新东方胡文宁托福资料汇总
我是这样背单词的从一上大学起,我就执着地认为,英语问题就是单词问题。
你看,无论是精读还是泛读,大量的生词扑面而来,我想,如果这些单词都认识的话,一切不都迎刃而解了吗?刚开始背单词,我也不得其法,功夫下了不少,但是效果甚微。
又发现班里有些同学,似乎很容易地就记住了许多单词,心里有些懊恼,常想,上天不公啊,为何我的记忆力就如此这般地差。
我打小memory就很poor, 常为老师和同学所取笑,早已习以为常。
所以在中学时,对历史和地理课一筹莫展,记不住啊。
但我政治总是能考得很高,因为我很重视,考前的几天我反复背诵,直到记住为止,此所谓“驽马十驾,功在不舍”。
政治的高分给了我许多信心,让我明白意志力比记忆力更重要刚上大一,我又以这种锲而不舍的精神向单词关发起了冲锋,结果是屡背屡忘,常令人沮丧不已。
多少次,我孤独地望着窗外,觉得英语单词仿佛是遥远天际的一片片云朵,让我可望而不可即。
曾国藩“屡败屡战”的故事激励了我,也启发了我。
做任何事都要讲方法,讲策略,才能达到事半功倍的成效。
后来我就摸索出了一种独特的方法,不妨就叫“胡氏超级背单词法”。
经过我自己的亲身实践,感到效果奇佳,短短几个月时间内,让我的单词量剧增。
我常做这样的类比:李四光的新理论摘掉了中国贫油国的帽子,而我的超级单词法我成为当时数学系的walking dictionary。
在这里,我把该方法详细描绘如下,希望大家能从中有所受益。
现要声明一下,该方法不适合记忆力好的朋友,memory犹如陈寅恪、钱钟书者,就不必浪费你的眼神。
而对于记忆力差的人,不啻是一大福音;而且记忆力越差,就越能体现方法之功用。
胡氏超级背单词法1. 每天记忆单词的最佳量应在200 到 300之间2. 先选择一本托福/GRE单词书,然后以一周为一个单位,进行记忆3. 周一看每页的第一个单词,换句话说要翻200页才能完成记忆200个单词任务量4. 翻页的速度要快,每个单词就是扫一眼,不能留恋。

托福考试辅导:名师阅读讲义(3)
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power,Line women were not considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet wrote some (5) significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions.During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books. (10) Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources. During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of (15) history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local women's organizations compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored. These sources form the core of the two greatest collections of women's history in the United States; one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the (20) Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later generations of historians. Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth century, most of the writing about women conformed to the "great women" theory of history, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on "great (25) men." To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies. or else important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women's right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman. The lives of ordinary people (30) continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published. 9. In the last paragraph, the author mentions all of the following as possible roles of nineteenth-century "great women" EXCEPT (A) authors (B) reformers (C) activists for women's rights (D) politicians 答案:D Potash (the old name for potassium carbonate) is one of the two alkalis (the other being soda, sodium carbonate) that were used from remote antiquity in the making of glass, and from the early Middle Ages in the making of soap: the former being the Line product of heating a mixture of alkali and sand, the latter a product of alkali and (5) vegetable oil. Their importance in the communities of colonial North America need hardly be stressed.Potash and soda are not interchangeable for all purposes, but for glass-or soap-making either would do. Soda was obtained largely from the ashes of certain Mediterranean sea plants, potash from those of inland vegetation. Hence potash was (10) more familiar to the early European settlers of the North American continent. The settlement at Jamestown in Virginia was in many ways a microcosm of the economy of colonial North America, and potash was one of its first concerns. It was required for the glassworks, the first factory in the British colonies, and was produced in sufficient quantity to permit the inclusion of potash in the first cargo shipped out of (15) Jamestown. The second ship to arrive in the settlement from England included among its passengers experts in potash making. The method of making potash was simple enough. Logs were piled up and burned in the open, and the ashes collected. The ashes were placed in a barrel with holes in the bottom, and water was poured over them. The solution draining from the barrel was (20) boiled down in iron kettles. The resulting mass was further heated to fuse the mass into what was called potash. In North America, potash making quickly became an adjunct to the clearing of land for agriculture, for it was estimated that as much as half the cost of clearing land could be recovered by the sale of potash. Some potash was exported from Maine and New (25) Hampshire in the seventeenth century, but the market turned out to be mainly domestic, consisting mostly of shipments from the northern to the southern colonies. For despite the beginning of the trade at Jamestown and such encouragements as a series of acts "to encourage the making of potash," beginning in 1707 in South Carolina, the softwoods in the South proved to be poor sources of the substance. 1. What aspect of potash does the passage mainly discuss? (A) How it was made (B) Its value as a product for export (C) How it differs from other alkalis (D) Its importance in colonial North America 答案:C 2. All of the following statements are true of both potash and soda EXPECT: (A) They are alkalis. (B) They are made from sea plants. (C) They are used in making soap. (D) They are used in making glass. 答案:B 7. According to paragraph 4, all of following were needed for making potash EXCEPT (A) wood (B) fire (C) sand (D) water 答案:C。

托福阅读句子要点题把握逻辑关系稳抓同义替换
托福阅读句子要点题把握逻辑关系稳抓同义替换托福阅读句子要点题:把握逻辑关系,稳抓同义替换托福阅读句子要点题又称托福阅读句子简化题,顾名思义是对长难句的简化筛出句子最精华的要点,一般出题形式是在文章中高亮标示出一个句子,要求考生选择与原文基本信息最接近的选项,这类题目的提问方式一般为:“Which is the following best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence? Incorrect answer choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.”句子简化题的出题思路一般分为两类:一是对长难句的化繁为简,即原句比较长,逻辑关系复杂,选项只保留了原句的主要信息,而省略了原句的次要信息(如同位语、例子)等;二是对相对简单的句子的同义改写,即原句难度不大,逻辑关系简单,选项是原句的同义改写。
从做题方法上来说,对于第二种出题思路的题目,考生应该采用通读的办法,在理解原句意思的基础上再答题。
而针对第一种出题思路的题目,考生一般把握住原句的几个关键点就可以见微知著,找到破句子简化题的良方。
对于句子简化题,有一些题目如果句子不长,我们做题的基本原则就是:同义替换。
找到原句中的关键词在选项当中进行同义替换。
如:In evolutionary history, the development of language set humans apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Which sentence below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.A. Humans evolved as the most powerful species after they are developed language.B. The creation of human language has its origins in the language of animals.C. The emergence of language distinguished early humans from other animals.D. Humans and animals developed completed different systems of communication.先来看题干:Which sentence below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.该题要求从选项中选择一个能够表达原文阴影句子核心信息的句子。

第一部分 托福阅读总论 源自1、 享受阅读 Of Studies by Francis Bacon
Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgement and disposition of business. For expert can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament is affectation; to make judgment wholly by

There is little doubt, however, that desertification in most areas results primarily from human activities rather than natural processes. The semiarid lands bordering the deserts exist in a delicate ecological balance and are limited in their potential to adjust to increased environmental pressures.7. As a famous woman, Fengjie’s disposition has been marked as extreme self-confidence.

This gamma radiation is absorbed by atoms inside the Sun, to be re-emitted at slightly longer wavelengths. This radiation, in its turn, is absorbed and re-emitted. As the energy filters through the layers of the solar interior, it passes through the x-ray part of the spectrum, eventually becoming light. At this stage, it has reached what we call the solar surface, and can escape into space, without being absorbed further by solar atoms. A very small fraction of the Sun's light and heat is emitted in such directions that, after passing unhindered through interplanetary space, it hits the Earth.2.Biological SciencesMolt of the flight feathers is the most highly organized part of the process. Some species, for example, begin by dropping the outermost primary feathers on each side (to retain balance in the air) and wait until the replacement feathers are about one-third grown before shedding the next outermost, and so on. Others always start with the innermost primary feathers and work outward. Yet other species begin in the middle and work outward on both sides. Most ducks shed their wing feathers at once, and remain flightless for two or three weeks while the replacement feathers grow.3.Arts and American HistoryThe American Revolution was not a revolution in the sense of a radical or total change. It was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations. Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. What happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.4.Social SciencesThe term “satellite city”is used to describe the relationship between a large city and neighboring smaller cities and towns that are economically dependent upon it. Satellite cities may be collection and distribution points in the commercial linkages of a trading metropolis, or they may be manufacturing or mining centers existing with one industry economics as the creatures of some nearby center. This latter form is what is generally meant when one uses the term "satellite city." Taken in this sense, nineteenth - century Chicopee and Lowell, Massachusetts, were satellites of Boston. Both were mill towns created by Boston investors to serve the economy of that New England metropolis.5.HumanitiesThe most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970's was the enthusiasm for refurbishing older buildings. Obviously, this was not an entirely new phenomenon. What is new is the wholesale interest in reusing the past, in recycling, in adaptive rehabilitation. A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardell Square in San Francisco, proved their financial viability in the 1960's, but it was in the 1970’s. with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciation, as well as growing interest in ecology issues, that recycling became a major factor on the urban scene.6.Biography and othersThough Faulkner was praised by some critics and reviewers during the first part of his career, his novels did not sell well and he was considered a fairly marginal author. For the first few decades of his career, he made his living writing magazine articles and working as a screenwriter rather than as a novelist. Throughout this period, he continued to write, though his novels, sometimes noted for the stirring portrait that they presented of life in the post-Civil War South, were generally relegated to the category of strictly regional writing and were not widely appreciated.Recommended Solution•Old TOEFL Actual V ocabulary (1st time)•Old TOEFL Reading Passage (2nd time)•Requirement:• 1.Mark the frequent academic words• 2.Write down all these words in specific category and proper notebook√correlative words•The importance of CW•Table of CW1.3 Sentence• 1.3.1 Parallel Constructions• 1.3.2Parenthetical sentence• 1.3.3Phrases• 1.3.4Appositons• 1.3.5Attributive clauses• 1.3.6Complex sentences分句:包含一个主语和一个谓语。
