Toefl词汇的记忆方法精汇





对于准备靠考TOEFL的同学来说,记单词是最头痛的一件事。在学外语所花费的时间中,记单词占的比重最大。相对于语法而言,词汇的记忆量约占90%。因此,根据记忆的科学规律来研究高效率的外语单词学习方法具有重要的意义。



一、黑白循环记忆法



黑白循环记忆法的核心意义是通过对大纲规定的词汇进行分类,找出记忆重点,排除非核心词汇的干扰,通过对不同级别单词的先后记忆,最终达到全部掌握单词的目的。



本记忆法规定,如果考生对某一单词,能说出它的所有汉语意思和用法,那么本单词对他来说就是白词。如果能说出它的部分意思,就把定义为灰词;如果不能够说出它的任何意思和用法,就把她定义为黑词。



记忆的顺序是先记忆灰词,将全部灰词转化为白词。消灭了灰词后,就开始记忆黑词,经过一段时间的记忆,一部分黑词就可能转化为白词,另一部分变成了灰词。在以后的记忆中,黑词不断地变为灰词,灰词不断地变成白词,最终所有词汇都变成白词。这是第一层面上的循环。



另一个层次上的循环是,在记忆灰词和黑词时,可以将单词按一定的标准分组,规定第一天记忆第一组,第二天记忆第二组,第三天记忆第三组,复习第一组,第四天记第四组复习第二组,依次循环,达到边记忆边复习的目的。



这种单词记忆的好处是学习者始终知道自己的学习任务和学习效果。有关黑白词汇的记忆的具体方法,大家可以参看我们的《大学英语词汇黑白记忆法》。



二、词根、词缀记忆法



黑白循环记忆法解决的是四级词汇的宏观记忆方法,而词根词缀记忆法解决的是词汇微观记忆问题。它的特点是充分利用单词的构词规律,通过掌握一组单词的共同词根或词缀,达到成串记忆单词的目的。比如知道 able,abil 的意思是capable 能,就可以知道able,enable,unable,ability,capable等都是和能力和才干有关系的;如果知道act=to do,to drive做,干,驱动那么记忆act,action,actor,actress,active ,activity,activate,actual,exact,reactor,interact,transaction等就非常简单了。 知道了part=to separate的意思是分离,分开更可以记住一长串单词: parcel,park,partly,partial,partner,party,participate,participant,particle,particular,apart, apartment,department,compartment,depart,part,partion 。类似的词根还有很多。在这里我们仅举几例,有关大学英语 的词根,词缀记忆的方法,大家可以参看我们的《大学英语词汇词根、词缀记忆法》一书。



advan=forward在前,向前;add=to put to加上;aer=air,space空气,天空,太空;ag=to do,to move,to conduct做,搅动,引导;alter= to change 改变;ampl=large,spacious宽,大;ann,enn=year年;art=skill技艺;cur(e),sur(e)-=care操心,关注,安全,照看,医治;dic,dit=to speak讲,说;form,forma=,format=shape,figure形成,模式。



除了词根以外,英语单词当中还有很多词缀(包括前缀,后缀),这些前缀和后缀在单词当中出现得非常频繁。记住了这些单词的前缀和后缀再加上词根的帮助,记忆单词绝不是一件无序的事情,而是一件有众多规律可循的事情。也就是说,掌握了词根,词缀记忆法之后,我们所记忆的单词量不再是4200个,而可能是1000个左右,甚至可能更少。



这种记忆方法的优点是,可以充分利用单词之间的形式和意义联系,对大量的词汇进行模糊记忆,这里的模糊是指,只要知道某个单词中包含有某个认识的词根或词缀,就可以大致知道该次词的大致意义或词性,从而大大提高阅读理解能力。相应地,在做词汇题或阅读理解中的上下文中词汇题时,也能根据词根、词缀做出正确的判断。



三、全息记忆法



所谓的全息记忆法就是利用单词的有效记忆原理之一的 “意群记忆原理”来记忆单词。记忆科学研究证明如果单个记忆单词既累又不能长时间地巩固。只要将单词按一定的意义联系组合起来记忆,效果会大大地提高。全息记忆法可以按马克思主义原理对于物质的分类方法把四级大纲上的词汇分成“物质世界”,“人类社会”和“科学思维”三个大类。“物质世界”又可细分为“无生命物质”和“有生命物质”。“无生命无物质”可以包含物质的最小成分(atom,particle)到宇宙大空间(universe,solar,lunar);“有生命物质”可以包括构成生命的最小单位基因(protein,gen,cell),低级的水生生物(fish,shellfish)到爬行(reptile,insect) 再到飞行动物(bird),哺乳动物(mammal),猿(monkey,)和人(human being) 。 在“人类社会”这一概念下的上层建筑就可以包含皇家(royalty,dynasty,dictator),贵族(nobleman,landlord),政府(government,official administrate),选举(election,vote),立法(congress,assembly,legslative),动荡(disorder,uprising,revolution) ,警察(police officer) ,监狱(gail,prison),武装(army,armed forces),战争(war,weapon,surrender,defeat,victory),和平(peace,treaty)。 以上所列举的都是按一定的名词概念进行的分类,在实际操作中只要是和这些概念和意义有关的名词,动词及其短语,形容词和副词等都可以一并记忆。



这种记忆方法的优点在于学习者可以随时随地根据某一信息联想记忆单词。 比如: 一个人骑车走在街上就可以联想到 bicycle,truck,car,vehicle,bus,traffic (jam,light),rush hours,highway,freeway,zebra,lines,cement,sidewalk,underpass,fine,road,passenger,shops,fence等词。 又如: 我们到医院能想到hospital,doctor,nurse,ward,medicine,cure,treatment,injection,illness,clinic,等等。



本记忆法的另一个优点是能突出一些常见单词的不常用的意义,因为多义词的不同意思可能被归入不同的意群当中。 比如: resource可以归入三个意群当中,它与substance,nature 等放在一起表示“物质资源”;与method,approach 放在一起表示“办法”;与wit放在一起表示“智谋”和“应变之才” 。



四、其他记忆方法



坦率地讲,只要有利于单词的记忆,大家可以想尽一切办法来记忆,有时,甚至可以忽略它们有无科学道理。下面我们就向大家再介绍几种有效的词汇记忆方法,供参考。 同学们也可以在学习单词当中,自己有意识地总结,探索出对自己来说行之有效的单词记忆方法。 但是,一旦你找到了好的方法,请一定不要忘记了和大家一起分享。



1. 基本义联想法

这种方法利用多义单词的意义扩展规律,首先抓住单词最基本的意思,然后根据其他词义与基本义的联系来轻松地记忆单词。 比如: 我们知道immediate(ly)的基本意思是“中间没有间隔地”就可以较容易地记住它的三个意思: 1) (时间)立刻;2)(空间)紧挨,紧接,紧跟;3) (关系)直接。



2. 形义联想法

这种方法的做法是找出单词之间形状和意义的共同特点,利用他们的共同特点展开记忆。

比如我们对 ball,ballet,balloon,ballot,bullet等几个词就可以做这样的联想记忆。,即他们都和球有着意义是上的联系。balloon是体积较大的气球,ballot是用来投票的纸球,bullet是体积较小的金属球。 再比如: brace(支柱,支架),bracket(托架,括号) brake(闸,刹车),branch(分叉,树枝) 等几个词当中都包含了br,而它像张开两手向前作“抱”的姿势。 这几个单词的汉语意思当中也都包含一个,抱或托的形象。



3. 趣味造句法

此方法是用一个有趣的句子 将一组词串起来。比如 baby,bachelor,bacon,bad,badly,bacteria,balance 等几个词在拼写和意义上都没有什么联系,我们可以通过一个例子将它们贯穿。A bachelor without a baby lost his balance and fell ill badly because he has some bad bacon with bacteria,and was awarded a badge。 一个没有孩子的单身汉身子失去了平衡,结果病得很厉害,因为他吃了一些带菌的熏肉,并被授予一枚勋章。

这个句子荒诞离奇,但却巧妙地将所有地连在一起,而且它还体现了各个单词的用法,由于单词大多以同一个字母开头,因此具有头韵的效果,读起来朗朗上口。



4. 巧用单词之间的共同成分,由熟悉的单词记忆新单词。

如: 由east 我们可以扩展记忆 beast(野兽),feast(盛宴),yeast(硝母);由obtain(获得),contain(包含),maintain(维持),sustain(支持),retain(保留) 。



5. 分割记忆联想

本方法就是把一个单词分成几个单词或部分,利用它们之间的意义进行联想 从而达到形象记忆的效果。比如,charisma (领导人的超凡魅力)可以这样拆分记忆: cha可以看作China,ris,ma 可以看作是rise,Mao 连起来就是China rises Mao。(中国升起了毛泽东)------做为领袖毛泽东具有超凡的魅力。



记单词重在反复,我们介绍的记忆方法都是建立在反复记忆的基础上。比如今天背50个单词用了30分钟,明天复习一下只要几分钟,再过一个星期复习时也只需几分钟,复习的时间间隔逐渐延长,单词就记得越牢。相反,你今天记了100个单词,过了十天在看时又等于重新记生词。

TOEFL如何做阅读题 ZT



阅读理解部分是TOEFL考试的第四部分,这一部分考试时间为55分钟,阅读长度为350词左右的文章5篇,做50道含四个选项 的客观题。从题型看,TOEFL阅读的特点是题量大,涉及的词汇面广;从题目顺序来看,阅读放在最后。一般来说,在做完写作,听力,语法三部分之后,考生已经开始感到有些疲倦。要想考好阅读,不光要凭扎实的英语基础,而且还要讲求做题策略。如何避免做题的误区,如何读好每一篇文章,如何合理安排考场时间,如何答好每一道题,这些都是每个考生十分关心的问题。笔者在长期的TOEFL 教学中总结出了一些经验,在此愿意介绍给广大考生。



一、做题的误区



考生做TOEFL阅读时,时常表现出一些不良的做题习惯。有些考生读文章时喜欢在试题上划线,似乎不做记号,阅读就无法进行,思绪就停止了活动。而考生在试题的任何一部分做任何标志记号。



有些考生文章根本不读完,直接做题。这种方法相当于瞎子摸象,对文章的概念无法获得。要提问的题量有所增加。所以,不看文章直接做题的方法是极其危险的。



有些考生则喜欢把文章一字不漏地细读之后在做题。这种方法仅适合于两种情况,其一,考生已具备相当的阅读水平,长期以来运用这种方法效果甚佳;其二,某一篇具体的文章是考生所熟悉的内容,细读文章并不应该忘记,阅读理解测试速度和理解两个方面。 在做词汇题时,许多考生认为做不对题与自己的词汇量有关,认识的单词能做对,不认识的单词就会做错。事实上,那些认识的单词经常就会做错,不认识的单词就会做错。事实上,那些认识的单词经常做错,不认识的单词反而能做对。原因是,做不认识的单词时,忽略上下文,便匆匆做出抉择。所以,做好词汇的关键在于透彻分析上下文─词汇题的句子以及上下一句话,有时候,个别词汇题也许需要在文章其他段落寻找线索。



另一个问题是如何检查答案。有想当多的考生做完题之后,或多或少剩下一些时间,但不能有效利用。有的考生东看一篇文章,西看一道题,似乎在检查,却没有明确的目标,有时候把正确的答案改错。我们认为里在富裕的时间,考生应重点检查两类题:一类是个别的理解题;另一类是个别词汇题。阅读有时后是一种不可思议的行为,有时候,你的脑子会因断电而僵在某一个点上,不会有任何收获,但是当你放下这个难点,做完别的题后再回过头来处理这个难题时,一下子又变得畅通无阻。如果出现这种情况,考生可以在答题纸上题的序号旁标记这个难题,先预选答案,待有时间时在仔细推敲。检查完务必将序号旁的记号擦掉。



二、读文章的方法 读文章一般分为两个步骤:



第一步:花两三分钟时间扫描每篇文章头一两个句子,定位文章难易程度。虽然平均每篇文章做题时间为11分钟,答案是有的文章需要15分钟左右。一般来说,5篇文章中有两篇难度较大,比方说,如果最后一篇文章难度较大,且有12~14道题,在这种情况下,按部就班做题就有可能因时间不够而做错好多道题,带来巨大的损失。因此首先定位文章难易程度,同时目测文章的含金量(既题量分布),有助于科学分配阅读部分的做题时间。



第二步:采取“结构扫描”法分配阅读具体一篇文章。所谓结构,既文章的骨架。TOEFL文章是纯学术体Acasemic,是■■■■留学生在大学里天天都能接触到的教科书风格的文章,这些文章涉及人文社科和自然段组成,正确的阅读文章的方法应该是把文章受句先吃透,文章首句经常为文章主题。然后把首段的其他句子尽快略读,文章其他段落采取同样的方法阅读。各段落其他句子一般来说都是用来说明各个段落的主题句,没有必要每个句子都彻底看个明白。有时候,段落中个别句子理解难度大,而不涉及考题,在此句停留无疑是白百浪费时间。所以,采取“结构扫描”法,意味着以最快捷的方式了解文章大从而正确引导下一步做具体的题,而不至于出现大方向的理解错误。



三、答题的方法



1.做题总则:



文章大致看完之后,才能开始做题。做题时,应牢记以下几点:



① 每篇文章的题目基本上根据文章布局一步一步向前推进,即使有个别题打乱文章布局,在题干里总是有提供信息的关键词将考生带入文章的具体部位。



② 做题时,根据题干或选项的关键词回归文章寻找重现关键词或其释义的语言区域,透彻理解,同时排除相应的选项。



③ 解题遇到难句时,最直接有效的方法就是对其进行句子结构分析,迅速把握整个句子的意思,不要盯着单个词不放,不然就会因小失大。



④ 每个问题的四个选项或者是对文章中相关部分的正确释义,或者是歪曲原文,或者与原文毫不相关。换句话说,命题专家在设置试题时会玩一些文字游戏,用各种表达形式让考生昏头转向,雾里看花。考生应该明白自己的职责是辨别真伪,找到符合文章意思和题意的选项。换句话说,考生在答题时不能有参与意识,有些考生做错题就是因为带上了自己的偏见,以次我们要时刻牢记一点:答案永远是根据文章内容答题,应该排除文章以外的任何干扰因素。读者毕竟不是作者。



2.区别对待几种题:



① 主旨题。主旨题有三种:A、作者的意图;B、文章的标题;C、文章的中心思想。这种题一般为第一道题,建议考生把这道题放在最后做,因为做其他题时,考生会逐步了解文章的各个细节,在做题的过程中就会对文章有个总的理解,最后处理主旨题可谓水到渠成,万无一失。



② 举题。列举题有两种:A、一正三误;B、三正一误。也可分为四类。第一类:一句话列举。根据某个选项的语言提示,回归文章找到一句话,这句话含三个选项的内容;第二类:局部列举。根据题意,回归文章发现连续两三句话涉及三个选项的内容;第三类:段落列举。题干语言在某一自然段首句重现。这个句子为段落主题句,即三个选项的内容在这一段出现,不涉及到其他段落;第四类:文章列举。选项内容涉及整个文章。一句话列举题和段落列举题有明显的信号词帮助答题,根据题序做题,不必区别对待。文章列举题和局部列举题则应放在其他题做完之后在处理。



③ 文章结论题。文章结论题即根据文章可以推断出下面哪个选项的结论是正确的,题干没有任何语言信号词。这种题有以下几种布局:为文章第一道题时,相当于文章主旨题,应放在最后解答;放在中间时,基本上针对中间部分;放在最后一道题时,有可能针对文章最后部分,也有可能针对整篇文章,但不大可能涉及文章其他部分的细节。所以文章结论题应该具体情况具体分析,并不一定是面对整个文章。



④ 作者态度题。作者态度题分为两种:A、局部作者态度题;B、整体作者态度题。文章最后一道题问及作者态度时为整体作者态度题,它涉及通篇文章,要根据整个文章数个语言点串起来的一根主线答题,也就是作者行文的口气。考生千万不可以根据某一个语言点答题,因为整体作者态度题不是考核某一个点,而是考整体感觉。局部作者态度题位置比较灵活,往往问及作者对文章中某一个具体内容的看法,题干通常有信号词将考生带回文章某一区域,考查考生对某个语言点的理解。有时候,某个选项从读者的角度来看是正确的,但是却与作者的表达向悖,因此,做作者态度题时,考生一定注意不要把自己作为读者的分析、观点强加于作者。



⑤ 文章结构题。文章结构题有三种:A、文章前面的段落内容是什么?B、文章下面接着将要讲什么?C、文章的组织结构是什么?推断文章前面的内容立足于文章首句,因为文章首句承上启下,尤其注意首句中诸如this, so, other than之类的结构词。预测下文的内容则分两步走:第一、读文章末句,文章末句承上启下;第二、读文章每段首句表示文章内容的逻辑走向。如果文章讲述某一事物的两个阶段或方面,下文将介绍这一事物的第三个阶段或方面。我们把预测下文内容的题称之为坐标题,即竖看文章每段首句,横看文章最后一句,其他句子是文章所讲内容,而不是下面将要讲的内容,往往选项干扰来自于文章所讲内容。至于文章的组织结构题,只需要读文章每段首句即可,因为这些句子是文章的框架。



以上五种题基本上都涉及整个文章,如果考生对这些题的规律及对策没有较清楚的认识,就会在做这些题时耗费大量的时间,甚至影响做其他题的情绪。



TOEFL主要是考查非英语国家的留学生是否具备一定的英语知识和实际运用能力以适应北美高校的学业要求,所以试卷内容和文体的学术性比较突出。这就决定了考生在应TOEFL阅读理解部分时应遵循其自身的规律而采取有效的策略。上面是本人多年来教学与研究的一些体会,希望对广大考生能起到一定的指导作用。最后预祝大家考试取得优异成绩!

TOEFL听力技巧 TOEFL自从改为机考以后,形式上改变巨大,从原来的事先可以读题到现在的先听再做,从以前每题规定12秒到现在的可以一定程度上自己分配时间;而本质性的变化在于内容的重心有所转移,使许多考生措手不及,感觉TOEFL听力难度陡然上升。笔试中,60%的内容都是考生们觉得较容易拿分的短对话;而在机试中,80%以上的内容是考生们非常头疼的段子题。由于缺乏对与LECTURE和LONG CONVERSATION的足够重视和正确的训练方法,许多考生的TOEFL栽在听力上。

我们通常把段子分为:LECTURE(一个人的讲话)和LONG CONVERSATION(两个人甚至更多人的长对话)。我们在本篇著重讲LECTURE,下篇著重讲LONG CONVERSATION。



LECTURE题型



LECTURE一般是大学教授的一段讲课。它是TOEFL听力中最难的部分,因为它牵扯到专业知识和专业词汇,并且信息量大,重点不易突出,句型冗长复杂。按内容来分,可分为文科专业段和理科专业段;按形式分,可分为纯专业段子和复合型专业段子。



复合型段子是指生活场景加上专业内容。针对这种文章,我们可以根据文章结构和题型来入手,分成几类。



(1)Topic题型



考的几率90%以上。一般答案出现在文章的开头一两句话,以自我介绍或开门见山的形式出现。

自我介绍,如:“I am Angela Whittier, the house director here in the university.”

开门见山,如:“Today I am going to talk about/discuss…”

出现的问题一般是带有discuss、topic、mainly等字眼的,如:“What is the topic of the talk?/What does the lecture mainly discuss?”



解题技巧:听首句话的开头原词,注意留心开头一两句话的核心的名词性词组,往往出现在discuss、talk about之后。如没有开头原词,那么就听整个段子中重复率最高的词或词组,这一定是文章的中心所在。此种题难度不大,考生一定要做对。



(2)尾巴题型



考的几率不大,难度也不大。其特征是出现在文章的结尾处。有时会有尾标,如next、all in all、finally、in conclusion、in one word、eventually和at last等等。有时是结论性的内容,有时是某个细节。



解题技巧:可根据尾标来判断是结尾,然后记住最后的一两句话。



(3)细节性题型



形式多样,无固定的模式,一般出现在文章的中间部分。难度较大,数量较多。



解题技巧:凡是和中心思想一致的答案很可能是正确答案。听文章时,注意文中语气强烈之处,如重读、慢读、停顿、拉长音等。注意一些标志词,如:however、nonetheless、moreover、so remember、first和only等。



专业类段子



纯专业段子难度超过复合型段子,原因在於对内容的理解。由于其它的技巧在此用处不大,所以,熟悉专业知识和专业内规律性的东西是最有效的办法。由于篇幅所限,我们将以几种典型的文理科段子为例。



(1)艺术史



包括音乐史、舞蹈史、摄影史和绘画史等,此类文章会出现历史发展中新的、旧的碰撞。



记住常用的词汇:choreography、technique、rhythm、improvisation、artistic integrity、creative、unique、photography、sculpture、self-expression、painting、intuitive feeling、features、characteristics、rigid、flexible、classical、contemporary和theme等。



基本原则是:旧的艺术形式往往是rigid、formal、based on training、take form seriously、follow the rules;新的艺术形式往往是free、flexible、based on intuitive、improvisation、self-expression、creativity和uniqueness等。



常见的问题有:旧的disadvantages和新的advantages,新的为什么一开始遭批评,而后能become popular。



(2)殖民史



记住常用的词汇:Native American、Inuit、colony、colonial government、corn、thanksgiving、domesticate、cultivation、productive、civilization、caribou、head-hunter、spear、archaeology、anthropology、food supply和artifacts等。



基本原则是:native Americans和Inuit是如何的落后、愚昧、无知和野蛮;白人给他们带去了先进的技术和现代文明。对于殖民史,TOEFL的论调不像中国人那样深恶痛绝,而是觉得那是一场冒险的经历,绝不会出现人口灭绝的话题。



(3)海洋生物学



记住常用的词汇:marine biology、evolution、innovation、aquarium、electric fish、habitat、dwell、deep sea creature、curve、adapt oneself to、streamline、shellfish、lobster和octopus等。



固定思路是:谈及动物和人的关系时,人总是破坏自然和动物的生活规律,直接或间接地导致动物的减少。谈及动物和其环境的关系时,两者是互动的。动物的一系列特征及生活习性是为了适应其环境;而环境则塑造了动物的特性。



常见问题有:人对于动物及环境的影响,环境对动物的影响,动物对于环境的适应。



(4)新话题:能源、环保

TOEFL听力中的另一个重点是long conversation。与lecture相比,long conversation更口语化,与校园生活联系更加紧密,涉及到的专业知识较少,即使涉及到专业知识,考的内容也比较简单。根据场景的不同,本文把它们分成两大类:学习类与学习以外类。下面着重讲一下每一大类中几个典型小类的特点及解题技巧。



学习类



学习类是长对话的重点。它们粗略可分为事项性介绍、选课类、补课类和论文场景类等内容。



◆事项性介绍

特点:难度小,常考调课事宜及考试安排等。

常出现的题目和固定性答案



Q:Who is the speaker?

A:teacher/ professor/ instructor/ advisor

Q:When does the talk take place?

A:at the beginning/ in the middle/ at the end of the semester

Q:Where does the talk take place?

A:classroom/ lecture hall

Q:What is the topic?

A:changes in the schedule/ the schedule of this semester/ exam schedule/ information about one course



注意记忆以下词汇

midterm、finals、count for 50% of your score、class discussion、seminar、workshop、take attendance、elementary、intermediate、advanced等。



◆选课类

特点:师生之间或学生之间谈论选课的话题。

涉及的内容:学生是否有资格选某一门课,对于老师的谈论,课程的难易程度,选某一门课的好处和坏处。

固定思路:学生觉得课程太难,负荷太重。

常用词:required/compulsory、elective/selective/optional、course description、catalog、bulletin、prerequisite、preliminary course、such a heavy load、excellent reputation、drop a course等。



◆补课类

特点:通常是某学生因为某些原因迟到或旷课了,事后找另一个同学补课,所以必会牵扯到专业内容。

固定思路:迟到或旷课的学生一定是男生,帮他补课的一定是女生。男生在补课过程中常会问一些蠢问题,而女生将一一澄清。结尾处,男生会感叹不上这堂课真可惜。



常问问题及解答

Q:Why was the man late for class?/ Why did the man ask the woman about the lecture?

A:He overslept/ was sick/ had some trouble with his car/ had to go to see the doctor/dentist/ had an emergency.

Q:What confused the man?

A:专业性内容

Q:What does the man promise to do at last?

A: He won’t be late again/ oversleep again.

常用词、词组或语句:fill sb. in、You lost me there、make sense、miss a pretty important class、clarify the misunderstanding、check the notes、This certainly teaches me not to oversleep again。



◆论文场景

固定思路:论文的题目难定,资料太难查(题目太偏,查不到资料;题目太大,要查的资料太多,太杂)。

常用单词或词组:explore the topic、published resources、bibliography/reference、intellectual dishonesty、plagiarism、get an early start和gather materials等。



学习以外类



可以细分为体育场景、娱乐场景、打工场景和租房场景等。



◆体育场景

特点:较少考很传统的运动,较多考现在北美热门的运动,如cycling、rock climbing和skiing。

固定思路:目的不在于比赛,而是好玩、健身、交友。一些运动,如cycling,是以team、club 或association的形式存在的。

[U]常用单词或词组[U]:ski、boots、pole、outdoors、get in great shape、ensure the safety、first aid、check the trails、physical education、belts、patience、mental discipline、expert riders、starting line、stamina和relay station等。



◆娱乐场景

特点:包括郊游,参加运动,听音乐会,及谈论玩的计划等。

固定思路:一般说到玩,常见的项目有go on a picnic、hiking trip、camping trip、go to a concert、see a movie、play the ball、ski和traveling等。

常用单词、词组或语句:I am counting the days、Take a break、relax、reserve a court、a night-out、take your mind off your test和fair weather等。



◆打工场景

常考的内容:对于某种工作的态度和评价,应聘该工作的条件,打工的手续,工作的待遇和工作环境及时间等。

在校学生打工的工种:teaching assistant、research assistant、lab assistant、administrative assistant、waiter、waitress、nanny/babysitter、dishwashing和oods delivery等。

常用单词或词组:formalities、application procedure、reference、salary、wage、demand physical endurance、pre-career training、permanent employment、stipend、bonus和part-time job等。



◆租房场景

常考的内容:和室友及房东之间的相处;房子的条件较差,经常出毛病;找房子,租房子的过程。

要记住的词组及句型:roommate、dormitory、deposit、live on/off campus、utilities、heating costs、temporary accommodation、landlord、apartment、sublet、dishwasher、vacuum cleaner、messy、a leaky faucet、This place is a dump/mess、tenant、afford和spacious等。



TOEFL听力考试的原则



最后,给大家介绍几个在做题中总结出来的原则,对于听力水平不够的考生,在考试临场时很有帮助。



◆割肉原则

机试中的15分钟(只包括做题的时间)可由考生自由支配。与笔试比较,确实增加了自由度,但有些考生反尔放松了对时间的警惕。考试中一定要对全局有把握,不要在某一题上纠缠不清,延误时间。因此,特别是对于又偏又难的题目,该割肉的地方一定要割。



◆重复原则

大家留心一下可以发现,文中重要的内容、容易考到的内容,一般都会有重复现象;所以,考生总是听到的词也正是文章著力强调的词。



◆强调原则

除了重复一种强调方式以外,还有其它多种强调方式在原文中有所体现。

语音强调:答案所在处往往是speaker重读、慢读、停顿,或拉长音的地方。

标志词:一些含有转折、递进、总结和比较等意味的词标志着附近有重要内容出现,如however、nonetheless、furthermore、moreover、therefore、in conclusion、best、better、only、first、so remember…,以及most notably等。



◆顺序原则

出题的顺序和答案在原文中出现的顺序保持一致。此原则可帮助考生凭借答案在文中的位置来解题。



◆一义一用原则

一个知识点在题目中只会出现一次。此原则可帮助考生排除非正确选项。如在一题中某个选项是上题的正确答案,那么,此选项是本题正确选项的可能性就很小。



最后,希望大家记住一点,以上所有技巧和原则都不是100%正确。它们都是在考生不能完全凭自己的水平选出正确答案的情况下所使用的;所以,通过TOEFL听力考试的根本办法是多练多听,努力提高自己的听力水平。

Domingo antipatico

现在在准备考托福的学生中流传着一种说法,今年托福考试将由现在的纸笔化考试改成计算机化考试(COMPUTER-BASEDTEST),出于对机考的陌生,不少考生希望赶在机考推行前考完托福,今年参加托福考试人数从往年的6、7万猛增至近10万,一些人为了领一张托福考试的报名表竟然通宵排队。北京教育部国家考试中心称目前美国ETS方面并没有正式决定在中国大陆推行机考的具体时间,不过此消息给中国学子还是造成了一定的影响。



机考难道真的那么可怕?它和传统纸笔考试有什么不一样哪?北京新东方学校听力口语培训部主任,著名托福听力和电影听说教学专家邱政政解释说,机考绝对不难,人们对它的害怕源自陌生。



托福机考的五大特性



1.数据库题目以内容、难度分类(题量比笔试少了),由考生水平作为出题依据,真实反映考生实际能力,每卷的题数和题目不同,但成绩可以对比。题目的第一题是中等难度题,如做对则下题难度上升,做错则下题难度下降,但做同样数量的题,题目越难,得分就越高(具体评判标准ETS保密)。作文是随意抽题(同GRE,GMAT),每人题目都不同。



2.题目配合图片和声音,活化题目场景,加强考生的理解程度。



3.考生拥有个人化应考环境,每人一个小隔间/一台电脑/一副耳机,不受外在因素干扰。



4.考生用鼠标作答。



5.考试前,大约有一小时的电脑操作说明,介绍使用方法和应答方式。(依笔者之见,只要会用鼠标就可以了,根本不需要电脑专业知识)。



托福机考满分300分



当然,机考相对于笔考有着根本的不同。首先是分值的不同,机考满分不再是677,而是300分。注:起码550(笔)分、213(机)分以上,才能申请国外大学研究生院。(统计方法仍为各部分分数相加,乘以10再除以3),两者换算方法如右。其次,各个部分题数、答题时间、分值也有变化,具体内容如下:



背景—



1963年,第一份托福试卷在美国出现。1981年托福考试被引入中国,81年之前,托福全球最高分只有562分,但来到中国后,在北京就出现了无数满分和高分。1998年7月ETS首先在美国实行机考,2000年10月,ETS宣布在亚太地区全面实行,从目前来看,中国实行托福机考乃是大势所趋。



揭开新题型的“面纱”



听力—



考试前,务必先调整音量;别放过图片中提示的信息;阅读屏幕上显示的听力问题,以前听力的问题是看不到的;尽快作答,听力各题间不再有原来12秒间隔的限制,但总时间是一定的;熟悉新题型。



●图表题―――选项可能是图片或图表,确定答案后,直接用鼠标单击画面,画面外围多一个框,则表示答案被选取。



●排序题―――一些电脑托福考题会要求你将事件排序,也就是要把四件事情依顺序发生的先后排好。



●归类题―――测试对信息的分类及判断能力,然后用连连看的方式,对相关的问题与答案完成一个事件的配对。



语法—



填空和改错题任意、交错出现,不再是过去的先填空后改错。语法题型不变。



阅读—



●指出位置题―――这类题目提出文章中的某物、某件事、某个现象,要你找到它在文中所在的句子。答题时直接用鼠标点击文章里面的那段话,则此话会被反白显示。



●插入句子题―――这类题给予一句话,你要依照逻辑将那句话插入最合理的位置。此时文中有四个地方让你选择插入,以黑色小方格标记,用鼠标点击一下最合适的小方格,那句话就会加进来。



●指代题―――这类题寻找代名词的主人,直接在文中以鼠标点击此名词。



●解释含义―――这类题要考验你的解析语句能力,你必须知道这句话的真正意义,才能回答题目。答题时直接点击椭圆形空格,空格被填黑表示答案被选取。



●同义字―――这类题指明某个单词,要你在文中找到它的同义词。答时只要直接在左侧文中,用鼠标点击此单词即可。



写作—



ETS事先确定300个题目,考试时随机抽取一个,300个题目在www.toefl.org中有,考试时用手写、键盘输入皆可。在写作时注意运用稳固的结构,简明的开头,合情合理的内容以及从容的结尾,一定要注意杜绝语法错误,因为作文总分将计入总分。



听力语法按键无悔考试成绩当场知道听力、语法部分更改答案方法和笔考时不同,笔考中可以多次更改,而机考中按了next后再按confirmanswer则答案不能再做更改,阅读仍和以前一样。考试全过程有录相存证。考前一个月确定你的考试日期,考试费用为110美元左右,考试时登记考试时间为半小时,考试全过程为4到4.5个小时,语法、阅读间可休息10分钟。机考实行后每个月可考一次,有效期仍为2年,但和笔考不同,两年内所有成绩会一起寄给你所申请学校。考试成绩你当场就可以知道,不必再等待漫长的7星期。(邱政政)

2、讲cognitive development theory (cognize)

重点集中于Paugin(老外的名字不好记,不是着么拼的,但形似)关于它的研究。讲paperback的3次"paperback revolution" 第一次在1830-1845间,第二次during 了civil war 第三次没怎么提,只说现在的paperback的便宜价格是第三次的结果。很简单。

3、关于南极的冰随着季节不同变化的;

4、关于美国手艺术的发展,在17,18世纪



3月5日

1、美国各个地区保护树木的进程。

先讲一个城市在挖路基的时候发现地下全是大树的树根,才知道这座城市是建立在砍伐树木的基础上的,人们都很惊讶(这儿有题)一个什么总统于是立法,要求在砍树的时候,一定要同时种树,避免树木资源的贫乏。但是南部对树木的保护就比较落后一点,谁谁出现了,好象是一个伐木公司的老总,提出要求保护树木的资源,等等。这儿有个题目有点奇怪,是说下面那个机构不同意种新树,好象每个机构都同意保护资源,在这儿想了很久。



2、讲鹿的适应能力特别的好。

在美国除了比什么州还北边(这儿有题,问下面地区什么地方没有鹿生存)鹿几乎生活在美国的各个地方。比喻沙漠(有题,问为什么举例说沙漠),这是因为鹿的食谱很广,甚至包括鱼,到了季节鹿就会用蹄子来吃鱼(有题)。等等。



3、美国在经济萧条的时期是怎样帮助各种艺术家的。

政府发了很多钱资助这些人。有一个机构组织作家写各地的旅游手册,包括当地的\传统,失传的歌谣等等(有题,问写了这些手册有什么用)。TEF机构帮助戏剧,降低票价,让更多的人看戏。(有题,TEF有什么作用),还有一个机构雇佣很多画家在公共场地画壁画。帮他们度过了难关,为社会留下了很多有价值的艺术品。

第一个阅读是煤的形成过程-----附2月JJ



读懂下面这篇去考试绝对没问题了,惊人的相似,连用的名词都完全一样



Coal is formed by the physical and chemical alteration of peat (coalification) by processes involving bacterial decay, compaction, heat, and time. Coal is an agglomeration of many different complex hydrocarbon compounds, some of which owe their origin to the original constituents in the peat. Peat deposits are actually quite varied and contain everything from pristine plant parts (roots, bark, spores, etc.) to decayed plants, decay products, and even to charcoal if the peat caught fire. Peat deposits typically form in a waterlogged environment where plant debris is accumulated; peat bogs and peat swamps are examples. In such an environment, the accumulation of plant debris exceeds the rate of bacterial decay of the debris. The bacterial decay rate is reduced because the available oxygen in organic-rich water is completely used up by the decay process. Anaerobic (without oxygen) decay is much slower than aerobic decay.



In order for the peat to become coal, it must be buried by sediment. Burial causes compaction of the peat and, consequently, much water is squeezed out during the first stages of burial. Continued burial and the addition of heat and time cause the complex hydrocarbon compounds in the deposit to start to break down and alter in a variety of ways. The gaseous alteration products (methane is one) are typically expelled from the deposit and the deposit becomes more and more carbon-rich (the other elements drop out). The stages of this trend proceed from plant debris, peat, lignite, sub-bituminous coal, bituminous coal, anthracite coal, to graphite (a pure carbon mineral).



Because of the amount of squeezing and water loss that accompanies the compaction of peat after burial, it is estimated that it took vertical 10 feet of original peat material to produce one vertical foot of bituminous coal in eastern and western Kentucky. The peat to coal ratio is variable and dependent on the original type of peat the coal came from and the rank of the coal.



问题

1) 主题

2) 问在转化成煤的过程中没提到什么

3) peat lignite bituminous anthracite 过程中哪个过程物质发生了改变

还有很多词汇题,都很容易。

coal 媒 hydroelectricity

counterpart=style(没有version选,根据上下文我选了style应该没错)





第二个讲的是美国早期专利权的发展。



第三个讲的是一种昆虫

(有图,长的象蜜蜂,文章列出了它的名字,但是我想不起来了)dig nest。有时候他们会发现没有蜜蜂的洞,一是可能因为蜜蜂出去了,还可能是因为他们放弃了。於是别的蜜蜂就占领了这个洞。但是当挖这个洞的蜜蜂回来的时候,发现它的洞被占领了,於是两只蜜蜂就打起来,输的一方就必须离开。文章中还提到了蚂蚁。有一道题问为什么提到蚂蚁,我选得是因为蚂蚁也是挖洞的。



第四篇讲的是美国早期的人种谷物的。

,『前人机经,补充』有关造纸一篇(WORDEEP,)1,Spread plastic covering over a table, place a layer of felt(毛毡), and then a kitchen cloth the middle. 2Give the pulp(纸浆)a good stir and place the mold(模具)so that the mesh(网眼)is face up, and put the deckle on the top. Grip the two firmly, holding them by the shorter edge. 3 Slip(滑)the mold and deckle at an angle into the pulp mixture, then straighten them up so that they lid flat beneath the surface of the liquid. 4 Keeping the mold and deckle level, pull them straight up out of the liquid. Hold the mold and deckle level–the water will drain back through the mesh. 5 Gently shake the mold and deckle backward and forward, and side to side. This will help the fibers settle and mesh together. 6 Take the deckle off the mold. Put one edge of the sheet of paper on the kitchen cloth and gently press the sheet of paper onto the felt. This is called “couching”. Sponge off excess water. Put another piece on kitchen cloth or interfacing over the finished sheet and continue. You can layer several sheets. To keep paper flat when dried, press between 2 laminated boards (shelves from a home supply store works very well). Layer with felt to absorb moisture.

1). A large vat is filled with water and paper pulp. The mold and deckle is used to scoop up the pulp to form a sheet. 2. When the water has run off, the deckle is lifted carefully from the mold. 3. The sheet is couched onto felt, sponging to remove excess water. 4. The mold is lifted to reveal a sheet of paper, ready to be pressed and dried.

2),成固体的, movement动作,repeat,



考题: 纸刚刚发明出来的时候,欧洲人不用的原因是他们不信任纸,全篇说人工造纸,虽然开头说很快接受。

最后一个是插句子题,是晾干之意,应该放在压制步骤“Press”之后



2,3种水力发电。一种就是大坝,一种时把Tube直接放在水流中(这种对环境改变最小,有题,Naturaly),另一种是Reversal(就是两个发现都可以抽水,有题),在用电低峰时把水从低抽到高,用电高峰在发电。



词汇:BLOCKED=Confined(想了好久,应该对)



3,关于垃圾处理和下水道的发展原因,New York。19世纪以前都是自己处理,NY的政府记录有人没有认真处理垃圾,后来城市发展,垃圾导致很多疾病,各个城市开始重视。但NY反而不是第一个改革的,最先的应该是Britain,因为所美国Chicago和Brooklyn效仿British



4,Colony时代的法律,在美国的律师少,但后来需要,有些是从英国学的,有的没有多少知识。有个Bar的注释就是律师行业(有题)。美国青年(特别是南方,因为南方没有College,推出北方有,有题)都去英国一个学校学法律,这地方不是法律学校,但是 a part of the law culture (有题)。然后当Established lawyer学徒。

有一词不肯定 Established = Qualified ?



最后一个插入题,应该放在最后。

1、讲水污染的主题。

主要介绍水污染严重,问到水污染哪里最重(回答是港口附近),还介绍废物的分解如果速度慢,就会造成污染。

3。介绍market & pattern 的发展。

中间考了一道题,描述了中世纪的pattern,然后画了四个picture,问哪个正确,要我看都象是狗屎,估计选错了。



4。介绍出版业的发展和繁荣过程,比较easy,不多说了。

附2月JJ

讲美国早期出版业的发展历史。 词汇:vessel船,canal 运河,canal boat用于运河中的长而窄的船,exorbitant=expensive,capital资本,资金(别想成首都),upstart暴发户,cautious=careful,

考题:

出版商遇到的困难,叫你选不是的是(except):纸张太贵。

出版商不到美国南部的原因是美国交通那时大多是东西走向的,南部没有交通。

我们能从这篇文章推测出美国出版业比其它行业发展得更艰辛。
