雅思考试阅读真题及答案
The Afghan army says at least ten members of the Taliban have been beheaded by rival militants from the Islamic State group in the east of the country. The beheadings followed weeks of fierce fightings between the two groups. Mark Lobell reports from Kabul.
“The revelations emerged in a secret memo from the Afghan army’s 201th Col mistakenly sent to the media on Wednesday. The document says that a Taliban attack on a government-held area in the remote action district close to the border with Pakistan was repelled by the army. Then ten fleeing insurgents were captured by Islamic State militants and beheaded. This is the first known beheadings of Taliban members by Islamic State linked fighters who have reportedly been trying to recruit soldiers from the Taliban.”
South African police have launched a preliminary investigation into allegations that the country’s football association paid a $10 million bribe to FIFA officials to host the 2023 World Cup. The claim emerged as part of a corruption scandal that engulfed FIFA. South Africa’s Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene said he had seen no indication of financial wrong doing.
“We were very vigorous and then all the available information that we save before those instructions were intensely interrogated and I can attest that none of such evidence ever surfaced in those meetings.”
Britain’s Sports Minister John Whittingdale says there’s a strong case for rerunning the bids to host the World Cup in 2023 and 2023 if there’s evidence of corruption. FIFA awarded the tournaments to Russia and Qatar.
The Chinese authorities say they are planning to right the cruise ship that overturned in the Yangtze River on Monday. More than 450 people on board, but only 14 are known to have survived. From Jianli on the Yangtze River, John Sudworth reports.
“The divers have been battling near 0 visibility and serious risks in trying to search ship’s 150 compartments. The body recovery work had begun to gather pace after holes were cut into the Eastern Star’s exposed upturned hull allowing workers to enter from above, but it now seems the engineers have decided the best option is to raise the 4-decked cruise ship out of the water. Hooks have been well in the place and the net has been stretched around the entire structure.”
Google has apologized to the India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi after his photo appeared in Internet search results for the world’s top ten criminals. Here"s Anberison at Rajkot.
"Google said the way images were described on the Internet could lead to surprising results to specific queries and they were not reflective of the opinions of the company. Google’s apology came after many Indian politicians and commentators expressed concern on social media. Despite the company’s apology, an image search for the world’s top ten criminals still shows pictures of Mr Modi alongside the wanted militants, murders and dictators."
马里恩·马歇尔为你播报BBC新闻。
阿富汗军方称至少有10名人员在该国东部被国敌对武装分子砍头,此前两组织经历了数周的激烈战斗。马克·罗文在喀布尔报道。
“周三阿富汗军方的秘密备忘录被错误地发给媒体,于是这件事就曝光了。文件称对巴基斯坦边境附近一个被控制的偏远地区进行袭击,并遭到军方的反击,然后10名逃跑的叛军被国武装分子逮捕并砍头。这是目前所知的首个成员被国相关武装分子砍头的事件,据悉国一直希望从中招募成员。”
对于所谓南非足协向国际足联行贿1000万美元以换取2023世界杯举办权的指控,南非警方已经展开初步调查。该指控涉及有关国际足联的****丑闻,南非财长恩兰拉·内内称他没有见到任何迹象表明存在财务问题。
“我们非常认真地审查了所有可以获得的之前保存的信息,我可作证这些会议上不存在此类证据。”
英国体育大臣约翰·惠廷德尔称,如果有证据表明存在****,那么就有足够理由对2023年和2023年的世界杯举办权进行重新安排。国际足联将举办权分别授予俄罗斯和卡塔尔。
中国官方称准备将周一在长江倾翻的渡轮扶正,当时有450多人在船上,但只有14人幸存。约翰·苏德沃斯在长江边上的监利县报道。
“潜水员们一直在可见度接近零的环境下冒着危险搜索这艘船上的150个船舱,在东方之星船露出水面的倾翻船体上凿洞后,救援人员得以从上面进入船内,这样搜索尸体的工作就开始加快。但现在看来工程师们认为最佳办法是将这个4层渡轮举出水面,挂钩已经安置就位,网已经在整个船体上布置好。”
由于印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪的图片出现在谷歌引擎的世界十大罪犯搜索结果之中,因此谷歌向莫迪道歉。安伯利森在拉杰科德报道。
“谷歌称,这些图片在互联网上被描述的方式可能导致查询中出现令人吃惊的结果,并非谷歌故意所为。就在谷歌道歉之前,很多印度政客和评论员在社交媒体上表示了担忧,尽管谷歌已经道歉,最世界十大罪犯进行图片搜索的结果仍显示莫迪出现在被通缉的武装分子、谋杀犯和者之列。”

雅思阅读读文章技巧
一、单词词义(meaning)上的理解
这个理解层面是最基础的(the most basic)。因为要读懂一篇文章在说什么,自然要知道每句话的意思,但是每句话意思的理解(understanding)又是建立在每个单词的理解上。所以我们说要做好阅读,词汇量一直都是强调的重点(importance)。精读雅思阅读文章,第一步就是把文章中的生词都解决掉。换句话说,就是利用字典(dictionary)把文章中不认识的单词都查出来。我们以剑4上TEST1的PASSAGE1这篇文章为例(example)。这篇文章是讲一个调查研究(investigation)关于孩子们对热带雨林的了解状况。文章的第一句话Adults and children are frequently confronted with statements about the alarming rate of loss of tropical rainforests. 这句话中常见的不认识的单词可能有confronted, statements, alarming 和tropical rainforests. 所以要理解句子,我们就要把这几个单词的意思在字典中查找出来。Confront是指面临、遭遇,statement是指声明、陈述,alarming是指令人担忧的,令人震惊的,tropical rainforest是指热带雨林。查找完这些词的意思仅是第一步,因为光是把意思查找出来记忆(to memorize)并不深刻,所以建议(to suggest)大家可以准备一本单词本,专门记录(to record)文章中不认识的单词。但是记录下来还没有完成文章词义的理解,我们还要去具体分析(analyze)一下这些词,尤其是动词(verb),要注意查找其同义词和反义词(opposite)。例如confront 这个词是一个动词,它的同义词有encounter, 意思都有遭遇,对抗的意思,但是区别有encounter常用于军事方面(army)。Statement是一个名词(noun),它是state加ment,由动词state变成名词,其同义词有announcement、declaration等。而动词state除了有声明、陈述的意思以外,还有作为名词州(state)、国家(country)以及形容词国家的,国有的,正式的等含义(meaning)。而alarming则是由动词alarm加上ing变成形容词,alarm的意思是恐吓、警告,同时也有名词意义为警报、恐慌。最后tropical的意思是热带的,tropical rainforest为热带雨林,那么可以引申出其他的类似(similar)词汇,例如温带就是temperate zone, 寒带就是frigid zone,极地就是polar region。
从一个词汇可以引申出一系列(a series of)的词汇,尤其是同义词,这在以后的阅读理解上也是非常有帮助的(helpful),因为雅思阅读很多时候都是在考察学生的 paraphrasing同义转换的能力(ability)。所以如果在精读词汇的时候有意识的(conscious)去学习和认识同义词,对阅读能力的提高(improvement)大有裨益。当然在精读的单词挑选上我们也有一定的原则(rule),并不是所有的单词都值得去精读。主要挑选的单词最好是具有普遍(general)含义的动词、形容词,其次是副词和名词。而那些比较难比较偏的名词是不适合精读的,基本上以认知为主就可以。
二、句子的分析和理解(understanding)
句子的分析和理解最好是结合题目来做。因为之前已经做过题目也对过答案,因此对于答案与文章对应的(correspondent)句子应该有所了解,那么分析起来就更具有针对性。同样以上文提到的文章为例。这篇文章的第四题是一道判断题(judgment),题目为The fact that children’s ideas about science form part of a larger framework of ideas means that it is easier to change them. 题目的意思是孩子们关于科学的观点是融合在一个比较大的想法框架中的,这个事实意味着如果要改变孩子们的观点也还是相对容易的。这道题目在文章中对对应的相关句子是These misconceptions do not remain isolated but become incorporated into a multifaceted, but organized, conceptual framework, making it and the component ideas, some of which are erroneous, more robust but also accessible to modification. 这句话是一句难句(a difficult sentence),中间有不少的插入成分来影响(influence)我们对句子的理解,但是如果我们从句子主干开始分析,一步一步,就能把整个脉络梳理清楚。这句话的主语是 misconceptions, 这些错误的观点或想法,然后用了一个not….but…的结构(structure),告示我们这种错误(mistake)的观点不会是一直孤立的(isolated),而是会合并到一个框架体系(system)中,framework之前的multifaceted, but organized, conceptual都是修饰这个framework的特征的(characteristic),也就是这个框架体系是多方面的,有序的以及有概念(concept)系统的。接下来的句子则要理解2个代词所指代的意义,一个是making it 中的it, 还有一个是some of which 中的which. It 指的是一个单数名词(single noun)概念,而它之前就一个单数名词,就是framework, 而which 前离它最近的名词是ideas,所以它所指代的就是component ideas. 搞清楚了这2个代词所指代的内容,后面半句话也就容易理解了,意思是可以使这个概念体系及构成这个体系的思想(mind)——其中一部分是错误的——更加健全,同时也更加容易得到修正(revised)。从这个分析上来看,题目的意思和文章相关句子的意思一致,所以判断题目是TRUE,正确的。因此要分析清楚雅思阅读文章的句子结构,最有效的方法还是从句子的主干着手,然后再分析其修饰成分(mortified),然后再用中文的思路去组织句意。当然重点分析的句子还是以与题目相关的句子为主,有些比较简单的句子就不需要花太多时间(too much time)。
三、文章宏观结构上的分析(analysis)
这一点是一个更高程度的精读要求(requirement),是对基础比较好的学生来说应该去学会的一种精读方法(way)。雅思阅读文章大多是学术类气息浓厚的文章,因此多以说明文和议论文为主,而内容上也多关于调查研究报告,实验结果,课题研究以及其他自然(nature)原理现象说明的内容。所以文章结构很多会有类似(similar)。如果能分析出相似题材的文章结构(essay structure),那么对做目前来说大家都头疼的段落细节配对题(matching)是有很大的帮助的。同样以雨林那篇文章为例。这篇文章是比较典型的(typical)调查研究报告类说明文,文章的结构脉络比较清晰(clear)。在经过上面两步骤的精读后,对文章的内容理解应该已经不成问题,现在要做的就是去掉外皮,将其骨骼提炼出来。文章分为11个小段落(paragraph),前3段是调查研究的背景(background)介绍,后面的4到9段介绍了调查的具体内容,也就是5个开放式问题孩子们给出的答案及分析,最后2段进行了总结(summary)和对接下来调查的预期(prediction)。所以文章的总体结构和调查研究报告类文章是类似的,背景介绍——调查具体内容结果——总结51ielts预测,以后如果遇到类似的调查研究报告类文章最有可能的(impossible)行文结构也是这样,那么如果出了相关的段落细节配对题就可以利用文章结构快速定位(locate)相关的段落然后再进行选择,有了正确的范围(scope),那么正确率也就大大提高了。
雅思考试阅读题型技巧分类
1.匹配题(MATCHING TASKS)。如给每段文章配标题。这要求同学们又比较强的总结判断能力。
2.多重选择(MALTIPLE-CHOICE TASKS)。如给出A,B,C三个答案, 选择正确答案。此类题型往往是考细节,所以大家要对本段的细节留心。基本上来说,这类题型的答案在文中会有比较规律平等的排布。
3.辨别正误(True / FALSE/TASKS)。
该题型还涉及到:(NOT GIVEN / NOT MENTIONED)没有提到,
有时还会出现下列提法:
ACCURAT / INACCURAT 精确/不精确
SUPPORTED / CONTRADICTED 一致/不一致
CORRECT / INCORRECT 正确与不正确
这类题型相对来说比较难,大家一定要注意忠于原文,跟原文意思完全一致的为正确,相反的为错误,原文中没有给出明确态度的为没有提到。大家要特别警惕那些跟原文只有一两个单词误差的选项,往往都是陷阱所在。跟原文一致的答案往往通过另一种句式或者措词表达出来。
4.填空(GAPFILL)。有时要根据文章内容选择词或短语填空,有时会给出一些词或短语进行填空。其实也要根据文章内容来填空,定位的能力非常重要。有时候也需要作出一些判断确定最后的答案。
5.完成句子(SENTENCE COMPLETION TASKS)。即先给出句子的一部分,未给出部分在文章中找出,或者给出2-3个答案,由你选择一个。这种题型较难,宜多加练习。
6.完成图表、示意图(TABLE、CHART OR DIAGRAM COMPLETION)。 这部分题型是要根据文章所给出的信息,将图表内缺失的内容(或数据)填补出来,大家需要掌握的是定位的能力,相对来说还是比较容易掌握的。
7.回答问题(SHORT-ANSWER QUESTION TASKS)。回答问题在IELTS阅读考试中属于较易回答的题型,通常在考试的前一部分出现。
对于上述几种雅思阅读题型,在答题时要采用不同的办法灵活处理。例如:
在回答完成句子这类题时,就要花一点时间仔细查看文章中的有关部分,根据要求,填写稳重给出的词,或者总结出符合要求的答案。
在回答匹配题时,就要在文章中快速找出关键词或短语,并围绕这些词或短语附近找出答案。
在回答填空题时,就要通读文章内容,按顺序回答问题。根据文章中所给单词或文章并利用词性找出答案,有时候由于字数,可能会要求大家稍微改变一下词性。
三:[雅思题库]考雅思需要买什么资料最好
想要考雅思,但是需要买什么资料才是最好的呢为此百分网小编为大家推荐一些考雅思的资料。
考雅思的复习资料
第一梯队(必买):
真题:剑桥4-9、新东方真题精讲4-9
点评:因为做题必须要以真题为基准,所以剑桥4-9是必备的。1-3题太老所以忽略(给刚刚入烤鸭炉的鲜肉烤鸭们解释一下)。
阅读:《雅思阅读真经总纲》—— 刘洪波、《雅思阅读真经5》—— 刘洪波、《剑桥雅思阅读考点词真经(剑9版)》—— 刘洪波
点评:刘洪波老师的同义替换理论的确受益匪浅,这三本书连贯性很好,所以希望三本都入。在真经理论在真经5的整本练习后熟烂于心,再进行剑桥的阅读比较好。
听力:《雅思王听力真题语料库》 —— 王陆
口语:无
点评:口语每四个月一边题库,市面上还没有什么正式出版的书可以更新这么快,所以买口语书还不如报口语班来的实际。
写作:《雅思写作真经总纲》—— 刘洪波、《顾家北手把手教你雅思写作》—— 顾家北
点评:两本书各有千秋。刘洪波的大作文写作体系理论比较好入门,个人认为相对于顾家北的ABC理论而言新手更容易接受。但该书对于小作文的写法和语法其实是不全的,顾家北的书对于小作文的写法有特别好的解释。回到大作文,不是说顾家北的书大作文的部分不好,而是思维逻辑要求其实较高。所以小作文必须看顾家北的,而对于大作文的理论,个人建议目标分数如果7分以下选择刘洪波的,若7分及以上选择顾家北的。
第二梯队
(有多余精力资金更高目标分数的买):
阅读:《7+阅读机经》、《九分达人系列》—— 王毅
点评:放在第二梯队是因为很多人其实在考试前连剑桥都做不完的懒惰,所以不想让你们花冤枉钱。我说过,真题做一次少一次,做第二次那是回忆。所以说在做完剑桥之后做7+阅读机经是很好的。王毅的九分达抵类似,错误相对少一点。所以7+出版时间比较新、九分达人错误少。只是告诉大家:市面上机经很多,之所以推荐这个是因为这个机经是用来做的而不是背诵的,而且错误较少。
听力:《雅思王听力真题速成》—— 王陆、《黑眼睛 IELTS考试技能训练教程》—— 李亚宾
点评:这本书是给目标7.5+分准备的,在语料库准备完觉得还有精力时间后再考虑此书。因为该书的使用投入时间会是语料库的三倍甚至更多;而李亚宾的黑眼睛,这书很好,拆解雅思听力真题各部分且超高还原性。之所以放在第二梯队是因为我觉得听力的准备已经足够充分了,如果你某一个特殊题型真的是和其他题型比差的太多,再来买也好。但一般情况下,其实不必购买,放在第三梯队也可。
写作:无
口语:无
词汇: 《雅思词汇胜经》—— 孙涛 梅晗、《IELTS核心词汇活用》—— 王道英
点评:如果你需要单词书的话,首选词汇胜经,词汇活用其次。我有7本单词书(好多是别人给的),背过五本,单词这东西你有差不多的量,剩下的就是单科技巧问题了。所以背雅思单词请适可而止,不要学我欺骗自己,觉得单词背了好多好像自己雅思分数就提高了一样。当然,在这两本单词书之前你最好先把The Longman Defining Vocabulary弄弄明白,百度一下就会有,朗文释义词汇。
考雅思的复习方法
I. 听力:
有同学曾经问过这样的问题:"老师,您是怎么练听力记单词的呢"
不同于以往熟悉的单项选择题,在雅思听力考试中,很多时候是需要我们填写所听到的单词的。复习听力,对这些常考单词的总结是非常有必要的。那么在雅思听力考试中该如何归纳听力的单词库呢
这里介绍一种方法,如果同学们能把它贯彻下去,你们的听力水平将不仅仅局限于雅思6分或者7分的水平,训练一段时间,你的听力将有一个非常大的飞跃。这个方法就是DICTATION。所谓DICTATION,即所听即所写。有些老师会跟同学们说:"你要买这个书,买那个书。多听听多做练习就听懂了。"可很多人就是听不懂。我们这样想,如果有个老外天天在你旁边说一种你听不懂的语言,没人给你翻译,你就是听10年也还是听不懂啊。所以,又到了发挥我们剑4-剑7的功能的时候了。其实不多,你每天只听一个section,听的同时,你要做一件事,不是做题,而是做听写,把你听到的内容一字不落地写下来。
对于练习听力用dictation的方法,听一句写一句或者听一篇一起写都可以,只是后者的话,我个人觉得难度更大。听一句,听的时候尽量能写多少写多少,把没写出来的单词空出来。然后再听一遍这个句子,再写,再听再写,直到怎么听也写不出来了为止。就这样,把整篇文章都听写下来。文章来源就用剑4-6的就可以了,剑7可以留到最后一个月做模拟题用。
听写完整篇文章以后,再与书后面的听力原文对照,把你写错的地方用红笔标出来,然后分析错误原因并分类总结--哪些是你听懂了也认识,却拼写错了的词;哪些是因为自己发音不对,本来认识但没听出来的词;哪些是你根本就不认识,也没听说过的单词。
把这些单词都一一挑出来,仔细背诵。其实听力中并不会出现特别难的单词,当你掌握了单词正确的发音和拼写后,对于雅思口语和写作也都是很有帮助的。
那些经常一拼就错的,或者答案中要求填写的单词却拼写错误的,都是最值得注意的单词。这些单词积少成多,也就是你听力的单词库了,这样就可以避免在考试中出现相同的错误了。
II. 阅读:
对于阅读词汇,你一定要有一个适合自己词汇量的词库。如果想拿雅思考试高分,剑4-剑7这4本书一定要精读。我个人觉得,你只要有了这4本剑桥雅思真题,其他的任何辅导书都不需要买了。因为这几本书里的题都是雅思考试真题,它的重要性不亚于备战高考(论坛)备战四六级时必然要做到的历年真题。这些文章与真实考试的难易性几乎是一样的,避免了同学们平时做其他书里的文章时,文章可能比真实的考试复杂或者简单。
所谓阅读的单词库,也就是你要把从剑4-剑7的48篇文章里的所有生单词都挑出来抄在一个本子上。这个本子的结构应该是:英文在最左边的位置,中文在最右边;中间则要空下来写"提示",提示这个字"怎么背"。背单字的方法依每个字汇的不同,可能是依据字根、谐音、形状、例句等。每天至少翻上5遍,核心思想就是"短时间多次重复"。
很多考生在背词过程中出现信心崩溃从而无法继续的现象,其实这是因为遗忘现象严重,归根结底就是没有在短时间内进行单词重复这项工作。打个日常生活中的比方,一个人买了新的手机号码之后往往无需刻意记忆,当他多次被人询问新电话号码之后,他会自然而然地将其记住,对于背单词也是一样的道理。同时,要牢记一句话:好记性不如烂笔头。在看的时候在旁边动笔写写,会加深你的记忆。
对于阅读单词,不需要你学会拼写,只要看到时知道是什么意思就可以了。而且,雅思考试中的高频词是会反复出现的,不管是在什么题材中的文章中。所以我们需要加强对高频词汇,尤其是动词和形容词的掌握,因为这两类词是最能体现作者的观点和态度的。
考雅思的参考作文
The three bar charts show average years of schooling, numbers of scientists and technicians, and research and development spending in developing and developed countries. Figures are given for 1980 and 1990.
It is clear from the charts that the figures for developed countries are much higher than those for developing nations. Also, the charts show an overall increase in participation in education and science from 1980 to 1990.
People in developing nations attended school for an average of around 3 years, with only a slight increase in years of schooling from 1980 to 1990. On the other hand, the figure for industrialised countries rose from nearly 9 years of schooling in 1980 to nearly 11 years in 1990.
From 1980 to 1990, the number of scientists and technicians in industrialised countries almost doubled to about 70 per 1000 people. Spending on research and development also saw rapid growth in these countries, reaching $350 billion in 1990. By contrast, the number of science workers in developing countries remained below 20 per 1000 people, and research spending fell from about $50 billion to only $25 billion.
