《高时》共4篇阅读篇章。 文章篇幅平均400字/篇
两门试题中各有一篇选自教材,其余选自课外
课外的篇章中生僻单词标注了中文含义,课内的文章没有任何中文注解
关于选自课内的文章,下面列举的页码必须搞懂搞透彻(不仅仅为了阅读题,也为了听力、口试和写作题积累语言!):
高职:P77;P103;P210;P222(注意对应听力材料) 高时:P7(Mass Media定义);P201;P263;P284
阅读题题型分析和答题建议:
1)事实题:题干里提到什么,就到原文里含有这些文字的句子周围找答案,这样做快且准;
2) 词汇题:利用上下文语境、定义解释,如that is, namely, which is, ?is called; 标点,常识,举例,同义词、反义词、同位语、词缀等;
3)判断题:要求理解文中未被直接表达的观点、内容,e.g.作者的态度、情绪。 Tips: 作者的态度与文章的中心思想是一致的。 注意:
A. 题目表述中有无all, never 等绝对意义的词,因为这种说法往往都是错误的; B 事实题注意细节:究竟多少?具体在什么地方?
C当心题干中否定或排他意义的词,以免回答反了,如not, except, but,
D 注意not mentioned(在要求判断的10个句子中,属于这种的一般不多,应在数量上控制。) 4)主旨题: 要求概括出文章的中心思想,题干中往往有关键词如main idea, major point, mainly deals with, purpose of the article, the best title等。
Tips: 建议把各小段的主题合起来;注意表转折、让步的专承连词及句式,因为专承、让步的主句通常是作者要强调的部分;通过具体的例子、统计数字及引语等论据进行判断。
5)简答题: 注意言简意赅,同时必须给的几个点或因素也不能少。 一定不要只是机械地把文中文字抄下来,要总结核心意思。
6) 排序题
段落排顺对很多同学而言都是非常棘手的题项。
该题主要考察对篇章结构和内部逻辑的判断和领悟能力。所以在做这类考题时,一定要先仔细地阅读全文,特别要关注每个段落的起始句和终结句,因为它们往往起着承上启下的作用,从中可以判断与该段相关的上一段落和下一段落的大致内容。

另外,英语文章一般会遵从一定的逻辑关系,如时间顺序、空间顺序、因果顺序等等。考试中出现最多的是论述文,此类文章的内部逻辑往往是指出问题、描述问题、分析原因、提出建议或得出结论。只要按照某种逻辑关系去排列段落,你一定会感到原先棘手的题项也变得迎刃而解了。
为了提高对文章逻辑关系的领悟与把握,建议在平时的学习中可以做如下练习:复印或打印一篇未读的英语文章,用剪刀按照段落将其剪开,并将顺序打乱,然后在规定的时间内将段落重新拼接在一起,最后与原文对照。文章的字数、难度和完成的时间可以参考该门课程终结考试的样题。
3. Section III. Writing:满分: 25分 评分标准:书写2;语言13;内容10
写作考试的题目或与课程中某一个单元主题相关,或与某一单元中写作练习的体裁相关,所以认真对待每单元的写作作业和老师的评语就显得尤其重要。
就学生以往考试中的表现来看,主要问题依然集中在内容和语言两方面。
虽然题项说明中已经提示了作文应包括的要点,有些同学也按照要求逐点分段来写,但在每段的论述中,内容空洞单薄,缺乏具体的实例支持论点。段落内部的语句之间也缺乏清楚的逻辑关系。
语言层面的问题主要为: 1) 选词不当: 例如,“引人注意”的英语对应词可以是“to catch people’s attention”, 但如果用 “to arouse public concern”就不合适了,因为它的中文含义是“引起公众的关注或担忧”。同样,“炫耀”用 “to show off”来对应就比用 “to promote”更合适; 2) 句型混乱:
主要表现在各个从句之间仅用逗号连接,而没有按照语法规则使用恰当的连词或关系代词衔接。
针对上述问题,建议同学们在进行英文写作时,要按照英语的行文习惯来组织内容,即每个段落用主题句指明论点,用例子支持或解释阐明论点,并以结论句结尾,回应或强调段首的论点。还有就是在平时的学习中留心单词和短语的用法和新颖的句型,避免作文时感到“巧妇难为无米之炊”。
建议:
1)首先看清体裁:书信、简历、叙述、继续、议论文? 2) 书信、简历:注意格式
3)议论体裁的作文一定要写thesis statement,表明自己的立场、观点,这样结构显得较清晰。
注意: 规定使用的词汇少于8个的每个扣0.5分。

四、单元重点汇总
复习之前,建议先把握这门课程的单元重点,因为课程终结考试就是围绕这些要点来出题的。这个复习要点资源提炼出了课程各个单元的重点词汇、词组/句型和文化知识点,强烈建议你结合上下文来掌握这些词汇、句型结构的用法,而不是孤立地、机械地去背单词、记短语。
