最后一种是配对选项等于题目，即“一个萝卜一个坑”。（这类题目很少出现，而且错误率太高，错一题的同时相当于错两题）

其实，在1999年之前，雅思听力是没有配对题目的，它的产生是单选题的一种引申，配对的选项是对题干的解释或者说明。

自从配对题出现后，多半题目的出现形势是第一种，也就是选项多于题目。

很明显，有些选项是用不上的，大多数的雅思烤鸭们同义词替换的能力和辨识速度有限，如果仅看着题目或者配对的信息文字较少而猜来猜去，不错还好，要是错了就会影响其他题目，甚至出现多重错误，影响整体分数。

据不完全统计，在2016年的雅思听力考试中，2月13日的Section 3题型为单选+配对；

2月27日的Section 3题型为单选+配对；

3月5日的Section 3题型为填空+单选+配对；

6月25日的Section 2题型为配对+选择，Section 3为单选+配对；

8月27日的Section 3题型为多选+配对。

由此可见，配对题的出现虽然不能和出现率近乎100%的填空和选择题相比较，但是不断上升的出题概率也需要引起烤鸭的重视。

特点二：定位容易&顺序原则

以Cambridge 5 Test 4 Section 3为例，建议雅思烤鸭首先抓住顺序性原则，以题干为基础，Q28-30的题目均是人名，不会出现同义词替换，定位非常容易。

但是，选项很长，干扰性极强，所以，不太建议先看选项。

Trans+解析：

Karin: Yes, I think I can dothat. Personally I’ve got great hopes for it. I think it will recover (28).

根据说话的人确定是Karin，烤鸭们记下的词应该是recover，那么，回顾选项，我们会发现C选项里的overcome its problems解释了recover。

Thatadvertising campaign they did was very innovative with their products-they setnew trends. The company’s got to recover, don't you think, Jason?

Jason:Hmmm-I’m not sure. Ithink it ca but it’s not a forgone conclusion unless they manage to attract theright level of investment. The company definitely needs a boost(29)

根据说话的人确定是Jason，烤鸭们首先定位到investment，然后记下need a boost，那么，我们会发现B选项里的too littleinvestment正好匹配。

and to attract more highly skilledworkers if their recovery is to be long-lasting. When I was talking to themarketing manager he said to me that he thinks the company had got a greatmanagement team-but he would say that, wouldn’t he?- but they are sufferingfrom having to work with outdated production machinery and that could cost alot to put right.

Tutor:Well, personally, l think the stock market is toblame. I think they were expecting too much of the company and then inevitablyit looked had when it didn't perform. The market should have had more realisticexpectations.And I disagree with you about the advertising campaign Karin.That’s where they could do with some innovation(30)

根据说话的人确定是Tutor，烤鸭们首先定位的词是campaign，然后记下innovation（创新），那么，回顾选项，我们会发现D选项里的匹配词也是campaign以及improvement和innovation的同义词转换。
