雅思阅读段落信息匹配题常常搭配着“完成句子填空题”一起出，这种填空题有时甚至会成为解答雅思阅读段落信息匹配题的“法宝”，下面，我们就跟随朗阁海外考试研究中心的老师一起来看一看如何将这两种题型联系起来：
 

　　剑11.Test 3.Reading Passage 3: “Preface to ‘How the other half thinks: Adventures in mathematical reasoning’.”

　　Questions 35-40:

　　Complete the sentences below.

　　Choose ONE WORD ONLY from the passage for each answer.

　　Write your answers in boxes 35-40 on you answer sheet.

　　35. Some areas of both music and mathematics are suitable for someone who is a _____.

　　36. It is sometimes possible to understand advanced mathematics using no more than a limited knowledge of _______.

　　37. The writer intends to show that mathematics requires ________ thinking, as well as analytical skills.

　　38. Some books written by ______ have had to leave out the mathematics that is central to their theories.

　　39. The writer advises non-mathematical readers to perform ______ while reading the book.

　　40. A lawyer found that studying ________ helped even more than other areas of mathematics in the study of law.
 

　　雅思阅读段落信息匹配题由于出题范围散落在全文各处，所以时不时有跟该段落里其他题目对应处相关联的部分出现。学生们可以扮演一下福尔摩斯的角色，从其他题目的陈述中敏锐发现可以帮助我们雅思阅读段落信息匹配题的线索。
 

　　如38题，题目中提到“some books”, “leave out the mathematics”。前面的27题要找的内容正是“books that assume a lack of mathematical knowledge”。lack和leave out可以同义替换。这样一来，我们可以肯定，27题和38题对应原文的应该是同一处，而38题作为一个完成句子填空题，本身是一个有顺序的细节题，找答案要比雅思阅读段落信息匹配题方便得多。只要先解决38题，27题就能自然而然得出结论。
 

　　又如40题，题中提及“a lawyer”以及“helped even more than other areas of mathematics”，这与我们前面的29题“personal examples of being helped by mathematics”对应的内容刚好一致。“a lawyer”就是一个“personal example”, 所以29题的解答也可以依靠40题来完成。
 

　　这种方法虽然有“旁门左道”的嫌疑，但有时确实好用又省时，特别是在帮一些基础较弱的学生树立解题信心方面也能起到良好的作用，因此也不失为一种值得探索的办法。在总结比较了剑桥真题上出现过的雅思阅读段落信息匹配题后，我也发现这种“借力打力，用题解题”的办法绝不是极为特殊的个例。
 

　　如剑10 Test 2 Reading Passage 2 “Gifted children and learning”的段落匹配题中，第14题“a reference to the influence of the domestic background on the gifted child”。

　　只要理解好“domestic background”指的是家庭背景，就能和下面的人名观点匹配题中21题“The very gifted child benefits from appropriate support from close relatives.”中的“close relatives”联系起来。这样14题的答案就不需要再额外花费精力去找了。
 

　　又比如第16题“a reference to the damaging effects of anxiety”，需要寻找的信息就是焦虑担忧这种情绪带来的负面影响;在下面的人名观点匹配题中，第20题“Gifted children know how to channel their feelings to assist their learning”, 讲的就是如何通过疏导情绪来辅助学习，跟16题刚好一正一反，从不同角度讲积极消极情绪的不同影响，所以这两题的内容也关联紧密。
 

　　再如剑10 Test 4 Reading Passage 2 “Second nature”的段落匹配题中，第26题“an example of how someone risked his career out a sense of duty”，举例说明某人出于责任感而不惜用自己的职业生涯冒险。联系前面人名观点匹配题中21题“Courage can be learned once its origins in a sense of responsibility are understood.”, 题中出现的a sense of responsibility和26题的sense of duty是同义替换词。那么，这两道题放在一起合并解答就不奇怪了。
