第一篇:英語寫作
一、寫作備考須知(占15%,標準分107分)
寫作調整到第一部分,會給考生造成一定的心理壓力。而且原來的優勢不復存在。以前寫作放在最后寫,寫不出來的單詞和短語還可以在前面的閱讀和完形甚至詞匯題目中找到對應的詞匯,現在不行了。只有答題卡一張,沒有任何語料的幫助。
1.中國學生目前寫作主要存在以下主要問題:
1)基礎不牢固,很多拼寫和簡單的語法錯誤;
2)寫作詞匯匱乏:詞匯源匱乏,表達單一,閱卷老師很難找到亮點;
3)中式思維:沒形成良好的英語表達習慣,寫作文總是根據漢語的表達習慣來遣詞造句,字字對譯,在句法結構和語法規律上經常出錯。
4)作文模式化嚴重。考生作文大多雷同,寫得再好,叫閱卷老師如何給你高分。
5)卷面不整潔,字數不夠。現在作文都是掃描閱卷,如果卷面不整潔,印象分基本沒有了。
2.關于寫作我的建議:
1)了解寫作類型與體裁,做到所謂的模板拆分和重新組合。
2)注意積累重要的以及典型的四級詞匯和句式。尤其是2500個核心詞匯。
3)克服羞怯心理,把自己的作文拿給老師評閱,修改,點評。(好的老師不會不認真修改其學生的作文的)沒有人指點,哪怕你寫了百篇,也是原地踏步。
所以說,“教師一席話,勝寫百篇文。”
4)遇到不會寫的單詞:換個說法,解釋。
5)盡量不使用生僻的詞匯,使用常見的短語和四級高頻詞匯。
6)盡可能多的使用亮點詞匯和亮點句型,例如:
①.individuals, characters, folks代替(people ,persons)
②: positive, favorable, rosy(美好的),promising(有希望的),perfect, pleasurable , excellent, outstanding代替good
③:dreadful, unfavorable, poor, adverse(有害的)代替bad
如果bad做表語,可以有be less impressive代替
④.more and more =an increasing number of/a growing number of
more and more important = increasingly important
7)適當實用被動來代替主動,這樣更能客觀地反映事實。句子開頭不能總是用I,my等。不用 We should take effective measures to… 而用 Effective measures should be taken to…
8)善于實用連接詞或插入語,例如 however, therefore, for example等
Some hold the opinion that… 換成Other individuals, however, take the attitude that…
別看一個小小的連接詞,有時候作用很大的。正是:Small it is, unimportant it isn’t.9)今后都是掃描閱卷,大家卷面一定要整潔,字數只能多不能少。
二、聽力備考須知(35%,標準分249分)
四級改革的目的之一,把以前以閱讀為主的測試,轉向以聽說為主、兼顧讀寫的測試體系,避免出現“啞巴英語”,以提高學生的英語交流和溝通能力。
1.聽力注意事項:
1)點友們最擔心的是聽力選項的預覽時間,第一部分表格可以得知,在9:55-10:00之間收答題卡一和最后試音時間時可以預覽聽力部分的選項,建議考生要充分利用這段時間掃描passage部分的選項,弄清三篇文章的主題,至于短對話第一題的四個選項在播音前6秒看還來得及。
2)注意聽力測試三個section前沒有指令,直接播放題目,這與舊四級聽力完全不同,考生聽時需要集中注意力,不要錯過重要的信息點。
2.分項指導
Section A 部分的8個小對話:通常都是一男一女的對話。在做短對話題目的時候,仍然要抓住關鍵詞和場景這兩個重要因素。通過捕捉題目中出現的關鍵詞,判斷相關場景。同學們應該熟悉四級聽力常考的十大場景:學習場景、天氣場景、醫院場景、打工場景、租房場景、娛樂場景、餐館場景、選課場景、論文場景、圖書館場景。英語是一種模式化的語言,在固定的場景中其詞匯和表達也相對比較固定,平時注意積累場景高頻詞匯和習慣表達,在四級聽力短對話部分可以做到未聽先知的狀態。
Section A長對話部分:就是把這些問答融入到一段兩個人聊天或者交談當中,其中有寒暄,有過渡,也有問答。考試的重點一般都是問答的答語上。通常情況下,出題的順序和文章的順序是一致的。
Section B的短文聽力部分:不少同學覺得放的太快了,只能蒙個選項。仿佛即使經過長期練習,提高也并不明顯,有時甚至覺得文章聽懂了,做題時仍無從下手。的確,聽力短文部分信息量大,題材范圍廣,從歷年的考試題目來看,從生活、社會、政治到文化、歷史、藝術都考到過,而且這種題目的題型變化多,復雜句多。但是,如果我們注意分析,短文聽力還是有很多規律和方法可循。比如,聽文章的時候一定要抓住文章的開頭和結尾。因為按西方人的習慣,他們喜歡單刀直入,開門見山,所以往往一篇文章的開頭就是主題句(topic sentence),即便不是,它也會包含很多的信息。另外,文中出現的時間,數字,地點信息,原因和轉折句也特別容易被考到。所以,聽的時候要特別留心這些地方,及時做好筆記。
Section C部分:在做復合式聽寫題目之前,首先要對全文進行全局性的預覽,尤其是段落第一、二句和最后一句。如果時間充裕,還可抓緊時間觀察空格前后的一些特殊現象,從中判斷所填單詞的詞性、單復數、時態語態等等。聽的時候要注意精聽速記,以聽為主,以記為輔。比如:遇到一些冠詞,助動詞時可先省略不記,又比如遇到一些較長的詞組,可先記下每個單詞的頭一個字母,或者是較長的單詞只記前三個字母等。等到全部聽完之后,再利用一點時間進行檢查:檢查句子句法的完整性,單詞的正確性等
3.新四級聽力的出題趨勢:
1)磁帶錄音由過去單純的美音朗讀變為現在的英音美音交替朗讀;
2)語速較過去要快一些;
3)生活中一些常用的偏難的詞匯開始多次出現;
4)小對話中的句子逐漸加長,增加了對長句的記憶以及對句子中關鍵信息的捕捉能力;
5)不再是簡單的細節對應,只要聽清了能分辨出來就能答題,它變得更注重于對語言交際能力的考察,許多時候需要你總結或者聽出說話人的言外之意;
6)更加側重于與當今大學生生活密切相關的話題
7)Section B的短文題型改掉了過去選材單一,題材以記敘文為主的特點,而是轉變為以較難的說明文為主要趨勢,并且內容更加廣泛,涉及到環保、宇航、生物介紹等內容;
8)復合式聽寫體裁范圍越來越廣。
4.如何有效提高聽力水平
方法:由 精聽 過渡到 泛聽,逐步提高英語聽力。
精聽(多聽幾遍,聽寫或邊聽邊做筆記,要聽懂每一句話,每一個單詞)
泛聽(只聽一遍,精力主要放在聽懂大意上,不注重語言形式)
精聽:找到合適的材料→尋找聽力盲區(可以試著跟讀,練習語音語調)
泛聽:擴大知識面,提高聽力。
精聽練習:新概念英語2,3,4;VOA Special English; 走遍美國等。
練習方式:dictation(聽寫),聽五遍,第一遍和最后一遍不暫停,其他每次都聽到一句話后暫停,開始記錄,接著放下一句。把聽到的能寫的都寫下來。不會寫的,聽不出來的留白,直到5遍過來之后還有空白,這些空白就是你的聽力盲區。然后這個掃盲。每天一篇,每周進行一次總結,每個月一次大總結。
【注意】聽之前不要看文本,知道最后實在聽不出來的空白處就是你要提高的地方。不斷掃盲,不斷提高。
大約新概念英語課文長短的短文200篇精聽之后,聽力就會有顯著提高。然后可以開始泛聽。
泛聽練習:材料不限,主要聽懂其大意。如果有興趣,可挑一些語速快的泛聽材料做精聽練習,進一步提高自己聽力水平。
考前聽力練習:聽歷年四、六級真題聽力
聽力訓練過程:精聽---泛聽---真題聽力

6、交通問題
Directions: Study the following pictures carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the pictures briefly;2)interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and 3)give your point of view.The pictures vividly reveal that heavy traffic is becoming increasingly serious all over the world.In the first photo, there is traffic congestion on the road with numerous cars, trucks and buses.In the second picture, hundreds of people are waiting for a train.We can deduce from the pictures that the photographer is trying to attract our attention to the issue of heavy traffic.First of all, every year men and women crowd into cities in search of employment, a decent living, and the excitement and stimulation of urban life.As people in mounting numbers flood into cities, city services and facilities have been strained to a breaking point.In addition, since in a city with booming industry, land is precious and cannot be extravagantly used by traffic, traffic flows constantly rise to fill whatever scale of roads and highways are provided for them.It is imperative for us to improve this situation.For one thing, the number of private cars should be limited while more bus routes should be opened up because buses can accommodate more passengers.For another, more streets and roads should be constructed.Since neither of the suggestions can effectively solve the problem, there is an increased awareness that the two solutions may be combined with other possible solutions to produce the best effect.7、網絡問題
Directions: Study the following pictures carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the picture briefly;2)interpret the social phenomenon reflected by it, and 3)give your point of view.In recent years, people are developing an inseparable relationship with Internet.As is vividly depicted in the picture, it is convenient for us to click the mouse when surfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the work’s needs.Actually on-line visiting has become a routine activity in our everyday life.However, it seems rather ironic to use a chain instead of normal wire to connect with the mouse in this picture.The exaggerative and impressive portrayal has subtly revealed the duality of the relationship between man and Internet.Discussion on the duality has become very popular in newspapers or in people’s chats.On the one hand, no one denies that Internet is currently one of the most useful media in our daily life.People from all walks of life are benefiting considerably from its powerful function of information communication.But on the other hand, a great many people admit that they are too much addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.Cyber-living resembles the experience of looking constantly into a kaleidoscope which displays both colored patterns and illusions.Such a waste of time inevitably leads to their failure in their life and work.Accordingly, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence.For one thing, college students in expanding numbers get on line every day to learn the news, to study English by registering for web courses, to exchange information through e-mails with their net friends and to download their favorite music, flash, film and pictures.Being veteran on-line shoppers, they frequently purchase books, CDs at much lower prices.For another, once indulged in the fictitious world, people can barely concentrate on real life.Consequently, many students just chat on line or play computer games immoderately everyday, skipping many essential classes.After all, Internet is invented to enrich our life, to connect you and me, and to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain.8、環境問題
Directions: Study the following pictures carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the pictures briefly;2)interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and 3)give your point of view.The pictures symbolically illustrate pollution is becoming increasingly serious around the globe.In the first cartoon, a man is scorching the earth on a chimney.In the second one, a famous ancient Chinese poet, Wang Bo is astonished by the heavy smoke poured by chimneys into the air and dirty river polluted by a factory.We are informed that “the autumn river is the same color with the sky”.The drawer is sending a message about the significance of the need for everyone to fight against the danger of environmental pollution.There is no denying that the industry is indications of civilization, progress and development.Unfortunately, as industry develops, so will the number of factories, and the amount of industry pollutants.We are so development-oriented that we almost can sacrifice our blue sky and pure water in order to obtain a little material gain.As a consequence, it is imperative for us to take drastic actions.On the one hand, the factories should be equipped with devices which can dispose of waste gas and water so as to prevent them from polluting our planet.On the other hand, there should be an increasingly loud voice from the public for firm actions against poisonous gas sent off and unhealthy water polluted by factories.9、職業道德
Directions: Study the following pictures carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the pictures briefly;2)interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and 3)give your point of view.The cartoons vividly depict people in expanding numbers are engaged in open and rampant cheating in business.In the first drawing, a boy has no courage to have dinner in front of delicious foods in that there may exist pesticide pollution or poisonous elements in the foods.In the second picture, the administrative office, salesmen, breeding families and forage shops are laughing at the hanging of a poisonous duck.Professional dishonesty has a very damaging effect.In the first place, since cheating in business reveals the moral deficiencies as well as the humanity weakness of those businessmen who engage in it, the dishonest practice will ultimately exerts a perverse influence on the whole society.In the second place, it not only puts honest businessmen at a competitive disadvantage, encouraging those who did not cheat to adopt similar practices later, but undermines the very foundation of professional ethics in business.It is often painful to impose sanctions in a specific case.But it is worthwhile.For one thing, to eliminate professional dishonesty thoroughly, serious forms of punishment for a willful offense—a suspension of the offender from business—should be applied.For another, since the incentives to engage in cheating in business are mainly due to a lack of adequate precautions, drastic actions should be taken to prevent one form of cheating or another
10、青少年問題
Directions: Study the following cartoon carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the cartoon briefly;2)interpret the social phenomenon reflected by it, and 3)give your point of view.The cartoon vividly illustrates a gang of youngsters, holding axes in their hands, are rushing to fight with others.The caption reads, “Juvenile delinquency is increasingly lower than normal age.”
Careful deliberation of this problem has given me several ideas as to why this should be so.To begin with, with the rising divorce rate, some children are not properly taken care of, and are easily led astray by evildoers.What is more, devoid of the nourishment of education and a school environment, the teenagers failing in various entrance examinations become full of resentment at a society which they feel has rejected them.Last but not least, inexperienced and gullible young people plunge into the illusory world of electric games, on-line chat or even pornography.Such alienation from proper social values is the slippery slope to crime.It is my view that, first of all, the whole of society should attach great importance to the sound growth of youngsters.Furthermore, proper guidance and protection of adults and schools are vital to teenagers.To sum up, if we exert every effort, the juvenile crime rate will undoubtedly be brought down and effectively controlled in a short while.

第四篇:英語寫作
1.英語文章段落結構特點
英語文章段落結構一般有三部分構成:主題句+擴展句+結尾句
(1)主題句:所謂主題句,就是英語文章段落的中心思想句。它是英語文章段落的靈魂,在英語文章段落中居于主導地位。我們都知道英語文章一般喜歡開門見山,所以主題句一般位于英語文章段落的句首。其他句子都要圍繞它而展開。
(2)擴展句:所謂擴展句就是為主題句起解釋說明或論證的句子。通常我們寫擴展句所采用的方法是舉例子(for example, for instance, such as, a case in point is that---)、列數據(according to the recent study/survey,---)等。
(3)結尾句:所謂結尾句就是總結句。英語寫作也類似于漢語寫作,最后再把自己本段落的寫作目的陳述一下。但是在英語寫作中結尾句畢竟還是少數。因此我們通常看到英語的文章段落結構 60%-70%都是由主題句+擴展句構成。
學會遣詞造句
1.遣詞:
(1)詞匯等級
所謂詞匯的等級就是,我們在寫作的過程中,如果想出一個基本詞匯來之后,能夠在這個基本詞匯的基礎上把它在提升一下,也就是我們一般寫作所提倡的用“難詞”。比如,我們一提到“重要的”,大多數同學首先會想到“important”這個單詞,那么提升一下的話就可以想到它的如下同義詞:significant, vital, main, basilica, crucial, momentous etc
(2)詞匯準確性
所謂詞匯的準確性是指,我們在有一個詞近而想到它的同義詞之后,要結合語境選擇恰當的用詞。在這里必須指明的是,并不是詞匯等級越高越好,必須還要考慮到適合于不同的語境。比如,眼睛大,這個“大的”形容詞,我們首先會想到big,近而想到great, large, huge, vast, titanic, enormous etc。那么是不是用后面的詞就可以了呢?或者說用上enormous等詞更能博得閱卷人的好感呢?答案是否定的。在這里很明顯用后面的詞來修飾眼睛是不可以,只能用big,因為我們聽過一首英文歌曲叫做“I am a big big girl, in a big big world.”big表示眼睛大而迷人可愛的。
造句:
(1)詞組
很多考生平時寫作不太擅長用詞組,對于他們而言最習慣的就是想到漢語,然后對應漢語思維寫出英語句子,這種寫作只能是單詞的羅列組合,談不上什么技巧文采可言,因此,寫出來的文章必然就是所謂平淡如流水,沒有英語的味道。如果我們能夠在單詞的基礎上,進一步想到與之同義的詞組,那么文章就會顯得與眾不同,更具有英語的味道。比如上面所說的“重要的”這個單詞,當我們想到important的時候,如果從語法角度再稍加考慮一下,我們會想到“be of importance”。因為,語法中規定:形容詞等于of加這個形容詞的名詞形式。如果再提升一步,我們還學過一個常用的詞組叫做“play an important role in---”。很多同學說自己的文章湊不夠字數或是沒有文采,那么采用詞組進行寫作是不是就可以解決以上問題了呢?
(2)句式
除了采用詞組,要使文章更具英語的味道,我們還需要變換句式。沒有受過
正規作文訓練的考生,通常采用的句式多為主謂賓、主系表。于是我們看到大多數的文章充斥著這樣的形式:I am a good boy, and I am a student.I study in Shandong University, and I have three years experience in Qilu Hotel.這樣流水帳式的文章顯然不能得到高分。
寫作中閱卷人喜歡的句式有以下兩種:一是插入語;二是倒裝。
第一,插入語。
所謂插入語,英語中有兩種形式。一種是有兩個逗號之間引起的成分稱之為插入語;第二種是有兩個半破折號引起的成分稱之為插入語。如下所示(黑體劃線處):
Jinan, the Spring City, is a famous tourist city.Other people may give us instrumental support—financial aid,material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.插入語的作用主要有兩個,一個是突出主語,比如說:He, who would like to play basketball, is a good student.第二個作用是解釋說明,比如說:People, especially students, should work hard.第二,倒裝
倒裝是我們寫作中需要用到的。雖然略顯俗套,但是卻是很能滿足閱卷人的主觀感受的。常用的倒裝形式有以下幾種:
Only + 時間狀語
Only when all of us join in the efforts of eliminating cheating at all levels can we expect to have a cleaner society and a more beautiful future.Only + 介詞詞組
Only by planning his time care fully can he improve efficiency and make achievements.Only in this way can we master the writing skills step by steps.否定詞位于句首(hardly when;never;not only---,but also---;seldom)在我一生當中很難遇到這樣的人
Seldom in my life have I met such a kind-hearted man.地點方位名詞位于句首
In no other place in the world can one find such enthusiasm for applying for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games.(3)修辭
無論是漢語寫作還是英語寫作,修辭其實非常的重要。它是作者寫作功底具體事例地展現。所謂修辭包括比喻、擬人、排比等等。英語寫作中的修辭問題我已經專門寫過一篇文章(見《英語寫作幾種修辭手法》)。這里僅舉一個比喻例子,還是拿“重要的”來舉例。當你用完詞組之后,如果你用上下面比如句子,則文章就會顯得神采飛揚,試比較:
The bicycle is important for us.The bicycle is of importance for us.The bicycle plays an important role in our life.The bicycle, environmental friendliness vehicle, plays an important
role in our life.The bicycle is like the air, water, and sunshine and cannot be parted with a moment in our life.那么很明顯,最后一個句子是我們最終拿到考場上去搏擊高分的句子。第四,平時要注意積累
很多考生為了寫好作文也作了好多工作,課下也付出了很多,包括背誦大量的文章等等,但是提筆寫作時候,仍不見的有所改觀。問題在哪里呢?高頻詞匯你就不需要了,其實就是四級的單詞...你覺得比較記住的就用用.....加油!
