TOEFL复习笔记(语法笔记)

TOEFL复习笔记(语法笔记)

总叙:
1. 句子结构(句法)及书面表达(书面语) (1题1分)
2. 在语法改错中:alike-like another-other do-make special-
especially
3. 情态动词,在TOEFL考试中永远不错。
…are could… √
虚拟语气,在TOEFL中永远不考。
具体词汇:
first在改错中划线,永远不错。
The first sb to do sth 第一个做…的人
purpose: The purpose of sth is to do sth 做…的目的
语法题的考试比重:
句子结构考填空(15条)
词法考改错(25条)

填空部分:
a) 先找句子分段点(即连词、分词、介词和标点),将句子分成几段,选择要
读的那部分,即只关注与空格相关的部分。
1. 连词与标点:eg:《语法》P192 10
分词与标点:eg:《语法》P192 15
介词与标点:eg:《语法》P192 11
2. 句子:简单句 s+v.
复合句 主语+从句录 (任何句子只看一半)
并列句(分句+分句) sentence;sentence.(只看一半)
sentence and/or/but sentence.(只看一半)
b) 简化句子 (eg:《语法》P192 1)
简化原则:1、ad、冠词、数词随时可以划掉不看
2、修饰n.的a.或者分词随时划掉不看
3、prep短语随时划掉不看
4、做状语的分词短语(位于句首或句尾),随时划掉不看
5、与空格无关的句子划掉不看
c) 分析句子结构、判断空格中所缺句子成分
捷径:可直接套用固定句型与结构(eg:《语法》P192 8)

倒装句型:倒装部分的首字为助动词或系动词。
1.句子成分 主、谓、宾、定、状、补、同谓
状:修饰谓语
定、补、同谓→主、宾
d) 区分4个选项,结合句意与语感确定选项,确定答案
思路:句子→简单句→主干→判断缺少成分→选择答案
2.状语:prep状语 状从 独立结构、n.+doing、n.+done inf doing/done
分词
3.固定结构 《语法》P192 12
4. 固定结构 《语法》P192 12
…forms…,___,required elements.
即:sub,插入语,v+obj.  插入语:定从或者省略定从
定从省略:在定从中,sub+系动词,可以同时省略,即which be / who be /
that be可省

√插入结构的答案标准形式
1. 定语从句或者省略定从
2. n.作主语同谓语
3. a.短语/分词短语/介词短语
eg:a)Bill Clinton,(who is省)the former president of the U.S.A,loves
L.
《语法》P193 12
c)Pandas,(which are省)native to China,are loved by the people all
over the world.
(形容词短语)

4. 填空的固定结构与句型
a)主句专一结构:(《讲义》P6 1 2)
任何句子只有一个主语,句子间必须有连词连接
eg:句子,句子。X(此结构误)
句子;句子。√
TOEFL语法中之考陈述句,任何从句均正常语气。
b)谓语专一结构:(《讲义》P6 2 4)
任何句子只有一个谓语,谓语间必须有两次连接
eg:主谓…谓…. X
主谓…,谓…. X
c)平行结构:(《讲义》)P6 5 6)(新题 P59 3 4)
A and/or B
A,B,and/or B
各元素必须一致
Sentence 1, sentence 2, sentence 3 and sentence 4. √ (排比句)
d)宾语从句结构:(《讲义》P6 7 8 《讲义》P21 91.8.10)
indicate、state等动词后面第一反应为that引导的宾语从句,即:
sub+Vt+that+clause,所以indicate、state等Vt后面第一反应是找that。
e)what结构:(《讲义》P7 9 10)

1.缩合连接代词
what= the thing that/all that  thing由句意决定(《讲义》P7 9 10)
2.What在前后句中必须同时做成分
what= the thing that
3.n.+what X what前面永远不要先行词
4.prep.+what+完整句(s.+v.+o.) X 
→which
5. What is now √ (新题 9710.13) 可有可无的插入语
6. what little(不可数) what few(可数) (新题 98.10.14) what
little = the little sth that what few = the few sth that

7. what引导的句子等于一个名词,且可以作sub或者obj,或表语
what+v = the thing (that+v)

8. what 90%以上的出题方式:
prep___v.:介词与谓语间用what (讲义 P7 9)
Vt___v.:及物动词与谓语间用what(讲义 P7 10)
f) prep+which结构:(讲义 P7 11 12)
1.S+vt+n.+which+vt+o. (which做主语)
主句
+s+vt(which做宾语)
√ which+不完整句
2.S+Vt+n.+prep.+which+s.+v.+o
主句 完整句
√prep+which+完整句(句子+prep+which+句子)
连接两句子
√句子___句子。*可优先选择prep+which或in that

定于从句与同位语的区别:
1.定从:sub+vt+n+that/which+不完整句
关系代词
同位语:sub+vt+n+that+完整句
连接ad.
2.定从的先行词是任何词,同位语的先行词只有:见《讲义》P23 94.8.6
3.定从与n的关系是修饰关系,同位语与n的关系是说明名词内容。
g) in that结构:(讲义13 14)
in that= because 因为  in that:连词+原因状语
但是in that不位于句首,句子+in that+句子,但是because可以位于句首。
答案中只要有in that,一定是选项。

h) 同位语从句:(讲义15-19)
同位语:主语同位语/宾语同位语→ n.
说明或者解释主语/宾语的某一属性/特性
1.主语同位语的三种位置:
1)主语同位语:主+谓+宾:n, sub+v+o 位于句首的孤立n,只能是同位语
eg:A famous GRE expert,Micheal Yu is a good teacher.
解题方法:由主语同位语找主语(讲义P7 15)
2)主同:主,n. ,v+obj (讲义 P7 17)
主,主同,谓宾
3)主同+主+谓+宾(没逗号)
eg:The teacher Feanklin has taught TOEFL for three years.
2.宾语同位语的两种位置:
1) 主 谓 宾,宾同:s+v+o , n 位于句尾的孤立n,只能是同位语 (讲义
P7 18 19)
ad+同位语(n)√
eg:Once a famous seaport, Shanghai is become a large city.
2) 主谓宾+宾同(不用逗号) (逗号可有可无)
eg:新题:P275 9

i) adj的并列结构:(讲义 P7 20 21)
an old red car √ an old,red car √ a red,old car√
a red old car X 
当几个a.排成一列修饰同一个n.时,a.间不并列,则有明确的顺序。当几个a排
成一列修饰同一个n.时,a.间并列,则没有明确的顺序。逗号连接两个a.,并且
并列。

j) 比较级结构:(讲义P7 22-25)
Franklin plays tennis than LQX.(省略性)√
LQX does.(对称性)√
does LQX.(倒装性)√
1) 对称性:在比较结构中,比较对象一定要对等。
√eg:The climate of Alaska is much coller than that of Texas.
在比较结构中优先考虑选择that / those / the one,而不选it / them,因为
that / those / the one是泛指,it / them是特指。 (讲义 P7 24 25)
*比较对象一定要泛指。
China has a long history than Japan. 不用its
2) 省略性:(讲义P7 24 25) 
在比较结构中,相同的谓语可以省略,尤其是be动词带省
eg:He is a little old than I (am).
3) 倒装性:在比较结构中,than后面可以倒装也可以不倒装,但考试中是倒装
形式。(讲义 P7 23)

k)定语从句的省略结构:(讲义 26 27)
1. 如果that / which在定从中作obj,可以省略.
sub+vt+n+(which / that)+sub+vt
→s+vt+n+s+v
 s+vt+n1+n2+vt
*当做题时,若发现两个名词在一起,但是似乎连不上,则一定省略that /
which,则动词为vt,做谓语。
2. 定从的特殊省略(新题 P92 13)
the way (in which) + 句子
the reason (why that)+句子        均为完整句
the time (that / when)+句子
I do remember the first time (that省) I ever heard the sweatest voice
in the world.
By the time省that+句子,句子。
3.定从的主系省略(主+系可同时省)
即:which be , who be , that be可同时省 (讲义P7 17)
*在新题中难题常与which be的省略有关(新题 P196 15)
l)状语从句的省略结构:(讲义 P8 28 29)
Although (it is)native to Europe, svo.
Although (she was) affluted by…svo.
Even though (it is) costly,svo.

省略条件:
1) 特定的状语从句引导词:although though even though when while 
if as
2) 从句为主系表结构
3) 从句主语与主句主语一致。
Alought (主+系)+表,主谓宾。

省略方式:
a) 可以同时省略主+系→连词+表语(a. 分词 svo)
b) 主系必须同时省
c) Alough / Thouth / While / If / As / When +(系表)+a./分词,svo
√ 一定是答案
m)doing结构:(讲义 30 31)
doing现在分词→ a./ad.作定于/状语
动名词→ n. 作主语/宾语
eg:1)Stranving troop have to surrender.
现在分词修饰n.,翻译为“…的”
2)Transforming faw materials into useful products is called
maufacturing.  (Transforming:动名词)
具有动词特征的n做主语或者宾语,但同时又可接宾语,动名词与n为动宾关系,
中心词为v-ing,翻译为“…的行为”。
3)Starving troops is forbidden,  sharving是主语,单数,谓语动词用is
不用are

*在TOEFL中:
____n.(pl.)+v.(sing),一般空格内优先选doing (讲义 31)
n)make结构:(讲义31 32)
make+obj+宾补 obj:n/代词 宾补:n./adj.
1) make+n1+n2 make the boy president (班长)
2) make+n./代词+a. (新题 P78 11)
make it unique it:真宾语
3)make it possible to do it:形式宾语 (讲义 33)
that +句子
4)make sth possible  sht:短宾语  possible宾补
  make possible sth  sth长宾语  possible宾补 (新题 32)
o)the more…the more结构 

标准句式:the more sub+v1 the more sub+v2
!)对称性:结构中的n.前必须有限定词
the more the +n1 the more the +n2
2)省略性:结构中相同的谓语可省,尤其是be动词可省
3)倒装性:The more svo , the more svo .是一个复合句。
条件状从 主句
因此从句不能倒装,而主句(第二个the more)可倒装。

p)表结果的伴随状语从句结构: (讲义 36 37)
svo,doing….伴随状语
表结果:thus / thereby → svo,thus / thereby +doing…
*thus / thereby 后不一定加doing
*as f ar / long / early  as 出现即为答案/
many / much

q)adj短语做后置定语结构:(讲义 38 39) *==等价于定从的省略
a door (close to the window) 省略which be
a distance (equal to twice)
n1+(a.+prep+n2) adj短语
foods (high in fat) √
leaves (rich in suger) √
n1+which be(比较级+than+n2) 相当于从句的省略
a temperature (highter than 50C)

r)adj最高级的省略结构: (讲义 40 41)
the most improtant of all books
the most elaborate of all birdnests
the+a.最高级+单数n. X +of   复数n. 一样错
*单数n.必须省略,则the+a.最高级+of+n.(pl.)
n.(可代替)→ ad. X / v.过去时X 
  a. n.(sing) of √   *the a.原级 of+ the restfulof X
the poor of √

s)不规则动词的过去式作谓语结构:(讲义 42 43)
She set  set-set-set
It cost  cost-cost-cost
It spread spread-spread-spread

t)规则动词的过去分词作后置定语结构 (讲义 44-46)
46条:Automatons programmed… 非谓语,整个句子少谓语
lack a. be lack of 
vi. be lack in
vt. Sub+lack+obj
*如何判断n+v-ed是谓语还是非谓语?
eg:n+called call-called-called
We called him Bush. 主动,过去式,谓语
He was called Bush. 被动,过去分词,谓语
…a boy called Bush? 被动,过去分词,后置定语
根据主/被动确定,主动语态为过去式,被动语态为过去分词,被动式中有be即
是非谓语。
*n+v-ed,先从逻辑上判断名词与动词过去式的关系,主动为过去式,是谓语,
考试时留下,被动是过去分词,没有be,则是后置定语,考试时划掉不看。

u)逻辑主语结构: (讲义 47-50)
1) Doing…,svo.
Done…,svo.
动作的发出者/承受者为逻辑主语,*位于句首做状语的分词短语的逻辑主语,也
就是句子的主语。(47)
2) n1+doing…,n2vo.
n1+doing…,n2vo.
分词的逻辑主语与句子主语不一致,即为独立主格结构,在n1前可加with /
without
3)(n2)prep+n1,svo.     (讲义 49 / 新题 P104 10)
  前后主谓要一致
4)Alough +doing…,svo.
If+done…,svo.
位于句首,做状语的分词短语显然可以加状语从句引导词alough though 
even though if as when while
eg:When traveling in New York, Tom met many intrersting people..
5)To do…,svo.  Inf的逻辑主语与句子主语可一致也可不一致:
eg:To made stereo effects, two recordings are made the some
performances.
6)Alough to do…,svo. X
If to do…,svo. X
位于句首做状语的inf前不可加状语引导词。
*when to do,句子。X
句子,when to do. X
在TOEFL中,when to do一般不选。

v)宾补法则:(讲义 51-54)
We appointed him +CEO. (CEO:宾补)
主  谓 宾  宾补     (主动)
He was appointed +CES.
主  谓       主补 (被动)
主动为宾补,被动为主补。
补语:使句子完整。
宾补:某些vt接obj后,句意不完整,必须加一个n或者adj,所加的n.或者adj,
即为宾补,分词也可以。这些vt为:appoint, elect, consider, name, call,
make.
1) elect:主动:sb/sth elect sb sth.
被动:sb be elect a)+职位
+to+机构
c)+to+the office of+职务
2) consider:在TOEFL中,从不说consider as
主动:sb / sth consider n1+(to be)+n2/a.宾补
被动:n1+be considered+to be+n2/a.主补
*consider+n1+n2在考试中优先选择。
3)name 主动:sb/sth name sb sth
被动:sb be named sth
4)宾语后置:(宾语太长)
make sth possible = make possible sth
bring sth to sb / sw = bring to sb /sw sth
bring sth together = bring together sth
bring sth to light揭示…,发现… = bring to light sth

w)it结构 (讲义55-57)
*___ n. (新题P183 15 / 讲义 57)
答案一般选sub+谓语,优先选择there be,一定不选it is /they’re,it is不
位于句首:It is a book. X一般TOEFL中考:
1) 强调句型
It’s / was +被强调部分+that / who +其余部分 
被强调部分+其余部分=句子。
a) 可强调主语、宾语、状语,但是不可鄙强调定语、谓语。
b) 强调人时,that / who均可,其余均用that
c) 后面句子为过去时态,用was,其余用is
*___ who…,___that… (讲义 55)
优先选择it is / was +ڤ
2) 形式主/宾语
it+be+adj/分词+ to do        it:形式主语
that clause
eg:It is easy to pass TOEFL.
It was once believed that+句子
形式宾语:s+vi+it+adj. / 分词+ to do / that clause. It:形式主语
sub+make+it+possible+to do / that

x)which引导定从的三种形式:
1) sub+vt+n+which+sv2 / v2o *which不一定指最接近的n. (j讲义 P9 58)
2) s.+vt+n.+[prep+which]+svo. (讲义 59) 
*prep+which+vo X → prep+which+svo √
3)SVO, 数/n. +of which + VO
主语 谓语
对部分进行解释
*    all
both
SVO, each      _____ VO.
either
five
five persent
three quater 这类题一定选of which.

y)倒装结构:一般考1~2条,在第13~15之间 (讲义 62-67) 
原则:只有主句才可以倒装,答案的首字母一定为系动词。
1. 否定ad位于句首,引起倒装:not only, not until, haedly, scarcely,
seldom, rarely, no sooner…than 
1) not until + 时间 + 主谓倒装,not until + 句子+主谓倒装
2) only+状语位于句首
only +ad.  eg: recently
prep.短短语  eg: in recently years
从句  eg: when clause
only一个词本身不倒装
3) 形容词短语/分词短语位于句首,引起倒装
adj+prep+n.+系动词+n.
表语 系 主
*typical of  characteristic of
分词短语+prep+n.+系动词+n.
表语 系  主
 *coinciding with + n
4) so位于句首 (so…that…)
sub+be+so+a.+that clause
so+a.+be+sub+that clause
5) 表示地点范围的介词短语位于句首,谓语动词为系动词,一定引起倒装
In…(表语)+系动词+主,主同。  (新题 P144 14)
*在倒装句型答案中不能出现there
*常考介词要倒装:among between in at beneath
常考的系动词:be lie exist remain rest
6) 在比较级结构中,than后面可以倒装,也可以不倒装。
7) as位于句中:
eg: Jerry is a good teacher, as are his family. as在句中
Jerry is a good teacher. So are his family. so在句首

z)双谓语结构: (讲义 72-76)
___ v1(从句谓) + …… + v2(主句谓)
结构特征:两个谓语直接在一起,第一反应应为主语从句。
即:主从引导词+sv1o+v2o
1. 主语从句引导词+主语从句 V1+…+V2 (90%)
2. Doing+宾从引导词+宾从主语+v1+…+v2 
3. N.+of+what+v1+…+v2

二十七、双宾语结构: (讲义 77 新题 P196 13)
1. gain win earn
sth gain / win / earn+sb+sth
2. tell persudade
sb tell sb that+句子
sb persuade sb that+句子
3.give grant  (新题 P130 12)
sth give sth sth
sth/sb grant sb/sth sth
4.Appoint hame call elect consider make
*v2+n1+n2 优先选择

二十八、讲义 68-71
1. Like / unlike + n , svo.
2. Pioneer in 只考被动
3. What to do  what不要obj
How +句子  how要有obj
What one says.
How one says it.
What to do. (what is pron)
How to do it (how is ad)
注:在讲义上P21 91.5.8加:which, whereas
*在空格前为完整句,空格后为名词,95%以上的空格是定语从句
S+Vt+n.+定语从句(95%)


改错部分:
a.改错题做题要点:
1. 语法与句意并重,一定要通读全句
2. 一边读句意,一边思考划线部分的语法知识点是否正确

b.改错题出题方向:
一、名词:
A、名词做定语的单复数问题:
1. 名词做定语,即n1修饰n2, n1必须为单数。(讲义 P1 10)
a twenty-four hour period √
例外:a greetings card √
a savings bank √
a communucations satellite √
a sports car √
a sales girl √
a systems engineering √

2. many woman修饰名词,单复数与后面的名词的单复数一致,比如:women
boxers (讲义P1 11)

3. the highset scientific lab X a chemical lab X a mathmatics(n.)
professor √ a biological textbook X 当表示某一学科的教授、学生、教科
书、实验室、系等教学要素,应该用名词修饰,而不是用形容词。eg: a
physics student 
the scientific and technical field (用形容词因为field不是教学要素)
B、限定词与名词单复数:(讲义P1 4)
1. some / any / all 单复数均可,可数不可数均可
如:some kind 某一种  some kinds 某些种
some time some money
any of the books / some of the books →any / some作代词
Would you like some coffee?(想要得到肯定的回答)
2. Many + pl
Much +/Λ /     (见讲义P1 3)
As much as 2,000 kms. √ 永远作单数
As many as 50 precent of the income. X    precent /Λ /
As much as 50 precent of the income. √
2000 kms is a long distance. √
many are…
by many…  many也可以作prep (讲义P1 13)
3.few / a few 可数,肯定    (讲义P1 2)
  little / a little 不可数,否定
  (a)few +n.s
4.each / every 单数,可数
eg each ten boys √
each major styles X
each major style √
5.数词 / several + pl.
five aircraft √  several settings √
several + n.s 
6.one of+pl (讲义P1 7)
among+pl  (讲义P1 11)
7.first / only / simple 单/复数均可
the first school 第一所学校
the first schools 第一批学校
the only university 唯一的大学
the only university 唯一的几所大学
single: a single +n.(sing) / no single +n.(sing)
也可pl: two single rooms
8.another+sing (复数也可以,但不多)
other + pl (单数也可以,但不多)
anyother +sing
another two boys  other part t
the other+sing / pl
any other state = any of the other states
9. Hundred / thousand / million数量词=数词+量词
five thousands pieces X → five thousand piece (five:数词 thousand
量词)
一亿本书:hundred millions books X
hundreds million books X
hundreds millions books X
(a) hundred millions books √

数    量 
10.a number of + pl + v(pl)  (讲义P1 8 9)
the number of +pl+v(sing)
11.Various / diverse / numerous +pl.
C、可数与不可数名词:
1. 常考的可数n. (讲义 P23 5)
a chance discovery 一个偶然发现
population:人口数/Λ / 各地的人口数/c/ 人群/c/:a sample population
make great efforts to do
color effects
a clue 一条线索
an amount of + /Λ /

2. 常考的不可数名词: (讲义 P10 1)
a. 流体:air smoke oil water…
b. 总称名词:poetry foliage… [集合名词:family people police…+are]

d. 自然现象:sunlight darkness weather rain…[但是:a heavy rain 前有
adj.,raindrop雨滴,可数]
e. 颗粒装物体:rice salt parder(颗粒)…
f. 疾病:measles mumps diaheties…
g. 学科:讲义 P10 2 statistics:统计学,不可数;统计数据,可数

3. 常考的不规则单复数: (讲义P10 3 4)
*tooth划线,这个答案一定错。
foot-foot 单复数一样:步兵   horse-horse:单复数一样:骑兵

4. 常考的单复数同形的名词:(讲义P11 4):
*a mean这答案一定错。

5. 单复数名词意义有差异:
mean:中庸,均值-means:方法,手段,财富
water:水-waters:水域(water加s一定不错)
part:部分-parts:部分,才能 other part:其他部分,以免歧义。
good:好-goods:货物
force:;力,力量-forces:武装部队
custom:风俗习惯-customs风俗习惯,海关
spectacle:光景-spectacles:眼镜
arm:手臂-arms:武器

6. 既可数又不可数的名词:(讲义P21 91.1.21.n.c.&u.)
rock:大块岩石,可数;小的岩石,不可数
suger:方糖,可数;沙糖,不可数
area:面积,不可数;地区、区域,可数
collection:由同种物品构成,不可数;由不同种物品构成,可数
eg: his art collection /Λ /  his three collections of short
stories /c/
time:时间,不可数;此数、倍数,可数
*当不可数表示种类的时候,就是可数的。
可数/不可数的区别:有无可数的概念,抽象(不可数)还是具体(可数)
advertising /Λ /
advertisement /c/
the meaning of life /Λ / 生命的意义
their lives /c/  他们的生命

二、冠词 (讲义P1 12-23)
A、不定冠词 (a与an划线80%错)
1. a与an的混用:(讲义12) 发音而非字母
a university a unit a unique an undergradute an understanding an
atom an emotion an electrical lamp an hour an honest boy an herb
 a yawn

2. a与pl.n.的连用
出题方式:a/an+adj+pl.n
an outstanding boys X an outstanding boy √

3. 不定冠词的遗漏:(讲义 14)
①固定词组中a的遗漏
a set of a serics of a piece of a variety of a group of a wealth
of a wide range of a collection of
②单数可数名词,前面必须有限定词
It is book. X
It is good book. X
It is very good book. X
It is a very good book.√
限定词:冠词a an the 人称代词his her… 指示代词that this… 所有格
Tom’s… 不定代词any some…
I have times.√
规律:⑴v+单数可数名词 X
…is still practical medium…X
…is still a practical medium…√
…operated sewing machines
…hired women
form grid X→…form grids/a grid
⑵prep+sing./c/ X (讲义 16)
…the manufacture of automobiles
…of hamid areas
…in poor neighbouhoods

B、定冠词
1. 表“独一无二”的事物前加the
the Sun. the Moon (the)earth The Summer Palace

2. 叙述词:只有做前置定语修饰名词,才必须加the
the first university
陷阱:①Utah ranks first among… 不是前置定语
    rank first among词组
②A is second only to B. A仅次于B。

3. 最高级:只有做前置定语,才加the(新题P67 29)
the most handsome teacher
Pandas are most plantiful in China, 做定语,不用定冠词。
陷阱:most的非最高级不一定要加the.(讲义 23)

4. 表示“开始”“结束”一定加the (讲义 19)

5. 表示“人体”“普通人”加the (新题 95.8.40)

mostly:adj修饰名词,ad修饰形容词和副词

12.乐器前加定冠词(但中国乐器不加,洋鬼子的乐器才要加)

三、代词:(讲义 P2 24-32)
TOEFL中,代词的错误率非常高
1. 代词间五种形式的混淆
主格he↔宾格him←反身代词 himself
↕   ↨     ↑   
所有格his   名词.self     (箭头为改错方向)
①名词前应该使用所有格(新题 P92 27)
eg Who style X → whose style
make she debut X → make her debut
②反身代词(改为宾格)
反身代词必须与所在句子主语一致 (讲义 24)
eg  He killed him. (他杀)宾格与主语不一致
He killed himself.(自杀)反身代词与主语一致
③双宾语结构、名词前不一定是所有格
eg  His studies is genentics won him prices. √ 双宾语
④self自我、本我,n. → 出现在哲学中,self划线永远错。

2. 代词的单复数的混用 (讲义 25)
it→them its→theirs that→those he→them one→those himself→
themslves

3. them & those, it & the one的区别(讲义 27)
them与it特指,they与the one泛指

4. 代词的性别的混用 (讲义 28)

5. 代词的人与物的混用 it / he…

6. 关系代词的混用:
a. who代人,that代人/物,which代物。*一般考点为who / which(讲义
30)
b. who代人,主格;whom代人,宾格;whose代人/物,所有格。*一般考点为
who/whose(讲义 31)

7. 从句引导词(讲义 19 36)
①从句引导词:代词性:在从句中做成分,代词+不完整句
who / whom / that / which / how many
形容词:whose / how much / how many *在句中不做成分,ad+完整句
ad.:if / because / why / when…
that即是代词性,也是副词性引导词
*that的用法:
a)that ⑴关系代词用于定从,在从句中做主语或者宾语。
…n.+that+不完整句
⑵连接副词,用于主从,宾从,表从和同位语从句。在从句中不做成分
…that+完整句
b)that省略 ⑴在定从中,that做主语可以省略。That+be可以省略。
⑵在宾从中,某些及物动词后可省:say/
see/know /here /think /believe /betold /understand / propose / hear
②prep+which+不完整句 X
prep+what+完整句X
when+n(孤立)X
n+what X
whose +v. X
where+v. X
③状语从句引导词+完整句
④介词+which+完整句
 连接副词(that)+完整句
⑤如果先行词中有序数词、最高级、不定代词、only中,只用that不用which

8. 从句:从句是主句的一个句子成分,从句=从句引导词+句子,从句引导词表
明从句的位置。
㈠主语从句:从句是主句的一个主语
sub clause+v+obj
从句引导词+句子+v+obj → 标准形式
That TOEFL is a piece of cake is known to all.
㈡宾语从句:从句是主语的宾语
主语+谓语+从句
sub+vt+从句引导词+句子→ 标准形式
We known that TOEFL is a piece of cake.
㈢表语从句:从句是主句的一个表语
主+系+表
sub+系动词+从句引导词+句子→ 标准形式
The fact is that TOEFL is a piece of cake.
㈣状语从句:从句是主句的一个状语
状语。Svo.
从句引导词+句子,句子.→ 标准形式
*引导词决定句子的性质,如if是条件从句,when是时间从句等.
㈤同位语从句:从句是主语的同位语
主语+谓语+宾语+从句  完整句
sub+vt+obj(n.)+从句引导词(ad)+句子→ 标准形式(宾同)
We know the fact that TOEFL is a piece of cake.
㈥定语从句:从句是主句的一个定语(以宾语定语为例)
s+v+n+从句引导词(代词)+不完整句→ 标准相识
We know the fact that is not known to Jerry.

四、介词(讲义33-43)
1、through / throughout
through 穿过(某一具体物体):through the earth
通过(某一具体方式):through x-ray analysis
throughout +时间:贯穿 throughout his lifetime/their existense
+地点:遍布 throughout the world =all over the world = all across
the world

2、between / among
the distance between the stars / trees. √
distance表示两者的距离
among the two separate realms. X
among三个/三个以上之间

3.In / inside / into → 动态的,强调动作、过程
air into a house X→ air in a house 
shot arrows inside the sky X → shot arrows into the sky
in/inside表示静态的,强调的状态
into commerve X → in commerve

4.In / for / since (与时态有关)
in:时刻点 in 1979 过去时
时间段 in recent years (完成时)/ in two days(将来时)
for:介词+一段时间:for three years (完成时,过去时)
   连词: 自从,因为
并列连词:不位于句首,句子,for+句子

prep → of , of → prep.
With强调某种工具的使用,of强调所有关系

6.by be done by 被动语态的标志
by doing通过…方才…
作品by作者 / 电影by导演 / 研究by研究人员

7. 固定搭配(3-4个)


五、动词(讲义44-73)
㈠谓语动词
1. 主谓一致(与插入语无关)
1主谓的分隔原则:主谓之间可以用定语从句或者省略的定语从句分隔。
s1→vo

2定语从句中的主谓一致:…n1+that+v
…,one of +n(pl)+that+v(sing) / v(pl) 通常
…,the only one+n.(pl)+that+v(sing)
…,n1 of n2 +that+v(由动词发出者决定)

3随前一致:
n. + together with       n2+v与n1&n2一致
as well as
including
along with
with / of
accompanied with / by

4就近原则:n1 or n2       +v(就近原则)
either n1 or n2
neither n1 nor n2
eg: He or we are…   Is he or we…?

5可数n1 and 可数n2+v(pl)
不可数n1 and 不可数n2+v(pl)
例外:war and peace is… war and peace是一个整体
表示一个整体的两个名词例外,类似的还有:law and order bread and
butter black and white 
To love and to be loved is …
A lawyer and a teacher are…
A lawyer and teacher is …

6随后原则:not A but B / not only A but also B+v.(与B一致)

7百分比结构:most , half , rest , some , majority , one+persent
of+n1+v.(由n1决定)
数词与谓动无关

8倒装结构的主谓一致:
a)There be +n 由名词决定动词
b)Among , between等介词位于句首引起倒装结构:
Among / Between …+系动词+n. (由名词决定动词)

9The+adj的主谓一致:
a)当表示“一类人”,则+v(pl)
The rich are always ridiculous,
b)当表示某一抽象概念时,则+v(sing)
The good is always attractive.
10To do/doing/主从+v(sing)
*More than one+n(sing)+v(sing)
many a +n.(sing)+v(sing)
a day or two +v(sing)
news不可数,抽象 economics不可数,学科 mumps不可数 species由句意决
定 draughts不可数,跳棋

2. 谓语动词的时态与语态:
时态:一般现在时,一般过去时,现在完成时
prep(in/for/since)→时间→时态→动词形式

      矛盾(考点)
语态问题::只考陈述句,情态动词在TOEFL中永远对,嘘拟语气在TOEFL中也不
太考。
*89-96年的虚拟语气共考过4次:(新题 P91 10 P65 10)
sub+insist / require +that +s+v
sub+make +it+impertive that+sub+v
主被动语态是TOEFL中的重点:句意,by,动词用法。(讲义P3 61)在TOEFL中
have done by一定错

3. 常考的谓语动词:(讲义 58)
①常考主动态的动词:prove: vt+obj / vi+to be +n. / adj.
eg: My advice proved to be wrong. √ (主动表被动)
prove / seem / occur / take place / rank / range / weigh / measure /
date(date back to)…都是主动表被动
②常考被动态动词:(讲义 59)
*locat在TOEFL中常考被动
eg: Bats can locat the obstacles. “确立…位置”
  My school is located near a river.“位于”
*concerned be ~ with
compose be ~ of 
compared be ~ to / with 在TOEFL中to/with一样
noted be ~ for 
based be ~ on
known be ~ for / as / to 
eg: Li Ao is known for his books.
  Li Ao is know as a writer.
  Li Ao is know to us.
 decicated be ~ to do 被用于…、被题词… / to doing 致力于…事业中
 credited be ~ with(因)(被认为)导致了…/有利于…(果)
for 
to (果)归功于…,归因于…(因)
called be ~ …
③主动=被动的词:
hatc=be hatched feed on=be fed on face=be faced with 
need/want/require need doing=need to be done’
④情感动词:(讲义 60)
please annoy move surprise 都有“使…”的意思
please:主动:be ~ing (物)使人高兴的
sht be ~ing
被动:be ~ed (人)被使得高兴
sb be ~ed
move: Franklin is so moved.
The story is so moving.

㈡非谓语动词
1.现在分词与过去分词的区别:
主动 被动→后置定语/状语→90%
进行 完成→前置定语 →10%
动作 状态→不考
eg: the boiled water 开水
  the boiling point 沸点

2.现在分词与过去分词的用法:
⑴可以位于句首/句末做状语,正确与否取决于主被动
句首:Doing…, svo. 主动   (讲义 66)
Done…, svo. 被动
句末:svo, doing… 主动  (讲义 65)
svo,done… 被动

⑵可以位于名词后,做后置定语修饰名词,且等同于定语从句。正确与否取决于
主被动
n+doing… 主动 (讲义 58) … people claming to… 主动
n+done… 被动 (讲义 58) … reports received … 被动
eg: the sites occupied by early human… 被动
*常考的+doing的动词:
mean enjoy finish mind celebrate forgive tolerate suggest 
advocate quit delay avoid escape spend be capable of play a key
 role in keep/prevent from have difficulty in have trouble/a hard
time/a problem in

3.关于不定式的省略用法:
⑴help to do = help do
help sb to do = help sb do
⑵使役动词:let make have bid后的inf必须省to
let sb do make sb do have sb do have sth done bid sb do sth吩咐…
做…
⑶感官动词:see watch notice heat后的inf必须省to
see sb do sth see sb doing 
be seen to do/be seen doing 被动

4. Inf固定用法:
⑴做某事的“第一人”:the first sb to do 
⑵(讲义 68)表“允许”“迫使”的动词后接inf
allow sb to do permit sb to do force sb to do cause sb to do 
enable sb to do 
allow the fruite to ripen
allow the ripening of the fruit
⑶表示“倾向”的形容词或动词后接inf
tend to do attempt to do be more likely to do/that be inclmed to do
 be intended to do be liable/apt to do易于…
⑷表“目的”的名词后接inf做表语
the + purpose / goal / aim / objective / intention / reason /
function+of sth is to do sth
⑸与接不定式的动词或者形容词,同词跟的名词后也接不定式
able to do → ability / enable to do 
decide to do → decision to do 
attempt (v.) to do → attempt(n) to do 
(讲义 71)
be ambitious to do sth → ambition to do sth
try to do → make afforts to do sth

5. Inf的其它形式:
1)将来式:
主动:be to do 
被动:be to be done 
eg: China is to be one of the most important countries in the new
century.
* to be done & done的区别:
the surface to be glaued 表将来
the surface glwed 表完成
2)完成式:
主动:to have done 
被动:to have been done
表示不定式的动作发生在谓语前
eg: I am glad to see you again. 动作同时发生
I am glad to have seen his sons yesterday. am glad表示现在的动作 to
have seen表示昨天的动作
3)The problem is easy to solve.
The problem is difficult to carry out.
在easy difficult hard simple等形容词后的不定式主动表示被动


六、形容词的比较级与最高级:(讲义 P4 74-81)
考点:形容词的词性混用,两个近义形容词的混用(small pressure→low
pressure)(讲义P22 92.5.36),原级、比价级和最高级的混用,词序问题。
1.形容词的比较级与最高级形式上的重复:
eg: more sreater X
most easiest X
lesser…than X
2.形容词比较级与最高级的混用:
⑴more… of all +n(pl)/in the world/among…
这里的more错,more→most

⑵most…than X → more…than
eg: Pennsylvania has the more institutions of higher learning than
any other state.

⑶常考的修饰比价级的词:
a little a bit slightly far (more) much (more) still (more than)
 a lot (more than)
eg: be much abundant in…X → very
so much close to …X → very
much&very:much修饰比较级,very修饰原级,不可以互换
very/much…be   much attracted by…√

⑷形容词原级与比较级的混用:
adj原级…than X → adj.比较级
less+原级…+than
as+原级+as 同级比较

⑸the most often X → most / very often
 more conect X
 more perfect X
绝对/极限形容词或者副词,没有比较级、最高级,如:round vertail othen
 perfect unique empty wrong absolutely等
例外:the most perfect √ 表示极其完美之意,由口语引入到书面语

⑹倍数表达法:
a 倍数+as+a.原级+as
Tom is three times as old as Jerry. (Tom的年龄是Jerry的三倍)
The care is threee times as deep as the building is high.
b 倍数+more than
Tom is twice older than Jerry..
c 倍数+n.+of (名词为比较的方面)
Tom is three times the age of Jerry.
d 倍数+that / those of
His weight is three times that of mine.  That of=as much as

⑺定冠词the与比较级的关系:
Alarska has the lower temperture than Texas. X →Alarska has lower
temperture than Texas.
*比较级前可以加the,.但得有对照,比如:the newer…the older…
eg: The taller boy is much more attractive than the shorten one.
*the +adj-er+of+the two +pl.
eg: Tom is the taller of the two boys.
  Joans is the fatter of the two girlsfriends of Bill’s.

⑻the与最高级的关系:
a Flies live longest in cold weather
副词最高级前通常没有the
b 当形容词最高级做前置定语修饰名词时,加the
the largest school 
c 当形容词最高级做后置定语时,不加the 
a design most similar to that one
d 形容词最高级做表语时,the可加可不加
This is where the river is deepest.
The consumers considers the best fmit (to be) that which is the most
acteacture. that=that fruit,代词

e 所有格可以代替the修饰最高级(讲义 P4 81)

f earliest的三种用法:
1)“早期”,n.
… from the earliest of Tang Dynasty.
2)形容词原级,“很早,非常早”
from earliest times/ages 从远古年代
(可以不加the)
3)形容词最高级
the earliest language(s) is/are…

⑼…or more结构
thirty-five years of age be older X → thirty-five years of age or
older
一英尺以上:an inch or more   √
an inch or more than X
an inch or be in more X

七、平行结构(讲义P4 87-89)
由平衡连接词连接的两个以上的对等对象构成
㈠平衡连接词:
1. 单一式:and but or
2. 短语式:as well as other than rather than instead of would
rather…than instead of
3. 相关式:from…to between…and not…but from…until either…or
(引导从句) weather…or(引导从句) such as as…as the same as 
not only…but also neither…nor

㈡平行式:
1.A and B not A but B A as well as B… 
2.A, B ,and /or C(常考) A,B,as well as C
3.A, B and C(不常考)

㈢平行的性质:一致性问题
1.词性平行(讲义P4 84)
city and regional planning
*在平行结构中,词性必须一致,但是无同义形容词的名词例外,如city没有同
义词(urban不表示“城市的”意思“)
eg:local, state, and national government

2.时态平行:时间决定时态,在平行结构中,时态可以不一致也可以不一致,
如果时间相同,则时态同;时间不同,时态也可以不同。

3.单复数平行:在平行结构中,单复数可以一致也可以不一致,一致与否取决
于客观事实及上下文

4. 结构形式的平行:a.+n doing to do v+obj done

5. 语意的平行:
Dallas,Texas,has become a international hub of
bank,fashion.manufaturing and transportation. X
→bank改为banking (讲义 P20 89.8.35)

6.排列位置的平行:
主语 not only 谓语 but also 谓语
not only+主谓(倒装)+but also 谓语 X → Not only 主谓(倒装)+but
also +主谓 √

八、词性的混用(25条改错中占6-8条)(讲义 90-96)
1. 做表语:n / adj / ad的混用:
表语:限定词+n. / 形容词 / 分词 / 介词+n,可做表语
⑴be+ad. X → be + adj. √
ad,永远不做表语。

⑵be+n.(抽象)→ be+adj.
抽象名词永远不做表语
eg: The books are no use. X 抽象名词不做表语
have no use.√
are not useful.√
are of no use.√ prep+of+抽象名词=形容词

⑶be+n+prep→ be+adj+prep
be fame for X → be famous for √

⑷are typical concerned with X → are concerned with 
be +表语,表语唯一原则,只能用一个表语,出现两个表语,要把一个改为副
词:
be completed closed X → be completely closed

2.做定语,名词与动名词的混用
原则:同义名词比动名词优先
eg: food supplying X  time and laboring X
名词与动名词的区别:(讲义 P5 96)
名词做宾语,其后不可以接宾语。动名词做宾语,其后可以带宾语。
*动名词前可加the,但加the后变成纯粹的名词,因此其后不可以加宾语,常接
of
eg: the learning of English
  the making of any work of art

3.状语引导词与近义介词或者副词的混用:
1)when / which(连词+时间状语)与during / in(介词+宾语)的混用。
*when/which+n.(孤立)X
例外:When/Which (he was) a young man, Humin had several books
published.

生物
3. SQUID
The squid breathes through gills, and may emit a cloud
of inky material from its ink sac when in danger. The
circulatory and nervous systems are highly developed.
The eye of the squid is remarkably similar to that of
man—an example of convergent evolution, as there is
no common ancestor. Some deep-sea forms have
luminescent organs.

4. SEA
The distribution of marine organisms depends on the
chemical and physical properties of seawater
(temperature, salinity, and dissolved nutrients), on
ocean currents (which carry oxygen to subsurface
waters and disperse nutrients, wastes, spores, eggs,
larvae, and plankton), and on penetration of light.
Photosynthetic organisms (plants, algae, and
cyanobacteria), the primary sources of food, exist
only in the photic, or euphotic, zone (to a depth of
about 300 ft/90 m), where light is sufficient for
photosynthesis.

5. 8. 11. ANT
Typically they include three castes: winged, fertile
females, or queens; wingless, infertile females, or
workers; and winged males. Those ordinarily seen are
workers.

Whenever a generation of queens and males matures it
leaves on a mating flight; shortly afterward the males
die, and each fecundated queen returns to earth to
establish a new colony. The queen then bites off or
scrapes off her wings, excavates a chamber, and
proceeds to lay eggs for the rest of her life (up to
15 years), fertilizing most of them with stored sperm.
Females develop from fertilized and males from
unfertilized eggs. The females become queens or
workers, depending on the type of nutrition they
receive. The first-generation larvae are fed by the
queen with her saliva; all develop into workers, which
enlarge the nest and care for the queen and the later
generations

Leaf-cutter Ant’s Feeding Habits: Cultivation is
practiced by certain ants that feed on fungi grown in
the nest. Some of these, called leaf-cutter, or
parasol, ants, carry large pieces of leaf to the nest,
where the macerated leaf tissue is used as a growth
medium for the fungus. Most leaf cutters are tropical,
but the Texas leaf-cutting ant is a serious crop pest
in North America.

Ant Hill: All species show some degree of social
organization; many species nest in a system of
tunnels, or galleries, in the soil, often under a
dome, or hill, of excavated earth, sand, or debris.
Mound-building ants may construct hills up to 5 ft
(1.5 m) high. Other species nest in cavities in dead
wood, in living plant tissue, or in papery nests
attached to twigs or rocks; some invade buildings or
ships.
在寒??的森林地?,地底的?度一般都比?低,因此木?便?大部分的?巢建?在地面上,一方面可?少因地面潮?所??的寒?,另一方面也能增加?光照射的面?。


6. CICADA
Their life cycle takes 17 years in northern species
(the so-called 17-year locusts) and 13 years in
southern species; the two types overlap in parts of
the United States. The female deposits her eggs in
slits that she cuts in young twigs. In about six weeks
the wingless, scaly larvae, or nymphs, drop from the
tree and burrow into the ground, where they remain for
13 or 17 years, feeding on juices sucked from roots.
The nymphs molt periodically as they grow; finally the
full-grown nymphs emerge at night, climb tree trunks
and fences, and shed their last larval skin. The
winged adults, which generally emerge together in
large numbers, live for about one week.
Cicada larvae do little damage, but when adults appear
in large numbers their egg-laying may damage young
trees. Cicadas are sometimes kept for their song in
Asia, as they were in ancient Greece.

14. MANGROVE
Mangroves produce from their trunks aerial roots that
become embedded in the mud and form a tangled network;
this serves both as a prop for the tree and as a means
of aerating the root system. Such roots also form a
base for the deposit of silt and other material
carried by the tides, and thus land is built up which
is gradually invaded by other vegetation. Some
mangrove species lack prop roots but have special
pores on their branching root system for obtaining
air. The mangrove fruit is a conical reddish-brown
berry. Mangroves have been harvested destructively on
a large scale; the bark is a rich source of tannins,
and the wood is used for wharf pilings and other
purposes.

18. GIRAFFE

19. DOLPHIN
The dolphin has a dorsal fin that runs the length of
the body and a forked tail. Their powerful, horizontal
flukes, or tail fins, drive them through or out of the
water, while their forefins and dorsal fin are used
for steering. They feed on a variety of fishes,
especially flying fish, which they sometimes pursue by
leaping out of the water.
The U.S. navy has trained dolphins to act as
messengers to underwater stations, to rescue wounded
scuba divers and protect them from sharks, and to seek
and destroy submarines, using kamikaze methods; this
last project has met with considerable public
criticism.

20. LICHEN
usually slow-growing organism of simple structure,
composed of a fungus (see Fungi) and a photosynthetic
green alga (see algae) or cyanobacteria living
together in a symbiotic relationship and resulting in
a structure that resembles neither constituent.
Lichens commonly grow on rocks, trees, fence posts,
and similar objects. Lichens require no food source
other than light, air, and minerals. They depend
heavily on rainwater for their minerals and are
sensitive to rain-borne pollutants.
Before the discovery of aniline dyes, lichens were
much used for silk and wool dyes. Others have been
used in perfume manufacturing and brewing.

23. BEES
A typical colony consists of three castes: the large
queen, who produces the eggs, many thousands of
workers (sexually undeveloped females), and a few
hundred drones (fertile males). At the tip of a female
bee’s abdomen is a strong, sharp lancet, or sting,
connected to poison glands. In the queen, who stings
only rival queens, the sting is smooth and can be
withdrawn easily; in the worker bee the sting is
barbed and can rarely be withdrawn without tearing the
body of the bee, causing it to die. The workers gather
nectar; make and store honey; build the cells; clean,
ventilate (by fanning their wings), and protect the
hive. They also feed and care for the queen and the
larvae. They communicate with one another (for
example, about the location of flowers) by performing
dances in specific patterns. The workers live for only
about six weeks during the active season, but those

[说明]

对于大部分国际学生和新移民来说,写作最大的问题不是打框架,而是充实框架中的内容。因为,TOEFL写作的套路比较明显,只要我们有了合适的模子,TOEFL作文的框架还是比较容易上手的。快的学生3个小时的课程就解决问题了。但是,用什么样的例子去充实我们的内容,使我们的文章不显空洞呢?中国学生找不到例子,想不出例子是普遍问题。为了帮助大家解决这一问题,我们按照TWE的185个Topics的顺序,将同学们认为最不好写的Topics的思路告诉大家。

本例子集只是想给那些希望短时间内写作得高分的同学起一个抛砖引玉的作用,切不可教条化。同时,假如大家对TWE各Topic的内容有什么好的想法,好的构思,请告诉我们,以便让所有TOEFL考生分享。(给www.EasyEnglish.ca写信)

听力的一点感想(牛人请勿点击)
好久没来灌水了。今天讲几点听力的问题。
记得第一次做题的时候,错了15个,第二次是17个。我的听力基础其实一般,不像某些牛人一上来就错3、5个。

首先要明确一点,就是听力的真题有限,每套都很宝贵,决不能浪费。
如此宝贵的题目做一遍显然是远远不够的。所以对于那些做过的题,有两条路:
要么完全忘掉
要么完全记住
在听第三遍之前,尽量做到忘记。但是当你想忘也忘不了的时候,就尽量记住吧。

千万不要意气用事,因为某套题目做得不好就去听下一套,直到取得满意的成绩。这样的听实际上是在浪费。题目十分有限,所以要做到美听一套题目都要有所收获,只有不断提高才能最终战胜邪恶的ETS

很多错题实际上是由于来不及看选项。对于这个问题,第一就是提高阅读速度,第二就是适应。适应就是预测。听了一半题,你就知道选项的关键词是啥,在一堆杂乱的字幕里面找到那几个关键词,然后再读一遍选项的全文,验证一下。这样来说,12秒就足够了。对于这种预测的感觉,在复习已经做过的题目时着重锻炼一下。例如把间隔时间调短,6秒甚至是3秒

大段子题目在机考中出现的比较多。听的时候如果能把答案在原文中的位置画下来,然后反复听,可能效果会比较好。

无论是机考还是笔考,pp都是很好的一笔财富。一定要多家利用,像对待真题一样对待pp上的题目(其实某种意义上讲,pp也是真题)

最后就是,考前冲刺很重要,考试前一个星期,把随身听呆在耳朵上就不要摘下来,除了换电池外不要让那几个播音员的声音停下来,睡觉也一样。如果有时间再看着文本跟读。有奇效。

我一位校友是二月十号考的,正好与我gre同时考,进考场前我给他鼓气。无奈实力不济,砸在听力上。他的听力是30题,可能有点吃亏。最后听力才16分,总分上限是230,他的作文估计能5.5以上(在蒙特利尔大学上英语,作文课是a+,老师都还特意写信祝贺他作文写得好,因为这在中国人中实属少见。)。靠完后我们找了个咖啡厅,对此进行总结。

1、感觉听力如实力差得太远,技巧也无太大用处。我这位校友年龄比较大,平时做pp2,在每套题都练了三遍以後(而且看了答案後),再做这些做过的pp听力仍要错十几个/套。所以差得太远了。个人感觉pp起码能做到错八个以内方能一搏。否则运气不好碰到听力是30题的可能要倒霉。

2、听力实力真正要涨,一定要走出去,到没有中文得环境去交流,这样对大脑刺激比较大,真正激发你对语言得接受。回首我校友与我得区别,就是到加拿大後训练方法不同,我想这些肯定是造成听力实力的差别。我与他共同的事:大学上课(课堂中国人比较多)、看电视、考前练真题。我比他多做的事:与教会得交流、成人高中(几乎无中国人)上课。一句话,走出去,说得好了,听是小儿科。而且当时课前听真题时,我就感慨真题里好多话,真是我平时想说的,而且总是刮尽肚肠也没表达到如此地道,所以对我刺激比较大,也提高了我得口语。

我校友阅读是55题,看来听力30题阅读就55题,听力49题阅读就44题。

靠完gre回来报到,顺便汇报一下:我的gre final total: 1400 out of 1600。 not good, not bad。感谢大家支持!

如果不嫌弃我就说说我的体会:

比较适用于考完了GMAT, 但没有T基础的机考的朋友。

语法:机考的语法变难,但对我们是好事。笔考的题容易犯不细心的毛病,因为考点太细微。 机考的难题就是,非限定定语从句,-ing分词,独立主格,和句子结构完整性,都是gmat的最基本内容,所以你根本不会错。我考试遇到了不少这样的题。我建议复习只用PP, 做两遍,第一遍找找感觉,第二遍想一下是什么考点。保证没问题。还有做题时,把4个选项看全再选,切记!

阅读:把PP的题都作一遍应该可以,可惜我只做了3套,没有时间。但是机考阅读一定小心,很容易错。有一道插入题,我想肯定错了,如果有多余时间一定检查,但是第一遍一定认真,不能大意。阅读要重视。
笔考的语法,阅读都不用做,和机考两回事,笔考的阅读太简单了。

听力:就是实力。我没实力,没办法。但是只听PP肯定不行,除非你听力平时就好。除非你时间多,可以做新东方的套题。 我用新东方的听力突破的CD, 我觉得不错,又有机考的感觉。多听 长段子,一个人说的那种,考试的时候特多。挑难的长的段子题,一类一起听。

作文:先看都有几类,我看就三类:二选一, yes or no, 一个观点。网上的T魔板其实也用不上,你就自己写。开头,结尾,3个body, 如果把话说清楚了,长度就够了,有400了,没必要用墨板凑字。也不用想着用复杂句子,单词,如果靠过G, 你的句式够复杂了。就是不要犯低级错误,没把握的词千万不要用。很自然的去写,我练了6,7篇,我想够了。千万不要用gmat那种?嗦的开头。如果还不放心就多看几个题目,能想出来3个观点就行。

听力如果要高,就一定多练习,我这两个星期都只在练听力。集中练,提高挺快的。考得不好是因为我的基础差。真的听力可以短期提高的。

JJ 我没有看,没有发言权。

就这些了,谢谢T 区的斑竹为大家做的贡献,我终于也做了点贡献。




czpiaor的TOEFL真经 from GR

真正来讲确实有好多体会,下面句几个例子及一些体会供大家参考:

一、听力细节:
A、一些常用词,以TOEFLPP test1为例:
1. --Hey! Marry, one of my students has decided to stop taking piano lessons from me, I could give you her slot on Tuesday from 8 ~ 9 if you wanted.
--Gee! Maybe I give you a wrong impression, I am not that serious about playing!
What does the woman mean? ?She doesn’t want to take piano lessons.

第一句话中slot在北美很常用,这个用法非常典型,在这儿你熟悉了这个词,今后再碰到slot这个词就很容易理解了。 当然,解这题的方法只要听懂a wrong impression,not that serious about playing就行了。但练习时一定要追究细节,能多学不少东西。尤其一些你知道但没在听力里遇到过的东西,一旦巩固了,你就忘不了了,这也是实力的增长(熟悉老外特定场合的常规说法)。听托福听力时,经常感觉好多话就是自己平时跟老外交流时想表达的东西,但自己说不到如此地道,因此练托福听力,无形中口语水平也涨(还需要出去用)。

B、易混的词
16. ?F: I tried for half an hour to print my paper on that laser printer downstairs, but it kept jamming, do you have any suggestions?
M: That’s news to me. It’s completely reliable for me.
What does the man imply? A: surprise at that the printer does not work.

这是TOEFLPP的变态题:

我第一次听的时候很纳闷,我听成了:That s new to me. It is completely reliable for me.
News 听成了new,因此就有两个答案是对的:1、The man is not familiar with the printer. 2、The man is surprised that the printer does not work.
其实就是自己平时没在听力中遇到news的这种用法,思维定格,反应不到哪儿去。
真正考试中不会有如此tricky的题。

所以在这个得训练上我特别欣赏PP2伴侣(130M http://acezh.51.net/网上有,地址http://131...G苛ν萍觯。。?/a>

历年真题也有如此效果,我错的不多,就不举例了,大家自己体会。

历年真题是最好的英语教材,他的听力部分涉及北美生活的方方面面,你全练好了,水平也就涨了(当然一定要分析,吸收,不能看一下,再听能听出来就完了。特定的词跟特定的表达法、场合都有关系)。

二、熟悉ETS套路,熟悉他出题方法(老外做事比较古板,你看他们的作文就知道了,简直就是八股文。他们平时做事也是如此,都有固定的方法--procedure or process。所以他出题肯定也有固定套路,我没总结。)

总结前人的方法,我认为最好就是听写真题。但我认为不必全听写,集中听写一部分就行了,如2000年以后的真题。搞通一部分,听力就会上一台阶。

三、对于北美托友,我觉得优势太大了,一定要全方位利用北美优势。
泛听:每天看电视(肥皂剧),看字幕。找老外对话(刚开始会比较痛苦,我很内向,也坚持下来了。去教堂会比较好。),参加ESL班,大学听课。一定每天都要有类似活动。
精听:还是历年真题。(简直太优美,太地道了。)

我听力没能满分,估计一是真题练的不够,对ETS套路不熟;二是好多题型没练习过;还有就是刚开始状态不好。

我的一年半听力历程(Montreal):
二个月:听力一塌糊涂,不敢出门。去银行存钱简直要我的命,还是同学老婆陪着去的。
二个月:上成人高中英语班,课程巨简单,但起码每天得听三小时。
二个月:法语班(COFI),老师用英语讲法语,大喜。此时我听力已好过其他同学
十个月:进大学研究生院念书(非master,是diploma),每星期几堂课必听。後遇上摩门教传教士(正宗美国鬼子),热情传教,听他们讲经及各种交往。长进巨大。每天看电视新闻。
二个月:闭门修炼GRE,听力略退。
2003年一月份八天:做真题(2000-2001全部)。本打算2002也做,后发现应做PP2,放弃2002真题,做了两套PP2的Test。

四、提高阅读对听力有帮助。
以前,我一听老外长句子就晕,一段对话超过三句就要对老外pardon了。现在则不同了,老外边讲我边吸收,这绝对是两个境界。
我觉得是大脑思维发生的变化。老外的思维更我们是不同的,我记得以前看英文复杂句(比如托福阅读),一句话看过去,没生词,但意思反应不到大脑,要再看一边,再看一边,意思才进大脑。这就是大脑不适应老外的思维。现在看文章,不用回头,句子中有几个生词也无妨。这大概是大脑适应了英文的思路。这主要得益于GRE的杨鹏难句。而大脑的此变化无疑对听力是如虎添翼。现在上课友谊门中国老师的课,口音特重,我听完他一句话,我能有时间分析他引发歪的那个词,还不影响听下一句。我想大家应能明白我的意思了。说了这么多,好像我听力只有27还无此资格,大家只当不同言论吧。

可以说我的听力是长期积累的结果,记得一年前做过一套真题(97年),听力错5个,但那时候,段子听不懂。这次复习做第一套真题时,也是错5个,但内容是全听懂了,只是范了一些技术错误,或是理解与ETS有误。做了几套後就快速提高了(2-3个)。

最后还是劝大家好好利用真题,要充分的利用,不仅搞懂题,还要有所收获。
听力真题------最好的教材(口语+听力)。

p 弟弟妹妹:
I took test last month and find it is not hard to take CBT compare with paper-based test. Please I am sure most of you will have great score than me... I am just 250...

Here is my suggestion, if you believe so:

1. Don&#39;t pay too much on JJ here, because you will have no time to think about JJ. But I would suggest to have a look JJ so that you may got familar with the topic. Especially for Listening part.

2. It is really usuful to maximaze the use of PP!!! I found most of topic are there!

3. Give much attention to Structure/Written part!! For me, I did not have high score on S but my TWE is 6, so I go at least 66 on this part... this is so much on total...

4. Fina a good or any kind of Mo Ban on written, if you can not find it, go to GMAT part to find it (ISSUE). It is almost the same. And get every sample topic -you can find on Asir&#39;s post...You should have at least 3 factors to address and 5 para..you will get at least 5

echo118的经验 from GTER

其实我觉得,delta的比实际考试还要简单一些,操练delata主要是熟悉暴多的题,我是月底考的,所以阅读遇到55题。
做过很多套软件,我觉得剑桥的长对话很好,因为每个lecture基本上有5分钟,这样可以拉长你的注意力,具体是叫什么名字,我过几天查到再给你说,还有,有个叫TOEFL MASTERY的软件,阅读很不错,建议有机会买来做做。
关于语法,我提高的经验是坐真题,然后每次把做错的题抄在一个小本子上,这样可以保证你错的题不会再错,愈发是最好提高的,你不要担心
至于听力,把pp好好听个5边,做到27,基本上实际考试24就没有问题了,还有,最后两周冲刺时,每天起码听力要保证在3小时,看新闻,听广播有助于集中你的focus.

阅读小建议——a piece of shit,忙人请勿点击

作者 filestorm

总是听网友说阅读全都读懂了,但是做不对。特地在此提点感想,希望能对迷茫的朋友有点帮助。

先说国内和国外考试的区别。想必大家在国内考了N年,从中考高考四六八级一直往上爬。对阅读有点感触了吧。但是我总觉得国内的英语考试的阅读部分,任务是让你找“正确的”,而Toefl考试,其任务是让你找“错误的”。这两东西有本质区别。

实不相瞒,在学校我曾经一度被老师拉着补课。阅读就是大问题。国内的考试似乎每个选项都是正确的。我也一直纳闷,为什么在讲评试卷的时候,老师总能拿出一些蛋b的理论来支持答案?所以做这种题目我是越做越窝火。


TOEFL则是另一种思维,它的每个选项都有自己的道理。或者换句话说,这种考试比那帮Chinglish专家们出的有中国特色的英语卷子更公正。每个题目中,所有的正确/错误答案,都可以在原文中找到明显的对应。请一定记住,每个答案都有明确地在原文中的对应。对有对的道理,错也有错的道理。如果你和标准答案不一样,那么只有两种非常明显的情况,要么明显是你错了,要么明显是答案印错了。绝不会出现公说公有理婆说婆有理的局面。


记住这一点以后,对那些越读错的比较多的朋友,希望你们能够在做完一套题之后及时地review,把所有50个题目的全部200个选项,都在文中找出来直接对应,哪怕是做对的题也要如此。(推荐1998年以后的题,因为难度接近现在)如果能认认真真这样弄完一个年度,剩下的阅读对你来说就仅仅是词汇问题了。


最新机考的一些经验
作者 iaojin

7月25日多伦多机考,我的成绩是24,12-30,28,总分是217-273,题型时49,20,44。下面是一些小小的经验,希望对大家有帮助。
1,听力,对中国人来说是最难得,我刚开始复习的时候,只能做对一半,预计目标是22分,2次考试都超过了它,真得很高兴。我用的是笨办法听写,短对话全部听写,反复听直到写下来为止(大概4-5遍),实在挺不懂得才查看scription,长对话及lecture,各抽一篇听写。大概过程就是这样,贵在坚持,开始花的时间是很长的,渐渐就快了,效果不错。
2,语法,复习起来较简单,就是反复作真题,找出经常出错的地方(往往惊人的重复),分析原因,查语法书,争取下次不要再出错。
3,阅读我也走了一段弯路,第1次认为是自己的强项,未引起重视,结果只考了23分,让我大失所望,分析原因,一个是单词不够熟,第2是阅读看起来容易,做起来难,要认真对待。我把新东方的《托福词频统计》月1800个单词认真地背了7-8遍,最后大概有100个左右实在记不住就算了。然后是反复作真题,找出出题的规律,我想可以搞定。
4,pp一定要反复做,我一共做了4遍,网上有一个PPreview真不错,可以把pp的10套题都变出来,还有答案和原文,你可以去当。

考托福必读/ 托福考试机考360度全方位指南手册

考托福必读/ 托福考试机考360度全方位指南手册

Part 1

Before study TOEFL, you need to pay attention to the following several points:


1。决不可抱侥幸心理--有人觉得区mcmaster只需197(最低),于是觉得很轻松容易,就不太想刻苦,总以为197很好考,这次没过只是失误,下次多考一回,就肯定过了。这种侥幸心理会叫人遗憾终生。必须对自己有责任感,决不可放松。

2。必须经下心来努力刻苦用功--说多了什么经验技巧都没用,如果你单词量就1000,2000,你怎么谈技巧〉?有人每晚睡不着觉,以碰到朋友就诉苦,说 哎呀 好烦,为什么每次都差一点点??其实他没有付出心血。必须经下心来,背单词,做题。这是无数考托福人的必经之路,没有捷径--你必须这么告诉自己说。

3。别以为英文水平会自动提高--有人认为,本身在加拿大生活,学习,就是对英文的一种磨练和提高,并且希望在不知不觉当中 英文就突飞猛进,以至托福也会突飞猛进。其实这种想法很愚昧,不知大家是否赞同我的观点:托福是托福,学校的英文课是学校的英文课,平时生活用语是生活用语。切不可将其混淆,否则会耽误自己,耽误前途,后悔莫及,遗憾终生。

4。目标远一些--无数的老师都这样叫到我们:如果你目标就订到200,你可能只能考到180,190。

5。不要听高分者或低分着胡言乱语--我以前听一个考了620的人说托福,他说平时也没刻苦系统的学托福,就考试前几天做了几套题。当时我也按照这个去做,结果发现考试前自己真是个白吃。


我希望自己是个诚实的人,以上是我自己的切身体会,傻瓜的是我,惆怅的是我,痛苦的也是我,遗憾的也是我。希望大家多多努力。

如果这几条对各位有一些警告,也算没有浪费一个斑竹的名额,一个傻瓜斑竹的希望。

托福考试机考360度全方位指南手册


倾情奉献之托福机考手册
THE FOLLOWING INformATION IS TRANSFERED FROM 寄托天下
(IT IS NECESSARY FOR THOSE WHO WILL TAKE COMPUTER-BASED TOEFL EXAME, THEREFORE I&#39;LL SEND IT AGAIN )

一、机考过程




1。简介

托福机考包括听力,语法,阅读,写作四大部分,与传统的笔试相比有一些不同之处。在过
去的托福笔试中,是由正确答案的数量决定成绩总分。而在托福机考中,听力和语法部分,
电脑将根据回答问题的质量来给出问题。如果考生回答正确,电脑将提高问题的难度;如果
考生回答错误,电脑将降低问题的难度。成绩是由正确答案的难度来决定得分,而不是正确
答案的数量。

托福机考好处是考试时间可以变通,在一个calendar月可以考一次,随时可以报名,但建议
提早报名,因为位置有限。托福机考还有一个好处就是可迅速得到考试成绩,在考试完毕即
可得到一个成绩范围,如果是键盘输入作文,两周之后就可以得到正式成绩。如果用笔答,
要慢一些。

托福机考满分为300分,相当于笔试的677分。考试结束之后,屏幕会出现分数范围,这是因
为作文的成绩还不定。如果对分数不满意,可以选择取消成绩。如果选择确认,之后还要选
择免费寄送成绩的四所学校,最好考试前认真选好,需要知道学校的名字,所在的洲名。


2。ETS的Bulletin

在考试之前,手上必备一本ETS的有关托福机考的小册子,里面有关于托福机考的详细介绍,
名字是“TOEFL&nbspInformation&nbspBulletin&nbspfor&nbspComputer-Based&nbspTesting”。这本Bulletin
可以在当地的ETS考试中心或者各种TOEFL培训中心得到,是免费的。也可以从网上下载,下
载地址:
http://www.toefl.org/pubs/dnldbltn.html#cbtbltn

ftp://ftp.ets.org/pub/toefl/993006.pdf


3。托福机考报名:

**电话报名:

如果你已经在美国,可以直接打电话给就近的ETS考试中心,地址和电话号码可以从Bulletin
的P44-45查到,或者Call 1-800-468-6335。在美国之外的国家,可以Call 1-443-751-
4862。
报名需要提供的信息:
1)姓名
2)生日
3)家庭住址
4)信誉卡号码和期满日期,信誉卡可以是VISA,MasterCard,or American Express
credit card。
提供这些信息之后,对方会跟你商量一个合适的考试日期,并给你一个16位的Appointment
Number,同时告诉你考试中心的地址,如何到达等。

如果你事先没有预约,但哪一天你突然心血来潮想考试,你可以直接去考试中心,如果有位
置,当天就可以考试。除了需要提供以上信息之外,还要带上你的护照或者其他带照片的有
效证件。

** 更改考试日期或者取消考试

如果你觉得考试日期不合适,或者想取消考试,必须在距考试日期3个工作日之前打电话到你
预约的考试中心,或者Call 1-800-468-6335,费用是40?匦胩峁┬彰??ppointment
Number。

4。托福机考的结构和记分方法:

1)Listening:
Part A ( short conversations) 11—17 questions
Part B (6 to 9 lectures and long conversations) 16—45 questions

Total : 30—50 questions
Time : 40—60 minutes
score : 30

2) Structu
Sentence Completion and Error Identification 20—25 questions

Total : 20—25 questions
Time : 15—20 minutes
score : 12—13

3) Reading:

4 to 5 passages 10—13 questions each

Total : 44—60 questions
Time : 70—90 minutes
score : 30

4) Writing:

1 written essay

Time : 30 minutes
score : 17—18

其中语法和写作部分合在一起为30分。

最后得分=(听力+语法+作文折合分数+阅读)/3×10



5。机考过程:

* 提前半小时到考场,如果晚了就会被取消考试,费用不退。
* 把带的东西存入柜子,去晚有可能没有空余的柜子了。把柜子锁 上,带着钥匙和护照。
* 抄誓言,抄完之后等待监考人员喊你的名字
* 进入考场,在表上登记。把护照交给监考人员,核对你的姓名,生日,签名。还要核对家
庭住址,Appointment Number。
* 照一张类似通缉犯的相,不过尽量照的好一点,因为这张照片要印在TOEFL的正式成绩单
上,所以要给将来审你材料的大学教授一个好的印象。
* 监考人员给你指定考试位置。
* 这时你的照片,姓名,生日,Appointment Number都会显示在电脑屏幕上,切记一定要仔
细检查是否正确,避免以后麻烦。
* 进入练习部分,学习怎样使用鼠标和键盘,虽然大家都对电脑很熟,但这部分最好不要跳
过,能趁机调整自己的状态。
* 然后进入听力部分
* 语法部分
* 休息5分钟,出去之前要签名。最好吃点高能的东西,补充一下大脑,还要自己带瓶水,有
的考试中心不供水。注意掌握时间,别超时,进去之前还要签名
* 这时候监考人员会给几根铅笔,草纸和像皮,为阅读和写作做准备。听力和语法部分不允
许记笔记的。
* 阅读答完之后,是作文部分,可以选择是键盘输入还是手写。如果选择手写,这时需要跟
监考人员会索要专门的纸“TOEFL CBT Handwritten Essay form。”答在别的纸上一律无
效。
* 作文答完之后,出现一个分数范围,如果不满意,可以取消
* 选四所学校送分,大家事先选好学校,别浪费了免费送分的机会。
* 调查,可做可不做。
* 结束
* 把草稿纸和笔还给监考人员,签名出去。

(http://www.toefl.org/toeflsup/tflsrrf.html

具体步骤如下:http://www.gter.net/bbs/showthread....&threadid=59789



二。托福机考复习策略:

1。听力部分:

以历年的真题和PP为主,要反复听。玉米糊曾经说过,如果把听力的真题都背下来,那听力
部分得高分是不成问题的。但笔试同机考不完全一样,笔试可以事先看到所有的问题,然后
再听,而机考必须听完所有内容才能看见题目。所以机考的T友在复习真题时就要按照机考的
路子来复习,做每一题时,要先认真地听,听完再看问题,再选择。还有就是机考加大了难
度,有双选题和排序题,听的时候必须注意细节才能答好,光听懂大概意思不行,这就要求
平时练习的时候,多注意听细节的东西。但机考听力的好处是时间比较充裕,各题所用时间
可以自己调节。

2。语法部分:

建议做题前仔细看一遍《托福高分语法》,这本书说的很详细。网上可以下载。然后把真题
认真做一遍,错的对照水妖的《语法笔记》,争取下次一定不错。最后做PP,机考的语法有
难度,不是很轻易就能拿满分的。

3。阅读部分:

单词量是关键,没考过G的T友,一定要扎扎实实地先把单词背好,如果单词背好了,阅读的
词汇题就是送分的题。建议使用胡敏的《最新TOEFL词汇精选》。阅读机考同笔试相比,新增
了一种新题型,就是插句子题,比较难,需要对把握整篇文章的脉落。好在机考时间比较充
裕,建议先将文章仔细看一遍,再做题。如果时间来得及,把真题阅读仔细做一遍,遇到不
会的单词,背下来。如果时间紧,就一PP为主。注意阅读回答问题的原则是“Always
based on the article , even though you think it is unreasonable. Never take
for granted 。”

4。作文部分:(参考《TOEFL作文突破》陆乃圣 主编)

1)作文要切题

为了确保作文的整体质量,首先要做到文章必须切题。这似乎已经超出英文的范围,只是一
种思维方式,其实不然。道理很简单:文章要切题,最重要的是看懂英文作文题目。题目看
不懂,或者理解错误,那么你的作文写的再好,也是不切题的。

2)结构要严谨

除了切题以外,确保托福作文整体质量的另外一个主要方面是“结构严谨,条理清楚”。最
实效的方法就是“五段法”。
第一段:Position & Three Reasons
第二段:Unfolding of Reason 1
第三段:Unfolding of Reason 2
第四段:Unfolding of Reason 3
第五段:Repetition of Position

3)条理要清楚

要想用好“五段法”,关键在于“三条理由”。不管遇到什么题目,都要想出三条理由来。
有了三条理由,整篇文章的段落和构思也就基本完成了,余下来的任务就是如何去扩展思
想。

4)分段要合理

如果你能够按照上述方法去写作文,那么你的文章就能达到:观点明确,理由充足,阐述清
晰,前后呼应,字数符合要求,为250-300字。

建议使用陆乃圣的《TOEFL 作文突破》,胡敏的绿皮作文书《TOEFL 高分作文》,后者网上
可以下载。

网上能当ETS给出的185个作文题目及范文。虽然是185个题目,但我发现考试基本是从155个
作文范文中出。机考作文有四种类型:

AD Agreeing or Disagreeing 33%
PR Stating a Preference 34%
EX Giving an Explanation 22%
MA Making an Argument 11%

四种类型最好每种各写一篇,考前最好把185个题目过一遍,想出三条理由,考试时现想来不
及。
————————————————————————————


**以下是一位T友写的复习策略,由chusuifeng提供:

托福机考要得高分,重点在听力和作文上。听力比笔试要难一些。由于作文在总分中比重较
大,如果作问分数在4.0以下,总分上600比较困难,除非你听力和阅读很牛,语法没什么可
说的,尽量满分。我复习托福时间较短,没法将所有习题全做掉,所以把重点放在了听力和
语法上。我从普林斯顿样题开始,把95年8月到2000年1月的所有笔试题以每天2套题的速度做
了一遍,主要做听力和语法,阅读只做了2套。听力每天4-5小时,做完一套后,做对的再全
部听一遍,做错的题反复听,实在听不懂再看答案,将小词和不熟悉的短语抄下来背诵。对
自己不熟悉和出错多的段子题和长对话反复听,直到弄明白为止。我参考书用的是新东方的
TOEFL听力笔记。语法也是做完之后,对照新东方的TOEFL语法笔记,每道题过一遍,做错的
记下语法点。隔2天就把以前做错的再复习一下,98年以后的题没有参考书,主要是通过自己
分析,结合以前的经验,把错误的地方弄懂。阅读没做是因为实在没时间,不过我还是把张
宏岩的托福词汇精选翻了翻,感觉很多GRE单词,不过到最后也没看完一遍,考前最后一个星
期主要做99年8月之后的三套新题,和TOEFL POWERPREP。

POWERPREP对准备机考非常重要,题型和套路与机考非常类似,是考前必做的模考。为了练习
更多的习题,我在模考二次以后,又反复做了10 遍。因为每次做的题都不完全相同,这样可
以尽可能地将软件中的题做到。对PP中的阅读我没有放过,主要是为了找感觉。不过实际
考试中没有一道软件中的题,这和GRE PP2不同。

我本来想联系写2篇作文,但后来一懒,改成背2篇范文了。把TOEFL填空补式作文法看
了几遍,就仓促上阵了。

————————————————————————————


**说明一点,上面那个T友考T时可能还没有PP解密。PP解密的好处就是打开了整个PP的题
库,可以做到每一题。在这里要感谢may33,她将PP解密中的听力部分test1,test2制成mp3
文件,还有相应题目的PDF文件,这样不必运行PP解密就可以做到PP中所有的听力题。同时她
还将语法部分的所有题目制成了PDF文件,还有阅读部分我忘了那位T友的网名,她将阅读部
分的所有文章制成了精美的Word文件。还要感谢Acezh,他制作了PP伴侣,虽然我没有机会用
了,但听后来的T友说特别好用。所有这些都可以在Acezh.51.net这个网站上下载,这是
Acezh搭的托福资料的网站,我们考过T的人几乎都得益于他的帮助。

参考水妖的《TOEFL5月备考手册》:http://sirenisland.com





三。托福机考注意事项:(此部分由一位T友提供,在此感谢!)



1。听力耳机问题

我的考场,耳机是能物理调节声音的(旋钮在两个大耳套的外侧),如果你的耳机也能调声
音,建议在ETS考试软件里调声音的时候,把软件音量调到最大(即那个向上箭头变成灰色为
止,这样的话以后用旋钮调节就能达到100%的音量),然后你就有最大的自由度用耳机上的旋
钮来调节声音了。旋钮调节声音到适中,不能太大也不能太小,然后进入第一题。 [color]


2。短听力对策

我虽然很菜,但我觉得那天短听力做得还不错,主要是注意了一点,因为听力时间充裕,所
以建议,每听完一道短听力,不要急于进入下一道,先稳定一下情绪,很多时候点得太快,
会觉得里面的声音突然跳出来,结果没听清。还有一点,一般来说,你做听力的时候,旁边
会有几位GMAT高手在写作文,我那天进考场比较晚,我的策略是"拖",就一直赖在教程部
分,本来准备等作文之声完全消失才正式开始,但后来实在等不及了,就开始了,你是不是
要拖,就看你的耐性或者你是否根本不在乎外界声音的影响。


3。结构

我准备结构1天时间,做了98.01到02.05的全部题目+4套普林斯顿样题,Toefl PowerPrep
里的语法结构我没有做,只模过一次,模出来11-28,很令人沮丧,后来准备的时候,一套一
套笔考题做下去,都不计时间,每一题搞懂为何错,最多的时候98.01那一套错6道,01年以
后就不怎么错了。

4。作文的14条万能理由

5.考试模式(两种A和

项目 听力 语法 阅读 写作

最后得分=(听力+语法+作文折合分数+阅读)/3×10
我碰到的是A模式30+25+55
四个部分的考试,每一个部分的前面都会有一个”HOW TO ANSWER”的鼠标使用教程和一个
该部分的”Directions”,非常重要的是你可以在”教程”里花任意长的时间,只要你愿
意,但是你绝对不能在”Directions”里花超过1秒的时间,一旦进入”Directions”,马
上揿右上角的”Dismiss Directions”,因为你阅读”Directions”的时间是计算在你消
耗的做题时间里的,切记切记。
听力前10道是短对话(如果是B模式,可能不止10道),短对话一个回合(即一男一女各说一句)
的只有1-3题,大多数为2-3个回合,后面的听力是长对话与演讲交错出现。
语法和作文加起来30分=12+18 或者=13+17,我语法25题全对得13分,由此我推出我作文最
多17分。
听力和语法部分是计算机自适应的,就是说,做完一题,确认后进入下一题,永远将不能返
回到前一道做过的题目。
阅读部分是可以返回到已做过的任何一道题目的,但是每篇文章的第一题,做的时候不要
蒙,好像计算机会记录你是读过文章再做题目的,还是没读文章就选答案的。


6。关于模考官方软件Toefl PowerPrep

破解文件ppl.exe是用来做Toefl PowerPrep里面的每一道题目的,如果不用ppl.exe,你只
能随机抽取题目来做。补丁文件ITEMDISP.dll,是用来替换C:TSPPTOEFLPPREPR目录下
的同名文件的,替换后可以消除做语法结构时的乱码。Toefl PowerPrep最好安装在默认目
录,最好安装在基于NT技术的Windows操作系统中,例如Win NT 4,Win 2K,Win XP;因为
这个Toefl PowerPrep软件写的不是很好,运行的时候,经常出错发生程序死锁,对付的办
法是,在程序死掉后,按下Ctrl-Alt-Del调用任务管理器,杀死线程列表里的NTVDM.EXE这
个线程,就不用重启机器了。


7。耳塞

应该就是木工工作时用的那种耳塞,泡沫海绵做的,先挤压使之体积变小,再塞入耳朵,过
一会儿,就会自动膨胀,塞满耳朵,隔音效果很好,听力部分做完以后,就可以用了。


8。Break,草稿纸与作文纸

在做完了第二部分语法结构以后,你可以签名后离开考场休息5分钟,可以利用这段时间在外
面的休息室吃点喝点,再看一下自己带来的材料,比如作文的14条万能理由什么的。时间差
不多,签名进入考场的时候别忘了问监考人员要草稿纸,前面两个部分是不允许用草稿纸
的,但是后面两个部分可以用。可以利用阅读前面的”教程”这段时间,在草稿纸上,写一
些比如14万能理由之类的东西,以防等会儿作文时太紧张,想不出理由。写这些东西时,稍
微注意一点,因为有可能多事的监考会管你,但是我没有碰到这样的监考。阅读部分如果做
完又检查完,还有充足的时间的话,可以把阅读文章里的一些好的词汇,词组,句子抄到草
稿纸上,等会儿作文的时候,说不定可以派上用场。作文可以选纸笔输入和键盘输入。纸笔
输入的优点是有可能在超时后继续写下去,直到监考记起来你的时间到了,但是这个好处太
随机了,不一定会有,说不定监考时间卡得比较紧,就变成坏处了,纸笔输入的缺点是,卷
面书法可能会影响评卷人,而且要很久才能拿到最后的成绩报告。键盘输入的优点是可编辑
性强,你甚至可以先写好开头段落和结尾段落,然后再写中间几段陈述理由,另外速度快,
一个是输入速度(当然你如果是键盘熟手的话),另一个是,考试成绩也会在3周内到达;缺点
是时间由计算机控制,倒计时结束后,你没有可能再输入任何东西。推荐选用键盘输入。如
果你要选用纸笔输入的话,一定要向,监考索要作文纸,而不能写在草稿纸上。

胡敏TOEFL高分作文四大策略

胡敏TOEFL高分作文四大策略

写作是测试语言能力的重要方式,TOEFL考试自1987年起增加了写作测试,原因是美国的大专院校普遍反应单纯的客观题测试不能全面综合地反映考生的英语语言能力。目前大多数美国院校要求申请入学的学生提供TWE(Test of Written English)即写作考试的成绩,一般要求是在5分以上,而一些名校的要求会高达满分6分,由此可见,托福作文的成绩会在极大程度上影响申请者最后进入的学校和取得奖学金的数额。
  据有关资料统计,我国考生的托福写作成绩平均在3.5分左右,作文已成为广大考生在留学路途中一个难以突破的瓶颈。有没有可能在短期内提高写作成绩呢?答案是肯定的。本文不仅要帮助考生在短期内突破写作瓶颈,而且要提高考生的写作技巧和写作质量,从而为有志赴海外留学的莘莘学子助一臂之力。

  TOEFL高分作文的奥秘何在?笔者认为,考生误码从以下四点入手,即:内容简单化、结构模式化、语言要包装、考前要强化。

  一、内容简单化

  内容简单化是考生在构思托福作文时应遵循的原则。考生不论是在练习时还是在考场上都应当牢记这一点。许多考生在作文上败下阵来就是因为花费了大量的时间和精力追求内容的新颖别致。ETS出托福作文试题时特别注意选择一些弹性不是很大的题目,因为托福考试作为一种语言测试方式,其重点在于测试考生英语语言水平,它不像GMAT和GRE这类智商型考试那样测试考生逻辑思辩的能力;如果设置弹性较大的题目,评卷人在评分时就不容易把握。事实上,托福作文考试的内容并不会给评卷人留下太深的影响,参阅任何一本托福指南书的考生都可以发现书中范文的内容不会有太多新意,评卷人评判的是考生的文能力,考生在构思时只要保证自己的内容符合逻辑,能够言之有理、言之成理、切题即可,然后把更多的注意力放在如何追求语言的得体性上;有的考生在考场上绞尽脑汁,想要找出些绝妙的内容来吸引评卷人的特别关注,结果往往是花费了十分的心思只得到一分的回报,有时反而会弄巧成拙,使评卷人的注意力转移方向,影响得分。在考场上,笔者认为考生在构思内容上所花的时间不应超过5分钟,在认真读题并将其理解透彻以后,考生可以在试卷题目下方的空白处列一个简短的提纲,用中文即可,以此作为写作过程中内容的提示,在提笔开始写作的过程中就可将重点放在保证语言的流畅得体上,不会因为内容而中断思路。

  二、结构模式化

  TOEFL高分作文的第二大策略是结构模式化,这也是最核心的一条策略。通览以往的TOEFL作文考题,细心的考生不难发现,托福作文考题不仅题目弹性很小,而且题型相结稳定,这就为考生在短期内提高作文分数创造了一个条件,使考生完全可以在考前针对考试中可能出现的题型按照固定的结构模式进行训练。TOEFL作文考题从语言形式上可大致分为三个类型,第一种为二选一,即题目给出两种观点,问考生倾向于哪一种观点,但近两年这类题目转向隐蔽化,考生要学会“拨云见日”,将隐蔽的题目转化成熟悉的题型。例如1998年5月的托福作文题目:你朋友有一笔钱,你认为是应该用这笔钱买车还是度假,这就是典型的隐蔽化的二选一题型,可以转化为:一些人认为,你朋友应该用这笔钱买车,而另一些人认为你朋友应用这笔钱度假,你同意哪一种观点。第二种题型是提出一个观点,问考生同意与否。1998年8月的考题就属这一类型,题目说向朋友借钱会影响朋友之间的友谊,问考生是否同意这一观点。第三种题型是要考生在题目所给的若干事物中选出一种说明其某种特性。观察近年的TOEFL作文考试可以看出,每年每种题型都会出现一次。

  固定的题型自然有较为固定的模式与之相配,下面笔者将详细解释前两种题型的结构模式。二选一的题型有三种结构模式,一是一边倒的结构模式,即考生完全倾向于一种观点。这一模式又可分为两种,一边倒和修正型一边倒。一边倒是说考生在文章中完全同意一种观点,这种写法的优点在于思维单一,只需要列举几个理由,并展开讨论,不会由于内容复杂而产生逻辑的混乱,而缺点在于相对单一的内容会使考生觉得没有太多话可写。修正型一边倒的写法是指考生即可以写赞成这种观点的理由,也可以谈反对它的理由,但由于赞成的理由多于反对的理由,所以最终考生还是同意这一种观点。这种写法显出考生的态度较为客观,不武断,而且从正反两方面谈,考生写起来会觉得可写的内容较多。第二种二选一题型的结构模式是折衷的写法。考生可以先写赞成一种观点的几点理由,接着写赞成另一种观点的理由,最后考生就自己的情况,明确表示最终赞成哪一种观点。有人可能会提出质疑,说题目要考生明确表示自己倾向何种观点,这种既说甲好又说乙好的折衷写法是不是跑题。事实是,这种写法不仅符合题意,而且是最符合实际情况的。所以,在考试中完全可行。如有这样一道题目,一些人认为公司应当雇用年轻、有朝气和创造力的职员,而另一些人认为应当雇用有资历、有经验的老职员,你同意哪一种观点。针对这一题目,有一个考生写道:在雇用职员时常常会发生争论,有人认为应雇用年轻、有朝气和创造力的职员,而另外一些人觉得要雇用年龄大、资历老且有经验的职员。赞成雇用年轻职员的人通常会列举这样的理由:……,而赞成雇用年老职员的人会说:……,假如我是一个广告公司的经理,就我的实际情况而言,在雇用策划人员时,我会选择年轻职员,因为…,而在管理阶层,我会选择一些有经验的老职员……。这篇作文在实际TOEFL考试中的得分是6分。二选一的题目还可以这样写:先说赞成一种观点的理由,再说不赞成这种观点的理由,就个人而言,比较倾向另一种观点并陈述理由。第二种题型的结构模式相对简单得多。针对提出的一种观点问考生同意与否这种题型,考生应在第一段里明确表态是同意还是不同意题目所给观点,然后用二到三个自然段举例来支持自己的态度,最后一段做一小结,并再次表明自己的态度。这种题型的诀窍在于凭例证和事实说话,但考生要学会提炼事实不要在文章中讲一个冗长的故事,因为考试有时间和字数的限制。有考生也许会问,既然结构模式化是TOEFL高分作文的核心策略,那么有没有一种以不变应万变的固定模式来对付所有的作文题型呢?考生可以尝试这种模式:即先提出自己某观点或事物的看法,然后列举理由,最后得出结论,事实上就是在写议论文时常用的三大块结构,但考生要根据具体情况具体分析,绝不可以机械地生搬硬套,这样反而会影响成绩。

  三、语言要包装

  做到内容简单化和结构模式化,考生就已经向TOEFL高分作文的目标迈进了一大步,如果考生还能在语言的细节上下一些功夫,TOEFL作文的分数就会更上一层楼,这也就是我们接下来要谈的第三大策略:语言要包装。前面我们已经说过,TOEFL作文的测试重点是考生的语言能力,因而在语言细节上下一点功夫就可以让考生展示自己的语言修养。作文中语言的包装主要应从以下六点入手。首先是语法方面的包装。考生要注意在作文中选取一个中心时态,通常选取一般现在时即可,但在陈述具体例证时要根据不同的情况变换时态。TOEFL明确要求高分作文的句子要做到多样化,所以最好不要全盘使用简单句,这样会降低文章的层次、复杂句和简单句应在文章中交叉出现,而对一些描述性的例证以及临时想起的内容可以使用简单句。词汇的包装是个较为艰巨的过程,但单从TOEFL应试的角度而言,考生可以精选一些TOEFL高分作文学习,吸取其中的语言营养,对其中的用词进行细致的研究和模仿,在练习时尽量使用范文中一些常用的优秀词汇。语言庖装的第三点是注意文化移入,TOEFL作文的评卷人与考生来自完全不同的文化背景,许多考生认为正常的习惯表达法也许是评卷人根本无法理解的,所以这种跨文化的交际行为具有危险性,考生如果把握不好会起到反作用。应当尽量避免使用带有比喻色彩的修辞手法,因为喻体的不同会带来文化理解的问题,举一个最简单的例子,中国人在形容非常着急时常常比喻说就像“热锅上的蚂蚁”,但如果在和文中出现“ants on a hot stove”,TOEFL的评卷人不会明白是什么意思,西方对应的说法是“a cat on hot bricks”(滚烫的砖块上的猫)。在文化移入方面也有一些成功的例子可供借鉴,考生在文章中可以使用一些中国历史或典故,但前提条件是考生可以用英文将其解释清楚,这样不仅可以向评卷人展示自己的语言解释能力,还可以通过这种文化移入行为博得评卷人的好感。同样在引用名人名言时考生也要特别注意:中国人习惯用别人说的话来证明自己的观点,而西方人引用名人名言通常都是为了进行批判性分析,这也是东西方文化上的一大差异,建议考生心意一不要使用名人名言,而应当用自己的逻辑去说服对方。说到这里自然就引出五一个语言包装的问题:应不应当在作文中作用谚语,大多数考生会觉得这些语言对评卷人而言已是陈词滥调,不应该在他们面前卖弄,事实恰恰相反,非英语国家的考生使用谚语常常会给英语国家的评卷人留下良好的印象,他们认为只有英语功底很扎实的考生才能正确地使用谚语。因此,在对所用表达法把握很大的情况下,考生不妨在作文中写一些地道的英语习语。语言包装的最后一点是文体意识。普林斯顿所提供的评分标准中非常明确地指出考生所写的文章应当是academic(学术性)的,考生在提笔之前应当清楚地认识到现在这篇文章应当是学术性的正式文体,在遣词造句时要抛弃口语体的非正式的词汇和句型。

  四、考前要强化

  前面所讲的三大策略都是针对托福作文具体写作过程而言,接下来要说的第四大策略主要针对考前准备,即:考前要强化。任何事物都是要在实践中得到证明的,想要写出真正的TOEFL高分作文,除了要学习领会前面的三大策略外,考前准备时还有三点需要注意,一是考生一定要提起笔来写,只有拿起笔真正写过文章的人在考场上才有可能将种种策略运用开来,赢得高分。应该写什么,又该怎样写呢?建议考生每个题型写两篇文章,对照范文找差距,不断修改,不断完善,这个过程不仅会帮助考生强化固定的结构模式,还可以使他们在语言方面做好准备。练习的要点是宜精不宜多,不要走入只写不改、以多求胜的误区。二是要研究范文,而不是机械地背诵范文,研究范文要抓住文章的构思、结构、句式、词汇等方面;考生可以在范文旁边写下自己的评语:别人为什么这样写,这样写究竟高明在哪里,这个句式为什么要在这里用,可不可以移入自己的文章等等,从而把文章彻底理解并消化吸收。三是要在考前准备句式文章,因为TOEFL的作文有固定的结构、在学习范文时考生可以自己整理出一篇句式文章,而不是单纯的一个句型一个句型孤立地去背。文章的开头会采用什么样的句式,中间每段的主题句应该放在什么位置,如何去写,最后怎么结束,这些都弄清楚,整理好了,托福作文就变成了一篇完形填空,考生只须针对不同的题目填充不同的具体内容即可。

  在文章的末尾,还想提醒考生注意一点,作言语是一个考生占动的测试项目,考生自己完全可以决定写什么不写什么,所以在实际的写作过程中,应当采取回避的态度扬长避短,没有把握的词汇、句式或表达法尽量不同,多用一些自己很熟悉很有信心的词句。

  希望考生能在实践中领会运用TOEFL高分作文的四大策略,用成绩说明:托福高分作文不再是可望而不可及的水中月、镜中花;只要行之有法,你就可以成功。
