做雅思閱讀 記雅思單詞：Multiple Choice Question

　　做MATCHING 題目時，最重要的一點就是找到關(guān)鍵詞。拿到一篇文章后，首先瀏覽文章標題，然后把題目中列出的關(guān)鍵詞逐個找到，并將該詞所在的句子用線劃出。然后，我們就可以根據(jù)劃線句子的意思與問題給出的備選項進行對照，意思相近或相符的那一句就應(yīng)該是正確答案。發(fā)現(xiàn)兩個句子意思相近或相符的關(guān)鍵是找原句中的同義詞或近義詞，這樣就可大大減少閱讀量，從而能在較短的時間內(nèi)找到答案。如果答案不能在出現(xiàn)關(guān)鍵詞的句子中找到，就應(yīng)從該句的上下文中去尋找答案。還有些時候，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)關(guān)鍵詞在好幾個句子中都出現(xiàn)了。這時，你可以將這幾個句子都劃出來，與備選項中的句子逐個對照，意思相近的就是正確選項。

　　還有一個需要注意的問題是，每選定一個答案后，應(yīng)把已選好的選項用線劃掉，以免影響后面的判斷。

　　下面，我們就以下文為例具體進行分析。

　　Geophysics For Utility Location:

　　When It Works - When It Wont

　　Utility companies, construction projects, and highway contractors are often faced with the need to excavate or pipe-jack in the vicinity of known or suspected buried utility lines, drains, or other subsurface structures. In many cases, particularly where they are adjacent to highways, the lateral position of the lines may be documented with reasonable accuracy, but the vertical position, or burial depth, may be uncertain due to changes in grade caused by construction or maintenance performed after the pipes were buried.

　　One way to verify the location of such buried objects is to cautiously dig a trial pit to expose the object in question. However, digging such a pit in or close to a highway is costly because of the need for traffic control, and subsequent reinstatement of the surface to meet the original specification. There is also a substantial risk of accident and personal injury, partly due to the disruption caused to the highway traffic, and partly due to the nature of the work. Where mechanical digging equipment is used, an undocumented or misaligned utility line can easily be damaged if the excavation workers do not observe it. Gas and electricity lines present very obvious safety threats in this situation.

　　These factors have caused utility engineers and contractors to search for alternative methods to locate subsurface structures, often with mixed success. There are several geophysical techniques with proven capabilities in non-intrusive subsurface investigation, but there are less publicized limitations to these methods that potential specifies and users should be aware of if they are to avoid inconclusive or misleading survey reports.

　　Practical Near-Surface Techniques

　　The real driving force behind the development of geophysical survey methods was the search for oil and other valuable mineral deposits. The earlier methods were therefore primarily focused on the detection and identification of relatively large geological formations at depths that were typically measured in several hundreds of feet. Such methods do not have the resolution to detect small objects, such as pipelines and cables, buried only a few feet deep.
