雅思閱讀提高是每一位閱讀部分瀕臨崩潰的學生的理想目標。下面為介紹一些雅思閱讀的技巧，希望對你們考試有幫助!
1.利用詞根詞綴
相信很多同學是瞭解這個方法的，因為“詞根詞綴記憶單詞”這個東東已經被人們鼓吹了很多年了，從老師還是個稚嫩少年的時候就已經聽說過這個方法了(那個時候菊花還只是一種花)。實際上，詞根詞綴法是一個很好地在閱讀中猜詞的方法。同學們在備考閱讀的時候需要掌握一些常見的詞綴用以猜詞意或判斷方向性。我們來看下面的例子(第24題)：
題目：
23 Home medical aids
24 Regular amounts of exercise
25 Feelings of control over life
26 Feelings of loneliness
A may cause heart disease.
B can be helped by hormone treatment.
C may cause rises in levels of stress hormones.
D have cost theUnited Statesgovernment more than $200 billion.
E may help prevent mental decline.
F may get stronger at night.
G allow old people to be more independent.
H can reduce stress in difficult situations.
原文：
Maintaining a level of daily physical activity may help mental functioning, says Carl Cotman, a neuroscientist at the University of California at Irvine. He found that rats that exercise on a treadmill have raised levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor coursing through their brains. Cotman believes this hormone, which keeps neurons functioning, may prevent the brains of active humans from deteriorating.
分析：
利用題幹中的資訊(regular amounts of exercise)定位到原文(daily physical activity)，進而對該段文字進行閱讀，發現最後的deteriorate不認識，但是以de-字首開頭，一般都是否定的方向，那麼與第五個選項中的decline方向一致，可以確定E為正確答案。
2. 利用並列關係
閱讀中常見的並列關係詞有and, or等，並列關係前後連線的詞往往具有一定的一致性。我們這裡拿or來舉個例子，or前後的詞常常含義是近似的。因此，如果or連線的前後的'詞我們有一個不認識，那麼可以利用另一個來猜單詞。我們來看下面的例子：
例句：
However, the major problems of the travel and tourism industry that have hidden, or obscured, its economic impact are the diversity and fragmentation of the industry itself.
分析：
本句話中，很多同學是不認識obscure的，但是我們一般都認識前面的hidden，並且發現這兩個單詞由or連線，所以可以推斷obscure的意思跟hidden是比較接近的。
楊帆老師有話說：
閱讀考察的是單詞的模糊理解而非具體含義，所以很多單詞我們瞭解大概意思、保證閱讀可以順利進行下去即可，不用弄明白確切意思。
3.利用同位語
閱讀中我們常會看到一個不認識的名詞後跟隨了一個逗號，逗號後是一個名詞短語，這個名次短語就是這個名詞的同位語解釋。我們可以利用同位語去推測未知名詞的含義。我們來看下面的例子
【題目】
Marie and Pierre Curie’s research into the radioactivity of the mineral known as 8……… led to the discovery of two new elements.
【原文】
Turning her attention to minerals, she found her interest drawn to pitchblende, a mineral whose radioactivity, superior to that of pure uranium, could be explained only by the presence in the ore of small quantities of an unknown substance of very high activity. Pierre Curie joined her in the work that she had undertaken to resolve this problem, and that led to the discovery of the new elements, polonium and radium.
【分析】
通過觀察題目，我們發現我們要填的單詞處在“a mineral known as ...”這個結構下，說明要填的單詞是一種礦物質的名字。那麼利用題目中的two new elements定位到原文中，再利用代詞往前查詢，會找到pitchblende這個詞，後面就跟隨了我們說的同位語，那麼可以確定這就是要我們找的答案。
雅思閱讀的技巧小貼士：
小貼士1
If you want to improve your reading, the first thing to do is read a lot. There are no shortcuts or secret techniques; you will only improve with time and practice.
如果你想提高，第一件事就是大量閱讀。沒有捷徑和祕笈，你只有花時間練習才行。
小貼士2
Anything you read in English is good practice, so read about subjects that interest you. Try to enjoy reading in English.任何英文材料都可以拿來練習，所以讀一些你感興趣的東西。嘗試愛上閱讀英語。
小貼士3
English is the most used language on the Internet. Whenever you search for information on the net, try searching in English first.
英語是網上使用最多的語言，當你在網上搜索資訊的時候，記得用英語去搜索。
小貼士4
Remember that "understanding is not the same as using". Keep a notebook with useful words and phrases that you find when you're reading, and try using them in your own sentences.
記住，理解和使用不是一回事。閱讀的時候在本子上記下有用詞彙和短語，再嘗試用它們造句。
小貼士5
Apart from reading things that interest you, you also need to read lots of IELTS passages. If you've done all of the tests in the Cambridge books, read the passages again without doing the questions. Use a dictionary, take notes, and try to fully understand each passage.
除了讀些你感興趣的東西以外，你也要讀很多雅思閱讀文章。如果你已經做完了劍橋雅思全部的題目，就再單純地讀一遍文章。可以使用字典，做筆記，確保充分理解文章內容。
小貼士6
Another way to use the Cambridge tests is to look at the correct answers to each question first. Your task is to find out why those answers are correct by analysing the passage carefully and finding the 'keywords'.
劍橋雅思真題的另一個用法就是，看每一道題的答案。你的任務是，通過仔細分析文章和關鍵詞，找出為什麼這些答案是對的。
