雅思a类阅读资料及用法 雅思a类阅读资料及用法的讲解一文分为2部分，第一部分是2篇雅思a类阅读可以用的阅读材料，第二部分是怎样选取和收集雅思阅读资料以及运用它们的方法。下面就和大家分享雅思a类阅读资料及用法的讲解，来欣赏一下吧。雅思a类阅读资料及用法的讲解雅思a类阅读资料六个坏习惯将毁掉你的睡眠If you equate getting older with needingor gettingless sleep, heres a wake-up call: Its not true! “The majority of us require between seven and nine hours of shut-eye a night," says Robert Oexman, D.C., director of the Sleep to Live Institute. “And theres little reasonwhether youre 55 or 80not to get it.” Barring disease, medication and pain (all legitimate sleep interrupters), if patients complain of bad sleep, Dr. Oexman looks at their nighttime habits, where the problem almost always resides.如果你认为人慢慢长大变老，需要或得到的睡眠更少，那我来提醒你吧，不是这样的!睡眠与生命研究所所长，脊骨神经科医师罗伯特欧克斯曼说道：“大多数人每晚需要7-9小时的睡眠时间。无论你是55还是80岁，都应该做到这一点。”疾病、药物和疼痛除外(这些都可能会干扰睡眠)，如果病人抱怨睡不好觉，欧克斯曼医师会查看其晚间生活习惯来发现问题所在。So, how are you sabotaging your z-z-z-z-zs?所以，你是怎样破坏自己的睡眠的呢?Bad Habit #1: Watching TV until you fall asleep?坏习惯一：看电视看到睡着Why It Disrupts Sleep: It has nothing to do with what you watchDownton Abbey isnt a better pre-sleep choice than Dog the Bounty Hunter. Rather its the exposure to TVs bright light thats the culprit. Artificial bright light after dusk not only enhances alertness, but also delays the production of melatonin, a sleep-inducing hormone. So even if you nod off (in front of the TV, for example), you probably wont stay asleep for long.为什么会影响睡眠：这和你看什么节目没有任何关系，因为唐顿庄园并不是比赏金猎人更好的睡前节目。反而是暴露在电视强光下才是影响你睡眠的罪魁祸首。天黑后的人造强光不仅让人增加警惕性，而且会延迟体内睡眠荷尔蒙褪黑素的生成。所以即使你打盹了(比如在电视机前)，你很可能也睡不了多久。EZZZ Fix: An hour before bedtime, treat yourself like a baby: a warm bath, followed by a quiet activity in dim lightmeditation, journal writing, reading. But no reading or writing on your computer before bed or in the middle of the night. (Almost half of the respondents in the AOL Email Addiction survey admitted to checking email during the night. If thats you, keep technology out of the bedroom.)解决方法：睡前一小时，让自己像婴儿一样：洗个热水澡，在暗淡的灯光下做些安静的事情-冥想，写日记，阅读。但是睡前或者半夜绝对不能在电脑上阅读或者写东西。(几乎一半参与美国在线电子邮件上瘾调查的人们承认晚间会查看电子邮件。如果你也是这样，那么记得把高科技关在卧室外面吧。)Bad Habit #2: Sleeping with Fido坏习惯二：抱狗狗睡觉Why It Disrupts Sleep: While animal-lovers argue the emotional benefits of sharing a pillow with their pets, research shows that pets can contribute to less than sound sleep. How? “Pets have different circadian rhythms than humans," says Oexman. “They sleep most of the day, and they shift a lot when sleepingthey get comfortable, then they move. This goes on all night, and whether you admit it or not, it interrupts your ability to get the level of sleep needed to feel rested." (As for pet dander and allergiessneezing and wheezing are not great sleep enhancers.)为什么会影响睡眠：动物爱好者认为和宠物一起睡觉有情感上的益处，然而研究表明宠物实际上会影响睡眠。这是怎么回事呢?“宠物和人有着不同的生理节律，”欧克斯曼说，“他们每天大多数时候都会睡，睡觉的时候经常动-他们觉得舒服，然后就会动。整晚都会这样，而且无论你承认与否，你都会不知不觉被影响而达不到自己需要的睡眠程度。(至于宠物皮屑和各种过敏导致的打喷嚏和喘息都是会影响睡眠的因素。)EZZZ Fix: For two weeks, put your pooch or cat in a crate outside your closed bedroom door. When your pet can sleep quietly in the crate, move the crate inside your room for another two weeks. When the crate training is complete, try letting the dog or cat sleep in his own bed near your bed. Discourage all attempts to jump on your bed and reward all successes for staying in his own bed. (Caveat: Plan on interrupted sleep for a few weeks.)雅思a类阅读资料最适合春天吃的美食New research suggests some foods have the power to guard skin from the damage caused by the suns UV radiation. While a salad is no substitute for sunblock, these healthy foods could add inner protection against sunburn and wrinkles at the cellular level.新的研究发现表明某些食物可以帮助肌肤免受阳光紫外线的侵害。但是，一盘沙拉并不能代替防晒霜，这些健康食物可以加强身体内在机能，保护皮肤不受侵害并延缓细胞衰老。Citrus Fruits 柑橘类水果Citrus fruits have the potent ingredient limonene, associated with a whopping 34 percent lower risk of skin cancer in one University of Arizona study of 470 women and men.柑橘类水果含有丰富的柠檬烯。亚利桑那大学对470位女性和男性进行的研究表明，柠檬烯可以将患皮肤癌的风险降低34%Green tea 绿茶This delicately flavored tea is full of antioxidants called EGCGs. Among their health-promoting capabilities: EGCGs stopped genetic damage in human skin cells exposed to UV light in one University of Wisconsin study.绿茶所含有的抗氧化剂叫做茶多酚。威斯康星大学的研究表明茶多酚可以使暴露在紫外线下的肌肤免受基因损害。Carrots 胡萝卜Carrotsor any other red, yellow, and orange fruits and vegetablesare packed with carotenoids, and studies show they reduce sunburn intensity.胡萝卜或者任何红色，黄色及橙色水果和蔬菜都富含类胡萝卜素，研究表明这些果蔬可以降低日晒强度。Red Peppers 红椒Like carrots, red peppers are also especially helpful in reducing sunburn intensity.和红萝卜一样，红椒在降低日晒强度方面有显著效果。Spinach 菠菜Leafy greens, like dark green lettuce, spinach, kale, and Swiss chard, are top sources of the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which halted cell growth prompted by UV light in animal studies.绿叶蔬菜，如绿色莴苣，菠菜，甘蓝菜和唐莴苣均含有非常丰富的抗氧化剂叶黄素和玉米黄素，这些抗氧化剂可以阻止紫外线引起的细胞生长。Salmon 三文鱼This fish is a great source of oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids. In a small British study, fish oils guarded against sunburn and DNA changes that can lead to cancer.三文鱼的鱼油富含丰富的脂肪酸。研究表明鱼油可以预防易引发癌症的晒黑晒伤和DNA改变。Walnuts 核桃Like salmon, walnuts are high in essential fatty acids that could guard against sunburn.和三文鱼一样，核桃也富含有丰富的人体必需脂肪酸，而这类脂肪酸可以抵御晒伤晒黑。利用雅思阅读材料的3大技巧一、真题为主，其他材料为辅很多考生，尤其是刚接触雅思的考生，还没开始备考，先囫囵吞枣买了各种各样的书，其实后期也未必真用得上。所以如果是以备考为目的话，最好的方式还是从最直接的考试材料入手最为妥当。市面上的出的辅导类用书很多，但最贴近考试的还是剑桥雅思真题。剑桥雅思真题系列，是剑桥大学考试委员会出版的，这可是考试出题方，实打实的真题。通过做真题，可以了解出题方式、考试题型等等内容，对备考非常有帮助。同时真题不光可以用来自测，还是用来精读的材料。可以说，真题是必备备考资料。说到其他辅导材料(这里不包含备考雅思考试的技巧类用书)，平常时候该读什么保持阅读量，这也让很多考生挠头。雅思阅读考试的*以大众题材为主，涉及到教育、经济、科技、生物、医学、环境、地质、能源等各方面问题，但不涉及专业性过强的*，以免造成不同学生知识储备不同所产生的优劣势。甚至有些内容来自于日常生活，所以考生不必刻意记住很多艰深的生僻专业术语。因此就材料选择来说，国际上比较知名的杂志都是可以利用的阅读材料。提示：阅读练习中也尽量有时间观念，保持适度紧张感，养成良好的习惯。同时，不要刻意追求读的“多”，总结自己阅读中的问题才更有用。二、词汇的累积看了第一部分，有的人会说，我才高中，很多雅思词汇都比较难，做真题都看不懂。是的，这第二点就要说这个问题了。词句篇，词汇是基础，同雅思写作一样，阅读也同理。没有一定的词汇量对于阅读来说比较困难，所以扎扎实实累积词汇、背单词，这还是很重要的。三、把握出题者意图这一点是个说难不难说易不易的方法，需要多做几篇来找找感觉。但如果能对上下文之间的关联有很好的理解，又能把握*的大体脉络，无疑对解题有莫大帮助。以上就是雅思a类阅读资料及用法的讲解的全部内容，雅思阅读材料的用处还是在于从长期来看，提高整体的英语阅读能力。如果考生的备考期较短，在相应的阅读材料的选取上，可以更偏向于应试找一些带题的阅读去做。雅思阅读材料：蝙蝠侠墨西哥首映遇火灾LOS ANGELES - Is this movie cursed? 洛杉矶报道这部电影是受到了诅咒吗?Exactly one week after the mass shooting at a theater in Aurora, Colorado, a small fire at a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" in a city near Guadalajara, Mexico forced more than 800 moviegoers to evacuate the theater complex early Friday。美国丹佛奥罗拉蝙蝠侠首映枪击事件一个星期以后，上周五在墨西哥瓜达拉哈拉的蝙蝠侠3：黑暗骑士崛起首映，电影院突然失火，800名观众被紧急疏散。No one was injured after a trash receptacle caught fire in the lobby of a Cinepolis theater in Zapopan。火灾由墨西哥影院休息处室的垃圾堆引起，无人伤亡。A newspaper in Mexico City said fire inspectors were investigating the cause and did not immediately exclude arson. The fire was quickly contained and everyone was evacuated in an orderly manner。墨西哥城当地报纸报称火警调查员正在调查火灾起因，不排除有人故意纵火的可能。火情迅速得到控制，每位观众都井然有序的被疏散出去。Warner Bros. canceled both the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Mexico City and press events earlier this week, which actors Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway and Joseph Gordon Levitt were slated to attend。这周华纳兄弟已经取消蝙蝠侠3的了墨西哥映礼和原本定好有克里斯蒂安贝尔、安妮海瑟薇以及约瑟夫高登莱维特出席的新闻发布会。Meanwhile, the composer who wrote the music for the film has penned a song dedicated to the Aurora shooting victims。同时，电影插曲的作曲者也亲自为丹佛枪击案的受害者谱写了一首歌。Hans Zimmer posted the track "Aurora" on his Facebook page Friday, saying he recorded the song in London after the shooting. 汉斯季默上周五在他的Facebook首页公开了这首歌曲，说在枪击案之后，他随即在伦敦录制了该首歌曲。雅思阅读材料：金融危机给我们的五大教训With the two-year anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothersapproaching, economists are listing lessons learned. Among them isRichard Berner of Morgan Stanley。随着雷曼兄弟(Lehman Brothers)崩溃两周年的日子临近，经济学家们纷纷列出了从中吸取的教训。摩根士丹利(Morgan Stanley)经济学家贝尔纳(Richard Berner)就是其中的一位。Here are his five lessons, drawn from a presentation at recentconference sponsored last month by the Central Bank of Argentina andelaborated on in a note to clients last week:以下就是贝尔纳列出的五大教训;他在为上个月阿根廷央行主办的一次会议准备的发言稿中列出了他的看法，并在上周的一份客户报告中进行了详细阐述：1. A strong and well-regulated financial system should be the firstline of defense against financial shocks .he more free-marketoriented we want our economies to be, the more we need officialsupervision and oversight of our financial institutions and markets.Thats because truly free-market economies involve a high risk ofbusiness failure, and corresponding high risks to the financialinstitutions and investors that lend to and invest in those businesses.A key lesson from this crisis is that competition among lenders breedsinnovation, but also instability。强大与监管得力的金融体系应该是抵御金融冲击的道防线。我们越希望我们的经济以自由市场为导向，就越需要对金融机构和市场实施官方的监督和管理。这是因为真正的自由市场经济包含了很高的企业破产风险，相应的，向这些企业投资和放贷的金融机构和投资者也面临着高风险。此次危机的一个重要教训就是贷款商之间的竞争既培育了创新，但也带来了不稳定性。2. Aggressive and persistent policy responses are the second line ofdefense . From past crises like Japans lost decade, we learned thatthe persistence of policy support is also critical to facilitatebalance-sheet cleanup, offset the drag on the economy, and preventdeflation . For market participants, understanding just how persistentpolicy support will be is important; they want central bankers to makea clear distinction between the end of easing, which is now underway,and exit strategies or the beginning of tightening, which lie ahead。积极和持续的政策反应是第二道防线。从日本"消失的十年"等过去的危机中，我们可以发现，持续的政策支持同样非常关键，这能够推动清理资产负债表，消除拖累经济增长的因素，还能阻止通货紧缩。对市场参与人士来说，获知政府政策扶持的持续时间很重要;他们希望央行官员作出明确表述，区分宽松政策结束(目前正在进行)以及刺激政策退出，或是紧缩政策开始(未来将发生的)。3. Macroprudential supervision and asset prices should both playbigger roles in monetary policy . There is broad agreement that aglobal focus on systemic risk is needed. There is less agreement onexactly how to define and implement it。宏观金融监管和资产价格都应当在货币政策中发挥更大的作用。各国普遍认同，系统性风险需要引起全球的关注。但这一问题如何具体限定以及如何实施，各国却基本没有达成共识。4. Flexible exchange rates enhance the ability of monetary policy to respond to shocks。灵活的汇率能增强货币政策应对危机的能力。5. Global imbalances contributed to the crisis by allowing internalimbalances to grow. . Recession is helping to rebalance the US andglobal economies and markets. The question now: Will this rebalancingprocess be benign and sustainable for economies and markets, or will itbe disruptive? I worry about the latter because current US policies areexpanding rather than reducing imbalances, and officials elsewhere arelimiting exchange-rate adjustment。全球失衡会导致各国内部失衡扩大，从而加剧危机。衰退正促使美国和全球其他经济体和市场重新回到平衡。目前的问题是：对经济体和市场来说，这种重新平衡过程是否是温和以及可持续的，还是会带来破坏?我担心会出现后面一种情况，因为美国当前的政策是在扩大而不是缩小失衡问题，而其他国家的官员正在限制汇率的调节作用。雅思
