Please be prepared for that. Lastly, we also have planned some games, so you might better take both casual clothes and suits if you want to play with us.

大作文：选课进行时

What an awkward dilemma! It has been common for contemporary college students whether to select a course of new technology, great innovations, and some challenges, or to choose one of more credits, little homework, and a high pass rate. Clearly, the boy in the picture has no idea.

The principle reflected by the cartoon is thought-provoking: a tendency that students seek easier courses is prevalent among many universities. More students are inclined to enjoy tangible happiness and indulge themselves in entertainment. In contrast, less would take the challenges in front of them with courage and overcome the difficulties they encountered.

In my view, selecting easy courses is plausible for a very short term because humans have an instinct to avoid harm in life. However, the hardship is inevitable in the long run. Pursuing easiness will make one become undertrained and might lower personal competency in the oft-fierce job market. Indulgence is pleasing for short but dangerous for long.

The Cultural Hotpot There is a hotpot standing in the middle of the picture, containing various kinds of food with different names such as swan lake, enlightenment, Confucianism, etc., as if all of them were mixing perfectly and harmoniously. The caption under the cartoon says: the cultural hot pot is both delicious and nutritious. The cartoon intends to illuminate that our culture is not an isolated island where folks only absorb things that they are familiar with. What we need to assimilate, however, is cultural features from different nations and various races. And by this means, the hotpot would be so delicious and nutritious that everyone in this society can relish what they have achieved eventually and can unconsciously affect each other afterward. In my viewpoint, diverse cultures enormously broaden ones’ horizons. In other words, whatever we are in touch with, it may provide a different way in which we see the world where there may be another treasure in an unnoticed corn...

小作文：推荐信 Dear El, It has been a long time since we had a chat last time. How have you been these days? Recently I watched a movie Braveheart on Netflix and thought you might love it as well. So I recommend this epic and historical movie to you. The first reason is the protagonist William Wallace-a Scottish warrior-shows his perfect acting skills and real medieval life to the audiences. Second is that you are a big fan of history, so you will learn many historical backgrounds of conflicts between England and Scotland, which were fierce at that time. Last but not least, the film also advocates the spirit of freedom and the fight against unjust fate. I hope you would enjoy the movie, and I am looking for your reply. Have a nice day! Yours sincerely, Li Ming 大作文：谈环境 There are two youngsters, in this drawing, sitting on a boat who chatter and smoke happily.

词缀讲解后缀篇之“ous”

在上一期已经简单介绍了 ‘ive’ 这个后缀，后续再考虑补充该后缀的其他性质。本期主要讲解后缀 ‘ous’，希望能帮助到大家~~ 先举几个以ous结尾的单词： mysterious curious felicitous (幸福的) homogeneous （考过。同质，相似的，数学中意为齐次，homogenous equations“齐次方程”）很多同学认为以 ‘ous’ 结尾的单词是形容词，所以ous是形容词后缀。但是知道ous是形容词后缀几乎对于我们背单词没有任何帮助，因为还有大把其他后缀（‘ic’, ‘ical’, ‘ish’）同样也是表形容词，所以仅仅知道是形容词这一点信息量太小，不仅对于记忆（memorize）单词没有帮助，反而加大背诵的负担。故如何区别不同后缀是提高的关键。重点来了，ous有以下几个用法：表数量多、富足（richly possessing）表性质（of the nature of）表相似（like）第一个性质表数量多估计很多同学没有意识到，主要讲一下这个含义，因为最常见，而且可以用来解释很多单词的意思。 Mysterious 先来个简单的，神秘的。Mystery + ous，很多神秘的事 => 神秘的。 Hilarious Hilarity“高兴，欢乐” + ous。很多欢乐 => 快乐的，通常指非常好笑，比happy更甚。Hilary（希拉里）作为人民也是此意。 Luciferous 难度稍大，意为带来光的，该单词由三部分组成 luc “光” + fer “带来” + ous “多”。 luc = lux 是光 “light ”的词根。其中 x = eks（讲过），e和u合并为u（元音变化无所谓），k = c（发音相同），s辅音省略。举个例子帮助同学们记忆lux：玩过英雄联盟的肯定知道里面有个女英雄叫拉克丝，那么她的英文名就叫做 Lux ，就是光的意思啦。她的所有技能（光芒四射、光明束縛……）都与光有关，应该有画面了吧？如果女同学没玩过英雄联盟的也有一个记忆的方法，去逛一下超市肯定能找到力士（lux，读音相似）洗发水，没见过的同学去京东买一瓶 ^_^。洗发水的目的当然是让头发更有光泽啦，所以取名力士lux。 fer作为词根意为带来（carry）...

词根“volv”相关单词讲解

本期是具体解析词根的第一篇，先从volv讲起，因为这是我在文章中第一个提到的词根。希望大家能记住能够，然后更方便地背单词。本期主要讲解volv相关单词，volv(Latin)作为词根是拟声词，模仿旋转的声音，是从原始印欧语’ wel ’演化而来，不需要掌握wel，有个印象就行。 volv的作为词根以为“roll，turn around”，和旋转分不开，所以他的衍生词也都与旋转有关。注意vert（divert，convert）这个词根表示’turn’（转一次），而不是’turn around’（旋转）。本期大多单词为冷门低频词，虽说冷门，但是有很多是专业术语，相关专业同学应该比较了解。不过对于大多数人来说能有个印象就行，能记忆多少是多少，当作是词根记忆联想即可。 1. Voluble 健谈的，同义词：talkative, loquacious。由volv + able组成，字面义为能转的，可能是指说话人转动的舌头，或者是说话人滔滔不绝的状态。名词：Volubility。 2. Volume 意为“卷”，一开始是指书籍，第一卷，第二卷等。因为在书籍（有封面，页）出现之前，东西方人都用卷轴（scroll）写书或者作画（如图）。在书籍出现之后，之前volume的意思也保留了下来，虽然此时“卷”的意思已经不再明显。后来，volume的意思得到了拓展，还能指卷成的物体的体积，大小。再衍生出“音量”的意思，即为声音的大小。 voluminous，volume + ous（体积肥大的，卷帙浩繁的），都是讲过的意思，应该不难理解。 3. Volutation 意思和roll一样，由volutate（Latin） + ion合成。旋转的名词，比较冷门的一个词，不需要记忆。 4. Volute 意为，漩涡状的（adj.），涡形（n.）。注意并非是 Vol + ate组成的动词，而是由voluta（Latin）直接演变而来。 Volution：涡旋（n.），旋转。同样都是冷门词，应用场景较少。 5. Valve 阀门，不是value ！该词也和转有关，v社就是这个单词，搭配steam，很有感觉。 Valvo（沃尔沃）比喻轮子的转动。 6. Vault 保险柜，也和转有关（如图）。 7. Advolution 向某物发展，ad ‘toward’ + volv。向某个方向滚。 8....

考研高频单词讲解-7

56. helicopter 地上有个大H的就是停直升机的地方。 57. abandon ab + ban，去禁掉 \Rightarrow ⇒ 放弃。 58. province 省份。Pro + vince，其中 Vince 在这篇博文提到过，Pro “向前” + vince “conquer”，向前征服的地方 \Rightarrow ⇒ 地区（territory，region），省份。 59. reject Re ‘back’ + ject ‘throw’，向后扔 \Rightarrow ⇒ 拒绝。 60. select se ‘apart’ + lec ‘collect, gather’，分开来从中选择 \Rightarrow ⇒ 挑选，选择。注意 elect 和 select 的区别： e 在这里表示向外，向外选 \Rightarrow ⇒ 选举。 61. actual act 意为一个做过的事情（a thing done），al 表形容词，所以 actual 表示实际的，现实的。 62. capital cap 做词根表示头（head），所以 cap 在英文中是帽子。Capital 表首都（首 = 头），首字母（也和头有关）。因此 Capitalize 也表示首字母化。 63. species 一种（a kind or sort），物种（生物学）。spec表示看（look），所以这个单词可以理解为看一眼，也就是一种。所以在生物学领域的一种就是物种，在物理和逻辑学中都有这个术语，这里不做解释了。 64. specific 该单词也和 spec 有关，在尾部加上了 fic（做，make），为了某一个种做的 \Rightarrow ⇒ 特定的。要注意与 special 的区别，special 仅仅表示它代表了某一方面、种，而不是为了某一方面而制作（make）的，所以 special 是特别的，不是特定的。 Fic 意思是做，形成（form，make）也很常见，比如 figure 和 fiction 都与做有关。Figure 意思比较多，其中大多也和做有关，比如形状，图表，身材。Fiction ...

考研高频单词讲解-3

单词讲解第三节，let’go~ 21. federal 联邦的，最出名的就是FBI（Federal Bureau of Investigation，联邦调查局），顾名思义，美国是联邦制国家。但是美国在颁布《美利坚合众国宪法》（Constitution of the United States）前仍然属于邦联制（confederal）国家。 Federal和confederal的区别在于confederal通常是由多个国家组成，federal则是一个国家，比如欧盟可以称之为邦联。 Bureau如果记不住可以和politburo（politic + bureau，政治局）一起记忆。该政治机构由布尔什维克（bolshevik，俄语中意为多数派majority）首创。多提一句孟什维克（menshevik）是少数派，minority，前缀men和min实际上是同源的，可以相互加深记忆。同理bol就是多large的词根（不用记忆） 22. average 平均，做形容词、名词、动词均可。补充几个数学名词 Mean：平均数（adj.还有下流的意思），出现频率较高 Mode：众数。低频 Median：中位数。低频 23. avoid void，空，来自于vuide(古法语），学过c、c++编程的同学肯定知道void的意思啦。 evuider（e + vuider，向外变空）是法语的清空和避免，然后字母经过变形（元音变化）到了英语就成了avoid。西班牙语：evitar，避免。这几个单词虽然长得不一样，但是仔细分析实际上都是同源词根，某些元音和辅音稍作变化就成了另一个语言的单词。有能力的同学多记忆点别的语言的的单词还能加深印象。 24. casino 赌场，最著名的莫过于Las vegas了，来自于词根 casa’house’。 cottage就是由casa变化而来（s变成t，加age名词后缀）。 25. dam 大坝，鹿特丹（Rotterdam）和阿姆斯特丹（Amsterdam）中的dam取自该意。这两所城市都是属于Netherlands（荷兰，尼德兰），nether就是低，low的词根（同源词beneath，be nether。注意与neither区分开），所以荷兰又被称之为低地国家，海拔很低，所以需要大量建造da...

经济学人精读-1

本文是【经济学人精读】系列的第一期，第一次写，如有错误请大佬见谅O(∩_∩)O 本文出自2020-04-18期的科学和技术（Science and technology）板块。文章较短，比较符合考研文章的字数。主标题：The American west’s drought is its second-worst for 12 centuries 副标题：People are partly to blame 文章标题已经大体上描绘了行文的走向和作者的态度。考研的时候就没有这种好事啦，只有正文（通常也不是完整的）。标题没什么生词，需要注意drought是干旱，而不是dryness的同义词。Century源自于拉丁语centuria，然后提取cent作为”百“的词根，可以生成percent，centuple，centigrade（摄氏度，0-100，故得此名）等单词。 The south-west of the United States, together with adjacent parts of Mexico across the Rio Grande, is one of the driest parts of the North American continent. But, over the past two decades, even that expected dryness has been taken to the limit. According to Park Williams, who works at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the current lack of rainfall in the area constitutes a megadrought of a magnitude seen on only four other occasions in the past 1,200 years. Adjacent：邻接。同根词汇：adjacency matrix(邻接矩阵) Expected dryness：预料之中的干涸。Be taken to the limit：到达了极限。配合完成时态，可见dryness已经到达了极大值（Maxima, o...
