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

What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the world’s great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil. Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride andself-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.1. What is mainly discussed in the passage?___________________________________________________________ __________2. What is the author’s attitude toward beggars?___________________________________________________________ __________3. Change the underlined sentence into active voice.Related to this is the opinion that the government rather than ordinary people should _____________ the problem.4. Choose the best answer, Quite a few:A. manyB. a fewC. some5. Choose the best answer, pitiable:A. deserving pityB. lovableC. hateful6. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.7. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion,because ______.A. the cases can be so differentB. there are so many beggarsC. there is so much money wastedD. there are so many different arguments1. Arguments on giving to beggars.2. We should give some money to beggars.4. A5. A6.B7.A。
2013雅思考试阅读模拟题及答案一2013雅思考试阅读模拟题及答案一From The Economist print editionHow shops can exploit people’s herd mentality to increase sales1. A TRIP to the supermarket may not seem like an exercise in psychological warfare—but it is. Shopkeepers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they had intended. Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors. Now researchers are investigating how “swarm intelligence” (that is,how ants,bees or any social animal,including humans,behave in a crowd) can be used to influence what people buy.2. At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome,Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani,a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology,described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon. Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted:for instance,by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store,forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them. Mr Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes,also of the Florida Institute of Technology,set out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on the herd instinct. The idea is that,if a certain product is seen to be popular,shoppers are likely to choose it too. The challenge is to keep customers informed about what others are buying.3. Enter smart-cart technolog y. In Mr Usmani’s supermarket every product has a radio frequency identification tag,a sort of barcode that uses radio waves to transmit information,and every trolley has a scanner that reads this information and relays it to a central computer. As a customer walks past a shelf of goods,a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product. If the number is high,he is more likely to select it too.4. Mr Usmani’s “swarm-moves” model appeals to superma rkets because it increases sales without the need to give people discounts. And it gives shoppers the satisfaction of knowing that they bought the “right” product—that is,the one everyone else bought. The model has not yet been tested widely in the real world,mainly because radio frequency identification technology is new and has only been installed experimentally in some supermarkets. But Mr Usmani says that both Wal-Mart in America and Tesco in Britain are interested in his work,and testing will get under way in the spring.5. Another recent study on the power of social influence indicates that sales could,indeed,be boosted in this way. Matthew Salganik of Columbia University in New York and his colleagues have described creating an artificial music market in which some 14,000 people downloaded previously unknown songs. The researchers found that when people could see the songs ranked by how many times they had been downloaded,they followed the crowd. When the songs were not ordered by rank,but the number of times they had been downloaded was displayed,the effect of social influence was still there but was less pronounced. People thus follow the herd when it is easy for them to do so.6. In Japan a chain of convenience shops called RanKing RanQueen has been ordering its products according to sales data from department stores and research companies. The shops sell only the most popular items in each product category,and the rankings are updated weekly. Icosystem,a company in Cambridge,Massachusetts,also aims to exploit knowledge of social networking to improve sales.7. And the psychology that works in physical stores is just as potent on the internet. Online retailers such as Amazon are adept at telling shoppers which products are popular with like-minded consumers. Even in the privacy of your home,you can still be part of the swarm.Questions 1-6Complete the sentences below with words taken from the reading passage. Use NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.1. Shopowners realize that the smell of _______________ can increase sales of food products.2. In shops,products shelved at a more visible level sell better even if they are more _______________.3. According to Mr. Usmani,with the use of “swarm intelligence” phenomenon,a new method can be applied to encourage_______________.4. On the way to everyday items at the back of the store,shoppers might be tempted to buy _______________.5. If the number of buyers shown on the _______________ is high,other customers tend to follow them.6. Using the “swarm-moves” model,shopowners do not have to give customers _______________ to increase sales.Questions 7-12Do the following statements agree with the information given in the reading passage? For questions 7-12 writeYES if the statement agrees with the informationNO if the statement contraicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this in the passage7. Radio frequency identification technology has been installed experimentally in big supermarkets like Wal-Mart.8. People tend to download more unknown songs than songs they are familiar with.9. Songs ranked high by the number of times being downloaded are favored by customers.10. People follow the others to the same extent whether it is convenient or not.11. Items sold in some Japanese stores are simply chosen according to the sales data of other shops.12. Swarm intelligence can also be observed in everyday life.Answer keys:1. 答案:(freshly baked) bread. (第1段第2 行:Shoppers know that fillinga store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they intended.)2. 答案:expensive.

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

cosmetics=make-upproducts还有male clothes相关英文原文阅读The internet boom of the late 1990s made price comparison profitable. Price comparison services were initially implemented as client-side add-ins to the Netscape and Internet explorer browsers, and required that additional software be downloaded and installed. After these initial efforts, comparison shopping migrated to the server so that the service would be accessible to anyone with a browser. Services which are now offered by websites dedicated to price comparison and by major portals.ShoppingIn the late 1990s, as more people gained access to the internet, a range of shopping portals were built that listed retailers for specific product genres. Retailers listed paid the website a fixed fee for appearing. These were little more than an online version of the Yellow Pages. As technology has improved, a newer "breed"of shopping Web portals is being created that are changing both the business model and the features and functionality offered. These sites do not "aggregate" data-feeds provided from the retailers, they search and retrieve the data directly from each retailer site. That allows for a much more comprehensive list of retailers and the ability to update the data in real time. Generic portals and search engines launched similar services and companies that stood to benefit from increased internet shopping (especially credit card and delivery firms) launched similar sites.ServicesThrough 1998 and 1999, various firms developed technology that searched retailers websites for prices and stored them in a central database. Users could then search for a product, and see a list of retailers and prices for that product. Advertisers did not pay to be listed, but paid for every click on a price. Streetprices, founded in 1997, has been a very early company in this space; it invented price graphs and email alerts in 1998.These useful services let users see the high and low price of any product graphed over time, and request email alerts when a product's price drops to the price the user wants. Other price search engines have also evolved to provide consumers sophisticated price-tracking tools, such as price drop alerts and price history tracking.From 2004 onwards, home utility comparison services started gaining popularity in the UK, with the launch of several utility comparison sites, who have now grown into multi-million turnover corporations, including , Consumer Choices, , my Supermarket and USwitch.题型难度分析相对简单题型技巧分析本篇有填空题,填空题的做题步骤:1.读题目要求,主要看字数要求,一般不超过三个或两个,一定要看清楚2.读题目,并划出关键词,关键词首先是特殊的比如人名地名时间数字等,如果没有这些词,那就划出名词3.对所填的空进行预测,预测所填空的词性,单复数情况4.根据划出的关键词去文中定位5.对定位部分进行分析,选出答案是非无判断题是雅思阅读考试的经典题型,首先应该注意看清是TRUE还是YES,本篇是TRUE / FALSE/ NOT GIVEN。

相关英文原文阅读The oozlum bird, also spelled ouzelum, is a legendary creature found in Australian and British folk tales and legends. Some versions have it that, when startled, the bird will take off and fly around in ever-decreasing circles until it manages to fly up itself, disappearing completely, which adds to its rarity.[1] Other sources state that the bird flies backwards so that it can admire its own beautiful tail feathers, or because while it does not know where it is going, it likes to know where it has been.The Oxford English Dictionary describes it as "A mythical bird displaying ridiculous behaviour" and speculates that the word could have been suggested by the wordouzel, meaning a blackbird (turdus merula). The earliest citation recorded by the dictionary dates from 1858.A variant of the oozlum, possibly a mutation, is the weejy weejy bird, which has only one wing which causes it to fly in tighter, faster, smaller circles until it disappears up its own fundament. The oozlefinch is an American relative without feathers that flies backwards ("to keep dust, trivia, and other inconsequentia out of his eyes") at supersonic speeds, and preys on enemy bombers, which it rips from the sky. The oozlefinch has been adopted as the unofficial mascot of the United States Air Defense Artillery. The oozlum bird was the subject of the British 1970 film,Carry OnUp the Jungle. There was also a recurring joke in an episode ofthe BBC radio comedy, The Navy Lark that Lt Commander Murray(Stephen Murray) did not know what the oozlum bird was. SubLieutenant Phillips (Leslie Phillips) suggested that when young,oozlum birds fly straight, and it is only when they turn left thatthe trouble starts.The fabulous qualities of the oozlum bird is the subject of a poemby W.T. Goodge (1862 – 1909). In the poem "The Oozlum Bird", thebird is said to fly backwards and has the singular ability of beingable to fly up in the air while letting the earth turn under it.The bird is said to be large enough to bear the weight of a man.题型难度分析给段落配标题稍难题型技巧分析Heading题型做题步骤:1.读题目要求,注意是将heading前的序号写在答题卡上。
