有些题日以wh-开头,它们看似是细节题,但是答案短时间内又不能在原文找到某句细节作依据。遇到这种题目时,可选择与文章主题关系最密切的选项。
【例5】
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement-jobs, research papers, awards-was viewed through the lens of gender politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus right brain, or nature versus nurture , I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Q: What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research? [2007.6/T59]
A) Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurture.
B) Peoples stereotyped attitude towards female scientists.
C) Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.
D) Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.
【解析】原文没有任何一句话直接与题干相关,因此近义改写是解行不通。这时,本锦囊就显得特别有效。上文在原文中是第2段,从首段开始就可以知道文章的主题与性别歧视问题有关,根据这个主题筛选选项,就能发现选项B与该主题关系最密切。其中stereotyped attitude towards female是对性别歧视的另一种表述。这样,即使问题与答案难以定位,抓住了文章主题,就可以确定选项B是本题答案。 [答案:B]
