  雅思阅读是一种任务型阅读。在做题目的时候，我们需要在跳读、扫读和精读之间灵活转换，从而快速找到题目中所需的信息并在必要的时候对文中的一句话或几句话进行深层次的理解。

所谓精读，就是通过逐行阅读文章从而精确而清晰地理解文章的意思。为了能够让大家更有效地精读每篇文章，我们结合例子，由浅入深从词汇、句子、段落3个层面来了解精读的时候都需要注意理解哪些内容，而通过理解这些内容又能给我们带来什么好处。

之前我们讲述了应如何从【词汇层面】、【句子层面】了解精读时应注意的一些内容，这次为大家带来了【段落层面】的相关内容。

背景：在看文章的时候，一些同学可能会收到自身语言能力和阅读习惯的限制，经常只见树木不见森林，导致一篇文章看下来，只抓住了一些零散的信息，却没有抓住这些信息之间的逻辑。其实在学术文章中，作者的逻辑都是非常清晰的，他们会运用各种“逻辑连接词”来对段落中的内容以及几个段落中的内容进行衔接，方便读者跟上他们的思路，由于篇幅原因，笔者放两段原文给大家抛砖引玉，请关注下方原文中加粗的逻辑连接词，体会它们的作用。

【原文1】Psychologists have long held that a person’s character cannot undergo a transformation in any meaningful way and that the key traits of personality are determined at a very young age. However, researchers have begun looking more closely at ways we can change. Positive psychologists have identified 24 qualities we admire, such as loyalty and kindness, and are studying them to find out why they come so naturally to some people. What they’re discovering is that many of these qualities amount to habitual behaviour that determines the way we respond to the world. The good news is that all this can be learned.

【原文2】Hunt and Lipo contend that moai-building was an activity that helped keep the peace between islanders. They also believe that moving the moai required few people and no wood, because they were walked upright. On that issue, Hunt and Lipo say, archaeological evidence backs up Rapanui folklore. Recent experiments indicate that as few as 18 people could, with three strong ropes and a bit of practice, easily manoeuvre a 1,000 kg moai replica a few hundred metres. The figures' fat bellies tilted them forward, and a D-shaped base allowed handlers to roll and rock them side to side.

Moreover, Hunt and Lipo are convinced that the settlers were not wholly responsible for the loss of the island's trees. Archaeological finds of nuts from the extinct Easter Island palm show tiny grooves, made by the teeth of Polynesian rats. The rats arrived along with the settlers, and in just a few years, Hunt and Lipo calculate, they would have overrun the island. They would have prevented the reseeding of the slow-growing palm trees and thereby doomed Rapa Nui's forest, even without the settlers' campaign of deforestation. No doubt the rats ate birds' eggs too. Hunt and Lipo also see no evidence that Rapanui civilisation collapsed when the palm forest did. They think its population grew rapidly and then remained more or less stable until the arrival of the Europeans, who introduced deadly diseases to which islanders had no immunity. Then in the nineteenth century slave traders decimated the population, which shrivelled to 111 people by 1877.

Hunt and Lipo's vision, therefore, is one of an island populated by peaceful and ingenious moai builders and careful stewards of the land, rather than by reckless destroyers ruining their own environment and society. 'Rather than a case of abject failure, Rapu Nui is an unlikely story of success’, they claim. Whichever is the case, there are surely some valuable lessons which the world at large can learn from the story of Rapa Nui.

分析：【原文1】是一种比较典型的开头段展开方式，先用一个传统的观点作为引入，然后通过“however”这个转折词来表明后面的内容才是作者真正想要进行展开的内容，从而体现出这篇文章的新奇之处和写作意义；【原文2】中有三段话，虽然很长，但是通过辨识“moreover”和“therefore”这两个逻辑连接词，我们很快就可以分辨出这三段之间的关系：前两段是并列关系，都是具体论述；而最后一段和前面两个段落是因果关系，作者在最后一段中给出了结论。

好处：在精读文章的时候，如果能有意识地去关注这些逻辑连接词，就可以提升自己对逻辑衔接方面的敏感度，从而在练习的时候更好地把上下文的意思进行串联；同时，学习逻辑连接词的用法还对写作颇有益处，让自己写出来的文章更有条理。
