2013年雅思阅读模拟练习及答案（1）《一》“Business is war.”The traditional language of business certainly makes it sound that way: winning the competition, getting market share, beating up suppliers, locking up customers. There are the victors and the losers.But today in doing business, you have to listen to stomers, work with suppliers, keep good relations-even with competitors. That doesn’t sound like war. Besides, there are few victors when business is looked upon as war.Most businesses succeed only if others also succeed. Business is competition and cooperation as well. In other words, business is war and peace.To bring together competition and cooperation, we turn to game theory. Game theory provides that whether one person wins or loses depends on what other people do. It is particularly effective when there are many interdependent factors and no decision can be made in isolation(孤立)from other decisions.Game theory breaks down the game into key elements(要素):players, added values, rules, tactics, and scope(范围)(PARTS).Every element affects the result of the game. This means that each of the five elements gives you a way to change an existing game into entirely new one. Change one of the PARTS, and you change the whole.Why change the game? An old Chinese saying explains: If you continue on the course you’re heading, that’s where you’ll end up. Sometimes that’s good, sometimes not. You can play the game very well, and still suffer great loss. That’s because you’re playing the wrong game: you need to change it. Even a good game can be made into a better one. Real success comes from actively shaping the game you play-from making the game you want, not taking the game you find.1, What’s the main idea of this passage? ______________________________________________________________2, The author of this passage is in favor of the idea that “Business is war.”(True/False)3, In game theory, cooperation no longer exists. (True/False)4, If you change one of the elements in PARTS, the game is changed entirely. (True/False)5, “PARTS”stands for _______.A.players, added values, rules, tactics and scopeB.all of the elements in the game theoryC.the parties in a gameD.the parts that affect the result of the game6, The author emphasizes that _______.A.we shall play very hardB.we shall continue in the course we are headingC.we shall play in the right directionD.we shall always change no matter the change is good or not7, Choose the best answer, interdependent:ⅰbe depended ⅱdepending on each other ⅲdepend on others8, Choose the best answer, tactics:ⅰstrategy ⅱelement ⅲlawF F T A C ⅱⅰ《二》Here’s an unusual story：a diamond ring was recently found in an egg.The magician，Liu Qian，discovered it，in front of an audience of millions at CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala.Liu’s magic tricks have made the centuries-old art of magic fashionable once again，and made him the hottest magician in China.As a seasoned young magician from Taiwan，Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows.Countries he has performed in include the United States，Japan，South Korea and the UK.Witnessing something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of people’s love for magic.Liu is known for his interaction with his audiences.He has a unique understanding of showmanship.“It’s actually thinking rather than one’s manipulation skills，that is more important to achieving a successful magic show.I think carefully about how to design the shows creatively，to make them appear more interesting,”Liu said .Liu Qian’s success dated back to his childhood.Born in 1976 in Taiwan，he found himself attracted to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old.At the age of 12，he won Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest，which was judged by the great American magician，David Copperfield.Yet，Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician.He studied Japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur magician in his spare time.However，his failure to find a proper job aftergraduation pushed him towards magic as a career.To refine his performing skills，he has performed on streets，roads and fields，for passers-by，policemen and farmers.“Street shows are the biggest challenge for us magicians.We have to deal with unexpected situations and tough crowds, ”Liu said.1.The story is about________________.A.how Liu Qian became China’s hottest magicianB.why people love magicC.what magic tricks areD.how fashionable magic is2.Which of the following is the key reason that Liu Qian decided to make magic his career?A.He was interested in magic when he was littleB.He had won Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest.C.He became all amateur magician in his spare time.D.He couldn’t find an acceptable job after graduation.3.From the story we know that_______________.A.Liu Qian competed in many magic competitionsB.Liu Qian often invites audiences to be in his magic showC.Liu Qian performs on streets in order to increase his fameD.Liu Qian does street show to make money4.

Fill in the blanks with prepositions:____________; _____________; ________________.2. What is paragraph one mainly talking about?______________________________________________________ paragraph two:_____________________________________________________paragraphthree:______________________________________________. paragraph four:______________________________________________3. Change sentence 2 into active voice:__________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________4. The special way dolphins communicate with those around them is by ______.A. touching others with their finsB. making special gesturesC. smelling the creatures around themD. using whistles and sound waves5. The water dolphins consume mainly comes from ____.A. ocean waterB. what they eatC. rain waterD. sea plants6. From the passage, we can infer that ______.A. it is rather difficult to train dolphinsB. ancient people were fond of dolphinsC. dolphins are good petsD. all shops sell dolphin productson with toDBB《五》When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the world’s great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil. Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride andself-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.1. What is mainly discussed in the passage?___________________________________________________________ __________2. What is the author’s attitude toward beggars?___________________________________________________________ __________3. Change the underlined sentence into active voice.Related to this is the opinion that the government rather than ordinary people should _____________ the problem.4. Choose the best answer, Quite a few:A. manyB. a fewC. some5. Choose the best answer, pitiable:A. deserving pityB. lovableC. hateful6. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.7. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion，because ______.A. the cases can be so differentB. there are so many beggarsC. there is so much money wastedD. there are so many different arguments1. Arguments on giving to beggars.2. We should give some money to beggars.4. A5. A6.B7.A。
雅思阅读的一点个人经验 分析难句经常复习
洛基英语，中国在线英语教育领导品牌在阅读方面，我进行基础训练，就是说，不做题，看文章，不懂的单词直接查，不用很多的时间去猜，去想，去琢磨，我感觉那样，会把自己引入歧途，对于日后再见到次单词的时候的理解会产生一定的不良影响。
所以，基础练习一增加单词量，提高理解复杂句型的能力为主，不考虑做题方法。
对全文进行深入透彻的理解。
在全面掌握之后，经常“复习”，过一段时间之后再看一遍，如此这般，一段时间之后就把这些单词和句子记下了。
虽然这样做是比较痛苦的，因为需要查太多的单词，需要理解太多的不懂的句子，但是坚持下来是会有效果的，我相信。
另外关键的一点就是，看过的东西不要仍掉，要经常的复习，否则时间久了，就比没看过强不了多少。
其实阅读的关键还是基础，还是单词量，另外很重要的还有对句子的理解能力，这些都要考大量的阅读来解决，单纯的看文章，然后做题，对于基础不是很好的人来说是不合适的，就好象是电脑的内存不够，自然系统运做起来就很慢，效率不高，还容易死机。
无论处理器多好，内存如果太小，也难以发挥。
懂电脑的朋友们都知道这一点。
如果处理器是p42.0，而内存只有64M，那么系统运行的速度还是会比较慢的，尤其是再打开和关闭程序的时候。
那些能得7、8分的人“内存”最少也得“256M”好象有点跑题了，不过我的观点不管大家是否赞同，我想一定能明白了，总之，就是说，对于基础不是很好的朋友们来说，最好不要一味的追求做题，应该从基础上来做练习，多看，多记，而不是多做。
当然，再考试之前是一定要多做些题目来练习的。
（一）、合理安排答题时间在IELTS 测试过程中，每组题都给有答题参考时间，当所给时间结束时，就一定要停下来，即使这组题没有做完也要开始回答下一组题，否则所能完成的题数就会减少，从而影响IELTS 的得分。
测试中，应尽可能快速阅读所给"指引" （direction），"例句"（example），及"问题"（question）三个部分，并准确理解，从而争取到更多时间来答题。

Reading Passage 2
Title:

2.完全乱序
由于这种题型是要求把细节信息与所在的段落进行配对，因此是绝对打乱顺序出题的。
3.部分题目存在重复选项
在雅思阅读中，段落细节配对题以两种形式出现，一种是每个选项只能用一次，另外一种题型，在Instruction的最后一句往往有这样的提示：
NB You may use any letter more than once.
如果出现这样的提示，则说明某些段落可以重复选用。剑桥真题集中的真题以及笔者、考生的实际考试经历证明，这种指令往往意味着有且仅有一个选项可以使用两次。
4.从题量上来看，存在着以下两种可能：
1)题量=段落数+1（肯定带NB）
2)题量小于段落数两个以上
由于每个选项只能重复使用一次，因此第一种题型就意味着每个段落都会有至少一个答案，而第二种题型则不能保证每段都有。
题型难度分析
本次阅读考试总体难度中等偏上，三篇文章都出现了段落细节配对题，这种题型是无序的细节题，需要考生在全篇文章中浏览寻找信息。对于水平较好的考生，可以以较快的速度浏览文章，但是对于大部分考生来说如果要看完全文可能来不及。建议考生可以通过理解段落主题句，理清文章脉络，再把信息搭配到适合的段落中。

【雅思】2013年4月6日雅思阅读考题回顾
雅思考试阅读考题回顾朗阁海外考试研究中心王飞燕4. 根据划出的关键词去文中定位5. 对定位部分进行分析，选出答案选择题的做题步骤1. 阅读指令 (Instruction)这一步骤主要是针对多项选择而言的，单项选择题的指令几乎没有作用。
在多项选择题中，指令中会提示正确选项的数量，在誊写答题卡的时候，一定要注意多项选择题的题号，一个正确选项占用一个题号。
这一点对于初次接触雅思的考生来说要特别引起注意。
2. 阅读题干，划出定位词由于选择题考察细节的特点，故题干中的词往往能够提供定位3. 阅读选项，划出核心词在寻找正确答案之前，一定要事先通读选项，因为选项提供了对原文正确或者是错误的同义转换。
但是由于选项较长，不可能一次性全部记住，所以有必要把选项里的核心词划出来，这样可以减轻记忆负担，并且更加有针对性地做题。
4. 找到相关句子段落，摆脱干扰找到答案这是做题的最后一个步骤，也是最重要的步骤。
由于选择项的干扰性往往很强，所以对找到的相关句子或段落一定要进行仔细阅读，排除错误选项。
甄别干扰项这一步骤是考生解题的关键，很多考生往往对几个选项犹豫不决，经常跳进题目的陷阱。
一般说来，干扰项有如下几个类别：1) 数字陷阱选择题的特点便是选项进行深度的同义转换。
但是如果个别选项中出现了数字，往往意味着这个数字直接来源于文章，没有进行任何同义替换。
这种干扰选项对于根本读不懂原文的考生有着致命的诱惑力，因为只有数字是熟悉的，其它的单词都读不懂。
数字选项中，数字在文章中都有提及，但经常是通过移花接木的形式出现的，以干扰考生的注意力。
2) 相似陷阱同理，如果题目中出现的个别单词与原文中的用词一模一样，尤其是一些经常被同义替换掉的动词、形容词等，这个选项往往就是干扰选项。
3) 偷换概念陷阱有时候选项中虽然与文中有对应的词，但选项中偷换了关键性的成分（如谓语部分），使得答案错误。
4) 搭配不当陷阱这是最具有诱惑性的选项。
这种选项的特点是：选项本身是正确的，但是跟题干却不能形成搭配关系。

这次考试整体难度也因为matching和段落信息包含而上升。
题型技巧分析Matching的做法基本没有什么方法可言。
答案和原文肯定是比较彻底的同意替换，这对学生的词汇要求比较高。
Matching有两种出题方式：1. 题目简短，选项长；2. 选项简短，题目长。
挑选简短的一方做定位词，甚至可以把这些定位词写在文章边上。

2013雅思阅读模拟试题与答案解析
Sleep medication linked to bizarre behaviourNew evidence has linked a commonly prescribed sleep medication with bizarre behaviours， including a case in which a woman painted her front door in her sleep.UK and Australian health agencies have released information about 240 cases of odd occurrences， including sleepwalking， amnesia and hallucinations among people taking the drug zolpidem.While doctors say that zolpidem can offer much-needed relief for people with sleep disorders， they caution that these newly reported cases should prompt a closer look at its possible side effects.Zolpidem， sold under the brand names Ambien， Stilnoct and Stilnox， is widely prescribed to treat insomnia and other disorders such as sleep apnea. Various forms of the drug， made by French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi-Aventis， were prescribed 674，500 times in 2005 in the UK.A newly published report from Australia’s Federal Health Department describes 104 cases of hallucinations and 62 cases of amnesia experienced by people taking zolpidem since marketing of the drug began there in 2000. The health department report also mentioned 16 cases of strangesleepwalking by people taking the medication.Midnight snackIn one of these sleepwalking cases a patient woke with a paintbrush in her hand after painting the front door to her house. Another case involved a woman who gained 23 kilograms over seven months while taking zolpidem. “It was only when she was discovered in front of an open refrigerator while asleep that the problem was resolved，” according to the report.The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency， meanwhile，has recorded 68 cases of adverse reactions to zolpidem from 2001 to 2005.The newly reported cases in the UK and Australia add to a growing list of bizarre sleepwalking episodes linked to the drug in other countries， including reports of people sleep-driving while on the medication. In one case， a transatlantic flight had to be diverted after a passenger caused havoc after taking zolpidem.Hypnotic effectsThere is no biological pathway that has been proven to connect zolpidem with these behaviours. The drug is a benzodiazepine-like hypnotic that promotes deep sleep by interacting with brain receptors for a chemical called gamma-aminobutyric acid. While parts of the brain become less active during deep sleep， the body can still move， making sleepwalking a possibility.The product information for prescribers advises that psychiatric adverse effects， including hallucinations， sleepwalking and nightmares， are more likely in the elderly， and treatment should be stopped if they occur.Patient advocacy groups say they would like government health agencies and drug companies to take a closer look at the possible risks associated with sleep medicines. They stress that strange sleepwalking and sleep-driving behaviours can have risky consequences.“When people do something in which they’re not in full control it’s always a danger，” says Vera Sharav of the New York-based Alliance for Human Research Protection， a US network that advocates responsible and ethical medical research practices.Tried and tested“The more reports that come out about the potential side effects of the drug，the more research needs to be done to understand if these are real side effects，” says sleep researcher Kenneth Wright at the University of Colorado in Boulder，US.Millions of people have taken the drug without experiencing any strange sideeffects， points out Richard Millman at Brown Medical School， director of the Sleep Disorders Center of Lifespan Hospitals in Providence， Rhode Island， US. He says that unlike older types of sleep medications， zolpidem does not carry as great a risk of addiction.And Wright notes that some of the reports of “sleep-driving” linke d to zolpidem can be easily explained： some patients have wrongly taken the drug right before leaving work in hopes that the medicine will kick in by the time they reach home. Doctors stress that the medication should be taken just before going to bed.The US Food & Drug Administration says it is continuing to "actively investigate" and collect information about cases linking zolpidem to unusual side effects.The Ambien label currently lists strange behaviour as a “special concern” for people taking the drug. “It’s a possible rare adverse event，” says Sanofi-Aventis spokesperson Melissa Feltmann， adding that the strange sleepwalking behaviours “may not necessarily be caused by the drug” but instead result from an underlying disorder. She says that “the s afety profile [of zolpidem] is well established”. The drug received approval in the US in 1993.Questions 1-6 Do the following statements agree with the information given in the reading passage？In boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet writeTRUE if the statement is true according to the passageFALSE if the statement is false according to the passageNOT GIVEN if the information is not given in the passage1. Ambien， Stilnoct and Stilnox are brand names of one same drug treating insomnia.2. The wo man’s obesity problem wasn’t resolved until she stopped taking zolpidem.3. Zolpidem received approval in the UK in 2001.4. The bizarre behaviour of a passenger after taking zolpidem resulted in the diversion of a flight bound for the other side of the Atlantic.5. Zolpidem is the only sleep medication that doesn’t cause addiction.6. The sleep-driving occurrence resulted from the wrong use of zolpidem by an office worker.Question 7-9 Choose the appropriate letters A-D and Write them in boxes 7-9 on your answer sheet.7. How many cases of bizarre behaviours are described in an official report from Australia？A. 68B. 104C. 182D. 2408. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the product information about zolpidem？A. Treatment should be stopped if side effects occur.B. Medication should be taken just before going to bed.C. Adverse effects are more likely in the elderly.D. Side effects include nightmares， hallucinations and sleepwalking.9. Who claimed that the safety description of zolpidem was well established？A. Kenneth WrightB. Melissa FeltmannC. Richard MillmanD.

Organic farming relies heavily on the naturalbreakdown of organic matter, using techniques like green manure and composting, to replace nutrients taken from the soil by previous crops. This biological process, driven by microorganisms such asmycorrhiza, allows the natural production of nutrients in the soil throughout the growing season, and has been referred to as feeding the soil to feed the plant. Organic farming uses a variety of methods to improve soil fertility, including crop rotation, cover cropping, reduced tillage, and application of compost. By reducing tillage, soil is not inverted and exposed to air; less carbon is lost to the atmosphere resulting in more soil organic carbon. This has an added benefit of carbon sequestration which can reduce green house gases and aid in reversing climate change.
2013年雅思阅读模拟试题及答案解析
Sleep medication linked to bizarre behaviourNew evidence has linked a commonly prescribed sleep medication with bizarre behaviours， including a case in which a woman painted her front door in her sleep.UK and Australian health agencies have released information about 240 cases of odd occurrences， including sleepwalking， amnesia and hallucinations among people taking the drug zolpidem.While doctors say that zolpidem can offer much-needed relief for people with sleep disorders， they caution that these newly reported cases should prompt a closer look at its possible side effects.Zolpidem， sold under the brand names Ambien， Stilnoct and Stilnox， is widely prescribed to treat insomnia and other disorders such as sleep apnea. Various forms of the drug， made by French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi-Aventis， were prescribed 674，500 times in 2005 in the UK.A newly published report from Australia’s Federal Health Department describes 104 cases of hallucinations and 62 cases of amnesia experienced by people taking zolpidem since marketing of the drug began there in 2000. The health department report also mentioned 16 cases of strangesleepwalking by people taking the medication.Midnight snackIn one of these sleepwalking cases a patient woke with a paintbrush in her hand after painting the front door to her house. Another case involved a woman who gained 23 kilograms over seven months while taking zolpidem. “It was only when she was discovered in front of an open refrigerator while asleep that the problem was resolved，” according to the report.The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency， meanwhile，has recorded 68 cases of adverse reactions to zolpidem from 2001 to 2005.The newly reported cases in the UK and Australia add to a growing list of bizarre sleepwalking episodes linked to the drug in other countries， including reports of people sleep-driving while on the medication. In one case， a transatlantic flight had to be diverted after a passenger caused havoc after taking zolpidem.Hypnotic effectsThere is no biological pathway that has been proven to connect zolpidem with these behaviours. The drug is a benzodiazepine-like hypnotic that promotes deep sleep by interacting with brain receptors for a chemical called gamma-aminobutyric acid. While parts of the brain become less active during deep sleep， the body can still move， making sleepwalking a possibility.The product information for prescribers advises that psychiatric adverse effects， including hallucinations， sleepwalking and nightmares， are more likely in the elderly， and treatment should be stopped if they occur.Patient advocacy groups say they would like government health agencies and drug companies to take a closer look at the possible risks associated with sleep medicines. They stress that strange sleepwalking and sleep-driving behaviours can have risky consequences.“When people do something in which they’re not in full control it’s always a danger，” says Vera Sharav of the New York-based Alliance for Human Research Protection， a US network that advocates responsible and ethical medical research practices.Tried and tested“The more reports that come out about the potential side effects of the drug，the more research needs to be done to understand if these are real side effects，” says sleep researcher Kenneth Wright at the University of Colorado in Boulder，US.Millions of people have taken the drug without experiencing any strange sideeffects， points out Richard Millman at Brown Medical School， director of the Sleep Disorders Center of Lifespan Hospitals in Providence， Rhode Island， US. He says that unlike older types of sleep medications， zolpidem does not carry as great a risk of addiction.And Wright notes that some of the reports of “sleep-driving” linke d to zolpidem can be easily explained： some patients have wrongly taken the drug right before leaving work in hopes that the medicine will kick in by the time they reach home. Doctors stress that the medication should be taken just before going to bed.The US Food & Drug Administration says it is continuing to "actively investigate" and collect information about cases linking zolpidem to unusual side effects.The Ambien label currently lists strange behaviour as a “special concern” for people taking the drug. “It’s a possible rare adverse event，” says Sanofi-Aventis spokesperson Melissa Feltmann， adding that the strange sleepwalking behaviours “may not necessarily be caused by the drug” but instead result from an underlying disorder. She says that “the s afety profile [of zolpidem] is well established”. The drug received approval in the US in 1993.Questions 1-6 Do the following statements agree with the information given in the reading passage？In boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet writeTRUE if the statement is true according to the passageFALSE if the statement is false according to the passageNOT GIVEN if the information is not given in the passage1. Ambien， Stilnoct and Stilnox are brand names of one same drug treating insomnia.2. The wo man’s obesity problem wasn’t resolved until she stopped taking zolpidem.3. Zolpidem received approval in the UK in 2001.4. The bizarre behaviour of a passenger after taking zolpidem resulted in the diversion of a flight bound for the other side of the Atlantic.5. Zolpidem is the only sleep medication that doesn’t cause addiction.6. The sleep-driving occurrence resulted from the wrong use of zolpidem by an office worker.Question 7-9 Choose the appropriate letters A-D and Write them in boxes 7-9 on your answer sheet.7. How many cases of bizarre behaviours are described in an official report from Australia？A. 68B. 104C. 182D. 2408. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the product information about zolpidem？A.

solely on their eyesight for locating prey and mates and avoiding predators; deep-sea fish have evolved appropriately to the extreme sub-photic region in which they live. Many of these organisms are blind and rely on their other senses, such as sensitivities to changes in local pressure and smell, to catch their food and avoid being caught. Those that aren’t blind have large and sensitive eyes that can use bioluminescent light. These eyes can be as much as 100 times more sensitive to light than human eyes. Also, to avoid predation, many species are dark to blend in with their environment.Many deep-sea fish are bioluminescent, with extremely large eyes adapted to the dark. Bioluminescent organisms are capable of producing light biologically through the agitation of molecules of luciferin, which then produce photons of light. This process must be done in the presence of oxygen. These organisms are common in the mesopelagic region and below (200m and below). More than 50% of deep-sea fish as well as some species of shrimp and squid are capable of bioluminescence. About 80% of these organisms have photophores – light producing glandular cells that contain luminous bacteria bordered by dark colorings. Some of these photophores contain lenses, much like those in the eyes of humans, which can intensify or lessen the emanation of light.The ability to produce light only requires 1% of the organism's energy and has many purposes: It is used to search for food and attract prey, like the anglerfish; claim territory through patrol; communicate and find a mate; and distract or temporarily blind predators to escape. Also, in the mesopelagic where some light still penetrates, some organisms camouflage themselves from predators below them by illuminating their bellies to match the color and intensity of light from above so that no shadow is cast. This tactic is known as counter illumination.The life cycle of deep-sea fish can be exclusively deep water although some species are born in shallower water and sink upon maturation. Regardless of the depth where eggs and larvae reside, they are typically pelagic. This planktonic – drifting – lifestyle requires neutral buoyancy. In order to maintain this, the eggs and larvae often contain oil droplets in their plasma. When these organisms are in their fully matured state they need other adaptations to maintain their positions in the water column. In general, water’s density causes upthrust – the aspect of buoyancy that makes organisms float. To counteract this, the density of an organism must be greater than that of the surrounding water. Most animal tissues are denser than water, so they must find an equilibrium to make them float. Many考试趋势分析和备考指导：本次考试四大题型一个不落集体出现，单选和完成句子选择作为非主流题型在2篇文章中都有所涉及，选择、判断、配对的数量以绝对的优势压倒了填空题，所以本次考试的难度系数较大。

Disappearing Fish1 Sea fishing grew rapidly in the decades after the Second World War. Mechanisation increased the fishermen’s catch in tr aditional grounds and then carried them to distant waters for more. After the world catch had tripled to over 60 million tones in only 20 years， fishing developed more slowly in the 1970s and 1980s， like the rest of the oil-shocked world economy. In 1989，when the sea catch rose above 86 million tones， the growth stopped.2 In 1990 and 1991， the two most recent years for which the Food and Agriculture Organization （FAO） has figures， the world catch began to shrink. It has not been a dramatic fall--only a few percent overall. But experts at the FAO， in common with many fisheries scientists， now believe that the limit to sustainable catches of wild fish was exceeded decades earlier. In more and more waters， too few fish have been left in the sea to maintain levels needed for spawning. Thus fishermen are consuming the very resource that should yieldtheir catch.3 When catches of the most valuable fish in the waters of the northern hemisphere， such as turbot and halibut， started to fail， fleets began instead to chase other species that had been thrown back as "trash" only a generation before--whiting， spiny dogfish and others. They also fished distant waters and found massive catches of a few other low-value species. The FAO notes that it was these short-lived catches-___ of fish such as Alaska Pollack， Peruvian anchoveta and Japanese pilchard____that greatly increased the total world catch in the 1980s.4 But the true， downward trend in fishing worldwide was masked because these catches were measured in tones， not dollars. Moreover，the world’s 3 million or so fishing boats cannot hope for further yields of that kind. There are no more waters and few species that have not been explored. The world’s fishermen say they operate at a loss： $22 billion in 1989， not counting capital expenditure or profit from unreported illegal catches.5 Almost all the 200 fisheries monitored by the FAO are fully exploited. One in three is depleted or heavily overexploited， almost all in the developed countries. Governments have encouraged this excess， by subsidising fishermen，often as a form of regional aid and in response to failing catches. Although fishermen still catch relatively few of the 15，000 existing species of fish，most of the remainder are expensive to catch， taste bad， or both.6 Overfishing is not the only threat to the world’s fisheries， althoughit is the most severe. Development and pollution are also reducing fish numbers. According to Paul Brouha， director of the American Fisheries Society， between 11 and 15 million salmon once spawned in the Columbia river system. Now there are only 3 million， of which 2.75 million are spawned artificially. So much of the river system has been dammed that only 250，000 salmon can find their way back to old spawning grounds. According to a recent study， three-quarters of the American catch comprises species that depend upon estuaries （often as a habitat for young fish， which can safely feed in the shallow waters）.7 But estuaries are themselves vulnerable. Almost a third of the world’s 5.5 billion people live within 60 kilometres of the sea， polluting inshore waters with effluent from industry， and farmland. Lagoons and wetlands arefilled to make land； mangrove forests are cut down； fresh water is taken in large quantities upstream， affecting the salinity of estuaries and the growth of young fish.8 For all the damage that they cause， overfishing and pollution rarelylead to extinction （though even this is possible for a few large， slow-growing and valuable species， such as the bluefin tuna）. Nor， at least for many years yet， will fish be off the menu for those who have enough money. Indeed， as the price of fish climbs and biotechnology develops， the most valuable fish will increasingly be farmed. Fish farming， or aquaculture，yielded more than 12 million tones in 1990， and is growing by more than 10% a year. Fin-fish make up almost 70% of the total， shellfish a quarter， and shrimp about 6%. But intensive fish farming tends to damage coastlines. And，though the technology is developing rapidly the FAO doubts whether farmed fish will account for more than 12% of world fish consumption by the end of the century.。
雅思考试分析以及考试技巧汇总一篇
雅思考试分析以及考试技巧汇总一篇雅思考试分析以及考试技巧 12月某日，当考官“无耻”地提示“one minute left”的时候，我的答题纸上还有3个Y/N/NG的空格。
郝斌老师反复重申的“应急预案”立即启动。
凭着对文章内容的大致概念及题干理解，再综合“概率”问题的考量，我在没有翻回文章查找相关词句的情况下迅速填上了“答案”。
在我放下笔的时“time is up”响起。
这也是我在整场IELTS Reading中唯一使用了“感性”的时候。
写到这里，我要表达的所谓“心得”已经非常明显：雅思阅读中感性的比重越小，越容易拿到高分。
原因非常简单：出题和写文章的都是外国人。
这也是我在郝斌老师阅读课中最最重要的收获之一。
上过强化班的同学应该还记得他经常说的：“同学们做题不要那么生猛，理智一点喔，理智一点。
”其实，这句玩笑的背后就是通向IELTS阅读的关键所在——理性。
在我还停留在5.5水平的时候，最常用的做题方法是先看一遍题目，再看一遍文章——没看懂；再看一遍题目，再看一遍文章——猜到一部分意思但还是不懂；迫于时间的限制只能硬着头皮凭感觉连蒙带猜。
结果往往是40题只能对一半左右。
如果你现在也处于这种状态，那么恭喜你，因为你可能在2个月内跳升为对30题左右。
新东方的课是你首先要去听的。
郝斌老师堪称经典的“Global Reading Skill”会帮助你领悟到英语文章结构的精髓所在。
拥有了这个本领，你将会知道什么是该读的部分、什么是根本不用读的部分、什么词的出现预示着出题点以及这个词在题干中可能“变身”的形式。
掌握了这样直奔主题的方法，想不提高分数都是很困难的事情。
另外一个技能就是对各种题型解题思路的掌握。
仅以Y/N/NG题为例，中国人的智商之“高”往往在这个题型中得以彰显：最终答案的给出过程常常夹杂了个人广博的知识和丰富的阅历，思来想去，觉得“一切皆有可能”，死胡同越走越深。
这就是感性在作祟，不但得不到正确答案，更浪费了宝贵的时间。

雅思阅读结构分析
雅思阅读三种文章结构分析为什么要读文章的结构呢?首先，这是雅思阅读的题型要求。
在雅思官方给出的阅读14种题型中，有一种难度较大的题型: 段落信息配对题(Which paragraph contains the following information?)它需要考生读完所有的命题信息点后，去全文搜索命题所对应的段落。
这对考生的阅读速度和搜索能力有着极高的要求。
通常多数考生全篇撒网，漫无目的地找信息，结果不是“快而不准”就是严重超时。
但是，若考生能提前洞悉文章的结构，就能了解命题信息点对应的文章大致范围，如文章靠前的段落还是靠后的段落?比如，剑桥5 test 3 passage 3中，有一道段落信息配对题，命题是：how AI might have a military impact. 根据该文章的标题：The Return o f Artificial Intelligence可知，关于命题中AI在军事上的影响应该放在靠后的段落进行说明，那么考生的选择范围至少缩小的一半。
若考生没有针对性的全篇覆盖，即使做出题，也是严重超时。
其次，应对定位难度大的题。
不能否认的是很多情况下做题不用浏览文章，在备考初期，找命题中的定位词去文中定位，这是烤鸭们必经的首要阶段。
但慢慢地，考生明显会感觉到定位难度的加大，如命题中的定位词被同义替换，定位时偶尔出现的乱序情况等等。
但试想，若考生在做题前就分析过文章结构，大概能抓住文章的每段的主旨，那么我们就不再是依赖某一两个词来定位，而是用语义来定位，即使出现乱序或者同义替换，我们也能轻松搞定。
最后，文章对应的考题一网打尽，提高速度。
考生通常习惯了先读命题再去文章中找需要的相关信息进行解题，殊不知，这是一种比较冒险的做法，因为当定位简单时这种方法的确最直接有效，但不能排除的是有的题定位难度很大，这时就只有文章结构阅读法才能很好的克服这个问题。
因此为了能将所有题一网打尽，考生应该在做题前快速地分析文章的结构和每段的主旨。
