篇1:雅思阅读、听力、写作全面备考经验
雅思阅读、听力、写作全面备考经验分享
Tip1———写作用词勿重复观点多样化
“单单一个观点是绝对不够的!”天道雅思培训中心的专家们在谈到雅思写作部分时,重点提醒考生。
天道雅思培训中心的专家们指出,为了写好一篇250字或以上的小论文,学生必须学会把若干个主要观点组织到各段落中,然后还要用实例来支持自己的观点;重复用词和单一观点只会导致失分。
天道雅思培训中心的专家们建议,学生在平时应尽可能广泛阅读不同题材的文章,这样在考试时面对各种各样的话题才能做到言之有物。
Tip2———阅读答题重凭据不可想当然
在雅思阅读部分,考生常会被问到:“如下观点是否与文章所述相符,抑或未提及。”
天道雅思培训中心的专家们提醒:学生在读完文章后,很可能会觉得某个观点是文章所支持的,但这时务必要在文中找到相应的语句;如果找不到,仅仅是自己的推论,那么答案一定要写“NOTGIVEN”(未提及),切不可想当然。雅思阅读分类词汇的总结同学们一定不能落下,这是雅思阅读练习中很重要的一部分。
Tip3———听力辨清词类型提高准确率
听力是不少中国考生的老大难问题。两位天道雅思培训中心的专家们指出,根据答题来预先猜测词语类型,有助于雅思听力成绩的提高。
比如眼前有这样一道题:“Juliaconfirm鄄ingdinneron(1)______at(2)________”要求学生根据听到的内容填空,在听前我们可根据常识和介词预先判断:(1)大概是指某个具体日期(day/date),而(2)则很可能是某个时间或地点(time/place)。预先作好词语的类型判断,这样在听时准确率便会提高很多。
Tip4———口试表达要清楚切忌乱跑题
不管口语有多好,千万不要讲得太快,因为这样会让考官难以理解你要表达的意思;也不要喃喃自语、小声咕哝,应清楚地向考官阐述自己的观点;对话时要看着考官的眼睛,这样才不会被认为不礼貌。
如果因为听不懂某个单词而无法回答一个问题,可以明白地告诉考官,他会解释这个单词或重新表述自己的问题。
最重要的是,谈话一定要紧紧围绕给出的话题进行,如果跑题了就会大大失分。
雅思备考:听力多选题的陷阱应对
一、陷阱特点
通过对干扰选项的分析与研究,笔者发现陷阱的形式主要有以下几个特点:
1. 无中生有
选项中的内容在音频中没有被提到,如C5T1S3中的选项E. study diary在音频中并未被提及,即可排除此选项;或者选项中的内容在音频中只提到了一部分,另一部分的内容在音频中未被提及,如C5T2S2中的选项G. write to the government,音频中提到了government, 但并没有提到write, 也没有出现其同义词,故可排除该选项。
2. 似是而非
选项中的内容与音频中的表述几乎一模一样,但实际上不同,如C5T2S2中的选项D. do voluntary work in its office, 音频中说的是Also you could help by contacting the voluntary staff at our offices, voluntary与office的出现几乎可以以假乱真,但是音频中说的是contacting而不是选项中的do, 不仔细很容易将D听成正确选项。
3. 答非所问
选项中的内容在音频中的表述与题目的问题无关或意思相反,如C6T2S2, 题目问的是现在从Trebirch出发坐火车可以参观哪三个景点,选项B. a theme park, 音频中说的是your children will find it just as fascinating as any theme park, 与题目无关,故可排除该选项。再如C8T4S3题目问的是女生Jeannie离开社团的原因,选项B. The activity interferes with her studies, 音频中说的是尽管排练戏剧影响了学习,但她会继续留在该社团,与题目相悖,故可排除该选项。
4. 时间错乱
选项中的内容所表达的时态与题目问的时态不相符合,一般地,听力多选题的题目问题以现在时为主,所以发生在过去或者将来的则是陷阱。如C6T4S3题目问的是这个学期的学习技能研讨会包含哪三个话题,选项A. an introduction to the Internet, 音频中说的是The on
e on the Internet for beginners was last term, 这里的时间last term与题目中的时间this term不一致,故可排除该选项。再如C6T2S2题目中问的是现在从Trebirch出发坐火车可以参观哪三个景点,选项A. science museum, 音频中说的是when the new science museum opens next year, 这里的时间next year与题目中的时间at present不一致,故排除该选项。
5. 肯定与否
选项中的信息在音频中以否定的形式出现,如C8T1S2题目问的是学生们可以随身携带哪三件东西进入博物馆,选项A. food和选项B. drinks, 音频中说的是they should not bring anything to eat into the museum, or drinks of any kind. 因为有否定词not, 故可以轻松排除AB选项。再如C4T4S4, 题目问的是哪两个因素降低了鲨鱼网的作用,选项D. sharks eat holes in nets和选项G. holes in nets scare sharks, 音频中说的是It’s not that they think sharks are afraid of nets, or because they eat holes in them, because neither of this is true. 因为有否定词not和neither, 故可排除D和G选项。

篇2:雅思阅读备考经验
雅思阅读到底怎么做?按照以前学校英语老师教的方法还是网络各种经验资料呢?本文我们和大家分享过来人的雅思阅读经验,一起来看!
雅思阅读 过来人告诉你八大经验
1、基础差不要紧,通过做剑桥雅思真题系列,听老师讲技巧分析就能提高阅读分数
这个不能说全错。就看你的分数要求,如果你只需要4分或5分,可以说纯技巧能保证做到。但如果你要7分或8分甚至更高,单靠技巧绝对实现不了。众多雅思阅读高分得主的秘诀不仅仅在于解题技巧,更重要的是英语水平和阅读技能的同时提高。
想在短时间内在阅读上拿到7分以上的分数,那么就必须进行集中式的单词背诵。基础差的同学先可以按照顺序分别背诵高考词汇、大学四级词汇和六级词汇。这些都是咱们欠下的债,从哪里跌倒就从哪里爬起,查漏补缺,通过技巧和技能的完美提高,才是雅思阅读考试的最终目的。
2、剑桥真题都是很多年以前的考题,不必花很多时间钻研
剑桥真题确实是很多年以前的老题,但是既然这么大规模的出版发售就肯定对雅思考试是有指导意义的。有同学花一周时间就把剑桥真题全做完了,统计正确个数,预测分数,就把题甩在一边。
题目其实就好比是一个病人去看病的时候使用的体温计,只能反映病人的体温,并不能帮助治疗。做题本身只能检测自己的英语水平,但如果不对症下药,做再多的题目也是无济于事的。
所以,做完的题目都要进行仔细分析,看一下多少属于因词汇量不够而导致的错误,多少是因为语法结构,读不懂长难句而造成的错误,多少是由于阅读技巧导致的错误。
如果前两者的错误居多,那么就说明你需要提高你的词汇和语法基础了。复习的时候建议你按照题型分别进行,一方面巩固题型技巧,一方面通过把题目所在的原文进行精读,补充自己的英语基础知识。剑桥真题虽然是已经淘汰的文章,但是其思路结构,解题技巧和现在考试是一致的,也是大家复习雅思首选材料。
3、阅读就是要使劲做题,做题量决定考试成绩
很多同学在复习的时候喜欢做一些市面上很火的模拟题,有同学能把模拟题做得几乎全对,而遇到真实考试却遭遇滑铁卢。
建议烤鸭们还是要以剑桥真题系列为主,不要仅仅满足把题做对,更要花功夫理解跟解题相关的句子,对于层次高的同学希望大家能归纳下真题文章每段大意,这也是众多阅读单科8分以上同学共享的秘方。
每次阅读考试都有些题很难做,所以复习时应该重点关注此类难题。雅思阅读每次考试都会有3到4个难度颇高的题目,这些题考查大家生僻的单词,或者非常注重同学们的英语思维。大家不要过于学究,平时的复习时间不要花在偏题怪题上面,主心骨还是放在中等规范的题目中。
大家记住雅思考试考的是语言,区别于四六级考试和国内的硕士研究生招生考试,题目的答案直接从文章的表象中找就可以,不用特深入地思考。如果定位之后,思维要经过山路十八弯,那大多时候就误入歧途了。
4、雅思阅读能力很难提高
阅读能力取决于两个层面:英语基本功和快速阅读技能。雅思阅读对于英语基本功的要求就是能够胜任将来国外大学的学习,其笔试的要求大致相当于大学六级的水平。而快速阅读技能要在打好英语基础之上再进行培养。
雅思速度的主要技能概括起来是3个S: Survey, Skim和Scan.
Survey(浏览)就是在做文章之前进行浏览,对文章主题进行一个整体的把握,主要看一下题目、小标题等;
Skim(略读)需要你在短时间内掌握句子或段落的内容,这就需要你跳过一些东西。
Scan(扫读)的能力就是在短时间内迅速找出一个单词在文章中位置的能力,这个能力完全可以靠自己或者培训中心训练来培养。
5、雅思阅读就是找答案,只要背上数千单词就可以考得高分
其实不然。之前有一个学生,词汇量相当大,有8000左右,写作方面表现得很好,随手就可以写出6.5分水平的作文,但是,他的阅读模拟测试却从没有超过5分,而且对阅读课表现得很不耐烦,以为只要把单词背完就行了。
雅思考试作为目前世界上最权威的英语能力测试之一,除了一定量的词汇量,扎实的语法基础,良好的语感和阅读习惯,以及较快的阅读速度,都是取得高分必不可少的因素。只有有了这些基础,再辅以适当练习,对雅思阅读题型的熟悉和对时间的把握,才有把握取得较高的分数。
雅思考试对考生真实的英语阅读能力考察的准确性决定了它不是靠瞎猜或运气,或者是词汇量大就可以考好的。建议广大考生,踏踏实实地多花点时间和精力在阅读本身上,当考生的阅读理解水平达到一定程度时,想不考高分都难。阅读考试应该按照题目设置顺序完成。
一个小时完成三篇总计3000词的文章,对于考生的速度要求颇高。做题不要严格按照规定的顺序来。程度好的学生可以按照题号顺序做题;差一点的应按照难易程度进行,实现分数的最大化。
雅思阅读题型中,填空类别的题目通常最简单,如:table/chart/diagram, summary, sentence completion, short answer questions等,可以先做。
选择类的通常都较难,例如:T/F/NG, List of headings, Which paragraph contains the following information等,可以放到后面做。除此之外,烤鸭们还应该选择3篇文章中背景最熟悉的一篇先做,树立做题信心,以提高文章的正确率。
6、List of headings这种题型只要找首末句就可以判断
首末句为主题句的前提是文章遵循总分或分总结构,但是英文文章总共有6钟结构,所以用此种方法做题的正确率只有三分之一。
总结段落大意题确实存在着一些难度,通过很多段落的分析,我们发现做HEADING 题一个总的做题原则:精读首句,一一对应原则,即首先划好题目的关键词,再从每段第一句进行阅读,寻找题目关键词和段落的一一对应原则。如果第一句不能与题目对应,则还须往后阅读直到找到对应为止。
HEADING题是雅思考试难度较大的一种题型,一般建议学生做题时先做细节题,把HEADING留最后,相关的细节信息对段落的理解有一定的帮助。总之做HEADING 题要有心理准备,有的段落通过首末句即可断定答案,有的段落需要读到段落中部,有的段落则须从头至尾进行理解。
当然,针对程度较差学生,理解段落确实存在着困难,我们还可通过重复法对段落大意进行敲定,即如果一个段落中同一个词或它的同义词重复出现,我们可以选对应的heading。
7、雅思阅读的文章长,生词又那么多,即使看懂文章,也不一定能做对题
这种想法应该也是很多“烤鸭”们的一块心病。我的看法是:如果看懂了文章却没做对题的话,那只能说明你没有好好研究过题目。
任何考试都是有游戏规则的,只有遵循游戏规则的烤鸭才能最终修成正果。其实雅思阅读题目比文章显得更重要,因为题目不仅是出发点,同时也是落脚点。因此,建议大家每次做雅思阅读练习的时候,请先读题目,再看文章。这样就会更有针对性。
8、雅思阅读是应该先读文章再读问题
万事万物没有绝对!我认为如果考生的语言水平不错,那其实先读文章和先读题目差别不大,殊途同归嘛~However,如果考生觉得自己的英语还有待提高,而又急着要考雅思的话,那么在做阅读的时候还是先读题目,划出关键信息,然后再读文章一一搜索信息。
雅思阅读模拟练习及答案
Rogue theory of smell gets a boost
1. 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 'lock and key' process is thought to lie behind a wide range of the body's detection systems: it is how some parts of the immune system recognise invaders, for example, and how the tongue recognizes some tastes.
6. But Turin argued that smell doesn't seem to fit this picture very well. Molecules that look almost identical can smell very different — such as alcohols, which smell like spirits, and thiols, which smell like rotten eggs. And molecules with very different structures can smell similar. Most strikingly, some molecules can smell different — to animals, if not necessarily to humans — simply because they contain different isotopes (atoms that are chemically identical but have a different mass).
7. Turin's explanation for these smelly facts invokes the idea that the smell signal in olfactory receptor proteins is triggered not by an odour molecule's shape, but by its vibrations, which can enourage an electron to jump between two parts of the receptor in a quantum-mechanical process called tunnelling. This electron movement could initiate the smell signal being sent to the brain.
8. This would explain why isotopes can smell different: their vibration frequencies are changed if the atoms are heavier. Turin's mechanism, says Marshall Stoneham of the UCL team, is more like swipe-card identification than a key fitting a lock.
9. Vibration-assisted electron tunnelling can undoubtedly occur — it is used in an experimental technique for measuring molecular vibrations. “The question is whether this is possible in the nose,” says Stoneham's colleague, Andrew Horsfield.
10. Stoneham says that when he first heard about Turin's idea, while Turin was himself based at UCL, “I didn't believe it”. But, he adds, “because it was an interesting idea, I thought I should prove it couldn't work. I did some simple calculations, and only then began to feel Luca could be right.” Now Stoneham and his co-workers have done the job more thoroughly, in a paper soon to be published in Physical Review Letters.
11. The UCL team calculated the rates of electron hopping in a nose receptor that has an odorant molecule bound to it. This rate depends on various properties of the biomolecular system that are not known, but the researchers could estimate these parameters based on typical values for molecules of this sort.
12. The key issue is whether the hopping rate with the odorant in place is significantly greater than that without it. The calculations show that it is — which means that odour identification in this way seems theoretically possible.
13. But Horsfield stresses that that's different from a proof of Turin's idea. “So far things look plausible, but we need proper experimental verification. We're beginning to think about what experiments could be performed.”
14. Meanwhile, Turin is pressing ahead with his hypothesis. “At Flexitral we have been designing odorants exclusively on the basis of their computed vibrations,” he says. “Our success rate at odorant discovery is two orders of magnitude better than the competition.” At the very least, he is putting his money where his nose is.
雅思阅读模拟练习及答案
A.
When Denis Hennequin took over as the European boss of McDonald’s in January , the world’s biggest restaurant chain was showing signs of recovery in America and Australia, but sales in Europe were sluggish or declining. One exception was France, where Mr Hennequin had done a sterling job as head of the group’s French subsidiary to sell more Big Macs to his compatriots. His task was to replicate this success in all 41 of the European countries where anti-globalisers’ favourite enemy operates.
B.
So far Mr Hennequin is doing well. Last year European sales increased by 5.8% and the number of customers by 3.4%, the best annual results in nearly 15 years. Europe accounted for 36% of the group’s profits and for 28% of its sales. December was an especially good month as customers took to seasonal menu offerings in France and Britain, and to a promotion in Germany based on the game of Monopoly.
C
Mr Hennequin’s recipe for revival is to be more open about his company’s operations, to be “locally relevant”, and to improve the experience of visiting his 6,400 restaurants. McDonald’s is blamed for making people fat, exploiting workers, treating animals cruelly, polluting the environment and simply for being American. Mr Hennequin says he wants to engage in a dialogue with the public to address these concerns.
D.
He introduced “open door” visitor days in each country which became hugely popular. In Poland alone some 50,000 visitors came to McDonald’s through the visitors’ programme last year. The Nutrition Information Initiative, launched last year, put detailed labels on McDonald’s packaging with data on calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates and salt content. The details are also printed on tray-liners.
E.
Mr Hennequin also wants people to know that “McJobs”, the low-paid menial jobs at McDonald’s restaurants, are much better than people think. But some of his efforts have backfired: last year he sparked a controversy with the introduction of a “McPassport” that allows McDonald’s employees to work anywhere in the European Union. Politicians accused the firm of a ploy to make cheap labour from eastern Europe more easily available to McDonald’s managers across the continent.
F.
To stay in touch with local needs and preferences, McDonald’s employs local bosses as much as possible. A Russian is running McDonald’s in Russia, though a Serb is in charge of Germany. The group buys mainly from local suppliers. Four-fifths of its supplies in France come from local farmers, for example. (Some of the French farmers who campaigned against the company in the late 1990s subsequently discovered that it was, in fact, buying their produce.) And it hires celebrities such as Heidi Klum, a German model, as local brand ambassadors.
G.
In his previous job Mr Hennequin established a “design studio” in France to spruce up his company’s drab restaurants and adapt the interior to local tastes. The studio is now masterminding improvements everywhere in Europe. He also set up a “food studio”, where cooks devise new recipes in response to local trends.
H.
Given France’s reputation as the most anti-American country in Europe, it seems odd that McDonald’s revival in Europe is being led by a Frenchman, using ideas cooked up in the French market. But France is in fact the company’s most profitable market after America. The market where McDonald’s is weakest in Europe is not France, but Britain.
I.
“Fixing Britain should be his priority,” says David Palmer, a restaurant analyst at UBS. Almost two-thirds of the 1,214 McDonald’s restaurants in Britain are company-owned, compared with 40% in Europe and 15% in America. The company suffers from the volatility of sales at its own restaurants, but can rely on steady income from franchisees. So it should sell as many underperforming outlets as possible, says Mr Palmer.
J.
M.Mark Wiltamuth, an analyst at Morgan Stanley, estimates that European company-owned restaurants’ margins will increase slightly to 16.4% in . This is still less than in the late 1990s and below America’s 18-19% today. But it is much better than before Mr Hennequin’s reign. He is already being tipped as the first European candidate for the group’s top job in Illinois. Nobody would call that a McJob.

篇3:雅思写作备考经验来啦
雅思写作中习惯用语的积累
雅思写作备考经验中词汇是决定你是否能上7.5分,甚至更高的分的关键,说真话,词汇是一个非常可以看得出一个人英语水平的。Simon老师说过,7分作文和9分作文最大的差别就是词汇。 而对于我们而言累积词汇是一个特别漫长的过程,好不容易熬过这个过程,我们累积的词汇还是被动词汇,虽然见到可以明白意思只是在雅思写作考试的那时候就是记不起来。 因为输入和输出是两个分开的过程,雅思报名如何将输入转化为输出必须刻意的训练—有意识输出。 在这里有个很重要的实践点,就是,你必须学着运用起来。
背诵方面
雅思备考在背诵方面,我最喜欢的方法是大声朗读,因为熟能生巧总是我相信的真理。我每天大声朗读三四个小时,在其他奇怪的时间里,比如我跑步的时候,淋浴的时候,或者帮父母做家务的时候,我会在脑海里背诵出来。开始的时候,你可能记的不是很好,雅思报名你可能只记得很好的长句子,甚至是英语单词,但是渐渐地,你会发现你可以记住整段,然后是整篇文章。在你掌握了它的逻辑之后,你可以很容易地把它串成一个口头草稿。
雅思听力状态总进入不了怎么办
雅思听力考试中,许多同学一碰到听力,一般都会有两个方面的问题:
1、适应不了雅思听力的语速
2、迟迟不能进入听力状态。
前者导致做题时慌张,后者导致前面的题错误一大堆。针对这些问题,最为简单粗暴的方法就是:大量练习。如何解决这两个问题,做到很好地适应语速,并且在听力考试中迅速进入状态呢?新东方的雅思教师总结出了以下一些经验。
首先,帮你解答语速的问题。如果觉得语速快,根本原因是听觉生词。在一个句子里面,如果有一两个单词需要思考一下意思,哪怕是停下来0.1秒思考一下意思,那么这样的单词就要从句子里断出成为一个碎片,单独去记忆,单独去理解。然后,你需要把这样的碎片在拼接回句子中,这是很耗脑力的一件事,自然就跟不上了。所以,只要听到后理解起来会犹豫的词都属于听觉生词。如何才能跟上语速呢?所有单词都可以做到不假思索就能理解,那么整个句子就是一个完整的记忆和理解单位,这样自然就跟上了。所以,想解决语速问题,同学还是要加深对词汇的听觉印象。
其次,至于进入状态的方式,同学需要在考前进行两个方面的准备,一是英语听力的准备,二是心态上的准备。在听力准备上,不要把考试的section 1当热身,提前热身是必要的。所以,可以早上起来先听一个比较熟悉的雅思听力材料,让自己提前预热。在心态上,紧张的心态在考试刚开始的时候会最严重。所以每次考试section 1 的第一道题不管多么简单总是有极高的错误率。想解决这个问题,需要在考前对自己进行心理暗示,尽量降低紧张情绪。
雅思听力和四六级听力有什么不同
大学生常常会以大学四六级英语的成绩来衡量自己的英语实力。事实上,雅思考试与四六级考试之间存在着很多差异,不能直接进行对等。今天新东方网雅思频道就为大家详细介绍一下两者之间的差异。作为一门具有独创性且被世界广泛认可的国际性英语考试,IELTS(雅思)考试的听力测试部分与其他同类型的考试(TOEFL, CET4, CET6)相比,具有如下的特点:
1. 录音材料只播放一遍,考生作答时应当边听边写
2. 听力录音结束之后有10分钟誊写答案的时间
3. 不出现其他考试常用的短对话形式,取而代之的是长对话和长独白(5- 7m)
4. 语音国际化,包含了各种主流(英式美式澳式)和非主流的语音(印度等)
5. 选择题所占比例近年来越来越接近填空题所占比例
6. 需要作答的均为meaning blank(意义空缺),而非之前常接触到的literal blank(文字空缺),题目和材料的匹配度不高
第一个特点是绝大部分难度相对较高的英语听力考试的共同特点。考生需要时刻在考场上铭记“once only”这样一句话。这句话也是雅思听力审题的大前提。审题的效率也集中反应在只听一遍这个过程之中。在平时练习的时候,考生可能会有很多时间来重复听某一材料,可以sentence by sentence, 甚至可以phrase by phrase的去听。这样在平时练习的时候的确可以达到记忆重点词汇,分析长句难点的目的。但是在考试的时候,考生并没有这样的机会来重复往返的听,所以审题的效率决定了一遍听题的效果。接着需要注意的是考生应当边听边作答,因为材料不会replay。这一点给考生带来很大的一个问题依然在于审题,要求考生具有相当的快速阅读能力,在短时间内寻找到题目的关键词等。同时还存在的问题就是对于考生的听写能力有着相当的要求。作为听力考试,写下听到的内容可以说是最基本的考察形式了,雅思听力也不例外。听力中大规模出现的填空题正是对这一基本英语能力的深入检测。在这一点上,需要考生达到一个基本的听写能力,大约与大学4级词汇量相当的听写水平,方可较为从容的应付雅思听力。有弊必有利。Once only也限定了雅思听力的答案出现方式,即雅思听力基本原则之一—顺序原则。绝大部分的题目按照和文章同步进行的顺序出现,答案的先后顺序都是相对固定的。同时,只听一遍也带来了答案的出现原则—所听即所得,所有需要考生作答的答案都来自于听力材料的原文,很少或者几乎不出现归纳、总结、类比、推理之类的题目。
第二个特点相对其他同类考试来说相当的独特,以至于很多初次接触雅思的考生在作答时间上出现问题。雅思听力考试在材料播放完毕之后会给考生10分钟的时间来transfer answers。这10分钟之内没有任何录音播放,所以能做的仅仅是誊抄答案,并检查拼写与语法错误。在10分钟的作答时间结束之后,考生需要上交听力试题,开始进行阅读项目的测试。而阅读测试是1小时整,并没有额外的誊写答案的时间。有许多初次接触雅思的考生就在这里马失前蹄,导致阅读答案没有誊抄完毕而饮恨。这一点是尤其需要考生注意的。
第三点,考过CET4/6的考生应当记得这两种考试的听力形式,其中很重要的组成部分是所谓的mini talk。即A和B各说一句话,然后C就A与B的发言提问。这种类型的题目可以考察推理、归纳、总结等内容。反观雅思听力考试,材料总长度30分钟左右,4个section, 每个section的有效出题时间(与题目有关系的部分)大约有5-7分钟。其中section1&3是conversation的形式(1为dialogue对话,2人参与;3为conversation up to 4, 最多4人参与的对话交流);section2&4是monologue的形式,区别在于内容和难度。每个section自成一体,与其他的section内容上没有关系。结合顺序原则,一般来说,总体的难度是从section 1到section 4逐渐增加,偶尔也会有相反的状况发生。所以一旦考生遇到后者的情况,切勿惊慌。
第四点,这个特点就来源于历史了。英国在历史上殖民地众多,这些殖民地后来都发展成了独立主权国家并有了跟英式口音较为迥异的其他口音。其中影响力最大的是美音,美国对当今世界的影响是有目共睹的,美音亦然。我国的考生总体来说熟悉美音要更多一些,但是这点并不影响到考生听英音。实践表明,在适应一小段时间之后,熟悉美音的考生可以完全适应相对正统的英音。澳音相对来说独特一些,存在几组固定的替换音节,如ei—>ai(tail?tire这样类似的读音)。澳音自身最大的特点是平,音调起伏不大。加拿大音归属美音一类,发音极其类似。除此之外,世界上还有很多English-speaking country。这些国家所使用的并不是世界范围内所公认的标准口音,比如印度音。印度曾经是英国最大的海外殖民地,也曾是英联邦的一个成员国。所以,雅思听力中出现印度口音相对于其他一些非主流的口音来说,是比较多的。综合剑桥系列里出现的印度口音来看,能听到的都是较为标准的,印度风情不甚浓烈的语音,词义的理解上问题不是很大。其他的一些口音会或多或少的对考生的判断产生一定的影响。所以考生在备考的时候可以有选择性的多听一些其他国家的口音,用来熟悉语言材料,以免在真实考试中来不及反应而失分。
第五点,关于填空题和选择题的比例。近两年雅思听力中选择题出现的数量持续保持了增长的态势,几乎占据半壁江山,越来越接近填空题比例,这一趋势应当使考生明白当前的形式,加强听力选择题的题型训练,包括熟悉各类题型的特点,难点,解题步骤与注意事项。同时也要在根源上,也就是备考的时候注意跟填空题有关的听写训练和速度训练。做到有的放矢,这样考试才能胸有成竹。
这里尤其需要注意的是第六个特点。所谓的literal blank是指类似CET4中的spot dictation的题目,材料和题目完全一样,题目在某些位置挖空,考生只需要把听到的内容还原回题目即可。而雅思听力中的meaning blank则不同。所谓的意义空缺,是基于同义转换的。考生看到的题目和听到的材料在形式上是不完全一样的,题目和原文的匹配程度较低但是在内容上意义相当。所以题目中提供的空缺不一定按照原文的词序语序能直接获取答案,需要考生对题目进行审视,对听力材料进行理解,且需要清晰的解题思路,冷静的思考,才能准确的作答。在这里,新东方网雅思频道建议烤鸭们在平时的学习中注重同义互换的积累和节奏感的训练。
这样一系列的特点决定了考生在雅思听力备考时,一定要把听力水平的提高和技巧的运用结合起来。技巧的运用可以通过课堂的学习迅速掌握,但听力水平的提高是长期努力的结果,非一朝一夕所能达到。

写作学习与备考体会
在老外这里学习写作方面的最大的收获是四点(从强到弱):一是文章的逻辑性,二是少出初中级别的语法错误,三是用几个漂亮的collocation,四是尽量用复杂句。前两个最重要!
关于逻辑性,这一点恐怕是中国学生备考中最缺乏的,因为市面上的一些考试教材,包括各种辅导班的老师都很少提及。逻辑性主要有两点:一是全篇文章要有逻辑,比如先说自己反对一方的观点,然后再反驳之,这点大家应该都能做到。关键是第二点,每一段的各个支撑理由之间,和每个支撑理由内部也要有逻辑性。观点或理由之间应该是logical的链接而不只是用linking词来link。所以,形式上,我的作文也许用first of all,但绝不会再用secondly,thirdly 这样的linker。
另外,少用模板,或者少用中国模板。我曾故意在一篇文章中用了类似这样的“Just like a coin has two sides,this question also has its drawbacks。”那雅思考官老师一看就说你是不是从中国商业书上背下来的,呵呵。

I am writing to inform you that I wish to move into a new room next term. I would prefer a single room, as I find the present sharing arrangement inconvenient.
I must explain that the reason for my dissatisfaction is my roommate’s inconsiderate behavior. For one thing, his friends are constantly visiting him; for another, he regularly holds noisy parties. In addition, he sometimes borrows my things without asking me. In these circumstances, I find it difficult to concentrate on my students, and I am falling behind in my assignments.
I am sure you will agree that the only solution is for me to move into a room of my own, where I will be free from such distractions. Therefore, I would be grateful if you could find a single room for me, preferably not in the same building but as near to the college campus as possible.

Dear Manager,
I have received the $800 cheque which you pay to me as a part-time software programmer in your company during my latest summer vacation. However, I am at a loss why the amount is $ 100 less than you promised to pay me.
It was contracted that a part-time software programmer’s weekly wage is $ 300. I signed the contract with you and consequently worked in your company for a total of 3 weeks. In the period, I went to and from work on time and to your satisfaction, I completed each task that you assigned me without any errors.
Also, no blame about me was ever heard in any aspect. So my total income should be $ 900, which is $ 100 more than that I gained from you. I firmly insist on your kind explanation of the difference and making it up as soon as possible.
Your early reply would be highly appreciated.
Yours sincerely

篇5:雅思听力备考误区
误区一 题海战术
相对而言,听力是雅思听说读写中较易得分,且短时间会有较大提升空间的一门。在备考的过程中,有不少同学十分刻苦,将剑桥雅思一到剑桥雅思九做了个遍,而这个过程中仅仅有很小的进步,比如从5分提高到了5.5分。那就是走入了“题海战术”的误区。
在雅思听力的备考过程中,只需将题目做透即可。所谓“做透”,就是按照以下过程练习每一套雅思听力题:
听一遍完成练习→对答案→看听力原文,总结单词句型→找同义置换词→再听一遍听力原文
有不少同学同一套题做了好多遍,但是第一遍做的时候错哪里,第二遍还是错相同的地方,这就是没有将一套题分析透彻的结果。如果按照上述过程研究一套题,找出错的原因,那么下次遇到类似的题目就会避免犯错。一般来说,听力题出错的原因有以下几点:
单词发音不熟,听到单词或数字时反应慢,写不下来
单词拼写有问题
没有提前看题或没看完题,听时跟不上节奏
同义置换能力弱,识别不出出题点
听时注意力不集中或太紧张
误区二 只靠背机经就能得到一个不错的分数
有些童鞋提出,我们要是把近两年的机经给背了,是不是就可以达到事半功倍效果,如果运气好,正好碰到看过的,就能得到一个好的分数,但是这是运气好的情况下。
通常都建议大家机经还是要看,但是当成词汇书来背,因为正确度先不讨论,它每套题并没有录音,也没有具体的题目。所以最好把它当作词汇书来背,里面有我们要去熟悉的场景,可以见到平时没有见过的场景,并且把当中不会的单词给积累起来。
误区三 重意不重音
听说读写各门考试,单词基础都是非常重要的,而各门考试背单词的方式方法和侧重点都略有区别。作为一门靠耳朵做题的考试,听力考试要求考生们对单词的读音特别熟悉和敏感。
但不少考生平时背单词时只关注单词词形和含义而忽略了读音,虽然在视觉上熟悉了单词,然而等做题时遇到就无法用听觉辨认了。这也是很多考生发现做剑桥题目时老抓不住内容重点,但看了原文后又觉得很简单的原因。
各位童鞋在背单词时一定要以单词的读音为基础。正确掌握单词读音,不仅可以帮助考生记忆单词,还能让考生了解不同字母搭配产生的发音规则,今后遇到不熟悉的单词可以试着拼写。
雅思听力考试流程及解题技巧详解
篇6:雅思听力备考误区
1.PREDICTION
2.DICTATION
3.CHECK
PREDICTION
一 、学会猜测(PREDICTION)
雅思(课程)试卷中有一些是套话,做题时可以省略不用细看。
1 .听力方面
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
All recordings will be played once only.
The test is in four sections. Write your answers in the listening question booklet.
At the end of the test you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
You will see that there is an example, which has been done for you.
On this occasion, only the conversation relating to this will be played first.
2 .阅读方面
You are advised to spend about 20 minutes on the questions based on the reading passage below.
3 .写作方面
You should spend no more than 60 minutes on the two tasks. You should write at least 150 words on Task One, and 250 words on Task Two.
4 .口语方面
Describe this topic. You should include the
following items. Then tell the examiner something more about the topic.
在正式聆听前,您会有时间阅读试卷纸,您应趁这段时间猜测您将会听到的内容。猜测愈准,分数愈高。试猜测会有多少人说话,他们会做什么,说什么和会用什么词。
猜测技巧:
划出路标词
DICTATION
二、仔细听写(DICTATION)
听力测验的第一部份是四部份之中最简单的。您应有心理预备每部份都会比之前的较深。如您的英语(精品课)程度是属于起码中等水平,您通常都会在第一部分取得高分,但紧张或心理未入状态很可能令您在第一部分就失分。
听写技巧:
1.关注所划的路标词,弄清题目的意思,知道应留意什么答案(active)
2.用速记方法记录有用资料或填写答案(shorthand)
3.随时预备答题,进入高度戒备状态
4.留意答案可能会在答案纸上找到
雅思出题原则大总结
1.答案按顺序说出(顺序原则)
注意: 有时答案会在很早的时候,甚至是第1句就出现,有时2个答案会在短时间内接连说出
2.说话人有时会改变主意(修正原则)
3.不要轻易写答案,等听完整句后再填写,答案一般在最后出现(最后原则)
4.重复和强调是考点(重复原则)
5.语音重读的是考点(重读原则)

雅思听力备考指南 数一数那些听力中坑人的关键词
关系词的定义和分类
关系词,即体现句子之间关系的词或词组。也有不少人称之为信号词,或者是连接词。不管在雅思听说读写四门中的任何一门都需要用到这类词,以使得句子更加流畅,句意更加明晰。分析认为,关系词可非分两大类:
1.同向关系词
同向关系词,即用上此类词或词组,句子内部或句子间的方向没有发生改变,只是根据前面的句意进一步延伸和细化。将其归纳为:
举例关系词:for example, for instance, e.g., such as, like, take sth. for example
类比关系词:like, alike, similar, same, as
选择,并列和递进关系词:or, either…or, and, as well, also, besides, apart from, in addition, what‘s more, furthermore, moreover (分号;)
因果关系词:
表示由引起的,后接原因的词或词组:because,because of;as a result of,as a consequence of, due to,result from,be attributed to,be contributed to,arise from, owing to, thanks to,in that
表示导致,后接结果的词或者词组:so,therefore,thus,as a result,as a consequence,lead to,result in,attribute to, contribute to,give rise to,bring about, generate
总结关系词:in conclusion, to conclude, to sum up, in sum, all in all, in brief
2.逆向关系词:
逆向关系词,即用上此类词或词组,句子内部或句子间的方向发生改变,前后句子意思形成相反关系。总结发现,这类词包含:
否定关系词:not,none,no,never,non-,dis-,un-,in-,im-,-less,few,little,hardly,barely,seldom,neither…nor
转折和让步关系词:but,however,yet,nevertheless,nonetheless,in fact,actually,despite,in spite of,although,even though,though
对比关系词:unlike,by contrast,in contrast,on the contrary,conversely
(注:以上各类关系词中所举的例子仅仅只是常见的一部分)

篇8:托福听力备考经验
托福听力备考经验分享丨从4到23的华丽蜕变
背景为高三党,万恶苦逼的高三党啊!一共考了四次:
13年10月20日:16+4+17+16=53(是的没错,你没看错,听力确实就只有4分!)
14年5月25日:21+16+18+24=79
14年9月14日:26+19+20+24=89
14年12月6日:27+23+20+25=95
这里分享一下我托福听力从4分到16分再到23分的逆袭经历。像听力4分这样子要不就是数据传输的时候出了问题,要不就是真的听力够差。我一定是属于后者的…反正我记得我裸考的时候真的是毛都没挨到,也不知道加试是什么。就感觉一直在听,根本停不下来的节奏啊!
从4分到16分,我一开始就听的是官方真题Official听力,听完一遍以后做题,做完题就听写。每句要听5遍差不多才能听出来,而且有的时候是几个单词一断。当时lecture和conversation都会做笔记,而且是听到什么就记什么,像什么哪个哪个teacher啊,数字啊,甚至是about这种简单词也会记。后来事实证明这种做笔记的方法是绝对错误的。二战的时候也恶心到我了,我以为一篇lecture是经典加试,所以很欢乐的在剥手!结果看到题目的时候华丽丽地跪了。
从16到23分这样子,其实一直做的就是精听。同样是在暑假的时候,开始再次准备托福。听力一开始也意识到自己的水平实在太low,乖乖地就先听写了40篇老托。后来发现老托略简单,直接听也能知道professor在说什么,就开始转战精听官方真题Official了。精听也懒啊TTT做完了题以后精听几遍还要看心情。心情好就不怎么听了,心情不好就听了2-3遍,然后同时拨拨手指啊,想点心事,打个瞌睡啊,反正就是走神。所以别学我,我是反例。9月开学以后,我只能每天晚上练听力,听力已经对于我来说是重中之重,晚上要专门花2个半小时听,白天没事的时候也会挂个耳机在耳朵上(其实我觉得白天这样子没什么用)。一到晚上8点15,准时要睡个15分钟再起来继续听。听力绝对对于这种白天在学校苦受老师折磨,身心俱疲的人是催眠剂啊!
我试过各种论坛里大神们说过的方法,加速多少多少倍啊,又是读几十几十遍啊,后期的时候听sss啊。或许这些方法对大神们挺有用的,不得不说在我身上收益甚微。
加速:第一太麻烦,不知道是不是人蠢。总之我在aboboo里面找不到大多数官方真题Official听力的音频和文本,所以太懒也不愿意再去下一个再播放。第二不得不说听完加速以后再听原速的很爽,但是原速的总让我觉得慢得有点奇怪,好想让他说快一点。
跟读:有看到很多人说过,一旦跟上了professor,你就能听懂很多,也会适应她的语速。这是对的,但是,第一浪费时间,读多了没那么多时间,读少了又没什么作用,效率太低。第二,我在我身上看到的作用是嘴皮子变快了好多而已。对听力帮助不是特别大。
SSS:这种大神听力,我这种小渣渣是高攀不起的唉。
做笔记方法
我的方法是conversation不记,因为一记就会漏掉很多东西。反正就那么3分钟,也不会走神到哪里去。Lecture会做笔记,但是是有目标地去做。在professor的信号词出现后,就会狂记不已。当然,还是以听为主。平时精听,听清楚每一个句子,连接词。也要分析出题点,这样就能找到信号词。像什么pro加重语气,提出一个新term,转折,下结论。这些都是很重要的,如果在听的时候就知道这是重点的话,就不会毫无方向。
托福阅读真题原题+题目
The term folk song has been current for over a hundred years, but there is still a good deal of disagreement as to what it actually means. The definition provided by the International Folk Music Council states that folk music is the music of ordinary people, which is passed on from person to person by being listened to rather than learned from the printed page. Other factors that help shape a folk song include: continuity (many performances over a number of years); variation (changes in words and melodies either through artistic interpretation or failure of memory); and selection (the acceptance of a song by the community in which it evolves).
When songs have been subjected to these processes their origin is usually impossible to trace. For instance, if a farm laborer were to make up a song and sing it to a-couple of friends who like it and memorize it, possibly when the friends come to sing it themselves one of them might forget some of the words and make up new ones to fill the gap, while the other, perhaps more artistic, might add a few decorative touches to the tune and improve a couple of lines of text. If this happened a few times there would be many different versions, the song's original composer would be forgotten, and the song would become common property. This constant reshaping and re-creation is the essence of folk music. Consequently, modem popular songs and other published music, even though widely sung by people who are not professional musicians, are not considered folk music. The music and words have been set by a printed or recorded source, limiting scope for further artistic creation. These songs' origins cannot be disguised and therefore they belong primarily to the composer and not to a community.
The ideal situation for the creation of folk music is an isolated rural community. In such a setting folk songs and dances have a special purpose at every stage in a person's life, from childhood to death. Epic tales of heroic deeds, seasonal songs relating to calendar events, and occupational songs are also likely to be sung.

托福阅读真题原题+题目
Often enough the craft worker's place of employment in ancient Greece was set in rural isolation. Potter, for instance, found it convenient to locate their workshops near their source of clay, regardless of its relation to the center of settlement. At Corinth and Athens, however, two of the best-known potters' quarters were situated on the cities' outskirts, and potters and makers of terra-cotta figurines were also established well within the city of Athens itself. The techniques of pottery manufacture had evolved well before the Greek period, but marked stylistic developments occurred in shape and in decoration, for example, in the interplay of black and other glazes with the red surface of the fired pot. Athenian black-figure and red-figure decoration, which emphasized human figures rather than animal images, was adopted between 630 and 530 B.C.; its distinctive color and luster were the result of the skillful adjustments of the kiln's temperature during an extended three-stage period if firing the clayware. Whether it was the potters or the vase-painters who initiated changes in firing is unclear, the functions of making and decorating were usually divided between them, but neither group can have been so specialized that they did not share in the concerns of the other.
The broad utility of terra-cotta was such that workers in clay could generally afford to confine themselves to either decorated ware and housewares like cooking pots and storage jars or building materials like roof tiles and drainpipes. Some sixth- and fifth-century B.C. Athenian pottery establishments are known to have concentrated on a limited range of fine ware, but a rural pottery establishment on the island of Thasos produced many types of pottery and roof tiles too, presumably to meet local demand. Molds were used to create particular effects for some products, such as relief-decorated vessels and figurines; for other products such as roof tiles, which were in some quantity, they were used to facilitate mass production. There were also a number of poor-quality figurines and painted pots produced in quantity by easy, inexpensive means — as numerous featureless statuettes and unattractive cases testify.
