Rainwater harvesting

For two years southern Sri Lanka suffered a prolonged drought, described by locals as "the worst in 50 years". Some areas didn't see a successful crop for four or five consecutive seasons. Livestock died，water in wells dropped to dangerously low levels, children were increasingly malnourished and school attendance has fallen. Anestimated 1.6 million people were affected.

A Muthukandiya is a village in Moneragaladistrict, one of the drought-stricken areas in the "dry zone" of southern Sri Lanka (斯里蘭卡), where half the country's population of18 million lives. Rainfall in the area varies greatly from year to year, often bringing extreme dry spells in between monsoons (季風).But this drought was much worse than usual. Despite some rain inNovember, only half of Moneragala's 1,400 tube wells were in workingorder by March. The drought devastated supplies of rice and freshwaterfish, the staple diet of inland villages. Many local industries closed downand villagers headed for the towns in search of work.

B The villagers of Muthukandiya arrived in the 1970s as part of agovernment resettlement scheme. Each family was given six acres of land,with no irrigation system. Because crop production, which relies entirelyon rainfall, is insufficient to support most families, the village economyrelies on men and women working as day-labourers in nearby sugar-caneplantations. Three wells have been dug to provide domestic water, butthese run dry for much of the year. Women and children may spendseveral hours each day walking up to three miles (five kilometres) to fetchwater for drinking, washing and cooking.

雅思閱讀--自答自問的游戲

雅思與其它標準考試(如GRE)不同，它僅考查語言。這對于考試者意味著什么呢?這表明，雅思考試并不考查你的推理能力。

這一規(guī)律怎樣應用呢?雖然有時你會被問到出題者不會給你提供信息然后讓你基于這些信息得出結論。相反，他們給你提供信息并問你這些信息?；旧?，他們都是讓你重復剛剛給你的信息。答案就在你眼前......一篇文章的主題或為這篇文章選一個合適的標題，但絕大多數(shù)的問題都會關注文章中給出的細節(jié)信息。你要做的僅是把他提供的信息再重復給他。你不會被要求基于這些信息得出結論。以下面的摘錄為例：

“Research in Britain has shown that “green consumers” continue to flourish as a significant group amongst shoppers. This suggests that politicians who claim environmentalism is yesterday’s issue may be seriously misjudging the public mood.” Based upon this passage, you will never be asked a question like:“There has been a continued presence of “green consumers” in the British market because of …”

A. the rise of the Green party.

B. Concern with global warming

C. Fear of Mad Cow Disease

D. Concern with general state of environment

這些答案都沒有的文章中出現(xiàn)。所以，雅思考試絕不會問這類問題。相反，他們會問這樣的問題：

“Politicians may have “misjudged the public mood” because…”

A. they are pre-occupied with the recession and financial problems.

B. There is more widespread interest in the environmental agenda than they anticipated.

C. Consumer spending has increased significantly as a result of “green” pressure.

D. Shoppers are displeased with government policies on a range of issues.

正如文中所說，政治家們認為消費者不再關心環(huán)境問題是他們錯誤判斷了民意。答案顯易見。這就是雅思考試的出題方法。正確答案是“B”。

對于此規(guī)律也會出現(xiàn)一些例外，我們也發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些。但至少現(xiàn)在我們弄清了自己的任務。我們的任務并非掌握或記憶面前的信息，而是了解出題者讓我們尋找的信息是什么。因為我們知道可以找得到所有的答案，下面我們要掌握的就是怎樣尋找了。如果我們的閱讀的同時就知道要找什么，我們甚至可能在知道問題是什么之前就找到答案。

雅思閱讀如何“臨時抱佛腳”

首先是時間掌控

正確的時間分配可以幫助考生在考場上最大限度的發(fā)揮自己的實際水平，提高整體正確率。合理的時間安排，原則上是20分鐘一篇。

但是考生都有自己熟悉的話題和有把握的題材。所以，在正式開始做題之前，考生不妨可以通過標題瀏覽等方式Skim三篇文章，按照自己的實際情況對于三篇文章的難易程度進行定位，確定哪篇文章是自己把握性比較大的，對于這種比較有把握文章一定要保證時間充足，這樣有助于整體正確率的提升。但是每一篇文章原則上最多不超過25分鐘，否則考生是沒有辦法有效率的完成40道題目的。

在時間分配這一點上，要特別提醒那些基礎比較好的考生。因為此類考生往往更加容易“栽跟頭”。雅思閱讀文章篇幅較長，之后還有四十道題目需要完成，這就要求考生精讀和泛讀相結合。需要提別提出的是，文章中的信息有主次之分，那些與考題相關的信息才是考生需要精讀的內容。而基礎較好的同學往往為了保證正確率會采取全篇精讀的方式去完成題目，這樣的話就沒有辦法保證在規(guī)定的時間內完成所有題目。

最后需要在時間安排上提醒考生們注意的是，要留取填寫答題卡的時間。雅思考試第一場聽力考試是有10分鐘的時間留給考生填寫答題卡的。但是在緊接著的第二場閱讀考試中，填寫答題卡的時間包含在一個小時考試時間里面。在此，雅思中國網海外考試研究中心的老師們建議考生，分篇填寫答案。完成一篇之后就把答案填寫在答題卡上，這樣可以避免最后完全來不及填寫答題卡的情況出現(xiàn)。

正確的做題順序

除去時間掌控之外，考生們在考場上還要注意的是考試的題型安排。正確的做題順序可以幫助考生更加有效的完成題目。

雅思學術類閱讀現(xiàn)在官網上分為十大題型：

Multiple Choice;Short-answer questions;Sentence Completion;Notes, Summary or Table/Flow-chart Completion;Labelling a Diagram;Headings;Locating Information;Identification of Writer’s Views/Claims or of Information in a Text;Classification;Matching。

這些題型絕大多數(shù)題目是細節(jié)型的題。一般來說，建議考生按照從大意題到細節(jié)題的做題順序完成整篇試題。也就是說，在考試過程中，如果考生遇到“Headings”這種標準的大意題，當然是需要最先完成的。而其他細節(jié)題在考生對于文章大意有所了解的前提下去完成會很容易定位。在此需要特別說明的是最近很流行的細節(jié)配對題，一般建議考生安排在其他題目完成之后再去完成，這樣考生對于文章的結構和各段的大意都有比較清晰的了解，在這個基礎上再去完成細節(jié)配對題會節(jié)約很多定位的時間，而且正確率也會有所提升。

良好的心理素質

最后要提醒即將考試的“烤鴨”們的就是信心和情緒。良好的心理素質是在考場上正常發(fā)揮水平的重要保證。

長期辛苦的備考之后，考生們有理由相信自己會在考場上取得滿意的成績。適當?shù)淖孕乓彩情喿x速度和解題正確率的保證。另外，有些考生如果碰到的文章是自己不熟悉的領域或不熟悉的題型就會大受“打擊”，影響做題情緒。這個是完全沒有必要的。要明白有時候文章當中那些生詞往往根本不會影響考生做題，屬于我們上文所提及的次要信息。所以千萬不要讓那些次要的內容影響了做題目的情緒，否則就是得不償失了。

專家題的這三條建議也許不多，但卻能夠給即將上陣的“烤鴨”們一個很好的提醒和幫助，只要按照老師的建議走下去，再加上自己的努力，相信考生們會考出一鳴驚人的成績的。
