IELTS雅思閱讀必考題型解題技巧示範-標題配對(heading)

一般而言, 每一段文章由主要論點 (main idea) 與輔助解釋說明及例證之次要之支持論點 (supporting idea) 組成。 首先根據選項(answer choices) 進行分析, 找到其關鍵詞彙在原文中之位置, 因既然為標題 (heading) 應在段首或段尾處 ; 此外, 觀察段落之出現頻率高之詞彙亦指本文之主體論述.

A  The story of tea began in ancient China over 5,000 years ago. According to the legend, Shen Nung, an early emperor was a skilled ruler, creative scientist and patron of the arts.  His far-sighted edicts required, among other things, that all drinking water be boiled as a hygienic precaution. One summer day while visiting a distant region of his realm, he and the court stopped to rest.  In accordance with his ruling, the servants began to boil water for the court to drink. Dried leaves from the nearby bush fell into the boiling water, and a brown liquid was infused into the water. As a scientist, the emperor was interested in the new liquid, drank some, and found it very refreshing.  And so, according to legend, tea was created.

B  Tea consumption spread throughout the Chinese culture reaching into every aspect of the society. In 800 A.D. Lu Yu wrote the first definitive book on tea, the Ch’a Ching.  This amazing man was orphaned as a child and raised by scholarly Buddhist monks in one of China’s finest monasteries. Patronized by the Emperor himself, his work clearly showed the Zen Buddhist philosophy to which he was exposed as a child. It was this form of tea service that Zen Buddhist missionaries would later introduce to imperial Japan. The first tea seeds were brought to Japan by the returning Buddhist priest Yeisei, who had seen the value of tea in China in enhancing 

religious mediation. As a result, he is known as the “Father of Tea” in Japan. Because of this early association, tea in Japan has always been associated with Zen Buddhism. Tea received almost instant imperial sponsorship and spread rapidly from the royal court and monasteries to the other sections of Japanese society.

以下戴爾美語老師示範如何找答案~~

1. The story of tea began in ancient China over 5,000 years ago. According to the legend, Shen Nung, an early emperor was a skilled ruler, creative scientist and patron of the arts.

Dried leaves from the nearby bush fell into the boiling water, and a brown liquid was infused into the water. As a scientist, the emperor was interested in the new liquid, drank some, and found it very refreshing.  And so, according to legend, tea was created.

A 段提到: 茶的歷史自從5000年前之中國就已開始. 文中亦提到古代傳說故事,神農.  談及此位既是為帝王統治者亦為有創意之科學家.  其間某日, 服侍神農皇帝之僕人於煮水時無意間之茶葉落入滾水中, 此時發現此茶水如此美味精神為之一振.  此乃茶最早之源起.

   答案選擇    v.    A chance discovery   (茶之偶然發現) 

2. Tea consumption spread throughout the Chinese culture reaching into every aspect of the society. In 800 A.D. Lu Yu wrote the first definitive book on tea, the Ch’a Ching.

Because of this early association, tea in Japan has always been associated with Zen Buddhism. Tea received almost instant imperial sponsorship and spread rapidly from the royal court and monasteries to the other sections of Japanese society.

茶之消費遍及中國文化之社會各個層面.  西元 800年, 陸羽著作第一本定義茶之書籍—茶經(Ch’a Ching) . 因陸羽從小即是為孤兒, 乃由寺院之佛教僧侶所撫養長大.  而茶道 (tea service)與第一顆茶之種子亦是透過佛教禪宗(Zen Buddhism) 僧侶傳輸入日本.

    因為此種早期之關係, 茶在日本一直與佛教禪宗有關聯性.  因此, 茶受到了帝國皇帝之贊助而且迅速從皇家宮廷與修道院 (monastery) 傳播普及至日本社會.

    由此判斷此段落主要敘述茶透過佛教僧侶散播而普及化.

    答案為    viii.  A connection between tea and religion
