新浪网有免费的 建议订一份英语周报,记住要定磁带,连同磁带一起订,每周做一张这样的报纸 高中课程多时间紧,建议要把时间花在刀刃上,很难有什么机会制造什么英语环境的。高考词汇新课标的增加到3000个左右了，是不是每个单词都要考呢？这个想都不要想，肯定是有部分单词永远不考的。要考的那些单词肯定只有那么几个。所以在背单词的时候就是要讲究重点的。 可以把近十年的高考卷都拿来看看分析一下，看看都是考了什么词，当然考点重复的可能性很小，但是各地的卷子拿来统筹分析一下就会发现有很多重复的考点，所谓风水轮流转，各地出卷也是有统筹安排的。重点词汇就是那么几个，每年考出来都会分配。 那什么是所谓的重点词汇呢？我们知道高考喜欢一两个知识点套起来考。所以能被拿去套的单词就是考试会考的单词。什么单词能被拿去套？用脚丫子想都知道，有词组的单词才可能被拿去考嘛。 翻翻《牛津英汉双解高阶词典》你就知道，有的词考纲里有，但是字典里没有词组可以找到，所以这类词叫做低频词。有的词在词典里有很多词组，这些词考到的概率就很高。平时学习的时候就应该多多整理这些词的词组，习语，用法等等。背会这些词，考起试来就不用怕了，当然量很大的。这种学习方法花费的时间主要是整理上面比较多，厚厚的《牛津英汉双解高阶词典》翻起来是比较费劲的，但是效果很好，基本上所有的高考英语状元都会入手一本《牛津英汉双解高阶词典》。因为他们知道，这本书以外的东西高考出卷人不敢考的。相当于《新华字典》对语文考试的重要性。 另一种学习方法是做题，做题一般都会错题，高考英语状元也一样。有错题就要把题目里考查的“词组”或者说“考点”整理出来。怎么整理考点？句子里肯定有一个动词，名词或者形容词来支配选项里头的介词，把这个词和搭配的介词挨个在《牛津英汉双解高阶词典》里头查出来，整理出词组，和各种搭配的意思，做成笔记，这样不断复习，日积月累效果也会很好。当然这种方法是被动的学习，先错后改正的方式。 其实最好是能把上面两种结合起来，学一个新单元的时候，就把词汇挨个到《牛津英汉双解高阶词典》里头查查，把重点词汇总结好。再结合做题，有做错的，再总结，这样自己的高频词汇量就会保持迅猛增长。因为自己有所准备，所以考试分也能比较高，这样可以增加信心。背起单词也能有所了解，那些单词是一定要记得滚瓜烂熟的，那些知道什么意思就可以了。 高考就爱考词组很多的单词,这样的单词容易混,被猜中答案的概率就低,这种词的词组就要整理出来,大概3000多个这种词组,背完可以稳上125,另外如果想考140分以上的高分的话,还有中低频的词组12万个要记忆你都高三了,可能来不及整理了,推荐你看看永安纤城中学06年高考英语单科状元廖唯伟的笔记整理了高中所有单词的词组15万个,按高考相关度分单元排列的72页,比任何单词书都轻便新版让福州的书法家重抄制作的,我刚买一份,才116块状元爷亲自给我做客服辅导,爽啊 我原来已经买了旧版106块的了, 已经进步了十多分了,买了新版,希望把没看清的给补上这样能多进步一点这也是目前唯一能证明是状元自己出售的笔记了2018年高考英语全国卷1 - 阅读理解DSome people will do just about anything to save money And I am one of them Take my family’s last vacation It was my six-year-old son’s winter break form school ,and we were heading home form Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day I had meeting in New York, So I had to get back But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay I took my nine-month-old and took off for home 有些人为了省钱会竭尽所能，我也是其中之一。带上我家人的最后一个假期，那是我六岁儿子的寒假，经过一周的旅行，我们正从劳德代尔堡回家。航班预定超额，达美航空公司让我们放弃座位，第二天离开，并为每人补偿400美元。我在纽约有会议要参加，所以我必须回去。但我可以让我丈夫和儿子留下来，所以我带着九个月大的孩子回家了。 The next day my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight Yes, I encouraged一okay, ordered-them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars Our total take: $1,600 Not bad, huh 第二天，我的丈夫和儿子因为乘坐更晚的航班，获得了更多的补偿。是的，我鼓励的——好吧，让他们在机场等候以便从达美“赚”得更多的美元。我们总共花费1600美元，不错吧？ Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar And these days, a good deal is some-timething few of us can afford to pass up 如今好多人可能认为我不是一个好母亲，也不是一个好妻子。但是作为一位热衷于讨价还价的人，我知道一美元的价值。现在，一笔划算的交易是我们中很少有人能放弃的。 I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing the worst tricks I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide And I really do what I believe in 我以寻找最好的交易和揭露最坏的伎俩为生。十多年来，我一直是NBC《今日秀》的消费者记者。我写过几本书，其中一本书名为《交易技巧：消费者生存指南》。我真的是言行一致。 I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children,and expensive restaurantsBut I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut It keeps its longer, and it's the first thing people notice And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture Quality lasts 我告诉你这一点，是因为让花的钱物有所值并不羞耻。给孩子穿的鞋子、衣服和昂贵的餐馆，我也很吝啬，但我会毫不犹豫地花钱去剪个好发型。它保持的时间更长，这是人们的第一印象。我还要买一件经典的家具，品质持久。2017年高考英语全国卷1 - 阅读理解BWe may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things 我们可能认为，在我们的文化中，一看到崭新的事物就会摒弃我们的旧技术，但一项新的研究表明，当旧设备过时了之后我们仍然继续使用。这对于环境和我们的钱包来说是个坏消息，因为这些过时的设备做同样的事情要比新设备消耗更多的能源。 To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s Devices were grouped by generation Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992 Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997 And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007 为了弄清楚这些设备的耗电量，纽约罗切斯特理工学院的卡莉·巴比特和她的同事跟踪了每种产品在其整个生命周期内造成的环境代价——从原料开采到停止使用该设备。这一方法提供了自20世纪90年代初以来家庭能源使用的变化数据。不同的年代出现了不同的设备。台式计算机、最初的移动电话和盒式电视定义了1992年。1997年，数码相机问世。2002年MP3播放器、智能手机和液晶电视进入家庭，2007年平板电脑和电子阅读器问世。 As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007 We're not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window 然而，当我们积累了更多的设备时，我们并没有扔掉我们的旧设备。一位研究人员说：“客厅的电视更换后放在孩子们的房间里，突然有一天，家里每个房间都有一台电视”。每个家庭拥有的电子设备平均数量从1992年的4台增加到2007年的13台。我们不仅保留了这些旧设备，我们还继续使用它们。根据巴比特团队的分析，旧的台式显示器和带有阴极射线管的盒式电视是最糟糕的设备，它们的能耗和温室气体排放量都很高，在1992年至2007年期间增加了一倍多。 So what's the solution The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44% 那么解决方案是什么呢？该团队的数据仅持续到2007年，但研究人员还探讨了如果消费者使用具有多种功能的新电子产品（如用于文字处理和电视观看的平板电脑）取代旧产品会发生什么情况。他们发现，用平板电脑上代替电视和台式电脑观看更多的娱乐点播节目，可以减少44%的能耗。2009年高考英语全国卷1 - 阅读理解AI work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in LocustValley Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain However, when it works, it is simply beautiful 我在“野生动物志愿者”组织工作，这是蝗虫谷贝利植物园的一个援救教育组织，帮助受伤、流离失所或生病的动物。这样的工作可能会令人心碎；因为无法确定动物是否能活下来。然而，当救援起作用时，这种感觉真的很棒！ I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown She had found a young owl on the ground When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl It had already been placed in a carrier for safety 我接到马特顿镇一位女士的求救电话，她在地上发现了一只猫头鹰幼鸟。当我到达时，我看见了一只两三周大的猫头鹰。为了安全起见，它已经被放在一辆大货车上。 I examined the chick and it seemed fine If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree 我检查了这只幼鸟，看起来还不错。如果我能找到鸟巢，我也许能把它放回去，但没那么幸运。接下来的工作就是建造一只鸟巢，并固定在一棵树上。 The homeowner was very helpful A wire basket was found I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down 房主非常乐于助人，给我找来了一只铁丝篮。为了让鸟巢安全舒适，我把一些松枝放进铁丝篮里，然后我把小猫头鹰放进鸟巢里，它很快安静了下来。 Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring 现在最需要的是这只小猫头鹰的父母，但它们不在。我给了房主一份小猫头鹰饥饿尖叫声的录音。这些录音会让猫头鹰父母知道小猫头鹰的存在，也会鼓励小猫头鹰学着尖叫。我把尽可能多的消息告诉了房主，然后回家，看看晚上会有什么情况。 A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH！The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so 这的确是一个紧张的夜晚，但有时大自然的神灵会眷顾我们！房主打电话说小猫头鹰的父母已经对这些录音做出了回应。我开车过去，鸟巢里的小猫头鹰看起来健康又活泼。鸟巢里出现了最令人感动的一幕——小猫头鹰的身边全是午餐！它的父母已经在尽职尽责，而且很可能会继续这样做。I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank There I saw Ma Shwe with her three month old calf struggling in the fastrising water, and it was a life and death struggle Her calf was floating and screaming with fear Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away 突然，我听到一头大象发出惊恐的哭声，低头一看，我立刻意识到出了问题，便跑到附近的岸边。马瑞和她三个月大的小象在快速上涨的河水中挣扎，这是一场生死考验。小象在水面上漂浮着，发出恐惧的尖叫声。马瑞尽可能靠近远处的河岸，用全身抵住湍急的水流，让小象紧贴着她巨大的身体，小象随时都会被洪水卷走。 There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk against the rocky bank Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock 河水突然上涨，小象从母亲身上冲走。马瑞迅速转身抓住了他，用她的头和象鼻护着小象顶住石岸。然后费了好大的劲把小象拖上象鼻，尽力放在一块狭窄的岩石上。 Just at this moment,she fell back into the river If she were carried down, it would be certain death I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf 就在这时，她掉进了河里。如果她被吞没，必死无疑。我和她都知道，只有一个地点可以上岸，但那在她刚才放小象的地方的对面。 While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother's love Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring all the time, but to her calf it was music 正当我犹豫接下来应该做些什么的时候，我听到一种母爱的声音。马瑞穿过了河流爬到了岸上，正在以最快的速度返回，一路吼叫着，这对小象来说，就是一首音乐。
