9招快速找到雅思阅读答案

每次当谈到雅思阅读，烤鸭们都会说自己的时间不够用，为了完成任务，经常最后一篇阅读连蒙带猜糊弄过去。确实是这样，雅思阅读时间不够用，是大家普遍存在的问题，想要解决这个问题最好的方法当然是从根本上提高自己的英语水平，或者疯狂刷雅思阅读题库，但是很多烤鸭马上就要考试了，已经没有时间了，如果是这样发的话，天道小编今天就教你几招，让你快速的找到雅思阅读答案。

1、猜读词义

IELTS测试时不许用词典，而且也没有必要去读懂每一个词。如所遇到的词对理解全文及答题不构成任何困难，则不必理会它的词义，但所碰到的词使你在理解全文，甚至回答问题时出现困难，则要设法去猜测其词义。

猜测词义要从两方面着手：1、根据其所在句子的上下文，及前后的词语，探其究竟;2、如果根据上下文及前后词语还是无法确切了解其真正含义，你可以再看一下这个词对整个句子所构成的影响是肯定的(POSITIVE)，还是否定的 (NEGATIVE)，实际上这对你理解作者的意图已足够了

2、优先查看数字

在文章中，数字是极容易找到的，如果在问句中出现数字时，可优先将数字作为标示牌在文章中找出答案的位置。需注意有时问句中的数字在文章中可能会用文字形式表达。

3、查看附带的图表、示意图

在IELTS阅读测试时，经常在一篇文章中带有图表或示意图。这些图表一定包含了一些有关回答问题的信息，也就是说有的答案就在这些图表中。因此，在阅读文章时一定要对这些图表做一扫描，了解其内容从而加快答题速度，不然的话，就可能陷在文章中四处找寻答案而乱无头绪。

4、长句短读

长句短读：即指将一个长句子(有时不止一个句子，还包括从句)读成一个相对短的句子，以对长句子内容作一总结式归纳，找出其所陈述的要点。这种能力的培养对IELTS阅读测试帮助极大，考生应在平时勤加练习。

5、图表形式出现的问句

如果问句是以图表形式出现，那么图表栏目中，应标有一些文字题目，这些词/短语可用作关键词语。所以在答题时应细读图表中的词/短语，从而清楚地知道是何种问题，怎样回答。

6、三点相符原则检查答案

匹配题除了配标题外，还有匹配句子开头或结尾形式，或图表标题与图表部分相匹配的题型。总而言之，所给出的答案必须与所匹配部分的内容相一致。三点相符原则在确定答案正确性方面帮助极大。如果在匹配过程中找出三个逻辑上相同点既可确信答案正确无疑;两点相同，准确率也应在80%以上;一点相同，就须根据语法知识及相关信息加以判断。

7、利用例句确定答案在文章中的位置

如能在一组题内先查看例句及最后一个问题，并确定例句的关键词语与最后一个问题的关键词语在文章中的位置，即可确定其它各题的答案一定是处在它们之间的段落内，从而缩小了搜索答案的范围。这种方法特别适用于填空题(GAPFILL)，而且也适用于其它题型。

8、掌握句子顺序上的变化

问句中所含信息与文章中相应句子中的信息在顺序上有时可能出现不同，甚至前后完全倒置。这种情况可能会导致迷失答题的方向。还应注意到文章中有关问句的信息并非全都能在每个句子中找到，甚至在关键词及短语之间存在一些不相关的信息，这些都会是寻找答案过程中的困难。

9、查找同义词、近义词、相关词

在IELTS阅读考试中，能否准确找出正确答案很大程度上取决于能否辩认出同义词、近义词、相关词及不同形式的短语。1、词形完全相同;2、词义相同，即同义词;3、词义相近，但并非同义;4、词义相关。

上述四种词汇/短语表达方式中，第一种当然容易辩认，第二种同义词也相对不难，但第三种与第四种形式则不易辩认，所以要在阅读过程中多加比较练习。如能攻破这一关，则一定能够取得好的考试成绩。

以上9种方法需要灵活搭配使用，当然了，想要让自己的雅思阅读提高速度，最根本的还是从本质入手才能以不变应万变。如果还能再搭配上技巧才能发挥出巨大的功效，天道小编希望大家理智对待各种技巧，千万不要本末倒置，将技巧奉为英语的基础。

When Denis Hennequin took over as the European boss of McDonald’s in January 2004，the world’s biggest restaurant chain was showing signs of recovery in America and Australia，but sales in Europe were sluggish or declining.One exception was France，where Mr Hennequin had done a sterling job as head of the group’s French subsidiary to sell more Big Macs to his compatriots.His task was to replicate this success in all 41 of the European countries where anti- globalisers’favourite enemy operates. B. So far Mr Hennequin is doing https://www.360docs.net/doc/4f507162.html,st year European sales increased by 5.8%and the number of customers by 3.4%， the best annual results in nearly 15 years.Europe accounted for 36%of the group’s profits and for 28%of its sales.December was an especially good month as customers took to seasonal menu offerings in France and Britain，and to a promotion in Germany based on the game of Monopoly.

雅思英语阅读练习题及答案

雅思英语阅读练习题及答案：第一篇内容摘要：The failure of a high-profile cholesterol drug has thrown a spotlight on the complicated machinery that regulates cholesterol levels. ★Why did a promising heart drug fail? Doomed drug highlights complications of meddling with cholesterol. 1. The failure of a high-profile cholesterol drug has thrown a spotlight on the complicated machinery that regulates cholesterol levels. But many researchers remain confident that drugs to boost levels of 'good' cholesterol are still one of the most promising means to combat spiralling heart disease. 2. Drug company Pfizer announced on 2 December that it was cancelling all clinical trials of torcetrapib, a drug designed to raise heart-protective high-density lipoproteins (HDLs). In a trial of 15000 patients, a safety board found that more people died or suffered cardiovascular problems after taking the drug plus a cholesterol-lowering statin than those in a control group who took the statin alone. 3. The news came as a kick in the teeth to many cardiologists because earlier tests in animals and people suggested it would lower rates of cardiovascular disease. "There have been no red flags to my knowledge," says John Chapman, a specialist in lipoproteins and atherosclerosis at the National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM) in Paris who has also studied torcetrapib. "This cancellation came as a complete shock." 4. Torcetrapib is one of the most advanced of a new breed of drugs designed to raise levels of HDLs, which ferry cholesterol out of artery-clogging plaques to the liver for removal from the body. Specifically, torcetrapib blocks a protein called cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), which normally transfers the cholesterol from high-density lipoproteins to low density, plaque-promoting ones. Statins, in contrast, mainly work by lowering the 'bad' low-density lipoproteins. Under pressure 5. Researchers are now trying to work out why and how the drug backfired, something that will not become clear until the clinical details are released by Pfizer. One hint lies in evidence from earlier trials that it slightly raises blood pressure in some patients. It was thought that this mild problem would be offset by the heart benefits of the drug. But it is possible that it actually proved fatal in some patients who already suffered high blood pressure. If blood pressure is the explanation, it would actually be good news for drug developers because it suggests that the problems are specific to this compound. Other prototype drugs that are being developed to block CETP work in a slightly different way and might not suffer the same downfall. 6. But it is also possible that the whole idea of blocking CETP is flawed, says Moti Kashyap, who directs atherosclerosis research at the VA Medical Center in Long Beach, California. When HDLs excrete cholesterol in the liver, they actually rely on LDLs for part of this process. So inhibiting CETP, which prevents the transfer of cholesterol from HDL to LDL, might actually cause an abnormal and irreversible

雅思考试阅读部分全解析

雅思考试阅读部分全解析无论是A类还是G类, 雅思的阅读与国内\国际现今流行的各种重大考试有很大的区别。其广泛的选材范围、多样的出题形式、艰涩的段落和句法结构、冗长的篇幅和无处不在的生词对于考生的语言实力和解题技巧提出了严峻的考验。但是，回顾这么多年的考试历程，雅思并没有跳出语言测试的樊篱。换言之，雅思就是在有限的时间里测试考生的语言实力和应试技巧。一、概述 I．文章的篇幅长篇幅是雅思阅读文章的突出特点。每段文章至少700字以上，7、8个段落也算正常。阅读目的就是为理解服务，应试型阅读就是为解题服务。雅思阅读中的题目虽然貌似复杂，其实归结起来无外乎主旨题与细节理解题。而解题的过程实际上是略读、扫读和细读这三大技巧的综合。雅思考试的阅读很有限，一个小时读三篇文章，每篇文章的阅读和解题时间非常短暂。因此，我们要坚持两点论和重点论相结合的原则，使用略读的技巧在短时间内抓住文章的中心思想、段落大意和长句的要旨。然后，仔细阅读文章之后的题目，并从中找出关键词或词组，同时迅速扫读，确定题目答案在原文中所对应的大致范围。然后对相关语段进行仔细阅读。这样，可以避免或减少对文章中干扰信息的阅读，从而节省时间，提高阅读效率。 II．文章的选材范围剑桥大学考试委员会秉承剑桥大学的作风，奉行高等教育的精英主义理念，反复强调非专业原则和国际化两条原则，体现考试的公平和公正、严肃和全面的特点，所选的文章大多源于世界主流媒体，如Economist , Financial Times，Guardian；政府各部门的社会发展报告，联合国机构的年度报告；某些著名的协会杂志(带有官方色彩)，如Info；英国及欧洲的专业杂志如Arts Management，Arts Education等；70%的自然科学文章选自National Geographic, New Scientist, Science, Popular立场Science和Nature杂志；80%的重大事件（非政治经济），重大发明都选自美国国家地理杂志（National Geographic）雅思是一种语言考试，不是专业测试。因此，为了让不同政治经济体制，不同肤色，不同文化背景的人能平等参与，法律及专业性较强的医学，生物学，哲学，文学，艺术等的文章已经不再作为其考查范围。以下几个方面的内容经常作为考点出现：世界范围的就业状况；世界范围内的教育状况，经济发展的问题，

READING PASSAGE 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-14 which are based on Reading Passage 1. Spider silk cuts weight of bridges A strong, light bio-material made by genes from spiders could transform construction and industry. A Scientists have succeeded in copying the silk-producing gene of the Golden Orb Weaver spider and are using them to create a synthetic material which they believe is the model for a new generation of advanced bio-materials. The new material, biosilk, which has been spun for the first time by researchers at DuPont, has an enormous range of potential uses in construction and manufacturing. B The attraction of the silk spun by the spider is a combination of great strength and enormous elasticity, which man-made fibres have been unable to replicate. On an equal-weight basis, spider silk is far stronger than steel and it is estimated that if a single strand could be made about 10m in diameter, it would be strong enough to stop a jumbo jet in flight. A third important factor is that it is extremely light. Army scientists are already looking at the possibilities of using it for lightweight, bullet-proof vests and parachutes. C For some time, biochemists have been trying to synthesise the drag-line silk of the Golden Orb Weaver. The drag-line silk, which forms the radial arms of the web, is stronger than the other parts of the web and some biochemists believe a synthetic version could prove to be as important a material as nylon, which has been around for 50 years, since the discoveries of Wallace Carothers and his team ushered in the age of polymers. D To recreate the material, scientists, including Randolph Lewis at the University of Wyoming, first examined the silk-producing gland of the spider. "We took out the glands that produce the silk and looked at the coding for the protein material they make, which is spun into a web. We then went looking for clones with the right DNA," he says. E At DuPont, researchers have used both yeast and bacteria as hosts to grow the raw material, which they have spun into fibres. Robert Dorsch, DuPont’s director of biochemical development, says the globules of protein, comparable with marbles in an egg, are harvested and processed. "We break open the bacteria, separate out the globules of protein and use them as the raw starting material. With yeast, the gene system can be designed so that the material excretes the protein outside the yeast for better access," he says.

READING READING PASSAGE 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below. Sleep medication linked to bizarre behaviour New evidence has linked a commonly prescribed sleep medication with bizarre behaviours，including a case in which a woman painted her front door in her sleep. UK and Australian health agencies have released information about 240 cases of odd occurrences，including sleepwalking，amnesia and hallucinations among people taking the drug zolpidem. While doctors say that zolpidem can offer much-needed relief for people with sleep disorders，they caution that these newly reported cases should prompt a closer look at its possible side effects. Zolpidem，sold under the brand names Ambien，Stilnoct and Stilnox，is widely prescribed to treat insomnia and other disorders such as sleep apnea. Various forms of the drug，made by French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi-Aventis，were prescribed 674，500 times in 2005 in the UK. A newly published report from Austral ia’s Federal Health Department describes 104 cases of hallucinations and 62 cases of amnesia experienced by people taking zolpidem since marketing of the drug began there in 2000. The health department report also mentioned 16 cases of strange sleepwalking by people taking the medication. Midnight snack In one of these sleepwalking cases a patient woke with a paintbrush in her hand after painting the front door to her house. Another case involved a woman who gained 23 kilograms over seven months while takin g zolpidem. “It was only when she was discovered in front of an open refrigerator while asleep that the problem was resolved，” according to the report. The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency，meanwhile，has recorded 68 cases of adverse reactions to zolpidem from 2001 to 2005.
