30天雅思听力冲刺计划表

30天雅思听力冲刺计划表 基本功训练(每天45 ~ 60分钟) 听力考试,基本功十分重要,光靠技巧做题或许有时可以幸运取胜,但不能长久制胜,且对将来在国外的真实生活无利。 从下决心要考雅思的那天起,考生就应该着手训练听力基本功。这里推荐:《Step by Step》(第一、二册);《Listen to This》(中级);《Look Ahead》(第三、四册)进行Dictation(听抄)练习。 做Dictation时,开始要强迫自己不看文字材料,而应先把录音内容从头至尾听一遍,再把听不懂的地方一遍又一遍地反复听,这就是在训练自己用耳朵识别语言的能力。若有些地方实在听不懂,也应尽量听清各个音节,然后再翻开书看一看,有些影响理解的生词可以查一下词典。接着再合上书从头至尾听,直到能够听懂全部内容为止。通过这样的听力训练,可促使自己提高辨音及听力理解能力。 假使读过书面材料再去听录音,往往不是耳朵在辨音,而是大脑在思索、背诵; 假使看着书面材料听录音,则往往是自己在默读,都达不到提高听力的目的,遇到新材料时又会听不懂。 在一个月的冲刺备考期中,虽然时间比较紧张,考生仍须坚持做Dictation,可以直接听“剑桥真题”4至6中的语段(因为这三本书中的读音与目前考试的读音最为接近),反复听,听写大意,有时间的话,可以对某一段落,尤其是自己听得不太好的语段,进行逐字逐句的听写。经过反复训练,考生可以大致体会出连读、略读、省音、失爆等英语发音特点,从而跟上语段节奏,熟悉雅思读音腔调!做完Dictation的最后一遍,建议考生跟读录音,这既可以加强对听力内容的理解,又能模仿老外原汁原味的语音语调,练习口语。这种“磨耳朵”式的听力训练,看似枯燥,效果却很神奇,考生只要不偷懒,天天坚持45~60分钟,每周如此,一个月后定能见效。 在考试当天,考生还可准备好放音设备,随身听着真题的录音赶赴考场,以使自己的耳朵预热,提前进入听力状态。当然,该方式因人而异,如果你觉得这样做反而会使自己劳累和紧张,那就大可不必了。 词汇准备 (每天 1.5 ~ 2小时) 要想在雅思听力考试中获取满意的成绩,除了听力能力本身之外,另一个关键因素是对词汇的熟悉——这里不单指熟悉词义,更要求考生具有准确的拼写能力。原因如下:首先,在雅思听力中,Completion(填空题)占据了总题量的70% ~ 100%,是听力

环球雅思学校5-5.5分入学测试题

环球雅思学校入学测试题(B) READING READING PASSAGE 1 Questions 1-4 Read the following notice. Using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS form the passage answer the questions below. 1. You are in room 101. Which staircase should you use to evacuate the building? 2. You are in room 201. Where should you wait outside after evacuating the building?

3. What should you do if the alarm stops? 4. Who should you contact if you discover a fire? Reading passage 2 Living Expenses--A Guide for Overseas Students 1 In the mid-1990s it is estimated that a student living alone requires on average $12,000 in living expenses for each year of study. Of course, these costs increase with time. 2 Upon arrival, students should have funds in excess of the average to cover the cost of textbooks and establishment expenses such as rental bond payment and basic furniture items. The amount spent on food, recreation, and entertainment expenses will vary according to requirements, budget, and location. 3 Those who are prepared to live in shared accommodation, which may not be suitable for all, might manage on $10,000 per year. It is preferable for overseas students whose English is in need of practice to take advantage of live-in situations with native-speakers whenever possible. However, sharing with friends who are easy to communicate with is probably more sensible at first. 4 The above figures do not include the cost of large non-essential items such as household equipment or a car. Owning and maintaining a motor vehicle is expensive in Australia. Insurance is compulsory and costly, and parking both on and of campus can be a problem requiring additional expense. It is not advisable for a student to own a car unless it is absolutely necessary. A reasonable second-hand car can cost in excess of $4000 5 Educational institutions are almost always serviced by reliable public transport. The university and college campuses within the major cities are well served by public busses. In addition, the larger cities have extensive train systems. For example, in Sydney, most college and university campuses are only 10 or 20 minutes from a rail station. 6 The summer vacation requires special financial planning. Expenses for this period must be carefully estimated and added to costs for the academic year in order to give a realistic total figure for the calendar year. They are not included in the estimated $10,000-$12,000 previously quoted. University eating facilities, and some university and college housing facilities, close during this time. As a general rule, international students should expect to spend at least as much on monthly living expenses during the summer as they do during the academic year. 7 Under present immigration regulations, international students are allowed to work up to 20 hours during term time and full-time during vacation. It is impossible for students to expect to

雅思听力真题分类解析

雅思听力真题分类解析 雅思听力对于许多同学来说是比较难的一部分,相对来说题型也比较多。下面是小编给大家整理的雅思听力真题分类解析,大家可以作为了解。 雅思听力题型分类之选择题: 题量:10道题以上,容易出现在s2和s3部分;难度较高 题型特点: 1.审题压力大:有单选题和多选题,单词量多,阅读速度要求高 2.错误选项干扰大:对听句子的反应速度要求高 3.题目和正确选项会出现同义替换 题目可能已经给出句子的前半部分,考生需在选项中选择一个较好答案完成这个句子。题目也可能是一个完整的问题,考生需在选项中选择一个较好的答案作答。考生需要从三个可供选择的答案A、B、或C选择一个较好的答案或句子结尾。 选择题这种题型中考生都比较熟悉,所以可能对于考生来说算是相对比较容易备考及应的一种题型。但是要记住切忌大意,因为雅思考测的是学生的英语应用能力,所以考试内容的广度及深度都要远远高于内其他类英语考。在雅思听力中的选择题有区别于传统听力考的一些特征。雅思听力的选择题更加注重细节的考察,在section 3和section 4部分听力所涉及的场景内容更加专业。 雅思听力题型分类之填空题: 题量:20道题以上,容易出现在s1和s4部分,是听力中的要点题型,难度中等

出题特点: 1.单词拼写一般是低难度,比如:月份,星期、旅游景点,但是对于书写格式要求严格 2.题目会出现同义替换,需要积累一定同意替换词汇 3.所听即所得:答案会直接在听力中给出 4.先答案后题目:在个别填空题中会先出现答案,然后再出现题目中的信息 考生先阅读一组句子,这些句子对听力材料中部分或者全部内容进行了总结。考生需使用听力材料中的信息对每个句子的空格以简短的方式进行填空作答。题目的指示中会对字数要求进行限定,通常为不超过三个单词和/或一个数字。考生所用的单词应该是直接从听力材料中所听到的单词。如果考生填写了超过问题指示中所要求的字数,即使所填的内容中包含正确的答案,也会被扣分。缩写的单词不会被作为考的内容。带有连字符的单词按照一个单词计算。 雅思听力填空题有单句填空和摘要填空两种。这类题型因为给出一定的信息,所以对考生来说是相对来说比较简单的一类题。同内英语考相同,建议考生在听听力之前,留意句子关键词,并根据空格前后内容猜测并判断空格处要填入部分的词性或所担当的成分。切记不要超过三个单词和/或一个数字,要仔细阅读题目的指示再作答。 雅思听力题型分类之匹配题: 题量:4-8题左右;常出现在section2和section3中,难度较高 题型特点: 1.审题压力大:选项较多时对于阅读速度有要求 2.听题节奏快,干扰多,容易抓不到答案

A controversial theory of how we smell,which claims that our fine sense of odour depends on quantum mechanics,has been given the thumbs up by a team of physicists. 2. Calculations by researchers at University College London (UCL) show that the idea that we smell odour molecules by sensing their molecular vibrations makes sense in terms of the physics involved. 3. That's still some way from proving that the theory,proposed in the mid-1990s by biophysicist Luca Turin,is correct. But it should make other scientists take the idea more seriously. 4. "This is a big step forward," says Turin,who has now set up his own perfume company Flexitral in Virginia. He says that since he published his theory,"it has been ignored rather than criticized." 5. Most scientists have assumed that our sense of smell depends on receptors in the nose detecting the shape of incoming molecules,which triggers a signal to the brain. This molecular
