相信很多考生都想要知道如何提高自己的閱讀能力,但是攻克閱讀並非是一朝一夕的事情,是需要長期積累的,也是需要正確的方法和技巧的。所以很多考生在積累不夠的情況下都會感覺到非常的吃力,那麼如何抓住雅思閱讀文章重點呢?一起來看一下吧。

如何抓住雅思閱讀文章核心

在大部分考生備考時間緊、複習節奏快的前提下,筆者認爲,通過結構閱讀法有望在短時間內獲得一定程度的提高。

結構閱讀法是指基於文章內在的寫作線索,把握文章段落大意,幫助在中定位。由於雅思閱讀文章大都選自歐美國家的知名媒體和書刊,文章觀點新穎,論述縝密,故而其內在的邏輯和線索,會組成清晰的結構(structure)。考生若能基本讀懂各段落主句(Topic Sentence), 通常會對文章的大體結構有所認識,而這對於T / F / NG以及List of Headings中那些靠先讀的方法反而越加迷茫和糾結的目和選項不啻爲一種脫。

例如,劍5中page 18/Passage 1 /Test 1/ Questions 1-3:

Which THREE of the following statements are true of Johnson’s Dictionary?

A. It avoided all scholarly words.

B. It was the only English dictionary in general use for 200 years.

C. It was famous because of the large number of people involved.

D. It focused mainly on language from contemporary texts.

E. There was a time limit for its completion.

F. It ignored work done by previous dictionary writers.

G. It took into account subtleties of meaning.

H. Its definitions were famous for their originality.

我們來看本篇文章(page 16-17 / Cambridge V):

Paragraph 1: For the century before Johnson’s Dictionary was published in 1775...

(Topic Sentence)

第一段:介紹當時社會的語言使用背景。

Paragraph 2: There had, of course, been dictionaries in the past, the first of these...

(Topic Sentence)

第二段:講述關於字典的歷史。

Paragraph 3: Beyond the practical need to make order out of chaos, the rise of dictionaries is associated with the rise of the English middle class, who ...

第三段:對於字典的需求的呼聲。

Paragraph 4: Johnson was a poet and critic who raised common sense to the heights of genius.

第四段:引入字典的編撰者Johnson, 介紹其背景,爲接下來的內容鋪墊。

Paragraph 5: James Boswell, his biographer, described the garret where Johnson worked as ‘fitted up like a counting house’ with a long desk running down...

第五段:開始字典編撰工作,條件艱辛。

Paragraph 6: The work was immense: filling about...

第六段:具體工作的描述,字典的特點。

Paragraph 7: After many vicissitudes the Dictionary was finally published on 15 April 1775.

第七段:終於出版,功成名就

Paragraph 8: Johnson had worked for 9 years, ’with little assistance of the learned...

第八段:回顧9年艱辛歷程,鮮有支持,低調晦暗。

The Final Paragraph: The Dictionary, together with his other writing ...

末段:驚動國王,贈予撫卹金。

只需大體讀過,便不難得知,文章的進展就是一部字典的“背景醞釀——導入作者——籌劃——動筆——艱辛筆耕——終於出版——一朝成名”的發展過程,線索清晰明瞭,結構歷歷在目。

閱讀上述主句所需時間也並非想象中很長,因爲大體只需讀過9個句子,所以花費的時間非但不會佔用過多時間,反而因爲給後面需要判斷的statements提供了一個清晰可見的framework,而使得判斷速度加快了。

我們看到,選項中大部分是關於字典的內容特點,所以考生會拋開首尾部分,而傾向於去讀第六段,因爲它在講述字典的特點,會較多地包了選項所涉及的內容,判斷因此顯得從容多了。

類似的情況絕非獨一無二,在劍5/ Test 1 / Passage 2 “Nature or Nurture?”一文中,同樣包清晰可見的結構。它是順着“實驗話引入——實驗介紹——實驗規則——預計——實驗結果——實驗分——實驗討論”的線索展開的,仍然清晰可辨。同樣對後面的Questions 14 ——19的Matching大有助益。

以上就是爲大家整理的如何抓住雅思閱讀文章重點的相關內容,希望能夠對大家有所幫助。在備考雅思閱讀的時候,找到合適的方法纔是最重要的,所以切記不能夠盲目,希望本篇文章的介紹能夠幫助到大家。
