在考研英语二试卷中，新题型主要由两种题型组成——标题内容匹配题(又称小标题)和信息匹配题(也叫匹配题)。今天我们来着重讲一讲信息匹配题。

信息匹配题要求考生在一篇450-550的文章中，在阅读后根据文章的内容，在试题栏左边一栏中的内容，和右侧一栏中7个选项相对应(多为人物与其观点的对应)。难度其实不是很大，主要考察了我们考生的快速定位和理解能力。面对这一道题时，我们可以运用如下技巧来进行解题：

1. 拿到题目，标号段落，注意不要把题目中的英文说明(directions)标上段落;

2. 将题目框左侧的信息(多为人名)在文章中定位同时标注题号;

3. 浏览选项，勾画名词短语

4. 从题干中人物出现少的题目入手，和文章中相应的定位句进行对比，一般有同义替换

和原题复现可以帮助匹配选项。

下面，我们就以2019年的英语二这道信息匹配题为例，进行详细的讲解和说明：

Directions:

Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A–G for each of the numbered paragraphs (41–45). There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)

The decline in American manufacturing is a common refrain, particularly from Donald Trump. "We don't make anything anymore," he told Fox News, while defending his own made-in-Mexico clothing line.

Without question, manufacturing has taken a significant hit during recent decades, and further trade deals raise questions about whether new shocks could hit manufacturing.

But there is also a different way to look at the data.

Across the country, factory owners are now grappling with a new challenge: instead of having too many workers, they may end up with too few. Despite trade competition and outsourcing, American manufacturing still needs to replace tens of thousands of retiring boomers every years. Millennials may not be that interested in taking their place, other industries are recruiting them with similar or better pay.

For factory owners, it all adds up to stiff competition for workers-and upward pressure on wages. "They're harder to find and they have job offers," says 41 Jay Dunwell, president of Wolverine Coil Spring, a family-owned firm, "They may be coming [into the workforce], but they've been plucked by other industries that are also doing an well as manufacturing," Mr. Dunwell has begun bringing high school juniors to the factory so they can get exposed to its culture.

At RoMan Manufacturing, a maker of electrical transformers and welding equipment that his father cofounded in 1980, Robert Roth keep a close eye on the age of his nearly 200 workers, five are retiring this year. Mr. Roth has three community-college students enrolled in a work-placement program, with a starting wage of $13 an hour that rises to $17 after two years.

At a worktable inside the transformer plant, young 42 Jason Stenquist looks flustered by the copper coils he's trying to assemble and the arrival of two visitors. It's his first week on the job. Asked about his choice of career, he says at high school he considered medical school before switching to electrical engineering. "I love working with tools. I love creating." he says.

But to win over these young workers, manufacturers have to clear another major hurdle: parents, who lived through the worst US economic downturn since the Great Depression, telling them to avoid the factory. Millennials "remember their father and mother both were laid off. They blame it on the manufacturing recession," says 43 Birgit Klohs, chief executive of The Right Place, a business development agency for western Michigan.

These concerns aren't misplaced: Employment in manufacturing has fallen from 17 million in 1970 to 12 million in 2013. When the recovery began, worker shortages first appeared in the high-skilled trades. Now shortages are appearing at the mid-skill levels.

"The gap is between the jobs that take to skills and those that require a lot of skill," says 44 Rob Spohr, a business professor at Montcalm Community College. "There're enough people to fill the jobs at McDonalds and other places where you don't need to have much skill. It's that gap in between, and that's where the problem is."

45 Julie Parks of Grand Rapids Community points to another key to luring Millennials into manufacturing: a work/life balance. While their parents were content to work long hours, young people value flexibility. "Overtime is not attractive to this generation. They really want to live their lives," she says.

[A] says that he switched to electrical engineering because he loves working with tools。

[B] points out that there are enough people to fill the jobs that don’t need much skill。

[C] points out that the US doesn’t manufacture anything anymore。

[D] believes that it is important to keep a close eye on the age of his workers。

[E] says that for factory owners， workers are harder to find because of stiff competition。

[F] points out that a work/life balance can attract young people into manufacturing。

[G] says that the manufacturing recession is to blame for the lay-off the young people’s parents。

41. Jay Deuwell　42. Jason Stenquist 　43. Birgit Klohs　　44. Rob Spohr 　　45.Julie Parks

首先，在拿到题目后我们先进行段落标注，本文段落较多，共11段，每个段落比较精短。

其次，我们将上面的题目栏中的人名在文章中标好，并标上题号，如下所示：

41. Jay Deuwell 第五段 Mr.Dunwell 第五段

42. Jason Stenquist 第七段 he’s.... his....his..he ....he...第七段(指代不能忽视)

43. Birgit Klohs　第八段

44. Rob Spohr 第十段

45. Julie Parks 第十一段

46.

在标注完人名之后我们发现，这篇文章只有一个名字出现了两次以上。所以，我们解题顺序可以是(41. 43. 44. 45. 42)。
