摘要:关于速读,就是在较短的时间内快读抓住雅思阅读文章的主旨大意,甚至能快速反映出雅思阅读的出题点和出题角度。从做题的角度来说,雅思阅读真题并不难,只要理解雅思阅读文章的观点即可。具体雅思阅读操作如下:

如果你也是雅思阅读做题速度上不去,那就跟着小站雅思君一起来做雅思阅读速读训练吧。雅思阅读备考复习过程中,除了要进行必要的阅读精读训练来提升对文章的理解能力,必要的雅思阅读速度能力也是很重要的。提高阅读速度的同时提高做题正确率,对于雅思阅读高分帮助很大,在平时的雅思阅读训练中,要持续强化速读能力。

雅思阅读如何提高:速读技能了解一下图1

通过训练批判性思维从而实现快速雅思阅读雅思文章,以及准确做出题目是非常有效的方法。因为批判性思维(Critical Thinking) 是最根本的英文文章的写作技术之一,只有充分理解并且掌握批判性思维方式才能真正理解作者所要表达的意思。也只有掌握批判性思维才能真正又快又准的解决雅思阅读中的难题,对于CT 的训练是远比那些华而不实的技巧和没有任何实际意思的雅思阅读预测要务实而高效的多。

例 子1:比如Playing is a serious business. Children engrossed in a make-believe world, fox cubs play-fighting or kittens teaming a ball of string aren’t just having fun. Play may look like a carefree and exuberant way to pass the time before the hard work of adulthood comes along, but there’s much more to it than that. 每当你读到 are not just having fun ...., seems to ....应该很自然的想到后面的but , 并且与前面构成明显的对比。

例子二: 接下来带领大家一起来通过训练CT 来快速进行雅思阅读理解:The Truth about the Environment (Cam 5)

For many environmentalists, the world seems to be (出现seems to //looks like// maybe 都是为了后面的indeed//but //however 的转折来铺垫的) getting worse. (总分结构的写法,作者会延续这个中心句的思路一直写下去,来证明中心句;当然如果有转折的话,就需要把重点放到BUT 后面来进行。 )They have developed a hit-list of our main fears: that natural resources are running out; that the population is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat; that species are becoming extinct in vast numbers, and that the planet's air and water are becoming ever more polluted.( 后面的细节的细节的例子都是用来证明前面的内容的,所以只要不出现BUT的强转折,就需要在心里面有期待:anticipation, 就是后面的句子细节都是延续的,这样就会读的快起来!!)

But a quick look at the facts shows a different picture. (出现了第一个转折,是和第一段中的seems to be 这样的转折的前奏的铺垫) First, energy and other natural resources have become more abundant, not less so,(一个小的CT 来验证观点) since the book 'The Limits to Growth' was published in 1972 by a group of scientists. Second, more food is now produced per head of the world's population than at any time in history. Fewer people are starving. Third, although species are indeed becoming extinct, (Although也是CT的具体体现,又是一个批判性思维的句子)only about 0.7% of them are expected to disappear in the next 50 years, not 25-50%,(小的CT) as has so often been predicted. And finally, most forms of environmental pollution either appear to have been exggerated, or are transient - associated with the early phases of industrialisation and therefore best cured not by restricting economic growth,(又是一个CT,需要了解BUT后面的重点) but by accelerating it. One form of pollution - the release of greenhouse gases that causes global warming - does appear to be a phenomenon that is going to extend well into our future, (批判性思维的句型CT) but its total impact is unlikely to pose a devastating problem. A bigger problem may well turn out to be an inappropriate response to it.

总之这一段就是一个大的批判性思维的中心句,然后再结合三个小的CT 而快速构成的雅思阅读段落。

Yet (轻微转折,小的CT) opinion polls suggest that many people nurture the belief that environmental standards are declining and four factors seem to cause this disjunction between perception and reality.

(中心句直接泼出来中心句,给出是四个方面导致现实和理解的不同,接下来就是要展开四个factors 的s 的)

One is the lopsidedness built into scientific research. Scientific funcing goes mainly to areas with many problems. That may be wise policy,( 前面是maybe ,后面是转折,又是轻微的CT) but it will also create an impression that many more potential problems exist than is the case.

Secondly, environmental groups need to be noticed by the mass media. They also need to keep the money rolling in. Understandably, perhaps, they sometimes overstate their arguments. In 1997, for example, the World Wide Fund for Nature issued a press release entitled: 'Two thirds of the world's forests lost forever'. (前后对比的CT) The truth turns out to be nearer 20%.

Though these groups are run overwhelmingly by selfless folk, they nevertheless share many of the characteristics of other lobby groups.(这句中心句是比较难的,但是也确实是重要的CT句型,翻译是:尽管这些小组是以无私的名义来进行运作的,但是他们同样还是具有其他游说小组的特征,这句话你看懂了吗?) That would matter less if people applied the same degree of scepticism to environmental lobbying as they do to lobby groups in other fields. (本句是虚拟语气,意思是: 如果我们对于这些所谓环保组织施加相同程度的怀疑,那么问题就不会这么严重。“ A trade organisation arguing for, say, weaker pollution controls is instantly seen as self-interested. (这个地方又是明显的CT,前面是instantly seen 是批判性思维的前奏,后面的YET 是转折的后半部分,是重点) yet a green organisation opposing such a weakening is seen as altruistic, even if an impartial view of the controls in question might suggest they are doing more harm than good. ( 前后采用批判性思维写的句子,翻译为: 然而这些绿色环保组织仍然被认为是利他的和无私的,即使有部分的观点建议说这会产生更多的危害(但是我们坚信是好的,因为是环保组织)

A third source of confusion is the attitude of the media. People are clearly more cuirous about bad news than good. Newspapers and broadcasters are there to provide what the public wants. (小的批判性思维的表现) That, however, can lead to significant distortions of perception. An example was America's encounter El Nino in 1997 and 1998. This climatic phenomenon was accused of wrecking tourism, causing allergies, melting the ski-slopes and causing 22 deaths. (CT,后面是重点)However, according to an artical in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, the damage it did was estimated at US$4 billing but the benefits amounted to some US$19 billion. These came fromhigher winter temperatures (which saved an estimated 850 lives, reduced heating costs and diminished spring floods caused by meltwaters).

The fourth factor is poor individual perception. People worry that the endless rise in the amount of stuff everyone throws away will cause the world to run out of places to dispose of waste.(注意这句话是典型的批判性思维的句型) Yet, even if America's trash output continues to rise as it has done in the past, and even if the American population doubles by 2100, all the rubbish America produces through the entire 21st centurey will still take up only on 12,000th of the area of the entire United States. 请重视这句话的思维翻译是:即使美国的垃圾的增加速度是持续高的,即使美国的垃圾到了2100 年会翻倍,那么全美国所产生的全部垃圾,也只占到总的21世纪的垃圾的1/12000, 言下之意就是:这样的问题并不严重,这个是不是一个典型的和常识相违背的思路和句型。

So what of global warming? As we know, carbon dioxide emissions are causing the planet to warm. The best estimates are that the temperatures will rise by 2-3°C in this century, causing considerable problems, at a total cost of US$5,000 billion.

(本段开篇的句子,再次说明是CT的批判性思维的句型)Despite the intuition that something drastic needs to be done about such a costly problem,economic analyses clearly show it will be far more expensive to cut carbon dioxide emissions radically than to pay the costs of adaptation ot the increased temperatures. (本句话的意思着实和我们的常识是完全不一致的,是完全违背常识的,翻译过来是:尽管我们知道要为此而付出的昂贵代价的学费的问题是急需关注的,但是经济分析人士认为大量减少二氧化碳的排放,而比为了适应增加的温度所需要支付的费用要高很多) A model by one of the main authors of the United Nations Climate Change Panel shows how an expected temperature increase of 2.1 degrees in 2100 would only be diminished to an increase of 1.9 degrees. Or to put it another way, the temperature increase that the planet would have experienced in 2094 would be pos官方真题Officialned to 2100. (后面的例子就是顺接前面的观点而进行展开的具体例子)

So this does not prevent global warming, but merely buys the world six years.(小的转折后面有来一个小的转折) Yet(然而的表达又是转折) the cost of reducing carbon dioxide emissions, for the United States alone, will be higher than the cost of solving the wolrd's single, most pressing health problem: providing universal access to clean drinking water and sanitation. Such measures would avoid 2 million deaths every year, and prevent half a billion people from becoming seriously ill.

It is crucial that we look at the facts if we want to make the best possible decisions for the future. It may be costly to be overly optimistic - but more costly still to be too pessimistic.(最后一句话的写作质量是很高的,翻译是: “似乎过于乐观的成本必然是很高的,但是过于悲观却是代价更高的。)这句话同样具有很强的批判性,在现实生活中,的确也是过于悲观所产生的后果,要大大高于过于乐观,随意一个穷人,普通人,最大的问题是不自信,虽然我们一直都不这样认为?

通过批判性思维训练将极大的提高雅思阅读速度以及更准确的做出雅思阅读题目。不会左顾右盼,最终选错。

3,The investigators' findings were striking.(这是由形容词形式的中心句,作为读者要明白该段落接下来所有的意思都是围绕着“为什么是令人吃惊的结果“,在英文雅思阅读中有三个词表示结果,分别是:result , outcome 和findings) In the late 1970s,the infant mortality rate for the children of illiterate mothers was around 100deaths per thousand live births.(这是文盲妈妈组) At this point in their lives, thosemothers who later went on to learn to read had assimilated level of child mortality (105/1000).(这是后来学习雅思阅读的妈妈组) For women educated in primary school, however, the infant mortality rate was significantly lower, at 80 per thousand (这是本来妈妈就读过小学的组)

到目前为止,还是没有找到任何“striking”的痕迹,那么读者需要思考,这个“striking”到底体现在什么方面?

In 1985, after the National Literacy Crusade had ended, the infant mortality figures for those who remained illiterate(仍然是文盲的妈妈组) and for those educated in primary school (本身就读过小学的妈妈组) remained more or less unchanged. For those women who learnt to read through the campaign, (然而后来通过训练而读书的妈妈组) the infant mortality rate was 84 per thousand, an impressive21 points lower than for those women who were still illiterate. (这个地方就是非常明显的下降,所以构成“令人吃惊的”结果。)The children of the newly-literate mothers were also (这个also是更进一步的表明,这个项目的另外一个优点) better nourished than those of women who could not read.

这个段落最要说明的重点就是要通过实验调查结果显示,只有本来是文盲后来扫盲之后的妈妈组,这个项目的意义最大。孩子的出生率和死亡率都得到了很大的改善。但是该题的难点就是很多同学,无法理清这2个段落的内在联系,不具有很强的批判性思维。所以看的很迷茫,从而做错题目。速度也很慢。

难题解析:

4 Before the National Literacy Crusade, illiterate women had approximately the same levels of infant mortality as those who had learnt to read in primary school. (在具体这个项目之前,一个是100/1000,一个是105/1000, 所以该题是错误的。)

21 Before and after the National Literacy Crusade the child mortality rate for the illiterate women stayed at about 110 deaths for each thousand live births. (这个项目对于仍然是文盲组的妈妈组没有影响)

22 The women who had learnt to read through the National Literacy Crusade showed the greatest change in infant mortality levels. (这是这个段落最想表达的重点,也是impressive 这个词的同义转换, 21%就是这个意思。)

23 The women who had learnt to read through the National Literacy Crusade had the lowest rates of child mortality. (虽然通过项目扫盲的妈妈组取得了最大的变化,仍然是84/1000 ,但是并不是最少的,因为最少的是80/1000)

24 After the National Literacy Crusade the children of the women who remained illiterate were found to be severely malnourished. ( 这是典型的NG雅思阅读题目的出题思路,并没有提到)
