烤鸭必读：雅思阅读数字题技巧

　　举例:　Q 5 / T 1 / Cambridge 5

　　… Johnson did not have a 5_________ available to him, but eventually produced definitions of inexcess of 40,000 words written down in 80 large notebooks.

　　由题目中出现的数字40，000 可以定位到原文中page 17 的第二段Line 4:

　　Johnson wrote the definitions of over 40,000 words, and illustrated their many meanings…

　　返回到句首：The work was immense: filling about eighty large notebooks (and without a library to hand), 再由题目分析得知：所需答案为可数名词，并且是Johnson 在编撰词典的工作中不具备的(did not … available),而文中括号里‘without a library to hand’正好契合了该信息点，还有a 这个信号词进一步确定，答案就非它莫属了：library.

　　在雅思阅读题中,数字的出现会非常的显眼,这也会让我们在做题时能够快速的找到出题点,做题的速度与正确率需要在平时的训练中逐渐练习.
