1、雅思A类阅读误区有哪些 雅思A类阅读是有别于G类阅读的称呼，因为雅思考试分为A类和G类，而两者阅读考试内容也不同，所以就有了雅思A类和G类的说法。那么雅思A类阅读误区有哪些呢?雅思A类阅读误区有哪些?你是否也曾被“误区”蒙蔽过?雅思A类阅读是雅思学术类考试的阅读题目，备考这类阅读时要注意一些误区，否则可能会让备考事倍功半，甚至是徒劳无功。雅思A类阅读误区都有哪些呢?下面跟小站君一起来看看，你有没有被这些误区蒙蔽过?雅思A类阅读误区一 只要刷完剑雅阅读就能拿高分剑雅阅读真题是雅思A类阅读备考的圣经，也是最受推崇的资料之一。所以，一些同学在备考雅思A类阅读的时候认为只要将所有的剑雅阅读真题全部做完
2、，阅读就没有问题了，但事实情况真的如此吗?剑雅阅读真题的价值当然很高，参考价值也很大，这一点毋庸置疑，但是只靠剑雅真题就想拿高分也是不太现实的。首先，一些同学在备考之初词汇量和语法基础尚有欠缺，盲目刷题只能达到一知半解的地步，对于提升不会有很大帮助。其次，剑雅真题如果只是刷题，不做分析整理的话，对于雅思阅读提升的帮助也是非常小的。所以，雅思A类阅读提升要依靠的不仅仅只有真题，还要打好基础，做好纠错和整理工作。雅思A类阅读误区二 阅读就是词汇量之战词汇量是雅思阅读的基础，提升词汇量对于提升雅思阅读帮助很大，但是这并不意味着只要提升词汇量，雅思A类阅读就一定没问题了。阅读的提升不仅仅只是词汇量之战
3、，阅读中的难点还有长难句，还有各类题型的做题方法，所以提升了词汇量只是提升了阅读的基础，想要彻底拿下阅读，还需要提升长难句分析能力和做题能力。雅思A类阅读误区三 老师教的技巧比基础更重要报培训班是雅思A类阅读提升非常不错的途径之一，所以很多同学都会选择通过报班来提升雅思阅读能力。那么雅思阅读课上会讲什么呢?其实大部分老师会教大家一些做题的方法和技巧，因为课堂时间较短，老师不可能督促着大家去背词汇或者监视着大家去做习题练习。学习做题技巧固然重要，可以帮助大家在原有的基础上提升做题的速度和正确率，但是这一切还要建立在打好基础的前提下，如果没有基础，技巧自然也没有什么用处。雅思A类阅读误区四 不读*
4、没办法做题很多同学在备考之初都会问到一个问题：“先读*还是先做题?”一些同学在备考中误以为不读*不把握*大意就无法做题，其实并不是这样。雅思阅读篇幅很长，如果读完*再去做题，很有可能会导致做题时间不够，所以最好的办法是养成先读题然后在文中找答案的做题习惯。雅思A类阅读误区有哪些?上文中为大家介绍了4类，这4类也是很多同学遭遇过的误区。建议大家打好基础再刷剑雅真题，提升词汇量的同时也要提升长难句理解力和做题能力，做题技巧的学习要结合着练习一起进行，还要养成通过题目找答案的阅读习惯。雅思考试阅读模拟练习及答案The Triumph of UnreasonA.Neoclassical economi
5、cs is built on the assumption that humans are rational beings who have a clear idea of their best interests and strive to extract maximum benefit (or “utility”， in economist-speak) from any situation. Neoclassical economics assumes that the process of decision-making is rational. But that contradict

For situations met frequently in the past， such as obtaining food and mates， and confronting or fleeing from threats， the neural mechanisms requi

Since emotion is the mechanism by which animals are prodded towards such outcomes， evolutionary and economic theory predict the same practical consequences for utility in these cases. But does this sti

In particular， he suspects that modern shopping has subverted the decision-making m
9、achinery in a way that encourages people to run up debt. To prove the point he has teamed up with two psychologists， Brian Knutson of Stanford University and Drazen Prelec of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology， to look at what happens in the brain when it is deciding what to buy.D.In a study，
10、 the three researchers asked 26 volunteers to decide whether to buy a series of products such as a box of chocolates or a DVD of the television show that were flashed on a computer screen one after another. In each round of the task， the researchers first presented the product and then its price， wi
11、th each step lasting four seconds. In the final stage， which also lasted four seconds， they asked the volunteers to make up their minds. While the volunteers were taking part in the experiment， the researchers scanned their brains using a technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
12、。 This measures blood flow and oxygen consumption in the brain， as an indication of its activity.E.The researchers found that different parts of the brain were involved at different stages of the test. The nucleus accumbens was the most active part when a product was being displayed. Moreover， the l
13、evel of its activity correlated with the reported desirability of the product in question.F.When the price appeared， however， fMRI reported more activity in other parts of the brain. Excessively high prices increased activity in the insular cortex， a brain region linked to expectations of pain， mone
14、tary loss and the viewing of upsetting pictures. The researchers also found greater activity in this region of the brain when the subject decided not to purchase an item.G.Price information activated the medial prefrontal cortex， too. This part of the brain is involved in rational calculation. In th
15、e experiment its activity seemed to correlate with a volunteers reaction to both product and price， rather than to price alone. Thus， the sense of a good bargain evoked higher activity levels in the medial prefrontal cortex， and this often preceded a decision to buy.H.Peoples shopping behaviour ther

What Dr Loewenstein found interesting was the separation of the assessment of the product (which seems to be associated with the nucleus accumbens) from the assessment of its pric

His hypothesis is that rather than weighing the present good against future alternatives， as orthodox economics suggests happens， people actually balance the immediate pleasure of the prospecti
18、ve possession of a product with the immediate pain of paying for it.I.That makes perfect sense as an evolved mechanism for trading. If one useful object is being traded for another (hard cash in modern time)， the future utility of what is being given up is embedded in the object being traded. Emotio
19、n is as capable of assigning such a value as reason. Buying on credit， though， may be different. The abstract nature of credit cards， coupled with the deferment of payment that they promise， may modulate the “con” side of the calculation in favour of the “pro”。J.Whether it actually does so will be t

These will test whether people with distinctly different spending behaviour， such as miserliness and extravagance， experience different amounts of pain in response to prices. They will also assess whether， in the same in

If they find that it does， then credit cards may have to join the list of things such as fatty and sugary foods， and recreational drugs， that subvert human instincts in ways that seem pleasurable at the time but can hav

23、if it is possbile to say what the writer thinks about this1. The belief of neoclassical economics does not accord with the increasing evidence that humans make use of the emotions to make decisions.2. Animals are urged by emotion to strive for an optimal outcomes or extract maximum utility from any
24、situation.3. George Loewenstein thinks that modern ways of shopping tend to allow people to accumulate their debts.4. The more active the nucleus accumens was， the stronger the desire of people for the product in question became.5. The prefrontal cortex of the human brain is linked to monetary loss
