暴躁输出 | 让外刊成为我们的语料库

关于外刊语料的可靠又好用,这里不再累赘了,如果是刚开始接触了,可以看下这个推送

为什么用外刊提高写作分数是个靠谱的方式

Just Read 这个网站是从去年差不多这个时候开始累积内容的。最早主要是外刊打卡阅读的解析。当然因为职业习惯就加了很多和考试话题有关的文章,干脆取了一个名字,外刊语料


目前差不多一共是60篇语料。

呈现方式有的是直接下面的题目+文章链接 【题目下面的图片为链接】


有的是截取了外刊中和题目相关的句子【同样点击句子可以到外刊链接】


比如

这个题目

As the leader of a city, what would you do to ensure the prosperity and success of the city?

1. creating job opportunities for the unemployed;

2. lowering food price;

3. providing affordable housing

New York Times 的David Brooks 在 An Agenda for Moderates 里是这么写的

We are bound to society by our work. The second mission is to help people find vocations through which they can serve the community: wage subsidies, apprenticeship tracks, subsidies to help people move to opportunity, work councils, which are clubs that would offer workers lifelong training and representation.

这个片段里,表达上可以看到job 可以用 vocation 来替代;思路上来说可以看到通过 工作,人们可以serve the community,有一种归属感(sense of belonging)

又比如题目

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The government should offer Internet access to all of citizens at no cost. 

通过下面这篇来自华尔街日报的外刊文章

我们看到说 Internet 相关的服务不见得非得有government 来提供,Facebook 这样的公司也可以

The company is in talks to develop an underwater data cable that would encircle the continent, according to people familiar with the plans, an effort aimed at driving down its bandwidth costs and making it easier for the social media giant to sign up more users.

另外Google、Huawei 等公司也有类似的项目

同样下面这个题目

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?  It is a waste of money for government to fund space travel or space exploration.

Elon Musk 的Space X 和 Jeff Bezos 的 Blue Origin 都有类似的太空探索计划,不见得由政府来推进相关项目


还有

In times of economic crisis, in which field do you think the government can cut financial support?

1.Art

2.Science research

3.Parks and public gardens

通过下面这个文章,我们看到

在文末的时候也有类似的一段文字,说明gardens 对于人们的重要性,特别是对于现代人

The role that nature plays in health and healing becomes even more critical for people working long days in windowless offices, for those living in city neighborhoods without access to green spaces, for children in city schools or for those in institutional settings such as nursing homes. The effects of nature’s qualities on health are not only spiritual and emotional but physical and neurological. I have no doubt that they reflect deep changes in the brain’s physiology, and perhaps even its structure.

所以不管怎么,可不能cut 了 parks and gardens 的budget 

如果你是对语料有长期需求的,不管是教写作或者广义上教英语的,还是学习者。相信这是一个不错的提高能力和分数的方式。

网站的语料会继续更新…

费用上采用订阅的方式,以年为单位。一年的订阅费用为¥1999【可获得所有语料的入口】。【考虑到外刊本身的订阅费用和网站的运营成本,基本是非盈利的了】
