怎么自考英语ced

我真 佩服你们问这个问题的人了 学英语难吗？ 如果难，我还会在高考中考145吗？ 看下面的方法好了 怎样学好英语 想学好英语，首先要培养对英语的兴趣。“兴趣是最好的老师”,兴趣是学习英语的巨大动力，有了兴趣，学习就会事半功倍。我们都有这样的经验：喜欢的事，就容易坚持下去；不喜欢的事，是很难坚持下去的。而兴趣不是与生俱来的，需要培养。有的同学说：“我一看到英语就头疼，怎么能培养对英语的兴趣呢？”还有的同学说：“英语单词我今天记了明天忘，我太笨了，唉，我算没治了。”这都是缺乏信心的表现。初学英语时，没有掌握正确的学习方法，没有树立必胜的信心，缺乏了克服困难的勇气，丧失了上进的动力，稍遇失败，就会向挫折缴枪，向困难低头。你就会感到英语是一门枯燥无味的学科，学了一段时间之后，学习积极性也逐渐降低，自然也就不会取得好成绩。但是，只要在老师的帮助下，认识到学英语的必要性，用正确的态度对待英语学习，用科学的方法指导学习。开始时多参加一些英语方面的活动，比如 ，唱英文歌、做英语游戏、读英语幽默短文、练习口头对话等。时间长了，懂得多了，就有了兴趣，当然，学习起来就有了动力和欲望。然后，就要像农民一样勤勤恳恳，不辞辛苦，付出辛勤的劳动和汗水，一定会取得成功，收获丰硕的成果。毕竟是No pains, no gains吗。 练好基本功是学好英语的必要条件，没有扎实的英语基础，就谈不上继续学习，更谈不上有所成就。要想基本功扎实，必须全神贯注地认真听讲,上好每一节课，提高课堂效率，脚踏实地、一步一个脚印地，做到以下“五到”： 一、“心到”。在课堂上应聚精会神，一刻也不能懈怠，大脑要始终处于积极状态，思维要活跃、思路要开阔，心随老师走，听懂每一句话，抓住每一个环节，理解每一个知识点，多联想、多思考，做到心领神会。 二、“手到”。学英语，一定要做课堂笔记。因为人的记忆力是有限的，人不可能都过目不忘，记忆本身就是不断与遗忘作斗争的过程。常言说，“好脑筋不如烂笔头”。老师讲的知识可能在课堂上记住了，可是过了一段时间，就会忘记，所以，做好笔记很有必要。英语知识也是一点点积累起来的，学到的每一个单词、词组以及句型结构，都记在笔记本上，甚至是书的空白处或字里行间，这对以后的复习巩固都是非常方便的。 三、“耳到”。在课堂上，认真听讲是十分必要的，不但要专心听老师对知识的讲解，而且要认真听老师说英语的语音、语调、重音、连读、失去爆破、断句等发音要领，以便培养自己纯正地道的英语口语。听见听懂老师传授的每一个知识点，在头脑里形成反馈以帮助记忆；理解领会老师提出的问题，以便迅速作答，对比同学对问题的回答，以加深对问题的理解而取别人之长补自己之短。 四、“眼到”。在认真听讲的同时，还要双眼紧随老师观察老师的动作、口形、表情、板书、绘图、教具展示等。大脑里形成的视觉信息和听觉信息相结合，印象就会更加深刻。 五、“口到”。学习语言，不张嘴不动口是学不好的，同学们最大的毛病是读书不出声，害羞不敢张嘴。尤其是早读课，同学们只是用眼看或默读，这样就只有视觉信息，而没有听觉信息在大脑里的反馈，当然记忆也不会太深刻，口部肌肉也得不到锻炼，也就很难练就一口纯正的英语。所以，要充分利用早晨头脑清醒的时间，大声朗读；课堂上要勇跃回答老师提问、积极参与同学间讨论和辩论，课下对不清楚的问题及时提出，要克服害羞心理，不耻下问。对学过的课文要多读、勤读、苦读，可以跟录音机读，竭力模仿其语音语调以纠正发音，要读得抑扬顿挫朗朗上口，一些精典文章最好能背得滚爪烂熟。利用一切可能的机会，练习英语口语，比如，与外教交流、参加“英语角”活动、与同学进行对话、讲英语故事、唱英文歌曲、演英语短剧、进行诗歌朗诵等。除了对课本中的范文要细读精读之外，还要多看些适合我们中学生的课外读物，既可增长知识，又开阔了我们的视野，也提高了我们的阅读水平。 学英语，词汇的记忆是必不可少的，词汇是学好英语的基础，没有了词汇，也就谈不上句子，更谈不上文章，所以记单词对我们就显得极其重要。记忆单词关键有二： 一是持之以恒：每天坚持记忆一定量的词汇，过几天再回头复习一次，这样周期循环，反复记忆，经常使用，就会变短时记忆为长时记忆并牢固掌握。需要注意的是，一旦开始，就要坚持下来，千万不能半途而废，切不可三天打鱼，两天晒网。 二是良好的记忆方法：记忆单词的方法很多，学无定法，但学有良法。我认为，张思中的“集中识词，分类记忆”不失为一种适合中学生的好方法。把中学生应掌握的3500个单词集中汇总，分门别类，先过单词关，然后再学教材，在课本中使用和巩固它们的用法。分类的方法有多种，同一元音或元音字母组合发音相同的单词归为一类；根据词形词性、同义词反义词等集中记忆；把相同词根、前缀、后缀、合成、转化、派生等构词法相同的单词或词组列在一起集中识记印象比较深刻，记忆效果也比较明显。这样每天记40－80个单词，坚持不懈，多联想，多思考，多使用，词汇问题不就解决了吗？在学习的过程中多注视单词的用法和词组的搭配，牢记老师讲过的单词惯用法和句型，这样不仅有助于我们解题，而且在写作时也会信手拈来，运用自如。 把单词记住，了解词性、词义，掌握其固定搭配与习惯用法，背会时态、从句的各种用法，工作只是完成了一半，我们还得将它们应用到实践中去。就像学游泳，光学理论，不下水应用，不等于掌握了这门技术。不必要搞题海战术，但一定量的典型练习来巩固所学知识是必不可少的。先重视基础练习，如课后习题，单元同步练习，这些是针对课堂知识的巩固性练习，不能好高骛远，光想着一口吃个胖子。基础知识掌握后，有的放失地做一些语法方面的专项练习和考试题型的专题练习。特别提倡同学们准备一本“错题集”，把平时做错的具有代表性的试题或语言点记录下来，以备将来查漏补缺，这样对知识的掌握可以达到事半功倍的效果。

ced = go 行走 (ced 也作 ceed,cess)你最熟悉的词式 go ,只识一个 go 远远不够。你若知道 ced 也是 "行走"，记忆更多单词就无须发愁有很多单词都有cess这个词根，表示与走有关，所以这个词根就是表示goprecedent [pre- 先,前,ced 行, -ent名词后缀,表示物]先行的事物,前例,先例 ;(注意)[-ent 也可作形容词后缀,表示 ....的]先行的,在前的precedented [见上, -ed ...的] 有先例的,有前例的unprecedented [un- 无,见上] 无先例的,空前的precede [pre- 先,前,ced 行] 先行,领先,居先,优先preceding [见上,-ing 形容词后缀 ...的] 在前的,在先的exceed [ ex-以外,超出,ceed-行, "超越而行"-->] 超过,越过,胜过excess [ ex-以外,超出,cess-行, "超出限度以外"-->]超过,越过,过渡, 过分excessive [ive ...的]过度的,过分的proceed [pro-向前, ceed 行] 前进,进行procedure [pro-向前,ced 行,-ure 名词后缀;"进行的过程"-->]过程,步骤, 手续process [ pro-向前, cess行] 过程,进程,程序procession [ 见上, -ion名词后缀] 行进,行进的行列,队伍antecedent [ ante- 先,前, ced 行,-ent 形容词后缀以及名词后缀] 先行的, 居先的;先例,前例;先行词(是不是听说过:))antecessor [ 见上] 先行者,先驱者antecede [见上] 居...之先successor [ suc-后面, cess行,-or 人]后行者,继任者,接班人,继承人(如何? 知道怎么回事了吗?)succession [见上] 继承,相继,继任,接续successive [ -ive ...的] 相继的,连续的,连接的recede [ re-反,回, ced行; "往回行"-->] 后退,退却,引退,退缩recession [re- 反,回, cess行; -ion 名词后缀; "回行"-->]后退,退回 (经济上)衰退retrocede [retro- 向后, ced 行] 后退,退却retrocession 后退,退却,引退intercede [ inter-中间, ...之中,ced行;"介入其中"-->]居间调停,调解, 代为说情,代为请求intercession 居间调停,调解,说情intercessor 居间调停者,调解者,说情者

一般根据词根词缀。拉丁语系所有的语言以及衍生语言都是由前缀+词根+曲折变化、复合、派生+后缀组成的。在国外学语言学，音位学，语法的都要学习词语构成。真正要理解一个单词必须了解它的由来以及演变历史，不过也不是所有的人都会去学习语言学和词汇学，下面是一些词根，希望对你以后识别单词有帮助。【英语字根】1,ag=do,act 做，动2,agri=field 田地，农田(agri也做agro,agr)3,ann=year年4,audi=hear听5,bell=war战争6,brev=short短7,ced,ceed,cess=go行走8,cept=take拿取9,cid,cis=cut,kill切，杀10,circ=ring环，圈11,claim,clam=cry,shout喊叫12,clar=clear清楚，明白13,clud=close,shut关闭14,cogn=known知道15,cord=heart心16,corpor=body体17,cred=believe,trust相信，信任18,cruc=cross 十字19,cur=care关心20,cur,curs,cour,cours=run跑21,dent=tooth牙齿22,di=day 日23,dict=say说24,dit=give给25,don=give给26,du=tow二27,duc,duct=lead引导28,ed=eat吃29,equ=equal等，均，平30,ev=age年龄，寿命，时代，时期31,fact=do,make做，作32,fer=bring,carry带拿33,flor=flower花34,flu=flow流35,fus=pour灌，流，倾泄36,grad=step,go,grade步，走，级37,gram=write,draw写，画，文字，图形38,graph=write,records写，画，记录器，图形39,gress=go,walk 行走40,habit=dwell居住41,hibit=hold拿，持42,hospit=guest客人43,idio=peculiar,own,private,proper特殊的，个人的，专有的44,insul=island岛45,it=go行走46,ject=throw投掷47,juven=young年轻，年少48,lectchoose,gather选，收49,lev=raise举，升50,liber=free自由51,lingu=language语言52,liter=letter文字，字母53,loc=place地方54,log=speak言，说55,loqu=speak言，说56,lun=moon月亮57,man=dwell,stay居住，停留58,manu=hand手59,mar=sea海60,medi=middle中间61,memor=memory记忆62,merg=dip,sink 沉，没63,migr=remove,move迁移64,milit=soldier兵65,mini=small,little小66,mir=wonder惊奇67,miss=send 投，送，发(miss也作mit)68,mob=move动69,mort=death死70,mot=move移动，动71,nomin=name名72,nov=new新73,numer=number 数74,onym=name 名75,oper=work工作76,ori=rise升起77,paci=peace和平，平静78,pel=push,drive推，逐，驱79,pend,pens=hang悬挂/weigh称量/pay支出，付钱，花费80,pet=seek追求81,phon=sound声音82,pict=paint画，描绘83,plen=full满，全84,plic=fold折，重叠85,pon=put放置86,popul=people人民87,port=carry拿，带，运88,pos=put放置89,preci=price价值90,punct=point,prick点，刺91,pur=pure清，纯，净92,rect=right,straight正，直93,rupt=break破94,sal=salt盐95,scend,scens=climb爬，攀96,sci=know知97,sec,sequ=follow跟随98,sect=cut切割99,sent,sens=feel感觉100,sid=sit坐101,sist=stand站立102,son=sound声音103,spect=look看104,spir=breathe呼吸105,tail=cut切割106,tain,ten,tin=hold握，持，守107,tect=cover掩盖108,tele=far远109,tempor=time时110,tend(tens,tent)=stretch伸111,terr=land,earth土地，陆地112,text=weave纺织113,tract=draw拉，抽，引114,un=one一115,urb=city城市116,vac,vacu=empty空117,vad,vas=walk,go行走118,vari=change变化119,ven=come来120,vert,vers=turn转121,vi,via=way道路122,vis,vid=see看123,vit=life生命124,viv=live活【第二部分，多认词根，多识单词】125,aer(o)空气，空中，航空126,alt高127,am爱128,ambul行走129,anim生命，活，心神，意见130,anthrop(o)人，人类131,aqu水132,arch统治者，首脑archy 统治133,avi鸟134,bat打135,biblio书136,birg战斗，打137,cad,cas降落，降临138,cert 确定，确信139,chron时140,cid降落，降临141,clin倾142,cosm(o)世界，宇宙143,cracy统治crat支持144,cub躺，卧145,cult耕，培养146,cycl(o)圈，环，轮147,dem(o)人民148,dexter右149,doc教150,dom屋，家151,dorm睡眠152,drom跑153,ego我154,err漫游，走，行155,fabl,fabul 言156,feder联盟157,ferv沸，热158,fict,fig塑造，虚构159,fid信任160,fil线161,flat 吹162,flect,flex弯曲163,flict打击164,frag,fract破，折165,frig冷166,fug逃，散167,fund,found底，基础168,gam婚姻169,gram谷物，谷粒170,grav重171,greg群，集合172,gyn,gynce(o)妇女173,hal呼吸174,helic(o)螺旋175,hes,her粘着176,ign火177,integr整，全178,junct连接，连结179,later边180,leg读181,leg,legis法182,luc光183,lumin光184,magn(i)大185,matr(i)，metro母186,mega大187,mens测量188,ment心，神，智，思，意189,min伸出，突出190,misc混合，混杂191,mis(o)恨，厌恶192,mon告诫，提醒193,mon单独，一个194,mur墙195,mut变换196,nat诞生197,nav船198,nect,nex结，系199,negr,nigr黑200,nihil无201,noc,nox伤害202,noct(i)夜203,norm规范，正规，正常204,nutri营养205,orn装饰206,par生，产207,parl说，谈208,past喂，食209,path(o)，pathy疾病，疗法210,patr(i)父，祖211,ped脚，足212,ped儿童，小孩213,petr(o)石214,phag吃215,phil(o)爱216,phob(ia)怕217,plex重叠，重218,polis城市219,prim第一，最初220,radic根221,ras,rad擦，刮222,rid,ris笑223,rod,ros咬，啮224,rot轮，转225,rud原始，粗野226,rur,rus农村227,sat,satis,satur足，满，饱228,sen老229,simil,simul相似，相同230,sol单独231,sol太阳232,soph智慧233,sper希望234,spers,spars散，撒235,splend发光，照耀236,stell星237,tact,tag触238,the(o)神239,ton音240,tort扭241,tour迂回，转242,trud,trus推，冲243,tut,tuit监护，看管244,umbr阴影245,ut,us用246,vas走，漫游247,val强248,van空，无249,ver(i)真实250,voc,vok声音，叫喊251,vol,volunt意志，意愿252，volu,volv滚，转

你运气好啊.完整版的.考试作文几乎不会超出以下内容.希望对你有所帮助.L1 P14 Why does the author tell s not to be afraid to ask stupid questions？ The author thinks that many apparently naive inquiries like why grass is green， or why the sn is round， or why we need 55，000 unclear weapons in the world ——are really deep questions. He says when you try to get the answers， you will gain deep understanding of the things. Its also important to know， as well as you can， what it is that you dont know， and asking questions is the way. He also tell us to ask stupid questions requires courage on the part of the asker and knowledge and patience on the part of the answers. And dont confine your learning to schoolwork. Discuss ideas in depth with friends. Its much brave to ask questions even when theres a prospect of ridicule than to suppress your questions and become deadened to the world around you. L2 Icons P30 What are the factors to shift the hero-worship to the celebrity-worship？ The new forms of media——photography， moving pictures， radio and television are the main factors. The reproduction of photos in newspapers turned famous people into celebrities whose dress， appearance， and personal habits were widely commented upon. Slowly， the focus of public attention began to shift away from knowing what such people did to knowing what looked like. The shift was accelerated by the arrival of moving pictures. Between 1901 and 1914， 74 percent of the magazine articles about famous people were about political leaders，inventors， inventors， professionals， and businessmen. After 1922， however， most articles were about movie stars. With the arrival of television， the faces of the stars became as familiar as those we saw across the breakfast table. We came to know more about the lives of the celebrities than we did about most of the people we know personally. Less than seventy years after the appearance of the first movimg pictures， the shift from hero-worship to celebrity-worship was complete. L3 GO-GO AMERICAN P46 What is the Americans attitude towards time？Give necessary examples. In the United States， many people keenly feel the shortness of each lifetime. They are aware that once a day in their life is gone， it will never come back. And Americans believe no one stands still .If you are not moving ahead， you are falling behind. So they value time and want every minte to count. This attitde towards time is shown in the fast pace of life in the country. Whatever they do they always seem to be in a rush. You find people hurrying to get where they are going. They hurry to eating places for a mea and finish it as quickly as possible. Also Americans do what they can to save time. They produce a lot of labour-saving devices such as clothes-and dish-washers； they rapidly communicate through phone calls， telex and e-mail and cut down on personal contacts. L4 Take Over，Bosn！ P62 Can you imagine what did Barret think of when he heard Snyders whisper Take over，bosn？ Becase of thirst，Barret was almost out of mind. He rose several times and was a constant threat. But when he heard Snyder said“Take over， bosn， he had a strange feeling suddenly. He came to realize he would and must take over the task and be responsible for the rest. As long as he stopped others from the little water， they would always have hopes and wouldnt die soon. So he picked Snyders gun up and decided to hold off the other from the water until night when a ship saved them. L5 Are You Giving Your Kids Too Much？ P78 Why parents overindulge their children？ There are several reasons to explain why parents overindulge their children. One fairly common reason is that parents overindulge their chidren out of a sense of guilt. Parents who both hold down full-time jops may feel guilty about the amount of time they spend away from their children and may attempt to compensate by showering them with material possessions. Other parents overindulge because they want their children to have everything they had while growing up， along with those things the parents yearned for but didnt get. Still others are afraid to say no to their childrens denless requests for toys for fear that their children will feel unloved or will be ridiculed if thy dont have the same playthings their friends have. L6 Culture Shock P94 What are four stages that people go through when they experience situations that are very different from those to which they are accustomed？ Stage one is a honeymoon phase， during which the new experience is perceived to be interesting， picturesque， entertaining， and charming. You may notice several superficial differences such as music， food， and clothing， and the fresh apeal of the new experience keeps you feeling interested and positive. When you stay in a new envirnment for a while， you move to stage two-the crisis stage-in which the shine wears off and day-to-day realities sink in. In relationship， you notie annoying habits；in a new country， you find barriers to establishing connections or to learning the language beyond a few polite phrases. If you stick with the experience and try to deal with it realistically， you will probably move to the third phase：recovery. In recovery， you learn the systems， procedures， language or nonverbal behaviors of the new environment so that you can cope with it on the basis of some mastery， competence， and comfort. Finally，when you feel that you function well and almost automatically in the new culture， you will move to the fourth phase：adjustment. L7 The Model Millionaire（I） P108 Suppose you are the millionaire.Explain how you get to know Hughie Erskine and what you do in return for the pound he gave you when you first met. I am Baron Hausberg. I have enough money to buy the whole of London. One day， on a whim I asked my artist friend Alan Trevor to pain me as a beggar. Alan had almost finished the picture when a very charming young man walked into his studio.I suppose he must have been very sympathetic with me， for when Alan was away a minute， the young man quickly put a pound into my hat. I was startled for a moment， but I was pleased when I realized that he took me for a real begger. Later I learned from Alan all about this young man：he was poor， and could not marry the girl he loved because her father wouldnt let them unless he had 10，000 pounds.Touched by the young mans spirit of kindness， I decided to help him. The next day I had a cheque for 10，000 pounds delivered to him as a wedding gift. L8 The Model Millionaire（II） P123 Retell the story The Model Millionaire in about 150 words， concluding your retelling with a one-sentence comment. Hughie Erskine was a charming young man who was in love with a nice girl called Laura Merton.Lauras father made it clear to Hughie that he would not marry his daughter to him until Hughie had ten thousand pounds. One day，Hughie went to see his artist friend Alan Trevor in his studio. There he found his friend painting a beggar， who was an old man in rags.Hughie felt so sorry for the poor model that he gave him the only pound he had. The old model was actually a millionaire.When he heard all about Hughie and Laura， and their problem， he had a cheque for ten thousand pounds delivered to him the very next day.The couple were happily married，and the beggar attended their wedding. The story shows that a genuine millionaire is not one who has， but who give. L9 Only Three More Days P139 The author got a solution finally. What was the solution？ Was it risky？ He laid out the diaries in two big steel suitcases. Over them he palced a number of his broadcast scripts， each page of which had been stamped by the military and civilian censors as passed for broadcast. On top he put a few General Staff maps he had picked up from friends. Then he phoned the Gestapo Headquarters to say he had a couple of suicases full of his dispatches， broadcasts and notes that he wanted to take out of the country. As he was flying off early the next day， there would be no time for Gestapo official at the airfield to go over the contents. Could they take a look now，if he brought them over；and if they approved， put a Gestapo seal on the suitcases so he wouldnt be held up at the airport？ Yes，it was risky. He thought life in the Third Reich had always been risky. It was worth a try L10 The Washwoman P155 Describe the situation that“I”saw the old washwoman for last time. One evening， while Mother was sitting near the oil lamp mending a shirt， the door opened and a small puff of steam， followed by a gigantic bag， entered the room. I ran toward the old woman and helped her unload her bag. She was even thinner now， more bent. Her head shook from side to side as though she were saying no. She could not utter a clear word， but mumbled something with her sunken mouth and pale lips. After the old woman had recovered somewhat， she told us that she had been ill badly. But as soon as she was able to stand on her feet once more， she began her washing. She said “I could not rest easy in my bed because of the wash. The wash would not let me die.……I dont want to be a burden on anyone！” L11 How I Served My Apprenticeship 170 Why was Andrew Carnegie so pround of the one dollor and twenty cents——the first pay he brought home？ Carnegie was very pround of the one dollar and twenty cents he earned for the first time in his life when he was only twelve. The money， though small in amount， meant a great deal. First， when he got his first pay he felt that he had grown up. He was no longer a boy who had to depend on his parents； he had become a man who was able to help support the family， a contributing member. This was important because at that time life was hard for the family and it was difficult for his parents to manage alone. Also he though the money was the direct reward of honest manual labor. It represented a week of very hard work. This money gave him the greatest satisfaction of being rewarded for what he had done. L12 A Friend of the Environment P185 Why did Rachel Carson write the Silent Spring？ Whats the content of it？ Because she felt that the wonders of Nature are precious and permanent， and much of Nature was forever beyond the destruction of man. But then she discovered she was wrong. She learned with sadness that little in Nature is truly beyond the tampering reach of man. Then， She wrote the book Silent Spring to sound a startling warming to mankind and the book showed quite clearly that man was endangering himself and everything else on this planet by his indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides.
