審題技巧
恰當?shù)膶忣}可以對解題產(chǎn)生事半功倍的效果。
決定審題的三大要素——詞匯量、審題速度、審題的技巧。
審題的技巧主要有:
1.劃重點:發(fā)現(xiàn)重合部分但不勾畫,只標注區(qū)別點和否定詞。
例1:2000年6月真題
11.[A]To find out whether they take music lessons in their spare time.
[B]To find out whether they can name four different musical instruments.
[C]To find out whether they enjoy playing musical instruments in school.
[D]To find out whether they differ in preference for musical instruments.
解析:各選項中To find out whether they重合,均不畫出。選項B、C、D中 musical instruments重合,不畫。只標記區(qū)別點如下:
11.[A]To find out whether they take music lessons in their spare time.
[B]To find out whether they can name four different musical instruments.
[C]To find out whether they enjoy playing musical instruments in school.
[D]To find out whether they differ in preference for musical instruments.

20.[A]It can reduce the number of passenger complaints.
[B]It can make air travel more entertaining.
[C]It can cut down the expenses for air travel.
[D]It can lessen the discomfort caused by air travel.
解析:選項B、C、D中air travel多次重合,不畫,A項中passenger為air travel的行為主體,不畫;四個選項均有can,說明該題主要講述it的作用和功能。標記區(qū)別點如下:
20.[A]It can reduce the number of passenger complaints.
[B]It can make air travel more entertaining.
[C]It can cut down the expenses for air travel.
[D]It can lessen the discomfort caused by air travel.
2.內(nèi)容分類:
例1:1999年1月真題
18.[A]It doesn't need to be refueled.
[B]It will use solar energy as fuel.
[C]It will be driven by electrical power.
[D]It will be more suitable for long distance travel.
19.[A]Passengers in the car may be seated facing one another.
[B]The front seats will face forward and the back seats backward.
[C]Special seats will be designed for children.
[D]More seats will be added.
解析:18題通過A項中的refueled,B項中的solar energy及fuel,C項中的electrical power可判斷出這道題很可能談?wù)摰氖枪┠堋?9題通過四個選項都有seat可以判斷講的是座位的話題。結(jié)合兩道題的選項可判斷本篇文章很可能談?wù)撥嚨脑掝}。
例2:2000年1月真題
12.[A]He sold fast food.[B]He raised dogs.
[C]He was a cook.[D]He was a cartoonist.

例3:2000年1月真題
17.[A]To look for a different lifestyle.[B]To enjoy themselves.
[C]For adventure.[D]For education.
解析:不定式經(jīng)常表示目的或原因,for也表目的或原因。所以這道題很可能問某事發(fā)生的目的或原因。
3.選項邏輯:
1)若四個選項中有兩個選項探討同一話題,只是在細節(jié)點出現(xiàn)不同,則答案可能在這兩個選項中產(chǎn)生。
2)若四個選項是針對某一話題的態(tài)度評價,其中兩個選項針對同一主題的態(tài)度截然不同,如一正一反,則答案可能在這兩個選項中產(chǎn)生。
3)若四個選項中有兩個選項經(jīng)過同義轉(zhuǎn)換后,不僅說的是同一話題,而且表達意思也相同,則這兩個選項均不選。
例1:2007年6月真題
12.[A]He enjoys finding fault with exams.
[B]He is sure of his success in the exam.
[C]He doesn't know if he can do well in the exam.
[D]He used to get straight A's in the exams he took.
解析:選項B和選項C意思截然相反,正確答案很可能在這兩項中產(chǎn)生。
原文:W:I've never seen you have such confidence before in the exam!
M:It's more than confidence!Right now I felt that if I got less than an A,it will be the fault of the exam itself.
Q:What does the man mean?
答案:B
例2:2006年12月23日真題
9.[A]It's absurd.[B]It's tedious.
[C]It's understandable.[D]It's justifiable.
解析:選項A和選項C意思截然相反,正確答案很可能在這兩項中產(chǎn)生。

W:Well.Its food doesn't make you fat,but eating too much of it does.How about chocolate and ice cream? Are they all responsible? It's silly!

答案:A
例3:1999年1月真題
9.[A]It's quite normal.[B]It's too high.
[C]It's cheap indeed.[D]It could be cheaper.
解析:若選B,價格太高,那么D就不能算是錯的,所以B、D經(jīng)同義替換后成為近似相同的選項,都不對。答案更可能是A或C。加上B、D均說價格非正常,所以B、C、D是同一話題的不同分支,所以答案更可能是選項C。
原文:W:John told me he had got a second?hand car.Do you know how much he paid for it?
M:Well,he said he paid 800 dollars for it.I think he got a real bargain.
Q:What does the man think of the price of the car?

[C]By doing physical exercise.[D]By eating fruit and vegetables.
解析:此題應(yīng)該提問How(對應(yīng)by),其中A說到節(jié)食,而B“少吃幾頓飯”和D“吃蔬菜水果”都是對選項A的同義替換和轉(zhuǎn)述,所以答案很可能是C。
原文:W:When I go on a diet,I eat only fruit,and that takes off weight quickly.
M:I prefer to eat whatever I want,and then run regularly to lose weight.
Q:How does the man control his weight?
答案:C
