'Not having enough time' is the biggest problem for most people taking the reading test. Here are some tips for dealing with this problem:
时间不够是雅思阅读考生面临的最大问题。下面是解决这个问题的一些技巧:
1.Go straight to the first question. Don't waste time reading the full passage or the first sentence of each paragraph, and don't read any of the other questions.
直接做第1题。不要把时间浪费在阅读全文或每段第1句上,也不要读其它问题。
2.Do 'paragraph' questions last. Questions that ask you to match headings or statements with paragraphs are much easier if you are already familiar with the passage.
最后做段落题。在你熟悉段落内容后,标题或观点匹配题会变得简单的多。
3.Don't get stuck on one question. As soon as you realise that you are having difficulties with a question, leave it and move to the next one. Return to difficult questions later if you have time.
别卡在某个问题上。一旦你发现自己做某道题时遇到困难,抛开它去做下一题。如果你有时间,最后再回头做这些难题。
4.Remember that the answers to most question sections are in order in the passage. You don't need to go back to the beginning of the passage to search for each answer.
记住,大多数问题的答案是按顺序出现在文章里的。不需要回头,从文章开头找每道题的答案。
5.Only skim or scan for numbers and names. Otherwise, read at normal speed.
略读或扫读数字和人名。其它部分则用正常速度阅读。
6.Work with an alarm. You can't do this in an exam, but at home you could set the alarm (on your phone) for 2 minutes and try to do each question within this time.
用闹钟做练习。你没法在考试的时候这么做,但在家里,你可以用闹钟或手机定时,试着在2分钟内做完1道题。
Note:
注意:
When preparing for the reading test at home, try not to worry about time at first. Your first concern should be to get the score you need, even if it takes you 3 hours instead of 1 hour to do a full test.
在家里准备阅读考试时,一开始别担心时间。你首先要关心的是拿到你要的分数,就算要花3小时而不是1小时来做完所有试题。
