雅思阅读时间不够用怎么办

面对雅思阅读，很多同学比较头疼的一个问题就是时间不够用。在限制的时间内要完成3篇长文章的阅读和做题，这非常考验烤鸭们的综合能力和对不同题型的对应能力。那么怎么才能提高我们的阅读效率合理在有限的时间内做完雅思阅读呢?今天小编就为大家带来一些小攻略。

雅思阅读时间不够用?这些技巧可以帮你

首先，我们需要回顾一些细节，在做题过程中哪些环节可以进行提速?一般来说，雅思阅读题分为两种，题目有序和题目无序。对于按照文章顺序的题目：诸如选择题，或者是判断题，我们会带着关键词去进行定位(涉及到同义替换)。当寻找答案位置不困扰我们的时候，很多情况下真正影响我们速度的就只能是我们对定位处的信息快速抓取能力。

而对于不按文章顺序出题的题目(标题或者匹配信息)呢?我们处理的任务就一下子变多了：

1. 总结题干关键词

2. 归纳大意

3. 归纳段意的同时关注是否有相符合的细节

4. 判断这一段是否有我们需要的信息，因为有些段落未必出现题目

以上，我们能够发现，除了圈画关键词之外，其实阅读速度的提升并非是找到一个捷径，通过简单的几句话来判断/预测某一段的内容达到省时间的目的;相反，这是一种能力提升后的产物。

当我们能够熟练处理一句话，一段话的时候，我们的速度自然得到了提升。雅思作为一种English proficiency test，即熟练水平测试，其考察的是大家对于文章的理解。尤其是对于志在冲阅读高分的同学来说，能力的提升能够帮助有效化解考题的组合拳。

因此，如果真正想提升自己的做题速度，归根到底，我们寻求的应该是如何快速准确把握文章内容。

如何才能快速准确把握文章内容呢?最重要的应该是把握每个句子的核心意思，即我们需要提炼出一个句子的主干。这需要各位同学们对平时刷过的文章，尤其是那些读起来比较费劲的文章进行不断的总结回顾。

在平时的阅读练习中，如何边做题边训练自己的速度，以达到越做越快，越做越好呢?

掌握以下方法，并在训练真题中时时关注，时时锻炼，一定能让你的阅读速度和正确率上一个台阶~

1. 关注词汇的用法

词汇首当其冲，但这里我要讲的词汇并非是指一味地去扩充词汇量，而是提醒各位烤鸭，在平时阅读练习的过程中大家需要关注并积累常见词汇的用法。这些用法会有助于我们去梳理亦或是预判句子结构。

举个例子【真题回顾】

Thus, in this explanation the subject merges his unique personality and personal and moral code with that of larger institutional structures, surrendering individual and properties like loyalty, self-sacrifice and discipline to the service of malevolent systems of authority.

Question (T/F/NG):

In a sociological explanation, personal values are more powerful than authority.

这是节选真题中的一段话以及相应的一道题目。

你选TRUE还是FALSE?还是NOT GIVEN呢?

这道题出现了两个动词merge和surrender，很多烤鸭应该已经比较熟悉了，分别是“合并”以及“投降”的意思，但是单单知道这两个词的意思未必能够直接解决题目，这个句子仍然存在一些难点，比如“that”，“discipline to the service of...”。

咋一看很长，但如果我们从这两个词的用法上去拆解这个句子，那么问题很快就能得到解决。

merge 有一个用法是merge A with B，在这个用法的情境下，我们很快就知道此处的“that”指代的应该是前面的code/personality;而surrender则有surrender sth to sb/sth的用法。

因此，这句话就能从结构上简化为

the subject merges personal code with institutional code, surrendering individual properties to the service of authority

(实验对象会将自己的个人准则与组织的准则融合，自身的价值观向权威机构屈服)

当然了，这一类词也并不只局限于动词，包括我们熟悉的both的用法：

This growing concern about intellectual property rights was a feature of the period--it reflected both the humanist notion of the individual, rational scientists who invents and discovers through private intellectual labor, and the growing connection between original science and commercial exploitation.

大家可以自行尝试分析一下这句话，能否快速抓住这句话的主干。

2. 关注句与句的联系

在解决了单句之后，我们也需要关注一下句子和句子之间的联系，因为光凭单单一句话是无法体现出作者的真正意图。

因此，如果想要准确把握作者的想法，我们必须熟悉各种可能出现的句与句之间的联系方式。当然，我们已经熟悉了很多种连接方式：however, moreover, even if, also...

下面我给大家呈现一些真题中出现的其他的连接方式：

an alternative to this explanation of genetic programming is to see....

alternative这个词值得大家关注一下，很多时候做“其他的”理解，那么很明显，这里是和前文表示一种并列关系

Only the thick vegetation at the skirt of the often cloud-covered peak of Sierra Negra offers respite from the barren terrain below. This inhospitable environment is home to the giant Galapagos tortoise.

这里我给大家打了两句话，大家不妨试着用我之前谈到的技巧给第一句做减法;

而第二句中“this inhospitable environment”这样的指代性的表达在文本里时常出现，能够快速概括前面的内容，并引出作者后续的想法。

这一类表达还有一些更常见的形式，比如this,that,it等，能够快速反映出这部分内容，对我们的阅读速度以及准度也是有一定帮助的。

通过以上的分析，如果各位同学想要真正的达到快速且准确做阅读的目的，我强烈推荐大家深入文本，从词汇/句子这些很细微的东西入手，从而真正实现对文本的驾驭，这也就是“绝对实力”。当然，光有这些能力也还不够，之后有机会，我也会与大家分享一些解题技巧。

雅思考试阅读模拟练习及答案

1. The failure of a high-profile cholesterol drug has thrown a spotlight on the complicated machinery that regulates cholesterol levels. But many researchers remain confident that drugs to boost levels of ’good’ cholesterol are still one of the most promising means to combat spiralling heart disease.

2. Drug company Pfizer announced on 2 December that it was cancelling all clinical trials of torcetrapib， a drug designed to raise heart-protective high-density lipoproteins (HDLs)。 In a trial of 15000 patients， a safety board found that more people died or suffered cardiovascular problems after taking the drug plus a cholesterol-lowering statin than those in a control group who took the statin alone.

3. The news came as a kick in the teeth to many cardiologists because earlier tests in animals and people suggested it would lower rates of cardiovascular disease. “There have been no red flags to my knowledge，” says John Chapman， a specialist in lipoproteins and atherosclerosis at the National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM) in Paris who has also studied torcetrapib. “This cancellation came as a complete shock.”

4. Torcetrapib is one of the most advanced of a new breed of drugs designed to raise levels of HDLs， which ferry cholesterol out of artery-clogging plaques to the liver for removal from the body. Specifically， torcetrapib blocks a protein called cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP)， which normally transfers the cholesterol from high-density lipoproteins to low density， plaque-promoting ones. Statins， in contrast， mainly work by lowering the ’bad’ low-density lipoproteins.

Under pressure

5. Researchers are now trying to work out why and how the drug backfired， something that will not become clear until the clinical details are released by Pfizer. One hint lies in evidence from earlier trials that it slightly raises blood pressure in some patients. It was thought that this mild problem would be offset by the heart benefits of the drug. But it is possible that it actually proved fatal in some patients who already suffered high blood pressure. If blood pressure is the explanation， it would actually be good news for drug developers because it suggests that the problems are specific to this compound. Other prototype drugs that are being developed to block CETP work in a slightly different way and might not suffer the same downfall.

6. But it is also possible that the whole idea of blocking CETP is flawed， says Moti Kashyap， who directs atherosclerosis research at the VA Medical Center in Long Beach， California. When HDLs excrete cholesterol in the liver， they actually rely on LDLs for part of this process. So inhibiting CETP， which prevents the transfer of cholesterol from HDL to LDL， might actually cause an abnormal and irreversible accumulation of cholesterol in the body. “You’re blocking a physiologic mechanism to eliminate cholesterol and effectively constipating the pathway，” says Kashyap.

Going up

7. Most researchers remain confident that elevating high density lipoproteins levels by one means or another is one of the best routes for helping heart disease patients. But HDLs are complex and not entirely understood. One approved drug， called niacin， is known to both raise HDL and reduce cardiovascular risk but also causes an unpleasant sensation of heat and tingling. Researchers are exploring whether they can bypass this side effect and whether niacin can lower disease risk more than statins alone. Scientists are also working on several other means to bump up high-density lipoproteins by， for example， introducing synthetic HDLs. “The only thing we know is dead in the water is torcetrapib， not the whole idea of raising HDL，” says Michael Miller， director of preventive cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center， Baltimore.

Suggested Answers and Explanations

1. vi

2. ii

3. vii 本段介绍了torcetrapib和statin的治病原理，但是同时短语“in contrast”与之前第二段后半段的内容呼应，暗示了这两种药在理论上能相辅相成，是理想的搭配。第一个选项无法涵盖整段意义，故选择i是错误的。

4. iii 本段分析了可能导致torcetrapibl临床试验失败的原因，后半段指出如果以上推测正确，那么未来的药物可借鉴这个试验，设法避免torcetrapib的缺陷，研制出有效的药物。viii选项无法涵盖后半段的意思。

5. ix 见首句。

6. v

7. A 见第二段。题目中administer一词意为“用药”，subject一词为“实验对象”之意。

8. B 见第四段“… to raise levels of HDLs， which ferry cholesterol out of artery- clogging plaques to the liver for removal from the body.”即HDLs的作用最终是将 choleserol清除出人体：“… for removal from the body”。

9. B 见第四段“But HDLs are complex and not entirely understood.”

10. C 见第二段“… plus a cholesterol-lowering statin”，即statin是可以降低cholesterol的。

11. D 见第六段 “So inhibiting CETP， … might actually cause an abnormal and irreversible accumulation of cholesterol in the body.

12. A 见第三段。

13. C 见第四段“Statins， in contrast， mainly work by lowering the ’bad’ low-density lipoproteins
