下面小编给大家整理雅思阅读定位的重要性(共含8篇），希望大家喜欢！同时，但愿您也能像本文投稿人“炸了啊喵喵喵”一样，积极向本站投稿分享好文章。
雅思阅读：也谈定位
一、从原文中找“特殊词”
什么样的词是“特殊词”呢?特殊词，顾名思义就是样子特殊、很容易在原文中找到的词。比如：时间，地点，人名，书名，杂志名，专有名词，斜体字，引号引出的词，A-B类型的词。这些词要么是数字(阿拉伯数字或是用英语单词表述的数字，需要注意形式)，要么是首字母大写的词，在原文中很容易被快速找到。
二、从题干中找“定位词”
然而，不是所有的题目中都包含这样的“特殊词”的，在雅思阅读中更多的题目是不包含“特殊词”的题目，这无疑增加了定位的难度。但是如果我们能通过读题迅速判断出决定题目所在的这句话不同于文中其他句子的相对独特的词，再在原文中找到这些相对独特的词我们就可以准确的找到原文的位置了。我们来看几个例子，横线划出的是定位词：
Endangered languages cannot be saved unless people learn to speak more than one language.
Saving languages from extinction is not in itself a satisfactory goal.
The way we think may be determined by our language.
Young people often reject the established way of life in their community.
A change of language may mean a loss of traditional culture.
三、通过题目的前后顺序帮助定位
我们都知道五种小题型、判断题、选择题、总结题的顺序性都是极强的，那么在定位的时候我们可以通过前后的题目来帮助定位，就进一步加快了我们定位的速度。
同学们在吸取了以上的定位方法之后，应该要抛开以前的英文想法，一切按照雅思的规律来，回归到语言的本身。这样，不管在考试中我们面对的是什么领域的文章，题目的答案直接从文章的表象中找就可以，不用特意深入地思考文章的内容。当同学们习惯了用正确的方法做题之后，雅思阅读题目在大家的感官里一定会越来越容易!
雅思阅读，找准定位，一招致胜。
你不知道的雅思阅读出题规律
下面为大家整理了你不知道的雅思阅读出题规律,供考生们参考,以下是详细内容.
1、首尾原则：大约50%的题目分布在文章首尾句以及首尾段;
2、顺序原则：美中题目基本上按照文章顺序排列;
3、改写原则：出题关键字基本都是对文章内容的改写;
4、名词原则：出题关键字基本都以名词作为考点;
5、数字原则：会出现一些带有简单运算最难不超过四则运算的简答题;
6、下定义原则：破折号,同位语从句,定语从句有可能处提;
7、举例原则：Forexample/Forinstance/Suchas等短语前面是考点;
8、连词原则：表因果、转折、相似、递进以及比较的连词会有题目出现;
9、特殊符号,特殊字体原则：括号,引号“”,黑体,斜体,下划线,以及比较罕见的词汇有可能出题;
10、图表原则：如果文章中有图表则要留心图表部分会出题.
雅思阅读关键词定位
雅思阅读关键词定位真相1：心态紧张，视线模糊
烤鸭心理太紧张了，一味的追求速度，心理想着：快快快!我要比火箭快!于是，紧张的心理，模糊了视线，于是在考场上，阅读的文章，变成了介样：
烤鸭萌，你一紧张，阅读文章变成了介样，请问你怎么可能定位得粗来呢?所以，做阅读第一步，心态调整好，别那么紧张，阅读的速度其实，不用那么快的!刚开始定位第一题时可以稍稍慢点，没关系，或者看第一组题目，如果有好定位的题(出现特殊关键词)，可以优先定位好定位的题，然后再结合题文同序的原则定位。
在原词出现的情况下，特殊词定位，这一步一定要快且准确，快速锁定出题点，特殊词定位必须全拿下;
2)没有特殊词，名词定位，用有‘新意’的名词定位(具体课上会解释)。名词定位，如果长难句处理能力强的同学，去定位时：首先结合题文同序的原则，大致圈定出题点后，每个句子快速扫主语和宾语，因为主语和宾语基本都是名词，可以快速找到;如果烤鸭本身句子结构和成分掌握得不好的，那就‘硬扫’，把眼睛当成扫描仪，确保每个单词都看到，但是不用用脑去想每个单词的意思，直到快速扫到这个词为止。
雅思阅读关键词定位真相2：定位信息不要只停留在题目上，预测原文也可以定位
考试中一定有些题目，是烤鸭看到之后不知道怎么定位的，因为这样的题目，关键词太难画了。如下例：
例：What is the smallest species of Bovid called?
学生看到介个题目，内心是奔溃的。怎么定位呢?Bovid是文章主题词，文章多次重复出现，不具备定位的价值。找smallest species,文中压根木有出现啊。怎么定位呢?这个时候，其实可以预测答案和原文的形式，来定位。谈到一个物种的大小，要么就是说高度，要么就是说重量，是不是?所以，结合题文同序的原则，去文中快速锁定出现讲身高或是体重的地方，快速定位，预测一下看是不是出题点。文中符合这个特点的原文是：
This diversity of habitat is also matched by great diversity in size and form: at one extreme is the royal antelope of west Africa, which stands a mere 25 cm at the shoulder; at the other, the massively built bisons of North America and Europe, growing to a shoulder height of 2.2m.(答案：royal antelope)
所以，烤鸭们，请记住通过预测答案在文中的信息和表现方式，也是可以定位的哦。
雅思阅读关键词定位真相3：定位不光是找某个词，学霸们的定位其实是在快速扫读原文
为什么要扫读原文?我刚刚讲过，考试时，关键词原词出现的题数大约是25-30题，看人品决定。原词出现的，你硬扫也要扫到关键词哦。但是，文中可能不只一个地方出现了关键词，所以要快速扫读出现了关键词的地方，快速提主干，理解大意，通过意思来确定是否是出题点。这就是我强调的，为什么题目要先读懂，再画关键词去定位，因为要通过意思才能确定是否是出题点，这是扫读的原因之一。
原因之二，考官在设置题目的时候，会划分难度，以来选拔不同程度的学生。所以，大约有10道题左右的题目，很难找到一样的关键词，只能通过意思，识别同义替换来定位。当然，这样的题目在定位时还是要结合题文同序的原则，先大概锁定出题点的大概段落，再去快速扫读句子，弄清大意，通过意思，通过识别同义替换来定位。雅思阅读中的同义替换也有几种情况，烤鸭们心里也需要门清的，阅读考试中，同义替换的有以下几种形式：
同义词组/近义词组互换
词性互转(如loss-lost, confidence-confident)
抽象具体/上下义词的同义替换(如fire fighting tools-- fire engine, helicopter等)
类似summary的高度总结和概括
(以上内容，请具体参阅‘雅思语言’那篇文章)
雅思阅读关键词定位最大真相：定位不到，其实就是实力有待提高，踏踏实实，提升实力
实力提升，需要词汇+长难句，有一定的词汇基础之后，更重要的是提升句子结构处理的能力，快速处理长难句的能力，并且看句子时，不要只是停留在英文的表面，要理解!理解!理解!理解就是反应出中文意思来。
烤鸭们，“路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索”。目光和志向定得长远些，不要想着，我今天学习，明天就要出成绩出结果。要想想，如果坚持学习，1个月后，3个月后，1年后的你会是什么样!加油!
雅思阅读模拟试题
This reading test contains 14 questions. You should spend about 20 minutes
on this task.
To make it more authentic, download the test and do it with pen and
paper.
Read the passage below and answer 14 questions.
Bird Body Language
A
Birds are becoming popular as pets, but unlike with more common pets,
owners of birds are often not familiar with the behavioural patterns of the
animal which allow them to recognise what the pet needs and wants. For example,
most of us can recognise the behaviour a dog exhibits when he is hungry or wants
attention, but how many of us know how birds go about showing the same feelings?
By learning about the behavioural patterns of birds, its owner can forge a
stronger relationship with his pet. Owners can learn how to read bird body
language, including movements of the eyes, wings, tail and beak. In addition,
the sounds the bird makes can also indicate the mood, desires, and requirements
of the pet.
B
A bird’s eyes are different from a human’s. While both birds and humans
have pupils and irises (the black and coloured parts respectively), birds have
the ability to control the size of their pupils by enlarging and reducing their
irises quickly. This behaviour, flashing, is something birds may do when they
are angry, interested, or frightened.
C
A bird also communicates through the use of their wings. A bird may lift or
open his wings as a sign of happiness. But if the bird starts opening and
closing their wings, it may signal anger or pain. If a bird fails to fold its
wings against its body, and instead lets them hang by their side, the bird may
be ill. Healthy adult birds will typically tuck their wings against their bodies
when they are at rest.
D Birds often use their tail feathers to communicate, so an understanding
of this behaviour will help the pet’s owner. A bird may move his tail from side
to side, called wagging, to express happiness (similar to dogs in behaviour and
meaning). Happiness is also the emotion expressed by other kinds of tail
movement, such as up and down. However, if a bird fans his tail feathers out, it
is usually a way to show anger or aggression.
E
While the bird’s beak is used mainly for eating and grooming, a bird may
also communicate by using beak movements. For example, a bird may click his beak
once as a greeting, and several clicks can be taken as a warning. Birds may
sometimes bite, but it is often difficult to determine the reason behind it –
birds bite as a way to defend territory, show anger or express fear.
F
Finally, the sounds a bird makes are very important in communication. Birds
use vocalisations to communicate with each other (and with their owners).
Singing is the sign of a happy bird, and many birds love to sing when others are
around. Birds may also purr, though this is not the same as a cat's purr. A
bird's purr sounds more like a low growl, and may indicate annoyance. Finally, a
bird may click his tongue against his beak, and this often indicates a desire to
be picked up and petted.

雅思阅读定位方法谈：请给我一双慧眼or写轮眼
那么如果同学们定位定不到，到底是为什么呢?我认为有以下三个原因：
雅思阅读定位之真的缺乏一双发现的眼睛
这个应该是很多同学会比较头痛的问题，那是真的没有善于发现爱的眼睛啊。人家出题句就在那个地方，死都看不到，这也真的是醉醉了。其实，这就是在考察各位scanning的能力，我们所谓的scan是带着一个特殊的词或信息，在文中寻找，找到了停住即可，其他那些在寻找中所遇见的词或句子都是浮云，千万不要较真的一一读懂，浪费表情～
雅思阅读定位方法：scanning在生活中无处不在，你看航班，火车信息，其实都是在用scanning只是自己不知道而已，所以大家要好好的训练一下，定位词的选择不要出错(否则你看破大天也定不出来)。这里，刚刚提醒各位，我们雅思阅读中很多题目都是有顺序的，请千万不要犯倔，一定要从第一题定到最后一题，先定最好定位的，然后再根据顺序原则去推(把全文定位变为局部定位)
雅思阅读定位之碰到难题，定位词同义替换了
如果各位烤鸭对于雅思阅读的分数停留在7分以下，那么碰到这种定位词同义替换的题目，我只能说大家运气不好，一般这种情况都会发生在第三篇。那这种情况，其实不怪各位，你们的题干定位词都找对了，但就是在文中找不到，这个时候一定要有一个意识，也许定位词被同义替换了，
如：C10T1P3的第34题：Peopleworking under a dominant boss are liable to
这道题目我们的定位词用dominant boss 是没有问题的，可是你通篇去找你会发现根本找不到类似的词，这个时候我们发现，他就是定位词被同义替换了，大家看下下面这个出题段，看看同义替换成了什么?
没错，就是Authority，dominant boss就是支配型的老板，那么衍升一点就是有权利的老板，对应我们的Authority，所以这道题目的对应出题段就是文中的倒数第三段。碰到这种题目怎么办呢?
雅思阅读定位方法：同义替换的总结，这一定是不能偷懒的
另外，还是想说，把全文定位变为局部定位，各位如果从全文去找dominant boss这无疑是大海捞针，所以为什么不先做33题，然后做35题，然后根据顺序原则在35和33的中间去卡34的位置呢。这样加上前面对同义替换的准备，我们找起来，也会方便很多。
雅思阅读定位之不相信自己，总觉得自己是错的
这个问题，主要出现在判断题上。我们都知道判断题是有一个选项NG的，而NG的一种情况就是原文未提及。很多同学在做此类题目的时候，定位定不到就往死里定(有的时候我真的不怕你们定不到，而是怕你们凭想象力去定，天啊噜)。总觉得，自己定不到肯定是自己的问题。同学你这样真的好嘛?
雅思阅读定位方法：任何一种题型，一定有定位的突破口，找到它(也就是最好定位的题目)，先去定位，然后根据判断题的顺序原则去上下推测附近题目的出题范围(局部定位)，相信自己，如果没有找到，就大胆的选择NG(但千万不要选太多NG啊，一般6-7个判断题出2-3个NG)
最后刚刚想说的，定位是雅思考察的最基本的语言能力之一，这将在各位出国留学的时候起到非常大的作用，所以各位同学一定要注意这个问题。当然，大家也不要被刚刚上面说的给吓到了，雅思作为一门语言评测类考试，只要各位下功夫，多练习，多总结(当然要每天关注刚刚的推送啦)，是一定会有提高的。
雅思阅读素材积累：A Drier and Hotter Future
While I was reading William deBuys's new book, A Great Aridness, two massive dust storms reminiscent of the 1930s raged across the skies of Phoenix and of Lubbock, Texas. Newspapers blamed them on the current drought in the West, which is proximately true. But what ultimately is causing this drought, and why would any drought produce such terrifying clouds of dust? The answer is that they may be portents of a more threatening world that we humans are unwittingly creating. As deBuys explains, “Because arid lands tend to be underdressed in terms of vegetation, they are naturally dusty. Humans make them dustier.”
Agriculture is the main reason for those dust storms—the clearing of native grasslands or sagebrush to grow cotton or wheat, which die quickly when drought occurs and leave the soil unprotected. Phoenix and Lubbock are both caught in severe drought, and it is going to get much worse. We may see many such storms in the decades ahead, along with species extinctions, radical disturbance of ecosystems, and intensified social conflict over land and water. Welcome to the Anthropocene, the epoch when humans have become a major geological and climatic force.
DeBuys is an acclaimed historian turned conservationist in his adopted home of the Southwest. A Great Aridness is his most disturbing book, a jeremiad that ought to be required reading for politicians, economists, real-estate developers and anyone thinking about migrating to the Sunbelt. In the early chapters he reports on the science of how and why precipitation and ecology are changing, not predictably but in nonlinear ways that make the future very uncertain and dark. In later chapters he visits ancient pueblo ruins left behind by earlier civilizations that were destroyed by drought, and he follows the grim trail of migrants crossing the border from Mexico, stirring up a controversy that climate change can only exacerbate. The book is an eclectic mix of personal experience, scientific analysis and environmental history.
Smoke as well as dust is spoiling the southwestern skies. As deBuys points out, forest fires are getting much bigger. In June the Rodeo and Chediski fires erupted on Arizona's Mogollon Plateau, soon merging into a single conflagration that consumed nearly 500,000 acres. It was Arizona's largest fire—until the Wallow Fire eclipsed it in June . Another devastating effect of climate change has been the explosion of bark beetles among western pines, which in turn contributes to the new fire regime; in , dead trees covered 2.6 million acres in Arizona and New Mexico. Could anything be more demoralizing than the sight of green forests turned a grisly brown, then bursting into flame and left charred and black?
Even more depressing than declining forests are mountains bare of snow. When future springs arrive, the sound of running water will be much diminished. The biggest environmental catastrophe for the Southwest, already our most arid region, is losing the melting runoff from snowpacks into rivers, canals and irrigation ditches. An ominous chapter in the book examines the future of the Colorado River, which for decades has been the “blood” of the Southwest's oasis civilization. In the 1920s Americans divided the river between upper and lower basins, allocating to each a share of the annual flow. California, which contributes almost nothing to the river, sucks up the largest share of any state, spreading it across the Imperial Valley's agricultural fields and diverting the rest to Los Angeles. Years ago policy makers assumed that the river carried about 17 million acre-feet of water per year—that is, enough water to cover 17 million acres to a depth of one foot. They overestimated, as people tend to do when hope and greed outrun the facts. Now comes a drier and hotter future, when the Colorado River will carry even less water—perhaps as little as 11 million acre-feet.
Tim Barnett and David Pierce of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography estimate that to adjust to a sustainable level of supply, consumers of Colorado River water will have to get along with 20 percent less water than they use today. That is still a lot of water to lose, but the loss may not be catastrophic. Urban users are already conserving about as much as they can per capita. Farmers, on the other hand, who consume about 80 percent of the western water supply, including in California, are wasting much through inefficient management and low-value crops. Half of the water goes to raise alfalfa to feed cattle, and much of the rest evaporates or soaks into the sand. If some of agriculture's share could be diverted to cities, there might be enough to sustain the current population. Rural communities would decline, some lucky farmers would retire with a potful of money, and the public would have to figure out where to get its lettuce, tomatoes, oranges and meat. The cost of water would go up dramatically, and those without money would go thirsty and leave. New hierarchies would take the place of old ones.
Thirty million people now depend on the Colorado River. Perhaps they can manage to adjust to a diminished flow and to declines in domestic food supplies and hydroelectric power. But more people are on the way: Demographers calculate that the population of the Southwest may increase by 10 or 20 million between now and 2050. Some of those people will come from other parts of the country, some from Mexico and Central America, and some from other nations that are coping poorly with their current problems or are overwhelmed by climate change. Whatever their origin, the new arrivals will go to the familiar oases, hoping to find the good life with a swimming pool and a green lawn.
Developers are eager to make money by selling homes to these newcomers. The political and economic culture of the Southwest is dead set against any acknowledgment of limits to growth. In the last few chapters of the book, deBuys shows that even now those in power refuse to accept any check to expansion; business must be free to do business. Others say that they are helpless to stop the influx: Patricia Mulroy, general manager of the Southern Nevada Water Authority in Las Vegas, declares, “You can't take a community as thriving as this one and put a stop sign out there. The train will run right over you.” Her solution is to create an expensive “straw” to extract water from a shrinking Lake Mead, drawing on the “dead pool” that will be left below the intakes for generating electricity. She doesn't have the money to build that straw right now, but she is working hard to keep her improbable city from drying up and becoming a casualty like ancient Mesopotamia. Similarly, Phoenix continues to issue building permits helter-skelter and counts on “augmenting the supply” of water sometime in the future. But where will the state and city go for more supply, and how will they bring it cheaply over mountains and plains to keep Phoenix sprawling into the sunset?
DeBuys gathers enough scientific evidence to make a convincing case against that growth mentality. A similar case could be made against growth in the rest of the United States, although in the East the threat may be too much water, not too little, and too many storms, not too much smoke and dust. The past warns us that ancient peoples once failed to adapt and survive. Will theirs be America's fate? Perhaps. But past human behavior may not be a reliable indicator of how people will behave in the future. If the environment is becoming nonlinear and unpredictable, as deBuys argues, then human cultures may also become nonlinear and unpredictable. No other people have had as much scientific knowledge to illuminate their condition. What we will do with that knowledge is the biggest imponderable of all.
雅思阅读高频隐性定位词
一、雅思阅读隐性定位词中Proportion=%.
通常，在我们审题的时候，会发现每个问题的选项都有特定的信号词出现，例如下面的问题中，我们可以明显看到问题6中出现的proportion，因此我们在选择相对的答案的时候，可以找找文中有没有相对应百分比的对照。然后首先看看这些百分比内容的匹配性，因此像这种隐形定位词能够有效提高我们做题的速度。
Question 1-6
Reading Passage 1 has nine sections, A-l.
Which section contains the following information?
Write the correct letter, A-l, in boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet.
6. The estimated proportion of children in New Zealand with auditory problems
对应原文：
The Impact of Hearing Loss on Young Children
A. Hearing impairment or other auditory function deficit in young children can have a major impact on their development of speech and communication, resulting in a detrimental effect on their ability to lean at school. This is likely to have major consequences for the individual and the population as a whole. The New Zealand Ministry of Health has found from research carried out over two decades that 6-10% of children in that country are affected by hearing loss.
因此第6题选A
二、雅思阅读隐性定位词中Payment，通常可以用货币符号表示。
在下面的例子中，我们可以从问题中找到关于payment这个隐性定位词。从字面可以知道payment是账单的意思，就是关于金钱，或者货币符号的形式出现。所以考生可以根据相关线索优先分析这类选项。
Question 8-13
Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?
In boxes 8-J3 on your answer sheet, write
TRUE：If the statement agrees with the information
FALSE：If the statement contradicts the information
NOT GIVEN：If there is no information on this
12. Johnson only received payment for his Dictionary on its completion.
对应原文：
Johnson signed the contract for the Dictionary with the bookseller Robert Dosley at a breakfast held at the Golden Anchor Inn near Holborn Bar on 18 June 1764. He was to be paid? 1,575 in instalments, and from this he took money to rent 17 Gough Square, in which he set up his 'dictionary workshop'. James Boswell, his biographer, described the garret where Johnson worked as 'fitted up like a counting house' with a long desk running down the middle at which the copying clerks would work standing up.
原文说的是分期in installments，而题干说的是only...completion，因此是False。
三、雅思阅读隐性定位词中Earlier=time.
如果出现这种描述时间的隐性信号词，那么选项若出现时间的形式可以优先查看。例如下文出现earlier，字面意思表示很早，表时间的，那么选项看看有没有表时间的。这样能大大提高做题速度。
Question 27-29
Reading Passage 3 has eight paragraphs A-H.
Which paragraph contains the following information?
Write the correct letter, A-H, in boxes 27-29 on your answer sheet.
27. Mention of a geo-engineering project based on an earlier natural phenomenon
对应原文：
D.The concept of releasing aerosol sprays into the stratosphere above the Arctic has been proposed by several scientists. This would involve using sculpture or hydrogen supplied aerosols so that sculpture dioxide would form clouds, which would, in turn, lead to a global dimming. The idea is modelled on historic volcanic explosions, such as that of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991, which led to a short-term cooling of global temperatures by 0.5℃.Scientists have also scrutinized whether it's possible to preserve the ice sheets of Greenland with reinforced high-tension cables, preventing icebergs from moving into the sea.
原文出现时间的地方描述historic volcanic explosions, such as that of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines，such as举例子，historic volcanic explosions对应natural phenomenon，因此选D.
四、雅思阅读隐性定位词中Refer to as= proper nouns.
当我们遇到像refer to as，这种表示要解释一个现象，一个单词意思的隐性信号词的时候。在选看选项的时候可以优先看那些专有名词的选项，换句话说就是选项有某个单词不熟悉，然后出现频率高的名词。通过下面的例子，我们可以看出：
Question 34-40
Complete the sentences.
Choose NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the passage for each answer.
Write your answers in boxes 34-40 on your answer sheet.
35. Plants which do not respond to light levels are referred to as.
对应原文：
For example, some species of birds' breeding can be induced even in midwinter simply by increasing day length artificially (Wolfson 1964). Other examples of photoperiodic occur in plants. A short-day plant flowers when the day is less than a certain critical length. A long-day plant flowers after a certain critical day length is exceeded. In both cases the critical day length differs from species to species. Plants which flower after a period of vegetative growth, regardless of photoperiod, are known as day-neutral plants.
回原文寻读，找到day-neutral plants是以斜体形式出现，且前面有限定are known as，可以确定是专有名词，do not respond to light levels对应regardless ofphotoperiod，所以填day-neutral plants.
'雅思阅读材料：英国超辣汉堡致5人住院
Diners are being asked to sign a waiver before eating a fiery chilli burger - after it put five people in hospital.
英国一餐厅推出的热辣汉堡已导致5人住院，现在再想吃这款“变态辣”汉堡要先签署免责声明。
The X.X.X Hot Chilli Burger - dubbed the hottest dish in Britain - is served to over 18s only at Burger Off in Sussex.
这款被称为英国最辣的热辣汉堡，是苏塞克斯郡汉堡店Burger Off 的料理，仅卖给18岁以上的成年人。
It is topped with chilli sauce worth a staggering 9.2million on the Scoville scale - a measure of the 'hotness' of foods. In contrast, the average chilli pepper comes in at just 500 Scoville Heat Units.
热辣汉堡涂有“史高维尔辣度指标”920万的辣椒酱。“史高维尔辣度指标”是测量食物辣度的指标，普通辣椒指数仅500。
One diner was taken to hospital with a suspected perforated bowel after eating the spicy dish, while four others were admitted for treatment on the same night for suspected anaphylactic shock.
一位顾客在吃了这款热辣汉堡后疑似因肠穿孔被送往医院救治，当晚还有4位顾客疑似过敏休克入院。
Now, restaurant owner Nick Gambardella is asking customers to sign a legal disclaimer that prevents them from suing him if they fall victim to the red-hot burger.
汉堡店老板尼克·甘巴德拉为避免顾客用餐后出现不良反应起诉自己，要求顾客只有在签署了法律免责声明后方可尝试此热辣汉堡。
The document reads: 'I the undersigned accept all responsibility for any effects incured due to the consumtion of the above mentioned X.X.X Hot Chilli Burger and release Burger Off, its owner and staff from any liability.'
声明中写道：“我签署同意，在Burger Off食用热辣汉堡所带来的一切后果责任由我个人承担，餐厅和餐厅老板、服务员免责。”
Mr Gambardella, 55, said he was 'amazed' that he was allowed to sell such a spicy burger - adding: 'It has been a massive hit with the customers'.
55岁的甘巴德拉说自己也很吃惊，居然得到了销售此款热辣汉堡的许可证，他补充道：“这在顾客中反响很大”。
'I have to admit I’ve not dared to try one of these burgers myself as they are so spicy,' he said. 'One guy came in and he was just a little bit cocky and when he left he was admitted to hospital because prior to eating the burger he had a stomach ulcerand we believe it perforated his bowel. He wasn’t in a good way but he pulled through.
“不得不承认，连我自己都不敢尝试这款热辣汉堡，因为它真的太辣了。”他说，“有位客人进店的时候还自以为是，但是离开的时候就直接入院了。在吃热辣汉堡之前这家伙就有胃溃疡，我们觉得在吃了汉堡之后他可能肠穿孔了。他还没有完全康复，但目前已经度过了危险期。”
The burger, which is on sale for only ￡3.90, features sauce based on a Piri Piri chilli concentrate, created through steaming and later infused with carbon dioxide.
这款热辣汉堡售价仅3.9英镑(约合人民币39元)，其特色在于添加其中的皮尔皮尔辣椒酱，这种辣椒酱的制作方法是先气蒸后注入二氧化碳。
So far, only 59 out of 3,000 challengers have succeeded in eating the entire dish. Many of the burger's conquerors have taken to Twitter and The Burger Off Facebook page to spread the word of their victory.
截至目前，3000名挑战者仅有59位成功吃完整个汉堡。许多挑战成功者在推特和Burger Off餐厅的脸书页面上炫耀自己的胜利。
Mr Gambardella said the burger had caused customers to adopt a number of undignified coping mechanisms, including stripping naked, begging for mercy, punching windows and vomiting.
甘巴德拉说，顾客在吃热辣汉堡时言行举止十分不雅，有的大脱衣服、有的跪地求饶、还有的捶窗呕吐。
It has also left many diners suffering from anaphylactic shock - a severe allergic reaction that can cause swelling, rashes and difficulty breathing.
大量顾客吃了热辣汉堡后过敏性休克，这种严重的过敏反应会导致肿胀、发疹和呼吸困难。
'The burgers are cooked properly - it’s the sauce that is maybe too hot to handle,' said Mr Gambardella.
甘巴德拉说：“其实汉堡烹饪是合理的。热辣汉堡这么辣，都是辣酱惹的祸。”
学术类雅思阅读题目的黄金法则
雅思学术类阅读虽然有十种题型(八种主要题型)，但在解题过程中有一条贯穿始终的黄金法则，那就是学术类阅读的基本解题思路。
STEP ONE：分析文章后的题目
拿到一篇阅读文章，考生应该首先细读题目要求，确定哪些是关于文章结构的题目，哪些是关于文章细节的题目，同时找出题目中的中心词。
STEP TWO：带着问题扫描文章
1. 扫描标题
考生拿到一篇雅思学术类阅读文章，首先应该看一下文章的标题，而迄今为止，雅思学术类阅读理解考试中大致出现过下列三种题目类型：第一种是正规标题，始可用来判断文章大意、类型、而得知文章结构;第二种是主标题加副标题，副标题有时承担揭示文章结构的重任;第三种是无标题，这种考试形式自99 年开在中国考区出现，一般文章较长而且难，但仍然可以在文章第一段发现揭示文章主题的主旨句。考生应注意：描述性标题应该予以忽略;如果文章分几个SECTION 论述，则SECTION 的标题也应该加以注意
2.扫描全文的分段情况及其他信息
考生应注意数字、百分比、分数、时间或货币符号出现较多的段落;引号、大写专有名词、括号及破折号出现较多的段落;斜体字、黑体字、下划线出现较多的
段落
3.扫描每个段落的首末句，把握文章主题：
主题句提示文章每段的主题含意，进而合成整个文章的大意。因此，一定要找出主题句，从而找出这一段的主题。主题句通常是一段文章的首句(当然并非永远如此)，寻找主题句的方法可按下列顺序：
首句 --→ 第二句 --→中间句--→ 末句
注意：如果首句是描述性语句则应该予以忽略,通过段落首末句判断段落主题的关键是找准中心词(KEY WORD)中心词最可能是表示主要概念的名词，一般是句子的主语和宾语;表明状态的动词;表示程度高低、范围大小、肯定或否定的副词;中心词会在题目及原文中以同义词形式大量出现。比如：famous - prestigious;restructure delayer.
4. 扫描连接上下文的信号词
5. 扫描文章文章中是否有图表或示意图
这些图表一般包含了一些有关回答问题的信息，因此可以先对这些图表做一扫描，了解其内容从而加快答题速度，不然的话，就可能陷在文章中四处找寻答案而乱无头绪。但应注意，一般照片、地图、漫画可以予以忽略。
STEP THREE：
以问题为中心，通过上述扫描工作，找出文章中对应的中心词，从而定位正确答案。

雅思阅读答疑解惑：阅读定位难怎么办
雅思阅读定位词选取总规则
在雅思阅读的定位中，我们主要是通过定位词来确定题目对应的文章具体部分，其原因在于简短精确，节省时间，毕竟雅思阅读文章篇幅很长，阅读量大，一个小时的时间对于大多数烤鸭们来讲实在不算充裕。
那么如何选取定位词?
首先，选取定位词需要遵循一个总的原则，即——以名词为主。
在此提醒烤鸭们不要忘记了雅思阅读考试的核心是同义替换，从考试核心出发，名词在各类词性中意思相对唯一且明确，也因此不容易出现替换，所以在选取定位词的过程中，首先需要寻找的便是名词。
当然这并不表示所有的名词都可以用作定位词。我们首先选取名词作为定位词的原因是其意思相对唯一明确，不易替换，但是名词中有一类是不符合这个特点的——抽象名词。
抽象名词可以举出很多例 子， 诸 如 reason，idea，definition… 我 们 以definition 为例，definition 的意思是“定义，解释”，一篇文章中可能会出现对多个专家学者对某一特定现象的解释或阐释，那么在这篇文章中，每一个学者说过的话，都是一个“definition”，如此一来，如果我们选择某一题目中的“definition”作为定位词，那么该题目便无法对应到文章中的具体部分，显然就无法进一步解答了。
因此，在定位词的选取上，我们要遵循名词为主的总原则，但是要排除掉名词中的抽象名词一类。
寻找特殊词
在以名词为主的总原则下，我们要进一步睁大我们的眼睛，去发现题目中的“特殊词”。那么何为“特殊词”?常见的“特殊词”又有哪些?
(1)以大写、斜体形式出现的词
雅思阅读中会有字体上的差异，大多数情况下，如果我们在题目中读到了以大写或是斜体形式出现的单词，这些词因其“外形”上的与众不同，值得我们格外留意，一般来讲，这类词是适合选择的定位词。
(2)数字
众所周知，英文里的数字相对来讲拼写繁琐，所以大多数情况下，阅读中出现的数字都是以阿拉伯数字形式出现的，包括百分数、分数等等，也因此数字在大多数情况下在一堆英文字母里就显得格外突出啦!所以，一般来讲，数字同样也是适合选作定位的“特殊词”之一。
(3)时间
雅思阅读中涉及到的时间非常多，大到世纪，小到分秒。时间同样是一类适合选择作为定位词的“特殊词”。时间的特性之一便是其唯一性，而这恰恰符合我们选择定位词的要求，诸如 1985、二十世纪等都是唯一且确定的时间，同样容易发现，且不易替换。更不用说年份这类词尝尝是以阿拉伯数字形式出现的，就更加显眼了!
(4)人名
学术类阅读中常常涉及各类专家、学者，因此人名同样是出镜频率较高的一类“特殊词”。人名出现需要大写，且拼写方式明显与其他词不同，烤鸭们最头疼的替换问题更是完全不需要担心!因此，一般情况下，人名同样是题目中适合作为定位词的“特殊词”。
雅思阅读特殊词的特殊情况
首先看题目中有无“特殊词”的原因是其显眼好找，且不易替换的特性。“不易替换”
当然不等于“不会替换”，考官们在“特殊词”上，也会想尽办法，企图难倒众烤鸭们。
例如数字上容易出现特殊情况的百分数。《剑桥雅思 7》Test 2 Passage 3 的第 34题 ：
“The survey concluded that one-fifth or 20% of the household transport requirement as outside the local area.”中选择“20%”作为定位词，而回到文章中却根本没有发现 20% 这个数字，实际上就是考官耍了一个小trick，20% outside 在文章中变成了 80% within。
所以，当用百分数 X 作为定位词没有找到对应时，我们要去寻找 1-X。
没有特殊词怎么办?
要始终坚信，考官是冷酷无情的!他们是不会轻易放过烤鸭们的，所以大多数情况下，只有少部分题目中会出现上述容易定位的“特殊词”。在没有“特殊词”的情况下，我们需要选择普通词作为主要定位词。
首先，普通词定位同样是建立在词性原则基础上的，即以名词为主。
其次，我们在选取普通定位词的时候，重点是关注一道题目中的主语名词和宾语名词。
一般情况下，我们以主语名词为主，宾语名词为辅。原因在于主语名词中的“主”字，其重要性已经不言而喻，所以一道没有“特殊词”的题目，我们首先应当关注主语名词。
但是，当宾语名词与主语名词相比，宾语名词是一个更加不熟悉、不常见，甚至完全不认识的词时，宾语名词就一跃成为了主要定位词。原因有两点：
(1)该词在文章中的对应性很强，有可能仅在此文中出现并进行专门讨论。
(2)该词本身就是一个专有名词，那么该词就从一个所谓的“普通词”变成了不易，甚至是无法替换的“特殊词”。
例 如， 剑 7 Test 1 Passage 2 中 第 22 题：
“Feeding increasing populations is possible due primarily to improved irrigation systems.”中的“irrigation systems”，即灌溉系统一词，大多数烤鸭初看该词并不知道其准确意思，但是它属于要以宾语名词为主的情况，且本身就是一个专有名词，文中该词也是以原词形式出现的。
同样的情况也适用于第 26 题：
“In the future, governments should maintain ownership of water infrastructures.”的“infrastructures”一词。
所以，当没有“特殊词”，而只能选用普通词定位时，我们需要将题目中的主语名词和宾语名词选出并比较，一般情况下以主语名词为主，宾语名词为辅;当宾语名词更加不熟悉、不常见，甚至完全不认识时，以宾语名词为主要定位词。同时需要提出的是，普通词定位大概率会出现同义替换，要想做到精确定位，除了掌握好定位原则之外，还需要在同义词上多下功夫!
总之，掌握雅思阅读定位的技巧并不能够一蹴而就。还需要各位考鸭在平时的阅读训练中多加注意和练习。同时，雅思阅读的定位技巧一定是灵活运用的，适当的变通，不要花太多时间纠结.
雅思阅读考试模拟试练习题及答案解析
Time to cool it
From The Economist print edition
1 REFRIGERATORS are the epitome of clunky technology: solid, reliable and just a little bit dull. They have not changed much over the past century, but then they have not needed to. They are based on a robust and effective idea--draw heat from the thing you want to cool by evaporating a liquid next to it, and then dump that heat by pumping the vapour elsewhere and condensing it. This method of pumping heat from one place to another served mankind well when refrigerators' main jobs were preserving food and, as air conditioners, cooling buildings. Today's high-tech world, however, demands high-tech refrigeration. Heat pumps are no longer up to the job. The search is on for something to replace them.
2 One set of candidates are known as paraelectric materials. These act like batteries when they undergo a temperature change: attach electrodes to them and they generate a current. This effect is used in infra-red cameras. An array of tiny pieces of paraelectric material can sense the heat radiated by, for example, a person, and the pattern of the array's electrical outputs can then be used to construct an image. But until recently no one had bothered much with the inverse of this process. That inverse exists, however. Apply an appropriate current to a paraelectric material and it will cool down.
3 Someone who is looking at this inverse effect is Alex Mischenko, of Cambridge University. Using commercially available paraelectric film, he and his colleagues have generated temperature drops five times bigger than any previously recorded. That may be enough to change the phenomenon from a laboratory curiosity to something with commercial applications.
4 As to what those applications might be, Dr Mischenko is still a little hazy. He has, nevertheless, set up a company to pursue them. He foresees putting his discovery to use in more efficient domestic fridges and air conditioners. The real money, though, may be in cooling computers.
5 Gadgets containing microprocessors have been getting hotter for a long time. One consequence of Moore's Law, which describes the doubling of the number of transistors on a chip every 18 months, is that the amount of heat produced doubles as well. In fact, it more than doubles, because besides increasing in number, the components are getting faster. Heat is released every time a logical operation is performed inside a microprocessor, so the faster the processor is, the more heat it generates. Doubling the frequency quadruples the heat output. And the frequency has doubled a lot. The first Pentium chips sold by Dr Moore's company, Intel, in 1993, ran at 60m cycles a second. The Pentium 4--the last “single-core” desktop processor--clocked up 3.2 billion cycles a second.
6 Disposing of this heat is a big obstruction to further miniaturisation and higher speeds. The innards of a desktop computer commonly hit 80℃. At 85℃, they stop working. Tweaking the processor's heat sinks (copper or aluminium boxes designed to radiate heat away) has reached its limit. So has tweaking the fans that circulate air over those heat sinks. And the idea of shifting from single-core processors to systems that divided processing power between first two, and then four, subunits, in order to spread the thermal load, also seems to have the end of the road in sight.
7 One way out of this may be a second curious physical phenomenon, the thermoelectric effect. Like paraelectric materials, this generates electricity from a heat source and produces cooling from an electrical source. Unlike paraelectrics, a significant body of researchers is already working on it.
8 The trick to a good thermoelectric material is a crystal structure in which electrons can flow freely, but the path of phonons--heat-carrying vibrations that are larger than electrons--is constantly interrupted. In practice, this trick is hard to pull off, and thermoelectric materials are thus less efficient than paraelectric ones (or, at least, than those examined by Dr Mischenko). Nevertheless, Rama Venkatasubramanian, of Nextreme Thermal Solutions in North Carolina, claims to have made thermoelectric refrigerators that can sit on the back of computer chips and cool hotspots by 10℃. Ali Shakouri, of the University of California, Santa Cruz, says his are even smaller--so small that they can go inside the chip.
9 The last word in computer cooling, though, may go to a system even less techy than a heat pump--a miniature version of a car radiator. Last year Apple launched a personal computer that is cooled by liquid that is pumped through little channels in the processor, and thence to a radiator, where it gives up its heat to the atmosphere. To improve on this, IBM's research laboratory in Zurich is experimenting with tiny jets that stir the liquid up and thus make sure all of it eventually touches the outside of the channel--the part where the heat exchange takes place. In the future, therefore, a combination of microchannels and either thermoelectrics or paraelectrics might cool computers. The old, as it were, hand in hand with the new.

雅思阅读 如何快速定位答案
特殊词
从原文中找“特殊词”
什么样的词是“特殊词”呢?特殊词，顾名思义，就是样子特殊、很容易在原文中找到的词。比如：时间，地点，人名，书名，杂志名，专有名词，斜体字，引号引出的词， A-B类型的词。这些词要么是数字(阿拉伯数字或是用英语单词表述的数字，需要注意形式)，要么是首字母大写的词，在原文中很容易被快速找到。
定位词
从题干中找“定位词”
然而，不是所有的题目中都包含这样的“特殊词”的，在雅思阅读中更多的题目是不包含“特殊词”的题目，这无疑增加了定位的难度。但是如果我们能通过读题迅速判断出决定题目所在的这句话不同于文中其他句子的相对独特的词，再在原文中找到这些相对独特的词，我们就可以准确的找到原文的位置了。我们来看几个例子，横线划出的是定位词：
Endangered languages cannot be saved unless people learn to speak more than one language
Savinglanguagesfrom extinction is notinitself a satisfactorygoal.
The way we think may be determined by our language.
Youngpeople often rejectthe established way of lifein their community.
A change of languagemay mean a loss of traditional culture.
题目定位
通过题目的前后顺序帮助定位
我们都知道五种小题型、判断题、选择题、总结题的顺序性都是极强的，那么在定位的时候我们可以通过前后的题目来帮助定位，就进一步加快了我们定位的速度。
雅思阅读效率需要怎样提升
虽然雅思阅读有难度，但是同学们也不能因此而对自己失去信心，雅思阅读学习需要恰当的方法，其中多多积累一些雅思阅读核心词汇很重要，下面小编就来给大家介绍一下雅思阅读在考试前要怎样备考，希望能给大家带来帮助。
其实，一个月的备考时间要想从根本上提高考生的雅思阅读能力显然不是很现实，那假如我们的备考时间只剩下了一个月，考生又该如何利用这一个月的时间呢?
1、合理安排复习时间
雅思考前一个月的复习时间基本上可以分成三个阶段，前三个星期，考前一个星期以及考前一到两天。这是一个循序渐进、查漏补缺的过程，也是一个冲刺的过程。这个月的阅读复习并不是要大量的做题，而是从另一个角度去阅读文章，去体会出题思路，然后再从词汇量上有一定的提高。小编还是要提醒大家注意总结雅思阅读核心词汇，对于雅思阅读学习很有帮助。
所以前三个星期每天只需要练习一篇文章就可以，只是练习的方式和平常要有所区别。在做这一篇文章的时候必须要规定时间，也就是二十分钟完成一篇练习，做完对完答案不可以就放一边，而要好好分析，精读一下。精读的概念就是把文章从头到尾每句话、每个词的意思都能搞清楚，尤其是和题目对应的文章部分。精读完后就要仔细看下做错的题目，总结一下是什么原因导致做错，是单词看不懂，还是句子看不懂，还是说思维方式上有点差距或者某个题型做题方法上还有待改进。这样做一篇练习然后再精读分析，一定要花一到两个小时，阅读练习的量这一天也够了。只是要每天坚持，都要花一到两个小时去看阅读，培养一种感觉，这样积累一个月会把自己的状态调整到最佳的。
考前一个星期可以找时间做一次或两次阅读模拟，也就是一个小时内完成三篇阅读文章。这种自测的作用就是能体会到考试时时间紧迫的感觉，了解到自己时间把握上的薄弱点，在最后的心态上进行调整。当然做完练习后的主动分析也是必不可少的。
考前2天基本上是属于最后冲刺阶段，但是对于阅读来说，平时的功夫更重要，考前1-2天再多做题也不会在阅读能力上有所提高。所以建议大家考前1-2 天可以把以前做过的题目拿出来看，尤其是做错的题目，然后把一些常见的词汇整理一下，把前3个星期自己分析过的内容再看一下。如果上过培训班的同学可以把老师讲过的内容尤其是做题方法再温习一下，然后保持一种稳定的心态去面对考试。
2、找好复习材料
市面上的雅思考试复习材料层出不穷，但是对于阅读准备来说最好的材料还是剑桥系列。在考前练习的材料选择还是以剑四到剑六为主。在前三个星期的“每天一练”就可以选择剑桥系列的文章。剑四到剑六一共有12套题目36篇文章，肯定是够用的。有些同学也许之前已经做过，但是隔了一段时间去做剑桥系列的阅读还是不一定能做好，所以不用担心以前已经做过的问题。同时除了A类的阅读文章之外，G类的section3那篇文章的长度和题型和A类是差不多的，也可以拿G类section3这篇文章进行练习。
如何提高雅思阅读效率
1. 概括地观察(Survey)
首先略读每章或每页的大概内容，例如：可从书本的序言和目录开始，通常作者会在序言中交代叙述的重点及动机，而目录则可帮助你了解课本的组织架构及章节层次;阅读课文的名称 title，主题 main headings 及副题 sub-headings;注意每一主题的头一句，导言 introduction 和本章提要 summary(如果有的话)，图片说明 captions to all graphics 等，这样，你不用十五分钟便对内容有概略的了解。
2. 提出一个全面的问题(Write a general question)
观察课文内容后，提出一个包含所有阅读资料的问题，把问题写在每章节的开首，令自己可以看到此问题时，便忆起全部内容。
3. 提出各别问题来引导阅读(Write questions to guide your reading)
当你看到主题、副题、图片及首句时，由此而提出有关问题，写在题目或图片旁边，帮助你阅读文章内容。
4.寻求问题的答案(Read to answer the questions)
阅读章节时，尽量跟随你的问题来找答案，把握课文重点。
5.在答案下划线(Underline words that answer the question)
在了解一段内容后，找出解答问题的重要字key words及短语phrases，并划记下来。在划记时可选用其他颜色的笔，既方便又快捷。
6. 修正问题(Revise the questions)
如果在阅读时，发现问题并未得到解答或不明确，可重新写下问题，并将有关答案的字词划记。再重读文章，遇到不明白的地方，再请教导师或同学。
7. 举一反三(Use examples)
当你理解全文时，便可将知识整理起来，同时，学习类推的方法，将知识应用于其他类似事情或日常生活上，利用连带关系，才能把文章内容融会贯通，大大提高你的阅读兴趣和能力。例如：当银行利率提高时，会使银行的存款利息增加，而你可能会联想到投资受影响，或是你会类推更多其他事项。
的如果学有余力的同学可以去看下国外的网站或者材料，例如BBC的中文网站等。但基本上是以剑桥系列的为主，因为更具有针对性，而且对雅思考试的出题思路能有个更好的理解。
3、机经的使用
有很多同学会问阅读机经在准备考试的时候有没有用，从实际意义上来说，雅思阅读机经的作用并不是很大。因为阅读只能回忆出大致内容和题型，具体的文章和题目是很难回忆出来的。所以建议考生可以利用机经看看最近常考的题型是什么，题材是什么，然后去网上看看相关题材的内容，但是背机经就一点用处都没有了。所以最后一个月的复习重点我们还是放在文章分析和题目总结上，不要盲目去看所谓的机经。
雅思阅读的做题顺序解析
虽然雅思阅读在整个考试中有一定的难度，但是大家也不能因此而失去信心，可以参加一些雅思阅读培训，了解一下都有哪些雅思阅读题型，下面小编就来给大家介绍一下雅思阅读的做题顺序是什么，希望能给大家带来帮助。
雅思阅读词汇量大，长难句多，时间有限，为很多同学所惧怕。其实阅读是最简单的，只需要花时间把答案找到。如何在有限的时间内，获得更多的分数?
具体方法如下：
一、首先决定要以什么样的顺序做题。真正的雅思考试并不是想象中的由易到难，很有可能一开始的文章就很难。设想，如果用30分钟先解决一道难题，再用剩下的30分钟去完成两道简单的题目，效果注定不好!试举剑桥4中TEST 2 为例，三篇文章分别“lost for words”, “alternative medicine in Australia”, “play is a serious business”.乍一看第三篇文章题目是最简单的，实际上它反而是最难的。
二、题型决定做题顺序，而不是题目。“lost for words”题型分别是：summary, 人名理论matching, yes/no/not given. “alternative medicine in Australia”题型分别是：multiple choices, yes/no/not given, 填空题. “play is a serious business”题型分别是：信息段落配对，多选多，人名理论配对。初步分析题型后还可以细化，理清做题思路。第一篇文章难度适中，summary 属主旨类型题建议先做，同时可以把人名全部找到以节省时间。matching题中出现五对五配对还有NB。第二篇文章题目虽难但是引言部分交待很清楚，属简单的题目。填空题实属数字游戏，整篇文章完全按顺序出题。第三篇文章难度系数较大，信息段落配对难把握，之后的人名理论配对干扰选项过多，从一开始相当于八选一。这样分析下来，我们的做题顺序应该是“Passage 2/1/3”。小编还是要提醒大家注意总结雅思阅读题型，参加一些必要的雅思阅读培训，已达到快速提高阅读成绩。
三、掌握技巧，灵活运用。题型没有绝对的难易之分，对其他考生难也许对你反而容易，要结合自己的实际情况。可以先做送分题“表格填空，图形题，完成句子”。在五大主流题型中，配对题比较费时，其中信息和段落配对最花时间，建议放在最后。而作为主旨的heading 和summary 可考虑先做，因为完成主旨题型后文章大致的内容和结构都可以掌握，对于细节题的定位会方便很多。
雅思考试像是一场战斗，应该灵活运用作战的策略和方法，后期更需要成套的阅读训练。如果能够运用这些提高效率节省时间的方法，有助于学生信心的塑造和雅思分数的提高。
雅思阅读文章结构特点分析
大多数雅思真题文章的结构是人们常说的“到金字塔”形式。这是指在一篇文章中，最重要的信息都放在开头部分，尤其是开头的前三段。也就是说，一篇文章的主题(主题句)都出现在前三段。一般我们把这样的段落称为导语段。文章一般把新闻所涉及的人物、时间、地点、过程和结果都交待出来。读者读完了导语段，也就知道了新闻的关键信息。
接下来就是逐步向读者交待事件发生的起因、过程、影响等信息。这是文章的主要部分，但是各种信息并不是平铺直叙的，而是按照它们的重要性先后出现的。与事件直接相关的信息被认为是最重要的，因此位置靠前，然后才是次要的信息。
在这一部分，文章还可以交待消息的来源，并且时常引用记者在采访中得到的有关人士的话，以证明消息的可靠。新闻还可以补充说明一些背景材料，有时不惜重复一些内容。
文章的结构有时显得松散，段落之间的逻辑关系不紧密，这是因为需要交待的信息没有一定的关联模式，只是发生的一些实事的铺陈。
新闻一般不要求结尾，尤其是总结性的结尾段。在交待完事件的全过程后，作者通常加上一两段与该消息有点关系、但是不是很重要的信息，作为新闻的结尾。
请大家参考下面的例文，体会上述结构特点。
Student Face Bleak Job Market in Japan
(introduction &main idea)
TOKYO—More than 12,000 college students in Japan, who graduate next spring, packed into the giant Tokyo Dome sports stadium Monday with the anxious hope of landing jobs.
(more facts)
Hundreds lined up before dawn, some having traveled from distant cities for a huge job-counseling program organized by the ministry of Labor.
(background)
September brings the formal start of Japan's annual job-recruitment season. But after nearly five years of recession and “job shock”, those entering the work force face the most forbidding season in years, and many have settled for jobs they would have once dismissed.
(quotes)
“I am looking for a job as receptionist, a sales clerk—it doesn't matter,” said Takako Nakahara, who flew more than 500 miles from her two years college in southern Japan for Monday's program.
(more detail)
High school and college graduates—especially women—have borne the brunt of Japan's economic pain. Thanks in large part to the lifetime employment practices of most Japanese companies, the nation's official unemployment rate is only 3.2 percent—a level Americans would consider a victory over joblessness.
雅思阅读的关键在如何定位!
如何来迅速的在一篇长达1000多词的文章中定到位呢?
一、从原文中找“特殊词”
什么样的词是“特殊词”呢?特殊词，顾名思义就是样子特殊、很容易在原文中找到的词。比如：时间，地点，人名，书名，杂志名，专有名词，斜体字，引号引出的词，A-B类型的词。这些词要么是数字(阿拉伯数字或是用英语单词表述的数字，需要注意形式)，要么是首字母大写的词，在原文中很容易被快速找到。
二、从题干中找“定位词”
然而，不是所有的题目中都包含这样的“特殊词”的，在雅思阅读中更多的题目是不包含“特殊词”的题目，这无疑增加了定位的难度。但是如果我们能通过读题迅速判断出决定题目所在的这句话不同于文中其他句子的相对独特的词，再在原文中找到这些相对独特的词我们就可以准确的找到原文的位置了。我们来看几个例子，横线划出的是定位词：
Endangered languages cannot be saved unless people learn to speak more than one language.
Saving languages from extinction is not in itself a satisfactory goal.
The way we think may be determined by our language.
Young people often reject the established way of life in their community.
A change of language may mean a loss of traditional culture.
三、通过题目的前后顺序帮助定位
我们都知道五种小题型、判断题、选择题、总结题的顺序性都是极强的，那么在定位的时候我们可以通过前后的题目来帮助定位，就进一步加快了我们定位的速度。

众所周知，雅思考试与其他英文考试不同。其不同之处不仅仅在于听说读写全面考察的考试模式，多种多样的试题类型，更在于出题者的出题思路和考察目的跟广大烤鸭们早已习惯的中式英文考试截然不同。正是这些不同，导致了很多中国烤鸭屡屡败走麦城。因为在接受了多年的有中国特色的英文教育和考试后，我们大多习惯了“无孔不入”型试题。出题者们绞尽脑汁，竭尽全力挖掘各个犄角旮旯的小细节，不“烤糊”一片誓不罢休;考生们积极捧场，本着“宁可错杀一千，不能放过一个”的指导方针，决不放过任何细节。(这种情况在阅读部分尤其突出)在这种考试思想的指导下，中国学生都有一种通病，就是及其注重所看到细节，越是看上去没什么大用的信息，越感兴趣。用这种阅读习惯来做雅思阅读，是中国烤鸭的致命伤。
