多面的GRE多面的复习

多面的GRE多面的复习我看红宝就看了这一遍，但这一遍中包含了无数遍。之后我在临近考试的两个星期里重新看了一遍红宝，算是最后的复习。整个词汇复习中我从来没有用过韦氏词典，蓝宝也只看了a和b开头的词。我觉得这一方面因为我开始看的是99红宝，那里面英文释义比较仔细，另一方面是我对词汇复习不止靠单纯背诵词的意思。我复习词汇的手段还有三个，那就是读，听和看。（1）读我在背诵红宝的同时，因为时间并不是很紧迫，所以选择了一些英语原文读物配合单词记忆。其中最让我印象深刻的是亨利米勒的《北回归线》，henry miller's tropic of cancer. 红宝上有的词几乎它里面都可以看到这些词不断重现。虽然这本小说属于实验派，内容也比较不符合我们构建社会主义和谐社会标准，但是我随手从图书馆挑来的书在我背诵gre词汇的过程中给了我莫大的帮助。我背诵到g开头的词时，见到许多gre单词，也见到许多不认识的词，结果我背到r，发现这些不认识的词大部分都是gre 单词，再背到z，就更多了。这本书我一共看了5遍以上，这些gre 单词就在身临其境的感受中被我全部记下来了。就连集邮家，杠杆的支点fulcrum，伪经，等等不怎么常见的词都看得到，何况其他词？而且这本书并不像英国人写的读物一样晦涩难懂，henry miller用美国人一贯直白简约的风格写的句子基本上都很简单，一看就懂。

基本上我每天背诵的新词，我在晚上临睡觉之前翻看北回归线时都会碰到不少，这真是让人很激动地事情，记住了，你就很快乐，没记住，你起码知道这个词可以用在这样的情景，你大致可以猜猜看它的意思，第二天再翻红宝来看看，印象岂不是更加深刻？其他比较好的，容易懂又词汇多的比如阿加莎的侦探小说。尼罗河惨案，东方快车杀人案等等都是她写的，她是1930年代英国当红侦探小说家，而且她的书比较容易买到或借到。那个cantankerous 我印象很深刻，就是因为她形容书里面一个老太婆cantankerous. 我推荐不太喜欢看小说的g友们 ___日报英文的世界新闻版和文艺版，世界新闻版都是正宗路透社美联社的人写的，里面也有很多gre单词，但是量不大，因为gre单词中偏文学的词还是挺多的，这些词一般新闻里不会太多，比如mawkish就肯定没有。然后可以看文艺版，文艺版的文章基本上是中国人写的，所以就只找单词看就可以了，文章都会很容易懂。我的许多关于西方音乐的词汇就是从那来的，因为它专门开辟了bulletin播报北京文艺界演出的信息，什么爱乐乐团来演奏某某人的交响乐，北京杂技团又有新演出之类，acrobatic这个词就是这么记住的。第二就是看21世纪，别看21世纪内容简单，词可不少，而且21世纪最大的好处就是还有词汇注释，省得自己再去查。第三就是英语世界，这本书实在是什

A unctuous...loath B brazen...reluctant C ignoble...concerned D obsequious...eager E gregarious...willing 答案:A || 某填空练习册:B || 某书:E (个人支持A) 解析: A: 不表里不一地表面上赞同别人，PAT同学不愿意表现出不吭声地同意别人的样子。MW里对unctuous有条解释是insincerely smooth in speech and manner, 就是表面看上去很同意但其实不同意。这个跟appear acquiescent对应得很好。而loath表示反义，对应far from。 E的gregarious跟acquiescent没有逻辑对应，群居跟默许没有交集或者补集。 B的brazen在MW里有四个意思：1黄铜做的2大吵大闹的3黄铜色的4厚颜无耻的; 只有2跟acquiescent看上去有点关系，但是是反义，所以解释不通。(by lastangel) # 最新题二9510 # S1-8 遗漏条件 x

罗永浩自荐书

罗永浩的自荐信来自: 木多(岩中花树) 2008-06-24 14:10:32 俞校长您好：我先对照一下新东方最新的招聘要求： 1.有很强的英语水平，英语发音标准英语水平还好，发音非常标准，我得承认比王强老师的发音差一点。很多发音恐怖的人(宋昊、陈圣元之流)也可以是新东方的品牌教师，我不知道为什么要要求这一条，尽管我没这方面的问题。 2.大学本科或以上学历，英语专业者优先真不喜欢这么势利的条件，这本来应该是实力、马力之流的学校的要求。 3.有过考TOEFL、GRE的经验 GRE考过两次。 4.有教学经验者，尤其是教过以上科目者优先教过后来被国家明令禁止的传销课，半年。 5.口齿伶俐，中文表达能力强，普通话标准岂止伶俐，简直凌厉，普通话十分标准，除了对卷舌音不太在意(如果在意，平舌音也会发错，所以两害相衡取其轻)。 6.具备较强的幽默感，上课能生动活泼我会让他们开心。 7.具备较强的人生和科学知识，上课能旁征博引除了陈圣元，我在新东方上过课的老师(张旭、王毅峰、王昆嵩)都和文盲差不多，当然他们还小。说到底，陈圣元的全部知识也只是在于让人看不出他没有知识而已。 8.具备现代思想和鼓动能力，能引导学员为前途奋斗

新东方的学员是最合作，最容易被鼓动的，因为他们来上课的最大目的就是接受鼓动，这个没有问题。 9.年龄在40岁以下 28岁。下面是我的简历或是自述：罗永浩，男，1972年生于吉林省和龙县龙门公社。在吉林省延吉市读初中时，因为生性狷介,很早就放弃了一些当时我讨厌的主课,比如代数、化学、英文,后来只好靠走关系才进了当地最好的一所高中,这也是我刚正不阿的三十来年里比较罕见的一个污点。因为我和我国教育制度格格不入又不肯妥协, 1989年高中二年级的时候就主动退学了。有时候我想其实我远比那些浑浑噩噩地从小学读到硕士博士的人更渴望高等教育,我们都知道钱钟书进清华的时候数学是零分(后来经证实其实是15分),卢冀野入东南大学的时候也是数学零分，臧克家去山东国立青岛大学的时候也是差不多的情况。今天的大学校长们有这样的胸襟吗?当然,发现自己文章写的不如钱钟书是多年后的事情了,还好终于发现了。退学之后基本上我一直都是自我教育(当然我的自我教育远早于退学之前),主要是借助书籍。因为家境还勉勉强强,我得以相对从容地读了几年书, “独与天地精神往来“。基于“知识分子要活得有尊严,就得有点钱”这样的认识(其实主要是因为书价越来越贵), 我从1990年至1994年先后筛过沙子,摆过旧书摊,代理过批发市场招商,走私过汽车,做过期货,还以短期旅游身份去韩国销售过中国壮阳药及其他补品。令人难堪的是做过的所有这些都没有让我“有点钱“,实际上,和共同挣扎过的大部分朋友们比起来,我还要庆幸我至少没有赔钱。我渐渐意识到我也许不适合经商,对一个以知识分子自许的人来说,这并不是很难接受的事情,除非这同时意味着我将注定贫穷。 1994年夏天,我找了个天津中韩合资企业的工作并被派去韩国学习不锈钢金属点焊技术, 1995年夏天回国的时候,很不幸我姐姐也转到了这家天津的公司并担任了副总经理,为了避嫌我只好另谋出路。 1995年8月至1996年初,经一位做传销公司(上海雅婷)的老同学力邀,我讲了半年左右的传销课，深受广大学员爱戴。遗憾的是国家对这种有争议的商业形式采取的不是整顿而是取缔的政策,所以看到形势不对,我们就在强制命令下达之前主动结束了生意。因为那时候我爱上了西方音乐(古典以外的所有形式),大概收有上千张英文唱片,为了听懂他们在唱些什么，我在讲传销课的同时开始学习一度深恶痛绝的英文。我在一个本地的三流私立英语学校上了三个月的基础英语课，后来因为他们巧立名目拒付曾经答应给我的奖金(我去法院起诉过，又被法院硬立名目拒绝受理)，我只好又自学了。

新GRE填空解题攻略

新GRE填空解题攻略新GRE填空解题攻略,一词一句都能成为线索,下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。新GRE填空解题攻略一词一句都能成为线索经小站教育老师介绍，GRE填空的单词比较基础，通常属于中级难度的单词。另外，复习GRE填空的时候对句子结构的分析，对于阅读是很有好处的。掌握度的标准是，你看到单词能够马上回想出，它的第一个意思就可以了。这里没有说只需要背单词的第一个意思。只是说刚开始的时候，只要这样要求就可以了。 GRE填空复习相比其他项目来说还是比较简单的，如果你的阅读能力没有问题的话，做起这种题目十分轻松的。如果平时阅读理解不是特别好的同学可以借着这个机会先从句子练习开始。认真执行GRE填空复习计划，就能取得理想的成绩。下面是小站教育带来新GRE填空题解题攻略。学会简化填空中的句子根据构造的成分，句子可以分成主干和修饰成分。主干是一个完整的主谓结构，而修饰成分可能是从句，定语或者状语。为了准确快速地理解句子的意义，你必须分析句子的结构。但有时你并不需要掌握句子的确切意义，因为有些句子逻辑关系极为明显，你只需通过这些揭示逻辑关系的过渡词或者语气词和理解其中的关键词就可以解题。所以，很多时候你并不需要真正的掌握句意，你只需将不可能包含过渡词和关键词的修饰成分略掉，这样可以帮助你快速地找到正确

答案。关注过渡词与关键词特别留意那些决定句子结构的过渡词，这些过渡词经常是连词，有时也会是语气态度词。通过它，你可以确定句子的组织形式(并列，或者转折)，选择与之相匹配的词。关键词是指那些决定句子内涵，正负态度和贬褒意义的词汇。一旦你识别了这些关键词，再由句子的构造的逻辑关系，空格的内容就显而易见。这里，最重要的是你对过渡词和关键词的敏感性。 GRE考试填空练习题全方位解析 55、Scientists who are on the cutting edge of research must often violate common sense and make seemingly_________assumptions because existing theories simply do not _________newly observed phenomena. (A) radical...confirm (B) vague...incorporate (C) absurd...explain (D) mistaken...reveal (E) inexact...corroborate 分析：空格1 填入一个形容词，修饰假设(assumptions)，and 连接两个动词表示因果关系，所以空格 1应该体现违背了常识(violate common sense)的结果。空格2

新GRE句子填空6选2题目解析

新　变　化将于２００７年秋季开始的修订版ＧＲＥ考试，也就是大家所关心的新ＧＲＥ考试，将会在下面几个方面有所变化：部分，题目由以前的７题变成了１４题，并且答案选项的模式也变化了。旧的考试填空的答案选项分为一空题目的答案和两空题目的答案，但是无论哪种，都是五选一。修订版的考试样题中，填空１４道题目按答案选项分布如下：一空题中６选２的有５道题目，一空题中５选１的有４道题目，两空题有４道题目，三空题有１道题目。因此在选择答案的模式上，更能考查知识的客观性。其中两空题和三空题的答案选项变成了每个空格分别３选１，也就是说，每个空格要单独进行选择，每个选项由以前的５个变成了３个。这样的话，随机选中答案的概率，两空题从以前的１／５变成了现在的１／９，新出现的三空题随机选中正确答案的概率变成了１／２７。因此难度相对增加，所以就不能像以前一样，通过一次选择判断出两空题惟一正确的答案了。尽管如此，两空题和三空题的解题逻辑基本上还是和以前的两空题一样。填空题目里面惟一真正新增的题型就是一空题目里面的６选２，这里重点分析一下。既然６选２是考查同义类比词，因此如果六个选项里面只有一对同义词对的话，必然就是正确答案了。但如果有两对同义词对的话，那么就要根据句子的逻辑关系再进行进一步的判断了，而这个关系无非就是以前旧题型中要考查的同义重复和反义重复。下面我们来分析一下具体的样题（样题来自ＥＴＳ官方网站）。美国教育考试服务中心（ＥＴＳ）２月份宣布，今年９月在全球启动的新ＧＲＥ考试将同步在中国举行，而现行ＧＲＥ考试将于今年７月３１日截止。新ＧＲＥ考试将于今年７月１日开始报名，考试时间为今年９月１６日。作为６０年来最大的一次改革，新ＧＲＥ考试将更注重考查考生的研究能力。新ＧＲＥ考试题目将从现行的随机变化性改为每名考生同时使用相同的考题。考试方式由现行的ＰＢＴ或ＣＢＴ模式改为ｉＢＴ的模式，考试总时长为４小时左右。其中语言推理部分考２个ｓｅｃｔｉｏｎ，每个ｓｅｃｔｉｏｎ限时４０分钟；数学部分考２个ｓｅｃｔｉｏｎ，每个ｓｅｃｔｉｏｎ限时４０分钟；作文部分依然是ａｒｇｕｅ和ｉｓｓｕｅ两个分项，每个分项限时３０分钟。新ＧＲＥ考试与以往不同的是，考生除了在机考考点完成写作部分外，语文和数学部分的考试也将在计算机上完成。取消笔考形式，将机考和笔试两考合并后，考生将在一天内完成整个ＧＲＥ考试。现行的分析性写作部分也将更名为思辨性思考及分析性写作，以便更准确地反映考生的能力。除了考试形式改变以外，新ＧＲＥ考试还将推出新的分数换算标准，此标准将于今年１１月初公布。考生将可在考试后的１５￣１８个工作日内查询考试成绩。考试内容相比较之下，语言推理部分的变化是最大的，以前语文部分是分为填空、类比、阅读、反义四个小单元，改革后变成了只有填空和阅读两大分项。虽然修订版的新考试中取消了类比和反义题目，但其考查的内容并没有完全消失，具体体现在填空部分的６选２题目上，这种题目实际上就是考查类比和反义内容。关于修订版的ＧＲＥ考试中语文题目中的填空 ◎　文／杨子江１２?New Oriental English 新ＧＲＥ句子填空６选２题目解析
