先写个介绍吧,去年申请期考的雅思--总分7分,其中阅读7.5,听力8分,其他两项太低就不好意思说了。虽然在很多英语大牛面前不值得一提吧,毕竟和那些短短的十几天就雅思7.5啊,8分的大牛不是一个level的。但是,我自己考的时候就对阅读很有感觉,很希望将我的方法介绍给大家。而且,我也就复习了大概1个半月吧,零零散散的,应该短期内提分的方法还是可行的。PO出这个帖子,也是希望给我的申请季增添一丝RP吧,希望offer快点来。
我就以雅思阅读9,Test4,Reading Passage1讲居里夫人那篇文章的前三段来说吧(page87) 贴出原文哈~ The Life and Work of Marie Curie
Marie Curie is probably the most famous woman scientist who has ever live. Born Maria Sklodowska in Poland in 1867, she is famous for her work on radioactivity,and was twice a winner of the Nobel Prize. With her husband, Pierre Curie, and Henri Becquerel, she was awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics , and was then sole winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. From childhood, Marie was remarkable for he prodigious memory,and at the age of 16 won a gold medal on completion of her secondary education. Because her father lost his savings through bad investment, she then had to take work as a teacher.From her earnings she was able to finance her sister Bronia’s medical studies in Paris, on the understanding that Bronia would, in turn, later help her to get an education. In 1891 this promise was fulfilled and Marie went to Paris and began to study at the Sorbonne(the university of Paris). She often worked far into the night and lived on little more than bread and butter and tea. She came first in the examination in the physical sciences in 1893, and in 1894 was placed second in the examination in mathematical sciences. It was not until the spring of that year that she was introduced to Pierre Curie. 下面来说一下做题,要讲究个步骤吧~~~ 第一步,拿到一篇文章,第一件事肯定是去看题目。这时候,最重要的就是名词啦,最起码要知道这是讲的一个什么东西呢?那么这篇文章最闪的词就是居里夫人啦,可以推测出来这是一篇传记啦,讲她的生平之类。 第二步就是去看题型啦。这篇文章第一种是判断正误题,第二种是填单词的题目,只有这两种。这里我要提一个类似不成文的规则吧,就是两种题型之间,内部有序,但是彼此无序。怎么理解呢?就是,1-6号题是按照顺序对应文章的内容出的,但是第7题是在第6题的后面呢,还是第5题呢,是待定的。那么,我们就应该抓第1和第7题的关键词去定位啦。 第三步就是定位。
先第一题吧~~ Marie Curie’s husband was a joint winner of both Marie’s Nobel Prizes. 雅思阅读是考察快速能力的一种考试,所以我们读文章应该有一种能力就是速读。这就考察我们快速抓到关键点和关键句的能力啦。带着关键词去定位就是最好的效果啦。何为定位词呢?比如,特殊的名词,大写了,数字,很奇怪的东西,等等等等。
这句话如果你判断Marie Curie是关键词,那么你就错了。为什么呢?因为你要知道,题目就是讲她的,那么通篇文章都是说她。你如果带着这个词去定位,你就会哭死,不信可以去试试喔~
那么如何选择呢?这里我要提到一个考点词的概念。 这句话如果仔细读,你会发现有两个单词意思是相同的,一个是joint一个是both,很明显的同义词,那么这句话的出题点一定是从这俩词入手了。定位词呢,我们可以选择,husband和诺贝尔奖。懂了不?
回到原文,我们可以直接定位第一段这句话:With her husband, Pierre Curie, and Henri Becquerel, she was awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics , and was then sole winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. 仔细读,你会发现一个很闪的词“SOLE”,明白了不?这个词就是对着我们刚刚说过的考点词出的。
第二题喽~ Marie Became interested in science when she was a child. 定位?这句话我们可以用science和child定位,这两个词应该没有不认识的吧,也记得住。 对应原文哪呢? 第二段一开始有没有很熟悉?From childhood仔细读就会知道,这道题跟interst完全无关
第三题喽~ Marie was able to attend the Sorbonne because of her sister's financial contribution. 定位?(插一句话,我当了一段时间的考研英语家教,所以对一个词组相当敏感---financial contribution,现在看来考研和雅思都是一样的啊。) 这句话有大写定位词Sorbonne,这个词就属于我们说的特殊词了,你就可以记成“大S”对应原文找。还可以记得sister就好啦~~我觉得大家找定位词一定要简单的,别搞得特别复杂什么词组啊,划来划去的,考试哪有这么多时间呢? 对应原文哪呢?From her earnings she was able to finance her sister Bronia’s medical studies in Paris, on the understanding that Bronia would, in turn, later help her to get an education.In 1891 this promise was fulfilled and Marie went to Paris and began to study at the Sorbonne(the university of Paris). 如果只看二段最后这句话,in turn,你可能会不放心到底赞助了没呢?当你看到第三段一开始就会美了吧,fulfilled啦~~~
简单讲这些吧,不知道对大家的雅思阅读理解和学习有没有帮助呢? 当初听了刘洪波老师的阅读公开课以后,发现原来阅读可以这么学。或许文中的很多观点是来自老师的看法,但是有一些研究还是来自我个人啦。
总结一下吧,我觉得雅思考试需要的,不一定是你多高的英语水平,而是要懂这个考试。当你了解,掌握适当的技巧,再加上自己的能力以后,一定会取得好的分数吧。总分7确实不算高,只是当时没时间再考而且觉得自己申请学校而言,这个分数足够了。希望给看到这篇文章的人一点正确的帮助吧~~~如果有需要,我再分享,也祝我申请季顺利哦
