雅思考試三種類別 該如何選?
我們先給大家梳理一下雅思考試的3種類型，分別是：
1. IELTS
也就是我們平時所說的普通雅思，分為A類和G類。A類是學術雅思，大多數(shù)去英國讀本科、碩士的同學接觸特別多的就是這類雅思考試。
G類是培訓類雅思，考這種雅思的人一般是去英國參加工作，或者是去接受培訓及非文憑類課程的移民。
2. IELTS for UKVI
英國移民及簽證的雅思考試，從2015年4月開始，英國簽證與移民局(UK Visas and Immigration ,UKVI)實施簽證類安全英語語言考試新政。
用于英國簽證及移民的雅思考試是英國簽證和移民局對特定類型的英國簽證申請所開設的考試。 IELTS for UKVI考試內(nèi)容和普通雅思是一樣的，就是價格貴一點兒。
3. IELTS(Life Skills)
第3種雅思考試是雅思生活技能類考試。這個主要是給為了移民到英國的技術人員，或者去英國投資的土豪們設置的，考試形式很簡單，只考查口語及聽力水平。
總的來說，英國簽證及移民的雅思考試(UKVI)和普通的雅思相比，其考試內(nèi)容, 形式, 難度等級, 考官及評分標準等均與普通雅思考試相同。不同的地方除了考試成績單的長相以外，還有的就是考試前更加繁瑣的流程。
如果不知道自己是選擇普通雅思，還是UKVI，請往下看：
(1)學生如果是達到無條件錄取的語言要求，去英國直接就讀本科，碩士，博士學位課程，就讀的英國院校具有“高度可信擔保方”身份，只需提交校方所要求的英語語言水平證明，包括雅思成績等。
如果是雅思成績，在中國的雅思考點都是認可的，選擇普通的“雅思考試(IELTS)學術類”。
(2)學生如果是去英國就讀非學位課程，如：搭配的語言課程，本科預科、大一文憑課程、碩士預科課程等，必須遵循UKVI的新規(guī)定，學生必須在被授權提供用于英國簽證及移民的雅思考試(IELTS for UKVisas and Immigration)的考點參加考試，也必須在報名時就明確考試目的。
雅思閱讀全真練習系列：Search begins for 'Earth' beyond solar system
Search begins for 'Earth' beyond solar system
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.
