在所有的雅思阅读答题技巧中,都要求大家养成一种技能,就是细心。只有大家足够的细心,才能在雅思阅读答题的过程中应用各种技巧,应对各种情况。下面就为大家整理了关于细心在雅思阅读技巧中的应用案例,供大家参考。

另一个例子出现在同一套题中的Q36 (Multiple Choice):
36. The writer suggests that newspapers print items that are intended to
A. educate readers
B. meet their readers’ expectations.
C. encourage feedback from readers.
D. mislead readers.
总有少数学生会做出错误选择D,因为在确定了关键词newspaper 的位置后,在Newspapers and broadcasters are there to provide what the public wants.后面紧接着出现的是That, ...
