第一个题:Employees whose values match those of their employers are more likely to
首先我们可以先把题目中的定位词画下来,values and match,其中match是契合和一致的意思,通过这两个定位词,我们可以定位到文章的第二段Research shoes that the fit between an employee's values and a company's values makes a difference to what contribution they make and whether, two years after they join, they are still at the company.
这句话的意思是研究表明,员工和公司的价值观如果契合的话,首先会对雇员做出的贡献,其次对于两年之后,员工的忠诚度产生很大影响,这个不难选择,still at the company 和选项G的remain in their jobs意思贴近。
第二题:At times of change, people tend to
首先通过定位词change,我们很同意定位到原文的第四段:When things change, we are hard-wired to play it safe. 这句话的意思是当事情发生变化的时候,我们会本能的保持安全。也就是保守的意思,通过比较分析,不难发现E项avoid risk和原文的safe意思相同。
第三题:If people are aware of what they might lose, they will often
首先通过定位词lose我们可以定位到在文章的第四段:Managers should therefore adopt an approach that appears counter-intuitive they should explain what stands to be lost if the company fails to seize a particular opportunity.Studies show that we invariably take more gambles when threatened with a loss than when offered a reward. 这句话的意思是研究表明我们一定会采取赌博的行动,当被威胁会失去东西的时候。不难发现里面的gamble这个单词相比其他单词难度系数会大一些,成为了这个题出题的意义所在,和选项A的chances近义词替换。
第四题:People working under a dominant boss are liable to
首先通过定位词dominant boss定位到文章倒数第三段。Authority does not have to inhibit innovation but it often does. The tendency of team members to opt out of team responsibilities that are properly theirs. 这句话的意思是告诉大家一个贬义的方向,我们再做句子配对题的时候,不一定要找到文章的单词对应题目中的考点词,尤其是在考试那么短的时间内,我们可以速度找到定位词所在的那句话甚至是那一段,捕捉一些带有感情色彩的单词,所以不难选出选项F ignore their duties.
通过以上四个题目的分析,同学们是不是发现句子配对题,第一步定位非常重要,这样可以保证自己所看所分析的句子是有意义的,不然会答非所问,如果课下自己练习中发现有错的,不要灰心,多总结分析自己为什么做错了,是定位问题还是考点词没有找到呢?

雅思阅读材料大集合:中美第一夫人大对比
They share plenty of common ground, even beyond the stylish outfits and the proximity to power. Both grew up in modest circumstances, and both have daughters. They're nearly the same age.
据《卫报》报道,两位第一夫人在时髦的着装和巨大的影响力之外,还有很多相同之处。她们都在平凡的环境中成长,都有女儿,还差不多同龄。
Yet when Michelle Obama, 50, arrives in China on Thursday to meet her 51-year-old Chinese counterpart Peng Liyuan, the two will also make a fascinating study in contrasts. If Obama's narrative is one of resilience, Peng's is one of restraint.
但是,3月20日50岁的米歇尔·奥巴马到达中国会见51岁的,还是让人忍不住做一个有趣的对比研究。如果用善于应变来形容米歇尔,的关键词则应该是克制。
Obama will arrive in Beijing with her daughters Sasha and Malia, and her mother Marian Robinson, for a week of sightseeing and speeches about people-to-people exchange. Peng will accompany her during a visit to a Beijing school, a dinner and a performance. Obama will address American and Chinese students at the prestigious Peking University and then head south for a whirlwind tour through the cities of Xi'an and Chengdu.
米歇尔将带着两个女儿及母亲访华,进行一周的观光,做些交流性的讲话。将会陪同她参观北京的一所学校,一起吃晚餐,看演出。米歇尔将在著名的北京大学为中美学子演讲,然后去西安和成都参观。
When Obama's predecessors Laura Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton visited China during their husbands' tenures, they grilled its leadership on difficult political topics such as human rights. Obama plans to focus on education and cultural exchange, Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, told reporters on Monday.
战略沟通的国家安全顾问代理说,前两任美国第一夫人劳拉·布什和希拉里·罗德海姆·克林顿访华时,她们会提到一些政治问题,比如人权。而米歇尔则要着重教育和文化交流。
Yet Obama's personal narrative – one of "someone [from] a disadvantaged economic background from a minority group" making it to the top – would send a powerful message on its own, Rhodes said. "That alone I think speaks to things like respect for human rights that are interwoven into the DNA of the US."
但是他还说道,米歇尔的个人经历——从一个贫困的黑人女孩奋斗为美国上流社会的顶尖人物——将会传递强大的能量,本身就能说明尊重人权根植于美国的基因里等等。
Peng scaled the heights of fame long before her husband, President Xi Jinping. She spent two decades as a nationally renowned folksinger, known for belting out patriotic tunes on elaborate television specials. She began to dodge the limelight in 2007, to give precedence to Xi's political career.
在习近平主席出名前便享有盛名。二十多年来都是中国知名的民俗歌唱家,经常在著名电视节目上演唱。2007年以后,为了丈夫的政治生涯,她渐渐淡出人们的视线。
Last March, Peng sent shockwaves through Chinese social media when she appeared with Xi in Moscow wearing a sharp trench coat and handbag.
去年3月,在和习近平主席出访莫斯科的公开露面中,她优雅的着装和搭配立刻在中国收到社交媒体的热捧。
One fan – a 34-year-old woman named Li who started a popular Peng Liyuan fan group online – described her hero as humble, friendly, and glamorous.
雅思阅读材料大集合:父亲年龄大孩子长得丑?
研究发现,父亲年龄大的孩子相貌也较丑,但是这些丑孩子的寿命却会比其他人长。
研究指出,45岁以上的男人生出的孩子患自闭症和精神疾病的风险比其他孩子更高。父亲年龄越大,基因突变的概率也会成倍增加。
相比之下,母亲遗传给孩子的基因最多只会发生15个突变,不管母亲年龄多大。
科学家称,22岁的父亲生出的孩子比40岁的父亲生出的孩子相貌水平要高出5%到10%。
Older fathers have uglier children, researchers have claimed after linking age to genetic mutations.
The finding comes weeks after leading scientists reported children born to men over the age of 45 run a higher risk of having autism and psychiatric disorders.
With age, sperm-producing cells do not copy a man's DNA as effectively, leading to genetic mutations.
Martin Fielder, an anthropologist at Vienna University, told the Sunday Times: 'Every 16 years the mutation rate doubles. Other researchers found 25 mutations per sperm in a 20-year-old, but at age 40 it is 65 mutations. By 56, it doubles again.
'The effect is very visible - someone born to a father of 22 is already 5-10 per cent more attractive than those with a 40-year-old father and the difference grows with the age gap.'
In contrast, women pass on a maximum of 15 mutations to their baby, regardless of age, according to the study published in the journal Nature.
Surveying a group of six men and six women, researchers showed them each 4,018 photographs of 18-20-year-old men and 4,416 of women the same age, and asked to rate their attractiveness.
Those with older fathers were consistently rated less attractive.
However, the offspring of older men, though less attractive, are likely to outlive their peers with younger fathers, it is claimed.
Professor Lee Smith, a geneticist at Edinburgh University, told the Sunday Times other research found such children have longer telomeres - the caps on the end of chromosomes - which are associated with longer life.
But the mounting research connecting parents' age with autism is cause for concern, experts warn.
Autism is an umbrella term for a range of developmental disorders that have a lifelong effect on someone’s ability to interact socially and communicate.
In the UK, around one in 100 adults is thought to be affected by autism, mostly men, caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Researchers said men should be advised about the potential problems in order to help their personal decision-making when it came to having fathering children at older ages.
They warned that advancing paternal age posed a risk of ‘numerous public health and societal problems’.
Among well-known older dads are Simon Cowell, 54, whose son was born earlier this month, and comedian Frank Skinner whose first child was born in 2012 when he was 55.
