下面小编给大家整理的如何提高雅思阅读能力（共含10篇），欢迎阅读!同时，但愿您也能像本文投稿人“陆钓雪de飘飘”一样，积极向本站投稿分享好文章。
不少学生反映在考试中阅读的时间最紧张，常常是做完了两个section,时间也快到了。的确，在60分钟的时间里，不仅要阅读完总共约3500字的文章，并且要完成40道题目，还要准确无误地将40个题目的答案誊写到答题卡上。这无疑对考生的阅读速度提出了很高的要求。
对于学生们在课上和做题中的有些情况，我把影响同学做好阅读题的原因和解决方法归为以下三个：
首先，当然是词汇。任何一篇内容相对复杂的阅读文章，都不可避免地出现大量生僻词语或者是难度相对较大的单词。从文章的选材而言，范围是十分丰富的，主要来自世界各国主要的英文报刊杂志，内容涉及任何一个国家的文化、经济、自然和科技等。而ielts考试所考查的，是实际运用语言的能力，所以在考试中真正需要理解的单词，或是题目中真正考查到的单词，往往是英语阅读中的一些最核心的单词。这些单词虽然数量不多，难度不大，但却是必须掌握的。就考试而言，掌握6000左右的常用词汇，即大学六级大纲中所要求的词汇是必须的。
第二，复杂的句型结构。有些同学的词汇量已经达到了6000左右，但是依然感觉读不懂文章，这就是因为文章中充斥着大量结构复杂难以把握的复杂句。如：thechallengenow is to develop policies and practices based on apresumption ofshared responsibility between men and women, and apresumption thatthere are potential benefits for men and women, aswell as forfamilies and the community, if there is greater genderequality inthe responsibilities and pleasures of familylife.这是一个相对复杂的句子，主干是the challenge now is to develop policiesandpractices,从basedon到句子的结尾处是由过去分词短语充当的状语。后一个presumption后面有一个由that引导的从句，充当presumption的同位语。在同位语的后面，有一个if引导的条件状语从句。一般而言，对同学们造成障碍的是并列句或并列复合句，倒装结构，所以在训练时可以精挑一个语段做仔细分析。
第三，题型多样化。这个障碍使原本已经拥有相当英语语言实力的考生，在考试中因为缺乏对题型的理解，或是被众多题型干扰，不能正常发挥。一些必考题型如listofheadings,summary,t/f/ng等，可以作为练习重点。如summary题是很多同学感到头痛的题型，普遍感到非常难找。其实不然，只要记住两大原则即可。原则一，顺序原则。summary题的答案排列顺序，必定与文章的行文顺序一致。原则二，完整的summary，不仅应该能够体现文章本身所表达的思想含义，而且必须是符合语法规律的英语文章。所以根据语法也可以进行判断。
在准备考试的过程中，除了要做ielts考题之外，还要进行泛读和快速阅读。泛读可以选择一些英美主流媒体的文章，在网站上可以找到，目的是熟悉单词和句型。快速阅读就是用扫描文章的方法对其结构有大致的了解，并把握其主旨。同时，在重点句子和词汇上做出标记。这种方法对阅读考试帮助极大，平时可多加练习。另外，为了提高阅读的速度还要养成良好的阅读习惯，不能边看边用嘴跟着读，眼、嘴并用必会降低阅读速度；一旦发现生词（这种情况绝大多数同学都肯定要遇到），先不要紧张，要通过英语构词法（前缀、词根和后缀）来分析推测词义，或结合上下文、前后词语去猜测，如果根据上下文及前后词语还是无法确切了解其真正含义，可以再看一下这个词对整个句子所构成的影响是肯定的，还是否定的，实际上这对你理解作者的意图已足够了，实在不行就做上记号，将来看一看是否影响答题，如无影响就坚决忽略。
知道这些之后 我的雅思阅读能力竟成倍提升?
考生们都说雅思阅读难，难在时间不够和题型复杂，想要追求阅读做题速度却又担心做题正确率?小站雅思君觉得雅思阅读提高没那么难，备考期间你只需要做到这几点，轻松突破雅思阅读提分瓶颈。
在冲刺阶段，考生们还有大约1-2个月的备考时间，这段时间，考生们要明确有的放矢。首先要明确自己的阅读词汇量有没有储备足够?针对长难句如何用语法知识解决?对于雅思阅读各项题型的做题技巧有没有熟练掌握?有了词汇量和语法的支撑，考生的做题速度会比最初备考阶段快很多，接下来的时间就是技巧层面的掌握情况，决定你是否能继续加速。而到了最后阶段，考生们只需要做一些细节上的修补。
关于雅思词汇量：雅思考试的词汇量约为6000~8000词。这是一道硬线，至于词汇量的选择，如何高效记忆，考生们应该有自己的方法，这里不赘述，小站雅思君觉得考生们最好是选择以剑雅真题阅读文章为词汇源，边做题边记忆。
关于语法知识：主要的长难句都是由简单句构成，破解长难句最快的方法是拆分句子成分，无非是各类定语从句，状语从句，以并列、伴随、条件、转折等形式组合而成。考生第一步是找到核心句，再通过拆解的结构找到从句即可。
举个例子：(剑雅5 T1的第二篇文章)Thus, in this explanation the subject merges his unique personality and personal and moral code with that of larger institutional structures, surrendering individual properties like loyalty, self-sacrifice and discipline to the service of malevolent systems of authority.
乍一看句子很长，拆分句子结构后发现整段的主句是：the subject merges his unique personality and personal and moral code with that of larger institutional structures”而伴随状语是“surrendering individual properties like loyalty, self-sacrifice and discipline to the service of malevolent systems of authority.”
接下来是重点：关于雅思阅读题型解题技巧
雅思阅读题型很复杂，但拆分合并之后就只有这几种：常规的选择题、填空题，判断题、段落标记题及信息匹配题。以这5大类题型再做各种题型的变换。
雅思阅读提高之：选择题
选择题一般是单选，但也有多项选择。首先审题，选择题一定要迅速定位，主要考点在同义替换，考生要迅速定位到同义替换的句子或段落。当然，也可以反其道而行之，选择题做排除法也是一项技巧，这在多项选择题中能发挥很大的作用。
雅思阅读提高之：判断题
过去我们的阅读题之分T/F，现在又多了一个NG，所谓NG就是，原文没有给出相关直接证据。注意是直接证据，而不是考生根据推测带出的判断。在英语中，T和F是以事实为依据的，考生们一定能够在原文中找到相对应的线索。雅思阅读考试最大的特点就是，是什么就是什么，没有拐弯抹角的答案。
所以考生们在定位答案范围时，考生们需要区分什么是事实(fact)，什么是(opinion)，当然判断句中也可能出现反义或者转折情况，句子一定要看完整，不要断章取义。
有一个小技巧可以用于考试，如果考生第一时间定位到了答案在文中的范围，如果考生没把握，也就是没有找到直接证明是错的情况下，果断选择NG.
最后强调一下，注意看清题目要求：判断题究竟是Y/N/NG还是T/F/NG.写错不给分的哦，怀抱侥幸心理，以为考官仁慈会睁一只眼闭一只眼的考生，你们想多了，严谨的英国人是不会多送分的。
雅思阅读提高之：段落标记题
雅思阅读中的段落标记题属于较难的题型，好在段落标记题一般是按照顺序原则往下做的，考生们只需要在第一题的时候就准确定位到答题范围，后面基本问题不大。段落标记题需要从整体上把握段落大意，这时候考生们阅读完整篇文章是不可能的，考生首先划出关键词，然后定位到相关的段落，答案一般出现在句首，当然如果你找到了However，but这样的转折，那答案一般就在转折句中。
当然，段落标记题一般是题目多于答案的，这时候就会出现某个段落会有多个关键答案的情况，这时候，考生们优先选出核心的段落进行答题即可，最后做排除法。
雅思阅读提高之：信息匹配题
与段落标记题对应的是信息匹配题，信息匹配题(matching)最大的问题是题目不一定按照文章的顺序排列，会给考生带来一些问题。信息匹配即可能考察段落细节，也可能考察段落大意，因为信息匹配题的答案与原文中部分信息相匹配的，建议考生遇到这类题目可放到最后做，在了解了整篇文章的大意及行文思路之后可迅速定位答题范围。
雅思阅读考试注意事项
拿到题目之后考生们先不要急着做题，先观察阅读有哪些题型，按照先易后难的顺序做题，对于一些比较难的题型可以标记后做。
段落大意题，或能迅速定位到答题范围的题，可以通过略读方法先做。略读要求考生迅速定位关键词。对于细节题一般放在后面做，也就涉及到一些长难句的拆解等，需要考生多花些时间详细阅读段落细节。总之雅思阅读做题要求考生阅读的速度详略得当，要将阅读的时间效率最大化。
雅思阅读练习题及答案
Almost everyone with or without a computer is aware of the latest technological revolution destined to change forever the way in which humans communicate, namely, the Information Superhighway, best exemplified by the ubiquitous Internet. Already, millions of people around the world are linked by computer simply by having a modem and an address on the `Net', in much the same way that owning a telephone links us to almost anyone who pays a phone bill. In fact, since the computer connections are made via the phone line, the Internet can be envisaged as a network of visual telephone links. It remains to seen in which direction the Information Superhighway is headed, but many believeit is the educational hope of the future.
The World Wide Web, an enormous collection of Internet addresses or sites, all of which can be accessed for information, has been mainly responsible for the increase in interest in the Internet in the 1990s. Before the World Wide Web, the `Net' was comparable to an integrated collection of computerized typewriters, but the introduction of the `Web' in 1990 allowed not only text links to be made but also graphs, images and even video.
A Web site consists of a `home page', the first screen of a particular site on the computer to which you are connected, from where access can be had to other subject related `pages'(or screens) at the site and on thousands of other computers all over the world. This is achieved by a process called `hypertext'. By clicking with a mouse device on various parts of the screen, a person connected to the `Net' can go traveling, or surfing' through a of the screen, a person connected to the `Net' can go traveling, or `surfing' through a web of pages to locate whatever information is required.
Anyone can set up a site; promoting your club, your institution, your company's products or simply yourself, is what the Web and the Internet is all about. And what is more, information on the Internet is not owned or controlled by any one organization. It is, perhaps, true to say that no one and therefore everyone owns the `Net'. BECause of the relative freedom of access to information, the Internet has often been criticised by the media as a potentially hazardous tool in the hands of young computer users. This perception has proved to be largely false however, and the vast majority of users both young and old get connected with the Internet for the dual purposes for which it was intended - discovery and delight.

雅思阅读材料：上传容易删除难
More than half of British adults are so concerned about their online reputation they would erase everything they have ever posted on the Internet about themselves, a recent survey revealed。
35 percent believe they could never consider a career in politics due to damaging personal material online. And nearly a quarter of people admit to having posted a photo or personal information that they wouldn't want an employer to see, according to a study by security firm Norton。
Sherly Seitz, an Internet security expert at Norton, said: “We're posting more personal information online than ever before but our attitude to privacy still seems lax. We all want to embrace the latest technology, but consumers should stay mindful of the dangers.”
Researchers questioned 1,004 people aged 18 and over about the amount of their personal information that is publicly available online and how it could affect them personally. The study reveals a sense of unease among Britons about their online reputation, with over 50 percent saying they would gladly delete all information about them online。
Some 40 percent admitted to not actively protecting their reputation and personal information on the Internet. Of these, 59 percent “never thought it was an issue”, while 20 percent wouldn't know where to start。
最新调查表明，超过一半的英国成年人愿意以“好名誉”为名清除自己曾上传至网络的个人信息。
其中35%的人认为自己因为不良的网上资料而永远无法从政。另据网络安全品牌诺顿发起的研究，接近1/4的人群承认曾上传过不能被老板看的照片或者个人资料。
诺顿网络安全专家雪莉称：“我们上传的个人信息越来越多，但对待个人隐私的态度还是马马虎虎。我们都想和先进技术靠拢，但是客户们需有风险防范意识。”
研究人员调查了1004名18岁以上志愿者的网上公开信息数量，并分析他们所受到的影响。研究发现，英国人对于自己的网络名誉普遍感到担忧，超过50%的人称乐意删除自己在网上的所有信息。
而40%的人群承认并没有主动保护自己的网络声誉以及个人信息。这其中，59%的人“从不认为这是个值得考虑的问题”，而20%者则不知从何下手。
详解提高雅思阅读能力的方法
对于学生们在课上和做题中的有些情况，我把影响同学做好阅读题的原因和解决方法归为以下三个：
首先，当然是词汇。任何一篇内容相对复杂的阅读文章，都不可避免地出现大量生僻词语或者是难度相对较大的单词。从文章的选材而言，范围是十分丰富的，主要来自世界各国主要的英文报刊杂志，内容涉及任何一个国家的文化、经济、自然和科技等。而ielts考试所考查的，是实际运用语言的能力，所以在考试中真正需要理解的单词，或是题目中真正考查到的单词，往往是英语阅读中的一些最核心的单词。这些单词虽然数量不多，难度不大，但却是必须掌握的。就考试而言，掌握6000左右的常用词汇，即大学六级大纲中所要求的词汇是必须的。
第二，复杂的句型结构。有些同学的词汇量已经达到了6000左右，但是依然感觉读不懂文章，这就是因为文章中充斥着大量结构复杂难以把握的复杂句。如：The challenge now is to develop policies and practices based on a presumption of shared responsibility between men and women, and a presumption that there are potential benefits for men and women, as well as for families and the community, if there is greater gender equality in the responsibilities and pleasures of family life. 这是一个相对复杂的句子，主干是the challenge now is to develop policies and practices, 从based on到句子的结尾处是由过去分词短语充当的状语。后一个presumption后面有一个由that引导的从句，充当presumption的同位语。在同位语的后面，有一个if 引导的条件状语从句。一般而言，对同学们造成障碍的是并列句或并列复合句，倒装结构，所以在训练时可以精挑一个语段做仔细分析。
第三，题型多样化。这个障碍使原本已经拥有相当英语语言实力的考生，在考试中因为缺乏对题型的理解，或是被众多题型干扰，不能正常发挥。一些必考题型如list of headings, summary, T/F/NG等，可以作为练习重点。如summary题是很多同学感到头痛的题型，普遍感到非常难找。其实不然，只要记住两大原则即可。原则一，顺序原则。summary题的答案排列顺序，必定与文章的行文顺序一致。原则二，完整的summary，不仅应该能够体现文章本身所表达的思想含义，而且必须是符合语法规律的英语文章。所以根据语法也可以进行判断。
在准备考试的过程中，除了要做IELTS考题之外，还要进行泛读和快速阅读。泛读可以选择一些英美主流媒体的文章，在网站上可以找到，目的是熟悉单词和句型。快速阅读就是用扫描文章的方法对其结构有大致的了解，并把握其主旨。同时，在重点句子和词汇上做出标记。这种方法对阅读考试帮助极大，平时可多加练习。另外，为了提高阅读的速度还要养成良好的阅读习惯，不能边看边用嘴跟着读，眼、嘴并用必会降低阅读速度;一旦发现生词(这种情况绝大多数同学都肯定要遇到)，先不要紧张，要通过英语构词法(前缀、词根和后缀)来分析推测词义，或结合上下文、前后词语去猜测，如果根据上下文及前后词语还是无法确切了解其真正含义，可以再看一下这个词对整个句子所构成的影响是肯定的，还是否定的，实际上这对你理解作者的意图已足够了，实在不行就做上记号，将来看一看是否影响答题，如无影响就坚决忽略。
雅思阅读之文章整体深入分析
一，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。
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，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。
如何提高雅思听力能力?
雅思听力提高第一步：词汇量的积累
词汇量是听力的基础，不要相信所谓的没有词汇量也能听力拿7分+的传说，毕竟是少数人士。那么如何积累雅思听力词汇呢?死记硬背当然的效率太低，建议考生按照听力场景来背诵。首先考生预先了解自己的听力词汇量基础，筛选出听力词汇量，一般6分以下的考生需要积累词汇量大约是3000-4500个听力词汇，高频场景词汇左右，才能达到听力6分以上的目标。
听力场景分日常生活、学术科研，具体到各个细节场景又有很多，如果考生不熟悉相关听力场景，建议先从听力真题中总结听力词汇。
对于听力词汇的要求是耳熟及拼写正确。考生们可以根据此要求进行听力词汇背诵记忆。
雅思听力提高需要把握的6个关键点图2
雅思听力提高第二步：语法掌握
对考生来说雅思听力难点除了词汇，还有长难句的语法。考生们的语法掌握对于听力section3和section4部分的发挥有重要影响。考生们在做听力精听过程中，要注意一些复杂长难句的精听及分析，摘取重要信息。
雅思听力提高第三步：读题速度提高
预先读题真的很总要，雅思听力考试开始前，考生无法事先查看听力题目及内容，在有限的时间里，考生们还是有一些间隙时间可以把握。建议考生做好听力题目关键词记录，预测听力答案。
雅思听力提高第四步：注意力训练
注意力绝对是雅思听力提升的一大法宝。听力考试过程中，一旦因为紧张或者其他原因分神，很容易造成听力关键信息漏听。
建议考生在听力模考练习过程一次不要超过30分钟。确保30分钟的听力练习高度集中。听力练习过程中，不要三心二意。不建议考生在听力练习后期进行超过1小时的听力泛听。在听力模考练习过程中，建议听力练习时间安排在上午9点，模拟真实听力考试过程。
雅思听力提高需要把握的6个关键点图3
雅思听力提高第五步：听力跟读练习
很多考生在听力练习过程中，只注重输入，适当进行输出能提高考生的反应能力。建议考生在听力练习过程中，可以尝试跟读练习。如，剑雅真题听力素材的跟读，尤其是长难句的跟读。考生通过长期的听力跟读练习，可以迅速反应听力内容。
雅思听力提高第六步：速记+记忆力
听力光靠技巧还不够，在30分钟内，听力内容转瞬即逝，考生的速记能力和记忆能力显得很关键。记忆力不光靠天分，还要靠训练。建议考生多注意听力听写训练及长难句的记忆训练。

雅思听力能力怎么提高
如何快速提高雅思听力的能力?建议考生做雅思听力练习的时候一定要在自己头脑比较清醒的时候去做，可以专心的训练听力，不要边洗衣服或者边吃东西的时候做听力练习，那样的话效果会非常的不好。选个安静的环境非常关键，在自己的卧室用电脑或者MP3都可以，要边听边记录关键信息，而且记录的时候不要把整个单词都拼写在上面，最好记一些单词的缩写，这样会比较节省时间。而且一定要尽最大努力全神贯注的听。建议练习的时间不要过长，之后一定要去看听力原稿，把不明白的单词抄在本上，日后方便背诵。
平时也可以多听一些英语新闻，像BBC，VOA都是非常好的听力材料。这些英文网上都有，可以在线听也可以下载听。而且还有慢版和快版，如果自己觉得自己跟不上正常语速的话，就先听个慢版的书，但听的时候一定要多记笔记，最好一篇新闻听过5遍之后可以写下来。对于不认识的单词千万别放过，没有时间总结的话，至少看原稿的时候要查一下词典，以后再见到的话，至少会有一个印象的。
建议考生在练习听力的时候，要加强练习速记的能力，比如说，听英语新闻要尽力把听到的关键词写下来，最好平时多背诵一些常用单词的缩写，这个缩写是只针对你的自己而言的，别人认识不认识都没有关系，重要的是你在做完雅思听力能把你记的缩写很快的转化为英语单词。听的过程中要抓重点的名词动词写，不要随便乱写，想全写下来也是不可能的。所以建议考生不要听到一个单词就着急把它写下来，要试着把整句话都听完再写，会有不错的效果。
做听力的过程中一定要细心。很多考生听力都不错，但是一到雅思考试时听力总是拿不了高分。主要的问题是不够细心。有的单词明明会写，可真正写的时候就会出现少个S啊，少个ed啊或者是大小写的错误，前后搭配的错误等等。这些错误是绝对要避免的，尤其是对那些能力还比较不错，雅思分数要求6.5分以上的考生，更要格外小心。听的过程中要多注意那个转折连词，一般but， however这类词后面才是真正的答案呢。遇到数字题目，不要听到数字就赶紧去把第一个听到的数字写上，雅思听力有时常要做一些加减法方能得出答案呢。
万一遇到没听清的题目，一定要先保持冷静，千万别慌张。不要一直在一个题目上徘徊，要马上调整进行下一个题目的解答。等最后抄写答案的时候，再细心去分析哪个答案最有可能，实在没有时间的话就随便蒙一个答案，不要因为一个题目而丢掉更多的题目，那样的话会丢掉正常雅思考试。
雅思听力中的异域风情
雅思考试的四项测试中，听力测试中的文化、生活以及学术气息最为浓重。由于笔者是从英国留学归来后开始从事雅思考试的研究和教学的，对这一点深有感触。雅思听力部分中1、2 section 就内容而言，绝大部分是关于海外生活中的衣食住行玩，可以看作是English for General Purposes(EGP)，而3、4 section无论是内容还是形式都侧重于学术探讨和讲座，可以看作是English for Academic Purposes(EAP)。
所以说，雅思听力部分从某种意义而言就是国外生活的真实写照。因为雅思考试的目的之一就是要考察考生的语言水平能否满足国外实际生活中的语言需要。因此，考生在备考雅思的过程中，一方面固然应该提高自己的听力水平和考试技巧，另一方面也可以利用听力素材了解海外生活的点点滴滴，以便为出国学习和移民作好最充分的准备。由于篇幅有限，本文主要聚焦1、2 section，通过几个雅思题目的例子来做一下说明。
无论出国的目的是什么，到了国外肯定先要解决住宿的问题，因此雅思听力中有关住宿的题目屡见不鲜。比较著名的题目有日本女生Keiko申请home stay，并向housing officer说明自己的特殊要求，如自己是vegetarian，以及有关smoking/no-smoking，是否有pet之类的问题。
此外，曾经考过的题目还有两个女生租房，讨论租家具的问题等等。曾考的一个新题也是关于住宿的，只不过具体场景是一名男子雇佣搬家公司，结果在运输过程中个别家具发生丢失和破损，于是该男子向公司进行投诉。看到这个场景，立刻想起自己在英国搬家的痛苦经历，在雅思试题中发现自己的经历，虽然心有余悸，但还是倍感亲切。
除了住的问题之外，雅思听力的出题人在1、2 section还帮考生设计了注册报到、旅游度假、学生理财、大学介绍、文艺演出等诸多生活场景，考生在备考过程中，可以一举两得，在掌握答题技巧的同时，也可以拓宽自己的文化视野。而对国外生活文化的理解，反过来有可以帮助考生更好的去解题。
雅思听力部分绝不是死板的测试，而是充满着异域情趣的生活小片段，希望大家也能体会到这一点，更有兴趣地去备考雅思。
未卜先知做预测--雅思听力填空技巧
这个雅思听力填空题答题技巧是关于预测的，利用20秒的读题时间预测要填空的词性，现在举例说明。
例1
剑桥4，Test1, question12:The metal industry was established at Riverside Village by 12 who lived in the area。
一看到who，我们就知道空里要填一种人。所以，尽管你听到很多东西，或者听到很多单词你都不懂，不要害怕，你不用懂你听到的那些话在讲什么，你只用竖着耳朵听一种人，写下这种人就可以啦。
例1中，你会听到Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the water wheels were first established in the twelfth century, would you believe? At that time, local craftsmen first built an iron forge just behind the village here, …显然，这一长句话中就出现了local craftmen是一种人，所以这就是答案。同样的方法去做剑桥3，Test2，question29: written by 29 who say candidates tend to be truthful。
例2
剑桥4，Test1 questions32—35(题略)
这4道题，稍微有一点英语基础的人，都知道要填形容词，所以，也许你会觉得这篇听力文章本身很难，但是，我说过，不用你听懂，只要你听出形容词，写上就可以了。顺便提一下，在做填空题时，碰到不会的单词，看看能不能在试卷上看到。比如，在此例中，你也许不会写第33个空humid，但是如果你细心，就会发现在34题周围，出现了humid。这样，直接抄上就可以了。
利用读题的20秒时间预测填空题的答案，考生需要了解填空的词性，比如这个空该题数字、形容词、名词词组还是填一种人，这样可以增加考生得分的机会。
如何提高阅读能力
第一 选择喜欢的内容。
随着信息化时代的发展，人们日常会遇到大量的.文字材料。对于个人来说，我们需要选择一些与自己的日常生活和工作比较贴近的内容，如生活、娱乐、时尚等等。我们还可以在手机上浏览和阅读，也是比较方便的。
第二 了解作者和作品。
我们无论是阅读文章、报纸，还是书籍需要对作者和作品有一定程度的了解，这对提高阅读理解能力有一定的帮助。此外，时代背景、写作风格和手法都也是需要认识和理解的。
第三 思考和理解。
很多时候，我们会遇到一些比较抽象的问题，这在不少考试中会出现的。因此，我们在阅读的时候，可以由浅入深的去理解和思考。一些文章和书籍表面上似乎有些浅显，但是到了后面就会向读者提出一些比较有深度的问题。这些问题的提出是想要我们联系实际来思索和推断。
第四 多阅读。
朗读文章和书籍能够有效的培养出一种语感来，尽管默读被认为是提高阅读能力最好的方式。但是朗读对于训练一个人的表达能力和记忆力方面还是比较显著的。此外，我们可以选择喜欢的文章去朗读，久而久之就会觉得自己的阅读能力有了不少的提升。
第五 写下感悟和理解。
读后感也许是我们对阅读以后体会较深的一种读书笔记的形式。这种读后感可以不受形式的限制，能够自由的发挥你所理解的内容和感想。每个人对书籍和文章的解读和理解是因人而异的，但这不会影响你对作品主旨把握的准确性。
【高分必备】背诵加表演 如此备考雅思口语方能获高分
一般我们对于“雅思口语分数高”的理解，大概有以下几点：
1、用词到位、传神，理论透彻，没有一个多余的词，谈吐精湛。
2、交流没有障碍，可以用英语随心所欲的与外国人交流。
3、可以自如的将自己的意思通过英语表述出来，虽然对有些陌生话题会言谈不流畅，用词不恰当，但可以让外国人基本明白你要表达的意思。
如何短期内提高雅思口语能力
1、大量的背诵原汁原味的短句、固定搭配、生活习语。
2、把每天背诵过的素材反复消化，借助想像力，身临其境把它们表演出来。
3、养成写日记的习惯。这个习惯看上去练习的是写作，其实它更是练习口语的妙法。

雅思考试口语范文之天气
122. What is the weather like in your hometown? ( 5 - 8 )
One of the aspects I could tell you about regarding this topic is that it is very cold in winter, and hot in summer in my hometown Shenyang. What I mean to say is that in winter the temperature often drops to as far as twenty degrees Celsius below zero. During the summer however, it might rise as high as thirty degrees Celsius above zero. In addition, we often get some snow in winter. However, it is not as heavy as in a place like Harbin, which is further north. I am pleased when it snows because the city seems to be clean then. Lastly I would like to mention that we seldom get dust storms here in Shenyang. This is because, unlike a city like Beijing, there are many forests around the city.
123. What is the difference in the weather between Beijing or Hong Kong and your hometown? ( 5 - 8 )
How does the weather in Beijing or Hong Kong compare to that in your hometown? ( 5 - 8 )
The first point I could tell you about concerning this topic is that Beijing is further south than my hometown and therefore not so cold in winter. They also get some snow in winter, but it is not as heavy as in my hometown. Secondly, I would like to mention that we seldom get dust storms here in Shenyang. This is because, unlike a city like Beijing, there are many forests around the city.
124. Describe global warming. ( 5 - 6 )
One of the aspects I could tell you about regarding this topic is that pollution is causing the earth to become warmer. For example, air pollution is causing the atmosphere to become denser and so it cannot cool off at night.
124. Describe global warming. ( 7 - 8 )
Global warming is a popular term used to describe a complicated and subtle change in the weather patterns of the planet. Global warming is caused by the so-called ‘greenhouse effect’. The ‘greenhouse effect’ is caused mainly by air pollution that is preventing some of the sunrays to reflect back into the atmosphere.

131. Could you tell me something about the customs in China?
( 5 - 8 )
That’s an interesting question. Allow me to explain myself by mentioning the following about some customs before a wedding. Firstly, it is considered very bad luck if the bride and the groom see each other directly before the wedding.
132. How do Chinese people usually celebrate birthdays? ( 5 - 8 )
We celebrate it by normally having a dinner party. The child receives gifts from his/her parents, family, and friends. When a child is one hundred days old, it marks a special occasion in his/her life. The mother will place a selection of objects on a table before him/her. S/he will be asked to pick one. The choice that the child makes will be an indication of what the child will become one day.
133. Are there any special customs about weddings in your region? ( 5 - 8 )
133. Describe a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony. ( 5 - 8 )
Before the wedding day, the families would go to the place where the newlyweds will live, and fit curtains, and place a clock in the house. They would put coins and peanuts in the wedding bed. The coins are symbolic of a prosperous life together, and the nuts to ensure a mixture of boys and girls as children. On the day of the wedding, the groom and his best men will go to the house of the bride. They will ask permission from the bridesmaids to enter, who will insist on many answers and money. They will eat eggs and noodles and drink sweet rice water together. The party will then begin, and the presenter will declare them man and wife.
134. How have wedding ceremonies changed in recent years? ( 5 - 8 )
There have been some changes. For example, in the past the bride’s mother-in-law would give the bride a basin and a ring. These days’ flowers replace it, which the bride will wear in her hair on the wedding day. Secondly the gifts have become more expensive. For example, the bride’s family would give appliances like a TV or washing machine to the couple. Another example would be that in the past, peanuts were placed in the wedding bed to ensure a mixture of boys and girls as children. With the one-child policy in force, this tradition will probably disappear. In addition, the ceremonies have become much more informal. For example, the wedding party would be held at a restaurant as opposed to a house.

①②Many years ago i once wrote a love letter to a girl - a Pisces girl. I remember I sent her favorite orchids with my handwritten love letter attached.
③She became my girlfriend not too long after she received my letter. I guess she really liked the way how the letter was written. It was more of poetry than prose. I poured all my love and affection like sweet real orange juice to a shiny glass. She decided to have the love letter read by all her dorm mates it was passed from one hand to another and she was so proud of it and she even framed it like it were the picture of a saint. NOS
④Why I wrote this letter? It's a love letter, surely because I loved her. I can explain a bit why I handwrote it. Sometimes a thoughtful handwritten letter is just what a girl needed, and it is sometimes better then an email. I just think it takes more effort to sit down to write and then send it through regular mail. That makes it more special. For a girl, it's satisfying to hold a letter written by a boy's hand, and it's lovely that the boy took the time and care to do so. WangDong
Nowadays, people tend to write letter by computers, there was a time, not so long ago, when letter writing was a real craft.

雅思口语范文：上学时的朋友，Describe a school friend you remember well，You should say，who this person was，what he/she looked like，Are there any differences between childhood friends and friends in ... Describe a school friend you remember well.
You should say:
who this person was
what he/she looked like
Part 3
Are there any differences between childhood friends and friends in adulthood?
Actually yes. First, a childhood friendship has innocence and there are easier ties to make with someone when you are younger. There are also easier ways to find things in common with another person when you are younger. When you’re older it’s kind of like having the safety net removed. Then, you can do something as a kid in a friendship and it’s either cute or brushed off. As an adult it’s a little harder because if something is misconstrued then even the most rational person can get upset.
Which do you think is better, to have a large group of friends or just a few close friends?
Definitely a few good friends. Less worry and problems to deal with. I believe in quality over quantity when it comes to close friends. I feel more comfortable hanging out with my small band of pals, and I know I can be myself and I trust them all implicitly.
Well, the way people make friends today is not much different from the way people used to. You meet someone and hang out with them and see if your personality clicks.
What do you think is the value of teaching history in school?
History always helps us to understand the present about a person, society or nation. For example, history of the Egyptian, Indian and Chinese civilizations gives us a good idea of how people lived, worked or fought in wars in the past and how the world has progressed over the centuries. Take a passion to study history you will discover that many countries have so many amazing secrets, stories and knowledge to offer. And the past can in some way help us to predict about the future
雅思阅读能力提升
在冲刺阶段，考生们还有大约1-2个月的备考时间，这段时间，考生们要明确有的放矢。首先要明确自己的阅读词汇量有没有储备足够?针对长难句如何用语法知识解决?对于雅思阅读各项题型的做题技巧有没有熟练掌握?有了词汇量和语法的支撑，考生的做题速度会比最初备考阶段快很多，接下来的时间就是技巧层面的掌握情况，决定你是否能继续加速。而到了最后阶段，考生们只需要做一些细节上的修补。
关于雅思词汇量：雅思考试的词汇量约为6000~8000词。这是一道硬线，至于词汇量的选择，如何高效记忆，考生们应该有自己的方法，这里不赘述，小站雅思君觉得考生们最好是选择以剑雅真题阅读文章为词汇源，边做题边记忆。
关于语法知识：主要的长难句都是由简单句构成，长难句最快的方法是拆分句子成分，无非是各类定语从句，状语从句，以并列、伴随、条件、转折等形式组合而成。考生第一步是找到核心句，再通过拆解的结构找到从句即可。
举个例子：(剑雅5 T1的第二篇文章)Thus, in this explanation the subject merges his unique personality and personal and moral code with that of larger institutional structures, surrendering individual properties like loyalty, self-sacrifice and discipline to the service of malevolent systems of authority.
乍一看句子很长，拆分句子结构后发现整段的主句是：the subject merges his unique personality and personal and moral code with that of larger institutional structures”而伴随状语是“surrendering individual properties like loyalty, self-sacrifice and discipline to the service of malevolent systems of authority.”
接下来是重点：关于雅思阅读题型解题技巧
雅思阅读题型很复杂，但拆分合并之后就只有这几种：常规的选择题、填空题，判断题、段落标记题及信息匹配题。以这5大类题型再做各种题型的变换。
雅思阅读提高之：选择题
选择题一般是单选，但也有多项选择。首先审题，选择题一定要迅速定位，主要考点在同义替换，考生要迅速定位到同义替换的句子或段落。当然，也可以反其道而行之，选择题做排除法也是一项技巧，这在多项选择题中能发挥很大的作用。
雅思阅读提高之：判断题
过去我们的阅读题之分T/F，现在又多了一个NG，所谓NG就是，原文没有给出相关直接证据。注意是直接证据，而不是考生根据推测带出的判断。在英语中，T和F是以事实为依据的，考生们一定能够在原文中找到相对应的线索。雅思阅读考试最大的特点就是，是什么就是什么，没有拐弯抹角的答案。
所以考生们在定位答案范围时，考生们需要区分什么是事实(fact)，什么是(opinion)，当然判断句中也可能出现反义或者转折情况，句子一定要看完整，不要断章取义。
有一个小技巧可以用于考试，如果考生第一时间定位到了答案在文中的范围，如果考生没把握，也就是没有找到直接证明是错的情况下，果断选择NG.
最后强调一下，注意看清题目要求：判断题究竟是Y/N/NG还是T/F/NG.写错不给分的哦，怀抱侥幸心理，以为考官仁慈会睁一只眼闭一只眼的考生，你们想多了，严谨的英国人是不会多送分的。
雅思阅读提高之：段落标记题
雅思阅读中的段落标记题属于较难的题型，好在段落标记题一般是按照顺序原则往下做的，考生们只需要在第一题的时候就准确定位到答题范围，后面基本问题不大。段落标记题需要从整体上把握段落大意，这时候考生们阅读完整篇文章是不可能的，考生首先划出关键词，然后定位到相关的段落，答案一般出现在句首，当然如果你找到了However，but这样的转折，那答案一般就在转折句中。
当然，段落标记题一般是题目多于答案的，这时候就会出现某个段落会有多个关键答案的情况，这时候，考生们优先选出核心的段落进行答题即可，最后做排除法。
雅思阅读提高之：信息匹配题
与段落标记题对应的是信息匹配题，信息匹配题(matching)最大的问题是题目不一定按照文章的顺序排列，会给考生带来一些问题。信息匹配即可能考察段落细节，也可能考察段落大意，因为信息匹配题的答案与原文中部分信息相匹配的，建议考生遇到这类题目可放到最后做，在了解了整篇文章的大意及行文思路之后可迅速定位答题范围。
雅思阅读考试注意事项
拿到题目之后考生们先不要急着做题，先观察阅读有哪些题型，按照先易后难的顺序做题，对于一些比较难的题型可以标记后做。
段落大意题，或能迅速定位到答题范围的题，可以通过略读方法先做。略读要求考生迅速定位关键词。对于细节题一般放在后面做，也就涉及到一些长难句的拆解等，需要考生多花些时间详细阅读段落细节。总之雅思阅读做题要求考生阅读的速度详略得当，要将阅读的时间效率最大化。
雅思阅读材料：日本提供租赁演员参加婚礼服务
Japanese couples, too busy for a normal social life, are increasingly turning to actors to play their friends on the most important days of their lives.
如今，越来越多忙于工作而没时间进行正常社交的日本夫妇们常常在重要的日子租赁演员来假扮自己的朋友。
Several agencies have sprung up offering actors to attend weddings or even funerals. The first guest-for-hire company was established about nine years ago and around 10 now send out dozens of pretend friends to family events.
日本国内涌现出几家提供参加婚礼甚至葬礼的演员的公司。日本首家“租友”公司创办于约九年前，目前约有10家机构为家庭活动提供假朋友服务。
Agencies such as Hagemashi Tai - which means “I want to cheer you up” - charge around ?100 for each “guest”. Other services such as giving a speech in praise of a bride or the groom cost extra.
像Hagemashi Tai(意为“我想让你开心“)这样的公司每提供一位朋友收费100英镑。若要提供其它服务如致辞赞美新郎或新娘需额外收费。
The emergence of the small fake friends industry has been linked to social and economic changes in Japan. With lifetime employment a thing of the past, couples feel uncomfortable about inviting work colleagues to their wedding. Increasingly busy and put upon, many Japanese surround themselves with only a very small circle of friends.
小型“租友”行业的兴起与日本的社会经济变化密不可分。随着终身雇佣成为历史，人们越来越不情愿邀请同事来参加自己的婚礼。由于工作越来越忙，压力越来越大，很多日本人的朋友圈都很小。
When they marry, however, they are under pressure to match the number of their new partner's wedding guests.
但在结婚的时候，又不能让自己这边的宾客比对方少。
Office Agents, the largest provider of pretend friends, makes sure that its employees have done their homework and know all about the bride or groom before the wedding.
规模的租友公司“办公代理公司“要求其雇员在参加婚礼前做足功课，做到对新娘或新郎的情况了如指掌。
Hiroshi Mizutani, the company's founder, said the fake friends he provides must look happy, be well dressed and look like people with good jobs.
该公司的创建者弘水谷称，他的公司提供的假扮朋友看上去一定要开心，穿着得体，让人一看就是个工作体面的人。
雅思阅读材料：日本推出地震手机预警服务
In what has become a too-familiar experience in Tokyo, a crowded subway train screeches to a sudden halt. From around the car, mobile phones start to ring。
The sound is an emergency earthquake warning from an iPhone app that lets subscribers know when the quake will come, where the epicenter will be located and how strong the shaking will be. Often, seconds after the phone rings, the shaking starts。
Following the devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami, which have left nearly 28,000 dead and missing, Japan has been hit by hundreds of aftershocks of varying strengths。
The app called Yure Kuru, or shaking coming, was developed by RC Solution Co, a Tokyo-based firm that specializes in providing disaster-related information services, such as relaying warnings or letting people confirm the safety of friends and family。
“Emergency quake warnings began several years ago, but the equipment to receive them was quite expensive,” said Akira Kuriyama, president of RC Solution。
“We wondered if there wasn't a cheaper and easier way to provide this service, and we thought of smartphones.”
The app, based on technology originally developed by Japan's Meteorological Agency and railway firms, was released in November .
When the alarm is triggered, a window comes up on the phone screen saying that in approximately 10 seconds, there will be a quake of a certain strength. Users can decide for themselves at what strength of quake the phone will ring。
Prior to March 11, there were 100,000 subscribers, Kuriyama said. But now there are at least 1.5 million, and the company has stopped counting。
The app is symbolized by a cartoon catfish, which, according to Japanese folk belief, are said to warn of quakes。
“We're very happy to be of service,” Kuriyama said. “Among other things, there still isn't a lot of understanding about the quake warning. If our app helps more people learn about this, and increases their safety, we'll be pleased.”
乘坐拥挤的地铁时发生地震在东京是再寻常不过的事情了。在地铁急刹车时，车厢内各个角落的手机开始响起来。
这一响声是iPhone的一款应用程序发出的紧急地震警报，让用户知道地震何时会来临，震中在哪个位置，以及地震强度有多大。通常，手机响后几秒钟，地震就会开始。
在3月11日发生强震和海啸之后，日本已发生数百次强度各异的余震。这次强震和海啸已导致近2.8万人死亡或失踪。
这款应用程序名为Yure Kuru(地震来了)，是由一家专门提供灾害信息服务的日本公司RC Solution研发的。该公司提供转发警报或帮助确认亲友的安全等服务。
RC Solution的总裁栗山明说：“紧急地震警报在几年前就有了，但是接收警报的设备相当昂贵。”
“我们想知道是否有更廉价、更容易的方式来提供这一服务，于是我们想到了智能手机。”
这一应用程序基于日本气象厅和铁路公司研发的技术，于11月发布。
在警报响起时，手机屏幕上会弹出一个窗口，上面的文字显示说，大约在10秒后，会发生一定级别强度的地震。用户可以自行设定在发生何种强度的地震时手机会响起。
栗山说，在3月11日前，用户数为10万，而现在至少有150万用户。由于用户太多，公司已经停止计算用户数。
这一应用程序的标志是一条卡通鲶鱼。据日本民间的说法，鲶鱼可以预报地震。
栗山说：“我们很高兴能对大家有所帮助。另外，人们在地震预警方面了解得并不多。如果我们的应用程序能够让更多的人对此有所了解，并让人们更安全，我们会很高兴。”
如何提高雅思阅读效率?
提高词汇量
雅思阅读效率的提高不是光掌握一些阅读方法就可以了，还要有扎实的基础。如果没有大量的词汇，看一篇文章，满眼都是#￥%&…这还怎么做题?所以同学们要提高雅思阅读词汇量。提高词汇量的办法很简单，就是需要大家踏踏实实坚持不断的反复背诵反复记忆。具体的背诵方法大家可以参考前面分享的如何高效备考雅思词汇。
语法知识熟练
雅思阅读的语法考察虽然不像托福考试，专门出了一些试题。但是却渗透在字里行间，对语法的要求更为高级。常考的语法知识点就是各种长难句的结构分析。雅思阅读文章中常见的从句有：名词性从句(宾语从句、主语从句、表语从句、同位语从句)、形容词性从句(定语从句)、非谓语结构(动词不定式、现在分词、过去分词)，同学们只要掌握了以上几大知识点，语法应该不是大问题。
学会快速阅读
快速阅读是雅思阅读备考必须掌握的一项基本能力。快速阅读又包括两种技能：泛读和略读。泛读是指广泛阅读大量涉及不同领域的书籍，不需要掌握细节，只要了解书中主要内容即可。略读又称跳读(reading and skipping)或浏览(glancing)，要求读者有选择地进行阅读，不重要的细节都可以跳过，需要抓住文章的重点内容。
学会定位
上面讲了快速阅读的方法，接下来我们具体分享快速定位做题的方法。雅思阅读做题最主要的技能就是快速定位。定位词一般是题目中变化性最小的词性才能充当定位词，一般情况下以具象名词为主，主要包括：首字母大写的信息，数字，时间，与人相关的信息(身份、职业)，学科等、新鲜词汇和绝对生词。我们根据题干中的这些定位词到原文中找对应的信息，然后将原文与题干就行比较，最后得出答案。
雅思阅读材料：时间与幸福指数的关系
While on vacation in distant locales, people often find that time moves quite differently than in the places they’re used to. In the tropics, we settle into the grooves of “island time” and relax thanks to a more leisurely rhythm. A trip to a big city can leave us exhilarated but also drained by the energetic whir of life there.
据科技杂志Nautilus报道，当人们去远方度假时，往往会发现时间过得与平时很不一样。热带地区悠闲的节奏让我们习惯于“岛上的时间”，过得更加放松。去大城市令人兴奋，却也被充满活力的快节奏生活弄得筋疲力尽。
The different paces of different communities also seem to be connected to other cultural characteristics. Robert Levine and his colleagues have studied the speed of life in cities around the world and across the U.S. In a series of experiments they measured how fast solitary pedestrians in a downtown core covered a distance of 60 feet (being careful to exclude those who are obviously window shopping), timed how long it took to complete a simple commercial transaction, and recorded the accuracy of randomly selected clocks in the downtown business area. They found that places with a faster pace of life also had more robust economies (as measured by GDP per capita, average purchasing power, and average caloric intake), and that people in larger cities tended to move faster than those in less populated areas. They also found truth to the stereotype that people move slower in hotter places.
群体间不同的生活节奏是与他们的文化有关的。罗伯特?莱文和他的同事们对全球各个城市和美国各地的生活节奏做了一个调查。通过一系列的实验，他们计算出了每个城市里的人走过60英尺需要的时间(他们仔细地将其中明显是在逛街的人排除在外)，计算了一桩买卖成交需要的时间，并且记录了在中心商业区随机挑选的时钟的准确性。他们发现节奏快的地方往往是那些经济更加发达的地方(通过对比人均GDP、平均购买力还有平均热量摄入)，并且人们在大城市里比在人口少的地方走得更快。他们也发现了人们在热的地方走得更慢这一惯例。
So as you might expect, fast-moving people are associated with fast-moving economies. But does that faster life translate into greater happiness? In faster places (specifically, economically developed areas of North America, Western Europe, and Asia), people were more likely to smoke, less likely to take the time to help strangers in need, and more likely to die from coronary heart disease. Yet Levine and his colleagues found that residents in faster places tended to report feeling somewhat happier with their lives than those who lived in slower places. A city’s pace of life was indeed “significantly related” to the physical, social, and psychological well-being of its inhabitants.
正如你所想象的那样，快节奏的人们和高速增长的经济相关。但是快节奏的生活就意味着幸福么?在快节奏的地方(尤其是经济发达地区，如北美、西欧和亚洲)，更多的人抽烟，更少的人会去帮助那些需要帮助的人，并且更容易死于冠心病。但是莱文和他的同事们发现，在快节奏城市生活的人觉得自己比那些生活在慢节奏城市的人更加幸福。一个城市的生活节奏明显与居民的身体健康、社会意识和心理状态息息相关。
Perhaps the higher reported rates of happiness simply reflect the fact that faster places have more robust economies. But the relationship between income and reported happiness is far from obvious. According to the “Easterlin paradox” (named after economist Richard Easterlin), once people have enough money to meet their basic needs, having more money is not necessarily correlated with higher self-reported happiness. Easterlin’s claims are controversial and not universally accepted; even if his theory is correct, wealthier nations might be happier overall if they address the basic needs to more of their people. In any case, the ongoing debate indicates that we need to tread carefully when making connections between happiness and overall economic factors.
也许更高的幸福指数反应出了这样一个事实：快节奏的城市拥有更好的经济发展。但是收入与幸福指数间的关系并不明显。根据伊斯特林悖论(以经济学家理查德?伊斯特林的名字命名)，一旦人们拥有足够的钱满足基本的生活需求，收入与幸福指数关联得并不紧密。伊斯特林悖论存在着争议也没有被普遍接受，尽管他的理论是对的，在满足了更多人们的基本生活需求时，总的来说更富有的国家幸福指数会高些。无论如何，依旧持续着的争议告诉我们将幸福指数和整体经济因素进行关联时需要多加小心。
Among individuals in a society, busyness—or the feeling of busyness—seems to be an important factor in well-being. That feeling of busyness—of having a lot to do and too little time in which to do itis often associated with stress and anxiety. However in many contexts being “busy” is badge of honor: Busy parents are seen as devoted to their children’s well-being, the busy real estate agent must be closing lots of sales, and the busy lawyer can charge a premium hourly rate. In US studies, the happiest people reported that they were busy, in the sense that they had little excess time, yet did not feel rushed. Like big-city dwellers, they seemed to thrive at a faster pace.
对社会中的个体来说，忙碌——或者感觉忙碌——似乎是影响状态的重要因素。忙碌的感觉——有很多的事情要做，却没有多少时间的感觉经常带来压力与焦虑。但在很多的情况下，忙碌是一个光荣的标志：忙碌的父母被认为是为了让孩子过得好;忙碌的房地产经纪人则与客户更加亲密;忙碌的律师的时薪也更高。在美国的调查发现，幸福指数的人都很忙，也就意味着他们没有多余的时间，也不觉得匆忙。就好像大城市的居民们，他们似乎喜欢更快的生活节奏。
Levine’s work raises the intriguing possibility that an individual’s feelings about their use of time contribute as much or more to their happiness as does economics. Now the big challenge is to find out which way the causal chain works: Does the feeling of being active, yet not rushed, contribute to happiness? Or does happiness allow people to perceive their use of time in positive ways?
莱文的研究显示了对时间利用的个人感觉可能比经济更加影响幸福指数。现在的问题时需要找出这样的影响是怎样发生的：是因为充实并不匆忙的感觉令人幸福?还是幸福让人们更加积极地利用他们的时间?
雅思阅读材料：人变胖是什么原理
The discovery of the obesity gene in humans half a decade ago offered evidence that chronic weight gain is the consequence of a mismatch between nature and nurture. Simplistic explanations, such as blaming obesity on a drop in fat consumption, ignore scientific reality. In countries like India and China, obesity was virtually unknown until the introduction of a high-fat, western-style diet.
One well-known reason for this is that dietary fat converts to (转换为 )body fat more efficiently than does protein or carbohydrate, but recently scientists have uncovered what appears to be an equally important factor. Some researchers in universities are investigating the possibility that high levels of fat and fructose are mucking up(扰乱 ) our brain chemistry, and thereby muting the signals that would normally tell us to put down the fork. These signals are produced by peptides, which are regulated by a number of hormones. Under normal conditions these hormones help maintain a stable body weight by adjusting levels of the peptides that control eating. But a diet loaded with fat and fructose hampers the regulation of these hormones. Complicating matters still further is that the brain loses its ability to respond to these hormones as body fat increases -- so the obese are doubly penalized.
Other researchers are finding evidence that constant exposure to fat and sugar can cause some humans to crave (渴望)them as they do an addictive drug. A Princeton University psychologist recently showed that rats fed a high sugar diet were, when the sugar was removed, thrown into a state of anxiety similar to that seen in withdrawal from morphine or nicotine. Sarah Leibowitz, a neurobiologist, believes that frequent exposure to fatty foods may configure the brain to crave still more fat. She has shown in animal studies that galanin, a brain peptide that simulates eating behavior and decreases energy expenditure, increases when the animal eats a high-fat diet.
There are many factors contributing to the explosion of obesity in the United States, and the world, but the radical changes in the composition of our diet are first among them. While scientific work in this area is in its infancy, it's already clear that varying the amount of fat and other nutrients in the diet affects brain chemistry by activating certain genes, and this in turn directs our dietary preferences. By submitting ourselves to a steady dose of highly processed, sweet, high-fat foods, we have unwittingly entered into a dangerous experiment, the long term consequences of which are only now beginning to surface.
如何提高雅思阅读水平
首先要扩大阅读的范围
ielts考试g类的阅读中前两部分通常是实用性强的功能性短文，如菜单、产品说明、通知、住宿安排和广告等，非常贴近西方的实际生活，但对我们国内绝大多数考生而言会很陌生。这就要求考生们争取每天阅读一定量的原版英文报刊、书籍，如time、reader’s digest等,尤其注意其中的各种各样的广告。并非要读懂每一个字，或完全理解，只要能理解其中大至含义既可。
a类阅读主要是关于历史中的重要人物、事件和发明和科学现象、学科最新动向、地理现象以及社会发展、经济状况等。其中大部分文章选自国外人文类、经济类和科学类的知名报纸、杂志或各政府、组织的研究报告。如：new scientist、financial times、the economist、popular science、national geographic、scientific american 等。这些刊物在国内虽然不易看到，但考生们可以通过internet在网上进行阅读，以熟悉它们的文风、常用的词汇和句子结构。
其次要提高阅读的速度
提高英语阅读的速度，靠的不是一日之功，通常需要相当长一段时间的学习及训练。但过，加强英文基础训练、掌握必要的测试技巧和鄙弃一些坏习惯，都会有助于考生们阅读文章是加快速度。
ielts考试的阅读部分，无论是a类还是g类都是同时测试考生的阅读速度和理解的精确度，考生们既不能为了在1小时的时间内答完考题而单一求快，也不能为了答题的准确性高而不得不放弃回答一些问题。
英语阅读的速度可以通过加强自己快速阅读的'能力来提高。快速阅读就是用扫描文章的方法对其结构有大致的了解，并把握其主旨。同时，在重点句子和词汇上做出标记。这种方法对阅读考试帮助极大，平时可多加练习。考生们应鄙弃逐词阅读的陋习，逐词阅读不但速度太慢，而且容易引起误解。而学会词汇组合阅读。另外，为了提高阅读的速度还要养成良好的阅读习惯，不能边看边用嘴跟着读，眼、嘴并用必会降低读速；一旦发现生词（这种情况绝大多数考生都肯定要遇到），先不要紧张，要通过英语构词法（前缀、词根和后缀）来分析推测词义，或结合上下文、前后词语去猜测，如果根据上下文及前后词语还是无法确切了解其真正含义，你可以再看一下这个词对整个句子所构成的影响是肯定的，还是否定的，实际上这对你理解作者的意图已足够了，实在不行就做上记号，将来看一看是否影响答题，如无影响就坚决忽略，切记不要恋战。
