劍橋雅思四閱讀TEST 1實例解讀
TEST 1 Passage one
一.主要內容:
這篇文章講的主要是一個study,a study about childrens scientific knowledge and attitudes to rain forests 開展這個study的主要原因是children harbor misconceptions about pure, curriculum science. And these ideas may be developed by children absorbing ideas through the popular media.。并且little formal information is available about children ideas in this area
大概介紹了這個study的背景和目的之后,文章就開始涉及五個open-form questions。
第一個問題是要學生介紹rainforest;第二個問題是關于熱帶雨林的地理分布;第三個關于熱帶雨林的重要性;第四個關于熱帶雨林被破壞的原因;最后一個問題是有關保護熱帶雨林的重要性。
Study的結果證明了孩子對熱帶雨林有誤解,并且提出了environmental education對孩子的重要性。
二.習題解析
True or false not given的判斷標準:
1.true: 文章內完全有的; 可以推斷的
2.false:和文章內容完全相反;或是和文章內容不一致
3.not given:從文章中找不到;也推斷不出來
解析passage one中此類題
1. The plight of rainforests has largely been ignored by the media.
這題一看就知道去開頭找答案,因為只有開頭提到了media,第一處是第一段中間:in the face of the frequent and often vivid media coverage, it is likely that children will have formed ideas about rainforests.第二處是第二段中間 these ideas may be developed by children absorbing ideas through popular media.從這兩處就可以得出media對這個事情還是非常關注的,并沒有忽視。答案應該為false。
2. Children only accept opinions on rainforests that they encounter in their classroom.
這個一看又知道在開頭找答案。看第一段中間in the face of the frequent and often vivid media coverage, it is likely that children will have formed ideas about rainforests.-independent of any formal tuition. 從這里就可以看出不僅僅是課堂知識對孩子有影響,媒體的覆蓋也使孩子形成錯誤認識。答案應該為false。
3.It has been suggested that children hold mistaken views about the pure science
that they study at school.
這題還是在講孩子們錯誤觀點的問題,還是涉及到課堂,所以應該在開頭找。從第二段第一句many studies have shown that children harbor misconceptions about pure, curriculum science,這里兩個關鍵的詞,misconceptions是表示錯誤觀點,curriculum表示課內的,因此可以判斷這句話是對的,true。
4.The fact that childrens ideas about science form part of a larger framework of ideas means that it is easier to changes them.
這看起來有點難下結論,但是通過做以上三題,來來回回看前面幾段,應該不難發現framework這個詞,在第二段第二句。These misconceptions do not remain isolated but become incorporated into a multifaceted, but organized, conceptual framework, making it and the component ideas, some of which are erroneous, more robust but also accessible to modification. 句中有些詞不懂不礙事,只要能把關鍵的幾個詞看明白,其中accessible to modification就表示這種觀點可以改變。因此這道題是true。
5.The study involved asking children a number of yes/no questions such asAre there any rainforests in Africa?
這個問題一看就知道要到中間部分找,是關于提問的五個問題的,那么可以看到第四段第二句:secondary school children were asked to complete a questionnaire containing five open-form questions. 看到open-form,就可以知道不是yes/no questions了,答案應該為false。
如果還不放心,那么縱觀全文,五個問題分別如下:第一個問題是要學生介紹rainforest;第二個問題是關于熱帶雨林的地理分布;第三個關于熱帶雨林的重要性;第四個關于熱帶雨林被破壞的原因;最后一個問題是有關保護熱帶雨林的重要性。都是敞開式問題,也不是yes/no questions。
6. Girls are more likely to hold mistaken views about the rainforests destruction.
這道題目我們就要看girls和boys了,用scanning,發現兩處提到girls和boys,一. more girls than boys raised the idea of rainforests as animal habitats.說的是認為熱帶雨林是動物棲息所的女孩比男孩多,與題干不符。
二.More girls than boys said rainforests provided human habitats.說的是認為熱帶雨林是人類居所的女孩比男孩多,與題干也不符。因此,這屬于文中找不到,也推斷不出來,選擇not given。
7.The study reported here follows on from a series of studies that have looked at childrens understanding of rainforests.
這就看到了后面,最后一段中間:One encouragement is that the results of similar studies about other environmental issues suggest that older children seem to acquire the ability to appreciate, value and evaluate the conflicting views. 不管其研究的結果如何,similar studies是開展了,答案為true
8.A second study has been planned to investigate primary school childrens ideas about rainforests.
這題應該著重找primary school children,或者是相關的詞,并且位置應該在文章結尾處,可是縱觀全文也沒有發現這詞,就是沒有提到。答案應該為not given。
Questions 9-13
其實做完了以上的題目,整篇文章的內容都應該有所了解,這9-13題的答案就是到其中問卷調查的五個問題中去找,推敲一下答案 就都出來了。
Questions 14
這題要找title,其實就是要main idea,那么在對文章有所了解的基礎上選答案
A,講了在science curriculum內發展一個關于環境方面的study,文章顯然不是在science curriculum內,為錯
B, 孩子們對熱帶雨林的認識,以及對課程設計提供了線索。這個一看就和文章很貼近,前半句是study的內容,后半句是study的目的,再看一下后面的比較保險
C,孩子們在熱帶雨林這個問題上被媒體的誤導程度。那也只是在開頭提到了,后面壓根就沒有涉及到,是錯的
D,如何收集,編寫,描述中學生的觀點。與文章內容明顯不符合
E, 熱帶雨林的重要性以及被破壞的原因。這只是文中study包含的兩個問題,不涵蓋全部內容
比較一下,B是最適合的答案
