1一、明确告知选项个数随便翻一道多选题,阅读它的题目指令,就会发现任何一道多选都不会藏头露尾,它总是很坦然地告诉你,你要选2个,或者3个,或者4个…例1:剑5T1P1:Questions1-3ChooseTHREElettersA-HWriteyouranswersinboxes1-3onyouranswersheet.NBYouranswersmaybegiveninanyorder.WhichTHREEofthefollowingstatementsaretrueofJohnson'sDictionary?例2:剑8T3P2:Questions14-18ChooseFIVEletters,A-K.Writethecorrectlettersinboxes14-18onyouranswersheet.NBYouranswersmaybegiveninanyorder.Belowarelistedsomepopularbeliefsaboutgeniusandgiftedness.WhichFIVEofthesebeliefsarereportedbythewriterofthetext?二、选项数对应题量国内考试中的多选题,一般不告诉你选几个,而且可怕还在于多选少选就不给分,必须得刚好选到正确数量的正确选项。而雅思考试不但直接告诉你选几个,而且更NICE的是每个选项都是一道题,所以只要你选对一个,就可以得到一个勾。比如上面例1是选THREE,所以给到的题号是1-3;例2是选FIVE,所以给到题号14-18.而且,每道题都会有个NB(请注意),很温馨地提示你,Youranswersmaybegiveninanyorder.也就是说,在这几个2题号中,你只要选到对的选项填上对的字母即可。三、正确答案相对集中关于多选题的解答,还有至关重要的一点是它有针对性的范围,从来没有一道多选是要看完全文才能做的,所以我们说,多选题的正确答案,一般集中在1-2段。如上例2,题目指令说:Belowarelistedsomepopularbeliefsaboutgeniusandgiftedness.WhichFIVEofthesebeliefsarereportedbythewriterofthetext?考生应当根据提示,去文中寻找描述“popularbeliefs”的段落:原文:Theconceptofgeniusandofgiftshasbecomepartofourfolkculture,andattitudesareambivalenttowardsthem.Weenvythegiftedandmistrustthem.Inthemythologyofgiftedness,itispopularlybelievedthatifpeoplearetalentedinonearea,theymustbedefectiveinanother,thatintellectualsareimpractical,…这个时候,考生应该果段使用SKIM跳读法,每段看个开头一两句,基本就能定位到段落。剑桥系列所有多选中一道令人定位困难的,是剑5第一篇,即以上所举例1.题干中能用以定位的信息只有这一句:WhichTHREEofthefollowingstatementsaretrueofJohnson'sDictionary?而题中唯一可定位的词Johnson'sDictionary又刚好是本篇文章的大标题,因此有考生以为这组多选是要看全文的,但是我们若留意选项,会发现所以选项都是针对Dictionary的,所以只要寻找到直接描述Dictionary相关信息的段落即可。AItavoidedallscholarlywords.BItwastheonlyEnglishdictionaryingeneralusefor200years.3CItwasfamousbecauseofthelargenumberofpeopleinvolved.DItfocusedmainlyonlanguagefromcontemporarytexts.ETherewasatimelimitforitscompletion.FItignoredworkdonebypreviousdictionarywriters.GIttookintoaccountsubtletiesofmeaning.HItsdefinitionswerefamousfortheiroriginality.让我们跳读一下原文------P1:ForthecenturybeforeJohnson'sDictionarywaspublishedin1775,therehadbeenconcernaboutthestateoftheEnglishlanguage.…(显然不是)P2:Therehad,ofcourse,beendictionariesinthepast,…(显然不是)…P4:Johnsonwasapoetandcriticwhoraisedcommonsensetotheheightsofgenius…(显然还不是)P5:Theworkwasimmense;fillingabouteightylargenotebooks(andwithoutalibrarytohand),Johnsonwrotethedefinitionsofover40,000words,andillustratedtheirmanymeaningswithsome114,000quotationsdrawnfromEnglishwritingoneverysubject,fromtheElizabethanstohisowntime.(BINGO,找到了!!!)四、按文章顺序答题最后一点,找到题目所对应的段落之后,应按文章顺序答题。因为选项无序,且有一些选项是混淆项。但是文章内容多,选项多,怎样才能有条理地筛选而不至于大脑容量不够,则应采取以下原则:每看原文一到两句,到选项中筛选一次,把能选的选出,能排的排掉,然后再读一到两句,再进行一次排选。以此类推,直至选到全部选项。4当然,如果考生脑容量较大,则可以选阅读选项,记住每个选项关键词,然后对原文相应段落进行扫读,对于踩点的原句进行细读,没有踩点的句子则迅速带过。如此,也能顺利解决多选题。方法可以因人而异,只要将其特点牢记于心,则万变不离其宗,问题便可迎刃而解!
