【雅思閱讀高分經(jīng)驗(yàn)】閱讀就像電腦運(yùn)行大型游戲
做閱讀，就像電腦運(yùn)行大型游戲
作為一個(gè)文科生，在看到科技類文章的時(shí)候她也特別不樂意，這種文章，你越怕，就越有可能在考試的時(shí)候出現(xiàn)，但也沒有辦法，練習(xí)總得做。而且對(duì)大多數(shù)人來說，也不可能去背那些大量的理科生都不一定知道的英語(yǔ)專業(yè)詞匯，所以她建議，閱讀的時(shí)候聯(lián)系上下文很關(guān)鍵，也許有的時(shí)候也不需要聯(lián)系上下文，只要你能找出來就行，平時(shí)沒事兒多練練這樣的眼力。
由于雅思考試三大塊筆試試題都是分開時(shí)間的，時(shí)間方面是挺緊的。所以其實(shí)閱讀速度也是很重要的一項(xiàng)閱讀能力，從對(duì)詞匯的掌握熟練度到長(zhǎng)難句式的理解，如果這些都能提高，那么閱讀速度肯定會(huì)上來。
“在考試的時(shí)候，首先自己要知道怎么快速進(jìn)入閱讀狀態(tài)。如果進(jìn)入狀態(tài)去讀文章，完全是事半功倍。我個(gè)人覺得文章難易度是很影響我進(jìn)入狀態(tài)的，雅思幾乎不會(huì)出現(xiàn)覺得太簡(jiǎn)單的文章，如果我覺得剛剛好的難度我會(huì)看的很快，然后就是吸收信息的速度也會(huì)很理想。然而這個(gè)歸根結(jié)底還是一個(gè)閱讀能力的問題?！?/p>
閱讀部分文章都偏長(zhǎng)，考試時(shí)間又有限，在談到閱讀能力這個(gè)問題，她用了一個(gè)非常有趣的比喻：“就好比運(yùn)行大型游戲，如果你的電腦顯卡不行它就會(huì)卡，可是如果你顯卡很好它就不卡。
同理要是文章太難，我們讀得磕磕絆絆，處理信息速度特別慢，基本進(jìn)入不了狀態(tài)。所以總而言之我覺得長(zhǎng)度不是關(guān)鍵，難度或者說你對(duì)這類型文章的適應(yīng)度才是關(guān)鍵。如果看得順的話，文章篇幅長(zhǎng)也是沒有關(guān)系的?！?/p>
對(duì)她來說，閱讀是發(fā)揮得比較不錯(cuò)的，平時(shí)做題常有覺得時(shí)間有點(diǎn)緊的情況，這次很順利都能做完，主要平時(shí)練習(xí)的時(shí)候總結(jié)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，下次怎么更合理安排時(shí)間會(huì)有幫助。“同一篇文章會(huì)有三種題型左右，也是有不同的難易程度，如果你在前面的文章卡住了不要太著急，后面文章比較簡(jiǎn)單的題型你要保證拿到。
如果實(shí)在是怎么都搞不懂了就跳下一道題，實(shí)在是看不懂你冥思苦想也沒有什么用，往下做搞不好還能碰到相關(guān)信息。時(shí)間本來就很緊湊，有時(shí)候還浪費(fèi)在這種其實(shí)你怎么花時(shí)間也看不懂的題上面是太浪費(fèi)了。到最后也不知道的話就按照你僅有的線索或者常識(shí)蒙吧，反正比空著強(qiáng)。
而且要是抱著消極的情緒做題，那結(jié)果肯定也很消極，萬(wàn)一看到不喜歡的題型或者內(nèi)容也一定請(qǐng)調(diào)整心態(tài)吧。我個(gè)人覺得這個(gè)對(duì)于閱讀水平的發(fā)揮影響還是挺大的，有時(shí)候你水平就在這兒可是遇到不同的題發(fā)揮可能差別很大。”
雅思考試閱讀模擬練習(xí)及答案
How to increase sales
From The Economist print edition
How shops can exploit people's herd mentality to increase sales
1.A TRIP to the supermarket may not seem like an exercise in psychological warfare—but it is.Shopkeepers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they had intended.Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors.Now researchers are investigating how “swarm intelligence” (that is，how ants，bees or any social animal，including humans，behave in a crowd) can be used to influence what people buy.
2.At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome，Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani，a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology，described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon.Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted: for instance，by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store，forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them.Mr Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes，also of the Florida Institute of Technology，set out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on the herd instinct.The idea is that，if a certain product is seen to be popular，shoppers are likely to choose it too.The challenge is to keep customers informed about what others are buying.
3.Enter smart-cart technology.In Mr Usmani's supermarket every product has a radio frequency identification tag，a sort of barcode that uses radio waves to transmit information，and every trolley has a scanner that reads this information and relays it to a central computer.As a customer walks past a shelf of goods，a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product.If the number is high，he is more likely to select it too.
4.Mr Usmani's “swarm-moves” model appeals to supermarkets because it increases sales without the need to give people discounts.And it gives shoppers the satisfaction of knowing that they bought the “right” product—that is，the one everyone else bought.The model has not yet been tested widely in the real world，mainly because radio frequency identification technology is new and has only been installed experimentally in some supermarkets.But Mr Usmani says that both Wal-Mart in America and Tesco in Britain are interested in his work，and testing will get under way in the spring.
5.Another recent study on the power of social influence indicates that sales could，indeed，be boosted in this way.Matthew Salganik of Columbia University in New York and his colleagues have described creating an artificial music market in which some 14,000 people downloaded previously unknown songs.The researchers found that when people could see the songs ranked by how many times they had been downloaded，they followed the crowd.When the songs were not ordered by rank，but the number of times they had been downloaded was displayed，the effect of social influence was still there but was less pronounced.People thus follow the herd when it is easy for them to do so.
6.In Japan a chain of convenience shops called RanKing RanQueen has been ordering its products according to sales data from department stores and research companies.The shops sell only the most popular items in each product category，and the rankings are updated weekly.Icosystem，a company in Cambridge，Massachusetts，also aims to exploit knowledge of social networking to improve sales.
7.And the psychology that works in physical stores is just as potent on the internet.Online retailers such as Amazon are adept at telling shoppers which products are popular with like-minded consumers.Even in the privacy of your home，you can still be part of the swarm.

Answer keys:
1.答案：(freshly baked) bread. (第1段第2行：Shoppers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they intended.)
2.答案：expensive. (第1段第4行： Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors.)
3.答案：impulse buying. (第2段第1句：At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome, Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani, a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology, described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon.)
4.答案：other (tempting) goods/things/products. (第2段第2句：Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted: for instance, by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store, forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them.)
5.答案：screen. (第3段第4行：As a customer walks past a shelf of goods, a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product. If the number is high, he is more likely to select it too.)
6.答案：discounts. (第4段第第1句：Mr Usmani’s “swarm-moves” model appeals to supermarkets because it increases sales without the need to give people discounts.)
7.答案：NO.(第4段第3、4句：The model has not yet been tested widely in the real world, mainly because radio frequency identification technology is new and has only been installed experimentally in some supermarkets. But Mr Usmani says that both Wal-Mart in America an Tesco in Britain are interestd in his workd, and testing will get under way in the spring. 短語(yǔ) “get under way”的意思是“開始進(jìn)行”，在Wal-Mart的試驗(yàn)要等到春天才開始)

11.答案：YES。(第6段第1句：In Japan a chain of convenience shops called RanKing RanQueen has been ordering its products according to sales data from department stores and research companies.)
12.答案：YES。(最后一段最后一句：Even in the privacy of your home, you can still be part of the swarm. home應(yīng)該算是everyday life的一部分)
