关于PETS三级阅读理解释义性题目

如

the main characteristics of the system is _________.

one of the advantages of living in the countryside is _________.

这类问题在阅读理解的题目中占较大的比例。因为，阅读理解的文章大多是说明文体裁。说明文就是对事物解释，定义。文章用较大的篇幅来解释，答案项要么是对这些解释的另一说法，要么是对这些解释的归纳。

这类问题虽属细节题，但不容易做。有两点要注意。

1.注意解释的准确性

干扰项往往在对文章事物的.解释中，夹带“私货：，加进一些词，夸大了原文的意义，作了不合事实的引伸。

这就告诉我们，在辨别信息时，对一些对原文解释、归纳的选项，要注意其释义的准确性。特别要当心在解释时加进一些修饰词，如mainly，chiefly，whenever，only等，使原文的意思发生细微的变化。因此有这些词的选项，多半是错误的。

2.注意归纳的准确性

问的是事物的主要特点、特征、功能，干扰项却把次要的、细节性的东西，具体事实混进选项。

这告诉我们，在做释义题，辨别选项时，要注意区分细节和结论，事实和观点。问归纳性的结论，观点时不要把具体的细节，事实套上去。【相关阅读】
