17、od morning. In todays lecture, we shall discuss the strategies of learning English vocabulary. When we talk about learning English, we usually mention the four basic skills listening, reading, speaking and writing. However, all of these skills can not be sharpened without vocabulary. While there are

18、 not any magic shortcuts to learn words, the larger your vocabulary becomes, the easier it will be to connect a new word with words you already know, and thus remember its meaning. So your learning speed, or pace, should increase as your vocabulary grows. There are some basic steps to build your voc

19、abulary effectively. (1)First of all, we need to be aware of words. Many people are surprised when they are told they have small vocabularies. They protest that they read all the time. This shows that reading alone may not be enough to make you learn new words. When we read a novel, for instance, th

20、ere is usually a strong urge to get on with the story and skip over unfamiliar or perhaps vaguely known words. But it is obvious that when a word is totally unknown to you, you have to be especially aware of words that seem familiar to you but whose precise meanings you may not really know. Instead

21、of avoiding these words, you need to take a closer look at them.(2)First, try to guess a words meaning from its context that is, the sense of the passage in which it appears: if you focus on learning words in the context where youre most likely to find them, youre more likely to recognize them when

22、you encounter them or need to use them again. Second,(3)if you have a dictionary with you, look up the word immediately. This may slow down your reading somewhat, but your improved understanding of each new word will eventually speed your learning of other words, making reading easier. Third, make a

23、 daily practice of noting words of interest to you for further study whenever you are reading, listening to the radio, talking to friends, or watching television. Second, it is easy to gain vocabulary through reading. When you have become more aware of words, reading is the next important step to in

24、crease your knowledge of words,(4)because that is how you will find most of the words you should be learning. It is also the best way to check on words you have already learned. When you come across a word you have recently studied, and you understand it, which proves you have learned its meaning. T

25、hen what should you read? Whatever interests you whatever makes you want to read. If you like sports, read the sports page of the newspapers: read magazines like Sports Illustrated: read books about your favorite athletes. If you are interested in interior decorating, read a magazine like House Beau

26、tiful read it, dont just look at the photographs. Often people with very small vocabularies dont enjoy reading at all. Its more of a chore for them than a pleasure because they dont understand many of the words. If this is the way you feel about reading, try reading easier things. Newspapers are usu

27、ally easier than magazines: a magazine like Readers Digest is easier to read than The Atlantic Monthly.(5)There is no point in trying to read something you simply are not able to understand or are not interested in. The important idea is to find things to read you can enjoy, and to read as often and

28、 as much as possible, with the idea of learning new words always in mind. (6)Third, dictionary is a necessity to build your vocabulary. Keep it where you usually do your reading at home. You are more likely to use it if you do not have to get it from another room. At work, there may be a good dictio

29、nary available for your use. At home, most people do not have a big, unabridged dictionary: however, one of the smaller academic dictionaries would be fine to start with. Remember, words can have more than one meaning, and the meaning you need for the word you are looking up may not be the first one

30、 given in your dictionary. Even if it is so, the other meanings of the word will help you understand the different ways the word is used.(7)Also, the words history, usually given near the beginning of the entry, can often give a fascinating picture of the way the word has developed its current meani

31、ng. This will add to the pleasure of learning the word as well as help you remember it. Fourth, you should review the words regularly until you fix them in your memory.(8)This is best done by setting aside a specific amount of time each day for vocabulary study. During that time you can look up new

32、words you have noted during the day and review old words you are in the process of learning.(9)Set a goal for the number of words you would like to learn and by what date, and arrange your schedule accordingly. In order to review words effectively, all the information on a word should be kept in one

33、 place in a notebook, for example, or on an index card. Index cards are convenient because the words can be placed in alphabetical order, which makes them easy to find when reviewing: and the cards can be carried around with you, so you can study them anywhere. We have already discussed some externa

34、l factors to assist us in vocabulary-building process.(10)Perhaps the most important factor in a successful vocabulary-building program is motivation. It will be very difficult for you to study words month after month without a strong feeling that it is worth doing, that a larger vocabulary will hel

35、p you in school and on the job, and that it can well lead to a more exciting and fulfilling life. OK, this brings us to the end of our lecture. I hope after todays lecture, youll understand better the strategies of learning vocabulary. Thanks for your attention. 【知识模块】 讲座 1 【正确答案】 words 【试题解析】 本题设题点

As we know dissertations have become an increasingly important component of higher educa

42、tion. It provides you with an opportunity to work independently on a topic that particularly interests you. So, it is important to know how to approach your own dissertation in the first place. First, we will have a brief introduction of dissertation. Different subject disciplines may emphasize diff

43、erent features, but, broadly speaking, a dissertation is a continuous piece of writing, arranged in clearly placed paragraphs, in which an argument is developed, in response to a central question or proposition. The line of argument is supported by evidence you have acquired through research,(1)whic

44、h you are required to analyze, and which supports or contradicts the various perspectives explored in the course of the argument. The dissertation then reaches a conclusion in the final section, which pulls together the threads of your argument, supporting, qualifying or rejecting the original thesi

45、s. It is worth bearing in mind that an academic dissertation is not a piece of writing designed to reproduce information available elsewhere,(2)but something new and expressive of your individual abilities to analyze and synthesize. In addition, the process of academic writing will help you to learn

46、, by enabling you to work with concepts and information relevant to your subject, and thereby developing your intellectual skills.

Secondly, it contains a detailed exploration of evidence. The referred evidence

48、 may be from published texts,(4)or it may consist of primary research data gathered by your own, for example, a sociological study of attitudes to gender roles based on research methods such as interviews and questionnaires. Thirdly, you are required to be clear about the nature of the methodology you will use for gathering the evidence. That is to say, why are you collecting data or analyzing evidence in that way rather than in an
