雅思阅读在备考的过程中最让考生头痛的就是生词了，那么应该如何背单词呢?今天小编给大家带来了雅思阅读误区详解之盲目背单词，希望能帮助到大家，下面小编就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。
【高分必备】雅思阅读误区详解之盲目背单词
同学们在做雅思阅读过程中都出现过类似情况，发现所做文章词似乎都能认得差不多，通过猜测能猜出文章内容，结果做题时5道题错了4个。但有时一篇文章读不懂，题目看不懂，蒙一蒙，结果5道对了4个，针对这种情况，我们来归纳总结一下为什么。
首先，举个例子，同学们都知道plant是种植，在英文中，有一个现象叫做名词合用为动词，所以加入前缀，implant是植入,replant是移植，两词词性都发生了变化。另一词power，中文意为能量、力量，powerplant很多同学会根据这个联想为有能量的植物。实际powerplant意为发电站。
根据上面的例子可以看到小词汇对雅思阅读的影响，很多同学做阅读看到powerplant，文中再出现太阳，就会联想至光合作用，如此贯穿全文，可能会认为整片为生物类文章。整体理解出现偏差，导致最终5道题错了4个。
很多同学在背雅思单词的时候，经常会背出一些长的、难的、不认识单词来，这是一个误区。其实做雅思阅读并不是这样，有些时候，影响你阅读的恰恰是一些小词。
再比如plant一词，在雅思词汇中运用最多的意思是植物，种植，另一部分使用的语义是作为名词，工厂、场站。如出现chip plant的词汇，是芯片工厂。但没有接触过的同学，再加上不理解上下文，甚至会误以为薯片工厂,这样，全文呈现吃货的走向。所以，单词永远是雅思阅读最重要的一个问题。
雅思考试阅读模拟试题及答案解析
Next Year Marks the EU's 50th Anniversary of the Treaty
A. After a period of introversion and stunned self-disbelief, continental European governments will recover their enthusiasm for pan-European institution-building in 2007. Whether the European public will welcome a return to what voters in two countries had rejected so short a time before is another matter.
B. There are several reasons for Europe’s recovering self-confidence. For years European economies had been lagging dismally behind America (to say nothing of Asia), but in 2006 the large continental economies had one of their best years for a decade, briefly outstripping America in terms of growth. Since politics often reacts to economic change with a lag, 2006’s improvement in economic growth will have its impact in 2007, though the recovery may be ebbing by then.
C. The coming year also marks a particular point in a political cycle so regular that it almost seems to amount to a natural law. Every four or five years, European countries take a large stride towards further integration by signing a new treaty: the Maastricht treaty in 1992, the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997, the Treaty of Nice in 2001. And in 2005 they were supposed to ratify a European constitution, laying the ground for yet more integration—until the calm rhythm was rudely shattered by French and Dutch voters. But the political impetus to sign something every four or five years has only been interrupted, not immobilised, by this setback.
D. In 2007 the European Union marks the 50th anniversary of another treaty—the Treaty of Rome, its founding charter. Government leaders have already agreed to celebrate it ceremoniously, restating their commitment to “ever closer union” and the basic ideals of European unity. By itself, and in normal circumstances, the EU’s 50th-birthday greeting to itself would be fairly meaningless, a routine expression of European good fellowship. But it does not take a Machiavelli to spot that once governments have signed the declaration (and it seems unlikely anyone would be so uncollegiate as to veto it) they will already be halfway towards committing themselves to a new treaty. All that will be necessary will be to incorporate the 50th-anniversary declaration into a new treaty containing a number of institutional and other reforms extracted from the failed attempt at constitution-building and—hey presto—a new quasi-constitution will be ready.
E. According to the German government—which holds the EU’s agenda-setting presidency during the first half of 2007—there will be a new draft of a slimmed-down constitution ready by the middle of the year, perhaps to put to voters, perhaps not. There would then be a couple of years in which it will be discussed, approved by parliaments and, perhaps, put to voters if that is deemed unavoidable. Then, according to bureaucratic planners in Brussels and Berlin, blithely ignoring the possibility of public rejection, the whole thing will be signed, sealed and a new constitution delivered in 2009-10. Europe will be nicely back on schedule. Its four-to-five-year cycle of integration will have missed only one beat.
F. The resurrection of the European constitution will be made more likely in 2007 because of what is happening in national capitals. The European Union is not really an autonomous organisation. If it functions, it is because the leaders of the big continental countries want it to, reckoning that an active European policy will help them get done what they want to do in their own countries.
G. That did not happen in 2005-06. Defensive, cynical and self-destructive, the leaders of the three largest euro-zone countries—France, Italy and Germany—were stumbling towards their unlamented ends. They saw no reason to pursue any sort of European policy and the EU, as a result, barely functioned. But by the middle of 2007 all three will have gone, and this fact alone will transform the European political landscape.
H. The upshot is that the politics of the three large continental countries, bureaucratic momentum and the economics of recovery will all be aligned to give a push towards integration in 2007. That does not mean the momentum will be irresistible or even popular. The British government, for one, will almost certainly not want to go with the flow, beginning yet another chapter in the long history of confrontation between Britain and the rest of Europe. More important, the voters will want a say. They rejected the constitution in 2005. It would be foolish to assume they will accept it after 2007 just as a result of an artful bit of tinkering.
