很多同学备考雅思,就是“嘻唰唰 嘻唰唰 嘻唰唰 ”,剑桥题目刷一遍,一遍不行刷两遍,两遍不行刷三遍,反复循环。刷到后面杯具了,题目刷得锃亮锃亮的,蓝鹅,昏数还是没有提上去,蓝后,就开始闹题慌。这真是一个恶性循环,刷题有用的话,难道不应该人人考8分吗?其实,看我微博反馈的同学会发现有些同学,考前可能只做了剑5和剑6,就去考试,阅读就提到了8分!亲耐滴小烤鸭们,你怎么就不能停下你刷刷刷的动作,仔细想想雅思阅读考神马,怎么样备考才是有效的备考呢?
首先,雅思作为一门语言考试,基本的词汇量是必不可少的,但是很多同学,又非常反感背单词,非常不愿意背单词。但是,你造吗?你不背单词,做雅思阅读就是以下这种感觉:
我们知道賢鑜是在生活中很重要的。比如在鼙蠻和贎鬍里,有彃燊在罅鷄那里蓀墝,之前他们鏈鴊恆闳嘑傡彚槩鞷蕻賤鬡艐倏雫寛褲灣
1.鞷在文中的意思?
2.这篇文章的最佳标题?
3.作者没有告诉我们什么?
4.作者为什么说“恆闳嘑傡彚槩“?
怎么样上面的题目做的粗来吗?你如果不背单词,难道你做阅读不就是这个感受么?
所以,小烤鸭们,我建议备考的泥萌,踏踏实实背个单词,好不好?那么,问题来了?到底有多少词汇量才能够靠好雅思阅读呢?其实,还真有人做个这个统计,雅思阅读的词汇量要求是:8000左右。什么概念?就素,六级词汇6000,六级之外多出2000,就是8000雅思词汇了。这个数字有没有吓到大家?其实,我上课的时候说背四级就够了,很多人不相信,质疑的同学可以看我的阅读微博(手把手教你雅思-阅读)之前的学员反馈阅读结课后6.5-8.5,你的战友们一定不会骗你的。氮素,后来我发现我直接让学生去背四级词汇,有些学生也很奔溃,毕竟也是蛮厚的一本。于是,报了我的班的同学都知道,我后来整理了一个雅思阅读核心高频2000词(注:2000词阅读班内部资料,为了帮助大家记忆,阅读班的福利课就是串讲核心2000词,让背单词简单高效又有趣;而且阅读班里,有词霸带大家背单词,每天两次,效果非常好。),已被N多名烤鸭,实战证明:真心核心,真心高频啊。绝对没有愧对“精忠报国”四个大字!!(不好意思,激动了,尴尬中...)应该是,绝对没有愧对“核心高频”四个大字。
氮素,氮素,你以为你阅读看不懂,真的全部都是词汇的问题吗?下面这个句子看得懂吗?
I think that that that that that student wrote on the blackboard is right.
单词一定都认识,但是,看不懂的同学应该是多数。(这句后文有解析)
影响大家阅读的单词是一方面,还有另一方面就是语法。语法在阅读中最直接的体现就是长难句,你是否看得懂?能够看懂才是阅读实力提升的关键,其实如果烤鸭们真的会看懂长难句的话,以后到了国外,绝对可以横行霸道,各种文献资料绝不在你的话下,我经常就跟同学们说,哪怕你什么都没学会,只要学会了看长难句的方法,那么上我的课,你就值了。
长难句应该怎么处理呢?
请计算下题的答案:
1×2×3×4×5×6×7×8×9×0×11×12×13×14×15×16×17×18×19=?
数学学霸们?算出来了吗?
有没有同学发现,这个题的答案其实是0。这个题目跟长难句有什么关系?其实,我们处理长难句的智慧,跟解这题的道理是一样的。苏轼词曰:不识庐山真面目,只缘生在此山中。很多同学,看到长难句,一头就扎进去,一个词一个词的看,看到后面,把自己绕进去了,绕晕了。处理长难句,应该先站在一个宏观的角度看句子框架结构。英语语言学上把“英语”描述为‘藤状’结构的句子,就是一串葡萄样的句子结构:可以巨多颗葡萄,但是一定是靠一个枝干把这些普通都串起来。英语句子也一样,一个句子可以有很多很多的单词,但是一定是靠一个句子主干串起来的。这个主干就是句子的主谓宾,我们在处理长难句的时候,应该第一步先站在宏观的角度,先看框架,先挑主干,就像上面的那道数学题。如果大家先从宏观的角度看一下题目,而不是一头扎下去,那么应该秒杀刚才的数学题。英语句子理解也是一样,先看主干,再看修饰成分。这样句子就会很清晰了。
具体处理长难句的技巧和方法,我在课上会有详细讲解,这里就不废话了。
以上是提升真正阅读实力中,大家需要做到的,其实,考试的时候,长难句处理就更简单了。考试时,先提主干,弄清大意,然后结合题目,题目问哪,就看哪!
请看下面的判断题:
题目.The plight of the rainforests had largely been ignored by the media.
原文出处:
In the face of the frequent and often vivid media coverage, it is likely that children will have formed ideas about rainforests ---what and where they are, why they are important, what endangers them----independent of any formal tuition.
解析:
定位找到原文,原文很长,这时候不着急花时间在理解这个长难句,先看题目,题目提到的关键词是media,题目意思:雨林的情况很大程度上被媒体忽视了。所以,只用关注原文的media相关内容即可,发现跟media相关的就是:In the face of the frequent and often vivid media coverage,所以,通过这个小短语,可知媒体的报道是频繁的,而且是形象生动的报道(coverage)。因此,轻松做出答案,题目和原文是矛盾的。答案:FALSE
看完这篇文章,烤鸭们知道怎么备考了吧?打好基础才是提升实力的关键。
(附:I think that(后面引导宾从) that(指示代词,“那个”)that(这个就是指单词“that”)that(关系代词,后加定从)that(指示代词,“那个”)student(那个学生,定从主)wrote(定从谓)on the blackboard(状语)is(宾从系动词)right(宾从表语)。宾从主干是:That that is right.)
