雅思精读,你真的知道该怎样做么
近日有学生向我反映:“老师,我发现最近练了十篇左右的精读之后,阅读速度和做题速度提高了不少。”我告诉她,“阅读技巧只是锦上添花,精读才是真正的雪中送炭。”其实无论是英文、中文还是其他语言,只有靠阅读量的日积月累,才能真正的提高阅读能力。那么,精读有什么方法,怎样做才能提高精读效率呢?
精读是需要慢工出细活的,将地道的雅思文章分析到位,不仅提高了自己的词汇量和长句分析能力,更对自己写作的布局谋篇也有着显著的辅助作用。下面我们将对如何精读做出详尽的解释。
一、精读时间
精读一定是在按照考试规定时间做完一篇文章或套题并核对完答案之后才可进行的工作。
二、精读必备物品
纸质版剑桥教材、铅笔、荧光笔、笔记本。
三、精读内容之——词
对于很多同学来说,雅思文章中的生词是心中永远的痛。大家可将句子中不认识的词,用荧光笔在原文中勾画出,同时在生词旁边标上序号,按照1、2、3顺次排列下去。
在借助字典或电子词典查阅生词之前我们需要做如下工作:
1. 判断是否可以通过上下文的时态、逻辑关系或词根、词缀猜测出生词的意思;
2. 如果不认识这个词,是否会严重影响对整个句子意思的把握——如果会影响对整个句子意思的把握,那么这个词一定要认识;但如果不影响理解句意,那可根据自己的时间安排选择是否识别记忆该单词。
在考试中,我们是没有任何外部工具用来查找单词的。因此这两个步骤不仅可以帮助我们在实践中练习和掌握猜词的方法和节奏,还可以缓和对于生词的恐惧心理。
四、精读内容之——句
对于很多考生来说,雅思阅读的句子不仅生词多而且长度也很壮观,经常搞不清楚句子中谁是什么成分、谁在修饰谁,觉得句子很难读懂。其实一切都没有大家想得那么难,对于句子的把握主要是尽力读懂句子主干。雅思阅读对于语法的考查完全不同于高中英语,不是让你在which\in which\who \that中做出选择,所以请化繁为简,读懂句子先从抓句子最简主干开始,就是搞清:谁,做了什么,这就是最简单的主谓结构。在主谓两个成分中,最好寻找的是谓语,因为谓语是由动词组成的。请大家记住谓语的“三姨太”:时态、语态、情态。找到了这三位“姨太”,一个句子的主框架就基本清晰了起来。
五、精读内容之——篇
当词、句被我们逐一攻坚之后,最后的重点就落在了段落、篇章上。当把每一句的意思读懂之后,可以划出段落的主题句,最后纵观文章的全部段落,体会文章的结构。日积月累之后,会渐渐发现并掌握雅思阅读文章结构和段落结构的规律。
例如实验说明型的文章。作者围绕实验展开讨论。先介绍实验目的、条件准备和设置,接着描述实验过程,然后预测结果,随后再揭示真实结果,如果和预测相同,则分析原因;如果和预测不符,分析原因并且进行深一步讨论。
我们用剑五第二篇Nature or Nurture 来举例。首段作者交代实验目的,研究人们是否对leader的指示会无条件遵循;第二段介绍了实验设置——用电击来惩罚犯错学生;下一段是全部实验进程;第四段,预测没人会实施到450伏的电击;第五段,揭示真实结果,超过60%的参与者都实施了450伏电击;后面三段对animal aggression instinct和social environment 这两个原因进行分析;最后一段,作者并未给出结论,只是提出This is the problem of modern sociobiology。
我们通过抓每段的段落主旨,不只是了解了文章的段落布局,更会为我们解决雅思两大超难题型---list of heading &段落信息匹配助一臂之力。
六、精读内容之——题
题目是考生拿分的关键。在精读阶段,我们可以再次细读题目,并将题目翻译出来。然后就是最关键的一步------总结同义替换,即将题目中的词汇与在文章中所对应的替换点全部找出,并记录在笔记本上。
很多学员说精读是一件太劳神的事儿,其实我们没有发现无论在学习中还是在生活中,越是劳神的事儿就越对我们帮助很大吗?刚开始练习精读的学员们不要急于求成,每天精读3-4个自然段即可,慢慢积累。精读的习惯一旦养成,并坚持下去,你会明显感觉到自己的词汇量在上升、自己对句子如何断句的敏感度在提高、自己的阅读速度在迅猛增长,做题的正确率和速度自然也是随之提升。
以上就是精读的一些方法和技巧,希望对备战雅思的你有帮助,新东方祝大家考试顺利,梦想成真。
雅思阅读:四步搞定选词类Summary考题
先来看一个雅思阅读中的经典题目。
标题:GREYING POPULATION STAYS IN THE PINK
题型分布:选词summary--句子配对题(题型种类少,填空题目多达9题,可以按照本题顺序做)
解题步骤:
一、审题
(1) 题目提醒(无提示考察哪些段落)
(2) 小标题(无小标题提示考察内容)
(3) 题型顺序(首个题型,数目多,按照首段顺序读)
二、解题
(1) 选项词性/褒贬分组
选项词性既有名词,又有形容词,更有doing结构。而且,有两组反义词falling、 increasing,earlier、 later,可分别为同一空的备用选项。
(2) 预判
对于Q14的词性及色彩预判难点在于判断首个空前is的真正主语是谁。这里涉及到长难句分析,采用括号法将句子中的修饰成分去掉,我们抽出的句子主干如下:Research ( carried out by scientists in the United States ) has shown that the proportion ( of people over 65 suffering from the most common age-related medical problems ) is ______ 这里面我们总结出一个修饰结构sth./sb. + ( doing sth. / done by sth. / 介词+名词),括号内的部分都是修饰性结构,我们真正关注的是这些结构前面的名词。去掉括号内的结构后,我们发现我们要的答案其实在这样一个结构中 proportion is _________ 。能力比较强的同学其实还会发现14、15、16空含有并列结构 and和also,句子色彩是保持一致的。
(3) 定位
第一句话题干中有United States和65作为显性定位词,而且从首段读开始读符合常理。通过预判寻找proportion 或其替换词。原文第2段含有结构 smaller proportion满足了要求,其他部分也与刚刚划出的括号内的结构有对应。
(4) 解题
Q14中词库中falling 对 smaller 做了替换,即为答案,反映出老年人患病人口减少的情况。Q15与之用and并列,表示这种speed如何,根据并列结构‘结构相同,色彩一致’的原则,选increasing 问题不大。原文中rate 与speed 对应,rate (at which these diseases are declining )continues to accelerate. 注意括号法的使用,即使考鸭们不熟悉accelerate(加速),根据 continue 代表动作的持续加之与前面内容色彩一致,increasing依旧为答案。Q16通过than的出现判断此空为比较级,earlier, later, more都符合,题目中 be donging及in the past 的出现表明在进行今昔对比。根据色彩一致性,疾病应该对老年人影响越来越晚为好。文章中第3段最后一句通过数据比较给出了答案即later。
Q17、Q18中间用到了but衔接,难度并不大,答案依次为M 、J。需要指出的是Q19 Q20同样适用了并列结构,尤其是Q19答案词性并不是常见的to do 结构。根据我刚刚提到的并列的两部分‘结构相同’的原则,可知Q19为与changes并列的名词。Q19 Q20 答案依次为N 、K。而需要指出的是Q21不少考鸭容易误选independent, 是因为忽视了reduction 这种表示色彩正负的关键词的提示,原文与之对应的为第7段的drop。所以,会顺利选出G。最后,Q22所在句子本身定位不明显,但有明显的比较级less做定位,回到原文第7段尾句,我们找到了答案financial burden 替换为cost。
总结:
题目的本身解析如上,但我们更希望做到举一反三,为各位考鸭总结出本题涉及到的两个主要考点并列关系及比较结构(涉及到的转折及因果关系以后有机会再作分享)。
1. 并列
1)and, or, as well as, not only ... but (also)... , both ... and ... , either ... or ... , neither ... nor ...
2)also, as well, too
3)in addition to ... , apart from ...
4)one ... another... , some ... others ...
5)多逗号结构
6)分号并列结构
2. 比较
1)比较级 -er, more, less
2)数据比较
3)词汇
A. increase, rise, grow, climb, go up, soar, surge, improve
B. decrease, fall, drop, dip, decline, plunge, lessen, reduce (reduction), cut
C. the same as, be similar to, as ... as
雅思阅读全真练习系列:Next Year Marks the EU's 50th Anniversary of the Treaty
Next Year Marks the EU's 50th Anniversary of the Treaty
A. After a period of introversion and stunned self-disbelief, continental European governments will recover their enthusiasm for pan-European institution-building in 2007. Whether the European public will welcome a return to what voters in two countries had rejected so short a time before is another matter.
B. There are several reasons for Europe’s recovering self-confidence. For years European economies had been lagging dismally behind America (to say nothing of Asia), but in 2006 the large continental economies had one of their best years for a decade, briefly outstripping America in terms of growth. Since politics often reacts to economic change with a lag, 2006’s improvement in economic growth will have its impact in 2007, though the recovery may be ebbing by then.
C. The coming year also marks a particular point in a political cycle so regular that it almost seems to amount to a natural law. Every four or five years, European countries take a large stride towards further integration by signing a new treaty: the Maastricht treaty in 1992, the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997, the Treaty of Nice in 2001. And in 2005 they were supposed to ratify a European constitution, laying the ground for yet more integration—until the calm rhythm was rudely shattered by French and Dutch voters. But the political impetus to sign something every four or five years has only been interrupted, not immobilised, by this setback.
D. In 2007 the European Union marks the 50th anniversary of another treaty—the Treaty of Rome, its founding charter. Government leaders have already agreed to celebrate it ceremoniously, restating their commitment to “ever closer union” and the basic ideals of European unity. By itself, and in normal circumstances, the EU’s 50th-birthday greeting to itself would be fairly meaningless, a routine expression of European good fellowship. But it does not take a Machiavelli to spot that once governments have signed the declaration (and it seems unlikely anyone would be so uncollegiate as to veto it) they will already be halfway towards committing themselves to a new treaty. All that will be necessary will be to incorporate the 50th-anniversary declaration into a new treaty containing a number of institutional and other reforms extracted from the failed attempt at constitution-building and—hey presto—a new quasi-constitution will be ready.
E. According to the German government—which holds the EU’s agenda-setting presidency during the first half of 2007—there will be a new draft of a slimmed-down constitution ready by the middle of the year, perhaps to put to voters, perhaps not. There would then be a couple of years in which it will be discussed, approved by parliaments and, perhaps, put to voters if that is deemed unavoidable. Then, according to bureaucratic planners in Brussels and Berlin, blithely ignoring the possibility of public rejection, the whole thing will be signed, sealed and a new constitution delivered in 2009-10. Europe will be nicely back on schedule. Its four-to-five-year cycle of integration will have missed only one beat.
F. The resurrection of the European constitution will be made more likely in 2007 because of what is happening in national capitals. The European Union is not really an autonomous organisation. If it functions, it is because the leaders of the big continental countries want it to, reckoning that an active European policy will help them get done what they want to do in their own countries.
G. That did not happen in 2005-06. Defensive, cynical and self-destructive, the leaders of the three largest euro-zone countries—France, Italy and Germany—were stumbling towards their unlamented ends. They saw no reason to pursue any sort of European policy and the EU, as a result, barely functioned. But by the middle of 2007 all three will have gone, and this fact alone will transform the European political landscape.
H. The upshot is that the politics of the three large continental countries, bureaucratic momentum and the economics of recovery will all be aligned to give a push towards integration in 2007. That does not mean the momentum will be irresistible or even popular. The British government, for one, will almost certainly not want to go with the flow, beginning yet another chapter in the long history of confrontation between Britain and the rest of Europe. More important, the voters will want a say. They rejected the constitution in 2005. It would be foolish to assume they will accept it after 2007 just as a result of an artful bit of tinkering.
