攻克雅思口语：化难为易,化繁为简
攻克雅思口语：化难为易，化繁为简攻克雅思口语:化难为易,化繁为简一.〝硬碰硬〞,真金不怕火炼对于备考时间较长(半年或以上)的考生,建议大家本着务实求真的精神,彻彻底底将口语基础打牢.切记,口语和写作都是真正揭晓实力的两门,绝不能依仗技巧取胜.有经验的考官不会完全照读考题,而是会为你〝量身定做〞(Tailor-made)顺势出题,所以如果完全是所谓的技巧搭起来的空中楼阁的话,注定会不攻自破.因此,一定要充分利用这段较长的备考期,多开口,勤练习,进行实战模拟,让自己的口语有质的提高.二.由难到易,化繁为简一定的实力基础固然必不可少,但口语成绩的提高也不是完全没有捷径可走.聪明的考生能做到扬长避短,迎合评分要求回答,在短短的十来分钟内包装自己的语言,有更好的发挥.下面将介绍三种化繁为简的方法,供大家参考.第一招:减少描述,增加议论纵览各类卡片题,发现一个共同的关键词,即Describe, 如Describe a teacher who has greatly influencedyou(人物题),Describe an object you use everyday(物品题),Describe a shop you often goto(地点题),Describe a familyevent(事件题).很多考生会集中精力去思考如何Describe,所以在人物题中会试着用很多语言去描述外貌特征,如大大的眼睛,长长的睫毛,粉粉的脸颊,厚厚的嘴唇.且不论该考生是否都能将这些中文描述对应的恰当英文找到,除非是口语基础相当不错的考生,不然挑这些内容去讲无疑是搬起石头砸自己的脚.人物题还算是比较容易描述的了,那碰到物品题描述一个家用电器怎么办,如何去Describe?以awashing machine为例,我们能想到的内容可能是颜色(〝Its color is white.〞).大小(It’s one meterhigh.),别的似乎没什么可讲的了.这个时候就可以增加议论或评价.对于颜色,可以添加的内容是The reason why I chose this coloris that it matches well with my bathroom and besides, white has always been myfavorite color. It’s clean. You know. 而对于大小,也可评价一番It is actually the smallestsize at that time. I put it in the corner, and it takes only a littlespace.由此可见,评价性的语言通常比描述更为具体,可以看做是对前一句的补充说明或者是例证拓展.这种对于每一点信息都要给出议论的习惯一定要养成,可以使我们的说话内容顿时翻倍.第二招:变抽象为具体很多考生觉得口语话题难,就是因为没话说,特别是看似较为抽象的话题,如Describe asuccess.总觉得success肯定是较为光鲜的事迹,对照自己似乎找不到素材.其实如果把success具体化,看作是successfully didsth.,构思就会容易许多.可以讲成功地网上交友.购物,与网络话题结合,可以讲成功地交到一个知心益友,与朋友话题相结合.又如part3中的一些抽象问题,如How has technology changed people’slife?如果单单从较高层面总的去概括科技如何改变生活会觉得语言内容上频频受限,而换个角度,如果把change具体化,举自己的家庭为例,讲起来就顺口多了.Well,technology did change our life a lot. Take my family as an e_ample, ten yearsago, we used electric fan in hot summer but now the air-conditioning brings usmore comfort.第三招:扭转乾坤,话题巧转移短短的十几分钟时间内,讲自己有准备的话题内容肯定比临场发挥好,至少在语言质量上能略胜一筹.再次强调,口语考试重形式而非内容,只要能巧妙自然地将拿到的话题转到自己觉得熟悉的内容上来,必定会有更好的效果.如Apiece of goodlaw,这个难倒了众多考生的杀手题触及到我们较为不熟悉的领域——法律.而转身一想,法律其实是无所不在的,建议考生可以将其转移为环境问题,所以可以去讲〝限塑令(Thenew standard of plastic bags)的制定和执行;亦可转换成工作问题,讲〝劳工法〞(The Labor Law).简言之,口语成绩的提高应该是两方面结合,基本的语言能力辅之以巧妙的应对方法.希望考生们不论见到什么样〝为难〞的话题,都不要慌张,运用以上提及的一些方法,化难为易,化繁为简.最新5-8月雅思口语Part2话题范文:an activity that you feel e_citedYou should say:what you didwhere and when you did thiswho you shared the activity withand e_plain why this activity was new or e_citing for you.范文:A couple of weeks ago I went with some friends to play paintball. It’ssomething I’d never done before so I was interested to see what it would belike. My friend, who has been doing this activity for about a year, knew a placejust outside of the city where they have a special course, or site, all set upfor the participants.We arrived around 10am in the morning and one of the instructorse_plained tous all about the safety equipment, the rules, how to use the guns and talkedabout some basic techniques and how to deal with the obstacles on the site. Thattook about a half hour. Then we got ready and split into two teams. There werefour people in each team.We spent about 2 hours doing this activity. I was surprised because it’s morephysical than I thought, there’s a lot of running around involved but it’s alsovery e_citing. I could feel the adrenalin pumping inside me. It took me a fewminutes to get used to the idea of firing the gun and dodging other peopletrying to fire at me, but it was good fun as well as good e_ercise. I have toadmit that I was disappointed when I got ‘killed’ three times, but hey, it wasmy first time so I guess I still have a lot to learn if I want to become as goodat it as my friend.I can see why a lot of people like this activity, it’s quite addictive, andI’m sure the more you do it the better you become and then want to play evenmore. Two of my friends have been doing it for about a year now and they arequite serious about it. They have their own equipment and one of themparticipated in a local tournament last month.We all had a great time that day and then after we went for lunch together soit was a nice day out and it’s always interesting to try something new ande_citing that you haven’t done before. Maybe I’ll go again sometime in thefuture.最新5-8月雅思口语Part2话题范文:a website that you often useYou should say:where you saw itwhat it was aboutwhy you think it was an interesting advertisement.考官范文:what type of website it ishow you found out about itwhat it allows you to do, and why you find it useful.参考范文:I want to talk about a website called IELTS-Simon, which is a website I useand check every day.This is a website dedicated for the preparation of the IELTS e_am. It isupdated on a daily basis and is maintained by an e_-IELTS e_aminer calledSimon.I don t really remember how I found out about this website, but I guess itpopped out when I was googling for some IELTS materials on the web about twoyears ago. Since then, I ve been using and reading its contents every day. Of all the IELTS related websites available on the Internet, I think this isthe most useful one because of the following reasons. Firstly, we can e_pect anew IELTS lesson every day, and the lesson could be for the Listening, Reading,Writing, or Speaking part. Secondly, besides IELTS materials, Simon also givesus plenty of useful advice on grammar and tips to get high scores for thischallening e_am. And thirdly, which I think is the most important, visitors ofthis website can make comments and/or ask questions, which makes things moreinteractive and productive at the same time.All in all, this is a wonderful website that I recommend it to everyonepreparing for the IELTS.最新5-8月雅思口语Part2话题范文:interesting advertisement that you have seenYou should say:where you saw itwhat it was aboutwhy you think it was an interesting advertisement.考官范文:I m going to talk about an advertisement for Coca-Cola, which is one of thebiggest brands in the world. I ve seen Coke advertised everywhere, on postersand TV commercials.The advert shows a picture of Santa Claus smiling and holding a bottle ofCoke. I think the aim is to target children and associate (link/connect) thebrand with Christmas time.The advert is interesting because the company is deliberately trying toinfluence and attract children. The marketers are trying to capture youngcustomers. They are presenting the drink as something special, a gift forChristmas. However, Coca-Cola is not necessarily a healthy drink for children;it contains a lot of sugar. Maybe this kind of advertising manipulates childrenand encourages them to pester their parents.雅思八月复考:那些关于雅思口语考试不得不除了出国留学,雅思居然还有这么多用处?今天小编给大家带来雅思的作用,希望能够帮助8月雅思考试再新增考次_部分城市因疫情变化 8月雅思考试再新增考次!部分城市因疫情变化被迫取消!今天小编给大家带来8月雅思考试再取消北京语言大学_年8月雅思考试的通知雅思真人考官对话又回来了!今天小编给大家带来最新消息:雅思真人考官对话又回来了,最新消息:雅思真人考官对话又回来了雅思真人考官对话又回来了!今天小编给大家带来最新消息:雅思真人考官对话又回来了,。
中国英语能力量表 与国外考试对比
中国英语能力量表与国外考试对比全文共10篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Chinese English Proficiency Scale Versus Foreign ExamsHey guys, do you know that in China, we have our own way of measuring how well we speak English? It's called the Chinese English Proficiency Scale. Let's take a look at how it compares to foreign exams like the TOEFL or IELTS.First of all, the Chinese English Proficiency Scale has six levels, from Novice to Master. Each level has specific criteria for speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. This is different from foreign exams, which usually have just one overall score.In China, we also have our own English exams like the College English Test (CET) and the Public English Test System (PETS). These exams are used to measure our English skills for educational and professional purposes. Foreign exams like the TOEFL and IELTS are more commonly used for studying abroad or immigration.One cool thing about the Chinese English Proficiency Scale is that it's based on the language needs of Chinese people. So the topics and vocabulary are more relevant to us. Foreign exams may have topics that are more global or international in nature.But the downside is that the Chinese English Proficiency Scale is not as well known outside of China. So if you want to study or work abroad, you may still need to take a foreign exam like the TOEFL or IELTS.In conclusion, both the Chinese English Proficiency Scale and foreign exams have their pros and cons. It's all about finding the right test that fits your goals and needs. So keep studying hard, guys, and keep improving your English skills!

These exams are important because a lot of jobs and universities require a certain level of English proficiency. The China English Proficiency Scale helps us figure out where we stand compared to other people in China.But how does it compare to exams in other countries like the TOEFL or IELTS?

They focus on similar things like listening, speaking, reading, and writing, but they might have different test formats and questions.Some people might say that the China English Proficiency Scale is not as tough as the TOEFL or IELTS, while others might think it's just as challenging. It really depends on the person and how much they study and practice.Overall, the China English Proficiency Scale is a good way for us to see how we're doing in English compared to others in China.

Carbon
Pricing: A Breakthrough
The real problem is not the climate, or the lack of climate-science knowledge, and it’s not the lack of a common aspiration or goal. It’s not even the lack of blueprints for global action. The trouble is that negotiations end in acrimony or hollow victory statements. So the problem is to find and fix the cause of these negotiation failures.

Paris climate summit: UN negotiations 'need redesign'
OCT.13 CHINA DAILY
The UN climate negotiations are heading for failure and need a major redesign if they are to succeed, scientists say.The pledges that individual countries are offering ahead of the Paris climate summit in December are too entrenched(确立） in self interest instead of being focussed on a common goal.The researchers say the science of cooperation is being ignored.Instead, they say the negotiations should focus on a common commitment on the global price of carbon.This means countries would agree on a uniform charge for carbon pollution, a scheme（计划） that would encourage polluters to reduce their emissions. The researchers admit that with the Paris climate conference just weeks away and the fact that global carbon pricing is not already on the table, their idea is unlikely to have much influence. However, they say the science of cooperation should be taken into account for future.

初一英语阅读理解专项训练可打印全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1English Reading Comprehension Focused Training - A Student's GuideAs a junior high school student, one of the most critical skills we need to master is reading comprehension in English. It's not just about being able to decode words and understand their meanings; it's about being able to analyze, interpret, and draw inferences from written texts. That's why focused training in English reading comprehension is so essential.The Benefits of Focused TrainingYou might be wondering, "Why do I need focused training? Can't I just read more and get better?" While regular reading practice is undoubtedly helpful, focused training provides a structured approach that targets specific reading comprehension skills and strategies. Here are some of the benefits of focused training:Improved Reading Speed and AccuracyThrough targeted exercises and drills, focused training can help you read faster while maintaining accurate comprehension. You'll learn techniques for skimming, scanning, and identifying main ideas quickly.Enhanced Vocabulary BuildingFocused training often incorporates vocabulary-building exercises, exposing you to new words in context and helping you understand their meanings and usage more effectively.Better Understanding of Text StructuresDifferent types of texts (e.g., narratives, expository texts, persuasive essays) have distinct structures. Focused training will teach you to recognize and understand these structures, making it easier to comprehend the overall meaning and purpose of the text.Developed Inferencing SkillsReading comprehension isn't just about understanding the literal meaning of words; it's also about making inferences based on contextual clues and your own background knowledge. Focused training will help you develop these crucial inferencing skills.Improved Test PerformanceMany standardized tests, such as the TOEFL or IELTS, have a reading comprehension component. Focused training can help you prepare for these tests by exposing you to the types of questions and strategies needed to succeed.What to Expect from Focused TrainingFocused training in English reading comprehension typically involves a combination of targeted exercises, practice passages, and strategies for approaching different types of texts. Here's a general overview of what you can expect:Pre-Reading StrategiesYou'll learn techniques for previewing texts, activating background knowledge, and setting a purpose for reading. These strategies will help you approach texts more effectively and improve your overall comprehension.Vocabulary BuildingExpect to encounter exercises that focus on building your English vocabulary, such as matching words to definitions, identifying word roots and affixes, and using context clues to determine word meanings.Comprehension QuestionsA significant portion of focused training will involve answering comprehension questions based on various passages. These questions will target different reading comprehension skills, such as identifying main ideas, making inferences, understanding author's purpose and tone, and analyzing text structures.Post-Reading ActivitiesAfter reading a passage, you'll often engage in activities that reinforce your understanding, such as summarizing the main points, discussing the author's perspective, or applying the information to new situations.Strategy PracticeFocused training will introduce you to a variety of reading strategies, such as skimming for main ideas, scanning for specific information, annotating texts, and using graphic organizers to organize information.Tips for Effective Focused TrainingTo get the most out of your focused training in English reading comprehension, here are some tips to keep in mind:Be an Active ReaderDon't just passively read the passages; engage with the text by asking questions, making predictions, and connecting the information to your own experiences and knowledge.Practice RegularlyConsistency is key. Make focused training a regular part of your study routine, even if it's just for a short period each day. The more you practice, the more natural and effective your reading comprehension skills will become.Seek FeedbackDon't be afraid to ask for help or feedback from your teacher or tutor. They can provide valuable insights and guidance to help you improve your weaknesses and build on your strengths.Experiment with StrategiesDifferent reading strategies work better for different types of texts and individuals. Experiment with various techniques and find the ones that work best for you.Stay MotivatedReading comprehension is a complex skill that takes time and effort to develop. Don't get discouraged if progress seems slow. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small, and remindyourself of the long-term benefits of improved reading comprehension skills.ConclusionFocused training in English reading comprehension is an invaluable investment in your academic and personal growth. By dedicating time and effort to targeted exercises, practice passages, and strategy development, you'll not only improve your ability to understand and analyze written texts but also develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will serve you well in all aspects of life. Embrace the challenge, stay motivated, and remember that with consistent practice and a growth mindset, you can become a proficient and confident reader in English.篇2Middle School English Reading Comprehension PracticeHey there fellow students! As we all know, reading comprehension is a huge part of our English exams. That's why today I wanted to share a lengthy reading passage along with some practice questions. Hopefully this will help us get ready for those brutal tests!The passage is all about the history and cultural impacts of one of the most popular sports in the world - soccer (or football, as most countries call it). Let's dive in!The Global Game of SoccerSoccer is a sport loved and played by millions across the globe. While its origins are a bit murky, the game as we know it today has been around for centuries. Many civilizations had versions of a sport involving kicking a ball, from the ancient Chinese "Tsu Chu" to games played by Greek soldiers to stay fit. However, most historians credit the English for developing modern soccer rules in the 19th century.In 1863, representatives from schools across England met to standardize the guidelines of the game. They formed the Football Association (FA) and wrote down the first official laws of soccer. This included formalizing the number of players on each team, field dimensions, and outlawing the use of hands (which distinguished it from sports like rugby).From these humble beginnings, soccer quickly spread across Great Britain and then to the rest of the world. By the 1900s, it had become wildly popular across Europe and South America. The first international tournament, which later became the World Cup, kicked off in 1930 with teams from 13 nations.Since then, soccer has become one of the most-watched and played sports on Earth. The World Cup final match is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world, drawing billions of viewers every four years. Part of the game's appeal is its simplicity - requiring only a ball and open space to play. This has allowed it to cross cultural and economic borders globally.Professional soccer leagues exist on every continent populated with passionate fans. Clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Barcelona have supporters numbering in the tens of millions worldwide. Soccer superstars like Pele, Diego Maradona, and Lionel Messi have achieved international celebrity status through their skills on the pitch.Off the field, the culture surrounding soccer is also a significant part of the game's identity. For many, it is deeply intertwined with national pride and intense rivalries between countries and cities. Fans are well known for their face painting, chanting, merchandise collecting, and other dedicated traditions. Riots and violence have even broken out due to clashes between opposing fan groups.In many impoverished regions, soccer provides an important source of hope, joy and opportunity. Many professional players rose out of poverty by displaying talents first developed playingbarefoot with balls made of rags or bundled plastics on rough neighborhood fields. The chance to become the next superstar prospect motivates countless youths to practice constantly.So whether you're a passionate fan or someone who couldn't care less about sports, there's no denying the incredible global impact of soccer. The simple game played by strikers and defenders has become a cultural phenomenon crossing boundaries of language, religion and nationality. Where will the beautiful game go next?

As a middle school student, I know how important it is to get practice with English reading comprehension. Those reading sections on tests can be really tough if you don't prepare. That's why I've put together some tips and practice materials to help you out.First off, let's go over some strategies for attacking those reading comprehension passages and questions:Preview the questions first. Before you start reading the passage, skim through the questions so you know what to look for as you read. This helps guide your reading.Identify the main idea. As you read, try to summarize the overall gist or main point of the passage in your own words. Having the big picture in mind helps with comprehension.Mark key details. Underline or highlight any important names, dates, definitions, examples, or other specific details mentioned as you go. You'll likely need to refer back to these.Annotate the passage. Jot brief notes or summaries in the margins as you read each paragraph or section. This keeps you engaged and aids retention.Use context clues. If you stumble across an unfamiliar vocabulary word, look for context clues in the surrounding sentences that may hint at the meaning.Visualize descriptions. For passages with vivid imagery or descriptive details, create mental pictures in your mind to enhance comprehension and memory.Pay attention to structure. Notice transition words, paragraph breaks, and the overall organization and flow of ideas in the passage.Okay, now let's move on to some practice! Here are a few sample reading passages with questions to test your skills:Passage 1 (Historical)The Renaissance was a period of artistic, cultural, and intellectual revival that originated in Italy during the 14th century before spreading throughout Europe. This "rebirth" marked a transition from the medieval era to modernity, with a renewed interest in ancient Greco-Roman philosophy, art, and literature...Questions:What is the main idea of this passage?In what country did the Renaissance begin?What does the word "revival" mean in this context?...Passage 2 (Scientific)The water cycle is the continuous circulation of water between the earth's surfaces and the atmosphere. It is driven by energy from the sun, which causes water to evaporate from oceans, lakes, rivers, and soil. This moisture condenses into clouds, eventually falling as precipitation like rain or snow...Questions:Identify two forms of precipitation mentioned.According to the passage, what drives the water cycle?Explain what "condenses" means based on context clues....Passage 3 (Literary)In the famous novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the protagonist Scout Finch comes of age in a small Southern town haunted by racial injustice. With the help of her father Atticus, a principled lawyer, Scout is forced to confront harsh realities about prejudice and morality...Questions:What is the name of the main character?Which U.S. region is the novel set in?What does "protagonist" mean?...Those are just a few examples to get you started. The more practice passages and questions you drill, the better prepared you'll be for reading comprehension on tests. Don't getdiscouraged - it takes time and repetition, but your skills will improve! Mark up those passages, jot down notes, quiz yourself, and don't be afraid to re-read sections you struggle with.Mastering reading comp is also about building broader skills like focus, critical thinking, and attention to detail. Apply those strategies consistently and you'll be ready to ace those reading sections.I hope these tips and practice materials are helpful! Let me know if you need any other English reading resources or have additional questions. We're all in this together as we navigate middle school English. Wishing you the best of luck!。

在雅思口语中，如何表达不同意的决定
在雅思口语中，如何表达"不同意的决定"在雅思口语中，如何表达"不同意的决定"? 相信大家看了下文就明白了，快ger起来吧。
在雅思口语中，如何表达"不同意的决定"?Describe a decision made by others that you disagreed with.描述一个你不同意的决定。
You should say:What the decision was;How it was made;What you disagreed with;And explain why you disagreed with it.Well, I gotta say I disagree withmy parents’ decision about my path after graduation from oversea studies.You know, I am taking the IELTS now and plan to further my study in the UK. And after graduation, my intentionis to stay in the UK and get a job there. I mean compared withthe environment in Beijing, UK will be a better choice. I am sure if you have stayed in China for a while, you might have realized the serious air pollution problemslike smog or PM 2.5. The traffic here never stops bringing troubles to residents by presenting traffic jams. And the ridiculouslyhigh property price destroys dreams of so many young couples.And as far as I am concerned, UK is a pretty nice country. Natural environment is well preserved and we can always see the blue sky, while clouds, clear sea waters and clean streets. We can even see the stars clearly dottedin the night sky. And it is true that the educational system in the UK ranks top and it offers optimal business opportunities as well.However, the sad thing is that my parents strongly insist thatI come back to Beijing and work here after graduation. They believe that home is always the first choice to them, however dirty or polluted it is. And as said by my mother, if I could work in Beijing, all my families will be close-by and it will be easier for them to visit me or I visit them. Despite all our problems in the city, it can get better, which can be proved by the policies of support clean energy, advocating green transport, updating industries of heavy pollution.I don’t agree with them honestly. But what is funny is that I haven’t even got accepted by a UK university and they have made their decisions about what I shall do after graduation. You know, parents are always like that.TIPS不同意：disagree with意图;目的：intention与...相比较：compared with严重的空气污染：serious air pollution problems可笑地;荒谬地：ridiculously在我看来：as far as I am concerned星罗密布的：dotted清洁能源：clean energy重污染：heavy pollution雅思口语范文：别人做的你不同意的决定那开头就可以是“Well, this topic reminds me of my ex. The relationship between us had been on the rocks, but he still didn’t want to break up. The thing is, I see no point staying in the relationship ‘cause there’s no way things could work out.”如果是艰难的决定呢，就说“Breaking up with my ex is the toughest decision I’ve ever made.”然后就继续跟考官开始狗血小说的剧情吧：We had been going out for 10 years. We were high school sweethearts, and we even survived a 7-year long distance relationship. We didn’t broke up be cause we stopped loving each other, in fact, he’s already like family to me. But somehow, as we grew older, we just kind of grew apart. We started to have different values, and want different things in life. For example, he’s a workaholic. Sometimes I couldn’t reach him for days. But ironically, he’s also a traditional man who wants to settle down and start a family soon. I was like, ‘Are you kidding me? Are you sure you are mentally and physically ready for this?’ I mean, who wants a husband that’s nowhere to be found?So we started to have this big fight and I just thought, maybe we needed to take a break and figure out what we truly want.To be honest, things were not easy at first, I was heartbroken, and all those flashbacks were killing me. But gradually, I realized perhaps it’s for the best. I mean, if we want different things in life, we wouldn’t be happily married. And I turned out to be more independent after the breakup. So I guess, maybe I’m better off without him.知识点解析：on the rocks = a relationship or business that is on the rocks is having difficulties and is likely to fail soon 例如：Her marriage is on the rocks.there’s no way = used to say that there is no possibility that you will do something or that something will happen 例如：There's no way we could afford that sort of money.work out = to develop in a successful way 例如：My first job didn't work out.go out with somebody / go out together = (especially of young people) to spend time with somebody and have aromantic or sexual relationship with them 例如：Tom has been going out with Lucy for six weeks.How long have Tom and Lucy been going out together?grow apart (from somebody) = to stop having a close relationship with somebody over a period of time 例如：As we got older we just grew apart.Since moving to London, he's grown apart from many of his friends.settle down = to start to have a quieter way of life, living in one place 例如：When are you going to get married and settle down?start a family = have children 例如：Do they plan to start a family?flashbacks = a sudden, very clear, strong memory of something that happened in the past that is so real you feel that you are living through the experience again 例如：War veterans suffer from nightmares and flashbacks.be (all) for the best = used to say that although something appears bad or unpleasant now, it will be good in the end 例如：I don't want you to leave, but perhaps it's for the best.be better off (doing something) = used to say that somebody is/would be happier or more satisfied if they were in a particular position or did a particular thing 例如：She's better off without him.The weather was so bad we'd have been better off staying at home.雅思口语零基础到6.5分的建议1、多分类、勤总结雅思口语的话题非常多，我们无法预料所有的题目，如果考场上遇到自己没有接触过的话题的话是会让自己的心态受到很大的影响。

Maybe your parents are the ones who want to study again after being done with school for a really long time? Well, have I got the guide for you!Let me explain what a bachelor's degree is first. It's like being in the biggest grade level ever! Instead of learning lots of different subjects like math, reading, science and more, you get to pick just one Subject that you really really love and learn everything about it. The teachers are called professors and they know absolutely everything about your subject.Some of the most popular subjects that grown-ups study are business, computers, teaching, and nursing. But you can study almost anything - art, music, history, psychology, criminology to catch bad guys, or even rocket science! The choices are endless when you're a big kid going to college.Most bachelor's degrees take around four years to finish if you are going to school full-time. That's like being in 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th grade! Isn't that crazy? But I promise it's fun because you're learning about what you love.Okay, so how do big kids get into a bachelor's degree program? Well, first you have to apply by filling out forms and writing about why you want to study that subject so much. Almost all colleges also want you to take an English test to make sure you can read, write, listen and speak English really well.The most popular English tests are called the TOEFL, IELTS and Duolingo English Test. They all have some similar parts like reading passages and listening to conversations or lectures. You'll answer multiple choice questions to show how well you understood. For speaking, you'll have to talk out loud about a topic and pretend like you're giving a speech or having a conversation. Writing is usually an essay where you state your opinion and support it.The TOEFL test has a total score between 0 and 120. Most universities want you to get at least 80, but the best universities will want a score over 100. Yikes, that's high!The IELTS has a Overall Band Score between 1 and 9. A 6.5 score is good enough for many bachelor's programs, butuniversities may want a 7 or higher for their very hardest degrees.The Duolingo test has a max score of 160. A score of 105 is usually fine for most undergraduate admissions.No matter which English test you take, they are looking at your skills in Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing. You need to get pretty high scores in all of those sections.Applying to college and taking the English tests can feel super stressful for big kids, but just think how proud you'll be when you succeed! Having a bachelor's degree can open up so many new job opportunities and adventures.I know all this information might sound a bit confusing right now since you're just a little kid. But keep this guide somewhere safe, and when you're all grown up, crack it open again. It will help you get started on the amazing journey of higher education! The end goal of holding that hard-earned bachelor's degree diploma will be worth all the late nights of studying, I promise.Okay, that's all from me today. Go outside and play for now, but keep dreaming big dreams about getting your college degree someday! Never stop learning, kids. Peace out!篇2Hey there, big kids and grown-ups! Today I'm going to tell you all about getting a bachelor's degree in English when you're an adult. It's super cool that you want to learn more even after you're done with regular school. I think learning is fun and important at any age!So what is a bachelor's degree anyway? It's like a hugely advanced diploma that you get after studying a subject at a college or university for around 4 years. The bachelor's in English focuses on reading, writing, analyzing literature, and understanding different cultures and time periods. It's perfect for adults who love books, poetry, plays, and language!To get started on your bachelor's journey, you'll need to apply to universities that have English degree programs. The applications can be pretty long and complicated, with things like personal statements, transcripts from your earlier studies, standardized test scores, and letters of recommendation. Don't worry though, the schools have advisors who can help walk you through it.Once you get accepted, get ready for lots of reading and writing assignments! English degrees require you to read hundreds of books, poems, and plays from writers across different eras and cultures. You might read anything fromancient Greek epics to modern American novels. Then you'll analyze the themes, writing styles, historical context, and more through essays and class discussions. It's like being a super book detective!Some of the classes you might take include British Literature, American Literature, World Literature, Shakespeare, Poetry, Creative Writing, and Composition. There are also lots of opportunities to study foreign languages, drama, journalism, and other related subjects. The classes will really expand your mind and help you understand the world from new perspectives.But it's not all just reading and writing papers. You'll likely have group projects, presentations, and opportunities to share your creative work too. The professors really want you to put your new skills into practice and be an active learner. Don't be afraid to speak up, ask questions, and be fully engaged!To make sure you're mastering the material, there will be plenty of tests and quizzes along the way. Some will be on individual books or units, while others might be big cumulative exams at the end of each term. For those big exams, you'll need to review all the authors, literary periods, and concepts from multiple classes in one big mental workout!The really big test though, is the final graduation requirement - the senior thesis or capstone project. This is a huge research paper or creative work that you'll spend months developing under the guidance of a faculty advisor. It's meant to show off everything you've learned and allow you to make an original, insightful contribution to English studies. Pushing through and completing an amazing thesis is a huge accomplishment!Once you finish the whole 4-year degree program, including all the required coursework, exams, and that epic thesis project, you'll officially graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in English! You'll get to attend a fancy convocation ceremony and receive your hard-earned degree diploma. Wow, just think about how proud your family will be to see you accomplish such an impressive goal as an adult!Having that bachelor's credential can open up all sorts of new career opportunities too. Some English grads go into fields like teaching, publishing, journalism, marketing, public relations, or any other job involving excellent communication and critical thinking abilities. Others may continue their studies even further to get a master's or PhD. The world is your oyster with that English degree in hand!I know it sounds like a whole lot of reading, writing, and brainpower. But just take it step-by-step and subject-by-subject. As long as you're passionate about literature and language, the hard work will be super rewarding. An English degree gives you a rare chance to immerse yourself in the beauty of the written word while exercising your intellect like never before.

Don't worry, this guide will help make it fun and easy!First up, what's a degree? It's like a really impressive medal or trophy that shows you've learned a ton of new stuff atuniversity or college.

One of the biggest tests is showing you can speak, read, write and listen in English really well. That's where this guide comes in!The English CourseBefore you can take the English test for your degree, you need to learn everything there is to know about the English language. That's what the English course is for! It's kind of like super-charged English classes you took as a kid, but even more advanced.In the course, you'll practice things like:Vocabulary: Learning tons of new English words forgrown-up things like business, science, and politics.Grammar: Mastering all those crazy rules about verbs, adjectives, and putting sentences together properly.Reading: You'll read lots of thick books, articles, and documents to understand complex ideas.Writing: Crafting perfect essays, reports, and stories to show off your English skills.Listening: Watching videos and audio clips to catch every word that's spoken in English.Speaking: Discussing, debating, and giving presentations out loud to practice your fluent English.It's a lot of work, but completely worth it! Your teachers will guide you every step of the way to get your English up to a super high level.The Big English TestOnce you've aced all your English course materials, it's time for the exciting final exam! This big test has a fancy name: The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). It comes in two different styles:The TOEFL iBT (internet-based test)For this one, you'll go to a special test center with a computer. The exam has four sections:Reading: You'll read some passages and answer questions to show how well you understand things like the main ideas, details, and vocabulary.Listening: You'll hear conversations and lectures, then answer what you listened to. Better have those ears ready!Speaking: This part can feel a little scary, but you'll just need to talk out loud about some topics and respond to questions. Pretend you're talking to a friend!Writing: For these two tasks, you'll type out a short essay about what you think and hear on a recording.The TOEFL Paper-Based TestThis old-school version is written on...you guessed it...paper! The content is pretty similar to the iBT, just without the speaking section.No matter which version you take, the TOEFL tests all your English skills in one big go. Scores range from 0 to 120, and universities usually want around 80 or higher for admission. That means you need to study hard!But don't worry, there are plenty of practice tests, prep books, tutors, and online resources to get you ready.

Even though English is their first language, they still have to take this big test made for non-native English speakers!The TOEFL exam has four sections testing reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills at an advanced level. For the reading part, they read some difficult passages and have to answer questions showing they understood everything. The listening has audio recordings of lectures and conversations that they have to listen carefully to and summarize.The speaking section requires them to talk out loud about opinion questions and describe images, all while being recorded. Finally, there are two big writing tasks - one essay about their opinion on something, and one analyzing the main points of a lecture video.Getting a good TOEFL score requires tons of practice with the exact types of questions on the test. Jamie's mom and friends have been taking TOEFL prep classes and using official study materials to get ready. The exam is super challenging, but acing it proves you have professional English skills.Jamie's mom has been working so unbelievably hard on her bachelor's degree and TOEFL exam for the past few years. Her brain must be completely fried from all the reading, writing, studying, and preparing! I'm in awe of how dedicated she's been.All that effort will totally pay off though. With an English bachelor's degree and a high TOEFL score, grown-ups like Jamie's mom have wayyyy more awesome job opportunities open to them. They can apply to be editors, translators, English teachers overseas, marketing writers, and all sorts of other careers revolving around language skills.I'm not sure what career Jamie's mom wants after finishing her degree. But I do know she'll feel an amazing sense of accomplishment from achieving such a huge goal through years of perseverance. Maybe someday when I'm an adult, I'll have the chance to take on an academic challenge like that too!So that's the scoop on adult bachelor's degree programs and exams for English from a kid's perspective. It's someseriously intense stuff requiring incredible dedication. But talk about an impressive life accomplishment! I have so much respect for grown-ups tackling educational journeys like this to improve their skills and open new doors. You keep rocking it, adult students!篇5Adult Higher Education Bachelor's Degree English Courses and Exams - A Guide for KidsHi kids! Have you ever wondered what it's like for grown-ups to go to university and get a bachelor's degree? It can be a really exciting journey filled with new experiences and challenges. One important part is taking English courses and passing English exams. Let me tell you all about it!When adults decide to go back to school after being in the working world, it's called adult higher education. Maybe they didn't get to finish their degree when they were young. Or maybe they want to study something new to get an even better job. Either way, they have to take a bunch of classes just like you do in regular school!One of the classes grown-ups need to take is English. Now you might be thinking - but don't grown-ups already knowEnglish? Well, yes they do speak and write in English pretty well. But these English classes are super duper advanced. The teachers expect the adults to read really hard books and articles. They have to write huge essays and research papers too, much longer than anything you've done!The English classes cover all sorts of neat topics. There are classes on literature where they read ancient stories, plays, and poems from long ago. There are classes on proper grammar, making sure they can communicate clearly and correctly. Some classes focus on professional writing skills that they'll need for their future careers. Isn't that cool?But here's the really exciting part - the grown-ups have to pass big, important exams to get their degrees! These exams Test their English skills to the max. One exam is just on reading comprehension. They have to read super complex passages and answer questions proving they understood everything.Another major exam is the writing test. Can you imagine having to write a huuuuge essay or research paper in just a few hours? The grown-ups have to write clearly, use proper grammar, and organize their thoughts coherently. If even one part is messy, they could fail the whole thing! No pressure though, right?There are also exams on speaking and listening comprehension. The grown-ups might have to give a presentation out loud and answer questions from professors. Or they'll listen to lectures and conversations and get tested on what they heard. It's like those listening exercises you do in class, but a million times harder!I know what you're thinking - why do the grown-ups put themselves through all this stress? Well, passing those big English exams is mandatory to get their bachelor's degrees. Without the degree, they can't get that job promotion or career they want. That's why they work so incredibly hard, year after year, taking difficult English classes and studying like crazy for the exams. Pretty admirable, right?All that pressure and work has to be worth it in the end though. Imagine how proud the grown-ups will feel when they finally pass those massive English tests and graduate! They can walk across the stage, get their diplomas, and celebrate with their families. After years of sacrifices and late nights studying, they achieved their dream bachelor's degree. That makes all the stress from English class and exams feel well worth it.So there you have it, kids - the inside scoop on what it's like for grown-ups to take intense English courses and exams fortheir bachelor's degrees. It's definitely not easy, but graduating makes it all worthwhile. Who knows, when you're all grown up, you might decide to go back to university yourself! You'll be an old pro at English by then after all your practice as a kid. Maybe someday you'll be the one stressed out cramming for those big tests! For now though, just focus on your English homework and be grateful you don't have to write enormous research papers...yet!篇6The Big Kids' Guide to Getting Your Grown-Up DegreeHey kids! You know how you go to elementary school, then middle school, then high school? Well, after that, lots ofgrown-ups go to an even bigger school called college or university to get an extra-special degree called a bachelor's degree. Getting one of these can help grown-ups get really cool jobs and make lots of money!But what if you're already a grown-up and you never got to go to college after high school? No worries, there's something called adult higher education that lets big kids like you go back to school to finally get that bachelor's degree you missed out on. Let me explain how it works!Applying to an Adult College ProgramThe first step is to find a university or college that offers adult education programs for bachelor's degrees. These are designed just for grown-ups who want to go back to school after being out for a few years. The application process is similar to applying for a job. You'll need to:• Fill out a long form with info like your name, birthdate, address, previous education, etc.• Write a super neat essay explaining why you w ant to get your degree• Get transcripts (like fancy report cards) from your old schools• Maybe take an entrance exam to show you're smart enoughOnce you get accepted into the adult program, you're ready to start taking classes!Taking Classes as a Grown-Up StudentAs an adult student, you'll take the same kinds of classes as regular college kids, but on a schedule that works better for grown-ups with jobs and families. A lot of programs offer nightclasses a couple evenings per week, weekend classes, or even online classes you can do from home! No more homework or pop quizzes though - this is the real deal.The classes you'll take depend on what kind of bachelor's degree you want. Some popular ones are:• Business• Account ing• Nursing• Criminal Justice• Education• CommunicationsNo matter what subject you pick, plan on taking around 40 classes spread over 4 years to earn your full degree. The classes will cover all sorts of fascinating topics in your field, plus you'll have to take some generals like English, math, science and history too.Passing Your ClassesStaying on top of the coursework is super important because, unlike when you were a kid, bad grades can get you kicked out of the program! Here are some tips for passing each class:• Attend every single class and pay close attention• Take excellent notes to study from• Read every chapter and assignment fully• Ask the professor whenever you're confused• Form study groups with other students• Start projects and papers way ahead of the due dateIt'll be a lot of hard work, but if you study really diligently, you can pass all your classes with A's and B's!Getting That Degree!If you successfully pass every class over the 4 years, you'll finally get to attend a super fun graduation ceremony! You'll walk across a big stage in a fancy robe and flat hat while your friends and family cheer. At the end, the university president will hand you your actual bachelor's degree on a piece of fancy paper. Yay, you did it!With a shiny new bachelor's degree, you can apply for way better grown-up jobs that pay really well. Getting this degree as an adult shows you're a hard worker who never gave up on their dreams. How cool is that?So there you have it, kids - the full scoop on going back to school as a grown-up to earn your bachelor's degree. It'll take lots of dedication and brainpower, but nothing beats the amazing feeling of accomplishing such a big goal later in life.

We had better train the skill of the fast reading when we do the exercises. Our aim is that we can read 70 words per minute.Then we will talk about the Writing. We should learn some important skills in the IELTS Writing books first.After that we may practise writing some essays with some models.The last one is the Speaking. It will need very long exercise. Every day we should try to talk in English with friends and the foreign teachers. Finally we will find that speaking English is as easy as speaking Chinese.。
福建省莆田市荔城区莆田第二中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语(试卷)
2023-2024 年莆田二中学年高一上期中联考(时间：120 分钟满分150)第Ⅰ卷(选择题共95 分)第一部分听力（略）第二部分阅读（共两节, 满分50 分）第一节（共15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分37.5 分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A 、B 、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ARecently a growing number of foreign universities, such as the University of Cambridge, are accepting China's gaokao results as one of their admission standards(录取标准).Is the Chinese college entrance exam being recognized globally? Four readers share their opinions:Cecilia Zhang(China)The gaokao is a really difficult exam. If possible, it can be used as one of the indicators( 指标) for foreign universities, in addition to other indicators, such as how well they speak the target language. The students, who perform well in the gaokao,also have the ability to successfully adapt to( 适应) Western styles of education. I believe accepting the gaokao as an indicator is a win-win for Chinese students and overseas universities.Wchao37(US)In fact,gaokao is perhaps much more difficult than the SAT or ACT exams. You can get a perfect score of 1600 on the SAT but not in the gaokao, partly because the SAT is a machine-scored multiple-choice exam. Do you know anyone that has ever achieved a perfect score in the gaokao?Harry01 (UK)Hundreds of students from China have entered universities in the UK I using their gaokao scores which requires that their knowledge of English be above a certain level. This measure has benefited specific groups of students from various background s in China.Mbursian(Canada)In order to attend a university in an English-speaking country,a student needs to have an acceptable band score on the IELTS.Most importantly, students need an acceptable knowledge of the language spoken in any country they plan to study in. Now the Chinese gaokao is closer to meeting the requirements of different countries.21. Who believes accepting the Chinese gaokao is a win-win?A. Cecilia ZhangB. Wchao37.C. Harry01.D. Mbursian.22. What is most important for Chinese students planning to study abroad?A. The IELTS score.B. Enough test preparation.C. The Chinese gaokao score.D. Knowledge of the native language.23. What does the text intend to tell the readers?A. The gaokao will replace other tests.B. The gaokao is becoming globally accepted.C. The gaokao is the most difficult of all tests.D. The University of Cambridge made a good decision.BThis was the first real task I received in my new school.It seemed simple:go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different!One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts(花生), while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice;let the coin decide.I flipped( 掷)a coin and Ah! Tails(背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later,I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange.I looked around the room,only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost.“What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Oh well,I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report,it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of independence.”The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?Of course,my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless,I decided to turn this around.I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair,and I believed I should get a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster's office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.24. The task I received was to find information about .A. uses for peanutsB. American War of IndependenceC. George WashingtonD. my headmaster Miss Lancelot25. People in the class acted strangely because .A. I was too proud of my homeworkB. I mistook what the homework was aboutC. the whole world suddenly became quietD. the teacher's face turned to a stone26. We can infer(推断) from the passage that .A. the headmaster didn't like the writer at allB. the writer's classmates felt sad at his mistakeC. the writer knew little about American historyD. the writer's grandpa was a very wise man27. Which of the following proverbs can best describe the main idea of this story?A. Seeing is believing.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. One is never too old to learn.D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.CA recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content.Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don't read.But how to build a habit of reading?Like any habit,the trick is in figuring out what suits you. The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading.“I always have a book next to wherever I put my phone,”My friend Jimmy once told me.“So if I want to check my phone,I physically can see the book there. Nine times out often, I end up reading the book instead of using my phone for nothing.”Another challenge is time,and in that case, audiobooks(有声书)can be a good choice. Audiobooks are great for filling the mind while you're on the way to work, washing dishes or working out at the gym.If you're still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit, the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure. You should free yourself from the opinion that only important or educational books are worth reading. There's no-shame in rereading the books that made you fall in love with reading in the first place. Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying.28. What is the most difficult part in forming the reading habit?A. Getting reading skills.B. Finding a great book.C. Having limited time.D. Getting reading started.29. What is the advantage of audiobooks according to the text?A. They are time saving.B. They provide more pleasure.C. They help brain development.D. They offer more book choices.30. Why is rereading old favourite books a good idea?A. It helps re start reading.B. It is of great convenienceC. It improves the taste for art.D. It can increase your patience.31. What can be the best title for the text?A. Method of killing free timeB. Advantages of using audiobooksC. Way to choose educational booksD. Tips on developing a reading habitDLast Friday,a special thing took place at the National Theater of Korea.A robot called EveR 6led an orchestra(管弦乐队)in a performance of Korean music. Robots have led orchestras in other countries, but this was the first time ever in Korea.EveR 6 is a robot built by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH).It's about as tall as a person,and has a human-like face that can show feelings. EveR 6 has joints(关节) in its neck, shoulders, etc. As a result, it can move its arms quickly in many different directions.But EveR 6 doesn't think on its own like some Artificial Intelligence programs. Instead, it has a limited groupof movements that it has been trained to perform.To make these movements as natural as possible, EveR6’s movements are learned from real human conductors.When EveR 6 moved its baton(指挥棒)for the first time,a piece of music rang out. Every movement of the robot's arms brought more instruments into the mix,and the orchestra's music grew louder and more exciting. Mr White, a human conductor,was impressed with the way EveR6moved.“The robot was able to present such difficult moves much better than I had imagined,”he said.But the robot still is not nearly ready to supersede human conductor.Mr White says the robot's greatest weakness is that it can't hear.“Some people think that conducting is just about hand waving and keeping the beat,” says Mr White. But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra, so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays.Mr White doesn't think robots are likely to replace human conductors. But he believes robots could be helpfulin situations like practice parts where the same thing needs to be done many times.32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The effect of EveR 6.B. The advantage of EveR 6.C. The importance of EveR 6.D. The basic information of EveR 6.33. What does the underlined word“supersede”in paragraph 5 mean?A. Look forward to.B. Show interest in.C. Take the place of.D. Make an impression on.34. Which of the following may Mr White agree with?A. Robots' role as a conductor will be overlooked.B. Robots could work in some fields of conductors' work.C. Robots are useless in practice parts of a conductor.D. Robots will replace human conductors.35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A.Science.B. Sports.C. Health.D. Education.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
