新概念必背36篇.doc

精选新概念必背优秀文章 36 篇1- 1 经典教材精选的美文这个优秀文章 36 篇是我从新概念三、四的教材里精心挑选出来的, 其中新概念三 20 篇和新概念四的 16篇, 从贴近考研英语的角度来筛选,剔除了大部分的记叙文和说明文题材,主要就是论说文了。这些精选出来的文章作为必须背诵的素材。原来的文档很多都有或多或少的小错误。这里我都精心对照过, 并且尽力避免出现错误。以前那个版本只有 20 篇文章(新三 12 篇,新四 8篇) ,有网友反映排版使用不是很方便,这里重新排版。另外字体用稍微大一点的 5 号,眼睛会舒服一点,还可以做一点点笔记,不过页数会增加一点。蓝色加粗是考研重点词汇, 要从课文句子中掌握其用法, 不是很熟的最好查一下牛津或者其他词典; 加阴影紫色字体是考研用短语和句型。划线的重点要熟练应用的句子,尽量应用到作文中去。对这 36 篇文章最好是听写、翻译、背诵一步步来。先把文章听写出来,然后翻译成中文,再把中文翻译成英文,最后背诵。不过这个过程很花时间,但是也能提高英语能力。如果单纯考研应试,英语不想考那么高分, 而其他科目需要的时间多点,那就只背诵吧。背诵是一件很痛苦的事情, 实在背不下来, 可以给自己定一个量的要求:“ 50 遍啊 50遍!”甚至更强的“ 100 遍啊 100 遍”读了 50 遍以上就算背不出来也很熟练了吧。语言是背出来,模仿磁带的读音,大声跟读大声的背,将可以达到听说读写齐头并进。新概念三 Lesson 14A noble gangster 贵族歹徒 There There was was a a time time when when the owners of shops and businesses in Chicago had to pay large sums of money to gangsters in in return return for for ' protection .'
