2018年4月21日雅思閱讀考試回憶及解析
一、 考試概述:
今天的考試第一篇和第三篇都不算難,雖然第一篇的話題很新,但文章并沒有涉及太多生僻的方面,只是老生常談的講了開墾荒地,種植農(nóng)業(yè)等內(nèi)容,而且題型比較友好,最適合先做。但是第二篇出現(xiàn)了很多專業(yè)詞匯,影響烤鴨們的閱讀速度和答題,另外這篇文章的題型也稍難,會影響考生的心情,建議先做第三篇。
二、具體題目分析
Passage 1:
題目:The Baobabs of Madagasgar 猴面包樹
題型:6判斷題+7填空題
題號:舊題
文章大意: 第一部分:背景。面包樹的生長區(qū)域、生長周期、品種以及Avene des Baobads 是最佳的觀賞地區(qū)。
第二部分:這種樹具備的宗教和精神記憶。
第三部分:具體說明Avene des Baobads這個地區(qū)的環(huán)境,其實是man-made的,因為當(dāng)?shù)氐腸learance以及burning等行為
第四部分:面臨一定的風(fēng)險及其原因,比如water、cyclone;在森林地區(qū)面臨風(fēng)險有三個原因:farming、logging和animals。
第五部分:Jim Bondie用兩種方式把這一物種記錄下來:編制遠(yuǎn)航圖,或用兒童書籍記錄
參考答案:
1-6) 判斷題
1. FALSE。All Baobabs can be found here.在原文第一段一共8個品種,其中6個在Baobabs,所以題目是對原文信息的否定。
2. FALSE。Can be found in most areas.但是原文提到:只是集中在個別地區(qū)。
3. NOT GIVEN。A and Grandielir is the first botanist to study… 原文說樹的名字是以19世紀(jì)的這兩研究人員命名的。
4. TRUE。Avene des Baobads主要是通過農(nóng)業(yè)形成的,因為原文指出:man-made, farming and clearance 等人類行為,所以是同意替換。
5. TRUE。Baobads provide valuable products to the local people. 原文能夠找到同意說明。
6. 待補充。

參考文章:
Grandidier's baobabs have massive, cylindrical, long, thick, trunks, up to three meters across, covered with smooth, reddish-grey bark. They can reach 25 to 30 m (82 to 98 ft) in height. At certain times of the year the flat-topped crowns bear bluish-green palmate leaves, dark brown floral buds or spectacular flowers with white petals. The large, dry fruits of the baobab contain kidney-shaped seeds within an edible pulp.
The long-lived Grandidier's baobab is in leaf from October to May, and flowers between May and August. The flowers, said to smell of sour watermelon, open just before or soon after dusk, and all the pollen is released during the first night. The tree is pollinated by nocturnal mammals, such as fork-marked lemurs and insects like the Hawk Moth. The lemurs move through the canopies, inserting their snouts into the white flowers and licking nectar from the petal bases, resulting in pollen being deposited in the lemurs' faces, whereas the moth is slightly more effective at pollination because it is able to fly from tree to tree with most of its body covered in pollen.
The species bears ripe fruit in November and December. Unlike the baobabs of Africa and Australia, it appears that the seeds of the tasty fruit are not dispersed by animals. Lemurs are the only living animals on Madagascar that are capable of acting as seed dispersers, yet seed dispersal by lemurs has never been documented. In the past, however, this could have been very different. There are several species that have gone extinct since human colonization of the island (1,500 to 2,000 years ago) that could very likely have been dispersers of the seeds. This includes species of primates that were thought to be similar to baboons, and the heaviest bird that ever lived, the elephant bird, which had a powerful beak that could have opened large fruit. Today, water may be the means by which the seeds are dispersed.
Lack of water can sometimes be a problem for plants in Madagascar. It appears that the baobab overcomes this by storing water within the fibrous wood of the trunk, as the tree's diameter fluctuates with rainfall.
Passage 2:
題目:The use of dietar supplements 維生素缺鈣
題型:5段落信息配對題+5人物名稱配對題+4總結(jié)填空題
題號:新題
文章大意:
第一段:維生素C其實并沒有什么效果,防御流感的效果和常洗手沒有什么區(qū)別。scientific research shows that這句話其實非常具有誤導(dǎo)性,因為真正的科研只有極少數(shù)人懂,還有很多研究人員可能持相反的態(tài)度
第二段:研究人員Mark Bollard首先指出一個研究成果可能很快又會被其他研究人員否定,這讓大眾很迷茫。還有,目前所謂的random trail并不具備很高的可信度,更不用說drug companies的隨機調(diào)查,并沒有科學(xué)依據(jù),只是做行為分析。
第三段:Roy Jackson通過大量的樣本說明很多營養(yǎng)品作用不大,但是有些營養(yǎng)品在有些階段還是有效的,比如folic acid(葉酸)對于孕婦。
第四段:研究人員Reid對于鈣片的分析,曾經(jīng)的實驗受眾是一群特定的女性,不具代表性。原本說鈣片可以增加bone density,其實效果不大,而且會對心臟有影響。
第五段:研究人員Mark Bollard支持以上觀點。比如雖然很多人不認(rèn)可,但是鈣片銷量確實下降了60/100
第六段:一種新型營養(yǎng)品Omega3不能被生產(chǎn),研究者Stonehouse自己就在吃這個產(chǎn)品,認(rèn)為有用。Mkeaf認(rèn)為還是keep a good diet就好了。
