第一篇:[2010四六级] 四六级学员心得:新东方给我新起点
知道新东方是很久以前的事了,那时还是在高中,憧憬着美好的大学生活,心想有一天我也会如同自己梦想中那所大学里的学生一样,为了通过四六级英语考试,为了考研,坐在新东方的课堂里。
然而,我的高考失利了,美好的憧憬被打破,度过了一个灰暗而迷茫的暑假,在很长的一段时间里没有欢乐,没有希望,更没有对于自己未来的规划。
我想自己是怀着一种与很多人都不同的情绪进入大学校园的吧,因为无法自我接纳,所以拼命地想要去改变现状,将自己封闭,独自在自习室里学习到深夜。但是,这样的状况却在不久后发生了变化。一日,在书店里我看到了《新东方英语》,翻开后,卷首语是俞敏洪一篇名为《不要给自己的成长设定界限》的文章,在文章中有这样一段话给了我很深的触动:“我们每个人都渴望公平,但这个社会并不存在绝对的公平。我们出生的时候,就会因家庭条件不同,长相不同,智商不同而存在先天性的差异。但我们不能因为出身贫寒,长得丑陋或生性愚顿就活不下去。从一辈子的角度来说,人生的起点不可控,但终点却是由我们自己来选择的。我们要做的,就是通过自己的努力,在一个不公平的社会中获取一个相对公平的结果。罗梭说过:„人生而平等,却无往不在枷锁之中。‟我们没有必要抱怨现实,我们要做的是去改变现实;我想把这句话改成:„人生而不平等,却无往不在打破我们生命枷锁的过程之中。‟我们不要抱怨别人看轻我们,我们要做的是通过自己的努力获得别人的尊重。”于是,我开始反思自己一段时间以来对于生活和学习的态度,认识到了自己的心态里含有了一丝偏执,缺失了一种平凡。
虽然只是一篇短短的文章,但是新东方开始在我心里变得深重,我能够体会到有一种精神蕴涵在这所机构其中。我改变了自己无法自我接纳和急功近利的心态,试图去拥有那种俞敏洪在文章中所述的淡定,不计较,将是非成败皆视若过眼烟云,敢于担当成功,也敢于担当失败的平凡心态。正是这一次的改变,让我重新踏上了奋斗的征途。
自此以后,《新东方英语》一直陪伴着我,我心里清楚自己真正想读到的其实是能够代
表新东方精神的那每一期杂志上俞敏洪所写的卷首语。俞敏鸿另外一篇名为《把冠军定义为一种精神状态》的文章同样给了我颇多的感触,他在其中写道:“能否对得起自己的一辈子,绝对不是一次名次的问题,而是到底有没有气魄勇敢前行的问题:在别人讽刺,打击你的时候走下去,在社会看不起你的时候走下去,在遭遇失败和挫折的时候走下去。如果你站在失败的„累累尸骨‟前依然不愿意低头,如果你摔倒了一万次后还要在第一万零一次爬起来,你就是冠军。”这让我更加坚定了自己改变自我定位,改变个人心态的意念;让我懂得了什么是真正的冠军,什么是真正的奋斗;真正的冠军是在于他的昂首挺胸和勇往直前,真正的奋斗在于整个前进过程中反复的跌倒与爬起,重复的承担失败与成功。
通过这样的改变,今年3月至6月的英语四级备考过程中,我不断地调整、转换自己以往的学习方法,尤其是在学习中遇到所谓从量变到质变间那段艰难的“空白期”该如何过渡,我得出了自己的结论,就是无所畏惧,始终坚持。因此,我的英语四级取得了良好的成绩。
正式进入新东方学习是在今年8月,还记得报名的那天英语四级考试成绩并没有公布,不知是哪来的一种力量,让我清晨就满怀信心的去新东方英语六级辅导班报了名,还有些许兴奋。当英语四级成绩公布后,我理解了自己那日的信心和兴奋,新东方已经在我心中扎下了根,她一次又一次的赋予了我改变的力量,让我顺利度过每个阶段的转折点,踏上新的起点。
在新东方的课堂上,我才真正触及到了新东方精神深处。无论是阅读课、听力课、写作课,还是语法课、综合课、词汇课,我所遇到的每一位老师都能给我一种积极向上,乐于进取的精神,他们的授课方式诙谐幽默,轻松和谐,让我体会到学习原来是如此的充满欢乐与激情。有时候,我感觉自己似乎是被带领着和一群通往相同目标的伙伴们在急速奔跑,快乐且精力充沛。
成为新东方学员三个月后的今天,我的心中仍留有报名那天的兴奋。新东方似乎是一个力量之源,不论何时,不论何种境遇,她能给我的不仅仅是前进的方向,还有蜕变的动力。改变,是人生中每一个新的起点。新东方改变了我对人生的态度,让我学会用平凡的心态对待现实,用冠军的精神面对未来;她改变了我对学习本身的认知,使我懂得学习不是一件成就名与利的工具,需要用心去揣摩其中道理,用毅力去坚持其中规矩;她改变了我对自己的定位,将我带到奋斗的正轨起点,让我清楚自己不是一个失败者,而是一个奋斗者。
那日,好友传简讯问候:“好久不见,还在上新东方吗?”我回复:“是的,我爱新东方。”此刻,我想起了一句词,“我是先生门下士,相逢有酒且教斟,高山流水遇知音。”

第三篇:四六级做题总结(新东方)
一、关于听力!!
第一招:相关保留原 则
当选项中有两项表达意思相近时,那么正确答案必在这两项之中!这时只需稍微听一听对话,即可知答案,如果出现了双重相关,便可直接确认 正确选项,只需听完对话加之认证一下即可!
典型例题:
4.A)Visiting the Browning.B)Writing a postcard.C)Looking for a postcard.D)Filling in a form.例题分析:B、C两项均含有 a poscard,B、D两项均含有写...之意,即B、C和B、D构成双重相关,即可得出B为正确选项!
本题听力原文:
4.M: What's the matter? You've been sitting there for ages, just staring into space.W: I told the Browning I'd send them a postcard.Now I don't know what to say.Q: What's the woman doing? 第二 招:异项保留原则
当选项中出现有意思明显相反的两项时,那么正确答案必在此二项中出现!如果出现双重异项,那么 即可判断出正确答案,异项保留原则在六级考试听力短对话中应用广泛!
典型例题:
6.A)She can’t finish her assignment, either.B)She can’t afford a computer right now.C)The man can use her computer.D)The man should buy a computer right away.例题分析:A、B异项,A项的意思是她现在有电脑,B项的 意思则是她现在没有电脑。B、D异项,B是说女方无电脑,而D是说男方无电脑,男女也是一种反意关系。所以根据双重异项原则可确定正确答案为B项!
本 题听力原文:
6.M: I'm frustrated.We're supposed to do our assignment on the computer, but I have difficulty getting access to the computers in the library.W: I understand the way you feel.I'm looking forward to the day when I can afford to get my own.Q: What does the woman mean? 第三招:女士保留原 则
做题做多了,我们应该了解西方人的思维方式,当对话中出现女士的建议和要求时,我们一定要注意,这时女士说出来的话很可能就是正确选项 的异意!因为女士经常以女神的形象出面,她们代表的是美好、正面、阳光的信息!
典型例题:
9.A)The man should stick to what he’s doing.B)The man should take up a new hobby.C)The man should stop playing tennis.D)The man should find the cause for his failure.例题分析:通过选项我们可以分析出男人做一些事情遇到了困难,这时一位女人出来安慰男人,根据 女神原则可知女人一定会让男人坚持把这件事情做下去,而不要放弃,这样的题型太多了,所以可呈现出一定的规律性!
本题听力原文:
9.M: I think I'm going to give up playing tennis.I lost again today.W: Just because you lost? It that the reason to quit? Q: What does the woman imply? 第四招:概括、抽象保 留原则
当选项中出现比较概括、抽象的句子时,这时我们就要把表述 事实的、具体的句子划掉,而去选择表概、抽象、比较性的句子!此原则可衍生出一个包含取大的原则,在作题时应用也是十分的广泛,一般当两个选项的意思接近时,表述比较全面的一般为正确选项!
典型例题:
7.A)The visiting economist has given several lectures.B)The guest lecturer’s opinion is different from Dr.Johnson’s.C)Dr.Johnson and the guest speaker were schoolmates.D)Dr.Johnson invited the economist to visit their college
例题分析:A、C、D均为表述事实的句子,只有B项为对 比、比较的句子,较之A、C、D项更为抽象的表述了一件事情,所以B项为正确选项!
本题听力原文:
7.M: The visiting economist is speaking tonight, but Dr.Johnson doesn't seem to think much of him.W: That's because Dr.Johnson comes from an entirely different school of thought.Q: What do we learn from the woman's remark? 第五招:态度和虚拟保留原则
这两种方法一般无单独命题的规律性,只是作为上述四种宏观 方法的辅助方法出现,当只剩下两个选项时,通常正态度的选项容易是正确答案,表虚拟的选项更容易是正确答案!

三、如何准备四级阅读
1、练习阅读方法,提高阅读速度。传统的三种方 法:1)先看文章后作题。是用这种方法应注意三点:
1、注意文章中心与作者基本观点,即抓大的放小的。
2、注意重要细节的位置,第一遍阅读时在了解主题之后知道某个东西在哪里,胜过你知道他是什么。
3、阅读速度稍快。不能过分沉迷于原文,速度要快一点。
2)先看问题再读文章 要抓对重点 适用于文章:
1、难度较大的文章
2、只包含一两段的流水账文章。流水账文章段落少层次感较差,可以先看题目看清问题,确定大概的位置。
3、细节题较多的文 章。缺点:对主题把握不够明确。
3)读一层意思做一道题,读文章做题交叉进行。本方法适用于:
1、段落较多的文章
2、阅读速度较慢的同学。注 意事项:1每次阅读一小段或者一长段的一半2阅读速度比第一种阅读方法要稍慢一些,力求弄清本段意思3每次读新的内容之前,最好把接下来要回答的问题要先 看一下。每篇文章为9分钟,读原文要5分钟,做题要4分钟 注意不良的阅读习惯:1逐词指读 正确方法要读意群 2出声阅读
2、分析句 子结构 注意句子的主干,其他可以不看
3、熟悉体型 主题(main mainly primary primarily中心思想 写作目的 标题)细节(定位原文 关注考试原则)词意(包括指带 上下文推断词义 词根)推理(细节性推理题 infer题型 conclude题型)态度(表示态度的首段 选项的含义)
4、课外阅读 主要是看复旦大学和上海交大的书
5、授课内容与方式 对阅读一般性了解,结合一篇文章讲一讲四级的阅读方法 细节题的导入 3细节题考试原则常考的语言现象 5主题方面的总结 8 难题穿一穿
四级一般的阅读方法和做题方法概括四句话:1扫读题干关键词 2浏览原文作标记 3比较选项得答案 4迅速排除省力气 其中核心是浏览原文作标记
可以标记的地方:1指示性的具体信息 如时间、人物、数字 2与文章结构有关的中心信息 包括:主题句 转折词(but however yet出现这几个词的时候一般都会考到)其他标记题号 考试原则
文章首句出现定义或者概念,通常就是主题
出现转折必会考到
主题在末段的可能性接近于零0 任何 主题题型只要选项包含细节就直接错误,不管它有大多伟大 按时间顺序阐述的文章主题通常在首末段,尤其是首段
细节题定为原则:细节出现多次,优 先考虑首次定位
原文有个词,再在选项中弄一个与其相类似的单词作干扰选项
作词义题的方法:根据上下文确定同义或反义的关系
两 个动词分不开的时候看主语 doubt or challenge 一般的理科文章只要作者不是骂骂咧咧的,他的口气态度一般都是客观的
出现连串数字或者年代时常被考到
流水账文章一般不考主题
一道题答案有疑问 时,找特殊位置,找特殊语言现象
这篇文章给我们的启发是文章中有些句子比其他句子要更加重要一些。重要局:有些句子常被考到位于特殊位置。主要 包括三种:1)各段首句2)全文末句3)文中结论解释句
问句在第一段首末常有意义,与主题挂钩。其他地方的问句大都是调侃的现场不要老分析它的 意思。
一个选项有毛病主要是形容、词副词在作怪。
作那种四个选项哪个是对的题目,注意:1)正确答案一般针对全文或者段落主题2)通 过排除得到正确答案
细节题小结
一、做题步骤
1、根据问题中的关键词回原文定位。关键词包括1)一般为名词或名词词组2)优 先考虑的关键词:①专有名词,包括人名和带“”的词②数字、时间③形容词和副词④比较或因果语言现象
2仔细阅读包含关键词的句子,在本句、上下 句寻找线索。
3、将包含线索的句子与选项进行比较,对线索句进行同义替换的为正确答案。同义替换有三种方式:①关键词替换②正话反说③语言简化
二、按照顺序寻找答案
由于细节题的排列顺序,一般对应原文的叙述顺序,所以一般按顺序寻找答案。
三、难以定位的细节题的处 理方式
四、细解题错位的做题方法
列举原则:①原文连续提3-4项叫列举 ②列举这种语言现象常与except题型相对应 ③问某一段没有提到什么,其他段落的内容通常成为正确答案。四级里分散列举比较少
关于实验型文章
①在实验型文章中,通常可以根据问题中的动词定位 ②答案基本上按顺序寻找
实 验型文章包括:①代表人物 ②实验目的 实验目的=主题=1。2段的目的不定式 ③实验结果 有实验结果的句子一般被考到,其他的都是小细节。实验结果一般都是以动词来体现的。实验型文章的试验目的一般相对确定,多次问试验目的一般都指 向同一个结果
——四级考试中一般有五个表示试验结果的重要动词:find, show, identify, observe, notice一般看到含有这几个词的句子要注意,通常看后面有没有类似的词出现在问题中;反之,看到问题中有这几个词的时候要到文章中找这几个词,这些都 是近义词。
实验型文章实验目的指向主题或目的不定式
第一段首末出现转折常 与主体挂钩.文章中没有主题句时,综合各段首句,其中共有的词汇为本文的主题词。
问 标题的基本思路:①寻找本文的主题词 ②注意选项范围的大小(不能过小不能过大)91-6-38 问题中含有文中的主题词时,正确答案针对段落主 题,在主题句中找
在四级中 when as if 这三个词,在问题中出现一个,就在原文中找没有when 就找as或者 if,条件句找条件句。
根据动词词组的副词确定意思,常见的副词有:①back 向后,阻挡 ②off 脱离③on 继续
④down 向下
比较原则
一、比较结构
1、比较级,比较级的表现形式是+er或more。
2、最高级,最高级表现形式 是+est 或 most。
3、词汇首段,作为比较来考的词汇有:——like,unlike,different from ,differ from
4、句型结构 ——as……as
二、绝对意义 ——first , least, none
三、唯一性 ——only solely unique 如何思考:
1、将问题中或选项中的比较原则与原文类似语言现象相对应
2、文章中的比较原则 一般都对应后文的问题,四级原文出现比较要敏锐的感觉道一般都会有一道题目的。特别是全文的段首句、段末句和文章中心解释句。
3、选项中出现比 较在原文找不到对应时,该选项直接错误。Only most less more 指代原则
一、做题步骤:
1、返回原文找到 指代词所在的位置
2、向上搜索名词性的词组或句子
3、用四个选项替换该指代题
二、判断原则——简单地说是就近指代。就近指 代是代词指代在主格宾格、单复数、位置、意义等方面与之接近的名词。
三、补充说明
——this that it such 既可以指代单数名词,也可以指代他们之前的句子。
问段落唯一的例子的意思,答案指向 段落主题句。问一个类比或例子不能照抄原文的。实在没有办法就看这个段落那个单词出现的次数多,就可能是本段的主题词。
如果在问题中遇到 various change alter different 中的一个词,在文中必有其中另一个词。
如果四个选项中有两个意思是相反的,那么其中必有一个是正确的;如果有两个意思都是一样的,那么这两个选项一定都是错误的。
许多选项出现:文章里是客观描述,结果到了选项里变成了主观性的描述,这些选项是错误的——这 是四级常用的陷阱。
选项中口气太绝的也是错误的
出题的位置包括:
1、重要句,重要句包括:①各段首末句 ②文中结论解释句
2、特殊语言现象,包 括:比较、转折、数字、因果和例子(尤其是很长的例子的时候他喜欢考)。
当文章的主 题句、中心思想很难找的时候,可以看在文章的段首段尾句、关键的句子里出现多的单词,一般是主题词;另一种方法是看5个题目中的各个选项出现次数比较多的 词也可能是主题词。
文章第一段出现问句,应该特别关注。
句子题的做题思路:①分析句子的结构,包含这个句子主干的选项为正确答案②看上下句,确定同义或反义关系。
文章比较难的学习方法
1、先找主题
2、学会这一类文章的看法,这类文章的共同特点是:语言难度高,背景较为复杂的文章。出题的方向有:①先看题目②抓重要和特殊语言现象③段落的论述通常从 两个方面进行。
主题题型
一、1、有主题句时,与主题句相对应的为正确答案
——如何找主题句:主题句具有总结性,一般位于文中三个地方①全文首句(出现得最多)②一段末句,一段末句出现转折或结论时常出现主题。③第二 段的一、二句,二段对一段进行总结或否定时常出现主题。例如进行总结的文章;进行否定的文章;
2、文中没有主题句时,各段首句相加,其中共有的 词汇为本文的主体词,必须出现在主题题型的正确答案中。
主题词的特征有:①一般为名词或名词词组;②出现频率较高;③一般位于段落首句。
二、根据语言提示寻找主题
1、根据文章结构确定主题,常见的结构有:①结论解释型的文章,结论为主题所在。一般首句是个判断句或者有态度时就常是结 论,尤其是首句之后紧跟较长的例子或细节时。
②现象解释型的文章,解释为文章主题所在。——问句出现在一段首末句,问句等于现象。回答就是主 题。
③问题解决方案型文章,解决方案为文章主题。2001年6月第一篇
2、文章首句中的主题名词,尤其是主语在后文被重复时,暗示首 句为本文的主题句。
三、主题题型的变体
1、标题,本文最好的标题
①正确答案对应文章的主题词;②选项范围要恰如其 分;2000年12月15题
2、写过目的①写作目的等于中心思想;②文章中谈到困难或问题(problem,difficulty,hardship)时,包含下列动词的选项优先考虑:warn,remind,四、主题题型的正误选 项的特征
1、正确选项必须包含文中的主题词;
2、错误选项主要有两种:①包含细节;②出现了原文中没有提到的内容。
文章中出现两个对立观点时,作者可以明确支持其中一派;如果不明确支持其中一派,他的态度一般是折衷 的。
词义题
一、返回原文找到被考的词或短语
二、做题方法
①根据上下文确定同义或反义关系(寻找词性和语法功能相 同的词,根据他们来确定意思)
②根据词根或动词词组的副词判断意义
三、字面意思或大纲中的第一个意思通常不是答案
例证题
1、例证题的总原则:问一个例子或类比的目的或原因,答案为该例子前后总结说明性的 话。
2、两种模式:①先总结,后例子答案往前找;给出例子时常有提示词:for example ,for instance ②先例 子后总结答案往后找;给出总结时常用提示词:therefore thus 等结论性词汇。
3、三种情况:①全文性的例子,答案为本文的主 题;②段落性的例子,答案指向段落主题句,在本段的首末句;③在没有标志词的情况下,问一个单词例证什么,通常等于问该单词在句子中的意 思;01-6-29例证题和指代题一样,比较干扰选项是比较不出来的,选出正确答案了就不要看其他的选项了。
对于文章写的比较郁闷,作者观点不明确的文章,作者对文中的问题一般表示关注。Concerned
对于一个事件不管渲染的多么可怕,不出人命就不叫 fatal 致命的因果原则
1、隐性因 果:即问题出现因果词,但原文找到的句子没有因果词,一般集中与段落的前两句;尤其是前一句是因后一句是果。
2、显性因果:①因果名词(在问题 中有因果,在原文中也有因果):reason result basis ②因果动词:base on ,be due to , result from , result in ③因果连词或介词:because, with, why , for, as ④因果副词:therefore , thus ,as a result 在文章中看见因果词就要想到后面会考到;在选项中看到因果词,就要想到文中的因果现象。
如果文章中谈一个现实问题,解决方案一般不够完美,所以涉及解决方案的选项具有以下特征才是正确的:①目前解 决方案不行;②需要继续寻找解决方案。2001-6-first
实验型文章实验目的 指向主题或目的不定式,对于实验性文章,实验代表人物有了,再看实验目的,然后是实验结果,凡是与这三点无关的句子都要快读。
有时候有的段落没有题,没有题的段落出现在选项里常常是干扰选项。
选项错误大多跟形容词和副词有关
文章的主题可以用两个方式 来表达:①直接阐述作者的观点;②否定与作者相反、相对立的观点。
推理题
1、问题中有线索时,根据线索找到原文相关句,与相关句意思 一致的为正确答案。所以说不管题目中有imply include infer,只要问题中有一个线索,比如:人名、地名、关键词,就拿着这些词回原文找和原句一对应,就出来答案。
2、infer题,一般对应相 应段落,否则对应文章主题。此类题目一般题干光秃秃的没有什么线索,这时我们应该看该题的位置,如果是文章开始,那就对应文章开始;出在2、3、4那就一般和234对应,最多错一个 段落,否则就是对应文章主题;如果在最后的话,那优先对应文章最后。
3、推论(conclude)题:
①为第一题时,通常对应文章主 题;②为2、3、4题时,基本上针对文章中间段落;③为最后一道题时,优先对应文章最后部分,有时也针对文章主题。
与主题有关的优先考虑。
总复习
1、利用两周左右的时间复习学过的内容;包括:①总结所有错误题目的主要问 题;②结合文章消化做题方法;③归纳难词难句;
2、继续做题:①做题的进度,每周2-3个单元;②作题的遍数。真题作两遍。99年6月以后的做 两遍研究一遍。(上海外语教育出版社《大学英语四级最新考题祥解》)③根据上下文记忆词汇;(最后)④模考;99-
6、2001-6加上2002-1(最 新刚考过的)的题目。

第四篇:四六级新东方老师总结
CET6紧急应试策略——其实你并不需要词汇量
新东方讲的是应试,在不改变你英语能力的情况下提高你的分数,你要做的努力其实很少,这就是应对游戏规则的“策略”,是一种正确的方法。
先说说六级及格线的设定。所有参加考试的211院校学生,设定这样一条分数线,使他们85%的人合格,这条线,就定为六级英语考试的合格线。而其它分数比例,则严格参考正态分布。这个是新东方的老师关键说的。所以,想我们usst这种非211院校,过了就别再去考了,你害不死别人。
阅读和听力占了总分的35%,绝对是大头,听力无法紧急提高,但是阅读可以。相比之下,cloze和翻译,就算你认真复习了,可能对分数的提高也只有2%,绝对得不偿失。而作文完全可以套用公式,所以正确的策略就是,死抓阅读,公式作文。
好了,进入正题。
作文
作文的的原则是无错,一篇文章,如果你出现了3处严重语法错误,那么你就不能得到一个高于8分的分数。
另外,从句不会给你加分,你要做的是写出有变化的句子。
行文有两种格式,一种是缩进式,另一种是齐头式。吴泽阳老师建议大家使用齐头式,段与段之间空一行,好让老师看清楚你有几段。特别注意,作文一定不能少于等于两端。
对于以前只能考400分以下的同学,背万能句是必须的。有一句句子非常之牛逼:to be or not to be? that's a question.(by W.William Shakespeare 1564~1616)。要知道,作文中数字和人名最能引起人的注意,你甚至可以把人名写的大一点。
作文种类分为以下几种,图表,名人名言,正反观点,现象。相应的例文网上有很多,把相关的万能句背一下。
一般作文的顺序是:审题,确定每段写什么——决定套用模板——列换词表——行文——复查。比如说一篇说难找工作的文章,换词表就是students,young man,graduate之类意思略微不同但能作互相指代的词。复查主要是复查时态和单复数,80%的语病都是这类问题。
行文的技巧主要是句式的变换。一共有五种方法:加法句,减法句,副词法,被动法,换而言之。加法句就是逗号和and,减法句就是but,使用被动法是因为更符合傻老外的习惯,换而言之就是in other words,然后再把刚才的话说一遍,当然,要稍作变化。副词法就是Obviously之类。
最后特别注意,当你论述的时候,一定要使用逻辑词。firstly,secondly……英语文章,没有逻辑词就没有逻辑。
我有一份自己写的作文复习资料,因为当时临考,时间仓促,可能有不少错误。见日志末。
听力
个人觉得东方的听力策略纯属扯淡,我就不多说了,说说自己的方法。对我而言听力最大的困难在于老是开小差,于是我就跟读,动嘴不发音,这样似乎能够集中精力许多,和我一样爱开小差的同学可以试试。
个人认为,词汇量的提高,对于听力的提高要比其他的多得多。
阅读
阅读肯定不用看文章。
快速阅读的顺序是:看题干,划出名词,回原文定位找答案。深度阅读也是一样。划名词是因为,动词和副词的同义词很多,完全可以替换,但是名词相对而言比较单一,不会有太多的变化。如果名词被替换,放心,没多少人能找到。回原文定位的时候要注意,最高级和极端词对应,时间地点状语对应。我就不一一举例了,自己联系几篇阅读就会抓准这个规律。当时我也只是用了一节课的时间久掌握了阅读。我阅读是215分,得分率86%。
相对而言,深度阅读还有另一个潜规则,就是深度阅读的题目,除了“作者想什么”“文章标题是啥”这类的题目以外,其它的题目串起来,就是一篇文章的主旨,由此推之,如果文章超过4段,那么在一段中出两个题目的可能性很小,这样我们就可以以此为依据做题。如果你选择了一个和主旨不相干的答案,那么你肯定错了。
奉劝各位一定要牢牢抓住阅读的分数,因为每个题都有近2%的分值。最主要的是,你只要练习几篇就能够掌握这个方法,根本不需要多少词汇量。
cloze和翻译
cloze一个空0.5%,4a,4b,4c,4d,随便选吧,拿四分之一的分数,像我这种考不到450的同学一般是没有时间做cloze的。
翻译,据说复旦的得分率是3.5/5(49.7/71),这部分无从复习,只能靠积累,而我多做对一道阅读,就能高出14.2分。个中得失,大家自己权衡。
说完了,吃午饭去。
祝大家考试顺利!

有人认为名字重要
有人认为不重要
我的观点 Recently, importance of a name has become the focus of the society.Every coin has two sides, and this issue is no exception.Everyone has his own view.Those people who think that name is important may have their reasons.First of all, a person is born with his name given by his parents.And the name will be with him through his life.At the second place, name is a symbol of a man.So, name is important, certainly.Others don’t agree.They argue that name is not important.In their opinion, name is just a word, and it can be changed by them, if they want.So they believe name is not important.Who’s right? As far as I concerned, name is surely important.So, it is high time that we placed great emphasis on this issue.“To be, or not to be? That’s a question.”(by W William Shakespeare, 1564-1616)It is necessary that effective actions should be taken to prevent the situation that someone think the name is not important.行文注意事项: 每段首句体现提纲

(名人名言题)Haste Makes Waste(欲速则不达)
Haste makes waste.This is a proverb full of logic.It tells us that the understanding of “patience” is the key to success in all fields of activity.On the contrary, to do something with no patience is to bring ruins upon oneself.Examples can be easily found to make a case for this proverb.For one thing, take the study of English for an example.Only patience can enable us to study English well.Such as spell words correctly and master the rules of grammar.Another good example is sports.Patience is the only way to become stronger and run faster.Besides, in team games patience is what improves our sense of cooperation and helps the team to win.Even a student’s scholarship is preceded by hard work.To sum up, there can be no achievement which is not based on the understanding of this proverb.Otherwise, if you cannot be patient, you will have less chance.行文注意事项:
