今天新航道名師為大家奉上語法在雅思閱讀考試中的重要性及實例的文章，供大家參考，以下是詳細內容。
雅思對于語法的考查看似并不明顯，但卻融入在聽說讀寫四項當中。作為一名雅思閱讀老師，為了避免泛泛而談，本人主要談兩點語法在雅思閱讀中的重要性。
一. 利用語法知識，快速抓住一些長難句的主干，省略不重要的從句部分。同時，句中的轉折詞;破折號;冒號后面的信息為重點。例：劍九第99 頁選擇題31 題為：
31. Compared with today’s museums, those of the past…
A. did not present history in a detailed way.
B. were not primarily intened for the public.
C. were more clearly organised.
D. preserved items with great care.
根據題干中的名詞museum 及表示時間的詞past，再根據順序原則，很容易定位到原文A 段第六行：
Museum used to look-and some still do- much like storage rooms of objects packed together in showcases: good for scholars who wanted to study the subtle differences in design, but not for the ordinary visitor, to whom it all looked alike.
這一句話長達40個單詞，要是逐字翻譯完是一個很大的工程。但如果我們像刨洋蔥一樣一層層找出中心句，就會發現：冒號后面部分是重點信息，所以從“good for…” 往后看， 而but 后面內容又是關鍵，“ …in design”前面的內容都可以先不看。“to whom”為非限定性定語從句，可以先忽略。所以我們在這整句話中只需看“but not for the ordinary visitor”這六個單詞就可以了。這道題答案為B. were not primarily intended for the public;題目中public 與visitor 對應。
二. 在做摘要填空或簡答題時，通過已知信息判斷答案的詞性，排除干擾選項。例如：劍六第42 頁選詞類的摘要填空題：
Research carried out by scientists in the United States has shown that the proportion of people over 65 suffering from the most common age-related medical problems is 14……and that the speed of this change is 15…….It also seems that these diseases are affecting people16……in life than they did in the past. This is largely due to developments in 17 ……, but other factors such as improved 18…… may also be playing a part. Increases in some other illnesses may be due to changes in personal habits and to 19 ……. The research establishes a link between levels of 20…… and life expectancy. It also shows that there has been a considerable reduction in the number of elderly people who are 21 ……, which means that the 22…… involved in supporting this section of the population may be less than previously predicted.
其中19 題： 利用名詞“habits” 可以定位到原文第五段“An increase in some cancers and bronchitis may reflect changing smoking habits and poorer air quality….” 這句話。
在文中與“poorer air quality” 同義替換的兩個選項為 “N. pollution” 以及 “O. environmental”。實際上，如果考生對于due to(由于)用法相對熟悉，知道 “to”在這里是個介詞，介詞后面跟名詞或動名詞時，答案就很容易選“N. pollution”。而environmental 是個形容詞，在這句話中就不符語法了。
