篇1:雅思阅读技巧总结之快速定位

雅思阅读技巧总结之快速定位

如何选取雅思阅读定位词?

首先,选取定位词需要遵循一个总的原则,即——以名词为主。

在此提醒烤鸭们不要忘记了雅思阅读考试的核心是同义替换,从考试核心出发,名词在各类词性中意思相对唯一且明确,也因此不容易出现替换,所以在选取定位词的过程中,首先需要寻找的便是名词。

当然这并不表示所有的名词都可以用作定位词。我们首先选取名词作为定位词的原因是其意思相对唯一明确,不易替换,但是名词中有一类是不符合这个特点的——抽象名词。

抽象名词可以举出很多例 子, 诸 如 reason,idea,definition… 我 们 以definition 为例,definition 的意思是“定义,解释”,一篇文章中可能会出现对多个专家学者对某一特定现象的解释或阐释,那么在这篇文章中,每一个学者说过的话,都是一个“definition”,如此一来,如果我们选择某一题目中的“definition”作为定位词,那么该题目便无法对应到文章中的具体部分,显然就无法进一步解答了。

因此,在定位词的选取上,我们要遵循名词为主的总原则,但是要排除掉名词中的抽象名词一类。

寻找特殊词

在以名词为主的总原则下,我们要进一步睁大我们的眼睛,去发现题目中的“特殊词”。那么何为“特殊词”?常见的“特殊词”又有哪些?

(1)以大写、斜体形式出现的词

雅思阅读中会有字体上的差异,大多数情况下,如果我们在题目中读到了以大写或是斜体形式出现的单词,这些词因其“外形”上的与众不同,值得我们格外留意,一般来讲,这类词是适合选择的定位词。

(2)数字

众所周知,英文里的数字相对来讲拼写繁琐,所以大多数情况下,阅读中出现的数字都是以阿拉伯数字形式出现的,包括百分数、分数等等,也因此数字在大多数情况下在一堆英文字母里就显得格外突出啦!所以,一般来讲,数字同样也是适合选作定位的“特殊词”之一。

(3)时间

雅思阅读中涉及到的时间非常多,大到世纪,小到分秒。时间同样是一类适合选择作为定位词的“特殊词”。时间的特性之一便是其唯一性,而这恰恰符合我们选择定位词的要求,诸如 1985、二十世纪等都是唯一且确定的时间,同样容易发现,且不易替换。更不用说年份这类词尝尝是以阿拉伯数字形式出现的,就更加显眼了!

(4)人名

学术类阅读中常常涉及各类专家、学者,因此人名同样是出镜频率较高的一类“特殊词”。人名出现需要大写,且拼写方式明显与其他词不同,烤鸭们最头疼的替换问题更是完全不需要担心!因此,一般情况下,人名同样是题目中适合作为定位词的“特殊词”。

雅思阅读定位特殊词的特殊情况

首先看题目中有无“特殊词”的原因是其显眼好找,且不易替换的特性。“不易替换”

当然不等于“不会替换”,考官们在“特殊词”上,也会想尽办法,企图难倒众烤鸭们。

例如数字上容易出现特殊情况的百分数。《剑桥雅思 7》Test 2 Passage 3 的第 34题 :

“The survey concluded that one-fifth or 20% of the household transport requirement as outside the local area.”中选择“20%”作为定位词,而回到文章中却根本没有发现 20% 这个数字,实际上就是考官耍了一个小trick,20% outside 在文章中变成了 80% within。

所以,当用百分数 X 作为定位词没有找到对应时,我们要去寻找 1-X。

遇到雅思阅读定位词没有特殊词怎么办?

要始终坚信,考官是冷酷无情的!他们是不会轻易放过烤鸭们的,所以大多数情况下,只有少部分题目中会出现上述容易定位的“特殊词”。在没有“特殊词”的情况下,我们需要选择普通词作为主要定位词。

首先,普通词定位同样是建立在词性原则基础上的,即以名词为主。

其次,我们在选取普通定位词的时候,重点是关注一道题目中的主语名词和宾语名词。

一般情况下,我们以主语名词为主,宾语名词为辅。原因在于主语名词中的“主”字,其重要性已经不言而喻,所以一道没有“特殊词”的题目,我们首先应当关注主语名词。

但是,当宾语名词与主语名词相比,宾语名词是一个更加不熟悉、不常见,甚至完全不认识的词时,宾语名词就一跃成为了主要定位词。原因有两点:

(1)该词在文章中的对应性很强,有可能仅在此文中出现并进行专门讨论。

(2)该词本身就是一个专有名词,那么该词就从一个所谓的“普通词”变成了不易,甚至是无法替换的“特殊词”。

例 如, 剑 7 Test 1 Passage 2 中 第 22 题:

“Feeding increasing populations is possible due primarily to improved irrigation systems.”中的“irrigation systems”,即灌溉系统一词,大多数烤鸭初看该词并不知道其准确意思,但是它属于要以宾语名词为主的情况,且本身就是一个专有名词,文中该词也是以原词形式出现的。

同样的情况也适用于第 26 题:

“In the future, governments should maintain ownership of water infrastructures.”的“infrastructures”一词。

所以,当没有“特殊词”,而只能选用普通词定位时,我们需要将题目中的主语名词和宾语名词选出并比较,一般情况下以主语名词为主,宾语名词为辅;当宾语名词更加不熟悉、不常见,甚至完全不认识时,以宾语名词为主要定位词。同时需要提出的是,普通词定位大概率会出现同义替换,要想做到精确定位,除了掌握好定位原则之外,还需要在同义词上多下功夫!

雅思阅读的正确答题顺序:顺序原则

什么是“顺序原则”?即雅思官方在题型特点注释中所述的“Answers are in passage order.”若某题型符合这一描述,考生可以顺着题号一题一题地往文章更靠后的位置找答案。

顺序原则与题型:宏观地看一篇雅思阅读文章包涵的全部题型,答案分布的顺序也符合题型出现的先后顺序,例如全文包含先判断题,后填空题这两种题型,则较有可能出现的情况是判断题答案分布在文章的前半部分,而填空题在文章后半部分。例如: 剑桥雅思真题集系列7,Test 4 Passage 1: 前7题判断题分布于前6个段落,剩下的段落填空题分布于第9段,和前面7段无关。

接下来说说哪些题型符合“Answers are in passage order”(我们把题型总体分成四大类:判断、选择、填空和配对)

1.判断题,包括identifying information(TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN)和identifying writer’s views(YES/NO/NOT GIVEN)均严格符合“顺序原则”。

2.选择题。四选一的单选题符合顺序原则,而多选题则无所谓顺序原则,所选答案在list中的位置可能与它们在文章中出现的先后顺序不吻合,但是这种题型在答题卷上以任何顺序写出所选答案都可以。

3.填空题,(在此我们把所有要填单词作答的题型全部归为填空题),除段落概括填空(summary completion)以外,简答题(short answer questions)、句子填空(sentence completion)、表格填空(table completion)、笔记填空(notes completion)、流程图填空(flow-chart completion)和示意图填空(diagram labeling)均符合“顺序原则”。针对段落概括填空,我们可以默认它也为顺序原则,但需要做好个别答案乱序的心理准备(例如C7T4P1(Ant Intelligence)、C8T2P2(The Little Ice Age)

4.配对题。字面理解,“配对”即把混乱的项与相应部分对应起来,因此配对题很自然就是乱序的,包括段落标题配对(matching headings)、段落信息配对(matching information)、人名与陈述配对(matching people to statements)和事件与时间段配对(matching events to time periods)等。

雅思阅读答题注意事项

需要注意的是,顺序原则仅适用于同一题型内,若跨越了题型,就不一定了。例如:剑桥雅思C9T1Q18-26,18题至20题为short answer questions,21题至26题为identifying writer’s views,两种题型均符合顺序原则,但是20题的答案在文章的相应位置并不一定出现在21题答案的相应位置之前。

雅思阅读解题指导方针

最后来说说雅思阅读做题顺序原则和解题过程的关系。两者的关系主要体现在前者对如何读题干的影响。对于遵守顺序题型的题型,考生在审阅题干时候可以选择审一题解一题的做法,因为相关内容在文中按顺序出现,这样做考生也会感到循序渐进,脉络清楚。当然,选择在一开始讲该题型的每个题干都审阅一遍也未尝不可,可先完成较容易定位的题目,再活用顺序原则,缩小较难定位题目所需的搜索范围。对于乱序题型,特别是段落信息配对题,考生须在文中搜索答案之前审阅全部题干,因为信息在文中的分布为乱序,所以第1题的信息有可能出现在比如,倒数第二段,而我们的阅读顺序,如前文所述,肯定是从头段至尾段的。

雅思阅读模拟题:经济进化论

Economic Evolution

A Living along the Orinoco River that borders Brazil and Venezuela are the Yanomam people, hunter-gatherers whose average annual income has been estimated at the equivalent of $90 per person per year. Living along the Hudson River that borders New York State and New Jersey are the Manhattan people, consumer traders whose average annual income has been estimated at $36,000 per person per year. That dramatic difference of 400 times, however, pales in comparison to the differences in Stock Keeping Units (SKUs, a measure of the number of types of retail products available), which has been estimated at 300 for the Yanomam and 10 billion for the Manhattans, a difference of 33 million times.

B How did this happen? According to economist Eric D. Beinhocker, who published these calculations in his revelatory work The Origin of Wealth (Harvard Business School Press, ), the explanation is to be found in complexity theory. Evolution and economics are not just analogous to each other, but they are actually two forms of a larger phenomenon called complex adaptive systems, in which individual elements, parts or agents interact, then process information and adapt their behavior to changing conditions. Immune systems, ecosystems, language, the law and the Internet are all examples of complex adaptive systems.

C In biological evolution, nature selects from the variation produced by random genetic mutations and the mixing of parental genes. Out of that process of cumulative selection emerges complexity and diversity. In economic evolution, our material economy proceeds through the production and selection of numerous permutations of countless products. Those 10 billion products in the Manhattan village represent only those variations that made it to market, after which there is a cumulative selection by consumers in the marketplace for those deemed most useful:VHS over Betamax, DVDs over VHS, CDs over vinyl records, flip phones over brick phones, computers over typewriters, Google over Altavista, SUVs over station wagons, paper books over e-books (still), and Internet news over network news (soon).Those that are purchased “survive” and “reproduce” into the future through repetitive use and remanufacturing.

D As with living organisms and ecosystems, the economy looks designed—so just as humans naturally deduce the existence of a top-down intelligent designer, humans also (understandably) infer that a top-down government designer is needed in nearly every aspect of the economy. But just as living organisms are shaped from the bottom up by natural selection, the economy is molded from the bottom up by the invisible hand. The correspondence between evolution and economics is not perfect, because some top-down institutional rules and laws are needed to provide a structure within which free and fair trade can occur. But too much top-down interference into the marketplace makes trade neither free nor fair. When such attempts have been made in the past they have failed—because markets are far too complex, interactive and autocatalytic to be designed from the top down. In his 1922 book, Socialism, Ludwig Von Mises spelled out the reasons why, most notably the problem of “economic calculation” in a planned socialist economy. In capitalism, prices are in constant and rapid flux and are determined from below by individuals freely exchanging in the marketplace. Money is a means of exchange, and prices are the information people use to guide their choices. Von Mises demonstrated that socialist economies depend on capitalist economies to determine what prices should be assigned to goods and services. And they do so cumbersomely and inefficiently. Relatively free markets are, ultimately, the only way to find out what buyers are willing to pay and what sellers are willing to accept.

E Economics helps to explain how Yanomam-like hunter-gatherers evolved into Manhattan-like consumer-traders. In the Nineteenth century French economist Frederic Bastiat well captured the principle: “Where goods do not cross frontiers, armies will.“ In addition to being fierce warriors, the Yanomam are also sophisticated traders, and the more they trade the less they fight. The reason is that trade is a powerful social adhesive that creates political alliances. One village cannot go to another village and announce that they are worried about being conquered by a third, more powerful village—that would reveal weakness. Instead they mask the real motives for alliance through trade and reciprocal feasting. And, as a result, not only gain military protection but also initiate a system of trade that—in the long run—leads to an increase in both wealth and SKUs.

F Free and fair trade occurs in societies where most individuals interact in ways that provide mutual benefit. The necessary rules weren't generated by wise men in a sacred temple, or lawmakers in congress, but rather evolved over generations and were widely accepted and practiced before the law was ever written. Laws that fail this test are ignored. If enforcement becomes too onerous, there is rebellion. Yet the concept that human interaction must, and can be controlled by a higher force is universal. Interestingly, there is no widespread agreement on who the ”higher force“ is. Religious people ascribe good behavior to god's law. They cannot conceive of an orderly society of atheists. Secular people credit the government. They consider anarchy to be synonymous with barbarity. Everyone seems to agree on the concept that orderly society requires an omnipotent force. Yet, everywhere there is evidence that this is not so. An important distinction between spontaneous social order and social anarchy is that the former is developed by work and investment, under the rule of law and with a set of evolved morals while the latter is chaos. The classical liberal tradition of von Mises and Hayek never makes the claim that the complete absence of top-down rules leads to the optimal social order. It simply says we should be skeptical about our ability to manage them in the name of social justice, equality, or progress.

篇2:雅思阅读提升技巧之快速找出定位词

雅思阅读提升技巧之快速找出定位词

1、定位词的基本特点:

不可替换性:题目中变化性最小的词性才能充当定位词,一般情况下以具象名词为主。

2、定位词的三大种类:

A 特殊词汇

其中包括:首字母大写的信息,数字,时间,与人相关的信息(身份、职业),学科等

如果此类定位词和主题相关,一般每段都重复,则无任何实际作用;如果定位词只在局部的1~2段重复,仍然要做出答案位置的标志。具有描述性的名词、抽象概念的名词,由动词或者形容词延伸出的名词往往变化性也较大,但在定位时不要舍弃。

B 限定+名词

限定和名词的组合其实相当于一个具象的“名词”,一般情况下在文章中能找到这样的类似组合或者概念的表达,因此方便定位。

但是有时候限定+名词组合在文中会出现上义到下义的改写现象,这个时候需要学生善于根据这个特点去联想定位。比如说在做段落信息配对题时候这种改写非常明显,以剑7let's go bats这篇文章的段落信息配对题为例;最后一个题目出现了一个military use 这样的限定和名词组合,再定位过程中一定要联想到在文章中一般会给出这个组合所表达概念的下义内容,此题文章对应的就是detection of submarine,world war 2这样下义表达。

C 新鲜词汇和绝对生词

这一类别定位词的判定需要大家对于文章话题和结构有一定的把握,比如说一篇文章的话题是考古,但是题目中出现了一个词叫garret阁楼,这个词相对于主题就比较新鲜,一般都能定位到。再如剑5第一篇文章summary题目最后出现了一个词king也相对主题(词典编撰)有点新鲜,因此可以定位到。对于绝对生词,因人而异,这里不建议词汇量特别小的学员将此类作为定位词,词汇量小,任何核心词汇高频词汇都有可能是生词,定位起来很麻烦。

3、错乱定位法

在雅思阅读的做题过程中会发现有时候即使定位词找对了但是在定位的过程中也可能效果不好,因为有些定位词一般都是藏在文章的某一个小角落,存在但难发现。比如说在做TRUE,FALSE,NOT GIVEN的时候如果依次做题,第一题题目找到定位词,然后带着定位词在文章中查找,有可能会扑空,如果扑空了,这个定位的过程所用的时间就浪费了,最后导致的结果是做题时间不够用。那么如何解决这一问题呢?那就是错乱定位。

错乱定位就是浏览所有题目中的定位词,然后简单的判断哪些定位词最易找到,先找出最易找的定位词做出对应的题目,然后再做其他。以剑5Johnson’s dictionary后面的summary题为例。浏览summary,划出所有定位词,garret,central desk,40000,king.然后会发现40000很好找,几乎2秒就能定位到,定位到以后很容易做出第5空,其次是King,做出第6空;再结合这种题型的特点,很快能搞定其他定位词和所有题。这样的一个过程没有一个步骤很浪费的,因此可以提高做题效率。

雅思阅读模拟题及答案详解 Sun‘s fickle heart may leave us cold

1.雅思阅读材料

Sun's fickle heart may leave us cold

From New Scientist. Stuart Clark

1 There's a dimmer switch inside the sun that causes its brightness to rise and fall on timescales of around 100,000 years - exactly the same period as between ice ages on Earth. So says a physicist who has created a computer model of our star's core.

2 Robert Ehrlich of George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, modelled the effect of temperature fluctuations in the sun's interior. According to the standard view, the temperature of the sun's core is held constant by the opposing pressures of gravity and nuclear fusion. However, Ehrlich believed that slight variations should be possible.

3 He took as his starting point the work of Attila Grandpierre of the Konkoly Observatory of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. In , Grandpierre and a collaborator, Gábor ágoston, calculated that magnetic fields in the sun's core could produce small instabilities in the solar plasma. These instabilities would induce localised oscillations in temperature.

4 Ehrlich's model shows that whilst most of these oscillations cancel each other out, some reinforce one another and become long-lived temperature variations. The favoured frequencies allow the sun's core temperature to oscillate around its average temperature of 13.6 million kelvin in cycles lasting either 100,000 or 41,000 years. Ehrlich says that random interactions within the sun's magnetic field could flip the fluctuations from one cycle length to the other.

5 These two timescales are instantly recognisable to anyone familiar with Earth's ice ages: for the past million years, ice ages have occurred roughly every 100,000 years. Before that, they occurred roughly every 41,000 years.

6 Most scientists believe that the ice ages are the result of subtle changes in Earth's orbit, known as the Milankovitch cycles. One such cycle describes the way Earth's orbit gradually changes shape from a circle to a slight ellipse and back again roughly every 100,000 years. The theory says this alters the amount of solar radiation that Earth receives, triggering the ice ages. However, a persistent problem with this theory has been its inability to explain why the ice ages changed frequency a million years ago.

7 ”In Milankovitch, there is certainly no good idea why the frequency should change from one to another,“ says Neil Edwards, a climatologist at the Open University in Milton Keynes, UK. Nor is the transition problem the only one the Milankovitch theory faces. Ehrlich and other critics claim that the temperature variations caused by Milankovitch cycles are simply not big enough to drive ice ages.

8 However, Edwards believes the small changes in solar heating produced by Milankovitch cycles are then amplified by feedback mechanisms on Earth. For example, if sea ice begins to form because of a slight cooling, carbon dioxide that would otherwise have found its way into the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle is locked into the ice. That weakens the greenhouse effect and Earth grows even colder.

9 According to Edwards, there is no lack of such mechanisms. ”If you add their effects together, there is more than enough feedback to make Milankovitch work,“ he says. ”The problem now is identifying which mechanisms are at work.“ This is why scientists like Edwards are not yet ready to give up on the current theory. ”Milankovitch cycles give us ice ages roughly when we observe them to happen. We can calculate where we are in the cycle and compare it with observation,“ he says. ”I can't see any way of testing [Ehrlich's] idea to see where we are in the temperature oscillation.“

10 Ehrlich concedes this. ”If there is a way to test this theory on the sun, I can't think of one that is practical,“ he says. That's because variation over 41,000 to 100,000 years is too gradual to be observed. However, there may be a way to test it in other stars: red dwarfs. Their cores are much smaller than that of the sun, and so Ehrlich believes that the oscillation periods could be short enough to be observed. He has yet to calculate the precise period or the extent of variation in brightness to be expected.

11 Nigel Weiss, a solar physicist at the University of Cambridge, is far from convinced. He describes Ehrlich's claims as ”utterly implausible“. Ehrlich counters that Weiss's opinion is based on the standard solar model, which fails to take into account the magnetic instabilities that cause the temperature fluctuations.(716 words)

Main article: Medieval theatre

By the medieval period, the mummers' plays had developed, a form of early street theatre associated with the Morris dance, concentrating on themes such as Saint George and the Dragon and Robin Hood. These were folk tales re-telling old stories, and the actors travelled from town to town performing these for their audiences in return for money and hospitality.

Renaissance: Elizabethan and Jacobean periods

The period known as the English Renaissance, approximately 1500—1660, saw a flowering of the drama and all the arts. The two candidates for the earliest comedy in English Nicholas Udall's Ralph Roister Doister (c. 1552) and the anonymous Gammer Gurton's Needle (c. 1566), belong to the 16th century.

During the reign of Elizabeth I (1558–1603) and then James I (1603–25), in the late 16th and early 17th century, a London-centred culture, that was both courtly and popular, produced great poetry and drama. The English playwrights were intrigued by Italian model: a conspicuous community of Italian actors had settled in London. The linguist and lexicographer John Florio (1553–1625), whose father was Italian, was a royal language tutor at the Court of James I, and a possible friend of and influence on William Shakespeare, had brought much of the Italian language and culture to England. He was also the translator of Montaigne into English. The earliest Elizabethan plays includes Gorboduc (1561) by Sackville and Norton and Thomas Kyd's (1558–94) revenge tragedy The Spanish Tragedy (1592), that influenced Shakespeare's Hamlet.

17th and 18th centuries

Aphra Behn was the first professional English woman playwright.

During the Interregnum 1649—1660, English theatres were kept closed by the Puritans for religious and ideological reasons. When the London theatres opened again with the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, they flourished under the personal interest and support of Charles II. Wide and socially mixed audiences were attracted by topical writing and by the introduction of the first professional actresses (in Shakespeare's time, all female roles had been played by boys). New genres of the Restoration were heroic drama, pathetic drama, and Restoration comedy. Notable heroic tragedies of this period include John Dryden's All for Love (1677) and Aureng-zebe (1675), and Thomas Otway's Venice Preserved (1682). The Restoration plays that have best retained the interest of producers and audiences today are the comedies, such as George Etherege's The Man of Mode (1676), William Wycherley's The Country Wife (1676), John Vanbrugh's The Relapse (1696), and William Congreve's The Way of the World (1700). This period saw the first professional woman playwright, Aphra Behn, author of many comedies including The Rover (1677). Restoration comedy is famous or notorious for its sexual explicitness, a quality encouraged by Charles II (1660–1685) personally and by the rakish aristocratic ethos of his court.

Victorian era

A change came in the Victorian era with a profusion on the London stage of farces, musical burlesques, extravaganzas and comic operas that competed with Shakespeare productions and serious drama by the likes of James Planché and Thomas William Robertson. In 1855, the German Reed Entertainments began a process of elevating the level of (formerly risqué) musical theatre in Britain that culminated in the famous series of comic operas by Gilbert and Sullivan and were followed by the 1890s with the first Edwardian musical comedies. W. S. Gilbert and Oscar Wilde were leading poets and dramatists of the late Victorian period.[16] Wilde's plays, in particular, stand apart from the many now forgotten plays of Victorian times and have a much closer relationship to those of the Edwardian dramatists such as Irishman George Bernard Shaw and Norwegian Henrik Ibsen.

篇3:雅思阅读技巧之快速阅读训练

雅思阅读解题技巧之快速阅读训练

1. 快速泛读(fast extensive reading)

平时要养成快速泛读的习惯。这里讲的泛读是指广泛阅读大量涉及不同领域的书籍,要求读得快,理解和掌握书中的主要内容就可以了。要确定一个明确的读书定额,定额要结合自己的实际,切实可行,可多可少。例如每天读20页,以18周准备考试的时间计算,就可以读21本中等厚度的书(每本书约120页)。

2. 计时阅读 (timed reading)

课余要养成计时阅读的习惯。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。阅读时先记下“起读时间”(starting time),阅读完毕,记下“止读时间”(finishing time),即可计算出本次阅读速度。随手记下,长期坚持,必定收到明显效果。

3. 略读 (skimming)

略读又称跳读(reading and skipping)或浏览(glancing),是一种专门的,非常实用的快速阅读技能。所谓略读,是指以尽可能快的速度阅读,如同从飞机上鸟瞰(bird's eye view )地面上的明显标志一样,迅速获取文章大意或中心思想。换句话说,略读是要求读者有选择地进行阅读,可跳过某些细节,以求抓住文章的大概,从而加快阅读速度。据统计,训练有素的略读者(skimmer)的阅读速度可以达到每分钟3000到4000个词。

阅读时,先把文章粗略地浏览一下,看看文章中是否有自己工作和学习需要的或自己感兴趣的资料和信息,然后确定这篇文章是否值得细读。在查找资料时,如果没有充分时间,而又不需要高度理解时,就可以运用略读技巧。“不需要高度理解”并非指略读时理解水平可以很低,而是说略低于一般阅读速度所取得的理解水平是允许的。

一般阅读的目标是在保持一般阅读速度的条件下,获得尽可能高的理解水平,通常达到70%或80%。略读时,理解水平略低一些是预料之中的事,平均理解率达50%或60%就可以了。 略读有下列四个特点:

(1)以极快的速度阅读大量材料,寻找字面上或事实上的主要信息和少量的阐述信息

(2)可以跳过某个部分或某些部分不读。

(3)理解水平可以稍低一些,但也不能太低。

(4)根据文章的难易程度和达到的目的,不断灵活地调整阅读速度。

略读可以运用下列技巧:

(1) 要利用印刷细节(typegraphical details),如书或文章的标题、副标题、小标题、斜体词、黑体词、脚注、标点符号等,对书和文章进行预测略读(preview skimming)。预测略读要了解作者的思路、文章方式(模式),以便把握大意,有关的细节及其相互关系。

(2) 以一般阅读速度(200~250wpm),阅读文章开头的一、二段,力求抓住文章大意、背景情况、作者的文章风格、口吻或语气等。

(3) 阅读段落的主题句和结论句。抓住主题句就掌握了段落大意,然后略去细节不读,以求得略读速度。

(4) 注意转折词和序列词。转折词如however, moreover, in addition等;序列词firstly, secondly等。

(5) 若无需要,不必阅读细节。

4.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。熟练的读者善于运用寻读获得具体信息,以提高阅读效率。

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,而对其它无关部分则略去不读的快速阅读方法。运用这种方法,读者就能在最短的时间内掠过尽可能多的印刷材料,找到所需要的信息。例如,在车站寻找某次列车或汽车的运行时刻,在机场寻找某次班机的飞行时刻,在图书馆查找书刊的目录,在文献中查找某一日期、名字、数字或号码等,都可以运用这种方法。作为一种快速寻找信息的阅读技巧,寻读既要求速度,又要求寻读的准确性。具体地说,寻读带有明确的目的??段整段的文字直接映入大脑,不必字字句句过目。视线在印刷材料上掠过时,一旦发现有关的内容,就要稍作停留,将它记住或摘下,既保证寻读的速度,又做到准确无误,所以寻读技巧也很有实用价值。寻读与略读不同。略读时,读者事先对材料一无所知,而寻读则是读者对材料有所了解的情况下进行的。例如,寻读电话号码簿,读者知道受话人的姓名,还知道电话号码簿是按姓的字母顺序排列的。这样,在寻找Jackson的电话时,就可以利用书页上方的标识词,再按姓的字母顺序很快翻到以J开头的书页,从而找到Jackson名下的电话页码。为了有效地进行寻读,读者应运用下列技巧。

(1) 利用材料的编排形式。资料多半是按字母顺序排列的。如词典、索引、邮政编码簿、电话号码簿以及其它参考资料簿等。当然并非所有资料都是按字母顺序排列的。例如,电视节目是按日期和时间排列的。历史资料是按年代排列的,报纸上的体育版面是按比赛类别(足球、排球、网球)排列等等。不管资料来源怎样,它都是按照某种逻辑方法排列的。例如,要知道某事是何时发生的,要查日期;某事是谁做的,要查人名等。

(2) 利用章节标题和说明。寻读之后,首先看看文章标题或章节标题,确定文章是否包含自己所需要的材料,或者哪一部分包含哪些材料,这样可以直接翻到那个部分,进行寻找。

(3) 抓提示词。读者找到包含所需信息的章节,准备寻读。这时,要留心与那个具体信息有关的提示词。例如,在报纸体育运动版上寻找某田径运动员的某项运动成绩,他的国名是提示词。在百科全书上寻找纽约市的人名,翻到New York City那一章后,population, census, inhabitants 等词就是提示词,找到提示词,就可以采用一般阅读速度,获得所需要的信息。

篇4:雅思阅读技巧之教你如何快速阅读

1、阅读的时候紧抓主题句;

2、掌握段落大意,略去细节不读,以求得略读速度。

小站点评:这种阅读方法看似很“简单粗暴”,但其中又隐含了一些对于细节的掌握。比较我在雅思阅读考试中没有很多的时间,想拿到高分,在拿到文章后,必须快速对文章有个全面又概括的了解,花一分钟左右对整篇文章进行一个整体性的把握,这时就需要运用到寻读。

寻读又被称为的“查读”,换句话说,就是在对文章有个大概的了解后,读者在文章中查找与某一问题、某一观点或某一单词有关的信息,寻找解题的可靠依据。

做雅思阅读也是一样,当我们明确了题目的要求后,就必须在有限的时间内获取文章中国的答案,首先我们会选取一到两个定位词,然后到文章中去定位,这种在1200-1800字的文章中以最快速度找到定位词的能力就是寻读所必备的能力。

从真题分析雅思阅读文章来源

分析发现,雅思阅读考试A类文章大多选自国外人文类、经济类和科学类的知名报纸、杂志或政府各部门(UK及世界各国) 的社会发展报告。如:经济学家杂志Economist,金融时报(Financial Times), 卫报(Guardian) ,美国国家地理杂志(National Geographic), New Scientist, Science, Popular Science 和 Nature等。

G类文章从5月份开始,考察的内容导向有所变化,从原来的以“培训”为导向逐步转变为以“工作”为导向。这一背景材料的转变值得引起考生的关注。以下是摘录自雅思考试官方网站的相关内容:

‘From 1 May , we are making a small but important change to the General Training Reading paper.

Currently, Section 2 of the General Training Reading paper focuses on the training context. From 1 May 2009, this section will focus on the work context (e.g. applying for jobs, company policies, pay and conditions, workplace facilities, staff development etc).

The General Training module is increasingly recognised by employers, professional bodies and immigration authorities. This change will ensure that the module will more closely meet the needs of candidates who take IELTS for employment or immigration purposes.

The other sections of the General Training Reading paper will remain unchanged.’

在了解了以上阅读考试的题源出处之后,考生平时进行泛读的时候,可以多选择上面提到的报刊杂志的内容作为材料。这样可以在帮助考生扩大相关背景知识的同时,使得考生能够了解雅思阅读文章的行文风格和常见结构。

G类的考生在平常准备考试的过程中一定要重视这个自09年5月1日起开始的 ‘small but important’的变化。重点补充一些工作类型的文章,例如申请工作、公司政策、工作环境等等。并且有条件的话,多做一些关于商务英语和职场英语方面的训练。

当然,这里老师要向考生说明的是,如一些考试文章在上述网站上搜索起来有困难,考生可以在维京百科上搜索相关的词条内容。拿澳洲考拉举个例子,这是我们雅思考试中考过的有关澳洲的较有特色的动物。很多考生对于这个名字不陌生,但是具体细节谈论起来,相关的知识就比较匮乏了。那么现在只要在搜索框内输入‘Koala’则会出现很多相关的内容,以下仅为部分摘录,

The koala is found in coastal regions of eastern and southern Australia, from near Adelaide to the southern part of Cape York Peninsula. Populations also extend for considerable distances inland in regions with enough moisture to support suitable woodlands. The koala is not found in Tasmania or Western Australia.

通过此段,考生可以大致了解考拉的分布主要在澳洲东部及南部沿海地区,从阿德莱德到约克角半岛南部。而在塔斯马尼亚及西澳地区则没有发现考拉。

A baby koala is referred to as a joey and is hairless, blind, and earless. At birth the joey, only a quarter of an inch long, crawls into the downward-facing pouch on the mother's belly (which is closed by a drawstring-like muscle that the mother can tighten at will) and attaches itself to one of the two teats.

这一段主要介绍考拉宝宝的主要情况,出生时候只有四分之一英寸长,生活在妈妈的育儿袋里。

The koala lives almost entirely on eucalypt leaves. This is likely to be an evolutionary adaptation that takes advantage of an otherwise unfilled ecological niche, since eucalypt leaves are low in protein, high in indigestible substances, and contain phenolic and terpene compounds that are toxic to most species. Like wombats and sloths, the koala has a very low metabolic rate for a mammal and rests motionless for about 16 to 18 hours a day, sleeping most of that time.

本段讲到考拉的饮食几乎完全依赖桉树叶生存,并且考拉的新陈代谢非常慢,一天可以16-18个小时不动。

建议考生在搜索的时候选用英文,在平时学习背景知识的时候,不断扩大对于相关这一主题的词汇量。这样在考试当中遇见相关背景的文章的时候不至于出现因生词过多造成理解误差的情况,同时也可以在考试当中节省阅读时间,保证阅读速度。

教你如何斩获满分雅思阅读

出国留学是需要语言成绩的,比如雅思和托福,雅思考试对于梦想出国留学的同学们来说是何等重要,尤其是申请英国等留学国家的必要条件,所以烤鸭们都必须认真应对的。下面小编为大家分享一位考了7.5分雅思的学长的备考心得,他的阅读分数取得了9分满分,下面是详细心得:

雅思考试总思路:

对于准备任何一门外语考试,均可以从两个方面入手:词汇+真题;其中词汇的主要作用是为随后的做题提供扎实的基础,而真题则是钻研考试思路的全部依据。

我在苏州6月20日这次考试中的结果显示出了词汇上准备的不足,各分项分数如下:阅读9分,听力7.5分,写作6.5分,口语6分,在写作和口语上尤其突出。

教你如何斩获满分雅思阅读

雅思考试词汇:

对于愿意在雅思考试上追求高分,或者意在通过本次考试进一步提升自己英语水平的同学,扎实地记忆雅思词汇至关重要。

我们在背诵词汇时,往往感到枯燥无聊,很快就会怀疑背单词的到底有什么意义,于是乎就半途而废(难怪很多单词书的第一个单词是abandon)。现在看来,我的教训是要懂得坚持的可贵:当你坚持背到一本书三分之一的时候,其实大部分人都已经放弃了;而一旦你将整本词汇书掌握完毕后,7.5分以上的目标绝不会显得遥不可及。推荐迈西雅思乱序版,一定要选乱序的,这样才记得牢,考试是不会按词汇顺序出题的,understand?

雅思考试真题:

真题的作用就是将雅思考试的出题思路深刻的领悟,在掌握思路的情况下,没有任何必要看所谓的机经。所以做一遍真题肯定无法达到以上目的,最多只能够知道雅思考试的题型是什么样的。真题剑三到剑八,用途如下:

剑三剑四:了解雅思题型特点,找回做英语题的感觉;具体来将就是第一遍做完所有试卷要把所有的题型熟悉,总结常错的地方,并有初步的思路如何应对它;第二遍再做的时候就是验证自己的应对思路,有不合适的地方重新改变思路,并在下一阶段再次验证和反思。

剑五剑六:剑五剑六的特点是题型更符合近年来的考试趋势,同时在难度上要比剑三剑四上一个层次;两本书的作用就在于形成自己的解题思路,这个阶段要给自己定下目标,我要在某个阶段结束前正确率达到什么水平,因而每次做完题目都要去反思,改正并在下一次做题时区参考上次犯的错误。

剑七剑八:据说是最像现在考试的试卷,用于考前两周的模拟试题;可以结合原来总结的错误类型和思路来做,注意把握时间。

雅思阅读备考经验:

将每次做完一篇文章后当时不懂的句子划出来,在结束做题后仔细分析句式结构;通过积累一段时间后基本上能够做到凌波微步,不用因为看不懂某一句话停下来回读了;

雅思听力备考经验:

1.快速预读的机制很关键,主要原则是在最短的时间内掌握最多有用的信息:

a.选择题,先掌握题干的动宾结构,随后去对比和比较各个选择支中相同和不同的成份,在听的过程中要注意把握说话者的观点;

b.填空题,把握前面和后面的动词和名词,一旦听到与之对应的同意转换,立刻将答案写上。

2.按照题目所给数字顺序做题:形成良好的做题节奏,根据节奏做完一题后一段时间没有听到下一题,将其果断放弃。

雅思写作备考经验:

1.推荐顾家北的《雅思写作思路剖析》,将写作思路看完后,在随后的每个专题动手写一篇,其余的看一看积累素材和结构;

2.养成自己惯用的写作思路和句子,便于节省时间。本人在议论文常用开篇如下:The new era has witnessed the rise of …, there is no denying towards its significance of …, while it raises much concern as…. This essay aims to give an overview of the debatable issue by throwing light on both sides and offer some responsible solutions。

3.考前注意将大作文和小作文一起写,防止花时间太多在小作文上导致随后未完成任务。我在那场考试就是小作文过于精雕细琢,导致写大作文只有三十四分钟。

雅思口语备考经验:

最大的教训是准备口语应该先准备回答问题的基本思路,而不是先准备回答问题的内容;例如:回答“How do you like transportations in your city?”,我们应该有逻辑结构的展开“To the best of my knowledge, the transportation is by no means….As can be mainly seen in the fact that…It also deserves mention that…”在掌握框架之后,再去向里面填充回答问题的具体内容。

雅思阅读中NOT GIVEN题型的八大考点盘点

1,原文及题目只提到一件事物的only题。

2,原文是别人的评论,题目就其本质进行是非对错判断。

3,原文只提到两事物,但题目对两者进行了比较。

4,原文只提到一件事物,而题目涉及到两件事物的比较关系。

5,原文提出问题并未作答,但题目进行了是非判断。

6,原文有发誓许诺等,但题目出去以上限定,成为事实判断。

7,原文是对将来状态的判断,但题目变成事实。

8,原文有时间、地点、范围等限定词,但题目故意模糊了以上限定。

篇5:雅思阅读如何快速定位答案

雅思阅读 如何快速定位答案

特殊词

从原文中找“特殊词”

什么样的词是“特殊词”呢?特殊词,顾名思义,就是样子特殊、很容易在原文中找到的词。比如:时间,地点,人名,书名,杂志名,专有名词,斜体字,引号引出的词, A-B类型的词。这些词要么是数字(阿拉伯数字或是用英语单词表述的数字,需要注意形式),要么是首字母大写的词,在原文中很容易被快速找到。

定位词

从题干中找“定位词”

然而,不是所有的题目中都包含这样的“特殊词”的,在雅思阅读中更多的题目是不包含“特殊词”的题目,这无疑增加了定位的难度。但是如果我们能通过读题迅速判断出决定题目所在的这句话不同于文中其他句子的相对独特的词,再在原文中找到这些相对独特的词,我们就可以准确的找到原文的位置了。我们来看几个例子,横线划出的是定位词:

Endangered languages cannot be saved unless people learn to speak more than one language

Savinglanguagesfrom extinction is notinitself a satisfactorygoal.

The way we think may be determined by our language.

Youngpeople often rejectthe established way of lifein their community.

A change of languagemay mean a loss of traditional culture.

题目定位

通过题目的前后顺序帮助定位

我们都知道五种小题型、判断题、选择题、总结题的顺序性都是极强的,那么在定位的时候我们可以通过前后的题目来帮助定位,就进一步加快了我们定位的速度。

雅思阅读效率需要怎样提升

虽然雅思阅读有难度,但是同学们也不能因此而对自己失去信心,雅思阅读学习需要恰当的方法,其中多多积累一些雅思阅读核心词汇很重要,下面小编就来给大家介绍一下雅思阅读在考试前要怎样备考,希望能给大家带来帮助。

其实,一个月的备考时间要想从根本上提高考生的雅思阅读能力显然不是很现实,那假如我们的备考时间只剩下了一个月,考生又该如何利用这一个月的时间呢?

1、合理安排复习时间

雅思考前一个月的复习时间基本上可以分成三个阶段,前三个星期,考前一个星期以及考前一到两天。这是一个循序渐进、查漏补缺的过程,也是一个冲刺的过程。这个月的阅读复习并不是要大量的做题,而是从另一个角度去阅读文章,去体会出题思路,然后再从词汇量上有一定的提高。小编还是要提醒大家注意总结雅思阅读核心词汇,对于雅思阅读学习很有帮助。

所以前三个星期每天只需要练习一篇文章就可以,只是练习的方式和平常要有所区别。在做这一篇文章的时候必须要规定时间,也就是二十分钟完成一篇练习,做完对完答案不可以就放一边,而要好好分析,精读一下。精读的概念就是把文章从头到尾每句话、每个词的意思都能搞清楚,尤其是和题目对应的文章部分。精读完后就要仔细看下做错的题目,总结一下是什么原因导致做错,是单词看不懂,还是句子看不懂,还是说思维方式上有点差距或者某个题型做题方法上还有待改进。这样做一篇练习然后再精读分析,一定要花一到两个小时,阅读练习的量这一天也够了。只是要每天坚持,都要花一到两个小时去看阅读,培养一种感觉,这样积累一个月会把自己的状态调整到最佳的。

考前一个星期可以找时间做一次或两次阅读模拟,也就是一个小时内完成三篇阅读文章。这种自测的作用就是能体会到考试时时间紧迫的感觉,了解到自己时间把握上的薄弱点,在最后的心态上进行调整。当然做完练习后的主动分析也是必不可少的。

考前2天基本上是属于最后冲刺阶段,但是对于阅读来说,平时的功夫更重要,考前1-2天再多做题也不会在阅读能力上有所提高。所以建议大家考前1-2 天可以把以前做过的题目拿出来看,尤其是做错的题目,然后把一些常见的词汇整理一下,把前3个星期自己分析过的内容再看一下。如果上过培训班的同学可以把老师讲过的内容尤其是做题方法再温习一下,然后保持一种稳定的心态去面对考试。

2、找好复习材料

市面上的雅思考试复习材料层出不穷,但是对于阅读准备来说最好的材料还是剑桥系列。在考前练习的材料选择还是以剑四到剑六为主。在前三个星期的“每天一练”就可以选择剑桥系列的文章。剑四到剑六一共有12套题目36篇文章,肯定是够用的。有些同学也许之前已经做过,但是隔了一段时间去做剑桥系列的阅读还是不一定能做好,所以不用担心以前已经做过的问题。同时除了A类的阅读文章之外,G类的section3那篇文章的长度和题型和A类是差不多的,也可以拿G类section3这篇文章进行练习。

如何提高雅思阅读效率

1. 概括地观察(Survey)

首先略读每章或每页的大概内容,例如:可从书本的序言和目录开始,通常作者会在序言中交代叙述的重点及动机,而目录则可帮助你了解课本的组织架构及章节层次;阅读课文的名称 title,主题 main headings 及副题 sub-headings;注意每一主题的头一句,导言 introduction 和本章提要 summary(如果有的话),图片说明 captions to all graphics 等,这样,你不用十五分钟便对内容有概略的了解。

2. 提出一个全面的问题(Write a general question)

观察课文内容后,提出一个包含所有阅读资料的问题,把问题写在每章节的开首,令自己可以看到此问题时,便忆起全部内容。

3. 提出各别问题来引导阅读(Write questions to guide your reading)

当你看到主题、副题、图片及首句时,由此而提出有关问题,写在题目或图片旁边,帮助你阅读文章内容。

4.寻求问题的答案(Read to answer the questions)

阅读章节时,尽量跟随你的问题来找答案,把握课文重点。

5.在答案下划线(Underline words that answer the question)

在了解一段内容后,找出解答问题的重要字key words及短语phrases,并划记下来。在划记时可选用其他颜色的笔,既方便又快捷。

6. 修正问题(Revise the questions)

如果在阅读时,发现问题并未得到解答或不明确,可重新写下问题,并将有关答案的字词划记。再重读文章,遇到不明白的地方,再请教导师或同学。

7. 举一反三(Use examples)

当你理解全文时,便可将知识整理起来,同时,学习类推的方法,将知识应用于其他类似事情或日常生活上,利用连带关系,才能把文章内容融会贯通,大大提高你的阅读兴趣和能力。例如:当银行利率提高时,会使银行的存款利息增加,而你可能会联想到投资受影响,或是你会类推更多其他事项。

的如果学有余力的同学可以去看下国外的网站或者材料,例如BBC的中文网站等。但基本上是以剑桥系列的为主,因为更具有针对性,而且对雅思考试的出题思路能有个更好的理解。

3、机经的使用

有很多同学会问阅读机经在准备考试的时候有没有用,从实际意义上来说,雅思阅读机经的作用并不是很大。因为阅读只能回忆出大致内容和题型,具体的文章和题目是很难回忆出来的。所以建议考生可以利用机经看看最近常考的题型是什么,题材是什么,然后去网上看看相关题材的内容,但是背机经就一点用处都没有了。所以最后一个月的复习重点我们还是放在文章分析和题目总结上,不要盲目去看所谓的机经。

雅思阅读的做题顺序解析

虽然雅思阅读在整个考试中有一定的难度,但是大家也不能因此而失去信心,可以参加一些雅思阅读培训,了解一下都有哪些雅思阅读题型,下面小编就来给大家介绍一下雅思阅读的做题顺序是什么,希望能给大家带来帮助。

雅思阅读词汇量大,长难句多,时间有限,为很多同学所惧怕。其实阅读是最简单的,只需要花时间把答案找到。如何在有限的时间内,获得更多的分数?

具体方法如下:

一、首先决定要以什么样的顺序做题。真正的雅思考试并不是想象中的由易到难,很有可能一开始的文章就很难。设想,如果用30分钟先解决一道难题,再用剩下的30分钟去完成两道简单的题目,效果注定不好!试举剑桥4中TEST 2 为例,三篇文章分别“lost for words”, “alternative medicine in Australia”, “play is a serious business”.乍一看第三篇文章题目是最简单的,实际上它反而是最难的。

二、题型决定做题顺序,而不是题目。“lost for words”题型分别是:summary, 人名理论matching, yes/no/not given. “alternative medicine in Australia”题型分别是:multiple choices, yes/no/not given, 填空题. “play is a serious business”题型分别是:信息段落配对,多选多,人名理论配对。初步分析题型后还可以细化,理清做题思路。第一篇文章难度适中,summary 属主旨类型题建议先做,同时可以把人名全部找到以节省时间。matching题中出现五对五配对还有NB。第二篇文章题目虽难但是引言部分交待很清楚,属简单的题目。填空题实属数字游戏,整篇文章完全按顺序出题。第三篇文章难度系数较大,信息段落配对难把握,之后的人名理论配对干扰选项过多,从一开始相当于八选一。这样分析下来,我们的做题顺序应该是“Passage 2/1/3”。小编还是要提醒大家注意总结雅思阅读题型,参加一些必要的雅思阅读培训,已达到快速提高阅读成绩。

三、掌握技巧,灵活运用。题型没有绝对的难易之分,对其他考生难也许对你反而容易,要结合自己的实际情况。可以先做送分题“表格填空,图形题,完成句子”。在五大主流题型中,配对题比较费时,其中信息和段落配对最花时间,建议放在最后。而作为主旨的heading 和summary 可考虑先做,因为完成主旨题型后文章大致的内容和结构都可以掌握,对于细节题的定位会方便很多。

雅思考试像是一场战斗,应该灵活运用作战的策略和方法,后期更需要成套的阅读训练。如果能够运用这些提高效率节省时间的方法,有助于学生信心的塑造和雅思分数的提高。

雅思阅读文章结构特点分析

大多数雅思真题文章的结构是人们常说的“到金字塔”形式。这是指在一篇文章中,最重要的信息都放在开头部分,尤其是开头的前三段。也就是说,一篇文章的主题(主题句)都出现在前三段。一般我们把这样的段落称为导语段。文章一般把新闻所涉及的人物、时间、地点、过程和结果都交待出来。读者读完了导语段,也就知道了新闻的关键信息。

接下来就是逐步向读者交待事件发生的起因、过程、影响等信息。这是文章的主要部分,但是各种信息并不是平铺直叙的,而是按照它们的重要性先后出现的。与事件直接相关的信息被认为是最重要的,因此位置靠前,然后才是次要的信息。

在这一部分,文章还可以交待消息的来源,并且时常引用记者在采访中得到的有关人士的话,以证明消息的可靠。新闻还可以补充说明一些背景材料,有时不惜重复一些内容。

文章的结构有时显得松散,段落之间的逻辑关系不紧密,这是因为需要交待的信息没有一定的关联模式,只是发生的一些实事的铺陈。

新闻一般不要求结尾,尤其是总结性的结尾段。在交待完事件的全过程后,作者通常加上一两段与该消息有点关系、但是不是很重要的信息,作为新闻的结尾。

请大家参考下面的例文,体会上述结构特点。

Student Face Bleak Job Market in Japan

(introduction &main idea)

TOKYO—More than 12,000 college students in Japan, who graduate next spring, packed into the giant Tokyo Dome sports stadium Monday with the anxious hope of landing jobs.

(more facts)

Hundreds lined up before dawn, some having traveled from distant cities for a huge job-counseling program organized by the ministry of Labor.

(background)

September brings the formal start of Japan's annual job-recruitment season. But after nearly five years of recession and “job shock”, those entering the work force face the most forbidding season in years, and many have settled for jobs they would have once dismissed.

(quotes)

“I am looking for a job as receptionist, a sales clerk—it doesn't matter,” said Takako Nakahara, who flew more than 500 miles from her two years college in southern Japan for Monday's program.

(more detail)

High school and college graduates—especially women—have borne the brunt of Japan's economic pain. Thanks in large part to the lifetime employment practices of most Japanese companies, the nation's official unemployment rate is only 3.2 percent—a level Americans would consider a victory over joblessness.

篇6:雅思快速阅读方法技巧

雅思阅读方法很多,但是快速阅读就涉及到了略读或浏览,意味着考生要有选择地进行阅读,可跳过某些细节,以求抓住文章的大概,从而加快阅读速度。那么这种雅思阅读方法该如何练习呢?

A. 雅思阅读方法的练习一定要抓住文章中的主要内容,所以要利用印刷细节(typographical details),如文章的标题、副标题、小标题、斜体词、黑体词、脚注、标点符号等,对文章进行预测略读(preview skimming)。预测略读要了解作者的思路、文章方式(模式),以便把握大意,有关的细节及其相互关系。

B. 以一般阅读速度(200~250wpm)阅读文章开头的一、二段,力求抓住文章大意,背景情况,作者的文章风格,口吻或语气等。

C. 阅读段落的主题句和结论句。抓住主题句就掌握了段落大意,然后略去细节不读,以求得略读速度。

D. 注意转折词和序列词。转折词如however,moreover,in addition等;序列词如firstly,secondly等。

以上四点就是关于雅思快速阅读方法的详细信息,包括了大家在练习这个阅读方法的过程中需要关注的和可以忽略的细节都进行了解析。大家可以在备考的时候,进行适当的参考。

篇7:雅思快速阅读方法技巧

紧抓段落的主题句

抓住主题句就等于掌握了段落大意,略去细节不读,以求得略读速度。

这种看似很粗的阅读过程中,又隐含了对某些细节的掌握,比如主题句,比如一个句子里的关键词,因此,我们把这叫做粗中有细做略读。

略读在雅思阅读考试中的运用非常广泛,当学生拿到一篇文章时,他如果想要拿高分,首先要对文章进行一个全面的概括性的了解,那么他就需要花一分 钟左右对整篇文章进行一个整体性的把握,这时就需要运用到略读;在做list of headings,段落加信息的匹配题,都可能运用到略读,尤其是段落加信息的匹配题需要我们快速浏览一个段落,发现与题目相匹配的有用信息,没有这种快速阅读的能力,势必会浪费大量的时间,而且正确率还得不到保证。

披沙拣金做寻读

寻读又称查读,也就是说,在对文章有所了解(即略读)后,读者在文章中查找与某一问题、某一观点或某一单词有关的信息,寻找解题的可靠依据。寻读时,要以很快的速度扫视文章,确定所查询的信息范围。

在雅思阅读考试中,当我们明确了题目信息,需要从文章里获取答案时,我们往往会选取一个两个定位词,到文章中进行定位,而这种在1200-1800字的文章中以最快速度找到定位词的能力就是寻读所必备的能力。

作为一种快速寻找信息的阅读技巧,寻读既要求速度,又要求寻读的准确性。寻读时,我们的视线在文章中扫描的速度极快,大部分的信息都是一带而过,只有当我们所需信息出现时,从大量的沙子中以最优的效率挑选出里面的金子出来,这就是寻读能力。

在雅思阅读中,学员要学会利用文章的组织结构,以及题型与题型之间的联系,甚至是段落号等来提高寻读效率。文章的组织都是有一定的规律的,如果 拿到文章时就先做好了略读,了解了文章的架构以及信息组织顺序,那么在寻读时,我们的大定位就会非常省时,而且每一个大题与前一个大题之间的答案出现是有一定的关联的,这样我们在通过寻读定位时,还可以利用前一道大题以及本题内部联系进行。

另外我们也要充分利用提示词,比如当我们寻找某个球队的背景时,我们可以把这两个球队的名字作为提示词,因为它们更为明显,更容易定位,他们附近去寻找相关信息会更为节约时间。同样的道理,在雅思阅读里,经常也会有相似的提示词出现,参考提示词,有效的帮助我们拨开迷雾,看清真相。

按照意群浏览,而不是一个单词接一个单词地看,以减少眼球的移动。我们来看下面四个句子:

World/science/is/dominated/today/by/a/small/number/of/languages。

World science/is dominated today/by a small number of/languages。

World science is dominated today/by a small number of languages。

World science is dominated today by a small number of languages。

第一句是一个单词一个单词的读,最后一句一气呵成,不难看出,什么样的读法更能体现速度,而且事实上,一个句子里,像副词、介词、冠词等成分其实是大可不必看的,如果我们只抓主谓宾等成分,阅读效率就能大大得到提高。

篇8:雅思快速阅读方法技巧

1; 第一步: 宏观阅读: 明确: 文章的主题 环保问题

文章的主态度 态度与一般的文章不同,一般的文章通常会强调环境恶化的后果,号召大家采取行动。 本篇文章从第二段就开始转折, 举很多例子来说明环境问题并非我们想象中的那么糟糕。

全文的行文结构 新老观点对比型。 旧观点, 新观点,旧观点形成之原因

用中文总结段落大意, 标注在文章旁边。 这样做可以节省很多时间。 在后面看到相关题目可迅速定位。

环境没有恶化的四个事实陈述

1) 能源 2)粮食 3) 物种 4)污染

观点和现实相左的四个原因

1)研究偏好 2)筹集资金 3) 媒体偏好 4)个人认知

2 第二步: 题目定位, 微观阅读

题目基本是按照文章段落进行顺序出的。

所以本文可以边读题边看文章

27 通过刚才我们的分析, 因为种.种原因,环境学家的确对对世界环境持悲观的态度。 pessimistic. optimistic.

28 迅速在文章定位1972, 因为题目提到这个具体的年份, 文章中绝对会有涉及。文章中提到1972年有一本书叫做增长的极限。 但是并没有提出关于收集自然资源数据。 因此此题不确定

29 讲到饥饿的问题, 我们就马上想到刚才总结到的第二段第2个事实:粮食,立刻定位, 文章中说 fewer people are starving. 因此29明显错误

30。 讲物种问题, 立刻定位到第二段 物种, 文章中并没有提到新物种, 没有提到的一律不能判断正误,因此

31。 将污染, 立刻定位到污染, 本句是一个复杂的长句,但我们并不需要读完它, 文章中的事实很明确, 污染和早期工业化相关,马上就可以判断出题目是正确的。然后后面都是在扩展如何解决, 这些我们都不需要读,在有的题目中读了是浪费时间。

32。 根据常识许多人都可判断出这个题目是错误的,但做阅读我们不能靠先入为主的观点,以免落入出题人的陷阱, 所以我们还是在文章中定位,还是讲污染的那段, 作者说 best cured not by restricting growth, 这个主语是什么呢? 就是pollution,污染。 因此这道题目的确是正确的。

其实通过判断题,大家对文章前两段有了大概的认识, 这对我们做题基本够用了

下面看选择题。

本文中选择题的定位很简单,题目大体都是一段出一题。

33。 研究的偏好---也就是研究选择对象,选择范围的问题。

34。 因为关键句已经找出, 文章其后都是支持关键句的, 第二个原因讲筹资的问题,我们细看本段,为了要筹集到资金,they sometimes overstate their arguments.什么是overstate呢? state有陈述的意思, over这个前缀有过分,过头的意思,因此这个词我们如果不认识也可以猜得出有夸大的意思。 那么我们很容易看出下面举的World Wide Fund 这个例子就是为了说明环保组织这个倾向。

35。 第35题比较有难度, 需要花多点的时间看懂第6段的意思。我们用排除法, 文章没有讲到的一律不选。 active, 没有讲到。 organized 也没有涉及, 那么讲到critcism 没有? 我们注意到文章中有一个词scepticism,这个词比critcism 更专业点,是怀疑论调,怀疑主义的意思, 再看文中提到lobby groups人们会applied scepticism.

36 题目中谈到newspaper,我们快速定位,文章提到newspaper and ..are there to provide what the reader wants,那么很容易选出选项B, B 是文章句子的同义改写。

37。

38 做填空题,我们可以通过语法,句意,搭配来排除多余的选项。

例如38题: 通过句意我们很容易得出两个备选单词,但根据语法我们必须排除urgent.

39题:

根据句意,我们判断出这里要填的是一个褒义的词汇, 这样备选答案有right和agreed两个, 把两个分别代进句子里看,发现right更好。

40。 根据文章的意思, 选 urgent.

雅思快速阅读方法技巧大全

篇9:雅思快速阅读方法技巧

快速阅读就是利用视觉运动的规律,通过一定的方法训练,在较短的时间里阅读大量资料的一种科学的学习方法.。

我们在阅读的时候,必须通过直觉,联想,相象,逻辑分析和综合判断等一系列思维活动,才能把顺次进入视觉的一连串文字信号转换成概念和思想,完成阅读过程,必须进行科学阅读,进行科学阅读应具备以下几个条件:

自信心:一个人要想在快速阅读上获得成功,首先要有自信心,在快速阅读时,自信心是很重要的,只要我们坚信我们能成功,通过长期苦练就会实现的.

集中注意力:快速阅读的同时还要求快速记忆,这就要求在阅读时,不仅要阅读,而且要记,要理解,这是一个高难度的思维活动,没有集中的注意力是很难保证“速读”的完成.

推断法:实行快速阅读的人往往根据几个单词推断出一个句子,由句子推知整个段落的意思,这就需要多读书, 知识积累越多,知识面越宽,理解力越强,快速阅读中的推断能力才能越高.正是由于这种推断,眼睛才能停顿到最有信息含义的地方上.抓住关键词句:为了提高阅读速度首先应抓住关键词句,主题句是文章中用来概括大意的句子,主题句往往是每个段落的第一个句子,有时可能是最后一个句子,在特殊情况下可能出现在段落当中,通过识别主题句,可以快速、准确地抓住文章中各个段落的主要意思,如果能把每一段落的大意抓住了,那么全篇文章的中心思想也就把握住了。

篇10:雅思阅读定位技巧实践方法

众所周知,雅思考试与其他英文考试不同。其不同之处不仅仅在于听说读写全面考察的考试模式,多种多样的试题类型,更在于出题者的出题思路和考察目的跟广大烤鸭们早已习惯的中式英文考试截然不同。正是这些不同,导致了很多中国烤鸭屡屡败走麦城。因为在接受了多年的有中国特色的英文教育和考试后,我们大多习惯了“无孔不入”型试题。出题者们绞尽脑汁,竭尽全力挖掘各个犄角旮旯的小细节,不“烤糊”一片誓不罢休;考生们积极捧场,本着“宁可错杀一千,不能放过一个”的指导方针,决不放过任何细节。(这种情况在阅读部分尤其突出)在这种考试思想的指导下,中国学生都有一种通病,就是及其注重所看到细节,越是看上去没什么大用的信息,越感兴趣。用这种阅读习惯来做雅思阅读,是中国烤鸭的致命伤。

篇11:雅思阅读定位技巧实践方法

大家都知道,雅思阅读基本技巧就是抓住关键词回文章去定位。

基本程序就是:

1. 在题干中挑出关键词

2. 考虑文中可能出现的同义词或者近义词 (paraphrase)

3. 快速回文章找到相关段落,精读key word附近的一句或几句话

4. 根据文意做题目

以中国学生中学所接受的高强度的语法及词汇教育来说,step2 的paraphrase过程实在是a piece of cake。 关键在于key word。到底什么词才是key word。 很多习惯考大学英语四六级的人,会发现自己总是不自觉的就把目光投向一些小词,如形容词或频率副词上面。

建议大家在着手准备雅思阅读的时候,先练习一下如何审题。因为分析题干是做雅思阅读非常重要的第一步。带着问题,有的放矢的去看文章才是最经济实惠的方法。用铅笔划出关键词。关键词绝大多数应该是实义的名词,数词,专有名词,学术名词等不太容易被替换的词汇。而我们往往会发现,很多小词上都被我们划了着重号。

埋头做题,一心一意做题之前,先调整自己的思维习惯,去适应雅思出题的思路,把自己的思路调整到雅思的频道上来,是阅读部分取得满意成绩的第一步。

篇12:雅思阅读定位技巧实践方法

一般,想要轻松掌握定位,可以看看下面几点。

雅思阅读定位技巧1,从原文中找“特殊词”

你肯定会问什么样的词是“特殊词”呢?特殊词,我们顾名思义,就是那种样子比较特殊、并且还是很容易在原文中找到的词。比如:一些像时间,地点,人名,书名,杂志名,专有名词,斜体字,以及引号引出的词,还有A-B类型的词。我们看出来了这些词要么是数字(阿拉伯数字或是用英语单词表述的数字,需要注意形式),要么是一些首字母需要大写的词,在原文中的话其实是很容易被快速找到的。

雅思阅读定位技巧2,从题干中找“定位词”

然而,不是在所有的题目中都能够找到包含这样的“特殊词”的,其实在雅思阅读中更多的题目甚至是不包含“特殊词”的题目,这就无疑为你们增加了定位的难度。但是如果我们能够通过一个读题的方法迅速判断出决定题目所在的这句话不同于文中其他句子的相对特的词,再在原文中把这些相对来说特的词找出来的话,那么我们就可以准确的找到原文的位置了。

雅思阅读定位技巧3,通过题目的前后顺序帮助定位

我们都知道阅读里面有五种小题型、判断题、选择题、以及总结题的顺序性都是非常强的,那么你们在定位的时候可以通过一个前后的题目来帮助定位,这样的话就会进一步加快了我们定位的速度。

建议同学们在复习时应该要抛开以前的英文想法,一切还是要按照雅思的规律来,主要的是回归到语言的本身。当同学们都已经习惯了用正确的方法做题之后,那么雅思阅读题目在大家的感官里一定会变得越来越容易!

以上就是雅思阅读定位技巧的基本做法和实践方法的全部内容,要学会快速定位,就要掌握同义词近义词替换,句型的替换等作为基础的能力。否则,即使我们看懂了上文的内容,在做题时也不会那么顺畅。雅思阅读定位技巧几乎涉及了大部分的雅思阅读常见题型,所以掌握这个技巧和实施方法是非常有必要的。

雅思阅读材料:如何经营持久的爱情

If you’re in a long term relationship or marriage, you know that it’s not always easy to keep that warm glow of freshness and excitement alive in your relationship.

假如你有固定伴侣,或早已迈入婚姻殿堂,你便能体会到:在感情中,若想保持起初的新鲜和刺激感,可不是一件容易的事。

After the first bout of heady romantic love is gone, everyday sameness settles into any relationship.

当最初那阵令人迷醉又转瞬即逝的浪漫散去,你们的小日子里便渐渐开始被日复一日的枯燥所占据了。

And unless you’re making conscious efforts to keep things hot, soon boredom and tedium takes the shine off one of the most special relationships of your life, making it feel like just another chore. So what are these conscious efforts that you can make?

除非刻意保持新鲜感,否则这段生命中最特别的关系将会被无聊和单调抹去它原有的光辉,使你厌倦不堪。那么,该如何来有意识地避免这种事发生?

Here are some of the tricks my husband and I frequently use to keep things as new and happening as our first few days.

我和我的丈夫是通过以下的几个小技巧,来保持两人间的新鲜感的。

1. Surprise Surprise!

惊喜!惊喜!

Couples spend weeks – sometimes months – planning for the next birthday/anniversary gift for their spouse/significant other.

通常,俩口子会一起计划下一个生日/纪念日怎么过,以及送给对方什么礼物。这事儿可能要花上几星期、甚至几个月来完成。

Have you ever thought how you can magically sweep your partner off their feet with a fraction of that effort on an ordinary day?

不过,你有没有想过在一个平凡的日子里,突然给对方一个大惊喜呢?

Nothing works like giving tiny, simple – and most importantly, unexpected – surprises to each other in keeping the air of freshness and novelty in your relationship.

若想帮助情感保鲜,没什么比送给对方一个出其不意又意义重大的小礼物更好的办法了。

2. Romantic texts

发浪漫短信

A great thing about those “I miss you kitten” texts you used to send each other in the initial days of your relationship is the juvenile excitement in them.

我们在恋爱初期,之所以钟情于互发“想你啦,宝贝”之类的短信,是因为它能带给我们一种青涩的甜蜜。

You need that back right now. OK, it may not be 10 times a day like back then – but can you text him/her randomly, suddenly and romantically on some random ordinary day?

现在的你们也需要它。没必要像以前那样,一发就十几条,但你也可以在平日里偶尔“肉麻”一下嘛。

The smile it brings on their lips will spread its glow for quite some time in your relationship – until the next time you do the same, that is.

当你的爱人看到短信,他们不自觉的微笑将蔓延开来,为你们的感情增添一道明亮色彩。如此反复,爱将日益坚固。

雅思阅读材料:西红柿应该买什么样的?

An international standard for tomatoes has been adopted, ending about seven years of intense debates between countries on what qualifies as a proper tomato.

According to the new standard, tomatoes may come in one of four varieties: round, ribbed, oblong or elongated, or cherry tomatoes and cocktail tomatoes.

They must be whole, clean, free from foreign smell, free of pests and fresh in appearance.

“In the case of trusses of tomatoes, the stalks must be fresh, healthy, clean and free of all leaves and other visible foreign matter,” according to the so-called Codex standard.

A commission called Codex Alimentarius was (R)created in 1963 by the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) and the World Health Organisation to come up with food standards and guidelines on food products.

There are international standards for all kinds of food produce ranging from edam cheese to bananas to fish fillets.

They facilitate trade, as they provide a common interpretation of what constitutes a sound product to importing and exporting countries.

Tom Heilandt, who is a senior food standards adviser at the FAO explained that one such international standard was needed for tomatoes, in order to protect importing countries.

“Many developing countries in particular said that they needed this standard so that they ensure that they would get the right quality of products that they ordered,” he said.

篇13:雅思快速定位雅思阅读主题句方法

快速定位雅思阅读主题句方法

首先,在雅思阅读中,我们常见的主题句一般都会出现在一段话的开头。通常,雅思A类阅读考试中的文章都是属于学术类的,按照西方传统的学术文章书写习惯,都喜欢把自己的观点放在段落的第一句话,然后接下来解释和说明。因此,常常第一句话就是这段内容的主旨,也就是我们常见的主题句,可以看到下面的例子。

As a child grows up, he learns how to behave in ways that is appropriate to the society into which he is born. That is to say, he acquires the patterns of behavior that are accepted as normal in his society. This process of social learning is generally referred to as socialization. By socialization, then, we mean the process whereby individuals learn the rules, values and practices of the society in which they live.

从上面例子我们可以发现,很明显主题句就在第一段,判断的理由就是“That is to say”.意思就是对上一句话的解释,然后接下来的几句话很明显看得出来是递进的解释关系。所以当考生面对这种段落,可以优先看完第一段。

其次,在定位雅思阅读段落主题方法中,第二句也会成为主题句。但是这种情况要看看第一句话是什么样的形式。当第一句话是问句,过渡句,或者转折句的时候,很多时候第二句就是主题句。其实这个也类似于句子在首段这个方法。因为像问句,过渡句,转折句等作用就是进一步强调下一句作者的观点,类似于语文写作中的先抑后扬的手法。因此,这时候第二句就成为了主题句。我们可以通过下面的例子说明一下:

What then makes people left-handed if it is not simply genetic? Other factors must be at work and researchers have turned to the brain for clues. In the 1860s the French surgeon and anthropologist, Dr Paul Broca, made the remarkable finding that patients who had lost their powers of speech as a result of a stroke (a blood clot in the brain) had paralysis of the right half of their body.

我们先看看第一句的意思,大概讲的就是除了基因让人使用左手,还有什么因素导致?从翻译可以显然得知不是主题句。再从第二句的意思可以得知大脑也对使用左手也产生了作用。因此考生可以很明显的发现,问句后面的第二句就是主题句。就是作者在这段想解释还有什么因素导致人使用左手。

最后,雅思阅读主题句的位置会出现在结尾。这个相比上述的两个方法,会更难一些。因为需要读完一整段才能知道主题句在哪儿,这时候考生会很容易找错主题句,误解段落的中心思想。这时候考生需要找到一些归纳总结的词汇,进行快速定位。例如:Consequently / Accordingly / As a result等。或者会出现一些归纳性质的词组和短句,例如:the study / the investigation / the analysis / the evidences show。

这些词组的意思的总体表达的就是对上文进行总结和观点说明。这时候考生可以很容易发现主题句的位置。我们可以看看下面的例子:

The only species which demonstrated near normal productivity was Cassin’s Auklet, in which the value for 1998 exceeded the long-term mean by 16 percent. However, given that very few Cassin’s Auklets attempted to breed, island-wide offspring production was extremely low. In short, these observations were quite similar, with slight variations, to observations made on the Farallon seabird community in other severe E1 Nino years.

上述的例子很容易让考生产生误会,因为看到“demonstrated(证明)”就认为这句话是作者观点的表明。然而考生很容易忽视前面由which引导的定语从句,是单纯修饰前面的单词,并不是作者观点的表达。这时候我们在接下来看句子,会发现“In short, these observations were”这个词组。很显然这个的意思等于“all in all”,就是我们常说的归纳性质的词组。因此可以发现后面一段话才是整个段落的主题句。

As you get older, it feels like time tends to move faster. As Dan Ariely explains over at The Wall Street Journal, we tend to fall into familiar routines as we age and that makes time move quickly.

虽然你年纪越来越大,时间似乎也越走越快。就像作者丹·艾瑞里在《华尔街日报》撰文解释的一样:我们的岁数越是增长,生活就越倾向于变得一成不变。所以,时间过得更快了。

We perceive time something like a stack of memories, so the less new experiences you have, the less likely you are to fill in those memories with interesting things.

我们感知中的时间就像是回忆的堆叠。所以新鲜的经历越少,你就越不可能在那些回忆中填满有趣的事情。

Time does go by (or, more accurately, it feels as if time is going by) more quickly the older we get.

我们越长大,时间确实会过得越快(或者更准确地说,我们确实会感觉时间过得越快)。

In the first few years of our lives, anything we sense or do is brand new, and many of our experiences are unique, so they remain firmly in our memories. But as the years go by, we encounter fewer and fewer new experiences—both because we have already accomplished a lot and because we become slaves to our daily routines.

在我们人生的最初几年里,我们感觉到的一切,所做的一切都是全新的。而且,我们的许多经历都很独特,独特到足以牢牢留在我们的记忆中。但是随着时间的流逝,我们能遇到的全新经历越来越少了。这是由于我们不仅已经完成了许多事情,而且已经习惯于像奴隶般遵守自己的生活习惯。

For example, try to remember what happened to you every day last week,chances are that nothing extraordinary happened, so you will be hard-pressed to recall the specific things you did on Monday, Tuesday, etc.

举例来说,请你努力回想一下上周每天你都做了些什么事情。什么特别的事情也没有发生的概率很大,所以你会觉得回忆自己在周一、周二等日子里具体做了哪些事情非常困难。

What can we do about this? Maybe we need some new app that will encourage us to try out new experiences, point out things we've never done, recommend dishes we've never tasted and suggest places we've never been. Such an app could make our lives more varied, prod us to try new things, slow down the passage of time and increase our happiness.

对此,我们该怎么办呢?或许我们需要一些新的应用来鼓励我们尝试新经历、指出我们还没做过的事情、给我们推荐没有尝试过的菜和没有去过的地方。这样的应用可以让我们的生活更加丰富,刺激我们去尝试新鲜的事物,让时光放慢脚步并且让我们更加快乐。

Until such an app arrives, try to do at least one new thing every week.It's not too difficult to push yourself to do new things.

在这种应用被发明出来以前,每周至少尝试一件新的事物吧。逼自己去尝试新事物并不是一件非常困难的事情!

雅思阅读材料:阿里巴巴宣布启动在美IPO

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, China's largest e-commerce vendor, has officially confirmed it will hold an initial public offering in the United States, the company has announced.

The decision will “make [Alibaba] a more global company and enhance the company’s transparency, as well as allow the company to continue to pursue our long-term vision and ideals,” according to a company statement sent on Sunday to China Daily.

It did not specify which bourse it will choose to float its shares, or give a detailed timetable.

Alibaba said that, should circumstances permit in the future, it will work towards toward extending its public status in China’s capital market in order to share its growth with the Chinese people.

The company also expressed gratitude towards those in Hong Kong who have supported Alibaba Group, including the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which shut the door on a potential listing last September.

“We respect the viewpoints and policies of Hong Kong and will continue to pay close attention to and support the process of innovation and development of Hong Kong,” the statement added.

Hong Kong regulators rejected Alibaba's IPO because of the firm's special request to keep a shareholder structure which would have allowed a group of top managers and founders to nominate and control the company's board of directors.

The unique requirement went against the exchange's one-share-one-vote principle.

The statement puts an end to rampant rumors about Alibaba’s choice of listing venue.

For example, the firm's recent purchase of a stake in a Hong Kong-listed company prompted speculation that Alibaba might use the deal to go public.

Analysts polled by Reuters have put Alibaba's market value at around $140 billion and the value of the IPO at $15 billion. If successful, it will go public in the world's biggest listing since Facebook Inc's debut in 2012.

The announcement came just two days after micro-blogging service Sina Weibo filed to raise $500 million via a US IPO. Alibaba holds 18 percent of Sina Weibo's shares.

阿里巴巴集团16日宣布,启动在美国的上市事宜。

阿里巴巴集团表示,启动在美IPO为使公司更加透明、国际化,进一步实现阿里巴巴的长期愿景和理想。

作为中国的电子商务集团,自旗下子公司于2012年私有化以来,阿里巴巴集团谋求整体IPO的举动一直备受关注。

此前有机构预计,阿里巴巴上市有可能成为美国近年来规模的IPO,估值在千亿美元左右。

去年10月,阿里巴巴集团曾公开回应关于其IPO的热议,集团CEO陆兆禧当时宣布,阿里巴巴决定不选择在香港上市。

以下为阿里巴巴公告全文:

阿里巴巴今天决定启动在美国的上市事宜,以使公司更加透明、国际化,进一步实现阿里巴巴的长期愿景和理想。未来条件允许,我们将积极参与回归国内资本市场,与国内投资者共同分享公司的成长。

感谢香港各界人士对阿里巴巴的关心和支持。我们尊重香港现时的相关政策和出发点,并将会一如既往地关注、参与并支持香港的创新和发展。
