同學們您是否也想知道雅思閱讀長難句重點信息找尋法則,這個問題的分析和解答呢?相信你通過以下的文章內(nèi)容就會有更深入的了解,話不多說,接下來就跟著中國教育在線小編一起看看吧。

雅思閱讀長難句重點信息找尋法則

雅思閱讀長難句重點信息找尋法則

借用文中的特殊符號

雅思閱讀中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的特殊符號有破折號;引號;冒號;括號.其中大多情況下兩個破折號或兩個逗號中間所夾雜的文字信息叫做插入成分;插入成分就是解釋說明前面的信息.此外,冒號后面的內(nèi)容也是起解釋說明的作用.如何利用這些特殊符號請看以下的例子:

雅思劍橋真題4(以下簡稱劍4)上72頁C段第二小段第一句話為:Sometimes it is slow: vast bubbles of magma - molten rock from the mantle - inch towards the surface, cooling slowly, to show through as granite extrusions (as on Skye, or the Great Whin Sill, the lava dyke squeezed out like toothpaste that carries part of Hadrians Wall in northern England). 很多學生一看到文中出現(xiàn)了magma;mantle以及granite等詞就開始有些暈.其實如果大家可以看到 it is slow后面出現(xiàn)了特殊符號冒號,那直接看冒號后面的信息就好了;而下文又出現(xiàn)了兩個破折號解釋前面.如此一來,vast bubbles of magma這4個詞就成了這句話的重點內(nèi)容了.

連詞來搜索關(guān)鍵信息

大家讀到的閱讀文章中充滿著大量的邏輯關(guān)系,比如遞進關(guān)系,轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系或比較關(guān)系.其中大多數(shù)轉(zhuǎn)折連詞(but; however; nevertheless等)后面接續(xù)的都是重點,那么我們該如何利用這些連接詞呢?請看下面的一個例子:

劍9上97頁A段第六行有一句話是這樣的:Museums used to look - and some still do - much like storage rooms of objects packed together in showcases: good for scholars who wanted to study the subtle differences in design, but not for the ordinary visitor, to whom it all looked alike. 這句話一共有42個單詞,那么大的信息量到底哪些是重點呢?借用上文說到的特殊符號冒號后面是關(guān)鍵信息這一說法,showcases后面出現(xiàn)了冒號,那么冒號前面的文字都可以不用看了.如果再往下讀,一個but轉(zhuǎn)折連詞就會出現(xiàn)在我們面前,而to whom it all looked alike是一個非限定性定語從句,即使去掉,主句的意思和邏輯關(guān)系也不受影響.這樣一來,這句話最關(guān)鍵的信息就成了:but not for the ordinary visitor這6個單詞了.

使用賓語從句知識

如果一個句子中出現(xiàn)show;suggest;display;illustrate;indicate等意思為表明或展示的謂語動詞的時候,它們后面都可以接賓語從句,而這些賓語從句大多數(shù)都比較重要.如此一來,大家就不用太去糾結(jié)主句該怎么翻譯了,而在考試的時候也沒有那么多時間去逐字翻譯.

例如:劍橋雅思6的94頁D段倒數(shù)第二句話:In Norway, after an intervention campaign was introduced nationally, an evaluation of forty-two schools suggested that, over a two-year period, bullying was halved. 這句話雖然有一堆逗號,但是大家可以一點點往后推:跳過InNorway這兩個詞,再跳過after引導的狀語從句,就會發(fā)現(xiàn)后面出現(xiàn)…suggest that…賓語從句,即后面是重點信息.over a two-year period這個時間段不是重點,因此也可以直接跳過,然后大家會發(fā)現(xiàn)這句話就只剩下了bullying was halved這3個詞了.

雅思閱讀分組閱讀法則

小組閱讀,這是根據(jù)句子成分拆解文章中的長句,以幫助考生更好地理解句子的意思。所謂的句子結(jié)構(gòu)只不過是主語和謂語的補語,語法也是從它擴展而來的。例如,我們討論的定語從句是在主語和謂詞之間插入一個屬性來修改主語。對主謂詞的不同修改也導致了許多謂詞從句,對象從句,介詞等。

因此對很多雅思閱讀中的長難句而言,無非就是從簡單句添加定語、補語狀語等成分后轉(zhuǎn)化成的復雜句。因此小站君談到的分組式閱讀其實就是講長難句或者詞組進行劃分不同的部分進行閱讀,先找到主謂賓,再找相對應(yīng)的修飾語句。這樣句子被歸組之后,除了能夠理清句子強調(diào)的重點之外,更能提高我們雅思閱讀的意義。我們可以通過劍橋雅思6 Test4 Passage2第8段其中一部分進行比較:

The results of the study lend support to the World Bank’s recommendation that education budgets in developing countries should be increased, not just to help their economies, but also to improve child health.

考生如果逐字逐句的劃分的話,則需要差不多30多次的停頓才能讀完這句話,意思往往會被錯誤理解,例如研究表明預算給世界銀行會幫助提高經(jīng)濟,還能增加兒童健康。這種理解往往產(chǎn)生主語的歧義。如果我們按照雅思分組式閱讀法來看,只需要幾次的停頓就可以很容易讀懂這句長句的真正意思:為研究表明增加教育預算給世界銀行能夠有助于發(fā)展中國家經(jīng)濟建設(shè)和兒童健康的提高。

The results of the study / lend support /to the World Bank’s recommendation that / education budgets in developing countries / should be increased, / not just /to help their economies,/ but also /to improve child health.

此外,很多考生很簡單的認為這種雅思分組式閱讀法無非就是解構(gòu)句子,然后進行閱讀理解。其實這只說對了一部分,考生通過對相關(guān)的分組,能夠避免以單個單詞為單位進行逐個閱讀,就是常規(guī)的逐字逐句。逐字逐句閱讀不僅很容易對句子的意義產(chǎn)生誤解,而且速度很慢。應(yīng)對小篇幅的文章而言,逐字逐句閱讀是可以的;但是對于雅思閱讀這種偏學術(shù)類(文章,文章篇幅過長且考試時間緊張,并不適用),考生們在國外接受純英語授課,需要閱讀和接受大量的外文資料,逐字逐句閱讀實在效率太低了。

不僅可以通過語法劃分,還能通過詞組劃分,以小組為單位進行理解,除了快速理清句子的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)之外,還能保證文章的連貫性。先看看詞組劃分,進行分組式閱讀。如下例所示:

This glass / has five times the strength of / standard glass,/ and when it does break / it / shatters into tiny cubes / rather than / large, razor-sharp shards. (劍5 Test4 Passage2)

很多考生都有這個共識,單詞是一個意思,但是組成詞組意思會大相徑庭,不同單詞的搭配,詞組的意思也是變化不同。所以當考生看到句子中的詞組,應(yīng)該快速進行分組,然后進行閱讀全句的準備。比如“away”和其他單詞的組合:go away(走開),take away(拿走),pass away(去世)。

Long-day plants / are adapted for situations / that require fertilisation by insects,/ or a long period of seed ripening. (劍5 Test4 Passage3)

看看上述例子,主語是Long-day plants,謂語是are adapted for situations,修飾謂語的賓語從句是that require fertilisation by insects.因此考生可以很快進行語法劃分,進行分組式閱讀。上文也提到過句子的結(jié)構(gòu)其實很簡單,因此我們按照句子中的主語,謂語,賓語進行分組,然后對修飾主謂賓的成分——定狀補進行分組,這樣就有更好理解句子的意思,而且能更快掌握。
