雅思阅读提速技巧
在练习雅思阅读时，做题速度是很多烤鸭的弱点，一起来看雅思阅读提速的技巧经验吧。下面小编就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。
雅思阅读提速技巧 经验分享
雅思阅读相对于其他单项来说本应该是同学们的强项，但是如果阅读速度太慢，或者总是纠结在选答案迟迟无法作答，会令同学们马失前蹄。怎么办呢?不急，小编为你整理了九条雅思阅读的“提速高招”!
1.先看题目后阅读
考试时，一定是先看阅读题再看原文。
注意：
(1)阅读试题每一部分的开头与结尾;
(2)每部分有多少道题;
(3)每部分的答题时间;
(4)先回答哪些问题。
在开始阅读所给文章前，应首先弄清需要回答的问题，再带着这些问题，去读那些与答题有关的部分。这样就可以节省出更多时间，达到事半功倍的效果。
2.主旨题+细节题
主旨题与细节题考察考生是否具备掌握主旨、查找细节的能力。
主旨题：List of Headings
细节题：除List of Headings以外的所有题型，包括T/F/NG、Matching、Summary、Multiple Choice等。
对于主旨题，我们主要通过把握段落结构(总分、分总、总分总、分总分)，重点抓住该段的主题句和反复出现的词汇(即高频词或核心词)，来进行突破。一般来说，主题句50%以上在段首句。
做雅思阅读细节题时一定要先确定关键词然后回原文中定位，找一一对应关系。其中，T/F/NG题考察的是理解原文具体细节的精确度。而Matching题则考察学生查找细节的速度。
先做主旨题再做细节题可以使定位细节变得更快更准确。
3.合理安排阅读答题时间
平时在家备考雅思阅读的时候就要养成比较好的做题习惯，计时并且是细到每篇雅思阅读文章计时!第一篇一般8分钟完成，第二篇和第三篇分别是12-15分钟，超过时间发现题目还没有做完就不要再思考了。不要在某道小题目上思考太久，争取把能够做对的题目全都做对。
4.注意力训练：20分钟完成一篇文章
一开始训练雅思阅读，很多考生可能无法适应1小时3篇阅读文章的题量?很难注意力集中?
这时候可以做拆分练习，20分钟做完一篇雅思阅读文章，坚持1个月之后，随着对雅思阅读题型的熟悉，注意力逐渐能够长时间集中之后，很多考生就能适应这种高强度的雅思阅读考试了。
5.单项训练：一次做一个题型
雅思阅读的题型很多，除了基本的单选和填空题，还包括判断、段落理解题，不同的题型的考察重点不同，比如，List of Headings考察是段落理解能力，True/ False / Not given考察的是句子理解能力。有针对性的答题往往会总结出适合自己的答题规律。
6.“换句话说“别看了
“换句话说、也就是说”意味着后面的内容与前面一致或是对前面的解释，因此只用看前面的内容即可。
常见的表达有：that is (to say)，put another way，in other words等。
如：“The state has no obligation to provide a health-care system itself, but to ensure that such a system is provided. Put another way, basic health-care is now recognized as a ‘public good’, rather than a ‘private good’ that one is expected to buy for oneself.”(剑桥雅思真题4, Test 4, Reading Passage 3) 略掉“Put another way”后面的内容，只看前面。
7.“论据“不看
为了论证观点，文章中经常会大量出现各式各样的论据，但它们并不是文章的重点。故概览文章时，论据可以先忽略不看。
而常见的“论据”形式有：
含“举例”的句子：for example / instance，e.g.，such as等;
含“数据”的句子：百分比(%，percentage)，描述统计结果的数字;
引用名人/专家言论(直接/间接引语)的句子;
以some，a few，others等表达“某些”的单词为开头的句子。
8.同义词的替换
雅思阅读相比托福阅读，雅思会更加体现词汇量的重要性，特别是在雅思的阅读中，经常会出现同义的互换。所以，在日常生活中，大家应该加强同义互换能力的锻炼。
往往正确答案是原文的是这样写的，可是关键考点单词有可能被同义替换掉。如果不懂得同义词的使用的话，你可能会一脸懵。所以在日常生活中，我们应该多去扩展同义词、近义词和反义词等的积累。
9.整理阅读词库
在平时的阅读过程中，习惯性的去积累整理自己的词库语库，日常可以多去翻看阅读，这比你耗时间去背诵记词来得更快，在阅读的过程中一方面把题目做完了，一方面还能通过语境把词汇背下来，这样背单词记得会更牢。

Don‘t wash those fossils!
Standard museum practice can wash away DNA.
1.Washing，brushing and varnishing fossils — all standard conservation treatments used by many fossil hunters and museum curators alike — vastly reduces the chances of recovering ancient DNA.
2.Instead，excavators should be handling at least some of their bounty with gloves，and freezing samples as they are found，dirt and all，concludes a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences today.
3.Although many palaeontologists know anecdotally that this is the best way to up the odds of extracting good DNA，Eva-Maria Geigl of the Jacques Monod Institute in Paris，France，and her colleagues have now shown just how important conservation practices can be. This information，they say，needs to be hammered home among the people who are actually out in the field digging up bones.
4.Geigl and her colleagues looked at 3，200-year-old fossil bones belonging to a single individual of an extinct cattle species，called an aurochs. The fossils were dug up at a site in France at two different times — either in 1947，and stored in a museum collection，or in 2004，and conserved in sterile conditions at -20 oC.
5.The team’s attempts to extract DNA from the 1947 bones all failed. The newly excavated fossils，however，all yielded DNA.
6.Because the bones had been buried for the same amount of time，and in the same conditions，the conservation method had to be to blame says Geigl. “As much DNA was degraded in these 57 years as in the 3，200 years before，” she says.
Wash in，wash out
7.Because many palaeontologists base their work on the shape of fossils alone，their methods of conservation are not designed to preserve DNA，Geigl explains.
8.The biggest problem is how they are cleaned. Fossils are often washed together on-site in a large bath，which can allow water — and contaminants in the form of contemporary DNA — to permeate into the porous bones. “Not only is the authentic DNA getting washed out，but contamination is getting washed in，” says Geigl.
9.Most ancient DNA specialists know this already，says Hendrik Poinar，an evolutionary geneticist at McMaster University in Ontario，Canada. But that doesn‘t mean that best practice has become widespread among those who actually find the fossils.
10.Getting hold of fossils that have been preserved with their DNA in mind relies on close relationships between lab-based geneticists and the excavators，says palaeogeneticist Svante P??bo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig，Germany. And that only occurs in exceptional cases，he says.
11.P??bo’s team，which has been sequencing Neanderthal DNA，continually faces these problems. “When you want to study ancient human and Neanderthal remains，there‘s a big issue of contamination with contemporary human DNA，” he says.
12.This doesn’t mean that all museum specimens are fatally flawed，notes P??bo. The Neanderthal fossils that were recently sequenced in his own lab，for example，had been part of a museum collection treated in the traditional way. But P??bo is keen to see samples of fossils from every major find preserved in line with Geigl‘s recommendations — just in case.
Warm and wet
13.Geigl herself believes that，with cooperation between bench and field researchers，preserving fossils properly could open up avenues of discovery that have long been assumed closed.
14.Much human cultural development took place in temperate regions. DNA does not survive well in warm environments in the first place，and can vanish when fossils are washed and treated. For this reason，Geigl says，most ancient DNA studies have been done on permafrost samples，such as the woolly mammoth，or on remains sheltered from the elements in cold caves — including cave bear and Neanderthal fossils.
15.Better conservation methods，and a focus on fresh fossils，could boost DNA extraction from more delicate specimens，says Geigl. And that could shed more light on the story of human evolution.

Search begins for ‘Earth’ beyond solar system
Staff and agencies
Wednesday December 27，2006
Guardian Unlimited
1.A European spacecraft took off today to spearhead the search for another “Earth” among the stars.
2.The Corot space telescope blasted off aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan shortly after 2.20pm.
3.Corot，short for convection rotation and planetary transits，is the first instrument capable of finding small rocky planets beyond the solar system.Any such planet situated in the right orbit stands a good chance of having liquid water on its surface，and quite possibly life，although a leading scientist involved in the project said it was unlikely to find “any little green men”.
4.Developed by the French space agency，CNES，and partnered by the European Space Agency (ESA)，Austria，Belgium，Germany，Brazil and Spain，Corot will monitor around 120，000 stars with its 27cm telescope from a polar orbit 514 miles above the Earth.Over two and a half years，it will focus on five to six different areas of the sky，measuring the brightness of about 10，000 stars every 512 seconds.
5.“At the present moment we are hoping to find out more about the nature of planets around stars which are potential habitats.We are looking at habitable planets，not inhabited planets.We are not going to find any little green men，” Professor Ian Roxburgh，an ESA scientist who has been involved with Corot since its inception，told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.
6.Prof Roxburgh said it was hoped Corot would find “rocky planets that could develop an atmosphere and，if they are the right distance from their parent star，they could have water”.
7.To search for planets，the telescope will look for the dimming of starlight caused when an object passes in front of a star，known as a “transit”.Although it will take more sophisticated space telescopes planned in the next 10 years to confirm the presence of an Earth-like planet with oxygen and liquid water，Corot will let scientists know where to point their lenses.
8.Measurements of minute changes in brightness will enable scientists to detect giant Jupiter-like gas planets as well as small rocky ones.It is the rocky planets - that could be no bigger than about twice the size of the Earth - which will cause the most excitement.Scientists expect to find between 10 and 40 of these smaller planets.
9.Corot will also probe into stellar interiors by studying the acoustic waves that ripple across the surface of stars，a technique called “asteroseismology”.
10.The nature of the ripples allows astronomers to calculate a star‘s precise mass，age and chemical composition.
11.“A planet passing in front of a star can be detected by the fall in light from that star.Small oscillations of the star also produce changes in the light emitted，which reveal what the star is made of and how they are structured internally.This data will provide a major boost to our understanding of how stars form and evolve，” Prof Roxburgh said.
12.Since the discovery in 1995 of the first “exoplanet” - a planet orbiting a star other than the Sun - more than 200 others have been found by ground-based observatories.
13.Until now the usual method of finding exoplanets has been to detect the “wobble” their gravity imparts on parent stars.But only giant gaseous planets bigger than Jupiter can be found this way，and they are unlikely to harbour life.
14.In the 2010s，ESA plans to launch Darwin，a fleet of four or five interlinked space telescopes that will not only spot small rocky planets，but analyse their atmospheres for signs of biological activity.
15.At around the same time，the US space agency，Nasa，will launch Terrestrial Planet Finder，another space telescope designed to locate Earth-like planets.
