Scanning for Specific Information

The Weird and the Wonderful - That's Tourism! The Beijing Olympics started on 08.08.08, but on 07.07.07 there was an event of almost equal importance, On that earlier date, the new Seven Wonders of the World were

announced.

These

replaced

most of the original ancient ones, although Egypt's Pyramids were given an honorary place. The final revised list included the ancient stone city of Petra in Jordan and the ruined city of Machu Picchu in Peru. Italy's Colosseum, India's Taj Mahal and Mexico's Chichen Itza were three magnificent buildings that were included, and Brazil's towering statue of Christ the Redeemer, which was only built in 1931, joined the older members of the list. And, needless to say, the updated list would have been incomplete without the inc1usion of A

China's Great Wall, which was built to defend the country from invaders. Those sites, are very popular, and people travel from all over the world to view them, but other than looking at them, there's very little else to do. Tourist companies in cities, towns or villages want to get people to come and have a good time and spend their money, so they have to dream up ways of attracting the tourists. Then they have to keep them there by providing them with something different, exciting or even downright dangerous to do; the trick, though, is to think of something unique.

That could be something like New Zealand's original bungy jumping, for example, where a stretchy rope is tied around your ankles and you jump from a great height, stopping (hopefully) just before the ground. Or it could be dragon boat races, for instance, which take place in China each year on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese lunar calendar. If you say bungy, people immediately think of New Zealand, and if you say dragon boat, people at once think of China, but you can do bungy jumps in other parts of the world, and you can see dragon boat racing in Singapore or other places overseas.

Big cities usually have many attractions to keep tourists happy, but smaller towns or villages find it difficult and they sometimes struggle. Some fail, but others manage to put themselves on the map and attract large numbers of visitors. They do this by organizing events that are not available anywhere else in the whole wide world. Take Cooper's Hill in England for instance: they roll a large cheese down a steep hill and hundreds of people chase after it. Many fall and are hurt, but the last person standing at the bottom of the hill can keep the cheese.

A similar downhill event takes place in Suwa, Japan, where men only sit on a huge log, one behind the other, and try to ride it down a steep hill without falling off and being injured or worse. Why do they do it? Other than the sense of pride and relief at making it to the bottom of the hill in one piece, there is no prize, no money, nothing. Or take the town of Sonkajarvi in Finland; it organises a yearly wife-carrying competition in which the man must carry the woman and run along the ground and through water. The first couple to cross the winning line get the prize ... the wife's weight in beer!

Then there's Bunol, Spain. On the last Wednesday in August, they have a food fight. It's called La Tomatina, and up to 40,000 people can gather in the streets and throw ripe tomatoes at each other. As you can imagine, it's very, very messy, but great fun. Another fun festival which is just as messy, if not messier, occurs every summer in Boryeong, South Korea. During the annual Mud Festival, people, especially foreigners, let their hair down and play and wrestle in the mud. Most of these events, apart from the Finnish one, which has been imitated elsewhere, are truly unique because they can't be found anywhere else in the world.

B C D E F

G

From a tourism provider's point of view, tourism is all about how to attract people to your area, and then keep them there long enough to spend money. There needs to be a 'point of difference', something that makes your site, festival or attraction really stand out in a crowded market. Some places are lucky enough to have one of the great wonders of the world. Others have a special annual festival or event which is too good to be missed. The rest have to rely on spectacular scenery, seasonal conditions, such as winter snow, or unique activities and adventure sports to keep the flow of tourists rolling in.

剑桥雅思阅读课堂笔记

The Analysis and Solution of Cambridge IELTS （4、5、6、7） 环球雅思温亮明 IELTS Reading（剑4. 5. 6. 7） 第1章IELTS中关于阅读文章中是非判断题分析 是非题中关于“only”题的总结（共11题，8F, 2NG , 1T） 总结：剑4、5、6中共有“only”题（是非判断）7小题，5题F，2题NG，剑7中共有“only”题（是非判断）4小题3F，1T。F机率远大于NG及T 是非题中关于比较级的总结（共24题，5F, 12NG, 7T） 剑7中比较级考点（是非判断）共计4小题1F，2NG，1T 剑4.5.6比较级考点（是非判断）共计20小题，6T，10NG，4F 总结：NG＞T＞F 是非判断题中同级比较（the same …as…）(…as well as…)的总结 剑4.5.6共计the same …as题4道2T，1NG，1F 剑7共计2题同级比较，1T，1 F 总结: 剑4.5.6.7 阅读真题中同级比较考点无规律可循 剑桥IELTS阅读文章中是非判断题解决方法 1、是非判断题的出题顺序与其在原文中定位句（处）的顺序是一致的，所以做此类题时必须有方向感，即Q1题在文中定位要在Q2前边，Q2题在原文中定位句要在Q3原文定位处前边……例如：剑5，P23，T1P2Q26 题目中独特定位词为sociobiology，在和中都出现了，第一次出现是在Q25题原文定位处的前面，第二次出现在Q25题原文定位处的后面，因为Q25与Q26两题具有顺序性，所以Q26题的答案应在原文Q25题原文定位处的后面的中定位，而不是在Q25题原文定位处的前面的找答案。 注意：此规律内容并非绝对，但基本成立。 2、剑桥IELTS是非判断题基本上是考查原文中连续段落，即几个是非判断题在原文中的定位处是几个连续顺序的段落，或这些是非判断题集中于原文某一个或某两个段落，但无论是何情形，定位处（句）仍旧是按顺序的。注意：此规律并非绝对，定位处的连续性基本上正确。 3、据考证是非题干中划线的定位词在文中的定位基本上是首次出现时进行定位划线，个别时候，在二次出现时定位，极个别时正确答案在三次以上原文出现时定位。 4、IELTS文章的题目，除List of Headings考段落、Sections主题，或文章后边一个单个选择题考整篇文章title之外，几乎所有阅读文章题目都是针对整篇文章的不同信息点设置的，每个题目所考内容只是整个文章中的一个信息点，而整篇文章是由多个信息点构成的一个层面，考试时间有限，考生使用的答题时间有限，IELTS考官设置试题时必须给予考生一定的解题线索，没有解题线索，此考题出题失败，而每个是非题目中的定位词（关键信息词）就是考生在原文中找到出题点的钥匙，所以把题干中的定位词（题干信息点）确定之后，找其在原文的重复出现或找其在原文中的同义替换，就可以确定本题在文章中的定位处（出题句），题目中的考点词与定位词同处于一道题目中，考点词与定位词之间肯定存在某种逻辑关系，基本上在文中找到定位句后（通过题干中定位词找在文中的对应定位词），就可以在定位句找到与题目中考点词有密切关系的答案信息，这是解决是非判断题最科学有效的方法,切记雅思所有题目实质上就是找题目信息点与原文信息点的逻辑对应。

剑桥雅思7阅读解析汇报test4

Question 1 答案：TRUE 关键词：large numbers of people, build the pyramids 定位原文: 第1段第2句: “The conventional picture is that…” 解题思路: 此题通过定位词可以迅速定位至首段第2句话，题干对文章定位句的概括性改写分析如下：generally believed — conventional picture, large numbers of people — tens of thousands of slaves. 因此答案很明显应该是TRUE。 Question 2 答案：FALSE 关键词：hieroglyph, Egyptian monument 定位原文: 首段第5句: “While perusing a book…” 解题思路: 此题定位词在文中原词出现，可以快速定位。文中定位句指出Clemmons是在一本关于埃及古迹的书中读到的象形文字信息，而题目却说她在一座埃及古迹的墙上发现了象形文字，显然题目与文章相悖，因此此题答案为FALSE。 Question 3 答案：NOT GIVEN 关键词：experiment, bird flight 定位原文: 无 解题思路: 题干的定位信息在文章中未出现，此题为最典型的“原文完全未提及型”，故答案为NOT GIVEN Question 4 答案： TRUE 关键词：theory 定位原文: 第4段首句：”Earlier this year...”今年早些时候，他们把Clemmons空头理论付诸实验 解题思路: 题目与文章完全相符，因此此题答案为TRUE Question 5

雅思阅读信号词讲解

雅思阅读信号词讲解 雅思阅读信号词讲解, 8种类型助你不再迷茫，给大家带来了雅思阅读信号词讲解，希望能够帮助到大家，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。 雅思阅读信号词讲解8种类型助你不再迷茫 雅思阅读信号词之一、顺接和递进 例词：also，furthermore，moreover，what is more，in addition… 考点：And Western scientists are starting to draw on this wisdom… (C6，P28，Q31找标题) 解析：And在这句话开头，有一定的递进含义，this wisdom 则是指代了前面一句话出现的their wealth of traditional knowledge(因纽特人传统的知识)，所以这两句话有紧密的联系，同学们在读题的时候要通过发现信号词，然后发散地看它的前后句，最后把考点考察的意思补充完整。 雅思阅读信号词之二、对比和转折 例词：however，but，although，nevertheless，on the other hand，by comparison，while

考点：But such projects must be built to higher specifications and with more accountability to local people and their environment than in the past. (C7 P24 Q20) 解题：此题是段落大意配对题，在确定H段段落大意时，段落中间but之后出现的那句话就是解题的关键，根据句子中出现的两个比较级，可以确定答案应该为X The need to raise standards. 考点：While suggestopedia has gained some notoriety through success in the teaching of modern languages，few teachers are able to emulate the spectacular results of Lozanove and his associates. (C7 P27 倒数第二段Q39，40) 解析：段首句用while引起注意，我们可以根据success，和后半句中的few teachers，spectacular results，搞定最后两个填空题。 雅思阅读信号词之三、相似 例词：similarly，in other words，that is，put another way，as … 考点：Thus，we concluded that the blind interpret abstract shapes as sighted people do.(C4，P28，Q40)

雅思阅读技巧专题介绍

雅思阅读技巧赵曙明 (华师7分精品班) 一．雅思阅读猜词常用词缀（在我的信箱里） 常用前缀（Pr efixes）: a-, an- not, without, hackin ultra- beyond, excessive, extreme 常用词根（Stems）: -anthro-, -anthropo- man -metr-, -meter- measure -morph- form -pathy- feeling, suffering 常用后缀（Suffixes）: ---phobia , ---mania , scope, ----cide 二．雅思阅读技巧篇 第1节寻找3种语言重现 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。考生要在 一个小时内完成8种类型共计40道题目(这个要求近乎苛刻)。因此，阅读目的就从单纯的“信息获取’’转变成”寻找答案”。在这个过程中，原文涉及的大部分细节内容对于完成题目是无意义的，无需字斟句酌。只有在阅读中准确把握题干的关键词，才能区分哪些字句与题目(答题点)有关。 所谓“关键词’’是指题干中的核心词或者决定答案性质或位置的词。典型的关键词是 句子的主干、人名、地名、时间、数字和生词。由于它们会在原文重现，因此产生了一种答 题方法：回原文找关键词。这往往给考生一种印象：只要在题干中划出关键词就一定能找到原词。那么关键词一定会“原型”重现吗?请看下面这道判断题： Example: While it is acknowledged for many years that an increasing number of animals are bound to become extinct，it is only recently that the problem has been addressed by politicians． 题目: We have known for along time that more species of animals will disappear．(判断题) AA语言重现 关键词在原文中以原词形式出现。AA语言重现在试题中占的比例最大，也是最简单的 一类考法。它以特殊关键词为主，包括人名、地名、时间、数字和生词。 Example: At precisely 4:20 am on Friday the 24th of September 1993 it was announced that Sydney had beaten five other competing cities around the world，and Australians everywhere，not only Sydney-siders，were justifiably proud of the result．But，if Sydney had lost the bid，would the taxpayers of NESW and of Australia have approved of government's spending millions of dollars in a failed and costly exercise? 题目：How many cities were competing in 1993 for the right to hold the 2000 Games? (简答题) AB语言重现 定义：关键词A在原文中以同义词B的形式出现。AB语言重现题考察考生的单词量，主要凭理解力去定位。 Sea fishing grew rapidly in the decades after the Second World War. Mechanisation increased the fishermen's catch in traditional grounds and then carried them to distant waters for more. 题目: Technological developments contributed to the higher fish catches after the Second World War. ( 判断题) 关系重现 定义：所谓“关系重现”是把定位对象从“词”上升到“句子结构”，从而越过生词造成的阅读障碍。这是最关键的一类语言重现，是阅读技巧的完美体现。 例：Paper is also biodegradable, so it does not pose as much threat to the environment when it is discarded.

剑桥雅思9阅读解析test2

Passage1 Question 1 答案： H 关键词： national policy 定位原文: H段第1句“The New Zealand Government…” 解题思路: 这一段的首句就以一种叙事口吻向考生交代了新西兰全国上下正在开展的一场为残疾人服务 的战略，该句含义为“新西兰政府已经制定出一项‘新西兰残疾人事业发展战略’，并开始进入广泛咨 询意见的阶段。”另外，在该段其它语句中也提到the strategy recognises..., Objective 3...is to provide...等信息，非常符合题干中account一词的含义。 Question 2 答案： C 关键词： global team 定位原文： C段最后一句“The International Institute of…” 解题思路：这句含义为“在世界卫生组织的建议下，国际噪声控制工程学会(I-INCE)成立了一个国际工作小组来”，这句话中international能够对应题干中的global, 而working party能够对应team。这是对应关系非常明显的一道题目。 Question 3 答案： B 关键词： hypothesis, reason, growth in classroom noise 定位原文： B段第3句“Nelson and Soil have also suggested...” 解题思路：在该段首句中就出现了classroom noise这个词，因此该段有可能就是本题的对应段落。在接下来的叙述Nelson and Soil have also suggested...中，suggest一词能够对应题干中的hypothesis 后一句中的This all amounts to heightened activity and noise levels，与题干中的one reason相对应 Question 4

雅思阅读：例题详解--剑八T1P1为例

雅思阅读：例题详解--剑八T1P1为例下面为大家整理了雅思阅读例题详析，供考生们参考，以下是详细内容。 今天详细讲解突破雅思剑8之Test1之Passage1。 翻开雅思剑桥系列，首先浏览题目，留下总体印象是：一共有三种题型，前两个题型是Matching题，而最后一个是填图题。 然后进行分析，最后的填图题型，应该可以一眼判断是小段落的信息填空，不需要畏惧，顺着文章读下去，水到自然会渠成。 而比较棘手的是前两个Matching题型，1-4题是InformationContained题，而5-8题则属于TraditionalMatching题(也就是变形的人名与理论搭配题)，二者都是乱序的。 再次确定和辨析完Matching题目的属性后，大家不禁心里多少会有些紧张吧。因为这类乱序的题目的确是比较棘手。但无论形式如何复杂，只要一步步按部就班的划出KeyWords，再回原文定位，一切题目都是可以解决的。 小贴士： 所谓划出KeyWords，就是找出雅思阅读原文中的重要信息点(通常也为考点所在)，使题干一目了然，最重要的还是确定了KeyWords之后，能够顺利地返回原文进行定位，从而顺利解题。 在此，小编就拙劣地给出一些自己的解题思路吧： 1.KWs：coldtemperature;与第4段中的freezingweather信息点相对应 2.KWs：farmingcommunities;与第2段中的agriculture信息点相对应。 小编在此还要罗嗦几句。这题，小编自己也做错了，错误地定位到了第1段中的regulateplantingandharvesting。 所以，题目在这里还有一个重要的KWs一开始容易被忽略，那就是theimportanceof，与第2段中的crucial一词相呼应。 如果两个KWs和相对应原文中的信息点都找对的话，这题就一定不会出错的~ 3.KWs：originsofthependulum;与第6段末尾处中的apendulumclockhadbeendevised 相对应。

雅思阅读教案

雅思阅读教案 paragraph headings（段落标题） 在阅读文章的前面给出 list of headings, 一般是 5 到 10 个左右选项，其中含一到两个段落及其标题的例子。要求对题目中给出的段落，根据其内容找出与其相匹配的段落标题。尽管题目说明中提示一个选项可能会适用多个，但正式考试中一般一个选项只能用于一个段落。 ? 段落标题类答题步骤： 1.首先在 list of headings 中划去做为例子的 heading 或 headings ，以免在根据段落内容在 list of headings 中找出与其相匹配的段落标题时，它（它们）会干扰考试者对其他 headings 的选择。 ? 2.在文章中把做为例子的段落划掉，以免对例子段落进行不必要的精读。 3.对题目中给出的段落，按照首句（第一、二句）、末句和中间句寻找主题句的方法，在 list of headings 中找出与其相匹配的段落标题。 ? 4.如果时间允许，按照文章的段落顺序，对非题目中给出的段落及例子段落进行快速阅读，而对题目中给出并要求找出与其相匹配的段落标题的段落进行精读。找出其中心意思后，再在 list of headings 中找出与其相匹配的段落标题。 ? 5.选出几个可能匹配的题目进行比较（通常两至三个），当然其中只能有一个为正确答案。 ? 6. 对于第一种匹配题型可以将最难的题留在最后进行匹配，不要在较难的题上花费更多的时间，而应选择较易回答的题目进行匹配，最后所剩即为该难题的答案。 ? 7. 要仔细检察答案，特别是第一题型，因为答错一题，就意味着答错两道题。 ? 相应练习：剑四 test3 passage2 剑五 test3 passage3 剑六 test2 passage1 剑六 test3 passage2 剑六 test4 passage1 二、辨别正误题型 (True / false /not given)? 该题型还涉及到：（not given / not mentioned）没有提到，有时还会出现下列提法 accurat / inaccurat 精确/不精确； supported / contradicted 一

雅思阅读14种题型

雅思阅读14类题型解题技巧--Headings(找小标题) Headings(找小标题) 1. 题型要求：文章由若干段话组成，要求给每段话找个小标题。 小标题即指该段话的段落大意，中心思想，主旨。本题型不是让你写出每段话的小标题，而是要求从选项列表(list of headings)中选择。 在现在的考试中，选项的数目往往大大多于文章中段落的数目，有很多干扰选项，假如文章有五段话，选项的数目很可能是十个，甚至十二个。 题目形式：通常会在文中一段话上标出小标题，然后要求为余下段落选择小标题。通常是原文的第一段。 在考试中，该题型A类每次必考一组，共5题左右。有时会考两组，共十题左右。G类不是每次必考，考的时候，一般只考一组，共五题左右。 2. 解题步骤 (1) 先将例子所在的选项从选项列表中划去，同时，不读例子所在的段落。 每个选项最多只能用一次，也就是说，两个段落的小标题不可能是一个选项。这是因为不同段落的主旨肯定是不同的，原文将他们分为不同的段落，就是要分别说不同的内容。 有时，这类题目的要求中有这样一句话：You may use any heading more than once(你可以使用任何小标题超过一次)。这句话纯属误导，也就是说，即使题目的要求中有这句话或类似的话，任何选项也不可能被使用两次以上。 既然每个选项最多只能用一次，所以例子所在的段落已经使用的选项是不会被其它段落使用的，将其划去，以免被其它的段落误选。而且在选其它段落的答案时，可以不看该选项，节省时间。 例子所在的段落已经给出了小标题，所以不必阅读该段落了，以免浪费时间，直接从下一段读起。 (2) 不要先看选项，而要从文章入手，读一段话，做一道题。 如果先看选项，不仅花费的时间很多，而且极易受到干扰选项的误导。所以先不要看选项，而是要先读文章。 读文章的时候，不要一下把文章全读完，而是读一段话，做一道题。假如原文的第一段已作为例子给出，那么，先读第二段，然后到选项列表中找该段话的小标题。然后再读第三段，同样处理，直至完成。这样做，不仅速度快，而且准确率高。 (3)读每段话时，要抓住该段话的主题句和核心词汇。正确答案常常是主题句的改写。 读每段话时，并不是该段落全要仔细阅读。这样，既浪费时间，也不容易抓住重点。应该抓住该段话的的主题句。 先读该段话的第一句，然后，与选项列表中大各选项一一对应，确定正确答案，正确选项一般就该句话的改写。如果答案不能确定，应再读该段话的第二句，然后，与选项列表中的各选项一一对应。如果答案还是不能确定，应再读该段话的最后一句，再与选项列表中大各选项一一对应。如果还是找不到正确答案，则就需要阅读整段话了。 根据统计，段落的主题句在第一句的可能性超过50%，段落的主题句在第二句的可能性超过20%，段落的主题句在最后一句的可能性超过20%。也就是说，按照上述方法做这种题型，读完该段话的第一句，就能在选项列表中找出该段话的Heading, 这种可能性超过50%。整段话都需要阅读的可能性不到10%。 (4) 某段话的答案确定后，将它的选项从选项列表中划去。 前面已经讲过，每个选项最多用一次，也就是说，不可能两个段落的小标题是一个选项。所以，一段话的答案确定后，将它的选项从选项列表中划去，以免被误选为其它段落的小标题。而且在选其它段落的答案时，可以不看选项，节省时间。但某段话的答案不太确定，如第三
