大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)備考

1、大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)備考,閱讀專項(xiàng),1,大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀五大題型解析,篇章閱讀理解題是四級(jí)考生最熟悉的題型，兩篇文章，10道選擇題，文章的長(zhǎng)度350字左右，題材主要有說(shuō)明文、議論文。其中說(shuō)明文占比例較大。內(nèi)容涉及科普、教育、生活、環(huán)保、職場(chǎng)、健康和學(xué)習(xí)等。 四級(jí)考試大綱要求考生能讀懂中等難度的文章，掌握中心大章，能進(jìn)行一定的分析和推理，領(lǐng)會(huì)文章的觀點(diǎn)和態(tài)度。具體主要測(cè)試以下幾個(gè)方面的能力： l. 理解明確或隱含表的概念和細(xì)節(jié)； 2. 在理解事實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行正確的推理和判斷； 3. 理解文章的中心思想； 4. 理解文章的觀點(diǎn)和態(tài)度； 5. 猜測(cè)詞、短語(yǔ)以及句子在特定語(yǔ)境中的語(yǔ)義。,2,具體?？嫉念}型有五

2、種： 細(xì)節(jié)題、推理題、主旨題、態(tài)度判斷題和語(yǔ)義題。其中細(xì)節(jié)題和推斷題出題頻率較高。 閱讀考試的核心是檢測(cè)學(xué)生對(duì)同義轉(zhuǎn)述的把握能力。,3,同義轉(zhuǎn)述,同義轉(zhuǎn)述是英語(yǔ)閱讀考試的核心。同義轉(zhuǎn)述就是指語(yǔ)言重現(xiàn)。語(yǔ)言重現(xiàn)不僅對(duì)于定位答案所在句子或段落起到重要作用，而且對(duì)確定選項(xiàng)起到至關(guān)重要的作用。 三種語(yǔ)言重現(xiàn)： 1、AA語(yǔ)言重現(xiàn) 2、AB語(yǔ)言重現(xiàn) 3、因果關(guān)系重現(xiàn),4,AA語(yǔ)言重現(xiàn)定義：關(guān)鍵詞在原文中以原文形式出現(xiàn)。它以特殊關(guān)鍵詞為主，包括人名、地名、時(shí)間、數(shù)字和生詞。 AB 語(yǔ)言重現(xiàn)定義：關(guān)鍵詞A 在原文中以同義詞B的形式出現(xiàn)。AB 語(yǔ)言重現(xiàn)考察學(xué)生的單詞量。 因果關(guān)系重現(xiàn)定義：所謂因果關(guān)系重現(xiàn)是把定

3、位對(duì)象從詞上升到存在因果關(guān)系的句子結(jié)構(gòu)層面，從而越過(guò)生詞造成的閱讀障礙尋找因果關(guān)系在原文中的重現(xiàn)。這是四級(jí)英語(yǔ)閱讀比較重要的一類語(yǔ)言重現(xiàn)，是閱讀技巧的完美體現(xiàn)。,5,Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but regardless of whether it is or isnt we wont do much about it. We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly

4、solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed.

5、dont know enough to relieve global warming, and without major technological breakthroughswe cant do much about it.（作者的觀點(diǎn)） From 2003 to 2050, the worlds population is projected to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase. If energy use per person and technology remain the same, total ener

6、gy use and greenhouse gas emissions (mainly, CO2) will be 42% higher in 2050. but thats too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unless we condemn the worlds poor to their present poverty and freeze everyone elses living standards. With modest growth, ener

7、gy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050.,6,No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, politicians want to show theyre “doing something.” Consider the

8、 Kyoto Protocol (京都議定書). It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didnt. But it hasnt reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories (簽字國(guó)) didnt adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets. The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a pot

9、ential disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it. The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when its really an engineering one. Th

A) economic growth B) the widening gap between the rich and poor C) wasteful use of energy D) the rapid advances of science and technology,10,1、通過(guò)題干because of確定本題考的是因果關(guān)系。 2、通過(guò)數(shù)詞2050定位到第三段的最后一句話。介詞 with 是表因果關(guān)系的信號(hào)詞，與選項(xiàng)A是同義轉(zhuǎn)述，由此確

13、定原因是economic growth，故選A.。是因果關(guān)系語(yǔ)言重現(xiàn)。,11,三大細(xì)節(jié)題,細(xì)節(jié)題的提問(wèn)方式靈活多變，對(duì)象涉及短文的各種具體細(xì)節(jié)，如時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、原因結(jié)果、方式等。這類題目的一個(gè)共同特點(diǎn)是，答案一般都能在文章中直接找到。但有時(shí)出題者為了增加題目的難度，會(huì)有意避開(kāi)文中所用詞匯，而用這些詞的同義詞。在這種情況下，我們就要依據(jù)題干提及的關(guān)鍵詞，定位文中相關(guān)出處，再對(duì)比選項(xiàng)確定答案。,12,1）解題思路 細(xì)節(jié)題是每篇文章中最多的一種題型。做此類題的要點(diǎn)是：在題干中確定關(guān)鍵詞，返回原文，找準(zhǔn)出處。 步驟： 1 讀懂題干； 2 根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞定位原文段落， 3 定位原文后，仔細(xì)閱讀； 4

14、對(duì)照選項(xiàng)，找出與原文是同義轉(zhuǎn)述的選項(xiàng)，確定答案； 5 如選項(xiàng)中的內(nèi)容與原文無(wú)關(guān)的可首先排除； 切記： 大部分細(xì)節(jié)題的正確選項(xiàng)都是原文的同義轉(zhuǎn)述。,13,正確選項(xiàng)的特征：一般不會(huì)與原文一模一樣，通常是原文的“同義轉(zhuǎn)述” 1 如文中是雙重否定，答案一般會(huì)以肯定形式出現(xiàn)；文中肯定，答案是雙重否定； 2 換詞法，把關(guān)鍵詞換為其同義詞或近義詞； 3 很多時(shí)候，正確選項(xiàng)為段落的主旨句或強(qiáng)轉(zhuǎn)折、強(qiáng)對(duì)比之后的觀點(diǎn)。,14,2）細(xì)節(jié)題考點(diǎn)出處 （1）列舉、舉例、比喻處 例證題： 例證題考察的是文章的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)。這樣的文章結(jié)構(gòu)一般是“先論點(diǎn)后舉例”或“先舉例后論點(diǎn)” 切記：遇到問(wèn)“作者舉xx例子的目的”時(shí)，有關(guān)例子

15、本身的選項(xiàng)一定不是答案。正確答案的特征：跳出例子本身，從宏觀上概括，全面而合情合理。但有的時(shí)候會(huì)專門考所引的話的意思，這樣的題就屬于例子本身題，可具體問(wèn)題具體分析。,15,2007年6月 Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. （論點(diǎn)） If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while yo

The history of our language has always been a history of constant change- at times a slow, almost imperceptible change, at other times a violent collision between two languages. Our language has always been a living growing organism, and it has never been static. Anot

54、her significant truth that emerges from such a study is that language at all times has been the possession not of one class or group but of many. At one extreme it has been the property of the common, ignorant folk, who have used it in the daily business of their living, much as they have used their

55、 animals or the kitchen pots and pans. At the other extreme it has been the treasure of those who have respected it as an instrument and a sign of civilization, and who have struggled by writing it down to give it some permanence, order, dignity, and if possible, a little beauty.,41,As we consider o

56、ur changing language, we should note here two developments that are of special and immediate importance to us. One is that since the time of the Anglo-Saxons there has been an almost complete reversal of the different devices for showing the relationship of words in a sentence. Anglo-Saxon (old Engl

We must now depend largely on word order and function words to convey the meanings that the older language did by means of changes in the forms of words. Function words, you should understand, are words such as prepositions,

58、 conjunctions, and a few others that are used primarily to show relationships among other words. A few inflections, however, have survived. And when some word inflections come into conflict with word order, there may be trouble for the users of the language, as we shall see later when we turn our at

59、tention to such maters as WHO or WHOM and I or ME. The second fact we must consider is that as language itself changes, our attitudes toward language forms change also. The 18th century, for example, produced from various sources a tendency to fix the language into patterns not always set in and grew, until at the present time there is a strong tendency to re-study and re-evaluate language practices in terms of the ways in which people speak and write. 57. Which of the following can be b
