雅思阅读场景词

雅思阅读场景词一、雅思阅读场景词的重要性雅思阅读场景词就像是打开宝藏的钥匙,超级重要呢。

你想啊,在雅思阅读的世界里,那各种文章就像是不同的小宇宙,有科学的、历史的、文化的等等。

如果我们不认识场景词,就像在小宇宙里迷失了方向,晕头转向的。

比如说在科学类的文章里,像“experiment(实验)”“hypothesis(假设)”“observation (观察)”这些词要是不认识,那读文章就跟看天书似的。

再比如说文化类的文章中,“tradition(传统)”“custom(习俗)”“heritage(遗产)”这些场景词要是不熟,就很难理解文章到底在说啥。

二、常见的雅思阅读场景词分类1. 学术场景词在学术研究类的文章里,“research(研究)”“analysis (分析)”“data(数据)”这几个词出现的频率超高。

像“data”这个词,它可以是单数也可以是复数,“a piece of data”或者“these data”都是正确的用法。

还有“conclusion(结论)”,一篇学术文章最后肯定是要得出结论的,这个词就很关键。

在学术教育场景里,“curriculum(课程)”“tutor(导师)”“seminar(研讨会)”是常见的词。

“curriculum”涵盖了一个课程体系的所有内容,“tutor”是可以给你单独辅导的人,而“seminar”是大家一起讨论学术问题的小集会。

2. 生活场景词在日常消费场景下,“purchase(购买)”“receipt(收据)”“bargain(便宜货)”很常见。

当我们说“make a purchase”就是进行一次购买行为,而“bargain”这个词,既可以当名词表示便宜的东西,也可以当动词表示讨价还价,比如“I bargained with the seller and got a good bargain.”在居住场景里,“apartment(公寓)”“tenant(租户)”“landlord(房东)”是必须知道的。

09.9.26雅思阅读第二篇背景文章赏析

09.9.26雅思阅读第二篇背景文章赏析A New Ice AgeWilliam Curry is a serious, sober climate scientist, not an art critic. But he has spent a lot of time perusing Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze's famous painting "George Washington Crossing the Delaware," which depicts a boatload of colonial American soldiers making their way to attack English and Hessian troops the day after Christmas in 1776. "Most people think these other guys in the boat are rowing,but they are actually pushing the ice away," says Curry, tapping his finger on a reproduction of the painting. Sure enough, the lead oarsman is bashing the frozen river with his boot. "I grew up in Philadelphia. The place in this painting is 30 minutes away by car. I can tell you, this kind of thing just doesn't happen anymore."But it may again soon. And ice-choked scenes, similar to those immortalized by the 16th-century Flemish painter Pieter Brueghel the Elder,may also return to Europe. His works,including the 1565 masterpiece "Hunters in the Snow," make the now-temperate European landscapes look more like Lapland. Such frigid settings were commonplace during a period dating roughly from 1300 to 1850 because much of North America and Europe was in the throes of a little ice age. And now there is mounting evidence that the chill could return.A growing number of scientists believe conditions are ripe for another prolonged cooldown,or small ice age. While no one is predicting a brutal ice sheet like the one that covered the Northern Hemisphere with glaciers about 12,000 years ago, the next cooling trend could drop average temperatures 5 degrees Fahrenheit over much of the United States and 10 degrees in the Northeast,northern Europe, and northern Asia."It could happen in 10 years," says Terrence Joyce, who chairs the Woods Hole Physical Oceanography Department. "Once it does, it can take hundreds of years to reverse." And he is alarmed that Americans have yet to take the threat seriously.A drop of 5 to 10 degrees entails much more than simply bumping up the thermostat and carrying on. Both economically and ecologically,such quick,persistent chilling could have devastating consequences. A 2002 report titled "Abrupt Climate Change: Inevitable Surprises," produced by the National Academy of Sciences,pegged the cost from agricultural losses alone at $100 billion to $250 billion while also predicting that damage to ecologies could be vast and incalculable. A grim sampler: disappearing forests,increased housing expenses,dwindling freshwater, lower crop yields, and accelerated species extinctions.The reason for such huge effects is simple. A quick climate change wreaks far more disruption than a slow one. People, animals,plants, and the economies that depend on them are like rivers, says the report: "For example,high water in a river will pose few problems until the water runs over the bank, after which levees can be breached and massive flooding can occur. Many biological processes undergo shifts at particular thresholds of temperature and precipitation."Political changes since the last ice age could make survival far more difficult for the world's poor. During previous cooling periods, whole tribes simply picked up and moved south, but that option doesn't work in the modern,tense world of closed borders. "To the extent that abrupt climate change may cause rapid and extensive changes of fortune for those who live off the land,the inability to migrate may remove one of the major safety nets for distressed people," says the report.But first things first. Isn't the earth actually warming? Indeed it is, says Joyce. In his cluttered office, full of soft light from the foggy Cape Cod morning,he explains how such warming could actually be the surprising culprit of the next mini-ice age. The paradox is a result of the appearance over the past 30 years in the North Atlantic of huge rivers of freshwater—the equivalent of a 10-foot-thick layer—mixed into the salty sea. No one is certain where the fresh torrents are coming from, but a prime suspect is melting Arctic ice, caused by a buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that traps solar energy.The freshwater trend is major news in ocean-science circles. Bob Dickson, a British oceanographer who sounded an alarm at a February conference in Honolulu,has termed the drop in salinity and temperature in the Labrador Sea—a body of water between northeastern Canada and Greenland that adjoins the Atlantic—"arguably the largest full-depth changes observed in the modern instrumental oceanographic record."The trend could cause a little ice age by subverting the northern penetration of Gulf Stream waters. Normally, the Gulf Stream, laden with heat soaked up in the tropics, meanders up the east coasts of the United States and Canada. As it flows northward,the stream surrenders heat to the air. Because the prevailing North Atlantic winds blow eastward, a lot of the heat wafts to Europe. That's why many scientists believe winter temperatures on the Continent are as much as 36 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than those in North America at the same latitude. Frigid Boston,for example,lies at almost precisely the same latitude as balmy Rome. And some scientists saythe heat also warms Americans and Canadians. "It's a real mistake to think of this solely as a European phenomenon," says Joyce.Having given up its heat to the air,the now-cooler water becomes denser and sinks into the North Atlantic by a mile or more in a process oceanographers call thermohaline circulation. This massive column of cascading cold is the main engine powering a deepwater current called the Great Ocean Conveyor that snakes through all the world's oceans. But as the North Atlantic fills with freshwater, it grows less dense,making the waters carried northward by the Gulf Stream less able to sink. The new mass of relatively fresh water sits on top of the ocean like a big thermal blanket,threatening the thermohaline circulation. That in turn could make the Gulf Stream slow or veer southward. At some point, the whole system could simply shut down, and do so quickly. "There is increasing evidence that we are getting closer to a transition point, from which we can jump to a new state.。

雅思考试阅读全面解析及答案(10)

雅思考试阅读全面解析及答案(10)Sun's fickle heart may leave us cold 25 January 2007 From New Scientist Pri nt Edition. Stuart Clark1 There's 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 b etween ice ages on Earth. So says a physicist who has created a computer model of our star's core.2 Robert Ehrlich of George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, modelled the effect of temperature fluctuations in the sun's interior. According to the standard view, the temperature of the sun's core is held constant by the opp osing pressures of 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 Konko ly Observatory of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. In 2005, Grandpierre and a collaborator, Gábor ágoston, calculated that magnetic fields in the sun's c ore could produce small instabilities in the solar plasma. These instabilities would induce localised oscillations in temperature.4 Ehrlich's model shows that whilst most of these oscillations cancel each other out, some reinforce one another and become long-lived temperature variat ions. The favoured frequencies allow the sun's core temperature to oscillate ar ound its average temperature of 13.6 million kelvin in cycles lasting either 10 0,000 or 41,000 years. Ehrlich says that random interactions within the sun's magnetic field could flip the fluctuations from one cycle length to the other.5 These two timescales are instantly recognisable to anyone familiar with E arth's ice ages: for the past million years, ice ages have occurred roughly e very 100,000 years. Before that, they occurred roughly every 41,000 years.6 Most scientists believe that the ice ages are the result of subtle change s in Earth's orbit, known as the Milankovitch cycles. One such cycle describes the way Earth's orbit gradually changes shape from a circle to a slight ellipseand back again roughly every 100,000 years. The theory says this alters the a mount of solar radiation that Earth receives, triggering 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 Open University in Milton Keynes, UK. Nor is the transition problem the only one the Milankovitch theory faces. Ehrlich and other critics claim that the tempera ture variations caused by Milankovitch cycles are simply not big enough to drive ice ages.8 However, Edwards believes the small changes in solar heating produced by Milankovitch cycles are then amplified by feedback mechanisms on Earth. For exa mple, if sea ice begins to form because of a slight cooling, carbon dioxide t hat would otherwise have found its way into the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle is locked into the ice. That weakens the greenhouse effect and Earth gr ows even colder.9 According to Edwards, there is no lack of such mechanisms. "If you add t heir 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 scientists 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 observat ion," he says. "I can't see any way of testing [Ehrlich's] idea to see where we are in the temperature oscillation."10 Ehrlich concedes this. "If there is a way to test this theory on the sun,I can't think of one that is practical," he says. That's because variation ov er 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. Their cores are much smaller t han 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.11 Nigel Weiss, a solar physicist at the University of Cambridge, is far from convinced. He describes Ehrlich's claims as "utterly implausible". Ehrlichcounters that Weiss's opinion is based on the standard solar model, which fai ls to take into account the magnetic instabilities that cause the temperature f luctuations.(716 words)Complete each of the following statements with One or Two names of the scie ntists from the box below.Write the appropriate letters A-E in boxes 1-4 on your answer sheet.A.

雅思阅读十大场景文章赏析雅思阅读场景赏析举例一.动物类:Polar Bears Listed as ThreatenedPolar bears were added to the list of threatened species and will receive special protection under U.S. law. In his statement, Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne noted that the decline of Arctic sea ice is the greatest threat to the bears.Polar bears live in the Arctic and hunt seals and other fatty marine mammals from sea ice. They also travel, mate, and sometimes give birth on the ice. But sea ice is melting as the planet warms, and it is predicted to continue to do so for several more decades."Because polar bears are vulnerable to this loss of habitat, they are—in my judgment—likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future," Kempthorne said.Although many scientists say that human activity is directly responsible for the melting sea ice, the new polar bear protections will not change U.S. climate policy.The U.S. classifies the polar bear as a marine mammal, which means that the bear's new threatened status will not stop oil exploration within its habitat. Hunting of polar bears as a food source by certain native people and trade in native handicrafts made from polar bears will also continue. However, importing polar bear products from Canada (where trophy hunting is legal) will be banned.Scott Bergen is a landscape ecologist with the New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society and a contributing author to U.S. Geological Survey studies released in that found two-thirds of the world's polar bears could go extinct by 2050. He and other WCS staff are "almost elated" with the decision, he said."Even though it doesn't directly influence carbon emissions so to speak, we think it is a definite decision in the right direction and we're pleased to see the Fish and Wildlife Service is supporting the best science on this species," he added.Bergen noted that saving the polar bear will depend on international cooperation. Permanent sea-ice habitat is likely to remain in areas outside of the U.S., particularly in Canada and Greenland.Scientists view these areas as refuges that could allow some polar bear populations to survive over the long term and repopulate the Arctic if temperatures decrease and sea ice returns."If you take a long-term view—meaning a hundred-year view into the future," he said, "polar bears' existence is not necessarily totally dependent on what happens in the United States."Polar bears were added to the list of threatened species and will receive special protection under U.S. law.

Permanent sea-ice habitat is likely to remain in areas outside of the U.S., particularly in Canada and Greenland.Scientists view these areas as refuges that could allow some polar bear populations to survive over the long term and repopulate the Arctic if temperatures decrease and sea ice returns."If you take a long-term view—meaning a hundred-year view into the future," he said, "polar bears' existence is not necessarily totally dependent on what happens in the United States."READING PASSAGE TOPIC:文章结构。
