2022年雅思考试阅读模拟试题及答案解析（4）雅思阅读备考是一个非常完整的过程，有先后顺序的，下面就来看看小编为大家收集整理的雅思阅读备考策略，分享给大家，希望对大家有所帮助，文中观点仅供参考。1.由易到难，严抓容易定位的费时短的题，再看难定位的。因此，也不存在是否该先解答哪一种题型的问题。2.至于是该先看文章再答题还是不看文章直接答题应该因人而异，因题目而异。对于词汇量大、阅读速度快、理解力强的考生来说，当然是先读文章较好，当我们熟悉文章的总体思路和结构后，答题时就会少许多盲目和浪费时间，会很顺手。反之，对词汇、阅读速度慢、理解力慢的考生来说，就没多大必要读全篇了，因为对他们而言，读了之后也不会有任何记忆或理解。还不如干脆直接找关键词答问题算了。就题型而言，对于关键词好定位的题当然不需要看全文，而如果所有的题目中都没有特殊印刷体的话，即使没有标题匹配题，我们也必须浏览全文。3.答题一定要全部覆盖，尤其是对于词汇量不够大的考生而言更是如此，因为每篇文章都会多多少少有较容易回答的题。全面覆盖是考得理想成绩的大前提。4.也是所有觉得时间不够的考生应该特别注意的学会放弃。有些考生太执着，一题不解出决不罢休。这在雅思阅读中比较吃亏的。在答题的时候，正确的心态应该是像对待感情一样严肃认真的对待，感觉无望时就赶紧放弃。否则就会留下为一棵树而放弃一片森林的遗憾。以上就是雅思阅读备考的全部内容，任何复习都是一个循序渐进的过程，并要注意能够适当的使用一些考试技巧，最后祝大家都能考出好成绩。1SellingDigitalMusicwithoutCopy-protectionMakesSenseA.Itwasuncharacteristicallylow-keyfortheindustry’sgreatestshowman.ButtheessaypublishedthisweekbySteveJobs,thebossofApple,onhisfirm’swebsiteundertheunassumingtitleThoughtsonMusichasnonethelessprovokedavigorousdebateaboutthefutureofdigitalmusic,whichAppledominateswithitsiPodmusic-playerandiTunesmusic-store.Atissueisdigitalrightsmanagement(DRM)thetechnologyguardingdownloadedmusicagainsttheft.SincethereisnocommonstandardforDRM,italsohastheside-effectthatsongspurchasedforonetypeofmusic-playermaynotworkonanother.Apple’sDRMsystem,calledFairPlay,isthemostwidespread.SoitcameasasurprisewhenMr.JobscalledforDRMfordigitalmusictobeabolished.B.ThisisachangeoftackforApple.IthascomeunderfirefromEuropeanregulatorswhoclaimthatitsrefusaltolicenseFairPlaytootherfirmshaslockedincustomers.SincemusicfromtheiTunesstorecannotbeplayedonnon-iPodmusic-players(atleastnotwithoutalotoffiddling),anyiTunesbuyerwillbedeterredfromswitchingtoadevicemadebyarivalfirm,suchasSonyorMicrosoft.WhenFrenchlawmakersdraftedabilllastyearcompellingAppletoopenupFairPlaytorivals,thecompanywarnedofstate-sponsoredpiracy.OnlyDRM,itimplied,couldkeepthepiratesatbay.C.ThisweekMr.JobsgaveanotherexplanationforhisformerdefenceofDRM:therecordcompaniesmadehimdoit.TheywouldmaketheirmusicavailabletotheiTunesstoreonlyifAppleagreedtoprotectitusingDRM.TheycanstillwithdrawtheircataloguesiftheDRMsystemiscompromised.ApplecannotlicenseFairPlaytoothers,saysMrJobs,becauseitwoulddependonthemtoproducesecurityfixespromptly.AllDRMdoesisrestrictconsumerchoiceandprovideabarriertoentry,saysMrJobs;withoutittherewouldbefarmorestoresandplayers,andfarmoreinnovation.So,hesuggests,whynotdoawaywithDRMandsellmusicunprotected?Thisisclearlythebestalternativeforconsumers,hedeclares,andApplewouldembraceitinaheartbeat.D.Whythesuddenchangeofheart?MrJobsseemschieflyconcernedwithgettingEurope’sregulatorsoffhisback.RatherthancomplainingtoAppleaboutitsuseofDRM,hesuggests,thoseunhappywiththecurrentsituationshouldredirecttheirenergiestowardspersuadingthemusiccompaniestoselltheirmusicDRM-free.Twoandahalfofthefourbigrecordcompanies,hehelpfullypointsout,areEuropean-owned.MrJobsalsohopestopainthimselfasaconsumerchampion.AppleresentsaccusationsthatithasbecometheMicrosoftofdigitalmusic.E.Applecanaffordtoembraceopencompetitioninmusicplayersandonlinestores.Consumerswouldgravitatetothebestplayerandthebeststore,andatthemomentthatstillmeansApple’s.MrJobsisevidentlyunfazedbyrivalstotheiPod.Sinceonly3%ofthemusicinatypicaliTuneslibraryisprotected,mostofitcanalreadybeusedonotherplayerstoday,henotes.(AndeventheprotectedtrackscanbeburnedontoaCDandthenre-ripped.)SoApple’sdominanceevidentlydependsfarmoreonbrandingandeaseofusethanDRM-relatedlockin.F.ThemusicgiantsaretryingDRM-freedownloads.Lotsofsmallerlabelsalreadysellmusicthatway.Havingseenwhichwaythewindisblowing,MrJobsnowwantstobeseennotasDRM’sdefender,butasaconsumerchampionwhohelpedinitsdownfall.Wouldn’titleadtoasurgeinpiracy?No,becausemostmusicisstillsoldunprotectedonCDs,peoplewishingtostealmusicalreadycandoso.Indeed,scrappingDRMwouldprobablyincreaseonline-musicsalesbyreducingconfusionandincompatibility.Withtheleadingonlinestore,Applewouldbenefitmost.MrJobs’sargument,inshort,istransparentlyself-serving.Italsohappenstoberight.Questions1-7DothefollowingstatemetsreflecttheclaimsofthewriterinReadingPassage1?WriteyouranswerinBoxes1-7onyouranswersheet.TRUEifthestatementrefletstheclaimsofthewriterFALSEifthestatementcontradictstheclaimsofthewriterNOTGIVENifitisimpossbiletosaywhatthewriterthinksaboutthis1.AppleenjoysacontrollingpositionindigitalmusicmarketwithitsiPodmusic-playerandiTunesmusic-store.2DRMisagovernmentdecreeissuedwithapurposetoprotectdownloadedmusicfromtheftbyconsumers.SeethethirdsentenceinParagraphAAtissueisdigitalrightsmanagement(DRM)thetechnologyguardingdownloadedmusicagainsttheft.3LackofstandardizationinDRMmakessongsboughtforonekindofmusicplayermaynotfunctiononanother.4ApplehasbeencriticizedbyEuropeanregulatorssinceithasrefusedtograntalicenseFairPlaytootherfirms.5Allmusiccanbeeasilyplayedonnon-iPodmusicdevicesfromSonyorMicrosoftwithouttoomuchfiddling.6AppledependsfarmoreonDRMratherthanbrandingforitsdominanceofthedigitalmusicdevices.7IfDRMwascancelled,Sonywouldcertainlydominatetheinternationaldigitalmusicmarket.8Questions8-10ChoosetheappropriatelettersA-Dandwritetheminboxes8-10
