1、雅思阅读技巧之顺序原则 今天和大家分享雅思阅读技巧巧用阅读“顺序原则”,一起来学习吧,下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。雅思阅读技巧-巧用阅读“顺序原则”何为“顺序原则”“顺序原则”即雅思官方在题型特点注释中所述的“Answers are in passage order.”说的复杂一些,便是:若某一题型符合“Answers are in passage order”的描述,该题型所包含的几个题目的答案在文中分布的相应位置随题号的变大而逐渐靠后。Sounds like a mouthful, right? 简而言之吧,就是这种题型考生可以顺着题号一题一题地往*更靠后的位置找,比较符合正常人的阅读
2、习惯(相信很少有人上来先读一篇*的第三段,或者第四段吧)。顺序原则与题型宏观地看一篇雅思阅读*包涵的全部题型,答案分布的顺序也符合题型出现的先后顺序,例如全文包含先判断题,后填空题这两种题型,则较有可能出现的情况是判断题答案分布在*的前半部分,而填空题在*后半部分。例如: 剑桥雅思真题集系列7,Test 4 Passage 1: 前7题判断题分布于前6个段落,剩下的段落填空题分布于第9段,和前面7段无关。接下来说说哪些题型符合“Answers are in passage order”。我们把题型总体分成四大类 - 判断、选择、填空和配对。判断题,包括identifying informati
3、on(TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN)和identifying writers views(YES/NO/NOT GIVEN)均严格地符合“顺序原则”。选择题,分为单选题和多选题。四选一的单选题,即multiple choice questions(choose one from A/B/C/D)符合顺序原则,而多选题,即picking from a list(pick 2 out of 5, 3 out of 6, 5 out of 11, etc)则无所谓顺序原则,所选答案在list中的位置可能与它们在*中出现的先后顺序不吻合,但是这种题型在答题卷上以任何顺序写出所选答案都可以。
4、填空题,(在此,笔者把所有要填单词作答的题型全部归为填空题),除段落概括填空(summary completion)以外,简答题(short answer questions)、句子填空(sentence completion)、表格填空(table completion)、笔记填空(notes completion)、流程图填空(flow-chart completion)和示意图填空(diagram labeling)均符合“顺序原则”。针对段落概括填空,我们可以默认它也为顺序原则,但需要做好个别答案乱序的心理准备,相关例子在剑桥雅思真题系列中时有出现:剑桥雅思真题集系列7,Test 4,
5、 Reading Passage 1以下简称“C7T4P1”(Ant Intelligence)、C8T2P2(The Little Ice Age)等。最后,配对题。字面理解,“配对”即把混乱的项与相应部分对应起来,因此配对题很自然就是乱序的,包括段落标题配对(matching headings)、段落信息配对(matching information)、人名与陈述配对(matching people to statements)和事件与时间段配对(matching events to time periods)等。综上,较笼统的讲,除配对题以外,其他雅思阅读题型均遵守顺序原则。注意事项需要
6、注意的是,顺序原则仅适用于同一题型内,若跨越了题型,就不一定了。例如:剑桥雅思真题集9,Test 1中的18-26题,(以下简称C9T1Q18-26),18题至20题为short answer questions,21题至26题为identifying writers views,两种题型均符合顺序原则,但是20题的答案在*的相应位置并不一定出现在21题答案的相应位置之前。因此顺序原则这个“原则”仅限题型内,涉及两种题型时可能就要被打破了。顺序原则之于解题的指导方针最后来说说顺序原则和解题过程的关系。两者的关系主要体现在前者对如何读题干的影响。对于遵守顺序题型的题型,考生在审阅题干时候可以选择
7、审一题解一题的做法,因为相关内容在文中按顺序出现,这样做考生也会感到循序渐进,脉络清楚。当然,选择在一开始讲该题型的每个题干都审阅一遍也未尝不可,可先完成较容易定位的题目,再活用顺序原则,缩小较难定位题目所需的搜索范围。对于乱序题型,特别是段落信息配对题,考生须在文中搜索答案之前审阅全部题干,最好读两遍以加深印象:因为信息在文中的分布为乱序,所以第1题的信息有可能出现在比如,倒数第二段,而我们的阅读顺序,如前文所述,肯定是从头段至尾段的。若读一题做一题便可能会出现做一题就耗去读全篇的时间,得不偿失。题号大的题目在这一题型中是很有可能比题号小的题目更早做出来的。小结雅思阅读顺序原则告诉我们,在考
8、试过程中,考生没必要想法设法应用太多所谓的定位技巧,先去选择容易定位的题型,笔者推荐的方法是跟着出题人的思路走,从小题号到大题号按部就班地顺序解题,毕竟大多数题型都符合顺序原则,而且所有题型,笼统而言,宏观上也是顺序原则的。靠纪录片一样搞定雅思阅读最近趁着颁奖季,看了许多好电影,妇女参政论者(suffragette)是其中之一。为什么要提这部电影呢?因为作为一个雅思阅读的老师,看到电影海报,职业病就犯了.脑海里立马想到的是雅思剑三test 4 passage 2真题*。同样去年也发现一部电影实验者“experimenter 也是讲剑五test 1 passage 2的心理学实验。是不是顿时觉得
9、那高高在上的雅思阅读真题*原来这么接地气啊?但话又说肥来,碰到一篇考试的*,又刚好是自己看过的电影这种幸运程度,也是直接可以去买Powerball了。所以,如果你要在看影视剧作品中学点雅思词汇,纪录片绝对是最好的选择!一则,由于纪录片的科普性,雅思阅读词汇出现频率极高。二则,剧情有时候枯燥到你只想关注底下的字幕。如果大家做雅思阅读真题做得非常多的话会发现,*的话题重复性很高。所以我就常出现的一些*话题,给大家推荐一些相应的纪录片。社会类 永远的女性参政论者suffragettes forever 如上所述雅思真题中出过女权运动,也有剑六中Do literate women make bette
10、r mothers? 就算不是为了背单词,我也推荐大家看一下这个纪录片,我们以为理所当然的东西是多少先驱用血的代价换来了。女生要看,男生更应该去看。第四公民Citizen four大名鼎鼎的斯诺登的事情大家可能听说过,这部记录片会告诉你事情的来龙去脉。也是获得了奥斯卡最佳纪录片奖。我看了四遍,里面有大量关于科技,隐私,监听相关的词汇。刚好让学生看了这部,他们做基础阅读有一篇工作环境中侵犯隐私行为的那一篇,词汇毫无压力。制造类皮克斯工作室:25个神奇时刻Pixar :25 magic moments著名动画制作公司如何制作动画的。在基础阅读里面有一篇*也是讲如何制作动画人物的。 伦敦地铁史话Th
11、e Tube: an underground history雅思真题不少出交通方式类的*,4-10里面我数了一下就有6篇。 维基解密-背后的故事Wikipedia -the secret story雅思真题中,我们见过有好多篇人物传记一类的*, 所以要推荐几部人物传记类的,英国人为主。今天要说不仅仅看英国人,因为1.31真题考的就是莫扎特。人物传记类 真实的简. 奥斯汀 The real Jane Austen 阿加莎.克里斯蒂的谜样人生The mystery of Agatha Christie 神奇的费曼先生The fantasitic Mr. Feyman 他是20世纪著名的物理学家。看
12、完你会觉得物理学家也太可爱了。当然也有霍金的纪录片,但是我总觉得人还活着的话就不会出题。实验类*在雅思阅读中也不少出现,甚至我们都摸索出来这类*结构会如何写。很多人在第一次看到剑五 nature or nurture 那篇实验之前早都了解过那个实验,做题就会特别顺畅。那我来推荐几部实验类,也许你考试就碰到了呢。实验类 斯坦福监狱实验 The Standford Prison Experiment 我们的孩子足够坚强吗?中式学校Are our kids tough enough? Chinese school 这类和教育结合在一起的实验在雅思真题中也是出现过,两个国家之间的教育对比也是出现过。而
13、且本身这个很轻松,推荐给大家。教育类的*在雅思阅读中也是常出现,有学龄前教育项目对比的,有日本和英国数学教育对比的*。教育类也是爱出的一种话题。数学的故事the story of maths动物类和环境的雅思*,真题随便一本都能有。而相关话题的纪录片,你随便一搜discover,BBC出现非常多。这里我推荐几部我看过的。蝴蝶的神奇之旅 the incredible journey of the butterflies北极熊:一个夏天的奥德赛 polar bears: a summer odyssey 珍古德的野生黑猩猩Jane Goodalls wild Chimpanzees猩猩一类的既可以
14、在动物类也会出现在一些实验类*里面或者跟人与社会关系对比上面。所以这个纪录片大家要仔细看。BBC:非洲 BBC: Africa 地理环境的*在雅思中也不少,所以要关注这种环境地理类的纪录片。美丽中国 wild China 一定找英文的!日本:地球迷人之岛Japan: Earth Enchanted islands是唐顿庄园大小姐Mary 配音的以上17部纪录片推荐给大家。看的时候光看一遍对于记住单词是不够的,至少三四遍以上。我们很多同学都说背单词最难得就是背了又忘了,老师都会跟你说还是你反复背的次数不够。其实背单词,在上下文中背是最有效率的。所以能在纪录片里看到这些词的应用,会记得特别牢的。最
15、好是能把纪录片里所有生词摘取出来形成一个自己的生词小红书,时常翻出来看看,阅读单词量肯定有大的飞跃。 也推荐两个看纪录片的网站,在线看或者下APPS 离线缓存都可以。大名鼎鼎的A站和B站:AcFun和bilibili。雅思阅读全真练习系列:Seeking an energy holy trinitySeeking an energy holy trinity1 NEELIE KROES, the European Unions competition commissioner, did not mince her words when reporting on Europes energy m

Those “vertically integrated” energy companies such as Electricit de France (EDF) or Germanys E.ON, widely dubbed as “national champions”, are effectively behaving like local mono
17、polies. Shy of competition, eager for artificially high prices, they are helping to block the efficient generation, transmission and distribution of energy on the continent.2 Energy prices vary wildly across Europe. Ms Kroes wants to see cheaper energy, and intends to push suppliers to divest their

It is remarkably hard, for example, for gas-poor Germany to import from the neighbouring, gas-rich Netherlands. Companies that
19、 dominate national markets have, so far, had little interest in improving the interconnections which would mean lower prices for consumers across the continent.3 Ms Kroes, of course, will struggle to get her way. The European Commission, which on the same day presented its recommendation for improvi

21、ument over the security of energy supply in Europe. Much has been made of the risk for western Europe of depending too heavily on Russian exports of gas. Russia under Vladimir Putin is prone to using energy exports as a blunt tool of foreign policy, especially when trying to bully countries in its h
22、interland. Last year Russia interrupted gas deliveries to Ukraine, affecting supplies in central and western Europe too. This week it blocked oil exports passing via Belarus to Europe, though that spat was soon resolved.5 The risk is that concerns about security of supply may be used spuriously by t

The likes of E.ON and EDF may claim that only protected national champions are able to secure supply, by striking long-term deals with powerful foreign suppliers. The Commission disagrees. Such deals are too often political

Protection has been tried for long enough and evidently has not worked for the internal market, nor have these companies secured the best deals for consumers from the Russians.6 In contrast, the Commissions new policy proposes, ideally, a break-up of these comp

Properly independent managers of Europes energy networks would have a strong incentive to build interconnecting pipelines and power li

For the gas market another means of ensuring competition and security would be finding a more diverse range of suppliers, for example by building more terminals for the import of liquified natural gas. It would also be likely to mean lower prices, if the example of liberalised Br

The Commission is also calling for European governments to agree on a common effort to reduce carbon emissions by at least 20% by 2020 (compared with 1990 levels). If Americ

Achieving either target would mean promoting cleaner cars, a more effective emissions-trading system for Europe, wider use of public transport and a sharp increase in the use of renewable sources of energy, lik
