Unit 06
Reading Comprehension (Questions 54–68)
academic passages: main idea, detail, inference, author's attitude
Mixed Fields
In the real exam, all texts come from the field you chose. Here the questions mix Social, Health and Natural Sciences so that you can practise all three; the field units of this section focus on one field each.
Reading Academic Texts Quickly
- Read the question stems before the passage, so you know what to look for.
- Mark signal words: however, in contrast (a change of direction), therefore, as a result (a conclusion), for example (a detail).
- Hedging words show the author's caution: may, suggest, it is possible that, remains unclear. An option that turns these into certainties is wrong.
