Write your answers in boxes l-4 on youranswer sheet.

1.第一题上的黑体表明，空内的答案应该是国家名，那么通过定位词很容易就找到原文对应的内容，并且这个国家名在原位对应的位置在Dominican Republic 之前，大写首字母的国家名就是答案了Sudan and India, 满足题目中的字数限制要求。

错误原因：仅用SKI定位，却忽略了courier service

对症下药：增强准确定位的能力。阅读的第一步是定位，通常我们靠明显清晰的定位词进行迅速定位，比如说大写，数字，特殊印刷或专有名词等。要多学多维度，多角度定位。

2.空内答案位于介词of 之后，应该为名词，通过定位词找到了对应原文的句子，然后发现原文中 was supplied with 于题目中的 provision of 是同义替换，所以答案为名词 bicycles, 并且满足题目中的字数限制要求。

错误原因：不能识别was supplied with和provision的替换

对症下药：扩充单词量，其中包括单词以及词组。平时要扩大阅读面，在阅读的同时要注意同义词的积累，要学会有意识地用不同方式表达同一内容，这是雅思考试的重要考点，此考点贯穿雅思的每个科目。

3.通过第三题对应的黑体字，我们判断空里的答案和courier service 一样都是名词，表格题一般都是顺序题，在原文中第二题的后面再通过定位词，很容易就可以找到对应内容，找打答案是Shoe Shine Collective, 满足题目中的字数限制要求。

错误原因：不能识别插入语成分的解释说明作用

对症下药：建议夯实语法基础，增强语法结构和体系。考生要能迅速识别“主干”和“辅干”，像插入语这样的“辅干”一般只起到补充说明的作用，不会像“主干”那样提供主要信息，因此不要被插入语这样的成分所迷惑。

4.第四题后面是名词training, 可以判断的答案为名词或者形容词，与 business training, access to credit 是并列关系，我们通过定位词找到对应原文，发现business training, life skills training and access to credit.这个并列关系，所以答案是 life skills, 满足题目中的字数限制要求。

错误原因：不能识别结尾的并列关系

对症下药：建议夯实语法基础，增强语法结构和体系。考生在进行雅思阅读答题时，需要具备迅速识别句子成分的能力，化繁为简，找出主干（主谓宾），只有这样才能在有限的时间内提高阅读速度，提升正确率。
