特点三：题量小&陷阱多

通过对过去题目的总结，发现配对题的出现总是附带性的（达不到10题），换言之，几乎不会独立出现。

接下来，我们来详细分析一下Cambridge 7 Test 3 Section 3这个选项少于题目的配对题。

首先，我们以题目的顺序为定位，26-30的定位词在下文中有标注出来。

其次，烤鸭们要明白，一般选项是三个的情况都需要重复使用，在考试中的题目通常是对某种事物有着不同的看法，所以，雅思烤鸭们要根据录音表达做出选择。

此时的陷阱之一就是：由于选项比较固定，题干中的内容在录音中会出现同义词替换，这样会引起烤鸭们定位困难。

另外，说话人的语气和态度也是陷阱之二，烤鸭在做出选择时要听明白录音的言下之意，光听懂字面意思不够。

Questions26-30

In what time periodcan data from the float projects help with the following things?

Writethe correct letter, A, Bor C, next to questions 26-30.

AAt present

BIn the near future

CIn the long-term future

26understanding of El Niño....................

27understanding of climate change....................

28naval rescues....................

29sustainable fishing practices....................

30crop selection....................

Trans+解析：

You say you’re building models of the world’s oceansystems, but how’re they going to be used? And more importantly, when?

Some of the data has already helped in completingprojects. For example, our understanding of the underlying causes of El Ninoevents is being confirmed by float data. (26)

这一句当中的定位词是El Nino, 而这个词出现的句子中的时态是现在进行时，所以对应选项A。

Anotherway we’re using float data is to help us to understand mechanics of climatechange, like global warming and ozone depletion. That’s part of an ongoingvariability study but the results are still a long way off. (27)

这一句当中的定位词是climate change，而这个词出现的句子中出现的时间提示a long way off即需要记下的笔记，所以，对应选项C。

However, this is not the case withour ocean weather forecasting. Because we know from the floats what theprevailing weather conditions will be in certain parts of the ocean, we canadvise the navy on search and rescue missions, that’s happening right now. (28)

这一句当中的定位词只是navy, rescues在听力原文中和on search并列，而这个词出现的句子中出现的时间提示right now即需要记下的笔记，所以，对应选项A。

and may yachtsmen owetheir lives to the success of this project. In addition, the float data canhelp us to look at the biological implications of ocean processes.

Would that help with preserving fish stocks?

Yes, and advising governments on fisheries legislation.We’re well on the way to completing a project on this, we hope it will helpto bring about more sustainable fishing practices, we’ll be seeing the resultsof that quite soon.(29)

这一句当中的定位词是fishingpractices，而这个词出现的句子中出现的时间提示quite soon即需要记下的笔记，所以，对应选项B。

It sounds like the data from floats has lots ofapplications. Yes it does. It’s also a powerful agricultural tool. If wewere aware of what the weather would be like, say next year, we could make surethat the farmers planted appropriate grain varieties to produce the best yieldfrom the available rainfall. That sounds a bit like science fiction, especiallywhen now we can’t even tell them when the draught will break. I agree that thisconcept is still a long way in the future,(30)

这一句当中的定位词是crop selection,整个录音里并没有出现原词，所以这题较难。

Crop(农作物)在录音中的替换是grain(谷物)，selection在录音中是farmers planted appropriate grain varieties to produce the bestyield from the available rainfall的解释，整个词出现的句子中出现的时间提示a long way in thefuture即需要记下的笔记，所以，对应选项C。

but it will come eventually and the float data will have made acontribution.

那么，烤鸭在听完后，再针对选项作出一个整理。

例如：

¶atpresent = now / right now / current(ly) / recent(ly)

¶inthe near future = quite / very soon

¶inthe long-term future = a long way in the future / in long term run / a long wayoff

当烤鸭整理成习惯后，也会在后期自己做听力时自发想到这些同义词替换，适时做笔记，录音结束后，根据笔记做配对验证，从而提高做题的正确率。
