考試馬上就要開(kāi)始了,最后一個(gè)月請(qǐng)同學(xué)們務(wù)必把時(shí)間用在刀刃上,做到事半功倍,應(yīng)該把大部分時(shí)間放在得分最高的兩大塊上,即聽(tīng)力和閱讀上。
對(duì)于閱讀部分的復(fù)習(xí),如何在這很短的時(shí)間內(nèi)達(dá)到最佳效果呢?最近也有同學(xué)經(jīng)常問(wèn)今年四級(jí)閱讀會(huì)不會(huì)比去年難,會(huì)不會(huì)快速閱讀不考Y,N,NG,其實(shí)試題的難易,或題目形式的變換不只是對(duì)某
人而言的,所以試題的難度并不影響我們最終能否通過(guò)考試的結(jié)果。在這剩下的一個(gè)月左右的時(shí)間里,我認(rèn)為大家應(yīng)該在以下幾個(gè)方面做好準(zhǔn)備:
心理因素:考試快到了,而且和期末考試碰在一起,會(huì)感覺(jué)有好多單詞還沒(méi)有背,好多真題還沒(méi)有做,聽(tīng)力又不好,閱讀錯(cuò)誤率太高,所以極易一下亂了陣腳,有緊迫感,越到后面壓力越大,其實(shí)
大可不必,因?yàn)閺V大考生只是要求通過(guò)或考個(gè)中上的考分,并不要求自己考滿分。所以在最后一個(gè)月左右的時(shí)間把該背的單詞爭(zhēng)取背到七八層熟,把好的真題
考場(chǎng)時(shí)間:四級(jí)閱讀有快速和選詞填空,以及兩篇傳統(tǒng)閱讀。平時(shí)做題時(shí)可以不限時(shí)間,仔細(xì)閱讀分析每篇文章每道題目的解題思路,各選項(xiàng)的正誤原因以及文章具體結(jié)構(gòu),但是快到考試的前兩個(gè)
禮拜,最好把時(shí)間固定在考試要求的時(shí)間范圍內(nèi)把題目做完,讓自己適應(yīng)考場(chǎng)速度要求。但是,實(shí)際上廣大考生都會(huì)覺(jué)得閱讀時(shí)間是最緊張的,表面上15分鐘快速閱讀和25分鐘精讀,但是時(shí)間最后都不
夠用,所以最好在考場(chǎng)上把握整體政策,對(duì)于沒(méi)有把握的其它部分要采取“丟卒保車”的精神,把時(shí)間挪到閱讀部分來(lái),因?yàn)殚喿x的分值太高,不容忽視。
詞匯部分:就算到了最后一個(gè)禮拜,大家也不要破罐子破甩,要把大綱中的單詞好好背,把曾經(jīng)記過(guò)的單詞短語(yǔ)認(rèn)真看,閱讀成敗在單詞,考前記單詞也能臨時(shí)抱佛腳的。這里再?gòu)?qiáng)調(diào)一下“相似易
混單詞”的重要性,不要看錯(cuò)了自己背過(guò)的單詞,這樣是很冤枉的,而且“相似易混單詞”一定要把寫(xiě)法背清楚背牢固,這就是廣大考生感覺(jué)很多單詞好像認(rèn)識(shí)又不認(rèn)識(shí)的根本原因。高中基礎(chǔ)不差的同
學(xué)會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)其實(shí)四級(jí)單詞多不了多少單詞,好好多背1000左右的單詞用不了多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。
傳統(tǒng)閱讀:仔細(xì)閱讀是我們最熟悉的題型, 這些文章只要能把握好正確的解體思路,找好題干或選項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵詞,抓住題目問(wèn)題邏輯,就能定位到文章出處和正確答案。
猜詞題強(qiáng)調(diào)的是上下文原則,
細(xì)節(jié)題強(qiáng)調(diào)的是關(guān)鍵詞定位,
推理題強(qiáng)調(diào)的是“一切從原文事實(shí)出發(fā)”,勿合理推理,推理過(guò)度。
主題題強(qiáng)調(diào)的是抓住文章首段或其它段落的段首尾句。
標(biāo)題題強(qiáng)調(diào)的是不要擴(kuò)大或縮小主題范圍。
態(tài)度題強(qiáng)調(diào)的是分清褒貶,貶義詞是錯(cuò)誤的。
例子題強(qiáng)調(diào)的是要支持文章主題。
當(dāng)然通過(guò)課堂中說(shuō)的一些蒙答案的方法,也可以在自己不確定的情況下提高自己做題準(zhǔn)確度。

as(四級(jí)考試頻度很大的幾個(gè)用法)
1.引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句(通??梢杂胻hough替換),使用下面句型:1)"形容詞/副詞十a(chǎn)s+主語(yǔ)十謂語(yǔ):Much as like her,I will not marry her.雖然我很喜歡她,但我并不想與她結(jié)婚。
2)"原形動(dòng)詞十a(chǎn)s十主語(yǔ)十may/might/will/would":Try as he would,he could not lift the rock.不管他用多大勁也舉不起那塊石頭。There was not a soul to be found in the house,
search as they would.不管他們?cè)趺磳ふ?,房子里也找不到一個(gè)人。

后者更合理、更好理解些。)

關(guān)系代詞也存在著爭(zhēng)議,它在結(jié)構(gòu)上更接近關(guān)系代詞,但as與that/which不同,that/which引導(dǎo)的關(guān)系從句只能放在先行詞后面,而as引導(dǎo)的從句不但可以放在主句的后面,還可以放在主句的前面。
)

說(shuō) for there to be,這和把 I do sth變?yōu)椴欢ㄊ綍r(shí)應(yīng)說(shuō) for me to do sth的道理是一樣的。在這個(gè)句式中還要注意如何把 It is time變?yōu)橛?for引導(dǎo)的不定式。如果要說(shuō)"現(xiàn)在該吃藥了",用英語(yǔ)
應(yīng)說(shuō) It is time to take medicine。但如果要說(shuō)"他在等到該吃藥的時(shí)間再吃藥",就應(yīng)說(shuō) He is waiting for it to be time to take medicine。)

句子謂語(yǔ)需用動(dòng)詞原形的情況
從句謂語(yǔ)需用過(guò)去時(shí)或過(guò)去完成時(shí)的情況

1.句子謂語(yǔ)需用動(dòng)詞原形的情況
1)英語(yǔ)中有些表示愿望、建議、命令、要求的動(dòng)詞的賓語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)需用
should十動(dòng)詞原形, 美國(guó)英語(yǔ)多用動(dòng)詞原形,英國(guó)英語(yǔ)可用動(dòng)詞原形或用 should十動(dòng)詞原形兩種形式。
這些常用動(dòng)詞包括:suggest,propose,recommend,order,demand command request,require,insist,desire,ask,

與這些動(dòng)詞同源的名詞的同位語(yǔ)從句或表語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也需用虛擬語(yǔ)氣。
與這些動(dòng)詞相應(yīng)的名詞有: suggestion/proposal/recommendation/order/demand/

在 It is十形容詞十 that從句結(jié)構(gòu)中,從句謂語(yǔ)需用虛擬式。
這些常用的形容詞有:necessary/important/vital/essential/
imperative/urgent/appropriate/preferable/
natural/strange/amazing/desirable/advisable/incredible;
以及以人作主語(yǔ)的形容詞 desirous/insistent/sorry/sad/surprised等和名詞pity/necessity/importance

2.從句謂語(yǔ)需用過(guò)去時(shí)或過(guò)去完成時(shí)的情況
1)從句謂語(yǔ)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)的情況。
(1)It is(high)time sb did/was doing sth.
在這個(gè)句式中,從句謂語(yǔ)只能用一般過(guò)去時(shí)或過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)。見(jiàn)下例:
(1)It's time you went to bed.
(2)It's time we were setting out.Its time they were taught a lesson.

?。╳ould sooner = would prefer; would as soon = would be equally willing)見(jiàn)下例:
(1)I could go myself but I would sooner you went.
(2)I would just as soon you didn't go there.
2)從句謂語(yǔ)可用一般過(guò)去時(shí)和過(guò)去完成時(shí)。
(1)wish
wish表示的愿望往往與現(xiàn)在或過(guò)去的事實(shí)相反,或者是很難實(shí)現(xiàn)的愿望,因此其賓語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)要求用虛擬語(yǔ)氣,有以下三種情況:
若表示的愿望與說(shuō)話時(shí)存在的事實(shí)相反,賓語(yǔ)從句謂語(yǔ)用一般過(guò)去時(shí),be動(dòng)詞多用were.
若表示的愿望是指未來(lái),賓語(yǔ)從句謂語(yǔ)多用could/would/might do/be。
若表示的愿望與過(guò)去事實(shí)相反,或與已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事實(shí)相反,賓語(yǔ)從句謂語(yǔ)需用過(guò)去完成時(shí)或could/would have done/been。(注意:不管 wish用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)或過(guò)去時(shí),上述規(guī)則不變。)見(jiàn)下
例:
(1)I wish I were as strong as you.
(2)I wish I had paid more attention to my pronunciation.
(3)I wished he would try again.
(4)She wished sincerely that she might do something to comfort him.

a.have dept b.slept c.might have slept d. could have slept(答案 d.)
?。?)would rather that…
would rather后面引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句的that不可省略。根據(jù)所要表達(dá)的不同意思,從句謂語(yǔ)可用一般過(guò)去時(shí)、過(guò)去完成時(shí),還可用動(dòng)詞原形。用一般過(guò)去時(shí),表達(dá)與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反的愿望;用過(guò)去完成時(shí)
表達(dá)與過(guò)去事實(shí)相反的愿望;用動(dòng)詞原形僅僅表示主句主語(yǔ)希望從句主語(yǔ)做某事的愿望。見(jiàn)下例:
(1)Henry would rather that his girl friend worked in the same department as he does.(事實(shí)是他的女朋友在另一個(gè)部門工作。)
(2)Tom would rather that Jack had gone to class yesterday.(事實(shí)是杰克昨天沒(méi)去上課。)
(3)We would rather that he take this train.(希望他乘坐這趟火車。)
(注:根據(jù)多年我國(guó)各種測(cè)試的情況看,似乎只考賓語(yǔ)從句謂語(yǔ)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)的情況,而且在沒(méi)有給出上下文的情況下,把用動(dòng)詞原形視為錯(cuò)誤)見(jiàn)下例:
(4)I'd rather you _____ those important documents with you.
a. not take b. don't take c. won't take d. didn't take(要求選d為正確答案)

(3)Look at the terrible situation I am in! If only I _____ your advice!
a.follow b.had followed c. would follow d.have followed(答案 b.)
(4)Oh that could fly!
?。?)as if/as though
如果表達(dá)的是與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反的情況,謂語(yǔ)用一般過(guò)去時(shí);如果表達(dá)的是與過(guò)去事實(shí)相反的情況,謂語(yǔ)用過(guò)去完成時(shí),而不管主句謂語(yǔ)用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)或過(guò)去時(shí)。見(jiàn)下例:
(1)It seems as if it was/were spring already.
(2)They talked/are talking as if they had been friends for years.
(注:需要指出的是,并非所有由as if/as though引導(dǎo)的從句謂語(yǔ)均要用虛擬語(yǔ)氣。如果 as if從句表達(dá)的意思是根據(jù)當(dāng)時(shí)的事實(shí)或已經(jīng)表現(xiàn)出的跡象判斷是很可能已經(jīng)發(fā)生或即將發(fā)生的事情,
從句謂語(yǔ)就用陳述語(yǔ)氣,根據(jù)句意從句謂語(yǔ)可用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)、現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)或?qū)?lái)時(shí)。)見(jiàn)下例:
(1)It looks as if it's going to rain.(有可能下雨)
(2)He talks as if he has known everything.
(3)It tastes as if it is made of chocolate.
3.虛擬條件句(或叫非真實(shí)條件句)
如果條件句所表達(dá)的是純?nèi)患僭O(shè)的情況或是與事實(shí)完全相反的假設(shè),或是發(fā)生的可能性極小,就稱為虛擬條件句(或叫非真實(shí)條件句),分為下面三種情況:
虛擬將來(lái):(從句)if…should/were to…,(主句)…would/could/might/should do/be
虛擬現(xiàn)在:(從句)if…did/were…,(主句)…would/could/might/should do/be
虛擬過(guò)去:(從句)if…had p.p…,(主句)…would/could/might/should have done/been
1)表示將來(lái)的虛擬條件句:謂語(yǔ)用 should十動(dòng)詞原形,表示以未來(lái)不太可能發(fā)生為假設(shè);謂語(yǔ)也可用 were to,表示以未來(lái)絕對(duì)不會(huì)發(fā)生為假設(shè)。見(jiàn)下例:
(1)If I were to/should do it,I would do it in a different way.
(2)If they were to/should act like that again,we should criticize them severely.
2)與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)完全相反的假設(shè)或?qū)崿F(xiàn)的可能性極小,從句謂語(yǔ)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)(be動(dòng)詞用were),主句謂語(yǔ)用 would/could/might/should十動(dòng)詞原形。見(jiàn)下例:
(1)If had the time,I would certainly go.(but I don't have the time.)
(2)If were you,I would reconsider their proposal.(but I am not you.)
?。ㄗⅲ阂詓uppose/supposing和what if引導(dǎo)的從句,若特別強(qiáng)調(diào)假設(shè)的條件,可用虛擬語(yǔ)氣)
(3)Suppose/Supposing your mends knew how you're behaving here,what would they think?
(4)"We will set out tomorrow.""What if it rained?"
3)與過(guò)去事實(shí)完全相反的假設(shè),從句謂語(yǔ)用過(guò)去完成時(shí),主句謂語(yǔ)用 would/could/might十完成式。見(jiàn)下例:
(1)If I had left a little earlier,I would have caught the train.
(2)I could have done better if I had been more careful.
(3)If he hadn't been ill,he might have come.
4)省略if的虛擬條件倒裝句:在正式書(shū)面英語(yǔ)中,如果條件句中包含有助動(dòng)詞had/should和were時(shí),可省略if,然后把它們置于從句主語(yǔ)之前。見(jiàn)下例:
(1)Had we made(=If we had made)adequate preparations,we might have succeeded.
(2)Should I go to university one day,I would study hard.
(3)Were it。t for(=If it were not for)their assistance,we couldn't have got over the difficulties.
