新东方雅思听力1000词 篇6

以下是我根据四六级高频考点词汇整理出来的，在听力中特别容易产生听觉理解或听写方面错误的词汇，可以说是四六级考试高频词中，就听力单项考试而言，特别需要注意和掌握的重点词汇。对于其他英语学习者，这些词汇同样值得积累。

给大家介绍一下我是如何总结出这些词汇的：

我从学生时代至今，一直保留着做听力练习的习惯。尤其是接触了口译工作以后，我才真正深刻的感受到，因为我们身处国内，身边缺乏一个天天使用英语的生活环境，所以要维持英语的高水平一定要靠经常练习。尤其是与与口译最为密切相关的英语听说能力，要靠有针对性的训练，不断地巩固，才能保持状态。我经常练习的有：在BBC，FOX NEWS, BLOOMBERG等知名英语网站上观看视频新闻，或者收听音频新闻，尝试边听便复述内容，或者边听边在心中尝试着译成中文（一种类似同声传译的训练方法，不过形式比较随意）；在书店购买VOA,CNN,BBC新闻合集，选择长度、题材合适的新闻听力材料进行逐句听写、逐段听写及复述；即兴选取一篇英语文章，用类似VOA标准新闻播报的语速即兴朗读，保证每一分钟内口误三次以下算基本过关，等等。总之，练习得多了，就能了解有哪些属于中国人听英语、使用英语时容易出错的词汇，再加上在新东方当老师的经验，总结出了以下容易混淆拼错的单词。以下单词容易错误的常见原因集中在四方面：

第一，发音非常接近，甚至完全相同，容易导致在被动接受语音信息的时候（也就是听听力材料的时候）发生理解误差。如1）quite 相当quiet 安静地。

第二，有些词汇，不仅互相之间发音相似或相同，拼写也很接近，容易在练习听写的时候把单词写错。如5)dairy 牛奶厂 diary 日记，以及89)statue 塑像 statute 法令 stature 身长 status 地位

第三，对于一些发音特殊的词汇，考生总是记不住其正确发音，比如suite这个单词，很多考生容易把它的发音错误地理解为与suit这个单词相同，因而在听力中发生理解错误。

第四，有些单词，发音，拼写都接近，而且在含义用法上也有一些联系或雷同之处，因此在听力理解时难度极大，如86)extend 延伸（时间或长度）extent 长度

给各位上四六级培训班的同学布置个小作业啦——就算你是在不想背那厚厚一本词汇书，也请你一定要把这篇文章里我总结的这些词汇熟练掌握，这样以来，听力部分的词汇算是过关了，应付四六级考试不会有太大问题了。更重要的是，希望大家能够了解上述训练及总结方法，在自己的学习过程中，根据这样的思路不断积累更多英语学习素材。

1)quite 相当 quiet 安静地

2)affect v 影响, 假装 effect n 结果, 影响

3)adapt 适应 adopt 采用 adept 内行

4)angel 天使 angle 角度

6)contend 奋斗, 斗争 content 内容, 满足的 context 上下文 contest 竞争, 比赛

7)principal 校长, 主要的 principle 原则

10)pat 轻拍 tap 轻打 slap 掌击 rap 敲，打

新东方雅思听力1000词 篇7

在雅思考试中取得了听力8.5分，阅读9分满分成绩的王若颜是一个乖巧可爱的小女孩，现在就读于东北财经大学国际商学院大学二年级。

由于若颜的专业是和国外院校的合作项目，出国留学将是她大学四年级时必定会踏上的道路。位于澳洲的合作院校要求学生雅思总分需要达到6分，而单科方面则要求写作和口语不低于6分。为了更好的应对雅思考试，若颜通过网上报名，参加了北京新东方暑期雅思住宿班的课程学习。在这个大集体里，她认识了不少来自全国各地的朋友。

由于是大班，老师不可能做到和每一个同学都有互动，于是就会很容易出现同学走神的情况。若颜的几位老师却各有个的对应方法，给沉寂的课堂带来了阵阵笑声。

比如让同学们印象深刻的耿耿老师，除了阅读方面的知识点，他还会给大家讲一些澳洲的文化和自己在吉百利公司工作的个人经历，让同学们在走出国门之前就对国外的风土人情有所了解。

通过系统的学习，若颜对雅思考试题型和应对不同科目的技巧有了全面的了解。再加上自己原本就比较优秀的英语功底，3个月的复习进行得很顺利。在这里她要特别与我们分享如何提高词汇量的技巧。

若颜使用的词汇书是著名的老俞版“红宝书"、”。整个单词复习过程可以分为三个阶段，每个阶段为3周时间。第一阶段，她把红宝书整体过了一遍，并把其中所有的生词都做了一个总结。用3周时间专攻这些生词。第二阶段的三周时间，则要做到生词、熟词一起记，不但温习了前一阶段的复习结果，更为自己已具备的词汇量做好巩固工作。第三阶段是若颜反复强调要推荐给广大考生朋友的重要阶段。在这最后的三周里则要把单词和红宝书上列出的例句一起记。

有了句子做支撑，不但单词更加好记了，还把但词的用法也铭记于心，杜绝了只会背单词却不会使用的情况。然而单词不经常使用时会流失的，所以经常复习也是非常关键的。

毕竟我们的目标不仅仅是通过考试这么简单，在以后的工作生活中也会很有用。红宝书真是一劳永逸的好宝贝啊。

谈到自己的弱势环节，若颜提起了写作。其实在写作的复习过程中还是下了不少功夫的，基本上能够做到每两天都动笔写一篇文章。而且在练习系的过程中会发现，写熟了，就会慢慢突破老师给的固定写作模式了。在条件允许的情况下，可以请周围写作比较优秀的同学帮我们批改一下自己的作文，因为有的问题自己写了自己查是看不出来的。写作是硬功夫，不是一朝一夕就能够有很大进步的。但是我们只要坚持不懈，多读多练，写作分数得提高便指日可待。

最后，王若颜同学想对广大考生朋友说：“只要我们能梦想的，我们就能实现！”很简单也很朴实，我们只要满怀相信，相信只要努力肯定会有回报的。

2016年5月大学英语六级考试模拟题一

Part I Writing

As is shown in the picture, a boy is telling a girl his experience in making friends.He, like many of modern people, tends to use social networking websites to meet new friends.They love the time they spend with their new acquaintances on the Internet.In my opinion, it‟s total madness for people to do that.The use of social networking websites in cultivating friendship influences our life in a bad way.Firstly, the use of social networking websites may undermine our interpersonal skills in dealing with people in our real life.Secondly, interacting with new friends online may estrange us instead of drawing us closer, though often such communication does offer some fun.Lastly, friendship got by means of those websites may not last long, which may render us a feeling of great loss afterwards.In my opinion, it‟s time we took action to cultivate real friendship for our own benefit.For one thing, we should adopt a correct attitude towards friendship, which involves substantial help with our study or work in daily life, not in the virtual world.For another, we should step aside from the shining pictures, video clips, or voice messages passed to and fro via the websites, and actually meet new friends in person to have a chance to savor the sweetness friends can bring us.Part II Listening Comprehension

Section A Directions: In this section, you will hear two long conversations.At the end of each conversation, you will hear some questions.Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C)and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1with a single line through the centre.Conversation One

W: Hello, Professor Smith.M: Yes, Lily, any problem with the writing assignment? W: Yes.I‟m about to write my research paper summary.I‟m confused about the difference between a research paper and a research paper summary.M: I have a questions, have you finished writing your research paper? W: Not yet, I‟m in the middle of it.M: Then, it‟s advisable for you to wait after you finish your report.W: Why can‟t I do these two at the same time? M: No, you can‟t.To write a summary, you should first of all need to finish your report.Then, review your main ideas, and condense them into a short document.W: I see.The best way to begin writing the research summary is by reviewing my report.M: Yes.That‟s right.W: It seems I‟d better write my report at a faster speed.M: Ok.And, as you said just now, you don‟t know the difference between the report and the summary, right? W: Yes, I do.As I understand, they both write about the same thing.The difference is their length, one is longer and the other is a little bit shorter.M: Yes, you can say that again.Let‟s talk about their differences in class at a later time.But, in structure, they‟re similar.W: Similar? I know, for a research paper, it has a beginning, a middle and an end.M: Yes, so has the report summary.The beginning should introduce the topic and how you plan to address it.The middle of the summary will provide the main points you use to support your argument.The end of the document should summarize the conclusions your paper reaches.W: It seems to be so complex and so hard.M: You‟ll be better off if you keep two things in mind.One is to be concise, and the other is not to use too complicated terms.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1.When is the right time to write a report summary? 2.How‟s Lily‟s research paper going for now? 3.What does the middle of a research paper summary write about? 4.What does the professor suggest Lily do at the end of the conversation?

Conversation Two

W: This is Lucy Bowen.I‟m talking with Professor Jimmy Whitworth, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.Welcome, Professor!M: It‟s my honor to be here, and talk about a topic which may make the audience a little bit comfortable or horrible.That is, Ebola, which is spreading mostly in African countries.But, according to the news, more than 17,000 people in West Africa have survived Ebola infection.Sadly, doctors from the US National Institute of Health said, most of them will have long-lasting health problems.W: They have survived Ebola.That‟s very lucky.But, again, they have to feel its potential challenges.M: Yes, you can say that again.The related study shows that survivors in Liberia had developed body weakness, memory loss and depressive symptoms in 6 months after leaving hospital.W: So, in a way, Ebola hasn‟t gone away from these people.M: Yes.When people had memory loss, it tended to affect their daily living, for example, they couldn‟t return to school or normal jobs, and some people may have terrible sleeping problems, regular headaches, and even some patients are “actively suicidal”.W: Is there any available ways to cure these problems? M: Well, we‟re only trying to figure out what some of these problems are physical or mental.However, there‟s still much to learn about Ebola‟s other potential consequences, and there will be a long way to go before effective ways are found to cure them.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5.What were the speakers talking about?

6.How many patients survive Ebola infection in West Africa? 7.What symptoms did survivors in Liberia develop after leaving hospital? 8.What problems does memory loss cause for Ebola survivors?

5.A 6.C 7.B 8.C

Section B Directions: In this section, you will hear two passages.At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions.Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once.After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C)and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage One

Sports enthusiasts at every level are clearly aware that the „mental‟ part of performance can be just as important as the physical.Good performance in gymnastics is often said to 90% mental and 10% physical.Other sports see „hidden‟ factors, such as confidence and a „cool‟ head under pressure, make up more than 50% of success.Many will talk about „being in the zone‟ when they perform at their peak.Olympic 100-metre gold medalist Linford Christie described his focus on the starting line as being like looking down a long, straight tune.His ability to blank out other competitors, the roar of the crowd, gave him those extra advantages over his rivals.In sport, psychology matters—and at every level.If you go onto the tennis court telling yourself that you‟ve never beaten Joe before and that you‟re not going to beat him today, then the result is very predictable.So, optimism boosts sporting performance, both at team and individual levels.Research into baseball and basketball teams in the USA revealed that teams have their own styles.The style used by teams after a defeat or when under pressure in the last few minutes of a game will determine future performance, regardless of the quality of the team.Those who are optimistic in the face of defeat are more likely to be successful in their next game;those who explain failures negatively will perform more poorly.Research into swimmers revealed that the same trend holds for individual athletes.Quite simply, when under pressure optimistic sportsmen and women try harder—and they recover from defeat more quickly.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.9.How much will confidence account for in gymnasts‟ success? 10.How did Linford Christie gain extra advantages over his rivals? 11.How can optimism help boost performance in sports?

9.C 10.B 11.C

Passage Two

Today, let‟s learn something about Gettysburg National Military Park, which was built in memory of the Battle of Gettysburg.Fought over the first three days of July 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg was one of the most crucial battles of the Civil War.The battle brought disaster to the residents of Gettysburg.Every farm field or garden was a graveyard.Churches, public buildings and even private homes were hospitals, filled with wounded soldiers.By January 1864, the last patients were gone as were the surgeons, guards, nurses, tents and cookhouses.Only a temporary cemetery on the hillside remained as a testament to the courageous battle to save lives that took place at Camp Letterman.Prominent Gettysburg residents became concerned with the poor condition of soldiers‟ graves scattered over the battlefield and at hospital sites, and pleaded with Pennsylvania Governor Andrew Curtin for state support to purchase a portion of the battlefield to be set aside as a final resting place for the defenders of the Union cause.In 1864, a group of concerned citizens established the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association whose purpose was to preserve portions of the battlefield as a memorial to the Union Army that fought here.A Federally-appointed commission of Civil War veterans oversaw the park‟s development as a memorial to both armies by identifying and marking the lines of battle.Administration of the park was transferred to the Department of the Interior, National Park Service in 1933, which continues in its mission to protect, preserve and interpret the Battle of Gettysburg and the Gettysburg Address to park visitors.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.12.What did the Civil War bring to the local people in Gettysburg? 13.Who started the campaign for the protection of soldier graves? 14.When was the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association established? 15.What was the responsibility of the veteran commission in building the park?

12.B 13.B 14.A 15.C

Section C Directions: In this section, you will hear recordings of lectures or talks followed by some questions.The recordings will be played only once.After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C)and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.Since the Industrial Revolution, natural habitats have been destroyed, and environments have been polluted, causing great harm to human beings, such as diseases in both humans and many other species of animals.In today‟s lesson, I will talk about land pollution, the sources of the pollution, its consequences and a few things we can do to prevent further pollution and protect our environment.To begin with, let‟s expand a little bit on the question, what is land pollution? Land pollution is the destruction of the earth‟s land surfaces, often directly or indirectly as a result of man‟s activities and their misuse of land resources.It occurs when waste is not dealt with properly, or can occur when humans throw chemicals onto the soil.Mining activities have also contributed to the worsening of the earth‟s surface.Human actions have caused many large areas of land to lose or reduce their capacity to support life forms.This is known as land degradation.Note that land degradation can result from many factors, and land pollution is only one of them.With regard to different sources of land pollution, many publications group them differently.Let us see these four main sources: Firstly, solid waste is the first source of land pollution.Solid waste includes all the various kinds of rubbish we make at home, school, hospitals, markets and workplaces.Things like paper, plastic containers, bottles, cans, food and even used cars and broken electronic goods, broken furniture and hospital waste are all examples of solid waste.Some of these can be easily coped with or decay into organic matter.Examples include food droppings, paper products as well as plants like grass and tree branches.However, others are not environment friendly, and they include plastics, metals and aluminum cans, broken computer and car parts.Because these do not easily decay, they pile up in places where all the city‟s rubbish are sent and stored, where they stay for thousands of years.These bring great harm to the land and people around it.The second source is the use of pesticides and fertilizers.Many farming activities engage in the application of fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides for higher crop yield.This is good because we get more food, but can you think of what happens to the chemicals that end up on the crops and soils? Sometimes, insects and small animals are killed and bigger animals that eat tiny animals(as in food chains)are also harmed.Finally, the chemicals may be washed down as it rains and over time, they end up in the water, causing water pollution.The third source is……

Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22.Almost 70 million children across the world are prevented from going to school each day, a study published today reveals.Those living in north-eastern Africa are the least likely to receive a good education—or any education at all, an umbrella body of charities and teaching unions known as the Global Campaign for Education has found.Somalia ranks the world‟s poorest countries according to their education systems.It has the least functional system in the world with just 10% of children going to primary school, while Eritrea is second worst.Haiti, Comoros and Ethiopia are in the similar situation.The report‟s authors, from charities including Plan and ActionAid, measured the likelihood of children attending primary school, a country‟s political will to improve its education system, and the quality of its schools to create the rankings.The study—Back to School? The Worst Places in the World—warns that attempts to ensure all children can attend school are under severe threat.By 2015, there will be more children out of school than there are today, unless the richest countries dramatically increase the aid they give to the poorest nations, the authors argue.“Poor countries are facing a worsening situation, as severe and deepening pressure from the economic downturn caused by the crisis of the rich world‟s banking system bites on their budgets,” David Archer, one of the authors from ActionAid says.Some £2.9bn is expected to be lost to education budgets in sub-Saharan Africa because of the economic crisis, he warns.Kenya, which is rated in the 50 worst countries for education, delayed plans to provide a free primary school education to 8.3 million children in September.The global economic crisis was one reason given for this.Girls are far less likely to attend school than boys in many of the world‟s poorest countries, the authors have found.In Malawi, of those that enroll, 22.3% of boys complete primary compared to 13.8% of girls.In rural Burkina Faso, 61% of girls are married by the age of 18 and over 85% never get to see the inside of a secondary school.Most rich countries have failed to keep their promises to help poor countries improve their education systems, according to the study.While the UK is active in aiding those countries, along with the Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland and Ireland, others—such as Greece, Austria, Italy and Germany—are not giving nearly as much as they should.20.What is said about Somalia? 21.What should be done to prevent more children dropping out of school by 2015? 22.What does the study say about girls in the world‟s poorest countries?

Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25.Probably the best known nutrition fact about iron is that meats—particularly red meats—are rich in iron.While this is true, it is also true that a number of plant foods are also rich in iron.It may come as a surprise that researchers have found that people eating plant-based diets eat as much or more iron as people who regularly rely on animal foods.And, you‟ll see that the recommended list of excellent iron sources is largely dominated by plant foods.Without question, more human health problems worldwide are caused by iron deficiency than by lack of any other nutrient.Less well known is the fact that excessive iron stores are also responsible for a large burden of illness worldwide.As such, iron is a very important nutrient to understand not only for researchers and nutritionists but everyone, since we need to be aware of finding the right iron balance from our foods.But, iron really plays a big role in health support.All of the tissues in our body need a near constant supply of oxygen to maintain life.We maintain this oxygen delivery by the red cells in our blood.These have an iron-containing protein called hemoglobin, which is a perfect transporter for oxygen, in that it both picks up and releases oxygen in an exact and targeted way.The average man has about 2 grams of iron in his blood cells at any given time while women have about 1.6 grams.If the dietary iron intake falls below daily needs and this storage amount goes down, the ability to tolerate bursts of exercise will deteriorate.The reduction in blood count related to having low iron stores is called anemia.In addition to the key role iron plays in transporting oxygen to tissues, it also is necessary to support proper metabolism for muscles and other active organs.Almost all of the cells in our body burn dietary calories to create energy through a process that requires iron.When iron stores get low, this process gets compromised, and generalized fatigue can occur.What does the speaker say about iron and health? 24.Why is iron important in health support? 25.What is the speaker mainly talking about in the passage?
