雅思阅读一直是我们中国考生的一个最为擅长的雅思考试环节,为了让这个环节能最大限度的为我们的雅思成绩加分,小编为大家带来了雅思阅读讲义之详解做题速度!
通过训练批判性思维从而实现快速雅思阅读雅思文章,以及准确做出题目是非常有效的方法。因为批判性思维(Critical Thinking) 是最根本的英文文章的写作技术之一,只有充分理解并且掌握批判性思维方式才能真正理解作者所要表达的意思。也只有掌握批判性思维才能真正又快又准的解决雅思阅读中的难题,对于CT 的训练是远比那些华而不实的技巧和没有任何实际意思的雅思阅读预测要务实而高效的多。
例 子1:比如Playing is a serious business. Children engrossed in a make-believe world, fox cubs play-fighting or kittens teaming a ball of string aren’t just having fun. Play may look like a carefree and exuberant way to pass the time before the hard work of adulthood comes along, but there’s much more to it than that. 每当你读到 are not just having fun ...., seems to ....应该很自然的想到后面的but , 并且与前面构成明显的对比。
例子二: 接下来带领大家一起来通过训练CT 来快速进行雅思阅读理解:The Truth about the Environment (Cam 5)
For many environmentalists, the world seems to be (出现seems to //looks like// maybe 都是为了后面的indeed//but //however 的转折来铺垫的) getting worse. (总分结构的写法,作者会延续这个中心句的思路一直写下去,来证明中心句;当然如果有转折的话,就需要把重点放到BUT 后面来进行。 )They have developed a hit-list of our main fears: that natural resources are running out; that the population is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat; that species are becoming extinct in vast numbers, and that the planet's air and water are becoming ever more polluted.( 后面的细节的细节的例子都是用来证明前面的内容的,所以只要不出现BUT的强转折,就需要在心里面有期待:anticipation, 就是后面的句子细节都是延续的,这样就会读的快起来!!)
But a quick look at the facts shows a different picture. (出现了第一个转折,是和第一段中的seems to be 这样的转折的前奏的铺垫) First, energy and other natural resources have become more abundant, not less so,(一个小的CT 来验证观点) since the book 'The Limits to Growth' was published in 1972 by a group of scientists. Second, more food is now produced per head of the world's population than at any time in history. Fewer people are starving. Third, although species are indeed becoming extinct, (Although也是CT的具体体现,又是一个批判性思维的句子)only about 0.7% of them are expected to disappear in the next 50 years, not 25-50%,(小的CT) as has so often been predicted. And finally, most forms of environmental pollution either appear to have been exggerated, or are transient - associated with the early phases of industrialisation and therefore best cured not by restricting economic growth,(又是一个CT,需要了解BUT后面的重点) but by accelerating it. One form of pollution - the release of greenhouse gases that causes global warming - does appear to be a phenomenon that is going to extend well into our future, (批判性思维的句型CT) but its total impact is unlikely to pose a devastating problem. A bigger problem may well turn out to be an inappropriate response to it.
