内容简介：
 摘要本书作者根据历年雅思阅读考题,对出题的范围进行了总结,把涉及的题材大体分为十二大类别:(1)自然现象,(2)人类历史上的重大事件,(3)交通运输,(4)语言,(5)环境保护,(6)动物,(7)建筑,(8)社会问题,(9)医疗卫生,(10)农、工、商,(11)教育,(12)科学技术。本书的阅读训练部分就是按照这十二个专题分单元编写的,每个单元包括五篇由短到长的文章,每个单元的练习都覆盖各种常见题型。这样的编写让考生对每个专题都能得到充分的阅读训练,从而熟悉这一专题可能涉及的词汇、表达方式和出题方式。这样,在真正的考试中,就不会因为对题材感到生疏而影响阅读速度。
为了方便考生掌握相关词汇,本书在每一篇文章后都附了选篇所涉及的词汇,相应的词汇在选篇中也用斜体标出,便于考生直接查阅。因为每个专题涉及的词汇并非五篇文章所能涵盖,所以本书还特别编写了专题分类词汇学习手册,把与每个专题密切相关的词汇以英汉对照的方式列出,做成口袋书随书附赠,便于考生随身携带,随时随地查阅、记忆。
