雅思閱讀誤區(qū)詳解之盲目背單詞

雅思閱讀在備考的過(guò)程中最讓考生頭痛的就是生詞了，那么應(yīng)該如何背單詞呢?今天小編給大家?guī)?lái)了雅思閱讀誤區(qū)詳解之盲目背單詞，希望能幫助到大家，下面小編就和大家分享，來(lái)欣賞一下吧。

【高分必備】雅思閱讀誤區(qū)詳解之盲目背單詞

同學(xué)們?cè)谧鲅潘奸喿x過(guò)程中都出現(xiàn)過(guò)類似情況，發(fā)現(xiàn)所做文章詞似乎都能認(rèn)得差不多，通過(guò)猜測(cè)能猜出文章內(nèi)容，結(jié)果做題時(shí)5道題錯(cuò)了4個(gè)。但有時(shí)一篇文章讀不懂，題目看不懂，蒙一蒙，結(jié)果5道對(duì)了4個(gè)，針對(duì)這種情況，我們來(lái)歸納總結(jié)一下為什么。

首先，舉個(gè)例子，同學(xué)們都知道plant是種植，在英文中，有一個(gè)現(xiàn)象叫做名詞合用為動(dòng)詞，所以加入前綴，implant是植入,replant是移植，兩詞詞性都發(fā)生了變化。另一詞power，中文意為能量、力量，powerplant很多同學(xué)會(huì)根據(jù)這個(gè)聯(lián)想為有能量的植物。實(shí)際powerplant意為發(fā)電站。

根據(jù)上面的例子可以看到小詞匯對(duì)雅思閱讀的影響，很多同學(xué)做閱讀看到powerplant，文中再出現(xiàn)太陽(yáng)，就會(huì)聯(lián)想至光合作用，如此貫穿全文，可能會(huì)認(rèn)為整片為生物類文章。整體理解出現(xiàn)偏差，導(dǎo)致最終5道題錯(cuò)了4個(gè)。

很多同學(xué)在背雅思單詞的時(shí)候，經(jīng)常會(huì)背出一些長(zhǎng)的、難的、不認(rèn)識(shí)單詞來(lái)，這是一個(gè)誤區(qū)。其實(shí)做雅思閱讀并不是這樣，有些時(shí)候，影響你閱讀的恰恰是一些小詞。

再比如plant一詞，在雅思詞匯中運(yùn)用最多的意思是植物，種植，另一部分使用的語(yǔ)義是作為名詞，工廠、場(chǎng)站。如出現(xiàn)chip plant的詞匯，是芯片工廠。但沒(méi)有接觸過(guò)的同學(xué)，再加上不理解上下文，甚至?xí)`以為薯片工廠,這樣，全文呈現(xiàn)吃貨的走向。所以，單詞永遠(yuǎn)是雅思閱讀最重要的一個(gè)問(wèn)題。

雅思考試閱讀模擬試題及答案解析

Next Year Marks the EU's 50th Anniversary of the Treaty

A.　　After a period of introversion and stunned self-disbelief, continental European governments will recover their enthusiasm for pan-European institution-building in 2007. Whether the European public will welcome a return to what voters in two countries had rejected so short a time before is another matter.

B.　　There are several reasons for Europe’s recovering self-confidence. For years European economies had been lagging dismally behind America (to say nothing of Asia), but in 2006 the large continental economies had one of their best years for a decade, briefly outstripping America in terms of growth. Since politics often reacts to economic change with a lag, 2006’s improvement in economic growth will have its impact in 2007, though the recovery may be ebbing by then.

C.　　The coming year also marks a particular point in a political cycle so regular that it almost seems to amount to a natural law. Every four or five years, European countries take a large stride towards further integration by signing a new treaty: the Maastricht treaty in 1992, the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997, the Treaty of Nice in 2001. And in 2005 they were supposed to ratify a European constitution, laying the ground for yet more integration—until the calm rhythm was rudely shattered by French and Dutch voters. But the political impetus to sign something every four or five years has only been interrupted, not immobilised, by this setback.

D.　　In 2007 the European Union marks the 50th anniversary of another treaty—the Treaty of Rome, its founding charter. Government leaders have already agreed to celebrate it ceremoniously, restating their commitment to “ever closer union” and the basic ideals of European unity. By itself, and in normal circumstances, the EU’s 50th-birthday greeting to itself would be fairly meaningless, a routine expression of European good fellowship. But it does not take a Machiavelli to spot that once governments have signed the declaration (and it seems unlikely anyone would be so uncollegiate as to veto it) they will already be halfway towards committing themselves to a new treaty. All that will be necessary will be to incorporate the 50th-anniversary declaration into a new treaty containing a number of institutional and other reforms extracted from the failed attempt at constitution-building and—hey presto—a new quasi-constitution will be ready.

E.　　According to the German government—which holds the EU’s agenda-setting presidency during the first half of 2007—there will be a new draft of a slimmed-down constitution ready by the middle of the year, perhaps to put to voters, perhaps not. There would then be a couple of years in which it will be discussed, approved by parliaments and, perhaps, put to voters if that is deemed unavoidable. Then, according to bureaucratic planners in Brussels and Berlin, blithely ignoring the possibility of public rejection, the whole thing will be signed, sealed and a new constitution delivered in 2009-10. Europe will be nicely back on schedule. Its four-to-five-year cycle of integration will have missed only one beat.

F.　　The resurrection of the European constitution will be made more likely in 2007 because of what is happening in national capitals. The European Union is not really an autonomous organisation. If it functions, it is because the leaders of the big continental countries want it to, reckoning that an active European policy will help them get done what they want to do in their own countries.

G.　　That did not happen in 2005-06. Defensive, cynical and self-destructive, the leaders of the three largest euro-zone countries—France, Italy and Germany—were stumbling towards their unlamented ends. They saw no reason to pursue any sort of European policy and the EU, as a result, barely functioned. But by the middle of 2007 all three will have gone, and this fact alone will transform the European political landscape.

H.　　The upshot is that the politics of the three large continental countries, bureaucratic momentum and the economics of recovery will all be aligned to give a push towards integration in 2007. That does not mean the momentum will be irresistible or even popular. The British government, for one, will almost certainly not want to go with the flow, beginning yet another chapter in the long history of confrontation between Britain and the rest of Europe. More important, the voters will want a say. They rejected the constitution in 2005. It would be foolish to assume they will accept it after 2007 just as a result of an artful bit of tinkering.
