中国石油英语测试(中石油模拟托福)的考后留言

为了感谢从网上和线下获得了很多关于准备这个考试的信息与帮助,我把自己的心得也留下来与后来者分享,祝福大家找工作的过程中好运连连!

其实托福对我并不陌生,早在2001年10月就参加了ETS的托福考试,也取得了不错的成绩,但当时因为暑假中接受了以沙云龙为首的4大新东方名师的指导,所以考试准备显得轻松很多,更无找工作的压力了。

这一次为了中石油模拟托福,我差不多投入了3个月时间来复习准备,一是对我近3、4年来放弃英语学习的惩罚,二是托福考试如果依靠自己单打独斗,不仅入门很慢,各方面信息和资料不完整都是致命的,尤其对于考试中心的出题方式来说。

一、复习材料

大致来说,考试的复习资料包括3个方面。因为中石油是以95年改革后的托福真题为题库进行随即抽考,所以材料是最关键的第一步:

1、95年8月至2004年12月的所有国内及北美考试题(已在国内流传数年):大约48套

2、中国大百科全书出版社的《TOEFL全真试题集》,有16套题,但11套与上述材料1重复,1套访真题重复无意义,所以只有4套

3、科学出版社的《托福历年全真试题》,有16套,其中4套与上述材料1重复,1套访真题重复无意义,所以只有11套

这就是大致的复习范围,当然这都只是真题了,材料1网上可下载文字和MP3,材料3需要到中关村书店类似的地方买,有8盘磁带,材料2已经很难买到了,也有8盘磁带,所以需要的人只能去找找有05年之前参加过真正的托福考试的人了。

另外还有很多的托福机经、新东方笔记,这对复习很有帮助,知道自己错在哪里,如何更正等。这些可以在太傻论坛和gter论坛找得到。

二、复习

从具体的复习来看,

1、听力是最关键的,也是最难伺候的,很多时候都是因为听力太低没有过线。所以要反复加强听力的练习,所有真题都能达到听到即能做题的地步最好。既然是题库,你就有很大几率碰上原题的时候。另外,从提高英语实力的角度来说,听写是一个比较好的练习方法,可以坚持尝试,特别是听得很乏味的时候。

听力的准备一定会出现很恶心的时候,这时候最容易放弃自己的努力,所以你已经知道该怎么办了。听力的目标是要控制小对话(1-30题)3-9个,长对话和段子(31-50题)4-9个。

注意要适当练习外放,特别是考前几天。否则到考场上会觉得不适应。

2、语法是最挣分的,也是最容易准备的。一要多做题,所有语法真题都不要错过,很容易实现。二要多总结,这是一定的,总结自己哪里容易错,更要总结托福语法每道题都在考什么,如果你知道对方想考你什么,你就很容易识别错误了。三要看看机经,哪里有很多好的总结经验,对你做题帮助很大。复习的目标是要实现5个以内错误。

3、阅读没啥特别的,

一是背单词,托福的词重复率很高,你把所有真题中所考的单词题,只要你不会就把它记下来,估计不会超过500个,反复的背诵,应付每套托福考试十几道单词题很值得。

二是多做题,要练习速度,更是熟悉以下规律:1、主题题——找到唯一中心词(有两个就要决斗出一个);找到每段前后句在说什么;看本篇文章后的所有问题都在问一个什么词。这3种方法至少有一种凑效。2、单词题,刚才说过了。3、细节题(含指代题),一句话,“永远永远忠实于原文”,“永远永远在原文中找到证据”,如果你理解了这一条,并认真实践,相信你已经插上成功的翅膀了。

最后谈谈考试,其实中石油考试中心的老师们都很好,一是很认真负责,做事很规范严谨,也很热情的对待考生,二是考试结果反馈速度很快,一般一两天就出来结果。所以你不必担心老师为难你,重要是自己不要为难自己。

1、考前要树立信心,不管复习情况如何,相信自己会发挥得更好,心态放轻松。

2、要设想自己考试中可能遇到的各种危机,并建立对策,比如听力进入状态慢、比如语法遇到难题、比如阅读时间不够,比如存在外界干扰,比如自己太紧张等等了

3、发考题后,要迅速去看听力1-30题,要挑着看,因为一般是看不完全部的,我的经验是看13、1

4、1 6、17、21、24、2

5、2

6、2

7、2

8、30,因为这些题比较难,看完后迅速回来看1和2,准备听。如果有一道听不懂,迅速选择放弃,并读下一道题选项,因为你不读选项就听的错误概率很高。小对话题的核心的核心是什么呢?是找到一个替代词,去替换刚才的说话,即听到的一定不选,比如对话说。。。start。。,选项有begin类似的,十有八九就是。另外要注意说话者的语气,是高兴、失望。。。。,这对判断答案很有用。

4、听力的长对话和段子题,其实你可以做一点记录,因为“你能听懂的基本就是选项答案”,这与小对话题一定要严格区分开来。考场规定不允许在卷子上做任何标记(会被警告和扣分,考虑重复环保使用也建议不要),所以你可以在答题纸背面用铅笔记录,不用擦掉,因为老师会告诉你这是允许的行为。当然答案也写在后面而不在正面填涂肯定无效了。

5、语法考试过程中,切忌在难题上下太多功夫,把它在答题纸上做个标记就可以,做完阅读后再回来慢慢考虑,因为一般2个小时时间是非常宽裕的。

6、阅读的问题也不用多说了,文章不在乎看懂,而在乎你会不会做题就可以。单词题有了前面的背诵,你应该觉得做起来很爽吧,又容易又节省大量时间。主题不会可以放放,细节题一定要去找原文对应的部分,如果只是你认为自己证据充分就选择,那一定错了。你一定要自己亲眼看见证据支撑这个选项。

7、做完之后,这时如果你还有时间检查的话,除了你刚才做了标记的题要考虑外,我建议是:

听力永远不要去改它,把它忘记吧,无论好与坏,因为这时候修改是最愚蠢的事情,我知道你一定比我聪明。

语法要去看11-15、25-30、35-40题,不要觉得对了,要学会否定自己的态度去看,当然无论如何,语法就一个词“合法”,你觉得哪里不合法,就向它开炮吧。

阅读要去检查主题题和单词题,因为一个瞬间的判断极可能调用了大脑图书馆中错误的数据,重新审视一篇也会受益匪浅。当然用更多时间把语法题搞对也是明智的。

当这一切结束时,平静自己的心灵,好好休息一下吧,因为这过程太不容易。

我所说的一切绝大部分都是自己摸索出来的,很辛苦也很有收获的。复习的时候看了很多机经,这些大家都很容易找到,所以,我在上述总结中就没有再赘述了。

所有的愿望化成一个,就是走在的英语路上,永不回头,因为中国正在变成一个的国家。

感谢我的导师无限的爱护与鼓励,您在心中始终是最伟大的!感谢我的领导和同事给予我巨大的鼓励和机会,倍受恩宠。感谢我的室友忍受早起的折磨。感谢我的朋友给我力量与依靠

2013中石油职称英语考试课文详解

1.The V alue of Time时间的价值 1."Time" says the proverb "is money". This means that every moment well-spent may put some money into our pockets. If our time is usefully employed, it will either produce some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. There can thus be no doubt that time is convertible into money. Let those who think nothing of wasting time remember this; let them remember that an hour misspent is equivalent to the loss of a banknote; and that an hour utilized is tantamount to so much silver or gold; and then they will probably think twice before they give their consent to the loss of any part of their time. 1.employ v. 使用,采用,雇佣,使忙于 employer n. 雇主,老板 employee n. 雇员,从业人员 employment n. 使用,职业,雇佣 Employment rate 就业率,雇用率 2.Either …or… 要么…要么…; 二者择一的 Neither… nor… 两者都不 Both… and… 两者都 3.fetch 取来,接来,到达 4.add to增添,添加,加强 5.so as to 以便,以致 6.enable sb to do sth 使得某人做某事 7.There is no doubt that…毫无疑问 8.think nothing of… 把… 视为平常 think a lot of… 看重;对… 高度评价 9.convertible adj. 可改变的,可交换的 convert v. … into… 使转变,转换,使…改变信仰 10.be equivalent to… 11.be tantamount to…相当于…; 无异于的 If you say one thing is tantamount to another, more serious thing, you are emphasizing how bad, unacceptable, or unfortunate the first thing is by comparing it to the second thing. 例句:What Bracey is saying is tantamount to heresy. 布里斯正在说的无异于异端邪说。 12.Think twice再三考虑,重新考虑 think twice about doing sth. 三思而后再决定做某事 13.Give one’s consent(n.)to sth…同意,赞成 例句:At approximately 11:30 p.m., pollard finally gave his consent to the search. 大约晚上11:30的时候,波拉得终于对搜查予以同意。

2018年中国石化校园招聘考试内容历年真题

中国石化招聘笔试历年真题汇总整理题目实际上是不难的,但要有针对性的复习,多练题目是肯定的!建议报考的同学提前做好复习准备,考试资料可以到“易壹考资料网”上面找找,资料确实不错,资料都是上次参加考试的学长们精心整理出来的,比较有针对性,大家可以去了解一下! 中国石化笔试经验分享一: 中石化的笔试历来都是当场给分的,所以基本上大家考完以后都知道自己是否有希望进入下一轮,先说说楼主的情况,我考了90分,总体说来这个分数还是出乎我的意料之外的 这次一共是61个题,90分钟,因为最后20分钟是心理测试,所以真正做题的时间只有70分钟。 言语理解里病句和排序的题型偏多,这个我做的还可以,我其实特别怕填词类的题目,但是中石化的这个不算特别难,顶多是找同义词替换之类的,病句小学初中练的比较多了,基本凭语感就可以做,排序需要一点技巧,好在题不算很难。 数学题没啥说的,这个就是速度要快,我基本上没有思路的就放弃了,印象最深的有一题题目老长,是讲股票还是啥的,我直接蒙了个C。 还有一类数学题是四则运算的,看到这题才知道为啥不让用计算器了,其实这个我基本没啥思路,就是靠硬算,因为有些题其实你去想简便方法想个30秒不一定能想出来,但是老老实实去算花个1分钟就肯定可以算出来,所以不要没想出来就放弃,只要笔头快,还是可以做的。 逻辑推理题就和行测里面的非常像了,什么六面体问题,一笔画两笔画问题,这个不练是做不好的,我看的八九不离十,个别题不会做。 比较有趣的是今年有很多杠杆和齿轮的问题,如果高中是学文科的同学估计要吃点亏,其实也不算特别难,高中物理学的好的话基本是秒答。 材料分析,哎,这个基本送分,和国考的分析比起来太简单了,而且材料分析题是一题两分,我估计就是这块做的好所以分数拉上去了,因为大多数的题是比大小,稍微加一下就可以了,都不用涉及去年和今年的增减幅问题。 今年没考英语,我很多同学直到进考场之前都不知道,所以说看官方公告很重要啊,题目改成了创新思维,其实这类题国考是不考的,个别公司的在线测评会涉及,这

The schools, as well as the mountain itself, are named after Martha Berry herself, a daughter of a Georgian mountaineer. Martha Berry was born in 1866. Luckier than most Georgian mountain children, she received an education. But she never forgot other children of the mountains whose parents couldn't afford to send them to school. In 1902 Martha Berry started a school for these children It was housed in a single small log cabin and was attended by only five pupils. Now, eighty years later, there are a score of Berry schools in the area, with a total of over one thousand students and waiting list of about five thousand.

UNIT 1 How to be Happy如何获得幸福 In the past two weeks we have looked at the happiness formula defined by positive psychologist Martin Seligman, where H (happiness) = S (your biological set point for feeling happy) + C (the conditions of your life) + V (the voluntary choices you make). This week we look at the conditions in life that can improve our happiness quotient. 过去两周我们研究了一项幸福公式,这是由乐观心理学家马丁·塞利格曼定义的。在这个公式中,H(幸福)=S(个人生理幸福感受的固定指数)+C(个人生活状态)+V(个人主观选择)。本周我们将着眼于能提升幸福指数的生活状态。 Step 1: Peace and quiet Jonathon Haidt in his excellent book, The Happiness Hypothesis, notes that research shows that we can never completely adapt to new or chronic noise pollution. Loud noises trigger one of our most primitive fear responses (the other is the fear of falling) and we can never fully relax if we are surrounded by intrusive noise. It is essential to have some peace and quiet every day. If you are unfortunate enough to live somewhere noisy, persist with complaining to your local council. Additionally, try wearing wax earplugs to have some respite. If you need your TV, radio or music up loud, wearing headphones demonstrates altruism to your neighbours, which will make you and them feel good. 第一步:平和宁静乔纳森·海迪在他的优秀著作《幸福假说》当中提到,研究调查显示,我们不可能完全适应噪音污染,无论是新近的还是长期的。巨大噪声会引发我们面对恐惧的某种本能反应(另一种是对于坠落的恐惧),如果周遭噪音喧闹,我们不可能完全放松。每日保持平和与宁静事关重要。如果你不幸生活在比较嘈杂的环境中,请一定要坚持去居委会投诉。另外,尝试使用耳塞,可能会缓解噪声。如果你需要用大音量看电视、听收音机或放音乐的话,记得戴上耳机,别影响邻里,这样可以使双方都感到舒适。 Step 2: Relationships This is the most important of all the external conditions that can improve your happiness quotient. Often our deepest sources of unhappiness are found in poor relationships with others. A cruelly conflictual relationship with a partner or lover leaves us feeling betrayed and abandoned. A relationship with our parents or children which is not based on compassionate, unconditional regard creates isolation and misery. When faced with such relationships, the most positive thing we can do is to either mend the relationship by confronting what is going wrong or learn to move on. 第二步:人际关系这是增加幸福指数的一条至关重要的外部条件。我们感到不快乐的最深层原因,往往就是人际关系欠佳。与搭档或者爱人的关系陷入激烈的冲突中,会让我们产生遭到背叛和遗弃的感觉。父母和孩子之间如果缺乏同情心和无私关怀,会产生隔阂与痛苦。当我们面临这类问题时,最好的办法就是直面难题,修复关系,或者学着继续前行。 Step 3: Share If you have discovered conditions or choices in life that have significantly improved your wellbeing, remember to share them with friends. Passing on what works is essential to improve the wellbeing of our own and others. 第三步:分享如果你发觉生活状态或者做的某项决定对幸福生活有重大帮助的话,记得与你的朋友们分享。将有用的发现与更多人分享,这对增进自己的幸福和他人的幸福都有积极作用。 1.What's the happiness formula according to the passage?(The formula refers to H (happiness) = S (your biological set point for feeling happy) + C (the conditions of your life) + V (the voluntary choices you make).) 2. Why can we never completely adapt to new or chronic noise pollution?(Loud noises trigger one of our most primitive fear responses and we can never fully relax if we are surrounded by intrusive noise.) 3. How could we make both ourselves and the neighbors feel good?(If we need our TV, radio or music up loud, wearing headphones demonstrates our kindness and can do is to either mend the relationship by confronting what is going wrong or learn to move on.) 1.吵闹的邻居的确对我们家庭不和(domestic upset)有很大影响。Noisy neighbors are one of the major causes of domestic upset. 2.在职场上,如果一个同事对我们表示威吓的话,会造成难以言表的抑郁情绪(unwretchedness)。A colleague at work who bullies or dismisses us creates untold wretchedness. 3.我们不可能适应这种敌对关系,这种不良的人际关系会损害身心健康。We can never fully adapt to hostile relationships, which inevitably damage our wellbeing. 4.如果这种坏情绪长时间留在人们的心里,会让人陷入无法解决的恶性心理困境。If this bad mood stays inside our mind, it will lead us to an unresolved destructive depression. 5.我们不应当回避这些问题,而是要正确面对它们。We should not avoid these problems but face them instead. There are many benefits to being happy. Happier people tend to be healthier, live longer and eam more. They also tend to volunteer more, be better at relationships and smile more of w hat psychologists call “Duchenne" or genuine smiles. What is less well understood is why happiness is contagious. 幸福有许多好处。越幸福的人往往越健康、越长寿、挣的钱越多。他们通常也会从事更多的志愿工作、更善于处理人际关系、发出更多心理学家所说的“杜兴微笑”,即真诚的微笑。我们了解不深的是,为什么幸福可以传染。 According to James Fowler and Nicholas Christakis, authors of the international bestseller Connected, people surrounded by many happy friends, family members and neighbours who are central to their social network become significantly happier in the future. More specificallyi they say we will become 25 per cent happier with our life if a friend who lives within a mile of us becomes significantly happier with his or her life. 全球畅销书《关联》的作者詹姆斯·福勒和尼古拉斯·克里斯塔基斯发现,如果你身边那些重要的人际网络中有许多幸福的朋友、家人与邻居,那么你将也会很幸福。他们表示,更准确地说,如果居住在离你1英里内的一个朋友生活幸福感得到显著提升,你的生活幸福感就会增加25%。 Similar effects are seen in co-resident spouses (8 per cent happier); siblings who live within a mile of each other (14 per cent); and next-door neighbours (34 per cent). What this implies is that the magnitude of happiness spread seems to depend more on frequent social contact (due to physical proximity) than on deep social connections. Alas, for some reason this doesn't translate to the workplace. 具有同样效果的还有同居配偶(幸福感提升8%)、居住在1英里之内的兄弟姐妹(14%)和邻居(34%)。这意味着,幸福传播的强度似乎更取决于交往的频繁度(与地域邻近相关),1而不是社会关系的深度。可惜由于某种原因,这并不适用于工作场合。 So, why is happiness contagious? One reason may be that happy people share their good fortune with their friends and family (for example, by being pragmatically helpful or financially generous). Another reason could be that happy people tend to change their behaviour for the better by being nicer or less hostile to those close to them. Or it could just be that positive emotions are highly contagious. 那么,为什么幸福能够传染?一个原因或许是,幸福的人会与亲朋好友分享好运气(例如,提供实际的帮助,或在经济上慷慨解囊)。另一个原因可能是,幸福的人往往会改善自己的行为,会对周围的人更加友好,或减少敌意。又或许只是因为正面情绪具有高度传染性。
