《剑桥雅思7》课堂教学使用建议阅读篇讲解

雅思7分怎样备考听力和阅读拿到了雅思7分的学生，在准备留学的申请的时候，基本在语言上就不会有问题了。

和店铺一起看看雅思7分怎样备考听力和阅读？我觉得听力非常考验对高频场景词汇的全面掌握，不仅要会读，会拼写，而且要熟悉该单词在不同的语境和场景中会以怎样的方式作为句子的一部分被念出来。

此外，如果对于雅思听力材料的表达习惯、逻辑思维有一定的了解，在听到听力材料前半部分或者前半句的时候，脑海里能自然而然地对接下来的对话内容有一个大致的预估，在做题的时候就会有充分的思想准备而不至于慌张。

备考时，我个人主要是做三部分训练。

第一部分就是背诵高频场景词汇，在网上找到包含这个场景的句子反复听它在句子中的念法；第二部分就是做题，把剑4~11的习题全部做一遍，在成绩波动时保持稳定的心态尤为重要；第三部分就是精听，像报听写一样听一句按一下暂停写一句，然后再接着听，听完以后再去和原文比对看看自己哪里听错了。

阅读可能相对而言是我花最少时间复习的科目，因为大学有全英授课的基础，阅读了大量的英文教材和英文试题，所以雅思阅读对于我来说没有什么难度。

在做题方法方面，我个人的做题方法非常简单粗暴，就是拿到题目以后把文章看一遍，然后把题目一道一道按顺序做出来。

后来在上课的过程中，阅读老师有详细介绍题目的分布规律和平行阅读的做题方法，讲得非常精彩，对于基础相对而言没有那么扎实、阅读速度相对较慢的同学而言应该是非常实用的。

1. 在平时写雅思真题的时候，建议留那么两到三套真题（推荐比较新的题，来自剑11或12）留给最后一个星期用于模拟考试环境。

每天按照考试当天的作息起床，找个安静的环境，用手机或钟表严格地计时模拟考试。

除了模拟考试环境之外，还能给你一个考试节奏的概念，尤其是雅思阅读和雅思写作的时间分配。

（Tips：在写雅思阅读时遇到犹豫的题可以先空着，而雅思写作文可以按分值先从大作文开始写喔）2. 雅思听力和雅思阅读最后一周能帮助的不大，按照平时学习的节奏，做些题目查漏补缺就可以了。

Q u e s t i o n 1 答案：YES关键词：1400 years定位原文: 第1段第2句：“Records show that only two have collapsed during the last 1400 years.”有记录显示，在过去1400年间，只有两座倒塌了。

解题思路: 使用1400 years定位到第一段第二句，该句明确表明1400年间只有两座日本宝塔倒塌Question 2答案：NO关键词：1995, Toji temple定位原文: 第1段最后1句：“Yet it led the magnificent five-storey pagoda ...”尽管大地震将京部附近东寺周围的大量建筑夷为平地，可寺里宏伟的五层宝塔却完好无损。

解题思路: 本题的考点在于要将原文中的leave...unscathed同题干中的destroy对立起来。

unscathed指“没有负伤的，未受损伤的”，这样就与题干中的destroy(毁坏)相抵触。

Question 3答案： NOT GIVEN关键词：30 years定位原文: 第2段第2句：“It was only thirty years ago that…”仅仅在 30 年前，建筑界的从业者们才有足够信心建造髙于十二层的钢筋混凝土办公大楼。

解题思路: 这句话与此题的唯一联系就是这个thirty years，抛开这一点，两者简直是牛头不对马嘴。

即使读完全段，也未见题干中所表达的意思，而且the other buildings near the Toji pagoda的勉强对等成分也出现在第一段a number of buildings in the neighbourhood。

一道题目的主要成分零散在文中数段，这就是典型的形散神必散型的NOT GIVEN。

Question 4答案： YES关键词: builders, weather定位原文: 第3段倒数第2句：“Clearly, Japanese carpenters of the day knew ...”显而易见，当时的日本木匠懂得一些窍门让建筑物可以顺风摇摆，不与自然力量对抗，而是顺应自然，从而稳稳矗立。

雅思阅读7分解题基本技巧我们要了解雅思阅读是一门怎样的考试。

它是一门需要你在一个小时的时间里，阅读三篇超过1100词汇的文章并且答对40道题目的英语阅读考试，那么必然我们很难在这么短的时间内把文章吃透，那么我们就不得不选取一些阅读技巧来帮助我们快速得到答案。

划关键词：我们需要彻底理解每道题的题干部分，划出重点词汇，理解这些词汇会有助于我们去理解题目和文章。

我们以下面这道例题举例：C9T1S1当我们拿到这道题的时候，我们很容易发现这道题里有很多大写字母，拿第一题举例，这里有两个人，一个MF一个P，那我们选取这两个人做定位，可是往下看被吓到，7题里面有6题提到了P这个人，说明这个人在文章中必然很多，我们再瞄一眼文章标题，发现就是这个人的全名，那么很简单，这是一篇人物传记，讲解的就是这个发明合成染料的人的简介。

这道题目告诉我们，当题目中有人名、地名或者专有名词时我们应该优先选取作为我们的定位词，因为这些词汇比较明显，容易被识别，但是注意如果这个词分布全文，那么就意味着这是一个主题词，不可用。

同义替换：有时我们选取了定位词，但是这个词却并没有以原词的方式出现在文章当中，而是在一定程度上做了变形，那么此时我们需要注意我们划取的关键词做了同义替换。

我们还以刚刚那篇文章中的第4题举例，我们划取关键词为rich and famous，在原文中我们发现了fame and fortune，显然是这两个形容词的同义替换。

同学们请一定注意，这两项基本技巧贯穿雅思阅读，随着题型和文章布局的变化也会有相对应的小技巧，所以请大家一定重视起来。

同时我们也看出，如果题目只是这种细节型题目，我们完全可以使用这两项基本技巧快速得到答案，而不需要去花费太多时间去吃透全文。

以下我们将选取雅思阅读几大常见题型来细解每种题型的技巧：填空题：填空所占的比例可谓相当大，想要拿到7分的学员，填空题可谓兵家必争之地，分毫不可失。

但是奈何填空题变形多种多样，那我们如何从纷繁的填空题型当中找到一些共性呢?首先，所有的空都可以确定其词性和单复数，这一部分的判定只需要初高中的基本英语语法即可成功判断，但是在判断过程中一定要小心仔细，避免由于句型稍复杂的情况下把主语藏得比较远，导致学员判断失误。

TEST 1 PASSAGE 3 参考译文：暗示教学法Bernie Neville的《暗示教学法》一书，主要着眼于激进的新式学习方法，讲述了情感、想象力以及潜意识在学习过程中所起的作用。

书中讨论到了由Geaorge Lozanov提出的一个理论，那就是暗示的力量。

Lozanov的教学技巧主要基于这样的证据：在无意识状态下(他称此为非特异性心理反应)大脑所作出的各种联系要比在有意识状态下作出的持续更长时间。

除了实验室证据可以证明这一点之外，我们自身的经历也表明我们通常会记住自己所观察到的周边信息，而忘记最开始的学习目的。

回想一下几个月前或是几年前学过的课本，会发现我们能够轻易地回想起一些无关紧要的细节，比如书的颜色、装订、字体或是我们当时在图书馆阅读此书时做过的桌子，而不是回想起当时我们集中精力所看的课本的内容。

再试着回想一下我们曾经认真聆听过的讲座，较之应该听到的演讲主题而言，我们会更容易回想起演讲者的容貌和举止风度，我们在报告厅的位置甚至是当时坏掉的空调。

及时这些周边细节是比较容易忘掉的，但在催眠状态下，或是当我们像演心理剧那样在想象中重温当时的情景时，这些周边信息就能很快的被回想起来。

而另一方面，演讲内容的细节信息早就被抛到九霄云外去了。

这种现象的产生有一部分归因于常见的起反作用效果的学习方法(拼尽全力去记忆，令肌肉紧张，最终导致疲惫)。

但同时它也恰恰反映出大脑运转的方式。

据此Lozanov建立了他教育系统的核心：间接教学法，也叫暗示法。

在他称之为暗示教学法(suggestopedia)的方法中，学生的注意力被从本该集中精力学习的课程上转移到了外部信息上。

这样课程本身就成了外部信息，由此就可以被大脑的储备功能来处理。

剑桥雅思7G类阅读真题（A-1）解析：General Training: Reading and WritingTest AREADINGSECTION 1篇章结构（Passage 1）体裁：应用文主要内容：一则能源公司的服务启示。

试题解析Questions 1-7•题型：TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN 判断题•题目解析：题号题目定位词答案位置题解1change of address（回原文按顺序找寻可能包含此内容的段落小标题，即Moving home）段落小标题Moving home正文的第1行题目：住户一搬到新家，就应该通知东部能源公司其地址变更。

原文：如果您要搬家，请尽早通知我们，我们至少需要48小时的时间对您煤气和电的供应做一些必要的安排。

必要分析：原文就题目中的搬家细节给予了信息，所以排除了NOT GIVEN的可能性。

题目说：住户搬到新家后再通知东能源公司，显然与文章中要求的：至少提前48小时不符。

所以答案为FALSE。

2read...meters（回原文按顺序找寻可能包含这项的段落小标题，即Meter reading）段落小标题Meter reading正文全部题目：住户应自己读煤气表或电表数。

原文：东部能源公司使用各种类型的仪表，从传统的刻度表到新科技的数字显示表。

无论哪种表，都是从左往右读，忽略任何红色的数字。

如果您需要帮助，请随时联系24小时电话0600 7310 310。

必要分析：原文中对题目的对应问题，一共有三句陈述：从提供煤气表、电表的类型，到教住户该如何正确阅读数字，以至于如果仍有问题，可以求助24小时电话。

由这些可以看出他们认为住户有能力而且也应该自己读出表上数值。

所以答案为TRUE。

3cheaper, gas, rather than electricity段落小标题Moving home和Meter reading两个段落中题目：现在，作为供暖方式，煤气比电更便宜。

You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 14-26, which are based on Reading Passage 2 below. The True Cost of Food A For more than forty years the cost of food has been rising. It has now reached a point where a growing number of people believe that it is far too high, and that bringing it down will be one of the great challenges of the twenty first century. That cost, however, is not in immediate cash. In the West at least, most food is now far cheaper to buy in relative terms than it was in 1960. The cost is in the collateral damage of the very methods of food production that have made the food cheaper: in the pollution of water, the enervation of soil, the destruction of wildlife, the harm to animal welfare and the threat to human health caused by modern industrial agriculture. B First mechanisation, then mass use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides, then monocultures, then battery rearing of livestock, and now genetic engineering — the onward march of intensive farming has seemed unstoppable in the last half-century, as the yields of produce have soared. But the damage it has caused has been colossal. In Britain, for example, many of our best-loved farmland birds, such as the skylark, the grey partridge, the lapwing and the corn bunting, have vanished from huge stretches of countryside, as have even more wild flowers and insects. This is a direct result of the way we have produced our food in the last four decades. Thousands of miles of hedgerows, thousands of ponds, have disappeared from the landscape. The faecal filth of salmon farming has driven wild salmon from many of the sea Iochs and rivers of Scotland. Natural soil fertility is dropping in many areas because of continuous industrial fertiliser and pesticide use, while the growth of algae is increasing in lakes because of the fertiliser run-off. C Put it all together and it looks like a battlefield, but consumers rarely make the connection at the dinner table. That is mainly because the costs of all this damage are what economists refer to as externalities: they are outside the main transaction, which is for example producing and selling a field of wheat, and are borne directly by neither producers nor consumers. To many, the costs may not even appear to be financial at all, but merely aesthetic — a terrible shame, but nothing to do with money. And anyway they, as consumers of food, certainly aren’t paying for it, are they? D But the costs to society can actually be quantified and, when added up, can amount to staggering sums. A remarkable exercise in doing this has been carried out by one of the world’s leading thinkers on the future of agriculture, Professor Jules Pretty, Director of the Centre for Environment and Society at the University of Essex. Professor Pretty and his colleagues calculated the externalities of British agriculture for one particular year. They added up the costs of repairing the damage it caused, and came up with a total figure of ￡2,343m. This is equivalent to ￡208 for every hectare of arable land and permanent pasture, almost as much again as the total government and EUspend on British farming in that year. And according to Professor Pretty, it was a conservative estimate. E The costs included: ￡120m for removal of pesticides; ￡16m for removal of nitrates; ￡55m for removal of phosphates and soil; ￡23m for the removal of the bug cryptosporidium from drinking water by water companies; ￡125m for damage to wildlife habitats, hedgerows and dry stone walls;￡1,113m from emissions of gases likely to contribute to climate change; ￡106m from soil erosion and organic carbon losses; ￡169m from food poisoning; and ￡607m from cattle disease. Professor Pretty draws a simple but memorable conclusion from all this: our food bills are actually threefold. We are paying for our supposedly cheaper food in three separate ways: once over the counter, secondly through our taxes, which provide the enormous subsidies propping up modern intensive farming, and thirdly to clean up the mess that modern farming leaves behind. F So can the true cost of food be brought down? Breaking away from industrial agriculture as the solution to hunger may be very hard for some countries, but in Britain, where the immediate need to supply food is less urgent, and the costs and the damage of intensive farming have been clearly seen, it may be more feasible. The government needs to create sustainable, competitive and diverse farming and food sectors, which will contribute to a thriving and sustainable rural economy, and advance environmental, economic, health, and animal welfare goals. G But if industrial agriculture is to be replaced, what is a viable alternative? Professor Pretty feels that organic farming would be too big a jump in thinking and in practices for many farmers. Furthermore, the price premium would put the produce out of reach of many poorer consumers. He is recommending the immediate introduction of a ‘Greener Food Standard’, which would push the market towards more sustainable environmental practices than the current norm, while not requiring the full commitment to organic production. Such a standard would comprise agreed practices for different kinds of farming, covering agrochemical use, soil health, land management, water and energy use, food safety and animal health. It could go a long way, he says, to shifting consumers as well as farmers towards a more sustainable system of agriculture. Questions 14-17 Reading Passage 2 has seven paragraphs, A-G.

剑桥雅思7Test3阅读解析剑桥雅思7 Test 3 阅读解析READING PASSAGE 1You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.Ant IntelligenceWhen we think of intelligent members of the animal kingdom, the creatures that spring immediately to mind are apes and monkeys. But in fact the social lives of some members of the insect kingdom are sufficiently complex to suggest more than a hint of intelligence. Among these, the world of the ant has come in for considerable scrutiny仔细检查lately, and the idea that ants demonstrate sparks of cognition认识力has certainly not been rejected by those involved in these investigations.【重要词组】spring to (sb's) mindif someone or something springs to mind, you immediately think of them Two questions spring to mind.Ants store food, repel attackers and use chemical signals to contact one another in case of attack. Such chemical communication can be compared to the human use of visual and auditory听觉的channels (as in religious chant s圣歌,赞美诗, advertising images and jingle s叮当声, political slogans and martial music军乐) to arouse and propagate传播moods and attitudes. The biologist Lewis Thomas wrote, Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment. They farm fungi 菌类, raise aphid s蚜虫as livestock, launch armies to war, use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse使糊涂enemies, capture slaves, engage in child labour, exchange information ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television.However, in ants there is no cultural transmission —everything must be encoded in the genes — whereas in humans the opposite is true. Only basic instincts are carried in the genes of a newborn baby, other skills being learned from others in the community as the child grows up. It may seem that this cultural continuity连续性gives us a huge advantage over ants. They have never mastered fire nor progressed. Their fungus farming and aphid herding crafts are sophisticated when compared to the agricultural skills of humans five thousand years ago but have been totally overtakenby modern human agribusiness农业综合企业.Or have they The farming methods of ants are at least sustainable. They do not ruinenvironments or use enormous amounts of energy. Moreover, recent evidencesuggests that the crop farming of ants may be more sophisticated and adaptable thanwas thought.Ants were farmers fifty million years before humans were. Ants can't digest thecellulose纤维素in leaves —but some fungi can. The ants therefore cultivate thesefungi in their nests, bringing them leaves to feed on, and then use them as a source offood. Farmer ants secrete分泌antibiotic s抗菌素to control other fungi that mightact as 'weeds', and spread waste to fertilise the crop.It was once thought that the fungus that ants cultivate was a single type that they hadpropagated, essentially unchanged from the distant past.Not so. Ulrich Mueller ofMaryland and his colleagues genetically screened 862 different types of fungi takenfrom ants' nests. These turned out to be highly diverse: it seems that ants arecontinually domesticat ing驯养new species. Even more impressively, DNA analysis of the fungi suggests that the ants improve or modify the fungi by regularly swap ping and sharing strains withneighbouring ant colonies.【重要词组】swap(also swop) / sw?p; swɑp/ v (-pp-) (infml 口)~ (sth) (with sb);~ (sb) sth for sth; ~ sth (over/round) give sth in exchange for sthelse; substitute sth for sth else 以某物交换他物; 以此物代替彼物: Your book looks more interesting than mine: do you want to swap (with me) 你的书好像比我的有意思, 你愿意（和我）交换吗* They swapped (ie told each other) stories about their army days. 他们互相讲述了他们在军队中的经历. * I'll swap (you) my Michael Jackson tape for your Bruce Springsteen album. 我想用迈克尔杰克逊的录音带交换你的布鲁斯.斯普林斯廷唱片集. * She swapped our chairs (round), so I had hers and she had mine. 她把我们俩的椅子对调了, 因此我坐的是她的, 她坐的是我的. * I wouldn't swap places with him for anything, ie would not wish to be in his situation. 我说什麽也不愿意处於他的地位.Whereas prehistoric man had no exposure to urban lifestyles — the forcing house of intelligence — the evidence suggests that ants have lived in urban settings for closeon a hundred million years, developing and maintainingunderground cities of specialised专门的,特定职能的chambers and tunnels.When we survey Mexico City, Tokyo, Los Angeles, we are amazed at what has been accomplished by humans. Yet Hoelldobler and Wilson's magnificent work for ant lovers, The Ants, describes a supercolony of the ant Formica yessensis石狩红蚁on the Ishikari Coast of Hokkaido. This 'megalopolis'巨大都市was reported to be composed of 360 million workers and a million queens living in 4,500 interconnected nests across a territory of 2.7 square kilometres.Such enduring and intricately复杂地meshed levels of technical achievement outstrip胜过by far anything achieved by our distant ancestors. We hail as masterpieces the cave paintings in southern France and elsewhere, dating back some 20,000 years. Ant societies existed in something like their present form more than seventy million years ago. Beside this, prehistoric man looks technologically primitive.

They combine the evidence of visual landmarks with a mental library of local directions, all within a framework which is consulted and updated. So ants can learn too.And in a twelve-year programme of work, Ryabko and Reznikova have found evidence that ants can transmit very complex messages. Scouts侦查兵who had located food in a maze returned to mobilise动员their foraging teams. They engaged in contact sessions, at the end of which the scout was removed in order to observe what her team might do. Often the foragers proceeded to the exact spot in the maze where the food had been. Elaborate精细的, 精心的precaution s预防措施were taken to prevent the foraging team using odour clues. Discussion now centres on whether the route through the maze is communicated as a 'left- right' sequence序列, 顺序of turns or as a 'compass bearing and distance' message.During the course of this exhaustive详尽的; 彻底的study, Reznikova has grown so attached to her laboratory ants that she feels she knows them as individuals — even without the paint spots used to mark them. It's no surprise that Edward Wilson, in his essay, 'In the company of ants', advises readers who ask what to do with the ants in their kitchen to: 'Watch where you step.
