為了幫助大家備考雅思,下面學(xué)習(xí)啦為大家整理了雅思閱讀練習(xí)的捷徑與方法,供考生們參考,以下是詳細(xì)內(nèi)容。

雅思閱讀練習(xí)的捷徑與方法

對于考試,我們所要做的只是:

1.養(yǎng)精蓄銳:知識的積累,技能的練習(xí)

2.庖丁解牛:題目的熟悉,章法的練習(xí)

雅思雖然題型眾多。所考的無非是快速獲取主旨,搜索信息。所以考的還是比較全面,既有快速閱讀,又有精讀。

快速讀是需要練習(xí)的,需要注意節(jié)奏和章法。這里介紹兩種方法,一種是skimming,一種是cluster reading。

而快速讀的時(shí)候,一些狀語,從句,修飾詞都可以忽視掉。所以快速讀的時(shí)候,一篇1000字的文章只需讀10句左右就可以窺得文章全貌了。

精讀則需要對英文語法的理解,當(dāng)然還有單詞的記憶。

對語法來說,還是比較容易掌握的。知道了句子里的修飾詞,狀語,從句,就能夠抽取句子的主干。

單詞的記憶方法只能因人而異。因?yàn)檠潘伎纪x詞比較多,所以最好翻閱英英詞典,以英文記英文。另外注意單詞的結(jié)構(gòu)。

而猜單詞,則需要語感和觀察思考的能力。這一點(diǎn),也是非常重要的。

因此,準(zhǔn)備雅思,除了做題之外,養(yǎng)精蓄銳里比較重要的一點(diǎn)就是對英文的熟悉。所以,每天應(yīng)該接觸相當(dāng)字?jǐn)?shù)的英文文章。

至于做題,這里強(qiáng)調(diào)三步。

1.掃描文章:類似于攝像頭的掃描,掃進(jìn)內(nèi)存,全面快速細(xì)致。

2.搜索引擎:此處強(qiáng)調(diào)搜索詞的確定及內(nèi)存記憶。

3.連連看:此處強(qiáng)調(diào)前兩者的結(jié)合。

另外,做題時(shí)還要有取有舍,畢竟雅思的出題是有區(qū)分度的。老外也不是好蒙騙的。

雅思閱讀材料大集合:誰來解救烏克蘭

The Ukrainian crisis is quickly becoming a geostrategic conflict. The Crimean parliament's declaration of independence from Ukraine ahead of the March 16 referendum indicates Crimea may possibly join Russia. As Russian President Vladimir Putin maneuvers to restore Russia's right to behave with a superpower's impunity-particularly in its own backyard-the West pushes back.

But economic forces also have shaped this confrontation, especially Ukraine's record as the world's worst performing industrial economy over the last 20 years.

It was popular discontent with this disastrous performance that fomented the recent dissent. This, in turn, triggered a bloody response from ousted Crimean President Viktor Yanukovych. His response consolidated the opposition-and ultimately cost Yanukovych his job.

Beyond this week's political and military maneuvers, the outstanding question is: Who will bail out the Ukrainian economy? Russia, or the EU and the United States? A bailout will be the price of drawing Ukraine into one of the two trading systems on offer.

Stated simply, Ukraine is the economic equivalent of a failed state. After gaining independence in 1991, the country moved briefly to liberalize its economy along the same lines as most of Eastern and Central Europe.

However, Ukraine soon jettisoned its reforms in favor of the state-oligarch model, which was also evolving in Russia. Some 20 years later, Ukraine's GDP has shrunk 30 percent.

Even Russia's sorry economy is 20 percent larger than it was in 1991. And Poland's economy, which looked much like Ukraine's in 1991, has grown 130 percent over the same period.

Ukraine's economic performance has been so terrible and for so long that its sovereign debt issues are now considered the equivalent of junk bonds. Even before the crisis, Ukraine's credit rating was worse than Greece's. And it was no better than that of Argentina, a global financial pariah for its mismanaged debt defaults and summary expropriations of foreign-owned companies.

Ukraine's debts will soon be due, with some $15 billion in sovereign bonds maturing this year and another $15 billion in 2015. With a current account deficit equal to 8 percent of its GDP, Ukraine cannot pay off and refinance those debts without large-scale aid-$20 billion to $25 billion-and affiliating itself with a larger trading system.

An economic and trade alliance with Russia would deliver the bailout, but with little prospects of improving the underlying economy.

The European Union and the United States (through the International Monetary Fund) also are prepared to provide the bailout if the Ukrainian government accepts far-reaching economic reforms. The EU-US/IMF reforms should lead to better economic times down the road.

But they also would mean more short-term hardships for ordinary Ukrainians. That's why Yanukovych sided with Putin.

With a new, pro-Western government in charge in Kiev, Ukraine's fate may well lie in the hands of Europe and the United States. Their choice is simple to state, if difficult to execute: Do they put sufficient economic and diplomatic pressure on Putin, to convince him to pocket his own bailout-and let the West pick up the pieces?

烏克蘭危機(jī)正迅速成為一個(gè)地緣戰(zhàn)略沖突??死锩讈喢撾x烏克蘭的獨(dú)立宣言是要表明克里米亞真有可能入俄。俄羅斯總統(tǒng)弗拉基米爾·普京竭力恢復(fù)俄羅斯超級大國免責(zé)權(quán)——尤其在自家后院——西方國家則迎頭反擊。

烏克蘭的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況也引發(fā)了這一沖突,烏克蘭過去20年淪為世界上最落后的工業(yè)化國家。

正是民眾對經(jīng)濟(jì)糟糕狀況的不滿激起了最近這場抗議活動。反過來,這又引發(fā)時(shí)任總統(tǒng)維克多·亞努科維奇的殘酷鎮(zhèn)壓,反對派于是眾志成城最終把亞努科維奇趕下了臺。

除了經(jīng)濟(jì)軍事較量,最突出的問題是:誰將解救烏克蘭經(jīng)濟(jì)?俄羅斯、歐盟還是美國?解救烏克蘭的代價(jià)便是把烏克蘭帶入其中一個(gè)現(xiàn)有的貿(mào)易體系。

簡單地說,烏克蘭經(jīng)濟(jì)上等同于失敗的國家。1991年獨(dú)立后,該國迅速實(shí)行經(jīng)濟(jì)自由化,但很快放棄了改革,轉(zhuǎn)投國家寡頭政治模式,而當(dāng)時(shí)這也在俄羅斯盛行。大約20年后,烏克蘭GDP縮水30%。

即便糟糕的俄羅斯經(jīng)濟(jì)也比1991年增長了20%。與此同時(shí),1991年酷似烏克蘭狀況的波蘭經(jīng)濟(jì)同期增長130%。

如今,烏克蘭國債已被視為垃圾債券。即使在危機(jī)之前,烏克蘭信貸評級比希臘還要低,比阿根廷也好不到哪里去。阿根廷由于管理不當(dāng),拖欠債務(wù)并沒收外資企業(yè),淪為全球金融棄兒。

烏克蘭150多億美元國債將在今年到期,還有150億美元2015年到期。目前烏克蘭經(jīng)常賬戶赤字相當(dāng)于GDP的8%。如果沒有巨額援助-200億美元到250億美元-或不加入到一個(gè)更大的貿(mào)易體系中,烏克蘭不可能籌資償還債務(wù)。

成為俄羅斯的經(jīng)濟(jì)貿(mào)易盟友會保證得到救助,但經(jīng)濟(jì)根本改善的希望渺茫。

如果烏克蘭政府愿意接受廣泛深度的經(jīng)濟(jì)改革,歐盟和美國(通過國際貨幣基金組織)也愿意提供救助金。這應(yīng)該會帶來更好的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展。

但與西方聯(lián)合也意味著普通烏克蘭人會陷入更多的短期困境。這也是為什么亞努科維奇站在普京一邊。

隨著基輔親西方政府執(zhí)政,烏克蘭的命運(yùn)很有可能掌握在歐洲和美國的手中。他們的選擇簡單但難以實(shí)施:用足夠的經(jīng)濟(jì)外交壓力迫使普京收回自己的救助資金,而讓西方國家來收拾殘局?
