细数雅思单选题常见的3个“套路”

　　听力单选题一直是各位烤鸭冲击高分的“拦路虎”，随着近两年听力中单选题在考试中比例的上升，这个“拦路虎”正在给烤鸭们造成越来越多的困扰，今天北京新东方雅思老师高老师就来阐述下单选题中那些最常见的“套路”，耐心看完对你一定有帮助，文章最后会有总结。

　　在了解“套路”之前，先确定单选题目前在真题中存在的形式和特点：

　　1. 单选题目前主要出现在听力的Part2以及Part3部分

　　2. Part2的听力形式是一个人的独白，而Part3是2~3个人的对话(有男女的区分)

　　#套路1：“男女顺序”暗藏玄机

　　我们之前提到第三部分的题目是2—3个人的对话（一般会有男女的区分），而单选题中常出现的一类问题就是针对对话中某个人的观点，比如下面的21题询问的就是男生Jack的观点：

　　21. Why is Jack interested in investigatingseed germination？

　　A.He may do a module on a related topic lateron.

　　B.He wants to have a career in plant Science.

　　C.He is thinking of choosing this topic forhis dissertation.

　　下面的26题询问的就是女生Hiroko的观点：

　　26. Why is Hiroko feeling more positive abouttutorials now？

　　A.She finds the other students’ opinions more interesting.

　　B.She is making more of a contribution.

　　C.The tutor includes her in the discussion.

　　这种询问男生或女生的题目暗藏什么玄机呢？根据大量剑桥真题的分析发现两点：

　　1）如果题干询问的是男生的观点，那答案就是由男生给出的，反之亦然。所以在听题时，区分男女说的话，可以大量减少听题内容，精确找准出题的位置。

　　2）如果题干询问的是男生的观点，而女生如果提到选项的内容，那该选项基本是干扰项，反之亦然。所以在听题时，注意异性的观点是否出现在选项中，如果出现基本可以排除。

　　比如剑桥13Test1Section3的21题：

　　21.Why is Jack interested in investigatingseed germination？

　　A.He may do a module on a related topic lateron.

　　B.He wants to have a career in plant Science.

　　C.He is thinking of choosing this topic forhis dissertation.

　　该题题干中询问的是Jack（男）的观点，答案自然也是由男生给出，答案句如下：

　　Emma：OK. Anyparticular reason？ I know you're hoping to work inplant science（B） eventually ...

　　Jack：Yeah， but practically everything we do is going to feed into that. No， there’s an optional module on seedstructure and function in the third year that l might do. so I thought it mightbe useful for that. （A）If Ichoose that option， I don’thave to do a dissertation module.

　　在跟答案句接近的位置题目中的另一个人Emma（女）提到了plant science（B选项），而由Jack（男）所给出的正确答案是A.

　　同样的套路还出现在了下面的题目剑桥12Test5Section3的23题：

　　23.Stewart expects that in the futurelibraries will

　　A maintain their traditional function.

　　B become centres for local communities.

　　C no longer contain any books.

　　题目中问的是Stewart（男生）的观点，答案也是有由男生给出的，我们看下原文是如何描述的：

　　Trudie： Mm. I expectthat libraries will go on evolving in the next few years. Some have alreadybecome centres where community （B）activities take place， like local clubsmeeting there. I think that'll become even more common.

　　Stewart： I'd like tothink so， and that they'll still be serving theirtraditional function， but I’mnot so sure. There are financial implications， afterall. What I'm afraid will happen is that books and magazines will all disappear， and there'll just be rows and rows of computers.（C） They won't look anything like thelibraries we're used to.

　　首先答案依然是由Stewart（男）给出的（C为正确答案），同时女生Trudie通过centres和community两个词也提到了B选项，按照“套路2”同样可以排除B。

　　同样的套路还出现在剑桥13Test1的25题/剑桥9Test1的30题等…

　套路2：“同意”之前是答案

　　在雅思听力Part3中，有一部分题目专门询问两个人共同的观点，比较典型的特点就是题目中会出现agree，比如：

　　24.Trevor and Stephanie agree that comics

　　A. are inferior to books.

　　B. have the potential for being useful.

　　C. discourage children from using theirimagination.

　　22.Jack and Emma agree the main advantage oftheir present experiment is that it can be

　　A. described very easily.

　　B. carried out inside the laboratory.

　　C. completed in the time available.

　　这类题目最大的特点就是，一方会提出自己的观点，这些观点是有可能出现在选项里面的，但是重要的是另一方必须表现出同意才能确定答案。

　　例如剑桥雅思12Test5中的22题：

　　22.They agree that one disadvantage of freedigitalised books is that

　　A they may take a long time to read.

　　B they can be difficult to read.

　　C they are generally old.

　　题目中两个人对于digitalised books进行了讨论，两个人同意它的缺点是什么，原文如下：

　　Stewart：But thedigitalised books that are available online for free are mostly out ofcopyright， aren't they？ Andcopyright in this country lasts for 70 years after the author dies. So youwon't find the latest best-seller or up-to-date information（C）.

　　Trudie： That’s an important point. Anyway， I find it hardto concentrate when I'm reading a long text on a screen. I'd much rather read aphysical book. And it takes longer to read on a screen（A）.

　　Stewart： Oh， I prefer it. I suppose it's just a personal preference.

　　首先男生Stewart提出了digitalisedbooks的缺点便是大多都过时，找不到比较新的版本（即题目中C选项），此时他的同伴Trudie赞同了他的观点（That’san important part），所以可以确定答案C。但是原文中依然出现了干扰选项，我们完全可以通过Stewart的回答看出，他并没有同意，而是觉得是个人喜好。当我们听到某个选项信息的时候，一定要注意另一个人的态度，往往表达同意这句话的前面便是答案。

　　我们再看一道剑桥13Test1的24题：

　　24.They agree that Graves' book on seedgermination is disappointing because

　　A. it fails to cover recent advances in seedscience.

　　B. the content is irrelevant for them.

　　C. its focus is very theoretical.

　　答案如下：

　　Emma： The one by Graves？ Ilooked through it for my last experiment， though itwasn't all that relevant(B) there. It would be for this experiment， though. I found it quite hard to follow ，lots about the theory(C)， which I hadn’t expected.

　　Jack：Yes， I’d been hoping for something morepractical.

　　答案中Emma首先提到了not allthat relevant，对应到了题目中的B选项（干扰），但是在这句话后面并没有另一个人的观点，而是出现了另一个观点C（lots about the theory），而Jack立刻给出了yes表示同意，所以这个题目选C。

　　套路3：题干有“感情”

　　单选题的题干中往往会包含一些带有“感情”的词，重要的是这些感情词会在录音中被替换掉，而录音中出现“感情“词的地方往往就是答案句。

　　首先题干中什么样的词才是感情词？感情词一般分两类：“好”和“坏”。

　　比如21题中difficulty(困难)就是表示“坏”感情：

　　21.Russ says that his difficulty in planningthe presentation is due to

　　A. his lack of knowledge about the topic.

　　B. his uncertainty about what he should tryto achieve.

　　C. the short time that he has for preparation.

　　比如11题中的benefited（有利于）就是表示“好”感情：

　　11.What change in the road network is knownto have benefited the town most？

　　A. the construction of a bypass

　　B. the development of cycle paths

　　C. the banning of cars from certain streets

　　我们以剑桥12Test5Section2第11题为例：

　　11.According to the manager， what do most people like about the job of kitchen assistant？

　　A. the variety of work

　　B. the friendly atmosphere

　　C. the opportunities for promotion

　　这个题中出现了like这个表示“好”感情的词，所以在听题的同时，我们要想办法找到录音中表达“喜欢“的词(多半会被替换)。

　　原文里面是这样的：

　　OK， they might getshouted at sometimes， but it’snothing personal， and they're pleased that they have somany different things to do. which means they never get bored.

　　pleased替换了like，而后面表达的so many different things to do 恰好就是A选项，所以正确答案是A.

　　我们再看一道包含“坏”感情的题目，这道题目源自剑桥13Test1Section2 12题：

　　12.In a survey， localresidents particularly complained about

　　A. dangerous driving by parents.

　　B. pollution from trucks and lorries.

　　C. inconvenience from parked cars.

　　题干中包含了“坏”感情，complained(抱怨)，所以在听题的同时，我们要想办法找到录音中表达类似“抱怨“的“坏”词，原文里面是这样的：

　　People were very concerned about the jack ofvisibility on some roads due to cars parked along the sides of the roads.

　　Concerned表达了担忧，恰好是题干中“坏”的感情，而后面跟的内容恰好提到了C选项的cars，这样很快就能锁定C选项。

　　总结

　　1. Part3题目标注好男女，听题量会自动减半，利用男女排除错误答案。

　　2. 题干出现agree，先定位观点，后注意观点后对方的态度，同意之前就是答案。
