Part four: how to answer yes/no/not given questions.
第四部分:如何回答是/否/答案未给出的问题。
So, you've seen how to answer some true/false/not given questions.
至此，大家已经了解了如何回答一些正确/错误/答案未给出的问题。
Now we'll look at some yes/no/not given questions.
现在，我们来讲一些是/否/答案未给出的问题。
Remember, you can approach these in the same way.
请记住一点，大家可以用同样的方法处理这种情况。
The only difference is that yes/no/not given questions may also include the writer's opinions.
唯一的区别是，是/否/答案未给出的问题也可以包括作者的观点。
Here's a text. Pause the video to read it if you need extra time.
这是一个文章。如果你需要多一点的时间阅读，可以暂停一下视频。
"Wainwright's, established in 1863, are now among the leading exporters of glass tankards and other glass products anywhere in the Northern hemisphere.
成立于1863年的温赖特公司如今是北半球玻璃啤酒杯和其他玻璃产品的主要出口商之一。
Although not immediately profitable, the company, now based in Chicago, has grown prodigiously into a brand
虽然没有立即盈利，但这家总部位于芝加哥的公司已经发展成为一个品牌，
whose elegant receptacles are widely sought after and admired by many.
其精美的花托更是受到许多人的追捧和赞赏。
"Alright? Here's your first statement: "Wainwright's success was instantaneous." 'Instantaneous' has the same meaning as 'immediate'.
“看完了吗？这是你的第一个任务:“温赖特公司的成功是一蹴而就的。”“Instantaneous（瞬时）”与“immediate（立即）”的含义相同。
We know Wainwright's brand is now sought after (well-known and wanted by people), but also that it was not immediately profitable.
我们知道温赖特的品牌现在很受追捧（很有名，颇受人们喜爱），但该公司并没有立即盈利。
The statement says 'instantaneous success', but our text says Wainwright's wasn't immediately profitable.
问题里说“成功是一蹴而就的”，但我们的文章说温赖特的公司并没有立即盈利。
If a company isn't profitable, is it a success? No.
如果一个公司没有盈利，那算成功吗？不算。
So, you should choose ‘no.' Question number two: "Wainwright's is one of the leading exporters in North America."
所以，你应该选择“否”。第二个问题：“温赖特公司是北美主要的出口商之一。”
The text tells us Wainwright's is one of the leading exporters of glass tankards and products in the northern hemisphere, which includes North America.
文中告诉我们，温赖特是北半球(包括北美)玻璃啤酒杯和产品的主要出口商之一。
However, the statement just says 'leading exporters', while the text says leading exporters of glass tankards and other glass products.
然而，题目中只提到了“主要出口商”，而文章说的是玻璃啤酒杯和其他玻璃产品的主要出口商。
So, we know that Wainwright's is a leading exporter in one particular area, but we don't know if it's one of the biggest exporters overall.
所以，我们了解到温赖特公司是某一特定领域的主要出口商，但没有提到其是不是整个行业最大的出口商之一。
What should we choose in this situation? The correct answer is ‘not given'.
在这种情况下我们应该选择什么？正确答案是“没有给出答案”。
There's nothing in the text which tells you how Wainwright's compares to other companies in different sectors.
文中并没有提到温赖特公司与不同行业的其他公司相比较的内容。
Question number three: "Wainwright's was founded in Chicago." What is this statement asking us?
第三个问题：“温赖特公司是在芝加哥成立的。”这个题目是在考察什么？
The text tells us Wainwright's is based in Chicago now, but does that mean it started in Chicago?
文章告诉我们温赖特公司的总部现在位于芝加哥，但这是否意味着它是在芝加哥成立的？
If it is now based in Chicago, that means it was set up somewhere else, otherwise why would the text use the word 'now'?
如果总部现在位于芝加哥，那就意味着可能是在其他地方成立的，否则为什么文本会使用“现在”这个词？
The answer must be no.
答案肯定是否定的。
Our last question: "Many people own Wainwright's glass products." Okay, let's focus on the word 'own' here.
最后一个问题:“很多人都拥有温赖特的玻璃产品。”好吧，我们来分析一下“own”这个词。
The text tells you the tankards are admired and sought after by many people, which suggests that they are popular products.
这篇文章告诉我们，啤酒杯受到很多人追捧和青睐，这一点可以说明它们是受欢迎的产品。
We also know that the company is successful, which also strongly suggests that many people buy and own their products.
我们也知道公司经营地很成功，这也强烈地表明，许多人购买和持有他们公司的产品。
However, does it say anything about people owning Wainwright's products? Remember that ‘suggests' is not enough.
然而，这是否说明人们拥有温赖特的产品？要记住，仅仅“暗示”是不够充分的。
We need something concrete in the text that tells us that many people own Wainwright's glass products.
我们需要一些具体的信息来判断，很多人拥有温赖特的玻璃产品。
There isn't anything like that in the text, so we should select ‘not given.' Part 5: final tips.
文本中没有类似的东西，因此我们应该选择' 答案未给出'。第五部分:最后的建议。
Hopefully you are feeling a little more confident answering true/false/not given and yes/no/not given questions.
希望你在回答正确/错误/答案未给出以及是/否/答案未给出的问题时感觉更有信心。
Here are just a few more things to remember:
以下有几点需要注意:
1. There will always be at least one true, one false and one not given answer.
1. 至少有一个题目是正确的，一个题目是错误的，还有一个题目是没有给出答案的。
If you are missing one, one answer has to be wrong.
如果你漏掉了其中一个，那么肯定有一个答案是答错了的。
The same is true for yes/no/not given questions: there will always be at least one of each answer.
同理，关于是/否/答案未给出的问题：每个答案都至少有一项。
2. If you aren't sure, or you can't find an answer, put ‘not given'.
2. 如果你不确定，或者找不到答案，那就选择“答案未给出”。
You don't have a lot of time for this exam.
考试的时间有限。
Don't spend all your time looking for an answer that isn't there.
不要把所有的时间都浪费在寻找不存在的答案。
3. Answer all the questions! Never leave blank spaces, even if you're running out of time or you have no idea.
3.回答所有的问题!永远不要留下空白，即使你没有时间或者你不知道。
You have a one in three chance of guessing correctly, so always put an answer for every question.
你有三分之一的机会猜对答案，所以每个问题都要写上答案。
Well, that's all from me.
好了，这就是本堂课的全部内容。
