雅思阅读快速定位三步走

雅思阅读快速定位三步走

朗阁雅思考试研究中心

众多的烤鸭们都知道，在我们雅思阅读考试中，不仅要求考生要有上千上万的词汇量，首先，词汇量是基础，其次我们做题时还是需要有速度的哦。有的考生觉得自己已经在平时练习的过程中达到了高速的要求了，但是还是会在考试中来不及做，这是为什么呢，其实这个是可以分两个方面来进行分析，首要的问题还是烤鸭们还没有达到的快速阅读的标准，比如说我们要在1小时内，高效率的完成40个问题，不仅要快，同时还要求正确率，如此说来就得需要考生们对问题答案所在位置的快速精准定位；另一方面的原因应该就是烤鸭们在考试过程中的一些紧张情绪导致没有在考试过程中很好的发挥，或者就是虽然提升了速度但是在选择答案的时候还是因为对自己答案的不自信，导致最后还是没有办法高效快速的完成题目！本文中，朗阁雅思考试研究中心的专家将以剑桥雅思4中的几篇文章为例，给考生们讲解快速定位法。

段落定位要求考生在拿到一篇文章后，首先要对文章进行略读，读文章标题，每个段落的首尾句，掌握文章的大意，了解每段在讲什么，有助于下一步看问题的时候可以先确定这个问题的段落位置。

词汇定位要求考生在对文章略读后，看问题，并划出定位词。定位词在之前《雅思阅读之定位》一文中已经讨论过，主要是一些名词。结合对每段意思的掌握，确定好问题的段落位置后，再通过划出的问题中的定位词在段落中定位答案的最后位置。要是就那样分析的话，可能很多烤鸭会觉得比较抽象，没有办法具体的了解到，那么下面我们就来用举例说明的方式来具体说一下，希望对烤鸭们有所帮助哟！

1. 略读题目和段落

Title: What do whales feel?

An examination of the functioning of the senses in cetaceans, the group of mammals comprising whales, dolphins and porpoises.

从对标题的阅读中，我们可以了解到这篇文章要讲的是鲸的感官，the senses of whales. 在这里我们可以预测下感官有哪些，同时可以对下面文章的内容进行预测。

Paragraph1:

Some of the senses that we and other terrestrial mammals take for granted are

either reduced or absent in cetaceans for fail to function well in water. For example, it appears from their brain structure that toothed species are unable to smell. Baleen species, on the other hand, appear to have some related brain structures but it is not known whether these are functional. It has been speculated that, as the blowholes evolved and migrated to the top of the head, the neural pathways serving sense of smell may have been nearly all sacrificed. Similarly, although at least some cetaceans have taste buds, the nerves serving these have degenerated or are rudimentary.

从首句的主干中得出一些感官在退化，消失或者在水中已失去了功用。紧跟在这句话后面的是个for example, 说明后面再举些这类型的感官。最后一句以similarly开头，说明即使最后一句也是一个例子，然后是个名词taste buds, 说到了味觉，用了degenerated, rudimentary描述这个味觉，rudimentary大多数考生不认识，但degenerated可以根据构词法推出是退化。

Paragraph2:

The sense of vision is developed to different degrees in different species. Baleen species studied at close quarters underwater-specifically a grey whale calf in captivity for a year, and free-ranging right whales and humpback whales studied and filmed off Argentina and Hawaii-have obviously tracked objects with vision underwater, and they can apparently see moderately well both in water and in air. However, the position of the eyes so restricts and field of vision in baleen whales that they probably do not have stereoscopic vision.

读首句就可看出这段讲的是视觉。最后一句提到了baleen whales的眼睛位置限制了它们的视觉域，they probably do not have stereoscopic vision.

Paragraph3:

On the other hand, the position of the eyes in most dolphins and porpoises suggests that they have stereoscopic vision forward and downward. Eye position in freshwater dolphins, which often swim on their side or upside down while feeding, suggests that what vision they have is stereoscopic forward and upward. By comparison, the bottlenose dolphin has extremely keen vision in water. Judging from the way it watches and tracks airborne flying fish, it can apparently see fairly well through the air-water interface as well. And although preliminary experimental evidence suggests that their in-air vision is poor, the accuracy with which dolphins leap high to take small fish out of a trainer’s hand provides anecdotal evidence to the contrary.
