Thomas Young
The Last True Know-It-All
A Thomas Young （1773-1829） contributed 63 articles to the Encyclopedia Britannica， including 46 biographical entries （mostly on scientists and classicists） and substantial essays on ＂Bridge，” ＂Chromatics，＂ ＂Egypt，＂ ＂Languages＂ and ＂Tides＂. Was someone who could write authoritatively about so many subjects a polymath， a genius or a dilettante？ In an ambitious new biography， Andrew Robinson argues that Young is a good contender for the epitaph ＂the last man who knew everything.＂ Young has competition， however： The phrase， which Robinson takes for his title， also serves as the subtitle of two other recent biographies： Leonard Warren＇s 1998 life of paleontologist Joseph Leidy （1823-1891） and Paula Findlen＇s 2023 book on Athanasius Kircher （1602-1680）， another polymath.
B Young， of course， did more than write encyclopedia entries. He presented his first paper to the Royal Society of London at the age of 20 and was elected a Fellow a week after his 21st birthday. In the paper， Young explained the process of accommodation in the human eye on how the eye focuses properly on objects at varying distances. Young hypothesized that this was achieved by changes in the shape of the lens. Young also theorized that light traveled in waves and he believed that， to account for the ability to see in color， there must be three receptors in the eye corresponding to the three ＂principal colors＂ to which the retina could respond： red， green， violet. All these hypothesis were subsequently proved to be correct.
C Later in his life， when he was in his forties， Young was instrumental in cracking the code that unlocked the unknown script on the Rosetta Stone， a tablet that was ＂found＂ in Egypt by the Napoleonic army in 1799. The stone contains text in three alphabets： Greek， something unrecognizable and Egyptian hieroglyphs. The unrecognizable script is now known as demotic and， as Young deduced， is related directly to hieroglyphic. His initial work on this appeared in his Britannica entry on Egypt. In another entry， he coined the term Indo-European to describe the family of languages spoken throughout most of Europe and northern India. These are the landmark achievements of a man who was a child prodigy and who， unlike many remarkable children， did not disappear into oblivion as an *.
D Born in 1773 in Somerset in England， Young lived from an early age with his maternal grandfather， eventually leaving to attend boarding school. He haddevoured books from the age of two， and through his own initiative he excelled at Latin， Greek， mathematics and natural philosophy. After leaving school， he was greatly encouraged by his mother＇s uncle， Richard Brocklesby， a physician and Fellow of the Royal Society. Following Brocklesby＇s lead， Young decided to pursue a career in medicine. He studied in London， following the medical circuit， and then moved on to more formal education in Edinburgh， Gottingen and Cambridge. After completing his medical training at the University of Cambridge in 1808， Young set up practice as a physician in London. He soon became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and a few years later was appointed physician at St. George＇s Hospital.
E Young＇s skill as a physician， however， did not equal his skill as a scholar of natural philosophy or linguistics. Earlier， in 1801， he had been appointed to a professorship of natural philosophy at the Royal Institution， where he delivered as many as 60 lectures in a year. These were published in two volumes in 1807. In 1804 Young had become secretary to the Royal Society， a post he would hold until his death. His opinions were sought on civic and national matters， such as the introduction of gas lighting to London and methods of ship construction. From 1819 he was superintendent of the Nautical Almanac and secretary to the Board of Longitude. From 1824 to 1829 he was physician to and inspector of calculations for the Palladian Insurance Company. Between 1816 and 1825 he contributed his many and various entries to the Encyclopedia Britannica， and throughout his career he authored numerous books， essays and papers.
F Young is a perfect subject for a biography - perfect， but daunting. Few men contributed so much to so many technical fields. Robinson＇s aim is to introduce non-scientists to Young＇s work and life. He succeeds， providing clear expositions of the technical material （especially that on optics and Egyptian hieroglyphs）. Some readers of this book will， like Robinson， find Young＇s accomplishments impressive； others will see him as some historians have - as a dilettante. Yet despite the rich material presented in this book， readers will not end up knowing Young personally. We catch glimpses of a playful Young， doodling Greek and Latin phrases in his notes on medical lectures and translating the verses that a young lady had written on the walls of a summerhouse into Greek elegiacs. Young was introduced into elite society， attended the theatre and learned to dance and play the flute. In addition， he was an accomplished horseman. However， his personal life looks pale next to his vibrant career and studies.
G Young married Eliza Maxwell in 1804， and according to Robinson， ＂their marriage was a happy one and she appreciated his work.＂ Almost all we know about her is that she sustained her husband through some rancorous disputes about optics and that she worried about money when his medical career was slow to take off. Very little evidence survives about the complexities of Young＇s relationships with his mother and father. Robinson does not credit them， or anyone else， with shaping Young＇s extraordinary mind. Despite the lack of details concerning Young＇s relationships， however， anyone interested in what it means to be a genius should read this book.

試題分析
Question 1-7
題目類型：True / false /not given
題號(hào)定位詞文中對(duì)應(yīng)點(diǎn)題目解析
1Other peopleA段第四句“Young has competition， however： The phrase， which Robinson takes for his title， also serves as the subtitle of two other recent biographies： Leonard Warren＇s 1998 life of paleontologist Joseph Leidy （1823-1891） and Paula Findlen＇s 2023 book on Athanasius Kircher （1602-1680）， another polymath.”該句中明確給出了Young還有其他的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者，他們的傳記中也同樣擁有這樣的小標(biāo)題，分別是Leonard Warren寫的關(guān)于Joseph Leidy的傳記，以及 Paula Findlen＇s寫的關(guān)于Athanasius Kircher的傳記。
因此，本題答案為True
2all， articlesB段第一、二句B段第一句 “Young， of course， did more than write encyclopedia entries.”明確表示Young所做的遠(yuǎn)不僅僅是編輯大英百科全書的詞條，因此并不是所有的都在百科全書。而在本段第二句中，作者指出，Young在20歲的時(shí)候?qū)⒆约旱牡谝黄撐淖运]給倫敦皇家學(xué)會(huì)，并在一年后成為該學(xué)會(huì)的會(huì)員： He presented his first paper to the Royal Society of London at the age of 20 and was elected a Fellow a week after his 21st birthday。Paper與article為近意思。顯然，題干與原文含義相反。
因此，本題答案為False
3likeC段最后一句C段整體是在介紹Young晚年的主要成就，即Young長(zhǎng)大后的成就。此外，在C段最后一句中，作者明確指出Young和其他的孩子不同的一點(diǎn)在于，Young并沒(méi)有像其他那些年少成名而后來(lái)江郎才盡的孩子一樣，他后來(lái)同樣取得了非凡的成就： These are the landmark achievements of a man who was a child prodigy and who， unlike many remarkable children， did not disappear into oblivion as an *.句中的unlike為like的反義詞，顯然題干與原文含義相反。
因此，本題答案為False
4surpassingD段第四、七句D段介紹了Young的成長(zhǎng)背景和經(jīng)歷，同時(shí)體現(xiàn)出其涉獵范圍較為廣泛。其中第四句中提到Y(jié)oung決定學(xué)醫(yī)，并且在后面的介紹中指出Young還參加戲劇演出，學(xué)習(xí)跳舞和吹笛子： He then broke with his Quaker upbringing by attending the theater and learning to dance and play the flute. In addition， he was an accomplished horseman.而在第七句中作者指出Young還是一名杰出的馬術(shù)師。但是并未指出Young在哪個(gè)方面的造詣更高，更有天賦。Surpassing這個(gè)概念并沒(méi)有在文中體現(xiàn)。
因此，本題答案為Not Given
5soughtE段第四句“ His opinions were sought on civic and national matters”，文中表明Young的很多觀點(diǎn)關(guān)注人民和國(guó)家事務(wù)。題干與原文含義相同。
因此，本題答案為True
6Interested in， social pastimeF段第七句“We catch glimpses of a playful Young， doodling Greek and Latin phrases in his notes on medical lectures and translating the verses that a young lady had written on the walls of a summerhouse into Greek elegiacs.”文中指出，通過(guò)Young的醫(yī)學(xué)演講中亂寫的希臘字母和拉丁短語(yǔ)以及將一位年輕女性寫在涼亭上的詩(shī)歌翻譯成希臘挽歌便能看出他的幽默。顯然，Young對(duì)于這樣的社交娛樂(lè)是感興趣的。題干和原文相符合。
因此，本題答案為True
7disease， later yearsC段第一句，G段第一句C段第一句給出了“l(fā)ater in his life，”但是本段近講述了Young晚年在學(xué)術(shù)方面的成就；G段給出了Young的婚后生活，以及Robinson在書中并未提及Young與父母間的關(guān)系。但無(wú)論哪一個(gè)點(diǎn)都沒(méi)有提及其晚年飽受某種疾病之苦。
因此，本題答案為Not Given
題目類型：Short-answer question
8life storiesA段第一句“Thomas Young （1773-1829） contributed 63 articles to the Encyclopedia Britannica， including 46 biographical entries （mostly on scientists and classicists）…”該劇中的“biographical entries”指?jìng)饔浽~條，與題干中的life stories表示相同涵義。
因此，本題答案為46
9first academic paperB段第三句“In the paper， on how the eye focuses properly on objects at varying distances， Young hypothesized that deformation of the crystalline lens accomplished the accommodation.”B段段首表明，Young將自己的第一篇論文自薦給了倫敦皇家學(xué)會(huì)學(xué)會(huì)。因此本段討論的是其第一篇論文。而本段第三句指出，在這篇論文中，Young主要討論了人類眼球的調(diào)節(jié)機(jī)制
因此，本題答案為humaneye或human eye accommodation
10a group of languagesC段第五句“In another entry， he coined the term Indo-European to describe the family of languages spoken throughout most of Europe and northern India.”該句指出，Young創(chuàng)造了術(shù)語(yǔ) Indo-European來(lái)描述在歐洲大部分地區(qū)以及北印度使用的語(yǔ)言。
因此，本題答案為Indo-European
11inspire， medical studiesD段第四句D段前面介紹了Young童年時(shí)期的生活背景。本段第四句中則指出：“Following Brocklesby＇s lead， Young decided to pursue a career in medicine.”。顯然，正是因?yàn)?Richard Brocklesby的引導(dǎo)，Young才決定在醫(yī)學(xué)方面有所建樹。
因此，本題答案為 Richard Brocklesby
12teaching positionE段第二句“ Earlier， in 1801， he had been appointed to a professorship of natural philosophy at the Royal Institution”，題干中的teaching position與E段第二句中的professorship均表示“教師職位”，該句明確指出，Young作為自然哲學(xué)的教授，受聘于英國(guó)科學(xué)研究所。
因此，本題答案為 Royal Institution
13LondonE段第五句“His opinions were sought on civic and national matters， such as the introduction of gas lighting to London and methods of ship construction.”E段主要介紹了Young作為自然哲學(xué)學(xué)者取得的成就。而第五句則列舉了Young的兩個(gè)成就，其對(duì)于倫敦的所做出的成就在于煤氣照明的引入。
因此，本題答案為gas lighting
A我們?cè)撛鯓永斫馔旭R斯·楊（1773-1829）？他是《大不列顛百科全書》中63篇文章的作者，其中包括46篇傳記（大部分都是關(guān)于科學(xué)家和古典學(xué)者），和大量關(guān)于“橋” “色彩論” “埃及” “語(yǔ)吉” “潮汐”等的論文。一個(gè)能夠?qū)懗鲞@樣多有權(quán)威性文章的人應(yīng)該算是一個(gè)博學(xué)者？ 一個(gè)天才？還是一個(gè)業(yè)余興趣廣泛的人呢？在一篇關(guān)于他的比較激進(jìn)的傳記中，Andrew Robinson 認(rèn)為托馬斯楊是-位強(qiáng)有力的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者能夠配得這樣的墓志銘“是最后一個(gè)知道任何事的人”。但是楊也要面對(duì)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)：因?yàn)檫@樣的傳記標(biāo)題Robinson不僅給了他，也作為副標(biāo)題給了有關(guān)另兩位學(xué)者的傳記：Lenard Warren 1998年著的《古生物學(xué)家Joseph Leipy的一生》（1823-1891）以及Paula Findlen 2023年著的關(guān)于另一位博學(xué)者Athanasius Kircher（1602-1680）的傳記。
B當(dāng)然楊的貢獻(xiàn)遠(yuǎn)不止寫了很多百科全書上的文章，他在20歲的時(shí)候?qū)⒆约旱牡谝黄撐淖运]給倫敦皇家學(xué)會(huì)，并在他的21歲生日后被評(píng)為一周科學(xué)人物，楊在該篇論文中解釋了人類眼睛的調(diào)節(jié)機(jī)制一一關(guān)于眼睛如何通過(guò)不同的距離聚焦在物體上。在后面的文章中，他更加全面地探討了這個(gè)問(wèn)題，類似牛頓，他在自己身上進(jìn)行了可怕的實(shí)驗(yàn)用以獲得相關(guān)的證據(jù)，他還得出這樣的理論：光是通過(guò)“以太”分子的振動(dòng)，以波的形式進(jìn)行傳遞的，而“以太”是一種假想物質(zhì)，其存在還存在爭(zhēng)議性。他還認(rèn)為為了能看見(jiàn)顏色，必須要有3個(gè)感應(yīng)器對(duì)“三原色”進(jìn)行感應(yīng)，而這三種視網(wǎng)膜對(duì)其產(chǎn)生感應(yīng)的顏色就是紅，黃，藍(lán)二種顏色。
C在他人生的晚些時(shí)候，也就是40多歲的時(shí)候，楊試圖破解鎖在羅塞塔石碑里的未知文字密碼，這個(gè)石碑是在1799年在埃及被拿破侖的軍隊(duì)發(fā)現(xiàn)的，并且從1802年起就在英國(guó)博物館進(jìn)行展出。該石碑上包含了 3種不同的字母：希臘語(yǔ)，不可辨識(shí)的文字以及埃及的象形文字。這種不可辨識(shí)的文字現(xiàn)在被認(rèn)為是正如楊所推斷的是很普通的，是和象形文字直接相關(guān)的。他最初有關(guān)這方面的工作首次出現(xiàn)在他在《大不列顛百科全書》中編纂的詞條。在另一個(gè)條目中，他創(chuàng)造了術(shù)語(yǔ)“Indo-European”來(lái)描述在歐洲大部分地區(qū)以及北印度使用的語(yǔ)言。這些都是這是這位從小就展露科學(xué)天賦并且不像很多孩子后來(lái)江郎才盡的科學(xué)家獲得的里程碑式的成就。
D托馬斯·楊出生在英國(guó)薩默塞特郡一個(gè)虔誠(chéng)的教友會(huì)教徒家庭，從小和他的外公一起長(zhǎng)大，最后去了寄宿學(xué)校。他兩歲的時(shí)候就博覽群書，并且自學(xué)熟練掌握了拉丁語(yǔ)，希臘語(yǔ)，數(shù)學(xué)以及哲學(xué)，在很大程度上他受到了舅舅Richard Brocklesby的鼓勵(lì)，他的舅舅也是英國(guó)皇家學(xué)會(huì)的一位內(nèi)科醫(yī)生。在Brocklesby的引導(dǎo)下，楊決定要在醫(yī)學(xué)方而有所建樹，他曾先后在倫敦大學(xué)、愛(ài)丁堡大學(xué)和格丁根大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)醫(yī)學(xué)，多虧了Brocklesby的引薦，楊進(jìn)入了英國(guó)皇家學(xué)會(huì)，他最后也打破了從小在教友會(huì)的教育，他參加戲劇演出，學(xué)習(xí)跳舞和吹笛子，此外，他還是一位杰出的馬術(shù)師。在1808年結(jié)束在劍橋大學(xué)的醫(yī)學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)后，楊在倫敦開(kāi)了一家診所，很快他就成為皇家內(nèi)科醫(yī)生學(xué)會(huì)的一員，并且?guī)啄旰蟪蔀槭讨吾t(yī)院的一名內(nèi)科醫(yī)生。
E楊作為內(nèi)科醫(yī)生的醫(yī)術(shù)卻趕不上他作為自然哲學(xué)學(xué)者或是語(yǔ)言學(xué)家取得的成就，早在1801年，他已經(jīng)被任命為英國(guó)皇家學(xué)會(huì)的教授，他每年要在那里舉辦60場(chǎng)的講座。這些講座在1807年以兩本書的形式進(jìn)行出版。1804年楊就已經(jīng)成為英國(guó)朵家學(xué)會(huì)的秘書，而他獲此殊榮直至去世。他的很多觀點(diǎn)關(guān)注人民和國(guó)家事務(wù)，比如說(shuō)在倫敦引進(jìn)煤氣照明和造船方法。從1819年起，他就是航海天文年歷的主要負(fù)責(zé)人，也是Board of Longitude的秘書。從1824年到1829年，他擔(dān)任Palladian 保險(xiǎn)公司的精算師和內(nèi)科醫(yī)生。在1816年和1825年間，他為《大不列顛百科全書》編纂了許多詞條，而且窮其一生著作，論文無(wú)數(shù)。
F我們通過(guò)楊在醫(yī)學(xué)課上胡亂寫的希臘字母和拉丁文短語(yǔ)以及他將一位年輕的女士寫在避暑山莊墻上的詩(shī)句翻譯成挽歌可以看出他的幽默，但是他的個(gè)人生活也因?yàn)樽约簩?duì)工作和研究的全情投入而略顯蒼白。
G他在1804年和Eliza Maxwell結(jié)婚，據(jù)Robinson所述“他們的婚姻是幸福的，因?yàn)樗姆蛉诵蕾p他的工作”。我們對(duì)于他夫人的了解僅限于她在她丈夫備受一些關(guān)于眼睛的理論方面爭(zhēng)議的時(shí)候總是堅(jiān)定地支持他，并且當(dāng)他的醫(yī)學(xué)生涯開(kāi)始慢慢起飛的時(shí)候，她開(kāi)始有些擔(dān)心錢的問(wèn)題。值得一提的是，楊沒(méi)有被保護(hù)的人，他都是和自己的導(dǎo)師進(jìn)行互動(dòng)一一先是他的外公，后是Brocklesby一一還有先于他過(guò)失的一些偉人（其中很多是很著名的如牛頓，楊最早在17歲讀了他寫的書）。但是關(guān)于楊和他母親以及父親的關(guān)系的記述卻鮮力人知，Robinson在說(shuō)到楊的非凡的頭腦時(shí)也并沒(méi)有將其歸功于他的父母，或許很難有這樣的巧合：過(guò)去的天才都是由于卓越的父母教育造就的。

希望以上的答復(fù)能對(duì)您的留學(xué)申請(qǐng)有所幫助。如果您有任何更詳細(xì)的問(wèn)題或需要進(jìn)一步的協(xié)助，我強(qiáng)烈推薦您訪問(wèn)我們的留學(xué)官方網(wǎng)站 ，在那里您可以找到更多專業(yè)的留學(xué)考試規(guī)劃和留學(xué)資料以及*的咨詢服務(wù)。祝您留學(xué)申請(qǐng)順利！

Passage2： 悉尼交通標(biāo)識(shí)Street markers in Sydney
Passage3： Musical Maladies
參考答案：
A. Music and the brain are both endlessly fascinating subjects， and as a neuroscientist specializing in auditory learning and memory， I find them especially intriguing. So I had high expectations of Musicophilia， the latest offering from neurologist and prolific author Oliver Sacks. And I confess to feeling a little guilty reporting that my reactions to the book are mixed.
B. Sacks himself is the best part of Musicophilia. He richly documents his own life in the book and reveals highly personal experiences. The photograph of him>C. The preface gives a good idea of what the book will deliver. In it Sacks explains that he wants to convey the insights gleaned from the enormous and rapidly growing body of work>complex and often bizarre disorders to which these are prone.＂ He also stresses the importance of the simple art of observation＂ and the richness of the human context. He wants to combine observation and description with the latest in technology，” he says， and to imaginatively enter into the experience of his patients and subjects. The reader can see that Sacks， who has been practicing neurology for 40 years， is torn between the old-fashioned path of observation and the new-fangled， high-tech approach： He knows that he needs to take heed of the latter， but his heart lies with the former.
D. The book consists mainly of detailed descriptions of cases， most of them involving patients whom Sacks has seen in his practice. Brief discussions of contemporary neuroscientific reports are sprinkled liberally throughout the text. Part I， Haunted by Music，＂ begins with the strange case of Tony Cicoria， a nonmusical， middle-aged surgeon who was consumed by a love of music after being hit by lightning. He suddenly began to crave listening to piano music， which he had never cared for in the past. He started to play the piano and then to compose music， which arose spontaneously in his mind in a torrent of notes. How could this happen？ Was I the cause psychological？ （He had had a near-death experience when the lightning struck him.） Or was it the direct result of a change in the auditory regions of his cerebral cortex？ Electro-encephalography （EEG） showed his brain waves to be normal in the mid-1990s， just after his trauma and subsequent conversion to music. There are now more sensitive tests， but Cicoria has declined to undergo them； he does not want to delve into the causes of his musicality. What a shame！
E. Part II， “A Range of Musicality，” covers a wider variety of topics，but unfortunately， some of the chapters offer little or nothing that is new. For example， chapter 13， which is five pages long， merely notes that the blind often have better hearing than the sighted. The most interesting chapters are those that present the strangest cases. Chapter 8 is about “ amusia， ” an inability to hear sounds as music， and “dysharmonia，”a highly specific impairment of the ability to hear harmony， with the ability to understand melody left intact. Such specific dissociations are found throughout the cases Sacks recounts.
F. To Sacks＇s credit， part III， ＂Memory， Movement and Music，＂ brings us into the underappreciated realm of music therapy. Chapter 16 explains how ＂melodic intonation therapy＂ is being used to help expressive aphasic patients （those unable to express their thoughts verbally following a stroke or other cerebral incident）>G. To readers who are unfamiliar with neuroscience and music behavior， Musicophilia may be something of a revelation. But the book will not satisfy those seeking the causes and implications of the phenomena Sacks describes. For>appears to be more at ease discussing patients than discussing experiments. And he tends to be rather uncritical in accepting scientific findings and theories.
H. It＇s true that the causes of music-brain oddities remain poorly understood. However， Sacks could have done more to draw out some of the implications of the careful observations that he and other neurologists have made and of the treatments that have been successful. For example， he might have noted that the many specific dissociations among components of music comprehension， such as loss of the ability to perceive harmony but not melody， indicate that there is no music center in the brain. Because many people who read the book are likely to believe in the brain localization of all mental functions， this was a missed educational opportunity.
I. Another conclusion>patient. Treatments mentioned seem to be almost exclusively antiepileptic medications， which ＂damp down＂ the excitability of the brain in general； their effectiveness varies widely.
J. Finally， in many of the cases described here the patient with music-brain symptoms is reported to have ＂normal＂ EEG results. Although Sacks recognizes the existence of new technologies， among them far more sensitive ways to *yze brain waves than the standard neurological EEG test， he does not call for their use. In fact， although he exhibits the greatest compassion for patients， he conveys no sense of urgency about the pursuit of new avenues in the diagnosis and treatment of music-brain disorders. This absence echoes the book＇s preface， in which Sacks expresses fear that the simple art of observation may be lost＂ if we rely too much on new technologies. He does call for both approaches， though， and we can only hope that the neurological community will respond.

二、雅思閱讀步驟
1.快速閱讀：平時(shí)進(jìn)行大量的快速閱讀?？蛇x的閱讀材料有：TIME, NEWSWEEK, THE ECONOMIST, CHINADAILY, 21st CENTURY等。因?yàn)檠潘伎荚嚺c時(shí)代緊密相連，具有一定的時(shí)效性，所以報(bào)刊文章為泛讀的首選。閱讀報(bào)刊文章應(yīng)選擇一般性的題材，如科普，社會(huì)問(wèn)題，學(xué)術(shù)觀點(diǎn)性的文章，而政治，軍事，尖端科技的文章可以略過(guò)。采取的閱讀方式為快速閱讀。
2.難句突破：在精讀和做雅思試題時(shí)，將復(fù)雜的難句摘抄出來(lái)，然后分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)，徹底消化難點(diǎn)。雖然雅思閱讀中不可能有原句重現(xiàn)，但是難句的結(jié)構(gòu)是基本不變的。
3.詞匯強(qiáng)記：詞匯量不夠，應(yīng)進(jìn)行詞匯突擊。雅思考試的詞匯量約為6000~8000詞。詞匯量小也是導(dǎo)致閱讀理解速度慢的重要因素。
4.模擬練習(xí)：接下來(lái)就要做雅思模擬試題，進(jìn)一步熟悉考試題型。熟練掌握閱讀題型。有兩點(diǎn)需要特別注意：首先，雅思閱讀的各種題型必須搞熟，尤其是主觀題如簡(jiǎn)答、填空、概括等。其次，要看清題目，因?yàn)檠潘奸喿x的問(wèn)法比較靈活，可以是對(duì)/錯(cuò)/未給出答案，所以先看清楚要你做什么，再下手不遲，切忌做“無(wú)用功”。
5、總結(jié)技巧：注意分析閱讀理解的套路，總結(jié)解題技巧。如果個(gè)人復(fù)習(xí)情況不佳，可以根據(jù)自己的實(shí)際情況選擇合適的輔導(dǎo)班。
三、雅思閱讀做題訣竅
1.Skimming and Scanning
雅思閱讀測(cè)試的一大特色是同義詞(synonyms)和釋義表達(dá)(paraphrasing)。因此，考生在做此類題目的過(guò)程中，要首先判斷哪個(gè)是關(guān)鍵詞(keywords)，以及它的同義詞，然后根據(jù)該詞迅速在文章中尋找，準(zhǔn)確定位(locatingtheexpectedinformation)，根據(jù)要求填空。
此外，雅思閱讀一般取材于報(bào)刊、雜志等，因此平時(shí)應(yīng)大量閱讀英文報(bào)刊，像《英國(guó)鏡報(bào)》、《衛(wèi)報(bào)》等，以了解英文報(bào)刊文章的表達(dá)習(xí)慣和常用表達(dá)式。
2.good reading habits
很多中國(guó)考生在平時(shí)訓(xùn)練閱讀時(shí)一遇到生詞就想查文曲星、字典之類的輔助工具?？荚囍校捎谘潘奸喿x考試的取材都來(lái)自原版報(bào)刊雜志，文章中必然出現(xiàn)不少考生沒(méi)有見(jiàn)過(guò)或者很少碰到的生詞，尤其是學(xué)術(shù)類閱讀第三篇文章的詞匯量往往很大，這時(shí)良好的閱讀習(xí)慣就成了我們能否獲取理想成績(jī)的關(guān)鍵。
細(xì)心總結(jié)一下就可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，在很多情況下，形容詞和副詞是最難以記憶的，也就是我們最感生疏的，但是它們一般不太會(huì)影響我們的句子理解能力。
