雅思阅读：详解无词阅读法的巅峰境界

　　常见的表示方向的关系有如下几大类：

　　表示前后方向相反：

　　转折关系： but/however/yet, on the other hand, despite

　　对比关系： more/less…than…, unlike

　　表示前后方向相同：

　　并列关系： A and B, not…nor…, first, second, third

　　递进关系： moreover, in addition/additionally/besides, not only…but also…

　　那么请大家来做一个练习：

　　Managerial and executive progress made by women is confirmed by the annual survey of boards of directors carried out by Korn /Ferry /Carre /Orban International. This year the survey shows a doubling of the number of women serving as non-executive directors compared with the previous year. However, progress remains painfully slow and there were still only 18 posts filled by women out of a total of 354 non-executive positions surveyed. Hilary Sears, a partner with Korn /Ferry, said, ‘Women have raised the level of grades we are employed in but we have still not broken through barriers to the top.’

　　上面一段话，完全可以浓缩成以下内容：

　　… progress(+) … doubling of the number(+) … However … painfully slow(-) … raised the level of grades(+) … but … not broken through(-) …

　　也就是说，从两次出现“however/but”这种转折关系词来看，这一段话一直采用的是一种“对比”结构，分别论述了妇女找工作的好坏两方面。怎么样，你能否仅仅用30秒钟完成阅读?

　　一旦你能 精通“无词阅读法”，那么在面对每篇将近1000字的雅思阅读文章时，就一定能产生这样的“郁闷”心情：怎么文章有这么多生词我不认识，却能够读懂大意?这在以前简直就是mission impossible嘛!但是，不要惊讶，因为你已经“顿悟”了阅读! 四、“无词阅读法”对于完成题目的直接效果

　　我在讲课的时候，不会像其他没有“顿悟”的老师那样以词句为单位，查单词搞翻译。要知道，如果拿着字典来讲阅读，把文章翻译一遍之后问同学们：“明白这道题为何这样做了吗?”那么是不是所有的人都可以讲阅读了!
