2018年的最后一周,宜复盘,宜总结,宜展望。在离2019年的第一场雅思考试还有10天的时间,本文将对2018年的雅思阅读考情进行回顾、总结,帮助“烤鸭”们摸清套路,助各位2019“屠鸭”之路一臂之力。
雅思阅读一共有填空题,判断题,匹配题,选择题和段落主旨题五种(题目难度从小到大依次排列)。纵观2018年的48场雅思阅读考试,填空题和判断题两种基础题型的题目数量占比仍然超过总题量的50%,依旧是2019年各位考生备战雅思阅读的重中之重。
值得关注的是,匹配题在2018年的考查频次有所增加。作为难度中等的题目,匹配题对于考生的学术词汇储备量,同义替换敏感度以及句子信息理解的流畅度都有较高要求。2018年度中阅读难度较大的几场阅读考试(如9月15日场次,10月20日场次和12月15日场次考试),都是因为出现了较多的匹配题,使得考生出现时间不够,做不完题目的情况。因此建议同学们在2019的备考中要特别注意匹配题的练习。
好消息是段落主旨题的考查频次大大降低,2018年全年考查频率仅仅为4%,这一变化趋势可谓是让广大遇上段落主旨题就手足无措同学可以稍微喘一口气。
从文章题材上来看,科技类和人文社科类题目仍然是目前雅思阅读考试的考察重点,而且话题都比较抽象,之间还会涉及一些自然类、历史类、动植物类和文化类等文章。
在2019年,阅读题的文章题材呈现多样化的趋势,文章中的生词也会增多。而且由于配对题和选择题的增加,文章中对学生长难句的语法要求也将越来越高,所以无形之中我们的答题时间会变得比较紧迫,大家在备考的时候一定要注意这个问题。建议同学们在备考的过程中,除了必要的刷剑桥真题以外,还要做好题干和答案句之间同义替换的梳理和积累工作。稳扎稳打,提升词汇量和理解力才是王道。
