我们已经讲过了通常使用两种方法来解决排除列举题，并详细例证了第一种方法，接下来我们要具体分析第二种方法。

  第二，从选项出发到原文中定位排除。当在原文中找不到明显的并列内容，或者原文的段落很长选项也很长，或者通过题干关键词无法定位的话，我们就会选择用选项到原文中进行定位，一一排除正确选项，选出错误选项。通过选项进行定位时还是要根据我们之前在细节题中讲过的定位方法进行定位。下面我们来看一个具体的例子。

  Paragraph1: The greater Pacific region, traditionally called Oceania, consists of three cultural areas: Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. Melanesia, in the southwest Pacific, contains the large islands of New Guinea, the Solomons, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia. Micronesia, the area north of Melanesia, consists primarily of small scattered islands. Polynesia is the central Pacific area in the great triangle defined by Hawaii, Easter Island, and New Zealand. Before the arrival of Europeans, the islands in the two largest cultural areas, Polynesia and Micronesia, together contained a population estimated at 700,000.

  1. According to paragraph 1, all of the following are true statements about Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia EXCEPT:

  A, Collectively, these regions are traditionally known as Oceania.

  B, These islands of Micronesia are small and spread out.

  C, Hawaii, Easter Island, and New Zealand mark the boundaries of Polynesia.

  D, Melanesia is situated to the north of Micronesia.

  解析：本题题干中有三个地点，但是我们粗略扫描本段发现全文都在讲这3个地点，关键词太泛，由此根据选项定位更为合适。A选项根据Oceania定位至原文第一句，跟选项对应，A排除;B和D选项共同可以利用 Micronesia定位至第三句，发现原文说的是Mi在Me的北面，D选项正好与原文相反，所以就可以选出答案D。C选项根据 Polynesia定位至原文第四句，选项跟原文一致，C也排除。因此最终答案选D。
