雅思阅读注意事项之把握阅读速度

备考雅思阅读期间，究竟是先看题还是先看文章呢?一起来学习吧，下面小编就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。

雅思阅读注意事项之把握阅读速度

说起雅思阅读的这个千年未解之悬疑：是应该先粗读文章，还是该先粗读题目，每一个烤鸭内心也是很纠结的，大约这就是雅思阅读的美妙之处吧。你没有一成不变的规律，而只能是临场应变，去不断地在文章与题目间穿梭，一遍，又一遍，直到解开所有的问题。而这个悬疑，依然留给了未来。以下介绍三种读法。

1.循序渐进法

适合英语基础不是非常好，词汇量缺乏，文章对其来说基本看不太懂的雅思考生。

操作方法：拿到阅读试卷后浏览文章标题，然后选定一篇文章开始做题。但是选择的时候要注意题材的熟悉度，可以挑选自己相对比较熟悉的题材先做。

选定后就开始审题。按照题型来看。首选是填空题和判断题，其次是选择和配对题。

例如说文章后题型搭配为判断题+选择题+填空题，那么先审判断题这一部分题目，一题一题做，根据判断题的做题方法去做，而且可以利用顺序性去看文章找答案。做完判断题以后再做填空题，利用填空题的标题或第一句话中的名词去做定位，然后用填空题的做题方法去把填空题做完。最后去做选择题，因为选择题对于文章的理解要求比较高，对于程度不太好的考生来说会比较难做。

优点能尽量保证填空题的正确率，在能得分的题目中保证得分。对于基础不是很好的考生来说是既能保证正确率又能相对节约时间的方法。

缺陷时间花费比较多，而且会多次重复阅读文章。

2.登高望远法

适合高层次学生。英语词汇量大，平时经常阅读英语文章或浏览英语网站，语法基础扎实，短期记忆力强，对自己的英语能力非常有信心的雅思考生。

操作方法：拿到阅读试卷后浏览文章标题，然后选定一篇文章开始做题。选定文章后先阅读所有的题目，即13-14道题目，把每一道题目的关键词划出来并进行短期记忆。(注：关键词包括定位词和考点，定位词多以名词为主，考点则多以谓语动词和形容词副词为主)重点记忆一些定位性强的名词。

看完题目之后去看文章，从头开始看，按文章的顺序和段落去理解，边看边回忆之前记忆中的定位词，看到了就用笔做一个记号。

注意在看的过程中是要以理解文章为主，不要过多的去想题目的内容，主要是看懂文章。看完以后再去看题目，根据文章的内容去做题。

如果有文章的内容记不清，就可以利用之前读文章时划出的定位词再回原文看一下然后确定答案。

优点绝对节省时间，确保时间充足。

缺陷挑战考生英语能力和记忆力，并不适用于大部分考生，主要针对一些立志阅读考8分以上的考生。

3.理论实战法

适合有一定的英语词汇量，并参加过雅思培训班，掌握了基础语法知识的雅思考生。

操作方法：拿到阅读试卷后浏览文章标题和文章后的题型，选择自己最熟悉的话题或者有自己最擅长的题型的那篇文章。

然后浏览一下题型，确定下题型关注的先后顺序，也是先填空判断，后配对选择。但这种先后并不是绝对的，而是交替的，也就是在重点做填空判断之前已经将配对选择的定位词和关键词划出并记忆，然后在做填空判断时顺带这看看有没有配对题和选择题的定位词出现。

如果程度稍好的同学则可以看一段文章，把这段文章中涉及到的各种题型的题目都完成，一段一段解决问题。但是用这种方法的时候要注意时间的把握。

优点可以相对合理的安排时间去做题，也能保证容易做的题型的正确率。缺陷需要考生能随机应变，对不同的题型搭配要有合理的时间分配，可能会造成审题或看文章内容的混乱。

雅思阅读解题技巧之时间分配法

雅思阅读解题技巧时间时间分配法

0-1分钟：除非你是大牛，否则请不要马上做题!不要马上做题!不要马上做题!你要做的是浏览全部三篇阅读：判断文章的题型分布(乱序/顺序)，背景内容，文章的标题，从而自己心中生成一个难度等级顺序。

1-55分钟：做题，先易后难。为什么先易后难?因为考试60分钟分成3个时间段，20，40，55。先做容易的会让你在一开始就把握好节奏。比如最简单的做完用了18分钟，第二篇用了20分钟，第三篇用了21分钟还没有做完也不用担心了。因为你始终都在老师划线之前完成对应内容，有种“超前完成”的自信感。

先做容易的题型更易进入状态，而如果一上来碰到难题会让整个心理受到挫折，加之时间上的安排会很容易导致焦虑情绪，导致该做对的题做不对。

55-60分钟：停止用正常方法做题，尽你最大努力，快速给没有做完的题目写入自己认为可能的答案。因为考生在紧张的状态下往往很难正常思考，在单个题目上花费时间过长， 最后不仅这道题没做对，答题卡也没有填完，导致心理和成绩的双失败。

如果答题卡不填满，你的阅读总分值就已经不是9分了。不管填的是什么，最后你还是有机会去碰正确的答案。

很多同学都有时间不够用的问题，对此你需要总结出自己浪费时间的原因。是因为生词太多导致一句话需要看好几遍才能看懂(背单词)，还是在某种题型上反复犹豫(掌握题型的解答技巧并多去练习)，还是做题时总是需要返回原文导致效率低下。

Tricks：做题前浏览三篇文章，如果发现某篇文章段落前加上了序号，则很大可能会出乱序题(难)。如果文章段落没有序号，则3个部分题目都按照顺序考察(易)。

雅思阅读解题技巧题型先后分配法

除去时间掌控之外，考生们在考场上还要注意的是考试的题型安排。正确的做题顺序可以帮助考生更加有效的完成题目。雅思学术类阅读现在官网上分为十大题型：Multiple Choice;Short-answer questions;Sentence Completion;Notes, Summary or Table/Flow-chart Completion;Labelling a Diagram;Headings;Locating Information;Identification of Writer’s Views/Claims or of Information in a Text;Classification;Matching。这些题型绝大多数题目是细节型的题。一般来说，建议考生按照从大意题到细节题的做题顺序完成整篇试题。也就是说，在考试过程中，如果考生遇到“Headings”这种标准的大意题，当然是需要最先完成的。而其他细节题在考生对于文章大意有所了解的前提下去完成会很容易定位。在此需要特别说明的是最近很流行的细节配对题，一般建议考生安排在其他题目完成之后再去完成，这样考生对于文章的结构和各段的大意都有比较清晰的了解，在这个基础上再去完成细节配对题会节约很多定位的时间，而且正确率也会有所提升。

雅思阅读全真练习系列：Rogue theory of smell gets a boost

Rogue theory of smell gets a boost

1.A controversial theory of how we smell, which claims that our fine sense of odour depends on quantum mechanics, has been given the thumbs up by a team of physicists.

2.Calculations by researchers at University College London (UCL) show that the idea that we smell odour molecules by sensing their molecular vibrations makes sense in terms of the physics involved.

3.That's still some way from proving that the theory, proposed in the mid-1990s by biophysicist Luca Turin, is correct. But it should make other scientists take the idea more seriously.

4."This is a big step forward," says Turin, who has now set up his own perfume company Flexitral in Virginia. He says that since he published his theory, "it has been ignored rather than criticized."

5.Most scientists have assumed that our sense of smell depends on receptors in the nose detecting the shape of incoming molecules, which triggers a signal to the brain. This molecular 'lock and key' process is thought to lie behind a wide range of the body's detection systems: it is how some parts of the immune system recognise invaders, for example, and how the tongue recognizes some tastes.

6.But Turin argued that smell doesn't seem to fit this picture very well. Molecules that look almost identical can smell very different — such as alcohols, which smell like spirits, and thiols, which smell like rotten eggs. And molecules with very different structures can smell similar. Most strikingly, some molecules can smell different — to animals, if not necessarily to humans — simply because they contain different isotopes (atoms that are chemically identical but have a different mass).

7.Turin's explanation for these smelly facts invokes the idea that the smell signal in olfactory receptor proteins is triggered not by an odour molecule's shape, but by its vibrations, which can enourage an electron to jump between two parts of the receptor in a quantum-mechanical process called tunnelling. This electron movement could initiate the smell signal being sent to the brain.

8.This would explain why isotopes can smell different: their vibration frequencies are changed if the atoms are heavier. Turin's mechanism, says Marshall Stoneham of the UCL team, is more like swipe-card identification than a key fitting a lock.

9.Vibration-assisted electron tunnelling can undoubtedly occur — it is used in an experimental technique for measuring molecular vibrations. "The question is whether this is possible in the nose," says Stoneham's colleague, Andrew Horsfield.

10.Stoneham says that when he first heard about Turin's idea, while Turin was himself based at UCL, "I didn't believe it". But, he adds, "because it was an interesting idea, I thought I should prove it couldn't work. I did some simple calculations, and only then began to feel Luca could be right." Now Stoneham and his co-workers have done the job more thoroughly, in a paper soon to be published in Physical Review Letters.

11.The UCL team calculated the rates of electron hopping in a nose receptor that has an odorant molecule bound to it. This rate depends on various properties of the biomolecular system that are not known, but the researchers could estimate these parameters based on typical values for molecules of this sort.

12.The key issue is whether the hopping rate with the odorant in place is significantly greater than that without it. The calculations show that it is — which means that odour identification in this way seems theoretically possible.

13.But Horsfield stresses that that's different from a proof of Turin's idea. "So far things look plausible, but we need proper experimental verification. We're beginning to think about what experiments could be performed."

14.Meanwhile, Turin is pressing ahead with his hypothesis. "At Flexitral we have been designing odorants exclusively on the basis of their computed vibrations," he says. "Our success rate at odorant discovery is two orders of magnitude better than the competition." At the very least, he is putting his money where his nose is.
