Key takeaways
Part 2 tests whether you grasp the core of individual sections of a demanding factual article and locate statements correctly. You match statements to the numbered text sections. One statement is given as an example, two statements fit no section.
It’s about precise detail and global comprehension: what is the central information of each section? The statements are paraphrased, not literal. You must find the right spot, not just a shared word.
The difficulty: the sections treat the same topic, and two statements fit none. Grasp each section at its core. Every correct match scores points; wrong answers are not penalized.
Read each text section and summarize its core in one keyword.
Read the first statement and consider which section it fits.
In the matching section, find the spot that confirms the statement.
Keep in mind that two statements fit no section.
Compare similar sections especially carefully.
Transfer your answers to the answer sheet in good time.
A short example in the same format: match the statement to the right section.
Abschnitt A: „Ein begrenzter Anbau von Energiepflanzen kann die Abhängigkeit von Öl-Importen teilweise verringern." Abschnitt B: „Aus Algen gewonnene Energie trägt nach neuen Studien am wenigsten zum Treibhauseffekt bei."
Which section fits “Pflanzen können zu einer teilweisen Eigenständigkeit in der Energieversorgung führen”? (a) Abschnitt A · (b) Abschnitt B
Why? Section A says that energy crops “teilweise verringern” the dependence on imports – that corresponds to partial self-sufficiency. Section B treats the greenhouse effect.
