Based on the information in。。。
例如:
Reading Passage
Based on the information in paragraph 1; which of the following best explains the term wind farms?
Farms using windmills to pump water
Research centers exploring the uses of wind
Types of power plant mon in North Dakota
Collections of wind turbines producing electric power
In 1994 there were nearly 20;000 wind turbines worldwide; most grouped in clusters called wind farms that collectively produced 3;000 megawatts of electricity。 Most were in Denmark (which got 3 percent of its electricity from wind turbines) and California (where 17;000 machines produced 1 percent of the state’s electricity; enough to meet the residential needs of a city as large as San Francisco)。 In principle; all the power needs of the United States could be provided by exploiting the wind potential of just three states — North Dakota; South Dakota; and Texas。
根据题干中的paragraph 1和wind farms这两个信息,我们可以快速定位到原文第一段的相应内容:In 1994 there were nearly 20;000 wind turbines worldwide; most grouped in clusters called wind farms that collectively produced 3;000 megawatts of electricity。 从这句话中可以得知wind turbines grouped in clusters 即是文中提问的wind farm,所以选第4项。
除了事实信息题和否定排除题以外,在做图表题时也需要利用查找定位的方法,回到原文中寻找答案。
2。 推论题
对于推论题(Inference)这类在文中没有直接表达的问题,可以根据文中陈述的已知信息推断出来。通常这类问题会以这样的形式提问:
What can be inferred from the passage?
比如下面的例子:
