在雅思阅读备考中,考生最关心的怎么才能提高分数。今天小站君为大家带来提升阅读正确率的三要素,考生可以根据自己实际情况,分析自己到底差哪一个要素。下面小编就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。

提升雅思阅读正确率的三要素

首先的影响雅思阅读做题原因,当然是词汇。

任何一篇内容相对复杂的阅读文章,都不可避免地出现大量生僻词语或者是难度相对较大的单词。从文章的选材而言,范围是十分丰富的,主要来自世界各国主要的英文报刊杂志,内容涉及任何一个国家的文化、经济、自然和科技等。而IELTS考试所考查的,是实际运用语言的能力,所以在考试中真正需要理解的单词,或是题目中真正考查到的单词,往往是英语阅读中的一些最核心的单词。这些单词虽然数量不多,难度不大,但却是必须掌握的。就考试而言,掌握6000左右的常用词汇,即大学六级大纲中所要求的词汇是必须的。

第二的影响雅思阅读做题原因及解决办法,复杂的句型结构。

有些同学的词汇量已经达到了6000左右,但是依然感觉读不懂文章,这就是因为文章中充斥着 大 量 结 构 复 杂 难 以 把 握 的 复 杂 句 。 如 :The challenge now is to develop policies and practices based on a presumption of shared responsibility between men and women, and a presumption that there are potential benefits for men and women, as well as for families and the community, if there is greater gender equality in the responsibilities and pleasures of family life. 这 是 一 个 相 对 复 杂 的 句 子 , 主 干 是the challenge now is to develop policies and practices, 从based on到句子的结尾处是由过去分词短语充当的状语。后一个presumption后面有一个由that引导的从句,充当presumption的同位语。在同位语的后面,有一个if 引导的条件状语从句。一般而言,对同学们造成障碍的是并列句或并列复合句,倒装结构,所以在训练时可以精挑一个语段做仔细分析。

第三的影响雅思阅读做题原因及解决办法,题型多样化。

这个障碍使原本已经拥有相当英语语言实力的考生,在考试中因为缺乏对题型的理解,或是被众多题型干扰,不能正常发挥。一些必考题型如list of headings, summary, T/F/NG等,可以作为练习重点。如summary题是很多同学感到头痛的题型,普遍感到非常难找。其实不然,只要记住两大原则即可。原则一,顺序原则。summary题的答案排列顺序,必定与文章的行文顺序一致。原则二,完整的summary,不仅应该能够体现文章本身所表达的思想含义,而且必须是符合语法规律的英语文章。所以根据语法也可以进行判断。

在准备考试的过程中,除了要做IELTS考题之外,还要进行泛读和快速阅读。

泛读可以选择一些英美主流媒体的文章,在网站上可以找到,目的是熟悉单词和句型。快速阅读就是用扫描文章的方法对其结构有大致的了解,并把握其主旨。同时,在重点句子和词汇上做出标记。这种方法对阅读考试帮助极大,平时可多加练习。另外,为了提高阅读的速度还要养成良好的阅读习惯,不能边看边用嘴跟着读,眼、嘴并用必会降低阅读速度;一旦发现生词(这种情况绝大多数同学都肯定要遇到),先不要紧张,要通过英语构词法(前缀、词根和后缀)来分析推测词义,或结合上下文、前后词语去猜测,如果根据上下文及前后词语还是无法确切了解其真正含义,可以再看一下这个词对整个句子所构成的影响是肯定的,还是否定的,实际上这对你理解作者的意图已足够了,实在不行就做上记号,将来看一看是否影响答题,如无影响就坚决忽略。

雅思备考:如何在阅读中借鉴写作思路

许多学生认为,动辄900-1000字的阅读文章对于只有150和250字的雅思作文借鉴意义不大,事实上,两者在主题、构思、句式、用词等方面有着很大的相似性。本文中,专家将就此一一说明:

1. 主题性

阅读文章和雅思写作题目涵盖的范围比较广,具有极强的主题性,其重合话题有:环境、社会、教育三大方面。阅读文章的内容能帮助考生更好地理解题目的文化背景,积累观点素材,在备考过程中,考生可以将这两项结合起来。

剑四test 2的reading passage 1"Lost for Words"极好的回答了雅思一道较难的文化类考题:what are the reasons for the loss of many cultures and languages? How to solve this problem?"

许多学生因为缺少对这一背景的了解而无从下手,我们完全可以看看这篇阅读文章提供了哪些素材:

1 "What makes a language endangered is not just the number of speakers, but how old they are. If it is spoken by children, it is relatively safe。"

2 "…people reject the language of their parents… It begins with a crisis of confidence, when a small community finds itself alongside a larger, wealthier society…"

3 "Quite often, governments try to kill off a minority language by banning its use in public or discouraging its use in schools, all to promote national unity。"

4 "… They cannot refuse to speak English if most commercial activity is in English…"

这些都是十分准确而又全面的回答,说明了许多语言丧失的原因,甚至连语言丧失对于文化的连带影响也有所涉及:"Language is also intimately bound with culture, so it may be difficult to preserve one without the other。"

这篇文章在后文也对如何解决这一问题做出了回答:

" …a growing interest in cultural identity may prevent the direst prediction from coming true….'apprentice' programs have provided life support t several indigenous languages。"

值得注意的是,这篇阅读文章的结构是遵循"背景—原因—解决方式"的架构来安排的,对于写作结构也有很好的架构作用。

2.流程图的描述

2010年雅思写作Task I图画题频现,许多学生不太熟悉流程图,对于如何描述其过程极为担心。其实分析发现,这样的句式在说明型的阅读文章中屡见不鲜,这类阅读文章常常涉及某个事物的发展过程或者制作方式,其遣词造句都是可以进行学习和利用。

剑五Test 2 Reading passage 1是一篇关于对现代塑料的说明文章,其中有一段就是对塑料制作过程的描述,很多句式都可以"拿来我用"。

首先是对这一流程的总体概括"The original patent outlined a three-stage process, in which phenol and formaldehyde were initially combined under vacuum inside a large egg-shaped kettle。" 我们可以根据这个句式来描写2009年9月一道关于玻璃瓶子回收过程的题目,如:

A three-stage process is outlined, in which the used bottles are collected and re-produced in the plant. "

接着,制作过程中的细节按照先后顺序铺开,并结合被动语态与准确的动词选择:"The resin was allowed to cool in shallow trays until it hardened, and then broken up and ground into powder. Other substances were then introduced, including…. . In the last stage, the heated Bakelite was poured into a hollow mould of the required shape …",其中的"cool, break, grind, pour"等动词都是在工作流程中的高频词汇。"then, in the last stage"也可以作为极好的连接过渡词。

剑五Test 4 Reading passage 2关于强化玻璃的说明文中也有类似的描述句式:"… used to make glass, and nickel can also be introduced by fragments of nickel alloys falling into the molten glass. As the glass is heated, these atoms react to form …"其中的"be used to, introduce, melt, heat"也都可以用在描述中。

3.图表的描述

由于阅读文章中也不乏对于数据的说明,我们也很容易找到可以在雅思图表作文中使用的句式。

剑四 Test 2 Reading passage 2中的一段"According to…, 18% of patients…; 12% suffer from…, which is only 1% more than those…. . Those suffering from… represents 7% of their patients, and candida sufferers represent an equal percentage. … represent 6% and 5% respectively, and a further 4% see… "

这是一段很好的排序段范例,在描写数据的同时也比较了大小,句式变化多样,考生也不妨学习一下。

4.辩论文章观点的表述

尽管没有与雅思写作辩论文章完全对应的形式,阅读文章中也有很多可以效仿的观点表述句式,与学生动辄"some people think…"的单调表述相比,其表达生动多样。在此进行了一些总结:

如"… reject this, pointing out that… ", "When it comes to…,…", "… believe the main reason for… is…", "there is a widespread belief that…", "It was once assumed that…. . However,…", "There is an abundance of evidence to support the belief that…" , "the answer to… depends on…",等。

总之,作为较为正式的英文表达,雅思阅读是极好的写作模仿对象。考生可以从阅读文章里汲取许多好的句式,以克服在日常写作中"中式英语"的问题。

5. 用词

雅思写作对词汇的要求主要是准确性和多样性,许多学生对这一标准没有明确的认识和把握,而在阅读文章中可以很清楚地了解到什么样的词汇更适合书面表达。

双语阅读:英国威廉王子大婚纪念品开售

Britain's royal wedding is still four months away, but the first official memorabilia went on sale Monday - a range of wedding china personally approved by the couple.

Prince William's office said the items had been commissioned by the palace department responsible for the royal family's art collection and made in Stoke-on-Trent in central England, a traditional center for British ceramics.

The three souvenirs - a tankard, plate and pill box - each feature the couple's entwined initials, the prince's coronet emblem and the date of the wedding - April 29, 2011.

On sale at royal palaces and a website, profits from the collectables will be donated to the charity which curates the royal family's artworks, known as the Royal Collection.

"The Royal Collection has been working on the design since around the time of the engagement - it's a very fast moving process," William's office said in a statement.

His office said that the prince and his future bride had both approved the wedding merchandise.

William and Kate Middleton made her first public appearance on Saturday since announcing their engagement, attending a cancer charity fundraising event in eastern England.

The couple are to be married at Westminster Abbey on April 29 after a lengthy courtship.

距离英国威廉王子大婚还有4个月之久,但首批官方纪念品已于本周一开始出售。据悉,这套婚礼纪念瓷器获得了威廉王子及未婚妻的个人认可。

威廉王子办公室表示,这套纪念品由负责收藏皇家艺术品的皇室部门委托制做,并在英格兰中部素有英国瓷都之称的特伦特河畔斯托克生产。

首批纪念品有三款瓷器,杯子、盘子和药盒,均印有威廉和凯特盘绕在一起的名字首字母、威廉王子的皇冠徽章、以及婚期2011年4月29日。

纪念品在皇家宫殿和一家网站出售,所获利润将捐赠给负责管理皇家艺术品的慈善机构——皇家珍藏。

威廉王子办公室在一份声明中说:“‘皇家珍藏’自威廉王子订婚前后才开始设计纪念品,效率非常高。”

办公室还表示,威廉王子和准王妃都认可了这套结婚纪念品。

上周六,威廉王子携准王妃凯特•米德尔顿在英格兰东部参加了一场癌症慈善筹款活动,这是自两人宣布订婚后首次公开亮相。

在相恋多年后,两人将于明年4月29日在威斯敏斯特教堂举办婚礼。

双语阅读:威廉大婚 英国发行邮票庆祝

The Royal Mail will publish stamps commemorating the engagementof Prince William to Kate Middleton.

为庆祝威廉王子和凯特米德尔顿大婚,英国皇家邮政将会发行纪念邮票。

The stamps, which will be available for purchase on April 21 – notably the Queen's Birthday – will feature two portraits shot by world-renowned photographer Mario Testino. The first stamp replicates the official engagement portrait taken in the Royal Council Chamber, while the second is a less formal shot snapped in the Palace's Cornwall Room.

邮票将在4月21号也就是女王的生日当天发行,邮票上的照片都是有举世闻名的摄影师Mario Testino拍摄。第一张邮票上印有的是在皇家会议室中拍摄的正式订婚照,而第二张邮票上的照片则是在康沃尔宫房间中拍摄的比较生活化的照片。

This is not the Prince's first time on a Royal Mail stamp. He was previously featured on a sheet of stamps celebrating The Queen Mother's 100th birthday in August of 2000, and, in 2003, his 21st birthday was commemorated by stamp as well.

这不是威廉王子第一次登上皇家邮政发行的邮票了。在2000年8月庆祝女王百岁生日时他在发行的邮票上出现过,2003年为庆祝威廉王子21岁生日,英国皇家邮政也发行过邮票。
