全方位应对雅思变化成为超级考生
<p> 不久前，雅思考试机构公布了2004年一组国际调研数据。让人吃惊的是，我国考生在雅思考试所列国家中，其平均分数排名倒数第二。为了让我国考生能够在今年的雅思考试中胜人一筹，我们通过解析今年雅思考试要求变化的情况，审时度势，重点突破，以争取出现一批2006年的超级考生。 作文题目要求明确化 从2006年1月份开始，雅思作文部分的要求措辞有了一定的变化。此变化的目的是使以前一些模棱两可的词语得到明确的注释，从而基本杜绝考生因看错题目要求而造成作文低分的可能性。在雅思考试官方网站（）上可以发现，新调整的作文题目要求如下：1．学术类<span word="Task">Task</span> 1（小作文）原来的题目要求是：<span word="Write">Write</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="report">report</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="university">university</span> <span word="lecturer">lecturer</span> <span word="describing">describing</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="information">information</span> <span word="shown">shown</span> ？是否多余？<span word="below">below</span>.（这是雅思作文题目要求，不必改（给大学讲师写一份报告，描述以下信息。）现更改为<span word="Summarise">Summarise</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="information">information</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="selecting">selecting</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="reporting">reporting</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="main">main</span> <span word="features">features</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="make">make</span> <span word="comparisons">comparisons</span> <span word="where">where</span> <span word="relevant">relevant</span>.（通过选取描述图中主要特征来概括图表信息，并适当作出对比。）2．移民类<span word="Task">Task</span> 1原来的题目要求是：<span word="You">You</span> <span word="do">do</span> <span word="NOT">NOT</span> <span word="need">need</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="write">write</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="own">own</span> <span word="adress">adress</span>.（你不需要附上你个人地址）现更改为<span word="You">You</span> <span word="do">do</span> <span word="NOT">NOT</span> <span word="need">need</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="write">write</span> <span word="any">any</span> <span word="address">address</span>.（你不需要附上任何人地址。）3．学术类<span word="Task">Task</span> 2（大作文）原来的题目要求是：<span word="Present">Present</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="written">written</span> <span word="argument">argument</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="case">case</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="educated">educated</span> <span word="reader">reader</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="no">no</span> <span word="specialist">specialist</span> <span word="knowledge">knowledge</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="following">following</span> <span word="topic">topic</span>. <span word="You">You</span> <span word="should">should</span> <span word="use">use</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="own">own</span> <span word="ideas">ideas</span>, <span word="knowledge">knowledge</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="experience">experience</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="support">support</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="arguments">arguments</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="examples">examples</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="relevant">relevant</span> <span word="evidence">evidence</span>.（向一位受过良好教育的读者进行书面论证和举例，该读者对以下主题没有专业知识。你可以运用自己的观点、见解和认知，并通过例子和相关论据来支持你的论点。）现更改为<span word="Give">Give</span> <span word="reasons">reasons</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="answer">answer</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="include">include</span> <span word="any">any</span> <span word="relevant">relevant</span> <span word="examples">examples</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="knowledge">knowledge</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="experience">experience</span>.（论证你的观点，并通过个人见解提供任何相关论证。）4．移民类<span word="Task">Task</span> 2原来的题目要求是：<span word="Give">Give</span> <span word="reasons">reasons</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="answer">answer</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="include">include</span> <span word="any">any</span> <span word="relevant">relevant</span> <span word="examples">examples</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="experience">experience</span>.（论证你的观点，并通过个人见解提供任何相关论证。）现更改为<span word="Give">Give</span> <span word="reasons">reasons</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="answer">answer</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="include">include</span> <span word="any">any</span> <span word="relevant">relevant</span> <span word="examples">examples</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="knowledge">knowledge</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="experience">experience</span>.（论证你的观点，并通过个人见解提供任何相关论证。） 以上调整所要说明的问题是： 1．是留学类<span word="Task">Task</span>1还是学术类<span word="Task">Task</span> 1？（与上文对应的话）原文中<span word="report">report</span>一词会使考生误以为写一个报告，其实它是指图表作文。新的要求中去掉了<span word="report">report</span>这个词。原文中<span word="describe">describe</span>（ 中文注释？描述）的意思也比较抽象，考生往往难以把握。事实证明，中国考生描述图表的能力尚可，但在比较、归纳和图表分类的能力上远远落后于西方考生。新的雅思考试明确了这个要求。此外，新要求中增加了<span word="select">select</span>（选择）和<span word="where">where</span> <span word="relevant">relevant</span>（必要处）的字眼，这说明对于一些数据较多的图表如<span word="Table">Table</span>（表格题）来说，考生不必面面俱到，只需挑选有代表性的数据写出来就可以了。2．是移民类<span word="Task">Task</span> 1还是移民类<span word="ask">ask</span> 1？（与上文对应的话）的新要求是：明确考生不必写任何地址，包括考生本人的真实地址。3．无论是留学类还是学术类？还是移民类，这次雅思考试对<span word="Task">Task</span> 2提出的新要求完全一样，显示了雅思考试机构统一两者考试要求的理念。首先这里的<span word="experience">experience</span>一词不是单纯地解释经历，考生如再大谈特谈自己的经历，会被认为没有看懂题目要求。新要求中最后出现了<span word="knowledge">knowledge</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="experience">experience</span>（中文解释是？知识和经验），其实这个词与<span word="experience">experience</span>一词在这里没有本质区别，相当于根据考生自己的见解和认知来写这篇文章的意思。还有<span word="examples">examples</span>（中文解释是例证）一词不再被赋予狭义的定义，而可以理解成以下四种情况：（1）名人名事（2）谚语警句（3）社会性事实（如<span word="SARS">SARS</span>）（4）论据的细节化说明。 听力评分标准、口语考试内容变化 <span word="Listening">Listening</span>（听力） 本年度雅思考试的诸项变化都不如听力评分标准的变化来得那么大。让我们来看看2005年7月后最新调整过的听力评分标准： 可以发现，听力评分新标准比以往评分要求低一些，比如在考生爱与痛的边缘 7分档，原来的标准是：40题中要答对33题，现在只要答对30题就可以了。如果答对33题可以拿到7.5分。更匪夷所思的是，雅思听力的难度不仅没有提高，而且许多考题甚至与以往完全一样，全年总共只出现了9套新题，因此在听力考分上可能会出现2003年的高分现象。 谈到口语，也呈现出老题唱主角，新题生活化的特点。学校的孙涛老师认为，2005年雅思口语在内容和形式上基本上保持了稳定性，大部分话题依然是日常生活中经常出现的，虽然偶有新题出现，但从出现的频率上来讲，新考话题只占到总话题的十分之一左右。 1. <span word="Exciting">Exciting</span> <span word="experience">experience</span>（一次刺激的旅行） 2. <span word="A">A</span> <span word="past">past</span> <span word="family">family</span> <span word="member">member</span> <span word="who">who</span>
