英语专业八级阅读理解题型分析及应试技巧

英语专业八级阅读理解题型分析及应试技巧英语专业八级阅读理解题型分析及应试技巧阅读理解是语言学习中最重要的基本技能之一,阅读是获取语言知识最直接、最有效的方法,阅读能力则是衡量掌握语言综合能力的一项重要标志。

学习阅读,学会阅读,提高英语阅读能力,是最终掌握英语,提高整体英语水平的必由之路。

英语专业八级考试中也设立了阅读理解部分,而且阅读部分在整个考试中占相当大的比重,该部分的得分直接影响到整个考试的成败,因此无论是教师还是考生都对此非常重视。

八级考试中的阅读理解部分主要是依据国家教委批准的《高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲》中对英语阅读教学内容和要求的规定,运用科学的测试手段,检验英语专业学生对于高级英语阅读能力和技巧的掌握,从而检查各有关院校对于大纲规定的教学内容和教学要求的完成和执行情况。

应该说到了准备八级考试的时候,学生已经具备了相当的阅读经验和阅读能力,现在的关键是多做练习,大量阅读,通过阅读来提高阅读水平。

如果还存在一些不良阅读习惯的话,比如用手指着读,默读时出声等等,就应毫不犹豫地痛下功夫去改正。

下面列出了一些常用的阅读技巧,仅作提醒之用。

希望考生能仔细对照自己的情况,尽快改掉不良习惯,以便提高自己的阅读效率。

1.略读略读(skimming)是常用的阅读方法之一,其主要特征是选择性地阅读。

通常的阅读要求看到每一个词,每次注目看1-2个词。

略读不需要看到每一个词,眼睛跳动的频率和幅度都有较大的提高,有时甚至从上一行跳到下一行。

略读不可能使你对所读内容全部了解,但是你能大大地提高阅读速度,也能获得大量的信息。

略读的主要作用是了解文章的大意。

经过略读之后,你对所读内容已经有了大致的了解,再仔细阅读,这时你的印象会更深刻,理解更透彻。

大部分读者不需要正规的训练和指导就可以进行略读。

但是有意识地训练会大大地提高你的略读速度和效率。

进行略读训练的最简单的.方法是强迫自己在规定的时间内读完某一篇文章,开始训练时,可以把略读速度定为平常阅读的5/4倍,以后逐步提高。

In today’s lecture, we shall start a new topic on American studies; that is American values. If you asked most Americans what the cultural values in the U.S. are, you might get some blank stares, or a statement of some basic beliefs. The question may seem simple, but the answer is quite complex. In a society as highly diverse as the United States, there is likely to be a multitude of answers. Since America is a country of immigrants, American culture has been enriched by the values and belief systems of virtually every part of the world. Consequently, it is impossible to be comprehensive. Nevertheless, a few selected values are at the core of the American value system. The first is definitely individual freedom. It’s the one value that nearly every American would agree upon. Whether you call it individual freedom, individualism, or independence, it is the cornerstone of American values. It permeates every aspect of our society. The concept of an individual’s having control over his or her own destiny influenced the type of government that was established here, and individual rights are guaranteed in the United States Constitution. These rights are so protected in our judicial system that, even though Americans may complain that criminals sometimes “get away with murder”, most people believe it is better to free a few guilty persons than to imprison one person who is innocent. While our economic system may be dominated by large corporations, the majority of American businesses are small, and many are owned by an individual or a family. It is part of the “American dream”to “be your own boss”, and being an entrepreneur is one of the most appealing ways to improve one’s economic future. The second American value I want to talk about is choice in education. Education is often regarded as the key to opportunity, including financial security. Americans take a pragmatic approach to learning, so what one learns outside the classroom through internships, extracurricular activities and the like is often considered as important as what is learned in the classroom. Consequently, lifelong learning is valued which results in many adult and continuing education programs. Americans have many choices. In school they decide their major field of study, perhaps with or without their parents’influence, and students even get to select some of their courses. These “elective”courses often confuse foreign students who may expect a more rigid curriculum. The belief that Americans should “be all that you can be”emanates from the heritage descended by early settlers. Since the majority of the early settlers were Protestant, they believed that they had a responsibility to improve themselves, to be the best they could be, to develop their talents, and to help their neighbors. That is to say, they believe that they have certain missions to fulfill in the world. These convictions have not only influenced our educational system, but are often reflected in U.S. foreign policy. Afterward, I’d like to say something about Americans’ concept of family. Another aspect of American society that may bewilder non-Americans is the family. The nuclear family structure is so alien to most cultures in the world that it is often misunderstood. The main purpose of the American family is to bring about the happiness of each individual family member. The traditional family values include love and respect for parents, as well as for all members of the family. However, the emphasis on the individual and his or her right to happiness can be confusing. It allows children to disagree, even argue with their parents. While in most other cultures such action would be a sign of disrespect and a lack of love, it is not the case in the United States. It is simply a part of developing one’s independence. Many foreign students and visitors are welcomed by host families, who invite them into their homes for dinner or to join in family activities. Frequently visitors are told to “make themselves at home” and, at times, may appear to be “left alone”. It certainly is nice to be treated as an honored guest in someone’s home, but one of the highest compliments that an American can give foreign guests is to treat them like members of the family, which means to give them the “freedom of the house” to do what they want, to “raid the refrigerator”on their own, or to have some quiet time alone. The last value I want to emphasize is privacy. Privacy is important to Americans. The notion of individual privacy may make it difficult to make friends. Because Americans respect one’s privacy, they may not go much beyond a friendly “hello”. Ironically, it is usually the foreigner who must be more assertive if a friendship is to develop. Finally, are you interested in the reasons that have shaped today’s American values? The rugged individualism valued by most Americans stems from our frontier heritage. For much of our country’s history, there was a frontier. That experience greatly influenced American attitudes. Early settlers had to be self-sufficient which forced them to be inventive. Their success gave them optimism about the future, a belief that problems could be solved. This positive spirit enables Americans to take risks in areas where others might only dream, resulting in tremendous advances in technology, health and science. The American frontier also created our heroes: the self-reliant, strong-willed, confident individual who preferred action to words and always tried to treat others fairly. Many of these characteristics are represented by the myth of the American cowboy, and the more modern versions personified in movies by John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and Sylvester Stallone. We can even look to “future” centuries and admire similar qualities in the heroes of the Star Trek and Star Wars movie series. OK, in a nutshell, no matter what changes the next century brings or whether you agree with American values, the opportunity tovisit the United States and to observe Americans first-hand is an experience well worth the effort. Be careful not to be ethnocentric, but to evaluate a culture by its own standards. Be aware that you’ll help shape American attitudes, just as they will influence you.American Values I.

We all experience stress, but we don’t all find the same situations stressful. Some people find flying in planes highly stressful, while others take up skydiving as a hobby. Some people thrive in fast-paced, deadline-heavy careers, while others prefer less stimulating work. Stress means different things for different people, and everyone has their own way of coping with it. Today, we’ll discuss stress and how to cope with stress. Stress is difficult to define because researchers approach it in different ways. Some use the term stress to refer to circumstances that threaten well-being or to refer to the response people have to threatening circumstances. Others think of stress as the process of evaluating and coping with threatening circumstances. Yet others use the term to refer to the experience of being threatened by taxing circumstances. Here, we will use the term stress in the last sense: the experience of being threatened by taxing circumstances. Researchers agree that stress is subjective. People don’t have the same response to the same circumstances. Instead, stress depends on how people appraise or evaluate environmental events. If people believe that a challenge will severely tax or exceed their resources, they experience stress. And that challenge can be called “a stressor”. Stressors are usually psychologically or physically demanding events or circumstances. Research links stressors to increased susceptibility to physical illnesses such as heart disease as well as to psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. Stressors don’t always increase the risk of illness. They tend to affect health more when they are chronic, highly disruptive, or perceived as uncontrollable. Researchers who study stress usually distinguish among three types of stressors:catastrophic events, such as large earthquakes, hurricanes, wars: major life changes, positive or negative, such as marriage, divorce, death of a parent, beginning a new job, starting college: minor hassles, such as standing in line, traffic jams, noisy environments. Exposure to difficult circumstances doesn’t produce stress by itself. Rather, stress occurs when people experience frustration, conflict, or pressure: Frustration is the experience of being thwarted when trying to achieve a goal. For example, a student worked very hard on a term paper with the hope of getting an A but ends up with a B. Conflict occurs when people have two or more incompatible desires or motives. Conflict can occur in three forms: 1. The approach-approach conflict, the least stressful, occurs when people try to choose between two desirable alternatives. For example, a student tries to decide between two interesting classes. 2. The approach-avoidance conflict, typically more stressful and quite common, occurs when people must decide whether to do something that has both positive and negative aspects. When a boy invites a girl to a party, she finds him attractive, but going to the party means she won’t have time to study for one of her final exams. The girl is facing the approach-avoidance conflict. 3. The avoidance-avoidance conflict, also typically stressful, occurs when people have to choose between two undesirable options. For example, a man might have to choose whether to keep his nice-looking car, which breaks down frequently, or buy a badly dented, but reliable, used one, because of his financial situation. The final internal source is pressure. It occurs when people feel compelled to behave in a particular way because of expectations set by themselves or others. For example, a high school student wants to be accepted by the popular crowd at school, so she tries hard to distance herself from her old friends because the popular crowd considers them geeky or undesirable. Then she is under great pressure. Now we’ve talked about stress and the sources of stress. Then how can we cope with it? There are many different coping strategies. Some common ones include: relaxation, humor, releasing pent-up emotions by talking or writing about them, exercise, getting social support, reappraising an event or changing perspective on the problem, spirituality and faith, problem solving, comparing oneself to others who are worse off, etc. These strategies can be very useful in alleviating stress, but they don’t work equally well for everyone. Some people cope more effectively than others. Some important factors can influence coping with stress. 1. Social support: Many studies show that having good social support correlates with better physical and mental health. Researchers believe that supportive social networks buffer the effects of stressful circumstances. In stressful situations, a social network can provide a person with care and comfort, access to helpful resources, and advice about how to evaluate and manage problems.2. Optimism: A tendency to expect positive outcomes, optimism is associated with better physical health. Optimistic people are more likely to find social support, appraise events in less threatening ways, take good care of themselves when sick, and use active coping strategies that focus on problem solving.3. Perceived control: The term “locus of control” refers to people’s perception of whether or not they have control over circumstances in their lives. People with an internal locus of control tend to believe they have control over their circumstances. People with an external locus ofcontrol tend to believe that fate, luck, or other people control circumstances. Having an internal locus of control is associated with better physical and emotional health. OK. That’s it for today’s lecture. I hope you can all learn something from it. Thank you for your time.StressI.

You have THIRTY seconds to preview the questions.(a thirty-second interval) Now listen to Part One of the interview.A: Good morning, Alicia.B: Good morning.A: Many people will be wondering why a tech blogger like myself is interviewing the “ Who’s the Boss?” actress, I know just how geeky(and I mean that in me best sense of the word of course)you are, but others might not. Can you tell us a little bit about your techy passions?B: I’m extremely tech curious. I’m inspired by technology the same way I’m inspired by art or a great piece of music. I love innovation and invention. I’m oddly motivated by great thinkers that look outside the box and become pioneers.A: You are one of the most influential people on Twitter, how do you explain your tremendous success on Twitter?B: Well ... thank you ... But I’m not sure I can explain it. I can only say that I’m dedicated to my Twitter community. And maybe the consistency and dedication has enabled my followers to trust what I’m sharing in my Twitter feed. I take it all to heart and maybe people can feel that. I realize that people have a choice to follow me or not and I try to show appreciation. I also just try to strike the balance of sharing a part of myself and relevant information.A: I might know one of the things that people love about you on Twitter: you are not like the other celebrities who don’t give the little people the time of day. You reply regularly to people with less than 10 followers. How do you stay so grounded in the world in which you live, i.e. show business?B: I stay grounded because I was raised that every single person on this planet is created equal and that family, love, and friendships are bigger than anything that goes on in show business. And I reply to people on Twitter because I’m not sure I understand the point of being on Twitter if you’re not going to interact with the community. In the 3-dimensional world, if someone pays you a compliment, any polite person shows gratitude and at least says “ thank you”. Why would it be different in the cyber world? If someone reaches out to me and it catches my eye, the least I can do is type a few words and click “ enter”. It takes seconds to put a smile on someone’s face. Why would anyone NOT want to do that? AND ... I’ve been on the other side! Ha!A: Besides tech and acting, you have been known to take interest in other industries such as fashion and baseball, can you tell us a little bit about those interests and when they started?B: I love sports! Like most little girls that love sports, I think it began with wanting to have passions in common with my dad and brother. About 4 years ago, I was at a Dodgers game and went into the stadium shop to find something I could buy to fly the team colors and show my team spirit. The only items available were boxy tee-shirts and baggy hoodies. And ... much to my dismay ... there was a lot of pink. I couldn’t find anything fashionable or flattering available for female sports fans. I went back tomy seat and thought to myself —if I was looking for quality female fan apparel, then surely other women were as well.This is the end of Part One of the interview. Questions 1 to 5 are based on what you have just heard.Question 1Who is Alicia?(Pause: 10 seconds)Question 2What’s NOT the reason for her success on Twitter?(Pause: 10 seconds)Question 3Why does Alicia mention “the 3-dimensional world”?(Pause: 10 seconds)Question 4According to Alicia, what is the point of being on Twitter?(Pause: 10 seconds)Question 5When did she start to take interest in other industries?16.A.An actress.B.A tech blogger.C.A fashion designer.D.An athlete.正确答案:A解析:根据原文中对其各项事业的访问,可以判定A选项为正确表述。

It was that strange hour in downtown New York when the workers were pouring homeward in the twilight. I marched among thousands of tired men and women whom the factory whistles had unyoked. They flowed in rivers through the clothing factory districts, then down along the avenues to the East Side.I met my father near Cooper Union. I recognized him, a hunched, frozen figure in an old overcoat standing by a banana cart. He looked so lonely, the tears came to my eyes. Then he saw me, and his face lit with his sad, beautiful smile -Charlie Chaplin''s smile."Arch, it''s Mikey," he said. "So you have sold your papers! Come and eat a banana."He offered me one. I refused it. I felt it crucial that my father sell his bananas, not give them away. He thought I was shy, and coaxed and joked with me, and made me eat the banana. It smelled of wet straw and snow."You haven''t sold many bananas today, pop," I said anxiously.He shrugged his shoulders."What can I do? No one seems to want them."It was true. The work crowds pushed home morosely over the pavements. The rusty sky darkened over New York building, the tall street lamps were lit, innumerable trucks, street cars andelevated trains clattered by. Nobody and nothing in the great city stopped for my father''s bananas."I ought to yell," said my father dolefully. "I ought to make a big noise like other peddlers, but it makes my throat sore. Anyway, I''m ashamed of yelling, it makes me feel like a fool. "I had eaten one of his bananas. My sick conscience told me that I ought to pay for it somehow. I must remain here and help my father."I''ll yell for you, pop," I volunteered."Arch, no," he said, "go home; you have worked enough today. Just tell momma I''ll be late."But I yelled and yelled. My father, standing by, spoke occasional words of praise, and said I was a wonderful yeller. Nobody else paid attention. The workers drifted past us wearily, endlessly; a defeated army wrapped in dreams of home. Elevated trains crashed; the Cooper Union clock burned above us; the sky grew black, the wind poured, the slush burned through our shoes. There were thousands of strange, silent figures pouring over the sidewalks in snow. None of them stopped to buy bananas. I yelled and yelled, nobody listened.My father tried to stop me at last. "Nu," he said smiling to console me, "that was wonderful yelling. Mikey. But it''s plain we are unlucky today! Let''s go home."I was frantic, and almost in tears. I insisted on keeping up my desperate yells. But at last my father persuaded me to leave with him.11.

Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.部分译文:Accomplished men of all ages treat their lives very seriously. As long as they are living, they always labor, work, and study as hard as possible, unwilling to spend time in vain, let alone waste even a single moment of their lives.SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESETranslate the following underlined part of the text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.It is simple enough to say that since books have classes fiction, biography,poetry—we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few peopleask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconception when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellowworker and accomplice.If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible finess, from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite.。
