第一部分 考研英語(yǔ)大作文話(huà)題類(lèi)型與寫(xiě)作...................................2 第二部分 考研英語(yǔ)小作文分類(lèi)講解..........................................17 2014 考研英語(yǔ)作文預(yù)測(cè)班輔導(dǎo)講義 1 2014 考研英語(yǔ)作文預(yù)測(cè)班輔導(dǎo)講義
預(yù)測(cè)考試內(nèi)容是一個(gè)考試輔導(dǎo)老師應(yīng)盡的職責(zé)和義務(wù),對(duì)于考試內(nèi)容的把握其實(shí)就是這個(gè)老師對(duì)于考
試命題思路的理解,更是責(zé)任心的體現(xiàn)。我們不把所有的希望都寄托在預(yù)測(cè)上,因?yàn)槲覀円恢倍荚谂Γ俏覀儽仨氼A(yù)測(cè)。多年以來(lái),我的預(yù)測(cè)也得到了事實(shí)的檢驗(yàn)。這份講義從敲下第一個(gè)字開(kāi)始到最后的完
結(jié),整整花了一個(gè)月的時(shí)間,每天關(guān)注各種熱點(diǎn),在書(shū)桌旁,在站臺(tái)上,在候機(jī)廳,在列車(chē)上,在機(jī)艙內(nèi)
寫(xiě)下這份盡可能詳實(shí)卻負(fù)擔(dān)不重的講義,為了給大家更多選擇,更多歡樂(lè),有時(shí)同一個(gè)含義給了近十種表
達(dá),在這份講義中所提及的內(nèi)容幾乎涵蓋了所有的可能話(huà)題。只要大家能認(rèn)真背誦,稍加靈活的運(yùn)用就一
定能幫到大家。所以失敗只有兩種:不背和背錯(cuò)!只要努力了就一定會(huì)成功!
當(dāng)這個(gè)時(shí)代被打上喧囂,焦慮,彷徨,迷茫,猶豫,徘徊的烙印時(shí),考研人群注定只能和孤獨(dú)為伍,與堅(jiān)持為伴;我們也想去狂歡,想去放縱,想去矯情,想去放棄?但是我們走到了今天,我們甚至不敢相
信我們真的已經(jīng)走到了復(fù)習(xí)的盡頭;我們不愿意相信十幾天后我們將不會(huì)再回到熟悉的自習(xí)室,在安靜地
復(fù)習(xí)了一天后和小伙伴們一起披星戴月,拖著疲憊的身體但卻無(wú)比充實(shí)地回到宿舍,那碗泡面的味道會(huì)承
載著這段時(shí)光,留存在我們的腦海里。
我們會(huì)記得“說(shuō)話(huà),是不是”,你會(huì)記得“I have a dream”,會(huì)記得因?yàn)锳 所以B,選A 不選B,湯老師
精辟的思路講解,還有那不時(shí)冒出的美妙的英文;你會(huì)記起蔣老師精彩的時(shí)政解讀。但不遠(yuǎn)的將來(lái)這些都
將變成并不清晰的痕跡,但是正是這歲月留下的痕跡,會(huì)在你不經(jīng)意地回眸中帶給你最美好的回憶,不是
去追憶一個(gè)人,一件事,而是那些屬于青春的記憶碎片。在這些碎片中我們收獲的勇氣和感動(dòng)將伴我們一 路向前!所以,考研這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)斗到了現(xiàn)在,不用害怕,不用緊張,曼德拉曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)這樣的一句話(huà):It always seems impossible until it’s done.很多事情在它被完成之前,看上去都是不可能完成的。而且,我們只是在兌現(xiàn)對(duì)自
己青春的承諾。雖然2013 年是青春泛濫的一年,但是當(dāng)“致我們終將逝去的青春”,“中國(guó)合伙人”,甚至 “小時(shí)代”把那樣的青春展現(xiàn)在我們面前的時(shí)候我們依然會(huì)被感動(dòng),因?yàn)槲覀冇幸粯拥倪^(guò)往,能感動(dòng)我們 的是那份堅(jiān)持,與時(shí)空無(wú)關(guān)。
KK 想和作為準(zhǔn)研究生的你們分享兩種一直我雖不能至,卻心向往之的情懷: 1.為天地立心、為生民立命、為往圣繼絕學(xué)、為萬(wàn)世開(kāi)太平。
As Zhang Hengqu noted, “To ordain conscience for Heaven and Earth;To secure life and fortune for the people;To continue lost teachings for past sages;To establish peace for all future generations”.2.“有兩種東西,我對(duì)它們的思考越是深沉和持久,它們?cè)谖倚撵`中喚起的驚奇和敬畏就會(huì)日新月異,不斷增長(zhǎng),這就是我頭上的星空和心中的道德定律。”
As Kant said, “Two things fill me with constantly increasing admiration and awe, the longer and more earnestly I reflect on them: the starry heavens without and the moral law within.(Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily reflection is occupied with them: the starry heaven above me and the moral law within me.”)我會(huì)陪著你們走到最后,不離不棄!祝愿大家2014 考研成功!何凱文

In no country other than China, it has been said, is this problem more urgent and serious.或者:
The past decade has witnessed a huge development in economy owing to some policy being carried out, bringing some problems at the same time, with the above one being the foremost.或者:

More specifically speaking, individuals, enterprises, organizations and even the whole society fail to notice the damaging consequences of dishonesty when undergoing the dramatic social transformation.更具體的講,在經(jīng)歷劇烈的社會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)型的過(guò)程中,個(gè)人,企業(yè),組織甚至是整個(gè)社會(huì)都沒(méi)有能注意到誠(chéng)

54..Decades of nonstop economic development in China have led some people to worry about moral degradation in the newly rich society.However a set of virtue codes have steadfastly held the ground, bringing about ever responsible citizens of the society and nurturing the growth of culture at the same time.Volunteer spirit is surely one of the most prominent.2014 考研作文預(yù)測(cè)班輔導(dǎo)講義 6 幾十年不停滯的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展使得一些人很擔(dān)心在當(dāng)下繁榮社會(huì)中的道德缺失。但是一系列的道德規(guī)范穩(wěn)

1.In other words, were there no volunteer spirit, we would never taste the civilization of the modern society.或者: 2.Simply put, it inspires and boosts the sound evolution of our nation.簡(jiǎn)單講,這種力量激發(fā)并促進(jìn)了我們國(guó)家的健康發(fā)展。第三段的展開(kāi): 超級(jí)無(wú)敵結(jié)尾段: 版本一:
Any thinking man would admit that our ardent love for life will further guarantee the prosperity of this life-affirming force which will usher a completely new horizon for the great renewal of our nation.In view of the importance of such a positive phenomenon, we must, doubtless, establish a coordinated mechanism to ensure its everlasting rewarding effects on our society.Only in a reasonable, prosperous and healthy atmosphere can we hope to witness the ideal scene in which people can enjoy their life to the uttermost,(I argue.)(90 字)任何一位有識(shí)之士都會(huì)承認(rèn),我們對(duì)于生活的深深的熱愛(ài),將會(huì)進(jìn)一步確保這種生命正能量的繁榮,這種力量將會(huì)為我們民族的復(fù)興開(kāi)創(chuàng)一個(gè)全新的局面。正是考慮到這種正面現(xiàn)象的重要性,毫無(wú)疑問(wèn),我

The picture does demonstrate that, traditional Chinese festivals, the invaluable cultural heritage embodying our shared belief, spirit and history, have been increasingly neglected by us.正如上圖所示,體現(xiàn)了我們共同的信念、精神和歷史的中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日——我們無(wú)價(jià)的文化遺產(chǎn),正逐
漸被我們所忽視。第二句:
It is mournful that such time-honored holidays are playing an ever insignificant role in our lives and gradually declining to the background, 這種歷史沉淀的傳統(tǒng)竟然漸漸淡化,在我們的生活中扮演越來(lái)越不重要的角色,實(shí)在令人感傷。第三句:
Because if they finally become just dead symbols or abstract concepts to be found in dusted books, we would be in danger of lost our uniqueness as a people who persist into this day with records of continued civilization and become just another state wholly consumed by the prevailing pop culture.因?yàn)槿绻鼈冏罱K只是成為無(wú)生命的符號(hào)或塵封在書(shū)本中的抽象概念的話(huà),我們就會(huì)失去作為一個(gè)文
明始終未中斷的民族的獨(dú)特性,和世界上很多其它國(guó)家一樣,僅僅成為一個(gè)擁有流行文化的地方。或者
Traditions like them are powerful cohesive forces that bond us together, giving us clues of our ancestors’
struggles and achievements and infusing sense of pride into us as the direct lineage of great heroes.它們這樣的傳統(tǒng)是聯(lián)系我們的強(qiáng)大凝聚力,它們留有祖先奮斗的痕跡和成就,讓我們驕傲,告訴自己,我們是英雄的傳人。第三段: 版本一 第一句:
Since human civilization evolves by building on the past and probing into the future, the first crucial step for a society aiming at further growth is to preserve the existing traditions and cultures.人類(lèi)文明以基于過(guò)去、展望未來(lái)的方式不斷發(fā)展,因此對(duì)于一個(gè)有志于進(jìn)步的社會(huì)來(lái)說(shuō),保護(hù)好現(xiàn)存 的傳統(tǒng)和文化是重要的第一步。或者
As so often, the past holds the key to the future,the existing traditions and cultures have to be preserved to answer the possible questions to come.因?yàn)檫^(guò)去總是擁有關(guān)于未來(lái)的答案,所以傳統(tǒng)和文化必須保護(hù)以回答未來(lái)的問(wèn)題。第二句:
Fortunately, we have noticed that a series of courses on traditional Chinese culture have been introduced to the high school classrooms and Confucius Institutions have been established in many countries.This is a good start.幸運(yùn)的是我們已經(jīng)注意到,一系列傳統(tǒng)中國(guó)文化的課程被引入了中學(xué)課堂;孔子學(xué)院在很多國(guó)家建立。

As is shown above, China’s online shoppers reached 210 million by the end of June.The country is expected to become the world largest online retail market next year, overtaking Japan.第二段:
After my exploration of this graph and consideration of some related facts, I would like to present the following reasons.Firstly, according to a survey, China’s Internet population reached 538 million, and it is the number that ushers a great possibility of the online shopping’s boom.Secondly, E-commerce companies are paying increasing attention to technology development and innovation to attract more online shoppers.Consistent with the improvement of technology is investment banks cheering it on, with more money poured into the market facilitating sales promotion.第三段
Impressive as the numbers are, there’s another set of statistics that’s even more striking: nearly one-third of the online shoppers in China fell prey to fraudulent websites during that period.Protection needs to be in place for everyone, starting with consumers, if China’s E-commerce industry is to grow as it can and should.第二部分 考研英語(yǔ)小作文分類(lèi)講解 書(shū)信的講解

第二篇:考研英語(yǔ)閱讀——何凱文
[頂] k哥考研英語(yǔ)閱讀34分必殺技之---關(guān)注觀(guān)點(diǎn)
o
每每課間游走于教室時(shí),總能見(jiàn)勤勉刻苦的同學(xué)會(huì)努力的在每一個(gè)他們不認(rèn)識(shí)單詞的上方標(biāo)出漢語(yǔ)意思,字跡工整,詳實(shí)豐富。這可謂之正確的做事。但是每次我都會(huì)告誡同學(xué)們以后切不可如此,因?yàn)檫@樣的標(biāo)注會(huì)使自己下次復(fù)習(xí)的時(shí),視線(xiàn)呈波浪狀起伏,閱讀到認(rèn)識(shí)的單詞時(shí)視線(xiàn)是平的,到不認(rèn)識(shí)處,視線(xiàn)自然上升。這樣其實(shí)不是在閱讀英文而是在閱讀中文,以后再看到滿(mǎn)頁(yè)的英文時(shí)還是會(huì)覺(jué)得恐懼。閱讀的能力依然很難提高。所以我們雖然在正確的做事,卻沒(méi)有做正確的事。
英語(yǔ)考研閱讀理解A節(jié)中30%的考題是含有考研英語(yǔ)特有思路的,也就是說(shuō):“即使掌握了英語(yǔ)的基本技能(詞匯,句子和語(yǔ)篇分析能力),如果不了解考研的出題思路,在面對(duì)選項(xiàng)時(shí),考生依然很難做出正確的選擇。”1所以盲目的對(duì)句子進(jìn)行分析,而不從出題人的設(shè)計(jì)思路上入手,這樣很容易掉入出題人設(shè)計(jì)的陷阱。“一艘大海中沒(méi)有目標(biāo)的航船,來(lái)自任何一個(gè)方向的風(fēng)都是逆風(fēng)。”“任何偉大的勝利都是思維的勝利”。所以我們必須首先找準(zhǔn)目標(biāo),理清思路這樣才能無(wú)往而不利,在萬(wàn)千化境中保持那份“大好河山都陷了,至少這理還在的”從容。
(一)考研的文體到底是什么?
這個(gè)話(huà)題是被很多學(xué)生忽視的問(wèn)題,甚至包括很多老師對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題的重視程度都不夠。我們往往就是停留在知道《Economist》(經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人)上的很多文章是考研出題人所青睞的。但在分類(lèi)的時(shí)候還是將文章分為:說(shuō)明文和議論文。“面對(duì)議論文時(shí)我們要關(guān)注作者和文中其他人所談到的觀(guān)點(diǎn)。面對(duì)說(shuō)明文時(shí)我們重點(diǎn)是考察重要細(xì)節(jié)和概念性的描述。”這是常識(shí)。而在考研的科普文中,我們一旦陷入關(guān)注細(xì)節(jié)的和概念性描述的常識(shí)性認(rèn)識(shí)之中,我們就很難將一些題目作對(duì)。經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人在英文世界中的地位很像我國(guó)的《讀書(shū)》雜志,在上面發(fā)表文章的人都是英文世界中的文膽級(jí)的人物,而考研出題人所選取的文章也更多的是偏向人文社科和經(jīng)濟(jì)類(lèi)的文章,和針砭時(shí)弊,嬉笑怒罵,自成一派的反思性文章。即使選取的是科普類(lèi)的文章,文中更多的也是對(duì)人物觀(guān)點(diǎn)進(jìn)行評(píng)論,所以我們必須形成清醒的認(rèn)識(shí):考研閱讀的文體就是議論文,哪怕是科普性的文章也是側(cè)重對(duì)文中觀(guān)點(diǎn)進(jìn)行考察。
(二)題干的作用是什么?
在閱讀的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化試題中,我們都可以把閱讀分為三個(gè)部分:原文,題干和選項(xiàng)。原文是解題的依據(jù),題干是解題的路標(biāo),選項(xiàng)是解題的關(guān)鍵。而對(duì)于考研閱讀中題干的路標(biāo)作用同學(xué)們的理解并不深刻,很多時(shí)候老師在解析的時(shí)候也更多在關(guān)注選項(xiàng)間的區(qū)別,以及和原文的對(duì)應(yīng)。認(rèn)真關(guān)注題干,才是我們要做的正確的事。首先看第一個(gè)例子:
And this process need not be left to the unconscious.Cartwright believes one can exercise conscious control over recurring bad dreams.As soon as you awaken, identify what is upsetting about the dream.Visualize how you would like it to end instead;the next time it occurs, try to wake up just enough to control its course.With
much practice people can learn to, literally, do it in their sleep.(2005年passage3)
34.Cartwright seems to suggest that ________.A)waking up in time is essential to the ridding of bad dreams
B)visualizing bad dreams helps bring them under control
C)dreams should be left to their natural progression
D)dreaming may not entirely belong to the unconscious
這是一篇寫(xiě)如何控制夢(mèng)的文章,從題材上講是科普類(lèi)的文章,但是整個(gè)文章都在講述一個(gè)核心的觀(guān)點(diǎn)。如果能從觀(guān)點(diǎn)議論的角度出發(fā),這篇文章中的很多難題都能迎刃而解。
34題當(dāng)年的難度系數(shù)為:0.3712,也就是只有37.1%的同學(xué)作對(duì)了這個(gè)題,屬于考研典型題目。
首先看一下題干:卡特萊特似乎在暗示________.問(wèn)題是在問(wèn)文中人物的觀(guān)點(diǎn),因此這個(gè)題干直接就把我們帶到了段落的第二句:Cartwright believes one can exercise conscious control over recurring bad dreams.(卡特萊特認(rèn)為人們可以練習(xí)有意識(shí)地控制噩夢(mèng)的重演)believe就是題干中suggest的同意表述。如果我們牢記觀(guān)點(diǎn)對(duì)應(yīng)觀(guān)點(diǎn)的法則,這個(gè)題很容易選出D選項(xiàng)---夢(mèng)可能并不完全的是無(wú)意識(shí)的。而如果仔細(xì)閱讀后面的內(nèi)容你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)其他選項(xiàng)有極強(qiáng)的迷惑性。
A)waking up in time is essential to the ridding of bad dreams.及時(shí)的醒來(lái)對(duì)于擺脫噩夢(mèng)非常重要。
文中有談到 try to wake up just enough to control its course,但只是說(shuō)到這個(gè)事實(shí),Cartwright沒(méi)有對(duì)這個(gè)事實(shí)的性質(zhì)做出評(píng)價(jià),所以essential是錯(cuò)誤點(diǎn)。
B)visualizing bad dreams helps bring them under control
想象噩夢(mèng)有助于我們控制它們。
文中談到的是Visualize how you would like it to end instead;
想象一下噩夢(mèng)是怎么結(jié)束的,而不是想象噩夢(mèng)本身。1所以bad dream成為錯(cuò)誤點(diǎn)。
C)dreams should be left to their natural progression
應(yīng)該讓夢(mèng)自然推進(jìn)。
這個(gè)選項(xiàng)干擾性不強(qiáng),可以直接排除。
而A,B兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)卻是讓人在短時(shí)間內(nèi)很難排除,但如果我們緊扣題干,相信路標(biāo),先做正確的事,那么我們就能避過(guò)考試出題人的干擾陷阱,直擊正確選項(xiàng)D。2009年考研第二篇文章再次出現(xiàn)了這樣的題目,并且思路和意圖更加明顯。
But some observers are skeptical, “There is a kind of false precision being hawked by people claiming they are doing ancestry testing,” says Troy Duster, a New York University sociologist.He notes that each individual has many ancestors-numbering in the hundreds just a few centuries back.Yet most ancestry testing only considers a single lineage, either the Y chromosome inherited through men in a father’s line or mitochondrial DNA, which a passed down only from mothers.This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two ancestors, even though, for example, just three generations back people also have six other great-grandparents or, four
generations back, 14 other great-great-grandparents.28.Skeptical observers believe that ancestry testing fails to _____.A)trace distant ancestors
B)rebuild reliable bloodlines
C)fully use genetic information
D)achieve the claimed accuracy
依然先看一下題干:持懷疑態(tài)度的觀(guān)察家認(rèn)為家譜檢測(cè)未能_____.問(wèn)題同樣是在問(wèn)文中人物的觀(guān)點(diǎn),因此這個(gè)題干直接就把我們帶到了段落的第一句But some observers are skeptical, “There is a kind of false precision being hawked by people claiming they are doing ancestry testing,” says Troy Duster, a New York
University sociologist.但有些觀(guān)察家對(duì)此表示懷疑的。紐約大學(xué)的社會(huì)學(xué)家特洛伊.達(dá)斯特說(shuō),“聲稱(chēng)自己在做家譜測(cè)試的人正在吹噓一種虛假的精確性。”同樣道理believe就是題干中的says,這個(gè)社會(huì)學(xué)家就是懷疑者中的一個(gè),他的觀(guān)點(diǎn)代表的就是懷疑者的觀(guān)點(diǎn),因此我們很清晰可以看出D選項(xiàng)---達(dá)到(檢測(cè)者)所聲稱(chēng)的精確度,為對(duì)剛才那句話(huà)的同意替換,是正確答案。我們要是以后面的內(nèi)容作為選擇依據(jù)我們將被迷惑項(xiàng)搞得痛苦不堪,尤其是選項(xiàng)C。
我們先解決到A和B
A)trace distant ancestors
追溯年代久遠(yuǎn)的祖先
文中說(shuō)most ancestry testing only considers a single lineage只考慮了單線(xiàn)的祖先,而不是說(shuō)找不到年代久遠(yuǎn)的祖先,輕松排除。
B)rebuild reliable bloodlines
重建可靠的血統(tǒng)譜系
文中說(shuō)This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two
ancestors,這種測(cè)試只能告知不完全的血統(tǒng)譜系,而不是說(shuō)不能重建可靠的血統(tǒng)譜系。
最后看看C選項(xiàng),這個(gè)選項(xiàng)在教育部的考試分析中我們可以看到這個(gè)選項(xiàng)時(shí)是錯(cuò)選率最高的,在錯(cuò)選答案中占到了89% 3也就是這個(gè)題做錯(cuò)的同學(xué)幾乎都是錯(cuò)選的這個(gè)選項(xiàng)。
Fail to C)fully use genetic information
(未能)完整的利用基因信息
文章中Yet most ancestry testing only considers a single lineage只考慮了單線(xiàn)的祖先;This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two ancestors,這種測(cè)試只能告知不完全的血統(tǒng)譜系;幾乎所有的線(xiàn)索都指向了答案C。但先仔細(xì)對(duì)比一下這兩種說(shuō)法:
1)Fully use genetic information;2)use full genetic information;
前一個(gè)強(qiáng)調(diào)的是使用這個(gè)動(dòng)作的完整性;后一個(gè)強(qiáng)調(diào)的是使用對(duì)象的完整性。顯然你就知道C選項(xiàng)是不對(duì)的了。
但是在考場(chǎng)上很少有同學(xué)能思考到這個(gè)層次,在D和C之間徘徊的時(shí)候請(qǐng)牢牢地記住了,問(wèn)題在問(wèn)觀(guān)點(diǎn)是什么,就不要去選對(duì)觀(guān)點(diǎn)的分析了。
再次強(qiáng)調(diào):緊扣題干,找準(zhǔn)路標(biāo),問(wèn)觀(guān)點(diǎn)就找觀(guān)點(diǎn),先做正確的事,再正確的去做事。

第四篇:2018何凱文考研英語(yǔ)每日一句
你的構(gòu)造遠(yuǎn)非完美。根據(jù)最新一份研究結(jié)果,人類(lèi)基因組75%的編碼都是無(wú)用的。休斯頓大學(xué)的Dan Graur表示,目前一些研究團(tuán)體將DNA的任何生化活動(dòng),不管多微小,都視為功能性的體現(xiàn);這是不對(duì)的,只有當(dāng)一個(gè)基因片斷擁有有意義的用處時(shí),才能算作有功能。而對(duì)于功能性基因來(lái)說(shuō),如果一個(gè)變異出現(xiàn)并打亂片斷時(shí),就會(huì)對(duì)人體造成危害。出于很多原因,DNA總是在任意變異,比如說(shuō)紫外線(xiàn)輻射或細(xì)胞分裂時(shí)出現(xiàn)的DNA復(fù)制錯(cuò)誤。Graur認(rèn)為,如果人類(lèi)大多數(shù)的DNA都是功能性的,那么大多數(shù)有害的變異早就令人類(lèi)不堪承受了。而如果人類(lèi)大多數(shù)DNA都沒(méi)有用的話(huà),那么大多數(shù)變異都無(wú)關(guān)痛癢,只有少數(shù)會(huì)起到非常明顯的效果,這和現(xiàn)實(shí)驚人的一致。今天的句子:
After 20 years of biologists arguing that most of the human genome must have some kind of function, it now seems that, because of the way evolution works, the vast majority of our DNA has to be useless – a suggestion that contradicts claims from prominent researchers.What can we learn from the text?(A)The famous scholars are of the idea that the human genome must be functional.(B)The 20 years study has proved that most DNA of ours is useless for our health.(C)The claims from famous scholars contradict the function of DNA in evolution.(D)The new research have proved that the function of useless DNA in human evolution.詞匯突破
genome 基因組 evolution 進(jìn)化 majority 大多數(shù)
contradict 否定;與……矛盾 claim 聲稱(chēng);要求
prominent 顯著的;杰出的 確定主干:
it now seems that the vast majority of our DNA has to be useless.切分成分:
1.After 20 years of biologists arguing…狀語(yǔ)
2.that most of the human genome must have some kind of function賓語(yǔ)從句 3.because of the way evolution works原因狀語(yǔ)
a suggestion(that contradicts claims from prominent researchers)同位語(yǔ);其中括號(hào)里嵌套了一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句
參考譯文:二十多年來(lái),生物學(xué)家一直認(rèn)為大部分人類(lèi)基因組均有一定功能。但現(xiàn)在看起來(lái),因?yàn)檫M(jìn)化的工作機(jī)制,DNA中的絕大多數(shù)必須是無(wú)用的——這個(gè)意見(jiàn)否定了許多杰出研究者的假設(shè)。
昨天題目的講解:
After 20 years of biologists arguing that most of the human genome must have some kind of function, it now seems that, because of the way evolution works, the vast majority of our DNA has to be useless – a suggestion that contradicts claims from prominent researchers.What can we learn from the text?(A)The famous scholars are of the idea that the human genome must be functional.這個(gè)選項(xiàng)中有一個(gè)關(guān)鍵短語(yǔ): Be of the idea that = 同意…觀(guān)點(diǎn)…
prominent researchers= The famous scholars 根據(jù)原文可以知道: biologists 的觀(guān)點(diǎn)= prominent researchers 的觀(guān)點(diǎn)
而biologists 的觀(guān)點(diǎn)是:most of the human genome must have some kind of function=the human genome must be functional.所以A選項(xiàng)是完美的同意替換!
這個(gè)句子其實(shí)講了兩個(gè)觀(guān)點(diǎn)一個(gè)是傳統(tǒng)的過(guò)去的觀(guān)點(diǎn),生物學(xué)家和杰出的研究者都認(rèn)同的觀(guān)點(diǎn):人類(lèi)的基因組必須是有一定功能的。還有一個(gè)觀(guān)點(diǎn)是現(xiàn)在的新觀(guān)點(diǎn):由于進(jìn)化的方式,大多數(shù)的人類(lèi)基因是沒(méi)有用的。

Although he had little else to offer patients besides the lifestyle remedies of the Greeks, melancholia was finally thought to be at least partly biological.In subsequent years, everything from herbal remedies to opium to music therapy to spinning stools designed to make people too dizzy to feel pain fell in and out of vogue.We can learn from the passage that___.(A)herbal remedies were once in fashion to control melancholia Fashion=vogue
原文:herbal remedies fell in of vogue.選項(xiàng):herbal remedies were once in fashion Too…to feel pain= to control melancholia 感覺(jué)不到痛苦=控制抑郁癥 所以A就是正確答案!
(B)there are many therapies to heal and cure melancholia Heal 和cure 不對(duì),沒(méi)有說(shuō)這些治療手段能治愈抑郁癥。(C)the Greeks finally found melancholia to be physical disease 翻譯:希臘人最終發(fā)現(xiàn)抑郁癥是生理疾病; 這個(gè)發(fā)現(xiàn)不是希臘人做出來(lái)的,所以排除!(D)the opium used to be used to cure the melancholia Used to be used = 過(guò)去被用,而現(xiàn)在不被用;

Back in 1990, Pew asked couples what made a marriage work, and fewer than half(47%)of adults said sharing household chores was very important.When couples were asked again 17 years since later, no other item on the list(which included faithfulness and happy sexual relationships)had risen in importance nearly as much, and across the demographic landscape―among men as well as women, marrieds as well as singles;old as well as young.According to the recent survey, what makes the marriage work well decisively ?(A)the loyalty to the marriage(B)the harmonious communication(C)the importance of home chores(D)the joint efforts for homework

[A] Customers might be relieved of their disasters through lawsuits.[B] Injured customers could expect protection from the legal system.[C] Companies would avoid being sued by providing new warnings.[D] Juries tended to find fault with the compensations companies promised.先做題再看解析吧!題目的解析:
1.It’s a rough world out there.外面的世界很殘酷;
2.Step outside and you could break a leg slipping on your doormat.一出門(mén),你可能在門(mén)墊上滑倒,摔斷了腿;
3.Light up the stove and you could burn down the house.一給爐子生火,你可能會(huì)把房子給燒了。前三句話(huà)做了一個(gè)引入; 4.Luckily, if the doormat or stove failed to warn of coming disaster, a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles.幸運(yùn)的是,如果門(mén)墊或者火爐沒(méi)有警告即將到來(lái)的災(zāi)難,一場(chǎng)成功的訴訟可能會(huì)對(duì)你的麻煩做出賠償。
5.Or so the thinking has gone since the early 1980s, when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers’ misfortunes.這句話(huà)是重點(diǎn),因?yàn)轭}干有很明顯的定位詞”1980s” 句法分析: 句子主干:
Or so the thinking has gone(since the early 1980s狀語(yǔ))這里的or = and So 用法你應(yīng)該見(jiàn)過(guò):
“確實(shí)是這樣”,表示對(duì)前面陳述事實(shí)的強(qiáng)調(diào),結(jié)構(gòu)為so+主語(yǔ)+助動(dòng)詞/情態(tài)動(dòng)詞/系動(dòng)詞
例句:Tony works very hard at all the subjects.So he does.這里的has gone 就是系動(dòng)詞= has been;The food has gone bad.= The food has been bad.所以主干變成大家能讀懂的樣子就是: And the thinking has been so since the early 1980s 從1980年代以來(lái)人們的想法就是這樣的了!(所以第四句就是答案來(lái)源句!)再來(lái)看一下這個(gè)狀語(yǔ)從句:
when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers’ misfortunes.那時(shí)候陪審團(tuán)開(kāi)始認(rèn)為(holding)更多的公司應(yīng)該為他們消費(fèi)者的不幸負(fù)責(zé)(liable for)。怎樣原文解釋的夠清楚了吧!51.What were things like in 1980s when accidents happened? [A] Customers might be relieved of their disasters through lawsuits.選擇A的同學(xué)主要是不知道relive的搭配!Relieve something 表示的是減輕…
但是relieve sb of sth 也就是sb is relieved of sth,只能表示“免除某人…;”“某人被免除…” 所以這里的A選項(xiàng)就是不對(duì)的,不可能通過(guò)一場(chǎng)訴訟就免除災(zāi)難!你以為法院是寺廟呢?還可以消災(zāi)免難?打完官司出來(lái)一看,我去,腿沒(méi)斷!!(媽的,智障!)這就是很多年詞匯的梗了!
[B] Injured customers could expect protection from the legal system.這是正確答案,受傷的顧客可以期待從法律系統(tǒng)中獲得保護(hù); 也就是第四句講的:
a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles.模糊替換!
[C] Companies would avoid being sued by providing new warnings.(公司可以通過(guò)提供新的警告來(lái)避免被起訴。)
選C的同學(xué),你要是能給我找出哪里有“提供新的警告”,以及“避免被起訴”我就把電腦吃下去,你是自己在腦子里想出來(lái)的吧!你是蔣中挺派來(lái)的?自己去一元,冷靜一下![D] Juries tended to find fault with the compensations companies promised.(陪審團(tuán)常常會(huì)挑出公司承諾賠償?shù)拿 #?/p>
這也是屬于要上天的同學(xué)選的答案,你想象力太豐富了,給你一個(gè)jury 你就能選D,在多給點(diǎn)其他的,你就要和太陽(yáng)肩并肩了!滾粗!別燙著自己!

生命起源于何處?Fiat lux et facta est lux.(Let there be light and then there is light.許多大學(xué)的座右銘源于這個(gè)拉丁文。)有了光之后呢?曾經(jīng)我們認(rèn)為原始海洋是生命的源初之地,為單細(xì)胞生物提供了能量、養(yǎng)分和庇護(hù),并進(jìn)一步催化它們發(fā)展成為更復(fù)雜的生命形式。但是這個(gè)理論有諸多漏洞。最說(shuō)不通的地方在于海洋中大量的水會(huì)快速稀釋和分散聚合生命所需的分子,這些化學(xué)物質(zhì)根本來(lái)不及相互作用,以形成細(xì)胞膜和原始的新陳代謝體系。最近分子學(xué)家對(duì)澳大利亞一處古巖石的考古發(fā)現(xiàn),為生命的起源提供了新的方向。他們認(rèn)為,生命不來(lái)自海洋,而起源于陸地上干濕交替的火山間歇泉。一方面,火山帶來(lái)的地?zé)峤o原始生命提供了“起動(dòng)資金”——能量;另一方面,分子可在干涸期的水洼中聚集和濃縮,從而進(jìn)行的必要的化學(xué)反應(yīng),生成更加復(fù)雜的分子聚合物;而豐水期的再次到來(lái)則給予了這些高分子聚合物更多機(jī)會(huì)擴(kuò)散,等到干涸期再次來(lái)臨時(shí)他們會(huì)繼續(xù)濃縮并反應(yīng),最終形成細(xì)胞膜的原形。The pools have heat to catalyze reactions, dry spells in which complex molecules called polymers can be formed from simpler units, wet spells that float these polymers around, and further drying periods that maroon them in tiny cavities where they can interact and even become concentrated in compartments of fatty acids—the prototypes of cell membranes.詞匯突破

Yet the BBC will have to change, because the broadcasting world around it is changing.The commercial TV channels — ITV and Channel 4 — were required by the Thatcher Government's Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, and cutting costs and jobs.But it is the arrival of new satellite channels — funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers' subscriptions — which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term.58.The foremost reason why the BBC has to readjust itself is no other than ________.[A] the emergence of commercial TV channels
[B] the enforcement of Broadcasting Act by the government
[C] the urgent necessity to reduce costs and jobs
[D] the challenge of new satellite channels
思路解析:
第一句:BBC不得不改變,因?yàn)槠渲車(chē)膹V播的世界在變!第二句:變化的表現(xiàn)一。(原因一)第三句:變化的表現(xiàn)二。(原因二)
現(xiàn)在問(wèn)題就來(lái)了:到底是看第二句還是看第三句呢? A選項(xiàng)和B選項(xiàng)還有C選項(xiàng)仿佛在對(duì)應(yīng)著第二句; D選項(xiàng)對(duì)應(yīng)第三句;
這個(gè)時(shí)候就要檢查你是否尊重題干了!
題干中有個(gè)很重要的定位詞: The foremost reason 這是在問(wèn)最主要的原因!所以第二句和第三句的地位是不一樣的!
第三句中:But it is the arrival of new satellite channels — funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers' subscriptions — which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term.有But,有biggest所以第三句才是主要原因啊!
所以答案只能選擇D!
同時(shí):ABC這三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都不是對(duì)第二句話(huà)的同意替換,只是看上去有點(diǎn)相似而已!即使你看不出ABC的錯(cuò)誤,那你也必須知道定位到第二句就是錯(cuò)的!當(dāng)你讀到關(guān)于癌癥研究的新聞故事時(shí),請(qǐng)記住一個(gè)健康警示:相信字里行間的希望,但別信里邊的炒作。一個(gè)好的新聞標(biāo)題醒目煽動(dòng),可迅速地“收割”大范圍的讀者注意力;然而堅(jiān)實(shí)的科學(xué)卻是長(zhǎng)期針對(duì)復(fù)雜問(wèn)題一步一步邁出的路。如果一種新的療法仍在研究過(guò)程中,那意味著真正應(yīng)用到臨床還需要很多年。雖然我們?cè)诿鎸?duì)華而不實(shí)的信息時(shí)要保持頭腦的清醒,但是仍需承認(rèn)癌癥的治療已多有突破,希望一直都在。現(xiàn)在我們知道除了傳統(tǒng)的侵入性化療之外,還有一些更智能更有效的靶向藥。比如說(shuō)一些乳腺癌細(xì)胞的存活有賴(lài)于一種叫做HER2的蛋白質(zhì),可使用抗體藥物赫塞汀進(jìn)行治療;而另一種乳腺癌細(xì)胞則依附于雌激素,可由抗雌激素它莫西芬控制。

The second half of the 20thcentury saw a collection of geniuses, warriors, entrepreneurs and visionarieslabour to create a fabulous machine that could function as a typewriter and printing press, studio and theatre, paintbrush and gallery, piano and radio,the mail as well as the mail carrier.Not only did they develop such a devicebut by the turn of the millennium they had also managed to embed it in a worldwide system accessed by billions of people every day.The networked computer is an amazing device, the first media machine that serves as the mode of production, means of distribution, site of reception, and place of praise and critique.The computer is the 21st century's culture machine.But for all the reasons there are to celebrate the computer, we must also act with caution.This is because the networked computer has sparked a secret war between downloading anduploading— between passive consumption and active creation — whose outcome willshape our collective future in ways we can only begin to imagine.I call it a secret war for tworeasons.First, most people do not realise that there are strong commercial agendas at work to keep them in passive consumption mode.Second, the majority of people who use networked computers to upload are not even aware of the significance of what they are doing.All animals download, but only a few upload.Beavers build dams and birds make nests.Yet for the most part, the animal kingdom moves through the world downloading.Humans are unique intheir capacity to not only make tools but then turn around and use them to create superfluous material goods — paintings, sculpture and architecture — and superfluous experiences — music, literature, religion and philosophy.Of course, it is precisely these superfluous things that define human culture andultimately what it is to be human.Downloading and consuming culture requiresgreat skills, but failing to move beyond downloading is to strip oneself of adefining constituent of humanity.For all the possibilities of our new culture machines, most people are still stuck in download mode.Even after the advent of widespread social media, a pyramid of production remains,with a small number of people uploading material, a slightly larger group commenting on or modifying that content, and a huge percentage remain ingcontent to just consume.One reason for the persistence of this pyramid of production is that for the past half-century, much of the world's media culture has been defined by a single medium — television — and television is defined bydownloading.Television is a one-way tap flowing into our homes.The hardest task that television asks of anyone is to turn the power off after he has turned it on.The networked computer offers thefirst chance in 50 years to reverse the flow, to encourage thoughtful downloading and, even more importantly, meaningful uploading.What counts as meaningfuluploading? My definition revolves around the concept of “stickiness”—creations and experiences to which others adhere.Applications like tumblr.com, whichallow users to combine pictures, words and other media in creative ways and then share them, have
the potential to add stickiness by amusing, entertaining and enlightening others.1.According to the second paragraph, which of the following is true? [A]The networked computer overturned the traditional culture.[B]The online services wage a war against the creation.[C]The conflict between downloading and uploading makes the computer the culture machine.[D]The online shopping should be categorized as the mode of downloading.2.Bysaying “All animals download, but only a few upload.”, the author indicatesthat_______.[A]computer skills can be acquired by certain animals [B]it is difficult for animals to build homes [C]animals are different from humans in using digital means [D]the innovative activities set boundaries between humans and other species
3.The word “pyramid” mentioned in paragraph 5 means_______.[A]a marvelous human construction [B]the widespread access to the internet [C]the scarcity of creative minds [D]the prevalence of innovative thoughts
4.The author’s attitude towards networked computer is _______.[A]sympathy [B]objectiveness
[C]objection
[D]bias
5.Toassure the meaningful uploading, one must_______.[A]increase the entertainment value [B]take advantage of the media [C]combine useful materials [D]focus on the quality that interests people

In this world of change and complexity, the need for information is of greatest importance.Those people who have accurate, reliable up-to-date information to solve the day-to-day problems, the critical problems of their business, social and family life, will survive and succeed.“Knowledge is power” may well be the truest saying and access to information may be the most critical requirement of all people.62.We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.[A] it is necessary to obtain as much knowledge as possible
[B] people should make the best use of the information accessible

題型識(shí)別:推理題(記住推理題本質(zhì)就是細(xì)節(jié)題,只是需要用選項(xiàng)的定位詞定位而已;)題干定位:最后一段
思路解析:記住推理題本質(zhì)就是細(xì)節(jié)題,只是需要用選項(xiàng)的定位詞定位而已;
四個(gè)選項(xiàng)分別和原文比對(duì)。
選項(xiàng)分析:[A] it is necessary to obtain as much knowledge as possible
文中強(qiáng)調(diào)的是擁有準(zhǔn)確可靠及時(shí)的信息,而不是強(qiáng)調(diào)信息的數(shù)量;排除
[C] we should realize the importance of accumulating information 文中強(qiáng)調(diào)了信息的及時(shí)準(zhǔn)確而不是僅僅的積累信息,選項(xiàng)過(guò)于片面;排除
(再說(shuō)一句,如果沒(méi)有D,你選C也是可以的,但是有了D,D就是最佳答
案!)
[B] people should make the best use of the information accessible
人們應(yīng)該最好的利用可獲得的信息;
文中強(qiáng)調(diào)的去獲取信息,而不是利用信息;偷換概念
[D] it is of vital importance to acquire needed information efficiently
這個(gè)選項(xiàng)中的:needed替換第一句
Effciently替換第二句 為正確選項(xiàng)。
同學(xué)們可以好好的體會(huì)一下,出題人真的是下了一番功夫的!這就是我要求大家只做真題的原因,你得習(xí)慣出題人的說(shuō)話(huà)方式!
今天的題目: A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous, and helpful most Americans were to them.To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American.There are, of course, exceptions.Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US.Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.55.In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, ________.[A] rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US[B] small-minded officials deserve a serious comment [C] Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors[D] most Americans are ready to offer help 幾年前看了部日本電影《那年夏天寧?kù)o的海》,情節(jié)我倒是影響不深刻,但是名字一直記得,好聽(tīng)。今天來(lái)說(shuō)說(shuō)愛(ài)爾蘭的那片沙灘吧。愛(ài)爾蘭沿岸最大的島嶼阿基爾島Dooagh村出現(xiàn)了一件奇怪的事。早在三十年前就因暴風(fēng)雨被沖走的海灘(washed away by storms)復(fù)活節(jié)期間竟然在一次潮汐后重新出現(xiàn)。成百?lài)嵉纳匙与S著海浪(transport sand in)留在了本已全是石頭和石坑的區(qū)域,再現(xiàn)了1984年前的黃金海灘盛景。居民對(duì)此十分高興(delighted to have the beach back),因?yàn)楹┛梢詭?lái)更多的游客,提升當(dāng)?shù)氐拿裆_@座小島地處偏僻,目前依靠名人故居和作家勝地發(fā)展旅游業(yè)(1972年獲得諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)的海因里希?伯爾曾在該島居住過(guò))。
今天的句子:But after a freak tide around Easter this year, hundreds of tonnes of sand were deposited around the area where the beach once stood, recreating the old 300-metre stretch of golden sand.詞匯突破:1.Freak 奇怪的2.Easter 復(fù)活節(jié)3.Deposit 沉積4.Recreate 重新創(chuàng)造5.Stretch 一片地域或水域
確定主干:hundreds of tonnes of sand were deposited around the area 切分成分+獨(dú)立成句:
1.after a freak tide around Easter this year 狀語(yǔ) 2.where the beach once stood
3.recreating the old 300-metre stretch of golden sand.=This recreates the old 300-metre stretch of golden sand.(This 指代對(duì)象是前面的整個(gè)句子。)參考譯文:但今年復(fù)活節(jié)期間一次奇怪的潮汐之后,成百?lài)嵉纳匙颖怀练e在原來(lái)海灘所處的區(qū)域,再現(xiàn)了昔日長(zhǎng)達(dá)300米的黃金海灘。
昨天的解析:
A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous, and helpful most Americans were to them.To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American.There are, of course, exceptions.Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US.Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.去美國(guó)訪(fǎng)問(wèn)的人經(jīng)常帶回報(bào)告說(shuō),大多數(shù)美國(guó)人對(duì)他們友善、好客、樂(lè)于助人。公正的說(shuō),人們對(duì)加拿大人也有這樣的評(píng)論,因而,應(yīng)當(dāng)認(rèn)為這是北美普遍的現(xiàn)象。當(dāng)然也有例外。在美國(guó),心胸狹隘的官員,舉止粗魯?shù)恼写秃翢o(wú)禮貌的出租車(chē)司機(jī)也并非罕見(jiàn)。盡管有不如意的地方,但因?yàn)槿藗兂35贸雒绹?guó)人好客的觀(guān)察意見(jiàn),因而也就值得議論一番了。
55.In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, ________.[A] rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US
[B] small-minded officials deserve a serious comment
[C] Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors
[D] most Americans are ready to offer help 題型識(shí)別:細(xì)節(jié)題;
題干定位:根據(jù)visitors from the outside world可以定位到第一句;(定位錯(cuò)誤
的同學(xué),自己去面壁!)
思路解析:常規(guī)的細(xì)節(jié)題解題思路,返回原文找到包含題干定位詞的句子,這
個(gè)句子就是線(xiàn)索句!(有資格和選項(xiàng)發(fā)生關(guān)系的句子。)選項(xiàng)分析:[A] rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US
Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are
hardly unknown in the US.和原文表述矛盾,可以排除;
[B] small-minded officials deserve a serious comment
文中沒(méi)有提及
[C] Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors
this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians
和文中此句矛盾可以排除

第一句的同意替換,入選!
這是一道特別典型的細(xì)節(jié)題:)今天的句子:
如今傳統(tǒng)行業(yè)的經(jīng)濟(jì)表現(xiàn)幾乎無(wú)法吸引大眾的目光,能帶來(lái)轟動(dòng)效應(yīng)的總是快速增長(zhǎng)的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)企業(yè),例如亞馬遜。但今年國(guó)際紙業(yè)公司上漲的現(xiàn)金流和穩(wěn)定攀升的分紅,讓投資者不得不關(guān)注這家生產(chǎn)包裝材料和紙類(lèi)產(chǎn)品的傳統(tǒng)企業(yè)。這家公司的年終股息在過(guò)去5年內(nèi)平均增長(zhǎng)12%,股票收益率高達(dá)3.5。國(guó)際紙業(yè)是全球最大的硬紙板和瓦楞包裝生產(chǎn)商,北美每3個(gè)紙箱就有一個(gè)來(lái)自國(guó)際紙業(yè)。值得注意的整個(gè)造紙行業(yè)市場(chǎng)容量并沒(méi)有顯著的增長(zhǎng),反而有許多中小型企業(yè)在之前以低價(jià)換銷(xiāo)量的惡性競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中敗下陣來(lái)。這使得國(guó)際紙業(yè)和另外四家主要競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者可以控制70%的市場(chǎng)份額,更合理地制定價(jià)格、保證利潤(rùn)。同時(shí)電商平臺(tái)的蓬勃發(fā)展也給了紙業(yè)巨頭一些機(jī)遇,瘋狂的節(jié)日網(wǎng)購(gòu)緩解了第四季度例來(lái)的冷清,令現(xiàn)金流在整個(gè)商業(yè)周期都十分充裕。
E-commerce is also a contributor to rising demand, as supermarkets and other retail sectors increasingly embrace the trend, says Will Mies, editorial director of RISI, a research firm that tracks forest products.And while none of the three big box makers release numbers on sales related to e-commerce, IP estimates its shipments to Amazon and its ilk are growing at a double-digit pace.詞匯突破:
1.contributor促成者(因素)2.embrace擁抱 3.track追蹤 4.release公布 5.estimate估測(cè)
6.shipment裝貨;裝載的貨物 7.ilk親屬;一類(lèi)
第一句話(huà) 確定主干:
E-commerce is also a contributor to rising demand, says Will Mies.切分成分:
1.as supermarkets and other retail sectors increasingly embrace the trend 伴隨狀語(yǔ)從句
2.editorial director of RISI 同位語(yǔ) 3.a research firm 同位語(yǔ)
4.that tracks forest products 定語(yǔ)從句
第二句話(huà) 確定主干:
And IP estimates(that)? 切分成分:
1.while none of the three big box makers release numbers on sales related to e-commerce 讓步狀語(yǔ)從句
2.that its shipments to Amazon and its ilk are growing at a double-digit pace 賓語(yǔ)從句
參考譯文:銳思林(一家關(guān)注林業(yè)制品動(dòng)向的研究公司)的編輯總監(jiān)Will Mies說(shuō),隨著超市和其他零售行業(yè)越來(lái)越順應(yīng)趨勢(shì),電子商務(wù)也成為需求上漲的一個(gè)促成因素。雖然三大紙箱制造商均未發(fā)布過(guò)關(guān)于電子商務(wù)的數(shù)字,國(guó)際紙業(yè)公司估計(jì)其發(fā)給亞馬遜等電商的貨物維持著2位數(shù)的增速。

何凱文:2012考研英語(yǔ)大綱解析之作文篇
——“模”和“版”的分離,作文最后的救贖
如果在前文(2012考研英語(yǔ)大綱解析之閱讀篇)當(dāng)中,我們所談到的閱讀部分體現(xiàn)出考研考試選拔性和水平型考試的特征的話(huà),那么在寫(xiě)作方面就是純粹的對(duì)于考生英語(yǔ)表達(dá)能力的考察了。2012考研英語(yǔ)大綱在作文部分實(shí)際很簡(jiǎn)單,就大作文而言就是:考生根據(jù)提示信息寫(xiě)出一篇160-200字的短文(標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)不計(jì)算在內(nèi))。提示信息的形式有主題句,寫(xiě)作提綱,規(guī)定情景,圖,表等。考生在答題卡2上作答。總分20分。這樣的大綱其實(shí)和高考英語(yǔ)的大綱及其一致。就是考查學(xué)生的書(shū)面表達(dá)能力。
考試的寫(xiě)作都是一種control writing 和新概念作文大賽是有很大區(qū)別的,韓寒他們玩的是creative writing.既然是控制型的寫(xiě)作,其實(shí)命題人就只希望考生是否具備英語(yǔ)的書(shū)面表達(dá)能力。因此在內(nèi)容上希望看到和話(huà)題一致的文章,在形式上出題人也做到了盡量明確的限定為三段論。這樣一來(lái),決定考生分?jǐn)?shù)高低的決定性因素就是語(yǔ)言了。不過(guò)從實(shí)際的操作來(lái)看,部分考生在內(nèi)容和形式上也會(huì)有一定的困境。下面我就以實(shí)戰(zhàn)的模和版來(lái)和大家一起實(shí)現(xiàn)內(nèi)容,形式和語(yǔ)言的提高。
第一步:仔細(xì)審題,往正確的方向說(shuō)。
最近的十年間考試的提示信息都是以圖畫(huà)的形式給出的,因此第一步就是審題即找出圖畫(huà)作者想表達(dá)的話(huà)題。這個(gè)過(guò)程考生盡量的做到:內(nèi)容趨同最保險(xiǎn)。不要在確定話(huà)題的時(shí)候企圖與眾不同,陽(yáng)光下沒(méi)有新鮮事,你能想的到的話(huà)題實(shí)際很多考生都想到了,沒(méi)有什么新意可言。所以話(huà)題最好就寫(xiě)你腦海中浮現(xiàn)的第一個(gè)話(huà)題就好了。這樣可以避免跑題。并且進(jìn)入2005年之后,每年跑題的時(shí)候很少了,因?yàn)閷忣}的過(guò)程已經(jīng)由圖畫(huà)下的漢字來(lái)完成了。“養(yǎng)老足球賽”,“網(wǎng)絡(luò)的遠(yuǎn)與近”,“文化火鍋:美味又營(yíng)養(yǎng)”。有了這些漢字的限定和求同的思想我想同學(xué)們?cè)趯忣}方面應(yīng)該沒(méi)有太大問(wèn)題了。
第二步:定闡述方向,有話(huà)可說(shuō)(模)
考研作文第一段都是要求對(duì)圖畫(huà)的描述,開(kāi)頭相對(duì)固定化,中間視圖畫(huà)而定。但是考生可以套用完全倒裝句型及主系表倒為表系主,這樣考生只需要一句話(huà)就可以把圖畫(huà)描述完畢:02年為例:找到圖中的中心人物美國(guó)姑娘主句就可以搭建起來(lái):
In the sunshine stands a pretty American girl.接著對(duì)girl進(jìn)行描述,可以用到非限定性定語(yǔ)從句,分詞短語(yǔ),介詞短語(yǔ),如果這個(gè)中心事物周?chē)衅渌娜撕臀镞€可以用獨(dú)立主格。
In the sunshine stands a pretty American girl, who is in the Chinese traditional costume, wearing necklace, earrings and its like, with a broad sweat smile on her face.這樣就可以如法炮制2010的圖畫(huà)了:
In the picture above stands a hot pot, a traditional Chinese cooker , containing a lot of names of great figures from both western and eastern cultural backgrounds, such as Shakespeare , Confucius and his like ,with a line going like this : cultural hot pot-delicious and nutritious.同學(xué)們都可以仿造這樣的句型寫(xiě)出很漂亮的圖畫(huà)描述句了。
二段開(kāi)頭就應(yīng)該擺出論點(diǎn):
我們面對(duì)的話(huà)題無(wú)非就是好的話(huà)題好壞的話(huà)題,不好不壞的話(huà)題我們也盡量的決定寫(xiě)其中的一面就可以了。這樣我們的論點(diǎn)就可以固定了。人們對(duì)于好的話(huà)題都是重視的,對(duì)于不好的話(huà)題都是忽視的。
我們就只需要積累關(guān)于:好,壞,重視,忽視的英語(yǔ)表達(dá)就可以了。這樣的積累是在我們的課程中反復(fù)談到過(guò)的。我也總結(jié)出了很經(jīng)典的表達(dá)。接下來(lái)就是整個(gè)文章最為重要的部分了,該從若干個(gè)方面來(lái)思考如何展開(kāi)這個(gè)話(huà)題了。根據(jù)多年的教學(xué),我們已經(jīng)總結(jié)出了12個(gè)萬(wàn)能思考的角度他們分別是:物質(zhì),時(shí)間,效率,交流,安全,方便,環(huán)境,健康,情感,性格,經(jīng)驗(yàn),成功。所有話(huà)題都可以從這些角度中找出三到四種來(lái)展開(kāi)。這樣一來(lái)我們的任務(wù)就是去積累關(guān)于這12個(gè)話(huà)題的優(yōu)秀表達(dá)。
第三段基本就是很固定的寫(xiě)作了,好的就去弘揚(yáng),壞的就去解決。這就是我們的寫(xiě)作模板中的“模”,這是可以固化的。
第三步:多樣化表達(dá),語(yǔ)言是關(guān)鍵。(板)
比較下面的兩種表達(dá):
1..As is symbolically conveyed in the vivid drawing above, the flower is so open.2.In the picture above, the flower is blooming in the green house.這兩句話(huà)那句話(huà)拿分高,考生同學(xué)應(yīng)該很清楚了。第一句就是把板給死板化了,模可以固定,但是板應(yīng)該多樣。所以在準(zhǔn)備12個(gè)話(huà)題的時(shí)候我就給同學(xué)們準(zhǔn)備了這樣的表達(dá):比如說(shuō)浪費(fèi)時(shí)間,同學(xué)們通常說(shuō)的是:waste time 但是我們可以這樣說(shuō)的:Squander hours , lavish days , and even waste years.這
樣的表達(dá)才是真的能打動(dòng)老師的,而不是僅僅靠一些陳詞濫調(diào)(cliché).健康方面我們可以背一些常見(jiàn)的疾病名字:Heart disease ,high blood pressure, diabetes ,fattiness(obesity)。物質(zhì)方面可以具體化:Delicious food, fashionable clothes, comfortable dwelling, fabulous/handsome cars.連接三個(gè)以上的名詞我們不用a,b,c and d 而用:not only A ,but also B, and such benefits(problems)as C and D.這樣我們就能寫(xiě)出這樣的好句子了:體育鍛煉能防治心臟病,高血壓,糖尿病和肥胖癥。
Physical exercise can safeguard not only Heart disease ,but also high blood pressure and such problems as diabetes and fattiness(obesity).各位考生朋友,這就是模板的真諦,模是模,板是板。這就是為什么我的學(xué)生在上了12個(gè)小時(shí)的寫(xiě)作課后就能寫(xiě)出15分以上的文章的原因所在。因?yàn)椋覀兞私饬丝佳袑?xiě)作的實(shí)質(zhì)就是對(duì)于某些表達(dá)的積累,我們提前積累了,分?jǐn)?shù)當(dāng)然能在最短的時(shí)間中獲得最大的提高。所以同學(xué)們一定要在強(qiáng)化和沖刺階段按照我的作文思路進(jìn)行積累。我相信同學(xué)們一定能在作文部分獲得一個(gè)非常好的成績(jī),在我所編寫(xiě)的《考研英語(yǔ)作文高分攻略》一書(shū)中對(duì)于這種寫(xiě)作思想有非常詳細(xì)的闡述。最后祝愿各位考生考研成功!
