雅思閱讀題源精讀技巧

在備考雅思閱讀的過程中，或是任意一項英語類測試，如果能夠主動的增加英語的曝光和輸入，是對于提高英語閱讀能力非常有幫助的一件事情。下面小編就和大家分享雅思閱讀題源精讀，希望能夠幫助到大家，一起來學習吧!

雅思閱讀題源精讀

今天克里老師專門挑選了和雅思閱讀考試篇章非常貼合的一篇文章，并且也是雅思閱讀選取文章重要來源之一的有名外刊--‘The Economist’，并且找到了其中一篇關于人工智能(artificial intelligence)的文章節(jié)選，來進行解析和學習。

接下來這段話，主要講了作者結合實際情況，表達了自己對AI的看法：

The thing to remember about the next decade is that current AI can't even read; it also can't reason.

(對于AI技術下一個十年的發(fā)展，我們可以確定的是，現(xiàn)階段的AI技術，依然還是不能夠進行有效的閱讀和推理)

Four years ago, machine-learning pioneer Geoffrey Hinton said that radiologists would lose their jobs in five or ten years; radiologists got really scared, a lot of people stopped studying radiology.

(四年前，人工智能行業(yè)內的先驅GH說過，放射科醫(yī)生會在五到十年內失去他們的工作，這使得很多從事相關領域的人感到擔憂，也導致很多人停止了對放射學的研究和學習)

So far? Not one radiologist has actually been replaced.

(但是到現(xiàn)在為止，沒有一個放射科醫(yī)生被人工智能所替代)

Radiology isn't just about looking at images

(因為放射學不僅僅只是關于看圖像這么簡單),

it's also about reading (patient histories) and reasoning (about how to put words and images together) and machines can't yet do that reliably.

(它還包括了閱讀和處理信息的能力，這主要體現(xiàn)在研究和了解研究病人的過往病史，以及如何利用推理能力將圖像信息成功的用文字表達出來，然而，現(xiàn)在的人工智能機器并不能有效地做到這個程度)

What we have now are our new tools that can help radiologists, not radiologists-in-a-box.

(所以，我們現(xiàn)在能看到的，是放射科醫(yī)生利用更多先進和新發(fā)明出來的儀器工具來輔助自己完成工作，而不是一個機器的人工智能醫(yī)生)

從這段話來看，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)了很多雅思閱讀中常見的一些考法：

首先，一詞多義

原文中使用了reason這個詞，它可以表達原因，指因果關系，也可以作動詞，表達推理的過程，可見一詞多義本來就是我們在閱讀中需要掌握的能力。雅思閱讀真題中，就會經常到考多義詞，比如說universal可以表達宇宙的，也可以指普遍的，通用的。

其次，高頻考點詞

考試中出現(xiàn)過的很多高頻考點詞，也在該段話中出現(xiàn)，比如說 replace，該詞的意思為替代，在閱讀的真題當中，曾經有考過多次關于這個詞的替換，比如說，something can’t be replaced, 被替換成了something is not a substitute。所以在學習的過程中，克里老師推薦大家，一定要去累積、總結以及掌握一些高頻的考點詞，了解考點詞在考試中的考法和規(guī)則，這樣做題的過程中可以更加的高效，也讓學習的過程更輕松。

雅思閱讀考試技巧：分類題

分類題(Categorizing)

§ 在分類題中，一般有三個類別(我們可以稱之為甲、乙、丙)以及一些項目，要求是將這些項目分別歸入這三個類別之中。在文章中，一般會講述兩種不同的事物，我們姑且稱它們?yōu)锳和B. 類別甲中歸入與A類事物有關的項目，類別乙中歸入與B類事物有關的項目，而類別丙中歸入與A和B都有關的項目。

§ 在文章中，作者會對A和B 兩類事物進行分別探討和互相比較，因此我們在閱讀時就必須注意作者在談論和比較A和B 的時候是否提到這些項目，并把這些項目歸入到適當?shù)念悇e中去。一般來說，作者會在不同的段落中講述A和B 兩類事物，不過有時A和B 會在同一段落中被提到，因為作者要把它們作一個詳細的比較。

T: Desktop publishing

3 The first stage in the old method of preparing INFO was the gathering together of all text, photographs and graphics which would make up the bulk of the magazine. The next step was marking the text for the printer---a rather laborious, and occasionally hit-and-miss affair! In essence, this meant judging the approximate length of the articles and choosing appropriate print sizes and styles (fonts). The appropriately marked pages were then sent to the printer for type-setting. The end-product of this type-setting phase is called a galley and takes the form of continuous columns on long sheets of paper.

4 At this stage the fun begins! All the columns of text have to be cut and manually pasted onto sheets of paper marked out in columns, to give the layout for each page of the magazine. If one had misjudged the length of text at the type-setting phase, then screams of agony would mingle the pervading smell of glue in the editorial offices as a very stressed editor wrangles bits of text and photographs. The flexibility of this old system was very limited, page layout was largely pre-determined and type-setting errors meant long and time-consuming proof-reading, both at the galley stage and at the final page proof stage. An additional problem with the old method is the length of time between the copy date (stage 1) and the publication of the magazine (about six weeks for INFO).

5 Desktop publishing made our life a lot easier. Now with our new system, we first type the text of the article on an ordinary word-processing package (MultiMate Advantage II is used but any other package is usable) or we ask our contributors to send us their article on a disk, typed with almost any word processor on an IBM or compatible PC computer. The second stage is to design the page frame, i.e. size, number of columns and margins. We then place the text in the page with an easy command called “Autoflow”.

6 The third stage is the design of the layout: placing illustrations and choosing the most suitable typeface. At the last stage, we print the articles on the laser printer and pass them on to colleagues to be proof-read. After making all corrections, the files containing our next INFO are copied on to a disk and sent to our printers for publication.

Q: Below are headings showing the sages involved in printing any document. According to the

information in the passage:

write T if the stage is necessary in traditional printing;

write D if the stage is necessary with desktop publishing;

write TD if the stage is necessary in both methods.

I1 gathering input

I2 designing page frame

I3 marking text

I4 type-setting

I5 page design

I6 cutting and pasting

I7 proof-reading

解題：這里選取的是文章的第三到第六段，其中三、四兩段談論traditional printing(T)，而五、六兩段探討desktop publishing(D)。在traditional printing中，首先是the gathering together of all text, photographs and graphics，其次是marking the text for theprinter，再其次then sent to the printer for type-setting，然后是have to be cut and manually pasted onto sheets of paper marked out in columns, to give the layout for each page of the magazine，最后是long and time-consuming proof-reading;而在desktop publishing中，首先是ask our contributors to send us their article on a disk，其次是design the page frame，然后是the design of the layout，最后we print the articles on the laser printer and pass them on to colleagues to be proof-read. 根據(jù)這些列出的兩種印刷方法的各個步驟，我們可以準確地將上述的項目進行歸類：I1 gathering input --- TD;I2 designing page frame --- D;I3 marking text --- T;I4 type-setting --- T;I5 page design --- TD;I6 cutting and pasting --- T;I7 proof-reading --- TD.

雅思閱讀考試技巧：問答題答題步驟

回答問題(short-answer question tasks)

回答問題是根據(jù)所給文章或圖表回答問題。在IELTS閱讀測試中通常是用下列單詞提問：. what、which、when、where、who、whose、whom、why、 how 等。除了利用上述單詞進行提問外，有時會在答題指引中將所提問題列出。

回答問題答題步驟：

1. 仔細查看答題指引，了解回答何種問題。

2. 查看例句，確定答題方式。

3. 要確定問句的種類，一般疑問句可按正常形式回答(例如：yes/no)，如果是選擇疑問句或者是以wh/how開頭的問句就一定要具體回答

4. 仔細理解問句所提問題。

5. 特別要注意問句中所提問題的關鍵詞語(例如：單數(shù)、復數(shù))，以及問句中表明數(shù)量、時間、地點的詞語。

6. 將問句中的關鍵詞語與文章中相關句子中的詞語進行匹配。

7. 確定問句與文章中相關句子含義是否一致，得出答案。
