2.考题种类
Types of Questions
Three types of questions may be
asked about a passage:
extended reasoning,
vocabulary-in- context,
literal comprehension.
You will also be asked questions
involving paired long passages
and paragraphs
(1) Extended reasoning questions
• Extended reasoning questions ask you to
draw conclusions from or evaluate the
information in the passage.
• The answers to these questions will not
be directly stated in the passage but can
be inferred from it.
• Extended reasoning questions also ask
about the overall theme or meaning of
the passage and about the purpose,
attitude, or tone of the writer.
(2)Vocabulary-in-Context Questions
• One word can have many meanings. The
•
•
answer choices will often include several
different meanings of the word.
Questions asking for the meaning of a
word or phrase refer to the meaning in
the context in which the word or phrase
is being used in the passage.
It helps to go back to the passage and
reread the surrounding text of the world
that is used. Be sure to read enough of
the context to thoroughly understand the
meaning of the word.
(3)Literal Comprehension Questions
Tips of Literal Comprehension
Questions
• Find the place in the passage where the detail
is discussed.
• Recognize different ways of stating the same
fact or idea.
• Cross out incorrect responses as you eliminate
them.
• Read questions carefully, looking for words
•
such as except, not, and only, and for other
words that describe exactly what you are
asked to do with the information.
Be sure you can support your answer by
referring to words or phrases within the
passage that support it.
(4)Questions Involving Paired Passages
and Paragraphs
• The pair of passages will have a common
theme or subject.
• One of the passages will oppose, support,
or in some way relate to the other. (反对，
支持，或相关)
3. Approaches to Passage-based
Reading Questions
• Keep in mind that the answers come from the
passage.
•Remember, every word counts.
•Read the questions and answers
carefully.
•Don't forget that an answer choice can
be both true and wrong. The correct
choice is the one that best answers the
question, not any choice that makes a
true statement.
Make sure the reading passage
supports your answer.
Try eliminating choices.
Double-check the other choices.
Don't jump from passage to
passage.
