怎么快速背雅思閱讀單詞
一、背單詞對(duì)考雅思的重要性
首先考鴨們要明確,背單詞很重要。語言學(xué)家認(rèn)為,只要掌握了足夠的詞匯,即使沒有多少語法知識(shí),外語學(xué)習(xí)者也能較好理解外語和用外語進(jìn)行表達(dá)。有一句經(jīng)典名言:“沒有語法只能傳達(dá)很少的信息,沒有詞匯則什么也無法傳達(dá)?!毖芯勘砻鳎绻覀冋J(rèn)識(shí)25個(gè)單詞,平均每一頁上我們就認(rèn)識(shí)23%的單詞;如果我們認(rèn)識(shí)135個(gè)單詞,該百分比就達(dá)到50%;2500個(gè)單詞量相應(yīng)于78%;5000個(gè)單詞量相應(yīng)于86%;10000個(gè)單詞量相應(yīng)于92%。
換個(gè)角度來看,為什么有很多考鴨會(huì)來不及做雅思閱讀?單詞量不夠。如果你做雅思閱讀題,認(rèn)識(shí)5000個(gè)單詞,閱讀理解正確率為56%;認(rèn)識(shí)6400個(gè)單詞,該百分比為63%;認(rèn)識(shí)9000個(gè)單詞,該百分比大約是70%。同樣在寫作、口語、聽力等方面也大致如此。實(shí)踐證明,在雅思考試中,詞匯量較大的考生往往要比詞匯量小的考生取得更高的分?jǐn)?shù)。
二、掌握背誦雅思單詞的方法
1.制定合理的雅思單詞計(jì)劃
背單詞是一個(gè)非??菰锴曳敝氐娜蝿?wù),它需要大量的精力。如果不制定一個(gè)周密的計(jì)劃,很多考生將很難堅(jiān)持。所以這一步是非常有必要的。一般來說,考前一定將單詞手冊(cè)背誦3遍,第一遍仔細(xì)學(xué)習(xí),第二遍進(jìn)行鞏固,第三遍查漏補(bǔ)缺加深印象。這樣所起到的效果要比只背一遍好得多。
2. 雅思聽說讀寫單詞全面進(jìn)擊
啞巴式的背單詞法是千萬要不得的。很多考生記單詞的時(shí)候只是看,造成的結(jié)果往往是只記得外形,在閱讀里面能夠認(rèn)識(shí),但是在聽力里面根本聽不出來,寫作里面也拼不出來,口語里面更不可能說出來。這樣的詞匯量對(duì)于英語學(xué)習(xí)來說,只是“消極詞匯”。而最佳的背誦單詞的方法應(yīng)該是先把單詞看一遍,同時(shí)聽一下標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的錄音,然后嘴里再不停地跟讀,最后把這個(gè)單詞憑著自己的發(fā)音記錄下來。只有像這樣多感覺“齊頭并進(jìn)”,才能將單詞記憶得最深刻。 3.單詞背誦與使用同步
除了會(huì)被單詞,能夠熟練掌握并且運(yùn)用這些單詞更加重要。英語單詞歸根到底還是要放在語言中進(jìn)行使用的,如果只背單詞卻不把單詞放到語境中去理解,那么記單詞的效率就會(huì)大打折扣。因此考生在背誦單詞的時(shí)候一定要同時(shí)輔以大量的聽說讀寫練習(xí),在反復(fù)的使用中鞏固單詞的讀音、意義和用法。
劍橋雅思的真題就是進(jìn)行使用單詞的好材料。在做完聽力和閱讀的題目并進(jìn)行自己的分析之后,有時(shí)間的話最好將錄音進(jìn)行精聽,將閱讀文章進(jìn)行精讀,將學(xué)到的核心詞匯全部記在專用的筆記本上進(jìn)行反復(fù)背誦。寫作和口語練習(xí)的時(shí)候,可以多借鑒這些單詞。平時(shí)也要多聽BBC,VOA等英語原聲節(jié)目,多讀The Economist, National Geographic等原版雜志,多角度接觸,多方位記憶,鞏固所背的單詞,化“消極詞匯”為“積極詞匯”。
4.注意單詞之間的聯(lián)系
英語單詞量龐大,但是很多單詞卻有一定的內(nèi)部或外部聯(lián)系,比如,有些單詞有共同的詞根、詞綴,如inhabit, inhabitant, habitat 等。
有些單詞可以在一個(gè)場景之下同時(shí)出現(xiàn),如疾病的名稱:myopia, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease等。
學(xué)科的名稱:psychology,anthropology, archaeology等、還有很多單詞和詞組存在同義或近義關(guān)系,如cause,induce,breed,leadto,resultin,contributeto,giveriseto,beresponsiblefor 等都能表示“導(dǎo)致”的意思。還有很多單詞存在一定的程度上的關(guān)系,如smile微笑,grin露齒而笑,chuckle咯咯地笑,laugh大笑等。如果能在背單詞的時(shí)候掌握上述規(guī)律,將原本孤立的單詞串聯(lián)成網(wǎng)狀,那么就能起到事半功倍的效果。
很多考鴨在備考的時(shí)候非常急躁,背單詞的效率太低,沒幾天就會(huì)忘記,然后就灰心喪氣,甚至不再背單詞了。
三、如何迅速攻克雅思單詞
詞根詞綴背單詞:提高背單詞和學(xué)習(xí)英語的效率,我們就必須掌握非常多的偏旁部首,也就是所謂的“詞根詞綴”。這種方法就是要求理解英語單詞是按照類似漢字一樣有一定規(guī)律的合理的偏旁部首構(gòu)成,然后意由境升,在進(jìn)行場景理解,從而記憶效果非常好,并且也容易掌握它的用法。
例如:
五星級(jí)黃金詞匯——claim主張,聲稱,斷言,(根據(jù)權(quán)利)要求,索取,索賠,認(rèn)領(lǐng),申請(qǐng)
習(xí)慣用語:
have a claim on有對(duì)……要求權(quán)
have a claim to有對(duì)……要求權(quán)
have many claimson對(duì)……有許多要求
have no claim on沒有對(duì)……要求的權(quán)利;無資格得到
have no claim to沒有對(duì)……要求的權(quán)利;無資格得到
經(jīng)典例句:
1.claim a largeamount against him. 要求他賠償大量金額
2.Every citizenmay claim the protection of the law.每一公民均可要求法律的保護(hù)。
3.Does anyoneclaim this umbrella?有沒有人認(rèn)領(lǐng)這把傘?
4.He claimed thathe had done the work without help.他聲稱沒有得到幫助而完成了這項(xiàng)工作。
為什么它具有這么多的意思?是因?yàn)樗鳛樵~根的最本質(zhì)的意思就是:大喊大叫的意思。把它的詞根意思代入它的真正意思中去理解,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)主張,聲稱,斷言,(根據(jù)權(quán)利)要求,索取,索賠等這些意思就非常容易理解掌握了。
claim延伸出來的詞匯:
1.proclaim 正式宣布,宣告,公布,聲明
sam記法:(pro-表示在前面。在前面大喊大叫那就是正式宣布,宣告,公布)
2.exclaim 呼喊、驚叫
sam記法:(ex-往外。往外大喊大叫——那就是呼喊,驚叫)
3.reclaim 要求歸還,收回,開墾
sam記法:(re-往回。往回大喊大叫、把某物喊回——要求歸還)
通過詞根詞綴來背雅思單詞,根據(jù)場景造字,進(jìn)行合適的拆分理解,那我們相對(duì)記得就更快,更牢。
雅思閱讀文章來源是什么
我們都知道,雅思閱讀文章多從世界著名的網(wǎng)站雜志報(bào)刊中選取,但是了解具體是哪些網(wǎng)站嗎?下面就給大家分享一下,大家可以在休閑的時(shí)候多瀏覽一下上面的文章,對(duì)大家雅思閱讀備考非常有幫助。
一、 雅思閱讀A類的文章大部分選自國外人文類、經(jīng)濟(jì)類和科學(xué)類的知名報(bào)紙、雜志或各政府、組織的研究報(bào)告。例如:
1. New Scientist 這本雜志被用到的頻率最高,如劍四中的Lost for Words, Play is a Serious Business,劍五中的What’s So Funny?, Flawed Beauty: the Problem with Toughened Glass,和劍六中的多篇文章 Australia’s Sporting Success, Climate Change and the Inuit, Graying Population Stays in the Pink, Do Literate Women Make Better Mothers?
2. The Economist 列居其次,如劍五中的The Truth about the Environment, 劍六中的Delivering the Goods
3. 還有American Scientist和Scientific American這兩個(gè)主要的美國學(xué)術(shù)期刊,例如劍五的Disappearing Delta和劍六的The Search for Anti-aging Pills
4. 當(dāng)然還有National Geographic。但是值得注意的是,因?yàn)檫@是休閑雜志,所以只作為了G類的閱讀,如劍六中的Pterosaurs
除了以上提到的若干來源之外,雅思A類的閱讀文章還出自Nature, Discover, Time (Europe), Boston Global, History Today等其余期刊或雜志。至于是哪次考試的哪篇文章,由于敏感原因在這里就不在透露。
二、 G類的閱讀中前兩部分通常是實(shí)用性強(qiáng)的功能性短文,如菜單、產(chǎn)品說明、通知、住宿安排和廣告等,非常貼近西方的實(shí)際生活。
這就要求考生們爭取每天閱讀一定量的原版英文報(bào)刊、書籍,如time、reader’s digest等,尤其注意其中的各種各樣的廣告。并非要讀懂每一個(gè)字,或完全理解,只要能理解其中大至含義既可。
雅思閱讀模擬真題:How Universities to Improve Public Ones
How Private Universities Could Help to Improve Public Ones
A. There are many rich Germans. In 2003 private assets are estimated to have been worth ?5 trillion (.6 trillion), half of which belongs to the richest tenth of the population. But with money comes stinginess, especially when it comes to giving to higher education. America devotes twice as much of its income to universities and colleges as Germany (2.6% of GDP, against 1.1%) mainly because of higher private spending—and bigger donations.
B. Next year's figures should be less embarrassing. In November Klaus Jacobs, a German-born billionaire living abroad, announced that he would donate ?200m to the International University Bremen ( IUB )—the biggest such gift ever. It saved the IUB , Germany's only fully fledged private and international university (with 30 programmes and 1,000 students from 86 countries) from bankruptcy. It may also soften the country's still rigid approach to higher education.
C. German higher education has long been almost entirely a state-run affair, not least because universities were meant to produce top civil servants. After 1945 the German states were put in charge, deciding on such details as examination and admission rules. Reforms in the 1970s made things worse by strengthening, in the name of democracy, a layer of bureaucracy in the form of committees of self-governance.
D. Tuition fees were scrapped in the name of access for all. But ever-rising student numbers then met ever-shrinking budgets, so the reforms backfired. Today the number of college drop-outs is among the highest in the rich world, making tertiary education an elite activity: only 22% of young Germans obtain a degree, compared with 31% in Britain and 39% in America. German universities come low in world rankings, so good students often go abroad.
E. In the 1980s it was hoped that private universities might make a difference. Witten-Herdecke University, founded in 1980, was the first. Teaching at IUB, which will change its name to Jacobs University soon, began in 2001. Today, there are 69 (non-faith-based) private institutions of higher learning, up from 24 a decade ago. There is growing competition, particularly among business schools.
F. At the same time the states have been introducing private enterprise into higher education. In 2003 Lower Saxony turned five universities into foundations, with more autonomy. Others have won more control over their own budgets. Some states have also started to charge tuition fees. And in October a jury announced the winners of the first round of the “excellence initiative”—a national competition among universities for extra cash.
G. Yet all this has led to only small improvements. Private universities educate only 3% of Germany's 2m-odd students, which may be why they find it hard to raise money. It also explains why many focus on lucrative subjects, such as the Bucerius Law School in Hamburg. Others have come to depend on public money. Only recently have rich individuals' foundations made big investments, as at IUB or at the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin.
H. Public universities, meanwhile, still have not been granted much autonomy. There is less direct control, but far more “administered competition”: a new bureaucracy to check the achievement of certain goals. This might all be avoided through price competition, but tuition fees, now ?1,000 a year on average, are fixed centrally by each state. The excellence initiative is a mere drop in the bucket.
I. That is why Mr. Jacobs's donation matters. For the first time, Germany will have a private university worth the name and with a solid financial footing (if it keeps up its academic performance, that is: Mr Jacobs has promised to donate ?15m annually over the next five years and another ?125m in 2011 to boost the endowment, but only if things go well)。 If it works, other rich Germans may be tempted into investing in higher education too.
J. Even so, private universities will play a small part in German higher education for the foreseeable future. This does not mean that public universities should be privatised. But they need more autonomy and an incentive to compete with one another—whether for students, staff or donors. With luck, Mr Jacobs's gift will not only induce other German billionaires to follow suit, but also help to persuade the states to set their universities free.
