A) 用于判断题型中，例：

a) T: Most forms of environmental pollution are associated withindustrialization.

Q: Industrialization has led to pollution problems.剑桥雅思听力

此题中题目与原文都含有因果关系，且因果相同，仅是同义词组替换罢了。

b) T: Los Angeles has some of the world’s cleanest cars—far better thanthose of Europe—but the total number of miles those cars drive continues togrow.

Q: Residents of Los Angeles are now tending to reduce the yearly distancesthey travel by car.

此题原文转折词but所连接后面的内容continues to grow与问题中的考点tending to reduce形成语义矛盾。

C) T: The traditional images of the “male breadwinner” and “femalehousewife and mother” may be breaking down among females but this process isoccurring more slowly among males.

Q: Men accept changing perceptions of traditional gender roles more slowlythan women do.

此题是一道明显的有关双方比较的题(more than 结构)此外，该句还存在明显同义词及词组的替换如：

perceptions对应images, traditional gender roles 对应“male breadwinner” and“female housewife and mother”，man对应male, woman对应female.题干中的比较点及比较结果与原文判断一致。
