2013年6月六级考试真题答案解析(第三套)
2013年6月大学英语六级考试真题(三)答案与详解Part ⅠWriting1、审题:本篇为评论性的话题作文。
题目中要求评论的“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed”这句话出自圣雄甘地（Mahatma Gandhi)之口，是甘地生态世界观的体现。
地球一直是哺育生于斯的人类的最无私的母亲，为人类提供着各种生存和生活所需。
然而，随着科技进步、人口数量的激增，人类对地球的抢夺也越来越严重。
常言道：欲壑难填，而资源有限。
寻找合适的方式，维持人与地球及其资源之间的和谐关系，已是人类必须认真思考、快速行动的当务之急。
出题人似乎也是鉴于当前由于人类对自然界无穷无尽的索取，导致各种自然灾害频发、物种灭绝、资源枯竭等问题，借这个题目引发思考和更多关注。
考生可以从不同角度对这一主题进行阐释：可以先描述当前灾害频发、物种灭绝、资源枯竭等现状，引出主题，然后分析产生这些现象的人为因素（只追求GDP,不保护资源；人口激增，资源消耗，浪费更大；追求利益，盲目、过度开采等），最后发出呼吁；或者也可以先简述当前人与地球的关系（人们为了满足自己的贪欲，向地球无止境地索取，造成一系列问题），然后陈述人类积极协调自身利益与地球之间关系的意义，最后提出一两点建议结束全文。
2、写作思路：第一段：描述人类欲望膨胀带来的问题，如灾害频发、物种灭绝、资源枯竭，指出地球现状值得人们高度关注。
第二段：分析产生上述各种现象的原因，如只追求GDP而不保护资源；人口激增，资源的消耗和浪费更大；为求利益而盲目、过度开采等。
第三段：总结，指出人类应该控制自己的贪婪欲望，如此才能在地球上世代生存。
Time to Shake off Greed and Heal the EarthEarth, as has always been regarded as mother to human beings, has fallen ill with the symptoms of the frequent eruption of natural disasters, the extinction of wild animals and the exhaustion of natural resources. And the situation illustrated should arouse great attention of all human beings.As a matter of fact, blinded by greed, human beings have great responsibility for the present situation we confront with. To start with, human beings are so economy-oriented that they ignore the protection of the environment. Then, population in the planet has experienced great booming, which makes more and more resources needed and exhausted, and in turn threatens to end human life. Finally, human beings excessively exploit and abuse non-renewable energy and resources just for the expanding of their own benefits, which will only lead to the darkness of future for their offspring.Since the vista of the human’s greed towards the Mother Earth is so terrible that we should stop the unreasonable exploitation of the earth. Let’s shake off greed and heal the earth, and build a better home for ourselves and for our later generations.PartⅢReading ComprehensionSection A答案详解：36、C)。
2013年6月六级考试第一套真题答案解析(卷一)
2013年6月大学英语六级考试答案与详解（卷一）Part ⅠWriting1、审题:本篇是评论性的话题作文。
“微笑”是常谈不衰的话题，它本应是人们最自然、最常见的表情，而现代都市人大都为生活、工作、学业、子女等种种事务日复一日地劳碌奔波，背负着越来越大的压力，那种最真诚、最自然、最质朴的微笑正渐渐从人们的脸上消失。
在科技发达的现代社会，人与人之间在空间上的距离更近了，但在心灵上却越走越远。
本篇要求评论“微笑可以拉近两个人的距离”这句话并为文，而在更深层次上，出题人似乎是想借这个题目引发人们的思考，让人们通过“微笑”消除彼此之间的冷漠、仇恨、冲突，搭建良好的交流沟通和亲近的桥梁，因此这一题目开放性强，考生可发挥的空间很大。
此外，题目Drections中指出考生可以援引事例来证明观点，这为考生行文提供了一个思路，即：先陈述微笑的作用，然后援引事例予以证明，并对事例简单评述以点题，最后提出个人看法。
此外，考生也可先指出微笑可以缩短人与人之间距离的几个方面，然后指出微笑所代表的深层含义(人与人之间的信任支持、关怀友爱、宽容悲悯等真挚情感），最后再作出总结。
2、写作思路：第一段：引用特蕾莎修女的名言，指出微笑能缩短人与人之间的距离，并从三个方面体现：消融冷漠或敌意；赋予力量；拉近友情。
第二段：从不同角度举例证明微笑能缩短人与人之间的距离：绝望中抚慰心灵；陌生环境中与人亲近，获得帮助；困境中，获得力量。
第三段：总结前面所述，给出个人看法：微笑让我们受益匪浅，笑口常开促进人与人的交流，促进社会的和谐。
A Smile Can Shorten the Distance Between PeopleMother Teresa once said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”Human beings are said to be one of the few species in this planet who can express sincere sentiments through a smile. And it is a smile that melts the indifference or hostility between people, that gives power to those who are at the edge of despair, and that brings friends close to each other. In a word, it is a smile that continuously shortens the distance between people.A smile, with its strong power, brings out its miraculous glamour in different ways. When you are in the situation of despair, a smile from others will console your hurting heart. When you get into an unfamiliar circumstance, a smile will make the people around you feel comfortable and help you willingly. When you get into trouble, a smile from friends will give you power to stand up. Where there is no smile, there is no happiness of life.Seen from the discussion above, a smile benefits us very much. Le t’s keep smiling so that better communication between people can be achieved and a more harmonious society can be built.PartⅡListening Comprehension1.听力原文：W: I was shocked to hear of your wife’s illness.

This list is an attempt to quantify the elusive but important quality of 29 in higher education—with its findings 30 the opinions of academics around the world.The fast such ranking by the Times Higher Education magazine, published last year, had the same top five as this year—with the two Boston-based 31 , Harvard and M1T, in first and second place.Cambridge was once again the highest ranking U.K. university in third place, 32 Stanford and University of California, Berkeley.

Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.How Marketers Target KidsA) Kids represent an important demographic to marketers because they have their own purchasing power, they influencetheir parents’ buying decisions and they are the adult consumers of the future. Industry spending on advertising to children has exploded in the past decade, increasing from a mere $100 million in 1990 to more than $2 billion in 2000.B) Parents today are willing to buy more for their kids because trends such as smaller family size, dual incomes and postponing children until later in life mean that families have more disposable income. As well, guilt can play a role in spending decisions as time-stressed parents substitute material goods for time spent with their kids. Here are some of the strategies marketers employ to target kids:Pester(纠缠)PowerC) Today’s kids have more autonomy and decision-making power within the family than in previous generations, so it follows that kids are vocal about what they want their parents to buy. "Pester power" refers to children’ ability to nag their parents into purchasing items they may not otherwise buy. Marketing to children is all about creating pester power, because advertisers know what a powerful force it can be.D) According to the 2001 marketing industry book Kidfluence, pestering or nagging can be divided into two categories —"persistence" and "importance". Persistence nagging (a plea, that is repeated over and over again) is not as effective as the more sophisticated "importance nagging". This latter method appeals to parents’ desire to pr ovide the best for their children, and plays on any guilt they may have about not having enough time for their kids.The Marriage of Psychology and MarketingE) To effectively market to children, advertisers need to know what makes kids tick. With the help of well-paid researchers and psychologists, advertisers now have access to in-depth knowledge about children’s developmental, emotional and social needs at different ages. Using research that analyzes children’s behaviour, fantasy’ lives, art work, even their dreams, companies are able to craft sophisticated marketing strategies to reach young people.F) The issue of using child psychologists to help marketers target kids gained widespread public attention in 1999, when a group of U. S. mental health professionals issued a public letter to the American Psychological Association (APA) urging them to declare the practice unethical. The APA is currently studying the issue.Building Brand Name LoyaltyG) Canadian author Naomi Klein tracks the birth of "brand" marketing in her 2000 book No Logo. According to Klein, the mid-1980s saw the birth of a new kind of corporation—Nike, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, to name a few—which changed their primary corporate focus from producing products to creating an image for their brand name. By moving their manufacturing operations to countries with cheap labour, they freed up money to create their powerful marketing messages. It has been a tremendously profitable formula, and has led to the creation of some of the most wealthy and powerful multi-national corporations the world has seen.H) Marketers plant the seeds of brand recognition in very young children, in the hopes that the seeds will grow into lifetime relationships. According to the Center for a New American Dream, babies as young as six months of age can form mental images of corporate logos and mascots. Brand loyalties can be established as early as age two, and by the time children head off to school most can recognize hundreds of brand logos. While fast food, toy and clothingcompanies have been cultivating brand recognition in children for years, adult-oriented businesses such as banks and automakers are now getting in on the act.Buzz or Street MarketingI) The challenge for marketers is to cut through the intense advertising clutter( 杂乱) in young people’s lives. Many companies are using "buzz marketing" —a new twist on the tried-and-true "word of mouth" method. The idea is to find the coolest kids in a community and have them use or wear your product in order to create a buzz around it. Buzz, or "street marketing", as it’s also called, can help a company to successfully connect with the elusive (难找的) teen market by using trendsetters to give them products "cool" status.J) Buzz marketing is particularly well-suited to the Internet, where young "Net promoters" use chat rooms and blogs to spread the word about music, clothes and other products among unsuspecting users.Commercialization in EducationK) School used to be a place where children were protected from the advertising and consumer messages that permeated their world—but not anymore. Budget shortfalls ( 亏空，差额) are forcing school boards to allow corporations access to students in exchange for badly needed cash, computers and educational materials.L) Corporations realize the power of the school environment for promoting their name and products. A school setting deliversa captive youth audience and implies the endorsement of teachers and the educational system. Marketers are eagerly exploiting this medium in a number of ways, including: 1) sponsored educational materials; 2) supplying schools with technology in exchange for high company visibility; 3) advertising posted in classrooms, school buses, on computers in exchange for funds; 4) contests and incentive programs: for example, the Pizza Hut reading incentives program in which children receive certificates for free pizza if they achieve a monthly reading goal; 5) sponsoring school events.The InternetM) The Internet is an extremely desirable medium for marketers wanting to target children. It’s part of youth culture. This generation of young people is growing up with the Internet as a daily and routine part of their lives. Kids are often online alone, without parental supervision. Unlike broadcasting media, which have codes regarding advertising to kids, the Internet is unregulated. Sophisticated technologies make it easy to collect information from young people for marketing research, and to target individual children with personalized advertising.Marketing Adult Entertainment to KidsN) Children are often aware of and want to see entertainment meant for older audiences because it is actively marketed to them. In a report released in 2000, the U. S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revealed how the movie, music and video games industries routinely market violent entertainment to young children.O) The FTC studied 44 films rated "Restricted", and discovered that 80 per cent were targeted to children under 17. Marketing plans included TV commercials run during hours when young viewers were most likely to be watching. The FTC report also highlighted the fact that toys based on characters from mature entertainment are often marketed to young children. Mature rated video games are advertised in youth magazines; and toys based on "Restricted" movies and M-rated video games are marketed to children as young as four.46. Guilt can affect parents’ spending decisions because they don’t have enough time for theirkids.47. The Center for a New American Dream pointed out that brand loyalties could be formed as early as age two.48. School boards allow corporations to access to students because they need money and educational materials badly.49. The FTC report highlighted the fact that toys based on characters from mature entertainment are often marketed to young children.50. For this generation of young people, the Interact is a daily and routine part of their lives.51. According to Kidfluence, "persistence nagging" is less effective than the more sophisticated "importance nagging".52. According to a report released by the U. S. Federal Trade Commission, the movie, music and video games industries usually market violent entertainment to young children.53. Buzz marketing is well-suited to the Internet because the interactive environment can spread messages effectively.54. A group of U. S. mental health professionals think that it is unethical to use child psychologists to help marketers target kids.55. According to the Pizza Hut reading incentives program, children will receive certificates for free pizza if they achieve a monthly reading goal.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Like most people, I’ve long underst ood that I will be judged by my occupation, that my profession is a gauge people use to see how smart or talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I’m treated as a person.Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve foodto people, I had customers say and do things to me I suspect they’d never say or do to their most casual acquaintances. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then beckoned ( ⽰意) me back with his finger a minute later, complaining he was ready to order and asking where I’d been.I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon (勤杂⼯) by plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I’d be sitting at their table, waitin g to be served.Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked—cordially.I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from an advertising sales representative with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately evident. Perhaps it was because money was involved, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me.My job title made people treat me with courtesy. So it was a shock to return to the restaurant industry.It’s no secret that there’s a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and f ortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry, by definition, exists to cater to others’ needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant.I’m now applying to graduate school, which means someday I’ll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I think I’ll take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose only job is to serve them.56. The author was disappointed to find that ________.A) one’s position is used as a gauge to measure one’s intelligenceB) talented people like her should fail to get a respectable jobC) one’s occupation affects the way one is treated as a personD) professionals tend to look down upon manual workers57. What does the author intend to say by the example in the second paragraph?A) Some customers simply show no respect to those who serve them.B) People absorbed in a phone conversation tend to be absent-minded.C) Waitresses are often treated by customers as casual acquaintances.D) Some customers like to make loud complaints for no reason at all.58. How did the author feel when waiting tables at the age of 19?A) She felt it unfair to be treated as a mere servant by professionals.B) She felt badly hurt when her customers regarded her as a peon.C) She was embarrassed each time her customers joked with her.D) She found it natural for professionals to treat her as inferior.59. What does the author imply by saying ". . . many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant" (Line 3, Para. 7)?A) Those who cater to others’ needs are destined to be looked down upon.B) Those work ing in the service industry shouldn’t be treated as servants.C) Those serving others have to put up with rough treatment to earn a living.D) The majority of customers tend to look on a servant as a server nowadays.60. The author says she’ll one day take her clients to dinner in order to ________.A) see what kind of person they areB) experience the feeling of being servedC) show her generosity towards people inferior to herD) arouse their sympathy for people living a humble lifePassage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.What’s hot for 2007 among the very rich? A $7.3 million diamond ring. A trip to Tanzania to hunt wild animals. Oh, and income inequality.Sure, some leftish billionaires like George Soros have been railing against income inequality for years. But increasingly, centrist and right-wing billionaires are starting to worry about income inequality and the fate of the middle class.In December, Mortimer Zuckerman wrote a column in U. S. News & World Report, which lie owns. "Our nation’s core bargain with the middle class is disintegrating, " lamented (哀叹) the117th-riehest man in America. "Most of our economic gains have gone to people at the very top of the income ladder. Average income for a household of people of working age, by contrast, has fallen five years in a row. " He noted that "Tens of millions of Americans live in fear that a major health problem can reduce them to bankruptcy. "Wilbur Ross Jr. has echoed Zuckerman’s anger over the bitter struggles faced by middle-class Americans. "It’s an outrage that any American’s life expectancy should be shortened simply because the company they worked for went bankrupt and ended health-care coverage, " said the former chairman of the International Steel Group.What’s happening? The very rich are just as trendy as you and I, and can be so when it comes to politics and policy. Given the recent change of control in Congress, the popularity of measures like increasing the minimum wage, and efforts by California’s governor to offer universal health care, these guys don’t need their own personal weathermen to know which way the wind blows.It’s possible that plutocrats (有钱有势的⼈) are expressing solidarity with the struggling middle class as part of an effort to insulate themselves from confiscatory (没收性的) tax policies. But the prospect that income inequality will lead to higher taxes on the wealthy doesn’t keep plutocrats up at night. They can live with that.No, what they fear was that the political challenges of sustaining support for global economic integration will be more difficult in the United States because of what has happened to the distribution of income and economic insecurity.In other words, if middle-class Americans continue to struggle financially as the ultrawealthy grow ever wealthier, it will be increasingly difficult to maintain political support for the free flow of goods, services, and capital across borders. And when the United States places obstacles in the way of foreign investors and foreign goods, it’s likely to encourage reciprocal action abroad.

2013年12月六级考试真题答案解析(第二套)
2013年6月大学英语六级考试真题(二)答案与详解Part ⅠWriting1、审题:这是一篇评论性话题作文。
首先，抓住题目中的主题词happiness,problems 和ability ,避免跑题。
接着，借助谚语内容（幸福不在于不出现问题，而在于拥有解决问题的能力），谚语与题目相结合，可提炼出主题：怎样提高解决问题的能力并因此而感到幸福。
然后，弄清题目与谚语的关系：主题与例证关系。
最后，确定行文思路：引出话题+解释谚语+提出观点+举例论证+总结意义；总结时，注意观点要明确，贴合所给主题，切勿模棱两可。
2、写作思路：第一段：以“总—分—总”形式引出话题，解释谚语，提出观点。
第二段：指出怎样通过提高解决问题的能力而获得幸福，并举例论证。
第三段：总结全文，点明意义，呼应主题。
On HappinessAs the saying goes,happiness is not the absence of problems,but the ability to deal with them.Happiness to our society does not mean that we ignore problems,such as environmental problems,unfair income among citizens,and corruption of the government officials,and so forth.Happiness to the individual is the ability to deal with problems.We will feel happy if we try our best to deal with various problems in our daily life.I can develop my ability to deal with problems and be happy with the following ways.Firstly,I will learn logic reasoning to master the skills of dealing with problems.Secondly,when I come across problems,I will face them bravely and analyse them thoroughly.Thirdly,when they are too difficult to solve,I will discuss with my family or friends around me,and ask them for help.The ability to deal with problems and be happy is significant to all of us.It helps us to create a good environment to the family,and a friendly community as well.What’s more,it helps us build a harmonious society.Part ⅡListening Comprehension1.听力原文：W:What a wonderful performance!Your rock band has never sounded better.M:Many thanks.I guess all those hours of practice in the past month are finally paying off.Q:What does the man mean?【预测】选项中的the rock band,practice,hard work 以及a big success 表明，本题可能与摇滚乐队付出的努力和获得的成功有关。

改革之后的六级英语考试会在教学上更契合大学英语的教学要求，也会调整学生英语学习的侧重点，但却并不会根本脱离它之前所扮演的角色。
毕竟，目前中国的社会需要这样一个权威的英语考试标准来作为学校和用人单位衡量人才英语水平的标准。
语言测试是一个工具，而工具本身并没有错，我们所要做的是如何科学、合理地使用它。
新设计的试题题型中第三部分变动较大，将原来15分的词汇与结构改为改错与翻译，现在就公布的样题对综合部分做一些介绍与分析。
听力新六级听力中包含有四种不同的题型，分别是短对话、长对话、段落听力理解和听写，其中比较有新意，构成一定的备考难度的是长对话题型。
这种题型依旧借鉴国外成熟考试的模式，它让考生所听的内容加长，要捕捉信息的难度也在加大。
但是，这种题型只是从短对话到段落理解的一种过渡。
相比较而言，段落理解的难度可能还要更大一些，在给出的三篇短文听力理解样题中，第二篇讲到了美国的国鸟白头鹰，其中讲到了杀虫剂DDT对这种珍惜动物的危害，而第三篇讲到了眼泪的作用，其中出现了lubricate这个在听力中不算简单的词汇。
听力理解的复习，还是应该强调基本的听力段落的理解和听写能力。
特别需要指出的是，听写能力的培养是广大同学比较容易忽视的一个方面，很多单词我们可能听得懂，甚至都能念的对，但是不一定写得准。
这就要求我们平时在记忆单词方面，对于听力常考单词的拼写一定要多加注意。
阅读阅读理解是新六级中变化最大的一块。
原来单调的“看文章，选答案”的考试样式部分保留，而新出现的快速阅读无疑是考试的一个亮点。
考生被要求在15分钟内浏览1000字以上的一篇文章，同时还要做4个“对、错、未提及”的判断题，还要再接再厉做6个填空，这样快节奏的考试，对很多奉行“一慢二看三选择”解题思路的同学来说无疑是个打击。
而另外短文问答的部分，也更加强调了考生写英文的能力。
从中看出，“读写综合考察”是改革后四六级的基本思路。
改错新六级考试“改错的目的是测试学生综合运用语言的能力”。
改错中的很多错误其实就是很多学生在平时写作时经常犯的错误。
比如说意义形式容易混淆的词，搭配错误的词，词性，时态，语态，数，格等方面的错误。
可以说，改错考查了考生的综合能力。
改错形式有以下三类：1、错词（words mistaken）。
在标有题号的一行中有一词在词法、搭配或词义等方面有错误，要求考生找出错误并换上正确的词（change a word），这类错误在所有错误中占绝大多数。
2、缺词（words missing）。
在标有题号的一行的任何位置缺了一词，要求考生按语法、搭配或上下文语义的需要找出缺词的位置并补上所缺的词（insert a word）。
3、多词（words redundant）。
在标有题号的一行中有一词按语法、搭配或上下文语义要求纯属多余，要求考生认定该多余的词并划去（cross out a word）。
短文共有10处错误，但究竟哪一行多一词，哪一行缺一词或错一词，则没有任何规律和标记。
历年考题的统计资料表明，绝大多数改错设计为错词一类。
其主要原因除了命题因素外，更由于这类错误形式难度较大，并更能考查考生的实际语言驾驭能力。
改错规则：不论是错词，缺词或多词，考生在改错时只能动一个词。
除了掌握一些应试技巧外，考生应在自身语言基本功，尤其是语言的准确使用方面提高自己。
具体来看，改错题的主要错误类型有主谓不一致、时态和语态错误、连接词误用、形容词与副词错误、反义词误用、非谓语动词错误、关系代词错误、介词错误、缺漏和赘述、句子结构等等。
考生在做改错题时，首先应通读短文，对文章有个大致的了解。
然后，仔细读出现10个错误的所在行，一般来说，每个错误基本都可以归入上述的某一个错误类型，看有没有出现语法错误和词汇错误。
翻译新六级中，写作和翻译部分分值比例为20％。
其中，写作部分15％，翻译部分5％。
翻译，虽然翻译也是往年六级考试备选题型之一，但近年来并没有在测试中出现过。
从样题看出，这一题型发生了重大变化，由考查英译汉转变为考查汉译英。
翻译部分测试的是句子、
短语或常用表达层次上的中译英能力。
和其他翻译考试不同（例如考研的翻译考察的是篇章结构中局部句子的英译汉），六级翻译将很少涉及翻译的深层技巧与文化背景知识。
因此，虽然该部分以汉译英的命题形式出现，考点的实质仍是基础知识，如果考生备考时能够牢固掌握核心的词汇、语法等知识点，拿到汉译英部分分数应该是相对容易的。
但是需要注意到的是，汉译英部分的做题时间只有5分钟，这就意味着考生必须对知识点掌握足够熟练，满足考题在测试速度上的要求。
总之，就新六级中只占5％的翻译而言，它的实质是变相的测试词汇、语法和短语结构。
考生无需钻研翻译技能和英美文化背景知识。
写作四六级改革中，作文是唯一没有改动的部分。
作文，在出题方式上将基本沿袭稳健、成熟的出题风格。
按照以往的思路，考试作文大致可分为四大类：1、原因现象对策；2、正反论证；3、图表及漫画；4、热点话题。
本次样题采用的是05年6月的作文题目，原因现象对策类文章。
第一，培养兴趣，看英语大片，读英语杂志。
第二，课本是基础，单词要牢记，扎实。
要背些课文，对自己要求高的话就听课文，练口语，练听写。
第三，为4级准备，做点练习。
我大2，反正4级过了，感觉不难，要是想考6级，就要好好学了。
具体的我这样学的：1，每周4-5天的听力练习，早上做一套听力。
2，每天背单词20--50个单词，不一定全会，但是要做到看到单词知道意思，那阅读就不是问题了，还要根据记忆曲线及时复习。
重点单词是一些用法较多的动词。
3看看语法书，如果有毅力的话，就问问老师哪个是重点课文，挑几篇背一背，一定要是课文，因为一般课文比较好。
这样你的作文还有改错应该还会有提高。
4 阅读每天2个，我选星火的，要精读。
5补习，如果基础差的话就补习一下6完型，通过以上的学习就基本可以搞定了。
