剑桥雅思7（剑七）的test1讲解(2)

    这组题目难度不大，但Q23和Q26相对来讲不太好判断。Q23:Modern water system imitate those of the ancient Greeks and Romans.考生很容易根据A段内容先入为主地以为答案会是T.但是根据关键词ancient Greeks and Romans的定位，确定的位置应该是C段：...with water services inferior to those available to the ancient Greeks and Romans. 该句并未提及现代供排水系统是否模仿了古希腊和古罗马的设计，而剩余段落的内容虽然也讨论到相关内容，但仍不能认为是有关imitate的，正确答案是NOT GIVEN. Q26: In the future, governments should maintain ownership of water infrastructures.  通过Scanning定位到H段，因为首句中出现了other kinds of infrastructure will still have to be built, 细读下来，得出答案NOT GIVEN. 然后来到 Headings 题，考生会发现该题目不如想象中的难，只要Q21-Q26做得认真，掌握了一定的信息量，有如做好了铺垫，对于一名中等程度的考生，Q14-20是有望达到80%的正确概率的，换言之，将错误的题目数量控制在2道以内。
    而事实上，笔者认为，也只有Q17显得较难.Q17要求判断E段的主旨大意，首句：At the outset of the new millennium, however, the way resource planners think about water is beginning to change. 该句会误导一些实力不够或阅读习惯和积累都欠佳的同学选到iii, v, vi, 甚至是ii, 而这些并非正确答案。直至读到Line 4:  Some water experts are now demanding that existing infrastructure be used in smarter ways rather than building new facilities, ... 才会意识到List 中的i. Scientists' call for a revision of policy. 是信息吻合的正确选项。

    Passage 3的题目‘Educating Psyche’表明极可能是有关教育的某项实验,具有较详细的逻辑推理和说明，可以判断这是一篇具有一定难度的文章，不过题型的难度适中。在细节判断题里面的Q35会令一些考生感觉到不好判断。 Q35. Teachers say they prefer suggestopedia to traditional approaches to language teaching. 由于题目中prefer ... to  的信息和文中最后一段的首句：While suggetopedia has gained some notoriety through success in the teaching of modern languages, few teachers are able to emulate the spectacular results of Lozanov and his associates. 尤其是和划线部分的信息背离，所以相当一部分学生会轻易选择了FALSE, 忽略了题目中一个极为简单的前提：Teachers say..., 从而导致错误，只要注意到该信息点，就不会错过正确答案NOT GIVEN.
