匹配题巧解
一、
谨记：一般没必要知道文章段落
主旨（但有时候个别句子会
考查考生掌握文章主
旨的能力
）
，考察的大多都是细节
,
同义重现
,
定位准确即可。不要做二次推论。做这类题
目时一定要仔细阅读句子和
4
段文章的
关键部分，尤其注意
形容词和副词
，这常常是判断
一个很难决定归属的句子该归于哪篇文章的重要依据。此外，考生还应注意以下几点：
1.
缩小寻找范围
：首先看
清楚、读懂
7
个句子，之后找到它们所涉及的内容在文中的
位置，这样可以减少阅读量，节省时间。
2.
注意字句的形式变化
：在文章中寻找答案的难度很大程度上
取决于考生对字句的形
式变化的认识能力。需要注意三种形式：第一种是
同义、相同的词或词组
；第二种是
近义、
相似的词
；
第三种是
同义、
有很大差异的词或词组
。
如：
department
stores
＝
department stores
（第一类）
：
joined
by=linked
by
（第二类）
：
walkways
above
and
below
the
ground
＝
over-the-
street crossings and underground
walkways
（第三类）
二、不同的匹配类型
1.
陈述对应段落中的
1
句话，简单匹配，常见题<
/p>
2.
陈述对应段落中的相邻
2
～
3
句话，简单推论
，较少
3.
陈述对应几乎整个段落的内容，复杂结论，罕见
三、解题步骤：
1
< br>、阅读题目及七个单句，划出句意关键词。
对于谈论相
似主体的句子，
区别内容的相同处和不同处，
注意体现不
同处的关键词
关键词：（定位词）

Too often we accuse

a long
meeting
will know how hard it is to
remember - despite the
benefit of notes
- exactly what everyone said. But success depends
on
getting things right - and that
means listening.

However, if you

The most

we have is to start
thinking of

before
the

speaker has finished.

We then stop listening. Even worse,
this often
adds rudeness to
inattentiveness

decided what to say
there is a fair
chance you will interrupt to say it.
Good listeners don't
interrupt

In

it

that you have listened well.

It's
