1、雅思阅读如何冲刺高分 雅思考试的听说读写四项考察中,往往阅读是最容易得分的项目。所以要想取得一个较高的雅思成绩,一定在在雅思阅读上冲刺高分。下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。雅思阅读如何冲刺高分一、雅思阅读词汇与长难句雅思阅读要想拿到7分以上,需要掌握足够的雅思词汇量和充足的语法知识。词汇是阅读的基础,只有掌握足够的词汇,才能保证读懂*,做出题目。阅读词汇量至少需要掌握在5000-6000的水平。在雅思阅读中,还会存在一些长难句,给理解*信息,解题都带来了很大的困难。分析长难句所需要的语法知识,基本上在高中都已经讲过了,所以在做雅思阅读时,如果觉得阅读*有困难,可以再回溯一下高中的知识。二、合理
2、安排考试时间很多同学在阅读中失分,并不是因为自己的能力不足,而是因为没有时间。还没读懂*,看清题目就匆匆下笔,最后的正确率可想而知。所以在考试时,一定要合理规划好自己的时间。在平时训练时,就要合理安排好三篇*的答题时间。严格按照自己制定的计划来执行。遵循先紧后松的原则,第一篇*阅读时间控制在15分钟左右,第二篇*控制在20分钟以内,第三篇23分钟左右。在做题时,熟练运用skanning和skimming的阅读方法,避免逐字逐字的精读*。三、熟悉题型,转化思维很多考生在做雅思阅读时,会出现一种思维错误,钻牛角尖的问题。即使告诉你正确答案了,也难以理解为什么选这个答案。这主要是我们的思维惯式和不熟
3、悉题型导致的。在做题时,总是按照自己的思路去理解题目,而不去揣测出题人的想法。要想改变这种情况,最重要的方法就是刷题。在刷题的过程中,熟悉各种题型,洞悉出卷人的想法,冲破自己的思维惯性。做到熟悉雅思*的出题点。雅思考试阅读模拟试题精选Food agency takes on industry over junk labelsFelicity LawrenceThursday December 28,20XXThe Guardian1.Consumers are to be presented with two rival new year advertising campaigns as th

31、雅思考试阅读模拟试题精选Suns fickle heart may leave us cold25 January 20XXFrom New Scientist Print Edition.Stuart Clark1.Theres a dimmer switch inside the sun that causes its brightness to rise and fall on timescales of around 100,000 years - exactly the same period as between ice ages on Earth.So says a physic
32、ist who has created a computer model of our stars core.2.Robert Ehrlich of George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, modelled the effect of temperature fluctuations in the suns interior.According to the standard view, the temperature of the suns core is held constant by the opposing pressures of
33、 gravity and nuclear fusion.However, Ehrlich believed that slight variations should be possible.3.He took as his starting point the work of Attila Grandpierre of the Konkoly Observatory of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.In 2005, Grandpierre and a collaborator, Gbor goston, calculated that magneti
34、c fields in the suns core could produce small instabilities in the solar plasma.These instabilities would induce localised oscillations in temperature.4.Ehrlichs model shows that whilst most of these oscillations cancel each other out, some reinforce one another and become long-lived temperature var
35、iations.The favoured frequencies allow the suns core temperature to oscillate around its average temperature of 13.6 million kelvin in cycles lasting either 100,000 or 41,000 years.Ehrlich says that random interactions within the suns magnetic field could flip the fluctuations from one cycle length
36、to the other.5.These two timescales are instantly recognisable to anyone familiar with Earths ice ages: for the past million years, ice ages have occurred roughly every 100,000 years.Before that, they occurred roughly every 41,000 years.6.Most scientists believe that the ice ages are the result of s
37、ubtle changes in Earths orbit, known as the Milankovitch cycles.One such cycle describes the way Earths orbit gradually changes shape from a circle to a slight ellipse and back again roughly every 100,000 years.The theory says this alters the amount of solar radiation that Earth receives, triggering
38、 the ice ages.However, a persistent problem with this theory has been its inability to explain why the ice ages changed frequency a million years ago.7.“In Milankovitch, there is certainly no good idea why the frequency should change from one to another,” says Neil Edwards, a climatologist at the Op
39、en University in Milton Keynes, UK.Nor is the transition problem the only one the Milankovitch theory faces.Ehrlich and other critics claim that the temperature variations caused by Milankovitch cycles are simply not big enough to drive ice ages.8.However, Edwards believes the small changes in solar
40、 heating produced by Milankovitch cycles are then amplified by feedback mechanisms on Earth.For example, if sea ice begins to form because of a slight cooling, carbon dioxide that would otherwise have found its way into the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle is locked into the ice.That weakens t
41、he greenhouse effect and Earth grows even colder.9.According to Edwards, there is no lack of such mechanisms.“If you add their effects together, there is more than enough feedback to make Milankovitch work,” he says.“The problem now is identifying which mechanisms are at work.” This is why scientist
42、s like Edwards are not yet ready to give up on the current theory.“Milankovitch cycles give us ice ages roughly when we observe them to happen.We can calculate where we are in the cycle and compare it with observation,” he says.“I cant see any way of testing Ehrlichs idea to see where we are in the
43、temperature oscillation.”10.Ehrlich concedes this.“If there is a way to test this theory on the sun, I cant think of one that is practical,” he says.Thats because variation over 41,000 to 100,000 years is too gradual to be observed.However, there may be a way to test it in other stars: red dwarfs.Th
44、eir cores are much smaller than that of the sun, and so Ehrlich believes that the oscillation periods could be short enough to be observed.He has yet to calculate the precise period or the extent of variation in brightness to be expected.5.FalseSee para.5:for the past million years, ice ages have oc
45、curred roughly every 100,000 years.Before that, they occurred roughly every 41,000 years.6.FalseSee para.7:“In Milankovitch, there is certainly no good idea why the frequency should change from one to another,” .Nor is the transition problem the only one the Milankovitch theory faces.7.Not GivenSee
46、para.8:if sea ice begins to form because of a slight cooling, carbon dioxide?is locked into the ice.That weakens the greenhouse effect.(The passage doesn抰 mention anything about locking Co2 into ice artificially.)8.TrueSee para.9:there is no lack of such mechanisms.“If you add their effects together
47、, there is more than enough feedback to make Milankovitch work,”?“The problem now is identifying which mechanisms are at work.” This is why scientists like Edwards are not yet ready to give up on the current theory.9.TrueSee the sentences in para.9 (According to Edwards, 卙e says.“I cant see any way
