What could a woman do in such a (2) decidedly male-dominated world? They argued. But the (3) motive behind the choice of Simona as the new presenter soon became apparent. Rather than change to fit the programme – there is nothing (4) masculine about her – she created a new, more modern show, the (5) principal aim of which is to entertain the whole family.

大学英语四级完型题型分析及解题技巧
大学英语四级完型题型分析及解题技巧大学英语四级完型题型分析及解题技巧一、题型分析完型填空(cloze)是在一篇长度约为200词、题材熟悉、难度适中的短文中留出20个空白,每个空白为一题,每个题分别提供四个选择项,要求考生在全面理解文章内容的基础上,从这四个选择项中为每题选择一个最佳答案,从而使短文意义连贯、结构完整。
该部分占卷面分数10%。
完形填空的题型主要有以下特点:1、全文所设置的20个空白的间隔有的词多, 有的词少。
其原因是设置空白需要根据语言点和考点。
2、从选项来看, 每小题的4个选项一般都属于相同或对等的词类或结构, 属于同一范畴。
20个小题的80个选项中所用到的词汇或结构基本不重复, 以期增大考查的覆盖面。
3、从考查能力的重点看, 是以考查对文章的通篇理解和词汇意义为主。
单纯从语法角度命制的题不多, 一般需要考生把握上下文语境的逻辑关系, 掌握一定的常识, 理解词语的搭配等。
总体上讲, 完形填空主要考查考生对语段的连贯性和一致性等特征的辨识能力, 以及对一定语境中规范的语言成分的掌握, 是对考生综合运用语言能力的大检验。
二、常考考点完型填空题测试点主要在词法、语法、语篇和背景知识几方面。
1、词汇辨析词汇是完形填空的最大的考点,近几年,完型填空部分中的词汇辨析的难度在上升,由以往以语篇理解为主的词汇考查转向对较高难度词汇进行考查。
主要考查实词,如名词、形容词、动词、副词。
对名词的测试要点主要是同义词和反义词辨义。
对形容词的测试要点是形容词做定语、表语,形容词最高级和比较级等。
对动词的测试要点是短语、惯用语及虚拟语气。
副词的考查内容包括各类副词(地点副词、时间副词、方式副词、程度副词、连接副词和疑问副词)。
选项往往以同义词,近义词,反义词或形近易混词的形式出现。
固定搭配以动词、形容词与副词、介词构成的词组居多。
这些词组出现在完形填空中,主要以副词和介词为考点。
此部分的出题方式一般是把介词和副词抽出来作选择题,给考生的表面印象是考介词、副词,可是实际考的是短语或惯用语;有时候也会考某些介词的独立用法。

最新英语六级阅读试题分析及复习策略
最新英语六级阅读试题分析及复习策略阅读理解(reading comprehension)是大学英语六级考试中分值最高也是考生最感头痛的部分,其成绩的高低对考生能否顺利通过六级至关重要。
笔者拟对最新六级考试(2003年12月举行,以下简称本次考试)阅读理解试题做一下分析,有助于读者在新一轮的考试中取得好成绩。
变化趋势题材生僻相对于往年的选材,这次考试的题材较为生僻,大部分考生可能只对阅读的第一篇“维生素对人体的作用”有一些背景知识。
这就要求考生平时多接触不同题材的文章了解各方面知识,如相关科普知识、经济、生活和社会文化等。
本次考试的passage one 是一篇关于维生素对人类健康作用的文章,从结构上分析是典型的新老观点型文章。
文章一开始提出一种老观点,认为服用的维生素人体难吸收,对人类健康无益。
然后作者给出新看法,也就是服用适量的维生素是有益的,而整篇文章也就围绕这一新看法展开。
passage two 探讨了妇女工作对婚姻和家庭的影响。
文章也是给出了两种不同的观点,但是作者并没有简单地肯定或否定某一方的观点,而是认为双方都有可取之处,这是一种复杂的态度。
这在以往的六级试题中是少见的,在笔者的记忆中这种复杂态度的文章只在1999年1月份的六级试题(passage one)中出现过。
值得注意的是,在国外的一些标准化考试(如 gre 等)这一类的文章是很常见的。
这在一定程度反映了六级阅读今后的发展趋势:与国外的标准化考试接轨。
passage three 探讨了人类本性(human nature)的问题,也是新老观点型的文章。
结构非常简单,难点主要在于文章的内容考生可能不很熟悉。
passage four 介绍了一种新的医疗技术(virtual reality)。
这类介绍新技术、新发明的科普文章结构都较简单,主要围绕新技术和新发明作用、原理、优点、意义和影响来展开。
大家可以看一看2002年1月六级考题的passage one,熟悉一下这种文章的套路。

So speakers of those languages will find many familiar words in English. In fact, English has words from many other languages as well.W: Why is that?M: Well, partly because English speakers have travelled a lot. They bring back words with them, so English really does have an international vocabulary.W: And what's the other advantage of English?M: It's that English grammar is really quite easy. For example, it doesn't have dozens of different endings for its nouns, adjectives and verbs, not like Latin, Russian, and German for example.W: Why is that?M: Well, it's quite interesting actually. It's because of the French. When the French ruled England, French was the official language and only the common people spoke English. They try to make the language as simple as possible, so they made the grammar easier.【大学英语四级历年真题及答案解析】。

大学英语汉译英题型解析讲义
大学英语汉译英题型解析一.题型透析:翻译题型为补充填空式的中译英,名为翻译,实为补全句子,一共五道。
主要考查考生对英语一些常用表达法(词汇搭配)和语法知识的掌握。
因此考生应熟记四级常考词组与搭配,和巩固基本的语法知识。
二、应试技巧三部走应试技巧:语法结构分析—用词搭配—整合检查。
(一)语法结构分析由于是句子片段翻译,是在给定部分句子的基础上结合括号内所给汉语意思进行翻译,所以务必要进行整句语法结构分析。
即:第一、弄清句子结构,确定需译部分在整句中结构上的功能,以便进一步明确相应表达。
第二、判断整句时间状态,以确定需译部分动词时态(若有的话)。
如:1.名词性从句(主语从句, 宾语从句, 表语从句, 同位语从句)和状语从句(”倒装”别放过)***(1)主语从句有三类:a)由what等代词引导的主语从句:what表示“…所…的(东西)”, 在结构上等于一个名词加一个定语从句; whatever表示“所…的一切”; whoever表示“一切…的人”.What you need is more practiceWhat is hard is to do good all one’s life and never do anything bad.Whatever was said here must be kept secret.Whatever I have is at your service.Whoever comes will be welcome.Whoever fails to see this will make a big blunder.b)由连词that引起的主语从句: 这类主语从句在大多数情况下都放到句子后部去, 而用代词it做形式上的主语:That we need more equipment is quite obvious.It is impossible that I may not able to come.It doesn’t seem likely that she will be here.在口语中连词that有时可以省略掉:It’s good you’re so considerate.It’s a pity you missed such a fine talk.c)由连接代词或连接副词(或whether)引起的主语从句:这类主语从句, 也可以放到句子后部去,前面用it做形式上的主语.When we shall have our sports meet is still a question.It is still a question when we shall have our sports meet.Whether he will join us won’t make too much difference.It won’t make too much difference whether he will join us.(2)宾语从句:和主语从句及表语从句一样, 宾语从句也有以上三类.a) 连接代词或副词引导的从句只是在某些动词后能用作宾语.Tell me what you want.I just can’t imagine how he could have done such a thing.Have you decided whom you are to nominate as your candidate.能跟这类宾语从句的常见动词有: see, say, tell, ask, answer, know, decide, find out, imagine, suggest, doubt, wonder, show, discover, discuss, understand, inform, advise等. 这种动词后也常用whether或if引导的从与作宾语:I don’t know whether these figure are accurate.I’m wondering if the letter is overweight.这种从句有时前面可以有另一个宾语:Has she informed you when they are to hold the meeting?Please advise me which book I should read first.有时这种从句也可用作及词的宾语:Whether that is a good solution depends on how you look at it.He was not conscious of what an important discovery he had made.I was curious as to what he would say next.b) 用that引导的从句作宾语的情形最为普遍, 在很多动词如boast, say, think, insist, wish, hope, suppose, see, believe, agree, acknowledge, admit, deny, expect, explain, confess, order, command, suspect, dream, suggest, propose, know, mean, notice, prefer, request, require, report, urge, 以及doubt的否定和疑问式后面都可以用它.(3)状语从句(”倒装”别放过)***91.__________________(直到他完成使命)did he realize that he was seriously ill.(08060491)91. Not until he had finished the missionPractice:89 I am going to pursue this course, _____________(无论我要作出什么样的牺牲). (07120489)89. no matter at what expense (cost)/ no matter what I have to sacrifice (pay)/ would have to sacrifice (pay)91 Many Americans live on credit, and their quality of life _______________(用他们能够借到多少来衡量的), not how much they can earn.

Nor could anyone else in our class.Only in this way is it possible to accomplish the above-mentioned glorious task.2)以neither, nor, so等开始的句子: 由so引起的表示前面所说情况也适用于另一人(或东西)的句子(肯定句), 由neither, nor引起的表示前面所说情况也适用于另一人(或东西)的句子(否定句), 助动词或be置于主语前.“We must start for the work-site now”. “ So must we.”I am quite willing to help and so are the others.He didn’t drop any hint. Nor (Neither) did his secretary.“I won’t do such a thing.” “Nor (Neither) will I.”如果一个句子只是重复前面一句话的意思, 尽管是用so开头, 语序也不要颠倒.“It was cold yesterday.” “So it was.”“Tomorrow will be Monday.” “So it will.”3)当句首状语为never, little, not only, not until, hardly, scarcely等否定词或有否定意义的词语时, 一般引起部分倒装.No longer are they staying with us.No sooner had he arrived there than he fell ill.Under no circumstances could I agree to such a principle.4)表示位置或方向的副词提前, 谓语动词为go, come等表示位置转移的动作动词而主语又较长时, 通常用全部倒装:There was a sudden gust of wind and away went his hat.The door burst open and I rushed the crowd.There comes the bus!Now comes your turn.如果主语是代词, 仍用正常语序:There comes your turn.有here引起, 谓语为be的句子, 也要倒装:Here is China’s largest tropical forest.Here are some picture-books.如果主语是代词, 仍用正常语序:Here we are. This is the new railway station.“Give me some paper.” “Here you are.”5)表语和系动词提前:a)介词短语: On the other side was northern Xinjiang.Near the southern end of the village was a large pear orchard.b)形容词: Very important in the farmer’s life is the radio weather report.Worst of all were the humiliations he suffered.c) 副词: Below is a restaurant.Southwest of the reservoir were 2,000 acres of sandy wasteland.d)分词: Housed in the Cultural Palace are a library, an auditorium and recreation rooms.Hidden underground is a wealth of gold, silver, copper, lead and zink.Lying on the floor was a boy aged about 17.Standing beside the table was an interpreter.6) 句首状语若由only + 副词, only + 介词词组, only + 状语从句构成, 引起局部倒装:Only yesterday did he find out that his watch was missing.Only through sheer luck did he manage to get some tickets.Only because there were some cancelled bookings did he get some tickets in the end.有not only开头的句子或分句, 往往引起局部倒装:Not only did he complain about the food, he also refused to pay for it.Not only did the garage overcharge me, but they hadn’t done a very goo d repair job either.4.比较结构***比较从句1)倍数表达法:half /twice/three times,ect. as much as : half/double/triple ,ect. the amount2)as…as, almost/just/nearly as…as, not so/as …as:We’ll give you as much help as we can.I haven’t made as much progress as I should.We’ve produced twice as much cotton this year as we did ten years ago.My command of English is not half so (as) good as yours.3)than, so much/a lot more than, no more… than, not more…than, less thanmore…than, less…than,not so much …as… (=rather than)可表示“与其说…不如说…”:He is more good than bad.He was less hurt than frightened.The present crisis in capitalist countries is much more a political than an economic crisis.4)“no + 形容词或副词比较级+ than”所表示的可以是该形容词或副词的相反的含义:no rich than = as poor asno bigger than = as small asno later than = as early asJohn is no better than Tom.I have taken no more than six courses this semester.5)the more… the more (越是…就越…)Actually, the busier he is, the happier he feels.The more they talked, the more encouraged they felt.6)more of a, as much of a, less of a, etc: 当as much of a…as, more/less of a …than等结构与单数可数名词搭配时, 名词只能置于比较结构中间.not much of a…: not a good不算好的;not/ without so much as : not even甚至没有/都不He is more of a sportsman than his brother.He is not much of a scholar.He can’t so much as write his own name. 他甚至连自己的名字都不会写。
