一周:口语交际

 

新大纲对口语交际要求能用英语进行日常会话。对于生活、学习和工作中的常见英语会话,能理解会话的情景、说话人的意图和对话的含义。能恰当进行交际。能正确理解英语口语中常见的习惯用法。每次考试设以下一种或两种题型:A节为完成对话,每一题中,考生将在试卷上读到一段不完整的对话和用以完成这段对话的4个备选答案。要求考生针对对话的内容从4个备选答案中先出一个最符合对话情景和口语交际习惯用法的答案,使整个对话能顺利完成。   

B节为对话理解,在每一题中,考生将在试卷上读到一段对话和对话之后的问题,以及针对问题的4个备选答案。要求考生能理解对话的情景、说话人的意图和对话的含意,从所给的4个备选答案中选出一个最佳答案。

    10道题分值15分,15分钟完成,这意味着每小题1.5分,1分钟完成。解题过程中了解题意是关键。其中某些副词、词组、俚语都是理解的难点,平时注意积累英语文化背景知识。比如说:

Speaker A: We-came so close really. We almost won that game

Speaker B: _______

A. There, there.            B .There's no use crying over spilt milk.

C. You guys were superb.    D: I couldn't care less.

这是一道典型的口语交际题,考察特定表达的会话含义。要选出合适的选项必须彻底理解第一个说话人所说的话并对四个选项的题意有一个完全的了解。第一个说话人说的close的意思可以理解为接近,后面的almost是几乎要做到的意思,整句话的意思可以理解为:我们是如此地接近,我们几乎就要赢得那场比赛了。实际上赢了没有呢?从题意可以推断出没有,因此选B项,cry over spilt milk这个习语的字面意义是为打翻的牛奶哭泣,引申义是伤心于不可挽回的失误,整句话可理解为再伤心也于事无补,因为根据第一个说话人的意思,反正我们已经输了,这样的理解恰好符合题意。做这类题应领会语境,并熟悉相关习语的表达。

再如:

Woman: What do you like to do on your summer vacation?

Man: I like nothing better than fishing on a hot summer day.

Question: What does the man mean?

A. He doesn't like fishing on a hot summer day.

B. Although he likes fishing ,he doesn't want to do it on a hot summer day.

C. Fishing is his favorite pastime on a hot summer day.

D. He likes nothing, including fishing on a hot. summer day.

这道题答案是C,做这道题的关键是要理解特殊句子结构nothing better than的意思,没有比……更好的了,意思是“最喜欢的就是……”解题过程中要仔细区分四个选项在意义上的细微区别,A项的意思是他不喜欢在炎热的夏天钓鱼;B项的意思是虽然他喜欢钓鱼但是不喜欢在炎热的夏天钓;C项的意思是他最喜欢的消遣就是在炎热的夏天钓鱼;D项的意思是他什么都不喜欢,包括在炎热的夏天钓鱼,经过综合比较,可以看出C项最符合题意。做这类题应该积累特殊的句子结构,注意分析选项之间的细微差别。

        二、应试指导:

          口语交际部分的命题方式大致可以分成三类:

          (1)语境题

           这类题包括人们日常生活中可能遇到的各种交际活动,如:打招呼、几道谢、祝贺、道歉、购物、接送客人等。做这一类题时要注意到中西文化差异问题。实际上对同一问题的回答在英语中和汉语中有很大的区别。例如,汉语表示歉意时会直接说“对不起,很抱歉而英语中一定是在某些铺垫词之后,委婉地表达自己的歉意。而中西方对于恭维或者评论(同意或反对)的回答也有所差异。对于第一个说话者的恭维,汉语的回答可能倾向于自谦,而英语里只需说thank you表示接受即可;对于第一个说话者的评论(同意或反对),则要根据评论的内容,用认可或反对的语气来回答。

        (2)习语题

  这类题主要是人们日常活动中用到的一些短语和习语。如:a black: sheep败家子,good for nothing一无是处,wash one's hands不管,不过问等等。对于这一类间题,往往对一个短语的解读影响到对整个题意的理解,平时应该加强对这一类习语、俚语的积累。

(3)结构题

    Man:You will get a vote from Lora?

    Woman:No,She is too young to vote.

    Question:What does the woman mean?

    这个对话中有一个英语结构,即,tooto意思是“太……而不能……”。这道题主要是考查对话情景中双方使用的句子结构是否符合对话的意义。这些典型的英语结构应通过一定的题型练习予以总结积累,平时多注意一些英语的特别结构,分析这些结构造成的特殊含义。

    总之,口语交际需要通过一定量的题型训练积累,培养良好语感。在具体交际过程中需运用日常生活中基本的逻辑推导能力,揣摩说话人的意思或称言外之意”,运用合作原则、相关原则和固定原则,从而选出合适的选项。

    三、专题练习:

答案解析:

    1. A本题属于情景性对话,发生在医院里,要遵循合作原则和相关性原则,纵观四个选项都符合相关性原则,即涉及医生对于该病人的回答,然而,只有A选项符合合作性原则,使回答看起来彬彬有礼,既然是医生开出来的处方,显然,医生并没有拒绝的理由,所以A最符合对话情景。

    2. C从第一个人的话中我们可以推测出第二个人必定是自己开车上下班的,因为第一句话使用了虚拟语气,由此可以判断,第二个人必定对自己驾车给出原因,这才符合逻辑,A选项排除。rush的意思并不符合前后句子的逻辑关系;B选项并未给出原因,只是表示第二个人大体同意第一个人的观点;D选项不符合英美人的说话方式,不符合固定性原则,所以答案选C

    3. D四个选项都以y开头,但只有D选项最符合逻辑,A选项的问句令人费解,使听者不清楚第二个人到底想要说什么;B选项也不符合逻辑,Shells只是美国人的一个特例,更不能由此推问出“美国人说英语吗?”的问题;C选项but后面的话“我想她不会说美语”’并不能由第一句话推断出来,因为题设是大半生住在远东,从而推出“能讲很好的汉语和日语”才符合逻辑。

    4. B第一个人说:“如果我提名你作为大学的校长,你能接受任命吗?”’A看来是一种谦虚的说法,然而这并不符合英美人的表达习,不符合固定性原则;B给出了合理的原因-----我实在没有时间,并且I'd be happy to又使拒绝显得非常有礼貌,符合西方表达方式,尤其是拒绝的方式;C犯了和A一样的错误,如果有人真这样说的话,将会被认为是非常自卑,甚至是在挖苦讽刺呢;即便是愿意接受这样一个职务,D也是不符合西方人表达习惯的,fantastic不太符合这样场景,不够正式。

    5. A这是一个发生在鞋店的对话,第一个人是顾客,要一双六号半的鞋子,显然下一句话应是售货员的回答,A符合逻辑,彬彬有礼;B没有礼貌;C只是在重复顾客的要求,Fine, thank you.更让人感到匪夷所思;D就更不礼貌了。

    6. A本题关键在于正确理解女士的话,她说:“我认为你做得太过火了,自责的应该是你。显然,只有A符合女士的意思”男士不应该这么不讲理。”

    7. C这一对话发生在电话里,弄清人物关系尤为重要,男士说:“你好,我想和Mr. Davis讲话,我是移民局的Thomas Ward.”然后女士说:“对不起,Mr. Ward.Mr. Davis在开会(不能接你电话了)”可见,为移民局工作的是C.

    8. D本题的关键词是regular女士让男士定期检查并加满油,可见只有在加油站才会发生这一对话,此题考查了相关性原则的运用。

    9. C关键是理解meet each other half way,意思是“互相妥协,折衷。即便我们不知道这一短语的意思,也能从half这一单词中猜出,此题考查的是语义的近义替换。

    10.D 女士首先说:“我没了打印纸,可以借我一些吗?”男士回答:“我也没有了,但是我去书店时可以给你带回来一些。”由此可知男士打算去书店买纸,A、B、C都不符合题意,、此题是通过近义的替换来确定。

     词汇与语法结构训练

一、真题分析,

    在职攻读硕士学位全国联考英语考试大纲对考生的英语词汇和语法知识做了详尽的说明。要求考生领会式掌握考试大纲词表中所规定的4250个单词和500个常用词组,即能在读的过程中识别出这些英文单词或词组的词义。要求考生复用式掌握1800个左右的单词和词组,即掌握这些词汇的用法,能在写作和翻译中正确运用这些单词和词组。要求考生应能够较熟练地掌握英语的基本语法知识,要求能在阅读、翻译和写作过程中正确运用这些语法知识,达到获取有关信息和基本表达交流思想的目的。

    在职攻读硕士学位全国联考英语考试大纲规定,词汇考试采用多项选择题的形式。每道题要求考生从所给的四个选项中选择一个最佳答案填人空白处,使句子的意思完整。下面通过对真题分析,让考生进一步领会词汇与语法考题命题方式和考点。

1.    For these reasons,the newspaper is having _____problems in the north of the country.

A. distribution      B. regulation       C. recognition        D. destruction

   答案解析:A.本题测试形近词。根据题意,是表示报纸的发行,故应选A. dis- tribution“发行,分配”;B. regulation“规则,规章”;C. recognition“承认,重视;D. destruction“破坏;均不符题意。

    译文:由于这些原因,该报在该国的北部地区的发行遇到了问题。

2. The brave firemen had fought for days before they managed to _____ the forest fire.

A. put on           B.put up          C. put off           D. put out

答案解析:D.本题测试动词短语。D. putout扑灭,熄灭,出版,生产”题是指扑灭大火。A. put on“穿上,假装,欺骗”;B. put up“举起,提供,提名”;C.、put off,,’推迟,拖延

译文这些勇敢的消防战士与大火奋战了数日后,终于将它扑灭了。

3.Scientists estimate that about 530,000 other objects too small to detect with radar _____the Earth too.

A. being circled                       B. are circling

C. are to be circling                    D. are being circled

答案解析:B.本题测试时态语态。首先星体(objects)环绕地球应该是主动语态,其次该句应该是一直进行的动作,故不能选C,are to表示将要。因此答案为B

译文:科学家们估计有大约53万个其他的星体也在围绕地球旋转,这些星体小到雷达根本无法侦测到。

4._____before we departed last weekend,we would have had a wonderful din- ner party.

A. Had they arrived                    B. Would they arrive

CWere they arriving                   D. Were they to arrive

答案解析:A.本题测试虚拟语气省略if的倒装形式。根据后面的主句谓语would have had可知,题是对过去事实的虚拟,故从句谓语形式应用had done的形式,故答案为A。

译文:如果上个周末他们能在我们离开前到达的话,我们就会有一个非常愉快的晚宴了

10. Urban crowdedness would be greatly relieved if only the _____charged on public transport were more reasonable.

A .fees        B. fares              C. payments        D. costs

答案解析:

1. A考点:形容词的辨析。句意:由于航空公司竞争激烈,旅行的费用大大降低了。选择fierce修饰competition 既合乎习惯又符合句意。

2.A考点:whoever作关系词的用法。根据结构分析,空白处需要填一个表示“……的人”的引导名词从句的关系词。在此需要解释的是,英语中who仅可作疑问代词,表示“谁,而要表示“……的人(即the person who)则要用whoever(主格)或whomever(宾格)。句意:他们总是将座位给那些先到的人。

3. B考点:形容词词义的辨析。句意:在非洲,对那些有幸进人大学的人来说学费非常低。由于学费低,对那些上大学的人来讲应该是“幸运的”。

4. B考点:非谓语动词作插入定语的用法。根据结构分析,该句主语与谓语之间有一个非谓语动词know引导的短语充当的插人语,该插人语作非限定性定语。由于主语与know为被动关系,所以首先可排除A和D;其次,不定式作定语有“将来”的意思,C也可予以排除,故B正确。句意:王教授由于其授课知识量大而闻名,受到学生的热烈欢迎。

5. A考点:与call有关的几个短语动词的辨析。calling on拜访;calling in;来访;calling叩打电话;calling for要求。句意:我们的经理正在拜访一个重要的顾客,所以他下午才能回来。

6. C考点:名词词义的辨析。句意:消防车必须有优先权,因为它得处理突发事件。故emergency(突发事件)正确。其余三个选项的意思是:precaution预防措施:crisis危机:urgency紧迫性。

7. A考点:虚拟语气在非真实条件句中的应用。可以断定分号后面是表示过去情况的非真实条件句,其条件句包含在分号前面的分句中了。虚拟语气用于非真实条件句表示过去情况时,需要用would have done的形式。句意:他说司机一定是出事故了;否则在那时之前就应该到达了。

8. A考点:名词词义的辨析。句意:这部电影对如何观察人类各种各样的性格和情感提出了深刻的见解。根据句中空白前后的结构可以看出insight正确provide a deep insight into可以看作一固定搭配,意思为“提供了有关……的深刻的见解”。

9. C考点:虚拟语气在It is time结构中的应用。英语语法要求在is time引导的that从句中必须用虚拟语气,其谓语形式为动词的过去式。句意这些习惯做法确实该结束了。

10. B考点:名词词义的辨析。四个选项的意思分别为:fees服务性费用;fares交通费;payments支付;costs花费。句意:如果城市的公共交通费更合理一些,拥挤程度就会大大缓解。指的是公共交通的费用,所以B正确。

    阅读理解训练

    4.能够对文章的结构和作者的态度等做出简单的分析和判断。

    阅读理解部分共有4篇长度为300-400词的文章,每篇文章后设5个间题,共20道题。考生须在理解文章的基础上从为每个问题提供的四个备选答案中选择一个最佳答案。本部分满分为40分,每题2分。下面以真题为例予以分析:

Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completed a university degree could find a good career quite easily. Companies toured the academic institutions, competing with each other to select graduates. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.

Most careers organizations highlight three stages for graduates to follow in the process of securing a suitable career: recognizing abilities, matching these to available jobs and presenting them well to possible employers.

Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful thought.

The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. To do this, graduates can study job and position information in, newspapers, or they can visit a career's office, write to possible employers for information or contact friends or relatives who may already be involved in a particular profession. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make `informed comparisons between various careers.

Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career. Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors. Where additional information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, with examples if possible. They should try to balance their own abilities with the employer's needs, explain why they

are interested in a career with the particular company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activities.

When graduates go to an interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the possible employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question arid giving an unsuitable answer.

1. "Those days are gone, even in Hong Kong" in Paragraph 1 suggests that___.

A. finding a good career used to be easier in, Hong Kong than elsewhere

B. now everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good job

C. graduates now face stronger competition in Hong Kong than elsewhere

D. even in Hong Kong companies tour universities trying to select graduates

2. It is implied in Paragraph 3 that graduates should___.

A. aim to give a balanced account of what the employer needs

B. consider careers which suit their values, interests and abilities

C. recognize their own abilities regardless of what the employer looks for

D. stress their personal attitudes and values in job applications

3. According to Paragraph 4, graduates should___.

A. find a good position and then compare it with other careers

B. ask friends or relatives to secure them a good job

C. get information about a number of careers before making comparisons

D. study the opportunities and the kinds of training that will be available

4. In the last paragraph, the writer seems to suggest that___.

A. interviewees should appear humble if they can't give an answer

B. dressing properly is more important than being able to give an answer

C. it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understand

D. it is a good idea for interviewees to be boastful in their answers

5. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Until recently it was quite easy for graduates to get good jobs in Hong Kong.

B. Job seekers should consider as many related factors as possible.

C. Businesses used to visit the universities in Hong Kong to select graduates.

D. Graduates used to compete with each other for a good job in Hong Kong.

本文提到现在大学生就业难的问题,并提出大学毕业生想要找到好工作的建议。

    1.A文章一开始作者就说:不久前几乎每个拿到大学文凭的人都能轻易地找到好工作。各公司都跑到教育机构去争相挑选毕业生。然而这样的时代已经一去不复返了,即使在香港,现在大学生也面临着就业的激烈竞争。

  一、真题分析

    完形填空是测试考生综合运用语言能力的客现题。《在职攻读硕士学位全国联考英语考试大纲》规定,考生应能够运用英语语言知,在15分内阅一篇题材熟悉、度适中、含有10空白的短文,并在全面理解文章内容的基础上,从为空白提供的四选择项中选出最佳答案。短文的长度在150至200个词之间,10题每题1分,占分的10%。

    完形填空试题中的10空白是按照一定的同隔并根据语法或词汇的测试准留出来的,从语篇的角度测试考生文章的理解能力、对词汇的掌握、基本句型结构的了解、语法规则的用以及纣英浯惯用法的熟悉程度,以真题力例:

Visitors to this country are normally admitted for six months, but foreign students can usually stay for one year. They must 1 an educational institution, and they are required to study for a 2 of fifteen hours a week on a daytime course. Prospective students have to show that they can afford their studies, and that they have sufficient 3 resources to support themselves 4 in this country.

In order to work here the foreigner needs a work permit, 5 must be applied for by his prospective employer. The problem here is that, the Department of Employment has the right to grant or 6 these permits, and there is little that can be done 7 it; it would be extremely unwise for a foreign visitor to work 8 a permit, since anyone doing so is liable to immediate deportation. There are some people from the European countries, who are often given 9 residence permits of up to five years. Some other people, such as doctors, foreign journalists, authors and, others can work without permits, and foreign students are normally allowed to 10 part-time jobs while they are stud- ying here.

1. A. establish         B. purchase         C .prove           D. attend

2. A. minimum        B. maximum         C. minority         D. majority

3. A. natural           B. financial          C. human           D. economical

4. A. after           B. since             C. while            D. before

5. A. it               B. what              C. that             D. which

6. A. receive           B. refuse            C .oppose           D. accept

7. A, for             B. on               C. about             D. with

8. A. with             B. before           C. after              D. without

9. A. temporary        B. interior            C. permanent         D. short

10. A. engage          B. take              C. expect             D. work

答果解析:

    1. D测试固定搭配。amend an educational institution意为“参加一个教育机构A项establish 建立;B项purchase“购买;C项prove“证明”;均与题意不符。

  2. A测试形近词和近义词的区别。根据题意,是表示“至少一周十五小时的学习”,表示最小值,应选A项minimum。B项maximum“最大值;C项minority“少数,少数民族”;D项majority“多数,大半;均不符题意。

    3. B测试近义词的区别。表示“经济来源,资金来源”,应用B项financial“财政的,金融的”。A和C明显不符题意;D项economical是表示“节约的,经济实惠的”,也不符题意。

    4. C测试连接词。根据上下文,是指“在该国期间”,故只能选C项while

    5. D测试非限定性定语从句。此处缺少一个关系代词,代替a work permit,在从句中做主语,故应选D项which.

    6. B测试根据上下文选词的能力。此处所缺词与grant用or连接,表示二者是并列的关系,且意思应正好相反,即表示“批准或拒绝”,故应选B项refuse. A项receive“收到,接收;C项oppose“反对;D项accept“接受

    7. C测试介词搭配。根据上下文,是表示“对此(就业部是批准还是拒绝你的申请)你无能为力”,故应选C项about.

8.D测试介词。根据上下文,是表示“外国游客如没有工作许可证就打工是非常不明智的”,故应选D项without.

9. A测试根据上下文选词的能力。此处缺少一个形容词修饰residence permits,表不“临时居住许可证,故应选A项temporary“暂时的,临时的”。B项interior“内部的;C项permanent“长久的,一永久的”;D short“短暂的;均不符题意。

10. B测试固定搭配。Take part-time jobs意为“从事兼职工作”。其他动词都不能搭配jobs

二、应试指导

归根结底,完型填空的题目就是在基本的语法、词汇考点的基础上,再加上阅读的上下穿梭的逻辑能力,所以说完型填空考题是以一合三的考法。其考点包括如下几点:

1.语法题:   

(1语法的2个考点

考点一:从句

考点二:非谓语动词——动词ing形式和一ed分词

(2)连词的使用方法(语法衔接题)

2.词汇题

(1)简单的同义词、近义词辨析

(2)语义的衔接技巧

 3.固定搭配

 在解答完型填空题目的时候;需要注意以下几点:

 1.语义、语法的衔接不是孤立地存在的,具体做题时需要既联系语义、逻辑,又要注意有无惯用或结构上的固定搭配。

 2.选项为实词时,注意其前后有无词汇同现、复现现象,有无形成固定搭配的可能性。

 3.选项为介词时,要看其能否与前后的名词、动词构成习惯搭配。

 4.选项为连接词时,主要考查上下文中的逻辑关系,如转折、让步、原因、结果、比较、对比及递进关系等。做题时需联系上下文,不可孤立地只看一句话。

 5.熟悉常用的逻辑过渡词,注意名词、动词形容词与介的固定搭配关系。

 6.熟悉常用的语法规则和结构

 完形填空是一种综合性很强的题目,它涉及到考生多方面的语言能力,如阅读理解能力、语法分析能力、词汇辨析能力、固定搭配及惯用法等多方面的能力。考生在答题时宜遵循以下步骤:

1.通读全文,掌握大意。

完形填空题的第一句话一般都是完整的,而且它常常就是本段、乃至全文的中心思想。考生应该借助这一主题句,快速浏览全文,掌握短文的基本思想。

2.根据上下文进行判断。考生在做题时必须时时刻刻从上下文出发考虑,因为在大多数情况下,空缺项的填补都需要通过对上下文的分析才能作出判断。

3.由易到难,各个击破。

一般来说,固定搭配、习惯用法最简单,考生只要记住了这些搭配及用法,可以很快找到答案。然后可过渡到部分考语法知识的题目和根据上下文选择词义的题目。最后可做需要全局性理解的题目,这种题目要求较高。这样做题省时,准确率较高。

4.正确运用排除法。

有的题目中,有一些一眼就可排除的选项,这种选项在做题时可首先排除,然后把精力集中于较难取舍的选择项上。当然,在遇有难以判断的选择项时,也可把每一种选择都填人空中加以分析,根据上下文信息和一些语法知识,逐一排除掉错误答案和可能性很小的选择

5.全篇复核,再次确认中心无误。

把所有题目都做出来以后,最好再把全文通读一遍,再次确认对中心思想的理解是否有错误。

一、真题分析:

    在职人员攻读硕士学位人学英语考试中的翻译项目旨在通过翻译测试考生正确理解英文原句的能力以及汉语的书面表达能力。本部分采用语篇翻译的考试形式。要求考生将一篇120-150词的一般性题材的英语段落翻译成汉语。本部分满分为15分,考试时间为30分钟。对考生的要求是对原文理解正确,译文表达准确、通顺。因此,读懂原文,正确理解英文原文的意思是确保译文准确的前提,而通顺的表达则是获取高分的保障。

    翻译考题是英文和中文两种语言的综合考试,难度较大。这一部分考生得分率普遍不是很高,是考生们复习的难点。但这部分有一个显著的特点,即翻译的技巧性强。因此考生们应特别注意翻译的方法和技巧。

    下面通过对2003年在职人员攻读硕士学位人学英语考试中翻译真题的分析,让考生进一步了解翻译考题的难度和考点,把握复习思路和正确的解题技巧。

The generation gap is so great in Hong Kong that the teenagers there rarely turn to their parents or teachers for advice on anything. Whether it be sex, AIDS, school wor- ries or family problems, adults are not considered up to the job.

Until now, no one has asked Hong Kong youth, "What do you think?" Some un- derstanding of the emotions of Hong Kong's youth, however, has come from the work of Dr. leffrey Day-at the University of Hong Kong. His survey of young people does not focus, for example, on how many drugs they take-but tries to answer the question

Why.

Dr. Day hopes the results, which he plans to explain in full next week, will reveal what troubles-as well as pleases-today's high-school students. Conclusions will be passed on not only to government departments but back to the schools which took part.

    答案解析:

    在香港,代沟的问题很严重,以至于十几岁的孩子很少向父母或老师征询意见。不管是性、艾滋病、学校中遇到的麻烦,还是家庭问题,他们认为成人都帮不上忙。

    迄今为止,没人问过香港的年轻人:“你在想什么?”然而,香港大学的杰弗里·戴博士所做的研究使我们对香港年轻人的情感有了一些了解。他对年轻人的调查,重点不是问他们服用多少种毒品之类的问题,而是试图找到其中缘由。

    戴博士计划在下周全面解释研究的结果。他希望研究能揭示当今高中学生的喜和忧。研究结论不仅将送呈政府部门,也将通报参加这项调查的学校。

    第一段:

    第一句:The generation gap is so great in Hong Kong that the teenagers there rarely turn to their parents or teachers for advice on anything.

    译文:在香港,代沟的问题很严重,以至于十几岁的孩子很少向父母或老师征询意见。

    注:①本句中包含一个so…that…句型,意为“如此……以至于……”。

        ②generation gap代沟;turn to求助于。

    第二句:Whether it be sex,AIDS,school worries or family problems,adults are not considered up to the job.

译文:不管是性、艾滋病、学校中遇到的麻烦,还是家庭问题,他们认为成人都帮不上忙。   

注:①whether引导的状语从句,表示“无论,不管”。

        ②注意要将主句adults are not considered up to the job中的被动变主动。

        ③注意不要将the job译为这项工作。   

第二段:

    第一句:Until now,no one has asked Hong Kong youth,”What do you think?”

    译文:迄今为止,没人问过香港的年轻人:“你在想什么?”

    注:until now迄今为止。

    第二句:Some understanding of the emotions of Hong Kong’s youth,however,has come from the work of Dr. leffrey Day-at the University of Hong Kong.

译文:然而,香港大学的杰弗里·戴博士所做的研究使我们对香港年轻人的情感有了一些了解。

注:①首先要理解come from含义: ……来自于……。

       ②注意本句语序的调整。为符合汉语表达习惯,必须将原句的主语和宾语调换位置。

       however是插人语,翻译时应提到句子最前面。

第三句:His survey of young people does not focus,for example,on how many drugs they take- -but tries to answer the question why.

译文:他对年轻人的调查

考范文:

In today's society, life-long learning has become very important for everyone. this is because one needs to renew his knowledge continuously in order to meet the needs of his work and fast development the society.

There are several ways for one to take a life-long learning. One way is to take a part-time education program. It means that one is learning part time while he is work-ing The program could be at undergraduate level or graduate level. The second way is to study by oneself. You can learn whatever you need for your work/ on your own. You can learn from books, from TV programs or from Internet or radio.

In my opinion, life-long learning is necessary to us. We should choose one of the ways mentioned above, which depends on your own personal preference and interest. I prefer the first one because this kind of learning is systematic and formal. With the help of the teachers, it is easier to learn and quicker to get what you need for your work.

1.提纲作文

在职攻硕英语作文试题近几年都是以提纲作文的形式出现的,而提纲作文大多可以写成英语的议论文。

由于这类作文只给出题目,因此考生应特别注意审题、立意和造材,具体步骤如下:仔细分析题意,弄清题目涉及的范围,确定文章的中心思想,切忌跑题;选择正确的文体;选择典型材料,拟定合适的提纲。提纲作文可以按照对比观点型、解决问题型、说明原因型和阐述主题型四种模式进行写作。下面,我们将逐一阐述提纲作文的四种类型。

(1)对比观点型议论文。对比观点型议论结构模式有引出话题——种观点认为……另一种观点认为

……——我的观点(结论)和描述一事物(现象)——分析其优点——分析其缺点——我的态度(看法)两种。

    考生在比较阐述两个不同的观点或分析某事物(现象)的优缺点时,要有自己的观点倾向。对自己赞同的观点可以少花些笔墨,以便在表达自己的观点时还有话可说;对自己反对的观点可以多花些笔墨进行驳斥。如果提纲所列的两个观点自己都不同意, 在评论这两个观点时可以平分笔墨。在文章的最后表明自己的态度和看法时,最好给出相应的理由或者提出更好的建议以减少某现象(事物)可能带来的负面效应。另外,在分别说明论述两种不同观点、某事物(现象)的优缺点、提出建议时,切忌零乱,一定要有条理。可以使用一些过渡词或词组,如:in addition,for one,for another, in conclusion等。

    (2)说明原因型议论文。
