真题演练答案及解析—复合式听写部分

【真题演练1解析】(CET-2009.6)
【原文】
Around 120 years ago, Ebbinghaus began his study of memory. He concentrated on studying how quickly the human mind can remember information. One result of his research is known as the total time hypothesis, which simply mean the amount you learn depends on the time you spend trying to learn it. This can be taken as our first rule of learning. Although it is usually true that studying for 4 hours is better than studying for 1, there is still the question of how to use the 4 hours. For example, is it better to study for 4 hours straight or to study for 1 hour a day for 4 days in a row? The answer, as you may have suspected, is that it is better to spread out the study times. This phenomenon through which we can learn more efficiently by dividing our practice time is known as the distribution of practice effect. Thus, our second rule of learning is this. It’s better to study fairly briefly but often. But we are not finished yet. We haven’t considered how we should study over very short periods of time. Let’s say you are trying to learn some new and rather difficult English vocabulary using a stack of cards. Should you look at the same word in rapid succession or look at the word and then have some delay before you look at it again? The answer is: it is better to space up the presentations of the word you are to learn.
【答案】
36. concentrated 37. information 38. depends 39. straight 40. row
41. suspected 42. phenomenon 43. efficiently
44. Our second rule is this: it is better to study fairly briefly by often.
45. Let’s say you are trying to learn some new and rather difficult English vocabulary using a stack of cards.
46. The answer is: it is better to space up the presentations of the word you are to learn.
【分析】
本次的听写部分较往年来说较为简单，如information。而较难的phenomenon一词也在去年的考试中已经出现过。就考点而言，词汇中这次比较奇特的是动词扮演了主要角色，一共考了3个动词，3个名词和2个副词，而形容词一个都没有出现；3个动词都有时态变化，而名词中phenomenon一词是复数不规则词汇，information则是不可数名词，而最简单的row也考出了同近音词汇的考点。44题的句子听写原文已经给出了提示，根据前面的“This can be taken as our first rule of learning”，可判断下面是讲解听力的第二个原则的。45题相对比较简单，是用打比方说明分段记忆的重要性，较难的词为“a stack of一叠，一摞”。46题确定好句式，it is better to…，然后填写关键信息spread out the presentation of the words you are to learn.较难的词为presentation.

【真题演练2解析】(CET-2009.12)
【原文】
In the humanities, authors write to inform you in many ways. These methods can be classified into three types of informational writing: factual, descriptive, and process.
Factual writing provides background information on an author, composer or artist, or on a type of music, literature, or art. Examples of factual writing include notes on a book jacket or album cover, and longer pieces such as an article describing a style of music, which you might read in a music appreciation course. This kind of writing provides a context for your study of the humanities.
As its name implies, descriptive writing simply describes, or provides an image of a piece of music, art or literature. For example, descriptive writing might list the colors an artist used in a painting or the instruments a composer included in a musical composition. So estimate pictures or sounds in a reader’s mind by calling up specific details of the work. Descriptive writing in the humanities, particularly in literature, is often mixed with critical writing. Process writing explains a series of actions that bring about a result. It tells the reader how to do something. For example, explaining the technique used to shoot a film. This kind of writing is often found in art, where understanding how an artist created a certain effect is important. Authors may actually use more than one type of technique in a given piece of informational writing.
【答案】
36. classified 37. background 38. album 39. appreciation
40. context 41. implies 42. image 43. instruments
44. Descriptive writing in the humanities, particularly in literature, is often mixed with critical writing.
45. It tells the reader how to do something. For example, explaining the technique used to shoot a film.
46. Authors may actually use more than one type of technique in a given piece of informational writing.
【分析】
此次复合式听写的话题比较专业，介绍了三类写作题材。原文中就充斥了许多长难词，致使许多学生预读时就一头雾水。尤其是全文的首句：in the humanities, authors write to inform you in many ways. 考生在预读过程中往往会纠结在humanities这个词上。在这里这个词解释为“人文学科”更合适。如果这句话看懂了，那么接下来理解全文就很容易。如果将这个词直白地解释为“人性”，那么对文章的整体把握就会有很大出入。这次复合式听写考到的八个单词分别是：classified, background, album, appreciation, context, implies, image, instruction。其中大多都是名词，且基本都是常用词汇，拼写也都符合一般的发音规律。尤其是appreciation，instruction这两个单词的拼写都是我们在昂立的课堂上反复强调过的。最后的三个句子分别是：1. Descriptive writing in the humanities, particularly in literature, is often mixed with critical writing.; 2. for example, explaining the technique used to shoot a film.; 3. Authors may actually use more than one type of technique in a given piece of informational writing.
通过真题我们可以发现，在复合式听写的句子中经常会有原文原词出现。其中descriptive writing，humanities，literature，authors，informational writing都在原文中可以直接找到。另外，如果考生在考场上能抓住三个句子的主谓宾，例如第一句写成Descriptive writing is mixed with critical writing那么既保留了句子的大意，而且也能规避如particularly这样的长难词。
