雅思閱讀“段落標(biāo)題”的趨勢(shì)閱讀法
有些時(shí)候，選項(xiàng)標(biāo)題不是對(duì)于段落的概括，而是對(duì)于段落中某處細(xì)節(jié)的概括。在這種情況下，題目就會(huì)變得很難。做題方法依然不變。這種題目一開(kāi)始肯定無(wú)從選擇，所以放在最后用排出法做，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)選項(xiàng)中沒(méi)有一個(gè)標(biāo)題能涵蓋段意。到此為止，除了通讀全段別無(wú)他法。當(dāng)然通讀也應(yīng)得法。在這兒順便講一種方法，我稱之為主題趨勢(shì)閱讀法，此法主要用于段落中大量細(xì)節(jié)的掃讀，省時(shí)省力。在閱讀中碰到長(zhǎng)句時(shí)，不能從左到右，依次逐字讀之，而先是要查找句子的主題。主題一般為具體名詞，出現(xiàn)在主語(yǔ)和賓語(yǔ)的位置上。然后查看主題的趨向，通常就是作者對(duì)主題的態(tài)度，有褒貶之分，所以主要看句內(nèi)的形容詞和動(dòng)詞。掌握這兩點(diǎn)，其實(shí)句子的意思就已經(jīng)掌握。然后依次類推，讀完段內(nèi)所有句子。請(qǐng)?jiān)倏匆粚?shí)例：
life for the descendants of the thule people is still harsh. nunavut is 1.9 million square kilometers of rock and ice, and a handful of islands around the north pole. its currently home to 2500 people, all but a handful of them indigenous inuit. over the past 40 years, most have abandoned their nomadic ways and settled in the territorys 28 isolated communities, but they still rely heavily on nature to provide food and clothing. provisions available in local shops have to be flown into nunavut on one of the most costly air networks in the world, or brought by supply ship during the few ice-free weeks of summer. it would cost a family around 7,000 pounds a year to replace meat they obtained themselves through hunting with imported meat. economic opportunities are scarce, and for many people state benefits are their only income.

筆者寫(xiě)這篇文章的目的與其說(shuō)是為了探討段落標(biāo)題題，不如說(shuō)是提醒考生讀文章的重要性。總而言之，考生在準(zhǔn)備考試時(shí)，切不可只顧做題，而忽視了閱讀能力的訓(xùn)練。就拿劍橋這幾本書(shū)來(lái)說(shuō)，要考高分，上面的文章必須逐一精讀。
