雅思(IELTS)阅读练习题一：单调综合症

阅读段落

By the mid-1960s, the situation took an alarming turn with the outbreak of four more new pests, necessitating pesticide spraying to such an extent that 50% of the financial outlay on cotton production was accounted for by pesticides. In the early 1970s, the spraying frequently reached 70 times a season as the farmers were pushed to the wall by the invasion of genetically stronger insect species.

In the early 1970s, the spraying frequently reached 70 times a season as the farmers were pushed to the wall by the invasion of genetically stronger insect species.

雅思(IELTS)阅读练习题二：日本的传统教学方式

阅读段落

Traditional ways of teaching form the basis of the lesson and the remarkably quiet classes take their own notes of the points made and the examples demonstrated. Everyone has their own copy of the textbook supplied by the central education authority, Monbusho, as part of the concept of free compulsory education up to the age of 15. These textbooks are, on the whole, small, presumably inexpensive to produce, but well set out and logically developed. (One teacher was particularly keen to introduce colour and pictures into maths textbooks: he felt this would make them more accessible to pupils brought up in a cartoon culture.) Besides approving textbooks, Monbusho also decides the highly centralized national curriculum and how it is to be delivered.

雅思(IELTS)阅读练习题一：生物体衰老死亡原因

阅读段落

Thus ageing and death should not be seen as inevitable, particularly as the organism possesses many mechanisms for repair. It is not, in principle, necessary for a biological system to age and die. Nevertheless, a restricted life span ageing, and then death are basic characteristics of life. The reason for this is easy to recognise: in nature, the existent organisms either adapt or are regularly replaced by new types. Because of changes in the genetic material (mutations) these have new characteristics and in the course of their individual lives they are tested for optimal or better adaptation to the environmental conditions. Immortality would disturb this system―it needs room for new and better life. This is the basic problem of evolution.

段落大意

雅思(IELTS)阅读练习题二：生物寿命的差异

阅读段落

Every organism has a life span which is highly characteristic. There are striking differences in life span between different species, but within one species the parameter is relatively constant. For example, the average duration of human life has hardly changed in thousands of years. Although more and more people attain an advanced age as a result of developments in medical care and better nutrition, the characteristic upper limit for most remains 80 years. A further argument against the simple wear and tear theory is the observation that the time within which organisms age lies between a few days (even a few hours for unicellular organisms) and several thousand years, as with mammoth trees.

段落大意

本段介绍了不同生物之间寿命的差异，以及同类生物寿命长度的相对稳定性。

PLAY IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS

Does play help develop bigger, better brains?

Bryant Furlow investigates

Playing is a serious business. Children engrossed in a make-believe world, fox cubs play-fighting or kittens teasing 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. For a start, play can even cost animals their lives. Eighty per cent of deaths among juvenile fur seals occur because playing pups fail to spot predators approaching. It is also extremely expensive in terms of energy. Playful young animals use around two or three per cent of their energy cavorting, and in children that figure can be closer to fifteen per cent. 'Even two or three per cent is huge,' says John Byers of Idaho University. 'You just don't find animals wasting energy like that,' he adds. There must be a reason.

But if play is not simply a developmental hiccup, as biologists once thought, why did it evolve? The latest idea suggests that play has evolved to build big brains. In other words, playing makes you intelligent. Playfulness, it seems, is common only among mammals, although a few of the larger-brained birds also indulge. Animals at play often use unique signs―tail-wagging in dogs, for example―to indicate that activity superficially resembling adult behaviour is not really in earnest. A popular explanation of play has been that it helps juveniles develop the skills they will need to hunt, mate and socialise as adults. Another has been that it allows young animals to get in shape for adult life by improving their respiratory endurance. Both these ideas have been questioned in recent years.

Take the exercise theory. If play evolved to build muscle or as a kind of endurance training, then you would expect to see permanent benefits. But Byers points out that the benefits of increased exercise disappear rapidly after training stops, so any improvement in endurance resulting from juvenile play would be lost by adulthood. ‘If the function of play was to get into shape,’ says Byers, 'the optimum time for playing would depend on when it was most advantageous for the young of a particular species to do so. But it doesn't work like that.' Across species, play tends to peak about halfway through the suckling stage and then decline.

Then there's the skills-training hypothesis. At first glance, playing animals do appear to be practising the complex manoeuvres they will need in adulthood. But a closer inspection reveals this interpretation as too simplistic. In one study, behavioural ecologist Tim Caro, from the University of California, looked at the predatory play of kittens and their predatory behaviour when they reached adulthood. He found that the way the cats played had no significant effect on their hunting prowess in later life.

Earlier this year, Sergio Pellis of Lethbridge University, Canada, reported that there is a strong positive link between brain size and playfulness among mammals in general. Comparing measurements for fifteen orders of mammal, he and his team found larger brains (for a given body size) are linked to greater playfulness. The converse was also found to be true. Robert Barton of Durham University believes that, because large brains are more sensitive to developmental stimuli than smaller brains, they require more play to help mould them for adulthood. 'I concluded it's to do with learning, and with the importance of environmental data to the brain during development,' he says.

According to Byers, the timing of the playful stage in young animals provides an important clue to what's going on. If you plot the amount of time a juvenile devotes to play each day over the course of its development, you discover a pattern typically associated with a 'sensitive period'―a brief development window during which the brain can actually be modified in ways that are not possible earlier or later in life. Think of the relative ease with which young children―but not infants or adults―absorb language. Other researchers have found that play in cats, rats and mice is at its most intense just as this 'window of opportunity' reaches its peak.

'People have not paid enough attention to the amount of the brain activated by play,' says Marc Bekoff from Colorado University. Bekoff studied coyote pups at play and found that the kind of behaviour involved was markedly more variable and unpredictable than that of adults. Such behaviour activates many different parts of the brain, he reasons. Bekoff likens it to a behavioural kaleidoscope, with animals at play jumping rapidly between activities. 'They use behaviour from a lot of different contexts―predation, aggression, reproduction,' he says. 'Their developing brain is getting all sorts of stimulation.'

Not only is more of the brain involved in play than was suspected, but it also seems to activate higher cognitive processes. 'There's enormous cognitive involvement in play,' says Bekoff. He points out that play often involves complex assessments of playmates, ideas of reciprocity and the use of specialised signals and rules. He believes that play creates a brain that has greater behavioural flexibility and improved potential for learning later in life. The idea is backed up by the work of Stephen Siviy of Gettysburg College. Siviy studied how bouts of play affected the brain's levels of a particular chemical associated with the stimulation and growth of nerve cells. He was surprised by the extent of the activation. 'Play just lights everything up,' he says. By allowing link-ups between brain areas that might not normally communicate with each other, play may enhance creativity.

What might further experimentation suggest about the way children are raised in many societies today? We already know that rat pups denied the chance to play grow smaller brain components and fail to develop the ability to apply social rules when they interact with their peers. With schooling beginning earlier and becoming increasingly exam-orientated, play is likely to get even less of a look-in. Who knows what the result of that will be?

篇4：雅思(IELTS)阅读答题步骤解析

辨别正误题型(True / false /not given)

该题型还涉及到：(not given / not mentioned)没有提到，有时还会出现下列提法accurate / inaccurat 精确/不精确;supported / contradicted 一致/不一致。 correct / incorrect 正确与不正确。辨别正误题型属于难度较大的题型。通常在阅读测试中的第三或第四部分出现。

在规定的时间内如不能完成某一组题，留出一分钟，用逻辑方法猜测答案做答。这一方法在回答辨别正误(True; false; not given)题型时很有效。逻辑猜题在IELTS测试中是答题的一个很关键的方法。事实上由于时间的限制，很多题是通过此方法求出的。

辨别正误题答题步骤：

1. 详细阅读并理解答题指引部分，确定答题方式。

2. 确切理解问句的含义，严格按照文章本身意思理解和推断，不要想当然。

3. 找出问句中的关键词语。

4. 利用关键词语在文章中确定答案位置。

5. 仔细查看文章中关键词语所在句子中的含义。必要时应查看关键词语所在句子前后句子的含义。认真区分false和not given，false与原文相反、相冲突;not give则不相冲突，但未提及。

6.可利用语法、词法判断答案所在相关句子的肯定与否定含义。

完成图表、示意图题型(table、chart or diagram completion)

这部分题型是要根据文章所给出的信息，将图表内缺失的内容(或数据)填补出来。在IELTS阅读测试中，有很多种图表及示意图。这些图表中虽然词/语不多，但却能够明确说明问题的答案。通常这些图表会附在所给阅读文章之内，作为文章的一部分。切记不可忽略这些图表。图表填空的关键在于分析图表中已存在的文字信息点所在，然后根据已给出的信息点寻找对应的信息。

完成图表、示意图题答题步骤：

1. 详细查看答题指引，以确定图表为何种信息。

2. 查看例句，了解图表内容及答题方式。

3. 查看图表题目栏中词语及数字符号。

4. 查看图表中的说明及注释部分。

5. 利用问句中的关键词语，在所给图表中寻找答案。

摘要(summary)、填空题型 (gapfill)

填空题通常有两种形式：一种是根据文章内容选择词或短语填空，一般是为阅读文章的缩写内容进行填空;另一种则无参考文章，只是一篇短文。第一种题型相对第二种题型较难，所花费时间较多，因为要将两篇文章进行语句、词语的比较。不过这种缩写形式对于理解所给阅读文章有所帮助。第二种形式是利用所给单词或短语进行填空。上述两种形式填空题都需要借助语法、词法知识，分析所需填空文章中相关句子的含义。

如果在填空题中所需填空的词为名词，还要确定其单数或复数形式。如果是动词，还要查看其动词的主语。如该主语为单数形式，应确定其动词是否为现在时第三人称单数形式。要确定填空所需单词在句中的作用，是肯定还是否定的。连接词通常会决定词意的性质。例如：“however”、“but”、“on the other hand”它们会改变句子的性质;而“also”、“and”、“to”、“as well as”则仍保持句子的性质不变。

有时所需填空单词会在填空文章的后面出现，这一点值得注意。要特别注意填空题中的代词，每个代词都会表明它所代表的名词或名词短语。因此一定要找出填空后面的代词，以确定它所代表的名词，这在回答填空题时有很大帮助。

摘要、填空题答题步骤：

1. 首先阅读答题指引部分，确定填空文章是所给阅读文章的全篇还是部分的缩写，而且还要了解所给单词是否可以多次使用。

2. 利用例句确定答案在文章中的位置，如能在一组题内先查看例句及最后一个问题，并确定例句的关键词语与最后一个问题的关键词语在文章中的位置，即可确定其它各题的答案一定是处在它们之间的段落内，从而缩小了搜索答案的范围，而不必通篇阅读。

3. 快速扫描填空文章了解其大致含义。

4. 判别所给单词表中单词的词性。如果为短语，还须确定其相应的词性功能，通过判别词性可以缩小选词目标，从而缩短答题时间。

5. 查看填空前后的词语及该填空所在句子，并理解其含义。

6. 将单词表中选出的目标词语与所要填空的前后单词进行相互联系比较，利用语法及词法知识确定其准确性。

7. 如果属于第一种题型，还可以利用关键词语与所给阅读文章的相关句子进行匹配。

8. 填空所需词性如果为名词，而单词表中并无名词，仅有形容词，就必须将该形容词转换成名词形式进行填空，但这种情况并不多见。

篇5：雅思(IELTS)阅读答题步骤解析

完成句子题型 (sentence completion tasks)

完成句子题型就是先给出句子的一部分，未给出部分在文章中找出，或者给出2-3个答案，由你选择一个。这种题型较难，要花一点时间仔细查看文章中的有关部分。

完成句子题答题步骤：

1. 详细阅读答题指引，获取必要的答题信息。

2. 参考例句，确定答题形式。

3. 利用语法知识确定句子缺失部分。

4. 仔细查看所给句子的含义，并找出关键词语。

5 利用所给部分的关键词语在文章中找出相关句子。

6. 在文章中的相关句子里，选取缺失部分(即答案)。

如果完成句子题型是以多重选择的形式出现，那么则要将选择答案部分列为问句的一部分，从中选取所需的关键词语，逐个与文章中相关句子进行匹配。

回答问题(short-answer question tasks)

回答问题是根据所给文章或图表回答问题。在IELTS阅读测试中通常是用下列单词提问：. what、which、when、where、who、whose、whom、why、how 等。除了利用上述单词进行提问外，有时会在答题指引中将所提问题列出。

回答问题答题步骤：

1. 仔细查看答题指引，了解回答何种问题。

2. 查看例句，确定答题方式。

3. 要确定问句的种类，一般疑问句可按正常形式回答(例如：yes/no)，如果是选择疑问句或者是以wh/how开头的问句就一定要具体回答

4. 仔细理解问句所提问题。

5. 特别要注意问句中所提问题的关键词语(例如：单数、复数)，以及问句中表明数量、时间、地点的词语。

6. 将问句中的关键词语与文章中相关句子中的词语进行匹配。

7. 确定问句与文章中相关句子含义是否一致，得出答案。

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE IN AUSTRALIA

The first students to study alternative medicine at university level in Australia began their four-year, full-time course at the University of Technology, Sydney, in early 1994. Their course covered, among other therapies, acupuncture. The theory they learnt is based on the traditional Chinese explanation of this ancient healing art: that it can regulate the flow of 'Qi' or energy through pathways in the body. This course reflects how far some alternative therapies have come in their struggle for acceptance by the medical establishment.

Australia has been unusual in the Western world in having a very conservative attitude to natural or alternative therapies, according to Dr Paul Laver, a lecturer in Public Health at the University of Sydney. 'We've had a tradition of doctors being fairly powerful and I guess they are pretty loath to allow any pretenders to their position to come into it.' In many other industrialised countries, orthodox and alternative medicine have worked 'hand in glove' for years. In Europe, only orthodox doctors can prescribe herbal medicine. In Germany, plant remedies account for 10% of the national turnover of pharmaceuticals. Americans made more visits to alternative therapists than to orthodox doctors in 1990, and each year they spend about $US 12 billion on therapies that have not been scientifically tested.

Disenchantment with orthodox medicine has seen the popularity of alternative therapies in Australia climb steadily during the past 20 years. In a 1983 national health survey, 1.9% of people said they had contacted a chiropractor, naturopath, osteopath, acupuncturist or herbalist in the two weeks prior to the survey. By 1990, this figure had risen to 2.6% of the population. The 550,000 consultations with alternative therapists reported in the 1990 survey represented about an eighth of the total number of consultations with medically qualified personnel covered by the survey, according to Dr Laver and colleagues writing in the Australian Journal of Public Health in 1993. 'A better educated and less accepting public has become disillusioned with the experts in general, and increasingly sceptical about science and empirically based knowledge,' they said. 'The high standing of professionals, including doctors, has been eroded as a consequence.'

Rather than resisting or criticising this trend, increasing numbers of Australian doctors, particularly younger ones, are forming group practices with alternative therapists or taking courses themselves, particularly in acupuncture and herbalism. Part of the incentive was financial, Dr Laver said. 'The bottom line is that most general practitioners are business people. If they see potential clientele going elsewhere, they might want to be able to offer a similar service.'

In 1993, Dr Laver and his colleagues published a survey of 289 Sydney people who attended eight alternative therapists' practices in Sydney. These practices offered a wide range of alternative therapies from 25 therapists. Those surveyed had experienced chronic illnesses, for which orthodox medicine had been able to provide little relief. They commented that they liked the holistic approach of their alternative therapists and the friendly, concerned and detailed attention they had received. The cold, impersonal manner of orthodox doctors featured in the survey. An increasing exodus from their clinics, coupled with this and a number of other relevant surveys carried out in Australia, all pointing to orthodox doctors' inadequacies, have led mainstream doctors themselves to begin to admit they could learn from the personal style of alternative therapists. Dr Patrick Store, President of the Royal College of General Practitioners, concurs that orthodox doctors could learn a lot about bedside manner and advising patients on preventative health from alternative therapists.

According to the Australian Journal of Public Health, 18% of patients visiting alternative therapists do so because they suffer from musculoskeletal complaints; 12% suffer from digestive problems, which is only 1% more than those suffering from emotional problems. Those suffering from respiratory complaints represent 7% of their patients, and candida sufferers represent an equal percentage. Headache sufferers and those complaining of general ill health represent 6% and 5% of patients respectively, and a further 4% see therapists for general health maintenance.

The survey suggested that complementary medicine is probably a better term than alternative medicine. Alternative medicine appears to be an adjunct, sought in times of disenchantment when conventional medicine seems not to offer the answer.
