判断题是雅思考试的常见题型,也是难度很大的题型。在普通培训类考试中最多达22题，在学术类考试中也不少于6题。目前有逐渐增多的趋势。其中True/False/Not Given 多见于General Training Module, Yes/No/Not Given 则多见于Academic Module, 因为Yes/No/Not Given最初是为学术类设计的。很多考生对判断题时常束手无策，特别对False和Not Given易混淆。要攻克判断题的难关，我们要分析它的命题规律，找出考察点，有的放矢，才能提高解题准确率。
首先，我们来看一看判断题的设题模式。
从设题模式可以看出雅思考试的考察点基本上可分为两大类：
1）信息点对应，即细节的对应和观点的对应。
例1：It rained heavily everywhere in North China.
Q: It rained in Beijing.
例2. Many people believethat the IELTS candidates must attend an IELTS training course before sitting the test.
Q: The author believes that the IELTS candidates should attend an IELTS training course before sitting the test.
2）简单的推理、总结和归纳能力；基本语言知识和常识。
雅思考试从命题角度不像TOEFL和GRE那样将不同的考察点置于专门题型中，而在一种题型中可能出现几个方面的考察点。但有一点考生要记住：由于雅思考试是一种语言能力的测试，它不考察专业知识，不考察阅读文章以外的背景知识(除基本常识以外，如简单的地理知识)。下面我们来看一看T/F/NG的基本定义：
1. True(Yes): 问题中的信息点或观点与文中的信息点或作者的观点一致。
例：1. It rained heavily everywhere in North China.
Q: It rained in Beijing.
Q: You must fly to Shanghai. (F)
Q: You may probablygo to Shanghai by bus. (NG)
又例：Educational standards in schools have, in general, been gradually improving.
Q: Schools have been getting better. (T)
Q: The education in schools has not been improving. (F)
Q: Educational standards are not as unsatisfactoryas they used to be. (NG)
Tuition fees in this university usually rise by 3-5 percent annually.
Q: The university raises the tuition fee by 3-5 percent every year. (F)
Q: The tuition fees in the university rose by 4 percent last year. (NG)
More than half of the college’s 6000 students are over 19 years old.
Q: There are now 6000 students over the age of 19 in the college. (F)
Cooking can only be done in the kitchenin the dormitory.
Q: Cooking can not be done anywhere in the dormitory. (F)
Q: Cooking cannot be done everywhere in the dormitory. (T)
可以看出分清是整体还是局部的关系，是绝对还是相对的概念至关重要。因此一些表示范围、程度和数量的词如：always, all, some, little, only, must, usually, never等经常是题目中的考察点。 |
