在雅思听力的主流题型中,配对题一直是众多烤鸭心中的痛,面对配对题,他们总是迷茫而无助。通过分析今年上半年的考题回顾发现,配对题出现的比例比去年及以往有所上升,甚至还曾出现在2013年5月18号的section 1中,着实把当天考试的考生们惊吓了一把。配对题虽然不是每次必考题目,但通常题量保持在4-7题之间,最多出现过11题,由此看来,分值还是很可观的。
实质上,配对题核心考查要点和选择题是一样的,但是由于节奏较快,考点密集,难度大于选择题,加上烤鸭们由于缺乏对这类题型的总结,因此导致得分率不高,只有干着急的份。今天,新东方雅思专家就来帮大家解决这样的难题。
范例分析:选项多于空的配对题。题目是对于theatre的变化部分进行描述,然后将每一个部分的具体变化进行匹配。
录音原文:Lynne: The first thing people will see when they go in is the foyer has been repainted in the original green and gold. Then the box office has been reoriented with its own access from the side of the building instead of through the foyer, which means it can be open longer hours, and has more space, too.
示例分析:foyer在题干中没有给出,属干扰;这里的then是非常好的递进关系承接词,提醒注意box office的出现。接下来,the box office has been reoriented with its own access from the side of the building中,reoriented、its own access和B选项given separate entrance相对应。
生词补充:
foyer大厅
reoriented重新确定位置
with its own access有自己的入口
录音原文:The shop is the one part of the redevelopment which isn’t yet complete. We hope to reopen the shop in the next few months.
示例分析:在定位词shop出现后,isn’t yet complete、to reopen the shop in the next few months均能够帮助确定答案G选项 temporarily closed。
录音原文:Man: Will audiences find any difference in the auditorium?
Lynne: Yes, we’ve increased the leg-room between the rows. This means that there are now fewer seats.
示例分析: 当男的问到auditorium时,若知道是观众席的意思,则知道定位到13题,随后fewer seats较容易就能对应上C选项reduced in number。
录音原文:We have already had a few seats which were suitable for wheelchair users, and now there are twice as many.
示例分析:We have already had a few seats which were suitable for wheelchair users这一句又是非常明显的,容易定位到14题,now there are twice as many对应上doubled in number选项A。
录音原文:Something else that will benefit audiences is the new lifts. The two we used to have were very small and slow. They’ve now gone. And we’ve got much more efficient ones.
