4. 求《英语常用词多用途词典》（金盾出版社）电子版

下面的内容是我从“英语词汇网”yywords找来的一部分，但更多内容需要收费：《英语常用词多用途词典》节选a[eI, E], an[An,En] art.1.一(个、件、本、张等)：This is an English dictionary. 这是一本英语词典。/ It was an easy task. 那是一项容易的任务。2.任何…都：A square has four sides. 正方形有4条边。/ A dog is usually bigger than a cat. 狗一般比猫要大。3.每(一)：We drink tea twice a day. 我们每天喝两次茶。/ How much a meter is this cloth? 这块布多少钱一米？4.某，某一个：In a sense you are right. 在某种意义上你是对的。/ A Mr Smith phoned just now. 一位名叫史密斯先生的人刚才来过电话。【用法】1.在表示泛指意义的单数可数名词前应加不定冠词 a / an，不要从汉语习惯出发，漏掉此不定冠词，如不能说：Her father is famous poet.(应在is后加a) 2.不能与指示代词、物主代词、名词所有格等连用，如不说my a good friend，可改说a good friend of mine。3.原则上说，不可数名词前不能用不定冠词，但是，若不可数名词在一定情况下转化为可数名词，其前可用不定冠词。另一方面，可数名词在一定情况下也可转化为不可数名词，这时其前的不定冠词也随之消失：a complete Lu Xun 一套鲁迅全集 / a good wine 一种好酒 / a success 成功的人或事 4.在序数词之前使用a (an)，可以表示数量或序数的增加：Do you want to read it a third time? 你还想看第3次吗？5.与most连用，表示“非常”“很”等：This is a most interesting story. 这是一个非常有趣的故事。6.与副词quite, rather连用时，a (an) 一般要后置，但若其后的名词前有形容词修饰，则a (an) 放在quite, rather之前或之后均可以：It was rather a busy day. = It was a rather busy day. 那天相当忙。/ He is rather a fool. 他是个大傻瓜。但不能说：He is a rather fool.(因为名词前无形容词，所以错误) 7.当too, so, as, how等词之后接有“形容词+单数可数名词”时，不定冠词a (an)应放在形容词和单数可数名词之间：She is too kind a girl to refuse. 她是个好心肠的女孩，不会拒绝的。/ He’s not as honest a man as I thought. 他不像我想象的那样诚实。8.不定冠词可用来表示类属，即表示某一类属中的每一个都能反映该类属的整体情况，此时也可用定冠词或名词复数形式来表示：A tiger [The tiger, Tigers] can be dangerous. 老虎是危险的。注意，不定冠词不能用来表示整体类别的特性，如下例中的the不能换成a：The tiger is in danger of becoming extinct. 老虎有绝种的危险。/ Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876. 亚历山大·格雷汉姆·贝尔于1876年发明了电话。【辨析】a (an), one：(1)两者均可表示“一”的意思，有时可互换：About a [one] thousand students attended the meeting. 大约有1 000 学生参加了会议。/ A [One] Mr Smith wants to see you. 一位名叫史密斯先生的人想见你。(2)两者的区别在于：①从词性上看：a (an)是不定冠词，主要表示类别，即着重表示其后的名词是某物，而不是其他物；而one表示“一(个)”时是数词，主要表示数量，即强调在数量上是一个，而不是两个或多个。比较：Give me a dictionary. 给我一本字典。(此处强调的是：我要的是一本字典，而不是一本教材，也不是一本小说等) / Give me one dictionary. 给我一本字典。(此处强调的是：我要的是一本字典，而不是两本或多本字典) ②由于one是数词，着重数量意义，所以当要强调数量、进行数量对比或回答how many的提问时，均应用one，而不能用a (an)：He has only one pen, but I have two. 他只有一枝钢笔，但我有两枝。/ I want one box, not five. 我想要1个盒子，不是要5个。/ “How many friends do you have here?” “Only one.”“你在这儿有多少个朋友？”“只有一个。”③在某些表达中，两者均可用，但含义不同：at a time 每次，同时 / at one time 一度，曾经；as a man 就一个人的性格而论 / as one man 一起，同时，全体一致地 ④在某些表达中，两者均可用，虽含义相同，但表达不同：on a hot summer afternoon 一个炎热的夏日的下午(注意用介词on) / one hot summer afternoon 一个炎热的夏日的下午(注意不用介词on)；an hour and a half 一个半小时 (通常不说one hour and a half) / one and a half hours 一个半小时；a minute or two 一两分钟 (通常不说one minute or two) / one or two minutes 一两分钟abacus[5AbEkEs](pl. abacuses, abaci) n.[C]算盘：operate [use, work] an abacus 打算盘abandon1[E5bAndEn] vt.1.离弃，丢弃：The car was so badly damaged that it had to be abandoned as a total loss. 汽车损坏严重，只好彻底报废。2.遗弃，抛弃：The poor little puppy had been abandoned. 那可怜的小狗被人遗弃了。3.放弃：The project had to be abandoned for lack of funds. 工程因资金匮乏只得放弃。◇abandon oneself to 沉溺于，纵情：He abandoned himself to despair. 他自暴自弃。‖abandoned a.被抛弃的，被放弃的，报废的 / abandonment n.[U]放弃【用法】1.abandon A for B 与abandon A to B意思不同：前者表示主动地为了B而放弃A，后者表示被动地放弃A让B取得：He decided to abandon medicine for literature. 他决定弃医从文。/ They abandoned their lands to the invading forces. 他们丢下土地，遭侵略军占领。2. abandon the car, abandon the city, abandon the village等搭配中都有冠词，而abandon ship这一结构在现代英语中通常不用冠词。3.习语abandon oneself to(沉溺于，纵情)中的to是介词，故后接动词时用动名词：They abandon themselves to drinking. 他们沉湎于饮酒。类似结构有：apply oneself to (doing) sth 专心于做某事 / devote oneself to (doing) sth 致力(献身)于做某事 / resign oneself to (doing) sth 听任(顺从)做某事abandon2[E5bAndEn] n.[U]放任，纵情◇with abandon (1)放任地，放纵地：cry with abandon 任性地哭 (2)尽情地：dance with abandon 尽情地跳舞abbreviation[E7bri:vI5eIFn] n.[C]缩写词，缩略语：“Dr” is an abbreviation for “Doctor”. Dr是Doctor的缩写词。/ In this dictionary “sth” is the abbreviation for “something”. 本词典用sth作为something的缩写。【用法】要表示“…的缩略语”，其后通常接介词for，有时也用介词of：“GB” is the abbreviation for [of] “Great Britain”. GB是Great Britain的缩写。ABC[7eIbi:5si:] n.1.(常连用one’s)字母(表)：Does the boy know his ABC? 这男孩认识字母了吗? 2.[S](常连用the)入门，基础知识：learn the ABC of swimming 初学游泳 / an ABC book 初级读本◇as easy as ABC 非常容易ability[E5bIlEtI] n.1.[U]能力：I’m behind him in ability. 我的能力不如他。/ I’m sure of his ability to cope with this. 我肯定他有能力应付此事。2.[U,C]才能，才智：a man of great ability 本领高强的人 / The boy shows remarkable ability at mathematics. 这男孩显示出非凡的数学才能。◇to the best of one’s ability 尽自己最大努力：She did the work to the best of her ability. 她已尽了力去做那项工作了。【用法】1.表示有能力做某事或具有做某事的能力等，其后通常要接不定式：He has the ability to speak English fluently. 他能流利地说英语。/ The ability to be clearly heard is extremely important for news readers. 声音洪亮清晰对新闻广播员来说极为重要。偶尔也可后接 of doing sth，但远不如接不定式普遍：I admire his ability of doing the work quickly. 我羡慕他工作做得快。2.表示抽象意义的“能力”时，不可数；表示不同种类的能力时，可用复数：listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities 听说读写能力；侧重指天资或才能方面的能力时，可数或不可数均可能，有时可用复数形式：Everyone admired his abilities. 大家都敬佩他的才能。【注意】1.able的反义词是unable，但ability的反义词不是unability(此词在英语中不存在)，而是inability。2.inability和disability是由ability分别加否定前缀in-和dis-构成的，但两者意思不同，前者表示“无能力”“无才能”，后者表示“失去能力”“伤残”“残疾”。able[5eIbl] a.有能力的，能够，能干的：He is an able lawyer. 他是位很能干的律师。/ He made a very able speech. 他做了一次漂亮的演说。◇be able to 能，能够：I won’t be able to come. 我将不能来。/ He was able to speak five languages. 他能讲5种语言。/ You should be able to get there in time. 你应当可以及时到达那里。/ I haven’t been able to get in touch with her. 我一直未能和她联系上。/ Not being able to understand English, he didn’t know what they wanted. 由于他不懂英语，他不知道他们要什么。‖ably ad.能干地，巧妙地【用法】1. able的比较级和最高级通常是abler和ablest，也可以是more able和most able，有时还可用better able和best able：You are better able to do it than I (am). 你比我更有能力做这件事。/ She’s the person best able to cope. 她是个最能妥善处理问题的人。2. be able to do sth 中的不定式通常用主动式，一般不用被动式，如可说：He can’t be understood. 但很少说：He’s not able to be understood. 3.表示使某人能做某事，英语习惯上不用make sb able to do sth，可改为enable sb to do sth：I gave him full directions to enable him to find the house. 我向他作了详细说明，好让他能找到那房子。(若改为help sb to do sth则更通俗) 4.表示很能干或很有能力，可用very, extremely等修饰；表示能做某事(用于be able to)则多用quite, well, perfectly等修饰：He is a very able manager. 他是位很有能力的经理。/ He is quite [well] able to take care of himself. 他完全可以照顾自己了。【注意】able的反义词是unable(不能的，不会的)，不是disable，后者是动词，其意为“使残废”“使无能力”；disabled 也可用作形容词，表示“肢体有残疾的”。【辨析】be able to, can：参见can。aboard1[E5bC:d] prep.在(船、飞机、车等)上，上(船、飞机、车等)：He was already aboard the ship. 他已上船。/ We travelled aboard the same flight. 我们搭乘同一班机。【用法】aboard 本身可用作介词，所以类似 go aboard on the ship(上船)中的介词on是多余的。但是，有时可后接介词of：go [come] aboard (of) a ship 上船 aboard2[E5bC:d] ad.在船(飞机、车等) 上，上船(飞机、车等)：Welcome aboard. 欢迎乘坐本机(车、船)！/ The boat is ready to leave. All aboard. 就要开船了，请大家上船。/ It’s time to go aboard. 该上车(船或飞机)了。【用法】用作副词的abroad 与on board同义：go aboard = go on board 上船(车或飞机)，get aboard the train = get on board the train 上火车

5. 修正英语句子.还有造句

①for example造句：
You can buy fruit here - oranges and bananas, for example.  
你可以在这里买水果，例如买柑橘和香蕉。

②显然你的句子里是把separate作动词的，那么其后就要用宾格
Nobody can separate me from you.

③lack 这个词既有动词也有名次，很容易搞混
lack of的lack是名词，意味“缺乏...”“...的缺乏”----absence or shortage (of sth that is needed) 
如：a lack of care, money, water 缺乏关心、 金钱、 水 

注意一下这个例句：
The project had to be abandoned for (这个“for”相当于“because of”) lack of funds. 工程因资金匮乏只得放弃.（注意点：其一，这里没有“a”，由于缺乏资金；其二，上面说过了，lack是名词，不要以为是动词，而把它改为lacking）

lack作动词时，是不用于被动的，
而且一般直接用做及物动词，缺乏某物直接说lack sth，
如：lack creativity, self-discipline, courage 缺乏创造性、 自制力、 勇气 
后面加介词for，表示need sth ，即“目的”，或者理解为“欲望”，即不“想”要
如：They lacked for nothing, （They had everything they wanted.） 他们无所需求（已应有尽有）

又有：be lacking in sth 的意思是：not have enough of sth 不足; 不够: 
如：be lacking in warmth, courage, strength 缺乏温暖、 勇气、 力气

③I have too muck love,so I think 【I】 can give you some.----think后面跟一个宾语从句，要不上主语I

④compared with造句
Social life in a village cannot be compared with that of a large city.  
乡村的社会生活不能和大城市的相比。

顺便提一句，compared with和compared to都可表示“与...相比”，除此之外compared to还可表示“将...比喻成（比作）...”，如：
Life is poetically compared to the morning dew.  
在诗歌中，人生被比喻为朝露。

6. 阅读题答案

7. 根据句意填词（每小题0.5分，满分5分）小题1:I _____________(祝贺)him on his election just now.小题2:

     小题1:congratulated 小题2:obey 小题3:occupied 小题4:adjust/adapt 小题5:abandoned 小题6:declared    小题7:aware  小题8:witnessed  小题9:otherwise/or  小题10:beneficial         试题分析：小题1:congratulated 动词祝贺congratulate，该词该词固定结构：congratulate sb on sth祝贺某人某事。小题2:obey 动词遵守obey，与后面的名称the law形成搭配。Obey the law遵守法律。小题3:occupied 固定搭配be occupied with sth忙于某事；be occupied in doing sth忙于做某事；小题4:adjust/adapt 动词适应adjust/adapt；通常与介词to连用。小题5:abandoned 动词抛弃，放弃abandon； 本句是一个被动语态的形式，所以使用过去分词的形式。小题6:declared  动词宣布declare，往往都指宣布重大事件。小题7:aware     固定搭配be aware of意识到…；后面接名词后在动名词在句中做宾语。小题8:witnessed  动词见证，目睹witness。小题9:otherwise/or  副词否则，要不然otherwise/or表示上下文的转折关系。小题10:beneficial    形容词有益的beneficial，构成固定词组be beneficial to…对…有益。点评：单词拼写考察实词居多，特别应注意名词单复数的变化，动词时态语态的变化，形容词和副词的变化，以及虚拟语气等具体语法的使用。    

8. 网申时，Source of Fundings怎么填

留学个人陈述PS是Personal 
Statement的简称，是我们申请美国研究生院的重要材料之一。一份完美的PS有可能使你申请成功的机会大大增加，同时PS也是很好的认识你自己的过程。通过写PS，你将更了解你自己，清楚自己想要什么样的生活，理清自己为什么要去美国，以后将要成为什么样的人。

这对申请者来说至关重要，对admission 
officer来说，PS是你唯一有机会向他们展示一个鲜活的你的材料。成绩单是死的，GRE和TOEFL分数是死的，而他们要找的是一个活生生的人，是一个有血有肉有思想的人，他们在众多的申请者中寻找最适合他们的那一位，你如何认识你自己?你的motivation来自哪里?你将来如何打算?这些东西都可以帮助他们走进你，了解你，认识你，然后决定是不是接受你。

U of Washington的admission officer指出，他们会把申请者分成四等："Admit with guaranteed 
funding, Admit with potential funding, Tabled (a sort of admissions purgatory), 
and Reject." It is in the case of "Tabled" and "Admit with potential funding" 
applications, the admissions officer reports, that the personal statement can 
make a real difference: "If there is a good match between the applicant's 
research interests and the particular strengths of the school, this can bump 
them up a level or two in the hierarchy of admission."

如何写留学个人陈述?从PS教程中，我将总结出写PS的各项注意点，一步步教你怎么写PS，希望对大家有所帮助。

Preparation

PS的精髓在于将自己的motivation和Objective充分展现出来，它应该是personaland analytical, 
任何generalization都需要避免，PS的关键在于用specific, personal 
details来展现你的个人魅力和强烈的motivation。

写PS时，要尽量完全的真诚。这是诉说一个你自己的故事，你不是在设法创造一个理想的申请者，而是just be 
yourself。任何的伪造都是很容易被识破的，只有完全敞开的真诚，才能真正打动admission 
officer，也才能真正的认识你自己，才能真正让你选择最适合你的graduate program。

用specific details来展现你的motivation很重要。这些specific 
details可以包括研究和工作经历、课程、你跟你所感兴趣的领域的人的交流、你读的书、你参加的学术报告会，以及任何可以展现你为何选择并适合这个研究领域的原因。

你需要明确你未来的方向，至少为自己未来5~10年的事业做一个规划，而这个规划应该很适合你所申请的这个graduate 
program，那也正是你选择这个领域的原因。

描述为什么这个graduate program适合你，不要用一些空洞的赞美性的语言，一定要be specific, be 
analytical。

一定不要出现一些粗心的错误，那只能证明你不够认真对待。

避免说一些空洞无意义的套话，避免陈词滥调。这里可以举个例子。

修改前：In the first project Imanaged, I learned many valuable lessons about 
the importance of teamwork.

修改后：In the first project Imanaged, I made an effort to incorporate all my 
colleagues as equal members ofa team, soliciting their feedback and deferring to 
their expertise as needed.

修改前的这句话很空洞的讲team 
work，没有任何details;修改后的话就展开讲了我是怎么展现teamwork的。在写PS的时候一定要注意展开这些细节。最好的方法就是以自己的亲身经历开始，让那些展现你的quality和personality的东西自然流露出来，你的那些品质不需要总结性的generalities, 
人们会从你对自己经历的specific details的描述判断出你有哪些quality。

不要企图把你所有的经历都写进PS里，PS追求的不是广度，而是深度。好的PS是深入挖掘一个或两个主题、时间或观点的细节。

注意避免敏感话题，因为你不知道admission officer的个人偏见。

不要用冗余的长句。短句更加有力，因为他们更加direct和to the point。举例：

修改前："My recognitionof the fact that the project was finally over was a 
deeply satisfying momentthat will forever linger in my memory."

修改后："Completing theproject at last gave me an enduring sense of 
fulfillment."

像the fact that这种词就是完全冗余的。
