雅思阅读十大题型核心解题思路之考前总结
¨ List of Headings
文章由若干段话组成，要求给每段话找个小标题。小标题即指该段话的段落大意，中心思想，主旨。
点评：正确的Heading通常为由该自然段中心句改写而成的名词性短语。
【例】
文章：
An organization is only as good as people it employs. Selecting the right person for the job involves more than identifying the essential or desirable range of skills, educational and professional qualifications necessary to perform the job and then recruiting the candidate who is most likely to possess these skills or at least is perceived to have the ability and predisposition to acquire them. This is a purely person/skills match approach to selection.
答案： Heading：The person-skills match approach to selection
¨ True/False/Not Given
题目为若干个陈述句，要求根据原文所给出信息，判断每个陈述句是对(ture)、错(false)、还是未提及（not given）。
点评：题目通常在陈述A事物与B事物之间的关系，而关系通常被设置为考点。通过题目中的关键词找到原文该题出处，作对比理解。
【例】
原文：Women could not take part and were forbidden, on pain of death, even to attend the games.
题目：The spectators, as well as the participants, of the ancient Olympics were all male.
答案：True
¨ Summary
该类题目是一小段文字，是原文或原文中的几个段落主要内容的摘要改写，摘要中留出几个空要求考生填空。常分为填空式和选项式两种考法。
点评：通过空格前后的信息回原文定位，在原文找到答案后注意填在空格中的词性修改。
【例】
文章：
This Atlantis was a noble, sophisticated society that reigned in peace for centuries, until its people became complacent and greedy. Angered by their fall from grace, Zeus chose to punish them by destroying Atlantis.
题目：Summary
Plato ascribed the destruction of the continent to Atlanteans’ complacency and greed , which incurred punishment from the Greek God.
¨ Matching
通常由三部分组成：题目要求、选项集合、题目集合。要求考生根据某种关系将题目与选项配对。题目不具有顺序性，即题目的顺序和原文的顺序不一致。
点评：看清题目和选项间的关系，短暂记忆题目关键词。重点考查Scanning能力，即很快从文章中找到所需信息的能力，较少考理解。
¨ Multiple Choice
多项选择题。
点评：在题干中找出关键词回原文出处，找到心中的答案，再对比ABCD四个选项。
¨ Sentence Completion
两种考试形式：题目一个陈述句，但留有一个或两个空格，要求根据原文填空；或给出句子前面部分，要求在后面的若干选项中选择正确的表达补全题目句子。
点评：填空式Sentence Completion 就是一句话Summary；选择式Sentence Completion注意句子的语法语义前后一致性。
【例】
题目：Doctors are unsure whether statins can benefit
选项：
A. a variety of brand names
B. people with low levels of cholesterol
C. breakdown of muscle tissue
D. normalize high blood pressure
E. a statin ingredient
F. allow statins to be sold over the counter
答案：B （Statins这种药只能对病人有好处）
¨ Short Answer
每个题目都是一个特殊问句，要求根据原文作出回答，对答案有字数要求。
点评：注意特殊疑问词本身。
【例】
题：What are the dates of the two major eruptions of Mount St. Helens before 1980?
答案：about 1900 B.C. and around A.D. 1500 （回原文找到答案必然为两个时间并列）
¨ Diagram/Flowchart/Table Completion（填图填表题）
题目中有一个图表或一个表格，其中有一些信息，留出空格，要求根据文章填空。
点评：通常较简单，涉及答案信息常集中于文章中间的一个段落，注意快速答题。
