搞懂雅思阅读四大逻辑关系秒上7

搞懂雅思阅读四大逻辑关系秒上7.5 雅思阅读到底考我们什么?词汇?语法?篇章结构?推断能力? 小编相信大家都知道雅思阅读不考语法,也不单纯考词汇,但是词汇量越大,语法越好,读起文章来就越轻松,做起题来就越得心应手--特别是对于填空类题目更是如此。那么是不是意味着,词汇量大,语法很好,就能够轻松拿到高分?答案自然是否定的,英语博士们不是个个都能做满分的,但是普通大学生,甚至是高中生,也有可能拿到高分。我的学生里,有高中生考到了7.5,甚至8.5的。那这里面的奥秘又在哪里呢?一个学员在有了词汇、语法的基础上怎么才能向高分发起冲刺呢,这里我们要探讨就是雅思阅读考试里面所隐含的逻辑关系,理清了这些逻辑关系,搞明白了文章和题目的基本思路,那么许许多多的问题就迎刃而解了。 雅思阅读里隐含的逻辑结构林林总总,但是大致我们可以归纳为以下四种,我们叫做雅思阅读四大逻辑关系:并列逻辑关系,转折逻辑关系,比较逻辑关系,因果逻辑关系。 这四种逻辑关系不仅涉及到了题目的半壁江山,而且对于理解一篇文章,或者段落的某些句子具有重大意义,接下来,我就讲一一分解它们,希望能给学习雅思阅读的同学一些启示和参考。 一、并列逻辑关系 并列逻辑关系是这四种逻辑关系里面最简单,最容易理解的一种,对于很多同学来说,无外乎就是and,or这两个词。 二、因果逻辑关系

既然是因果关系,那么就存在谁因谁果的问题,世间没有无因之果,也没有无果之因,cause和effect是相互依存的,在任何一个句子中出现了表述原因的词,必然能看到其结果,反之亦然。 三、比较逻辑关系 说到比较逻辑关系,大家可能首先想到的则是T,F,NG中对比较关系的判断,诚然,判断题里比较级是一大考点,但是比较逻辑关系的运用比这要广泛得多,做此类题时要记住两个原则即可: 原则一:但凡题目出现了比较逻辑关系,那么原文中答案所在的句子也必然会有比较逻辑关系出现,只是其关系词表述形式可能会替换 原则二:如果题目存在比较级,回原文去找比较级,如果题目是最高级,则抓最高级,或者extremely,或者比较级和最高级替换着找都可。 四、转折逻辑关系 转折经常给我们的生活带来各种惊喜,当然也不乏刚才例子里这种"惊喜",那么这种逻辑关系跟我们的雅思阅读又有什么关系呢?作为雅思阅读四大逻辑关系之终结篇,本文将深入探讨转折逻辑关系在雅思阅读中的广泛运用与实战要领。转折逻辑关系词的运用,一如之前介绍过的三种逻辑关系词一样,绝不是光背背几个常见替换就可以熟练运用的,学员在运用的过程中一定要深刻体会它们所体现的逻辑关系,所涉及的要素,以及作者的意图等等,反复练习,建立良好的意识,方能玩转这些逻辑关系词。

1 The government should pay for people’s education and health care. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 2 As global trade increases, many goods, including some daily goods, are exported to other countries. Such goods are usually transported over long distances during shipping. Do the benefits of this trend outweigh the drawbacks? 3 In many countries, good schools and medical facilities are available only in cities. Some people think that university graduates who become new teachers and doctors should work in rural areas for a few years. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 4 Some people think that in order to improve the quality of education, high-school students should be encouraged to evaluate their teachers. Others, however, think that will result in loss of respect and discipline in the classroom. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. 5 In some countries, school subjects and course contents are decided by the government. Many people argue that students should decide these for themselves. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 6 Some people think that students should be organised into groups to study. Others, however, argue that students should study alone. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. 7 Some people think that today, children live under more pressure than children did in the past. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? 8 Little has been done to prevent animals and plants from dying out, although people have been aware of this problem for a long time. Why have people done so little about it? How can we solve this problem? 9 A long-distance flight consumes the same amount of fuel and causes the same amount of pollution as a car does in several years' time. Some people think that to reduce environmental problems, we should discourage non-essential flights, such as tourist air travel, instead of limiting the use of cars. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 10 Many people think that we have entered a “throw-away society”and are filling the environment with plastic bags and rubbish that we cannot fully dispose of. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Suggest some solutions to this problem. 11 Some people think that cultural traditions will be destroyed if they are used as money-making attractions aimed at tourists. Others, however, believe that is the only way to save these traditions. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. 12 Public libraries should only provide books and not waste their limited resources on high-tech media such as software, videos, or DVDs. Do you agree or disagree?

雅思作文例讲(二)书面练习一 参考文章

雅思作文例讲(一) 1) After birth ---- what will play a major role in one’s personality and development? Nature or Nurture? While many individuals complain that they are not sufficiently clever to succeed in life, I firmly believe that personality and development are decided more by education and training after birth than any given gene. To begin with, environment is a determining factor of one’s personality. One may think that personality is already shaped once a baby was born, but in fact are many contributing factors. The baby, for instance, would most likely be pessimistic if he or she lived in a poor family, where the baby always received punishment from his parents. His view of life would be very different from another individual who lived happily in a perfect nurturing family with encouragement and psychological support from his parents. Further, education after birth plays a significant role in one’s development. Education, which helps children develop their thinking and accumulate their knowledge, is a deciding factor of one’s success. For example, a high-school level person commonly may not succeed to the extent of a person who has received a university education. This is not only because of the greater breadth of knowledge acquired, but also due to a more critical and focused way of thinking that is imparted and refined during ones senior education. A wolf child, to offer another instance, due to a deficiency of education by contact with human beings, could hardly live in our society or self-develop. Admittedly, nature, decided by the genes given by one’s parents, also affects one’s personality and development. One can clearly find differences among younger kids in their learning ability, which could prove the importance of genes in this regard. However, when compared with other factors after birth, the role of genes play in one’s personality and development may not be particularly significant. Not all genius will inevitably be successful, and similarly not all great men are genius in their childhood. Therefore, I hold that environment and education after birth weigh heavier than nature in regard to one’s personality and development. 2) In Britain, when someone gets old they often go to live in a home with other old people where there are nurses to look after them. Sometimes the government has to pay for this care. Who should be responsible for our old people? Give reason for your answer. One of the most challenging problems of today’s society is the question of who should be responsible for our elderly. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to discuss four possible models in this essay. First, the employer could be responsible for its retired employees. To make this possible, a special fund could be established. The advantage of this model is that it should be the least expensive solution provided under capitalism. But one possible problem does emerge. When a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a competitive disadvantage due to higher employee costs.

雅思阅读4大特点

雅思阅读4大特点 雅思阅读怎么复习?“做题呀!”怎么做才有效?“不停地做题 呀!”在雅思阅读备考中,如若能正确使用雅思阅读真题来复习很有效果。今天就来带大家了解雅思真题阅读4大特点。 雅思阅读4大特点你都知道吗? 不同用途的*,其写作手法和要求是各不相同的。报刊*就是最典型的例证,无论从用词还是结构、从修辞到语言都有其独特之处。英美的报刊杂志对记者和编辑在写作和编辑*的时候是有很多特殊的要求的。了解了雅思阅读真题的*特点之后,才能对症下药,迅速抓住答案啦! 先了解下雅思阅读真题四大特点: 1.语言模式 1) 段落(Paragraph) 英美报刊的*,不管是新闻还是特写,段落短小是一大特点,一个段落往往就是一句话或两句话。一般来讲,英美报刊段落大概由60个单词组成,平均在4行左右。据说,这是专家经过科学实验后总结出来的经验,认为这是适合读者的最佳段落长度。

大多数雅思阅读*的段落长度也都是在这个范围。但是由于杂志期刊也是考试命题的重要****,实战中,长度很大的段落也屡见不鲜。 2) 简明(Concise) 报纸的编辑出版受时间限制,一切都是在时间的压力下完成的。因此报纸一般推崇简明的风格。 以上就是为大家带来的内容啦,希望对正在备考的你有所帮助。更多雅思精彩内容,欢迎持续关注小站雅思频道。 这种风格的表现主要是: 用词:记者对所报道的题目一般都比较熟悉,因此能够选用恰当的词汇来表达有关内容,包括一些专业词汇。总体上新闻的用词都比较普通,某些反复用到的词出现率很高,如报道政治新闻时常见到president, congress, senator, representative, scandal, vote, bill一类的词。偏爱短词是英美报刊用词的一大特点。 主动语态(active voice):比较例句a) Senator Dole planned to announce his resignation from the Senate.和例句b) To announce his resignation from the Senate was planned by Senator Dole. 时态:一般用现在时而不是过去时表示事件是最近发生的,是新闻而不是旧闻。

2021年雅思考试巩固预测试题及答案

2021年雅思考试巩固预测试题及答案 Sun's fickle heart may leave us cold 25 January 2007 From New Scientist Print Edition. Stuart Clark 1 There's a dimmer switch inside the sun that causes its brightness to rise and fall on timescales of around 100,000 years - exactly the same period as between ice ages on Earth. So says a physicist who has created a computer model of our star's core. 2 Robert Ehrlich of George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, modelled the effect of temperature fluctuations in the sun's interior. According to the standard view, the temperature of the sun's core is held constant by the opposing pressures of gravity and nuclear fusion. However, Ehrlich believed that slight variations should be possible. 3 He took as his starting point the work of Attila Grandpierre of the Konkoly Observatory of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. In 2005, Grandpierre and a collaborator, Gábor ágoston, calculated that magnetic fields in the sun's core could produce small instabilities

雅思阅读四大逻辑关系介绍:转折关系

雅思阅读四大逻辑关系介绍:转折关系 本文讲解了雅思阅读四大逻辑关系介绍:转折关系。雅思阅读到底考我们什么?除了词汇、语法、判断能力外,还要考我们对逻辑关系的掌握程度。希望以下内容能够对大家的雅思备考有所帮助! 如果你男朋友或者女朋友对你说:"我原本是打算送你一个生日礼物的……"请问你是该高兴呢,还是该郁闷?我想这个答案应该不言而喻吧,因为很显然,此人最后并没有给你生日礼物,接下来的那句话肯定会是话锋一转,蹦出类似于这样的借口:"但是后来实在太忙了,所以给忘了,不好意思啊,下次一定不会忘了……"。你是不是很想抽他(她),心想:绝对不会有下次了…… 为什么我们从这半句话就能知道结果呢,其实是因为我们读懂了"原本"里隐含的逻辑关系,那就是--转折。转折经常给我们的生活带来各种惊喜,当然也不乏刚才例子里这种"惊喜",那么这种逻辑关系跟我们的雅思阅读又有什么关系呢?作为雅思阅读四大逻辑关系之终结篇,本文将深入探讨转折逻辑关系在雅思阅读中的广泛运用与实战要领。 我们还是先看一个非常经典的一个例子,《剑五》97页上的第34题。 题目是这样表述的:Day length is a useful cue for breeding in areas where ……………. are unpredictable。通过分析,我们得出以下结论:这里需要一个复数名词,而且是一个不可预测的事物;在该事物不可预测的地区,繁殖

行为就得以日照长度作为提示了。接下来就是定位了,我们可以用这些名词作为定位依据:day length,breeding,cue。现在我们回文章,会看到以下几个句子可能会有答案出现,因为它们里面含有两个定位词:第二段的第一句"Breeding in most organisms occurs during a part of the year only, and so a reliable cue is needed to trigger breeding behaviour."第二句"Day length is an excellent cue, because it provides a perfectly predictable pattern of change within the year." 但是很显然,第一句话里出现的唯一的复数名词organisms并无不可预测的意思,而第二句话里根本没有复数名词,因此这两句话都不是我们所需要的。但是既然定位词已经这么密集的出现了,这就预示着答案已经离我们近在咫尺了,所以我们需要特别关注接下来的一两句话。 现在我们来看第三句:In the temperate zone in spring, temperatures fluctuate greatly day to day, but day length increases steadily by a predictable amount。如果就定位词来看的话,这句话里只有一个day length,其实不太符合我们的普通定位词要有两个的原则,但是有两个理由让我们对其刮目相看:首先,这句话里有一个复数名词"temperatures";其次,后半句话里有个"unpredictable"的反义词"predictable"。很多同学对这句话是持怀疑态度的,因为fluctuate对巨大多数人来说是个生词,而且predictable是可预测的意思,也不是我们需要的不可预测。但是如果大家注意到句中的"but"的话,那么一切疑惑都将迎刃而解。
