情况五：因果关系的题目，如果其中一个关键词与原文对应，另一个关键词原文不存在，

答案多为FALSE。

在因果关系的题目中，题目经常将原文中原因换掉，导致题目错误，而很多学员在原文没有找到题目关键词会盲目选择未提及。因果关系词汇due to、result in、result from、lead to、because of、attribute to等。

真题实例：《剑桥雅思真题4》Test2 Passage1 Question10

【题目】The Navajo language will die out because it currently has too few speakers.

【原文】Navajo is considered endangered despite having 150,000 speakers.What makes a language endangered is not just the number of speakers,but how old they are.

解题思路：

题目凭借关键词Navajo language轻松定位。原文强调见瓦霍语尽管有15万使用者，但濒临灭绝的原因更多的是因为使用者的年纪，而不仅仅是数量。题目却说见瓦霍语将会灭绝的原因是因为使用者太少。很明显，与原文强调的原因不一致，答案为FALSE。

《剑桥雅思真题7》Test3 Passage3 Question28

【题目】Problems in Nordic countries were excluded because they are outside the European Economic Community.

【原文】Those confined to particular geographical areas, such as countries the Mediterranean or the Nordic countries therefore had to be discarded . However, this does not mean that in future they will be ignored.

解题思路：

题目凭借关键词“Nordic”轻松定位。原文中只有关键词Nordic（北欧的）与题目对应，而关键词European Economic Community全文并未出现，此时烤鸭们容易误选NOT GIVEN。但原文强调因为地理位置的原因，因此将北欧的森林问题丢弃，而非因为题目强调的在欧洲经济委员会之外，题目与原文的排除原因不同，答案为FALSE。

《剑桥雅思真题8》Test1 Passage2 Question20

【题目】The FAA was created as a result of the introduction of the jet engine.

【原文】An accident that occurred in the skies over the Grand Canyon in 1956 resulted in the establishment of the Federal Aviation Administration（FAA）to regulate and oversee the operation in the skies over the United States,which were becoming quite congested.

解题思路：

此题凭借关键词“FAA”轻松定位。同上一题思路一致，原文中只有关键词FAA与题目对应，并没有题目中的关键词jet engine，但原文强调是空难事故导致了FAA的建立，而非发动机的引进，因此也属于题目与原文原因不同，答案为FALSE。
