探討雅思閱讀判斷題的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
雅思學(xué)術(shù)類考試作為準(zhǔn)備出國學(xué)習(xí)的一項成績,在很多學(xué)子的出國路上造成了不小的障礙。而閱讀部分一大難點是其變化多端、紛繁復(fù)雜的題型。這些題型粗粗的算來可以分為九大類:標(biāo)題對應(yīng)題、真假判斷題、總結(jié)題、簡答題、句子完成題、圖表填空題、配對題、選擇題、流程圖題。在這些題型當(dāng)中,真假判斷題占到了將近50%。所以判斷題做得好壞直接決定了考生在閱讀上的成績。
在是非無判斷題的考試中,考生要對試卷上所列出的一系列命題進(jìn)行判斷。如果這些陳述句是反映觀點或者態(tài)度的,那么考生的任務(wù)就是判斷這些句子是否和作者的觀點一致。在這種情況下,答案的選擇是YES,NO或者是NOT GIVEN。如果這些陳述句表述的內(nèi)容是有關(guān)事實信息,那么考生就要判斷這些句子是否和文中的信息一致。在這種情況下,答案的選擇是TRUE,FALSE或者是NOT GIVEN。這里要特別說明的是在考試中YES,NO,NOT GIVEN和TRUE,FALSE,NOT GIVEN只是考試形式的區(qū)別,在判斷方式上并沒有本質(zhì)區(qū)別。
那么,我們需要拿什么標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來判斷我們的命題是否正確呢?現(xiàn)在有很多不同的說法,在多年的教學(xué)經(jīng)驗的基礎(chǔ)上,我總結(jié)出了這樣的標(biāo)準(zhǔn):
TRUE或YES:所需判斷的陳述句中所有的考點詞匯和原文中的表達(dá)完全對應(yīng)。
FALSE或NO:所需判斷的陳述句中至少有一個考點詞匯和原文中的表達(dá)想矛盾。
NOT GIVEN:所需判斷的陳述句中在沒有錯誤的前提之下,至少有一個考點詞匯文章沒有提到相關(guān)內(nèi)容。
用表格的形式表述如下:
下面結(jié)合劍橋雅思4上面的具體題目來講解一下我的判斷標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
首先來解釋TRUE/YES的標(biāo)準(zhǔn):所需判斷的陳述句中所有的考點詞匯和原文中的表達(dá)完全對應(yīng)。從表述中可以看出,正確的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是唯一性的,只有在全部考點都正確的情況下,該命題才能被判斷為TRUE/YES。

從這些例子中可以看出,所有被判斷為正確的陳述表達(dá)無一例外的都和文章中的考點表達(dá)存在一一對應(yīng)的關(guān)系。
接下來,來看看FALSE / NO的判斷標(biāo)準(zhǔn):所需判斷的陳述句中至少有一個考點詞匯和原文中的表達(dá)想矛盾。無論其他的考點是什么結(jié)論,只需要其中有一個考點是錯誤的,那么這個命題的答案就是錯誤的。
