8.16 阅读基本上没有大问题了
自己的一些步骤
1. 上来1-2分钟浏览全文(首段首句, 每段话的主题句迅速浏览,一般是第一句,有时候是转折后的那句)
2.依次做题, 细节题注意定位 (到了句子解释题,把智商降低,对应点最多的是答案)
3. 插句子题, 分析句子的关键词和代词, 回去找原文重现, 一般第一次出现重现之后就是答案,如果出现在首句,考虑它是否TS
以后每天做1-2 篇练手, 保持状态.

继而开始了突破听力之旅 (力争这两天来个突破,现在已经曙光乍现)
发现其实多变的表象下还是掩藏了很多共性

首先dialogue
听之前带有心理预期， 它会讲什么-- 开头认真听--main point|main problem-记下来
听的过程中 注意事项：
听词－another question is that , the other, only 之后必有考题，一旦察觉到这些词，立即打起精神！
一些比较重要的副词或形容词--deliberately, intentionally, purposely，exactlly, 说话人通常说的比较清楚， 这是敲警钟，该记！
语调：一个轻的声音突然高了起来， 态度来了！
多次重复的词必是考点
结尾处：题目亮相， 表建议之类， perhaps， you should

两个关键： 1 主旨题的解答， 文中提到的部分信息不能拿来解主观题
                 2 老师的建议必考

关于背景， 有些词汇注意下： dean 院长， chair 系主任， counselor 辅导员
canteen 餐厅， wing/annex 副楼
skip class, seminar 研讨会， class participation, colloquium 报告课  workshop专题 tutorial 辅导课
作业： assignment, project, dissertation
journal 期刊， questionnaire , collect data
deadline/extention  outline大纲
选课的过程，首先choose/select 选课---register注册课--通常遇到困难（there is no opening）--找老师signature--sign you in
退课的过程 drop a class 通常是philosophy, poetry

还有一个就是关于态度
正态度 fantastic, thought provoking, stimulating, sense of humor
副态度 boring, doze off 昏昏欲睡 drop off to sleep, clocker water, make no sense

In sum, 对话笔记不用记多，除非几个关键点

讲座（还在总结中，万变不离其宗）
1 主题 2结构 3 例子 4总结

关于速记 report-Rpt  before- B4  assignment-assgn  negative--   professor- prf

1 一上来抓开头，讲什么
2 如有解释，不要记，来不及，认真听
3 出现小黑板提示，抄下来
4 不会考的特别细，把握大细节
5 回放的题与原文来联系不多，分必得

经典加试题：

Ragtime音乐

1. 谈Ragtime music，能够表现年青人的活力(spirit of youth)之类的。

2. 还写piano比较能够表达这种音乐，不过由于运输原因，有时不用钢琴(出现考点)，在Garden concert和一些类似环境下，需要用钢琴，因为它共鸣，声音大。然后还说rock'n roll什么的。这里出现考点，后来流动演出，piano不方便，慢慢被其他乐器替代。

3. 女学生说了一堆后，来了一句 I just don't get it，意思是要教授explain。

4. 还说piano 之所以当时那么受欢迎，一是因为它能与音律产生和谐，另一是因为当时它算一种财富地位的象征什么的。

5. 最后说它现在的应用在Jazz improvisation。//有学生提出同Jazz比，教授说是jazz是improvise

一会把听力另外几种方法总结好，再做两篇
晚上一篇阅读 一篇小作文 一篇大作文 口语一套  必须完成！

做了篇阅读真题， 自我感觉良好，貌似题目很简单
结果居然错了三道··· 5555555  ~~~~(>_<)~~~~
分析分析··
Paragraph 5: There is little doubt, however, that desertification in most areas results
primarily from human activities rather than natural processes. The semiarid lands bordering
the deserts exist in a delicate ecological balance and are limited in their potential to adjust to increased environmental pressures. Expanding populations are subjecting the land to
increasing pressures to provide them with food and fuel. In wet periods, the land may be able to respon d to these stresses. During the dry periods that are common phenomena along the desert margins, though, the pressure on the land is often far in excess of its diminished capacity, and desertification results.

4. According to paragraph 5, in dry periods, border areas have difficulty
○ Adjusting to stresses created by settlement
○ Retaining their fertility after desertification
○ Providing water for irrigating crops
○ Attracting populations in search of food and fuel

4. ○ 1
T his is a Factual Information question asking for specific information that can be found
in paragraph 5. The correct answer is choice 1: border areas have difficulty "adjusting to
stresses created by settlement." The paragraph says that "expanding populations," or
settlement, subject border areas to "pressures," or stress, that the land may not "be able
to respond to." Choice 2 is incorrect because the paragraph does not discuss "fertility "
after desertification. Choice 3 is also incorrect because "irrigation" is not mentioned here.
The paragraph mentions "increasing populations" but not the difficulty of "attracting
populations," so choice 4 is incorrect.


Paragraph 6: Four specific activities have been identified as major contributors to the
desertification processes: overcultivation, overgrazing, firewood gathering, and overirrigation.The cultivation of crops has expanded into progressively drier regions as population densities have grown. These regions are especially likely to have periods of severe dryness, so that crop failures are common. Since the raising of most crops necessitates the prior removal of the
natural vegetation, crop fail ures leave extensive tracts of land devoid of a plant cover and
susceptible to wind and water erosion.

6. According to paragraph 6, which of the following is often associated with raising crops?
○ Lack of proper irrigation techniques
○ Failure to plant crops suited to the particular area
○ Removal of the original vegetation
○ Excessive use of dried animal waste

6. ○ 3
This is a Factual Information question asking for specific information that can be found
in paragraph 6. The correct answer is choice 3, "removal of the original vegetation."
Sentence 4 of this paragraph says that "the raising of most crops necessitates the prior
removal of the natural vegetation," an explicit statement of answer choice 3. Choice 1,
lack of proper irrigation techniques, is incorrect because the paragraph mentions only
"overirrigation" as a cause of desertification. No irrigation "techniques" are discussed.
Choices 2 and 4, failure to p l ant suitable crops and use of animal w aste, are not discussed.



land and the tremendous numbers of people affected, as well as from the great difficulty of
reversing or even slowing the process. Once the soil has been removed by erosion, only the passage of centuries or millennia will enable new soil to form. In areas where considerable soil still remains, though, a rigorously enforced program of land protection and cover-crop
planting may make i t possible to reverse the present deterioration of the surface.
T his is an Inference question asking for an inference that can be supported by the passage .

11. It can be inferred from the passage that the author most likely believes which of the
following about the future of desertification?
○ Governments will act quickly to control further desertification.
○ The factors influencing desertification occur in cycles and will change in the future.
○ Desertification will continue to increase.
○ Desertification will soon occur in all areas of the world.

The correct answer is choice 3; the passage suggests that the author believes
"Desertification will continue to increase." The last paragraph of the passage says that
slowing or reversing the erosion process will be very difficult, but that it may occur in
those areas that are not too affected already if rigorously enforced anti-eros i on processes
are implemented. Taken t ogether, this suggests that the author is not confident this u.il1
happen; therefore. it can be inferred that he thinks erosion w ill continue. The passage
pro v ides no basis for inferring choices 1, 2, or 4.
