雅思阅读复习难点题型分析:配对题的应对策略
唐僧说学校是不图赚钱的,白痴是不能当教授的,卖狗肉是不能挂羊头的;专家说标题配对题的难度不是吹的。若要在雅思各题型中按照难度系数进行排名,标题配对题无疑摘得头魁。
实际上,这一在雅思题型难度系数中夺得头魁的题型并没有考生们所想象的那么恐怖,应对这种题型,考生们要做的首先就是“知己知彼,百战不殆”,也就是说考生们首先要了解这种题型的特点。
这种题型的典型特点就是题目通常放在文章前面,而且答案不会重复使用,所以考生们在考试时首先要看题目中是否给出例子,若给出例子,则要把例子中所用过的答案划掉,因为它不会再被用到;而且这一特点决定这种题目总是一错错一双。另外这种题型主要考查考生们根据上下文猜出某些词句大意,弄清句子之间的逻辑关系,正确理解文章,把握段落大意和主旨的能力。
因此考生们要做的就是运用专家所讲过的“无词阅读法”, 在做题时先读懂段落的第一、二句,然后略读其他句子,弄清句子之间的逻辑关系,从而非常轻松地得出段落大意。而句子之间的逻辑关系一共有以下几种:
其他句子解释说明第一、二句,即段落为总分式结构,如剑1,Test 4,passage 1的C段(这种情况下,段落大意根据第一、二句归纳即可)
But it is not only in technology and commerce that glass has widened its horizons. The use of glass as art, a tradition going back at least to Roman times, is also booming. Nearly everywhere, it seems, men and women are blowing glass and creating works of art. ‘ I didn’t sell a piece of glass until 1975,’ Dale Chihuly said, smiling, for the 18 years since the end of the dry spell, he has become one of the most financially successful artists of the 20th century. He now has a new commission—a glass sculpture for the headquarters building of a pizza company—for which his fee is half a million dollars.
解题:首先读段落的第一、二句话,考生们会发现第一句实际为一个强调句式,强调“not only in technology and commerce”。我么都知道“not only…but also…”的句式重点要讲的是“but also”后面的内容而非“not only”后的内容,因此运用“无词阅读法”,考生就可以不用关注第一句话的大意了,直接进入第二句话,关注“but also”的内容;第二句话中,也运用无词阅读法,只看主句,考生即可以抓出大意为“玻璃作为艺术的应用也在兴盛”;第三句中的blowing glass,可能考生们陌生,但其并列内容“creating works of art”认识即可,第三句话大意为“男性女性都在创造艺术品”;第四句和第五句我们略读一下即可知道,作者在运用艺术家Dale Chihuly的例子解释说明玻璃在艺术方面应用的兴盛。因此最终我们可以断定此段中第三、四、五句内容是解释说明第一、二句内容的。段落大意根据第一、二句归纳,答案为 i Growth in the market for glass crafts
出现转折词或相应表达,把思路逆转,如剑6,Test 2,passage 1的E段(这种情况下,段落大意根据转折后面的内容归纳)
It was once assumed that improvements in telecommunications would lead to more dispersal in the population as people were no longer forced into cities. However, the ISTP team’s research demonstrates that the population and job density of cities rose or remained constant in the 1980s after decades of decline. The explanation for this seems to be that it is valuable to place people working in related fields together. ‘The new world will largely depend on human creativity, and creativity flourishes where people come together face-to-face.’
解题:读此段时,考生会发现在第二句出现however一词,这种情况下,第一句的内容即可以忽略,考生应该直接读第二句及其后面的内容。运用无词阅读法,第二句大意为“人口和工作密度实际上是增长或保持不变的”;第三句话解释说明出现这种情况的原因是把相关领域工作的人放在一起是非常有价值的;第四句话又引用一句话来进一步解释说明。因此我们根据转折厚的内容选出此段大意为 iii The benefits of working together in cities。而陷阱为vi The impact of telecommunications on population distribution。
附加新的信息,即信息之间为并列关系,如剑1,Test 4,passage 1中的B段(这种情况下,考生需要找信息之间的共同点,段落大意根据共同点得出)
On the horizon are optical computers. These could store programs and process information by means of light—pulses from tiny lasers—rather than electrons. And the pulses would travel over glass fibers, not copper wire. These machines could function hundreds of times faster than today’s electronic computers and hold vastly more information. Today fiber optics are used to obtain a cleaner image of smaller and smaller objects than ever before—even bacterial viruses. A new generation of optical instruments is emerging that can provide detailed imaging of the inner workings of cells. It is the surge in fiber optic use and in liquid crystal displays that has set the U.S. glass industry (a 16 billion dollar business employing some 150,000 workers) to building new plants to meet demand.
解题:考生在运用“无词阅读法”略读此段的过程中会发现第一、二、三和第四句都是关于optical computers的;第五句内容是关于fiber optics的;第六句是关于optical instruments的;第七句是关于fiber optic use and in liquid crystal displays的。显然段落中在不断附加新的信息,寻找信息之间的共同点,我们会发现信息都是和optic有关的,因此答案为viii Exiting innovations in fiber optics,而陷阱为ii Computers and their dependence on glass。
最后一、二句归纳总结前文,如剑6,Test 4,passage 1中的C段(这种情况下,考生根据最后一、二句话归纳段落大意即可)
Selling pharmaceuticals is a daily exercise in ethical judgment. Salespeople like Schaefer walk the line between the common practice of buying a prospect’s time with a free meal, and bribing doctors to prescribe their drugs. They work in an industry highly criticized for its sales and marketing practices, but find themselves in the middle of the age-old chicken-or-egg question – business won’t use strategies that don’t work, so are doctors to blame for the escalating extravagance of pharmaceutical marketing? Or is it the industry’s responsibility to decide the boundaries?
解题:运用无词阅读法,略读该段,考生会发现段落的第三句后半部分和第四句,作者用逻辑词so,并采用问句的形式引出结论:so are doctors to blame for the escalating extravagance of pharmaceutical marketing? Or is it the industry’s responsibility to decide the boundaries? 我们在归纳该段的段落大意时,就应该根据第三句so后面的内容来归纳,所以答案选Who is responsible for the increase in promotion?
考生们需要注意,在雅思考试中,以第三种逻辑关系最为常见,而第四种出现频率最小。

雅思阅读:美国独立宣言
The Declaration of Independence
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4,
1776 THE UNANIMOUS
DECLARATION OF THE
THIRTEEN UNITED
STATES OF AMERAICA
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws Nature and Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
在人类事务发展的过程中,当一个民族必须解除同另一个民族的联系,并按照自然法则和上帝的旨意,以独立平等的身份立于世界列国之林时,出于对人类舆论的尊重,必须把驱使他们独立的原因予以宣布。
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that they are among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among them, deriving their just power from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than t right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity, which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is usurpations, all having in direct object tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
我们认为下述真理是不言而喻的:人人生而平等,造物主赋予他们若干不可让与的权利,其中包括生存权、自由权和追求幸福的权利。为了保障这些权利,人们才在他们中间建立政府,而政府的正当权利,则是经被统治者同意授予的。任何形式的政府一旦对这些目标的实现起破坏作用时,人民便有权予以更换或废除,以建立一个新的政府。新政府所依据的原则和组织其权利的方式,务使人民认为唯有这样才最有可能使他们获得安全和幸福。若真要审慎的来说,成立多年的政府是不应当由于无关紧要的和一时的原因而予以更换的。过去的一切经验都说明,任何苦难,只要尚能忍受,人类还是情愿忍受,也不想为申冤而废除他们久已习惯了的政府形式。然而,当始终追求同一目标的一系列滥用职权和强取豪夺的行为表明政府企图把人民至于专制暴政之下时,人民就有权也有义务去推翻这样的政府,并为其未来的安全提供新的保障。这就是这些殖民地过去忍受苦难的经过,也是他们现在不得不改变政府制度的原因。当今大不列颠王国的历史,就是屡屡伤害和掠夺这些殖民地的历史,其直接目标就是要在各州之上建立一个独裁暴政。为了证明上述句句属实,现将事实公诸于世,让公正的世人作出评判。
He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
他拒绝批准对公众利益最有益、最必需的法律。
He has forbidden his Governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend them.
他禁止他的殖民总督批准刻不容缓、极端重要的法律,要不就先行搁置这些法律直至征得他的同意,而这些法律被搁置以后,他又完全置之不理。
He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
他拒绝批准便利大地区人民的其他的法律,除非这些地区的人民情愿放弃自己在自己在立法机构中的代表权;而代表权对人民是无比珍贵的,只有暴君才畏惧它。
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
他把各州的立法委员召集到一个异乎寻常、极不舒适而有远离他们的档案库的地方去开会,其目的无非是使他们疲惫不堪,被迫就范。
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasion on the rights of the people.
他一再解散各州的众议院,因为后者坚决反对他侵犯人民的权利。
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolution, to cause others to be elected ;whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without and convulsion within.
他在解散众议院之后,又长期拒绝另选他人,于是这项不可剥夺的立法权便归由普通人民来行使,致使在这其间各州仍处于外敌入侵和内部骚乱的种.种危险之中。
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws of naturalizing of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the condition of new appropriations of lands.
他力图阻止各州增加人口,为此目的,他阻挠外国人入籍法的通过,拒绝批准其他鼓励移民的法律,并提高分配新土地的条件。
He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent of laws for establishing judiciary powers.
他拒绝批准建立司法权利的法律,以阻挠司法的执行。
He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their office, and the amount and payment of their salary.
他迫使法官为了保住任期、薪金的数额和支付而置于他个人意志的支配之下。
He has erected a multitude of new officers, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out our substances.
他滥设新官署,委派大批官员到这里骚扰我们的人民,吞噬他们的财物。
He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislatures.
他在和平时期,未经我们立法机构同意,就在我们中间维持其常备军。
He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.
他施加影响,使军队独立于文官政权之外,并凌驾于文官政权之上。
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation.For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us;
他同他人勾结,把我们置于一种既不符合我们的法规也未经我们法律承认的管辖之下,而且还批准他们炮制的各种伪法案,以便任其在我们中间驻扎大批武装部队;
For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murder which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States.
不论这些人对我们各州居民犯下何等严重的谋杀罪,他可用加审判来庇护他们,让他们逍遥法外;

雅思高分心得
首先是听力部分,听力B段课程给了我很多细节方面的帮忙,C段课程则给了我一个宏观方向解题的方法。在课程过程中,Demi老师每节课的听写是帮忙学生找出自己词汇方面漏洞的最好时机。所有的错词要记录并且反复听写。
推荐使用“雅思王听力”中名词的听写部分还有Sophie老师给与的7分机经单词,我在考前将它们刷了三遍,这就给予了自己必须的拼写基础和听力所需要的感觉。
然后,听力最重要的是多听多练习,当自己遇到错误点,听不出的点能够反复精听再复述。Sophie老师是让我们做听写练习,我认为基础比较好的同学能够直接听写文本中最困难的部分,不用每句话都听写下来。我感觉在B段升C段的过程中,我的听力是有质的进步的。
第二是阅读部分,阅读其实重要的是解题方法,遇到不同的题型都要采用不同的解决思路和解题顺序,这些老师课堂上都会详细地提及。
再次就是多练习,在做题中积累生词和替换词。当题目做多了,一个人能够很好的明白自己的阅读水平大概是多少分。然后再透过了解自己的水平和知识缺漏点,寻找相应的解决办法。我在做完每一篇阅读之后,都会精读全文,用荧光笔标注生词,方便二次复习。但是,我很容易阅读钻牛角尖,所以有一样问题的同学能够尽量将阅读题目与文章进行详细比较,选取最贴近文章的答案,不要过度思考,也不要凭感觉做题。
我的阅读从一开始备考雅思到最终结束复习一向都稳定在7分,不高也不低,所以我觉得阅读考试是一个真正考出水平的考试,很难在短时间内有很大的提升,所以平时一年一年的积累是十分重要的。我个人很不喜欢看新闻所以也不爱听英文广播,和我一样的同学能够多看美剧给自己营造语言环境,从看美剧中也能够丰富口语的谈资的。
第三是写作部分,对我而言这是最困难的一个部分了,而且我的写作分数不高,我在平时的练习中水平也一向只写在6分。在这个模块我会写的相对较少一些。写作光靠自己是很难进步的,如果能够大家还是尽量买书或者上课。在我看来,雅思写作有两个重要点:一是背诵替换词、二是句型多样化。
第四是口语部分,在课上老师会带给思路,也会让同学们进行试讲,大家必须要利用好上课的时间,积累素材和好词好句并且勇敢地表达自己。在课下有空就能够写题卡,我是最后半个月才开始写题卡,所以每一天花费很多时间在口语上,如果在一开始备考就开始好好准备题卡,我相信在后面的学习中会更简单一些。
我在考前是准备好了所有part1和part2还有一半的part3。这个准备并不是完全的每句话的`背诵,而是记忆该讲的点,和能够用上的好词。口语可能是存在压分现象的,但是我觉得只要好好准备,它并不会影响你整体的成绩。并且还是看个人的积累,因为在part3你不明白自己会被问到什么问题,你的整体回答会不会有一些文化差异让考官听得不明白。所以平时的练习和题卡的书写必不可少,争取在part1和part2就给考官留下一个好印象。
最后想提的是,很感谢新航道的老师们和助教们,他们都在我备考期间给了我很多帮忙和鼓励,老师私下安慰鼓励的话,都让我更放松并且有自信地应对考试。
但是只上课并不足够,关键还是要靠自己课下的努力,而且雅思是一个考出水平的考试,不可能在一夜之间就从5分学到7分,所以不要急于求成,课下遇到的问题能够多和老师交流。还有,我在备考期间的用书除了剑桥4-12,也刷完了9分达人听力4,和9分达人阅读2和3。但不要为了背答案而去刷题,更主要的是自己对照所带给的中英文对文章有一个透彻的理解。
篇3:如何轻松应对雅思阅读配对题
雅思阅读配对题一直是不少雅思考生又爱又恨的题目,它形似summary 类填空题,需要回原文定位分析,但有部分题目又需要识别选项中与原文答案的同义替换,两个环节缺一不可。
这些方法让你轻松应对雅思阅读配对题
今天我们先来看一个雅思阅读中的经典题目,从而具体分析如何轻松应对雅思阅读配对题。
标题:
Greying population stays in the pink
问题:
Research carried out by scientists in theUnited States has shown that the proportion of people over 65 suffering fromthe most common age-related medical problems is (14) and thatthe speed of this change is (15) It also seems that these diseases are affecting people (16 )in life thanthey did in the past. This is largely due to developments in( 17) but otherfactors such as improved (18) may also be playing a part. Increases in some other illnesses maybe due to changes in personal habits and to (19 )The researchestablishes a link between levels of (20) and lifeexpectancy. It also shows that there has been a considerable reduction in thenumber of elderly people who are (21 )which means that the (22) involved in supporting this section of the population may be lessthan previously predicted.
题型分布:选词summary--句子配对题(题型种类少,填空题目多达9题,可以按照本题顺序做)
审题
(1) 题目提醒(无提示考察哪些段落)
(2) 小标题(无小标题提示考察内容)
(3) 题型顺序(首个题型,数目多,按照首段顺序读)
解题步骤
选项词性/褒贬分组
选项词性既有名词,又有形容词,更有doing结构。而且,有两组反义词falling、increasing,earlier、later,可分别为同一空的备用选项。
预判
对于Q14的词性及色彩预判难点在于判断首个空前is的真正主语是谁。这里涉及到长难句分析,采用括号法将句子中的修饰成分去掉,我们抽出的句子主干如下:Research ( carried out by scientists in the United States ) has shown that the proportion ( of people over 65 suffering from the most common age-related medical problems ) is ______.
这里面我们总结出一个修饰结构sth./sb. + ( doing sth. / done by sth. / 介词+名词),括号内的部分都是修饰性结构,我们真正关注的是这些结构前面的名词。去掉括号内的结构后,我们发现我们要的答案其实在这样一个结构中 proportion is _________ 。能力比较强的同学其实还会发现14、15、16空含有并列结构 and和also,句子色彩是保持一致的。
定位
第一句话题干中有United States和65作为显性定位词,而且从首段读开始读符合常理。通过预判寻找proportion 或其替换词。原文第2段含有结构 smaller proportion满足了要求,其他部分也与刚刚划出的括号内的结构有对应。
解题
Q14中词库中falling 对 smaller 做了替换,即为答案,反映出老年人患病人口减少的情况。
Q15与之用and并列,表示这种speed如何,根据并列结构‘结构相同,色彩一致’的原则,选increasing 问题不大。原文中rate 与speed 对应,rate (at which these diseases are declining )continues to accelerate. 注意括号法的使用,即使考鸭们不熟悉accelerate(加速),根据 continue 代表动作的持续加之与前面内容色彩一致,increasing依旧为答案。
Q16通过than的出现判断此空为比较级,earlier, later, more都符合,题目中 be donging及in the past 的出现表明在进行今昔对比。根据色彩一致性,疾病应该对老年人影响越来越晚为好。文章中第3段最后一句通过数据比较给出了答案即later。
Q17、Q18中间用到了but衔接,难度并不大,答案依次为M 、J。
需要指出的是Q19 Q20同样适用了并列结构,尤其是Q19答案词性并不是常见的to do 结构。根据我刚刚提到的并列的两部分‘结构相同’的原则,可知Q19为与changes并列的名词。Q19 Q20 答案依次为N 、K。
而需要指出的是Q21不少考鸭容易误选independent, 是因为忽视了reduction 这种表示色彩正负的关键词的提示,原文与之对应的为第7段的drop。所以,会顺利选出G。
最后,Q22所在句子本身定位不明显,但有明显的比较级less做定位,回到原文第7段尾句,我们找到了答案financial burden 替换为cost。
雅思考试阅读模拟练习及答案
new weapon to fight cancer
1. British scientists are preparing to launch trials of a radical new way to fight cancer, which kills tumours by infecting them with viruses like the common cold.
2. If successful, virus therapy could eventually form a third pillar alongside radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the standard arsenal against cancer, while avoiding some of the debilitating side-effects.
3. Leonard Seymour, a professor of gene therapy at Oxford University, who has been working on the virus therapy with colleagues in London and the US, will lead the trials later this year. Cancer Research UK said yesterday that it was excited by the potential of Prof Seymour’s pioneering techniques.
4. One of the country’s leading geneticists, Prof Seymour has been working with viruses that kill cancer cells directly, while avoiding harm to healthy tissue. “In principle, you’ve got something which could be many times more effective than regular chemotherapy,” he said.
5. Cancer-killing viruses exploit the fact that cancer cells suppress the body’s local immune system. “If a cancer doesn’t do that, the immune system wipes it out. If you can get a virus into a tumour, viruses find them a very good place to be because there’s no immune system to stop them replicating. You can regard it as the cancer’s Achilles’ heel.”
6. Only a small amount of the virus needs to get to the cancer. “They replicate, you get a million copies in each cell and the cell bursts and they infect the tumour cells adjacent and repeat the process,” said Prof Seymour.
7. Preliminary research on mice shows that the viruses work well on tumours resistant to standard cancer drugs. “It’s an interesting possibility that they may have an advantage in killing drug-resistant tumours, which could be quite different to anything we’ve had before.”
8. Researchers have known for some time that viruses can kill tumour cells and some aspects of the work have already been published in scientific journals. American scientists have previously injected viruses directly into tumours but this technique will not work if the cancer is inaccessible or has spread throughout the body.
9. Prof Seymour’s innovative solution is to mask the virus from the body’s immune system, effectively allowing the viruses to do what chemotherapy drugs do - spread through the blood and reach tumours wherever they are. The big hurdle has always been to find a way to deliver viruses to tumours via the bloodstream without the body’s immune system destroying them on the way.
10. “What we’ve done is make chemical modifications to the virus to put a polymer coat around it - it’s a stealth virus when you inject it,” he said.
11. After the stealth virus infects the tumour, it replicates, but the copies do not have the chemical modifications. If they escape from the tumour, the copies will be quickly recognised and mopped up by the body’s immune system.
12. The therapy would be especially useful for secondary cancers, called metastases, which sometimes spread around the body after the first tumour appears. “There’s an awful statistic of patients in the west ... with malignant cancers; 75% of them go on to die from metastases,” said Prof Seymour.
13. Two viruses are likely to be examined in the first clinical trials: adenovirus, which normally causes a cold-like illness, and vaccinia, which causes cowpox and is also used in the vaccine against smallpox. For safety reasons, both will be disabled to make them less pathogenic in the trial, but Prof Seymour said he eventually hopes to use natural viruses.
14. The first trials will use uncoated adenovirus and vaccinia and will be delivered locally to liver tumours, in order to establish whether the treatment is safe in humans and what dose of virus will be needed. Several more years of trials will be needed, eventually also on the polymer-coated viruses, before the therapy can be considered for use in the NHS. Though the approach will be examined at first for cancers that do not respond to conventional treatments, Prof Seymour hopes that one day it might be applied to all cancers.

篇4:雅思阅读难点之配对题的应对策略
雅思阅读复习难点题型分析:配对题的应对策略
唐僧说学校是不图赚钱的,白痴是不能当教授的,卖狗肉是不能挂羊头的;专家说标题配对题的难度不是吹的。若要在雅思各题型中按照难度系数进行排名,标题配对题无疑摘得头魁。
实际上,这一在雅思题型难度系数中夺得头魁的题型并没有考生们所想象的那么恐怖,应对这种题型,考生们要做的首先就是“知己知彼,百战不殆”,也就是说考生们首先要了解这种题型的特点。
这种题型的典型特点就是题目通常放在文章前面,而且答案不会重复使用,所以考生们在考试时首先要看题目中是否给出例子,若给出例子,则要把例子中所用过的答案划掉,因为它不会再被用到;而且这一特点决定这种题目总是一错错一双。另外这种题型主要考查考生们根据上下文猜出某些词句大意,弄清句子之间的逻辑关系,正确理解文章,把握段落大意和主旨的能力。
因此考生们要做的就是运用专家所讲过的“无词阅读法”, 在做题时先读懂段落的第一、二句,然后略读其他句子,弄清句子之间的逻辑关系,从而非常轻松地得出段落大意。而句子之间的逻辑关系一共有以下几种:
其他句子解释说明第一、二句,即段落为总分式结构,如剑1,Test 4,passage 1的C段(这种情况下,段落大意根据第一、二句归纳即可)
But it is not only in technology and commerce that glass has widened its horizons. The use of glass as art, a tradition going back at least to Roman times, is also booming. Nearly everywhere, it seems, men and women are blowing glass and creating works of art. ‘ I didn’t sell a piece of glass until 1975,’ Dale Chihuly said, smiling, for the 18 years since the end of the dry spell, he has become one of the most financially successful artists of the 20th century. He now has a new commission—a glass sculpture for the headquarters building of a pizza company—for which his fee is half a million dollars.
解题:首先读段落的第一、二句话,考生们会发现第一句实际为一个强调句式,强调“not only in technology and commerce”。我么都知道“not only…but also…”的句式重点要讲的是“but also”后面的内容而非“not only”后的内容,因此运用“无词阅读法”,考生就可以不用关注第一句话的大意了,直接进入第二句话,关注“but also”的内容;第二句话中,也运用无词阅读法,只看主句,考生即可以抓出大意为“玻璃作为艺术的应用也在兴盛”;第三句中的blowing glass,可能考生们陌生,但其并列内容“creating works of art”认识即可,第三句话大意为“男性女性都在创造艺术品”;第四句和第五句我们略读一下即可知道,作者在运用艺术家Dale Chihuly的例子解释说明玻璃在艺术方面应用的兴盛。因此最终我们可以断定此段中第三、四、五句内容是解释说明第一、二句内容的。段落大意根据第一、二句归纳,答案为 i Growth in the market for glass crafts
出现转折词或相应表达,把思路逆转,如剑6,Test 2,passage 1的E段(这种情况下,段落大意根据转折后面的内容归纳)
It was once assumed that improvements in telecommunications would lead to more dispersal in the population as people were no longer forced into cities. However, the ISTP team’s research demonstrates that the population and job density of cities rose or remained constant in the 1980s after decades of decline. The explanation for this seems to be that it is valuable to place people working in related fields together. ‘The new world will largely depend on human creativity, and creativity flourishes where people come together face-to-face.’
解题:读此段时,考生会发现在第二句出现however一词,这种情况下,第一句的内容即可以忽略,考生应该直接读第二句及其后面的内容。运用无词阅读法,第二句大意为“人口和工作密度实际上是增长或保持不变的”;第三句话解释说明出现这种情况的原因是把相关领域工作的人放在一起是非常有价值的;第四句话又引用一句话来进一步解释说明。因此我们根据转折厚的内容选出此段大意为 iii The benefits of working together in cities。而陷阱为vi The impact of telecommunications on population distribution。
附加新的信息,即信息之间为并列关系,如剑1,Test 4,passage 1中的B段(这种情况下,考生需要找信息之间的共同点,段落大意根据共同点得出)
On the horizon are optical computers. These could store programs and process information by means of light—pulses from tiny lasers—rather than electrons. And the pulses would travel over glass fibers, not copper wire. These machines could function hundreds of times faster than today’s electronic computers and hold vastly more information. Today fiber optics are used to obtain a cleaner image of smaller and smaller objects than ever before—even bacterial viruses. A new generation of optical instruments is emerging that can provide detailed imaging of the inner workings of cells. It is the surge in fiber optic use and in liquid crystal displays that has set the U.S. glass industry (a 16 billion dollar business employing some 150,000 workers) to building new plants to meet demand.
解题:考生在运用“无词阅读法”略读此段的过程中会发现第一、二、三和第四句都是关于optical computers的;第五句内容是关于fiber optics的;第六句是关于optical instruments的;第七句是关于fiber optic use and in liquid crystal displays的。显然段落中在不断附加新的信息,寻找信息之间的共同点,我们会发现信息都是和optic有关的,因此答案为viii Exiting innovations in fiber optics,而陷阱为ii Computers and their dependence on glass。
最后一、二句归纳总结前文,如剑6,Test 4,passage 1中的C段(这种情况下,考生根据最后一、二句话归纳段落大意即可)
Selling pharmaceuticals is a daily exercise in ethical judgment. Salespeople like Schaefer walk the line between the common practice of buying a prospect’s time with a free meal, and bribing doctors to prescribe their drugs. They work in an industry highly criticized for its sales and marketing practices, but find themselves in the middle of the age-old chicken-or-egg question – business won’t use strategies that don’t work, so are doctors to blame for the escalating extravagance of pharmaceutical marketing? Or is it the industry’s responsibility to decide the boundaries?
解题:运用无词阅读法,略读该段,考生会发现段落的第三句后半部分和第四句,作者用逻辑词so,并采用问句的形式引出结论:so are doctors to blame for the escalating extravagance of pharmaceutical marketing? Or is it the industry’s responsibility to decide the boundaries? 我们在归纳该段的段落大意时,就应该根据第三句so后面的内容来归纳,所以答案选Who is responsible for the increase in promotion?
以上就是雅思阅读复习难点题型分析:配对题的应对策略的所有内容。要解决配对题,主要就是要解决2个问题,一个是怎样找到或者说概括出各段的段意,另一个是怎样将这些段意和选项中的段意进行改写和匹配。因为英文文中的段落基本采用总分总结构,因此找段意主要是在段首和段尾找,这样就解决了第一个问题了。第二个问题则是需要我们用同义近义词对这些段意进行转换。

雅思考试阅读辅导资料
A.
When Denis Hennequin took over as the European boss of McDonald’s in January 2004, the world’s biggest restaurant chain was showing signs of recovery in America and Australia, but sales in Europe were sluggish or declining. One exception was France, where Mr Hennequin had done a sterling job as head of the group’s French subsidiary to sell more Big Macs to his compatriots. His task was to replicate this success in all 41 of the European countries where anti-globalisers’ favourite enemy operates.
B.
So far Mr Hennequin is doing well. Last year European sales increased by 5.8% and the number of customers by 3.4%, the best annual results in nearly 15 years. Europe accounted for 36% of the group’s profits and for 28% of its sales. December was an especially good month as customers took to seasonal menu offerings in France and Britain, and to a promotion in Germany based on the game of Monopoly.
C
Mr Hennequin’s recipe for revival is to be more open about his company’s operations, to be “locally relevant”, and to improve the experience of visiting his 6,400 restaurants. McDonald’s is blamed for making people fat, exploiting workers, treating animals cruelly, polluting the environment and simply for being American. Mr Hennequin says he wants to engage in a dialogue with the public to address these concerns.
D.
He introduced “open door” visitor days in each country which became hugely popular. In Poland alone some 50,000 visitors came to McDonald’s through the visitors’ programme last year. The Nutrition Information Initiative, launched last year, put detailed labels on McDonald’s packaging with data on calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates and salt content. The details are also printed on tray-liners.
E.
Mr Hennequin also wants people to know that “McJobs”, the low-paid menial jobs at McDonald’s restaurants, are much better than people think. But some of his efforts have backfired: last year he sparked a controversy with the introduction of a “McPassport” that allows McDonald’s employees to work anywhere in the European Union. Politicians accused the firm of a ploy to make cheap labour from eastern Europe more easily available to McDonald’s managers across the continent.
F.
To stay in touch with local needs and preferences, McDonald’s employs local bosses as much as possible. A Russian is running McDonald’s in Russia, though a Serb is in charge of Germany. The group buys mainly from local suppliers. Four-fifths of its supplies in France come from local farmers, for example. (Some of the French farmers who campaigned against the company in the late 1990s subsequently discovered that it was, in fact, buying their produce.) And it hires celebrities such as Heidi Klum, a German model, as local brand ambassadors.
G.
In his previous job Mr Hennequin established a “design studio” in France to spruce up his company’s drab restaurants and adapt the interior to local tastes. The studio is now masterminding improvements everywhere in Europe. He also set up a “food studio”, where cooks devise new recipes in response to local trends.
H.
Given France’s reputation as the most anti-American country in Europe, it seems odd that McDonald’s revival in Europe is being led by a Frenchman, using ideas cooked up in the French market. But France is in fact the company’s most profitable market after America. The market where McDonald’s is weakest in Europe is not France, but Britain.
I.
“Fixing Britain should be his priority,” says David Palmer, a restaurant analyst at UBS. Almost two-thirds of the 1,214 McDonald’s restaurants in Britain are company-owned, compared with 40% in Europe and 15% in America. The company suffers from the volatility of sales at its own restaurants, but can rely on steady income from franchisees. So it should sell as many underperforming outlets as possible, says Mr Palmer.
J.
M.Mark Wiltamuth, an analyst at Morgan Stanley, estimates that European company-owned restaurants’ margins will increase slightly to 16.4% in 2007. This is still less than in the late 1990s and below America’s 18-19% today. But it is much better than before Mr Hennequin’s reign. He is already being tipped as the first European candidate for the group’s top job in Illinois. Nobody would call that a McJob.

篇5:雅思阅读配对题之如何应对“人物+理论”
雅思阅读配对题--如何应对“人物+理论”
雅思阅读搭配题 --1具体人名
(通常出现first name + last name)搭配理论例如:剑桥4教材Test 2当中的 Reading Passage 1 Lost for words当中的Question 5-8
雅思阅读搭配题 --2集合人物
(通常是某些种族、国际或者社会团体)搭配理论例如:剑桥8教材Test 1当中的 Reading Passage 1 A Chronicle of Timekeeping当中的Question 5-8在绝大多数的雅思真题当中,本类题型基本上需要考生在整篇文章当中寻找相关的信息,所以其所覆盖的范围相对比较大。
本类题型的定位可以说是所有搭配题当中相对比较容易的,因为人物本身就是雅思阅读当中相对比较好找的定位词,所以无论人物是出现在这种类型题目的题干还是选项当中,他们都可以作为定位词。
但是有两点需要注意:? 人物可能在原文当中不止出现一次,也就是说同一组人群或者同一个人物可能出现在不同的段落当中,而且在同一个段落当中,人物可能还出现在不止一句话当中,所以这些相对应的句子或者段落都是我们需要进行解题的目标范围;
? 如果雅思阅读题目是具体人名(通常出现first name + last name)理论型搭配题,那么人物在第一次出现的时候一定会是完整的first name + last name的形式,但是从人物第二次出现开始,一般都只出现该人物的last name,所以考生在定位的时候需要极其注意不要漏掉任何一个人物出现的句子。
比如说:Michael Jackson如果第一次在文章中出现,那么一定是完整的first name + last name的形式,但是当他第二次或者第三次出现的时候,一般就只会出现Jackson了,也就是他的last name。
雅思阅读搭配题 --解题关键
如同事物+特征类搭配题一样,人物+理论类题目也要在解题之前注意题干和选项数量的配比。在这种题目当中,有时候在题目的要求当中会出现NB的要求,也就是小提示:You may use any letter more than once.在这个时候如果选项是人物的话,NB的要求的出现就意味着有一个人物会被选到两次,而根据经验,这个重复选择的人物通常都是原文当中出现最多的人物。
例如:剑桥4教材Test 2当中的 Reading Passage 1 Lost for words后面的Question 5-8当中,因为题干中有NB的要求,那么这道题目的五道小题当中就会有两个题选择同一个人物,而这个人物就有可能是在原文当中出现最多的那一位。
所以,在解答这道题目的时候,我们不难发现最终重复选择的那个人物是B选项的Salikoko Myfwene,而这个任务在原文当中分别出现在了第五段,第六段和第七段,是所有选项人物当中出现次数最多的。所以,在解题的时候提前考虑一下题目和选项的配比也是解答人物+理论型搭配题的一个讨巧之处。
雅思阅读全真练习系列:Time to cool it
Time to cool it
1 REFRIGERATORS are the epitome of clunky technology: solid, reliable and just a little bit dull. They have not changed much over the past century, but then they have not needed to. They are based on a robust and effective idea--draw heat from the thing you want to cool by evaporating a liquid next to it, and then dump that heat by pumping the vapour elsewhere and condensing it. This method of pumping heat from one place to another served mankind well when refrigerators' main jobs were preserving food and, as air conditioners, cooling buildings. Today's high-tech world, however, demands high-tech refrigeration. Heat pumps are no longer up to the job. The search is on for something to replace them.
2 One set of candidates are known as paraelectric materials. These act like batteries when they undergo a temperature change: attach electrodes to them and they generate a current. This effect is used in infra-red cameras. An array of tiny pieces of paraelectric material can sense the heat radiated by, for example, a person, and the pattern of the array's electrical outputs can then be used to construct an image. But until recently no one had bothered much with the inverse of this process. That inverse exists, however. Apply an appropriate current to a paraelectric material and it will cool down.
3 Someone who is looking at this inverse effect is Alex Mischenko, of Cambridge University. Using commercially available paraelectric film, he and his colleagues have generated temperature drops five times bigger than any previously recorded. That may be enough to change the phenomenon from a laboratory curiosity to something with commercial applications.
4 As to what those applications might be, Dr Mischenko is still a little hazy. He has, nevertheless, set up a company to pursue them. He foresees putting his discovery to use in more efficient domestic fridges and air conditioners. The real money, though, may be in cooling computers.
5 Gadgets containing microprocessors have been getting hotter for a long time. One consequence of Moore's Law, which describes the doubling of the number of transistors on a chip every 18 months, is that the amount of heat produced doubles as well. In fact, it more than doubles, because besides increasing in number, the components are getting faster. Heat is released every time a logical operation is performed inside a microprocessor, so the faster the processor is, the more heat it generates. Doubling the frequency quadruples the heat output. And the frequency has doubled a lot. The first Pentium chips sold by Dr Moore's company, Intel, in 1993, ran at 60m cycles a second. The Pentium 4--the last ”single-core“ desktop processor--clocked up 3.2 billion cycles a second.
6 Disposing of this heat is a big obstruction to further miniaturisation and higher speeds. The innards of a desktop computer commonly hit 80℃. At 85℃, they stop working. Tweaking the processor's heat sinks (copper or aluminium boxes designed to radiate heat away) has reached its limit. So has tweaking the fans that circulate air over those heat sinks. And the idea of shifting from single-core processors to systems that divided processing power between first two, and then four, subunits, in order to spread the thermal load, also seems to have the end of the road in sight.
7 One way out of this may be a second curious physical phenomenon, the thermoelectric effect. Like paraelectric materials, this generates electricity from a heat source and produces cooling from an electrical source. Unlike paraelectrics, a significant body of researchers is already working on it.
8 The trick to a good thermoelectric material is a crystal structure in which electrons can flow freely, but the path of phonons--heat-carrying vibrations that are larger than electrons--is constantly interrupted. In practice, this trick is hard to pull off, and thermoelectric materials are thus less efficient than paraelectric ones (or, at least, than those examined by Dr Mischenko). Nevertheless, Rama Venkatasubramanian, of Nextreme Thermal Solutions in North Carolina, claims to have made thermoelectric refrigerators that can sit on the back of computer chips and cool hotspots by 10℃. Ali Shakouri, of the University of California, Santa Cruz, says his are even smaller--so small that they can go inside the chip.
9 The last word in computer cooling, though, may go to a system even less techy than a heat pump--a miniature version of a car radiator. Last year Apple launched a personal computer that is cooled by liquid that is pumped through little channels in the processor, and thence to a radiator, where it gives up its heat to the atmosphere. To improve on this, IBM's research laboratory in Zurich is experimenting with tiny jets that stir the liquid up and thus make sure all of it eventually touches the outside of the channel--the part where the heat exchange takes place. In the future, therefore, a combination of microchannels and either thermoelectrics or paraelectrics might cool computers. The old, as it were, hand in hand with the new.

雅思阅读全真练习系列:Selling Digital Music without Copy-protection Makes Sense
Selling Digital Music without Copy-protection Makes Sense
A. It was uncharacteristically low-key for the industry’s greatest showman. But the essay published this week by Steve Jobs, the boss of Apple, on his firm’s website under the unassuming title “Thoughts on Music” has nonetheless provoked a vigorous debate about the future of digital music, which Apple dominates with its iPod music-player and iTunes music-store. At issue is “digital rights management” (DRM)—the technology guarding downloaded music against theft. Since there is no common standard for DRM, it also has the side-effect that songs purchased for one type of music-player may not work on another. Apple’s DRM system, called FairPlay, is the most widespread. So it came as a surprise when Mr. Jobs called for DRM for digital music to be abolished.
B. This is a change of tack for Apple. It has come under fire from European regulators who claim that its refusal to license FairPlay to other firms has “locked in” customers. Since music from the iTunes store cannot be played on non-iPod music-players (at least not without a lot of fiddling), any iTunes buyer will be deterred from switching to a device made by a rival firm, such as Sony or Microsoft. When French lawmakers drafted a bill last year compelling Apple to open up FairPlay to rivals, the company warned of “state-sponsored piracy”. Only DRM, it implied, could keep the pirates at bay.
C. This week Mr. Jobs gave another explanation for his former defence of DRM: the record companies made him do it. They would make their music available to the iTunes store only if Apple agreed to protect it using DRM. They can still withdraw their catalogues if the DRM system is compromised. Apple cannot license FairPlay to others, says Mr Jobs, because it would depend on them to produce security fixes promptly. All DRM does is restrict consumer choice and provide a barrier to entry, says Mr Jobs; without it there would be far more stores and players, and far more innovation. So, he suggests, why not do away with DRM and sell music unprotected? “This is clearly the best alternative for consumers,” he declares, “and Apple would embrace it in a heartbeat.”
D. Why the sudden change of heart? Mr Jobs seems chiefly concerned with getting Europe’s regulators off his back. Rather than complaining to Apple about its use of DRM, he suggests, “those unhappy with the current situation should redirect their energies towards persuading the music companies to sell their music DRM-free.” Two and a half of the four big record companies, he helpfully points out, are European-owned. Mr Jobs also hopes to paint himself as a consumer champion. Apple resents accusations that it has become the Microsoft of digital music.
E. Apple can afford to embrace open competition in music players and online stores. Consumers would gravitate to the best player and the best store, and at the moment that still means Apple’s. Mr Jobs is evidently unfazed by rivals to the iPod. Since only 3% of the music in a typical iTunes library is protected, most of it can already be used on other players today, he notes. (And even the protected tracks can be burned onto a CD and then re-ripped.) So Apple’s dominance evidently depends far more on branding and ease of use than DRM-related “lock in”.
F. The music giants are trying DRM-free downloads. Lots of smaller labels already sell music that way. Having seen which way the wind is blowing, Mr Jobs now wants to be seen not as DRM’s defender, but as a consumer champion who helped in its downfall. Wouldn’t it lead to a surge in piracy? No, because most music is still sold unprotected on CDs, people wishing to steal music already can do so. Indeed, scrapping DRM would probably increase online-music sales by reducing confusion and incompatibility. With the leading online store, Apple would benefit most. Mr Jobs’s argument, in short, is transparently self-serving. It also happens to be right.
Questions 1-7 Do the following statemets reflect the claims of the writer in Reading Passage 1?
Write your answer in Boxes 1-7 on your answer sheet.
TRUE if the statement reflets the claims of the writer

NOT GIVEN if it is impossbile to say what the writer thinks about this
1. Apple enjoys a controlling position in digital music market with its iPod music-player and iTunes music-store.

3. Lack of standardization in DRM makes songs bought for one kind of music player may not function on another.
4. Apple has been criticized by European regulators since it has refused to grant a license FairPlay to other firms.
5. All music can be easily played on non-iPod music devices from Sony or Microsoft without too much fiddling.

篇6:雅思阅读配对题解题技巧
雅思阅读中,在通读整个段落之前,我们可以先浏览一遍,看有没有转折词出现,比如but,however,while,though等等,通常,转折词语多位于句首。包含转折词的句子,转折词之前的内容可以不用读,因为它们一般是承上启下的作用,我们的重点可以放在转折词之后的内容。
注意:不是所有转折词都那么明显,有时可能会用别的词语替代,比如refute,Some don’t agree this等等。考生需要多做题,培养对转折词的敏感度和语感。
雅思阅读配对题解题技巧2:不一定要按照顺序阅读文章和做题
我们可以先完成阅读篇幅短的部分段落,之后再阅读篇幅长的部分。这样比较省时间,每个段落都有自己的作用和意义,打乱顺序阅读不会影响做题的正确率。
通常,雅思阅读配对题List of Headings题型难度较高,无法在文章做定位,需要我们通读全文才能着手去做,所以建议大家做完其他题目再做雅思阅读配对题。
雅思阅读配对题解题技巧3:引证和举例的内容可以先忽略
文章段落中,出现的引证和举例内容可以先忽略,我们应该把注意力放在引证和举例之前的部分。比如for example, for instance, A is one of the best examples to demonstrate等等。论据的就是用来阐述论点,所以论据前面的论点语句,通常可以用来做段意选择。
雅思阅读配对题解题技巧4:永远不要纠结某个让你受挫的段落
难免有些文章段落让我们很苦恼,无法做出答案,建议大家不要因此浪费时间纠结。而是应该做个标记,然后move on,去完成其他题目。等到完成其他题目,其实你也就缩小了可选的范围,加上此时如果还剩余时间,还可以再好好阅读原文,找出最合适的答案。

解题步骤
选项词性/褒贬分组
选项词性既有名词,又有形容词,更有doing结构。而且,有两组反义词falling、increasing,earlier、later,可分别为同一空的备用选项。
预判
对于Q14的词性及色彩预判难点在于判断首个空前is的真正主语是谁。这里涉及到长难句分析,采用括号法将句子中的修饰成分去掉,我们抽出的句子主干如下:Research ( carried out by scientists in the United States ) has shown that the proportion ( of people over 65 suffering from the most common age-related medical problems ) is ______.
这里面我们总结出一个修饰结构sth./sb. + ( doing sth. / done by sth. / 介词+名词),括号内的部分都是修饰性结构,我们真正关注的是这些结构前面的名词。去掉括号内的结构后,我们发现我们要的答案其实在这样一个结构中 proportion is _________ 。能力比较强的同学其实还会发现14、15、16空含有并列结构 and和also,句子色彩是保持一致的。
定位
第一句话题干中有United States和65作为显性定位词,而且从首段读开始读符合常理。通过预判寻找proportion 或其替换词。原文第2段含有结构 smaller proportion满足了要求,其他部分也与刚刚划出的括号内的结构有对应。
解题
Q14中词库中falling 对 smaller 做了替换,即为答案,反映出老年人患病人口减少的情况。
Q15与之用and并列,表示这种speed如何,根据并列结构‘结构相同,色彩一致’的原则,选increasing 问题不大。原文中rate 与speed 对应,rate (at which these diseases are declining )continues to accelerate. 注意括号法的使用,即使考鸭们不熟悉accelerate(加速),根据 continue 代表动作的持续加之与前面内容色彩一致,increasing依旧为答案。
Q16通过than的出现判断此空为比较级,earlier, later, more都符合,题目中 be donging及in the past 的出现表明在进行今昔对比。根据色彩一致性,疾病应该对老年人影响越来越晚为好。文章中第3段最后一句通过数据比较给出了答案即later。
Q17、Q18中间用到了but衔接,难度并不大,答案依次为M 、J。
需要指出的是Q19 Q20同样适用了并列结构,尤其是Q19答案词性并不是常见的to do 结构。根据我刚刚提到的并列的两部分‘结构相同’的原则,可知Q19为与changes并列的名词。Q19 Q20 答案依次为N 、K。
而需要指出的是Q21不少考鸭容易误选independent, 是因为忽视了reduction 这种表示色彩正负的关键词的提示,原文与之对应的为第7段的drop。所以,会顺利选出G。
最后,Q22所在句子本身定位不明显,但有明显的比较级less做定位,回到原文第7段尾句,我们找到了答案financial burden 替换为cost。
雅思阅读材料:“来自星星的你”为什么会火?
Beer and fried chicken — this seemingly unorthodox combo has been the most sought after late-night snack recently in Yang Xiaoqian’s dormitory on the campus of Central China Normal University.
炸鸡和啤酒,这个看似怪异的搭配,最近竟成了华中师范大学学生杨晓青(音译)宿舍里最受追捧的夜宵。
“All of a sudden, on the tables of many dorms and in Weibo and Weixin (or WeChat) updates, the combo went viral,” says Yang, 19, a Chinese literature major at the university in Wuhan, Hubei province.
“突然间,宿舍的桌上、微博和微信上,这种吃法一下子火了。”华中师范大学中文系学生、19岁的杨晓青这样说道。
Thanks to a South Korean drama currently on air, Man From the Stars, this new mix-and-match junk food trend has become popular among young audiences, despite its unhealthy nature.
因为正在热播的韩剧《来自星星的你》的关系,这一垃圾食品的全新混搭组合尽管有害健康,但还是受到年轻观众的追捧。
Indeed, South Korean TV dramas, or K-drama for short, have been a major force in the South Korean pop-culture wave that has captured the hearts of young Chinese audiences.
的确,韩国电视剧(简称:韩剧),已成为推动韩国流行文化潮流的主力军,成功虏获了中国年轻观众的心。
According to iQiyi, a video website that features Man From the Stars, by Feb 15, the number of views for the TV drama hit a whopping 370 million in China, where the drama claimed four out of five hot topics spots on TV and on Sina Weibo on the same day.
来自播放《来自星星的你》的视频网站爱奇艺的数据显示,截止到2月15日,该剧在国内的累计播放量达到3.7亿次,与此同时,电视和新浪微博上五分之四的热点话题都被该剧占据。
Yan Feng, professor of Chinese literature at Fudan University, in an interview with Shanghai Morning Post, believes the new wave of South Korean drama is trying to attract a wider audience.
复旦大学中文系教授严峰在接受《新闻晨报》采访时表示,新一轮的韩剧风潮正在吸引更多的观众群体。
“It is interesting to explore what elements of those dramas appeal to audiences. It’s obviously more than just pretty faces and cool poses,” says Yan.
严峰表示,“探寻这些韩剧走红的因素是个有趣的过程。显然,韩剧的背后不仅仅是俊男美女和帅气造型”。
Echoed by audiences, culture critics, academics and insiders of the industry, youth fantasy, creative storylines, cultural proximity, and well-organized production all add up to K-drama’s recipe for success, along with, of course, those handsome and cute faces dressed in the latest fashion trends.
从观众、文化评论家、学者以及业内人士的口中我们可以了解到,青春幻想、创意剧情、文化相似以及制作精良都是韩剧的成功秘诀,当然,更少不了衣着时尚光鲜的俊男美女。
Pretty faces and fashion
俊男美女与时尚的组合
“Everyone fancies a perfect partner, handsome or beautiful,” says Zhou Ying, professor of TV production at Chongqing Technology and Business University. “The South Korean TV industry is feeding this need.” After Lee Min-ho entered the spotlight for his hit show The Inheritors and appeared on CCTV’s annual Spring Festival gala, he became the most famous South Korean in China. Only weeks later, Kim Soo-hyun, lead actor in Man From the Stars, swept the country.
来自重庆工商大学影视制作专业的周颖(音译)教授说:“每个人都幻想着完美的另一半,希望TA是俊男或美女。韩国电视产业正是满足人们的这一需求。”韩星李敏镐因热门剧集《继承者们》而大放异彩后,又现身央视春晚的舞台。如今他已成为中国最知名的韩星。而仅仅几周之后,《来自星星的你》主演金秀贤再次风靡中国。
“It reinforces the fantasy among young people with faces designed for viewers across the spectrum: the next door girl; the rebellious, sophisticated woman; the mature gentleman; little-brother faces. You name it,” says Zhou. “Idol making keeps updating the fantasies among fans and it intentionally caters to each generation’s tastes.”
“剧中的人物满足了不同观众群的审美需求,从而进一步迎合年轻人心中的浪漫情节:邻家女孩;精干熟女;成熟绅士;正太面孔,总有一款适合你”,周颖说。“偶像制造不断刷新着粉丝们的幻想,同时也刻意迎合着每一代人的喜好。”
Apart from pretty faces, fashion is another highlight of the series. Each time actors from the series wear a new set of outfits, similar clothes experience a sales spike online, according to Xiao Yi, a Taobao store owner based in Beijing.
除了俊俏的面孔外,时尚是该剧的另一个亮点。演员每次出场都如同“换装秀”。来自北京的淘宝店主肖逸(音译)表示,同款衣服在网上十分热销。
Zhou says that besides economic gains for South Korean appliances, make-up, food and fashion items, those pretty faces are re-constructing South Korea’s national image.
周颖认为,一方面韩剧带动了韩国家电、化妆品、食品和时尚用品的热销;另一方面,俊男美女们也重塑了韩国的国民形象。
“South Korea is imagined in accordance with those depictions in TV dramas, which is good national branding,” says Zhou.
“人们会根据电视剧里的描写来设想韩国,这是很好的国家品牌宣传。”周颖说。
Creative narrations
创造性的剧情
With love triangles, incurable diseases, and Cinderella tales, storylines in South Korean dramas may seem a bit commonplace. The Man From the Stars challenges this norm by integrating aliens and time travel into these existing narrations.
三角恋、绝症、灰姑娘,这些韩剧剧情似乎显得太过老套了。而《来自星星的你》将外星人和穿越融入到剧情当中,颠覆了韩剧剧情的定式。
Peng Sanyuan, a Beijing-based screenwriter, says a focus on detail is a key factor in the success of these dramas.
来自北京的剧作家彭三源表示,专注细节是这些剧集成功的关键因素。
“In order to accurately target audiences and find emotional resonance with them, more and more female writers are emerging in the industry,” says Peng about her experience of exchanging ideas with South Korean colleagues.
彭三源谈起自己曾与韩国同事交流想法:“为准确定位观众,找到与观众的情感共鸣,电视编剧行业不断涌现出女性作家的身影。”
Ma Ke, from Sohu.com, compares K-drama and Japanese drama. “Dramatic twists are more frequent in K-dramas, while urban love stories, a common theme, are often innovated by, for example, adding an alien,” says Ma. “That gives a sense of freshness to people who just want to know how everything is sorted out in such an impossible plot.”
来自搜狐网的马可(音译)对韩剧和日剧进行了一番比较。“峰回路转的剧情在韩剧中更常见,而都市爱情故事这个‘老生常谈’要想出新的话,就可能会加入外星人等元素,”马可说。“这给人一种新鲜感,观众仅仅是想知道在如此不可思议的情境下剧情是如何发展的。”
According to both experts, South Korean writers somehow make sense of these plots, no matter how unlikely it seems.
以上两位专业人士都认为,韩国编剧总是有办法让这些看似离谱的剧情变得合情合理。
雅思阅读材料:当你路遇没穿外套的小男孩
A boy shivers in the harsh Oslo winter, pathetically wrapping his arms around himself on a bus stop bench. He isn't wearing a coat and temperatures in the Norwegian capital regularly plunge to -10C during winter.
一个小男孩在挪威首都奥斯陆的寒风中瑟瑟发抖,他坐在一个公交车站台,可怜兮兮地环抱着自己的胳膊。他没有穿外套,而此时在冬日的奥斯陆,气温一般都会降到零下10摄氏度。
A heartbreaking scene, but the actions of the ordinary people who witnessed the plight of 11 year old Johannes L?nnestad Flaaten is both joyous and inspiring.
发生在11岁小男孩约翰内斯的这一幕困境让人心碎,但目睹这一幕的普通路人的反应却让人非常感动和充满正能量。
A young blonde woman who sat next to the boy and notices him rubbing his arms. She immediately asks him: 'Don't you have a jacket?'
坐在小男孩旁边的一个年轻的金发女孩注意到他一直在搓摸自己的胳膊,就立即问道:“你没有外套吗?”
'No, someone stole it,' he replies. She questions him and discovers he was on a school trip and was told to meet his teacher at the bus stop. She asks him the name of his school and where he's from as she selflessly drapes her own coat around his shoulders.
“没有,有人把我的外套偷走了,” 他回答道。女孩问过他了解到他是在上学的路上,在公交车站是在等自己的老师。她问了学校的名字,知道他的来历,很无私地把自己的外套脱下来披在他的肩膀上。
Later, another older woman at first gives him her scarf, then wraps him in her large padded jacket.
后来,又一位年长女性先把自己的围巾给了他,然后把他包裹在自己的棉外套里。
Throughout the day, more and more people offered Johannes their gloves and even the coats off their backs as they waited for their bus.
在这中,越来越多等公交车的人把自己的手套给了小约翰内斯,甚至有不少人把自己的外套脱下来了。
Johanne's predicament was a hidden camera experiment by Norwegian charity SOS Children’s Village as part of their winter campaign to gather donations to send much-needed coats and blankets to help Syrian children get through the winter. Many of the refugees have left their homes without winter clothing.
约翰内斯的窘境是一个隐藏摄像机实验,由挪威慈善团体SOS儿童村发起,这是该组织冬日行动的一部分,这个活动是为了筹集更多捐赠为叙利亚儿童送冬日的生活必需品外套和毛毯。许多叙利亚难民在离家时都没带冬天的衣物。
”People should care as much about children in Syria as they care about this boy,“ Synne R?nning, the information head of SOS Children's Villages Norway, told The Local. She also noted that the child was a volunteer who was never in any danger during the filming.
挪威SOS儿童村的信息负责人罗宁对当地电视台表示:“人们应该像关心这个小男孩一样,关注叙利亚的儿童们。” 她也表示在拍摄过程中,志愿者小男孩并没有任何危险。
篇8:雅思阅读配对题四大技巧
如果雅思阅读配对题题干有长有短,则可以重点(key)先记忆短的题干,相对容易(easy)。
读完一个段落(paragraph)后,短题干率先选择(choose)或排除(exclude),有效节省时间(save time)。短的题干随着段落读的遍数越来越多,记忆(memory)也越来越深刻,到最后(finally)几乎(almost)可以确定其去留。
篇9:雅思阅读配对题四大技巧
如果雅思阅读配对题题干中有两个词非常相似(similar),可以并在一起记忆(remember)。
选择时可以有的放矢,提高效率(efficiency)。
篇10:雅思阅读配对题四大技巧
注意解题顺序(order),把雅思阅读配对题型放在最后做。
雅思阅读考试时间是60分钟(minute),平均分配到40道题,每题花费的时间是1.5分钟,压力(pressure)相当之大。
雅思阅读配对题平均花费时间(spend time)要比一般的题目时间长很多,而分值与细节题无异(no difference)。考生应该明确(make sure):把最充裕的(enough)时间留给最有把握和最简单的(simplest)题目。
从真题分析雅思阅读文章来源
分析发现,雅思阅读考试A类文章大多选自国外人文类、经济类和科学类的知名报纸、杂志或政府各部门(UK及世界各国) 的社会发展报告。如:经济学家杂志Economist,金融时报(Financial Times), 卫报(Guardian) ,美国国家地理杂志(National Geographic), New Scientist, Science, Popular Science 和 Nature等。
G类文章从5月份开始,考察的内容导向有所变化,从原来的以“培训”为导向逐步转变为以“工作”为导向。这一背景材料的转变值得引起考生的关注。以下是摘录自雅思考试官方网站的相关内容:
‘From 1 May 2009, we are making a small but important change to the General Training Reading paper.
Currently, Section 2 of the General Training Reading paper focuses on the training context. From 1 May 2009, this section will focus on the work context (e.g. applying for jobs, company policies, pay and conditions, workplace facilities, staff development etc).
The General Training module is increasingly recognised by employers, professional bodies and immigration authorities. This change will ensure that the module will more closely meet the needs of candidates who take IELTS for employment or immigration purposes.
The other sections of the General Training Reading paper will remain unchanged.’
在了解了以上阅读考试的题源出处之后,考生平时进行泛读的时候,可以多选择上面提到的报刊杂志的内容作为材料。这样可以在帮助考生扩大相关背景知识的同时,使得考生能够了解雅思阅读文章的行文风格和常见结构。
G类的考生在平常准备考试的过程中一定要重视这个自09年5月1日起开始的 ‘small but important’的变化。重点补充一些工作类型的文章,例如申请工作、公司政策、工作环境等等。并且有条件的话,多做一些关于商务英语和职场英语方面的训练。
当然,这里老师要向考生说明的是,如一些考试文章在上述网站上搜索起来有困难,考生可以在维京百科上搜索相关的词条内容。拿澳洲考拉举个例子,这是我们雅思考试中考过的有关澳洲的较有特色的动物。很多考生对于这个名字不陌生,但是具体细节谈论起来,相关的知识就比较匮乏了。那么现在只要在搜索框内输入‘Koala’则会出现很多相关的内容,以下仅为部分摘录,
The koala is found in coastal regions of eastern and southern Australia, from near Adelaide to the southern part of Cape York Peninsula. Populations also extend for considerable distances inland in regions with enough moisture to support suitable woodlands. The koala is not found in Tasmania or Western Australia.
通过此段,考生可以大致了解考拉的分布主要在澳洲东部及南部沿海地区,从阿德莱德到约克角半岛南部。而在塔斯马尼亚及西澳地区则没有发现考拉。
A baby koala is referred to as a joey and is hairless, blind, and earless. At birth the joey, only a quarter of an inch long, crawls into the downward-facing pouch on the mother's belly (which is closed by a drawstring-like muscle that the mother can tighten at will) and attaches itself to one of the two teats.
这一段主要介绍考拉宝宝的主要情况,出生时候只有四分之一英寸长,生活在妈妈的育儿袋里。
The koala lives almost entirely on eucalypt leaves. This is likely to be an evolutionary adaptation that takes advantage of an otherwise unfilled ecological niche, since eucalypt leaves are low in protein, high in indigestible substances, and contain phenolic and terpene compounds that are toxic to most species. Like wombats and sloths, the koala has a very low metabolic rate for a mammal and rests motionless for about 16 to 18 hours a day, sleeping most of that time.
本段讲到考拉的饮食几乎完全依赖桉树叶生存,并且考拉的新陈代谢非常慢,一天可以16-18个小时不动。 建议考生在搜索的时候选用英文,在平时学习背景知识的时候,不断扩大对于相关这一主题的词汇量。这样在考试当中遇见相关背景的文章的时候不至于出现因生词过多造成理解误差的情况,同时也可以在考试当中节省阅读时间,保证阅读速度。
教你如何斩获满分雅思阅读
雅思考试总思路:
对于准备任何一门外语考试,均可以从两个方面入手:词汇+真题;其中词汇的主要作用是为随后的做题提供扎实的基础,而真题则是钻研考试思路的全部依据。
我在苏州6月20日这次考试中的结果显示出了词汇上准备的不足,各分项分数如下:阅读9分,听力7.5分,写作6.5分,口语6分,在写作和口语上尤其突出。
教你如何斩获满分雅思阅读
雅思考试词汇:
对于愿意在雅思考试上追求高分,或者意在通过本次考试进一步提升自己英语水平的同学,扎实地记忆雅思词汇至关重要。
我们在背诵词汇时,往往感到枯燥无聊,很快就会怀疑背单词的到底有什么意义,于是乎就半途而废(难怪很多单词书的第一个单词是abandon)。现在看来,我的教训是要懂得坚持的可贵:当你坚持背到一本书三分之一的时候,其实大部分人都已经放弃了;而一旦你将整本词汇书掌握完毕后,7.5分以上的目标绝不会显得遥不可及。推荐迈西雅思乱序版,一定要选乱序的,这样才记得牢,考试是不会按词汇顺序出题的,understand?
雅思考试真题:
真题的作用就是将雅思考试的出题思路深刻的领悟,在掌握思路的情况下,没有任何必要看所谓的机经。所以做一遍真题肯定无法达到以上目的,最多只能够知道雅思考试的题型是什么样的。真题剑三到剑八,用途如下:
剑三剑四:了解雅思题型特点,找回做英语题的感觉;具体来将就是第一遍做完所有试卷要把所有的题型熟悉,总结常错的地方,并有初步的思路如何应对它;第二遍再做的时候就是验证自己的应对思路,有不合适的地方重新改变思路,并在下一阶段再次验证和反思。
剑五剑六:剑五剑六的特点是题型更符合近年来的考试趋势,同时在难度上要比剑三剑四上一个层次;两本书的作用就在于形成自己的解题思路,这个阶段要给自己定下目标,我要在某个阶段结束前正确率达到什么水平,因而每次做完题目都要去反思,改正并在下一次做题时区参考上次犯的错误。
剑七剑八:据说是最像现在考试的试卷,用于考前两周的模拟试题;可以结合原来总结的错误类型和思路来做,注意把握时间。
雅思阅读备考经验:
将每次做完一篇文章后当时不懂的句子划出来,在结束做题后仔细分析句式结构;通过积累一段时间后基本上能够做到凌波微步,不用因为看不懂某一句话停下来回读了;
雅思听力备考经验:
1.快速预读的机制很关键,主要原则是在最短的时间内掌握最多有用的信息:
a.选择题,先掌握题干的动宾结构,随后去对比和比较各个选择支中相同和不同的成份,在听的过程中要注意把握说话者的观点;
b.填空题,把握前面和后面的动词和名词,一旦听到与之对应的同意转换,立刻将答案写上。
2.按照题目所给数字顺序做题:形成良好的做题节奏,根据节奏做完一题后一段时间没有听到下一题,将其果断放弃。
雅思写作备考经验:
1.推荐顾家北的《雅思写作思路剖析》,将写作思路看完后,在随后的每个专题动手写一篇,其余的看一看积累素材和结构;
2.养成自己惯用的写作思路和句子,便于节省时间。本人在议论文常用开篇如下:The new era has witnessed the rise of …, there is no denying towards its significance of …, while it raises much concern as…. This essay aims to give an overview of the debatable issue by throwing light on both sides and offer some responsible solutions。
3.考前注意将大作文和小作文一起写,防止花时间太多在小作文上导致随后未完成任务。我在那场考试就是小作文过于精雕细琢,导致写大作文只有三十四分钟。
雅思口语备考经验:
最大的教训是准备口语应该先准备回答问题的基本思路,而不是先准备回答问题的内容;例如:回答“How do you like transportations in your city?”,我们应该有逻辑结构的展开“To the best of my knowledge, the transportation is by no means….As can be mainly seen in the fact that…It also deserves mention that…”在掌握框架之后,再去向里面填充回答问题的具体内容。
篇11:雅思阅读配对题ListofHeadings4种解题技巧
雅思阅读配对题List of Headings4种解题技巧
雅思阅读配对题解题技巧1:查看有没有转折词
雅思阅读中,在通读整个段落之前,我们可以先浏览一遍,看有没有转折词出现,比如but,however,while,though等等,通常,转折词语多位于句首。包含转折词的句子,转折词之前的内容可以不用读,因为它们一般是承上启下的作用,我们的重点可以放在转折词之后的内容。
注意:不是所有转折词都那么明显,有时可能会用别的词语替代,比如refute,Some don’t agree this等等。考生需要多做题,培养对转折词的敏感度和语感。
雅思阅读配对题解题技巧2:不一定要按照顺序阅读文章和做题
我们可以先完成阅读篇幅短的部分段落,之后再阅读篇幅长的部分。这样比较省时间,每个段落都有自己的作用和意义,打乱顺序阅读不会影响做题的正确率。
通常,雅思阅读配对题List of Headings题型难度较高,无法在文章做定位,需要我们通读全文才能着手去做,所以建议大家做完其他题目再做雅思阅读配对题。
雅思阅读配对题解题技巧3:引证和举例的内容可以先忽略
文章段落中,出现的引证和举例内容可以先忽略,我们应该把注意力放在引证和举例之前的部分。比如for example, for instance, A is one of the best examples to demonstrate等等。论据的就是用来阐述论点,所以论据前面的论点语句,通常可以用来做段意选择。
雅思阅读配对题解题技巧4:永远不要纠结某个让你受挫的段落
难免有些文章段落让我们很苦恼,无法做出答案,建议大家不要因此浪费时间纠结。而是应该做个标记,然后move on,去完成其他题目。等到完成其他题目,其实你也就缩小了可选的范围,加上此时如果还剩余时间,还可以再好好阅读原文,找出最合适的答案。
雅思阅读答题的两个高分原则
雅思阅读高分成绩对于大家雅思总成绩的影响是很大的,所以大家在雅思阅读答题的过程中一定要掌握一定的原则。下面为大家搜集整理了雅思阅读答题高分原则,共大家参考,希望对大家有所帮助。
首先,雅思阅读答题的最大原则就是所问所答,所以一定要掌握雅思阅读题型。
完全了解雅思阅读问题的类型,根据所提供的信息,再去回答问题,这是大家在雅思阅读答题的过程中需要掌握的。
有的考生在参加完雅思阅读考试之后总感觉所得分数与自己估算的分数相差甚远,原因无它,就在于对问题理解不够彻底,因此,也就无法对所提问题做到精确回答。
其次,雅思阅读答题的最大障碍就是时间,所以大家一定要提高阅读速度。
在雅思阅读答题中,时间对绝大部分学生,特别是英文阅读水平相对一般的学生来说,更尤为至关重要。即使是英语为母语的人(NATIVE-ENGLISH SPEAKER)也无法在雅思阅读规定的时间内完全理解所有的词汇。因此,一定控制好时间。
另外就是要增加英语阅读的速度,当然并非一朝一日即可达到。通常需要相当长一段时间的学习及训练。但无论如何,应加强英文基础训练,掌握必要的测试技巧,从而在现有的英文基础之上取得最好的成绩。
以上就是关于雅思阅读答题原则的相关信息,包括了对雅思阅读答题的方式和答题速度两个方面的把握。大家可以在备考雅思阅读考试的时候,对此进行适当的参考和练习。
雅思阅读题型要求和解题步骤
1. 题型要求
这是一个传统题型,大家都很熟悉。但就是这种大家都熟悉的题型,ielts 考试也要弄出新花样。其它考试中,如四级、六级、toefl,只有四选一一种形式。ielts 考试的选择题分为四选一和多选多多两种。四选一,选项肯定是四个。即要求从a、b、c、d 四项中选择一个最符合题意的选项。多选多,选项肯定是五个或五个以上,而正确答案的数目肯定在两个以上。
哪个更难呢?很多同学会好不犹豫地说是多选多。实际上,多选多很容易,是一种简单题型。它具有以下几个特点:
(1)正确答案的数目是已知的。在题目的要求中会告诉你要选出几个选项。题目要求中常which four, which three等字样。
(2)答案在原文中是集中出现的,对应原文中的例举。找着一个答案,其余几个就在它的前后不远处。
我们举一个中文阅读的例子来说明。文章如下:
帕金森症是一种顽症。它是由大脑中缺乏一种叫多巴胺的化学物质引起的。(后面删减100 字)很多名人深受其苦。比如,我们的改革的总设计师、拳王阿里、以故数学家陈景润等等。(后面删减100 字)
题目是:以下哪三个人得过帕金森症?
a. 邓小平
b. 里根
c. 拳王阿里
d. 布什
e. 陈景润
答案:ace
四选一在考试中,一般比较难。它的特点是:四个选项,哪个都像。好像在原文中都提到了,但又都和原文的叙述不太一样。很容易选错。
选择题和问答题的区别在于:问答题要求你自己从原文中找答案。而选择题给你四个选项,让你选择,在给你提示的同时,也给了你一个陷阱。有些选择题,如果改为回答题,你可能能够做对,但给了你四个选项,反而选错了。
考试中,四选一,a 类和g 类一般都是每次必考,考一组,共3 题左右。多选多,不是每次必考。
2. 解题步骤
(1) 找出题干中的关键词,最好先定位到原文中的一个段落。
将题干中的关键词与原文各段落的小标题或每段话的第一句相对照。有些题目能先定位到原文中的一个段落,着必将大大加快解题时间,并提高准确率。但并不是每个题目都能先定位到原文中的一个段落的。如果题目中的关键词难以确定答案的位置,选项中的关键词也可以作为定位的参考依据。
(2) 从头到尾快速阅读该段落,根据题干中的其他关键词及选项确定正确答案。正确选项常常是原文相关词句的改写。
确定一个段落后,答案在该段落中有的具体位置是未知的。所以,需要从头到尾快速阅读该段落,确定正确答案。短问答的答案常常是原文原词,而选择题的答案常常是原文相关词句的改写。
(3) 有些题目比较简单,可以直接选择。对于难题,可以用排除法确定正确答案。
有些题目比较简单,从原文很快找到对应答案。这时可以直接选择不必看其它选项。这样既可以节省时间,同时也避免受干扰选项的误导。有些题目比较难,看每个选项都有点像,但又都不太象。这时,可以用排除法,先排除掉肯定不对的选项,然后在剩下的选项中再做出选择。通常,有两个选项必有好排除,另外两个有一定的难度。请参见本题型的注意事项部分,其中分析了干扰选项的特点。
如何争做雅思阅读考场“飞人”
雅思阅读考试包含3篇长文章(article),每篇字数在1000字左右,要求考生们在60分钟内做完40道题,而且这60分钟包含填写答题卡的时间,即每篇文章题目要求20分钟内解答完毕。文章长,题目多,时间紧是雅思阅读考试的典型特点,因此经常有一些基础很好的考生因为做题速度太慢而导致无法在规定时间内答完题目,最终阅读考试分数只有5.5分,甚至更低。做题速度(speed)是考生们雅思阅读考试制胜的关键(key),然而如何能够在保障做题质量(quality)的前提下有效提高(improve)雅思阅读考试的答题速度,争做雅思阅读考场“飞人”呢?
策略1:心理暗示与自我暗示之科尔效应(effect)
有的考生在看到如此长的文章、如此多的题目、如此短的时间时,心理防线已经开始崩溃,根本坚持不到考试的最终,只能中场放弃,退出考场,或者连蒙带猜把题目看完,不管对错把答题纸写完;而有的考生则没有时间观念,只关注于答题质量,一心想求高分,结果却导致前两篇文章耗时过多而无暇解答最后一篇文章的问题(question)。这些都会导致考生最终雅思阅读分数不理想。
解决这一问题的策略(strategy)之一就是心理暗示与自我暗示(Suggestion and Autosuggestion),也称为“柯尔效应”。发明该方法的爱弥儿柯尔说:“最好的医生是自己,最强的力量在内心,最好的教育者就是你。”
他指出与我们知道的相反,指导我们行动的不是意志力,而是潜意识(自我暗示),尤其当潜意识和意志力发生冲突时。一个失眠者越是想睡,就越兴奋(excited);我们越想阻止自己大笑,就会笑得越厉害;在骑自行车时,我们越是想避开障碍物,就越容易撞上去。所以,我们必须学会引导自己的潜意识(unconsciousness)。只有这样,我们才能轻松地成为自己身体和精神的主人(master)。如何才能做到呢?通过对自己进行心理暗示,也就是自我暗示的练习(practice)。如果我们渴望某种品质,或渴望去除某种品质,无论是生理的还是心理的,我们只要经常重复,那么迟早就会获得想要的结果。“单调的重复迫使我们潜意识思考这些内容,而当我们思考时,对我们来说,我们便相信它们是真的,于是,它们将变成现实。”
对我们来说,将我们希望得到的想法输入潜意识便是轻而易举的。而将心理暗示与自我暗示即柯尔效应应用(apply)到雅思阅读考试中,也就是说,考生们在做雅思阅读题目时就不能总是有“我20分钟内肯定无法解答完一篇文章的题目”、“我阅读考试时间肯定不够”或者“我做题速度快了,题目可能做不对吧”等等诸如此类的想法(thought),或者说考生们也不能根本不关注时间,只专注于答题质量。相反的(in opposite),考生们应该不断重复提醒自己“我20分钟内能解答完一篇文章的题目,60分钟内三篇雅思阅读文章的考试题目肯定都能解答完”,“我既要60分钟内答完题又要题目全部答对”,这样只需要经常重复并练习,考生们肯定能保证在20分钟内完成一篇阅读文章题目的解答,在60分钟内完成所有阅读考试题目的解答并且把答题纸填写完毕。
记忆《雅思》词汇的两种方法
一、大胆发现首字母规律记忆雅思词汇
任何一门语言都要遵循一定的规律,英语单词没有例外。雅思单词更是如此。在雅思阅读当中经常会出现一些我们写作听力口语不会用到的词汇。这一类单词我们只需要知道他们什么含义就可以。比如,在雅思阅读文章中会出现表示伪造的伪造这样的含义。如果我们稍微细心观察,就会发现这类单词有共同之处。就是这些单词都是f 开头的。
fake feign falsify采集者退散 fabricate forge
这组词当中,第一个单词是一个形容词。表示假的。其他单词均为动词,表示伪造。其实究其原因,我们就会发现西方人比较愿意用f开头的词表示做的含义。例如,就有我们经常见到的词根facfeafecfic都表示做的含义。然而是非法做成的,自然就是伪造的含义了。那么这组词根常考的单词还有feasible 能做的,就是形容词可行的含义。
例如还有在一些地质类的文章当中还会出现表示裂缝等的含义。
crevice crevasse chasm
二、利用词根和词缀来记忆雅思词汇
比如我们都会学习到这样几组单词。
opt—choose/light/good adopt option optics optimistic optimum apt/ept--skill adapt aptitude adept inept
这样几组单词下来我们只是对单词进行了纵向记忆。第一个词根,是选择或是光。或是好的意思。我们无论选择什么事物都会选择好的事物。西方人们认为会发光的就是好的事物所以我们很容易就将这个单词的含义记住了。第一个词,表示采用领养的含义。本身就是选择 option 也是选择的意思 optics 以ics结尾表示学科光学第四个单词 optimistic 表示乐观的。最后一个是最佳的。第二组单词表示技巧。第一个单词适应,第二个表示能力,第三个表示娴熟的,最后一个表示不适应的无能的。
这是我们传统的组记。我们看看还可以怎么扩充单词。拿apt举例,apt 本来是一个单词 v.适应的意思,只有适应才能获得技巧。那么为什么apt就可以表示适应呢?想适应必须适合。我们都学过一个词,就是proper a.合适的,所以又推出另外一个词appropriate ,我们发现这个词只在proper前面和后面前缀和后缀。所以这个单词的本意不会发生什么改变。还是适合适应的意思。那么我们再从这个单词中提取最关键的部分就会变成apt。只有合适的才是适合的apt再加上ad表示坚强的含义,那么这个词还是表示适合的含义。所以另外两组单词也出来了。
proper appropriate apt adapt adept adopt
