根据历年的考试经验,雅思阅读中的数字通常都会成为最理想的关键词之一,为大家举例说明.
举例: 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.
由题目中出现的数字40,000 可以定位到原文中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), 再由题目分析得知:所需答案为可数名词,并且是Johnson 在编撰词典的工作中不具备的(did not … available),而文中括号里‘without a library to hand’正好契合了该信息点,还有a 这个信号词进一步确定,答案就非它莫属了:library.
在雅思阅读题中,数字的出现会非常的显眼,这也会让我们在做题时能够快速的找到出题点,做题的速度与正确率需要在平时的训练中逐渐练习.
