1、雅思阅读丢分是什么原因导致的 雅思阅读部分为什么会丢分?今天给大家带来雅思阅读丢分是什么原因导致，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丢分是什么原因导致的雅思阅读考试失分点一：遇到生词，束手无策，无法正常进行阅读和做题雅思考试阅读的*于国外原版的期刊或杂志，话题覆盖面广，科技，自然，环保，社会，文化，工作，生物，地理等无不涉及，所以对于雅思阅读备考生来讲，遇到生词在情理之中。但一部分烤鸭遇到生词后就信心全失，慌乱至极，打破了自己原有的阅读节奏和速度，做题时也因为生词被卡壳，结果题目不仅没有解出，还影响了后面的做题速度和时间，可谓“一发动而迁全身”。对此，专家认为，生词的出
2、现在所难免，只要大家有基本的词汇量，完全可以将生词的问题逐一击破。A. 有时候生词属于比较专业的词汇，它们的出现不是为了考察考生的词汇量，更多的是检阅大家的应变和判断能力。尤其在题目中出现的所谓生词，更是可以坏事变好事，成为考生定位答案的线索词。比如：在剑桥7 “Why pagodas dont fall down”一文，5-10题的分类题中第6题“tiles on eaves”，很可能考生在三个单词中有两个都不认识，这时候如何是好呢?首先，先观察这两个生词的词性。在介词“on”的前后，且分别加了“s”, 可以判断是名词。在这篇建筑类的*中论及我们不认识的名词，想必不是日常词汇，所以完全可以把
3、“tiles”和“eaves”作为定位词去原文寻找答案。B. 有时候生词的含义可以在上下文中直接得到。在雅思阅读*时遇到的生词，有相当一部分的含义可以通过多种猜测单词的方法得到，所以，在生词的周围或上下文寻找其解释不失为有效途径。例如，剑桥4的*“How much higher? How much faster?”中，有这样一个句子：“One of the most important new methodologies is biomechanics, the study of the body in motion.” “biomechanics”这个单词从构词法上看，我们只能够知道其和生物
4、有关，此时，看后面的同位语部分就能很好的帮我们解释这个词的意思，直接且易懂，即对身体在运动状态下的研究。雅思阅读考试失分点二：不能权衡做题的优先性，无法把握做题时间很多烤鸭在面对雅思阅读考试时，都会感叹时间不够，有的考生会剩下半篇*没有读完，更有甚者，一个小时只够用来做两篇*。其中做题速度无法达到要求的原因有很多，词汇量，阅读方法，做题技巧无一不是。此外，还有一个很重要的因素：不会取舍，不会衡量做题的优先性。专家提示，雅思阅读3篇*，存在难易程度的差别。考生应选择自己擅长或熟悉的话题*优先做。而对一篇*而言，做题顺序可以如下排布：Heading题 - 填空型题(表格，图示，简答，summary
5、, 完成句子) - 判断题 - 选择型题(单选，多选)，平均每篇*的做题时间控制在20min, 如时间到，还有少量题目(1-2题)没有做完，可放宽少许时间完成。若还余留多题未完成，建议先舍弃，做下一篇*，因为不排除下一篇*，看似*话题难，但题目容易的情况。难度系数高的题目在每个人面前都一样，我们希望确保容易的题目百分百的拿下。雅思阅读考试失分点三：对题目考点把握不清，不知如何确定keywords很多考生在平时的练习和考场上面对划keywords总是单一的跟着感觉走，或是将一道题目中大部分的词都划下来作为keywords, 完全失了方向和重点，直接导致答案很难在原文锁定。所以，keywords是
6、对题目的浓缩，也是题目的线索词，更是考点。考生们应该在平时的课堂和练习中，多加总结考点词的特点，以达到用一到两个词就涵盖整个题目的效果。利用keywords定位答案，更集中目标，更有方向性。例如：在剑桥7，“Why pagodas dont fall down”的分类题中，“size of eaves up to half width of the building”, 这道题目看似比较长，信息多，其实如果了解数字是一个考点，就能果断划出half这个keywords, 并且根据做题经验，预测到其在原文必定会变换形式成fifty percent。如果在原文寻找答案前就把握了以上这些，找起来自然速
