2015年雅思阅读模拟试题及答案解析三
Time to cool it 1 REFRIGERATORS are the epitome of clunky technology： solid， reliable and just a little bit dull. They have not changed much over the past century， but then they have not needed to. They are based on a robust and effective idea--draw heat from the thing you want to cool by evaporating a liquid next to it， and then dump that heat by pumping the vapour elsewhere and condensing it. This method of pumping heat from one place to another served mankind well when refrigerators' main jobs were preserving food and， as air conditioners， cooling buildings. Today's high-tech world， however， demands high-tech refrigeration. Heat pumps are no longer up to the job. The search is on for something to replace them. 2 One set of candidates are known as paraelectric materials. These act like batteries when they undergo a temperature change： attach electrodes to them and they generate a current. This effect is used in infra-red cameras. An array of tiny pieces of paraelectric material can sense the heat radiated by， for example， a person， and the pattern of the array's electrical outputs can then be used to construct an image. But until recently no one had bothered much with the inverse of this process. That inverse exists， however. Apply an appropriate current to a paraelectric material and it will cool down. 3 Someone who is looking at this inverse effect is Alex Mischenko， of Cambridge University. Using commercially available paraelectric film， he and his colleagues have generated temperature drops five times bigger than any previously recorded. That may be enough to change the phenomenon from a laboratory curiosity to something with commercial applications. 4 As to what those applications might be， Dr Mischenko is still a little hazy. He has， nevertheless， set up a company to pursue them. He foresees putting his discovery to use in more efficient domestic fridges and air conditioners. The real money， though， may be in cooling computers. 5 Gadgets containing microprocessors have been getting hotter for a long time. One consequence of Moore's Law， which describes the doubling of the number of transistors on a chip every 18 months， is that the amount of heat produced doubles as well. In fact， it more than doubles， because besides increasing in number，the components are getting faster. Heat is released every time a logical operation is performed inside a microprocessor， so the faster the processor is， the more heat it generates. Doubling the frequency quadruples the heat output. And the frequency has doubled a lot. The first Pentium chips sold by Dr Moore's company，Intel， in 1993， ran at 60m cycles a second. The Pentium 4--the last "single-core" desktop processor--clocked up 3.2 billion cycles a second. 6 Disposing of this heat is a big obstruction to further miniaturisation and higher speeds. The innards of a desktop computer commonly hit 80℃. At 85℃， they

1. A European spacecraft took off today to spearhead the search for another "Earth" among the stars. 2. The Corot space telescope blasted off aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan shortly after 2.20pm. 3. Corot， short for convection rotation and planetary transits， is the first instrument capable of finding small rocky planets beyond the solar system. Any such planet situated in the right orbit stands a good chance of having liquid water on its surface， and quite possibly life， although a leading scientist involved in the project said it was unlikely to find "any little green men". 4. Developed by the French space agency， CNES， and partnered by the European Space Agency (ESA)， Austria， Belgium， Germany， Brazil and Spain， Corot will monitor around 120，000 stars with its 27cm telescope from a polar orbit 514 miles above the Earth. Over two and a half years， it will focus on five to six different areas of the sky， measuring the brightness of about 10，000 stars every 512 seconds. 5. "At the present moment we are hoping to find out more about the nature of planets around stars which are potential habitats. We are looking at habitable planets， not inhabited planets. We are not going to find any little green men，" Professor Ian Roxburgh， an ESA scientist who has been involved with Corot since its inception， told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme. 6. Prof Roxburgh said it was hoped Corot would find "rocky planets that could develop an atmosphere and， if they are the right distance from their parent star，they could have water". 7. To search for planets， the telescope will look for the dimming of starlight caused when an object passes in front of a star， known as a "transit". Although it will take more sophisticated space telescopes planned in the next 10 years to confirm the presence of an Earth-like planet with oxygen and liquid water， Corot will let scientists know where to point their lenses.

Next Year Marks the EU's 50th Anniversary of the Treaty A. After a period of introversion and stunned self-disbelief，continental European governments will recover their enthusiasm for pan-European institution-building in . Whether the European public will welcome a return to what voters in two countries had rejected so short a time before is another matter. B. There are several reasons for Europe’s recovering self-confidence. For years European economies had been lagging dismally behind America (to say nothing of Asia)， but in the large continental economies had one of their best years for a decade， briefly outstripping America in terms of growth. Since politics often reacts to economic change with a lag，’s improvement in economic growth will have its impact in ， though the recovery may be ebbing by then. C. The coming year also marks a particular point in a political cycle so regular that it almost seems to amount to a natural law. Every four or five years， European countries take a large stride towards further integration by signing a new treaty： the Maastricht treaty in 1992， the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997， the Treaty of Nice in . And in they were supposed to ratify a European constitution， laying the ground for yet more integration—until the calm rhythm was rudely shattered by French and Dutch voters. But the political impetus to sign something every four or five years has only been interrupted，not immobilised， by this setback. D. In the European Union marks the 50th anniversary of another treaty—the Treaty of Rome， its founding charter. Government leaders have already agreed to celebrate it ceremoniously， restating their commitment to “ever closer union” and the basic ideals of European unity. By itself， and in normal circumstances， the EU’s 50th-birthday greeting to itself would be fairly meaningless， a routine expression of European good fellowship. But it does not take a Machiavelli to spot that once governments have signed the declaration (and it seems unlikely anyone would be so uncollegiate as to veto

雅思阅读教案 paragraph headings（段落标题） 在阅读文章的前面给出 list of headings, 一般是 5 到 10 个左右选项，其中含一到两个段落及其标题的例子。要求对题目中给出的段落，根据其内容找出与其相匹配的段落标题。尽管题目说明中提示一个选项可能会适用多个，但正式考试中一般一个选项只能用于一个段落。 ? 段落标题类答题步骤： 1.首先在 list of headings 中划去做为例子的 heading 或 headings ，以免在根据段落内容在 list of headings 中找出与其相匹配的段落标题时，它（它们）会干扰考试者对其他 headings 的选择。 ? 2.在文章中把做为例子的段落划掉，以免对例子段落进行不必要的精读。 3.对题目中给出的段落，按照首句（第一、二句）、末句和中间句寻找主题句的方法，在 list of headings 中找出与其相匹配的段落标题。 ? 4.如果时间允许，按照文章的段落顺序，对非题目中给出的段落及例子段落进行快速阅读，而对题目中给出并要求找出与其相匹配的段落标题的段落进行精读。找出其中心意思后，再在 list of headings 中找出与其相匹配的段落标题。 ? 5.选出几个可能匹配的题目进行比较（通常两至三个），当然其中只能有一个为正确答案。 ? 6. 对于第一种匹配题型可以将最难的题留在最后进行匹配，不要在较难的题上花费更多的时间，而应选择较易回答的题目进行匹配，最后所剩即为该难题的答案。 ? 7. 要仔细检察答案，特别是第一题型，因为答错一题，就意味着答错两道题。 ? 相应练习：剑四 test3 passage2 剑五 test3 passage3 剑六 test2 passage1 剑六 test3 passage2 剑六 test4 passage1 二、辨别正误题型 (True / false /not given)? 该题型还涉及到：（not given / not mentioned）没有提到，有时还会出现下列提法 accurat / inaccurat 精确/不精确； supported / contradicted 一
雅思阅读是非无判断题技巧系列讲解
雅思阅读是非无判断题技巧系列讲解 作者：不详发布时间：2009-09-01 16:20:48来源：网络 文章正文网校课程调查热评论坛 回溯历次雅思考试，判断题都是一个不可或缺的重要题型；虽说目前几次考试作为雅思元老的它已经越来越被变化多端的配对题夺去风头，但判断题仍是一个烤鸭们绝不能小觑的题型。作为一种被研究得很彻底的方法题，希望大家通过从本次开始的18讲Yes/No/Not Given专题，熟识它、洞悉它、最后在雅思战场上征服它。今天我们开始“是”型判断题的解题方法介绍。 作为我们是非无判断题的第一讲，和大家说的第一句话就是要明确答案的写法。是”T”吗？”True”吗？都不完全正确。因为对于任何和标准答案不一致的写法，严谨的雅思考官都有理由因“看不懂”而批错，如果这次偏偏有10道判断题，那平时不注意小节的你只能surrender your happiness to the mercy of foreigners。所以最安全的写法永远是”TRUE”,”FALSE”,”NOT GIVEN”(或”YES”,”NO”)，即按照题目要求的大写并拼写完全正确，见任何一套标准雅思试卷之判断题之前的Instruction。 {温馨提示} Yes”,“No”,“Not Given”和“True”,“False”,“Not Given”只是考试形式的区别,在判断方式上并没有本质不同。 作为一种技巧性很强的题型，判断题的高正确率无非掌握两点：定位和判断准则。请大家记住我们今天马上要讲授的True的第一种判断依据：题目是原文的同义表达。让我们按照由易到难的顺序来看3个例子。首先是简答的同根词之间的替换： {原创范例} 原文：Computers are gaining in popularity, despite their cost. 题目：Computers are more popular than they used to be. 解答：TRUE 原文告诉我们电脑的popularity(人气)是上升的，大家立刻脑海里出现一条上升的曲线；而题目中“电脑比过去要流行”，即它的受欢迎程度也是上升的。于是两条曲线吻合，所以是一个标准的TRUE。 有时候同义表达之间的差异会相当大，而除了名词的同义表达外，数量类型的同义表达也需要注意： {原创范例} 原文：The majority of lecturers find their jobs very rewarding. 题目：Many lecturers get satisfaction from their work. 解答：TRUE rewarding来自reward,表示“有意义的工作”，即get satisfaction; 而原文的the majority of（绝大部分）完全能够包含题目的many（很多）。 {温馨提示} 雅思判断的TRUE往往和原文面貌全非，因为考官做了大量的paraphrase。 如果在句子中间还出现了较为生僻的单词，则在同义表达识别的基础上还需要运用词汇的猜测等技能： {原创范例} 原文：Frogs are losing the ecological battle for survival, and biologists are at a loss to explain their demise. 题目：Biologists are unable to explain why frogs are dying. 解答：TRUE 题目中的are unable to与原文中的are at loss to是同义词，题

ACADEMIC READING 60 minutes READING PASSAGE 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13 which are based on Reading Passage 1 below. Striking Back at Lightning With Lasers Seldom is the weather more dramatic than when thunderstorms strike. Their electrical fury inflicts death or serious injury on around 500 people each year in the United States alone. As the clouds roll in, a leisurely round of golf can become a terrifying dice with death - out in the open, a lone golfer may be a lightning bolt's most inviting target. And there is damage to property too. Lightning damage costs American power companies more than $100 million a year. But researchers in the United States and Japan are planning to hit back. Already in laboratory trials they have tested strategies for neutralising the power of thunderstorms, and this winter they will brave real storms, equipped with an armoury of lasers that they will be pointing towards the heavens to discharge thunderclouds before lightning can strike. The idea of forcing storm clouds to discharge their lightning on command is not new. In the early 1960s, researchers tried firing rockets trailing wires into thunderclouds to set up an easy discharge path for the huge electric charges that these clouds generate. The technique survives to this day at a test site in Florida run by the University of Florida, with support from the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI), based in California. EPRI, which is funded by power companies, is looking at ways to protect the United States' power grid from lightning strikes. 'We can cause the lightning to strike where we want it to using rockets,' says Ralph Bernstein, manager of lightning projects at EPR!. The rocket site is providing precise measurements of lightning voltages and allowing engineers to check how electrical equipment bears up. Bad behaviour But while rockets are fine for research, they cannot provide the protection from lightning strikes that everyone is looking for. The rockets cost around $1,200 each, can only be fired at a limited frequency and their failure rate is about 40 per cent. And even when they do trigger lightning, things still do not always go according to plan. 'Lightning is not perfectly well behaved,' says Bernstein. 'Occasionally, it will take a branch and go someplace it wasn't supposed to go.' And anyway, who would want to fire streams of rockets in a populated area? 'What goes up must come down,' points out Jean-Claude Diels of the University of New Mexico. Diels is leading a project, which is backed by EPRI, to try to use lasers to discharge lightning safely and safety is a basic requirement since no one wants to put themselves or their expensive equipment at risk. With around $500,000 invested so far, a promising system is just emerging from the laboratory. The idea began some 20 years ago, when high-powered lasers were revealing. their ability to extract electrons out of atoms and create ions. If a laser could generate a line of ionization in the air all the way up to a storm cloud, this conducting path could be used to guide lightning to Earth, before the electric field becomes strong enough to break down the air in an uncontrollable surge. To stop the laser itself being struck, it would not be pointed straight at the clouds. Instead it would be directed at a mirror, and from
雅思阅读之选择题技巧分析
雅思阅读之选择题技巧分析 “选择题在雅思阅读中出题频率虽然没有判断题那么高，但依然是雅思阅读中的主流题 型，在2015年整年和2016年截止到目前为止的阅读考试中，选择题约占20%的比重，所以也是考生不容小觑的一项题型。选择题整体难度中等，但是陷阱较多，干扰项很多，考生会 在选项之间来回纠结，拿不定主意，导致时间浪费，错误率高。经过深入研究，朗阁海外考试研究中心对选择题的选项类型进行了细分和全方面解析，在下文中将从正确项、错误项、未提及项、和干扰项四个方面为考生们一一解析，希望能够帮助考生在做题中更清晰地明白 考点，辨别干扰项，从而选出正确答案。 一.正确项 正确项即正确答案，对于正确项的定义是，在文中有定位点，并且替换正确，这跟判断 题中的TRUE/YES很像。但是和判断题有区别的是，选择题的定位句往往不止一句，许多时候需要结合好几句话理解。值得注意的是，考生不能主观臆断答案，感觉对了就选了，一定要找到准确的定位点。 1. 选项是原文一两句话的改写 例：佥V 6 Test 3 Passage 1 第11 题 题目：In Tarkovsky ' s opinion, the attractionof the cinema is that it A. aims to impress its audie nee B. tellsstories better than books C. illustratesthe pass ing of time D. deseribesfamiliar eve nts
分析： 这道题的一个难点在于定位，根据人名定位词 Tarkovsky 缩小范围为 C 段和 D 段，根据定位词“ the attraction of the cinema ”确定到 D 段对应定位词“ the key to that magic ”。找到定位句： “ ForTarkovsky, the key to that magic was the way in which cinema created a dynamicimage of the real flow of events. A still picture could only imply theexistence of time, while time in a novel passed at the whim of the reader. Butin cinema, the real, objective flow of time was captured. ” 根据这两句话我们可以看到，电影的魅力主要在于能够真正捕捉时间客观真实的流动， 和 C 选项替换改写过后意思一致。 2. 选项是原文某段的归纳总结 归纳总结是指原文句子较长较多，选项对于原文进行上下文的归纳。在剑 10, 剑 11 真 题中，选择题陷阱减少， 但是归纳总结增多， 长难句很多， 主要考察考生对于长难句的理解。 所以考生要在平时的阅读训练中， 提高自己长难句的理解能力， 学会抓住句子主干， 快速把 握句子的意思。 例：剑 10 Test 2 Passage 3 第 32 题 题目： The writer mentions London ' s NationalGallery to illustrate A. theundesirable cost to a nation of maintaining a huge collection of art. B. theconflict that may arise in society between financial and artistic values.

Selling Digital Music without Copy-protection Makes Sense A. It was uncharacteristically low-key for the industry’s greatest showman. But the essay published this week by Steve Jobs， the boss of Apple，on his firm’s website under the unassuming title “Thoughts on Music” has nonetheless provoked a vigorous debate about the future of digital music，which Apple dominates with its iPod music-player and iTunes music-store. At issue is “digital rights management” (DRM)—the technology guarding downloaded music against theft. Since there is no common standard for DRM， it also has the side-effect that songs purchased for one type of music-player may not work on another. Apple’s DRM system， called FairPlay， is the most widespread. So it came as a surprise when Mr. Jobs called for DRM for digital music to be abolished. B. This is a change of tack for Apple. It has come under fire from European regulators who claim that its refusal to license FairPlay to other firms has “locked in” customers. Since music from the iTunes store cannot be played on non-iPod music-players (at least not without a lot of fiddling)， any iTunes buyer will be deterred from switching to a device made by a rival firm， such as Sony or Microsoft. When French lawmakers drafted a bill last year compelling Apple to open up FairPlay to rivals， the company warned of “state-sponsored piracy”. Only DRM， it implied， could keep the pirates at bay. C. This week Mr. Jobs gave another explanation for his former defence of DRM： the record companies made him do it. They would make their music available to the iTunes store only if Apple agreed to protect it using DRM. They can still withdraw their catalogues if the DRM system is compromised. Apple cannot license FairPlay to others， says Mr Jobs， because it would depend on them to produce security fixes promptly. All DRM does is restrict consumer choice and provide a barrier to entry， says Mr Jobs； without it there would be far more stores and players， and far more innovation. So， he suggests， why not do away with DRM and sell music unprotected？“This is
