实际做题:原文:We also pride ourselves on our friendly service, particularly important for the increasing numbers of people who choose to holiday alone. Unlike almost all travel operators who happily charge large supplements for single room, we guarantee that no single client will pay more, even when only double rooms are available for them.
解题:unlike一句表示与其他旅行机构进行对比,我们保证不多收钱,注意这里pay more 前面有否定词no,这样会加大反应和解题的难度,多数学员听到pay more就去选择B了,这样很可惜。Even一句更是强调了无论什么情况都不加钱,排除C。正确答案为A 。
例8 剑6 Test 4 Q 34
Very few African lions have
A a long mane
B a coat with varied colours
C a fold of skin on their stomach
思路透析:虽然题干与选项中都没有明显的比较关系,但是纵观上下题目即可发现,本文重点讲的就是Asiatic lions 和 African lions 的对比。
实际做题:原文:The colour is more or less the same, but the appearance of the mane is different-that’s the hair around the lion’s face and neck. The Asiatic lion’s mane is noticeably shorter than the African lion’s. Asiatic lions also have a long fold of skin on their undersides, whereas not many African lions have that.
解题:颜色more or less the same,故排除B。African lion 的mane比Asiatic的长,排除A。通过最后一句转折中的not many 与few 形成同意转换得到答案C。此题难点在于比较的主体两种狮子的前后顺序变化要注意,并且题干中本身带有few这样的否定词汇,又增加了难度。
总结:其实我们不难发现,在这三类中,第一类直接比较的题目还是最容易解答的,只要听准同样的比较表达方式,答案很容易得到;第二类间接比较的题目也不是太难,关键在于掌握major,majority,main,mainly等提示词并注意它们之间互相同意转换即可;第三类隐含比较还是比较难的,因为题干里虽然无比较,但是选项里有比较的特点,而且实际听力中又容易出现否定词搭配比较表达出现的形式,使学生的反映时间和速度受到极大的影响,大大降低了解题正确率。请广大“烤鸭”们一定要耐心总结,戳穿选择题中的比较考查特点,做到明明白白,有的放矢!
