[备考日记] paulapaula的复习~（回来了！！！咬着煎饼给大家写机经哈哈！）

今天上午自测了一下，用的是Longman的课本Complete 2

情况不是非常乐观，一向比较有把握的听力错了3个，还有一个题其实没听见是猜对的，难道因为最近没有好好听写……阅读一般，3个，又是一个细节两个词汇，哭，没有什么长进啊……口语先不谈，作文贴在下面，希望大家能指点

Part 1 我把Longman的答案也打上来吧，方便参考：

TOPIC OF READING PASSAGE: library at Alexandria (ancient library)

description of library: founded by Ptolemy 1;expanded by Ptolemy 2; had 300,000 to 700,000 scrolls

how scrolls obtained: borrowed or bought and copied by hand;from foreigh powers in trade; from citizens in payment of debts; from ships in port

TOPIC OF LISTENING PASSAGE: how library was destroyed

thought to have been destroyed bu Julius Caesar: JC invaded port of Alexandria(48-47BC);JC's forces set ships in port on fire;fire could have spread to library

clues that JC did not destroy library: library mentioned in literature long after time of JC; monement to destroy temples and libraries in 4th century

以下是我的作文

The reading material gives a brief introduction of the marvelous library of Alexandria, including its establishment and the process of its expanding, while the lecture discusses about when was the library destroyed and who should be accused. Though it was traditionally believed that Caesar should be the one but recent evidence goes against this assumption.

According to the reading part, the library was founded by Ptolemy 1 and greatly expanded by his son, Ptolemy 2 and following owners. They tempted to gather every Greek work as well as many works from other parts of the Western world. Since the amount of the scrolls reached unbelievably between 300,000 and 700,000, extraordinary huge number of people was employed to copy the scrolls and prepare them. Ptolemy 2 collected scrolls by means of exchanging them with goods, demanding citizens to hand in manuscripts to pay debts to the government, and copying all the manuscripts discovered on trading ships.

A debate has lasted for long on when the library was destroyed and who did it, as illustrated in the listening material. Caesar used to be blamed for the loss of the library due to the fact that he ordered to set fire to all the ships in the harbour when he invaded the city of Alexandria. It was believed that the fire went all its way from the harbour into the city and thus burn down the library. Several references of the library after the death of Caesar, however, are found and prove that Caesar could not be the destroyer. The explanation that is widely received nowadays is that the library, or at least part of it, existed until late 4th century and then was destroyed in a movement, aimed at destroying all the libraries.

As it is presented above, the history of the library of Alexandria started at the time of Ptolemy 1, once came to be gorgeous to have a considerable collection, and finally ended in the latter half of the 4th century in some movement, instead of the destroy caused by Caesar.

Part 2

What are the characteristics of a good leader? reasons and examples

As the society develops at an extraordinarily fast speed, the attention put on the characteristics of a good leader is increasing accompanied with the undeniable fact that the status of a leader is ascending all the time. From my point of view, a qualified leader should be both passionate and responsible, to give faith into his team and lead it towards success. 

First of all, a leader could not be the aula" datetime="2006-09-15T11:27">unreplacableaula" datetime="2006-09-15T11:27">irreplaceable core of a team without passion. Working in a group, all the members are facing great difficulty in dealing with external problems as well as internal relationships. If the leader doesn't have the ambitious to be excellent, it is impossible for him or her to encourage everyone to overcome the difficulties by all means; on the other hand, if the leader focuses on the work itself too strictly all the time, it is hard for the whole team to work at a good efficiency aula" datetime="2006-09-15T11:29">sustaineously aula" datetime="2006-09-15T11:29">for a long period due to the ignorance of the feelings of the members. When the team members lose hearts or feel too tired to go on, they need a passionate leader. As the famous saying goes, when we let out our own shine, we give others the permission to do the same. That is exactly the role the passionate leader should play in a team: providing the members faith of solving all kinds of problems and holding on in whatever situation. 

Second, responsibility is definitely an important standard of an ideal leader. The responsible leader should make all the necessary decisions considering the profit of the whole team instead of that of his own, plan for the future development taking all possible situations into account other than being caged in the short-term ones, and afford the results of the aula" datetime="2006-09-15T11:30">unproperaula" datetime="2006-09-15T11:30">improper actions of the team without hesitating to protect his so-called reputation. Let me quote the famous example of Steven Jobs from the Apple. When the company got a falling profit as a result of his misunderstanding of the trend of the market, Jobs left quietly and tried hard to improve himself. Then he returned to the company when it was in huge troubles and brought it back to the peak of the industry despite all the aula" datetime="2006-09-15T11:30">rumousaula" datetime="2006-09-15T11:30">rumors around. It is his responsibility of the company that allowaula" datetime="2006-09-15T11:30">s him to contribute in the glory of the Apple. 

From what has been discussed above, the conclusion could be drawn that the passion and responsibility are necessary for a respectable leader. The leader should be able to inspire the team members with his great target and consideration of all the members. Meanwhile the capability of leading with correct attitude out of the responsibility is of giant significance.

我的作文水平不太好，就不参与作文点评了。有关背单词，王玉梅应该够了，具体背法可以参考 http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardid=19&id=190151

作文建议准备一本李笑来的《TOEFL iBT高分作文》，里面有185篇范文，另外建议买一本新东方的《挑战托福作文满分》，里面有很多不错的指导方法，具体请点击我的签名档“教材汇编”。不过这两本书主要解决独立写作，当然也可以帮助口语的前两题。有关综合写作目前还没有特别好的书，OG和Delta里面关于作文的部分可以参考。（Longman里面的综合写作有不少是听力材料支持阅读文章这一类型的，实际考试几乎都是反驳型的）。

建议做了Longman之后还是多做OG和Delta。

谢谢各位前辈的关照，明天就去买Delta……

要开学了，课业会很重，争取每天保证两个小时以上的复习吧，词汇我还会加油的，毕竟在用旧托阅读练习的时候觉得还是有进步的，iBT阅读接着练习吧，相信会有好转的：）

看来综合写作部分还要多多加油，独立作文部分多多学习~

各位CD同仁一起努力吧！今天刚考完的大家终于可以好好休息了，bless~~

昨天在这里守到12点，没想到考试的大家这么辛苦啊……看了前辈们的帖子，充分意识到形势的紧迫性

今天已经去买了delta及山衔前辈推荐的《挑战TOEFL满分作文》，浏览过目录，定了一下十一之前这两周的计划：

以Delta和OG为主。之前的Longman看来各方面要求都不够，所以这一阶段力度平衡到四个方面。

由于刚开学比较混乱，时间零散不好安排，写作文的进度稍微放慢一点，一周每样写一篇吧，其他阅读听力口语每项每天Delta 1 quiz + OG 1 exercise，尤其是听力要适应高标准了。这两周把《满分作文》的2.1,3.2,4.3章节看完，且每天看一篇范文修改。词汇按照“17天”那个模式把李笑来21天再背一遍。

这样算起来，每天应该也要3-4小时的工作量了吧……sigh，今天下午先去实践一下……

说实话，心情比较沉重。我不是招摇的人，把110分的目标拿出来是希望能得到大家的监督。感觉暑假的复习抓的还是不紧，现在进度挺紧张的。没关系，十一之前还有两周，还有十一，十一之后还有两周。为了复习，暑假、十一都不回家。既然决定了，就好好走下去。

共勉。bless昨天没有考成的大家好运。

今天因为要写一篇专业课论文作业，没时间复习了阿……

鉴于明天开始上课，就先暂停一天吧。不过看到那个听写李笑来185的牛前辈还在孜孜不倦，真是汗颜。

昨天经过试验觉得Delta的练习量比我想象的大得多。听力一段完整对话听完了只考一两个重点训练的题型，所以听力做1.1，1.2，quiz1就花了我将尽1小时。看来以后要更抓紧才是。所幸没有想象中的那么难，只是做笔记的速度被longman宠的太慢了，听懂还是没问题的。至于阅读，还要好好体会。

明天开始，词汇、作文、阅读、听力、口语、还有传说中的可怕专业课。一起加油。

共勉。bless能重考的大家苦尽甘来，马到成功。

不知楼主几年级了，如果是还没到大四，建议把专业课放在第一位，大多数情况下（以在校学生身份申请的话），GPA是申请中最重要的部分，越高越好，如果老师分数控制严格，也要争取专业前几名，我见过太多把精力放在T/G上，结果GPA不理想而申请失败的例子了（或者申请到较差学校，或者没有奖学金），都是很可惜的。

一般GPA至少3.0，越高越好。
