英語四級考試西南師范大學出版社專項訓練
1、夯實基礎(4-5月份)
四級所需掌握的詞彙量為4000左右,若一天記憶100個單詞左右,那麼一個多月時間正好可以完成。為熟悉記憶,當天所記單詞必須在第二天、第三天進行復習,依次循環。注意要深刻理解詞彙,這樣反復記憶的次數就可以降低,那那怪大大提升復習效率。
那麼你可以利用真題達到這一點。當下解析比較詳細的真題資料就是巨微英語《四級真題/逐句精解》了,書中逐句精解單詞和語法知識,基本上不用查閱字典,就可以進行學習單詞。通過一篇文章,可以學到30-40個詞彙。
如若時間較緊,可用巨微英語方便攜帶的2000核心詞彙小冊子復習重點,提升自己的復習效率。
注意:詞彙是通過考試最重要的環節,一定要堅持。
2、專項訓練(5-6月)
①閱讀
一般來說閱讀有四種題型:事實細節題、詞義及語義判斷題、推理判斷題、主旨大意題和觀點態度題。三十天分別練習這四種類型的閱讀題,即一種題型一周(如練習書中分類不同則按不同分類分別練習)。
每天完成三篇,分為三個階段:①掐表完成閱讀題,7、8分鍾一篇最好;②檢查對照答案,找出錯題錯在哪裡;③細讀,總結閱讀技巧並找出不會的四級詞彙。
對照答案學習技巧可以直接用巨微英語中的小冊子學習。其系統解析了閱讀各個題型的做題技巧,還給出了實例剖可以鞏固學習。
②聽力
四級聽力有三種題型。短篇新聞、長對話、篇章。在第一階段每七天專項練習一種題型。每天聽30分鍾。設定幾篇為一個部分,先全部聽完,再檢查答案,最後將錯誤的多聽幾遍並找出原文里不會的生詞,全部背下來。最後還可以用巨微英語中送的聽力改革新題型進行專訓,建議多做幾遍。
③翻譯
每天做兩段。並閱讀相應量的翻譯材料,要偏向中國文化。一些比較好的譯文也可以背誦,書中的20篇經典翻譯就可以直接拿來背誦學習。
④寫作
每兩天一篇。盡量多練習各種類型,並使用模板句型進行訓練。寫得時候不要查閱生詞,寫完被批改後,可自行再修改閱讀。
3、模擬沖刺(6月至考前)
①此階段為考前練習沖刺階段,建議大家使用真題,不要使用模擬題。每天應完成真題1至2套。
②如在模擬初期發現有特別薄弱環節,應專門加強此題型的練習。
③繼續閱讀翻譯材料。
④開始背誦作文模板,我當時把書中送的20篇押題寫作的範文背了下來。此外還注意收集好的寫作語料,考試的時候套用模板把好的語料融入進去,作文分數不低呢。
⑵ 大學四級考試閱讀訓練題及答案
英語閱讀是英語四級考試中的重要考察能力之一,只有做好閱讀部分的題目才能提高四級考試的成績。下面我為大家帶來大學四級考試閱讀訓練題,供考生備考練習。
大學四級考試閱讀訓練題***一***
According to the dictionary definition of 「create」, ordinary people are creative every day. To create means 「to bring into being, to cause to exist」—something each of us does daily.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sese to bee aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. I f we believe the expression, 「There is nothing new under the sun,」 the creativ ity is remaking or rebining the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new bination of camera lenses and filters to cr eate an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ide as, to apply them to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day to day activities.
26.Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to t he passage?
A.To prepare a meal.
B.To arrange the furniture in a peculiar way.
C.To buy some books from a bookstore.
D.To 「write」 a letter with the puter.
27.The author holds that ____.
A.creativity is of highly demand
B.creativity is connected with a deep insight to some extent
C.creativity is to create something new and concrete
D.to practise and practise is the only way to cultivate one』s creativity
28.「There is nothing new under the sun.」 ***Par.3*** really implies that ____.
A.we can seldom create new things B.a new thing is only a tale
C.a new thing can only be created at the basis of original things D.we can scarcely see really new things in the world
29.What does the author think about the relationship between a new though t and its being put into practice?
A.It』s more difficult to create a new thought than to apply it in practice.
B.To find a new thought will definitely lead to the proction of a new thing.
C.One may e up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.
D.A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily bee an inventor.
30.The best title for this passage is ____.
A.How to Cultivate One』s Creativity B.What is Creativity
C.The Importance of Creativity D.Creativity—a Not Farway Thing
大學四級考試閱讀訓練題答案
26.答案C。本題可用排除法。根據第一段可知創造力的含 義是「使事物產生」,「致使事物存在」。而它三個方面的表現可參考「短文大意」,據此,C為正確答案。
27.答案B。此題的解答需要在理解文章大意及細節基礎上進行。選項B意為「創造力在一定程度上取決於非凡的洞察力。」根據最後一段,可知這是一種「天賦」,故正確。這樣就可確定B為正確答案。
28.答案C。此題可在正確理解句子含義的基礎上採取「排除法」來解答。根據上下文可以得知:此句的真正含義是「任何新事物的產生都是建立在原有事物基礎之上的」。據此,A項認為「我們很少能創造新事物」,顯然只是句子的字面意思,不正確。B項「創造新事物 是一個神話」,也為字面理解。再看C項「只有在原有事物基礎之上才能創造新事物」,這不正是我們分析得出的結論嗎?而D項「我們幾乎不可能看到新事物」,更是差之甚遠。這樣就 可確定C項為正確答案無疑。
29.答案C。先找有關細節。此問題涉及到對文章第三段最 後一句的理解。作者認為「獲得新思想並不意味著就能夠將其付諸實踐,暗含「知易行難」的意義。這樣,我們就可對 選項進行分析選棄了。這樣就可確定C 為正確答案無疑。
30.答案B。首先快速通讀全文***注意主題句***,可知文章主 要談論的是「創造力的含義及其三個方面的表現」,整篇文章都是圍繞創造力展開的。現在來分析選項。這樣就可確定,B項為正確答案。
大學四級考試閱讀訓練題***二***
When I was studying at Yale, some phenomena puzzled me greatly. I found that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.
I was impressed by the role of the professor in the seminar***討論會***. The professor didn』t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a reseac her looking for answers to questions together with the students. One lingui stic***語言的*** feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal***情態的*** verbs—far more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said, 「This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong.」 or 「You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting.」
In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct di rections. Therefore, students always expect the professor to give an answer to th e question. I still remember how frustrated they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than that of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they w ere sure about it.
Ecation in China is valued for united thinking. I remember American teachers who taught in our university plaining about the fact that Chinese students u niformly expressed the same idea in their English position. The examinations in America usually do not test a student』s ability to memorize the material but his ability to *** yze and solve problems. Ecation in America is valued not on ly as a means to obtain employment but as a process of enhancing critical thinking.
31.In the USA, when the students are in class, ____.
A.a Chinese student tends to be very active B.an American student likes to make trouble
C.a Chinese student likes to puzzle the teacher D.an American student tends to be vigorous
32.A teacher in the USA prefers to ____ when he answers questions.
A.be very sincere B.be very direct
C.be very self confident D.be very indifferent
33.What is the opinion of the author concerning the difference of teachin g methods between China and the USA?
A.He thinks that Chinese teaching metods can make students learn more.
B.He holds that the major purpose of Chinese teaching methods is to impro ve students』 remembrance.
C.He thinks that American teaching is ability oriented.
D.He holds that American teachers hate to give a test.
34.The author thinks that the relationship between the student and the te acher is ____.
A.more intimate in China B.closer in China C.looser in USA D.more harmonious in USA
35.The ecation in USA may proce some ____ graates.
A.talkative B.conventional C.creative D.imaginative
大學四級考試閱讀訓練題答案
31.答案D。在文章中找到有關的細節為解此題的關鍵。從文章第一段的最後兩句可得知「中國留學生在課堂上表現很有禮貌和節制,而美國學生則非常主動和活躍。」據此看D項 「美國學生經 常表現得非常活躍」,正是我們與作者得出的結論,所以是選項無疑。解答此題也給了我們一個啟示:某些干擾項迷惑性很大,不能一眼識別,所以在選擇時可能需要進行反復比較思考 ,方能斷定其正確與否。
32.答案A。文章第二段是解答問題的關鍵。此段主要談論 「美國教授在上課時扮演的是與學生平等的角色」,並介紹了「這種情況的種種表現」。現在,我們來看選項。A項「 非常誠懇」,符合事實,先標出,看有沒有更合適的。B項「非常直接」,顯然不對,即使 美國老師語氣委婉,也只是「不直接」。C項意為「非常自信」,文章沒有提到這一點,也不能選。再看D項「非常冷淡」,更是荒謬。這樣也就只能選A。
33.答案C。解答此類題目,首先也必須象解答「有關文章主要內容題目」一樣,首先應掌握全文的主旨和大意,據此才能在理解作者觀點時,不致管中窺豹,以致偏頗。迅速通讀全文,可知作者意在抨擊中國教育方式的弊端。這樣,作者的觀點也就昭然若揭了。現在看選項。C項「美國教育重在培養學生能力」。 作者在對中國教育抨擊的同時,也對美國教育的某些做法表示贊成,而這一點正是作者對美國教育考查後得出的結論之一,所以正確。
34.答案D。推理***斷***題屬於要求較高的題型。它要求學生不僅能正確理解文章***或某些細節***,也要能據此進一步推測其中暗含的意思。D項說「美國師生之間關系和諧」,正合作者的看法,所以只能選D。
35.答案C。此題的問題太寬泛,只能根據選項,結合文章,進行取捨。C項是「具有創造力的」,美國平 等式的、自由、寬松的教育方式,鼓勵學生培養獨立分析、解決問題的能力,這樣培養出來的學生勢必多具有「創造力」,符合事實。所以選項為C。
⑶ 四級英語考試如何准備呢
🌞首先我們來了解以下什麼是四級考試。

4、翻譯部分(漢譯英)
每年考試,翻譯算是比較難的一個部分了,如果不提前准備的話也是很難拿分的。翻譯的話可以先自己試著翻譯一下,然後將自己的翻譯和答案比對。沒翻譯出的句子多讀幾遍、以求記全、記會。再者就是多練。可以將往年大部分翻譯都過一遍。
⑷ 英語考四級需要復習哪些資料
ACCA又分為機考和筆試,現在的知識課程和應用課程(F階段)為機考,戰略課程(P階段)目前只回能筆試,但兩者答都是英文的。不過大家也不要對英語有太大的恐懼感,ACCA改卷的考官對於非英語系國家的考生,語法錯誤、拼寫錯誤等都不會扣分,只要你的語句把知識點表達出來能切到題目的要害即可。
ACCA的學習過程中英語能力也會隨之慢慢提高,附上ACCA英語學習的三個建議:
一、學會用英語的方式思維,在學習過程中要培養自己用英語進行思維的習慣、發散性分析能力和歸納能力,另一方面要從最基本的要義和邏輯分析入手,培養自己在復雜環境下的決策、判斷能力和心理承受能力。
二、抓住ACCA考試的規律性,ACCA考題的規律性比較強,不會出偏題和怪題,重點內容會反復出現在歷年的考題中。考生不妨嘗試分析歷年考試內容,找出考官的出題規律,針對這些重點反復練習,但這種分析是須建立在對書本內容全面理解的基礎上的。
三、擴大知識面除了要掌握課本和習題上提供的知識外,還要充分學習、利用熱點資訊,不斷擴大自己的知識面,了解時事信息和接受不同的觀點。

37. 答案:investigated
解析:根據前面的have,可知此處為動詞的過去分詞,所以不要漏寫詞尾d。
38. 答案:value
解析:value for money意為“性價比”。
39. 答案:familiar
解析:familiar常與with搭配,表示“熟悉……”,注意此詞的拼寫,也不要寫成family或similar。

解析:此處需要一個與“估價”有關的詞,由前面的being可知為過去分詞。拼寫要注意雙寫s及詞尾的-ed。
41. 答案:recommend
解析:此處需謂語動詞,由主語researchers可知為動詞原形。
42. 答案:perhaps
解析:根據上下文可知此處需副詞。
43. 答案:additional
解析:此處需形容詞,修飾其後的lenses,表“額外的”。根據派生法可避免一些簡單的拼寫錯誤。
44. 標准答案:Equivalent German models tend to be heavier and slightly less easy to use
聽音關鍵:German models, heavier, less easy to use
答案重構:1) Similar German models are usually heavier and slightly less convenient to use
2) The same German models/cameras/ones tend to be heavier and a little more difficult to use
畫龍點睛:注意比較結構。
45. 標准答案:Similarly, it is smaller than most of its competitors, thus fitting easily into a pocket or handbag
聽音關鍵:Similarly, smaller than, competitors, fit easily
答案重構:Similarly, it is smaller than other models and can be put in a pocket or handbag easily
畫龍點睛:注意比較結構。個別詞彙也可用簡單的同義詞替換。對於句子聽寫,只要聽懂關鍵詞便可根據語法自己連詞成句。
46. 標准答案:The only problem was a slight awkwardness in loading the film
聽音關鍵:problem, awkwardness, load, film
答案重構:1) The only problem was a slight trouble/difficulty in loading the film
2) The only problem was that it may be a little difficult to put the film into the camera
畫龍點睛:注意主系表結構。若不會拼寫awkwardness,可用trouble之類的同義詞替換它。介詞短語也可改為不定式結構。

答案解析:
Passage Three
When Iraqi troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells at the end of the Gulf War, scientists feared an environmental disaster. [33]Would black powder and the smoke from the fires circle the globe and block out the sun? Many said "No way. Rain would wash the black powder from the atmosphere." But in America, air-sampling balloons have detected high concentrations of particles similar to those collected in Kuwait. Now that the fires are out, scientists are turning attention to yet another threat-the oil did not catch fire. It has formed huge lakes in the Kuwaiti deserts. They trap insects and birds and poison a variety of other desert animals and plants. [34]The only good news is that the oil lakes have not affected the underground water resources. So far, the oil has not been absorbed because of the hard sand just below the surface.
Nothing, however, stops the oil from evaporating. The resulting poisonous gases are choking nearby residents. [35]Officials are trying to organize a quick clean-up, but they are not sure how to do it. One possibility is to burn the oil. Get those black powder detectors ready.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. What were the scientists worried about soon after the Gulf War?
正確答案:D
解析:題目詢問海灣戰爭結束之後不久,科學家們擔心什麼。關鍵是要聽到“大火產生的黑色粉末和煙會不會環繞全球並遮擋住太陽呢?”可知D為答案。符合短文聽力“聽到什麼選什麼”的原則。選項A、B、C的內容文中均未提及。
34. What was the good news for scientists?
正確答案:D
解析:題目詢問對於科學家們來說,好消息是什麼。關鍵是要聽到“唯一的好消息是,石油形成的湖泊尚未污染地下水資源。”D是原文的同義表達。A錯在oil;文中說石油毒死了許多沙漠動植物,故B不正確。文中說因為地層下面有堅硬的沙,迄今為止石油仍未被吸收;什麼都無法阻止石油的蒸發,故C不正確。
35. What are the officials trying to do at the moment?
正確答案:C
解析:題目詢問目前官員們正試圖做些什麼。關鍵是要聽到“官員們正試圖組織一次快速的清潔行動”,C是原文的同義表達。

答案解析:
Section B
Passage One
Paul, a salesman from London, was driving past a sports car parked outside a supermarket when he saw it start to roll slowly down the hill. Inside the car were two young girls on the passenger seat but no driver. Paul stopped quickly, jumped in front of the sports car and tried to stop it-pushing against the front of the car. Another man, who was standing nearby, got into the car and put on the hand brake, [29]saving the girls from injury. It was at this point that [26]Paul noticed his own car rolling slowly down the hill and going too fast for him to stop it. It crashed into a bus at the bottom of the hill and was so badly damaged that it had to be pulled away to a garage. As if this was not bad enough, [28]Paul now found he had no one to blame. He was so busy chasing his car that he did not get the name of the driver of the sports car [27]who just came out of the supermarket and drove away without realizing what had happened.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. Which car was badly damaged?
正確答案:C
解析:題目詢問哪輛車受到了嚴重損壞。關鍵是聽到“Paul看到自己的車慢慢滑下了山……,在山腳下與一輛公交車相撞,損壞得非常嚴重……。”符合短文聽力“聽到什麼選什麼”的原則。選項A、D中提到的車是Paul挽救的;文中沒有提到選項B的內容。
27. Where was the driver of the sports car when the accident happened?
正確答案:D
解析:關鍵是聽懂文章最後一句,其中提到“跑車司機剛走出超市”,說明事故發生時,那個司機在超市裡。故答案為D。文中說跑車裡面沒有司機,所以A不正確;在山腳下的是一輛公交車,不是跑車司機,所以B不正確;文中提到Paul的車受損嚴重,要拖去garage,故選項C與問題無關。
28. Who did Paul think was to blame for the accident?
正確答案:A
解析:題目詢問Paul認為這場事故的發生是誰的錯。關鍵是聽到文章最後所述:“Paul現在發現沒人可責備,他忙著追自己的車,以至於沒能得到跑車司機的名字,而那個司機根本不知道發生了什麼事,揚長而去了。”Paul去挽救跑車,才導致自己的車嚴重損壞,因此事故責任在跑車司機,即A。文章中沒有提到車里的兩個女孩做了些什麼,因而與事故的發生無關,B不正確;C中提到的男士挽救了跑車和車里的人,不是導致事故的人;選項D所指的人即Paul。
29. Who was injured in the accident?
正確答案:A
解析:題目詢問誰在事故中受了傷。全文沒有提到任何人受傷,即A。文中與兩個女孩有關的原話是“另一個站在附近的人上了跑車,拉下手剎,使兩個女孩免於受傷”,所以B不正確。
⑹ 大學英語四級考試,買什麼練習書好
買一套抄星火的真題,認認真真刷完裡面的10套歷年真題。做真題,不要去做模擬題。幫助過的很多同學都說真題是考過了的東西,做真題還有什麼用?這種想法可以說是大錯特錯,原題當然不會重新出現在你的試卷上。
但是你要知道,真題上的生詞和知識點都是通的,就像你雅思拿了7分,去考托福也很難下100分一樣。真題才是經典,模擬題不建議去做,因為編寫的人並不是四級出題人,質量比真題差太多了。
考前一個月瘋狂刷題。不用多,就一個月剛好。如果你覺得自己基礎實在太差!甚至說是完全沒有基礎!那就拉長戰線至2個月!足矣!三個月以上有些長了,後期會十分疲累。細水長流不如集中猛攻!

⑼ 專項輔導:英語四級考試完形填空的解題技巧
完形填空又稱綜合填空,是國內大學英語四級考試中較為常見的測試題型。完形填空的題目在設計時並非拿來一篇短文隨便去掉幾個詞,設計者要遵循一定的要求和准則,以保證測試的效度和信度。一般來說,在大學英語四級考試中,出題人會給出一篇200-250字的短文,從中去掉20個詞,要求考生在15分鍾內填完這20個空。
完形填空李遲的測試點及解題方法從表面來看,就是要求考生把每個句子中刪掉的詞恢復出來。而實際上,四級考試中的完形填空綜合了詞彙、結構以及閱讀理解部分的測試內容。它不僅測試應試者在詞彙和句子水平上運用語言的能力,還測試應試者在語篇上綜合運用語言結構的能力。完形填空中所填的詞是與文章的上下文緊密聯系的。因此,要做好完形填空,必須要在通讀全文、把握結構與大意的前提下,根據所提供的選項及句子的結構、語法、語篇等信息,通過邏輯推理、對比等手段最後確定答案。
根據完形填空這一測試特點,筆者認為,在做完形填空時,應採取以下五個步驟逐一進行。
步驟一,了解大意
所謂了解大意即通讀整篇文章,弄清文章的大意和結構,確立正確的背景知識,為正式的填空做好充分的准備。很哪配李多考生擔心自己的閱讀水平差,有的甚至碰到空格的地方就莫名的緊張了,認為閱讀一篇滿是空格的文章必然無功而返,與其這樣浪費時間,倒不如看一句,填一空。其實,這就陷入了一個誤區。要知道,短文中的空格不是隨便就去掉的,從考察應試者語言的綜合能力這一可信度而言,完形填空在出題時有這樣一條原則:去掉20個空格後不會影響考生對文章大意的了解。所以,考生在正式填空前,大可不必為理解上的障礙而省略了這至關重要的一步。此外,考生在第一遍閱讀中,要善於從文章開頭的幾句話中把握短文的背景、主題或結構,並結合常識判斷構建一定的預期,並在隨後的閱讀中,不斷修正,以求與原文一致。通常情況下,文章開頭的一、兩句話都是完整的信息,這些句子揭示文章的背景知識或主題思想,考生在閱讀中一定要仔細研讀,為後面的閱讀掃清障礙。
步驟二,初選答案
文章讀完了,了解大意後,考生便可以開始填空了。在填每個空格時,可以從出題者的出題思路著手,初步作出每個題的答案。總的來說,出題人有以下六種出思路。
(一)詞義與詞形的辨析。選項與選項之間構成同義詞、反義詞、形近詞的關系。有時出題者也藉助選項,考察考生對某些單詞詞義的精確理解。舉例:
Geographers compare and contrast 71 places on the earth.
71. A) similar B) various C) distant D) famous
譯文:地理學家比較和對照地球上的什麼地方。
很明顯要求填一個形容詞來修飾places. 如果單從語法的角度而言,A、B、C、D四個選項都能入選,出題者精心設計只為考察compare和contrast的精確含義。compare意為to exam for similarities and differences, contrast意為to compare in order to show differences。綜合兩個詞的含義,應為「找出其相似之處與不同之處」。這樣一來,答案不言自明。既然不同與相同皆不可拋,答案A)必然錯誤,「similar」(相似的)只揭示了兩者的相同、相似,未照應不同,故必不入選。而答案C)distant 「遙遠的」、D) famous「的」均與「相似與不同」不搭界,所以也一並排除掉,剩下B)various「各種各樣」為正確答案。「各種各樣」既囊括相似之處,又溶入「不同幾許」,既照應compare,又體現了contrast的含義。所以考生在應試時對於某些重點單詞的理解,不能只局限於中文,而應從英文的角度,逐字理解。
(二)邏輯關系。所填空格的句子,與上下文構成指代、列舉、因果、比較、對比、讓步、 補充、遞進等邏輯關系。
上下文邏輯關系的考察,是完形填空區別於單純的句子與結構測試中最重要的一點。不僅在國內考試中,在美國研究生入學考試(GRE)中,也常常考到考生運用邏輯關系解題的能力。賣耐筆者試舉一例:
文中提到:
The foreign research scholar usually isolates himself in the laboratory as a means of protection; 77 , what he needs is to be fitted into a highly organized university system…
77. A) otherwise B) moreover
C) however D) also
根據上下文,空格前的意思為「外籍研究學者通常把自己隔離在實驗室里作為 一種保護的手段」。空格後為「他需要融入的是高度的組織化的大學系統」。前者是 一種孤離的狀態「isolate」,而後者都是一種組織化的系統「be fitted to a higly organized university」,從邏輯的角度而言,前後已然成為對立、矛盾的關系。所以77空所填的連詞必然是能將前後平衡的表示對比(轉折)關系的連詞however.
