雅思閱讀各部分考試分類(lèi)介紹
第一部分：雅思閱讀簡(jiǎn)介
雅思閱讀考試分學(xué)術(shù)類(lèi)和培訓(xùn)類(lèi)兩種，分別針對(duì)申請(qǐng)留學(xué)的學(xué)生和計(jì)劃在英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言國(guó)家參加工作或移民的人士。三篇文章40道題目總共用時(shí)60分鐘，包括將答案謄寫(xiě)到答題卡上的時(shí)間。
學(xué)術(shù)類(lèi)(A類(lèi))閱讀考試形式：IELTS考試閱讀(學(xué)術(shù)類(lèi))部分共有三篇文章，考生需要回答40道題目。每一篇文章所需要回答的問(wèn)題數(shù)量并不相同。每一道問(wèn)題相對(duì)應(yīng)一個(gè)分?jǐn)?shù)。文章內(nèi)容和題目均出現(xiàn)于問(wèn)卷中。
培訓(xùn)類(lèi)(G類(lèi))閱讀考試形式：IELTS 考試閱讀(培訓(xùn)類(lèi))部分共有三部分，文章難度由淺至深，考生需要回答40道題目。第一部分有14道題目，通常包含2到3篇短文或者若干段文字(如廣告 等)。第二和第三部分分別有13道題目。第二部分通常有2篇文章，第三部分則為一段較長(zhǎng)的文章。文章內(nèi)容和題目均出現(xiàn)于問(wèn)卷中。
第二部分：雅思閱讀文章來(lái)源
我們都知道，雅思閱讀文章多從世界著名的網(wǎng)站雜志報(bào)刊中選取，但是了解具體是哪些網(wǎng)站嗎?下面就給大家分享一下，大家可以在休閑的時(shí)候多瀏覽一下上面的文章，對(duì)大家雅思閱讀備考非常有幫助。
一、 雅思閱讀A類(lèi)的文章大部分選自國(guó)外人文類(lèi)、經(jīng)濟(jì)類(lèi)和科學(xué)類(lèi)的知名報(bào)紙、雜志或各政府、組織的研究報(bào)告。例如：
1. New Scientist 這本雜志被用到的頻率最高，如劍四中的Lost for Words, Play is a Serious Business，劍五中的What’s So Funny?, Flawed Beauty: the Problem with Toughened Glass，和劍六中的多篇文章 Australia’s Sporting Success, Climate Change and the Inuit, Graying Population Stays in the Pink, Do Literate Women Make Better Mothers?
2. The Economist 列居其次，如劍五中的The Truth about the Environment, 劍六中的Delivering the Goods
3. 還有American Scientist和Scientific American這兩個(gè)主要的美國(guó)學(xué)術(shù)期刊，例如劍五的Disappearing Delta和劍六的The Search for Anti-aging Pills
4. 當(dāng)然還有National Geographic。但是值得注意的是，因?yàn)檫@是休閑雜志，所以只作為了G類(lèi)的閱讀，如劍六中的Pterosaurs
除了以上提到的若干來(lái)源之外，雅思A類(lèi)的閱讀文章還出自Nature, Discover, Time (Europe), Boston Global, History Today等其余期刊或雜志。至于是哪次考試的哪篇文章，由于敏感原因在這里就不在透露。
二、 G類(lèi)的閱讀中前兩部分通常是實(shí)用性強(qiáng)的功能性短文，如菜單、產(chǎn)品說(shuō)明、通知、住宿安排和廣告等，非常貼近西方的實(shí)際生活。這就要求考生們爭(zhēng)取每天閱讀一定 量的原版英文報(bào)刊、書(shū)籍，如time、reader’s digest等,尤其注意其中的各種各樣的廣告。并非要讀懂每一個(gè)字，或完全理解，只要能理解其中大至含義既可。
了解這些雅思文章出處之后對(duì)于廣大考生平時(shí)進(jìn)行泛讀訓(xùn)練具有很好的指導(dǎo)作用?？忌梢詮囊陨想s志期刊的官方網(wǎng)站上搜索到相關(guān)背景文章進(jìn)行有針對(duì)性的閱讀訓(xùn)練。
第三部分：雅思閱讀文章類(lèi)型
雅思閱讀難備考，可能是因?yàn)槲恼碌膶?zhuān)業(yè)性。畢竟大多數(shù)同學(xué)平時(shí)都不太會(huì)深入了解一些自然類(lèi)科技類(lèi)醫(yī)學(xué)類(lèi)……相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的最新知識(shí)。因?yàn)楸尘爸R(shí)的 缺乏，很多考生花費(fèi)大量時(shí)間來(lái)理解文章，而導(dǎo)致做題時(shí)間緊張。所以，烤鴨們?cè)谄匠５膫淇贾幸獙?duì)一些不熟悉的領(lǐng)域涉獵一下，增強(qiáng)自己的背景知識(shí)理解能力。
雅思閱讀文章分類(lèi)如下：
1. 關(guān)于歐洲及世界社會(huì)發(fā)展，經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況，科學(xué)動(dòng)向以及文化交流的文章
自1995年雅思考試的題型做出重大改革以后，有兩條原則就被命題的劍橋大學(xué)考試委員會(huì)(UCLES)反復(fù)強(qiáng)調(diào)非專(zhuān)業(yè)原則和國(guó)際化原則。為了使 不同地域，不同政治經(jīng)濟(jì)體制，不同膚色，不同文化背景的人能平等且毫無(wú)理解困難地參與雅思,法律及專(zhuān)業(yè)性較強(qiáng)的醫(yī)學(xué)，生物學(xué)，哲學(xué)，文學(xué)，藝術(shù)等的文章已 經(jīng)不再作為雅思的考查范圍。
就可能涉獵的文章類(lèi)型而言，以下幾個(gè)方面的內(nèi)容經(jīng)常作為考點(diǎn)出現(xiàn)：
世界范圍的就業(yè)狀況
語(yǔ)言學(xué)，考古學(xué)，生物學(xué)，簡(jiǎn)單醫(yī)學(xué)(單詞量不會(huì)影響對(duì)文章的理解)
世界范圍內(nèi)的教育狀況，經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的問(wèn)題，機(jī)遇及挑戰(zhàn)(糧食，能源)
女權(quán)注意及女性歧視問(wèn)題
環(huán)境保護(hù)(海洋，生物，陸地，森林等)及環(huán)境污染(化學(xué)，石油泄漏等)
種族，民族問(wèn)題
人口爆炸及居住問(wèn)題，城市化及相關(guān)問(wèn)題(交通擁擠，設(shè)施缺乏，噪聲等)
2. 關(guān)于地球，自然界的科學(xué)現(xiàn)象及地理現(xiàn)象的文章
這種文章類(lèi)型在I中最為普遍，其涵蓋面之廣無(wú)從細(xì)分，但就最近一年以來(lái)考試文章分析，主要還是以下幾種類(lèi)型：
太空，宇宙概況，以及外星生物探討等
全球氣候變暖，厄爾尼諾，洋流異常，臭氧層破壞
地球?yàn)?zāi)難，火山爆發(fā)，地震，彗星撞地球，森林大火，生物滅絕
3. 人類(lèi)歷史發(fā)展中重要事件，重要人物及重要標(biāo)志性產(chǎn)品
這也是雅思中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的一種重要的文章類(lèi)型，但自1998年開(kāi)始對(duì)重要人物的考查總是和重要事件交織在一起，不再單獨(dú)羅列。人類(lèi)歷史上的重大發(fā)明和表明人類(lèi)文明輝煌成就的重大事件也是重點(diǎn)考查內(nèi)容(發(fā)明電視，電影，計(jì)算機(jī)及登陸月球)。
第四部分：雅思閱讀文章結(jié)構(gòu)
雅思閱讀的學(xué)術(shù)性決定了其深度和難度，卻也限制了文章的結(jié)構(gòu)、使其必須符合一定的學(xué)術(shù)規(guī)范。學(xué)術(shù)性文章的寫(xiě)作對(duì)象可以天南海北、作者觀點(diǎn)可以光 怪陸離，但是行文論證必須規(guī)范嚴(yán)密，所以雅思閱讀的層次結(jié)構(gòu)相對(duì)固定。就目前出版的十本劍橋雅思系列而言，學(xué)術(shù)類(lèi)閱讀大致可分為兩類(lèi)：說(shuō)明文和議論文。其 中，說(shuō)明文從客觀的角度介紹或陳述一個(gè)既定的事實(shí)，議論文則通常針對(duì)某個(gè)特定的問(wèn)題進(jìn)行分析和論證，有時(shí)一并提出解決的方案。
雅思閱讀練習(xí)：What make of Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber
He’s the YouTube sensation who turns 17 next month, making him the youngest singer to top the American Billboard Charts since Stevie Wonder in 1963. He has already earned nearly ￡100 million, and analysts claim he’s the most influential person on the internet, ahead of Barack Obama. But unless you’re an eight-year-old girl (or living in close proximity to one), you’re likely to be a bit vague on the whole Justin Bieber phenomenon.
Just who is this Canadian cutie pie with the spray-on mop top and the cartoon grin? Did he deserve the Brit award (for best international breakthrough artist) we gave him earlier this week? And what’s the secret of his appeal to the hordes of hopelessly devoted “Beliebers” who’ll be screaming and swooning their way through his new 3D movie, Never Say Never, when it opens in British cinemas tomorrow, and packing concert venues when he tours here next month?
Like most child stars, Bieber inherited his ambition. His mother’s dreams of an acting career were derailed when she became pregnant with him at 18. Although she kept in contact with his father, Pattie Mallette raised her boy alone, working in a series of low-paid office jobs in Stratford, Ontario.
Little Bieber discovered a passion for music early. In the movie, fans will coo over home video of him, aged about five, staring out from beneath a floppy blond fringe and announcing, “Mummy, this is how I drum!”, before banging out a tight, enthusiastic rhythm on a cheap kitchen chair. He taught himself to play the piano, guitar, drums and trumpet, came second in a talent contest at 12 and began uploading videos of himself to YouTube. That summer, he set down his guitar case in front of a theatre and made almost $3,000 busking covers of songs by his R&B heroes, Usher and Ne-Yo. In a rather adorable, role-reversing moment, he used the money to take his mum on holiday to Disneyland.
Meanwhile, those homemade YouTube videos had been spotted by aspiring music executive Scooter Braun. Mallette, a devout Christian, was hesitant because Braun is Jewish. “God, I gave him to you,” she is reported to have said. “You could send me a Christian man, a Christian label!” But after praying with church elders, she decided to hand Braun the reins of her son’s career. And Braun had a strategy ready to roll. “I wanted to build him up more on YouTube first,” he has said. “We supplied more content. I said: 'Justin, sing like there’s no one in the room. But let’s not use expensive cameras.’ We’ll give it to kids, let them do the work, so they feel like it’s theirs.”
雅思閱讀材料：Chevron's dirty fight in Ecuador
石油污染的樹(shù)木
The giant oil corporation has been fined $8.6bn for an environmental disaster that has been called 'the Amazon's Chernobyl'. But guess what? It may end up paying nothing
No regrets, no apologies and not a penny in damages. The US energy giant Chevron came out fighting last night after a court in Ecuador ordered it to pay $8.6bn (￡5.3bn) in fines and clean-up costs, plus $900m reparations, to the victims of oil pollution that fouled a swathe of Amazon rainforest along the country's remote north-eastern border.
The sum was the largest ever levied in an environmental lawsuit anywhere in the world.
Supporters of the indigenous villagers who brought the case said they were celebrating a landmark victory in the wider battle to hold multinational corporations to account for their conduct overseas.
Chevron will not be admitting defeat, however. Its lawyers, who have already spent 18 years and tens of millions of dollars contesting the lawsuit, pledged yesterday to appeal against the fine through every conceivable legal avenue, on at least three continents. In statements, the oil company branded Ecuador's legal system corrupt and "illegitimate", and said the court's ruling formed part of a vast "extortion scheme". A spokesman for Chevron claimed that the fine, imposed by a judge in the town of Lago Agrio, was "unenforceable in any court that observes the rule of law".
Chevron's lawyers have already filed appeals and counter-suits related to the case in six US courts. The company no longer has assets in Ecuador, so it intends to force the plaintiffs to pursue it internationally if they wish to see any of the damages. Chevron is also attempting to take the case to arbitration at a tribunal in the Netherlands.
A New York judge, Lewis A Kaplan, took the extraordinary step last week of pre-emptively blocking any financial judgment against the US-based company, anywhere in the world, for at least 28 days. He suggested that attempts to collect Chevron's assets might disrupt the day-to-day business of a company that was vital to the global economy.
That the dispute has reached this heady stage is hardly surprising, given both its enormous complexity and the vast amounts of money now at stake. The case stretches all the way back to 1964, when Texaco entered a partnership with Ecuador's state oil company, Petroecuador, to extract oil from the country's remote Oriente region.
During almost 30 subsequent years of exploration, billions of gallons of waste oil and water were dumped into open pits, fouling fishing grounds, damaging crops, killing farm animals and leading to an increase in cancer cases among residents of villages in the region. So severe was the damage that the fallout has been widely described as "the Amazon's Chernobyl". Experts appointed by the Ecuadorean courts have calculated that the pollution from the oil wells killed at least 1,400 people.
When Texaco pulled out of the country, in 1992, it agreed to spend roughly $40m cleaning up some of the damage. Shortly afterwards, the first version of the current lawsuit was filed against Texaco in New York by lawyers representing 47 named residents of the region.
In 2001, Texaco was bought by California-based Chevron, which became America's second-biggest oil firm but inherited the still-ongoing lawsuit in the process. In 2003, its lawyers successfully argued that the case should be heard in Ecuador. It has taken almost eight years for it to come to court. In that time, the fate of the 47 plaintiffs, who are seeking damages for 30,000 fellow members of their community, has become an international cause clbre, gaining the support of Hollywood stars such as Darryl Hannah. The lawyer who represents the residents, Pablo Fajardo, won the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2008 for his work on the case.
Mr Fajardo called Monday's 188-page ruling, which will roughly double the ￡5.75bn fine if Chevron does not admit wrongdoing in the next 14 days, a "triumph of justice", saying he was only disappointed that the level of damages wasn't higher. "Today's judgment affirms what the plaintiffs have contended for the past 18 years about Chevron's intentional and unlawful contamination of Ecuador's rainforest," he added. "Rather than accept that responsibility, Chevron has launched a campaign of warfare against the Ecuadorean courts and the impoverished victims of its unfortunate practices."
Despite its earlier efforts to have the case held in Ecuador, Chevron now claims that the local court system is institutionally corrupt. Using undercover investigators with hidden recording devices, it claims to have found proof of illegal collusion between the plaintiffs and the judges. "The evidence of fraud on the part of the plaintiffs' lawyers is overwhelming," said a spokesman. "We intend to see that the perpetrators of this fraud are held accountable for their misconduct."
Analysts think it unlikely that Chevron, which reported earnings of $19bn last year, will agree to pay any damages, since the cost of continuing to appeal is far less than the amount it would have to pay to settle. However, the row may be taking some of the gloss off its performance: while shares in BP and Shell rose yesterday, Chevron's stock was down by about 1 per cent in early afternoon trade in New York.
