大学英语B统考考前复习指导

（请大家先详细阅读下面的复习指导，然后再去复习后面的题）

一、交际用语考前押题复习指导. （重头戏）

交际用语考5道题，每题3分，共15分。此部分是本考试最简单、规律性最强的题型，同时单题分值很高，所以请同学们务必要全部掌握。

基础较好的同学请掌握下面的100多道题，基础较差的同学掌握前60道题。

二、阅读理解考前押题复习指导.

阅读理解考2篇短文，每篇短文5道题，共10道小题，每题2分，共20分。

我们首先来说考试中阅读理解的第一篇，答案是二选一，即正误的判断选择。难度相对不大（所以大家一定要重视此部分，尽可能拿到多的分数）。基础较好的同学请掌握阅读理解一的12篇，并使用“关键词回归原文定位的方法”试着做一做，细节题一般都能做对；如果考试中你没有考到这12篇中的一篇，请先做，做出自己认为一定对的题目，剩余不能确定答案的几题，请根据A、B选项的多少来选择，比如你能确定的2个题答案都选B，那剩余的3道题你就全部蒙A；或者比如你能确定1个题的答案选A，剩余的4个题你就全部蒙B，这样你就能拿到6-8分。基础特别差的同学掌握这12篇即可，如果考试中你没有考到这12篇中的一篇，5道题请全部选择A，这样你就可以拿到6分了，不要问原因。

我们再来说说考试中阅读理解的第二篇，第二篇（阅读理解二的20篇均属于此类）答案是四选一。这部分就掌握我们给的20篇即可，阅读理解我们至少能拿到6+10=16分。

三、词汇与结构考前押题复习指导.

词汇与结构考5道题，每题2分，共10分。

这个题型对我们来说是比较难的，而且分值较低，我们复习的时候不要花很多时间，基础较好的同学掌握我们给的考前押题即可，考试的时候应该能够遇到３－５道原题，这样至少能拿到6分。基础较差的同学请掌握前60道题，考试应该能遇到２－４道原题。

所以词汇与结构我们至少可以拿到4分。

四、完形填空考前押题复习指导.

完形填空考1篇短文，共5题，每题3分，共15分。

这个题型现在难度降低了很多，所以大家千万不要放弃。对于基础较好的同学，如果考试没有遇到原题，可以根据选项中5个词的词性来做选择，同时请大家注意，5个小题中的ABCDE选项的单词都是一样的，大家也可以将这5个单词拿到选项中根据排除法来做选择和判断，剩余不会做的几道题，可以全部蒙还没有选的选项，例如. 基础特别差的同学实在不行就都选择A，这样会对一个，拿到3分。如果你会做一题，比如第二题确定是B，那其他全部选A，这样也有6分。

所以完形填空我们至少可以拿到3分。

五、英译汉考前押题复习指导. （重头戏）

英译汉考6题，每题5分，共30分。此部分也是本考试简单的题型，同时也是单题分值高的题型，也是分值最高的题型，所以请大家一定多花些精力和时间来掌握。

英译汉是由老师来改卷的，老师改卷原则. 1、不作答0分；2、翻译对任何一个单词都能给0.5分或1分；3、英译汉没有标准答案，只要写得意思正确，就给满分即5分。4、句子翻译错误扣分，严重错误不给分。

这个改卷原则给我们的启示. 1、一定要写，不写就不可能得分；2、会一个单词就写一个，写一个就会有分；3、英译汉复习中，不用背所谓的标准答案，只要将不认识的单词认识即可，因为英译汉改卷答对意思就能得到满分。4、确定不会的单词一定不要瞎猜，这样避免扣分，切记，只翻译自己会的单词即可。

大家争取拿到满分30分；基础特别差的同学掌握要求掌握我们给的考前押题即可，应该能碰到3-6道题，拿到15-30分。

六、作文考前押题复习指导.

作文考1道题，10分。此部分也属于拿分的题型。当然也属于大家恐惧的题型。

对于这个题型，请大家务必掌握（会背、会在电脑上默写）我们给的作文模板，考试中95%的考题均会与这模板相同和相似，相似也就是说可以拿模板改写。

Passage 1

Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry.

In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Ofen, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. And large families can not be moved from place to place as smaller families can.So, at present people tend to have smaller families.

In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consists only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take child raising as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people’s children, leaving those families free to move from job to job.

Passage 2

Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history. Greaer than whan only a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity (特性) of time and space and so on — but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.

By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War. Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.

In the years following the First World War, honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whilhem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize for Physics, and he was highly honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism (纳粹主义) when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.

Passage 3

There was once an ant that was very thirsty. It ran here and there looking for some water but could not find any. Then suddenly, when the ant was almost ready to die of thirst, a large drop of water fell on it. The ant drank the water, which saved its life. The water was actually a tear from a young girl who was crying. Because of her

sadness, the tear had magical qualities and suddenly the ant could speak the language of human beings.

The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds.

"Why are you sad?" asked the ant.

"I'm the prisoner of a giant." the girl told the ant. "He won't let me go until I've made three separate heaps of grain, barley（大麦）and rye（黑麦）out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together."

"That will take you a month!" the ant said, looking at the huge pile of seeds.

"I know," the girl cried, "and if I haven't finished by tomorrow, the giant will eat me for his supper!"

"Don't cry," the ant said, "my friends and I will help you."

Soon thousands of ants were at work, separating the three kinds of seeds.

The next morning, when the giant saw that the work had been done, he let the girl go.

Thus it was one of her tears that saved her life.

Mr. White lived in a small village. His parents hadn't enough money to send him to school. He had to help them to do something in the fields. But he didn't like to live in the poor place. When he was sixteen, he got to the town and found work in a factory. Three years later he became tall and strong. So he was sent to Africa as a soldier. He stayed there for five years and got some money. Then he came back to England and bought a shop in a small town. No people in the town went to Africa except him. And he hoped they thought he was a famous man and that they could respect him. The children often asked him to tell them some stories and his life in Africa.

One day a few children asked him to tell them something about the animals in Africa. He told them how he fought with the tigers and elephants. His stories surprised them all and some policemen and workers went to listen to him. It made him happier. Just a man who taught geography in a middle school passed there. He stopped to listen to him for a while and then said, “Could you please tell us a rare animal, sir?”

''Certainly,' said Mr. Turner. “One day I met a rhinoceros（犀牛）by a river…''

Passage 5

There were once many sheiks（阿拉伯的酋长）who wanted to marry Queen Maura, for she was one of the most beautiful and powerful queens of Arabia.

However, she did not like most of the sheiks, and soon there were only three left on her list of possible husbands.

These three sheiks were all equally young and handsome, rich and strong.

It was very hard for the Queen to choose the best one.

One evening, she disguised herself and went to where the three sheiks were having their evening meal.

She asked them to give her something to eat.

The first sheik gave her some stale（不新鲜的）food left over from the day before.

The second sheik gave her a tough piece of old camel's tail.

The third sheik, whose name was Hakim, gave her some of the most tender（嫩的）and tasty meat.

After the meal, Queen Maura left the sheiks' camp.

The next day, she invited the three sheiks to dinner at her palace.

She told her servants to give each sheik what he had given her the evening before.

Hakim, who received a plate of tender and tasty meat, would not eat it unless the other two sheiks could share it with him.

Passage 6

Martin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.

King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial. The "dream" is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later.

Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of every January is now a federal holiday in Luther King's honor. He lives in people's hearts forever.

Passage 7

If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America, you fly over forests for thousands of kilometers. These great forests are the oceans of trees. There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals.

However, the world's forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear?

If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. In a lot of places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts. Crops will not grow there. It will not rain very often, and the weather will get very hot. Perhaps the climate of the world will change. This will be dangerous for everyone in the world. That is why we must take care of our forests.

The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792, to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie, also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation.

Passage 9

A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush — often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.

Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they

too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you.

You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point.

The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return — be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.

Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.

6.The statement that Americans are impolite to their business colleagues is wrong.

Passage 11

In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon（动画片）film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he said,"Stop! That's our duck!"

The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn't a goody-goody like Mickey.

In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons. Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today's children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.
