雅思阅读 目标分6分的复习建议

很多准备到海外读语言、预科或是对雅思分数要求不高的准留学生，都有着一个共同的特点，那就是时间比较紧迫且对雅思分数要求并不是很高，比如雅思6分。这里就和大家分享雅思阅读的做题经验。

首先，我建议同学们不要上完辅导班就去参加考试。虽有趁热打铁之说，但是我相信绝大部分同学在上课期间已经把大部分的精力用于听讲和记笔记了，回家之后基本上就直奔安乐窝了。能够当天及时总结、整理课堂笔记并配以相应练习的同学的确是少之又少，而且这样也不现实，毕竟第二天还有大量的内容等待着同学们去聆听和记录。

所以，上完辅导班就去参加考试意义不大。那么怎么办呢?我个人建议在上完辅导班之后要拿出几天的时间来重新回顾一下课堂上老师所讲述的相关内容，很好地整理一下自己的课堂笔记，安静地捋一捋自己的思路。之后，要给予自己一点时间来消化和验证各种题型的特点和老师所给出的各类题型的解题思路与技巧。这个时间我个人建议至少要用一个月的时间。

其次，就是要从整体上把握雅思阅读各类题型特点。我们说知己知彼，百战不殆就是这个道理。只有对各个题型的特点进行深入地了解，才能对各个题型可能出现的问题应对自如。比如说，在搭配题当中，尽管题目与选项是一一对应的关系，但是这并不妨碍有的选项可能会出现被多次使用的情况发生。有的同学在做这种题目时，认为所给的选项是都要被用到的，所以才会出现了一道题目对应多个选项的错误答案。这就是对题目特点没有做到清晰了解所引发的后果。再比如说，有小标题匹配题的文章都是在文章之前放置该题型，真正的行文放在了该题的后面。在所有雅思阅读的考题中只有这一种情况是“题目在前，文章在后”的。不了解题目特点的同学往往在看完题目之后就去看上一篇文章，所以怎么读都找不到答案。

再次，就是要对各题型的解题思路和技巧进行实战演练。所谓解题思路和技巧就是针对不同题型的特点进行归纳、总结得出来的。不同的题型有不同的解题思路和技巧，对症下药方可药到病除。在TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN这个题型当中，有一种情况属于题型内部较难的一种，那就是归纳总结型的TRUE题。

比如说，剑5当中69页的第21题(Stanley found that the levels of sediment in the river water in Cairo were relatively high。) ，在原文当中的说法是Daniel Jean Stanley of the Smithsonian Institute noticed that water samples taken in Cairo, just before the river enters the delta, indicated that the river sometimes carries more than 850 grams of sediment per cubic meter of water – almost half of what it carried before the dams were built。

粗略一读，很难读出原文中有关sediment相对较高的陈述，但是仔细一看会发现原文中的almost一词便是这句话的点睛之笔。这就是通过副词来判断作者的感情色彩和语气(开罗地区河水携带泥沙的沉积量几乎是大坝修筑之前河水携带泥沙沉积量的一半)。在Summary的题型当中，有一种是选择填空式的总结摘要题，这种类型的出现也有它特有的解题技巧，特别是在考试时间比较紧的情况下运用，还是有一定规律性可循的。

比如剑5当中28页的第38-40题，这段话对原文的归纳总结程度相当高，对于文字功底一般的同学来说就算是读懂了文章也很难全部做对。但是我们不妨这样设想，既然是选择式的答案，就说明答案一定就在题目下方的列表当中，而且我们应该本着这样的信念：中国人说人话，老毛子他们也不说鸟语。他们的话也一定符合语言习惯和逻辑思维。那我们干脆就用选项直接往题目当中套，凡是符合条件的十有八九就是答案。

在5.5分的水平当中，绝大部分同学动能做到不看文章直接做题，达到3对2的命中率，最后一个空还是因为urgent那个单词不认识，不敢填所造成的。这样的正确率本身就说明对待这种题型所使用的非一般方法是有一定的科学性的，也是有一定的效果的。当然，这并不是说所有的题型都可以这样对待，在这里只是举例说明不同的题型会有不同的解题方法和技巧。

最后，就是要在熟悉题型和解题思路的基础上提高熟练度的问题，同学们在考场上对各种题型娴熟的应对也不是一朝一夕的事情。

在这个阶段同学们就是要把剑桥大学出版的雅思真本反复的练习，反复的研读。题目做错不可怕，怕就怕对完答案之后草草收场。一定要仔细揣摩作者的出题思路和题目中的考点，特别是TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN题，看看自己错在什么地方了，为什么错，作者的出题思路是怎样的，题目中或原文中的哪些词是题眼性的词……等等。这样一来二回，几个回合下来之后既巩固了自身对各题型题目特点和解题技巧的印象，又提高了做题的熟练度，可谓一石二鸟。有了这样的基础，再针对个人不同的情况进行富有针对性的加强与改善，雅思阅读考试就不再是高不可攀的难事了。

雅思阅读模拟练习及答案

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.
