Title: Bondi beach 邦迪海滩

Question types: TRUE/FLASE/NOT GIVEN, Short Answer Questions 文章内容回顾邦迪海滩是澳大利亚的著名海滩

英文原文阅读Bondi Beach is about one kilometre long (≈0.6 miles) and receives many visitors throughout the year. Surf Life Saving Australia has given different hazard ratings to Bondi Beach in . While the northern end has been rated a gentle 4 (with 10 as the most hazardous), the southern side is rated as a 7 due to a famous rip current known as the "Backpackers' Express" because of its proximity to the bus stop, and the unwillingness of tourists to walk the length of the beach to safer swimming. The south end of the beach is generally reserved for surfboard riding. Yellow and red flags define safe swimming areas, and visitors are advised to swim between them. There is an underwater shark net shared, during the summer months, with other beaches along the southern part of the coast. Pods of whales and dolphins have been sighted in the bay during the months of migration. Fairy penguins, while uncommon, are sometimes also seen swimming close to shore or amongst surfers in southern line-up.

In , the Guinness World Record for the largest swimsuit photo shoot was set at Bondi Beach, with 1,010 women wearing bikinis taking part.

Bondi Beach was added to the Australian National Heritage List in .

Sport and recreation

Bondi Beach is the end point of the City to Surf Fun Run which is held each year in August. The race attracts over 63,000 entrants who complete the 14 km run from the central business district of Sydney to Bondi Beach. Other annual activities at Bondi Beach include Flickerfest, Australia's premier international short film festival in January, World Environment Day in June, and Sculpture By The Sea in November. In addition to many activities, the Bondi Beach Markets is open every Sunday. Many Irish and British tourists spend Christmas Day at the beach.

An Oceanway connects Bondi to South Head to the north and other beaches to the south up to Coogee.

Bondi Beach hosted the beach volleyball competition at the Summer Olympics. A temporary 10,000-seat stadium, a much smaller stadium, 2 warm-up courts, and 3 training courts were set up to host the tournament.

Lifesaving clubs

Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club is the world's first surf lifesaving club

and North Bondi Surf Lifesaving Club is a federation club. Both clubs were

founded in 1907. Bondi members invented the surf reel and many other icons of

lifesaving. Surf Lifesavers from both clubs were involved in the largest rescue

ever on a single day, known as 'Black Sunday'. Bondi holds the most Australian

Surf Lifesaving Championship gold medals in R&R (rescue & resuscitation) and

North Bondi hold the most gold medals in March Past.

Bondi Icebergs

The Swimming Club's origin dates back to 1929 and owes its origins to the desire

of a band of dedicated local lifesavers who wished to maintain their fitness

during the winter months. They formed the Bondi Icebergs Winter Swimming Club

and drew up a constitution and elected office bearers. Included in the

constitution was a rule that to maintain membership it was mandatory that

swimmers compete on three Sundays out of four for a period of five years.

The Icebergs became licensed in 1960 and the members moved from a tin shed into

comfortable premises with Bar and Poker Machines. A further update took place in

the 1970s enabling the Club to operate on two floors. In 1994, female members

were admitted and in the Club opened their new premises.

题型难度分析这两个题型都较容易,前面的判断题有五个题目,后面的简答题大概有三个。

题型技巧分析是非无判断题是雅思考试阅读的经典题型,虽然今年的题量相对减少,可是仍是复习备考时应关注的题型。

首先应该注意看清是TRUE还是YES, 本篇是TRUE FALSE NOT GIVEN

解题步骤:

1. 速读问题的句子,找出考点词(容易有问题的部分)。考点词:比较级,最高级,数据(时间),程度副词,特殊形容词,绝对化的词(only, most, each, any, every, the same as等)

2. 排除考点词,在余下的词中找定位词,去原文定位。

3. 重点考察考点词是否有提及,是否正确。

TRUE的原则是同义替换,至少有一组近义词。

FALSE是题目和原文截然相反,不可共存,一般有至少一组反义词。

NOT GIVEN原文未提及,不做任何推断,特别多考察题目的主语等名词在原文是否有提及。

文章内容回顾

英文原文阅读Mistakes Improve Children's Learning

Everyone makes mistakes and children are no exception. What's important is how we learn from them. Yet, children grow up in a society that pressures them to be perfect and intelligent - to achieve the highest SAT scores, land prized scholarships, and get into the best universities. Parents reinforce this pressure at home when they cover up children's mistakes, correct homework to improve grades, or drill knowledge into kids until they get it right. Stress is increased when children are constantly praised for their intelligence. How does this focus on perfection and IQ affect learning? And how can we help children and teens believe in themselves by accepting their mistakes and learning from them?

A recent Scientific American article, Getting it Wrong: Surprising Tips on How to Learn,supports a number of learning and developmental theories. Historically, many educators have created conditions for learning that do not encourage errors. And parents have followed suit. For example, if we drill children over and over again with the same math problem, they will eventually remember the answer. And if they are lucky, they will remember the answer on a standardized test.

This approach to learning assumes that if students are allowed to make mistakes, they will not learn the correct information. However, recent research shows this to be an incorrect assumption. In fact, studies have found that learning is enhanced when children make mistakes!

Whether it involves homework, developing friendships, or playing soccer,

learning is enriched through error. Making mistakes is part of how kids are challenged to learn to do things differently. It motivates them to try new approaches.

Carol Dweck, a professor at Stanford University, studies the importance of challenging children, even if they get things wrong. Her research shows that praising children for their intelligence can actually make them less likely to persist in the face of challenge. She and her colleagues followed hundreds of

5th grade children in New York City schools. One group was praised for their intelligence while the other group was praised for their effort.

When the 5th graders were challenged with an extremely difficult test designed

for 8th graders, a surprising result occurred. The students who had been praised

for their effort worked very hard, even though they made a lot of mistakes. The

kids praised for being smart became discouraged and saw their mistakes as a sign

of failure. Intelligence testing for the kids praised for their effort increased

by 30% while the kids praised for their intelligence dropped by 20%.

Dweck's work, described in the book MindSet: The New Psychology of

Success reminds parents that glowing, unconditional praise that masks errors and

mistakes is harmful to children's development. Being too quick with praise can

be as detrimental as correcting homework mistakes that would have provided

opportunities for learning.

Children make many kinds of mistakes. Some mistakes, like forgetting a homework

assignment or not studying for an important test, have expected consequences.

Others like lying, cheating, or actions that negatively affect friendships, have

more complicated causes and are more complex to remedy. But all mistakes contain

seeds of learning.

Ten Parenting Guidelines that Help Kids Learn from Mistakes

Acknowledge that you don't expect your children to be perfect.

Let them know your love is unconditional, regardless of their mistakes or lapses

in judgment.

Don't rescue children from their mistakes. Instead, help them focus on the

solution.

Provide examples of your own mistakes, the consequences, and how you learned

from them.

Encourage them to take responsibility for their mistakes and not blame others.

Avoid pointing out their past mistakes. Instead, focus on the one at hand.

Praise them for their ability to admit their mistakes.

Praise them for their efforts and courage to overcome setbacks.

Mentor them on how to apologize when their mistakes have hurt others.

Help them look at the good side of getting things wrong!

题型难度分析

本文题型难度适中,第一种题型是文章摘要题,而且有选项,针正确是文章的前两段,后一

种是填空题,要求填一个单词,也是细节题。

题型技巧分析Summary题,有顺序原则。

先关注instruction字数限制,有些题目在字数限制前,还有段落限制,告诉考生这个题目是针对哪个段落的。

其次,通读summary, 而且划出关键词,主要包括名词,连接词,介词,不定冠词。

然后根据空格前后信息,预测空格上的单词(单复数,可数与否,词性,-ing, -ed, 固定搭

配等)

如果是有选项的摘要题的话,还要通读选项。

同时注意无选项的文章摘要题,在写答案的时候,单词一定要是来自于文章中的。

Title: 欧洲祖先的生活环境

Question types: 段落配标题,配对,填空,选择题(考查主旨)

文章内容回顾

讲过去欧洲祖先的生活环境,极地的民族用火,用动物皮什么的,有一个cave, 科技的演

化,火,在5个不同地方的区别。

题型难度分析这篇文章的题型较多,段落配标题和配对相对较难,填空题较容易

题型技巧分析选择题的做题步骤

一、阅读指令 (Instruction)

这一步骤主要是针对多项选择而言的。单项选择题的指令没有什么作用,而在多项选择题中,指令中会提示正确选项的数量。在誊写答题卡的时候,一定要注意多项选择题的题号,一个正确选项占用一个题号。这一点对于初次接触雅思的考生来说要特别引起注意。

二、阅读题干,划出定位词

由于选择题考察细节的特点,故题干中的词往往能够提供定位

三、阅读选项,划出核心词

在寻找正确答案之前,一定要事先通读选项,因为选项提供了对原文正确或者是错误的同义转换。可是由于选项较长,不可能一次性全部记住,因此有必要把选项里的核心词划出来,这样能够减轻记忆负担,而且更加有针对性地做题。

四、找到相关句子段落,摆脱干扰找到答案

这是做题的最后一个步骤,也是最重要的步骤。由于选择项的干扰性往往很强,因此对找到的相关句子或段落一定要进行仔细阅读,排除错误选项。甄别干扰项这一步骤是考生解题的关键,很多考生在往往对几个选项犹豫不决,经常跳进题目的陷阱。一般说来,干扰项有如下几个类别:

1、数字陷阱

选择题的特点便是选项进行深度的同义转换。可是如果个别选项中出现了数字,往往意味着这个数字直接来源于文章,没有进行任何同义替换。这种干扰选项对于根本读不懂原文的考生有着致命的诱惑力,因为只有数字是熟悉的,其它的单词都读不懂。数字选项中,数字在文章中都有提及,但经常是经过移花接木的形式出现的,以干扰考生的注意力。

2、相似陷阱

同理,如果题目中出现的个别单词与原文中的用词一模一样,特别是一些经常被同义替换掉的动词、形容词等,这个选项往往就是干扰选项。

3、偷换概念陷阱

有时候选项中虽然与文中有对应的词,但选项中偷换了关键性的成分(如谓语部分),使得

答案错误。

4、搭配不当陷阱

这是最具有诱惑性的选项。这种选项的特点是:选项本身是正确的,可是跟题干却不能形成

搭配关系。很多考生看到选项和原文内容相似,甚至还有同义转换,便毫不犹豫地选择了这

样的干扰项。

to revolve and it gave Hargreaves the idea that a whole line of spindles could be worked off one wheel. In 1764 Hargreaves built what became known as the Spinning-Jenny. The machine used eight spindles onto which the thread was spun from a corresponding set of rovings. By turning a single wheel, the operator could now spin eight threads at once. Later, improvements were made that enabled the number to be increased to eighty. The thread that the machine produced was coarse and lacked strength, making it suitable only for the filling of weft, the threads woven across the warp. Hargreaves did not apply for a patent for his Spinning Jenny until 1770 and therefore others copied his ideas without paying him any money. It is estimated that by the time James Hargreaves died in 1778, over 20,000 Spinning-Jenny machines were being used in Britain. James Hargreaves was born near Blackburn in about 1720. Hargreaves received no formal education and was unable to read or write. He worked as a carpenter and weaver but had a strong interest in engineering. By the 1760s Hargreaves was living in the village of Stanhill and was one of the many weavers who owned his own spinning wheel and loom. It is claimed that one day his daughter Jenny accidentally knocked over over the family spinning wheel. The spindle continued to revolve and it gave Hargreaves the idea that a whole line of spindles could be worked off one wheel. In 1764 Hargreaves built what became known as the Spinning-Jenny. The machine used eight spindles onto which the thread was spun from a corresponding set of rovings. By turning a single wheel, the operator could now spin eight threads at once. The thread that the machine produced was coarse and lacked strength, making it suitable only for the filling of weft, the threads woven across the warp. Originally Hargreaves produced the machine for family use but when he began to sell the machines, spinners from Lancashire, fearing the possibility of cheaper competition, marched on his house and destroyed his equipment. Hargreaves did not apply for a patent for his Spinning Jenny until 1770 and therefore others copied his ideas without paying him any money. Hargreaves moved to Nottingham where he erected a small spinning-mill. Others began to make improvements to the Spinning-Jenny and the number of threads was increased from eight to eighty. By the time James Hargreaves died in 1778, over 20,000 Spinning-Jenny machines were being used in Britain. Passage 2:
