剑桥雅思阅读
因为剑桥系列一直是考官和雅思考生的桥梁，也注定会是雅思考试的风向标，剑九的出版，丰富了考生的备考资料。那么，《剑九》中传递了哪样的信息，延续了剑桥家族中哪些不变，又呈现了哪些变化，以及剑九对现在的雅思考试究竟有哪些指导意义?该如何有效而高效的利用起这本真题集，来实现内功与考试高分双增长的目标?
延续阅读经典题型
之前学生中道听途说有很多猜忌，说在留学大潮的当下，雅思考试为了选拔人才，会在2013年有所变革。
纵观《剑九》中收录的四套高水准的剑桥真题，各位考生大可不必慌张，雅思考试在今年，乃至可预见的2014年，这两年题型上应该不会有新题型出现，依然会延续剑桥家族中的经典题型。
雅思官网上把阅读部分题型分成十种，总体上分为五种大题型，和五种小题型。
前者分别是LIST OF HEADINGS 选段意题;MATCHING搭配题;TRUE，FALSE，NOT GIVEN OR YES，NO，NOT GIVEN判断题，MULTIPLE CHOICE选择题 和SUMMARY填空题。
那么五种小题型大部分是大题型SUMMARY的延续，比如填图表，填流程，看图填词，句子填空，和简答题。
大题型不能存在侥幸心里，五个题型都应该将解题思路烂熟于心，以在考场上迅速切换思路，争取速度，力求准确。
《剑九》文章收录最新
《剑四》、《剑五》中的文章主要集中在2001-2003这三年;《剑六》主要来自2004-2005年，《剑七》多数是2006年和2007年这两年，于是《剑八》中收录的文章，主要是考场上2008年考过的文章，部分来自2007年，个别来自2009年，这次《剑九》中收录的文章，比对了以往的考题，主要来自2009年，个别来自2011年和2012年。
其中有两篇文章在考场上考察了不下四次，这次也光荣退休到《剑九》的真题集中：IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE? (《搜索外星生物》 来自2002年，2004年6月26日，2007年1月20日，2009年12月19日)，和另外一篇 Venus in transit 《金星凌日》来自2007年5月19日，2008年6月21日，2009年2月28日和2012年4月28日)这就印证了我们一贯的猜测，考场上依然有很多旧题在用，有的甚至能用到4次才退休。
所以我们点题班上为学员整理的内容，还是十分有用的。虽然剑九中收录的文章较以往剑桥系列已经为最新的了(多为2009年)，但是很多不了解雅思出题动态的同学依然不满足，期待能多出现2012年或2011年的题目。
其实这是并无意义的，在雅思考试中，文章文本只是依托，我们的任务是做题得分。
结合了2012年全年47场考试141篇阅读文章，我们还是能够洞察出这次剑桥大学考试委员会在编篡剑九的时候还是用了心思的，他们侧重了题型的分配，对现在备考有很大的指导作用。
透露题型考察重点
就大题型而言List of headings 题目数量骤降，与2012年全年的7%数字吻合，体现骤降。
Matching题普遍上升，与2012年全年25%的数字，即每次考试近乎10道搭配题，数量一致，其中人名配理论为普通搭配型的重中之重，《剑九》中一共有两道大题是普通型的搭配，通通都是人名配理论。
另外搭配题中的段落配相关信息型飙升(即如下几个信息在原文中哪个自然段有所提及型)，请广大考生注意备考侧重。
其它的题型，判断题仍然占有绝对优势，Multiple choice 单多选题， 并无出众表现。SUMMARY 从数量上较以往剑桥系列有所下降，但是结合了它繁衍成的小题型来看一点都不少。
那么小题型中，《剑九》中虽没有出现表格题，但这对我们丝毫没有影响，因为表格题直接套用填空题的方法即可。
不过有意思的是，简答题象一匹黑马冲了出来，其它的剑桥系列都没怎么出题的简答题，在《剑九》中大量出现，有两点发现：
第一，完善了剑桥系列的阅读题型，针对简答题让考生有题可练，有题能练，而且能够通过剑九练透。
第二，让考生意识到，稍微方法不同与SUMMARY的小题型考察数量在增加，除了简答，完成句子中类似普通MATCHING题的比重也有所增加。
这个趋势已经从2013年的头几个月考试中能够显露出来。
如何高效利用《剑九》?
考前两周当真题冲刺用，结合听力部分，完全利用《剑九》当模拟题来考察自己的能力。
建议模考时间设定在周一和周三，周二和周四进行分析，周五查漏补缺，周六亲临考场。
做题顺序建议：按顺序即可：Test1- Test2-Test3-Test4 等级为： 中——难——难——中。解释一下，第一套用中等水平题目验证一下自己复习的是否充分有效，如果不如预期，停下来分析剑桥6，7，8做过的题目。
分析好了以后再回来操作剑九第二套，而后第三套，经历了难度递增之后，最后临考前加强信心，做第四套。
每每做完套题都不要立刻对答案，这样就不可避免的会对着答案往文章里去思考，从而不能达到能力的提高。
应该采取三步走，第一步，先严格计时做，第二步再可放松时间延时做，最后第三步翻着字典做。
三遍都经历之后，才可核对答案，记录下三次的答案是否有出入，找到自己的不足。
延时后能多对几个的，说明语言还不错，可能方法上有漏洞，以至于一卡时间，语言就发挥不出来了。
查字典后能多对上几个的，说明内功不足，这样短时间大体上就可以找到自己的问题。
然后需要静下心来，认真分析。错题对题都需要回原文，定位分析，推敲答案。

做好雅思的阅读题除了掌握对的 方法 ，也离不开我们日常的辛勤练习，下面我给大家带来雅思阅读动 植物类 真题及答案：The Pearl，一起加油吧！
雅思阅读动植物类真题：The Pearl
The Pearl
A
Throughout history, pearls have held a unique presence within the wealthy
and powerful. For instance, the pearl was the favored gem of the wealthy
during the Roman Empire. This gift from the sea had been brought back from
the orient by the Roman conquests. Roman women wore pearls to bed so
they could be reminded of their wealth immediately upon waking up. Before
jewelers learned to cut gems, the pearl was of greater value than the diamond.
In the Orient and Persia Empire, pearls were ground into powders to cure
anything from heart disease to epilepsy, with possible aphrodisiac uses as well.
Pearls were once considered an exclusive privilege for royalty. A law in 1612
drawn up by the Duke of Saxony prohibited the wearing of pearls by nobility,
professors, doctors or their wives in an effort to further distinguish royal
appearance. American Indians also used freshwater pearls from the Mississippi
River as decorations and jewelry.
B
There are essentially three types of pearls: natural, cultured and imitation. A
natural pearl (often called an Oriental pearl) forms when an irritant, such as
a piece of sand, works its way into a particular species of oyster, mussel, or
clam. As a defense mechanism, the mollusk secretes a fluid to coat the irritant.
Layer upon layer of this coating is deposited on the irritant until a lustrous
pearl is formed.
C
The only difference natural pearls and cultured pearls is that the irritant is
a surgically implanted bead or piece of shell called Mother of Pearl. Often,
these shells are ground oyster shells that are worth
significant amounts of money in their own right as
irritant-catalysts for quality pearls. The resulting
core is, much larger than in a natural pearl. Yet,
as long as there are enough layers of nacre (the
secreted fluid covering the irritant) to result in a
beautiful, gem-quality pearl, the size of the nucleus
is of no consequence to beauty or durability.
D
Pearls can come from either salt or freshwater sources. Typically, saltwater
pearls tend to be higher quality, although there are several types of freshwater
pearls that are considered high in quality as well. Freshwater pearls tend to
be very irregular in shape, with a puffed rice appearance the most prevalent.
Nevertheless, it is each individual pearls merits that determines value more
than the source of the pearl. Saltwater pearl oysters are usually cultivated in
protected lagoons or volcanic atolls. However, most freshwater cultured pearls
sold today come from China. Cultured pearls are the response of the shell to a
tissue implant. A tiny piece of mantle tissue from a donor shell is transplanted
into a recipient shell. This graft will form a pearl sac and the tissue will
precipitate calcium carbonate into this pocket. There are a number of options
for producing cultured pearls: use freshwater or seawater shells, transplant
the graft into the mantle or into the gonad, add a spherical bead or do it nonbeaded.
The majority of saltwater cultured pearls are grown with beads.
E
Regardless of the method used to acquire a pearl, the process usually takes
several years. Mussels must reach a mature age, which can take up t0 3 years,
and then be implanted or naturally receive an irritant. Once the irritant is
in place, it can take up to another 3 years for the pearl to reach its full size.
Often, the irritant may be rejected, the pearl will be terrifically misshapen, or
the oyster may simply die from disease or
countless other complications. By the end
of a 5 t0 10 year cycle, only 50% of the
oysters will have survived. And of the pearls
produced, only approximately 5% are of
substantial quality for top jewelry makers.
From the outset, a pearl fanner can figure
on spending over $100 for every oyster
that is farmed, of which many will produce
nothing or die.
F
Imitation pearls are a different story
altogether. In most cases, a glass bead is
dipped into a solution made from fish
scales. This coating is thin and may
eventually wear off. One can usually
tell an imitation by biting on it. Fake
pearls glide across your teeth, while the
layers of nacre on real pearls feel gritty.
The Island of Mallorca (in Spain) is known for its imitation pearl industry.
Quality natural pearls are very rare jewels. The actual value of a natural pearl
is determined in the same way as it would be for other “precious” gems.
The valuation factors include size, shape, color, quality of surface, orient
and luster. In general, cultured pearls are less valuable than natural pearls,
whereas imitation pearls almost have no value. One way that jewelers can
determine whether a pearl is cultured or natural is to have a gem lab perform
an x-ray of the pearl. If the x-ray reveals a nucleus, the pearl is likely a beadnucleated
saltwater pearl. If no nucleus is present, but irregular and small dark
inner spots indicating a cavity are visible, combined with concentric rings of
organic substance, the pearl is likely a cultured freshwater. Cultured freshwater
pearls can often be confused for natural pearls which present as homogeneous
pictures which continuously darken toward the surface of the pearl. Natural
pearls will often show larger cavities where organic matter has dried out and
decomposed. Although imitation pearls look the part, they do not have the
same weight or smoothness as real pearls, and their luster will also dim greatly.
Among cultured pearls, Akoya pearls from Japan are some of the most lustrous.
A good quality necklace of 40 Akoya pearls measuring 7mm in diameter sells
for about $1,500, while a super- high quality strand sells for about $4,500. Size
on the other hand, has to do with the age of the oyster that created the pearl (the
more mature oysters produce larger pearls) and the location in which the pearl
was cultured. The South Sea waters of Australia tend to produce the larger
pearls; probably because the water along the coast line is supplied with rich
nutrients from the ocean floor. Also, the type of mussel common to the area
seems to possess a predilection for producing comparatively large pearls.
G
Historically, the world’s best pearls came from the Persian Gulf, especially
around what is now Bahrain. The pearls of the Persian Gulf were natural
created and collected by breath-hold divers. The secret to the special luster of
Gulf pearls probably derived from the unique mixture of sweet and salt water
around the island. Unfortunately, the natural pearl industry of the Persian Gulf
ended abruptly in the early 1930’s with the discovery of large deposits of
oil. Those who once dove for pearls sought prosperity in the economic boom
ushered in by the oil industry. The water pollution resulting from spilled oil
and indiscriminate over-fishing of oysters essentially ruined the once pristine
pearl producing waters of the Gulf. Today, pearl diving is practiced only as
a hobby. Still, Bahrain remains one of the foremost trading centers for high
quality pearls. In fact, cultured pearls are banned from the Bahrain pearl
market, in an effort to preserve the location’s heritage. Nowadays, the largest
stock of natural pearls probably resides in India. Ironically, much of India’s
stock of natural pearls came originally from Bahrain. Unlike Bahrain, which
has essentially lost its pearl resource, traditional pearl fishing is still practiced
on a small scale in India.

雅思阅读技巧之词汇+ 总结
雅思阅读技巧锦囊一：英语词库
所谓英语词库是英语对英语的词库而非是英语对汉语的词库。每个烤鸭都清楚雅思是国际性考试而非中国性质考试，单词背其中文意思在考试过程中是无效的，题目和 文章 都没有中文的出现。雅思阅读就是在全文中的找答案，可是你所用定位的词很多时候不会老老实实的坐在原文里等着你，这就需要你具备英语 同义词 的能力。
比如剑桥6的67页的list of headings 的 key point 2 的首句中managers should ensure that all employees have specific goals and receive comments on how well they are doing in those goals. 与之相对应的答案是establish targets and give feedback 同意词组为：have specific goals等于establish targets，receive comments on how well they are doing in those goals等于give feedback。
雅思阅读技巧锦囊二：ability to paraphrase
Paraphrase意思是用英文的 句子 或者段落来解释其英文的句子或者段落。对于外语系的孩子来讲这种能力的考试是家常便饭，也就造就了他们的理解能力比非外语系的同学们好很多。这种能力在雅思阅读考试中也是司空见惯的。
例如：剑桥6的43页的判断题10. Cities with high level of bicycles usage can be efficient even when public transport is only averagely good. 很多孩子看见only习惯性判为NO。因为太绝对了。实则不然，答案为YES。对应于原文中two most ‘bicycle friend’ cities considered—Amsterdam and Copenhagen—were very efficient, even though their public transport systems were ‘ reasonable but special.
切记：高分的取得不只是靠技巧，阅读能力的提升非常的重要
雅思阅读必备高分三技能
技能一：拥有扎实的词汇语法基础及背景知识
这里强调的其实是英文基础的重要性。考生想要在考试过程中游刃有余，没有一定的词汇量基本是没有办法达成的。当然我们在考试中可以通过上下文，转折词等等猜测生词的意思。但是，一旦生词量超过一定比例，势必会影响考生的理解。说到理解，在雅思考试中碰到长难句是常有的事情。那么扎实的语法基础也是考生正确理解文章意义的一个重要的必备素质。
除去扎实的词汇语法基础之外，丰富的背景知识也是一名高分考生所必须的。雅思阅读考试人文社科类和自然科学类当中有众多小分支话题，涉及天文、地理、生物、地质、语言学、发展史等等众多领域。为了保证考试时的阅读效率及答题的正确性，考生需要在平时多多查阅相关资料，了解各类文章背景。
技能二：熟悉题型的做题思路和技巧和出题角度
雅思阅读考试的题型多种多样，有细节题，有主旨题，有考察整体理解的题型，也有考察辨别信息能力的题型。
因此，建议想要取得高分的学员，在掌握每种题型的解题技巧的同时，还需要研究的是考试的出题角度，仔细研究各种题型考察的是何种能力。然后有针对性的去锻炼这方面的能力。14年的雅思阅读考试中，所占比重最大的几类题型为细节 配对 题、是非无判断题、选择题。之前常考的 List of headings对在去年的考试中所占比例并不大。14年几乎每场考试都有细节配对题出现，那么其实可以反映出雅思考试更加注重考生的细节定位能力以及对于材料的理解能力。
技能三：充分到位的精读和模拟训练是必不可少的
精读是提高分数的唯一法宝。精读的方法是：
用一小时完整的做一个Test三篇文章，然后一篇文章一篇文章的开始精读。
查出每篇文章的所有生词，并要求认知。接着分析文章所有的长难句，翻译整篇文章。
把所有题的出题点在文章里标出来。我们要非常清楚对是为什么对，错是为什么错。精读可以提高同学们的词汇、长难句分析能力以及对整篇文章做题思路的理解。
模拟训练可以提高考生两方面的能力：一是考试答题顺序的安排。二是考试时间的合理分配。
首先是答题顺序的安排。考生并不用完全按照考试文章的顺序来答题。完全可以通过对于标题的浏览来确定文章大意。然后根据自己的熟悉程度来选择文章的先后顺序。
另外，在确定了文章的先后顺序之后，题目的先后顺序其实也是需要进行合理安排的。比如14年很流行的段落细节配对题，虽然经常出现在文章很靠前的位置，但是，无论什么样的位置出现，这种题型都应该放在最后来解决。除了答题顺序之外，考试时间的精确掌控也是考生是否能够取得高分的一个重要因素。雅思阅读考试是个精泛读结合过程，不是所有的文字都需要进行精读的，恰恰那些基础很好有能力有机会考到高分的考生，往往会犯全篇通读的错误，导致最后答题时间不够，没能完成所有的题目而不能取得满意的成绩。
保存并继续
另外要提醒考生注意的是，在平常的模拟考试中就养成是用答题卡的习惯，这样才不至于在考试的时候因为时间不够而出现答题卡不能填写完全的情况。相信很多次的模拟练习之后，考生一定有能力在考试时，用最合理的时间分配进行最佳顺序的答题，最终取得高分成绩。
