一、重要性
雅思考试中选择题并不是一个重点考题，但是选择题确实一个必做不可的题目。由于选择题并不需要填写单词，因此对于那些苦于单词拼写的同学，选择题就是他们的救命稻草了。
二、难点及应对
·阅读速度
由于雅思考试需要边听边做，因此在内容开始之前将试卷通读一遍是非常重要的，但是由于考试的时间是有限的(每一个section前只有30秒)，如果当需要读的信息比较多的时候可能没有办法读完。

这边的5题一共有将近200个单词，在短短的30秒钟内全部看完确实有非常大的难度。这时朗阁海外考试研究中心就建议考生要采取“丢车保帅”的方式，也就是抓住中间的最重要的信息，而将其他的次要信息省略不看。对于单选题来说，题干极其重要，往往我们需要通过题干来定位到每一题，我们要记住，雅思考试中答案是按照顺序读出来的，也就是“顺序原则”，所以选择题的答案往往都在题干之后读出来。因此在审题的时候将所有的题干全部过一遍就非常重要了。这也就是我们可以找寻到的第一个方法——略。
