二、 错误选项
错误选项是指和原文意思完全矛盾的选项,相当于判断题中的FALSE/NO,考生往往对于错误选项很容易辩出。
如剑7 Test 4 Passage 3 第29题
题目:Researchers discovered that high noiselevel are not likely to interfere with the
A. successfulperformance of a single task.
B. tasks ofpilots or air traffic controllers.
C. ability torepeat numbers while tracking moving lines.
D. ability tomonitor three dials at once.
原文:But there are limits to adaptation andloud noise becomes more troublesome if the person is required to concentrate onmore than one task. For example, high noise levels interfered with theperformance of subjects who were required to monitor three dials at a time, atask not unlike that of an airplane pilot or an air-traffic controller.Similarly, noise did not affect a subject’s ability to track a moving line witha steering wheel, but it did interfere with the subject’s ability to repeatnumbers while tracking.
题干问的是噪音不太可能会影响的事情,我们通过定位发现原文中写道,“For example, high noise levels interfered with the performance ofsubjects who were required to monitor three dials at a time,a task notunlike that of an airplane pilot or an air-traffic controller”, 即噪音会影响同时操作三个方向盘的人和类似飞行员和空中管制员那样的任务,对应B和D选项的内容,由此可把B和D选项排除。继续往下读,“Similarly, noise did not affect a subject’s ability to track a moving line with asteering wheel, but it did interfere with the subject’s ability to repeat numbers whiletracking.” 可以看出噪音会影响人边驾驶边重复数字的能力,对应C选项排除。其他所有选项都已排除,最终只剩下A选项。作者: 蓝丝巾1 时间: 2016-10-18 13:01 三、未提及选项 选择题中的未提及选项就如同判断题的NOT GIVEN,既有完全未提及选项,也有部分提及选项。
如剑6 Test 4 Passage 3 第31题
31 A recent survey found that in British secondary schools
A there was more bullying than had previously been the case.
B there was less bullying than in primary schools.
C cases of persistent bullying were very common.
D indirect forms of bullying were particularly difficult to deal with.
原文:Bullying can take a variety of forms, from the verbal-being taunted or called hurtful names-to the physical-being kicked or shoved-as well as indirect forms, such as being excluded from social groups. A survey I conducted with Irene Whitney found that in British primary schools up to a quarter of pupils reported experience of bullying, which in about one in ten cases was persistent. There was less bullying in secondary schools, with about one in twenty-five suffering persistent bullying, but these cases may be particularly recalcitrant.
分析:这道题除了正确选项,其他的选项都是陷阱。通过题干定位词,我们可以读到第二句“A survey I conducted with Irene Whitney found that in British primary schools up to a quarter of pupils reported experience of bullying, which in about one in ten cases was persistent.”在此句中,出现了选项C的persistent bullying,但本句中说的是British primary schools, 而非题干中的British secondary schools。继续向下读的时候,我们发现了题干中的British secondary schools,同时该句中也出现了选项C的persistent bullying,但均未出现选项C中所对应的common的意思,因此该选项为部分提及选项。而选项A中的比较关系在原文中根本没有提及,所以选项A即为完全未提及选项。
