1、雅思阅读备考高分攻略之6大要点实例分析 对于所有目标7分的雅思考生来说,雅思阅读一般要预定一个7.5+分数的保底分,毕竟是我们最为熟悉的部分。给大家带来了雅思阅读备考高分攻略之6大要点实例分析,希望能够帮助到大家,下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。雅思阅读备考高分攻略之6大要点实例分析雅思阅读备考高分攻略之词汇的挑选拥有一定程度的词汇量是学习英语的基本条件,而雅思的阅读更需要考生在词汇上有更大程度的掌握。对于应试阅读,其中大量学术性名词是你不可能见过的也不用明白意思的,但是,*中一些重要动词和连词对理解起着举足轻重的作用,因此,适当扩展一些常用动词,连词是必要的,我们可以运用扩散法,看见一个生词
2、,不仅记住它,还记住它的近义反义词,达到事半功倍的效果。先来看下雅思的阅读在词汇上如何进行考察,来看个例子:Original text:The seasonal impact of day length on physiological responses is called photoperiodism,and the amount of experimental evidence for this phenomenon is considerable.Statement:There is plenty of scientific evidence to support photoperio
3、dism.在这个例子来说,我们可以看出来,考生只需要认识considerable这个单词就可以做出自己的判断了,在这里considerable是大量的意思,和plenty of也直接形成了一个同义上的转换。所以基本可以判断答案为TRUE,而这个例子中的photoperiodism这个单词,对原文的理解上没有什么影响,所以可以不去做记忆。考虑到雅思阅读的A类一般会出来大量的专业单词或者是专业术语,以及考生在平常的交流中较少使用的词汇,都是可以忽略的。雅思阅读备考高分攻略之句型结构的熟练撇开对于一些必要词汇的掌握,考生在备考时还会遇到一些状况,像:句子内虽然没有出现一些很难的单词,甚至出现的都是认
4、识单词,但是对于句子的理解还是不能准确把握,也会出现一个考生一个理解的情况。这类型的句子也对考生阅读理解上造成了很大的困扰,但这恰恰也是雅思的关键考察点:句子结构错综复杂,长句屡屡皆是。运动的理论,并不是题目中所讲的磁场的发现。考生在雅思句型上能有所准备,不但要了解一些常用的语法结构,还需要对阅读*的一些较为复杂的句型结构进行有针对性的联系,这样才可以在错综复杂的长句子迅速捕捉要考生需要的信息。雅思阅读备考高分攻略之*风格的掌握雅思阅读中出现的*也具有各自的风格,而它主要也是受到了*方面的影响。因为雅思阅读*大多来自于世界主流媒体,像Financial Times,Guardian等,如果*选
5、自报刊类的话,那么阅读*会显示出很明显的报刊*特点,比如标题一般都会比较的显眼,这样的做法也是为了吸引更多的读者的兴趣;*也比较的简明扼要,不会长篇大论的去叙说细节问题。此外还有部分*时来自政府的各个部分的报告,像社会发展报告,或者像联合国机构的年度报告等等,这样的*比较的冗长,也比较枯燥,但是很容易就找到*的主旨内容,因为*多会采用一些概括的方法,并有系统性并有条理的进行述说,伴随着具体的概括和部分详细的描述。一些有名的协会杂志会有教特别的学术氛围,用尽量浅显的科学术语介绍给读者一些研究的成果,以专题论文和辩论为主。雅思阅读备考高分攻略之逻辑的运用雅思的阅读更多考察的是考生的思维逻辑能力。不
6、仅要运用到大量的逻辑关系词去帮助考生理顺*的逻辑顺序。除了这个,其实在很多的雅思考试的*中,都可以发现逻辑考察点也体现在代词的指向的理解上,所以指向性代词也是雅思的一个考点,它同样也影响着考生对雅思阅读*是否能正确的理解。逻辑的关系需要自然推理,同样也影响着考生是否能对阅读正确理解,这类的考点特别表现在是非判断题和人物的观点上,例如说:Original text: “What you hear is only the tip of the iceberg,” says. He believes the reason is simple: “No one wants bad press.”Sta
7、tement : Trevor Ford suggests that publicity about nickel sulphide failure has been suppressed.Trevor 说道“no one wants bad press”.(没有人喜欢负面的报道),根据这样的说法,就可以很快的推断出他是指许多负面的消息都被认为的压制了。所以考生一定要运用到逻辑推理,这样对雅思阅读的理解很重要。雅思阅读备考高分攻略之阅读速度阅读速度应该是大部分同学关心的问题,首先,拿到一篇陌生*时,先看题,众所周知,题目顺序是根据*顺序来的,这样带着问题看更有针对性,同时节省时间。如果上来就通
8、读,很可能什么也记不住,做题时也得再看一遍。雅思阅读备考高分攻略之合理安排备考时间考生可以根据自己的英语水平和备考时长进行规划,也可以参考雅思阅读高分考生的备考经验进行计划制定。例如前期可以以剑桥真题4-6进行入门练习,中期则可以以这些真题(剑桥4-12)进行提升训练,后期则可以试着查漏补缺,以雅思OG进行冲刺练习等。然后再把这些计划具体到每一天,严格按照计划进行,以实现最终目标。雅思阅读考试模拟练习试题1.
