很多烤鸭都在苦恼雅思阅读又长又难，如何快速的找到重要信息成为制胜的法典。重要信息就犹如文章中的金子，今天就为大家介绍一种“淘金法”。简单的说‘淘金法’就是能够迅速提炼出句子的核心内容。具体方法就是以句子为单位，(注意不是以行为单位，更不是逐词)快速定位住该句中的动词，如果是系词，看其后面的表语。经过简单的训练，0.5秒内就可以完成。后面会提及快速定位动词的方法。将找到的动词或者表语的意思在大脑中形成形象。同时眼睛从较短的部分开始(主语较短就从主语部分下手，宾语短就先看宾语部分)看的时候不能使用传统的逐字阅读法，因为那样会极大的影响速度和理解。此时应该使用目光平铺或者照相机拍照法，就是双眼目光平铺在5,6个单词上，停半秒或更短时间，然后不断向后推进，大脑对看到的词形进行整体意思辨析。这样做是因为我们的大脑对图形、词形的处理速度远远高于眼睛逐词看文章的速度。这里要特别提到必须克服默读法。默读法是把单词转化为发音，大脑根据发音挨个单词辨析。毫无疑问这种做法会极大的浪费大脑资源。

如何快速定位动词?
句子中的核心动词一般有比较明显的特征：第三人称单数结尾有s，一般过去时以ed结尾，完成时为have/had ved, 情态动词后，助动词后，不定式后，名词和名词之间，以ate等动词后缀结尾。如果一个大句子中含有两个动词或更多动词，该句的谓语动词为最后一个动词，而前面的动词往往是定语从句的分动词。
下面来练习一下吧，看看自己多长时间能找出文章中的主要动词。
Optimists have something else to be cheerful about-in general, they are more robust. For example, a study of 660 volunteers by the Yale University psychologist Dr Becca Levy, found that thinking positively adds an average of 7 years to your life. Other American research claims to have identified a physical mechanism behind this. A Harvard Medical School study of 670 men found that the optimists have significantly better lung function. The lead author, Dr Rosalind Wright, believes that attitude somehow strengthens the immune system. "Preliminary studies on heart patients suggest that, by changing a person's outlook, you can improve their mortality risk," she says.
你用了多长时间?下面我们按照上面提到的方法，再来做一次动词定位。
Optimists have something else to be cheerful about-in general, they are more robust. | For example, a study of 660 volunteers by the Yale University psychologist Dr Becca Levy ,found that thinking positively adds an average of 7 years to your life.| Other American research claims to have identified a physical mechanism behind this.| A Harvard Medical School study of 670 men found that the optimists have significantly better lung function.| The lead author, Dr Rosalind Wright, believes that attitude somehow strengthens the immune system.| "Preliminary studies on heart patients suggest that ,by changing a person's outlook, you can improve their mortality risk, "she says.
做上面的段落练习要注意三点：1.先看要读句子到哪儿结束2.动词如果是系词，看后面的表语。3.宾语从句前的动词只起介绍作用，无关紧要，阅读时可忽略。比如Dr Rosalind Wright, believes that attitude somehow strengthens the immune system. 相信的内容后面是一个宾语从句，这里的believe和文章主要内容无关，可忽视，重点看后面的宾语从句。
经过上面文章的练习，你的速度提高了多少?相信经过“淘金式”阅读法的训练，各位烤鸭很快就能够淘得雅思阅读的金子啦!
