话题：心理学难度系数：★★★★★
机经背景知识----心灵感应术
Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste).It is an instinct, and although quite dormant in many of us, we are often capable of tapping into our latent abilities in times of emergency or need. When we intuitively
know that something is happening, or about to happen, our instinct has kicked in. We are drawing upon resources within the unconscious mind. When the resources of two unconscious minds link together into the same frequency, we call it Telepathy.
心灵感应是不用五官感觉(视觉、听觉、触觉、嗅觉、味觉)来进行交流的一种能力。

它是我们许多人体内潜在的一种本能。

在紧急关头或是需要的时候, 我们常常都能激发出这种潜能。

当我们凭直觉知道某些事情正在发生或即将发生时, 我们的本能就已发生作用了。

我们正在利用无意识意念中的资源。

当两个人的无意识意念资源相互联系而达到同步时, 我们称之为"心灵感应"。

五．整体总结和出题趋势
剑八阅读为我们有以下几点复习的指导和暗示：
1. 雅思阅读继续保持稳中有升的特点，和以往的剑桥教材雷同，继续全面考察考生的整体学术阅读能力——定位能力，同义替换能力，总结概括能力，抗干扰能力，判断能力，词汇认知能力，为在国外顺利展开自己大量的阅读学习，打下良好夯实的基础。

难度略微增加，话题考察更加全面，包罗万象，要求考生平时增加自己的阅读量和知识背景的宽度和广度。

2. 就复习的重点来看，是同义替换还有整体的概括能力的训练，现在已经不是单一利用技巧“走遍天下都不怕”的考试时代了，一方面技巧很重要，为考试提供一把利器，在考场上快准狠的杀敌，一方面要全面的提高自己真正的阅读实力，做的从根源解决雅思阅读的基本功问题。

3. 同义替换更加隐蔽，“出题手段”更加多样化，而且文字的整体阅读跨度增大，要求考试平时注意时间，正确率，包括文字整体结构的三管齐下。
