实际做题:当听到300 sites 以及Italy 等信息后可以定位做题位置
原文:In Italy we now have some 64 sites that we either own, or have exclusive use of 。 France is where we have the majority of sites, and we currently have a project to expand into Switzerland.
解题:不难发现majority 和most 之间存在同义转换,故答案为A。
例3 剑2 Test 3 Q 31
The driest continent is
A Australia
B Africa
C Antarctica
思路透析:题干中有driest 这个最高级,要高度注意比较关系的同义转换。
实际做题:听到Australia 后确定做题位置。
原文: As I have said, Australia is a dry continent, second only to Antarctica in its lack of rainfall.
解题:不难发现答案是C,但值得我们注意的是,second only to 是一种特殊的比较表达方式。
第二类:间接比较
例4 剑3 Test 1 Q 32
According to the speaker, the main cause of back pain in women is
A pregnancy
B osteoporosis
C lack of exercise
思路透析:在审题中发现有main cause 这样的间接比较提示词,那此题很显然要列出几个造成女性背疼的原因,但是要进行对比得出谁是主要原因。
实际做题:听到women 就确定了做题位置。
原文:The majority of our patients at the clinic tend to be women. They are especially vulnerable because of pregnancy but also because of osteoprosis, which I personally believe to be the major cause of problems for women.
解题:在原文中我们不难发现pregnancy 和 osteoprosis 是并列出现的,但是后者紧跟着就是一个非限定性的定语从句,指出后者是major cause,也就是main cause的同义转换,故答案为B。
