1、雅思阅读如何合理分配考试时间 雅思阅读考试时间之紧，题量之大，题型之多变一直是阻碍广大考生获得高分的重要原因。今天给大家带来了雅思阅读如何合理分配考试时间,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如何合理分配考试时间正确的时间分配可以帮助考生在考场上最大限度的发挥自己的实际水平，提高整体正确率。合理的时间安排，原则上是18分钟一篇。但是考生都有自己熟悉的话题和有把握的题材。所以，在正式开始做题之前，考生不妨可以通过标题浏览等方式Skim三篇*，按照自己的实际情况对于三篇*的难易程度进行定位，确定哪篇*是自己把握性比较大的，对于这种比较有把握*一定要保证时间充足，这样有助于整体
2、正确率的提升。但是每一篇*原则上最多不超过20分钟，否则考生是没有办法有效率的完成40道题目的。在时间分配这一点上，要特别提醒那些基础比较好的考生。因为此类考生往往更加容易“栽跟头”。雅思阅读*篇幅较长，之后还有四十道题目需要完成，这就要求考生精读和泛读相结合。需要提别提出的是，*中的信息有主次之分，那些与考题相关的信息才是考生需要精读的内容。而基础较好的同学往往为了保证正确率会采取全篇精读的方式去完成题目，这样的话就没有办法保证在规定的时间内完成所有题目。最后需要在时间安排上提醒考生们注意的是，要留取填写答题卡的时间。雅思考试第一场听力考试是有10分钟的时间留给考生填写答题卡的。但是在紧接着
3、的第二场阅读考试中，填写答题卡的时间包含在一个小时考试时间里面。在此，有不少老师建议考生，分篇填写。完成一篇之后就把填写在答题卡上，这样可以避免最后完全来不及填写答题卡的情况出现。除去时间掌控之外，考生们在考场上还要注意的是考试的题型安排。正确的做题顺序可以帮助考生更加有效的完成题目。雅思学术类阅读现在官网上分为十大题型：Multiple Choice;Short-answer questions;Sentence Completion;Notes, Summary or Table/Flow-chart Completion;Labelling a Diagram;Headings;Loca
4、ting Information;Identification of Writers Views/Claims or of Information in a Text;Classification;Matching。这些题型绝大多数题目是细节型的题。一般来说，建议考生按照从大意题到细节题的做题顺序完成整篇试题。也就是说，在考试过程中，如果考生遇到“Headings”这种标准的大意题，当然是需要最先完成的。而其他细节题在考生对于*大意有所了解的前提下去完成会很容易定位。在此需要特别说明的是最近很流行的细节配对题，一般建议考生安排在其他题目完成之后再去完成，这样考生对于*的结构和各段的大意都有比较
5、清晰的了解，在这个基础上再去完成细节配对题会节约很多定位的时间，而且正确率也会有所提升。最后要提醒即将考试的“烤鸭”们的就是信心和情绪。良好的心理素质是在考场上正常发挥水平的重要保证。长期辛苦的备考之后，考生们有理由相信自己会在考场上取得满意的成绩。适当的自信也是阅读速度和解题正确率的保证。另外，有些考生如果碰到的*是自己不熟悉的领域或不熟悉的题型就会大受“打击”，影响做题情绪。这个是完全没有必要的。要明白有时候*当中那些生词往往根本不会影响考生做题，属于我们上文所提及的次要信息。所以千万不要让那些次要的内容影响了做题目的情绪，否则就是得不偿失了。雅思阅读模拟练习及答案From The Eco

32、ife的一部分雅思阅读模拟练习及答案Rogue theory of smell gets a boost1. A controversial theory of how we smell， which claims that our fine sense of odour depends on quantum mechanics， has been given the thumbs up by a team of physicists.2. Calculations by researchers at University College London (UCL) show that the
33、idea that we smell odour molecules by sensing their molecular vibrations makes sense in terms of the physics involved.3. Thats still some way from proving that the theory， proposed in the mid-1990s by biophysicist Luca Turin， is correct. But it should make other scientists take the idea more serious
34、ly.4. “This is a big step forward，” says Turin， who has now set up his own perfume company Flexitral in Virginia. He says that since he published his theory， “it has been ignored rather than criticized.”5. Most scientists have assumed that our sense of smell depends on receptors in the nose detectin
35、g the shape of incoming molecules， which triggers a signal to the brain. This molecular lock and key process is thought to lie behind a wide range of the bodys detection systems： it is how some parts of the immune system recognise invaders， for example， and how the tongue recognizes some tastes.6. B
36、ut Turin argued that smell doesnt seem to fit this picture very well. Molecules that look almost identical can smell very different such as alcohols， which smell like spirits， and thiols， which smell like rotten eggs. And molecules with very different structures can smell similar. Most strikingly， s
37、ome molecules can smell different to animals， if not necessarily to humans simply because they contain different isotopes (atoms that are chemically identical but have a different mass)。7. Turins explanation for these smelly facts invokes the idea that the smell signal in olfactory receptor proteins
38、 is triggered not by an odour molecules shape， but by its vibrations， which can enourage an electron to jump between two parts of the receptor in a quantum-mechanical process called tunnelling. This electron movement could initiate the smell signal being sent to the brain.8. This would explain why i
39、sotopes can smell different： their vibration frequencies are changed if the atoms are heavier. Turins mechanism， says Marshall Stoneham of the UCL team， is more like swipe-card identification than a key fitting a lock.9. Vibration-assisted electron tunnelling can undoubtedly occur it is used in an e
40、xperimental technique for measuring molecular vibrations. “The question is whether this is possible in the nose，” says Stonehams colleague， Andrew Horsfield.10. Stoneham says that when he first heard about Turins idea， while Turin was himself based at UCL， “I didnt believe it”。 But， he adds， “becaus
41、e it was an interesting idea， I thought I should prove it couldnt work. I did some simple calculations， and only then began to feel Luca could be right.” Now Stoneham and his co-workers have done the job more thoroughly， in a paper soon to be published in Physical Review Letters.11. The UCL team cal
42、culated the rates of electron hopping in a nose receptor that has an odorant molecule bound to it. This rate depends on various properties of the biomolecular system that are not known， but the researchers could estimate these parameters based on typical values for molecules of this sort.12. The key
43、 issue is whether the hopping rate with the odorant in place is significantly greater than that without it. The calculations show that it is which means that odour identification in this way seems theoretically possible.13. But Horsfield stresses that thats different from a proof of Turins idea. “So
44、 far things look plausible， but we need proper experimental verification. Were beginning to think about what experiments could be performed.”14. Meanwhile， Turin is pressing ahead with his hypothesis. “At Flexitral we have been designing odorants exclusively on the basis of their computed vibrations
45、，” he says. “Our success rate at odorant discovery is two orders of magnitude better than the competition.” At the very least， he is putting his money where his nose is.Questions 1-4Do the following statements agree with the information given in the passage? Please writeTRUE if the statement agrees
46、with the writerFALSE if the statement does not agree with the writerNOT GIVEN if there is no information about this in the passage1. The result of the study at UCL agrees with Turins theory.2. The study at UCL could conclusively prove what Luca Turin has hypothesized.3. Turin left his post at UCL an

Use NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.5. The hypothesis that we smell by sensing the molecular vibration
48、 was made by _.6. Turins company is based in _.7. Most scientists believed that our nose works in the same way as our _.8. Different isotopes can smell different when _ weigh differently.9.
