Goethe-Zertifikat B2 · Lesen · Teil 3
Lesen Sie einen längeren Artikel und wählen Sie zu jeder Aufgabe die richtige Lösung a, b oder c.
Six multiple-choice items on one newspaper article of around 500 words, three options each, and the items run in the order the text does. That ordering is the practical gift of this Teil: once you have answered item 3, item 4's answer is below it, never above.
All three options are built from words that appear in the text. What separates them is relation, not vocabulary: an option may attribute a finding to the wrong group, the wrong country or the wrong year; it may repeat an opinion the article quotes in order to reject it; or it may be perfectly true in the world and simply not claimed in the article. The correct option is a paraphrase — there is always at least one transformation between the text and the key.
So the habit worth building is to find the lines the item is about, then check each option against those lines specifically. An option that feels right because you agree with it is the one to distrust.
Yes. Item by item, the relevant passage moves down the article, which is why working through it linearly rather than hunting keywords is faster and safer.
Because they are written from the text's own vocabulary. The commonest traps are a quoted opinion the article goes on to refute, a fact shifted to the wrong group or period, and a statement that is generally true but not made in the article.
