As a Jackofalltrades he was content to be master of none, choosing to do many things well enough rather than anything supremely well. Accordingly, versatility became another outstanding American attribute. In public affairs the mon man agreed with President Jack that any intelligent citizen could discharge the duties of any governmental office. He had an abiding suspicion of the theorist or the “ scholar in politics”, preferring to trust his own quick perceptions and to deal from day to day with matters as they arose. In his breadwinning pursuits the American flitted freely from job to job in marked contrast to the European custom of following occupations which often descended from father to son. This passage was written to explain . A. what Europeans had done supremely well Americans did just as well B. Americans preferred to try many jobs at a time C. versatility was typical of Americans D. Americans didn’t want to be masters Example 2 Cheer up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. First of all, it is important to plan.

Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for her support is looked upon with disfavor. The main idea of this passage is A. one woman in five is a housewife C. even the nonworking women try to earn money Example 4 Personal relationships are very important. They are the key to do business in Arab countries, Try to identify the decisionmaker regarding your product or service immediately and get to know him on a friendly basis. Do your homework. Be prepared to discuss details of your product or proposal. When an Arab says yes, he may mean “maybe.” When he says maybe, he probably means “no”. You will seldom get a direct “no” from an Arab because it is considered impolite. Also, he does not want to close his options, Instead of “no”, he will say “in shallah” which means “if God is willing”. On the other hand, “Yes” does not necessarily mean “yes”. A smile and a slow nod might seem like an agreement, but in fact, your host is being polite. An Arab considers it impolite to disagree with a guest. The paragraph discusses, in general, A. personal relationships C. technical questions Example 5 There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live.

New inventions will someday allow us to do。這是一個段尾主題句作為全文主題的 典型例子。第一、二段具體描述猶太人和日本人對孩子的培養(yǎng)，以說明 hard work 的重要作用，第三段總結前兩段的內(nèi)容，闡述了一條事實:hard work 和 biological inheritance 在神童的培養(yǎng)方面 起著重要作用。作者在第一段首先提出了自己要論證的主題（The appeal of advertising to buying motives car have both negative and positive effects） ，第二、三段以正反兩方面的典型事例 進行論證，最后在篇尾作出結論（For example, some advertisers have appealed to people’s desire for better fuel economy for their care by advertising automotive products that impove gasoline mileage） 。 flashing(閃光) anticipant(期望的) aged(年老的), pointed(尖的) cyclical (參 cycle), scenic(參 scene) en fy ize (ise) th logy ar, er, eer, or ee ian ess let age hood ancy, ency ance, ence ion, ation ity, ty ment ness dom ship ant, ian ing ant ed ic(al) 6 版權所有，不得翻印 作者：湯良斌 后綴 ous ary, ory some able, ible like ish ive ful less ly al ist y 表3 復合名詞的構成規(guī)則 名詞+名詞 名詞+動名詞 形容詞+名詞 動名詞+名詞 動詞+副詞 副詞+動詞 過去分詞+副詞 表4 意義、作用 構成形容詞 構成形容詞,表 …的 構成形容詞,表 具有…性質 構成形容詞,表 可…的 構成形容詞,表 象…的 構成形容詞,表 有…特性的 構成形容詞,表 有…特性的 構成形容詞,表具有…特性。身份。超過 五個(倍)的 過后的 預先的 心理(上)的 再次,又。向外的 預先,提前 水(力)的。六級考試中需著重掌握的前綴，后綴，構詞法列表如下： 現(xiàn)將四例如： ⑦ One reason for this is that municating with vehicles in orbit is much easier than talking to those underwater. A vacuum is an ideal medium for radio munications, but underwater munications are limited to much slower sound waves.
