雅思阅读就像电脑运行大型游戏，今天小编给大家带来了雅思阅读高分经验，希望能帮助到大家，下面小编就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。
作为一个文科生，在看到科技类文章的时候她也特别不乐意，这种文章，你越怕，就越有可能在考试的时候出现，但也没有办法，练习总得做。而且对大多数人来说，也不可能去背那些大量的理科生都不一定知道的英语专业词汇，所以她建议，阅读的时候联系上下文很关键，也许有的时候也不需要联系上下文，只要你能找出来就行，平时没事儿多练练这样的眼力。
由于雅思考试三大块笔试试题都是分开时间的，时间方面是挺紧的。所以其实阅读速度也是很重要的一项阅读能力，从对词汇的掌握熟练度到长难句式的理解，如果这些都能提高，那么阅读速度肯定会上来。
“在考试的时候，首先自己要知道怎么快速进入阅读状态。如果进入状态去读文章，完全是事半功倍。我个人觉得文章难易度是很影响我进入状态的，雅思几乎不会出现觉得太简单的文章，如果我觉得刚刚好的难度我会看的很快，然后就是吸收信息的速度也会很理想。然而这个归根结底还是一个阅读能力的问题。”
阅读部分文章都偏长，考试时间又有限，在谈到阅读能力这个问题，她用了一个非常有趣的比喻：“就好比运行大型游戏，如果你的电脑显卡不行它就会卡，可是如果你显卡很好它就不卡。
同理要是文章太难，我们读得磕磕绊绊，处理信息速度特别慢，基本进入不了状态。所以总而言之我觉得长度不是关键，难度或者说你对这类型文章的适应度才是关键。如果看得顺的话，文章篇幅长也是没有关系的。”
对她来说，阅读是发挥得比较不错的，平时做题常有觉得时间有点紧的情况，这次很顺利都能做完，主要平时练习的时候总结经验，下次怎么更合理安排时间会有帮助。“同一篇文章会有三种题型左右，也是有不同的难易程度，如果你在前面的文章卡住了不要太着急，后面文章比较简单的题型你要保证拿到。
如果实在是怎么都搞不懂了就跳下一道题，实在是看不懂你冥思苦想也没有什么用，往下做搞不好还能碰到相关信息。时间本来就很紧凑，有时候还浪费在这种其实你怎么花时间也看不懂的题上面是太浪费了。到最后也不知道的话就按照你仅有的线索或者常识蒙吧，反正比空着强。
而且要是抱着消极的情绪做题，那结果肯定也很消极，万一看到不喜欢的题型或者内容也一定请调整心态吧。我个人觉得这个对于阅读水平的发挥影响还是挺大的，有时候你水平就在这儿可是遇到不同的题发挥可能差别很大。”
How to increase sales
From The Economist print edition
How shops can exploit people's herd mentality to increase sales
1.A TRIP to the supermarket may not seem like an exercise in psychological warfare—but it is.Shopkeepers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they had intended.Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors.Now researchers are investigating how “swarm intelligence” (that is，how ants，bees or any social animal，including humans，behave in a crowd) can be used to influence what people buy.
2.At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome，Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani，a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology，described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon.Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted: for instance，by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store，forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them.Mr Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes，also of the Florida Institute of Technology，set out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on the herd instinct.The idea is that，if a certain product is seen to be popular，shoppers are likely to choose it too.The challenge is to keep customers informed about what others are buying.
3.Enter smart-cart technology.In Mr Usmani's supermarket every product has a radio frequency identification tag，a sort of barcode that uses radio waves to transmit information，and every trolley has a scanner that reads this information and relays it to a central computer.As a customer walks past a shelf of goods，a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product.If the number is high，he is more likely to select it too.
4.Mr Usmani's “swarm-moves” model appeals to supermarkets because it increases sales without the need to give people discounts.And it gives shoppers the satisfaction of knowing that they bought the “right” product—that is，the one everyone else bought.The model has not yet been tested widely in the real world，mainly because radio frequency identification technology is new and has only been installed experimentally in some supermarkets.But Mr Usmani says that both Wal-Mart in America and Tesco in Britain are interested in his work，and testing will get under way in the spring.
5.Another recent study on the power of social influence indicates that sales could，indeed，be boosted in this way.Matthew Salganik of Columbia University in New York and his colleagues have described creating an artificial music market in which some 14,000 people downloaded previously unknown songs.The researchers found that when people could see the songs ranked by how many times they had been downloaded，they followed the crowd.When the songs were not ordered by rank，but the number of times they had been downloaded was displayed，the effect of social influence was still there but was less pronounced.People thus follow the herd when it is easy for them to do so.
6.In Japan a chain of convenience shops called RanKing RanQueen has been ordering its products according to sales data from department stores and research companies.The shops sell only the most popular items in each product category，and the rankings are updated weekly.Icosystem，a company in Cambridge，Massachusetts，also aims to exploit knowledge of social networking to improve sales.
7.And the psychology that works in physical stores is just as potent on the internet.Online retailers such as Amazon are adept at telling shoppers which products are popular with like-minded consumers.Even in the privacy of your home，you can still be part of the swarm.

Answer keys:
1.答案：(freshly baked) bread. (第1段第2行：Shoppers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they intended.)
2.答案：expensive. (第1段第4行： Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors.)
3.答案：impulse buying. (第2段第1句：At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome, Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani, a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology, described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon.)
4.答案：other (tempting) goods/things/products. (第2段第2句：Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted: for instance, by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store, forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them.)
5.答案：screen. (第3段第4行：As a customer walks past a shelf of goods, a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product. If the number is high, he is more likely to select it too.)

7.答案：NO.(第4段第3、4句：The model has not yet been tested widely in the real world, mainly because radio frequency identification technology is new and has only been installed experimentally in some supermarkets. But Mr Usmani says that both Wal-Mart in America an Tesco in Britain are interestd in his workd, and testing will get under way in the spring. 短语 “get under way”的意思是“开始进行”，在Wal-Mart的试验要等到春天才开始)
