一文学会!DET“选择原文大意”全解析

  大家好,本期继续来多邻国英语测试中Interactive Reading(互动阅读)类题型的详细解读。今天介绍的题型是Identify the Idea(选择全文大意),剩余题型将在后续推出。

 

  题型简介

  Identify the Idea(选择全文大意)是Interactive Reading中的第5个题型,考察的是阅读能力,每次考试可能出现2道这样的题目。考试形式为单选题,通常为4选1,评分标准为非错即对,答错不得分也不倒扣分。此外,再次提醒大家,一旦点击“NEXT”按钮,将无法回看或修改答案。因此,在做出选择之前,请确保答案经过深思熟虑。

 

  思路和解题步骤

  Identify the Idea题目比较简单,大部分情况下错误选项中都包含有文中未出现的内容或者是与文中意思相反的内容。正确选项通常和原文内容极其相似。

  鉴于Identify the Idea(选择全文大意)是Interactive Reading中的第5个题型,通常考到这里时,考生已经读过3-4遍文章了,对文章应该有大概的了解,所以这里建议带着选项去文中找答案而不是先读文章。

  第一步:分别理清每个选项中的关键词。

  第二步:找到文中对应关键词的部分做比对,意思不符即为错误答案,反之为正确答案。(意思不符可以理解为:以偏概全,无中生有,张冠李戴,绝对化等等)。

 

  真题及解析

  As soon as Bev realized how much she loved animals,she took a job at a pet store,She started out working with fish and reptiles before she moved to the bird department.She loved birds so much that she ended up buying a bird from the store.She had things professionally made for her bird because she wanted to make sure it would be safe and comfortable.it had a cage that was designed especially for it and,when she wasn't at work,it was on her shoulder or on her head.She loved her bird and loved being able to work with birds at her job.

  Select the idea that is expressed in the passage:

  a)Bev has been working with animals her whole life.

  b)Bev was a child when she first visited a pet store.

  c)Bev loved animals so much that she took a job at a pet store.

  d)Bev was an animal lover and wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up.

  真题解析:本题选C

  通读整段文字,可以发现这是关于Bev和她对动物尤其是鸟类的热爱的故事。

  文章的开头提到Bev意识到她多么爱动物后,就在宠物店找到了工作。结尾描述了她如何爱她的鸟以及她的工作。

  文中关键词包括“loved animals”,“took a job at a pet store”,“loved birds”,这些词组突出了Bev对动物的爱和她在宠物店的工作。

  a)第一步找到文中关键内容,"Bev has been working with animals her whole life.";第二步带入关键内容到文章后发现文章中没有提到Bev一生都在与动物一起工作,只提到了她意识到对动物的爱后找了宠物店的工作。

  b)第一步找到文中关键内容,"Bev was a child when she first visited a pet store.";第二步带入关键内容到文章后发现文章中没有提到Bev第一次访问宠物店时是孩子。

  d)第一步找到文中关键内容,"wanted to be a veterinarian";第二步带入关键内容到文章后发现虽然Bev爱动物,但文章中没有提到她想成为兽医。

  根据上述分析,选项C"Bev loved animals so much that she took a job at a pet store."是最符合文章主旨的,因为它直接描述了Bev对动物的热爱以及这是她选择在宠物店工作的原因。其他选项要么提供了文章中未提及的信息,要么与文章的主旨不符。因此,正确答案是C。
