这些精选出来的文章作为必须背诵的素材。原来的文档很多都有或多或少的小错误。这里我都精心对照过,并且尽力避免出现错误。 蓝色加粗是考研重点词汇,要从课文句子中掌握其用法,不是很熟的最好查一下牛津或者其他词典;加阴影紫色字体是考研用短语和句型。划线的重点要熟练应用的句子,尽量应用到作文中去。 对这36篇文章最好是听写、翻译、背诵一步步来。先把文章听写出来,然后翻译成中文,再把中文翻译成英文,最后背诵。不过这个过程很花时间,但是也能提高英语能力。如果单纯考研应试,英语不想考那么高分,而其他科目需要的时间多点,那就只背诵吧。 背诵是一件很痛苦的事情,实在背不下来,可以给自己定一个量的要求: 50遍啊50遍! 甚至更强的 100遍啊100遍 读了50遍以上就算背不出来也很熟练了吧。 语言是背出来,模仿磁带的读音,大声跟读大声的背,将可以达到听说读写齐头并进。 新概念三 Lesson 14 A noble gangster 贵族歹徒 There was a time when the owners of shops and businesses in Chicago had to pay large sums of money to gangsters in return for protection. If the money was not paid promptly, the gangsters would quickly put a man out of business by destroying his shop. Obtaining protection money is not a modern crime. As long ago as the fourteenth century, an Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood, made the remarkable discovery that people would rather pay large sums of money than have their life work destroyed by gangsters. |
