例3:
原文:Formed in 1903 by the political campaigner Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Christabel and Sylvis, the WSPU began an educated campaign to put women’s suffrage on the political agenda. New Zealand, Australia and parts of the United States women, and growing numbers of their British counterparts wanted the same opportunity
题目:(In 1903) (women in New Zealand) [were still not allowed to vote]
分析:从题目入手,发现题目有可能考查3个考点:时间状语In 1903,主语women in New Zealand,谓语were still not allowed to vote。这3个可能的考点题目到底考查的是哪一个呢?我们把它们和原文信息做比较。原文中有New Zealand也有women,所以原文和题目的主语是一致的,肯定为隐性考点,用 ( ) 标出。时间状语In 1903原文和题目也一致,为隐性考点,用 ( ) 标出。再来看谓语,题目是were still not allowed to vote,原文是had already enfranchised women,原文中的enfranchised这个及物动词明显是一个生词,该如何判断呢?如我们前面分析过的,雅思中的是非题考查的是方向性,而不是精确性,所以我们只要能够得出这两个谓语判断的方向就可以了。通过原文说:“New Zealand, Australia and parts of the United States had already enfranchised women, and growing numbers of their British counterparts wanted the same opportunity.” 可知had already enfranchised women这个谓语是一个正向的判断,因为如果新西兰对于妇女选举权问题的态度是负向的话,那么英国的妇女是不可能也想要相同的机会的。而题目中的were still not allowed to vote明显表明妇女仍然不被允许投票,方向为负。此时,我们可以得出题目设置的考点应该是在谓语上,原文与题目的考点方向相反,答案当然为FALSE。而如果你知道enfranchise这个词的意思是“给予……选举权”的话,就可以猜出题目在设置的时候只是将原文中的谓语动词enfranchise改成了它的反义形式were still not allowed to vote而已,考点当然在谓语上。
