最后,我们来看看NOT GIVEN的判断标准:所需判断的陈述句中在没有错误的前提之下,至少有一个考点词汇文章没有提到相关内容。从表述中可以看出,被判断的命题中,首先不能有错误的成分存在,因为只要出现了错误点,那么该命题就是FALSE/NO了。只有在没有错误点出现的情况下,至少有一个考点文章中没有提到,那么该命题就可以被判断为NOT GIVEN。而在考试中,有一种NOT GIVEN情况很好判断,就是全文没有找到相关内容,那么就可以直接下结论了。看看下面的例子:
Academic Test 1
Reading Passage 1
6.
题干:Girls are more likely than boys to hold mistaken views about the rainforests destruction.
原文:More girls(70%) than boys(60%) raised the idea of rainforest as animal habitats…more girls(13%) than boys(5%) said that rainforests provided human habitats.
分析:从原文的表达中可以找到题干的部分信息Girls are more likely than boys,但是后半部分信息在文章中没有出现,所以该命题为NOT GIVEN。
8.
题干:A second study has been planned to investigate primary school children’s ideas about rainforests.
原文:One encouragement is that the results of similar studies about other environmental issues suggest that older children…
分析:从题干和原文的表述中可以看出,二者并不存在对应关系,所以答案为NOT GIVEN。
Academic Test 2
Reading Passage 2
21.
题干:Alternative therapists earn higher salaries than doctors.
Academic Test 3
Reading Passage 1
10.
题干:In some cases, the families of street children may need financial support from S.K.I.
原文:There are tremendous advantages to involving parents or guardians in the program……
从这些例子中可以看出,在判断中,只要命题中没有错误信息出现,而同时又有考点在文章中找不到匹配的信息,那么该命题的答案就是NOT GIVEN。
