OG听力听完了，基本都错在图表题。这种题真是麻烦，听的时候也不知道该记什么，唉。不知道有什么好的方法没？

LZ今天没来签到哈？

我都忘记OG了，我干脆晚上再看看来弥补今天的胡混，然后和friskies讨论

等我哈

friskies，我刚才看了一遍OG的听力，发现确实图表题是个难点，我以前做的时候也错得多

可能要学会预测吧，比如OG里出个4个图表题，基本都是听力中出现对比或成对的概念出现，然后文章中讲了很多概念对应的因素，就象GMAT中阅读看到like，unlike要高度警惕一样，我们不能先看到题目就先预测然后竖起耳朵着重听那几点吧。

friskies的口语好不好？我来美国都没什么机会练啊，郁闷。

N人MM,  帮我看个阅读.  我知道这是你的强相.多谢了.

The languages spoken by early Europeans are still shrouded in mystery. There is no linguistic continuity between the languages of Old Europe (a term sometimes used for Europe between 7000 and 3000 B.C.) and the languages of the modem world, and we cannot yet translate the Old European script, Scholars have deciphered other ancient languages, such as Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian, which used the cuneiform script, because of the fortuitous discovery of bilingual inscriptions, When cuneiform tablets were first discovered in the eighteenth century, scholars could not decipher them. Then inscriptions found in baa at the end of the eighteenth century provided a link: these inscriptions were written in cuneiform and in two other ancient languages, Old Persian
                and New Elamite--languages that had already been deciphered. It took several decades, but scholars eventually translated the ancient cuneiform script via the more familiar Old Persian language:

 

Similarly, the hieroglyphic writing of the Egyptians remained a mystery until French troops unearthed the famous Rosetta stone in the late eighteenth century. The stone carried the same message written in ancient Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Egyptian hieratic, a simplified form of hieroglyphs. The Rosetta stone thwarted scholars' efforts for several decades until the early nineteenth century when several key hieroglyphic phrases were decoded using the Greek inscriptions. Unfortunately, we have no Old European Rosetta stone to chart correspondences between Old European script and the languages that replaced it. Tim incursions of Indo-European tribes into Old Europe from the late fifth to the early third millennia B.C. caused a linguistic and cultural discontinuity. These incursions disrupted the Old European sedentary farming lifestyle that had existed for 3,000 years As the Indo-Europeans encroached on Old Europe from the east, the continent underwent
                upheavals. These severely affected the Balkans, where the Old European cultures abundantly employed script. The Old European way of life deteriorated rapidly, although pockets of Old European culture remained for several millennia, ~ new peoples spoke completely different languages belonging to the Indo-European linguistic family. The Old European language or languages, and the script used to write them, declined and eventually vanished.

23. According to the passage, New            
    Elamite is                            
                                      
    (A) a language that was written
            in the cuneiform script         
    (B) a modem language that
            came from Old Persian            
    (C) one of the languages spoken               
            by the Old Europeans            
    (D) a language that was                   
            understood by the late            
            eighteenth century

给的答案是D.我选的是A.

我觉得D的时间by the late eighteenth century 不对啊.

A为啥不对呢?

多谢多谢.

注意以上蓝色highlight，连起来看，就是当cuneiform tablets在18世纪初次被发现的时候，上面就写着其他两个古老语言，其中就有elamite——已经被解码。说明18世纪末（late eighteenth century）就被understood了

A不对是因为文中只说明elamite和persian是和cuneiform（也是一种语言）写在一块的，所以学者们可以通过几种语言找到联系，但如果要总括这个elamite的特点，如题问，你不能说它老写在cuneiform script里，这只是特例罢了。

不知道能不能解释通，嘿：）

你说的有道理，以后听到对比概念的时候竖着耳朵听，呵呵。

我的口语练得机会也不多，基本能表达清楚自己的意思但是不注意语法，所以时态啊，he/she之类的混用很多，面对面说话的时候大多使用肢体语言辅助，人家听不懂我就换种方式再说一遍。日常生活交流还没碰上什么障碍，但是考试问题就大了哈。

呵呵. 要是IBT口语能有这个就好了.

还有问一下alexwithibt，你是过来人，是不是delta的结构，出题方式和真题比较相像？

听力难度呢？语速？

我只听说了选项设置是比较弱智的。

我今天开始做delta了，btw,是不是大家说的delta就是那个置顶的下载资料里编号08的，有PDF和cd的那个？难道不是模考软件？
