1. The Time of Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln was the 16 th president of the United States of America. He is remembered
for many things, including his log-cabin home, his absurd looking clothing accessory,a top-hat, but Lincoln?s absolute most important contribution to America?s history was to abolish slavery, a very hard task to accomplish at that time. In the middle of the 19 th century, America was split by an abstract border. The country was cut into two parts: the North and the South. There were an abundance of differences which caused this abnormal separation. For instance, the North held all
of the Universities and Military Academies whereas in the South, access to such institutions was limited. Also, Northerners spoke standard American English while Southerners spoke with a Southern accent. But the largest difference that abound between the North and the South at that time was slavery and all of the aspects that accompanied it.
The North thought that the South should abandon slavery because mint most cases, slaves faced daily abuse from their owners. Most Northerners tried to abide by the rule that “A ll men are created equal.”T hese reasons largely account for the American Civil War. The Civil War was a long, brutal war with a very high casualty rate. Many young men from both the North and the South were killed on the battlefield; the death toll was also accelerated by the fact that small Army hospitals could not accommodate so many wounded soldiers.
The Civil War was filled with heroes on both sides of the battlefield. Names like U.S.Grant, General Sherman, and the acclaimed Southern General Robert E. Lee. All of these men fought bravely and made harrowing decisions on their own accord. But Lincoln is probably most often associated with his leadership of the country during this difficult period. He was a firm believer that slavery was wrong and he fought hard to stop it. In 1863, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation which legally granted freedom to all slaves living in America. But in 1865, Lincoln ?s life came to an abrupt ended while he was watching a play at Ford ?s Theater in Washington D.C. His death was not an accident; he was assassinated by a man named John Wilkes Booth.
Not long after Lincoln ?s death, the North defeated the South and the Civil War was ended. The South was no longer thought of as another country, but part of America. And all of the slaves living and working in the South were freed and absorbed into society.
2. Mike — a Story of Personal Change
Mike could hardly be described as your typical adolescent. He would casually acknowledge to his few friends that he liked to watch DVDs, although perhaps a more accurate description was that he was a DVD addict. Over the last six months, Mike had accumulated thousands of DVDs. When he was not at school, he had become accustomed to spending his time wandering the streets of the city, acquiring more and more films. Indeed, it became a joke that if asked for his address, he would give the address of the DVD shop adjacent to our school since he spent so much time there.
Mike hated attending school. In his eyes, its only advantage was its location. During lessons,
he adopted a rather cool demeanor towards most of his classmates and was often accused of being aloof. All he seemed concerned about was adding to his DVD collection. In truth, Mike had not adapted to life at the school very well. Perhaps he felt that he still needed adequate time to adjust
to a new environment although no one could work out why he harbored such an acute feeling of
self-pity.
As someone who also adores watching films, I had slowly become acquainted with Mike. I had often seen him in the DVD shop which adjoined our school, yet it took a long time before he responded to my advances of friendship. Maybe it was an exaggeration to say we were actually friends, although he would at least acknowledge my presence with a cursory nod of the head when he saw me.
One day, I was asked to administrate our school?s new film club. I was a little wary about asking Mike to help me select suitable films in case he said no. however, I needn?t have worried. Mike ?s face lit up as he scrutinized a poster I had just adhered to the wall. The poster advertised the grand opening of the Film Club the following week. ,Hey David, ? he muttered excitedly, ,I want to be involved with that. ?
The change in Mike ?s behavior over the next month was dramatic. I have no doubt that it was the Film Club which activated the turnaround. Once a boy who spent most of his time sulking, Mike was now a model student. Before each film was shown, he would give a very informative speech about the director and main actors. Everyone was impressed by his knowledge and passion for films and he suddenly became extremely popular at school.
3. Salt
Now that Billy ?s parents were a little more affluent, the family had agreed that they could a cottage on the out skirts of town. Although the cottage was somewhat old-fashioned, the agent who rented the place to them was keen to advocate that they should not install air-conditioning as they could air-condition the place by opening the skylights. The day that they moved, the air was heavy with the advent of spring, a sense of renewal accompanied them along the way; Billy and
the old dog Rufus watched the amazing aerial gymnastics of the swallows out of the car window, browsing through the family album every now and then. When they arrived, a group of men were unloading the van. Billy thought looking around the new surroundings should be placed high on their agenda, so he whistled to Rufus and they set off on an adventure. They found a small footpath, Rufus showing his excitement and his affection for Billy by panting and wagging his tail. Billy was at an age when he could still feel a sense of aesthetic excitement at the beauty of nature. The adverse effects of those years in the city seemed to vanish as he walked, and with Rufus as his affiliate he felt invincible. However, he had reckoned without Rufus. They rounded a bend in the path and suddenly, in the next field, they saw sheep. Rufus knew a good game when he saw one, he ran straight into the field, baking aggressively. Just then, a man in green boots stepped out and in an equally aggressive manner started to shout at Rufus to get out of the field. With a sense of alarm, Billy realized that the man was carrying a shotgun and he saw him level it and take aim at Rufus.
“P lease don?t shoot ”, yelled Billy, but this seemed to aggravate the man still more. The gun went off and Rufus howled in agony. He ran helter-skelter back to Billy with his tail between his legs. The man strode over to Billy.
“T hose sheep are pregnant ”, the man said, angrily. “I f you agitate them they can lose their lambs. I will affirm my right to kill any dog that chases them. ”
“I agree”, said Billy. “A nd I?m sorry, please; help me get Rufus to a vet! ”
“I don ?t think your dog will need a vet this time ”, said them man, “t he gun was only loaded with salt. But next time, keep him on a lead, okay? ”
4. Freshman Year
I was born in a small town, up in the mountains. Because of the high altitude, few people lived there. I was always amid my neighbors and friends, people I had known for all of my life. When I was in my hometown, I felt like those days would last forever. But the days went by quickly, and soon I found myself packing my bags for college. I was full of ambition, and had applied to go to university in a big city.
When I first got to my university, I was on the alert for everything. I felt very much alone without my family and friends. I was like an alien arriving on a new planet. I felt like an ambassador from another world. Once classes started, things were better. I was busier, because I had to allocate most of my time to studying. I wanted to work hard, and did not allow my self to go to a large amount of parties. I wanted to find an alternate social life that would let me have fun, without always drinking alcohol, like some university students do. Many people allege that this is why some students get bad grades their first year at university.
Because I felt very ambiguous about what I wanted to study, I took many different classes. I tried many different things, but still hadn?t found the perfect match for me. This made me feel even more lost at school, and I knew I had to find a way to amend things. In order to make new friends, and alleviate my loneliness, I joined the drama club at my school. It was there I met my first ally. The president of the drama club was an older student, named Betty. She was quite amiable, and helped give me advice about school. She helped me to alter my schedule so that I had the best classes.
Soon our drama club put on its first show. It was a comedy, full of jokes to amuse the audience. My parents and friends even drove out to watch me. We were only amateur actors, but I think we did a good job. After the show, my father said, “S arah, you amaze me, I didn ?t know you were so good at acting!”such ample praise made me very proud. That was when I realized what I wanted to be, an actress.
5. Story of the Vikings
Jerry had been interested in ancient history since he was a little child. Every night before going to bed, his grandfather would tell him stories of great civilizations like the Romans, the Vikings, the Incas and many others. These short anecdotes and stories always involved great kings and leaders, great wars and battles, and great heroes and foes. However, a story that had anything to do with the fierce Vikings was always Jerry ?s favorite. He was most interested in these stories because his grandfather had analyzedtheir family tree and discovered that the family?s ancestors were actually Vikings.
Every day at school, Jerry would wonder what story his grandfather would tell him that night.. He was always anxious to come home so that he could see his grandfather and hear the next story. Apart from the action of each story, Jerry?s grandfather also tried to teach Jerry a life-lesson that he could apply in his life. Jerry?s grandfather often accomplished this by using analogies to compare Jerry?s life with some thing from that day?s story. The story that Jerry enjoyed the most was about an annual fishing trip that the Vikings made each year on a certain anniversary. in this story, the captain of a large Viking ship decided to set sail without bringing their large, heavy anchor because they did not anticipate the trip taking a long time and they wanted more room for all of the fish too because the Vikings had a strong appetite for fish.
Some of the Vikings on the ship were appalled at the decision of not bringing an anchor because of the apparent danger of not bringing one. They thought the ship was anything but safe. These men appealed to the captain of the ship and one man even wrote an anonymous letter to the king of the Vikings asking that an anchor be put on the ship. But the captain of the ship announced that they were leaving the next day. This answer annoyed several of the Viking crew, but they listed to their captain and set sail.
Not long after setting sail, the Viking ship encountered a large storm. The ship was being badly damaged and the captain felt anguish because they needed the large anchor at this moment. Soon after the storm ended,
the captain apologized to his crew for not listening to them and promised to buy all of them a bottle of beer when they returned home. Although the crew of the ship was still wet and tired from the storm, they applauded when they heard the captain apologize.
6. The Young Police Chief
Jim had been appointed as the police chief of his local division —an appointment that he took very seriously as he secretly aspired to ascend to become the leader of the entire city ?s police department. His promotion had not met with the approval of everyone within the department, because although he was an apt leader who did not ask too much of his men, many did not appreciate his somewhat arrogant methods when dealing with the senior members of the police force. As one of the youngest police chiefs ever, his promotion was considered by many of the older policemen an assault on the way thing had always been done, and they were very apprehensive at an array of new programs that Jim had installed within the department. They consideredhim to be an outsider who had come ashore without spending an appropriate amount of time on the police force before being promoted.
Sal, one of the oldest members of the force, took Jim aside to ascertain whether Jim was aware that there might be problems ahead.“I t ?s not that we don?t approve of the job that you are doing”, Sal said, “b ut
your promotion at such a young age has aroused the curiosity of what if is that makes you deserving of such a position. We need time to appraise your performance”.Jim was a very articulate young man, and there was nothing artificial about him. He decided to speak to all of the men as a group before any more problems could arise.“I understand your concerns, but I assure you that the commissioner?s decision to appoint me as your leader was not an arbitrary one”, Jim said confidently to the group. “I am not ashamed of my young age, and I hope that you will give me time to prove to you that I am worthy of being your police chief. ”at that very moment, the sound of gunfire was heard outside as an assault began on the bank across the stree—t the criminal had very foolishly chosen to approach a bank very close to a police station. Jim was the first policeman to run outside and approach the gunman. His apt ability in dealing with such a dangerous situation was apparent to everyone. Within approximately two minutes, he had arrestedthe bank robber. Jim had not only prevented a crime, but he had also earned the respect and appreciation for his fellow officers, who now felt ashamed that had ever questioned his leadership abilities.
7. Accident on Elm Street
The junction between Elm Street and Beech Street was an accident black spot. It was easy to assume that no one would be coming the other way, and if a driver was not attentive enough he could easily come to grief. People attributed this to the fact that children would often assemble at the junction, making it hard for drivers to assessthe traffic situation. Local residents would often assert that the only way to make the junction safe would be to augment the poorly lit stop signs with a set of lights, or at the very least, to assign a lollipop person to the junction at the times when children were going to and from school.
The local police were sympathetic to these requests,but to no avail. They claimed they lacked the authority to install a set of lights. Things had been tight since the previous year?s local government audit, and funds were unlikely to be forthcoming. However, they would, when asked, frequently assure the questioner that they hoped the government would soon augment their budget and allow them increased autonomy in making financial decisions, in which case dealing with the Elm Street junction would be a top priority. Many people pointed out that simply to wait for the government to act was pointless, that maybe a set of traffic lights could be purchased cheaply in an auction, or that a lollipop person, besides making the junction safer for the children, would cheer the place up and be an authentic asset to the community. But it seemed that for
ordinary people to suggest improvements to their own community merely served to astonish the police.
The matter was settled in a rather unlikely fashion. At the beginning of March a collision occurred between the Chief of Police and the auxiliary fire service chief who was speeding to attend a fire. The Chief
of Police saw the accident coming and sounded his horn to give aural warning of his approach, but the auxiliary fir service chief was already attempting to avoid a small boy and was unable to assimilate the warning signals in time. The auxiliary fire service chief and his associate, who was in the back seat, were unhurt. The chief of police, however, was slightly concussed. he got out of his vehicle and staggered around with a slightly bemused expression on his face, as though he was about to attain nirvana, after which he spent twenty minutes trying to attach a parking ticket to the hole where the fireman?s windscreen had been.
81. The Missing Cat
Christina and Patrick baker stood outside their empty house. They watched the moving company work, packing the last cardboard boxes in the large truck. They were ready to go, but their cat Nutty was nowhere to be found. Nutty had decided to withdraw and had hidden himself
in the woods behind his owner ?s house. Now it was time to go, and his owner were beginning to wonder where he was. The removal company wasn ?t willing to wait any more, so Christina and Patrick got into the truck. Making a decision that would wrench their hearts, they left their cat behind.
Their new house, across the town from their old house, was a lot beautiful. But Christina and Patrick were not happy. Nutty was worth a lot to them, they missed him greatly. Christina had given the cat as a present to Patrick on their first Christmas together. That day they laughed and laughed watching the small bundle of fur wrap himself up in a bit of wire that he had got from
their Christmas wreath . He had wound himself up while wrestling with the wire, and was now unable to move, and were beginning to worship Nutty, and the joy he brought to them.
Unable to withstand a life without their favorite friend, the couple made a plan. They sat down to write a flyer. They wrote about their missing cat, and taped a photo of Nutty to the flyer. Then they went to xerox copies of the flyer. They drove back to their old neighborhood, and stuck
the flyers up on telephone poles and in the local store.
Sadly, the flyer did not yield the results they had been looking for. Not one single witness stepped forward to offer a word of information about their cat. However, a few days later they were outside of their new house when they heard a strange sound. They turned around and saw Nutty running towards them meowing! Somehow Nutty had followed their zigzag path, across every major zone of the city, and made it to their home. Christina and Patrick embraced their cat with zeal. Of course the cat was a wreck due to the journey. Someone or something had wounded him. He looked wretched, but they loved every wrinkle. They praised the cat for his bravery
and wit. They hadn ?t found him, but he had found them!
英语的词汇 英语是一种国际性的语言。把英语用作第一语言的国家除了英语和美国以外，还有爱尔兰共和国、澳大利亚、新西兰、加拿大、南非等国，使用人数有三亿四千万；把英语用作第二语言的国家（即不是本族语，但为所在国通用语）的国家有印度、巴基斯坦、尼泊尔、锡金、缅甸、新加坡、津巴布韦、尼日利亚、加纳、纳米比亚、牙买加、百慕大、马来西亚等许多国家。至于把英语作为外语使用的国家更是普及全球，英语成语世界上使用人数最多的语言之一（仅次于汉语），使用人数达七亿五千万。世界上一半以上的报纸和科技刊物是用英语出版的，世界上计算机储存的信息有80%以英语为媒介，用英语书写的信件占世界书信总量的四分之三，用英语广播的电台占五分之三。由于英语的使用广泛，世界各地和各个领域使用的词汇的差异巨大，必然使英语的词汇量特别大。 《牛津英语词典》（Oxford English Dictionary）1928年第一版收词414,829个，1989年第二版收词超过500,000个。尽管《牛津英语词典》是收录英语单词最多的词典，但是它也无法把英语里所有的单词都收集在内。如果加上无数学科的专门术语和俚语、方言、新词，英语的词汇远远超过200万个，并以每年至少850个新词的速度增加，是世界上现存的5,000多种语言中词汇最丰富的语言之一。与英语相比较，欧洲其他语言的词汇远不如英语丰富，例如德语只有185,000 个词，法语只有100,000个词。同时，英语的词汇变化日新月异，1996年12月16日美国《时代周刊》（Times）刊登了一段用时髦用语组成的文字：Oh, pulleeze. Don't even think about telling me. I hate when that happens. Get over it. These phrases from hell are history, I'II be their worst nightmare, Yeah, right. As if. Hel-lo-on!试问，有几个中国的英语学者能说出这些用法的确切来源和实际含义呢？但是，这样的用词方式是今天的美国人司空见惯的。又有几个中国的英语学者知道"自以为是的人"是philodox，"讨厌抽烟的人"是miscapniat，"专门在吃饭的时候来串门的人"是smellfeast或者 lickdish呢？没有一个人能够掌握所有的单词。 语言学家把英语里所有的单词，也就是英语的整个词汇叫做英语的"词库"（lexis 或lexicon）。英语语言学家威尔金斯（D. Wilkins）说过，"没有语法，人们可以表达的事物寥寥无几；而没有词汇，人们则无法表达任何事物。"学习英语词汇是学习英语的重要组成部分，而英语的词汇如此浩瀚，一个人想用一生的时间来记住所有的词汇也是不可能的。其实，一个人的词汇量总是有限的。据某位词典学家统计，莎士比亚大约掌握 24,000个词，弥尔顿大约掌握16,000个词。据说，丘吉尔能使用90,000个词，艾略特以有使用100,000个词，拉丁语《圣经》用了 5,469个词，希伯莱语《圣经》用了5,642个词。至于中文，也有人做过类似的统计，老舍的名著《骆驼样子》全书107,360字，只用了2,413 个不同的单字。 从上面两方面的数字可以看出，英语的词汇尽管浩瀚，但是每个人需要掌握的数量是有限的，所以，学习英语词汇并不是高不可攀的事情。语言学家们发现过一个有趣的事实：学会英语最常用的1,000个词，就能理解任何一篇规范文字的80.5%的内容；学会常用的2,000个词，就能理解89%左右的内容；学会常用的3,000个词，就能理解93%左右的内容；学会常用的4,000个词，就能理解95%左右的内容（美国大学对外国学生的英语要求是掌握 4,000词）；学会常用的5,000个词，就能理解97%左右的内容。在这个事实的启示下，1930年，英语语言学家奥格登（C. K. Ogden）的850个词的《基础英语》词表问世，《基础英

1、合适的单词书 考研英语考试大纲要求我们学习的单词量是5500个词汇，因此背单词是一个浩大的工程，选择自己比较喜欢的版本。换句话说，自己看起来比较舒服，不会感到很枯燥即可。目前单词书的形式比较多的有两种，一种是顺序单词书，也就是单词书中的词汇是按照由A-Z排列，还有一种是乱序，也就是书中的词汇是无序的排列的。考生可以选择适合自己的单词书。而且作为在职人员，本身学习是时间就不是很充足，考生需要一边工作一边学习，所以考生可以下载背单词的软件，利用空闲时间去记忆单词，提高背单词的效率。 2、合理安排时间表 考生在复习的时候，一定要知道合适的计划表，按照时间安排，保证每天一定量的单词记忆，利用自己每天的空闲时间，节省出来进行背单词，可以采取一些方法。例如做做小纸条，每天把几个小纸条带到身上，在平时闲暇的时间都可以拿出来看看，到了晚上复习复习自己白天所看的词汇。这样经过日积月累就会发现自己的词汇量增多。考生一定要记得不能往后推，一定要按计划表去完成每天的任务量，不然你会越积越多的。复习的前期我们可以花费的时间多一些，每天的单词学习一小时，内容为地毯式扫盲复习;中期，每天的学习时间是半小时，内容为历年真题单词为主;后期的冲刺内骨，每天的学习时间为10分钟，内容为高频单词。 3、词根词缀记忆法 考生在记忆单词的时候，如果只是机械性的记忆、背诵。这样考生就觉得无趣，单词记忆效率也会下降。因此，考生在记忆单词的时候，可以使用词根词缀记忆法，词根词缀就像是记忆单词的指点，掌握一定数量的词根词缀，就可以举一反三，了解许多由它构成的单词，扩大词汇量。利用一些单词记忆小技巧，增加单词记忆的趣味性，提高记忆效率。 4、使用单词的软件 除了纸质版的单词书外，我们还可以通过各种单词学习软件来学习单词。给各位的建议是，以纸质版的单词书为主，辅之以单词学习软件。单词学习软件可以在零散的时间，比如吃饭的时候、睡觉之前，或者坐车的时候都可以用来记忆单词，提高学习效率。 5、利用历年真题 历年真题的考生备考中的重要参考资料，考生一定要充分利用历年真题，在做历年真题的时候，往往有很多词汇出现的频率不止一次，这些高频词汇需要考生重点对待。往往那些在真题中出现的高频词汇，也会有很大可能在这次考试中出现。因此考生记录下这些词汇，反复记忆。

考研英语单词：背完就忘，你需要关联 记忆 说到考研单词5500，几乎所有的同学都感到无力。首先从数量上会觉得是难以逾越的“高山”;其次是在一篇不到400字的考研阅读文章里，完全陌生的单词总有那么一些，对于四级没有过的学生可能是读到文章结束也依然云里雾里。好不容易看到几个认识的单词，却发现那些了然于胸的意思放在眼前的文章里是怎么看怎么不顺眼。为了考上心目中的学校，为了那个在远方的“她”或“她”，我们终于还是拿起那本曾被多次丢弃的“词汇书”，用尽所有的力气从头读到尾，结果睡了一觉发现，“因为单词，在那个地方，就算经常会去那里游荡，还是背完就忘。” 所以我们都开始询问，我们到底如何来记单词?更准确的说如何来识记考研单词。在这里老师建议，无论怎样，请不要将单词和考研隔离开来?这里不是纯粹为了比词汇量，这里是为了参加考试。那么我们是否可以有针对性地去关注一下单词在考研里是以何种方式来考的，找到这个问题的答案，才是解决问题的第一步。那单词在考研中是如何考察的呢? 第一种情况：单词，我真的记住你了吗?来看下面一道题： 1. The oppressed freedom. A. Demand B. require C. request 这道题应该是很多人看完都想撞墙的那种，因为答案都有“要求，需求”的意思。那选哪一个呢?我门来看一下英汉词典对这三个单词的解读： demand：ask for firmly, unwilling to accept a refusal.强烈地要求，并不情愿接受拒绝 require：the ruler set a rule with the expectation that it will be obeyed.统治者期望自己的命令规定会被遵守。(如老师要求你完成作业，老板要求你完成工作) request：ask for politely.礼貌地要求 那么当我们看到这里的时候，心里就明白了。答案为A。其实这种类型的词汇题在考研当中会有出现，特别是在完型填空里。那么这也在告诉我们准备考研词汇时，那些词义相近的单词，我们应该记到哪种程度。很多人会问，那我怎么知道精确到如此的单词含以上的差别呢。这里强烈推荐大家身边有一本牛津字典，因为那里有英文注释。而英文注释恰恰是解决词义辨析的杀手锏。 除了查字典之外，我觉得这样的问题还能通过一种方式来解决。哪种方式呢?例句。 第二种情况：曾经认识的词，我们真的很“熟”吗?还是让我们来看一道考研真题：The former has been put down to social effects, such as a strong tradition of education.(2008 use of English) A. Assessing B. supervising C. administering D. Valuing 在这里根据句义很快排除了B和C,但是A和D的意思似乎又撞架了。其实，如果仔细再看一遍题干的话，会发现结合上下语境，这里要填充的意思应是“重视教育的根深蒂固的传统”，所以只要找出具有“重视”含义的选项即可，但是似乎选项里没有这样的单词。其实，如果我们去查阅字典的话，V ALUE当动词讲的时候具有“重视”的意思。其实这就是我们一直强调的考研中的“熟词僻意”现象。这种单词比比皆是，越是简单的初高中词汇，在考研里考的越不是我们想当然的意思，而是我们忽略掉的生僻义。 所以我们在准备考研5500的时候，除了2500个四六级高难度词汇外，那3000个初高
