8月1号进行了八月初的第一场雅思的考试,相信大家对真题以及答案会非常的感兴趣、今天就由的我为大家介绍2020年8月1日雅思阅读考试真题答案。
一、考题解析
吵碰销P1 土地沙漠化
P2 澳大利亚的鹦鹉
P3 多重任务
二、名师点评
1.8月份首场考试的难度总体中等,有出现比较多的配对题,没有出现Heading题,其余主要以常规的填空,判断和选择题为主。文章的话题和题型搭配也是在剑桥真题中都有迹可循,所以备考重心依然还是剑桥官方真题。
2. 整体分析:涉及吵胡环境类(P1)、动物类(P2)、社科类(P3)。
本次考试的P2和P3均为旧题。P2是动物类的话题,题型组合为:段落细节配对+单选+summary填空,难度中等。题型上也延续19年的出题特点,出现配对题,考察定位速度和准确度。P3也出现了段落细节配对,主要是段落细节配对+单选+判断。三种题型难度中等,但是文章理解起来略有难度。
3. 部分答案及参考文章:
Passage 1:土地沙漠化
题型及答案待确认
Passage 2:澳大利亚的鹦鹉
题型:段落细节配对+单选+Summary填空
技巧分析:由于段落细节配对是完全乱序出题,在定位时需要先做后面的单选题及填空题,最大化利用已读信息来确定答案,尽量避免重复阅读,以保证充分的做题时间。

Passage3: multitasking
Multitasking Debate—Can you do them at the same time?
Talking on the phone while driving isn't the only situationwhere we're worse at multitasking than we might like to think we are. Newstudies have identified a bottleneck in our brains that some say means we arefundamentally incapable of true multitasking. If experimental findings reflectreal-world performance, people who think they are multitasking are probablyjust underperforming in all-or at best, all but one -of their parallelpursuits. Practice might improve your performance, but you will never be asgood as when focusing on one task at a time.
The problem, according to René Marois, a psychologist atVanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, is that there's a sticking pointin the brain. To demonstrate this, Marois devised an experiment to locate nteers watch a screen and when a particular image appears, a red circle,say, they have to press a key with their index finger. Different colouredcircles require presses from different fingers. Typical response time is about half a second, and thevolunteers quickly reach their peak performance. Then they learn to listen todifferent recordings and respond by making a specific sound. For instance, whenthey hear a bird chirp, they have to say "ba"; an electronic soundshould elicit a "ko", and so on. Again, no problem. A normal personcan do that in about half a second, with almost no effort. The trouble comeswhen Marois shows the volunteers an image, then almost immediately plays them asound. Now they're flummoxed. "If you show an image and play a sound atthe same time, one task is postponed," he says. In fact,if the second taskis introduced within the half-second or so it takes to process and react to thefirst, it will simply be delayed until the first one is done. The largestdual-task delays occur when the two tasks are presented simultaneously; delaysprogressively shorten as the interval between presenting the tasks lengthens(See Diagram).
There are at least three points where we seem to getstuck, says Marois. The first is in simply identifying what we're looking can take a few tenths of a second, during which time we are not able tosee and recognise a second item. This limitation is known as the"attentional blink": experiments have shown that if you're watchingout for a particular event and a second one shows up unexpectedly any timewithin this crucial window of concentration, it may register in your visualcortex but you will be unable to act upon it. Interestingly, if you don'texpect the first event, you have no trouble responding to the second. Whatexactly causes the attentional blink is still a matter for debate.
A second limitation is in our short-term visual 's estimated that we can keep track of about four items at a time, fewer ifthey are complex. This capacity shortage is thought to explain, in part, our astonishinginability to detect even huge changes in scenes that are otherwise identical,so-called "change blindness". Show people pairs of near-identicalphotos -say, aircraft engines in one picture have disappeared in the other -andthey will fail to spot the differences (if you don't believe it, check out theclips at /~rensink/flicker/download). Here again, though, thereis disagreement about what the essential limiting factor really is. Does itcome down to a dearth of storage capacity, or is it about how much attention aviewer is paying?
A third limitation is that choosing a response to astimulus -braking when you see a child in the road, for instance,or replyingwhen your mother tells you over the phone that she's thinking of leaving yourdad -also takes brainpower. Selecting a response to one of these things willdelay by some tenths of a second your ability to respond to the other. This iscalled the "response selection bottleneck" theory, first proposed in1952.
Last December, Marois and his colleagues published apaper arguing that this bottleneck is in fact created in two different areas ofthe brain: one in the posterior lateral prefrontal cortex and another in thesuperior medial frontal cortex (Neuron, vol 52, p 1109). They found this byscanning people's brains with functional MRI while the subjects struggled tochoose among eight possible responses to each of two closely timed tasks. Theydiscovered that these brain areas are not tied to any particular sense but aregenerally involved in selecting responses, and they seemed to queue theseresponses when presented with multiple tasks concurrently.
Bottleneck? What bottleneck?
But David Meyer, a psychologist at the University ofMichigan, Ann Arbor, doesn't buy the bottleneck idea. He thinks dual-taskinterference is just evidence of a strategy used by the brain to prioritisemultiple activities. Meyer is known as something of an optimist by his has written papers with titles like "Virtually perfect time-sharing indual-task performance: Uncorking the central cognitive bottleneck"(Psychological Science, vol 12, p101). His experiments have shown that withenough practice -at least 2000 tries -some people can execute two taskssimultaneously as competently as if they were doing them one after the suggests that there is a central cognitive processor that coordinates allthis and, what's more, he thinks it uses discretion: sometimes it chooses todelay one task while completing another.
Even with practice, not all people manage to achieve thisharmonious time-share, however. Meyer argues that individual differences comedown to variations in the character of the processor -some brains are just more"cautious", some more "daring". And despite urban legend,there are no noticeable
differences between men and women. So, according to him,it's not a central bottleneck that causes dual-task interference, but rather"adaptive executive control", which "schedules task processesappropriately to obey instructions about their relative priorities and serialorder".
Marois agrees that practice can sometimes eraseinterference effects. He has found that with just 1 hour of practice each dayfor two weeks, volunteers show a huge improvement at managing both his tasks atonce. Where he disagrees with Meyer is in what the brain is doing to achievethis. Marois speculates that practice might give us the chance to find lesscongested circuits to execute a task -rather like finding trusty back streetsto avoid heavy traffic on main roads -effectively making our response to thetask subconscious. After all, there are plenty of examples of subconsciou*ultitasking that most of us routinely manage: walking and talking, eating andreading, watching TV and folding the laundry.
But while some dual tasks benefit from practice, otherssimply do not. "Certain kinds of tasks are really hard to do two atonce," says Pierre Jolicoeur at the University of Montreal, Canada, whoalso studies multitasking. Dual tasks involving a visual stimulus andskeletal-motor response (which he dubs "in the eye and out the hand")and an auditory stimulus with a verbal response ("in the ear and out themouth") do seem to be amenable to practice, he says. Jolicoeur has foundthat with enough training such tasks can be performed as well together asapart. He speculates that the brain connections that they use may be somehowspecial, because we learn to speak by hearing and learn to move by looking. Butpair visual input with a verbal response, or sound to motor, and there's nodramatic improvement. "It looks like no amount of practice will allow youto combine these," he says.
For research purposes, these experiments have to be keptsimple. Real-world multitasking poses much greater challenges. Even the upbeatMeyer is sceptical about how a lot of us live our lives. Instant-messaging andtrying to do your homework? "It can't be done," he says. Conducting ajob interview while answering emails? "There's no way you wind up being asgood." Needless to say, there appear to be no researchers in the area ofmultitasking who believe that you can safely drive a car and carry on a phoneconversation. In fact, last year David Strayer at the University of Utah inSalt Lake City reported that people using cellphones drive no better thandrunks (Human Factors, vol 48, p 381). In another study, Strayer found thatusing a hands-free kit did not improve a driver's response time. He concludedthat what distracts a driver so badly is the very act of talking to someone whoisn't present in the car and therefore is unaware of the hazards facing thedriver.
“No researchers believe it's safe to drive a car andcarry on a phone conversation”
It probably comes as no surprise that, generallyspeaking, we get worse at multitasking as we age. According to Art Kramer atthe University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who studies how ageing affectsour cognitive abilities, we peak in our 20s. Though the decline is slow throughour 30s and on into our 50s, it is there; and after 55, it becomes moreprecipitous. In one study, he and his colleagues had both young and oldparticipants do a simulated driving task while carrying on a conversation. Hefound that while young drivers tended to miss background changes, older driversfailed to notice things that were highly relevant. Likewise, older subjects hadmore trouble paying attention to the more important parts of a scene than youngdrivers.
It's not all bad news for over-55s, though. Kramer alsofound that older people can benefit from practice. Not only did they learn toperform better, brain scans showed that underlying that improvement was achange in the way their brains become active.
Whileit's clear that practice can often make a difference, especially as we age, thebasic facts remain sobering. "We have this impression of an almightycomplex brain," says Marois, "and yet we have very humbling andcrippling limits." For most of our history, we probably never needed to domore than one thing at a time, he says, and so we haven't evolved to be ableto. Perhaps we will in future, though. We might yet look back one day on peoplelike Debbie and Alun as ancestors of a new breed of true multitaskers.
9月4日的雅思考试是换题季后第一场考试,很多学生都感觉其中的听力部分是难度比较高的。那么下面把这一次雅思听力的考试真题与答案解析带给大家,来看看这些内容吧。
一、2021年9月4日雅思写作真题与答案
TASK 1 小作文
柱状图 Bar Chart
TASK 2 大作文
In the future all cars, buses and trucks will be driverless. The only people travelling inside these vehicles will be passengers. Do you think the advantages of driverless vehicles outweigh its disadvantages?
这是一道非常常见的利弊讨论题:
优点 Advantages:
1. 给公司饥败带来经济上的好处(bring some economic benefits for companies), 因为他们不用雇佣司机(employ drivers);
2. 对乘客更加友好(be more passenger-friendly ), 因为不会存在驾驶员违规操作(negligence in driving), 驾驶程序都是自动化地(driving procedures are programmed and automated)。
缺点 Disadvantages:
1. 有安全隐患(safety concerns), 因为程序是由人类设定的(be programmed by human beings), 在特定的情形会出现误判(may make wrong judgements in particular circumstances)。
2. 在早期阶段容易引起公众的反对(be opposed by the public in the early stages)。
3. 失业问题(unemployment), 大量的以此为生的驾驶员会因此失业(many taxi and public transport drivers will lose thier jobs)。
二、优势写作怎么提分
1. 正确使用句子和单词
这是更基本的一点,包括单字的正确拼写、词语在特定句子中的正确使用、正确的句子模式。注意:请勿在文章中使用中式英语,这就要求构思时不要用中文思维,写作时要仔细斟酌文章的语句。
2. 文章语句的多样化
这点必须在句子与词语的正确上来实现。句子的多样化是反映英语水平的关键,也是在文章中获得良好结果的关键。如非谓词从句、定语从句、宾语从句等,以及简单句子、复链悉杂句子的综合使用。
3. 阐明观点
在文章中从正反两面来阐述某个问题(有烂唤颤时这是必须的),但是千万别忘了附上你自己的观点。
要笼统的写上“every coin has two sides”,或者“it depend son the person”需要做的是澄清自己的意见是什么。可以选择直接在开头陈述观点,但作为结尾的必要部分,请记住在结尾处需要再次重复。
4. 实现句子连贯性
句子连贯性的主要要求是:在雅思写作的正文中,段与段、点与点都是需要一些逻辑连接词的,这样才能确定文章的连续性。
句式的连贯性也是考生们比较容易达到的一个标准,只要在日常雅思写作时,总结一些比较高质量的连接词,并且练习至能够灵活使用即可。
对于文章的结构可以使用开头段+主要段落(正反观点和反方观点两个段落)+结尾段落,这也是很多模板当中会套用的一个高分模板。
三、雅思写作怎么准备
1.积累雅思写作词汇语料库
在雅思写作备考阶段,要有意识地积累高频主题雅思写作词汇。雅思考试理论上要准备8000词汇,但是写作的核心词汇只有几百个,却可以应付200多个雅思作文题目,所以我们要扎实地积累自己对于每一个高频主题的语料库。雅思写作经常考的一些社会、环境、教育和犯罪类的题材。我们就应当有针对性的准备相关词汇,建立个人写作词汇语料库。
2.打造个性化范文模板
雅思写作重要的不是你的思想而是你的表达方式。比如“出国留学的优势和困难?”这样的话题大部分考生的答案都是相似的,无非是有学习语言的环境、了解西方文化、开阔视野、丰富人生经历,增加国际化经验等等,困难无非就是孤独、文化休克、学费压力、前途的未知等等,既然观点很难标新立异,就要让自己文章的表达法妙笔生花,句式灵活多样。
解决的途径就是多读一些优秀的范文,多积累一些闪光词汇和漂亮的句式。网络上的以及出版物中的范文已经大量流传,只可参考观点不可背诵。但是范文中精彩的模板、多变的句式、词汇的亮点都是值得借鉴的。考生尤其需要打造自己的个性化范文。

8月14日的雅思考试已经结束,有许多的留学生对于这次的考试真题比较有兴趣,想要通过这些雅思真题来了解自己备考的方向。那么就到来看看羡察清2021年8月14日雅思考试写作的真题解析吧。
一、2021年8月14日雅没档思大作文解析
1、大作文题目
Increasing number of developing countries are expanding tourist industries. Why is this? Is it a positive or negative trend?
2、写作思路
本题是道经典的说明+议论文类综合考题,分析并讨论的是越来越多发展中国家正在发展旅游业的原因及产生的影响。题目写作方向灵活,但需要注意两问的写作内容和逻辑之间的关系。
兄前二、雅思大作文范文参考
Touri* is widely considered as an effective contributor to socio-economic development, particularly in less developed countries. This essay will *yze some major reasons why increasingly more developing countries are promoting tourist industries and discuss possible influence of this trend.
Touri* represents most of the national GDP in many developing countries, and a large proportion of them are island nations or countries, such as Maldives and Aruba, which lack a highly developed economy or business sector other than tourist industry, leading to very limited sources of tax revenue. Therefore, touri* is an important industry to bring much needed money into these countries’ economies.
As the advantages of developing touri* tend to be primarily monetary, many desirable results can be noted easily. Expanding tourist industries allows the majority of a country’s population to be employed, since employment chances can be provided in sectors such as hospitality. By boosting the employment rate, economic activities at different levels are generated, and the impact ripples through the whole economy. On the other hand, the economic benefits from touri* can be reinvested into the promotion of infrastructure and access to education etc., which is the key to the long-term development of a country. Furthermore, touri* offers hosts and visitors opportunities to communicate in a respectful way; therefore, a broader view of the world from both sides can be achieved and the understanding between different nations and ethnic groups can be promoted.
However, despite the universal adoption of touri* as a developmental option, overdependence on it as a singular source of revenue remains the subject of intense debate. Since touri* relies on external factors such as foreign visitors to a large extent, it can reduce the native country’s autonomy. When cross-border travel is infeasible due to causes, for example, global outbreak of corona virus, most people from nations whose pillar industry is touri* are left labor force, and the economic growth is near stagnation. Therefore, developing countries should be discreet to lean towards touri*.
To conclude, touri* can be an important source of income to improve conditions in developing countries and invest in the future, but these countries should also be aware of its potential downsides.
三、雅思作文写作技巧
1、注意时间分配
这一点不涉及任何学习技巧,但非常重要,所以要先提出来。雅思考试中,写作时间共计60分钟,需要完成大小两篇作文。TASK1要求字数不少于150字,而TASK2则不少于250字。TASK2比TASK1所占的分数比例要大,如果考生没有完成这部分内容成绩将大打折扣。所以分配时间上要有区分。一般建议用40分钟完成大作文。
2、开头减少模板使用
这里说的并不是让大家不用模板,而是尽量杜绝冗长、不符合自己写作水平的句式。如果一篇文章开头用了非常华丽并且复杂的长句,后面通篇简单句还有语法错误,这种会让考官产生什么印象,恐怕不用多说。日常碰到不错的单句或套句说法可以做笔记随时保存,灵活运用这些句子会有比较好的效果。
此外,尽量具体化、简洁化。很多模板开头因为是“万用”,所以修饰词等会比较多,与话题关系小,这种开头既不够简洁,同时又不能简明地阐述自己的观点,考官不会认为“你写的内容是针对这个题目写的”所以不建议用这种模板。而且雅思作文考的是论辩问题的能力,而不是文学修养,因此适当修饰才会更受考官青睐。
3、分析意图并树立清晰论点
有一部分学生在规定时间完成了作文,并且也达到了字数,但仍然不能取得理想分数,有一部分原因是其对题目意图理解不够明晰,言不对题了。这里想说一种写作结构——双边讨论结构。这是一种比较瘦老师和学生推崇的写作结构,以两面讨论为主,清晰的结构,多角度的思路更利于学生在较短的时间里构建出符合字数要求和题目立意的文章。但很多人对“双边”的理解过于笼统,抓住题目某个字眼,简单构建赞成和反对的主体结构,抑或认为“双边”就是“利弊”,偏题甚至离题。
