怎么提高雅思阅读能力
Is it impossible for you to increase your IELTS Reading score?
Today get the 3 things you must do to get that score higher.
考生的普遍困惑
Reading is frustrating.阅读太难了
A lot of students tell us that they can't improve their score because they are bad readers or because they don't like to read.不喜欢阅读
What does it mean to say that you don't like reading?
You don't have to read mainstream novels that you don't find interesting.
应对方法
If you find a type of reading that you enjoy you can build a culture of thinking.不需要逼自己读那些不感兴趣的英文书，找个喜欢的话题或书籍去读，进而形成英文的文化思维.
You will also have great ideas for the IELTS Writing test and IELTS Speaking. 阅读的好处不仅仅在提高阅读水平上，也为雅思口语和写作提供了大量素材，相辅相成.
Reading genres like science fiction help us build our ability to come up with spontaneous and creative ideas.
Non-fiction can help you generate ideas and opinions on business, language, and globalization.
雅思阅读三大步
Step 1： Get into reading. Choose a type of material that you enjoy. You don't have to read what everyone else is reading. Choose what you like and stick with it.
第一步：深入理解每句话的含义，而不局限于单词的字面含义
Step 2： focus on test strategies. You cannot do this without strategies. You don't have enough time to read every word and take your time finding the answer on the reading test. We offer this in our course. We show you how to tackle every question type in reading and then you get two practice tests to make sure you can implement what you learn. If you are in a class and your teacher gives you 5 steps or more then that teacher doesn't know the test. You need a simpler system. Look for testimonials before you purchase a course.
第二步：恰当使用做题技巧. 多练习，多总结同义词替换和题型规律
Step 3： Practice, Practice, Practice. You can't just watch a video lecture, do practice exercises and move on. You need to do the practice tests, take the strategies and use them over and over again. Practice tests should not be free. If a school is giving away practice tests then you should be suspicious of that school because the quality of the practice tests might not be high.
第三步：唯有练习可以拯救你的分数. 雅思阅读是目的性阅读考试，拥有自己的做题节奏同样很重要. 不练习难以得到满意的分数.

雅思阅读模拟真题：Search begins for Earth beyond solar system
Search begins for 'Earth' beyond solar system
1. A European Spacecraft took off today to spearhead the search for another "Earth" among the stars.
2. The Corot space telescope blasted off aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan shortly after 2.20pm.
3. Corot, short for convection rotation and planetary transits, is the first instrument capable of finding small rocky planets beyond the solar system. Any such planet situated in the right orbit stands a good chance of having liquid water on its surface, and quite possibly life, although a leading scientist involved in the project said it was unlikely to find "any little green men".
4. Developed by the French space agency, CNES, and partnered by the European Space Agency (ESA), Austria, Belgium, Germany, Brazil and Spain, Corot will monitor around 120,000 stars with its 27cm telescope from a polar orbit 514 miles above the Earth. Over two and a half years, it will focus on five to six different areas of the sky, measuring the brightness of about 10,000 stars every 512 seconds.
5. "At the present moment we are hoping to find out more about the nature of planets around stars which are potential habitats. We are looking at habitable planets, not inhabited planets. We are not going to find any little green men," Professor Ian Roxburgh, an ESA scientist who has been involved with Corot since its inception, told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.
6. Prof Roxburgh said it was hoped Corot would find "rocky planets that could develop an atmosphere and, if they are the right distance from their parent star, they could have water".
7. To search for planets, the telescope will look for the dimming of starlight caused when an object passes in front of a star, known as a "transit". Although it will take more sophisticated space telescopes planned in the next 10 years to confirm the presence of an Earth-like planet with oxygen and liquid water, Corot will let scientists know where to point their lenses.
8. Measurements of minute changes in brightness will enable scientists to detect giant Jupiter-like gas planets as well as small rocky ones. It is the rocky planets - that could be no bigger than about twice the size of the Earth - which will cause the most excitement. Scientists expect to find between 10 and 40 of these smaller planets.
9. Corot will also probe into stellar interiors by studying the acoustic waves that ripple across the surface of stars, a technique called "asteroseismology".
10. The nature of the ripples allows astronomers to calculate a star's precise mass, age and chemical composition.
11. "A planet passing in front of a star can be detected by the fall in light from that star. Small oscillations of the star also produce changes in the light emitted, which reveal what the star is made of and how they are structured internally. This data will provide a major boost to our understanding of how stars form and evolve," Prof Roxburgh said.
12. Since the discovery in 1995 of the first "exoplanet" - a planet orbiting a star other than the Sun - more than 200 others have been found by ground-based observatories.
13. Until now the usual method of finding exoplanets has been to detect the "wobble" their gravity imparts on parent stars. But only giant gaseous planets bigger than Jupiter can be found this way, and they are unlikely to harbour life.
14. In the 2010s, ESA plans to launch Darwin, a fleet of four or five interlinked space telescopes that will not only spot small rocky planets, but analyse their atmospheres for signs of biological activity.
15. At around the same time, the US space agency, Nasa, will launch Terrestrial Planet Finder, another space telescope designed to locate Earth-like planets.

Answer keys:
1. 答案：A (第3段第1句：Corot, short for convection rotation and planetary transits, is the first instrument capable of finding small rocky planets beyond the solar system. A项中的certain planets指small rocky planets beyond the solar system.)
2. 答案：TRUE (第5段第1、2句： At the present moment we are hoping to find out more about the nature of planets around stars which are potential habitats. We are looking at habitable planets, not inhabited planets. 问题中的“that can be inhabited”意思就是inhabitable.)
