是的呢,我考雅思那会(2015年),小烤鸭们对IELTS的理解还不是很深入,普遍都会把它分为A类(留学类)和G类(移民类)。其实,现在叫IELTS for UKVI或者A+G组合考试更合适一些~ 但是呢,大家现在提到雅思,普遍还是会习惯地认为它指的是A类哈~ 那么,A类里的阅读部分就是传统意义上的英剧,题目类型为选择题/配对题为主;而g类的阅读部分则是由填空题/判断题构成。
比如剑4 Test 2的Passage 2 The sea Otter and the Kelp(海獭与褐藻)里的一道选择填空题:
Because sea otters feed on sea urchins 20 __________in size, they make sea urchins keep moving and searching for food.
答案是small。这个答案是根据第二段中的下列几句话:
In an unspoiled sea otter habitat, this plant-eating animal lives in the kelp in order to have immediate access to a food supply. When however, there are too many sea urchins, and consequently too few kelp, the sea otter is forced to spend from 40 to even 50 percent of the day travelling in search of food. The sea urchins themselves grow far larger without the otters present.
