阅读理解最重要的部分是正确答案必须是如下之一:
1。what the author stated;
2。what the author implied.
但很多学生就栽在这个implication上面:他们往往把assumption和implication混淆。
比如,作者文中有这样一句话:" I wish I had a daughter!"
基于这句话,有个选择题:
a. he has a son;
b. he likes daughters more than sons;
c. he has a dog;
d. his wife can not have babies;
e. he does not have a daughter.
这个题很简单,但从根本上明白了,SAT或GRE或其它考试的阅读,基本上没有问题。
