站在前人的肩膀上 学习高分经验斩获雅思阅读9分

1.阅读8.5

阅读的话自己在考前主要就是复习了一遍剑4~10的错误,把错误找回原文的对照然后分析。每道问题都要找到原文中的对应,这点非常重要,你找不到原文中对应的具体位置就不要妄下结论。雅思考试中除了考察大意、部分matching题以外,别的题目一般都是文中的某句话有着具体的对照。我觉得帮助自己实现飞跃的还是《平行阅读法》这本书,确实对于自己节约时间和提高正确率帮助很大。把书上内容和联系做一遍以后,就要按照平行阅读法来联系。具体也像书中所说的,不必拘泥于书本,关键是在真题练习当中找到边做题边阅读,平行答题的感觉。剑4~10我原先基本每篇要错10个甚至以上。经过总结和《平行阅读法》这部书的练习,做模拟实战时错误都能控制在5个以内,同时还有4~5分钟的时间剩余。实际考试的时候自己确实有些紧张,做的有点慢。时间刚刚好用完,不过每篇都限定在20分钟内搞定,所以这种方法对于阅读速度不高的大多数同学还是很有帮助的。

今天跟一个学姐聊起来,才意识到其实帮助自己阅读飞跃的不仅仅是平行阅读法,还有对《8分万能作文的阅读》。没错,就是8分万能作文这本书。当时她问到我怎么阅读文章中的长句子,我才想到自己对阅读长句子的技巧都来自于8分。你有没注意到8分上面的考官范文都是很长的句子,往往一个很长的段落只有3~5个句子,但每个句子都很长。当时我文章字数写不够,所以很用心的学习8分上的长句子怎么写出来的,对于句子的结构成分我也用笔勾画出来,同时把经典句型记在本子上。回到阅读当中,面对文章中的长句子,你也就不那么害怕和陌生了。

另外我们谈到了学术雅思涉及的一些专业名词问题(听力和阅读都有),我觉得这个大家不要担心,因为这个绝对不会影响你的理解。不认识某方面的专有名词,你只要把它们当做对应的A、B、C、D就好了,A有怎么样作用,A和B是什么关系,这就足够啦。

2.阅读8.5

其实我虽然雅思准备时间很短但是我在此之前准备过9个月的GRE,虽然诸多原因导致最后结果不理想,但是我单词的的确确,老老实实背下来了.因此我的阅读经验结合GRE备战分为内力和招式两大部分.

内力:

首先我想建议每个烤鸭都把对内力的重要性提高到一定的程度.本人也知道什么机经什么无词阅读法在IELTSer中间流传广泛,但是这些东西并不能真正提高我们的实力,最多运气好碰到几篇机经,做对几道有明确态度方向的地无词题.但是这纯属碰运气的事,就像买彩票,中大奖是小概率事件,不中奖才是正常的.

英语学习没有捷径,花多少功夫就得到多少结果. 就像武功,修炼内力才是正道,内力雄浑出招才能平凡中现神奇.只追求招数新奇迟早走火入魔.对于烤雅思阅读来说内力就是词汇量,对英语句式结构的熟悉程度。

词汇量:

词汇量无疑是重要的,阅读的时候如果单词都会就顺着读下去了。但是如果碰到有词不会,不管你是选择重读还是不管跳过,都会卡一下。这个卡一下是是十分浪费时间的,如果老是卡住想都不用想肯定不能按时做完了。而且阅读的不连贯也会影响我们对文章的理解程度。

大部分人觉得词汇量这个东西都是一点一滴积累的,没什么捷径可走.的确这是正确的,但是我们可以根据记忆曲线完美的配置我们的背单词的安排. 这里向大家推荐一下杨鹏背词法.这种方法可以在相对较短的时间内达到单词的识记,对阅读来说这种程度差不多够用了.保收估计雅思单词差不多一个星期就够了。

当然缩短背词周期的的代价是增加背词的密度,负担相对较重.必须指出的是这样背下来的单词通常不知道发音不会拼写,对于听力、口语来说没多大作用。背完后大约有十分之一的单词会读会写,所以对写作来说也会有莫大好处。

推荐大家时间充分去背下GRE词汇, 用书就用红宝书(GRE词汇精选,俞敏洪的)就够了。因为我发现我做的雅思真题里面难词都是GRE词汇。

句式:

句式也是内力很重要的一个环节。也许很多同学会觉得雅思阅读中有句子读不懂,于是重新回过头再去读一遍。这是绝对错误的。很浪费时间。导致这种事发生的原因有两个:一个是单词不认识,一个是句式不熟悉。

对于单词前面已经解决,而对于句式我也没有什么好办法,土办法倒是有一个:背难句。我当时准备GRE时背的时《GRE,gmat难句》,这本书里面列举了GRE中各种结构的难句。我觉得分析每句话的语法结构不好,因为养成看不懂就分析结构的习惯到考场上也去分析分析时间根本不够用,如果大家不信可以自己尝试一下。于是我直接拿着难句背诵,背了没有几句就有语感了,再回头看阅读文章就轻松很多。当然GRE难句的难度很大,居多native speaker都不能用扫读法读下来,需要做好心理准备。过程是痛苦的,前途是光明的。

最后再说说武功招式吧:

在熟悉阅读题的时候我一开始做完一篇文章平均耗时17分钟,搞得不好就有文章做21分钟。我一开始是按照GRE的方法去做的:先快速阅读文章(8分钟左右读完),以后阅读问题回头去文章里寻找答案。这导致了一个问题:我做完一篇文章就把文章看了四到五遍了,重复看文章浪费了大量时间。)

后来我看到网上有人说到了平行阅读法,感觉说得有道理。试了试,基本做完一篇文章最多读3遍。平均耗时下降到了14分钟,最快一篇12分钟就做完了。

最后的最后我想说做阅读的时候一定要回到文章里找答案,不要凭借印象做题,很容易错。

3.雅思9分

孤认为很有必要单独说一下雅思阅读的做题顺序问题。您要是觉得,自己已经掌握顺序了,直接掠过我~节省宝贵时间哈~

是这样的,以前我之所以没有说,是因为我觉得这是最最常识的东西,以为所有人都理所当然的明白的。就没有说,觉得说了我就更显罗嗦了。但是后来我慢慢发现,有很多很多同学,他们的做题方法居然是有点那个问题的。而且是很大的问题。影响时间影响速度,当然就影响了出手的准头,也就是正确率。甚至有很多人,(我 Q上为雅思阅读加了50人左右,但是我一般都是万年隐身。。。大家有事尽管举手发言~有照顾不到的,忘了回的,敬请原谅则个~我忘了,你一直催我就好了~),他们实力都非常非常强的,但是居然做题顺序不对。我估计纠正过来后,8分没有问题~

好,so少刚刚听我要加个更新差点死了,我就不罗嗦了,直接正题。

孤还是强调,雅思阅读没有任何技巧性可言!而我说的的做题顺序,您就当是一个知识普及。。。是必须必备非常基础的东西,这个顺序比你的词汇量还要重要。

听我从头讲起~~

首先必须知道,雅思的出题顺序是大乱序,小顺序。意思就是说,每种题型之间,为乱序。选择和yesorno肯定是乱序,不按题号出现在原文内容中。但是每种题型内部,一般来说,为顺序。即他们在原文中的位置,出现位置是按题号的顺序。这个规律简直就是一定的。但是我好像在剑7中,发现过一次反例。这是剑 34567中,唯一一次反例。可以忽略不计。所以童鞋们,只要记得大乱序,小顺序就好。

那么有了这种顺序应该怎么做题呢?。。。(语气好像找抽啊。。。。大家不要砸我~)

好,那我们就按题型来记题。

嗯,先看题再看原文,这种废话就不多说了,阅读都一样。(但是我还真的遇到过先看文章的神人。。。童鞋们!先看题目再做文章啊!)

看题的时候,每种题型看两个题,划出这两个题的关键词。注意,是只看两个!不要看一个题型中所有的题!那就意味着你遇到多少种题型就要看多少遍文章!

好,然后,带着你记住的这些题,去看文章。我估计一般情况下,一般啊,一次只需要记六个keywords就够了。下面的就不用我说了吧?每找出一个答案,就看该题型中的下一个题目,以此类推。没做完之前,每种题型,记两个题。

好,我们具体问题具体分析一下。

我随手打开剑5,T1,P1。我拿到这片文章,先看题目,每种题型记两个题,所以我先记的是,45,和89。这片的多选稍后说。比如我先找到8了,(我胡说的啊,没看题,就是比如一下~),那么我心中记得题目就变成了4,5,9,10。假设我又找到4了,那我心中记得就变成了,5,6,9,10.。希望我解释完了大家不要更糊涂了。。。.

但是也有可能,我都做完一种题型了,另一种的题型我还一个没有找到,很正常。

至于这篇的多选,肯定不能你一次只看两个选项的。但是第一次看题的时候呢,要是全把这选项记住,费时间,以后还忘。我觉得这种题,可以第一遍看题型的时候,略过。等你看完一段了,scan选项中有没有你要的东西。这么一段一段的看。

又至于matching,我说,所有人,就是加我阅读的所有人,都为matching而痛不欲生。。。所以不要担心,matching就是难。要死大家一起死。matching这种题目,有时关键词很简单,就是大写的人名。所以省去了记关键词的麻烦~我觉得matching就在于理解。别无他法。。。。

还有就是说,不少人都说,我觉得雅思文章很简单,我都能看懂,但是我就是做不对。。宝贝儿啊~~~~你都看懂了怎么可能做不对呢~~还是没有看懂嘛!小弱我总结了一下,一般是同义词替换的问题。就是说,不明白原文中的这句话,是对应题中的那个词的。理解才是王道。

要有信心啊童鞋们~我这个口语听力废人阅读都有8哦~阅读在四项中确实是最容易的了~我还知道一个女孩,实际上实力很强!最低7.5吧,但是就是死活没有信心。。。做题之前,要有这种气魄:什嘛玩意儿啊~蒙小孩呢~我肯定都能做对。根本不值一提。即使100人中99人和我答案不一样,我也认为一定是我对了!

雅思考试阅读理解训练试题及答案

From The Economist print edition

How shops can exploit people's herd mentality to increase sales

1. A TRIP to the supermarket may not seem like an exercise in psychological warfare—but it is. Shopkeepers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they had intended. Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors. Now researchers are investigating how "swarm intelligence" (that is, how ants, bees or any social animal, including humans, behave in a crowd) can be used to influence what people buy.

2. At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome, Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani, a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology, described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon. Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted: for instance, by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store, forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them. Mr Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes, also of the Florida Institute of Technology, set out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on the herd instinct. The idea is that, if a certain product is seen to be popular, shoppers are likely to choose it too. The challenge is to keep customers informed about what others are buying.

3. Enter smart-cart technology. In Mr Usmani's supermarket every product has a radio frequency identification tag, a sort of barcode that uses radio waves to transmit information, and every trolley has a scanner that reads this information and relays it to a central computer. As a customer walks past a shelf of goods, a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product. If the number is high, he is more likely to select it too.

4. Mr Usmani's "swarm-moves" model appeals to supermarkets because it increases sales without the need to give people discounts. And it gives shoppers the satisfaction of knowing that they bought the "right" product—that is, the one everyone else bought. The model has not yet been tested widely in the real world, mainly because radio frequency identification technology is new and has only been installed experimentally in some supermarkets. But Mr Usmani says that both Wal-Mart in America and Tesco in Britain are interested in his work, and testing will get under way in the spring.

5. Another recent study on the power of social influence indicates that sales could, indeed, be boosted in this way. Matthew Salganik of Columbia University in New York and his colleagues have described creating an artificial music market in which some 14,000 people downloaded previously unknown songs. The researchers found that when people could see the songs ranked by how many times they had been downloaded, they followed the crowd. When the songs were not ordered by rank, but the number of times they had been downloaded was displayed, the effect of social influence was still there but was less pronounced. People thus follow the herd when it is easy for them to do so.

6. In Japan a chain of convenience shops called RanKing RanQueen has been ordering its products according to sales data from department stores and research companies. The shops sell only the most popular items in each product category, and the rankings are updated weekly. Icosystem, a company in Cambridge, Massachusetts, also aims to exploit knowledge of social networking to improve sales.

7. And the psychology that works in physical stores is just as potent on the internet. Online retailers such as Amazon are adept at telling shoppers which products are popular with like-minded consumers. Even in the privacy of your home, you can still be part of the swarm.

11. 答案:YES。 (第6段第1 句:In Japan a chain of convenience shops called RanKing RanQueen has been ordering its products according to sales data from department stores and research companies.)

12. 答案:YES。 (最后一段最后一句:Even in the privacy of your home, you can still be part of the swarm. home应该算是everyday life的一部分

雅思考试阅读难句分析:倒装句

英语句子通常有两种语序,一种是自然语序(Natural Order),又称正装语序,另一种便是本章要介绍的倒装语序(Inverted Order)。

从形式上分,倒装有两种:全部倒装(Full Inversion)和部分倒装(Partial Inversion)。谓语动词  全部位于主语之前的称作全部倒装,例如:In front of me stood a boy. (我面前站着一个男孩。)只将谓语动词的一部分(通常是助动词或情态动词)放在主语之前的称作部分倒装,例如:Only in this way can we do it better. (只有这样,我们才能做得更好一些)从使用目的区分,倒装也有两种情况,即语法倒装(Grammatical Inversion)和修辞倒装(Rhetorical Inversion)。语法倒装是由于语法规则的要求而必须进行的倒装,例如:Who called me just now?(刚才谁打给我?)修辞倒装是出于修辞的需要而把正常语序转为倒装语序,例如:Out rushed the children.(孩子们冲了出去)H·Fowler归纳倒装的原因有九种,即疑问、命令、惊叹、假设、平衡、衔接、点题(signpost)、否定和韵律(metrical)。这并不完全,还应加上强调和为使描写更加生动两种。在英语中,倒装句俯拾即是,用得非常普遍,但汉语却很少用,所以在翻译倒装句时,仍应按原文词序翻译,并照顾汉语的习惯,以保持译文句子结构流畅、匀称。本章只列举在阅读文章中常遇到的倒装现象,以使考生熟悉英语和汉语在语序上的差异。

1. Jack London poured into his writings all the pain of his life,the fierce hatred of the bourgeoisie that it had produced in him,and the conviction it had brought to him that the world could be made a better place to live in if the exploited would rise up and take the management of society out of the hands of the exploiters.

第一层:Jack London 主 poured 谓 into his writings 状 all the pain 宾 of his life,定 the fierce hatred 宾 of the bourgeoisie 定 that it had produced in him ,定语从句1 and 连 the conviction 宾 it had brought to him 定语从句2 that the world could be made a better place to live in if the exploited would rise 同位语从句 up and take the management of society out of the hands of the exploiters .

第二层:(定语从句1)that 引 it 主 had produced 谓 in him 状

(定语从句2)it 主 had brought to 谓 him 间宾

(同位语从句)that 引 the world 主 could be made 谓 a better place 宾 to live in 定 if the exploited would rise up and take the man- 状语从句 agement of society out of the hands of the exploiters.

第三层:(状语从句)if 引 the exploited 主 would rise up 谓 and 连 take 谓 the management 宾 of society 定 out of the hands of the exploiters 状

要点 本句为倒装句。如果宾语较长或宾语结构比较复杂,往往将宾语后置,采用倒装语序,以使句子保持平衡。本句的宾语由三个并列的名词构成,且第二和第三个名词后又带有限定性定语从句,故采用倒装语序,将动词poured的宾语放在状语into his writings之后。all the pain……,the fierce hatred……和the conviction……是poured的三个并列的宾语;其中,第一个that引导的定语从句修饰hatred,it had brought to him修饰conviction,在该定语从句中其关系代词作宾语而被省略;第二个that从句则是conviction的同位语从句。

译文 杰克·伦敦在作品中倾注了他一生中所遭受过的一切痛苦,倾诉了这种痛苦在他心中产生的对资产阶级的刻骨仇恨以及由此产生的这样的信念:如果被剥削者起来反抗,从剥削者手中夺回社会管理权,那么世界就会变成一个人人有好日子过的地方。

2. Along with them goes social mobility,ambition to rise in the urban world,a main factor in bringing down the births in Europe in the nineteenth century.

分析:Along with them 状 goes 谓 social 定 mobility,主 ambition 主 to rise in the 定 urban world,a main factor 同位语 in bringing down the births in Europe in the nineteenth century. 定

要点 这是一个完全倒装句,主语是social mobility……century,谓语动词是goes.ambition to rise in the urban world 是对 social mobility的进一步说明。a main factor在意思上相当于which is a main factor in……century,修饰 ambition to ……world.本句可按原文顺序翻译。

译文 伴随他们而来的是社会的流动性,人们强烈地希望在城市里发展,这是19世纪欧洲出生率下降的主要因素。

3. For example,they do not compensate for gross social inequality,and thus do not tell how able an underprivileged youngster might have been had he grown up under more favorable circumstances.

要点 句中had he grown up …… 是虚拟条件中省略if的倒装结构。翻译时,要把if的含义译出。主句为并列谓语…… compensate …… , and …… tell结构。句中how引导宾语从句。虚拟条件句为宾语从句的状语。根据汉语的表达习惯,条件状语常前置。

译文 例如,它们并不弥补明显的社会不公;因此,它们说明不了一个物质条件差的年轻人,如果在较好的环境下成长,会有多大的才干。

4. So involved with their computers do the children become that leaders at summer computer camps often have to force them to break for sports and games.

要点 本句的基本结构是the children become so involved with their computers that……。因为把so involved with their computers 放在了句首,所以句子必须倒装。因为该句的动词是become,所以用do来帮助倒装。翻译时宜用正装语序。

译文 参加计算机夏令营的孩子们对计算机如此着迷,以至夏令营的负责人常常不得不强迫他们停下来参加体育运动或做游戏。

5. As the Internet becomes more and more commercialized,it is in the interest of business to universalize access - after all,the more people online,the more potential customers there are.

要点 破折号后面的部分是用来解释句子主句的,在结构上是部分倒装句,属(从句)the+比较级……,(主句) the +比较级句型,这样的句子一般主谓不倒装。翻译时可用正装。universalize:使普遍化;使通用化。

译文 随着国际互联网越来越商业化,普及上网会对商家有利,因为上网的人越多,潜在的顾客数量就越多。

6. Only after studies provided evidence of the harmful effects of such programs has it been possible to modify TV programming policies.

要点 only是加强语气的词语,位于句首时,主谓语要倒装。这样的句子一般可按原文顺序翻译。has it been ……是主句,正装应是it has been……。

译文 只有大量调研提供出证据表明此类节目产生不良影响后,电视节目审查政策才有可能改变。

7. Unpopular as red has been in the past at the moment it is a favorite hair style.

要点 这是一个主从复合句,主句是at the moment it is a favorite hair style.在让步状语从句中,作为表语的unpopular 放在 as前面位于句首,构成部分倒装。形容词+as从句在意思上等于although……,一般翻译成“虽然…”。注意这个形容词不能放在动词后面,否则整个句子意思不同。

译文 虽然过去红色不受欢迎,眼下红色染发剂却备受青睐。

8. Lonely was seeing his daughter only twice a week since the divorce.

要点 这是一个完全倒装句,主语是seeing his daughter……divorce.翻译时可正装。

译文 他只是觉得离婚后每周只能看女儿两次让他感到孤独。

9. So perilous was this one that he was the only security officer on the site.

要点 该句的原结构是this one was so perilous that……,因为把 so perilous 放在句首,所以句子要主谓倒装。翻译时可正装。

译文 做现场惟一的保安官员,这差使还真有点危险。

10. In front of me stood the essential tools of the intelligence officer''s trade - a desk,two telephones,one scrambled(改变频率使不被窃听)for outside calls,and to one side a large green metal safe with an oversized combination lock on the front.

要点 这是一个并列句,由and连接。第一个分句中破折号前面是一个完全倒装句,主语是 the essential tools of the intelligence officer''s trade.破折号后面的部分是用来解释trade.One scrambled for outside calls 等于one of which was scrambled for outside calls.第二个分句也是一个完全倒装句,只是在 to one side后面省去了动词stood.该句可按原文语序翻译,第二个分句中省去的动词应翻译出来。

译文 展现在我面前的是情报官员这一行的基本用具——一张写字台、两部,其中一部是变频加密外线,在我旁边是一个大型的绿色金属保险柜,其正面有一把特大号复合密码锁。
