四级考试阅读技巧

阅读理解方法
阅读理解是综合读者各方面知识的过程。要想快捷,准确的理解所阅读的语篇,我们要清具备什么样的能力,理解的过程,阅读的层次,阅读的目的,阅读技能等。
学会阅读意味着我们具备以下的能力:
理解作者的思想和观点。
看出文章的叙事或推论过程。
看出并思考所读文章的细节,获的详细的信息。
把已获得的信息保在大脑中以便随时使用。
看出作者的主要意图和文章的基调。
从有关资料中汲取有用的东西。
对非重要情节或信息一带而过。
根据阅读目的和材料的难易程度调整阅读速度和方法。
根据作者的描述的出自己的结论。
掌握词的多种含义的知识。
另外,我们也想在此强调指出:我们不能盲目的应用快读“技巧”,而应该根据不同情况调整阅读速度。如:对场景,人物性格,人物心理刻画要细读。其中最重要的一点就是要知道在什么时候快读,什么时候慢读。要提高阅读速度,正确的阅读方法是问题的关键。

1. 你是否善于阅读 为了正确的评价自己的阅读能力,我们可以对照检验一下自己在阅读时是否有以下影响阅读效率的行为,但第2 ,3条,得在你不注意时,别人观察你。

你是否读的非常慢,非常仔细,不相信自己能全部理解所读的东西。
阅读时你的嘴唇和舌头是否在动。
在阅读时你的头是否随着所读文字的符号的位置而左右移动。
你是否经常回读,即,读过的东西又重新读一遍,甚至几遍。
你是否读什么样的体裁都是一样的速度。
你是否有很多单词不认识,或不知道他在此处的含义。
如果对上述的问题回答是肯定的,那你确实需要提高阅读技能。如果只有一两项的回
答是肯定的,那你就需要针对这一两种不良习惯寻找有效的解决方法,以帮住你提高阅读能力。

2.扩大词汇量
有限的词汇量必然影响你的阅读能力提高。生词的含义只有在上下文中才能完全展现出来,并易于被记住、理解、掌握。换句话说,是上下文给一个词以特定的含义,而这个特定的含义往往是字典无法提供的。
不少教师鼓励学生背句子、段落、整片文章,都是出于同一目的,即:要学生在上下文中理解并掌握词汇和短语。

II.阅读的目的
阅读一般应该达到下列目的

了解作者要表达的主要思想;
了解文章的主要内容和次要内容,并能把他们区分开来;
了解并记住文章中最重要的内容;
了解文章结构以及事件发生的时间、空间顺序;
了解作者的观点、意图、写作风格及其偏见等;
用自己的阅历和知识对文章进行分析、评价,得出自己的体会;
在读完一篇文章之后,想一想上述所列出的六项阅读目的,看看你能达到那几项目的。
III.阅读技能和方法

1.技能

阅读不是一个被动的过程,而是一个积极主动的过程,它需要大量的脑力活动,这就是说,一篇文章的意义不在于材料的本身,而是我们与材料不断交流活动的结果。我们把新知识和旧知识联系起来,以便完整的理解文章得意义,这种引申意义的脑力活动不仅仅是对词汇意义的解码,而是对文章的全面理解。
阅读是一个判断、推理、归纳、总结的过程。我们需要把分散于文章中的各种信息联系起来,经过必要的判断、推理、得出自己对文章的认识。
阅读是一个心理语言猜测活动。也就是说,一个好的读者总是猜测下文是什麽,然后用作者所给的信息检验自己的预测是否正确。如果预测正确就开始下一个预测,如果错误,必须修正原来的假想。
2. 方法

人们阅读时总是从左到右,从上一行到下一行,从词到词组到句子到段落,这一过程给人的感觉是人的眼睛总是在不停的移动。其实不然,科学家发现,阅读时人的眼睛不是持续的移动,而是跳跃式移动,94%的时间眼睛是静止的,6%的时间在跳跃。两次跳跃的时间称为一次“注目”,约四分之一秒,每次注目看到的单词因人而异,儿童大约是半个单词,一般读者是一二个单词,较好的读者是二三个单词。在实际阅读中,人的眼睛以词群为单位跳跃,即相关的词往往在一次注目中看到。既然阅读时人的眼睛跳跃式移动,用铅笔或手指着书上每一行左右移动,一边阅读一边念出声、一边读一边字翻译都是没有用的。因为这些动作的速度与眼睛跳跃的速度不一致,再加上他们分散一些注意力,因而不仅影响阅读速度,也影响阅读理解的程度。

IV.如何对待阅读中的生词

对阅读中遇到的生词最好的方法是通过上下文猜测。以下几条建议可帮助你猜测词义:

看看上下文中有没有生词的另一种说法,即找同义词。有时下文会对一个词做解释,或者提供一些暗示。
看看生词在文章中的词性,即看这个是名词、动词、形容词、副词或其他词类。另外看看这个词在文中与那些词搭配使用,再根据自己的其他知识,就可以进行正确的猜测了。
分析生词的构成,尤其是词的前缀和后缀。英语中很多词都是加前缀和后缀而来的。比如你认识这两个词write和similar,根据前缀re--和后缀--ity的含义,你就可以准确的猜出rewrite和similarity这两个词的意思。
看看同一生词是否在上下文的其他地方出现,把两处的语竟相比较,也许更能准的猜出词义。
充分利用你关于所阅读的内容已有的知识。
利用文中所附的插图等直观线索猜测词义。
V. 推论--找出文章中隐含意思
为了目的,作者往往不直接说出文章的意思,而是含蓄的表达。这种隐含的意思有时是文章的主要意思。所以阅读文学作品经常需要推论。有时一句话的含义需要推论,有时整个文章的含义需要推论。以下几条建议可以帮助你推论:

结合作者的思想、观点及其创作目的、创作背景进行推论。
寻找作者直接陈述的诸多事件之间的联系。
仔细体会一些重要词的含蓄意义及其感情色彩。比如politician和statesman的意思都是“政客家”,但前者有贬义的色彩,即“政客”,后者则没有。
从作者的语气、语调、措辞等文体特征,读出作者的“言外之意”。
得出推论后,尽量从上下文中寻找证据。
充分利用自己的各方面的知识,把文章中所述的事件和自己的阅历或熟悉的事情联系起来思考。
VI. 如何找出文章中心思想
为了便于找出文章的中心思想,阅读中你可以思考以下问题:

文章是否表明了有关社会生活的重要东西?它是否帮助你形成新的生活观?
文章是否表普遍真理?
你同意文章的中心思想和观点吗?
VII.做题时应注意的问题
精读问题及选择项,仔细品味问题的所指及选项之间意思的差别,切勿望文生义,草率处之。
做完同一篇文章后,应综合看一下你的选择,因为,它们也许是紧密相关的。
选择与所提问的内容针对性强的选择项作为正确答案。
考生的知识与常识也可以帮助他接受或拒绝一些选择项。
文后的几个问题经常是对整个文章推理过程的几方面的概括,了解这一点可以帮助考生对照检验自己的阅读从而对文章的推理过程进一步的认识。

猜词技巧

在英语阅读中,我们自然会遇到许多生词。这时,许多人立即翻阅字典,查找词义。其实,这种做法是不科学的。它不但费时费力,而且影响阅读速度。事实上,阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落有着互相制约的关系。我们可以利用语境(各种已知信息)推测、判断某些生词的词义。猜测词义时,可利用以下线索:

一 针对性解释
针对性解释是作者为了更好的表达思想,在文章中对一些重要的概念、难懂的术语或词汇等所作的解释。这些解释提供的信息具有明确的针对性,利用它们猜词义比较容易。

1. 根据定义猜测词义
如果生词是句子或段落所解释的定义,理解句子或段落本身就是推断词义。例如:
anthropology is the scientific study of man.
由定义可知,anthropology就是“研究人类的科学”。
In slang the term "jam" constitutes a state of being in which a person finds himself or herself in a difficult situation.
同样,从上下文的定义可知jam一词在俚语中的意思是“困境”。
定义句的谓语动词多为:be
mean
deal with
be considered
to be
refer to
be called
be known as
define
represent
signify
constitute等。

2.根据复述猜测词义
虽然复述不如定义那样严谨、详细,但是提供的信息足以使阅读者猜出生词词义。
复述部分可以适当词、短语或是从句。
同位语
Semantics
the study of the meaning of words
is necessary if you are to speak and read intelligently.
此例逗号中短语意为“对词意义进行研究的学科”。该短语与前面生词semanties式
同位关系,因此我们不难猜出semanties指“语义学”。
在复述中构成同位关系的两部分之间多用逗号连接,有时也使用破折号,冒号,分号,引号,和括号等。
Capacitance
or the ability to store electric charge
is one of the most common characteristics of electronic circuits.
由同位语我们很快猜出生词capacitance词义---电容量。需要注意的是:同位语前还常有or
similarly
that is to say
in other words
namely
or other
say i. e. 等副词或短语出现。
定语从句
Krabacber suffers from SAD
which is short for seasonal affective disorder
a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings.
根据生词SAD后面定语从句which is short for seasonal affective disorder和同位语a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings
我们可以推断出SAD含义,即“季节性情绪紊乱症”。
根据举例猜测词义
恰当的举例能够提供猜测生词的重要线索,例如:
The consequences of epochal events such as wars and great scientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical area as they were in the past. 句中“战争”和“重大科学发现”是生词的实例,通过它们我们可以猜出epochal的大致词义“重要的”,这与其确切含义“划时代的”十分接近。

二 内在逻辑关系
根据内在逻辑关系推测词义是指运用语言知识分析和判断相关信息之间存在的逻辑关系
然后根据逻辑关系推断生词词义或大致义域。

1. 根据对比关系猜测词义
在一个句子或段落中,有对两个事物或现象进行对比性的描 述,我们可以根据生词或难词的反义词猜测其词义。例如:
Andrew is one of the most supercilious men I know. His brother
in contrast
is quite humble and modest.
该例中supercilious对许多人来说可能是个生词,但是句中短语in contrast,(相对照的,相对比的)可以提示我们supercilious和后面词组humble and modest(谦卑又谦虚)是对比关系。分析出这种关系后,我们便能猜出supercilious意为“目空一切的,傲慢的”。
表示对比关系的词汇和短语主要是unlike,not,but,however,despite,in spite of,in contrast 和while 引导的并列句等。
A good supervisor can recognize instantly the adept workers from the unskilled ones.
该句中并未出现上面提到的表示对比关系的词或短语,但是通过上下文可以判断出句子前后是对比关系,即把熟练工人与非熟练工人区分开。这时我们也能够推断出生词adept的词义,“熟练的”。

2. 根据比较关系猜测词义
同对比关系相反,比较关系表示意义上的相似关系,例如:
Green loves to talk,and his brothers are similarly loquacious.
该句中副词similarly表明短语loves to talk与生词loquacious之间的比较关系。以此可以推断出loquacious词义为“健谈的”。
表示比较关系的词和短语主要是similarly,like,just as,also等。

3. 根据因果关系猜测词义
在句子或段落种,若两个事物、现象之间构成因果关系,我们可以根据这种逻辑关系推知生词词义。例如:
Tom is considered an autocratic administrator because he makes decisions without seeking the opinions of others.
根据原因状语从句的内容,我们可以推断出生词autocratic指“独断专行的”。
There were so many demonstrators in the Red Square that he had to elbow his way through the crowd. 此句为结果状语从句,根据从句的描书“许多示威者”,我们便可推知elbow的词意“挤,挤过”。

4. 根据同义词的替代关系猜测词义
在句子或段落种,我们可以利用熟悉的词语,根据语言环境推断生词词义。例如:
Although he often had the opportunity
Mr. Tritt was never able to steal money from a customer. This would have endangered his position at the bank
and he did not want to jeopardize his future.
作者为避免重复使用endanger一词,用其同义词jeopardize来替代它,由此推知其词义为“使. . . 陷入危险,危及、危害”。
Doctors believe that smoking cigarettes is detrimental to your health. They also regard drinking as harmful.
句中detrimental四个生词,但判断出harmful替代detrimental后,不难推断出其词义为“不利的,有害的”。

三 外部相关因素
外部相关因素是指篇章(句子或段落)以外的其他知识。有时仅靠分析篇章内在逻辑关系无法猜出词义。这时
就需要运用生活经验和普通常识确定词义。例如:
Husband:it''s really cold out tonight.
Wife: Sure it is. My hands are practically numb.
How about lighting the furnace?
根据生活经验,天气寒冷时,手肯定是“冻僵的,冻得麻木的”。
The snake slithered through the grass.
根据有关蛇的生活习性的知识,我们可以推断出slither词义为“爬行”。
在猜测词义过程中,除了使用上面提到的一些技巧,我们还可以依靠构词方面的知识,从生词本身猜测词义。

1. 根据前缀猜测词义 例如:
He fell into a ditch and lay there
semiconscious
for a few minutes.
根据词根conscious(清醒的,有意识的),结合前缀semi(半,部分的,不完全的),
我们便可猜出semiconscious词义“半清醒的,半昏迷的”。
I''m illiterate about such things.
词根literate意为“有文化修养的,通晓的”,前缀il表示否定,因此illiterate指
“一窍不通,不知道的”。

2. 根据后缀猜测词义 例如:
Insecticide is applied where it is needed.
后缀cide表示“杀者,杀灭剂”,结合大家熟悉的词根insect(昆虫),不难猜出
insecticide意为“杀虫剂”。
Then the vapor may change into droplets.
后缀let表示“小的”,词根drop指“滴,滴状物”。将两个意思结合起来,便可推断出droplet词义“小滴,微滴”。

3.根据复合词的各部分猜测词义 例如:
Growing economic problems were highlighted by a slowdown in oil output.
Hightlight或许是一个生词,但是分析该词结构后,就能推测出其含义。它是由high
(高的,强的)和light(光线)两部分组成,合在一起便是“以强光照射,使突出”的意思。
Bullfight is very popular in Spain.
Bull(公牛)和fight(打,搏斗)结合在一起,指一种在西班牙颇为流行的体育运动---斗牛。
综上所述,利用各种已知信息推测、判断词义是一项重要的阅读技巧。在实践中,我们可以灵活运用,综合运用上面提到的几种猜测技巧,排除生词的障碍,顺利理解文章的思想内容,提高阅读速度。

I.对立法

文章开头首先引出人们对要讨论的问题的不同看法,然后提出作者自己的不同看法,或偏向的那个看法。对立法的句型多用于

有争议性的主题。

1 When asked about...
the vast / overwhelming majority of
most / many / quite a few people say
think
believe
answer
1 that.... But other people regard / view / see / think of.. . as....
I think /view quite / a bit differently.

1.1 When asked about the biggest problem today
many people say that it is the serious energy crisis. They are
afraid that the world will soon run out of oil and run short of food. But other people hold optimistic views: they
regard it as a natural result of the economic development and believe it will be only solved with further advances
in economy and technology.
当问起世界上现在最大的问题是什么,许多人说是严重的能源危机。他们担心人类不久会用完石油、发生食品短缺!但有些人则
持乐观的看法。他们把能源危机看成是经济发展的自然结果,而且只有随着经济和技术的进一步发展才能得以解决。

1.2 When asked what kind of career they will pursue upon graduation
mist college students say that they would
choose a job which will bring them lot of money and a conformable life. Working in a big bank or company is what
they desire. But I think quite differently. I would prefer a career which will help realize my potentials.
当问起毕业后干什么,大多数大学生说,他们会找一个能给他们带来许多钱和舒适生活的工作。在一家大银行或大的公司里工作
是他们所向往的。但是我的想法大不相同。我要选择一个能够发挥我的才能的职业。

2 When It comes to...
some people think
believe that.... Others argue
claim that the
2 opposite
reverse is true. There Is probably some truth in both arguments
statements
but....

2.1 When it canes to international sport such as the Olympic Games and the World Cup soccer game
some people believe
that it creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together.
Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead in
misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably a little bit of truth in both arguments
but in recent years the
Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood.
当说到国际体育比赛,诸如奥林匹克运动会和世界杯足球赛,有些人认为它能增进国与国之间的友善。如果许多国家在一起比赛交流,
他们就会知道怎么一起生活。但另一些人则持相反的观点。他们认为国际体育竞赛只会造成虚假的民族自豪感,导致相互间的误解和仇恨.
这两种观点可能都有点道理,但是从最近几年的奥林匹克运动会来看,很少能证明体育运动可以增进国与国之间的友好感情。

2.2 In the last decades
advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the
past. Yet when it comes to the desirability of extending the life of the terminally ill
some people
including some
doctors
say that the quality of life is as important as life itself
and that people should in be forced to go on
living when the conditions of life have become unbearable. They argue that people should be allowed to die with dignity
and decide when they want to die. However those who are in favor of life-extending measures argue that life under any
circumstances is better than death and that the duty of doctors is always to extend life as long as possible. There is
probably some truth on both sides
but recently the public clamor for the legalization of voluntary euthanasia seem
increasingly strong.
在最近几十年,医学技术的进步使得人类有可能比过去活得长了。但是当论及延长一个无可挽救、濒临死亡的人的生命是否必要时,
有些人,包括有些医生认为生命的质量和生命本身同样重要;当病情已变得不堪忍受了,就不应迫使这些人再活下去。他们坚持说应允
许一个人尊严地死去,允许他们决定什么时候死。但是赞成采取延长生命的方法的人认为在任何情况下生总比死好;一个医生的责任就
是尽可能延长一个人的生命。或许双方都有点道理,但是最近公众要求对自愿安乐死合法化的呼声似乎越来越高。

3.1 There is much discussion today about whether fast economic growth is desirable. Those who criticize economic growth
argue that we must slow down. They believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth. These include the fixed
supply of natural resources
and the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment. People who want
more economic growth
on the other hand
argue that even at the present growth rate
there are still many poor people

They maintain that only continued growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life and provide the
financial resources required to protect our natural surroundings from industrialization.
现在围绕快速的经济发展是否应该正展开一场热烈的讨论。那些持反对意见者认为我们必须放慢发展速度。他们说发展已接近某种极限!
这其中包括有限的自然资源供应和工业对环境造成的消极影响。然而要求更快发展的人则认为,即使按目前的发展速度还是有许多穷人。
他们认为经济的持续快速发展才能创造提高生活质量所必需的资本,才能提供用来保护环境不受工业化破坏的资金。

3.2 There is a general debate on the campus today over the phenomenon of college students'' doing a part-time job. Those
who object to it argue that students should not spend their precious time in this way. But people who advocate it
on the
other hand
claim that
by taking a major-related part-time job or summer job
students can not only improve their academic
studies
but gain much experience
experience they will never be able to get from the textbooks.
关于大学生打工这一现象,校园里正展开一场讨论。反对大学生打工的人指出大学生不应该把宝贵的时间花在这上面。然而赞成者则认为,
通过从事一些与专业有关的工作,可以提高学生的学习,还可获得到书本上得不到的许多经验。

4.1 It is commonly believed that the rise in teenage smoking is the inevitable result of economic development. They argue

that if there are no cigarette advertisement on TV
no cigarettes available everywhere
and no adequate pocket money

teenagers are unlikely to take up the habit of smoking. But I doubt that it is a satisfactory explanation. While conceding
the effect of advertising and other commercial factors
I think that the primary cause is social and individual rather than
economic.
人们普遍认为青少年吸烟人数上升是经济发展不可避免的结果。他们认为:如果电视上没有香烟广告,香烟不是到处可买得到,孩子的
零用钱不是很多的话,青少年不太可能染上吸烟的习惯。但我怀疑这是否是一个满意的解释。虽然有广告和其它商业因素的影响,我认为
主要原因是社会和个人因素而不是经济上的。

4.2 It is widely felt that there is a fear plainly uppermost in the minds of most people today. They are afraid of the
future
and if you ask them why
they conveniently blame the atomic bomb. But I suspect that the nuclear weapon is only
the scapegoat for our fears. We are not afraid of the future because of a bomb. We are afraid of bombs because we have no
faith in the future. I believe people no longer have faith in our ability to control our own future.
人们普遍感到现在大多数人明显地有一种恐惧感。他们怕将来。如果问他们为什么怕,他们会很随意地怪原子弹。但我怀疑,核武器不过
是我们害怕的替罪羊。我们怕将来不是因为有了原子弹,说我们怕原子禅,实际上是对未来没有信心。我认为人们对自己是否有能力控制
将来已丧失信心了。

5 To the general public

5.1 In the popular mind
it is immediately assumed that when morals are discussed
it is sexual morals that are
meant. The morals of salesmen
doctors
and taxi drivers are only moderately interesting to the general public

while the relations between men and women are frequent themes in novels and movies
themes which no amount of
repetition makes stale. Yet in spite of this immense preoccupation with sex
much attention should be drawn to
the general moral standards.
当讨论起道德问题时,大多数人会立即认为是指性道德。一方面售货员、医生和出租车司机的职业道德不大为公众所关心,
而另一方面男女间的关系却是小说和电影中经常出现的主题,再怎么不断重复也不会失去其新鲜感。因此尽管人们对性的题目
津津乐道,我认为应注意整个道德水平。

5.2 To most Chinese parents
college is a place their children should go. And their children
for the most
part
are also anxious to go. It is in Chinese tradition that there is something about a college that transfers
an ordinary child into a superior adult. But in spite of this belief
men and women who have been to college
suspect that this is not the case.
大多数中国父母看来,大学是他们的子女应该去的地方。而他们的孩子在大多数情况下也渴望上大学。中国的传统观点是大
学能把一个普普通通的孩子培养成一个超人一等的人。但是尽管人们有这个观点,凡是读过大学的人却认为情况并非如此。

6 Now a lot of
the majority of
many / most people believe

6 But although
Admittedly
... there is no / little evidence that
it is questioned /doubted ...

6.1 A lot of people believe that television has a harmful effect on children. A few years ago
the same
criticisms were made of the cinema. But although child psychologists have spent a great deal of time studying
this problem
there is not much evidence that television brings about juvenile delinquency.
许多人都认为电视会给孩子带来危害。前几年,对电影也有类似的指责。然而尽管青少年心理学者花了许多时间来研究
这个问题,却很少有证据表明电视造成了青少年犯罪。

6.2 Most people believe that our society of consumption creates the greatest happiness for the greatest
number. Although this view is widely held
there is little evidence that Money brings about happiness.
Instead
we find our present way of life leads to increasing anxiety
helplessness
and
eventually
to
the disintegration of our culture. I refuse to identify consumption with joy and fun with happiness.
许多人认为,我们这个消费社会给绝大多数人带来了最大的幸福。尽管人们普遍这样认为,却很少有证据表明钱能给
人带来幸福。相反,我们发现,现在的全活方式使人越来越感到焦虑不安,孤立无援,最终导致我们文化的崩溃。我不
认为消费就是快乐,玩乐就是幸福。

6.3 There is some feeling nowadays that reading is not as necessary as it once was. Radio and especially
television have taken over many of the functions once served by print. Admittedly
television serves some
of these functions extremely well; the visual communication of news events
for example
has enormous
impact. The ability of radio to give us information while we are engaged in doing other things ------ for
instance
driving a car ------ is remarkable
and a great saving of time. But it may be seriously
questioned whether the advent of modern communications media has much enhanced our intellectual skills.
现在有些人觉得,阅读没有像过去那样有必要了。无线电广播,尤其电视已代替了曾经由印刷所起的许多作用。确实,
电视极好地发挥了其中的一些功能,如新闻通过图像来传送有很大的影响。无线电广播能使我们边干事,如开车,边收听消息,
真是了不起,且可节约许多时间。但是人们或许会认真发问,这些现代传播媒体的出现是否已提高了我们的知识技能。

7.1 Now most people get their news and information about the things that are happening at home and abroad
from television. They believe the things they hear and see on television. Probably most of the information is
true
and we can believe it. But shall we always believe the information which television gives us? Do we
never suspect that the given information might be slanted
distorted or the truth totally denied?
现在大多数人都是从电视上知道国内外发生的事和新闻的。他们都相信在电视上看到和听到的事。大多数消息可能是真的,
我们能相信。但是我们是否总是要相信电视给我们的消息呢?难道我们从不怀疑所给的消息可能有偏见,或已歪曲了,或真
相已被彻底隐瞒了?

7.2 In the past few years big business has fallen to a low level in public esteem. A recent Gallup poll
shows that big business came in last
in terms of the quality of the products
among all the enterprises
which sell household appliances in Shanghai; at the top of the list were small business or business from
small towns. in response to the poll
many businessmen argue that this public attitude is due to the
inadequacy of their advertising and can be cured by stepping up their advertising campaigns. They are
only fooling themselves. Do they realize that the real problem for their loss of public respect is what
they have been doing
not what they have been saying about themselves?
在过去几年里,大企业在公众中的信誉已下降到一个低水平。最近的盖洛普民意测验表明,就产品质量来说在上海
出售家用电器的所有企业中,大企业位居榜末,而小企业或乡镇企业名列前茅。对此许多大企业人士认为公众的这种
态度是由于广告宣传不够造成的,只要加大广告宣传声势,就会扭转局面。这是在自欺欺人。难道他们没有认识到失
去公众信誉的真正问题在于他们所做的,而不是所说的?

8.1 Throwing criminals in jail is an ancient and widespread method of punishment
but is it a wise
one? It does seem reasonable to keep wrongdoers in a place where they find fewer opportunities to hurt
innocent people
and where they might discover that crime doesn''t pay. The system has long been considered
fair and sound by those who want to see the guilty punished and society protected. Yet the valuess of this
form of justice is now being questioned by more and more people.
把罪犯丢进监狱是个古老又被广泛采用的惩罚方法。但这个方法是否明智?把做坏事的人关在一个地方,使他们没有
机会再损害无辜的人,使他们感到犯罪划不来,似乎确实有道理。这种制度一直被那些希望罪恶得到惩罚,社会得到保
护的人视为公平而有效。但是这种司法形式的合理性现在正受到越来越多的人的质疑。

8.2 Required class attendance
like an old custom
is so common in in Chinese colleges and universities
that many teachers and even students themselves simply assume it is a good thing. But is it a wise method?
It does contribute to the rise in the number of students attending class. But is there any proven
co-relation between attendance and performance in a course? The valuess of required attendance is now
being questioned by more and more teachers and students.
上课点名制,如同一种古老习俗,在中国的大学里非常普遍,许多教师甚至学生自己都认为这种做法是对的。
但这种方法是否明智?上课点名确实有助于学生出勤率的上升,但是到教室上课和这个学生在这门课上的学习表现,
两者之间是否已证实有联系?上课点名制度的合理性已受到越来越多的教师和学生的怀疑。

9.1 These days we often hear about "the classless society". They say that all men are equal
and they
can enjoy the same educational and job opportunities
and the distinction between rich and poor has lost.
But has it? Close examination doesn''t bear out the claim.
近来我们一直听到关于“无阶级社会”的说法。他们称人人平等他们都享受同等的教育机会和工作机会;穷人和富
人的界限已经消失。果真如此吗?略细分析一下,就证明这种观点站不住脚。

9.2 These days I have heard many exasperated students and working adults alike express a strong desire
to take an English course and a computer course. They believe that such knowledge will enhance their job
opportunities or promotion opportunities. But will it? The information I''ve collected over last few years
leads me to believe that this knowledge may be less useful than most people think.
这些日子我听到不少因学习或工作而感到痛苦的学生和工人表示要上英语课或电脑课的强烈愿望。他们认为这些知识会
增加他们找工作、晋级的机会。是这样吗?从我最近几年得到的材料来看,我认为这些知识并不像大多数人认为的那么有用。

10.1 We are often told that technological know-how
acquired in exploring space
will be utilized to
make life better on earth. Is this really the case? What has the space exploration done to relieve the
suffering of the earth''s starving millions? In what way has it raised the standard of living of anyone

but there is growing skepticism about his ability to solve
human problems closer to home.
我们经常听说在探索空间中获得的技术知识将用来改善我们地球上的人的生活。情况真的如此吗?太空探索对减轻
地球上正在挨饿的千百万人的痛苦到底做了什么呢?它从什么方面提高了我们的生活水平呢?人类能够把人自己送上月球,
但人们越来越怀疑其解决地球上人自己问题的能力。

II.现象法

对某种社会现象、倾向或社会问题进行剖析的文章往往在文章一开始首先引出这种现象或问题,然后评论。本节句型
就适用于这种开头。

arisen /loomed up /cropped up as controversial /as noteworthy/more distinctly for settlement

11.1 Recently
the alarm about the problem of the use of genetic technologies on human beings have caused
wide public concern
and understandably so. With nuclear energy threatening global catastrophe and with so
many other technological advances visibly damaging the quality of life
who would wish to have scientists
tampering with man''s inner nature? Indeed
fear of such manipulation may amuse even more anxiety than fear
of death.
最近,有关把遗传技术用于人类自身而产生的问题的警示已引起了公众的广泛关注。这是可以理解的。核能开发正威胁
着全球的生存,其它许多技术进步也正明显地危害生活的质量。在这种情况下,谁还会希望科学家来任意改变人体内部机
能呢?确实,害怕对人的操纵所引起的担忧可能会超过对死亡的害怕。

11.2 Recently psychologists have found only about two percent of adults use their creativity
compared
with ten percent of seven-year-old children. When five-year-olds were tested
the result soared to ninety
percent! The findings set off many people thinking. Curiosity and originality are daily occurrences for
the small child
but somehow most of us lose the freedom and flexibility of the child as we grow older.
The need to follow "directions" and "do-it-right"
plus the many societal constraints we put on ourselves

prevent us from using our creative potential.
最近,心理学家发现在使用自己创造力方面,成人只有2%,而7岁的儿童竟有10%。如果在5岁的儿童中测试,这个
数上升到90%。这些发现引起许多人思索。好奇心和创造性每天可在小孩子身上发现,而当我们逐步长大成人,多数
人丧失了孩子的那种自由和灵活性。“按常规去做”,“按正确的去做”,以及种种社会的清规戒律把我们束缚住了,
使我们无法发挥自己的创造潜力。

12.1 The problem of development vs. environment has now been in the limelight. Nowhere is the
clash more visible than in China
where the world''s largest population faces pollution
deforestation
and acid rain on a large scale.
现在发展与环境的问题已成为人们议论的中心。在中国这对矛盾表现得尤为明显。这个世界上人口最多的国家正面
临着大量的环境污染、森林减少以及酸雨的袭击。

13.1 In recent years many factories of our country have been faced with the problem of how to make
their workers more productive. Seeing many idle workers smoking
chatting
or playing cards during the
working hours
some experts claim that the solution is to increase economic reward. Other people feel
that "the iron rice bowl" should be roughly smashed. But does mere money lead to greater productivity?
近年来我国许多工厂一直面临着如何提高工人的生产效率的问题。针对许多工人上班的无所事事,抽烟,聊天或打
牌的现象,有些专家主张通过增加经济报酬来解决。另一些人认为应彻底打破铁饭碗。但是增加钱是否就能提高生产率呢?

13.2 In recent years
China has experienced an alarming increase in juvenile crime ------ that is
crime
committed by individuals who haven''t come of age. Whether the category is murder or robbery
mugging or
rape
the story is the same: juvenile crime is on the rise. Our society has traditionally treated the juvenile
as a special kind of offender
one who warrants punishment different from that given to an adult
even though
the crime may be the same. Now it is time we asked ourselves: Does the treatment work?
最近几年,中国的青少年犯罪率急剧上升。不管那些没成年人的犯罪涉及到谋杀、偷盗、抢劫或是强奸,情形是一样的:
青少年犯
罪在增加。我们社会的传统做法是把这些青少年当成一种特殊的罪犯处理,尽管他们的罪行和成年人一样,但所给的惩罚和
成年人不同。现在该是问一问我们自己的时候了:这种做法是否有效?

14 One of the searching

14.1 One of the basic questions facing our society today is: What promise or threat does new technology hold
for our global future? Since the decisions our society makes about technological development will undoubtedly
have tremendous consequences in the years to come
it is urgently necessary to explore this question
especially
by examining science and technology in their relationship to the development of humanity.
当今社会面临的基本问题之一是:新技术会给世界的将来带来什么样的希望或威胁?由于我们的社会所作出的关于技术发展的
决定会毫无疑问对未来产生巨大影响,因此探索这个问题,尤其是通过检查科学技术与人类发展的关系来这样做就变得非常紧迫
和必要了。

14.2 It has become apparent to us that one of the biggest problems confronting our Chinese education today is
the increasing vocationalization of our colleges and universities. Throughout the country schools are under economic
pressure to become job-training centers and employment agencies. All courses are geared to cater to the business needs.
很明显中国的教育现在面临的最大问题之一是高等院校职业化倾向。在经济发展的压力下,全国许多大学成了职业培训中心或就
业市场机构。课程的设置都一昧迎合市场的需要。

15 One of the biggest issues
hottest topics
most popular things

15.1 One of the most popular topics many city residents talk about now is the tide of the rural poor

flooding the cities. They complain that the migrants have brought crime and prostitution
that they
are putting pressure on population control and social order; that they are threatening to take already
scarce city jobs and exacerbating housing shortages; and that they have worsened traffic and sanitation

problems. True
these are the problems posed by the migration
but what about the contribution the rural
worker have made to the city''s development and prosperity?
许多市民现在谈得最多的话题之一是源源不断涌进城市的民工潮。他们抱怨民工把犯罪和卖淫带来了,给城市人口的
控制和社会秩序带来了压力,并威胁着夺走本来已很紧张的城市工作机会,使得城市住房、交通、卫生等问题更为突出。
是的,这些都是民工潮带来的问题,但怎么看待他们对城市的发展和繁荣所作出的贡献呢?

15.2 One of the best qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one''s
mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like "I was wrong about that"
and it
is even harder to say
I was wrong
and you were right about that
.
大多数人所佩服的别人的最好的品质之一,是敢于承认自己的错误。有时人们发觉很难开口说这样简单的话:
“在这一点上是
我错了。”而说:“我错了,你是对的。”则更难。

they now demand land rights

and even directly dollars.
现在对我们的国家最有危险的恐怕要算是官员的腐败。腐败之风已蔓延到我们社会的几乎每一个领域。过去办事官员还只满

constantly.

17.1 Cheating is yet another of the bitter truths we have to learn to face now. It is so prevalent and so
widely accepted that it becomes a way of academic life. Even the mast gifted students
the one who presumably
could get good grades without cheating
are becoming the constant offenders. Getting a good academic record
and later a good professional career is the most important goal and they will do anything they must to attain it.
考试作弊是我们不得不接受的又一严峻的事实。作弊是那么普遍和司空见惯,已成为大学生活中的一个方面。连最有天赋的
学生,那些不靠作弊也能取得好成绩的学生也常常作弊。对他们来说,有一个学业优秀的记录和将来有一个令人羡慕的工作比什么
都重要,为达到这一目标,他们什么都会干。

18.1 A virtual epidemic of pregnancies is under way in this nation''s teenage population. In 1993 alone
26270 babies were born to unwed teens. Predictably
educators
parent groups and newspaper writers have
responded to this news with a clamor for more and better sex education. Indeed
that is urgently necessary

but is sex education alone the whole answer?
未婚少女怀孕,这一现象就像传染病一样正在该国蔓延开来。就1993年便有26270个婴儿为未婚少女所生。可以预料教育工作
者、家长团体和报纸记者对此大声疾呼要加强和完善任教育。是的,这是非常必要的,但仅仅靠性教育能解决问题吗?

19.1 At offices and plants across the country
a growing number of workers are jogging along the streets

and doing calisthenics on the pavements ------ all with the support and encouragement of
their employers. The company-sponsored physical-fitness programs are benefiting both individuals and companies.
从机关到工厂,越来越多的职工街上跑步,在人行道上拔河,做健身操。这些活动都受到他们的领导的支持和鼓励。由工厂
公司支持资助的健身活动不仅给职工个人,而且对厂方都带来益处。

19.2 Here and there across the country are coming reports that government officials
even senior officials

have been punished for corruption. Some were sentenced for taking bribes
others executed for embezzling funds.
In Beijing alone nearly 60000 civil servants were found guilty of corruption in 1993. Official corruption has
increased greatly in the past five years in only in scope but in magnitude.
从各地传来报道,许多政府官员,甚至高级干部因腐败而受到惩罚。有的因受贿而被判刑,有的因侵吞公款而被判处死刑。仅北
京在 1993年就有6万多官员因贪污、贿赂而被判罪。在过去5年里,政府官员的腐败在范围和规模上都有很大的发展。

21.1 Now there is a growing concern over the heavy burden
both academic and psychological
our
children have to bear. After a day''s study in school
they bring a lot of assignments back home and
work them until midnight. They play few games and go to few movies. They have been so obsessed with
grades and marks that they have hardly had time to savor the life and grow as well-rounded people.
如今人们越来越关注我们的孩子所承受的沉重的学习负担和精神压力。在校学习一天后,他们带回许多作业,
常常做到深夜。他们很少玩或去看电影。他们为分数所累,几乎没有时间品尝人生,并成长为一个全面发展的人。

21.2 Nowadays there is an immense and justified pride in what our colleges and universities have
done. At the same time
however
there is a growing uneasiness about their products. These young men
and women who carry away our degrees are attractive
energetic and eloquent. But what about their
intellectual equipment?
现在人们对我们大学所做的一切非常自豪,这不是没有道理的。但是同时对它们的产品——大学毕业生又愈来愈
感到不安。那些得到学位的青年人个个神气十足,精神饱满,能说会道。然而他们是否有真才实学呢?

21.3 In the past decades there has been a persistent demand in many countries for a conceited attack
to deal with worldwide pollution. In many places
under pressure from private citizens and leaders in
science and technology environmental organizations have sprung up to voice their opinions and to try
and face the problem. It is increasingly recognized that pollution doesn''t only pose a pervasive threat
to the human environment
but also challenge the survival of man himself.
在过去的几十年里,许多国家都坚持不懈,要求共同努力来对付全球范围的污染。在很多地方,鉴于平民百姓和
科技界头面人物的压力,保护环境的组织纷纷出现。他们一面提出各种建议,一面试图着导解决这个问题。人们越
来越认识到污染不仅威胁到人类环境,且危及人类自身的生存。

22.1 In recent years
there is an increasing number of people

who show
little interest in correcting social inequalities and injustices. According to a national poll last
year
eighteen to twenty-nine-year-olds agreed by large percentages that young people today are "less
idealistic" and "more selfish"
and that they are less concerned with the problems of society than with
their own personal future.
最近几年,越来越多的人,尤其是青年人,对纠正社会的不良倾向和不平等现象很少关心了。根据去年一次全国性
的民意测验,大多数18到29岁的青年人承认他们“不那么有理想”“更加自私”,他们关心个人的将来胜过关心社会问题。

22.2 In the past 5 years there has been a marked decline in the number of young married couples who want
to have children
coupled with a growing trend toward delayed childbearing. According to official statistics

in 1993
about 28 percent of married couples with wives under 35 gave to birth to children
compared with the
1983 level of 8 percent.
在过去5年里,结婚后希望要孩子的青年夫妇人数明显减少,同时出切一种推迟生育孩子的倾向。根据官方公布的数据,
1993年有28%的已婚夫妇妻子在三十五岁以下而尚未生育,而在1983年,只有8%。

23.1 Any visitor to this city would be almost surprised by the severe shortages and shortcomings in the
elementary municipal services despite its economic growth. Schools are old
hospitals are few and understaffed.
Transportation is overcrowded
and streets are narrow and filthy. Parks and playgrounds are insufficient.
任何一个到过这个城市的人都会因这个城市的最基本设施的严重不足和不良而感到震惊。尽管这个城市的经济发展很快,
学校却很陈旧;医院少且医务人员不足;交通拥挤,道路狭窄而肮脏;公园及游乐场所也少得可怜。

24.1 Whenever we visit a terminally ill patient
we cannot help being struck by his eagerness to know the
truth about his condition. He does not only suffer from his illness
but also from the anxiety about its
potential outcome. Although telling him the truth may risk destroying his hope
so that he may deteriorate
faster
perhaps even commit suicide
a dying person has the right to know his condition and to make informed
choice concerning his own health.
每当我们去探视一名患有不治之症的病人时,我们不禁为他那种急切想知道自己的真实病情的表情所震动。他不仅被疾病
所折磨,也被为自己的病情可能发展的结果而焦虑所折磨。虽然若将真实病情告知他可能会使之失去希望从而加速病情恶化,
甚至他
可能自寻短见,但一个濒临死亡的病人有权知道自己的病情,有权对自己的健康状况作出明智的判断。

24.2 Whenever we read suggestions of some recent scientific and econimic research that the curves for food
demand and food supply will cross in a maximum of 60 years
and that by then
man''s overpopulation

and the diminishing food supply could threaten to end human life on our planet

近来一些科学和经济的研究表明,粮食供求平衡至多能保持用年。到那时、人口过剩、污染加剧以及粮食供应减少将会威胁
人类在地球上的生存。每当我们读到这些情况,我们不禁在想:人类应当采取什么措施来确保自己的生存,避免灭绝呢?

25.1 Nothing
we have been told these years
is more educative than participating in or listening to an
exchange of opinion. The seminar
the conference
the lecture
the panel discussion on the radio ------ how
fine
how liberating
how instructive they are to us all
to the participants and to those at their receiving
sets. They can not only acquaint one with many facts
but help deepen one''s understanding of social phenomena
and relationships
and broaden one''s outlook.
这些年来我们都感到没有什么比参加一个讨论或听听别人的思想交流更有教育意义的了。大型讨论会,大型会议讲座以及
电台直播室的讨论对我们所有人,对参加者或是听众都是那么美妙,那么有意义,有启迪作用。这些讨论不仅使我们了解了
许多事实,而且有助于加深对各种社会现象和关系的理解,开阔眼界。

25.2 Few things seem to stir up more fear among today''s young people than the prospect of a military draft.
Feelings of patriotism are articulated much more freely now
but there seems little enthusiasm for military
conscription
and no one wants to spend several years in the armed forces engaged in activities which have
nothing to do with their future work.
似乎没有什么比要服兵役更使青年人担心了。现在到处洋溢着爱国主义的情感,但对服兵役却没什么热情,没有人想在
部队里待几年,去从事与他未来的工作没什么关系的活动。

25.3 Perhaps no issue in this world is as basic to individual and national survival as food. But China in
recent years has experienced a serious waste of food in one way or another. Especially in many big cities

this waste has become habitual and traditional
to the extent that people are seldom aware of it in their
daily life.
可能在这个世界上没有什么问题比粮食对一个人乃至整个国家的生存更为重要的了。但在中国,近年来各种各样严重
浪费粮食的现象比比皆是。尤其在许多大城市里,这种浪费已成为习惯性和传统性了,以致人们在日常生活中已习以为常了。

26 Never
Nowhere in history

26.1 Nowhere in the world has the issue of birth control been more evident than in China. The nation is
faced with such serious situation as the one in which its population is increasing much faster than the
supply of food and available resources.
世界上没有一个地方比中国的计划生育问题更突出的了。这个国家正面临着十分严峻的形势,其人口增长的速度正大大
超过粮食供应的速度和自然资源供应的速度。

26.2 Nowhere has the great principle of equality been so thoroughly put in practice as in China
and nowhere
have such persistent efforts been made to improve the legal status of women. In spite of this
however
women
in many places are still denied the right to compete with men for jobs on equal terms and the right to equal
opportunities for promotion.
世界上没有一个地方比中国把平等这个伟大的原则更彻底地贯彻到实践中去,没有像中国作出如此坚持不懈的努力来提高妇
女的法律地位。尽管如此,在许多地方中国的妇女还是没有权利和男子在同等条件下竞争工作,没有平等的机会得到晋升。

26.3 Never in the nation''s history have the stakes involving our education been higher than rim. From energy
crises to air pollution
and from the improvement of the standard of living to space exploration
the approaching
world of the 21st century bristles with challenges whose resolution
for better or worse
will depend largely on
the quality of education.
在这个国家的历史上教育从来没有像现在这样对我们如此利害攸关。从能源危机到环境污染,从生活水平的提高到空间探索,
即将到来的21世纪充满了种种挑战。要战胜那些挑战,不论怎么样,在很大程度上取决于教育的质量。

27 It is about

27.1 It''s about time somebody exploded that old myth about childhood being the happiest of your life. Childhood
may certainly be fairly happy
free from financial worries and the anxiety about social ladders. But have you heard
our children today groaning under the ever-increasing burden of studies? Have you seen them stay up almost every
night simply to finish a day''s homework?
现在应该是揭穿长期来认为童年是人的一生中最幸福的时代这个古老神话的时候了。童年固然很幸福,孩子们没有经济上的忧愁,
也没有争名夺利的焦虑。但是人们是否听到现在的孩子在日益沉重的学习负担下发出的呻吟声?人们是否看到孩子们为了完成一天
的功课,几乎天天熬夜?

28 Perhaps

28.1 Perhaps we should rethink an idea fast becoming an undisputed premise of our life that
a college degree is necessary ------ and perhaps even a sufficient ------ precondition for success.
I do not wish to quarrel with the assumptions made about the benefits of orthodox education.
I want only to expose its false god; the four-year
all-purpose
degree-granting college
aimed
at the so-called college-age population and by now almost universally accepted as the stepping-stone
to "meaningful" and "better" jobs.
可能我们应当重新考虑一下这个很快成为我们生活毋庸置疑的前提:对成功来说,大学文凭是必要的,
或许是先决的条件。我不想反对正统的大学教育带来种种好处的观点。我只想揭示把大学文凭捧上天的虚假性:
对象是所谓读大学的适龄青年,目的是培养各种人材的颁发学位的四年制大学现已差不多被公认为是找到
有意义的”、“好的”工作的跳板。

28.2 Maybe it is time to reexamine our present valuesss of life and try to figure out why life
today becomes so difficult
and what can be done about it. Not only are things often not what
they seem
they may be just the opposite of what they seen. People are discontented these days

for example
not because things are worse than ever
but because things are better than ever.
Everything is paradoxical.
也许现在该是重新检查一下我们现在生活流行的价值观,弄清楚今天的生活为何变得如此艰难,以及该用什
么办法加以解决的时候了。现在的事情常常不仅不是它们看上去的那样,事情可能正好与看上去的相反。譬如说,
如今人们的不满往往不是因为情况比以往任何时候都糟,而是因为情况从未这么好过。一切事情都变得似是而非了。

29 Now people in growing

29.1 Now people in growing numbers are coming to recognize that the business spirit
which carries
in its torrential course so many of the talents and energies of men into money-making
has shaped our
culture and influenced our ideals and aspirations as a people.
现在越来越多的人开始认识到这股下海从商的浪潮把许多人卷进去,使他们把自己的才干和精力都耗在赚钱上。
这个重商的风气改变了我们的文化,影响了作为一个民族的我们的理想和抱负。

29.2 In recent years an increasing number of people are getting to realize that much of the technology
being developed today neither respects the earth''s delicate ecosystem nor is adequately controlled by
social institutions. As the social costs of the technological development (e. g environmental pollution

unemployment) become so obvious
it is time that our society should make efforts to reassess the direction
of our development in the view of radically different and increasingly complex socioeconomic circumstances.
近年来日渐增多的人开始意识到当今正在开发中的许多技术 既没有考虑到地球上微妙的生态系统,也没有受到社会机构
的有 效控制。由于开发技术所付出的社会代价(如环境污染和失业现 象)十分明显,该是到了我们的社会作出努力,
从完全不同的,越来 越复杂的社会经济环境来重新评估技术发展的方向的时候了。

30 Now there is a growing awareness / recognition on the part of people

30.1 In recent years there has been an increasing awareness of the necessary to improve our criminal justice system.
A young thief who spends time in jail often receives there a thorough education in crime from his fellow prisoners

or perhaps tough criminals who drag him into more serious offenses and more prison terms a vicious cycle that will do
greater harm to the society.
近几年来人们越来越意识到改进我们刑法制度的必要性。一 个初犯的小偷被关在监狱里,往往会从其他囚犯,甚至犯罪老手那
里学到一整套作案的手法,结果他们把他拉人更深的犯罪深渊,以 至判更长的徒刑,如此恶性循环将对社会造成更大的危害。

30.2 Now people become increasingly aware of the importance of acquiring a mastery of a foreign language. To them

the knowledge of a foreign language
say
English
often means a good opportunity for one''s career
even a passport
to a prosperous future. Many of them equate success in life with the ability of speaking a foreign language.
现在许多人日益意识到掌握一门外语的重要性,对他们来说,外语知识,如英语往往意味着给他的职业带来好的机会,甚至给他
带来光辉灿烂的前途。许多人把人生的成功与能讲外语相提并论。

31 we might marvel at
In spite of / Despite the great
giant
extraordinary
tremendous progress
stride
advance made in
31 science and technology
nearly every field
(but) ... remain basically unchanged.
the same as it was.
as ... as ever they were.

31.1 We might marvel at the progress made in every field of study
but
the methods of testing a person''s knowledge and ability remain as
primitive as ever they were. It is extraordinary that after all these years

educationists have still failed to devise anything mere efficient and reliable
than examinations. For all the pious claim that examinations test what
you know
it is common knowledge that they mere often do the exact opposite.
They may be a good means of testing memory
but they can tell you nothing
about a person''s true ability and aptitude.
对各个学科所取得的进步我们或许会感到吃惊,但是测试人们知识和能力的方法仍
像过去一样原始。经过这么多年,教育家们仍未能设计出比考试更可靠,更行之有
效的方法,这真使人为之惊讶。尽管教育家们虔诚地宣称,考试能测验你懂得多少知识。
但众所周知,它们通常是适得其反。用来测试记
忆力,考试也许是种好方法,但它不能测出一个人的真正能力。

31.2 This is a skeptical age
but although our faith in many of the things in
which our forefathers deeply believed has weakened
our confidence in the curative
properties of the bottle of medicine remains the same as theirs. This modern faith
in medicine is proved by the fact that the annual drug bill of this country is
mounting to astronomical figures and shows no signs at present of ceasing to rise.
这是一个怀疑一切的时代。但是尽管我们已不大相信我们的祖先们所深信不疑的许多事物,
我们对装在瓶中的药物却仍与我们的祖先一样确信无疑。现代人对药物的迷信可由这一事实
得到证实:即这个国家每年的药费已到了天文数字,且目前尚无停止增长之迹象。

31.3 Although great strides have been made in achieving social status
and greater equality for women in the past decades
their role in the
family remains basically uncharged. The double burden of work inside
and outside the home they are carrying renders them impossible to make
full use of their talents and difficult to rise to positions of leadership.
虽然在过去几十年里妇女在争取社会地位和更多的平等方面取得了很大的进步,
但是她们在家里的角色仍没有得到多大的变化。她们在家里和外面都要干,
这双重工作负担使她们不能充分发挥自己的才能,因之很难升到领导岗位。

31.4 We continue to share with our remotest ancestors the most
evasive attitudes about death
despite the great distance we have
cane in understanding some of the profound aspects of biology.
We have as much distaste for talking about personal death as for
thinking about it; it is an indelicacy
like talking in mixed
company about venereal disease or abortion in the old days.
尽管我们对生物某些方面的奥秘已有很多了解,但我们还是和祖先一样,
对死是讳莫如深的。我们对自己的死不仅不敢想,而且不敢去谈论。这是一
个不适宜的话题,就像过去在男女一起时谈论性病和流产一样不易启口。

IV.引用法

文章开头通过引用名人名言,箴言谚语,或有代表性的看法见解来引出
文章要展开讨论的一种观点。下面便是一些常见句型。

32 One of the great early men
writers
philosophers
scientists said
wrote
remarked that.... If this is true

the case

32 then the present
current view
valuess
attitude
situation should make us wonder whether
ponder over

32.1 One of the great early socialists said that the status of
women in a society is a pretty reliable index of the degree of
civilization of that society. If it is true
then the present low
status of women in management should make us ponder about whether
our management is civilized at all.
以前有一位著名的社会学家曾说过,妇女在一个社会中的地位是这个社会
文明程度的一个非常可靠的标志。如果是这样的话,那么目前妇女在管理方
面较低的地位应使我们想一想,我们现在的管理是否文明。

32.2 One of the great early writers once said that human character
is formed by society. If this is the case
aren''t the current pervasive
corruption
the popular obsession with money-making and general
indifference to human sufferings and social injustices a perfect
manifestation of a bad social environment?
曾有一位伟大的作家说过:人的性格是由社会塑成的。倘若真是如此,
那难道当今的腐败风气,一心扑到钱眼里而对人的疾苦和社会不正之风麻
木不仁等现象,不正是社会环境不良的真实写照吗?

32.3 A gifted American psychologist has said: "Worry is a spasm
of the emotion; the mind catches hold of something and will not
let it go." In other words
it is useless to argue with the mind in
this condition. The stronger the will
the more futile the task.
One can only gently insinuate something else into its convulsive grasp.
if it is true
the cultivation of a hobby and new forms of interest
is a policy of first importance to a modern man who easily gets
anxious and depressed.
一位极富天资的美国心理学家说过:“忧虑是感情的一阵发作。心中老是想着某一事,
死死放不开。”也就是说,在这种情况下,与之抗争是无用的。意志越强,愈是徒劳无效。
你只能耐心地用暗示的方法使其他事进入这固执的头脑中去。如果这样分析是对的,
那么对于一个极易焦虑沮丧的现代人来说,培养业余爱好和新的兴趣是头等重要的明智之举。

33 "Knowledge is power"
Awareness of ignorance is the beginning of wisdom
Familiar notions are often those least examined
Mutual ignorance breeds mutual distrust
Genius is 2 percent inspiration and 98 Percent perspiration
Such is the opinion of
remark made by
33 Bacon.
Edison.
one of the great men. This view
remark has been shared
confirmed now
time and again by more and more people.
many historical events.


33.1 "Great minds must be ready not only to take the opportunity
but to make them."
Colton
a great writer once remarked. But it still has a profound significance now.
To a person
in whose lifetime opportunities are not many
to make opportunities is
more essential to his success.
伟大的作家科尔顿曾经说过:“一个伟大的人物不仅必须随时抓住机会,而且必须随时创造机会。”
他的这个精辟的论断至今仍有深远的意义。一个人一生中机会并不很多,因此,创造机会对他的成功
来说便尤为重要。

33.2 Education is not complete with graduation. Such is the opinion of Mortimer J. Adler

a great American philosopher. Now more and more people share his opinion. No college or
university can educate its students by the time they graduate; and no one should be
content to simply end his education with high school education or college education.
Education is a lifetime study.
教育不能随着毕业而告结束。这是美国大哲学家摩提默叫·阿德勒的观点。这个观点已为
越来越多的人所接受。没有一所大学能
在学生毕业时把所有知识都教授给他们了,没有人应该满足于他自己的高中教育或大学教育。
教育是一种终生的学习。

34 "...." That''s how one college student
official
housewife
father described
commented
complained
criticized ...
34 He / She is hardly alone in the experience
Many people have shared the experience like this

34.1 "All I have learnt in college is junk. " That''s how one college graduate described
his frustration in looking for a job. He is hardly alone in the experience. Actually
there are thousands of college graduates who complain that the degree they took away
can''t help them to secure a rewarding job
and the knowledge they acquired in class
can''t be transformed into useful job skills.
“我在大学器学的都是废物。”这是一位大学毕业生在说起自己在寻找工作中不断受挫时所发
的怨言。他的经历不只是个别的,有无数大学毕业生抱怨他们拿到的学位在找一份适宜的工作时
起不了什么作用,学校里学到的知识不能转变为有用的工作技能。

34.2 "It''s like being bitten to death by ducks." That''s how one mother described
her constant squabbles with her fourteen-year-old daughter. And she is hardly alone
in the experience. According to a poll
the relations between parents and teenagers
are frequently marked by squabbling
naming and arguing despite considerable love
between them. What causes this verbal behavior
and which party is at fault: the
adolescent or the adult?
“就像一只鸭子似的把我吵死了!”这是一位母亲在形容她和自己14岁的女儿时常争吵时
说的话。这种情况不止她遇到。根据一项民意调查,尽管父母亲和他们的未成年的孩子都互
相非常爱对方,但在日常生活中他们却经常吵嘴,责骂不休。怎么会造成这些相互间的争执?
谁对,谁错,是大人抑或未成年的孩子?

35 "...." The same idea
complaint
attitude is voiced
echoed
shared by....

35.1 "Spendable money is better off spent. The cast of living is going up so fast

it is better to spend money now on things we would normally put off buying. "That''s
how my neighbor
a steel worker complained of soaring inflation. His view is now
echoed by more and more working people who buy more things that they don''t really
need than put money into savings accounts that pay interests far below the pace of inflation.
“能用的钱最好还是用光。现在生活费上涨很快,与其是推迟买的,不如现在就买下来。”
这是我的一个在钢铁厂工作的邻居在抱怨物价飞涨时说的。他的观点已得到越来越多的工人的赞同
。人们争相买东西,甚至买些并不十分需要的东西,而并不把钱存入银行。这是因为存银行所得的
利息远远不及通货膨胀的速度。

35.2 "Lei Feng died already
said by sane people whenever they deplored the fact
that nowadays no one in the street will come to a person''s assistance when he is in
trouble or in danger. The same view is voiced by many people who complain about the
decline in the moral standards in recent years and hope the spirit of Lei Feng
(1939---1962)
a model soldier who devoted his short life to the public good will stay with us.
“雷锋早已死了。”每当有些人看到现在一个人在街上遇险或碰到困难而无人相助时,
不禁发出的如此感叹。许多人都持这种观点,他们抱怨近几年道德水平日趋下降,他们希望雷锋
(1939-1962)——这个把自己短暂的一生都用来为人民服务的模范战士的精神还活在人们中间。

36
...." How often we hear
We are used to hearing
Many people have heard (such) statement
words
complaint like
as this
those.

36.1 "Social attitude toward women has changed a lot." How often these days
we hear the statement like this. Twenty or thirty years ago it was believed that
a women must either many young or risk becoming a spinster. And a woman who
did not marry was thought to be inferior and abnormal. However
today''s woman
has numerous options open to her besides early marriage. Most important
a
single woamn is no longer looked down upon by society.
“社会对妇女的态度有了很大的变化。”最近我们常常听到这样的说法。二三十年前,
人们普遍认为一个女人要么早早结婚,要么很可能成为一个老处女。而一个不结婚的女
人会被视为不正常或低人一等。然而今天的妇女除了趁年轻结婚外还有许多出路。
最重要的是一个单身女子再也不会受社会歧视。

36.2 In our own days we are used to hearing such traditional complaints as
this "I''ve got too much work to do and not enough time to rest" or "the work
is too demanding and too exhausting
I wish the others would do it". Don''t be
misled by the complaint; and don''t be deceived into thinking that people like
to store up energy. Complaining is just part of working
and it is a manifestation
of the pride they take in their unique capacity to conquer the tough job.
现在我们常常听到那些老一套的怨言:“我要做的事太多了,简直没有时间去休息”,
“这工作太难了,太累了,真想让别人去干。”不要被这些怨言所迷惑,不要误认为人们
不愿化力气。发牢骚正是工作的一部分,它反映了人们对自己处理棘手工作的出众能力的自豪感。

V.比较法

比较法句型主要用于通过对过去与现在两种不同倾向、态度和观点的比较,引出文章要讨论的主题。

37 For years
Until recently ... had been
was seen
viewed
regarded as.... But that is changing now.
people are taking a fresh look at it.
37 With the growing
mounting demand for
interest in
concern over ... people....

37.1 For years
offsprings
especially sons had been expected to remain at home
permanently
bringing their spouses home to the big
extended family when they got
married. But that''s changing now. With growing demand for independence and the
improved living standard
more and more young people seek to leave the parental
family to establish their own households.
多少年来,子女,尤其是儿子一直被希冀永远待在家里。当他们结婚后,应把配偶带回家来,
组成大家庭。但现在这已起了变化。由于生活水平的提高和对独立生活的要求,越来越多的
青年追求搬出父母家,建立自己的家庭。

37.2 Until recently the general attitude toward daydreaming remained hostile.
Daydreaming was viewed as a waste of time. Or it was considered an unhealthy escape
from real life and its duties. But now sane people are taking a fresh look at
daydreaming. They think it may contribute to intellectual growth and lead to
the attainment of actual goals.
不久前人们对白日做梦一般还是持批评的态度,认为它浪费时间,是逃避现实生活及
其责任的一种不健康的倾向。但现在有人对此持一种新的看法。他们认为白日做梦有助
于智力的发展,能引导人们实现要达到的目标。

37.3 Until recently
discoveries in science and technology had been thought
of as the result of dramatic accidents. But the view is changing now. Contrary
to the notion of "instant" scientific discoveries
distinguished scientific
accomplishment is a matter of opportunity and of continuous and concentrated
effort over long years.
以前,科学技术的发现一直是被看成带有戏剧性的偶然结果。现在这种观点正在改变。
与这种“瞬息”的科学发明的看法相反,伟大的科学成就不仅仅是机会,而且是长年累
月换而不舍、孜孜不倦的结果。

38 People used to think
It was once thought that.... In the past
old days .... But things are quite different.
few people now share this view.

38.1 People used to be born at home and die at home.
In the old days. Children were familiar with birth and
death as part of life. But now things are quite different.
Our youngsters have never been close by during the birth
of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family
member. When people get seriously sick
they are often
transferred to a hospital
where children are usually
unwelcome and forbidden to visit terminally ill patients.
This deprives the children of an experience of death

an experience very important to one''s life.
人们过去生在家里,死在家里。过去,生与死作为生活一
部分孩子们是经常看到的和听到的。但现在情况大不相同了。
我们年轻人从来看不到婴儿的降临,也体验不到一个家人的
死去。当人患了重病,他们常被送往医院,而孩子们通常在
医院是不受欢迎的,是
不允许探视临终的病人的。这就剥夺了孩子对死亡的体会,
而这个体会对人生来说是十分重要的。

38.2 It was once thought that air pollution affected
only the areas immediately around large cities with
factories and heavy traffic. Today
we know that although
these are the areas with the worst air pollution
the
problem is literally worldwide. The increase in carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere resulting from the burning of
coal and oil is creating a greenhouse effect
and raising
the world''s average temperature.
过去人们认为大气污染只影响工厂密集、交通繁忙的大城市周围
地区。现在我们懂得虽然这些地区空气污染最严重,但这一问题实
际上却是全球性的。燃烧煤和油使大气里的二氧化碳成份增加,
这就带来了温室效应,使世界平均气温上升。

39 Several years
decades ago
people ... Now
...
Today
... Why do people ...?
has such change taken place?

39.1 Several years ago
people were often a little
surprised when they heard that a college student was
doing a part-time job. "Why? Maybe he is short of money

they thought. Nowadays
it is not an uncommon occurrence
that college students are working as tutors
salesmen and
tour guides. Many students put up advertisements on bulletin
boards or lamp posts to search for odd jobs. Why do many
students show great interest in a part-time or a summer job?
几年前,人们听到某某大学生在打工,常会觉得有点惊奇。他们想
:“怎么啦?他可能缺钱用吧?”但如今大学生兼做家庭教师或
推销员、导游是常有的事了。许多学生在招贴栏或路灯杆上贴广告,
想寻找一份短工。为什么许多学生对课余打工或暑假打工这么感兴趣呢?

39.2 Several decades ago
early childhood was spent playing
games on the streets. To acquire academic skills at early
ages was not encouraged. But now there is an increasing
awareness of the importance of learning in the early years.
Failure to teach children when they are young is seen as
evidence of bad parenting. Hence education begins at increasingly
earlier ages. Children are now presented both at home and in
kindergarten with formal instruction in reading and math once
reserved for primary school students. Why has such a big change
taken place?
二三十年前,孩子们是在街上玩游戏度过童年的。人们并不鼓励从小
多学知识。但现在人们越来越认识到从小学习的重要性。如
果不从小教孩子识字等,父母会被认为对孩子不负责。所以现在教育
越来越早。无论在家里还是幼儿园,现在小孩子都接受正规的教
育,如识字,算数,而这些以前要到小学才学。为什么会发生这么大变化呢?

39.3 General attitude toward the market-oriented economy has
undergone a great change. Twenty or thirty years ago
very
few people believed that the market-oriented economy could work
in our society. Now
however
it is widely held that it is
the only key to the development of our economy. It is in my
opinion that the second of these attitudes is nearly unsophisticated
as the first. Yesterday''s skepticism was based on ignorance of
the law of economic growth; today''s assurance reflects a
misunderstanding of the nature of economy itself.
人们对市场经济的态度经历了很大的变化。二三十年前,很少有人认为
市场经济在我们国家行得通。而今天许多人则认为市场经济是我们经济发展
的唯一手段。而我认为,第二种态度同第一种差不多简单。昨天对市场经济
的怀疑态度是由于人们对经济发展规律的一无所知;而今天的绝对肯定
则反映了人们对经济本质的误解。

40 After a good many years of efforts to
enthusiasm for ...
people begin to ....

40.1 After years of second-class status
smaller rewards

and lesser coverage by sports writers
women athletes are
making great strides ------ not just in gymnastics and swimming

but in weightlifting and football. Women can and do compete
well in nearly every sport and draw as large crowds of plying
customers as men.
多少年来女运动员地位低下,报酬低,体育记者对她们报道也少。
现在她们正在取得很大的进步,不仅在体操、游泳,而且在举重和
足球方面也取得了长足的进步。妇女在几乎所有的体育项目上都能,
而且也确实干得很好,她们和男运动员一样能吸引许多观众。

40.2 After years of enthusiasm for more children
childbearing
is losing its appeal for many young couples in big cities.
In an increasing number
newly-weds put off having children
or decide not to have one at all. The latest reports show that
in 1994 married couples with wives under 35 had less than
one child on average
while with wives over 55 had more than
three children.
经过多年的多生孩子热后,大城市里的许多年轻夫妇对生孩子正逐渐
失去兴趣。越来越多的新婚夫妇推迟生育孩子或决定不要孩子。根据
最新的报道,1994年35岁以下的已婚女性平均生育子女还不到一个,
而55岁以上的妇女则超过3个。

40.3 After a good many years of observing human nature in
action
I have firmly concluded that two qualities make the
difference between leaders and men of average performance.
They are curiosity and discontent. These deep human urges
work together
I believe
to motivate all human discovery
and achievement.
经过多年来对现实生活中的人性的观察,我得出一个肯定结论:
人能成为一个杰出之材还是一个平庸之辈取决于两个特性:好奇和
不满足。我认为人性中的这两个欲望,一起起作用驱使人去发现,
去取得成就。

41 It is a traditional way
custom
practice to.... But now the pendulum has swung to another direction.
in the opposite direction.
the other way.


41.1 It is a traditional custom for Chinese old people to live with
their children and their grandchildren. In this way the young people
can express their gratefulness and show respect for the elderly. But
in the recent decades
the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction.
According to a study in 1994
52 percent of Chinese elderly were living
alone in their own houses or in nursing homes in big cities
as against
nearly zero in 1954. Why are increasing numbers of the old people living
apart from their children?
中国的老人和他们的子女和子孙住在一起是一个传统的习惯。年轻人以此来表示
对老人的尊敬,表达对父辈养育之恩的报答。但最近一二十年,钟摆转到相反的方
向去了。根据1994年一项调查, 52%的老人独住自己家,或住进大城市的养老院,
而在1954年则基本没有这种情况。为什么越来越多的老人和他们的于女分开住呢?

41.2 Traditionally
young ad4iks are preoccupied with business careers

financial success
the accumulation of possessions and conformable living.
But now the pendulum seems to be swinging the other way. According to the
1994 census
many counterculture ideas have entered mainstream culture.
More people are defining success in terms of intangibles ------ creativity

autonomy
pleasure
participation
adventure
stimulation
and love.
Many are questioning the kinds of work society offers and the payoffs
it provides. And many are dissatisfied with the traditional social
identities of wife and husband.
传统上来说,青年人关心的是职业、成功、积累财富以及舒适的生活。但现在
钟摆似乎转到另一方向去了。根据1994年的调查,许多反文化的观念已进入了主流文化。
许多人衡量成功的标志不再是物质方面,而是创造、自主、快乐、参与、冒险、刺激和爱情。
许多人对社会提供的工作和支付的报酬发生了疑问,并且不满足于丈夫和妻子的传统社会属性。

42 In recent years
there is a steady / subtle / significant shift of
general / growing / healthy tendency to
upward / welcome / undesirable trend toward ...
42 According to a poll
study
survey
there is X percent of...
compared with Y percent last year. Why...?

42.1 In recent years there is a steady shift of scientists from the
pure to applied field. According to a study
in Beijing alone 72 percent
of scientists and researchers have switched to industries where there
are more jobs available and frequently more highly-paid than jobs
connected with pure research. Does the trend have something to do
with nationwide concentration on immediate results of economy and
little interest in long-range studies?
最近几年,科学家正从纯理论的研究转到应用领域上来。根据一项调查显示:
光北京地区就有72%的科研工作者转向了工业部门,那里不仅工作机会多,
通常工资待遇也远比理论研究部门要高得多。这种倾向是否和全国只注重
经济的直接产出,不太关心长期的理论研究有关呢?

42.2 In recent years there is a tendency towards living alone ------
a dramatic step on the path away from the close-knit
extended families
so common just a few decades ago. According to a census report

households consisting of just one person have increased to 14 percent
in the past year
compared with 4 percent 20 years ago. Why are people
living alone?
近些年来独身现象悄然出现。这对几十年前相当普遍的关系紧密的大家庭来说,
是一个非常大的变化。根据一份调查报告,去年单身者家庭上升14%,而在20年
前只有4%单身者家庭。为什么那些人要选择独身生活呢?

VI.故事法

文章开头讲一个故事,不仅可以引起读者的兴趣,且可引出文章要讨论
的主题。以下是引出故事的句型。

43 Last Sunday

The other day

Some months ago
I
a friend of mine ... The story

unusual
it is one
typical of thousands of ...

43.1 The other day
I met Miss Lee
my old classmate
who told me
that she had decided to quit her job as a teacher at the end of
the school year and to go into a company. She said that she couldn''t
make a living in her chosen profession and that not even her
moonlighting twice a week could put her out of the financial quagmire
she was in. Miss Lee''s case is not unusual
it is typical of
thousands of young teachers who are quitting their jobs in search
of more lucrative work.
几天前,我遇到老同学李小姐。她告诉我她决定在本学期未辞去教师工作,
去一家公司供职。她说她选择的教师职业使她无法生活下去,即使她每周两次
晚上出去打工,还是不能摆脱经济站据的窘境。李小姐的情况很普遍。在成千
上万辞去自己原来工作,去寻找比较有钱的职业的青年教师中,她是个典型的例子。

43.2 Last evening
I went to visit one of my friends and was little
surprised to find his ten-year-old daughter having an early dinner
alone. Why didn''t she have supper with her family? "She is going to
have class in the evening school
explained her father. The case is
not rare. My friend''s daughter is just one of thousands of school
children around the city who are learning foreign languages in evening schools.
昨晚我去看望一个朋友,看到她10岁的女儿正独自吃早晚饭有些奇怪。
便问:“她为什么不和家人一起吃晚饭?”他父亲解释道:“她要上夜校去。”
这种情况并不鲜见。在夜校学外语的全市数以万计的在校学生中,
我朋友的女儿不过是其中的一个而已。

44 Once in a hospital

nationwide
general attention.
concern

44.1 Once in a hospital I saw a small child with acute leukemia.
She made the rounds and asked the adults ------ her father
mother
and relatives

What is it going to be like when I die?" The
grown-ups responded in a variety of ways
some crying out
some l
osing for wards. The only message the little girl received through
the grown-ups'' response was that they had a lot of fear when it
came to talking about death. How to help our youngsters to deal
with the reality of death ------ part of life that all of us
eventually have to face? The question has now drawn general attention.
有一次我在医院里看到一个患白血病的小女孩。她环视了一下来看望她的大人,
逐个问她的爸爸、妈妈及亲戚:“我死后会怎么样?”大人们的反应各不相同,
有的不禁失声痛哭,有的吞吞吐吐不知如何作答。这个女孩从大人的反应中得到
的唯一信息是,在谈到死亡时他们对死都很害怕。如何来帮助孩子正确对待死,
这个我们每一个人最终都必须面对的现实呢?这个问题已引起许多人的注意。

44.2 Once in a newspaper I read of a crowd of people who remained
appallingly indifferent to the plea of a mother. As she failed to
offer the required amount of cash as a price to save her drowning son

the woman at last watched her son sink to death. The story is not rare
in newspapers and on TV
and the casualness and detachment our people
now have developed has amused nationwide concern.
有一次在报上我读到一则消息:一大群人对一位落水儿童的母亲的哀求置之
不理真令人震惊。由于这位妇女一时拿不出所要求的现钱的数目作为救她孩子的回报
,最后她眼睁睁地看着儿子淹死。这种事在报纸、电视上常有报道。人们现在
表现出来的这种麻木不仁、见死不救的态度已引起了全社会的关注。

45 I have a friend
A friend of mine who .... Should
Can he...? Such a choice
dilemma
problem we often meet
face
confront in our daily life.

45.1 I have a friend who lies in a hospital
slowly dying
of a painful and incurable disease. Although there is no hope
of recovery
the disease sometimes permits its victim to linger
on for many months in ever great torment. My friend
apprised of
the outcome and knowing that the hospital expenses are a severe
drain on his family''s limited financial resources
decides that
death had better come at once. Should the family meet his demand
despite the enormous love for him? Should the doctor run the risk of
providing him with the necessary drug? Such a dilemma we often meet
in our daily life.
我有一个朋友躺在医院里,他患了不治之症,在痛苦中慢慢死去。
虽然这种病无法医治,但病人要在愈来愈痛苦的折磨中挣扎好几个月。
我的朋友得知自己的病情后,考虑到耗费在自己身上的医药费时并不富裕的
家来说是个沉重的经济负担,决定尽快结束生命。虽然他的家人很爱他,
但是否应同意他的要求呢?医生是否应冒险向他提供结束生命必要的药物呢?
在日常生活中我们常遇到这样的难题。

46 Once upon a time was
lived a man. ... The tale
story may be apocryphal
unbelievable
46 but it still has a realistic significance
its underlying moral has continuing relevance
now
today.

46.1 Once upon a time there were a brother and sister squabbling
over an apple
with each insisting on the larger slice. Just as the
boy had gained control of the knife and was poised to hack off the
larger share for himself
the parents said: "Hold it! I don''t care
who cuts that apple into two pieces
but whoever does has to give
the other the right to select the piece they want. " Naturally

to protect himself
the boy cut the apple into two pieces of equal size.
The tale may be apocryphal
but its underlying moral has continuing
relevance today. There are sane situations in which the needs of the
protagonists are not really in opposition. If the focus shifts firm
defeating each other to defeating the problem
every one can benefit.
从前有一对兄妹为一只苹果争吵,两人都想吃大的一块。正当那个男孩拿
起刀子准备切下大的一半给自己时,父母说:“住手,不管谁把它切开,
但切的人得给对方选择他所要部分的权利。”很自然,男孩为了不吃亏,
把苹果切成一般大小的两块。这则故事有点难以置信,但其中蕴含的教益至
今有用。有许多情况双方的需求并不真正对立,只需把争论的焦点从打
败对手转移到解决问题这上面来,双方便都能得益。

VII.问题法

问题法句型主要用于讨论一个有争议性主题的文章。文章开头用一个要讨
论或解答的问题设问,可以一下激起读者的兴趣。

47 Should
What ...? Opinions of
Attitudes towards ... vary widely / greatly
from person to person .
47 Some think of
regard
view ... as .... Others argue
believe
claim ....

47.1 Should a scientist be responsible for his discoveries? Opinions
vary widely. To some people
the answer is negative. They think that
the function of the scientist in society is to supply knowledge and that
he needn''t concern himself with the uses to which his knowledge or

discoveries may be put. But other people argue that a scientist has a
duty to make sure that his discovery is used for
not against
society.
科学家对他的发现该不该负责?人们有不同的看法。有的人认为回答是否定的。
他们认为科学家在社会中的作用就是提供知识,而这些知识或发现如何用,
他不必去关心。然而有的人则认为科学家有责任确保其发现用以为社会服务,
而不是有害于社会。

47.2 Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients ------ to speed
recovery or to conceal the approach of death? People''s attitude toward
the doctor''s lie varies from person to person. Some see important reasons
to lie for the patient''s own sake; others think that truthful information
should not be denied or distorted. But in medicine as in law
government
and other lines of work
the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed
by greater needs: the need to shelter from brutal news or to uphold a
promise of secrecy; to expose corruption or to promote the public interest.
为了对病人有利——为了加快病人的康复或不让病人知道自己濒临死亡——
医生到底该不该撒谎?对医生的撒谎,人们的态度截然不同。有人认为,
为病人自身着想,撒谎是有必要的。有人则认为不应隐瞒或歪曲真相。
然而医疗行业与法律、政府及其它行业一样,有些东西往往比诚实更为重要。
如避免恐怖的消息所造成的后果,或必须格守保密的诺言,
或需要揭露腐败行为或促进公众利益。

47.3 What does it take to succeed in one''s studies or career?
Opinions vary widely. Given approximately equal circumstances

some claim the success factor is largely a matter of luck ------
being in the right place and the right time. Others speak of utter
devotion to work
combined with a degree of ruthlessness. Still
others maintain that it is undoubtedly a matter of how much
intelligence you have or simply how much education your mother had.
是什么使一个人在自己的学习或工作上获得成功?人们的意见不尽相同。
在基本相同的情况下,有人认为成功的因素主要是运气,即正处在恰当的
地点和恰当的时间。有的则认为是由于全身心地投入工作以至于对自己近
乎残忍的科度。还有人认为成功无疑取决于是否聪慧或取决于其母亲受教育的程度。

48 How do you
What do you
Do you ever think of...? How do you
What do you
Do you ever see...? In answer
reply to these questions
we must....

48.1 How do we think of the heavy burden a student has to carry
from kindergarten through graduate school? How do we measure
success in education? How does education affect not only labor
skills but the quality of life? In seeking answers to such questions

there is much man ------ indeed necessity ------ for consideration
and robust debate.
我们如何看一个学生从幼儿园到大学所承受的沉重的学习负担?我们又如何
来衡量一个人在学习上的成功?而教育又怎样不仅影响一个人的工作技能而且
还影响到生活质量?要寻找这些问题的答案,有许多地方,也确实有必要进行
思考并开展热烈的讨论。

49 "Why do
have .. . ?" Many people often ask
pose the question like this.

49.1 "Why does the idea of progress loan so large in the modern world?"
Many people often ask the question like this. Surely it is because
progress of a particular kind is actually taking place around us
and is becoming more and more manifest. Although mankind has
undergone no general improvement in morality
it has made
extraordinary progress in knowledge and technology.
为什么进步这个概念在当今世界上如此受人重视?许多人经常问这一问题。
毫无疑问,这是因为某种特殊的进步实际上正在我们周围出现,
而且变得越来越明显。虽然人类在道德方面并无普遍的提高,
但在知识和技术方面却取得了非凡的进步。

49.2 "Why have I chosen to attend college? Is the four-year
academic life worthwhile?" I have put these questions to myself
at many times in the past two years. Have I come because of parental
influence
or because I have some goal of my own that I wish to
pursue? After pondering these questions on many occasions

I have finally reached the conclusion that I have come to college
not for money nor for fame but for knowledge
for a better
understanding of the world around me.
“我为什么要选择读大学,这四年的学习生活是否值得?”
在过去的两年中我不止一次地问自己。我读大学是否因父母的影响?
或有自己所要追求的目标?经过无数次思考,我最后得出结论,
我读大学并不是为钱、为名,而是为了知识,为了更好地了解我周围的世界。

CET4语法结构、词汇考点及应试策略
一、大纲要求

最新《大学英语教学大纲》(1999)对四级语法的要求是:“巩固和加深基本语法知识,提高在语篇水平上运用语法知识的能力。”《大纲》对四级词汇的要求是:“领会式掌握4200单词(其中复用式掌握的单词为2500),以及由这些词构成的常用词组1600条(中学所掌握的词和词组均包括在内),并且有按照基本构词法识别生词的能力。”

二、四级语法结构与词汇考查内容

四级考试对语法词汇的考查与《大纲》要求是十分一致的。综观近年来的四级考试题,我们不难发现四级考试语法词汇部分是这样体现《大纲》的。

1.语法考题的涉及面宽
近年考题曾经考到:几乎所有词类,三种动词的非谓语形式,名词从句,形容词从句,副词从句,独立主格,一致,倒装,强调等基本语法知识。

2.语法考试的重点突出
语法考试的重点为内容庞杂较难掌握的项目,这些项目还反复出现如:虚拟语气,状语从句,定语从句,独立主格,情态动词。

3.具体考查重点为以上项目中的特殊用法,
不常用的情况
1)虚拟语气的考点为:would rather+that从句+一般过去时:It is vital/necessary/important/urgent/imperative/desirable/advisable/natural/essential+that+动词原形;It is time/about time/high time+that+一般过去时:proposal/suggestion+that+动词原形;lest+that+should+动词原形;if only+that+would+动词原形。
2)状语从句的考点为:非if引导的条件状语从句,此类句子多用at times,provided,so long as,incase,once等来替代if;由even if/so,now that,for all等引导的让步状语从句;just/hardly…when引导的时间状语从句;more than,as…as,not so much as,the same as,as much as等引导的比较状语从句。
3)独立主格结构多以逻辑主语+分词的形式出现。
4)情态动词多与完成时形式连用。
5)定语从句重点考查介词+关系代词(which)和as作为关系代词。

4.词汇的考查重点为
1)动词,名词与介词的搭配如:popular/patient+with;yield/solution/adapt/transfer/access+to;accuse/require+of;charge+for;under+discussion等等。
2)习惯用法如:confess to/set about/be used to+doing;be supposed to/have/make sb.+do等。
3)由同一动词构成的短语如:come,go,set,break等构成的短语。
4)单个的动词,抽象名词,形容词和副词多以近义词、同义词的形式出现。
5)介词短语在句中作状语如:in terms of;with the exception of;in vain等,另外还应注意rather than,other than,such as,none/nothing+but等词在考题中的出现。

5.近年来考题中的新趋势为:若干考点混合出现:一些交际用语也时常出现在考题中。最新《大学英语教学大纲》(1999)对四级语法的要求是:“巩固和加深基本语法知识,提高在语篇水平上运用语法知识的能力。”《大纲》对四级词汇的要求是:“领会式掌握4200单词(其中复用式掌握的单词为2500),以及由这些词构成的常用词组1600条(中学所掌握的词和词组均包括在内),并且有按照基本构词法识别生词的能力。”

非谓语动词等语法项目的测试特点和应对策略。
一、 非谓语动词

近几年的语法测试中非谓语动词约占31.1%,平均每年近5道题,可谓是语法项目考查的重点,那么非谓语动词的考查都有哪些特点,解答时又应注意些什么呢?下面我和大家就一起来分析一下:

1、非谓语动词考查特点

1) 谓语动词与非谓语动词的判断
对谓语动词与非谓语动词区别的考查主要集中在独立主格结构,如:
All things ___ because of the snowstorm
many passengers could do nothing buttake the train.(1999.1)
A. had been canceled B. have been canceled
C. were canceled D. having been canceled
四个选项中有三个是谓语动词,只有D是非谓语动词,只要同学们能判断出这里是非谓语动词做状语,则不用考虑时态的问题,答案自明。

2) 谓语动词后不定式与动名词的选择
谓语动词后接不定式还是接动名词也是四级语法测试中的一个题眼。如:
① I don''t mind ____ the decision as long as it is not too late.
(2000.1)
A. you to delay making B. your delaying making
C. your delaying to make D. you delay to make
② Had I remembered ____ the windows
the thief would not have
got in.(1996.1)
A. to close B. closing
C. to have closed D. having closed
③ Your hair wants ______ . You''d better have it done tomorrow.
A. cut B. to cut C. cutting D. being cut(1997.6)
这类题涉及三个方面:
谓语动词后应该接不定式还是动名词?
即可接不定式又可接动名词时,结构和意思上有何差别?
不定式与动名词用主动形式还是用被动形式?

3) 做定语的非谓语动词的选择
从近几年的考查情况来看,对做定语的非谓语动词的考查有两种情况:
(1)对一般概念的考查,而不是固定结构中的非谓语动词做定语。如:
① The project ____ by the end of 2000
will expand the city''s
telephone network to cover 1
000
000 users.(1999.6)
A. accomplished B. being accomplished
C. to be accomplished D. having been accomplished
② If I correct someone
I will do it with so much good humor
and self-restraint as if I were the one ______.(1996.6)
A. to correct B. correcting
C. having been corrected D. being corrected
同学们只要掌握非谓语动词做定语的一般的规律
就可以判断①题答案为C,②题答案为D。
(2)对固定结构的考查,如:
① The professor could hardly find sufficient grounds _____ his
arguments in favor of the new theory.(2000.6)
A. to be based on B. to base on
C. which to base on D. on which to base
② The pressure _____ causes Americans to be energetic
but it
also puts them under a constant emotional strain.
A. to compete B. competing
C. to be competed D. having competed
①题为不定式做定语的固定形式,答案为D,②题为某些特定名词的定语结构,答案为A。在英语中有些名词,如动词变来的名词,形容词变来的名词,以及means
way
time
moment
reason等要求其后用不定式做定语,不定式没有体的变化。

4) 做状语的非谓语动词的选择
做状语的非谓语动词主要考查其各种形式的选择,如:
① ______ the earth to be flat
many feared that Columbus would
fall off the edge of the earth.(1996.6)
A. Having believed B. Believing
C. Believed D. Being Believed
② _______ a teacher in a university
it is necessary to have at
least a master''s degree.(1995.1)
A. To become B. Become C. One becomes D. On becoming
③ Realizing that he hadn''t enough money and ____ to borrow from
his father
he decided to sell his watch.(1995.1)
A. not wanted B. no to want C. not wanting D. wanting not
④ ___ it or not
his discovery has created a stir in scientific
circles.(1997.1)
A. Believe B. To believe C. Believing D. Believed
从以上各题来看,考查的侧重点有:
(1)状语类别的判断
不同的状语对非谓语动词的要求不同,目的状语要求用不定式,如②。
(2)非谓语动词与句子属于之间的逻辑关系
根据主谓关系或动宾关系的不同来确定用现在分词还是用过去分词。
(3)非谓语动词的否定形式
not否定非谓语动词时置于非谓语动词之前,如③。
(4) 独立成分
有些非谓语动词的使用不受与句子主语关系的限制,称为独立成分,这类成 分只记忆即可。如:
generally speaking
judging from...
to tell the truth...
等。

5) 做补足语的非谓语动词的选择
做宾语补足语的非谓语动词受谓语动词的限制,不同动词后的宾语补足语形式要求不同。近几年对各类宾补都有考查。如:
① They are going to have the service man ____ an electric fan in the officetomorrow.(1998.1)
A. install B. to install C. to be installed D. installed
② After a few rounds of talks
both sides regarded the territory
dispute ______.(1998.6)
A. being settled B. to be settled
C. had settled D. as settled
③ You will see this product ____ wherever you go.(2000.6)
A. to be advertised B. advertised
C. advertise D. advertising
④ His remarks left me _____ about his real purpose.(1999.6)
A. wondered B. wonder C. to wonder D. wondering
⑤ When I caught him ______ me I stopped buying things there and started dealingwith another shop.(1997.1)
A. cheating B. cheat C. to cheat D. to be cheating
⑥ The sale usually takes place outside the house
with the
audience _____ on benches
chairs or boxes.(2000.1)
A. having seated B. seating C. seated D. having been seated

考查涉及到
感官动词后的宾语补足语,如③。
have
make
let
leave等特殊单词后的宾语补足语。
regard类后面的宾语补足语
with独立分句后面的
常用动词后面的宾语补足语。

6) 做表语的非谓语动词的选择
表语的考查多侧重于分词做表语形式的选择,很少有动名词的用法的考查,虽然选项中有不定式作为干扰项,只要能看出是做表语的也就不用考虑。如:
① The house was very quiet
____ as it was on the side of the
mountain.(1999.6)
A. isolated B. isolating
C. being isolated D. having been isolated
② These surveys indicate that many crimes go _____ by the police
mainly becausenot all victims report them.(2000.6)
A. unrecorded B. to be unrecorded
C. unrecording D. to have been unrecorded
分词做表语可以做系动词be的表语,也可以做其它系动词的表语,如go
feel
seem
look
remain等等。这些系动词后非谓语动词的饿用法规则是相同的。

7) to作为介词与作为不定式符号的选择

to可以是介词,也可以用来引导不定式,四级考试中对种类用法的考查也比较多。如:
① I have no objection _______ your story again.(2000.6)
A. to hear B. to hearing
C. to having heard D. to have heard
② The traditional approach ____ with complex problems is to break down intosmaller
more easily managed problems.(1996.6)
A. to dealing B. in dealing C. dealing D. to deal
③ The man in the corner confessed to _____ a lie to the manager
of the company.(1997.6)
A. have told B. be told C. being told D. having told
这类考题的考查方式有两种,一是四个选项中有两个相对的选项to do something 和 to doing something,这时考查的自然是to的性质;另一种是to在题干中,如③。

8) 分词前连词的使用

分词前连词的使用是为了使分词的作用更加明了,使考生更加准确地理解试题。考查有两种情况
(1)根据连词选择适当的分词形式
Michael used to look hurt and surprised when ______.(1995.1)
A. scolding B. to scold C. having scolded D. scolded
when的使用说明非谓语动词做时间状语,答案不可能是B,从scold与句子主语间的逻辑关系来看,应该是动宾关系,答案应该是D。
(2)根据状语的功能选择不同的连词
Careful surveys have indicated that as many as 50 percent of
patient do not take drugs ___ directed.(1996.1)
A. like B. so C. which D. as
由上下文的意思可以看出,分词所做的是方式状语,连词应该是as。

9) 非谓语动词的体

非谓语动词中分词的体有完成体和进行体,即having done
having been done和being done,完成体只用于做状语的场合,而进行体可以用于做定语和做补足语。
动名词的体也有having done
having been done和 being done的结构主要用于做主语和宾语的场合。
不定式的体有to be doing 和to have done,主要用于pretend
happen
seem
appear
be said to等结构中。如:
① The man in the corner confessed to _____ a lie to the manager
of the company.(1997.6)
A. have told B. be told C. being told D. having told
having told在句中做介词宾语,表示动作发生在谓语动词之前。
② I''d rather read than watch television; the programs seem ____
all the time.(1997.1)
A. to get worse B. to be getting worse
C. to have got worse D. getting worse
从all the time的使用可以推断get worse是一个渐变过程,所以用不定式的进行体。
③ The speech _____ a lively discussion started.(1995.1)
A. being delivered B. was delivered
C. be delivered D. having been delivered
该结构属于独立主格结构做时间状语,状语分词所表示的动作发生在谓语动词之前,所以应该用完成体,答案为D。

10)动名词复合结构
动名词符合结构可以做主语、宾语和表语,在对动名词的考查中总是将其逻辑主语包括进来,形成动名词的复合结构:
① _____ in an atmosphere of simple living was what her parents
wished for.(1999.1)
A. The girl was educated B. The girl educated
C. The girl''s being educated D. The girl to be educated
本题涉及题眼比较多,A,为从句做主语,但缺少that,D为不定式做主语,但缺少for(for the girl to be educated),B结构不能做主语,答案是C,为动名词的复合结构。
② Ann never dreams of _____ for her to be sent abroad very soon.
A. there being a chance B. there to be a chance
C. there be a chance D. being a chance
介词后用动名词,表示存在时必须用there be句型,所以答案为A,这也是动名词复合结构,there为动名词的逻辑主语。
③ I don''t mind _____ the decision as long as it is not too late.
A. you to delay making B. your delaying making
C. you delaying to make D. you delay to make (2000.1)
Mind要求接动名词
动名词的逻辑主语用形容词性物主代词,答案自然是B。
④ I would appreciate _____ it a secret.(1995.6)
A. your keeping B. you to keep
C. that you keep D. that you will keep
本题与上一题类似,答案是A。

2.非谓语动词解题策略

1) 正确判断非谓语动词

这类题一般出现在独立主格结构中,如果在选项与句子之间没有连词,则说明,所选为独立主格结构,既名词或主格代词 + 分词。
All things ______
the planned trip will have to be called off.
A. considered B. be considered
C. considering D. having considered (1998.6)
句子没有连词,说明所选结构不属于从句,那么就是独立主格做状语,根据动词与其逻辑主语之间的关系为动宾关系,答案应该是A。
____
a man who expresses himself effectively is sure to succeed
more rapidly than a man whose command of language is poor.(1997.6)
A. Other things being equal B. Were other things equal
C. To be equal to other things D. Other things to be equal
做状语的可以是从句,但B的结构是虚拟条件,与这里不符,不表目的,C不对,不表将来,独立主格中非谓语动词不能是不定式,答案为A。

4) 判断动名词复合结构的方式

主语位置上,或动词、介词后的"名词代词 + 非谓语动词",如果表示的是一个事件则是动名词复合结构,而不是"名词 + 定语。请看以下各例:
He insisted on the windows _____ open while he was sleeping.
A. left B. being left C. leaving D. be left
insist on后不接从句,D可以排除。这里表达的是坚持要求"开着窗子睡觉",所以应该是动名词复合结构,答案为B。
The road __________ caused us to be for our work for half an hour.
A. blocked B. was blocked C. blocking D. being blocked
做主语的表示上班迟到的原因,自然应该是"交通堵塞",而不是"被堵的道路",所以还是动名词复合结构,答案为D。
The concerned mother thrilled at the news of his son _________ to college.
A. had been admitted B. admitted
C. having been admitted D. having admitted
消息表达的应该是个事件,说明不是"被录取的孩子",介词of后不可能接从句,说明of后为动名词的复合结构,答案是C。

3) 注意分析非谓语动词与其逻辑主语之间的关系

正确判断非谓语动词与起逻辑主语之间的关系是正确选择非谓语动词形式的保证,不管是做什么成分的非谓语动词都体现以下特点:
如果非谓语动词与逻辑主语之间是主谓关系,则用现在分词;
如果非谓语动词与逻辑主语之间是动宾关系,则用过去分词;
如果表示将来,则用动词不定式。
这是非谓语动词运用的基本原则,然后再根据其不同的作用,掌握其更细的规则。如:
(1)做定语时
做定语的可以是动名词、分词或不定式。动名词做前置定语,所构成的大多为固定短语,四级考试一般不涉及。主要考查分词和不定式做定语。分词或不定式做定语一般做后置定语。
① The project ____ by the end of 2000
will expand the city''s
telephone network to cover 1
000
000 users.
A. accomplished B. being accomplished
C. to be accomplished D. having been accomplished
② Hard work ____ on time will lead to better grades.(1995.1)
A. done B. be done C. having done D. to have been done
③ As early as 1647 Ohio made a decision that free
tax-supported
schools must be established in every town _____ 50 households
or more.(1998.1)
A. having B. to have C. to have had D. having had
④ Those _____ to the conference were mostly famous scientists.
A. invited B. were invited C. inviting D. to invite
做定语的非谓语动词有一下几种形式:
doing 结构
:分词与中心词之间是主谓关系
表示正在进行
或状态。如③
being done结构
:分词与中心词之间是动宾关系,表示被动和正在进行,如:No one is to enter the buildingbeing repaired.
to be done结构
:不定式与中心词之间是动宾关系,表示将来和被动,如①。
done结构
:分词与中心词之间是动宾关系,表示被动、完成或一般,如②④。
to do结构
:不定式与中心词之间是主谓关系,表示将来。如:The professor to give us a speechtomorrow is said to have compiled many scientific works.
完成形式不能做定语,包括分词的完成形式和不定式的完成形式。
(2)做状语
做状语的可以是不定式,也可以是分词。大体结构有:
doing 结构
:分词与句子主语为主谓关系,表示与谓语动词同时发生,或基本上同时发生,或是同时存在的状态。如:
______ the earth to be flat
many feared that Columbus would fall off the edgeof the earth.
A. Having believed B. Believing
C. Believed D. Being believed
done结构
:只要分词与句子主语间是动宾关系就可以用过去分词,可以表示完成,可以表示正在进行,也可以表示条件。如:
_______ in this way
the situation doesn''t seem so disappointing.
A. Too look at B. Looking at
C. Looked at D. To be looked at (2000.1)
He came in
followed by a group of reporters.
having done结构
:分词与句子主语是主谓关系,切发生在谓语动词之前。Having seen the film already
I declined his invitation to go to the cinema.
having been done结构
:该结构表示完成被动,即分词与句子主语之间是动宾关系,切发生在谓语动词之前。如:Havingbeen showed many times
he still didn''t understand the operation of the machine.
to do 结构
:这是不定式结构,在句中可以做目的状语,也可以做结果状语,但不定式动作总是发生在谓语动词之后。如:
_______ a teacher in a university
it is necessary to have at
least a master''s degree.
A. To become B. Become C. One becomes D. On becoming
表结果时一般为固定结构,如too …to…
enough to….,或是表示出乎意料的结果,常可加构成only to的结构。如:
I did what I could to comfort her only to make her cry even more.
The next day
she woke to find herself in hospital.
being done结构
:该结构表示被动与正在进行,一般置于句首,表示原因。如:Being chased by some spies
he hid himself in the grass.
(2)做表语
测试中对表语的考查主要侧重在现在分词与过去分词的区别上,所以对于做表语的非谓语动词,主要看分词与句子主语之间的关系。做表语的分词一般只有doing和done两种形式。现在分词表示做表语的与主语是主谓关系;过去分词表示做表语的与主语之间是动宾关系。根据使用规律,如果主语是无生命名词,则表语分词为现在分词;如果主语是有生命名词,以过去分词居多,但也可以用现在分词,但意思不同。如:
How disappointed he felt at the result of the election. (他感到失望)
How disappointing he is. He should have failed in such an election. (他令人失望)
可接表语的系动词很多,除be外还有remain
feel
look
appear
seem
get
become
go。
(3)做补足语
一般做宾补的非谓语动词动词的形式选择与其它成分中的非谓语动词形式选择规则基本相同。
doing结构:分词与宾语构成主谓关系,表正在进行。
When I caught him ____ me I stopped buying things there and
started dealing with another shop.
A. cheating B. cheat C. to cheat D. to be cheating
done结构:分词与宾语构成动宾关系,表示被动与完成。
Don''t get your schedule _____;stay with us in this class.(1996.1)
A. to change B. changing C. changed D. change
to do 结构:不定式表示将来,如wish somebody to do
expect somebody to do
arrange for somebodyto do等等。
being done结构:表示被动和正在进行
watch the flag being raised
Corn originated in the New World and thus was not known in Europe
until Columbus found it _____ in Cuba.(2000.1)
A. being cultivated B. been cultivated
C. having cultivated D. cultivating
to be done结构:用语表示将来与被动,一般用语主谓关系时可用to做宾补的动词后,如:want something to be done
ordersomething to be done
完成形式不能做宾补。

4) 注意分析非谓语动词做什么状语

不同的状语对非谓语动词的要求不同,如表示目的只能是不定式,另外,测试中也常有选择非谓语动词前连词的试题。因此,同学们应注意根据状语与句子间的关系,判断连词的使用。5) 注意不定式的特殊句式

不定式在做定语和做状语时都有其特殊句式,注意这些句式的特点,考试中就会少走一点弯路。如:
have something to do类:
这类结构相当于汉语的连动结构,即"有事要做","买东西吃","借书看"等。
a room in which to live类:
该类结构是a room to live in 的变体。但如果不熟悉这个结构,考试中则难以决断。如:
You will want two trees about ten feet apart
from _____ to
suspend your tent.(1998.1)
A. there B. them C. which D. where
The professor could hardly find sufficient grounds _____ his
arguments in favor of the new theory.(2000.6)
A. to be based on B. to base on
C. which to base on D. on which to base
the first to do
该结构表示如果名词前有序数词、形容词最高级或序数词、最高级本身做名词用,其后应不定式做定语。
the ability to do
该结构表示,形容词变了的名词后用不定式做定语。
the need to do
该结构表示由动词变来的名词后用不定式做定语。
the way to do
该结构表示,在一些特定的名词后面常用不定式做定语,应注意记忆,如means
reason
time
pressure
moment。

6) 熟记固定搭配,分清不定式与to加动名词

其实容易产生不定式符号与介词混淆的只是为数不多的某些句式,只要平时注意积累即可。
prefer doing something to doing something
look forward to doing something
be used to doing something (习惯于做某事)
stick to doing something
object to doing something/ have objection to doing something
be opposed to doing something
admit/confess to doing something

I have no objection _____ your story again.(2000.6)
A. to hear B. to hearing C. to having heard D. to have heard
The man in the corner confessed to ________ a lie to the manager of the company.
A. have told B. be told C. being told D. having told
从出题人的心理来看,如果有to do something和 to doing something的对比项,一般答案是to doing something。

7) 分清宾补的类别

(1)感官动词后的宾补可以是
doing
do
done
being done的结构,其中being done 只用于少数动词后面, 如find
smell
feel等。
(2)have somebody do something 让某人做某事
have somebody doing something 让某人一直做某事
won''t have somebody do something 不许某人做某事
have something done 使某事被做
have something + ving 让……一直……
(3)catch
smell
keep
set
等只能接doing的结构
表示主动和正在进行。
(4)leave somebody doing something 让某人一直做某事
leave something undone 使某事只做了一半
leave something to be done 事情有待于解决
leave somebody to do something让某事做某事,表示将来
(5)with somebody to do something宾补与宾语是主谓关系,表示将来。
with somebody doing something 宾补与宾语之间是主谓关系,表示正在进行。
with something to do 宾补与宾语间是动宾关系,表示将来,动作执行者在句中找的着。
with something to be done宾补与宾语是动宾关系,表示将来,但动作执行者在句中找不着。
with something done 宾补与宾语之间是动宾关系,表示完成。 8) 注意下列结构中非谓语动词的体

pretend/appear/seem/happen/ be said to do something
不定式动作一般为状态动词,也可是终止性动词,表示与谓语动词同时存在或发生。
pretend/appear/seem/happen/ be said to have done something
不定式动作发生在谓语动词之前。
pretend/appear/seem/happen/ be said to be doing something
不定式动作与谓语动词同时进行

9)熟记哪些动词后接不定式
哪些接动名词
如果两者都可,又有什么差别。

既可接不定式
又可接动名词
用法有别的动词常考的有: forget
remember
regret
mean
try等。

10)注意want/need/require表示"需要"时的特殊句式

want/need/require表"需要"时,后接主动的动名词或被动的不定式,即doing 或to be done的形式。不可混淆。

2. 比较级测试特点

在四级测试中,比较级属低档题,比较简单,考查范围大体有
1)比较级形式的判断
比较级考题在设计干扰项时一般都会有比较与非比较的选择,more than 与as/so …as的选择。如上面的③,⑤。
2)比较级的修饰语
比较级的修饰语包括修饰语的结构和修饰语的选用。
结构指比较级修饰语须置于比较级之前,如①,②和④。
修饰语的选用根据其所表达的意思而定,如⑥,⑩。
3)比较级结构与其它结构的区别
如⑧中形容词修饰语more than a month与比较级结构的区别,⑨中most 与the most的区别。

3. 比较级应对策略

1)如果选项中有比较级结构,则该题则为比较级考查题,可根据比较级使用规则选择正确答案。
2)比较级修饰语应注意more than 或as…as结构之前。
3)注意比较结构的完整性,要么是more than 结构,要么是as/so …as 结构,或是the more ….
the more ….的句型。
4)注意结构的各种变体:
结构内出现名词时的结构可以是as old a car
as many /much/few/little …as。
5)如果有比较 对象的选择应注意比较对象的一致性和互不包容性。如:
His English is better than anyone else''s in his class.

三、 情态动词

1. Test Yourself

首先让我们分析以下近几年情态动词的考题:
1) This box is too heavy
_________give me a hand?(1998.1)
A .would you mind B. would you please
C. will you like to D. will you please to

参考答案
1) B 2) C 3) D 4) B 5) D 6) C 7) A

2.情态动词的测试要点

从以上例题可以看出,四级语法对情态动词的测试大体有以下几点。
1)情态动词的基本用法,如①④⑤。
2)情态动词 + 动词的完成形式的用法,如③⑥。
3)情态动词的推测性用法⑦。

3. 情态动词的应对策略

情态动词的使用主要根据其所表达的含义。解题时注意以下几点:

1)情态动词自身结构要正确

结构包括情态动词自身的搭配和其后的连带成分。除ought外情态动词后接原形动词,测试中常将不同结构的动词置于一起设干扰项,如①。四个选项都与请求有关,但wouldyou mind后接动名词,一般说would you like to而不是will you like to,will you please后用原形动词,答案是wouldyou please?

2)注意情态动词推测性用法中各个情态动词使用的句型是否与题干句型一致。

在情态动词的推测性用法中,must
can
may
might
could各用于不同的句型,应注意分辨。具体使用规律为:
must只用于肯定句中。
can/could不能用语肯定句中。
may/might不能用语疑问句中。
另外还应注意can''t表示"不可能",may not表示"可能不"。
考试时,如果有原因说明自己的猜测,一般应该must
can''t用而不是may
may not。如:
He can''t have stolen the money; he is not such kind of person.
Some pleasant thing must have happened to him. He is so excited.

3) 注意推测性用法中谓语动词发生的时间。

如果推测的为过去的事情,情态动词后则用完成形式。
There must have been no one in
for nobody answered the phone.
如果推测的是正在进行的事情,情态动词后则用动词的进行形式。
They must be talking about something very secret.
如果推测的是现在的状态等,情态动词后则用原形动词
He must be badly ill. He looks so pale.
如果推测的是将来发生的事情,情态动词后同样用原形动词,这时,情态动词只能是may/might。
There may be a terrible storm in the following few days.

4) 注意"情态动词+动词的完成形式"所表达的意思与题干意思是否相符。

其它"情态动词+ 动词的完成形式"并不表示推测,而分别表示:
could have done本来能够
He didn''t take part in the competition
he _______ though.
A. won B. didn''t win C. could win D. could have won
needn''t have done 本来没不要
You ________. There was plenty of time.
A. needn''t hurry B. can''t hurry
C. mustn''t have hurried D. needn''t have hurried
should/ought to have done 本来应该
You _______ me earlier. I could have helped you.
A. should tell me B. should have told
C. need to tell D. needn''t have told
shouldn''t/oughtn''t to have done 本来不应该
You ____ him so closely; you should have kept your distance.
A. shouldn''t follow B. mustn''t follow (2000.6)
C. couldn''t have been following D. shouldn''t have been following
might have done 本来应该(用来表示一种责备)
You ______ even though you were busy at that time.
A. might help him B. must have helped him
C. might have helped him D. should help him

这类题在设计干扰项时,一般都会有情态动词推测性用法的涉及,同学们应注意分词上下文的逻辑和语意关系。

5) 注意常用情态动词的基本句法和表意功能

其它常用动词的用法,如shall表示"命令"、"威胁"、"许诺"或征求许可,may/mightas well等,同学们都应多多注意其用法。

四、 倒装

倒装结构也是比较常见的一种句式,但考查的分量不大,考试都有哪些特点,如何应对,首先让我们一起来看一下近几年的考题。

1.Test Yourself.

1) I could not persuade him to accept it
___ make him see the
importance of it.(19995.1)
A. if only I could not B. no more than I could
C. or I could not D. nor could I
2) Not until the game had begun ______at the sports ground.(2000.6)
A. had he arrived B. would he have arrived
C. did he arrive C. should he have arrived
3) The organization had broken no rules

A. are freshmen permitted B. freshmen are permitted
C. permitted are freshmen D. are permitted freshmen
参考答案:
1) D 2) C 3) A 4) B 5) A

2.倒装测试范围和应对策略

倒装分部分倒装和全部倒装,但从近几年的测试来看,重点是部分倒装。对于倒装句型同学们所应注意的就是在哪些情况下需要倒装,并且如何倒装。注意下面常见的倒装条件。

1) 含有否定意味的词置于句首,主谓倒装。

同学们应注意常用否定词语,如:hardly
barely
not
seldom
little
few
nowhere
never
atno time
by no means
in no way
in no case
under no circumstances
not until
not only… but also..
neither … nor…等。如果是在从句的句首,则从句倒装,如4)题。

2) only + 状语置于句首,主谓倒装。

Only后的状语可以是单词、短语,也可以是从句,要特别注意,从句并不倒装,而是主句倒装。如:
Only when the war was over was he able to get happily back to work.

3) Neither/So置于句首倒装,表示"也/也不……",如上面的2)3)题。

4) There/here/then或做状语的地点副词和地点介词短语置于句首,要全部倒装。如:
There stands a monument in the center of the square.
Down came a light form the ceiling when he was walking across the floor.
On the hay lay a wounded boy of not more than seventeen.
5) 现在分词和过去分词可提至句首构成"分词+ be + 主语+其它+的倒装句式。如:
Enclosed in the letter was a photo of a beautiful girl.
Glooming in the test tube on the table was the mysterious something which theyhad been working so hard to find
radium.

6) so/such…. that句型中,so + 形容词/副词提前,主谓倒装。如:
So boring was the speech that the audience all left halfway.
Such a noise did they make that the neighbors could not go to sleep at night.

?????特
常用短语精解

1.to get on : (to enter
board)
to get on(搭乘,上车) 动词get的用法很多,常常在后面接用各种不同的介系词或副词而形成意义不同的习语。这里的on是介系词,后面的bus和subway用作它的受词。如果on作副词用,则有进步,相处甚好,与年事已长的意思。
(1) I always get on the bus at 34th Street.
我总是在34街搭乘公共汽车。
(2) William gets on the subway at the same station every morning.
威廉每天早晨在同一车站搭乘地下火车。

2.to get off : (to leave
descend from)
to get off (下车)与上面的get on相反。Get off也有好些其它的意义,如寄出,离开等。下车也可以用alight from或get out of a carriage或motor car
不过下电车或公共汽车多用get off .
(1) Helen got off the bus at 42nd Street.
海伦在42街下公共汽车。
(2) At what station do you usually get off the subway?
你通常在那一站下地下火车?


3.to put on: (to place on oneself-said particularly of clothes)
to put on (穿,戴)特别指穿衣服、穿鞋、戴帽、戴眼镜也用这个成语。英文中还有wear和dress二字也是穿的意思。可是wear是继续的动作,表示穿着的状态,而put on是一时的动作。下面两个句子都是错的:
I shall wear my overcoat before I go out (应用put on). In such cold weather I put on my overcoat all day (应用wear).dress的意思是
①put clothes on后面的受词一定是人,如dress a child
dress oneself
be dressed in white

②put on clothes
vk Get up and dress quickly. (快点起来穿好衣服。)
(1) Mary put on her hat and left the room.
玛丽戴上她的帽子就离开这屋子。
(2) Why is John putting on his hat and coat?
约翰为什么穿衣戴帽呢?

4.to take off : (to remove-said also of clothes)
to take off (脱去)与put on 的意义相反,指脱去衣物鞋帽.民可以用put off
但较不通用。
(1) John took off his hat as he entered the room.
约翰在这屋时脱下他的帽子。
(2) Is Helen taking off her coat because it is too warm in the room?
海伦是不是因为室内太暖和而脱去她的外衣呢?


5.to call up: (to telephone)
to call up (打电话给……)后面一定要有受词,也就是接电话的人。如果受词是代名词的话,常插在call与up 之间。
(1) I forgot to call up Mr. Jones yesterday although I promised to call him up exactly at three o’clock.
我昨天忘记打电话给钟斯先生,虽然我答应了在三点钟的时候打电话给他的。
(2) Did anyone call me up while I was out?
我出去的时候有人打电话来找我吗?

6.to turn on : (to start
begin)
to turn on (扭开,打开)指扭开电灯,电炉,电扇,煤气等的按钮或开关,以及自来水的水龙头等而言。开电灯也可以用put on the light.
(1) Please turn on the light. This room is dark.
请你扭开电灯,这房间太黑暗了。
(2) Someone turned on the radiator in this room while we were out.
我们外出时,有人把房内的电炉扭开了。

7.to turn off : (to stop
terminate extinguish)
to turn off (关闭,停止)指扭熄电灯,关闭无线电、自来水等。关灯也可以用put out the light.
(1) Please turn off the light. We do not need it now.
请把电灯关了,我们现在不需要它。
(2) Shall I turn off the radio or are you still listening to it?
我可以把收音机关掉吗,你是不是还要收听呢?

8.right away : (immediately
at once
very soon)
right away (立刻,马上)为美国口头语,没有immediately与at once正式, 系一副词片语,与right now (exactly now )的意思相仿。
(1) She says that dinner will be ready right away.
她说晚餐马上就准备好了。
(2) Can William come to my office right away?
威廉能够立刻就到我的办公室来吗?

9.to pick up : (to take-especially with fingers)
to pick up (拾起,拣起)尤指用手指把东西拿起业而言。To pick up还有很多其它的用法。如
①让人搭便车:
The motorist picked up a couple of servicemen along the highway
(这个乘汽车的人在公路上让两个军人搭乘便车。)
②听会,自然学会,(言语,游戏等):
He never studied French; what he knows he picked up while living in France.
(他从来没有学过法文;他所知道的是他住在法国的时候听会的。)
③捉住,逮捕,萍水相逢便行订交,选出:
I picked up London lastnight.
(昨晚我在无线电听到了伦敦的播音。)
(1) John Picked up the newspaper which was on his desk.
约翰把书桌上的报纸拿了起来。
(2) Why didn’t you pick up that pencil which lay on the floor?
你为什么不把地板上的那枝铅笔拾起来呢?


10.at once: (immediately
very soon
right away)
at once (立刻,马上)为一级通用的副词片语,也可以作为同时(simultaneously)解,如
This book is at once interesting and instructive.
(此书既有趣又有益。)
(1) He asked me to come to his office at once.
他请我立刻就到他的办公室去。
(2) I want you to send this telegram at once.
我希望你马上把这电报发出去。

数词

数词主要分为基数词和序数词两类。
一、 数词的分类

1. 基数词

in the year two fifty-three B.C. 在公元前253年
但是,通常采用in加表示年份的阿拉伯数字。
B. 月份,在哪个月用介词in加第一个字母大写的月份词表示。例如:in May在五月; in July在七月。为了简便起见,
月份与日期连用时,月份常用缩写形式表示。缩写形式除May,June,July外,其它的月份都由其前三个字母表示,但September除外。
January——Jan.一月 February——Feb.二月
March——Mar. 三月 April——Apr.四月
August——Aug.八月
September——Sept.九月

---------------------------

五、分数表示法


1. 分数是由基数词和序数词一起来表示的。基数词作分子,序数词作分母,除了分子是“1”以外,
其它情况下序数词都要用复数形式。

3/4 three fourths或 three quarters
1/3 one third或a third

6的10次方 the tenth power of six(six to the tenth power)

----------------------------

六 、小数表示法


1. 小数用基数词来表示,以小数点为界,小数点左首的数字为一个单位,表示整数,数字合起来读;小数点右首
的数字为一个单位,表示小数,数字分开来读;小数点读作 point,o读作 zero或o[ou],整数部分为零时,可以省略不读。
0.4 zero point four或point four 零点四
10.23 ten point two three 十点二三
25.67 twenty-five point six seven 二十五点六七
l.03 one point o three 一点零三
2. 当数字值大于1时,小数后面的名词用复数,数字值小于1时,小数后面的名词用单数。
1.03 meters 一点零三米 0.49 ton 零点四九吨
l.5 tons 一点五吨

---------------------------

七、百分数表示法


百分数用基数+percent表示
50% fifty percent   百分之五十
3% three percent   百分之三
0.12% zero point one two percent 百分之零点一二
这里的percent前半部per表示“每一”,cent这一后半部分表示“百”,所以百分之几中percent不用复数形式。

---------------------------

八、数量表示法


1. 表示长、宽、高、面积等,用基数词+单位词(meter,foot,inch,kilogram等)+ 形容词(long,wide,high等)

大学英语四级考试写作应试技巧
2001-04-11 16:51:39  英文锁定
写作的评分依据是:切题、条理、语言和字数。所谓切题就是看你写的作文是否跑题。所谓条理是指每一段的议论的正反清楚,说明的几个方面清楚,描述的时间正确。?

一、审题?

我们拿到作文后第一件事要做的就是审题。审题的作用在于使你的写作不跑题(如果跑题,条理和语言再好,也得不到及格分,甚至0分。)那么审题要审什么呢??

1. 体裁 (议论文、说明文、描述文)?

审题就是要审作文的体裁和题材。因为什么样的体裁就会用什么样的题材去写。那么体裁包括哪些呢?就四、六级考试而言,它包括议论文、说明文和描述文。从近些年来看,四、六级作文不是单一的体裁,而是几种体裁的杂合体。例如有一次四级写题是这样出的:

Directions: For this part
your are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Trying to Be A Good University Student. You should write at least 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese) below:?

(1) 做合格大学生的必要性?
(2) 做合格大学生的必备条件(可以德智体等方面谈)
(3) 我打算这样做?

很多人说这种类型的作文是议论文。我们认为说它是议论文是片面的。因为第一段要求写 “...必要性”,这说明本段体裁是议论文;第二段要求写“...必备条件”,这说明本段要求写说明文;而第三段要求写“...这样做”,说明  本段要求写的是描述文。所以我们说在大多数情况下,四、六级作文是三种体裁的杂合体。?

2.根据不同体裁确定写作方法?

我们审题的目的就在于根据不同的体裁来确定不同的写作方法。通过审题,我们可以看出四、六级作文大都是三段式。如上例第一段为议论体、第二段为说明体、第三段为描述体。议论体有议论体的写作方式、说明体有说明体的写作方式、描述体也有它自身的写作特点。第一段为议论文:它的写作特点是要有论点和论据,而且往往从正反两面来论述。例如上面题目的第一段的写作思路是:做合格大学生,会怎么样(这是从正面论述);不能做倒合格大学生,会怎么样(从反面论述);所以我们要做合格的大学生(结论)。第二段为说明文:它的写作特点是从几方面或几条来说明一个问题,就跟某一机器的说明书一样通过1、2、3说明它的用途。就以上面的作文而言,我们从三个方面(德智体)来说明做合格大学生的必要性。第三段为描述文:以“人”为中心描述一个“做”的过程。跟上两段相比,本段的主语多为人称代词。它要与第二段相呼应进行描述。?

二、主题句?

通过审题,我们知道了写作的思路。下边我们就谈怎么样写。第一步就是要写主题句。主题句是确保不跑题的前提,只有不跑题才有可能得及格分。写主题句最保险的方法就是把各要求句译成英语。例如上述作文的三段主题句分别为:?

☆ It is very necessary to be a good university student.(议论体主题句)?

☆ There are several respects of necessities to be a good university student.(说明体的主题句)?

☆ What I will do in the future is the following.(描述题的主题句)?

如果要求句是英语就可以把它扩充成主题句,例如这样的一篇做文:?

Good Health?

(1) Importance of good health?
(2) Ways to keep fit?
(3) My own practice?

这样的作文的要求句就可以扩展成主题句。扩展后三段的主题句分别为:?

☆ It is very important to have good health. (将名词importance变成形容词important)
☆ There are four ways to keep fit for me.(用there be句型)?
☆ My own practices are the following.(采用原词)?

三、条理?

保证不跑题是写作当中第一重要任务,第二个重要任务就是条理清楚。对于议论文来说,正反面要清楚。对于说明文来说,1、2、3条要清楚,对于描述文要来,谁干什么要清楚。就拿上例Good Health来说,第一段保持正反面要清楚就应这样写:主题句(It is very important to have good health.
正面(With good health
we can...)
反面(Without good health
we can do nothing. We can''t do...)?

第二段应当这样写:主题句(There are four ways to keep fit.) 从几方面说明: Firstly
we should have our breakfast in the morning. Second
we should have a nap at noon. Third
sports exercises are necessary in the afternoon. And fourth
we could have a pleasant feeling in the evening by listening to the music....)?

为了使文章更具关于条理性,我们可以用first(ly)
second(ly)
third(ly)等副词,他们可以使文章的条理性十分突出。作文是主观性题,要想得高分我们必须把评卷老师考虑进去。评卷老师的时间很短(每份卷子的作文只有一两分钟就要阅完),所以我们在列条条时最好不用:To begin with
... After that
... And then
... The next
... The following
... At last ...。因为用这样的词语不利于阅卷老师看出你作文的条理性。?

第三段应当这样写:主题句(My own practices are the following.)具体情况(主语为第一人称代词I,与第二段呼应) In the morning
I have my breakfast . At noon
I have a nap. And in the afternoon
I always play football. In the evening
I usually listen to the classic music.?

综上所述,如果我们按以上几节的方法去做,就可以保证及格以上分数。?

四、 十二句作文法?

在作文的评分标准中字数也是一个要求。四、六级的作文要求是要写出120-150字。对于这样的要求考生不必怕写不够。我们知道,四、六级作文大都是三段式。我们算一下,如果我们在每一段中写上四句话,即主题句加两三句扩展句和一个结论句就可以了。这样全篇在十二句左右。每一句十多个词,这样就是120-150字。同时,我们也提醒大家,不能写得太多,写得多容易跑题。在写作时,我们要横向写作,即写某一问题的横段面。例如,上面讲到健康的重要性时,我们只写四句就可以了。第一句主题句,第二句从正面论述,第三句从反面论述,第四句为结论句。但有的同学在写的时候说“健康非常重要,”然后就写“吃波莱非常重要”,因为波菜含有丰富的铁,铁对人是非常重要的,因为...。这样的作文的基本模式是A-B B-C C-D D-E以此类推。这就叫流水账,没有中心。我们写作时要根据横段面去写,而不要写成流水账。避免写成流水账的方法是不要就前一句中的一个非重点词再进行描述。而要对主题句从横段面去写,写完一个横段面就不要再对这一横段面进行阐述了,应当去写别一个横段面。?

如果我们感觉字数不够,就在每一句或某些句子上添加些词词就行了。例如我们感觉上边第二段不够长,就可以这样来加词:?

主题句There are four ways to keep fit.- There are four or more ways to keep fit for everyone of us. 从几方面说明: Firstly
we should have our breakfast in the morning.- Firstly
we should have our breakfast
such as milk
eggs
bread and so on
in the morning. Second
we should have a nap at noon.- Secondly
we should have a short nap
even 30 minutes
at noon. Third
sports exercises are necessary in the afternoon. - Thirdly
sports exercises are necessary for everyone and we can do some sports exercises in the afternoon. And fourth
we could have a pleasant feeling in the evening by listening to music. - And fourthly
we could have a pleasant feeling in the evening by listening to both popular and classic music. ?

这样一来,我们只要保持本句的主题不变加添一些次要词就能达到字数的规定标准。(作者:王长喜 )
