选择题
单选
多选
配对题
事务+特征
人物+理论(全篇题)
半句式配对
段落细节信息配对(断子绝孙题,一般不和heading题一同出,否则难度太大)
小标题(List of headings)
出现在文章的前面
如果目标总分6-6.5就不要抠这种题
开篇三件事
看主题:定文章题材,猜大致结构
主标题/副标题:副标题通常更重要
图片:帮助理解文章题目及内容
引言:字体与正文不同,协助理解题目及文章内容,解决标题不认识单词
文章首段:(第一句或第二句))
划结构:部分/段落
文章是否分成几大部分
通常每一部分对应一道大题
文章分为几个段落
段落越多越好,雅思出题全面且分散
观察有无字母标段落,如果没有,需要用数字标段
有字母标段会出和段落相关题目(heading题和断子绝孙题)
随时做题,随时标记题目出于哪个段落:雅思出题分散且全面,有题目出现的段落再次出现第二题的概率会降低
审题型:大定位/难度/做题顺序/拿分点
文章一共有几个大题,分别是什么题型
题型难度如何,是顺序还是乱序(填空和判断题较容易,选择题一般,配对和headings题较难)
是否有全篇性或者部分性题型
做题顺序(按照题目顺序做还是边看文章边做)
战略性选择做题顺序(时间紧张时)
定位
小标题不需要定位,其他题全部需要定位
一般一个问题,只对应一句话,所以雅思的阅读不要精读
定位词选取原则
形式明显
出现次数少
不易替换
定位词-六大类词汇
数字
百分比、序数词、分数...
时间
公元,年代,月份,时分秒,某些时间状语
地点
大洲、国家、地区、城市、地名、建筑物
人物
人名,职业
特殊字体
大写,缩写,粗体字,黑体字,斜体字
特殊符号
引号,连字符,金钱符号
定位-名词
专有名词,越不认识,越难越好定位,原文中多次出现的高频词汇,主题词不能作为定位词
定位词-动词
动作特殊:化学物理反应,融化升华凝结等
形容词/副词
黄金三句话:阅读考试答案通常出现在定位词所在句或者其前一句或后一句
最重要:定位句
定位句前一句
定位句后一句
填空题
summary 无选项:答案来自原文原词原形
解题5步法
审题
有没有字数要求,有没有范围提示,有范围一定是明确在哪段
字数要求
尽量按字数要求上线去写,但语法一定要对
No more than One word and/or a number
one word
one number
one word + one number
答案中一定会出现数字
定位
预判:根据空的特点来预判需要填什么词,什么短语,单数还是复数
解题:选过的选项在确定的情况下可以直接划掉
检查:放到句子里读一下看是否通顺
Summary 定位
整道大题对应文章位置:前/中/后/全篇/第几段
1. 审题,看题干是否直接给出题目对应位置
2. 大定位:观察题目是否出现小标题,可以直接定位(小标题不能和文章题目重复)
3. 小定位:通过题目首末句定位词确定题目起始和结束位置(最常用),一般只定位首句定位词即可
4. 观察文章其他题型,判断题目对应大体位置(雅思出题原则:全面且分散,如果其他题考过的段落,一般不会重复考此段),标位置排除
每一个空一般对应原文一句话
答案一定来自于原文原词原形,不需要做任何形式改变
题目直接按照文章顺序出题,偶尔乱序(一般是上下题乱序)
Summary有选项
出现NB,必有一个选项重复出现,且只出现一次
大部分答案按顺序,有时会发生乱序
答案可能是原文对应单词的同义替换,尤其是非名词
选项:仔细分析选项,根据需要进行词性或者选项性质进行分类,并找出反义词词对
选项如果是形容词,则容易被改写,这时在没有太大阅读障碍的情况下可以运用语法,逻辑或者常识预判答案,之后回原文进行检查,如果理解困难或者生词较多,就采用普通定位的方法进行解题。
阅读时注意原文的感情色彩
按照词库选项特点分类
名词:普通名词/专有名词
形容词
混合
按词性分类
-ly
-ed
-ing
-s
选项中的反义词标记出来
混合选项可以按照词性和性质对选项进行分类,并找出反义词对,这时在没有太大阅读障碍的情况下,可以运用语法、逻辑或者常识预判答案,之后回原文进行检查 反义词对一般至少二选一 以实验为主题的文章中的题目,一般不能直接猜答案,要尊重实验结果
完成句子题
顺序题型,一般不乱序
答案原文原词原型
尽量一次读两道题目并划定位词,如果题目没有定位词,则通过前后题确定题目的位置
有些空格可以根据前后搭配判断出其需要填写表示人或者职业的名词
有些空本身是充当题目句子的主语或者宾语,可以试着通过句子结构在原文中找答案
一定要注意空格前面冠词是a还是an,a不可以连接元音开头的单词
简答题
通过疑问词,问什么答什么
for how many years 考时间段
流程图题
通常只对应文正某一段或两段(一般是篇幅较长的段落)
通常出现在文中的中后段位置
特殊词定位法
流程/过程: how... works, process, procedure
步骤:step
阶段:phase/stage
时期:age/era/time/period
次序: first/second/third
流程有多步:one two three last
流程只有两步: one/the other/another
表示顺序性:then/next/consequently
前后: early/further,former/later
注意步骤之间的顺序
注意题目涉及到的各个事务之间明显或暗含的关系(包含、并列、举例等)
不要被不认识的词吓到,专有名词本身通常不是考点
判断题
答案尽量写全称(TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN)
细节题,一般每道题只对应文章中的一到两句话
顺序题:一般按顺序出题,个别时候一个长难句可能对应两道判断,个别时候某一道题目的定位可能涉及到两个不同位置(这种一般选TRUE,有时间再细看)。
题目只考文章内容,不涉及专业背景知识,不要根据常识猜。
题目→同意替换←原文:选T/F的前提是文章和判断讲的是同一件事,如果不是同一件事,NG
题目→总结归纳←原文:一个长难句用一个短句替换
题目→一步推理←原文:不要引申,不要根据自己常识判断
T
直接相反:结果不一样
信息不一致:偷换原因
F
原文中没有相关信息/个人的主观观点与实际事实 NG
定位技巧
小题数量≥7个,则整个题目大概率对应全篇
headings+判断题,这种搭配判断题基本对应全篇
可以先定位有明显定位词的小题目,判断其对应范围
观察文章其他题型,判断题目对应大体位置
考点词
容易发生同义替换的词
主题逻辑
逻辑关系考点:题目表述的矛盾点集中在两个陈述事实之间的逻辑关系,多体现为因果关系或并列关系
题干中出现的动词、形容词、副词等有明显的方倾向性(比如好坏,快慢,上升下降,乐观悲观等),或者其有明显的反义词或者表达感情色彩,那么这样的词就会成为考点
条件考点:如果题目中对于一件事的发生做出了时间、地点、频率方法、范围、目的以及条件等等进行了限定,那么这些相关的信息即为考点,并通常体现为介词短语或者副词
绝对词考点:如果题干中出现了一些语气过于绝对的词或词组,根据学术类文章相对比较严谨的特征,正确答案多为FALSE,反之,如果题干中出现表示可能性或者较为模糊的词或者词组,那么答案多为TRUE或NOT GIVEN; 绝对词本身可能不是考点,被其限定的词是考点。
时间来不及怎么蒙题
蒙TRUE
整体来说,TRUE相对出现的概率比较大一些
长难句(题目或者是原文),考点多(3个或者3个以上考点),同义替换复杂,选TRUE概率大
出现表示肯能性的词,或者模糊词,选TRUE概率大
蒙FALSE
考点为唯一反义词,趋势词,直接否定或者间接否定词时,选FALSE概率大
绝对次或者词组出现时,选FALSE概率大
出现表示条件考点,以及程度或者频率副词时,要注意与原文对比
一些特殊词出现,如since, already,ignore,neglect等等,选FALSE概率大
蒙NOT GIVEN
比较级考点出现,选NG概率较大
原文是主观词出现,如果题干对应的是客观事实,则选NG
题目中涉及到政府、军事、国家、宗教、财政、金钱或者男女比例 等敏感内容时,选NG概率大
第一小题很少选NG,NG很少两个连着出现。
单项选择题
顺序题,题目按照原文顺序出题
题目之间按照文章顺序出题
选项可能出现乱序,大多数情况四个选项会出现在同一段落中,一般出现在上下句
考点:可能考原文某句话,某四句话或者段落大意
考察选项与原文对应的句子,少则一句,多则四句
个别时候考察整个段落的段意或者作者意图
选项判断技巧
正确选项=原文同义替换
错误选项=原文过度重现(绝大多数不选)
正确选项=体现文章主题
错误选项=脱离文章主题
正确选项=符合段落或原文的感情色彩
错误选项=不符合段落或原文的感情色彩
正确选项通常出现在twins选项(结构相似或意思相反)中
正确选项可能出现表示可能性的词或者模糊词
正确选项可能是明显偏长以及复杂程度突出的选项
含有绝对词的选项被选中的概率比较小
唯一的比较级选项被选中的概率小
唯一的数字选项可以用来定位,但被选中的概率较小
一些特殊词出现的选项一般不选,如since,already,ignore,neglect等
涉及到政府、军事、国家、宗教、财政、金钱或者男女比例等铭敏感内容的选项,一般不选
时间来不及时:
直接看选项定位对应的句子
看段落主题句(通常是首句,第二句或末句)
如果是问段落主题,则忽略描述性的句子,举例子的句子或叙述性的文字
主旨型单选
一定出现文章最后
考察文章主题/主旨/文章标题/作者意图/文章结论等,偶尔考察文章细节
文章标题/作者目的
正确答案一定能体现文章所有讨论主体,如果有两个及两个以上的主体,则缺一不可
正确答案应体现文章主题
正确答案通常是概括性的,比较宏观的表述
错误选项通常缺少文章讨论主体(如有两个及以上主体,可能会缺少其一)
错误选项通常脱离文章主题
错误选项通常是比较具体的细节性的表述
错误选项通常可能是对文章某一个自然段或者文章中出现的某一个具体例子的概括,而非整篇文章大意
文章结论conclusion
正确答案通常位于原文最后一段或者倒数第二段
正确答案一般是其相对应原文内容的同义替换
文章细节detail
此类题目一定要在看文章之前提前分析选项,划出定位词和解题关键词
边看文章边做题,即遇到定位词,即可进行题目和原文对比,进行解题
时间来不及,可战略性放弃本类题型(想考8分及以上的,按上面方法解题)
多项选择题
正确答案数量已知,一题一分,题干当中大写,粗黑体标出
题干中出现NB,正确答案可以呈现任意顺序
选项一般集中对应文章中某些部分或某个段落,有时可能分散分布
如果选项比较多,则通常集中出现在一到两段
如果选项比较少,则可能集中出现,也额能分散分布
定位方法
通过题目信息:如果题干中有文字信息说明选项所涉及到的内容,则可以直接用来定位
观察文章其他题型,判断题目对应大体位置
技巧
要注意题干部分可能给出关于解题的相关信息
选项越多,答案位置越集中:多数集中在一个较长的自然段里。(6选3或者5选2时大概率会集中出现)
正确选项符合普通四选一单选题的正确选项特征,同义替换,体现主题,twins选项,无绝对词,有模糊词选项等
定位位置与其他不同的选项通常为正确选项
蒙题技巧
时间来不及时,集中选中间部分临近选项,如BCD,DEF
去掉含绝对词的选项
去掉含since,already,ignore,neglect的选项

Line Graph
通常三四条线做对比,不要分开单独描述
Introduction
原文: The graph below shows electricity production (in terawatt hours) in France between 1980 and 2012. 修改: The line graph compares the amount of electricity produced in France using 4 different sources of power over a period of 32 years.
Overview
It is clerar that nuclear power was by far the most important means of electricity generation over the period shown.
Renewables provided the lowest amount of electricity in each year.
Details 1
In 1980, thermal power stations were the main source of elcetricity in France, generating around 120 terawatt hours of power.
Nuclear and hydroelectric power stations produced just under 75 terawatt hours of electricity each, and renewables provided a gegligible amount.
Details 2
Between 1980 and 2005, electricity production from nuclear power rose dramatically to a peak of 430 terawatt.
By contrast, the figure for thermal power fell to only 50 terawatt hours in 1985, and remained at this level for the rest of the period.
Hydroelectric power generation remained relatively stable, at between 50 and 80 terawatt hours, for the whole 32-year period, but renewable electricity production saw only a small rise to apporximately 25 terawatt hours by 2012.

Introduction
原表达:The chart below shows global sales of the top five mobile phone brands between 2009 and 2013. 新表达: The bar chart compares the number of mobile phones sold worldwide by the five most popular manufactures in the year 2009, 2011 and 2013
Overview
It is clear that Nokia sold the most mobile phones between 2009 and 2011, but Samsung became the best selling brand in 2013.
Samsung and Apple saw the biggest rises in sales over the 5-year period.
Details 1
In 2009, Nokia sold close to 450 million mobile phones, which was almost double the number of handsets sold by the second most successful manufacturer, Samsung.
Over the following 4 years, however, Nokia's sales figures fell by approximately 200 million units, whereas Samsung saw sales rise by a similar amount. By 2013, Samsung had become the market leader with sales reaching 450 million units.
Details 2
The other three top selling mobile phone brands between 2009 and 2013 were LG, ZTE and Apple.
In 2009, these companies sold around 125 million, 50 million and 25 million mobile handsets respectively, but Apple overtook the other two vendors in 2011.
In 2013, purchases of Apple handsets reached 150 million units, while LG saw declining sales and the figures for ZTE rose only slightly.
Pie Chart
比较比例
Introduction
原表:The charts below show household spending patterns in two countries between 1980 and 2008 修改后:The pie charts compare five cateegories of household expenditure in the UK and New Zealand in the years of 1980 and 2008.
Overview
It is noticeable that the proportion of spending on food and drink fell in both countries over the 28-year period, while spending on utility bills rose.
Also, UK residents spent a significantly larger percentage of their household budgets on leisure(闲暇,空闲) than their New Zealand counterparts(对应的事务).
Detail 1
In 1980, 29% of an average New Zealad household budget went on food and drink, while the equivalent figure for a UK home was 23%.
By 2008, expenditure on food and drink had fallen by 4% in New Zealand, and by a full 10% in the UK.
By contrast, both countries saw an increase in expenditure on utility bills 物业账单(燃气、水等)for the average home, from 27% to 31% in New Zealand and from 26% to 28% in the UK.
Detail 2
Leisure activities accounted for the highest proportion of UK household spending in both years, but only the third highest proportion in New Zealand.
In fact, in 2008, New Zealanders spent only half as much in relative terms on recreation 娱乐消遣、游戏、娱乐活动(17%) as UK residents(34%).
In both countries, transport costs and other costs took roughly 15% and 10% of household budgets respectively.
Table
Introduction
原表:The table below shows statistics about the top five countries for international tourism in 2012 and 2013. 修改后: The table compares the five highest ranking countries in terms of the numbers of visists and the money spent by tourists over a period of two years.
Overview
It is clear that France was the world's most popular tourist destination in the years 2012 and 2013.
However, the USA earned by far the most revenue 收益,收入 from tourism over the same period.
Detail 1
In 2012, 83 million tourists visited France, and the USA was the second most visited country, with 66.7 million tourists.
Spain and China each received just under 58 million visitors, while Italy was ranked fifth with 46.4 million tourists. 2013 saw a rise of between 1 and 4 million tourist visits to each country, with the exception of China, which received 2 million fewer visitors than in the previous year.
Detail 2
Spending by tourists visiting the USA increased from $126.2 billion in 2012 to $ 139.6 billion in 2013, and these figures were well over twice as high as those for any other country.
Spain received the second highest amounts of tuorist revenue, rising from $56.3 billion to $ 60.r billion, followed by France, China and Italy.
Interestingly, despite falling numbers of tourists, Chinese revenue from tourism rose by $1.7 billion in 2013.

Introduction
原表:The bar chart below shows the numbers of men and women attending various evening courses at an adult education center in the year 2009. The pie chart gives information about the ages of these course participants. 修改后: The bar chart compares the numbers of males and females who took four different evening classes in 2009, and the pie chart shows the age profile of these attendees.
Overview
It is clear that significantly 明显地,显著地 more women than men attended evening classes at the education center. We can also see that evening courses were much more popular among older adults.
Detail 1
According to the bar chart, drama, painting and language courses all attracted more women than men to the education center in 2009.
Language classes had the highest number of participants overall, with 40 female and 20 male students, while painting was a poular choice among both genders, attracting 30 female and 25 male attendees.
The only course with a higher number of males was sculpture, but this course was taken by a mere 15 people in total.
Detail 2

Glass recycling
Introduction
原文: The diagrams below show how glass containers, such as bottles, are produced and recycled. 修改: The first flow diagram illustrates the process of glass container production, and the second diagram shows steps in the process of recycling used galss.
Overview
We can see that glass is made using 3 main raw materials, and that the manufacturing process consists of 4 distinct不同的 stages.
It requires five steps to turn used glass into new glass products.
Detail 1
At the first stage in the production of glass, sand, soda ash, limestone and other chemicals are mixed together.
Next, this mixture is heated in a glass furnace at approximately 1500℃ to produce molten glass.
The molten glass can then be shaped, by blowing, to create the end products, namely glass containers.
Detail 2
Glass recycling begins with the colletion of used glass products.
The collected glass is sorted according to its colour, and then washed in order to remove any impurities.
At the fourth stage of recycling, the glass is crushed and melted, and the resulting molten glass can finally be moulded to create new items.

Introduction
原文: The diagrams below show the exsisting ground floor plan of a house and a proposed plan for some building work. 修改: The two pictures compare the current layout of the ground floor of a house with a plan to redesign the same living space.
Overview
We can see that the new design proposal involves making a number of changes to the ground floor of the house, mainly in the central hall area.
There are no plans to change external walls or entrances.
Detail 1
The most noticeable change from the existing to the proposed floor plan is that there will no longer be a separate hall area when the building work has been done.
This will be achieved by removing the internal wall and door between the hall and living room, along with the current staircase and understair storage cupboard.
With no separate hall area, the proposed living room will also contain the staircase to the first floor.
Detail 2
To replace the current straight staircase, a new set of winding stairs will be installed in the corner of the living room.
The internal door between the hall and kitchen will also be replaced with double doors connecting the kitchen with the new living room.
Finally, the planned building work will also include the installation of some kitchen furniture.
