小編導(dǎo)讀：6月考試季襲來，高考、四六級、期末考統(tǒng)統(tǒng)來襲~連教研君都感到壓力山大（under a lot of pressure），忙碌了一個學(xué)期的你，甚至是為高考寒窗苦讀幾年的你，準備好了嗎？現(xiàn)在就和滬江教研團隊一同來學(xué)形形色色的和考試相關(guān)的英語吧。

為了順利通過考試（pass the exam / test），不考砸（mess up / blow / bomb the test），避免考試不及格（fail the exam），免于參加補考（take a make-up examination），同學(xué)們使出渾身解數(shù)，各出奇招。當(dāng)然，準備小抄作弊（cheat on the exam）之類的想法還是趁早打消吧。俗話說的好，“Honesty is the best policy.”誠信考試實乃上上策，認真復(fù)習(xí)是王道呀。

今天教研君就帶領(lǐng)大家一起來看看小A和小B是如何應(yīng)對考試的吧。

A: Hey! I haven't seen you in weeks. Where have you been?

B: Hi! I've got my hands full lately. The final exam is drawing near. I've been in the library preparing for it.

A: How's it going?

B: Not so good. In fact, I was so worried about my geography that I burned the midnight oil to cram for it last night.

A: You stayed up all night? That's why you look so tired.

B: Yeah. How I wish it's an open-book test!

A: You know what? Come to my house tonight and I will help you review it. I took down everything the professor said in class.

B: Many thanks. It's really nice of you.

A: It's my pleasure.

小A很久沒見小B，原來小B最近忙于準備期末考試（final exam），天天在圖書館發(fā)奮復(fù)習(xí)。在英語中，“忙”除了可以用busy，occupied來表示，還可以像小B那樣說“get one's hands full”，或者說“up to one's neck”，忙得不可開交。小B擔(dān)心自己考試過不了，在考前挑燈夜讀“burn the midnight oil”，臨時抱佛腳“cram for …”。“熬夜、開夜車”就是“burn the midnight oil”，或者用“stay up”，“pull an all-nighter”來表達。“cram”做動詞用時表示“填入、塞滿”，用“cram for the exam”來表示臨時抱佛腳、填鴨式記憶是不是很形象呢？小B同學(xué)天真地幻想這是開卷考試“open-book test”，但這一概率幾乎為零，還是跟著認真做筆記的小A同學(xué)好好復(fù)習(xí)（review）吧。

用圖表梳理一下以上口語表達，助自己一臂之力吧！

好啦，今天就學(xué)到這里吧。要考試的同學(xué)加油啦~掌握技巧、認真復(fù)習(xí)，調(diào)整心態(tài)、輕松上陣吧！
