在雅思听力考试中，单选题是必考题型，但很多同学对于雅思听力的单选题抱有一种恐惧心理，尤其是part 3的单选题，又长又难，成为考生冲的一个绊脚石。但其实单选题也是一个有规律，有高频逻辑考点的一种题型。像是很多同学都知道的并列关系都不能选的规律就非常好用，其实还有否定结构，转折出重点，相似选项出答案等等。
今天开封环球雅思学校就给大家介绍大家不怎么熟悉却非常好用的逻辑考点：比较级考点(more..than;better than).这个逻辑考点大家掌握后，能帮助大家轻松搞定part3。
先给大家看一个例题(剑桥12,test6,part 3,question22-以下简称12-6-3)
22.when he graduates,james would like to
a.take a postgraduate course.
b.work in the media.
c.become a translator.
首先，我们看到题干“when he graduates”作为时间限定，然后选项为毕业后想做的事情。a为继续深造，bc都是工作，只是想做的职业不同。
然后我们来听原文的描述:
tutor:“do you have any plans for when you graduate?a lot of students go on to take a master’s degree.”
james:”i think the four years of undergraduate course will be enough for me.i’m interested in journalism,and i quite like the idea of moving to scandinavian and writing for magazines.i’d find that more creative than translating,which i suppose most graduates do.”
在听这段音频中，根据题干人称定位我们确定重点要听james的声音，所以当tutor提及master‘s degree的时候我们需要对a.take a postgraduate course打一个问号。然后当james的声音出现时，我们要确定的个信息就是他是否赞同老师的意见。”i think the four years of undergraduate course will be enough for me“通过这句话我们明白他并不想继续学习，所以排除a。然后我们就听到了”i’m interested in journalism-我对传媒学感兴趣”,这时认识journalism的同学就能选出b,因为journalism替换了media.但是如果不认识journalism的同学还可以通过后面的“i’d find that more creative than translating-我觉得这比翻译更有创意”来排除c。在这个题中我们就可以过这个”b is more creative than c“的结构来排除c选项。
接下来，我们继续再看一个例子，还是在这一篇文章中的第25题：
25 beth recommends that james’s paper should be
a.a historical overview of the genre.
b.an in-depth analysis of a single writer.
c.a study of the social background to the literature.
首先题干定位次为”beth”,“james’s paper”确定重点要听女声，然后长选项纵向分析选项找出三个都是of从属结构，区别主语部分分别是“genre”,”single writer”及”literature”.
然后我们来看听力原文：
beth：“first i suggest you avoid taking one writer and going into a great deal of detail.that approach certainly has its place,”听到这我们可以通过avoid这个否定词，排除b.single writer。然后继续听：”
but i think you first need to get understanding of the literature in the context of the society in which it was produced...i also think that’s more fruitful than placing it within the history of the genre”.再后半段中我们先听到了c中的literature,紧接着又听到了”
that’s more fruitful than...genre-比研究genre更有成果”,因此我们推理出比起a，老师更推荐选c。
通过这两个例子，我们就得出一个好用的逻辑点，如果听到more...than...的结构，而中间的词是表优点”creative/fruitful/time-saving/useful/straightforward/precise”等形容词时，我们就可以排除后提及的内容，而选择more..than之前提及的内容为答案。
类似的结构还有better，如11-3-1中第30题：
30 what will lisa and greg do next?
a talk to a professor
b observe a science class
c look at the science timetable
听力原文：“right,what do we need to do next?we could have a look at the timetable for the science class..or perhaps we should just make an appointment to see one of the science professors.that’d be better.
在原文中先提及了b，后提及了a,而紧接着的that'd be better中that指代的是professor.因此选择a为答案。
虽然part3内容多又臭又长，很难做到听懂每一句话，但是希望这些小tips能够帮到大家轻松排除陷阱，选对答案。
