	<p><font face="Verdana"><br/>我朋友以前给我推荐过一个网站，在上面可以找到各个国家的语言伙伴，你注册之后可以看见他们的个人信息，包括所在城市、职业、年龄、兴趣爱好等等等等。你可以选择自己喜欢的朋友，与他们交流，提高语言能力。<br/></font></p>
	<p><font face="Verdana"><br/>http://friends.foreignercn.com/public/home.jhtml<br/></font></p>
	<p><font face="Verdana"><br/>我注册之后认识了许多说英语的朋友，从他们那儿我学到了很多地道的表达。受益匪浅。现在也把这个网站介绍给你们，希望能够对你们有帮助。 <br/><br/></font></p>]]></description></item><item><title>学习贴士：6个月内口语能力突飞猛进的秘诀</title><link>http://www.unityenglish.com/bbsxp/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=2&amp;ID=1804&amp;Page=1</link><author>it</author><pubDate>2009-4-3 8:55:53</pubDate><description><![CDATA[<p>如果具备一定的英语基础，那么，一个口语能力薄弱的人，在6个月的时间内，做到和外国人进行没有障碍的交流，依我的经验来看是完全可以做到的。这个基础，以我个人来说，通过了大学英语课程并具备了4000左右的<a target="_blank"><u><strong><font color="#16387c">词汇</font></strong></u></a>。基本上每一个大学二年级学生都具备（三四年级时没有英语课了）。</p>
	<p>具体的方法如下：</p>
	<p><strong>1、看电影学英语，但是要关掉字幕，同时尽量大声复述所有能够听懂的剧中对话</strong></p>
	<p>我得承认，对于一个英语听说能力不强的人，如果照做的话一开始的过程会非常的痛苦。很有可能的结果是一部电影下来什么也没有听明白。但是，请相信我，如果能够坚持这样做的话，那么在10部电影之后，就会听懂相当多的对白，并且能够复述听懂的对白中的一半。每一个人都有接受语言的本能，这个办法带有一点点强制性，但可以把我们的语言潜能发掘出来。</p>
	<p>在一开始的时候，建议挑选一些曾经看过的影碟，这样会帮助你对英语原声的理解。另外，一定要保证每天，最多不超过两天就要看一盘碟片。另外，如果条件允许，那么最好自己在一个房间里面以避免干扰。</p>
	<p>这个方法可以有效锻炼英语听说的基本功。</p>
	<p><strong>2、利用一切机会扩大自己的词汇量，但是先要扔掉4-6级考试标准词汇表</strong></p>
	<p>4-6级的词汇表对于扩大词汇量几乎没有价值，这个是我的个人之见。希望不要在这上面画太多的时间。如果看碟片的程度已经可以听懂一些对白的话，那么可以关注一下词汇，如果在一个段落中一个生词反复出现，那么可以打开英文字幕，然后查一下这个词的意思。花15s记住这个词，然后再看碟片，特别留意新词汇。这种方式，会让生词记忆的特别牢。对于感兴趣的咨讯，不妨多访问一些英文的站点。体育，娱乐，新闻，或者随便什么其他的，随意浏览即可。对于出现率高的生词，就查一下，然后记下来。</p>
	<p>最后，要利用可能的机会记生词。注意广告、杂志、游戏和新闻中出现的每一个让自己感兴趣的词。比如，在乘地铁的时候，可以注意一下吴大维主持的Talk Da Talk短片，会有机会学到"Yellow cab"这样地道的表达。这是<a target="_blank"><u><strong><font color="#16387c">英语口语</font></strong></u></a>的内功，需要日积月累。</p>
	<p><strong>3、勇敢一点，不要怕和老外交流</strong></p>
	<p>今天在中国的老外已经非常的多了，我们的身边常常有机会合他们面对面。所有在中国的老外，都和我们一样。也希望多了解一些中国并希望学一些中文。很多时候阻碍我们去交流的其实是我们自己内心，害怕犯错误，害怕出洋相。不妨告诉各位我曾经出过多大的洋相：在两个瑞典女孩子询问我对瑞典人的看法的时候，我曾经让她们误认为我在嘲笑她们衣着滑稽-_-b；在我们第一位荷兰员工报道，需要填写一些表格的时候，我错误的翻译成需要他去修理一些桌子；我还曾经在一间酒吧里错误地进入了女厕所，退出来之后被一哥们儿怪笑着问我是不是走错了（后来我发现还有别人犯了同样的错误，那扇该死的门上根本没有任何标示，除非你进去，否则不会发现自己走错了）。</p>
	<p>所以我想，各位大概不会犯更糟糕的错误了，既然如此，何不勇敢尝试呢。在和外国人的交流中才真正能够质的提高自己的英语口语能力。同时，和native speaker的对话中可以学到许许多多很地道的词汇，潜移默化中让我们的英语口语变得更地道。</p>
	<p><strong>4、坚持</strong></p>
	<p>我所提出的方法其实绝对不难，真正比较难以做到的是坚持。如果能够坚持下来六个月的话，我相信那个时候你的口语能力一定会令自己感到惊讶的。</p>
	<p>在我自己的英语口语学习博客上，我以连载的方式在纪录我从我的荷兰朋友兼同事那儿学来的许多既地道又有趣的表达。在这里，大家可以看到一些对于日常表达有用的东西。</p>]]></description></item><item><title>具有中国特点的口语 你知道是什么意思吗？（必看）</title><link>http://www.unityenglish.com/bbsxp/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=2&amp;ID=1798&amp;Page=1</link><author>it</author><pubDate>2009-3-29 9:16:48</pubDate><description><![CDATA[<p>1980年，葛传椝先生就提出了“中国英语”的概念。他说：“在旧中国和新中国，讲或写英语时都有些我国所特有的东西要表达。如科举 (imperial examinations)、翰林院(Hanlinyuan 或 Imperial Academy)、五四运动(May Fourth Movement)、赛先生(Mr. Science)、德先生(Mr. Democracy)、白话文(baihua wen 或 baihua)这些不属于讲英语民族的人所惯用的词语，应当称作 China English。<br/>”这个提法肯定了中国英语现象。</p>
	<p>　　1991年，汪榕培先生将“中国英语”定义为“它是中国人在中国本土上使用的、以标准英语为核心、具有中国特点的英语”。</p>
	<p>　　你能说出下面的“中国英语”的使用场合以及所对应的中文吗？</p>

	<p>　　060. He is an easy-going person and never puts on airs.</p>

	<p>在语速较快的时候，为了方便应用产生了失音和连读现象。在四六级听力考试部分出现出现的尤其频繁。这是四六级听力考试中难点所在。掌握好失音和连读是听懂和说一口地道美语的前提。</p>
	<p>&nbsp;学习方法：失音连读规则繁琐细致，逐条记忆会耗费大量时间。本文将各种情况归纳列表附在本篇后，只需在浏览过规则以后将列表和例句通读几遍，便能自然掌握各种失音连读情况和培养出较强的英语语感，从根本上提高语言使用能力。</p>
	<p><strong>失音：</strong><br/><br/>失音，顾名思义就是某一个或者几个音脱落，把单词短语和句子快速连缀成串。<br/><br/>单词间的失音有四种类型。</p>
	<p>类型一：前一词以“持续音＋/t/ /d/”结尾，后一词以辅音开头，则其中/t/ /d/失音<br/>其中包括：/st/+辅音 /ft/+辅音 /Ft/+辅音 /nd/+辅音 /ld/+辅音 /zd/+辅音 /Td/+辅音 /vd/+辅音 /Wt/+辅音 /md/+辅音 /Nd/+辅音 /nt/+辅音 /lt/+辅音</p>
	<p>类型二：前一词以 “破音/擦音+ /t/ /d/”结束，后一词以辅音开头，则其中/t/ /d/失音<br/>其中包括： /pt/+辅音 /kt/+辅音（如完结于skt则脱k而不是t） /tFt/+辅音 /bd/+辅音 /gd/+辅音 /dVd/+辅音 /Vd/+辅音<br/>注：后一词如始于h则/t/ /d/很少脱落</p>
	<p>类型三：动词否定结尾的缩写形式 n’t 中的/t/失音 （无论后一词以元音还是辅音开头）</p>
	<p>类型四：前一词以/t/ 结束，后一词以/t/ 或 /d/开头，则前面的/t/往往失音。</p>
	<p>另外，不完全爆破虽然没有归纳到失音类型里来，但实质上也存在不发音现象。<br/>如果前面单词结尾和后面单词开头是两个或者同一个破擦音( /p/ /b/ /t/ /d/ /k/ /g/ ) 则前一音保留口型和发音时间却并不发音。但是听者能感到这个音的存在。</p>
	<p><strong>连读：</strong><br/><br/>连贯讲话自然会出现连读现象，在中文中也同样存在，例如<a target="_blank"><u><strong>传统</strong></u></a>的北京方言。连读主要出现在意义联系较紧的词，如冠词与名词，数词和名词，动词与副词，连接词与代名词之间。语义自然停顿的地方不用连读。</p>
	<p><strong>连读类型：</strong></p>
	<p>类型一：辅音与下一个单词的元音连缀，使全句连贯。</p>
	<p>类型二：单词以元音结尾，则在元音后加上/r/音以便和下个单词起首元音连缀。<br/>据伦敦出版的第十三版Pronouncing Dictionary 记载，元音间连读情况多出现在以/E/ /iE/ /Z[/ /B:/ /E:/ /C:/结尾的词后。</p>
	<p>类型三：后单词以h开始，则前面单词结尾音直接与后面单词的元音连读, 此处h很少发音。<br/></p>]]></description></item><item><title>单词发音：这些词你读错了吗？</title><link>http://www.unityenglish.com/bbsxp/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=2&amp;ID=1773&amp;Page=1</link><author>it</author><pubDate>2009-3-4 8:53:02</pubDate><description><![CDATA[<p>大家有没有出现过下面这些情况呢？和一个英语母语人士交谈，别人却听不懂你所说的话？当终于搞懂了你说的意思，他们重复出那个词，你一定想，“那不就是我刚才所说的吗？”</p>
	<p>要知道英语中微弱的发音差别会完全改变单词的意思。使用这份最容易发错音的单词列表来避免各种可能的误解！</p>
	<p><strong>Limb / Limp:</strong> 注意这些单词的最后的字母！limb是你的手臂，腿，或者树的主干而且“b”是不发音的。但你的手臂或脚受伤时，你就limp 。“p餐”是发音的。</p>
	<p><strong>Said / Set:</strong> 一定要发清楚"d" 和 "t"这两个音。Said是 is 动词to say（说或发声）的过去时。Set是一个动词，意思是“做好准备”或“放在特定的位置”。例如I said I would set the table.</p>
	<p><strong>Zen / Then:</strong> 操练这里"z" 和"th" 的发音。Zen是宗教冥思的一种形式。Then是指“在那时”，“在那以后”，或“那样的话”。例如I went to a class about Zen, then I went home.</p>
	<p><strong>Loose / Lose:</strong>注意"s"和"z" 的音。Loose以一个轻微的 "s" 结尾，意思是‘不紧’。当你lose什么东西是指东西找不到了。重读lose中的"z"的音。例如My ring is loose, I'm afraid I'll lose it.</p>
	<p><strong>Statue / Stature:</strong> 注意单词的结尾！statue 是指一个人或动物的巨大的雕像并且尾音发"chew"。Stature值得是某人的身高或是他的权利及声誉。尾音和"chur."更接近。例如：We honor historical figures of great stature with statues.</p>
	<p><strong>Quite / Quiet / Quit:</strong>这三个单词并不象他们看起来的那么难！只要注意原音部分就好。Quite听起来象"kwite" 而且常用来强调－指“完全”，“真的”和“在某个程度上”（I'm quite alone, I'm quite sure）。Quiet（kwi-et）意思是“没有杂音” －象在图书馆。Quit（kwit）意思是“停止”“放弃”或者“离开”。例如 I quit playing loud music and now it's quite quiet.<br/></p>]]></description></item><item><title>口语贴士：练口语完全可以不靠别人</title><link>http://www.unityenglish.com/bbsxp/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=2&amp;ID=1769&amp;Page=1</link><author>it</author><pubDate>2009-3-2 11:05:09</pubDate><description><![CDATA[出场人物：张耘北京外国语大学英语学院教授，北京比较<a  href="javascript:;" target="_self"><u><strong>文学</strong></u></a>研究会副会长。已在北外任教40余年，主要研究领域是美国戏剧及现代西方戏剧。自70年代到90年代多次主持中央人民广播电台英语教学节目，制作英语教学电视节目，并主持《新起点英语》中级英语电视教学节目，参加编写《朗文英汉词典》、《外国名作家大词典》等。<br/>&nbsp;<br/>对于很多学习英语的成年人，说英语是一个难关。常常有人问我怎样才能练好口语，他们抱怨张不开口，说不出话，心里很着急。在这里我想就如何提高<a  href="javascript:;" target="_self"><u><strong>英语口语</strong></u></a>谈谈自己的认识和体会。<br/>&nbsp;<br/>首先谈谈提高口语的几个步骤。这几步要一步一个脚印地走：第一步是出声朗读口语课文、精读课文或其他容易上口的读物。每天抽一点时间放声朗读，使自己听得见自己的声音，渐渐做到流利、顺畅。这样不仅使自己对语言熟悉起来而且也会使自己对有声的语言产生一种实实在在的感受。<br/>&nbsp;<br/>第二步是在朗读的基础上选择容易上口而且有较强实用性的课文或段落进行背诵，也要求出声背，要朗读很多遍、重复很多次才能背下来，这便是一个有声地学习和记忆的过程，背熟了的东西不会轻易忘记，它们已经逐渐成了你自己掌握的语言。<br/>&nbsp;<br/>第三步是在背诵的基础上对一篇课文、一个故事或一段对话的内容用自己的话复述出来，用自己掌握的<a  href="javascript:;" target="_self"><u><strong>词汇</strong></u></a>和语法把一段事讲清楚，这时已背熟的东西往往会自动跳出来帮你讲故事。到了这个阶段你不仅能把已经扎扎实实学过的语言讲出来，有时甚至可以脱口而出；这会使你学习英语的信心倍增，同时你也尝到了学习的甜头，增加了兴趣，这种感觉是美妙的。经过这几步艰苦的过程，你的口语能力便提高了，如果持之以恒，效果会十分明显。<br/>&nbsp;<br/>其次，练习口语也要强调自力更生。人们往往认为练口语得靠别人，其实不然。大家一定有过这样的体会，两个人作对话练习半天说不出几句，去英语角也开不了口。其原因除了胆怯之外，主要还是自己的功夫不到家。<br/>&nbsp;<br/>首先要按前面三个步骤做，其次要提倡自言自语，自问自答。在学习的各个阶段都可以这样做。例如学习了What's this?之后便可以把能够用的名词都拿来练；在学习了现在进行时之后便可以自问自答"What are you doing?" "I'm speaking English." 而且把学过的合适的动词都一一练习多遍；在学了过去时之后便可以把昨天、上周、去年的各种事讲一遍。水平进一步提高的时候还可以边看电视（电影）边用最简单的词汇作陈述，这便是最初的“口译”了。能说多少说多少，或看完之后用自己的话把故事讲一讲。<br/>&nbsp;<br/>这种练习很灵活，很可靠，有几分钟便可以练几句，上下班路上可以练，茶余饭后可以练，等公共汽车也可以练，只要你坚持几周之后便有成效，这时你再找人练对话便不发憷了，甚至可以主动发挥了。你学习英语的路子也愈走愈宽了，如果能坚持下去，你的英语便一定能讲好<br/><a href="http://www.en8848.com.cn/batch.download.php?aid=4079" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.en8848.com.cn/attachments/2009/02/63004_2009022711570519m5y.thumb.jpg" onload="imgresize(this);"/></a><br/>1]]></description></item><item><title>4个学习贴士：单词永记不忘</title><link>http://www.unityenglish.com/bbsxp/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=2&amp;ID=1764&amp;Page=1</link><author>it</author><pubDate>2009-2-27 9:11:16</pubDate><description><![CDATA[<p>四六级、研究生入学、<a target="_blank"><u><strong>托福</strong></u></a>、<a target="_blank"><u><strong>雅思</strong></u></a>、<a target="_blank"><u><strong>商务英语</strong></u></a>......明目繁多的<a target="_blank"><u><strong>英语考试</strong></u></a>，五花八门的<a target="_blank"><u><strong>词汇</strong></u></a>大纲，没有过目不忘的本事，却有永记在心的能耐。你行吗？北外文秋芳教授马上传授你“单词永记不忘”的不二法门。<br/>&nbsp;<br/>How can we avoid forgetting what we have learned? Now I would like to give you four suggestions. Then I'll give you a bit explanation on each of them.</p>
	<p><strong>Suggestions</strong></p>
	<p>First, we need to learn words repeatedly with increasing intervals between learning sessions. Here, the most important term “increasing” intervals, 就是说这个间隔的时间要恰当。I will explain it later. （按照适当的时间间隔来温习新学的单词。）</p>
	<p>The second we should have the words. We have the words we want to learn with us whenever we go. So if we want to learn these words, we should have these words with us. So we can make full use of our time learning these words. （时时刻刻，利用边边角角的时间去复习生词。）</p>
	<p>The third is set aside a regular time for vocabulary learning. （留出专门的时间用于单词学习。）</p>
	<p>The last one, spend more time on the words you find difficult. All these suggestions are not new to you, I guess. But you might find something new later. （对疑难词汇进行重点攻关。）</p>
	<p><strong>Suggestion One</strong><br/><br/>Ok. The first one. Increasing intervals. Now research in psychology shows that we do not forget things gradually. You see a psychologist did research. Most of our forgetting occurs within 20 minutes after we have first learned something. More is forgotten with one hour. Still more within 8 hours. After 8 hours, the rate of forgetting stays surprisingly steady. You see, we do not forget things gradually, bit by bit. Bit by bit. It’s not the case. So we forget more in the first 8 hours. （心理学研究者做过一个测试：我们最易遗忘的时间段是我们接触新知识后的头20分钟。之后的1个小时我们又会忘记一些，然后8小时内又忘记一些。过了8小时，我们的遗忘速度就会趋于稳定。也就是说，遗忘是一点一点发生的，前8个小时忘得最快。）<br/>&nbsp;<br/>So what should we do? What should we do? And actually, I will suggest you should do revision everyday when you first learn the new words. And then you may spend some time review the words once in a week. Then later on, once in a month. So increasing intervals, I mean you learn frequently at the very beginning. Then gradually, you can delay a little bit. The interval is longer and longer. But still you have to review them. Now this is the first suggestion. Increasing intervals. （针对这种遗忘规律，文教授提议：接触新单词之后，起初反复记忆，然后逐步拉长复习的时间间隔。）</p>
	<p><strong>Suggestion Two</strong><br/><br/>The second suggestion is make full use of “dead” time. Dead. Why I use the word in the quotation marks? The “dead” time. Now when I say “dead” time, I mean those time is not useful any more. You know, when you are walking on the way, when you are in a bus, when you are, let me see, when you are lying on the bed before you sleep. All these time can’t be used for very important things. But you can make full use of “dead” time to learn some words. And you can use your vocabulary notebook, you can use your electronic dictionary, just very small, learn few words every day. Every day. Try to use this kind of time learning words, eventually your vocabulary will be expanding quickly. （利用一切可以利用的时间。行走中，公车上，睡觉前......这些相对来说不能做重要事情的时间段，你就可以分心用来背单词。一天记几个，积少成多，你就会发现自己的单词量突飞猛进。）<br/>&nbsp;<br/>You do not need whole day learning vocabulary. Don’t do in this way. And you may use just small amount of time every day. Let’s say, in the morning, 20 minutes, in the afternoon, 20 minutes, in the evening, 20 minutes. Suppose you want to spend one hour, you’d better separate it into three sessions, 20 minutes each. Suppose you want to learn vocabulary half an hour a day, maybe you’d better divide them into two sections, 15 minutes a section. Don’t put them together. （不要成天成宿地背单词，花费大段大段的时间记单词会降低学习效率。如果你每天计划利用1个小时背单词，那么就把这1个小时拆分成早、中、晚三部分，每次安排20分钟背单词。）<br/>&nbsp;<br/>And then every day you learn a little bit. Then eventually, at the end of the week, you have spent about half an hour putting all these words together, go over them. Later I will mention, don’t go over all the words. You have to select some of them to focus your attention. Now electronic dictionary also is a good way to learn words, because there is a sort of file for you to put those difficult words, right? Just put in your pocket. You can learn them anytime you can do it. （一天记一点，周末抽出半小时有侧重点地巩固一周的学习成果。可以利用电子辞典的归档功能筛选出疑难词汇，然后放在身边随时翻阅。）<br/>&nbsp;<br/><strong>Suggestion Three</strong><br/><br/>And suggestion 3. And my suggestion is daily revision. Ten minutes a day. Weekly revision. One hour a week. Monthly revision. One hour a month. So that intervals, the first is a week, the next is a month. （除了学习新单词，还要注意复习这些单词。一天十分钟，一周一小时，一个月一小时——以这种频率不断温习这些单词，必能收到良好的效果。）</p>
	<p><strong>Suggestion Four</strong><br/><br/>And the final suggestion is to spend more time on the words you find difficult. I found some students would like to go down a list from the first to the last, trying to memorize each one. You’ve got a vocabulary list. From first to the end. From the first to the end. Every day, they follow the same pattern. （重点记忆自己认为比较难的单词。不要年复一年地拿着词汇大纲从头看到尾。）<br/>&nbsp;<br/>Now there are two problems for this kind of practice. The words at the top of the list tend to be remembered better. Then the words further down. Right? Time is wasted on the words that have been learned. What can be done? I’ll give you an example. This example is given by a researcher. （不要把复习单词的时间浪费在已经记住的单词上面。）<br/>&nbsp;<br/>Now I give you the footnote there. Suppose you have got these new words in one text: rewarding, frustrating, junior, positive, senior, opportunity, online, technology, participate, virtual, virtual classroom. Ok. You’ve got so many words. Suppose all these words you are asked to learn. And you remember them at the end of the day. Let’s say. In the evening, you remember them. And tomorrow you go over them again. You found you forgot many of them. You only remember few of them. （举例来说，粗体部分是你要学习的新单词。头天你学习完毕，第二天复习的时候你发现只记住了其中的几个，却忘记了大多数。）<br/>&nbsp;<br/>So what should you do tomorrow? Should you go over them from the beginning to the end again? No. So this is the suggestion. If you, suppose you remember these words, junior, positive, senior, online, virtual, if you remember these words, put these words in another column. And then you only focus on, next day, you only focus your attention on the remaining five words. Don’t go over ten words again. Focus on five words. Ok. （那么，你不必再复习已经掌握的部分【比如说粗体标出的单词】，你只需复习你没有记住的另5个单词。）<br/>&nbsp;<br/>So you classify these words into three types. If you are familiar with them, you review them once. And then you review them once in a week. If you review them once in a week, no problem at all. You put them in a monthly column. So you review them once for a month. （你可以做一张三列的表，三列的标题分别为：daily， weekly 和monthly。起初，所有的单词都放在daily这列，第二天复习的时候，记住的单词就可以挪到weekly这列，如果周复习的时候你仍然记得它们，就可以将之挪到monthly这列。）<br/>&nbsp;<br/>But for those words, if you can not remember daily, you have to review them again and again. But the words become fewer and fewer. Not so many. So you can focus your attention on those things which are very difficult for you. This work makes learning more efficient. （如果放在daily栏中的单词始终记不住，那么就让它们始终呆在daily栏中，天天强化记忆。坚持使用这种方法，你会始终关注你最需要关注的单词，提高效率不说，你也会发现daily栏中的单词最终全部挪到monthly栏中，并永远刻在你的脑海中，一辈子无法遗忘。）</p>]]></description></item><item><title>VOA词汇掌故：Have a Heart</title><link>http://www.unityenglish.com/bbsxp/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=2&amp;ID=1754&amp;Page=1</link><author>it</author><pubDate>2009-2-16 8:55:24</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Now, the <a target="_blank"><u><strong>VOA</strong></u></a> Special English program, WORDS AND THEIR STORIES. I'm Rich Kleinfeldt with some expressions using the word heart. 
<p>People believed for a long time that the heart was the center of a person's emotions. That is why the word heart is used in so many expressions about emotional situations.</p>
	<p>One such expression is to "lose your heart" to someone. When that happens, you have fallen in love. But if the person who "won your heart" does not love you, then you are sure to have a "broken heart." In your pain and sadness, you may decide that the person you loved is "hard-hearted," and in fact, has a "heart of stone."</p>
	<p>You may decide to "pour out your heart" to a friend. Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better.</p>
	<p>If your friend does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is, you may ask her to "have a heart." You are asking your friend to show some sympathy for your situation. Your friend "has her heart in the right place" if she says she is sorry, and shows great concern for how you feel.</p>
	<p>Your friend may, however, warn you "not to wear your heart on your sleeve." In other words, do not let everyone see how lovesick you are.&nbsp; When your heart is on your sleeve you are showing your deepest emotions.</p>
	<p>If your friend says, "my heart bleeds for you," she means the opposite. She is a cold-hearted person who does not really care about your situation.</p>
	<p>In the ever-popular motion picture, The Wizard of Oz, the Tin Man seeks a heart. He wanted to feel the emotion of love, and was seeking help from the powerful Wizard of Oz to find a heart.</p>
	<p>The cowardly lion, in the same movie, did have a heart. But he lacked courage and wanted to ask the Wizard of Oz to give him some. You could say that the cowardly lion was "chicken-hearted." That is another way of describing someone who is not very brave. A chicken is not noted for its bravery. Thus, someone who is chicken-hearted does not have much courage.</p>
	<p>When you are frightened or concerned, your "heart is in your mouth." You might say, for example, that your heart was in your mouth when you asked a bank to lend you some money to pay for a new house.</p>
	<p>If that bank says no to you, do not "lose heart."&nbsp; Be "strong-hearted." Sit down with the banker and have a "heart to heart" talk. Be open and honest about your situation. The bank may have a "change of heart." It may agree to lend you the money. Then you could stop worrying and "put your heart at rest."</p>

If you want to change for a double room you’ll have to play ______ $15. <br/><br/>A. another B. Other C. more D. each<br/><br/>由上下文if you want to change for a double room可推知，必须另外再加钱，故用another，“再加15美元”，即another 15 dollars. 故正确答案为A。而C项应为$15 more.<br/><br/>2. ----He promised to come to see you.<br/><br/>€€----But he ____ I’ve been alone.<br/><br/>A. doesn’t B. didn’t C. won’t D. hasn’t<br/><br/>该题是在语境中考查动词的时态，很容易因为前文中“He promised”而误选B项。事实上，应注意“I have been alone.”是分析空格处时态的重要依据。“他不仅过去没有来，而且现在仍然没有来。”故正确答案为D。<br/><br/>3. ----It’s getting late. I’m afraid I must be going now.<br/><br/>€€----OK. _____.<br/><br/>A. Take it easy B. Go slowly C. Stay longer D. See you<br/><br/>考生容易受中文思维的影响而误选B. 实际上，根据英文习惯表达应选D. A C项不符合语境，see you是很常见的口头语，意思为“再见”，相当于Goodbye / See you soon / See you later.<br/><br/>二、假设法<br/><br/>如果对单项选择题的选项感到困惑，而又难以突破时，我们可以换一个角度，从“假设某项成立”出发，结合题意，进行分析推理，从而打开解题思路，变难为易。<br/><br/>4. It was 3 o’clock _____ they arrived at the station.<br/><br/>A. that B. when C. after D. before<br/><br/>该题正确答案为B. 但很多学生认为这是强调句而选A. 现在假设A选项成立，即：It was 3 o’clock that they arrived at the station. 根据强调句的验证方法，去掉it was…that… 即变为：3 o’clock they arrived at the station. 这显然是错的。因为3 o’clock前缺少介词at 故假设不成立。it在此不属于强调结构，而是指代时间的无人称代词。而选B则是由when引导的时间状语从句。意思为“当他们到达车站时，时间是3点钟。”<br/><br/>5. Is this the factory ____ you visited the other day?<br/><br/>A. the one B. that C. where D. why<br/><br/>对于此题，有些学生选C. 理由是这个定语从句的先行词表示地点。现在假设C是正确的，即Is this the factory where you visited the other day?而在定语从句中的谓语动词visited为及物动词，一定要带宾语，但where是副词，不可能充当宾语，所以假设不成立。由此分析，而得出正确答案应为B.<br/><br/>6. _____ he really means is that he disagrees with us.<br/><br/>A. What B. That C. Why D. If<br/><br/>对于此题，考生不知选A还是选B. 其实答案为A. 现在假设B是正确的，即That he really means is that he disagrees with us. 这样That he really means为一个主语从句，mean为及物动词，缺少宾语，因为that只是起到连接作用，而不能充当宾语，所以假设不成立。<br/><br/>当解题感到困惑时，可以假设某选项为正确答案，将此答案填入句中，对全句结构进行分析。这对解题可以起到良好的启迪和导向作用。<br/><br/>三、突破思维定势法<br/><br/>思维定势是学习过程中形成的一种习惯性的思维倾向。它在语言学习过程中可以起到积极的作用；但也会误导学生不仔细分析问题，生搬硬套地去答题。因此，命题者会有意地利用学生的思维定势，造成学生解题的失误。这样，学生就应当灵活运用所学知识去分析解决问题。<br/><br/>7. ----Is _____ here?<br/><br/>€€----No Bob and Tim have asked for leave.<br/><br/>A. anyone B. somebody C. everyone D. nobody<br/><br/>学生根据语法规则，一看到疑问句便会选择A项，并认为这太简单了。但由下文的信息：“不，Bob和Tim请假了。”便知，这实际上是课堂上或其他一些场合经常用到的交际用语，意思是：“大家到齐了吗？”。故答案为C. 必须注意，语法规则必须融入到语言情景之中，使其达到交际的目的，决不能孤立地使用。<br/><br/>此类考题是考查学生在特定语境中准确运用语法知识的能力。考题中语境的设置较为自然、巧妙，要求考生选择的不只是正确答案，而是最佳答案。因此，考生答题时，一定要准确把握语境，通盘考虑，分析语法成分，从而选取正确答案。<br/><br/>8. The home improvements have taken what little there is _____ my spare time.<br/><br/>A. from B. in C. of D. at<br/><br/>许多考生受“in one’s spare time”固定搭配的影响，在没有分析句子结构的前提下而错选B. 事实上，后面的从句可以还原为：What little of my spare time there is. 从句中的little是名词，意思是“the small amount ”，常与“of”搭配。题干句意为：“改善家庭居住条件占去了我仅有的一点业余时间。”经过这样化繁为简，我们就很容易看清原句的结构，从而选择正确答案C.<br/><br/>此类填空题在题干的设计上把词汇、习惯用语放在一个特定的语言环境中来考查，从而加大了考查语言运用能力的难度。因此，答题时不要孤立地看某一短语，要通过上下文所给的信息进行分析，弄清整个句子结构，推断某一习惯用法、固定短语在具体语境中的运用。<br/><br/>9. If anybody calls tell them I’m out and ask them to _____ their name and address.<br/><br/>A. pass B. write C. take D. leave<br/><br/>考生容易受母语“写下姓名和地址”这一习惯表达方式的影响而错选B. 但该题考查具体语境中动词的辨析。该句的意思是：“如果有人打电话，告诉他我出去了，请他留下姓名和地址。”所以B. leave“留下”才是正确答案。<br/><br/>对于此类考题，学生容易受母语的影响而错选答案。虽然汉语和英语之间有许多相同之处，但也存在不少差异。因此，考生答题时必须弄清两者之间的区别，分辨语境，消除母语负迁移带来的影响。<br/><br/>四、推测法<br/><br/>考生对于少数难题、迷惑题而望而生畏。但考生可根据题干特定信息，句子结构，语法进行有理有据的合理推测，排除掉错误答案，从而找出正确的答案。<br/><br/>10. Peter _____ come with us tonight but he isn’t very sure yet.<br/><br/>A. must B. can C. may D. will<br/><br/>题干中的信息有“……但他还不十分肯定。”由此推测他不是“必须来”，不是“将会来”，也不是“能够来”，而是“可能来”，因而C为正确答案。<br/><br/>11. _____ from Beijing to London!<br/><br/>A. How long way it is B. What a long way is it<br/><br/>C. How long way is it D. What a long way it is <br/><br/>way是可数名词，首先排除A、C. 此句不是问句，根据句子结构要求，要用陈述句的语序，因此，正确答案为D.<br/><br/>12. If there were no examinations we should have a _____ school.<br/><br/>A. the happiest time B. a more happier time<br/><br/>C. much happiest time D. a much happier time<br/><br/>B、C的形式明显有错，首先排除，重点考虑A、D，此句没有三者以上的范围，仅是“有考试”与“没有考试”两种情况的对照，所以D为正确答案。<br/><br/>当使用推测法对某个选项的意义用法不明确时，而这个选项又恰恰是正确答案，可以将错误选项逐个剔除，确定剩余的一个为正确答案。<br/><br/>五、还原法<br/><br/>在解答那些题干为感叹句，倒装句，强调句等打乱了正常语序的单项选择题时，考生可以将其还原为正常语序后的简单句，陈述句再作选择的方法。这类题题干复杂，多元化，容易干扰考生的思路。因此做这类题时，采用还原法打破考生的定向思维，突破考点，培养学生的创造性思维，逆向思维，以便考生在解题过程中，保持清醒的头脑，挖掘出题目的核心，考点，快速找到正确答案。<br/><br/>13. What a lovely day _____?<br/><br/>A. is it B. isn’t it C. is he D. isn’t he<br/><br/>对于反意疑问句的构成，考生再熟悉不过了。但对于这种特殊的反意疑问句，考生可能就无从下手了，甚至连正确答案给出来了也看不明白。如果我们采用还原法，将题干What a lovely day!这个感叹句还原成陈述句：It’s a lovely day. 这样，再将此句变成反意疑问句，考生便会恍然大悟，从而得出答案B.<br/><br/>14. Whom would you rather have _____ with you?<br/><br/>A. to go B. go C. gone D. going<br/><br/>考生由于受语法规则的影响，have后应接to go或gone 这样容易误选A或C. 如果我们将此题改为陈述句，即为：You would rather have whom _____ with you. 这样我们一眼就可以看出答案为B. 本题的考点是使役动词have的宾语补足语用动词原形表示将来。<br/><br/>15. It was _____ computer games that cost the boy a lot of time he ought to have spent on his lessons.<br/><br/>A. to have played B. playing C. played D. having played<br/><br/>此题题干我们判断是否为强调句，采用还原法，即去掉题干中的it is (was) …that (who) …如果句子仍然成立，能够表达完整的意思，则是强调句；否则，则不是强调句型。去掉it was … that后，变为_____computer games cost the boy a lot of time he ought to have spent on his lessons.很容易看出本题应为-ing形式短语作主语，但不必用完成式。正确答案为B.<br/><br/>六、省略法<br/><br/>高考例题者常常利用熟悉的句型结构，在其中插入一些词、短语搭配、插入语和定语从句来制造“陷阱”，增加创新力度，产生迷惑性，似是而非，从而让考生在非常神气的心情中快速地得出错误的答案导致失分。这就要求考生对整个语言环境进入深入分析，在较高的能力水平上，细心而自如地运用一个或几个知识点来解题。这样，我们在分析句子结构的基础上采用省略法，省掉插入成分的前提下，简化句子结构，从而找出正确答案。<br/><br/>16. He has spent I think a lot ______ time in reading than she has.<br/><br/>A. of B. more C. much more D. of much more<br/><br/>此题易错选A、C. 选A形成a lot of搭配；选C形成much more time much修饰比较级。但我们通过分析题干，去掉插入语I think，该句可简化为：He has spent a lot _____ time in reading than she has. a lot相当于 much起修饰作用，而不必再用much，从而得出正确答案为B.<br/><br/>17. Dorothy was always speaking highly of her role in the play _____ of course made the others unhappy.<br/><br/>A. who B. which C. this D. what<br/><br/>通过分析题干，可以得知of course为插入语，将其去掉，该句简化为：Dorothy was always speaking highly of her role in the play _____made the others unhappy. 这样，考生就很容易看出应用which代表整个主句内容，构成非限制性定语从句，正确答案为B.<br/><br/>18. With everything she needed ______ she went home.<br/><br/>A. washed B. being washed C. washing D. wash<br/><br/>考生初看此题，可能不知所措。我们通过分析题干得知，she needed是一个定语从句，关系代词that省略了，去掉从句，该句简化为：With everything _____ she went home. with everything _____为“with复合结构”，句意为：“把所有需要的东西洗完之后，她回家去了。”故正确答案为A.<br/><br/>七、补全法<br/><br/>与省略法相反的是，在一些单项填空题中，句子省略了某些成分的特殊结构较大地增加了试题的难度，我们可运用分析句子结构的方法，补全句子，破解难点，寻求正确答案。<br/><br/>19. Though ______ money his parents managed to send him to university.<br/><br/>A. lacked B. lacking of C. lacking D. lacked in<br/><br/>对于此题，我们可以采用补全句子的方法寻找正确答案。将句子补全为：Though they lacked money his parents managed to send him to university. 这样，题干中they被省略了，lack与they呈主动关系，所以用现在分词形式，故正确答案为C.<br/><br/>在某些复合句中，从属连词when if once though as soon as while等引导的从句，从句的主语与主句的主语相同，常将从句的主语和谓语be动词省略，或省略主语，谓语动词采用分词形式。<br/><br/>20. Boris has brains. In fact I doubt whether anyone in the class has ______ IQ.<br/><br/>A. a high B. a higher C. the higher D. the highest<br/><br/>通过分析句子结构，该题省略了than he does. 将其补全应为：Boris has brains. In fact I doubt whether anyone in the class has ______ IQ than he does. 所以应用比较级，并且此处的比较级表达最高级的含义，从而得出正确答案为B.<br/><br/>21. ----What made her mother so angry?<br/><br/>---- ______ the exam.<br/><br/>A. Because she didn’t pass B. Her not passing<br/><br/>C. She didn’t D. Because her not passing<br/><br/>通过分析句子结构，将答语部分补全为：_____ the exam made her mother so angry. 可以看出少了一个主语，而能用作主语的是答案B. 这个选项是一个动名词的复合结构。<br/><br/>八、时态背景分析法<br/><br/>时态是高考的重要内容之一，而在考题中往往不给出具体的时间，从而增加解题难度。而历年高考对动词时态的考查偏重于过去进行时，现在/ 过去完成时，一般将来时或“特殊”过去时。这就要求考生认真分析动作所发生的时间，想象在那个特定时间动作所发生的背景，结合题意，选择正确时态。<br/><br/>22. My mind wasn't on what he was saying so I'm afraid I ______ half of it. <br/><br/>A. was missing B. had missed C. will miss D. missed<br/><br/>此题没有确切的时间，但我们可根据前一分句的时态去分析，前句用过去时，so在这里连接的是并列句，I’m afraid为插入语，所以后面也用一般过去时，保持时态的一致性。故正确答案为D。可能有的考生受中文思维的影响，认为脑袋里想着“已经错过”，发生在“正在说什么”之前而误选B。其实，这里并没有体现出“过去的过去”的背景，前后两个分句的动作应是同时发生的。<br/><br/>23. The reporter said that the UFO ____ east to west when he saw it.(NMET2000) <br/><br/>A. was travelling B. travelled C. had been travelling €€D. was to travel <br/><br/>由when引导的时间状语从句体现过去的特定时间点，即：当记者看见飞碟的时候，飞碟正在自东向西飞行。也就是说，记者看到飞碟的那一刻，它正在飞行。故正确答案为A。<br/><br/>24. The price ____ but I doubt whether it will remain so.(NMET'99) <br/><br/>A. went down B. will go down C. has gone down D. was going down <br/><br/>根据后一分句doubt时态可知，时间参照点为现在，表示到现在为止价格已下降。故正确答案为C。如果将后一分句改为：but I doubted whether it would remain so. 则正确答案为had gone down. 因为下降这一动作发生在doubt怀疑之前，即“过去的过去”。<br/><br/>考生在解答此类试题时，应认真分析动作时态背景，而分析动作时态背景时，考生应细心寻找特定时间状语、时间参照点和特殊语境，并以此为突破口，进行认真的分析，从而巧妙解出对应的时态。<br/><br/>九、固定搭配法<br/><br/>英语句子中词语和词语之间有一定的“固定搭配”。主要包括短语介词，短语动词，冠词在固定搭配中的用法等。因此，如果我们熟悉这些固定搭配，就会很容易地选择正确答案。<br/><br/>25. For a long time they walked without saying ______ word. Jim was<br/><br/>the first to break_____ silence<br/><br/>A. the; a B. a; the; C. a;不填 D. the;不填<br/><br/>该题看似考查冠词，实际上是考查冠词在固定搭配中的用法。这里say a word表示“说话”；break the silence表示“打破沉默”。故正确答案为B.<br/><br/>26. Everyone in the town knew him so we had no difficulty _____ his house.<br/><br/>A. find B. found C. finding D. to find<br/><br/>根据固定搭配动词短语have difficulty in doing sth. 其中in可以省略。故正确答案为C.<br/><br/>27. He joined us ______ a new way of increasing production.<br/><br/>A. in search of B. in search for <br/><br/>C. in the search of D. in searching of<br/><br/>此题考查介词短语的用法。与此相关的正确短语有：in search of in one’s search for in the search for. 故正确答案为A.<br/><br/>十、相似结构辨析法<br/><br/>命题者常把语法结构相似的句型放在同一语境中，用来考查考生对基础知识掌握的牢固程度。这就要求考生找出要考查的知识要点，并加以比较和辨析，认清它们之间的区别，从而找出正确答案。<br/><br/>28. The number of people invited _____ fifty but a number of them _____ absent for different reasons.<br/><br/>A. were; was B. was; was C. was; were D. were; were<br/><br/>本题考查两个相似的短语结构：a number of 和the number of. The number of people在句中作主语，指被邀请的人的数量，后面的谓语应用单数形式；a number of them意思是many of them. 后面的谓语动词用复数形式。故正确答案为C.<br/><br/>29. ----The light in the office is still on.<br/><br/>----Oh I forgot ______.<br/><br/>A. turning it off B. turn it off <br/><br/>C. to turn it off D. having turned it off<br/><br/>该题考查的是：forget to do sth. 和forget doing sth. 在用法上的区别。前者意思是“忘记了要做某事”，而后者则是“忘记曾经做过某事”。根据句中提供的情景“办公室还亮着灯”，可判断出正确答案为C.<br/><br/>30. _____ many times he still couldn’t understand it.<br/><br/>A. Having been told B. Though he had told <br/><br/>C. He had been told D. Having told him<br/><br/>根据语境，选项应用被动语态形式，即只能从A、C中选取正确答案。可能有的考生认为A、C都可以，选C更为正确。其实，通过分析题干，句中缺少连词，因为在英语中，两个单句之间若是逗号，必须要有一个连词；否则，要用分号或用不能单独使用的句法成份。根据题意，having been told作状语。故正确答案为A. 若要选C，则可将题干改为：_____ many times but he still couldn’t understand it.<br/><br/>总之，在答题时，我们既要注意将语法、语境和语言文化背景相结合，€€€€又要注意从多方面提高€€解题技巧，最终提高分析问题和解决问题的能力。 ]]></description></item><item><title>说说of 与 from</title><link>http://www.unityenglish.com/bbsxp/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=2&amp;ID=1736&amp;Page=1</link><author>admin</author><pubDate>2009-2-1 9:01:45</pubDate><description><![CDATA[<div id="enText" style="DISPLAY: block">说说of 与 from<br/><br/><br/>一. 介系词of, from 与be made连用,皆可表示,of用以说明质料,多接wood等物质名词;from用以说明所指质料从外观上已看不出原来样子。<br/>The table is made of marble. <br/>这桌子是大理石做的。<br/><br/>That is butter.

<p>解析：<br/>　 第一句： and 连接两个并列的谓语，所以 talk 应改为 talked。<br/>　 第二句：and 连接两个并列的动词不定式，第二个不定式往往省略to，因此sang 应改为 sing。<br/>　 第三句：and 连接感观动词saw 后面的用作的宾补的两个并列分词结构，因此whisper应改为whispering。<br/>注意：and 还可以和祈使句或名词词组连用表示条件。（or也有此用法）</p>
	<p>　　 Make up your mind, and you'll get the chance.<br/>　 = If you make up your mind, you'll get the chance.<br/>　　 One more effort, and you'll succeed.<br/>　 = If you make one more effort, you'll succeed.</p>
	<p>2)　both …and　两者都<br/>　She plays (both) the piano and the guitar.</p>
	<p>3)　not only…but (also), as well as不但…而且）<br/>　　　She plays not only the piano, but (also) the guitar.</p>
	<p>　 注意： not only… but also 关联两个分句时，一个分句因有否定词not 而必须倒装。<br/>　　 Not only does he like reading stories, but also he can even write some.</p>
	<p>　4)　neithe…nor 意思为"既不……也不……"谓语动词采用就近原则，与nor后的词保持一致。<br/>　　　Neither you nor he is to blame.<br/>&nbsp;<br/><strong>20.2 比较and和or</strong>&nbsp;<br/>&nbsp;<br/>　1) 并列结构中，or通常用于否定句，and用于肯定句。</p>
	<p>　2) 但有时and 也可用于否定句。请注意其不同特点：<br/>　　 There is no air or water in the moon.<br/>　　 There is no air and no water on the moon.<br/>　在否定中并列结构用or 连接，但含有两个否定词的句子实际被看作是肯定结构，因此要用and。</p>
	<p>典型例题<br/>　---I don't like chicken ___ fish.　<br/>　---I don't like chicken, ___ I like fish very much.<br/>　A. and； and　 B. and； but　C. or； but　D. or；and<br/>　答案C。否定句中表并列用or, but 表转折。</p>
	<p>判断改错：<br/>　　(错) We will die without air and water.<br/>　　(错) We can't live without air or water.<br/>　　(对) We will die without air or water.<br/>　　(对) We can't live without air and water.<br/>　<br/><strong>20.3 表示选择的并列结构</strong>&nbsp;<br/>&nbsp;<br/>　1) or　意思为"否则"。<br/>　　 I must work hard, or I'll fail in the exam.</p>
	<p>　2) either…or　意思为"或者……或者……"。注意谓语动词采用就近原则。<br/>　　 Either you or I am

We were like young kids buying our camper and stocking it with all the necessities of life. Bella bakes the best rhubarb pie. We started out in early spring from Minneapolis and headed west across the northern part of the country. We both enjoyed those people we met at the trailer park. Joe received a watch at his retirement dinner. To our surprise, we found that we liked the warm southern regions very much, and so we decided to stay here in New Mexico. <br/><br/>　　本段的主题句是段首句，controlling idea（中心思想）是take the long trip across the country。文中出现两个irrelevant sentences，一个是Bella bakes the best rhubarb pie，这一段是讲的是Joe and I ，中间出现一个Bella是不合适的。还有，Joe received a watch at his retirement dinner这一句更是与主题句不相关。考生在四级统考的作文卷上常常因为造出irrelevant sentences（不相关语句）而丢分，值得引起注意。再看一个例子： <br/><br/>　　My name is Roseanna, and I like to keep physically fit. I used to weigh two hundred pounds, but I joined the YMCA for an exercise class and diet program. In one year I lost eighty pounds. I feel much better and never want to have that much weight on my five-feet frame again. I bought two new suitcases last week. Everyday I practice jogging three miles, swimming fifteen laps, lifting twenty-pound weights and playing tennis for one hour. My mother was a premature baby. <br/><br/>　　本段的controlling idea 是like to deep physically fit，但段中有两个irrelevant sentences，一个是I bought two new suitcases last week，另一个是My mother was a premature baby。 <br/><br/>　　从上面两个例子可以看出，native speakers同样会造出来irrelevant sentences。卷面上如果这种句子多了，造成偏题或离题，那问题就更严重了。 <br/><br/>　　2、完整性 <br/><br/>　　正象我们前面说得那样，一个段落的主题思想靠推展句来实现，如果只有主题句而没有推展句来进一步交待和充实，就不能构成一个完整的段落。同样，虽然有推展句，但主题思想没有得到相对圆满的交待，给读者一种意犹未尽的感觉。这样的段落也不能完成其交际功能。例如： <br/><br/>　　Physical work can be a useful form of therapy for a mind in turmoil. Work concentrates your thoughts on a concrete task. Besides, it is more useful to work ---- you produce something rather than more anxiety or depression. <br/><br/>　　本段的主题句是段首句。本段的两个推展句均不能回答主题句中提出的问题。什么是“a mind in turmoil”（心境不平静）Physical work又如何能改变这种情况？为什么它能起therapy的作用？读者得不到明确的答案。由于四级统考的作文部分只要求写一篇100～120个词的三段式短文，每一段只有大约40个词左右，因此，要达到完整就必须尽可能地简明。例如： <br/><br/>　　It is not always true that a good picture is worth a thousand words. Often writing is much clearer than a picture. It is sometimes difficult to figure out what a picture means, but a careful writer can almost always explain it. <br/><br/>　　段首句所表达的主题思想是一种看法，必须有具体事例加以验证。上述两个推展句只是在文字上对主题作些解释，整个段落内容空洞，简而不明。如果用一两个具体的例子的话，就可以把主题解释清楚了。比如下段： <br/><br/>　　It is not always true that a picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes, pictures are pretty useless things. If you can’t swim and fall in the river and start gulping water, will you be better off to hold up a picture of yourself drowning, or start screaming "Help"? <br/><br/>　　3、连贯性（coherence） <br/><br/>连贯性包括意连和形连两个方面，前者指的是内在的逻辑性，后者指的是使用转换词语。当然这两者常常是不可分割的。只有形连而没有意连，句子之间就没有内在的有机的联系；反之，只有意连而没有形连，有时行文就不够流畅。 <br/><br/>　　1）、意连 <br/><br/>　　段落中句子的排列应遵循一定的次序，不能想到什么就写什么。如果在下笔之前没有构思，边写边想，写写停停，那就写不出一气呵成的好文章来。下面介绍几种常见的排列方式。 <br/><br/>　　A．按时间先后排列（chronological arrangement） <br/><br/>　　We had a number of close calls that day. When we rose, it was obviously late and we had to hurry so as not to miss breakfast; we knew the dining room staff was strict about closing at nine o’clock. Then, when we had been driving in the desert for nearly two hours ----- it must have been close to noon ---- the heat nearly hid us in; the radiator boiled over and we had to use most of our drinking water to cool it down. By the time we reached the mountain, it was our o’clock and we were exhausted. Here, judgement ran out of us and we started the tough climb to the summit, not realizing that darkness came suddenly in the desert. Sure enough, by six we were struggling and Andrew very nearly went down a steep cliff, dragging Mohammed and me along with him. By nine, when the wind howled across the flat ledge of the summit, we knew as we shivered together for warmth that it had not been our lucky day. <br/><br/>　　本段从“rose”（起床）写起，然后是吃早餐（“not to miss breakfast”, “closing at nine o’clock”），然后是“close to noon”，一直写到这一天结束（“By nine--”）。 <br/><br/>　　B. 按位置远近排列（spatial arrangement）。例如： <br/><br/>　　From a distance, it looked like a skinny tube, but as we got closer, we could see it flesh out before our eyes. It was tubular, all right, but fatter than we could see from far away. Furthermore, we were also astonished to notice that the building was really in two parts: a pagoda sitting on top of a tubular one-story structure. Standing ten feet away, we could marvel at how much of the pagoda was made up of glass windows. Almost everything under the wonderful Chinese roof was made of glass, unlike the tube that it was sitting on, which only had four. Inside, the tube was gloomy, because of the lack of light. Then a steep, narrow staircase took us up inside the pagoda and the light changed dramatically. All those windows let in a flood of sunshine and we could see out for miles across the flat land. <br/><br/>　　本段的写法是由远及近，从远处（“from a distance”）写起，然后“get closer”，再到（“ten feet away”），最后是“inside the pagoda”……当然，按位置远近来写不等于都是由远及近。根据需要，也可以由近及远，由表及里等等。 <br/><br/>　　C. 按逻辑关系排列（logical arrangement） <br/><br/>　　a. 按重要性顺序排列（arrangement in order of importance） <br/><br/>　　If you work as a soda jerker, you will, of course, not need much skill in expressing yourself to be effective. If you work on a machine, your ability to express yourself will be of little importance. But as soon as you move one step up from the bottom, your effectiveness depends on your ability to reach others through the spoken or the written word. And the further away your job is from manual work, the larger the organization of which you are an employee, the more important it will be that you know how to convey your thoughts in writing or speaking. In the very large business organization, whether it is the government, the large corporation, or the Army, this ability to express oneself is perhaps the most important of all the skills a man can possess. <br/><br/>　　这一段谈的是表达能力，它的重要性与职业，身份有关，从“not need much skill”或“of little importance”到“more important”，最后是“most important”。 <br/><br/>b.由一般到特殊排列（general-to-specific arrangement） <br/><br/>　　If a reader is lost, it is generally because the writer has not been careful enough to keep him on the path. This carelessness can take any number of forms. Perhaps a sentence is so excessively cluttered that the reader, hacking his way through the verbiage, simply doesn’t know what it means. Perhaps a sentence has been so shoddily constructed that the reader could read it in any of several ways. Perhaps the writer has switched tenses, or has switched pronouns in mid-sentence, so the reader loses track of when the action took place or who is talking. Perhaps sentence B is not logical sequel to sentence A ---- the writer, in whose head the connection is clear, has not bothered to provide the missing link. Perhaps the writer has used an important word incorrectly by not taking the trouble to look it up. He may think that "sanguine" and "sanguinary" mean the same thing, but the difference is a bloody big one. The reader can only infer what the writer is trying to imply. <br/><br/>　　这一段谈的是a writer’s carelessness，先给出一个general statement作为主题句，然后通过5个 ＂perhaps＂加以例证。 <br/><br/>　　c. 由特殊到一般排列（specific-to-general arrangement） <br/><br/>　　I do not understand why people confuse my Siamese cat, Prissy, with the one I had several years ago, Henry. The two cats are only alike in breed. Prissy, a quiet, feminine feline, loves me dearly but not possessively. She likes to keep her distance from people, exert her independence and is never so rude as to beg, lick, or sniff unceremoniously. Her usual posture is sitting upright, eyes closed, perfectly still. Prissy is a very proper cat. Henry, on the other hand, loved me dearly but possessively. He was my shadow from morning till night. He expected me to constantly entertain him. Henry never cared who saw him do anything, whether it was decorous or not, and he usually offended my friends in some way. The cat made himself quite comfortable, on the top of the television, across stranger’s feet or laps, in beds, drawers, sacks, closets, or nooks. The difference between them is imperceptible to strangers. <br/><br/>　　本段的主题句是段首句，它仅提出一个问题：为什么两只猫会被搞混。然后对两者进行比较，末句才下结论。 <br/><br/>　　2）、形连 <br/><br/>　　行文的逻辑性常常要靠适当的转换词语及其他手段来实现。请读下面这一段文字并找出文中用以承上启下的词语： <br/><br/>　　Walter’s goal in life was to become a successful surgeon. First, though, he had to get through high school, so he concentrated all his efforts on his studies --- in particular, biology, chemistry, and math. Because he worked constantly on these subjects, Walter became proficient in them; however, Walter forgot that he needed to master other subjects besides those he had chosen. As a result, during his junior year of high school, Walter failed both English and Latin. Consequently, he had to repeat these subjects and he was almost unable to graduate on schedule. Finally, on June 6, Walter achieved the first step toward realizing his goal. <br/><br/>　　本文中起承上启下的词语有两种，一种是转换词语（transitional words or phrases），另一种是起转换作用的其他连接手段（linking devices）。前者依次有：first, though, so, in particular, and, because, however, besides, as a result, both…and, consequently, and, finally.后者依次是：he, he, his, his, he, these, them, he, those, his, he, these, his. 本段中共有词汇105个，所使用的转换词语及其他连接用语共26个词，约占该段总词汇量的四分之一。由此可见，掌握好transitions不仅对行文的流（smoothness）有益，而且对于学生在半个小时内写足四级短文所要求的120个词也是不无好处的。 <br/><br/>一个段落里如果没有transitions也就很难有coherence了.我们看下面一个例子：Speaking and writing are different in many ways. Speech depends on sounds. Writing uses written symbols. Speech developed about 500 000 years ago. Written language is a recent development. It was invented only about six thousand years ago. Speech is usually informal. The word choice of writing is often relatively formal. Pronunciation and accent often tell where the speaker is from. Pronunciation and accent are ignored in writing. A standard diction and spelling system prevails in the written language of most countries. Speech relies on gesture, loudness, and rise and fall of the voice. Writing lacks gesture, loudness and the rise and fall of the voice. Careful speakers and writers are aware of the differences. <br/><br/>　　本段中除了第6句开头出现一个起过渡作用的＂it＂之外，没有使用其他的过渡词语.这样，文中出现许多重复的词语，全段读起来也显得生硬而不自然。如果加上必要的过渡词语来修饰的话，这一段就成了下面一个流畅连贯的段落： <br/><br/>　　Speaking and writing are different in many ways. Speech depends on sounds; writing, on the other hand, uses written symbols. Speech was developed about 500 000 years ago, but written language is a recent development, invented only about six thousand years ago. Speech is usually informal, while the word choice of writing, by contrast, is often relatively formal. Although pronunciation and accent often tell where the speaker is from, they are ignored in wiring because a standard diction and spelling system prevails in most countries. Speech relies on gesture, loudness, and the rise and fall of the voice, but writing lacks these features. Careful speakers and writers are aware of the differences． <br/><br/>　　4、有损连贯性的几种情况： <br/><br/>　　考生在写作中经常出现下面几种错误： <br/><br/>　　1、不必要的改变时态，比如： <br/><br/>　　In the movie, Robert Redford was a spy. He goes to his office where he found everybody dead. Other spies wanted to kill him, so he takes refuge with Julie Christie. At her house, he had waited for the heat to die down, but they come after him anyway. <br/><br/>　　2、不必要的改变单复数，比如： <br/><br/>　　Everybody looks for satisfaction in his life. They want to be happy. But if he seeks only pleasure in the short run, the person will soon run out of pleasure and life will catch up to him. They need to pursue the deeper pleasure of satisfaction in work and in relationships. <br/><br/>　　３、不必要的改变人称，比如： <br/><br/>　　Now more than ever, parents need to be in touch with their children’s activities because modern life has the tendency to cause cleavages in the family. You need to arrange family like it so that family members will do things together and know one another. You need to give up isolated pleasures of your own and realize that parents have a set of obligations to sponsor togetherness and therefore sponsor knowledge. <br/><br/>　　因此写作中，一定要注意时态，人称以及数的变化是否正确，要注意保持一致。]]></description></item><item><title>疑问句</title><link>http://www.unityenglish.com/bbsxp/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=2&amp;ID=1706&amp;Page=1</link><author>admin</author><pubDate>2008-12-30 9:18:07</pubDate><description><![CDATA[<div id="enText" style="DISPLAY: block">疑问句<br/><br/><br/><br/>1.疑问句包括一般疑问句或称是非问句、特殊疑问句或称有疑问词的问句、选择疑问句和附带问句等四种。<br/><br/>2.一般疑问句是以动词BE、动词HAVE、助动词作句首,用Yes或No来回答的疑问句。<br/><br/>Is this Jane's house？<br/><br/>这是珍的家吗？<br/><br/>I'll wait.
