总起来说,雅思有别于 TOEFL、CET4、CET6 等其他考试,需要掌握的单词很难量化,IELTS 考试听力部分选用的文章都来自英语国家的日常生活,因此并没有绝对的词汇数字,尽管没有绝对的单词总数设定,但雅思听力最需要掌握的是“替换词汇”,因为听力里面常常会出现“绕弯”现象,尤其是选择题。也就是说,你听到的内容并不是最直接的答案,而是需要你”转换“一下你听到内容,最后变成答案!
今天为大家精选了2016年雅思听力中最常见的词汇,熟练掌握这些词,可能比简单背诵一万个单词更有用。
雅思听力 section 2 中经常会考到一些社会事件,比如说会议、展览、节日等。参加这些社会活动就需要通过网站、单页、通知版、广告等来了解活动的信息、日程安排、主题等详细信息。一些大型会议和活动学生是可以选择参加的,而且还提供住宿和餐饮,一切都只需要在注册的时候声明并且缴纳相应的费用即可。
Events: Convention, exhibition, conference, festival, exposition
Examples: Australian retailers’ convention, art exhibition, business conference, summer music festival, drama festival, travel exposition, world expo, cartoon exhibition, flower exhibition, auto show
Publicity: website/internet, leaflets, flyers, notice board, posters, advertisements, good for a family, children, adult, senior citizens
Transportation: bus, taxi, cab, subway, tube, coach, parking problems
Agenda: dates, timetable
Focus/theme: music/live music, art, ballet, clothes, drama, food, business, demonstration, comics, flower arrangement, biscuits
Celebration: parade, dance, chorus, music band
Catering: café, restaurant, pub, cafeteria, canteen, refectory, dining room, refreshments, snacks, takeout, takeaway, set lunch, barbecue
Security: security entrance, security office, security personnel/staff, fire exit, lockers, Check ID, video surveillance, cameras, crowded, children easily get lost
这类单词肯定是大家感觉到比较专业和难于掌握的,并不是需要大家全部记忆下来,但起码要做到对发音和中文意思比较敏感,这样才会对全文的听力内容有一个较好的把握。否则就好像是听到了科普类文章一样,茫然不知所措,进而导致完全放弃。
atmosphere: Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide, Ozone, sulphur monoxide
pollution: air pollution, acid rain, contaminated water, pollutant, contaminant, chemicals, toxic waste
Geographical: soil erosion, desertification, drought, floods, overfishing, over-felling, deforestation
energy: fossil fuels, coal, gas, petroleum, solar, tide, wind power, nuclear, marsh gas, methane, biogas
recycling: plastic, paper, glass, bottle tops, ink cartridges, spare parts/components
这个场景主要是购物或者租房子后发现有一些这样那样的问题,物体的型号、主要的问题、需要什么时间来修理、有没有质保、替换还是退款等都会是很重要的考点。雅思听力还是非常实用的,能让我们提前预习到在国外会碰到的场景,帮我们了解外国人处理一些事情的流程和规则。
What to repair: fridge, refrigerator, washing machine, CD player, electric light, clock, bungalow, cooker, rice cooker, printer (shelf), Model type/number

饮食和健康是雅思听力考试中永恒不变的主题。在 Section 4 中经常出现关于健康饮食和生活方式的探讨。与此同时,听力中关于一些疾病的原因和治疗也都跟此有着密切的联系。我想 Heart disease, chronic illness, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure 等疾病大家已经并不陌生了。
Food intake/elements: protein, vitamins, fat, carbohydrates, fat acid, calcium, cholesterol, minerals, calorie, kilocalorie

这个场景每年都会进行几次考查,重点要明确各种关于医生、治疗、疾病、药物、手术、医院的英文表达方式,以及弄清楚西方国家的医疗体系和看病流程。
比如说 family doctor 这个概念在中国几乎是不存在的,但是在西方的社区里非常普遍。怎样注册一个家庭医生,他们看病怎样收费等都是我们应该去了解的。
