雅思阅读考试的复习策略
1、了解雅思阅读各题型的出题特点和解题方法.雅思阅读的题型大致可以分为10种:List of headings, T/F/NG, Summary, Matching, Multiple Choice, Sentence completion, Short answer, Table completion, Flow chart, Diagram completion.不同的题型考察的侧重不同,比如List of headings考察对段落大意的把握,T/F/NG考察对细节的准确理解,Matching主要考察寻找细节等等.所以,这一阶段属于全面了解题性特点,寻觅最佳解题方法为主.Tips: 该阶段每种题型至少找3个练习题研究下,量中生质,就算是同种题型也可能有些细小的不同,所以有量才有面.
2、题河战术.因为是考试,所以高三那时的题海战术演变成现在的题河战术是绝对有效的!在大量的练习中,可以进一步体会出题的思路和进一步巩固解题方法,更可以提高阅读速度!Tips: 不要只单纯地做题,对于做错或做对的题目都要进行深度分析.比如:做错的题目是定位错误还是定位定对了,但理解出错.做对的题目中,有没有规律可循,以便指导以后的做题.
3、精读练习书中的文章,提高真正的英语水平.Tips: 首先,只需精读练习书里的文章,因为里面的文章和雅思考试如出一辙,读这些文章比较高效;其次,精读主要从三方面进行:1)词汇.所有除专业名词以外的词汇最好都能记忆,词汇量当然是越大越好了;2)分析长句.阅读中经常出现长句,要时刻训练分析长句的能力,从中获得的能力可以转移到写作中;3)文章结构.一篇文章都看完了,如果连文章的脉络结构都不清楚,那么整体把握的能力太差了,这直接会影响考试中定位信息的准确度!
雅思阅读的特点
首先,需要注意的是雅思阅读的考察方式与其他考试(如TOEFL,GMAT,大学四六级)截然不同.雅思主要考的是语言,而绝对不是逻辑.因此,复习阅读的大方向要100%地定位在语言上.
其次,雅思阅读重点考察对文中细节或段落主旨的理解与把握(像大学四六级阅读中经常出现的what can you infer from the passage?这种题目,在雅思阅读中很难找到).因此,文章没有谈到的内容是不需要考虑或过多推理的.
另外,雅思阅读实质上还考察阅读速度和定位能力(这在TOEFL,GMAT或大学四六级阅读中很难体会到).换言之,在其他考试中,解题的相关信息很容易或不难找到,但最终能不能做对,要看candidate对原文的理解;而雅思则不同,解题的相关信息不是那么容易找到!有相当一部分题目如果能找到相关信息,答案便很容易就能得出了.由于雅思的阅读文章比其他任何考试的阅读都长,所以在规定时间内找到相关信息再得出正确答案,时间就成了最大的敌人.很多学生反映考试时时间不够.
雅思阅读的参考书
1、剑桥系列4-6.这三本书毋庸置疑是雅思阅读最权威的书,如果这三本书都没有研究过,就去考试,复习的效果肯定会大打折扣!需要注意的是,这里并没有提到剑桥1-3,因为剑桥1是两名英国的资深考官编写的,但由于之前,雅思考试经过小小的改革,所以这本书的部分试题有些过时.至于剑桥3,里面的有些试题也真是不敢恭维,和现在考试的实际难度和思路都大相径庭!剑桥2客观地说,还是可以的,只不过不如剑桥4-6那么好而已.
2、聚焦雅思模拟试题集.此书是剑桥1的两位作者,在改革后编写的辅导书,其仿真度和思路绝对比剑桥1有过之而无不及.因此,这里推荐此书而没有推荐剑桥1.
3、雅思应试指导与模拟试题.这本书是由雅思考试命题人编写,其仿真度和思路当然更加接近与真实考试.
复习方法
1 把教材通读一遍,对书中的每一章节讲什么要相当熟悉,至于每一节的内容,暂时不用去记忆;
2 对照大纲,把不考的内容从教材上划掉,把重点内容和一般内容分别做下标记;
3 精读教材,记住重点内容,特别是办什么事到什么部门,什么流程,要什么文件资料等;对一般内容做一般了解,就是说认认真真看一遍就可以了;
4 做真题,把前几年报检员考试的题目全部做一遍,当然了那些不考试的内容不用去做了,做完之后对照答案,看看自己第3步做得怎么样,
报检员考试复习策略
,
把几次都考到的内容划出来,做为重中之重,就是说,这些内容要百分百记住,达到倒背如流的程度,其实这部分内容没有多少;其它也考到的内容在教材中标出来,做为重点内容记忆;
5 再次精读教材,对照第四步的标记,全面掌握考点。这一步多循环两遍,基本上整本书中有价值的内容都被我们牢牢把握住了,呵呵。
6 除了考前的认真准备之外,考试时的方法和技巧也很重要。比如说判断题做错了要倒扣分,因此,如果没把握,就不要做;丢半分比丢一分要好。考试时做完了,如果有时间多,应该多检查一遍,不要急着交卷。有些人觉得提前交很光荣,我觉得,不客气的说;傻瓜一个。
四六级考试复习策略
听力除了掌握正确的语音和各种考试技巧外,基本的单词短语也是非常重要的。听力中的单词短语基本上属于口语中的,和阅读词汇中有所不同。考生要把历年考题中的重要单词短语和特殊表达法烂熟于心,考试时才能有足够快的反应,因为对话和短文都是只放一遍的。另外,平时最好多做一点听写练习注重每个单词的拼写,这样考试时才不至于出现听懂了却写错的情况。推荐一些好的听力材料,如TOEFL和New Concept English等。建议考生可以在考前听写30-50篇新3课文。
阅读在几乎任何的英语考试中都占有极其重要的地位,它的重要性再怎么强调也不过分。首先请考生注意一点做一些模拟题是可以的,但一定要把主要的精力放在历年的真题上。因为真题是最具有权威性的代表了出题者的'一贯思路。而这恰恰是众多考生忽视的。很多考生把真题草草做过一遍就扔在一旁,没有全面透彻地理解这些文章。考生要从词汇,难句,语篇和出题点四个层次对真题进行精读,平时再多读一些英文报纸杂志,阅读水平一定会得到实质性的提高。尤其要强调的一点是:真题中的重点单词短语一定要牢记。建议考生平时可以多看The World of English和English Learning等英文杂志。
四级已经转向以词汇为重点,语法词汇部分的30题,词汇占了绝大部分。语法可以不要作为复习的重点。但是还是建议大家通读一本语法书。推荐薄冰老师的语法书,外文书店有购。六级更是都是词汇题。词汇题虽然只有15分,但也是很多同学头疼的题目,要么做的很好,要么动辄扣八九分以上。六级大纲中的词汇虽然只有一千多个,但都要求复式掌握,也就是要掌握单词在不同的语境中不同的意思或用法,这就是难点。考生要从惯用法,搭配,与同义词,近形词的区别,反义词等等各个方面全面地掌握词汇,这样在考试时才能够从容应对。另外,词汇题考的词汇也有不少是四级就应该掌握的,而这些词汇在六级大纲中就不会有,这就需要考生不能荒废了四级词汇,要打好基础。就词汇题而言,全真题非常重要,很多词汇每年的复现率很高,全真题中的词汇在各位考生备考时应该首先掌握,重点掌握。背单词的方法很多,本人建议最好在单词之间建立联系,多联想,在阅读中记单词。
完形填空实际上考的就是考生的阅读能力,以及对搭配,单词辨异的掌握等。
综合改错和作文可以归到一类中,两者都考查了考生的写作能力,只不过作文更直接一点。改错中的很多错误其实就是很多学生在平时写作时经常犯的错误。比如说意义形式容易混淆的词,搭配错误的词,词性、时态、语态、数、格等方面的错误。可以说,改错考查了考生的综合能力。除了掌握一些应试技巧外,考生应在自身语言基本功,尤其是语言的准确使用方面提高自己。
写作除了学会一些写作套路以外,考生也要注意掌握各种词汇,句型的不同表达,丰富自己的表达方式。平时学到的词汇,句型要尽量学会使用,看到好的表达法就背下来。只有足够的输入,考试时才会有高质量的输出,到了评卷老师那里你的作文才不会千篇 一律,才有亮点,才有加分因素。考试时还要注意不要遗漏提纲要点,少犯语法错误。
词汇是基础,阅读是关键,得阅读者得天下,请考生牢记!
9月背单词,课外阅读,不要做真题
10-12月,每个星期做一到两套真题,然后好好研究。单词不能放,在考前争取过3-4遍。
公务员考试历年来吸引着大批优秀青年,但真正有科学的公务员考试复习策略的考生却是凤毛麟角,究其原因还是没有找到根本有效的备考思路,以下结合多位高分考生亲身经历,总结三点终极法宝,帮助大家制定适合自己的公务员考试复习策略,快速提分!
一、公务员思维备考更接地气
公务员考试说到底是一种单位招聘考试,侧重考察应试者的实际运用相关知识和政策解决现实问题的能力。作为一名想要成为公务员的应试者,埋头做题永远都只能是辅助手段,学会作为一名公务员应该如何思考、解决实际问题,这才是最重要、最核心的能力。所以在备考中,无论是政策新闻、热点事件,还是一本正经的习题真题,学会并反复试用作为一名真正的公务员的角度来看待、分析,你会立刻发现自己能够迅速摆脱应该怎样复习公务员的困惑,倍感轻松。
二、正确合适的参考书籍和信息渠道,拉开档次显分差
这是公务员考试复习策略的核心。公务员考试更侧重于实践能力,所以就参考书而言,不仅包括考试所需的参考书,而且包含了各种有用信息获取的渠道,比如网站、论坛、电视节目、报刊杂志等等能够增强考生实际解决问题能力的各种途径。
(1)书籍资料
它一定是必备的复习资料,能够帮助大家更加深入地认识考试规律、命题特点和精彩的解题方法、角度。总的来说,公务员考试大纲一定必备的,考生能够从中了解考试规则和范围等原则性信息,帮助考生了解应该怎样考公务员考试。再者,一本优质复习资料也能省时省力不少,比如广受好评的《公考复习经验及答题方法蓝皮书》就区别于大众参考书,能够帮助大家跳出“题海”,有效提高时间利用,真正做到事半功倍;另外《时事政治理论热点面对面》针对性强,考前用于积累总结重要时政热点,能够在最后阶段节省不少时间。
(2)论坛
论坛也是教会你怎样考公务员的好地方,比较知名的比如QZZN论坛、公考社区等,一些常见报考问题都有前辈解答,还可以找同路人相互鼓励、学习,增强考试信心和耐力。
(3)节目
一些代表性的主流电视节目也是需要持续关注的,比如新闻联播、焦点访谈,都具有实时性、代表性,是申论材料积累不可逾越的地方。另外,在宏观政策方针把握上,这些主流节目提供给你更为重要的潜在信息,比如:政策热点的具体倾斜方向、中央对于重点区域性问题的态度等等,而这些在考试大纲里是没有的。
(4)报刊
人民日报作为国内政策解读和展现突出社会问题的核心平台,本身就是很好申论范文,其中部分文章本就是在职干部撰写的,绝对有必要长期花时间关注、阅读。其理论版可以帮助大家积累各种社会问题的不同观点,锻炼思考问题的角度。对于一些重大社会热点活时政评论,观点独特、现实意义强的,可以保存、整理起来,到后期复习时是很好的思维参考、扩充的材料。
南方周末,作为中国改革先锋,对于社会热点事件都有相当独到的见解和分析,多多关注能够把握热点社会事件,丰富考生思维层次,提高分析能力。
三、备考周期的平均用时和连续性,影响考试语境
许多考生白天要上班,有时晚上还有应酬,根本无法保证每天的平均用时。这确实是无法回避的现实问题,但如果不去解决这个现实问题,只会逐渐失去动力、那么这样的考生如何制定公务员考试复习策略?
一些成功者的经历也许会让你有所启发,战线一定不要拉得很长,但一定要保持连续性和备考期内的平均用时。一般来说两、三个月足够,但这期间内,一定要保证每天的复习时间,才会真正把公务员考试当做一件事认真地花精力准备,同时也会保证有持续的内在动力。
四、在职考生见缝插针是关键
那么作为上班族应该怎样安排时间才能保证每天的复习时间呢?白天上班都有电脑吧,利用工作间隙了解基本考试信息,如公务考试考几科,应该怎样考公务员,报名时间等等。另一方面,一定要时常关注国家政策、新闻,并以一个公务员的角度进入思考、分析,这样不知不觉中就形成了公务员思维的能力,在日常中逐渐形成这种思维,也是复习的重要内容。回家后,再集中一、两个小时看题目、思考、分析材料等等常规复习,这样应试与时事思考结合,不仅能够保证每天有一定的复习时间,而且还能在不自觉中关注了所有重要时政,同时还不容易觉得枯燥无味。
雅思阅读备考策略 这5个误区要避开
在雅思考试中时间一直都是比较紧张的,作为题量最大的雅思阅读,很多考鸭都会花大量精力去复习雅思阅读,但是因为一些备考复习的坏习惯导致很多考鸭很难在雅思阅读有提高,或是雅思阅读提分非常缓慢。临考在即,一起跟着小站雅思君来了解一下雅思阅读复习备考中需要避开的5个误区吧。
雅思阅读复习误区一,疯狂刷题战术
这个雅思阅读复习坏习惯基本上每一个烤鸭都有,以为阅读就要做题,认为做的越多提升越快分数会越高。所以烤鸭们会陷入一种机械做题的状态,什么题都做。
虽然在这里不能否定大家的这种做法。但是大家一定不可以盲目的刷题,选择复习题的时候不要盲目跟风,最好是选择剑桥的真题,并且根据那个时段的出题情况来选择题目类型,做到与考题动态保持一致。在做题的时候大家也可以选择3篇文章中自己最为熟悉的一题先做,有利于增添信息。在做完了题目之后不要只是草草对完答案了事,而是要将题目精读分析考点,整理词汇。提升整体的阅读水平。
雅思阅读复习误区二,单词混乱记忆
都说的词汇者得阅读,可见词汇在阅读中的重要性。但是很多烤鸭的备考雅思阅读复习坏习惯则是抱着厚重词汇书或是字典,从A到Z死记硬背。这样方法不但不能提高词汇量反而还会增加记忆的难度。
雅思阅读的4000个,但想要熟练的掌握雅思阅读词汇,只要弄明白那些单词是考试重点,重点突破考试词汇。就算没有足够的时间去背4000个单词,也能够考到不错的分数。
雅思阅读复习误区三:怀抱消极心态
在考试的时候难免会有心态问题,对自己缺乏自信,导致考场上紧张焦虑。而且一些烤鸭在考完听力之后发现听力很糟糕,随之就完全影响了阅读的成绩。
雅思阅读复习误区四:时间欠缺规划
有些烤鸭性子慢,喜欢慢慢做题,品味每一个细节,但是这样下来1个小时可能只能做完2篇文章。这样的速度是很难拿到高分的。这里建议大家可以直接先看题,根据题目定位做题。可以有效提高速度。
有慢慢做题的烤鸭就一定会有飞速完成的烤鸭,但结果相同是这样的得分也并不会高。很多人用40分钟就完成了所有的题,然后也不检查,就玩玩笔看看别人。
在阅读考试中如果缺少了时间的规划,很容易造成严重失分,针对这一雅思阅读复习坏习惯,还是建议烤鸭们为自己的做题时间进行规划,在规定的时间范围内完成考题。
雅思阅读复习误区五:纠结答案选项
为了考到高分,烤鸭们都会一直沉溺与对于答案的纠结。给自己造成了过大的压力,结果反而是一塌糊涂。在考试这种关键的时刻,为了分数,大家还是可以考虑该猜就猜,学会舍弃,将精力放在有把握的考题上去。判断题如果定位不到,也不要浪费时间再看一遍了,意义绝对的就选FALSE或NO,相对的就选TRUE或者YES。这个方法虽然不是一个正确的方法,但是在大家对答案犹豫不决时,也是一个节省时间的好办法。
最后提醒各位考鸭,雅思考试时间很紧张,不要花时间纠结考试的答案,争取在最短的时间内把题目做完,有时间再回头检查。在备考雅思阅读考试时,不要盲目题海战术,也不要只背单词,多关注雅思阅读文章中的单词,做题要注意时间规划和心态的调整。关注小站雅思频道,获取更多雅思考试相关资讯。祝各位考鸭早日和雅思分手。
雅思考试阅读模拟练习及答案
Rogue theory of smell gets a boost
1. A controversial theory of how we smell, which claims that our fine sense of odour depends on quantum mechanics, has been given the thumbs up by a team of physicists.
2. Calculations by researchers at University College London (UCL) show that the idea that we smell odour molecules by sensing their molecular vibrations makes sense in terms of the physics involved.
3. That’s still some way from proving that the theory, proposed in the mid-1990s by biophysicist Luca Turin, is correct. But it should make other scientists take the idea more seriously.
4. “This is a big step forward,” says Turin, who has now set up his own perfume company Flexitral in Virginia. He says that since he published his theory, “it has been ignored rather than criticized.”
5. Most scientists have assumed that our sense of smell depends on receptors in the nose detecting the shape of incoming molecules, which triggers a signal to the brain. This molecular ’lock and key’ process is thought to lie behind a wide range of the body’s detection systems: it is how some parts of the immune system recognise invaders, for example, and how the tongue recognizes some tastes.
6. But Turin argued that smell doesn’t seem to fit this picture very well. Molecules that look almost identical can smell very different — such as alcohols, which smell like spirits, and thiols, which smell like rotten eggs. And molecules with very different structures can smell similar. Most strikingly, some molecules can smell different — to animals, if not necessarily to humans — simply because they contain different isotopes (atoms that are chemically identical but have a different mass)。
7. Turin’s explanation for these smelly facts invokes the idea that the smell signal in olfactory receptor proteins is triggered not by an odour molecule’s shape, but by its vibrations, which can enourage an electron to jump between two parts of the receptor in a quantum-mechanical process called tunnelling. This electron movement could initiate the smell signal being sent to the brain.
8. This would explain why isotopes can smell different: their vibration frequencies are changed if the atoms are heavier. Turin’s mechanism, says Marshall Stoneham of the UCL team, is more like swipe-card identification than a key fitting a lock.
9. Vibration-assisted electron tunnelling can undoubtedly occur — it is used in an experimental technique for measuring molecular vibrations. “The question is whether this is possible in the nose,” says Stoneham’s colleague, Andrew Horsfield.
10. Stoneham says that when he first heard about Turin’s idea, while Turin was himself based at UCL, “I didn’t believe it”。 But, he adds, “because it was an interesting idea, I thought I should prove it couldn’t work. I did some simple calculations, and only then began to feel Luca could be right.” Now Stoneham and his co-workers have done the job more thoroughly, in a paper soon to be published in Physical Review Letters.
11. The UCL team calculated the rates of electron hopping in a nose receptor that has an odorant molecule bound to it. This rate depends on various properties of the biomolecular system that are not known, but the researchers could estimate these parameters based on typical values for molecules of this sort.
12. The key issue is whether the hopping rate with the odorant in place is significantly greater than that without it. The calculations show that it is — which means that odour identification in this way seems theoretically possible.
13. But Horsfield stresses that that’s different from a proof of Turin’s idea. “So far things look plausible, but we need proper experimental verification. We’re beginning to think about what experiments could be performed.”
14. Meanwhile, Turin is pressing ahead with his hypothesis. “At Flexitral we have been designing odorants exclusively on the basis of their computed vibrations,” he says. “Our success rate at odorant discovery is two orders of magnitude better than the competition.” At the very least, he is putting his money where his nose is.

(by Zhou Hong)
Answer Keys and Explanations
1. T 见第一段。“give sth the thumbs up”为“接受“的意思。
2. F 见第三段。 “That’s still some way from proving that the theory, proposed in the mid- 1990s by biophysicist Luca Turin, is correct.”意即“现在尚无法证实生物物理学家Luca在九十年代中期提出的理论是否正确。”
3. NG
4. T 见第六段 “Molecules that look almost identical can smell very different — such as alcohols, which smell like spirits, and thiols, which smell like rotten eggs.”“identical” 一词是“完全相同”的意思。这句话是说alcohols和thiols的分子结构看起来一样,但是它们的味道却相去甚远。
5. Luca Turin 文章第二,三和七段均可看出Luca的理论即人类的鼻子是通过感觉气味分子的震动来分辨气味的。
6. Virginia 见第四段。
7. tongue 见第五段 “This molecular ’lock and key’ process is thought to lie behind a wide range of the body’s detection systems: it is how some parts of the immune system recognise invaders, for example, and how the tongue recognizes some tastes.”
8. the atoms 见第八段 “This would explain why isotopes can smell different: their vibration frequencies are changed if the atoms are heavier.”
9. vibration-assisted electron tunneling 见第九段 ““The question is whether this is possible in the nose,” says Stoneham’s colleague, Andrew Horsfield.” 句中的代词“this”指句首的“vibration-assisted electron tunneling”。
10. Andrew Horsfield 见第九段结尾。
11.proper experimental verification 见第十三段。
12.their computed vibrations 见第十四段
精品阶段的学生通常具有大学英语CET4 及以上水平,这个阶段的学生往往具备一定的应试能力,也有相应的自信心,但通常距离自己的目标分数还有一定的距离,相当一部分学生的英语学习状态进入瓶颈阶段,不知道接下来该怎么努力。本文中,将就解决这一问题的策略进行探讨,并期待抛砖引玉,与学生和老师们共同研讨。
雅思阅读进阶策略
一、关于有效阅读
人们阅读时往往停留在刚开始学习阅读时的状态,所学得的技巧是如何读“词”,了解词义对于理解文章是必需的,但是不够的。要想进行更有效地阅读,还必须采取另一个层次的阅读方式,即阅读文章的内容和结构,这是由于雅思阅读考试的考核目标除了对文章细节的理解能力以外,还有对文章综合大意的把握能力,换言之,考察学生阅读文章的方式和理解文章的能力。因此,考生不能仅满足于词汇的知晓,还应注意培养阅读时从大处着眼,高屋建瓴,从文章结构来加强对整体大意理解的能力。
二、了解文章结构
了解文章结构对提高阅读效率非常必要,但实力不够强的考生达到这个目标还需要多加练习。
在剑桥雅思系列文章中,有一种实验类文章经常会在真题中出现。例如剑V系列的Test 1中的Passage 2, Nature or Nurture, 该文选自Paradigms Lost, 在讲述此次试验的过程中,一步步展示出文章结构,文章写作思路相当清晰,遵循了‘话题引入 – 介绍试验宗旨 / 目的— 试验操作— 预计结果— 公布结果— 讨论/分析 – 展望 / 提出新的课题 ’的线索,如果考生能够体会到这样的结构,无疑会使应对后面的问题变得轻松。不仅判断题的信息所在位置变得明确,而且对于考生普遍畏惧的段落标题配对题也会提升正确率。
事实上不仅实验类文章如此,其他如说明类,议论类都有内在的规律可以遵循,只要考生善于思考,勤于练习,就一定会有收获。
三、概括句子大意
备考雅思的学生一定会对阅读文章中出现的长难句留有深刻的印象。由于文章是建立在专业基础上针对非专业学生的阅读,所以其学术化,句子偏长也就在所难免了。然而考试时间紧,题目多,压力大,对于长难句若没有解决策略,将使考生感觉雪上加霜。
那么,如何提高对于长难句的理解能力呢?
练习让长难句减肥,抽取主干成分的有效信息来概括句子大意是行之有效的方法之一。
通常可以将位于句子不同位置的修饰成分去掉,一般为定语,状语,补语以及插入语等,而保留主干成分的主语,谓语,宾语结构,以简化句子结构,利于理解。但是需注意,要联系上下文,若不能通顺,则要将原来句子中的一些修饰成分逐一补回,说明其中的某些修饰成分如定语,状语是语义表达的核心。
如果在操作过程中出现了对句子成分的模糊或不理解,要尽快补足语法上的欠缺,主要是句子成分方面的知识点。
四、识别文章类型
阅读真题中出现频率较高的三种文章类型分别为描述型,阐释原因型以及论述结果型。考生要训练自己在阅读中辨别所读文章属于哪种类型,以更好地了解作者的写作意图,利于解题。
雅思阅读材料大集合:学校能擅自给孩子吃药吗?
Should schools give children medicine without parental permission?
未经家长允许,学校能给孩子吃药吗?
That's the question that has been reverberating in parental circles across China after news emerged that a string of kindergartens were allegedly dispensing antiviral drugs without parents' consent.
这个问题最近在中国的家长圈子里激起层层涟漪,导火索是中国多所幼儿园被指在未获得家长允许的情况下向儿童分发抗病毒药物。
China's official Xinhua News Agency reported that four kindergarten programs--two in Xian in western Shaanxi province, one in central Hubei and another in northeastern Jilin--have been shut due to the problem, with some parents saying their children were suffering from leg pains, nosebleeds and genital inflammation after taking the medicine.
据中国官方媒体新华社报道,四所幼儿园因相关问题被关闭,其中两所位于中国西部 西省西安市、一所位于华中的湖北省,还有一所在东北的吉林省,一些家长说,他们的孩子在服药后出现腿痛、流鼻血、生殖器肿胀等症状。
Authorities are investigating the matter, and three people in Jilin have been detained in connection with the allegations, Xinhua said. Five others from schools in Xian have also been detained, Xinhua said.
新华社说,有关当局正在调查此事,吉林已有三人被拘捕。新华社说,西安幼儿园也有五人被拘捕。
The issue came to light Friday, after one parent in Xian found her daughter had brought home a prescription flu pill. Other cases came to light as the news spread.
这起事件在上周五曝光,当时西安一名家长发现女儿将一片处方感冒药带回了家。随着消息扩散,其他事例也被曝光。
Xinhua says that money appears to be a motivating factor. Some parents believe the schools were trying to ward off sickness to ensure students didn't take sick days, it said. Many private kindergartens and preschools in China charge by the number of days students attend school, so fewer sick days equals more money for the teachers.
新华社报道说,驱使幼儿园这样做的原因似乎是金钱。报道称,一些家长认为,幼儿园的目的是防止孩子生病缺勤。中国许多幼儿园都是按孩子入园的天数收费,因此减少病假缺勤天数就意味着教师能有更多收入。
Others have cited the fact that there is no law prohibiting the practice as a contributing factor.
还有人认为,没有法律明文禁止这种行为也是造成这一结果的因素之一。
'Although their actions were wrong, there is no ban based on law. In other words, it's not illegal for an immoral kindergarten to give children unauthorized medications,' Li Jing, the deputy head of Beijing's private Sunny High Scope Kindergarten told the China Daily.
北京私立的阳光高瞻国际幼儿园教师李静对《中国日报》说,虽然他们的行为不对,但法律没有明文禁止;换句话说,不道德的幼儿园未经允许就给孩子吃药并不违法。
The drugs given to students are cheap, just a few cents per pill, said Justin Wang, a partner and director in the Shanghai office of consultancy L.E.K. Consulting LLC, and economic incentives were likely high enough to convince teachers to take the risk.
咨询公司L.E.K. Consulting LLC上海办事处合伙人兼主管王景烨(Justin Wang)说,幼儿园给孩子吃的药很便宜,一片才几分钱,而经济刺激可能足够高,让老师愿意冒这个险。
Parents of school-age children say schools in China typically require parental consent before administering medication. However, health practices in China's education system vary drastically from the U.S. Some Chinese schools get parental consent to conduct health checks that involve procedures like blood and urine tests; school health checks in the U.S. are often limited to screenings for eyesight, lice and scoliosis.
学龄儿童的家长说,学校在组织用药前通常会征求家长同意。但中国教育系统的卫生保健做法与美国迥异。一些中国学校会在征得家长同意后进行涉及血液和尿液检测的体检,而美国的学校体检通常仅限于视力、虱子和脊柱侧弯的筛查。
Many parents in China say schools frequently inform them when their children are sick and before performing health checks. Still, schools usually provide only scant information, said Elaine Wang, a mother of two children in local Beijing schools.
很多中国家长说,在孩子生病时和接受体检前,学校经常会通知他们。有两个孩子在北京当地上学的Elaine Wang说,但学校通常只提供有限的信息。
'They inform you that there will be a health screening, but they don't say what happens during those screenings,' Ms. Wang said.
Wang说,他们会通知你孩子需要体检,但不会告诉你体检过程中具体会发生什么。
雅思阅读材料大集合:男士美容保养
LAST NOVEMBER, my female co-workers at The Wall Street Journal discovered that the sole product I used on my face was soap. Their reaction to this mundane revelation wasn't all that nice. They began calling me 'the man who doesn't moisturize.' As in, 'Would you ask the man who doesn't moisturize if I can borrow his stapler?'
去年11月,我在《华尔街日报》(The Wall Street Journal)的女同事发现了我用在脸上的唯一产品是香皂。对于这个平淡无奇的发现,她们的反应并不那么友好。她们开始叫我“不用保湿霜的男人”。比如她们会说,“你能问问那个不用保湿霜的男人,我能借他的订书机用一下吗?”
One of our style editors took pity. 'You've never moisturized?' she asked gently. 'I don't remember,' I admitted. Judging by her expression, she graciously decided to assume I had amnesia. 'Well, we'll have to do something about that,' she said. And so began my eye-opening, skin-altering, brain-addling, four-month adventure in the world of male beauty regimens.
我们的一个时尚编辑表示同情。她轻声问道:“你从没做过保湿吗?”我承认:“我不记得了。”从表情来看,她优雅地断定我有健忘症。她说:“好吧,我们得做点儿什么。”于是我开始了历时四个月在男士美容世界里大开眼界和脱胎换骨的脑补探险旅程。
First, a little background. It isn't that I am unaware of the guy-beauty industrial complex. I know, for instance, that Clinique basically started it all with its pioneering men's skin-care line in 1976--a program it's relaunching this month. According to Jenny Belknap, vice president of global treatment marketing, the relaunch was triggered by the company's discovery that, while women traditionally bought the men's products for their husbands and sons, 'we firmly understand that now men are buying for themselves.' To make the line more male-friendly and less boggling, Clinique is cutting back from 25 products to 19 and shortening product names. Not that men seem all that intimidated by skin care: According to Mintel, a Chicago-based market research group, 63% of guys 25-34 report that they use moisturizer.
首先介绍一点背景。我并非不知道男士美容的产业联盟。比如我知道倩碧(Clinique)基本上是靠它1976年首创的男士护肤系列发展起来的――本月又即将重新推出。其全球护肤业务营销副总裁珍妮贝尔纳普(Jenny Belknap)表示,这次重新推出是因为公司发现,虽然过去都是女性为丈夫和儿子购买男士产品,但“我们坚信,现在男士们都是自己购买”。为了让这个系列对男性更加友好而且更容易让人接受,倩碧把产品数量从25件减到了19件,并且缩短了产品的名字。并不是所有男士都对护肤感到畏惧:据芝加哥市场研究机构英敏特(Mintel)调查,25岁至34岁的男士中,有63%的人称自己使用保湿霜。
Though I am legitimately hazy regarding my own historic moistness levels, I did go through an exceptionally vain phase in my mid-to-late 20s, a couple of decades ago. I had a Manhattan stylist renowned as the 'King of Blondes' highlight my hair, whose natural color suggests a particularly lackluster mouse. I visited a Mexican spa where a bored local woman rolled me in seaweed as if fashioning a giant joint. I spent wads of money on stress-relieving massages, including one that concluded abruptly when the theretofore silent, aged Asian masseur stopped kneading my right shoulder and shrieked, 'The wing is broken! The wing is broken! It cannot carry the child!'
尽管我对自己脸部的湿度情况一直不清不楚,但几十年前,在我25到30岁之间那几年,我的确经历过花时间 饬的阶段。当时被誉为“金发之王”(King of Blondes)的一位曼哈顿造型师给我做了头发挑染,我本身的自然发色就像一只毫无生气的老鼠。我去了一家墨西哥水疗中心,一个百无聊赖的当地女人用海草把我卷起来,就像卷一支巨大的大麻烟。我花了大把钱在缓解压力的按摩上,包括那次遇见一个上了年纪的亚洲男按摩师。他默默揉捏着我的右肩,突然停下来尖叫道:“翅膀断了!翅膀断了!它没法带幼仔了!”那次按摩就意外结束了。
I remember at one point growing convinced that my boss was monitoring my under-eye puffiness, but, soon after, I regained my equilibrium. My grooming routine was gradually reduced to: unscented Dove soap, Barbasol shaving foam, interchangeable drugstore shampoos and some despised hair gel that made me feel like one of those oil-coated ducks blinking in the aftermath of the E_on Valdez disaster.
我记得有段时间我坚信老板在观察我浮肿的眼袋,但不久后我重新找到了平衡。我的日常梳洗用品逐渐缩减成:无香型多芬(Dove)香皂,Barbasol剃须泡沫,各个牌子的超市洗发水,还有被人鄙视的发胶,这款发胶让我觉得自己是埃克森?瓦尔迪兹号(E_on Valdez)漏油事件发生后,满身油光闪闪的鸭群里的一员。
So, naturally, I was wary when the aforementioned style editor dumped a box of skin-care and grooming product samples on my desk: 'We'll start with these,' she said. 'You'll use four products at night and eight in the morning.' I nervously mentioned that I didn't live in an alternate universe where mornings last 107 hours. 'Just get up earlier,' she said.
所以很自然的,在上文中提到的时尚编辑把一盒护肤和梳洗产品小样扔到我桌上时,我非常谨慎。她说:“我们先从这些开始。晚上你要用四种产品,早晨用八种。”我紧张地提到我并不是生活在早晨有107小时的另一个宇宙。她说:“那就起早点。”
In the shower the next day, I washed my hair with my new Davines Love Smoothing Shampoo, a pricey Italian product designed to rehabilitate messed-up hair, and immediately felt like some dapper Milanese guy who eats oddly shaped pizzas and whose apartment is full of strange, half-size appliances. Next, I used Clark's Botanicals Face Wash (a soothing, mild, herbal goop) and shaved my face with what appeared to be pink icing, but was really a premium rose-scented cream from the storied British company Geo. F. Trumper. Next came a spray toner, an antiaging serum and the pivotal moisturizer (mine came from the Jack Black brand). Then I did a few jumping jacks to maintain my stamina and applied an age-combatting smidge of La Mer Eye Concentrate under each peeper using the complementary wand. (Wands? Arguably manly in wake of Harry Potter phenomenon? Discuss.)
第二天早晨洗澡时,我用新的Davines Love Smoothing洗发水洗了头发,这是一款价格昂贵的意大利产品,专门修复受损头发。洗了以后我立刻觉得自己像是一个衣冠楚楚的米兰人,吃着奇形怪状的披萨,公寓里全是奇怪的小型家电。接着我用Clark's植物洁面乳(一种舒缓温和的草药黏液)洗脸, 然后用一种看似像粉色糖霜但实际上来自知名英国公司Geo. F. Trumper的高级玫瑰香剃须膏刮胡子。接下来是爽肤水喷雾和抗衰老乳液,还有关键的保湿霜(我用的牌子是Jack Black)。接着我做了几组开合跳保持活力,然后用附送的魔法棒在每只眼睛的下眼睑涂了点 La Mer抗衰老眼霜精华。(魔法棒?哈利?波特(Harry Potter)现象后应该算是男子气的装备了吧?可以讨论一下。)
Finally, I groomed my hair with Baxter of California Soft Water Pomade, which gave my hair the texture of a mink pelt, but was still a bit greasy for my taste.
最后,我在头发上抹了点Baxter of California软水发膏,让我的头发有了光华毛皮的质地,但对我来说还是有点油。
I walked to the subway feeling fresh and tingly and evangelical about the value of taking time to value oneself. I also felt a little like Patrick Bateman, the murderous skin care devotee from 'American Psycho,' but was too busy caressing my curiously soft face to brood on that. Upon reaching the subway 15 minutes later, I realized that, in my heady self-absorption, I'd forgotten my wallet. I felt less evangelical running home again.
我走到地铁站,觉得很清爽,对于花时间珍惜自己的价值也感到很兴奋。我还觉得自己有点像帕特里克?贝特曼(Patrick Bateman),就是《美国精神病人》(American Psycho)里热衷护肤的杀人狂,但我忙着抚摸我那异常柔软的脸,无暇去思考这些。15分钟后到达地铁站时,我意识到,自我陶醉让我忘记了拿钱包。再折回家时我的热情就没那么高涨了。
By day three, the tingliness had given way to a burning sensation around my jaw. Was this my choice: To feel youthful but on fire versus old and content? The culprit turned out to be the rose shaving cream, which the style editor replaced with Proraso Shaving Foam for 'pelli sensibili' (sensitive skin). After carefully testing this amazing product, I can honestly tell you that it's fun to say 'pelli sensibili' repeatedly in a heavy Italian accent.
到第三天,那种兴奋感消失了,取而代之的是下巴周围的灼烧感。我需要做出选择:是觉得年轻但有刺痛感还是觉得老而满足?罪魁祸首原来是那支玫瑰剃须膏,时尚编辑把它换成了敏感肌肤(pelli sensibili)适用的Proraso剃须膏。小心翼翼地对这款不可思议的产品进行试用后,我可以老实告诉你,用浓重的意大利口音重复说“pelli sensibili”很有意思。
And so it went. As I continued my regimen, either my skin improved visibly or my colleagues formed a vast conspiracy that required them to gush about my face. I asked non-coworker friends if they noticed anything different about me, but they were stumped and resistant to broad hints. Still I could swear that, in a certain group photo taken at a steakhouse about seven weeks into my program, I look like a cast member of a teen drama on the CW Network: weirdly lineless, buoyant, possibly a vampire.
于是我继续用这些东西。随着护肤的持续,要么我的皮肤有了明显改善,要么就是我的同事串通好了对我的脸进行议论。我问非同事的朋友有没有注意到我有什么异样,但他们都很为难,不愿意给出提示。不过我仍然可以断定,护肤计划进行七周左右,在某家牛排餐厅所拍的某张合照里,我看起来肯定像是哥伦比亚及华纳兄弟联合电视网(CW network)某部青春偶像剧里的演员:皱纹出奇的少,光彩照人,像极了吸血鬼。
By week 12, long after my co-workers had acclimatized to the undocumented miracle that was my face, I was bored by my regimen's demands and losing my motivation. I decided to tempt fate by subbing out my original, conventional moisturizer for Clinique's new Oil-Control Mattifying Moisturizer. Life so seldom offers opportunities to be 'mattified' that it seemed worth the risk. But, although the product left my skin powder-dry and Botox-taut, I was still feeling restless.
到第12周,在同事们早就习惯我脸上潜移默化的奇迹后,我对护肤计划的要求产生了厌倦,失去了动力。我决定冒险把倩碧新型控油保湿霜换成原来的传统保湿霜。生活提供“被控油”的机会太少了,所以我似乎值得冒这个险。不过,虽然这款产品让我的皮肤干爽紧绷,但我仍然觉得不安。
The style editor decided we needed to seriously up the ante and helped me book a facial with celebrity youthifier Tracie Martyn, who's rejuvenated Brad Pitt, Alan Rickman and Madonna. When I arrived at Ms. Martyn's Fifth Avenue penthouse studio, I was taken aback by the estrogen-y décor, which is entirely lavender and white with gauzy curtains that should properly be billowing in a strong breeze. A Borzoi would not be out of place. I was told that I'd been squeezed in between Diane von Furstenberg and a businessman who'd just run a marathon.
时尚编辑认为我们需要下更大的血本,她帮我预定了明星焕肤专家特蕾西?马丁(Tracie Martyn)的面部护理。马丁为布拉德?皮特(Brad Pitt)、艾伦?里克曼(Alan Rickman)和麦当娜(Madonna)做过青春焕肤。到达马丁在第五大道的顶层公寓工作室时,我因为其充满女性气质的装潢而吃了一惊,里面全是淡紫色和白色,薄纱窗 在微风袭来时应该会摇曳生姿。再养一只波索犬(Borzoi)也不会显得突兀。我得知自己被安排在黛安?冯?芙丝汀宝(Diane von Furstenberg)和一位刚跑过马拉松的商人之间。
'About 20% of my clientele is male,' Ms. Martyn, a hypnotically placid Brit, told me once she had me on her table. As she applied potions with darting little swipes, tightened my jawline with a tool that emits electricity, and exposed me to red light that she said once healed astronaut wounds, she mentioned a male 60-something lawyer who visits her every week. She started cooing excitedly as my face responded--brilliantly, it seemed--to the electricity: 'Oh, it's looking very good.'
马丁是一个异常平和的英国人。我一躺上化妆台就听她告诉我说:“约有20%的客户是男性。” 她迅速地给我擦上药水,用释放电流的一个工具紧实我的下巴轮廓,然后让我照射她声称曾经用于修复宇航员伤口的红光。她提到一位60多岁、每周都来的男律师。随着我的脸对电流有了反应――看上去很亮泽――她开始兴奋地嚷道:“噢,看起来非常棒。”
Back at the office, I stared at my face in the bathroom mirror, searching for evidence that it was more chiseled. One cheekbone looked pointier, but I couldn't be sure.
回到办公室,我在卫生间的镜子前观察自己的脸,寻找轮廓更分明的证据。一边的颧骨更尖了,但我不能确定。
Confession: In the end, I abandoned all the products in my regime, except for the Italian shampoo, the 'pelli sensibili' shave foam and a truly addictive cleanser from Tracie Martyn that I added post-facial. Turns out that I'm just not vain enough to fuss with wands in the pursuit of advanced male beauty. I still moisturize occasionally--if only to ward off ridicule.
告白:最后我放弃了护肤计划中的所有产品,除了那款意大利洗发水、敏感肌肤适用的剃须泡沫和特雷西?马丁的一款我在做面部护理前用过的洁面乳,这款洁面乳让我用了还想用。事实上我只是没有足够的闲工夫费那么多讲究去追求高级男性美。我仍旧还是会偶尔做做保湿――即使只是为了避免别人的嘲笑。
雅思写作task1复习策略分享
一、时间倾斜
雅思复习关于听说读写4个方面,还有2个基础,即词汇和语法,考生们想做的依然有3件事,背单词,练听力和做阅读。背单词使得大家有学习的感觉,当练习听力与做阅读不但使得你有学习的感觉,还有一种期待,期待正确率提高给自己心情带来的愉悦。而口语和写作练习相对较少,以写作为例,其一是由于大家普遍写作练习较少,写作水平不高,因此开始在规定的时间内无法完成作文,或者对自己写出的作文充满了厌恶;二是因为写出的作文无法衡量优劣,没有办法看到自己的进步。这样形成恶性循环,中国同学普遍阅读和听力分数较高,而口语和写作分数偏低。
二、资料充分
1. (《剑桥雅思系列3-7》)
2.《雅思写作高分胜经》、群言出版社
3. www.51ielts.com
如今在市场上的雅思资料不是太少,而是太多,良莠不齐,乱花的确迷人眼。人的精力有限,可以在有限的时间里把主要的资料复习抓住才是上策,在以上的2本书加上对写作复习已经足够。

雅思写作范文:只有游客参观古迹
Task:Many museums and historical sites are mainly visited by tourists, not local people. Why is this the case and what can be done to attract local people.
Sample answer:
Museums and historical sites are the sanctuary where we can acquire historical knowledge and cultural heritage. However, it has become less attractive to the local recently. As well as discussing the factors contributing to this trend. This essay will try to find its solutions.
It is apparent that many local people assume that they are consciously aware of their cities. And they feel less fresh if they have appreciated such places ever before. In addition, many museum and sites are chargeable. As a result. The local prefer to enjoy their leisure time at home rather than in museum or historical sites.
The inescapable fact is that Museums and historical sites are always the first option to many tourists. For one thing, they can pay the least spending as well as enjoy the most local knowledge and scenery. For another thing, the revenue of museums and historical sites account for the most local tourism. Governments are more pleased to attract tourists to these two places rather than to the locals. If this situation still continues in the future, there will be less local visiting to the museums and historical sites.
One main solution is to enrich their diversity of activities. Museums can hold some larruping activities, such as Healthy Lecture and Civil Sporting Meeting. These activities will not only arouse the enthusiasm of citizens, but also add some color to this city. Besides, at some degree, lowing the price to draw more visits is also a feasible solution.
To summarise, tourists will continuously choose museum and historical sites as their must-visits. However, it is still necessary to take some actions to maintain the local’s visiting.

雅思写作范文:提高教学质量
Task:To improve the quality of education, people think that we should encourage our students to evaluate and criticize their teachers. Others believe that it will result in a loss of respect and discipline in the classroom. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Sample answer:
Nowadays, whether evaluating and criticising teachers should be supported in the classroom has become a controversial issue. From my perspective, evaluation and criticism of teachers are necessary for the improvement of education if they are objective and reasonable.
On the one hand, proposing changes to teachers’ lesson content contributes to the improvement of teaching quality. Usually, it is difficult for teachers to realise the mistakes and slips in their teaching unless students remind them. Additionally, teachers may not clearly know what students have known and want to know when planning their lessons. If students can put forward their ideas and suggestions towards the lesson, it will be of great help for teachers to upgrade the teaching projects. Moreover, trying to evaluate teachers’ lesson is particularly beneficial for students’ academic and career development in the future. The modern education emphasises criticism and innovation. Undoubtedly, it is an effective way for students to debate or discuss with teachers.
On the other hand, the disruptive students will probably disturb the class and negatively affect both teaching and learning outcomes. When students voice their opinions in the classroom, it will be hard to maintain the order and discipline and the teachers may feel disrespected. Also, students will suffer a loss in terms of knowledge and other learning content. This is because teachers always devote much to delivering knowledge and explaining theories. If they are disrupted, the teaching plan may not be able to be fulfilled. As a result, both teachers and students have to face a loss in the quality of education.
To sum up, it can be recommended that students evaluate and criticise teachers in the classroom on the premise that they have decent manners without disturbing the learning atmosphere. Only in this way will teachers and students achieve a win-win outcome in education.

雅思写作范文:先旅游or先工作?
Task:School leavers go travelling or work before they go directly to university. Are there more advantages or disadvantages on their study?
Sample answer:
Before the beginning of university, students who wish to continue with their education face two probable choice--either suspend their study for a year to obtain work and travel experience, or go directly into university. I will analyze the pros and cons of these two choices below.
A year’s time to work or travel before university has been popular among young people in recent years. In fact, students can obtain several good points by doing this. To begin with, students can enhance their life skills and maintain a balance between their studies and work from the one yeat experience. They will become more independent during this meaningful process. Also, they can identify career preference and areas of interests during travelling, which will help them to decide their major in university.
However, one year’s work or travel also has its obvious disadvantages. Coming fresh out og high school, students do not have a clear understanding of the harsh realities of the world. They are not in a strong position to undertake early employment. Besides, young people are not able to make a correct career decision. Choosing a career requires sufficient knowledge of one’s own strengths, aptitudes and the trends in job market. Most young adults lack such knowledge. Moreover, travelling and working will divert young people’s attention from their previous objectives. If students give up the opportunity of being educated and pursue other ventures, they will lose their willpower to learn something carefully and patiently. The side effect of disengagement from schooling might not be significant in the first several years, but it will surly disadvantages them a lot in a long run.
To conclude, work or travel before university has its advantages and disadvantages. In fact, the disadvantages outweigh advantages.
