  1. 题型特点

  1)占比重多

  2)对文中事实信息的理解

  3)对英文句子进行改写

  改写的形式主要分为以下几种:

  ① 原文引用

  Question: According to the passage, what was one effect of traveling animal shows?

  原文中相关的信息是:

  These animal shows served as traveling zoos where many Americans saw their first exotic animal. The creatures made such an impression that American English began to acquire new phrases.

  这道题的正确选项是:One effect of traveling animal shows is that American English acquired many new words and phrases.这句话就是对原文内容的引用。

  ② 同义替换

  词的替换:

  As a meteorological term, “eye" describes a circular region at the center of a severe wind storm.

  这句话可以同义替换成:As a meteorological concept, "eye" refers to a round area in the middle of an extreme wind disturbance.其中,同义词或短语有:term---concept,describe---refer to,circular region---round area,at the center of---in the middle of,severe wind storm---extreme wind disturbance。

  句式变换:

  Because this area is so small and irregular, it is difficult to observe.

  这句话是用“because”组成一个明显的因果关系复句。

  People have difficulty observing small and irregular area.

  这句话用了“have difficulty doing sth.”的句型直接表达了区域小、不规则而不能很好观测的问题,也是对原文的同义替换,不过是改变了一下句式而已。

  提炼概括:

  Computing has spawned new forms of media, such as the worldwide network of millions of computers called the Internet.

  这句话可以提炼成:The computer generated the new communication medium, the Internet.

  2. 解题方法

  解答事实信息题,首先要看题干,找到相应的关键词,然后根据关键词回到原文,找到相关的原文信息点,然后再核对选项。

  3. 例题分析

  例1:What does the author say about the presence of a blowhole in cetaceans?

  A. It clearly indicates that cetaceans are mammals.

  B. It cannot conceal the fact that cetaceans are mammals.

  C. It is the main difference between cetaceans and land-dwelling mammals.

  D. It cannot yield clues about the origins of cetaceans.

  解析:题干中的关键词是“blowhole”,根据关键词定位到原文“Their streamlined bodies, the absence of hind legs, and the presence of a fluke and blowhole cannot disguise(掩饰)their affinities(密切关系)with land dwelling mammals.”。A选项中的“clearly indicate”过于绝对化,是错误选项;B选项是原文的同义改写,是正确选项;C选项错误,原文说两者具有亲密关系,而C选项说两者是有差异的;D选项说不能给出鲸类起源的暗示,也是不符合原文信息的,因此这道题的正确答案就是B选项。

  例2:The author identifies political party loyalties and disagreements over tactics as two of several factors that

  A. Encouraged workers to demand higher wages

  B. Created divisions among workers

  C. Caused work to become more specialized

  D. Increased workers’ resentment of the industrial system

  解析:题干中的关键词是“factors”,根据关键词定位到原文“Workers were united in resenting the industrial system and their loss of status, but they were divided by ethnic and racial antagonisms, gender, conflicting religious perspectives, occupational differences, political party loyalties, and disagreements over tactics.”这句话是一个并列句,由转折连词“but”来连接。前面说的是联合的情况,后面说的是导致分裂的几种因素,题干中的两种因素正是文中所提到的,因此正确答案就是B选项。
