The Arctic Ocean

　　The Arctic Ocean (also called Northern Icy Ocean or Northern Ocean), located in theNorthern Hemisphere and mostly in the Arctic north polar region, is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five major oceanic divisions. The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) recognizes it as an ocean, although some oceanographers call it the Arctic Mediterranean Sea or simply the Arctic Sea, classifying it a mediterranean sea or an estuary of the Atlantic Ocean. Alternatively, the Arctic Ocean can be seen as the northernmost part of the all-encompassing World Ocean.

　　Almost completely surrounded by Eurasia and North America, the Arctic Ocean is partly covered by sea icethroughout the year (and almost completely in winter). The Arctic Ocean's temperature and salinity varyseasonally as the ice cover melts and freezes; its salinity is the lowest on average of the five major oceans, due to low evaporation, heavy freshwater inflow from rivers and streams, and limited connection and outflow to surrounding oceanic waters with higher salinities. The summer shrinking of the ice has been quoted at 50%. The US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) uses satellite data to provide a daily record of Arctic sea ice cover and the rate of melting compared to an average period and specific past years.

　　一、先看問題，尋找關鍵詞

　　在雅思聽力訓練中，考生一定要養(yǎng)成先看問題，尋找問題的關鍵詞，在去聽原文。這樣能鍛煉考生對答案的敏感度。在看問題的時候，考生可以知道這題的出題方向是什么，是偏重原因的，還是偏重數字的，還是人物關系。考生可以用筆畫下關鍵詞，提高反應能力，還能有效進行同義轉化。

　　二、注意判斷題，多記連接詞

　　判斷題是考驗考生是否能聽懂原文中所提到的內容以及各種抉擇。通常的解題技巧是用排除法來得到正確答案，這時候難度會加大，要求考生能聽懂每段話的詳細意思。因為里面通常還會出現轉折，也就是前段說了一個觀點，最后反駁這個觀點，考生很容易產生誤導，選擇第一個聽到的觀點。

　　三、把握原文信號詞，注意填寫格式

　　在雅思聽力考試中，最考驗的就是考生對細節(jié)把握的能力。很多像電話號碼，住址，門牌號，還有郵編號都需要考生在聽的時候就要記下來。還要記一下專有名詞，例如名字，數字，食物，還有地方。
