雅思閱讀中的單選題常常是雅思考生的頭痛題型之一，常常找得到，看得懂，做不對。不但浪費了時間，而且正確率也不理想。今天為大家解釋一題，讓大家對這類題型有更多的思路，同學們可以先試看看喔！

The book Educating Psyche is mainly concerned with

A the power of suggestion in learning.

B a particular technique for learning based on emotions.

C the effects of emotion on the imagination and the unconscious.

D ways of learning which are not traditional.

對應原文：

Educating Psyche by Bernie Neville is a book which looks at radical new approaches to learning, describing the effects of emotion, imagination and the unconscious on learning. One theory discussed in the book is that proposed by George Lozanov, which focuses on the power of suggestion .

統計下來，選取各個答案的同學都大有人在，因此我們來解釋一下

讀懂題目不難，問這本書是有關於什麼的。由於此題為本文首題，且題中書名為斜體，定位文章首段沒有任何問題。

選A選項的同學蠻多的，並且給出了理由，原文明確指出了'focuses on the power of suggestion'。但稍微細心點，回到原文我們發現'One theory discussed in the book is that proposed by George Lozanov, which focuses on the power of suggestion.'這句話中，’ focuses on the power of suggestion ’主詞which指的是不是book，而是指書中的theory。描述對象為theory, 而題目問的是book, 描述對象的不同就被同學們忽視了。A項的偷換主詞，成功地起到了張冠李戴的作用。

B選項'a particular technique for learning based on emotions'包含了learning 和emotions，且都為文中的資訊，但資訊不全，且干擾性沒有C選項大。

C選項'the effects of emotion on the imagination and the unconscious'在很多同學眼中呼應了原文中的'describing the effects of emotion, imagination and the unconscious on learning'。但大家可以核對一下結構effect of A on B, 選項中A 為emotion，B 為imagination and the unconscious，而原文中A為emotion, imagination and the unconscious，B為learning。錯誤選項C對原文偷天換日，迷惑了不少同學。

而正確答案D項'ways of learning which are not traditional'看起來與原文關係最小，但大家只要抓住題目的主詞book, 就會發現原文'Educating Psyche by Bernie Neville is a book which looks at radical new approaches to learning'直接給出了答案，只不過運用了'否定+反義詞'這一同義替換手段，即將new替換為not traditional。另外，approaches 替換為ways，也一定程度上增加了難度。

回過頭來看，我們需要去思考的事情有：

1. 應該把更多的注意力放在題目的解讀上，當搞清楚問題要問的主詞是誰時，就不會讀到多餘的訊息，例如說題目問的是The book，只要抓住這個主詞就可以在後面讀到原文第二句 ” One theory discussed in the book is that proposed by George Lozanov, which focuses on the power of suggestion.”的時候發現主詞為theory，就不要再繼續讀下去了，因為與提問對象不符合
2. 題目訊息的篩選，干擾選項大都為位置調換，資訊不全，只要稍作比對就可以排除，在這種時候多餘的臆測猜想都是不需要的。

總而言之，做單選題的基本原則就是抓主詞，確定文章的主詞並且確定好方向，避免過多的臆測猜想，就可以提升答題率了喔！
