Lai Shixiong, 68, president of the Ivy League Analytical English magazine based in Taiwan, believes that constant practice and hard work are the keys to mastering English

Like many non-native speakers, Lai failed when he started learning English. When he was in high school, he once got the unbelievably low mark of seven out of 100 in an English test. He almost gave up on English, but then he graduated from high school and enrolled(入学 )in a military(军队的) school, where he met a classmate who was very good at English.

Amazed by his classmate’s American accent, Lai decided to start learning English from the very beginning. To correct his pronunciation, Lai practiced phonetic symbols(音标) hundreds of times everyday using vinyl records(黑胶唱片).

Now that he was able to pronounce words, he began to practice dialogues. “I just talked to myself as if I were in a dialogue," he said.“I was basically talking to the air.”

However, talking to himself also meant that Lai wouldn’t be able to hear English expressions from others. That was when dictionaries came to his rescue. Unlike many who just look up vocabulary and pronunciations, Lai looked at detailsdefinitions, usages and example sentences. “By checking every single part of the entry(词条), you learn not only the vocabulary itself, but plenty of useful small words,” Lai said.

Reading and listening to English news is another good way to keep abreast of(了解……的最新进展) new expressions. “The English news can teach us how to describe new things in our daily lives,” Lai said.

When he found it easy enough to speak English, Lai thought of two ways to improve his skills. He used English to describe everything he saw. He even translated speeches when he went to class meetings at the military school. “There is no shortcut to mastering a language. You have to practice,” Lai said. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

【解析】

这是一篇概要写作。

写作步骤

1)细读原文。首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握文章主旨。文章说明了台湾《常青藤分析英语》杂志社长赖世雄根据自己的经历,讲述了自己如何从一个英语学习差的人,克服各种困难,成为一名成功的语言专家的故事。帮助他成功掌握英语的不是捷径,而是不断的练习和努力。

2)弄清结构,归纳段意。概要写作是写全文概要,不是写某一部分的概要,或者就某些问题写出要点。

3)列出原文要点。分析原文的内容和结构,将内容分项扼要表述并注意在结构上的顺序。在此基础上选出与文章主题密切相关的部分。

4)在写作时要特别注意下面几点:

1)概要应包括原文中的主要事实,略去不必要的细节。

2)安排好篇幅的比例,概要应同原文保持协调,即用较多的文字写重要内容,用较少的文字写次要内容。

3)注意要点之间的衔接,要用适当的关联词语贯通全文,切忌只简单地写出一些互不相干的句子,但也不要每两句之间都加关联词语,以免显得生硬

4)不排斥用原文的某些词句,但不要照搬原文的句子,如果不能完全用自己的话语表达,至少对原文句子做一些同义词替换,如果结构上也能有一些转换会更好。

5)计算词数,看是否符合规定的词数要求。

【题目】Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 -words. Use your own words as far as possible.

One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that: he only had one clime left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.

However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked“How much do I owe you?”

“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart. ” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.

Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists could be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.

Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words...

“Paid in full with a glass of milk.

(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly”

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently“Thank you, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands.”

【题目】 Throughout most states of the USA, there are countless secret swimming holes, and following are 4 of them.

Havasu Falls (Arizona)

This attractive waterfall in the Grand Canyon is undoubtedly a destination spot requiring a 10-mile walk to the falls. You can take a guided tour to the falls, or make it on your own. The Havasu Falls are on the Havasupai Indian Reservation, which means you'll need to get a permit to visit — this has become increasingly difficult as more people discover this hidden place.

Hamilton Pool (Austin)

Hamilton Pool was created when an underground river's roof fell down suddenly; exposing what is now the swimming hole and creating a 50-foot waterfall that flows over the above limestone(石灰岩). You'll have to reserve beforehand to gain entry to the Hamilton Pool Preserve.

Chutes and Ladders (Maui)

To get to this secret swimming hole, you'll have to take a rope 40 feet down the face of a cliff, and then climb down about 8 feet of lava rock to the pool. Once there, however, you'll be glad you made the journey. The swimming hole is on the edge of the ocean — a natural pool, you could say — with a depth that invites you to jump in without crowds of people around to watch.

Homestead Crater (Utah)

The Homestead Crater is hidden under a rock dome(圆顶) with an opening at the top that allows for sunlight and air. It was once only accessible by that top opening, but there is now easy access through a side path for visitors. Go for a swim in this beautiful mineral water spring.

【题目】I think people everywhere dream about having lots of money. I know I do. I would like to earn large amounts of money. You can win a large amount of money in the United States through lotteries. People pay money for tickets with numbers. If your combination of numbers is chosen, you will win a huge amount of money — often in the millions.

A few years ago, my friend Al won the lottery. It changed his life. He was not “born with a silver spoon in his mouth”. Instead, my friend was always short of money. And the money he did earn was chicken feed.

Sometimes Al even had to accept handouts (施舍物) from his friends. But do not get me wrong. My friend was always very careful with the money he spent. In fact, he was often a cheapskate. He did not like to spend money. The worst times were when he had no single penny left.

One day, Al scraped together a few dollars for a lottery ticket. He thought he would never gain lots of money unexpectedly. But his combination of numbers was chosen and he won the lottery. Al was so excited. The first thing he did was buy a costly new car — one thing that he normally would not buy. Then he started spending money on unnecessary things. It was like he had “money to burn”.

When we got together for a meal at a restaurant, Al paid every time. He would always tell me the money made him feel like a millionaire. But, Al spent too much money. Soon he was “down and out” again. He had spent his “bottom dollar” — his very last amount. He did not even save any of the money.

I admit I do feel sorry for my friend. He had enough money to “live like a king”. Instead, he was back to “living on a shoestring” — a very low budget. Some might say he was wise about small things, but not about important things.

1What does the author desire to do like others?

A. To combine the numbers perfectly.

B. To make a huge fortune.

C. To be chosen for selling lotteries.

D. To get in touch with millionaires.

2Before Al won the lottery ________.

A. he spent too much money buying chicken

B. he didn’t value the money he had earned

C. he had trouble feeding his family

D. he hated to give a hand to his friends

3What does the fourth paragraph imply?

A. Al always had good luck in life.

B. Al valued his money above his life.

C. Al had loved the expensive car probably.

D. Al pretended to have more money.

4When a person is “down and out”, ________.

A. he is as poor as a church mouse

B. he lives a life like other people

C. he has set aside all his money

D. he is looking forward to big success
