我发现我阅读速度快点儿了,但是呢我一看表发现时间充裕了,反而会松懈掉,然后就开始错题,这个新缺点要克服!一般前面我会做的比较快,后面给插入题和多选题多留时间,因此最终我还是会每篇做满20分钟的~
今天我故意制造了点儿噪音~用另外的电脑放日本动画片+qq提示一直响~2种混合来练习抗干扰,发现qq声音的确厉害,导致我第一篇严重受影响~
#1 Chinese Pottery
China has one of the world's oldest continuous civilizations—despite invasions and occasional foreign rule. A country as vast as China with so long-lasting a civilization has a complex social and visual history, within which pottery陶器 and porcelain瓷器 (这玩意不认识也没事)play a major role.前面都是废话就这个有用
第一段:本篇内容为中国的陶器瓷器
The function and status of ceramics制陶术(这玩意不认识也没事) in China varied from dynasty to dynasty, (考点:功能和重要性每朝代都变)so they may be utilitarian, burial, trade-collectors', or even ritual objects, according to their quality and the era in which they were made. The ceramics fall into three broad types—earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain(考点:分类,很主要:土陶的,粗陶的,和瓷的)—for vessels, architectural items such as roof tiles, and modeled objects and figures. In addition, there was an important group of sculptures made for religious use, the majority of which were produced in earthenware.(考点:宗教用,土陶器)
第二段:ceramics的三个types以及use,以及religious use
The earliest ceramics were fired to earthenware temperatures, but as early as the fifteenth century B.C., high-temperature stonewares were being made with glazed光滑的 surfaces. During the Six Dynasties period (AD 265-589), kilns in north China were producing high-fired ceramics of good quality.考点 Whitewares produced in Hebei and Henan provinces from the seventh to the tenth centuries evolved into the highly prized porcelains of the Song dynasty (AD. 960-1279), long regarded as one of the high points in the history of China's ceramic industry. (考点:宋的成就最高)The tradition of religious sculpture extends over most historical periods but is less clearly delineated描绘 than that of stonewares or
porcelains, for it embraces the old custom of earthenware burial ceramics with later religious images and architectural ornament.(考点:在旧的陪葬用瓷器上用了比较新的宗教纹样) Ceramic products also include lead-glazed tomb models of the Han dynasty, three-color lead-glazed vessels and figures of the Tang dynasty, and Ming three-color temple ornaments, (考点:唐三彩和明三彩)in which the motifs were outlined in a raised trail of slip- as well as the many burial ceramics produced in imitation of vessels made in materials of higher intrinsic 内在的value.
第三段:中国各朝代瓷器简史
Trade between the West and the settled and prosperous Chinese dynasties introduced new forms and different technologies. (东西贸易往来对中国瓷器带来新形式和新技术 》后面举例)One of the most far-reaching examples is the impact of the fine ninth-century AD. Chinese porcelain wares imported into the Arab world. So admired were these pieces that they encouraged the development of earthenware made in imitation of porcelain and instigated鼓动 research into the method of their manufacture. From the Middle East the Chinese acquired a blue pigment—a purified form of cobalt oxide unobtainable at that time in China—that contained only a low level of manganese锰. (新技术:我猜这里在说景泰蓝~这里说由于阿拉伯人葱白咱们瓷器,后来咱们从他们哪儿整了点新颜料回来)Cobalt ores found in China have a high manganese content, which produces a more muted blue-gray color. In the seventeenth century, the trading activities of the Dutch East India Company resulted in vast quantities of decorated Chinese porcelain being brought to Europe, which stimulated and influenced the work of a wide variety of wares, notably Delft. The Chinese themselves adapted many specific vessel forms from the West, such as bottles with long spouts(tips:就是那种瘦高的长嘴茶壶,咱中国的茶壶都是矮胖的), and designed a range of decorative patterns especially for the European market.(新形式:因为远销外海的缘故,中国瓷器也变成了洋形式以迎合欧洲市场)
第四段:贸易往来为中国瓷器带来的新变化
Just as painted designs on Greek pots may seem today to be purely decorative, whereas in fact they were carefully and precisely worked out so that at the time, their meaning was clear, so it is with Chinese pots. To twentieth-century eyes, Chinese pottery may appear merely decorative, yet to the Chinese the form of each object and its adornment had meaning and significance. The dragon represented the emperor, and the phoenix, the empress; the pomegranate indicated fertility, and a pair of fish, happiness; mandarin ducks stood for wedded bliss; the pine tree, peach, and crane are emblems of long life; and fish leaping from waves indicated success in the civil service examinations.(tips:好吧= =鲤鱼跳龙门) Only when European decorative themes were introduced did these meanings become obscured or even lost.(新形式:中国生产了欧洲样式的陶瓷之后,这些老外不能理解的咱们的传统,样式就被遗弃掉了)
第五段:中国传统纹样的含义简介
From early times pots were used in both religious and secular世俗的 contexts. The imperial court(官方) commissioned授权 work and in the Yuan dynasty (A.D. 1279-1368) an imperial ceramic factory (官窑)was established at Jingdezhen. Pots played an important part in some religious ceremonies. Long and often lyrical descriptions of the different types of ware exist that assist in classifying pots, although these sometimes confuse an already large and complicated picture.(再次感叹下老外不懂行)
第六段:陶瓷一直以来都即用于宗教也用于民生,后来中国建立了官窑
总结:作为第一篇文章,难度还行,题不难,每段第一句都带出本段要点,但是某些题目选项比较有迷惑性,但是仔细想下可以选对;对于词汇题,我是完全没辙了…再次深受打击,做的时候感觉完全不会选……
题目分析: 用时19分 错3
1. 4>2 status=importance 词汇题
咱又开门红了…
2. 4 本段最后一句话
3. 3 evoke=develop 这个认识= =
4. 2 推荐使用排除法,1,3,4明显错误
5. 1 这个文中虽然说后来的high-quality,但是没说之前就是low了
6. 1>4 instigate=caused 词汇题
7. 3 找定位句或者排除法
8. whereas=while 这个认识= =
9. 2 第一句话可知,先拿希腊举例再说咱们和他们一样的
10. 4>1问意思题 这个我失策了!刚开始选对了,后来又手欠回去改了,其实很简单的题…因为大致扫了眼后面blabla中国传统纹样我一看见鱼和水直接选4了,人家其实说鲤鱼跳龙门来着…我木细看以外鱼和水代表财运…(固有思想害死人,不仔细看文章害死人!以后要禁止脑补或者yy!)
11. 2 这个用排除法好使,1 3 4都太错了
12. 2 这个定位比之前遇到的高级点~因为要按照以往定位首先是选pot,但是,
如果读懂最后一句话,picture是壶上图案,因此应该是上面捣乱的应该是descriptions
13. 2 直接找颜料相关就行了
14. 1 2 3 ~ 4错在scholars date them;5在陶瓷没去西方之前西方人怎么能知道那上面是啥;6 imperial factories做的都是religious
问题:求解答1&6即使不认识单词还能选对的方法~比如什么句子imply这些词的
-----------------------------我是悲剧的分割线-------------------------------------------
#2 Variations in the Climate
One of the most difficult aspects of deciding whether current climatic events reveal evidence of the impact of human activities is that it is hard to get a measure of what constitutes the natural variability of the climate(我们不能估计人类对自然的影响是因为大气的自然变迁很难测量和统计). We know that over the past millennia the climate has undergone major changes without any significant human intervention. We also know that the global climate system is immensely complicated and that everything is in some way connected, and so the system is capable of fluctuating in unexpected ways. We need therefore to know how much the climate can vary of its own accord in order to interpret with confidence the extent to which recent changes are natural as opposed to being the result of human activities.(前面都废话,就这个重要)考点:主题句-我们需要知道气候的自然变迁以给人类活动的影响形成参照
第一段:这文章想干嘛?答:测量气候咋自然变迁
Instrumental records do not go back far enough to provide us with reliable measurements of global climatic variability on timescales longer than a century. (考点:Instrumental records都是废柴)What we do know is that as we include longer time intervals, the record shows increasing evidence of slow swings in climate between different regimes政体,统治. To build up a better picture of fluctuations appreciably further back in time requires us to use proxy records.(考点:proxy records才是正道)
第二段:关于测量方法
Over long periods of time, substances whose physical and chemical properties change with the ambient周围的 climate at the time can be deposited in a systematic way to provide a continuous record of changes in those properties overtime, sometimes for hundreds or thousands of years. Generally, the layering occurs on an annual basis, hence the observed changes in the records can be dated. Information on temperature, rainfall, and other aspects of the climate that can be inferred from the systematic changes in properties is usually referred to as proxy data.(啥是proxy data)
Proxy temperature records have been reconstructed from ice core drilled out of the central Greenland ice cap, calcite shells embedded in layered lake sediments in Western Europe, ocean floor sediment cores from the tropical Atlantic Ocean, ice cores from Peruvian glaciers, and ice cores from eastern Antarctica. While these records provide broadly consistent indications that temperature variations can occur on a global scale,(
考点:proxy records表明气候变化是一项全球范围的活动)there are nonetheless some intriguing differences, which suggest that the pattern of temperature variations in regional climates can also differ significantly from each other.(考点:intriguing differences还表明同一个区域的气候变化也会有很大差距)
第三段:通过proxy data得出的两个重要结论
What the proxy records make abundantly clear is that there have been significant natural changes in the climate over timescales longer than a few thousand years. (考点:proxy records可以明确表明的确在大于1000年前的时间里发生过重大自然改变)Equally同样的 striking, however, is the relative stability of the climate in the past 10.000 years (the Holocene period).(但其实10000年内还相对稳定)
第四段:通过proxy data得出的其他两个重要结论
To the extent that the coverage覆盖的范围 of the global climate from these records can provide a measure of its true variability, it should at least indicate how all the natural causes of climate change have combined. These include the chaotic fluctuations of the atmosphere, the slower but equally erratic behavior of the oceans, changes in the land surfaces, and the extent of ice and snow. Also included will be any variations that have arisen from volcanic activity, solar activity, and, possibly, human activities.(考点:这种blabla的地方每次必考)
第五段:影响大气变化的因素
One way to estimate how all the various processes leading to climate variability will combine is by using computer models of the global climate. (考点:计算机模型的作用)They can do only so much to represent the full complexity of the global climate and hence may give only limited information about natural variability. (考点:计算机模型作用有限)Studies suggest that to date the variability in computer simulations is considerably smaller than in data obtained from the proxy records.
第六段:计算机模型的作用,但是和proxy比还是smaller
In addition to the internal variability of the global climate system itself, there is the added factor of external influences, such as volcanoes and solar activity .There is a growing body of opinion that both these physical variations have a measurable impact on the climate.(除了地球内部因素还有外部因素:火山爆发和太阳活动) Thus we need to be able to include these in our deliberations. Some current analyses conclude that volcanoes and solar activity explain quite a considerable amount of the observed variability in the period from the seventeenth to the early twentieth century’s, but that they cannot be invoked to explain the rapid warming in recent decades.
第七段:除了上面说的影响因素外还有外部因素
总结:这篇文章内容不难,主要是句子都挺长的看着纠结,但是我单词题又悲剧了…4词汇题就对了1个…看来我还得下很狠心把单词背了…
题目分析: 用时20分 错4
1. 2 定位题,第一段最后一句话
2. 3 定位题 这个2是一个迷惑项,但是定位的话是这句To build up a better picture of fluctuations appreciably further back in time requires us to use proxy records.
3. 4 其他都明显错
4. 1 > 2 定位题 这个有点难度,因为一般都在附近找,但是这次发现附近没有,那么就应该找最前或者最后,于是这次是在第一句substances whose physical and chemical properties change with the ambient climate at the time can be deposited in a systematic way to provide a continuous record of changes in those properties.
5. 3 striking=noticeable 词汇题
6. 3 错太明显了,文中没有做这种比较
7. 2 > 3 词汇题 erratic=unpredictable
8. 2 很明显~去blabla里找就行
9. 1 文中写了
10. 1 > 2 词汇题 deliberations=discussions
11. 4 > 2 词汇题 invoked=called upon
12. 2 主题句
13. 4 就能和4接上
14. 1 3 5 ~ 2错在consistent pattern,因为有变化;4,6文中没提过

#3 Seventeenth-Century European Economic Growth
In the late sixteenth century and into the seventeenth, Europe continued the growth that had lifted it out of the relatively less prosperous medieval period (from the mid 400s to the late 1400s). Among the key factors behind this growth were increased agricultural productivity and an expansion of trade.(农业与商业是促进经济增长的要点)
Populations cannot grow unless the rural economy can produce enough additional food to feed more people考点. During the sixteenth century, farmers brought more land into cultivation at the expense of forests and fens (low-lying wetlands)考点. Dutch land reclamation in the Netherlands in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries provides the most spectacular example of the expansion of farmland: the Dutch reclaimed more than 36.000 acres from 1590 to 1615 alone.
Much of the potential for European economic development lay in what at first glance would seem to have been only sleepy villages. Such villages, however, generally lay in regions of relatively advanced agricultural production, permitting not only the survival of peasants but also the accumulation of an agricultural surplus for investment.考点 They had access to urban merchants, markets, and trade routes.
Increased agricultural production in turn facilitated rural industry,考点
an intrinsic part of the expansion of industry. Woolens and textile manufacturers, in particular, utilized rural cottage (in-home) production, which took advantage of cheap and plentiful rural labor.考点 In the German states, the ravages破坏的结果 of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) further moved textile production into the countryside. Members of poor peasant families spun or wove cloth and linens at home for scant不足的 remuneration in an attempt to supplement meager family income.
More extended trading networks also helped develop Europe's economy in this period. English and Dutch ships carrying rye from the Baltic states reached Spain and Portugal.Population growth generated an expansion of small-scale manufacturing考点, particularly of handicrafts, textiles, and metal production in England, Flanders, parts of northern Italy, the southwestern German states, and parts of Spain.Only iron smelting and mining required marshaling a significant amount of capital (wealth invested to create more wealth).考点
The development of banking and other financial services contributed to the expansion of trade. 考点 By the middle of the sixteenth century, financiers and traders commonly accepted bills of exchange in place of gold or silver for other goods. Bills of exchange, which had their origins in medieval Italy, were promissory notes (written promises to pay a specified amount of money by a certain date) that could be sold to third parties. In this way, they provided credit. At mid-century, an Antwerp financier only slightly exaggerated when he claimed, “0ne can no more trade without bills of exchange than sail without water."考点Merchants no longer had to carry gold and silver over long, dangerous journeys. An Amsterdam merchant purchasing soap from a merchant in Marseille could go to an exchanger and pay the exchanger the equivalent sum in guilders, the Dutch currency. The exchanger would then send a bill of exchange to a colleague in Marseille, authorizing the colleague to pay the Marseille merchant in the merchant's own currency after the actual exchange of goods had taken place.
Bills of exchange contributed to the development of banks, as exchangers began to provide loans. Not until the eighteenth century, however, did such banks as the Bank of Amsterdam and the Bank of England begin to provide capital for business investment. Their principal function was to provide funds for the state.考点
The rapid expansion in international trade also benefitted from an infusion注入 of capital, stemming largely from gold and silver brought by Spanish vessels from the Americas. This capital financed the production of goods, storage, trade, and even credit across Europe and overseas. Moreover an increased credit supply was generated by investments and loans by bankers and wealthy merchants to states and by joint-stock partnerships - an English innovation考点(the first major company began in 1600). Unlike short-term financial cooperation between investors for a single commercial undertaking, joint-stock companies provided permanent funding of capital by drawing on鼓动利用 the investments of merchants and other investors who purchased shares in the company.考点
总结:文章不难,我3篇里读最快的一篇,题有点难,选项迷惑性强,不小心错出5个来~11题纠结半天,导致后面题有点不够时间了,结果做完回去继续纠结11还改错了~文章大意我都明白,但是选不对,看来还得加强细节阅读~
题目分析: 用时18分 错5
1. 3 > 2 含义题,一开始选对后来改错了,刚开始不选3因为纠结decline这词“The general level of prosperity declined”,嗯也许就是这个词因此这项不对;后来改了因为觉得文中没直接说明little economic growth;不过看来little economic growth就是relatively less prosperous medieval period
2. 4 > 3 词汇题 key=important 这都错,我木救了~
3. 4 定位题 文中说了
4. 1
定位题 文中说了
5. 1
定位题 文中说了
6. 1 > 2 词汇题 meager= very low 词汇题再度悲剧,这个不认识的话就无法了…和1区分度不强
7. 2 嗯就是前面结论的举例说明
8. 3 就是这个意思,另外其他都太错了
9. 3 文中写了
10. 3 定位题 文中找
11. 3 > 1 此题不解,这题不知道从何来判断,虽然第一感觉我选对了后来又改错 不知道咋判断
12. 2 states在to后面是借贷方
13. 2 > 3 插入题 这题算是一个理论,然后把它插入相应例子前面~可能我读那段太马虎了,没仔细看,选错~
14. 1 3 6
