雅思考试阅读的单选题

　　2 单选难点：1 对词汇量要求大。2 考长难句分析。大家先看主干，主干不能解题再看其他内容来解题。3 考逻辑，语言归纳总结。

　　3 单选题考点有哪些：

　　结论题：findings indicate that找结论(答案一般在这段最后)例证题：某例子或者某个引用,作者提到...说明什么观点,如the writer refers to a shape-matching test in order to illustrate或者The writer refers to the paintings of a chair as an example of computer art which (答案在例子前面)

　　4 单选题做题建议： 4.1不要一次性看完全部题干，看一道题去看原文就行。

　　4.2 一定要既看定位，又看考点, 如果只看定位就回到原文去找，你会浪费很多时间，你得知道人家考你啥。

　　例子：剑11test2passage3

　　28. Angelina Hawley-Dolan's findings indicate that peopleA. mostly favour works of art which they know well.B. hold fixed ideas about what makes a good work of art.C. are often misled by their initial expectations of a work of art.D. have the ability to perceive the intention behind works of art.

　　这道题的定位：Angelina Hawley-Dolan 考点：findings indicate答案是D，这道题真正的出题句是最后这句话，因为让你找的是结果，大概率也是在偏后面的位置。It seems that the viewer can sense the artist's vision in paintings, even if they can't explain why.有同学觉得中间这句话是出题句volunteers might think they were viewing a chimp's messy brushstrokes when they were actually seeing an acclaimed masterpiece.因为看到了might think，但主语是volunteers，那就不对哦。

　　原文：Angelina Hawley-Dolan, of Boston College, Massachusetts, responded to this debate by asking volunteers to view pairs of paintings - either the creations of famous abstract artists or the doodles of infants, chimps and elephants. They then had to judge which they preferred. A third of the paintings were given no captions, while many were labelled incorrectly - volunteers might think they were viewing a chimp's messy brushstrokes when they were actually seeing an acclaimed masterpiece. In each set of trials, volunteers generally preferred the work of renowned artists, even when they believed it was by an animal or a child. It seems that the viewer can sense the artist's vision in paintings, even if they can't explain why.

　　4.3 不要先看下面的四个选项，会浪费时间，而且记不住。找到有考点的出题句之后再看题干。

　　例子：剑10-1-330 In the last paragraph, the writer suggests that it is important for employees to A be aware of their company's goals. B feel that their contributions are valued. C have respect for the ir co-workers' achievements.D understand why cerain management decisions are made.

　　答案是B，看完四个选项，反而会定位错句子，定位成了‘Leaders should encourage everyone to contribute and simultaneously assure all concerned that every recommendation is important to making the right decision and will be given full attention.’ 很多人看到这里直接选了D选项，因为都有decision。其实这是个干扰项。

　　原文：

　　Many theorists believe the ideal boss should lead from behind, taking pride in collective accomplishment and giving credit where it is due. Cialdini says: ‘Leaders should encourage everyone to contribute and simultaneously assure all concerned that every recommendation is important to making the right decision and will be given full attention.’ The frustrating thing about innovation is that there are many approaches, but no magic formula. However, a manager who wants to create a truly innovative culture can make their job a lot easier by recognising these psychological realities.

　　5 其他单选题解题例子例子：剑5-1-334 The writer quotes from the Worldwide Fund for Nature to illustrate howA influential the mass media can be.B effective environmental groups can be. Cthe mass media can help groups raise funds.D environmental groups can exaggerate their claims.

　　答案D，定位：Worldwide Fund for Nature， 考点：观点，因为题干是在问作者引用例子是为了说明。根据定位词，定位到了In 1997, for example, the World Wide Fund for Nature issued a press release entitled : 'Two thirds of the world's forests lost forever'.一般在写作里面会先说观点再说例子，所以答案应该在前面。再看上一句Understandably, perhaps, they sometimes overstate their arguments.这么看答案就是D，提到了夸大观点。

　　原文：

　　Secondly，environmental groups need to be noticed by the mass media. They also need to keep the money rolling in. Understandably, perhaps, they sometimes overstate their arguments. In 1997, for example, the World Wide Fund for Nature issued a press release entitled : 'Two thirds of the world's forests lost forever'. The truth turns out to be nearer 20%.

　　27 In the second paragraph, the writer refers to a shape-matching test in order to illustrateA the subjective nature of art appreciation.B the reliance of modern art on abstract forms. C our tendency to be influenced by the opinions of others.D a common problem encountered when processing visual data.

　　答案：C定位词：a shape-matching test ，考点：例子证明什么观点，定位到了When asked to make simple perceptual decisions such as matching a shape to its rotated image, for example, people often choose a definitively wrong answer if they see others doing the same. 因为是找观点嘛，所以看前面那句话We certainly do have an inclination to follow the crowd. 对应的答案就是C

　　原文：

　　Could the same approach also shed light on abstract twentieth-century pieces, from Mondrian's geometrical blocks of colour, to Pollock's seemingly haphazardarrangements of splashed paint on canvas? Sceptics believe that people claim to like such works simply because they are famous. We certainly do have an inclination to follow the crowd. When asked to make simple perceptual decisions such as matching a shape to its rotated image, for example, people often choose a definitively wrong answer if they see others doing the same. It is easy to imagine that this mentality would have even more impact on a fuzzy concept like art appreciation, where there is no right or wrong answer.

　　例子：剑13-1-3

　　31 The writer refers to the paintings of a chair as an example of computer art which A achieves a particularly striking effect.B exhibits a certain level of genuine artistic skill. C closely resembles that of a well-known artist.D highlights the technical limitations of the software.

　　答案：A

　　定位词：paintings of a chair 考点：例子证明什么观点定位到了 Some of the Painting Fool's paintings of a chair came out in black and white, thanks to a technical glitch. 找观点看前面的句子 Software bugs can also lead to unexpected results. 很多人会误以为选D，因为看到了Software bugs，对应了D 选项的 technical limitations of the software以偏概全了。但这句话在强调结果lead to unexpected results，对应A才对

　　对应原文：　Simon Colton, the designer of the Painting Fool, is keen to make sure his creation doesn't attract the same criticism. Unlike earlier 'artists' such as Aaron, the Painting Fool only needs minimal direction and can come up with its own concepts by going online for material. The software runs its own web searches and trawls through social media sites. It is now beginning to display a kind of imagination too, creating pictures from scratch. One of its original works is a series of fuzzy landscapes, depicting trees and sky. While some might say they have a mechanical look, Colton argues that such reactions arise from people's double standards towards software-produced and human-produced art. After all, he says, consider that the Painting Fool painted the landscapes without referring to a photo. 'If a child painted a new scene from its head, you'd say it has a certain level of imagination, ' he points out. 'The same should be true of a machine.' Software bugs can also lead to unexpected results. Some of the Painting Fool's paintings of a chair came out in black and white, thanks to a technical glitch. This gives the work an eerie, ghostlike quality. Human artists like the renowned Ellsworth Kelly are lauded for limiting their colour palette - so why should computers be any different?
