Whenever we turn on the TV, look through a newspaper or even walk along the street, advertisements will jump into our sight and be impressive. It seems certain that we can never do or live without them. If asked whether their advantages far outweigh their disadvantages, I would say “by all means”.To begin with, advertisements do add spice to our daily lives. For one thing, with advertisements, we are now blessed with a great deal of the latest information, thus making it possible for us to compare and contrast the qualities of different products supplied in the market and to purchase the best ones at reasonable prices. For another, many advertisements are full of highly artistic values, such as witty slogans and wonderful pictures. By watching them, not only can we get relaxed and entertained, but we can get educated. Therefore, our lives will be made more colorful, convenient and comfortable.What’s more, advertisements contribute to the economic development. To be sure, advertisements can create a fairer environment for commercial communication and help the producers to grasp the opportunity to compete for the lion’s share of the market. Also, advertisements are a vital source of governmental revenue. It is due to various kinds of advertisements that the government can lay a solid foundation for its economic development.Finally, advertisements are positive to the cultural diversity. As we all know, advertisements can mirror cultures. By watching various colorful advertisements, Chinese people have got a golden opportunity to have a deeper understanding of western cultures. Some breath-taking advertising slogans such as “ask for more”; “good to the last drop”; “intelligence everywhere”; “no business too small, no problem too big” and “the taste is great” are all familiar to Chinese people. Also, the cultural values presented in these advertisements are shared, praised and appreciated by an increasing number of people in China. Thus, misunderstanding and prejudice can be removed and the cultural diversity can be realized.Although it cannot be denied that advertisements are never without their demerits such as cheating information, exaggeration of products’ functions and so on, their merits obviously far outweigh their demerits. Their demerits can be removed step by step when some feasible measures are adopted. Thus, it is no overstatement to say that a life without advertisements is inconceivable to a modern person.2.We having entered the 21st century, the world is witnessing many earth-shaking changes. However, some severe problems are being brought to our attention. Frankly speaking, I am always amazed when I hear people say that we should be optimistic to the 21st century. From my point of view, there is much to be done to make the world better.The dazzling development of technology is a good case in point. With technology accelerating, advances and challenges go side by side. Computers have released people from hard manual work, but they have also encouraged people to live in a virtual world. The Internet has provided people with a colorful world, but it has also given rise to new types of crimes. Media have reshaped the way people obtain information, but they have also been responsible for people’s laziness and inactive thinking. Mobile phones have promoted people’s communication and connection, but they have also invaded people’s privacy. Private cars have made it easy for us to move from one place to another, thus saving our precious time, but they have also polluted the environment and killed millions of people. The utilization of nuclear power has to a considerable degree relieved energy crisis, but it has also posed threat to the world peace. Another vivid example to be illustrated is the progress of economy. On the one hand, with the world economy booming, our lives have been made more comfortable and the world peace, it seems, has showed promise. On the other hand, this trend has also polarized the wealth distribution. Some people are getting richer and richer, while others are getting poorer and poorer. Clear is that the rich’s superiority and the poor’s hatred will definitely result from this imbalance of wealth distribution.If I were asked what changes should be in the 21st century, my answers would go as follows. In the first place, I hope that there will be long-lasting peace rather than war. Second of all, I hope that there will be less pollution and starvation. In addition, I hope that everybody can enjoy high-quality education and be oneself. Finally, I hope that cultural differences should be respected and discrimination will be eliminated thoroughly.As Charles Dickens once wrote: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”. Maybe, this is the real world in which we live.3.The fantastic development of computers has made it possible for people to live better than ever possible before. It seems that people can never do without them. One good illustration is that with computers updating, all kinds of languages can now be translated by computers. Some people even hold the opinion that with this, children do not need to learn foreign languages. The argument seems reasonable, but speaking for myself, I totally disagree with it.The quality of computer translation cannot be ensured. It is clear that computers can only translate literally or word by word. Sometimes, we find ourselves confused by the head-scratching puzzlement about what they really want to tell. What makes matters worse is that machine translation is used in literature and science translation. The prime of some masterpieces can never be appreciatedand some facts may be distorted.Additionally, a foreign language is always closely related to a country’s cultures and customs. To study a foreign language well, one is supposed to not only focus on language learning itself, but also attach importance to a country’s cultures and customs from which the language stem. This practice can only be experienced by a learner himself/herself. Computer translation, in this case, settles nothing and cannot replace people’s own efforts.The charm of a language also lies in the fact that it is a precious gift of human beings. When studying a foreign language, students can develop their intelligence, stimulate their imagination and creativity, form a good habit of industry and strengthen their confidence. The process of learning a foreign language is actually the way to cultivate students’ all-around development. Computer translation, however wonderful it is, can never play such a role in this process.Eye-catching as computer translation may seem, it is by no means a cure-all solution. Maybe, with it, students can study a foreign language better. However, it cannot replace the role of students in learning a foreign language. After all, it is human beings who are the master of languages.4.As the pace of educational industrialization speeds up, the debate on tuition gets increasingly heated. Some conclude that college students should bear total expenses for their higher learning on the generalization that college graduates usually receive higher salaries for similar jobs than those without a college degree. We cannot deny that higher level of education, indeed, does associate with better income. Still, built on such fact alone, the conclusion remains questionable.The whole argument in question rests on an assumption that it is always the case that people with higher education make more money than those less well-educated. However, salary or income is, in most cases, based on contributions made by employees to companies or organizations in which they work. Statistics in the labor market indicate that people with professional training tend to find jobs easier than college graduates do and that blue-collar workers who do not hold college degrees are becoming the hotties in the labor market. Employers prefer to hire and pay more to highly skilled and specially trained people rather than fresh college graduates. In the auto industry, for instance, skilled technicians make two or three times more than their college educated counterparts who make the average salaries in other companies. And it is widely accepted that people’s income is determined more by talent, hard work, and willingness to take risks than solely by certain qualifications such as college education. Otherwise, the unemployment rate of college graduates would not be increasing every year and the rule of supply and demand will lose much of power in controlling the labor market. Admittedly, in some knowledge extensive fields such as research, teaching, and practice of law the labor force primarily consists of highly educated professionals. But such people make up only a fraction of the labor market and are thus unrepresentative of the whole employment in general.Considering the goal of education, we find that it is even more problematic for the country to throw all the responsibility of financing college education to college students. The goal of higher education of a nation is to improve and strengthen the general level of intellectual and professional capacity of its labor force, thereby increasing the competency of the nation in the global economy. As tax payers, parents all contributes to the education system and country in various ways. It is only reasonable and necessary that the country gives some forms of financialassistance to students to ease the burden of rising education costs. Such help should go not only to students from needy or impoverished families but also to outstanding students from affluent backgrounds. Doing so can significantly boost the motivation of children from millions of families to engage in higher level of study. It is understandable that the general quality of people in a country will improve and its economy will benefit both now and in years to follow.If the burden of supporting children’s higher education is dumped on parents and students, thousands of brilliant students will be deprived of chances to pursue their academic inspiration. Among those who suffer would definitely be future great scientists, business managers, artists and statesmen. The loss will be disastrous and irreversible.In conclusion, the idea that students should also pay the full cost of their study is wrong and harmful because it is wrong to assume that higher education necessarily equalizes high income. Moreover, it is in the best interest of a nation to take responsibility in financing college education so that the goal of higher education will be better met.5.Rituals, rites, religions, and custom vary considerably from culture to culture and from country to country. They are rich in contents and brilliant and colorful in forms. But, should one adopt the local custom when subject to an alien culture and custom? The seemingly simple question is virtually rather vexing in that the answer to which depends to a large extent on a variety of contributing factors. Among these factors, the pattern and nature of the culture plays a dominant role.Cultures are generally classified into two categories: folk culture and public culture. The former refers to a culture that emphasizes the personal relationships in settling affaires. In such a culture laws are eclipsed by custom and moral in the maintenance of social order. People pay even meticulous attention to the custom. Any break of the custom is considered as unacceptable as regicidal behavior or commitment of some felony. Thus when one visitor is in such a culture, it would be better for him or her to “Do As Romans Do When in Rome.” In a certain sense, to adopt the local custom is a way for an alien to survive or at least the prerequisite of living.“Public culture” is coined to refer an ethnic group whose social order is maintained by legal instruments, although custom is emphasized. But custom in such a culture seldom remains unchanged for a relatively long time. Within decades, some custom may even have “gone with the wind”. People generally are like to accept different ways of doing things or thinking. Each individual is highly respected. Under such circumstance, it is usually unnecessary for a visitor to calculatedly follow the natives’ custom. Even the new comer preserves all his or her own custom or culture when exposed to an entirely different custom, it is safe for the visitor to do whatever he or she wants to do provided it is legal.Put it simply, in a public culture it is unnecessary to adopt the local new custom. But in a folk culture, things are totally different. To follow the local custom is a must.6.Although a slight mention of the past pastoral life arouses a nostalgia and reminiscent beauty, which is unexceptionally characterized by isolation and somewhat disconsolation, various and frequent communications in business, education, scientific research, and even the daily life are flooding the existent values, ideas, and ideals. Inevitably, this social phenomenon provokes a storm of commendation and criticism as well. As I see it, it is beneficial.Frequent communications in various fields among cultures and people undoubtedly benefit individuals‘ life. Almost every citizen becomes the beneficiary of the communications. People around the world today are able to enjoy otherwise unavailable products and services. For instance, it is due to the international communication in business that people in China can possess such high-quality products as Mercedes Benz from Germany, Zenith watch from Switzerland, and IBM computers. All these cases demonstrate one thing: communications contribute human beings.Not only are diverse array of communications in the international spectrum positive to individuals, they also have been exerting significant favorable influences on family life. It was virtually incredible to imagine an international family five decades ago, but today on account of the rapid development of communications and transportations, religion and racial discriminations have almost entirely “gone with the wind”. It is no longer an “abnormal” thing that a Chinese husband with a Japanese wife. Such international family, as scientific research warrants, is a welcome development in terms of both biological and political elements.In fact, the advantages of communications are also shaping and reflecting the general human civilization development. If God, as Bible says, created different languages among men, then men all over the world today are able to work together, pray together, and struggle for freedom together. The communications are actually a process of globalization. This is the trend of sustainable development. With communications, people become brothers and sisters rather than enemies. With communications, there will be peace rather than war. With communications, the mundane mortals will eventually retrieve the paradise that our forefathers lost and get renascence.Admittedly, the communications might have some negative influences. But the advantages far outweighthe disadvantages. Therefore, the communications should be advocated and encouraged with the utmost enthusiasm.7.Buildings have been playing a predominant role in human history. Various buildings have recordedthe history, mirrored diverse cultures and enriched people’s spiritual life. I am always amazed when I hear people saying that old buildings should be ruined and give way to new ones. Some may argue that ‘the newer, the better’ should be a prevailing trend in contemporary society. As for me, nothing is further from the truth than this opinion.In the first place, old buildings contribute considerably to the economic development. Nowadays, international tourism is booming. Many people travel abroad, expanding their horizon of knowledgeor relaxing themselves. In another country, museums and some old buildings are usually people’s first and foremost choice. By watching these old buildings, visitors usually have a better understanding of the country they visit. If these old buildings are torn down, visitors will definitely be disappointed. Thus, as for a country’s economy, it is better to preserve these old buildings, so as to attract more tourists.In the second place, old buildings reflect cultures. For each period of history, different buildings give a vivid illustration of different countries’ cultures. In this sense, every old building emphasizes historical context and records the specific customs different peoples once followed.If these old buildings are destroyed, all the cultures, customs and tradition embodied by theseold buildings will be gone with the wind. It is unforgivable for people to replace old buildings with new ones.In the third place, old buildings enrich people’s spiritual life and sometimes, they are evena mental signal of a country. Every country is proud of its uniqueness and national spirit. Arraysof colorful old buildings are usually the places where a country chooses to have ceremonies and celebrations. The importance of Eiffel Tower to France, Crystal Palace to Britain, and the ForbiddenCity to China can never be stressed out too much. It is hard to imagine these world-renowned buildings make way for new buildings. Old as they are, they are more than buildings from this angle.Above all, a conclusion can be made that old buildings cannot be replaced by new buildings not only from historical and cultural perspective, but from economic consideration. Thus, I am firmly convinced that old buildings will still play an indispensable part in the future.8.Having entered the 21st century, we are now blessed with numerous opportunities and confronted with arrays of problems. Water scarcity is obviously one of them. As far as I am concerned, its causes should be found out and some possible solutions should be outlined before things get worse.It is apparent that many factors give rise to water shortage and the three following ones are vital.To begin with, overpopulation is a crucial cause. We having embarked upon a new millennium, population all over the world is witnessing a tremendous increase, both in developed countries and in developing countries. As population soars, the demand for water is greater than ever possible before. Thus, the balance between supply and demand of water is undermined.What’s more, over-industrialization is also a critical reason to be mentioned. As technology speeds up, industrialization seems to be an unavoidable trend in the world. It seems terrific, but at the same time, it consumes a great amount of water and engenders severe pollution. It is often reported in newspapers that a once clean lake is now contaminated by a factory and water is not drinkable any more.Last of all, people’s lack of awareness of water preservation is the third element to be noted. It seems certain that many people fail to take into account the importance of protecting water resource. In their minds, water resource is unlimited. Misuse of water also accounts for why water scarcity is so serious.To solve this problem, people think up various solutions. As I see it, the three following ones are worth mentioning. In the first place, the government should set down relevant laws to reserve water resource. In the second place, technology should be made full use of to change undrinkable water into fresh water, so as to meet people’s ever-growing demand for water. In the third place, the role of media should be played to the full to arouse people’s consciousness of water reservation. All in all, measures should be taken immediately to prevent things from going worse. Otherwise, the predication that the last drop of water we see is the tear is by no means intimidating.9.The world has become a global village and education has aroused people’s attention. At present, it is no longer a ‘mission impossible’ for more and more young people to study abroad. However, there is no yet agreement on the question whether studying overseas is a positive or negative practice. From my perspective, it is advantageous.To be true, studying overseas may have some drawbacks. To begin with, children who study abroad may suffer from some psychological illnesses. When in a country with totally different cultures, custom and lifestyles, many young people cannot adapt themselves to them. Disorientation, loneliness, homesickness and depression are all price they pay for their studying abroad. What is even serious is that some young people may become isolated, eccentric and unsociable. Another point to be mentioned is that some young people may be led astray or even embark on the criminal road when in other countries. Far from home and without their parents’ supervision and care, many young people, due to their inexperience and gullibility, are probably affected by evil-doers. It is reported that some oversea students may take drug, be alcoholic or even commit crimes.However, as far as I am concerned, the advantages of studying overseas outweigh its disadvantages. The first merit of this practice is that there are numerous academic benefits. An undeniable fact is that science, technology and knowledge students acquire abroad are more advanced. So, it is worth every penny students pay. What is even more appealing is that in the process of acquiring advanced knowledge, students are blessed with an opportunity to experience a totally different。

书中讨论到了由Geaorge Lozanov提出的一个理论,那就是暗示的力量。
Lozanov的教学技巧主要基于这样的证据:在无意识状态下(他称此为非特异性心理反应)大脑所作出的各种联系要比在有意识状态下作出的持续更长时间。
除了实验室证据可以证明这一点之外,我们自身的经历也表明我们通常会记住自己所观察到的周边信息,而忘记最开始的学习目的。
回想一下几个月前或是几年前学过的课本,会发现我们能够轻易地回想起一些无关紧要的细节,比如书的颜色、装订、字体或是我们当时在图书馆阅读此书时做过的桌子,而不是回想起当时我们集中精力所看的课本的内容。
再试着回想一下我们曾经认真聆听过的讲座,较之应该听到的演讲主题而言,我们会更容易回想起演讲者的容貌和举止风度,我们在报告厅的位置甚至是当时坏掉的空调。
及时这些周边细节是比较容易忘掉的,但在催眠状态下,或是当我们像演心理剧那样在想象中重温当时的情景时,这些周边信息就能很快的被回想起来。
而另一方面,演讲内容的细节信息早就被抛到九霄云外去了。
这种现象的产生有一部分归因于常见的起反作用效果的学习方法(拼尽全力去记忆,令肌肉紧张,最终导致疲惫)。
但同时它也恰恰反映出大脑运转的方式。
据此Lozanov建立了他教育系统的核心:间接教学法,也叫暗示法。
在他称之为暗示教学法(suggestopedia)的方法中,学生的注意力被从本该集中精力学习的课程上转移到了外部信息上。
这样课程本身就成了外部信息,由此就可以被大脑的储备功能来处理。

雅思阅读7分技巧分享
雅思阅读7分技巧分享如何备考雅思阅读呢?雅思阅读7分有哪些技巧。
下面就和大家分享雅思阅读7分技巧分享,希望能够帮助到大家,一起来学习吧!雅思阅读7分技巧分享首先,最根本的造成考生不能顺利取得雅思阅读7分的原因还是考生的英语基本功不扎实。
考生想要在考试过程中游刃有余,首先必须具备一定的词汇量。
这其中还包括很多考生所不熟悉的比较专业的术语。
除此之外,扎实的语法知识也是考生是否能取得高分的一个基本原因。
参加过考试的考生就会发现,在雅思考试中碰到长难句是常有的事情。
没有一定的语法基础考生没有办法正确理解*的意义甚至题目的意义。
除了词汇和语法之外,考生如果想在考试当中取得不错的分数还需要对于英语的*结构有一定的了解,这样有助于考生节约定位时间及增加定位准确性。
如考生经常会遇到的试验研究类雅思阅读*。
开始会介绍这个实验的一些基本情况,如试验主体、试验对象等等,接着会介绍试验的具体操作过程,然后是实验的结果,及最终的数据结论。
考生如果熟知此类*的结构,那么答题的过程必将被更快更好的完成。
在雅思阅读基本功扎实的基础上,考生如果对题型技巧及出题角度不熟悉,同样也会影响考生最后顺利地取得高分。
雅思阅读考试的题型多变,有细节题,有大意题,有考察整体理解的题型,也有考察辨别信息能力的题型。
各种题型的解题方式也不尽相同。
包括学员的解题顺序也不一定就按照雅思考试考题的顺序。
比如常见的细节段落配对题。
此种题型往往是*的第一个大题,但是考生恰恰需要把这种题型放到最后去完成。
理由很明显,在解答完其他的题目之后,考生会对于*有更加全面的理解,解答的正确性会增加。
同时,其他完成的题目中也有可能出现和此种题型中的题目出题点重复的情况,所以把这种题型放在最后做是比较经济的做法,既节约了定位时间,又增加了正确性。
在这里需要再提醒广大考生的是,想要取得高分,在掌握每种题型的解题技巧的同时,还需要研究的是考试的出题角度,研究各种题型考察的是何种能力,然后有针对性的去锻炼这方面的能力。

剑桥雅思阅读7(test1)真题解析为了帮助大家更好地备考雅思阅读,下面小编给大家分享剑桥雅思阅读7真题及答案解析(test1),希望对你们有用。
剑桥雅思阅读7原文(test1)READING PASSAGE 1You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.Let’s Go BatsA Bats have a problem: how to find their way around in the dark. They hunt at night, and cannot use light to help them find prey and avoid obstacles. You might say that this is a problem of their own making, one that they could avoid simply by changing their habits and hunting by day. But the daytime economy is already heavily exploited by other creatures such as birds. Given that there is a living to be made at night, and given that alternative daytime trades are thoroughly occupied, natural selection has favoured bats that make a go of the night-hunting trade. It is probable that the nocturnal trades go way back in the ancestry of all mammals. In the time when the dinosaurs dominated the daytime economy, our mammalian ancestors probably only managed to survive at all because they found ways of scraping a living at night. Only after the mysterious mass extinction of the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago were our ancestors able to emerge into the daylight in any substantial numbers.B Bats have an engineering problem: how to find their way and find their prey in the absence of light. Bats are not the only creatures to face this difficulty today. Obviously the night-flying insects that they prey on must find their way about somehow.Deep-sea fish and whales have little or no light by day or by night. Fish and dolphins that live in extremely muddy water cannot see because, although there is light, it is obstructed and scattered by the dirt in the water. Plenty of other modern animals make their living in conditions where seeing is difficult or impossible.C Given the questions of how to manoeuvre in the dark, what solutions might an engineer consider? The first one that might occur to him is to manufacture light, to use a lantern or a searchlight. Fireflies and some fish (usually with the help of bacteria) have the power to manufacture their own light, but the process seems to consume a large amount of energy. Fireflies use their light for attracting mates. This doesn’t req uire a prohibitive amount of energy: a male’s tiny pinprick of light can be seen by a female from some distance on a dark night, since her eyes are exposed directly to the light source itself. However, using light to find one’s own way around requires vast ly more energy, since the eyes have to detect the tiny fraction of the light that bounces off each part of the scene. The light source must therefore be immensely brighter if it is to be used as a headlight to illuminate the path, than if it is to be used as a signal to others. In any event, whether or not the reason is the energy expense, it seems to be the case that, with the possible exception of some weird deep-sea fish, no animal apart from man uses manufactured light to find its way about.D What else might the engineer think of? Well, blind humans sometimes seem to have an uncanny sense of obstacles in their path. It has been given the name ‘facial vision’, because blind people have reported that it feels a bit like the sense of touch, on the face. One report tells of a totally blind boy who could ride his tricycle at good speed round the block near his home, using facialvision. Experiments showed that, in fact, facial vision is nothing to do with touch or the front of the face, although the sensation may be referred to the front of the face, like the referred pain in a phantom limb. The sensation of facial vision, it turns out, really goes in through the ears. Blind people, without even being aware of the fact, are actually using echoes of their own footsteps and of other sounds, to sense the presence of obstacles. Before this was discovered, engineers had already built instruments to exploit the principle, for example to measure the depth of the sea under a ship. After this technique had been invented, it was only a matter of time before weapons designers adapted it for the detection of submarines. Both sides in the Second World War relied heavily on these devices, under such codenames as Asdic (British) and Sonar (American), as well as Radar (American) or RDF (British), which uses radio echoes rather than sound echoes.E The Sonar and Radar pioneers didn’t know it then, but all the world now knows that bats, or rather natural selection working on bats, had perfected the system tens of millions of years earlier, and their ‘radar’ achieves feats of detection and navigation that would strike an engineer dumb with admiration. It is technically incorrect to talk about bat ‘radar’, since they do not use radio waves. It is sonar. But the underlying mathematical theories of radar and sonar are very similar, and much of our scientific understanding of the details of what bats are doing has come from applying radar theory to them. The American zoologist Donald Griffin, who was largely responsible for the discovery of sonar in bats, coined the term ‘echolocation’ to cover both sonar and radar, whether used by animals or by human instruments.Questions 1-5Reading Passage 1 has five paragraphs, A-E.Which paragraph contains the following information?Write the correct letter, A-E, in boxes 1-5 on your answer sheet.NB You may use any letter more than once.1 examples of wildlife other than bats which do not rely on vision to navigate by2 how early mammals avoided dying out3 why bats hunt in the dark4 how a particular discovery has helped our understanding of bats5 early military uses of echolocationQuestions 6-9Complete the summary below.Choose ONE WORD ONLY from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 6-9 on your answer sheet.Facial VisionBlind people report that so-called ‘facial vision’ is comparable to the sensation of touch on the face.

As towns gradually expanded, water was brought from increasingly remote sources, leading to sophisticated engineering efforts such as dams and aqueducts. At the height of the Roman Empire, nine major systems, with an innovative layout of pipes and well-built sewers, supplied the occupants of Rome with as much water per person as is provided in many parts of the industrial world today.B During the industrial revolution and population explosion of the 19th and 20th centuries, the demand for water rose dramatically. Unprecedented construction of tens of thousands of monumental engineering projects designed to control floods, protect clean water supplies, and provide water for irrigation and hydropower brought great benefits to hundreds of millions of people. Food production has kept pace with soaring populations mainly because of the expansion of artificial irrigation systems that make possible the growth of 40 % of the world’s food. Nearly one fifth of all the electricity generated worldwide is produced by turbines spun by the power of falling water.C Yet there is a dark side to this picture: despite our progress,half of the world’s population still suffers, with water services inferior to those available to the ancient Greeks and Romans. As the United Nations report on access to water reiterated in November 2001, more than one billion people lack access to clean drinking water; some two and a half billion do not have adequate sanitation services. Preventable water-related diseases kill an estimated 10,000 to 20,000 children every day, and the latest evidence suggests that we are falling behind in efforts to solve these problems.D The consequences of our water policies extend beyond jeopardising human health. Tens of millions of people have been forced to move from their homes — often with little warning or compensation — to make way for the reservoirs behind dams. More than 20 % of all freshwater fish species are now threatened or endangered because dams and water withdrawals have destroyed the free-flowing river ecosystems where they thrive. Certain irrigation practices degrade soil quality and reduce agricultural productivity. Groundwater aquifers_are being pumped down faster than they are naturally replenished in parts of India, China, the USA and elsewhere. And disputes over shared water resources have led to violence and continue to raise local, national and even international tensions._underground stores of waterE At the outset of the new millennium, however, the way resource planners think about water is beginning to change. The focus is slowly shifting back to the provision of basic human and environmental needs as top priority —ensuring ‘some for all,’ instead of ‘more for some’. Some water experts are no w demanding that existing infrastructure be used in smarter ways rather than building new facilities, which is increasinglyconsidered the option of last, not first, resort. This shift in philosophy has not been universally accepted, and it comes with strong opposition from some established water organisations. Nevertheless, it may be the only way to address successfully the pressing problems of providing everyone with clean water to drink, adequate water to grow food and a life free from preventable water-related illness.F Fortunately — and unexpectedly — the demand for water is not rising as rapidly as some predicted. As a result, the pressure to build new water infrastructures has diminished over the past two decades. Although population, industrial output and economic productivity have continued to soar in developed nations, the rate at which people withdraw water from aquifers, rivers and lakes has slowed. And in a few parts of the world, demand has actually fallen.G What explains this remarkable turn of events? Two factors: people have figured out how to use water more efficiently, and communities are rethinking their priorities for water use. Throughout the first three-quarters of the 20th century, the quantity of freshwater consumed per person doubled on average; in the USA, water withdrawals increased tenfold while the population quadrupled. But since 1980, the amount of water consumed per person has actually decreased, thanks to a range of new technologies that help to conserve water in homes and industry. In 1965, for instance, Japan used approximately 13 million gallons_of water to produce $1 million of commercial output; by 1989 this had dropped to 3.5 million gallons (even accounting for inflation) —almost a quadrupling of water productivity. In the USA, water withdrawals have fallen by more than 20 % from their peak in 1980.H On the other hand, dams, aqueducts and other kinds of infrastructure will still have to be built, particularly in developing countries where basic human needs have not been met. But such projects must be built to higher specifications and with more accountability to local people and their environment than in the past. And even in regions where new projects seem warranted, we must find ways to meet demands with fewer resources, respecting ecological criteria and to a smaller budget.Questions 21-26Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 2?In boxes 21-26 on your answer sheet, writeYES if the statement agrees with the claims of the writerNO if the statement contradicts the claims of the writerNOT GIVEN if it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about this21 Water use per person is higher in the industrial world than it was in Ancient Rome.22 Feeding increasing populations is possible due primarily to improved irrigation systems.23 Modern water systems imitate those of the ancient Greeks and Romans.24 Industrial growth is increasing the overall demand for water.25 Modern technologies have led to a reduction in domestic water consumption.26 In the future, governments should maintain ownership of water infrastructures.READING PASSAGE 3You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 27-40,which are based on Reading Passage 3 below.EDUCATING PSYCHEEducating Psyche by Bernie Neville is a book which looks at radical new approaches to learning, describing the effects of emotion, imagination and the unconscious on learning. One theory discussed in the book is that proposed by George Lozanov, which focuses on the power of suggestion.Lozanov’s instructional technique is based on the evidence that the connections made in the brain through unconscious processing (which he calls non-specific mental reactivity) are more durable than those made through conscious processing. Besides the laboratory evidence for this, we know from our experience that we often remember what we have perceived peripherally, long after we have forgotten what we set out to learn. If we think of a book we studied months or years ago, we will find it easier to recall peripheral details —the colour, the binding, the typeface, the table at the library where we sat while studying it — than the content on which we were concentrating. If we think of a lecture we listened to with great concentration, we will recall the lecturer’s appearance and mannerisms, our place in the auditorium, the failure of the air-conditioning, much more easily than the ideas we went to learn. Even if these peripheral details are a bit elusive, they come back readily in hypnosis or when we relive the event imaginatively, as in psychodrama. The details of the content of the lecture, on the other hand, seem to have gone forever.This phenomenon can be partly attributed to the common counterproductive approach to study (making extreme efforts to memorise, tensing muscles, inducing fatigue), but it also simply reflects the way the brain functions. Lozanov therefore madeindirect instruction (suggestion) central to his teaching system. In suggestopedia, as he called his method, consciousness is shifted away from the curriculum to focus on something peripheral. The curriculum then becomes peripheral and is dealt with by the reserve capacity of the brain.The suggestopedic approach to foreign language learning provides a good illustration. In its most recent variant (1980), it consists of the reading of vocabulary and text while the class is listening to music. The first session is in two parts. In the first part, the music is classical (Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms) and the teacher reads the text slowly and solemnly, with attention to the dynamics of the music. The students follow the text in their books. This is followed by several minutes of silence. In the second part, they listen to baroque music (Bach, Corelli, Handel) while the teacher reads the text in a normal speaking voice. During this time they have their books closed. During the whole of this session, their attention is passive; they listen to the music but make no attempt to learn the material.Beforehand, the students have been carefully prepared for the language learning experience. Through meeting with the staff and satisfied students they develop the expectation that learning will be easy and pleasant and that they will successfully learn several hundred words of the foreign language during the class. In a preliminary talk, the teacher introduces them to the material to be c overed, but does not ‘teach’ it. Likewise, the students are instructed not to try to learn it during this introduction.Some hours after the two-part session, there is a follow-up class at which the students are stimulated to recall the material presented. Once again the approach is indirect. The students donot focus their attention on trying to remember the vocabulary, but focus on using the language to communicate (e.g. through games or improvised dramatisations). Such methods are not unusual in language teaching. What is distinctive in the suggestopedic method is that they are devoted entirely to assisting recall. The ‘learning’ of the material is assumed to be automatic and effortless, accomplished while listening to music. The teacher’s task is to assi st the students to apply what they have learned paraconsciously, and in doing so to make it easily accessible to consciousness. Another difference from conventional teaching is the evidence that students can regularly learn 1000 new words of a foreign language during a suggestopedic session, as well as grammar and idiom.Lozanov experimented with teaching by direct suggestion during sleep, hypnosis and trance states, but found such procedures unnecessary. Hypnosis, yoga, Silva mind-control, religious ceremonies and faith healing are all associated with successful suggestion, but none of their techniques seem to be essential to it. Such rituals may be seen as placebos. Lozanov acknowledges that the ritual surrounding suggestion in his own system is also a placebo, but maintains that without such a placebo people are unable or afraid to tap the reserve capacity of their brains. Like any placebo, it must be dispensed with authority to be effective. Just as a doctor calls on the full power of autocratic suggestion by insisting that the patient take precisely this white capsule precisely three times a day before meals, Lozanov is categoric in insisting that the suggestopedic session be conducted exactly in the manner designated, by trained and accredited suggestopedic teachers.While suggestopedia has gained some notoriety throughsuccess in the teaching of modern languages, few teachers are able to emulate the spectacular results of Lozanov and his associates. We can, perhaps, attribute mediocre results to an inadequate placebo effect. The students have not developed the appropriate mind set. They are often not motivated to learn through this method. They do not have enough ‘faith’. They do not see it as ‘real teaching’, especially as it does not seem to involve the ‘work’ they have learned to believe is essential to learning.Questions 27-30Choose the correct letter, A, B, C or D.Write the correct letter in boxes 27-30 on your answer sheet.27 The book Educating Psyche is mainly concerned withA the power of suggestion in learning.B a particular technique for learning based on emotions.C the effects of emotion on the imagination and the unconscious.D ways of learning which are not traditional.28 Lozanov’s theory claims that, when we try to remember things,A unimportant details are the easiest to recallB concentrating hard produces the best results.C the most significant facts are most easily recalled.D peripheral vision is not important.29 In this passage, the author uses the examples of a book and a lecture to illustrate thatA both of these are important for developing concentration.B his theory about methods of learning is valid.C reading is a better technique for learning than listening.D we can remember things more easily under hypnosis.30 Lozanov claims that teachers should train students toA memorise details of the curriculum.B develop their own sets of indirect instructions.C think about something other than the curriculum content.D avoid overloading the capacity of the brain.Questions 31-36Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 37In boxes 31-36 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this31 In the example of suggestopedic teaching in the fourth paragraph, the only variable that changes is the music.32 Prior to the suggestopedia class, students are made aware that the language experience will be demanding.33 In the follow-up class, the teaching activities are similar to those used in conventional classes.34 As an indirect benefit, students notice improvements in their memory.35 Teachers say they prefer suggestopedia to traditional approaches to language teaching.36 Students in a suggestopedia class retain more new vocabulary than those in ordinary classes.Questions 37-40Complete the summary using the list of words, A-K, below.Write the correct letter, A-K, in boxes 37-40 on your answer sheet.Suggestopedia uses a less direct method of suggestion than other techniques such as hypnosis.

雅思阅读目标7分的你所必须掌握的解题基本技
雅思阅读目标7分的你所必须掌握的解题基本技在雅思的四科里,阅读是重中之重,如果阅读不上7,那么分数很可能只能在6分线上徘徊。
下面给大家带来了雅思阅读目标7分的你所必须掌握的解题基本技能,希望能够帮助到大家,下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。
雅思阅读目标7分的你所必须掌握的解题基本技能划关键词:我们需要彻底理解每道题的题干部分,划出重点词汇,理解这些词汇会有助于我们去理解题目和*。
我们以下面这道例题举例:C9T1S1当我们拿到这道题的时候,我们很容易发现这道题里有很多大写字母,拿第一题举例,这里有两个人,一个MF一个P,那我们选取这两个人做定位,可是往下看被吓到,7题里面有6题提到了P这个人,说明这个人在*中必然很多,我们再瞄一眼*标题,发现就是这个人的全名,那么很简单,这是一篇人物传记,讲解的就是这个发明合成染料的人的简介。
这道题目告诉我们,当题目中有人名、地名或者专有名词时我们应该优先选取作为我们的定位词,因为这些词汇比较明显,容易被识别,但是注意如果这个词分布全文,那么就意味着这是一个主题词,不可用。
同义替换:有时我们选取了定位词,但是这个词却并没有以原词的方式出现在*当中,而是在一定程度上做了变形,那么此时我们需要注意我们划取的关键词做了同义替换。
我们还以刚刚那篇*中的第4题举例,我们划取关键词为rich and famous,在原文中我们发现了fame and fortune,显然是这两个形容词的同义替换。
同学们请一定注意,这两项基本技巧贯穿雅思阅读,随着题型和*布局的变化也会有相对应的小技巧,所以请大家一定重视起来。
同时我们也看出,如果题目只是这种细节型题目,我们完全可以使用这两项基本技巧快速得到答案,而不需要去花费太多时间去吃透全文。
以下我们将选取雅思阅读几大常见题型来细解每种题型的技巧:填空题:填空所占的比例可谓相当大,想要拿到7分的学员,填空题可谓兵家必争之地,分毫不可失。
但是奈何填空题变形多种多样,那我们如何从纷繁的填空题型当中找到一些共性呢?首先,所有的空都可以确定其词性和单复数,这一部分的判定只需要初高中的基本英语语法即可成功判断,但是在判断过程中一定要小心仔细,避免由于句型稍复杂的情况下把主语藏得比较远,导致学员判断失误。

Large sample international comparisons of pupils' attainments since the 1960s have established that not only did Japanese pupils at age 13 have better scores of average attainment, but there was also a larger proportion of 'low' attainers in England, where, incidentally, the variation in attainment scores was much greater. The percentage of Gross National Product spent on education is reasonably similar in the two countries, so how is this higher and more consistent attainment in math achieved?B Lower secondary schools in Japan cover three school years, from the seventh grade (age 13) to the ninth grade (age 15). Virtually all pupils at this stage attend state schools: only 3 per cent are in the private sector. Schools are usually modern in design, set well back from the road and spacious inside. Classrooms are large and pupils sit at single desks in rows. Lessons last for a standardised 50 minutes and are always followed by a 10-minute break, which gives the pupils a chance to let off steam. Teachers begin with a formal address and mutual bowing, and then concentrate on whole-class teaching.Classes are large - usually about 40 - and are unstreamed. Pupils stay in the same class for all lessons throughout the school and develop considerable class identity and loyalty. Pupils attend the school in their own neighbourhood, which in theory removes ranking by school. In practice in Tokyo, because of the relative concentration of schools, there is some competition to get into the 'better' school in a particular area.C Traditional ways of teaching form the basis of the lesson and the remarkably quiet classes take their own notes of the points made and the examples demonstrated. Everyone has their own copy of the textbook supplied by the central education authority, Monbusho, as part of the concept of free compulsory education up to the age of 15. These textbooks are, on the whole, small, presumably inexpensive to produce, but well set out and logically developed. (One teacher was particularly keen to introduce colour and pictures into math textbooks: he felt this would make them more accessible to pupils brought up in a cartoon culture. ) Besides approving textbooks, Monbusho also decides the highly centralised national curriculum and how it is to be delivered.D Lessons all follow the same pattern. At the beginning, the pupils put solutions to the homework on the board, then the teachers comment, correct or elaborate as necessary. Pupils mark their own homework: this is an important principle in Japanese schooling as it enables pupils to see where and why they made a mistake, so that these can be avoided in future. No one minds mistakes or ignorance as long as you are prepared to learn from them.After the homework has been discussed, the teacher explains the topic of the lesson, slowly and with a lot of repetition and elaboration. Examples are demonstrated on the board; questions from the textbook are worked through first with the class, and then the class is set questions from the textbook to do individually. Only rarely are supplementary worksheets distributed in a math class. The impression is that the logical nature of thetextbooks and their comprehensive coverage of different types of examples, combined with the relative homogeneity of the class, renders work sheets unnecessary. At this point, the teacher would circulate and make sure that all the pupils were coping well.E It is remarkable that large, mixed-ability classes could be kept together for math throughout all their compulsory schooling from 6 to 15. Teachers say that they give individual help at the end of a lesson or after school, setting extra work if necessary. In observed lessons, any strugglers would be assisted by the teacher or quietly seek help from their neighbour. Carefully fostered class identity makes pupils keen to help each other - anyway, it is in their interests since the class progresses together.This scarcely seems adequate help to enable slow learners to keep up. However, the Japanese attitude towards education runs along the lines of 'if you work hard enough, you can do almost anything'. Parents are kept closely informed of their children's progress and will play a part in helping their children to keep up with class, sending them to 'Juku' (private evening tuition) if extra help is needed and encouraging them to work harder. It seems to work, at least for 95 per cent of the school population.F So what are the major contributing factors in the success of math teaching? Clearly, attitudes are important. Education is valued greatly in Japanese culture; math is recognised as an important compulsory subject throughout schooling; and the emphasis is on hard work coupled with a focus on accuracy.Other relevant points relate to the supportive attitude of a class towards slower pupils, the lack of competition within a class, and the positive emphasis on learning for oneself and improving one's own standard. And the view of repetitively boring lessons and learning the facts by heart, which is sometimes quoted in relation to Japanese classes, may be unfair and unjustified. No poor math lessons were observed. They were mainly good and one or two were inspirational.快速解题之道在于技巧与首段对应的heading中的关键字:introductionDefinitionOverviewConceptEssenceexplanationmisconceptionviewmain ideaorientationcauseincentive●与末段对应的heading中的关键字:effectconclusionresultconsequenceaftermathinfluencefutureprospectheading中的时间词一般对应段落中的具体时间点* early → further→final 次序heading中的数据词一般对应段落中的具体数据heading中的金钱词一般对应段落中的数字和金钱符号示范例题:题目:14 Paragraph B15 Paragraph D16 Paragraph E17 Paragraph FTHE LITTLE ICE AGEA This book will provide a detailed examination of the Little Ice Age and other climatic shifts, but, before I embark on that, let me provide a historical context. We tend to think of climate - as opposed to weather - as something unchanging, yet humanity has been at the mercy of climate change for its entire existence, with at least eight glacial episodes in the past 730, 000 years. Our ancestors adapted to the universal but irregular global warming since the end of the last great Ice Age, around 10, 000years ago, with dazzling opportunism. They developed strategies for surviving harsh drought cycles, decades of heavy rainfall or unaccustomed cold; adopted agriculture and stock-raising, which revolutionised human life; and founded the world's first pre-industrial civilisations in Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Americas. But the price of sudden climate change, in famine, disease and suffering, was often high.B The Little Ice Age lasted from roughly 1300 until the middle of the nineteenth century. Only two centuries ago, Europe experienced a cycle of bitterly cold winters; mountain glaciers in the Swiss Alps were the lowest in recorded memory, and pack ice surrounded Iceland for much of the year. The climatic events of the Little Ice Age did more than help shape the modern world. They are the deeply important context for the current unprecedented global warming. The Little Ice Age was far from a deep freeze, however; rather an irregular seesaw of rapid climatic shifts, few lasting more than a quarter-century, driven by complex and still little understood interactions between the atmosphere and the ocean. The seesaw brought cycles of intensely cold winters and easterly winds, then switched abruptly to years of heavy spring and early summer rains, mild winters, and frequent Atlantic storms, or to periods of droughts, light northeasterly winds, and summer heat waves.C Reconstructing the climate changes of the past is extremely difficult, because systematic weather observations began only a few centuries ago, in Europe and North America. Records from India and tropical Africa are even more recent. For the time before records began, we have only 'proxy records' reconstructed largely from tree rings and ice cores, supplemented by a few incomplete written accounts. We now have hundreds of tree-ring records from throughout the northern hemisphere, and many from south of the equator, too, amplified with a growing body of temperature data from ice cores drilled in Antarctica, Greenland, the Peruvian Andes, and other locations. We are close to aknowledge of annual summer and winter temperature variations over much of the northern hemisphere going back 600 years.D This book is a narrative history of climatic shifts during the past ten centuries, and some of the ways in which people in Europe adapted to them. Part One describes the Medieval Warm Period, roughly 900 to 1200. During these three centuries, Norse voyagers from Northern Europe explored northern seas, settled Greenland, and visited North America. It was not a time of uniform warmth, for then, as always since the Great Ice Age, there were constant shifts in rainfall and temperature. Mean European temperatures were about the same as today, perhaps slightly cooler.E It is known that the Little Ice Age cooling began in Greenland and the Arctic in about 1200. As the Arctic ice pack spread southward, Norse voyages to the west were rerouted into the open Atlantic, then ended altogether. Storminess increased in the North Atlantic and North Sea. Colder, much wetter weather descended on Europe between 1315 and 1319, when thousands perished in a continent-wide famine. By 1400, the weather had become decidedly more unpredictable and stormier, with sudden shifts and lower temperatures that culminated in the cold decades of the late sixteenth century. Fish were a vital commodity in growing towns and cities, where food supplies were a constant concern. Dried cod and herring were already the staples of the European fish trade, but changes in water temperatures forced fishing fleets to work further offshore. The Basques, Dutch, and English developed the first offshore fishing boats adapted to a colder andstormier Atlantic. A gradual agricultural revolution in northern Europe stemmed from concerns over food supplies at a time of rising populations. The revolution involved intensive commercial farming and the growing of animal fodder on land not previously used for crops. The increased productivity from farmland made some countries self-sufficient in grain and livestock and offered effective protection against famine.F Global temperatures began to rise slowly after 1850, with the beginning of the Modern Warm Period. There was a vast migration from Europe by land-hungry farmers and others, to which the famine caused by the Irish potato blight contributed, to North America, Australia, New Zealand, and southern Africa. Millions of hectares of forest and woodland fell before the newcomers' axes between 1850 and 1890, as intensive European farming methods expanded across the world. The unprecedented land clearance released vast quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, triggering for the first time humanly caused global warming. Temperatures climbed more rapidly in the twentieth century as the use of fossil fuels proliferated and greenhouse gas levels continued to soar. The rise has been even steeper since the early 1980s. The Little Ice Age has given way to a new climatic regime, marked by prolonged and steady warming. At the same time, extreme weather events like Category 5 hurricanes are becoming more frequent.。
