雅思阅读作为一项输入端考试，相比输出端的口语和写作，无论是从难度还是从拉高的进度，都相比之下简单一些。那么雅思阅读应该如此拉高，笔者觉得，应该从词，句，段落几个维度进行。
关于雅思阅读的单词
作为一项语言能力考试，很多烤鸭刚刚接触到雅思越的时候，普遍的感受是：不适应。好多背过的单词意思在句子里面行不通，那么雅思阅读的词汇的“庐山真面目”体现在什么地方呢
维度1：要有词性之间的转折意识
例1：
In recent months these questions have become more frequent as former and current ministers,governors,high officials and an American investorhave ended up in Moscow’s high-security
Lefortovo jail
例2：
Disney’s dominance of the box office will count for less as fewer people frequent cinemas
在例1中很容易读出来frequent就是adj频繁的；经常的；但是在例2中frequent摇身一变，成了动词，“经常观光”的意思。
维度2：要有积累熟词僻义的意识
例1：
Why and how these people spread out into central and southern Africa remains a mystery,but archaeologists believe that their iron weapons allowed them to conquer their hunting-gathering opponents,who still used stone implements.
在本例中，词汇量稍微大一点的烤鸭，就背过implement v贯彻；执行；但是带入句子中意思并不能理解，那这个情况下就要有主动学习的意识，根据句子本身，发现implement在这里做名词用，查一下便可发现，implement:a tool,especially one used for outdoor physical work.尤指用于户外体力活的〕工具，用具，器具所以如果在平时练习或者考试中遇到agricultural implements这个表达，便可以心领神会的读出来，这是“农业工具”的意思。
例2：
Apprentices were considered part of the family,and masters were responsible not only for teaching their apprentices a trade but also for providing them some education and for supervising their moral behavior
在本例中，烤鸭读到a trade的时候，便可发现，trade在这里必然不是n贸易的意思，根据上面所谈的主动学习的意识，查词典便可发现trade:particular job,especially one needing special skill with your hands n手艺所以当读到Borison’s father is a teacher by trade的时候，便可以没有阻碍的看出，这句话说的是Borison的父亲的职业是老师。
