雅思阅读教师谈阅读理解的备考方法

篇1：雅思阅读教师谈阅读理解的备考方法

雅思阅读教师谈阅读理解的备考方法

本人在当雅思阅读教师前，在大学时期看了大量的英语原著，在美国留学期间最大感受就是美国的研究生教育鼓励多看书，他们阅读量大，速度很快，提取信息速度也快。所以本人在此简单谈一谈提高雅思阅读的个人经验谈，希望对考生有用！

1 、在短时间内，学生不可能来得及记忆如此多的单词，有的单词没必要记，因为IELTS不同于GRE ，TOEFL，很多太专业的词汇要背也来不及，如”心肌梗塞”没几个学生会写用”heart disease”代表也可以了。

2、多看英文报，有些词在看报时会比特意去背更能记住，既便是China Daily的记者写作也会是IELTS8分的水平，9分少有。

3、新概念英语第2册的一些课文后的key structure 对写作非常有用。学生掌握好这些句式，无论是在考试还是在日常运用语言中都非常有帮助。

4、美国人自己单词量并不大，2-3千，但用法地道，中国学生英语语法较有优势，单词量也不少，但不会用。考生不必临急去背太生的单词，已经来不及了，用好原有的单词足够矣。

篇2：雅思阅读定位方法谈

雅思阅读定位方法谈：请给我一双慧眼or写轮眼

那么如果同学们定位定不到，到底是为什么呢?我认为有以下三个原因：

雅思阅读定位之真的缺乏一双发现的眼睛

这个应该是很多同学会比较头痛的问题，那是真的没有善于发现爱的眼睛啊。人家出题句就在那个地方，死都看不到，这也真的是醉醉了。其实，这就是在考察各位scanning的能力，我们所谓的scan是带着一个特殊的词或信息，在文中寻找，找到了停住即可，其他那些在寻找中所遇见的词或句子都是浮云，千万不要较真的一一读懂，浪费表情～

雅思阅读定位方法：scanning在生活中无处不在，你看航班，火车信息，其实都是在用scanning只是自己不知道而已，所以大家要好好的训练一下，定位词的选择不要出错(否则你看破大天也定不出来)。这里，刚刚提醒各位，我们雅思阅读中很多题目都是有顺序的，请千万不要犯倔，一定要从第一题定到最后一题，先定最好定位的，然后再根据顺序原则去推(把全文定位变为局部定位)

雅思阅读定位之碰到难题，定位词同义替换了

如果各位烤鸭对于雅思阅读的分数停留在7分以下，那么碰到这种定位词同义替换的题目，我只能说大家运气不好，一般这种情况都会发生在第三篇。那这种情况，其实不怪各位，你们的题干定位词都找对了，但就是在文中找不到，这个时候一定要有一个意识，也许定位词被同义替换了，

如：C10T1P3的第34题：Peopleworking under a dominant boss are liable to

这道题目我们的定位词用dominant boss 是没有问题的，可是你通篇去找你会发现根本找不到类似的词，这个时候我们发现，他就是定位词被同义替换了，大家看下下面这个出题段，看看同义替换成了什么?

没错，就是Authority，dominant boss就是支配型的老板，那么衍升一点就是有权利的老板，对应我们的Authority，所以这道题目的对应出题段就是文中的倒数第三段。碰到这种题目怎么办呢?

雅思阅读定位方法：同义替换的总结，这一定是不能偷懒的

另外，还是想说，把全文定位变为局部定位，各位如果从全文去找dominant boss这无疑是大海捞针，所以为什么不先做33题，然后做35题，然后根据顺序原则在35和33的中间去卡34的位置呢。这样加上前面对同义替换的准备，我们找起来，也会方便很多。

雅思阅读定位之不相信自己，总觉得自己是错的

这个问题，主要出现在判断题上。我们都知道判断题是有一个选项NG的，而NG的一种情况就是原文未提及。很多同学在做此类题目的时候，定位定不到就往死里定(有的时候我真的不怕你们定不到，而是怕你们凭想象力去定，天啊噜)。总觉得，自己定不到肯定是自己的问题。同学你这样真的好嘛?

雅思阅读定位方法：任何一种题型，一定有定位的突破口，找到它(也就是最好定位的题目)，先去定位，然后根据判断题的顺序原则去上下推测附近题目的出题范围(局部定位)，相信自己，如果没有找到，就大胆的选择NG(但千万不要选太多NG啊，一般6-7个判断题出2-3个NG)

最后刚刚想说的，定位是雅思考察的最基本的语言能力之一，这将在各位出国留学的时候起到非常大的作用，所以各位同学一定要注意这个问题。当然，大家也不要被刚刚上面说的给吓到了，雅思作为一门语言评测类考试，只要各位下功夫，多练习，多总结(当然要每天关注刚刚的推送啦)，是一定会有提高的。

雅思阅读素材积累：A Drier and Hotter Future

While I was reading William deBuys's new book, A Great Aridness, two massive dust storms reminiscent of the 1930s raged across the skies of Phoenix and of Lubbock, Texas. Newspapers blamed them on the current drought in the West, which is proximately true. But what ultimately is causing this drought, and why would any drought produce such terrifying clouds of dust? The answer is that they may be portents of a more threatening world that we humans are unwittingly creating. As deBuys explains, “Because arid lands tend to be underdressed in terms of vegetation, they are naturally dusty. Humans make them dustier.”

Agriculture is the main reason for those dust storms—the clearing of native grasslands or sagebrush to grow cotton or wheat, which die quickly when drought occurs and leave the soil unprotected. Phoenix and Lubbock are both caught in severe drought, and it is going to get much worse. We may see many such storms in the decades ahead, along with species extinctions, radical disturbance of ecosystems, and intensified social conflict over land and water. Welcome to the Anthropocene, the epoch when humans have become a major geological and climatic force.

DeBuys is an acclaimed historian turned conservationist in his adopted home of the Southwest. A Great Aridness is his most disturbing book, a jeremiad that ought to be required reading for politicians, economists, real-estate developers and anyone thinking about migrating to the Sunbelt. In the early chapters he reports on the science of how and why precipitation and ecology are changing, not predictably but in nonlinear ways that make the future very uncertain and dark. In later chapters he visits ancient pueblo ruins left behind by earlier civilizations that were destroyed by drought, and he follows the grim trail of migrants crossing the border from Mexico, stirring up a controversy that climate change can only exacerbate. The book is an eclectic mix of personal experience, scientific analysis and environmental history.

Smoke as well as dust is spoiling the southwestern skies. As deBuys points out, forest fires are getting much bigger. In June the Rodeo and Chediski fires erupted on Arizona's Mogollon Plateau, soon merging into a single conflagration that consumed nearly 500,000 acres. It was Arizona's largest fire—until the Wallow Fire eclipsed it in June . Another devastating effect of climate change has been the explosion of bark beetles among western pines, which in turn contributes to the new fire regime; in , dead trees covered 2.6 million acres in Arizona and New Mexico. Could anything be more demoralizing than the sight of green forests turned a grisly brown, then bursting into flame and left charred and black?

Even more depressing than declining forests are mountains bare of snow. When future springs arrive, the sound of running water will be much diminished. The biggest environmental catastrophe for the Southwest, already our most arid region, is losing the melting runoff from snowpacks into rivers, canals and irrigation ditches. An ominous chapter in the book examines the future of the Colorado River, which for decades has been the “blood” of the Southwest's oasis civilization. In the 1920s Americans divided the river between upper and lower basins, allocating to each a share of the annual flow. California, which contributes almost nothing to the river, sucks up the largest share of any state, spreading it across the Imperial Valley's agricultural fields and diverting the rest to Los Angeles. Years ago policy makers assumed that the river carried about 17 million acre-feet of water per year—that is, enough water to cover 17 million acres to a depth of one foot. They overestimated, as people tend to do when hope and greed outrun the facts. Now comes a drier and hotter future, when the Colorado River will carry even less water—perhaps as little as 11 million acre-feet.

Tim Barnett and David Pierce of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography estimate that to adjust to a sustainable level of supply, consumers of Colorado River water will have to get along with 20 percent less water than they use today. That is still a lot of water to lose, but the loss may not be catastrophic. Urban users are already conserving about as much as they can per capita. Farmers, on the other hand, who consume about 80 percent of the western water supply, including in California, are wasting much through inefficient management and low-value crops. Half of the water goes to raise alfalfa to feed cattle, and much of the rest evaporates or soaks into the sand. If some of agriculture's share could be diverted to cities, there might be enough to sustain the current population. Rural communities would decline, some lucky farmers would retire with a potful of money, and the public would have to figure out where to get its lettuce, tomatoes, oranges and meat. The cost of water would go up dramatically, and those without money would go thirsty and leave. New hierarchies would take the place of old ones.

Thirty million people now depend on the Colorado River. Perhaps they can manage to adjust to a diminished flow and to declines in domestic food supplies and hydroelectric power. But more people are on the way: Demographers calculate that the population of the Southwest may increase by 10 or 20 million between now and 2050. Some of those people will come from other parts of the country, some from Mexico and Central America, and some from other nations that are coping poorly with their current problems or are overwhelmed by climate change. Whatever their origin, the new arrivals will go to the familiar oases, hoping to find the good life with a swimming pool and a green lawn.

Developers are eager to make money by selling homes to these newcomers. The political and economic culture of the Southwest is dead set against any acknowledgment of limits to growth. In the last few chapters of the book, deBuys shows that even now those in power refuse to accept any check to expansion; business must be free to do business. Others say that they are helpless to stop the influx: Patricia Mulroy, general manager of the Southern Nevada Water Authority in Las Vegas, declares, “You can't take a community as thriving as this one and put a stop sign out there. The train will run right over you.” Her solution is to create an expensive “straw” to extract water from a shrinking Lake Mead, drawing on the “dead pool” that will be left below the intakes for generating electricity. She doesn't have the money to build that straw right now, but she is working hard to keep her improbable city from drying up and becoming a casualty like ancient Mesopotamia. Similarly, Phoenix continues to issue building permits helter-skelter and counts on “augmenting the supply” of water sometime in the future. But where will the state and city go for more supply, and how will they bring it cheaply over mountains and plains to keep Phoenix sprawling into the sunset?

DeBuys gathers enough scientific evidence to make a convincing case against that growth mentality. A similar case could be made against growth in the rest of the United States, although in the East the threat may be too much water, not too little, and too many storms, not too much smoke and dust. The past warns us that ancient peoples once failed to adapt and survive. Will theirs be America's fate? Perhaps. But past human behavior may not be a reliable indicator of how people will behave in the future. If the environment is becoming nonlinear and unpredictable, as deBuys argues, then human cultures may also become nonlinear and unpredictable. No other people have had as much scientific knowledge to illuminate their condition. What we will do with that knowledge is the biggest imponderable of all.

篇3：自学雅思的阅读备考方法

自学雅思的阅读备考方法一文描述了在自学的情况下，我们应该怎样备考雅思阅读。无论你报补习班还是自己复习，都应该做到知己知彼百战不殆。

自学雅思的阅读备考方法

自学雅思的阅读备考方法为你带来在准备自己学习复习备考雅思的情况下，应该怎样复习雅思阅读。首先我们要了解雅思阅读都考什么。怎么考，其次我们要找好适合自己的雅思阅读备考材料。最后，我们要根据自身的弱点制定备考计划。下面我们就一起看一下文章怎么说。

雅思阅读主要是先按各种题型讲解题方法。雅思的阅读可以大致分成4类：

1。overview questions：List of headings

2。viewpoint questions: T/F/NG

3。summarizing questions: summary

4。specific questions: multiple choice; short answer; sentence completion; flow chart; table completion; matching

以上按顺序难度递减。

每种题型都有其解题的方法步骤以及注意事项，这是没有接触过雅思阅读的学生必须学的(不论程度怎样!!!)。因为在雅思阅读中不仅要做得对，更要做得快，如果不熟悉题型，很可能来不及做或掉入题目的陷阱中!!!

至于每种题型的方法这里就不详细说了，大家可以收集市面上的资源。但有一点值得注意：

在选购了自己觉得不错的书后(一定要是讲方法的)，可以学习书中的方法并分析书中所提供的试题，因为阅读不是会了方法就一定能做对的，必须要通过练习来感悟，学以致用!!!

那么有人会问，哪些试题比较权威呢?!

这个问题太简单了。在学习了讲题方法后，买本剑3，学一个题型后就到剑3中把这种题型都做一遍(即把剑3当作单项训练)，在掌握各种题型的解题方法后(剑3的题目也练完了)，买本剑4，把剑4当作实际考试来做，从中再积累点综合解题的心得。

总结一下：先学解题方法并通过剑3巩固，再做剑4进一步训练综合解题的能力，这样是最有效的也是最捷进的了。

有的学生又要问，自己怎么自学呢?!

市面上有剑3和剑4试题的详解还附有文章的译文和重点单词，所以大家大可以自学。

对于已经同大学英语四级或具有同等水平的学生来说，直接学解题方法并通过剑桥的试题训练就可以达到一个不错的分数。如果是想拿高分的(7分以上)，那么在做剑桥的同时，可以把里面的文章精读，扩大词汇量，把文章多读几遍，读透，提高综合的阅读能力。两本书G类试题不算的话，有24篇长文章，若能坚持读完那么综合的阅读能力一定能提高!!!

对于尚未达到大学英语四级水平的学生，建议先不要做剑桥。我建议可以买些其他的难度稍低的阅读书来提高一定的阅读量提高一下英语基础。这一步是为了打基础，所以大可选用非雅思的阅读，但是如果能选用难度略低，有符合雅思阅读要求的题目当然是最好的。同样也是要精读文章，积累词汇量和看长文章的能力，在打下了一定的基础后，再来研究真实的雅思试题，效果会更好!!!

需要说明的是，在没有了解雅思的情况，想通过自学后去考试的同学，请不要急于做真题，因为雅思的真题很少，一口气做完了，后面就没有权威的题目了，所以必须在对雅思有一定的了解，掌握了一定的方法后再去拿真题来巩固，这样比较好。

以上就是自学雅思的阅读备考方法的全部内容，同学们一定要根据自身的特点进行备考计划的制定。不管你是报补习班还是要自己备考雅思，我们都应该做到知己知彼百战不殆。雅思阅读是雅思4科目中较容易在短时间内进行提分的科目，我们应该有效利用这个特点。

雅思考试阅读模拟练习及答案

How to increase sales

From The Economist print edition

How shops can exploit people's herd mentality to increase sales

1.A TRIP to the supermarket may not seem like an exercise in psychological warfare—but it is.Shopkeepers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they had intended.Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors.Now researchers are investigating how “swarm intelligence” (that is，how ants，bees or any social animal，including humans，behave in a crowd) can be used to influence what people buy.

2.At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome，Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani，a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology，described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon.Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted: for instance，by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store，forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them.Mr Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes，also of the Florida Institute of Technology，set out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on the herd instinct.The idea is that，if a certain product is seen to be popular，shoppers are likely to choose it too.The challenge is to keep customers informed about what others are buying.

3.Enter smart-cart technology.In Mr Usmani's supermarket every product has a radio frequency identification tag，a sort of barcode that uses radio waves to transmit information，and every trolley has a scanner that reads this information and relays it to a central computer.As a customer walks past a shelf of goods，a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product.If the number is high，he is more likely to select it too.

4.Mr Usmani's “swarm-moves” model appeals to supermarkets because it increases sales without the need to give people discounts.And it gives shoppers the satisfaction of knowing that they bought the “right” product—that is，the one everyone else bought.The model has not yet been tested widely in the real world，mainly because radio frequency identification technology is new and has only been installed experimentally in some supermarkets.But Mr Usmani says that both Wal-Mart in America and Tesco in Britain are interested in his work，and testing will get under way in the spring.

5.Another recent study on the power of social influence indicates that sales could，indeed，be boosted in this way.Matthew Salganik of Columbia University in New York and his colleagues have described creating an artificial music market in which some 14,000 people downloaded previously unknown songs.The researchers found that when people could see the songs ranked by how many times they had been downloaded，they followed the crowd.When the songs were not ordered by rank，but the number of times they had been downloaded was displayed，the effect of social influence was still there but was less pronounced.People thus follow the herd when it is easy for them to do so.

6.In Japan a chain of convenience shops called RanKing RanQueen has been ordering its products according to sales data from department stores and research companies.The shops sell only the most popular items in each product category，and the rankings are updated weekly.Icosystem，a company in Cambridge，Massachusetts，also aims to exploit knowledge of social networking to improve sales.

7.And the psychology that works in physical stores is just as potent on the internet.Online retailers such as Amazon are adept at telling shoppers which products are popular with like-minded consumers.Even in the privacy of your home，you can still be part of the swarm.

Questions 1-6

Complete the sentences below with words taken from the reading passage. Use NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

1.Shopowners realize that the smell of _______________ can increase sales of food products.

2.In shops, products shelved at a more visible level sell better even if they are more _______________.

3.According to Mr. Usmani, with the use of “swarm intelligence” phenomenon, a new method can be applied to encourage _______________.

4.On the way to everyday items at the back of the store, shoppers might be tempted to buy _______________.

5.If the number of buyers shown on the _______________ is high, other customers tend to follow them.

6.Using the “swarm-moves” model, shopowners do not have to give customers _______________ to increase sales.

Questions 7-12

Do the following statements agree with the information given in the reading passage? For questions 7-12 write

YES if the statement agrees with the information中华考试网(www.Examw。com)

NO if the statement contraicts the information

NOT GIVEN if there is no information on this in the passage

7.Radio frequency identification technology has been installed experimentally in big supermarkets like Wal-Mart.

8.People tend to download more unknown songs than songs they are familiar with.

9.Songs ranked high by the number of times being downloaded are favored by customers.

10.People follow the others to the same extent whether it is convenient or not.

11.Items sold in some Japanese stores are simply chosen according to the sales data of other shops.

12.Swarm intelligence can also be observed in everyday life.

篇4：雅思阅读备考方法指导：加强有效阅读

雅思阅读备考方法指导：加强有效阅读

一、关于有效阅读

人们阅读时往往停留在刚开始学习阅读时的状态，所学得的技巧是如何读“词”，了解词义对于理解文章是必需的，但是不够的。要想进行更有效地阅读，还必须采取另一个层次的阅读方式，即阅读文章的内容和结构，这是由于雅思阅读考试的考核目标除了对文章细节的理解能力以外，还有对文章综合大意的把握能力，换言之，考察学生阅读文章的方式和理解文章的能力。因此，考生不能仅满足于词汇的知晓，还应注意培养阅读时从大处着眼，高屋建瓴，从文章结构来加强对整体大意理解的能力。

二、了解文章结构

了解文章结构对提高阅读效率非常必要，但实力不够强的考生达到这个目标还需要多加练习。

在剑桥雅思系列文章中，有一种实验类文章经常会在真题中出现。例如剑V系列的Test 1中的Passage 2, Nature or Nurture, 该文选自Paradigms Lost, 在讲述此次试验的过程中，一步步展示出文章结构，文章写作思路相当清晰，遵循了‘话题引入 – 介绍试验宗旨 / 目的— 试验操作— 预计结果— 公布结果— 讨论/分析 – 展望 / 提出新的课题 ’的线索，如果考生能够体会到这样的结构，无疑会使应对后面的问题变得轻松。不仅判断题的信息所在位置变得明确，而且对于考生普遍畏惧的段落标题配对题也会提升正确率。

事实上不仅实验类文章如此，其他如说明类，议论类都有内在的规律可以遵循，只要考生善于思考，勤于练习，就一定会有收获。

三、概括句子大意

备考雅思的学生一定会对阅读文章中出现的长难句留有深刻的印象。由于文章是建立在专业基础上针对非专业学生的阅读，所以其学术化，句子偏长也就在所难免了。然而考试时间紧，题目多，压力大，对于长难句若没有解决策略，将使考生感觉雪上加霜。

那么，如何提高对于长难句的理解能力呢?

练习让长难句减肥，抽取主干成分的有效信息来概括句子大意是行之有效的方法之一。

通常可以将位于句子不同位置的修饰成分去掉，一般为定语，状语，补语以及插入语等，而保留主干成分的主语，谓语，宾语结构，以简化句子结构，利于理解。但是需注意，要联系上下文，若不能通顺，则要将原来句子中的一些修饰成分逐一补回，说明其中的某些修饰成分如定语，状语是语义表达的核心。

如果在操作过程中出现了对句子成分的模糊或不理解，要尽快补足语法上的欠缺，主要是句子成分方面的知识点。

四、识别文章类型

阅读真题中出现频率较高的三种文章类型分别为描述型，阐释原因型以及论述结果型。考生要训练自己在阅读中辨别所读文章属于哪种类型，以更好地了解作者的写作意图，利于解题。

通过上面的四个过程的练习，相信大家可以对这个雅思阅读方法有一个更加详细的掌握。掌握了雅思阅读的方法之后，对于文章后面的题目解答，大家的解答过程就能更加有效率了。

雅思阅读文章来源介绍：多读国外杂志

首先，细心的同学已经发现从剑四开始每本书的后面都多了一个acknowledgements。其实在acknowledgements里面已经给出了剑桥这几本材料里面阅读文章的来源。

经过总结归纳不难发现，雅思阅读文章主要来自于学术出版物，而非一般娱乐性出版物。其中主要用到的学术杂志如下：

1.New Scientist 这本杂志被用到的频率最高，如剑四中的Lost for Words, Play is a Serious Business，剑五中的What’s So Funny?, Flawed Beauty: the Problem with Toughened Glass，和剑六中的多篇文章 Australia’s Sporting Success, Climate Change and the Inuit, Graying Population Stays in the Pink, Do Literate Women Make Better Mothers?

2.The Economist 列居其次，如剑五中的The Truth about the Environment, 剑六中的Delivering the Goods

3.还有American Scientist和Scientific American这两个主要的美国学术期刊，例如剑五的Disappearing Delta和剑六的The Search for Anti-aging Pills

4.当然还有National Geographic。但是值得注意的是，因为这是休闲杂志，所以只作为了G类的阅读，如剑六中的Pterosaurs

除了以上提到的若干来源之外，雅思A类的阅读文章还出自Nature, Discover, Time (Europe)， Boston Global, History Today等其余期刊或杂志。至于是哪次考试的哪篇文章，由于敏感原因在这里就不在透露。

综上所述，雅思阅读文章的来源一般都是国外的一些媒体和杂志等，了解这些雅思文章来源之后对于广大考生平时进行泛读训练具有很好的指导作用，对于大家掌握更多的背景知识有非常大的帮助。大家可以在备考的时候，进行更加有针对性的阅读。

详解雅思学术类阅读的十大题型

当然，基本的做题训练是必须的，但是盲目进行题海战术却不是个可取的方法。如何在有限的备考时间里面准确有效的去做是我们值得考察的话题。

首先，在素材的选择上。很多误入题海的中国考生不太善于归纳。

我们说雅思考试作为一个成熟的考试系统，有自己特定的素材选择角度和内容。那么考生在去做题目的过程中首先不能盲目地文章就拿过来做，这样一来备考的效率就会大大降低。

因为雅思考试所涉及的人文社科及自然科学两大类的文章当中，有部分话题的文章是经常出现的，如人文社科类的儿童教育、拯救语言等话题，自然科学类的蝴蝶农场、温室效应等等话题。

这些常考话题是需要考生归纳整理的，在总结出频率较高的文章背景之后，考生在选择文章的时候就要按照总结的高频话题去进行选择。

除去高频的“老牌”文章之外，广大考生还需要注意的就是近期出现的新文章背景。

重中之重肯定是这些文章背景当中那些自己不了解的内容，比如东京塔、钱币的发展史等等。当然，在拿这些文章去练习的时候也要采取精读的方式，认真了解相关的背景知识和相关专业词汇。

除去对于文章背景素材的选择外，建议考生在备考过程中的练习还需要关注题型。

雅思学术类阅读分为十大题型:

Multiple Choice;

Short-answer questions;

Sentence Completion;

Notes,Summary or Table/Flow-chart Completion;

Labelling a Diagram;

Headings;

Locating Information;

Identification of Writer‘s Views/Claims or of Information in a Text;

Classification;Matching

这里面的绝大多数题型和中国考生所熟悉的四六级考试或者国内英语考试都有很大的不同。

在考生选择备考文章的时候，不是盲目地任何题型平均分配时间。而是要根据一段时期内所出现的题型分布比重去安排备考的重点题型。

这就要求考生不断关注近期考试趋势，总结出比重较高的题型后，把劲使在刀口上。比如从上半年的题型分布来看，细节配对题的比重相当的大，这其中段落细节配对的难度比较大，那么在考生的备考过程中自然要多把精力花费在这样的重点题型上。

有重点有范围的去选择安排自己备考过程中需要接触的文章类别及相关重点题型才是明智有效的备考方法，才能够在最有限的时间内帮助考生提高应试能力。

推荐考生在熟悉考试题型掌握考试技巧的同时，提高自身的阅读能力。比如最基本的Skimming、scanning这些阅读方法，其实是贯穿在考生做题的过程当中的，在遇见小标题配对这样的大意题的时候，考生需要使用Skimming这种阅读方式;在填空题、无选项Summary这样的题型当中，考生需要的是Scanning这样的方式去寻找细节。

另外，在理解句子的过程中，难免会遇见一些生词。这个时候，阅读能力强的同学可能通过上下文的含义去推测词义，或者通过前后缀这样的构词法内容去进行推测，以便更好的理解文章的意思。

而只有技巧没有实际阅读能力的学生即使侥幸定位到了相关内容恐怕也会因为不能理解正确的含义而造成题目最终的判断失误。

举个实际的例子，当下流行的段落细节题，这样的题型需要考生对于文章的整体结构，各部分的大致内容有一定的了解才能够解答，单靠某些技巧恐怕很难保证正确率。

雅思考试需要养成良好的阅读习惯

1、从阅读习惯上讲，单纯以学习英语为目的的阅读和以获取信息为目的的阅读存在很大差异。前者是一个语言知识积累的过程，后者是以语言知识和能力为工具达到获取有用信息的过程。雅思阅读强调把握重点信息的能力，所以要培养上述第二种习惯。很多同学在参加雅思考试之前，都只是把英语当成一个学习的对象，而未能上升到把英语作为工具来使用的阶段。所以，在阅读过程中，往往陷入逐字逐句的意思理解和语法分析，依然保持学英语的习惯。没有去识别重点信息的主观意图，当然就谈不上习惯不习惯，更谈不上把握重点信息的能力。

2、养成习惯的第一步，首先要确立以把握信息为目的的主观意图。刚开始时不要怕慢，不是去完整地理解句子的意思，而是刻意的猜测句子在段落中的功能。以下面一段文字为例：

(1) Care needs to be taken with religious items. (2) There have been a number ofincidents over the years involving foreigners that have drawn a strong reaction from an offended government and people - for example, the family of tourists who foolishly clambered all over a revered Buddha statue. (3) When buying an object, it is important to distinguish between the object's aestheitc appeal and its religious significance. (4) Representations of the Buddha, for example, must be placed at ....

句(1)当中的needs to be taken 表示“需要、应该”，显然是作者的态度和观点，当表示态度或观点的句子出现在段首，通常是topic sentence , 重点信息。

句(2)There be 句型表事实，事实跟在观点后，毫无疑问是充当论据的角色。句子中的核心名词incidents 是复数，表示这个句子对下文具有结构性功能，下文会就论据进行细节性列举。

句(3)it is important to do 表示作者对某个事情的认知和判断，出现在两个 for example 中间，是一个细分的判断。

句(4)中的for example，表明它是个细节性的论据。

对重点信息的识别，往往不需要理解太多的词汇的意思就可以做到。

3、习惯的养成需要一个过程，这个过程时间上可以缩短。可以找一些段落刻意的去分析，开始时会很慢，甚至比你搞清全部的细节意思还要慢。但是，经过一段时间的操练，就会收到意想不到的效果。

4、下面给大家一些重点信息的线索：a. 判断句在段首、b. 强调句在段尾、c. 祈使句在段首、d. “But, However, 等转折词后的句子、 e. “for example”前的句子、 f. 问号后的句子、g. 表观点的句子永远比表事实的句子重要、h. 段落以细节信息开头，看段落的最后一句话。等等。

雅思阅读材料：EQ高也是一把双刃剑

Emotional intelligence, or EQ, is the ability to read and understand emotions in ourselves and others. It is said that emotional intelligence accounts for 80 percent of one’s success.

情商也称EQ，是一种读懂自身和他人情绪的能力。据说一个人的成功80%取决于情商的高低。

That’s almost certainly an exaggeration. But ever since the 1995 publication of US psychologist and science writer Daniel Goleman’s best-seller, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, EQ has been seen by leaders and educators as the solution to many social problems. In some Western countries such as the US, emotional intelligence is now taught widely in secondary, business and medical schools.

这一说法虽然略显夸张。但是自从1995年美国心理学家兼科学作家丹尼尔?戈尔曼的畅销书《情商:它为什么比智商更重要》出版以来，很多领导者和教育家都将情商视为解决诸多社会问题的关键。如今，在美国等西方国家，在中学、商学院和医学院中情商教学随处可见。

Anti-social behavior

反社会行为

EQ is important. But our enthusiasm for it has obscured a dark side, says a recent article in The Atlantic.

美国《大西洋月刊》近日刊登文章称，情商固然重要，但是人们的趋之若鹜却掩盖了它的黑暗面。

Weapon of mass emotion

操纵大众情绪的武器

Recent research and studies show that as people improve their emotional skills, they become better at manipulating others. When someone knows what others are feeling, they can tug at their heartstrings and motivate them to act against their own best interests.

最新研究表明，随着人们情商能力的提高，他们会更擅长操纵他人。当一个人能了解别人的感受时，他就可以撩动他们的心弦，促使他们做出违背自身最大利益的行为。

Does this remind you of those “managers” at pyramid scheme companies? Hundreds of thousands of otherwise cautious and rational people have been brainwashed by their impassioned speeches and become bankrupt as a result.

这是否会令你联想到那些非法传销公司的“经理”们?无数处事理智而谨慎的人被他们激情澎湃的演讲洗脑，最后却落得个倾家荡产的下场。

Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence. A study by the University of Cambridge found that when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion, the audience was less likely to scrutinize the message and remembered less of the content.

社会科学家已经开始研究情商的黑暗面。剑桥大学一项研究发现，当一名领导人充满激情地演讲时，听众不会太注意其传达的信息，并且记住的内容也很少。

Researchers call this the “awestruck effect”, but it may just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect, says The Atlantic article. Leaders who master emotions can rob us of our capacity to reason. If they have self-serving motives, or their values are out of step with our own, emotional intelligence becomes a weapon of manipulation and the results can be devastating.

据《大西洋月刊》报道，研究人员将其称为“敬畏效应”，但它也很容易被描述成“惊吓效应”。善于掌控情绪的领导者会让我们丧失辨别是非的能力。当他们产生谋私利的动机，或者他们的价值观与我们的不合拍时，情商就会变成操控他人情绪的武器，其后果不堪设想。

Hidden agenda

隐藏的动机

This is consistent with another recent study from Kyoto University. According to The Huffington Post, the study shows that “people with high interpersonal EQ influence others’ emotions based on their own goals”.

该观点与日本京都大学的一项研究成果不谋而合。据《赫芬顿邮报》报道，该研究表明：“高情商者会根据自己的目标去干扰他人情绪”。

A research team led by University College London professor Martin Kilduff shed more light on this dark side of emotional intelligence. According to them, emotional intelligence helps people disguise one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain. Emotionally intelligent people “intentionally shape their emotions to fabricate favorable impressions of themselves”, Kilduff’s team writes in the journal Research in Organizational Behavior. “The strategic disguise of one’s own emotions and the manipulation of others’ emotions for strategic ends are behaviors evident not only on Shakespeare’s stage but also in the offices and corridors where power and influence are traded.”

伦敦大学学院的马丁?吉尔达夫教授带领一支研究小组揭开了情商的黑暗面。该小组称，人们为了谋取私利，会掩饰情绪，当面一套背后一套。情商高的人“会故意给人留下对自己有利的印象”。吉尔达夫率领的研究小组在《组织行为研究》期刊中写道：“采取策略来伪装个人情绪，同时为了达到战略目的而操控他人情绪，这些行为不仅出现在莎翁的戏剧中，在交易权力和影响力的场所也十分常见。”

It seems that to better understand the dark side of EQ, we need look no further than Shakespeare’s Macbeth or its modern adaption on TV: House of Cards.

看来，要想更好地了解情商的黑暗面，我们只需看看莎翁名著《麦克白》或者它的现代电视剧版——《纸牌屋》就够了。

雅思阅读材料：英国男子用短信发莎士比亚全集

A Bristol graphic designer who was ripped off by an internet seller has turned to Shakespeare to get his revenge.

在英国西部的港口城市布里斯托尔，一位平面设计师被一个网上卖家骗了，他让莎士比亚帮他报仇了。

Edd Joseph, 24, who lives in the city with his girlfriend, was furious when he bought a PS3 games console for ?80 and the seller failed to deliver the goods.

24岁的艾德-约瑟夫和女朋友定居在这里，当得知他在网上花了80英镑买的PS3游戏机后卖家没有给他发货时，他非常愤怒。

So Edd decided to take his revenge by sending him the entire works of the Bard - by text.

所以艾德决定报仇——把莎士比亚所有的作品全文用短信发给那个卖家。

Edd discovered he could copy the words from the internet and paste them into a text message - without costing him a penny on his unlimited mobile phone package.

艾德发现他可以从网上复制文字再粘贴到短信里，而他自己因为有无限的手机短信包而不用花一个子儿。

He sends it as one text but his victim can only receive them in 160 character chunks - meaning the 37 works of Shakespeare will buzz through in 29,305 individual texts.

他只用一条短信就能发送整部书的内容，但是他的复仇对象只能每次接收160个字符——意味着莎士比亚的37部作品将会通过29305条短信向他“嗡嗡嗡”得狂轰乱炸。

So far Edd has sent 22 plays including Hamlet, Macbeth and Othello which have been delivered in 17,424 texts.

迄今为止，艾德已经发送了22个剧本，包括《哈姆雷特》《麦克白》和《奥赛罗》。这些文字已经通过17424条短信发送出去了。

He reckons the remaining 15 works will take another few days to send - meaning his adversary's phone will have been constantly beeping for nearly a week.

他预计剩下的15部作品还要花上几天送达——意味着骗子的手机将会在将近一周的时间里不停地振动。

Edd has now started getting abusive replies from the seller.

那位卖家已经回了很多条短信来骂他。

He said: ”I got the first reply after an hour, and then a few more abusive messages after that. His phone must have been going off pretty constantly for hours.

他说：“一个小时后我收到了第一条回复短信，之后他又回了几条短信来骂我。他的手机肯定已经连续关机好几个小时了。”

“I'm going to keep doing it. If nothing else I'm sharing a little bit of culture with someone who probably doesn't have much experience of it.”

“我还要继续发。没什么，我只是想让某个没文化的人感受一下什么叫文化。”

篇6：雅思阅读判断题如何备考

雅思阅读判断题如何备考?

判断题题型特点

雅思阅读判断题每一套题中都会出现，而且频率不低于两次，所以烤鸭们要好好备考。判断题常见的形式一般为“TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN”, 还有一种形式为“YES/NO/NOT GIVEN ”，不过不常见。考试的时候大家注意一下，不要讲TRUE写成了YES，造成失分。

一般来说，判断题如果有三道题目，那么一般这三种情况会各占一种;如果有四道题目，那么一般TRUE重复的可能性最大;如果有六七道题目，那么一般每种情况会出现两次。这些规律大家只可参考，考试的时候还是按照原文和选项的描述来进行有效判断。

做题技巧

一、TRUE的判断技巧：

1. 题目还是原文的同义表达

原文：In the United States and Canada, murder rates doubled 10 to 15 years after

the introduction of television, after the first TV generation grew up.

题目：There were more murders in Canada after people began watching TV.

分析：double 是more 的具体体现，after people began watching TV 与after introduction of television为同义替换

2. 题目是原文的归纳总结

原文：A common glacier flows about 10 inches per day in the summer and 5 inches per day in the winter.

题目：Glaciers normally move at a rate of about 5 to 10 inches a day.

分析：题目是对原文的一些归纳总结

二、FALSE的判断技巧：

1. 直接相反

原文：A species becomes extinct when the last individual dies.

题目：A species is said to be extinct when the last individual exists.

分析：前面的家最都一样，只有dies和exists完全相反。

2. 原文是多个并列(both, and, or, also)，而题目中是必须或者只有(must, only)

原文：Virtually all of 3500 research studies on the subject in the past 40 years have shown the same relationship.

题目：Only one study has found a connection between TV and violent behavior.

分析：一般绝对性表达都是错的，此处出现3500 research studies 与the only 矛盾。

3. 原文是某种理论或者是感觉，比如theory， feel等，而题目是事实或已经被证明，常有fact 或者prove等词。

原文：The professor feels/guesses that H7N9 can transmit from people to people.

题目：The professor proves that H7N9 can transmit among the people.

分析：显然，feels/guesses与proves是程度不同的词汇。

三、NOT GIVEN的判断技巧

1. 题目内容在原文完全或者部分未提到

原文：In the United States and Canada, murder rates doubled 10 to 15 years after the introduction of television, after the first TV generation grew up.

题目：The United States has more violence on TV than other countries.

分析：文中出现美国犯罪率高的定位仅此一处，只是自身翻倍，并没有与其他国家的对比。

2. 主题动作发生的时间段不一样，导致主题信息无法判断。

原文：Center wall tested this pattern in South Africa, where television broadcasts were banned until 1975.

题目：TV was introduced in South Africa in the 1940s.

分析：对于南非的电视情况只有禁播，没有提到引入的相关信息

3. 两个事物在题目中是比较关系，而原文只提到其中任何一部分。

题目：Public colleges cost less than private colleges.

原文：…a full-time student at a public four-year college pays an average of $8,655 for in-state tuition, room and board. A full-time student in a public two-year college pays an average of $1,359 per year in tuition.

分析：题目中比较的是公立学校和私立学校学费，但是文中比较的是2两年制和4年制公立学校费用的比较。

判断题中最让考生抓狂的就是做题的时候总是分不清FALSE和NOT GIVEN，从而做错题。所以小站推荐这篇雅思阅读判断题False和Not Given如何区别，希望可以提高大家的做题效果。

雅思考试阅读模拟练习及答案

Food agency takes on industry over junk labels

Felicity Lawrence

The Guardian

1.Consumers are to be presented with two rival new year advertising campaigns as the Food Standards Agency goes public in its battle with the industry over the labelling of unhealthy foods.

2.The Guardian has learned that the FSA will launch a series of 10-second television adverts in January telling shoppers how to follow a red，amber and green traffic light labelling system on the front of food packs，which is designed to tackle Britain's obesity epidemic.

3.The campaign is a direct response to a concerted attempt by leading food manufacturers and retailers，including Kellogg's and Tesco，to derail the system.The industry fears that traffic lights would demonise entire categories of foods and could seriously damage the market for those that are fatty，salty or high in sugar.

4.The UK market for breakfast cereals is worth ?1.27bn a year and the manufacturers fear it will be severely dented if red light labels are put on packaging drawing attention to the fact that the majority are high in salt and/or sugar.

5.The industry is planning a major marketing campaign for a competing labelling system which avoids colour-coding in favour of information about the percentage of ”guideline daily amounts“ (GDAs) of fat，salt and sugar contained in their products.

6.The battle for the nation's diet comes as new rules on television advertising come into force in January which will bar adverts for unhealthy foods from commercial breaks during programmes aimed at children.Sources at the TV regulators are braced for a legal challenge from the industry and have described the lobbying efforts to block any new ad ban or colour-coded labelling as ”the most ferocious we've ever experienced“.

7.Ofcom's chief executive，Ed Richards，said: ”We are prepared to face up to any legal action from the industry，but we very much hope it will not be necessary.“ The FSA said it was expecting an onslaught from the industry in January.Senior FSA officials said the manufacturers' efforts to undermine its proposals on labelling could threaten the agency's credibility.

8.Terrence Collis，FSA director of communications，dismissed claims that the proposals were not based on science.”We have some of the most respected scientists in Europe，both within the FSA and in our independent advisory committees.It is unjustified and nonsensical to attack the FSA's scientific reputation and to try to undermine its credibility.“

9.The FSA is understood to have briefed its ad agency，United，before Christmas，and will aim to air ads that are ”non-confrontational，humorous and factual“ as a counterweight to industry's efforts about the same time.The agency，however，will have a tiny fraction of the budget available to the industry.

10.Gavin Neath，chairman of Unilever UK and president of the Food and Drink Federation，has said that the industry has made enormous progress but could not accept red ”stop“ signs on its food.

11.Alastair Sykes，chief executive of Nestlé UK，said that under the FSA proposals all his company's confectionery and most of its cereals would score a red.”Are we saying people shouldn't eat confectionery? We're driven by consumers and what they want，and much of what we do has been to make our products healthier,“ he said.

12.Chris Wermann，director of communications at Kellogg's，said: ”In principle we could never accept traffic light labelling.“

13.The rival labelling scheme introduced by Kellogg's，Danone，Unilever，Nestlé，Kraft and Tesco and now favoured by 21 manufacturers，uses an industry-devised system based on identifying GDAs of key nutrients.Tesco says it has tested both traffic lights and GDA labels in its stores and that the latter increased sales of healthier foods.

14.But the FSA said it could not live with this GDA system alone because it was ”not scientific“ or easy for shoppers to understand at a glance.

Questions 1-6

Answer the questions below using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the passage for each answer.

1.When will instructions be given on reading the color-coded labels?

2.Where can customers find the red light labels?

3.What problem is the FSA trying to handle with the labeling system?

4.Which product sells well but may not be healthy?

5.What information，according to the manufacturers，can be labeled on products?

6.What can not be advertised during children's programmes?

Questions 7-13

Use the information in the text to match the people (listed A-E) with the opinions (listed 7-13) below. Write the appropriate letter (A-E) for questions 1-7.

NB You may use any letter more than once.

A Ed Richard

B Terrence Collis

C Gavin Neath

D Alastair Sykes

E Chris Wermann

7.Generally we will not agree to use the red light labels.

8.It is unreasonable to doubt if FSA is trustworthy.

9.We are trying to meet our consumers’ needs.

10.The food industry has been improving greatly.

11.The color-coded labeling system is scientific.

12.Our products will be labeled unhealthy by the FSA.

13.We are ready to confront the manufacturers.

篇7：雅思阅读备考策略

雅思阅读备考策略这5个误区要避开

在雅思考试中时间一直都是比较紧张的，作为题量最大的雅思阅读，很多考鸭都会花大量精力去复习雅思阅读，但是因为一些备考复习的坏习惯导致很多考鸭很难在雅思阅读有提高，或是雅思阅读提分非常缓慢。临考在即，一起跟着小站雅思君来了解一下雅思阅读复习备考中需要避开的5个误区吧。

雅思阅读复习误区一，疯狂刷题战术

这个雅思阅读复习坏习惯基本上每一个烤鸭都有，以为阅读就要做题，认为做的越多提升越快分数会越高。所以烤鸭们会陷入一种机械做题的状态，什么题都做。

虽然在这里不能否定大家的这种做法。但是大家一定不可以盲目的刷题，选择复习题的时候不要盲目跟风，最好是选择剑桥的真题，并且根据那个时段的出题情况来选择题目类型，做到与考题动态保持一致。在做题的时候大家也可以选择3篇文章中自己最为熟悉的一题先做，有利于增添信息。在做完了题目之后不要只是草草对完答案了事，而是要将题目精读分析考点，整理词汇。提升整体的阅读水平。

雅思阅读复习误区二，单词混乱记忆

都说的词汇者得阅读，可见词汇在阅读中的重要性。但是很多烤鸭的备考雅思阅读复习坏习惯则是抱着厚重词汇书或是字典，从A到Z死记硬背。这样方法不但不能提高词汇量反而还会增加记忆的难度。

雅思阅读的4000个，但想要熟练的掌握雅思阅读词汇，只要弄明白那些单词是考试重点，重点突破考试词汇。就算没有足够的时间去背4000个单词，也能够考到不错的分数。

雅思阅读复习误区三：怀抱消极心态

在考试的时候难免会有心态问题，对自己缺乏自信，导致考场上紧张焦虑。而且一些烤鸭在考完听力之后发现听力很糟糕，随之就完全影响了阅读的成绩。

雅思阅读复习误区四：时间欠缺规划

有些烤鸭性子慢，喜欢慢慢做题，品味每一个细节，但是这样下来1个小时可能只能做完2篇文章。这样的速度是很难拿到高分的。这里建议大家可以直接先看题，根据题目定位做题。可以有效提高速度。

有慢慢做题的烤鸭就一定会有飞速完成的烤鸭，但结果相同是这样的得分也并不会高。很多人用40分钟就完成了所有的题，然后也不检查，就玩玩笔看看别人。

在阅读考试中如果缺少了时间的规划，很容易造成严重失分，针对这一雅思阅读复习坏习惯，还是建议烤鸭们为自己的做题时间进行规划，在规定的时间范围内完成考题。

雅思阅读复习误区五：纠结答案选项

为了考到高分，烤鸭们都会一直沉溺与对于答案的纠结。给自己造成了过大的压力，结果反而是一塌糊涂。在考试这种关键的时刻，为了分数，大家还是可以考虑该猜就猜，学会舍弃，将精力放在有把握的考题上去。判断题如果定位不到，也不要浪费时间再看一遍了，意义绝对的就选FALSE或NO，相对的就选TRUE或者YES。这个方法虽然不是一个正确的方法，但是在大家对答案犹豫不决时，也是一个节省时间的好办法。

最后提醒各位考鸭，雅思考试时间很紧张，不要花时间纠结考试的答案，争取在最短的时间内把题目做完，有时间再回头检查。在备考雅思阅读考试时，不要盲目题海战术，也不要只背单词，多关注雅思阅读文章中的单词，做题要注意时间规划和心态的调整。关注小站雅思频道，获取更多雅思考试相关资讯。祝各位考鸭早日和雅思分手。

雅思考试阅读模拟练习及答案

Rogue theory of smell gets a boost

1. A controversial theory of how we smell， which claims that our fine sense of odour depends on quantum mechanics， has been given the thumbs up by a team of physicists.

2. Calculations by researchers at University College London (UCL) show that the idea that we smell odour molecules by sensing their molecular vibrations makes sense in terms of the physics involved.

3. That’s still some way from proving that the theory， proposed in the mid-1990s by biophysicist Luca Turin， is correct. But it should make other scientists take the idea more seriously.

4. “This is a big step forward，” says Turin， who has now set up his own perfume company Flexitral in Virginia. He says that since he published his theory， “it has been ignored rather than criticized.”

5. Most scientists have assumed that our sense of smell depends on receptors in the nose detecting the shape of incoming molecules， which triggers a signal to the brain. This molecular ’lock and key’ process is thought to lie behind a wide range of the body’s detection systems： it is how some parts of the immune system recognise invaders， for example， and how the tongue recognizes some tastes.

6. But Turin argued that smell doesn’t seem to fit this picture very well. Molecules that look almost identical can smell very different — such as alcohols， which smell like spirits， and thiols， which smell like rotten eggs. And molecules with very different structures can smell similar. Most strikingly， some molecules can smell different — to animals， if not necessarily to humans — simply because they contain different isotopes (atoms that are chemically identical but have a different mass)。

7. Turin’s explanation for these smelly facts invokes the idea that the smell signal in olfactory receptor proteins is triggered not by an odour molecule’s shape， but by its vibrations， which can enourage an electron to jump between two parts of the receptor in a quantum-mechanical process called tunnelling. This electron movement could initiate the smell signal being sent to the brain.

8. This would explain why isotopes can smell different： their vibration frequencies are changed if the atoms are heavier. Turin’s mechanism， says Marshall Stoneham of the UCL team， is more like swipe-card identification than a key fitting a lock.

9. Vibration-assisted electron tunnelling can undoubtedly occur — it is used in an experimental technique for measuring molecular vibrations. “The question is whether this is possible in the nose，” says Stoneham’s colleague， Andrew Horsfield.

10. Stoneham says that when he first heard about Turin’s idea， while Turin was himself based at UCL， “I didn’t believe it”。 But， he adds， “because it was an interesting idea， I thought I should prove it couldn’t work. I did some simple calculations， and only then began to feel Luca could be right.” Now Stoneham and his co-workers have done the job more thoroughly， in a paper soon to be published in Physical Review Letters.

11. The UCL team calculated the rates of electron hopping in a nose receptor that has an odorant molecule bound to it. This rate depends on various properties of the biomolecular system that are not known， but the researchers could estimate these parameters based on typical values for molecules of this sort.

12. The key issue is whether the hopping rate with the odorant in place is significantly greater than that without it. The calculations show that it is — which means that odour identification in this way seems theoretically possible.

13. But Horsfield stresses that that’s different from a proof of Turin’s idea. “So far things look plausible， but we need proper experimental verification. We’re beginning to think about what experiments could be performed.”

14. Meanwhile， Turin is pressing ahead with his hypothesis. “At Flexitral we have been designing odorants exclusively on the basis of their computed vibrations，” he says. “Our success rate at odorant discovery is two orders of magnitude better than the competition.” At the very least， he is putting his money where his nose is.

11. What is the next step of the UCL team’s study?

12. What is the theoretical basis in designing odorants in Turin’s company?

(by Zhou Hong)

Answer Keys and Explanations

1. T 见第一段。“give sth the thumbs up”为“接受“的意思。

2. F 见第三段。 “That’s still some way from proving that the theory， proposed in the mid- 1990s by biophysicist Luca Turin， is correct.”意即“现在尚无法证实生物物理学家Luca在九十年代中期提出的理论是否正确。”

3. NG

4. T 见第六段 “Molecules that look almost identical can smell very different — such as alcohols， which smell like spirits， and thiols， which smell like rotten eggs.”“identical” 一词是“完全相同”的意思。这句话是说alcohols和thiols的分子结构看起来一样，但是它们的味道却相去甚远。

5. Luca Turin 文章第二，三和七段均可看出Luca的理论即人类的鼻子是通过感觉气味分子的震动来分辨气味的。

6. Virginia 见第四段。

篇8：雅思阅读备考攻略

学会雅思阅读备考稳中求胜获高分

如何培养自己的雅思阅读考试能力

首先我们要明确的是，雅思阅读能力究竟该如何练习呢?小站老师认为，雅思阅读能力，或者说是英语学习能力，更多的时候是从“泛读”中来的。我们在做精读的时候，应该选择的是短小精悍，生词多，语法点多，是用来学习语言知识的，而泛读的话，选择面可以广泛一些，因为泛读的过程就是将知识转化为能力的过程。

雅思阅读备考：如何进行泛读

1、持续时间：三个月到半年

2、如何选择泛读的材料：如果选择了太难的文章无疑是“自虐”，而选择太简单的文章也无益进步，小站老师认为，学语言的基本规律：合适的材料读多了，难的自然就变简单了。

泛读注意事项：

1、泛读选择的材料要最适合自己，不要选择有太多生词，太难的。合适的材料+阅读量+兴趣

2、选择在大脑最清醒的时候泛读，建立一个良性循环。

三大雅思阅读考试丢分点

雅思阅读考试失分点一：遇到生词，束手无策，无法正常进行阅读和做题

雅思阅读考试文章来源于国外原版的期刊或杂志，话题覆盖面广，科技，自然，环保，社会，文化，工作，生物，地理等无不涉及，所以遇到生词在情理之中。但一部分烤鸭遇到生词后就信心全失，慌乱至极，打破了自己原有的阅读节奏和速度，做题时也因为生词被卡壳，结果题目不仅没有解出，还影响了后面的做题速度和时间，可谓“一发动而迁全身”。对此，专家认为，生词的出现在所难免，只要大家有基本的词汇量，完全可以将生词的问题逐一击破。

A. 有时候生词属于比较专业的词汇，它们的出现不是为了考察考生的词汇量，更多的是检阅大家的应变和判断能力。尤其在题目中出现的所谓生词，更是可以坏事变好事，成为考生定位答案的线索词。

比如：在剑桥7 “Why pagodas don't fall down”一文，5-10题的分类题中第6题“tiles on eaves”，很可能考生在三个单词中有两个都不认识，这时候如何是好呢?首先，先观察这两个生词的词性。在介词“on”的前后，且分别加了“s”, 可以判断是名词。在这篇建筑类的文章中论及我们不认识的名词，想必不是日常词汇，所以完全可以把“tiles”和“eaves”作为定位词去原文寻找答案。

B. 有时候生词的含义可以在上下文中直接得到。在雅思阅读文章时遇到的生词，有相当一部分的含义可以通过多种猜测单词的方法得到，所以，在生词的周围或上下文寻找其解释不失为有效途径。

例如，剑桥4的文章“How much higher? How much faster?”中，有这样一个句子：“One of the most important new methodologies is biomechanics, the study of the body in motion.” “biomechanics”这个单词从构词法上看，我们只能够知道其和生物有关，此时，看后面的同位语部分就能很好的帮我们解释这个词的意思，直接且易懂，即对身体在运动状态下的研究。

雅思阅读考试失分点二：不能权衡做题的优先性，无法把握做题时间

很多烤鸭在面对雅思阅读考试时，都会感叹时间不够，有

的考生会剩下半篇文章没有读完，更有甚者，一个小时只够用来做两篇文章。其中做题速度无法达到要求的原因有很多，词汇量，阅读方法，做题技巧无一不是。此外，还有一个很重要的因素：不会取舍，不会衡量做题的优先性。专家提示，雅思阅读3篇文章，存在难易程度的差别。考生应选择自己擅长或熟悉的话题文章优先做。而对一篇文章而言，做题顺序可以如下排布：Heading题 ---- 填空型题(表格，图示，简答，summary, 完成句子) ---- 判断题 ---- 选择型题(单选，多选)，平均每篇文章的做题时间控制在20min, 如时间到，还有少量题目(1-2题)没有做完，可放宽少许时间完成。若还余留多题未完成，建议先舍弃，做下一篇文章，因为不排除下一篇文章，看似文章话题难，但题目容易的情况。难度系数高的题目在每个人面前都一样，我们希望确保容易的题目百分百的拿下。

雅思阅读考试失分点三：对题目考点把握不清，不知如何确定keywords

很多考生在平时的练习和考场上面对划keywords总是单一的跟着感觉走，或是将一道题目中大部分的词都划下来作为keywords, 完全失了方向和重点，直接导致答案很难在原文锁定。所以，keywords是对题目的浓缩，也是题目的线索词，更是考点。考生们应该在平时的课堂和练习中，多加总结考点词的特点，以达到用一到两个词就涵盖整个题目的效果。利用keywords定位答案，更集中目标，更有方向性。

例如：在剑桥7，“Why pagodas don't fall down”的分类题中，“size of eaves up to half width of the building”, 这道题目看似比较长，信息多，其实如果了解数字是一个考点，就能果断划出half这个keywords, 并且根据做题经验，预测到其在原文必定会变换形式成fifty percent。如果在原文寻找答案前就把握了以上这些，找起来自然速度快了许多。

无论考试还是练习，错误在所难免，失分也是情理之中，但如果我们能从失分点中获得经验和新的认知，失分点会骤变为优势。雅思阅读的提高不仅仅是话题单词的记忆，题型技巧的掌握，如果能从错误中学习总结，相信会更加有效。

雅思阅读单词记忆如何突破

突破雅思阅读单词记忆。如何提升一篇雅思阅读考试的成绩?词和句是非常重要的，如果整篇雅思阅读的句型和用词运用太过简单，或者太过单一的话，是不可能获得雅思阅读高分的，同学们在平时备考的过程中就要注意多积累不同的雅思阅读词汇和句，同时要灵活运用，这样才能在雅思阅读考试中才有可能获得高分。下面和雅思小编一起来看看吧：

雅思阅读单词记忆——单词准备单词卡片，循环背诵

一般IELTS阅读中涉及词汇量比较大，但考生具备4000左右即可应考。单词贫乏的考生，一定要及时补充词汇，打下扎实的基础。在应试时很容易遗忘或混淆单词的意义，为了避免类似情况发生，一定要加强单词意义的理解。对此，考生可以制作单词卡片，正反面各写英文和中文解释。制订计划每天背一定量的生词，循环背诵并不断补充。当然，最有效的是阅读文章时记忆单词。

雅思阅读单词记忆——句子参考上下文，分析主谓结构

在句子理解方面，考生最容易犯的错误就是根据自己已有经验片面理解。IELTS阅读中有的题目考的是对于文章中某一句子的理解，要参考上下文客观地看问题。考生应对一些复合句，尤其是双重否定句、比较句、指代句等有较深了解。特别在遇到复杂句时，应静心思考，从把握句子主干一一主谓结构着手来分析解剖句子结构。

雅思阅读单词记忆——阅读扫描全文，做出标记

雅思阅读追求速度(speed)与准确度(accuracy)的完美结合。快而不准或准而太慢都会影响考分。考生在勤奋练习的时候掌握一些阅读技巧将达到事半功倍的效果。快速阅读最关键的是在扫描全文的时候把握每段的主旨，并做出标记，在看完全文后对文章的结构主题有大致的了解。此外，考生以单词为单位看文章，遇生词就停顿等坏习惯都要极力避免。

总之，考生平时多看、多读、多听、多说、多写，多接触英文(much exposure to English)再运用一些阅读技巧，拿下雅思阅读并非一件难事。以上就是雅思小编整理的雅思阅读考试的词汇句型技巧，很多句子在实际考试中都可以灵活的运用，同学们在备考雅思阅读句型的过程中要学会避免重复使用某一个句型或者词汇，只有这样才可能获得高分。

雅思阅读考试话题之人文科学

雅思阅读考试话题人文科学。很多烤鸭们备考雅思阅读的时候发现即使自己背了很多词汇，阅读方法也掌握了不少，但正确率仍旧不是很高，而且速度不够快。通过实际教学经验发现，这其中的一个主要原因在于烤鸭们对于雅思阅读考察的话题不熟悉。为了解决烤鸭们的这个难题，专家对雅思阅读的话题进行了归类总结，让烤鸭们在考场上找到一种“他乡遇故人”的感觉，同时也给出了烤鸭们做阅读的一些方法建议，让烤鸭们在考场上不只是“他乡遇故人”更要“知故人”。

经过对历年的雅思阅读考试的分析，阅读话题主要有两大类，分别是自然科学类和人文社科类。上文中我们已经探讨过自然科学类的话题，本文将重点对人文科学类话题的文章进行分析。雅思阅读人文科学类的话题主要分为三大块：教育类，语言学类，发展史。同时还会涉及到企业管理和心理类。

1. 教育类

首先，教育类的话题一直是雅思考试阅读部分的热门话题。在的考试中，主要涉及到了儿童的性格，欧洲女子教育，儿童心理教育，儿童情感发展，教育方法的研究，噪音对儿童的影响，儿童文学，家长参与教育，天才教育，学习历史的意义。在上半年的考试来看，教育类涉及到了学术道德，阅读方法的探讨，年轻人当父母，澳大利亚文盲。从去年及今年上半年的教育类话题分析，儿童教育及家庭教育是教育类话题的中心。在剑桥雅思真题集中这类型话题的分布也很广泛，比如剑桥5 Test3 passage1 “Early Childhood Education”, 这篇文章主要是关于儿童教育的，讲解了两个项目'Headstart' programme和'Missouri' programme; 剑桥6 Test4 passage2 “Do Literate Women Make Better Mothers?”, 这篇文章讨论了高学历女性是否可以是更好的妈妈，有关儿童的家长问题。剑桥8 Test4 Passage1 'Land of the Rising Sum' 探讨了日本的数学教育。

因此，各位烤鸭应多关注一下这类型的文章，如果没有时间进行课外泛读，也可以对剑桥雅思真题集4-8的教育类文章先进行限时训练，做完对了答案将错误修改之后，建议烤鸭们在这时千万别以为这篇文章就已经做完了，一定要再对整篇文章进行泛读，每段的大意应该知道，并最好用中文标在每段后面，然后把每段主题句中的关键词标出来，如果有不认识的最好摘下来。这样到了考场上才能真正体会到“他乡知故人”，否则，只是遇到了但不够熟悉，做题时仍然会比较困难。

2. 语言类

雅思阅读人文科学类的第二大话题就是语言类。从20全年来看，主要涉及到语言的传播，笔译，国际公司的外语策略培训，语言对商业的作用，语言的起源，语言的消失，对语言发展的态度。在20上半年来看，语言类话题主要有交流与文化，语义的理解，双语学习的利弊。从去年到今年上半年，语言类话题主要涉及到了语言对商业，文化等的影响，语言的保护以及语言与教育的结合。这类型话题在剑桥雅思真题集中也有广泛分布，比如：剑桥4 Test2 Passage1 Lost for Words, 这篇文章主要讲解了少数语言的消亡，探讨了语言消亡的原因以及相应的解决办法。除此之外，剑桥4 Test3 Passage3 Obtaining Linguistic Data也是关于语言的，这篇文章相对比较专业化，讲述了获取语料的方法并讨论了这些方法的利弊，但即使这样做这篇文章时也不需要理解那些专业化的词汇。剑桥5 Test2 Passage3 The Birth of Scientific English, 这篇文章结合了语言与发展史，讲述了科学英语的诞生及发展。烤鸭们在遇到这类型的话题时，很多都会觉得相当困难，除非有些烤鸭们的专业就是语言学专业。因为语言学本身就包括了很多分支比如语音学，词汇学，句法学等等。每一个分支都会有很多相关的专业术语，烤鸭们尤其是还在读高中的小烤鸭们会觉得异常难懂，但是要记住一点：雅思考试的一大特色就是“非专业性”。也就是说，虽然考试中会考到很多有关语言学的内容，但是大多是关于语言传播方式，如何保护语言等等比较简单易懂的方面，并不会出现太专业性的内容。即使有专业词汇出现，也应该感到高兴，因为它们不会涉及同意转换。

3. 发展史

第三类的话题就是有关各种事物的发展史。年的雅思阅读考试中主要涉及到了欧洲印刷术，古人记事，茶的历史与发展，加拿大移民史，英国战后农业政策，澳大利亚羊毛产业，非洲部落发展等。年上半年的雅思阅读考试中主要有管理学之父彼得德鲁克，远古电脑，奥运火炬演变发展，剧院，超市模式的诞生，地图的发展状况，英国人的农业发明-犁地机，小提琴制作，库克发现新大陆。这类型话题在剑桥雅思真题集中也有体现，比如：剑桥5 Test1 Passage1 'Johnson's Dictionary', 这篇文章讲述了约翰字典的发展历史，相对来说比较容易理解，而且题目也比较容易做。Test2 Passage1 The Birth of Modern Plastics, 这篇文章论述了现代塑料的发展历程，并讲解了制作过程。专业术语较多，但没有同意转换，因此这些专业术语不会影响做题。剑桥7 Test1 Passage2 'Making Every Drop Count', 这篇文章涉及到了人类用水的情况。剑桥8 Test1 Passage1 A Chronicle of Time Keeping, 这篇文章是很典型的发展史类的阅读文章，讲述了计时器的发展历史，讲述的是有史以来不同国家发明的钟表和计时器，也可当作钟表或计时器的发展史来准备这个话题。这类话题是各位烤鸭们必需关注的话题，原因很简单，所有的东西都有历史、有来由，而且这也是近期考试的一个主要话题。考生不可能准备所有的发展史，但是备考过程中完全放弃又很可惜，所以在所有的发展史中，那些曾经考过的发展史考生一定要列为重点准备的内容。比如说“Cosmetic Painting”讲述了化妆品发展的历史，从野人时代到现代，但是讲述现代化妆的比较少，主要是对比古代。“人类货币的进化史”，提到了巴比伦货币，中国货币，日本货币，非洲货币等等，以及剑桥雅思真题集上给出的文章一定要做到。
