如何抓住雅思阅读文章核心
相信很多考生都想要知道如何提高自己的阅读能力，但是攻克阅读并非是一朝一夕的事情，是需要长期积累的，也是需要正确的方法和技巧的。所以很多考生在积累不够的情况下都会感觉到非常的吃力，那么如何抓住雅思阅读文章重点呢?一起来看一下吧。
在大部分考生备考时间紧、复习节奏快的前提下，笔者认为，通过结构阅读法有望在短时间内获得一定程度的提高。
结构阅读法是指基于文章内在的写作线索，把握文章段落大意，帮助在中定位。由于雅思阅读文章大都选自欧美国家的知名媒体和书刊，文章观点新颖，论述缜密，故而其内在的逻辑和线索，会组成清晰的结构(structure)。考生若能基本读懂各段落主句(Topic Sentence), 通常会对文章的大体结构有所认识，而这对于T / F / NG以及List of Headings中那些靠先读的方法反而越加迷茫和纠结的目和选项不啻为一种脱。
例如，剑5中page 18/Passage 1 /Test 1/ Questions 1-3:
Which THREE of the following statements are true of Johnson’s Dictionary?
A. It avoided all scholarly words.
B. It was the only English dictionary in general use for 200 years.
C. It was famous because of the large number of people involved.
D. It focused mainly on language from contemporary texts.
E. There was a time limit for its completion.
F. It ignored work done by previous dictionary writers.
G. It took into account subtleties of meaning.
H. Its definitions were famous for their originality.
我们来看本篇文章(page 16-17 / Cambridge V):
Paragraph 1: For the century before Johnson’s Dictionary was published in 1775...
(Topic Sentence)
第一段：介绍当时社会的语言使用背景。
Paragraph 2: There had, of course, been dictionaries in the past, the first of these...
(Topic Sentence)
第二段：讲述关于字典的历史。
Paragraph 3: Beyond the practical need to make order out of chaos, the rise of dictionaries is associated with the rise of the English middle class, who ...
第三段：对于字典的需求的呼声。
Paragraph 4: Johnson was a poet and critic who raised common sense to the heights of genius.
第四段：引入字典的编撰者Johnson, 介绍其背景，为接下来的内容铺垫。
Paragraph 5: James Boswell, his biographer, described the garret where Johnson worked as ‘fitted up like a counting house’ with a long desk running down...
第五段：开始字典编撰工作，条件艰辛。
Paragraph 6: The work was immense: filling about...
第六段：具体工作的描述，字典的特点。
Paragraph 7: After many vicissitudes the Dictionary was finally published on 15 April 1775.
第七段：终于出版，功成名就
Paragraph 8: Johnson had worked for 9 years, ’with little assistance of the learned...
第八段：回顾9年艰辛历程，鲜有支持，低调晦暗。
The Final Paragraph: The Dictionary, together with his other writing ...
末段：惊动国王，赠予抚恤金。
只需大体读过，便不难得知，文章的进展就是一部字典的“背景酝酿——导入作者——筹划——动笔——艰辛笔耕——终于出版——一朝成名”的发展过程，线索清晰明了，结构历历在目。
阅读上述主句所需时间也并非想象中很长，因为大体只需读过9个句子，所以花费的时间非但不会占用过多时间，反而因为给后面需要判断的statements提供了一个清晰可见的framework，而使得判断速度加快了。
我们看到，选项中大部分是关于字典的内容特点，所以考生会抛开首尾部分，而倾向于去读第六段，因为它在讲述字典的特点，会较多地包了选项所涉及的内容，判断因此显得从容多了。
类似的情况绝非独一无二，在剑5/ Test 1 / Passage 2 “Nature or Nurture?”一文中，同样包清晰可见的结构。它是顺着“实验话引入——实验介绍——实验规则——预计——实验结果——实验分——实验讨论”的线索展开的，仍然清晰可辨。同样对后面的Questions 14 ——19的Matching大有助益。
以上就是为大家整理的如何抓住雅思阅读文章重点的相关内容，希望能够对大家有所帮助。在备考雅思阅读的时候，找到合适的方法才是最重要的，所以切记不能够盲目，希望本篇文章的介绍能够帮助到大家。
