雅思阅读主要有以下八大题型:判断题(TURE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN),填空题(SUMMARY),段落标题配对题(LIST OF HEADINGS),配对题(MATCHING),选择题(MUTILPCHIOCE),填空题(COMPLETION),简答题(SHORT ANSWER)和图表题(TABLE)。其中前四类题型是雅思阅读的必考题型。本文主要分析填空题(SUMMARY)的读题和解题技巧。
一、 填空题的读题与解题
⑴填空题主要分为两类:目前归纳题有两种趋势,一种是题目贯穿在整篇文章,另一种是只隐藏在其中一二个段落。前者下文称为“有备选项”,后者下文称为“无备选项”。
①“有备选项”的填空题特征:题干内容分布在原文多个段落中,比较零散,题难度较大;要求考生出原文原词后,从备选项表格中出跟原文原词同义置换的选项,解题难度较大。
②“无备选项”的填空题特征:题干内容分布在原文2-3段中,因此要求考生准确定位题干在原
文中的出处,然后主意要填写原文原词即可。
⑵读题“四步走”。
①第一步:精读填空题题干的首段首句。
无论有备选项还是无备选项,首句一般不设空,因此通过划首句的关键词,能够帮助考生会原文准确定位出题方位,避免时间的浪费。通常,可以作为关键词回原文定位的包括:人名、地名、机构、时间、年代、数字、专有名词。
②第二步:处理第一个空格
如果首句模糊或首句设有空格,就要按照以下2步来处理第一个空格:第一,根据空格前后内容初步判断空格词性。一般填空题的题干词性都是名词、动词、形容词和副词,以前三者为主。第二,划“空前空后词”,这里所谓的“空前空后词”不是实际意义上的空前空后词,而是那些能够提示空格内容的词组和结构。
③第三步:继续处理其余空格
填空题的出题顺序也是按照原文行文顺序来的,考生按照处理第一个空格的方式继续处理其余空格即可。即便有逆向出题或是乱序,也是少数,而且也只会是两个近似空格的乱序。
④第四步:密切注意同义置换
填空题百分百考察同义置换——包括题干关键词的同义置换(无备选项)和空格内容的同义置换(有备选项)。同义置换有以下几种类型:a近义词置换——原文用develop,题干里却变化为evolve;b词性变化——原文用名词,题干里变成相应动词或动词词组;c语态变化——原文和题干常常出现主动和被动的互换;d数字和文字互换——原文用50%,题干变化为half。

Paper Recycling
Paper is different from other waste produce because it comes from a sustainable resourc
e: trees. Unlike the minerals and oil used to make plastics and metals, trees are replaceable. Paper is also biodegradable, so it does not pose as much threat to the environment when it is discarded. While 45 out of every 100 tonnes of wood fibre used to make paper in Australia comes from waste paper, the rest comes directly from virgin fibre from forests and plantations. By world standards, this is a good performance since the world-wide average is 33% waste paper. Governments have encouraged waste paper collection and sorting schemes and at the same time, the paper industry has responded by developing new recycling technologies that have paved the way for even greater utilization of used fibre. As a result, industry’s use of recycled fibres is expected to increase at twice the rate of virgin fibre over the coming years.
Already, waste paper constitutes 70% of paper used for packaging and advances in the technology required to remove ink from the paper have allowed a higher recycled content in newsprint and writing paper. To achieve the benefits of recycling, the community must also contribute. We need to accept a change in the quality of paper products; for example stationery may be less white and of a rougher texture. There also needs to be support froreplaceable
m the community for waste paper collection programs. Not only do we need to make the paper available to collectors but it also needs to be separated into different types and sorted from contaminants such as staples, paperclips, string and other miscellaneous items.
Question 1-7
Complete the summary blow of the reading passage. Choose ONE OR TWO WORDS from the reading passage for each answer.
From the point of view of recycling, paper has two advantages over minerals and oil in that firstly it comes from a resource which is (1)                and secondly it is less threatening to our environment when we throw it away because it is (2)              .  Although Australia’s record in the re-use of waste paper is good, it is still necessary to use a combination of recycled fibre and (3)                to make new paper. The paper industry has contributed positively and people have also been encouraged by (4)                to colle
ct their waste on a regular basis. One major difficulty is the removal of ink from used paper but (5)                are being made in this area. However, we need to learn to accept paper which is generally of a lower (6)              than before and to sort our waste paper by removing (7)                before discarding it for collection.
