介绍动物的英语短文阅读篇一
Snakes蛇

The snake is a long and thin animal that lives in grass or other dark places.A snake has no legs or feet, but it can move very fast on its stomach. Snakes usually have green, yellow or black skins, which make them difficult for their enemies to find them. Some kinds of snakes live in water. They can swim as freely as fish.

Snakes are cold-blooded animals. In winter they hibernatein holes which are narrow enough only to hold the snakes' bodies. The snakes can sleep through a whole winter without eating and moving. They can not feel any pain. The hibernation period lasts about five months. When spring comes, the snakes come out and begin their normal life.

Snakes can take many things as food, such as mice, sparrows, frogs,birds' eggs, pests and so on. People sometimes can see a snake eat a sparrow. First it moves close to the sparrow, then it puts out its tongue and brings the sparrow into its mouth and swallows it, which makes a lump in the snake's body. After some time the lump disappears.

As snakes are dreadful-looking, people are afraid of them. Many people drive them away whenever they see snakes. But in Chinese fairy tales, snakes are by no means bad. They seem to have human feelings. They can change into pretty girls. People like and respect them. The most well-known is the story about the White Snake and the Blue Snake.

In fact, snakes are not as dreadful as they look. They can help us to kill mice and pests. They can provide us with delicious meat. Their blood is a good drink. Poisonous snakes are especially useful. We can make valuable drugs with them.

12. C。13. D。由第一段中的theamount of ... you need is totally unique to you及最后一段中的the correct amount of sleep for you可推断，很“重要的（important）”一点是我们要注意到没有一项研究会告诉一个人他“自己（personally）”需要多长时间的睡眠。
14. C。由下文可知，Dr. Watson建议通过即将到来的假期“算出（figure out）”自己需要的睡眠时间。
15. A。Dr. Watson建议人们假期里“尝试（Try）”每晚在同一时间睡觉。
16. C。由下文的unlimited sleeping in可推断，Dr. Watson建议人们在“没有（without）”闹钟的情况下自然醒来。
17. C。采用Dr. Watson的方法，你应该就能知道自己“理想的（ideal）”睡眠时间。
18. B。由下文的The first few nights you may sleep eight to nine hours ... from theweek可推断，这种计算睡眠时间的方法在“周末（weekend）”不一定有效。
19. D。“如果（if）”你经历了很疲倦的一周，那么最初的几个晚上你可能会睡八到九个小时。
20. A。由下文的or sleep deprived可推断，此处是说非常“疲倦的（tired）”。

善良之心， 久久相依 当时我没有意识到，是爸爸帮我保持平衡 奥古斯塔斯 J 布洛克
1 随着我渐渐长大，当别人看见我和爸爸在一起，我会觉得很尴尬。他身材矮小，走起路来跛得很厉害。我们一起走时，他要把手搭在我的肩上才能保持平衡，人们就会盯着我们看。对这种不必要的注意我觉得非常难堪。他也许曾注意到，或着觉得烦恼，但他从来没有流露出来。2 要协调我们的步伐并不容易，他(的步子)一瘸一拐的，我(走起来)则缺乏耐心。因此，我们走路的时候并不怎么说话。但出发时，他总是说：“你定步伐，我会尽量跟上。”3 我们通常在家和地铁之间来往，这是他上班的必由之路。不论生病还是碰到恶劣的天气他都去上班，几乎没有旷过一天工。即使别人无法上班，他也要去办公室。对他来说这是一种自豪。4 当地上有冰或雪的时候，即使有人帮忙他也无法走路。这时，我或者我的姐妹就用孩子玩的雪撬拉着他，穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道，直到地铁的入口处。一到那儿，他就能紧紧抓住扶手一直走下去, 地铁道里比较暖和，下面的楼梯不结冰。曼哈顿的地铁站正好是他办公楼的地下室，因此除了从布鲁克林我们去接他的地方到回家为止，他都不用再出去。5 一个成年男子要有多少勇气才能承受这种屈辱和压力，我现在想来惊讶不已。他从没有痛苦或抱怨，他是怎么做到这一步的我感到不可思议。6 他从不把自己当作同情的对象，也从不对更幸运的或更能干的人表示任何嫉妒。他在别人身上所寻找的是一颗“善心”。如果他找到了一颗善心，那么有这么颗心的人对他来说就是一位大好人了。7 由于年龄的增长，我相信那是一种用来判断人的恰当的标准，尽管我还不能精确地知道什么是一颗“善心”。但是，当我自己没有的时候，我是知道的。8 尽管很多活动我爸爸不能参加，但他还是尽量用某种方式参与。当本地的一支棒球队发现缺经理的时候，他使它维持下去。他是一个很懂行的棒球迷，经常带我去埃贝茨球场看布鲁克林的道奇队打球。他喜欢参加舞会和聚会，就是坐在一旁观看，也很开心。9 有一件事我至今难忘。一次沙滩聚会上，人们打了起来，每个人都在推推搡搡，拳头你来我往。于是他无法袖手旁观，但没有人帮忙，在松软的沙滩上他站不起来。困窘之际，他开始大叫：“谁坐到我这儿来，我就跟他打！谁坐到我这儿来，我就跟他打！” 10 没人坐下和他打。但是第二天，人们都和他开玩笑说，拳击尚未开始，对手就故意认输了，这还是第一次。 11 我现在才明白，有些事他是通过我，他唯一的儿子，间接参与的。当我打球（打得很糟糕）的时候，他也在“打”。我加入海军，他也“加入”。当我休假回家的时候，他总要我去他的办公室。 在介绍我的时候，他实际上是在说：“这是我的儿子，但也是我。如果不是这种情形的话，我也能做这些。”可是这些话从没有说出来。12 父亲已去世多年。但我还是经常想起他。不知道他当时是否感觉到了我曾不愿意别人看见我和他走在一起。如果他感觉到了，我很遗憾我从没有告诉过他后来我感到多么难过，多么渺小，多么后悔。每当我为琐事抱怨的时候，每当我嫉妒别人好运的时候，每当我没有一颗“善心”的时候，就想起了他。13 在这种时候，我就把手放在他的手臂上，来重新获得平衡，并说：“你定步伐，我会尽量跟上。”
献给凯特的吻
1 作为晚间护土，每天下午我值班的时候，都要走过养老院的过道，在每个门口停下来看一看，聊一聊。经常，凯特和克里斯两个人腿上放着大大的剪贴本，他们看着相片，缅怀往事。凯特很骄傲地向我展示逝去岁月的相片：克里斯——高个，金黄色头发，潇洒，而凯特是美丽的，黑头发，爱笑。两个年轻的恋人穿越时间隧道灿烂地笑着。他们现在坐在那儿，光线洒在他们白发苍苍的头上，他们那饱经沧桑而布满皱纹的的脸上荡漾着对往事的回忆的笑容，一切的往事都被照相机摄下并永久性地保留在了剪贴簿上，这时候他们看起来真可爱。2 年轻人对爱情的了解少得可怜，我常常这样想。然而对于这样珍贵的东西却以为他们才拥有专利权，那真是太可笑了。爱情真正意味着什么，老年人知道；年轻人只能猜测。3 凯特和克里斯总是在一起——在食堂、休息厅，沿着长廊和草坪漫步，总在一起，总是拉着手。我们这些工作人员吃晚饭的时候，有时凯特和克里斯正慢慢地走过餐厅门口。这时话题就会转向对这一对老夫妇的讨论，关于他们的爱和忠诚执著，以及他们之一去世了另一个会怎么样。我们知道克里斯是强者，凯特总是依靠着他。4 如果克里斯先去世，凯特会怎么过生活？我们常常在想这一问题。5 像往常一样，到了上床睡觉的时候，我就把晚上的药拿给凯特，她就坐在她的椅子里，穿着睡衣和拖鞋，等着我的到来。在我和克里斯的注视下，凯特吃下药，然后克里斯帮她从椅子上扶到床上，给她那瘦弱的身上盖好被子。6 看到这一爱的举动，我又一次地想（尽管已经想过上千次了），天哪，养老院为什么不给那些老年夫妇提供双人床？整个一生中他们都睡在一起，但是到了养老院，却要他们睡单人床。一夜之间他们就被剥夺了一生的安慰。7 这种政策真愚蠢，当我看着克里斯手伸上去，关上凯特床头的电灯时常常会这样想。然后克里斯弯下腰，两人轻轻亲吻。他拍拍她的脸颊，他们微笑着。他总是把她床边上的横档拉上以后，然后才转过身去拿自己的药。当我走到过道上的时候，我能听见克里斯说：“晚安，凯特”以及她回答的声音“晚安，克里斯；”他们的两张床在房间的两边，中间隔着整个房间。8 我有两天休班，当我回来时，我听到的第一个消息是：“克里斯昨天上午去世了。”9 “怎么回事？”10 “心脏病，突发。”11 “凯特怎么样？”12 “不好。”13 我走进凯特的房间。她坐在椅子上，一动不动，手放在膝上，目光呆滞。我握着她的双手说，“凯特，我是菲丽丝。”14 她的眼睛一动不动，只是呆呆地瞪着。我用手托着她的下巴，让她慢慢转过头来，好让她看着我。15 “凯特，我刚刚得知克里斯的事。我很难过。”16 听到“克里斯”这个词，她的眼睛重现生机。她看看我，迷惑不解，好像正奇怪我是怎么突然出现的。“凯特，是我，菲丽丝。我对于克里斯的死真的很难过。”17 她认出我了，于是一脸悲伤，泪如泉涌并沿着脸颊流下来。“克里斯死了，”她轻声说。18 “我知道，”我说，“我知道。”19 我们有一阵子对凯特特别照顾，让她在自己的房间里吃饭，给予她特殊的关注。接着工作人员帮她渐渐回到敬老院以前的日程安排。常常，当我走过凯特的房间，我会发现她坐在椅子上，腿上放着剪贴本，悲伤地注视着克里斯的相片。20 对于凯特来说，晚间睡觉是最难熬的时候。虽然已允许她从自己的床上搬到克里斯的床上，虽然工作人员一边为她掖好被子，一边与她聊天说笑，凯特却仍然沉默，仍然落落寡欢。她盖上被子躺下后一个小时，我经过她的房间，总会发现她还没睡，凝视着天花板。21 几周过去了，她晚上依然不能成眠。看起来很焦躁，很不安。为什么？我想着。为什么晚上比其他时间更难过呢？22 于是，一天夜里我走进她的房间，看见她还是那样毫无睡意，我一时冲动就说：“凯特，会不会是因为没人亲吻你道晚安吧？”俯下身，我吻了吻她那布满皱纹的脸颊。23 就好像我打开了感情的闸门，眼泪顺着她的脸淌下来，她紧紧抓住我的手。“克里斯总是亲吻我说晚安，”她哭道。24 “我知道，”我轻声说。25 “我很想念他，这么多年以来他总是亲吻我说晚安。”她停下来让我帮她擦眼泪。“没有他的吻我就是无法入睡。”26 她抬头看着我，眼里充满了泪水。“噢，谢谢你给我一个吻。”27 她的嘴角浮起一丝微笑。“你知道”，她知心地对我说，“克里斯过去曾给我唱过一支歌。”28 “真的？”29 “是的”，她点点了点她那满是白发的头，“我晚上躺在这儿，就想着那首歌。”30 “怎么唱？”31 凯特笑了，拉着我的手，清了清嗓子。然后她轻轻地提起嗓子唱起歌来，嗓音虽然年老细弱却依然优美： 亲我吧，我亲爱的，让我们分手（睡觉）吧，当我老得做不动梦时，你的吻会永远留在我心里。
得益于宠物
1 最近，许多美国报纸都刊登了一篇小短文，题目叫“你能从自己的狗身上学到什么”。这篇文章列举了宠物狗常常做的七件事情，并说如果主人也这样做，对他们也会有益的。这些事情是：l）当你心爱的人回家，跑上去迎接他。2）愉快地吃东西。3）天热时，大量地喝水。4）打盹。5）不咬人，只咆哮。6）当非常想要一件东西的时候，去努力寻找。7）给予无条件的爱。2 有许多人仍然坚持说只有人类才能感受到爱这种情感。然而，有更多的人，通常是宠物拥有者，觉得不仅仅他们爱宠物，宠物也回报给他们爱。这只是拥有宠物的一项好处，但却是很重要的一项好处。我们每个人都想身体健康。报纸上和杂志上写了成千上万篇文章，给予种种建议，告诉我们如果想改善健康应该怎样做。这种建议经常包括这样的内容：饮食得当，锻炼身体，服用维他命以及养宠物。为什么要养宠物？因为越来越多的研究表明拥有宠物的人比没有宠物的人身体上和精神上都更健康。目前美国有一半以上的家庭养动物做伴，其中有51,000，000只狗，56，000，000只猫，45，000，000只鸟以及其他的小动物。3 除了这些显而易见的事情，如聪明可爱，看起来有趣，逗乐外，宠物为我们做的事情是我们常常意识不到的。如果你正养着一只宠物或者曾经养过宠物，你就知道家里有个宠物在等着你是多么美妙的感觉，不管你长得怎样，穿着如何，或者在干着什么行当。宠物爱你是无条件的，而且不要求你谈吐不凡。只要简单地说一声“好孩子”，拍拍头，挠挠下巴后面，对宠物们来说就足够了。它们会想一些办法让你知道，它们对你的赞美非常感激，或许是摇摇尾巴，或许是蹭蹭你的身子，低声呜叫，或许只是用充满爱意的眼睛看看你。4 拥有宠物的人常说它们是多好的陪伴以及与它们在一起有多少乐趣。宠物专家和研究者还确定了拥有宠物和与宠物交流而带来的许多其他好处。除了已经提到过的，宠物还能缓和紧张和焦虑，有助身心放松，提供安全感，以及摆脱困扰。某医学研究显示，在人们抚摸宠物的时候，血压会下降。 5 宠物正被越来越多地用于上了年纪的人和治疗患有早老性痴呆病或其他生理疾病的患者身上。在亚利桑那州图森的一位女士与许多住在养老院里的老人分享她可爱的小狗。她每周带着狗去他们那儿至少一二次，让老人们抱抱或者抚摸这只小狗。老人们急切地等着它的到来，并总是问她，她和她的狗什么时候还会再来。与孤寡或年老的人分享宠物的人有许多，这位女士只是其中的一位。当然，还有无数的故事讲述如何驯养狗来帮助盲、聋、或被束缚在轮椅上的人，常常这些狗能够使他们独立地生活，而要是没有狗，这一切是不可能的。这些人与他们的四足朋友之间的爱是感人的。甚至给狗梳梳毛或者轻轻地拍拍它，都是很好的理疗，而且我们都知道散步的好处，散步也是狗所需要的。6 詹姆斯·赫里奥特，一位英格兰的乡村兽医，一直是英语国家里受欢迎的作家。他写过许多关于宠物主人及宠物的书和故事。他的许多故事都是关于宠物与主人之间的爱以及他们各自从对方那里所获的益处。他作为一名作家声名大噪的部分原因，是宠物爱好者喜爱读有关别的宠物爱好者的事并分享他们的感受。

㈤ 关于动植物的初中英语阅读理解练习题及答案.

All plant cells are capable of taking up water. Even dead ones do to a certain degree. Absorption of water by dead cell walls makes wood become larger. In common land plants, the living cells of roots take up most of the water. Land plants without roots do exist, however. Those greenish-yellow lichens（苔藓）you seen on rocks in the high mountains have no roots. Half a billion years ago, when water plants started to enter the land, the first land plants did not have roots.
Even among the flowering plants, one finds rootless forms. These flowering plants are "the higher plants" because they evolved（进化） recently and are thus considered higher on the evolutionary scale（进化树）. In the Peruvian desert, there grows one of these rootless higher plants, a bromeliad. It is a relative of the pineapple. Even if this plant had roots, they would be of no use, because the place where the plant grows never rains. The plant gets its water only from the dew（露水）it collects at night, when its leaves cool off. Such rootless plants, of course, can be moved with ease, but they will only grow when they are placed out in the open. If they are placed too near a house, the radiation from the heat of the house prevents the leaves from cooling and prevents dew from forming, then the plant dies. In the southern United States and in Puerto Rico, one sees bromeliads growing high above the streets on the insulation（绝缘物）of electric wires. These plants get their water from rain, and the only soil they ever come in contact with is the st that may blow on their leaves.

1. Wood becomes larger because of _____.
A. dead cell walls B. water entering dead cells
C. the growth of cells D. the death of cells

2. From the passage we know that the evolutionary scale is graded according to _______.
A. evolutionary cycles B. heights and depths C. time D. kinds

3. The most suitable title for this passage is "__________".
A. Absorption of water by plants B. Rootless plants
C. Plants in the desert D. Higher plants

4. All plant cells are capable of ______.

5. These flowering plants are ______ because they evolved recently and are thus considered higher on the evolutionary scale.

雅思阅读动植物类真题：The Pearl

The Pearl

A

Throughout history, pearls have held a unique presence within the wealthy

and powerful. For instance, the pearl was the favored gem of the wealthy

ring the Roman Empire. This gift from the sea had been brought back from

the orient by the Roman conquests. Roman women wore pearls to bed so

they could be reminded of their wealth immediately upon waking up. Before

jewelers learned to cut gems, the pearl was of greater value than the diamond.

In the Orient and Persia Empire, pearls were ground into powders to cure

anything from heart disease to epilepsy, with possible aphrodisiac uses as well.

Pearls were once considered an exclusive privilege for royalty. A law in 1612

drawn up by the Duke of Saxony prohibited the wearing of pearls by nobility,

professors, doctors or their wives in an effort to further distinguish royal

appearance. American Indians also used freshwater pearls from the Mississippi

River as decorations and jewelry.

B

There are essentially three types of pearls: natural, cultured and imitation. A

natural pearl (often called an Oriental pearl) forms when an irritant, such as

a piece of sand, works its way into a particular species of oyster, mussel, or

clam. As a defense mechanism, the mollusk secretes a fluid to coat the irritant.

Layer upon layer of this coating is deposited on the irritant until a lustrous

pearl is formed.

C

The only difference natural pearls and cultured pearls is that the irritant is

a surgically implanted bead or piece of shell called Mother of Pearl. Often,

these shells are ground oyster shells that are worth

significant amounts of money in their own right as

irritant-catalysts for quality pearls. The resulting

core is, much larger than in a natural pearl. Yet,

as long as there are enough layers of nacre (the

secreted fluid covering the irritant) to result in a

beautiful, gem-quality pearl, the size of the nucleus

is of no consequence to beauty or rability.

D

Pearls can come from either salt or freshwater sources. Typically, saltwater

pearls tend to be higher quality, although there are several types of freshwater

pearls that are considered high in quality as well. Freshwater pearls tend to

be very irregular in shape, with a puffed rice appearance the most prevalent.

Nevertheless, it is each indivial pearls merits that determines value more

than the source of the pearl. Saltwater pearl oysters are usually cultivated in

protected lagoons or volcanic atolls. However, most freshwater cultured pearls

sold today come from China. Cultured pearls are the response of the shell to a

tissue implant. A tiny piece of mantle tissue from a donor shell is transplanted

into a recipient shell. This graft will form a pearl sac and the tissue will

precipitate calcium carbonate into this pocket. There are a number of options

for procing cultured pearls: use freshwater or seawater shells, transplant

the graft into the mantle or into the gonad, add a spherical bead or do it nonbeaded.

The majority of saltwater cultured pearls are grown with beads.

E

Regardless of the method used to acquire a pearl, the process usually takes

several years. Mussels must reach a mature age, which can take up t0 3 years,

and then be implanted or naturally receive an irritant. Once the irritant is

in place, it can take up to another 3 years for the pearl to reach its full size.

Often, the irritant may be rejected, the pearl will be terrifically misshapen, or

the oyster may simply die from disease or

countless other complications. By the end

of a 5 t0 10 year cycle, only 50% of the

oysters will have survived. And of the pearls

proced, only approximately 5% are of

substantial quality for top jewelry makers.

From the outset, a pearl fanner can figure

on spending over $100 for every oyster

that is farmed, of which many will proce

nothing or die.

F

Imitation pearls are a different story

altogether. In most cases, a glass bead is

dipped into a solution made from fish

scales. This coating is thin and may

eventually wear off. One can usually

tell an imitation by biting on it. Fake

pearls glide across your teeth, while the

layers of nacre on real pearls feel gritty.

The Island of Mallorca (in Spain) is known for its imitation pearl instry.

Quality natural pearls are very rare jewels. The actual value of a natural pearl

is determined in the same way as it would be for other “precious” gems.

The valuation factors include size, shape, color, quality of surface, orient

and luster. In general, cultured pearls are less valuable than natural pearls,

whereas imitation pearls almost have no value. One way that jewelers can

determine whether a pearl is cultured or natural is to have a gem lab perform

an x-ray of the pearl. If the x-ray reveals a nucleus, the pearl is likely a beadnucleated

saltwater pearl. If no nucleus is present, but irregular and small dark

inner spots indicating a cavity are visible, combined with concentric rings of

organic substance, the pearl is likely a cultured freshwater. Cultured freshwater

pearls can often be confused for natural pearls which present as homogeneous

pictures which continuously darken toward the surface of the pearl. Natural

pearls will often show larger cavities where organic matter has dried out and

decomposed. Although imitation pearls look the part, they do not have the

same weight or smoothness as real pearls, and their luster will also dim greatly.

Among cultured pearls, Akoya pearls from Japan are some of the most lustrous.

A good quality necklace of 40 Akoya pearls measuring 7mm in diameter sells

for about $1,500, while a super- high quality strand sells for about $4,500. Size

on the other hand, has to do with the age of the oyster that created the pearl (the

more mature oysters proce larger pearls) and the location in which the pearl

was cultured. The South Sea waters of Australia tend to proce the larger

pearls; probably because the water along the coast line is supplied with rich

nutrients from the ocean floor. Also, the type of mussel common to the area

seems to possess a predilection for procing comparatively large pearls.

G

Historically, the world’s best pearls came from the Persian Gulf, especially

around what is now Bahrain. The pearls of the Persian Gulf were natural

created and collected by breath-hold divers. The secret to the special luster of

Gulf pearls probably derived from the unique mixture of sweet and salt water

around the island. Unfortunately, the natural pearl instry of the Persian Gulf

ended abruptly in the early 1930’s with the discovery of large deposits of

oil. Those who once dove for pearls sought prosperity in the economic boom

ushered in by the oil instry. The water pollution resulting from spilled oil

and indiscriminate over-fishing of oysters essentially ruined the once pristine

pearl procing waters of the Gulf. Today, pearl diving is practiced only as

a hobby. Still, Bahrain remains one of the foremost trading centers for high

quality pearls. In fact, cultured pearls are banned from the Bahrain pearl

market, in an effort to preserve the location’s heritage. Nowadays, the largest

stock of natural pearls probably resides in India. Ironically, much of India’s

stock of natural pearls came originally from Bahrain. Unlike Bahrain, which

has essentially lost its pearl resource, traditional pearl fishing is still practiced

on a small scale in India.

雅思阅读技巧之词汇+ 总结

雅思阅读技巧锦囊一：英语词库

所谓英语词库是英语对英语的词库而非是英语对汉语的词库。每个烤鸭都清楚雅思是国际性考试而非中国性质考试，单词背其中文意思在考试过程中是无效的，题目和 文章 都没有中文的出现。雅思阅读就是在全文中的找答案，可是你所用定位的词很多时候不会老老实实的坐在原文里等着你，这就需要你具备英语 同义词 的能力。

比如剑桥6的67页的list of headings 的 key point 2 的首句中managers should ensure that all employees have specific goals and receive comments on how well they are doing in those goals. 与之相对应的答案是establish targets and give feedback 同意词组为：have specific goals等于establish targets，receive comments on how well they are doing in those goals等于give feedback。

雅思阅读技巧锦囊二：ability to paraphrase

Paraphrase意思是用英文的 句子 或者段落来解释其英文的句子或者段落。对于外语系的孩子来讲这种能力的考试是家常便饭，也就造就了他们的理解能力比非外语系的同学们好很多。这种能力在雅思阅读考试中也是司空见惯的。

例如：剑桥6的43页的判断题10. Cities with high level of bicycles usage can be efficient even when public transport is only averagely good. 很多孩子看见only习惯性判为NO。因为太绝对了。实则不然，答案为YES。对应于原文中two most ‘bicycle friend’ cities considered—Amsterdam and Copenhagen—were very efficient, even though their public transport systems were ‘ reasonable but special.

切记：高分的取得不只是靠技巧，阅读能力的提升非常的重要

雅思阅读必备高分三技能

技能一：拥有扎实的词汇语法基础及背景知识

这里强调的其实是英文基础的重要性。考生想要在考试过程中游刃有余，没有一定的词汇量基本是没有办法达成的。当然我们在考试中可以通过上下文，转折词等等猜测生词的意思。但是，一旦生词量超过一定比例，势必会影响考生的理解。说到理解，在雅思考试中碰到长难句是常有的事情。那么扎实的语法基础也是考生正确理解文章意义的一个重要的必备素质。

除去扎实的词汇语法基础之外，丰富的背景知识也是一名高分考生所必须的。雅思阅读考试人文社科类和自然科学类当中有众多小分支话题，涉及天文、地理、生物、地质、语言学、发展史等等众多领域。为了保证考试时的阅读效率及答题的正确性，考生需要在平时多多查阅相关资料，了解各类文章背景。

技能二：熟悉题型的做题思路和技巧和出题角度

雅思阅读考试的题型多种多样，有细节题，有主旨题，有考察整体理解的题型，也有考察辨别信息能力的题型。

因此，建议想要取得高分的学员，在掌握每种题型的解题技巧的同时，还需要研究的是考试的出题角度，仔细研究各种题型考察的是何种能力。然后有针对性的去锻炼这方面的能力。14年的雅思阅读考试中，所占比重最大的几类题型为细节 配对 题、是非无判断题、选择题。之前常考的 List of headings对在去年的考试中所占比例并不大。14年几乎每场考试都有细节配对题出现，那么其实可以反映出雅思考试更加注重考生的细节定位能力以及对于材料的理解能力。

技能三：充分到位的精读和模拟训练是必不可少的

精读是提高分数的唯一法宝。精读的方法是：

用一小时完整的做一个Test三篇文章，然后一篇文章一篇文章的开始精读。

查出每篇文章的所有生词，并要求认知。接着分析文章所有的长难句，翻译整篇文章。

把所有题的出题点在文章里标出来。我们要非常清楚对是为什么对，错是为什么错。精读可以提高同学们的词汇、长难句分析能力以及对整篇文章做题思路的理解。

模拟训练可以提高考生两方面的能力：一是考试答题顺序的安排。二是考试时间的合理分配。

首先是答题顺序的安排。考生并不用完全按照考试文章的顺序来答题。完全可以通过对于标题的浏览来确定文章大意。然后根据自己的熟悉程度来选择文章的先后顺序。

另外，在确定了文章的先后顺序之后，题目的先后顺序其实也是需要进行合理安排的。比如14年很流行的段落细节配对题，虽然经常出现在文章很靠前的位置，但是，无论什么样的位置出现，这种题型都应该放在最后来解决。除了答题顺序之外，考试时间的精确掌控也是考生是否能够取得高分的一个重要因素。雅思阅读考试是个精泛读结合过程，不是所有的文字都需要进行精读的，恰恰那些基础很好有能力有机会考到高分的考生，往往会犯全篇通读的错误，导致最后答题时间不够，没能完成所有的题目而不能取得满意的成绩。

保存并继续

另外要提醒考生注意的是，在平常的模拟考试中就养成是用答题卡的习惯，这样才不至于在考试的时候因为时间不够而出现答题卡不能填写完全的情况。相信很多次的模拟练习之后，考生一定有能力在考试时，用最合理的时间分配进行最佳顺序的答题，最终取得高分成绩。
