You should spend time with your family and take care of your myriad of daily chores.At work, it's not enough to be qualified for your job.

Contacts between home and the day care center or schoolare another priority. You have to keep up your friendships and your family relationships. You have to have empathy for everyone around you. You have to have time.How do we catch a guilty conscience? Finns in business asked family counselor Hannu Kuukka from the Helsinki parishservices. "A bad **es from conflicting pressures, from the feeling that you just can't manage everything that you consider important. Frustration and stress are the result. ""Our internalized roles--the role models that we subconsciously follow--also contribute to the problem. Throughout our lives, we carry with us the part we played in our own family. This can be a source of encouragement and support, or the seeds of a bad conscience. "What can we do for a bad conscience? "Our failures tend to become exaggerated in our minds, especially if someone close to usverbalizes them. You have to set priority. Couples should decide together if one of them is going to concentrate on work and the other on family. The couple is the foundation of the home, so they have to **mon ground," comments Hannu Kuukka.At work, you spend your time with adults, and you can excel in your own field. Are you **fortable at work than at home? This is a common feeling--and another source of guilt. "It is not unusual for relationships at work to be easier and more straightforward than those at home. The everyday life of a family with children can be exhausting. And today, with **petition and more friction at work, even these relationships have become more difficult," says Kuukka.Questions :SSS_SINGLE_SEL45.The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.A itemize what people have to accomplish in their livesB brief a real but tough situation for couples to cope withC explain why some people long for a break of routineD show how a full-time job goes against a family lifeSSS_SINGLE_SEL46.According to the author, the decisive factor for one to perform well at work is ______.A responsibility and devotionB right qualificationsC originality and open-mindednessD an IQ at least above 130SSS_SINGLE_SEL47.What seems always problematic for one's family life is that ______.A money never seems to be enoughB friendships and family relationships are hard to keep upC one simply can't afford the timeD it's impossible to share feelings with everyone aroundSSS_SINGLE_SEL48.As suggested by Kuukka, the right way to approach the problem is to ______.A exchange role models between the couple in the same boatB look at the same problem from a different perspectiveC turn a deaf ear to whatever other people would sayD get the couple's priorities right to ensure a rewarding lifeSSS_SINGLE_SEL49.From the last paragraph, it can be safely inferred that ______.A work relationships are as difficult to keep up as family relationshipsB working parents usually feel **fortable at work than at homeC **petition has affected the otherwise good terms with co-workersD the best moment of the day is when you might have escaped from family choresSection BThere is one passage in this section with five unfinished statements. Read the passage carefully, and **plete each statementin a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The taipan is an aggressive hunter, moving at speed through grasslands with ease. On finding its prey by scent, the reptileflings itself at the victim and inflicts several rapid bites. Like most other venomous snakes, the taipan uses its venom sparingly. As they don't regard man as prey, they have been known to strike andbite without releasing any venom at all, leading to no adverse effects.Although the taipan is the deadliest Australian snake, few snakes can match the sinister reputation of the eastern tiger snake (notechis scutatis). However, recent observations indicate that their ferocity and aggressiveness are not as bad as once thought and that actually they are fairly timid. There are different types of tiger snakes found in Australia but they are all highly poisonous and should be avoided. Until recently tiger snakes held the record for the most snakebite fatalities (now overtaken by the eastern brown snake).The body of the tiger snake has cross bands of yellow or cream on a background of grey, green or brown and this is what gives them their name. They have a heavy, build and can grow up to 1.8 metres. In the wild they are mainly a swamp dwelling species and are often found around waterways. Their habitat is now threatened by the clearing of such areas for development. They have been known, though, to climb into surrounding vegetation to a height of about 1 metre. They mainly feed on frogs and mice as adults, but will take the odd bird or lizard.Another highly dangerous Australian snake is the copperhead(austrelaps superbus). Although it is non-aggressive, if provoked it raises its forebody from the ground and flattens its neck, angry and hissing, ready to strike. Like all other Australian poisonous snakes it is an elapid, which means it has neurotoxic venom. This venom mainly attacks the nerves of the body, but it also contains blood destroying properties. The poison from elapids is generally very dangerous to humans and the copperhead is no exception having very potent venom.Pythons are also found in Australia, the carpet python (morlelia spilota) being the **mon. There are several different types of carpet python in Australia. They are widespread and can be found in avariety of habitat from wet tropics to dry, nearly, arid desert. They can be found in variable colours but usually have lighter blotches on a darker background. Carpet pythons are also bigger than most Australian snakes and can grow up to a length of almost 4 metres.The carpet python is largely nocturnal and preys mainly on mammals, birds and reptiles. Non-venomous, pythons bite into their prey and, when the prey struggles, it only sinks further onto the fangs. Next, the python coils around the animal to squeeze its breath out or, in some cases, to constrict its muscles and cause the main blood vessels to burst.One of the easiest snakes to identify in Australia is the bandy bandy ( vermicelli annulata). This is a distinctly marked elapid snake with black and white bands around it. It is found in 80% of mainland Australia. The bandy bandy averages about 60cm in length but can grow up to 80cm. It is found in all types of habitat from rainforest to swamps to deserts. It is usually found during the day under cover or on a mild night moving around the ground. The bandy bandy is a crepuscular or after-dark hunter though it seldom feeds due to its low metabolic rate. Unlike many of its cousins in Australia, it only feeds on blind snakes.Being an elapid, the bandy bandy is definitely a poisonous snake and looks alarmingly dangerous as it resembles the Malay krait and, when threatened, will flatten its body and raise its body in an aggressive manner. However, the markings and behaviour are a bluff and its venom is only mild and virtually harmless to humans.SSS_FILL50.A bite from a taipan ______ to humans.SSS_FILL51.Tiger snakes got their name from their ______.SSS_FILL52.Elapid snakes are always ______.SSS_FILL53.Copperhead snake poison is ______ to humans.SSS_FILL54.The bandy bandy is definitely a poisonous snake and looks alarmingly dangerous but virtually it's ______ to humans.Section CThis section consists of one passage followed by five questions. Read the passage carefully, and then answer each of the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Biological Pest ControlBiological control is, generally, human's use of a specially chosen living organism to control a particular pest. This chosen organism might be a predator, parasite, or disease which will attack the harmful insect. It is a form of manipulating nature to increase a desired effect. A complete Biological Control program may range from choosing a pesticide which will be least harmful to beneficial insects, to raising and releasing one insect to have it attack another, almost like a "living insecticide".Biological control methods can be used as part of an overall Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program to reduce the legal, environmental, and public safety hazards of chemicals. In addition, it may be a more economical alternative to some insecticides. Some biological control measures can actually prevent economic damage to agricultural crops. Unlike most insecticides, biological controls are often very specific for a particular pest. Other helpful insects, animals, or people can go completely unaffected or disturbed by their use. There is less danger of impact on the environment and waterquality.Biological control takes more intensive management and planning. It can take more time, require more record keeping, more patience, and sometimes more education or training. Successful use ofbiological control requires a greater understanding of the biology of both the pest and its enemies. Many natural enemies are very susceptible to pesticides, and using them successfully in an IPM program takes great care. In some cases, biological control may be more costly than pesticides. Often, the results of using biological control are not as dramatic or quick as the results of pesticide use. Most natural enemies attack only specific types of insects--unlike broad-spectrum insecticides, which may kill a wide range of insects. Though often an advantage, this can also be a disadvantage.Biological control uses naturally occurring predators, parasites and diseases to control pests. There are three main ways to use these natural enemies against unwanted insect pest populations. Classical Biological Control (importation) involves traveling to the country or area from which a newly introduced pest originated and returning with some of the natural enemies that attacked it and kept it from being a pest there. New pests are constantly arriving accidentally or intentionally. Sometimes they survive. When **e, their enemies are left behind. If they become a pest, introducing some of their natural enemies can be an important way to reduce the amount of harm they can do. Augmentation is a method of increasing the population of anatural enemy which attacks a pest. This can be done by mass producing a pest in a laboratory and releasing it into the field at the proper time. Another method of augmentation is breeding a better natural enemy which can attack or find its prey more effectively. Mass rearings can be released at special times when the pest is most susceptible and natural enemies are not yet present, or they can be released in such large numbers that few pests go untouched by their enemies. The augmentation method relies upon continual human management and does not provide a permanent solution unlike the importation or conservation approaches may. Conservation of natural enemies is an important part in any biological control effort. This involves identifying any factors that limit the effectiveness of a particular natural enemy and changing them to help the beneficial species. Conservation of natural enemies involves either reducing factors which interfere with the natural enemies or providing needed resources that help natural enemies.In addition to the introduction of predators, several microbial pathogens are effective against nematodes. They consist of a microorganism (e. g. a bacterium, fungus, virus or protozoan) as the active ingredient. They can control many different kinds of pests,although each separate active ingredient is relatively specific for its target pest(s). For example, there are fungi that control certain weeds, and other fungi that kill specific insects. The most widely used microbial pesticides are subspecies and strains of Bacillus thuringiensis, or BT. Each strain of this bacterium produces a different mix of proteins, and specifically kills one or a fewrelated species of insect larvae. While some BTs control moth larvae found on plants, other BTs are specific for larvae of flies and mosquitoes. The target insect species are determined by whether the particular BT produces a protein that can bind to a larval gut receptor, thereby causing the insect larvae to starve./Questions :SSS_TEXT_QUSTI55.What is commonly used in Biological Control program in addition to some specially chosen pesticides?SSS_TEXT_QUSTI56.In Augmentation, what is the key to kill pests?SSS_TEXT_QUSTI57.What is used by BT to kill insects?SSS_TEXT_QUSTI58.What is the animal called that another plant or animal, such as a wasp, lives on or in as a parasite in the passage?SSS_TEXT_QUSTI59.What is the only recipe of the weevil?Section DThis section consists of one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully **plete the summary below by choosing no more than three words front the passage for each blank Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Taking a page from science fiction, engineers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, in California, are developing small robot "buddies" that could tag along with astronauts and act as personal assistants.Developers envision little round robots about the size of grapefruit that are propelled by tiny fans through the weightlessness of a space station or shuttle. Hovering over the astronauts' shoulders and responding to **mands, the devices, equipped with cameras, speaker, microphones and a variety of sensors, could serve as additional sets of eyes, ears and noses for the crew in space and the support staff on the ground, engineers say.As an astronaut works on an experiment with both hands in a glove box, for instance, the mechanical assistant could serve as a communications link with a researcher watching from Earth.The devices also could patrol the corridors of the space station, checking for gas leaks, smoke and unusual bacterial growth, or remind astronauts about the next tasks on their daily to do lists or of the need to send a birthday message to a loved one at home.Yuri Gawdiak, the principal engineer on the project, said the idea of the personal satellite assistant, or PSA, came to him after an experiment between the American space shuttle Atlantis and the Russian Mir space station in 1996. That mission showed that laptop and **puters could use radio signals to exchange information on a wireless network without interfering with other electronic systems aboard the spacecraft.Afterward, astronauts told engineers that they wanted wireless palmtops, or even smaller portable data assistants, that could record and monitor data like the fictional tricorder devices popularized by the television series "Star Trek," Mr. Gawdiak said. "I took it a step further when I noticed that crews on missions left equipment to float around when they got busy," he said. "I thought they would like a device that would always face them when floating, perhaps something stabilized by gyroscopes.He said the idea evolved further when he saw astronauts on a shuttle mission demonstrate toys in weightlessness during an educational program. Small wind-up toys hopped and flew around the cabin with startling speed and ease, he said, spurring ideas ofpractical mobile devices."Then I saw 'Star Wars' and there was a scene in the movie when the characters used a remote robot object--a fast moving ball--to practise with their light sabers, "he said. "And that gave me more ideas. "The device, as now envisioned, is a ball about five inches( 12.5 centimeters) in diameter that is studded with sensors for rangefinders, motion detectors and position trackers to keep it from running into things or getting lost. The battery-powered PSA could move in any direction using six tiny enclosed propeller fans and have a flat-screen video panel on one side to display data."This is small enough to be unobtrusive, and big enough to hold the technology that will be available in the next couple of years to do the job," Mr. Gawdiak said.It would be impossible for each PSA to carry **puting power and instruments for all the things people suggest these helpers could do, which is where the wireless data **es into play.The robots would operate from a base station that would contain **puters for analy-sing sensor data, running speech-recognition and voice-synthesizer software, **munications and tracking the devices.The station also would contain docking ports for recharging the PSA's batteries and a variety of sensors that could be snapped onto the robots, depending on tasks assigned to them.Engineers at **pleted a crucial test of the robots' components this month by mounting them on a hover plate and guiding them around a test table on a cushion of air. And the team has receivedfinancing to develop a prototype."We hope to launch a personal satellite assistant in about two years aboard a space shuttle and in about three years aboard the International Space Station, "Mr. Gawdiak said.The space station, a $ 60 billion project involving 17 countries, will eventually house up to seven astronaut-researchers. Developers would like to use at least three PSAs on the station to demonstrate the technology, allowing the devices to work in formation to zero in on environmental problems.Summary :Grapefruit-sized robots may serve as personal assistants for astronauts. This idea came to Yuri Gawdiak after an experiment between (61) astronauts. Scientists envision that the small robots shall perform tasks that range from patrolling to reminding astronauts to send a birthday message. The robots, or (62) is powered by battery and (63) by tiny fans. Equippedwith (64) , it can move with ease and shall not run into things. Since these robots cannot carry all the necessary instruments,。

The University Boat Race is a uniquely British institution but it's taken on a distinctly international character. It dates back to 1829 and is now broadcast on television in more than a hundred countries. And of the sixteen rowers in the two boats, only five were British this year. It was the first time a French rower had taken part for at least a century. There were also four Americans, three Germans, two Canadians and an Australian.Question: How many British students joined the University Boat Race?13. In Romania, to the east, and Slovakia and the Czech Republic, to the north, populations in low-lying areas have been put on alert. In the Czech Republic, several people have died, and anti-flood barriers on the river Vltava have been raised. Czech officials have declared a state of emergency in several areas, and in the historic city of Olomouc, 250 kilometers east of Prague, thousands of people had to be evacuated.Question:In which country have several people died because of the flood?14. I was so touched by the way the people in London took to that animal and cheered it on. I just feel bitterly disappointed that we couldn't give them the result that they wanted. I feel that perhaps we got the result, hopefully, that the whale needed, and that's probably more important.Question: What animal was the man talking about?15. Steven Spielberg's ‘Munich' and Ang Lee's ‘Brokeback Mountain' are likely to be the big winners at the Oscar ceremony in five weeks' time.

The government wants to ban smoking in indoor public places, including restaurants and other places of entertainment. This is partly because it wants to discourage people from smoking, since smoking causes so much illness, but also to protect the health of the staff who work there, and who got no choice about breathing in second hand smoke.Question: What does the British government want to do?18. A crowd of some 35,000, including U.S. First Lady Laura Bush and Italian film legend Sophia Loren, filled the Olympic Stadium. More than 4,700 performers, including fast-moving skaters with fiery rocket packs, dancers and even dancing cows opened the festivities. Some 2,600 athletes from more than 80 countries and territories marched into the stadium accompanied by American pop music from the 1970s and 1980s.Question: How many performers joined the Winter Olympics opening ceremony?19. Governments from Singapore to South Korea are increasingly lifting restrictions on gambling. But gamblers do not have to wait for new casinosto open to place their bets: they can just use their mobile phones. Europe is the largest market for mobile gambling, but telecommunications analysts predict that Asia will catch up soon.Question: What is the passage mainly talking about?20. The United States National Weather Service says that this huge winter storm has dumped some 68.3 centimetres of snow in Central Park, making it the worst blizzard to hit New York City since records began in 1869. To add to the problems facing the entire north-eastern seaboard, winds across the region have been gusting at up to 96 kilometres an hour, causing serious localised drifting.Question: Which part of the United States was attacked by snowstorm?Section DDirections:In this section, you will hear 2 passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear 4 or 6questions. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneI have four small children, three girls and one boy. I don't go out very much because it's hard for me to find someone to look after them.Any time I do go out, I have to find a baby sitter. It's not easy for me to find a baby sitter because we have just moved here. Since we're new in town, I don't know very many people yet.Well, one Friday morning I looked in my purse and found that I had only two dollars left. I still had to do that week's grocery shopping. There was nothing else I could do; I had to go to the bank. I hoped that Rachel, my next-door neighbor, could come and baby-sit for me, but she wasn't home. So after the children were all dressed, off we went to the bank.After we'd all got into the car, I tried to relax a little as I drove to the bank. The children were very noisy from the start. They were yelling and crying and picking on each other. By the time we arrived at the bank, I was very angry.The bank was very crowded. I don't think I'd ever seen so many people there at once. I think, since it was the end of the month, it was payday for most people.Anyway, the children were still acting up, and I was still pretty angry with them. I turned around to try to keep them quiet and shouted, “Stand against the wall and don't say a word!” Everyone in the whole bank stopped talking. They thought it was a hold-up.Questions 21 to 24 are based on the psssage you have just heard.21. Why was it hard for the woman to find a baby sitter?22. Why couldn't Rachel, her next-door neighbor, baby-sit for her?23. How did the woman feel when she arrived at the bank?24. What happened when the woman shouted at her children?Passage TwoYou will hear an announcement about what's on television tomorrow. Man: And that's the weather forecast. And now we know what the weather's going to be like, let's have a look at what we've got for you tomorrow on TV31. Most of the morning is taken up with children's television. As it's Saturday, we've got programmes for children from the under fives to teenagers. We start the day at 7:00 with cartoons and programmes for the very young. These go on until 9:00 when we have a film specially made for television called ‘The Railway Princess'. It was first shown about six months ago and we've had lots of requests to show it again. The film is based on Jenny Johnson's best-selling children's book. Then from 10:30 until 12:00, we continue with a magazine programme for 5 to 12 year-olds. There's something for everyone - animals, art, sport, the countryside. At lunchtime, from 12:00 till 2:00, we have something for teenagers - ‘Here and Now' - our music programme with all the latest groups and singers, and the results of last week's competition.After lunch there's half an hour of news and that's followed at 2:30 by sport. This afternoon you can watch the match between Brazil andIreland, the winner of that match will go on to play Italy or Spain in the final next week.Football is followed at 4 o'clock by tennis. We'll be watching part of the Macmillan Tennis Tournament. If the tennis is cancelled because of rain we'll be going over early to Japan to see some of the skiing. Let's hope Angus Burns has recovered from yesterday's fall. At 5 o'clock we'll be bringing you the end of the Round Britain Cycle Race.At 6 o'clock it's time for our new quiz programme ‘Your guess is as good as mine' with Nigel Parsons. Each team is shown pictures of people who were in the news in one particular year, or important things that happened in that year. The teams guess when that was.That's followed by more news and at 7:00 it's time for our Saturday evening film ‘I Could Live Forever', a sad story with a happy ending. You'll recognize the songs, made famous by the film and sung by Julia Jones. And of course there's some wonderful dancing.Questions 25 to 30 are based on the psssage you have just heard.25. During which period is The Railway Princess on television?26. When is there a music programme for teenagers?27. Which two teams can you see in the football match?28. If the weather is bad, which sport will be cancelled?29. What do the teams have to guess in the quiz programme?30. What kind of film is I Could Live Forever?。

第六章改错第一节命题分析1. 考试要求改错是2012年出现的新题型,要求考生能运用语法、词汇等语言知识识别所给短文内容的语病并提出改正方法。
2. 试题形式本部分由一篇约250个单词的短文组成,短文中有10行标有题号。
该10行内每行最多含有一个错误。
要求学生根据“增添”“删除”“改变”其中某一个单词或“标记该行正确”四种方法中的一种改正语误。
3. 命题特点(1)从题材来看:以考生比较熟悉的人文、社会生活类题材为主。
(2)从考查内容来看:错误类型可分为语法知识错误、词汇与搭配错误、语意不符错误。
——语法知识错误主要指主谓一致、比较级、名词单复数、第三人称单数等语法规则的误用;——词汇与搭配错误主要指近形、近义词等易混词的误用以及固定短语搭配的误用;——语意不符错误是指该处用词与整篇文章感情色彩或文章基调不一致。
(3)从出题比重和考查频率来看:语法错误在这三类出题形式中占绝对优势,相比之下,词汇与搭配错误以及语意不符错误比较少。
第二节技巧指南一、典型错误分类讲解为了能使考生较为彻底地把握解决错误、识别语病的钥匙,为了避免“知其然而不知其所以然”的现象,我们首先从错误类型归类着手,介绍易于记忆的、起关键作用的要点、标记,并以此作为钥匙去开启识别、改正短文的语病的大门。
1. 语法错误(1)词法错误词法错误常见的考点有:名词、动词、形容词或副词、介词、连词、冠词等语法规则的误用。
◆名词错误①名词数的混淆例1:[2014年A类初赛]Perhaps one of the best-known accidental discovery is Sir Alexander Fleming’s discovery of penicillin.【discovery→discoveries,该句提到“one of”,可知此处应当用名词复数discoveries,指“最著名的偶然发现之一”。
】例2:[2013年A类初赛]…bones start to break down and lose calciums…【calciums→calcium,calcium意思是“钙”,是不可数名词。

第三部分 历年真题命题规律总结及备考指南
一、历年真题命题规律总结
◆从试卷结构上看 试卷命题日趋正规化和标准化,试卷结构
大的题型框架每年基本一样,整个试卷共分八 部分——听力、词汇、语法与文化、阅读理解、 完形填空、翻译、改错、智力测试以及写作, 总分150分,答卷时间共120分钟。
dinner party, OK? W: Why didn’t you ask me first? Q: What’s the woman’s attitude?
【解析】对话中女士并未直接给出自己的 意见,但是由女士的回答“Why didn’t you ask me first?”,即“为什么你没有先问我”,可知 女士是不高兴男士这样的决定。
③熟练掌握有关日常生活等方面的词语、 习语、句型等
熟悉日常生活中常用的词汇、短语、习语、 句型,能使考生听到相关对话时迅速做出反应, 提高答题效率和正确率。
例:[2012年A类决赛] How often does the man play cricket? A. Seldom. B. Frequently. C. Never 【录音原文】 M: I got a backache from playing cricket. W: I didn’t know you played cricket. M: Well, once in a blue moon. 【解析】在回答这个问题时,男士说到once in a blue moon(极为罕见,千载难逢),可知他很 少玩板球。如果知道这个习语,就不难选出正 确答案。
参赛对象 A类——研究生 B类——英语专业本、专科的学生 C类——非英语专业的本科生 D类——体育类和艺术类的本科生和高职高专类的 学生
全国大学生英语竞赛A类(研究生)高分应试教程(完形填空)【圣才出品】
第三章完形填空第一节命题分析1. 考查目的完形填空不是单纯考查某些语法项目,或是对某些词义的识别能力。
而是从语篇的角度,全面考查考生综合的阅读能力、对词汇的掌握程度、语法规则的应用、对英语习惯用法的熟悉程度、逻辑推理能力以及对英语的语感等英语实际应用能力。
2. 题型介绍主要为三种出题形式:(1)词汇变形(有单词提示):一篇含有若干处空缺的文章,空缺处所需的单词已给出,要求考生用所给单词的正确形式填空;(2)补充单词(有字母提示):一篇含有若干处空缺的文章,空缺处所需的单词的前几个字母(不超过3个)已给出,要求考生把单词补充完整;(3)词汇填空(无提示):一篇含有若干处空缺的文章,没有任何提示,要求考生根据上下文语境填出单词。
3. 特点与难点(1)题材广泛以往的考试中文章体裁以说明文为主,题材涉及文化、教育、人文、科技以及社会等,范围较广,内容也很丰富,考试难度有明显的上升趋势。
(2)主观题型与国内现行其他英语考试中的完形填空不同的是,大学生英语竞赛中的完形填空不是多项选择的客观题,而是主观题,难度较大。
在补充单词题型中,由于没有选项,只有几个字母的提示,要求考生根据对全文内容及结构的理解,在自己的“词汇库”里搜索出正确的单词,将其补全,考生普遍都感到比较困难;而在词汇变形题型中,难点主要体现在改变词形上,这对考生的词性把握和单词拼写能力都提出了较高要求。
(3)考查实词与搭配与普通英语考试不同的是,大学生英语竞赛的完形填空对语法知识的考查比较少,测试的要点主要集中在实词(动词、名词、形容词以及副词)和固定搭配(动词短语、名词短语、形容词短语、介词短语及其他习惯用语和各种句型结构)上。
(4)空缺阻碍与通篇理解文章主要从语篇的角度综合测试考生对文章的理解能力和对基础知识的运用能力,因此,考生通过空缺阻碍获得的对整篇文章的理解在答题中起到了至关重要的作用。
第二节技巧指南1. 重视首句一般来讲,文章的首句往往是引导句,也就是文章的主题句,直接点明文章的主题或背景,因此读懂文章的首句是了解文章大意的关键所在。

第五章翻译第一节命题分析1. 考核要求该部分分为英译汉和汉译英两个部分。
英译汉考查参赛者照顾上下文及语言表达等的综合翻译能力。
考生应该能从语篇的角度正确理解概念或结构稍显复杂的英语材料,并能用准确、达意的汉语书面表达出来。
汉译英其本质是考查英语中的常见句法、核心语法理解及一些固定搭配的使用。
2. 出题形式英译汉采取整段翻译的形式进行考查;汉译英要求考生确运用题目中所给出的英语短语、句型等翻译文中的划线句子。
3. 试题特点(1)英译汉文章内容选材没有明显的规律可循,题材非常广泛,人文、历史、科技、社会均有涉及,体裁以说明文、记叙文为主,散文、议论文也曾出现过。
(2)英译汉段落中通常有结构较为复杂的复合句。
大多数句子无难词、偏词。
(3)汉译英单句翻译均有相关单词、短语或句型的提示。
第二节技巧指南一、解题步骤(一)英译汉英译汉可按照以下几个步骤进行:1. 通读全文明确全文主旨,根据文体确定译文的语言色彩一般而言,科技科普等说明文译文措辞应严谨准确,记叙文文体翻译时要注意作者带有的感情色彩,散文要尽量追求语言的美感。
2. 分析复合句的句子结构(1)确定句子主句与从句的关系,找出句子的骨干,即主句的主谓结构,明确从句的功能;(2)找出句中的非谓语动词、介词短语和插入语,界定其修饰对象;(3)要注意分析句子成分是否有省略的地方。
3. 理解语句的含义不仅要弄清句子中所有实词和虚词的含义,还要理解全句的整体意思及该句子所处的具体语言环境。
包括以下几点:(1)句子中是否含有代词和其他具有指代意义的词,如it, they, them, this, that, these, those和other等所指代的词或词组,如果有,应根据上下文确定它们指代的内容是什么;(2)句子中的一些常用的短语和词具有多种含义和用法,应结合上下文,确定其具体含义是什么;(3)结合上下文推断个别生词的意思,理解句中出现的常用搭配;(4)检查该部分的意义与全文的内容是否一致。

第一章听力
第一节命题分析
1. 考核要求
全国大学生英语竞赛听力部分主要考查考生获取口头信息的能力(理解主旨大意、听懂重要事实和细节、推断隐含的意义、判断言语的交际功能、分辨说话人的观点态度等),要求学生在听完听力材料以后了解内容大意,抓住有关细节,并能进行综合归纳、推理,领会说话人的观点、态度、意图等。
2. 试题结构
听力理解部分共30题,共计30分,时间30分钟。
A类竞赛主要从四个方面来考查考生的听力理解能力:短对话、长对话、短新闻、复合式听写及摘要填空。
3. 试题特点
(1)题型的出题方式较为稳定,基本可归纳为四个方面:短对话、长对话、新闻、复合式听写及摘要填空。
需要说明的是,长对话部分在2017年开始改革,出题方式增加了判
断正误题,Section D部分增加了复合式听写题。
另外需要说明的是,2018年听力部分进行了微调,短对话部分原来问题会显示在试卷上,现在改为在录音中读出,难度略有增加。
(2)英语竞赛听力发音为标准的英音或美音,基本不会涉及方言;语速每分钟150词左右(六级或略高于六级水平)。
(3)听力内容取材广泛,但基本为日常生活相关的内容,同时包含一些社会热点,如埃博拉病毒、欧洲冠军联赛等。
(4)听力部分录音均只放一遍。
相对其他题型来说,该部分是考生失分较多的地方。
第二节技巧指南
为了帮助考生进一步明确所要考查的目标,对听力内容充分分析、概括、总结,并做出正确的推理、判断,最后得出答案,下面分别讲解四种类型考题的特点及解题技巧。
◆短对话
1. 试题特点
(1)注重考查逻辑思维
在全国大学生英语竞赛听力对话部分中,能够从对话原文中直接找到答案的题目所占比重较小,而那些要求参赛学生对对话内容进行深刻的逻辑思维,从而判断出对话人的意图、态度或意见要求的题所占比重较大。
(2)对话内容涉及面广
无论是长对话还是短对话,话题基本以衣、食、住、行等日常生活为主。
(3)对话的方式多为一问一答
在短对话听力测试中,对话的方式多为问答式,首先由第一个人提出一个问题,再由第
二个人予以回答。
或者由第一个人陈述一个观点,第二个人表示附和或反对。
问答的回合数一般不会超过三个。
2. 解题攻略
短对话作为听力理解部分中较为简单的一类题型,有其特定的解题技巧。
(1)提前快速浏览题目及选项,把握听音重点
考生应充分利用试卷发下到Directions播完的这段时间,迅速浏览试卷上这部分所给的选项,这样在听的时候就能有的放矢地捕捉关键信息,弄清对话环境和意图,最后排除各干扰项,做出正确选择。
例1:[2014年A类决赛]
How has the company been affected by the change?
A. Lots of its factories have stopped running.
B. Many workers have been forced to retire early.
C. It is going to close down soon.
D. Very few workers will be forced to resign.
【听音重点】题干问公司由于变化受到了什么影响,根据选项中出现的关键词factories,workers,close down,可以猜出公司由于变化出现了危机,要么是在工厂运行方面的,要么是在员工方面的,并且注意B、D选项均是根据workers设置的选项,注意二者的区分。
听录音时应重点注意关于factories,company和workers的描述。
【录音原文】
W: How has the takeover affected the company?
M: A plant in Manila and another in Dubai will be closed down. About 300
people are going to lose their jobs. But most of them will be offered jobs in other plants and quite a few want to take early retirement.
W: So there are no compulsory redundancies?
M: Very few.
例2: [2012年A类初赛]
Why is the woman in a good mood?
A. The copier worked and she got the copies.
B. She kicked the copier and now feels better.
C. She had the copier fixed in time.
【听音重点】由题干中的woman以及选项中的copier,可知女士心情好是和copier 有关,因此在听音时要注意女士是如何表述和copier相关的内容的。
【录音原文】
W: This stupid thing keeps getting jammed. I can’t get it to make any copies.
M: So it makes sense you’re in such a good humor.
W: I gave it a good kick and feel better.
(2)注意捕捉说话人的弦外之音
对话部分有很多问题都不是针对讲话人的字面意思发问的,考生必须体会到讲话人的言外之意,才能推断出正确选项。
例1: [2007年A类初赛]
A. Excited.
B. Annoyed.
C. Worried.
【录音原文】
A: Look, it’s already 8 o’clock, and Tom said he’d be here by 7.
B: Yes, but you know what the traffic is like at this time of the day.
A: He said he’d make a special effort not to be late. Why does he always do this?
B: Take it easy. There’s probably a reasonable explanation.
A: You mean he’ll give us one of his typical excuses? Well, I’ve had enough of it already.
Q: How does the woman feel about Tom’s being late?
【解析】根据录音中的关键词“always”及“had enough of”,可推测出女士对于Tom 迟到这件事很生气。
(3)熟练掌握有关日常生活等方面的词语、习语、句型等
熟悉日常生活中常用的词汇、短语、习语、句型,能使考生听到相关对话时迅速做出反应,提高答题效率和正确率。
例:[2012年A类决赛]
How often does the man play cricket?
A. Seldom.
B. Frequently.
C. Never.
【录音原文】
M: I got a backache from playing cricket.
W: I didn’t know you played cricket.
M: Well, once in a blue moon.
【解析】在回答这个问题时,男士说到once in a blue moon(极为罕见,千载难逢),可知他很少玩板球。
如果知道这个习语,就不难选出正确答案。
3. 题型分析
听力短对话试题类型多样,这里主要介绍常涉及的七种题型及针对各题型的答题技巧。
(1)地点与方向(Location and Direction)
地点与方向类试题在对话中经常出现。
这类题目根据对话内容,就有关地点提问,要求考生从给出的选项中选出正确答案。
这些地点包括对话进行的地点、对话涉及的事件的地点、涉及的人物的地点或人物来自哪里及要去的地点。
考题类型:
①直接型。
地点在对话中会直接出现,但提到的地点通常不止一个,考生需要对其进行辨认、选择。
A类比赛中直接型出题比较少。
例:[2008年A类样题]
A. At a bank.
B. At a department store.
C. At a lawyer’s office.
【录音原文】
W: I just stopped by at your office in the bank. They told me that you had quit. Where are you working now?
M: I am working for a lawyer now. The pay is better and the work is much more interesting.。
