1、幽默英语演讲小短文幽默英语演讲小短文(2分钟的) As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplie

2、s us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty. Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It

3、is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. Whats

4、 worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead

5、 to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career. 学习之于心灵,就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物,我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地,我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力,并扩充我们的智力容量。不断的学习提供我们用不尽的燃料,来驱使我们磨利我们的推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中跟时代并驾齐驱的最稳当的方法,

6、也是在变动的世代中成功的可靠保证。 一旦学习停止,单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的唯一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地,学习应该是一种无终止的历程,从生到死。由于世界一直快速地在变动,只要学习停顿数日就将使人落后。更糟的是,蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会复活,削弱我们追求高贵理想的意志,弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心,而且扼杀我们净化我们人格的欲望。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞,甚至更糟地,使其僵化。因此,为了保持心理年轻,我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。 2heavy schoolwork In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigne

7、d to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. High should be allowed more time for play. Playing is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and a

8、lso exercise their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a re

9、duction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole. 我认为目前高中生的课业实在太重了,虽然说学生的确应当念书,但是要想长大成为健全的人,他门还需要一些其它的东西,所以应该给高中生较多从事娱乐的时间。娱乐并不如某些人所想的,是在浪费时间,它可以让学生锻炼身体,发挥被繁重课业扼杀的想象力。此外,繁重的课业加诸在高中生身上的压力可能引起严重的情绪紧张,这对身心都有害。我并非主张废除学校课业,但是我认为减轻目前繁重的课业对于学生和整个社会都是有益的。 3Time

10、 Lost time is never found again. This is something which I learned very clearly last semester. I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer. I finally realized that something had to be done. It was time for a change. Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely. I have set my

11、 alarm clock ahead half an hour. This will give me a head start on the day. I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it. Looking back on what Ive done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time. 时光一去不复返,这是我上学期清楚学到的教训。我浪费很多时间四处游荡,以致于我的成绩开始退步。最后我终于了解到我必须有所作为;该是痛改前非的时候了。 现

12、在我有一个明智运用时间的新方法。我已将闹钟早拨半小时,这将使我这一天的作息提前开始。我也决定将我所做的一切及做这些事的时间记录下来。回顾我所做的事情会启发我如何重新安排我的时间。 4Work and Play Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for y

13、ou would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions. What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. Us

14、ually I dont spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the days pressure. On weekends, Ill catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another weeks work-load. 工作与娱乐并不互相冲突,

15、事实上,它们之间的关系还相辅相成。有句格言说:整日工作而没有休闲娱乐,会令人变得沉闷乏味。被工作重担压得喘不过气来的生活,将使你一事无成,因为你将对一成不变的例行公事感到厌烦。由另一方面来说,适度的娱乐活动能提供各种管道,来渲泄你被压抑的情绪,减轻单调生活中的紧张与不悦。 放学之后,我最常做的休闲活动,便是慢跑与看电影。通常我并不特地拨出时间来做运动,但是我很重视学校的体育课。在操场上慢跑几圈,无疑地可以减轻一天的压力。在周末时,我都去看早场电影,享受视觉飨宴。如此一来,我将有如再生般的充沛活力,去面对下一星期的工作量。 5My first Job My first job was at a

16、cramming school. It was three years ago when I just graduated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination. since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence. I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message. I worked

17、 eight hours a day, six days a week. The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well. The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself. 我的第一份工作是在一家补习班做事。那是三年前我刚从国中毕业,考完联考时的事了。既然我那整个夏天都闲着没事,倒不如找份差事,尝尝独立赚钱的快乐。 我负责接听电话且纪录留言的工作。我一天工作八小时,一星期工作六天。那

18、份工作对我而言既不困难亦不沉重,所以我想我还满称职的。而最令人快乐的事大概莫过于花全部由自己赚来的钱了! 6My Favorite Sports Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient. So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis. Table tennis is my favorite game. I play it almost every day. Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it

19、 brings the whole body into action. It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin. Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money. Table-tennis is very moderate; it is not so rough as football. It is an indo

20、or game and can be played even on rainy days. Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise. 运动能帮助每一个人保持健康、快乐和有效率。所以我特别重视运动,特别是桌球,桌球是我最喜欢的运动。我几乎每天玩。 桌球对我们而言,是一项理想的运动,因为它可以使我们全身运动,它可以增强我们的肌肉,扩张我们的肺部,促进血液循环,并且使肌肤产生健康作用,此外,它很有趣而且所费不多。桌球是相当温和适中的,它不像足球那么粗野。它是一种室内运动,甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此,桌球是我最喜爱的一种运动。 英语主动表被动用法归纳 一、谓语动

21、词用主动表被动的五种情形 (1) 某些连系动词(如look, sound, smell, feel, taste, prove等)要用主动表被动,因为连系动词为不及物动词,它们没有被动语态形式: That dog looks dangerous. 那只狗看起来很危险。 Your idea sounds a good one. 你的想法听起来很好。 My advice proved to be wrong. 我的意见证实是错的。 (2) 当open, close, shut, lock, move等用作不及物动词且表示主语的某种属性时,通常用主动形式表示被动意义: The door wont s

22、hut. 这门关不上。 The supermarket doors shut automatically. 超市的门是自动关的。 该用法的不及物动词通常与cant, wont 等连用,注意它与用被动语态含义不同: The window wont shut. 这窗户关不上。(说明主语的属性窗户有问题了) The window wont be shut. 这窗户将不用关上。(窗户本身没问题,只是不用关) 有时可能用主动和被动形式均可,只是强调重点稍有不同: Suddenly the door opened. 突然门开了。(不强调动作执行者) The door was suddenly opened

23、. 门突然被打开了。(强调动作执行者) 当read, wash, clean, cook, cut, wear, carry等用作不及物动词且表示主语的某种属性时,通常要用主动形式表示被动意义: The cloth washes well. 这种布料好洗。 The book sells quickly. 这书销售得快。This cheese doesnt cut easily. Its too soft. 这乳酪不容易切,太软了。 This shirt will wear very long. 这衬衫可以穿很久。 该用法通常与well, easily, slowly, quickly等副词连用

24、,并且在用于以上意思时通常不宜直接使用被动语态形式。不过在某些特殊情况下也可用被动语态,只是含义稍有不同(用主动形式表示 主语的属性,用被动形式表示动作执行者所执行的动作): The sentences read clearly. 这些句子读起来很清楚。(即这句子没有歧义) The sentences are read clearly. 这些句子被读得很清楚。(指读的人读得好) 另外,以上用法有时也可能用于进行时态: The vegetables are cooking. 蔬菜正在煮着。 Is the book selling well? 这书销售情况如何? (4) 某些表示开始和结束的动词(

25、begin, start, finish, end等),当主语为事物且不强调动作的执行者时,可用主动形式表示被动意义: When does the concert begin? 音乐会什么时候开始? The play ended at ten oclock. 戏10点钟结束。 (5) 有的动词本身含有被动意味,通常用主动形式来表示被动含义: Where is the new film showing? 这部新电影在哪里放映? My skirt caught on a nail. 我的裙子被钉子钩住了。 Soon the house filled with people. 很快房子就挤满了人。

26、二、非谓语动词用主动表被动的八种情形 (1) 不定式to blame, to let用作表语时,通常要用主动形式表示被动意义: Who is to blame? 该怪谁呢? The house is to let. 此屋出租。 (2) 某些“be+形容词+to do”结构中的不定式通常要用主动形式表示被动意义: The question is difficult to answer. 这问题很难回答。 Your writing is impossible to read. 你的书写没法认。 Do you think the water is safe to drink? 你认为这水喝起来安全吗

27、? 这类结构的特点是句子主语就是其后不定式的逻辑宾语,按理说其中的不定式要用被动形式,但习惯上却要用主动表被动。这类形容词常见的有awkward, convenient, dangerous, difficult, easy, hard, impossible, interesting, nice, pleasant, safe, tough, tricky, unpleasant 等。 有时形容词后跟有名词,在名词后用作定语的不定式用主动形式表示被动意义: Its a difficult book to read. 那是一本难读的书。 It is a pleasant thing to re

28、member. 这是一件值得记住的愉快的事。 有少数用于类似结构的形容词(如fit, ready, free等),其中的不定式用主动式和被动式均可: The water is not fit to drink to be drunk. 这水不适合饮用。 The letters are ready to post to be posted. 这信已准备好可以寄了。 (3) 不定式用于某些动词(如have, have got, get, want, need等)的宾语后作定语时,如果不定式的逻辑主语就是句子的主语,则要用主动形式表示被动意义: I have some letters to writ

29、e. 我有一些信要写。 I want something to drink. 我想喝点什么。 I want to get something to read. 我想找点东西阅读。 如果不定式的逻辑主语不是句子的主语,则应用被动式,比较: I have something to type. 我有些东西要打(字)。(指自己打字) I have something to be typed. 我有些东西要打(字)。(指请人打字) (4) 不定式用于某些双宾动词(如give, show, buy, lend, get等)的直接宾语后作定语时,如果不定式的逻辑主语就是直接宾语前的间接宾语,通常用主动形式表

30、示被动意义: Give me some magazines to read. 给我几本杂志看。 He lent me some magazines to read. 他借给我一些杂志看。 如果不定式的逻辑主语不是直接宾语前的间接宾语,则应用被动式,比较: He will show you the path to take. 他将告诉你走什么道路。 He will show you the room to be used as the meeting-room. 他将带你去看看用作会议室的房间。 但有时两者区别不大: Give me a list of the people to invite

31、to be invited. 把需要邀请的人员名单给我。 (5) 不定式用于修饰“there be+名词”中的名词时,可用主动式,也可用被动式,有时含义差不多: There is too much work to do to be done. 要做的工作太多了。 但有时含义有差别(不定式用主动式可视为其前省略了for sb,用被动式可视为其后省略了by sb): There is nothing to do. 无事可做。(含有无聊之意) There is nothing to be done. 不能做什么了。(指没有办法了) There is nothing to see. 没什么可看的。(即

32、不值一看) There is nothing to be seen. 没看见什么。(指没东西看) 涉及副词enough和too的主动表被动。在 tooto do sth 和enough to do sth这两个结构中,若句子主语与其后不定式为to do sth被动关系,则该不定式通常用主动形式表示被动意义(但也可直接用被动式): The writing is too faint to read to be read. 这笔迹太模糊,看不清。 These boxes are not strong enough to use to be used as a platform. 这些箱子不够牢,不能

33、用作站台。 但在某些特别强调被动意义的语境中,可能用被动式更恰当: He spoke in a voice too low to be heard. 他说话的声音太低,听不见。 He is too young to be sent to America for advanced study. 他太年轻,不能送到美国去深造。 (7) be worth后的动名词要用主动表被动: In all, the book is worth reading. 总之,这本书值得一读。 This might be worth thinking about. 这可能值得考虑。 与worth相似的worthy却不一样

34、,其后不接动名词而接不定式(若接动名词则其前应有介词of),且要用被动式表示被动含义: This book is worthy to be read of being read. 这本书值得一读。 (8) 在need, want, require等少数表示“需要”的动词后的动名词用主动形式表被动意义: The plants want watering every day. 这些花草得天天浇水。 This wall requires repairing. 这面墙需要修理了。 以上结构中的动名词改用不定式则要用被动式表示被动意义: This sentence needs explaining to

35、 be explained. 这个句子需要解释。 它们后接名词时也可表示被动意义: It needs no explanation. 它无需解释。 This plan requires careful consideration. 这项计划需要仔细考虑。 三、介词短语用主动表被动的六种情形 (1) “beyond+名词”: The rumor is beyond belief. 这谣言难以置信。 The children were beyond control. 这些孩子不听管教。 这类表达中的名词前通常没有冠词,且该名词一般都具有动作意义,类似的结构还有beyond compare(无可比拟

36、),beyond description(难以形容),beyond (all) doubt(毫无疑问),beyond expression(无法形容),beyond suspicion(无可怀疑),等。 (2)“in+名词”短语: When was paper money in use in China? 中国什么时候开始使用纸币? Please do not enter the classroom while a lesson is in progress. 上课时请勿进教室。 这类表达中的名词前通常没有冠词,且该名词一般都具有动作意义,类似的结构还有 in action(在运转),in s

37、ight(看得见),in (good) repair(维修良好的),in store(贮藏着)等。 (3) “in course of+名词”短语: The new railway is in course of construction. 新铁路正在兴建当中。 The goods ordered are now in course of shipment. 定的货正在运输途中。 有些类似的短语有the表被动,无the表主动: in charge of 负责 in the charge of 由负责 in possession of 拥有 in the possession of 被拥有 (4

38、)“on+名词”短语: The building is on fire. 那幢房子正在燃烧。 Every article on view will be on sale. 每件展品都将出售。 这类表达中的名词前通常没有冠词,且该名词一般都具有动作意义,类似的结构还有on trial(在试用),on display(在展出),on show(在展出),on exhibition(在展出)等。 (5)“under+名词”短语: The new music hall is under construction. 新的音乐大厅正在修建中。 Your proposal is under consider

40、使用),above reproach(无可指责,无可非议),above suspicion(不受怀疑),above criticism(无可指责),within sight(看得见)等。 李亮:高考英语听力提高技巧 高考听力试题中对话部分是在一男一女之间进行的,对话围绕一个生活场景或者一个具体的话题展开,针对对话的问题在试卷上与三个选项一同给出,答案就在三个备选项之中。 怎样听好对话呢?本章将根据对话题型的基本特点,来介绍六种主要对策: 一、捕捉对话中的重点信息 人们在表达自己的思想、观点时,话语中包括主要信息、次要信息和冗余信息。有人说话简明扼要,句句入扣,这说明他的话语中主要信息占主导成分

41、;也有人说话罗罗嗦嗦,半天说不到点子上,这是由于话语中的冗余信息过多的缘故。实验证明,人们在听本族语时,并不细听每个词句,而将精力集中在语义和说话目的的理解判断上,也就是说将注意力集中在主要信息上,因而在语流较快的情况下连续听音并不觉得累。这个道理也同样适用于听力测试。就高考而言,所谓主要信息就是指最能满足答题要求的信息;次要信息是指与答题没有直接联系,但有助于对答题理解的信息;冗余信息则是指重复或无关的信息。一个好的应试者应善于捕捉主要信息,利用次要信息,排除冗余信息,使自己在听音中处于主动地位。 怎样捕捉对话中的主要信息?哪些是对话中的主要信息?本节将分四个方面逐一向大家介绍。 1. 领会

42、对话中的重点句 按照对话中男女双方的说话次序,我们把先说话者定为speaker 1,后说话者定为speaker 2。根据对大量试题的统计,所提出的问题有90%左右都与speaker 2说话内容有关。 M: Do the students have to do any homework? W: Yes, they are given homework once every two days. Q: How often do the students have to do their homework? W: Can I come to see you at 10:00, Professor Br

43、own? M: Im sorry, Susan. But Im meeting my students then. Why not come half an hour later? Q: When should Susan go to meet Professor Brown? 从以上的例题中可以看出,speaker 1的谈话通常以疑问句或叙述句的形式出现,提起问题,引出话题,起抛砖引玉的作用;而speaker 2则以某话题做出解释或回答,表明观点和态度。因此speaker 2的谈话往往是提问中要回答的内容所在,务必听清楚并理解其语义,这样就能把握住对话的关键。但这并不是说speaker 1的

44、说话内容就可有可无,因为两者之间有逻辑关系,听清speaker 1的话语,能引起我们对某话题的注意,进入角色,从而加深对speaker 2话语的理解。另外有一小部分题目是针对speaker 1提问的,也不可掉以轻心。 2. 抓住话语中的意流指示词 意流指示词是指在句子开头或句子与句子之间具有逻辑关系的某些连词、副词或词组。如yes ,sure, certainly, of course, no, sorry, well, not really, why not, but, however, yet, besides 等。请不要小看这些词或词组,它们连接的句子或句子成分往往是说话人要强调的内容。

45、 1) 语气性意流指示词 其中yes , no, sure, certainly, sorry等表明说话人态度与反应的语气性意流指示词。一般说来,如果在句子开头听到yes , sure, certainly,of course则表明说话人对某事的肯定或赞许;如果是no, not really, sorry,I am afraid则表明说话人对某事反对或不同意。这样根据对话中的意流指示词,我们可以知道说话人的基本态度。 W:Have you finished your homework yet, Bill? M: No, and Im not going to. Q: Will the man

46、do his homework? A) Yes, he may do it. B) No, he doesnt want to do it. C) Yes, he will by all means. 根据男方在回答时出现的“no”,我们即可排除选择项中肯定性的答案A、C,选择与听力原文意思相近的答案B。 W:Do you remember the film about “Gone with the Wind”that was on TV last week? M: Sure. We watched it together. Q: What do we learn from the conve

47、rsation? A) The man saw a film in the cinema. B) Both of them watched the film on TV last week. C) The film will be shown on TV next week. 女方问是否记得上周在电视上播放的“乱世佳人”时,男方首先用sure这个肯定性意流指示词,表示同意女方的话题,接着又出现了together,因此很容易确定B为正确答案。 这里需要注意的是,如果speaker 1以Would you mind doing sth. 提问,则yes ,no的用法与上面所说的意思相反。 M: E

48、xcuse me, do you mind my sitting here? W: Oh, no, of course not. Q: What does the womans answer mean? A) She doesnt want him to sit beside her. B) She doesnt like him at all. C) Please sit down. 由于would you mind doing sth.是“你介意不介意”的否定性问句,回答时用“no”,是不介意的意思,表示同意,因此C为正确答案。如果女方回答时用yes,说明她介意,也就是表示反对。 2) 转折性意流指示词 but, yet, however, b
