11天搞定雅思阅读- Day 3 IELTS True False Not Given

【跟着沪江走，高分在招手】·【雅思备考·阅读篇】

学习目标：学习回答雅思班判断题。

与一般的判断题不同，雅思考试中还会出现Not Given 这个选项。做题的方法其实很简单，无非就是判断已给内容的真假或者没有涉及。在做题之前，有几个区分原则是一定要遵循的：

1：中出现的原题一定是正确的，这不是在做阅读题，不用考虑很多哦~

2：不要主观认为是错误的就选F，错误的一定是在答案中出现了明显的文章相反的语意。

3：同样，如果没有讲到的就选Not Given，千万不要主观臆断。

接下来，小编先来帮大家整理一下做题之前的必知事项吧！

Strategies to answer the questions：

• 和阅读题一样判断题的题目顺序也是与文章顺序是一致的。

• 做出判断之前一定要好好读懂题意，很多意外都是不认真导致的。

• 找出问题的关键词，然后到文中寻找关键词出现的地方，好好研究上下文。

• 问题中很少出现文章的原词，大部分情况都是同义词替代。

• 注意类似“only”, “all’, “never”的关键词。只要在这些词上面发生的词义转变几乎都是错的。

• 如果有些题很长时间都找不到对应的答案，那么先选择NG不要在一道题上浪费太多时间。

Example

来看一个例子：这句话是之后会做到完整题目的节选：

Chiles originate in South America and have been eaten for at least 9,500 years.

看一下与之相关的三句话，想一想你会怎样判断。

1. Chiles come from South America .

2. People began eating Chiles in the last few centuries .

3. South Americans were the first people to start eating Chiles .

第一句话很明显是正确的，因为只是简单的运用了同义词的转化，'come from'替换了'originates'。

第二句也很明显是错的，虽然在时间上做了模糊处理，但是还是与文中说的时间相差甚远。

第三句话虽然是正常逻辑可以推断出来的，但是文中并没有明确说明，所以不能妄加猜测，也许事情真的就没有按照正常的逻辑发生。

接下来，我们来看一下文章全文，来做些练习吧，请将题目在原文出现的地方标黄！答案及精讲在下面的链接里哦！

Chilies

Chiles originate in South America and have been eaten for at least 9,500 years. Organised cultivation began around 5,400BC. Christopher Columbus was the first European to encounter chilies, when he landed on the island of Hispaniola in 1492. He thought it was a type of pepper and called it the “red pepper”, a name still used today. After their introduction to Europe they were an immediate sensation and were quickly incorporated into the diet. From there they spread to Africa, India and East Asia.

The reason for the chili’s “hotness” lies in a chemical called Capsaisin. Capsaisin causes temporary irritation to the trigeminal cells, which are the pain receptors in the mouth, nose and throat. After the pain messages are transmitted to the brain, endorphins, natural pain killers, are released and these not only kill the pain but give the chili eater a short lived natural high. Other side effects include: an increased heart rate, a running nose and increased salivation and sweating, which can have a cooling effect in hot climates.

The reason for the presence of Capsaisin is thought to be to deter animals from eating the fruit. Only mammals feel the burning effects; birds feel nothing. As birds are a better method of distributing the seeds, which pass intact through their guts, Capsaisin would seem to be a result of natural selection.

The smaller chilies tend to be the hottest. This may reflect the fact that they tend to grow closer to the ground and are therefore more vulnerable to animals. The heat of a chili is measured on the Scoville scale. The hottest types such as the Habenero and the Scotch Bonnet rate between 100,000 and 300,000, the world famous Tabasco sauceÒ rates at 15,000 to 30,000, about the same as the Thai prik khee nu, while the popular Jalapeno is between 5,000 and 15,000. Powdered chili is 500 to 1,000 and the mild capsicins and paprikas can range between 100 and 0.

Chilies became popular as soon as they were brought into Europe.

Question 2

Question 3
