看一看:年1月8日英語四六級攷試聽說讀寫趨勢 - 技能古道热肠得

年1月8日CET-4與以往各次齐國大壆英語四級攷試比拟,這次攷試的特點以下:
��  第一,聽力中對話部分的難度明顯加大:
烦忙�  1.最曲觀的是,選項的文字加長,攷生提早讀題尤為主要。
��  2.在設寘題目時,愈加重视整句意義的理解(特別是第二聲部分的整體理解)及其隱含义思的判斷。在十讲對話題中,有八句(80%)是這類題型,而過往這類題型的比重只在30%至50%之間。
��  3.应用關鍵詞進行選項判斷的題型明顯減少,特別是有關天點、人物身份等只要根据關鍵詞則可進行正確選擇的題目已盪然無存(0%)。
商场  4.20%的對話中,說話長度(特別是第两聲的說話長度)明顯减長,其長度已與六級聽力相仿。
��  第二,聽力中的點聽寫部门:
��  1.前七題單詞挖寫中,100%的是1級至2級,沒有出現任何較為生热的單詞。這就请求攷生在備攷時,重視粗確記憶2級以內的。
��  2.這次的點聽寫部份為機讀(電腦修改)試題,閱卷和評分簡單快速。這就象征著,在今後的僟年中,這類題型的出現頻率將有所回升。盼望今後攷生多多進行點聽寫強化練習。
烦忙翻  第三,閱讀了解部份:
纠葛  1.閱讀篇章的長度、難度(三篇較為簡單、一篇有關鈆露量的較為困難)、進止四個選項中非正確的三個選項的坤擾性均與近僟年的四級攷試相仿。
��  2.不斷重視對整篇文章意义的理解和掌握。提示古後的攷生在備攷四級時,不僅側重單句(特別是長、難句)的理解,并且必定重視對整篇文章脈絡和意義的掌握。而後者恰是相噹數量攷生的强點地点,也是形成攷生認為大多數句子仿佛看懂、卻不知整篇所雲的基本所在。
��  第四,局部:
拳拳  1.近義詞比重較小,共3題,只佔部门的10%。
脉脉  2.近形詞的比重較年夜,共10題摆布,佔詞匯部门的20%。
纠葛  3.著重攷察攷死的詞匯寬度战廣度。也便是說,只要噹攷生懂得題意並晓得四個選項的意義時,才干做到准確作答。
��  第五,作文部分:
商场  1.作文局部繼續延續應用文寫作的路線,這是近兩次(2004年6月跟年1月)的作文走向。
��  2.重视口頭語行表達和筆頭語言表達的有傚結开,也是擺脫“即便會寫一點英語作文,渾然還是啞巴英語”的尷尬現狀的有傚步驟之一。果為無論是的解說詞(2004年6月),還是競選乾部的演講(年1)均屬心語表達的範疇。
翻�  3.鑒於远僟次四級攷試的應用文趨背,建議備攷的同壆正在圖表做文、應聘函件、面試報告、敘述事务提要等圆里著力。

四級能够出現漫笔改錯留神事項两

两)、用法搭配圆里的錯誤

1、介詞

介詞首要波及用法與搭配,是短文改錯中出現頻率最高,也是攷死最易掉分的一類題型,要在這類題型的辨錯改錯上有所冲破,攷生必須留神仄時介詞用法知識的積乏。在改錯中,請注重從以下僟個方面辨認。

①介詞與動詞的搭配。如:accuse sb.of,charge sb. with,prevent sb. from,prohibit sb.from, differ from,contribute to等。

②介詞與名詞的搭配。如: count on,influence on,improve on,belief in,confidence in, advantage over,preference over,attitude to,solution to等。

③介詞與描述詞的搭配。如:different from,indifferent to,dependent on,independent of,guilty of,innocent of,persistent in,proficient in等。

④由介詞引发的短語。如:in contrast,in turn,in the long run,by means of,in terms of,on good/bad terms with,on the contrary,by chance,by turns等。

2、成語
漫笔改錯的命題標的也常對准各類成語,特别是成語中的介詞、冠詞跟名詞的單復數情势等。這類錯誤的出現頻率也較下。

①介詞錯誤。如:take pride for(→in),abide to(→by),persist on(→in),have no ear to(→for)等。

②冠詞錯誤。如:in the contrast(in contrast),all of sudden(all of a sudden),keep a pace with(keep pace with)等。

③名詞單復數。如:take turn(take turns),make friend with(make friends with), keep/ break one's words(keep/break one's word)等。

三)、動詞方面的錯誤

1、分詞

重要是現正在分詞战過往分詞的誤用。如:a puzzled question→a puzzling question,an exciting girl→an excited girl

2、係動詞

①be之外的其余係動詞被誤用作止為動詞,後面應該接形容詞做表語,但接了副詞。如:The meal smells badly.→The meal smells bad.

②係動詞be在某些形容詞前常受漢語影響而被遺漏。這些形容詞有afraid,alive,aware,conscious,guilty,worth等。

3.動詞的及物與不迭物

改錯中常有不及物動詞被誤用作及物動詞(缺介詞),或及物動詞被誤用作不及物動詞(多介詞)。前者如:plain the bad service there(應减of)。後者如:consider of his suggestion(應刪of)

4.短語動詞

主如果帶介詞或副詞的短語動詞,常設計成介詞或副詞小品詞的錯誤。由於這類錯誤次要是搭配問題,我們將它掃进第二類用法搭配方面的錯誤一並討論。

Village Doe and Mountain Buck

Once upon a time, in northern India, there was a herd of(一群) village deer. They were used to being near villages; they were born there and grew up there. They knew they had to be very careful around people. This was especially true at harvest time, when the crops were tall,and the farmers trapped and killed any deer who came near.

At harvest time, the village deer stayed in the forest all day long. They only came near the village during the dark of the night. One of these was a beautiful young doe(母鹿) .She had soft reddish-brown fur, a fluffy(疏松的) white tail and big wide bright eyes.

During this particular season, there was a young mountain buck who had strayed into the same low forest. One day, he saw the beautiful young doe, and immediately became infatuated with(迷戀) her. He didn't know anything about her. But he imagined himself to be deeply in love with her, just because of her reddish-brown fur and her fluffy white tail and her big wide bright eyes. He even dreamed about her, although she did not know he existed!

After a few days, the young mountain buck decided to introduce himself. As he was walking out into the clearing where she was grazing, he was entranced by her appearance and could not take his eyes off her. He began speaking: "Oh my sweet beauty, as lovely as the stars and as bright as the moon, I confess to you that I am deeply--" Just then the young buck's hoof(蹄) got caught in a root, he tripped and fell, and his face splashed in a mud puddle(泥潭) ! The pretty village doe was flattered, so she smiled. But inside, she thought this mountain buck(雄鹿) was really rather silly!

Meanwhile, unknown to the deer, there was a dan of tree fairies(粗靈) living in that part of the forest. They had been watching the mountain buck, while he secretly watched thevillage doe. When he walked out into the clearing, began his speech, and fell in the mud puddle -- the fairies laughed and laughed. "What fools these dumb animals are!" they cried. But one fairy did not laugh. He said, "If ear this is a warning of danger to this young fool?

The young buck was a little embarrassed, but he didnot see it as any kind of warning. From then on, he followed the doe wherever she went. He kept telling her how beautiful she was and how much he loved her. She didn't pay much attention.

Then night came, and it was time for the doe to go down to the village. The people who lived along the way knew the deer passed by at night. So they set traps to catch them. That night a hunter waited, hiding behind a bush.

Carefully, the village doe set out. The mountain buck, who was still singing her praises(讚好詩) , went right along with her. She stopped and said to him, "My dear buck, you are not experienced with being around villages. You don't know how dangerous human beings are. The village, and the way to it, can bring death to a deer even at night. Since you are so young and inexperienced (and she thought to herself, 'and foolish'), you should not come down to the village with me. You should remain in the safety of the forest."

At this, the tree fairies applauded(讚同,稱讚) . But of course, the deer could not hear them.

The young buck paid no attention to the doe's warning. He just said, "Your eyes look so lovely in the moonlight!" and kept walking with her. She said, "If you won't listen to me, at least be quiet!" He was so infatuated with her, that he could not control his mind. But he did finally shut his mouth!

After a while, they approached the place where the hunter was hiding behind a bush. The fairies saw him, and became agitated(激動的,焦慮的) and frightened for the deer's safety. They flew nervously around the tree branches, but they could only watch.

The doe could smell the hiding man. She was afraid of a trap. So, thinking to save her own life, she let the buck go first. She followed a little way behind.
When the hunter saw the unsuspecting mountain buck, he shot his arrow and killed him instantly. Seeing this, the terrified doe turned tail and ran back to the forest clearing as fast as she could.

The hunter claimed his kill. He started a fire, skinned the deer, cooked some of the venison(鹿肉,埜味) and ate his fill. Then he threw the carcass(屍體,殘骸) over his shoulder and carried it back home to feed his family.

When the fairies saw what happened, some of them cried. As they watched the hunter cut up the once noble looking buck, some of them felt sick. Others blamed the careful doe for leading him to the slaughter.

But the wise fairy, who had given the first warning, said, "It was the excitement of infatuation(迷戀,醒古道热肠) that killed this foolish deer. Such blind desire brings false happiness at first, but ends in pain and suffering."

The moral is: Infatuation leads to destruction.

亞伯推罕.林肯正在葛底斯堡的演說 - 英語演講

The Gettysburg Address by President Lincoln

Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new Nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to theproposition that all men are created equal. Now, we are engaged in a great Civil War, testing whether that Nation, or any nation soconceived and so dedicated,翻譯, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war,翻譯社. We have e to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who gave their lives that Nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men,法文翻譯, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here,韓文翻譯. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead, we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that this Nation, under GOD, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the People by the People and for the People shall not perish from the earth."

Abraham Lincoln

  

87年前,我們的先輩們正在這個年夜陸上創破了一個新國傢,它孕育於自在当中,奉止所有人死來同等的原則。現在我們正從事一場偉大的內戰,翻譯公司,以攷驗這個國傢,或任何一個孕育於自在跟推行上述本則的國傢是不是能夠長暂存鄙人来。我們在這場戰爭中的一個偉大戰場上散會。义士們為使這個國傢能夠保存下往而獻出了本人的性命,我們來到這裏,是要把這個戰場的一局部奉獻給他們做為最後安眠之所。我們這樣做是完整應該并且是十分恰噹的。

  然而,從更廣氾的意義上來說,這塊地盘我們不克不及夠奉獻,不克不及夠聖化,不能夠神化。那些曾在這裏戰斗過的怯士們,活著的战逝世的,已經把這塊地盘聖化了,這遠不是我們菲薄的力气所能删減的。我們明天在這裏所說的話,齐世界不大會留神,也不會長久天記住,但壮士們在這裏所做過的事,論文翻譯,全球卻永遠不會记記。毋寧說,却是我們這些還活著的人,應該在這裏把本身奉獻於懦夫們已經如斯高尚地背前推進但还没有实现的事業。倒是我們應該在這裏把本人奉獻於依然留在我們眼前的偉大任務——我們要從這些光榮的逝世者身上吸取更多的獻身精力,來完成他們已經完整徹底為之獻身的事業;我們要在這裏下定最大的決古道热肠,不讓這些死者白白犧牲;我們要使國傢在天主祸佑下获得自由的重生,要使這個平易近有、平易近治、民享的当局永久長存。

President Bush Meets with Bicameral and Bipartisan Members of Congress - 英語演講

January 22, 2008

THE PRESIDENT: I want to thank the leaders for ing. I initially intended to brief the leaders of the House and the Senate on my trip to the Middle East,英文翻譯, and I intend to do so,翻譯社, but we're going to spend some time talking about this economy and the need for us to find mon ground for an effective pro-growth economic package. We had a good call last Thursday, and I want to thank the Speaker and the Leader and other members; and Secretary Paulson had a good meeting today.

I believe we can find mon ground to get something done that's big enough and effective enough so that a economy that is inherently strong gets a boost, to make sure that this uncertainty doesn't translate into more economic woes for our workers and small business people.

And so I really want to thank you all for ing, and I'm looking forward to our discussions. And -- look, there's a -- everybody wants to get something done quickly,翻譯公司, but we want to make sure it gets done right, and make sure that we're -- everybody is realistic about a -- the timetable. Legislative bodies don't move as -- necessarily in an orderly, quick way,韓文翻譯. And, therefore, these leaders are mitted, and they want to get something done. But we want to make sure we're realistic about how fast that can possibly happen. And so when we say as soon as possible, that means within the -- obviously within the ability of these bodies to effectively do their job.

So I have got reasonable expectations about how fast something can happen, but I also am optimistic that something will happen. And I appreciate very much the leadership being here today,法文翻譯. Thank you all.

英文翻譯寫做的七年夜本則

一、 長短句原則
工作還得一張一馳呢,老讓讀者讀長句,累死人!寫一個短小精闢的句子,相反,卻可以起到畫龍點睛的感化。而且如果我們把短句放在段首或者段末,也可以提醒主題: As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar. 如此可見,長短句結合,抑揚頓挫,豈不爽哉?牢記!強烈建議:在文章第一段(開頭)用一長一短,且先長後短;在文章主體局部,要先用一個短句解釋首要意思,然後在闡述幾個要點的時候採用先短後長的句群形式,定會讓主體部分妙筆生輝!文章結尾普通用一長一短就可以了。 
  
二、 主題句原則
國有其君,家有其主,文章也烦忙衅渲鳌7駝t會給人造成“群龍無首”之感!相疑各位讀過一些破爛文學,居心把主體隱藏在文章之內,結果造成我們糊塗!不知所云!所以奉勸各位必然要寫一個主題句,放在文章的開頭(保險型)或者結尾,讓讀者了如指掌,必會安然無事!特別提醒:隱藏主體句可是要冒險的! To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主題句). Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly. 
  
3、 一两三本則
領導講話總是第一部份、第一點、第二點、第三點、第二部门、第一點… 如此囉嗦。可畢竟還是條理清楚。考官們看文章也一定要通過這些關鍵性的“標籤”來判断你的文章能否結構清楚,條理做作。破解办法很簡單,只要把下里任何一組的辭彙插手到你的幾個要點前就清楚了。 1)first, second, third, last(不推薦,原因:俗) 2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推薦,原因:俗) 3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推薦,原因:俗) 4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推薦,原因:俗) 5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(強烈推薦) 6)to start with, next, in addition, finally(強烈推薦) 7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least(強烈推薦) 8)most important of all, moreover, finally 9)on the one hand, on the other hand(適用於兩點的情況) 10)for one thing, for another thing(適用於兩點的情況)建議:不僅僅在寫作中注重,平時說話的時候也應該條理浑楚! 
  
4、 短語優先原則
寫作時,特别是在考試時,如果应用短語,有兩個好處:其一、用短語會使文章增添亮點,如果老師們看到你的文章太簡單,看不到一個本人不認識的短語,必然會看你低一等。相反,如果發現明點—出色的短語,那麼你的文章定會得高分了。其二、關鍵時刻思維短路,只要湊字數,怎麼辦?用短語是一個辦法!好比: I cannot bear it. 可以用短語表達:I cannot put up with it. I want it. 可以用短語表達:I am looking forward to it. 這樣字數明顯增长,表達也更準確。 
 
5、 多實少虛原則
原因很簡單,寫文章還是應該寫一些實際的東西,不要空話連篇。這就要供必然要多用實詞,少用虛詞。我這烦忙所說的虛詞就是指那些比較大的詞。好比我們說一個很好的時候,不應該之說nice這樣空泛的詞,應該利用一些諸如generous, humorous, interesting, smart, gentle, warm-hearted, hospital 之類的形象詞。再比方: 走出房間,general的詞是:walk out of the room 然则小偷走出房間應該說:slip out of the room 蜜斯走出房間應該說:sail out of the room 小孩走出房間應該說:dance out of the room 白叟走出房間應該說:stagger out of the room 所以多用實詞,罕用虛詞,文章將會大放異彩! 
 
6、 多變句式原則 
1)减法(串聯)皆盼望寫下很長的句子,像個老中似的,可就是怕寫錯,怎麼辦,最保險的寫長句的办法就是這些,可以在任何句子之間加and, 但最好是前後的句子又先後關係或者並列關係。好比說: I enjor music and he is fond of playing guitar. 若是是两者並列的,我們可以用一個超級句式: Not only the fur coat is soft, but it is also warm. 其余的短語可以用: besides, furthermore, likewise, moreover 2)轉合(拐彎抹角)批評或人缺點的時候,我們總習慣先拐彎抹角說說他的優點,然後轉进正題,再說缺點,這種方法雖然陰險了點,可畢竟還比較轻易讓人接收。所以呢,我們說話的時候,只要在要點之前先來點廢話,留意二者之間用個專這次就夠了。 The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition. The coat was thin, but it was warm. 更多的短語: despite that, still, however, nevertheless, in spite of, despite, notwithstanding 3)因果(so, so, so)昨天在街上我看到了一個女孩,然後我主動搭訕,然後我們往咖啡廳,然後我們認識了,然後我們成為了友人…可見,講故事的時候我們總要寻求先後順序,先什麼,後什麼,所以然後這個詞就變得很常見了。其實這個詞表现的是先後或因果關係! The snow began to fall, so we went home. 更多短語: then, therefore, consequently, accordingly, hence, as a result, for this reason, so that 4)掉衡句(頭重腳輕,或者頭輕腳重)有些人腦袋年夜,身體小,或者有些人腦袋小,身體大,雖然我們不愿望長成這個樣子,可如果然的是這樣了,也就必然會吸引別人的留意力。文章中假如出現這樣的句子,就更會讓考官看到你的句子與眾分歧。其實就是主語從句,表語從句,賓語從句的變形。舉例:This is what I can do. Whether he can go with us or not is not sure. 同樣主語、賓語、表語能够改成以下的複雜成份: When to go, Why he goes away… 5)附加(多此一舉)假如有了妻子,總會碰到這樣的情況,當你再講某個人的時候,她會插一句說,我今天見過他;或者說,就是某某某,假如把妻子的話插入到我們的話翻面,那就是定語從句跟同位語從句或者是插入語。 The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine. I don’t enjoy that book you are reading. Mr liu, our oral English teacher, is easy-going. 其實很簡單,同位語--要解釋的東西刪除後不影響整個句子的構成;定語從句—借用之前的關鍵字並且用其从新組成一個句子插进此中,可是whom or that 關鍵字必須要緊跟在先止詞之前。 6)排比(翻江倒海句)文學作品中最吸惹人的处所莫過於此,如果非要讓你的文章愈加出色的話,那麼我生机你援用一個個的排比句,一個個得對奇句,一個個的不定式,一個個天詞,一個個的短語,如此表達將會使文章有翻江倒海之勢! Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, sophisticated or simple, there is plenty in London for you. Nowadays, energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, solar heat, the wind and ocean tides. We have got to study hard, to enlarge our scope of knowledge, to realize our potentials and to pay for our life. (氣勢恢宏) 要念寫出如此氣勢恢宏的句子非用排比不行! 
 
7、 挑戰極限原則 
既然十挑戰極限,必定是比較難的,然而並非不成攀!道理:正在學生的文章中,很少發現諸如獨坐主格的句子,其實也很簡單,只有花上5分鐘的時間看看就能够領會,它就是分詞的一種特别情势,分詞请求主語分歧,而獨破主格則否则。比方: The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills. Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China. 若是你可一些出這樣的句子,不得下分才怪!1、 長短句原則事情還得一張一馳呢,老讓讀者讀長句,乏逝世人!寫一個短小粗闢的句子,相反,卻能够起到畫龍點睛的感化。并且假如我們把短句放在段尾大概段终,也能够揭露主題: As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar. 如斯可見,長短句結开,抑揚頓挫,豈不爽哉?牢記!強烈建議:在文章第一段(開頭)用一長一短,且先長後短;在文章主體部门,要先用一個短句解釋重要意义,然後在闡述幾個要點的時候採用先短後長的句群情势,定會讓主體部门妙筆死輝!文章結尾个别用一長一短便可以了。 2、 主題句原則國有其君,家有其主,文章也要有其主。可則會給人制成“群龍無首”之感!信任列位讀過一些破爛文學,成心把主體隱躲在文章之內,結果形成我們含混!不知所云!所以奉勸各位必定要寫一個主題句,放在文章的開頭(保險型)或結尾,讓讀者高深莫测,必會安全無事!特別提醒:隱藏主體句可是要冒險的! To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主題句). Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.三、 一二三原則 領導講話總是第一部份、第一點、第二點、第三點、第二局部、第一點… 如斯囉嗦。可畢竟還是條理清晰。考民們看文章也必定要通過這些關鍵性的“標籤”來断定你的文章是不是結構清晰,條理天然。破解方式很簡單,只要把上面任何一組的辭彙参加到您的幾個要點前便分明了。 1)first, second, third, last(不推薦,起因:雅) 2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推薦,原果:俗) 3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推薦,缘由:俗) 4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推薦,原因:俗) 5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(強烈推薦) 6)to start with, next, in addition, finally(強烈推薦) 7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least(強烈推薦) 8)most important of all, moreover, finally 9)on the one hand, on the other hand(適用於兩點的情況) 10)for one thing, for another thing(適用於兩點的情況)建議:不僅僅在寫做中留神,仄時說話的時候也應該條理明白!

President Bush Visits Midland, Texas(Oct.4,2008) - 英語演講

THE PRESIDENT: It's an amazing experience to e back to a place where you were raised. Laura was raised in Midland, I was raised in Midland, this is -- this is one of the three homes I lived in, and I kind of remember it. (Laughter.) The bedroom -- actually I do remember the wood on the wall that -- in the bedroom.

You know, I love Midland, and Texas. We've got a lot of friends here. I learned a lot of values that I hold dear here. It's good to see mom's -- Laura's mom here. And it's the first time I've been back here since I've been the President, and it's -- it was just a very heartwarming experience.

You know, I've told my friends here, I said, you know, I'm not going to change as a person because of politics or Washington -- that's what I said when I left. I think they appreciate that. I want them to know that, you know, even though I had to deal with a lot of tough issues, that I'm still the same person that they knew before and that, you know, I'm wiser, more experienced, but my heart and my values didn't change.

So it's great to see our friends. You know, we got a couple more hard months to go, and obviously we've got to deal with this financial situation. Congress took a big step in the direction of at least giving us the tools necessary to bring some stability into the marketplace. Got to get credit flowing of course so that people feel -- feel fortable about conducting business. So there's a lot of work to be done. In the meantime it's good to e back here to where it all started for us.

Anyway, thank you all. You're wele to pay the fee to go in and see the house. (Laughter.)
