2018年4月21日雅思阅读考试回忆及解析

一、 考试概述：

今天的考试第一篇和第三篇都不算难，虽然第一篇的话题很新，但文章并没有涉及太多生僻的方面，只是老生常谈的讲了开垦荒地，种植农业等内容，而且题型比较友好，最适合先做。但是第二篇出现了很多专业词汇，影响烤鸭们的阅读速度和答题，另外这篇文章的题型也稍难，会影响考生的心情，建议先做第三篇。

参考文章：

Grandidier’s baobabs have massive, cylindrical, long, thick, trunks, up to three meters across, covered with smooth, reddish-grey bark. They can reach 25 to 30 m (82 to 98 ft) in height. At certain times of the year the flat-topped crowns bear bluish-green palmate leaves, dark brown floral buds or spectacular flowers with white petals. The large, dry fruits of the baobab contain kidney-shaped seeds within an edible pulp.

The long-lived Grandidier’s baobab is in leaf from October to May, and flowers between May and August. The flowers, said to smell of sour watermelon, open just before or soon after dusk, and all the pollen is released during the first night. The tree is pollinated by nocturnal mammals, such as fork-marked lemurs and insects like the Hawk Moth. The lemurs move through the canopies, inserting their snouts into the white flowers and licking nectar from the petal bases, resulting in pollen being deposited in the lemurs’ faces, whereas the moth is slightly more effective at pollination because it is able to fly from tree to tree with most of its body covered in pollen.

The species bears ripe fruit in November and December. Unlike the baobabs of Africa and Australia, it appears that the seeds of the tasty fruit are not dispersed by animals. Lemurs are the only living animals on Madagascar that are capable of acting as seed dispersers, yet seed dispersal by lemurs has never been documented. In the past, however, this could have been very different. There are several species that have gone extinct since human colonization of the island (1,500 to 2,000 years ago) that could very likely have been dispersers of the seeds. This includes species of primates that were thought to be similar to baboons, and the heaviest bird that ever lived, the elephant bird, which had a powerful beak that could have opened large fruit. Today, water may be the means by which the seeds are dispersed.

Lack of water can sometimes be a problem for plants in Madagascar. It appears that the baobab overcomes this by storing water within the fibrous wood of the trunk, as the tree’s diameter fluctuates with rainfall.

Passage 2：

题目：The use of dietar supplements 维生素缺钙

题型：5段落信息配对题+5人物名称配对题+4总结填空题

题号：新题

文章大意：

第一段：维生素C其实并没有什么效果，防御流感的效果和常洗手没有什么区别。scientific research shows that这句话其实非常具有误导性，因为真正的科研只有极少数人懂，还有很多研究人员可能持相反的态度

第二段：研究人员Mark Bollard首先指出一个研究成果可能很快又会被其他研究人员否定，这让大众很迷茫。还有，目前所谓的random trail并不具备很高的可信度，更不用说drug companies的随机调查，并没有科学依据，只是做行为分析。

第三段：Roy Jackson通过大量的样本说明很多营养品作用不大，但是有些营养品在有些阶段还是有效的，比如folic acid(叶酸)对于孕妇。

第四段：研究人员Reid对于钙片的分析，曾经的实验受众是一群特定的女性，不具代表性。原本说钙片可以增加bone density,其实效果不大，而且会对心脏有影响。

第五段：研究人员Mark Bollard支持以上观点。比如虽然很多人不认可，但是钙片销量确实下降了60/100

第六段：一种新型营养品Omega3不能被生产，研究者Stonehouse自己就在吃这个产品，认为有用。Mkeaf认为还是keep a good diet就好了。
