英语考博的一点建议

第一篇：英语考博的一点建议

考博专业课复习经典方法

引导语：对待专业课的认识，有些考生以为自己学了这么多年本专业，甚至发表了不少文章，专业课应该没问题了，从而放松了对自己专业课复习的要求。其实现在博士录取时，各个环节都不能放松。即使及格了，如果成绩较低，总分排名靠居后，也会影响导师对自己的印象。

提高专业课的复习效率，可以分为以下两个阶段: 1.了解学术动态

考生在确定了报考的局势和研究方向以后，要立刻在招生简章或报考学校的网站上查到复习的参考资料。一定要翻翻近两年专业杂志，看看大家讨论的热点问题，浏览一下报考学校近三年的学报，了解本专业发表的论文。最好在考前就有关热点问题加以思考，提出自己的观点和看法。尤其需要强调一点，考生应查看导师近五年中发表的文章以及导师近年的专著，有些观点、数据、理论要掌握，特别是有关老师的论文一定要熟记于心，遇到类似的题目可以搬上去，这对于提高你的成绩会大有裨益。特别要注意教师在一些有争议的问题上的观点和立场，围绕这种问题，时间允许的话最好再收集相关资料。往往导师会在这些问题上考察学生。寻求合作者的过程，如果发现一个对自己近两年研究的领域知之甚多，甚至观点也和自己相容或相似，势必会给导师带来好的印象。可以提前和该导师的博士生取得联系，要求提供去年的专业课考试的考题(一般专业课试题有10%一30%的重复率，而各高校却不提供专业课考题)，或者要求他提供第一学期的专业课笔记(老师近期关注的重点大多都在其中)，也可以请他大致谈谈考试出题的倾向以及考试的感受和经验。

2.复习阶段

花半个月时间收集全资料后，应拟订一个大致的复习计划，内容包括时间和进度安排、复习方式、自查形式等等。这里需要注意的是：

在时间上，专业课的复习要留有充足的时间，越往后复习密度应逐渐力口强。在精力安排要详略得当。一般要求复习教材内容至少三遍。第一遍，对教材有一个大致的把握，这本教材谈了哪些方面的问题，相互之间是什么样的逻辑体系。第二遍，画出重点内容，并适当记忆，掌握该教材的一般知识点，尤其是该书的精华部分和大致脉络、主要观点应非常清楚。个人看书习惯可能不同，既可以做读书笔记，也可以就在书上画，然后再整理出一个个的理论、观点。这里要注意学会比较研究的方法，即比较各个理论之间的异同，从而确立自己的立场。对研究领域当前的热点问题，尽可能找些资料看看，并初步思考这些问题以使自己有一个较为明确的观点，有心得的地方应专门记录下来。如果说前两遍是考生自我学习消化的过程，第三遍则是直接为博士考试做准备的，应放在离考试日期较近的时间内(以一个月内为宜)。其目的就是为了使自己前面学到的东西不至于在考场上反映不出来。

复习内容上有一点需单独强调，即对所考的课程，均要阅读几本非指定考试用书。很多导师喜欢出书评一类的题型。

对于跨专业博士报考的考生而言，难度往往比较大。一定要分析好自己的优势和劣势后再决定报考。在复习时也可以适当兼顾以前的专业犷笔试和面试要让导师感觉到你原专业功底比较扎实，报考该专业是个人研究兴趣的转向而不是自己在原专业上失败了才改换门庭。不过复习专业课时，所准备的时间和精力要明显增加，时间分配要向专业课倾斜。同时，在复习专业课时，要从报考专业的基本教材看起，学习该专业硕士生甚至本科生的课程，对一般课程大致浏览，有一个宏观的把握就行。而对考试指定课程，则应反复阅读，重点突破。

对于应届毕业生而言，专业课复习有优势也有劣势。优势一是自己的硕士论文刚做，对本专业的理论，特别是前沿理论以及当前的热点问题掌握得较全面;二是如果是报考本校的导师可以较方便地找到有资料，甚至可以提前一两个学期选修该导师的专业课，从而在专业和感情上与老师靠近，这对下一步的面试很重要。劣势一是不少硕士生精力投放在找工作找工作上以及接触该专业时间较短;二是缺乏具体实践经验和社会资本。

1、听力：水平差的同学至少要有3个月的准备时间。听力要选用与考试水平一致的材料复习。听的过程：一盘磁带听烂为止。标准：能够听得懂内容，并且能够写下来所听到的内容。这个阶段需要1－2个月，且每天需要2个小时左右，才可以达到此种听力的状态。

对于发音不太准确的同学，可跟读同水平的磁带。跟读有两个阶段：第一阶段看着原文跟读；第二阶段完全跟读。跟读熟练之后，还需要能够写下听到的内容。任何一种语言都可以用以上方法提高听力水平，也可提高口语水平。

2、阅读理解：水平越高的英语考试，阅读部分的长难句就会增加。所以解决长难句，阅读问题就迎刃而解。同时，在阅读部分可以解决词汇问题。在复习阶段做同水平考试的英语阅读题，必须清楚每个句子的句子结构和陌生的词（发音、词性）。解决这些问题，冲刺阶段的复习和最后的考试奠定坚实的基础。阅读部分越早着手越好。实际上考博的同学都有一定的阅读水平，相对于考博，这是有针对性的方法。

3、完形填空：就目前国内考博的完形填空，都是四选一的考试方式，所以这部分不难。市面上买的练习册做做就可以应付考试了。但是如果是open cloze，难度就大了。要掌握篇章布局、句子结构（语法、时态）、同义词的掌握，重要的还要学会找相关信息。想练习open cloze，看pets5的资料就可以。

4、写作：主要考查应用英语的能力，有基本的英语水平加上一本雅思写作，写作就不在话下了。想取得写作高分，就要提前准备。当然，写作是可以突击的。考前参加一个四六级的写作辅导，再用一个月时间练习就可以了。

怎么提高考博英语的听说读写 一.读(每天都应坚持读。)

1、朗读：一般文章读2~3遍，带着理解去读，而不只是为读而读。

2、背诵：好的文章应背熟，以记住好词好句，同时培养自己的语感。

3、速读：文章第一遍用最快的速度读完，以提高阅读速度和理解能力，并逐渐培养不翻译直接理解英文的能力。

4、精读：文章第二遍应精读，以达到对文章的准确理解，并熟悉语法结构，加深单词记忆。也可选择部分文章速读，对于较好的文章精读。

5、泛读：每天看1小时左右的英文报纸，在有兴趣的基础上阅读能力会有很大提高。遇到不会的单词在不影响文章理解的情况下可以略过去，从而提高自己的阅读速度。如果想记忆单词，则可查词典，多次查阅记忆便能记住单词。（坚持一两个月就会有明显效果）

二、听

1、从最初级的听力入手，听懂每个单词、每句话、每段话及每篇文章。逐步增加难度。每天至少半小时。

2、跟读英语，一方面加强听力，一方面训练口语，同时还能培养语感。注意发音的准确性。

三、写

1、每两天写一篇英文日记或作文。

2、用英语写信或E-mail。

3、注意语法的应用和词汇的记忆。

四、语法

1、从基础到高级，掌握每一个语法点，并作详细笔记。笔记所记的都是自己所会的，直到把所有语法细节都掌握。

2、对于不熟悉的语法知识点应反复复习运用，直到掌握为止。

五、词汇

1、每天记忆100~150新单词，并复习前一天的旧单词。对于生疏的旧单词，可记录下来。

2、所有单词记忆完一遍之后紧接着再记一遍，三四遍并不为多。重复是记忆单词的最好方法，也是很多记忆的根本方法。

3、结合例句记忆单词，效果最佳。记忆单词应注意力集中

六、练习

1、大量的练习可以巩固所学知识。

2、通过练习可以提高阅读理解能力，增加词汇量，加强对语法的掌握。

考博英语复习要理性

考博是人生的一个重要节点，意味着人生又有了一次新的选择。所以我们要尊重这次选择。

众所周知，高考要理性备考，才有可能成功应考。考博也是这样，要理性备考。所谓理性备考，就是在复习备考中要有自己的计划，万不可不知道怎么复习，没有一个合理的计划。如何做一个合理的计划呢？又如何科学合理地安排好复习时间呢？这是影响甚至决定考试成败的一个决定因素。

辅导过几届考博英语考生，就讲一下关于制定考博英语的复习时间安排和一些大致的计划。每个考生的情况不一样，制定学习计划也不同。

工作多年的考生，专业上或实践较多或没用上，英语更是自从毕业后就没在怎么和它打过交道。这样的考生，特别强调的是，既然选择要考博，就要给它一定的时间，从你的处理人际关系的时间里拿出一大部分时间来复习！现在就把要复习的资料购买收集好，把每天要学习的，每个月要完成的理出一个表格，严格要求自己去完成。

最后想和大家说：每个人都有自己的交际圈，不可能整天除了工作就是学习，有很多的人际关系要处理好。但处理这些关系的同时，切不可完全以此为理由多日，导致学习过的东西再次学习时已经又处于第一次学习的状态；既然选择考博，就要暂时抛开一些东西或说要在这些things上关注比之前要少些。

另外，现在这个时候不要认为时间尚早，没有必要急着去复习。错！现在一定要把考博报考流程，以及报考该院校的条件，需要什么论文，推荐书，导师等等等问题搞清楚。看看自己哪里还需要做，是还需要在哪里发表个论文。还有，复习资料，现在就应该有一本词汇书，开始第一遍的浏览了；其它的复习资料准备好，考博英语，专业课等，这些东西收集起来其实也费不少时间的。

时间不等人，一不小心就是十一了，一不小心就是元旦了，一不小心就是春节了，一不小心就是考前一周了，那个时候难道你要凭运气吗？

1.有清晰的认识：考博和考硕士不同。很多想考博士的同学热情可嘉，但是要注意，考博毕竟不同于考硕，一般没有参考书目给你，即便是有了，也多半不会出里面的题，考试考的是你的综合掌握能力。而且即使你初试第一，进入复试也有被刷下来的可能；此外，考博，特别是硕士毕业直接考的，要注意不要期待一年一定能考上。

2.多练内功：这个最重要。考硕的时候涉及专业的东西不多，大家都差不多，考试题目不会太深入。但是考博就大不相同了。考博是考察考生的科研能力，这里包括你的科研视角洞察力，就是你捕捉学术最前沿信息和亮点的能力；写作能力；如何开展科研的能力，就是科研方法这块；而科研能力的培养不是一朝一夕的事情，不要指望有什么捷径，这个要靠自己的勤奋钻研，勤思考，多反思。最好发几篇文章，能有核心的更好，没有的话质量不能太差。实际上导师不会很关注说考生一定要发核心期刊的文章，他们更看重的是你发表文章的质量如何。自己对自己兴趣的领域要有全面而且较为深入的了解，不能期待到博士阶段现补课。

3.你的研究方向最好和导师能保持一致，就是说导师能够指导你。如果你做的是隐喻等理论语言学的东西，就最好不要考做应用语言学的老师，理论和应用在博士阶段差别还是有点大。而且不要为了考某个老师而强迫自己放弃自己的兴趣。举个例子，如果你想考的导师专项是语料库语言学，但是你一窍不通，硕士论文做的也不是这个，这时候你要审视自己能否在这个方面有所发展，如果你不能，请你放弃考试的想法；发展你自己的兴趣；

4.现在全国博士点有30多个，选择空间比较大。可以多考虑一下。另外可以考虑心理学 教育学，因为你考上这样的专业后一样可以做英语方面的研究；

5.二外要学好；

6.不要指望靠关系考上，因为每个老师能当上博士导师，人品和学问都是一流的，这些老师不会看重社会那一套，所以关系几本不起作用；

7.复试现在一样重要，复试也要差额，所以不能认为初试过了就万事大吉，复试更看重考生的科研能力；

总结一下：

端正态度：考博不是考硕；要做持久战准备；复试要差额；关系不好使；

苦练内功：全面掌握自己感兴趣领域的东西，要站在前沿，这是必须的；确定自己的研究重点。

2．开头万能公式二：数字统计

原理：要想更有说服力，就应该用实际的数字来说明。还是靠编

According to a recent survey, about 78.9% of the college

students wanted to further their study after their graduation.看起来这个数字文邹邹的，其实都是编造出来的，下面几个题目我们都可以这样编造：Honesty根据最近的一项统计调查显示，大学生向老师请假的理由当中78%都是假的。Travel by Bike根据最近的一项统计调查显示，85%的人在近距离旅行的时候首选的交通工具是自行车。

Youth根据最近的一项统计调查显示，在某大学，学生课余时间的70%都是在休闲娱乐。Five-day Work Week Better than Six-day Work?根据最近的一项统计调查显示，98%的人同意每周五天工作日。

更多句型：A recent statistics shows that …

结尾万能公式：

1．结尾万能公式一：如此结论

说完了，毕竟要归纳一番，相信各位都有这样的经历，领导长篇大论，到最后终于冒出个“总而言之”之类的话，我们马上停止开小差，等待领导说结束语。也就是说，开头很好，也必然要有一个精彩的结尾，让读者眼前一亮，这样，你就可以拿高分了！比如下面的例子：Obviously（此为过渡短语）, we can draw the conclusion that good manners arise from politeness and respect for others.如果读者很难“显而见之”，但说无妨，就当读者眼光太浅罢了！更多过渡短语：to sum up, in conclusion, in brief, on account of this, thus

更多句型：Thus, it can be concluded that…, Therefore, we can find that…

2．结尾万能公式二：如此建议

如果说“如此结论”是结尾最没用的废话，那么“如此建议”应该是最有价值的废话了，因为这里虽然也是废话，但是却用了一个很经典的虚拟语气的句型。拽！

Obviously, it is high time that we took some measures to solve the problem.这里的虚拟语气用得很经典，因为考官本来经常考这个句型，而如果我们自己写出来，你说考官会怎么想呢？更多句型：Accordingly, I recommend that some measures be taken.Consequently, to solve the problem, some measures should be taken.

2005.3 题目解析：

“如何减少交通事故?”这道作文题目简洁明了，比较容易把握。正确地理解本题最重要的是抓住题眼，也就是“如何”这个词。本题十分明确地要求考生专门讨论解决某一现象或问题的具体措施，而有的考生没能紧紧围绕解决办法多着笔墨，而去分析交通事故这个问题背后的根源，显然无法取得理想的成绩。范文：

With the rapid development of society, more and more people in China can afford to buy a car.As a consequence, traffic accidents gradually become a serious problem and bring great inconveniences to people.In my opinion, this problem can be solved from three aspects.Firstly, our government should take drastic measures and enforce a series of effective traffic rules, which must be well acknowledged and understood by every person.Those who do not obey the rules will be punished according to the actual situation.Secondly, the Ministry of Communications should make every effort to better the poor traffic environment.We need traffic police to be responsible for their job.If our policemen can be committed to what they are doing, the traffic condition will surely be improved.Thirdly, every member of the society should realize the seriousness of traffic accidents, which not only bring mischief to the drivers themselves, but also lead their families into bitterness.As drivers, they should not drink alcohol before driving.As walkers, they should not cross the street when red light is still on.In a word, it is the task of the whole society to solve the traffic accidents.I believe the traffic accidents will be reduced through the endeavor of everyone, and our society will have a nice traffic order and environment.(220 words)

2006.3 题目解析：

本题首先列出了一个现实生活中的现象：中国虽然拥有世界上最多的人口和大量的研究工作者，却至今没能培养出一名诺贝尔奖获得者。针对这一现象，题目的要求是十分具体的，就是去分析这种现象背后的根源。换句话说，对原因的挖掘是本题的重点。

范文：

Nobel Prize, an international award given for achievements in various academic fields, has been a great honor to people from different countries.However, China, with the greatest population and a large number of research workers, has not produced a single Nobel Prize winner so far.In my opinion, various contributing factors can be identified as follows.First of all, though the educational system in China has fostered many researchers, it somehow hinders individuals’ creativity.Children are usually not valued by their unique way of thinking, but are encouraged to be obedient.Especially in the traditional cramming method of teaching, schools lay particular stress on memorization at the expense of comprehension, which has a very bad influence on students’ ability to solve difficult problems.Furthermore, for a long period in Chinese history, China had been isolated from the outside world.In ancient times, we were self-contained for self-pride, believing that China was at the center of the whole universe.In modem times, we were self-fettered for self-protection, afraid of the invasion of other countries.As a consequence, China has lagged behind in many fields including science development.Researchers in China have little idea about the research interests of their own areas.At the same time, discoveries by Chinese researchers cannot be made known to foreign countries.For instance, the clone technology was first explored by scientists from Chinese Academy of Sciences decades ago, but their research did not arouse international concern simply due to lack of communication.Fortunately, the situation mentioned above has been changing.Our educational system has improved a great deal and more and more opportunities to communicate with the external world have been offered.Therefore, I am sure that in the near future China will have one or more Nobel Prize winners.(298 words)

第四篇：英语对于考博

英语对于考博，只要是经历过考博的战友们肯定深切的感受过它的重要性，今天取这个疑似广告推销的标题并不是想哗众取宠，而是诚心的想给过我很多帮助的园子里的战友们分享下这成功绝地反击的经验体会。

我参加的是全国英语统考，去年因为对自己英语水平的过分乐观，以一分之差被拒之门外。今年痛定思痛，最终一雪前耻，而且，在复试中也全靠外语上的优势才能脱颖而出。

首先是复习的时间，如果你的英语基础不扎实，或者想在英语成绩上有长足的进步，你最需要的不是学习窍门而是时间，我是从考前四个多月开始复习英语的，而且因为已经是第二年考，时间相对充裕，第一年考的战友提前五个月以上绝对是必要的，哪怕刚开始只投入很少的时间，英语是点滴积累的过程，想必大家都明白这个道理。

关于单词。很多战友曾经提出为了保证复习效率，建议放弃单词。实际上，如果你不是真的时间非常紧迫，我认为单词绝对是重点，只有扩展了词汇量，你才能在阅读、听力、作文等的复习中更快的融会贯通，不然你永远存在着瓶颈。去年，我就因为没系统的记单词，在复习过程中总感觉很没效率。今年，我首先花一个月的时间解决单词，我推荐的方法是“重复记忆法”。具体方法参照园子里一个题为“15天搞定考博单词”帖子，效果虽然没他吹嘘的这么神，但是还是很有帮助的，对我来说最重要的是按这个方法记单词不但更有效率，也能让人更加专注，不容易走神，更有计划，同时能增强自信心。但这个方法的确是很需要毅力的，特别在中期很难坚持下来。而且在完成一个月的单词作战后，后面的复习中还是要花一些时间快速的温习记过的单词。至于采用什么单词表，我没有更多的经验，我用的是蒋跃出的模拟题后面的单词表。

关于听力。园子里已经有很多人讲解过听力的重要性和如何准备听力，其30分的分值的确是拉分的利器。有前辈提出“边听边写”是提高听力的最可靠方法，但我感觉“写”实在是很浪费时间的一个事情，所以我是边听，边在心里默念重复听到句子，要做到你能分辨的出每个单词。一篇文章，你要反复的听，反复的听每个句子，甚至反复的听某个你觉得听了反应不过来的单词，这样才能最扎实的训练你的语感和听力的反应速度。当然，也要通过一些听力模拟题和真题进行实战训练，蒋跃的《听力一本通》就是不错的选择。

关于完形填空，这部分我个人觉得详细准备的价值不大，考的大多是语法，当然也有词汇和阅读能力，在其他的复习中可以一并加强。

关于阅读。个人感觉，花大量的时间在阅读的训练上是不明智的，其实大部分人阅读的能力相差不大，而且提高阅读水平的难度是各部分中最难的。但你必须要做的是熟悉考博英语阅读的题目类型，出题习惯，出题特点，比如考博英语中往往细节题考得比较多，而且往往文章阅读的难度不大，但题目出的思维很刁钻，这些可以参考一些考博英语阅读训练材料里的理论讲解，而不用大量的做他们的练习。当然真题中的阅读是要很认真的做，并且分析题目的。

关于写作。这部分往往是让人喜欢忽略的。其实这部分是最容易提高的。去年我只是在做真题的时候实战写了几篇作文，最后考试时，作文最终也是感觉稀里糊涂。今年，我参照的是《医学博士英语统一考试—写作教程》，梁平主编。里面会教你考博写作的框架和格式，然后通过大量的翻译训练，锻炼你的语言表达能力，同时减少写作时的语法错误和拼写错误，减少这些错误才是你写作取得高分的最重要保障。最后要在每次做真题时进行实战写作训练，并且通过对照范文，发现自己的不足。今年考试中的写作，当我完成时，我就感觉一定是15分以上的。

关于真题。这个是不得不仔细研究的东西。我个人觉得将最近的10份左右的真题放在最后2个月的时间做是比较合理的。平均一个星期左右做一份真题，并且要把每次真题的训练当成考试，严格按照实际考试的时间来做题，做完后，必须要大量的时间来分析这些题目。

唧唧歪歪说了这么多，可能很多人觉得并没有什么诀窍可言，但其实只要你具备了足够的“决心和毅力”，一切诀窍都可以是浮云。最后真心祝所有即将和正在奋斗在考博道路上的战友梦想成真！

To many web-building spiders, most of whom are nearly blind, the web is their essential window on the world: their means of communicating, capturing prey（猎物）, meeting mates and protecting themselves.A web-building spider without its web is like a men cast away on an island of solid rock，totally out of touch and destined to starve to death.by controlpanel

So important is the web to an orb-web spider's survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs daily even if it is being starved.For 16 days the starving spider builds completely normal webs.Then, as the animal gets scrawnier（憔悴的），it constructs a wider-meshed web using fewer strands（线）.Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more economical from the perspective of a starving spider.by controlpanel

The spider stores energy by recycling web protein.It simply eats its own web each evening and reuses it to produce new silk.In studies with radioactively，labeled materials, it was found that 95 percent of web protein reappears in the next day' web.Most of the energy needed for web-building is used in walking over the strands as they are laid down．by controlpanel

Scientists are impressed by the adaptability of the spider's highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger for its size than the brain of any other invertebrate（无脊推动物）．If web-building is interrupted, or if some of the existing strands are destroyed，the spider simply goes back to see where the web is left off and then finishes building a normal web.One spider will finish building the incomplete web of another.by controlpanel 1.A title that would best express the main idea of the passage would be.A.Secrets of Spiders.B.Secrets of the Web C.Secrets of Nature D.A New Discovery of Scientists 2.According to the passage which of the following statements is true A.All web-building spiders are blind B.Most spiders are blind C.Only a small part of web-building spiders can see.D.All spiders can weave webs.3.Without its web a web-building spider would NOT be able to.A.walk quickly B.see the prey clearly C.conserve its energy D.survive 4.A spider conserves its energy.A.because it constructs new webs daily B.as it walks over the strands it lays C.by eating its own web protein and then re-using it in the new web D.by eating only in the evening 5.That a spider is able to finish an incomplete web of another proves that.A.a spider re-uses its web energy to reproduce new silk B.spiders have a highly preprogrammed brain C.the web is everything to a spider D.a spider is able to remedy a destroyed web.(B)出自1997年1月托福阅读全真试题

Large animals that inhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations for reducing the effects of extreme heat.One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than absorb the Sun’s rays.Desert mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of maintaining a constant body temperature.Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature deep inside the body, which would involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what would normally be fever height, and temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured in Grant’s gazelles.The overheated body then cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the temperature may fall unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel.This is an advantage since the heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming up the body, and an excessive buildup of heat does not begin until well into the day.by controlpanel Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that would be fatal for non-adapted animals.The camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body weight as water without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of their body weight.An equally important adaptation is the ability to replenish this water loss at one drink.Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over 100 liters in a few minutes.A very dehydrated person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water to rehydrate at one session, because the human stomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the body fluids causes death from water intoxication.The tolerance of water loss is of obvious advantage in the desert, as animals do not have to remain near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing sparse and far-flung pastures.Desert-adapted mammals have the further ability to feed normally when extremely dehydrated, it is a common experience in people that appetite is lost even under conditions of moderate thirst.by controlpanel 6.What is the main topic of the passage?

(A)Weather variations in the desert

(B)Adaptations of desert animals

(C)Diseased of desert animals

(D)Human use of desert animals.7.According to the passage, why is light coloring an advantage to large desert animals?

(A)It helps them hide from predators.(B)It does not absorb sunlight as much as dark colors.(C)It helps them see their young at night

(D)It keeps them cool at night.8.The author uses of Grant’s gazelle as an example of

(A)an animal with a low average temperature

(B)an animal that is not as well adapted as the camel(C)a desert animal that can withstand high body temperatures

(D)a desert animal with a constant body temperature

Proper arrangement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction.Most of us have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort in our work.College classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking.by controlpanel We may be approaching the twenty-first century, but step into almost any college classroom and you step back in time at least a hundred years.Desks are normally in straight row, so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates.The assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious.Everything of importance comes from the teacher.by controlpanel With a little imagination and effort, unless desks are fixed to floor, the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourage interchange among students.In small or standard-size classes, chairs, desks, and tables can be arranged in a variety of ways.The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to see everyone else.Larger classes, particularly those held in lecture halls, unfortunately, allow much less flexibility.Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problem-solving exercises.Small classes with movable desks and tables present no problem.Even in large lecture halls, it is possible for students to turn around and form groups of four to six.Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other, think out loud, and see how other students’ thinking processes operate all essential elements in developing new modes of critical thinking.In courses that regularly use a small group format, students might be asked to stay in the small groups throughout the course.A colleague of mine, John, allows students to move around during the first two weeks, until they find a group they are comfortable with.John then asks them to stay in the same seat, with the same group, from that time on.This not only creates a comfortable setting for interaction but helps him learn students’ names and faces.by controlpanel 11.The primary purpose of desk rearrangement is_______.A.For the teacher to divide students into small groups.B.To make it possible for students to interact with each other.CFor the teacher to find out how students think.D.To give students more opportunities to practice speaking.3 12.The expression “step back in time at least a hundred years”(in Para.1)is intended to convey the idea that_______.A.College classrooms often reminded people of their college life.B.Critical thinking was encouraged even a century ago.C.A hundred years ago, desk arrangement in a classroom was quite different.D.There is not much change in educational idea over the past hundred years.13.The greatest advantage in allowing each student to find his own group might be that________ AThe teacher saves the trouble in doing that.B.Learning is made comfortable in this way.C.The teacher can easily remember students’ names and faces.D.Brighter students can help slower ones.14.All the following statements are true according to the passage except that

_________.A.New kinds of desks and chairs should be made.B.It is feasible for teacher to let students turn around and form groups of four to six even in large lecture halls.C.Classroom interaction between students is essential to the training of critical thinking.D.A comfortable environment leads to higher working efficiency.15.The author mentioned John in Para.5 in order to ________ A.Create a comfortable setting for interaction.B.Give an example that students stay in the same seat throughout the course.C.Describe a good seat-arrangement mode in courses with small group format.D.Introduce an approach if learning students’ names and faces easily.(E)出自2006年12月英语六级新题型模拟试题

The ordinary family in colonial North America was primarily concerned with sheer physical survival and beyond that，its own economic prosperity．Thus，children were valued in terms of their productivity and they assumed the role of producer quite early．Until they fulfilled this role，their position，in the structure of the family was one of subordination，and their psychological need and capacities received little consideration．

As the society became more complex，the status（地位）of children in the family and in the society became more important．In the complex technological society that the United States has become，each member must fulfill a number of personal and occupational roles and be in constant contact with a great many other members．Consequently，viewing children as potentially acceptable and necessarily multifaceted（多方面的）member of society means that they are regarded more as people in their own right than as utilitarian（功利的）organisms ．This acceptance of children as equal participants in the contemporary family is reflected in the variety of statutes protecting the rights of children and in the social and public welfare programs devoted exclusively to their well-being．

This new view of children and the increasing contact between the members of society has also resulted in a surge of interest in child-rearing techniques．People today spend a considerable portion of their time conferring on the proper way to bring up children．It is now possible to influence the 4 details of the socialization of another person's child by spreading the gospel（原则、信条）of current and fashionable theories and methods of child rearing． by controlpanel The socialization of the contemporary child in the United States is a two-way transaction between parent and child rather than a one-way parent-to-child training program．As a consequence，socializing children and living with them over a long period of time is for parents a mixture of pleasure，satisfaction，and problem．

16．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？

A）The Place of Children in United States Society B）The Children of Colonial North America C）The Development of Cultural Values D）The Child as a Utilitarian Organism

17．According to the author，children in colonial North America were mainly valued for their ．

A）academic achievements B）survival instincts

C）physical characteristics D）productive roles

18．What can be inferred from the passage about formal schooling in colonial North America？

A）Children were taught to learn from other children's success．

B）Children were taught to be more productive．

C）Schooling at that time was very undeveloped．

D）Teachers and parents would pay much attention to the children's psychological needs．

19．Which of the following does the author mention as a cause of changes in the role of the child in the United States？ by controlpanel A）An increase in technology．

B）The growing complexity of the child's psychological needs．

C）A decrease in the child's intellectual capacities．

D）The growing number of single parent families．

20．According to the passage parents have become increasingly interested in ____ ．

A）their children's future occupations B）having smaller families

The second most important constituent of the biosphere is liquid water.This can only exist in a very narrow range of temperatures, since water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C.This is

only a tiny range compared with the low temperatures of some

other planets and the hot interior of the earth, let the temperature __1__ of the sun.by controlpanel As we know, life would only be possible on the face of a __2__ planet had temperatures somewhere within this range.__3__ The earth’s supply of water probably remains quite fairly constant __4__ in quantity.A certain number of hydrogen atoms, which are one of the main constituents of water, are lost by escaping from the atmosphere to out space, but they are probably just __5__ about to be replaced by new water rising away from the depths of the __6__ earth during volcanic action.The total quantity of water is not

known, and it is about enough to cover the surface of the globe __7__ to a depth of about two and three-quarter kms.Most of it—97% is in the form of the salt waters of the oceans.The rest is fresh, but three quarter of this is in the form of ice at the Poles __8__ and on mountains, and cannot be used by living systems when __9__ melted.Of the remaining fraction, which is somewhat fewer __10__ than 1%of the whole, there is 10-20 times as much stored as underground water as is actually on the surface.There is also a minor，but extremely important, fraction of the water supply by controlpanel which is present as water vapour in the atmosphere.答案：

1.Let ^the 加入alone.Let alone 意为“更不用说”，表示一种让步关系。2.face-surface 根据上下文理解，应该指地球的表面。

3.planet^had 加入which或that。这样使得planet后面的句子成为一个定语从句。4.去掉fairly或quite 意思重复。5.out改成outer 这里指外层空间。6.去掉away rise后面不接away。

7.and改成although 短文中这里是让步关系，而不是并列关系。

8.quarter改成quarters 英语表达中，当分子是二以上的数时，分母应为复数。

9.when改成until或者unless 根据上下文，这句话的意思应为:除非（冰雪)融化，否则（地球上的）生命系统就无法利用水。所以when在这里的意思有误。

10.fewer改成less 文中的remaining fraction 仍指水，因此不能用fewer，要用less。

Part Ⅰ Listening Comprehension ⅡReading Comprehension(20 points)

Traffic statistics paint a gloomy picture.To help solve their traffic woes, some rapidly growing U.S.cities have simply built more roads.But traffic experts say building more roads is a quick-fix solution that will not alleviated the traffic problem in the long run.Soaring land costs, increasing concern over social and environmental disruptions caused by road-building, and the likelihood that more roads can only lead to more cars and traffic are powerful factors bearing down on a 1950s-style construction program.

The goal of smart-highway technology is to make traffic systems work at optimum efficiency by treating the road and the vehicles traveling on them as an integral transportation system.Proponents of the advanced technology say electronic detection systems, closed-circuit television, radio communication, ramp metering, variable message signing, and other smart-highway technology can now be used at a reasonable cost to improve communication between drivers and the people who monitor traffic.

hPathfinder, a Santa Monica, California-based smart-highway project in which a 14-mile stretch of the Santa Monica Freeway, making up what is called a “smart corridor”, is being instrumented with buried loops in the pavement.Closed-circuit television cameras survey the flow of traffic, while communication linked to property equipped automobiles advise motorists of the least congested routes or detours.

Not all traffic experts, however, look to smart-highway technology as the ultimate solution to traffic gridlock.Some say the high-tech approach is limited and can only offer temporary solutions to a serious problem.

kaobo.cn,kaobo.org“Electronics on the highway addresses just one aspect of the problem: how to regulate traffic more efficiently,” explains Michael Renner, senior researcher at the world-watch Institute.“It doesn't deal with the central problem of too many cars for roads that can't be built fast enough.It sends people the wrong message.They start thinking “Yes, there used to be a traffic congestion problem, but that's been solved now because we have, advanced high-tech system in place.” Larson agrees and adds, “Smart highways is just one of the tools that we use to deal with our traffic problems.It's not the solution itself, just pan of the package.There are different strategies.”

Other traffic problem-solving options being studied and experimented with include car pooling, rapid mass-transit systems, staggered or flexible work hours, and road pricing, a system whereby motorists pay a certain amount for the time they use a highway.

It seems that we need a new, major thrust to deal with the traffic problems of the next 20 years.There has to be a big change.

A.Smart Highway Projects—The Ultimate Solution to Traffic Congestion. B.A Quick Fix Solution for the Traffic Problems. C.A Venture to Remedy Traffic Woes.

B.A problem is examined and complementary solutions are proposed or offered. C.Latest developments are outlined in order of importance. D.An innovation is explained with its importance emphasized. Passage 2 A strange thing about humans is their capacity for blind rage.Rage is presumably an emotion resulting from survival instinct, but the surprising thing about it is that we do not deploy it against other animals.If we encounter a dangerous wild animal—a poisonous snake or a wildcat—we do not fly into a temper.If we are unarmed, we show fear and attempt to back away;if we are suitably armed, we attack, but in a rational manner not in a rage.We reserve rage for our own species.It is hard to see any survival value in attacking one's own, but if we take account of the long competition which must have existed between our own subspecies and others like Neanderthal man—indeed others still more remote from us than Neanderthal man—man rage becomes more comprehensible.In our everyday language and behavior there are many reminders of those early struggles.We are always using tile words “us and them”.“Our” side is perpetually trying to do down the “other” side.In games we artificially create other subspecies we can attack.The opposition of “us” and “them” is the touchstone of the two-party system of “democratic” politics.Although there are no very serious consequences to many of this modern psychological representation of the “us and them” emotion, it is as well to remenber that the original aim was not to beat the other subspecies in a game but to exterminate it.

The readiness with which human beings allow themselves to be regimented has permitted large armies to be formed, which, taken together with the “us and them” blind rage, has led to destructive clashes within Our subspecies itself.The First World War is an example in which Europe divided itself into two imaginary subspecies.And there is a similar extermination battle now in Northern Ireland.The idea that there is a religious basis for this clash is illusory, for not even the pope has been able to control it.The clash is much more primitive than the Christian religion, much older in its emotional origin.The conflict in Ireland is unlikely to stop until a greater primitive fear is imposed from outside the community, or until tile combatants become exhausted. 6.A suitable title for this passage would be __________. A.Wily Human Armies Are Formed B.Man's Anger Against the World C.The Human Capacity for Rage D.Early Straggles of Angry Mail
