READING PASSAGE 1
You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.
Typically, children do not end up on the streets due to a single cause, but to a combination of factors: a dearth of adequately funded schools, the demand for income at home, family breakdown and violence. The street may be attractive to children as a place to find adventurous play and money. However, it is also a place where some children are exposed, with little or no protection, to exploitative employment, urban crime, and abuse.
Children who work on the streets are generally involved in unskilled, labour-intensive tasks which require long hours, such as shining shoes, carrying goods, guarding or washing cars, and informal trading. Some may also earn income through begging, or through theft and other illegal activities. At the same time, there are street children who take pride in supporting themselves and their families and who often enjoy their work. Many children may choose entrepreneurship because it allows them a degree of independence, is less exploitative than many forms of paid employment, and is flexible enough to allow them to participate in other activities such as education and domestic tasks.
Street Business Partnerships
has worked with partner organisations in Latin America, Africa and India to develop innovative opportunities for street children to earn income.
The Bicycle Courier Service first started in the Sudan. Participants in this enterprise were supplied with bicycles, which they used to deliver parcels and messages, and which they were required to pay for gradually from their wages.
A similar program was taken up in Bangalore, India.
Another successful project, The Shoe Shine Collective, was a partnership program with the in the Dominican Republic. In this project, participants were lent money to purchase shoe shine boxes. They were also given a safe place to store
their equipment, and facilities for individual savings plans.
The Youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia is a joint program with the Red Cross Society and the Street youths are supported to start their own small business through business training, life skills training and access to credit.
Lessons learned
The following lessons have emerged from the programs that and partner organisations have created.
Being an entrepreneur is not for everyone, nor for every street child. Ideally, potential participants will have been involved in the organisation's programs for at least six months, and trust and relationship-building will have already been established.
The involvement of the participants has been essential to the development of relevant programs. When children have had a major role in determining procedures, they are more likely to abide by and enforce them.
It is critical for all loans to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic business and life skills.
There are tremendous advantages to involving parents or guardians in the program, where such relationships exist. Home visits allow staff the opportunity to know where the participants live, and to understand more about each individual's situation.
Small loans are provided initially for purchasing fixed assets such as bicycles, shoe shine kits and basic building materials for a market stall. As the entrepreneurs gain experience, the enterprises can be gradually expanded and consideration can be given to increasing loan amounts. The loan amounts in programs have generally ranged from US$30-$100.
All programs have charged interest on the loans, primarily to get the

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

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
