雅思阅读选择题的出题规律
多考生做雅思阅读都是一种被动消极的刷题模式,完全不明白雅思阅读各种题型的出题规律,出题特点和要考查的能力。下面小编给大家带来了雅思阅读选择题其实这样考,希望能够帮助到大家,下面小编就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。
雅思阅读选择题其实这样考
什么才不是被动的刷题,而是有效的备考解题呢?那就需要烤鸭们站在巨人的肩膀上来看考官在出题时,脑袋里在想些神马东西?我们今天就拿阅读题型中的选择题来给大家解析一下考官的出题套路。如果要问雅思阅读中难度最大的题型是哪种题型,相信99%的烤鸭都会说是选择题。的确,选择题是最考查学生能力的题型,因为考生必须要读懂句子,正确理解识并识别同义替换,才能选出正确的选项。所以,这个题目就成了让无数烤鸭在考场上尽折腰的题目,也是想考阅读8+高分的烤鸭们必须要突破的题目。
如果选择题是这样的:
出题模式一:
句子1:It seems that the viewer can sense the artists’ vision in paintings, even if they can’t explain why.
题目:下面哪个选项与上句意思一致?
A mostly favour works of art which they know well.
Bhold fixed ideas about what makes a good work of art.
Care often misled by their initial expectations of a work of art.
Dhave the ability to perceive the intention behind works of art.
那么应该90%的同学可以做对,正确答案是D。如果做不对的同学,请你踏踏实实去背背YOYO的核心2000词或是学术核心词汇566吧。
但是,选择题的实际出题模式是这样的:
出题模式二:
这篇文章的标题是:Neuroaesthetics
题目:Angelina Hawley-Dolan’s findings indicate that people
A mostly favour works of art which they know well.
Bhold fixed ideas about what makes a good work of art.
Care often misled by their initial expectations of a work of art.
Dhave the ability to perceive the intention behind works of art.
原文出题点:Angelina Hawley-Dolan, of Boston College, Massachusettes, responded to this debate by asking volunteers to view pairs of paintings - either the creations of famous abstract artists or the doodles of infants, chimps and elephant. They then had to judge which they preferred. A third of the paintings were given no captions, while many were labelled incorrectly-volunteers might think they were viewing a chimp’s messy brushstrokes when they were actually seeing an acclaimed masterpiece. In each set of trials, volunteers generally preferred the work of renowned artists, even when they believed it was by an animal or a child. It seems that the viewer can sense the artist’s vision in paintings, even if they can’t explain why.
出题模式一,其实就是雅思选择题的本质所在。出题模式二是正常的雅思考试的出题模式,配上抽象的主题和很多看似简单又读不懂的无关信息,以此来加大考试的难度,这就是雅思考官出题的套路。出题模式一和二一对比,大家就明白了,其实选择题,真正的难点在于:同学们往往不能准确定位出考官的出题点到底是哪一句子。烤鸭们一般可以大概定位到题目出题“面”--- 段落,但是,却不能准确定位“点”--出题的句子。所以,很多同学常常有需要读一整段或是两个段落来解一个选择题的错觉。
简言之,雅思阅读选择题的解题关键是:一定要能够准确点位出题点!这样,就可以有效排除很多干扰信息了。而在仅有的一个句子中,去读懂,再去识别选项的同义替换,这样选择题的难度就大大减小了。
那么,问题来了?如何锁定出题点呢?如何做到从“面”到“点”的准确定位呢?
定位选择题的出题点,可以根据题目的提问方式,来进行分类,每类题目的出题点和出题规律一般都是比较固定。雅思选择题的提问方式和出题点位置,一般可以分为以下几大类:
出题规律1:实验看结果
1.考查实验相关的题目,一般重点都是考实验的结果,重点直接去文中快速锁定实验的结果,一般表结果的关键词是:findings, ...found that..., It seems that..., it would seem that....
正常来说:当讲到某个实验的时候,文中的行文顺序:WHY该实验的背景/目的--HOW该实验如何进行--WHAT实验对象在实验做了什么或是如何表现的---Results/Findings。所以,当提到某个实验时,一般会有2-3句来讲实验的why, how和what,结果往往放在最后。解题时,直接快速跳到实验后边去看实验的结果。
如上题所示:题目问Angelina Hawley-Dolan’s findings indicate...(他的实验结果表明....), 文中,段落前几句描述的都是跟实验相关的内容,到最后一句It seems that..., 才是结果。考生们在做题前,如果能够非常清晰的了解这个特点的话,就可以高效准确的解题了。
出题规律2:例子看观点
2.题目考查具体例子的,一般都是问例子说明或支持的观点,重点看原文例子的前后句。举例都是为了说明观点的。如果段落开头就是例子的,则需要看例子所在段落的前段的主要观点,观点的位置一般在上段的最后部分,提出一个观点,然后下段用例子证明。一般例子讲完后,在例子后边会再次总结一下观点。简言之,出现例子的重点看例子前后的句子。
出题规律3:主旨细节要分清
3.如果题目提问中出现段落的,如果是问段落大意,就看段落主题句,快速把握段落主旨。出现段落,但不问主旨的,一定要先定好段落中具体细节,再解题。如: According to the eighth paragraph, how was the geography of the region significant? 题目中提到第8段,但是不能看一整个段落解题,还要定位到关键词geography 所在的句子,理解后再做题。
雅思阅读做不完的原因诊断
1. 没有良好的阅读习惯
随着网络的发展,信息进入爆炸发展的时代,人们对信息的摄入显得越来越浮躁,现在的人们对于阅读材料一旦字数超过140就很难坚持读下去(这也是微博字数限制140的原因),相信很多同学读到这个位置的时候已经忍不住想关掉退出了,心想“mark一下回头再看吧!”
但是雅思阅读文章都是700-1000字不等的文章,在阅读中容易出现走神的现象耽误时间。
解决方案
每天坚持泛读一篇完整的,1000字左右的英文材料,BBC news就是个不错的选择。
2. 英语语言基础薄弱
词汇&语法基础薄弱,阅读过程中生词太多,或是长难句难以抓住句子主干,不能了解中心思想,导致反复阅读及猜想,耽误了时间。
解决方案
通过精读雅思阅读文章的方式积累单词,辨析长难句巩固语法。为自己定下目标,每天至少通过精读的方式记住比如50个生词(根据自身情况而定),至少一个以前不会的语法点。
3. 短时记忆力差
看完题之后回到原文中扫读文章找出题点,结果找的过程中忘了题目说的是什么而读漏了,再翻过去看题,来回翻来回找,浪费了时间。
解决方案
循序渐进锻炼短时记忆力,从1道题开始,读完闭上眼,脑中重复2次该题内容。回到原文中每读完一小段马上再重复回忆题目内容。能够无障碍记忆一道题之后,同时记忆两道题再扫读原文。以此类推。
生活中也可以时刻锻炼短时记忆能力,比如说朋友的电话号码,走在街上看到瞬间开过的车牌照,等等等都可以加强你的短时记忆能力,这个是可以靠短期的训练来提高的。
4. 患有注意力缺失症
患有注意力缺失症的话,会很难坚持一句一句的扫读原文,大脑会带着眼睛在文章里乱扫,浪费了时间却完全没走心。
解决方案
可以自行百度“舒尔特表”来进行练习集中注意力。画一个5X5的表格,1写到正中间,其他2-25乱序随机写到其他空格,练习时眼睛盯着中间的1,用旁光去按顺序搜索2-25。
5. 对雅思阅读考试不了解
没有参加过雅思培训,不了解考官出题模式,不了解雅思阅读文章写作规律,还在用原始的“先看文章再看题作答”的模式,或是在用精读原文每一句话的强迫症阅读方式,导致时间不够。没有在考场上正确的合理的分配阅读和解题的时间。
解决方案
反复计时刷题、来听孟老师的雅思阅读课程。
6. 瞎
这个老师帮不到你,千万不要放弃治疗。
以上这些提升雅思阅读解题速度的方法适用于还有一定准备时间的同学,阅读速度不是一朝一夕就能有效提升的,要靠慢慢的积累,综合能力的加强。
如果马上就要考试的同学,短时间内能做的就是练习合理的安排答题时间,记住一点:咱的目标不是读完三篇文章,而是做完40道题,其实也不是做完40道题,而是把30道题做对拿7分以上。读完三篇文章和做对30道题是截然不同的概念。所以短期备考的同学要学会取舍。如果你的目标是7分,你可以错10道题呢,一篇文章才13道题,相当于可以放弃将近一整片文章。
雅思阅读练习题:对待人口老龄化的态度
ON a stage decorated with tinsel(金箔) and fairy lights, Liu Changsheng is singing “The East is Red” into a microphone, wearing a yellow and grey tracksuit(运动套装). For Mr Liu, the Maoist anthem(赞美诗;颂歌) of the 1960s may arouse memories more vivid than those he has of his immediate past. Now in his seventies, he has dementia(痴呆症), an incurable brain disease that is often revealed by a loss of short-term memory(短时记忆). For two years Mr Liu has lived at the Qianhe Nursing Home in northern Beijing in a facility for around 75 dementia patients. They are among the few sufferers of this condition in China who receive specialist care.
Dementia has mostly been a rich-world sickness, because it becomes more common as people live longer. China is fast catching up. Life expectancy(期待寿命) increased from 45 in 1960 to 77 now, and the population is ageing rapidly: one person in six is over 60 now; by 2025 nearly one in four will be. Factors that increase the (age-adjusted) risk of developing dementia are also on the rise, including obesity(肥胖症), smoking, lack of exercise and diabetes(糖尿病).
Already about 9 m people in China have some form of dementia. In absolute terms, that is more than twice as many as in America.(从绝对数看,这个数字是美国的两倍以上。) It is also more than double the number in India, a country with a population similar in size to China’s but a much younger one. Nearly two-thirds of China’s sufferers have the form known as Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症), cases of which have tripled since 1990. The number of Alzheimer’s patients may increase another fourfold between now and 2050.
China’s government is woefully(不幸地) unprepared for this crisis, with a severe lack of health-care provision for sufferers. So too is the public. Despite recent public-information campaigns, many Chinese regard dementia as a natural part of ageing, not as a disease, and do not know that it is fatal. Others see it as a psychological ailment(疾病) rather than a degeneration of the brain itself. It carries a stigma(污名) of mental illness, making sufferers and their relatives reluctant to seek help. This compounds(使......严重化) the suffering caused by dementia: active management can sometimes slow its progress.
Even at the Qianhe Nursing Home, where Mr Liu lives, some aspects of the care appear crude(初级的;原始的). A shared “activity” space for dementia sufferers has no games or toys to entertain them; relatives are discouraged from visiting more than once a week for fear of “disturbing” their kin (in the West, care homes encourage visits, which can be stimulating and provide a sense of warmth and familiarity). Some dementia patients end up in psychiatric wards, which cannot deal effectively with their specific requirements. There is an acute shortage of medical workers qualified to treat sufferers(合格的医护工作人员严重缺乏来治疗患者。). One reason is that few are attracted to the work. Zhang Xiurong, 50, a care assistant at Qianhe, is paid less than 3,000 yuan ($450) a month, close to the average national migrant wage, to provide all patients’ basic needs 12 hours a day, with only four days off a month. “No Chinese parent wants their one daughter to work in a hospital cleaning bedpans,” says Michael Phillips of the Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.
In the West most patients go to a care home for the final brutal stages of the disease, which can last more than a year. In China families carry most of the burden from beginning to end. The government has long underinvested in social care, assuming that adult children will take responsibility(在社会照护方面,政府长期投入不足,认为应该由长大的孩子来负责。). But this is unsustainable. Plunging birth rates since the 1970s, exacerbated(使加重;使恶化) by a one-child-per-couple policy, mean that the number of working-age adults per person over 65 will fall by 2050 from ten to 2.5. Migration into cities (see article) is leaving some elderly people in the countryside without family members to care for them.
Need for new thinking
The government has been slow to recognise the scale of the problem. It funds some dementia research, but the money goes to scientists looking for a cure, rather than to those trying to find ways of alleviating(减轻) the suffering of patients who have no chance of one. (政府资助了一些痴呆症研究,但是拥有经费的科学家们寻找的是治疗方案,而不是致力于找到办法来减轻那些根本没治的病人的痛苦。)“People don’t get Nobel prizes or grants for developing a strategy for community care,” says Dr Phillips.
In any country care can be expensive, both for families and governments. In China the government will find itself having to spend much more as relatives prove unequal to the task. Because family members rarely understand the condition, more than 90% of dementia cases go undetected(没被发现的), according to a study led by Ruoling Chen of King’s College in London. Sufferers will benefit when the government at last realises it has to step in.

1. No compound that would safely achieve the same feat in people has been found yet, but the search has beeninformative and has fanned hope that caloric-restriction (CR) mimetics can indeed be developed eventually.(剑6T3P3)
参考译文:安全地在人类实现同样效果的化合物还没有找到,但是这份研究已经很有启发性,最终开发出控热仿生物的希望被点燃了。
2. Could such a‘caloric-restriction mimetic’, as we call it, enable people to stay healthy longer, postponing age-related disorders (such as diabetes, arteriosclerosis, heart disease and cancer) until very late in life? (剑6T3P3)
参考译文:我们口中的这种“模拟热量限制法”是否真的可以让人们更长久地保持健康呢,也就是说是否可以推迟与年龄相关的疾病(比如糖尿病,动脉粥样硬化,心脏病和癌症)的发生,直到我们很大年纪呢?
