雅思閱讀如何實現(xiàn)從6分到7分
雅思閱讀 如何實現(xiàn)從6分到7分?一起來學習一下吧,下面小編就和大家分享,來欣賞一下吧。
雅思閱讀 如何實現(xiàn)從6分到7分?
現(xiàn)階段已經(jīng)穩(wěn)定達到雅思6分以上水平,目標在雅思7分及以上的同學,基本上對雅思閱讀的題型和做題思路和方法已經(jīng)比較熟悉(如果你對題型不熟,也達到了這個分數(shù),那么告訴你一個好消息,題型熟了以后你的閱讀分數(shù)就會非常高);
同時具備了至少5000-6000的詞匯水平,能夠較好地理解題目和文章核心部分;雅思劍橋真題也已經(jīng)刷了不少,具備了較多的做題經(jīng)驗。而想要有更進一步的提高,這些同學還需要做到:處理好時間與正確率的關系;拒絕鉆牛角尖;揣摩出題人的意圖。
處理好時間與正確率的關系
經(jīng)常聽同學們吐槽,再給我十分鐘,我就能把題目做對。時間把控確實是不少同學的心病,往往因為時間沒有有效把控,導致題目和文章中的同意替換沒有理解透徹,或者由于考場上被刻意營造出來的緊張氛圍而陣腳大亂,心理防線崩盤,造成分數(shù)不理想。
閱讀考試中的速度有兩部分:閱讀文章的速度和審題做題的速度。同學們需要分別提升這兩種速度。
首先說一下審題做題的速度,這一點沒有特別的好辦法,只有“逼自己”。一方面逼自己扎實鞏固詞匯量和長難句的分析能力(雅思閱讀中的長難句絕大多數(shù)可以依靠國內高中水平的語法知識分析理解,如果對這方面有困難則需要回爐梳理語法知識),另一方面就是在平時的練習中逼自己控制時間,通常情況下,13-14道題目的審題時間控制在3分鐘以內,第一篇閱讀完成時間在15-18分鐘以內(不建議太快,有同學可能15分鐘內就能完成第一篇,但是一定要保證準確率,不然還是放慢一點),第二篇18-20分鐘以內,第三篇23分鐘左右。
以上都是我們在平時的練習中需要達到的基本時間要求,這樣的話才會在真實的考場上游刃有余,幫助緩解緊張的心態(tài)。
其次是閱讀文章的速度,眾所周知在考試中,文章內容并非需要一字不差的看完,如何準確略掉與做題無關或者不影響理解的內容,需要結合文章段落內部的邏輯結構和語法框架,審時度勢。
拒絕鉆牛角尖
到了六分水平以后,很多同學在做閱讀,尤其是判斷題時,特別喜歡“抬杠”,抬答案的杠,而我一向以為這是一種浪費時間的無效動作。這種抬杠現(xiàn)象的背后,一方面是考生對于文章和題目都有了比較清晰的認知,并且勇于思考,這是一種進步的表現(xiàn),但是也體現(xiàn)了對英語邏輯思維的不熟悉,以及對于雅思閱讀根據(jù)同意替換做題這一精髓還未能完全悟透。
一旦出現(xiàn)錯題,在確定印刷出版無誤之后,考生的正確姿勢應該是及時給自己“洗腦”,而不是繼續(xù)按照自己的思維去理解題目了。盡管兩種語言思維確有差異,但我們?yōu)榱藢⒀潘碱}目做對,是不是應該順從英語思維或者出題人的思維呢?
繼續(xù)堅持自己的看法是不可能改變任何現(xiàn)狀的。如果我們愿意低下自己高貴的頭顱,在平時的練習和考試中順從模仿英語思維,去理解答案的出處,久而久之,當我們也形成了類似的英語思維,那么選出正確答案就變得順理成章。
揣摩出題人的意圖
我們埋頭刷題的目的是什么?為了熟悉題型,為了積累同意替換,為了鍛煉速度。但還有一個目的可能對我們閱讀能力的質的提升有重大幫助,就是領會出題人的意圖。同學們有空可以嘗試先不做題,只看文章。比如這段話,劃出你認為比較重要的三點信息。
The Phoenicians inhabited the region of modern Lebanon and Syria from about 3000 BC. They became the greatest traders of the pre-classical world, and were the first people to establish a large colonial network. Both of these activities were based on seafaring, an ability the Phoenicians developed from the example of their maritime predecessors, the Minoans of Crete.
如果你劃了the greatest traders/ colonial network/ seafaring,恭喜你,幾乎練就閱讀神功了。此三點都是出題點。
有一些刷過很多真題的同學可能會有這樣的感覺:在看文章時,能夠直接察覺文章內部有一些內容很可能是出題點,當開始審題時,他們會發(fā)現(xiàn)剛才的出題點確實出題了。
如果有同學具備了這種猜透出題人心思的能力,那么距離閱讀高分已經(jīng)近在咫尺了,而這種能力是需要大量刷題并且對題目和對應答案句進行細致精讀后積累出來的思維慣性。
刷題一定要帶腦子,審題一定要會預判,努力思考題目中可能的同意替換點,可能在文章中出現(xiàn)的同意替換表達。做題一定要嘗試反推,題目所對應的段落可能包含什么樣的信息。
雅思閱讀模擬練習及答案
Rogue theory of smell gets a boost
1. A controversial theory of how we smell, which claims that our fine sense of odour depends on quantum mechanics, has been given the thumbs up by a team of physicists.
2. Calculations by researchers at University College London (UCL) show that the idea that we smell odour molecules by sensing their molecular vibrations makes sense in terms of the physics involved.
3. That’s still some way from proving that the theory, proposed in the mid-1990s by biophysicist Luca Turin, is correct. But it should make other scientists take the idea more seriously.
4. “This is a big step forward,” says Turin, who has now set up his own perfume company Flexitral in Virginia. He says that since he published his theory, “it has been ignored rather than criticized.”
5. Most scientists have assumed that our sense of smell depends on receptors in the nose detecting the shape of incoming molecules, which triggers a signal to the brain. This molecular ’lock and key’ process is thought to lie behind a wide range of the body’s detection systems: it is how some parts of the immune system recognise invaders, for example, and how the tongue recognizes some tastes.
6. But Turin argued that smell doesn’t seem to fit this picture very well. Molecules that look almost identical can smell very different — such as alcohols, which smell like spirits, and thiols, which smell like rotten eggs. And molecules with very different structures can smell similar. Most strikingly, some molecules can smell different — to animals, if not necessarily to humans — simply because they contain different isotopes (atoms that are chemically identical but have a different mass)。
7. Turin’s explanation for these smelly facts invokes the idea that the smell signal in olfactory receptor proteins is triggered not by an odour molecule’s shape, but by its vibrations, which can enourage an electron to jump between two parts of the receptor in a quantum-mechanical process called tunnelling. This electron movement could initiate the smell signal being sent to the brain.
8. This would explain why isotopes can smell different: their vibration frequencies are changed if the atoms are heavier. Turin’s mechanism, says Marshall Stoneham of the UCL team, is more like swipe-card identification than a key fitting a lock.
9. Vibration-assisted electron tunnelling can undoubtedly occur — it is used in an experimental technique for measuring molecular vibrations. “The question is whether this is possible in the nose,” says Stoneham’s colleague, Andrew Horsfield.
10. Stoneham says that when he first heard about Turin’s idea, while Turin was himself based at UCL, “I didn’t believe it”。 But, he adds, “because it was an interesting idea, I thought I should prove it couldn’t work. I did some simple calculations, and only then began to feel Luca could be right.” Now Stoneham and his co-workers have done the job more thoroughly, in a paper soon to be published in Physical Review Letters.
11. The UCL team calculated the rates of electron hopping in a nose receptor that has an odorant molecule bound to it. This rate depends on various properties of the biomolecular system that are not known, but the researchers could estimate these parameters based on typical values for molecules of this sort.
12. The key issue is whether the hopping rate with the odorant in place is significantly greater than that without it. The calculations show that it is — which means that odour identification in this way seems theoretically possible.
13. But Horsfield stresses that that’s different from a proof of Turin’s idea. “So far things look plausible, but we need proper experimental verification. We’re beginning to think about what experiments could be performed.”
14. Meanwhile, Turin is pressing ahead with his hypothesis. “At Flexitral we have been designing odorants exclusively on the basis of their computed vibrations,” he says. “Our success rate at odorant discovery is two orders of magnitude better than the competition.” At the very least, he is putting his money where his nose is.

Answer Keys and Explanations
1. T 見第一段?!癵ive sth the thumbs up”為“接受“的意思。
2. F 見第三段。 “That’s still some way from proving that the theory, proposed in the mid- 1990s by biophysicist Luca Turin, is correct.”意即“現(xiàn)在尚無法證實生物物理學家Luca在九十年代中期提出的理論是否正確?!?/p>
3. NG
4. T 見第六段 “Molecules that look almost identical can smell very different — such as alcohols, which smell like spirits, and thiols, which smell like rotten eggs.”“identical” 一詞是“完全相同”的意思。這句話是說alcohols和thiols的分子結構看起來一樣,但是它們的味道卻相去甚遠。
5. Luca Turin 文章第二,三和七段均可看出Luca的理論即人類的鼻子是通過感覺氣味分子的震動來分辨氣味的。
6. Virginia 見第四段。
7. tongue 見第五段 “This molecular ’lock and key’ process is thought to lie behind a wide range of the body’s detection systems: it is how some parts of the immune system recognise invaders, for example, and how the tongue recognizes some tastes.”
8. the atoms 見第八段 “This would explain why isotopes can smell different: their vibration frequencies are changed if the atoms are heavier.”
9. vibration-assisted electron tunneling 見第九段 ““The question is whether this is possible in the nose,” says Stoneham’s colleague, Andrew Horsfield.” 句中的代詞“this”指句首的“vibration-assisted electron tunneling”。
10. Andrew Horsfield 見第九段結尾。
11.proper experimental verification 見第十三段。
12.their computed vibrations 見第十四段
