雅思阅读判断题技巧

　　判断题的出题方式是给出若干个题目(陈述句)，要求考生根据文章所给的信息对每个题目作出判断。如果题目内容与文章内容一致，则选TRUE / YES;如果题目内容与文章内容相抵触，则选FALSE / NO;如果题目内容在文章中并没有提及，则选NOT GIVEN,判断题是雅思阅读A类考试中难度较大的一种题型。在Cambridge IELTS 8的160道A类阅读题目中，有39道是判断题，占近1/4的比例。所以，考生应特别重视这种题型。

　　答题步骤

　　(1)画出题目中的关键词，然后根据关键词比较好先定位到文章中的一个段落，也就是把题目中的关键词与文章各段落的小标题或每段的第一句话相对照。先把题目定位到文章中的一个段落，这将大大加快解题的速度，并提高答案的准确率。

　　(2)快速阅读该段落。即根据题目中的关键词，在该段落中找出与题目相关的句子。也就是说，确定一个段落后，答案在该段落中的具体位置可能是未知的，所以，需要从头到尾快速阅读该段落，找出该段落中与题目相关的一句或几句话(通常是一句话)。

　　(3)仔细阅读这一句或几句话，再结合题目，确定正确答案。

过往真题

　　Striking Back at lightning with Lasers

　　A stumbling block

　　However, there is still a big stumbling block. The laser is no nifty portable: it's a monster that takes up a whole room. Diels is trying to cut down the size and says that a laser around the size of a small table is in the offing. He plans to test this more manageable system on live thunderclouds next summer.

　　Bernstein says that Diels's system is attracting lots of interest from the power companies.But they have not yet come up with the $5 million that EPRI says will be needed to develop a commercial system, by making the lasers yet smaller and cheaper. "I can not say I have money yet, but I'm working on it," says Bernstein. He reckons that the forthcoming field tests will be the turning point-and he's hoping for good news.Bernstein predicts an avalanche of interest and support' if all goes well. He expects to see cloud-zappers eventually costing $50,000 to $100,000 each.

　　Other scientists could also benefit. With a lightning "switch" at their fingertips, materials scientists could find out what happens when mighty currents meet matter. Diels also hopes to see the birth of "interactive meteorology"-not just forecasting the weather but controlling it. "If we could discharge clouds, we might affect the weather," he says.

　　And perhaps, says Diels, we'll be able to confront some other meteorological menaces."We think we could prevent hail by inducing lightning," he says. Thunder, the shockwave that comes from a lightning flash, is thought to be the trigger for the torrential rainthat is typical of storms. A laser thunder factory could shake the moisture out of clouds,perhaps preventing the formation of the giant hailstones that threaten crops. With luck,as the storm clouds gather this winter, laser-toting researchers could, for the first time,strike back.
