征服大学英语四级考试(阅读篇)

(一)存在问题

第一,读不懂

所谓读不懂,就是考生拿过文章,满头雾水,即使硬着头皮读文章,也是一知半解。然后匆忙做体,仅凭感觉去蒙,因此做体准确率必然不高。

第二,读不快

读不快表现为,文章读完了,题也做完了,但往往是比考试要求多用15乃至20多分钟的时间。于是影响了其他问题的有效解答。匆忙起笔,必然影响整个四级的考试成绩。

第三,做不对

就是虽然文章也读懂了,但是一做题就错。

(二)解决办法

第一、掌握正确的阅读方法

考生平时阅读一般会采取良种阅读方法。一种是先看文章后看问题;另一种是先看问题,带着问题读文章。那么究竟哪一种方法比较好呢?笔者认为还是先看问题后读文章比较好。原因在于,先看问题,你可以熟悉出题人的出题角度。并且有题干,你可以划出题干的关键词,特别是四级考试中有一类题目属于“指代题或词汇题”,如下所示:

(一)词汇题

显著问法:the word “XXXX”(line X, part X) most probably means?

(二)指代题

显著问法:

1.代词指代:the pronoun“it/those/that/them”(line X, part X) refers to ?

2.名词指代:the word “XXXX”(line X, part X) refers to ?

先看问题后刊文章的好处就在于,可以通过问题先把上述“核心词”在原文中划出,然后再读文章的过程中,一旦独到,注意历史高度集中的,这样有助于提高做题的准确性。由此得出正确的阅读方法就是“五步阅读法”:

第一步,扫描题干抓关键。

即首先看选项,划出题干中的的关键词。题干关键词包括:数字、人名地名、专有名词、引号里的词语等等。

第二步,快速浏览全文,把握文章主旨大意标重点。

即快速浏览文章。在快速浏览文章的时候,不需要每一个单词和句子都读得懂,没有时间也没有这个必要。在第二步的过程中,考生们所要做的就是首先弄清楚这篇文章的中心思想是什么;其次,用笔在试卷上面标记出考试要考的重点。那么很多考生就会问,如何把握文章的主旨大意,如何标记文章的重点呢?解答如下:

首先,把握文章的主旨大意。

要解决这个问题,需要分两步走。第一步,仔细阅读文章的首末段的首末句。因为英语文章段落结构上面我已经讲过。此外,西方人说话向来喜欢开门见山。所以英语文章段落70%都是一上来交待作者的写作目的或意图。第二步,要仔细阅读其他个段落的首句。然后把这两步综合起来,英语文章的主旨大意就可以把握住。

其次,如何标注文章的重点。英语文章的重点主要有以下几点:

1.强转折:通常由“but, yet, however”引导。因为转折的作用一般来说是对前面的否定,对后面的肯定,因此转折词后面引导的成分往往是出题人容易出题的地方。特别是在文章中出现but。

2.比较处:通常形式为“more/less---than---”。比较的作用在于通过比较突出某一点。比如more A than B的结构中,很显然是强调A,那么考生直接在A处划线,重点关注A就可以了。以此类推,less A than B,很显然是强调B,那么就直接在B处化线。它们是出题人喜欢出题的地方。

3.主旨句、主题句。这两个概念在上面写作部分我已经讲过。因为他们是高度概括性的句子,直接反映出作者的写作目的和意图,因此也是出题人的出题点。

另外还有因果句、特殊以文具、独立成段句、长难句乃至特殊标点符号等,都是需要考生在第一遍阅读时候,要划出的重点。

第一部分、语法讲义

2003年6月的四级考试题型变革,把长期以来作为重点考查的语法减至一题。非谓语动词、虚拟语气、关系代词、时态语态等等这些长期以来考点已经被打入冷宫。之后的考试语法题基本消失。我们在配置自

己的有限备考时间也应有所调整。

语法之于英语学习的重要性实际上并没有如何降低,在语言知识运用(完形填空等)、作文、阅读长难句分析方面起到的作用是不可替代的。因此我们要抓住复习的重点,集中突破在各个题型最容易出问题的语法点。

该部分将主要结合阅读理解长难句分析来快速掌握语法的精髓。很多时候,我们准确定位之后,由于和问题相关的句子长、难,造成最终理解错误而选错答案,这非常可惜,连前面定位的时间都浪费了。能

否快速有效的抓住定位句子的主干大意和次要细节实际已经成为阅读分数高低的一个关键问题。

第一节、解决四级英语长难句的意义

1、阅读,抓不住句子重点,在一个句子上浪费太多时间。最后根据不完整的理解,碰运气乱猜答案。

2、翻译,提笔不知从哪里下手;胡乱写几行,卷面乱,不知所云,影响印象分。

(一)长难句到底难在哪里?--几句废话般的常识。

1)结构复杂,逻辑层次多;

2)单词意思常需根据上下文判断;

3)代词的指代关系复杂;

4)并列成分多;

5)修饰语多,特别是后置定语很长;

6)习惯搭配。

注:以上情况有可能单独出现,更多是“团伙作案”。

(二)长难句的破解的几个基本要点

·把握规律(按照所讲的基本方法)

·充分利用现有语法、词汇知识,提高知识的产出效率。

·破解核心是化繁为简,化难为易。

(三)长难句解决的具体步骤

1、抓主干

2、理顺主从句子关系。

(四)分析句子成分的详细过程

1)找出全句主谓宾或主系表,即句子的主干;

2)找出句中所有的谓语结构、非谓语结构、介词短语和从句的引导词;

3)分析从句和短语的功能,例如,是否为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句或状语从句等;以及词,短语和从句之间的关系;

4)分析句子中是否有固定词组或固定搭配、插入语等其他成分大学英语四级经典词组

◆◇词汇的考查重点

1、动词,名词与介词的搭配如:popular/patient+with;yield/solution/adapt/transfer/access+to;accuse/require+of;charge+for;under+discussion等等。

2、习惯用法如:confess to/set about/be used to +doing;

be supposed to/have/make sb.+do等。

3、由同一动词构成的短语如:come,go,set,break 等构成的短语。

4、单个的动词,抽象名词,形容词和副词多以近义词、同义词的形式出现。

5、介词短语在句中作状语如:in terms of;with the exception of;in vain等,另外还应注意rather than,other than,such as,none/nothing+but等词在考题中的出现。

6、近年来考题中的新趋势为:若干考点混合出现:一些交际用语也时常出现在考题中。

◆◇猜词技巧

阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落有着互相制约的关系。我们可以利用语境(各种已知信息、推测、判断某些生词的词义,主要线索如下:一.针对性解释

针对性解释是作者为了更好的表达思想,在文章中对一些重要的概念、难懂的术语或词汇等所作的解释。这些解释提供的信息具有明确的针对性,利用它们猜词义比较容易。

1.根据定义猜测词义

如果生词是句子或段落所解释的定义,理解句子或段落本身就是推断词义。例如:anthropology is the scientific study of man、由定义可知,anthropology就是“研究人类的科学”。

In slang the term"jam"constitutes a state of being in which a person finds himself or herself in a difficult situation、同样,从上下文的定义可知jam一词在俚语中的意思是“困境”。

定义句的谓语动词多为:be,mean,deal with,be considered,to be,refer to,be called,be known as,define,represent,signify,constitute 等。

2.根据复述猜测词义

虽然复述不如定义那样严谨、详细,但是提供的信息足以使读者猜出生词词义。复述部分可以是适当词、短语或是从句。

同位语

"Semantics,the study of the meaning of words,is necessary if you are tospeak and read intelligently、"

此例逗号中短语意为“对词意进行研究的学科”。该短语与前面生词semanties是同位关系,因此我们不难猜出semanties指“语义学”。在复述中构成同位关系的两部分之间多用逗号连接,有时也使用破折号,冒号,分号,引号,和括号等。

Capacitance,or the ability to store electric charge,is one of the most common characteristics of electronic circuits。

由同位语我们很快猜出生词capacitance词义---电容量。需要注意的是:同位语前常有or,similarly,that is to say,in other words,namely,or other, say i、e、等副词或短语出现。

定语从句

Krabacber suffers from SAD,which is short for seasonal affective disorder,a syndrome

characterized by severe seasonal mood swings、根据生词SAD后面定语从句which is short for seasonal affective disorder和同位语a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings,我们可以推断出SAD含义,即“季节性情绪紊乱症”。

3.根据举例猜测词义

恰当的举例能够提供猜测生词的重要线索,例如:The consequences of epochal events such as wars and great scientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical area as they were in the past、

句中“战争”和“重大科学发现”是生词的实例,通过它们我们可以猜出epochal的大致词义“重要的”,这与其确切含义“划时代的”十分接近。

二.内在逻辑关系

根据内在逻辑关系推测词义是指运用语言知识分析和判断相关信息之间存在的逻辑关系,然后根据逻辑关系推断生词词义或大致义域。

1.根据对比关系猜测词义

在一个句子或段落中,有对两个事物或现象进行对比性的描述,我们可以根据生词或难词的反义词猜测其词义。例如:

Andrew is one of the most supercilious men I know、His brother,in contrast,is quite humble and modest、

该例中supercilious对许多人来说可能是个生词,但是句中短语in contrast,

(相对照的,相对比的、可以提示我们supercilious和后面词组humble and modest(谦卑又谦虚、是对比关系。分析出这种关系后,我们便能猜出supercilious 意为“目空一切的,傲慢的”。

表示对比关系的词汇和短语主要是unlike,not,but,however,despite,in spite of,in contrast和while 引导的并列句等。

“A good supervisor can recognize instantly the adept workers from the unskilled ones、”该句中并未出现上面提到的表示对比关系的词或短语,但是通过上下文可以判断出句子前后是对比关系,即把熟练工人与非熟练工人区分开。这时我们也能够推断出生词adept的词义,“熟练的”。

2.根据比较关系猜测词义同对比关系相反,比较关系表示意义上的相似关系,例如:

“Green loves to talk,and his brothers are similarly loquacious、”

该句中副词similarly表明短语loves to talk与生词loquacious之间的比较关系。以此可以推断出loquacious词义为“健谈的”。

表示比较关系的词和短语主要是similarly,like,just as,also等。

3.根据因果关系猜测词义

在句子或段落种,若两个事物、现象之间构成因果关系,我们可以根据这种逻辑关系推知生词词义。例如:“Tom is considered an autocratic administrator because he makes decisions without seeking the opinions of others、”

根据原因状语从句的内容,我们可以推断出生词autocratic指“独断专行的”。

There were so many demonstrators in the Red Square that he had to elbow his way through the crowd、

此句为结果状语从句,根据从句的描书“许多示威者”,我们便可推知elbow的词意“挤,挤过”。

4.根据同义词的替代关系猜测词义

在句子或段落种,我们可以利用熟悉的词语,根据语言环境推断生词词义。例如:

“Although he often had the opportunity,Mr、Tritt was never able to steal money from a customer、This would have endangered his position at the bank,and he did not want to jeopardize his future、”

作者为避免重复使用endanger一词,用其同义词jeopardize来替代它,由此推知其词义为“使、、、、、、陷入危险、危及、危害”。

“Doctors believe that smoking cigarettes is detrimental to your health、They also regard drinking as harmful、”

句中detrimental四个生词,但判断出harmful替代detrimental后,不难推断出其词义为“不利的,有害的”。

三.外部相关因素

外部相关因素是指篇章(句子或段落、以外的其他知识。有时仅靠分析篇章内在逻辑关系无法猜出词义。

这时,就需要运用生活经验和普通常识确定词义。例如:Husband:it‘s really cold out tonight、

Wife:Sure it is、My hands are practically numb、

How about lighting the furnace?

根据生活经验,天气寒冷时,手肯定是“冻僵的,冻得麻木的”。

The snake slithered through the grass、

根据有关蛇的生活习性的知识,我们可以推断出slither 词义为“爬行”。

四.在猜测词义过程中,除了使用上面提到的一些技巧,我们还可以依靠构词方面的知识,从生词本身猜测词义。

1.根据前缀猜测词义

例:He fell into a ditch and lay there, semiconscious,for a few minutes、

根据词根conscious(清醒的,有意识的、,结合前缀semi(半,部分的,不完全的、,我们便可猜出semiconscious词义“半清醒的,半昏迷的”。

I‘m illiterate about such things、

词根literate意为“有文化修养的,通晓的”,前缀il 表示否定,因此illiterate指“一窍不通,不知道的”。

2.根据后缀猜测词义

例:Insecticide is applied where it is needed、后缀cide表示“杀者,杀灭剂”,结合大家熟悉的词根insect(昆虫、,不难猜出insecticide意为“杀虫剂”。Then the vapor may change into0droplets、

后缀let表示“小的”,词根0drop指“滴,滴状物”。将两个意思结合起来,便可推断出0droplet词义“小滴,微滴”。

3.根据复合词的各部分猜测词义

例:Growing economic problems were highlighted by a slowdown in oil output、

Hightlight或许是一个生词,但是分析该词结构后,就能推测出其含义。它是由high(高的,强的、和light (光线、两部分组成,合在一起便是“以强光照射,使突出”的意思。

Bullfight is very popular in Spain、

Bull(公牛、和fight(打,搏斗、结合在一起,指一种在西班牙颇为流行的体育运动---斗牛。

访英语四、六级考试成绩优秀者魏国超

黄诗燕

众所周知,英语四、六级考试对与大学生来说,意义非凡。很多大学生为此努力了十几载,苦苦地探索成功之路。如今英语四、六级考试进行改革,大致题型同于往年,但仍存在异同处。为了帮助广大华农学子积累经验,在英语四、六级中考出好成绩,校会学习部特地组织了这次活动------采访英语四六级考试中取得优秀成绩的学生,了解他们的学习心得,为广大学生树立榜样。这次我的采访对象是资环学院06环境工程的魏国超师兄,他是资环学院学生会的副主席,英语成绩很优秀,高中时读的是英语2,基础很扎实,大一就考了四级,成绩是574分,大二就已考了六级,成绩是563分。下面就让我们一起去取经吧,Let’s go!

今天我们的采访主题是英语四、六级考试经验,内容主要分为五个方面:听力方面、词汇方面、作文方面、阅读方面、考试与复习方面。(下面“黄”代表采访者黄诗燕,“魏”代表采访对象魏国超师兄。)

黄:师兄,你好,我是校会学习部的黄诗燕,很高兴认识你。今天我们的主题是有关英语四、六级考试的经验。下面开始我们的话题吧。

魏:没问题,开始吧。

一、听力方面:

黄:首先是有关听力方面的,现在这段时间来说,真题和模拟题听力,哪种更好?如果时间允许的话,是否有必要听考试题型之外的素材?

魏:其实我做过模拟题,真题我没做过。

黄:那你觉得模拟题怎么样?贴不贴近考试?

魏:一般吧,不过你说到听力我觉得听真题还是很有用的,模拟和真题都可以做,但是真题不仅要做,而且要经常听,因为要习惯真题的语速和语音。想考好,当然要多听!

黄:那你觉得有没有必要听一些课外素材的听力?魏:关于课外的素材的话,我建议多听听英文电台,如VOA、BBC之类的。推荐一个网站吧https://www.wendangku.net/doc/601303817.html,

黄:那你大概几天听一次?还是每天都听?

魏:做听力题的话当然是有一个比较固定的频率。但泛听的话,就可以随时听,主要是培养感觉。我的频率啊,一个星期两三次吧。

黄:恩,还有,在做听力的时候应该如何把握关键词呢?

魏:首先,要搞清楚什么是关键词,比如说前面的那些选择题,被选答案里那些名词啊,就是每个答案相异的地方。

黄:哦,答案中的关键词。那对话中的呢?

魏:也是啊对话中提到的词和答案比较嘛,一般要不一样,要不相近,要不完全相反。

黄:那在做听力短文时,是仔细听懂短文的意思再做题目,还是一边听短文一边做?

魏:首先在时间允许的条件下,要先把题目扫一遍,对一些比较关键的词,在脑子里要有印象,听的过程就专心地听,这是我的习惯。

黄:做听力的时候时间很紧,应该是一边听一边做吧?

魏:一两题简单的可以,但是有些题是要理解概括的,就要听完才可以选。

黄:哦,视题目而定。

魏:我个人觉得还是要听完再做比较好,不过也是需要比较好的基础。所以呢,要在练习中培养速记的能力,无论是笔头的还是用脑。

二、词汇方面:

黄:那我们转入下一part? 是关于词汇方面的。我们都知道,新题型中词汇和结构都已经取消了,有同学问到,是不是不用背词汇呢?你有何看法?

魏:背单词是永远都要做得,词汇题目没了,还有阅读,有完型,有改错,甚至听力里都是。

黄:那你有没有花很多时间在这方面上?

魏:其实有,但也可以说没有。词汇量是一个积累的过程,可以说我初中就开始了。

黄:很多同学都想把单词好好背一下,但是对于即将参加考试的学生来说感觉时间上真的不宽裕,面对这种情况应该怎么做呢?

魏:边做题边背,因为题里面会出现你背过得的或没见过的,多跟他们见见面就好了。短期内只能是这样,有时侯做题也是靠感觉的。就是做题的时候要留心那些不会的单词,尤其是四级词汇书里的那些。

三、作文方面:

黄:恩。继续继续,谈谈作文方面的吧

魏:作文就是要多看范文啊。

黄:哦,你觉得写作文的时候套用模块有没有用呢?如果套用固定的模式,能不能拿到高分呢?

魏:套用得好,分不会低,但还是要有自己的亮点,比如你的用词啊,句式啊……

黄:那高分作文的共同优点在哪?

魏:结构清晰,用词恰当,中心明确,表达清晰,长短句搭配合理。另外千万不要看小用词恰当这一方面哦!

黄:结构我们是不是可以套用?

魏:可以,按需要套用咯,记住套用是以内容为中心的,不是为套用而套用,这一点挺重要的,不要把手段当作目的啊。

黄:哦,刚开始准备复习作文时,应该如何下手呢?

魏:首先,要看看这几年都考了些什么,什么文体什么内容之类的,传说这是有规律的(不过我也没有考查过)。那么根据规律就挑一些出来练,练很重要。一般人觉得作文没什么好练的,只看范文。反正挑好题目以后,就定个时间,在规定的时间内把文章写完。写好呢,就跟范文比较一下,分析一下优缺点,最好找老师修改一下。

黄:看来还是一个“勤”字啊!

四、阅读方面:

黄:下面是阅读方面的,你觉得如何有效的提高阅读速度,作题时凭第一感觉选可取吗?

魏:提高阅读速度嘛,就只有多看,但做题就有捷径。下面我把我做阅读的流程告诉你吧。

先把文章的每个段落的首句尾句看一遍,然后就去看答案,答案里一般都会有一些专有名词或者不认识的词,然后根据这些词确定答案在文章中的位置,找到那个位置就可以找到答案了。大概就是这样。

黄:恩,听起来不错。我要去实践实践!

五、考试与复习方面:

黄:最后,也是很多同学关心的一点,就整个考试过程来说,应该怎样分配时间,要重点捉住哪些方面,才能更好地提高分数呢?

魏:其实我觉得听力跟阅读是最重要的拿分点。只要你的听力和阅读不差,你的分就不差,

作文和其他的,占的比例不是很大,也不容易拉开距离。(相对而言)

黄:那在最后的冲刺阶段,我们应该重点把握哪些方面的复习呢?

魏:模拟题当然是不可以断的,要一直保持考试的感觉,同时还要复习以前做过的,听力也是要坚持听。

黄:师兄,能说说你考试前几周的复习吗?

魏:我准备考试的过程其实没什么意义的,我考四级时看了顶多两个星期,考六级之前准备顶多一个星期。嗯~~~所以学英语不是为了考四、六级,只要你把它当成一个工具,用起来那才能真正学会。

黄:恩恩,至理名言!四、六级不是目的,英语只是工具。

魏:恩,就是这个意思。考试的技巧我真的不懂太多,可能也说不好,不过我很重视积累。

黄:明白了,平时的积累才是最重要的。谢谢师兄,今天我真是受益匪浅啊!

魏:不用客气,但愿我说的对你们有用吧!

时间如梭,一个半小时的采访时间过去了,但魏国超师兄给我们留下的却是宝贵的学习经验,我们要取其精华,去其糟粕,好好借鉴他的学习经验。最后,正如师兄所说的,学英语不是为了考四、六级,而是为了以后的运用,也就是,学以致用!因此,平时大家还是好好积累吧,这就是最快的捷径!最后,祝愿大家在英语四、六级考试中都能取得好成绩!加油哦!

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite

Just as Frenchmen had created the Statue, so it was with restoration. A Frenchman noted the decay and French and American craftsmen and contributions brought about the renewal of the Statue in time for its centennial.Liberty is still 20 in France and the United States.

2016年12月大学英语四级考试真题及答案

2016 年 12 月大学英语四级考试真题(第一套) Part I Writing (30 minutes)( 请于正式开考后半小时内完成该部分,之后将进行听 力考试 ) Directions:For this part,you are allowed30 minutes to write an essay.Suppose you have two options upon graduation:one is to take a job in a company and the other to go to a graduate school.You are to make a choice between the two.Write an essay to explain the reasons for your choice. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. Much controversy has been aroused about whether the students should find a job or start their own business after graduation.Taking a look around,we can find that some graduates bustle around job markets,while others choose to run a shop on TMall. However, I prefer the former choice. From my perspective, there are good reasons to find a job in the first several years after their graduation.First and foremost, if a graduate intends to accumulate working experience and learn from the seniors, it is advisable for him to find a job. It is an undeniable fact that the theoretical knowledge will provide the graduates with the ability to consider things comprehensively,however,only under the integration with practice can the rigid knowledge be useful for their future development. Inevitably, doing something small is the premise of undertaking something great. Take Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba and taobao, for example. He also finds some jobs before establishing his own career,laying a solid foundation for his later success. Consequently,it is of great necessity to find a job after graduation.I firmly believe that it will continue to bring about more returns to our life and future.
