如何写四级范文图书四

大一:

刚进大学,有大量的新鲜事物有待探索 (remain to explore),很多人把大量的时间花在左顾右盼上,但是有一部分同学,他们目标坚定,内心成熟,他们已经拿起新概念,在校园里晨读起来。如果大学有一件事情值得你坚持四年,那么它就是早读。

第一学期,从高中细节的语法学习、题海轰炸过度到大学兴趣为主、阅读为王的学习方式,你可能要花点时间适应;之后,第二学期你就可以开始准备四级,用一个月的时间把词汇解决。然后你要做一些阅读和真题,轻松地就能通过四级考试。作为大学中一个最简单的考试,它只是给你些许开始的信心。如果认为自己基础稍弱一些的,可以先系统的学习一下新概念二册或初、中级阅读,打下基础,再过考试。

大二:

你内心清楚自己的目标是六级,但是这个时候,你可能会对听力口语产生一些兴趣,是的,你应该找出几盒有难度进阶的磁带来练听力。有几个原则必须遵守:一、不看原文(不把听力变成阅读);二、在安静的环境下认真听;三、反复听相同的东西。第一盒磁带可能会让你生不如死,过了一个月才大致听懂,没有关系,第二盒磁带可能就只需要20天了,第三盒磁带可能只需要15天,当听到第5盒磁带再回头听第一盒时,就会有想打自己耳光的感觉(could have kicked yourself),怪自己为什么当初听不懂这么简单的内容。

大二的时候,英语学习观似乎有些变化,虽然你通过努力可能也过了六级考试,但是你发现一切知识都要应用,六级考题对于你来说更多的是一种表达方式。这个时候,系统学习一下新概念三对于增强自己的表达法,深入了解英文行文规则很有帮助。至于口语,找一个志同道合的人,加上新三的强大知识库,每天练习,有三个月,就会有突飞猛进的感觉。推荐同学们听《千万别学英语》,看《friends》。

大三:

你应该有些膨胀,想自己年纪轻轻就过了六级;历经生不如死的听力练习;用英文和语伴交流时也是滔滔不绝,你觉得自己真是他妈的语言天才,世间少有。但是来到新东方,你才发现,像你的“畜生”,还有很多。新东方张贴的托福高分榜不断刺激你的神经,是的,大三你应该考一个雅思或托福。

有了六级的基础,词汇还需要再加强一些,大概有几百个难词要突击一下,阅读要每天坚持练习,听力和口语是很自然的事情。剩下写作是最难的,即使是自己的母语,也不一定人人都能写出一手好文章,所以每个星期写上两篇便很必要,有机会要高手替你修改。如果实在没有这个机会,就参加一个单独的写作班,向高人学习一些方法。如果有兴趣,自己好好研习新概念四册,便会知道高人是如何用英文来表达生命、哲学等抽象话题了。不一定每个人都能拿托福雅思高分,但是作为自己英语学习最后的也是最权威的检验,它的意义非凡。

大四:

大家的眼神已经有些焦躁不安。你还在坚持早读,只不过你已经把材料从新概念二册变成了新概念四册(同时你还爱上了睡前看一小时英文,好习惯!),你的英语,已经从简单的表达变成了有些文采的新四句型了,讨论学术话题也是滔滔不绝。

当大家都在都在为工作不安时,你的眼神已经有了些许自信——当前的你不是现在决定的,而是三年前的你决定的。如果你要考研,花两个月的时间做历年的真题,有四六级和托福考试经历,考研英语不会让你很分心。多找一些外教朋友,去了解他们的文化和生活方式,多去一些party,用英文去交朋友,享受英文给你带来的乐趣。如果你要找工作,大方地走进主管的办公室,用流利的英文告诉他,你是一个很有计划,很self-disciplined(自律)的人,你是一个要做一件事情就会在三年前计划好、会完美实施的人。我想没有主管不喜欢这么一个有毅力的家伙。恭喜你,你成功了!

核心:词汇及语法积累

(建议每日复习时间:2小时~3小时)

打牢词汇基础是本时段的中心任务。选择一本四级词汇书,制定约15日至20日的背词计划。在新词方面,四级与高中水平差别不大。

背词时,需要特别训练“眼熟”的能力,不用刻意强调拼写和多重含义,不停的用翻书或重复识别的方式加强印象即可。背单词最难的就在短时重复的循环坚持,能多看哪怕一会儿,你就战胜之前的你了。

已经做过部分真题依然但依然未过级的同学,不用过早进入做题继续错题再做再错的怪圈。可以利用做过的真题来背词,这样效率更高。尤其推荐通过播放听过的听力材料的形式,抽查自己的听写单词及短语的能力。

特别提示:多次考试处于420分数以下的同学务必尽早开动。此分数段同学英语学习方法存在重大问题。听课或看书来改正方法可能比自己学效果好得多。

核心:真题训练

(每日复习时间:2.5小时~3小时)

谁都知道备考四六级的最佳资料就是历年真题,但如果你做真题时出现以下情况,真题基本没有发挥作用:

1.完成一套,对答案,一段时间后再做下一套;

2.把阅读和听力选择题作为重点,一般不写作文,不做听写;

3.只有一本真题集。

推荐的方法是:(配合使用巨微英语《四级真题/逐句精解》)

1.买两套真题,按照约4天一套题目的速度练习;

2.按照考试时间,完成所有题目(包括作文和听写,写不下去也要撑30分钟);

3.确认答案,估计分数,标记在题目之前,作为记录;

4.分析所有错题和不确定的题目(此环节可能需要看真题解析或询问高手或者老师),并且总结记录出现在准确选项,你选错的选项,答案对应原文等位置的生词;

5.尝试翻译所有题目的准确答案项以及对应原文;

6.听力至少再听两遍;

7.努力记住第四步记录的单词或短语。

如此说来,完成一套真题的时间,至少在四个小时以上,1-4步和5-7步可以在两至三日内分别完成。特别提醒,作文最好找老师或高手批改,否则自己写下去几乎没有提高。

第二轮: (5月21日至6月5日,每日复习时间:2.5小时~3小时)

这段时间,拿出第二套真题集,抽取大约六套左右原来做过的题目重新做。如果准确率极高,说明之前真题练习不错,反之则证明效果不佳。要特别注意重复做错的题目。

这两个月是备考的黄金期,放弃了这一段时间,就等于放弃了所有过级可能性。听课,接受引导式学习,是保证部分倍感自控无望的同学学习进度的最好方式。

核心:回顾错题,模拟考试

(每日复习时间:2.5小时~3小时)

几乎所有考试失败的前辈都会悲叹上场之后,考试时间不够,所以再次强化自己的考场能力成为最后时日的关键。

拿出最后剩余的真题,选择早晨的9点整(四级)或下午的3点整(六级),计时完成题目。你需要分析自己的强弱项,提前计划在正式考试时如何利用优势弥补劣势,让分数最大化。

当然,继续背那些重复出现却总是记混的单词也是好的选择。

among the kinds of social gestures most significant for second-language teachers are those which are (26)______ in form but different in meaning in the two cultures. for example, a colombian who wants someone to (27)______ him often signals with a hand movement in which all the fingers of one hand, cupped, point downward as they move rapidly (28)_______. speakers or english have a similar gesture through the hand may not be cupped and the fingers may be held more loosely, but for them the gesture means goodbye or go away, quite the (29)______ of the colombian gesture. again, in colombian, a speaker of english would have to know that when he (30)________ height he most choose between different gestures depending on whether he is (31)_______ a human being or an animal. if he keeps the palm of the hand (32)_________ the floor, as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child, for example, he will very likely be greeted by laughter, in colombia this gesture is (33)_________ for the description of animals. in order to describe human beings he should keep the palm of his hand (34)_________ to the floor. substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not only humorous but also (35)________ moment. in both of the examples above, speakers from two different cultures have the same gesture, physically, but its meaning differs sharply.

questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.

global warming is a trend toward warmer conditions around the world. part of the warming is natural; we have experienced a 20,000 -year -long warming as the last ice age ended and the ice 36 away. however, we have already reached temperatures that are in 37 with other minimum-ice periods, so continued warming is likely not natural. we are 38 to a predicted worldwide increase in temperatures 39 between 1℃ and 6℃ over the next 100 years. the warming will be more 40 in some areas, less in others, and some places may even cool off. likewise, the 41 of this warming will be very different depending on where you are—coastal areas must worry about rising sea levels, while siberia and northern canada may become more habitable (宜居的) and 42 for humans than these areas are now.

the fact remains, however, that it will likely get warmer, on 43 , everywhere. scientists are in general agreement that the warmer conditions we have been experiencing are at least in part the result of a human-induced global warming trend. some scientists 44 that the changes we are seeing fall within the range of random (无规律的) variation—some years are cold, others warm, and we have just had an unremarkable string of warm years 45 —but that is becoming an increasingly rare interpretation in the face of continued and increasing warm conditions.

directions: in this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. you may choose a paragraph more than once. each paragraph is marked with a letter. answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on answer sheet 2.

the end of the book?

[a] amazon, by far the largest bookseller in the country, reported on may 19 that it is now selling more books in its electronic kindle format than in the old paper-and-ink format. that is remarkable, considering that the kindle has only been around for four years. e-books now account for 14 percent of all book sales in the country and are increasing far faster than overall book sales. e-book sales are up 146 percent over last year, while hardback sales increased 6 percent and paperbacks decreased 8 percent.

[b] does this spell the doom of the physical book? certainly not immediately, and perhaps not at all. what it does mean is that the book business will go through a transformation in the next decade or so more profound than any it has seen since gutenberg introduced printing from moveable type in the 1450s.

[c] physical books will surely become much rarer in the marketplace. mass market paperbacks, which have been declining for years anyway, will probably disappear, as will hardbacks for mysteries, thrillers, “romance fiction,” etc. such books, which only rarely end up in permanent collections, either private or public, will probably only be available as e-books within a few years. hardback and trade paperbacks for “serious” nonfiction and fiction will surely last longer. perhaps it will become the mark of an author to reckon with that he or she is still published in hard copy.

[d] as for children’s books, who knows? children’s books are like dog food in that the purchasers are not the consumers, so the market (and the marketing) is inherently strange.

[e] for clues to the book’s future, let’s look at some examples of technological change and see what happened to the old technology.

[f] one technology replaces another only because the new technology is better, cheaper, or both. the greater the difference, the sooner and more thoroughly the new technology replaces the old. printing with moveable type on paper dramatically reduced the cost of producing a book compared with the old-fashioned ones handwritten on vellum, which comes from sheepskin. a bible—to be sure, a long book—required vellum made from 300 sheepskins and countless man-hours of labor. before printing arrived, a bible cost more than a middle-class house. there were perhaps 50,000 books in all of europe in 1450. by 1500 there were 10 million.

[g] but while printing quickly caused the hand written book to die out, handwriting lingered on (继续存在) well into the 16th century. very special books are still occasionally produced on vellum, but they are one-of-a-kind show pieces.

[h]sometimes a new technology doesn’t drive the old one out, but only parts of it while forcing the rest to evolve. the movies were widely predicted to drive live theater out of the marketplace, but they didn’t, because theater turned out to have qualities movies could not reproduce. equally, tv was supposed to replace movies but, again, did not.

[i] movies did, however, fatally impact some parts of live theater. and while tv didn’t kill movies, it did kill second-rate pictures, shorts, and cartoons.

[j] nor did tv kill radio. comedy and drama shows (“jack benny,” “amos and andy,” “the shadow”) all migrated to television. but because you can’t drive a car and watch television at the same time, rush hour became radio’s prime, while music, talk, and news radio greatly enlarged their audiences. radio is today a very different business than in the late 1940s and a much larger one.

[k] sometimes old technology lingers for centuries because of its symbolic power. mounted cavalry (骑兵) replaced the chariot (二轮战车) on the battlefield around 1000 bc. but chariots maintained their place in parades and triumphs right up until the end of the roman empire 1,500 years later. the sword hasn’t had a military function for a hundred years, but is still part of an officer’s full-dress uniform, precisely because a sword always symbolized “an officer and a gentleman.”

[l] sometimes new technology is a little cranky (不稳定的) at first. television repairman was a common occupation in the 1950s, for instance. and so the old technology remains as a backup. steamships captured the north atlantic passenger business from sail in the 1840s because of its much greater speed. but steamships didn’t lose their sails until the 1880s, because early marine engines had a nasty habit of breaking down. until ships became large enough (and engines small enough) to mount two engines side by side, they needed to keep sails. (the high cost of steam and the lesser need for speed kept the majority of the world’s ocean freight moving by sail until the early years of the 20th century.)

[m] then there is the fireplace. central heating was present in every upper-and middle-class home by the second half of the 19th century. but functioning fireplaces remain to this day a powerful selling point in a house or apartment. i suspect the reason is a deep-rooted love of the fire. fire was one of the earliest major technological advances for humankind, providing heat, protection, and cooked food (which is much easier to cat and digest)。 human control of fire goes back far enough (over a million years) that evolution could have produced a genetic leaning towards fire as a central aspect of human life.

[n] books—especially books the average person could afford—haven’t been around long enough to produce evolutionary change in humans. but they have a powerful hold on many people nonetheless, a hold extending far beyond their literary content. at their best, they are works of art and there is a tactile(触觉的)pleasure in books necessarily lost in e-book versions. the ability to quickly thumb through pages is also lost. and a room with books in it induces, at least in some, a feeling not dissimilar to that of a fire in the fireplace on a cold winter’s night.

[o] for these reasons i think physical books will have a longer existence as a commercial product than some currently predict. like swords, books have symbolic power. like fireplaces, they induce a sense of comfort and warmth. and, perhaps, similar to sails, they make a useful back-up for when the lights go out.

questions 56 to 60are based on the following passage.

the question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education isn’t an either/or proposition(命题),although the current emphasis on preparing young americans for stem(science, technology, engineering, maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.

the latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also asserts that the study of the humanities (人文学科)and social sciences must remain central components of america’s educational system at all levels. both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative(创新的)leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.

parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’ job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs. under these circumstances, it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem “major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run. indeed, according to surveys, employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easily.

moreover, students should be prepared not just for their first job, but for their 4th and 5th jobs, as there’s little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers. the ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible. the ability to draw upon every available tool and insight—picked up from science, arts, and technology—to solve the problems of the future, and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, will be helpful to them and the united states.

questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.

energy independence. it has a nice ring to it. doesn’t it? if you think so, you’re not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of american president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession.

“energy independence” and its rhetorical (修辞的) companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely though through. what is it we want independence from, exactly?

most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. but there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere.

the first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. yes, there is a trickle(涓涓细流)of biofuel(生物燃料)available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.

second, americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil. they value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. vast areas of the united states are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection. to what extent are americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?

third, there are benefits to trade. it allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit. and although you don’t read about this much, the united states is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.

there is no question that the united states imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy. when that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices, at the same time, we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.
