Talk between the sexes especially between two people who just met may be the hardest form of talking. It is for me. When I was dating in high school and into my 20s and 30s, it was a serious no, no for a girl even to call a boy or a woman to call a man on the telephone. It just wasn’t done. Your parents would tell you. “Nice girls don ’t call boys. Boys call them.” But they didn’t really have to tell you that. The girls wouldn’t call you anyhow.
In those days a strict unwritten code governed how young men and women behaved toward each other. Member of the opposite sex never gave each other clothes as gifts, not even a sweater. Well maybe a necktie or a pair of gloves. Anything else was considered much too personal. Good book. Nice wallet. Nothing more intimate than that. Young men and women certainly never took overnight trips to the beach or anywhere else, even with their steadies and the code word said, “D on’t call him. He’s supposed to call you.”
Today all those taboos(禁忌) are history.
My advice in meeting people and especially in talk between the sexes is to learn as much as you can about the other person as early in the conversation as possible. Engage them in areas that you’re interested in and stick to your natural conversational style. If you ’re a witty bantering(诙谐) sort of talker, see if she is too. If you ’re a woman who is on the serious side, see if he is. If you like politics, or sports or movies, or all of the above, see if he does. If he or she is not like you, and isn’t interested in the subjects that interest you, excuse yourself politely and then move on. There ’s bound to be someone else in the room that’s more fun for you to talk to.
1. The best title of the passage is ______.
A. Talk Between the Sexes
B. Dating with the Opposite Sex
C. Gifts Given to the Opposite Sex
D. Topics for Talks with the Opposite Sex
2. According to the passage, what suggestion is given by the writer?
A. A girl may call a boy for dating on the telephone.
B. A man may find a woman of the same sort to talk to.
C. A woman may not give a man a sweater as a gift.
D. A young man and a young woman may not take overnight trips to the beach.
3. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. in those days young men and women always called each other on the
telephone
B. members of the opposite sex today may not give each other anything they
want as gifts
C. talk between the sexes who know each other well may be easy
D. women should be more of humor when having a talk with men
4. the word “steadies ” in the context in paragraph 2 most probably means ______.
A partners B. co-workers C. lovers D. friends
5. According to the passage, which of the following objects may not be given as a
gift between members of the opposite sex?
A. A dictionary B. A wallet. C. A necktie D. A T-shirt
B
Every person has an ecological(生态的) or environmental “footprint ”. At the most basic level, we all need enough productive land to produce food and fiber and enough clean water to drink, wash and irrigate. We also need enough land to supply energy for heat and cooking, provide some sort of employment, and dispose of our wastes.
As people’s lifestyles expand, so do their footprints. In the industrialized world, we need more land to support our more protein-rich diet, and to supply resources to build our homes, schools, factories, shopping centers and offices. We also need materials to supply the production and consumption of consumer goods that make up the bulk of our economic activity.
In the United States, the average ecological footprint is the largest in the world---some five hectares(公顷). As large as the United States is ,ecologically productive land is limited, so as US population expands, per capita(人均) availability of ecological land decreases. In 1995, the United States had only about 2.8 hectares of ecologically productive land per person, leaving a deficit (缺额) of roughly 2.2 hectares. To support the typical American lifestyle, the US has to import products from (and sometimes export wastes to) other areas.
On a global scale, there is only about 1.5 hectares of ecologically productive land per person. If everyone in the world had a footprint equal to that of an American, we would need over two more planets to support us all today. At current growth rates, we would need five more planet Earths to support the world’s population in 2050.
1. in the passage, the “footprint ” is used to stand for ______.
A. the influence people have on the earth
B. the footmark people leave on the earth
C. the productive land people need on the earth
D. the consumption of consumer goods on the earth
2. As people’s lifestyles expend, so do their footprints, because ______.
A. people demand more productive land to support their rising living standard
B. people in industrialized countries produce more wastes
C. people occupy more living space as their lifestyles expand
D. people consume more protein-rich food for more energy
3. Which of the following statements is true?
A. In 1995, every American has 2.8 hectares land.
B. No enough land is shared in the US.
C. The US depends on other countries for products.
D. No other country has as large ecological footprint as the US.
4. According to the passage, which of the following does the writer imply?
A. There is too little productive land per person in the US.
B. American “footprint ” is closely related to the American lifestyle.
C. We should exploit some other planets.
D. Population growth will increase the average ecological footprint.
5. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The American Problem B. the American Land
C. The American Lifestyle D. The American Footprint”
C
When Spain and Portugal began their colonial expansion, northern Europe was largely a backwater. Shorter growing seasons limited grain production, so the area lacked the caloric(热量的) resources to undertake significant exploration and conquest.
But when Spanish explorers brought the potato back from South America, everything changed. Potatoes grew well in cooler climates, and provided lots of calories. With more food available, population increased rapidly in England, Holland, Germany, Poland and Sweden. When those countries faced shortages of farmland, jobs, and other resources due to population growth, they experienced massive out-migration, primarily to the northern US.
Because of this influx(涌入). US population grew roughly 35% every decade from 1800 to 1860. This caused a huge population shift. In 1800, the South was home to half the US population, but by 1860, it represented just over one-third.
In 1847 the Union comprised 15 slave and 14 free states, so southerners maintained control of the US Senate, But as immigration fueled western expansion, new states began to arise. The South tried desperately to ward this off. It stonewalled(阻碍,妨碍) the Homestead Act and the transcontinental railroad, because those would promote western settlement. And it attempted to create new states where southern institutions could flourish. In the 1840’s and 1850’s, southerners led or sponsored three attempted invasions of Cub, three efforts to seize Nicaragua, and one invasion of Baja California. They also tried to purchase the northern third of Mexico.
None of these efforts were successful, nor could they offset(抵消) the cruel forces of population growth. By 1860, slave states were a minority, and political power had shifted north. By 1861, southerners knew they had only two choices. Either surrender slavery, or fight and win a war of secession( 分离).
1. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. since the potato was introduced into Europe, the population rose rapidly
B. growing potato needed a lot of farmland, but Europe lacked farmland
C. a large number of European people immigrated to Northern America because
potato was originally grown there
D. Spanish people went to South America because they wanted to learn how to
grow potato
2. According to the passage, US population increase rapidly, ______.
A. because more food was available
B. because population death rate decreased
C. so the Southerners occupied fewer percentage of US population
D. so American people faced shortages of job opportunities
3. In line 3 Para. 4. “Ward off” can best be replaced by______.
A. fight B. treat C. prevent D. oppose
4. The Southern slave states became a minority as the result of ______.
A. the failure of the invasions
B. the large western settlement
C. the high population death rate
D. the loss of the control of the US Senate
5. According to the passage, we could get a conclusion that______.
A. immigrants from Europe waged the American Civil War
B. the colonial expansion was the direct reason for the American Civil War
C. food shortage in the South caused the American Civil War
D. potato introduced into Europe led to the American Civil War
D
The sudden emergence of “Y2K ” in headlines around the world is, very simply, shorthand for the coming transition to the Year 2000 in the western calendar and the problems that might and /or are likely to occur as a result of the date change. Virtually all computers and automated systems were formulated (用公式表达) using the solar-based calendar.
However, they have only been using two digits in the year field in the computer code that tells the computer or automated system what to do. When there is a four-digit change in the calendar at midnight on December 31, 1999. many computers and automated system may malfunction unless the year field is fixed. The computer or system may just stop working or inaccurately process date, thinking the year is 1900. This could cause a lot of problems if electrical power grids(系统网络), water systems, energy supply systems, medical devices, shipping ports and airports fail or have to be closed.
Most people don’t sit around thinking about how or where their electricity, water and other basic supplies come from. Most people don ’t really think about how telephones, medical equipment or home appliances work. Microchips are embedded(嵌入) in just about every automated device or system we use today. Not all will be affected by Y2K, but many will and it is important to know which devices and systems are vulnerable(易受攻击的), fix the problem and test it again and again to make sure it will work.
We see that computers and automated systems can do so much, and come to rely on them for the most basic services. Most of us have probably never thought about how a computer cannot think on its own like a human and what that means, Many computers and automated systems are programmed to only recognize 99 years. Unless these Y2K problems are repaired, some systems will malfunction because the computer is not intelligent enough to know what year “00” stands for. Those computers and systems have to be told not to shut down, but keep working onto 2000.
1. According to the passage, what is Y2K?
A. It is the headline of the newspaper article.
B. It is the shorthand for the Year 2000
C. It is the problem that computers may malfunction at midnight on Jan. 1,
2000.
D. It is a king virus that may cause computers and automated systems
malfunction.
2. According to the passage, many computers and automated systems probably stop
working at the midnight on Dec. 31, 1999 because ______.
A. they don’t recognize year 1999.
B. They don’t recognize year 2000.
C. They are stopped for being repaired.
D. They are stopped for being reset.
3. According to the passage, which of the following is most probably not the case
due to Y2K?
A. No water supply. B. Elevators out of order. C. Airlines canceled
D. Shopping center closed.
4. It is implied in the passage that ______.
A. medical equipment work under the control of computers
B. electricity comes from the power station
C. most people don’t realize that the computer is closely connected with their lives
D. people should know how telephones work
5. Generally speaking, according to the passage, Y2K problems may be solved by ______.
A. using four digits in the year field in the computer code
B. telling the computer to go on working at the midnight on Jan. 1, 2000
C. repairing the computer at the midnight on Jan. 1, 2000
D. none of the above.

1. Many of those who experience fame first-hand say there is a negative side that extracts a tremendous price and sometimes outweighs the benefits of a life in the spotlight.
2. But perhaps the biggest price he has to pay for his fame is not being able to do what he calls “ the normal things” that other parents do with their children.
3. Daughters and mothers agree on what the hurtful conversations are. They disagree on who introduced the note of contention because they have different views of what the words imply.
4. Certain situational factors can trigger loneliness, but long-term feelings of emptiness and isolation are partly genetic. What’s inherited is not loneliness itself, but rather sensitivity to disconnection.
5. Corporate images just aren ’t reserved for big businesses like McDonalds; corporate image is just as important for the little guy.
6. You can’t change brand perception overnight, but if they come out with products
that appeal to younger people, that could be a big start.

Unit One (Reading and Speaking) 高中间谍
2001年时,杰里米·艾弗森还是美国加州帕洛阿尔托市斯坦福大学的一名毕业班学生。他胸怀大志却感到些许无聊,于是他便向校报《斯坦福日报》的编辑提出了一个想法。他想要去当地的一所公立高中上两周的学,然后写一篇关于高中生活的文章。这一想法无疾而终,因为该报拒绝帮助他进行这一欺骗行为,但是艾弗森一直没有放弃这一念头。在2004年之前,他一直在向多家纽约大出版社建议出版一本关于暗中假扮高中生的非小说类图书。他指出25年前卡梅伦?克罗为了他的电影《开放的美国学府》也做过同样的事情。艾弗森想要了解年轻一代人的想法。
在没有证据证明学校会允许一位24岁的成人入学的情况下,没有出版社愿意签下这个项目的合同。艾弗森身穿西装,带着装满文字材料和图表的文件夹,拜访了一位又一位校长,设法使他们相信他的计划具有社会价值。三十所学校拒绝了他,最后终于有一所学校答应下来。他用杰里米?休斯的名字入学,并在他随后所著的《高中秘事:一名学生间谍的秘密》(阿特里亚出版社)一书中称该校为米拉多高中。
让一名24岁的成年人偷偷潜入一群青少年中很容易带来许多麻烦。假如他把啤酒递给一名学生,他会因此而背上向未成年人提供含酒精饮料的罪名。假如他亲吻一名年轻的学生,他就有可能会受到性侵犯的指控。艾弗森遵从着两条守则:不从事任何非法活动;不与任何学生有亲密的肢体接触。一旦他的报告出版,他还必须要小心保护学生们不引起关注。在他的书中,他更换了姓名并更改了细节,以此来掩盖学校和学生的身份。 然而,加州克莱蒙特高中的学生记者们认出了“米拉多”就是他们学校。艾弗森在克莱蒙特高中的一个同学(现在已成为他的朋友)得知这一秘密行动时吃了一惊,但还是接受了。“我当时只以为他又是一个早熟的少年。”但是并非所有人都是这么通情达理。学校接纳艾弗森并让他为了个人赢利而将该项目写作成书,家长和老师们对此感到震惊。
(A) 身无分文的人
马特·福特
对于我们大多数人来说,似乎是钱在使世界转动。但是对马克?博伊尔来说却并非如此。他把自己的生活变成了一个彻头彻尾的实验,他发誓不依靠现金、信用卡、贷款及其他任何形式的金钱来生活。
甘地曾号召去实现自己希望看到的世上之变化。这位英国经济学毕业生受到了他的启发。在英国布里斯托尔的有机食品公司当了六年经理之后,他决定寻求创新,走向一个冒险的新方向。
“2007年的一个晚上,我和一位朋友闲坐在一起讨论这个世界上存在的一些问题。我们 试图从中找出一个我们愿意倾注毕生精力来解决的问题。”他告诉CNN 说。
“突然间,我有了灵感。所有问题的根源在于金钱。金钱使我们与自己的行动脱节。无论是通过血汗工厂、农业产业化,或是战争的形式。因此我决定试试看没有钱是不是也可以行通。”
马克卖掉他的游艇,开始为新生活做准备。他在全球捐赠网登了一则广告,征集帐篷、毡包、旅行拖车或其他任何形式的遮风挡雨之物。广告立即有了回应,这使他初次体验到了人类的善良。
“征募一辆旅行拖车只不过是个玩笑,真的,我从没有想过能得到,”他说。“但是这位女士有辆已不再需要的旧车,留着它还要花钱保养 ,她就把这辆车给了我。”
至少他有了一个遮风挡雨的地方。他把拖车拉到一家有机农场,在那里他一周免费工作
三天以换取一块地方来居住、种菜。
接着,一位朋友用一个旧汽油桶为他做了一个简易的烧木头的炉子,供拖车取暖之用。马克又购置了其他一些特价品,包括太阳能电池板和自行车拖车,一切就都准备就绪了。他用两个旧食品罐制成火箭炉做饭,洗澡就用太阳能淋浴器,其实就是把一个黑塑料袋挂在树上,靠阳光照射来加热。
厕所就是在地上挖一个洞,用简易的木板遮挡起来,以保护从附近小道经过的行人的 感情。接下来,他把口袋清空——他甚至不带钥匙,因为他决定不给他的拖车上锁,他决定开始给予这个世界更多一点信任——马克就要开始他的实验了。一切即将改变。
Text B 一个扮成黑人的白人
伯纳丁?埃瓦里斯托
那一年,美国南部仍然处在严重的种族隔离制度之下。公生活全部按照种族进行划分,不同种族之间的通婚属于非法行为。美国黑人在社会、教育和经济方面都处于极度的劣势,虽然民权运动日渐高涨,但法定的胜利还遥遥无期。格里芬在第一章中透露他一直被这样一个问题所困扰,“这种歧视基于皮肤的颜色,而皮肤的颜色是自己无法控制的。体验这种歧视会是怎样的情形呢?”
在他的种族改变发生之前,他已经过着不同寻常的生活。虽然他于1920年出生在南部的一个上流社会的家庭——他的父亲是一位食品杂货批发商,母亲是一位音乐教师——但他却在法国的一所学校和非洲黑人学生一起上学。第二次世界大战爆发之际,他活跃于法国反抗军中,帮助犹太逃亡者,后来被派到所罗门群岛的美国军队中呆了三年。他因战斗疲劳症失明了十年,在康复之前,他在打字机上写了两部小说。
他15岁时,视力完好,带着对自己文化的偏执信念离开了德克萨斯州。回来时,他眼睛失明,已经学会把人简单视作客观存在的人。
他的黑人之旅始于密集的皮肤暗化处理,该过程包括内服药物,日光灯照射及染料上色。在把头发剃光之后,他为自己的外部形象所震惊—“一个强悍的、光头的、肤色很深的黑人从镜子里盯着我看。”然后,他“极其不自然地”走出门去,没入夜色之中。当他在一辆公交车的后排和其他黑人坐在一起时,他们连眼都没眨一下,他意识到起作用了——他顺利过关了。
接下的六个星期,格里芬穿行于深南部,他的传奇经历揭露了他现在所属的群体所受到的种族歧视。被剥夺了作为白人的权利,他不得不步行几英里只为了能喝上一口水、上一趟卫生间,因为当地的公共设施贴上了“仅白人可用”的标签。他被迫居住于低档的住所,被大多数饭馆拒之门外,本来在电话中讲定的工作当他本人出现时却屡遭毁约。他被街头混混纠缠及污辱。人们知道歧视黑人是允许的,许多的罪行很可能可以逍遥法外,整个空气中暴力气氛蠢蠢欲动。
小的羞辱更是不计其数。一位公交车司机对他的白人乘客说“小心脚下”,但是对黑人乘客却置之不理。另一位更是让他等了八个街区才让他下车。而更过分的是在一次州际行程中,有一位司机只让他的白人乘客在途中下车休息,而不让黑人乘客下车休息,只是因为“当我准备启程时要把你们所有人召集起来太麻烦了。”格里芬最难受的一次早期经历发生在一辆公交车上,当时他把自己的座位让给一位站着的白人妇女。
“一刹那间,我们的目光相遇了。我很同情她,我以为自己从她的目光中也觉察到了同情。” 但实际上她丝毫没有同情我的意思。“她那蓝色的眼睛,原本是淡淡的颜色,这会儿目光变得锐利起来,她叫嚷道:?你为什么那样看着我??……我感到自己涨红了脸。其他的白人乘客探头观望。无声涌来的敌意使我不寒而栗。”
还有他每天遭遇的白肤色路人的仇恨的目光。“那种令人畏缩而难堪的恐怖简直无法形容。面对这毫不掩饰的仇恨,你感到不知所措,气愤不已。”
《黑人如我》彻底地揭露了白人主流对黑人的非人性行为。但是格里芬扮作“黑人”的时间是有限的,他的白人评论家们认为他会感到“这种失落比本来的黑人更深刻”,因为这一体验对他来说是从未有过的。他回应说,这种歧视“会烧毁任何一个人……那些白人从他们的所见所闻的角度来说这件事,但我是以我的亲身经历来阐明它的。”他也特别提到黑人们并未对他所经历的种族事件的合法性提出质疑。
即使在那些暗无天日的日子里,变化也正在悄悄地发生。在亚拉巴马州,在马丁?路德?金的影响之下,出现了消极抗争,在乔治亚州的亚特兰大市,尽管还实行种族隔离,颇具势力的黑人领导阶层依然存在。
当这件事在一本为《乌贼属》的黑人杂志上刊登出来的时候,它引起了媒体的强烈的关注,其中大部分是持肯定态度。格里芬所收到的6000封信中,只有9封是辱骂的信件。最强烈的抵制发生在他位于德克萨斯的实行种族隔离的家乡曼斯菲尔德。出现了死亡威胁及一个打给他母亲的匿名电话:“为什么他为那些黑人敞开大门,而我们是那么辛苦地把他们拒之门外。”一个格里芬的雕像被放在大街上焚烧,他的家人最终逃往墨西哥。
格里芬在书中的结尾中写道:“他们没能把我及其他的黑人当人看,因为他们把我们埋葬在他们对我们的固有看法的废物箱中。”虽然美国现在有了黑人总统,英国有了黑人议员、黑人法官和黑人球员,但在欧洲议会中为英国国家党赢得头两个席位的那些人说明了虽然变化正在某些地方发生,但这依然是渐进的,而不是彻底的。

完型填空
该部分考查考生对语法结构、词汇知识和表达方式的掌握情况。共20小题。
在一篇200-250词的短文中留出20个空白,要求考生从每题所给的4个选择项中选出最佳选项,使补足后的短文意思通顺、前后连贯、结构完整。
一、运用语法知识
1、利用段首句或首段最大限度地获取信息
完形填空的第一句话甚至前几句话都是完整的,为考生提供足够的信息,这里往往包含主题句,为理解文章的大意提供必要的线索。
2、利用定义句解题
遇到生词或关键词语,应学会在上下文中找出相关的短语或句子,从而排除理解障碍,有时,反义词语也能为推断生词词义提供帮助。
3、把握文章发展的基本线索
考生应熟记表达不同逻辑关系的连词
4、利用上下文寻找解题信息
完形填空的文章都是一个意义相关联的语篇。它围绕一个话题论述,在行文中词语重复,替代现象是不可避免的。所以,解题时,应联系上下文,寻找相关线索,有时只需将文中的词或短语照搬即可。
二、运用背景知识,降低文章难度,可充分利用社会知识和科普常识来帮助判断,先找出并理解文章主题,主线;并根据主题猜测细节;注意从重复出现的词语中寻找,体会文章表达的氛围。
三、运用词汇,语法等方面的语言知识

附:
I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight, but we had a 36 over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always 37. Not knowing we were poor, my kids(孩子们) just thought I was 38 . I’ve always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time, and although there weren’t 39 for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big 40 for the kids was the fun of Christmas 41.
They planned weeks ahead of time, asking 42 what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for 43 to share by all five of us.
The big 44 arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and 45 them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered(散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would 46 back at the “Santa’s Workshop”.
Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, 47 my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually 48. She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies — fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything 49 we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, 50 to be angry again. This is what she told me.
“I was looking 51 thinking of what to buy, and I 52 to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she 53 for Christmas was a doll(玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and 54 the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t’t have anything.” I never felt so 55 as I did that day.

阅读篇
PETS2 阅读
1.测试考生理解书面英语的能力。
2.考查考生理解总体和特定信息的能力。
3.要求考生根据所提供的5篇短文的内容(约1000词)
4.从每题所给的4个选择项中选出最佳选项。
解题技巧
Test Skills
1.审看题目:有些标题阅读理解文章就提前透露出该篇文章的主要信息,这些标题对于我们了解文章中心与主题,理解文章都大有好处。
2.速读全文,并不需要特意捕捉任何字面信息。对一些敏感之处用笔划出。在速读的瞬时根据文章结构判定哪些是重点,哪些略读。不要特别拘泥计较一两处的不解或生词。
3. 细读文章题目和选项,发觉各选项的不同之处。对一些有较大难度的题目,可以根据文章作者的思路、态度和观点出发,明确考查点做答。
4. 运用对应法、排除法、推测法、归纳法、比较法等确定答案,而对于词句艰深的阅读题,可根据文章大意大胆推测,确定答案。
5.少数一时答不出的题可暂时跳过,待一段时间再回过来补做,切不可花费太多时间。
PETS3 阅读A节
细节题:例如:时间、地点、人物、数量、事件。这类问题的答案一般都能够在原文中找到。 主旨题:主题句在文章中有时直接可以找到,有时需要考生自己总结和归纳。
新世界英语PETS教研组 http://en.neworldedu.org
词汇题:这里所说的词语问题是指考查学生在一定的上下文中辨认和推测词意的能力。 观点题:主要考查考生对作者观点的把握或推断,可以通过上下文找到
推理引申题:通过某些短语和句子以及上下文的理解,做出引申判断。
解题技巧
1.先浏览题目提问和选项,带着问题去阅读文章。有针对性的在文章中寻找答案。建议考生阅读每段文章的第一句和最后一句,以便能从整体上了解文章整体结构和意思。
2.灵活对待一些时间、地点、人物和机构的阅读题目。考生可根据题目的内容,快速找出特殊的单词和数字,无须理会其他信息的干扰。
3.一般来说,命题老师会按照阅读短文叙述情节的先后来安排题目的先后次序。答题时,最好按已有的次序来逐个做题。前面的问题在文章前面找答案,后面的题目一般可在后面或全文中找答案。
难点处理
PETS3级的阅读理解,一般都是三种题材:
记叙文、说明文、议论文。针对不同的文章,要把握不同的解题技巧:
(1)在PETS三级考试中,记叙文考试的重点是考生对故事情节、事件的结局、人物的性格等的把握,应当密切注意记叙文的六要素。
(2)在阅读说明文时,由于有大量的专业术语,考生千万不要被这些生词吓倒。这些专业术语并不能在很大程度上影响考生对整篇文章的理解。
(3)在阅读议论文时,要特别注意作者的态度观点以及论证方法,尤其是作者说话的语气,因为有的英语议论文为了表示客观,作者往往把自己的立场或倾向性隐藏在大量的事实论据之后。考生不能凭自己的看法和倾向去选择,而要尽量揣摩作者的真正观点和言外之意。
PETS3 阅读模拟练习
Is it a good thing, all this time spent on games? Or is it as harmful as television, pulling people ever further from reality? The AOL survey suggests some players are in denial about the extent of their habit. One in 10 gamers finds it impossible to resist games; 1 in 4 admits to losing a night’s sleep to play games; and another quarter has been too absorbed to have meals.
53. When asked about the extent of their habit, some players ___.
A. refused to provide an answer to this question
B. denied they were affected by electronic games
C. wondered why whey were asked such a question
D. stressed their interest in playing electronic games

写作篇
PETS2
写作
考生根据所给情景,写一篇100词左右(不计算标点符号)的书面材料。情景包括目的、对象、时间、地点、内容等;提供情景的形式有图画、图表、提纲等。
Test Skill
书面表达涉及的常见应用文体:
(一)简短信函
【规律分析】简短信函的写作是该部分最常见的考查内容。英文信函的格式、表达方式、称呼用语与中文信函有很大区别,考生应当注意这些区别。
(二) 便条【规律分析】实际上是一种简单的书信,内容简短,格式简单,便条内容包括通知、询问、约会、留言等。便条一般是托人递交的或是本人临时在某一场合直接留言,所谈及的一般都是在一两天内的情况。便条通常没有写信人及收信人地址,一般也没有结束语等项,用词随便,比较接近于口语。(三) 日记
【规律分析】日记是考生比较熟悉的一种写作形式,最为贴近生活,所以写起来不会很困难。格式方面需要注意:日记最前面应该有星期、年月日和天气情况的说明,其中月和日不可省去,其余的有时可以省略,具体写作格式视试题具体要求而定。
(四) 通知【规律分析】通知是上级对下级,组织对成员部署工作、召开会议或传达事情等使用的一种应用文。
这种通知通常张贴在布告栏内,
一般包括四部分:标题;正文;单位名称(有时可以省略);日期。
通知的内容要简洁明了,不要写得冗长繁琐或含糊其辞。通知的语言一般不带感情色彩,要尽量少用形容词、副词、俚语和俗语等
Writing Tips
1.审清题意,确定写作要求,这是写好书面表达题的前提。
2.确定格式
3.确定要点
4.组织语言
5.通读全文,检查复核
Suggestion
建议:考生在考试前两个月开始着手书面表达的迎考复习,并试着考虑可以从以下几方面着手:
1、熟悉英语中的五种基本句型,并时常用基础词汇造句。
五种基本句型:
主语+联系动词+表语
e.g.The orange tastes good.②主语+谓语
e.g.They run every morning③ 主语+谓语+宾语
e.g.That wolf ate a sheep.④主语+谓语+间接宾语+直接宾语
e.g. They sent him a letter.⑤主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补足语
新世界英语PETS教研组 http://en.neworldedu.org

Part B
要求根据所给情景,写出一篇不少于120字的文章。情景主要是图表、数据或图画。考试中,最多出现的是图表写作与图画写作两种,下面分别介绍。
(一) 图表写作
图表写作往往是用数据或比例来表示相关因素的相互关系和变化规律,从而说明一定的道理。常见的图表有:表格、扇形图、线性图、条形图和柱形图。图标写作应注意以下几个方面:
1.仔细看图,全面领会图表中的信息。
2.根据题目的要求,认真分析图表中的信息,得出结论,构思文章的整体布局。
3.严格按照题目要求写作。
4.引用图标数据要有针对性。要写好图表作文,应该熟悉图表写作的常用句型,这样既能节约时间,又可以使文章显得较专业。下面给出图表概述或描述中常用的句型:
1. As is shown by the graph, ?? (概述图表)/in the table.
2. It can be seen from the table that ?? (得出结论)
shown graph/concluded figures/estimated statistics
3. ? amount to ?/add up to/come to /sum up to
4. ? increase from ? to ? (数量增减)
decrease/rise/fall /drop
5.(be)three times as + 形容词 + as
总产量 total output
..的年产量 the annual output of
上升17% rise by 17 per cent steel
日产量 the daily output
导致产量下降 result in a diminished output
6.Compared with ? , (作比较)
7.There is (was) the rise/has been sharp increase on the increase/sudden decrease on the decline/steady decline/gradual fall/slow drop
(二)图画写作
图画写作就是通过图画提供的图像信息写一篇短文,包括叙述一个故事,或通过几幅相关的图画说明某个问题或得出结论。
就看图作文内容而言,是要求考生写出观察到的背景,也可以借助想象力适当地进行发挥来补充一些内容;从看图作文的表达方式看,此类作文可以单纯地理解、说明、也可以在说明中加以描写、叙述,另外还可以将图画中的内容改编成故事。
Suggestion1.认真审题,理解图画中的主题、梗概。
看图作文的第一步应该是“看图”,根据题目要求认真、细心地观看图画,看看图中都有什
新世界英语PETS教研组 http://en.neworldedu.org
么。包括人物及人物的动作、行为、装饰、表情和与他们有联系的物品及物品的形态、位置、大小,画的背景等。
2.罗列写作大纲。
在图画写作中,写作大纲十分重要,它可以帮你防止遗漏写作要点,又能帮助合理分配和利用时间。
3.增加细节、连续成文。
在大纲的基础上添枝加叶,润色成文。注意写完后同样要进行仔细的检查,看有无语法、拼写、标点错误。
Writing Mistakes第一、对语法知识掌握不牢及对基本词汇记忆不清。
它包括定冠词和不定冠词的滥用,主谓不一致,单复数搞不清楚(例如:a people等),时态和语态混乱及词语的各种形式掌握不牢。
有的考生文章写得很长,字迹也很工整,但是读完之后只觉得思路紊乱,支离破碎,没有一个完整的句子。
第二、词汇量太小,且对已学词汇记忆不清。
无法用一些合适的词来表达自己的思想,于是只有绕着题目翻来覆去乱说一气。词汇的有限导致许多考生有口难言,欲说不能。
第三、缺乏思想,深度不够。
很多考生写出的文章着眼点低,视野狭窄。举出来的例子是范围太窄。
第四、缺乏应试技巧。
主要表现为有些考生在篇首或篇尾有喊口号倾向或画蛇添足,本来文章该结束了却偏要啰啰嗦嗦再来两句多余的话;
另外字数把握不准,不是写得太短就是写得太长或者笔迹凌乱。
