学好新概念第三册 考好大学英语六级

　　一、作文：
　　新概念第三册的主要目标是“Developing Skills”，这里的“Skills”中很重要的一个环节就是写作。第三册精选的文章中有大量十分生动形象的句子。不管是在措词还是在句子结构上都可以为读者提供很好的模仿范例。现将其中可以应用到本次写作的部分和大家分享一下，希望能给不知如何下笔写作的考生一些启示。
　　本次作文的题目是 ”The Digital Age”，提供的提纲如下：
　　1.如今数字化产品越来越多，如…
　　2.使用数字化产品对人们学习，工作和生活的影响。
　　下文中大部分句型，词组和单词都来自新概念第三册，括号里的内容是句型和词组的课文出处，单词没有标明出处。
　　The Digital Age
　　It’s an accepted fact that the digital age has come. (Lesson30. “In time, it became an accepted fact that the Cox brothers employed a conscientious ghost that...”) The variety of digital products is accumulating steadily. (Lesson38. “They will hardly know which facts to select from the great mass of evidence that steadily accumulates.”) MP3 and MP4 with fancy functions appeal to (Lesson41. “The quiet life of the country has never appealed to me.”) a wide range of people. Cell phones taking a large possession of (Lesson41. “…, they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall!”) digital markets are easily available now. Laptops are updating with a tremendous speed. (This expression appears in lesson 25 &43.) On important occasions, Digital cameras and DV can always find their way there. (Lesson15. “Very few of the fifty pence pieces and pound coins I have given him have found their way there.”) Though it’s possible to state there are more and more digital products, it is extremely difficult to list all. (Lesson27. “Though it may be possible to measure the value of material goods in terms of money, it is extremely difficult to estimate the true value of the services ...”)
　　第一段先扣题中 “digital age”，然后用“…is accumulate steadily.”概括提纲中的“越来越多”，接下来要做的就是举例。第三册第41，47 等课文中都展示了如何列举例子，通常是用并列的结构，一句话一个例子，简洁但不乏高度概括性。段末再强调一下因为种类太多没办法一一列举，紧扣题旨。
　　Digital products are exerting remarkable influence on our study, work and daily life. (Lesson45. “Newspapers exert such tremendous influence that they can not only ...”) They serve as (Lesson 25. “She serves as an impressive reminder of the great ships of the past.”) helpful assistants to traditional classroom teaching. They enable us to work in a fast, effective and convenient way. As an essential part of our daily day, they almost have the same importance which food has for us. (Lesson42. “For him, caves have the same peculiar fascination which high mountains have for the climber.”) Just imagine we were deprived of the use of digital products. Needless to say, without them everything would be in a state of chaos. (Lesson60. “Without it, nothing could ever be brought to a conclusion; everything would be in state of chaos.”) It is this excessive dependence that revealed their negative influence. To varying degrees, we have lost our independence and privacy. (Lesson24. To varying degrees, we all have secrets which we do not want even our closest friends to learn,…)
　　第二段第一句话同样先来个中心句，这是新概念文章一个很突出的特点。接着分别从学习，工作，生活方面一一阐述，这里仍然可以采用一句话概括一个方面的做法。影响往往是双面的，所以讲完积极的影响后还要提一下消极方面，用两句后带过就行了。
　　很多考生拿到试题不知如何入手，不能进行很好的“output”，很大一个原因是“input”不够。所以写作水平的提高光靠练习还不够，一定要进行大量的课后积累，经典几十年不衰的新概念系列无疑为学习者进行积累提供了一个很好的平台。学好学透新概念，以不变应万变。
　　二、快速阅读：
　　解答快速阅读时，在确定了定位词且在文中找到相关信息后，常需要进行同义转换，通过将新概念第三册中的知识点和该试题中的相关信息进行同义转换，可以帮助快速解题。例如：
　　2. What does the European Union plan to do?
　　通过专有名词“European Union”定位找到句子“the European Union unveiled a plan to cut energy use…”，
　　该题答案是B (Cut energy consumption)，
　　从新概念三册第 46课生词表中 “consumer” 一词，很自然会扩展到动词 “consume” 和名词 “consumption”。
　　4. How much of the power consumed by incandescent bulbs is converted into light？
　　通过副标题 “Change Bulbs” 定位找到句子 “Bulbs…wastes most of the power it consumes on unwanted heat”
　　第35课出现 “convert” 一词，第59课出现 “unwanted” 一词，综合一下， “most” power → “consumed on unwanted heat” 推断出“A small portion”（正确选项）→ “converted into light”。
　　8. Energy service contractor profit by taking a part of clients’根据引号定位找到句子 “Energy service contractor” will pay for retrofitting in return for a share of the client’s annual utility-bill savings.第14课的 “in return” 和19 课的 “share” 都是作为重要语言点处理的，由此可以得出 “share” 和 “take a part of” 是同义，所以填 “annual utility-bill savings”。
　　9. Many environmentalists maintain the view that conservation has much to do with .根据长单词 “environmentalists” 找到句子 “in many people’s minds, conservation is still associated with self-denial. Many environmentalists still push that view”，第41课出现动词 “maintain”, 其意思相当于 “push that view”，第23课有 “associate with”这一词组，意思是 “have something to do with”，所以该处填 “self-denial”。另外第3题正确选项中的关键词组 “get rid of” 在28课出现。
