自学考试英语(二)专项练习(含答案)
自学考试英语(二)专项练习(含答案)
自考英语(二)部分为英语基础的核心。现阶段制定核心任务。
如何学习备考英语
1.利用教材学习
英语词汇,通过对英语句子的了解,可以看出英语的分类。
2.利用自考英语单词学习
要整理单词、语法等基础知识,利用考前的时间学习。
3.利用考前复习平台
在报考后,大家可以通过历年真题了解考试重点和题型分布。
英语(二)考试主要涉及的知识点之一,涉及英语名词的变化,记忆有很大的变化。
英语(二)主要考察:考生的单词、语法、句子和句子的意思,所以说和掌握词汇的差别。
自学考试英语(二)学习技巧
英语词汇,了解,记得练单词。再有考试单词记忆用笔,坚持在单词的时候,一定要把单词放在第一位,单词和句子的意思,重复,这样不断地重复,会使单词掌握的速度。
语境记忆,不要进行题海战术,要大声地背记单词。
自考英语(二)学习技巧,单词是非常简单的,特别是一项“背单词”的基础,阅读理解做题最好了解,如果遇到不会的,就无从下手。
利用零碎时间学习
英语是一个月学完单词,要多看,多做些练习,因为单词本身就比较困难,真的这么多的时候背了,自然知道如何减分,根据语境来进行复习,至巩固单词了。
多做历年真题,多刷真题,巩固基础,很多题型的套路其实就都一样,如果因为自己做过某个题,每天都要背,忘了,实在是可以多分的,总之,自考的题目一般都是考一些基础性的题,基本上是比较简单的。

你能在一分钟或更短的时间内读完这些短文吗?也许现在你该停一下,提醒自己注意一些能帮你读得更快的重要问题。
检查一下以下几点,以确定你做得正确无误。
你当始终自左至右移动目光,始终向前。
别再回头看已读过的字句。
别把每个词分开来读。
要学会看句群。
读时别出声。
还要牢记你无须每词必读。
找到主要的名词和主要的动词。
如果想保证自己在读时不至于找不到地方,你可以手指放在行下。
但别随目光自左至右移动。
你的手指应当放在一行中间的下方。
目光要不停地移动。
一定要在每次阅读中这样练习。
同时,记得每天做做眼部保健。

的时间在工作上,并通过传真,手机,电邮或其他通讯方式与之联系.因此,员工们感觉到必须了解公司所发生的事,即使他们已经下班了.
他们有加班的压力,从而完成自己的所有工作.他们工作更加努力,时间更长,
并且换工作更为频繁,并且对工作安全担忧.
