段落信息匹配题？

与之前的快速阅读相比，篇章长度和难度不变。篇章后附有10个句子，每句一题。每句所含的信息出自篇章的某一段落，要求考生找出与每句所含信息相匹配的段落（四级9个段落，六级15个段落）。有的段落可能对应两题，有的段落可能不对应任何一题。

47. A recent study found that most old people in some European countries had regular weekly contact with their adult children.

[K] Nor is there any sign of the intergenerational warfare predicted in the 1990s. After all, older people themselves mostly have families. In a recent study of parents and grown-up children in 11 European countries, Karsten Hank of Mannheim University found that 85% of them lived within 25km of each other and the majority of them were in touch at least once a week.

50. Countries that have a shortage of young adults will be less willing to send them to war.

[M]For example, the shortage of young adults is likely to make countries more reluctant to commit the few they have to military service. In the decades to 2050, America will find itself playing an ever-increasing role in the developed world’s defence effort. Because America’s population will still be growing when that of most other developed countries is shrinking, America will be the only developed country that still matters geopolitically (地缘政治上).

应对策略与注意事项

1. 每次最多看三个题当中的关键信息词，然后回到文章中进行定位；

2. 当一个段落确定选择之后，将该段划掉，四级中先不考虑重复选择的情况，六级考试中重复选择的机率只在理论上存在；

3. 题中的句子不一定是对段落大意的概括，有时只是原文一句话中的同意替换，需要加强除英语能力本身外的逻辑能力与应试技巧。

具体解题技巧

数据、时间可先选

49. In a report published some 20 years ago, the sustainability of old-age pension systems in most countries was called into doubt.

[A]Until the early 1990s nobody much thought about whole populations getting older. The UN had the foresight to convene a “world assembly on ageing” back in 1982, but that came and went. By 1994 the World Bank had noticed that something big was happening. In a report entitled “Averting the Old Age Crisis”, it argued that pension arrangements in most countries were unsustainable.

背景、历史前三段

52. A series of books, mostly authored by Americans, warned of conflicts between the older and younger generations.

[B] For the next ten years a succession of books, mainly by Americans, sounded the alarm. They had titles like Young vs Old, Gray Dawn and The Coming Generational Storm, and their message was blunt: health-care systems were heading for the rocks, pensioners were taking young people to the cleaners, and soon there would be intergenerational warfare

55. Immigration as a means to boost the shrinking labour force may meet with resistance in some rich countries.
