小鱼有上过这种类型的班么？你的看法如何？谢谢了

until是直到现在为止，nobody是没有人，这句话就是说，直到现在为止，还没有人意识到。。。
水晶小鱼 发表于 2009-10-14 08:35

我帮你补充一下： until 引导的句子，其后的内容，永远是说过去的情况。 也就是until 之前的情况。 这句话按照汉语习惯应该这么翻译：

从来都没有人会认为地球在宇宙中一直是处于无法预知的撞击影响中，对这个道理的认知直到最近几十年前才被人们所改变。




这是汉语的习惯。 因为如果直译按照英语的语序，很多人会认为：直到现在人们也没明白这个道理。 这样的话就理解错了。 选项里正好有一个错误选项
与这个意思相近。看来ETS的中出这套题人员里，一定有中国人存在。 这道题出的太细致了，特地为中国考生设置了一个错误选项。很阴险，很毒辣~~~！！！


其实只要记住：until 后面的句子说的是until以前的事就行了。   这个句型在GRE填空里也有很多，当时被陈圣元在《GRE句子填空》那本书里强调的让我终生难忘了。

我做閱讀時  都時先看題再回段落找答案  遇到字彙題時  懂的字就直接做題沒看那段落  而我發現一很大的問題是  做到最後一題歸納題和總結題時  就不知道全文再說啥了  但是要是我每段文字都看的話  這樣真的很拖時間 ...

下面有关这道题的解法来自诸葛的帖子，他的帖子很好，你也可以去看看https://bbs.gter.net/thread-1013939-1-1.html

解法：1. 阅读文章每段TS，比对选项进行选择。2. 排除明显的细节信息选项，然后剩下的就是正确选项。) ~9 R8 L# q% V% k5 h

正确选项特征：1. 正确选项必须与本题的引导句信息相关；2. 正确选项必须是文章中的重要信息——通常是段落的TS主题句改写；3. 正确选项必须是原文中处于被其他论据或细节支持的信息。) }; z" a2 [' r6 v, R

错误选项特征：1. 原文中的细节信息一旦出现该选项必错。2. 出现了原文没有提及过的信息，该选项必错。3. 与原文叙述矛盾的选项必错。4 Y: f  P8 n1 G! x9 \  J

十：图表信息题（Fill In A Table）& V% E2 n' T! {

按他的方法试试，可以在做阅读题的时候，每段的首句，末句，中心句都读下，剩下的就pass，这样做这种题就好多了

stefanie299 发表于 2009-10-14 15:43

看你还要准备多长时间了，如果时间比较长，可以报一个，XDF的挺贵就是。
我当时上了的，个人还是收益很大的，上个班对前面了解这门考试，准备考试都很有帮助。

不过，要说明的是，上完课是不能直接考试的，还要经过自己很长一段时间的努力才行的。关键还是靠自己

如果底子薄弱的话，还是建议报一个。

44楼没有啊。。别人问的是另一到题....
谢谢帮忙
oneinthousand 发表于 2009-10-14 12:37

道个歉先，没有仔细看，不好意思啊哈

Paragraph 2:How might this inability to recall early experiences be explained? The sheer passage of time does not account for it; adults have excellent recognition of pictures of people who attended high school with them 35 years earlier Another seemingly plausible explanation--that infants do not form enduring memories at this point in development-also is incorrect. Children two and a half to three years old remember experiences that occurred In their first year, and eleven month olds remember some events a year later. Nor does the hypothesis that infantile amnesia reflects repression---or holding back—of sexually charged episodes explain the phenomenon．While such repression may occur，people cannot remember ordinary events from the infant and toddler periods either．

What purpose does paragraph 2 serve in the larger discussion of children’s inability to grecall early experiences?
k( ~- c- C9 ~5 q$ u9 |4 s, K& f# X

○To explain why infantile amnesia is of great interest to researchers

请帮忙分析下1和3，为何不选1
先说下3的正确性，作者就是先说了这个理论是错误的，然后举出例子说eleven month olds remember some events a year later推翻了这个理论，然后后文提出了正确的理论

再说下1的错误性，看下红色的字体，这个理论不是没有根据的，他们有依据： infants do not form enduring memories 只是这个理论看上去正确，其实是错误的，而不是unreliable。

有一篇文章中的两道题不是很明白：
Electricity from Wind

Paragraph 3: Wind power has a significant cost advantage over nuclear power and has become competitive with coal-fired power plants in many places. With new technological advances and mass production, projected cost declines should make wind power one of the world’s cheapest ways to produce electricity. In the long run, electricity from large wind farms in remote areas might be used to make hydrogen gas from water during periods when there is less than peak demand for electricity. The hydrogen gas could then be fed into a storage system and used to generate electricity when additional or backup power is needed.

Paragraph 4: Wind power is most economical in areas with steady winds. In areas where the wind dies down, backup electricity from a utility company or from an energy storage system becomes necessary. Backup power could also be provided by linking wind farms with a solar cell, with conventional or pumped-storage hydropower, or with efficient natural-gas-burning turbines. Some drawbacks to wind farms include visual pollution and noise, although these can be overcome by improving their design and locating them in isolated areas.

3. Based on the information in paragraph 3 and paragraph 4, what can be inferred 　　about the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Texas mentioned at the end of paragraph 1?
○They rely largely on coal-fired power plants.
○They contain remote areas where the winds rarely die down.
○Over 1 percent of the electricity in these states is produced by wind farms.
○Wind farms in these states are being expanded to meet the power needs of the United
States.
第四个选项不知道错在哪个地方，还有就是第二选项是不是可以翻译成这些地区包括了风源不足的偏远地区？


Paragraph 1: Since 1980, the use of wind to produce electricity has been growing rapidly.
█In 1994 there were nearly 20,000 wind turbines worldwide, most grouped in clusters called
wind farms that collectively produced 3,000 megawatts of electricity. █Most were in
Denmark (which got 3 percent of its electricity from wind turbines) and California (where
17,000 machines produced 1 percent of the state’s electricity, enough to meet the residential
needs of a city as large as San Francisco). █In principle, all the power needs of the United
States could be provided by exploiting the wind potential of just three states—North Dakota,
South Dakota, and Texas. █
13. Look at the four squares █that indicate where the following sentence could be added
to the passage.
Some companies in the power industry are aware of this wider possibility
and are planning sizable wind-farm projects in states other than California.
Where would the sentence best fit?
Click on a square █to add the sentence to the passage.

为什么是放在最后一个空呢？我选择的是第三选项。不太明白。

Paragraph 4: As oil becomes increasingly difficult to find, the search for it is extended into more-hostile environments. The development of the oil field on the North Slope of Alaska and the construction of the Alaska pipeline are examples of the great expense and difficulty involved in new oil discoveries. Offshore drilling platforms extend the search for oil to the ocean's continental shelves—those gently sloping submarine regions at the edges of the continents. More than one-quarter of the world's oil and almost one-fifth of the world's natural gas come from offshore, even though offshore drilling is six to seven times more expensive than drilling on land. A significant part of this oil and gas comes from under the North Sea between Great Britain and Norway. Of course, there is far more oil underground than can be discovered. It may be in a pool too small or too far from a potential market to justify the expense of drilling. Some oil lies under regions where drilling is forbidden, such as national parks or other public lands. Even given the best extraction techniques, only about 30 to 40 percent of the oil in a given pool can be brought to the surface. The rest is far too difficult to extract and has to remain underground.

7．Which of the following strategies for oil exploration is described in paragraph 4?
○Drilling under the ocean’s surface
○Limiting drilling to accessible locations
○Using highly sophisticated drilling equipment
○Constructing technologically advanced drilling platforms

B为啥子不对涅~~谢谢

你问的第一个题，4错在：原文说的是 in principle。。。所以四的说法不对

第二个问题：“this wider possibility”与“in principle”对应的..所以填在四处

文章讲“Offshore drilling platforms extend。。。”所以用"limiting。。。"不对吧...

是的， 第三项过于具体， 因为只提到了organ , 而没有说skeleton和skin,
文中TS上来就在说3个元素的问题，所以我觉得把拿不准的选项和TS比较是行之有效的办法~
我也要考了，加油~~

是Artisans那篇吧？你写成agression了。。。
1错在它与原文意思不符， 因为并没有highly success

Early Cinema 那篇
虽然ts里提到了1项的内容，但也是ts的一部分细节内容，因此1项并不能概括整段的意思啦
