雅思閱讀話題：人文科學(xué)

很多烤鴨們備考雅思閱讀的時候發(fā)現(xiàn)即使自己背了很多詞匯，閱讀方法也掌握了不少，但正確率仍舊不是很高，而且速度不夠快。通過實際教學(xué)經(jīng)驗發(fā)現(xiàn)，這其中的一個主要原因在于烤鴨們對于雅思閱讀考察的話題不熟悉。為了解決烤鴨們的這個難題，專家對雅思閱讀的話題進(jìn)行了歸類總結(jié)，讓烤鴨們在考場上找到一種“他鄉(xiāng)遇故人”的感覺，同時也給出了烤鴨們做閱讀的一些方法建議，讓烤鴨們在考場上不只是“他鄉(xiāng)遇故人”更要“知故人”。 經(jīng)過對歷年的雅思閱讀考試的分析，閱讀話題主要有兩大類，分別是自然科學(xué)類和人文社科類。上文中我們已經(jīng)探討過自然科學(xué)類的話題，本文將重點對人文科學(xué)類話題的文章進(jìn)行分析。雅思閱讀人文科學(xué)類的話題主要分為三大塊：教育類，語言學(xué)類，發(fā)展史。同時還會涉及到企業(yè)管理和心理類。 1. 教育類 首先，教育類的話題一直是雅思考試閱讀部分的熱門話題。在2011年的考試中，主要涉及到了兒童的性格，歐洲女子教育，兒童心理教育，兒童情感發(fā)展，教育方法的研究，噪音對兒童的影響，兒童文學(xué)，家長參與教育，天才教育，學(xué)習(xí)歷史的意義。在2012年上半年的考試來看，教育類涉及到了學(xué)術(shù)道德，閱讀方法的探討，年輕人當(dāng)父母，澳大利亞文盲。從去年及今年上半年的教育類話題分析，兒童教育及家庭教育是教育類話題的中心。在劍橋雅思真題集中這類型話題的分布也很廣泛，比如劍橋5 Test3 passage1 “Early Childhood Education”, 這篇文章主要是關(guān)于兒童教育的，講解了兩個項目'Headstart' programme和'Missouri' programme; 劍橋6 Test4 passage2 “Do Literate Women Make Better Mothers?”, 這篇文章討論了高學(xué)歷女性是否可以是更好的媽媽，有關(guān)兒童的家長問題。劍橋8 Test4 Passage1 'Land of the Rising Sum' 探討了日本的數(shù)學(xué)教育。 因此，各位烤鴨應(yīng)多關(guān)注一下這類型的文章，如果沒有時間進(jìn)行課外泛讀，也可以對劍橋雅思真題集4-8的教育類文章先進(jìn)行限時訓(xùn)練，做完對了答案將錯誤修改之后，建議烤鴨們在這時千萬別以為這篇文章就已經(jīng)做完了，一定要再對整篇文章進(jìn)行泛讀，每段的大意應(yīng)該知道，并最好用中文標(biāo)在每段后面，然后把每段主題句中的關(guān)鍵詞標(biāo)出來，如果有不認(rèn)識的最好摘下來。這樣到了考場上才能真正體會到“他鄉(xiāng)知故人”，否則，只是遇到了但不夠熟悉，做題時仍然會比較困難。 2. 語言類 雅思閱讀人文科學(xué)類的第二大話題就是語言類。從2011年全年來看，主要涉及到語言的傳播，筆譯，國際公司的外語策略培訓(xùn)，語言對商業(yè)的作用，語言的起源，語言的消失，對語言發(fā)展的態(tài)度。在 2012年上半年來看，語言類話題主要有交流與文化，語義的理解，雙語學(xué)習(xí)的利弊。從去年到今年上半年，語言類話題主要涉及到了語言對商業(yè)，文化等的影響，語言的保護(hù)以及語言與教育的結(jié)合。這類型話題在劍橋雅思真題集中也有廣泛分布，比如：劍橋4 Test2 Passage1 Lost for Words, 這篇文章主要講解了少數(shù)語言的消亡，探討了語言消亡的原因以及相應(yīng)的解決辦法。除此之外，劍橋4 Test3 Passage3 Obtaining Linguistic Data也是關(guān)于語言的，這篇文章相對比較專業(yè)化，講述了獲取語料的方法并討論了這些方法的利弊，但即使這樣做這篇文章時也不需要理解那些專業(yè)化的詞匯。劍橋5 Test2 Passage3 The Birth of Scientific English, 這篇文章結(jié)合了語言與發(fā)展史，講述了科學(xué)英語的誕生及發(fā)展。烤鴨們在遇到這類型的話題時，很多都會覺得相當(dāng)困難，除非有些烤鴨們的專業(yè)就是語言學(xué)專業(yè)。因為語言學(xué)本身就包括了很多分支比如語音學(xué)，詞匯學(xué)，句法學(xué)等等。每一個分支都會有很多相關(guān)的專業(yè)術(shù)語，烤鴨們尤其是還在讀高中的小烤鴨們會覺得異常難懂，但是要記住一點：雅思考試的一大特色就是“非專業(yè)性”。也就是說，雖然考試中會考到很多有關(guān)語言學(xué)的內(nèi)容，但是大多是關(guān)于語言傳播方式，如何保護(hù)語言等等比較簡單易懂的方面，并不會出現(xiàn)太專業(yè)性的內(nèi)容。即使有專業(yè)詞匯出現(xiàn)，也應(yīng)該感到高興，因為它們不會涉及同意轉(zhuǎn)換。 3. 發(fā)展史 第三類的話題就是有關(guān)各種事物的發(fā)展史。2011年的雅思閱讀考試中主要涉及到了歐洲印刷術(shù)，古人記事，茶的歷史與發(fā)展，加拿大移民史，英國戰(zhàn)后農(nóng)業(yè)政策，澳大利亞羊毛產(chǎn)業(yè)，非洲部落發(fā)展等。2012年上半年的雅思閱讀考試中主要有管理學(xué)之父彼得德魯克，遠(yuǎn)古電腦，奧運(yùn)火炬演變發(fā)展，劇院，超市模式的誕生，地圖的發(fā)展?fàn)顩r，英國人的農(nóng)業(yè)發(fā)明-犁地機(jī)，小提琴*，庫克發(fā)現(xiàn)新大陸。這類型話題在劍橋雅思真題集中也有體現(xiàn)，比如：劍橋5 Test1 Passage1 'Johnson's Dictionary', 這篇文章講述了約翰字典的發(fā)展歷史，相對來說比較容易理解，而且題目也比較容易做。Test2 Passage1 The Birth of Modern Plastics, 這篇文章論述了現(xiàn)代塑料的發(fā)展歷程，并講解了*過程。專業(yè)術(shù)語較多，但沒有同意轉(zhuǎn)換，因此這些專業(yè)術(shù)語不會影響做題。劍橋7 Test1 Passage2 'Making Every Drop Count', 這篇文章涉及到了人類用水的情況。劍橋8 Test1 Passage1 A Chronicle of Time Keeping, 這篇文章是很典型的發(fā)展史類的閱讀文章，講述了計時器的發(fā)展歷史，講述的是有史以來不同國家發(fā)明的鐘表和計時器，也可當(dāng)作鐘表或計時器的發(fā)展史來準(zhǔn)備這個話題。這類話題是各位烤鴨們必需關(guān)注的話題，原因很簡單，所有的東西都有歷史、有來由，而且這也是近期考試的一個主要話題?？忌豢赡軠?zhǔn)備所有的發(fā)展史，但是備考過程中完全放棄又很可惜，所以在所有的發(fā)展史中，那些曾經(jīng)考過的發(fā)展史考生一定要列為重點準(zhǔn)備的內(nèi)容。比如說“Co*etic Painting”講述了化妝品發(fā)展的歷史，從野人時代到現(xiàn)代，但是講述現(xiàn)代化妝的比較少，主要是對比古代。“人類貨幣的進(jìn)化史”，提到了巴比倫貨幣，中國貨幣，日本貨幣，非洲貨幣等等，以及劍橋雅思真題集上給出的文章一定要做到。

READING PASSAGE 1

You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.

AUSTRALIA’S SPORTING SUCCESS

A They play hard, they play often, and they play to win. Australian sports teams win more than their fair share of titles, demolishing rivals with seeming ease. How do they do it? A big part of the secret is an extensive and expensive network of sporting academies underpinned by science and medicine. At the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), hundreds of youngsters and pros live and train under the eyes of coaches. Another body, the Australian Sports Commission (ASC), finances programmes of excellence in a total of 96 sports for thousands of sport*en and women. Both provide intensive coaching, training facilities and nutritional advice.

B Inside the academies, science takes centre stage. The AIS employs more than 100 sports scientists and doctors, and collaborates with scores of others in universities and research centres. AIS scientists work across a number of sports, applying skills learned in one — such as building muscle strength in golfers — to others, such as swimming and squash. They are backed up by technicians who design instruments to collect data from athletes. They all focus on one aim: winning. ‘We can’t waste our time looking at ethereal scientific questions that don’t help the coach work with an athlete and improve performance,’ says Peter Fricker, chief of science at AIS.

C A lot of their work comes down to measurement — everything from the exact angle of a swimmer’s dive to the second-by-second power output of a cyclist. This data is used to wring improvements out of athletes. The focus is on individuals, tweaking performances to squeeze an extra hundredth of a second here, an extra millimetre there. No gain is too slight to bother with. It’s the tiny, gradual improvements that add up to world-beating results. To demonstrate how the system works, Bruce Mason at AIS shows off the prototype of a 3D *ysis tool for studying swimmers. A wire-frame model of a champion swimmer slices through the water, her arms moving in slow motion. Looking side-on, Mason measures the distance between strokes. From above, he *yses how her spine swivels. When fully developed, this system will enable him to build a biomechanical profile for coaches to use to help budding swimmers. Mason’s contribution to sport also includes the development of the SWAN (Swimming Analysis) system now used in Australian national competitions. It collects images from digital cameras running at 50 frames a second and breaks down each part of a swimmer’s performance into factors that can be *ysed individually — stroke length, stroke frequency, average duration of each stroke, velocity, start, lap and finish times, and so on. At the end of each race, SWAN spits out data on each swimmer.

D ‘Take a look,’ says Mason, pulling out a sheet of data. He points out the data on the swimmers in second and third place, which shows that the one who finished third actually swam faster. So why did he finish 35 hundredths of a second down? ‘His turn times were 44 hundredths of a second behind the other guy,’ says Mason. ‘If he can improve on his turns, he can do much better.’ This is the kind of accuracy that AIS scientists’ research is bringing to a range of sports. With the Cooperative Research Centre for Micro Technology in Melbourne, they are developing unobtrusive sensors that will be embedded in an athlete’s clothes or running shoes to monitor heart rate, sweating, heat production or any other factor that might have an impact on an athlete’s ability to run. There’s more to it than simply measuring performance. Fricker gives the example of athletes who may be down with coughs and colds 11 or 12 times a year. After years of experimentation, AIS and the University of Newcastle in New South Wales developed a test that measures how much of the immune-system protein immunoglobulin A is present in athletes’ saliva. If IgA levels suddenly fall below a certain level, training is eased or dropped altogether. Soon, IgA levels start rising again, and the danger passes. Since the tests were introduced, AIS athletes in all sports have been remarkably successful at staying healthy.

E Using data is a complex business. Well before a championship, sports scientists and coaches start to prepare the athlete by developing a ‘competition model’, based on what they expect will be the winning times.’ You design the model to make that time,’ says Mason.’ A start of this much, each free-swimming period has to be this fast, with a certain stroke frequency and stroke length, with turns done in these times.’ All the training is then geared towards making the athlete hit those targets, both overall and for each segment of the race. Techniques like these have transformed Australia into arguably the world’s most successful sporting nation.

F Of course, there’s nothing to stop other countries copying — and many have tried. Some years ago, the AIS unveiled coolant-lined jackets for endurance athletes. At the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996, these sliced as much as two per cent off cyclists’ and rowers’ times. Now everyone uses them. The same has happened to the ‘a(chǎn)ltitude tent’, developed by AIS to replicate the effect of altitude training at sea level. But Australia’s success story is about more than easily copied technological fixes, and up to now no nation has replicated its all-encompassing system.

劍橋雅思閱讀AUSTRALIA’S SPORTING SUCCESS答案

Question 1

答案：B

關(guān)鍵詞：exchange of expertise, between different sports/collaborate, across a number of sports

定位原文：B段第2、3句“...and collaborates with… a number of sports …”

解題思路: 題干中講到不同體育領(lǐng)域的專業(yè)知識交流正好跟原文中跨不同體育專家之間的合作相對應(yīng)，理解意思即可容易找到正確答案。

Question 2

答案：C

關(guān)鍵詞: visual imaging/3D, image

定位原文: C段第6句: “...shows off the prototype of a 3D *ysis …”

解題思路: 通過題干中的視頻成像可以很容易找到原文中對應(yīng)的3D和成像。

Question 3

答案：B

關(guān)鍵詞: a reason for narrowing/ can’t waste time

定位原文: B段最后1句: “We can’t waste our time looking…”

解題思路: 題目中的research activity和原文中的scientific questions 屬于同義表達(dá)，定位答題區(qū)域，發(fā)現(xiàn)此句話所要表達(dá)的意思是不在一些飄渺的、不切實際的科學(xué)問題上浪費(fèi)時間，也就是說要縮小研究的范圍。

Question 4

答案：F

關(guān)鍵詞：AIS ideas reproduce/ copying

定位原文: F段第1句話 “Of course, there’s nothing…”

解題思路: 題干中的reproduce是復(fù)制的意思，之后從 文章 中發(fā)現(xiàn) 句子 有復(fù)制copying，即可以直接定位。

Question 5

答案：D

關(guān)鍵詞：Obstacle, investigated/ impact, monitor

定位原文: D段第6句“... to monitor heart rate…”

解題思路: 題干提到理想成績的障礙是如何被調(diào)查研究的，而讀到對應(yīng)句子之后看到正好是sensors(傳感器)對于運(yùn)動員跑步的impact(影響)進(jìn)行研究的儀器，而且obstacles和impact對應(yīng)。

Question 6

答案：A

關(guān)鍵詞：Overview, funded support finance

定位原文: A段倒數(shù)第2句 “...finances programmes of excellence…”

解題思路: finances是解題關(guān)鍵，意思為資助，正好跟題干中funded support表達(dá)了相同的義項，直接對應(yīng)。而且之后一句話提及以上項目所提供的服務(wù)和建議，可以確信答案。

Question 7

答案：E

關(guān)鍵詞：Calculated before an event/ using data, well before a championship

定位原文: E段第1句、第2句 “Using data is a complex business. Well before a championship, ...”

解題思路: 首先通過well before a championship和文章中before an event定位到E段， 之后發(fā)現(xiàn)后面提及的“競爭模型”作用就是計算時間和速率，因此內(nèi)容對應(yīng)上calculate，此時可斷定答案的位置。

Question 8

答案：A

關(guān)鍵詞: digital cameras

定位原文: C段倒數(shù)第3句: “..SWAN system now used in Australian national…”

解題思路: 前一句已經(jīng)提到該系統(tǒng)已廣泛應(yīng)用于澳大利亞各項全國賽事之中，而沒有提到其他國家，因此可以判斷應(yīng)該只有澳大利亞人在使用。

Question 9

答案：B

關(guān)鍵詞：sensor

定位原文: D段第7句：“...With the Cooperative Research Centre for Micro…”

解題思路: 找到相同對應(yīng)詞sensor，讀其前后的句子，發(fā)現(xiàn)有 Melbourne，斷定是澳大利亞人的發(fā)明。之后要特別留心動詞develop運(yùn)用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時，表示正在開發(fā);而且注意之后的定語從句采用了將來時，所以可以斷定此發(fā)明還沒有完成，應(yīng)該屬于將來的成果。因此選擇B。

Question 10

答案: A

關(guān)鍵詞：protein

定位原文: D段倒數(shù)第4句: “… AIS and the University of Newcastle…”

解題思路: 非常容易在前面第一句話中找到跟題目protein tests所對應(yīng)的詞語a test ...protein。之后細(xì)讀前后句，發(fā)現(xiàn)后面一句話對于此項科技成果的受益者文章中只提到AIS運(yùn)動員，即澳大利亞體育學(xué)院的運(yùn)動員，隸屬于澳大利亞，所以應(yīng)該選擇A。

Question 11

答案：C

關(guān)鍵詞: altitude tent

定位原文: F段倒數(shù)第2句: “The same has happened to the ‘a(chǎn)ltitude tent ’…”

解題思路: 文章中很容易找到用引號括起來的題目中的名詞 短語 ，因此只要細(xì)心讀原句，就會發(fā)現(xiàn)開頭的‘The same has happened...’同樣的事情也發(fā)生在……根據(jù) 經(jīng)驗 應(yīng)該順著文章向上追溯，發(fā)現(xiàn)跟‘a(chǎn)ltitude tent’相同情況的是1996年奧運(yùn)會上澳大利亞人受益的流線型散熱運(yùn)動服現(xiàn)在全世界都在用。因此 ‘a(chǎn)ltitude tent’也被世界各國應(yīng)用。所以答案應(yīng)該選擇C。且根據(jù)此段話大意可以了解文章只提到兩種研究成果被別國運(yùn)用，即髙原帳蓬和流線型散熱服。所以可以間接判斷前三項成果是由澳大利人獨享的。

Question 12

答案： (a)competition model

關(guān)鍵詞： help an athlete plan, produced / prepare the athlete by, developing

定位原文: E段第1句“Using data…”

解題思路: Help an athlete plan their performance 對應(yīng)上prepare the athlete by之后，要認(rèn)真研究題目所問的是what is produced,斷定所作答案必定要填一個名詞。因此要細(xì)讀原文發(fā)現(xiàn)有單詞developing恰與produced相對應(yīng)，中文意思是“開發(fā)”，則答案必定是開發(fā)之后的名詞。

Question 13

答案： (by)2 percent/%

關(guān)鍵詞： 19% Olympic Games, cyclists, improve

定位原文: F段第3句“At the Atlanta…”

解題思路: 分析問句是 ‘By how much... improve’，意思為“提高了多少”，可以判斷出答案需要寫一個數(shù)字。因此仔細(xì)閱讀相關(guān)語句找到 sliced as much as two per cent off cyclists ‘a(chǎn)nd rowers’ time。很快就可以找到數(shù)字百分之二

。
