雅思听力 | 如何利用代词还原解题法快速选出答案?
在所有雅思题型中,最让考生头疼的是以信息量著称的选择题。而单选题是各类选择题的基础形式。我们需要掌握如何简单有效地在众多干扰和替换之中迅速整理出解题思路。在错综复杂的选择题的各个选项中,如果出现了同一或者不同名词的单复数区别。烤鸭们也可以利用原文中的代词来还原选项。
语法依据
英语是形合的语言,所以形式语法对于英语本身也是非常重要的存在。结合欧洲语言传统,英语对性数配合有着一定的偏执要求。就代词来说最重要的作用就是起到性数配合。对于数量,复数用they,单数用it。不能混用。在雅思听力的应考过程中,由于录音只播放一次的缘故,很多考生会有选择性地挑选注意力集中的地方,从而忽略了某些细节。但代词的接替方法以及在例题中的应用题型考生对于最简单的英语灵活运用恰恰体现了对于在篇章中检索信息的能力。
例题
本文的例题来自于剑桥真题13Test 2 Section 3 Question 25。通常Section3的话题非常固定。大部分都是老师与学生或者学生与学生讨论研究项目的步骤。而通常都会有一题会问what do they decided to do next. 例题如下:
(13-2-3-25) What does the tutor advise Russ to do next while preparing his presentation?
A. Summarisethe main point he wants to make
B. Readthe notes he has already made
C. Listthe topics he wants to cover
通过初步的审题可以看到,题干的人物定位是the tutor,为女声。名词定位是Russ,动词定位是to do。选项中出现的是summarise the main point, read the notes和list the topics。有题干中的动词do可以替换三个动词。所以选项简化为do the main point, do the notes, do the topics。所以需要注意的点应该是三个名词在原文中出现的顺序以及替换形式。
解析
通过原文可以看到
Russ: what doyou think I should do next? I really have to plan the presentation today andtomorrow.
Tutor: well,initially I think you should ignore all the notes you’ve made, take a smallpiece of paper and write a single short sentence that ties together the whole presentation: it can be something as simple as “Nanotechnology isalready improving our lives.” Then start planning the content around that.You can always modify that sentence later it you need to.
女声的首句ignore the notes排除B选项,然后以a short sentence 来替换the main point。这是考点最频繁的替换解题法。其次,从代词还原解题法的角度来说,原文第二句和第三句话用来补充首句的观点,可以从侧面印证作者观点。其中的代词it和that指代单数,所以排除B选项和C选项,从而选择A。
练习
选取剑桥真题11Test3 Section 2 Question 15
The largestnumber of people are employed in
A. manufacturing
B. services
C. education
Employmentpatterns have changed, along with almost everything else. The number of schoolsand colleges has increased, making that the main employment sector.Services, such as website design and accountancy have grown in importance, andsurprisingly manufacturing hasn’t seen the decline that has affected it inother parts of country.
这道例题中定位people,be employed. 用代词that来还原解题排除B,然后A选项manufacturing在段落末尾出现且为否定。所以that还原成education。选C
总结
代词还原一般被认为是填空题的必考考点。其实在选择题中也是考生应对信息爆炸的一把利器。对于观点句或者补充观点句的代词,建议烤鸭们以笔记形式将代词记下以便后续用替换法和排除法检查核对来提高正确率。
