记忆方法因人而异，但一条不变的真理就是词汇不但要会背，而且要会用。所以背诵文章、例句的效果远比干巴巴地背单词要好得多，而且有趣得多。当然最好是在理解的基 础上背诵。 记忆词汇的途径有以下几种： 1)词汇书; 2)范文;
3)新概念等; 注意：词汇记忆时，眼、口、耳、脑、手并用可能效果好一些，而且这对提高听力也会 有很大的帮助。 记忆词汇的方法多种多样，关键是要找到一种适合自己的，并不断的坚持下去。 分类记忆：
1)据领域分类：如水果类，家具类，文具类 等 2)据同义词、近义词记忆。 学了一个新单词，就联想以前学了哪些相近的词，并记住这些词在感情色彩、用法等各方面的细微差异;同义词辨析在写作的词汇积累中也异常重要。建议在复习时加强对对同义词、近义词的了解和辨析，增加写作词汇的多样性和正确性，从而提高作文质量。
总之，同义词的比较记忆法也可在写作中有莫大的帮助。同时对其他考题——翻译题、改错题、完型填空题、简答题等也大有裨益。 建议大家在初期准备随身携带一本单词书籍，推荐唯一针对浙江普通高校专升本考试的三贤出版的《英语单词随身背》。 二、阅读理解备考，一定要多读、多做题
阅读理解的做题习惯也是因人而异。一般先看题干，再看原文，最后做题。做题时有一定技巧，如找主题句，表转折，递进等关系的连词，大家可在做题时总结一下，但总体来说，多积累词汇、多做题时这个阶段必须要做的。浙江专升本联考英语不简单，也不是很难，介于四级和高考水平间。 切记：阅读理解是根据原文作答而不是我们 自己的观点、想法。 备考期间，建议首选模拟卷卷，一定要精心研究;另外是自己感兴趣的读物。

It can free people form poverty,giveing them the power to greatly improve thier lives and take a productive place in society. It can also free communities and countries, allowing them to leap forward into periods ofg wealth and social unity that otherwisewould not be possible. For this reason,the international community has committed itself to getting all the world's children into primary school by 2015, a commitment known as Education for All. Can Education for All be achieved by 2015? The answer is definitely “yes”, although it is a difficult task. If we now measure the goal in terms of children success fully completing a minimum of five yeas of primary school, instead of just enrolling for classes, which used to be the measuring stick for education, the challenge will become even more difficult. Only 32 countries were formerly believed to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment rates. The number rises to 88 if completion rates are used as the standard.Still, the goai is achievable with the rigt policies and the right support form the international community. 59 of the 88 countries at risk can reah universal primary completion by 2015 if they bring the efficiency and quality of their education systems into line with standards observed in higher-perforrming systtems.Theg also need significant increasesin external(外部的)financing and technical support. The 29 countries lagging(落后) farthest behind wll not reach the goal without unprecedented(空前的)rates of progress. But this is attainable with creative solutions, including the use of information technologies,flexible and targeted foreign aid, and fewer people

You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(40 points) Passage One Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage: A U.N. report says water is in demand around the world as temperatures on Earth’s surface rise and demand grows along with populations. The report was released this week at the World Water Forum in Brasilia. The conference has been described as the world’s larg est water-related event. Federal District Governor Rodrigo Rollemberg spoke at a panel discussion on Tuesday at the forum. He described water shortages as a worldwide problem. “Here in Brasilia, it is no different,” he added. The public water supply has less water because of low rainfall as well as fast and disorderly growth in Brasilia, which is part of the Federal District, Rollemberg said. In January 2016, after three years of little rain, district officials began limiting how much water people could use. The governments of the Federal District and the nearby state of Goias also gave $166 million to develop water infrastructure （基础设施）. Demand around the world is expected to increase by nearly one-third by 2050. By then, 5 billion people could be left with poor access to water, the U.N. warned in its 2018 World Water Development Report. To avoid such a crisis, U.N. officials called for “nature-based solutions” that use or copy natural processes that should be

The magic beans will ward off skin cancer and Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症), reduce heart failure and diabetes（糖尿病） risks, heighten focus, and maybe even protect liver health. Oh, and decrease suicide risk, according to the newest study that validates our coffee addictions. According to a study performed by the Harvard School of Public Health and published this month in The World Journal of Biological Psychiatry, people who drink two to four cups of java each day are less likely to commit suicide than those who don’t drink coffee, drink decaf, or drink fewer than two cups each day. The study followed over 200,000 people for at least 16 years. And it’s not just a weak link: the researchers found that the suicide risk was cut by around 50 percent for coffee addicts. This isn’t the first time that researchers have discovered that coffee and smiles might go hand-in-hand. A 2011 study found that women who drink coffee cut their risk of depression by 15 percent compared to those who don’t. Michel Lucas, the head researcher of the most recent study, told The Huffington Post that coffee addicts can thank caffeine for the good news. The drug may actually act like a mild anti-depressant by tweaking levels of happy hormones . Of course, there’s plenty of research out there that doesn’t look so kindly upon coffee drinkers. Recently, the New Yorker published an article arguing that while coffee may heighten focus, that means it also puts a squeeze on creativity. And of
