▍領思閱讀測驗長篇閱讀題考什麼？
長篇閱讀題型在各類英語考試中非常常見，主要用來測試考生對文章整體的理解能力。
常見的長篇閱讀題目類型有：

3. 文意推理判斷：
測驗考生根據文章上下文線索，判斷文章內容隱含的訊息、或是作者的態度立場的能力，範例如下：

A. mostly positive about their experiences.
B. mostly negative about their experiences.
C. neither very positive nor very negative about their experiences.
4. 邏輯關係分析：
測驗考生是否理解文章段落或句子間的邏輯關係（例如：因果、對比、補充），範例如下：

▍領思長篇閱讀題解題攻略
以下分享三個領思英檢長篇閱讀題的解題攻略：
攻略一：依題目順序作答
小編想特別提醒各位：領思英檢的聽力和閱讀題目「答案出現的順序和題目順序是一致的」，且通常會平均分散在各段落之中，因此考生們可以放心依序作答，不會出現必須回原文中跳來跳去找答案的狀況。就算出現答案的順序有顛倒，通常也都在內文上下非常接近的位置，因此不會讓考生陷入茫茫大海撈針找答案的窘境。
Tips：
因為作答時間有限，小編推薦考生可以用「先讀題目、再回原文找答案」的方式來答題，如此一來，考生較可以在短時間內掌握題目需要的資訊，快速在原文中找到答案。
一起來看看題目範例：
題目：
1. According to the writer, the best time to do more difficult work is
A. early in the day after a good night’s sleep.
B. late in the evening when it is quiet.
C. different for each person.
2. What may be the result of eating large meals?
A. It might be difficult to think about work later.
B. You will have more time for working.
C. You can sleep better at night.
原文：
First, know when to work. When are you most awake? When are you sleepy? Some people work better at night, others first thing in the morning. You should do creative work or complicated work when you are at your best. When you’re not at your best, you should do jobs which don’t need a lot of thinking, like reading emails or calling a colleague.
Second, eat and sleep well to work well. Have you ever had a large lunch and felt so sleepy that you couldn’t think? It’s better to eat small amounts of food several times a day than to eat two or three large meals. A large meal at night can have a bad effect on your sleep quality and on your ability to think. It’s important to not only get enough sleep but to also get good quality sleep.
解析：
第一段主要討論何時適合工作，原文提到每個人清醒和想睡覺的時間不同，因此看個人，故答案為C。第二段討論大家需要吃好睡好才能好好工作。並討論到吃大餐會影響人們的睡眠品質和思考力，因此答案為A。
攻略二：尋找關鍵字 (key words)
想在長篇閱讀題中拿到分數，透過關鍵字找尋答案線索將是順利解題作答的關鍵。考生可以先瀏覽題目及各個答案選項，統整出重點關鍵字，並回原文中搜尋與題目相關聯、或有相同含意的詞語或語句。
Tips：
日期、數字、專有名詞等具體字詞，或是連接轉折之處常是答案出現的地方，可以優先搜尋這類訊息，加快解題速度。
一起來看看題目範例：
題目：
Which ban does Jonti agree with?
A. not being allowed to play Scrabble
B. not being allowed to have chewing gum
C. not being allowed to dance after midnight
原文：
…Do you know which country bans chewing gum? That’s right, it’s Singapore. A law that I personally totally support. …
解析：
考生可以從題目得知需要回原文找尋的關鍵字是和ban (禁令)有關，且是作者支持的禁令 (agree with)，因此可以回原文先找到ban和agree with，或是含意相關的詞彙如：ban=forbidden/prevent… from doing…；agree with=support/have the same opinion等，且題目要求考生找到作者支持的禁令，因此答案是C。
攻略三：掌握「換句話說」(paraphrasing)
在英檢考試的閱讀測驗中，「換句話說」是常見的出題方式，考生需要具備辨識同義表達的能力，才能準確理解題目與選項之間的關聯，並選出正確的答案。這種出題方式通常用來測試考生對於同義詞、句型轉換以及句子結構的熟悉程度，並確認考生是否真正理解文章內容，而非僅僅依靠一個個獨立的單字來猜測涵意。
Tips：
備考練習時，考生可多閱讀英語文章(新聞、報章雜誌文章等)，觀察不同表達方式的使用，提升對語意轉換的敏感度。
一起來看看題目範例：
題目：
When the guest arrived,
A. the car park was full.
B. nobody offered to carry her bags.
C. there were not enough lights outside.
原文：
I arrived quite late at night. The car park wasn’t very big and I was worried it would be full with other guests’ cars. But the porter came out, said ‘Good evening, madam’ and showed me where to park, before helping me with my suitcase. It was quite dark in the car park, with only two lights by the entrance, so it was hard to see where I was going.
解析：
選項 A：the car park was full
原文提到「The car park wasn’t very big and I was worried it would be full」，但並未說明車位真的停滿，且最終她成功停車，因此這個選項不正確。
選項 B：nobody offered to carry her bags
原文清楚提到「the porter came out… before helping me with my suitcase」，表明行李得到了幫助，因此這個選項不正確。
選項 C：there were not enough lights outside
原文提到「It was quite dark in the car park, with only two lights by the entrance, so it was hard to see where I was going」，其中quite dark、only two lights、hard to see等關鍵字已暗示讀者作者認為「燈光不足」，此外only two lights又等同於題目中的not enough lights，符合選項描述，因此 C 是正確答案。
以上就是針對領思閱讀長篇閱讀題的解題攻略分享，希望有幫助到正在備考領思閱讀的各位！雖然長篇閱讀題可以透過解題技巧來突破，但考生的語言程度、字彙量、文法知識以及篇章理解能力同樣至關重要。如果在練習中始終無法在長篇閱讀題上取得理想的分數，建議務必回到基礎，多加強語言能力和閱讀訓練，這樣才能真正提升解題效率，並在考試中穩定發揮。如果想獲得更多領思備考相關資訊，歡迎前往並追蹤我們的「領思小撇步 Tips」專區囉！
