Advertisements――广告

提纲：

As we know, everything has two sides. Advertisements have no exceptions. Actually advertisements help us a great deal. But at the same time, the wrong use of them brings us loand trouble. So if all of us try our best to make good use of advertisements, we are sure that they will benefit us a lot and contribute much to the development of our society.

The World Is Becoming Smaller and Smaller――世界变得越来越小

提纲：

1.种种现象说明世界变得越来越小

2.什么原因导致世界变得越来越小 Sample:

It’s said that our world is like a village. That is to say that nowadays one can easily get in touch with other people all around the world. By plane, you can appear in other hemispheres within hours; through television you can be informed vividly and timely about all events inside and outside your country. It's no longer a dream to see and talk to a person on the other side of the world. Therefore, the world seems to become smaller.

What makes possible communications throughout the world? First, the invention of modern means of transportation contributes a lot to human activities in the world. Secondly, the application of satellite technology, which is thought of as the most significant breakthrough in human history, helps to convey signals of television and radio from one place to another. Finally, the change is also partly due to modem civilization brought about by modern industry, which has produced televisions, computers and many other useful machines.

Technology Transfer In Germany

When it comes to translating basic research into industrial success, few nations can match Germany. Since the 1940s, the nation's vast industrial base has been fed with a constant stream of new ideas and expertise from science. And though German prosperity (繁荣) has faltered (衰退) over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global economic decline, it still has an enviable (令人羡慕的) record for turning ideas into profit.

Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society, a network of research institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create- sought-after technologies. But today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition. Universities are taking an ever larger role in technology transfer, and technology parks are springing up all over. These efforts are being complemented by the federal programmes for pumping money into start-up companies.

Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success, but it is not without its critics. These people worry that favouring applied research will mean neglecting basic science, eventually starving industry of fresh ideas. If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur (企业家), the argument goes, then the traditional principles of university research being curiosity-driven, free and widely available will suffer. Others claim that many of the programmes to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years. While this-debate continues, new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany's research networks, which bear famous names such as Helmholtz, Max Planck and Leibniz. Yet it is the fourth network, the Fraunhofer Society, that plays the greatest role in technology transfer.

Founded in 1949,. the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe's largest organisation for applied technology, and has 59 institutes employing 12, 000 people. It continues to grow. Last year, it swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin. Today, there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia.

41 What factor can be attributed to German prosperity?

A Technology transfer.

B Good management.

C Hard work.

D Fierce competition.

42 Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university research?

A It is free.

B It is profit-driven.

C It is widely available.

D It is curiosity-driven.

篇6：b级英语考试技巧

一、复习时注意的要点

(一)、大学英语统考是全国性的统考，走“标准化”的道路

所谓“标准化”英语测试就是：

(1)内容和形式的标准化;

(2)评分的客观性和一致性;

(3)考试过程的标准化。因而复习及应试时就有一定的技巧性。

经验1：复习要抓住重点，有得有舍

比如：完型填空就是对平时水平的测试，很难在短时间通过做题有所提高。而交际用语、阅读、语法，作文可以在短期内提高分数，复习时应把时间和重点放在这里。

经验2：做选择题时，不要漏题

没把握的和不会的选项，不要空。但不要任意地选择。集中A、B、C、D中某一个选项，尤其是你选择得比较少的那个选项，把它用黑线划出，也可以采用排除法做出选择。

(二)、考前的准备

在统考前，同学应做思想上和技术上的准备。

1. 思想上的准备

应树立通过的信心。同时排除侥幸心理。在考前有计划、有重点地复习某些考试项目，能在短期内在成绩上有较快的提高，是完全有可能的。保证达到分数线是考前准备的最低目标。为了达到这个目标，就要把主要时间花在分项训练上。

2. 技术上的准备

(1) 备一本简易通俗的语法书。

(2) 备一本相当英语三级水平的词汇手册。

(3) 准备一些水平合适的阅读材料。

(4) 备一本中级的有例句的英汉字典。考试不能靠电子词典。

(5) 备一本简单的英语日常口语对话教材。

(6) 考前按正式考试的程序，做几套模拟题

篇8：英语b级历年真题参考

The United States boasts substantial energy resources. Federal lands provide a good deal of U.S. energy production; the U.S. Department of the Interior manages federal energy leasing, both on land and on the offshore Outer Continental Shelf. Production from these sources amounts to nearly 30 percent of total annual U.S. energy production.

In , 32 percent of U.S. oil, 35 percent of natural gas, and 37 percent of coal were produced from federal lands, representing 20,000 producing oil and gas leases and 135 producing coal leases. Federal lands are also estimated to contain approximately 68 percent of all undiscovered U.S. oil reserves and 74 percent of undiscovered natural gas.

Revenues from federal oil, gas, and coal leasing provide significant returns to U.S. taxpayers as well as State governments. In , for example, $553 million in oil and gas revenues were paid to the U.S. Treasury, and non-Indian coal leases accounted for over $304 million in revenues, of which 50 percent were paid to State governments. Public lands also play a critical role in energy delivery. Each year, federal land managers authorize rights of way for transmission lines, rail systems, pipelines, and other facilities related to energy production and use.

Alternative energy production from federal lands lags behind conventional energy production, though the amount is still significant. For example, federal geothermal resources produce about 7.5 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, 47 percent of all electricity generated from U.S. geothermal energy. There are 2,960 wind turbines on public lands in California alone, producing electricity for about 300,000 people. Federal hydropower facilities produce about 17 percent of all hydropower produced in the United States.

Because of the growing U.S. thirst for energy and increasing public unease with dependence on foreign oil sources, pressure on the public lands to meet U.S. energy demands is intensifying. Public lands are available for energy development only after they have been evaluated through the land use planning process. If development of energy resources conflicts with management or use of other resources, development restrictions or impact mitigation measures may be imposed, or mineral production may be banned altogether.

31．What is the main idea of this passage?

A．Public lands are one of the main sources of revenues.

B．Public lands should be developed to ease energy shortage.

C．Public lands play an important role in energy production.

D．Public lands store huge energy resources for further development..

32．Which of the following statements is true of public lands in the U.S.?

A．Half of U.S. energy is produced there.

B．Most of coal was produced from there in 2000.

C．Most energy resources are reserved there.

D．The majority of undiscovered natural gas is stored there.

33．Geothermal resources, wind turbines, and hydropower facilities in Paragraph 4 are cited as examples to illustrate that

A．alternative energy production is no less than conventional energy production.

B．they are the most typical conventional energy resources from public lands.

C．geothermal resources are more important than the other two.

D．the amount of alternative energy production from public lands is huge.

34．There is a mounting pressure on public lands to satisfy US energy demands because

A．many Americans are unhappy with energy development in foreign countries.

B．the US is demanding more and more energy.

C．quite a few public lands are banned for energy development.

D．many Americans think public lands are being abused.

35．Public lands can be used for energy development when

A．they go through the land use planning process.

B．energy development restrictions are effective.

C．federal land managers grant permissions.

D．there is enough federal budget.

篇9：英语b级历年真题参考

Using the power of the sun is nothing new. People have had solar-powered calculators and buildings with solar panels for decades. But plants are the real experts: They’ve been using sunlight as an energy source for billions of years.

Cells in the green leaves of plants work like tiny factories to convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into sugars and starches, stored energy that the plants can use. This conversion process is called photosynthesis. Unfortunately, unless you’re a plant, it’s difficult and expensive to convert sunlight into storable energy. That’s why scientists are taking a closer look at exactly how plants do it.

Some scientists are trying to get plants, or biological cells that act like plants, to work as miniature photosynthetic power stations. For example, Maria Ghirardi of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo., is working with green algae. She’s trying to trick them into producing hydrogen instead of sugars when they perform photosynthesis. Once the researchers can get the algae working efficiently, the hydrogen that they produce could be used to power fuel cells in cars or to generate electricity.

The algae are grown in narrow-necked glass bottles to produce hydrogen in the lab. During photosynthesis, plants normally make sugars or starches. “But under certain conditions, a lot of algae are able to use the sunlight energy not to store starch, but to make hydrogen.” Ghirardi says. For example, algae will produce hydrogen in an airfree environment. It’s the oxygen in the air that prevents algae from making hydrogen most of the time.

Working in an airfree environment, however, is difficult. It’s not a practical way to produce cheap energy. But Ghirardi and her colleagues have discovered that by removing a chemical called sulfate from the environment that the algae grow in, they will make hydrogen instead of sugars, even when air is present.

Unfortunately, removing the sulfate also makes the algae’s cells work very slowly, and not much hydrogen is produced. Still, the researchers see this as a first step in their goal to produce hydrogen efficiently from algae. With more work, they may be able to speed the cells’ activity and produce larger quantities of hydrogen.

The researchers hope that algae will one day be an easy-to-use fuel source. The organisms are cheap to get and to feed, Ghirardi says, and they can grow almost anywhere: “You can grow them in a reactor, in a pond. You can grow them in the ocean. There’s a lot of flexibility in how you can use these organisms.”

36．How do plants relate to solar energy?

A．They are the real experts in producing it.

B．They have been a source of it.

C．They have been used to produce it.

D．They have been using it for billions of years.

37．Scientists study how photosynthesis works because they want to

A．improve the efficiency of it.

B．turn plant sugars to a new form of energy.

C．make green plants a new source of energy.

D．get more sugars and starches from plants.

38．Algae are able to use solar energy to produce hydrogen when

A．they are grown in narrow-necked bottles.

B．there is enough oxygen in the air.

C．enough starch is stored.

D．there is no oxygen in the air.

39．Researchers find it difficult to make algae produce hydrogen efficiently because

A．removing the sulfate slows down the hydrogen production.

B．It is hard to create an airfree environment.

C．It is expensive to remove the sulfate from the environment.

D．the algae’s cells work slowly if there is no oxygen in the air.

40．What does Ghirardi say about algae?

A．They grow faster in a reactor.

B．They will be planted everywhere.

C．They are cheap to eat.

D．They can be a good energy source.

篇10：英语b级历年真题参考

On a recent field trip to the Kalahari Desert, a team of researchers learnt a lot more about honey badgers（獾）. The team employed a local wildlife expert, Kitso Khama, to help them locate and follow the badgers across the desert. Their main aim was to study the badgers’ movements and behaviour as discreetly（谨慎地）as possible, without frightening them away or causing them to change their natural behaviour. They also planned to trap a few and study them close up before releasing them. In view of the animal’s reputation, this was something that even Khama was reluctant to do.

“The problem with honey badgers is they are naturally curious animals, especially when they see something new,” he says. “that, combined with their unpredictable nature, can be a dangerous mixture. If they sense you have food, for example, they won’t be shy about coming right up to you for something to eat. They’re actually quite sociable creatures around humans, but as soon as they feel they might be in danger, they can become extremely vicious（凶恶的）. Fortunately this is rare, but it does happen.”

The research confirmed many things that were already known. As expected, honey badgers ate any creatures they could catch and kill. Even poisonous snakes, feared and avoided by most other animals, were not safe from them. The researchers were surprised, however, by the animal’s fondness for local melons, probably because of their high water content. Previously researchers thought that the animal got all of its liquid requirements from its prey（猎物）. The team also learnt that, contrary to previous research findings, the badgers occasionally formed loose family groups. They were also able to confirm certain results from previous research, including the fat that female badgers never socialized with each other.

Following some of the male badgers was a challenge, since they can cover large distances in a short space of time. Some hunting territories cover more than 500 square kilometers. Although they seem happy to share these territories with other males, there are occasional fights over an important food source, and male badgers can be as aggressive towards each other as they are towards other species.

As the badgers became accustomed to the presence of people, it gave the team the chance to get up close to them without being the subject of the animal’s curiosity — or their sudden aggression. The badgers’ eating patterns, which had been disrupted, returned to normal. It also allowed the team to observe more closely some of the other creatures that form working associations with the honey badger, as these seems to adopt the badgers’ relaxed attitude when near humans.

41．Why did the wildlife experts visit the Kalahari Desert?

A．To observe how honey badgers behave.

B．To find where honey badgers live.

C．To catch some honey badgers for food.

D．To find out why honey badgers have a bad reputation.

42．What does Kitso Khama say about honey badgers?

A．They show interest in things they are not familiar with.

B．They are always looking for food.

C．They do not enjoy human company.

D．It is common for them to attack people.

43．What did the team find out about honey badgers?

A．There were some creatures they did not eat.

B．They may get some of the water they needed from fruit.

C．They were afraid of poisonous creatures.

D．Female badgers did not mix with male badgers.

44．Which of the following is a typical feature of male badgers?

A．They don’t run very quickly.

B．They defend their territory from other badgers.

C．They are more aggressive than females

D．They hunt over a very large area.

45．What happened when honey badgers got used to humans around them?

A．They became less aggressive towards other creatures.

B．They lost interest in people.

C．They started eating more.

D．Other animals started working with them.

Sugar cane was once a wild grass that grew in New Guinea and was used by local people for roofing their houses and fencing their gardens. Gradually a different variety evolved which contained sucrose and was chewed on for its sweet taste. Over time, sugar cane became a highly valuable commercial plant, grown throughout the world. __________ (46)

Sugar became a vital ingredient in all kinds of things, from confectionery to medicine, and, as the demand for sugar grew, the industry became larger and more profitable. __________ (47) Many crops withered and died, despite growers’ attempts to save them, and there were fears that the health of the plant would continue to deteriorate.

In the 1960s, scientists working in Barbados looked for ways to make the commercial species stronger and more able to resist disease. They experimented with breeding programmes, mixing genes from the wild species of sugar cane, which tends to be tougher, with genes from the more delicate, commercial type. __________ (48) This sugar cane is not yet ready to be sold commercially, but when this happens, it is expected to be incredibly profitable for the industry.

__________ (49) Brazil, which produces one quarter of the world’s sugar, has coordinated an international project under Professor Paulo Arrudo of the Universidade Estaudual de Campinas in Sao Paulo. Teams of experts have worked with him to discover more about which parts of the genetic structure of the plant are important for the production of sugar and its overall health.

Despite all the research, however, we still do not fully understand how the genes function in sugar cane. __________ (50) This gene is particularly exciting because it makes the plant resistant to rust, a disease which probably originated in India, but is now capable of infecting sugar cane across the world. Scientists believe they will eventually be able to grow a plant which cannot be destroyed by rust.

A．Unfortunately, however, the plant started to become weaker and more prone to disease.

B．Sugar cane was now much vigorous and the supply of sugar is therefore more guaranteed.

C．One major gene has been identified by Dr Angelique D’Hont and her team in Montpelier, France.

D．The majority of the world’s sugar now comes from this particular commercial species.

E．Since the 1960s, scientists have been analysing the mysteries of the sugar cane’s genetic code.

F．Eventually, a commercial plant was developed which was 5 percent sweeter than before, but also much stronger and less likely to die from disease.

篇11：英语b级考试有什么技巧

交际用语技巧

交际用语部分的试题以对话的形式出现，测试考生掌握日常生活常见情景中的基本交际用语的能力。

交际用语试题在平时的开放英语Ⅱ(1)、(2)学习过程中很少见到。所以在准备统考时，有必要重点复习一下。

复习交际用语需要做以下准备工作：

1.备一本简单的中级口语书。

2.复习英语中功能性的用语，如：问候语、感谢语、道歉、接受、拒绝等。

3.熟悉西方社会生活中常见的情景对话，如：打电话、购物、问路、借东西、银行等等。

4.熟悉西方社会人们交际的基本礼节。

例题一：

― What can I do for you?

― ____________________.

A. I want a kilo of apples B. You can go your own way

C. Thanks D. Excuse me. I'm busy

这题的答案是 A. I want a kilo of apples

为什么是A呢?对话的第一句是 What can I do for you ? 这是一句典型的“服务行业”用语，在不同的情景中可以理解为不同的意思：

在商店里就是：“你买什么?”

在其他公共场合就是：“我能帮您做什么?”

这里的四个选项中B C D选项即不是希望对方为自己作什么，也不是要买什么。只有A的回答是“要买一公斤苹果。”只有A与所给的问题组成了一段意思合理，又符合逻辑的对话。所以A是正确答案

例题二：

― Do you mind telling me where you're from?

― _____________________.

A. Certainly. I'm from London. B. Sure. I was born in London.

C. Not really, you can do it. D. Certainly not. I'm form London.

Do you mind ? 句型，回答时：

如果是肯定的如，yes, certainly 那就是我在意，请你不要做什么

如果自己不在意，回答应该是： No， not at all.

这道题的干扰因素是：A B D 都回答了 I'm from London. 或 I was born in London. 它们都回答了 Where are you from? 这个提问。这说明这三个回答前面的用语是正确与否的关键。A B 一个用了 Certainly 一个用了 Sure 。肯定的回答，它违反了英语回答 Do you mind? 这类问题的习惯。只有 Certainly not. I'm from London. 是正确答案

例题三：

― Do you think I could borrow your dictionary?

― _____________________.

A. Yes, you may borrow. B. Yes, go on.

C. Yes, help yourself. D. It doesn't matter.

对方问“我能借你的字典吗?”

四个回答都好象是肯定的回答，看不出又什么不对。但是如果理解了每一个回答，就能分辨出哪一个是最合适的回答。

A. you may borrow. 你可以借。

B. go on 请继续。继续什么呢?不清楚。D.It doesn't matter. 没关系。这个回答好象对方作错了什么事。

C. Yes, help yourself. 自己动手(等于说：拿吧)所以C是正确答案。

从上面三个例子，我们可以总结以下规律：

交际用语的答案不是明显的对错问题，它是是否符合口语习惯的问题。答题时，不是寻找错误，而是判断语言的使用是否规范。

要熟悉各种情景的对话用语，这样可以在短时间内，判断对话发生的地点和场景。

要熟悉西方人们日常的交际习惯，礼貌规则。这里所说的人们交往的交际习惯应该是西方文化中的习惯，而不是我们东方文化中，特别是我们自己生活中习惯了的交往方式。

这里特别提醒大家注意：我们是在说英语，不是用英语的句型套用汉语的习惯。比如在中国，当人们夸奖我们英语讲得不错的时候，我们会很谦虚地回答：“讲得不好，还得好好学习。”但是，这个回答不同于西方文化中的习惯。在英语里，我们就会回答：“Thank you.”表示感谢。在交际用语中，考生应该选择符合西方文化的语言，特别注意 Thank you和Sorry 的使用。

下面是交际用语的一些参考的范围：

1.功能性的日常用语

a. 问候与应答 b. 介绍 c. 告别

d. 感谢与应答 e. 请求帮助与应答 f. 提供帮助与应答

g. 祝愿与应答 h. 道歉与应答 i. 邀请与应答

j. 时间与日期 k. 表示个人意见 l. 表示个人心情和态度

2.日常情景对话

a. 约会 b. 打电话 c. 问路

d. 问讯事物 e. 天气 f. 交通

g. 购物 h. 就餐 i. 旅游

j. 健康 k. 学校生活 l. 家庭生活

篇12：英语b级考试有什么技巧

1、外语阅读策略要求学生不断进行假设、预言与推断。

即阅读一篇文章时，读了第一句就会对下面要讲的事有一种期待，根据逻辑关系和现有的知识结构推断下面会讲什么。比如：我们读到一句话：Yesterday he didn't come to school,下面是什么呢?下面肯定讲的是“because”讲他为什么没来学校。可是，当所读的篇章如果是生疏的，是我们没有涉猎的领域的时候。我们就很难预测了。这说明什么问题吗?也就是说：阅读材料是我们熟悉的，哪怕较长我们也不觉得难。如果阅读材料生疏，读起来就如同爬山。那怕没什么生词，也费解。所以，要提高阅读能力，就要“广泛阅读与‘阅读理解部分’内容相近的读物。”要开阔阅读题材、增加阅读量。在中级英语学习阶段，主要集中在人文类的篇章：社会生活、名人轶事、历史发明、自然现象、人际关系、等等。

2、词汇是阅读的基础。

多年来的实践表明，在听、说、读、写四种语言技能中，词汇与阅读的相关度最大。影响考生阅读速度的主要原因是词汇量不够。为了提高阅读理解的速度，考生应在平时注意扩大词汇量，把阅读篇章作为学习英语的重要内容。在我国，有些英语学习者把学习重点放在语法学习上，以为把语法学好了英语就好了。这是一种误解。语法是语言的结构关系，对于理解英语的句子和篇章的上下文关系都是非常重要的。但是，仅仅学好语法而忽略了语言内容的学习，就会影响词汇量的扩大。

另外，有些学生做阅读理解部分的题目。读完了，题也做了。对过答案后就开始读另一篇。这种满足于答案正确的做法使学生忽略了读书这个根本的目的。同学们都有这样的体会。题也作了，答案也对过了。但是阅读材料中讲的到底是什么，读过之后没有任何印象。如果把阅读材料要当作精读来学习，文章读过了，词汇量扩大了，语感增强了。不仅阅读水平提高、词汇扩大、对完型填空的做题水平也会提高。

3、影响考生理解意思的主要原因是只注意了单句的理解而忽略了整篇的理解，或只注意了文字表面上的意思而忽略了深层含义及隐含意思的理解。

对篇章的理解建立在对句子之间和段落之间逻辑关系正确的判断。首先，应掌握文章所表达的主题思想和作者的态度。读者必须理解文章主张什么，不主张什么，作者支持什么，不支持什么，作者表面上赞同什么，而实际上赞同的却又是什么。读者只理解单句的意思，不注意上下文的逻辑关系，文章真正的含义就无法搞懂。考试时，考试的题目往往让考生选择最佳选项添补所提的问题。选择答案时考生特别要注意因果关系和顺序关系。文章中没有现成的答案，而是需要通过对文章的理解进行归纳、总结和推理才能得出。

阅读理解部分的考试方法一般是两种：

一种是先读全文，再看问题，答题。

一种是先读问题，事先形成一种阅读内容的梗概，然后再阅读材料中找答案，找到即可。

总之，阅读理解部分能够“投机取巧”答对题的机率并不高。应当重视平时积累，多看多读，扎扎实实地把阅读水平提上去。

英国伟大的哲学家培根在他著名的散文“Of Studies”论读书一文中讲“读书足以怡情，足以，足以长才……读书使人充实……读史使人明智，读诗使人灵秀” 我们应该把阅读当作提高英语水平的基石来看待。

篇13：英语b级应该怎么学才学好

学习英语b级的方法

1.听力

1.在试音时浏览选项，锁定关键词汇(比如时间、地点、人物、数字信息)

2.西方人说活比较直接，所以要注意听力的开头和结尾，其中可能有很多关键信息。

3.听力一定要即听即涂，没听清楚也要蒙一个，因为听完就要交卷，没有多余时间让你回想。

2.阅读

1.关于总结段落大意的那道阅读题，一般每个选项都有和答案段落的相对应的词组，打击注意一下就可以找到答案啦。

2.做阅读理解时，先看选项在看文章，不经意就会发现答案哦。

3.一般阅读理解选项中答案含有太绝对的肯定词或否定词可以排除。

3.翻译

1.你可以在不改变原文意思的方式下适当增减词汇，但是关键词不可以省略，否则扣分。

2.遇到不会翻译的词语可以使用简单的词汇替换，千万不要空白，影响评分。

3.一个长句可以分成几个短句来翻译，名词、动词、形容词可以转换使用。

4.写作

1.字迹清晰，段落明朗。尽量字写的漂亮一些，每段首缩的量要一致，保持卷面整洁，写错单词只要画一个斜杠，不要涂成一个黑球。

2.内容完整，紧扣提纲。最好分三段，采用总分总的形式。第一段阐述自己的看法，第二段分点讨论，第三段总结。

3.语言简练，论据得当。不要一直重复相同的内容，不要为了凑字数而把自己背的句子全部套上去。

学好英语b级的十个阶段

1、Enthusiasm热情

It always starts like this… Whether you did it for fun or necessity, you probably struck out on this path with good intentions, high motivation and a spectacular fireworks show of new insights. A good start is half the battle!

开始的时候总是这样的，不管你是出于兴趣还是出于需要，学习新语言的时候你都是满心好奇，充满兴致。不管怎么说，好的开始就已经成功了一半了呀!

2、 Obsession痴迷

Then comes the brief period in which it seems like your entire existence revolves around the effort to penetrate this new language and culture. I don’t know if that’s ever happened to you, but it’s always that way for me. When I learned French, everything I did had to shimmer with Parisian elegance.

有那么一段时间，你会完全沉溺于新的语言及其所属的文化中。我不知道你是否有这种感觉，但是我经历过。当我开始学习法语后不久，我的生活中到处都充斥着法式优雅，我的衣柜里都是条纹衬衫，我的书架上都是法国作家和导演的作品。你觉得这有些夸张?可能吧，但我要学的不只是法语，还有一切与法语有关的事!

3、Discomfort苦恼

After the manic phase is over, the time comes for the actual language learning to begin. And it’s exactly at this point that the first setbacks emerge. You’ll first be overcome with a feeling of sheer panic… because nothing you learn seems to stay in your memory. The words seem so different than anything familiar to you and you can’t make any connection between them. Not to mention the many verb forms. It’s at this stage that you’ll feel the temptation to simply disappear and leave it all behind.

在狂热阶段过去之后，才是语言学习的真正开始。在这时，第一道障碍出现了，你开始感到不安，因为你发现你没有办法记住你所学的新知识，你记不住那些单词，更别提那些动词形式了。在这个阶段，你会发现学习的动力开始消失了。

4、Shyness不敢开口

We all know that the key to fast progress when learning a language is practice – preferably with a native speaker. Sounds easy. But putting this knowledge into practice is something totally different. In truth we’re all incurably shy, and it’s hard for us to get past ourselves and show our vulnerable sides. The secret is to always ask yourself, “What could happen if I make a mistake?” The answer: nothing terrible!

我们都知道“熟能生巧”是语言学习的必经之途，尤其是和以该种语言为母语的人交流。但是这并不容易，因为这意味着要想别人展示自己的不足之处。每当这时候，你可以问问自己：“如果我说错了会发生什么?”然后回答：“总不会发生坏事。”

5、Lack of Understanding缺乏理解

It usually goes something like this: you’ve finally found the courage to jump in the deep end. You’ve rehearsed everything you want to say over and over in your head and even practiced in front of the mirror so you look as cool as possible when you say it. You finally get the opportunity to use your knowledge on the lady at the register, on a passerby or on the waiter at the restaurant. You already imagine emerging from your conversation bursting with pride. But what happens instead? After listening to your well-thought-out sentence with a big smile, your conversation partner answers and… you don’t understand a thing!

好了，你终于鼓气勇气要开口了。你已经在脑海中预演了无数遍你要说的话，也对着镜子练习了好几遍，你觉得已经万无一失了。你找到机会和外国人交流，当你充满自信、面带微笑的说出你想说的话，你却发现······你听不懂对方的回答!

6、Frustration沮丧

Now comes a truly critical phase. “How can it be?” you ask yourself sadly. “I’ve been learning this language for months and don’t understand a thing when someone speaks to me. I have absolutely no talent for languages. That’s it! I’m done!”

之后，你就捶胸顿足的问自己“为什么会这样”。我都学好几个月了，为什么别人跟我说话是，我还是听不懂。我肯定没有语言天赋，算了。

7、Revelation新的发现

And then something magical happens. It happens unexpectedly when you’ve given up all hope: suddenly you understand! Everything seems to be in order and you no longer have thoughts of trying to escape when asking a random stranger something on the street. Off you go! It’s all downhill from here!

然而，当你已经绝望到要放弃时，神奇的事情发生了。突然你能听懂了!一切都顺理成章，你不再逃避和外国人交流，在大街上随便找个人说话也没问题。一切变得好起来了。

8、Excitement兴奋

At this point you’re suddenly sociable and your shyness is all but gone. You talk and talk and aren’t afraid of anything. Isn’t it great? Just don’t let go of the reins now, because there always lurks the danger of…

这时你就抛开害羞，乐于交际了。你滔滔不绝，无所畏惧，这看起来挺好的，但是千万别就此变成一匹脱缰的野马，因为危机无处不在。

9、Embarrassment尴尬

You feel so safe that no one and nothing can stop you. And it’s exactly at this point that the most embarrassing – but also funniest – things happen. A falsely-used word, one verb in the place of another, a saying that actually doesn’t exist in that language. But have no fear: you learn from your mistakes, and this is how you progress along the way.

你觉得万无一失，无所阻挡，往往就在这时会发生一些尴尬又有趣的事情——用词不当、乱用熟语······但是不要因此胆怯，吃一堑长一智，你将由此获得进步。

10、Triumph!胜利

It’s done: the new language doesn’t hold any more secrets from you. You understand everything and can speak without difficulty. You can even laugh at the mistakes that just a short time ago were so frustrating. Great job! As we said earlier, the most important thing is to keep at it!

这门新语言对你来说已经不算什么了!你能听懂别人说的话，流利地表达自己的想法，你甚至能对不久前让你沮丧不已的错误一笑置之。太棒了!就像我们之前说的那样，最重要的是坚持不懈。

学习英语b级的注意事项

1、避免语言表达不通顺

在作答时尽量少用不确定的单词和句子，其实书面表达不是句子写得长就得高分，反而是句子简化、正确、精确更受评卷者青睐，所以少写复合句或并列句而减少差错，但过分简化会降低文章的阅读性。

2、引入谚语或耳熟能详的名言

如条条道路通罗马：All roads lead to Rome.上梁不正下梁歪：Fish begins to stink at the head.下着倾盆大雨：It rains cats and dogs.等等。平时在学习英语过程，分出一点时间去谚语和名言，积少成多，积攒丰富的词汇和句子。

3、掌握更多的固定短语或固定句型

考试的写作题型，一般都有使用频率很高的短语或句型，如：平时多注意规律、普遍性，就会一些事并不难，甚至轻而易举地做到。

4、灵活应变，运用自如

有时书面表达会出现一些难以理解或表达的要点，这时会面临想不起该用什么短语或句型表达的困境。所以，在平时练习英文写作，切忌死记硬背，懂得变通，如在学习某个精彩句型或短语，自己也应积极主动贯通练习新的句型或短语。

三、阅读题：

Thus far, there is little evidence to suggest that technology will reduce inequality; indeed it may only intensify inequality. Technology is costly and it is generally impossible to introduce advances to everyone at the same time. So who gets this access first? As we travel further and further along the electronic frontier through advances such as telecommuting (在家办公) and the Intemet, the poor may be isolated from mainstream society in an “information ghetto (贫民窟) ”.

Drawing on a survey, the Census Bureau (国家调查局) estimated that only 6.8 percent of households earning less than $ 10,000 had home computers, compared to 61.7 percent of those with incomes of $ 75,000 or more. This issue goes beyond individual interest or lack of interest in computers.

The technological advances of the present and future may not be equally beneficial to men and women. Many studies have shown that computer games, which serve as an important means of early socialization to computers, typically involve sports or skills associated with the traditional male role. As a result computers camps have become mainly male settings.

Like money, food, and other resources, technology is unevenly distributed within societies and throughout the world. The technology gap is widening rather than narrowing. Although nations are exchanging technical data more freely than before, critical technology transfer is often kept back. The technology exported to developing countries may be poorly suited to the conditions of their economies and workplaces.

11、According to the writer, “information ghetto” is caused by ______.

A.the strict control of information

B.the rapid technological advances

C.the complete isolation of the poor

D.the existence of mainstream society

12、The data the Census Bureau collected indicates that ______.

A.technology has widened the gap between the rich and the poor

B.individual interest in computers might be a significant reason

C.the survey has covered more than enough investigation samples

D.the estimation by the Census Bureau is subject to correction

13、According to the writer, one supposed function of computer games is ______.

A.to divide social roles between boys and girls

B.to build up settings for sports or other male skills

C.to make the public get familiar with the computer

D.to intensify the inequality between men and women

14、It seems that critical technology is often ______.

A.unavailable to the importing countries

B.unavailable to the exporting countries

C.not suitable to the developing countries

D.keeping back the exporting countries economy

15、The writer s attitude towards the development of technology is ______.

A.negative

B.indifferent

C.exciting and praising

D.concerned and critical

篇17：英语b级语法重点总结语法

A. 知识要点

名词可分为可数名词和不可数名词。可数名词有单、复数之分。

1.不可数名词只用单数形式。如果要表示数量多少，需在其前面加量词来表达。如：a piece of news(一条新闻);two pieces of advice(两条建议)

2.名词所有格的构成是名词加“’s”，如：Mary’s room;如原词已有复数词尾-s，则只加“’”，如：the students’ hall, 通常用于有生命的存在物的名词;名词所有格也可以由介词of加名词构成，通常用于无生命的存在物的名词, 如：the window of the classroom.

B.例题讲解

What a beautiful house! Especially there are many ______.

A. furniture B. furnitures C. pieces of furniture D. pieces of furnitures

解析：此题考查名词的单复数。Furniture 为不可数名词，后面不能加s。很多家具用many pieces of furniture，因此答案为C。

篇20：历年英语B级真题阅读理解

英语B级真题阅读理解

下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个选项。

第一篇 Why Buy Shade-Grown Coffee?

When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, they're usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it food for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.

Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy(树冠)of taller indigenous(土生土长的)trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren’t any trees. With increased production come increased profits.

Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local-wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators(捕食者)in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.

Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.

Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as “shade grown” and “bird friendly. Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But we're paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think it's worth it.

31.What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Farmers are changing the way they grow coffee.

B. Coffee is becoming more expensive to produce.

C. Shade-grow coffee is more expensive than sun-grow coffee.

D. People should buy shade-grown coffee.

32.The function of the word ”Traditionally“ in Paragraph 2 is to show_____.

A. the positive effects of coffee.

B. a change of coffee growth.

C. something that is the most important.

D. how coffee production used to be.

33.What does increased production of full-sun coffee bring about?

A. More insects.

B. Better quality coffee.

C. Larger farms.

D. Higher profits.

34.How do farmers find more land for growing full-sun coffee?

A. They buy more land from other farmers.

B. They cut down trees.

C. They move to another country.

D. They turn grassland into farmland.

35.The full-sun method may affect the following EXCEPT_____ full sun

A. insects.

B. air.

C. birds

D. humans

第二篇 Washoe Learned American Sign Language

An animal that influenced scientific thought has died. A chimpanzee named Washoe and born in Africa died of natural causes late last month at the age of 42 at a research center in the American state of Washington. Washoe had become known in the scientific community and around the world for her ability to use American Sign Language. She was said to be the first non-human to learn a human language. Her skills also led to debate about primates and their ability to understand language.

Research scientists Allen and Beatrix Gardner began teaching Washoe sign language in 1966.In 1969, the Gardners described Washoe's progress in a scientific report. The people who experimented with Washoe said she grew to understand about 250 words. For example, Washoe made signs to communicate when it was time to eat. She could request foods like apples and bananas. She also asked questions like,” Who is coming to play?“ Once the news about Washoe spread, many language scientists began studies of their own into this new and exciting area of research. The whole direction of primate research changed.

However, critics argued Washoe only learned to repeat sign language movements from watching her teachers. They said she had never developed true language skills. Even now, there are some researchers who suggest that primates learn sign language only by memory, and perform the signs only for prizes. Yet Washoe's keepers disagree. Roger Fouts is a former student of the Gardeners. He took Washoe to a research center in Ellensburg, Washington. There, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees, which are still alive.

Scientists like private researcher Jane Goodall believe Washoer provided new information about the mental workings of chimpanzees. Today, there are not as many scientists studying language skills with chimps. Part of the reason is that this kind of research takes a very long time.

Debate continues about chimps understanding of human communication. Yet, one thing is sure-Washoe changed popular ideas about the possibilities of animal intelligence

36. The Gardeners’ experiment with Washoe_____.

A. began in 1969

B. won a big prize

C. lasted three years

D. influenced primate research

37. The second paragraph mainly discusses_____.

A. a report about Washoe’s progress in learning sign language

B. the whole direction of primate research

C. new primate researches conducted by many language scientific

D. an experiment with Washoe at a research center in Africa.

38. The Gardeners’ experiment with Washoe was criticized because______.

A. just ask some simple question

B. only copy teachers’ sign language

C. only memorize about 250words

D. just repeat short sentences.

39. According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A. Roger Fouts taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees.

B. Washoe was the first chimp to use American Sign Language

C. A chimpanzee died of natural causes in Africa at a research center

D. Nowadays there are still lots of scientists experimenting with chimpanzees

40. We can draw a conclusion from the last paragraph that_____.

A. Whether chimps can learn a human language remains unanswered

B. primate have the ability to speak a language

C. animals cannot learn a human sign

D. Washoe is as intelligent as humans

第三篇 Moderate Earthquake Strikes England

A moderate earthquake struck parts of southeast England on 28 April ,toppling chimneys from houses and rousing residents from their beds. Several thousand people were left without power in Kent County. One woman suffered minor head and neck injuries.

”It felt as if the whole house was being slid across like a fun-fair ride,“ said the woman.

The British Geological Survey said the 4.3-magnitude quake struck at 8:19 a.m. and was centered under the English Channel, about 8.5 miles south of Dover and near the entrance to the Channel Tunnel.

Witnesses said cracks appeared in walls and chimneys collapsed across the county. Residents said the tremor had lasted for about 10 to 15 seconds.

”I was lying in bed and it felt as if someone had just got up from bed next to me.“ said Hendrick van Eck,27,of Canterbury about 60 miles southeast of London.”I then heard the sound of cracking, and it was getting heavier and heavier. It felt as if someone was at the end of my bed hopping up and down."

There are thousands of moderate quakes on this scale around the world each year, but they are rare in Britain. The April 28 quake was the strongest in Britain since when a 4.8-magnitude quake struck the central England city of Birmingham.

The country's strongest earthquake took place in the North Sea in 1931,measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale. British Geological Survey scientist Roger Musson said the quake took place on 28 April in an area that had seen several of the biggest earthquakes ever to strike Britain, including one in 1580 that caused damage in London and was felt in France.Musson predicted that it was only a matter of time before another earthquake struck this part of England. However, people should not be scared too much by this prediction, Musson said, as the modern earthquake warning system of Britain should be able to detect a forthcoming quake and announce it several hours before it takes place. This would allow time for people to evacuate and reduce damage to the minimum.

41. The biggest earthquake took place in Britain_____.

A in 1931

B in 1580

C in 2002

D in 2007

42. The word “collapsed” in paragraph 4 most probably means_____.

A. Fell apart

B. Flew off

C. Shook up

D. Blew out

43. The phrase “this scale” in paragraph 6 refers to_____.

A. 4.8-magnitude quake
