篇1：雅思阅读速度慢怎么办
雅思阅读速度慢?是种病得早治
01为什么雅思阅读速度慢是一种病?
慢点读有的时候是必要的，也是重要的，但有的时候(在雅思考试中)就会导致一些问题，比如：
● 做不完
● 因为时间快到了让你产生焦虑的情绪
● 在没有答案的段落上浪费太多时间
●备考花在阅读上的时间太多，一天细细的读一套文章就头昏脑胀，导致其他科目没有时间准备
很多人读的慢的原因不是读不快，而是因为一种习惯和方法。当你习惯了一个字一个字去读，希望弄懂每个单词，每个句子的意思，看不懂的句子(长难句)会反复读 2-3 遍，甚至去想句子背后的深意或是太过于注意细节。
甚至有位兄弟跟我说做题前不读完全文会不舒服。
其实快速的雅思阅读，对我们的帮助到底有多大呢?
就像自行车可以从龟速到骑得像闪电一样快，做饭可以从很拖拉到很麻利，雅思阅读速度也是可以训练和提升的。当你“一目十行”的时候你会发现：你能很简单速度也很快的了解整段以及整篇文章的大意，这会帮助你更快的定位正确答案， 你有更多的时间去思考答题，而且也有时间检查答案了。
当然一味地快读也是不对的!
保持较高的阅读速度是雅思阅读考试的要求，但同时考试技巧也是非常重要的。有的时候我们要读很快，有的时候需要停下脚步来找答案。所以我们需要知道什么时候需要快，什么时候需要慢。通常来说，如果我们要了解一整段的大意，我们会使用略读.(skimming)，当我们在找寻特定的信息(人名，地名，时间日期等)我们会使用扫读(scanning)这两种快速阅读方法。但当我们发现答案的大概位置时，我们需要精读(close reading)，仔细对比题干与原文，发现正确答案。
什么时候用closereanding呢?即，当我们发现答案的大概位置时，仔细对比题干与原文时，咱们才精读。
所以雅思阅读精读不是指你一个字一个字的去读，碰到生词就卡壳，停下来，查个单词，然后继续读/或者不查单词，但反复阅读上下文希望能搞清楚这个单词的意思，又或者是努力的分析长难句想搞清楚每一个从句的意思，这种阅读方法，不叫精读，也不适用于雅思阅读考试。
千万不要为了快而快，为了慢而慢，你之所以快，之所以慢是由题目类型决定的。比如，如果你只是需要找出一整段的中心句或大意，你就应该快速的读这一段的第一句，第二句和最后一句，迅速定位核心主旨句。如果你在找填空题的某一个词或词组，那你就必须在找到信号词或关键词以后，逐字阅读，找到最适合的那个词。
02怎样做到简便的快速阅读?
解决这个问题的办法就是把单子看做一个整体，一段段(而不是一个字一个字)的读，咱们来看一个例子：
Did you know that / your brain does not process/ words individually? Instead it processes them / in groups of 3-5 words together. / These are sometimes called ‘chunks’. / Unfortunately, many of us are /taught at school to read / each word individually /. Also, when reading in/ another language we often / read and think about /the meaning of words individually.
来，试读上面的这段话，不要一个字一个字的读，按照我给的破折号隔开的这么读。刚开始读的时候有点不习惯吧?慢慢来，你会发现你的阅读速度不断加快了。(这是因为你的阅读速度跟上了你的大脑处理速度-一次 3-5 个单词)希望你每天用这种方法来刷几篇真题文章，遇到不懂的单词可以直接跳过，不要让眼睛停留在某一个单词上，然后数一数 5 分钟你大概读了多少内容。
就这样持之以恒的练习，雅思阅读速度会有明显的提高。因为你的眼睛一直盯住的都是词组或短语，所以这样练习还有一个好处，就是提升你的语法和词汇，所以它是一种全方位的能力提升。的确需要花点时间，但这很值得。
03雅思阅读速度提升的小建议
你没有必要为了每一个问题读整篇文章，你只需要找到你需要读的信息。
碰到不认识的单词不要急，你可以通过上下文去猜它的意思，如果猜不出来，就跳过去。一篇雅思阅读文章连 native speaker 都不敢保证每个词都认识就更不要说你了。
如果算平均时间的话，大概是 90 秒一道题，但有的题难一些，有的题简单一些，没有必要练习的时候卡每一题的时间
我的确建议大家难题多花点时间，但也不是无限时间。有些题就是给冲8分9分的同学设置的，不一定每个人都能做出来。也许你最终做出来，但跟所耗费的时间来比太不值。
一般情况下，简单的题在前面，难题一般是在后面
有些同学有个习惯，就是喜欢默念或者小声读文章，我建议你不要再这么干了，这会严重拖累你的阅读速度。
如果你习惯性的重读句子(就是读一遍以后没弄懂又回头再重读)我建议你手里拿张纸，遮挡住已经读过的内容，这样坚持一段时间，这个坏毛病会改掉。
最后，一定要要先读题，后看文章，这样读起来更有目的性。不然读完整篇再看题，还要看第二遍文章，极大的浪费了宝贵的时间。
雅思阅读素材积累：Why so few university slots?
GETTING into college in America has gotten considerably more difficult over time. Zubin Jelvah writes:
Thanks to the positive effects of higher education on pay, the competition for entrance into the top colleges has increased sharply over the past three decades--particularly in the Northeast and California. But over the same period, the number of slots available at these schools has stayed largely unchanged, leading to a situation where demand far outstrips supply.
He says that this has led students to go to ever greater lengths to develop a competitive advantage in applying for university admission—taking advanced placement courses and test preparatory courses, and investing heavily in extracurricular activities. But that's a positive, right? Competition is forcing students to learn more and be more involved in the community.
To a certain extent, yes, but new research suggests that intense admissions competition also brings with it serious costs. Mr Jelvah cites a paper by John Bound and Brad Hershbein and says:
The researchers argue that instead of better preparing high school students for the rigors of higher ed, increased competition may actually be counterproductive. They find that increased competition is negatively correlated with college enrollment and earnings at age 25 for students in a subset of highly competitive states.
The authors themselves note:
In conjunction with the psychological and informational costs associated with competitive pressure ... these results should raise doubts that the increased competition for college admission has had a net positive effect on what and how students learn.
From an economic standpoint, it also seems probable that stagnant supply coupled with rising demand should generate a predictable price response. And sure enough:
That chart is from Niraj Choksi at the Atlantic. Now Claudia Goldin and Lawrence Katz have argued convincingly that recent growth in income inequality can be attributed to a relative decline in the supply of college graduates and a corresponding increase in the relative supply of lower skilled workers. But James Heckman has established that declines in college completion are about a drop in the rate of college enrolment and a corresponding decline in high school graduation rates. Here's the conclusion to a Vox piece by Mr Heckman and co- author Paul LaFontaine:
In the first half of the 20th century, growth in high school graduation was the driving force behind increased college enrolments. The decline in high school graduation since 1970 (for cohorts born after 1950) has flattened college attendance and completion rates as well as growth in the skill level of the U.S. workforce. To increase the skill levels of its future workforce, America needs to confront a large and growing dropout problem.The origins of this dropout problem have yet to be fully investigated. Evidence suggests a powerful role of the family in shaping educational and adult outcomes. A growing proportion of American children are being raised in disadvantaged families. This trend promises to reduce productivity and promote inequality in the America of tomorrow.
Mr Heckman tends to focus his policy solutions on the very young where, he has argued, remediation efforts bear the most fruit. At the same time, it's possible that the relative lack of success of remediation efforts later on in a student's career is directly related to the above state of affairs.
There is a wage premium earned by high school graduates relative to non- graduates, but its pretty small—much smaller than the gap between high school graduates and those with college degrees. The big advantage of a high school diploma is that it clears the way for a student to move on to the next level.
But the next level is increasingly out of reach for disadvantaged students. Money is occasionally the problem, but competition may be more of an issue. Disadvantaged households do not have the resources to invest in preparatory courses or multiple admissions applications. Students may not have the time after school to participate in extracurricular activities, needing, instead, to work. And disadvantaged students are unlikely to get the parental pressure at home to continue investing in activities designed to enhance competitiveness in admissions.
Perhaps the increasing competitiveness of college admissions processes are leading more students to conclude that college is out of reach—which is therefore reducing the return to a high school diploma and increasing the dropout rate.

篇2：雅思阅读速度慢4大成因分析及解决办法
雅思阅读速度慢4大成因分析及解决办法
雅思阅读速度慢之没有良好的阅读习惯
网络普及，信息爆炸，人们不在对信息如饥似渴，转而寻求信息的爆炸性和简介性，拿一个最简单的例子说，你读到这个位置的时候是不是忍不住想关掉退出了，心想“mark一下回头再看吧!” ?现在的人们对于阅读材料一旦字数超过140就很难坚持读下去(这也是微博字数限制140的原因)，
但是雅思阅读文章都是700-1000字不等的文章，在阅读中很难让人耐着性子读下去，也就容易出现走神的现象，这大大影响了阅读的速度。
解决方案：每天坚持泛读一篇完整的，1000字左右的英文材料，BBC news就是个不错的选择。
雅思阅读速度慢之英语语言基础薄弱
如果你词汇量太少，语法基础又很薄弱，就会在读文章时频频遇到生词，或是长难句难以抓住句子主干，不能了解中心思想。你不得不瞎猜词的意思或者不停反复读句子，因此浪费了大量时间。
解决方案：通过精读雅思阅读文章的方式积累单词，辨析长难句巩固语法。为自己定下目标，每天至少通过精读的方式记住比如50个生词(根据自身情况而定)，至少一个以前不会的语法点。
雅思阅读速度慢之短时记忆力差
现在的人都习惯了熬夜，白天昏昏沉沉效率低，晚上精神地和什么似的，但是也不会真的好好做雅思(是不是被我说中了)。平常对话说一半还问身边的人，我上一句说什么了?这样的集中度和短时记忆力根本不足以让你做完雅思的任何一套阅读题好吗?
解决方案：循序渐进锻炼短时记忆力，可以背诵新概念课文，先看几秒第一句，闭眼回想，能全部回想起来再看第二句，以此类推。背诵一段后再综合回想第一段内容。这样可以训练你总结的能力以及记忆力。
生活中也可以时刻锻炼短时记忆能力，比如说朋友的电话号码，走在街上看到瞬间开过的车牌照，等等等都可以加强你的短时记忆能力，这个是可以靠短期的训练来提高的。
雅思阅读速度慢之注意力缺失症
患有注意力缺失症的话，会很难坚持一句一句的扫读原文，大脑会带着眼睛在文章里乱扫，浪费了时间却完全没走心。
解决方案：可以自行百度“舒尔特表”来进行练习集中注意力。画一个5X5的表格，1写到正中间，其他2-25乱序随机写到其他空格，练习时眼睛盯着中间的1，用旁光去按顺序搜索2-25。

雅思词汇短语混用：such as与for example
such as与for example的混用
我们知道，在表示举例子的时候，such as 与like是完全等同的，如：Wild flowers such as/like orchids and
primroses are becoming rare.
但是同学们对于Such as、for example 的把握还是不够准确。我们都知道，后者接句子前者接词语表示举例子。于是就有了下面的写法：
There is a similar word in many languages， such as in French and
Italian.
这里的such as改为 for example为好，因为“in French and Italian”其实是“there is a similar
word in French and Italian”的简化，所以要用 for example来引出例证。再来看几个类似的例子：
It is possible to combine computer science with other subjects， for example
physics.

篇3：雅思阅读速度慢是什么原因
雅思阅读速度慢是什么原因
雅思阅读速度慢的原因1、边看边读
有一些考生因为原来学英语课文时有朗读的习惯，当遇到英语文章，都会情不自禁地读出声来，又或是口里念念有词。如此做的后果，肯定是阅读速度降低。解决问题比较重要的是一定要树立“看”文章而不是“读”文章的心态。
雅思阅读速度慢的原因2、一次只看一个单词
有一些考生逐词逐词地看，一眼只看一个单词，如此做不仅速度慢，同时也许还会有这样一种情形出现：每一个单词都认识，但整句话即无法理解。克服以上逐词阅读坏习惯的方法，为的是争取眼睛在文章中移动的速度一步一步加快，一次看一个意群(sense unit)，而不是只看一个单词。意群的划分如例所示：It is possible to use this iron in a vertical position so that you can remove creases from clothes on coat hangers or from curtains.
雅思阅读速度慢的原因3、遇生词则停顿
习惯在做雅思阅读题时先将全部生词查出来的考生，到了实战时却很容易出现碰到生词便停下来思索很长时间，从而造成打断阅读连贯性的情况。考生应该平时养成根据上下文猜测单词含义的习惯，而对于那些不影响理解的生词，则可以忽略不计。
综上，边看边读、一次只看一个单词、遇生词则停顿等原因，造成了雅思阅读速度慢，雅思阅读备考生了解了吗?
雅思阅读材料：怎么拍照会显瘦?
IF YOU’RE LIKE ME, YOU’RE CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR TIPS TO LOOK SKINNY IN PICTURES. by Lyndsie
It’s not that I’m necessarily unhappy with my body, but if I’m going to be showing a picture to the world (or my world, at least) on Facebook or what have you, I want to look my best. I want to know how to pose, how to find my best angles, and all the things they try to teach you on America’s Next Top Model. I’m no Tyra Banks, but if you’re in the same boat, then I’ve got some excellent tips to look skinny in pictures you may be able to use!
1. Get the Camera above You 将镜头置于头顶
A lot of tips to look skinny in pictures are actually subtle little tricks that any photographer can use. One such trick is to make sure that the camera above you. You don’t have to place it incredibly high; you can just hold it above your head or place it on a shelf that’s taller than you. Because of the angle, you’ll need to look up, which elongates your neck and makes you look wonderfully slim。
2. Watch Your Head 看着你的头部
The position of your head actually makes a huge difference about how you look in a picture. You shouldn’t pull your head back at an angle, for instance. That can make your chin look longer, so even if you’re thin, your face will look much bigger. Instead, position your head forward; even if you have a double chin, that will minimize it and create the illusion of slimness。
3. Twist It 扭动身体
Positioning your body correctly is another great tip to look skinny in pictures. You don’t want to face the camera full on, because no matter what, that’s going to make you look larger. Keep your spine straight and your shoulders squared, and twist yourself away from the lens. You can instead turn halfway to the side, put one foot in front of your other one, and keep that toe pointing toward the camera, while your weight rests on your other foot。
4. Suck It In 收腹
This kind of goes without saying, except you’ve got to be careful about it. It’s important, again, to have terrific posture when you do this, with your back and shoulders straight. You only want to suck in your stomach a little – don’t do it so much that your ribs are visible. That makes it incredibly obvious to any viewer that you’re sucking in to look skinnier。
5. At Arms 注意你的胳膊
The way you position your arms is vital if you want to look slim in a photo. You can either hold them out from your sides just a little, so that your upper arms don’t flatten, thereby looking wider, or you can turn three quarters away from the camera and put your hand on your hip. Not only will you look fierce, you’ll look skinny, too!
6. Wear Dark Clothing 穿深色衣服
Not every tip to look skinny in pictures involves the positioning of your body, though. How you dress makes a huge difference, as well. If you wear darker clothes, they will instantly slim you down. Black is always the new black for a reason, and besides that, the resulting picture will look wonderfully dramatic. Remember, the type of clothing you wear matters too – anything too large will make it look like you’re trying to hide something, while tight-fitting clothes will show bulges that aren’t even there。
7. Choose the Right hairstyle 选择合适的发型
The hairstyle you have can make you look thinner – or not – as well. If you know you’re going to be having pictures taken, try to avoid anything too sleek, like a ponytail pulled all the way back. Having tendrils of hair around your face creates a softness, taking away from any harsh angles that could make your head, neck, and shoulders look larger or wider than they are。
I really hope that my tips to look skinny in pictures have given you some great ideas. Bear in mind, you should love your body no matter what its shape or size. However, if you feel self conscious in front of the camera, there are some things you can do. Do you have any other tips on how to make yourself look stellar in a photo?

篇4：雅思阅读速度慢的原因分析
雅思阅读速度慢的原因分析及速度要求
雅思阅读，你为什么读得慢?
弄清楚问题的原因，我们才能”对症下药“，下面同学们自我诊断一下，找出读得慢的原因。这些小毛病，你中了几个?
一个词都不放过，逐字逐句地读;
被一个陌生单词拦截，看到不会的单词就停下来;
念紧箍咒式的默念默读;
强迫症型，想完全理解每个字、每句话的意思;
一个句子读2、3遍;
入戏太深，对文章的观点想得太深入、太多;
有的小伙伴不幸全中!是你吗?捂脸的小伙伴，注意了，读的太慢有害身心哦!不信你看：
阅读太慢带来的问题
有时候，慢读是必要的，而且很重要，但一味慢读就会造成一些问题：
读不完文章，考试无法完成;
时间快用完时，带来紧张等负面情绪;
浪费时间在一些无法带给你正确答案的文章内容上;
考前做阅读练习时，花费很长时间读不完一篇文章;
如何提高雅思阅读速度
(一) 略读 粗略地阅读语言材料的面式读法。通过略读获取雅思阅读材料的主要内容和大意。快速阅读时，训练学生略读文章标题判断预测主要内容。略读首尾段、首尾句了解文章大意。
(二)跳读 带着明确目的寻找特定信息，忽略无关内容的点式阅读。跳读适用于细节检索式问题。SEFC阅读课前的问题常可以用来训练跳读技巧。
如：Look Carefully and Learn (SB1A L6)
How did the students feel after they tasted the mixture?
首先归纳出问题的要点： How, students ,feel,
然后要求学生目光蛇形下移在规定的时间内在文章中检索出答案:
Instead of smiling, each of them made a face. The mixture tasted terrible.
(三)组读 以意群为单位，一组一组视读。边读边理解。减少眼停次数，缩短“眼脑直映”时间。
(四)记忆 阅读语言材料时，熟记文中的重要事实，情节是提高雅思阅读速度的重要手段。边读边忘，便无法深入全面理解材料。回视，重读等不良阅读习惯会随之出现。加强记忆能力的训练可以通过背诵重点句型、段落主题句、课文主要段落、结论，也可以在规定的时间之内要求学生阅读一段文章，然后复述该段文章的主要内容。
以上就是雅思阅读速度慢的原因分析及速度要求的全部内容，我们可以看出，雅思阅读速度提不上去的原因究其根本还是被一些单词所绊住或者在没有理解题干考察要点情况下的盲目地阅读。一句话说，要么就是就是没有搞清楚阅读的目的，要么就是阅读能力不够，不能理解大部分文章导致读起来吃力。
雅思考试阅读模拟试题及答案解析

1. Consumers are to be presented with two rival new year advertising campaigns as the Food Standards Agency goes public in its battle with the industry over the labelling of unhealthy foods.
2. The Guardian has learned that the FSA will launch a series of 10-second television adverts in January telling shoppers how to follow a red, amber and green traffic light labelling system on the front of food packs, which is designed to tackle Britain’s obesity epidemic.
3. The campaign is a direct response to a concerted attempt by leading food manufacturers and retailers, including Kellogg’s and Tesco, to derail the system. The industry fears that traffic lights would demonise entire categories of foods and could seriously damage the market for those that are fatty, salty or high in sugar.
4. The UK market for breakfast cereals is worth ￡1.27bn a year and the manufacturers fear it will be severely dented if red light labels are put on packaging drawing attention to the fact that the majority are high in salt and/or sugar.
5. The industry is planning a major marketing campaign for a competing labelling system which avoids colour-coding in favour of information about the percentage of “guideline daily amounts” (GDAs) of fat, salt and sugar contained in their products.
6. The battle for the nation’s diet comes as new rules on television advertising come into force in January which will bar adverts for unhealthy foods from commercial breaks during programmes aimed at children. Sources at the TV regulators are braced for a legal challenge from the industry and have described the lobbying efforts to block any new ad ban or colour-coded labelling as “the most ferocious we’ve ever experienced”.
7. Ofcom’s chief executive, Ed Richards, said: “We are prepared to face up to any legal action from the industry, but we very much hope it will not be necessary.” The FSA said it was expecting an onslaught from the industry in January. Senior FSA officials said the manufacturers’ efforts to undermine its proposals on labelling could threaten the agency’s credibility.
8. Terrence Collis, FSA director of communications, dismissed claims that the proposals were not based on science. “We have some of the most respected scientists in Europe, both within the FSA and in our independent advisory committees. It is unjustified and nonsensical to attack the FSA’s scientific reputation and to try to undermine its credibility.”
9. The FSA is understood to have briefed its ad agency, United, before Christmas, and will aim to air ads that are “non-confrontational, humorous and factual” as a counterweight to industry’s efforts about the same time. The agency, however, will have a tiny fraction of the budget available to the industry.
10. Gavin Neath, chairman of Unilever UK and president of the Food and Drink Federation, has said that the industry has made enormous progress but could not accept red “stop” signs on its food.
11. Alastair Sykes, chief executive of Nestlé UK, said that under the FSA proposals all his company’s confectionery and most of its cereals would score a red. “Are we saying people shouldn’t eat confectionery? We’re driven by consumers and what they want, and much of what we do has been to make our products healthier,” he said.
12. Chris Wermann, director of communications at Kellogg’s, said: “In principle we could never accept traffic light labelling.”
13. The rival labelling scheme introduced by Kellogg’s, Danone, Unilever, Nestlé, Kraft and Tesco and now favoured by 21 manufacturers, uses an industry-devised system based on identifying GDAs of key nutrients. Tesco says it has tested both traffic lights and GDA labels in its stores and that the latter increased sales of healthier foods.
14. But the FSA said it could not live with this GDA system alone because it was “not scientific” or easy for shoppers to understand at a glance.
Questions 1-6
Answer the questions below using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the passage for each answer.
1. When will instructions be given on reading the color-coded labels?
2. Where can customers find the red light labels?
3. What problem is the FSA trying to handle with the labeling system?
4. Which product sells well but may not be healthy?
5. What information, according to the manufacturers, can be labeled on products?
6. What can not be advertised during children’s programmes?

雅思阅读速度慢的原因分析及速度要求
雅思阅读，你为什么读得慢?
弄清楚问题的原因，我们才能”对症下药“，下面同学们自我诊断一下，找出读得慢的原因。这些小毛病，你中了几个?
一个词都不放过，逐字逐句地读;
被一个陌生单词拦截，看到不会的单词就停下来;
念紧箍咒式的默念默读;
强迫症型，想完全理解每个字、每句话的意思;
一个句子读2、3遍;
入戏太深，对文章的观点想得太深入、太多;
有的小伙伴不幸全中!是你吗?捂脸的小伙伴，注意了，读的太慢有害身心哦!不信你看：
阅读太慢带来的问题
有时候，慢读是必要的，而且很重要，但一味慢读就会造成一些问题：
读不完文章，考试无法完成;
时间快用完时，带来紧张等负面情绪;
浪费时间在一些无法带给你正确答案的文章内容上;
考前做阅读练习时，花费很长时间读不完一篇文章;
如何提高雅思阅读速度
(一) 略读 粗略地阅读语言材料的面式读法。通过略读获取雅思阅读材料的主要内容和大意。快速阅读时，训练学生略读文章标题判断预测主要内容。略读首尾段、首尾句了解文章大意。
(二)跳读 带着明确目的寻找特定信息，忽略无关内容的点式阅读。跳读适用于细节检索式问题。SEFC阅读课前的问题常可以用来训练跳读技巧。
如：Look Carefully and Learn (SB1A L6)
How did the students feel after they tasted the mixture?
首先归纳出问题的要点： How, students ,feel,
然后要求学生目光蛇形下移在规定的时间内在文章中检索出答案:
Instead of smiling, each of them made a face. The mixture tasted terrible.
(三)组读 以意群为单位，一组一组视读。边读边理解。减少眼停次数，缩短“眼脑直映”时间。
(四)记忆 阅读语言材料时，熟记文中的重要事实，情节是提高雅思阅读速度的重要手段。边读边忘，便无法深入全面理解材料。回视，重读等不良阅读习惯会随之出现。加强记忆能力的训练可以通过背诵重点句型、段落主题句、课文主要段落、结论，也可以在规定的时间之内要求学生阅读一段文章，然后复述该段文章的主要内容。
雅思阅读三篇文章难度有差别吗?
前两篇文章做得心花怒放，答题处如行云流水挥洒自如，奔着8分往上冲。到了第三篇文章，读了两段就瞬间被打回6.5原型。
于是乎同学们纷纷疑问：阅读三篇文章难度到底是如何分配的?第一篇文章太难的话我要不要迂回到第二篇继续作战?每篇文章的题目设置有套路吗?雅思三篇阅读难度一样吗
三篇文章难度设置
首先，雅思三篇文章的难度是不一样的。
通常来讲三篇文章的难度是逐渐递增的。也就是说，第一篇文章的难度是最低的。所以，在第一篇阅读文章就望而却步的宝宝们，大家的路还很长啊……
第一篇文章用时多久才恰当?
这个问题比较因人而异。平均来说雅思每篇阅读文章的时间分配都应该是20分钟。因此在做第一篇阅读时如果只是过去了15分钟，那么建议大家还是把第一篇文章先搞定，心理上轻装上阵攻克下面两篇。
如果时间已经过去20分钟以上，你还是有几道题找不到答案，这个时候就建议大家学会取舍，先完成后面的文章与题目，再回头来确定难点题目的答案。
阅读题目设置与文章形式相关吗?
大家在做阅读时要了解的一个小窍门，文章的类型与后面匹配的题目是有相关性的。
以第一篇文章为例，大家会发现文章类型大多是事实描述的说明文，比如介绍某项事物的历史、用途、特点等等，相对来说观点类论述会比较少。因此，第一篇文章的题目类型会侧重在你对 factual information，也就是客观事实的把控能力上。
在第一篇文章后你经常见到的题型是：short answer类; table completion类或者T/F/NG类。
第二篇文章的题型设置通常会考察一下你的综合概括能力，比如 matching headings类;listing of headings类。当然，这种heading类题型是设置在文章之前的，直接告诉你阅读时概括理解是重点。
难度最高的第三篇文章中会出现很多的argument观点论据等等。文中可能会出现很多人对于某一事物或者理论的看法，支持与反对的意见交织在文中。不仅如此，这篇文章的长度通常是最长的，题目设置量也是最多的。因此第三篇文章后的题目设置类型经常会出现：multiple choice类;Y/N/NG类。
细心的同学们发现了吧，第一篇文章的判断题通常设置为T/F, 第三篇文章则为Y/N。这两种题型可不是考官随心所欲的任性产物。一般来说T/F问法的题目设置大多为事实以及细节判断，因此常见于第一篇阅读。而需要判断Y/N的题目大多是观点或态度等主观层面的论述。出现在第三篇文章后就不奇怪啦。
精读到底怎样操作最有效
首先怎么界定你的阅读是否够“精“呢?一个简单的衡量标准就是，你学得越累，学习的效果就越好。很扎心吧，但是这个衡量方式很有道理。
你学得累，证明你调动的认知资源更多，花费的精力更多，专注度更高，因此学习效果自然更好。比如一篇文章，浮光掠影的大致泛读与逐句翻译相比，当然是翻译在时间精力上的花费更大。
泛读的时候很多宝宝感觉已经读懂了文章大致，但是在逐句分析、精读、甚至背诵的时候，你就会发现词汇的用法，句子成分的分析，甚至是上下文背景的交代等细节，你还存在大量无法全面理解的知识点。这也体现出了精读的重要性。
下面讲精读方法。
精读的方向主要有两个，第一个是reading for learning，也就是说通过精读而让你的英语变得更好，这也是大多数宝宝在学英语中经历的环节。第二个方向是learning for reading, 也就是学习如何进行阅读，更多的是学习一些阅读方式以及技巧。这两种最常见的阅读方向分别如何进行精读呢?
1 reading for learning
先说大家最熟悉的环节。雅思阅读的精读步骤是什么?首先，严格按照考试要求和时间把题目做完。也就是说，你可以20分钟做完一篇文章的题目，也可以用1小时把三篇题目一气呵成。做完之后当然要对一对答案，把错误标注出来。
第二步，开始对文本进行研读。研读过程中完成两件事：第一，整理文章出现的核心词汇与话题词汇(尤其是你经常见到但是还不认识的);第二，对照中文翻译文本进行逐句研读。方法是：先看一遍英文，脑子里过一下这句英文该怎么翻译;然后去看正确的中文翻译，检视一下你的翻译与正确翻译有多大出处;最后再看一遍英文原句，理顺一下句子成分。当你完成整篇文章的逐句研读后，你对文章的细节理解应该已经非常透彻了。当然如果你还有余力，你可以分析一下句间关系和段间关系，句子之间与段落之间的衔接方法。
第三步，分析题目。当你完整把握了全文细节以及结构之后，在仔细研究每道题的出处考点以及设问方式。当然你也可以借助很多雅思参考书中的提干解析。
第四步，也是最重要的一个步骤，英译汉逐句翻译。在文章中挑选3-5段你认为理解困难度最高的段落进行“落笔逐句翻译”。不管你是写在纸上还是打在word里，这个环节都一定不能省略。你会发现，即使你已经对着翻译文本逐句进行精读了，你在逐词落笔翻译中依然会对这句话的用词、句式、成分以及整个段落构成有新的认识。
第五步，不是必须要求，但是却能够快速拔升你的阅读乃至整个英语能力：背诵段落。选取你落笔翻译过的难段进行背诵，注意背诵的目的不是为了把他们用在写作或者口语考试里，否则难度太大，也会显得很突兀。背诵过程最重要培养的是你的英语思维能力。
以上就是reading for learning精读方式的5大步骤，总结起来就是做题目对答案——对照译文逐句精读——分析题目与答案——选段落笔翻译——选段背诵。
2 learning for reading
learning for reading方向的精读方法，更加针对于阅读能力的集中提升，而非整个的语言能力。方法很简单。首先拿到一篇文章，先看它的题目，然后来个prediction，自己分析行文中可能会包括哪些内容。
举个栗子，一篇名为Jonsson’s dictionary 的文章，你尽量全面的猜测文章中会涉及到哪些内容。比如对Jonsson这个人的介绍，背景、学历、身份等，对dictionary的介绍，比如什么时候出版的，有什么特点，作者是谁，等等。
罗列出你的预测内容点之后再阅读文章，同时判断你的预测哪些在文中提到了，哪些是not given。所有你预测成功的内容，试着做一下段落matching，也就是说这些预测内容分别出现在文中的哪几段。最后有余力的宝宝们可以试试自己做一个summary，进行一下句子的改写。怎么改写?直接看学姐发给大家的雅思同义替换词学学套路。
大家发现了吗，这一系列的流程结束后，雅思阅读中的高频题型能力你都得到了提升。这也就是所谓的learning for reading。
精读也许很耗时，但是效果却很显著。学姐强烈建议备考的宝宝用心试一个月，你会看到很明显的阅读能力的提升。还等什么，动起来!

雅思阅读：熟悉题型组合套路 快速突破阅读长文
为了熟悉题型组合套路，首先我们要知道的必备知识：
1、在学过的各种题型中，按文章顺序出题的主要有以下四种：4选1单项选择、判断，填空、Matching首尾配对。其中，前两者必然顺序出题，后两者则存在特列，不过一般按照顺序题的模式来操作。
2、相应地，不按文章出题的题型则主要是余下的Matching匹配题，主要包括常考的段落信息匹配题、人名配理论观点匹配题等。
3、除此以外，多选题往往考察文中固定的1-2个段落。
4、List of headings题则相对较为特殊：首先因为它的题干就是每个段落，所以肯定是逐段出题;同时，它又因自身位置的特殊(雅思阅读中唯一一道出现在文章前的题型)而有着自身的特殊性。
知道上述知识后我们就可以开始学习题型组合套路的问题了，根据对于雅思阅读真题(主要是剑4-剑9以及机经)的考察，我们总结出雅思阅读题型组合的3种形式：
一、切块型
代表文章是剑5T2P2 (what’s so funny?)，这类文章的主要特点为：将文章切为数块，每道题分别对应考察文中的一块。经过观察，这类文章的题型主要是由上文中所提到的顺序题所组成的，也就是题型由判断、选择、填空、Matching首尾配对组成。由于大题的顺序性，再加上各大题内部小题的顺序性，使得这种题型成为了相对易于解决的一种，因为所有题都依照文章顺序出，我们只要逐题回到文章定位解题即可。
不过，在考察这种文章的时候，我们也看到了很多不符合上述标准的例子。最常见的是有大量真题，其题型组合依旧是由上述几种题型拼凑而成，但却不能“切块”，而是仍有部分题考查了全文。经总结，我们发现这些题的特点为：只有两道大题。这种只有两道大题的题型则构成了我们下文要讨论的另一种题型组合形式。
判定标准：
1、题型只由判断、填空、选择、Matching首尾配对等顺序题组成，没有Matching段落信息匹配、Matching人名理论匹配等非顺序题;
2、题型的数量大于等于3道。
另外，必须强调的是，文章前方出现list of headings题，对于文章后面的题能否“切”，没有任何影响。比如剑5T3P2消失的三角洲，剑6T4P3校园欺凌现象，这两篇文章中，前方的标题题对于后面“切块”的判定都没造成任何影响。
二、两题并列式
如上文所述，两道大题型所组成的题型结构套路，就是我们的两题并列式。与切块型不同，两题不可“切”。顾名思义，两题并列式肯定会出现并列：一般来说，两题并列式至少会有一题考察全文(代表文章是剑6T1P3因纽特人)，常见两题都考察全文的情况(详见剑9T4P1居里夫人)。
那么，面对这种两题式我们应该如何操作呢?一般来说，比较提倡顺序做题的方法，即先做第一道题，同时看完全文，再做第二道题的模式。这种做题的方式相对比较符合常人的思路，没有打乱题型，也就避免了大家的做题过程中在不同题型不同方法之间的来回转换。
判定标准：只有两道题。
三、段落式
刚才的题型都是没有Matching非顺序题参与的题型组合套路，段落式正是围绕这些非顺序题形成的。在近年来的考试中，越来越多地体现出围绕段落信息匹配题为中心的一种题型组织套路，这就是我们的段落式。简单地说有段落信息匹配题，就是段落式。段落式的其他题型搭配花样很丰富，根据段落信息匹配后的题型又分两种，若有匹配题，则多半每道题都考全文(如段落信息匹配、人名理论配对、判断题的组合);若没有匹配题(由判断、单选、填空等组成)，则在段落信息匹配题后的题也可以“切”。针对这种题的解题方式，永远要先做后面的题，细节题优先，然后利用细节题的信息做段落信息匹配题。
判定标准：有段落信息匹配题。
雅思阅读解题技巧--定位特别重要
顺序原则
在雅思阅读考试中，大多数的细节题(TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN, Multiple choice, Summary)答案出现的顺序都有规律可循。简单的说都遵循顺序原则，也就是每道题目在原文中出现的顺序和题号的顺序是一致的。例如：第一题会在第二题前面出现，第二题会在第三题前出现。但是这个规律只局限于每道大题之内，各种题型间就不遵循这个规律了。
有的时候考生在解题时如果一时无法找到某道题目的答案位置，可将本道题目前后的题目答案都找到，前后两道题中间相隔的部分就是本道题目的答案出处。例如：如果考生在题目中发现第一题的出处在文章A段，第二题的出处在文章C段，那么就可以很快确定第二题的答案位置应该在A段第一题出处和C段第三题出处的中间。这样不但可以帮助定位，还可以帮助解答NOT GIVEN选项。
定位词
在考试中，我们知道在雅思考试中考生需要在60 分钟内完成3篇文章，40道雅思试题并且将答案完整的填写在答卷纸上。极其有限的考试时间就要求学生在短时间内能找到答案的出处快速解题。在考场上，考生往往在时间较紧的情况下内心会更加紧张，促使其更难在短时间内找到需要的答案。
为了保证考生的阅读效率和质量，考生需要在题目中找到合适的单词作为回原文快速检索答案的工具，这类词往往要求不易替换，具有很好的识别性。在考试中一旦有了定位词，大家就可以在找答案时改换逐字逐句阅读变为扫读(scanning)，这就意味着考生在完成阅读答题时，不需要将原文中所有内容全部读懂。 在选取完合适的定位词后，在读原文时找到含有这个定位词的句子，等到确认句子后再仔细阅读本句话。而这些定位词如果识别性很强，那阅读必将事半功倍。所以，选好合适的定位词在阅读考试中至关重要，以下为雅思阅读中定位词选择原则：
1. 尽量选择较为特殊的单词，例如： 特殊名词(人名、地名、时间、年代)，特殊符号(引号、书名号、破折号)
2. 题目中不以替换、较为容易识别的名词
1 特殊名词
1.1 人名
题目：
Indigenous Tasmanians used only four terms t indicates numbers of objects.
原文：
Evidence of early stages of arithmetic and numeration can be readily found. The indigenous peoples of Tasmania were only able to count one, two, many;
正确答案： False
错误定位词： four
定位词： Tasmanians
正确解法： 根据Tasmanians这个单词在原文中可以找到原文中The indigenous peoples of Tasmania部分，虽然原文中的用词Tasmania和 Tasmanians 有一定区别，但是大家会发现这两个词之间的同意替换关系很容易识别，所以这个单词正是定位的关键词。
老师解析：本题中解题的关键就是定位词，在这个题目中如果考生能正确的选出Tasmanians这个定位词就可以很快的找到Tasmania这个同义词。那么剩下的就是比较一下原文和题目。原文中是one ,two ,many而题目中是four,考生会发现是存在矛盾的。但是如果将定位词选择为four，那么本题就很难找到正确答案的出处。考生在判断定位词的时候应该注意，数字类的定位词一般选取阿拉伯数字。如果定位词是英文单词则一般不考虑。如果考生没有把握，完全可以将本题中的Tasmania和four 这两个较为特殊的名词都作为定位词，以利解题。
1.2 数字
题目
Only two Japanese pagodas have collapsed in 1400 years.
原文
In a land swept by typhoons and shaken by earthquakes, how have Japan's tallest and seemingly flimsiest old buildings - 500 or so wooden pagodas - remained standing for centuries? Records show that only two have collapsed during the past 1400 years.
错误答案：False
错误原因： 关注本题中的绝对化用词only，认为绝对化选项都是错误的。
正确答案： True
正确定位词：1400
正确解法： 应将1400这个显而易见的定位词作为标志，回到原文中仔细比对。
老师解析：本题在考生中的错误率极高。单纯从题目分析，题干上的定位词较为明显，考生都能很清晰的将1400最为定位词，完成本题。在实际的解析中，很多同学因为在练习或是课堂中被灌输了含有绝对化的单词都是错误的思维，认为在本题中既然出现了only，那么本题的答案就一定是False。这样看见某个单词选择某一答案的方式是经验的总结，并不能在每道题目上得到印证。
数字定位词替换
题目
Modern official athletic records date from about 1990.
原文
Since the early years of the twentieth century, when the International Athletic Federation began keeping records, there has been a steady improvement in how fast athletes run, how high they jump and how far they are able to hurl massive objects, them-selves included, through space.
错误答案：Not Given
错误原因： 选取定位词时选取了1990，在原文中寻找答案试时也只找1990.
正确答案： True
正确定位词：1900
正确解法： 应将1900这个显而易见的定位词作为标志，原文中的第一句话中虽然没有提及1900，但是第一句话中包含了the early years of twentieth century
老师解析： 这道题的杀伤力很大。很多考生很容易做错这道题并且在本题上浪费大量的时间。这道题目是文章后的第一道题目，很多考生在定位时迟迟找不到本题的出处，在这道题目上浪费了大量的时间。
如果考生在考试中花了3分钟还没有解答出某道题目就应该果断的放弃此题，考试中每道题目的分值都是相同的，没有必要为某些题目浪费过多的时间。旧本题而言，本题的定位词1900 在原文中出现是替换成了twentieth century。这一同意替换较为难识别。但如果考生有一定的词汇基础还是很容易发现的。未来的雅思考试中，较为难的题目就将会是朝着定位词也适当替换的方向发展。
多个定位词
题目：
Between 1983 and 1990, the numbers of patients visiting alternative therapists rose to include a further 8% of the population.
原文：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.
错误答案：Not Given
错误原因： 选择1983、1990、8%三个数字中的一个作为定位词
正确答案： False
正确定位词：1983、1990、8%三个数字全部作为定位词
正确解法： 应将1983、1990、8%三个数字全部作为定位词
老师解析：此题的定位词相对简单，题目中出现了较多的数字(1983，1990，8%)。考试中年代、数值、百分比等数字信息往往是定位的首选，所以题目中的数字可以成为定位的首选。读者稍加注意就会发现一点疑问，在题目中出现了多个数字，到底哪个数字是考生的最佳选择依据。在实际的考试中，最佳的策略是记住其中所有的数字，将其全部作为定位词。考生可以记住一个做题经验，往往在题目中出现多个较好的定位词时，其中的一部分很可能在原文中并不会出现。本题中的数字1983，1990分别出现在紧挨的两句话中而8%正是本题的考点，在原文中并未出现，考生需要分别阅读含有1983，1990的两句话才能完成题目。争取的变化比例为0.7%(2.6%-1.9%=0.7%)。
选项作为定位词
题目
Biomechanics specialists used theoretical models to :
A. soften the Fosbury flop
B. create the Fosbury flop
C. correct the Fosbury flop
D. explain the Fosbury flop
错误答案：B
错误原因： 定位词选取biomechanics
E. 正确定位词： Fosbury flop
F. 正确解法： 应将Fosbury flop 作为文中定位词，在文中找出对应句子
老师解析： 这道题目的关键词较为特殊，并不是考生习惯中题目题干中的成分。而是在选项中的成分。在这四个选项中，虽然动词使用各不相同，但是名词性成分Fosbury flop是完全相同的。考生会发现无论选择哪一个答案，总是会和Fosbury flop相关。所以在这种情况下，定位词就不应该选择题目中的单词了，而是选项中的单词。
篇7：雅思阅读速度慢的6大成因及应对策略
雅思阅读速度慢的6大成因及应对策略
1.没有良好的阅读习惯
随着网络的发展，信息进入爆炸发展的时代，人们对信息的摄入显得越来越浮躁，现在的人们对于阅读材料一旦字数超过140 就很难坚持读下去(这也是微博字数限制140的原因)，相信很多同学读到这个位置的时候已经忍不住想关掉退出了，心想“mark一下回头再看吧!”
但是雅思阅读文章都是700-1000字不等的文章，在阅读中容易出现走神的现象耽误时间。
解决方案：每天坚持泛读一篇完整的，1000字左右的英文材料，BBC news就是个不错的选择。
2.英语语言基础薄弱
词汇&语法基础薄弱，阅读过程中生词太多，或是长难句难以抓住句子主干，不能了解中心思想，导致反复阅读及猜想，耽误了时间。
解决方案：通过精读雅思阅读文章的方式积累单词，辨析长难句巩固语法。为自己定下目标，每天至少通过精读的方式记住比如50个生词(根据自身情况而定)，至少一个以前不会的语法点。
3.短时记忆力差
看完题之后回到原文中扫读文章找出题点，结果找的过程中忘了题目说的是什么而读漏了，再翻过去看题，来回翻来回找，浪费了时间。
解决方案：循序渐进锻炼短时记忆力，从1道题开始，读完闭上眼，脑中重复2次该题内容。回到原文中每读完一小段马上再重复回忆题目内容。能够无障碍记忆一道题之后，同时记忆两道题再扫读原文。以此类推。
生活中也可以时刻锻炼短时记忆能力，比如说朋友的电话号码，走在街上看到瞬间开过的车牌照，等等等都可以加强你的短时记忆能力，这个是可以靠短期的训练来提高的。
4.患有注意力缺失症
患有注意力缺失症的话，会很难坚持一句一句的扫读原文，大脑会带着眼睛在文章里乱扫，浪费了时间却完全没走心。
解决方案：可以自行百度“舒尔特表”来进行练习集中注意力。画一个5X5的表格，1写到正中间，其他2-25乱序随机写到其他空格，练习时眼睛盯着中间的1，用旁光去按顺序搜索2-25。
5.对雅思阅读考试不了解
没有参加过雅思培训，不了解考官出题模式，不了解雅思阅读文章写作规律，还在用原始的“先看文章再看题作答”的模式，或是在用精读原文每一句话的强迫症阅读方式，导致时间不够。没有在考场上正确的合理的分配阅读和解题的时间
解决方案：反复计时刷题、来听孟老师的雅思阅读课程。
6.瞎
这个老师帮不到你，千万不要放弃治疗。
以上这些提升雅思阅读解题速度的方法适用于还有一定准备时间的同学，阅读速度不是一朝一夕就能有效提升的，要靠慢慢的积累，综合能力的加强。
如果马上就要考试的同学，短时间内能做的就是练习合理的安排答题时间，记住一点：咱的目标不是读完三篇文章，而是做完40道题，其实也不是做完40道题，而是把30道题做对拿7分以上。读完三篇文章和做对30道题是截然不同的概念。所以短期备考的同学要学会取舍。如果你的目标是7分，你可以错10道题呢，一篇文章才13道题，相当于可以放弃将近一整片文章。所以考试不怕错，只要你能快点错，抓紧时间错就好，把宝贵的时间留给真正能做出的题才是王道。
雅思阅读机经真题解析--Sunny Days For Silicon
Sunny Days For Silicon
You should spend about 20 minutes on Question 14-26 which are based on Reading Passage below.
AThe old saw that “the devil is in the details” characterizes the kind of needling obstacles that prevent an innovative concept from becoming a working technology. It also often describes the type of problems that must be overcome to shave cost from the resulting product so that people will buy it. Emanuel Sachs of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has struggled with many such little devils m his career-tong endeavor to develop low-cost, high-efficiency solar cells. In his latest effort, Sachs has found incremental ways to boost the amount of electricity that common photovoltaics (PVs) generate from sunlight without increasing the costs. Specifically, he has raised the conversion efficiency of test cells made from multi-crystalline silicon from the typical 15.5 percent to nearly 20 percent—on par with pricier single-crystal silicon cells. Such improvements could bring the cost of PV power down from the current $1.90 to $2.10 per watt to $1.65 per watt. With additional tweaks, Sachs anticipates creating within Four years solar cells that can produce juice at a dollar per watt, a feat that would make electricity (rum the sun competitive with that from coal-burning power plants.
BMost PV cells, such as those on home rooftops, rely on silicon to convert sunlight into electric current. Metal interconnects then funnel the electricity out from the silicon to power devices or to feed an electrical grid. Since solar cells became practical and affordable three decades ago, engineers have mostly favored using single-crystal silicon as the active material, says Michael Rogol, managing director of Germany- based Photon Consulting. Wafers of the substance are typically sawed from an ingot consisting of one large crystal that has been pulled like taffy out of a vat of molten silicon. Especially at first, the high-purity ingots were left over from integrated-circuit manufacture, but later the process was used to make PV cells themselves, Rogol recounts. Although single-crystal cells offer high conversion efficiencies, they are expensive to make. The alternatives- multi-crystalline silicon cells, which factories fabricate from lower-purity, cast ingots composed or many smaller crystals—arc cheaper to make, but unfortunately they arc Jess efficient than single-crystal cells.
CSachs, who has pioneered several novel ways to make silicon solar cells less costly and more effective, recently turned his focus to the details of multi-crystalline silicon cell manufacture. The first small improvement concerns the little silver fingers that gather electric current from the surface of the bulk silicon,“ he explains. In conventional fabrication processes, cell manufacturers use screen-printing techniques (”like high-accuracy silk-screening of T-shirts,“ Sachs notes) and inks containing, silver particles to create these bus wires. The trouble is that standard silver wires come out wide and short, about 120 by 10 microns, and include many nonconductive voids. As a result, they block considerable sunlight and do not carry as much current as they should.
DAt his start-up company—Lexington, Mass- based 1366 Technologies (the number refers to the flux of sunlight that strikes the earth's outer atmosphere: 1.366 watts per square meter)—Sachs is employing ”a proprietary wet process that can produce thinner and taller“ wires that are 20 by 20 microns. The slimmer bus wires use less costly silver und can be placed closer together so they can draw more current from the neighboring active material, through which free electrons can travel only so far. At the same time, the wires block less incoming light than their standard counterparts.
EThe second innovation alters the wide, flat interconnect wires that collect current from the silver bus wires and electrically link adjacent cells. Interconnect wires at the top can shade as much as 5 percent of the area of a cell. ”We place textured mirror surfaces on the faces of these rolled wires. These little mirrors reflect incoming light at a lower angle--around 30 degrees-—so that when the reflected rays hit the glass layer at Lire top, they stay within the silicon wafer by way of total internal reflection,” Sachs explains. (Divers and snorkelers commonly see this optical effect when they view water surfaces from below.) The longer that light remains inside, the more chance it has to be absorbed and transformed into electricity.
FSachs expects that new antireflection coatings will further raise multi-crystal line cell efficiencies. One of his firm's future goals will be a switch from expensive silver bus wires to cheaper copper ones. And he has a few ideas regarding how to successfully make the substitution. “Unlike silver, copper poisons the performance of silicon PVs,” Sachs says, “so it will be crucial to include a low-cost diffusion barrier that stops direct contact between copper and the silicon.” In this business, it's always the little devilish details that count.
GThe cost of silicon solar cells is likely to fall as bulk silicon prices drop, according to the U.S. Energy information Administration and the industry tracking firm Solarbuzz. A steep rise in solar panel sales in recent years had led to a global shortage of silicon because production capacity for the active material lagged behind, but now new silicon manufacturing plants are coming online. The reduced materials costs and resulting lower system prices will greatly boost demand for solar-electric technology, according to market watcher Michael Rogol of Photon Consulting.

参考译文：
太阳能硅电池
A
古语“细节决定成败”形象地刻画出了了那种针尖大小的障碍足以阻止一个创新的概念转化成一项实用的技术。它往往也描述出了这样一类问题：通过降低产品的成本来吸引消费者来购买。麻省理工学院的Emanuel Sachs在他的职业生涯中一直在努力通过许多这样的小细节开发低成本且高效率的太阳能电池。在他最新的研究中，Emanuel Sachs己经发现许多在不增加成本的前提下提高普通光伏（PV）从太阳光中产生的电量。具体来说，他将由多结晶硅制成的测试电池的转换效率从典型的15.5%提高至近20%——达到了比其价格更高的单晶硅电池的转换效率。这种改进可能将光伏发电的成本由现在的$1.90到$2.10每瓦下跌到$1.65每瓦。随着更多的调整，Sachs预计在四年内发明出太阳能电池，他可以讲成本降到$1每瓦，这将使转化自太阳能的电力由燃煤电厂生产的电力形成竞争关系。
B
大多数光伏电池，比如那些在家里的屋顶，是依靠硅材料将太阳光转换成电流。金属互相连接将电流从硅中导出来向电网输电。德国Photon Consulting公司常务董事Michael Rogol，认为自太阳能电池在30年前被普遍推广使用起，工程师们大多是釆用单晶硅作为活性物质的。该物质的晶片通常是从由一大块晶体组成的锭上锯下来的，而该晶体是从一大桶熔化了的硅中像太妃糖似得被拔出来的。Rogol补充说，特别是在刚开始的时候，髙纯度硅锭被废弃在集成电路制造厂，但之后就被用来制造太阳能电池。虽然单晶电池能提供商的转换效率，但它们的生产成本很高。其替代品——多晶硅电池，是工厂用低纯度的由许多小的晶体组成的铸造锭中制造的，生产成本低廉，但不幸的是他们比单晶电池的转换效率要低。
C
Sachs率先推出了一些新的方法使得太阳能硅电池更便宜更有效，最近他又将重点放在多晶硅电池制造的细节上。他解释说，第一个需要小幅改进的问题是关于“收集电流从硅表面上汇集电流的小的银制线路”。在传统的制造工艺中，电池制造商使用丝网印刷技术（“就像像高精度丝网印刷T恤一样，”Sachs注）和含有银粒子的油墨来创建线路。麻烦的是，标准的银制电线一般宽而且短，大约120微米长10微米宽，并包含许多不导电的空隙，因此阻挡了大量的阳光的吸收从而减少了本该传输的电流星。
D
在他创办的第一家位于马萨诸塞州Lexington的Technologies公司（该数字意指太阳光撞击地球外层大气的流量是：每平方米1366瓦特）——Sachs采用一项专有技术来制造更薄更高的电线：20.0微米。这种更细的电线使用成本较低的银，并且可以放置得更近，使它们能够从邻近的活性物质吸引更多的电流，在这些活性物质中，自由电子只可以在有限的范围内移动。与此同时，该电线比其它对应电线阻挡较少的入射光。
E
他的第二项创新改变了用来收集从银制电线以及电气连接的相邻的电池中的电流的扁平较宽的互相交错的电线。位于顶部的互相交错的电线可遮挡一个电池多达5%的区域。Sachs解释道，“我们在这些轧线的表面放上质感的镜面。这些小反射镜在一个较低的角度——大约30度左右反射入射光。因此，当反射光线击中顶部的玻璃层时，它们将会通过全内反射的方式留在硅晶片内。” （当潜水和浮潜的人从水下面看水的表而时，通常会看到这种光学效应。）该光线在硅晶片中停留的时间越长，它越有机会被吸收且被转化成电能。
F
Sachs预计新的抗反射涂层将进一步提高多晶电池的效率。他公司的未来目标之一是用较便宜的铜制电线替代目前使用的价格昂贵的银制电线。他对于如何成功地完成这项转换已经有了一些想法。Sachs说“铜不像银，它会削弱硅光伏电池的性能，所以使用阻断铜与硅之间的直接接触的材料将是至关重要的。”在这个行业，往往是细节决定成败。”
G
美国能源信息署和行业跟踪公司Solarbuzz认为，太阳能硅电池的成本很可能会随着硅价格的下降而走低。最近几年太阳能电池板销售的陡然上升己经导致硅的全球性短缺，因为活性物质的产能落后，但是现在新的硅制造工厂即将上线。Photon Consulting公司的市场观察员Michael Rogol认为，降低的材料成本以及随之降低的价格大大提高提振太阳能光电技术的需求。

托福阅读速度慢问题解决办法讲解 先搞定词汇是基础
托福阅读提速先打好词汇基础
托福考试要求8000左右的词汇量，具备英语四级-六级水平的学生，词汇量在6000左右，还需要补足2000左右词汇的差距。背单词是托福考试备考中老生常谈的问题，背单词的一些细节要注意：首先，背词汇书是很枯燥的，考生要避免盯着一个词太久来记忆，这样做倒不如反复记忆(即快速记多个单词，不断重复记一些单词);另外，在平时阅读材料的时候，把自己不认识的单词写下来，并记牢它的常用含义。而且由于托福阅读话题重复可能性大，如果大家能够在材料中遇到同一个单词2-3次并给予关注，往往就能掌握这个词了。
托福阅读提速要看懂长难句
托福阅读中的句子为不少考生所抵触，越是这样越是读不懂。托福阅读长难句的理解关键在于找主干，其实很多题目解答是用不到句子中的修饰成分的，所以如果总是读不懂句子，又可以确定自己词汇量是足够的，就要把精力放在语法的学习上，要了解各种从句成分的形式、作用，了解句子结构，再通过练习掌握分析句子的方法。除此之外，托福阅读速度慢的学生分不清内容重点，每个句子都看是没有必要的。要想明确在有限的时间重点读什么，学生还要从托福阅读考点以及内容逻辑角度着手。
托福阅读提速请整体把握文章
对于整篇托福阅读文章，由于文体不同，需要把握的内容也是不同的，能够了解文章结构把握重点可以帮助大家提高托福阅读速度。托福阅读议论文相对说明文更容易把握，因为观点+论点+论据的一般形式可以帮助学生把握文章思路;而说明文会包含一些数字、人物、实验等，学生可能会感觉信息量太大不好掌握，但是这些内容大部分情况下可以略读，其实只要掌握了方法并不难。

Questions 1l-20
According to some scientists, migratory birds should be able to withstand the winter.
A bird s feathery coat is good insulation against the cold. BECause a bird is warm- blooded, its body temperature always remains constant, even if the temperature of its surroundings changes.
The factors that trigger migratory behavior in birds are difficult to explain. This behavior seems to be instinctive, not learned. For example, many northern species leave their summer homes while the weather is still warm and the food supply plentiful. Young arctic terns born at the arctic breeding grounds will lake off with the flock for distant lands they have never seen.
Bird migrations are probably regulated by the glandular system. Scientists suspect that the changing length of the day is the factor that triggers migratory behavior. In an experiment, migratory birds were kept in artificially lighted rooms. It was found that if periods of darkness were lengthened proportionately, the glands of the birds became active. These glands secrete hormones, which are chemicals that control numerous body functions. Shorter periods of daylight seem to change the hormone balance of birds, so that they retain more fat. This stored fat is the fuel that provides the energy for a long flight. The same experiment revealed that the birds became more excited as the artificial night was lengthened. It is probably no coincidence that most flocks begin their migratory flights during the night.

托福(TOEFL)考试阅读
The war for independence from Britain was a long and economically costly conflict. The New England fishing industry was temporarily destroyed, and the tobacco colonies in the South were also hard hit. The trade in imports was severely affected, since the war was fought against the country that had previously monopolized the colonies’ supply of manufactured goods. The most serious consequences were felt in the cities, whose existence depended on commercial activity. Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Charleston were all occupied for a time by British troops. Even when the troops had left, British ships lurked in the harbors and continued to disrupt trade.
American income from shipbuilding and commerce declined abruptly, undermining the entire economy of the urban areas. The decline in trade brought a fall in the American standard of living. Unemployed shipwrights, dock laborers, and coopers drifted off to find work on farms and in small villages. Some of them joined the Continental army, or if they were loyal to Britain, they departed with the British forces. The population of the New York City declined from 21,000 in 1774 to less than half that number only nine years later in 1783.
The disruptions produced by the fighting of the war, by the loss of established markets for manufactured goods, by the loss of sources of credit, and by the lack of new investment all created a period of economic stagnation that lasted for the next twenty years.
1.Why does the author mention the fishing industry and the tobacoo colonies?
A. to show how the war for independence affected the economy
B. to compare the economic power of two different regions
C. to identify the two largest commercial enterprises in America
D. to give examples of industries controlled by British forces
2. Why does the author mention the population of New York City in paragraph 2?
A. to show that half of New York remained loyal to Britain
B. to compare New York with other cities occupied during the war
C. to emphasize the great short-term cost of the war for New York
D. to illustrate the percentage of homeless people in New York
3. Chinese people had fought for independence from foreign countries for more than 100 years; we had lost lands, powers, resources and lives during that period. Today, China faces a new challenge that how the development can maintain, in other words, how China doesn’t lag behind. Please write an essay to express your ideas.
