IELTS阅读方法与技巧(一)

IELTS阅读方法与技巧（一） READING STRATEGIES AND SKILLS This course will give you the opportunity to develop and practice reading strategies and skills which can be applied to all forms of IELTS tests. The strategies and skills you will practice are as follows： 1.Predicting 2.Skimming 3.Scanning 4.Detailed reading 5.Guessing unknown words 6.Understanding main ideas 7.Inferring 8.Understanding text organization 9.Assessing a writer's purpose 10.Evaluating a writer's attitude. 1 Predicting Before you read a text in detail，it is possible to predict what information you may find in it. You will probably have some knowledge of the subject already，and you can use

this knowledge to help you anticipate what a reading text contains. After looking at the title，for example，you can ask yourself what you know and do not know about the subject before you read the text. Or you can formulate questions that you would like to have answered by reading the text. These exercises will help you focus more effectively on the ideas in a text when you actually start reading. To help you predict，you may also use skimming and scanning strategies as described below. 2 Skimming Skimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contents. Features of the text that can help you include the following：（a）Title （b）Sub-title（s）（c）Details about the author （d）Abstract （e）Introductory paragraph （f）First，second and last sentences of following paragraphs （g）Concluding paragraph A text may not contain all of these features - there may

雅思阅读技巧总结

雅思阅读技巧总结雅思分学术类和培训类两种，分别针对申请留学的学生和计划在英语语言国家参加工作或移民的人士。下面就随小编一起去阅读雅思阅读技巧总结，相信能带给大家帮助。在雅思阅读考试的判断题中，一定要注意要求。比如：TRUR/FALSE/NOT GIVEN或YES /NO/ NOT GIVEN，要按要求写到答题纸上。小站老师技巧：在做题的时候，现在题目中找到定位词和信号词，一般要注意名词。如果在题目中真的无法找到合适的名词，可以换其他词性。注意：最常暗示答案的几个连词是BUT，HOWEVER，WHILE，AND, ALSO, MOREOVER。在雅思阅读的归纳题中，首先要用判断题的方法找到相应的定位词，目前归纳题有两种趋势，一种是题目贯穿在整篇文章，另一种是只隐藏在其中一二个段落。配对题相对来说比较好做，一般“首尾句原则”就比较适合这种题型。做雅思阅读选择题的时候，要注意通过提干把关键词和定位词划出来，然后对应所在的锻炼就可以。在雅思阅读考试中，填空题的做法和归纳题差不多，都是先找定位词找出正确的段落，然后通过“就近原则”填空。做雅思阅读简答题，首先要看清题目要求“NO MORE THAN

-WORDS”，一定要注意题目的字数限制。在雅思阅读考试中，图表题的形式和要求相对来说比较严格，在实际做题中，首先要注意“序号”原则，其次要注意“形式一致原则”。这类题型的干扰能力较大，“隐蔽性”也较大，考生要特别注意，另外，与HEADING题不同的是它们的答案通常不是在句首或句尾，而是在段落当中的某几句话，应该利用信号词“快速扫描法”进行定位段落，然后进行分析。

雅思阅读填空题(让考官告诉你)

雅思阅读summary填空题是雅思阅读题中常见题型, 在阅读考试中占较大的比重. 同时也是众多考生头痛的一种题型. 因为此题型不仅考查考生快速准确理解阅读文章的主旨能力, 也考查考生对定位,同义转化以及语义间逻辑关系的灵敏度. 总的来说, 雅思阅读summary填空题主要有两种形式: 一种是单词填空式, 这种形式主要针对文章全文或者部分段落写出的一篇摘要, 空出若干空格, 要求考生从文章中寻找相应的单词进行填空; 另一种是单词选择式, 就是在第一种形式的基础上, 额外提供了一个词库, 要求考生从词库中选词填空. 下面环球雅思的老师将详细讲解如何快速而有效的解答这两种形式的summary填空题. 单词填空式解题策略对于单词填空式题, 一般把握三个关键信息: 逻辑关系词, 语法属性, 定位. 首先, 观察空格前后是否有语义间有逻辑关系的连接词, 即逻辑关系词推断. 这类表示空格前后内容逻辑关系的连接词主要包括:

①表示因果关系的词, 如because, as, since, for, due to, thanks to, as a result of等. 在考试中, 在因果关系中除了一些连接词的衔接外, 还有一些表示因果关系的大词, 如trigger, breed, induce, engender, generate, be responsible for, affect, determine等, 这些词在语义中隐含了因果关系. 所以也是考生在解题中值得注意的. ②表示转折关系的词, 如but, however, while, yet, instead, rather, whereas等 ③表示让步关系的词, 如despite, in spite of, although等 ④表示并列关系的词, 如and, both…and…, neither…nor等 ⑤表示举例关系的词, 如such as, for example等观察有无这类词的目的在于为了回原文定位时, 能缩小寻找范围, 使定位更加准确. 在文章阅读中, 题目中的某些单词会进行同义转换而变得面目全非，但是句意不会变，语义关系不会变，这是最可靠的定位依据。从而逻辑关系词对于考生在解题中把握语义间的内在关系起了关键作用. 如剑桥4 Test 2 Passage 1 Lost for words 一篇中的summary 题中This great variety of languages came about largely as a result of geographical ___Q1______. But in today’s world, factors such as government initiatives and ____Q2_____ are contributing to a huge decrease in the number of languages. One factor which may help to ensure that some endangered languages do not die out completely is people’s increasing appreciation of their ____Q3_____.

雅思阅读方法(中英文)

Remember to read the instructions carefully. The instructions will tell you where to find the answers, what you need to do, what kind of answer is required , and how many words you need to write. The instructions will also tell you if an option can be used more than once, and will remind you to transfer your answers to your Answer Sheet. 仔细阅读考试答题指导。答题指导会告诉你在文章中哪里定位答案，你需要做什么，需要你填写哪种类型的答案，以及你填写答案的字数。答题指导也会告诉你备选项是否要超过一次使用，还会提醒你把答案转填到答题纸上。 Remember that the questions for certain task types follow the order of information in the reading passage. 某些题型的问题的答题顺序是按照文章中信息出现的先后顺序排列的，即“顺序原则”。 Remember to read all the questions very carefully . 仔细阅读所有的问题。 Practise scanning for key words in the extracts or the reading passage that match the items. You can also practise scanning for paraphrases of key words. 通过文章的节选或整篇文章，练习扫读关键词。还可以通过意译重述关键词进行关键词转换练习。 Remember that in most tasks which involve writing words or numbers, e.g. Short-answer Questions, the answers have to be grammatically correct and spelt correctly. Accuracy in spelling and word form. are very important and you will be penalised for incorrect spelling. 在填写词汇或数字的题型中，如简短回答问题，答案必须在语法和拼写上完全正确。拼写和词汇的准确性是很重要的;如果拼写错误，整道题目就完全错误，造成失分。 Use the information provided in the notes, tables, diagrams or flow-charts, as well as any examples, to predict the type of information that is required. 运用文章中的注释，表格，图表或流程图以及范例中提供的信息，预测文章的内容，从而获取答题信息。 Underline key words and phrases when you read as well as paying attention to key words in the questions. 阅读过程中划出关键单词和词组，并且特别关注问题中的关键词。

雅思阅读技巧知乎

General tips: 1. 先看题，再读文章（特别是看heading题）。相信我，平时训练就这么做，肯定来得及，答主两次考试时间都很充裕，还在玩笔头。 2. 读文章首段一定要读一下，其他的段落读首句，末句，必要时可以读第二句 3. But后面的永远比but前面的information重要（包括however，yet，while，in fact，on contrary，nevertheless等转折词） 4. 越短的段落越可能需要读全段，越长的段落越可能不需要读全段（首句没给的话第二句很重要，二句没有的话就看末句） 5. 时间分配每篇20分钟，若某篇文章超过20分钟还没搞定，果断放弃，进行下一篇，有失才有得 6. 文章没有标段落说明没有list of headings类型的题目。 7. 先做需要通读全文才能做得题目，这样能节省时间，免得重复阅读。比如，首先看有没有list headings，有就先做这类题。Matching里面的信息对段落题如果出现也是要先做的。再次就是summary需要全局阅读。再次就是Multiple choice。T/F/NG最后做。时间不够就只能使用技巧了。到30分钟的时候看看还剩下什么，然后决定是继续做还是先去做第3题。然后下面是针对每种类型的的题目的一些技巧： T/F/NG tips: 1. 时间不够的话全true（对应的对于multiple choice全C法） 2. 对于出现every和only等比较绝对的词汇时很大可能是false 3. 注意T/F/NG和Y/N/NG的区别，填写答案注意是哪一种类别，另外，不要简写，不要写T,F,NG和Y,N,NG，要写全称，而且要全大写。这点很重要。 4. 题目肯定是按照段落的顺序设置的 5. 使用参照物的方法将题干在文章中定位（比如人名，地名，时间，百分比，大写字母） 6. 如何区分No和NG:明显抵触的才是No（比如，文中说部分保护，结论是全部保护，这就是冲突等），推不出来的就是NG（文中较抽象） 7. 这类题只可能对于细节题，不可能需要阅读全文信息才能做决定，所以定位以后就能做题，不需要读完全文 8. NG的形式：a,并不存在比较的基础，或者没有比较的意义。所以一旦出现比较，就可以选NG，特别是金钱，男女生的智商的比较等。b,隐形的比较，这些词比如similar，another，the same as, identical, next隐含比较意义，也可以选NG，还有比较级也是可以选NG的。另外，the latter也是可以选NG的。c,终极比较，比如形容词最高级很可能选NG 9. 7道题出现NG的数目最多为2道。True的数目为2-3. 10. True和false可以通过加not进行反转，但是NG不可反转，因此区分N和NG的一个方法是将原句子加上否定词not，回原文去找对应的话，如果找不到就是NG 11. 绝对==不对。题干中出现all时肯定选No，比如这个人赢得了所有的选票这种论断就可以选No。还有unique, only, none, always, never, every，impossible，immediate, invariably, inevitably等词也是可以选no的。

雅思阅读细节题分类及解答方法

雅思阅读细节题分类及解答方法雅思阅读细节题如何处理呢?小编整理雅思阅读细节题分类及解答方法，想考雅思的朋友们可以参考下哦~ 一、因果考点判断题中的因果关系里，通常结果是定位词，原因是考点。例：The growing importance of the middle classes led to an increased demand for dictionaries。其中的考点就是the growing importance of the middle classes。二、是非考点通常是题干的谓语或表语，这种考点占到判断题数量的一半以上。例：The parents of top athletes have often been successful athletes themselves。定位词是The parents of athletes，考点词是successful athletes，在题干中作表语。三、绝对考点在判断题题干中，经常出现almost，only，never等表示绝对意义的副词。例：Not all of the assistants survived to see the publication of the Dictionary。考点在Not all这个词上。四、目的考点当原文和题干都在考察一件事的目的或意义的时候，这个目的(意义)就是我们要关注的考点。

五、数字考点当选择题中出现数字、时间、年代的时候，这个就是我们的考点了。例：Michael Faraday was the first person to recognise Perkin’s ability as a student of chemistry。六、比较考点当题干中出现比较关系的时候，比较的双方作为定位词，比较关系就是我们的考点。例：Johnson has become more well known since his death。定位词是since his death，考点就是more well known。在雅思备考时，一定要在平时多多积累，掌握适合自己的做题方法，取得满意的成绩。

Steve and I played some games, talked about something interesting and had a snack. In the end it got dark. We were just falling asleep when We heard something unusual. “Maybe it is just a small animal,” I said. Steve said nothing, but I could feel he was frightened. After I looked around, I was sure it wasn’t an animal. It was my little brother, Tommy. “What are you doing here?” I asked. “You know, Tommy, you frightened us.”“Sorry, Bill,” he said. “It’s hot in the room. I want to sleep outside with you.”“Well, OK,” I said. “Just come and lie down next to us.” “Good night, Bill and Steve,” said Tommy. “And thanks.”
