IELTS Reading True / False / Not Given:答题方法与练习题
True / False / Not Given 考查每个陈述是否与文章中的事实一致。大多数失分来自把 False 和 Not Given 混淆。下面介绍解题方法、需要避开的陷阱,以及一道可以动手试做的题。
判断每个陈述与文章信息是否一致(True)、相矛盾(False),还是文章未提及(Not Given)。Not Given 是最容易失分的陷阱:只要文章没有说,即使陈述听起来很合理,答案也是 Not Given。
完整题库中有 109 道这种题型的练习题。
无需注册,无需绑卡。
答题方法
- 先读陈述,划出核心意思以及 all、only、always、first、most 等限定词。
- 在文章中找到讨论同一内容的部分。陈述按文章顺序排列。
- 比较意思,而不是比较单词:文章通常会改写陈述的说法。
- 文章说法相同选 TRUE,说法相反选 FALSE,两方面都没有提到则选 NOT GIVEN。
常见错误
- 文章只是没有提到这一点,却选了 FALSE。FALSE 需要有明确的矛盾。
- 用自己的知识作答。即使陈述在现实中正确,也只能以文章所说为准。
- 漏看一个改变说法的词,例如 usually 与 always,或 some 与 most。

The Glassmakers of Vellin The village of Vellin has a glassmaking tradition that dates back at least four hundred years. Its early glassmakers were attracted to the area by its forests, which supplied wood to fuel the furnaces, and by a nearby river, which was used to transport finished goods to the coast. By the nineteenth century, most of the surrounding forest had been cut down, and the workshops began burning coal brought in by canal. Today, only two workshops remain, both run by families who have worked with glass for generations. They no longer produce everyday items such as bottles and windows, which are made far more cheaply in large factories, but specialise in decorative pieces sold to collectors and tourists. Each piece is blown and shaped by hand, and a large bowl may take a full day to complete. A small museum in the village displays examples of Vellin glass from different periods, together with tools used by the early glassmakers.
Does the following statement agree with the information given in the passage? Choose TRUE, FALSE or NOT GIVEN. Glass is made by heating sand to a very high temperature.
- TRUE
- FALSE
- NOT GIVEN
显示答案和解析
NOT GIVEN. The passage mentions furnaces and fuel but never says what glass is made from or how hot the furnace must be.
- Not correct. This may be true in real life, but the passage does not say it, and in IELTS only the passage counts.
- Not correct. FALSE needs something in the passage that contradicts the statement, but sand and heating temperatures are never discussed at all.
- Correct. Sand and temperature are not mentioned, so the statement cannot be checked against the passage.
技巧: Never use your own knowledge. A statement that is true in the real world is still NOT GIVEN if the passage does not say it.
常见问题
