Critical Reading

①(1)Critical reading applies to non-fiction writing in which the author puts forth a position or seeks to make a statement. Critical reading is active reading. It involves more than just(不只是,不仅仅是)understanding what an author is saying. Critical reading involves questioning and evaluating what the author is saying, and forming your own opinions about what the author is saying. Here are the things you should do to be a critical reader.(启下句)

本部分重点及难点:

1. Critical reading applies to non-fiction writing in which the author puts forth a position or seeks to make a statement. apply to sb./sth.= be applicable to sb./sth.

apply的派生词:application, applicant, applicable

②Consider the context of what is written. You may be reading something that was written by an author from a different cultural context than yours. (2)Or, you may be reading something written some time ago in a different time context than yours. (3)In either case, you must recognize and take into account any differences between your values and attitudes and those represented by the author. 本部分重点及难点:

2. Or, you may be reading something written some time ago in a different time context than yours. some time

注意区分:sometime / sometimes / some times

3. In either case, you must recognize and take into account any differences between your values and attitudes and those represented by the author. 不论哪种情况,你必须注意并考虑你的价值观和态度与作者所述的价值观和态度有何不同。

those是代词,代替前面的复数名词values and attitudes。代替可数名词单数或不可数名词用that。例如:The students in your class are more hard-working than those in his class. The values of the young people differ from those of their elders. Your voice is more beautiful that that of your classmates. The price of that book is higher than that of this one. 请认真答题,答题结果将记入知识点测评的成绩!

【单选题】1. The necklace her sister is wearing is much more beautiful than ______ worn by Mary. A.this B.that C.these D.those 【答案】B

【解析】本题考查指代词those/that的用法。英语句子中为了避免重复常使用代词代替前面出现过的名词。代替前面的复数名词用those;代替可数名词单数或不可数名词用that。本句中空格处要填的词代替代替单数可数名词necklace,故选A。此处that也可以换成the one。【知识点】指代词those/that的用法

③Question assertions made by the author. Don't accept what is written at face value. Before accepting what is written, be certain that the author provides sufficient support for any assertions made. Look for facts, examples, and statistics that provide support.(承上句)Also, look to see if the author has integrated the work of authorities.

④Compare what is written with other written work on the subject. (4)Look to see that what is written is consistent with what others have written about the subject. If there are inconsistencies, carefully evaluate the support the author provides for the inconsistencies. (承上句)本部分重点及难点:

4. Look to see that what is written is consistent with what others have written about the subject. be consistent with 与……一致

consist vi. 组成(of);在于(in);符合(with)

The United Kingdom consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The beauty of the plan consists in its simplicity.

This doesn't consist with what you told me earlier. 这和你先前告诉我的不符合。

consist的派生词:consistent, inconsistent, consistency, inconsistency 请认真答题,答题结果将记入知识点测

评的成绩!

【单选题】2. To tell you the truth, I really hope that your actions will consist ______ your words this time. A.of B.in C.at D.With

【答案】D

【解析】本题考查consist的用法。consist of意为"由……组成";consist in意为"在于";consist with意为"与……一致",故选D。consist at不存在。该句的意思是"说实话,我真希望这次你的言行能一致"。【知识点】consist的用法

⑤Analyze assumptions made by the author. (5)Assumptions are whatever the author must believe is true in order to make assertions. In many cases, the author's assumptions are not directly stated. This means you must read carefully in order to identify any assumptions.(承上启下句)Once you identify an assumption, you must decide whether or not the assumption is valid.

⑥Evaluate the sources the author uses. In doing this, be certain that the sources are credible. For example, Einstein is a credible source if the author is writing about landmark achievements in physics. Also be certain that the sources are relevant. Einstein is not a relevant source when the subject is poetry.(承上句)Finally if the author is writing about a subject in its current state, be sure that the sources are current(启下句). For example, studies done by Einstein in the early 20th century may not be appropriate if the writer is discussing the current state of knowledge in physics.

⑦Identify any possible author bias. (6)A written discussion of American politics will likely look considerably different depending on whether the writer is a Democrat or a Republican. (7)What is written may very well reflect a biased position. You need to take this possible bias into account when reading what the author has written with "a grain of salt."

⑧By being a critical reader, you will become better informed and may change your views as appropriate. 本部分重点及难点:

5. Assumptions are whatever the author must believe is true in order to make assertions.

whatever引导的是表语从句,不能换成no matter what。名词性从句(主语,宾语,表语,同位语从句)中,"疑问词ever"不能换成"no matter+疑问词",状语从句中可以换用。例如:

Whoever comes to our party is welcome. (不能换成no matter who…)He will lend a helping hand to whoever needs his help. (不能换) He will buy whatever his son wants. (不能换)

Whatever you do, I will support you. (能换成no matter what…)

6.A written discussion of American politics will likely look considerably different depending on whether the writer is a Democrat or a Republican. likely 在该句中是副词likely adj. / adv.

be likely to do sth.

It's likely that…

a likely result

Profit will most likely have risen by about ?2 million. 利润极可能增加200万英镑左右。(副词)

likely的派生词:unlikely, likelihood。

例如:The likelihood of infection is minimal. 感染的可能性极小。

7. What is written may very well reflect a biased position. a biased position

be biased to/toward(s)/against 反义词:unbiased

动词名词形容词副词

define action powerful internally

express tears personal shape

shape good

respond to

Language is one of the things that sets us apart as beings, one of the things that essentially 1 definesus as humans. When language is used well it can elicit very deep feeling in others, motivate others to 2 actionand define the nature of our relationships. Sometimes in poetry the juxtaposition(并列)of two words or a certain phrase can bring 3 tearsto the eyes, call up a whole host of imagery and move us deeply. We have seen language recently used in the politics of persuasion, used for 4 goodor ill - depending on your viewpoint. When we use language to 5 expressour true feelings to someone it can open and deepen the connection between us. Language is a very 6 powerfultool. How we use language shapes our world both 7 internallyand externally. How you use self-talk - what you say to yourself about yourself and about the world directly 8 shapes(塑造,使成形)your experience of both yourself and the world. How you deliver communication shapes the way the world 9 responds toyou. We can use language more effectively in both spheres: internal and external and directly influence the health and power of our 10 personalrelationships and our business relationships.

II. Text Learning

The Language of Confidence

1 The language we use programs our brains. Mastering our language gives us a great degree of mastery over our lives and our destinies. It is important to use the language in the best way possible in order to dramatically improve our quality of life.

2 Even the smallest of words can have the deepest effect on our

subconscious mind, which is like a child, and it doesn't really understand the difference between what really happens and what you imagine. (1)It is eager to please and willing to carry out any commands that you give it - whether you do this knowingly or not is entirely up to you. "Try"

3 It is a small word yet it has an amazing impact upon us. If someone says, "I'll try to do that" you know that they are not going to be putting their whole heart into it, and may not even do it at all. (2)How often do you use the word try when talking about the things that matter to you? Do you say "I'll try to be more confident" or "I'll try to do that" or "I'll try to call"?

4 Think about something that you would like to achieve, and say it to yourself in two different ways. Firstly say, "I'll try to …" and notice how you feel. Next say, "I will do …" and see how you feel.

5 (3)The latter makes you feel better than the first one, doesn't it? It gives you a sense of determination, a feeling that it will be done. Listen to the people around you and when they say they will try notice if it gets done or not. Eliminate the word try from your dictionary and see how your life improves.(承上句)

本部分重点及难点:

1.It is eager to please and willing to carry out any commands that you give it - whether you do this knowingly or not is entirely up to you. 它渴望取悦,乐意听从你给它的任何命令,而你是有意还是无意地做这些完全取决于你。

(1)carry out commands 执行命令

(2) be up to sb. 取决于某人

例如:It's up to you whether we go there or not.

2. How often do you use the word try when talking about the things that matter to you?

matter v. be important

例如:As long as staff are smart, it does not matter how long their hair is. 员工只要聪明,头发留多长没什么关系。

It matters a lot whether you come to my birthday party or not.

3. The latter makes you feel better than the first one, doesn't it? the former…the latter…"Can't"

6 This is another small word with a big impact. It disempowers us, makes us feel weak and helpless, and damages our self-esteem. (4)It limits our infinite abilities and stifles creativity. Rub it out from your internal dictionary and

replace it with something that makes you feel great.

本部分重点及难点:

4. It limits our infinite abilities and stifles creativity.

(1) infinite的词根是finite,其它相关词:finitely, infinitely, finiteness/finity, infiniteness/infinity。

(2) creativity的词根是create。注意区分两个名词:creation / creativity。请认真答题,答题结果将记入知识点测评的成绩!

【单选题】3. 选择括号内所给单词的正确形式填空:A small word like "can't" limits our ______ (finite) abilities and discourages _______(create). A.finite, creating B.finite, creation C.infinite, creativity D.infinite, creation 【答案】C

【解析】本题考查finite及create的派生词。第一个空格要填的词作abilities的定语,故选择形容词;第二个空格要填的词作discourage的宾语,根据句义"can't这样的小词限制了我们无限的能力并压制了我们的创造性",故选C。【知识点】finite及create的派生词

7 Instead of saying you can't, why not say something like "I choose(愿意)…" or "I choose not to …". Using words like this allows you to take back your power and to be in control of your life.

8 Words may appear small and insignificant, yet they can have a deep and lasting effect on us. (5)Mastering your language gives you the power to live whatever life you desire.

9 What words do you use a lot that disempower you? Make a list of words you commonly use and then write next to them some alternatives you can use. (承上句)(6)Make these alternatives words that make you feel fabulous, not only about yourself, but about life and what you are doing!(承上句)

本部分重点及难点:

5. Mastering your language gives you the power to live whatever life you desire.

give …the power相当于empower,该句等于Mastering your language empowers you to live whatever life you desire.

6.Make these alternatives words that make you feel fabulous, not only about yourself, but about life and what you are doing! 让这些替代词不仅使你对自己感觉良好,而且使你对生活、对你所做的事情感觉无限美好吧!

(1) make在这里接名词作宾补,即make sb. / sth. sth.,再如:We made him our monitor.

(2) make you feel fabulous,make接do sth.作宾补。

(3) not only…but (also)…

Unit 2 Mistakes to Success

2. respond v. 作出反应;响应respond to…response

3. interview v. (媒体)采访,访问

4. creative adj. 创作的

完型 鉴于电子货币的优势,你也许会认为,我们将快速步入无现金社会,实现完全电子支付。然而,真正的无现金社会很可能不会马上到来。事实上,这样的预测已经出现二十年了,但迄今还没有实现。例如,1975年《商业周刊》预测电子支付手段不久将“彻底改变货币本身的定义”,并将在数年后颠覆货币本身。为何人们进入无现金社会的速度如此缓慢呢? 尽管电子支付手段可能比纸币支付方式更加高效,然而以下几个方面解释了纸币系统“不会”消失的原因。第一,使电子货币成为最主要的支付方式必须的设备包括电脑、读卡器和电信网络,而安装这些设备价格昂贵。第二,纸质支票有提供收据这一优势,这是消费者不愿放弃的。第三,使用纸质支票可以让开票人多几天让钱“悬浮”在帐户里,对方得花上几天才能凭支票取现,这也就是意味着开票方又多赚了几天利息钱。而由于电子支票是即时的,因此也就没有这种优势。第四,电子支付方式还有可能存在安全和隐私隐患。 我们曾多次听到媒体报道说某个非法黑客入侵了用户的数据库并且篡改了里面的信息。这种情况时有发生,这也意味着别有用心之人可能侵入电子支付系统,盗取别人的银行帐号而盗款成功。要防止这类诈骗并非易事,正在研发新的电脑科学领域来处理该类安全问题。此外,人们对于电子支付方式的担忧在于进行电子交易之后所留下的包含个人信息的痕迹。人们担心政府部门,雇员和市场营销人员会看到这些数据,侵犯个人隐私。 Text1 在一篇名为(entitled)《成功(make it)在美国》的文章中,作者亚当·戴维森讲述(relate)了这样一个源自棉花出产国的笑话,笑话是关于现代纺织(textile)作坊(mill)已高度自动化(automate):现如今,一家普通作坊里只有两名员工,“一个人和一条狗,人在作坊里是为了喂狗,狗在作坊里是为了使人远离(away from)机器。”Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reaso n we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution,which a re more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign workers.最近出现了很多(a number of)类似戴维森所写的文章,它们都表明了这样一种看法(make a point):之所以失业人数(unemployment)居高难下(stubbornly high)和中产阶级(middle-class)收入(income)持续下降,原因是全球化与信息技术革命已经取得了诸多进步,它们使得机器和国外员工在取代(replace..with)本国劳动力(labor)方面比以往任何时候都要迅速。 以往,具有一般技术、从事一般工作的员工可以赚得(earn)普通的生活。但现如今,普通人才正式地过时了(officially)。继续普通无法再让你过上以前的生活,其原因是当下更多的雇主可以用(have access to)比普通还要低廉的价格,来雇佣国外员工,购买机器人(robotics)和软件(software),实现自动化(automation),获得天才(genus)。因此,每个人都需要挖掘身上额外的东西-来让他们做出独特的、有价值的贡献,这种贡献会让他们脱颖而出(stand out),不管他们身处什么工作领域(field of employment)。 确实,新科技在过去、现在和将来都在“吞噬”工作岗位,但这种“吞噬”速度已经提高了。正如戴维森所指出(note):“(美国)工厂裁员(shed workers)速度是如此之快,以至于从1999到2009十年间裁员人数超过了之前70年新增员工人数的总和;大约有1/3的制造业工作岗位——总约600万——消失了。 未来,改变会一直存在——新工作、新产品和新服务。但我们肯定(know for sure)的一件事情是:随着全球化和信息技术革命所取得的每一个进步,那些最好的工作都将需要劳动者们接受更多、更好的教育,以使他们优于普通员工。 生活在普通人才已正式过时的世界中,我们有很多的事情需要做来扶持就业(employment),但其中最重要的是为21世纪通过某种“士兵教育促就业法案(于1944年通

Think again. Leasingcan end up being just as expensive as buying. Most peoplethink about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They'reright-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were tolease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If youwere to buy the same car, you would pay about $400per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But afteryour lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many peoplewant to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwisebe able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you mightbe able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buya used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease,therefore, allows you to drive the

新概念英语第二册第38课

Lesson 38 Everything except the weather唯独没有考虑到天气Why did Harrison sell his house so quickly? My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England. He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country. He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there. Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold. After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end, it was more than he could bear. He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country. The dream he had had for so many years ended there. Harrison had thought of everything except the weather. 参考译文 我的老朋友哈里森在回到英国以前曾多年居住在地中海地区。过去他常幻想退休后到英国,并计划在乡间安顿下来。他刚一回到英国便买下了一幢房子住了进去。但紧接着他就开始抱怨那里的天气了。因为即使那时仍为夏季,但雨总是下个不停,而且常常冷得厉害。在阳光下生活了那么多年的哈里森对此感到惊奇。他的举动就好像他从未在英国生活过一样。最后,他再也忍受不住,还没等安顿下来就卖掉了房子,离开了这个国家。他多年来的幻想从此破灭。哈里森把每件事情都考虑到了,唯独没想到天气。 【New words and expressions】(6) except prep.除了,除了…外 eg. Except a broken chair, the room has no furniture. 除了一把破椅子,这间房子里什么也没有。(chair与furniture性质相同) except for eg. Except for a broken chair, the room is empty. 除了一把破椅子外,这间房子是空的。 except for没有“所指项目类别”的限制 except that eg. I know nothing about his career except that he is a graduate of Oxford University.
