2021年10月高等教育自学考试英语二的深度解析与学习心得The October 2021 Higher Education Self-Taught Examination English II, as a standardized test designed to assess the English proficiency of self-taught learners, plays a pivotal role in evaluating their progress and readiness for further academic pursuits. This examination not only tests linguistic knowledge but also evaluates the candidates' ability to apply their English skills in practical contexts.The exam covers a wide range of topics, including reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, writing, and translation. Each section demands a different set of skills and knowledge, making it imperative for learners to prepare comprehensively. Reading comprehension, for instance, requires candidates to demonstrate a strong understanding of textual content and the ability to extract relevant information. Vocabulary and grammar sections test the learners' mastery of the language's basic building blocks. The writing section challenges candidates to express their ideas clearly and coherently, while the translation sectionassesses their ability to switch between languages accurately.During my preparation for the October 2021 examination, I found that a structured approach to studying was essential. I began by reviewing my textbooks and notes, focusing on the key points and areas where I felt less confident. Regular practice with past papers and mock tests helped me identify my weaknesses and allowed me to work on improving them. Additionally, I utilized various online resources, such as vocabulary quizzes and grammar tutorials, to enhance my understanding of the material.One key aspect of my preparation was developing strategies for each section of the exam. For reading comprehension, I focused on improving my speed and accuracy by practicing with timed passages. For vocabulary and grammar, I created flashcards and quizzes to aid in memorization. For writing, I wrote essays and practiced different types of writing to develop my writing skills.And for translation, I practiced translating betweenEnglish and my native language, focusing on accuracy and fluency.Moreover, I recognized the importance of maintaining a positive mindset throughout the preparation process. Staying motivated and focused was challenging at times, but I found that setting small, achievable goals and rewarding myself for meeting them kept me engaged and excited about learning.On the day of the examination, I felt well-prepared and confident in my abilities. The exam itself was challenging but manageable, and I believe that my preparation paid off. Reflecting on my experience, I realize that the key to success in the Higher Education Self-Taught Examination English II lies in a combination of diligent preparation, effective strategies, and a positive attitude.2021年10月的高等教育自学考试英语二,作为一场评估自考学员英语水平的标准化考试,在衡量学员学习进度和准备进一步学术追求方面起着至关重要的作用。

朱德顾不得拉过来的椅子,端端正正地站在这个比他年轻十岁的青年面前,用平稳的语调, 说明自己的身份和经历: 他怎样逃出云南, 怎样会见孙中山, 怎样在上海被陈独秀拒绝, 怎样为了寻求自己的新的生活方式和中国的新的革命道路而来到欧洲。
6. When both visitors had told their stories, Chou smiled a little, said he would help them find rooms, and arrange for them to join the Berlin Communist group as candidates until their application had been sent to China and an answer received.

10. „ This is for you,‟ Bill Morrow heard on many occasions he would never forget——such as when he was taken a boat down the Grand Canal and every boat that passed sounded its siren in salutation. Or when he shown over the great Nanjing bridge, built where the ferries used to carry trains across the Changjiang River. He was given a chair and asked to wait a little as darkness came on, then suddenly the whole bridge was outlined in lights.
“这是为你安排的。” 这句话比尔。莫诺听到过好几次, 每一次都令他难以忘怀。 有一次, 他沿大运河乘船顺水而下,途经的每艘船都鸣笛致敬。 还有一次, 他参观雄伟的南京长江大桥——以前没桥时, 要靠轮渡托载火车横渡长江。 夜幕渐渐降临了, 他被安排坐下,并被告知稍坐等候, 然后突然间, 整个桥身被灯光勾画出了一个清晰的轮廊。
11. The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sulliven, came to me. I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrast between the two lives which it connects.

Have you been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in ,and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was. “ light! Give me light!” was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour.
不知你是否有过这样的经历——在海上航行遇上了大雾,周围一片白,好像着实把你关在一个黑暗的地方,大船上的人又紧张又着急, 一面用铅锤探测深浅,一面向岸边慢慢驶去, 你的心也怦怦直跳,生怕出事。 我在开始受教育之前, 就像这样一条船, 只是没有罗盘, 没有测探绳, 也无法知道离海港有多远。 “光明!给我光明!” 这就是发自我内心深处的无言的呼唤, 也就在这时候, 爱心的光芒照到了我的身上。
14. Someone took it, and I was caught up and held close in the arms of her who had come to reveal all things to me, and, more than all things else, to love me.
