Do you remember all those years when scientists argued that smoking would kill us but thedoubters insisted that we didn‘t know for sure? That the evidence was inconclusive, the scienceuncertain? That the antismoking lobby was out to destroy our way of life and the government shouldstay out of the way? Lots of Americans bought that nonsense, and over three decades, some 10million smokers went to early graves.

There are upsetting parallels today, as scientists in one wave after another try to awaken us tothe growing threat of global warming. The latest was a panel from the National Academy ofSciences, enlisted by the White House, to tell us that the Earth‘s atmosphere is definitely warmingand that the problem is largely man-made. The clear message is that we should get moving to protectourselves. The president of the National Academy, Bruce Alberts, added this key point in the prefaceto the panel‘s report: ―Science never has all the answers. But science does provide us with the bestavailable guide to the future, and it is critical that our nation and the world base important policieson the best judgments that science can provide concerning the future consequences of presentactions.‖Just as on smoking, voices now come from many quarters insisting that the science about globalwarming is incomplete, that it‘s OK to keep pouring fumes into the air until we know for sure. Thisis a dangerous game: by the time 100 percent of the evidence is in, it may be too late. With the risksobvious and growing, a prudent people would take out an insurance policy now.

Fortunately, the White House is starting to pay attention. But it‘s obvious that a majority of thepresident‘s advisers still don‘t take global warming seriously. Instead of a plan of action, theycontinue to press for more research —a classic case of ―paralysis by analysis.‖

To serve as responsible stewards of the planet, we must press forward on deeper atmosphericand oceanic research. But research alone is inadequate. If the Administration won‘t take thelegis lative initiative, Congress should help to begin fashioning conservation

measures. A bill byDemocratic Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, which would offer financial incentives forprivate industry, is a promising start. Many see that the country is getting ready to build lots of newpower plants to meet our energy needs. If we are ever going to protect the atmosphere, it is crucialthat those new plants be environmentally sound.

Americans no longer expect public figures, whether in speech or in writing, to command theEnglish language with skill and gift. Nor do they aspire to such command themselves. In his latestbook, Doing Our Own Thing: The Degradation of Language and Music and Why We Should, Like,Care, John McWhorter, a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservative views, seesthe triumph of 1960s counter-culture as responsible for the decline of formal English.

Blaming the permissive 1960s is nothing new, but this is not yet another criticism against thedecline in education. Mr. McWhorter’s academic speciality is language history and change, and he sees the gradual disappearance of ―whom,‖ for example, to be natural and no more regrettable thanthe loss of the case-endings of Old English.

But the cult of the authentic and the personal, ―doing our own thing,‖ has spelt the death offormal speech, writing, poetry and music. While even the modestly educated sought an elevatedtone when they put pen to paper before the 1960s, even the most well regarded writing since thenhas sought to capture spoken English on the page. Equally, in poetry, the highly personal,performative genre is the only form that could claim real liveliness. In both oral and written English,talking is triumphing over speaking, spontaneity over craft.

Illustrated with an entertaining array of examples from both high and low culture, the trendthat Mr. McWhorter documents is unmistakable. But it is less clear, to take the question of hissubtitle, why we should, like, care. As a linguist, he acknowledges that all varieties of humanlanguage, including non-standard ones like Black English, can be powerfully expressive —thereexists no language or dialect in the world that cannot convey complex ideas. He is not arguing, asmany do, that we can no longer think straight because we do not talk proper.

Russians have a deep love for their own language and carry large chunks of memorized poetryin their heads, while Italian politicians tend to elaborate speech that would seem old-fashioned tomost English-speakers. Mr. McWhorter acknowledges that formal language

is not strictly necessary,and proposes no radical education reforms — he is really grieving over the loss of somethingbeautiful more than useful. We now take our English ―on paper plates instead of china.‖ A shame,perhaps, but probably an inevitable one.

36. According to McWhorter, the decline of formal English ________.

[A] is inevitable in radical education reforms

[B] is but all too natural in language development

[C] has caused the controversy over the counter-culture

[D] brought about changes in public attitudes in the 1960s

37. The word “talking” (Line 6, Paragraph 3) denotes ________.

[A] modesty [B] personality

[C] liveliness [D] informality

38. To which of the following statements would McWhorter most likely agree?

[A] Logical thinking is not necessarily related to the way we talk.

[B] Black English can be more expressive than standard English.

[C] Non-standard varieties of human language are just as entertaining.

[D] Of all the varieties, standard English can best convey complex ideas.

39. The description of Russians’ love of memorizing poetry shows the author’s ______.

[A] interest in their language [B] appreciation of their efforts

[C] admiration for their memory [D] contempt for their old-fashionedness

40. According to the last paragraph, “paper plates” is to “china” as ________.

[A] ―temporary‖ is to ―permanent‖

[B] ―radical‖ is to ―conservative‖

[C] ―functional‖ is to ―artistic‖

[D] ―humble‖ is to ―noble

In spite of ―endless talk of difference,‖ American society is an amazing machinefor homogenizing people. There is ―the democratizing uniformity of dress anddiscourse, and the casualness and absence of deference‖ characteristic of popularculture. People are absorbed into ―a culture of consumption‖ launched by the 19thcen tury department stores that offered ―vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere.Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite,‖ these were stores ―anyonecould enter, regardless of class or background. This turned shopping into a public and democratic act.‖ The mass media, advertising and sports are other forces forhomogenization.

Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, which may not be altogether elevatingbut is hardly poisonous. Writing for the National Immigration Forum, Gregory Rodriguez reportsthat today‘s immigration is neither at unprecedented levels nor resistant to assimilation. In 1998immigrants were 9.8 percent of population; in 1900, 13.6 percent. In the 10 years prior to 1990, 3.1immigrants arrived for every 1,000 residents; in the 10 years prior to 1890, 9.2 for every 1,000. Now,consider three indices of assimilation — language, home ownership and intermarriage.

The 1990 Census revealed that ―a majority of immigrants from each of the fifteen mostcommon countries o f origin spoke English ?well‘ or ?very well‘ after ten years of residence.‖ Thechildren of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English. ―By the third generation, theoriginal language is lost in the majority of immigrant families.‖ Hence the d escription of Americaas a ―graveyard‖ for languages. By 1996 foreign-born immigrants who had arrived before 1970 hada home ownership rate of 75.6 percent, higher than the 69.8 percent rate among native-bornAmericans.

Foreign-born Asians and Hispanics ―have higher rates of intermarriage than do U.S.-bornwhites and blacks.‖ By the third generation, one third of Hispanic women are married to nonHispanics, and 41 percent of Asian-American women are married to non-Asians.

Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are fans of superstars likeArnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks, yet ―some Americans fear that immigrants living withinthe United States remain somehow immune to the nation‘s assimilative power.‖Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America? Indeed. It is big enough tohave a bit of everything. But particularly when viewed against America‘s turbulent past, today‘ssocial indices hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social environment.

21. The word “homogenizing”(Line 2, Paragraph 1) most probably means ________.

[A] identifying [B] associating

[C] assimilating [D] monopolizing

22. According to the author, the department stores of the 19th century ________.

[A] played a role in the spread of popular culture

[B] became intimate shops for common consumers

[C] satisfied the needs of a knowledgeable elite

[D] owed its emergence to the culture of consumption

23. The text suggests that immigrants now in the U.S. ________.

[A] are resistant to homogenization

[B] exert a great influence on American culture

[C] are hardly a threat to the common culture

[D] constitute the majority of the population

24. Why are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks mentioned in Paragraph 5?

[A] To prove their popularity around the world.

[B] To reveal the public‘s fear of immigrants.

[C] To give examples of successful immigrants.

[D] To show the powerful influence of American culture.

25. In the author’s opinion, the absorption of immigrants into American society is ___.

[A] rewarding [B] successful

[C] fruitless [D] harmful

Many things make people think artists are weird. But the weirdest may be this: artists‘ only jobis to explore emotions, and yet they choose to focus on the ones that feel bad.

This wasn‘t always so. The earliest forms of art, like painting and music, are those best suitedfor expressing joy. But somewhere from the 19th century onward, more artists began seeinghappiness as meaningless, phony or, worst of all, boring, as we went from Wordsworth‘s daffodilsto Baudelaire‘s flowers of evil.

You could argue that art became more skeptical of happiness because modern times have seenso much misery. But it‘s not as if earlier times didn‘t know perpetual war, disaster and the massacreof innocents. The reason, in fact, may be just the opposite: there is too much damn happiness in theworld today.

After all, what is the one modern form of expression almost completely dedicated to depictinghappiness? Advertising. The rise of anti-happy art almost exactly tracks the emergence of massmedia, and with it, a commercial culture in which happiness is not just an ideal but an ideology.

People in earlier eras were surrounded by reminders of misery. They worked until exhausted,lived with few protections and died young. In the West, before mass communication and literacy,the most powerful mass medium was the church, which reminded worshippers that their souls werein danger and that they would someday be meat for worms. Given all this, they did not exactly needtheir art to be a bummer too.

Today the messages the average Westerner is surrounded with are not religious but commercial,and forever happy. Fast-food eaters, news anchors, text messengers, all smiling, smiling, smiling.Our magazines feature beaming celebrities and happy families in perfect homes. And since thesemessages have an agenda — to lure us to open our wallets — they make the very idea ofhappiness seem unreliable. ―Celebrate!‖ commanded the ads for the arthritis drug Celebrex, beforewe found out it could increase the risk of heart attacks.

But what we forget — what our economy depends on us forgetting — is that happiness ismore than pleasure without pain. The things that bring the greatest joy carry the greatest

potentialfor loss and disappointment. Today, surrounded by promises of easy happiness, we need art to tellus, as religion once did, Memento mori: remember that you will die, that everything ends, and thathappiness comes not in denying this but in living with it. It‘s a message even more bitter than aclove cigarette, yet, somehow, a breath of fresh air.

36. By citing the examples of poets Wordsworth and Baudelaire, the author intends to show that________.

[A] poetry is not as expressive of joy as painting or music

[B] art grows out of both positive and negative feelings

[C] poets today are less skeptical of happiness

[D] artists have changed their focus of interest

37. The word “bummer” (Line 5, paragraph 5) most probably means something ___.

[A]religious [B] unpleasant

[C] entertaining [D] commercial

38. In the author’s opinion, advertising ________.

[A] emerges in the wake of the anti-happy art

[B] is a cause of disappointment for the general public

[C] replaces the church as a major source of information

[D] creates an illusion of happiness rather than happiness itself

39. We can learn from the last paragraph that the author believes ________.

[A] happiness more often than not ends in sadness

[B] the anti-happy art is distasteful but refreshing

[C] misery should be enjoyed rather than denied

[D] the anti-happy art flourishes when economy booms

40. Which of the following is true of the text?

[A] Religion once functioned as a reminder of misery.

[B] Art provides a balance between expectation and reality.

[C] People feel disappointed at the realities of modern society.

[D] Mass media are inclined to cover disasters and deaths.

If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006‘s World Cuptournament, you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more likely tohave been born in the earlier months of the year than in the later months. If you then examined theEuropean national youth teams that feed the World Cup and professional ranks, you would find thisstrange phenomenon to be even more pronounced.

What might account for this strange phenomenon? Here are a few guesses: a) certainastrological signs confer superior soccer skills; b) winter-born babies tend to have higher oxygencapacity, which increases soccer stamina; c) soccer-mad parents are more likely to conceive childrenin springtime, at the annual peak of soccer mania; d) none of the above.

Anders Ericsson, a 58-year-old psychology professor at Florida State University, says hebelieves strongly in ―none of the above.‖ Ericsson grew up in Sweden, and studied nuclearengineering until he realized he would have more opportunity to conduct his own research if heswitched to psychology. His first experiment, nearly 30 years ago, involved memory: training aperson to hear and then repeat a random series of numbers. ―With the first subject, after about 20hours of training, his digit span had risen from 7 to 20,‖ Ericsson recalls. ―He kept improving, andafter about 200 hours of training he had risen to over 80 numbers.‖

This success, coupled with later research showing that memory itself is not geneticallydetermined, led Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise thanan intuitive one. In other words, whatever inborn differences two people may exhibit in their abilitiesto memorize, those differences are swamped by how well each person ―encodes‖ the information.And the best way to learn how to encode information meaningfully, Ericsson determined, was aprocess known as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice entails more than simply repeating a task.Rather, it involves setting specific goals, obtaining immediate feedback and concentrating as muchon technique as on outcome.

Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying expert performers in a wide

range ofpursuits, including soccer. They gather all the data they can, not just performance statistics andbiographical details but also the results of their own laboratory experiments with high achievers.Their work makes a rather startling assertion: the trait we commonly call talent is highly overrated.Or, put another way, expert performers –whether in memory or surgery, ballet or computerprogramming –are nearly always made, not born.

21. The birthday phenomenon found among soccer players is mentioned to

[A] stress the importance of professional training.

[B] spotlight the soccer superstars in the World Cup.

[C] introduce the topic of what makes expert performance.

[D] explain why some soccer teams play better than others.

22. The word “mania” (Line 4, Paragraph 2) most probably means

[A] fun. [B] craze.

[C] hysteria. [D] excitement.

23. According to Ericsson, good memory

[A] depends on meaningful processing of information.

[B] results from intuitive rather than cognitive exercises.

[C] is determined by genetic rather than psychological factors.

[D] requires immediate feedback and a high degree of concentration.

24. Ericsson and his colleagues believe that

[A] talent is a dominating factor for professional success.

[B] biographical data provide the key to excellent performance.

[C] the role of talent tends to be overlooked.

[D] high achievers owe their success mostly to nurture.

25. Which of the following proverbs is closest to the message the text tries to convey?

[A] ―Faith will move mountains.‖

[B] ―One reaps what one sows.‖

[C] ―Practice makes perfect.‖

[D] ―Like father, like son.‖

It never rains but it pours. Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worstaccounting and compliance troubles, and improved their feeble corporation governance, a newproblem threatens to earn them -especially in America -the sort of nasty headlines thatinevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite: data insecurity. Left, until now, to odd, lowlevel IT staff to put right, and seen as a concern only of data-rich industries such as banking,telecoms and air travel, information protection is now high on the boss‘s agenda in businesses ofevery variety.

Several massive leakages of customer and employee data this year -from organizations asdiverse as Time Warner, the American defense contractor Science Applications International Corpand even the University of California, Berkeley -have left managers hurriedly peering into theirintricate IT systems and business processes in search of potential vulnerabilities.

“Data is becoming an asset which needs to be guarded as much as any other asset,‖ says HaimMendelson of Stanford University‘s business school. ―The ability to guard customer data is the keyto market value, which the board is responsible for on behalf of shareholders.‖ Indeed,just as thereis the concept of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), perhaps it is time for GASP,Generally Accepted Security Practices, suggested Eli Noam of New York‘s Columbia BusinessSchool. ―Setting the proper investment level for security, redundancy, and recovery is a managementissue, not a technical one,‖ he says.

The mystery is that this should come as a surprise to any boss. Surely it should be obvious tothe dimmest executive that trust, that most valuable of economic assets, is easily destroyed andhugely expensive to restore -and that few things are more likely to destroy trust than a companyletting sensitive personal data get into the wrong hands.

The current state of affairs may have been encouraged -though not justified -by the lackof legal penalty (in America, but not Europe) for data leakage. Until California recently

passed alaw, American firms did not have to tell anyone, even the victim, when data went astray. That maychange fast: lots of proposed data-security legislation is now doing the rounds in Washington, D.C.Meanwhile, the theft of information about some 40 million credit-card accounts in America,disclosed on June 17th, overshadowed a hugely important decision a day earlier by America‘sFederal Trade Commission (FTC) that p uts corporate America on notice that regulators will act iffirms fail to provide adequate data security.

36. The statement “It never rains but it pours” is used to introduce

[A] the fierce business competition. [B] the feeble boss-board relations.

[C] the threat from news reports. [D] the severity of data leakage.

37. According to Paragraph 2, some organizations check their systems to find out

[A] whether there is any weak point. [B] what sort of data has been stolen.

[C] who is responsible for the leakage. [D] how the potential spies can be located.

38. In bringing up the concept of GASP the author is making the point that

[A] shareholders‘ interests should be properly attended to.

[B] information protection should be given due attention.

[C] businesses should enhance their level of accounting security.

[D] the market value of customer data should be emphasized.

39. According to Paragraph 4, what puzzles the author is that some bosses fail to

[A] see the link between trust and data protection.

[B] perceive the sensitivity of personal data.

[C] realize the high cost of data restoration.

[D] appreciate the economic value of trust.

40. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that

[A] data leakage is more severe in Europe.

[B] FTC‘s decision is essential to data s ecurity.

[C] California takes the lead in security legislation.

[D] legal penalty is a major solution to data leakage.

In 1784, five years before he became president of the United States, George Washington, 52,was nearly toothless. So he hired a dentist to transplant nine teeth into his jaw — having extractedthem from the mouths of his slaves.

That‘s a far different image from the cherry-tree-chopping George most people remember fromtheir history books. But recently, many historians have begun to focus on the roles slavery playedin the lives of the founding generation. They have been spurred in part by DNA evidence madeavailable in 1998, which almost certainly proved Thomas Jefferson had fathered at least one childwith his slave Sally Hemings. And only over the past 30 years have scholars examined history fromthe bottom up. Works of several historians reveal the moral compromises made by the nation‘s earlyleaders and the fragile nature of the country‘s infancy. More significantly, they argue that many ofthe Founding Fathers knew slavery was wrong — and yet most did little to fight it.

More than anything, the historians say, the founders were hampered by the culture of their time.While Washington and Jefferson privately expressed distaste for slavery, they also understood thatit was part of the political and economic bedrock of the country they helped to create.

For one thing, the South could not afford to part with its slaves. Owning slaves was ―like havinga large bank account,‖ says Wiencek, author of An Imperfect God: George Washington, His Slaves,and the Creation of America. The southern states would not have signed the Constitution withoutprotections for the ―peculiar institution,‖ including a clause that counted a slave as three fifths of aman for purposes of congressional representation.

And the statesmen‘s political lives depended on slavery. The three-fifths formula handedJefferson his narrow victory in the presidential election of 1800 by inflating the votes of the southernstates in the Electoral College. Once in office, Jefferson extended slavery with the LouisianaPurchase in 1803; the new land was carved into 13 states, including three slave states.

Still, Jefferson freed Hemings‘s children —though not Hemings herself or his approximately150 other slaves. Washington, who had begun to believe that all men were created equal afterobserving the bravery of the black soldiers during the Revolutionary War, overcame the strongopposition of his relatives to grant his slaves their freedom in his will. Only a decade earlier, suchan act would have required legislative approval in Virginia.

36. George Washington’s dental surgery is mentioned to

[A] show the primitive medical practice in the past.

[B] demonstrate the cruelty of slavery in his days.

[C] stress the role of slaves in the U.S. history.

[D] reveal some unknown aspect of his life.

37. We may infer from the second paragraph that

[A] DNA technology has been widely applied to history research.

[B] in its early days the U.S. was confronted with delicate situations.

[C] historians deliberately made up some stories of Jefferson‘s life.

[D] political compromises are easily found throughout the U.S. history.

38. What do we learn about Thomas Jefferson?

[A] His political view changed his attitude towards slavery.

[B] His status as a father made him free the child slaves.

[C] His attitude towards slavery was complex.

[D] His affair with a slave stained his prestige.

39. Which of the following is true according to the text?

[A] Some Founding Fathers benefit politically from slavery.

[B] Slaves in the old days did not have the right to vote.

[C] Slave owners usually had large savings accounts.

[D] Slavery was regarded as a peculiar institution.

40. Washington’s decision to free slaves originated from h is

[A] moral considerations. [B] military experience.

[C] financial conditions. [D] political stand.

Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot andrelaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. ―Not choice, but habit rules theunreflecting herd,‖ William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century,even the word ―habit‖ carries a negative connotation.

So it seems antithetical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation.But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we createparallel synaptic paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought ontonew, innovative tracks.

Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct ourown change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try —the morewe step outside our comfort zone —the more inherently creative we become, both in theworkplace and in our personal lives.

But don‘t bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into thebrain, they‘re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately ingrain into ourselves createparallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.

“The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder,‖ says Dawna Markova,author of The Open Mind. ―But we are taught instead to ?decide,‘ just as our president calls himself‘the Decider.‘‖ She adds, however, that ―to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A goodinnovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.‖

All of us work through problems in ways of which we‘re unaware, she says. Researchers in thelate 1960 covered that humans are born with the capacity to approach challenges in four primaryways: analytically, procedurally, relationally (or collaboratively) and innovatively. At puberty,however, the brain shuts down half of that capacity, preserving only those modes of thought thathave seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.

So it seems antithetical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation. 习惯是件有趣的事情。我们无意识间养成了一些习惯,我们的大脑是自动运 转的,轻松进入熟知套路所带来的不自觉舒适状态。“这并非选择,而是习惯控 制了那些没有思想的人”,这是威廉?华兹华斯(William Wordsworth)19世纪时 说的话。在现在这个日新月异的21世纪,甚至习惯这个词本身也带有负面涵义。 因此,在创造和革新的背景下来谈论习惯,似乎显得有点矛盾。 But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel synaptic paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks. But don’t bother trying to kil off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the hippocampus, they there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately ingrain into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads. 但大脑研究人员发现,当我们有意识地培养新的习惯的时候,我们创建了平 行路径,甚至是全新的脑细胞,可以让我们的思路跳转到新的创新轨道上来。但 是,不必费心试图摈弃各种旧习惯;一旦这些程序惯例融进大脑,它们就会留在 那里。相反,我们刻意培养的新习惯会创建平行路径能避开原来那些老路。 “The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder,” says D Markova, author of “The Open Mind” and an executive change consultant for Professional Thinking Partners. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide,’ just as decide is to kill off president calls himself ‘the Decider.’” She adds, however, that “to all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.” 大学英语

80+分 考生的考研英语高分经验之谈(纯干货)

考研路上,总有一些考试大神的存在,他们看似毫不费力的就获得了400+的高分,英语也轻松拿到80+,其实这一切的成绩背后都付出了巨大的努力,当然,也有一些技巧和方法,看看这篇大神的经验贴吧,希望对你有益~ 先介绍一下,我是15年英语二,阅读全对,完形错了2分。 一定要先说几个常见的误区: 没有一套方法能让你不背单词而做对阅读。 没有一套单词能让你不看真题就拿高分。 英语,整个考研过程中最见成效的科目,一分辛苦一分才,踏踏实实做阅读,背单词,英语水平就能得到真实的提高。它最不依赖老师的一门学科,虽然初期的时候跟着老师学了不少东西,但是真正的提高还是靠自己不断的积累。我把考研英语界的老师分为技巧派和基础派。个人非常反对技巧派,尤其是纯技巧派,讲一些不需要看文章直接得答案的方法。现在考研英语界的很多老师都是营销高手,就抓住你的不想努力还想拿高分的心里,希望大家擦亮双眼,被骗钱还是其次,浪费时间可就太惨了。 本人是一个纯的基础派,所用的所有方法也是建立在读懂的基础之上的。先简单说说各部分的应对策略。 完形:英语二中最难的一部分,就算全部读懂也不一定做对,需要自己总结一些做题方法,例如同义复现原则。 阅读:最基础的一部分,需要单词和语法的积累,英语二还需要关注细节。但只要把文章读明白是基本不会错太多。 新题型:送分题 翻译:也不难,但是需要关注一些特定句式的固定译法。自己就总结好多这种句式,以防出现翻译对了不拿分的情况 作文:大多数人对作文有误解,认为背背老师给的模版就行了。模版是一种绝对拿不了高分的东西。想拿高分必须在写作过程中用一些特别地道的词汇,尤其是动词,这其实看前期的积累。 我的考研英语准备经历了漫长的准备过程,下面把自己的经历分享的给大家,希望大家能得到帮助。 未准备考研阶段

【考研英语辅导班】如何完成考研英语阅读笔记

【考研英语辅导班】如何完成考研英语阅读笔记启道考研分享 得英语者得考研,想超越80分,关注启道英语考研辅导班。 全国硕士研究生入学考试的英语试卷分为英语(一)和英语(二)。 英语(一)即原研究生入学统考“英语”,所有学术型硕士研究生(十三大门类,110个一级学科)和部分专业型硕士(法律硕士、临床医学硕士、口腔医学硕士、建筑学硕士、护理硕士、汉语国际教育硕士、公共卫生硕士等)必考英语(一)。 英语(二)主要是为高等院校和科研院所招收不考英语(一)的专业学位硕士研究生而设置的具有选拔性质的统考科目。 对于很多考生来说,考研英语是一门比较难的科目,很多同学为了取得更好的分数都会选择报考研英语辅导班!那么多的考研英语辅导班那,究竟哪个考研英语辅导班比较好呢?哪个才是适合自己的呢?启道考研小编来帮忙。 在启道考研英语辅导班,不需要每天不停的刷阅读,刷阅读,刷阅读。。。。。更不需要毫无目标的做真题,做真题,做真题。。。。。掌握有效的学习方法,完成事半功倍的学习效率。 第一,扫描题干,划关键项。 第二,通读全文,抓住中心。 1. 通读全文,抓两个重点: ①首段(中心句、核心概念常在第一段,常在首段出题); ②其他各段的段首和段尾句。(其他部分略读,有重点的读) 2. 抓住中心,用一分半时间思考3个问题: ①文章叙述的主要内容是什么? ②文章中有无提到核心概念? ③作者的大致态度是什么? 第三,仔细审题,返回原文。(仔细看题干,把每道题和原文的某处建立联系,挂起钩) 定位原则: ①通常是由题干出发,使用寻找关键词定位原则。(关键词:大写字母、地名、时间、数字等)

②自然段定位原则。出题的顺序与行文的顺序是基本一致的,一般每段对应一题。 ★要树立定位意识,每一题、每一选项都要回到原文中某一处定位。 第四,重叠选项,得出答案。(重叠原文=对照原文) 1. 通过题干返回原文:判断四个选项,抓住选项中的关键词,把选项定位到原文的某处比较,重叠选项,选出答案。 2.做题练习要求:要有选一个答案的理由和其余三个不选的理由。 阅读理解解题技巧 1. 词汇题:“搜索代入”法 ①返回原文,找出该词汇出现的地方。 ②确定该词汇的词性。 ③从上下文(词汇的前后几句)中找到与所给词汇具有相同词性的词(如一下子找不到就再往上往下找),代入所给词汇在文章中的位置(将之替换)看语义是否合适。 ④找出选项中与代替词意思相同或相近的选相,即答案。 注意: a.如果该词汇是简单词汇,则其字面意思必然不是正确答案。 b.考研阅读不是考察字认识不认识,而是考察是否能根据上下文作出正确的判断。 c.词汇题的正确答案经常蕴藏在原文该词汇出现的附近。注意不能靠单词词义直接往下推。 d.寻找时要注意同位语、特殊标点(比如分号,分号前后两句话的逻辑关系不是形式上的并列就是语义上的并列,也就是两句话的意思相同,所以可用其中一句话的意思来推测另一句话的意思从而推出所给词汇含义)、定语从句、前后缀,特别要注意寻找时的同性原则。比如:让猜一个名词词组(动词词组)的意思,我们就向上向下搜索名词词组(动词词组)。 ▲隐蔽型词汇题:题干与原文的某句完全重合,只有一两个词被替换掉。隐蔽型词汇题的做法跟词汇题的做法几乎一样,往上往下找。 2. 指代题: ①返回原文,找出出题的指代词。 ②向上搜索,找最近的名词、名词性短语或句子(先从最近点开始找,找不到再找次近的,一般答案不会离得太远)。 ③将找到的词、词组或句子的意思代入替换该指代词,看其意思是否通顺。

考研英语答题技巧之阅读篇

考研英语答题技巧之阅读篇 考研英语答题技巧之阅读篇 1、原句重复出现,200%错。正确的都是有改动的,即同意替换。 2、文章是按顺序出题的。你要觉得不是,就是你做错了。 3、选项中意思完全相反的2个选项,其中之一是对的。(要有这个意识)。 4、就一般而言,somepeople,表作者不认同的观点。fewpeople,表作者的观点。 5、用文章里举例的句子来作为选项,直接排除。200%错。(要有能辨别这个选项是不是文章中例子的能力)。 6、某某人说的话,或者是带引号的,一定要高度重视。尤其是 在段落的后半部分。很有可能就是某个问题的同意替换。即题眼。 7、有的时候,一句话可以设2个问题。不过这种情况很少出现了,非常少。 8、文章基本以5段为主(也有6段、7段的),要把握每段之间 的关系。一般来说,一段一个题,只是一般来说喔。 9、一篇文章总会有5、6+个长难句,且总会在这里设问题。所以,长难句必须要拿下! 10、每段的第一句很重要。尤其总分结构的段。有的时候第一句话就是题眼。考研英语,总分结构或者总分总的段落很多。 11、若文章首段以why为开头的,这里若设题的话,选项里有because的,往往就是正确选项。不过这种类型的题,很少见了。

12、有时候每段的第一句话,仅仅是一个表述。而在第2或3句以后,会出现对比或者转折。一般来说,转折后面的是作者的态度。你要注意的是,作者对什么进行了转折。那个关键词你要找出来。 13、在应该出现答案的地方,没有答案。接着往下读。答案可能会在下一段的开头部分。因为文章都是接着说的。要有连贯性。这 和7选5的技巧有些相似。不过这种情况并不多见。 14、一个长句看不懂,接着往下看,下一句可能是这个长句的解释说明。是的话,这的地方可能会出题。出的话,答案就在这附近。而实际情况是,文章在谈论某个问题或提出某个观点时,有时会再 做进一步的解释说明。这种情况下,这里往往会设问题。不过,这 种情况很少见了。 15、有些句子仅仅是解释补充,或者是起过渡作用的。这样句子的特点是,句子比较短。注意,答案一般不会在这儿出现。选项中 出现,肯定是干扰项。你要知道的是,同意替换的句子,大都是长 难句。一些作为过渡的句子,不可能是答案。在你读不懂的情况下,要有这个判断力。 16、正确选项都是原文中的个别几个词的同义替换。阅读理解历年的.所有真题,都是同意替换!就看你能不能找得到。考研英语, 考的就是这个!那个关键词,就看你找没找得到,不管是什么类型的题。 17、每一个问题,在原文中,都要有一个定位。然后精读,找出那个中心句或者关键词。要抓文章的中心主旨和各段落的大意,阅 读理解考的就是这个“中心句”。 18、选项中的几个单词,是该段中不同句子里的单词拼凑的,有时看上去很舒服,注意,干扰项。还有从不同的段落里的词拼凑到 一起的,直接排除。总之,选项的单词是拼凑的,肯定错。 19、一定要注意文章中句子的宾语部分,尤其是长难句中主干的宾语。上面说了,考研英语大都是长难句里设题。你要知道的是, 长难句里,最可能是出题的就是句子的主干部分!主干的主语、宾语

考研英语阅读经验

考研英语阅读经验 h t p:/w w.C n K y.N e t 2006-5-31 考研英语的重点就是要大量的阅读。现在考研英语对阅读的考查越来越多,这也需要我们进一步的提高阅读能力。虽然考研的阅读理解有一定的规律可循,但是这些规律也在逐年的淡化。这几年反技巧的出题趋势越来越明显,考试越来越重视考生的真正阅读分析能力。所以,我们一定要提前打好基础,在整个一年的复习中,每天除了做专门的阅读理解练习外,还要阅读一定量的英语报刊。据了解,考研的阅读理解很多都是摘自国外的一些著名的报纸,如美国的New York Times(纽约时报),英国的Times (泰晤士报)等等。如果能找来的话,这些都是很好的阅读材料。06年最新的4篇文章就来自于传统的核心刊物:Economist,Time,以及Newsweek,这个进一步说明考研英语文章选材来源的固定化,进而给参加2007年考研的同学也提供了一个非常好的平时选读文章的方向。在这里必须要强调一点的就是,2006年阅读理解的最后一篇文章在“英语文摘”第7期上不但已经发表,而且还附之以中文翻译。这个就告诉我们的广大考生,在我们选读国外经典杂志时也不应该忽略犹如“英语文摘”、“英语世界”等等核心的国内英语刊物。希望参加2007年的考生予以重视。而且,考研英语的阅读量越来越大,里面不但有很多考察全文的主旨题,还有很多的细节题和作者态度题,这些内容的提炼都要我们在平时的阅读中渐渐地培养,而不是靠考前一两个月就可以一蹴而就的。 与此同时,备战考试的同学还要刻意训练自己快速阅读的能力,由上下文推理的能力以及中英文翻译能力,这对于解答新题型以及翻译题都有很大的帮助。 英语语言教育包括听、说、读、写、译,但是对大多数考研的学生来说,学英语将来主要的目的是看懂国外本专业领域的英语著作,了解本专业最新发展状况。因而,在国内外各类英语考试中,阅读能力的考核越来越受到重视,难度也逐年升高,在雅思、托福测试中也是如此。所以新大纲加强阅读的考核也是顺应时代要求。阅读理解是硕士研究生入学英语考试的重中之重,这一部分要能获得高分,考生便能在考试中处于有利地位。 阅读理解部分,考生们常常碰到的困难是:理解准确率和阅读速度矛盾,往往是提高了阅读速度,理解准确率就下降,而一味要准确率时,阅读速度就恨慢。要想加快阅读速度,首先要养成正确、良好的阅读习惯。应克服如下4种不良习惯:

考研英语作文模板高分经验

先说说我的情况吧,我是十月中下旬那会才萌发考研念头滴,总是从心里认为学历关系不大。后来我一个以前严重鄙视考研的学长,后来竟用了仅半年时间,考上厦门大学法硕,我给他发了条信息说想考研,他给我回的原话“个人认为,考研只能让你升值,而不会减少你的价值,再说三个月时间你也做不了什么大事,考后也一样找工作,多给自己条备胎”(我一直保存着)遂十月中旬开始准备考研。 接着就是买英语黄皮书、专业书,政治真题,在这里提醒下师弟师妹们,一定要买最好的、一针见血的资料哦,一些资料虽然也很出名,但浪费你宝贵时间同时,学不到什么东西。比如我当时买了一本很出名的政治真题,后来发现里面的选择题讲解很多很罗嗦,但看完后你依然学不到什么,其他3个选项为啥错还是云里雾里更别提举一反三了。后来改选了高教版的政治真题,这本书的讲解一针见血,做过一遍的选择题,基本不会再错,因为她已经把你讲得理解透彻了。 废话了这么多还是归正传说说英语吧,我初中没怎么学习所以语法真是一窍不通的,英语4级考了三次才刚过线,6级考了几次现在都没过,我的英语底子确实比一般同学要差,面对只要英语不过线,其他考的再好也是白搭的残酷现实,我有点灰心,还好最后还是靠着英语作文过了法学线了,下面就具体说说吧。 3个月时间再去一点点背单词也不现实,于是我总体分析了英语试卷题型:完形10分、阅读60分(算新题型、翻译),作文30分,发现完形完全没必要花多少时间,它主要考查高级词汇、近

义(形)词、语法,对我而言下在完形下功夫真是大海捞针,每个空才0.5分,再说提高了阅读理解这个也就不难了。 阅读理解可是大部头,从实质说,考研英语就两个题型:阅读和作文,完形、新题型、翻译都是变相的阅读理解。十月中下旬那会拿到阅读理解我也是很头疼,好多单词不认识,文章根本读不懂,即使勉强能看懂题目也对不了几个,仔细研读了前辈的经验后我是这么做的:怀着一颗特别特别特别虔诚的心,踏踏实实进行精读:(1)第一遍先像考试一样,精力高度集中做第一遍(最好用铅笔做,在黄皮书薄的那本上) (2)第二遍,再通读一遍文章,把不认识的单词用笔标出,再思考下你选择的答案 (3)对答案,自己找出和命题人思路不同之处,实在想不明白就看答案详解,去琢磨详解里的每句话,把错的原因注在旁边 (4)在黄皮书(厚的那本)划出不认识的单词,背诵时看不到的地方注明词义(5)第二天晨读时朗诵N遍这篇文章,顺便带着记生词(6)如此循环往复,在近3个月时间里,反复做了4、5遍黄皮书阅读理解吧,每一遍的答案都用铅笔住在旁边了,最关键是要琢磨,琢磨命题人思路。 我发誓我对阅读理解绝对是很虔诚,很踏实,考完一对答案就傻眼了(我把阅读答案抄在准考证后面了),第一篇对了2个,第

考研英语阅读方法经典总结(非常实用)

考研阅读得基本解题思路:(四步走) 第一,扫描提干,划关键项。 第二, 通读全文,抓住中心。?1、通读全文,抓两个重点: ①首段(中心句、核心概念常在第一段,常在首段出题); ②其她各段得段首与段尾句。(其她部分略读,有重点得读) 2、抓住中心,用一分半时间思考3个问题: ①文章叙述得主要内容就是什么? ②文章中有无提到核心概念?文章得核心概念就是什么(一般就是反复出现得一个核心词) ③作者得大致态度就是什么?(就是谁对谁得态度) 第三,仔细审题,返回原文。(仔细瞧题干,把每道题与原文得某处建立联系,挂起钩) 定位原则: ①通常就是由题干出发,使用寻找关键词定位原则。(关键词:大写字母、地名、时间、数字等) ②自然段定位原则。出题得顺序与行文得顺序就是基本一致得,一般每段对应一题。 ★要树立定位意识,每一题、每一选项都要回到原文中某一处定位。 第四,重叠选项,得出答案。(重叠原文=对照原文) 1、通过题干返回原文:判断四个选项,抓住选项中得关键词,把选项定位到原文得某处 比较,重叠选项,选出答案。 2、作题练习要求:要有选一个答案得理由与其余三个不选得理由 结论性得句子需要慢读,引用说明得句子需要快读。?引用得作用有两点:1。支持自己得观点。2、批评别人论据得论点。

零基础考生考研英语阅读高分复习经验 考研英语分客观题60分(包括10分完型、40分阅读、10分新题型)和主观题40分(包括10分翻译、10分小作文、20分大作文)。主观题,视水区旱区而定,不同地区没有可比性。而客观题,答案是唯一的,不管英语想过线的还是英语想拿高分的,客观题都不能有失。下面为大家分享一位过来人的阅读复习经验,希望能够帮助大家。 ?词汇 词汇是基础,大纲词汇必须掌握。阅读中如果一句话中有一两个单词不认识,很可能导致这句话的意思搞错,甚至把整篇文章的主导思想搞错;如果问题选项中有单词不认识就更麻烦了。 说一下自己的体会,一开始做阅读练习的时候,错一大片,有时候甚至错一半,当时真是怕英语不过线,然后我痛定思痛,认真总结了阅读错的原因,我发现,是因为词汇关没过,文中一些单词不认识导致对文章关键句甚至作者的主体思想理解错误。 所以我下决心一定要攻克单词关,从论坛上学习了不少前辈的经验,受益匪浅,有一个学长说的很好,不要指望在一个地方将单词记住,关键是要在不同的地方去记忆或者练习同一个单词,我很以为然,于是去寻找快速记忆的捷径,最终搜了一款迈西背单词软件将单词过了一遍,说实话,我不推荐每个人都用软件记单词,因为不方便携带,我在电脑旁足足坚忍了20多天,每天将近2个小时,有时候眼睛都有点酸,终于将单词搞完了一轮,才长出一口气。一轮下来(其实不止一轮,因为软件有循环记忆,不熟练的单词从不同程度上重复记忆了很多次),虽然有些单词还是没有完全记住,但大致都留了一个印象,在做阅读的时候明显有了感觉,结合上下文和脑海中残留的模糊的印象,基本能猜出单词的意思,这样阅读难度就降低了许多,而且这样过后,这个单词我也基本上掌握了,可以说是一举两得。 最后做往年真题的时候,近几年的真题阅读都是错1个或全对,考研时阅读就错了1个,错的那个争议也比较大,不可强求吧。更重要的是英语掌握了得当的方法,节省了很多时间,可以投入更多的精力在数学和专业课上。 因此,要想阅读得高分,必须首先攻克单词。 ?阅读技巧 核心思想就是分块阅读。一篇阅读有5个问题,每个问题是按顺序分布的。比如说一篇阅读有5段,第一问在第一段中找答案,第二问在第二段中找,以此类推,这就是所谓的分块阅读法,分块阅读的基础就是——题目是按顺序分块设置的。至于如何在块中发现答案,要找的就是同义替换,下文中会有详细介绍。(当然诸如这篇文章的题目应选什么? 的问题除外,需要结合整篇文章作答,不过这类问题很少) 因此阅读的技巧和关键就在于通过问题分解文章,缩小每次的阅读内容,各个击破。切记不要一口气读完文章后将5个问题一齐作答,一来记不住文章的要点和细节,二来会中出题人的陷阱(干扰项其实就是在细节上做手脚),如偷梁换柱等。 阅读的方法如下: (1)扫一遍5个问题,对题干信息有个印象,看一眼就行了,不需要记住。然后按顺序精读,对含有题干信息的语句仔细阅读。另外,留意Which of thefollowing would be the best title of the test? 、The author’s attitudetowards… 这之类的问题,在分解阅读时可以顺便留意一下作者的观点态度。 (2)第一个问题,答案一般就在第一段。后面几问同理,这样整篇文章被分解成四五个部分,一部分最多三四个长句,对每个部分认真阅读,目标清晰,很容易得到正解;同时,每个部分,废话居多,真正的答案往往就其中一句话或其中一个关键短语,选对选项的关键在于找
