【雅思阅读技巧】揭秘雅思阅读做题的3字诀
雅思阅读考试追求速度与准确度的完美结合。有了速度,但是错题多或者做题正确率高然而速度很慢都是会影响雅思阅读成绩的。雅思备考中,掌握了基础知识后,考生在勤奋练习的时候掌握一些阅读技巧将达到事半功倍的效果。下面,小站老师向大家介绍雅思阅读做题策略。
三字雅思阅读做题策略“快、准、狠”:找关键词的速度要快!定位到原文的位置要准!做题的感觉一定要狠劲十足!快是基于“准”和“狠”上的。
雅思阅读做题策略——准:定位信息
其实很多学生都败在了“准”字上,定位信息的能力总是薄弱环节。经过对剑桥真题的研究总结,我发现雅思阅读考试的考点很有规律可循!考法已经从初级的定位词考到现在的关系定位上了, 举例因果关系用于判断题型中:
T:The rise of the middle class is associated with the demand of dictionaries。
Q:The rise of the middle class has led to the demand of dictionaries。
此题中题目与原文都含有因果关系,且因果相同,仅是同义词组替换罢了。所以我会在第一次课,就给学生一整套我自己总结的定位方法,在后续的课程中我会把定位方法贯穿起来教授给学生,让学生在头脑中形成固定的体系。这样在做题的过程中就能够做到快,狠,准了!
雅思阅读做题策略——狠:巧用三大法宝
狠劲十足,要有以下三个法宝:较大词汇量,句子结构分析和有效的阅读方法及技巧。
词汇量是阅读的基础,尤其强调核心词汇的同义转换能力。这里不仅仅局限同词性同类别的同意替换,还要注意在真题题目有很多这样的考法,比如说在题目中一看到genetic(基因)这个词能够马上反应它在文章中肯定以DNA或是biological的形式出现。
句子结构分析也很重要,也就是说能够在短时间内从一个长句里提取出来有用的信息。雅思阅读难句虽然多, 但是类型相对较少,很容易掌握。 基本可以分为以下三类:
从句(主要包括主语从句,宾语从句,定语从句和同位语从句)
针对主语从句和宾语从句要快速的找出从句中的主谓宾结构,针对定语从句要关键看主句,若从句很长,只看第一个从句部分就可以了,因为定语从句是修饰成分,在雅思阅读中基本不会成为考点。
大量的插入同位语或短语(可以忽略不看)
放在名词后面或整个句子之后的分词或不定式做修饰(可以忽略不看)
阅读难的原因很大程度上由于句子成分多难理解,而且近年的考试一直反映出阅读文章句子较长,结构复杂的状况,所以熟悉句子结构分析法尤为重要。
前面两点是属于英语基础能力,而最后一点:有效的阅读方法及技巧是在雅思考试解决问题的最后一步,是画龙点睛的一步。
总之,雅思阅读出题是有很大的规律性的,如果做到同时提高自己的英语基础能力,同时掌握其中规律,将极大提高做题正确率和完成度。
雅思考试阅读模拟试题及答案解析
new weapon to fight cancer
1. British scientists are preparing to launch trials of a radical new way to fight cancer, which kills tumours by infecting them with viruses like the common cold.
2. If successful, virus therapy could eventually form a third pillar alongside radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the standard arsenal against cancer, while avoiding some of the debilitating side-effects.
3. Leonard Seymour, a professor of gene therapy at Oxford University, who has been working on the virus therapy with colleagues in London and the US, will lead the trials later this year. Cancer Research UK said yesterday that it was excited by the potential of Prof Seymour's pioneering techniques.
4. One of the country's leading geneticists, Prof Seymour has been working with viruses that kill cancer cells directly, while avoiding harm to healthy tissue. "In principle, you've got something which could be many times more effective than regular chemotherapy," he said.
5. Cancer-killing viruses exploit the fact that cancer cells suppress the body's local immune system. "If a cancer doesn't do that, the immune system wipes it out. If you can get a virus into a tumour, viruses find them a very good place to be because there's no immune system to stop them replicating. You can regard it as the cancer's Achilles' heel."
6. Only a small amount of the virus needs to get to the cancer. "They replicate, you get a million copies in each cell and the cell bursts and they infect the tumour cells adjacent and repeat the process," said Prof Seymour.
7. Preliminary research on mice shows that the viruses work well on tumours resistant to standard cancer drugs. "It's an interesting possibility that they may have an advantage in killing drug-resistant tumours, which could be quite different to anything we've had before."
8. Researchers have known for some time that viruses can kill tumour cells and some aspects of the work have already been published in scientific journals. American scientists have previously injected viruses directly into tumours but this technique will not work if the cancer is inaccessible or has spread throughout the body.
9. Prof Seymour's innovative solution is to mask the virus from the body's immune system, effectively allowing the viruses to do what chemotherapy drugs do - spread through the blood and reach tumours wherever they are. The big hurdle has always been to find a way to deliver viruses to tumours via the bloodstream without the body's immune system destroying them on the way.
10. "What we've done is make chemical modifications to the virus to put a polymer coat around it - it's a stealth virus when you inject it," he said.
11. After the stealth virus infects the tumour, it replicates, but the copies do not have the chemical modifications. If they escape from the tumour, the copies will be quickly recognised and mopped up by the body's immune system.
12. The therapy would be especially useful for secondary cancers, called metastases, which sometimes spread around the body after the first tumour appears. "There's an awful statistic of patients in the west ... with malignant cancers; 75% of them go on to die from metastases," said Prof Seymour.
13. Two viruses are likely to be examined in the first clinical trials: adenovirus, which normally causes a cold-like illness, and vaccinia, which causes cowpox and is also used in the vaccine against smallpox. For safety reasons, both will be disabled to make them less pathogenic in the trial, but Prof Seymour said he eventually hopes to use natural viruses.
14. The first trials will use uncoated adenovirus and vaccinia and will be delivered locally to liver tumours, in order to establish whether the treatment is safe in humans and what dose of virus will be needed. Several more years of trials will be needed, eventually also on the polymer-coated viruses, before the therapy can be considered for use in the NHS. Though the approach will be examined at first for cancers that do not respond to conventional treatments, Prof Seymour hopes that one day it might be applied to all cancers.
Questions 1-6 Do the following statements agree with the information given in the reading passage? For questions 1-6 write
TRUE if the statement agrees with the information
FALSE if the statement contradicts the information
NOT GIVEN if there is no information on this in the passage
1.Virus therapy, if successful, has an advantage in eliminating side-effects.
2.Cancer Research UK is quite hopeful about Professor Seymour’s work on the virus therapy.
3.Virus can kill cancer cells and stop them from growing again.
4.Cancer’s Achilles’ heel refers to the fact that virus may stay safely in a tumor and replicate.
5.To infect the cancer cells, a good deal of viruses should be injected into the tumor.
6.Researches on animals indicate that virus could be used as a new way to treat drug-resistant tumors.
