很多考生都会反映雅思阅读时间很紧张，做题速度有点慢。小编想说，速度也是可以练出来的，当然要有正确的方法。不妨来参考一下雅思阅读提速的五个方法。
锦囊2 时态
例1(剑桥真题)
For the first century or so of the industrial revolution, increased
productivity led to decreases in working hours. Employees who had been putting in 12-hour days, six days a week, found their time on the job shrinking to 10 hours daily, then, finally, to eight hours, five days a week. Only a generation ago social planners worried about what people would do with all this new-found free time. In the US, at least, it seems they need not have bothered.
Although the output per hour of work has more than doubled since 1945, leisure seems reserved largely for the unemployed and underemployed. Those who work full-time spend as much time on the job as they did at the end of World War II. In fact, working hours have increased noticeably since 1970 —perhaps because real wages have stagnated since that year. Bookstores now
abound with manuals describing how to manage time and cope with stress.
27 Today, employees are facing a reduction in working hours.(等级：8)
28 Social planners have been consulted about US employment figures.
29 Salaries have not risen significantly since the 1970s.(根据该题1970s定位前两题)
解题思路：这三个题可以很轻松通过Q29的1970s来定位，定位在原文中一二段(如题)，但Q27和28正确率只有5%，(若Q27错，Q28注定会错，所以这两个题目其实是看上去简单，实者是一个考“时态”的题目)
错误思路：第一：根据Q27的working hours去定位，很多同学会定在第一段的第一句或则第二句，根据本题的考点(reduction)，很多学生判断答案为T;同理根据Q28的定位词Social planners和US employment figures定位于第一段最后两句。
正确思路：第一：先确定Q27的时态为“现在时态”，说明就应该去找现在时态，而原文第一段全部为“过去时态”，不看，所以没答案(5秒钟);第二：直接找第二段，先确定时态为“现在时态”，要看;第三：根据working hours定位于原文第二段第三句(见上文黑体字)(10秒钟)，最后确定答案为F。(5秒钟)
同理：Q28就应该在Q27和Q29之间，而Q27和Q29都在一句，所以直接判定Q28为NG。(2秒钟) 总计时间：17秒
锦囊3：单复数
Already, waste paper constitutes 70% of paper used for packaging and advances in the technology required to remove ink from the paper have allowed a higher recycled content in newsprint and writing paper. To achieve the benefits of recycling, the community must also contribute. We need to accept a change in the quality of paper products; for example stationery may be less white and of a rougher texture. There also needs to be support from the community for waste paper collection programs. Not only do we need to make the paper available to collectors but it also needs to be separated into different types and sorted from contaminants such as staples, paperclips, string and other miscellaneous items.
One major difficulty is the removal of ink from used paper but ... (5) ... are being made in this area.
解题思路：Q5(实际等级为8分)通过题目中定位词removal of ink轻松定位原文第二段的第一句(见上文黑体字)。
第一：根据Q5的右边are，能确定该空缺位复数名词;原文直接到找复数advances(10秒钟)
(正常做题逻辑：该空缺在主干，直接确定答案应该是原文一句话的主语或宾语。
然后根据语法可以直接断定原文由and连接的两个单句。主语宾语分别为：waste paper 和70% of paper;advances和a higher recycled content) 。
