Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.
A top racehorse was brought down at Royal Ascot with a shot from a high-tech sound gun, a court was told yesterday. The gun was built into a pair of binoculars and fired from the crowd as the horse was 46 sight of certain victory. The "technically brilliant" ultra-sonic device 47 could not be heard by people-was devised by a back-street inventor. It was to be used with potentially devastating effect in a secret plan "to destroy the entire system of race-course betting and bookmaking in this country," defence lawyer Jonathan Goldberg told Southwark Crown Court in London. He said it had the potential to make a fortune in bets 48 the favourite because it made sure that the horse would lose.
It was used last year to unseat the leading jockey Greville Starkey from Ile de Chypre just before the end of the King George V Handicap, which it 49 (doubt) would have won, he said. The astonishing story was told by the defence during a trial in which the inventor of the g 50 , James Laming, denies drug conspiracy charges. It came to light because of his "alleged connections with a drug baron who wanted to use the gun to help him win large bets. The inventor is a
49-year-old grandfather and south London car dealer who lives with his mother-in-law in a terraced house. He told the court that he got all the inf 51 on uhra-sonics for the gun from the Encyclopaedia Britannica and tested it on horses in fields.
The gun was made from a pair of race binoculars. Showing them to the jury, Mr Goldberg said: "This device subjected a passing racehorse to a sudden and 52 (deaf) noise which we human beings cannot hear at all. It is the equivalent in suddenness to letting a loud firework exp 53 in its ears. "
The noise would be "a horrible ear-piercing shriek" like the feedback from a microphone. Because racehorses were sensitive and temperamental it would have the ef 54 of making the horse swerve and unseat the rider.
"It left no evidence of its use and no permanent disability for the animal," he said.
The plan was to use the gun for horse races and possibly for greyhound races. Mr Goldberg said: "He would fire
it 55 the favourite or second favourite in a race. "
"These criminals, of course, were in a unique position to ensure that the horse lost. "
Part ⅣReading Comperhension
Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.
Section A
I want to talk about the economy, not the one we hear about endlessly in the news each day and in politicians' speeches, but the one we live in day by day. It's where most of us live on a daily basis, earning our living, paying our taxes, and purchasing the necessities of life.
The term "economic expansion" suggests something desirable and benevolent, but expansion simply means spending more money.
More spending doesn't mean that life is getting better. More spending merely feeds our whole economic system, which is based on production and consumption. Unless money keeps circulating, the economy collapses. If we don't keep consuming, then manufacturers and retailers go out of business.
As a leading economist put it, consumer societies are "in need of need". We don't need the things the economy produces as much as the economy needs our sense of need for things. Need is the miracle that keeps the engines of expansion turning relentlessly. In economics, there is no concept of enough. It is a hunger that cannot be satisfied.
There is so much craziness in the world. There is an American company that manufactures a range of food with a high fat content. This causes obesity and high blood pressure. By coincidence, the same company also makes products that help people who are trying to diet. Not only that, it even produces pills for those with high blood pressure.
Nearly all of my mail consists of bills, banks trying to lend me money, catalogues trying to make me spend it, and charity appeals for the losers in this ecstasy of consumption-the homeless, the refugees, the exploited, the starving. Why is it possible to buy strawberries from Ecuador and green beans from Kenya when these countries can hardly feed their own people? It is because there are cash crops, and the countries need the money to serviee their debts. Notice that servicing a debt does not mean paying it off. It means just paying the interest. Western banks make vast profits from third world debt.
We buy clothes that are manufactured in sweat shops By virtual slaves in poor parts of the world. We create mountains of waste. We demand cheap food, mindless of the fact that it is totally devoid of taste and is produced using chemicals that
poison the land. We insist on our right to drive our own car wherever we want to go.
The evil of the consumption culture is the way it makes us oblivious to the impact of our own behavior. Our main problem is not that we don't know what to do about it. It is mustering the desire to do it.
Questions
Complete the following sentences with information given in the passage, using a maximum of four words for each sentence.
56、At the beginning of the passage, the author states that there are ______ kinds of economy and he will talk about the one related to the majority of people.
57、According to the passage, ______ serve as the foundation of the whole economic system.
58、Economists believe that the economy struggles to keep people feel like they are always ______.
59、The reason poor countries like Ecuador and Kenya export their crops is to get money to ______.
60、The aim of this passage is to make people recognize the ______ and thus be free to make their own choices in the consumption culture.
Section B
For more than a mile, the desert in southern Peru has a curious ruler-straight and tack-sharp design made by rocks. The wandering mule paths that cross it only emphasize its precision.
Throughout hundreds of square miles of arid plateau, other such. markings around, most of them concentrated between the towns of Nazca and Palpa. Known as the Nazca Lines, they form a geometric melange of quardrangles, triangles, and trapezoids. The markings also form spirals and flowers, narrow lines that extend more than five miles, and a desert zoo of giant creatures-birds, reptiles, whales, a monkey, and a spider-all made by stones whose patterns can only be seen from the air.
Because some of the figures resemble the ones that decorate Nazca pottery, archaeologists attribute the lines to the Nazcas, a coastal people whose culture rose, flourished, and declined between 100 B.C. and A. D. 700.
Making the patterns must have been extremely time-consuming. The Nazcas must have cleared millions of rocks to expose the lighter ground beneath them, piled the rocks in rows, and created designs that, in this nearly rainless region, can last thousands of years.
But why did they construct them? Nobody really knows. There have been many guesses. Some say that they were prehistoric roads, or farms. Others say they were signals or offerings to celestial beings. It has also been suggested that they constitute a giant astronomical calendar, an almanac for farmers who wished to predict the return of water to valley streams. One study did ascertain that some of the lines point to solstice positions of the sun and moon in ancient times, as well as to the rising and setting points on the horizon of some of the bright stars. But none of the theories have proven to be correct.
And so the mystery remains, including the most tantalizing question of all: why did the Nazcas create immense designs that they themselves could never see, designs that people nowadays can only see from the air?
One person who worked to find out the answer was Maria Reiche. For over forty years she photographed and charted "las lineas", striving to complete a map of the hundreds of designs and figures of this area, which is some thirty miles long and threaded by the Pan American highway.
This determined German-born mathematician slept on a camp cot behind her car on the rocky, grassless Peruvian "pampa", and even when she was elderly, got up before daylight to conduct her research.
She scorned the suggestion that the markings may have been airfields for outer-space visitors to earth during prehistoric times. "Once you remove the stones, the ground is quite soft," she said. "I'm afraid the spacemen would have gotten stuck. "
Although Maria Reiche was not able to find the answer, she crusaded to preserve the patterns so that others following her might have a chance to do so.
Questions
Answer the following questions with the information given in the passage in a maximum of fifteen words for each question.
61、Why do people name the patterns the Nazca Lines?
62、Are there any definite reasons for the construction of Nazca Lines? If not, w hat does the author offer?
63、Could those who built the Nazca Lines see the patterns? If not, how can people now see them?
64、Did Maria Reiche believe the Nazca Lines have something to do with outer-space visitors? What was her reason?
65、What's Reiche's contribution about the mystery of the Nazca Lines even though she had not solved it herself? Section C
In the past, most cities usually were the natural outgrowth of villages and towns that happened to prosper. Rome started out as a small village, as did Athens, Paris, London and New York. Of course, there were exceptions to this general rule. In ancient times, Alexandria in Egypt, and Saint Petersburg, were both planned cities. But for the most part, cities throughout history were not the products of deliberate thought.
Today the reverse is true. Many nations, alarmed by the urban sprawl that has been gobbling up farmland and open countryside, and appalled by the staggering urban problems in the central cities, have begun building new cities that are specifically designed to meet modern needs.
Britain has long been a pioneer in planning new cities. As the first nation to become industrialized and urbanized, it faced traffic, slums and pollution long before anyone else. In1898 an Englishman, Sir Ebenezer Howard, published a book called To-morrow: a Peaceful Path to Real Reform, in which he advocated a new form of urban growth and organization : the "garden city". Such a city combined the beauty of nature-trees, grass, sunshine and fresh air-with all the advantages of city living, including an abundance of jobs, social and cultural centres and good shopping facilities. The garden city was to be fairly small in size and the inhabitants would have easy access to the countryside, while at the same time they would be close to their work.
In 1899 Howard organized the Garden City Association and in 1903 and 1920 he built the first and the second garden city, Letchworth and Welwyn Garden City. These projects encountered many difficulties and failed to arouse widespread enthusiasm. Nevertheless, both Welwyn and Letchworth survived and grew, and in later years-particularly after World War Ⅱ-British planners looked at them with renewed interest.
The war had given the British a painful lesson in the weakness of modern, heavily populated cities. Cities were not the places of refuge they had once been. On the contrary, the invention of the aeroplane had made them the most vulnerable targets for attack. Aerial warfare made it clear that people were far safer outside the great urban centres. It was better not to concentrate so much of the population and industrial resources in a few large cities, but to spread them out into many smaller towns and cities. Fast, modern transportation methods made such dispersal possible. Furthermore, these new towns-modeled on Howard's garden cities-could also drain off the surplus population of the large cities, relieving the overcrowded conditions, housing shortages, slums and traffic jams that plagued them.
Questions
Mark each statement an either true(T)or falseF. according to the passage
66、In the past, most cities were not planned and they just grew up spontaneously.

Section D
Complete the summary below with information from the passage, using no more titan three words for each blank.
Sport is ubiquitous. Sky TV has at least thirteen sports channels. Throughout the world there is a proliferation of newspapers and magazines totally dedicated to sport. Sports personalities have become cultural icons, worshipped like movie-stars and sought after by sponsors and advertisers alike. Where sport was once for fun and amateurs, it is now the stuff of serious investment.
Of course, sport has always mattered. But the point is that in the past sport knew its place. Now it invades areas of life where previously it had no presence: fashion, showbiz, business. It is a worldwide obsession.
What is it that makes sport so enjoyable for so many? First, we seriously believe that sport is something we can all do, however badly or however well. Tens of thousands set off on the London and New York Marathons. Amateur football matches take place all over the world every weekend. Sport is a democratic activity.
Second, sports stars are self-made people. Sport is dominated by athletes from ordinary backgrounds. This is why it is a classic means by which those from the poorest backgrounds can seek fame and fortune.
Third, we enjoy watching sport because we like to see the supreme skill of those who act like gladiators in the modern arena. There is the excitement of not knowing who is going to win. No rock concert, no movie, no play can offer that kind of spontaneous uncertainty. This gut-wrenching experience can be shared with a crowd of fifty round a widescreen TV in a pub, or a thronging mass of 100,000 live in a stadium.
The rise of sport has been accompanied by the growing prominence of sports stars. They have become public figures, hence in great demand for TV commercials. The rise of the sports star is mirrored by the rise of sports companies such as Nike and Adidas.
"Sport probably does more to unify nations than any politician has ever been capable of". So said Nelson Mandela. The only truly global occasions are the Olympics and World Cup, watched by thousands of millions across the world. These great sporting events bring together players and athletes from different races like no other. Not only that, but sport provides just about the only example of global democracy where the rich do not dominate on the contrary, Brazilians have long been supreme at football, the Kenyans at middle-distance running, and black Americans at boxing.
However, there are signs of disquiet in this vast, global industry. The sheer volume of sport is reaching the bursting point for all but the most besotted fan. Overpaid tennis players and golfers fly endlessly in personal jets from one meaningless tournament to the next. Sport risks killing itself through greed and over-exposure. The danger is that we will all become satiated and ultimately disillusioned.
Sport is now enjoying popularity all over the world. Besides the entertaining quality, it has turned into a kind
of 71 Furthermore, the worldwide obsession to it leads to its 72 in many fields. There are three points which can shed a light on its unique charm: it being a democratic activity, athletes from ordinary backgrounds, and audience enjoying 73 that they can't get from other kinds of entertainments. More importantly, sport is playing a significant role in 74 and offering global democracy. However, this global industry will probably be confronted with
audiences' 75 due to its over-exposure.

Ever noticed how you seem to take longer to get over an illness if you take into 81
your bed for a few days instead of struggling on? The reason, according to the
leading American health magazine the Prevention, is that a whole range of bodily 82
functions begin to weak after as short a time as one day in bed. Muscle tissue 83
starts to break down, rob the booty of important minerals and leading to substantial 84
weakness in just a few days; bones start to break down and lose calciums; the body 85
is able to use food efficiently; heart and blood vessels get weak after a couple 86
of days, which can lead to rise in pulse rate and a drop in blood volume; joint 87
stiffness and constipation are also common. "Prolonged bed rest is not to be 88
taken light," says Dr Benjamin Natelson, professor of neurosciences at New 89
Jersey Medical School. And that's Why doctors these days make every effort to
getting patients up and moving as soon as possible after heart attacks and 90
operations.

W: Well yes, the main thing if you ask me is that you shouldn't have taken on that new job in London when she'd just had a baby.
M: Now I'm a divorced idiot.

W: Anyway, you just get a taxi to the golf course which is where the main road ends. Unfortunately, the taxis don't like going any further because the roads get pretty rough after that.
M: Ok, we'll walk if it's not too far.
W: Yes. Just leave your suitcases at the clubhouse-the man at reception speaks English-and we'll pick them up later. Anyway, don't worry. I'll email you a map showing you the way from there.
M: No problem. It'll be an adventure.
W: I'll finish work and leave school at about twelve, so have a rest, maybe take a little walk and get a good look at that incredible view we have of the mountain. It's fantastic at this time of the year. It'll be quite safe to walk around. I'll be back about half past twelve.
M: It sounds wonderful. We're looking forward to it. Unfortunately Dad's legs aren't what they used to be but he can still get about. How long are you going to let us stay?
W: Don't ask such questions. As long as you like of course...
录音的开始女士说“I'm teaching that morning”，由此可知她是学校的老师。后来她又说她难以请假，原因是“They're very short-staffed at the moment．”(当时他们人员不足。)。所以C项“她的学校没有足够的老师”符合题意。

W: Welcome to the Holiday Show. Today with me in the studio I have Richard Bennet, a travel consultant who's going to tell us about the holiday for those who have been everywhere. So Richard, what's the next frontier for the fearless traveller? M: We're already working on plans that will get tourists into space within the next ten years.
W: So do you think that in a few years' time we'll be having hotels on the moon?
M: Well, possibly, but the first step will probably be suborbital trips. That's staying within the earth's orbit.
W: Then how will the tourists travel?
M: It's about a hundred times as high as a jet plane usually goes and to get that high you'd need rocket planes, or capsules boosted by rockets.
W: That must be exciting. Do tourists need any kind of training on earth?
M: Yes, because there'll be tremendous G-forces during one minute or so, and then a few minutes' experience of weightlessness at zero gravity before the rocket returns to earth. They need a couple of days' training to get used to them through.
W: So can you tell us who's going to be interested in trips like this?
M: Well, we hope the general public will be interested in hearing about it, but it's hardly for those wanting rest and recreation and in fact the sort of person who will probably want to do this is quite easy to target. They're basically
risk-takers.
W: So you don't expect all that many people to go on these trips in the beginning?
M: No, we don't think many people are going to pay out such large sums of money for just a few minutes. So the next stage is likely to be keeping them up there in the orbit for three or four hours.
W: What can they do during this period?
M: They'll have the chance to see our planet from space, and also to see the darkness of space, and really spectacular sunsets and sunrises one after another.
W: So what about getting out of the earth's orbit and doing some real space tourism-holidays on Mars, for example?
M: Well, yes, there are plans, and the next step is involving a really quite sizeable number of people in moon tours.
W: So are we talking about hotels on the moon here?
M: As on a cruise, your hotel is your means of transport. So it would involve taking a shuttle up to a spaceship. And passengers could even suit up and go outside space walking if they wanted.
W: That will be marvelous!
这是一篇采访。录音中女士介绍完之后，开始对男士进行采访，问道“对于无畏的旅行者来说下一个目标是什么”，男士回答到他们已经在制定计划在未来的十年内让旅游者去太空。由此可知这个谈话是关于“太空旅行”的。
10、C
录音中男士提到“the first step will probably be suborbital trips．That's staying within the earth's orbit．”(第一步可能将是亚太空旅行，就是呆在地球的轨道内)，所以C项“地球轨道内的旅行”正确。
11、A
关于训练，男士提到因为有一分钟左右的巨大重力和火箭回到地球前几分钟的失重状态，他们需要通过几天的训练
(a couple of days' training)来适应。
12、C
关于潜在的旅游者，男士说到，大众可能会对此感兴趣，但是对于他们来说难以获得休息和娱乐。所以他们锁定的潜在旅游者主要是冒险者(They're basically risk-takers)。
13、C
录音中男士提到许多人不会为了这几分钟花费大笔的钱，所以下一步有可能是让他们在轨道内呆三到四个小时(keeping them up there in the orbit for three or four hours)，由此可知旅行的时间预计会增加，所以选C。
14、A
对话接近尾处时女士问道“So what about getting out of the earth's orbit…”，男士的回答中指出有这方面的计划，并提到“下一步是使大量的人参与到moon tours之中”。由此可见moon tours将是首批在地球轨道之外旅行的游客。
15、B
录音的最后男士提到“如果乘客愿意，他们甚至可以穿上宇航服在太空行走。”由此可知，人们可以在月球上进行太空行走。

A Greek man has been arrested on suspicion of stealing nine million personal data files in a mass breach of private information. Police said the 45-year-old was found to have taken data files containing Greek tax numbers, vehicle license
plate numbers and home addresses. Some of the files may have been duplicated. The police are now trying to work out how the data found after they raided the man's home, came to be in his possession and whether he intended to sell it.

Google had intended to release its earnings report after the close of trading, but the report was put out early by mistake. It showed that Google's earnings fell by around 20% in the thirdquarter when compared to the same period a year ago, to just over ＄2bn. Google's share price immediately began to fall until trading was halted. Analysts said that the cost related to the acquisition of Motorola and the strong dollar had contributed to the fall in earnings.
这则新闻是讲Google因为差错提前发布了它的收益报告表。其中显示Google第三个季度的收益只下降到二十亿美元多，与去年同期相比下降了20%左右，由此可知去年同期Google的收益为超过＄2bn×(1+20%)=＄2.4bn，也即是接近＄2.5bn。

A late draft of a report by the European Commission into certain measures at Europe's nuclear power plants says hundreds of problems have been uncovered which might require up to 30 billion dollars to put right. The report was commissioned in the wake of-the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan to see how Europe's nuclear power plants would fare during extreme emergencies. A leaked draft says nearly all of them need to undergo improvements. Four reactors in two unnamed countries have less than an hour to restore safety functions if electrical power is lost.

Nepal has been waiting for four years for its politicians to agree to a new constitution. But a final deadline expired at midnight on Sunday without agreement, plunging the country into crisis. With the life of the current Assembly over, Nepal has entered a political vacuum. The prime minister addressed the nation to announce fresh elections in six months' time. For many in Nepal, frustrated with this lengthy stalemate, it's depressing news. Politicians still seem as divided as ever on a central issue whether states in a new federal system should or shouldn't be formed along ethnic lines.
新闻中提到尼泊尔已经等了四年，希望它的政治家能够就新宪法达成一致意见。但是星期日午夜最后期限到了还没有达成任何协议，这使得尼泊尔陷入危机之中(But a final deadline expired at midnight on Sunday without agreement,plunging the country into crisis)。所以A项正确。

I'd like to tell you a little about myself first. I started out with nothing more than an inflated idea of my own ability and a lot of hope-but I'm now chairman of the Carocan Group, a multi-national company. So how did I get to be successful.? That's what I'm going to talk about today.
We've all got our own definition of being successful. The actual achievements may be very different but the sensation is almost the same, and it's a very sweet and profound one, accomplishing whatever we set out to do. But most people don't feel that sensation as often as they'd like to-because of fear. I'm going to talk about those fears, in particular the fear of failure and the fear of success. The fear of failure is easy to understand-and sometimes it can, paradoxically, be a motivator as well as a drawback. People make many excuses for not taking chances-not enough time, family commitments, too much work-and all these are probably based on a subconscious doubt about their ability to actually succeed. But by not trying at all, people never know how much they can or can't do. So my advice is to admit your fear and meet it head-on. Get your friends around you, and decide that whatever happens, the experience will teach you something, and you will come out of it stronger than before.
The fear of success is more difficult to deal with; once you're successful, you have further to fall. Success brings with it fear of the unknown, because after all you've never done it before and the reactions of those around you are unpredictable. These reactions may include jealousy, resentment. But I can make one suggestion to you for overcoming this fear of success-think ahead. By anticipating the effects in this way you become better able to manage the fear of success. Finally, success is only worth it if we can enjoy it. There is no such thing as luck-success happens when you take advantage of opportunities that come your way, as I did and I can look back with pleasure on all I have achieved. Thank you for your time-and good luck to you all.
(根据录音可知Carocan Group是一个“multi-national company”(跨国公司)。)
22、failure
(录音中说话者讲到大多人不能成功是因为害怕，着重讲了“the fear of failure and the fear of success”。)

24、motivator and(a)drawback
(对“害怕失败”分析时，说话者讲到“sometimes it can,paradoxically,be a motivator as well as a drawback”，由此可知它既可以是动力也可以是阻力。)
25、subconscious doubt
(录音中说话者提到人们会为没有抓住机会制造很多的借口…这些都是因为潜意识里怀疑自己能够真正成功的能力(all these are probably based on a subconscious doubt about their ability to actually succeed)。)

Task Ⅱ
97、My View on Home-fear Group
As usual, many people working outside will be eager to go home and visit friends and families whom they haven't seen for a long time and whom they have missed terribly. However, according to a survey, the surprise is that there are an increasing number of people, known as the "home-fear" group, who feel anxious about returning home.
As far as I am concerned, such fears can be attributed to economic pressure, long distance, parents' desire to see their child get married and so on. Besides, difficulty in buying tickets is another important reason causing fear. In Spring Festival, not only bus and train but also airplane can not offer enough seats to take people home. So many people have to line up in advance for a couple days. In addition, many people are anxious about having to spend a lot of money during the festival.
In my opinion, Spring Festival is the time for family reunion. Therefore, the " home-fear group" should abandon all their worries, and go home to spend Spring Festival with their family.

历年研究生入学英语考试真题及标准答案 2011年硕士研究生入学考试2011英语二真题及参考答案 Section I Use of English Directions： Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered black and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points) The Internet affords anonymity to its users, a blessing to privacy and freedom of speech. But that very anonymity is also behind the explosion of cyber-crime that has 1 across the Web. Can privacy be preserved 2 bringing safety and security to a world that seems increasingly 3 ? Last month, Howard Schmidt, the nation’s cyber-czar, offered the federal government a 4 to make the Web a safer place-a “voluntary trusted identity” system that would be the high-tech 5 of a physical key, a fingerprint and a photo ID card, all rolled 6 one. The system might use a smart identity card, or a digital credential 7 to a specific computer .and would authenticate users at a range of online services. The idea is to 8 a federation of private online identity systems. User could 9 which system to join, and only registered users whose identities have been authenticated could navigate those systems. The approach contrasts with one that would require an Internet driver’s license 10 by the government. Google and Microsoft are among companies that already have these“single sign-on”systems that make it possible for users to 11 just once but use many different services. 12 .the approach would create a “walled garden” n cyberspace, with safe “neighborhoods” and bright “streetlights” to establish a sense of a 13 community. Mr. Schmidt described it as a “voluntary ecosystem” in which “individuals and organizations can complete online transactions with 14 ,trusting the identities of each other and the identities of the infrastructure 15 which the transaction runs”. Still, the administration’s plan has 16 privacy rights activists. Some applaud the approach; others are concerned. It seems clear that such a scheme is an initiative push toward what would 17 be a compulsory Internet “drive’s license” mentality. The plan has also been greeted with 18 by some computer security experts, who worry that the “voluntary ecosystem” envisioned by Mr. Schmidt would still leave much of the Internet 19 .They argue that all Internet users should be 20 to register and identify themselves, in the same way that drivers must be licensed to drive on public roads. 1． A.swept B.skipped C.walked D.ridden 2． A.for B.within C.while D.though 3． A.careless https://www.doczj.com/doc/881255491.html,wless C.pointless D.helpless 4． A.reason B.reminder https://www.doczj.com/doc/881255491.html,promise D.proposal 5． https://www.doczj.com/doc/881255491.html,rmation B.interference C.entertainment D.equivalent 6． A.by B.into C.from D.over 7． A.linked B.directed C.chained https://www.doczj.com/doc/881255491.html,pared 8． A.dismiss B.discover C.create D.improve

2016年全国大学生英语能力竞赛攻略 学长分享英语竞赛技巧： 知己知彼百战不殆”，要想在全国大学生英语竞赛中取得好成绩，平时的积累是基础，而考前对考试的研究和分析以及练习则是升华。近几年来英语竞赛也在不断调整中。对我们来说，最重要的参考资料就是当年的竞赛样题，和官网的考试说明文件，从中我们可以了解到考试的题型、分值、时间分配、难度和新变化。只有这样我们才能对症下药，合理分配考试时间，获得最好的成绩。其实考试，一言以蔽之，就是尽量的规定时间内拿到最高的分数，分数越高，就意味着你越成功。由于每年试题结构、题型等都会有所变化，下面就以2010年的英语竞赛初赛试题为例，分析一下时间安排。今年初赛试题共分为七部分，时间120分钟，满分150分。七部分分别为听力、词汇与语法结构、完形填空、阅读理解、翻译、智力测试和写作。下面就分别进行分析。 第一部分是听力，由四部分组成，第一部分是五篇短对话，然后是两篇长对话，第三部分是五篇短新闻，第四部分是听写式填空。总分是30分，总的来说，听力的难度不算很大，应该是介于四、六级之间，大部分都可以直接从对话中找到原句和答案。但是还是有一定难度的。首先，前20道选择题都只读一遍，这和一般的考试不同，所以对选手就提出了更高的要求，必须从一开始就高度集中注意力，才能不遗漏重要信息。此外，听写式填空也是对基本知识的一个考查，经常有同学听到了却不会写，这需要我们打好自己的基础。这一部分要力争拿到20分以上。 第二部分是词汇与语法结构，这也是对“双基”知识的一个考查，可以说基本上是考查基本功的，当然我们也要注意，这其中对话类的应用题目也呈逐年上升的趋势。总分15分，官方建议完成时间是十分钟。这一部分要力争拿到10分以上。 第三部分是完形填空，也是我认为全卷除了智力测试以外最难的题目，题型包括根据上下文填空、根据给出的首字母填空、根据给出的单词的适当形式填空。分值是十分，官方建议完成时间是10分钟。这题不仅考查你的基本词汇语法知识，也考查你对文章的理解和把握。可以说是阅读+词汇的结合。要拿高分很难，但是其实还是有一些分好拿的，这一部分我们要力争拿到4分以上。 第四部分是阅读理解，总分40分，官方建议完成时间是25分钟。这是全卷分值最大的一道大题，也是时间最紧的。我估计绝大多数同学在25分钟内都没办法全部完成（我也很勉强）。这一部分我觉得最重要的还是把握文章的开头和结尾，了解主旨，然后根据题目去快速定位，因为这里的题目大部分都是在原文可以找到答案的。这一部分阅读量大、题型多样（包括选择题、问答题、是/否/未提及题，摘抄题、填空题等）、也是对同学英语应用能力的有力考查，还是要熟能生巧，在平时多加练习，力争达到又对又快的境界，这一部分要力争拿到25分以上。 第五部分是翻译，包括英译汉和汉译英两部分。共20分，官方建议完成时间是15分钟。这一部分可以说是全卷最简单的题型，考查的内容都没超过四级甚至是平常练习的难度，对英译汉，还是要花点时间看看文章开头和结尾，“磨刀不误砍柴工”，很多翻译都要根据上下文进行，才能更加的到位。有时在翻译中遇到生词，也可以根据上下文进行推断。比如今年的汉译英试题中多次提到“dropout”这个单词，我考试时也忘了这是什么意思，最后还是通过文章最后
