雅思閱讀配對思路解析

標題配對題（List of headings）是雅思閱讀中的一種重要題型，要求給段落找小標題。它一般位於文章之前，由兩部分組成：一部分是選項，另一部分是段落編號，要求給各個段落找到與它對應的選項，即表達了該段中心思想的選項。有時還會舉一個例子。當然，例子中的選項是不會作爲答案的。

解題思路：

1．將例子所對應的選項及段落標號劃去

2．劃出選項中的關鍵詞及概念性名詞

3．瀏覽文章，抓住各段的主題句和核心詞（尤其是反覆出現的'核心詞），重點關注段落首句、第二句與末句

4．與段落主題句同義或包含段落核心詞的選項爲正確答案

例一

原文：

The changing demographics will not only affect selection ratios. They will also make it increasingly important for organisations wishing to maintain in their competitive edge to be more responsive and accommodating to the changing needs of their workforce if they are to retain and develop their human resources. More flexible working hours, the opportunity of work from home of job share, the provision of childcare facilities etc., will play a major role in attracting and retaining staff in the future.

答案：Heading: The effect of changing demographics on organisations（段落第二句爲段落主題句，而第一句起承上作用。注意：在not only…also結構中，not only部分承上，also部分啓下，爲段落主題所在）

例二

原文：

While the Inuit may not actually starve if hunting and trapping are curtailed by climate change, there has certainly been an impact on people's health. Obesity, heart disease and diabetes are beginning to appear in a people for whom these have never before been problems. There has been a crisis of identity as the traditional skills of hunting, trapping and preparing skins have begun to disappear. In Nunavut's 'igloo and email' society, where adults who were born in igloos have children who may never have been out on the land, there's a high incidence of depression.

答案：Heading: Negative effects on well-being（段落第一句爲段落主題句，其中while引導的從句表示讓步，起承上作用，後面的主句there has certainly been an impact on people's health爲本段的中心所在）
