劍橋雅思最難的Section之劍三、劍四
劍3篇
劍3出版時(shí)間較早，因此出題點(diǎn)較現(xiàn)在來(lái)看有些不太一樣，尤其是現(xiàn)在盜版碟中的錄音，語(yǔ)速尤其快，這是由于劍3正版只有磁帶的緣故。在題目上劍3的難度并不大。
其中test 4 section 3是較難的一篇。這篇是討論學(xué)生所寫論文的修改。題型是選擇+搭配+填空題。第一個(gè)難點(diǎn)出現(xiàn)在第3題。
23 Amina was surprised because she
A thought it was bad.
B wrote it quickly.
C found it difficult to do.
此題和上一題距離非常近，在做題時(shí)極容易由于還在思考上一題的答案而忽略此題的答案。其次此題的文字答案是Thats amazing because I really didnt find it a bit easy to write...這邊surprise和amaze的同意互換相當(dāng)有難度。而選項(xiàng)B wrote it quickly中的wrote，非常容易成為干擾選項(xiàng)。
Questions 24-26
What suggestions does Dr Bryson make? Complete the table as follows.
Write A if he says KEEP UNCHANGED
Write B if he says REWRITE
Write C if he says REMOVE COMPLETELY
Chronology 26 .................
文字答案：
AMINA: What about the chronology ... the list of dates? I wasnt sure whether I should rewrite those.
BRYSON: My advice on that is to take them out. I feel it makes the whole piece appear too simplistic.
這邊學(xué)生詢問(wèn)是不是應(yīng)該rewrite，而教授的觀點(diǎn)是應(yīng)該take out，因此應(yīng)該選C，但是很容易受到前面的rewrite影響而錯(cuò)選擇了B。

文字答案：
BRYSON: And then I think you need to think about ways of representing interview data. Have a look at Sight and Sound by Kate Oakwell.
AMINA: Sight and Sound.
BRYSON: Then you know Im going away on holiday next week . . .
AMINA: Yes.
BRYSON: So when youve made the changes I suggest you show the work to your Support Tutor.
AMINA: Support Tutor . . . right. . .
BRYSON: Then you do the proof reading . . .
AMINA: Proof reading . . . uh-huh. When by, do you think?
27題的答案是sight and sound，極容易寫成site或cite，讀音一致但是意思差很遠(yuǎn)。28和29題詞匯有一定難度，尤其是28題不可以漏寫Support，這些會(huì)帶來(lái)不少麻煩。
總體來(lái)說(shuō)正版劍3語(yǔ)速并不快，考點(diǎn)也比較清晰。但是會(huì)出現(xiàn)個(gè)別難度較高的詞匯，需要重點(diǎn)注意。
劍4篇
劍4相對(duì)于前面基本劍橋來(lái)說(shuō)無(wú)論從出題點(diǎn)、語(yǔ)速來(lái)說(shuō)都有很很大程度的改進(jìn)，相較于后面的基本劍橋來(lái)說(shuō)，難度并不是特別大，非常適合基礎(chǔ)稍微薄弱點(diǎn)的學(xué)生做，而其中的選擇題尤其多，對(duì)于練習(xí)選擇題也有不少幫助。其中難度較大的是第2篇section4;第4篇section2和section3。
4-2-4是介紹集團(tuán)犯罪，及其現(xiàn)狀、成因和社會(huì)影響。首先這個(gè)部分場(chǎng)景性較難，許多考生對(duì)于這個(gè)方面感覺(jué)比較陌生，導(dǎo)致整篇文章較難聽(tīng)懂。教授講課的語(yǔ)速雖然不快，但是聲音較沉，也會(huì)一定程度影響聽(tīng)力。整個(gè)10道題題型分布是單選題+填空題+多選題。
32 Corporate crime does NOT include
A employees stealing from their company.
B unintentional crime by employees.
C fraud resulting from company policy.
文字答案：
So crime like theft by employees - things like embezzlement or fraud against ones actual employers are excluded according to this definition.
首先題目中的NOT include在聽(tīng)力中是用exclude作為互換的，比較難反應(yīng)過(guò)來(lái);其次這道題的答案是倒置出現(xiàn)的，也就是在exclude這個(gè)詞的前面;最后由theft和答案中的stealing作互換，也比較頭疼。而且后面出現(xiàn)的生詞embezzlement和fraud也會(huì)影響聽(tīng)力，更加糟糕的是錯(cuò)誤答案C中出現(xiàn)了fraud這個(gè)詞語(yǔ)，很容易會(huì)導(dǎo)致選錯(cuò)。
35和36題答案為specialist knowledge和unaware，這兩個(gè)詞語(yǔ)較難寫，尤其是第二個(gè)很容易聽(tīng)成 underwear 這個(gè)讀音很像但是意思完全錯(cuò)誤的詞語(yǔ)。
4-4-2是一個(gè)旅行社的電話錄音，介紹旅行路線、服務(wù)質(zhì)量以及費(fèi)用問(wèn)題。雖然這篇僅僅只是section2，但是難度高于整本書(shū)的其他部分。題目是一半的選擇題+一半的填空題。

文字答案：
We offer guided working tours ... in twelve different centres throughout the whole of Western Europe. ... All are planned in detail by our highly trained guides, who all work in a variety of different Travelite locations, ... we offer three separate works catering for all skills and fitness levels. ... we guarantee that no single client will pay more, even when only double rooms are available for them. ... Entertainment is laid on nearly every night...
這邊的答案分別為A, A, A, B，但是第12題由于whole的影響，容易錯(cuò)選B;第13題由于前面波浪線的這句話而選擇B，也可能由于聽(tīng)到了fitness level而錯(cuò)選C，而答案A是由于a range of和all的同意互換產(chǎn)生的;第14題可能由于后面的double room而錯(cuò)選C;第15題由于every前面的nearly讀的很輕，導(dǎo)致錯(cuò)選C。
第17題的答案是nearest station，由于爆破和吞音的影響，導(dǎo)致會(huì)聽(tīng)成near或者nearer而造成失分。
整體上來(lái)看，劍4選擇題難度較大，陷進(jìn)較多，語(yǔ)速較后面基本劍橋略慢，但非常清晰。很適合作為打基礎(chǔ)之用。
