雅思阅读中抽象名词多出现在配对题中，重点考察同义替换：语气、词性和范围的替换，比如：
一、语气的替换
C6T1P2中14题:
14. a suggestion for improving trade in the future
定位词future表示将来，可以对应would do等虚拟语气，所以可以定位到尾短的最后一句话。
“Bring these barriers down would help the world’s economies grow ever closer.”(C6T1P2)
二、词性替换
C6T2P3中29题
29. In seventh-century Europe, the ability to count to a certain number
题目中的ability可以变换为词组be able to do，可以对应原文第四段最后一句
“In fact, to qualify as a witness in a count of law a man had to be able to count to nine!”(C6T2P3)
成为一个目击证人需要有能数到9的能力，本句中的witness也是抽象名词，需要理解为人的意思，看选项只有A和B提到了人
A. was necessary in order to fulfill a civic role.
B. was necessary when people begin farming.
但B项的farming没有提到，所以答案可以锁定为A。
三、范围的替换
C8T1P3中27题
27. Researchers with differing attitudes towards telepathy agree on.
题目中用researchers和differing attitudes定位，researchers可以找到人，但attitudes这个抽象名词如何定位呢？
可以理解为不同态度的人，也可以是不同观点的人，观点分为支持和反对的人，则可以替换为支持者和反对者，根据这个原则，可以定位到第二段第三行的sceptics and advocates，需要注意advocate这个词有名词，支持者的意思，所以找到原文对应句
“Sceptics and advocates alike do concur on one issue, however: that the most impressive evidence so far has come from the so-called ‘ganzfeld’ experiment.”
对应选项E the significance of ganzfeld experiments.
