雅思閱讀提速技巧
在練習(xí)雅思閱讀時，做題速度是很多烤鴨的弱點，一起來看雅思閱讀提速的技巧經(jīng)驗吧。下面小編就和大家分享，來欣賞一下吧。
雅思閱讀提速技巧 經(jīng)驗分享
雅思閱讀相對于其他單項來說本應(yīng)該是同學(xué)們的強項，但是如果閱讀速度太慢，或者總是糾結(jié)在選答案遲遲無法作答，會令同學(xué)們馬失前蹄。怎么辦呢?不急，小編為你整理了九條雅思閱讀的“提速高招”!
1.先看題目后閱讀
考試時，一定是先看閱讀題再看原文。
注意：
(1)閱讀試題每一部分的開頭與結(jié)尾;
(2)每部分有多少道題;
(3)每部分的答題時間;
(4)先回答哪些問題。
在開始閱讀所給文章前，應(yīng)首先弄清需要回答的問題，再帶著這些問題，去讀那些與答題有關(guān)的部分。這樣就可以節(jié)省出更多時間，達到事半功倍的效果。
2.主旨題+細節(jié)題
主旨題與細節(jié)題考察考生是否具備掌握主旨、查找細節(jié)的能力。
主旨題：List of Headings
細節(jié)題：除List of Headings以外的所有題型，包括T/F/NG、Matching、Summary、Multiple Choice等。
對于主旨題，我們主要通過把握段落結(jié)構(gòu)(總分、分總、總分總、分總分)，重點抓住該段的主題句和反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的詞匯(即高頻詞或核心詞)，來進行突破。一般來說，主題句50%以上在段首句。
做雅思閱讀細節(jié)題時一定要先確定關(guān)鍵詞然后回原文中定位，找一一對應(yīng)關(guān)系。其中，T/F/NG題考察的是理解原文具體細節(jié)的精確度。而Matching題則考察學(xué)生查找細節(jié)的速度。
先做主旨題再做細節(jié)題可以使定位細節(jié)變得更快更準確。
3.合理安排閱讀答題時間
平時在家備考雅思閱讀的時候就要養(yǎng)成比較好的做題習(xí)慣，計時并且是細到每篇雅思閱讀文章計時!第一篇一般8分鐘完成，第二篇和第三篇分別是12-15分鐘，超過時間發(fā)現(xiàn)題目還沒有做完就不要再思考了。不要在某道小題目上思考太久，爭取把能夠做對的題目全都做對。
4.注意力訓(xùn)練：20分鐘完成一篇文章
一開始訓(xùn)練雅思閱讀，很多考生可能無法適應(yīng)1小時3篇閱讀文章的題量?很難注意力集中?
這時候可以做拆分練習(xí)，20分鐘做完一篇雅思閱讀文章，堅持1個月之后，隨著對雅思閱讀題型的熟悉，注意力逐漸能夠長時間集中之后，很多考生就能適應(yīng)這種高強度的雅思閱讀考試了。
5.單項訓(xùn)練：一次做一個題型
雅思閱讀的題型很多，除了基本的單選和填空題，還包括判斷、段落理解題，不同的題型的考察重點不同，比如，List of Headings考察是段落理解能力，True/ False / Not given考察的是句子理解能力。有針對性的答題往往會總結(jié)出適合自己的答題規(guī)律。
6.“換句話說“別看了
“換句話說、也就是說”意味著后面的內(nèi)容與前面一致或是對前面的解釋，因此只用看前面的內(nèi)容即可。
常見的表達有：that is (to say)，put another way，in other words等。
如：“The state has no obligation to provide a health-care system itself, but to ensure that such a system is provided. Put another way, basic health-care is now recognized as a ‘public good’, rather than a ‘private good’ that one is expected to buy for oneself.”(劍橋雅思真題4, Test 4, Reading Passage 3) 略掉“Put another way”后面的內(nèi)容，只看前面。
7.“論據(jù)“不看
為了論證觀點，文章中經(jīng)常會大量出現(xiàn)各式各樣的論據(jù)，但它們并不是文章的重點。故概覽文章時，論據(jù)可以先忽略不看。
而常見的“論據(jù)”形式有：
含“舉例”的句子：for example / instance，e.g.，such as等;
含“數(shù)據(jù)”的句子：百分比(%，percentage)，描述統(tǒng)計結(jié)果的數(shù)字;
引用名人/專家言論(直接/間接引語)的句子;
以some，a few，others等表達“某些”的單詞為開頭的句子。
8.同義詞的替換
雅思閱讀相比托福閱讀，雅思會更加體現(xiàn)詞匯量的重要性，特別是在雅思的閱讀中，經(jīng)常會出現(xiàn)同義的互換。所以，在日常生活中，大家應(yīng)該加強同義互換能力的鍛煉。
往往正確答案是原文的是這樣寫的，可是關(guān)鍵考點單詞有可能被同義替換掉。如果不懂得同義詞的使用的話，你可能會一臉懵。所以在日常生活中，我們應(yīng)該多去擴展同義詞、近義詞和反義詞等的積累。
9.整理閱讀詞庫
在平時的閱讀過程中，習(xí)慣性的去積累整理自己的詞庫語庫，日常可以多去翻看閱讀，這比你耗時間去背誦記詞來得更快，在閱讀的過程中一方面把題目做完了，一方面還能通過語境把詞匯背下來，這樣背單詞記得會更牢。

Don‘t wash those fossils!
Standard museum practice can wash away DNA.
1.Washing，brushing and varnishing fossils — all standard conservation treatments used by many fossil hunters and museum curators alike — vastly reduces the chances of recovering ancient DNA.
2.Instead，excavators should be handling at least some of their bounty with gloves，and freezing samples as they are found，dirt and all，concludes a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences today.
3.Although many palaeontologists know anecdotally that this is the best way to up the odds of extracting good DNA，Eva-Maria Geigl of the Jacques Monod Institute in Paris，F(xiàn)rance，and her colleagues have now shown just how important conservation practices can be. This information，they say，needs to be hammered home among the people who are actually out in the field digging up bones.
4.Geigl and her colleagues looked at 3，200-year-old fossil bones belonging to a single individual of an extinct cattle species，called an aurochs. The fossils were dug up at a site in France at two different times — either in 1947，and stored in a museum collection，or in 2004，and conserved in sterile conditions at -20 oC.
5.The team’s attempts to extract DNA from the 1947 bones all failed. The newly excavated fossils，however，all yielded DNA.
6.Because the bones had been buried for the same amount of time，and in the same conditions，the conservation method had to be to blame says Geigl. “As much DNA was degraded in these 57 years as in the 3，200 years before，” she says.
Wash in，wash out
7.Because many palaeontologists base their work on the shape of fossils alone，their methods of conservation are not designed to preserve DNA，Geigl explains.
8.The biggest problem is how they are cleaned. Fossils are often washed together on-site in a large bath，which can allow water — and contaminants in the form of contemporary DNA — to permeate into the porous bones. “Not only is the authentic DNA getting washed out，but contamination is getting washed in，” says Geigl.
9.Most ancient DNA specialists know this already，says Hendrik Poinar，an evolutionary geneticist at McMaster University in Ontario，Canada. But that doesn‘t mean that best practice has become widespread among those who actually find the fossils.
10.Getting hold of fossils that have been preserved with their DNA in mind relies on close relationships between lab-based geneticists and the excavators，says palaeogeneticist Svante P??bo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig，Germany. And that only occurs in exceptional cases，he says.
11.P??bo’s team，which has been sequencing Neanderthal DNA，continually faces these problems. “When you want to study ancient human and Neanderthal remains，there‘s a big issue of contamination with contemporary human DNA，” he says.
12.This doesn’t mean that all museum specimens are fatally flawed，notes P??bo. The Neanderthal fossils that were recently sequenced in his own lab，for example，had been part of a museum collection treated in the traditional way. But P??bo is keen to see samples of fossils from every major find preserved in line with Geigl‘s recommendations — just in case.
Warm and wet
13.Geigl herself believes that，with cooperation between bench and field researchers，preserving fossils properly could open up avenues of discovery that have long been assumed closed.
14.Much human cultural development took place in temperate regions. DNA does not survive well in warm environments in the first place，and can vanish when fossils are washed and treated. For this reason，Geigl says，most ancient DNA studies have been done on permafrost samples，such as the woolly mammoth，or on remains sheltered from the elements in cold caves — including cave bear and Neanderthal fossils.
15.Better conservation methods，and a focus on fresh fossils，could boost DNA extraction from more delicate specimens，says Geigl. And that could shed more light on the story of human evolution.

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.
