Country diary:a chainsaw massacre in the alder woods

On an overcast,drizzly afternoon at Durham Wildlife Trust's Low Barns nature

A tree had been felled and sawn into (3) ..Chainsaw wounds on this species can look like a massacre,because soon after the timber is cut,it turns a lurid shade of red,almost like blood,in stark contrast to the battleship-grey bark.(4) those wounds,which briefly (5) raw meat,fade to orange and finally to chestnut brown.

When this reserve was established half a century ago,around old gravel pits(采沙场），some moisture-loving alders were planted to help (6) a bare,windswept site.Alder wood is one of the finest sources of charcoal,and the plantation trees are old enough now to be coppiced,to produce barbecue fuel.

There is also an important natural alder wood here,created by a cataclysm almost two and a half centuries ago,which led to the designation of the reserve as a site of special scientific interest.

Sadly,since the mid-199os,another (12) has befallen this locally (13) woodland:alder dieback disease has killed around half the mature trees.Coppicing is leading to some regeneration,though in this precious (14) dead timber is allowed to lay where it falls,reserved for the needs of a (15) community of fungi,invertebrates and woodpeckers,rather than back-garden burger-flippers on summer evenings.

高中英语专项突破和能力巩固 完形填空 句间逻辑推理能力

高中新课程完形填空的技能考查 技能考查简介 普通高中课程改革英语学科教学指导意见指出：高中英课程的总目标之一是培养学生的综合语言运用能力；语言技能和语言知识是综合语言运用能力的基础。并因此而着重提高学生用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力，特别注重提高学生用英语进行思维和表达的能力；形成跨文化交际的意识和基本的跨文化交际能力。 高中英语考试说明的命题要求明确指出：“完形填空考查学生的阅读理解能力和词汇的综合运用能力，所选语言材料要有利于考生进行语篇分析，要保证本大题有较好的区分度。” 因此，高考完形填空题这种题型的设置是检验课程实施效果的方法之一。该题型要求高中生必须具备快速阅读理解一篇抽去相当数量词汇文章的内容领悟能力和分析推断能力，综合运用所学语法知识、词汇辨析能力，常识和逻辑推理能力，和具有一定的跨文化交际意识和能力。具体考查技能如下： 逻辑推理能力：完形填空对篇章逻辑推理能力的考查主要表现在考生能否根据句中，句间甚至是整篇文章的逻辑关系，比如因果、转折、并列等关系，选出正确选项。主要包括以下几个方面： （一）句中逻辑推理能力 （二）句间逻辑推理能力 （三）篇章逻辑推理能力 （四）篇章原词重现 （一）句中逻辑推理能力 句间逻辑推理能力：根据文中前后句子间的逻辑关系，判断推理出正确选项。 e.g. Lisa was one of the mobile children, 39 from house to house in childhood. She longs for a sense of 40 , and so we have come to Nova Scotia where my husband and I were born and where our ancestors 41 for 200 years. 39. A. passed B. raised C. moved D. sent 40. A. home B. duty C. reality D. relief 41. A. built B. lived C. remained D. explored 【解析】考查句间的逻辑推理能力。前句的关键词the mobile children, 和from house to house，体现了原因：Lisa 从小居无定所，得出结论：渴望有家的感觉，根据这两者间的因果关系，得出正确答案为A。 一、小试牛刀： 1、As soon as I sat down, my 41 made the chair begin to roll. Its wheels were not 42 . 41. A. height B. force C. skill D. weight 42. A. locked B. repaired C. powered D. grasped 2、He looks around at 22 . He stops when he 23 someone with no gloves. 22. A. cars B. people C. street numbers D. traffic lights 23. A. helps B. chooses C. greets D. sees 3、He looks like any other businessman, wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase (公文箱). But he's 19 . His briefcase always has some gloves。 19. A. calm B. different C. crazy D. curious

自考英语二怎么学

自考英语二怎么学 自考英语二怎么学 1 英语(二)词汇记忆方法 英语二词汇要求达到3800词，词组750.有的同学问是不是就只要背下册书的词汇就行了，回答是不够的，肯定是不够的，因为词汇没有说只考下册，上册也要背。但是有人说我短期内怎么记住这些大量的词汇呢?大家词汇学习第一个应该是有一定的时间，因为有的同学说一个星期或者两个星期教给你方法能够记住几千，他这个方法有点儿像变魔术，不太现实，我觉得词汇是一个积累。因为从心理学角度来讲学词汇有两个方向，一个方向是要把词汇学习的时候印象深刻，一个词能够像串葡萄似的串出一串来，比如同义词、反义词、近义词，应该把有关联的词相互记忆。第二，词汇一定得重复，从心理学角度学词必须这样。 2 英语(二)学习重点 英语是一种语言，任何语言都是由词和句子构成的，所以光会了词，不会把这些词组成句子是不行的，因此怎么组成句子呢?得知道组成句子的规则，还有一些习惯用法，你必须要了解这种语言的文化，所以说学英语光学词是不行的，因此是除了学词以外还得学词的用法以及文化，习惯用法就是一种文化，死背根本记不住。为什么记不住?背的这个词应该是灵活的，怎么灵活呢?这个词首先要知道词性是什么，做个句子，学了一个词不会做句子造一个短语，还要大声的念，李阳疯狂英语为什么风靡全国，就是要把词大声地念出来，这样从耳朵里能够听进去的，对大脑的刺激比眼睛里看见的要强得多，所以学习词汇的一个技巧要大声念，要组一个词或者组一个短语，这样记忆比光看两遍、写几遍要好得多。

3 英语(二)考前冲刺方法 最好的方法应该是做冲刺的题目，所谓冲刺的题目就是要做一些题目跟考试的真题一样的，每一部分都是给自己做测试，做模拟题，比如要设定时间是2个半小时，考试是2个半小时，你就要用2个 半小时做模拟卷然后做考试题，因为考试的真题都有答案，最后对 一下答案看得多少分。 4 英语(二)考试如何安排考场时间 考试时间安排，总有最后的翻译题来不及做的这种情况，所以我跟大家讲主观性题目，我刚才说了有30%，一定要留出足够的时间，至少三分之一的时间来做。有一部分比较难的，就像完形填空，那 个只有10分，但是有大部分同学在那儿花的时间太多了，完形填空 一段文章是比较难的，把10个空填进去，如果耗费了很多时间不值得。因为完形填空一般的同学语法知识比较差的话，做不好这道题。但是像第一个题目词汇结构题，如果有一定的语法知识这道题应该 是可以拿到分的。再有阅读理解题，也是30分，有的同学最后来不 及把文章仔细看，就随便乱选了很容易选错，所以把三分之一的时 间一定要留给阅读理解，还有三分之一的时间留给主观性题目就是 翻译题。 注意事项 备考英语(二)最大的资本就是课本，考生最少要留一个月时间，把课文从头到尾复习一遍，力求吃透课本知识。 重复学习法当感到知识已经掌握得的差不多的时候，再重复学一次。这一次也许会获得更深的印象和更多的体会。 换位思考法在自学中，不要老是把你自己当成是“学生”，处于被动地位，而要不断的把自己摆放到“先生”的位置上，采取主动，产生不同的想法来。

高中英语完型填空题材突破与训练

完形填空题材突破与训练 一、记叙文 （一）命题探究 完形填空考查考生在阅读理解的基础上对词汇知识的掌握情况。要求考生通读全文，掌 握文章大意，运用词汇、语法等知识，选择最佳答案，使文章意思畅通，结构完整。记叙型 完形填空是高考和备考的重点。研读记叙型完形填空，可看出以下趋势： 1、首句完整，线索清楚。 一般作者在第一句就交代了人物的姓名、身份、业绩或事件发生的时间、地点，然后再 介绍时间的发生、发展，最后得出结果。 2、叙述灵活，侧重语境。 文章以叙述为主，人物间对话较少，绝大部分篇章是作者在描述事件，较少加入作者的 观点或评论。因此，常会出现态度与观点的跳跃变换，或语气的差异。这增加了情景的迷惑 性和干扰性，从而突出了对语境的依赖，实现了在理解上下文的基础上，通过语境，辨析词 语，作出选择。 3、实词为主，虚词为辅。 高考记叙型完形填空，篇章不长，一般在200-260个词左右，始终紧扣话题中心，形成一 个主题连续体。选项一般为同一词类或同一范畴。重点集中于动词、名词、形容词或副词等 实词上，介词、连词、冠词等虚词的考查相对较少。实词为主，虚词为辅，更能体现在语境 中考查英语运用能力这一思路。 （二）技巧点拨 1、重视首句，开篇明义。 从历年的试题可以看出，完形填空首句一般不设题。这为我们理解文章的内在联系提供 了一个“窗口”，它的句意往往为全文提供中心信息。所以应充分重视首句的指示作用，利用 它为解题找到一个突破口，据此拓展思维，争取开局胜利。 2、利用语境，猜摩心态。 高考完形填空题逐渐屏弃语法分析，朝着深层化和语境化的方面挖掘，因此考生只有借 助上下文乃至全文语境启示或限定，猜摩作者的心情，以及他对各个角色、各个事件的态度。 在答题过程中，除了对关联用语的把握外，还要把握语气、动作等描写。 3、理清线索，把握方向。 4、记叙文一般按事件发展顺序叙述，有时用倒叙。答题时，通过理清人物间的关系，把 握人物各自所做的事情，从而把握细节，找准作者的记叙方向，正确理解文章。 （三）巩固练习 1、05全国卷 One afternoon I was sitting at my favorite table in a restaurant , waiting for the food I had ordered to arrive . Suddenly 1 that a man sitting at a table near the window kept glancing in my direction , 2 he knew me .

(15 points) The rat has many enemies and its greatest enemy is man. Nevertheless, it is the survivor. Although man has 26 an unending war against them, rats have 27 the world.

突破完形的技巧

突破完形的技巧 Brief Introduction 完形填空考查综合运用语言的能力。考察的内容主要为词语辨析、词语搭配、语篇理解、逻辑推理和英语文化背景知识等。要求考生根据上下文线索，对每道题的备选项做出合理的分析、判断，从中选出最佳答案，使补全后的文章文意畅达、逻辑严密、结构完整。 一、完形填空的命题特点（目的：走出题海，有的放矢） 1）短文多选材于英美国家近期报刊杂志上原汁原味的文章，语言地道，文章具有知识性、教育性，而且更多的是夹叙夹议的文章。文章长度一般在250—300 词之间，结构严谨，层次分明，逻辑性强。2）首句一般不设空，以便为考生提供一个特定理解的语境。 3）所给选项一般为一个单词，而且每小题四个选项为同一词类或同一范畴，与空格前后词语都能搭配，有很大的干扰性和迷惑性。 4）备选答案的词性以实词为主，虚词为辅。这符合高考完形要求，从整体上理解文章内容，全面接受信息，避免考生在语言结构上下功夫，进行语法选择。 5）以考查对文章的整体理解和词汇意义为主，以考查惯用搭配和语法为辅。 6）要求考生树立选择最佳（不是正确）答案的观念。 二、题型设置特点（目的：明确考查，应对自如） 1）整体理解型：这类题目乍一看，好象四个答案都是正确的，但是文章上下文的重要信息已经提供，所以考生要正确掌握文章的整体语
