考研英语写作美文素材三十六篇（2017推荐）.pdfVIP

精选新概念必背优秀文章 36篇 1 - 1 经典教材精选的美文 这个优秀文章36 篇是我从新概念三、四的教材里精心挑选出来的，其中新概念 三20 篇和新概念四的16 篇，从贴近考研英语的角度来筛选，剔除了大部分的记叙 文和说明文题材，主要就是论说文了。 这些精选出来的文章作为必须背诵的素材。原来的文档很多都有或多或少的小 错误。这里我都精心对照过，并且尽力避免出现错误。 以前那个版本只有20 篇文章（新三 12篇，新四 8篇），有网友反映排版使用不 是很方便，这里重新排版。另外字体用稍微大一点的5 号，眼睛会舒服一点，还可 以做一点点笔记，不过页数会增加一点。 蓝色加粗是考研重点词汇，要从课文句子中掌握其用法，不是很熟的最好查一 下牛津或者其他词典；加阴影紫色字体是考研用短语和句型。划线的重点要熟练应 用的句子，尽量应用到作文中去。 对这36 篇文章最好是听写、翻译、背诵一步步来。先把文章听写出来，然后翻 译成中文，再把中文翻译成英文，最后背诵。不过这个过程很花时间，但是也能提 高英语能力。如果单纯考研应试，英语不想考那么高分，而其他科目需要的时间多 点，那就只背诵吧。 背诵是一件很痛苦的事情，实在背不下来，可以给自己定一个量的要求：“50 遍啊 50 遍！”甚至更强的“100 遍啊 100 遍”读了50 遍以上就算背不出来也很熟练 了吧。 语言是背出来，模仿磁带的读音，大声跟读大声的背，将可以达到听说读写齐 头并进。 新概念三 Lesson 14 A noble gangster 贵族歹徒 There was a timei when the owners of shops and businesses in Chicago had to pay large sums of money to gangsters ini return for protection. If the money was not paid promptly, the gangsters would quickly put a man out of businessi by destroying his shop. Obtaining protection money is not a modern crime. As longl ago as the fourteenth century, an Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood, made the remarkable discovery that people wouldl rather pay large sums of money than have their life work destroyed by gangsters. Six hundred years ago, Sir Johan Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a band of soldiers and settled near Florence. He soon made a name for himselfi l and came to be known to the Italians as Giovanni Acuto. Whenever the Italian city-states were at war withi each other, Hawkwood used to hire his soldiers to princes who were willing to pay the high price he demanded. InI timesi of peace, when business was bad, Hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state and, after burningi down a few farms, would offer to go away if protection money was paid to them. Hawkwood made largel sums of money in this way. InI spitei of thisi , the Italians regarded him as a sort of hero. When he died at the age of eighty, the Florentines gave him a state funeral and had a pictured painted which was dedicated to the memory of the 精选新概念必背优秀文章 36篇 2 -
