The midge ___to any of several species of small flies, regers to a mosquito-like insect with slender wings and body, long legs ,and antennae.
A. which a term applied  B.a term applied
答案是B，我选的A，这两个在这里难道不一样么？

which要加上动词，不能光省略动词
而B是主语谓语一起省略，所以可以

我还有0310、0405、0408、0410没有做，请问留哪一套作最后一套呢？据说0405最简单，我把它留到12号做可以么？（13号就要去考场了：）

今天做了一下0308，听力17，语法竟然错了7个！！怀疑答案有问题，哪位提供 ...

好象04以后的题目答案都说不太准。呵呵
可以考虑12号做套之前做过的，找个很早以前做过的

关于听力：
推荐一点东西给各位
1。历年TOEFL听力最常考的55个习语结构汇编
https://bbs.gter.net/viewthre ... type%26typeid%3D120

2。2000年5月后真题听力短语及各部分心得（参考一下他底下谈的感想）
https://bbs.gter.net/viewthre ... type%26typeid%3D120

3。个人认为攻克A的办法就是及时放弃。听不清楚马上蒙个选项里没有听到的词的，然后下一道。  其次就是注意听完回去揣摩听力原文，没听出来的到底是什么内容

Exercise fifteen
32. During the pre-Revoluationary period, the [press] in Britain's North American colonies was [subject] to licensing laws [similar]to [them ]of Great Britain itself.
答案选第四个，改为those，怎么判断的？分不清them和those区别。
记住平行指代的时候只能用that和those，没有用them的。记住that到时候去推就好了。them 根it的意思一样。如果主语或指代的词是完全的一个东西才能用it，比如我的手类比你的手，就只能that

Exercise Seventy
26 [Among the] symptoms of measles, which takes about twelve days [to]incubate, [are]a high fever, swelling of glands in the neck, a cough, and [sensitive ]to light.
答案选第四个， 改为sensitivity。 我的问题是这句话Among引导的介词短语可以做主语？还是倒装了？
介词短语句首，倒装，时间地点除外

exercise eighteen
6 The first inhabitants of the territories ------Canada came across the Bering Strait and along the edge of the Arctic ice.
C that make up now
D that now make up
答案选D，什么语序。时间要放前面嘛？不懂

这题很诡异！不解
我的理解是相当于it is now，但是后边动宾结构长，所以时间修饰就放前边了。而且C确实是非常不通[/blue]

exercise nineteen
10 In the 1820's physical education became------of the curriculum of Harvard and Yale Universities.
A to be part
B which was part
C was part
D part

答案选C：不解，关键是became这个这里是分词，还是谓语动词。？become 过去分词是不是也是become？这个小词我死了至少两次。  
答案选D。别哭

收到。看了这两个帖子非常好。恩，我今晚试一试这个蒙题的方法。
我在前面做题的时候没用到这个技巧。赞。
我相信我听力应该还能提高两三题。开始有感觉:victory:了。

总得来说大有进步,觉得行文流畅了很多，一些小错误，稍微注意一下，就好了.继续努力

Topic some people believe that a college or university education should be available to all students. Others believe that higher education should be available to good students. Discuss these views. Which view do you agree with? EXPLAIN WHY.

观点：要面向全部学生的高等教育
1．        利于大多数人素质提高
2．        缓解社会就业压力
3．        小让步，面向好学生的专门高等教育有一定好处。
In recent these(可以把these 删除) years, what the issue is weather (whether,写错单词啊，兄弟)higher education should be offered to more and more people. Although some people strongly object this trend, I still provide justification to support that higher education should belong to all people.

First of all, higher education not only imparts a great deal of academic knowledge but also culture social skills, including law, moral spirit and correct world view. Actually, these things are urgently required by all students. If higher education opens its learning gate to whole common students, the quality of citizens is (will )upgrade quickly. For example, when people own these knowledge and common sense, they should (这里用will会比较好,因为should在英语里，是应该的意思)avoid committing a crime. Western developed nation(s) usually offer this kind higher education which face to all people so that their criminal rate is lower than some developing countries. Therefore, I am inclined to the higher education which faces to all students.

Furthermore, to resolve a dilemma between increasing population and limited employment opportunities, people should let more people enroll in higher education. （这样用不定式开头引导句子对嘛？）这种用法不错 In other words, higher education helps more people to avoid unemployment. For instance, Universities and colleges will recruit more than two million students every year in china. The astonishing number completely shows the remarkable effect of higher education in resolving the dilemma.

Admittedly, higher education which is available to good student has some special advantages. On the one hand, it is likely to culture some outstanding persons in special fields. On the other hand, it spends less money compared to general higher education. However, on account of general benefit more people in a long period, so I prefer to general higher education. （最后一句这样写有没有问题）  这句我的意思是改了，比较艰涩,而且语法好象也有些不是很地道.你可以看看这样写 According to the general benefits of providing higher education to all people, I prefer to general higher education.

In short, all people's quality improved, and employment pressure releasing in the society strongly support the view that higher education should be given to all people. After all, we ought to(can,ought to也是应该的意思，这里用can会好些) earn more benefit(s) for (from providing higher education to) more people.

汗，自己还检查了，谁知道还有这么多小错误。

Too thanks。这个回复很及时，我今天刚刚听了托福的新东方作文课程，感觉收获挺大，有动笔的欲望了。刚好两者可以结合起来。等下晚上总结一下，再写一篇。

太感谢两位了，bloodcherry 和trees两位姐姐，小弟人在广州，不知道两位人在何方？有机会来广州的话，我一定好好报告两位一顿。（呵呵，有贿赂的嫌疑）。

我个人感觉
这篇文章写得明显比以前晦涩难懂,可能是因为你用了不少摘抄的句子的原因,但是事实上，很多老外写文章，能用简单的词,就不要用复杂的词.这样整个看起来会比较舒服.而且,如果你并不是很熟练用的话，很多词很容易用错,可能反而会误导自己

但总得来说，文章写得不错，现在该练的是控制时间.

绿宝书Topic 118：Some people like to travel with a companion. Other people prefer to travel alone. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.


To travel alone or with a companion, which to pursue depends largely on the purpose and specific situations of your trip. If you would like to try a stimulating adventure, if the destination is safe enough, and if you are pretty experienced, you may travel alone. As for me, sho(这词啥意思?:confused:) is not sophisticated in travelling,so touring with a skilled companion is a wiser idea.

As to a journey, security comes the first. Undoubtedly, travelling alone inspires one's potential enormously, however, if the safety of life cannot be ensured, everything will end. Travelling in a place you have never been before, there are too many things unpredictable to settle on yourself. Set my roommate for an（要an么？如果是roommates呢？）(要的,这个an是定义example的) example, who climbed Mount Tai in another city two days ago. She hurt her right knee on the summit(改成during the trip好些), and had to sit in a telpher to get down to the ground, accompanied by(with?) her companion and using his money. God (no one) knows what would happen to her without her companion. So the conclusion is evident(evidence) that if  you have a companion to take care of you, safety will be better ensured. After all, (in other word,这里这句话,不太象是总结陈词,所以用after all不是很合适)two heads are better than one.

Despite(Other than) safety, the second reason lies in fun. As is known to all who(that?) (who) have travelled, dull (用boring好些吧,我几乎没见过老外用这样的词)time is inevitable during a journey, especially when facing a long and tough road or so. Humor stories and jokes work a lot at this time, and of you exchange your experience in other tours, I bet you can learn more interesting things than expected. However, a sole traveller's nerve might still be in tension at this time.

Adding to the two ones above, the third reason is that sharing some expense(es?) benefits the two,把这2个词删去both. For example,(as an instance,可以稍微换一下词,举例老用for example很单调的) one of them pays for the rent of a car, while the other takes charge of food and a map. There is no need to rent two cars and buy two maps, isn't there?(it?)

Taking everthing into account, although travelling alone does do good to hencing a sense of independence and self-reliance, and stimulates(encourage好些) one to explore his or her potential ability, I  (still) think a journey involves far more than that(those). Considering safety, fun and expenses, I prefer travelling with a companion as long as possible.


这篇文章本来打算融进以前摘抄的东西，实际写的过程中才发现由于原来那些东西都是从很多文章中抽出来的，所以对于一个特定的topic，可以用的并不多。而且比较好的句式结构什么的，平时已经潜意识就在用了。如果要挖空心思写一篇所谓高级的文章，实在很浪费时间和脑细胞，由于不停的打乱思路，还很容易出现错误。这次尝试最大的收获是让我熟悉了一下以前抄下来的东西，这篇吭哧出来的作文也不见得比以前好，两位姐姐看看能给几分？

对于最后几天的状态建议
我严重同意吹丝mm的
因为我自己也有体会,在最后的几天出现状态反复的情况很正常,一定要控制自己，不要太当一回事,该怎么训练就怎么训练，不要让突如其来的错误乱了自己的脚步

我举个自己的例子,大家可以借鉴一下
我考T的时候， 前一个星期突然出现状态反复,语法狂错，一般一套错个7,8题是常事
当时心惊胆战,最后几天每天早上5点起来做语法,一直做到晚上11点
其他的听力阅读全都扔一边了
结果越做越错,越错越多
一直到考前最后一天，状态一样差得一塌糊涂
结果考的时候我对自己说，死就死了吧,大不了下次再来，算练习了
结果考的时候语法拿了满分,倒是因为一个星期没碰过听力,听力的状态是真的下降了，严重拖了我的分

所以大家这个时候如果出现任何的反复，都属于正常现象,一定要对自己有信心.相信自己,TOEFL不在话下,不就是一个洋八股吗?我们中国人一向很厉害的.大家一定要心平气和的做好最后几天的冲刺和状态保持,加油:victory::victory:

九天玄鸡同学，现在我和CHERRY已经基本没有精力再照顾除了本身这组之外的同学了。不好意思了。
你还是把帖子发到大坛子里吧，别人看到的机会比较多。而且想让别人帮你改的最好办法是先去帮别人修 ...

不管怎么样,还是谢谢了~

Many thanks!!

最近做题的确有些反复，开始挺担心的，后来就麻木了:p

那篇作文我自己都觉得很难受。。。谢谢trees姐姐指出的错误和不妥当的地方，最后这几天我会抓紧的！:)

04。1
受完这样的打击，听力错了21，语法3，阅读9。
这样的成绩估计只够550了。
昨天才对人说，听力错也不会多过16吧，今天来了一个爆发，21个，都快疯了。
等一下好好看看，怎么回事。
听力我就无话可说了，等下看看，什么原因。
那篇古语言的一下错了5个。阅读还是词汇不过关。速度不够快。
