Passage 1
The Role of Migrant Workers
(農(nóng)民工的作用)
Currently, an increasing number of people realize that migrant workers, who are an indispensible part of our work force, make a great contribution to the prosperity of cities.Specifically, there is no doubt that, on construction sites, without migrant workers many of the construction projects would have to be held up.Apart from that, the large number of migrant workers is a factor which stimulates the consumption of daily items.While placing great emphasis on the positive impacts of these migrant workers, we are not to ignore troubles facing them.To begin with, these migrants have trouble getting their
children into child care centers and schools because they are unregistered residents in the city.As you know, illiterate people, who are usually ignorant of lays, tend to make troubles concerning law and order.Additionally, most of the migrant workers swarm into cities merely for money, some of whom would stop at nothing to get what they want and become a potential threat to the peace and stability of society.Taking into account of all these influences, I can safely come to the conclusion that while we are appreciating their great contribution, we are supposed to pay enough attention to the problems caused by them.In sum, in the appraisal of migrant workers, it is one-side to affirm or to negate everything.4. 綜合(現(xiàn)象闡釋 + 觀點對比 + 原因分析 + 個人見解)
Passage 1
My View on Examinations
1.有很多大學以考試來衡量學生的學習效果;
2.考試可能帶來的副作用;
3.我對考試的看法。
Traditionally, in most colleges and universities, examinations are adopted as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject.Specifically, it is not surprising to see students burn the candle at both ends to get prepared for their final examinations at the end of each semester.Apparently, examinations function positively to urge students working diligently.Actually, when attaching great emphasis on examinations, we are not to ignore the side effects.To begin with, examinations lower the standard of teaching, because teachers tend to train their students merely in exam techniques as they are judged by examination results.Apart from that, the prevalence of examinations will definitely encourage undesirable study habits.As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.Taking into account all these factors, I can safely come to the conclusion that few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to students’ academic development.If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?
第二篇:四級考試技巧總結
聽力
一.應試技巧
以WHAT為提問詞引導的問句 1.問”什么含義” What does the man imply? What does the woman’s answer suggest? What does the woman say about..(共出現(xiàn)32次)2.問”從對話中能獲得什么信息或結論” What can we learn/know about the man? What do we know from the woman’s reply? What can be inferred about…(共出現(xiàn)37次)3.問”做什么”
What does the man promise to do?(共出現(xiàn)14次)4.問”對某人或某事有什么看法’
How does the man feel about…(出現(xiàn)4次)小結:在短對話部分,考查最多的是WHAT類的提問,其中細節(jié)的考查相對較少,推斷型的相對較多一些.二:常見考題類型 1原因與結果題
特征:1.至少有一個選項暗示出該事實能導致某種結果,通常有好幾個選項的事實能導致同一結果 2.選項中可能出現(xiàn)can’t, not be able to, too….to, have to等詞或詞組.3.文章承上啟下的作用的信息句
a.表示文章順序與層次的句子,一般由first, second, in the end, in addition, furthermore, finally引導.b.表示意思轉(zhuǎn)折的句子,一般由but, however, on the contrary, instead, unfortunately, however, yet, although, nevertheless等詞引導
c.表示因果關系的句子,一般由because, since, for, thus, as a result等引導 2.職業(yè)與身份題
特征:大部分情況下,選擇項是有固定格式的,要么是4個不同的職業(yè),要么是4個不同身份的人 短語:a little out of the way 有點遠 三.長對話應試技巧
注意:問答形式的對話是考試重點,往往落在其答語上.并且不是每一組問答都是重點,作為考試重點的幾組問題之間的關聯(lián)性是不大的.換句話說,第一個問題考查了文章的主旨,第二個問題開始分別考查對話中所呈現(xiàn)的幾方面問題.其中每一個方面選擇一個最重要的問題來考查.并且部分長對話還秉承了短文理解的一個重要的考查方式,就是在對話的開頭部分一定會出題目 方法:1.話題與場景的判斷----第一句話中的核心詞匯揭示答案
在長對話中,寒暄過后的第一句話一般起到引出話題的作用,很可能是對話的主題所在,也是回答主旨,話題以及場景題的依據(jù),正確的答案往往是核心詞匯的重現(xiàn),同義詞,或者是由該單詞所得出的自然的推論.2.細節(jié)題---聽到什么選什么
與短對話的區(qū)別就在于,短對話中一般采用的原則是聽到什么就不選什么,而長對話恰恰相反,它考查的重點是那些含有實際意義的問答內(nèi)容,尤其是特殊疑問句 3.根據(jù)結尾處的核心詞匯鎖定答案
長對話中一個出題規(guī)律就是在結尾處,針對將要做什么.或者提出什么建議進行提問.因此答題的關鍵就在于鎖定結尾處的核心詞 四.場景分析
1.教務場景
解題思路:教務人員描述各項事務的細節(jié)問題,時間,地點,計劃推遲或變更的原因等往往是考查的重點 2.選課場景
解題思路:學生覺得課程太難,負荷太重 3.補課場景
解題思路:場景人物一般是同學之間的補課,在補課過程中,一方會有一些問題,而另外一方將一一給予澄清 4.論文場景
解題思路:場景人物一般是教授與學生,或者學生之間進行討論.論文的題目難以確定,資料太難找,題目太偏,查不到資料,題目太大,要找的資料太多,太雜.5.體育場景
解題思路:目的不在于比賽,而是好玩,健身,交友.一些運動,如CYCLING,往往是以TEAM,CLUB或者ASSOCIATION的形式存在的 6.租房場景
解題思路:學生一般傾向與找價格地的房子,所以房子的條件一般比較差.經(jīng)常會出現(xiàn)一些毛病,由于房子緊張.找房子,租房子的過程往往很不容易 7.吃飯場景
解題思路:往往在吃飯過程中,遇到等待時間過長,飯菜不如意等提出投訴,得到賠償?shù)?8.工作相關類
解題思路:應聘者介紹自己的情況,如:教育背景,特長等,聘方人員一般要介紹工作的性質(zhì),工資待遇以及上下班時間
9.采訪座談類
解題思路:被訪者在某一方面或幾方面比較成功,訪問者就其某一方面的成就提出問題.并由被訪問者談體會或經(jīng)驗,提出以后的計劃等.應試技巧:注意重復的詞語,他們通常會給你一些線索,還會幫助你回憶你在題目中聽過的名稱,注意各個選項中的不同點,注意一些不同的名字,地點,以及不同的動詞 五:命題研究
方法:注意集中精力聽好短文開頭.因為4級喜歡把中心置于文章的開頭.文中反復出現(xiàn)同一單詞或同一類單詞,也值得注意,包含與這類單詞的選項能較好的體現(xiàn)中心,通常是正確答案.文中一旦出現(xiàn)以因果連詞(because, so, due to,等)和轉(zhuǎn)折連詞(如but, however, though等)引導的句子也要格外留心,這些地方往往是考點.抓數(shù)字時間
1.出現(xiàn)年代,時間,數(shù)字中的任何一種,文章中的數(shù)字時間肯定是考試重點 2.文章中出現(xiàn)2個以上的數(shù)字時間,該句肯定含有答案 3.數(shù)字時間定位包括年代定位和過去現(xiàn)在對比定位2種形式
4.數(shù)字時間和比較級最高級組合在一起的時候,或是數(shù)字時間出現(xiàn)在文章的開始和結束時,答案肯定在附近.注意:推理判斷題的問法有:What does the speaker most concerned about? 六.復合式聽寫應試技巧
特點:名詞的單復數(shù)問題一直是復合式聽寫考查名詞的一個重點
方法:第一遍:全文朗讀,填空處無停頓,以聽為主,借助文字材料理解和把握全篇內(nèi)容和脈絡,:順便填寫有把握的單詞,記一點筆記
第二遍:盡量記住所聽的句子的各個意群,并快速記下.第三遍:著重彌補為聽清的部分,并檢查有無錯誤,要寫完整的句子,而不是單個詞或短語
注意:1.某個單詞為聽清,或拼寫不出,沒有把握,可換詞或改變表達方式.要盡量忠實的表達文章的意思而不
出現(xiàn)語言錯誤.句子較長而無法準確抓住每個詞,應力爭聽懂句意,記下要點和關鍵詞語,然后試著用自己的話表達,關鍵詞一般為實詞,如名詞,動詞,形容詞,副詞等.2.轉(zhuǎn)折引起的作者態(tài)度及談論重點的變化
回答通常是:Sounds great, Sounds a lot of fun, but…..3.尾詞對于解題起著很大的干擾作用,答題時應多加小心 聽力的提問方式的常見4種類型 1.主題思想題
例如:what is the best title for this passage? 方法:聽好短文的開頭和文中反復出現(xiàn)的同一詞匯或同一類詞匯,因為包含這類詞匯的選項能較好的體現(xiàn)中心思想,其通常為正確答案。2.事實細節(jié)題
考查細節(jié)包括:具體時間,地點,主要人物或事件,各種數(shù)字等。
方法:出現(xiàn)時間,數(shù)字時要特別敏感,因果連詞(because, so, due to等)和轉(zhuǎn)折連詞(如but, however, though等)引導的句子也要格外注意。3.對錯判斷題
一般情況下,not一詞會重讀。4.推理推測題
例如:what does the speaker most concerned about? 方法:要注意與短文內(nèi)容一樣的不是推斷,而且一定要根據(jù)短文的觀點而不是根據(jù)自己的觀點來推斷。聽力組成部分
第一部分:8個小對話,2個長對話.每個長對話后有3-4個題.第二部分:3篇小文章.第三部分:復合式聽寫
方法: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,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,短文對話的第一題的4個選項在播音前6秒看還來得及.注意:聽力測試3個Section前沒有指令,直接播放題目
Section A長對話部分:重點一般都是在問答的答語上,通常,出題的順序和文章的一致
Section B短文部分:抓住文章的開頭和結尾,文章出現(xiàn)的時間,數(shù)字,地點信息,原因和轉(zhuǎn)折句特別容易考到.Section C以聽為主,以記為輔.遇到一些冠詞,助動詞時可先省略不記,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,或者較長的單詞只記前3個字母等.聽力常考十大場景:學習,天氣,醫(yī)院,打工,租房,娛樂,餐館,選課,論文,圖書館場景.快速閱讀
方法:先略讀,目的在于快速了解文章的中心思想.首先看下標題,接著讀第一段,抓住中心思想,在瀏覽一下其他段落的首句和末句.最后讀完結尾段.接著進行尋讀,重點在于有目標的去找出文中某些特定的信息.注意:1.快速閱讀如果沒有小標題,就需要快速瀏覽第一段的第一句話和最后一句話,以及后面每個段落的第一句來了解文章主要內(nèi)容.2.命題點包括:時間.人物,地點,因果關系,比較關系,條件關系,目的,方式等.3.時間關系的詞或者短語:meanwhile, prior to等 目的關系的詞或者短語:so as to等
方式,條件關系的詞或者短語:through, though等
比較關系的詞或者短語:be like, contrary to, by contrast以及形容詞和副詞的比較級與最高級等 因果關系的詞或者短語:owing to, result from, be responsible for等
4.對于句子填空,在準確定位后,仔細對照原文與提干所缺的部分來概括組織答案,注意內(nèi)容和形式的準
確性.5.一般設置答案都為3個Y,3個N,一個NG.理解:NG題:NOT GIVEN,即文章中給予的信息不夠充分,無法作出判斷.N題:與原文信息不符,根據(jù)原文信息可以判斷出題干的表述與原文不一致,而NG是原文根本沒有相關信息的支持.(注意:作題時要判斷提干是對原文的同義替換還是透換概念,或者與原文根本不相干.)方法:常見的是非判斷標準
1.與文章主題相符的陳述,判斷一定為Y,反之一定為N,不可能為NG 2.偏離文章話題的句子,判斷為NG
3.符合常識的陳述,只能判斷其不是N,仍需要進一步判斷文章是否談及,如談及則Y,否則NG 4.不符合常識的陳述,只能判斷其不是Y,如果文章提及則是N,否則為NG 5.原文所涉及的范圍概括廣泛,題目中則將其具體化,判斷為NG 6.現(xiàn)實與觀點2者不可混合,如果原文和題目分別對應的是觀點和事實,則只能判斷為NG
篇章詞匯理解 形容詞的選擇和使用
1.在BE動詞或系動詞后,可以選擇使用形容詞做表語,即be/link v.adj.2.副詞可以修飾形容詞,如果空格前是副詞,也可以考慮空格處是否應為形容詞。
例如:however, weather experts are still not completely-----what leads to it or what affects how strong it will be.解釋:本句缺少的是ARE的表語,因為空格前有副詞completely,可排除空格處為名詞的可能性,空格處應為形容詞或動詞的分詞形式。副詞的選擇和使用
如果空格處所在的句子有完整的主語和謂語,這時應該考慮此處是否需要一個副詞,可以被用來修飾該動詞的一種程度狀態(tài)。如果空格處所在的句子結構完整(不缺少必要成分),所需的只會是定語或者狀語之類的輔助成分。例如副詞可以作為輔助成分。分詞的選擇和使用
1.過去分詞可以用作形容詞,表示其修飾的那個名詞是一種被動發(fā)生或者已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事情。2.現(xiàn)在分詞可以被用作形容詞,表示其修飾的名詞為一種主動的或者正在發(fā)生的事情。上下文語境巧記活用
1.利用篇章主題確定詞義范圍與色彩
例如:after intensive research, scientists have concluded that politicians lie.In a study described in Britain’s Observer newspaper, Glen Newey, a political scientist at Britain’s University of Strathclyde, concluded that lying is an important part of------in the modern democracy.解釋:根據(jù)上文提到的內(nèi)容與politician, political, democracy等詞,可推斷本話題是“政治”,“政治制度“等。如果詞庫提供的名詞有politics, journalists, affairs, mechanism, risk等,很明顯,與主題密切相關的應為politics.2.利用各句之間的邏輯關系確定詞義范圍與色彩 并列關系:and also, likewise, similarly 遞進關系:additionally, furthermore, moreover, in addition 因果關系:since, thus, hence, consequently, accordingly, due to, now that, such….that 轉(zhuǎn)折關系:otherwise, whereas, nevertheless, by contrast, unfortunately
讓步關系:nevertheless 條件關系:in case(of)四步解題
1.瀏覽全文,抓住中心 2.閱讀選項,詞性分類
例如:動詞:participate, illustrate, donate捐獻 reject拒絕,反對,否定
droop枯萎,低垂 hie匆忙趕去 count有重要性,有價值,計算 glow發(fā)熱,高興,熱情洋溢(名詞時)喜悅,滿足的心情 touchstone試金石,標準 calm使平靜,使鎮(zhèn)定(名詞時)平靜,鎮(zhèn)定(形容詞時)平靜的,鎮(zhèn)定的 exist存在,生存 estimate估計 strike打擊 notify通知 retail零售 generate產(chǎn)生 insult冒犯,侮辱 purchase購買
形容詞:financial, productive生產(chǎn)的,多產(chǎn)的 credible可信的,可靠的 controversial有爭議的,愛爭論的 tight緊的 astonished驚訝的(動詞時)使…驚訝 sufficient充分的 ingenious機靈的,巧妙的,有創(chuàng)造性的 difficult tropical完全的 stable穩(wěn)定的 destructive破壞性的 extreme極度的,最高的 affordable買得起的 voluntary自愿的 excessive過多的,過分的
副詞:reluctantly不情愿的 completely完全的 deliberately故意的 technically技術上的 really真正的 primarily首要的,主要的
名詞:potential潛能,能力(形容詞時)可能的,潛在的 individual個人,個體(形容詞時)個人的,獨自的,個體的 intellectual知識分子,(形容詞時)智力的,理性的 florist花商,花店 replacement替換,替代品 privilege特權 store商店 manners禮貌,風格,方式,方法 figures數(shù)字,外形,外貌,人物(尤其指名人)(動詞時)描繪,塑造,表示,認為,演算 eagerness熱心熱誠 phenomenon現(xiàn)實 strength力量 starvation饑餓 exhaustion疲憊,筋疲力盡 scale尺度,天平gap差距,間隙 介詞:beyond多于…,超過
3.照應前后,靈活選擇
問題:Many older Americans find their job skills are still----once they leave the paid work force.為什么應該填入構成被動被動語態(tài)的過去分詞? 4.復讀全文,謹慎調(diào)整
方法:只要選項里有出現(xiàn)課本上的單詞或詞組,選它。
真正的有效的背單詞的辦法是從文章中,課文中,大量的閱讀中去記住單詞
注意:1名詞和動詞的一詞多義現(xiàn)象,對一個單詞只掌握一種相對呆滯的一個意思是非常影響閱讀質(zhì)量的詞匯的近義,反義詞的掌握,4級考試中正確答案往往是原文的同意改寫 形容詞和副詞的意思,以及褒貶性,這直接有利于我們判斷作者的態(tài)度及文章主旨,段落大意重點掌握住一些固定詞組搭配 對單詞字義的揣測,一般只通過單詞所在句或者前后句內(nèi)容就能猜出.完形填空
方法:1了解大意
注意:文章的開頭1,2句話都是完整信息,這些句子揭示文章的背景只是或主題思想,仔細閱讀,為后掃除障礙。
2.初選答案
注意:1.various 各種各樣的 incredible難以置信的 assignment作業(yè) bring about導致,帶來 dubious= doubtful(有貶義,否定語氣的)heat加熱 charge收費
2.Take advantage of sth.=make sure of sth.3.完形中的同性元素是指具有相同的含義,同樣的語法功能以及一致用法的兩個或多個選項。選項中一旦出現(xiàn)同性元素,他們必定不是正確答案。
3.尋找線索
注意:完形填空不同于句子與結構,必須要從整篇文章入手。
4.回頭補缺
5.核實答案
補充:1.run out of film膠卷用完了,其中photo,film同意交換。
2.get the hangof it=not give up
3.I don’t care much for desert=doesn’t appeal
4.聽力的答案聽到的越多,錯誤的可能性越大,即答案太具體,易做錯答案,概括的籠統(tǒng)的愛做正確答案。
5.聽力中當女生請男生幫助時,男生要學習時就沒法幫助女生,學習最重要。
6.聽力對話中的最后一個詞常作錯誤答案的陷阱。
7.on behalf of=you’ve come in his place(聯(lián)系原文,意思相同)。
8.對話所述事情總是向不好的方向發(fā)展。
要求:1.重視首句,把握開篇 2.速讀全文,掌握大意 3瞻前顧后,靈活答題
閱讀理解
1.事實細節(jié)題
注意:每年必考地方是列舉處,有first, second, in addition..的地方,還有舉例和打比方的地方,即有as, such, for instance 等出現(xiàn)的地方
應考規(guī)律:1.選項中照抄或者似乎抄原文的一般不是答案,而同義詞替換的是正確答案。
2.選項中表達意義較為具體,也就是句子較長的一般不是答案,而概括性的抽象的是答案。較全面、有針對性地表達文章中心思想的,選項一般是答案項。
3.選項中有絕對語氣詞的比如:must, never, merely, always, the most, all, only, have to, any, no, very completely, none, hardly等不是答案,而不十分肯定語氣詞的是正確答案,比如could, might, possible , can, may, should, usually, most(大多數(shù)),more or less, relatively, be likely to, whether or, not necessarily, often 等。
4.選項中表達意義較具體的、膚淺的(字面意思)一般不是答案項,而概括性的、抽象的、含義深刻的是答案項。
5.選項中較符合常識的,易明白的一般不是選項;而似乎不太合理,一時較難理解的往往是正確選項。例如:nevitable 一詞,語氣太絕對化。此外,在作者態(tài)度題中,象中立態(tài)度(neutral)一般不是選項。在四個選項中,忽然有一個選項特別長或特別短,則此選項往往是正確選項。在兩個選項中,如果除個別字外,其他部分完全一樣,其中往往有一個是正確選項。“None of the above”往往是用作干擾項。
6.抓住文章的主題,然后根據(jù)題干中的中心詞迅速返回原文定位到一句話或者是這話的前后那2句,最后根據(jù)同義改寫的原則,選出正確答案.2.推理判斷題
方法:1.選項中采用試探性,不十分絕對語氣詞的比如tend to, offten一般是答案。
2.符合常識邏輯的一般是答案。3.各類題型干擾項特點
觀點態(tài)度題正確選項要么是肯定、贊揚、褒義性的(如positive, support, useful, interesting, admiring等)要么是否定、批評、貶義性的(如disgust, critical, negative, disappointment等)而又以否定、貶義性居多。所以此類題型中的中性詞(如indifferent, ambivalent, neutral, humor, disinterested, impassive)一般均為干擾項。4.作題理想步驟
瀏覽—帶著題干略讀全文—摸清問題位置—開始答題
針對主旨大意題只讀段首,段尾句.作文
1.亮點句型和詞匯
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 4.more and more=an increasing number of/a growing number of More and more important = increasingly important
2.適當使用被動來代替主動,更能客觀的反映事實.句子開頭不能總用I, my.不用we should take effective measures to….而用Effective measures should be taken to… 3.善于使用連接詞或者插入語,例如:however, therefore, for example等.Some hold the opinion that..換成Other individuals, however, take the attitude that… 主要規(guī)律
1.不考熱點問題,比如今年的大地震,奧運會
2.以議論文為主,基本結構:第一段:描述某種現(xiàn)象 第二段:說一下好處壞處 第三段:你的看法
3.寫一個announcement 描述一個假設的事件,書信(只考過一次,這個基本不用準備)4.08英語考試存在2種可能:議論文,announcement 重點準備寫一個announcement 例如:假如你今年被選為優(yōu)秀學生代表,要在教師節(jié)之際在大會上做一個發(fā)言,屬于一篇應用文寫作.Ladies and Gentleman,F(xiàn)irst of all, please allow me to express the most heartfelt gratitude to all of our teachers.Because of your hardships in teaching, we can have such good grades.Teachers mold the lives that they influence.Lessons learned from teachers remain with their students throughout life.Teachers that break down barriers and reach into the souls of the students that they are responsible for do not get the recognition or gratitude they have earned.Many teachers are exhausted from their workload and responsibilities.They have their own families, financial and life stresses that challenge them along with everyone else.We should always respect our teachers.Our teachers told us that gratitude is a fruit of long cultivation.Our teachers made us what you are today and what you will be in future.Our teachers will certainly influence the whole life of all of us.All the efforts made by our teachers will encourage us to move on even more.翻譯
方法:1.確定要考察的關鍵詞,一般是由2個詞或詞組組成2.將2個英文詞或者詞組連接起來
3.結合待翻譯的文字在句子中所處的位置和功能,注意陷阱---倒裝和非謂語動詞等
例如:Not only ___________________(他向我收費過高),but he didn’t do a good repair job either.解釋:動詞“收費”的對應詞,應當是“charge”。“過高”則往往使用too high或too much, 由于主體內(nèi)容是金錢而不是溫度,我們用經(jīng)常搭配的“much”。更加巧妙的用詞是“overcharge”。“not only…but…”結構中出現(xiàn)了否定詞前置到句首的現(xiàn)象,自然是倒裝句的標志。結合后半句的一般過去時形式,我們不得不把助動詞did提煉出來,按照倒裝結構翻譯成“Not only did he charge me too much”或者“Not only
did he overcharge me”。
注意:1.根據(jù)比較結構中的倍數(shù)原則,倍數(shù)數(shù)字放在最開始,接下去有關于量的as much+n.+as 2.“把…歸因于…”翻譯為”attribute…to…” “be likely to …”表示“容易”、“可能”等意義It follows that…由此可見……
3.絕大多數(shù)的否定的句子,不能直接加“not”。
4.have助動詞的后面,動詞絕對不能用原形動詞
5.cannot…too 再..也不過分
6.一部分具有生命意義的集合名詞做主語時謂語動詞多采用復數(shù)形式,如people, poultry, militia等,用and連接的成分單一概念時謂語動詞用單數(shù),主語中含有某些連詞(如as well as, besides, in addition to等)時,謂語動詞的數(shù)同第一個主語保持一致.7.同時發(fā)生或不分先后發(fā)生的用現(xiàn)在分詞一般式或過去分詞,在主句謂語動詞之前發(fā)生的用現(xiàn)在分詞完成式,不定式完成式;發(fā)生在主句謂語動詞之后的多用不定式一般式
8.表達人物愛憎感情:lose interest in…, terrified, mad
介紹人物的影響及人們對人的評價: The people had come to love him as an inspiring leader.Lei Feng has been praised for his communist spirit.常見描述人物性格,外貌和身體狀況等的詞語:light-hearted /absent-minded / lame in / strong-tempered /bad-tempered /near-sighted /far-sighted / silly / diligent / 考查重點:動詞詞組,表示因果關系的attribute… to…。需要熟練掌握用法的還有l(wèi)ead to, result in, result from, be to blame for, be responsible for。另外,還要學會使用拼寫類似的詞組contribute to,表示“有助于,對…做出貢獻”。
四六級如何在聽不懂時,照樣拿180分以上~
四六級如何在聽不懂時,照樣拿180分以上~
教你如何分析題干選答案本文主要向大家介紹聽力短對話的宏觀方法,無論四級還是六級,聽前的充分預讀是必要的,因為只有認真的預讀才能找到選項中的規(guī)律,另外,短對話必須遵守的一個原則就是:先聽到什么不太可能是正確選項,后聽到的才可能是正確答案,沒聽到什么最有可能選擇什么!!以下以六級題為例!
第一招:相關保留原則
當選項中有兩項表達意思相近時,那么正確答案必在這兩項之中!這時只需稍微聽一聽對話,即可知答案,如果出現(xiàn)了雙重相關,便可直接確認正確選項,只需聽完對話加之認證一下即可!
典型例題:
4.A)Visiting the Browning.B)Writing a postcard.C)Looking for a postcard.D)Filling in a form.例題分析:B、C兩項均含有 a poscard,B、D兩項均含有寫...之意,即B、C和B、D構成雙重相關,即可得出B為正確選項!

4.M: What's the matter? You've been sitting there for ages, just staring into space.W: I told the Browning I'd send them a postcard.Now I don't know what to say.Q: What's the woman doing?
第二招:異項保留原則
當選項中出現(xiàn)有意思明顯相反的兩項時,那么正確答案必在此二項中出現(xiàn)!如果出現(xiàn)雙重異項,那么即可判斷出正確答案,異項保留原則在六級考試聽力短對話中應用廣泛!
典型例題:
6.A)She can’t finish her assignment, either.B)She can’t afford a computer right now.C)The man can use her computer.D)The man should buy a computer right away.例題分析:B、C異項,B項的意思是她現(xiàn)在有電腦,C項的意思則是她現(xiàn)在沒有電腦。B、D異項,B是說女方無電腦,而D是說男方無電腦,男女也是一種反意關系。所以根據(jù)雙重異項原則可確定正確答案為B項!本題聽力原文:
6.M: I'm frustrated.We're supposed to do our assignment on the computer, but I have difficulty getting access to the computers in the library.W: I understand the way you feel.I'm looking forward to the day when I can afford to get my own.Q: What does the woman mean?
第三招:女士保留原則
做題做多了,我們應該了解西方人的思維方式,當對話中出現(xiàn)女士的建議和要求時,我們一定要注意,這時女士說出來的話很可能就是正確選項的異意!因為女士經(jīng)常以女神的形象出面,她們代表的是美好、正面、陽光的信息!
典型例題:
9.A)The man should stick to what he’s doing.B)The man should take up a new hobby.C)The man should stop playing tennis.D)The man should find the cause for his failure.例題分析:通過選項我們可以分析出男人做一些事情遇到了困難,這時一位女人出來安慰男人,根據(jù)女神原則可知女人一定會讓男人堅持把這件事情做下去,而不要放棄,這樣的題型太多了,所以可呈現(xiàn)出一定的規(guī)律性!
本題聽力原文:
9.M: I think I'm going to give up playing tennis.I lost again today.W: Just because you lost? It that the reason to quit?
Q: What does the woman imply? 第四招:概括、抽象保留原則
當選項中出現(xiàn)比較概括、抽象的句子時,這時我們就要把表述事實的、具體的句子劃掉,而去選擇表概、抽象、比較性的句子!此原則可衍生出一個包含取大的原則,在作題時應用也是十分的廣泛,一般當兩個選項的意思接近時,表述比較全面的一般為正確選項!
典型例題:
7.A)The visiting economist has given several lectures.B)The guest lecturer’s opinion is different from Dr.Johnson’s.C)Dr.Johnson and the guest speaker were schoolmates.D)Dr.Johnson invited the economist to visit their college
例題分析:A、C、D均為表述事實的句子,只有B項為對比、比較的句子,較之A、C、D項更為抽象的表述了一件事情,所以B項為正確選項!
本題聽力原文:
7.M: The visiting economist is speaking tonight, but Dr.Johnson doesn't seem to think much of him.W: That's because Dr.Johnson comes from an entirely different school of thought.Q: What do we learn from the woman's remark? 第五招:態(tài)度和虛擬保留原則
這兩種方法一般無單獨命題的規(guī)律性,只是作為上述四種宏觀方法的輔助方法出現(xiàn),當只剩下兩個選項時,通常正態(tài)度的選項容易是正確答案,表虛擬的選項更容易是正確答案!
最后祝大家都能取得一個滿意的成績!
Cloze 完形填空題,就是試題中的Cloze部分,在歷來的考試中被認為是難點中的難點,十幾個空中只做對四五個的不乏其人。究其難點根源,主要還是因為完形填空需要從整體上去把握語篇,除了語法和固定搭配,它更注重考查對整篇材料的理解。而在最初閱讀整篇材料時,材料又是不完整的,很多詞被空了出來讓考生去選擇,這無疑為考生理解全篇又增加了難度。對原文理解不透徹,就為做題增加了困難。總之,整個閱讀理解的解題過程,似乎就是在“霧里看花”,而撥開迷霧找到答題關鍵,還是有規(guī)律可循的。
大學英語四級考試采用的完形填空題是:“在一篇題材熟悉、難度適中的短文(約220-250詞)內(nèi)留有20個空白,每個空白為一題,每題有四個選擇項,要求考生在全面理解內(nèi)容的基礎上選擇一個最佳答案,使短文的意思和結構恢復完整”。從歷年考題分析,完形填空的文章內(nèi)容、文章體裁等都具有鮮明的特點。所選體裁涵蓋議論文、說明文和記敘文。這些文章
篇幅適中,結構嚴謹,文筆簡練,具有很高的區(qū)分度和典型性,是考查學生真正語言能力的較好的題目。最近幾年的完形文章往往選取反映社會時事、介紹英美社會熱點話題的內(nèi)容。從體裁上看主要是議論文和說明文,記敘文所占的比重較小。從文章內(nèi)容來看,完形填空的題材較為廣泛,涉及到生活的各個方面。
完形填空的試題設計主要有以下特點:
1.全文所設置的20個空白的間隔有的詞多,有的詞少。其原因是設置空白需要根據(jù)語言點和考點。
2.從選項來看,每小題的4個選項一般都屬于相同或?qū)Φ鹊脑~類或結構,屬于同一范疇。20個小題的80個選項中所用到的詞匯或結構基本不重復,以期增大考查的覆蓋面。
3.從考查能力的重點看,是以考查對文章的通篇理解和詞匯意義為主。單純從語法角度命制的題不多,一般需要考生把握上下文語境的邏輯關系,掌握一定的常識,理解詞語的搭配等。
總體上講,完形填空主要考查考生對語段的連貫性和一致性等特征的辨識能力,以及對一定語境中規(guī)范的語言成分的掌握,是對考生綜合運用語言能力的大檢驗。
一般而言,解答完形填空遵循如下步驟:
1、通讀全文,明確主旨
做題之前,首先要快速通讀全文,從語篇角度掌握文章的基本內(nèi)容。切忌讀一句填一句,望文生義,盲目猜測,以致造成判斷失誤。閱讀時尤其要注意全文的第一句話。第一句一般不留空,它既能讓考生了解文章的主題,又是對下文的重要提示。
2、先整體,后局部
由于完形填空的題目是以語篇為基礎精心設計出來的,因此應先準確把握整篇短文的含義以及上下文的邏輯關系,而不要先將注意力集中在四個選項上,這會阻礙對全句、全文的理解,延誤答題時間,降低答題效率。
3、先易后難,捕捉信息詞
在閱讀段落、了解基本內(nèi)容的前提下,自上而下逐一選擇,是正確的解題思路。但有時考生會遇到很難確定的選擇,這時可先跳過此題,將易選之項選出,提高文章的完整性,減少缺失信息的空格數(shù);待閱讀到下文獲取更多信息時,再回過頭來處理未選之項。
對某些選項把握不大時,尤其要注意捕捉信息詞作為解題線索,利用已知線索推出未知信息。完形填空的題目都可或多或少地從上下文中找到或隱或現(xiàn)的線索或提示。
4、檢查核對
20個選項全部完成后,要認真仔細檢查。有必要快速通讀已選填好的全文,將答案帶入文中,根據(jù)語匯詞義、語法結構、語篇邏輯三條線索檢查選項是否符合上下文含義,與作者觀點是否一致,語法關系(包括人稱、搭配、時態(tài)、語態(tài)、單復數(shù)等等)是否正確。
以上所介紹的是完形填空的命題特點及解題技巧,只是一般的原則和方法;要想將這些方法熟練地應用于解題過程中,還要經(jīng)過大量的實踐和不斷的總結。
總體說來,大學英語四級考試的完形填空所測試的內(nèi)容大致分為4類:1)語境詞匯題;2)固定搭配題;3)語法結構題;4)邏輯推理題。
在大學英語四級考試的完形填空中,詞匯辨義題占大多數(shù),一般都占30%,固定搭配與語法結構一般都各占20%-25%,邏輯推理題占20%。
大學英語四級考試完形填空的命題思想是將詞匯用法作為重點,以篇章理解為基礎,考核學生的語法知識和對詞匯的運用能力。根據(jù)這一命題思想,我們可以有針對性地、比較系統(tǒng)地對考查的試題類型進行分類,根據(jù)各種題型的不同特點應用不同的答題技巧和方法。
1、語境詞匯題
大學英語四級考試完形填空對詞匯的考查在很大程度上與上下文的語境有關,也就是填入哪個單詞要依賴于試題的上文或下文,從已知信息中推論出未知信息,這是大學英語四級考試完形填空考查的重點和方向,同時要注意填入的單詞和周圍單詞的語義搭配問題。
為了達到文章銜接和連貫的目的,文章中的詞匯會通過不同的方式復現(xiàn)出來。詞匯的復現(xiàn)關系指的是某一詞以原詞、同義詞、近義詞、上義詞、下義詞、概括詞或其他形式重復出現(xiàn)在語篇中,語篇中的句子通過這種復現(xiàn)關系達到了相互銜接。詞匯的復現(xiàn)關系又可分為原詞復現(xiàn)、同義詞或近義詞復現(xiàn)、上下義詞復現(xiàn)和概括詞復現(xiàn)四類。我們可以利用詞匯在文章中的復現(xiàn)關系來解答完形填空試題。
1)原詞復現(xiàn)
原詞復現(xiàn)是指相同的單詞在原文中反復出現(xiàn),達到文章銜接的目的,我們可以利用這種銜接方法找到要填入的單詞在原文中的同現(xiàn)詞,也就找到了試題的答案。
Wise buying is a positive way in which you can make your money go further.The 67 go about purchasing an article or a service can actually save you money or can add to the cost。
(2004.12)
67.A)formal
B)way
C)method
D)fashion
【解析】試題所在句子的含義是“購買物品或服務的實際上會讓你省錢或者增加成本”。句中的單詞purchasing 是第一句buying 的同義詞復現(xiàn)。并且第二句話和第一句話之間是并列關系,因此第67題的答案也在第一句話中,是單詞way的原詞復現(xiàn),因此選B)。
2)同義詞或近義詞復現(xiàn)
同義詞復現(xiàn)是指相同或相近的單詞在原文中反復出現(xiàn),以達到文章銜接的目的。在完形填空試題中,就可以利用這種銜接方式找到要填入單詞的同義詞或者近義詞,也就找到了試題的答案。這也包括了同源詞復現(xiàn),即相同詞根構成的不同詞性的單詞在文章中反復出現(xiàn)。
The way you go about purchasing an article or a service can actually save you money or can add to the cost… Before you buy an expensive 84, or a service, do check the price…(2004.12)
84.A)item B)element
C)particle
D)component
【解析】本題所在的短語buy an expensive和上文中的purchasing an article是同義關系。要填入的單詞是單詞article(物品)的同義詞,因此選項A)是正確答案。
3)反義詞復現(xiàn)
反義詞復現(xiàn)是指和前文中詞義相反的單詞在原文中出現(xiàn),以達到文章銜接的目的。我們可以利用文章的這一銜接手段在文章中尋找要填入單詞的反義詞。
Forcing yourself to recall(almost)never helps because it doesn’t 81 your memory;it only tightens it。(1995.1)
81.A)loosen
B)weaken
C)decrease
D)reduce
【解析】前后兩部分互為解釋,一為肯定,一為否定,為反義復現(xiàn)。從下文的tighten可以判斷,上文應該是選loosen。
2、固定搭配題
固定搭配題在完形填空中占了15%左右的比重,在大學英語四級考試完形填空中主要考查的固定搭配題包括對動詞短語、名詞短語、形容詞短語、介詞短語的考查。我們平時應積累和掌握盡可能多的固定短語,只有這樣才能在這一部分得到高分。《大學英語四級考試強化集訓——完形翻譯》一書的附錄里就總結了大量常考短語請大家參考。
They are 79 of free fresh fruit.They want to get back to their herds and start farming again。(2007.6)
79.A)seeking B)dreaming C)longing D)searching
【解析】題目中空格后為of,四個選項中seek常與for,after搭配,long與for搭配,dream與of搭配,search與for搭配。因此選項B)為正確答案。
3、語法結構題
大學英語四級考試完形填空常考的語法項目有:動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)、非謂語動詞、定語從句、賓語從句、虛擬語氣、倒裝結構等。在近幾年的考試中對各種從句的考查頻率較多,請大家注意。做這一類題除了要有系統(tǒng)準確的語法知識之外,還要注意上下文的邏輯關系和語篇內(nèi)容,這樣才能確保答案的正確。
“We started thinking of 86 to do about it,” says Eric Shashoua, chief executive officer of Axon Sleep Research Laboratories。(2006.6)
86.A)what
B)how
C)whether
D)when
【解析】本題考查賓語從句的用法。在名詞性從句中,what要作語法成分,作主語或賓語。同時賓語從句的引導詞可以放在不定式的前面,形成引導詞加不定式的特殊結構,因此選A)。
4、邏輯推理題
完形填空考查的是一種綜合能力,而不僅僅是對詞匯和語法的考查。對句子之間邏輯關系的判斷也是完形填空考查的重點。邏輯關系主要包括因果關系、列舉關系、解說關系、分類關系、比較關系、對照關系等。解答邏輯推理題需要理順要填入的邏輯關系詞前后文的語義,從中判斷兩句話之間的關系。
One third thought Columbus reached the New World after 1750.Two thirds cannot correctly lock the Civil War between 1850 and 1900.71 when they get the answers right, some are just guessing.(2004.6)
71.A)Even B)Though C)Thus D)So
【解析】根據(jù)上文說“三分之二的人不能正確判斷內(nèi)戰(zhàn)發(fā)生在1850年到1900年之間”。下文又說“即使他們說出了正確答案,一些人也僅僅是猜測”。所以此處用副詞even “即使……也……”,以加強語氣。
以上也只是從理論上總結了完形填空的一些答題技巧,真正的提高還需要在平日里多做練習
用真題講一下如何搞定四級選詞填空。
這篇四六級選詞填空是我在四級沖刺班講的一套題,2007年6月的四級考試真題,考生普遍反映很難,因為絕大多數(shù)的備選單詞都不認識,這也是這種閱讀題型成為中國四六級考生最崩潰的題型的最本質(zhì)的和最無奈的原因。對于這篇15選10進行的解析,不能算特別完美,但已經(jīng)極度“功利”,我只翻了5個每個高中生都能認識的單詞,一切只以最終得到結果為標桿,在你讀的時候請靜下心來看我的每一個解析,希望在這個過程中得到更多的感悟,關于其他的四六級真題我都已經(jīng)在四級基礎班和強化班處理過,技巧完全一致,只是細節(jié)的表現(xiàn)形式略有不同,在下周我會繼續(xù)上傳閱讀解題方案,好,我們開始:
Years ago, doctors often said that pain was a normal part of life.In particular, when older patients __47__ of pain, they were told it was a natural part of aging and they would have to learn to live with it.Times have changed.Today, we take pain __48__.Indeed, pain is now considered the fifth vital sign, as important as blood pressure, temperature, breathing rate and pulse in __49__ a person’s well-being.We know that chronic(慢性的)pain can disrupt(擾亂)a person’s life, causing problems that __50__ from missed work to depression.That’s why a growing number of hospitals now depend upon physicians who __51__ in pain medicine.Not only do we evaluate the cause of the pain, which can help us treat the pain better, but we also help provide comprehensive therapy for depression and other psychological and social __52__ related to chronic pain.Such comprehensive therapy often __53__ the work of social workers, psychiatrists(心理醫(yī)生)and psychologists, as well as specialists in pain medicine.This modern __54__ for pain management has led to a wealth of innovative treatments which are more effective and with fewer side effects than ever before.Decades ago, there were only a __55__ number of drugs available, and many of them caused __56__ side effects in older people, including dizziness and fatigue.This created a double-edged sword: the medications helped relieve the pain but caused other problems that could be worse than the pain itself.注意:此部分試題請在答題卡2上作答
A)result
I)determining
B)involves
J)limited
C)significant
K)gravely
D)range
L)complained
E)relieved
M)respect
F)issues
N)prompting
G)seriously
O)specialize
H)magnificent
第一步:
第一步是每位學生都要去做的,就是把15個單詞通過后綴進行詞性分類,但是通常我的習慣是遇到動詞進行二次分類:確定時態(tài),確定單三還是非單三;遇到名詞確定單數(shù)還是復數(shù);我一直認為單詞不認識不應該成為學生放棄選詞填空的原因,在做第一步之前我先把4級歷年真題選詞填空中出現(xiàn)頻率最高的后綴全部列舉出來:
名詞后綴:tion/sion/ness/ment/er/or/ist/ism
形容詞后綴:able/al/ant/ent/tive/sive/ous/less/ed/ing
動詞后綴:ate/lize/ing/ed
副詞后綴:ly/ward/wise
在歷年真題中只要出現(xiàn)ly一定為副詞,這是頻率。
好,我們開始分類:
名詞單數(shù):A)result結果 M)respect(尊重)
可能的名詞復數(shù):F)issues B)involves
動詞原形: O)specialize M)respect(尊重)
動詞進行時:I)determining決定,確定 N)prompting
動詞過去式:J)limited限制 L)complained抱怨 E)relieved
可能的動詞單三:B)involves F)issues
形容詞:C)significant H)magnificent J)limited有限的 副詞:G)seriously嚴肅的 K)gravely
不能確定的:D)range
第二步:
回到原文確定空內(nèi)應填入的詞性、單復數(shù)形式、動詞時態(tài)以及其他語法現(xiàn)象。具體怎么操作,我會在接下來第三步解題的時候具體講解。
第三步:
具體分析,重點打擊,先易后難。怎么操作?我現(xiàn)在開始講解:
具體解法:
47題: when older patients __47__ of pain,前面是patients為復數(shù)名詞,后面是of,確定應填入一個動詞;后半句為they were told告訴我們填入過去時動詞,滿足此題的單詞分別是:J)limited L)complained E)relieved,根據(jù)本句中的pain(痛苦),確定L)complained(抱怨)與pain(痛苦)的感情方向一致。
48題:前面是we take pain __48__,確定應填入副詞來修飾take,滿足的單詞有
G)seriously嚴肅的K)gravely,由于是pain(痛苦),搭配嚴肅,如果這兩個單詞都不認識也是2猜1。
49題:in __49__ a person’s well-being.,我們知道,in后面跟兩種詞性,名詞或動名詞,比如spend time in doing sth,所以滿足的單詞有I)determining決定,確定 N)prompting,2猜1。
50題:causing problems that __50__ from missed work to depression.,由于有from---to---,所以填入動詞單配這兩個介詞,由于沒有任何特殊信息詞,本題填入一個動詞原形,由于前面是problems這個復數(shù),所以排掉B)involves,滿足的只有O)specialize,D)range,兩個都不認識,先放著不管,待會再結合處理。
51題:now depend upon physicians who __51__ in pain medicine,后面是in,確定填動詞搭配in,前面是physicians who,人作主語,并且是復數(shù),所以必須是動詞原形,滿足的單詞依然是O)specialize,D)range,我們可以將50和51題全部填入O)specialize,結果是必對一道,有時候放棄是為了得到。
52題:other psychological and social __52__,前面是psychological and social這兩個形容詞,空內(nèi)應該填入名詞,由于是other,要求我們填入一個名詞復數(shù),滿足的只有一個單詞F)issues B)involves,二選一,別著急,讓我們看下一道題。
53題:Such comprehensive therapy often __53__ the work,前面是often,要求空內(nèi)填入實義動詞,Such comprehensive therapy明顯是單數(shù),不認識也無所謂,確定空內(nèi)的填入的單三形式的動詞,滿足的是F)issues B)involves,知道怎么樣最功利嗎?那就是這道題和上面的52題都填入其中一個,結果依然必對一道!!
54題:This modern __54__ for pain management,前面是形容詞modern,要求填入名詞被它修飾,滿足的是A)result結果 M)respect(尊重),空后是介詞for ,有一點基礎的人都知道M)respect(尊重)最搭配for,所以也就排除了它作為動詞原形的可能性,所以現(xiàn)在知道我為什么將51題的滿足單詞固定為O)specialize,D)range了嗎?
55題:there were only a __55__ number of drugs available,根據(jù)后面的名詞number,和前面的a,我們確定天形容詞修飾number,滿足的有C)significant H)magnificent J)limited有限的,同學們,看到了only了嗎?答案是 limited有限的。
56題:and many of them caused __56__ side effects,后面是名詞概念side effects,填入形容詞來修飾吧!滿足的只有C)significant H)magnificent J),2猜1吧,結合49題2猜1,幾率是兩道2猜1,兩道可以對一道。accelerate vt.(使)加速,增速 【例】accelerate the rate of economic growth 加速經(jīng)濟增長 【派】acceleration n.加速 accelerating a.加速的 account n.賬戶、考慮 【考】take sth.into account 把…考慮在內(nèi)accustom vt.使習慣 【考】be accustomed to 4 adapt vi.適應 【考】adapt to…適應adjust vi.適應 【考】adjust to...適應…advocate vt.宣揚 affluent a.富裕的 【派】affluence n.富裕 annoy vt.使煩惱, 使惱怒 【派】annoying a.令人惱人的;annoyance n.煩惱;?annoyed a.頗為生氣的 ascribe vt.把…歸咎于 【考】ascribe..to 歸因于assess vt.評估 【派】assessment n.評估 assign vt.指派,選派;分配,布置(作業(yè))【派】assignment 作業(yè)assume vt.假象、假定 attain vt.獲得 【考】attain one's ideal 達到理想 attribute vt.把…歸因于 【考】attribute sth.? to 把...歸咎于attribute vt.歸咎于 【考】be attributed to? attribute sth.to … 16 automatically ad.自動地

第三篇:十二月份四級考試總結范文
十二月份四級考試總結
四級成績出來后,我們班這次考得離我們的目標差了很多,遠遠沒有達到計劃書里的通過率,同時也拉了整個年級的后腿。這次四級我們班考得很差,沒過的同學有12個,而且考過的大部分同學的分數(shù)也不高。究其原因,考試前的幾個月的備考中,我們班還是存在很多的問題的,不管是班級還是班里同學個人。這些問題歸結為以下幾個方面:
首先來分析下班級中存在的種種問題。總的來講,我們整個班級還是沒足夠重視起這次的英語四級。我們的同學整體成績都很好,按理來講四級成績不該這么差的,可是就是因為我們太大意了,覺得四級不會有大的問題,沒真正的重視起來,所以才導致了最后的慘劇。再就是四級計劃的執(zhí)行中存在很多的問題。我們班的同學學習都是很自覺的,所以平時的備考中我們就沒操太多的心,督促和檢查不夠及時,沒把握好細節(jié)問題。可是四級備考是持久戰(zhàn),很容易疲憊或松懈,不能及時的督促大家,有些人就會把四級放腦后了或低效率的備考。還有就是班級的早晚自習抓的不夠嚴,晚自習教室紀律沒搞好,同學學習效率低,早自習考勤抓的不夠嚴,很多人都起的不是很早,讀背的時間明顯不夠用。還有就是平時沒有組織足夠多的模擬考試,班里的同學一起練習的次數(shù)不夠,同學們沒能真正的熟悉四級考試,不能很好的把握考試時間,以至于在真正的四級中很多人由于時間問題而不能把題目做完。模擬考試不夠多的另一個問題,就是大家不能很好的去練習聽力,在考試中練習聽力是很重要的。模擬考試可以讓大家盡
可能的熟悉四級考試模式,沒能組織足夠量的考試是我們的失誤。還有就是模擬考試后不能及時組織大家進行總結和交流。考試后進行總結和交流是很有必要的,這樣可以及時的找出存在的問題,對共同的問題班里的同學可以進行討論,商量出解決的辦法,對個別人的問題也可以通過交流來找到解決辦法。最后就是班里的學習互幫小組沒有太大的效果,可能是同學們覺得英語的學習幫起來不容易,互幫也僅限于講一下個別的題目,沒有實際的作用,大多數(shù)時間還是各學各的。班級里的這些問題,我們班委有一定的責任,沒能起好積極帶頭作用,沒能監(jiān)督好四級計劃中各方面的高效實施,最大的失職就是沒能讓班里的所有人都重視起英語四級,我們對英語四級考試的重要性宣傳還不夠,備考中班里同學不夠認真。當然班級的問題還不知這些,下一步的四級備考中我們會認真改進,努力糾正這次的問題。
最后說一下班級中同學們自身存在的一些問題。首先就是大多數(shù)同學太過于懶散,沒有時間觀念,四級備考不夠緊張,沒有足夠的壓力以至于動力也不夠。一部分人可能覺得自己問題不大,考過四級很輕松,掉以輕心了,以至于四級考不過或考過了但分數(shù)很低。還有就是平時大多數(shù)同學沒有做足夠的真題或者做了但不是按四級考試時間來完成的,平時的訓練不夠或沒有實際的練習效果。這次的英語四級考試中,在12個沒過的同學里,大部分英語平時成績都很好的,都考了400多分的成績,只是這次發(fā)揮失常,有幾個就差幾分。所以下次的考試他們幾個問題不大,我們有決心在下次的考試中達到制定的目標,做到做好的成績。
在這里我們做了深刻反思和總結,找出了自己班級以及班級同學們中存在的諸多問題。請老師給予批評和指正,我們有決心在今后解決好這些問題,有信心在下次四級考試中有讓老師滿意的成績。

Privatization, or the threat of it, is a motivation as well.Monopolies(壟斷者)that until recently have been free to take their customers for granted now fear what Michael Perry, a marketing professor, calls “the revengeful(報復的)consumer.” When the government opened up competition with Bezaq, the phone company, its international branch lost 40% of its market share, even while offering competitive rates.Says Perry, “People wanted revenge for all the years of bad service.” The electric company, whose monopoly may be short-lived, has suddenly mopped requiring users to wait half a day for a repairman.Now, appointments are scheduled to the half-hour.The graceless El Al Airlines, which is already at auction(拍賣), has retrained its employees to emphasize service and is boasting about the results in an ad campaign with the slogan, “You can feel the change in the air.” For the first time, praise outnumbers complaints on customer survey sheets.26.It may be inferred from the passage that _______.A)customer service in Israel is now improving B)wealthy Israeli customers are hard to please C)the tourist industry has brought chain stores to Israel D)Israeli customers prefer foreign products to domestic ones 27.In the author?s view, higher service standards are impossible in Israel ________.A)if customer complaints go unnoticed by the management B)unless foreign companies are introduced in greater numbers C)if there?s no competition among companies

On Disasters
An old saying goes: Life is full of roses and thorns.As we all know, one’s life is full of unexpected events, some of which are wonderful and some of which are disastrous.Those heavy blows, such as floods, snowstorms and earthquakes, threaten to weigh one down.However, it’s even worse if one can’t drag himself out of the grief in that mental breakdown is more serious than the disaster itself.Instead of indulging oneself in sadness, one should take positive attitude towards life and contribute to the reconstruction of his or her life and hometown.As for me, if I am lucky enough to survive in a disaster, I will try my best to help those who are suffering by donation blood or money.If I am a victim, I will endeavor to recover from the sadness as soon as possible and be certain to be strong and supportive to the recovery work.作文題預測二:
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the topic College Marriage.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.參考范文:
College Marriage
Nowadays, news on college marriage has aroused a debate on whether college marriage should be advocated.Many people strongly oppose the phenomenon of college marriage.They hold that the chief task for college students is to study, and marriage will distract their attention and occupy a lot of time.Moreover, students are not economically independent, so marriage will cause a lot of problems such as future job hunting and housing, In a word, they believe marriage will largely hinder both present study and future work.From my perspective, I think college marriage should be permitted but be practiced with extreme care.On the one hand, the right of college students should be respected, as they are adults.On the other hand, the time in college is so precious that every student will think twice before they get married.Once married, they should be mature enough to balance academic and martial commitments.作文題預測三:

參考范文:
My View on Job-Hopping
Many people are inclined to do one job in their lives.In their opinions, people who change their jobs frequently are superficial and tactless.They believe that the only way to success is to stick to one job, because constant practice in a professional field helps make an expert.But there are still many people who don’t agree.They argue that change means progress.If you are not satisfied with your present job or you have some better opportunities, of course you have the right to replace it with a more challenging and better paid one.Every change is a step to further success.This idea may be the reason why they change their jobs so offer.For my part, I think it reasonable to change your job if you have a better opportunity.But once you have found a position where you can fully display your ability, it is advisable to settle down to it and put all your efforts into it.Only in this way, can you get the true joy of achieving your goal and improving your capability.【句型解析】
Every change is a step to further success.每一個改變都是向成功邁進了一步。點評:這句話短小精悍,富有哲理,其實生活中大家都要善于改變,接受新事物。
