雅思阅读考试一定要花时间看题目

腾宇分享

  不少同学拿到卷子或者翻开书本的时候,就会产生一种分秒必争的心理,想要马上投入到阅读和做题之中去。想要争取时间、利用时间这是好事,但是有一种更好的方法能够更佳利用时间,那就是分析题干。下面是小编给大家带来的雅思阅读考试一定要花时间看题目,希望能帮到大家!

  雅思阅读考试一定要花时间看题目

  我在我的课堂上经常会告诉同学们,一定要多看题干,在题干上花的一分钟,能够节省5分钟盲目阅读的时间。我们来看几个题目,题干中隐含了什么样的暗示。

  剑4-95页,24-27题的Summary题,其中第25,26题在同一句话中:

  The writer describes archeology as both a ___25__ and a ___26___。

  从这两个空的前后,其他的词语都不用看,单单看到了两个空白处的前面都有一个冠词a,就知道这两个空白处要填的是单数名词。其中,另一个更好的暗示是,both…and…这样的句型,这么一个并列结构必定有相应的并列结构词出现在原文中,要么也是both…and…,要么是and,要么是as well as,必定如此。

  于是去题干中指定的段落中寻找,就只能找到一处拥有并列结构,并且拥有两个单数名词:

  Since the aim of archeology is the understanding of humankind, it is a humanistic study, and since it deals with the human past, it is a historical discipline。

  所以,要填进去的答案便是这两个名词:humanistic study, historical discipline

  再来看一下接下来的第27题:

  The writer compares their style of working to that of a ___27__。

  很多同学分析出这个空白处要填的是一个单数名词,便停止了继续分析。但是,其实里面还有进一步可以挖掘的潜在暗示。请看:

  The writer COMPARES their style of working TO that of a XXX. 请留意我用大写强调的compare … to …,这是一个作比喻的句型,所以比较的双方应该是完全对等的。这样一来,句子中可以看到比喻的前者叫做their style of working,“他们的工作方式”,比喻的后者叫做that of a XXX,“XXX的工作方式”(that of 代指的就是style of working),这么一来,XXX这个词就应该和their一样,是指的一类人。所以直接在题干所指定的段落中寻找一类人的词语,能找到的就是句子“the practice of the archeologist is rather like that of a scientist”中的scientist。所以scientist就是这个题的答案。

  从上面两个很小的例子可以看出,如果我们多花1分钟的时间来分析题干,得到的暗示会比我们用5分钟在书页上扫描要有用很多。所以千万不要认为读题是浪费时间,希望大家都能培养出一个仔细分析题干的好习惯,达到更高更好的做题速率和精确率。

  Family meals 'boost child fruit and vegetable intake'

  Eating meals as a family improves children's eating habits - even if it only happens once or twice a week, UK researchers suggest.

  Children learn eating habits from family meals, say researchers

  It is recommended children eat five portions of fruit and vegetables per day - about 400g.

  The Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health study found those who always ate together achieved this - but those who only did sometimes came close.

  Watching parents and siblings eat teaches good habits, experts said.

  Parental example

  This study looked at just under 2,400 children at 52 primary schools in south London.

  Parents and fieldworkers compiled food diaries at school and at home, ticking off all the foods and drinks a child had in one 24-hour period.

  Parents were also asked questions about their attitudes to fruit and vegetables, such as "On average, how many nights a week does your family eat at a table?" and "Do you cut up fruit and vegetables for your child to eat?"

  The study found 656 families said they always ate meals together at a table, 768 sometimes did, while 92 families never did so.

  Children in the "always" group ate five portions of fruit and vegetables, compared with 4.6 in the "sometimes" group and 3.3 in the "never".

  That equates to the always group eating 125g more fruit and veg, and the sometimes group eating 95g more a day than the never group.

  Seeing parents eat fruit and vegetables - and cutting up portions for children both boosted their intake.

  'Future habits'

  The researchers say that, while this study gives a picture of eating habits on one day, it was able to investigate the diets of a large, diverse population.

  Meaghan Christian, who conducted the study as part of her PhD, said: "Modern life often prevents the whole family from sitting round the dinner table, but this research shows that even just Sunday lunch round the table can help improve the diets of our families."

  She added: "We spend a lot of time looking at interventions at school. But this is showing how important parents are in terms of fruit and vegetable consumption."

  And Prof Janet Cade, of the University of Leeds' school of food science and nutrition, who supervised the study, said: "Watching the way their parents or siblings eat and the different types of food they eat is pivotal in creating children's own food habits and preferences."

  She added: "Since dietary habits are established in childhood, the importance of promoting the family meal needs to be more prominent in public health campaigns."

  Azmina Govindji, of the British Dietetic Association, said: "Eating habits developed in childhood die hard, and eating at a table with the family instead of in front of the TV helps reduce chances of mindless eating, which can increase the likelihood of obesity.

  "This study reinforces the view that children learn more from what we do than what we say, so it's the role modelling that helps shape their future habits."

  Ms Govindji, a practising dietitian, added: "If children are eating better in childhood, they are more likely to make healthier choices in adult life - and since food directly impacts risks of conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes, eating together as a family seems like a small price to pay."
