《英语记忆》
一、大浪淘沙法
如果你的目标是一天记住100个单词,那么所需背诵的单词数量最好要达到500个。因为人的记忆力是有限的,所以不要指望只背 20个单词,就能记住全部并且永远不会忘记。将每天背诵的数量定在500个,虽然你实际记住的也许只有100个,但是这100个一定是你记得最牢的。
把没有记住的单词继续放到第二天的计划中,这样天天坚持,就会看到成效。这个方法好比用筛子过滤沙砾,虽然漏掉的是大多数,但剩下的却是精华。要在短时间内背出大量的单词,必须“以量取胜”,持之以恒。
二、词根词缀法
这个方法基于英语单词的构词法,靠分解单词来记忆。每个英语单词都可以分解成一个核心词根,和前缀或后缀。例如在view(看法、景色)这个单词的基础上,加上表示“再一次”的前缀re,就是“复习”的意思;加上表示“人物”的后缀er,就有“观众、探视器”等的意思。
这是一种比较高效率的记忆方法,认识一个词缀就会帮助你认识很多单词,做到举一反
三。但前提是,你必须先学习和掌握一定的词根、词缀的意义。
三、循环往复法
把所要背的单词分组,比如每组100个,共50组。第一天,背第一组的100个;第二天不要急着前行,先用比前一天快一倍的速度把第一组的单词过一遍,然后再看第二组的单词;几天以后再复习第一天的单词,以此类推。
这样做虽然可能影响背单词的进度,但能有效地巩固所学的内容,以“滚雪球”的方式加深记忆。
人会遗忘,最好的方法是在你正要遗忘的时候复习一下,这相当于对原来记忆进行刺激,会使快要忘记的东西记得很牢。这个方法因人而异,你可以根据自己的记忆力情况,决定复习的周期。如果怕雪球越滚越大,到后来每天的任务越来越艰巨,你也可以先把要背的所有单词都背一遍,采取每第二天只复习前一天的内容方法,等全部背完一遍后再从头来第二遍。
四、狂读狂写法
这是依靠重复某种生理活动来强迫大脑认知的方法,对于大多数人来说是有效的。当然
每个人的习惯各有不同,有的喜好大声朗读所背单词,有的钟爱在白纸上边背边写所需记忆的单词,更有甚者把单词录成卡带,每日听之方可入眠。真可谓“单词人人会背,各有巧妙不同”。
五、分类归总法
所谓物以类聚、人以群分,单词也有它的家族史与裙带关系。常用的分类方法包括:同义词与反义词分类,种属特性分类,类比分类等等。例如,表示“笑”的单词通常有:chortle(开心地笑),chuckle(轻声地笑),guffaw(哄堂大笑),jeer(嘲笑),snigger(窃笑),simper(傻笑)等等。对这种“单词家族”的分门别类,有利于掌握成片单词以及其意义差别,不失为一种好的方法。
六、做题看报法
对于许多学生朋友来说,背单词不只是为提高词汇量,而更多的是为了应对考试。无论是参加英语四、六级,还是TOEFL或者 GRE,检验英语水平的试金石还在于对词汇的运用与解读能力。因此通过大量地接触真题与模拟题,我们才能知道每个单词的“精华”在哪里,从而体会到背单词的乐趣。
此外,另一种有效的检验方法就是通过阅读英文书籍、报刊,来寻找记忆中“似曾相识”的单词。要想所背的单词“刻骨铭心”,还是要靠实践、记忆单词双管齐下,大量的背诵必须和平时的阅读、写作、口语联系起来。
七、创意联想法
联想的方法有很多,一般可以从意思上、读音上或者形象上联想。例如,vernal(春天的)和venial(可宽恕的),这两个单词长得很像,读音也相似,惟一的区别在于前者有个“r”,后者有个“i”。
根据意思,不妨可以这样想,“r”很像一片小树叶,自然是和春天有关;而“i”像个人,是人自然会犯错,就和“宽恕”的意义联系了起来。这种方法有时看来“牵强附会”,但对于少数实在记不住的单词,不妨发挥创意,根据自己的习惯和文化背景联想记忆,也会使枯燥的背诵有了乐趣。
八、快速扫视法
把每天要背的单词写在纸上,左边写英文,右边写中文意思。先扫视一遍,然后遮住中
文意思,进行回忆,没有记住的就做个记号。第二遍只扫视有记号的,然后遮住中文意思,再回忆,没有记住的再做记号。一直到所有单词都记住为止。那些记号最多的单词也就是最难的,今后复习时可以作为重点。这种方法还有一个好处,你可以先从英文背中文意思,然后可以反过来,看着中文回忆英文拼写。
齐心学习法特别提醒
每天背诵的数量和时间要根据自己的具体情况定,背诵要选择一天中头脑清晰、精力充沛的时候进行。此外,记住背单词的三大宗旨:一是贵在坚持;二是要遵循人的记忆规律,循环复习比一次性记忆有效;三,背诵的词汇只有真正运用到听、说、读、写各方面,才算“修成正果”。以上方法,你可以取长补短、综合运用;选择适合自己的方法最重要。

回忆学习英语的历程
作者: Crest
日期: 2005-01-31
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Path on English Study
我是大学毕业以后,在舌头长硬了以后才来美国的,所以和开复这样从小来美国的不能比。开复的英语是土生土长,我们只能亦步亦趋地模仿。
回忆学习英语的历程中,和其他学问一样,良师最重要。我是从小学六年级开始学英语的。我的英语学习中碰到了四个良师。
第一个良师是我的初中同桌。当时英语老师要求我们每天写一篇小文章。我每天一早就把写好的小文章拿给我的同桌看(他当时在英语上通过自学很领先),让他改。 这个收获很不小。所以今天我依然鼓励同学们写一些小文章让英语好的
人改。开复论坛的英语教是个很好的场所。由于工作繁忙,我每天不能改很多文章,但是我会
坚持每天首先光顾英语角,至少回一贴或改一篇文章。
第二个良师是我的初中英语老师。她在我们学习音标的时候,让每一位同学到她那里纠正发音,直到每一个音标都念准为止。由于她的发音很准,这是我终身受益。
第三个良师是我妻子。她是英文科班出生,经常取笑我英语的蹩脚,尤其是在写上面。
第四个良师是电视机。在来美国以前,我就喜欢看原版电视节目。来美国以后,发现虽然有一定的语言环境,但是社交的范围也多限于中国人。所以,电视机还是最好的学习英语的工具。
以上良师中,并不是每个人都能够像我这样幸运地拥有,但是,找一个能够替你改英文的,和电视上的英语节目,还是比较能够找到的条件。
以下是我在论坛上关于学习英语的感想,希望能够对你有帮助(多谢yun斑竹的搜集)。另外,我觉得zhangbw的猜功很厉害,能猜人的男女,年龄,专业等等。zhangbw的英语学得也很好,再次恭候他的学习心得。
其实两者并不冲突。如果你离四级和六集还有相当长的一段时间,那你就应该从根本上来学习英语:增加阅读量,多写英语文章然后让别人来改,多听英语的磁带和广
播电视,多参加英语的对话。用真正学习语言的方法来学习英语,然后再四六级考试前稍微做一些模拟试题,过四六级应该是很轻松的事情。当然,如果你以前没有
正确的英语学习方法,现在已经临考,那么我建议你做大量的习题,并且对坐过的习题有些总结。
另外,就英语的学习方法,我有些建议:
1)不要相信市面上那种捷径,疯狂,事半功倍的书籍,学习英语只能脚踏实地,水滴石穿;
2)不要离开例句和文章学习英语。有不少英语书会罗列单词或词组。但是,在记忆这些单词和词组的时候,一定不要离开例句。最好的办法是,例句也不够,要放到文章中去学习;
3)
学习单词的时候不要期望一下子把一个单词的用法和多重含义一下子都
记住。这是记不住的。可以把每个单词和词组在不同环境中的用法和含义逐渐记住。比如,今
天在文章中看到一个含义,就记住这个含义和用法。等到明天看到了另外一篇文章中不同的用法和含义,在记住那种新的含义;
4)阅读,复述,模仿写作。这是一个很好的良性循环。光读不用,新的句型,词组,单词记不住;光用不读,那是闭门造车,炒冷饭;
5)抓住一切机会让英语比你好的人提出你的英语中的问题,不要害羞,写错说错是很正常的事情;
我认为最大中国英语教育的不足是没有好的老师。不是说老师人不好,但是英语水平不够,尤其在听和说方面。同时,很多老师不知道怎样激发学生的兴趣。
在环境条件不好的情况下,兴趣就起到了为自己创造条件关键性的作用。我在初,高中的时候就十分喜欢英语,从FOLLOW-ME,
FOLLOW-THROUGH,
到卡特琳娜计划,鹰冠庄园,凡是电视上有的教学或原版电视,我都要看。很多看不懂,但是时常为看懂的兴奋不已,而且以反复模仿发音和句型为乐。这样为自己
创造了一个语境,课内的语法题和完形填空之类就成了小菜一碟。
有了兴趣,你会发现学习原来并不那么累。找到兴趣的最好办法,是让英语为你带来考试以外的收获,比如,你可以买些较简单的英文杂志或报纸,定期收看电视上有一定难度的教学或原版电视。一开始,可能很难看懂或听懂,但是时间长了,你不但会听懂看懂更多,而且会逐渐入迷的。
这里罗列一些我在美国的学校和公司里看到的一些中国留学生或员工的口语问题。
1)发音错误
单词的发音是根本。有些人单词发音错误或不准,导致英语很难被听懂。学好口语的第一步是找高手校正所有的音标发音,做到只要一查字典,就能够准确地读出一个
单词。另外一个途径就是学会比较和辨别别人的发音和自己的发音。我常见到一些人明明听到美国人读同一个单词和自己读得不一样,但是就是不介意按自己的方法
错到底。不懂得细心观察比较,是学不好英语的。当然,发音准确不代表完全没有口音(当然没有口音更好)。
2)语法错误
有人说学好英语口语就是要多说。我认为这还不够。语法的基础很重要。美国的文盲可以不会写英语,但是英语说得很流利。中国长大的学生很难办到这点,因为我们
没有环境。所以掌握词语的搭配,句型,时态很重要。至今我在微软还看到有些中国员工说话do, does, did
不分。如果这些基本的语言架构都不能掌握,想说好英语是很困难的。
3)Chinglish
想学好英语口语就
要学会用英语思维。我看到不少中国学生先想中文,然后套成英语。这样的英语听上去很滑稽。我的一个原则就是不肯定是地道英语的话不说。一开始,这会局限我
的表达能力。但是,这就形成一种压力,促使我去验证某种说法究竟是否地道。这也促使我去留意周围的美国人是如何表达一些想法的,然后进行模仿。另外,要扩
大阅读量。在阅读的时候就做个有心人,记住可以转化为自己口语表达的讲法或者句型。学语言就是一种模仿。有太多的创意不好。
4)把速度降下来
一些中国留学生或员工的口语说得很快,以为这就是流利。美国人有很多连读。这不是一下子能够学会或掌握的。但是连读不是快读。读得很快,把一些该发的音都吃掉,会影响听众的理解效果。一开始要说得慢一些,把一字一句都说清楚,把一些基本的发音发清楚。在这个基础上再训练连读。
5)表达的多样化
有些人表达一个意思,只能用一种方法。这一定程度上是一种惰性。比如,我发现很多中国学生或员工在想表达“今天天气很热,是吧?”的时候只会说:“It's very warm, right?" 却不会说:“It's very warm, isn't it?". 其实反义疑问句在初中就学过了,但是会用的中国学生不多。所以,在口语到达一定水平以后,就要钻研如何避免一种单调的表达方法,如何使用更
加贴切的表达方法。
语言的学习是一种输入输出的反馈系统。输入包括做语法题,阅读英语文章,听别人说英语,看原版电影,听英文广
播,等等。输出是你自己说英语,写英语文章。一个好的反馈系统会对输入进行整理,辨别,和自己比较,模仿。很多中国学生或员工的问题是没有建立起这个有效
的反馈系统。题做了很多,英语文章看了不少,英语广播听了不少,但是在说和用时还是我行我素。如何建立和完善这样一个反馈系统,做到学以致用,是学好英 语,尤其是口语的关键。
记单词就像认识人,一回生,二回熟。第一次见面,可能只记得个脸,记不住名字。这无妨。第二次见面,记住了
名字,但不知其脾性。这也无妨。第三次见面,可能略知其性格,但不知其底细。这还是无妨。以后见面多了,就可能逐渐了解他的方方面面,甚至交上朋友。如果
第一次见面,就要对方自报家门,性格,以及全部底细;一来是勉强了对方,二来也记不住。所以,增加见面交往的机会十分重要。
所以说要多看书。同时,猜不猜,略不略过不懂的词,以不同场合而异。如果我在阅读工作中的文件,我不会逐词逐句地查字典,因为那太慢。如果是在读闲书,那我会搞清楚每个词的意思。

《2013英语试题,回忆版~》
四川大学2013年考博英语试题,回忆版~ Passage one
2010年英语专业四级考试真题
Over the past several decades, the U.S., Canada, and Europe have received a great deal of media and even research attention over unusual phenomena and unsolved mysteries. These include UFOs as well as sightings and encounters with "nonhuman creatures" such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. Only recently has Latin America begun to receive some attention as well. Although the mysteries of the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca civilizations have been known for centuries, now the public is also becoming aware of unusual, paranormal phenomena in countries such as Peru.
The Nazca "lines" of Peru were discovered in the 1930s. These lines are deeply carved into a flat, stony plain, and form about 300 intricate pictures of animals such as birds, a monkey, and a lizard. Seen at ground level, the designs are a jumbled senseless mess. The images are so large that they can only be viewed at a height of 1,000 feet - meaning from an aircraft. Yet there were no aircraft in 300 B.C., when it is judged the designs were made. Nor were there then, or are there now, any nearby mountain ranges from which to view them. So how and why did the native people of Nazca create these marvelous designs? One answer appeared in 1969, when the German researcher and writer Erich von Daniken proposed that the lines were drawn by extraterrestrials as runways for their aircraft. The scientific community did not take long to scoffat and abandon von Daniken's theory. Over the years several other theories have been put forth, but none has been accepted by the scientific community.
Today there is a new and heightened interest in the Nazca lines. It is a direct result of the creation of the Internet. Currently there are over 60 sites dedicated to this mystery from Latin America's past, and even respected scientists have joined the discussion through e-mail and chat rooms.
Will the Internet help explain these unsolved mysteries? Perhaps it is a step in the right direction.
86. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
A. Latin America has long received attention for unusual phenomena.
B. Public attention is now directed towards countries like Peru.
C. Public interest usually focuses on North America and Europe.
D. Some ancient civilizations have unsolved mysteries.
87. According to the passage, the Nazca lines were found
A. in mountains.
B. in stones.
C. on animals.
D. on a plain.
88. We can infer from the passage that the higher the lines are seen, the ____ the images they present.
A. smaller
B. larger
C. clearer
D. brighter
89. There has been increasing interest in the Nazca lines mainly because of
A. the participation of scientists.
B. the emergence of the lnternet.
C. the birth of new theories.
D. the interest in the Internet.
90. The author is ____ about the role of the lnternet in solving mysteries.
A. cautious
B. pessimistic
C. uncertain
D. optimistic
答案:86. A Latin Amercia has long received attention
87. D on a plain
88. C clearer
89. B the emergence of the internet
90. D optimistic

Social circumstances in Early Modern England mostly served to repress women’s voices. Patriarchal culture and institutions constructed them as chaste, silent, obedient, and subordinate. At the beginning of the 17th century, the ideology of patriarchy, political absolutism, and gender hierarchy were reaffirmed powerfully by King James in The Trew Law of Free Monarchie and the Basilikon Doron; by that ideology the absolute power of God the supreme patriarch was seen to be imaged in the absolute monarch of the state and in the husband and father of a family. Accordingly, a woman’s subjection, first to her father and then to her husband, imaged the subjection of English people to their monarch, and of all Christians to God. Also, the period saw an outpouring of repressive or overtly misogynist sermons, tracts, and plays, detailing women’s physical and mental defects, spiritual evils, rebelliousness, shrewish ness, and natural inferiority to men.
Yet some social and cultural conditions served to empower women. During the Elizabethan era (1558—1603) the culture was dominated by a powerful Queen, who provided an impressive female example though she left scant cultural space for other women. Elizabethan women writers began to produce original texts but were occupied chiefly with translation. In the 17th century, however, various circumstances enabled women to write original texts in some numbers. For one thing, some counterweight to patriarchy was provided by female communities—mothers and daughters, extended kinship networks, close female friends, the separate court of Queen Anne (King James’ consort) and her often oppositional masques and political activities. For another, most of these women had a reasonably good education (modern languages, history, literature, religion, music, occasionally Latin) and some apparently found in romances and histories more expansive terms for imagining women’s lives. Also, representation of vigorous and rebellious female characters in literature and especially on the stage no doubt helped to undermine any monolithic social construct of women’s mature and role.
Most important, perhaps, was the radical potential inherent in the Protestant insistence on every Christian’s immediate relationship with God and primary responsibility to follow his or her individual conscience. There is plenty of support in St Paul’s epistles and elsewhere in the Bible for patriarchy and a wife’s subjection to her husband, but some texts (notably Galatians 3:28)
inscribe a very different politics, promoting women’s spiritual equality: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Jesus Christ.” Such texts encouraged some women to claim the support of God the supreme patriarch against the various earthly patriarchs who claimed to stand toward them in his stead.
There is also the gap or slippage between ideology and common experience. English women throughout the 17th century exercised a good deal of accrual power: as managers of estates in their husbands’ absences at court or on military and diplomatic missions; as members of guilds; as wives and mothers who apex during the English Civil War and Interregnum (1640-60) as the execution of the King and the attendant disruption of social hierarchies led many women to seize new roles—as preachers, as prophetesses, as deputies for exiled royalist husbands, as writers of religious and political tracts.

答案祥解
1. A. 17世纪英国妇女地位。见上面文章大意。
B. 妇女服从于家族制。 D. 17世纪妇女的反抗,都是A.内容中的一部分,不能作为最佳标题。 C. 17世纪英国社会形式,只能作为背景出现。
2. C. 她没有做什么。英女皇伊丽莎白在位时期间在文化上并没有妇女做过什么。这在第二段讲得很清楚。“伊丽莎白统治时期(1558——1603),文化领域为强有里女皇所控制,她本人确实树立了令人难忘的妇女形象,可是她并没有为其它妇女能够创作一些东西。”见前面列出之原因和下一道题的A. B. C.
3. D. 伊丽莎白女皇的政治活动。这文内没有提及。
A. 妇女亲情网对家长制进行抗衡。 B. 安娜女皇的政治活动。 C. 大多数妇女都受过良好教育。这三项在第二段中都提到。“首先,妇女亲情关系,如母亲,女儿,他们的亲戚网,好友;安娜女皇单独的宫殿,她那对立的化装舞会和政治活动都和族长制予以抗衡。”
4. B. 除了某些文本外,它也要求妇女服从。第一段,见上述内容。第三段集中论述这一点。“也许,最重要的是基督教固有潜在激进性。它坚持主张每个基督徒和上帝的直接关系,坚持人首先责任是服从她或他的良知。在圣•保罗使徒书以及在别的圣经中有许多对家长制,
妻子对丈夫的服从支持。可是有些文本镌刻着一种完全不同的政治观点,鼓吹妇女精神平等:”人没有犹太和希腊之分,没有束缚或自由之分,没有男女之分,因为在耶酥基督面前,你们都是一样。“
A. 它什么也没有做。不对。 C. 它支持妇女。也不对,只有某些版本支持。 D. 它求助于上帝。它借上帝之名压制妇女。第一段:“因此,妇女首先服从父亲,然后服从丈夫,体现了(象征)英国人民服从他们的君主,所有基督徒服从上帝。” 3
(07)专四真题
I am afraid to sleep. I have been afraid to sleep for the last few weeks. I am so tired that, finally, I do sleep, but only for a few minutes. It is not a bad dream that wakes me ; it is the reality I took with me into sleep . I try to think of something else.Immediately the woman in the marketplace comes into my mind.
I was on my way to dinner last night when I saw her . She was selling skirts. She moved with the same ease and loveliness I often saw in the women of Laos. Her long black hair was as shiny as the black silk of the skirts she was selling . In her hair, she wore three silk ribbons, blue ,green, and white. They reminded me of my childhood and how my girlfriends and I used to spend hours braiding ribbons into our hair.
I don’t know the word for “ribbons”, so I put my hand to my own hair and , with three fingers against my head , I looked at her ribbons and said “Beautiful.” She lowered her eyes and said nothing. I wasn’t sure if she understood me (I don’t speak Laotian very well).
I looked back down at the skirts. They had designs on them: squares and triangles and circles of pink and green silk. They were very pretty. I decided to buy one of those skirts, and I began to bargain with her over the price. It is the custom to bargain in Asia. In Laos bargaining is done in soft voices and easy moves with the sort of quiet peacefulness.
She smiled, more with her eyes than with her lips. She was pleased by the few words I was able to say in her language, although they were mostly numbers, and she saw that I understood something about the soft playfulness of bargaining. We shook our heads in disagreement over the price; then, immediately, we made another offer and then another shake of the head. She was so pleased that unexpectedly, she accepted the last offer I made. But it was too soon. The price was too low. She was being too generous and wouldn’t make enough money. I moved quickly and picked up two more skirts and paid for all three at the price set; that way I was able to pay her three times as much before she had a chance to lower the price for the larger purchase. She smiled openly then, and, for the first time in months, my spirit lifted. I almost felt happy.
The feeling stayed with me while she wrapped the skirts in a newspaper and handed them to me. When I left, though, the feeling left, too. It was as though it stayed behind in marketplace. I left tears in my throat. I wanted to cry. I didn’t , of course.
I have learned to defend myself against what is hard; without knowing it, I have also learned to defend myself against what is soft and what should be easy.
I get up, light a candle and want to look at the skirts. They are still in the newspaper that the woman wrapped them in. I remove the paper, and raise the skirts up to look at them again before I pack them. Something falls to floor. I reach down and feel something cool in my hand. I move close to the candlelight to see what I have. There are five long silk ribbons in my hand, all different colors. The woman in the marketplace! She has given these ribbons to me!
There is no defense against a generous spirit, and this time I cry, and very hard, as if I could
make up for all the months that I didn’t cry.
89. According to the writer, the woman in the marketplace ____B____ .
A. refused to speak to her.
B. was pleasant and attractive.
C. was selling skirts and ribbons.
D. recognized her immediately.
解析:B。根据第3段对她的细节描写。 “She moved with the same ease and loveliness … Her long black hair was as shiny as the black silk of the skirts she was selling . In her hair, she wore three silk ribbons, blue ,green, and white. They reminded me of my childhood and how my girlfriends and I used to spend hours braiding ribbons into our hair.” 由此可见,对她的印象是愉快的。
90. Which of the following in NOT correct? ____A____
A. The writer was not used to bargaining.
B. People in Asia always bargain when buying things.
