大学英语精读
大学英语精读怎么学?
建议如下: 1、 心理素质影响学习效果 首先,要对外语保持长时间稳定而积极的态度.这可以归结为“恒心”两个字.有了它,才能像蚕吃桑叶一样,一口又一口,坚持不懈地去啃,直到预定目标顺利攻克. 其次,还需要一定的自律能力.该复习时不复习,遗忘规律就会无情地吞噬着你的一部分记忆成果；该补漏时不补漏,漏洞就会不断积累扩大.所以需要有自律能力,约束自己按科学原则去运转. 2、 看写读听背——多管齐下效率高难度 一般来说,大家学英语都有各自的一套办法：有的只爱大声读个不停,有的只爱闷头看个不休,有的不写就记不住,有的不听心里就没有底.这些方法,虽然都有一定的作用,但记忆科学通过大量的实验,无可辩驳地证明：眼手口舌脑的综合运用,才能更快更深地在大脑皮层上留下不易磨灭的印象. 学外语尤其需要多种感官的综合运用.否则,搞不好学成“残疾外语”,或一听就发慌两耳一抹黑的“聋子外语”. 3、 “活”单词与“死”单词 经常听说某某发下宏愿：要一口气背下一本几千甚至几万词的字典,认为这样可以一劳永逸地解决单词量的问题.不幸的是,这样做的人,大部分都失败了.背了若干遍的单词,仍很难在脑子里生根,不是很快忘掉,就是搅成一团乱麻.因为他们背的都是脱离了句子和课文的“死”单词,大脑对这类东西格外难以留下印象. 如何使单词“起死回生”呢?我的办法是——背课文!因为它有故事情节,较生动,易印像深刻. 课文不局限于教科书,也可以是讲演稿,新闻评论,散文……总之,就是能把一个个冰冷的单词变成生机勃勃的故事的文章.在大量的整段的背诵中,多次的重复不断激活记忆的单词,其用法自然而然就深入骨髓了.实际上,这种“深入骨髓”就形成了学语言最重要的“语感”! 4、 复习间隔合理,可以省时高效 英语是一门记忆量很大的学科,有效的记忆就成了一个关键.著名科学家茅以升先生,是个记忆力超群的人.人们问到他的记忆秘诀,他的回答是：重复!重复!再重复!重复被人们称为学习之母.不重复,记住的知识就会在遗忘率的支配下,不多久就只剩下一点儿“残汤剩饭”.根据一些知名人士建议,每七天复习巩固一次为宜. 5、 把英语作为一门文化来学 语言和文化是不分家的,还应当了解一些英语语言的文化背景知识,以便更准确地明白其含义.
大学英语精读该怎么学？
以下是几点英语学习方法的总结（希望可以帮到您）
一、 读
每天都应坚持读。
1、 朗读：一般文章读2~3遍，带着理解去读，而不只是为读而读。
2、 背诵：好的文章应背熟，以记住好词好句，同时培养自己的语感。
3、 速读：文章第一遍用最快的速度读完，以提高阅读速度和理解能力，并逐渐培养不翻译直接理解英文的能力。
4、 精读：文章第二遍应精读，以达到对文章的准确理解，并熟悉语法结构，加深单词记忆。也可选择部分文章速读，对于较好的文章精读。
5、 泛读：每天看1小时左右的英文报纸，在有兴趣的基础上阅读能力会有很大提高。遇到不会的单词在不影响文章理解的情况下可以略过去，从而提高自己的阅读速度。如果想记忆单词，则可查词典，多次查阅记忆便能记住单词。（坚持一两个月就会有明显效果）
二、 听
1、 从最初级的听力入手，听懂每个单词、每句话、每段话及每篇文章。逐步增加难度。每天至少半小时。
2、 跟读英语，一方面加强听力，一方面训练口语，同时还能培养语感。注意发音的准确性。
三、 写
1、 每两天写一篇英文日记或作文。
2、 用英语写信或E-mail。
3、 注意语法的应用和词汇的记忆。
四、 语法
1、 从基础到高级，掌握每一个语法点，并作详细笔记。笔记所记的都是自己所会的，直到把所有语法细节都掌握。
2、 对于不熟悉的语法知识点应反复复习运用，直到掌握为止。
五、 词汇
1、 每天记忆100~150新单词，并复习前一天的旧单词。对于生疏的旧单词，可记录下来，安排适当时间记忆。
2、 所有单词记忆完一遍之后紧接着再记一遍，三四遍并不为多。重复是记忆单词的最好方法，也是很多记忆的根本方法。
3、 结合例句记忆单词，效果最佳。记忆单词应注意力集中，
六、 练习
1、 大量的练习可以巩固所学知识。
2、 通过练习可以提高阅读理解能力，增加词汇量，加强对语法的掌握。

A Miserable, Merry Christmas Christmas was coming. I wanted a pony. To make sure that my parents understood, I declared that I wanted noting else. "Nothing but a pony?" my father asked. "Nothing," I said. "Not even a pair of high boots?" That was hard. I did want boots, but I stuck to the pony. "No, not even boots." "Nor candy? There ought to be something to fill your stocking with, and Santa Claus can't put a pony into a stocking," That was true, and he couldn't lead a pony down the chimney either . But no. "All I want is a pony," I said. "If I can't have a pony, give me nothing, nothing." On Christmas Eve I hung up my stocking along with my sisters. The next morning my sisters and I woke up at six. Then we raced downstairs to the fireplace. And there they were, the gifts, all sorts of wonderful things, mixed-up piles of presents. Only my stocking was empty; it hung limp; not a thing in it; and under and around it -- nothing. My sisters had knelt down, each by her pile of gifts; they were crying with delight, till they looked up and saw me standing there looking so miserable. They came over to me and felt my stocking: nothing. I don't remember whether I cried at that moment, but my sisters did. They ran with me back to my bed, and there we all cried till I became indignant. That helped some. I got up, dressed, and driving my sisters away, I went out alone into the stable, and there, all by myself, I wept. My mother came out to me and she tried to comfort me. But I wanted no comfort. She left me and went on into the house with sharp words for my father. My sisters came to me, and I was rude. I ran away from them. I went around to the front of the house, sat down on the steps, and, the crying over, I ached. I was wronged, I was hurt. And my father must have been hurt, too, a little. I saw him looking out of the window. He was watching me or something for an hour or two, drawing back the curtain so little lest I catch him, but I saw his face, and I think I can see now the anxiety upon on it, the worried impatience. After an hour or two, I caught sight of a man riding a pony down the street, a pony and a brand-new saddle; the most beautiful saddle I ever saw, and it was a boy's saddle. And the pony! As he drew near, I saw that the pony was really a small horse, with a black mane and tail, and one white foot and a white star on his forehead. For such a horse as that I would have given anything. But the man came along, reading the numbers on the houses, and, as my hopes -- my impossible hopes -- rose, he looked at our door and passed by, he and the pony, and the saddle. Too much, I fell upon the steps and broke into tears. Suddenly I heard a voice. "Say, kid," it said, "do you know a boy named Lennie Steffens?" I looked up. It was the man on the pony, back again. "Yes," I spluttered through my tears. "That's me." "Well," he said, "then this is your horse. I've been looking all over for you and your house. Why don't you put your number where it can be seen?" "Get down," I said, running out to him. I wanted to ride. He went on saying something about "ought to have got here at seven o'clock, but--" I hardly heard, I could scarcely wait. I was so happy, so thrilled. I rode off up the street. Such a beautiful pony. And mine! After a while I turned and trotted back to the stable. There was the family, father, mother, sisters, all working for me, all happy. They had been putting in place the tools of my new business: currycomb, brush, pitchfork -- everything, and there was hay in the loft. But that Christmas, which my father had planned so carefully, was it the best or the worst I ever knew? He often asked me that; I never could answer as a boy. I think now that it was both. It covered the whole distance from broken-hearted misery to bursting happiness -- too fast, A grown-up could hardly have stood it.

You Go Your Way, I'll Go Mine The messenger got off his bicycle in front of the house of Mrs. Rosa Sandoval. He went to the door and knocked gently. He knew almost immediately that someone was inside the house. He could not hear anything, but he was sure the knock was bringing someone to the door and he was most eager to see who this person would be -- his woman named Rosa Sandoval who was now to heat of murder in the world and to feel it in herself. The door was not a long time opening, but there was no hurry in the way it moved on its hinges. The movement of the door was as if, whoever she was, she and nothing in the world to fear. Then the door was open, and there she was. To Homer the Mexican woman was beautiful. He could see that she had been patient all her life, so that now, after years of it, her lips were set in a gentle and saintly smile. But like all people who never receive telegrams the appearance of a messenger at the front door is full of terrible implication. Homer knew that Mrs. Rosa Sandoval was shocked to see him. Her first word was the first word of all surprise. She said "Oh," as if instead of a messenger she had thought of opening the door to someone she had know a long time and would be pleased to sit down with. Before she spoke again she studied Homer's eyes and Homer Knew that she knew the message was not a welcome one. "You have a telegram?" she said. It wasn't Homer's fault. His work was to deliver telegrams. Even so, it seemed to him that he was part of the whole mistake. He felt awkward and almost as if he alone were responsible for what had happened. At the same time he wanted to come right out and say, "I'm only a messenger, Mrs. Sandoval, I'm very sorry I must bring you a telegram like this, but it is only because it is my work to do so." "Who is it for?" the Mexican woman said. "Mrs. Rosa Sandoval, 1129 G Street." Homer said. He extended the telegram to the Mexican woman, but she would not touch it. "Are you Mrs. Sandoval?" Homer said. "Please," the woman said. "Please come in. I cannot read English. I am Mexican. I read only La Prensa which comes from Mexico City." She paused a moment and looked at the boy standing awkwardly as near the door as he could be and still be inside the house. "Please," she said, "what does the telegram say?" "Mrs. Sandoval," the messenger said, "the telegram says --" But now the woman interrupted him. "But you must open the telegram and read it to me," she said. "You have not opened it." "Yes, ma'am," Homer said as if he were speaking to a school teacher who had just corrected him. He opened the telegram with nervous fingers. The Mexican woman stooped to pick up the torn envelope, and tried to smooth it out. As she did so she said, "Who sent the telegram -- my son Juan Domingo?" "No, ma'am." Homer said. "The telegram is from the War Department." "War Department?" the Mexican woman said. "Mrs. Sandoval," Homer said swiftly, "your son is dead. Maybe it's a mistake, Everybody makes a mistake, Mrs. Sandoval. Maybe it wasn't your son. Maybe it was somebody else. The telegram says it was Juan Domingo. But maybe the telegram is wrong," The Mexican woman pretended not to hear. "Oh, do not be afraid," she said. "Come inside. Come inside. I will bring you candy." She took the boy's arm and brought him to the table at the center of the room and there she made him sit. "All boys like candy," she said. "I will bring you candy." She went into another room and soon returned with an old chocolate candy box. She opened the box at the table and in it Homer saw a strange kind of candy. "Here," she said. "Eat this candy. All boys like candy." Homer took a piece of the candy from the box, put it into his mouth, and tried to chew. "You would not bring me a bad telegram," she said. "You are a good boy -- like my little Juanito when he was a little boy. Eat another piece." And she made the messenger take another piece of the candy. Homer sat chewing the dry candy while the Mexican woman talked. "It is our own candy," she said, "from cactus. I made it for my Juanito when he come home, but you eat it. You are my boy, too." Now suddenly she began to sob, holding herself in as if weeping were a disgrace. Homer wanted to get up and run, but he knew he would stay. He even thought he might stay the rest of his life. He just didn't know what else to do to try to make the woman less unhappy, and if she had asked him to take the place of her son, he would not have been able to refuse, because he would not have known how. He got to his feet, as if by standing he meant to begin correcting what could not be corrected and then he knew the foolishness of this intention and became more awkward than ever. In his heart he was saying over and over again, "What can I do? What the hell can I do? I'm only the messenger." NEW WORDS soften v. (cause to) become soft(er) or gentle (使)软化;(使)温和 tragic a. very sad, unfortunate; of or related to tragedy 悲惨的;悲剧的 messenger n. a person employed to deliver telegrams, letters or parcels 送信人，电报投递员 gently ad. softly 轻轻地 immediately a. at once immediate a. eager a. marked by strong interest or impatient desire 热切的，渴望的 hinge n. 铰链 whoever pron. no matter who 无论谁，不管谁 saintly a. like a saint; very holy 像圣徒一样的;圣洁的 implication n. 含义 imply vt. shock vt. cause unpleasant or angry surprise to (sb.) 使(某人)震惊 deliver vt. take (sth.) to the place where it esp. sth. bad 交付，递送 awkward a. uncomfortable 尴尬的` responsible a. having done or been the cause of esp. sth. bad(应)负责的 Mexican n & a. 墨西哥人;墨西哥(人)的 extend vt. hold out 伸出 pause vi. stop for a short time 暂停，中止 interrupt vt. stop (sb. speaking) by breaking in 打断(某人讲话) nervous a. 神经质的;紧张的 ma'am madam (used in direct address) 夫人，太太，小姐 smooth vt. make smooth or smoother 把...弄平 department n. 部门;系 swiftly ad. rapidly, quickly 快速地;敏捷地 swift a. chocolate n. 巧克力(糖) chew vt. crush (food) with the teeth 咀嚼 cactus n. 仙人掌 sob vi. cry with short, quick breaths 啜泣;呜咽 disgrace n. shame 耻辱;丢脸的人(或事) unhappy a. not happy hell n. 地狱 PHRASES & EXPRESSIONS hear of have knowledge of or receive information about 听到，听说 be responsible for be the cause of 应对...负责的 come out (with) speak out 大声地说，清楚地说 smooth out make smooth(er) hold oneself in control one's feelings take the place of act or be used instead of, replace 代替，取代 get to one's feel stand up over and over again very often, repeatedly 反复地，再三地 PROPER NAMES Rosa Sandoval 罗莎.桑多瓦尔 Homer 霍默 Mexico City 墨西哥城(墨西哥首都) Juan Domingo 胡安 多明哥 the War Department (美国)陆军部(旧称) Juanito 胡安尼特(Juan的昵称) ;
