對于雅思閱讀來說,掌握好的閱讀方法是提高雅思閱讀成績的關鍵,那么接下來就和出國留學網來看看2020年雅思閱讀考試有哪些高分技巧?
閱讀方式
意群閱讀(Reading in thought groups)
一個好的閱讀者在閱讀過程中眼睛的移動是從一個意群到另一個意群;而普通閱讀者閱讀時眼睛從一個單詞移動到另一個單詞。避免把一個單詞讀出來,即使在腦子里讀出一個單詞而不出聲也很浪費時間。
E.g. (The little boy Johnie ) (had been up) (with a packet of mints) (and said) (he wouldn’t go out to play) (until the post had come.)
運用上下文的線索理解生詞 (using context clues for word meanings)
線索1:定義
a. The harbor is protected by a jetty-a wall built out into the water.
b. Jane is indecisive, that is, she can’t make up her mind.
線索2:重述
a. He had a wan look. He was so pale and weak that we thought he was ill.
b. I am a resolute man. Once I set up a goal, I won’t give it up easily.
線索3:普遍知識
a. The door was so low that I hit my head on the lintel.
b. Mark got on the motorbike, I sat behind him on the pillion, and we roared off into the night.
線索4:相關信息
a. Just before the exam Carl’s hands shook and sweated so much that he could not hold a pen. His heart beat fast and his stomach ached, even though he knew the subject very well. He really had a strange phobia about taking tests.
線索5:例子
a. Select any of these periodicals: Time, Newsweek, Reader’s Digest or the New Yorker.
b. She is studying glaucoma and other diseases of the eye.
線索6:比較
a. Jane was talking with others while Eliza remained reticent all the time.
線索7:比喻
a. The hot-air balloon took off. It was as buoyant in the air as a cork in water.
線索8:構詞知識
un-, im-,-less, -ness, -ion, -ist
尋找主題句,掌握段落主要思想。(look for the topic sentence and master the main idea)
主題句的位置可以在句首,句中或句末。但在句首的比例通常達到50%-60%,句末是主題句的可能性為30%左右。
細讀(scanning)
在尋找某些具體信息時,閱讀者需要仔細閱讀,定位自己所要的信息。這是雅思考試中運用最多的閱讀技能,對考生尋找答案的位置非常重要。
識別邏輯詞 (recognizing signal words)
邏輯詞表達前后句子的某種邏輯關系。通常有5種邏輯關系詞。這些詞對考生寫作也很有幫助。關于更多邏輯詞的介紹可以參看51雅思網的閱讀頻道的其他文章。
并列關系:
and, furthermore, more than that, also, likewise, moreover, in addition, what is more, for instance, for example,
轉折關系:
although, however, on the contrary, but, in spite of , nevertheless, yet, otherwise, despite
順序關系:
first, second, third, and so on, then, after, before, next
因果關系:
as a result, for, thus, because, for this reason, so ,therefore, as since, consequently
歸納總結:
as a result, finally, therefore, accordingly, in shout, thus, consequently, in conclusion, so, in brief, in a word
略讀 (skimming)
當讀者面對大量文字時,用普通的速度和方法會使讀者閱讀速度造成影響。閱讀者必須具備略讀的技能,從紛雜的文字中提取重要信息。略讀和細讀在雅思閱讀中的交叉運用,相得益彰,是考生必勝的法寶。
做題順序
在備考雅思閱讀考試時,多數(shù)考生存在這樣一個誤區(qū),即三篇文章的難易程度是遞增的,因而在考試時,如果時間不夠的話就不怎么管第三篇文章了,把前兩篇文章做完并做對就已經不錯了。其實,這是一種非常錯誤的觀念。因為閱讀文章的難易程度不是由易到難的,而是隨機的。具體先做哪一篇,考生還是要理性地分析。
實際上,既然雅思閱讀文章有題材考察與題型考察之分,那么考生其實就可以從這兩個角度進行分析,看看自己究竟適合先做哪一篇。
從雅思閱讀題材角度來看:
雅思閱讀文章通常分為生物,地理和社會科學三大類,不同類別包含的內容繁多,考生要熟悉了解。比如生物類題材是常考題材之一,常常涉及到動物的生活習性,基因研究,器官研究等。地理類題材有一定難度,所涉及的專業(yè)知識較多,范圍也很廣泛,如氣象預測,沙漠化之類的。社會類題材可以說是一個比較大的范疇,包含眾多小的分支,如教育,歷史,考古等等。
當考生拿過試卷后,要將三篇文章的主標題,副標題,插圖以及第一句話全部瀏覽后,選擇一篇從題材上自己比較熟悉和了解的文章先做,畢竟這樣的文章背景知識和專有名詞對于考生來說是相對熟悉的,做起題來就會容易一些。
從雅思閱讀題型角度來看:
在雅思閱讀考試中,如果考生對于三篇文章背景知識的掌握程度差不多的話,就可以在瀏覽完三篇文章所涉及到的所有題型之后,就可以選擇一篇從題型上自己比較拿手的文章先做。
雅思閱讀題型主要有八種,即list of headings,complete the sentences,answer short questions,picture filling,summary,multiple choices,matching,true or false or not given。不同題型的難易也會不同,比如list of headings也就是標題對應題,這類題型無需定位,但需要對文章大體的內容有一定理解,難度系數(shù)兩顆星; matching因果配對無出題規(guī)律,定位也比較復雜,難度系數(shù)三顆星;true or false or not given定位相對簡單,但是往往在判斷時容易失誤,難度系數(shù)兩顆星。
總而言之,考生要根據(jù)自己對不同題材和題型的掌握程度來決定雅思閱讀文章先做哪一篇,也就是要合理安排做題順序,這樣才會高效完成任務。另外,考生在打好基礎之后在平時最好能夠按照實際的閱讀考試時間來做題,檢測一下自己是否能夠在規(guī)定時間內做完所有題目,并找出不足之處加以改進。希望考生們取得滿意的雅思成績。
