main idea = 主旨
这一题问整篇文章在讲什么。六个段落分别讲这项运动多刺激、从哪里开始、第一届残奥会、比赛规则、今天有多少人玩,以及在哪里看下一届比赛,所以是关于轮椅篮球的各种资料。文章没有专门介绍某一位球员,也不是讲马来西亚篮球队的历史。
例子: The text gives different information about one sport. 文章介绍一种运动的各种资料。
注意: 选主旨时,要选能包括所有段落的答案。
main idea = idea utama
Soalan ini bertanya tentang isi seluruh teks. Setiap perenggan membincangkan perkara yang berbeza: betapa menariknya sukan ini, tempat sukan ini bermula, Sukan Paralimpik pertama, peraturan permainan, bilangan pemain hari ini dan tempat menonton pertandingan seterusnya. Pilih jawapan yang merangkumi semua perenggan, bukan satu perenggan sahaja.
Contoh: The text gives different information about one sport. — Teks itu memberikan pelbagai maklumat tentang satu sukan.
Awas: Idea utama mesti sesuai dengan semua perenggan dalam teks.

find the paragraph = 找段落
第一、二题:今天有多少人玩,要找数字十万,在第五段;第一次比赛的年份是一九四六年,在第二段。找段落时,先想想要找的是数字、年份还是地方,再看哪一段有这个资料。
例子: Paragraph E says about 100,000 people play it. 第五段说大约十万人玩这项运动。
find the paragraph = cari perenggan
Untuk soalan satu dan dua, fikirkan jenis maklumat yang perlu dicari. Bilangan orang yang bermain hari ini ialah nombor yang besar, manakala pertandingan pertama ditandai dengan tahun. Sebelum memilih perenggan, tentukan sama ada kamu mencari nombor, tahun atau tempat, kemudian imbas teks untuk mencari maklumat tersebut.
Contoh: About 100,000 people play this game today. — Kira-kira 100,000 orang bermain permainan ini hari ini.

注意: 罗马是城市,意大利是国家。
scan for places = cari tempat
Bagi soalan tiga dan empat, satu soalan bertanya tentang tempat Sukan Paralimpik pertama, dan satu lagi tentang bilangan pemain dalam satu pasukan. Nama bandar dan negara bermula dengan huruf besar, jadi mudah dicari. Bilangan pemain pula termasuk dalam peraturan permainan. Teks boleh ditatal ke atas dan ke bawah, jadi baca semuanya dahulu.
Contoh: The first Olympic Games were in Athens. — Sukan Olimpik pertama diadakan di Athens.
Awas: Rome ialah nama bandar, manakala Italy ialah nama negara.

例子: Paragraph C lists basketball, swimming, archery and table tennis. 第三段列出篮球、游泳、射箭和乒乓球。
same paragraph twice = perenggan yang sama
Soalan lima bertanya sukan apakah yang ada dalam Sukan Paralimpik pertama. Cari perenggan yang menyebut jumlah sukan dan nama beberapa sukan. Perenggan itu mungkin sudah digunakan untuk soalan yang lain. Tidak mengapa, kerana satu perenggan boleh menjadi jawapan lebih daripada sekali dalam latihan ini.
Contoh: There were eight sports at the first games. — Terdapat lapan jenis sukan dalam temasya pertama itu.

true or false = 对或错
第一、二题:第一段说这项运动又快、又吵、又刺激,所以“很慢”是错的;第二段说最早的球员是在战争中受伤的士兵,所以第二题是对的。判断时一定要回到文章找证据。
例子: The first players were soldiers. 第一批球员是士兵。
true or false = betul atau salah
Untuk soalan satu dan dua, kembali kepada teks dan cari bukti. Perenggan pertama menerangkan rasa sukan ini, sama ada laju atau perlahan, bising atau senyap. Perenggan kedua menceritakan pemain yang pertama dan bagaimana mereka mula bermain. Bandingkan setiap ayat soalan dengan ayat dalam teks sebelum memilih betul atau salah.
Contoh: The match was fast, loud and exciting. — Perlawanan itu laju, bising dan menyeronokkan.

place and country = 地点和国家
第三、四题:第三段说第一届残奥会在意大利罗马举行,不在美国,所以第三题错;美国只是这项运动开始的地方。同一段列出的运动包括游泳,所以第四题对。
例子: Swimming was one of the eight sports. 游泳是八种运动之一。
注意: 美国是运动开始的地方,不是残奥会的地点。
place and country = tempat dan negara
Soalan tiga dan empat menguji tempat dan senarai sukan. Baca perenggan tentang Sukan Paralimpik pertama dengan teliti. Ingat bahawa tempat sukan ini bermula tidak semestinya sama dengan tempat temasya pertama diadakan. Kemudian semak senarai sukan dalam perenggan yang sama untuk soalan empat.
Contoh: Archery was one of the eight sports. — Memanah ialah salah satu daripada lapan sukan itu.
Awas: Tempat sukan ini bermula dan tempat Sukan Paralimpik pertama ialah dua perkara yang berbeza.

compare details = 比较细节
第五、六题:第四段说篮框高三点零五米,规则和一般篮球一样,文章没有说比较低,所以第五题错;第五段说今天很多国家都有人玩,马来西亚也有,所以第六题对。
例子: The hoop is 3.05 metres high. 篮框高三点零五米。
compare details = bandingkan butiran
Bagi soalan lima dan enam, bandingkan butiran dengan teliti. Perenggan tentang peraturan menyebut ketinggian jaring dan sama ada peraturan itu sama dengan bola keranjang biasa. Perenggan seterusnya menerangkan berapa banyak negara bermain sukan ini hari ini. Jangan meneka; pastikan teks benar-benar menyatakan perkara itu.
Contoh: The rules are the same as normal basketball. — Peraturannya sama dengan bola keranjang biasa.

注意: 年份前面用 in.
short answer = jawapan pendek
Untuk soalan satu dan dua, soalan Where memerlukan jawapan tempat, manakala soalan When memerlukan jawapan masa. Cari perenggan tentang permulaan sukan ini dan perenggan tentang Sukan Paralimpik pertama. Jawapan pendek sudah memadai; kamu tidak perlu menulis ayat penuh, cukup beberapa perkataan sahaja.
Contoh: When did the match start? At four o’clock. — Bilakah perlawanan itu bermula? Pada pukul empat.
