备考过雅思的同学都知道，雅思考试听、说、读和写4个模块中，很容易考高分的是阅读！而写作和口语是考生很害怕的。原因是阅读是看得见，摸得着，你可以照着原文抄写答案的！浏览高分考生的成绩单，不难发现，阅读基本都是在8分左右的。
　　阅读的高分，结合其他科目的不拉分成就了总分优秀的高分学员。但是对于有些考生来说，阅读可能是令他们“晕”的一门应了一句名言“one person’s meat is another person’s poison.”关于如何备考雅思阅读，在此，沈阳朗阁雅思阅读老师接合教学中烤鸭们的经验分享，自己的高分学员反馈信息，以及自己的备考经历，总结出了一些超级实用的建议，送给那些即将考雅思和还没取得理想成绩的烤鸭们，但愿大家能更加明确该如何备考，能让阅读真正能帮考生得高分。
　　雅思的全称IELTS International English Language Testing System.作为语言测试系统 词汇和语法无疑是阅读考试必备之“硬件”。其实，任何一种语言的学习都是离不开词汇的。俗话说: “巧妇难为无米之炊”，用英语说“without words, nothing can be conveyed”所以考生朋友一定要注意词汇的积累。例如判断题The loss of diversity is inevitable.如果考生不认识inevitable,这道题就难做对了。再如判断题The amount of open space in California has diminished over the last ten years. diminished一词是考点词，也就是本题的主要矛盾点，不认识，会直接影响题目的解答。而上面提到的两个词汇是雅思考试的基本词汇。
　　再举一个例子完成句子题 One of the brain’s most difficult tasks is to ……brain’s most difficult tasks 是这道题定位的关键词。原文：Making a rapid emotional assessment of the events of the moment is an extremely demanding job for the brain, animal or human. 其中demanding大家并不陌生。因为我们都认识demand要求，需求。但是它还有一个定义：A demanding job or task requires a lot of your time, energy, or attention.也就是“ 费时的;费力的;劳神的;要求很高的”
　　例句：He found he could no longer cope with his demanding job... 他发现自己已无力应对那份劳神费力的工作了。
　　在刚才的题目中brain’s most difficult tasks对应的是extremely demanding job，不知道这个意思就不容易找到这道题。
　　再例如判断题 For the earlier tribes, the concept of sufficiency is more important than the concept of quantity.题目思路应该是找到the concept of sufficiency 和the concept of quantity，核对more important than。原文：Our ancestors had little use for actual numbers, instead their considerations would have been more of the kind Is this enough? rather than How many?想要正确定位到这道题目考生需要认识sufficiency和quantity。阅读如此，写作，听力也是如此。
　　所以雅思考试需要有词汇做后盾，虽然不是有了词汇一定可以考出成绩，但是没有词汇，真的很难考出理想分数！阅读考试通常要求考生至少具备3000词左右的基本词汇，如果想要考高分的话，应该有4000---6000个词汇的储备。
　　除了词汇，语法也是雅思考试的硬件。特别是当考生词汇量一般，不可能看懂全部时，语法就可以帮大忙了。因为阅读中经常会出现较长的复合句，考生如果没有一定的语法基础是很难准确理解句子的。具体来说，考生起码要能准确判断一个句子的主谓宾。如The problem of how health-care resources should be allocated or apportioned, so that they are distributed in both the most just and most efficient way, is not a new one.先忽略so that……, 确定句子主语the problem，这句话意思就很明了了。对于复杂句来讲，找出主句，句子主干就可以了。问题是怎么才能迅速找出句子主干？沈阳朗阁老师给大家一些干货：去掉一些不重要的成分1.去掉插入语，如小括号里面的，破折号中间的，两个离得很近的逗号中间的，一般都是插入语。2.去掉从句，如定语从句，同位语从句，原因状语从句等。3.去掉介宾结构。4.去掉非谓语动词，如分词短语，不定式，动名词。
　　如：The second set of more specific changes that have led to the present concern about the distribution of health-care resources stems from the dramatic rise in health costs in most OECD countries, accompanied by large-scale demographic and social changes which have meant, to take one example, that elderly people are now major (and relatively very expensive) consumers of health-care resources.
　　这种句子不可能一眼看明白，但是阅读里面很常见。按照刚才的理论去掉定语从句that have led to the present concern about the distribution of health-care resources，插入语to take one example, 分词短语accompanied by large-scale demographic and social changes which have meant, to take one example, that elderly people are now major (and relatively very expensive) consumers of health-care resources.句子简化成了The second set of more specific changes stems from the dramatic rise in health costs in most OECD countries。再去掉介词短语in most OECD countries。意思简单易懂。主语the set of more specific changes 动词stems from 宾语the dramatic rise in health costs。
　　考试时间有限，即使是基础不错的考生也需要抓句子主干，这样才可以高效阅读，准确答题。
　　总之，雅思阅读考试既不是部分考生说的很简单也不是另一部分考生认为的超难。考生需要从基础和思路两方面注意积累，调整，阅读拿高分还是不成问题的。考生朋友主要的是要有耐心和信心，一步一个脚印，不可求急，不可求懒。只要备考的方法得当，梦想就会成真 。祝顺利屠雅！
