雅思阅读之段落主旨配对题的解题策略-晋篇

2) 逻辑关系做题：转折处原则

这种情况往往伴随着一些逻辑关系词的出现，如 while, despite, although, however, instead, rather, but, yet 等词。

例 2  ( 剑 6 Test1 passage3)

While the Inuit may not actually starve if hunting and trapping are curtailed by climate change, there has certainly been an impact on people’s health. Obesity, heart disease and diabetes are beginning to appear in a people for whom these have never before been problems. There has been a crisis of identity as the traditional skills of hunting, trapping and preparing skins have begun to disappear. In Nunavut’s igloo and email society, where *s who were born in igloos have children who may never have been out on the land, there’s a high incidence of depression.

Answer:  Negative effects on well-being

在如上的段落中我们根据假设法 , 可以判断主旨在 while 引导的句子的主干当中，即 there has certainly been an impact on people’s health. 其后的句子都是来说明 impact on health. 如 obesity, diabetes, high incidence of depression 等词都能说明这一点。

再如：例 3 ( 剑 6 Test 2 passage 1)

It was once assumed that improvements in telecommunications would lead to more dispersal in the population as people were no longer forced into cities. However, the ISTP team’s research demonstrates that the population and job density of cities rose or remained constant in the 1980s after decades of decline. The explanation for this seems to be that it is valuable to place people working in related fields together. ‘The new world will largely depend on human creativity and creativity flourished where people come together face-to-face.

Answer: The benefit of working together.

这一段如果按照常规思路做题，会认为句便是中心句，容易误选 the impact of telecommunication on population distribution 这个标题。然而，在此段落中一个明显的转折词 however 出现， 使 topic 从句的 improvements in telecommunication 转向 research demonstrates 即研究显示的内容， 这是属于事实，对于事实后的本质问题在接下来的一句话里充分体现， valuable to place people working together. 所以这段的中心在这一句得以体现。
