一、雅思阅读人名观点搭配题的答题要点
(1)人名观点搭配题考察方向多为某人的观点、研究成果、言论和评论等。由此我们可以判断,这种题答案的分布应该在以下几个地方。a. 直接引语。我们可以重点看人名后面引号里的内容;b. 宾语从句。常见形式为:某人+thinks/says/believes/ argues/admits…+從句;c. 人称代词。看到人称代词应当继续往上看文章内容,找到离人称代词最近的人名,确定选项。常见形式为:He/she thinks/says/insists/believes/argues/admits…+that从句。(2)文中找人名的时候一定要带着所有人名从头至尾浏览一次找完,人名大多会多次出现,要仔细认真寻找,并作出标记。
二、雅思阅读人名观点搭配题的答题步骤
(1)首先要认真读题,看题目要求中是否出现 NB;(2)快速浏览题目中的观点或者评论内容,并在其中划出关键词,观察题目中是否出现否定词、比较级、极端意义词等,如果有的话,可以标出来作为关键信息;(3)在浏览文章的时候,要快速划出人名并在旁边标注选项符号(A、B、C等)因为本题型属于乱序,因此不管先出现哪个人名或者题目的答案,我们都不必在意,只需按着文章的顺序去找人就行;(4)确定答题顺序。浏览完全文,标出人名选项后,我们可以了解到哪些人出现次数多,哪些出现次数少,甚至有的人只出现一次。那么,这个时候,我们应当从只出现一次的人看起,只有一次,观点也只有一个,那么很容易选出答案;(5)关键词对应,原文及题目的关键词对应,选出正确答案。
三、例题解析
A. Uganda may be one of the worlds poorest countries,but it has been blessed with a climate that is almost perfect. With sunshine going spare, one Ugandan electrician, Fred Kajubi,believes he has the solution to the countrys power shortage—low-tech solar panels that can run anything from a radio to a mobile phone.B.The materials for the solar panels come from a company in Britain called BioDesign, set up five years ago by a retired inventor, Graham Knight. After seeing a TV programme on the invention of a radio powered by clockwork, Mr Knight decided that in some parts of the world, solar power would be a more effective energy resource for radios and similar everyday equipment. He set up a firm to make the components for low-cost solar panels for use in Africa and South America. C. Even the World Bank, often criticized for being obsessed with large-scale power projects, recognises that there is place for solar power. According to a World Bank representative, solar power can be an effective complement to grid-based electricity, which is often too costly for sparsely settled and remote areas.
