这种题型被称为流程配对题型,估计大家主要在阅读中见过此类题型吧,剑12将其引进到了听力考试中,且处于Section 3, 难度偏大,这就是剑12听力“新题型”,这一题型结合了传统填空与配对的特征,既有所听即所得的题目,也有需要将选项与原文同义转换并且理解的题目,我们来看这篇的原文:
James: Could you ask for some advice about writing the paper I’m writing on about the Vikings? I have to do that this week, and I am a bit stuck.
Beth: Of course. Have you decided yet what to write about?
James: No. I have not. There is so much that seems interesting-Viking settlement in other countries, trade, mythology...
Beth: Well, what I suggest is that you read an assignment a student wrote last year, Q26 which is kept in the library. It’s short and well focused, and I’M sure you will find it helpful.I’ll give you the details in a moment. Textbooks usually cover so many topics, it can be very difficult to choose just one.
James: OK. I’ve a DVD of the film about the Vikings that came out earlier this year. Should I watch that again?
Beth: If it’s the one I’m thinking of, hmm, I’d ignore it- it’s more fantasy than reality. But I’ve got a recording of a documentary that you should watch. Q27 It makes some interesting and provocative points, which I think will help you to focus your topic.
James: Right! So then should I work out an outline?
Beth: Yes, just heading for different sections at this stage. Q28 And then you should start looking for suitable articles and books to draw on, and take notes Q29 which you organise according to those headings.
James: I see.
Beth: Then put short phases and sentences as bullets points under each heading. Q30 Make sure that this skeleton makes sense and flows properly, before writing the paper in full.
James: OK. Thanks, that’s very helpful.
第26题原文讲的是an assignment a student wrote, 答案是E student paper, 而原文出现的textbook对应选项F则是干扰;第27题的答案则是原文G documentary; 第28题答案是D structure, 而原文却是outline这个解释说明,29和30题的答案C note和A bullet points也是原文展现。可见,这个“新题型”其实就是将之前的剑桥系列中的老题型加以结合后的产物。
不过,之所以一直在“新题型”上加引号是因为剑桥8 Test 4 Section 3其实出现过长相极其相似的题型,只是以填空的形式存在,遵循所听即所得原则,而剑12中不完全遵循这一原则,同时也需要听力理解;另外在2014年发布的《雅思官方指南》Test 5 Section 3中有一样的选择类流程配对,题目如下:
OG Test 5 Section 3
Questions 26-30
Complete the flow-chart below
Choose FIVE answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-G, next to Questions 26-30
A website
B locations
C designs
D TV advertising campaigns
E quality
F values
G software programs
History of Furniture Rossi
The product 26_________ led to wider customer base.
↓
Greater customer demand meant other 27____________ were needed.
↓
Better 28____________ increased overall profitability.
↓
Changes to the 29__________ were brought on by customer complaints.
↓
Furniture Rossi wants to make people move aware of its 30 _______________.
这题中是将原文的storehouse与选项中的locations进行上下义的配对,其他几乎都是原文对应选项,但是剑12将它的难度升级了一个级别,所以大家在后期备考中要注意这类题型。
“新题型”解决
那么这类题型要如何解决呢,一是大家要将之前的填空与选择做题方法结合:填空的定位和选择的同义转换都要在读题时一一考虑到,二就是预测变得相当重要。比如我们来看剑12中另一个此题型的例子:
Test 7 Section 3
Questions 21-26
Complete the flow-chart below
Choose SIX answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-G, next to Questions 21-26
A patterns B names C sources D questions
E employees F solutions G headings H officials
STAGES IN DOING A TOURISM CASE STUDY
REASEARCH
Locate and read relevant articles, noting key information and also 21 ___________
Identify a problem or need
Select interviewees- these may be site 22___________, visitors or city 23_____________
Prepare and carry out interviews. If possible, collect statistics.
Check whether 24____________ of interviewees can be used
ANALYSIS
Select relevant information and try to identify 25____________
Decide on the best form of visuals
WRITING THE CASE STUDY
Give some background before writing the main sections
Do NOT end with 26__________
21题定位应是名词articles和key information, 而答案应是与它们并列的信息;22和23题从题中可以预测出一定是人物一类的答案,所以答案锁定在E, H这两个选项;24题最容易预测,被采访者的什么信息可以被使用,结合选项,最有可能的就是选项B, 当然这是预测,最终答案要以听力原文为准;25, 26题各自都在一个单独的小标题下,所以对应的小标题是它们的首部定位信息,26读题必定要注意的是否定信息,根据以往的雅思听力考法,此类题目喜欢用肯定信息来进行干扰,这也属于预测范畴,即这题应该是有干扰信息的,不要被迷惑了。我们来看原文:
NATALIE: Dave, I’m worried about our case study. I’ve done a bit of reading, but I’m not sure what is involved in actually writing a case study- I missed the lecture whether Dr Baker talked us through it.
DAVE: OK, well, it’s quite straightforward. We’ve got our focus- that’s tourism at the Horton Castle site. And you said you’d done some reading about it.
NATALIE: Yes, I found some articles and made notes of the main points.
DAVE: Did you remember to keep a record of where you got the information from? Q21
NATALIE: Sure, I know what a pain it is when you forget that.
DAVE: OK, we can compare what we’ve read. Then we have to decide on a particular problem or need at our site. And then think about who we’re going to interview to get more information.
NATALIE: OK. So who’d that be? The people who work there? And presumably some of the tourist too?
DAVE: Yes, both those groups. Q22 So we’ll have to go to the site to do that, I suppose. But we might also do some of our interviewing away from the site-- we could even contact some people here in the city, like administrators involved in overseeing tourism. Q23
NATALIE: OK. So we’ll need to think about our interview questions and fix times and places for the meetings. It’s all going to take a lot of time.
DAVE: Mmm. And if we can, we should ask our interviewees if they can bring along some numerical data that we can add to support our findings.
NATALIE: And photographs?
DAVE: I think we have plenty of those already. But Dr Baker also said we have to establish with our interviewees whether we can identify them in our case study, or whether they want to be anonymous. Q24
NATALIE: Oh. I wouldn’t have thought of that. OK, once we’ve got all this information, I suppose we have to analyse it.
DAVE: Yes, put it all together and choose what’s relevant to the problem we’re focusing on, and analyse that carefully to find out if we can identify any trends or regularities there. Q25 That’s the main thing at this stage, rather than concentrating on details or lots of facts.
NATALIE: OK, And then once we’ve analysed that, what next?
DAVE: Well, then we need to think about what we do with the data we’ve selected to make it as clear as possible to our readers. Things like graphs, or tables, or charts...
NATALIE: Right.
DAVE: Then the case study itself is mostly quite standard; we begin by presenting the problem, and giving some background, then go through the main sections, but the thing that surprised me is that in a normal report we’d end with some suggestions to deal with the problem or need we identified, but in a case study we end up with a question or a series of questions to our readers, and they decide what ought to be done. Q26
NATALIE: Oh, I hadn’t realized that.
答案分别是:21 C 22 E 23 H 24 B 25 A 26 F。21题与题目并列的信息sources在原文中被解释为keep a record of where you got the information from; 22, 23题确实是关于人物的选项,但是都被解释说明了——employee被解释为the people who work there, officials被解释为administrators involved in overseeing tourism, 略难,但是只要预测好,也只有H这一个选项符合这里的答案;24题想理解的关键主要在于anonymous(匿名的)一词,很多同学估计会比较陌生,从而导致答案缺失,但是预测加上上一句的identify them in our case study, 就可以准确无误地选择出B; 25题考察的是同义词转换regularities与patterns的理解;26题的干扰是D选项questions, 这是说要以之结尾,而答案是令他们surprised的F选项solutions。
