Franco’s government. Under Bernabeu’s patronage,
Real Madrid became the greatest club side ever, won 8. ____
the European Champions Cup a record five times in a
row between 1956 and 1960, a remarkable feat that

答案:
1.【参考答案】将lies改为lying。
【参考译文】 没有别的体育场位置能与伯纳贝乌体育场位置相媲美了,它位于卡斯特拉纳,位于穿越马德里市中心这条高速公路的三叉路口。
【试题分析】 本题辨析主句与分词状语关系的误用。
【详细解答】 lies as it does on the Castellana ,虽然主语应该是Bernabeu,但由于前面Few football grounds boast a more prestigious address thantheBernabeu是比较级的句子,而且比较对象很明确:是Few football grounds 与the Bernabeu,而lies的误用,导致了句子结构的混乱。鉴于lies as it does…是对the Bernabeu的补充说明,故将lies改为lying,使之与后面的句子变成状语,就解决了问题。
2.【参考答案】将threelining改为threelined。
【参考译文】 译文同上句。
【试题分析】 本题辨析分词作定语时的误用。
【详细解答】 threelining与其修饰词highway的逻辑关系是被动的。而现在分词往往是与其修饰词的关系是主动的。因此,将threelining改为threelined。
3.【参考答案】将as改为Though。
【参考译文】 尽管皇家马德里队的历史可追溯到1902年索西达德马里足球俱乐部队成立之时,但是直到1920年,俱乐部才被允许在其名字之前 冠以“皇家”二字。
【试题分析】 本题辨析连接词的误用。
【详细解答】 Real date back to 1920与it was not until 1920 that the club was granted permission to use the Realprefix之间的逻辑关系应是转折关系,而as的误用导致了关系的混乱。改为表示转折的Though/Although。
4.【参考答案】将when改为that。
【参考译文】 译文同上句。
【试题分析】 本题辨析连接词的误用。
【详细解答】 强调句与定语从句的区别主要有两点:引导词与引导词前后的句子的结构。强调句的连词除了强调人可以是who 以外,都用that。另外一点,强调句前半部分是“It is…”,句意不完整,that后面的部分也不完整,只有将It is …that中间的成分移到后面才完整。本句是强调句,而不是定语从句,故when属误用,须将when改为that。5.【参考答案】将on改为for。
【参考译文】 购买体育场地皮花去300万比赛塔,建造费用总共达3800万比赛塔。
【试题分析】 本题辨析介词的误用。
【详细解答】 介词的作用在英语中的作用是不容忽视的,每一个介词都有其独特的用途。on除了表示时间,空间位置外,还可以表示“在……方面”,不表示花费多少钱。故句中on属误用,将之改为表示数目多少的介词“for”。
6.【参考答案】将staggered改为staggering。
【参考译文】 在当时,这是一笔令人惊愕的数目。
【试题分析】 本题辨析同源的形容词的误用。
【详细解答】 以“ed”结尾的形容词主语一般修饰人,表示“感到……的”,以“ing”结尾的形容词一般修饰非生命的“物”,表示“令人……的”,句中sum是staggered逻辑主语,故staggered属误用,将之改为staggering。
7.【参考答案】将proving改为proven。
【参考译文】 新建体育场的巨大耗资引起了许多传言,还说皇家马德里队曾接受过佛朗哥政府的资助,但从未得到证实。
【试题分析】 本题辨析做状语时,分词的误用。
【详细解答】 never proving是主句The cost of the new stadium led to claims的分词状语,proving的逻辑主语是that Real had received financial aid from General Franco’s government,在关系上与proven属被动,因此,proving属误用,改为proven。
8.【参考答案】将won改为winning。
【参考译文】 在伯纳贝乌的资助下,皇家马德里最终成为最优秀的一支俱乐部足球队,在1956年至1960年期间,这支球队五连冠夺得欧洲足球冠军杯。
【试题分析】 本题辨析分词在作状语时的误用。
【详细解答】 由won开始的状语短语,逻辑主语是Real Madrid,主语和won的逻辑关系是主动的。won是误用,因此改为winning。
9.【参考答案】将This改为It。
【参考译文】这支首都著名足球俱乐部队被视为西班牙民族精神的象征,就像巴塞罗那足球俱乐部队是独立的加泰罗尼亚精神的标志一样,这绝不是巧合。
【试题分析】 本题辨析作形式主语时代词的误用。
【详细解答】 本句是长句子,真正的主语是that后面的部分。为了保持句子的平衡,将较长的主语放在后面,而将 it放在句首,做形式主语,是英语惯用的手段。而本句用this作形式主语是不合适的,故改为it。
10.【参考答案】将like改为as。
【参考译文】 译文同上句。
【试题分析】 本题辨析将介语用作连词的误用。
【详细解答】 在作“像……”这一意思时,like虽与as词意看似相似,但用法区别很大。like是介词,连接名词或代词,as是连词,连结句子,而FG Barcelona is a beacon for the independent Catalan spirit是个句子,故like属误用,应改为as。
Few football grounds boast a more prestigious
address than the Bernabeu, lies as it does on the 1. ____
Castellana,the threelining highway that runs through 2.____
the heart of Madrid.
As Real date back to 1902, when the Sociedad 3. ____

2008年6月英语六级考前30天备考冲刺策略

临近四级考试还有一个月的时间,不妨将该月平均划分三期,前10天为第一期,中间10天为第二期,最后10天为第三期(可按自身情况制定不同时间间隔,但确保三阶段)。之所以如此,是基于所谓的过程化管理理论,即将目标散化并合理置于各管理阶段中,以有效完成阶段性管理任务,从而实现最终目标。而且,从实际操作角度来说,对三个10天的分别操控,难度上大大低于对一个30天的操控,考生可以在充实有效地复习过程中不知不觉完成最后的备考直至冲刺。
那么这三期中,前期重点为阅读和听力,中期重点为写作(含翻译)和听力。最后一期为全套模拟题训练。之所以如此安排,是因对阅读和写作而言,前者目标更难达至,故置前,只因阅读作为一种输入过程,不由己身,视输入对象而有不同心理感触和答题反应;而写作,作为一种输出过程,由己而发,得分高低跟内心句型储存量成正比,在模版盛行的今天,倒是可以通过多背记一些普适性优秀句型,从而得分,不会毫无斩获。另外,这三期中听力是从始至终贯穿的,它除了起到良好的催眠作用外,每天坚持两个小时的精听和一个小时的泛听对提高听力成绩很有帮助,它最能证明坚持就是胜利的道理。精听可以往年真题或模拟题(甚或六级听力题目)为材料,并做题,重点是长对话和短文听力,泛听即找来一些新闻类(BBC/VOA/CRI)或者网络下载听力材料进行训练,无需做题。相信这样点面结合,坚持30天左右,会亲眼看到成效。
下面是具体的操作建议:
(1)前期----第一个10天期间,重点:阅读和听力。
上午:首先阅读然后听力。题目来源即是往年真题,若已做过,再快速做一遍,对于曾做错的题目进行重复回看,教训要吸取,痛楚要记恨,如:“沉着气地将四个选项看完后再做选择,不可轻易选择着急付出”,并将此类教训醒目地贴于每天必看之处,(如床头,镜前等等)。做完上述内容后若有时间,还可选择近几年的六级阅读进行训练。其实阅读过程最是学习过程,很多人通过备考,英语水平提高了,这其中,大量阅读题目的练习,功不可没。做题时要全神贯注,抓紧时间,自我营造考场气氛,不可拖沓没有管束,因为四级考试是限时考试,不仅要求正确度,还要求速度。无他,唯手熟而。另外,在阅读中遇见的好句型,尤其是那些读后令人微笑的句子不妨及时采集,通过背诵从而拥有它们。对于听力,前面已有所述。下午:做一篇作文。所以前期至少可以完成10篇作文,不过,可预见的是由于上午的辛劳,下午的写作可能已经无力而为,那么,晚上进行一篇吧。
上述过程,重复10天,试一下,一生也就这么一回。

"Culture shock" occurs as result of total immersion in a new culture.It happens to "people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad."Newcomers may be anxious because they do not speak the language,know the customs,or understand people's behavior in daily life.The visitor finds that "yes" may not always mean "yes",that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship,or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes.The foreigner may be unsure as to when to shake hands,when to start conversations,or how to approach a stranger.The notion of "culture shock" helps explain feelings of bewilderment and disorientation.Language problems do not account for all the frustrations that people feel.When one is deprived of everything that was once familiar,such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register for university classes,or knowing how to make friends,difficulties in coping whth the new society may arise.
"...when an individual enters a strange culture,he or she is like fish out of water."Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to and feel alienated from the native members of the culture.When this happens visitors may want to reject everything about the new environment and may glorify and exaggerate the positive aspects of their own culture.Conversely visitors may scorn their native country by rejecting its values and instead choosing to identify with(if only temporatily)the value of the new country.This may occur as an attempt to over-identify with the new culture in order to be accepted by the people in it.

The Colonel ask Ashenden a good many questions and then suggested that he had particular qualifications for the Secret Service. Ashenden knew several European languages and the fact that he was a writer provided excellent cover: on the pretext that he was writing a book he could, without attracting attention, visit any neutral country.
It was while they were discussing this point that the Colonel said,"You know you might get material that would be very useful to you in your work. I'll tell you an incident that occurred only recently. Very dramatic. A foreign government minister went down to a Mediterranean resort to fecover from a cold and he had some very important documents with him that he kept in a despatchcase.
"A day or two after he arrived, he picked up a blonde at some restaurant or other, and he got very friendly with her. He took her back to his hotel, and when he came to himself in the morning the lady and the despatch-case had disappeared. They had one or two drinks up in his room and his theory is that when his back was turned the woman slipped a drug in his glass."
"Do you mean to say that happened the other day?"said Ashenden wearily.
"The week before last."
"Impossible,"cried Ashenden. "Why, we've been putting that incident on the stage for sixty years, we've written it in a thousand novels. Do you mean to say that life has only just caught up with us?"
"Well, I can vouch for the truth of the story." said the Colonel, "And believe me, the government concerned has been put to no end of trouble by the loss of the documents."
"Well sir, if you can't do better than that in the Secret Service," sighed Ashenden, "that I'm afraid that as a source of inspiration to the writer of fiction, it's washout."
