1、中心思想题。这类问题主要是测试文章的主题思想。
提问方式有:What is the main idea of the passage? What can we learn from this passage? What is the best title for this passage? What is the passage mainly about? What is the speaker talking about?等等。
2、事实细节题。所考察的细节包括具体时间、地点、主要人物或事件、各种数字等,问题一般为wh-question的形式。
3、对错判定题。这类题常用以下提问方式:Which of the following is true/not true, according to the passage? Which of the following is not mentioned?等等。听到这类题时,一定要听清提问,对于有没有not一词要弄清楚。一般情况下,not一词会重读。
4、推理推测题。这类题需要对文中的信息进行分析推断,才能作出正确的选择。提问方式有:What can be infer from the passage? What does the speaker think about the problem...? What does the speaker most concerned about? How does the writer feel about...?等等。
做这类题时一定要留意与短文内容一样的不是推断,而且一定要根据短文的观点而不是根据自己的观点来推断。
