雅思阅读笔记

1小时完成40道题，时间非常紧。得7分需做对31～32题。

拿到文章后先花2～3分钟浏览每段的第一句话，每篇文章总有1～2题就是第一句话，然后读题，每次2～3题。

题目是按顺序出的，若第3题在第2段，则第1、2题答案就在第3题前面找。

按题目中的关键词进行查找答案，关键词一般挑名词，如下可作为关键词：国名、人名、数字[数量、时间(若前面有before/after时,文中往往不会直接出现，会被替换掉)]、引号内的词、粗体缩写词。

答案成正态分布，连续4题答案一样是不可能的。

一、T/F/NG题型

1、同义替换型（包括同义词、同义结构）

例题：1、Few are more than five years old.

Q：Most are less than five years old.

出题思路：同义结构

2、Frogs are losing the ecological battle for survival, and biologists are a loss to explain their demise.

Q：Biologists are unable to explain why frogs are dying.

出题思路：同义词（当然包括近义词）

难点：要结合上下文来理解，不能只是对比词汇。

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

雅思阅读技巧总结

雅思阅读技巧总结 雅思分学术类和培训类两种，分别针对申请留学的学生和计划在英语语言国家参加工作或移民的人士。下面就随小编一起去阅读雅思阅读技巧总结，相信能带给大家帮助。 在雅思阅读考试的判断题中，一定要注意要求。比如：TRUR/FALSE/NOT GIVEN或YES /NO/ NOT GIVEN，要按要求写到答题纸上。 小站老师技巧：在做题的时候，现在题目中找到定位词和信号词，一般要注意名词。如果在题目中真的无法找到合适的名词，可以换其他词性。注意：最常暗示答案的几个连词是BUT，HOWEVER，WHILE，AND, ALSO, MOREOVER。 在雅思阅读的归纳题中，首先要用判断题的方法找到相应的定位词，目前归纳题有两种趋势，一种是题目贯穿在整篇文章，另一种是只隐藏在其中一二个段落。 配对题相对来说比较好做，一般“首尾句原则”就比较适合这种题型。 做雅思阅读选择题的时候，要注意通过提干把关键词和定位词划出来，然后对应所在的锻炼就可以。 在雅思阅读考试中，填空题的做法和归纳题差不多，都是先找定位词找出正确的段落，然后通过“就近原则”填空。 做雅思阅读简答题，首先要看清题目要求“NO MORE THAN

-WORDS”，一定要注意题目的字数限制。 在雅思阅读考试中，图表题的形式和要求相对来说比较严格，在实际做题中，首先要注意“序号”原则，其次要注意“形式一致原则”。 这类题型的干扰能力较大，“隐蔽性”也较大，考生要特别注意，另外，与HEADING题不同的是它们的答案通常不是在句首或句尾，而是在段落当中的某几句话，应该利用信号词“快速扫描法”进行定位段落，然后进行分析。

雅思阅读判断题型解题方法

雅思阅读判断题型解题方法 雅思阅读板块题型多样，其中判断题是必考题型，本文以剑桥雅思阅读真题为例，和大家解析雅思阅读中判断题型的解题方法。 剑桥雅思阅读真题解析判断题型解题方法 一、判断题题干有表示比较关系的词，考生需注意题目重点考察比较关系。 常见的比较关系词： 比较级：more/ less /adj-er than… 同级比较：as…as…/the same as…/equal/ like 试题中若出现以上比较关系词，需标记题中的比较对象(A 、B)，并明确比较逻辑(如A比B更聪明)，即可快速完成审题。如： 39. It is easier to find meaning in the field of science than in the field of art. – Test 2, Cambridge IELTS 11 审题步骤： 1.确定比较对象：A – field of science (科学领域)、B – field of art (艺术领域) 2.确定比较逻辑：科学的含义比艺术的含义更容易被人们理解(easier to find meaning)。 除了上述较明显的比较关系词外，出题人还会使用较隐晦的表达阐述比较关系，用以干扰考生的判断。因此，在审题时还需注意下列

具有隐含比较关系的表达： prefer to… compare to/compare with/contrast similar to…/similarly superior to/inferior to unusual 同样，考生在判定题干存在比较关系后，需标记题中的比较对象并明确比较逻辑。如： 35. Teachers say they prefer suggestopedia to traditional approaches to language teaching. – Test 1, Cambridge 7 1.确定比较对象：A –suggestopedia(暗示教学)、B –traditional approaches(传统教学方法) 2.确定比较逻辑：暗示教学比传统教学方法更受老师喜欢(teachers say they prefer)。 二、借助以下2种解题思路辅助解题： 1.题干中A、B存在比较关系但原文A、B不存在比较关系时，答案应为未提及——NOT GIVEN。 先看个简单的例子： 题干：喜茶比星爸爸贵得多。 原文：我的意中人是个盖世英雄，有一天他会踏着七彩祥云，排

剑桥雅思9阅读解析test2

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

雅思哥经验总结

写作的话，我比较推荐你去听顾家北的写作课程视频（某宝可以搜到，价格很便宜），他非常强调写作的逻辑以及词汇精准性，这才是真正符合雅思考试标准的。然后口语我推荐你去听钱多多的口语雅思课程（某宝也有），他有一套自己的教学方法，教你在面临不熟悉的话 题时，如何把思路打开，说出流畅英文，我本人上过，觉得帮助非常大。 【雅思口语】你了解雅思口语的加分项吗？ 大家都知道，雅思口语考试是face-to-face的交流，与一个人交流，无论他是否说着与你一 样的母语，都需要给他以眼神交流和肢体语言的交流，这样，你的答案才能更加出众，更加令人感到愉快。设想一下我们与同学之间交流的时候，是不是可以用眉飞色舞来形容呢?是不是聊到激动时手舞足蹈呢?那么，与你的雅思考官交流的时候，我们由于紧张，就省掉了 几乎所有的眼神交流与肢体语言，这样能有愉快的感觉吗?下面哥给大家一些建议，让你的 口语考试变为一种锻炼演技的上镜表演。 首先，眼神交流。眼睛是心灵的窗户，我们的窗户应该大方地向考官敞开，让他知道当 我们喜欢一件东西或一件事情时，是真正的喜欢。 其次，肢体语言的丰富也是可以加分的，因为我们在表达不容易被理解的，或是非常个性化的答案时，我们可以用手势来表达，比如说一个小男孩的身高，可以用手势来表示，加 上一句“Heis a bout thistall”，这样就比较清楚了。还有，我们聊到足球、篮球、音乐等等，可以加上自己的肢体语言，表达兴奋或与考官共鸣。我的一个学生是传媒大学播音专业的学生，他非常喜欢音乐，打扮比较嘻哈，虽然他的口语水平并非很高，但他聊到足球和音乐时， 用手势来表达自己的兴奋，得到考官的赞赏，分数也是增加了约0.5分到1分。可见，肢体语言是很重要的加分项。 与上面提到的眼神与肢体语言一样，语调、音量也很重要。语调是用来表达自己的情绪的，看过美剧和英剧的同学都知道，西方人在表达自己情绪时，语调与音量的变化比我们东

雅思阅读summary题型总结

雅思阅读summary题型总结 雅思阅读题型大大小小一共有十种，今天和大家一起讨论其中比较特殊的一种题型，它既可以是选择类的题又可以是填空类的题，即：总结题(summary)，总结题可以分成带词库(如：剑五P28)和不带词库(如：剑五P18)两种。 下面以剑桥雅思五P18 Q4-7为例看看不带词库的这类总结题应该如何解答。 首先，不带词库的总结题，是属于填空题这一大家庭，所以，第一步很关键的点是要看清题目对所填字数的要求，如在这里，题干中有这样的要求NO MORETHAN TWO WORDS，因此，在填写答案时，注意不要超过了这里所要求的字数; 第二，需要仔细地读题干，即summary。这里强调的是仔细读，而不是蜻蜓点水式的扫读。从题干中尽可能地获取更多有用信息，用这些信息来帮助解题。如在这里，当我们仔细读第四题所在的题干信息时，我们会发现空白处之前，有tookon 这个短语，意为“雇佣”，其次，还有a number of这个短语，意为“一些”，最后，在空白处后面，细心的同学会发现，有一个由who引导的非限定性定语从句，从这些点点滴滴的信息，我们可以推出此题所填的词应该是复数形式的表示人的词。有了这样的提示信息，回到原文找答案的过程才会有水到渠成的状态。 第三，回原文进行定位并找到答案。定位的过程，建议大家不要生硬地去寻找，有些同学不分题型也不用任何方法，一进入回原文的状态就从文章第一段第一句开始读，在这里要提醒大家的是，由于在上一步中已经通读过summary内容，在summary中出现过的特殊词是都可以用来帮助大家进行定位的，比如剑五P18这道题题干中就出现了“in1764，40，000 words，80 large notebooks，JamesBoswell”等大量的特殊词，这些词都能帮助大家进行快速定位。也许在这里有同学要提问了，为什么题干中的“Johnson，Dictionary”也是大写，却不是特殊词了呢?其实当大家开始看文章就知道，全文的标题是 Johnson'sDictionary，也就是说“Johnson，Dictionary”这两个词，将会是全文的主题词，它们将在文章中多次出现，所以这两个含有大写字母的词也不能算是能帮助我们解题的特殊词了。另外，这里需要提醒的是，即使整个summary题干中没有像这道题这么频繁地出现特殊词，也许下次大家需要完成的总结题里，只是一两个此类的特殊词，那这一到两个特殊词也可以作为大家解题的一个突破口。因为总结题大多数情况下是有序的。 最后，澄清一点大家对总结题的认知。很多同学会发出这样的感叹，“老师，我从小总结能力就很差，所以我的总结题总是做不对”。这种对总结题的认知是不科学的，本质上来说，完成这类总结题的过程就是在做单句填空，这是和大家所谓的总结能力无关的一个过程。更多考察的仍然是对题干语句的理解及回原文查找相关信息的能力，所以大家不需要担心自己母语方面总结能力不到位的情况会影响到解总结题的效率或状态。

雅思经典阅读Early Childhood Education

Early Childhood Education New Zealand's National Pony spokesman on education, Dr Lockwood Smith, recently visited the US and Britain. Here he reports on the findings of his tripand what they could mean for New Zealand's education policy. 【A】'Education To Be More' was published last August. It was the report of the New Zealand Government's Early Childhood Care and Education Working Group. The report argued for enhanced equity of access and better funding for childcare and early childhood education institutions. Unquestionably, that's a real need; but since parents don't normally send children to pre-schools until the age of three, are we missing out on the most important years of all? 【B】A 13-year study of early childhood development at Harvard University has shown that, by the age of three, most children have the potential to understand about 1000 words - most of the language they will use in ordinary conversation for the rest of their lives. Furthermore, research has shown that while every child is born with a natural curiosity, it can be suppressed dramatically during the second and third years of life. Researchers claim that the human personality is formed during the first two years of life, and during the first three years children learn the basic skills they will use in all their later learning both at home and at school. Once over the age of three, children continue to expand on existing knowledge of the world. 【C】It is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do less well in our education system. That's observed not just in New Zealand, but also in Australia, Britain and America. In an attempt to overcome that educational under-achievement, a nationwide programme called 'Headstart' was launched in the United States in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help the children of poorer families succeed in school. Despite substantial funding, results have been disappointing. It is thought that there are two explanations for this. First, the programme began too late. Many children who entered it at the age of three were already behind their peers in language and measurable intelligence. Second, the parents were not involved. At the end of each day, 'Headstart' children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment. 【D】As a result of the growing research evidence of the importance of the first three years of a child's life and the disappointing results from 'Headstart', a pilot programme was launched in Missouri in the US that focused on parents as the child's first teachers. The 'Missouri' programme was predicated on research showing that working with the family, rather than bypassing the parents, is the most effective way of helping children get off to the best possible start in life. The four-year pilot study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and who represented a cross-section of socio-economic status, age and family configurations. They included single-parent and two-parent families, families in which both parents worked, and families with either the mother or father at home. The programme involved trained parent?educators visiting the parents' home and working with the parent, or parents, and the child. Information on child development, and guidance on things to look for and expect as the child grows were provided, plus guidance in fostering the child's intellectual, language, social and motor-skill development. Periodic check-ups of the child's educational and sensory development (hearing and vision) were made to detect possible handicaps that interfere with growth and development. Medical problems were referred to professionals. Parent-educators made personal visits to homes and monthly group meetings were held with other new parents to share experience and discuss topics of interest. Parent resource centres, Located in school buildings, offered learning materials for families and facilitators for child care.
