有的人說背“魔板”是不可能得到高分的,而另一些人卻說不背“魔板”得到的高分是沒有“性價(jià)比”的。實(shí)際上,就我個(gè)人而言,我認(rèn)為魔板的背誦是非常必要的,但絕對(duì)不是能是盲目的!

大家都知道,我們中國(guó)人其實(shí)在英語的聽說讀寫四個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)上最薄弱的就是輸出的兩個(gè)能力:說和寫;而的就是輸入的兩個(gè)能力:讀和聽。
下面我就分別以新TOFEL的綜合部分和GRE/GMAT作文的“阿狗”部分為例分別給大家分享一下我個(gè)人對(duì)于滿分的一些理解。

_____________and_______________ demonstrate that ___________is in doubt.
If the lecture supports or strengthens the information in the reading passage, the writing task will usually be phrased in one of the following ways:

The first point the professor makes that casts doubt on the reading is his point about the behavior of stags. The professor shows how the actions of animal can be interpreted in different ways. For example, some people interpret the stag’s actions as being for the “good of the species,” but the professor shows that the stag is actually acting in self-interest. This casts doubt on the reading because it appears that the crickets’ behavior can be interpreted as helping only individual crickets and not the group as a whole. The professor then talks about the results of the experiment, which seems to indicate the crickets are acting only in self-interest.
Another point the professor makes that casts doubt on the reading is his point about the intelligence of animals and insects. As he states, it would seem to require a lot of intelligence to evaluate how a behavior will affect an entire species. This makes the explanation in the reading seem less likely; a cricket is probably unable to think of the consequences of its actions. It is more likely that the cricket is only acting out of self-preservation, as the professor indicates.
The first point the professor makes that casts doubt on the reading is his point about__________________________________.
The professor shows that_____________________________________.
For example, ______________________________, but the professor shows that_______________________________________.
This casts doubt on the reading because it appears that_________________________________.
The professor then talks about_________________________, which seems to indicate that___________________________.
Another point the professor makes that casts doubt on the reading is his point about__________________________________.
As he states, it would seem to___________________________.
This makes the explanation in the reading seem less likely;_____________________________________.
It is more likely that________________________, ad the professor indicates.
