雅思阅读精读：提升阅读成绩的不二法门（共8篇）由网友“湛天碧海”投稿提供，以下是小编帮大家整理后的雅思阅读精读：提升阅读成绩的不二法门，仅供参考，希望能够帮助到大家。
篇1：雅思阅读精读：提升阅读成绩的不二法门
雅思阅读精读：提升阅读成绩的不二法门
认真选择精读文章，只需10篇剑桥文章，你的成绩就可以在7.5以上。(前提是你不是流于形式，而是走心的)闲的蛋疼的学霸可以精读个30篇，8.5以上妥妥的。
我一直认为精读最大的目的在于四点：
生词+学科核心生词;每道题涉及解题的同义替换;长难句的不回读训练;段落中心句位置+文章构架的积累训练与开悟体验
雅思阅读精读1.生词+学科核心生词
学生公认精读来扫清阅读单词死角是再合适不过的了，尤其精读了几篇生物类文章，再答生物类全都认识了。
比如C7蚂蚁智能里面的forage/scout/bearing/odour等词，精读过少量生物类文章，再去做OG上的swarm之类的文章就非常easy了，通篇可以快速读懂，准确定位，正确率超高。
再如精读过C9的金星凌日，天文类词汇基底你就get到了，什么日食月食轨道运行太阳黑子与光斑，只要考试出了天文类，百分之75以上的基底词汇你都是认识的，答题就自如多了。
雅思阅读精读2.每道题涉及解题的同义替换
刚好写了个回答关于：雅思阅读每次大概定位准确了，但是精准的定位总是偏差一点，怎么破?!?
粗定位一个定位词，全文没准儿30多处，俗话说：两点定一线，你的关键词/定位词，至少要画两个以上还要全都找到。我一般建议学生“抓三点”“抓四点”“抓五点”，题配句，词换词，细定位就是要找至少两三个换的词。
说到底，同义替换词这个事情，还是要多多积累的，比积累词汇量在雅思阅读中，还要重要。
所以单词量达到瓶颈以后，要做的是背“同义替换词表”
雅思阅读精读3.长难句的不回读训练
忘了是哪个老师跟我说过：三行以上必出题。
N个学生的反馈都是：长难句读到后半句，前面就忘了度过了什么。OR 单词都认识，就是读文章速度太慢。
当年考GMAT看过一本《GMAT长难句练习》，里面提到了”打死我也不回读”这个方法，一直分享给学生，效果反馈很棒。里面说：
只要每天练习五个长难句不回读训练，看到大长句子，习惯性切割主谓宾，一周就会看到效果。本来想着不就是主谓宾嘛，结果练了十多天，读题速度有了飞跃性的提升。
长难句再也不是问题，看到就自动读主谓宾，这就可以轻松记住意思，读下面句子的时候，逻辑就形成了非常舒服的衔接。如果有题在句子中，再去精读也不迟。
雅思阅读精读4.段落中心句位置+文章构架的积累训练与开悟体验
LOH(List of Headings)和 段落信息配对，怎么做，主要靠精读的这个步骤。
LOH做多了，自然有了feel，首句中心句?末句中心句?转折中心句?这就不细说了，做多了就知道。
段落信息配对题，俗称断子绝孙题，因为无序且恶心，同义替换幅度较大，有时候需要通读全文。我却始终坚信“预测乃解决断子绝孙题的直通车”。只要精读了，你就会发现，原来文章各个部位都有暗示你过，那么下次如果你没读原文直接做MATCHING你要怎么“蒙题”，精读多了你就懂了……
BTW，精读之前，务必掐着时间做题，剑桥文章有限珍贵，不能上来直接精读，不要浪费掐时间的机会!
雅思阅读素材积累：Now you know
雅思阅读：Now you know
When should you teach children, and when should you let them explore?
IT IS one of the oldest debates in education. Should teachers tell pupils
the way things are or encourage them to find out for themselves? Telling
children “truths” about the world helps them learn those facts more quickly. Yet
the efficient learning of specific facts may lead to the assumption that when
the adult has finished teaching, there is nothing further to learn—because if
there were, the adult would have said so. A study just published in Cognition by
Elizabeth Bonawitz of the University of California, Berkeley, and Patrick Shafto
of the University of Louisville, in Kentucky, suggests that is true.
Dr Bonawitz and Dr Shafto arranged for 85 four- and five-year-olds to be
presented, during a visit to a museum, with a novel toy that looked like a
tangle of coloured pipes and was capable of doing many different things. They
wanted to know whether the way the children played with the toy depended on how
they were instructed by the adult who gave it to them.
One group of children had a strictly pedagogical introduction. The
experimenter said “Look at my toy! This is my toy. I'm going to show you how my
toy works.” She then pulled a yellow tube out of a purple tube, creating a
squeaking sound. Following this, she said, “Wow, see that? This is how my toy
works!” and then demonstrated the effect again.
With a second group of children, the experimenter acted differently. She
interrupted herself after demonstrating the squeak by saying she had to go and
write something down, thus suggesting that she might not have finished the
demonstration. With a third group, she activated the squeak as if by accident.
To a fourth, the toy was simply presented with the comment, “Wow, see this toy?
Look at this!”
After these varied introductions, the children were left with the toy and
allowed to play. They might discover that, as well as the squeaker, the toy had
a button inside one tube which activated a light, a keypad that played musical
notes, and an inverting mirror inside one of the tubes. All the children were
told to let the experimenter know when they had finished playing and were asked
by the instructor if they were done if they stopped playing for more than five
consecutive seconds. The entire interaction was recorded on video.
Footage of each child playing was passed to a research assistant who was
ignorant of the purpose of the study. The assistant was asked to record the
total playing time, the number of different actions the child performed, the
time spent playing with the squeak, and the number of other functions the child
discovered.
The upshot was that children in the first group spent less time playing
(119 seconds) than those in the second (180 seconds), the third (133 seconds) or
the fourth (206 seconds). Those in the first group also tried out four different
actions, on average. The others tried 5.3, 5.9 and 6.2, respectively. A similar
pattern (0.7, 1.3, 1.2 and 1.2) pertained to the number of functions other than
the squeak that the children found.
The researchers' conclusion was that, in the context of strange toys of
unknown function, prior explanation does, indeed, inhibit exploration and
discovery. Generalising from that would be ambitious. But it suggests that
further research might be quite a good idea
雅思阅读素材积累：Whose lost decade?
Japan's economy works better than pessimists think—at least for the
elderly.
THE Japanese say they suffer from an economic disease called “structural
pessimism”. Overseas too, there is a tendency to see Japan as a harbinger of all
that is doomed in the economies of the euro zone and America—even though figures
released on November 14th show its economy grew by an annualised 6% in the third
quarter, rebounding quickly from the March tsunami and nuclear disaster.
Look dispassionately at Japan's economic performance over the past ten
years, though, and “the second lost decade”, if not the first, is a misnomer.
Much of what tarnishes Japan's image is the result of demography—more than half
its population is over 45—as well as its poor policy in dealing with it. Even
so, most Japanese have grown richer over the decade.
In aggregate, Japan's economy grew at half the pace of America's between
and . Yet if judged by growth in GDP per person over the same period,
then Japan has outperformed America and the euro zone (see chart 1). In part
this is because its population has shrunk whereas America's population has
increased.
Though growth in labour productivity fell slightly short of America's from
to , total factor productivity, a measure of how a country uses capital
and labour, grew faster, according to the Tokyo-based Asian Productivity
Organisation. Japan's unemployment rate is higher than in 2000, yet it remains
about half the level of America and Europe (see chart 2).
Besides supposed stagnation, the two other curses of the Japanese economy
are debt and deflation. Yet these also partly reflect demography and can be
overstated. People often think of Japan as an indebted country. In fact, it is
the world's biggest creditor nation, boasting ￥253 trillion ($3.3 trillion) in
net foreign assets.
To be sure, its government is a large debtor; its net debt as a share of
GDP is one of the highest in the OECD. However, the public debt has been accrued
not primarily through wasteful spending or “bridges to nowhere”, but because of
ageing, says the IMF. Social-security expenditure doubled as a share of GDP
between 1990 and 2010 to pay rising pensions and health-care costs. Over the
same period tax revenues have shrunk.
Falling tax revenues are a problem. The flip side, though, is that Japan
has the lowest tax take of any country in the OECD, at just 17% of GDP. That
gives it plenty of room to manoeuvre. Takatoshi Ito, an economist at the
University of Tokyo, says increasing the consumption tax by 20 percentage points
from its current 5%—putting it at the level of a high-tax European country—would
raise ￥50 trillion and immediately wipe out Japan's fiscal deficit.
That sounds draconian. But here again, demography plays a role. Officials
say the elderly resist higher taxes or benefit cuts, and the young, who are in a
minority, do not have the political power to push for what is in their long-term
interest. David Weinstein, professor of Japanese economy at Columbia University
in New York, says the elderly would rather give money to their children than pay
it in taxes. Ultimately that may mean that benefits may shrink in the future.
“If you want benefits to grow in line with income, as they are now, you need a
massive increase in taxes of about 10% of GDP,” he says.
Demography helps explain Japan's stubborn deflation, too, he says. After
all, falling prices give savers—most of whom are elderly—positive real yields
even when nominal interest rates are close to zero. Up until now, holding
government bonds has been a good bet. Domestic savers remain willing to roll
them over, which enables the government to fund its deficits. Yet this comes at
a cost to the rest of the economy.
In short, Japan's economy works better for those middle-aged and older than
it does for the young. But it is not yet in crisis, and economists say there is
plenty it could do to raise its potential growth rate, as well as to lower its
debt burden.
Last weekend Yoshihiko Noda, the prime minister, took a brave shot at
promoting reform when he said Japan planned to start consultations towards
joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership. This is an American-backed free-trade
zone that could lead to a lowering of tariffs on a huge swath of goods and
services. Predictably it is elderly farmers, doctors and small businessmen who
are most against it.
Reforms to other areas, such as the tax and benefit system, might be easier
if the government could tell the Japanese a different story: not that their
economy is mired in stagnation, but that its performance reflects the ups and
downs of an ageing society, and that the old as well as the young need to make
sacrifices.
The trouble is that the downbeat narrative is deeply ingrained. The current
crop of leading Japanese politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen are themselves
well past middle age. Many think they have sacrificed enough since the glory
days of the 1980s, when Japan's economy seemed unstoppable. Mr Weinstein says
they suffer from “diminished-giant syndrome”, nervously watching the economic
rise of China. If they compared themselves instead with America and Europe, they
might feel heartened enough to make some of the tough choices needed.
篇2：如何通过精读提升雅思阅读能力
如何通过精读提升雅思阅读能力
在课堂教学中，常有学生问到这样一个问题：“老师，雅思阅读的文章到底要不要精读?毕竟我在正式考试的时候只有一个小时啊!”回答这个问题时，我们需要理清楚两件事：一是正式考试过程中，是没必要也没时间做到全篇精读所有文章的;二是在考前复习时，精读是我们提升整体阅读能力，以及最终取得理想分数的重要方法。提起雅思阅读，不少学生都觉得，只有六十分钟的时间，做完题目都很紧张，哪儿还有时间去仔细推敲理解?因此他们认为雅思阅读文章完全没必要做精读，反正也考不到原文原题。然而实际上我们平时给学生的练习基本来源于剑桥雅思官方出的真题集，其文章难度、词汇量、出题方式等，都跟考场上的真题几乎完全一致，只要真正掌握好真题集上练习的“套路”，吃透考试的考查点，想要取得高分就绝非难事。
那么又有学生要说了：“那好吧，我会去好好精读的。不过把全文都翻译一遍真的好累啊!”不知是什么原因，不少学生都认为精读文章等于翻译全文，对于到底如何进行精读，哪些问题需要通过精读解决，通过精读能在哪些方面获得提高却并不清楚。接下来，朗阁海外考试研究中心的老师将尝试结合课堂教学经验，探讨一下究竟如何通过精读来提升雅思阅读能力。
首先，精读安排在什么时候比较合适?剑桥雅思真题集是非常宝贵的备考材料，学生最好是在限时完成题目之后，再进行精读作为回顾复习。正如上文提到的那样，真正的考试是有时间限制的，而精读是备考过程中的一个方法，并不适用于实战，所以也不建议学生第一次遇到新文章就做精读。最佳方法是掐着时间迅速完成题目，发现自己在解题中遇到哪些问题，然后再通过精读进行整理和改正。
另外，精读一定要以雅思考试的重点和学生遇到的问题为核心。雅思阅读的考查点，无非就是信息查找和同义替换。阅读考试虽然题型众多，但重点非常明确。所以在备考过程中，指导学生进行精读也要以考试的重点为重点——整理各道考题在文章中的对应原句和各题涉及的同义替换(包括词性转换、同义词替换、句式转换等)。另外，学生在阅读雅思文章的过程中，遇到的问题主要有两类是可以通过精读解决的，一是单词不认识，二是句子读不懂。那么在备考时，学生进行的精读练习也要把这两点作为重点——整理文章中和题目中不熟悉的词和理解有困难的句子。最后，对于本身阅读能力就不错的学生，如果前两类的整理对他们来讲几乎没有难度，那么就可以尝试梳理文章结构和逻辑，从而以更宏观的角度进行理解，也为自己以后在英语写作方面积累素材。
下面，就以剑11Test4 Passage3 “This Marvellous Invention”为例，具体示范一下如何进行精读。
本文标题中的marvellous invention指的是语言这个神奇的发明，文章内容比较抽象，课堂练习中也有不少学生感到理解困难。涉及的题型有段落标题(List of headings)、选词填空(Summary)和是非无判断(YES/NO/NOT GIVEN)。学生应先用十八分钟左右完成这些题目，然后在接下来的精读中，学生需要整理的包括：
一、各道题目在原文中对应的同义替换方式;
二、不熟悉的词汇短语以及话题类型词汇;
三、阅读中理解有障碍的句子，尤其是复杂长句;
四、文章的大意和组织架构。
一、各道题目在原文中对应的同义替换方式
这是整个精读步骤中的重中之重。以第二大题选词类摘要填空为例，虽然这道大题在实战中可以建议基础尚可的学生直接跳过原文来做——这样实际上更加高效，但我们完成题目后仍然要整理其中的同义替换内容。
33、34题：The wheel is one invention that has a major impact on ______ aspects of life, but no impact has been as _____ as that of language.
答案为E. material和G. fundamental。
根据wheel定位回到原文可以找到A段开头部分：Of all mankind’s manifold creations, language must take pride of place. Other inventions -the wheel, agriculture, sliced bread - may have transformed our material existence, but the advent of language is what made us human. Compared to language, all other inventions pale in significance, since everything we have ever achieved depends on language and originates from it.
因此，33题这里life和existence形成同义替换，material原词重现;34题定位稍难，compared to和as...as...都表示比较关系，everything...depends on language and originates from it表示fundamental。
二、不熟悉的词汇短语以及话题类型词汇
三、阅读中理解有障碍的句子，尤其是复杂长句
这两个步骤可以合并进行，一边整理词汇一边梳理句子。以文章B段部分为例：
But language is foremost not just because it came first. In its own right it is a tool ofextraordinary sophistication, yet based on an idea of ingenious simplicity:“this marvellous invention of composing out of twenty-five or thirty sounds that infinite variety of expressions which, whilst having in themselves no likeness to what is in our mind, allow us to disclose to others its whole secret, and to make known to those who cannot penetrate it all that we imagine, and all the various stirrings of our soul”. This was how, in 1660, the renowned French grammarians of the Port-Royal abbey near Versailles distilledthe essence of language, and no one since has celebratedmore eloquently the magnitude of its achievement.
这些句子乍看十分复杂，甚至佶屈聱牙。先查词汇，例如：
foremost 最重要的(联想其他表示重要的词，如vital, paramount, crucial…)
sophistication 精密，复杂(和simplicity是反义词)
celebrate 在这里表示赞美、赞颂(常用义为庆祝)
distill 提炼，提取精华
eloquently 雄辩地，传神地
magnitude 重大，重要性(同义词：significance, weight, gravity…)
再看句子。第二句话中in its own right表示凭借自身的资格或努力，冒号前面的部分就是句子的主干——揭示了语言看似不能兼容的两个特性：本身十分精密复杂，但从理念上看却十分简洁明了;引号里的部分其实都是在进一步解释说明，修饰部分极为繁复，this marvellous invention of其后的成分其实都是在层层修饰这是一个怎样神奇的发明，首先是composing out of twenty-five or thirty sounds that infinite variety of expressions, 即由twenty-five or thirty sounds能够compose出来that infinite variety of expressions; 接下来是which后面的部分，修饰前面的expressions, 说明这些expressions有什么用，句型是… allow us to…and to…, 这样本句就不难理解了。
四、文章的大意和组织架构
最后，如果学生们还学有余力，那么可以仔细研究一下文章的结构，这样解答阅读中的段落标题和段落信息匹配题型的时候就能有更好的理解。比如本文第一段总体介绍语言是一项最伟大的发明，接下来一一说明，B段开始引用语言学家的观点说明语言既复杂又简洁，C段具体介绍简单而无意义的语音如何组合成语言，从而表达出千万种意义，D段从另一个角度，说明语言虽然复杂但是又简单到人人都能自如运用。最后两段说到通过外语来感受到语言的精妙之处，E段说到一个词可以表达一句话的意思，F段则说到连语言中不发音的现象都能表达意义。

Fish Communication
Can fish “talk?” And if they do, can other fish hear what they are saying?
The answer to both questions is yes, but fish “talk” and “hear” somewhat differently than humans. Although not extremely common, there are several species of fish that are able to produce sound to communicate with members of their own and other species. Most of the fish that produce sound do it at such low frequencies that divers cannot hear the noises. But several species do produce sound in the range that humans can hear. For example, grunts are able to produce sound by grinding their flat teeth together (hence the name grant!) The large Jewfish, Nassau and Black groupers are known to make very loud “booms” when startled or cornered. Jewfish have also been observed to make these loud sounds during courtship.

篇3：雅思阅读的精读训练
雅思阅读的精读训练真的没有效果么?
怎么读才是精读?
精读意味着仔细读，认真读，读到骨头里，不要只查查词，看看句子意思。如果是这样, 这还没达到精读的深度。
举个例子 513
For many environmentalists, the world seems to be getting worse. They have developed a hit-list of our main fears: that natural resources are running out; that the population is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat; that species are becoming extinct in vast numbers, and that the planet's air and water are becoming ever more polluted.
精读的步骤
第一步 从词汇(单词, 短语)入手：把句子里的单词(主要是动词，形容词，副词)这三类词达到认知程度, 拓展同义词,派生词等，因为根据雅思阅读考点的出现频率看，这三类词最容易被替换。如果时间允许，再看看名词里的抽象名词，物质名词采取猜词技巧可以解决。 例如以上的句子：
动词：
run out(拓展 exhaust/use up, 例如832 );
grow(拓展growth/increase/progress….例如441);
leave(拓展不仅表示“留下来，离开的意思，还可以表示使处于某种状态, 例如721);
eat(拓展 feed, 例如412);
extinct(拓展extinction/die out 例如513);
pollute(拓展 pollution/pollutant 例如532);
形容词和副词：worse; main; natural; less; vast;
名词：environmentalist; fear; resource; population; species; planet;
第二步 从语法结构入手：分清句子的主谓宾或主系表;如果是复合句或长难句，拆分成简单句;例如: They have developed a hit-list of our main fears: that …..; that ……..; that…….., and that ……….. 此句后面的冒号是解释说明,后面有四个小分句;
第三步 从段落结构入手: 分析段落内的连贯和衔接关系,并分析段落中的句子是如何衔接的. 例如: 以上的段落是总分结构 总: For many environmentalists, the world seems to be getting worse. 分: They have developed a hit-list of our main fears: that …; that …..; that .,…., and that …..
第四步 试着用不同的单词，不同的语法结构进行改写(paraphrase)，这个步骤称为“二度创作” 。刚开始训练时比较痛苦，因为在脑海中要搜寻学过的东西加以整理，这本身就是一个需要思考的过程。等训练多了形成自己的思维体系及语言表达能力后，输出改写就会得心应手了。例如上一段的改写
A number of environmentalists hold a pessimistic view of the earth. They have developed a hit-list of our main fears: that natural resources are exhausted; that the number of people is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat; that a vast number of species are dying out, and that air and water are polluted more seriously.
(2)RE精读策略
re是前缀, 意思是重复. RE精读策略意味着反复精读. 根据人类大脑记忆规律, 刚刚记完的知识记住了100%, 过了20分之后剩下58.2%................我们要进行二次精读, 三次精读…….. 直到读透为止. 古人云: “温故而知新”, 读第一遍和读第二遍对文章的理解是不同的, 读第一遍时,有的学生可能只记得个别单词,短语等; 读第二遍可能对句子之间的关系, 段落结构, 篇章结构就有了更深层次的理解.
(3)“瞻前顾后”的学习方法
我们尽量利用”瞻前顾后”的方法把当前学到的单词,短语等与之前精读文章里的单词短语等联系起来, 达到融会贯通, 触类旁通. 学习是输入和输出并行的过程, 输入就是学习者由外到内获取语言知识，精读就是很好的输入方式;输出就是学习者将所学的知识由内而外的再现过程。精读这个过程是输入, 输入后要消化, 吸收, 然后输出，这样才是个完整的学习过程. 如果只有输入, 没有输出, 会影响学习效果.

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 s, 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. Choose the appropriate letter from A-D for question 1.
1. Corot is an instrument which
(A) can help to search for certain planets
(B) is used to find planets in the orbit
(C) can locate planets with human beings
(D) can spot any planets with water.
Do the following statements agree with the information given in the reading passage? For questions 2-5 write
TRUE if the statement agrees with the information
FALSE if the statement contraicts the information
NOT GIVEN if there is no information on this in the passage
2. Scientists are trying to find out about the planets that can be inhabited.
3. BBC Radio 4 recently focuses on the broadcasting of Corot.
4. Passing objects might cause a fall in light.
5. Corot can tell whether there is another Earth-like planet.
雅思考试阅读模拟试题及答案解析
1. British scientists are preparing to launch trials of a radical new way to fight cancer, which kills tumours by infecting them with viruses like the common cold.
2. If successful, virus therapy could eventually form a third pillar alongside radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the standard arsenal against cancer, while avoiding some of the debilitating side-effects.
3. Leonard Seymour, a professor of gene therapy at Oxford University, who has been working on the virus therapy with colleagues in London and the US, will lead the trials later this year. Cancer Research UK said yesterday that it was excited by the potential of Prof Seymour's pioneering techniques.
4. One of the country's leading geneticists, Prof Seymour has been working with viruses that kill cancer cells directly, while avoiding harm to healthy tissue. “In principle, you've got something which could be many times more effective than regular chemotherapy,” he said.
5. Cancer-killing viruses exploit the fact that cancer cells suppress the body's local immune system. “If a cancer doesn't do that, the immune system wipes it out. If you can get a virus into a tumour, viruses find them a very good place to be because there's no immune system to stop them replicating. You can regard it as the cancer's Achilles' heel.”
6. Only a small amount of the virus needs to get to the cancer. “They replicate, you get a million copies in each cell and the cell bursts and they infect the tumour cells adjacent and repeat the process,” said Prof Seymour.
7. Preliminary research on mice shows that the viruses work well on tumours resistant to standard cancer drugs. “It's an interesting possibility that they may have an advantage in killing drug-resistant tumours, which could be quite different to anything we've had before.”
8. Researchers have known for some time that viruses can kill tumour cells and some aspects of the work have already been published in scientific journals. American scientists have previously injected viruses directly into tumours but this technique will not work if the cancer is inaccessible or has spread throughout the body.
9. Prof Seymour's innovative solution is to mask the virus from the body's immune system, effectively allowing the viruses to do what chemotherapy drugs do - spread through the blood and reach tumours wherever they are. The big hurdle has always been to find a way to deliver viruses to tumours via the bloodstream without the body's immune system destroying them on the way.
10. “What we've done is make chemical modifications to the virus to put a polymer coat around it - it's a stealth virus when you inject it,” he said.
11. After the stealth virus infects the tumour, it replicates, but the copies do not have the chemical modifications. If they escape from the tumour, the copies will be quickly recognised and mopped up by the body's immune system.
12. The therapy would be especially useful for secondary cancers, called metastases, which sometimes spread around the body after the first tumour appears. “There's an awful statistic of patients in the west ... with malignant cancers; 75% of them go on to die from metastases,” said Prof Seymour.
13. Two viruses are likely to be examined in the first clinical trials: adenovirus, which normally causes a cold-like illness, and vaccinia, which causes cowpox and is also used in the vaccine against smallpox. For safety reasons, both will be disabled to make them less pathogenic in the trial, but Prof Seymour said he eventually hopes to use natural viruses.
14. The first trials will use uncoated adenovirus and vaccinia and will be delivered locally to liver tumours, in order to establish whether the treatment is safe in humans and what dose of virus will be needed. Several more years of trials will be needed, eventually also on the polymer-coated viruses, before the therapy can be considered for use in the NHS. Though the approach will be examined at first for cancers that do not respond to conventional treatments, Prof Seymour hopes that one day it might be applied to all cancers.
Questions 1-6 Do the following statements agree with the information given in the reading passage? For questions 1-6 write
TRUE if the statement agrees with the information
FALSE if the statement contradicts the information
NOT GIVEN if there is no information on this in the passage
1.Virus therapy, if successful, has an advantage in eliminating side-effects.
2.Cancer Research UK is quite hopeful about Professor Seymour’s work on the virus therapy.
3.Virus can kill cancer cells and stop them from growing again.
4.Cancer’s Achilles’ heel refers to the fact that virus may stay safely in a tumor and replicate.
5.To infect the cancer cells, a good deal of viruses should be injected into the tumor.
6.Researches on animals indicate that virus could be used as a new way to treat drug-resistant tumors.
Question 7-9 Based on the reading passage, choose the appropriate letter from A-D for each answer.
7.Information about researches on viruses killing tumor cells can be found
(A) on TV
(B) in magazines
(C) on internet
(D) in newspapers
8.To treat tumors spreading out in body, researchers try to
(A) change the body’ immune system
(B) inject chemotherapy drugs into bloodstream.
(C) increase the amount of injection
(D) disguise the viruses on the way to tumors.
9.When the chemical modified virus in tumor replicates, the copies
(A) will soon escape from the tumor and spread out.
(B) will be wiped out by the body’s immune system.
(C) will be immediately recognized by the researchers.

篇4：雅思阅读精读别样解读
雅思阅读精读别样解读 多精才算精?
雅思考试任一科目拿高分都绝非易事，靠的不只是答题技巧，更需要有扎实的基础。对于雅思阅读来说，剑4-12刷2篇也不能保证你拿高分，但是如果在刷题之外，再认认真真精读10-20篇阅读文章则高分则十拿九稳。
首先怎么界定你的阅读是否够“精“呢?一个简单的衡量标准就是，你学得越累，学习的效果就越好。很扎心吧，但是这个衡量方式很有道理。你学得累，证明你调动的认知资源更多，花费的精力更多，专注度更高，因此学习效果自然更好。比如一篇文章，浮光掠影的大致泛读与逐句翻译相比，当然是翻译在时间精力上的花费更大。
泛读的时候很多宝宝感觉已经读懂了文章大致，但是在逐句分析、精读、甚至背诵的时候，你就会发现词汇的用法，句子成分的分析，甚至是上下文背景的交代等细节，你还存在大量无法全面理解的知识点。这也体现出了精读的重要性。
精读的方向主要有两个，第一个是reading for learning，也就是说通过精读而让你的英语变得更好，这也是大多数宝宝在学英语中经历的环节。第二个方向是learning for reading, 也就是学习如何进行阅读，更多的是学习一些阅读方式以及技巧。这两种最常见的阅读方向分别如何进行精读呢?
雅思阅读精读方法之reading for learning
先说大家最熟悉的环节。雅思阅读的精读步骤是什么?首先，严格按照考试要求和时间把题目做完。也就是说，你可以20分钟做完一篇文章的题目，也可以用1小时把三篇题目一气呵成。做完之后当然要对一对答案，把错误标注出来。
第二步，开始对文本进行研读。研读过程中完成两件事：第一，整理文章出现的核心词汇与话题词汇(尤其是你经常见到但是还不认识的);第二，对照中文翻译文本进行逐句研读。方法是：先看一遍英文，脑子里过一下这句英文该怎么翻译;然后去看正确的中文翻译，检视一下你的翻译与正确翻译有多大出处;最后再看一遍英文原句，理顺一下句子成分。当你完成整篇文章的逐句研读后，你对文章的细节理解应该已经非常透彻了。当然如果你还有余力，你可以分析一下句间关系和段间关系，句子之间与段落之间的衔接方法。
第三步，分析题目。当你完整把握了全文细节以及结构之后，在仔细研究每道题的出处考点以及设问方式。当然你也可以借助很多雅思参考书中的提干解析。
第四步，也是最重要的一个步骤，英译汉逐句翻译。在文章中挑选3-5段你认为理解困难度最高的段落进行“落笔逐句翻译”。不管你是写在纸上还是打在word里，这个环节都一定不能省略。你会发现，即使你已经对着翻译文本逐句进行精读了，你在逐词落笔翻译中依然会对这句话的用词、句式、成分以及整个段落构成有新的认识。
第五步，不是必须要求，但是却能够快速拔升你的阅读乃至整个英语能力：背诵段落。选取你落笔翻译过的难段进行背诵，注意背诵的目的不是为了把他们用在写作或者口语考试里，否则难度太大，也会显得很突兀。背诵过程最重要培养的是你的英语思维能力。
以上就是reading for learning精读方式的5大步骤，总结起来就是做题目对答案——对照译文逐句精读——分析题目与答案——选段落笔翻译——选段背诵。
雅思阅读精读方法之learning for reading
learning for reading方向的精读方法，更加针对于阅读能力的集中提升，而非整个的语言能力。方法很简单。首先拿到一篇文章，先看它的题目，然后来个prediction，自己分析行文中可能会包括哪些内容。
举个栗子，一篇名为Jonsson’s dictionary 的文章，你尽量全面的猜测文章中会涉及到哪些内容。比如对Jonsson这个人的介绍，背景、学历、身份等，对dictionary的介绍，比如什么时候出版的，有什么特点，作者是谁，等等。
罗列出你的预测内容点之后再阅读文章，同时判断你的预测哪些在文中提到了，哪些是not given。所有你预测成功的内容，试着做一下段落matching，也就是说这些预测内容分别出现在文中的哪几段。最后有余力的宝宝们可以试试自己做一个summary，进行一下句子的改写。怎么改写?直接看学姐发给大家的雅思同义替换词学学套路。
大家发现了吗，这一系列的流程结束后，雅思阅读中的高频题型能力你都得到了提升。这也就是所谓的learning for reading。
精读也许很耗时，但是效果却很显著。学姐强烈建议备考的宝宝用心试一个月，你会看到很明显的阅读能力的提升。还等什么，动起来!
家带来的《雅思阅读精读别样解读 多精才算精?》的全部内容。想让自己的复习过程高效科学，让自己的考试从容优雅，答题速度快成闪电，正确率高过喜马拉雅，请持续关注小站雅思频道。祝与雅思一战即分道扬镳。
雅思阅读素材积累：Game lessons
It sounds like a cop-out, but the future of schooling may lie with video games
SINCE the beginning of mass education, schools have relied on what is known in educational circles as ”chalk and talk“. Chalk and blackboard may sometimes be replaced by felt-tip pens and a whiteboard, and electronics in the form of computers may sometimes be bolted on, but the idea of a pedagogue leading his pupils more or less willingly through a day based on periods of study of recognisable academic disciplines, such as mathematics, physics, history, geography and whatever the local language happens to be, has rarely been abandoned.
Abandoning it, though, is what Katie Salen hopes to do. Ms Salen is a games designer and a professor of design and technology at Parsons The New School for Design, in New York. She is also the moving spirit behind Quest to Learn, a new, taxpayer-funded school in that city which is about to open its doors to pupils who will never suffer the indignity of snoring through double French but will, rather, spend their entire days playing games.
Quest to Learn draws on many roots. One is the research of James Gee of the University of Wisconsin. In Dr Gee published a book called ”What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy“, in which he argued that playing such games helps people develop a sense of identity, grasp meaning, learn to follow commands and even pick role models. Another is the MacArthur Foundation's digital media and learning initiative, which began in and which has acted as a test-bed for some of Ms Salen's ideas about educational-games design. A third is the success of the Bank Street School for Children, an independent primary school in New York that practises what its parent, the nearby Bank Street College of Education, preaches in the way of interdisciplinary teaching methods and the encouragement of pupil collaboration.
Ms Salen is, in effect, seeking to mechanise Bank Street's methods by transferring much of the pedagogic effort from the teachers themselves (who will now act in an advisory role) to a set of video games that she and her colleagues have devised. Instead of chalk and talk, children learn by doing—and do so in a way that tears up the usual subject-based curriculum altogether.
Periods of maths, science, history and so on are no more. Quest to Learn's school day will, rather, be divided into four 90-minute blocks devoted to the study of ”domains“. Such domains include Codeworlds (a combination of mathematics and English), Being, Space and Place (English and social studies), The Way Things Work (maths and science) and Sports for the Mind (game design and digital literacy). Each domain concludes with a two-week examination called a ”Boss Level“—a common phrase in video-game parlance.
Freeing the helots
In one of the units of Being, Space and Place, for example, pupils take on the role of an ancient Spartan who has to assess Athenian strengths and recommend a course of action. In doing so, they learn bits of history, geography and public policy. In a unit of The Way Things Work, they try to inhabit the minds of scientists devising a pathway for a beam of light to reach a target. This lesson touches on maths, optics—and, the organisers hope, creative thinking and teamwork. Another Way-Things-Work unit asks pupils to imagine they are pyramid-builders in ancient Egypt. This means learning about maths and engineering, and something about the country's religion and geography.
Whether things will work the way Ms Salen hopes will, itself, take a few years to find out. The school plans to admit pupils at the age of 12 and keep them until they are 18, so the first batch will not leave until . If it fails, traditionalists will no doubt scoff at the idea that teaching through playing games was ever seriously entertained. If it succeeds, though, it will provide a model that could make chalk and talk redundant. And it will have shown that in education, as in other fields of activity, it is not enough just to apply new technologies to existing processes—for maximum effect you have to apply them in new and imaginative ways.
雅思阅读素材积累：The screw tightens
ONE can almost hear the gates clanging: one after the other the sources of funding for Europe's banks are being shut. It is a result of the highly visible run on Europe's government bond markets, which today reached the heart of the euro zone: an auction of new German bonds failed to generate enough demand for the full amount, causing a drop in bond prices (and prompting the Bundesbank to buy 39% of the bonds offered, according to Reuters).
Now another run—more hidden, but potentially more dangerous—is taking place: on the continents' banks. People are not yet queuing up in front of bank branches (except in Latvia's capital Riga where savers today were trying to withdraw money from Krajbanka, a mid-sized bank, pictured). But billions of euros are flooding out of Europe's banking system through bond and money markets.
At best, the result may be a credit crunch that leaves businesses unable to get loans and invest. At worst, some banks may fail—and trigger real bank runs in countries whose shaky public finances have left them ill equipped to prop up their financial institutions.
To make loans, banks need funding. For this, they mainly tap into three sources: long-term bonds, deposits from consumers, and short-term loans from money markets as well as other banks. Bond issues and short-term funding have been seizing up as the panic over government bonds has spread to banks (which themselves are large holders of government bonds). This blockage has been made worse by tighter capital regulations that are encouraging banks to cut lending (instead of raising capital).
Markets for bank bonds were the first to freeze. In the third quarter bonds issues by European banks only reached 15% of the amount they raised over the same period in the past two years, reckon analysts at Citi Group. It is unlikely that European banks have sold many more bonds since.
Short-term funding markets were next to dry up. Hardest hit were European banks that need dollars to finance world trade (more than one third of which is funded by European banks, according to Barclays). American money market funds, in particular, have pulled back from Europe. Loans to French banks have plunged 69% since the end of May and nearly 20% over the past month alone, according to Fitch, a ratings agency. Over the past six months, it reckons, American money market funds have pulled 42% of their money out of European banks. European money market funds, too, continue to reduce their exposure to France, Italy and Spain, according to the latest numbers from Fitch.
Interbank markets, in which banks lend to one another, are now also showing signs of severe strain. Banks based in London are paying the highest rate on three month loans since (compared with a risk-free rate). Banks are also depositing cash with the ECB for a paltry, but risk-free rate instead of making loans.
That leaves retail and commercial deposits, and even these may have begun to slip away. ”We are starting to witness signs that corporates are withdrawing deposits from banks in Spain, Italy, France and Belgium,“ an anlayst at Citi Group wrote in a recent report. ”This is a worrying development.“
With funding ever harder to come by, banks are resorting to the financial industry's equivalent of a pawn broker: parking assets on repo markets or at the central bank to get cash. ”We have no alternative to deposits and the ECB,“ says a senior executive at one European bank.
So far the liquidity of the European Central Bank (ECB) has kept the system alive. Only one large European bank, Dexia, has collapsed because of a funding shortage. Yet what happens if banks run out of collateral to borrow against? Some already seem to scrape the barrel. The boss of UniCredit, an Italian bank, has reportedly asked the ECB to accept a broader range of collateral. And an increasing number of banks are said to conduct what is known as ”liquidity swaps“: banks borrow an asset that the ECB accepts as collateral from an insurer or a hedge fund in return for an ineligible asset—plus, of course, a hefty fee.
The risk of all this is two-fold. For one, banks could stop supplying credit. To some extent, this is already happening. Earlier this week Austria's central bank instructed the country's banks to limit cross-border lending. And some European banks are not just selling foreign assets to meet capital requirements, but have withdrawn entirely from some markets, such as trade finance and aircraft leasing.
Secondly and more dangerously, as banks are pushed ever closer to their funding limits, one or more may fail—sparking a wider panic. Most bankers think that the ECB would not allow a large bank to fail. But the collapse of Dexia in October after it ran out of cash suggests that the ECB may not provide unlimited liquidity. The falling domino could also be a ”shadow“ bank that cannot borrow from the ECB.
Europe's leaders are certainly aware of the dangers—and are working on solutions. But it would not be the first time that their efforts are overtaken by events.
篇5：如何提升雅思阅读速度
如何提升雅思阅读速度
雅思阅读提升之：速读训练
首先考生们要明确，雅思阅读考察的是一个考生的阅读理解能力，更是考察关键信息的获取能力。考生未必要读完全部内容才开始做题，能够在短时间内消化文章的关键信息才是雅思阅读的目的。
考生们还是要培养速度能力，比如关键信息一般出现在文章开头，段落的首句或末尾。甚至部分关键信息出现在转折语段。这些基本的获取关键信息技巧能够争取足够多的时间了。
雅思阅读提升之：各题型技巧
当然速读并不能解决全部问题，在遇到不同的阅读题型时，考生也应该注意各类题型的解题方法。
比如主旨题(List of Headings)：主要考察的是考生的概括能力，那么速读对主旨定位的帮助很大。
而遇到一些考察细节的题目：判断题T/F/NG、信息匹配题Matching、选择题Multiple Choice等。则需要考生能够迅速定位题目与原文中的关键词了。
定位关键词信息注意点：同义替换。
除了部分专有名词无法替换之外，雅思阅读处处可见同义替换，对考生来说，定位关键信息就变得很困难。同义替换的方式太多，同义词、近义词、短语，甚至句型转换都有可能进行替换。
雅思阅读提升之：做好词汇积累
最后来说雅思阅读词汇积累，雅思阅读文章有很多学术词汇，这类专业词汇并不会影响考生们做题，适当进行拓展阅读即可了解到，不必过分追求这些词汇。
学术类文章涉及多个学科，很多考生专业知识并不丰富，但总体来说，雅思阅读的文章偏科普，并没有达到学术专业文章的难度，基本上就是大学基础课程的阅读内容的难度。
而考生们需要积累的词汇是阅读高频词汇，尤其是同义词、短语的积累。那这些词汇来源于哪呢?建议考生可以参考剑雅真题阅读系列文章，根据考生自己的词汇量，总结文章中的生词。如果考生有精力，可以再拓展部分外文期刊杂志中的一些阅读词汇。
雅思阅读材料：北京推出雾霾险可以放心出游
Travellers to China worried that their view of the Great Wall will be obscured by Beijing’s pollution can rest easy with a “smog insurance” product being introduced this week.
前往中国的游客如果担心长城风景可能受到北京污染的影响，那么本周推出的“雾霾险”产品有望让他们安心。
“Smog insurance” is the latest response to choking air pollution in China and follows efforts that include closing industrial plants and do-it-yourself air filter specialists dispensing advice online.
“雾霾险”是对中国令人不敢呼吸的空气污染的最新回应，之前的努力包括政府勒令工厂停产，以及DIY空气过滤器专家在网上提供咨询。
Panasonic, the Japanese electronics group, said last week it would offer a pollution bonus to expatriate employees working in China.
日本电子集团松下(Panasonic)上周表示，将向外派至中国工作的非中国籍员工提供污染奖金。
Li Keqiang, Chinese premier, declared a “war on pollution” in his annual speech to the legislature in March. Only three Chinese cities meet national air quality standards, two of which are on islands.
中国总理李克强3月在全国人大年会上发表讲话时，宣布“向污染宣战”。中国只有三个城市达到国家空气质量标准，其中两个位于岛上。
CTrip, an online travel agent, and Ping An, the state-owned insurance company, have teamed up to offer “smog insurance” to travellers and residents in seven cities plagued by smog. The scheme pays out when the air quality index, or AQI, exceeds set levels for two days in a row.
在线旅游代理携程(CTrip)和国有保险公司平安(Ping An)联手推出“雾霾险”，面向受到雾霾困扰的7个城市的游客和市民。该产品将在空气质量指数(AQI)连续两天超过设定水平时作出赔付。
A week of the index being over 300, a level deemed hazardous at prolonged exposure, yields the policy holder a free lung check while those who need hospitalisation because of it would receive Rmb1,500 ($240).
如果空气质量指数持续一周高于300(被视为长时间接触有危险的水平)，保单持有人将得到一次免费的肺部检查，而污染导致需要住院接受治疗的保单持有人将得到1500元人民币(合240美元)。
If pollution exceeds the charts, as happened this winter in the northern city of Shijiazhuang for several days, policy holders can compete for a free trip to the subtropical island of Hainan to “clear their lungs”.
如果污染达到“爆表”水平(北方城市石家庄在这个冬天有好几天出现这样的情况)，保单持有人有机会获取海南“洗肺”旅游。
It is not unknown for cities in northern China to see pollution in hazardous levels for a week at a time, particularly in the winter. But Ping An is on safer ground in the springtime, when breezes and bright skies tend to keep the AQI within more comfortable limits.
在冬季的华北城市，危险级别的污染持续一周的情况并非罕见。但春天意味着平安保险较有把握：微风和明媚的天空往往使空气质量指数保持在比较舒适的范围内。
Haikou, the capital of subtropical Hainan Island, Zhoushan, on an archipelago south of Shanghai that consists of 1,390 islands and 1.1m inhabitants, and Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, were the only three to meet national standards in a survey of 74 of the largest cities, the vice minister for the environment said this month.
中国环保部副部长本月表示，全国74个城市的全年监测结果显示，仅3个城市达到空气质量二级标准。这3个城市是：海口(地处亚热带的海南岛的首府)、舟山(上海以南的一个群岛，共有1390个岛屿和110万居民)，以及西藏首府拉萨。
The air quality index assesses the level of air pollution with a grading system from 0 to 500. The higher the value, the more polluted the air and the greater the health concern: 50 represents good air quality with little potential to affect public health and over 300 is well within the hazardous range.
空气质量指数采用从0到500的数值来评估空气污染水平。该值越高，空气污染就越严重，健康担忧就更大： 50代表空气质量状况属于优，不致影响公众健康，而超过300就进入危险范围了。
The air in Beijing on Thursday was rated “good” by the US embassy and “excellent” on the Chinese index.
周四，北京的空气被美国大使馆评为“良好”，被中国的指数评为“优”。

篇6：雅思阅读基础提升
【雅思阅读基础提升】熟读英语新闻100篇 不会写作也会阅读
不同用途的文章，其写作手法和要求是各不相同的。报刊文章就是最典型的例证，无论从用词还是结构、从修辞到语言都有其独特之处。
有一部很有名的情景喜剧，叫做《成长的烦恼》。这部片子的女主角叫Maggie，原来是大名鼎鼎的Newsweek的记者，十分了得。后来为了家庭先是放弃了那份工作，后又到别的报社谋职，却遭到了拒绝。有些读者可能还记得Maggie失败的原因——因为她的文章中使用了大量的被动语态。
从这样一个小小的细节我们可以看出，英美的报刊杂志对记者和编辑在写作和编辑文章的时候是有很多特殊的要求的。几乎每家大报社、大的杂志社都有自己的编辑规则，也就是style book或者是否style sheet，使其内容和模式标准化。
而其实这些固定、有共性的统一结构和模式，对我们真正把握雅思考试的阅读文章有着至关重要的作用。我们下面就具体分析一下雅思考试中阅读文章的主要特点。
1.语言模式
1) 段落(Paragraph)
英美报刊的文章，不管是新闻还是特写，段落短小是一大特点，一个段落往往就是一句话或两句话。一般来讲，英美报刊段落大概由60个单词组成，平均在4行左右。据说，这是专家经过科学实验后总结出来的经验，认为这是适合读者的最佳段落长度。
大多数雅思阅读文章的段落长度也都是在这个范围。但是由于杂志期刊也是考试命题的重要来源，实战中，长度很大的段落也屡见不鲜。
2) 简明(Concise)
报纸的编辑出版受时间限制，一切都是在时间的压力下完成的。因此报纸一般推崇简明的风格。
2 用词：
记者对所报道的题目一般都比较熟悉，因此能够选用恰当的词汇来表达有关内容，包括一些专业词汇。总体上新闻的用词都比较普通，某些反复用到的词出现率很高，如报道政治新闻时常见到president, congress, senator, representative, scandal, vote, bill一类的词。
偏爱短词是英美报刊用词的一大特点。比较下面几组单词，我们很容易明白为何短词更多地见诸报端。
accord / agreement back / support ban / prohibition
bar / prohibit, exclude bid / attempt boost / incentive
chide / ridicule coup/ change in government curb / restraint
cut / reduce deal / agreement drive / campaign, effort
envoy / diplomat gems / jewels head / direct
held / restraint jet / affected badly, airplane key / essential,vital
link / connection oust / push out, replace pack / treaty
pay / wages, salary poll / public opinion survey probe / investigate
quit / leave, resign talks / discussion ties / relations
top / exceed tot / child vow / promise wed / marry
主动语态(active voice)：比较例句：a) Senator Dole planned to announce his resignation from the Senate.和例句：b) It was planned by Senator Dole to announce his resignation from the Senate.
时态：一般用现在时而不是过去时表示事件是最近发生的，是新闻而不是旧闻。
肯定句(positive form)：比较例句：a) He was not very often on time. 和例句：b) He usually came late.
雅思阅读段落信息匹配题如何应对
段落信息匹配在考试中的难度及其分量是不言自明的，它也是剑桥官方用以区别7分、8分、9分考生的利器之一。但是，剑桥官方并没有因为其难度较高而忽视该题型的存在：段落信息匹配在考试中的频率仅次于LOH。如何应对这一杀手题型，成了很多考生们的大难题。怎么应对雅思阅读段落信息匹配题中，旨在提供以下方法技能，为考生备考提供一点帮助。
一、雅思阅读段落信息匹配题型细节
(一)段落信息匹配题的题型识别
文章每段都有A, B, C, D, E, F等段落代码，且位于文章后面首组题型，题目指令：Which paragraph contains the following information? 有时候含有NB You may use any letter more than once这样的提示信息，即是该题目的特殊要求。
(二)在雅思阅读段落中的位置特征
题干乱序，且多为名词性短语或者短句，一般不含有明显定位词汇。对于
雅思阅读中的其他多数题型(LOH除外)，基本都是一个题目对等原文的一个句子。而段落信息匹配却是对等原文的某个或某几个段落，定位相对较难。
(三)段落信息匹配题的命题原因
考查考生快速反应定位信息的能力，并在回文定位的过程中，敏锐识别题干信息在原文的原词重现、同义替换、词性转换、上下义关系，甚至偶尔也会考查根据段落主旨信息，判别段落细节内容的能力。
(四)雅思阅读段落信息匹配题的难度系数
以最高难度级别为满分为☆☆☆☆☆计算，这组考生杀手题，在业界也被称之为断子绝孙题的难度在☆☆☆——☆☆☆☆☆之间。一般会在强化阶段或者7分段会加以细致讲解，所以基础授课阶段很少会讲到。
二、雅思阅读段落信息匹配题解题步骤
本文章中以C6T3P1为例进行讲解。
(一)雅思阅读文章及段落信息匹配题的题型分析
本文无标题，题目由段落信息匹配5个(乱序)+正误无判断题4个(顺序)+选择题4个(顺序);
(二)段落信息匹配题的题型解答顺序
一般在考试中，我们认为，符合题号顺序原则的题目相对于乱序的题目较为容易解答;有明显定位词汇的题目比没有明显定位的题目难度相对要小。所以，对于本篇文章，可以根据顺序优先、定位词汇优先的原则，先解后两组题目。
雅思阅读的段落信息匹配题一直是雅思考生们的杀手题目，这次特此详细讲述分析了该题型细节、难点、答题顺序，希望考友们注意。
(三)段落信息匹配题的解题步骤
在解答前面两组题目时，记住用到了哪些文章段落：B, C, D, E, H;没有用到哪些段落：A, F, G , I, J。然后正式进入段落信息匹配解答过程：
Step 1：看段落信息匹配的题目要求，关注是否含有：NB You may use any letter more than once，以及题目个数与文章段落数的对比：5：10 Questions 1-5
Reading Passage 1 has ten paragraphs, A-J.
Which paragraph contains the following information?
Write the correct letter, A-J, in boxes 1-5 on your answer sheet.
Step 2：划题目中的定位词汇，并总结所有划出单词短语的词性：名词(具体名词在原文原词重现，抽象名词在原文同义替换)、动词(同义替换居多);
1 the location of the first cinema
2 how cinema came to focus on stories
3 the speed with which cinema has changed
4 how cinema teaches us about other cultures
5 the attraction of actors in films
Step 3：对比段落信息匹配与前面解过的两组题型有无定位词汇重合或者定位词汇意思相同的现象(一般认为，在两组或者三组不同的题型中，如果有明确的定位词汇重合或者同义关系，有可能它们的定位信息出现在同一段落)
在本文章的正误无判断题目中，有第8题中的other countries与段落信息匹配中的第4题other cultures;第9题中的storylines和段落信息匹配中的第2题定位词汇重合。可得出这两个题目的答案。
Step 4：然后按照无题段落优先的原则，先分析已解题未用的段落(这个点主要基于文章通常由5-11段组成，出13-14个题目，这就意味着通常每个段落有1-2题出现，根据每段1-2题的原则)
Step 5：确定答案：1题选A(location意味着原文有地名或者地点;first意味着段落含有时间或“首先”概念);2题选I(focus on stories原文有overwhelmingly, a medium for telling stories);3题选J(quickly对等speed;changed对等happened);5题选G(actors对等原文star)。
(四)雅思阅读段落信息匹配题的解题难点
1、对于题型，学生都有按照顺序挨个解得惯性思维，这一点应该尽快扭转
2、有些学生即便用对了解题顺序，也会出现因为已解题型定位不当而解题错误，这会对后面的段落信息匹配造成困扰
3、在面对段落信息匹配题目时，多数学生感到无从下手，不知道怎样选择合适的定位词汇，而在分析原文段落时，也纠结哪些信息该看，哪些信息不该看。
雅思阅读定位词怎样抓住
同其他考试的阅读部分相比，雅思考试阅读部分最大的特点是文章篇幅长。很多学生拿到阅读看到一页又一页的abcd便哀声连连。除了文章长，文章类型还多，上到天文下到地理都有可能成为文章体裁。可是悲惨的消息还不仅仅于此，雅思阅读考试题目多时间还短：考生要在一个小时内做40道题目。很多考生看到这些噩耗后，不禁心生胆颤。
雅思阅读种.种特点决定了我们考试不是做精读而是做泛读。我们要直接绕过障碍，从单纯的“信息获取”转变成“寻找答案”。那么如何找出文章中有用的句子?这就需要定位词出场了。定位词的核心即是一个可以根据题干回原文定位，并且能够找到出处的词。
定位词总体特征有不可变性和细节性。
不可变性：定位词是用来定位的，所以必须找那些回原文依然不变的词汇，才有意义。通常不用动词和副词来定位，而是用名词来做定位词。变化性最小的名词就是我们所谓的lucky nouns，只要我们人品爆发遇到这些词，那么定位就是小菜一碟了，这几类名词有：
1.特殊词汇：在阅读中有一些词长的比较特殊，这种词很容易被记住，也很容易回原文定位。 这些词的特点要么是特别长要么是特别怪要门特别难。
比如说“orbital prefontal cortex”， sodium这些单词看着就特别难，所以我们可以选取他们做定位词。
2.数字：通常指时间，金钱和百分比。
有一个道题目是这样问的：
“The 1990 survey related to 550,000 consultations with alternative therapists.”
那么像1990, 550,000这些词因为长相原因，在全是英文的段落中十分显眼，也就很好回原文找到他们。
3.专有名词：大写人名地名，大写的专有名词。这一点大家很熟悉不用多说。
4.特殊符号：引号，破折号和斜体等。比如“prescription”这个词本身并没有什么特别，但放在引号里面，就可以根据符号回原文进行寻找。
如果我们没有遇到所谓的幸运名词，那么我们就只能划一般名词，我们要注意与名词密切相关的形容词要一起划下来。比如说cleaner cars,我们不仅仅用cars定位与其密切相关的cleaner也一起定位。
细节性是指不要找大概念的词汇，更不要拿代表全文主旨的词汇来定位。大概念的词汇通常为抽象词，包括opinion, idea, result, information, role, effect, trend, theory，importance等等。 这一类词虽然全部是名词，但是规律告诉我们，这些词很少会在原文中一模一样出现。而全文主旨性的词通常是文章标题中出现的词。这些词是不会拿来作定位词的，因为通常来说这些词会在原文会多次出现。如 95年英国剑桥委员会British Council给出的唯一样题文章的题目是:The Spectacular Eruption of Mount St.Helens。下面有一道选择题是“ According to the text the eruption of Mount St.Helens and other volcanoes has influenced our climate by…”。 拿这道题为例，如果大家把题目中的Mount St.Helens 作为定位词，那你会郁闷致死，全文主要讲的就是圣海伦斯火山的喷发，原文有N多个Mount St.Helens，所以即使这个词属于大写的专有名词，但他违背了细节性，是概括性的词汇，也不能作为定位词来寻找答案。
利用泛读提高雅思阅读实际水平
阅读，乃至整个英语学习，亦无他，唯眼熟耳。这一点在我的开博文《雅思四大境界》中早有提到。
无奈，时间紧、任务重。很多同学没有时间泛读英文报刊杂志，即使有时间，也不知道从那些文章下手。不是读得太杂太泛，就是太深太偏。如何能够在2-3个月内通过泛读来提高自己的阅读实际水平?
一、选材要精当
尽量选择与曾经考过的雅思话题有关的文章。以全年曾经出现过的雅思文章类型为例：
其中总共出现了25篇自然科学类的文章，包括：
1.冰河世纪
2.昆虫进化
3.探索外星
4.蝴蝶演变
5.鸟类方向感
6.恐龙灭绝
7.蚂蚁智商
8.彗星
9.BIO DIVERSITY
10.水獭
11.珍稀植物
12.金星凌日
13.清洁海滩
14.蝴蝶演变
15.冰川
16.保护海龟
17.动物智商
18.龙涎香
19.蚂蚁防虫
20.小鸟孵化
21.声波测海洋
22.海藻研究
23.澳洲能源
24.动物的学习能力
25.乌鸦造工具
如果能够在各大外刊上寻找到相关文章，并且作为背景知识加以泛读，将来在考场上遇到，起码脸熟。
二、单词要适度
有的同学一泛读就落进了单词的陷阱，基本上遇到一个生词就要停下来查，翻字典翻到手断，阅读语感仍然没有。我的建议是当在泛读过程中遇到生词时，不要马上查，先联系一下上下文，猜测一下词义，真不明白的时候再翻字典。实在不成就偷偷懒，求助一下金山词霸。它的屏幕取词功能还是很强大的。一般来讲，在一篇泛读文章中你真正值得查的单词不应该超过50个。
三、时间要控制
泛读总给人不认真，泛泛而读，不求甚解的感觉。好像就是茶余饭后，窝在沙发上，就着饼干水果茶昏黄灯光进行的休闲活动。SORRY。泛读真滴不是这个样子滴。你可以这样读八卦杂志，看言情小说，但是对于英文，尤其对于初学者，基本没有享受而言。目标，很重要。在读一篇文章前，你一定要有个目标。没有目标，就定个时间。比如，我要在20分钟内把这篇文章搞定。这样才能在最短时间内培养语感，提升速度，不然将来上场，还是无法适应考试的快节奏。
为了帮助DDMM们做好泛读工作，学好雅思阅读，从今天起，我将不定期地甄选雅思背景文章在BLOG上供大家泛读用。
篇7：雅思阅读提升技巧
【超实用阅读技巧】雅思阅读提升技巧 慢中求稳
1、阅读能力从何而来?更多的是从泛读中来，而不是精读。这个问题如同在问：生活经验从何而来?给一个稚气未脱的孩子讲解结婚的程序，离婚的道理，难道他就象成年人一样会驾御生活了吗?否!精读课文往往短小精悍，生词多，语法点多，是用来学习语言知识的。切记：语言知识不是语言能力。单纯背一万个单词，熟记语法规则并不能保证在正常的时间之内，准确领悟篇章的内容。因为语言知识不是一下子就能转化为能力的。就如同小孩学习成年人的生活。泛读的过程是将知识转化为能力的过程。
2、泛读的最大特点：阅读量。短期内提高能力需要五十万词汇到两百万词汇的阅读量，具体的量视不同的人和不同目标而定。
3、持续时间：3个月——半年
4、阅读材料：首先简单原则(生词量控制在百分之三左右)。读太难的文章是自虐，打击自信，恶性循环;读太简单的文章是自欺欺人，原地踏步。学语言的基本规律：合适的材料读多了，难的自然就变简单了。然后知识趣味原则。reading for pleasure and information， not for English grammar and words。
5、每天的阅读量和时间安排：八千词汇，两个小时左右。
6、基本阅读方法：不为单纯的学英语而读，为了获取知识与乐趣，要与书本产生知识和思想上的交流。一遍读过，不回头，读懂70%-80%的内容即可。基本不查单词，除非单词对领悟文章的核心内容构成障碍。鄙人曾经读Red star over China，遇到如下信息，说毛主席坐在延安的炕头上，脱下裤子找lice，什么东西?单词不认识。对兴趣构成重大障碍，查!虱子。
7、积累和复习：查过的词汇不注解其汉语意思，而是将其所在的句子一并copy下来，当作笔记。利用零星时间，比如上厕所，吃饭，等女朋友时，翻阅笔记，回忆词汇，回忆句子，回忆文章。这样可以巩固知识面，巩固句法结构，巩固词汇，做到一石三鸟。
雅思阅读模拟练习及答案
Birthdays often involve surprises. But this year’s surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.
On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. ”It’s very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one,“ said an expert from Britain’s National Portrait Gallery.
The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image—commonly known as the “Flower portrait” —was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare’s death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.
“We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare’s plays,” Tarnya Cooper, the gallery’s curator(馆长), told the Associated President.
The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company.
“There have always been questions about the painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. “Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture.”
Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation(调查) and the results will come out later this month.

篇8：雅思阅读提升攻略
雅思阅读提升攻略丨距离考试一个月如何提升阅读水平?
一. 每天坚持做精读
雅思阅读提升离不开精读练习，虽然精读很耗费时间，但是精读真很有效。建议每天花费1-2个小时做2-3篇精读练习。至于精读材料，质量最优的当属剑雅真题，这些题目里面的阅读是雅思阅读考试真题，质量很高，一定要吃透。精读的时候先仔细分析错题，然后再通篇精读，积累生词，整理长难句，了解文章结构和出题点。
二. 做题技巧要掌握
除了精读加强基础外，此时我们也要掌握做题技巧。因为已经到了考前冲刺阶段，掌握做题技巧对于提升做题速度，提高正确率都是很有帮助的。首先，小站雅思君推荐大家使用先易后难的做题策略。雅思阅读考试中考试时间非常紧张，先做容易的题目可以留出足够时间去思考难度较高的题目，大家在平时练习中可以尝试采用这样的做策略来做题。其次，小站雅思君建议大家在平时多积累各类题目的快速做题技巧，比如细节题如何快速在原文中快速定位出处找到关键信息等等。最后，关于技巧小站雅思君还要强调一点，技巧只是建立在良好的基础之上，不要妄图只依靠技巧就能拿到雅思阅读高分。
三. 限时模考高频进行
最后，考前一个月要坚持做模考练习。我们都知道雅思阅读考试考试时间紧任务重，必需练就快速做题速度，否则无法在紧张的考试氛围中取胜。最后一个月的时间里，建议大家每天做1-2套阅读限时模考练习。每篇阅读做题时间建议控制在15分钟以内，如果实在达不到，可以定在20分钟内完成一篇，但是要保证正确率。模考完成后也要及时分析错题。
