二、雅思閱讀難點
單詞難點
閱讀文章中涉及詞匯7000左右，但具備4000左右即可應考。單詞量不夠的考生，應在短期內迅速擴充認知詞匯，為看文章做題打下一個良好的基礎。有些考生脫離語境孤立地背單詞，這樣容易遺忘或混淆單詞的意義。記憶單詞，考生可以通過*單詞卡片，正面寫英文拼寫，背面寫中文釋義的方法來記憶。每天背一定量的生詞，并不斷補充，而且還可以打亂次序。當然，最有效的是在上下文，即文章當中記憶單詞，在文章中，每個單詞都是有語境的，在一定的語境下記單詞會更牢固，而且也知道如何用單詞。
長句難句
雅思閱讀考試中，有的題目考的是對于文章中某一句子的理解，若考生領會有偏差，就容易失分。另一方面，雅思閱讀文章中有許多長難句，考生對此不理解，導致考生對全篇文章的理解有誤，那么幾個小題的錯誤率將大大提高。生應對一些復合句，尤其是雙重否定句、比較句、指代句等有一定的了解。在遇到比較復雜的句子的時候，應靜下心來，從把握句子主干一一主謂結構著手來分析句子結構。一個再難的句子，將其除主干部分剔除，把握主干部分表意，那么理解文章就不成問題了。但是，如何把握長難句主干，確實需要考生練習的，考生可以從語法方面下手。
速度難點
雅思閱讀部分，時間到底有多緊迫，相信各位考生是有所體會的。提高閱讀速度是每一位考生必須要做的。但是，閱讀速度的改善不容易一蹴而就，需要大量的練習和長時間的努力?？忌荒芮笏俣刃那卸プ呤裁赐衢T邪道，最后成績反倒更低?？忌莆找恍╅喿x技巧，革除一些壞習慣，例如邊看文章邊讀出聲來、一次只看一個單詞、遇生詞就停下去查字典等，將有助于看文章時加快速度，快速閱讀最關鍵的是在掃描文章的時候把握段落的主旨，并做出標記，并且在看完文章后對文章的結構有大致的了解。
三、雅思閱讀考試時間安排及閱讀步驟
解題順序和時間分配
在雅思閱讀中，解題順序是很關鍵的一步，很多考生及其容易忽略這一點，導致很多考生在考場上時間分配不合理，耽誤了整個閱讀考試的進程，不少考生在考場上的第三篇文章基本都是連蒙帶猜做出來的，正確率非常之慘淡。所以，拿到一篇雅思閱讀文章后：
第一步：看文章標題
很多文章我們在看完文章標題以后就能夠結合常識對文章的內容進行合理預測。比如：let’s go bats 這篇文章，我們就能確定首先文章是在講蝙蝠這種動物。而關于蝙蝠大家都知道的特點就是在夜晚活動和狩獵，喜歡生活在陰暗潮濕環(huán)境，知識儲備好一點的學生可能還會聯(lián)想到聲波。所以，文章里自然講的東西也不會偏離太遠。其次，在文章里遇到的不認識的單詞，可以往這個話題上靠攏，比如：sonar ，radar（聲納和雷達），就是跟蝙蝠的聲波有關的概念。
第二步：看文章引言
雅思閱讀有一些文章是有引言的，引言一般和標題正文的字體都不一樣。
看引言能夠幫考生在最短時間內了解文章的大概內容，減少閱讀過程中的障礙。
第三步：看題目
很多考生在拿到閱讀文章后會習慣性地先粗略地看一遍文章或者文章段落的首末句，而這個時候一般收效甚微，因為會遇到單詞困境，所以，比較推薦是先去看題目，搞清楚題目里要考的內容，在閱讀過程中有意識地去尋找對應的答案，效率更高。
第四步：閱讀原文
在閱讀原文的過程中，重點放在容易定位的題目上，因為即使在看不太懂原文的情況下，考生還是可以根據題目的關鍵詞和定位規(guī)律快速定位。集中就聯(lián)系上下文，正序就從前到后，這種題目相對更容易。

對于雅思考生來說，劍橋雅思閱讀題難不難？下面就和小鐘老師一起來看看2023年劍橋雅思閱讀真題解析：Thomas Young。

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
題號定位詞文中對應點題目解析
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還有其他的競爭者，他們的傳記中也同樣擁有這樣的小標題，分別是Leonard Warren寫的關于Joseph Leidy的傳記，以及 Paula Findlen＇s寫的關于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歲的時候將自己的第一篇論文自薦給倫敦皇家學會，并在一年后成為該學會的會員： 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在于，Young并沒有像其他那些年少成名而后來江郎才盡的孩子一樣，他后來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的成長背景和經歷，同時體現出其涉獵范圍較為廣泛。其中第四句中提到Young決定學醫(yī)，并且在后面的介紹中指出Young還參加戲劇演出，學習跳舞和吹笛子： 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師。但是并未指出Young在哪個方面的造詣更高，更有天賦。Surpassing這個概念并沒有在文中體現。
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的很多觀點關注人民和國家事務。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Young的醫(yī)學演講中亂寫的希臘字母和拉丁短語以及將一位年輕女性寫在涼亭上的詩歌翻譯成希臘挽歌便能看出他的幽默。顯然，Young對于這樣的社交娛樂是感興趣的。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晚年在學術方面的成就；G段給出了Young的婚后生活，以及Robinson在書中并未提及Young與父母間的關系。但無論哪一個點都沒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”指傳記詞條，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會學會。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節(jié)機制
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)造了術語 Indo-European來描述在歐洲大部分地區(qū)以及北印度使用的語言。
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，正是因為 Richard Brocklesby的引導，Young才決定在醫(yī)學方面有所建樹。
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作為自然哲學的教授，受聘于英國科學研究所。
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作為自然哲學學者取得的成就。而第五句則列舉了Young的兩個成就，其對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我們該怎樣理解托馬斯·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（大部分都是關于科學家和古典學者），和大量關于“橋” “色彩論” “埃及” “語吉” “潮汐”等的論文。一個能夠寫出這樣多有權威性文章的人應該算是一個博學者？ 一個天才？還是一個業(yè)余興趣廣泛的人呢？在一篇關于他的比較激進的傳記中，Andrew Robinson 認為托馬斯楊是-位強有力的競爭者能夠配得這樣的墓志銘“是最后一個知道任何事的人”。但是楊也要面對競爭：因為這樣的傳記標題Robinson不僅給了他，也作為副標題給了有關另兩位學者的傳記：Lenard Warren 1998年著的《古生物學家Joseph Leipy的一生》（1823-1891）以及Paula Findlen 2023年著的關于另一位博學者Athanasius Kircher（1602-1680）的傳記。
B當然楊的貢獻遠不止寫了很多百科全書上的文章，他在20歲的時候將自己的第一篇論文自薦給倫敦皇家學會，并在他的21歲生日后被評為一周科學人物，楊在該篇論文中解釋了人類眼睛的調節(jié)機制一一關于眼睛如何通過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問題，類似牛頓，他在自己身上進行了可怕的實驗用以獲得相關的證據，他還得出這樣的理論：光是通過“以太”分子的振動，以波的形式進行傳遞的，而“以太”是一種假想物質，其存在還存在爭議性。他還認為為了能看見顏色，必須要有3個感應器對“三原色”進行感應，而這三種視網膜對其產生感應的顏色就是紅，黃，藍二種顏色。
C在他人生的晚些時候，也就是40多歲的時候，楊試圖破解鎖在羅塞塔石碑里的未知文字密碼，這個石碑是在1799年在埃及被拿破侖的軍隊發(fā)現的，并且從1802年起就在英國博物館進行展出。該石碑上包含了 3種不同的字母：希臘語，不可辨識的文字以及埃及的象形文字。這種不可辨識的文字現在被認為是正如楊所推斷的是很普通的，是和象形文字直接相關的。他最初有關這方面的工作首次出現在他在《大不列顛百科全書》中編纂的詞條。在另一個條目中，他創(chuàng)造了術語“Indo-European”來描述在歐洲大部分地區(qū)以及北印度使用的語言。這些都是這是這位從小就展露科學天賦并且不像很多孩子后來江郎才盡的科學家獲得的里程碑式的成就。
D托馬斯·楊出生在英國薩默塞特郡一個虔誠的教友會教徒家庭，從小和他的外公一起長大，最后去了寄宿學校。他兩歲的時候就博覽群書，并且自學熟練掌握了拉丁語，希臘語，數學以及哲學，在很大程度上他受到了舅舅Richard Brocklesby的鼓勵，他的舅舅也是英國皇家學會的一位內科醫(yī)生。在Brocklesby的引導下，楊決定要在醫(yī)學方而有所建樹，他曾先后在倫敦大學、愛丁堡大學和格丁根大學學習醫(yī)學，多虧了Brocklesby的引薦，楊進入了英國皇家學會，他最后也打破了從小在教友會的教育，他參加戲劇演出，學習跳舞和吹笛子，此外，他還是一位杰出的馬術師。在1808年結束在劍橋大學的醫(yī)學學習后，楊在倫敦開了一家診所，很快他就成為皇家內科醫(yī)生學會的一員，并且?guī)啄旰蟪蔀槭讨吾t(yī)院的一名內科醫(yī)生。
E楊作為內科醫(yī)生的醫(yī)術卻趕不上他作為自然哲學學者或是語言學家取得的成就，早在1801年，他已經被任命為英國皇家學會的教授，他每年要在那里舉辦60場的講座。這些講座在1807年以兩本書的形式進行出版。1804年楊就已經成為英國朵家學會的秘書，而他獲此殊榮直至去世。他的很多觀點關注人民和國家事務，比如說在倫敦引進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責人，也是Board of Longitude的秘書。從1824年到1829年，他擔任Palladian 保險公司的精算師和內科醫(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，論文無數。
F我們通過楊在醫(yī)學課上胡亂寫的希臘字母和拉丁文短語以及他將一位年輕的女士寫在避暑山莊墻上的詩句翻譯成挽歌可以看出他的幽默，但是他的個人生活也因為自己對工作和研究的全情投入而略顯蒼白。
G他在1804年和Eliza Maxwell結婚，據Robinson所述“他們的婚姻是幸福的，因為他的夫人欣賞他的工作”。我們對于他夫人的了解僅限于她在她丈夫備受一些關于眼睛的理論方面爭議的時候總是堅定地支持他，并且當他的醫(yī)學生涯開始慢慢起飛的時候，她開始有些擔心錢的問題。值得一提的是，楊沒有被保護的人，他都是和自己的導師進行互動一一先是他的外公，后是Brocklesby一一還有先于他過失的一些偉人（其中很多是很著名的如牛頓，楊最早在17歲讀了他寫的書）。但是關于楊和他母親以及父親的關系的記述卻鮮力人知，Robinson在說到楊的非凡的頭腦時也并沒有將其歸功于他的父母，或許很難有這樣的巧合：過去的天才都是由于卓越的父母教育造就的。

考試原文：
Mammoth Kill
Mammoth is any species of the extinct genus Mammuthus， proboscideans commonly equipped with long， curved tusks and in northern species， a covering of long hair. They lived from the Ptiocene epoch from around 5 million years ago， into the Hotocene at about 4，500 years ago， and were members of the family Elephantidae， which contains， along with mammoths， the two genera of modern elephants and their ancestors.
A Like their modern relatives， mammoths were quite large. The largest known species reached heights in the region of 4m at the shoulder and weights up t0 8 tonnes， while exceptionally large males may have exceeded 12 tonnes. However， most species of mammoth were only about as large as a modern Asian elephant. Both sexes bore tusks. A first， *all set appeared at about the age of six months and these were replaced at about 18 months by the permanent set. Growth of the permanent set was at a rate of about l t0 6 inches per year. Based on studies of their close relatives， the modem elephants， mammoths probably had a gestation period of 22 months， resulting in a single calf being born. Their social structure was probably the same as that of African and Asian elephants， with females living in herds headed by a matriarch， whilst hulls lived solitary lives or formed loose groups after sexual maturity.
B MEXICO CITY-Although it’s hard to imagine in this age of urban sprawl and automobiles， North America once belonged to mammoths， camels， ground sloths as large as cows， bear-size beavers and other formidable beasts. Some 11，000 years ago， however， these large bodied mammals and others-about 70 species in all-disappeared. Their demise coincided roughly with the arrival of humans in the New World and dramatic climatic change-factors that have inspired several theories about the die-off. Yet despite decades of scientific investigation， the exact cause remains a mystery. Now new findings offer support to one of these controversial hypotheses： that human hunting drove this megafaunal menagerie （ 巨型動物獸群）to extinction. The overkill model emerged in the 1960s， when it was put forth by Paul S. Martin of the University of Arizona. Since then， critics have charged that no evidence exists to support the idea that the first Americans hunted to the extent necessary to cause these extinctions. But at the annual meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology in Mexico City last October， paleoecologist John Alroy of the University of California at Santa Barbara argued that， in fact， hunting-driven extinction is not only plausible， it was unavoidable. He has determined， using a computer simulation that even a very modest amount of hunting would have wiped these animals out.
C Assuming an initial human population of 100 people that grew no more than 2 percent annually， Alroy determined that if each band of， say， 50 people killed 15 to 20 large mammals a year， humans could have eliminated the animal populations within 1，000 years. Large mammals in particular would have been vulnerable to the pressure because they have longer gestation periods than *aller mammals and their young require extended care.
D Not everyone agrees with Alroy’s asses*ent. For one， the results depend in part on population-size estimates for the extinct animals-figures that are not necessarily reliable. But a more specific critici* comes from mammalogist Ross D. E. MacPhee of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City， who points out that the relevant archaeological record contains barely a dozen examples of stone points embedded in mammoth bones （and none， it should be noted， are known from other megafaunal remains）-hardly what one might expect if hunting drove these animals to extinction. Furthermore， some of these species had huge rangesthe giant Jefferson’s ground sloth， for example， lived as far north as the Yukon and as far south as Mexicowhich would have made slaughtering them in numbers sufficient to cause their extinction rather implausible， he says.
E MacPhee agrees that humans most likely brought about these extinctions （as well as others around the world that coincided with human arrival）， but not directly. Rather he suggests that people may have introduced hyperlethal disease， perhaps through their dogs or hitchhiking vermin， which then spread wildly among the immunologically naive species of the New World. As in the overkill model， populations of large mammals would have a harder time recovering. Repeated outbreaks of a hyperdisease could thus quickly drive them to the point of no return. So far MacPhee does not have empirical evidence for the hyperdisease hypothesis， and it won’t be easy to come by： hyperlethal disease would kill far too quickly to leave its signature on the bones themselves. But he hopes that *yses of tissue and DNA from the last mammoths to perish will eventually reveal murderous microbes.
F The third explanation for what brought on this North American extinction does not involve human beings. Instead， its proponents blame the loss on the weather. The Pleistocene epoch witnessed considerable climatic instability， explains paleontologist Russell W. Graham of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. As a result， certain habitats disappeared， and species that had once formed communities split apart. For some animals， this change brought opportunity. For much of the megafauna， however， the increasingly homogeneous environment left them with shrinking geographical ranges-a death sentence for large animals， which need large ranges. Although these creatures managed to maintain viable populations through most of the Pleistocene， the final major fluctuation-the so-called Younger Dryas eventpushed them over the edge， Graham says. For his part， Alroy is convinced that human hunters demolished the titans of the Ice Age. The overkill model explains everything the disease and climate scenarios explain， he asserts， and makes accurate predictions about which species would eventually go extinct. “Personally， I’m a vegetarian，” he remarks， “and I find all of this kind of gross-but believable.”
