第 7 课 · 阅读 · 方法与真题(Palm oil)

① 本课题型(Palm oil 棕榈油)

题号题型打法
14–20Which section contains the following information?(A–H 段落信息匹配)先看题干关键词,回文找"哪一段讲了这件事"
21–22Choose TWO letters(A–E)多选:选两个,错一个就丢分
23–26Complete the sentences:NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS填空:先删修饰,找出主干

② 三步法(板书)

  1. 先找动词(句子的心脏在哪);
  2. 概括出来简单中文意思;
  3. 双向猜测(题干 → 文章,文章 → 题干)。

另外一条:不知道的单词,用英语读出来——声音对了,答案常常就浮出来。

③ 猜出题人的心态

  • 爱出题的地方:专有名词(机构名)、新鲜的技术大写词;
  • 句子层面:极端值(most / only / all)、倒装句however 转折问句;
  • 问句—回答型(反问 / why 引导)100% 出答案;最高级和副词也是信号词。

④ 逐题定位(14–20)

题干关键定位线索 / 板书批注
14examples of a range of potential environmental advantages of palm tree cultivation找"好处"并列出现的地方
15description of an organisation which controls the environmental impact of palm oil productioncontrols the environmental impact = RSPO(一个机构)
16the most consumed…消费最多(最高级 = 信号词)
17examples of the widespread global use of palm oilsoap / 日用品那一串
18reference to a particular species which could … of oil palm plantations某个具体物种
19figures illustrating the rapid expansion of the palm industry从少变多:6 千万吨 / from 2 百万、50 年前 / 可能翻倍
20an economic justification for not opposing the palm industryRSPO 达到标准 / RSPO 坚持不能破坏环境 → 所以"全透明"

⑤ RSPO 两道多选(21–22)

选项内容
AIts membership has grown steadily over the course of the last decade.(最近十年成员变多)
BIt demands that certified producers be open and honest about their practices.
CIt took several years to establish its palm oil certification.(花了好几年建立标准)
DIts regulations regarding sustainability are stricter than those governing other industries.
EIt was formed at the request of environmentalists concerned about the loss of virgin forests.

提醒:别只看选项里的原词,回文确认"是不是这个机构做的"。

⑥ 填空四句(23–26)

  • 23 One advantage of palm oil for manufacturers is that it stays solid when not refrigerated.(常温不化)
  • 24 The Sumatran orangutan(苏门答腊猩猩)is the best known of the animals suffering habitat loss as a result of the spread of oil palm plantations.
  • 25 As one of its criteria for the certification of sustainable palm oil, the RSPO insists that growers check ___ on a routine basis.(找"例行检查")
  • 26 …the bird's nest fern(鸟巢蕨)could…

方法:把修饰的字删掉,只留主干,再回去定位那个词。

⑦ 文章核心词块

⑧ 长难句一眼扫

How best to strike a utilitarian balance between these competing factors has become a serious bone of contention.

主语是"疑问词 + 不定式"整体(how best to strike…),has become 才是谓语。先找动词,再概括中文:怎么在这些互相拉扯的因素之间取得一个实用的平衡,已经成了争议焦点。
