本期南京国际高中小编带你走进国际加试的阅读;畅聊国际加试笔试中的事实信息题。
真题再现
Which of the following is mentioned as one of the purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 ?
(A) to discourage workers from asking for increased wages
(B) to establish a limit on the number of hours in the workweek
(C) to allow employers to set the length of the workweek for their workers
(D) to restrict trade with countries that had a long workweek
迷津点播
首先拿到这题,我们需要知道的是题目要求是什么。这题问“以下哪一个被提到是作为1938年Fair Labor Standards Act的目的之一?”即典型的事实信息题,需要大家根据原文信息,选出符合文意的一项;
明确题目考察类型之后,我们就要从题目中找出能够帮助自己快速定位的关键词。那么什么样的此能够称得上是关键词呢?即在文章中尽可能出现次数少的词或者能够让我们的肉眼快速锁定的词。那么在这题中,首字母大写的专有名词词组Fair Labor Standards Act和数字1938是最明显的关键词了,据此我们能定位到语句:
The Depression years of the 1930's brought with them the notion of job sharing to spread available work around; the workweek dropped to a modem low for the United States of 35 hours. In 1938 the Fair Labor Standards Act mandated a weekly maximum of 40 hours to begin in 1940, and since that time the 8-hour day, 5-day workweek has been the standard in the United States. Adjustments in various places, however, show that this standard is not immutable. In 1987, for example, German metalworkers struck for and received a 37.5-hour workweek; and in 1990 many workers in Britain won a 37-hour week. Since 1989, the Japanese government has moved from a 6- to a 5-day workweek and has set a national target of 1,800 work hours per year for the average worker. The average amount of work per year in Japan in 1989 was 2,088 hours per worker, compared to 1,957 for the United States and 1,646 for France.
提取出关键句:In 1938 the Fair Labor Standards Act mandated a weekly maximum of 40 hours to begin in 1940, and since that time the 8-hour day, 5-day workweek has been the standard in the United States.理解句意:在1938年Fair Labor Standards Act下令自1940年起一周最长工时为40小时,自此1天8小时、1周工作5天成为美国的标准;
紧接着我们来浏览选项,发现B. to establish a limit on the number of hours in the workweek“为了设立一周中的工时极限”符合文意,答案选B。
思路小结
遇到事实信息题,
1. 精读题目,提取关键词;
2. 根据关键词定位关键句;
3. 精读关键句,理解句意;
4. 回到选项,选出符合文意的一项。

The Depression years of the 1930's brought with them the notion of job sharing to spread available work around; the workweek dropped to a modem low for the United States of 35 hours. In 1938 the Fair Labor Standards Act mandated a weekly maximum of 40 hours to begin in 1940, and since that time the 8-hour day, 5-day workweek has been the standard in the United States. Adjustments in various places, however, show that this standard is not immutable. In 1987, for example, German metalworkers struck for and received a 37.5-hour workweek; and in 1990 many workers in Britain won a 37-hour week. Since 1989, the Japanese government has moved from a 6- to a 5-day workweek and has set a national target of 1,800 work hours per year for the average worker. The average amount of work per year in Japan in 1989 was 2,088 hours per worker, compared to 1,957 for the United States and 1,646 for France.
