IELTS Reading Yes / No / Not Given：答题方法与练习题

Yes / No / Not Given 考查的是作者的观点和主张，而不是单纯的事实。你要判断作者对每个陈述是同意、反对，还是没有表态。

与 True / False / Not Given 类似，但考查的是作者的观点或主张，而不是事实。问自己：作者是同意（Yes）、不同意（No），还是根本没有表态（Not Given）？

答题方法

  1. 确认陈述描述的是谁的观点：必须是作者本人的观点，而不是作者引用的其他人。
  2. 按照文章顺序，找到作者讨论同一内容的地方。
  3. 寻找作者的态度：fortunately、mistakenly、convincingly 等评价性词语往往决定答案。
  4. 作者同意选 YES，作者反对选 NO，作者没有对此表态则选 NOT GIVEN。

常见错误

  • 根据文章中其他人的观点作答，而不是作者本人的观点。
  • 把中性的描述当成同意。如果作者只是转述某种观点，答案可能是 NOT GIVEN。
  • 忽略缓和语气的词：likely、some 和 may 会让陈述比 always 或 all 弱。

The four-day week Trials of a four-day working week, in which staff work fewer hours for the same pay, have produced encouraging headlines. Participating companies frequently report that employees are less tired and that output has held steady. I am sympathetic to the idea, but the evidence so far deserves careful reading. Most trials have involved firms that volunteered to take part, and a company confident enough to volunteer is probably one where the change was likely to work. Results from such firms cannot simply be extended to hospitals, schools or factories, where work cannot easily be compressed into fewer days. Nor should a shorter week be regarded as the only route to better well-being; flexible start times, or a right to ignore work email after hours, may achieve some of the same benefits at lower risk. None of this means the trials are worthless. They have shown that the five-day week is a convention rather than a law of nature, and that is a useful lesson in itself.

Does the following statement agree with the views of the writer of the passage? Choose YES if it matches the writer's view, NO if it contradicts the writer's view, or NOT GIVEN if the passage does not tell us what the writer thinks about this. Statement: Employees prefer flexible start times to a four-day week.

  1. YES
  2. NO
  3. NOT GIVEN
显示答案和解析

NOT GIVEN. Flexible start times are mentioned as another possible route to well-being, but employees' preferences are not discussed.

  1. Incorrect. The writer says flexible start times 'may achieve some of the same benefits at lower risk', which is about risk and benefit, not about what employees prefer.
  2. Incorrect. The writer does not say employees prefer the four-day week either.
  3. Correct. No information is given about employee preference, so the writer's view on it cannot be determined.

技巧： Do not confuse what the writer recommends considering with what other people prefer.

常见问题

Yes / No / Not Given 和 True / False / Not Given 有什么不同？

True / False / Not Given 核对的是文章中的事实。Yes / No / Not Given 核对的是作者的观点或主张，所以要找作者的态度。

如果作者引用了一位不同意该陈述的专家，怎么办？

那不是作者本人的观点。作答前，先确认作者是接受还是否定这位专家的意见。
