概述

各位烤鸭们，今天我们来深入分析一篇雅思阅读真题文章《Sweet Trouble》，这篇文章围绕澳大利亚糖业面临的问题展开，下面从题型、文章内容、难度等方面为大家详细解读。

 

一、题型分布

本次阅读包含匹配题、选择题（单选和判断题）两种常见题型。匹配题主要考查考生对细节信息的定位和理解能力，需要将人物的观点与相应陈述进行匹配；选择题则侧重于对文章整体内容的把握以及细节的精准理解。

 

二、文章内容分析

主题与背景

文章以澳大利亚昆士兰州莫斯曼镇的糖业为切入点，讲述了该镇糖业面临的困境。莫斯曼镇长久以来依赖甘蔗种植和制糖业，然而近年来，由于糖价暴跌，糖厂濒临破产，整个产业受到经济和环境因素的双重挤压。

经济层面

• 价格危机：20世纪90年代，糖农每吨糖的平均收益约为350澳元，但到2004年初，糖价暴跌至约232澳元的25年低点，这一价格已接近甚至低于种植成本。

• 政府举措：为避免社会和经济灾难，政府提供超4亿澳元鼓励糖农退出该行业。到当年年底，274名农民接受提议离开，另有约1000人正在考虑。留下的农民通过接受甘蔗付款的大幅削减来挽救糖厂，但这给他们带来了巨大成本。

环境层面

• 过去破坏：糖业过去因化学物质和营养物质径流对大堡礁造成损害，但如今莫斯曼镇的糖农已接近可持续种植模式。例如，沉积物径流问题大幅改善，土壤流失情况得到扭转。

• 环保成本：像汤姆·沃特斯等糖农为环保采取了诸多措施，如在溪边种植树木缓冲带、探索最小土壤扰动方法等，但这些举措成本高昂，却未带来更好的甘蔗价格。

 

三、题目难度分析

匹配题

匹配人物与观点的题目难度适中。考生需要仔细阅读文章中每个人物的言论，准确理解其含义，并与题目中的陈述进行匹配。关键在于定位准确，同时注意一些表述的细微差别。例如，“Cane sugar may not harm the environment as much as other crops do.”这一陈述，需要准确找到与之对应的Karen Benn的观点。

选择题

• 单选题：单选题目主要考查对文章细节的理解和对整体内容的把握。如“the local population would decline if the sugar - processing plant closed.”这一题，需要考生理解Bill Phillips - Turner话语中关于糖厂关闭对当地人口影响的含义。

• 判断题：判断题要求考生对文章中的信息进行准确判断。如“In 2004, the cost of producing sugar in Australia was similar to the selling price.”这一题，考生需要在文中找到关于2004年糖价和生产成本的对应信息进行判断。

 

四、备考建议

提升定位能力

在阅读过程中，要学会快速定位关键信息。可以通过关键词、主题句等方法，迅速找到与题目相关的段落和句子。例如，在做匹配题时，可以先浏览人物观点，提取关键词，然后在文章中快速搜索相关表述。

注重细节理解

雅思阅读对细节的考查非常严格，考生需要仔细研读文章内容，理解每个细节的含义。对于一些复杂的句子和表述，要进行深入分析，确保准确理解。

积累背景知识

虽然雅思阅读不要求考生具备专业知识，但了解一些常见话题的背景知识有助于更好地理解文章。例如，对于糖业相关的经济和环境问题有一定的了解，能更快地把握文章主旨和细节。

通过对这篇《Sweet Trouble》的分析，希望各位烤鸭们能对雅思阅读有更深入的认识，在备考过程中有针对性地提升自己的能力，取得理想的成绩！

READING PASSAGE 1

Sweet Trouble

Problems in the Australian sugar industry

The Australian town of Mossman in the state of Queensland sits in a tropical landscape between the rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. Eco-tourism is important there; more than 80% of Douglas Shire, of which Mossman is the administrative centre, is protected by World Heritage listing. But for most of the town’s history, forest and reef have been largely irrelevant: since the sugar mill was built in 1894, the town has relied on sugarcane. Now Mossman is holding its breath. For two years the mill used by all the farms has been close to bankruptcy. It is at the centre of the economic shocks that have shaken Australia’s sugar industry, and for lifetime farmers and a long list of cane industry workers a way of life will disappear if the mill closes. Mossman has roughly 160 growers, who now produce less than one million of the nation’s annual cane harvest of 30–40 million tonnes. But it is a microcosm of the industry. All across Australia, the cane-growing business is being squeezed between the pincers of economics and the environment.

The ten-year average return to sugar growers throughout the 1990s was about $350 a tonne. In early 2004, sugar prices plummeted, resulting in a 25-year-low average of around $232 a tonne. Although figures vary widely across farms and regions, that was about what it cost to grow a tonne of sugar in Australia. To forestall social and economic disaster, the Government offered more than $400 million to encourage growers to leave the industry. By the end of the year, 274 farmers had taken up the offer to leave, but another 1,000 are thought to be seriously considering it, allowing those remaining to buy the vacated land and improve their economies of scale.

Fourth-generation Mossman grower Bill Phillips-Turner is one who plans to fight on. ‘The consequences of losing the mill would be catastrophic,’ Bill says. ‘Sugar has a big economic multiplier effect: for every dollar generated from sugar, an additional $7 is generated in the wider community. Because of limited options around here, most people now employed by the industry would have to leave the area to find work.’ The farmer-shareholders have so far saved the mill by accepting substantial cuts to cane payments, but this has come at a big cost to everyone. As chairman of the board of the mill, Bill has presided over tough and unpopular decisions: he has had to sack staff, cut working hours and reduce the workforce. Assets were sold and management was outsourced. They have also worked hard to find new ways of doing business. Ethanol production, using sugar-based fuel, has potential, and co-generation, using cane waste to produce fuel, power, or generate electricity, is another possibility. However, the most preferred alternative is to create a future for the mill as a food factory, turning out quality sugar-based foods.

In addition to the economic struggle, there is the environmental one. The sugar industry has the reputation of being environmentally damaging, but it has some surprising supporters. Douglas Shire mayor, Mike Berwick, is a well-known environmentalist, and might be expected to be anti-cane. ‘There’s no question of the past damage it’s done to the reef through chemical and nutrient run-off,’ he says. ‘But there’s a formula for sustainable cane production and Mossman has nearly reached it.’ Another surprise endorsement for cane comes from the Queensland Environmental Protection Agency’s sugar liaison officer, Karen Benn. ‘I’m less worried about the effect of cane on the environment than I am about other agriculture,’ she says. ‘There are good growers everywhere, but at Mossman they seem to have taken up the challenges faster.’ For example, sediment run-off, previously one of the main environmental problems caused by cane growing, is now nothing like it once was, according to Dr Brian Roberts, co-ordinator of the Douglas Shire Water Quality Improvement Program. ‘North Queensland used to hold the record for soil loss,’ he says. ‘Now ... cane country is accumulating soil.’

However, these improvements have been achieved at a great cost to growers. Now in his 60s, Tom Watters has spent a lifetime on the same farm. Fourteen years ago, he was alerted to the fact his cane could be having an impact on the waterway on Mackay Creek, the narrow waterway that receives all his run-off, and so Tom planted a 5,000-tree buffer along the edge of the creek with rocks to prevent erosion, and began exploring methods that cause minimal soil disturbance. However, none of these costly initiatives has helped him get better cane prices. As his neighbour, Doug Cress, comments that ‘Economically, the [cane growing] doesn’t make much sense. But there’s more to life than money. It’s this addiction to the way of life that keeps many cane farmers growing an under-performing crop. “It’s a good lifestyle,” Doug says. “I spend eight months working on the farm and four months working with our kids while my wife works in town. I’ve been looking at alternative crops, like forestry and cocoa, and it turns out that working away from the farm is the best diversification we could do. However, I still don’t want to do that.”’

It is difficult to see how anyone can deal satisfactorily with the passing of a way of life. Cane farmers have been part of eastern Queensland for more than a century. But, despite the efforts they have put into fighting the good environmental fight, there is no guarantee that the new way of life evolving there will include cane.

⼩作⽂: 折线图｡ 1998-2008年三个地区汽⻋数量增⻓量

题⽬分析:

在雅思⼩作⽂中, 分析折线图需要描述数据的趋势和变化｡ ⾸先, 概述图表展示的内容, 即1998年⾄2008 年间英国不同地区汽⻋数量的变化｡ 接着, 描述主要趋势, 如UK Mainland的汽⻋数量显著增⻓, ⽽Ireland Island和Isle of Man的变化较⼩｡ 最后, 提供具体数据⽀持你的描述, 例如UK Mainland在2008 年的汽⻋数量接近30,000,000辆, ⽽Ireland Island和Isle of Man的数量则分别在15,000,000辆和500,000辆左右｡ 使⽤⽐较和对⽐的词汇, 如'increased significantly’, ‘remained relatively stable’, 来增强描述的准确性和清晰度｡

 

⼤作⽂:  The media should include more stories which report good news. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

 

题⽬分析:

这个作⽂题⽬探讨了媒体在新闻报道中的⻆⾊, 问及媒体是否应该更多地报道好消息｡ 在回答时, 学⽣可以考虑积极新闻的潜在益处, ⽐如提升⼠⽓､ 激发希望等｡ 同时, 也可以权衡其可能的弊端, ⽐如忽视重要问题｡

从⽀持报道更多好消息的⻆度来看, 积极的新闻可以’uplift’ (提升) 公众情绪, 营造更加乐观的社会氛围｡ 例如, 报道社会公益活动､ 科技创新成就或个⼈英雄事迹等, 能够 ‘foster optimism’ (激发乐观主义), 增强⼈们对未来的信⼼｡ 此外, 这种正⾯的新闻报道还可以 ‘inspire’(激励) ⼈们去做出积极的改变, 促进社会的和谐发展｡

然⽽, 反对观点认为, 媒体如果过度关注好消息, 可能会’sugarcoat reality’ (粉饰现实), 忽略⼀些亟待解决的社会问题｡ 例如, 负⾯新闻往往涉及社会不公､ 环境危机或健康问题等, 这些内容虽然’unpleasant’ (令⼈不快), 但却⾮常’critical’(关键),  因为它们能够引起公众的关注和政府的重视, 从⽽推动问题的解决｡

在写作时, 学⽣可以使⽤⼀些与媒体相关的词汇, 如’news coverage’ (新闻报道)､ ‘media bias’ (媒体偏⻅) 等, 来阐述媒体在选择报道内容时的倾向性｡ 同时, 也可以结合’uplifting’ (振奋⼈⼼的)､’fostering optimism’ (培养乐观主义)等表达来⽀持报道好消息的观点; 或者使⽤’missing out on critical issues’ (忽视关键问题)等词汇来反驳过度强调好消息的观点｡
