雅思考试的听说读写四项考察中,往往阅读是最容易得分的项目。所以要想取得一个较高的雅思成绩,一定在在雅思阅读上冲刺高分。下面小编就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。
雅思阅读如何冲刺高分
一、雅思阅读词汇与长难句
雅思阅读要想拿到7分以上,需要掌握足够的雅思词汇量和充足的语法知识。词汇是阅读的基础,只有掌握足够的词汇,才能保证读懂文章,做出题目。阅读词汇量至少需要掌握在5000-6000的水平。
在雅思阅读中,还会存在一些长难句,给理解文章信息,解题都带来了很大的困难。分析长难句所需要的语法知识,基本上在高中都已经讲过了,所以在做雅思阅读时,如果觉得阅读文章有困难,可以再回溯一下高中的知识。
二、合理安排考试时间
很多同学在阅读中失分,并不是因为自己的能力不足,而是因为没有时间。还没读懂文章,看清题目就匆匆下笔,最后的正确率可想而知。所以在考试时,一定要合理规划好自己的时间。
在平时训练时,就要合理安排好三篇文章的答题时间。严格按照自己制定的计划来执行。遵循先紧后松的原则,第一篇文章阅读时间控制在15分钟左右,第二篇文章控制在20分钟以内,第三篇23分钟左右。在做题时,熟练运用skanning和skimming的阅读方法,避免逐字逐字的精读文章。
三、熟悉题型,转化思维
很多考生在做雅思阅读时,会出现一种思维错误,钻牛角尖的问题。即使告诉你正确答案了,也难以理解为什么选这个答案。这主要是我们的思维惯式和不熟悉题型导致的。
在做题时,总是按照自己的思路去理解题目,而不去揣测出题人的想法。要想改变这种情况,最重要的方法就是刷题。在刷题的过程中,熟悉各种题型,洞悉出卷人的想法,冲破自己的思维惯性。做到熟悉雅思文章的出题点。

Food agency takes on industry over junk labels
Felicity Lawrence
Thursday December 28,2006
The Guardian
1.Consumers are to be presented with two rival new year advertising campaigns as the Food Standards Agency goes public in its battle with the industry over the labelling of unhealthy foods.
2.The Guardian has learned that the FSA will launch a series of 10-second television adverts in January telling shoppers how to follow a red,amber and green traffic light labelling system on the front of food packs,which is designed to tackle Britain‘s obesity epidemic.
3.The campaign is a direct response to a concerted attempt by leading food manufacturers and retailers,including Kellogg’s and Tesco,to derail the system.The industry fears that traffic lights would demonise entire categories of foods and could seriously damage the market for those that are fatty,salty or high in sugar.
4.The UK market for breakfast cereals is worth £1.27bn a year and the manufacturers fear it will be severely dented if red light labels are put on packaging drawing attention to the fact that the majority are high in salt and/or sugar.
5.The industry is planning a major marketing campaign for a competing labelling system which avoids colour-coding in favour of information about the percentage of “guideline daily amounts” (GDAs) of fat,salt and sugar contained in their products.
6.The battle for the nation‘s diet comes as new rules on television advertising come into force in January which will bar adverts for unhealthy foods from commercial breaks during programmes aimed at children.Sources at the TV regulators are braced for a legal challenge from the industry and have described the lobbying efforts to block any new ad ban or colour-coded labelling as “the most ferocious we’ve ever experienced”.
7.Ofcom‘s chief executive,Ed Richards,said: “We are prepared to face up to any legal action from the industry,but we very much hope it will not be necessary.” The FSA said it was expecting an onslaught from the industry in January.Senior FSA officials said the manufacturers’ efforts to undermine its proposals on labelling could threaten the agency‘s credibility.
8.Terrence Collis,FSA director of communications,dismissed claims that the proposals were not based on science.“We have some of the most respected scientists in Europe,both within the FSA and in our independent advisory committees.It is unjustified and nonsensical to attack the FSA’s scientific reputation and to try to undermine its credibility.”
9.The FSA is understood to have briefed its ad agency,United,before Christmas,and will aim to air ads that are “non-confrontational,humorous and factual” as a counterweight to industry‘s efforts about the same time.The agency,however,will have a tiny fraction of the budget available to the industry.
10.Gavin Neath,chairman of Unilever UK and president of the Food and Drink Federation,has said that the industry has made enormous progress but could not accept red “stop” signs on its food.
11.Alastair Sykes,chief executive of Nestlé UK,said that under the FSA proposals all his company’s confectionery and most of its cereals would score a red.“Are we saying people shouldn‘t eat confectionery? We’re driven by consumers and what they want,and much of what we do has been to make our products healthier,” he said.
12.Chris Wermann,director of communications at Kellogg‘s,said: “In principle we could never accept traffic light labelling.”
13.The rival labelling scheme introduced by Kellogg’s,Danone,Unilever,Nestlé,Kraft and Tesco and now favoured by 21 manufacturers,uses an industry-devised system based on identifying GDAs of key nutrients.Tesco says it has tested both traffic lights and GDA labels in its stores and that the latter increased sales of healthier foods.
14.But the FSA said it could not live with this GDA system alone because it was “not scientific” or easy for shoppers to understand at a glance.

Sun‘s fickle heart may leave us cold
25 January 2007
From New Scientist Print Edition.
Stuart Clark
1.There’s a dimmer switch inside the sun that causes its brightness to rise and fall on timescales of around 100,000 years - exactly the same period as between ice ages on Earth.So says a physicist who has created a computer model of our star‘s core.
2.Robert Ehrlich of George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, modelled the effect of temperature fluctuations in the sun’s interior.According to the standard view, the temperature of the sun‘s core is held constant by the opposing pressures of gravity and nuclear fusion.However, Ehrlich believed that slight variations should be possible.
3.He took as his starting point the work of Attila Grandpierre of the Konkoly Observatory of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.In 2005, Grandpierre and a collaborator, Gábor ágoston, calculated that magnetic fields in the sun’s core could produce small instabilities in the solar plasma.These instabilities would induce localised oscillations in temperature.
4.Ehrlich‘s model shows that whilst most of these oscillations cancel each other out, some reinforce one another and become long-lived temperature variations.The favoured frequencies allow the sun’s core temperature to oscillate around its average temperature of 13.6 million kelvin in cycles lasting either 100,000 or 41,000 years.Ehrlich says that random interactions within the sun‘s magnetic field could flip the fluctuations from one cycle length to the other.
5.These two timescales are instantly recognisable to anyone familiar with Earth’s ice ages: for the past million years, ice ages have occurred roughly every 100,000 years.Before that, they occurred roughly every 41,000 years.
6.Most scientists believe that the ice ages are the result of subtle changes in Earth‘s orbit, known as the Milankovitch cycles.One such cycle describes the way Earth’s orbit gradually changes shape from a circle to a slight ellipse and back again roughly every 100,000 years.The theory says this alters the amount of solar radiation that Earth receives, triggering the ice ages.However, a persistent problem with this theory has been its inability to explain why the ice ages changed frequency a million years ago.
7.“In Milankovitch, there is certainly no good idea why the frequency should change from one to another,” says Neil Edwards, a climatologist at the Open University in Milton Keynes, UK.Nor is the transition problem the only one the Milankovitch theory faces.Ehrlich and other critics claim that the temperature variations caused by Milankovitch cycles are simply not big enough to drive ice ages.
8.However, Edwards believes the small changes in solar heating produced by Milankovitch cycles are then amplified by feedback mechanisms on Earth.For example, if sea ice begins to form because of a slight cooling, carbon dioxide that would otherwise have found its way into the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle is locked into the ice.That weakens the greenhouse effect and Earth grows even colder.
9.According to Edwards, there is no lack of such mechanisms.“If you add their effects together, there is more than enough feedback to make Milankovitch work,” he says.“The problem now is identifying which mechanisms are at work.” This is why scientists like Edwards are not yet ready to give up on the current theory.“Milankovitch cycles give us ice ages roughly when we observe them to happen.We can calculate where we are in the cycle and compare it with observation,” he says.“I can‘t see any way of testing [Ehrlich’s] idea to see where we are in the temperature oscillation.”
10.Ehrlich concedes this.“If there is a way to test this theory on the sun, I can‘t think of one that is practical,” he says.That’s because variation over 41,000 to 100,000 years is too gradual to be observed.However, there may be a way to test it in other stars: red dwarfs.Their cores are much smaller than that of the sun, and so Ehrlich believes that the oscillation periods could be short enough to be observed.He has yet to calculate the precise period or the extent of variation in brightness to be expected.
5.False
See para.5:for the past million years, ice ages have occurred roughly every 100,000 years.Before that, they occurred roughly every 41,000 years.
6.False
See para.7:“In Milankovitch, there is certainly no good idea why the frequency should change from one to another,” ...Nor is the transition problem the only one the Milankovitch theory faces.
7.Not Given
See para.8:if sea ice begins to form because of a slight cooling, carbon dioxide?is locked into the ice.That weakens the greenhouse effect.(The passage doesn抰 mention anything about locking Co2 into ice artificially.)
8.True
See para.9:there is no lack of such mechanisms.“If you add their effects together, there is more than enough feedback to make Milankovitch work,”?“The problem now is identifying which mechanisms are at work.” This is why scientists like Edwards are not yet ready to give up on the current theory.
9.True
See the sentences in para.9 (According to Edwards, 卙e says.“I can’t see any way of testing [Ehrlich‘s] idea to see where we are in the temperature oscillation.”) and para.10 (Ehrlich concedes this.“If there is a way to test this theory on the sun, I can’t think of one that is practical).
10.constant
See para.2:According to the standard view, the temperature of the sun‘s core is held constant by the opposing pressures of gravity and nuclear fusion.
11.orbit
See para.6:Most scientists believe that the ice ages are the result of subtle changes in Earth’s orbit, 匛arth‘s orbit gradually changes shape from a circle to a slight ellipse and back again roughly every 100,000 years.
12.instabilities
See para.3:?i style=’mso-bidi-font-style:normal‘》magnetic fields in the sun’s core could produce small instabilities in the solar plasma.These instabilities would induce localised oscillations in temperature.
13.cycles
See para.4:…allow the sun‘s core temperature to oscillate around its average temperature of 13.6 million kelvin in cycles lasting either 100,000 or 41,000 years.
14.random
See para.4:Ehrlich says that random interactions within the sun’s magnetic field could flip the fluctuations from one cycle length to the other.
