新標準大學(xué)準英語視聽說教程(1)Conversation聽力原文學(xué)習(xí)啊

1、學(xué)英語簡單嗎？肯定會有許多學(xué)生說：“難死了”。為什么有好多學(xué)生對英語的學(xué)習(xí)都感到頭疼呢？答案只有一個：“不得法。” 英語與漢語一樣都是一種語言，為什么你說漢語會如此流利？那是因為你置身于一個漢語環(huán)境中，如果你在倫敦呆上半年，保準說起英語來會非常流利。但很多中學(xué)生沒有很好的英語環(huán)境，那么你可以自己設(shè)置一個英語環(huán)境，堅持“多說”、“多聽”、“多讀”、“多寫”，那么你的英語成績肯定會很出色。 一、多“說”。 自己多創(chuàng)造機會與英語教師多講英語，見了同學(xué)，尤其是和好朋友在一起時盡量用英語去問候，談心情這時候你需隨身攜帶一個英漢互譯小詞典，遇到生詞時查一下這些生詞，也不用刻意去記，用的多了，這個單詞自然而

2、然就會記住。千萬別把學(xué)英語當(dāng)成負擔(dān)，始終把它當(dāng)成一件有趣的事情去做。 或許你有機會碰上外國人，你應(yīng)大膽地上去跟他打招呼，和他談天氣、談風(fēng)景、談學(xué)校只是別問及他的年紀，婚史等私人問題。盡量用一些你學(xué)過的詞匯，句子去和他談天說地。不久你會發(fā)現(xiàn)與老外聊天要比你與中國人談英語容易的多。因為他和你交談時會用許多簡單詞匯，而且不太看重說法，你只要發(fā)音準確，準能順利地交流下去。只是你必須要有信心，敢于表達自己的思想。 如果沒有合適的伙伴也沒關(guān)系，你可以拿過一本書或其它什么東西做假想對象，對它談你一天的所見所聞，談你的快樂，你的悲傷等等，長此堅持下去你的口語肯定會有較大的提高。 二、多“聽” 尋找一切可以聽英

3、語的機會。別人用英語交談時，你應(yīng)該大膽地去參與，多聽聽各種各樣人的發(fā)音，男女老少，節(jié)奏快的慢的你都應(yīng)該接觸到，如果這樣的機會少的話，你可以選擇你不知內(nèi)容的文章去聽，這將會對你幫助很大，而你去聽學(xué)過的課文的磁帶，那將會對你的語言語調(diào)的學(xué)習(xí)有很大的幫助。 三、多“讀”。 “讀”可以分為兩種。一種是“默讀”。每天給予一定時間的練習(xí)將會對你提高閱讀速度有很大的好處，讀的內(nèi)容可以是你的課本，但最好是一些有趣的小讀物，因為現(xiàn)在的英語高考越來越重視閱讀量和閱讀速度。每道題的得分都與你的理解程度有很大關(guān)系，所以經(jīng)過高中三年閱讀的訓(xùn)練后，你必定會在高考中勝券在握。 另一種是“朗讀”這是學(xué)語言必不可少的一種學(xué)習(xí)途

4、徑。 四、多“寫” 有的同學(xué)總是抱怨時間緊，根本沒時間寫作文。其實“寫”的形式很多，不一定就寫作文才提高寫作能力。比如寫下你一天中發(fā)生的一些重要的事情，或當(dāng)天學(xué)了某一個詞組，你可以創(chuàng)設(shè)一個語境恰如其份地用上這個詞。這樣即可幫你記住這個詞的用法，又可以鍛煉你的寫作能力，比如學(xué)“wish”一詞時，可寫一小段如下： The teacher often asks us what we want to be in the future.My good friend Tom wishes to be a soldier.However,Im different .I wish I were a teach

5、er in the future.But my mother wishes me to be a doctor. 只幾句話：但wish的幾種用法已躍然紙上，這樣寫下來印象會深刻得多，這樣比死記硬背wish的用法也有趣輕松的多。 學(xué)習(xí)英語不用花大塊的時間，10分鐘的散步可以練說,吃完飯后可以讀一會兒英語小說，睡前聽幾分鐘英語，可以使你得到更好地休息只要你每天抽出一些時間來練英語，你的英語成績肯定會很快提高的。 背英語單詞技巧 1、循環(huán)記憶法 艾賓浩斯遺忘曲線 人的大腦是一個記憶的寶庫，人腦經(jīng)歷過的事物，思考過的問題，體驗過的情感和情緒，練習(xí)過的動作，都可以成為人們記憶的內(nèi)容。例如英文的學(xué)習(xí)中單詞

6、、短語和句子，甚至文章的內(nèi)容都是通過記憶完成的。從記到憶是有個過程的，這其中包括了識記、保持、再認和回憶。有很多 人在學(xué)習(xí)英語的過程中，只注重了學(xué)習(xí)當(dāng)時的記憶效果，孰不知，要想做好學(xué)習(xí)的記憶工作，是要下一番工夫的，單純的注重當(dāng)時的記憶效果，而忽視了后期的保持和再認同樣是達不到良好的效果的。 在信息的處理上，記憶是對輸入信息的編碼、貯存和提取的過程，從信息處理的角度上，英文的第一次學(xué)習(xí)和背誦只是一個輸入編碼的過程。人的記憶的能力從生理上講是十分驚人的，它可以存貯1015比特(byte，字節(jié))的信息，可是每個人的記憶寶庫被挖掘的只占10%，還有更多的記憶發(fā)揮空間。這是因為，有些人只關(guān)注了記憶的當(dāng)時

7、效果，卻忽視了記憶中的更大的問題-即記憶的牢固度問題，那就牽涉到心理學(xué)中常說的關(guān)于記憶遺忘的規(guī)律。 一、艾賓浩斯記憶規(guī)律曲線解釋 德國有一位著名的心理學(xué)家名叫艾賓浩斯(Hermann Ebbinghaus，1850-1909)，他在1885年發(fā)表了他的實驗報告后，記憶研究就成了心理學(xué)中被研究最多的領(lǐng)域之一，而艾賓浩斯正是發(fā)現(xiàn)記憶遺忘規(guī)律的第一人。 根據(jù)我們所知道的，記憶的保持在時間上是不同的，有短時的記憶和長時的記憶兩種。而我們平時的記憶的過程是這樣的： 輸入的信息在經(jīng)過人的注意過程的學(xué)習(xí)后，便成為了人的短時的記憶，但是如果不經(jīng)過及時的復(fù)習(xí)，這些記住過的東西就會遺忘，而經(jīng)過了及時的復(fù)習(xí)，這些短

8、時的記憶就會成為了人的一種長時的記憶，從而在大腦中保持著很長的時間。那么，對于我們來講，怎樣才叫做遺忘呢，所謂遺忘就是我們對于曾經(jīng)記憶過的東西不能再認起來，也不能回憶起來，或者是錯誤的再認和錯誤的回憶，這些都是遺忘。艾賓浩斯在做這個實驗的時候是拿自己作為測試對象的，他得出了一些關(guān)于記憶的結(jié)論。他選用了一些根本沒有意義的音節(jié)，也就是那些不能拼出單詞來的眾多字母的組合，比如asww，cfhhj，ijikmb，rfyjbc等等。他經(jīng)過對自己的測試，得到了一些數(shù)據(jù)。 然后，艾賓浩斯又根據(jù)了這些點描繪出了一條曲線，這就是非常有名的揭示遺忘規(guī)律的曲線：艾賓浩斯遺忘曲線，圖中豎軸表示學(xué)習(xí)中記住的知識數(shù)量，橫

9、軸表示時間(天數(shù))，曲線表示記憶量變化的規(guī)律。 這條曲線告訴人們在學(xué)習(xí)中的遺忘是有規(guī)律的，遺忘的進程不是均衡的，不是固定的一天丟掉幾個，轉(zhuǎn)天又丟幾個的，而是在記憶的最初階段遺忘的速度很快，后來就逐漸減慢了，到了相當(dāng)長的時候后，幾乎就不再遺忘了，這就是遺忘的發(fā)展規(guī)律，即先快后慢的原則。觀察這條遺忘曲線，你會發(fā)現(xiàn),學(xué)得的知識在一天后，如不抓緊復(fù)習(xí),就只剩下原來的25%)。隨著時間的推移,遺忘的速度減慢，遺忘的數(shù)量也就減少。有人做過一個實驗，兩組學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)一段課文，甲組在學(xué)習(xí)后不久進行一次復(fù)習(xí)，乙組不予復(fù)習(xí)，一天后甲組保持98%，乙組保持56%；一周后甲組保持83%，乙組保持33%。乙組的遺忘平均值比

10、甲組高。 二、不同性質(zhì)材料有不同的遺忘曲線 而且，艾賓浩斯還在關(guān)于記憶的實驗中發(fā)現(xiàn)，記住12個無意義音節(jié)，平均需要重復(fù)16.5次；為了記住36個無意義章節(jié)，需重復(fù)54次；而記憶六首詩中的480個音節(jié)，平均只需要重復(fù)8次！這個實驗告訴我們，凡是理解了的知識，就能記得迅速、全面而牢固。不然，愣是死記硬背，那也是費力不討好的。因此，比較容易記憶的是那些有意義的材料，而那些無意義的材料在記憶的時候比較費力氣，在以后回憶起來的時候也很不輕松。因此，艾賓浩斯遺忘曲線是關(guān)于遺忘的一種曲線，而且是對無意義的音節(jié)而言，對于與其他材料的對比，艾賓浩斯又得出了不同性質(zhì)材料的不同遺忘曲線，不過他們大體上都是一致的。

11、因此，艾賓浩斯的實驗向我們充分證實了一個道理，學(xué)習(xí)要勤于復(fù)習(xí)，而且記憶的理解效果越好，遺忘的也越慢。 三、不同的人有不同的艾賓浩斯記憶曲線-個性化的艾賓浩斯 上述的艾賓浩斯記憶曲線是艾賓浩斯在實驗室中經(jīng)過了大量測試后，產(chǎn)生了不同的記憶數(shù)據(jù)，從而生成的一種曲線，是一個具有共性的群體規(guī)律。此記憶曲線并不考慮接受試驗個人的個性特點，而是尋求一種處于平衡點的記憶規(guī)律。 但是記憶規(guī)律可以具體到我們每個人，因為我們的生理特點、生活經(jīng)歷不同，可能導(dǎo)致我們有不同的記憶習(xí)慣、記憶方式、記憶特點。規(guī)律對于自然人改造世界的行為，只能起一個催化的作用，如果與每個人的記憶特點相吻合，那么就如順水揚帆，一日千里；如果與個

12、人記憶特點相悖，記憶效果則會大打折扣。因此，我們要根據(jù)每個人的不同特點，尋找到屬于自己的艾賓浩斯記憶曲線 2如何學(xué)英語 下定決心，堅持不懈 英語學(xué)習(xí)作為一門語言技能，通過大量的訓(xùn)練和練習(xí)任何人是可以掌握的。一般地說，英語學(xué)習(xí)的原則是聽、說領(lǐng)先，讀、寫跟上。李揚的瘋狂英語提倡，首先建立起我能學(xué)好英語的信心，然后以句子為單位，大量地模仿，瘋狂地操練，大聲地朗讀，最后達到自如地說英語，他的方法對提高說英語的能力很奏效。鐘道隆教授45歲開始學(xué)英語，一年后，學(xué)成出國當(dāng)口語翻譯，并創(chuàng)造了逆苦惱、逆急于求成、逆速成的逆向?qū)W習(xí)英語的方法。他還提出學(xué)習(xí)英語要遵循聽、寫、說、背、想的方法，他的方法強調(diào)以聽為主，并

13、且把所聽到的內(nèi)容全部寫下來。尤其是他的學(xué)習(xí)精神最可佳，他學(xué)習(xí)英語用壞了十幾臺錄音機，你可想象他聽了多少英語；用完的圓珠筆芯幾乎裝滿了一個一拉罐，你可想象他寫了多少，在一年半內(nèi)，累計業(yè)余學(xué)習(xí)英語時間大約三千小時，也就說每天抽出幾個小時來學(xué)英語。如果我們做到他那樣，一定也能學(xué)好英語。最重要的是堅持，只要能下定決心，堅持每天至少一個小時的學(xué)習(xí)英語，戰(zhàn)勝自我最后肯定會有收獲的。 注意方法，循序漸進 決心下定，還注意學(xué)習(xí)方法，有時根據(jù)自己的情況和不同的學(xué)習(xí)目的，選擇不同的學(xué)習(xí)方法，但是學(xué)習(xí)英語一定要踏踏實實地、一步一個腳印地走。要把基礎(chǔ)知識掌握好，也就是說，發(fā)音要正確、基本詞匯要掌握牢、基本句式要熟練、

14、基本語法要會用。 （1）要過好語音關(guān)。把每一個音標發(fā)正確，注意改正有問題的音素，特別是那些容易混淆的音素，盡早地掌握國際音標，并盡量的掌握一些讀音規(guī)則，盡快地能利用讀音規(guī)則來拼單詞，掌握讀音規(guī)則對單詞的記憶和拼寫非常有用。 （2）掌握一定數(shù)量的英語單詞。對于學(xué)習(xí)者來說掌握英語詞匯是一難關(guān)，學(xué)習(xí)單詞要從單詞的形、音、義這三方面去掌握，要注意單詞的一詞多義，一詞多類的用法，要學(xué)會一些構(gòu)詞法的知識，來擴展詞匯量。學(xué)習(xí)單詞要在語言材料中去學(xué)，要結(jié)合詞組，通過句子，閱讀文章來活記單詞，死記的單詞是記不牢的。堅持在讀、說前，先反復(fù)聽，聽的時候反應(yīng)單詞、句子的意思和節(jié)奏，想一下單詞的拼法、句子結(jié)構(gòu)。并要同學(xué)

15、習(xí)語法規(guī)則有機結(jié)合起來進行。 （3）掌握好基本語法。語法在學(xué)習(xí)英語中也很重要，它能幫助我們把握住英語的基本規(guī)律，通過例句或語言現(xiàn)象把死的語法規(guī)則要記住，活的規(guī)則要通過做大量的練習(xí)掌握。總之學(xué)習(xí)英語要通過聽、說、讀、寫、譯來進行操練，不但要注意數(shù)量，更重要的是要注意質(zhì)量，尤其是基本知識要掌握的準確，熟練。只有經(jīng)過大量的實踐，才能做到熟能生巧，運用自如。 提前預(yù)習(xí)，有的放矢 作為學(xué)生，在每次上課前，都要對要學(xué)的課文提前預(yù)習(xí)。首先在音標的幫助下試著拼讀單詞，也可以借助配套磁帶反復(fù)聽，對比一下，把握不準的要標出來，注意上課老師的發(fā)音，還要記一下單詞的漢語意思和詞性。借助課文的注釋或輔導(dǎo)材料，預(yù)習(xí)一遍課

16、文，找出不明白的地方，做到心中有數(shù)，在教師講課時注意聽這些地方?？傊A(yù)習(xí)的目的是熟悉要學(xué)的內(nèi)容，找出不明白的地方，帶著問題聽課，做到有的放矢。 認真聽課，積極配合 課堂是老師與學(xué)生一起學(xué)習(xí)、掌握、運用知識的主要場所。作為起主導(dǎo)作用的老師一方引導(dǎo)學(xué)生搞好課堂教學(xué)是很必要的，但也需要學(xué)習(xí)者的積極配合。上課要專心聽講、作好筆記、認真操練、積極思考。預(yù)習(xí)時出現(xiàn)的問題在課堂上教師沒有講到的，要向老師提出，把問題搞清楚，老師講授的問題，先注意聽，下課后整理一下筆記，反復(fù)思考一下這些問題，抓住老師所講的重點，難點和考點。總之，上課時要做到耳聽、眼觀、嘴動、腦想，調(diào)動起多個感官來。 完成作業(yè)，找出問題 學(xué)完

17、每一課，要認真完成課后作業(yè)。做作業(yè)時一定不要看參考書上題的答案，做完后再對答案，對于作業(yè)中所出現(xiàn)的不明白的問題，應(yīng)該記下來，等下次上課時提出來。做作業(yè)是英語學(xué)習(xí)的很重要的環(huán)節(jié)，它是消化知識和鞏固知識的過程，一定要認真完成規(guī)定的作業(yè)，筆頭作業(yè)要動一動筆，口頭作業(yè)要動一動嘴，提高聽力要練一練耳，課文在聽和讀的基礎(chǔ)上，最好背誦某些精彩段落。總之，要做大量的練習(xí)，英語是練出來的， 一定不要偷懶。 及時復(fù)習(xí)，鞏固知識 學(xué)會了的東西隨著時間的流逝會逐漸遺忘，但學(xué)語言有遺忘現(xiàn)象是正常的。更不必因為有遺忘現(xiàn)象而影響自己學(xué)好英語的信心與決心。問題在于怎樣來減輕遺忘的程度。善于類比，總結(jié)知識，把新學(xué)的知識同過去學(xué)

18、的有關(guān)的知識進行橫向和縱向比較和聯(lián)系。建立錯誤檔案記錄，加深印象，以避免再反同樣錯誤。我們大部分知識和技能是靠重復(fù)獲得的，及時復(fù)習(xí)對于記憶非常必要，學(xué)英語就是要堅持天天不斷的練，不斷地重復(fù)基本句型，常用詞匯和基本語法等。學(xué)習(xí)英語的過程也是同遺忘做斗爭的過程。 總而言之，只要你能做到下定決心學(xué)，注意學(xué)習(xí)方法，把課前預(yù)習(xí)，認真聽課，完成作業(yè)，及時復(fù)習(xí)這些環(huán)節(jié)作好了，你一定能夠?qū)W好英語Unit 1Conversation 1Porter: Good afternoon.

Janet: Eating fruit and vegetables can improve your memory. Mark: I read something in The Times about that. True.

37、 Janet: True, it says here. Mark: Oh, no! Ive got a lecture. Id forgotten. Id better get going! Janet: Oh, Mark! What a good memory you have!Conversation 2Kate: Youre looking a bit down, Janet. Whats up? Janet: Well . Im finding studying at Oxford quite hard. Kate: Youre telling me! Theres so much w

38、ork! Janet: Its not the amount of work, but everythings so different. In China, generally we have large classes, we dont have tutorials. And mostly, our teacher tells us what we should do. So Im not used to asking questions or discussing things. I find it difficult. Kate: You have to memorize a lot,

39、 dont you? Janet: Yes, but Im good at that. Kate: Youre lucky. Theres so much to remember studying law! I have difficulty sometimes, I really do. Janet: Yes, well, weve been trained to do that. But we dont have so much training in critical thinking. Kate: What do you mean by critical thinking? Janet

40、: Let me think . I think its giving your opinion and then justifying it. Kate: Yes, I suppose thats what our teachers have always encouraged us to do. Janet: I am getting better at it, I suppose. Kate: Hey! How about this? Lets pretend Im your tutor. Ill make a statement. Your task is to examine it

41、and then ask questions. Janet: OK. Kate: Everyone is capable of learning a second language. Go on, ask a question! Janet: Why do you say that? Kate: Thats what the research tells us. Now ask another one. Janet: Can you give an example of some research? Kate: Um . No! Look, Im starving and I cant thi

42、nk at all when Im hungry.Unit 4Conversation 1Kate: Oh, I must make a quick call. . Jacky: Hello, Jacky Gordon speaking. Kate: Hello, can I speak to Abbie, please? Jacky: Ill see if shes in, can you hold on? Kate: Sure. . Jacky: Hello? Shes out, Im afraid. Can I give her a message er . or I can ask h

43、er to call you back? Kate: Could you ask her to call me back? Jacky: Sure. Whos calling? Kate: Kate Santos. Jacky: Kate Santos, OK. Does Abbie have your number? Kate: Yes, she does. Jacky: Ill tell her you called. Kate: Thanks. Janet: Abbie? I know a girl called Abbie. She reads English, doesnt she?

44、 Kate: Yes, how do you know her? Janet: She has a tutorial just after me so we chat a bit. We get on really well. Kate: Yes, everyone likes Abbie. I think its because shes really interested in people shes a very good listener. She should be, she works for Nightline. Janet: Nightline? Kate: Oh, I hav

45、ent told you, Ive joined it. Janet: What is it? Ive never heard of it. Kate: Look, Ive got a leaflet about it. Janet: So. Kate: Its a university helpline for students who are having problems. Im training to be one of the people they can call to talk to. Janet: You mean, youre a volunteer? Kate: Yes.

46、 Janet: Oh, thats great, Kate Conversation 2Abbie: Hi, Abbie speaking. Kate: Hi, Abbie, its Kate Santos. Abbie: Hi! Im sorry not to have called you back. Ive got a lot on at the moment. Hows things? Kate: Fine. I just wanted to let you know I wont be able to come to the next training session. Abbie:

47、 Um . Its quite an important session. Oh, can you hold on a moment. Theres someone at the door. . Abbie: Hi, Im sorry, look, can I call you back later? Kate: Sure. What time?

Kate: Its great! At the moment, shes training us in listening skills. Janet: Listening skills? What do you

49、mean, listening skills? Kate: Um . The ability to really listen to someone and make them feel youre listening. Its very important. Janet: Ive never thought about that before. Kate: Yes, for example, one thing you can do is listen carefully and then repeat what someone says but maybe a little differe

50、ntly. Janet: So what youre saying is, repeat what someone says but maybe not the exact same words. Kate: Yes. You see, when you do that, you check youve understood and you show them youre really listening. Janet: So they know youve really heard them. Kate: Very good, Janet. I can see youve got it al
