小编:倪晓洁 247根据最近雅思官方发布的2017年雅思考试白皮书和对17年雅思考试阅读文章的真题分析,可以看出一个明显趋势:答案所在的定位句多为长难句,有些同学即使通过定位词查找到该句,也不能快速准确的理解句意、或者找不到和题目相应的同义转换,阅读考试的趋势逐渐侧重考察学生的理解能力,对技巧依赖有所减少。
因此,烤鸭们在平时刷题、总结解题技巧的过程中,也要重视对于定位句的分析----- 长期坚持,不仅可以提高自身提取长难句主干的能力,也能通过语法、词汇的记忆,加强这两项基础知识。在我们阅读突破段课程中,有3-4节课的课堂重点放在分析三大从句上,今天以出现频率较高、难度较大的定语从句为例。
首先,以C4T4P1 How much higher? How much faster? 的一句话为例:These methods include strength training that duplicates what they are doing in their running events as well as plyometrics, a technique pioneered in the former Soviet Union. 根据长难句分析三步骤:1.找标点(逗号,破折号等);2.找连词、分词、介词;3.定主语,可以提取出这句话的主句为:These methods include strength training as well as plyometrics. 注意动词的include的宾语是两个并列名词,不要忽略as well as这一并列连词。剩下的成分… that duplicates what they are doing in their running events明显是that引导定语从句修饰先行词strength training, a technique pioneered in the former Soviet Union 为同位语解释说明专有名词plyometrics. 因此这句话,可以根据不同意群划分成如下:
那么长难句分析如何与解题结合呢?以C4T3P3 Obtaining linguistic data中summary 38题为例"some corpora include a wide range of language while others are used to focus on_____. (no more than three words)"通过定位词corpora和转折连词while定位到以后一段Some corpora attempt to cover the language as a whole,taking extracts from many kinds of texts; others are extremely selective,providing a collection of material that deals only with a particular linguistic feature. 定位句是一个封号隔开的并列句,并且分析得出封号就是转述题目当中的转折连词while, 并且题中while前面的a wide rang of…同义转述文中 many kinds of …,那么题目考察while后面内容,只需要找到focus on的同义转述即可。而文中封号后能与focus on进行同义转述的只有deal only with…,因此推出答案为particular linguistic feature, 符合填空题的字数最大化原则。
很多学生觉得精读阅读重要的文章和句子、分析成分并理解意思,非常消耗时间。经验表明,当以正确的方法分析200句以上长难句,自身的阅读水平会得到较大提高。建议将精读和泛读结合,高分指日可待。
