雅思阅读文章结构特点分析

大多数雅思真题文章的结构是人们常说的“到金字塔”形式。这是指在一篇文章中，最重

要的信息都放在开头部分，尤其是开头的前三段。也就是说，一篇文章的主题(主题句)都出

现在前三段。一般我们把这样的段落称为导语段。文章一般把新闻所涉及的人物、时间、地点、过程和结果都交待出来。读者读完了导语段，也就知道了新闻的关键信息。

接下来就是逐步向读者交待事件发生的起因、过程、影响等信息。这是文章的主要部分，但是各种信息并不是平铺直叙的，而是按照它们的重要性先后出现的。与事件直接相关的信

息被认为是最重要的，因此位置靠前，然后才是次要的信息。

文章的结构有时显得松散，段落之间的逻辑关系不紧密，这是因为需要交待的信息没有

一定的关联模式，只是发生的一些实事的铺陈。

新闻一般不要求结尾，尤其是总结性的结尾段。在交待完事件的全过程后，作者通常加

上一两段与该消息有点关系、但是不是很重要的信息，作为新闻的结尾。
