Unit5
You see that young man swimming out at sea? He’s trying to swim out to the beacon and back. He must be insane to have committed himself to such a thing. The current is far too strong. To be candid, I wouldn’t attempt it .I dare say few swimmers are capable of such a feat. I met him on the beach before he set out . I don’t mind telling you that I was take aback when he told me what he was going to do, because he didn’t look in good condition at all.
Far from it. He may have had a good constitution once, but he had clearly let himself go all to pieces. However, it seems like he had no choice. He told me that he had gone broke,not a penny left, and that old Burton would only find him a vacancy in his firm if he did the swim. That was another surprise. Burton seems such a mild-mannered man, kind to everybody. Perhaps he thought the young man would not have the courage, that he would funk it. That ,again,perhaps Burton know he was sending the young man to his death, but was too cold-blooded to care. It only goes to show how deceptive appearances can be.
Unit 6
Can you switch off from the cares of life and relax? Many people today cannot . They feel instead that they are obliged to be on the go all the time. The pace of life seems to grow ever faster. As a result, feelings of stress are common as people struggle to cope with what they see as a shortage of time. Such widespread feeling are in part caused by the large quantity of information that comes pouring in on us.”all men,”said Aristotle,”by nature desire to know. ” but it is no longer possible, as it was in the past, for an individual to master the whole range of human knowledge. Instead, any individual, no matter how smart he is, can only command a fraction of the total knowledge available,It may be argued that it is futile to even attempt to do so. We should learn to set more realistic goals for ourselves if we are to hope to escape from the tyranny of time.
Unit 7
Corky Siemaszko’s snapshots provide us with an insight into the mood of the American people following the tragic events of 9/11. They start with two pieces written in the immediate aftermath of the attack. These clearly reveal the state of chaos into which New Yorkers felt they had been plunged by the toppling of the twin towers. Balancing widespread feeling of shock came the welling up of a strong sense of solidarity with each other in the face of a common enemy. Together with this came a natural desire to take revenge on those responsible. A year later the snapshots reveal a city and a nation thinking back on the fateful events of 9/11 while mourning those who perished in the attacks.
Unit 8
If you are dying to find out what it is like in the heart of the tropical jungle, you should make a trip on the river. This is better than walking through the trials in the forest, as these are often blocked by undergrowth that gets tangled in your feet and makes traveling difficult. In a dugout canoe, you can sit back and enjoy the scenery while the guide paddles it along the rivers that loop their way through the forest. Everywhere you go, you can hear the clatter of birds, hidden out of sight, deep in the jungle. At other times, they are clearly visible,circling in flocks overhead. And you can also see some of them hopping about in the clearings and others glide on the opaque waters. But birds are not the only wildlife. From time to time, you can spot enormous black fish thrashing about in shallow water. Or if you look closely enough, you can see some small animals darting in and out of the bushes. Indeed, the whole jungle swarms with a huge variety of animal life, guaranteed to make your trip a spectacular event that you will never forget.

滴水渐累成沧海，拳石频移成泰山祝大家顺利过级 第一部分.听力部分 一、听力内容 1．Section A 对话 短对话 (5分02秒) 8个对话： 4分12秒 长对话 (5分58秒) Conversation 1 (4 questions)：对话内容（1分45秒）＋问题（1分25秒）Conversation 2 (3 questions)：对话内容（1分45秒）＋问题（1分02秒） 2．Section B 短文(10分05秒) Directions： 35秒 Passage 1 (3 questions)：文章内容（1分25秒）＋问题（1分10秒） Passage 2 (3 questions)：文章内容（2分25秒）＋问题（1分10秒） Passage 3 (4 questions)：文章内容（1分45秒）＋问题（1分55秒） 3．Section C 复合式听写 (11分20秒) Directions： 45秒 第一遍： 2分10秒 第二遍：第一句停顿：1分05秒 第二句停顿：1分35秒 第三句停顿：1分15秒 第三遍：2分10秒 （以上时间根据文章内容会有所变化） 二、听力技巧 四级听力一直困扰着我们每一位考生，听不懂磁带中的内容是什么，不知道该如何选择，而听力在英语四级考试中又占很大一部分比重，掌握好英语四级听力技巧才能快速提高英语成绩，以下总结出几点有关英语四级听力技巧。 听力技巧一：学会取舍，理解内容 听力考试中最忌讳的就是词词计较，力求听懂所有词。其实，听懂所有词首先没必要，其次也不可能。我们在日常生活中听中文时，无论听什么，注意力都不会在每一个字或词上面，而是对文段或对话内容的整体的理解上。何况我们听的是英文，在英文句子中，对不同的词本身就有弱读和重读。 听力技巧二：扫视材料，预测内容 当广播中朗读听力要求时，我们要充分利用这个时间，迅速扫视书面文字中的题干及选项，通过扫视联系上下文，有根据地预测文段发生的时间、场所、人物，并预测出谈话的大致内容。并且，在扫视中我们对提出的问题尤其要注意。这样做的结果是听录音时我们可以有的放矢，做到有备而来，心中有数。 听力技巧三：注重首句，抓住主旨 在听长文段时，由于信息多，而且听力不同于阅读，朗读速度非常快，需要我们快速做出反应，所以在听的时候就更应当注意主旨大意。在阅读中我们知道作者一般会在首句或首 2

大学英语四级考试资料很详细
英语四级复习大全 第一章听力理解 第一节听力题型改革概述 听力比例由原来的20%提升到35%：短对话部分由原来的10题减至8题；增加两篇长对话，题量在3至4题每篇，一共7题；短文(俗称“段子题”)仍为3篇，题量在3至4题每篇，一共10题；复合式听写保持不变。以上4个听力部分中，短对话和长对话的分值一共占15%，而短文和复合式听写的分值一共占20%。听力题材涉及的范围更加广泛，形式灵活多样，包括对话、讲座、广播电视节目等等。 第二节听力题型概述及应试策略 一、关于对话题 (一) 长短对话听力题改革与分析 1. 听力短对话部分虽然由原先的10题改为8题，但就其题目特点与解题思路而言与以往的老题型没有太大的差异。这些题目一如既往地贯彻了以往的几大常见考点： ·转折引起的作者态度及谈论重点的变化； ·对现象原因的阐述与补充； ·反问句式、反意疑问句式的考察：反问和反意疑问在四级考试中永远以一种无疑而问的形式出现，这次依然用了这样的一个形式。因此，只要能很好把握其“无疑而问”的特点，就能方便解题。当然也应该注意到，反问句往往作为加强语气的建议句型出现的这一考点。 ·建议句型的考察：建议句型往往是比较复杂的考点之一，因为句型相对比较多，而且隐蔽性比较强。 ·场景、人物关系的推测； ·语音语调的考察。 综上所述，试点考试将依然遵循以往的考试规律和特点，一脉相承。但所谓的短对话却也越来越长，这也体现了现在考试在句型句式、言外之意和内容复杂化三个方面的发展趋势。 2. 听力长对话并不可怕，它结合了短对话对问答句式，建议请求，和关键场景赐予的考察和长段子对文章层次和理解能力的要求。所以做这样的题目往往需要具备综合的素质，既要注意其中的细节，又要注意整体的把握，还要能够应付7道题目的题量，这比以往的四级题目对综合能力的要求显著提高了。 (二) 长短对话听力技巧 应注意以下几点： 1. 提前阅读选项，判断问题所属，从而集中精力于有关信息。 2. 注意根据信息词汇判断地点和说话人的身份职业等。 当同学们看到四个地点和职业名词时，大脑中就应该马上出现与这些地点或职业相关的一系列词语，在听的过程中注意提到了什么信息词语，这样就可轻松地判断谈话发生的地点，说话人的职业或身份，以及谈话双方的关系。 为此，同学们有必要了解与各种职业和地点行业有关的信息词汇，如： 饭店：menu, order, waitress, waiter, take order, go Dutch, It's my treat等；

大学英语四级备考笔记
2015 年大学英语四级备考笔记：选词填空之解题步骤本题型出现在阅读部分（共40 分钟），在长篇阅读文章之前。所以本题型共10 道小题最佳完成时间应控制在7 分钟。 考试要求在7 分钟左右时间内将题目给出的15 个词汇填入10 个空格中。考试形式与传统考题的完形填空相似。 选词填空，当然是考词汇。但较之以往专门的词汇题，选词填空是对词汇更完全的更高层次的考察;因为它所考察的，是在篇章中对词汇的把握。 考核的主要目的是检查考生在上下文中猜测词义的能力以及单词词性识别能力。 遇到生词怎么办?时间不够怎么办?考前训练时注意培养以上两种能力，考试时加以运用，会大大提高答中率。 篇章词汇理解是大学英语四级考试中出现的一种老题型，这种题是在一篇长度为220 个单词的文章中留出10 个单词的空格，要求考生从15 个备选单词中选出10 个填入空格处，使文章语句通畅，表达正确。 测试重点：考生对连贯性一致性及逻辑关系等语篇语段的整体特征以及单词在实际语境中的理解。既考查宏观结构，又考查微观理解。 15 个单词中3 个名词正确答案+1 个名词干扰答案、3 个动词正确答案+1 个动词干扰答案、 3 个形容词正确答案+2 个形容词干扰答案、 1 个副词正确答案 +1 个副词干扰答案。 解题步骤： 通读全文，抓住中心（首段，首句原则） 阅读选项，词性分类（注意分析动词时态） 全盘考虑，灵活选择（根据所需词性缩小范围，每词只能用一次）复读全文，核查答案（快速复读，用语感判断是否通顺准确）大学英语四级备考笔记：选词填空之答题技巧一答题技巧一： 确定空白处词性以下情况，空白处为动词： 1 n./pron. vt. n./pron. 前有名后有名，中间谓动 2 n./pron. vi. 前名后无名，谓动不及物 3 n./pron. vi. adv./prep. 前名后介副，谓动不及物 4 n./pron. link v./be adj. 前名后形容，be 动或系动 5 to v. 前有to ，后原型注意：确定空白处为动词，还需根据上下文确定正确 形式以下情况，空白处为分词： 过去分词： 1has/have/had p.p（完成时态） 2be p.p（被动语态） 3p.p n. 或n. p.p（过去分词做形容词，表示被动或已发生）现在分词： 1be -ing（进行时态） 2-ing n. 或n.-ing（现在分词做形容词，表示主动或正在进行） 3prep. -ng（介词宾语） 以下情况，空白处为名词： （名词通常做主语或动词介词宾语） 1a/the n. 前有冠词
