雅思考試的閱讀要點(diǎn)
雅思閱讀考試要點(diǎn)【1】
一、時(shí)間永遠(yuǎn)是您最大的敵人
在IELTS閱讀測試中,TIME對絕大部分學(xué)生,特別是英文閱讀水平相對一般的學(xué)生來說,更尤為至關(guān)重要。即使是英語為母語的人也無法在IELTS測試規(guī)定的時(shí)間內(nèi)完全理解所有的詞匯。因此,一定控制好TIME。
二、所問所答
IELTS測試的金玉良言就是:所問所答。首先,要完全了解問題的類型,及根據(jù)所提供的信息,再去回答問題。有的學(xué)生在參加完IELTS測試后總感覺所得分?jǐn)?shù)與自己估算的分?jǐn)?shù)相差甚遠(yuǎn),原因無它,就在于對問題理解不夠徹底,因此,也就無法對所提問題做到精確回答。
三、系統(tǒng)地制定學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃
大部分參加普通類測試的考生都已離開學(xué)校多年,甚至很長時(shí)間沒有繼續(xù)英文方面的學(xué)習(xí)。因此,必須盡量每天安排一定的`時(shí)間,比如說每天一小時(shí),并根據(jù)自身英文情況制定一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃,穩(wěn)步、系統(tǒng)地學(xué)習(xí)。
閱讀訓(xùn)練:爭取每天閱讀一定量的原版英文報(bào)刊、書籍,并非要讀懂每一 個(gè)字,或完全理解,只要能理解其中大至含義既可。 可采取3:1的比例進(jìn)行泛讀與精讀。
四、增加閱讀速度
要增加英語閱讀的速度,當(dāng)然并非一朝一日即可達(dá)到。通常需要相當(dāng)長一段時(shí)間的學(xué)習(xí)及訓(xùn)練。但無論如何,應(yīng)加強(qiáng)英文基礎(chǔ)訓(xùn)練,掌握必要的測試技巧,從而在現(xiàn)有的英文基礎(chǔ)之上取得最好的成績。 總之,付出越多,收獲越大。
雅思閱讀考試要點(diǎn)【2】
能夠快速確定雅思閱讀的考點(diǎn),對于迅速提高閱讀成績至關(guān)重要。
單點(diǎn)測試
雅思考試是“單點(diǎn)測試”:一道題目一般只考察一個(gè)點(diǎn),這就是題目的考點(diǎn)。而其余信息一般都是文中所討論到得事實(shí),不作為考點(diǎn)。因此,高效正確的確定考點(diǎn),對于提高雅思閱讀的速度和解題準(zhǔn)確度,是一個(gè)關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)。
事實(shí)信息和邏輯信息
雅思閱讀題目中,大部分信息為“事實(shí)信息”,是不需要確認(rèn)其正確性的;而關(guān)鍵的信息是“邏輯信息”,為題目的考點(diǎn)所在。
筆者將聊舉數(shù)例,以供讀者體會:
例1:C3T1P2Q21 ( Test 1 Passage 2 Question 21,以下均用同義符號體系)
YES if the statement reflects the claims of the writer
NO if the statement contradicts the claims of the writer
NOT GIVEN if it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about this
Q21. Opponents of smoking financed the UCSF study.
本題之事實(shí)信息為opponents of smoking以及the UCSF study,而邏輯信息為 financed,即文章會談到opponents of smoking 和the UCSF study這兩個(gè)細(xì)節(jié),而要求判斷的是“前者是否資助(financed)了后者”。
本題的原文如下:“A more recent study by researchers at the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) has shown that second-hand cigarette smoke does more harm to non-smokers than to smokers. ” 和 “The American Medical Association represents about half of all US doctors and is a strong opponent of smoking.”
上述原文談?wù)摰搅耸聦?shí)信息,即opponents of smoking, (The American Medical Association represents about half of all US doctors and is a strong opponent of smoking)和the UCSF study (A more recent study by researchers at the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) has shown that second-hand cigarette smoke does more harm to non-smokers than to smokers.)
而題目的考點(diǎn),是要求考察邏輯信息financed,在原文中沒有提到,所以本題答案為NOT GIVEN.
例2:C5T2P2Q17
TRUE if the statement agrees with the information
FALSE if the statement contradicts the information
NOT GIVEN if there is no information on this
Q17. Current thinking on humour has largely ignored Aristotle's view on the subject.
文章中會談?wù)摰绞聦?shí)信息為Current thinking on humour 以及Aristotle's view on the subject,而需要判斷的邏輯信息為 has largely ignored, 要求判斷的是“前者是否很大程度上忽略了后者”。
文章中談到“ most modern humour theorists have settled on some Aristotle's belief that ......”文章中,亞里士多德具體的看法是非常難理解(誰讓人家是亞里士多德呢:),但是我們只要知道題目中的考點(diǎn),是問人們是不是忽略了他的想法。
題目中的ignore是指“忽略”,而文章中的意思為“大多數(shù)人在亞里士多德的想法上達(dá)到一致(have settled on)”,題目的考點(diǎn)和原文相反,因此答案選擇FALSE!
例3:C5T3P2Q22
TRUE if the statement agrees with the information
FALSE if the statement contradicts the information
NOT GIVEN if there is no information on this
Q22. Sediment in the irrigation canals on the Nile delta causes flooding.
文章中會談?wù)摰绞聦?shí)信息為Sediment in the irrigation canals on the Nile delta 以及 flooding,而需要判斷的邏輯信息為 causes, 要求判斷的是“前者是否導(dǎo)致了后者”。
原文中談到Once north of Cairo, most of the Nile water is diverted into more than 10,000 kilometres of irrigation canals and only a small proportion reaches the sea directly through the rivers in the delta. The water in the irrigation canals is still or very slow-moving and thus cannot carry sediment, Stanley explains. The sediment sinks to the bottom of the canals and then is added to fields by farmers or pumped with the water into the four large freshwater lagoons that are located near the outer edges of the delta: So very little of it actually reaches the coastline to replace what is being washed away by the Mediterranean currents
所以原文提到了到sediment 和irrigation canals,考點(diǎn)邏輯信息causes the flooding 沒有提到,所以答案選擇NOT GIVEN!
