雅思閱讀作為一項輸入端考試, 相比輸出端的口語和寫作, 無論是從難度還是從提高的進(jìn)度,都相比之下簡單一些。 那么雅思閱讀應(yīng)該如此提高,滬江小編覺得, 應(yīng)該從詞,句, 段落幾個維度進(jìn)行。

  關(guān)于雅思閱讀的單詞

  作為一項語言能力考試,很多考生剛剛接觸到雅思越的時候,普遍的感受是: 不適應(yīng)。 好多背過的單詞意思在句子里面行不通, 那么雅思閱讀的詞匯的“ 廬山真面目”體現(xiàn)在什么地方呢

  維度1 : 要有詞性之間的轉(zhuǎn)折意識

  例1:

  In recent months these questions have become more frequent as former and current ministers, governors,high officials and an American investorhave ended up in Moscow’s high-security

  Lefortovo jail

  例2:

  Disney’s dominance of the box office will count for less as fewer people frequent cinemas

  在例1 中很容易讀出來 frequent 就是adj 頻繁的;經(jīng)常的; 但是在例2 中frequent 搖身一變,成了動詞, “ 經(jīng)常觀光”的意思。

  維度2: 要有積累熟詞僻義的意識

  例1:

  Why and how these people spread out into central and southern Africa remains a mystery, but archaeologists believe that their iron weapons allowed them to conquer their hunting-gathering opponents, who still used stone implements.

  在本例中,詞匯量稍微大一點(diǎn)的考生,就背過implement v 貫徹;執(zhí)行; 但是帶入句子中意思并不能理解, 那這個情況下就要有主動學(xué)習(xí)的意識, 根據(jù)句子本身,發(fā)現(xiàn)implement 在這里做名詞用, 查一下便可發(fā)現(xiàn), implement : a tool, especially one used for outdoor physical work. 尤指用于戶外體力活的〕工具,用具,器具 所以如果在平時練習(xí)或者考試中遇到agricultural implements 這個表達(dá),便可以心領(lǐng)神會的讀出來,這是“農(nóng)業(yè)工具”的意思。

  例2:

  Apprentices were considered part of the family, and masters were responsible not only for teaching their apprentices a trade but also for providing them some education and for supervising their moral behavior

  在本例中,考生讀到a trade 的時候,便可發(fā)現(xiàn), trade 在這里必然不是 n 貿(mào)易的意思, 根據(jù)上面所談的主動學(xué)習(xí)的意識, 查詞典便可發(fā)現(xiàn) trade : particular job, especially one needing special skill with your hands n 手藝 所以當(dāng)讀到 Borison’s father is a teacher by trade 的時候, 便可以沒有阻礙的看出, 這句話說的是Borison的父親的職業(yè)是老師。

  維度3:要有詞義之間的聯(lián)想意識

  例1:

  Individual users were in his mind, too, when companies came to him for smart solutions. He liked to work alongside their employees for a while, so that he could tailor an app exactly to their routines

  本句話中考生們對于tailor 這個詞應(yīng)該算是熟悉的, 表示n 裁縫, 但是在句子例, tailor很明顯,做的是動詞, 那么維度3談及的要有詞義之間的聯(lián)想意識指的是什么? 裁縫什么畫面? 量體裁衣! 所以tailor 做動詞 可以表示 給--量身定制;給--專門設(shè)計; 當(dāng)讀到這樣的句子:the director tailor the part for her .就可以讀懂這句話的意思是 導(dǎo)演給她量身定制了這個角色。

  維度 2:

  Being told she was “technically good, but not very creative” was harder to stomach

  在這句話中stomach 很明顯并不是“ 胃”的本意, 而“ 胃”什么畫面? 有足夠的接受能力, 所以根據(jù)剛才所談的詞義之間的聯(lián)想意識, stomach v 接受;承受 當(dāng)讀到 : a twenty percent water rate increase is more than most residents can stomach 的時候, 就可以知道這句話表達(dá)的是 : 水費(fèi)上漲百分之二十 ,大部分居民接受不了。

  關(guān)于雅思閱讀中的句子

  很多考生對于雅思閱讀中的句子也依然感到很困惑,感覺很多時候讀不懂或者需要讀幾遍才能看懂,那么雅思閱讀的句子應(yīng)該怎么去處理應(yīng)對呢?

  維度1: 要有抓句子主干的意識,主謂先相接。

  例:Indeed, the purple color extracted from a snail was once so costly that in society at the time only the rich could afford it

  本句話中主語是the purple color, 在讀的時候, extracted from a snail 是修飾, 做后置定語,在讀的時候很顯然是可以略過的, 讓主語the purple color 和was so costly 先相接。

  維度2:要有句式預(yù)判的意識

  很多句子是靠固定搭配支撐的, 因此在讀的時候, 要把句子的固定搭配先提煉出來,比如讀到distinguish 的時候, 要提醒自己后面基本上給出distinguish a from b , 讀到replace 的時候,提醒自己后面基本上給出replace a with b .

  例:

  They identified as drivers of this problem our dependency on fossil fuels and unsupportive government policies.

  這句話對于很多考生而言,可能是相比之下可能第一感覺很懵, 原因很簡單,這句話出現(xiàn)了語言能力考試?yán)锩娴拈L難句中的“賓語后置”. 那么其實讀懂這句話需要什么支撐呢 ? 句式預(yù)判的意識! 讀到identify 的時候, 要提醒自己,后面的結(jié)構(gòu)是identify a as b , 所以這句話的正常語序是: they identified our dependency on fossil fuels and unsupportive government polices as drivers of this problem .

  維度3 : 要有識別固定搭配的意識

  Moderating content on the internet has so far been a losing game of whack-a-mole.

  This was brought home by the Christchurch massacre in New Zealand in March,

  when a video of the shooting and a manifesto written by the alleged culprit spread

  rapidly on some of the world’s best-resourced social-media platforms despite efforts to prevent their dissemination.

  這句話中的this was brought home 很明顯,幾乎和“ 帶回家”的意思不沾邊, 所以基本上可以斷定的是這應(yīng)該是屬于一個固定搭配。 查詞典可以發(fā)現(xiàn):

  bring sth home to sb/come home to sb :to make you realize how serious, difficult, or dangerous something is 使某人充分意識到某事〔的嚴(yán)重性、難度或危險性〕

  關(guān)于雅思閱讀的段落 :

  雅思閱讀相比之下,對于段落的考察要求比較低, 但是因為小標(biāo)題題這種題型的存在,考生們在備考的時候, 也要提高自己對于讀段落整體速度的能力。

  例:

  Second, litigation may no longer be quite the deterrent it once was. Criminal cases leading to jail terms for top executives are as rare as socialists at Goldman Sachs. And civil law has lost its bite. America has long used class-action (集體起訴)suits to punish firms and compensate consumers. Tort costs(侵權(quán)成本) born by firms are equivalent to about 2% of GDP a year, higher than in other countries(這塊本質(zhì)而言都是讓步用的,是在陳述的是litigation 的deterrent的性質(zhì),在讀的時候就應(yīng)該提醒自己,這塊并非是陳述的重點(diǎn)). Nonetheless(讀的時候的重點(diǎn)出現(xiàn) 開始轉(zhuǎn)折,論述litigation 的not deterrent it was once), life has got easier for firms. Arbitration clauses, in which customers and staff forfeit the right to pursue class actions, have become more common. Firms are more likely to extend cases to appeal, which can take up to a decade. One veteran class-action lawyer says that financial penalties have shrunk relative to the value of many firms, which in turn have risen as a result of a takeover wave. She complains that for the top 50 firms, the threat of a multi-billion-dollar legal settlement “doesn’t move the needle any more”

  備注: 在讀for the top 50 firms 這句話的時候 需要注意的時, 這塊話之前之內(nèi)都沒有轉(zhuǎn)折, 說明這句話和前面的句子本質(zhì)而言都是方向一致的,所以move the needle 這個表述即使看不懂也沒有關(guān)系,反正論述的點(diǎn)都是在說明litigation may no longer be quite the deterrent it once was. 順便說一下move the needle 是英文里面的俚語, 表示 帶來改變/ 產(chǎn)生變化的意思。
