不少考生做完阅读题目后就无所作为或沾沾自喜于战绩了,顶多放上一段时间。这样做的原因主要是将来再找个时间重复一下以前的动作。这么做,那就枉费了这些书了。如此往复,自己都觉乏味、没有进步感。
好,我们尝试一种新的 ---- 精读学习这些文章,比较题目和原文的语言点,掌握一些文章的特点。如果在学习的时候,试图想象成,如果在写信作文里出现类似的命题,你可能就会更用心。
其实,价值就在于提升你的语言,找到书信素材。

重点句子分析
1. Depending on the circumstances, this may also pay for either medical personnel or a family member to accompany you home. 【解题】雅思阅读涉及的法律文章,无论是保险,还是企业章程,要特别小心句子里的语气。助动词may就暗示你:可有可无的动作。另reserve the right to do…保留行使什么的权利,也是模棱两可。
2. If you do require medical treatment overseas, and you want to make a claim on your insurance, the claim will not be accepted unless you produce both your student card and your travel insurance card. 【解题】unless除非,起到话锋转移的语言功能。本句意思是,本来不接受你的索赔,但如果你能提供学生证和旅游保险卡,保险就可受理了。
3. This insurance covers the present value of items that are stolen – provided that you have purchase receipts for every item. 【解题】不知情的学生必定把provided当作动词‘提供’过去式来理解,这就是试卷设计者的陷阱,其实呢?该词当连词‘如果’讲。它也是法律条文的常客,记住它,学会它。下回用它来秒杀或反击出题者阴谋。
4. ….if you specifically list them as items in the policy. 【解题】在保单中具体列明属于保险物品。
5. This insurance covers any non-refundable deposit and other costs you have paid if you have to cancel due to ‘unforeseen or unforeseeable circumstances outside your control’. 法律常有免责条款(clause, provision),有时对客户有利,有时则利于商家。不可抗力(force majeure = God’s action),outside your control = beyond your control。
