閱讀技巧是比較容易get的,如果你沒有上過閱讀的培訓(xùn)班,閱讀做不完的話,有可能是欠一個(gè)“點(diǎn)撥”。今天小編給大家?guī)砹搜潘奸喿x如何考8技巧分享,希望可以幫助到大家,下面小編就和大家分享,來欣賞一下吧。
雅思閱讀如何考8技巧分享
我的詞匯量不算大,用各類背詞匯APP測(cè)都在8000左右,有一次測(cè)出了6000,嚇尿了,趕緊把內(nèi)APP卸載了定定神……但是幾次考雅思,閱讀從未下過8。我人生中為詞匯做過的唯一一件事,就是背了一本四級(jí)詞匯,是真的一本,沒停留在A或者B或者C。我的語(yǔ)法還OK,高考比較努力,刷了兩三遍高中英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法。再就是大學(xué)期間為了裝逼,訂過一年的China Daily,每期會(huì)精讀兩到三篇,然后刷過一套哈利波特英語(yǔ)版。但是老實(shí)說我并不認(rèn)為后兩項(xiàng)有什么太大的助益,因?yàn)槭紫饶遣挥?jì)時(shí),再就是流派不同,詞法句法都有區(qū)別。
第一次做劍橋雅思真題,我是沒做完的。并且后來也總是做不完。后來報(bào)了一個(gè)新東方的班(非廣告,真事),第一節(jié)課下來就醍醐灌頂,簡(jiǎn)短解說就是原來不用都看完啊soga……
@青荇流霜:閱讀9分。讀完一篇文章9分鐘是比較標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的,剩下9分鐘做題,三篇閱讀做完還剩6分鐘檢查改答案。
考雅思之前剛過6級(jí),很普通的分?jǐn)?shù)550,上了大學(xué)以后就沒學(xué)過英語(yǔ)也沒背過單詞,詞匯量語(yǔ)法等等停留在高中水平(甚至更低)
10月份下定決心去考雅思,買了劍橋4到9,本來想自學(xué)來著,但是做了兩本以后發(fā)覺不行,乖乖報(bào)了一個(gè)本地的培訓(xùn)班。關(guān)于培訓(xùn)班,我覺得幫助最大的是寫作,口語(yǔ)也有提升,但是另外兩項(xiàng)基本沒什么幫助…
進(jìn)入正題,現(xiàn)在比較流行的閱讀做法是先看題然后定位找答案,但是我是通讀全文后直接做題。定位的很大可能就是做完以后你還不知道這篇文章在說什么,而且定位準(zhǔn)確也很費(fèi)時(shí)間,完全是重復(fù)勞動(dòng)嘛。我看題找文章的時(shí)候正確率奇低還做得頭暈?zāi)X脹。
做的時(shí)候掐好表,讀完一篇文章9分鐘是比較標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的,剩下9分鐘做題,三篇閱讀做完還剩6分鐘檢查改答案(我考試的時(shí)候就改了一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤答案)。
閱讀單詞量其實(shí)是四科里面要求最小的,只要高中好好學(xué)了英語(yǔ),能分清楚名詞動(dòng)詞形容詞副詞,做題完全沒問題。讀的時(shí)候一口氣往下讀,某一句沒讀懂完全不是問題,把握住全文才是關(guān)鍵。讀的時(shí)候要做標(biāo)記,人名和時(shí)間、數(shù)字打圈圈出來,關(guān)鍵句或者關(guān)鍵詞劃線,方便做題的時(shí)候回顧。我覺得題主做得慢可能很大一個(gè)原因是讀得慢,這種時(shí)候就強(qiáng)迫自己往下讀,一句話決不要讀兩遍以上。
還有就是閱讀要有充分的腦補(bǔ)能力,很多時(shí)候不是你看懂了文章,而是你用既有的實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)去理解了文章,比如一個(gè)建筑系的學(xué)生碰到了一篇講建筑的文章,就算他英語(yǔ)很爛估計(jì)也不會(huì)覺得那篇文章難懂。雅思閱讀不會(huì)考很高冷的東西,或多或少都是我們有接觸的主題,把經(jīng)驗(yàn)和文章匹配很有效。
最后,很重要的一點(diǎn),考前一定要睡好,閱讀需要精神高度集中,短時(shí)記憶強(qiáng)度很大,犯困的時(shí)候是做不好閱讀的。
所以我堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為雅思閱讀是最好提分也是最不好提分的,因?yàn)榭赡苣悴畹氖悄且还?jié)課,也可能你差的是英語(yǔ)能力中最基礎(chǔ),最難短期提高的東西。
三板斧輕松拿下雅思閱讀!
第一板斧
巧用“明顯定位詞”
雅思閱讀除了“段落標(biāo)題(List of Heading)”題型外,無論其題型如何變化,做題的步驟最終都可以歸納為“定位 + 語(yǔ)言信息處理”。定位主要依靠的是掃讀法,考查考生在短時(shí)間內(nèi)找到所需信息的能力。
尋找定位詞有三大原則:
1所找的定位詞不能是全文不斷重復(fù)出現(xiàn)的詞,比如文章的標(biāo)題,也就是說定位詞不能是全篇文章都在討論的事情;
2定位詞不需要太多,越精辟越好;
3定位詞在題目中和在原文中最好是相同的,即使有所變化,這種變化也是容易識(shí)別的。
定位詞有“明顯”和“非明顯”之分,明顯定位詞具有一些顯著的特征,為考生確定定位詞時(shí)的首選。下面我們來看一些例子:
1數(shù)字
數(shù)字可以說是最明顯和最簡(jiǎn)單的定位詞,尤其是阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字,閱讀時(shí)一眼掃過去基本就可以將其抓取出來,例如:
題目:The 1990 survey related to 550,000 consultations with alternative therapists.
分析:這兩個(gè)特別引人矚目的數(shù)字是關(guān)鍵詞,其中的任何一個(gè)都可以幫助考生快速在文中定位所需的信息。
原文:The 550,000 consultations with alternative therapists reported in the 1990 survey...
此外,可以作為明顯定位詞的時(shí)間表達(dá)有時(shí)候也包括時(shí)間的上下義轉(zhuǎn)換,這類定位詞的識(shí)別難度并不大,比如:在題目中是數(shù)字“2000”,表示“2000年”,但是在原文中是new millennium或turn of the century。
經(jīng)典推薦:考官級(jí)口語(yǔ)寫作9分范文資料超級(jí)大匯總(史無前例數(shù)百篇)
有時(shí)候也出現(xiàn)關(guān)于“時(shí)代”的表達(dá),它們同樣也可以作為明顯定位詞,比如題目中出現(xiàn)的Industrial Age、Middle Ages或Medieval Times基本都能在原文中找到相同的表達(dá)。
2專有名詞
常見的專有名詞包括人名、地名、國(guó)名、機(jī)構(gòu)名、組織名等,這類詞語(yǔ)的首字母通常是需要大寫的,所以比較容易識(shí)別出來,例如:
題目:Popper says that the scientific method is hypothetico-deductive.
原文:Popper was arguing that the nature of scientific is hypothetico-deductive and not as is …
題目:Following the construction of the Tavanasa Bridge, the architect failed to …
原文:But the Tavanasa Bridge gained little favourable publicity in Switzerland …
3專業(yè)術(shù)語(yǔ)
專業(yè)術(shù)語(yǔ)通常都是具有名詞性質(zhì)的詞語(yǔ),一般情況下都比較長(zhǎng),基本沒有變化的可能性,例如:
題目:… made using a less poisonous type of phosphorus…
原文: … were safe because the red phosphorus was non-toxic …
4特殊印刷
常見的特殊印刷字體包括粗體、斜體、連字符、引號(hào)等,這些都是比較明顯的定位詞,很容易抓取出來,例如:
題目:It has been suggested that children hold mistaken views about the 'pure' science that they study at school.
原文:Many studies have shown that children harbour misconception about 'pure', curriculum science.
題目:Scientists have yet to determine the cue for Chusquea abietifolia's seasonal rhythm.
分析:該題中Chusquea abietifolia用了斜體,而且它是一個(gè)術(shù)語(yǔ),在文中可以原封不動(dòng)地找到該詞,因此是一個(gè)很好的定位詞。
原文:Every bamboo of the species Chusquea abietifolia on the island of Jamaica flowered, set seed and died during 1884.
第二板斧
膽大心細(xì),沉穩(wěn)包抄
如果說“明顯定位詞”是天上掉下來的餡餅,那也不能期待天天都會(huì)掉餡餅。當(dāng)我們?cè)陬}目中找不到 “明顯定位詞”時(shí),那該如何是好呢?
在名詞(組)、動(dòng)詞(組)、形容詞(組)和副詞(組)中,最不容易發(fā)生變化的,或者說即使發(fā)生變化也最容易識(shí)別的當(dāng)屬名詞(組)了。那么,當(dāng)我們需要用名詞(組)來做定位詞時(shí),又有哪些注意事項(xiàng)呢?
1挑選意思最具體的名詞(組)
題目:… a belief that all the health-care resources the community needed would be produced by economic growth.
分析:在這道題里,我們可以看到4個(gè)名詞(組),因?yàn)槲恼碌闹黝}是討論“一個(gè)國(guó)家所需要的醫(yī)療保障”,因此health-care resources和community不能成為定位詞。在belief和economic growth中,前者所指太過寬泛,不好用來定位,后者的意思就明確多了。
原文:It was assumed without question that all the basic health needs of any community could be satisfied, at least in principle; the 'invisible hand' of economic progress.
2用修飾成分確定該名詞(組)的范圍
題目:Performance has improved most greatly in events requiring an intensive burst of energy.
分析:在這道題里可以看到2個(gè)名詞(組),因?yàn)槲恼碌闹黝}是討論“運(yùn)動(dòng)員表現(xiàn)的進(jìn)步”,因此performance不能成為定位詞。在使用events作為定位詞時(shí),要把相關(guān)的修飾成分一起劃入進(jìn)來,以限定events的范圍。
原文:For the so-called power events—that require a relatively brief, explosive release of energy, …
第三板斧
化繁為簡(jiǎn),如虎添翼
定位詞和關(guān)鍵詞有著不一樣的功能。簡(jiǎn)單來說,定位詞是為了幫助考生快速在文章中找到答案的出處。關(guān)鍵詞則是為了幫助考生將一個(gè)大題中大量的文字信息處理成為少量的文字信息,化繁為簡(jiǎn),以提高解題的效率。找出正確的關(guān)鍵詞對(duì)于那些沒有順序原則的題型(如細(xì)節(jié)配對(duì)題)有特別重大的意義(注:關(guān)鍵詞的劃法和定位詞的劃法是一致的)。讓我們先來看一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)配對(duì)題:
1細(xì)節(jié)配對(duì)題
Questions 36-40:
Match the languages A-F with the statements below which describe how a language was saved.
Languages
A Welsh D Romansch
B Maori E Ainu
C Faroese F Kaurna
36. The region in which the language was spoken gained increased independence.
37. People were encouraged to view the language with less prejudice.
38. Language immersion programs were set up for sectors of the population.
39. A merger of different varieties of the language took place.
40. Written samples of the language permitted its revitalization.
很明顯,這道題的定位憑借的是方框里首字母大寫的語(yǔ)言名稱。因?yàn)檫@個(gè)題型不遵循順序原則,因此到原文中定位之前,最好將36-40這五句話的信息進(jìn)行處理,這樣效率會(huì)高很多。我們可以看到,原本50個(gè)詞的信息量經(jīng)過處理后變?yōu)榱司哂嘘P(guān)鍵意義的21個(gè)詞(紅色標(biāo)注字體),整整減少了一半。再來看一個(gè)多項(xiàng)選擇題:
2多項(xiàng)選擇題
Which THREE of the following statements are true of Johnson's Dictionary?
A. It avoid all scholarly words.
B. It was the only English dictionary in general use of 200 years.
C. It was famous because of the large number of people involved.
D. It focused mainly on Language from contemporary texts.
E. There was a time limit for its completion.
F. It ignored work done by previous dictionary writers.
G. It took into account subtleties of meaning.
H. Its definitions were famous for their originality.
未經(jīng)處理時(shí),這個(gè)題共有80多個(gè)詞,處理完關(guān)鍵詞后,考生只需帶著30來個(gè)詞(紅色標(biāo)注部分)的關(guān)鍵信息到文章進(jìn)行查找即可。

Digital Diet
A
Telecommuting, Internet shopping and online meetings may save energy as compared with in-person alternatives, but as the digital age moves on, its green reputation is turning a lot browner. E-mailing, number crunching and Web searches in the U S. consumed as much as 61 billion kilowatt-hours last year, or 1.5 percent of the nation's electricity—half of which comes from coal. In 2005 the computers of the world ate up 123 billion kilowatt- hours of energy, a number that will double by 2010 if present trends continue, according to Jonathan Koomey, a staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National laboratory. As a result, the power bill to run a computer over its lifetime will surpass the cost of buying the machine in the first place giving Internet and computer companies a business reason to cut energy costs, as well as an environmental one.
B
One of the biggest energy sinks comes not from the computers themselves but from the air-conditioning needed to keep them from overheating. For every kilowatt-hour of energy used for computing m a data center, another kilowatt-hour is required to cool the furnacelike racks of servers.
C
For Internet giant Google, this reality has driven efforts such as the installation of a solar array that can provide 30 percent of the peak power needs of its Mountain View, Calif., headquarters as well as increasing purchases of renewable energy. But to deliver Web pages within seconds, the firm must maintain hundreds of thousands of computer servers in cavernous buildings. "It's a good thing to worry about server energy efficiency," remarks Google's green energy czar Bill Weihl. "We are actively working to maximize the efficiency of our data centers, which account for most of the energy Google consumes worldwide " Google will funnel some of its profits into a new effort, dubbed R£<€ (for renewable energy cheaper than coal, as Google translates it) to make sources such as solar-thermal, high-altitude wind and geothermal cheaper than coal " within years, not decades," according to Weihl.
D
In the meantime, the industry as a whole has employed a few tricks to save watts. Efforts include cutting down on the number of transformations the electricity itself must undergo before achieving the correct operating voltage; rearranging the stacks of servers and the mechanics of their cooling; and using software to create multiple "virtual" computers, rather than having to deploy several real ones. Such visualization has allowed computer maker Hewlett-Packard to consolidate 86 data centers spread throughout the world to just three, with three backups, says Pat Tiernan, the firm's vice president of social and environmental responsibility.
E
The industry is also tackling the energy issue at the computer-chip level. With every doubling of processing power in recent years has come a doubling in power consumption. But to save energy, chipmakers such as Intel and AMD have shifted to so-called multicore technology, which packs multiple processors into one circuit rather than separating them. "When we moved to multicore—away from a linear focus on megahertz and gigahertz—and throttled down microprocessors, the energy savings were pretty substantial," says A Hyson Klein, Intel's marketing manager for its Ecotech Initiative. Chipmakers continue to shrink circuits on the nanoscale as well, which "means a chip needs less electricity" to deliver the same performance, she adds.
F
With such chips, more personal computers will meet various efficiency standards, such as Energy Star compliance (which mandates that a desktop consume no more than 65 watts). The federal government, led by agencies such as NASA and the Department of Defense may soon require all their purchases to meet the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool standard. And Google, Intel and others have formed the Climate Savers Computing, Initiative, an effort to cut power consumption from all computers by 50 percent by 2010.
G
Sleep modes and other power management tools built into most operating systems tan offer savings today. Yet about 90 percent of computers do not have such settings enabled, according to Klein. Properly activated, they would prevent a computer from leading to the emission of thousands of kilograms of carbon dioxide from power plants every year. But if powering down or unplugging the computer (the only way it uses zero power) is not an option, then perhaps the most environmentally friendly use of all those wasted computing cycles is in helping to model climate change. The University of Oxford's C11matePrcdictioo.net offers an opportunity to at least predict the consequences of all that coal burning.
H
C02Stats is a free tool that can be embedded into any Web site to calculate the carbon dioxide emissions associated with using it. That estimate is based on an assumption of 300 watts of power consumed by the personal computer, network and server involved— or 16.5 milligrams of C02 emitted every second of use. "The typical carbon footprint is roughly equivalent to 1.5 people breathing," says physicist Alexander Wissner-Gross of Harvard University, who co-created the Web tool.
