本题的做题方法基本和上一题型思路一致，分析句子成分是关键。现主要讲构词法。
英语单词的构成有一定的规律，这种规律称为构词法。掌握构词法知识对我们更好地理解词义、认识新词和扩大词汇量有重要意义。
构词法主要有三种：派生法、合成法和转换法。
一、派生法
在一个词的词根前面或后面加上某个词缀来产生新词，这种构词法称为派生法。词缀分为前缀和后缀。
（一）后缀：许多名词、形容词、副词和动词是由词根加后缀构成的。
1.构成名词的常用后缀有：
（1）-er, -or, -ist, -ee, -ian, -ese, -ant等用于构成表示人或物的名称。
如:writer, translator, trainee, employee, scientist, physicist, musician,
physician, Italian, Asian, Chinese, assistant等。
（2）-ance, -ence, -(a)tion, -sion, -al, -ing, -ity, -ment, -th, -ty, -ure,
-ship等用于构成表示行为、性质、状态等的抽象名词。
如：acceptance, assistance, dependence, confidence, repetition, preparation,
discussion, division, arrival, survival（务必区分survivor和survival）, approval,
disapproval, building, reality, simplicity, ability, rapidity, regularity,
argument, warmth, length, growth, safety, leadership, failure, pressure,
friendship等。
（3）其他名词后缀：-hood, -ness, -ology, -phy。
如：childhood, neighborhood（附近，街坊）, motherhood（母性，母亲身份）, kindness, happiness,
sadness, biology, psychology, philosophy, geography

the missing information.He was the only _______ in this aircrash. In fact his
_______ surprised all of us.A．survivor, survivorB．survival, survivalC．
survival, survivorD．survivor, survival【答案】D
【解析】本题考查survive变成名词时加不同后缀时含义的区别，即survivor和survival的区别。survivor意为"幸存者"，survival意为"幸存，生存"，故选择D。【知识点】名词后缀2. 构成形容词的常用后缀有：-able, -ible, -al, -ful, -less, -ish, -ive, -ous, -an, -ic, -ly,
-y, -ant, -ent, -ary, -en等。
如：available, suitable, valuable（注意联想invaluable, valueless, priceless）,
responsible, natural, national, powerful, helpful, faithful, successful,
fearless, useless, helpless, selfless, selfish, childish, decisive, famous,
continuous, African, American, European, scientific, historic, friendly, lively,
thirsty, noisy, pleasant, dependent, consistent（一贯的）, imaginary, golden,
wooden等。

fill in the blank.His advice is of great value to the successful completion of
our task. That is, his advice is _______ (valuable) to the success of our
task.A．invaluablyB．valuablyC．invaluableD．valueless 【答案】C
【解析】本题考查形容词词缀。valuable前面加了前缀in-并不表示否定含义，而是意义被强调了，可以说invaluable是valuable的强调形式，意为"无价的"，相当于priceless；而valueless意为"无价值的"，故选择C。【知识点】形容词词缀3. 构成动词的常用后缀有：-ise/ize, -en, -ify等。
如：modernize, realize, widen, strengthen, beautify, modify（修饰）等。
4. 构成副词的后缀有：-ly, -ward(s), -wise。例如：completely, rarely, truly, simply,
backward(s), forward(s), clockwise, likewise同样地
补充：绝大部分形容词变为副词时直接加ly，但也有特例。关于形容词变副词现强调以下几点：
（1）形容词是"-le"结尾的，先去掉e，然后直接加y。例如：simply, possibly, subtly。
（2）形容词是"辅音字母加y"结尾的，先把y变成i，然后再加ly。例如：luckily, heavily。
（3）形容词是"l"结尾的，直接加ly。例如：finally, eventually, successfully。
（4）true - truly

fill in the blanks________ (lucky), he has carried out the project _______
(complete) ahead of schedule.A．Luckiness, completelyB．Luckily, completelyC．
Luckily, completionD．Unluckily, completly【答案】B 【解析】本题考查副词后缀。本句中第一个空格要填入的单词作状语，修饰整个句子，故选择副词，排除A。第二个空格处要填的单词修饰动词短语carry out the
project，因此同样选择副词，completely为正确拼写形式，故选B。【知识点】副词后缀
（二）前缀
1. 表示相反意义的前缀有：un-, dis, -in, -im, -ir, -il, -de等。如：unhappy, unreasonable, uncomfortable, uncover（揭露）, unload（卸货）,
dislike（注意比较unlike）, dishonest, disagree, informal, inaccurate, inactive,
imbalanced, impossible, immobile, irregular, irresponsible, illegal, illogical,
devalue（贬值）等。

fill in the blanks________ (like) his younger brother, he _______ (like) biology
very much while his bother is crazy about it.A．Unlike, dislikesB．Dislike,
unlikesC．Unlike, dislikeD．Dislikes, unlike【答案】A 【解析】本题考查like前加不同否定前缀时的区别。like作为介词"像"，反义词为unlike，意为"不像，与……不同"，like 作为动词"喜欢"，反义词为dislike，意为"不喜欢"，故选A。注意C项的错误在于dislike没有使用第三人称单数形式dislikes。该句的意思是"和他弟弟不一样的是，他非常不喜欢生物而他弟弟对生物痴迷。"【知识点】否定前缀
2. 表示其他意思的前缀有：
anti-: 表示“反”，“反对”
anto-: 表示“自己的”
bi-: 表示“二”
bio-: 表示“生物的”
co-: 表示“共同”
counter-: 表示“相反”，“反对”

Passage 1 （选自大纲样题）
The Environment: Our Responsibility
1 These days it is impossible (possible) to open a newspaper without reading
about the damage we are doing to the environment. The earth is being 41
threatened(threaten) and the future looks bad. What can each of us do?
2 We cannot clean up our 42 polluted(pollute) rivers and seas overnight. Nor can
we stop the 43 disappearance(appearance) of plants and animals. But we can stop
adding to the problem while 44 scientists(science) search for answers, and laws
are passed in nature's 45 defense/defence(defend). It may not be easy to change
your lifestyle 46 completely(complete) but some steps are easy to take: cut down
the amount of 47 driving(drive) you do, or use as little plastic as possible. It
is also easy to save energy, which also reduces housing 48 bills(bill). We must
all make a personal 49 decision(decide) to work for the future of our planet if
we want to 50 ensure(sure) a better world for our grandchildren. 小贴士：类似于以往考试中的词性转换的形式，注重句子结构的分析，分析句子成分是正确答题的关键。
Passage 2 （选自Self-Assessment 1）
Careful Use of Words
1 Words are powerful and can be very (0)damaging (damage) when used carelessly.
They have the power to evoke potent emotions and they can help inspire,
(41)encourage (courage) and motivate people. They can transform the world that
we live in and in a crisis they can be your strongest ally同盟者，助手or your most
damaging opponent.
2 One should always be very (42) careful (care) when using words, but this is
especially so in the midst of a crisis. Who can forget when, during the middle
of the largest oil spill in US history, the Chief Executive of BP, Tony Hayward,
said "I'd like my life back"? When a crisis breaks, a company needs to be (43)
particularly (particular) careful in framing its response. While attempting to
assert control it also needs to be aware of the (44) implication (implicate) of
the response and what it may mean in the future. Framed properly, a (45) trained
(train) spokesperson can use their language to calm nerves during a very anxious
time and can give the public an (46) impression (impress) that the company is in
control and working hard to resolve the crisis.
3 The language in all crisis (47) communication (communicate) materials沟通材料
should be carefully managed and reviewed. Have all professional expressions and
academic language been removed and adapted? The language should be simple and
self-explanatory. Are the communication materials (48)
respectful (respect) of
all audiences including stakeholders利益相关者, employees, media and the general
public? Are words the best method to explain what happened? It may be useful to
have a graphic形象的，图表的(49)designer (design) /photographer available to allow you
to communicate clearly what happened in a simple and (50) logical (logic) way.
Can your press release be converted into 140 characters or less for Twitter?
It's unlikely - prepare alternative strategies to allow you to engage via social
media channels.
4 A serious crisis can destroy companies and/or individuals. However, proper
preparation combined with an appropriate response can actually help improve the
reputation of both. Language is a powerful weapon and should be treated as such
in all communications.
Passage 3 （选自Self-Assessment 2）
Crude Oil
1 Although crude oil is still (O)vastly (vast) available in the earth's crust地壳,
it is not a/an (41)infinite (finite) resource. At some point it will eventually
be (42) exhausted耗尽的(exhaust).（注exhaustive意为详尽的，彻底的）The demand for crude oil
has increased by gigantic proportions. However, (43)discovering (discovery) of
new oil fields and investing in the oil industry have helped keep up with the
(44) increasing (increase) demand for oil. The crucial question is, how long
will the oil resources last?
2 (45) Advanced (advance) technology has made drilling oil more (46) effective
(effect) and efficient. With the aid of new methods it is possible to draw
almost 65% of the oil as opposed to与…相比the old methods. Better
infrastructure基础设施and more (47) investment (invest) have also made the drilling
of oil wells more effective. Currently most (48) transportation (transport) is
dependent on oil and many industries are born out of or lean on byproducts of
petroleum石油. Although alternative sources of energy are now (49) applied
(apply), like solar and wind energy, it is still a long way to be completely
(50) independent (dependent) of crude oil.
Passage 4 （选自Self-Assessment 3）
Body Image
1 Nowadays, a large number of people are (0) encouraged (courage) to be
dissatisfied with their bodies by plastic surgeons整形外科医生, diet plans, and diet
pills - all of which foster that (41) dissatisfaction (satisfaction) to make a
profit. However, in my opinion, to build a positive body image requires a (42)
balanced (balance) diet and (43) healthy (health) lifestyle.
2 In daily life, to eat more fruits and vegetable than meat will help us keep
fit. The best way to keep ourselves in shape is to do some (44) vigorous (vigor)
exercise every day. Instead of feeling self-conscious and (45) shameful 可耻的，丢脸的/
ashamed羞愧的，惭愧的(shame), or believing your body is a shame of personal (46)
failure (fail) and that you are not as attractive as everyone else, you should
have a real and clear (47) perception (perceive) of your body parts, appreciate
your body for the way it is, and feel (48) comfortable (comfort) and confident.
3 When we love ourselves rather than covet垂涎，觊觎and pine for渴望(49) impossible
(possible) standards, we are happier, healthier and ultimately more
(50)fulfilled (fulfill).（注：fulfilling令人满意的，令人高兴的）

Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D.（分数：40.00） __________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析： In interviews, famous people often say that the key to becoming both happy and successful is to "do what you love." But mastering a skill,【C1】______one that you deeply love, requires a huge 【C2】______of dull practice. Any challenging activity requires【C3】______and concentrated practice. Anyone who wants to master a skill must【C4】______through the cycle of practice, critical feedback, modification, and progressive improvement again, again, and again. Some people seem able to【C5】______practicing an activity like this for years and take【C6】______in their gradual improvement.【C7】______others find this kind of concentrated, time-intensive work to be【C8】______or boring. Why? The difference may turn on the ability to enter into a state of "flow," the feeling of being completely【C9】______what you are doing. A flow state is a special experience. Flow states can happen in the【C10】______of any activity, and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at an appropriate skill level, and where the individual is able to adjust their performance【C11】______clear and immediate feedback. Flow states turn the dull practice into an autotelic activity—that is, one that can be enjoyed for its own sake, rather than as a【C12】______to an end or for attaining some external reward. That raises the question of how we can turn this to our【C13】______: How can we get into a flow state for an activity that we want to master, so that we enjoy both the process of【C14】______skills and the rewards of being a master? Psychologists suggested that those who most readily entered into flow states had an "autotelic personality". For those who aren"t necessarily【C15】______with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be【C16】______by environmental factors. While there isn"t yet a pill that can turn dull practice into a【C17】______activity for anyone, it is encouraging that we seem, at least to some degree, to be able to push ourselves toward flow states【C18】______we are given unstructured, open-ended time,【C19】______distractions, and a task set at a【C20】______level of difficulty.（分数：40.00） (1).【C1】（分数：2.00） A.especially B.even √ C.only D.just 解析：解析：句子指出“掌握一门技能需要枯燥练习”。空格后one则指代a skill，结合one thatyou deeply love的语义，推断所需副词旨在强调任何一门技能都遵循着这样的规律。B项even“甚至，即使”可加强语气，能体现句首表转折的But和句子逻辑。 (2).【C2】（分数：2.00） A.part B.variety C.amount √ D.field 解析：解析：所需名词处于a huge…of的表达中，修饰dull practice。参照“熟能生巧”的逻辑，可以推测掌握一门技能需要大量的练习，故C项amount“大量”正确。 (3).【C3】（分数：2.00） A.focused √
自考英语二怎么学
自考英语二怎么学 自考英语二怎么学 1 英语(二)词汇记忆方法 英语二词汇要求达到3800词，词组750.有的同学问是不是就只要背下册书的词汇就行了，回答是不够的，肯定是不够的，因为词汇没有说只考下册，上册也要背。但是有人说我短期内怎么记住这些大量的词汇呢?大家词汇学习第一个应该是有一定的时间，因为有的同学说一个星期或者两个星期教给你方法能够记住几千，他这个方法有点儿像变魔术，不太现实，我觉得词汇是一个积累。因为从心理学角度来讲学词汇有两个方向，一个方向是要把词汇学习的时候印象深刻，一个词能够像串葡萄似的串出一串来，比如同义词、反义词、近义词，应该把有关联的词相互记忆。第二，词汇一定得重复，从心理学角度学词必须这样。 2 英语(二)学习重点 英语是一种语言，任何语言都是由词和句子构成的，所以光会了词，不会把这些词组成句子是不行的，因此怎么组成句子呢?得知道组成句子的规则，还有一些习惯用法，你必须要了解这种语言的文化，所以说学英语光学词是不行的，因此是除了学词以外还得学词的用法以及文化，习惯用法就是一种文化，死背根本记不住。为什么记不住?背的这个词应该是灵活的，怎么灵活呢?这个词首先要知道词性是什么，做个句子，学了一个词不会做句子造一个短语，还要大声的念，李阳疯狂英语为什么风靡全国，就是要把词大声地念出来，这样从耳朵里能够听进去的，对大脑的刺激比眼睛里看见的要强得多，所以学习词汇的一个技巧要大声念，要组一个词或者组一个短语，这样记忆比光看两遍、写几遍要好得多。
3 英语(二)考前冲刺方法 最好的方法应该是做冲刺的题目，所谓冲刺的题目就是要做一些题目跟考试的真题一样的，每一部分都是给自己做测试，做模拟题，比如要设定时间是2个半小时，考试是2个半小时，你就要用2个 半小时做模拟卷然后做考试题，因为考试的真题都有答案，最后对 一下答案看得多少分。 4 英语(二)考试如何安排考场时间 考试时间安排，总有最后的翻译题来不及做的这种情况，所以我跟大家讲主观性题目，我刚才说了有30%，一定要留出足够的时间，至少三分之一的时间来做。有一部分比较难的，就像完形填空，那 个只有10分，但是有大部分同学在那儿花的时间太多了，完形填空 一段文章是比较难的，把10个空填进去，如果耗费了很多时间不值得。因为完形填空一般的同学语法知识比较差的话，做不好这道题。但是像第一个题目词汇结构题，如果有一定的语法知识这道题应该 是可以拿到分的。再有阅读理解题，也是30分，有的同学最后来不 及把文章仔细看，就随便乱选了很容易选错，所以把三分之一的时 间一定要留给阅读理解，还有三分之一的时间留给主观性题目就是 翻译题。 注意事项 备考英语(二)最大的资本就是课本，考生最少要留一个月时间，把课文从头到尾复习一遍，力求吃透课本知识。 重复学习法当感到知识已经掌握得的差不多的时候，再重复学一次。这一次也许会获得更深的印象和更多的体会。 换位思考法在自学中，不要老是把你自己当成是“学生”，处于被动地位，而要不断的把自己摆放到“先生”的位置上，采取主动，产生不同的想法来。

In the study, it was increased by【C10】______candle smoke. Researcher Christina Isaxon said the concentration of smoke【C11】______during the study was similar to that created by a candlelit dinner. As the volunteers could not see the candles and weren told what they were breathing, the effect could not be explained【C12】______by the calming effect of candlelight. Dr Isaxon believed that tiny particles of the candle smoke could be responsible for the beneficial effects. These particles are【C13】______regulating the hearts rhythm and in sending messages between cells in the body. More salts are produced when a【C14】______is still. The study did not find any【C15】______health effects of the smoke—【C16】______she admitted she did not make a huge effort to find any.

(15 points) The rat has many enemies and its greatest enemy is man. Nevertheless, it is the survivor. Although man has 26 an unending war against them, rats have 27 the world. In almost every country, from the 28 cold of the Arctic regions to the unbearable 29 of the tropics, rats are 30 thriving, increasing and multiplying. Apart from their ability to 31 themselves to varying climate conditions, rats possess another 32 that gives them an advantage in extending their boundaries.

2015年考研英语二完形填空原文及答案
2015年考研英语二完形填空原文及答案 While the subway's arrival may be ambiguous, one thing about yourcommute is certain: No one wants to talk to each other. In our contemporaryculture, the prospect of communicating with -- or even looking at -- a strangeris virtually unbearable. Everyone around us seems to agree by the way theyfiddle with their phones, even without a signal underground。 It's a sad reality -- our desire to avoid interacting with otherhuman beings -- because there's much to be gained from talking to the strangerstanding by you. But you wouldn't know it, plugged into your phone. Thisuniversal armor sends the message: "Please don't approach me." What is it that makes us feel we need to hide behind our screens? One answer is fear, according to Jon Wortmann, executive mentalcoach and author of "Hijacked by Your Brain: How to Free Yourself WhenStress Takes Over." We fear rejection, or that our innocent socialadvances will be misinterpreted as "creepy," he told The HuffingtonPost. We fear we'll be judged. We fear we'll be disruptive。 Strangers are inherently unfamiliar to us, so we are more likely tofeel anxious when communicating with them compared with our friends andacquaintances. To avoid this anxiety, we turn to our phones. "Phonesbecome our security blanket," Wortmann says. "They are our happyglasses that protect us from what we perceive is going to be moredangerous." But once we rip off the bandaid, tuck our smartphones in our pocketsand look up, it doesn't hurt so bad. In one 2011 experiment, behavioralscientists Nicholas Epley and Juliana Schroeder asked commuters to do theunthinkable: Start a conversation. The duo had Chicago train commuters talk totheir fellow passengers. "When Dr. Epley and Ms. Schroeder asked otherpeople in the same train station to predict how they would feel after talkingto a stranger, the commuters thought their ride would be more pleasant if theysat on their own," the New York Times summarizes. Though the participantsdidn't expect a positive experience, after they went through with theexperiment, "not a single person reported having been snubbed." In fact, these commutes were reportedly more enjoyable compared withthose sans communication, which makes absolute sense, since human beings thriveoff of social connections. It's that simple: Talking to strangers can make youfeel connected. The train ride is a fortuity for social connection -- "thestuff of life," Wortmann says. Even seemingly trivial interactions canboost mood and increase the sense of belonging. A study similar in hypothesisto Eply and Schroder's published in Social Psychological & PersonalityScience asked participants to smile, make eye contact and chat with theircashier. Those who engaged with the cashier experienced better moods -- andeven reported a better shopping experience than those who avoided superfluousconversation
