想要拿到雅思阅读高分,雅思阅读解题速度是很重要的要素。提高雅思阅读的做题速度,必须要掌握一些做题技巧。今天小编主要给大家分享快速提升雅思阅读解题速度的技巧,希望对你们有帮助!
一、快速提升雅思阅读解题速度的技巧
1、单词量
1)认识的:例如剑桥五上一篇讲塑料的文章中的asbestos(石棉)、formaldehyde(甲醛)、phenol(苯酚)等;需认识但是无需熟练掌握的:阅读不是写作,它是门输入型的考试,这类单词只需在考试中能回忆出其大致意思即可,例如pyramid(金字塔)、sphinx(狮身人面像);
2)熟练掌握类:这是最重要的一类,需熟练掌握它的用法以及同义词(这组词大部分都包含在四、六级词汇中)。其实,背单词不妨用些巧妙的办法,充分发挥想象力,就能把这个枯燥的任务变得充满乐趣。比如Ivy:长青藤。把IV看作罗马数字四,把Y想象成一棵树,连起来就是一年四季都长青的植物,推出长青藤之意;再如avarice:贪婪,rice的意思大家都知道,我们把V移到两个a的下面,很像一个人的脸。我们就把这个词想象成一个人很想吃饭,进而联想到贪婪的意思。
2、一词多义(背单词的升级版)
这种情况较第一种情况更郁闷一些。好好一句话,单词都认识,偏偏就是看不懂意思。其实,如果我们知道这是由一词多义现象造成的话,这种情况也就能自动归到第一种,因为这个一词多义的单词到了这句话中,对我们而言就是一个生词。其实不妨换位思考一下,我们的母语汉语有无一词多义呢?显然太多了。比如贼这个字指“小偷”,是名词;到了某些特殊的语境中却可以表示“非常”,变成了形容词。不但连意思变了,连词性也转了。那么,推己及人,英语也是一样的道理。大家背单词时一定要特意留心一个单词的词性,从而逐渐消除由于一词多义而造成的阅读障碍。
3、语法
说到语法,中国人的英语语法还不够好么?绝对够好!但我们习得的语法太过学术化,以至于我们对西方惯用方式反而陌生。举个最简单的例子:Yet 大家都认识,但雅思考试有一句常见的话:The scientists have yet to determine the……很多考生并没看出这是个否定句而出错,这就十分可惜了。再如:Children do not end up on the street due to a single cause,but to a combination of factors。很简单的一句话,对大部分考生来说基本不存在生词障碍,但是这句话中有两种必需掌握的语法:否定前置,Not否定的是due to而不是end up以及省略,but 和to 之间省略了一个to。特别是看出否定前置尤为重要,不然整句的意思就面目全非了。
4、做题方法
首先,了解出题者思路是一个很聪明的做题方法。比如important和necessary,我们中国学生有时思路非常缜密,认为重要的不一定是必要的,但是必要的就一定是重要的。这绝对是一个很完善的逻辑,但遗憾的是,西方人的思路非常简单,在他们眼里,这两个单词首先不矛盾,其次他们都指向需要、重要,那就没必要分那么细,于是这两个词是同义词。再有,阅读的一点难点在于迅速找出题目所对应的原文。这就须知道相关词的概念,即两个词未必意思一样但之间有关系。例如 expensive,大部分学生立刻会想到costly,not cheap,这里给大家一个单词Rolls Royce(劳斯莱斯),这两个单词在雅思阅读中就属于一种很巧妙的相关词,因为后者具有昂贵这个特点。再如bird有什么相关词呢?很多学生要去想背过的鸟的名字了,但雅思考试中却曾拿 Nest(雀巢)来与bird作为相关词来与之对应。这样的例子数不胜数,只有当我们收集到足够多的例子,才能从本质上提高阅读速度。
二、雅思阅读做题速度慢怎么办
1. in turn
大多数同学会理解为 “反过来”,认为前后语义是对立的,但实际上阅读中也可能表示顺接关系,翻译为“接着会…(发生)…”The conventional theory is that people yawn when bored or sleepy because yawning raises blood oxygen levels, which in turn raises alertness.
2. account for
大家背四级单词时更多的理解为 “(比例上)占…”的含义,实际上account for还有“解释,说明……”这个意思。Heavy rain accounts for most of the water that enters into lakes.Scientists will not be able to account for climate changeover the past century until they learn more about the urban heat island.
3. precipitation
这是个话题词汇,大多数文章中翻译为 “沉淀”,不过也有“降水”的意思。Ordinary meteoric water is water that has soaked into the ground from the surface, from precipitation (rain and snow) and from lakes and streams.
4. game
不是游戏哦,在学术文章中经常用来表达“野生猎物”这个意思。下次课别再困惑了。They had experienced great difficulty finding game west of the Rockies and not until the second of December did they kill their first elk.
5. solution
除了“解决方案”,还要知道另一个常见含义“溶液”。这个词在小作文流程图写作中也是一个得分高级词汇。Mineral deficiencies in many plants can be cured by misting their roots with a nutrient solution or by transferring the plants to a soilless nutrientsolution.
6. current
又一个学科背景词汇。常见的是形容词表“当下的”,实际还有“洋流、电流、气流”等含义。The same thing happens to this day, though on a smaller scale, wherever a sediment-laden river or stream emerges from a mountain valley onto relatively flat land, dropping its load as the current slows: the water usually spreads out fanwise, depositing the sediment in the form of a smooth, fan-shaped slope.
7. browse
家熟知的是“浏览”的含义,而实际上托福阅读中更常表达得是“觅食”这个意思。Where the forest inhibits the growth of grass and other meadow plants, the black-tailed deer browses on huckleberry, salal, dogwood, and almost any other shrub or herb. But this is fair-weather feeding.
8. impact
除了“影响”,还衍生出“冲击、撞击”的意思。这里提醒大家impact指代的影响也常常是负面含义的影响,大家在写作中要注意。In view of these facts, scientists hypothesized that a single large asteroid, about 10 to 15 kilometers across, collided with Earth, and the resulting fallout created the boundary clay. Their calculations show that the impact kicked up a dust cloud that cut off sunlight for several months, inhibiting photosynthesis in plants; decreased surface temperatures on continents to below freezing…
9. complex
作为名词的时候可以表达“建筑群”的含义。It had over 2,000 apartment complexes, a great market, a large number of industrial workshops, an administrative center, a number of massive religious edifices…
10. readily
别因为长得像“ready”就是准备好的意思,这个词其实是“容易地”意思。The release of heat energy is retarded by the tall vertical city walls that do not allow infrared radiation to escape as readily asdoes the relatively level surface of the surrounding countryside.
11. evident
又一个大家习惯想当然的词。都说成“证据”就不对了,还要知道“明显的”。Wind velocity also increases with altitude and may cause serious stress for trees, as is made evident by the deformed shapes at high altitudes.
12. collectively
不能望文生义为“收集地”,还有“共同地”这个释义较为常见。Eventually, six round forms of handwriting, composed of three pairs of big and little scripts known collectively as the Six Pens, became the standard repertory of every calligrapher.
13. evenly
别以为“even”加个“-ly”就是甚至的副词形式,别忘了 “even”本来就是个副词。这个词是“均匀地”。Petroleum forms best when organic matter is evenly distributed over ...
