篇1:雅思阅读新变化大盘点

根据近几年的雅思考试统计,雅思阅读题量上发生了变化,填空题、选择题和段落标记题,配对题,选择题的题量增多,而段落标记题则减少,对于考生来说这是好事,毕竟阅读考试时间有限,段落标记题特别耗时间而且容易连错。

作为阅读核心题型,填空题除了传统的考法,出题形式更加丰富,比如完成句子,流程图、表格或示意图等。

雅思阅读备考方法

雅思阅读题型共有9种题型,但一以贯之的备考方法还是关键词定位法,不需要花时间通读文章,有限时间里根本不够完成全文阅读,用关键词定位能很好的节约时间,做题效率更高。

小站雅思君友情提示:定位词优先选择名词,名词一般在阅读中有明确的意思,当然也不是所有名词都适合用来定位,有几个原则:优先选择特殊性名词、抽象名词其次是同义词替换。

首先特殊性名词包括:数字、时间、斜体、人名、大小写在文中非常明显,且不容易被替换,这样考生很容易就找到相对应的文章答案了。

同义词替换,这个对考生的要求很高,不过依然有技巧,优先选择句子主语或宾语。

最后小站雅思君提醒各位考生的是,关键词定位的技巧还是需要考生用练习去实践,名词作为关键词定位并不适合所有题目,有时动词也可以成为关键词定位,如果一种关键词定位无法帮助考生找到答案范围,那么多尝试其他的方法,灵活运用考试技巧才是雅思阅读高分的不二法门。

剑桥雅思阅读真题之做题思路讲解

Reading Passage 1 ::The Orion Spacecraft

Q3: Some extreme advocates of the Orion believed that the fears about nuclear

Technology were no necessary.

问题: 文中第 2 段不是说支持者们觉得不用担心核工业吗,为什么答案是 NG 呢?

解答: 原文 Some of the more extreme advocates of the Orion system present it as the holy grail of space travel, which could have taken mankind into a new age of space travel in the 50s or 60s were it not for misplaced fears about nuclear technology.这道题先理解“were it not for”,意思是“若不是有……的话,若非”。文中说:“极端支持者认为它是太空旅行的里程杯,要不是对核技术错误的害怕,它应该可以在五六十年代就把人类带入太空旅行的新纪元。” 文中表达的意思是极端支持者认为五六十年代对核技术是错误的害怕。没有提到需不需要害怕或审慎的担忧核技术,故选 NG。难题。

Reading Passage 2 :Economizing of the Poor

Q19: The surveys of ERS help low-income households develop economizing practices.

问题: 原文应定位何处?为何答案是 NO,我选的是 NG?

解答: C 段第 2 句,注意“such surveys shed little light on the economizing practices of households.” Little 表否定。

Q22: Brand-name products are promoted more frequently.

问题: 没有找到原文根据。

解答: F 段第 3 句中:“...private-label products, which are on promotion less often...than the brand-name alternatives. ”

Q23: Middle-income households purchased less private-label RTE cereal than

low-income households.

问题: 没有找到原文根据。

解答: F 段第 4 句,重点看“with those shares decreasing with increasing income levels”,可推出 middle-income 的状况。

Reading Passage 3 :Development of Mathematics

Q3: It is Archimedes who made the first estimate of л.

问题: 找不到定位。

解答: 文中第 1 段第 2 句,早在“second and third millennia B.C.,”就测量 л 值了。

Q29: Psychometrics was cited in Einstein’s Grand Theory of Relativity.

问题: Harvey 的解释:“爱因斯坦的宏观相对论在文中提到只是一个时间参考,和心理测验一点关系都没有。”可文中并没有说明究竟有没有关系,为什么不是 NG?

解答: Harvey 再解:相对论是物理学里的,和心理学真的没有关系!你别说你不知道,别逼我。

Q30: At the time the US entered the First World War, average American adults’ intelligence was equal to that of a thirteen-year-old.

问题: 原文可以找到与题目同样的表达,为什么 FALSE?

解答: 该陈述是一个 quite astounding conclusion,而真实情况是文中并未提及。文中举例说明智商测验用的不好,得出可笑的结论。

Green states take the federal government to court

Nov 30th

From The Economist print edition

A WHEN the subject is global warming,the villain is usually America . Although it produces a quarter of the greenhouse gases that are heating up the planet,it refuses to regulate them. When other countries agreed on an international treaty to do so——he Kyoto protocol——America failed to ratify it. But not all American officialdom is happy with the federal government's stance. In fact,12 states disagree so fiercely that they are suing to force it to curb emissions of carbon dioxide,the most common greenhouse gas. The Supreme Court heard argument in the case on November 29th. The outcome will not be known for months,but the political wind seems to be shifting in favour of firmer action to counter climate change.

B The Clean Air Act charges the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with regulating air pollution from vehicles. But the EPA argues that Congress did not intend to include CO2 under that heading,and that to do so would extend the EPA's authority to an unreasonable extent. Furthermore,it contends that regulating emissions would not do good unless all or most other countries did the same. That is in keeping with the policies of President George Bush,who opposes mandatory curbs on emissions and believes that any international accord on global warming should apply to all countries——unlike the Kyoto protocol,which exempts poor ones,including big polluters such as China and India . Ten states,among them gas-guzzling Texas and car-making Michigan,also back the EPA.

C The plaintiffs comprise 12 states,three cities,various NGOs,and American Samoa,a Pacific territory in danger of vanishing beneath the rising ocean. They are supported by a further six states,two power companies,a ski resort,and assorted clergymen,Indian tribes and agitated grandees such as Madeleine Albright,a former secretary of state. They point out that under the administration of Bill Clinton,the EPA decided that it did have the authority to regulate CO2. The act,they note,says the EPA should regulate any air pollutant that “may reasonably be interpreted to endanger public health or welfare”. It goes on to define public welfare to include “effects on soils,water,crops,vegetation,manmade materials,animals,wildlife,weather,visibility,and climate”.

D The Supreme Court may give a mixed ruling,decreeing that carbon dioxide is indeed a pollutant,but one the EPA is free to ignore or regulate as it pleases. Or it might dismiss the complaint on the grounds that the plaintiffs did not have the right to lodge it in the first place. In theory,they must prove that the EPA's foot-dragging has caused them some specific harm that regulation might remedy——a tall order in a field as fraught with uncertainty as climatology. Even if the court found in the plaintiffs' favour,rapid change is unlikely. By the time the EPA had implemented such a ruling,Congress would probably have superseded it with a new law.

E That is the point,environmental groups say. They want Congress to pass a law tackling global warming,and hope that a favourable court ruling will jolly the politicians along. Moreover,the case has a bearing on several other bitterly-contested lawsuits. Carmakers,for example,are trying to get the courts to strike down a Californian state law based on certain provisions of the Clean Air Act that require them to reduce their vehicles' CO2 emissions. If the Supreme Court decides that the act does not apply to CO2,then the Californian law would also be in jeopardy. That,in turn, would scupper the decision of ten other states to adopt the same standard.

F However the Supreme Court rules,many state governments are determined to tackle climate change. California is in the vanguard. Its legislature has passed a law that will cap and then reduce industrial emissions of greenhouse gases. Seven eastern states have formed the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative,which will treat emissions from power plants the same way. Almost 400 mayors have signed an agreement to cut their cities' emissions in line with Kyoto . Many businesses,even some power companies,would rather see regulation now than prolonged uncertainty. And several of the leading contenders for 's presidential election are much keener on emissions caps than Mr Bush. Change is in the air.

Questions 6-9 Do the following statements reflect the views of the writer in the reading passage?

In boxes 6 - 9 on your answer sheet write

YES if the statement reflects the views of the writer

NO if the statement contradicts the views of the writer

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

6. Texas and Michigan are among the 12 states which call for regulating air pollution.

7. An American island is in danger of disappearing beneath the rising ocean.

8. The plaintiffs can prove that the EPA抯 foot-dragging has caused them harm that the regulation might remedy.

9. The Supreme Court's ruling may influence the results of other lawsuits.

Questions 10-13 Answer the following questions with NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS each in boxes 10 - 13.

10. What country produces 25% of the world's greenhouse gases?

11. Which president opposes mandatory curbs on emission, George Bush or Bill Clinton?

12. Who are trying to get the courts to strike down a Californian state law that require them to reduce their vehicles' CO2 emissions?

篇3:雅思阅读新变化之段落标记题

雅思阅读新变化之段落标记题的减少带来的影响为你带来在近年的雅思阅读中出现的一个变化——段落标记题的减少所带来的一系列的应对措施和备考策略。雅思阅读题量大,时间短,题型多。不得不说历来它的变化左右了我们的平均做题时间和正确率。近年来的关于雅思阅读题型方面的出现频率和配比变化值得关注。

很多刚入门的考生在备考雅思阅读过程中,很少会去注意近几年雅思阅读的变化。

实际上,雅思阅读新变化正在悄悄发生。

备考策略千千万万,只照搬前辈们的经验可不行哦,如果能针对这些变化,调整更新备考策略,对备考效率有一定帮助哦~

今天我们就来为大家盘点雅思阅读新变化及备考复习建议。

对考生来说雅思阅读最大的挑战就是题量和做题速度的较量!

词汇语法跟不上或是技巧不熟练都会影响到阅读的发挥,怎么办?

在雅思考试过程中,阅读的提分还是相对比较容易的,尽管题量大、内容学术性也很强,但考生们需要注意的是,雅思阅读考察的一个考生的阅读理解能力而不是阅读速度的能力,并不需要考生完全阅读完全部内容再做题。

篇4:雅思阅读新变化之段落标记题

根据近几年的雅思考试统计,雅思阅读题量上发生了变化——

填空题、选择题和配对题,选择题的题量增多,而段落标记题则减少,对于考生来说这是好事,毕竟阅读考试时间有限,段落标记题特别耗时间而且容易连错。

作为阅读核心题型,填空题除了传统的考法,出题形式更加丰富,比如完成句子,流程图、表格或示意图等。

雅思阅读备考策略

英语阅读是我们从小练到大的,因此阅读也是同学们最容易备考、最容易提分的一科,但毕竟雅思阅读难度更高,时间紧、任务重,要想高效备考,应该怎么做呢。

今天主要就从阅读考查能力

提升方法&考试注意事项

这两大个方面来讲一下阅读备考应该怎么做~

俗话说得好,知己知彼,烤鸭不方。只有先了解了考试考什么,考查哪些方面的能力,才能有针对性地备考。

雅思考试阅读部分的题型主要有填空题、选择题、匹配题、判断题这四种题型,无论何种考查形式,题目都是建立在理解文章的基础上的,也就是说只要理解了文章,才能以不变应万变。

那么,要想理解一篇文章,你需要具备哪些能力呢?

1

词汇及短语认知

考查点

单词是英语学习的基础,要想看懂一篇文章,你一定不能有太多的生词,拿到一篇文章的时候,只有保证大部分单词及短语表达都认识,才有可能通过语境推断出自己不认识的单词含义。这样才有可能看懂文章,看懂题目。

备考

既然单词这么重要的话,那毫无疑问大家就需要去背单词了,多看词汇书,做到看到每个单词就能马上反应过来它的汉语意思。

关于单词书的话,需要的童鞋参考这里(戳文字):

其实雅思考试中常说的同义替换,也就是单词和短语的积累量,如果你词汇量够大,文章和题目中的单词都认识,那么自然就知道哪两个单词或短语是同义词。

因此,同义替换的根本还是在于单词和短语的积累。

2

句法理解

考查点

句子是比单词和短语高一级的表意单元,其中涉及到了一些语法的知识,即使所有单词、短语都认识,也有可能会出现句子读不懂的情况。

有些题目就是和特定的句子挂钩的,需要你理解特定句子的含义,那么语法这一块的知识大家就需要加强,最重要的是要做句子分析。

27.

But they do not go to museums to read original manus of novels, perhaps because the availability of novels has depended on __ for so long, and also because with novels, the underlying ideas are the most important thing.

<剑桥 10 test2 第 27 题>

解析 :

本题目在文章中的对应句子为第二段的第二句:This might be explained by the fact that the novel has evolved precisely because of technological developments that made it possible to print out huge numbers of texts,....

这个题目备选项容易搞混的有 I basic technology 和 B massproduction,但是我们再看原文中的这个句子,fact 后面是一个同位语从句,在这个同位语从句中有个because of 引导的原因状语 technological developments,然后原文又用了一个定语从句来修饰这个 technological development,意思是“技术进步使得印刷大量的文本成为可能”。

那么题目中是问获得小说依赖于什么,根据原文是依赖于大规模生产的,这是直接原因,原文中的 make... possible 对应的是题目中的 depend on,技术进步是根本原因,而不是直接原因。因此,如果不理解这个句子的内部结构,就很容易看到 technological developments 选了错误的答案。

备考

这个部分大家需要做的练习就是长难句分析与翻译~

3

识别语义和逻辑关系

考查点

在理解句子的过程中,大家不仅要掌握语法知识,还要注意一些逻辑连接词,这些词可能是显性的,如because、and、the most,也有可能是隐性的,如 lead to、rare、least 等。这些逻辑关系词的存在有助于大家理解句子结构内部、句子之间甚至段落之间的关系,也可能是与具体的题目相联系的。这一部分的练习必不可少。

上一点中提到的例子也是可以适用于这一部分的,make...possible 就是隐藏的因果关系,科技进步使得大量印刷文本成为可能,而能够获得小说就是大规模印刷。由此可见,识别逻辑关系在雅思阅读中也是非常重要的。

备考

关于语义和逻辑关系的练习,主要包括最高级、因果关系、比较关系和否定四个部分。大家自己在读文章的过程中可以去特别留意一下是否有隐藏的逻辑关系,做一下相关训练。

参考:

4

文章结构

考查点

把握好文章结构,有助于多重题型的定位,如一些带有段落标题的填空题、匹配题中的 heading 题等。在做具体细节的题目时,大家也可以根据文章结构来完成初步的段落定位,提高做题速度。

我们可以一起来看一下剑桥 13 test3 的第一篇文章,通过每段的首句来了解文章结构。

The coconut palm

Para.1

For millennia, the coconut has been central to the lives of Polynesian and Asian peoples.

Para.2

Typically, we envisage coconuts as brown cannonballs that, when opened, provide sweet white flesh. But we see only parts of the fruit and now of the plant from which they come.

(根据 typically 这个词,我们可以推断出接下来的句子是这个段落的重点,因此,这里放的是两个句子。)

Para.3

Coconut palms produce as many as seventy fruits per year, weighing more than a kilogram each.

Para.4

Inside the shell are the nutrients (endosperm) needed by the developing seed.

Para.5

Their biology would appear to make coconuts the great maritime voyagers and coastal colonizers of the plant world.

Para.6

There have been centuries of academic debate over the origins of the coconut.

从段落的首句我们可以看出,这篇文章的结构还是比较清楚的,分别介绍了 coconut——椰子树——椰果——椰子壳——椰子的生物特性——起源这六个方面,大家只要熟悉了这个结构,直接就可以根据填空题对应到文章的二、三、四段,而且每个段落的题目对应都非常明确。

备考

虽然不是每篇文章的结构都像这篇这么清晰明了,但是一篇文章的行文思路是一定有的,那么我们在阅读的时候就要有意识地去思考它的整体框架是怎么样的,建议大家在阅读的时候可以做一下笔记,这样就可以根据笔记把文章的整体思路捋出来。

提高了阅读能力,大家还有一些考场事项需要注意。

注意事项

看清题目要求

读题的重要性就不多说了,大家在考试的时候需要留意一下填空题要写几个单词,备选项是否可以重复选择。

如果是判断题,是要写 YES/NO/NOT GIVEN 还是 /TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN,考试的时候尽量写全,不要单写一个字母。

这些要求与阅读能力无关,但却能实实在在地影响你的考试分数,所以千万不要在这些问题上失误。

?注意拼写和语法

错误的拼写和语法会扣分,这一点也非常重要,因此在考试的时候,记得仔细检查一下拼写和语法的问题。

猜对也是一种

能力

尽管我们在考前已经尽力提升自己了,但是我们仍然无法确保自己能够读懂试卷上的所有内容。这时当然要猜,或者说——推测。在阅读过程中,根据已知内容去推测不知道的内容也是阅读能力考查的一部分。碰到不懂的内容,放轻松,拿出看侦探片的推理本事吧!

按文章顺序找到答案

雅思文章的题目大部分都是按照行文思路来的,因此大家在做题的时候整体上应该是顺序的。建议大家在考试的时候按照“文章标题、段落首句(了解文章结构)——了解题型(根据前一步完成一部分题型)——了解段落内容(了解细节信息,帮助做后面的题目)——做题”这个顺序来做题。

把自己当做一张白纸

「把自己当成一张白纸」指的是在阅读的过程中,应当保持读到的信息不受其他因素干扰。雅思的阅读材料大多数是科普文章,如果恰巧你对于其中的某些知识有所了解的时候,千万不要被自己已有的知识影响到对于文章的理解。

答题应该是「从试卷上,并且仅从试卷上」获得信息。

以上就是雅思阅读新变化之段落标记题的减少带来的影响的全部内容,总的来说,段落标记题的减少对于我们来说有更多好的影响。因为它是一种费时正确率不太高的题型。它的减少意味着其他的题型出现频率升高,更利于我们快速做题,提高正确率。

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5:雅思托福阅读考题不同之处盘点

雅思托福阅读考题不同之处盘点

首先,雅思阅读共分为三个部分,学术类雅思的阅读部分有三篇文章,培训类有四篇短文加一篇长阅读的文章,长度基本等于学术类的一篇文章。总题数一般是40题,比较稳定,考试时间为一小时。并且,雅思阅读部分没有加试。再看托福阅读部分,没有类别之分,文章数量一般是三到五篇不等。如果有五篇,则意味着加试出现。当时试卷上并不会体现出加试的任何信息,所以考生必须做完所有题目。最终结果,加试不计入总分。考试时间根据具体文章数量而定,如果是三篇文章,则考试时间和雅思阅读一致,为一小时;如果是五篇文章,考试时间则延长到100分钟。

其次,双方在学术的部分也有不同。雅思的学术类考试比较常考的主要是生物类、社会类和历史类;托福的话题则更多偏向于理科类,比如生物、科技、自然等。

第三,双方的体裁也不尽相同。雅思阅读从近几年的趋势来看,以说明文为主,偶尔会涉及议论文;托福阅读除了说明文、议论文之外,还会考到历史类的记叙文。

当然,考试的最终结果取决于做题的成功率,所以要想取得好成绩,必须充分了解熟悉每个题型的做法。雅思阅读的题型比较丰富,主要分为判断、填空、选择和配对四大题型;托福阅读则以选择题为主,偶尔会涉及一些带有选项的配对题,类似于选择题的多选题。

所以,大家在决定出国学习的时候,需要首先对比一下这两种考试各自的特点,根据自己的能力和习惯选择相应的考试。

托福阅读快速阅读的方法

方法一:快速泛读(fastextensivereading)

这里讲的泛读是指广泛阅读大量涉及不同领域的文章,要求读得快,理解和掌握文中的主要内容就可以。要确定一个明确的阅读定额,定额要结合自己的实际,可多可少,例如每天读20页。

方法二:计时阅读(timedreading)

计时阅读每次进行5~10分钟即可,不宜太长。因为计时快速阅读,精力高度集中,时间一长,容易疲劳,精力分散反而乏味。

方法三:寻读(Scanning)

寻读又称查读,同略读一样,寻读也是一种快速阅读技巧。

寻读是一种从大量的资料中迅速查找某一项具体事实或某一项特定信息,如人物、事件、时间、地点、数字等,而对其它无关部分略去不读的快速阅读方法。

方法四:略读(skimming)

略读又称跳读(readingandskipping)或浏览(glancing),是一种专门的,非常实用的快速阅读技能。

略读有下列几个特点:

A.以极快的速度阅读文章,寻找字面上或事实上的主要信息和少量的阐述信息。

B.可以跳过某个部分或某些部分不读。

C.理解水平可以稍低一些,但也不能太低。

托福阅读识破意图的技巧

一、列举和并列句

列举指的是: First,... Second,... Third,.。。等逐条列出。并列句是指:A ,B and C,即逐项列出。它们共同的特征是列出二点或三点以上的条目。该类型语言点常考的题型是“细节性问题”,主要有两种:

1. Which 题型

该题型只要求从并列的三顶中选一项作为答案,其它条目与题目无关。在这种情况下,往往题目的答案出自最后一个选项。

2 . EXCEPT 题型

该题型俗称“三缺一”题型,即题目 4 个选项中有三个符合文章内容,剩下一个不符合,题目便是要求选出这个不符合文章内容的选项。例如: All of the following are mentioned as types of evidence concerning handedness EXCEPT 这种题型只适合于考并列、列举句,这是因为它要求其三个选项一定是文章中出现的,也就是并列或列举之处。利用这一特点。我们在读文章的时候就可多留意,如看到并列、列举句,可预想其有可能被考到;如发现题目中有“三缺一”题型,则应到并列、列举处找答案。

二、否定及转折句

否定句是指带有 NO 或 NOT , NEVER 等否定词的句子,而转折句则指带有 HOWEVER , BUT 或RATHER 等关联词引导的句子,它们可以用下面的句型说明: A is not B , as C , but is D 。对于以上的句型常出“推断性问题”。

三、举例句

句中由 as 或 such as , for example 等引导的短语或句子为举例句,常考“推断性问题”和“细节性问题”。上面句型中的 as C 为插入的举例句。

四、数字与年代

文中的数字、年代、日期等常常是出题者注意的考题点,如 年 10 月第 48 题。

五、最高级及绝对性词汇

文章中若出现 must , all , only , anyone , always , never 等绝对性词汇或 first , most beautiful 等最高级词汇,往往是考题要点,一般出“细节性题目”。这是因为它们都有一个共同的特点,那就是 概念绝对 , 答案唯一 ,无论是出题还是做题,不会产出歧义和疑问,因此很容易出题,答案绝对正确。相反地,如果文章中出现相对性的词汇、例如 Some of the people chose red hats,some chose green hats,and others blue ones. 其中 some 为相对性词汇,如果我们出这样一道题: What color hats did some people choose 那么就没有唯一正确的答案,因为有可能为 red,green 或 blue ,给评卷带来困难。

六、比较级及比喻

如果文中含有 more than 或 as as ,like ( a fly )等句型,则为比较级或比喻句结构,往往也是考题点,一般出“推断性题目”。

七、同位语及插入语

文章中带有由 that is ,i.e. ,or 等词汇引导的名词词组,放在一个名词后面,为同位语;插入语是指副词、不定式、分词、从句等结构故在句首,句中或句尾,不做句子成分,但修饰整个句子、表达作者感情的语法结构。 这些用逗号隔开的持殊结构往往也是考查的重点,一般会出“细节性题目”。

八、因果句

句中若有如下结构或词汇的称为因果句:

(1) 因果连词:because,since,for,as,therefore,so,consequently 等

(2)表示因果的动词:cause ,result in ,originate from 等;

(3) 表示因果的名词: base, basis, result,consequence 等,这些因果句都是指明某两个事件之间因果关系的,尤为出题者所青陈。因为通过出题可以考查文中两个事件内在的因果关系。此种句型一般出“推断性问题”。

九、段落句

文章各段第一句( 段首句 )和末段员后一句( 文尾句 )都是十分重要的地方,往往是文章作者表达中思想,进行总结综述的地方,因此常出(1)主题性问题,(2)细节性问题(3)结构性问题。

十、特殊标点

有一些特殊标点的含义也属于考查范围,它们是:

(1) 破折号,表示解释。考细节性问题;

(2) 括号,表示解释。考细节性问题;

(3) 冒号,一股同上,有时冒号也表示列举,则考“ EXCEPT ”题目;

(4) 引号。表示引用,考细节性问题:

(5) 惊叹号,表示作者感情,考态度性问题。

托福阅读快速笔记的方法

(1) 主题段和主题句的关键词。托福文章中的主题段和主题句都是参与搭建文章结 构的,因此记录它们中的几个关键词对于把握全文的结构非常重要。同时,文章中有很多的重要信息也会包含在这部分内容中。

(2) 时间和数字。一般来说,出现时间概念的文章或段落通常和时间顺序有关,作者会用不同的时间点串出一条时间线索。而个别数字的出现则意味着这个数字所阐述概念的重要性是不 容忽视的,因此,除非文章中出现了数据堆积的现象,考生都需要把数字记录下来。在记录时间和数字时需要注意两个问题,一是在记录时间的同时要同步记录下该时间点所发生事件的关键词,二是无论文章中的时间和数字是什么形式,考生在记录的时候都一律记录成阿拉伯数字,以便于之后做题时的查询。

(3) 人名、地名和专有名词。这些概念在文章中出现的时候,一般都会出现大写字母或引号等标记,非常有利于信息索引和定位。此外,当提到这几个具体的概念时,文章通常是在用这些概念说明某个理论或者观点,因此记录下这些概念对于理解相关理论和观点可以起到一定的辅助作用。

(4) 举例主体。有的时候,为了说明某些理论和观点,文章中会出现大段的举例文字。实际上,托福考试中考查这些例子具体内容的时候非常少,而更多的是考查作者使用这些例子的 原因或它们所证明的观点。因此,考生在快速笔记中只需要记录下例子是什么就可以了,至于例子中所阐述的具体信息,可以适当忽略。

(5) 新概念和局部核心概念。所谓“新概念”是指当考生读到文章某个位置时,之 前没有出现过的概念。这种新概念的出现,意味着已有的概念已经不能说明这里要阐述的问题,所以,新概念的出现必然也意味着一个重要信息的出现。而“局部核 心概念”是指在连续的几个段落中集中阐述的主题概念,对于这种概念来说,无论是作为观点还是举例大家都应该注意,因为它显然是作为重点在文章中被强调的。

(6) 重要的逻辑关系。很多考生在阅读文章的时候只注意到了文章所阐述的重要内容,但是忽略了信息之间的逻辑关系,因而对信息关联理解不准确,这也是一种严重的错误。因此,在阅读过程中记录下信息之间所产生的逻辑关系可以避免考生丢失信息之间的关联信息。

篇6:盘点雅思阅读高分的3个技巧

1、语法和词汇

考生想要在雅思考试中取得好成绩,没有一定量的词汇量是不可能的。当然我们在考试中可以通过上下文,转折词等等猜测生词的意思。但是,一旦生词量超过一定比例,势必会影响考生的理解。

2、了解雅思阅读文章的结构

考生如果对一篇文章的把控能力不高,也会影响最后的得分。小站老师认为:如果考生对于雅思考试阅读文章的行文结构有一定程度的了解,会大大提高考生答题的效率及准确率,并且节约答题时间

3、明白出题角度

明白雅思考试的出题角度这并不难。小站老建议各位考生仔细研究各种题型考察的是何种能力。然后有针对性的去锻炼这方面的能力。

雅思阅读审题难该如何克服

众所周知,雅思阅读考试的时间是60分钟整,排除我们正常填涂答题卡的时间(约5分钟)还只剩55分钟,期间我们要完成A类三篇(或G类五篇文章)的阅读,同时还要针对40道题进行作答,听上去就会让我们不由得有些担心时间够不够用的问题。

了解雅思阅读考试的同学们应该都知道雅思阅读考试有8大备考题型:list of headings,complete the sentences,answer short questions,picture filling ,summary,multiple choices,matching ,true or false or not given. 但是,很多考生只知其一不知其二,雅思考试可谓是明枪易躲暗箭难防,这所谓的“暗箭”就是八大题型均包含审题陷阱,也就是说八大题型都需要审题。这无疑对雅思考生又是一个重磅炸弹,在仅有的55分钟的做题时间里,还需要匀出一部分时间进行审题,简直是难上加难,烤鸭们莫急,莫急,小编在本篇文章就将针对八大题型审题问题进行分析,最终会抛出一秒钟击破雅思阅读八大题型审题瓶颈的方法。

简单来讲,就出题方式,可以将八大题型整合为三大题型分别为:判断题,填空题以及选择题。下面就来分别阐释三种题型。

八大题型中只有一种题可以归类为判断题,如果从字面义上稍微理解一下上文提及的八大题型,就不难发现,只有true or false or not given 一种题型属于判断题。一秒钟击破判断题审题瓶颈,我们在考试中如果遇到了对错无关题,只需要看清题目要求的true or false or not given还是yes or no or not given .80%的题目要求将正确的选项用TRUE 表示,错误选项用FALSE表示。但是也有20%的题目要求相应的用YES/NO来表示正确以及错误选项。如果不能很清楚的看清题目要求,那我们的答案是会按照错误去处理的,所以一定要注意。

针对填空题这种形式的考题,总体来讲有几种,summary, complete the sentences, answer short questions, picture filling这几种。在此,有必要ps小注一下:summary(摘要题)这种题有两种出题形式,手边有剑桥六这本书的同学可以翻到97页这是一种填空式的摘要题,而翻到91页审题会发现同样的summary可是形式确实选择题。本段针对summary的填空题型审题原则进行阐释。填空题我们在审题的过程中肯定会发现大写黑体加粗的几个词NO MORE THAN ? WORDS 翻译过来即:不超过?单词。我们可以用一个数学等式来表示即:小于等于?单词。一般情况下都是小于等于三个单词,而个别情况下我们还会发现小于等于两个单词的情况出现。所以一秒钟的时间只需要看清问号是数字几就可以了。

最后一种就是选择题,这种考题分为:list of headings,matching,summary,multiple choice 这几种题型。首先:list of headings题请参考剑桥四第96页。切忌:这种题答案唯一性,用过一次即在备选项中排除。再有matching ,summary 这种题请将一秒钟的时间用于寻找题目要求中有无NB两个字母,如果有请记住:有且只有一个选项需用两次。答案不再唯一性。如果没有则答案唯一性。最后 multiple choice 看清题目所配题号则可知道单选或多选。

以上就是雅思阅读题型审题难点的相关介绍,审题是雅思阅读解题的第一步,如果审题这一关就没做好的话,那么解题的正确率就不用谈了,只有把雅思阅读各类题型的审题首先做到位了,才有可能整体提高雅思阅读的解题效率和准确率。

雅思阅读八大题型之判断题解答

雅思阅读主要有以下八大题型:判断题(TURE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN),归纳题(SUMMARY),段落标题配对题(LIST OF HEADINGS),配对题(MATCHING),选择题(MUTILPCHIOCE),填空题(COMPLETION),简答题(SHORT ANSWER)和图表题(TABLE)。其中前四类题型是雅思阅读的必考题型。这四类题型对于多数考生来说可谓是四大名“不”——读不懂题、找不到文中出处、得不出答案、时间不够。在时间紧迫的情况下,多数考生往往匆匆浏览完题干后就进入正文阅读了,但这会造成一个巨大隐患——由于潦草读题导致把握不住原文的阅读重心,解题时往往重复阅读原文,大大浪费了宝贵的时间。所以广大考生们一定要扭转思路——读题比解题更重要!题干读懂读到位了,就是在为你的阅读和解题节省时间、提高准确率。本文主要从判断题(TURE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN)的读题和解题技巧出发,为解决考生们的四大名“不”困扰给出思路。

对于判断题,让大多数考生十分困惑的就是FALSE和NOT GIVEN之间的区别。以下试看一例:

原文:Sydney harbor is one of the largest in the world.

题干:Sydney harbor is the largest in the world.

有同学就说:我知道,世界上最大的港口是Holland的Rotterdam,而不是悉尼港,因此这道题是FALSE。但是雅思阅读的判断题是语言类的考试,不是常识考试,判断一道题到底是TRUE,FALSE还是NOT GIVEN要从这三点基本原则出发,即原文和题干之间是一致性则为TRUE,矛盾性则为FALSE,不确定性则为NOT GIVEN。比如上文的原文说悉尼港是世界第一大港口之一,那么有可能悉尼港是第一大,也有可能是第二大,因此题干的表述“悉尼港是世界第一大港口”就是不确定的,因此为NOT GIVEN。

关于判断题的读题技巧,本文主要介绍以下六点原则,主要帮助考生在读题时定位考点,po解题目。

⑴信号词原则:先在题干中划出定位信号词,要注意名词是关键,但要挑选“长相别致”的名词,比如:时间、数字、年代、人名、地名、机构名称、专有名词、特殊称谓、大写字母、斜体字等。这些信号词有助于考生回原文快速准确定位题干出处。

⑵但是如果题干没有明显信号词怎么办?可联系判断题的出题特点采用关系原则和顺序原则:

第一,从出题特点来看,判断题的考点除了比较明确的要考数字时间范围的精确度以外,更多的是考两个事物之间的“关系”,包括并列、因果、递进、转折、主被动等明显关系,以及隐藏着的隐性“关系”。因此审题时先找出题干中产生关系的两个事物A和B,然后以A和B为定位关键词回原文定位,具体情况见下:①A和B都在文中出现,但文中二者并无任何关系,即题干中的关系在文中不存在,此时答案即为NOT GIVEN;②A和B存在,但文中关系表述与题干相抵触,则答案为FALSE;③A和B存在,文中表述的二者关系和题干中的为同义转换,即表述一致,那么答案为TRUE;④A和B中有一者在文中未出现,且没有出现他们的近义或反义表达,则答案也为NOT GIVEN,因为产生“关系”的事物都没有全部出现,就更不用说二者的关系了。

第二,从顺序原则的角度来看,判断题的出题顺序基本与原文行文一致,因此要先解容易定位或者相对容易判断题干中关系的题目,缩小答案的搜索范围后再解其余题目。例如,第一和第二小题没有明确定位关键词,而第三小题题干中有大写的地名或年代容易回原文定位,则可先对第三小题进行定位,然后在第三题的文中相对应部分之前的文章内容中寻读第一和第二小题的对应点。

以剑六TEST 2的Passage 3为例,从NO.32到NO.40为判断题:

32. For the earliest tribes, the concept of sufficiency was more important than the concept of quantity.

33. Indigenous Tasmanians used only four terms to indicate numbers of objects.

34. Some peoples with simple number systems use body language to prevent misunderstanding of expressions of number.

35. All cultures have been able to express large numbers clearly.

36. The word ‘thousand’ has Anglo-Saxon origins.

37. In general, people in seventh-century Europe had poor counting ability.

38. In the Tsimshian language, the number for long objects and canoes is expressed with the same word.

39. The Tsimshian language contains both older and newer systems of counting.

40. Early peoples found it easier to count by using their fingers than a group of pebbles.

解题思路:

应先解33、36、37、38及39这些题中有大写字母或年代这些相对容易定位的题目,例如33题在文中对应的部分为第三小节开头,则根据顺序原则32题在文中的对应部分最后可能出现在开头两个小节中,这样一来寻读32题的范围就缩小了。

再者,以“关系”的视角来解题,那么32题可以被看成是the concept of sufficiency 与the concept of quantity之间的比较关系,以这两项回原文寻读,对应点为“Our ancestors had little use for actual numbers; instead their considerations would have been more of the kind. Is this enough? Rather than how many when they were engaged in food gathering, for example.”此句以 Is this enough 和How many两个短句来同义替代题干中的两个concept,而句中提到的我们的祖先考虑较多的是够不够而不是有多少则来同义转换题干中的more important,因此由于比项均出现且二者的“关系”在文中也有同义表达,此题答案即为TRUE.此外40题也可以看作是有“关系”的题目,即fingers 与 groups of pebbles之间的关系,用哪一个数数更容易,文中对应点位 “Counting is not directly related to the formation of a number concept because it is possible to count by matching the items being counted against a group of pebbles, grains of corn, or the counter’s fingers.”,虽然产生“关系”的手指与鹅卵石均有重现,但二者并无任何比较关系,因此答案为NOT GIVEN.

⑶注意否定考点词:否定考点词是判断题中非常高频、重要及优先的考点词,除了not, never, hardly, few, little, 以及某些否定前缀如dis, mis, in, un等之外,考生还需要了解一些隐含或间接的否定词,如fail to, be at a loss to, be free of, lack, be short of等等。例如:

题干: London Zoo’s advertisements are dishonest.

原文: One of London Zoo’s recent advertisements caused me some irritation, so patently did it distort the reality.

首先确定题目中的考点为否定词dishonest, 否定考点词在思路上一定要回原文找否定对应,具体做法是将考点词dishonest一分为二,分成dis与honest两部分,我们现在只需回原文找到这两个部分分别的对应点就可以确定答案为TRUE了,如果发现方向是相反的,则FALSE, 没有讲是否诚实的话,那就选NOT GIVEN. 结果在原文中发现了distort中的否定前缀dis, 而在其后又找到了honest 的对应词汇reality, 答案直接锁定TRUE. 即使不认识distort这个词,或者说原文中的这个倒装句根本看不懂,但是只要你掌握了这种对应法,一切问题都可迎刃而解。

⑷考点唯一原则:有的考生还会有个小疑问,原文中讲的是伦敦动物园的广告之一,而题目中则泛指了伦敦动物园的广告,为什么不是NOT GIVEN, 因为不清楚是不是所有的广告都不诚实。做这种题要采用考点唯一原则,即每道题目只设置一个陷阱,大家又问,那这个唯一的考点为什么一定是dishonest,而不是advertisements, 道理很简单,否定词是优先考点。那么除了否定词是考点外,还有哪些必然属于考点呢?题干中必是考点的包括:数字对应的内容(时间、增降幅度)、比较级、最高级、绝对词、否定词、句内关系。

再看一例:

题干: Zoos made an insignificant contribution to conservation up until 30 years ago.

原文: Zoos were originally created as places of entertainment, and their suggested involvement with conservation didn’t seriously arise until about 30 years ago.

这道题目的考点换成了insignificant, 这次的对应词不像上一道题目那么好找,in这次对应是didn’t, 而significant对应的是seriously arise, 答案同样为TRUE.

还是这篇文章里的一道题目:

题干: The number of successful zoo conservation programmes is unsatisfactory.

原文: Today approximately 16 species might be said to have been “saved” by captive breeding prgrammes, although a number of these can hardly be looked upon as resounding successes.

现在大家一定已经清楚了考点词为unsatisfactory, 再回原文找一下对应,这次un对应hardly, 而satisfactory对应的是success.

综合两道题目来看,考点都为否定词,做题目的思路上基本一致,都在找对应,而答案又惊人地一致,都选了TRUE.请仔细体会。

下面给大家一道题目,练习一下:

题干: Biologists are unable to explain why the frogs are dying.

原文: Biologists are at a loss to explain their demise.

能不能找到unable的对应词呢?如果你并不认识原文中的间接否定短语be at a loss to 的话,那么至少你知道loss这个词能够表明否定含义,否定词对应到了否定词,其他的就不用担心了。答案为TURE。原文中的短语be at a loss to 意思即为“不知道,不知所措。”请注意积累。

⑸中心词原则:如果题干中的名词是文章中心词,比如在文章的标题中出现,那么这个名词绝不是信号词,因为很多段落中都会出现该名词,很难判断出题目落在哪个段落。

⑹转换词性原则:若在题干中无法找到合适的名词,可以换其他词性→形容词和副词的比较级、最高级和反义词;动词的同义词、反义词和该动词的范围程度;数词在英语和阿拉伯数字的互相转换(50%——FIFTY PERCENT / HALF);连词在文章本身中隐含答案,最常暗示答案的几个连词是BUT,HOWEVER,WHILE,AND, ALSO, MOREOVER.雅思阅读对冠词、介词、代词、感叹词这四种词性基本不进行考查。

以上是判断题的读题和解题思路,考生们切忌“光说不练、纸上谈兵”,带着每一类题型的“战略战术”去研究至少两套阅读真题,真正做到技巧和做题相结合的“练兵”,才能找出自己的薄弱点,各个击破。

雅思时事阅读:中国水问题的希望——海水淡化

More government support, including subsidies and a favorable pricing mechanism, is neededfor the country to use desalinated seawater to quench its thirst, a top industry expert said.

“The lack of an effective pricing mechanism for desalinated water and support for an operablepolicy is affecting the development of the country's sea desalination industry,” said Li Linmei,director of the State Oceanic Administration's Institute of Seawater Desalination andMultipurpose Utilization in Tianjin.

The country aims to produce 2.2 million cubic meters of desalinated seawater daily in ,about three times current capacity, according to a National Development and ReformCommission plan released last year.

Current domestic water prices range from 2.4 yuan to 4.9 yuan a metric ton in the coastalregions, while the price of water for industry ranges from 3.3 yuan to 7.9 yuan a ton, accordingto ChinaWaterNet.

However, desalination plants can produce 674,000 tons daily at a cost of about 5 yuan ($0.80)a ton - not including infrastructure such as pipelines.

Li said the government should consider bringing desalinated water into the water grid.

Aside from subsidies and funding for pilot programs, Li believes desalination is a key part ofwater security.

“The seawater desalination industry is as important as water conservancy projects for China tocope with its water shortage,” Li said.

China suffers from severe water shortages, nearly 54 billion cubic meters on average everyyear. This means that more than 66 percent of cities experience water shortages.

To compound that difficulty, water consumption is expected to surge to about 700 billion cubicmeters in 2030, up from 600 billion cubic meters.

Facing such a severe shortage, authorities are taking measures.

In March, the NDRC identified the regions and companies selected to carry out the firstdesalination projects, including heavily populated areas such as Zhejiang and Hebei provinces,and the municipalities of Shenzhen and Tianjin.

The commission asked regions and companies to encourage desalinated water use forindustrial and domestic purposes.

The industry is expected to get a 10-billion-yuan boost from the plan.

Li said the policy showed the country's determination and confidence in boosting the industry.

Key technology

Reverse osmosis technology and other areas of development vital for desalination have beenmastered, Li said.

Osmosis technology pushes water under high pressure through fine membranes, filtering thesalt.

Coupled with the distilling process of high-pressure steam and evaporators, this means that thetechnology is, in more ways than one, on tap.

The country has 16 seawater desalination plants with a daily capacity of more than 10,000metric tons of fresh water, according to the NDRC.

“Although we have made great progress in technology, large-scale plants in China still dependon foreign technology,” Li said.

Desalination is used in more than 150 countries to supply water to more than 200 millionpeople.

The Tianjin Institute of Seawater Desalination and Multipurpose Utilization is strengtheninginternational cooperation to raise China's domestic seawater desalination technology and boostexports, Li said.

There are concerns about the potential environmental effects of large-scale seawaterdesalination plants, especially wastewater discharges.

Li said the government should launch an environmental assessment before any major upgrade.

尽管中国已将海水淡化视为解决沿海未来淡水资源短缺的措施之一,但是业内专家认为,淡化水的广泛应用仍存在一定难度。

国家海洋局天津海水淡化与综合利用研究所所长李琳梅在接受本报专访时指出,“尚未形成有效淡化水价格机制以及缺乏具体可操作的优惠政策在一定程度上影响了中国海水淡化产业的发展。”

相关数据显示,我国海水淡化装机能力为67.4m3/d,海水淡化水综合成本价格约为5元/吨左右。

中国水网显示目前我国沿海居民生活用水价格介于为2.4元/吨~4.9元/吨;工业用水价格3.3元/吨~7.85元/吨。与自来水相比,淡化水显然没有价格优势。

李琳梅提出,为了促进中国海水淡化产业的发展,国家首先要将海水淡化水视为保障国家水资源安全的重要组成,将淡化水纳入国家水资源配置体系和区域水资源规划。同时,政府应为公益性海水淡化工程提供补贴。

根据去年国家发展改革委员会发布的《海水淡化产业发展“十二五”规划》,到,海水淡化产能规模将达到220万立方米/日以上,约为目前产能的3倍。

该规划还提出,到20,海水淡化对解决海岛新增供水量的贡献率达到50%以上,对沿海缺水地区新增工业供水量的贡献率达到15%以上。

李琳梅指出,目前中国海水淡化技术发展已基本成熟,但其市场的培育和发展需要实质性的产业政策支持。

她认为国家财政应设立专项资金,用于支持具有自主创新的海水淡化技术及其规模化示范的试点项目。

李琳梅说:“作为中国应对水资源短缺的措施,海水淡化与水资源保护同等重要。”

根据水利部发布的统计数据,我国年平均缺水量接近540亿立方米,66%以上的城市受到水资源短缺的困扰。

水资源缺口仍在不断扩大。到2030年,年水资源消耗量将由目前的600亿立方米增至7000亿立方米。

面对如此严峻的水资源短缺,国家开始采取措施以推动海水淡化产业发展。

三月份,国家发改委公布了第一批海水淡化工程试点区域和企业,浙江、河北、深圳和天津均榜上有名。

发改委要求试点区域和企业积极促进将淡化水应用于工业和住宅。

国家发改委预计,海水淡化设备的快速发展将使该行业年均增长达10亿元。

李琳梅说,这些政策初步显示了国家推动海水淡化产业发展的决心和信心。

李琳梅说,经过50多年的研究,我国已经掌握了反渗透海水淡化技术和低温多效蒸馏海水淡化技术。

反渗透技术利用高压推动水通过膜分离出盐,而低温多效蒸馏则由多级组成,通过利用低压蒸汽以产生高纯水。

国家发改委表示,我国产水量高于10000立方米/天的海水淡化工程有16个。

“尽管我们在海水淡化技术领域已经取得了长足的进步,但目前国内大型海水淡化工程仍主要使用国外技术。”李琳梅这样表示。将国产海水淡化技术应用于工程实践,是提高我国海水淡化自主创新能力的关键。

至20,海水淡化工程已被应用于世界上150多个国家,解决了2亿多人的饮水问题。

李琳梅说,目前淡化所正积极开展国际合作,以提升我国自主海水淡化技术在国际市场中的地位,促进国产淡化设备大规模向国外输出。

面对迅速发展的中国海水淡化产业,也有人对大规模海水淡化工程的潜在环境影响表示担忧。因为浓海水排放可能会影响临海水域的水质,引起受纳海域盐度、温度的升高。

李琳梅表示政府应对高盐度浓海水的排放进行环境影响评估,并提供排放标准。

篇7:雅思阅读技巧盘点之多快好省做对Summary

雅思阅读技巧盘点之:多快好省做对Summary

一、无选项雅思阅读Summary的特征

1、主要针对文章的某一段或某几段的主要内容进行概括或改写,上下句之间有一定的联系。

2、每个空格的间隔时近时远,例如剑7 T1 P1的summary就定位在D段一段中,而剑5 T1 P1的则分散在四个段落中,由此可见定位准确是解题的关键步骤。但考生们不用着急,一般summary的定位还是比较容易的,且大部分是涉及到原文的两三段。即使某道题比较难找到,也可以先做summary的其他题,切勿因小失大。

3、一般是顺序原则,较少乱序。

4、填的答案多是原文原词,很少需要改变语态和词性,相对简单。

二、雅思阅读Summary的解题步骤

1、阅读文章的大标题和小标题。其实拿到一篇文章,不论有哪些题型,第一步都要阅读文章的大标题和小标题,大致掌握文章主题和推测文章的写作思路和结构。

2、仔细审题。 (1)注意字数限制(Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer. ),一般有只能填一个、不超过两个和不超过三个单词。(2)有时题目会明确告知summary在原文中的起始段落。

3、根据summary的小标题或者首句,回原文确定起始位置。

4、划出第一题的定位词和关键词(指紧挨着空格的并且肯定会被同义替换的单词)。

5、通过关键词及空格前后的逻辑关系来推测所填词的语法特征。(1)常考词性有名词、形容词、动词和副词,但主要以“名词和形容词”为主,在剑桥真题5-9中的summary共63个,名词58个占92%,形容词5个占8%。(2)如果所填词是名词,还可以进一步去预测是人还是物,单复数,有时甚至能推测出是具体物还是抽象物,但还是要根据实际情况而定,不要为了预测而硬预测。

6、回到原文,通过略读定位到题目位置。

7、精读定位词所在的句子,一定要读完整。

8、对应关键词和逻辑关系后,通过语法来确定答案。

9、继续下一题。

二、雅思阅读Summary解题小贴士

1、一定要注意字数限制。有不少考生会因为初次考试紧张而忘记审题,同样的问题在判断题的TRUE和YES中也有体现。

2、如果在题目或者原文中看到this,that,those,these,it等指代词,一定要把指代词的内容搞清楚,因为指代词往往是考点,或者通过指代词所指内容能提示解题。

3、如果定位词所在句子找不到关键词的同义替换或逻辑关系,一般可以往下看一句,最多往下看两句。

4、因为是顺序出题,所以实在是有定位不到的题要学会放弃,先做下一题,然后在上下两题的定位之间再寻找一次。

总而言之,无选项summary是考生必须要得到分数的题型。解题步骤大致为了解文章主题,审题,圈划定位词和关键词,预测语法特征,回原文精读。除了熟练掌握做题步骤和技巧之外,基础语法和同义替换也是加快做题速度,提高正确率的利剑。每次做完题都要认真分析错误原因,是定位不准确,同义替换没背出还是句意或逻辑关系理解错误,并积累每道题目(不论对错)和题目对应原文句子的生词和同义替换。考生不能太过沉迷于技巧,毕竟扎实的基本功和踏实的学习态度才是通过雅思,成功打开国外理想大学大门的钥匙。

雅思阅读模拟题:Search begins for Earth

Search begins for 'Earth' beyond solar system

Staff and agencies

Wednesday December 27, 2006

Guardian Unlimited

1. A European spacecraft took off today to spearhead the search for another “Earth” among the stars.

2. The Corot space telescope blasted off aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan shortly after 2.20pm.

3. Corot, short for convection rotation and planetary transits, is the first instrument capable of finding small rocky planets beyond the solar system. Any such planet situated in the right orbit stands a good chance of having liquid water on its surface, and quite possibly life, although a leading scientist involved in the project said it was unlikely to find “any little green men”.

4. Developed by the French space agency, CNES, and partnered by the European Space Agency (ESA), Austria, Belgium, Germany, Brazil and Spain, Corot will monitor around 120,000 stars with its 27cm telescope from a polar orbit 514 miles above the Earth. Over two and a half years, it will focus on five to six different areas of the sky, measuring the brightness of about 10,000 stars every 512 seconds.

5. “At the present moment we are hoping to find out more about the nature of planets around stars which are potential habitats. We are looking at habitable planets, not inhabited planets. We are not going to find any little green men,” Professor Ian Roxburgh, an ESA scientist who has been involved with Corot since its inception, told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.

6. Prof Roxburgh said it was hoped Corot would find “rocky planets that could develop an atmosphere and, if they are the right distance from their parent star, they could have water”.

7. To search for planets, the telescope will look for the dimming of starlight caused when an object passes in front of a star, known as a “transit”. Although it will take more sophisticated space telescopes planned in the next 10 years to confirm the presence of an Earth-like planet with oxygen and liquid water, Corot will let scientists know where to point their lenses.

8. Measurements of minute changes in brightness will enable scientists to detect giant Jupiter-like gas planets as well as small rocky ones. It is the rocky planets - that could be no bigger than about twice the size of the Earth - which will cause the most excitement. Scientists expect to find between 10 and 40 of these smaller planets.

9. Corot will also probe into stellar interiors by studying the acoustic waves that ripple across the surface of stars, a technique called “asteroseismology”.

10. The nature of the ripples allows astronomers to calculate a star's precise mass, age and chemical composition.

11. “A planet passing in front of a star can be detected by the fall in light from that star. Small oscillations of the star also produce changes in the light emitted, which reveal what the star is made of and how they are structured internally. This data will provide a major boost to our understanding of how stars form and evolve,” Prof Roxburgh said.

12. Since the discovery in 1995 of the first “exoplanet” - a planet orbiting a star other than the Sun - more than 200 others have been found by ground-based observatories.

13. Until now the usual method of finding exoplanets has been to detect the “wobble” their gravity imparts on parent stars. But only giant gaseous planets bigger than Jupiter can be found this way, and they are unlikely to harbour life.

14. In the 2010s, ESA plans to launch Darwin, a fleet of four or five interlinked space telescopes that will not only spot small rocky planets, but analyse their atmospheres for signs of biological activity.

15. At around the same time, the US space agency, Nasa, will launch Terrestrial Planet Finder, another space telescope designed to locate Earth-like planets.
