IB经济HL阶段比SL难度上升了不少,因此更需要扎实的练习来巩固知识。本文就来分享一道大题的IB经济真题答案和解析,教你如何拆解每个小问,争取把分数都拿到。
在看具体的IB经济真题答案前,我们先来了解一下经济这门课。
IB经济学的题型结构并不复杂,主要为选择题与简答题。选择题共三十道,每道四个选项。简答题会给你几段短文,让你在阅读后回答以下的小题,其中常见的小题为:“Define the term ‘x’ indicated in bold in the text.”即给文中名词下定义,考考生的记忆能力。
其他小题如:“Using information from the text/data and your knowledge of economics, evaluate the possible consequences for the Brazilian economy of the fall in the value of the Brazilian real.” 则偏向于利用经济学知识进行分析思考,考考生的思维能力。
IB经济想拿高分,必须建立在广泛的阅读和积极的课堂参与的基础上。通过阅读掌握扎实的理论基础,而后课堂上的讨论、辩论和练习可以进一步加深对基本知识的理解,形成坚实的推理基础。
