引言
大学英语四级考试是我国在校大学生参加考试人数最多的考试之一，由于这项考试成绩对于大学生就业有重要的作用，各类高校都将提高学生的四级考试成绩摆在重要的位置，大多数学生也把通过四级考试作为大学英语学习的一个主要目标。是，多学生的四级考试成绩并不理想。管他们在英但很尽语学习上耗费了大量的时间，但学习的总体效果并不令人满意。语学习费时费力、率低下的问题突出。以，们在大英效所我学英语教学中应该考虑如何帮助学生提高四级考试的成绩。本文研究了在大学英语教学的过程中如何提高学生的英语阅读理解能力，以此带动其他各种语言技能的提高。而并从提高四级考试的分数。四级考试中，在阅读理解占了总分值的３％。５阅读理解能力的提高对于总分的提高有直接的作用。此外，过阅读训练，生的听、、、等其他英语技能也能通学说写译晓。不少艺术设计专业学生在考入大学之前都没有画过几何体、石膏像，更不用说人文素养的培养了，至连莫里哀和伏尔泰都甚分不清，因此本应在课堂中讲授的设计方法、计思路等只能被设部分压缩。由此可见．河北省等省份早年美术联考中图案科目像的删除，值得商榷的，似只是一门考试科目的增加与删除，是看但其对大学入学后设计类专业教育的影响不可低估。三、高艺术设计专业人才录取质量的措施探讨提

够得到相应的改善，因此其他各项分值都会有所提高目前在大学英语阅读教学中还存在许多问题教师阅读教学的重点大多是课文的讲解、汇介绍和语法分析，少有词很计划、目的地向学生传授学习策略。于没有受过系统的训有由练，多学生在阅读过程中没有明确的策略意识。其结果是，很学生英语阅读速度缓慢，重影响考试的答题速度和准确率严从历年来参加过四级考试的学生情况来看，他们的考试总分通常与阅读理解能力成正比。总分高者阅读能力强；反，相总分低的学生大都觉得阅读
理解部分题量太大，试时间太紧，考无法在规定的时间内完成．．二、究阅读学习策略的意义研“习策略”是指人们在学习过程中使用的技巧和方法。学在外语学习中，习策略是指摸索词汇、法规则和其他语言学语项目的含义和用法的方法。国内外学者对于学习策略的研究开始于２世ｆ９年代。与传统的以教师的教学为中心的语言０￣０，教学研究不同，究学习策略是以学生为研究的中心通过调研查研究学生原有的学习策略，析存在的问题，针对性地给分有予指导．教给学生一些有效的学习策略，提高他们的学习能力，他们能够自主地学习。从外语学习的角度来看，以将使可学习策略进一步分解为词汇策略、阅读策略、话策略和写作会策略等。是我国艺术本专科录取中人数最多的专业．在考生必须参加的美术联考中应该适当增加有关设计的基本技能测试．如加入一些图案、专题设计等内容。其次，于当前美术联考已然变成了类似于八股文的套鉴路化考试的现实．美术联考的考核题材和题型应有所变化。创造性不仅是艺术设计专业和相关企事业对学生的基本能力要求．且是当前所有美术类专业在培养学生方面的共同要求，而因此，术联考题型和题材的适度变化对于选拔创新性的艺美术设计人才具有重要现实意义。最后，美术联考应分为常规式联考和破格式考试两种。常规式主要针对高中阶段学生，破格式考试主要针对社会上有很强艺术设计或绘画等天赋和潜质的人才。为他们创造接受大学系统教育的机会，同时也可以加快与世界高等艺术教育接轨步伐和拓宽高校人才的选拔渠道。３增加考生和家长对艺术设计专业的认识。．艺术设计专业报考火热，但专业素养较低的根本原因在于学生和家长对报考基本条件缺乏了解，致使很多考生即使考入了专业．于功底较差也只能在大学混日子，以学有所由难成。因此，中学校应在学生学习和报考期间介绍美术类相关高专业．艺术设计专业的基本要求和基础知识等．时通过不如同定期的家长日活动加强与学生家长的沟通．增加学生和家长对艺术设计等美术专业的认识，免盲目从众，避真正为学生选择一个能够发挥其最大潜能的专业。同时高校还应选择合适的时间，有计划地组织相关美术考生和家长到学校旁听相关课程．并安排与艺术设计等专业教师交流和互动．加学生对专业的深人了解，有助于学生增这结合自身条件确定更为合适的报考专业。

艺术设计专业相对一般美术专业来讲对学生的人文素养、新能力等有更高的要求．正公平、优录取需要高校创公择和高中共同来努力。首先，中要把好“口”在众多报考艺术设计专业的考高出。生中绝大多数高中之前没有任何专业基础，不是为了学艺术而上大学．而恰恰是为了上大学才开始学艺术，学艺术作为把高考的捷径。因此，中阶段学校和老师应通过教育，学生高让充分认识到学艺术的真正价值．正其学习态度。端在学校组织的美术联考辅导过程中不仅要面向联考科目有针对性地辅导，且要讲授一些基本理论和技法，其是同时通过专题形而尤式传授更多
素质拓展性知识，希腊、马绘画、计艺术的如罗设分类及特点等。其次，校要把好“口”每个高校艺术设计专业都有自高人。己特有的培养目的和定位，应根据自身情况在专业和文化两个维度上确定最合适的尺度．专业型、化型、等型、文在文均偏化型和偏专业型等类型中明确自己的录取标准，能模仿、不跟风同时还应加强报考之前的资格审查。国外大学非常重视审查申请学校时所提交的材料，艺术设计专业也可以参考国外经验要求报考考生提交自己作品、以往获奖证书、荐信等资推料以此作为是否录取到艺术设计专业的重要依据。

目前．学生中能够有意识地运用阅读策略者较少。在教大学过程中我们注意到，些学生在阅读过程中遇到生词时，一总是翻阅书后的词汇表或查阅辞典，很少想到通过其他方法推测词义。到难懂的句子时．生往往不善于利用各种线索帮遇学助理解。许多学生只会采用一种阅读方法：字逐句地读，逐甚至还用手指着读．结果是阅读速度缓慢，法在规定的时间其无内完成一定量的阅读任务。所有这些不正确的学习方法都严重影响了学生阅读的速度和效率，不利于他们在四级考试中取得高分。三、教学中进行阅读策略训练在不久前颁布的《国家中长期教育改革和发展规划纲要》提出要“力提高学生的学习能力”“着、帮助学生学会学习”教育。部颁发的《学英语课程教学要求》把培养学生英语综合应大也用能力作为教学目标，并把学习策略列为主要的教学内容之强调“校在教学中应安排一定的学习策略和跨文化交际各的内容”在强调英语听说能力的同时，提出要“强其自主。还增学习能力，高综合文化素养”由此可见，大学英语教学中提。在应该研究学生的学习策略，给学生正确的学习方法．高学教提生的学习效率。对学生的阅读策略训练应长期进行。们在日常教学中，我一
要让他们学会根据具体情况选择适当的阅读方法。此同时，与还要注意纠正学生不正确的阅读习惯，例如有声阅读、用手（笔）或指着逐字逐句地读等。
４阅读应试策略谢Ｉ．练
为了提高学生的英语四级考试成绩，在强调语言学习策略训练的同时，要向学生传授一定的应试技巧。于新题型还对的四级考试而言，于题量较大，间紧张，试策略尤为重由时应要。四级的
“速阅读”例：部分要求考生在１分钟的时以快为该５间内读完一篇１０词左右的文章．完成文章后面的１道题。２０并Ｏ从最近几年考试情况来看，由于文章的篇幅较长、目灵活，题考生感到无从下手，往往是文章还没有看完时间就到了。为此．我们要让学生知道快速阅读是测试考生在短时间内获取篇章主旨和特定信息的能力。所以．做快速阅读时，生不在学能采用常规的逐字逐句阅读的方法．需要有一定的阅读策略和解题技巧。例如对于有些文章。以先从题千人手。出关可划键词，到文章中找到相应的关键词，可找到题目的答案。再即关键词可以选择提示新信息的词、专有名词、写字母组成的大缩写词、字等。当采用这种方法做题时，数往往没有必要逐字逐句地读完全文，间自然也节省了很多。时

１生词的处理．
中国学生在学习英语时普遍感到词汇量太大。学生在阅渎过程中不可避免地会遇到许多生词，采用不同的方式处理这些生词会导致完全不同的结果。如果频繁地查词典．极大会地降低阅读速度，少有效的信息输入量。此外，减由于考试时不允许学生查词典，时如果过于依赖词典，不利于学生考平将试时的发挥。于阅读中遇到的生词．们要求学生不要急于对我查词典，指导他们根据各种线索分析词义，括构词法、并包上下文的逻辑关系、章的主题、关的常识、景知识等。文相背实践证明，样做学生不仅能够提高阅读速度、好地理解文章．这更而且有利于扩大词汇量、高英语综合水平。和查辞典相比，提推测得到的词义更加便于记忆。
２句子分析．
大学英语教学实践证明，在教学过程中对学生进行阅读策略训练，即找出他们阅读学习中存在的问题，系统地、针有对性地向他们介绍各种阅读策略，断地加以训练，不能够有效地改善学生的阅读能力，动其他英语技能的提高．而提高带从他们英语四级考试的成绩。必须指出，目前为止，内外学者已经总结出了很多种到国英语阅读的策略。不同的策略适合于不同的学习者和学习目的。由于课堂教学的时间十分有限．们在教学中不宜花过多我的时间讲授学习策略。因此，师应根据学生的具体情况，教精心分析、究各种已有的学习策略．选出若干种最适合他们研筛的策略加以训练。学习策略仅仅是学生学习内容的一小部分。在对学生进
行阅读策略训练的同时，还要要求学生不断提高英语综合素养、大知识面，扩提倡学生课外大量阅读英语文学原著和英美报刊杂志。经常、断的阅读可以巩固和扩大学生的词汇不量，进他们对英语国家文化习俗的了解，长语言知识和促增其他各方面的知

英语中经常出现语法结构复杂的句子、句、以理解的长难句子等。迅速、准确地理解这些句子对于阅读理解至关重要。分析句子时，们要先从语法结构人手。语句子结构和汉语我英有很多不同之处，堂上分析句子时。强调英语中特有的句课要子结构，如复合、略、装等。注意英语和汉语句子的不例省倒同，以便于学生理解。有些句子需要借助于文章其它部分的线索才能确定其意义，有时需要知道文章的主题或借助于有关的背景知识等进行理解，以学生在阅读时要有整体观念，所在具体的语境中理解句子。

大学英语四级模拟题四 Part One Reading Comprehension (2’×10 = 20’) Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow”from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory（呼吸的）diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility （能见度）. There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt（易于的）to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers. Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes（腐蚀）our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control. 1. Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because . A. it may cause pilots to be ill B. engines may fail from the air-borne dirt C. visibility is reduced D. it brings a lot of black snow 2. Scientists are trying to find a link between pollution and . A. intelligence levels B. birth problems C. man’s behavior D. the nervous system 3. Scientists have not yet determined . A. all of the effects of pollution on the human body B. how pollution can be controlled successfully C. when the atmosphere first became polluted D. how some snow becomes black 4. The author suggests that before air pollution becomes more serious, . A. factories will be forced to stop operating B. buildings should be protected C. the earth will begin to grow colder D. more money should be spent to solve the problem 5. We can conclude that . A. civilization may be ruined if pollution is not controlled B. pollution is more serious in Europe than it is in America C. most people do not know that pollution is a serious problem D. we should learn all the answers before we begin to control pollution Passage Two Stiletto heels could be banned from the workplace because of health and safety reasons, according to British Trade Union bosses. The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes”with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.” Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,”she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using obvious sexist tactics by discussing women’s

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite

The numbers associated with identity theft are beginning to add up fast these days. A recent General Accounting Office report estimates that as many as 750.000 Americans are victims of identity theft every year. And thai number may be low, as many people choose not to report the crime even if they know they have been victimized. Identity theft is "an absolute epidemic," states Robert Ellis Smith, a respected author and
大学英语四级阅读理解（1）We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(把......按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning. In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyse and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every
大学英语四级阅读40篇(1) 2/40 The economy of the United states after 1952 was the econnomy of a well-fed,almost fully employed people. Despit occasional alarms, the country escaped any postwar depression and lived in a state of boom. A n economic survey of the year 1955, a typical year of the 1950’s, may be typical as illustrating the rapid economic growth of the decade. The national output was value at 10 percent above that of 1954 (1955 output was estimated at 392 billion dollars). The production of manufacturers was about 40 percent more than it had averaged in the years immediately following World War 2. The country’s business spent about 30billion dollars for new factories and machinery. National income available for spending was almost a third greater than it had been it had been in 1950. Consumers spent about 256 billion dollars; that is about 700 million dollars a day ,or about twenty-five million dollars every hour , all round the clock. Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than two million wanted jobs but could not find them . Only agriculture
大学英语四级考试模拟试卷及参考答案(第 一套） Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is foll owed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fou r choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and ma rk the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method o f answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships betwee n observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to o rganize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniq ues, and procedures for implementing the finding of science. Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progr ess in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comp rehend the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy an d certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or disli kes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover m ay shock or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unple asant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of re fusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology; we do not have the choice
2016 年 12 月大学英语四级考试真题（第一套） Part I Writing (30 minutes)( 请于正式开考后半小时内完成该部分，之后将进行听 力考试 ) Directions:For this part,you are allowed30 minutes to write an essay.Suppose you have two options upon graduation:one is to take a job in a company and the other to go to a graduate school.You are to make a choice between the two.Write an essay to explain the reasons for your choice. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. Much controversy has been aroused about whether the students should find a job or start their own business after graduation.Taking a look around,we can find that some graduates bustle around job markets,while others choose to run a shop on TMall. However, I prefer the former choice. From my perspective, there are good reasons to find a job in the first several years after their graduation.First and foremost, if a graduate intends to accumulate working experience and learn from the seniors, it is advisable for him to find a job. It is an undeniable fact that the theoretical knowledge will provide the graduates with the ability to consider things comprehensively,however,only under the integration with practice can the rigid knowledge be useful for their future development. Inevitably, doing something small is the premise of undertaking something great. Take Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba and taobao, for example. He also finds some jobs before establishing his own career,laying a solid foundation for his later success. Consequently,it is of great necessity to find a job after graduation.I firmly believe that it will continue to bring about more returns to our life and future.
