刚开始接触雅思阅读，考生们会发现雅思阅读和国内的一些英语考试还是有很多不同。 今天小编给大家带来了雅思阅读考试简介,希望能够帮助到大家，一起来学习吧。
雅思阅读考试简介
雅思阅读简介
雅思考试分为A类和G类，这个考生们都知道。在A类和G类雅思考试中，听力和口语考试是一样的，但阅读和写作的题目完全不同。这是基于留学和移民人群的不同考察方向。
雅思阅读一共是3篇文章，40题，每题一分，按照分数段0-9分划分。考试总时间60分钟(含答案誊写时间)。
雅思A类阅读文章主要涉及一些大学学术文章，包含人文社科、科学技术甚至医学等多个领域的科普文章。而雅思G类阅读文章则偏向于生活和实际应用文，比如广告，传单，报纸等。
整体上雅思阅读每篇的篇幅在1800-2200字左右，整个考试时间还是比较紧张的。
雅思阅读文章来源
这里只说A类雅思阅读的文章来源，大部分摘选自国外主流媒体的报刊杂志，或某些政府及组织的研究报告等，并适当做改写。
雅思阅读真题中出现过：太空，宇宙概况，以及外星生物探讨;全球气候变暖，厄尔尼诺，洋流异常，臭氧层破坏;环境保护(海洋，生物，陆地，森林等)及环境污染(化学，石油泄漏等)，语言学，考古学，生物学，简单医学等等。
比如国外知名的：新科学家，就是一份内容水平很高的科普杂志，不仅雅思，托福及其他考试中，这类期刊杂志的文章常常被引用。
还有大家比较熟悉的《国家地理》、《科学美国人》等。因为其文章的学术性强，权威性很高，在欧美国家民众心目中有很高的地位。
雅思阅读中引用的其他杂志包括：《自然》、《泰晤士报》等。
G类雅思阅读的内容来源就比较杂了，主要是其文章覆盖面很广，包括菜单、产品说明书、通知和广告等，都是实用性很强的应用型文章，基本来源于一些生活报刊或广告宣传页。
雅思阅读题型简介
雅思阅读题型包括：选择题、填空题、判断题和配对题，以此延伸出的题型还有信息匹配题，标题配对，及句子总结题，流程图及地图题等。
选择题包括单选和多项题，这个不再强调了。
关于雅思阅读判断题，不同于国内的T/F，雅思阅读判断题多了Not Given.
配对题包括信息配对和段落标题配对题。
整体上雅思阅读题目是按照顺序原则出题，只有配对题的题目是不按照文章的顺序来的。
雅思阅读备考计划
通过上面的介绍，考生们大致可以做个雅思阅读备考计划。在刷题之外，考生们主要的复习重心还是要放在词汇积累和阅读题型技巧掌握上。
关于雅思阅读词汇量，官方没有划定界限，不过一般要求是4000-8000，具体词汇以剑雅真题上雅思阅读部分的内容做参考。不过雅思阅读词汇的要求并不高，对于专业词汇考生不必掌握，大部分冷门专业词汇并不会影响考生的整体阅读。而其他词汇则只需要了解大意，不需要拼写。
雅思阅读对考生的学术知识储备要求较高，所以平时可以适当进行泛读训练。一方面是词汇量的积累，背景知识的拓展，对于阅读内容的熟悉程度一定程度上也能提高雅思阅读做题速度。
雅思阅读材料：美国胖妹为比伯减肥110斤
A Justin Bieber superfan has lost more than eight stone in a bid to make her pop star idol notice her.
一位贾斯汀-比伯的超级粉丝为了让偶像注意到她，减掉了超过八英石的体重。
Now weighing in at 10.5 stone Bryanna Debinder, 20, shed an incredible 122 lbs in just a year after becoming jealous of the slim girls who were pulled on stage by Bieber during his concerts.
现在重10.5英石(约合66公斤)，20岁的布里安娜仅仅一年就减掉了122磅(约为110斤)的体重，只是因为嫉妒那些可以在演唱会上被比伯拉上台的苗条女孩们。
'Every time I saw him pull up a pretty, slim girl on stage, I just thought: 'that should be me',' said Bryanna, of Temple, near Reading, Pennsylvania.
“每次我看到他拉那些漂亮苗条的女孩上台，我都会想’那个人应该是我!’”来自宾夕法尼亚州开普的布里安娜这样说道。
'Everyone deserves a chance to be noticed by the person they love, and I'm his biggest fan.
“每个人都有机会得到她爱的人的注意，而且我是他的超级粉丝。”
The Penn State University psychology student's obsession with Bieber, also 20, began when she saw him on MTV in 2009.
这位宾夕法尼亚州立大学心理学专业的学生和比伯同龄，2009年在MTV上见到比伯后自此迷得一发不可收拾。
As the then clean-cut pop star crooned to his platinum-selling single 'One Time', Bryanna fell in love and there began an obsession that would change her life.
当时长相清秀的流行歌手比伯深情演唱了白金单曲《One Time》，布里安娜陷入了爱河，并开始完全痴迷并从此改变了她的生活。
雅思阅读材料：生活艰难时需要做的13件事
We’ve all gone through hard times. And we all get through them. However, some get through them better than others. So what is their secret? Most of it has to do with attitude. Here are 13 things to remember when life gets rough:
我们都有过灰暗的日子，也都熬过来了。然而有些的人心态会比其他人要好，他们的秘诀是什么?其实主要就是取决于你的态度罢了。看看生活艰难时可以做的13件事吧。
1. What is, is
坦然接受现实
Buddha’s famous saying tells us: “It is your resistance to ‘what is’ that causes your suffering.” Think about that for a minute. It means that our suffering only occurs when we resist how things are. If you can change something, then take action! Change it! But if you can’t change it, then you have two choices: (1) either accept it and let go of the negativity, or (2) make yourself miserable by obsessing over it.
佛教有句经典的话：“你的痛苦都源于对现实的抗拒。”好好想想这句话。这意味着只有当你不接受现实时才会产生痛苦。如果你能改变什么，那就开始行动吧，改变它!但如果无法改变，你就有两个选择，(1)要不去接受要不就忽视消极的部分，或者(2)不断的折磨自己让自己更加痛苦
2. It’s only a problem if you think it’s a problem
只有你觉得这是个问题的时候才会是个问题
Many times, we are our own worst enemy. Happiness is really dependent on perspective. If you think something is a problem, then your thoughts and emotions will be negative. But if you think it’s something you can learn from, then suddenly, it’s not a problem anymore.
很多时候，我们是自己的敌人。幸福取决于你的观察角度。如果你觉得一件事是个问题，那么你的想法和情绪都会变得消极。但如果你觉得这是学习的好机会，看看，突然就不是啥问题了。
3. If you want things to change, you need to start with changing yourself
如果你想改变什么，那就从改变自己开始吧
Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world. Don’t you know people whose lives are chaotic and stressful? And isn’t that largely because they feel chaotic inside? Yes, it is. We like to think that changing our circumstances will change us. But we have it backwards—we need to change ourselves first before our circumstances will change.
你的外在是内在的一个反应。你难道不觉得那些外表看起来乱糟糟亚历山大的人们其实内心也是一团乱麻么?的确是这样。我们总是觉得改变环境就能改变自己。其实我们弄反了-我们需要先改变自己才能随之改变环境。
4. There is no such thing as failure—only learning opportunities
没什么失败-这只是一个学习的机会而已
You should just wipe the word “failure” right out of your vocabulary. All great people who have ever achieved anything have “failed” over and over. In fact, I think it was Thomas Edison who said something like, “I did not fail at inventing the light bulb, I just first found 99 ways that it didn’t work.” Take your so-called “failures” and learn something from them. Learn how to do it better next time.
把“失败"这个词从你的字典里抹去吧。很多成就大事业的人都曾不止一次的失败过。实际上，我非常赞同爱迪生说的那句话”我从来没有在发明灯泡的过程中失败过，我只是找到了99种不可行的办法而已。“把你那些所谓的”失败“当成学习的机会吧。学着下次怎么做的更好。
5. If you don’t get something you want, it just means something better is coming
如果没有得到想要的，只说明你值得拥有更好的
That’s hard to believe sometimes, I know. But it’s true. Usually, when you look back at your life, you will be able to see why it was actually a good thing that something didn’t work out. Maybe the job you didn’t get would have made you spend more time away from your family, but the job you did get was more flexible. Just have faith that everything happens exactly the way it’s supposed to.
有时候的确很难去相信，但这是真的。通常，当你回过头看一看，就会发现正是一些事没有成功才会有后面的好事发生。也许那个没有拿到手的工作会让你无比繁忙没法陪家人，而获得的职位上班时间更加自由。只要相信，每件事都会有暗藏的方向。
6. Appreciate the present moment
珍惜当下
This moment will never come again. And there is always something precious about every moment. So don’t let it pass you by! Soon it will just be a memory. Even moments that don’t seem happy can be looked upon as something that you might miss someday. As the country song by Trace Adkins says, “You’re gonna miss this…you’re gonna want this back. You’re gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by so fast….you may not know this now, but you’re gonna miss this…”
正当时一去不复返。每个时刻都有宝贵的东西。所以不要让时间匆匆溜走!很快现在也会成为你回忆的一部分。每个你不快乐的时光在日后都会成为你去想念回忆的部分。就想Trace Adkin在乡村歌曲里唱的那般：”你会去怀念，会想重头再来。你会希望这些日子没有飞速流逝，也许现在你不知道，但你真的会去想念“
7. Let go of desire
减少欲望
Most people live with “attached mind.” What this means is that they attach themselves to a desire, and when they don’t get it, their emotions plummet into negativity. Instead, try to practice “detached mind.” That means that when you want something, you will still be happy whether you get it or not. Your emotions remain happy or neutral.
很多人在”欲望中“生存。也就是他们会把自己和欲望紧紧联系在一起，当没有得到满足，他们的就会产生消极的情绪。与其这样，不如试着给自己的思想减负吧。意思就是你想要什么的时候，无论得到没得到都会一样的开心。你的情绪不会受到太大的干扰。
8. Understand and be grateful for your fears
理解感激你的恐惧
Fear can be a great teacher. And overcoming fears can also make you feel victorious. For example, when I was in college, I feared public speaking (one of the top 3 fears of all humans). So I find it humorous now that not only do I speak in front of a group every day by being a college professor, I also teach public speaking! Overcoming fears just takes practice. Fear is really just an illusion. It’s optional.
恐惧可以是你的好老师。战胜恐惧也能让你更加强大。比如，我读大学的时候，我害怕公开演讲(这大概是排名前三会让人类恐惧的事情)。然而现在我不仅会作为一个大学教授每天在一群人面前说话，还会教公开演讲的课程，这真是非常有意思的事情。战胜恐惧需要联系。恐惧只是幻觉，就看你的选择了。
9. Allow yourself to experience joy
允许自己享乐
Believe it or not, I know way too many people who don’t allow themselves to have fun. And they don’t even know how to be happy. Some people are actually addicted to their problems and the chaos in them so much that they wouldn’t even know who they are without them. So try to allow yourself to be happy! Even if it’s just for a small moment, it’s important to focus on joy, not your hardships.
信不信，我知道很多人都不允许自己玩乐。他们甚至不知道如何开心。有些人深陷自身麻烦和烦扰无法自拔甚至不愿意试图去摆脱。所以要让自己开心起来!哪怕是很短的时间，好好的乐一乐非常重要，不要总是执迷于痛苦。
10. Don’t compare yourself to other people
不要跟别人比
But if you do compare yourself, compare yourself with people who have it worse than you. Unemployed? Be grateful that you live in a country that gives unemployment compensation, because most people in the world live on less that $750 a year. So you don’t look like Angelina Jolie? Well, I bet there are more people who don’t than do. And you are probably way better looking than most people. Focus on that.
如果真的要去比，那就把自己和比你差的人拿来比较吧。失业?感激你的国家还有失业保障制度吧，世界上大部分人年薪不到750美金。自己没有安吉丽娜朱莉那么漂亮?好吧，我觉得基本上大家都满足不了这点。而且你比大部分人好看。多想想这些吧。
11. You are not a victim
你不是受害者
You need to get out of your own way. You are only a “victim” of your own thoughts, words and actions. No one “does” something to you. You are the creator of your own experience. Take personal responsibility and realize that you can get out of your hard times. You just need to start with changing your thoughts and actions. Abandon your victim mentality and become victorious. From victim to VICTOR!
你需要从自己的框架中走出来。你只是自己想法、语言和行为的受害者。其他人不能对你做任何事。你是自己生活的导演。对自己负责，相信自己有能力走出困境。你只需要改变自己的想法和行动。把那种受害者心理赶走，积极点吧，从受害者转为成功者!
12. Things can—and do—change
事情可以——可以——改变
“And this too shall pass” is one of my favorite sayings. When we are stuck in a bad situation, we think that there is no way out. We think nothing will ever change. But guess what? It will! Nothing is permanent except death. So get out of the habit of thinking that things will always be this way. They won’t. But you do need to take some sort of action for things to change. It won’t magically happen all on its own.
“一切都会过去的”是我最喜欢的一句话。当我们身处困境，感觉毫无出路。我们觉得一切不会好转了。但猜猜会怎样?会好起来的!除去死亡没有什么是永恒的。所以不要再去固执的认为事情会一成不变了。都会变的。你需要行动起来做出改变。事情不会自己神奇的去发生转变的。“
13. Anything is possible
一切皆有可能
Miracles happen every day. Really—they do. I wish I had enough space to write about all the miraculous things that have happened to people I know—from healing stage 4 cancer naturally to having their soul mate appear out of nowhere. Trust me: it happens all the time. You just need to believe it does. Once you do, you have won the battle.
每天都有奇迹。真的是这样。我真希望有足够的空间写下那些发生过的奇迹-从四期癌症中自然治愈到突然遇到另一半。相信我：奇迹一直都在发生。你只需要去相信。一旦你信了，就赢了。
