2、rame work of the Text, Contextual Clues, Coherence and Cohesion)。这些阅读技能和策略(Reading Strategies)的缺乏导致他们阅读的时候不分主次，不会灵活调整阅读速度，只看见个别细节而不能把握它们之间的逻辑关系。所以他们在阅读里只能解出那些针对个别细节的小题目，对阅读技能要求比较高的题型，比博彩通如List of Headings(段标题，考察*线索结构和把握段落章主题的能力)和True / False /NotGiven题(考察观点与事实、主观与客观的区别以及作者态度等)，就明显力不从心。根据我当时的统计，他们在这些
3、题目上的正确率不足50%。在最近的雅思阅读里，这两种题型加起来超过了总题量的一半，这样的正确率当然没法得到好分数。雅思阅读低分原因之二、偏重解题技巧，忽视阅读实力因为着急尽快出国留学，所以这些同学往往是在已经拿到Conditionaloffer的情况准备应考，并必须在Deadline之前提交合格的雅思成绩。这样的学习计划使他们往往只在考试前去“抱佛脚”，听说有什么“阅读秘笈”、“9分方案”就趋之若骛。这些技巧一学就会，一开始在他们还不熟悉雅思的情况下也显得非常有效做第一张卷子得4分，了解技巧后再做马上就升到5分。实际上并不是这些阅读技巧有多少神奇之处，只是由陌生到熟悉以后自然的提高，然而同学们
4、还是对此深信不疑。但是雅思阅读毕竟是现在所有出国英语考试中阅读单项最难的一个，*最长、题型最多、难度最大，对于阅读技能的考察非常全面深入。迷信解题技巧而忽视实力的后果就像Castle in the air，吹得越神的技巧最后也让人摔得越惨。我在阅读单项上考过9绝不是全凭技巧。所以我在课上从不鼓吹说9分靠万能技巧;相反，我还经常提醒同学：技巧有局限，9分靠实力。雅思阅读低分原因之三、以考试代替学习，没有积累Deadline的压力导致这些同学仓促考试、匆忙准备，结果就是第一次考试大都没过关。第一次失利后，Deadline的压力又迫使他们马上去报三个月后的考试。因此，学习计划完全是考试型的，而没有真
5、正积累型的学习。把上次已经证明失败的做法简单重复一遍而没有总结经验教训，也没有提高和改进，这又有什么意义呢?阅读是最需要积累的一项语言能力，词汇、句法乃至常见*写法、思路，没有一段时间循序渐进的积累和能力的提升，阅读的能力Competence就不会有实质的提高。只凭技巧(Skills)没有实力(Competence)是不可能有长久的效果的。事实也证明：在技巧发挥到了极致，他们的分数上升也就到了头：长期徘徊在6分以下，就是因为他们的阅读实力还没有达到相应水准的缘故。雅思阅读素材积累：The magic of diasporasImmigrant networks are a rare brigh
6、t spark in the world economy. Rich countries should welcome themTHIS is not a good time to be foreign. Anti-immigrant parties are gaining ground in Europe. Britain has been fretting this week over lapses in its border controls. In America Barack Obama has failed to deliver the immigration reform he
7、promised , and Republican presidential candidates would rather electrify the border fence with Mexico than educate the children of illegal aliens. America educates foreign scientists in its universities and then expels them, a policy the mayor of New York calls national suicide.This illiberal turn i
8、n attitudes to migration is no surprise. It is the result of cyclical economic gloom combined with a secular rise in pressure on rich countries borders. But governments now weighing up whether or not to try to slam the door should consider another factor: the growing economic importance of diasporas
9、, and the contribution they can make to a countrys economic growth.Old networks, new communicationsDiaspora networksof Huguenots, Scots, Jews and many othershave always been a potent economic force, but the cheapness and ease of modern travel has made them larger and more numerous than ever before.
10、There are now 215m first-generation migrants around the world: thats 3% of the worlds population. If they were a nation, it would be a little larger than Brazil. There are more Chinese people living outside China than there are French people in France. Some 22m Indians are scattered all over the glo

Small concentrations of ethnic and linguistic groups have always been found in surprising placesLebanese in west Africa, Japanese in Brazil and Welsh in Patagonia, for instancebut they have been joined by newer ones, such as west Africans in southern China.These networks of kinship and language
12、make it easier to do business across borders. They speed the flow of information: a Chinese trader in Indonesia who spots a gap in the market for cheap umbrellas will alert his cousin in Shenzhen who knows someone who runs an umbrella factory. Kinship ties foster trust, so they can seal the deal and
13、 get the umbrellas to Jakarta before the rainy season ends. Trust matters, especially in emerging markets where the rule of law is weak. So does a knowledge of the local culture. That is why so much foreign direct investment in China still passes through the Chinese diaspora. And modern communicatio
14、ns make these networks an even more powerful tool of business.Diasporas also help spread ideas. Many of the emerging worlds brightest minds are educated at Western universities. An increasing number go home, taking with them both knowledge and contacts. Indian computer scientists in Bangalore bounce
15、 ideas constantly off their Indian friends in Silicon Valley. Chinas technology industry is dominated by sea turtles (Chinese who have lived abroad and returned).Diasporas spread money, too. Migrants into rich countries not only send cash to their families; they also help companies in their host cou

A Harvard Business School study shows that American companies that employ lots of ethnic Chinese people find it much easier to set up in China without a joint venture with a local firm.Such arguments are unlikely to make much headway against hostility towards immi
17、grants in rich countries. Fury against foreigners is usually based on two (mutually incompatible) notions: that because so many migrants claim welfare they are a drain on the public purse; and that because they are prepared to work harder for less pay they will depress the wages of those at the bott
18、om of the pile.The first is usually not true (in Britain, for instance, immigrants claim benefits less than indigenous people do), and the second is hard to establish either way. Some studies do indeed suggest that competition from unskilled immigrants depresses the wages of unskilled locals. But ot
19、hers find this effect to be small or non-existent.Nor is it possible to establish the impact of migration on overall growth. The sums are simply too difficult. Yet there are good reasons for believing that it is likely to be positive. Migrants tend to be hard-working and innovative. That spurs produ
20、ctivity and company formation. A recent study carried out by Duke University showed that, while immigrants make up an eighth of Americas population, they founded a quarter of the countrys technology and engineering firms. And, by linking the West with emerging markets, diasporas help rich countries
21、to plug into fast-growing economies.Rich countries are thus likely to benefit from looser immigration policy; and fears that poor countries will suffer as a result of a brain drain are overblown. The prospect of working abroad spurs more people to acquire valuable skills, and not all subsequently em
22、igrate. Skilled migrants send money home, and they often return to set up new businesses. One study found that unless they lose more than 20% of their university graduates, the brain drain makes poor countries richer.Indian takeawaysGovernment as well as business gains from the spread of ideas throu

Foreign-educated Indians, including the prime minister, Manmohan Singh (Oxford and Cambridge) and his sidekick Montek Ahluwalia (Oxford), played a big role in bringing economic reform to India in the early 1990s. Some 500,000 Chinese people have studied abroad and returned, mostly in t
24、he past decade; they dominate the think-tanks that advise the government, and are moving up the ranks of the Communist Party. Cheng Li of the Brookings Institution, an American think-tank, predicts that they will be 15-17% of its Central Committee next year, up from 6% in 2002. Few sea turtles call
25、openly for democracy. But they have seen how it works in practice, and they know that many countries that practise it are richer, cleaner and more stable than China.As for the old world, its desire to close its borders is understandable but dangerous. Migration brings youth to ageing countries, and allows ideas to circulate in millions of mobile minds. That is good both for those who arrive with suitcases and dreams and for those who should welcome them.雅思阅读低分原因分析
