文章题目：Urban Animals in the U.S.

问题类型：Which paragraph contains the following information　　Summary Completion　　Matching people with opinions

文章内容回顾：

一种遍布美国 (with the exception of Hawaii) 的urban动物，但很难被看见，它们最大的威胁是wolves, 因为forest消失而进入urban area. 有些人希望除掉它们，但不可能。反而这些动物与人越来越多联系(最后一段：攻击人类、人类喂食它们以至于它们住得离人们近)

英文原文阅读：

Urban environments can exert novel selective pressures on organisms sometimes leading to new adaptations. For example, the weed Crepis Sancta, found in France, has two types of seed, heavy and fluffy. The heavy ones land near the parent plant, whereas the fluffy seeds float further away on the wind. In urban environments, seeds that float far often land on infertile concrete. Within about 5-12 generations the weed has been found to evolve to produce significantly more heavy seeds than its rural relatives. Among vertebrates, a case is urban great tits, which have been found to sing at a higher pitch than their rural relatives so that their songs stand out above the city noise, although this is probably a learned rather than evolved response. Urban silvereyes, an Australian bird, make contact calls that are higher frequency and slower than those of rural silvereyes. As it appears that contact calls are instinctual and not learnt, this has been suggested as evidence that urban silvereyes have undergone recent evolution so as to better communicate in noisy urban environments. Many North American species have successfully adapted to urban environments and are thriving. Typical examples include coyotes, rabbits, raccoons, squirrels,opossums, deer and red foxes. This has led to conflict with humans, as these animals open garbage bags in search of food, eat food left out for pets, take the pets themselves, feed on prized garden plants, dig up lawns, and so on. There may be some concern that coyotes pose a risk to small children and that they should not be left unsupervised in areas where coyotes are known to inhabit. While there are media accounts of alligators being found in sewer pipes and storm drains, most experts think that such 'sewer alligators' are unlikely to sustain a breeding population in such an environment.

Animals known to dwell within human habitations include house mice, cockroaches, house centipedes

题型难度分析：

这篇文章的难度比第一篇的难度更高，除了细节配对和填空题之外，还有人名观点配对题，双配对题使得这篇文章的难度非常高。

题型技巧分析：

建议考生在做雅思人名观点配对题时不需要看完全篇再去做题，而是可以采用定位法去有的放矢的解决，这样既快捷高效地完成了阅读任务，也不再对阅读中的搭配题感到棘手和害怕了。今天要和考生们一起探讨的是如何处理有关人名观点配对中，人名多次出现的试题。

一、考题要点

A. 人名观点配对一般考察的是某个人的言论(statement)、观点(opinion)、评论(comment)、发现(findings or discoveries)。这样，一般这个题的答案在文中就只有两个答案区：

1. 人名边上的引号里面的内容;

2. 人名+ think/say/claim/argue/believe/report/find/discover/insist/admit/report...+that 从句。

B. 人名在文中一般以以下方式出现：

1. 全称(full name), 如：Brian Waldron

2. 名(first name), 不常见

3. 姓(surname), 如：Professor Smith

4. He/she(在同一段话中，该人再次出现时，用指示代词替代)

因此，建议考生去文中找人名时，应该将上述四种情况均考虑进去。再者，应该谨记在心的是：如果一个人名在一段话中出现N次，也只能算一次。如果一个人名在N段话中出现，就算N次。

C. 该题的答案遍布于全文。因此应该从文章的开头往后依次寻找人名。

D. 该题貌似是全篇文章的考察，其实考察的就是这些人所说的几句话。故应先从文中找人名，再去找答案。
