题型难度分析	本篇阅读题型为判断题和短问题回答题，都是细节题目顺序做题，难度偏低。
题型技巧分析	判断题作为雅思阅读的主流题型，一直是让考生较为困惑的一种题型，这种困惑往往来自于中西方文化在思维模式上的差异。西方文化较为侧重证据性，追求思维上的细节对应，因此考生在做题中应逐渐适应这种逻辑方式。可参考以下判断原则： True: 1. 同义改写 2. 归纳总结 False: 1. 直接相反 2. 原文是多个项目并列但题目是“必须”或者“只有”3. 缺少条件成分 Not given: 1. 内容在原文中无提及 2. 题目范围小于原文范围 3. 比较关系不成立 *判断题应特别注意书写答案的规范性：注意看是YES/NO/NOT GIVEN 还是TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN, 书写时要大写全拼。
相似英文原文阅读	A The idea of electrical communication seems to have begun as long ago as 1746, when about 200 monks at monastery in Paris arranged themselves in a line over a mile long, each holding ends of 25 ft iron wires. The abbot, also a scientist, discharged a primitive electrical battery into the wire, giving all the monks a simultaneous electrical shock. "This all sounds very silly, but is in fact extremely important because, firstly, they all said 'ow' which showed that you were sending a signal right along the line; and, secondly, they all said 'ow' at the same time, and that meant that you were sending the signal very quickly, "explains Tom Standage, author of the Victorian Internet and technology editor at the Economist. Given a more humane detection system, this could be a way of signaling over long distances. B With wars in Europe and colonies beyond, such a signalling system was urgently needed. All sorts of electrical possibilities were proposed, some of them quite ridiculous. Two Englishmen, William Cooke and Charles Wheatstone came up with a system in which dials were made to point at different letters, but that involved five wires and would have been expensive to construct. C Much simpler was that of an American, Samuel Morse, whose system only required a single wire to send a code of dots and dashes. At first, it was imagined that only a few highly skilled encoders would be able to use it but it soon became clear that many people could become proficient in Morse code. A system of lines strung on telegraph poles began to spread in Europe and America. D The next problem was to cross the sea. Britain, as an island with an empire, led the way. Any such cable had to be insulated and the first breakthrough came with the discovery that a rubber-like latex from a tropical tree on the Malay peninsula could do the trick. It was called gutta percha. The first attempt at a cross channel cable came in 1850. With thin wire and thick installation, it floated and had to be weighed down with lead pipe. E It never worked well as the effect of water on its electrical properties was not understood, and it is reputed that a French fishermen hooked out a section and took it home as a strange new form of seaweed The cable was too big for a single boat so two had to start in the middle of the Atlantic, join their cables and sail in opposite directions. Amazingly, they succeeded in 1858, and this enabled Queen Victoria to send a telegraph message to President Buchanan. However, the 98-word message took more than 19 hours to send and a misguided attempt to increase the speed by increasing the voltage resulted in failure of the line a week later. F By 1870, a submarine cable was heading towards Australia. It seemed likely that it would come ashore at the northern port of Darwin from where it might connect around the coast to Queensland and New South Wales. It was an undertaking more ambitious than spanning an ocean. Flocks of sheep had to be driven with the 400 workers to provide food. They needed horses and bullock carts and, for the parched interior, camels. In the north, tropical rains left the teams flooded. In the centre, it seemed that they would die of thirst. One critical section in the red heart of Australia involved finding a route through the McDonnell mountain range and then finding water on the other side. G The water was not only essential for the construction team. There had to be telegraph repeater stations every few hundred miles to boost the signal and the staff obviously had to have a supply of water, lust as one mapping team was about to give up and resort to drinking brackish water, some aboriginals took pity on them. Altogether, 40, 000telegraph poles were used in the Australian overland wire. Some were cut from trees. Where there were no trees, or where termites ate the wood, steel poles were imported. H On Thursday, August 22, 1872, the overland line was completed and the first messages could be sent across the continent; and within a few months, Australia was at last in direct contact with England via the submarine cable, too. The line remained in service to bring news of the Japanese attack on Darwin in 1942. it could cost several pounds to send a message and it might take several hours for it to reach its destination on the other side of the globe, but the world would never be same again. Governments could be in touch with their colonies. Traders could send cargoes based on demand and the latest prices. Newspapers could publish news that had just happened and was not many months old.

题型难度分析	本篇阅读结合选择判断总结三种题型，难度适中。
题型技巧分析	选择题是雅思阅读中一种考生熟悉的传统题型，其中主要分为四选一和多选多两种类型。多选多实际上是一种较为简单的题型，因为正确答案数目是已知的（which three/four）而且答案在原文中是集中出现的。四选一在考试中相对较难，因为四个选项的区分度较低，考生往往会出现看哪个选项都像的情况。推荐解题步骤： 1.找出题干中的核心关键词，尽可能定位到原文中的一个段落。 2.从头到尾快速阅读选定段落，根据题干中的其他关键词以及选项确定正确答案，正确答案往往是对原文词句的改写。 3.对于难题可使用排除法。注意顺序性：题目顺序和原文顺序基本一致。

考试趋势分析和备考指导：

2016首场考试延续了2015的风格，再次出现了AB卷，甚至澳新地区还出现了C卷。从题型上讲，考试在保持了一定数量传统题型的基础上，出现了难度较大的段落信息匹配题。推荐考生对此类题型多加练习并总结做题经验。Summary题型也多次出现，考生应注意仔细阅读题目要求，看清楚是对文章哪一部分的总结概括。本次考试出现的题型对考生的英语功底考察全面，对英语综合实力要求高，所以建议考生全方位地提高语言实力应考，从词汇和句法上把基本功打牢。
纵观2015所有雅思考试，2016的阅读考试难度有增大的趋势，建议大家在熟练掌握判断题（2015出题比例25.5%）和填空题（2015出题比例29.1%）的基础上，重点准备段落信息匹配题(配对题2015出题比例21.1%)。题材方面，考生除了关注常规的社科历史类文章话题外，应多加关注从2015比例逐渐上升的心理学类文章，进行相关话题词汇的积累，多进行泛读练习。词汇量和阅读量是决定阅读分数关键的两个因素，再配合对题型的熟悉和适当的技巧，才能在考试中无往而不胜。
