审题技巧
恰当的审题可以对解题产生事半功倍的效果。
决定审题的三大要素——词汇量、审题速度、审题的技巧。
审题的技巧主要有:
1.划重点:发现重合部分但不勾画,只标注区别点和否定词。
例1:2000年6月真题
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:各选项中To find out whether they重合,均不画出。选项B、C、D中 musical instruments重合,不画。只标记区别点如下:
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.
例2:2007年6月真题
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:选项B、C、D中air travel多次重合,不画,A项中passenger为air travel的行为主体,不画;四个选项均有can,说明该题主要讲述it的作用和功能。标记区别点如下:
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.内容分类:
例1:1999年1月真题
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题通过A项中的refueled,B项中的solar energy及fuel,C项中的electrical power可判断出这道题很可能谈论的是供能。19题通过四个选项都有seat可以判断讲的是座位的话题。结合两道题的选项可判断本篇文章很可能谈论车的话题。
例2:2000年1月真题
12.[A]He sold fast food.[B]He raised dogs.
[C]He was a cook.[D]He was a cartoonist.
解析:很明显,该题问的是这位男士的职业。
例3:2000年1月真题
17.[A]To look for a different lifestyle.[B]To enjoy themselves.
[C]For adventure.[D]For education.
解析:不定式经常表示目的或原因,for也表目的或原因。所以这道题很可能问某事发生的目的或原因。
3.选项逻辑:
1)若四个选项中有两个选项探讨同一话题,只是在细节点出现不同,则答案可能在这两个选项中产生。
2)若四个选项是针对某一话题的态度评价,其中两个选项针对同一主题的态度截然不同,如一正一反,则答案可能在这两个选项中产生。
3)若四个选项中有两个选项经过同义转换后,不仅说的是同一话题,而且表达意思也相同,则这两个选项均不选。
例1:2007年6月真题
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:选项B和选项C意思截然相反,正确答案很可能在这两项中产生。
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日真题
9.[A]It's absurd.[B]It's tedious.
[C]It's understandable.[D]It's justifiable.
解析:选项A和选项C意思截然相反,正确答案很可能在这两项中产生。

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月真题
9.[A]It's quite normal.[B]It's too high.
[C]It's cheap indeed.[D]It could be cheaper.
解析:若选B,价格太高,那么D就不能算是错的,所以B、D经同义替换后成为近似相同的选项,都不对。答案更可能是A或C。加上B、D均说价格非正常,所以B、C、D是同一话题的不同分支,所以答案更可能是选项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?
答案:C
例4:2002年1月真题
8.[A]By going on a diet.[B]By having fewer meals.
[C]By doing physical exercise.[D]By eating fruit and vegetables.
解析:此题应该提问How(对应by),其中A说到节食,而B“少吃几顿饭”和D“吃蔬菜水果”都是对选项A的同义替换和转述,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
