正在备考雅思的宝子，你们是不是做阅读时总觉得时间不够用，文章还没读完，答题时间就到了？别慌，今天小K姐姐就给大家分享一个超实用的雅思阅读技巧——平行阅读法，帮你提高阅读效率，轻松应对雅思阅读考试！

 

一、平行阅读法是什么？简单来说，平行阅读法就是同时阅读文章和题目，通过定位关键词，在文章中快速找到答案的方法。传统的阅读方法是先通读全文，再看题目，然后返回文章找答案。但雅思阅读文章篇幅长、内容多，这样做不仅浪费时间，还容易在阅读过程中遗忘关键信息。平行阅读法打破了这种常规，让你边读边做题，大大提高答题效率。

二、平行阅读法的优势节省时间：不用反复通读全文，直接根据题目关键词定位答案，能在有限的考试时间内完成更多题目。提高准确率：带着问题阅读，目标明确，不容易被文章中的无关信息干扰，更精准地找到答案所在位置 。增强阅读信心：每完成一道题，都能增加一份对文章的理解，让你在阅读过程中更有成就感，减少焦虑。

三、如何运用平行阅读法熟悉题型：雅思阅读常见题型有选择题、填空题、判断题、配对题等。不同题型有不同的解题技巧，在运用平行阅读法前，要对各种题型了如指掌 。比如判断题，要注意区分True/False/Not Given ；配对题则要关注段落大意和关键词匹配。浏览题目：拿到阅读试卷后，先快速浏览所有题目，标记出题目中的关键词。关键词通常是名词、动词、形容词等实词，这些词能帮助你在文章中准确定位答案。比如题目是 “The main reason for the decline of the species is habitat loss”，其中“decline of the species”和“habitat loss”就是关键词 。开始阅读：从文章第一段开始阅读，边读边留意刚才标记的关键词。一旦发现关键词或其同义词、近义词，就停下来仔细阅读上下文，判断这里是否是答案所在。如果是，就完成对应的题目；如果不是，继续阅读。交叉定位：雅思阅读题目顺序通常和文章段落顺序一致，但也有例外。当遇到难题找不到答案时，不要在一个地方死磕，可以先做下一道题，根据下一道题的答案位置，反向推断上一道题答案可能出现的范围 。比如第3题答案在文章第4段，第5题答案在文章第6段，那么第4题答案大概率就在第5段。注意细节：在定位答案时，一定要仔细阅读上下文，确保答案准确无误。有些题目可能会设置陷阱，比如偷换概念、改变时态等 。比如文章说“will be built”，题目中变成“has been built”，这就是典型的时态陷阱。

 

四、实战演练以剑15 Test 1 Passage 1 “Nutmeg - a valuable spice”为例，给大家演示一下平行阅读法的具体运用。原文内容Nutmeg - a valuable spiceThe nutmeg tree, Myristica fragrans, is a large evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia. Until the late 18th century, it only grew in one place in the world: a small group of islands in the Banda Sea, part of the Moluccas - or Spice Islands - in northeastern Indonesia. The tree is thickly branched with dense foliage of tough, dark green oval leaves, and produces small, yellow, bell-shaped flowers and pale yellow pear-shaped fruits. The fruit is encased in a fleshy husk. When the fruit is ripe, this husk splits into two halves along a ridge running the length of the fruit. Inside is a purple-brown shiny seed, 2-3cm long by about 2cm across, surrounded by a lacy red or crimson covering called an 'aril'. These are the sources of the two spices nutmeg and mace, the former being produced from the dried seed and the latter from the aril.Nutmeg was a highly prized and costly ingredient in European cuisine in the Middle Ages, and was used as a flavouring, medicinal, and preservative agent. Throughout this period, the Arabs were the exclusive importers of the spice to Europe. They sold nutmeg for high prices to merchants based in Venice, but they never revealed the exact location of the source of this extremely valuable commodity. The Arab-Venetian dominance of the trade finally ended in 1512, when the Portuguese reached the Banda Islands and began exploiting its precious resources.Always in danger of competition from neighbouring Spain, the Portuguese began subcontracting their spice distribution to Dutch traders. Profits began to flow into the Netherlands, and the Dutch commercial fleet swiftly grew into one of the largest in the world. The Dutch quietly gained control of most of the shipping and trading of spices in Northern Europe. Then, in 1580, Portugal fell under Spanish rule, and by the end of the 16th century the Dutch found themselves locked out of the market. As prices for pepper, nutmeg, and other spices soared across Europe, they decided to fight back.In 1602, Dutch merchants founded the VOC, a trading corporation better known as the Dutch East India Company. By 1617, the VOC was the richest commercial operation in the world. The company had 50,000 employees worldwide, with a private army of 30,000 men and a fleet of 200 ships. At the same time, thousands of people across Europe were dying of the plague, a highly contagious and deadly disease. Doctors were desperate for a way to stop the spread of this disease, and they decided nutmeg held the cure. Everybody wanted nutmeg, and many were willing to spare no expense to have it. Nutmeg bought for a few pennies in Indonesia could be sold for 68,000 times its original cost on the streets of London. The only problem was the short supply. And that's where the Dutch found their opportunity.The Banda Islands were ruled by local sultans who insisted on maintaining a neutral trading policy towards foreign powers. This allowed them to avoid the presence of Portuguese 。运用步骤浏览题目：这篇文章的题目包含判断题和填空题等。迅速浏览题目，圈出像“nutmeg tree”“European cuisine”“Dutch East India Company”等关键词，这些都是能帮助我们定位答案的关键信息。开始阅读：从文章第一段开始，逐句阅读。当读到“The nutmeg tree, Myristica fragrans, is a large evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia.”时，就会发现与标记的“nutmeg tree”关键词相呼应，此时就可以对照相关题目进行答题。接着往下读，遇到其他关键词时，重复这一过程。交叉定位：如果在某一段没有找到某道题的答案，不要停留太久，继续往下读。比如，一道填空题的答案在第三段没找到，那就接着做下一道题，通过下一道题在第四段的答案位置，来推断前一道题的答案范围可能就在第三段和第四段之间。注意细节：在定位答案时，一定要仔细分析上下文。例如，题目中提到“nutmeg was mainly used as a flavouring agent in European cuisine”，在文章中找到相关内容后，要仔细判断“mainly”这个词是否准确，原文中是否有更全面的表述，以此来确定答案的正确性。

宝子们，平行阅读法虽然好用，但也需要通过大量练习才能熟练掌握。大家可以在平时做雅思阅读真题时，刻意运用平行阅读法，不断总结经验，提高答题速度和准确率。希望今天的分享能对大家的雅思备考有所帮助，祝大家都能早日和雅思分手，成功上岸！如果在学习过程中有任何问题，欢迎在评论区留言哦~
