题型技巧分析

判断题作为雅思阅读的主流题型，一直是让考生较为困惑的一种题型，

这种困惑往往来自于中西方文化在思维模式上的差异。西方文化较为

侧重证据性，追求思维上的细节对应，因此考生在做题中应逐渐适应

这种逻辑方式。可参考以下判断原则：

True: 1. 同义改写； 2. 归纳总结

False: 1. 直接相反； 2. 原文是多个项目并列但题目是“必须”或者“只

有”； 3. 缺少条件成分

Not given: 1. 内容在原文中无提及； 2. 题目范围小于原文范围； 3. 比

较关系不成立

* 判断题应特别注意书写的规范性：注意看是 YES/NO/NOT

GIVEN 还是 TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN, 书写时要大写全拼。

相似英文原文阅读

A The idea of electrical communication seems to have begun as

long ago as 1746, when about 200 monks at monastery in Paris

arranged themselves in a line over a mile long, each holding ends of

25 ft iron wires. The abbot, also a scientist, discharged a primitive

electrical battery into the wire, giving all the monks a simultaneous

electrical shock. "This all sounds very silly, but is in fact extremely

important because, firstly, they all said 'ow' which showed that you

were sending a signal right along the line; and, secondly, they all said

'ow' at the same time, and that meant that you were sending the

signal very quickly, "explains Tom Standage, author of the Victorian

Internet and technology editor at the Economist. Given a more

humane detection system, this could be a way of signaling over long

distances.

B With wars in Europe and colonies beyond, such a signaling

system was urgently needed. All sorts of electrical possibilities were

proposed, some of them quite ridiculous. Two Englishmen, William

Cooke and Charles Wheatstone came up with a system in which

dials were made to point at different letters, but that involved five

wires and would have been expensive to construct.

C Much simpler was that of an American, Samuel Morse, whose

system only required a single wire to send a code of dots and

dashes. At first, it was imagined that only a few highly skilled

encoders would be able to use it but it soon became clear that many

people could become proficient in Morse code. A system of lines

strung on telegraph poles began to spread in Europe and America.

D The next problem was to cross the sea. Britain, as an island with

an empire, led the way. Any such cable had to be insulated and the

first breakthrough came with the discovery that a rubber-like latex

from a tropical tree on the Malay peninsula could do the trick. It was

called gutta percha. The first attempt at a cross channel cable came

Research Academy for Foreign Language Examinations

in 1850. With thin wire and thick installation, it floated and had to be

weighed down with lead pipe.

E It never worked well as the effect of water on its electrical

properties was not understood, and it is reputed that a French

fishermen hooked out a section and took it home as a strange new

form of seaweed The cable was too big for a single boat so two had

to start in the middle of the Atlantic, join their cables and sail in

opposite directions. Amazingly, they succeeded in 1858, and this

enabled Queen Victoria to send a telegraph message to President

Buchanan. However, the 98-word message took more than 19 hours

to send and a misguided attempt to increase the speed by increasing

the voltage resulted in failure of the line a week later.

F By 1870, a submarine cable was heading towards Australia. It

seemed likely that it would come ashore at the northern port of

Darwin from where it might connect around the coast to Queensland

and New South Wales. It was an undertaking more ambitious than

spanning an ocean. Flocks of sheep had to be driven with the 400

workers to provide food. They needed horses and bullock carts and,

for the parched interior, camels. In the north, tropical rains left the

teams flooded. In the centre, it seemed that they would die of thirst.

One critical section in the red heart of Australia involved finding a

route through the McDonnell mountain range and then finding water

on the other side.

G The water was not only essential for the construction team. There

had to be telegraph repeater stations every few hundred miles to

boost the signal and the staff obviously had to have a supply of water,

lust as one mapping team was about to give up and resort to drinking

brackish water, some aboriginals took pity on them. Altogether, 40,

000telegraph poles were used in the Australian overland wire. Some

were cut from trees. Where there were no trees, or where termites

ate the wood, steel poles were imported.

H On Thursday, August 22, 1872, the overland line was completed

and the first messages could be sent across the continent; and within

a few months, Australia was at last in direct contact with England via

the submarine cable, too. The line remained in service to bring news

of the Japanese attack on Darwin in 1942. it could cost several

pounds to send a message and it might take several hours for it to

reach its destination on the other side of the globe, but the world

would never be same again. Governments could be in touch with

their colonies. Traders could send cargoes based on demand and the

latest prices. Newspapers could publish news that had just happened

and was not many months old.

考试趋势分析和备考指导：

2016 年的场考试延续了 2015 年的风格，再次出现了 AB 卷，甚至澳新地区还出现了 C

卷。从题型上讲，考试在保持了一定数量传统题型的基础上，出现了难度较大的段落信息匹

配题。考生对此类题型多加练习并总结做题经验。 Summary 题型也多次出现，考生应

注意仔细阅读题目要求，看清楚是对文章哪一部分的总结概括。本次考试出现的题型对考生

的英语功底考察，对英语综合实力要求高，所以建议考生地提高语言实力应考，

从词汇和句法上把基本功打牢。

纵观 2015 年所有雅思考试， 2016 的阅读考试难度有增大的趋势，建议大家在熟练掌握判

断题（ 2015 出题比例 25.5%）和填空题（ 2015 出题比例 29.1%） 的基础上，重点准备段

落信息匹配题（ 配对题 2015 出题比例 21.1%）。题材方面，考生除了关注常规的社科历史

类文章话题外，应多加关注从 2015 比例逐渐上升的心理学类文章，进行相关话题词汇的积

累，多进行泛读练习。词汇量和阅读量是决定阅读分数的两个关键因素，再配合对题型的熟

悉和适当的技巧，才能在考试中无往而不胜。

题型难度分析 本篇阅读结合选择、 判断、 总结三种题型，难度适中。

题型技巧分析

选择题是雅思阅读中一种考生熟悉的传统题型，其中主要分为四选一

和多选多两种类型。多选多实际上是一种较为简单的题型，因为正确

数目是已知的(which three/four), 而且在原文中是集中出现

的。四选一在考试中相对较难，因为四个选项的区分度较低，考生往

往会出现看哪个选项都像的情况。

解题步骤：

找出题干中的核心关键词，尽可能定位到原文中的一个段落。

从头到尾阅读选定段落，根据题干中的其他关键词以及选项确定

正确，正确往往是对原文词句的改写。

对于难题可使用排除法。

注意顺序性：题目顺序和原文顺序基本一致。
