Reading Passage 1

Title:

Sleeping nap

Question types:

Yes/No/Not Given(4)

Summary Completion(6)

Short Answer Questions(3)

文章内容回顾

人们 容易犯错的时候就是下午,因此午睡很重要;然后描述午睡多久,在哪里睡比较好; 后提了manager应该注意的事项。

题型难度分析

篇的题型包括是非无判断、归纳摘要填空以及简答题。由于三种题型都是顺序题型,且均是对于文章中信息的定位和细节的同义转换,难度系数中等。

题型技巧分析

Summary是雅思阅读考试的常客,做summary时首先要明确是全文型的还是段落型的。若是全文型的summary要把握文章结构,注意段首句的阅读,有效将summary中各个句子分配到文章段落中,注意前后的逻辑联系。若是段落型的summary, 首先要确定考察的是文章的哪个段落,可以通过以下几种方式进行定位:1) 题目直接给出;2) summary的小标题;3) summary中的特殊印刷体;4) 大题顺序原则。

定位好段落以后再使用完成句子题的方法进行一一解答,先定位,再判断所填词的词性或词类,然后进行同义转换的预测, 后回原文寻找答案。

相关英文原文阅读

Nanotechnology (sometimes shortened to "nanotech") is the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. The earliest, widespread description of nanotechnology referred to the particular technological goal of precisely manipulating atoms and molecules for fabrication of macroscale products, also now referred to as molecular nanotechnology. A more generalized description of nanotechnology was subsequently established by the National Nanotechnology Initiative, which defines nanotechnology as the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers. This definition reflects the fact that quantum mechanical effects are important at this quantum-realm scale, and so the definition shifted from a particular technological goal to a research category inclusive of all types of research and technologies that deal with the special properties of matter that occur below the given size threshold. It is therefore common to see the plural form "nanotechnologies" as well as "nanoscale technologies" to refer to the broad range of research and applications whose common trait is size. Because of the variety of potential applications (including industrial and military), governments have invested billions of dollars in nanotechnology research. Through its National Nanotechnology Initiative, the USA has invested 3.7 billion dollars. The European Union has invested 1.2 billion and Japan 750 million dollars.

Nanotechnology as defined by size is naturally very broad, including fields of science as diverse as surface science, organic chemistry, molecular biology, semiconductor physics, microfabrication, etc. The associated research and applications are equally diverse, ranging from extensions of conventional device physics to completely new approaches based upon molecular self-assembly, from developing new materials with dimensions on the nanoscale to direct control of matter on the atomic scale.

Scientists currently debate the future implications of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology may be able to create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics, biomaterials and energy production. On the other hand, nanotechnology raises many of the same issues as any new technology, including concerns about the toxicity and environmental impact of nanomaterials, and their potential effects on global economics, as well as speculation about variousdoomsday scenarios. These concerns have led to a debate among advocacy groups and governments on whether special regulation of nanotechnology is warranted.

题型难度分析

段落细节配对+人名理论配对+部分段落的摘要题。对于绝大多数的考生来说,两套配对题在同一篇文章中出现,压力较大。尤其是段落细节配对这种题型的存在使得这篇文章的题型难度系数中等偏上。

题型技巧分析

Matching(人名&观点)在近期的雅思阅读考试中出现的次数比较多。做这一题型,首先要明确它的题干是有序还是无序的(人名出现在题干中一般为有序)。其次要注意解题的顺序,若是有序型的,则可按人名在文中出现的顺序解题,若是无序型的,按人名出现次数从少到多解题。在解题时,当定位到某一人名后,要特别留意此人所说的话(即引号中的内容),而这一人名后附加的一长串头衔,则可省略不读。

A. 人名观点配对一般考察的是某个人的言论(statement)、观点(opinion)、评论(comment)、发现(findings or discoveries)。这样,一般这个题的答案在文中就只有两个答案区:

1. 人名边上的引号里面的内容;

2. 人名+ think /say /claim /argue /believe /report /find /discover /insist /admit /report... + that从句。

B. 人名在文中一般以以下方式出现:

1. 全称(full name), 如:Brian Waldron

2. (first name), 不常见

3. (surname), 如:Professor Smith

4. He/she(在同一段话中,该人再次出现时,用指示代词替代)

因此,建议考生去文中找人名时,应该将上述四种情况均考虑进去。再者,应该谨记在心的是:如果一个人名在一段话中出现N次,也只能算一次。如果一个人名在N段话中出现,就算N次。

C. 该题的答案遍布于全文。因此应该从文章的开头往后依次寻找人名。

D. 该题貌似是全篇文章的考察,其实考察的就是这些人所说的几句话。故应先从文中找人名,再去找答案。

Reading Passage 3

Title:

文学作品与社会

Question types:

Sentence Completion with a box

Multiple Choice

Yes/No/Not Given

题型难度分析

完成句子选择是顺序原则的题型,而这篇文章的单选题在题干中直接定位到相应的段落,是非无判断也是顺序题型,所以这篇文章的题型在定位上难度并不大,但由于学生对于相关话题不是很熟悉,导致在文章中相应句子的理解上花费比较多的时间。

题型技巧分析

是非无判断题作为2013年超级主流的题型,不仅要拿下,而且要快速准确地拿下。

注意:可以定位的词:特殊定位词(数字,大写,特殊符号)和名词。一定要带2-3个定位词一起定位,快速准确。

考点:

1. 数字是否精确和准确,注意数字前的nearly, almost, in excess of, exceed, more than, over

2. 比较级, 高级,注意形容词的比较级和 高级,(not) as...as, the most

3. 绝对限定词:all, only, fully, must, every, each, any, widely, largely

4. 因果关系词,as a result of, due to, lead to, contribute to, as, since, 注意原因和结果,不要弄反。

6 Test 4 Passage 2 Do literate women make better mothers?

考试趋势分析和备考指导:

 

本次考试四大题型出现了三种,Heading题没有考到,也符合近期考试Heading出现的规律。单选和完成句子、选择作为非主流题型在 近的考试中也经常露面。之所以考生觉得选择题正确率低,是因为很多学生在正确定位之后,对文章的原句进行过度推断,而没有进行字面意义上的同义改写,除此之外,选择题的选项很多,学生在时间紧张的情况下,往往浏览题干时没有仔细研究,导致选错答案。

 

应对策略:考生要特别注意每一种题型的复习,切不可因侥幸心理忽视了某种题型技巧的复习,因为很有可能忽略的题型成为考试中的主导题型。

 

由于配对题对考生的词汇和句型理解要求相当高,所以每位考生在上考场之前一定要把自己的英语基本功打牢,达到雅思所要求的词汇量和语法要求。毕竟雅思考试是考查真实的语言能力。基础薄弱的同学一定要开始认真打基础,稳扎稳打,反复操练,逐渐积累,切不可迷信所谓技巧,因为任何应试技巧都是建立在英语基础之上的,没有扎实的英语功底,任何技巧都是空谈。基础较好而考分要求较高的同学也不可骄傲自大,应耐心地将自己做错的题目仔细和原文进行比对、分析,时间允许的话应当将文章进行仔细的阅读。
