英语四级口语考试应该准备些什么？
英语六级 PETS全国英语等级考试 GCT工程硕士入学考试 公务员考试
1. 心理准备。
四六级能考优秀，未必口语能拿到B等甚至C等。这很正常，四六级是个综合测试，并不说明你英语学习中的每一部分都尽善尽美了，而口语尤有可能与其拉开距离。总觉得一个大学生到了外面就是代表其所在的大学，应该有个良好的风貌，所以要表现的超脱一点，潇洒一点，哪怕作不到荣辱不惊，至少也得是泰然自若。
2. 热身。
考试之前，会对所有考生进行随机分组，通常三个人一组，会给一定时间让你们交流，这就是所谓热身。你的对手来自全省各地，有各种不同的学习经历，即使作为一般朋友聊天也会有所收获。大家都是英语爱好者，都是英语学习的佼佼者，应该有不少的共同语言。我当时的伙伴一个是有工作经验的研究生，一个是低我一级的小女孩。我们无论从性格、阅历、人生目标等都截然不同，虽然他们两个口语一般，我们还是聊的很开心，因为了解到的是两个与自己完全不同的人，也是两个完全不同的世界。
每个人的口语都有自己的特色，很少考生是完全标准的发音，于是要在给定的时间内尽可能的熟悉伙伴的发音特点，基本了解他们的性格，对他们针对话题可能作出的反应最好心中有点数。因为最后一个部分有可能是你平时考虑不到的问题，或者准备时没有预演过的，但你不能表现的吃惊，更不能对别人的论点表示吃惊。所以你对他们的了解就很重要了。
不要小瞧你的伙伴，不要冷漠着不肯交流，如果到了需要你对他的发言作出反应的时候，而你却不知道他在说什么，你就惨了。与一个完全陌生的人交谈，即使用汉语，你也可能碰到不知所云的情况，更何况是英语。所以要热身。要聊。开心的，投入的聊。题外话：我考BEC的时候，只有一个partner，女生，看起来也不是很内向，只是拒绝跟我交谈，虽然老师给了一段时间让两个人相互了解。也许是觉得不好意思，她干脆就与她的同伴汉语聊天去了。口试的时候就发现问题了。她属于声音有些沉的那种，我听她说话有些费力，只能猜测。最后一个部分是一个商业宣传的案例，我们做的策划是两个截然不同的方向，而我对她所言的核心问题都不能十分确定，根本不能跟随她或者让她同意我的观点，她大概也没有经历过类似的考试，根本不与我配合，于是到最后也没有达成一致意见。倒是考完出来以后我终于琢磨出了她说的是什么意思。最后，虽然口语部分成绩一般，总成绩勉强还让人满意，不然我一定有上门找她算帐的冲动，因为BEC考试任何一部分不及格，总成绩都会被记为不及格！这个考试给我印象深刻，当时下着大雪，她的名字也至今历历在心！
虽然四六级口语考试可以说是无足轻重的考试，别人不会因为成绩好或者不好而记住你，但也不要让别人因为你的不懂合作，没有团队精神而记住你吧！
3. 主考老师。
由两名老师主考，老师们以女的居多，如果近几年跻身英语教育的男老师仍然为数不多的话，你的两位主考老师有可能都是女的。老师们不会很冷漠，你会觉得他们有一种类似体现职业道德的微笑，我当时就是这么感觉的，不管如何，会在一定程度上消除你的紧张心理。
在你任何时刻的陈述当中，他们都有可能打断你，问你问题，一定不要紧张，这是你进一步展示个人魅力的机会。所谓避免问题发生的人，不如让问题发生然后解决问题的人更得赏识，就是这个道理。如果实在紧张，干脆不要把他们当作老师好了，他们与你的接触仅仅是这几分钟而已，之后你们就是完全的陌路人，把他们当作英语角的几个陌生朋友，当作路上向你问路的老外，大胆的随机应付吧！
4. 自我介绍。
这个是得准备的，既然有准备的机会。一开始就是个自我介绍，最好有特色一点，生动一点，因为这关系到第一印象的问题，你在第一时间内所展现出来的个性特征很可能在主考老师的心里持续到最后一分钟。即使你在之后的环节做的非常优秀，把你们三个人在老师心中的印象重新排序仍是有些困难的，虽然不是没有可能。
虽然是有时间准备的东西，尽量不要弄的过分芜杂、冗长，那就适得其反了。控制在所给定的时间之内。不要为了使用上某些也许会增光添彩的语句而使本该简短的文字变得复杂，夸张，不自然。不要在自我介绍中撒谎，不要特意把自己塑造成一个优秀大学生的样子，要真实。真实的才是动人的。一个人的相貌，打扮，谈吐，神情一定会以很快的速度向外界传达关于这个人的信息，所以不要在这么短的时间之内撒这么一个丝毫不保险的大谎，否则必有所失。
眼神不要那么游离，要真切，自然。老师们是否真的会因为这个而在分数上有所体现，我不知道，只是我自己喜欢一个初次见面的人表现的很自信的样子。至于幽默感，如果我是老师，我不希望面前的孩子表现的过于幽默，也许过分了就不是幽默，而是滑稽，搞笑，紧张时候的自我安慰，让别人感觉奇怪的行为了。
5. 专心。
其实专心应该是从始至终的，最好能做到悉心倾听每一个partner的发言，所谓有备无患，免得突然叫到你了，你却手足无措。我考试的时候遇见的那位研究生，是位南方人，口语基本上在初中水平，大概是在最后一个部分，他根本说不出来什么，反而开始说一些很个人的，绝对无关的东西，比如我的口语不好，我来只是锻炼一下之类，然
6. 回答问题。
要学会对问题进行开放性解释，不要只给出简单的答案。这个也许是个很个人的问题，是个习惯问题。但考试是有时间限定的，老师也许会示意你做进一步阐述，所以见到问题的时候就应该有比较完善的，综合个方面因素的理解。也不要给出让人过于吃惊的回答，尤其不要拿出新生代人物对一切都毫不在乎的态度，最好是表现的成熟一点，有条理，有逻辑有道理。都大学生了，而且已经不是懵懂的大一新人，不要在一些简单问题上显得那么幼稚和无知。
7. 一致意见。
要懂得如何配合。懂得如何通过合作达到成事的目的。最后一个部分主要是考察这个能力。讨论的时候不要对对手表示出不屑，冷漠，甚至粗暴等等的不良个性。也不要霸道的占据讨论的大部分时间，那不是成功的表现。要学会主导一段谈话，学会引导别人，使最后的结论水到渠成。这样才是高手。不要到最后还在争论不休，学会如何收场。也不要时间不到就全都沉默了，那就一损俱损了。
8. 摄像机。
摄像机也不是什么新鲜事物，一个黑色的小玩意而已，不要被他吓倒。如果不是十分感兴趣的话，也不要不停的看那个小东西，不然片子出来你会显得很可笑。不知道最后成绩是否真的还要参照录像过程，因为老师们当场都是要给出一定分数的。
9. 英语角备战。
对英语角，我持中立偏肯定态度。首先英语角不是什么神圣的地方，不都是高手，不必害怕露怯，也不都是菜鸟，总能碰到一些口语纯正，也容易沟通和相处的人。
我在大三的时候去外语角比较多，情绪也时时有些变化。大概有半年时间固定的和一学历史的学弟聊天，都是在周五的晚上。他是那种准备出国的孩子，所以对英语学习时刻保持着激情。由于个性都开朗，也算是好学且稍有所得之人，每次聊天都觉得很充实，聊到痛快处也会使用汉语，周五之外也会交流一些英文书籍、资料等，真的是颇有收获。还有的时候会觉得真的是没什么意思，怎么碰上的全都是话不投机，口语又太一般般的人，然后转一圈就走人大吉了。总觉得图书馆前的英语聚会更吸引人，很少去挂着外语角标志的那块地方，感觉不是很明朗的样子，好像连那里的人也都是很闷的那种。
有时候会赶上有外教，但不是所有的外教都是标准英美发音。如果你遇到非欧美外教，也许最好是不要凑热闹，他会让你学习他类似穆沙拉夫的发音，那就误导你了。而且一堆人围着一个，你也许只有听的分，其实不如找个水平相差不多，或者稍高的学生聊上一聊。
以上是题外话。但考试之前去那里与人交流一下还是有好处的，尤其是对那些从来不屑或者不敢去那里的人来说。
10. 难易。
口语考试也许不能用简单与难来形容。它对词汇没有具体明确的要求，对口语水平也没有非常切实的衡量方法，最后的成绩也很难说是绝对的公正公平。但就如同在英语角，相同的话题，不同的人总有不同的态度，用上不同深度的词汇，给出不同的结论，给人不同的印象。总之，口语考试没有一个关于简单和容易的衡量尺度。也许一个高中生会因为对基本词汇的熟练运用，会因为他从容的应对能力而拿到A等证书，同样一个学识渊博，能够准确翻译专业水准的论文的研究生也可能因为其拙劣的口语而得不到即使C等的成绩。去试试吧，当时一定觉得这真是个非常简单非常一般的小考试，甚至会让你对它产生一种轻视与蔑视心理，但成绩出来以后，或者若干时间以后，你就会觉得，参加这么一个小东西，其实也满有趣的。
11. 时间。
考试之前记住时间和考试地点，打听好做哪路车，如果准备打车，记住考试所在地的大名，免得司机都不知道在哪里。如果运气不好，你会一大早赶去，然后直到中午12点才一身疲惫的走出大门。我当时就是这么的不幸。世界上最让人感到痛苦的事情就是等待了，而且是等待这么一件小小事情的发生。考试过程中不允许出来，你必须一直等到你那一组考试完毕。所以你最好带上足够的水，免得口渴影响发挥，也带上纸巾吧，没准你还会出汗呢。如果有朋友跟着，让他们做好思想准备，带上足够的杂志或者报纸吧！
12. 报名。
无论是本次四六级考试达到考试要求，还是以前的，都可以报名，因为我考试当年是不知道有口语考试这一说的，后来才去报名考试。如果你四六级考试都达到要求的话，无论按哪个成绩报名，结果都是一样的。现在还没有区分四级口语和六级口语，也许也没有什么必要。我当时先按四级报名，因为成绩更好一些，后来又怕证书或者考试过程会有所区别，又麻里麻烦去教务处改成六级，结果却是白白浪费了不少精力。这么一点点事情，当时还很在意，说来真是惭愧。希望其他人不要再犯这么初级的错误。
总结陈词
这个考试本身倒是不值得让人感觉紧张。平常心即可。真的不是什么重要得考试。这个证书也不是很硬，甚至你一辈子都用不着这个东西。于是，拿到A等，固然可喜，是对自己口语甚至个性的肯定；得不到证书，也恰是一个正面的打击，可以刺激你全方位的学习英语，对日后的发展可谓有益无害。
以上是本着严肃的态度对四六级口语考试进行很个人的解释，肯定有些言重了的地方，因为要强调一些东西总免不了夸张一点点。其实只是希望看到此帖的人能够有点收益，www.cet4v.com定去参加这场考试的人此战告捷，并在日后的漫长人生中的诸多考试里，愈战愈勇，每战每胜！

备战07年英语四级口语考试加分佳句
1. It's not like that.不是那样的。
这句话是用来辟谣的。当别人误会了一件事的来龙去脉，你就可以跟他说It's not like that.「不是那样的。」当然随着语气及情境的不同，It's not like that.这句话也有可能是你用来硬拗的藉口。
2. There is nothing good playing. 没好电影可看
这里的There's nothing good playing.是接着问句而来的，指的是「没有好电影可看。」同样的，若是电视上没有好节目可看，你就可以说There's nothing good on TV.
3. I've gotten carried away. 我扯太远了。
get carried away字面上的意思是「被带走了」，那么被带走的是什么呢？就是心思。
当你或是他人说话的时候离了题，偏离主旨扯远了。你就可以用上这个表达法I've /You've gotten carried away.
4. Good thing... 还好，幸好…
在美语当中若要表达中文里「还好，幸好…」的语气，你就可以用Good thing...做开头。这个句型非常简单又好用，你只要在Good thing后面加上完整的句子就可以。
5. I don't believe you're bringing this up. 你现在提这件事真是岂有此理
你现在提这件事真是岂有此理bring something up是指「提到（某件事）」。当然情况会有正反两面。你若没想到对方会提起这件事讨骂，你可以说I don't believe you'rebringing this up.。而反过来说，若你很高兴对方主动提起了一件事，你也可以用这个片语，自然说出I am glad you are bringing this up.
6. spy on... 跟监（某人）
spy这个字就是「间谍」。当动词用的意思自然就是「做间谍做的事」，也就是「监视，跟踪」之意。当你要去监视跟踪某人，美语中就说成spy on someone。
7. There's no other way of saying it.没有别种说法
有时候不管你再怎么转、再怎么拗，也没有办法更婉转或是避开一些绝对会出现的字，这时候你就可以用上There's no other way of saying it.这句话，来表达自己避无可避的为难，因为「没有别种说法。」
8. That will not always be the case. 情况不会永远是这样
case这个字有「情况」的意思，That will be the case.就是指「情况就会是这样了。」但是你若觉得??来说That willnot always be the case.「情况不会永远是这样。」
9. She is coming on to you. 她对你有意思
She is coming on to you.这句话是用在两性的关系上，意思是「她对你投怀送抱。」
也就是形容某人对某人有意思的情况，这个句型男女两性都适用；同样的情况，你也可以说She is making a pass at you.「她对你眉来眼去的。」这两种说法都很生动，而且最棒的是没有新单字，赞！
10. I was being polite.我这是在说客气话
polite这个字，我们在学校学的意思是「有礼貌的。」当然你若要说一个人有礼貌，你可以说He is polite.或是He has good manners.
不过I was being polite.这句话是指「我这是在说客气话。」使用的情境比较趋近于客套而不伤和气的出发点，与「做作」artificial (a.)又不一样了。
11. stand someone up 放（某人）鸽子
stand someone up这个词组，大家若是第一次看到，想必多半是满头雾水，怎么单字全都认识，意思却完全猜不出来。其实stand someone up的意思就是「放（某人）鸽子」，这么简单又实用的句子，可得赶快记起来。
12. So that explains it. 原来如此
有时候事情的来龙去脉浑沌不清，让人摸不着头脑，若是突然曙光一现，让你豁然开朗，这会儿你就可以用上这句话So that explains it / everything.「这就都说得通了。」
13. I feel the same way. 我有同感。
当他人说出了你的感觉，你再同意也不过的时候，你就可以用上这句话I feel thesame way.「我有同感。」这句话不但可以让你避免把同样的话再讲一次，帮你省了不少口水，还可以让对方觉得自己的意见被尊重呢。I feel the same way.赶快记起来。
14. Is there someone else? 你是不是有了新欢？
Is there someone else?这句话字面上是指「有其它人吗？」不过Is there someoneelse? 这句话在使用上，问的那个「其它人」一定是感情上的「新欢，新对象」，所以若是情侣或是夫妻之间有人说了这句Is there someone else?「你是不是有了新欢？这可就不太妙了。
15. I can't help myself. 我情不自禁我无法控制自己。
I can't help myself.这句话可不是「我帮不了自己。」（赶快消除记忆），其实 I can't help myself. 这句话的意思是「我情不自禁。」指的是对自己的无能为力。I can't help... 这个句型很好用，若是你遇到一个情况，想要说「我不禁纳闷了起来。」在美语中你就可以直接说: I can't help but wonder.
16. come hell or high water
这个短语的使用时机是当你要去执行一项任务或是做一件事之际，只许成功不许失败的决心。 就犹如中文的「就算天崩地裂…」，比不论发生什么状况都要去完成使命。可以用在句首当作一句话的开头，或是放在句尾补述。
17. have something in common
have something in common是指「彼此有着共通点」，可能是嗜好，也可能是观念。若你和某人完全不对盘，丝毫没有共通点，你就可以说We have nothing in common.
18. What have you got to lose?
What have you got to lose?这句话当中的lose是指「失去」的意思，当有人犹豫不决，始终做不了决定，你就可以用这句话What have you got to lose? 「你有啥好损失的？」，来增强对方破釜沈舟的决心。
19. You shouldn't be so hard on yourself.
这句话是用来安慰他人的，当有人对于自己太过苛责，给与自己让人喘不过气来的压力，你就可以跟对方说这句话You shouldn't be so hard on yourself.「你不该这么苛责自己的」。让对方好过一些。
20. Don't get me started on it.
这句话是指「别让我打开话匣子」，意思是你对于某一件事或是一个主题，有很多的意见，要是让你开了话头，可能就要听你连说个七天七夜，没完没了。Don't get me started on it.这句话是用来表达你对一件事情牢骚满腹的心情
21. When you get down to it
get down to...是指「追究出最根柢的原因」，也就是把层层的原因摊开，在抽丝剥茧之后所得到最精确最原本的那个答案。
22. let someone off
let someone off是指「放某人一马」，也就是let someone off the hook，就如同你在钓鱼，鱼儿上了「钩」hook，而你把它放掉let it off the hook「放它一马」。
23. I don't know what came over me.
这句话的使用时机是，当你觉得自己方才或是回想当时的举动反应，跟平常的自己判若两人，等自己回过味来，才觉得有所不妥，犹如中文里的「我不知道自己是哪根筋不对」。
24. I think you're thinking of somone else.
这句话的使用时机是若谁认错人，或是记错人的时候，你就可以跟对方说I thinkyou're thinking of someone else.「我觉得你是想到别人去了」
listenning
考过新四级之后我才发现新四级的听力并没有想象中的那么难，不过新四级的时间确实比较紧张，特别是复合式听力养成良好的听记习惯很重要，因为有些填空的空格是很长的。另外积累单词量也很要紧，一旦漏听或不理解中心词，复合式听力就会变得很困难。以下说说我的复习和考试 心得。 （一）长短对话
四六级实际考场并不是很严格，在进入section A之前有近两分钟的directions，而念directions时是允许看选项的，这两分钟一定要好好利用，速度快的话section A的选项几乎全能扫一遍，更重要的是很多题是可以通过选项猜题目的。而且section A下判断快一些的话，做到最后两题，就可以多空出些时间看section B的选项。
其实section A的问题也就是那么一些，这里大概整理了一下，供大家参考：
1）说话人什么意思
What does the man mean (imply)?
What does the woman's answer suggest?
2）对话提供了什么信息或结论
What can we learn from the conversation?
What can be concluded from this conversation?
3）是什么（包括谈话内容、谈话人的身份）
What is the man's answer?
What are they talking about?
Who is the man?
4）做什么
What are the speakers doing now?
What will happen after that?
5）对某人或某事有什么看法
What does the man think of his boss?
What is the woman‘s attitude towards the plan?
6）对话中隐含的时间、地点
Where does this conversation most probably take place?
Where does this conversation most likely occur?
When will he be paid?
平时要多练习猜题目的工夫，有助于提高考试的速度。比如在读选项的时候注意四个选项里都出现的中心词，比如program，television，这 样就能知道对话大概是关于媒体的，还要注意选项中其他重复出现的动词、形容词和数词，有时候人名也是考题，如对话中出现两个人名，就要注意他们分别做了什 么，不过这种题挺少的。而且如果四个选项中有且只有一个选项含有数字或者专用名词，这个选项一般不对。
有些同学平时会在预先读选项的时候划中心词，做笔记，这在考试中是来不及的。两分钟里大致留个概念就行了。
正式开始念录音的时候，精神一定要高度集中。每一道题的选择都要果断，千万不要在一个题上停半天，多停五秒钟，后面会漏听整整一段甚至两段对话。因此，该放弃的时候也要当机立断。实在舍不得，就在在两个section的空挡间稍微回过去看看吧。
另外，如果各位复习时间充裕的话，完全可以找一些早年的TOEFL题来听，很多四六级的出题法则跟TOEFL题很像，我以前还做到过和TOEFL题几 乎一样的对话。两者的区别在于，TOEFL比四六级快了将近一倍，中间的空挡也很短。所以，如果能习惯老的TOEFL听力对话，四六级做全对都是有可能 的。 （二）复合式听力
共十个空。前八空为单个单词填写，必须写下听到的准确形式，即听到什么写什么。得分，每空0.5分，共4分。后三空为句子填写。可以按照自己的话将要点写下来。后三空的分数设置为：2分、2分和2分。三句中最长的一句是0.5+0.5+1的句子。
前八空的单词的出题标准很简单，基本上全能听懂，这里容易出错的地方是拼写。比如2001年考environmental，很多人就漏写了中间的n。 我的办法是：把那些我每次写都要犹豫一下的单词，都记在小本子上，其实也不会很多，考前翻翻就行。另外，前七空的单词也会涉及单复数、时态、语态等多种变 化。特别是动词的完成时态，还有一些o字收尾的词的复数形式不是加es，而是s，这些都最好自己查一遍才会印象深刻。
对于后三空，我强烈建议大家在平时多练习听记文章结构的技巧。也就是说关键在于听懂全文大意，因为这几个空并不是要完全按照原文的，只要意思对而且连 得起来就可以了。所以听记千万不要想把每个词都记下来，那是不可能的，特别是一些没有实际意义的词比如连词根本没必要记下来。其实复合式听力的段子都是挺 规范的，像我们中小学的文章，有总分结构之类的。我的办法是在开头听出总括的意思，写几个关键词下来，再按1、2、3、4的步骤把分段落的关键词些下来， 基本上可以形成一个框架结构的。记提纲的时候把数字呀、动词呀、比较级之类的记下来。总之，在整体上知道说的是什么意思是最重要的，即使没听全，有些题按 常识猜也能做的。
听写的时间也应有所安排：第一遍，单词部分尽量写出首字母一个或两个。以减少第二遍的负担。句子部分，尽量确定主语和谓语；第二遍，单词部分填写完整。句子部分，用自己的语言结构出主要含义。第三遍，检查单词部分。完善句子部分。
写作
1 现在的四六级考试中作文多以议论文为主，在议论文中，由于本身内容趣味性不是特别强，所以在写作中要注意词汇的润色，正在这中间过渡词的使用就显得重要，过渡性词语主要有“起，承，转，合”的作用，可以很好的作为作文的润滑剂，正确合灵活运用这些词汇能使作文结构清晰，逻辑合理，文章流畅。我在复习的时候总结的，希望对大家有帮助。。。。1 开头段用来起头的词语
at first,first of all,in the first place,for one thing...for another thing,now,nowadays,at present,recently,lately,on the one hand..on the other hand,with the development of ....,as is known to us all,it is said that,it is reported that.
2 说明次序关系的词语
first,second,third,finally,firstly,secondly,thirdly,eventually,at last,furthermore,above all,moreover,afterwards,what's more,what's worse.
3 表示时间顺序的词语
before,after that,now,next,as soon as, not ....until,then,just then,later,until,since,ever since,from then on,while,meanwhile,hardly.... when(倒装）,no sooner ...than（倒装).
4 表示空间关系的词语
between,beside,beyond,across,over,at,from...to,outside,inside,above,against,around,at the bottom,behind,below,close to,in the center of,in the distance,in the middle of,nearby,next to ,on the opposite side,on the top of.
5表示因果关系的词语
as a result of,result in,as a result,accordingly,because,because of,due to ,owing to, now that,in that,since,for,so that,as a consequence of,consequently,hence,the reason why....is that...,for that\this reason,thus,so,therefore,in this\that way.on account of.
6表示逻辑关系的词语
or else,otherwise,if so,under no circumstances.
7表示比较或对比让步和转折的词语

2008年6月大学英语四级考试作文范文
Among various recipes one enjoys in his or her college life, recreational activities can by no means be ignored. It is numerous activities, such as spoken English competitions, sports events, and clubs and societies of different interests, that help to make campus life colorful and diversified.
Facing so many interesting extracurricular activities, we college students have trouble to choose the proper ones. As freshmen, we are confused by all kinds of posters for students’ clubs to recruit new members. There are two opposite views about recreational activities. One says they exert positive influence on a student’s physical and mental development, for they can explore a student’s talent, develop a student's ability in communication, and teach them to be more independent. While, opposite voices can also be heard by asserting that recreational activities waste too much time, and therefore may hinder student from focusing on his or her study.
As for me, I hold a belief that recreational activities do more good than harm, because I have always been of the impression that as a college student, he or she, besides the academic information, should pick up more practical skills to be better prepared for the career development. Recreational activities do give us a good chance. And, so long as one can arrange the time by reason, activities besides study will definitely provide more benefit for us.
Recreational activity
In people’s daily life, there are various recreational activities apart from studying or working ranging from Karaoke or dancing to computer games or sports games.
Such activities are beneficial as well as harmful to us if undertaken inappropriately. On one hand, recreational activities can help us to not only build our body and mind but also improve our communication and understanding with friends because most of these activities are done with others. On the other hand, if we spend too much time on singing, dancing or other games, we might fail to concentrate on our duties such as studying our working, which in turn may lead to further consequences.
As far as I’m concerned, recreational activities should be done within a certain limit so that we can keep a proper balance between recreation and studying or working life.
Recreational Activities
In the era of information and technology, there are all kinds of recreational activities. Some people think those recreational activities are great and necessary, because they can help people relax from the hard work and study. Some of the activities, such as hiking, jogging, can help people relax physically; while some of them, such as surfing the Internet, can help people relax mentally.
However, some people think that so many kinds of recreational activities may have a bad effect on our lives. Some people may not resist some temptations from those activities, and indulge themselves in those activities. At last they are lured away from their study or their work.
In my opinion, we should pay more attention to the advantages of various recreational activities and make the most of them. Meanwhile, we should learn how to use those activities positively, and make them a helpful tool for our development.
分析：此次写作题目与昨天我们预测的写作题目之一The Internet重合度非常高，都属于正反论证类，需要考生论述正反两方的观点，并最终表明自己的观点。写作中可用的句型和表达也与The Internet的范文达到高达70%的重合度。具体参加下面的预测范文。
Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic The Internet. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in hinese:
1. 有人认为网络可以让学习、工作更有效率2. 还有人认为网络让青少年沉迷，进而影响学习3. 你对于网络的看法
The Internet
In the era of information and technology, the Internet has played an improtant role in our society. With the Internet, it's easy to get the information we need, improving the efficiency of our study and work. We can't deny that it is impossible for lots of people to achieve great success in the modern society without the Internet.
However, some people think that the Internet has a bad effect on the growth of the teenagers. The teenagers are too young to resist some temptations from the Internet. Some of them indulge themselves in the Internet and at last are lured away from the study.
In my opinion, we should pay more attention to the advantages of the Internet and make the most of it. Meanwhile, we should teach the teenagers how to use the Internet positively, and make the Internet a tool for their healthy development.
Recreational Activities
21st century has brought with it an unprecedented variety of recreational activities ranging from traditional outdoor activities such as playing ball games to all kinds of online ones, the latter of which is a great appeal to the young generation. So I’d like to narrow my topic down to online recreational activities.
It goes without saying that various activities brought by modern technology have greatly broadened our horizon and brought much excitement to us. With access to the Internet, you can get to know people from any country in the world and you can talk with them, play games with them --- a temptation very hard to resist, and even see them via web cam. The disadvantage, however, is that anyone who lacks self-control would very easily get lost and become addicted to the online world, which in turn might seriously affect their life, work and interpersonal relationships.
As a college student, I think what really matters is to make better choice and exert more discipline. We’d better take advantage of good online recreational activities to enrich our lives and broaden the scope of knowledge. When it comes to those addictive, time-consuming and less meaningful activities, I think to stay away from them is a wise decision.
Recreational Activities
With the development of living standard, people spend more time on various forms of recreational activities. People can do sports, singing karaoke, go dancing, go to the movies, play video games or online games, or surf the Internet.
Recreational activities are good to people’s health, both physically and mentally. Sports and dancing can keep people fit. Singing karaoke, playing video games or online games can satisfy people’s imagination. Surfing the Internet can bring people a lot of information and knowledge.
However, recreational activities might be harmful if people are addicted. Spending too much time on recreational activities will seriously influence people’s normal lives, especially work and study. Therefore, people will benefit from recreational activities only if they take part in them properly.
此次作文难度适中，沿袭了往年的常考题型—argumentation型，讨论某一主题的利 弊。本次题目recreational activities涵盖面宽，因此考生需要注意把话题缩小到某一个范围，对于大学生而言，对于网络上的娱乐活动可能更有话可说，所以可以把这个很泛的话题限制在网络娱乐活动。而对于网上活动的利弊想必同学们都可以说出一二，好处比如能够开阔眼界、增长知识，弊端就是很容易上瘾，影响学习生活；而个人的看 法就是用其精华弃其糟粕，即利用其好处，对不好的地方避而远之。这是个比较容易套用模板的题目，如果同学们在考前熟悉了这种体裁的写作，拿到相对理想的分数应该不是难事。

例2：投诉信
(1)陈述你对学校图书馆的不满 (2)列举图书馆存在的问题 (3)希望能够得到改进
September, 11
Dear President,
I am a sophomore with the Department of Law. My name is Wang Ming. I am writing to you today to intimate you with something undesirable that I have found in the University Library.
You may or may not realize how much our library, the landmark of our university or even of our town, weighs in our minds. It is a place we are most proud of and where we like to spend most of our time. In such an honorable place we have noticed recently some phenomena which hurt our eye. Some seats in the reading rooms are ‘permanently reserved vacant seats’, that is, some students “occupy” some seats they never come to use. What a terrible waste of valuable resource! Some other students are too noisy, talking among themselves, leaving mobile phone beeping anytime. And some library staff is ill-mannered and rude and not helpful most of time. These and other undesirable things have already done damage to the fame of our university and caused a lot of inconvenience to the users.
Dear President, we hope that something can be done to change and reverse the current situation. Let our cozy, comfortable, quiet, effective library come back.
Best wishes
英语四级阅读理解练习题 第150组
The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs." He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can uselanguage only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.
My topic is www.cet4v.com its decline (降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.
My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.
The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.
Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rathe as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be doing their jobs.Otherwise, www.cet4v.com not commit offenses against the language.

[A] gave a correct judgement of the English level of the students
[B] had exaggerated the language problems of the students
[C] was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobs
[D] could think and speak intelligently
18. The author's attitude towards the speaker's remarks is ______.
[A] neutral
[B] positive
[C] critical
[D] compromising
19. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.
[A] it is justifiable to include English as a school subject
[B] the author disagrees with the speaker over the stadard of English at Grade 9 level
[C] English language teaching is by no means an easy job

(1)In the 1960s, many young Americans were dissatisfied with American society. They wanted to end the Vietnam War and to make all of the people in the
Not all communes believed in the philosophy of "do you own thing," however . Twin Oaks , a commune founded in Virgiania in the late 1960s, was based on the ideas of psychologist B.F.Skinner. The people who lived at Twin Oaks were carefully controlled by Skinner's "conditioning" techniques to do things that were good for the community. In 1972, Italian architect Paolo Soleri began to build Arcosanti, a utopian city Arizsona where 2500 people will live closely together in one large building called an "archology" Soleri believes that people must live closely together so that they will all become one.

(2)Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.
Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should leave one in your lap,or on the table?
The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a wonman or offer their seat to a woman , and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-----especially if they are your guests. When the food was served , one of the guests strated to eat his peas with a knife . The other guests were amused or shocked , but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

(3)As she walked round the huge department store,Edith reflected how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father.She wish that he was as easy to please as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume
Besides,shoppong at this time of the year was a most disgreeable experience :people trod on your toes,poked you with their elbows and almost knocked you overin their haste to get to a bargain ahead of you.
Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter where some attracive ties were on display. "They are real silk," the assistant assured her, trying to tempt her. "Worth double the price." But edit knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
She moved on reluctantly and then quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of man had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality pipes on sale-----and the prices were very reasonable. Edith did not hesitate for long : although her father only smoked a pipe occasionally, she knew that this was a present which was bund to please him.
When she got home,with her small well-chosen present concealed in her handbag, her parents were already at the supper table. Her mother was in an especially cheerful mood, "Your father has at last to decided to stop smoking." She informed her daughter.

(4)As the pace of life continues to increase ,we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift,being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is an natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. In fact ,it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be .A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation adn give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress,and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress,in whatever form,we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme,but however little the stress,it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long,through continued exposure to stress,that health becomes endangered.Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress.Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it.
1.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____.
a.they do not know how to enjoy themselves
b.they do not believe that relaxation is important for health

(5)Today ,as in every other day of the year ,more than 3000 U.S. adlescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults. During their lifetime,it can be expected that of these 3000 about 23 will be murdered,30 will die in traffic accidents, and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-related disease. The number of deaths attributed to cigarette smoking outweithts all other factors, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a cause of death.
Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 precent , smoking rates among youth have declined . While the decline is impressive ,several important issues must be raised.
First, in the past several years,smoking rates among youth have declined very little. Second,in the late 1970s ,smoking among male high school seniors exceeded that among female by nearly 10 percent . The statistic is reversing.Third ,several recent studies have indicate high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates, as much as 75 percent .
Finally, thouth significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred in the past decade,no definite reasons for the decline exist. Within this context,the Naional Cancer Instiute (NCI) began its current effort to determine the most effecive measures to reduce smoking levesl among youth.
1.According to the author, the deaths among youth are mainly caused by _____.
a.traffic accidents
b.smoking-related desease

a.smoking rates among youth have declined very little
b.there are now more female than male smokers among high school seniors
c.high smoking rates are due to the incease in wealth
d.smoking at high school are from low socio-economic backgrounds
(6)Women are also underrepresented in the administration and this is because there are so few women full professors. In 1985,Regent Beryl Milburn produced a report blasting the
One of the positive results from her study was a System-wide program to inform women of available administrative jobs.
Although a woman may face a chilly climate on campus , many times in order for her to succeed , she must rise above the problems around her and concentrate on her work.
Until women make up a greater percentage of the senior positions in the University and all academia,inequities will exist.
"Women need to spend their energies and time doing scholarly activities that are important here at the University." Spirduso said. "If they do that will be successful in this system.If they spend their time in little groups mourning the sexual discrimination that they think exists here, they are wasting valuable study time."
1.According to Spirduso,women need to ____.
a.produce a report on sexual discrimination
b.call for further improvement in their working conditions
c.spend their energies and time fighting against sexual discrimination
d.spend more time and energy doing scholarly activities

(7)New Orleans, Louisiana, was established as part of the French Empire in 1718.
Its location on the east bank of the Mississippi River gave it control of the American hinerland and it became strategically important to many nations. It was transferred from France to Spain, returned to France,and finally sold by Napoleon to the United States in 1803. The city was the site of a famous battle fought in 1815 between the British, who hoped to control it , and the Americans under General And rew Jackson.
The riverbed of the Mississippi is constantly silting and the river is now actually higher than the city. Levees hold back the river and giant pumps are used to move water from the city into the river.
Although New Orleans haas beena part of the United States for almost two centuries, its population takes great pride in its French heritage. Louisiana still retains parts of the Code Napoleon which,form many years,was its only law.
New Orleans is carefree city and it boasts its hot, spicy Creole seafood and its native Dixieland Jazz. The jackson Square neighborhood maintains its French colonial homes and in other sections are pre-Civil War mansions. Visitors are surprised to find that behind this interesting facade of yesteryear, is a busy industrial and port city. Grain and coal come from the Midwest and foreigh cargoes are unloaded here. New Orleans is no longer a sleepy Southern town----but it's still fun to visit.

(8)Newdays,a standard for measuring power has changed.These changes foretell a new standard for measuring power.No longer will a nation's political influence be based solely on the strength of its military forces. Of course, military effectiveness will remain a primary primary measure of power.But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. It's often said that without its military the Soviet Union would really be a third-world nation. The new standard of opwer and influence that is evolving now places more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic markets of the world.
America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership.
The competitiveness of America's industrial base is an issue bigger than the Department of Defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society-government,industry,and education. That is not to say that the Defense Department will not be a strong force in the process because we will. But we simply cannot be, nor should we be, looked upon by others as the savior of American industry.
1. Now a nation's political influence depends on _________.
a. the strength of its military forces
b. its ability to compete in industry
c. economic markets
d. both a and b
2. The Soviet Union was not listed as a third-world nation just because of _________.
a. its powerful military forces
b. its vast land
c. its industrial competitiveness
d. its contributions to world peace
3. The author indicates that ______ is threatening American political power.
a. other countries
b. the declining U.S. industrial base
c. a new standard for measuring power
d. less advanced technology
4. America succeeded in shaping world events over past 40 years probably because of ___________.
a. its ability to adapt technology
b. its ability to take advantage of the capabilities of its people
c. its ability to compete in the world markets
d. both a and b
5. The purpose of writing this article is __________.
a. to draw the readers' attention to a new standard for measuring power
b. to demonstrate American political influence in the world
c. to emphasize that efforts must be made to strengthen the declining U.S. industrial base
d. to show American industrial prowess
(9)The United States is on the verge of losing its leading place in the world's technology. So says more than one study in recent years. One of the reasons for this decline is the parallel decline in the number of U.S. scientists and engineers.
Since 1976,employment of scientists and engineers is up 85 percent. This trend is expected to continue. However, the trend shows that the number of 22-year-olds--the near term source of future PH.D.s-is declining. Further adding to the problem is the increased competition for these candidates from other fields-law,medicine,business,etc. While the number of U.S. PH.D.s in science and engineering declines,the award of PH.D.s to foreign nationals is increasing rapidly.
Our inability to motivate students to pursue science and engineering careers at the graduate level is compounded because of the intense demand industry has for bright Bachelor's and Master's degree holders. Too often, promising PH.D.candidates, confronting the cost and financial sacrifice of pursuing their education,find the attraction of industry irresistible.
1.The U.S.will come to lose its leading place in technology probably because ________.
a. the number of PH.D. degree holders is declining
b. the number of scientists and engineers is decreasing
c. the number of 22-year-ilds is declining
d. scientists and engineers are not employed
2.The field of science and engineering is facing a competition from ________ .
a. technology
b. foreign nationals
c. such fields as law, medicine and business
d. postgraduates
3.Large-scale enterprises now need _______.
a. bright graduates and postgraduates b. new inventions
c. advanced technology d. engineers
4.Many promising postgraduates are unwilling to pursue a PH.D. degree because _________.
a. they are not encouraged to be engaged in science
b. industry does not require PH.D. holders
c. they have financial difficulties
d. they will spend much time and energy completing PH.D.
5.PH.D. candidates "find the attraction of industry irresistible" means that _________.
a. they find industry is attracting more and more college students
b. they don't think they can prevent themselves from working for industry
c. they cannot resist any attraction from all sides
d. they cannot work for industry any longer
(10)If the population of the earth goes on increasing at its present rate, there will eventually not be enough resources left to sustain life on the planet.By the middle of the 21st century,if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars,for example.Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race,the crowded conditions on earth will make it necessary for lus to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however,has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.
Sagan believes that before the earth's resources are compleetely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmophere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as earth itself. The difficult is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.
Sagan proposes that algae organisms that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen,should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus.As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere .In a fairly short time, the alge will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.
When the algae have done theri work, the atmosphere will become cooler,but befor man can set foot on Venus it will be neccessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.
1.Inte long run, the most insoluble problem caused by population growth on earth will probably be the lack of ______.
a.food b.oil c.space d.resources
2.Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be colonized from earth because _____
a.it might be possible to change its atmosphere
b.its atmosphere is the same as the earth's
c.there is a good supply of water on Venus
d.the days on Venus are long enough
3.On Venus there is a lot of ________.
a.water
b.carbon dioxide
c.carbon monoxide
d.oxygen
4.Algae are plants that can____.
a.live in very hot temperatures
b.live in very cold temperatures
c.manufacture oxygen
d.all of the above
5. Man can land on Venus only when_______.
a.the algae have done their work
b.the atmosphere becomes cooler
c.thereis oxygen
d.it rains there
(11)What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow , orange ,red? If you do ,you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet,shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tells us, among other facts,that we do not choose our favourite clour as we grow up----we are born with our preference.If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
Colours do influence our moods－there is no doubt about it .A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand ,black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ----until it was repainter green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply ;perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
Light and bright colours make people not only hppier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better,harder ,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
1."You would rather follow than red" means_______.
a.you don't like to follow others

（12）On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Carke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with her money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the over 60s Club. She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.
At six o'clock she cane home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.
Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door-"a master key"perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time,dressed as usual, but she didn't go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.
It was just after four o'clock when the front door bell rang.Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly towards the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.

（13）Many people believe the glare from snow causes snowblindnenss. Yet, dark glasses or not , they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes,and even snowblindness,when exposed to several hours of "snow light" .
The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness in troops in a snow-covered country.Rather, a man's eyes frequently find nothing to foucs on in a broad expanse of barren snow-covered terrain. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of tsomething to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never sotp searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature offsets this irritation by producing more and fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid coversthe eyeball in increasing quantity until vision blurs, then is obsured,and the result is total, even though temporary,snowblindness.
Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape,Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight , dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus . The men following can then see something.Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see,stop scouring the snow-blanketed lanscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time,the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a solid white terrain is overcome.
1.To prevent headaches, watering eyes and blindness caused by the glare from snow, dark glasses are_____.
a.indispensible
b.useful
c.ineffective
d.available
2.When the eyes are sore tears are produced to ________.
a.clear the vision
b.remedy snowblindness
c.ease the irritation

3.Snowblindness may be avoided by_______.
a.concentrating to the solid white terrain
b.searching for something to look at in snow-covered terrain
c.providing the eyes with something to foucs on
d.covering the eyeballs with fluid
4.The scouts shake snow from evergreen bushes in order to _______.
a.bive the men behind something to see
b.beautify the landscape
c.warm themselves in the cold
d.prevent the men behind from losing their way
5.A suitable title for this passage would be _______.
a.snowblindness and how to overcome it
b.natrue's cure for snowblindness
c.soldiers in the snow
d.snow vision
（14）Water problems in the future will become nore intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes,primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decease substantialy the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasingquantities of agricultural chemicals, From this , it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.
There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes "prior to " disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes, or efflunets,to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal.
A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement . Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Efflunets from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water.

（15）One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like "I was wrong about that," and it is even harder to say, "I was wrong , and you were right about that."
I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighbourhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons. Then he related an incident and Ibegan to remember vaguely the incident he was describing.
I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gome into the store with may mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident tood place.
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs indozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I want to work.
The manager heard the moise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit. He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not.

（16）Flying over a desert area in an airplane, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour's flight one of the scientists wrote in his book, 'Look here for probable metal' Scientists in another airplane, flying over a mountain region,sent a message to other scientists on the ground,'Gold possible.' Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported,'This ground should be searched for metals.' From an airplane over a hilly wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word,'Uranium'.
None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic powers for looking down below the earth's surface. They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of location minerals in the ground---using trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.
This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.
At Watson Bar Creek, a brook six thousand feet high in the mountains of
Study of the roots , branches,and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.
If the trees had not indicated that there was gold in the ground, the scientists would not have spent money to pay for digging into the deeper. They did dig and found more fold below. They dug deeper. They found large quantities of gold.

（17）What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow , orange ,red? If you do ,you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet,shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tells us, among other facts,that we do not choose our favourite clour as we grow up----we are born with our preference.If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
Colours do influence our moods－there is no doubt about it .A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand ,black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ----until it was repainter green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply ;perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
Light and bright colours make people not only hppier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better,harder ,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
1."You would rather follow than red" means_______.
a.you don't like to follow others
b.you would be a member rather than a leader
c.you would be afraid of following others
d.you would like to be a leader rather than a follower
2.If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer________.
a.red to yellow
b.blue to orange
c.red to grey

3."They tell us, among other facts,that we don't choose our favourite colours as we grow up." "Among other facts" means______.
a.besides other facts
b.in regard to other facts
c.not considering other facts
d.according to other facts
4.Which of the following is facts?
a.People's preference of one colour to another is instinct
b.People's preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up.

（18）If the population of the earth goes on increasing at its present rate, there will eventually not be enough resources left to sustain life on the planet.By the middle of the 21st century,if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars,for example.Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race,the crowded conditions on earth will make it necessary for lus to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however,has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.
Sagan believes that before the earth's resources are compleetely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmophere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as earth itself. The difficult is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.
Sagan proposes that algae organisms that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen,should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus.As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere .In a fairly short time, the alge will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.
When the algae have done theri work, the atmosphere will become cooler,but befor man can set foot on Venus it will be neccessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.
1.Inte long run, the most insoluble problem caused by population growth on earth will probably be the lack of ______.
a.food
b.oil
c.space
d.resources
2.Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be colonized from earth because _____
a.it might be possible to change its atmosphere
b.its atmosphere is the same as the earth's
c.there is a good supply of water on Venus
d.the days on Venus are long enough
3.On Venus there is a lot of ________.
a.water
b.carbon dioxide
c.carbon monoxide
d.oxygen
4.Algae are plants that can____.
a.live in very hot temperatures
b.live in very cold temperatures
c.manufacture oxygen
d.all of the above
5. Man can land on Venus only when_______.
a.the algae have done their work
b.the atmosphere becomes cooler
c.thereis oxygen
d.it rains there
（19）The United States is on the verge of losing its leading place in the world's technology. So says more than one study in recent years. One of the reasons for this decline is the parallel decline in the number of U.S. scientists and engineers.
Since 1976,employment of scientists and engineers is up 85 percent. This trend is expected to continue. However, the trend shows that the number of 22-year-olds--the near term source of future PH.D.s-is declining. Further adding to the problem is the increased competition for these candidates from other fields-law,medicine,business,etc. While the number of U.S. PH.D.s in science and engineering declines,the award of PH.D.s to foreign nationals is increasing rapidly.
Our inability to motivate students to pursue science and engineering careers at the graduate level is compounded because of the intense demand industry has for bright Bachelor's and Master's degree holders. Too often, promising PH.D.candidates, confronting the cost and financial sacrifice of pursuing their education,find the attraction of industry irresistible.

c. such fields as law, medicine and business
d. postgraduates
3.Large-scale enterprises now need _______.
a. bright graduates and postgraduates
b. new inventions
c. advanced technology
d. engineers
4.Many promising postgraduates are unwilling to pursue a PH.D. degree because _________.
a. they are not encouraged to be engaged in science
b. industry does not require PH.D. holders
c. they have financial difficulties
d. they will spend much time and energy completing PH.D.
5.PH.D. candidates "find the attraction of industry irresistible" means that _________.
a. they find industry is attracting more and more college students
b. they don't think they can prevent themselves from working for industry
c. they cannot resist any attraction from all sides
d. they cannot work for industry any longer

第二十一篇答案+解说：
1.【答案】D【解析】因为大部分人不知道如何正确锻炼，所以，人们在训炼时常会遇到麻烦。句中you表示泛指。
2.【答案】C【解析】“希望“邻近的脂肪消耗掉，在此符合语境；understand，know不合逻辑，因为，即已”明白“，就不会不符合事实真相；believe表示的是人的得一种看法，而看法有对有错。
3.【答案】B【解析】下一句中再现了burn这一词。
4.【答案】C【解析】truth本意为“真理”，此处引申为“事实”——指实际锻炼时脂肪消耗的情形。余者不合文意。

6.【答案】A【解析】根据常识可知，“不锻炼的肌肉会很快丧失力量。
7.【答案】D【解析】根据前一句“要重新获得力量需要48到72个小时可知，每隔一天锻炼一次可保持正常水平的体力。”
8.【答案】A【解析】本句意思是“为了——体重，人们应该通过锻炼来出汗”。空格处显然应该是“减少”。而不是“增加”或”“保持”，更不可能是“燃烧”。
9.【答案】B【解析】表示对该节首句看法的否定。首句看法的错误性可从下文推知。
10.【答案】B【解析】根据to prevent over heating可知，sweating的作用是降低体温。

13.【答案】A【解析】由To lose weight you should…可推知，余者不在本节论及范围之内。
14.【答案】C【解析】throughout the body遍及全身。余者不合文意。
15.【答案】A【解析】have effect on“对……产生影响”，合乎文意，合乎搭配。

18.【答案】A【解析】与上一句中minimum amount形成对比，if引导条件句。
19.【答案】C【解析】本节是上一节内容的继续，论述的仍是“锻炼”。walking不能概括全面，应舍去。
20.【答案】C【解析】指出原因——“(运动)过量”。enough，much表意不清，much too后应接其它词。
Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children.And they must have 1 how difficult it is to write a 2 children's book.Either the author has aimed too 3 , so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 4 the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children's books are 5 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 6 who hears the story and the adult who 7 it.Unfortunately, there are in fact 8 books like this, 9 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 10 to solve.
This may be why many of books regarded as 11 of children's literature were in fact written for 12 .“Alice's Adventure in Wonderland”is perhaps the most 13 of this.
Children, left for themselves, often 14 the worst possible interest in literature.Just leave a child in bookshop o 15 and he will 16 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 17 of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash childrensintos 18 our taste in literature.After all children and adults are so 19 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 20 books.So I suppose we'll just have to compromise over that bedtime story.

2.【答案】C【解析】根据意思判断，beyond意为“超出，超过”。
3.【答案】B【解析】因land on意为“使……着陆”,而send, take和carry表示“把……送到……上去”时,常接介词to,故应选land.

英语是一种表形语言，也就是其变化体现在形式上。这些变化主要体现在动词的接续关系上，形容词级的变化上和名词数的变化上等。这一点是与汉语截然不同的，也是英汉两种语言互相转换过程中的难点。
单句改错要求考生有较强的语感、较高的阅读理解能力及较扎实的语法和词汇的运用能力。
英语单句改错主要测试学习者以下知识和能力：
1．动词是承载信息量最大的一类词，它主要体现在语法结构的时、体、语态、语气和非谓语形式等方面。
【误】She pretended having finished her homework all by herself．她装出自己做完作业的样子。
pretend应接不定式的完成式to have finished，而不接动名词的完成式having finished。
【误】There is now some hope of being a settlement of the border dispute between the two countries．现在有希望解决两国边境争端问题。
there be作of宾语，应为there being。There is now some hope of there being a settlement of the border dispute between the two countries．
2．名词、代词、数词、形容词和副词，这些词的语法内容包括名词的数、格；代词的数、格、指代一致，及各种数的表达；形容词、副词的级和在句子中的位置、词序、同类比较等。
【误】This road is not wider than that one．这条路没有那条路宽。
not．．．more than不存在否定形式，应用notso／as．．．as结构。应改为This road is not so wide as that one．
【误】During Song Dynasty，China was time again harassed by the Northern tribes．在宋朝，中原一次又一次地受到北方部落的侵扰。
在专有名词前应加上定冠词，所以应为the Song Dynasty。
3．固定搭配和惯用短语。学习词汇必须学习搭配和惯用语。搭配因词性的变化而变化，而惯用语是约定俗成的。
【误】You are called on the phone．你的电话。
应改为You are wanted on the phone。
【误】At this stage，there is only soft intelligence about the enemy intention．We should not shoot him from the back．在目前，关于敌人的意图还只有不太充分的情报，我们不能鲁莽行动。
shoot somebody from the hip是固定搭配，而不是from the back。
4．音形相近的词、同义词和近义词。根据上下文的语义及用法搭配关系，通过比较进行辨异。
【误】Man lonely of the animals has language．在动物中只有人才有语言。
lonely应改为alone。
【误】This book provides a comprehensible study of the topic．这本书提供了对这个题目的综合研究。
comprehensible是"能理解的"；comprehensive是"综合的，包含内容多的"。
5．句型。首先要考虑句子涉及的是什么句型，句子是否完整。英语中的主要句型有：存在、强调、省略、倒装等。
【误】Itis during his spare time when he has been studying a course in English．他是在闲暇时间学英语课的。
本句是强调句型it is．．．that，when应改为that。
【误】By no means it is true that all English people know their own language well．事实上决不是所有的英国人都精通自己的语言。
由于by no means引导倒装句，所以it is应为is it。
短文改错是语篇层次上的改错，要求把词汇、结构和意义看成是有机的整体，要求跨越传统英语学习中词汇和句子的思维范畴，把词法、句法与篇章的句子联系起来，建立句子与句子之间的思维范畴，建立整体语感，进行语篇分析，判断错误所在，并加以改正。
众所周知，孤立的词与用在句子中的词是不同的；孤立的句子与组成篇章的句子也不同。所谓语篇分析，一方面是指判断词与词在句子中通过语法结构所起到的作用和意义（包括同义、近义、反义、上下义、相关义）；另一方面是指句与句之间的成分关系、结构词和语法变体；再者是指语篇水平上的逻辑关系，包括 省略、替代、重复、比较、平行、照应、篇章连接信号词、写作体裁和风格等。
把握层次关系，进行语篇分析，就能做到前后照应，就容易发现词汇和语法结构、内容上下贯通方面的问题，并根据上下文进行改正。
Although it might have happened anywhere， my encounter with the green banana started on a steep mountain road in the interior of Brazil．My ancient jeep was straining up through spectacular countryside when the radiator began to leak，ten miles from the nearest mechanic．The over-heated engine forced me to stop at the next village，which consisted of a small store and a scattering of houses．People gathered to look．Three fine streams of hot water spouted from holes in the jacket of the radiator．"That's easy to fix，"a man said．He sent a boy running to some green bananas．He patted me on the shoulder，assuring me everything would work out．"Green bananas，"he smiled． Everyone agreed．
We exchanged pleasantries while I mulled over the ramifications of green banana．Asking questions would betray my ignorance，but I remarked on the beauty of the terrain．Huge rock formations，like Sugar Loaf in Rio，rose up all around us．"Do you see that tall one right over there？"asked my benefactor，pointing to a particular tall， slender pinnacle of dark rock．"That rock marks the center of the world．"
I looked to see if he were teasing me，but his face was serious．He in return inspected me carefully to be sure I grasped the significance of his statement． The occasion demanded some show of recognition on my part．"The center of the world？"I repeated，trying to convey interest if not complete acceptance．He nodded．"The absolute center．Everyone around here knows it．"
At that moment the boy returned with my green bananas．The man sliced one in half and pressed the cut end against the radiator jacket．The bananas melted into a glue against the hot metal，plugging the leaks instantly．Everyone laughed at my astonishment． They filled my radiator and gave me extra bananas to take along．An hour later，after one more application of green bananas，my radiator and I reached our destination．The local mechanic smiled．"Who taught you about the green banana？"I named the village．"Did they show you the rock marking the center of the world？"he asked．I assured him they had．"My grandfather came fromthere，"he said．"The exact center． Everyone around here has always known about it．"
本文讲述了一个在巴西的美国人，因旧吉普车水箱漏水而被迫在一个小村庄停下来修理。当地村民用青香蕉堵漏水箱的办法，给这个美国人留下了深刻的印象。
本文用词幽默诙谐，如My ancient jeep．．．， Asking questions would betray my ignorance．．．， An hour later，after one more application of green bananas，my radiator and I reached our destination．等，产生了很好的语言效果。
在第一段中，He sent a boy running to some green bananas．（他派一个男孩跑到青香蕉那儿去了。）从上下文来看，与At that moment the boy returned with my green bananas．（那时那个男孩带着给我的青香蕉回来了。）不符。应改为He sent a boy running for some green bananas．（他派一个男孩跑去取青香蕉了。）。
在第二段中，Asking questions would betray my ignorance，but I remarked on the beauty of theterrain．（问这问那会暴露我没有学问，不过我就谈论起此处地势的秀美。）可以看出此句逻辑关系混乱，因此应改为Asking questions would betray my ignorance，so（所以）I remarked on the beauty of the terrain．
在第三段中，He in return inspected me carefully to be sure I grasped the significance of his statement．（他回报地仔细审视着我，确信我领会了他那番话的意义。）in return为"回报；酬劳"，应改为He in turn（反过来）inspected me carefully to be sure I grasped the significance of his statement．
在第四段中，They filled my radiator and gave me extra bananas to take along．（他们把我的水箱灌满了水，并额外给了我几个香蕉带在路上。）从第一段得知，水箱的水漏出，因此修理完后需要重新注水，应改为They refilled（重新往……注水）my radiator and gave me extra ba- nanas to take along．
常考典型错误
A.一致性方面的错误
① 主谓一致 主谓不一致错误是CET-6综合改错题内容之一，主要表现为主语名词与谓语动词间隔较长，首尾不能相接，造成视觉上的混淆。
例： The president of the company, together with the workers, are planning a conference for the purpose of solving financial problems.
句中主语的主词为单数名词“president”，介词短语“together with the workers”与主语无关，是插入成分，故谓语动词应用单数is。
② 名词单复数 有时名词可以不用复数，但是在特定的句子中由于前面有明确的量词修饰，如many, several, a number of, a variety of等等，就要变成复数形式。
例： Computer, as we all know, has many possible use in different fields. 句中名词use前的修饰语many是用来修饰复数名词的，所以use应改为uses。
③ 代词与先行词一致 代词的主要功能是指代已出现的名词、词组或一个意群.
例： A knowledge of several languages is essential to other majors' study because without them one can read books only in translation.
本句中without them指的是没有几门语言的知识。them错指a knowledge of several languages,因为其中knowledge是中心词，所以要把them改为it。
B.时态、语态、虚拟语气
① 时态错误 在一篇结构完整、语义连续的短文中，时态的使用也应该连贯一致，但是英语表示时间时，主句和从句时态可能不一致，却仍表明完整正确的意思。这就要求考生对英语敏感，准确判断句中动作的时态。
例： He can't remember what he once knows. 主句用的是一般现在时，宾语从句中有once(从前)作为明显的时间状语，因而从句中动词应用过去时knew。
② 语态错误 在CET-6综合改错题中最常见的语态错误是被动语态被误用为主动语态。因为汉语表达习惯上有时不加“被”字也能表示被动，因而考生对被动语态不敏感。另外，不及物动词不能携带宾语，因而也就没有被动语态。
例： She was very angry at not telling the truth when she listened to the account.句意：当她听这个叙述的时候，她很生气没有被告知真相。这里“她”是被告诉的对象，因而telling应改为being told。
③ 虚拟语气错误 虚拟语气的使用错误在综合改错题中主要表现为主句和从句的语气不协调。
例： We strongly suggest that Henry is told about his physical condition as soon as possible. 句中动词suggest之后的从句应用虚拟语气，故“is”应改为“be”或“should be”。类似的动词还有demand, insist, order，等等。
C.连接词、并列句、从属句 这类错误常常不易被发现，因为它不属于句子内部的语言知识，而是句子与句子之间的串联的关系。要想把这类错误纠正出来，需要考生对文章有总体的理解，头脑中有个大的框架。一般改错中的连接词错误都会使句子的逻辑关系发生改变，或造成句子的语义逻辑混乱。 例： Science is the production of new knowledge that can be applied or not, since technology is the application of knowledge to the production of some products, machinery or the like. 句中连词“since”用错了，逗号前后的两个句子从句意上是对照关系，但是since使之变成了因果关系，整个句子变得模糊不清。应把“since”改 成“while”或“whereas”。
D.形容词、副词比较级、最高级 这类错误主要考较不常见的形容词、副词的比较级形式。一般来讲，考生不难掌握。
例： Microwave ovens are generally more costlier than common ovens.此句costly是形容词，意思是“昂贵的”。它的比较级形式是more costly。costlier是错误的形式，须改成costly。
E.平行结构 平行结构错误主要指在连接词and前后语法结构不对等、不平行。
例： Computeranalyzed marketing reports can help deciding which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to be dropped. 本句中三个平行成份which products to emphasize now, which to develop和which to be dropped结构模式应该一致，均采用不定式主动语态，因而to be dropped应改为to drop。
F.非谓语动词 非谓语动词是令人头疼的改错类型，它包括不定式、分词、动名词。六级改错中主要出现的是非谓语动词与主要谓语动词之间的混淆。
例： The idea that learn a foreign language is hard work is realized by every student.分析句子结构可知：the idea是主语；is realized是谓语部分；that引导同位语从句。从句中learn a foreign language是主语，而learn是动词形式，应改为动名词“learning”。
G.固定搭配 固定搭配主要包括动词、形容词、名词同介词的搭配以及其它许多惯用法等。解答这类题的关键在于考生掌握大量的短语及固定搭配。
例： It also takes rise to a blurring of the distinction between science and technology. 句中“takes rise to”是错误搭配，应把“takes”改为gives。“give rise to”是固定表达，有“引起、导致”的意思。考生需要平时积累动介词、动副词等词组以及诸多习惯用语。
H.词性错误 词性误用句中，错误主要表现在形容词、名词、副词上。做这类改错题，首先要判断词性及词在句中的位置，然后根据它们在句中所处的位置来确定词性是否正确。一般说来，形容词修饰名词，副词修饰动词，副词修饰形容词。
例： We are not [ZZ(Z]necessary[ZZ)] capable of doing such an exacting jo 句中形容词necessary用于修饰形容词capable,属于词性误用，应改为副词形式necessarily。
I.易混淆的词 英语词汇中有很多词在拼写上、语义上很相似，如assure/ensure, rise/arise/raise, effect/affect,但是它们的用法却迥然不同。这些易混淆的词构成六级改错的一个重要错误类型。
例： His persistence was awarded when the car finally started. 句中“award”是“颁发，授予(奖赏)”之义，而文中想要表达的意思是“汽车终于启动了，那就是对他坚持不懈精神的回报。”应把 award改成reward。 l
解题思路与技巧
从上面的错误类型分析可知，做改错题一定要具有一双“慧眼”。重要的不是自己会运用一个语法点或知识点，而是能够识别出错误的用法，以审查的眼光去面对每一个改错题。这就需要掌握必要的答题步骤和技巧。
答题步骤：
① 一般来说，做题时千万不要拿起来就改。先花一、两分钟从头到尾通读全文，对文章大致内容有所了解，做到心中有数。
② 然后把重点放在有错误项的标有题号行，寻找较容易辩认的语法错误，如主谓不一致、时态、语态使用错误、非谓语动词错误等等。
③ 如果错行中不存在上述明显错误，则应查看是否有词语搭配错误，易混词错误、词性错误等等细节错误。
④ 如果错行中既不存在语法错误，也不存在词汇错误，则从整体上查看上下文意思是否连贯，连接词是否使用正确，是否有逻辑混乱的现象，如否定句误用成肯定句造成句意不通等。注意：有时没有错项的行对改错很有帮助。
⑤ 找到错误项之后，按要求形式进行改正、删去或增添，并设法找到一个正确项使句子在语法、语义和逻辑上都成立。

PASSAGE 1
The white House began to be built in 1792, but it was not completed until ten years later. Every American president lived in it except for George Washington, although he did have a majority part in designing it. The government held a competition to choose the best design for the president's house. The winner was a young man of
[注释]
1.for → ／
在句子中说明前后两个 相等成份的关系时用except，否则用except for。本句是说每位美国总统，除了乔治·华盛顿，都曾在白宫居住过，“Every American president”与“George Washington”为对等成分，故应去掉for。
2.majority → major
majority意为“大多数”、“半数以上”，一般后接复数名词，而major则为“主要的”。本句意为“华盛顿在设计白宫中起了主要作用”，故应用major。
3.of → from
要表示一个人的家乡在哪里，介词应为from。
4.long → longer
本句意思是说华盛顿把白宫设计得比原来更长，更宽了一些。与原来作比较，long当然应用比较级，而且and连接的两个形容词也应为对等成分，既然wider是比较级，long也应为比较级。
5. was ∧ first → the
the +序数词具有名词意味，在这里the first即表示the first president。
6. onto → into
“搬进新居”应为“move in”或“move into”,move on意为“继续前进”，而“move onto”则是不存在的。
7.live → living
live (a)意为“活着的”，而“living”则是“适于居住的”、“生活的”。the living area意为“适于居住的地区”。
8. so → too
原文说，战火把楼房的内部完全烧毁了，专家们说白宫太危险了，不能居住了，所以后来工人们才又重修白宫内部。“太……太……”应为“too…too…”。
9. which ∧ underground → were 或which → them
本句有两种改法，若想使这部分成为非限制性定语从句，则which引导一个句子，后面应加一个“were”；若想使这部分为独立成分，则改which为them。
10. appearing → appearance
原句意思是说，重建白宫的工作并未改变它的外貌。appearing为appear(出现)的v. + ing形式，appearance意为“外观，外貌

He was a brisk, lovely young hunter. She abandoned he residence
at
herself up like a huntress and kept the youth companion all day 2.________
long. With him she roved through bushy grounds and groves and
over hills and dales, cheering hounds and pursuing game of a
harmless sort. They had a great time together. However, she
warned him many times to chase wild beasts like lions and 3.________
wolves, but the young man just laughed at the idea.
One day, after warning him thus, she left to

the boar, turning on him ,buried its white tusk deep into his

Aphrodite was, therefore, still inconsolable. In grief and 8.________
