大学英语四级

注意：1.答题顺序：了解每个部分的分值，考试时间可能不够，就要懂得取舍。像分值不高又花时间的部分可以最后做，例如翻译，阅读理解的sectionB.翻译一定不要花太久时间。听力

听力重在训练，每天都要听一点，做真题练习。练习的时候先看选项，再听。听力听多了，自然就听懂了。

阅读理解

SectionA

1.在下面单词中标示出你认识的单词的意思

2.分类写出所有词的词性，比如adj-形容词，n-名词，adv-副词，等。

3.再看原文，先根据上下文，讲你知道的答案选出来，选一个划掉一个。再看原文中未填的空，联系前后文，判断那个空应该是什么词性的词，如啊、a _ woman,中间肯定是形容词性的词，最后从相对应已分类好词性的词中选。

4.最后通读全文，检查一遍

这样做题的好处是降低错误率，节省时间。

SectionB

这一部分需要将每一段英文配对其主要段落大意，做题关键是

1.先将A、B、C、、、、中每一段话中的中心词用铅笔划出来，主要是名词和形容词，特别注意一些人名地名等，可以一次性地将A-J所有段落的中心词都划出来

2.再看46-55题的答案主旨，同样也标示出中心词，根据中心词你大概就可以判断哪一个段落对应哪一题，同样也是选一个划掉一个，剩下一些不太确定的再根据段意来选。好处是做题又快又准

SectionC

重点：1.记单词，单词是基础。（平时做阅读理解的真题时，可以将其中不认识的单词圈出来，查阅并记住）

3.多做题，提高阅读理解，练习是关键。

4.先看选项，带着问题去文中找答案

5.注意出题目的顺序肯定是和答案在文中出现的顺序一样

6.先做细节题，主旨题最后做

翻译题

如果复习时间不多的话，就将真题的题目和答案对照着看，重要结构和词组注意一下 作文

基本上你背下2-3篇范文就差不多了，连词一定要记住，还有可以通用的很好的结尾都要注意

范文五People’s Use of the Internet

1.上图所示为2001年7月、2002年7月、2003年1月我国上网用户总人数，请描述其变化;

2.请说明发生这些变化的原因;

3.你认为目前用户在因特网使用中有什么困难或问题。

【范文】

From the chart we can see clearly that the number of Internet surfers in our country has increased from 26.5 million in July 2001 to 45.8 million in July 2002, and then to 59.1 million in January 2003.In my mind, the reasons why the Internet surfers are on the rise are as follows.First, the Internet can help us accomplish many tasks, including both work and play—searching for information has become more convenient than ever, and safe online business is no longer a dream.Besides, surfing the Internet is becoming cheaper and cheaper—more and more people can afford it.The negative effects of the Internet are also clear.To begin with, sitting too long before the computers is harmful to our body, especially our eyes.Second, more and more people become indulged in playing video games or chatting online, which are time-consuming.All in all, I should say the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.The key lies in whether we can make good use of it to enhance both work and study.【点评】

首段叙述从2001年至2003年我国上网用户总人数的变化趋势。第二段分两方面给出其中的原因：首先是因特网方便快捷、作用巨大;其次是费用降低。第三段分两个方面指出面临的困难和问题：首先是上网时间过长有害健康;其次是有些人上网玩游戏、聊天，这都是不好的习惯。第四段做总结：第一句指出利大于弊;第二句说关键在于好好利用因特网。

第二段首句中的in my mind意思是“依我看，在我看来”;第三段中的be harmful to意为“对„„有伤害”，become indulged in意思是“沉迷于”，time-consuming是“浪费时间”的意思;最后一段首句中的outweigh意为“比„„重要”。

On Credit Card

At present, a wide vareity of credit cards issued by major banks and shopping malls are thriving in colleges and universities across the nation, with a multitude of college students making up a growing population of card holders.Indeed, one out of five students is estimated to be in possession of at least one credit card, and the figure is expected to be on the steady increse, the latest data published by Yangtze Evening Post suggests。

Like anything prior to the emergence of this small piece of plastic, the increasing popularity of credit card on campus has both bright and dark sides.On the one hand, young adults in college, free from the trouble of pocketing a considerable sum of cash, could enjoy the convenience of credit cards and purchase expensive goods by installments.On the other hand, however, the irresponsible and excessive use of the cards by these youngsters, the majority of whom are fresh out of middle school incapable of budgeting their money, can make them heavily in debt which will take them years to pay off。

On my personal level, while enjoying a host of conveniences the credit card may bring, we couldn’t afford to ignore a conspicious fact: in most cases, parents are our sole financial sources.Instead of spending without any restrict, we are supposed to put studies on the top of our agenda and move ourselves beyond heavy dependence upon our parents。

There are some individuals who argue that, compared to the environment protection, the top priority is supposed to given to economic development.They deem that environmental problems are inevitable and unavoidable in the process of economic development.They are only the by products of economic development, which can be handled later when we have the time and money.However, other individuals hold different opinions that(或者：other holders of the opposite opinions argue that)environment protection should be attached more importance than economic development in that present serious environmental problems will threaten the health of the residents and hinder the advance of the economy.As far as I am concerned, environmental protection and economic development can coexist in parallel and can stay in harmony.Our ultimate aim in economic development is to provide a comfortable and happy life for our people.What is the point of economic development if we achieve it at the cost of our environment? There has been much evidence to prove that a balance between the two helps more rapid and continuous development of the society.

The importance of learning basic skills What we can see from the cartoon is that the teacher is instructing the students some basic mathematic skills.However, some students are wondering that if it will be outdated in the future.The picture implicitly raises the question of the importance of the fundamental skills us students learn in our classes.It is worth mentioning that those seemingly basic and elementary skills we learned in school actually play a significantly indispensable role in our future works.The pervasive undervaluation on elementary skills that we find among current students and even some teachers can largely be attributed to their lack of vision of future and thorough understanding on the knowledge.After all, its an obvious truth that we could not build a magnificent mansion without solid foundations;we could not enjoy a long travel unless we make a solid start at first.Those basic skills may look simple to learn, but without them it will not be simple at all to achieve further goals.
