舉例如下:Q10 / Test 2 / Cambridge IV: 標題:Do the following statements agree with the views of the writer in Reading Passage 1? (Y / N / NG) 10. The Navajo language will die out because it currently has too few speakers. 該句為帶有原因狀語從句的復合句,判別正誤時,需分2步走,先判別主句,若主句是 N 或NG中的一個,那么就以此為答案,無需再判別從句了;但若主句判別為 Y, 那么還需持續對從句加以判別,從句最終的 Y / N /NG 便是標題的答案。
主句中The Navajo language will die out 的內容已知曉,在文章首段的 Line 3: … the native language is dying … (此處的native 指 the native Navojo, 前文有述),那么要判別的便是從句了。從其間的內容應該讀出關鍵信息是 too few speakers. 這兒包含了一點和數字相關的信息few, 換言之,文中有可能會涉及到數字。 到文中尋找,在第三段的Line 5 發現了 150,000 speakers. 回到句首讀原句:Navajo is considered endangered despite having 150,000 speakers. 雖然沒有明示 150,000 speakers 是多仍是少,不過despite 現已明確了口氣:多,由于整句是說:雖然有150,000人講納瓦霍語,它仍是面對危險地地步。這無疑是在說這個數字現已不少了。
因而,原句中的從句咱們能夠判別為錯誤,從而Q10 的答案是 NO. 舉例二:Q 5 / T 1 / Cambridge 5 … Johnson did not have a 5_________ available to him, but eventually produced definitions of inexcess of 40,000 words written down in 80 large notebooks.
由標題中呈現的數字40,000 能夠定位到原文中page 17 的第二段Line 4: Johnson wrote the definitions of over 40,000 words, and illustrated their many meanings…
返回到句首: The work was immense: filling about eighty large notebooks (and without a library to hand),
再由標題剖析得知:所需答案為可數名詞,并且是Johnson 在編撰詞典的工作中不具備的(did not … available),而文中括號里‘without a library to hand’正好契合了該信息點,還有a 這個信號詞進一步確認,答案就非它莫屬了:library
