雅思阅读HEADING题全面介绍
抓主干快速做题(部分概括)以下有一例:
通常雅思阅读文章的主旨句符合“首末句原则”,但是如果一个段落中,段首段尾句和第二句都不能定位到Heading,有没有明显的转折总结关系词,那么只能快速通读全文。比如:
A few months ago Kim Schaefer, sales representative of a major globalpharmaceutical company, waked into a medical center in New York to bringinformation and free samples of her company’s latest products. That day she waslucky a doctor was available to see her. The last rep offered me a trip toFlorida. What do you have? The physician asked. He was only half joking.
在本段中,如果只读首尾句,是不可能得出文章的概要的。其关键部分恰恰在于倒数第2、3、4 句。所以必须平时就练就一个基本功--抓段落主干。
⑶文章每一部分常用词语归纳:
若标题中出现 concept,explanation,definition,background,what is…problem等词,一般对应文章前面部分。
若标题中出现 summary, conclusion, results, effect, impact, consequence…等词,一般对应文章后面部分。
若标题中出现一下词语,一般对应文章中间部分
表对比比较的词 compare,contrast,similar等;
表数据的词 data, statistics, census, figure, number等;
表百分比的词 rate, percentage, proportion等;
表金钱的词 cost, expense, budget等;
表假设的词 hypothesis,assumption 等;
抓隐含有转折意义的小词:关于but, however, although, even though, nevertheless / despitethe fact ….As a result/as a consequence 、Sb.+ vt. (show/suggest)…是意思较明显的转折,但是有些词的转折意味通常比较隐蔽,比如剑桥7里面:
There is a widespread belief that increasing wealth encourages people tolive farther out where cars are the only viable transport. The example ofEuropean cities refutes(转折词) that. They are often wealthier than their Americancounterparts but have not generated the same level of car use. In Stockholm caruse has actually fallen in recent years as the city has become larger andwealthier…
这段文字中,widespread就是一个陷阱词,它的后面出现了一个转折词refute, 但是由于refute这个词语有的考生不认识,或者因为没有明显的转折的关系词而被忽略。另外常出现的陷阱词还有
assume /assumption/ a widely held view/(在段首时要引起注意,很可能是作者要驳斥的观点,要看作者是否同意之前的假定) 看后面有无转折词
Studies of… used to be based on archaeological and fossil evidence…..。Anumber of techniques ….since….,however, have….
It was once assumed that….
以上是雅思阅读HEADING题全面介绍,考生们切忌“光说不练、纸上谈兵”,带着每一类题型的“战略战术”去研究至少两套阅读真题,真正做到技巧和做题相结合的“练兵”,才能找出自己的薄弱点,各个击破。
