新概念二背诵500遍后的感受

许多大师在学习语言时都选择了背诵这一手段。背诵需要人耐得住乏味、也需要有足够的耐心和毅力，这个方法虽然简单、却要你付出大把时间。那么背诵究竟能不能对英语学习起到作用？下面就跟大家分享一篇网上的文章，它应该已经震撼和激励了不少人，希望对你也有所启示。

据专家说当背诵的熟练程度达到不经思索脱口而出时就产生了所谓的舌尖效应。背诵一篇新概念2的文章大概需要15-20遍左右（本人需要20遍），新3的文章长度和难度都有所增加，可能需要重复更多的次数。当你能背下来一篇文章时，你会觉得虽然不用看书，能背下来但并不是很熟练，背一句脑子总在想着下一句是什么。这样的背诵不能起到学好英语的目的。有些人能背下新2新3但总觉得收效甚微，就是因为他没达到脱口而出的地步。有些人反对用背诵法来学英语因为这没有什么效果。其实背诵法有没有效果，要看你是否达到了脱口而出的境地。这时产生了舌尖效应，汉语思维将不再阻碍英语语感和英语思维，你会有一种豁然贯通的感觉。

为了证实舌尖效应，本人亲自做了试验。首先用网上流传的循环背诵大表制定了背诵新概念2的计划。然后把音频文件拷入到mp3播放器中反复听，反复模仿跟读，每篇文章都要模仿得惟妙惟肖，然后背诵。当背完整本新概念2时，我又在此基础上将每篇文章背诵了将近500遍左右，终于能在78分钟之内背完所有文章。每一篇文章都

达到了脱口而出的地步，产生了舌尖效应，96篇文章背下来并没经过大脑思考，完全是嘴巴和舌头在起作用，你会有一种和英语融为一体的感觉。连读、吞音、爆破、语调、节奏等这些所谓的发音难点都自然而然的被攻破了。随便拿一篇英文来读，你会有一种洋腔洋调读英文的感觉。听写VOA慢速英语时感到前所未有的轻松，只需听一两遍就能听懂，生词几乎影响不了我对新闻的理解。此时听写VOA不再是以听懂新闻为目的了，而是以积累词汇为目的了。因为你听写过的生词，查过字典印象非常深刻。我试听了VOA标准英语和CNN，语速都能接受，并不觉得快，并且能听懂一小部分。

虽然只有一小部分但我却有成功的喜悦。我尝到了背诵法的成功。我总共用了112天。达到了舌尖效应，听力、口语有了大幅度上升。而在此之前，我根本听不懂VOA，口语也只会说几句日常用语，112天让我有一种脱胎换骨的感觉。我终于明白了为何许多英语专家和大师们都推崇背诵法学英语，这确实是比较快的方法。

传统的学习法：单词＋语法＋阅读＋做题对考试有些用处，但我用此法学了近10年英语却一无所成。要提高英语水平首先要打通两关：耳朵和嘴巴。最好的方法就是听说结合。不要忘了“听”这个字左边是一个“口”。听和说是不分家的。要提高听力必然要说，要随心所欲说也必须要不断听。记住听的时候要一句一句模仿，播音员怎么说你怎么说，要练的尽可能和播音员相近。不要理会所说的句子是什么含义，更不要去翻译，你所做的就是鹦鹉学舌。要以句子为单位，不要以段落为单位。当听力水平提高了才可以段落为单位模仿、复述。

你觉得老外语速快是因为你的嘴巴不能以这样快的速度来说，能看得懂文章却听不懂，是因为你不能像老外那样正确地读这篇文章。你读的文章和老外对比会发现，你读得不对，没有掌握发音技巧，尤其是连读、爆破音、省音、节奏等。如果你读得和老外一样正确，你可不可能听不懂呢？记住：你能正确说出来，让老外读给你听，你也能听懂。你能以多快速度来说英语，你的耳朵就能接受多快的语速。听力还有一个难点就是你对常用单词和短语的反应速度。用我说的方法边听、边模仿再背诵就可以突破这个难点。我之所以能听懂VOA慢速英语，是因为500遍的模仿背诵，使我对新2的掌握程度达到了“化”的地步。新2中都是常用的单词、短语和句型，而VOA慢速英语常用词汇、短语和句型，大多数都包含在新2中了，因此听懂就容易了。原先做listen to this的题觉得挺难，现在觉得并不难了。

最后介绍两种方法，来克服厌学、浮躁的心态。有不少人不能坚持到底学英语，最后只能放弃，主要是心态浮躁、急于求成，学习效果不明显。要克服也不难。我是这样做的：我在网上下载了一些有关成功人士学习英语的励志文章，他们的故事令我感动。每当我学累了，坚持不下去了，就会读一读这些文章。读完之后，敬佩之感油然而生，一股巨大的动力激励我继续学下去。还有一种方法就是互相激励。找一些志同道合的朋友一起学，学不下去时互相鼓励。也可在网上找一些爱好英语的朋友，大家互相鼓励，互相帮助学好英语。自我激励也是一种方法，但效果不如上述两种。112天的坚持就是用了上边的方法。最后祝愿大家人人都能成为英语的主人。

新概念英语第二册中值得背诵的课文

对于新概念英语2册的学习,是否把全书背下来效果最好。针对该问题,其实很难一句话把问题说清楚,但有二点是很明确的。其一、背诵完新概念英语第2册决非一件简单的事情,要不全国那么多讲解新概念英语2册的老师怎么都背不下来呢? 其二、背诵完新2全书或许只能说是该教材学习的入门级别,而门里面的一系列外语学习方法,如宏观语篇思维逻辑,心理语言学角度阅读方法,作者教材编撰的用意,宏观语法的驾驭能力,微观语法的应用能力,拼写能力,朗诵能力,写作能力等等,学习者对这些内容是否也应该有所了解呢？换句话说,学习或背诵一本教材的最小价值为学通了该教材,而如果要把学习效果最大化,那就应该掌握学习该教材的方法,从而具备怎样学习所有同等难度教材的能力。退一步来讲,如果某位学习者真的能非常流畅地诵读或背诵2册全书,其效果应该是非常显著的。考虑到人的精力有限,精选新概念英语2册中所有最具背诵价值的课文供朋友们参考。新概念英语第2册最具有背诵价值的课文是(共挑选41篇）: 第一单元: lesson 7, lesson 8, lesson 10, lesson 13, lesson 14, lesson 16, lesson 20, lesson 21; 第二单元: lesson 25, lesson 28, lesson 29, lesson 32, lesson 36, lesson 37, lesson 38, lesson39, lesson 40, lesson 43, lesson 45, lesson 47, lesson 48; 第三单元: lesson 49, lesson 51,lesson 52, lesson 54, lesson 55, lesson 56, lesson 58, lesson 61,lesson 64,lesson 65, lesson 69, lesson 71; 第四单元: lesson 73, lesson 78, lesson 80, lesson 83, lesson 85, lesson 89, lesson 93, lesson 96. （派乐多英语提供！）

新概念英语第二册课文(背诵版)

Lesson 1 A private conversation 私人谈话 Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. ‘I can't hear a word!’I said angrily. ‘It's none of your business, ’the young man said rudely. ‘This is a private conversation!’ Lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch? 早餐还是午餐？ It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. ‘What a day!’I thought. ‘It's raining again. ’Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. ‘I've just arrived by train, ’she said. ‘I'm coming to see you. ’‘But I'm still having breakfast, ’I said. ‘What are you doing?’she asked. ‘I'm having breakfast, ’I repeated. ‘Dear me, ’she said. ‘Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!’ Lesson 3 Please send me a card 寄张明信片 Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. I visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. Then he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but I did not understand a word. Every day I thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly, but I did not send cards to my friends. On the last day I made a big decision. I got up early and bought thirty-seven cards. I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card! Lesson 4 An exciting trip 激动人心的旅行 I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim. He is in Australia. He has been there for six months. Tim is an engineer. He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in Australia. He has just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice Springs, a small town in the centre of Australia. He will soon visit Darwin From there, he will fly to Perth. My brother has never been abroad before, so he is finding this trip very exciting. Lesson 5 No wrong numbers 无错号之虞 Mr. James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst. Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, but Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve pigeons. Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinburst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance the first three minutes. Up to now, Mr. Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. In this way, he has begun his own private‘telephone’service. Lesson 6 Percy Buttons 珀西·巴顿斯 I have just moved to a house in Bridge Street. Yesterday a beggar knocked at my door. He asked me for a meal and a glass of beer. In return for this, the beggar stood on his head and sang songs. I gave him a meal. He ate the food and drank the beer. Then he put a piece of cheese in his pocket and went away. Later a neighbour told me about him. Everybody knows him. His name is Percy Buttons. He calls at every house in the street once a month and always asks for a meal and a glass of beer. Lesson 7 Too late 为时太晚

新概念英语背诵方法

每个人都会根据自己的学习特点采取不同的学习方式，下面给大家推荐几种不同的背诵方法。方法（一）（1）明确目的，集中精力背诵一篇课文或者一段必须掌握的语句，最忌东张西望，漫不经心，注意力分散。如果是一篇很简单的文字，背了几天后仍老出错，这肯定是用心不专的缘故。至于出现“前记后忘”的现象，则是正常的，这时千万不要向这种暂时困难屈服而打退堂鼓。（2）确定任务，寻找窍门背诵一篇短文，仅仅读几遍是行不通的，一定要熟读到滚瓜烂熟的程度才行。开始时可短一些，容易一些，然后作一定幅度的调整。此外，背诵时还要讲究一定的技巧，熟读课文内容，理解课文大意，不仅不会记错和混淆，而且记住的数量也会越来越多。（3）坚持复背，及时检查

复习背诵的时间用得越多，记住的效果就越佳。例如，早晨背诵过的课文或知识，晚上睡前以及第二天起床后，应进行一次复背，并在每周六或周日再作适当的温习背诵，以后过一个月再复背一次。这样，可保证很长一段时期不会遗忘。（4）加强默写，强化训练所谓“眼过千遍，不如手抄一遍”。采取默写手段，可有效地巩固已经背诵了的课文和知识，而且对加深记忆大有好处。因为文字本身就是一种图形和符号，经常默写可帮助我们促进右脑的开发。如果能切实做到循序渐进，长期进行默写训练，那么一定会有助于背诵的质量和效果。方法（二）（1）反复阅读与再现相结合单纯地反复阅读效果并不好，学习者应该在文章还没有完全记住前积极进行尝试再现，回忆不起来时再阅读。这样容易记住，而且保持时间也长。特别生

疏的语句，注意多尝试再现几次。因为尝试再现是一种比阅读更积极的智力活动，又是一种自我检查的过程，使人更能集中精力，掌握识记内容的重点、难点，并及时改正记忆中的错误。（2）试背背诵过程中，如果出现“卡壳”，应该进行追忆。追忆是有意和间接再现的形式，它需要付出很大的意志力，克服一定的困难，多方面寻找线索，进行积极灵活的思维。因此，不能一“卡壳”，就立即停止背诵。（3）熟背文章通过理解消化，已纳入自己的知识系统，语句通过熟读试背，也已朗朗上口，如果再反复朗读几遍，就能流利地背诵下来。检查方式，除了个人和集体背诵外，还有对背，即两人面对面同时背诵，因为有对方干扰，可锻炼学生记忆的深刻性和正确性；提背，即打哪提，从哪背，提到哪，背到哪，可锻炼学生记忆的准确性。

“新概念二”背诵方法大集合 2009-11-23 15:47:17 作者：陈明军来源：北京新东方学校综合能力部在中国的英语学习者心目中，《新概念英语》可谓是一部“葵花宝典”级的英语教材，历经半个多世纪而经久不衰，它可以帮助学习者在比较短的时间内全方位地提高自身的听说读写译等方面的能力。新概念英语不是任何考试的应试教材，但是现在很多公立学校已经把它作为重要的补充教材了，今年暑期班的一个高二的学生跟我说，他们期中考试的默写内容就是新概念英语二的第27课，期末考试的是第31课。在网上有个英语系的学生说，学好新概念英语一到四册绝对能应付国内外的各种考试，虽然说得可能有点夸张，但不是没有道理的。有一次，我的一个学位生跟我讲了他的一次面试经历。当面试官问他，“Why do you choose selling? Do you love money?” 时，他脱口而出，“I'm not really interested in selling or making money. I am only interested in communic ation.” 虽然这个回答并不完美，但是他跟我说这件事时非常的得意，平日所学终于派上用场了，因为他所说的那句话其实就是新二里面第20课最后一句话的简单改写。还有一次，有位同学给我发邮件提到她非常成功的一次面试经历。面试官要求她用英语简单说说北京这一两年有什么重大变化，她想到的最大变化就是为迎接奥运会，鸟巢、水立方、8号线地铁以及奥林匹克国家森林公园的修建，于是她马上想到了新二里面第 37课里的内容，The government built an immense stadium, Bird's Nest, a new Olympic-standard swimming pool, Water Cube, new roads and a special railway line, Line 8.

新概念背诵文章

0305 Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began: 'Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace.' The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall. The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press. He sent the journalist two more faxes, but received no reply. He sent yet another fax informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired. When the journalist again failed to reply, the editor reluctantly published the article as it had originally been written. A week later, the editor at last received a fax from the journalist. Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well. However, he had at last been allowed to send a fax in which he informed the editor that he had been arrested while counting the 1o84 steps leading to the 15 foot wall which surrounded the president's palace. 0413 Oxford has been ruined by the motor industry. The peace which Oxford once knew, and which a great university city should always have, has been swept ruthlessly away; and no benefactions and research endowments can make up for the change in character which the city has suffered. At six in the morning the old courts shake to the roar of buses taking the next shift to Cowley and Pressed Steel, great lorries with a double deck cargo of cars for export lumber past Magdalen and the University Church. Loads of motor-engines are hurried hither and thither and the streets are thronged with a population which has no interest in learning and knows no studies beyond servo-systems and distributors, compression ratios and camshafts. Theoretically the marriage of an old seat of learning and tradition with a new and wealthy industry might be expected to produce some interesting children. It might have been thought that the culture of the university would radiate out and transform the lives of the workers. That this has not happened may be the fault of the university, for at both Oxford and Cambridge the colleges tend to live in an era which is certainly not of the twentieth century, and upon a planet which bears little resemblance to the war-torn Earth. Wherever the fault may lie the fact remains that it is the theatre at Oxford and not at Cambridge which is on the verge of extinction, and the only fruit of the combination of industry and the rarefied atmosphere of learning is the dust in the streets, and a pathetic sense of being lost which hangs over some of the colleges. 0406 I am always amazed when I hear people saying that sport creates goodwill between the nations, and that if only the common peoples of the world could meet one another at football or cricket, they would have no inclination to meet on the battlefield. Even if one didn't know from concrete examples (the 1936Olympic Games, for instance) that international sporting contests lead
