教主雅思阅读真经

材料主要是剑789

阅读分为四种题型

1、单词题(最简单:summary,流程图,填空,填句)

2、句子题T/F和选择(中等难度:判断题和选择题)

3、段落题Heading题(最难的,归纳中心思想)

4、匹配题Matching题(有诀窍,并不难)

前两种直拳,第3种还我漂亮拳,第4种面目全非掌

无标题的文章很可能出标题题:末段+大意(把题干读一遍)

!!雅思文章首段不是最重要段落,末段和第二段才是最重要的!!!

防盗版内容:

Before群里去背单词

During 助教讲部分内容

After 模考

如何提升阅读速度

1扩大视距:把单词变为意群,不要默读

2跳读和变速:重点读认识的单词,读得懂的读慢,读不懂的读快

题干3类词汇

如果任意打开一篇题干13道题不认识的有3个及以上,阅读词汇需补充

三大类:主题词不认识没关系

模板词如account /reference/ mention在阅读题干中就是“描述”之义,毫无意义,不需要去特别记(拿任何一本剑桥,把题干中所有不认识的词记下来)考点词如resemble考点词真经很重要,要背

3类关键词

问题:

三大类:眼球级

朴素级普通动词、名词、形容词

逻辑关系词并列(重大考点)、转折、因果

总纲标注法:(做真题时做这个工作)

画出题干和原文所有对应之处(同义替换)要用此法做真题练习精细理解力

句子题

段落题

匹配题

为什么不要精读?而要快速阅读和对比阅读

首先就要背考点词,才能敏感地找到同义替换

按总纲标注法做文章

填空题

考察的不是空格而是空格前后的同义替换

如果找不到替换,关键词的本行和上下行,找不认识的词。(词汇量低合适)

如果几个词都对,选最具体的

Sth. Is valued greatly

所以先做细节题,再做heading题(细节题包括summary填空题、T/F题、选择题)

两种题后做:matching和heading

千万不要为了一道题,去再次看全文

多选题

Factors contributing to /contributing factors

多选一定原文是并列,肯定在某一段落里,不可能在全文并列

T/F/NG题

一般一套题有12个这样的题

T题:70%有三组以上的同义替换。分三种,一种是考一句话;一种考上下文多句总结;另一种是,不相邻句子总结(单选是T题,所以首先要搞定单选:标准模式是五组同义替换。如果题干具体不用看ABCD很抽象就看)

NG题:很多原词是干扰作用的

A和B,要么A找不到,要么B找不到,要么A和B之间的关系不存在

To meet this challenge 为了迎接这种挑战

F题:改写成反义词,或者关系驳斥中的因果关系驳斥(即张冠李戴)

原文A不错,选项Only A不错;选正确

原文ABC都不错,选项Only A不错;选错误

翻译成中文后,问自己是否如此,在每句话加“是否”

一般来说,两篇T/F题有各6个

第一个NG一般是关系型(两个在同一段出现,但没有关系)第三题

第二个NG一般是具体型(找不到A或者B其中一个)第六题

(注意找到A也找到B,也找到了关系,但和题干不一样,那就是F)

连着做T/F/NG十几道题,最好的材料就是真经5

Heading题

标题题:段中找两点对应,90%是对的,三点对应,百分百对

还我漂亮拳—中心思想题(heading)

优先细节题:细节题或者T/F题一定选考官觉得重要的点出题,所以这可以一定程度反映整段中心思想

面目全非掌—乱序匹配题(which contain/matching)

同样优先细节题

直拳—既没有中心也没有匹配,所有题都按顺序出题

但是不管怎么出,都先出第一题

所有的文章只有三篇

Heading

matching

考细节的

练习时,不是剑桥一套题做,打散,直拳5篇连着做,再连接做5篇Heading,最后做contain题

Matching题

最难的是关系型匹配:人名和理论的匹配:认真阅读题干(2遍),

另外是句子匹配:有前半句,选项是后半句。忽略选项,只看题干,回原文,再看合意的选项

做完真经5以后,其实真题做9篇阅读(三套)就够了

一种题型之间顺序可以乱,但两篇题型之间先后顺序不会换

王乐夫《公共管理学》配套题库【课后习题】第1章~第3章 【圣才出品】

第二部分课后习题 第1章导论 一、名词解释 1.公共管理学 答:公共管理学是公共行政的一个分支学科,是指研究以政府行政组织为核心的各种公共组织管理公共事务的活动及其规律的学问。公共管理学是公共行政中重视公共组织或非营利组织实施公共管理的技术与方法、重视公共项目与绩效的管理、重视公共政策执行的理论派别。公共管理在实施公共管理的主体、公共管理活动的内容与范围、公共管理的目标等一些基本的原则和管理理念方面,仍然与公共行政保持一致。在某种程度和范围内,公共管理与公共行政可以互相替代,但公共管理并不能替代公共行政的全部。 2.公共行政 答:公共行政是指国家行政组织或公共行政组织在宪法和有关法律的规定范围内对国家和社会公共事务所进行的管理活动。这个定义包括“谁在管理”、“如何管理”、“管理什么”三个方面。 ①国家行政组织或公共行政组织是行政管理的主体,由于各国国家政治体制和行政体制各不相同,行政管理的主体也不相同; ②行政管理的主体并不是国家的最高权力机关,而是与立法、司法部门相对而言的行政执行部门或最高国家权力机关的执行机关; ③管理国家和社会公共事务突出了“公共”的特性,涉及到公共权力的运用、公共利益、

公共政策、公共服务等问题。 3.公共政策 答:公共政策是指拥有合法权威的,包括立法机关、行政机关、司法机关在内的政府,以及由其授权的有关机构或部门为了解决公共资源或者社会公共利益的分配等社会问题所作出的正式的决定或安排,这种决定或安排是确立一定社会生活的行为准则和行为依据。通常可以表现为法律、政令、计划、方案、程序等形式。 4.政治—行政二分 答:政治—行政二分由威尔逊最早提出,他认为执行宪法比制定宪法更要困难。为了使政府不走弯路,应把政府划分为两个领域,即“政治”与“行政”,认为就政府应当做什么而言,政治领域就是由大多数选举出来的代表来决定各种选择;行政领域就是政府贯彻执行经过合法程序所通过的各种规定,这种执行过程不是政治干预。 ①行政学科应当建立在单一的组织原型的基础上,能普遍运用于一切政治制度; ②任何良好的行政科学必须使其从政治学领域中分离出来; ③行政科学的指导价值是效率; ④有效的公共行政要求政府权力有单一的领导中心; ⑤建立独立的公共行政学的目的就是“使政府不走弯路,使政府专心处理公务和少作政治干预,加强和纯洁政府的组织机构,为政府的尽职尽责带来美誉”。 5.B途径 答:B途径是公共管理学研究途径之一。B途径重视的不再是内部行政管理的机制与过

Other parapsychologists believe that the field is on the brink of collapse, having tried to produce definitive scientific proof and failed. Sceptics and advocates alike do concur on one issue, however, that the most impressive evidence so far has come from the so-called ‘ganzfeld’ e xperiments, a German term that means ‘whole field’. 2.2 The Little Ice Age was far from a deep freeze, however; rather an irregular seesaw of rapid climatic shifts, few lasting more than a quarter-century, driven by complex and still little understood interactions between the atmosphere and the ocean. 2.3 While it is true that the olfactory powers of humans are nothing like as fine as those possessed by certain animals, they are still remarkably acute. 3.3 It follows from the above that sparing use of energy reserves should tend to extend life. 3.1 Discussion now centres on whether the route through the maze is communicated as a 'left-right' sequence of turns or as a 'compass bearing and distance' message. 3.3 Forests are one of the main elements of our natural heritage. The decline of Europe's forests over the last decade and a half has led to an increasing awareness and understanding of the serious imbalances which threaten them. 4.2 The MSC has established a set of criteria by which commercial fisheries can be judged. 4.3 It was found that children from the noisy schools had higher blood pressure and were more easily distracted than those who attended the quiet schools. Moreover, there was no evidence of adaptability to the noise. In fact, the longer the children had attended the noisy schools, the more distractible they became. 剑6 1.2 Theoretically, in the world of trade, shipping costs do not matter.

王乐夫版公共管理学

《公共管理学》王乐夫版本 第一章:导论 1、公共管理的概念:公共管理是公共行政的一个分支学派。公共管理是公共行政中重视公共组织或非营利组织实施公共管理的技术与方法,重视公共项目与绩效的管理,重视公共政策执行的理论派别和分支学科。 2、公共管理与公共行政的区别和联系 差别: 联系:第一:公共管理作为一种独立的范式还没有出现,公共管理是公共行政的一个分支学派; 第二:公共管理是公共行政中重视公共组织或非营利组织实施公共管理的技术与方法,重视公共项目与绩效的管理,重视公共政策执行的理论派别; 第三:公共管理在实施管理的主体、管理活动的内容和范围、管理的目标等一些基本的原则和管理理念方面,仍然与公共行政保持一致。 3、公共物品的概念和特征 含义:公共物品是指用于满足社会公共消费需要的物品、劳务或服务,是具有消费的非竞争性和非排他性、自然垄断性以及收费困难等特征的物品。 特征:消费的非竞争性和非排他性、自然垄断性、收费困难、规模效益大、初始投资量大。 4、公共管理与工商企业管理的区别 第一,管理性质的不同,公共管理是国家、政府以及其他公共组织的职能、活动范围,与公共利益相关,具有广泛的社会公众参与,以行使公共权力为基础,是一个公共领域。工商企业管理是工商企业或者个人对从原材料购买、加工生产到销售等活动所进行的管理,是工商企业自己的事,主要遵循市场价值规律,是企业内部的事务领域。 第二,两者的使命不同,公共管理以服务公众、实现公共利益和维护公共秩

序为目的,以效率、民主、公平为价值;工商企业管理以营利为目的,注重效率合理利润。 第三、责任的性质和范围不同,与工商管理相比,公共管理更强调公共责任、社会责任。 第四、管理的广泛性、复杂性的晨读不同,公共管理的对象范围更为广泛、复杂,绩效评估更加困难。 5、善治的标准:90年代后,世界银行提出了“善治”口号,合法、法治、负责、透明、有效的政府构成了善治的基本要素,成为规范政治权力的主要标准。 6、公共管理学的产生?(背景、标志) 背景:第一、执行研究将问题的焦点由组织转移到公共项目及其产生的结果上。执行研究把项目放到了核心地位并要求研究组织如何对项目作出贡献。 第二、执行研究超出了公共行政学以及政治学的范围,而达到了更广泛、更综合的跨学科的程度。 正是这种由组织结构与过程向项目与绩效的焦点转移的趋势以及不同学科者的共同努力,促成了公共管理学的兴起。 产生标志:1991年,美国召开了第一次全国公共管理学术研讨会,被看作是公共管理学作为一个新的分支学科产生的标志。 7、公共管理学的研究途径(选择题) 美波齐曼公共政策途径企业管理途径 戴维。H。罗森布鲁姆管理途径政治途径法律途径 第二章:公共管理的理论发展 1、公共行政理论的演进(选择题)(主要掌握人物、著作、及代表性的观点)

高级英语 Face to face with Hurricane Camille中英笔记

Face To Face With Hurricane Camille 迎战卡米尔号飓风 约瑟夫.布兰克 1John Koshak,Jr., knew Hurricane Camille would be bad. Radio and television warnings had sounded throughout that Sunday. Last August 17, as Camille lashed northwestward across the Gulf of Mexico. It was certain to pummel Gulfport, Miss., where the Koshaks lived. Along the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, nearly 150,000 people fled inland to safer ground. But like thousands of others in the coastal communities, John was reluctant to abandon his home unless the family—his wife, Janis and their seven children, aged 3 to 11—was clearly endangered. 小约翰。柯夏克已料到,卡米尔号飓风来势定然凶猛。就在去年8月17日那个星期天,当卡米尔号飓风越过墨西哥湾向西北进袭之时,收音机和电视里整天不断地播放着飓风警报。柯夏克一家居住的地方一—密西西比州的高尔夫港——肯定会遭到这场飓风的猛烈袭击。路易斯安那、密西西比和亚拉巴马三州沿海一带的居民已有将近15万人逃往内陆安全地带。但约翰就像沿海村落中其他成千上万的人一样,不愿舍弃家园,要他下决心弃家外逃,除非等到他的一家人一—妻子詹妮丝以及他们那七个年龄从三岁到十一岁的孩子一一眼看着就要灾祸临头。lash (v.): move quickly or violently猛烈冲击;拍打 pummel (n.): beat or hit with repeated blows,esp.with the fist(尤指用拳头)连续地打 2 Trying to reason out the best course of action, he talked with his father and mother, who had moved into the ten-room house with the Koshaks a month earlier from California. He also consulted Charles Hill, a longtime friend, who had driven from Las Vegas for a visit. 为了找出应付这场风灾的最佳对策,他与父母商量过。两位老人是早在一个月前就从加利福尼亚迁到这里来,住进柯夏克一家所住的那幢十个房间的屋子里。他还就此征求过从拉斯韦加斯开车来访的老朋友查理希尔的意见。 course (n.): a way of behaving;mode 0f conduct行为;品行;做法 reason out: to find out an explanation or solution to a problem,by thinking of all the possibilities寻找解决途径 例:Let's reason this out instead of quarrelling.让我们不要争吵,商量出事情的解决方案 3 John, 37—whose business was right there in his home (he designed and developed educational toys and supplies, and all of Magna Products’ correspondence, engineering drawings and art work were there on the first floor)—was familiar with the power of a hurricane. Four years earlier Hurricane Betsy had demolished his former home a few miles west of Gulfport (Koshak had moved his family to a motel for the night). But that house had stood only a few feet above sea level. “We’re elevated23 feet,” he told his father, “and we’re a good 250 yards from the sea. The place has been here since 1915, and no hurricane has ever bothered it. We’ll probably be as safe here as anyplace else.”

1 Rock music began in America in the late 1950's ? It was not only a new musical form , but a forum for the American youth to express their ideas of the world and life . In this foiiini, the stars sang out the attitudes of the youth towards civil rights , war and peace ,the disaffection of their society , and a range of emotions between love and hate ? Allin all, in this forum , the American youth redefined the beliefs and feelings of their society ? The typical representatives of the early rock music were Elvis Presley , singer and poet Bob Dylan , the Bealtles , the rolling Stones and so on ? They were the culture heroes whom the young people worshipped ? 2 The American young people in 1960,s were a generation of rebellion ?

Volatility Kills You should spend about 20 minutes on Question 1-13 which are based on Reading Passage below. A Despite gun battles in the capital of Chad, rioting in Kenya and galloping inflation in Zimbabwe, the economics of sub-Saharan Africa arc, as a whole, in better shape than they were a few years ago. The World Bank has reported recently that this part of the continent experienced a respectable growth rate of 5.6 percent in 2006 and a higher rate from 1995 to 2005 than in previous decades. The bank has given a cautious assessment that the region may have reached a turning point. An overriding question for developmental economists remains whether the upswing will continue so Africans can grow their way out of a poverty that relegates some 40 percent of the nearly 744 million in that region to living on less than a dollar a day. The optimism, when inspected more closely, may be short-lived because of the persistence of a devastating pattern of economic volatility that has lingered for decades. B “In reality, African countries grow as fast as Asian countries and other developing countries during the good times, but afterward they see growth collapses,” comments Jorge Arbache, a senior World Bank economist. “How to prevent collapses may be as important as promoting growth.” If these collapses had not occurred, he observes, the level of gross domestic product for each citizen of the 48 nations of sub-Saharan Africa would have been a third higher. C The prerequisite to prevent the next crash are not in place, according to a World Bank study issued in January. Is Africa's Recent Growth Robust? The growth period that began in 1995, driven by a commodities boom spurred in particular by demand from China, may not be sustainable, because the economic fundamentals—new investment and the ability to stave off inflation, among other factors—are absent. The region lacks the necessary infrastructure that would encourage investors to look to Africa to find the next Bengaluru (Bangalore) or Shenzhen, a November report from the bank concludes. For sub-Saharan countries rich in oil and other resources, a boom period may even undermine efforts to institute sound economic practices. From 1996 to 2005, with growth accelerating, measures of governance—factors such as political stability, rule of law, and control of corruption—actually worsened, especially for countries endowed with abundant mineral resources, the January report notes. D Perhaps the most incisive analysis of the volatility question comes from Paul Collier, a longtime specialist in African economics at the University of Oxford and author of the recent book The Bottom Billion. He advocates a range of options that the U.S. and other nations could adopt when formulating policy toward African countries. They include revamped trade measures, better-apportioned aid and sustained military intervention in certain instances, to avert what he sees as a rapidly accelerating divergence of the world’s poorest, primarily in Africa, from the rest
