第26題是觀點細節題,問一些人對英國食品自給自足的看法,作為第一個題目,理所應當到第一或第二段找答案,而且要找觀點句,所以通過food self-sufficiency定位到第二段“A move back to self-sufficiency,the argument goes,would boost the farming industry, political sovereignty and even the nation’s health.”一句,說明回到自給自足能促進養殖業,政治主權,甚至是國家健康,所以選B促進國家福祉屬于一個概括性說法。這道題基本靠定位就可以解決,比較直白,和原文雖并非一模一樣,但是概括意味很明顯,閱讀難度也不大,是一道難度系數不高的題目,屬于必拿分題。
第28題是另一種細節題,原因細節題,問英國的農作物種植受限制的原因是什么。題干中的due to 是非常典型的問原因的短語。原因細節題我們通常要找定位句的因果關系,如果沒有明顯的因果邏輯關系詞,一般就往后看,這道題通過crop-growing in the UK定位到第五段,第二句There is a good reason why the UK is dominated by animal husbandry: most of its terrain doesn't have the right soil or climate to grow crops on a commercial basis.冒號后面解釋了原因,說doesn’t have right soil or climate to grow crops,沒有合適的土壤和天氣,所以C自然條件是對土壤和氣候的概括說法。
