篇1:雅思大作文和阅读失分分析
雅思大作文和阅读失分分析
雅思大作文失分的六个基础性原因
原因1:
开头冗长,绕来绕去,不知所云,摆一堆华丽而没有实质内容的句子,然后突然写出自己的观点。
原因2:
开头和主体段的第一段混为一谈。有同学会直接写我同意观点因为一句话给出观点,然后就直接开始写第一点原因。这样的文章结构不清晰,在阅卷人眼中马上被打上结构不清的标签,如果再犯两个语法错误,那就别想翻身了。
原因3:
主体没有分段,把所有的原因糅合在一起,让读者去自己理清条理。英语和中文不一样。英语是作者责任制,中文是读者责任制。也就是说写英文,作者需要保证读者能明白自己写的是什么,如果读者不明白,那就是你作者的责任。而在中文中则正好相反,我想怎么写就怎么写,读不懂是你读者的问题。
原因4:
主体段每段中没有主题句,或者一个明显的主题意思。我经常看到有人说了一堆例子,却不明白他要这些例子说明什么。其实,只要在每个段落前加一个很简短的句子,告诉别人你在说什么,就会使文章变得很清楚。
原因5:
主体段有主题句,但是没有对主题句进行进一步解释,而是直接摆例子,这样会显得文章非常的唐突。
原因6:
文章有开头,但是在开头作者没有给出观点,而是在结尾给出观点 。对于这种写法,也有争议,讲英语的人也在争论是不是世界上所有的 人都应该按照英语的文体写。一般的结论是认为,这取决于你的读者, 如果你的读者是英语为母语的人,那么还是按照他们的习惯写为好,不 要追求什么神秘感,一定要等到最后才给出观点。对于托福雅思的作文 ,还是规矩点比较好。对于其他的文章看老师的要求,我的老师就要求 我在写某种论文的时候不要在开头给出观点,而是在结尾提出观点。
雅思阅读的三大失分点介绍
雅思阅读查考的很全面,这也造成了雅思阅读失分点也有很多,具体的雅思阅读失分点有哪些呢?下面就来看看小编为大家收集整理的雅思阅读失分点,分享给大家,希望对大家有所帮助,文中观点仅供参考。下面和小编一起来看看吧:
雅思阅读失分点一:遇到生词,束手无策,无法正常进行阅读和做题
雅思阅读考试文章来源于国外原版的期刊或杂志,话题覆盖面广,科技,自然,环保,社会,文化,工作,生物,地理等无不涉及,所以遇到生词在情理之中。但一部分烤鸭遇到生词后就信心全失,慌乱至极,打破了自己原有的阅读节奏和速度,做题时也因为生词被卡壳,结果题目不仅没有解出,还影响了后面的做题速度和时间,可谓“一发动而迁全身”。对此,专家认为,生词的出现在所难免,只要大家有基本的词汇量,完全可以将生词的问题逐一击破。
A. 有时候生词属于比较专业的词汇,它们的出现不是为了考察考生的词汇量,更多的是检阅大家的应变和判断能力。尤其在题目中出现的所谓生词,更是可以坏事变好事,成为考生定位答案的线索词。比如:在剑桥7 “Why pagodas don't fall
down”一文,5-10题的分类题中第6题“tiles on eaves”,很可能考生在三个单词中有两个都不认识,这时候如何是好呢?首先,先观察这两个生词的词性。在介词“on”的前后,且分别加了“s”, 可以判断是名词。在这篇建筑类的文章中论及我们不认识的名词,想必不是日常词汇,所以完全可以把“tiles”和“eaves”作为定位词去原文寻找答案。
B. 有时候生词的含义可以在上下文中直接得到。在雅思阅读文章时遇到的生词,有相当一部分的含义可以通过多种猜测单词的方法得到,所以,在生词的周围或上下文寻找其解释不失为有效途径。
var cpro_psid =“u2572954”; var cpro_pswidth =966; var cpro_psheight =120;
例如,剑桥4的文章“How much higher? How much
faster?”中,有这样一个句子:“One of the most important newmethodologies is biomechanics, the study of the body in
motion.” “biomechanics”这个单词从构词法上看,我们只能够知道其和生物有关,此时,看后面的同位语部分就能很好的帮我们解释这个词的意思,直接且易懂,即对身体在运动状态下的研究。
雅思阅读失分点二:不能权衡做题的优先性,无法把握做题时间
很多烤鸭在面对雅思阅读考试时,都会感叹时间不够,有的'考生会剩下半篇文章没有读完,更有甚者,一个小时只够用来做两篇文章。其中做题速度无法达到要求的原因有很多,词汇量,阅读方法,做题技巧无一不是。此外,还有一个很重要的因素:不会取舍,不会衡量做题的优先性。专家提示,雅思阅读3篇文章,存在难易程度的差别。考生应选择自己擅长或熟悉的话题文章优先做。而对一篇文章而言,做题顺序可以如下排布:Heading题 ----填空型题(表格,图示,简答,summary, 完成句子) ---- 判断题 ----选择型题(单选,多选),平均每篇文章的做题时间控制在20min, 如时间到,还有少量题目(1-2题)没有做完,可放宽少许时间完成。若还余留多题未完成,建议先舍弃,做下一篇文章,因为不排除下一篇文章,看似文章话题难,但题目容易的情况。难度系数高的题目在每个人面前都一样,我们希望确保容易的题目百分百的拿下。
雅思阅读失分点三:对题目考点把握不清,不知如何确定keywords
很多考生在平时的练习和考场上面对划keywords总是单一的跟着感觉走,或是将一道题目中大部分的词都划下来作为keywords, 完全失了方向和重点,直接导致答案很难在原文锁定。所以,keywords是对题目的浓缩,也是题目的线索词,更是考点。考生们应该在平时的课堂和练习中,多加总结考点词的特点,以达到用一到两个词就涵盖整个题目的效果。利用keywords定位答案,更集中目标,更有方向性。例如:在剑桥7,“Why pagodas don't fall down”的分类题中,“size of eaves up to half width of the building”, 这道题目看似比较长,信息多,其实如果了解数字是一个考点,就能果断划出half这个keywords,且根据做题经验,预测到其在原文必定会变换形式成fifty percent。如果在原文寻找答案前就把握了以上这些,找起来自然速度快了许多。
无论考试还是练习,错误在所难免,失分也是情理之中,但如果我们能从失分点中获得经验和新的认知,失分点会骤变为优势。雅思阅读的提高不仅仅是话题单词的记忆,题型技巧的掌握,如果能从错误中学习总结,相信会更加有效。
篇2:雅思写作失分原因分析
很多烤鸭都喊雅思写作难写,事实上,大部分问题还是出在自己。今天就带大家了解10个失分最严重的单词/短语的滥用和正确用法,希望可以帮到大家。
雅思写作:烤鸭们失分最严重的10个写作错误
1 At last
很多人在应该用“finally”或 “lastly”的地方用“at last”。
“at last” 即使跟另外那两个单词一样,可以被译成中文的“最终”或“最后”,但它们还是有不一样的用法。
我们为了谈论某一个过了很长时间后才被完成的事情会用“at last”。通常,我们对完成事情的时间长度不满意才用“at last”。
比如:我等了整整两个小时,她十点半终于到了。
I waited for a full two hours. At last she arrived at half past ten.
我找了两年工作,也参加了50多个面试。我两周前终于被招聘了。
I looked for a job for two years and did over 50 interviews. At last, I got hired two weeks ago.
在以上两句话,我们也可以用“finally”代替“at last”。
但以下的这些例子里,我们就只能用“finally”或 “lastly”,并不能用“at last”。
Firstly........... Secondly.............. Lastly/Finally
你要先吃饭,然后洗盘子,最后把它们擦干净。
First you’ve got to eat, then wash the dishes and finally/lastly dry them.
最终,我对这件事情的最后一个观点是。
Finally/Lastly, my last point on this subject is....
2 In a word
很多雅思考生以为“in a word”像“finally”和“lastly”一样可以被用于文章的总结。事实上这个词组不经常出现在书面英语。这个词组在现实生活中出现最多的情况就是电视采访上。
通常节目时间很有限,马上就快要结束的时候,主持人就会问最后一个问题,然后为了提醒嘉宾时间很紧,就会加上“In a word”。
这样嘉宾就知道他没时间提供一个很完整很长的答案,得尽量直接用一个单词,通常“yes” or “no”回答。
例子:你打算明年退休吗?
In a word, 不打算。
Do you plan to retire next year? In a word.
In a word, no.
在你看来,谁将赢得世界杯?
In a word, 德国.
In your opinion, who will win the World Cup?
In a word, Germany.
3 Weather/Pollution
在中文里好像不怎么分别【污染】与【天气】那两件事。那导致很多雅思考生在写关于污染的作文时,错用weather(天气)那个单词。英语的weather是自然现象,只是自然现象,所以weather和pollution (污染)是两回事。长期来看,严重的pollution当然可以影响世界的weather。
可是当被问到某一个地方的weather怎么样时,英语母语人不会考虑到pollution。他会谈到那边的温度,雨量,那边下不下雪等。
例子:墨西哥城的天气怎么样?
我不太喜欢,夏天太热并且空气污染很严重。
How’s the weather in Mexico City?
I don’t really like it, it’s too hot in summer. Another thing I don’t like is the air pollution there.
跟以上话题有关的一个更常见的错误是:把用于表达雾霾的意思的单词用错了。
很多人都用“haze”,“mist”,“fog”那三个单词中的某一个,但它们也只是自然现象,相当于汉语的“雾气”。
非自然的,由于污染产生的雾霾是:“smog”或“air pollution”。
4 Good to your health
一般来说介词的正确使用对外语学生来讲挺难掌握。在英语里,某人对另外一个人好是:“to be good to someone”。但某一个东西对其他东西好,比如对人的健康好,则是“to be good for something” (e.g. one’s health)。
例子:我真对我朋友好,每次一起吃饭我都让给他们买单的荣幸。
I’m really good to my friends, whenever we eat together I always give them the honor of paying the bill.
你不知道每天吃三次巧克力冰淇淋对身体不好吗?
是吗?那从明天开始我把早饭换到巧克力蛋糕!
Don’t you know that eating chocolate ice-cream three times a day is bad for your health?
Really? Ok, starting tomorrow I’ll change to chocolate cake for breakfast.
5 Government
大多数时候,当我们用英语谈到政府时,除非我们把它做为形容词(如:政府政策 government policies),我们还是前面用“the”,或者后面加个“s”。
如果我们谈论我们自己国家的政府那应该说“the government”,而当我们指全世界的所有政府时要说“governments”。很多学生一直用“government”,那个“the”或“s”都不加。
雅思写作不会要求你谈到你自己国家的情况。所有课题都是关于很广泛的在任何国家能发生的现象,因此应该用的单词是“governments”。
比如:可以做什么降低癌症发病率?政府应该在研究上花费更多钱。
What can be done to decrease cancer rates? Governments should spend more money on research.
我认为天气不好时政府应该允许学生放假。每当温度超出18度就该让大家享受太阳,每当在17度以下时,该让我们躲避寒冷!
I think governments should give students holidays whenever the weather is bad. Every time the temperature goes over 18 degrees, let everyone enjoy the sunshine, every time it’s under 17 degrees let everyone hide from the cold!
6 economy/economic/economics
很多人说中文是最难学会的外语之一。
他们可能有道理,但中文有一些容易的地方。
比如学会一个名词,你不用学相关的形容词。
a country’s economy是一个国家的经济
an economic crisis是一个经济危机
以及an economics professor也是一位教经济的教授。
但同时,中文的这个特点也给学英语的中国人带来很多困难。
一个中文单词可以代表两三个英语单词的意思,它们也会听起来很像,但这些英文单词实际上有的是动词,有的是名词,有的是形容词,会不一样。
最常见的错误之一是【经济】。此外,【健康】(health/healthy)和【无聊】(bored/boring)也常常被混淆。
例子:你好像不在乎自然环境。
不在乎,只要经济继续发展,我们可以造出更高的山,更长的河。
You don’t seem to care about the environment?
No I don’t, as long as the economy keeps developing, we can build taller mountains and longer rivers!
自从经济危机开始我就找不到工作。
哇,那大概你都没有上班了吗?
我是指是九十年代的经济危机!
Since the start of the economic crisis I haven’t been able to find work.
Wow, so you haven’t worked in around 10 years?
I mean the economic crisis in the 1990s!
你不上经济课吗?
男朋友那么有钱,我干嘛学经济!
You’re not going to your economics class?
With a boyfriend that rich, why study economics?
7 White collars
英语的“a white collar”(白色的领子),就是你真正会穿的那种白色衬衫有的那个领子。而那些在办公室上班的人,中文称为【白领】的则应该用英文“white collar workers”表达。
每当我看到学生写的类似这样的句子:“white collars usually take public transport to work”,我就会不由自主地想象一大堆脱离了衬衫的白色衣领在地铁站排队的景象!
例子:原来我蛮喜欢做白领,然后公司的IT部门封锁了淘宝。
At first I really liked white collar work, then the IT department blocked taobao!
8 to be used to/to get used to
“To be used to”是指已经习惯。
如:“I?m used to the food here.”(我已经习惯这边的食物)。
“To get used to”是指变习惯的过程。
如:“It will take a few months to get used to the food there。”(将需要几个月习惯那边的食物)。
有一些学生是把那两个词组搞混了,还有很多人哪怕知道了它们的区别,也还是会用选动词的形式。
我曾经看过类似:“He was get used to”/ “I will getting used to”/ “He must to get used to”/ “They are not be used to”等等错误的表达。
例子:明天有空吗?咱们十一点半一起吃早午饭吧?
我不习惯那么早起床!
Are you free tomorrow? Let’s meet for brunch at half eleven?
I’m not used to getting up so early!
你需要很长时间习惯泰国的食物吗?
是的,那边麦当劳的汉堡不太一样!
Did it take you a long time to get used to the food in Thailand?
Yes, the burgers in McDonald’s there are somewhat different.
9 even/even though/even if
这三个词汇有细微的差别。
很多雅思考生经常在应该用“even though”或“even if”的时候用“even”。
一般来说,单独的“even”是用于表达“连.....也....”,“甚至”的意思。
如:
他已经做完作业吗?
他甚至没打开书包。
Has he finished his homework?
He hasn’t even opened his school bag!
我们想表达“即使”或“虽然”或“尽管”的意思时,通常用“even though”或“even if”。
我们选它们中的哪一个取决于事情的可能性。
在谈论事实情况或已经发生的事情,我们用“even though”。
如:我即使刚吃完一整个比萨饼,我还是愿意吃提拉米苏。
Even though I just ate a full pizza, I’m still willing to have tiramisu.
“Even if”就像本身的“if”一样是用于谈论以后可能会发生的事情,以及我们想象的不可能的事情。
例子:
就算我死,也死得安心。
Then even if I die, I will die at ease.
10 A news
英语的“news”(新闻)是不可数名词。
一个新闻或一个消息是“a news story”或“some news”。
例子:这些新闻都是关于一只会踢踏舞的狗。
These news stories are all about a dog that can tap dance.
This news is all about a dog that can tap dance.
雅思写作满分范文之私家车造成的环境污染问题
The rising levels of congestion and air pollution found in most of the world's cities can be attributed directly to the rapidly increasing number of private cars in use. In order to reverse this decline in the quality of life in cities, attempts must be made to encourage people to use their cars less and public transport more.Discuss possible ways to encourage the use of public transport.
世界上大多数城市日益严重的交通堵塞和空气污染可以直接归因于私家车的快速增加。为了扭转城市生活质量下降的趋势,必须努力鼓励人们少开车,多乘坐公共交通工具。
讨论鼓励使用公共交通工具的可能方法。
Model Answer:
Anyone who lives in a city is aware of the increasing number of cars on the road and the kinds of problems this creates: traffic jams, air pollution and longer commuting periods. As economies grow and access to cars spreads to increasing numbers of people, this trend is likely to worsen. The solution, it would seem, is for governrnment to encourage the use of public transport in urban areas, thus decreasing dependence on the car.
任何生活在城市的人都知道路上的汽车越来越多,以及由此产生的各种问题:交通堵塞、空气污染和通勤时间延长。随着经济的增长和越来越多的人拥有汽车,这一趋势可能会恶化。看起来,解决办法是政府鼓励在城市地区使用公共交通,从而减少对汽车的依赖。
One way to stimulate public transport use is to make private car use more expensive and inconvenient. The introduction of tolls along urban motorways has been successfully employed in many cities. Other such measures are high-priced permits for parking in urban areas and the restriction of parking to a limited number of cars. Faced with high costs or no place to park, commuters would perhaps be more willing to abandon their cars in favour of buses or trains.
刺激公共交通使用的一个方法是提高私家车的使用成本和不便程度。城市高速公路收费的引入在许多城市都取得了成功。其他这类措施包括在城市地区停车的高价许可证和将停车限制在一定数量的汽车。面对高成本或没有停车的地方,通勤者可能更愿意放弃他们的汽车,而选择公共汽车或火车。
There are also less punishing ways of spurring public transport use. The construction of free car parks at suburban train stations has proven successful in quite a number of countries. This allows commuters to drive part of the way, but take public transport into the central, most congested, urban areas.
刺激公共交通使用的惩罚措施也较少。郊区火车站免费停车场的建设已在许多国家证明是成功的。这使得通勤者可以在一定程度上驾车,但乘坐公共交通工具进入最拥堵的市中心城区。
Indeed, making public transport more comfortable and convenient should work to attract more commuters and decrease traffic congestion. Public transport that is convenient and comfortable retains its passengers, much like any business that satisfies its customers. The more commuters committed to taking public transport, the less congestion on city streets.
事实上,让公共交通更舒适和方便应该能吸引更多的通勤者,减少交通堵塞。便利舒适的公共交通留住了乘客,就像任何让顾客满意的企业一样。乘坐公共交通的通勤者越多,城市街道上的拥堵就越少。

雅思写作满分范文
As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at the top are paid huge salaries. Just like movie stars, they live extravagantlifestyles with huge houses and cars.
由于媒体的不断关注,我国的体育专业人士已经成为明星和名人,而那些处于顶端的人则获得了巨额的薪水。就像电影明星一样,他们生活奢侈,拥有巨大的房子和汽车。
Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists, or even leading politicians who have the responsibilityof governing the country. However, sports salaries are not determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds. Instead, they reflect the public popularity of sport in general and the level of public support that successful stars can generate. So the notion of ‘fairness’ is not the issue.
许多人发现他们的报酬是不公平的,尤其是当把这些高薪与顶级外科医生或研究科学家,甚至是有责任治理国家的主要政治家的薪酬进行比较时。然而,体育收入并不取决于一个人对社会的贡献,或他或她所承担的责任水平。相反,它们反映了体育运动在公众中的普遍受欢迎程度,以及成功明星所能带来的公众支持程度。因此,“公平”的概念不是问题所在。
Those who feel that sports stars’ salaries are justified might argue that the number of professionals with real talent are very few, and the money is a recognition of the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful. Competition is constant and a player is tested every time they perform. in their relatively short career. The pressure from the media is intense and there is little privacy out of the spotlight. So all of thesefactors may justify the huge earnings.
那些认为体育明星的薪水是合理的人可能会争辩说,拥有真正才华的专业人士的数量非常少,而金钱是对一个人成功所需的技能和奉献精神的认可。竞争是持续的,玩家每次表现都会受到考验。在他们相对短暂的职业生涯中。来自媒体的压力很大,在聚光灯下几乎没有隐私可言。因此,所有这些因素可能证明巨额收益是合理的。
Personally, I think that the amount of money such sports stars make is more justified than the huge earnings of movie stars, but at the same time, it indicatesthat our society places more value on sport than on more essential professions and achievements.
就我个人而言,我认为这些体育明星赚的钱比电影明星的巨额收入更合理,但同时,它表明我们的社会更重视体育而不是更重要的职业和成就。
篇3:雅思阅读失分原因和解决方法
雅思阅读失分原因及解决办法
对于学生们在课上和做题中的有些情况,我把影响同学做好阅读题的原因和解决方法归为以下三个:
首先,当然是词汇。任何一篇内容相对复杂的阅读文章,都不可避免地出现大量生僻词语或者是难度相对较大的单词。从文章的选材而言,范围是十分丰富的,主要来自世界各国主要的英文报刊杂志,内容涉及任何一个国家的文化、经济、自然和科技等。而IELTS考试所考查的,是实际运用语言的能力,所以在考试中真正需要理解的单词,或是题目中真正考查到的单词,往往是英语阅读中的一些最核心的单词。这些单词虽然数量不多,难度不大,但却是必须掌握的。就考试而言,掌握6000左右的常用词汇,即大学六级大纲中所要求的词汇是必须的。
第二,复杂的句型结构。有些同学的词汇量已经达到了6000左右,但是依然感觉读不懂文章,这就是因为文章中充斥着大量结构复杂难以把握的复杂句。如:The challenge now is to develop policies and practices based on a presumption of shared responsibility between men and women, and a presumption that there are potential benefits for men and women, as well as for families and the community, if there is greater gender equality in the responsibilities and pleasures of family life. 这是一个相对复杂的句子,主干是the challenge now is to develop policies and practices, 从based on到句子的结尾处是由过去分词短语充当的状语。后一个presumption后面有一个由that引导的从句,充当presumption的同位语。在同位语的后面,有一个if 引导的条件状语从句。一般而言,对同学们造成障碍的是并列句或并列复合句,倒装结构,所以在训练时可以精挑一个语段做仔细分析。
第三,题型多样化。这个障碍使原本已经拥有相当英语语言实力的考生,在考试中因为缺乏对题型的理解,或是被众多题型干扰,不能正常发挥。一些必考题型如list of headings, summary, T/F/NG等,可以作为练习重点。如summary题是很多同学感到头痛的题型,普遍感到非常难找。其实不然,只要记住两大原则即可。原则一,顺序原则。summary题的答案排列顺序,必定与文章的行文顺序一致。原则二,完整的summary,不仅应该能够体现文章本身所表达的思想含义,而且必须是符合语法规律的英语文章。所以根据语法也可以进行判断。
在准备考试的过程中,除了要做IELTS考题之外,还要进行泛读和快速阅读。泛读可以选择一些英美主流媒体的文章,在网站上可以找到,目的是熟悉单词和句型。快速阅读就是用扫描文章的方法对其结构有大致的了解,并把握其主旨。同时,在重点句子和词汇上做出标记。这种方法对阅读考试帮助极大,平时可多加练习。另外,为了提高阅读的速度还要养成良好的阅读习惯,不能边看边用嘴跟着读,眼、嘴并用必会降低阅读速度;一旦发现生词(这种情况绝大多数同学都肯定要遇到),先不要紧张,要通过英语构词法(前缀、词根和后缀)来分析推测词义,或结合上下文、前后词语去猜测,如果根据上下文及前后词语还是无法确切了解其真正含义,可以再看一下这个词对整个句子所构成的影响是肯定的,还是否定的,实际上这对你理解作者的意图已足够了,实在不行就做上记号,将来看一看是否影响答题,如无影响就坚决忽略。
雅思阅读之强调句的表达方式
(1)“it”引导的强调句
1)It + is/was + 被强调部分 + that/which/who/whom/whose + 句子的其他成分:
在这一结构中,如果被强调部分是人,用“that”,“who”,“whom”;如果被强调部分是物,用“that”或“which“;强调状语时,只能用”that“,不能用”when“,“where” 和”why“;强调的主语是复数,主句的谓语动词也得用单数。
It was uncle Bill、whose telephone number I lost.
It was we that/who arrived there first.
It was because it rained heavily that they didn’t go outing.
[注]①强调的成分通常为主语、宾语、宾补、状语以及由名词短语表示的主语补足语等。
It is Alice that/who looks pretty.(强调主语)
It was the wall that they painted white yesterday.(强调宾语)
It was yesterday that he put the wall white.(强调状语)
It Was the chairman of the Trade Union that we elected.(强调宾补)
②强调句中”who“或”that“后的谓语动词,应与前面被强调的名词或代词在人称、时态和数上保持一致。
It is I who have responsible for the organization.
It was he that/who painted the wall white yesterday.
③作表语的形容词不能用于强调句式。
误:It is beautiful that Helen is.
He is taller by far than any other student in his class.
He is by far the taller of the two.
④“No matter”+“关系代词/关系副词”加强语气:
No matter what you may say,1 won’t believe you.
No matter when our motherland needs us.we’ll respond to her call.
No matter how busy the president is,he often takes time off to give talks to the students.
⑤其他形容词、副词或词组用于加强语气:
Put it right in the middle.
Tom is absolutely right in doing this job.
This is just the word the author uses in his article.
I am anything but a kill-joy(扫兴的人).(=I am not a kill-joy at all.)
He is nothing but a worker.(=He is only a worker.)
He is nothing if not careful.(=He is very careful.)
They are the truest of friends.
The very act stepping on this soil was for me a far greater adventure.
The newspaper reporters got excited at the very sight of the Nobel Prize Winner.
It is beautiful song that Helen is singing.
2)“It+情态动词+be+被强调部分+that+…”表示强调:
It must be Mike that is listening to the music.

It would have been at that time that he went to live in London.
3)“It is/was + not until+被强调部分+that+…”表示强调
篇4:4大雅思阅读失分点分析
雅思阅读失分点之词汇不足
在考试中遇到生词,束手无策,无法正常进行阅读和做题。雅思阅读考试文章来源于国外原版的期刊或杂志,话题覆盖面广,科技,自然,环保,社会,文化,工作,生物,地理等无不涉及,所以遇到生词在情理之中。但一部分考生遇到生词后就信心全失,慌乱至极,打破了自己原有的阅读节奏和速度,做题时也因为生词被卡壳,结果题目不仅没有解出,还影响了后面的做题速度和时间,可谓“一发动而动全身”。对此,专家认为,生词的出现在所难免,只要大家有基本的词汇量,完全可以将生词的问题逐一击破。
雅思阅读失分点之词不答题症
这类考试往往是知道答案的出处,但是在答案的选择上经常弄错。很多时候他们对句子里基本的单词都认识,就是连到一起意思就乱套了。其实说到底着就是对长难句的分析不到位,当句子拎不清主干和从句,意思理解上也就费劲了。我们看如下这句话:Research carried out by scientists in the United States has shown that the proportion of people over 65 suffering from the most common age-related medical problems is . 作为一道填空题,这句话很少有学生能够一遍看明白。首先我们会发现句子的主语是research,提取主干的话,它的谓语动词应该是has shown, 宾语的位置换成了一句话,且答案空在这句话上,故我们题干的中心又落在到了这个宾语从句上,那么从句里很明显主语是the proportion of people 那么谓语动词成了is,根据词性搭配,我们要填的词判断是个形容词,所以把句子简化一下,我们就可理解是Research has shown that the proportion of people is 怎么样,然后通过题干中 United States,over 65快速定位,锁定答案。
从上面的例子可以看出,大家在阅读中是一定要培养自己独立读长难句的能力的。当然,这也绝非短时间内能够突破的,还在于大家平时对文章的精读。所以建议是大家可以在每做完一篇文章后,在文章中挑出至少5个自己看起来费力的句子,把它们彻彻底底弄明白,因为这不仅可以修炼阅读的内力,还可以提升写作的功力,可谓一箭双雕。
篇5:4大雅思阅读失分点分析
慢工出细活绝对是中国考生备考雅思阅读的一大误区。在平常的备考过程中没有真正考试的紧迫感,遇见生词立即就求助字典,每一句话都弄明白之后再去做题目,这样的情况下所得的分数对于实际考试没有任何参考性和可比性。雅思考试一个小时的时间完成3篇文章、40道题目是非常紧凑的。如果考生在平时第一遍做题的时候没有能够模拟实战的感觉,那么在考试的时候也很难集中精力去做题目。还有一点就是,遇见生词就查字典这样的习惯也不利于培养考生猜测词义等的基本阅读能力。当然有些基础比较好的考生,他们不会遇见生词就查字典,但往往更加倾向于不分主次信息,完全精读。殊不知雅思考试考察的是学员各种阅读方法结合的能力。完全精读的话,不利于考生培养精读泛读结合的阅读方式,另外也会造成考生没有办法保证在真实考试中可以在规定的时间内完成所有题目。
篇6:4大雅思阅读失分点分析

雅思阅读:No more whirly-splat
ALTHOUGH rare, engine failure is a stressful thing for a helicopter pilot
to have to deal with. The pilot of a fixed-wing aircraft that loses power can at
least rely on those wings to provide him with lift until his plane's forward
velocity falls below its stall speed. A helicopter, by contrast, derives both
propulsion and lift from its blades. If they stop rotating, a rapid and terminal
encounter with the ground beckons.
To prevent that, the blades of most helicopters have a special clutch that
disengages them from the engine if the engine stops. The pilot has then to
change the pitch of his craft to allow it to enter a mode called autorotation,
in which the rush of air as it descends keeps the blades whirling, thus
providing lift that slows the fall. The transition to autorotation is perilous,
though, because it involves a reversal of the airflow through the blades. And
even if he survives that, the pilot has to perform a second manoeuvre, known as
flaring, just before he hits the ground. This involves pitching the machine's
nose up, in order to reduce its forward velocity and increase the speed of
rotation of the blades—and thus the amount of lift they provide—to soften the
landing.
Both of these maneuvers would be less hazardous if the pilot could call on
a second source of power to turn the blades for a few seconds while he was
performing them, and Jean-Michel Billig and his team at Euro copter (part of
EADS, an aerospace and defence group) hope to provide just that. They are
introducing into helicopters the fashionable concept of hybrid-electric
drive.
Electric motors provide lots of torque—exactly the sort of twisting action
needed to turn rotor blades. Mr Billing's team have therefore fitted one of the
firm's AS350 light helicopters with such a motor, and some lithium-ion batteries
to power it. They are now testing the arrangement to work out how much power is
needed to keep the craft aloft during the transition to autorotation, and during
flaring. Mr Billig thinks Euro copter will be able to offer the system
commercially in about a year's time.
That raises the question of whether it might be feasible to build an
all-electric helicopter. At the moment, the answer is no. As with cars, the
amount of charge a battery can hold is insufficient for robust, everyday use of
the vehicle without the security blanket of an internal combustion engine. But
batteries are improving, and if they were good enough then an electrically
powered helicopter would (like an electric car) be a more elegant solution to
the problem of locomotion than the serial explosions that keep an
internal-combustion engine ticking over.
雅思阅读素材积累:Reviving autopsy
TECHNOLOGY advances not only through new inventions, but also by the
imaginative application of old ones. And one of the most ancient forms of
scientific investigation, the post-mortem autopsy, may be ripe for just such a
technological upgrade. According to a paper in this week's Lancet, published by
Ian Roberts of the John Radcliffe Hospital, in Oxford, it may soon be time to
put away the scalpel and the retractor clamp, and to replace them with the body
scanner.
The study of death is never a cheerful topic, but it has gone through a
particularly gloomy patch over the past few decades. A recent tally by America's
Centres for Disease Control and Prevention showed that in only 8.5% of
deaths in America were investigated by autopsy. In 1972 that figure was 19.3%.
Britain's coroners are more active, but perhaps not more accurate. Twenty-two
percent of deaths in the United Kingdom lead to an autopsy. According to a
government review, however, one in four is of miserable quality. The upshot in
both cases is not just that the cause of individual deaths may be misascribed.
More seriously, data about the processes of disease are lost, and those diseases
are thus not as well understood as they might have been. Squeamish relatives of
the deceased, too, often do not like the idea of bodies being cut up at the
behest of coroners. Britain's health department therefore commissioned Dr
Roberts to study whether scanning dead bodies in the way that is routine for
living ones would help. His conclusion is that it would.
Rather than slicing the body with a knife, scanning slices them with
radiation. Computerised tomography (CT) uses X-rays to collect information from
many angles, and a lot of processing power to convert that information into
cross-sectional images of a body's inner tissues. In forensic cases CT scans are
often used to spot fractures and haemorrhages. Dr Roberts found them adept at
noticing diseased arteries, as well. The other widespread scanning technique,
magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI), uses radio waves and is best suited for
exploring the detail of soft tissues.
Though both of these technologies have been around for a long time, they
have had only limited use in autopsies. America's authorities conduct CT scans
of dead soldiers—but such scans are employed to augment traditional post
mortems, not replace them. Some coroners in England, spurred on by the religious
objections of Jews and Muslims, do allow scans rather than conventional
autopsies in certain cases. But the accuracy of these scans is unknown. Dr
Roberts is the first to provide data on whether scanning might replace
conventional methods.
He and his colleagues examined 182 bodies in Manchester and Oxford.
Radiologists studied CT and MRI scans of these bodies, made diagnoses based on
them, explained their confidence in these diagnoses, and judged whether the
scans might thus preclude the need for a full autopsy. Within 12 hours of each
scan, a pathologist then performed a conventional autopsy, so that Dr Roberts
could compare the new methods with the old.
The scans were far from perfect. The rate of discrepancy between the cause
of death, as determined by radiology and as determined by conventional autopsy,
was 32% for CT scans, 43% for MRI and 30% for a combination of CT and MRI. Most
troubling, the scans had difficulty showing heart disease, a common killer.
However, radiologists were good at identifying which diagnoses were sound and
which needed to be re-evaluated by a full autopsy. When they felt confident in
their diagnoses—which was the case for 34% of CT investigations and 42% of
MRIs—the discrepancy between the results from scanning and those from autopsies
was lower. For CT scans, it was just 16%.
That is still a significant gap, of course. But not all of it is caused
because traditional methods are better. For one body, for example, scanning
revealed a lethal stroke that dissection missed.All this suggests that scans
might play a useful role in determining causes of death. When a radiologist is
confident in the diagnosis from a scan, a traditional autopsy might be
unnecessary. When he is less confident, his scan could still be a useful guide
for the wielder of the knife.
Automating autopsies by using scanners might also make them cheaper, by
speeding the process up. And it could be done with otherwise-redundant machines
that have been replaced for use on live patients with modern devices which give
off less radiation. That would get rid of the need to buy new kit to cope with
the extra demand for scans. A thorough study of the costs of both approaches
would be needed, of course, and traditional autopsies are unlikely to disappear
completely. But for some deaths, a scan will likely prove better than a
scalpel.
篇7:雅思听力的失分陷阱
雅思听力的失分陷阱
陷阱一:信息的拆分和整合
这一个陷阱表现得比较明显的就是数字。很多烤鸭们现在都知道重点靠后原则,所以答案中往往会写听到的一个数字。绝大部分情况下这么做是没错的。但是还是有小部分的情况,需要烤鸭们很小心。举个例子来说,录音中说一个学校里男生有500人,女生有480人,但在题干中,问的却是这个学校总共有多少人。这时候就需要烤鸭们把两个数字加起来。
陷阱二:次序混乱
次序混乱是指录音中说话顺序和题干顺序不同,在一般表格题和多项选择题同时出现的section中出现的几率很大,这时候就要烤鸭们在时间预测和判断,再采用次序混乱的解题方法。
陷阱三:同义替换
同义替换是雅思听力中的一个难点和重点,各种题型中都会出现替换。同义替换包括词替换、词组替换、主被动替换以及加减关系的替换。
a。词替换:指简单意义上的两个词语的替换,如录音中说的是pressure,但在题干中出现的却是stress。
b。词组替换:如把regard…as替换成consider…as。
c。主被动替换:如把Populationshift has caused the pressure替换成The pressure has been caused bypopulation shift。
d。加减关系的替换:加减关系的替换是同义替换中比较复杂的一种替换方式。如在录音中Every yearhe staysin London for5months。在题干中问的是Every year he is out of London for______months。这时候就需要烤鸭们识破这个加减关系替换的陷阱,把正确的答案做出来。
陷阱四:主客观混淆
很多烤鸭对这个陷阱不是非常敏感,常常在不知不觉中就把答案写错了。在做雅思听力题的时候一定要看清题干,看要求回答的到底是主观还是客观的情况。举例来说,一个教授和一个学生正在就论文延期的情况讨论,教授说论文延期的理由只能是生病或批准的事假,学生说是因为正在做另外一个重要的论文;而在题干中问的是教授说的理由。那么这时候烤鸭们就一定要注意了。
陷阱五:补充选项
很多烤鸭们对补充选项陷阱了解很少。补充选项是指部分答案已经出现,但是还有一部分答案在后面出现,需要补充在前面的答案中。举个例子 , Paris is a city of fashion andanother city isNew York。补充选项也是一个比较难判断的陷阱,但是有一些标志词可以帮助烤鸭判断这题会不会出现补充选项。这些标志词是:another, other, like, similar, the same…as…,also, too。一旦出现这些标志词,烤鸭们就要小心标志词附近的信息点,判断其能否作为补充选项。
陷阱六:气候地理问题
这类题对于中国的烤鸭们来说,问题还是比较明显的。举个例子来说,有一段关于sharks inAustralia的录音,其中有一句话说From December toFebruary;而在题干中问的是这时候是什么季节。大部分烤鸭们毫不犹豫地就选择了winter,那么就又掉入了出题者的陷阱中。朗阁雅思培训www.longre.com
提醒广大考生对于雅思听力这种气候地理方面的问题,考生们一定要非常小心,平时可以多看些国外的人文风情,地理环境,气候条件等方面的书籍,多补充这方面的知识,以便更好的应对雅思听力。
雅思听力中美语与英语拼写的区别
今天为备考中的烤鸭们整理出了雅思听力考试中要注意的地方:美语与英语拼写及用词的区别,供大家参考。
注意雅思听力中美语与英语拼写及用词差异性,具体几点如下:
1. 单词拼法上的差异(雅思听力填答案时要注意)
美语与英语在单词拼法上的差异主要有两种:一种是单词发生单变使得个别字母不相同,另一种是美语单词较为简化。
前者如enquire(英)与inquire(美),这两个单词的个字母不相同,但词意相同,都是商品交易前,一方向对方洽询有关商品的价格、数量、交货时间及付款条件等的询价,也叫询盘;“车胎”英国用tyre,美国用tire;“睡衣”英语用pajamas,美语用pyjamas.这类单词仅一个字母不同,发音上有的相同,有的相似。
2. 用词差异
美语与英语在用词上的差异主要表现在以下两个方面:
(1)同一个词在英美语中表示不同概念。
某些单词在美语和英语里有着不同的含义,表示不同的概念或事物,很容易造成误解。我们在商业交往中,必须小心谨慎,特别是在外贸洽谈、订货、发货方面,要注意辨别,以免因文字含义的不同而引起大错,造成损失。
我们知道,first floor在英语是指二楼,而美语则指一楼,英语指一楼时要用ground floor.这是一般常识,而其它单词就可能容易混淆。
(2)同一概念在英美语中用不同词表达。
这类词语两者之间的差异尤为明显,而且数量大。
例如:“电梯”英语是lift,美语是elevator,“履历”、“简历”英语用C.V. (全称是Curriculum Vitae),美语用resume;“电影”英语用film,美语用movie;“展销会”、“博览会”英语常用fair,美语常用trade show;“有限责任公司”英语习惯上是在公司的名称下加Ltd, L'd,或Ld.,美语则使用Inc.(=Incorporated),如:The British Tobacco co. Ltd.(英国烟草股份有限公司). The American Products co, Inc. (美国物产股份有限公司)
篇8:托福阅读失分是什么原因
托福阅读失分是什么原因
1. 做题目太快了,大家都追求速度,好像速度快了成绩就好,托福的阅读相对而言还是比较简单的,考试的中心是准确率,而不是速度!
2. 单词你认为背出就背出来了吗?对于单词的理解深度很重要!你知道的应该是在文中它准确的内在英文含义,而不单是中文含意!
3. 做题目的方法很重要,我建议大家读文章时一句一句的读。其实你仔细读了,托福的文章是不会像GRE文章那样搞脑子的!
4. 对于托福词汇题目的问题,可能考的比较难一些,托福的词汇会考到具体一些词汇的用法,而且这些词汇很可能是同义词。我建议大家用词根和词缀的方法背单词,因为这样对于理解单词的含义是最科学的,而且记住之后一般不会忘记。
5. 关于阅读中的单词替换问题,我觉得应该属于语法的范畴,仔细把文章中句子的结构搞搞懂,主,谓,宾画画干净,应该没有问题的!

托福阅读模拟题:诺贝尔和平奖
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded annually and the first woman to win this prize was Baroness Bertha Felicie Sophie von Suttner in 1905. In fact, her work inspired the creation of the Prize. The first American woman to win this prize was Jane Addams, in 1931. However, Addams is best known as the founder of Hull House.
Jane Addams was born in 1860, into a wealthy family. She was one of a small number of women in her generation to graduate from college. Her commitment to improving the lives of those around her led her to work for social reform and world peace. In the 1880s Jane Addams travelled to Europe. While she was in London, she visited a ‘settlement house’ called Toynbee Hall. Inspired by Toynbee Hall, Addams and her friend, Ellen Gates Starr, opened Hull House in a neighborhood of slums in Chiacago in 1899. Hull House provided a day care center for children of working mothers, a community kitchen, and visiting nurses. Addams and her staff gave classes in English literacy, art, and other subjects. Hull House also became a meeting place for clubs and labor unions. Most of the people who worked with Addams in Hull House were well educated, middle-class women. Hull House gave them an opportunity to use their education and it provided a training ground for careers in social work.
Before World War I, Addams was probably the most beloved woman in America. In a newspaper poll that asked, “Who among our contemporaries are of the most value to the community?”, Jane Addams was rated second, after Thomas Edison. When she opposed America’s involvement in World War I, however, newspaper editors called her a traitor and a fool, but she never changed her mind. Jane Addams was a strong champion of several other causes. Until 1920, American women could not vote. Addams joined in the movement for women’s suffrage and was a vice president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. She was a founding member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and was president of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. . Her reputation was gradually restored during the last years of her life. She died of cancer in 1935.

篇9:雅思阅读失分点提醒
雅思阅读失分点提醒 题目要求需细读
比如有的考生对题型不熟,考试时不确定题目属于什么题型,结果导致解题技巧用错。其实这种情况下,考生完全可以通过题目说明来确定题型。如完成句子题有两种,第一种是要求在原文选词填空。另一种是在给定答案中选择答案完成句子,而考生们往往把第二种误当成配对题,以为题目是”乱序的“,第一题没找出答案就直接全部放弃了;而实际上考生若读题目说明”Complete each sentence with the correct ending“,就会知道,它只不过是完成句子题型的一种,基本遵循”顺序原则“,而且属于”送分题“,虽然第一题可能难点儿,但是其他的会非常简单,故称为”送分题“,考生放弃实在太可惜了。
在雅思阅读的是非无判断题中,题目说明中往往会提出特殊要求,即有的文章要求考生写TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN,而有的文章中则要求考生们写YES/NO/NOT GIVEN。考生若没有认真读题目说明,往往会把答案写错,题目明明要求考生们写YES/NO/NOT GIVEN的,而有的考生则全写成了TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN,最终该考生的成绩可想而知。
雅思阅读考试虽然重点考查考生们定位所需信息的能力,但在摘要题的题目说明中往往会有提示,告知考生题目对应的原文内容的位置,如”Complete the summary of the last two paragraphs“(提示答案在最后两段里定位,而不需要全文定位了),这样就在一定程度上降低了考生解答该题的难度。
但有的考生由于粗心,却忽略该考试说明,从文章第一段开始定位题目在原文中对应内容的位置,结果只能白白浪费时间,不仅定位不到,而且由于着急,严重影响考试时的心情,最终到考试结束该题也没有解答出来。
在雅思细节配对题或者在给定单词中选答案的摘要题中,往往会出现”NB:any letter /word can be used more than once\"(提示题目中有答案会重复使用),而有的考生则会忽略该提示,在解题过程中,如果有5道题,选项也是5个,该考生在解答最后一道题时,就会不回原文定位,而直接把剩下的没有被用过的选项作为最后一题的答案,而其实,由于答案会被重复使用,所以有的选项不会被用到,因此这样解题肯定是错误的。
雅思阅读考试填空题在雅思考试中虽然题量不是很多,但考试频率却非常高。而填空题,不管是摘要题还是送分题(表格题、流程题、完成句子题等)都会有一定的字数限制的要求,如:Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer(不超过两个单词,即答案必须为一个单词或二个单词)。很多考生明明定位准确,但在确定答案时却出现问题,他们往往在字数限制之内无法准确确定答案。

篇10:雅思阅读考试失分点
雅思阅读考试失分点
雅思阅读考试失分点一:遇到生词,束手无策,无法正常进行阅读和做题
雅思考试阅读的文章来源于国外原版的期刊或杂志,话题覆盖面广,科技,自然,环保,社会,文化,工作,生物,地理等无不涉及,所以对于雅思阅读备考生来讲,遇到生词在情理之中。但一部分烤鸭遇到生词后就信心全失,慌乱至极,打破了自己原有的阅读节奏和速度,做题时也因为生词被卡壳,结果题目不仅没有解出,还影响了后面的做题速度和时间,可谓“一发动而迁全身”。对此,专家认为,生词的出现在所难免,只要大家有基本的词汇量,完全可以将生词的问题逐一击破。
A. 有时候生词属于比较专业的词汇,它们的出现不是为了考察考生的词汇量,更多的是检阅大家的应变和判断能力。尤其在题目中出现的所谓生词,更是可以坏事变好事,成为考生定位答案的线索词。
比如:在剑桥7 “Why pagodas don't fall down”一文,5-10题的分类题中第6题“tiles on eaves”,很可能考生在三个单词中有两个都不认识,这时候如何是好呢?首先,先观察这两个生词的词性。在介词“on”的前后,且分别加了“s”, 可以判断是名词。在这篇建筑类的文章中论及我们不认识的名词,想必不是日常词汇,所以完全可以把“tiles”和“eaves”作为定位词去原文寻找答案。
B. 有时候生词的含义可以在上下文中直接得到。在雅思阅读文章时遇到的生词,有相当一部分的含义可以通过多种猜测单词的方法得到,所以,在生词的周围或上下文寻找其解释不失为有效途径。
例如,剑桥4的文章“How much higher? How much faster?”中,有这样一个句子:“One of the most important new methodologies is biomechanics, the study of the body in motion.” “biomechanics”这个单词从构词法上看,我们只能够知道其和生物有关,此时,看后面的同位语部分就能很好的帮我们解释这个词的意思,直接且易懂,即对身体在运动状态下的研究。
雅思阅读考试失分点二:不能权衡做题的优先性,无法把握做题时间
很多烤鸭在面对雅思阅读考试时,都会感叹时间不够,有的考生会剩下半篇文章没有读完,更有甚者,一个小时只够用来做两篇文章。其中做题速度无法达到要求的原因有很多,词汇量,阅读方法,做题技巧无一不是。此外,还有一个很重要的因素:不会取舍,不会衡量做题的优先性。专家提示,雅思阅读3篇文章,存在难易程度的差别。考生应选择自己擅长或熟悉的话题文章优先做。而对一篇文章而言,做题顺序可以如下排布:Heading题 ---- 填空型题(表格,图示,简答,summary, 完成句子) ---- 判断题 ---- 选择型题(单选,多选),平均每篇文章的做题时间控制在20min, 如时间到,还有少量题目(1-2题)没有做完,可放宽少许时间完成。若还余留多题未完成,建议先舍弃,做下一篇文章,因为不排除下一篇文章,看似文章话题难,但题目容易的情况。难度系数高的题目在每个人面前都一样,我们希望确保容易的题目百分百的拿下。
雅思阅读考试失分点三:对题目考点把握不清,不知如何确定keywords
很多考生在平时的练习和考场上面对划keywords总是单一的跟着感觉走,或是将一道题目中大部分的词都划下来作为keywords, 完全失了方向和重点,直接导致答案很难在原文锁定。所以,keywords是对题目的浓缩,也是题目的线索词,更是考点。考生们应该在平时的课堂和练习中,多加总结考点词的特点,以达到用一到两个词就涵盖整个题目的效果。利用keywords定位答案,更集中目标,更有方向性。
例如:在剑桥7,“Why pagodas don't fall down”的分类题中,“size of eaves up to half width of the building”, 这道题目看似比较长,信息多,其实如果了解数字是一个考点,就能果断划出half这个keywords, 并且根据做题经验,预测到其在原文必定会变换形式成fifty percent。如果在原文寻找答案前就把握了以上这些,找起来自然速度快了许多。
雅思阅读材料:为什么老是睡不醒
1.Poor quality of sleep 睡眠质量差
It doesn't matter how long you sleep for if you're it's low-quality rest; you'll just wake up tired. Poor-quality sleep can be caused by factors such as sleeping with a pet, drinking caffeinated beverages late in the day, or having too much noise in the background。
无论你睡了多长时间,如果睡眠的质量很差的话,那么你起来后还是会觉得疲累的。造成睡眠质量差的原因有很多,比如抱着宠物一起睡,在临睡前喝了太多含咖啡因的饮料,睡眠时有太多杂音等。
2.Waking up in the wrong phase 起床的时间不对
Your sleep is split into cycles, and you might've woken up during the non-REM stage, which is a state of very deep sleep. Try to shoot for waking up during a REM phase, because then your body will be better prepared to wake up。
睡眠也是有不同周期的。如果你在非快速眼动阶段(non-REM stage),即深睡眠时期醒过来,那么就会觉得好像没睡醒一样。所以,要尽量在快速眼动睡眠(REM)阶段醒过来,这样你就能为起床做好更充分的准备。
3.Medication hangover 药物副作用
The effects of certain medications that cause drowsiness can linger until the next morning. Check with your doctor to see if you can adjust the dosage or change medications。
有些药物的副作用会使你在第二天早上仍然感到昏昏沉沉想睡觉。这时,你应该和医生商量一下,看看能不能调整一下药物的剂量或者换一种药。
4.Medical condition 身体状况
Certain medical conditions like sleep apnea can disrupt your night's rest. Disorders like depression can also cause you feel drained of energy, a symptom that can contribute to your grogginess。
有些身体状况也会让人睡不好,比如睡眠呼吸窒息。抑郁也会使人精神不济,表现出来的症状就是萎靡不振。

雅思阅读材料:纽约抢匪30分钟抢3家银行
A robber in a hurry struck at three banks along a stretch of Kings Highway in Brooklyn in a span of about 30 minutes on Friday afternoon, the police said。
In the first and third robberies, tellers handed over cash to the robber, the police said, but he left empty-handed in the second encounter。
The police do not believe that the man displayed a weapon, though they were still gathering information late Friday afternoon。
The mini-crime wave began at around 2:15 p.m., when the robber entered a branch of the Apple Bank at 1321 Kings Highway. He handed a teller a note, was given some money and left, the police said。
About 15 minutes later, the man walked into a Capital One branch at 1226 Kings Highway, the police said, and handed over a note, but did not get any cash。
About 2:40 p.m., the suspect entered an HSBC bank branch at 1621 Kings Highway. Again, a note was handed over and he obtained some money, the police said。
The robber’s spree shows “a certain amount of perseverance,” said Thomas W. McKenna, a retired first-grade detective with the New York police。
“It’s very unusual for a guy to do three banks in a row, that close together, and to stay in the same area。”
Mr. McKenna added: “He’s looking for a score, there’s no doubt about that. And he’s nonsectarian about which bank he goes to. “Any bank is open play for him。”
The robber was described as Hispanic, about 5-foot-7, and 150 pounds. He wore black pants, a red shirt and a red baseball hat。
Bill Giannopoulos, owner of Madison Florist
and Decorators, across Kings Highway from the Apple Bank branch, said he did not realize anything was happening until the street was swarming with police officers and a helicopter was circling overhead。
“It’s scary,” he said. “I don’t know what’s happening in the neighborhood。”
近日美国纽约市一名劫匪在30分钟内抢劫了当地3家银行,所获现金不详,虽然警方出动了直升机搜寻,但到目前为止,仍未将其捉拿归案。
据报道,这名男子在下午2:15首先通过出示要钱便条的方式打劫了纽约市的家银行,所获现金暂不清楚。15分钟后,他又来到第二家目标银行,却遭到失败,之后迅速逃走。然而,他并未就此收手,在2:40时又跑到附近的一家银行进行抢劫,30分钟内接连抢劫了3家银行,效率之高令人惊讶。
之后,当地警方出动直升机对其进行抓捕,却未将其捉住。据悉,这名劫匪可能是一名西班牙裔男子,身高约为1.73米,体重约为68公斤。
纽约警署已退休的一级侦探托马斯·W·麦肯纳说,这名抢劫犯的疯狂行为很不寻常,他可能只是想创造个记录,并不在乎抢劫哪家银行,“任何银行对他都是掌中玩物。”

雅思听力高分技巧精听训练法
第一, 什么是精听?
精听(intensive listening)和泛听(extensive listening)练习的侧重点有很大不同,一般来说,泛听练习要强调的是在只听一遍听力材料的情况下,同学们能够掌握这篇材料的中心大意,能听出关键词句就可以了。泛听注重的是“量”——进行广泛大量选取不同的听力材料进行训练。相反,精听则是需要反复多次对同一篇听力材料进行训练,不仅要理解材料的内容大意,还要听懂每词每句,注重“细节”。那么对于剑桥真题来说,精听训练也应听出一篇材料的文章结构和语言特点。
第二, 为什么要做精听?
我遇到的很多前来新东方进行培训的VIP一对一学员,在上课之前都对雅思听力备考抱有这样的想法:只要把剑桥真题全部都做一遍就没问题了。但事实上,如此复习雅思听力的同学不但没有发现自己的听力和理解能力有明显提高,甚至还在“原地踏步”,失去了对听力的信心和积极性。因为他们只是简单地认为只要“量”达到了,就一定会产生“质变”,所以之前做错的题目,练习后重做还是会错。归根结底,原因就是练得不“精”,他们对于一套真题的态度就是:听一遍——对答案——查看正确或错误数目——下一套。不参看原文,不再重听,不总结错误原因,只在追求那个数字,这样的练习方法使得珍贵的真题变得毫无意义。由此可见盲目地“多听”练习是很难得高分的,我们需要应是细致地“精听”。
第三, 如何进行精听?
首先,要选择合适的材料进行精听。对于培训中的“小烤鸭”来说,没有任何听力素材比剑桥真题来得更有价值,经典从来被模仿,却从来未超越。那么拿到真题之后,又该如何合理利用呢?基础是根本,想要得高分的同学一定要牢牢把握section1和2这两部分的内容,但section3和4才是需要花上大把时间去精听的。刚开始进行训练的同学可以截取某个section的一段进行精听,不一定马上就要练习一整篇文章,并且建议“小烤鸭”们在精听的同时,将听到的录音内容写下来,因为这样才会发现更多问题。
准备好练习本后,同学们进行第一轮听力时要全段或全篇听,录音不停顿,边听边记,可以只写关键词,也可以只写单词的简写,这样对材料会有一个整体的理解和把握;第二遍再听时把第一轮没有写上的内容进行补全,这一轮可以提高同学们的短暂记忆能力,写得时候要快,录音中间不要间断;第三轮的时候可以进行句子间地停顿,并对前面写下来的内容进行补充和修改,直到把全段或全文补写完整,这轮结束之后,同学们会发现有的地方还是空着,那么我们可以从头到尾再进行最后一轮放音,这样你可以知道空着的位置到底是太快没有跟上,还是压根就不会没听出来是什么内容。精听抄写完成之后,我们要对照录音全文,总结错误和问题,千万不要略过这一步,因为它十分的重要,可以反映出你听力最薄弱之处,能够从根本帮助你提高听力。经过这步之后,我们会了解哪些地方是因为单词不会写错;哪些是因为知道单词,却没有拼对;哪些由于吞音、连读等语音知识而没有写出;哪些地方原文有复数-s,原文有过去式、过去分词-ed等,却被疏忽了;哪些是由于发音和自己的不同,单词本来会也没听对;再或者哪些地方根本就是不懂的。
总结之后,我们发现了真正存在的听力问题和困难,并针对这些错误进行一些加强练习,反复去听,有的放矢地去训练,那雅思听力的提高必然是指日可待了。
