1. Newspaper English
“Learning a language is not merely an academic exercise. Students of English want to be able to use the language they have acquired in the same way as English people use it. They not only want to understand spoken English and to make themselves understand; they also want to be able to appreciate English television and radio programmers, to laugh at English jokes, to sing English songs and to read English newspapers. This last wish often gives rise to some disappointment, when for example, the student who has passed his exams with top marks and has earned the commendation of his teacher finds that he is quite unable to understand the newspapers which he knows English people read every day. He realizes that he lacks something.
“The deficiency is not entirely his fault. The difficulties in the fact that British newspapers have a style all of their own; or-rather-each paper has its own individual style forming part of a general journalistic pattern which we may loosely classify as ‘Newspaper English’. The more popular dailies use a chatty, slangy, up-to-the moment way of writing, which, as often as not, leaves the foreign reader very bewildered, if not under a totally false impression. Here is a typical piece of such reporting:
Curvaceous Patricia Potts, the girl with the smashing silhouette who was Scunthorpe’s Dish of the Month in October-the dishiest dish in the area-was dished up with a dish of trouble on her way home from bingo last night. Two would-be muggers tried it on in Dark street near her home, but she sent them packing with handbag a-whirling, nails a-scratching and platform clogs a-kicking.
“Even the most conscientious student might be forgiven for giving up at this point. And yet it must be realized that this style carries no problems for the millions that read every day.
“Headlines are another problem. The English reader scans the headlines to find out what the news stories are about; the foreign student has to read the stories to find out what the headlines mean.
“The popular press, in order to print as much information in as small a space as possible, had developed a content-packed sentence, very often crammed with compound words of a highly complicated nature, that needs to be treated warily at first. For example:
Warwickshire police announced late last night that Arthur Prentice, a 35-year-old lorry driver of Babblesthorpe, Cambridgeshire, wanted in connection with the disappearance of 17-year-old Glenys Dennis from her home in Cambridge last March, had been arrested in the Solihull area of Birmingham and was helping police with their enquiries.
There are at least 15 facts in this one sentence. Such has to be digested slowly. If the student of English attempts to absorb a lot of this sort of thing at speed, he will understand very little of what he has read...”

1. as often as not: quite frequently
2. curvaceous: having many curves, of shapely female figure
3. Scunthorpe’s Dish of the Month in October-the dishiest dish in the area-was dished up with a dish of trouble ...
Dish of the Month: the attractive girl of the current month
the dishiest dish: the most attractive girl
was dished up with a dish of trouble: was given a kind of trouble that some people had prepared for her.

1、查重网站是否正规
选择查重网站最重要的一点就要确保该网站是正规的,毕竟论文的安全问题才是第一位,以免造成论文泄露的问题。要选择那些比较热门而且口碑比较好有品牌效益的查重网站,如paperfree就挺不错的,可以体验边修改边检测,而且每个被查重出来的重复内容都会给出相似的来源,可以让我们一眼就知道该句是不是重复的。
2、查重网站的数据库
查重系统的数据库数据是否足够庞大是检测结果准确性的必备要求,虽说各查重系统的数据库不同,导致查重的结果也会不一样,但通常那些收据库较大的结果都会相对准确一些,因为如果比对的数据库小了就可能会导致很多内容都检测不出来。
3、不要合篇检查
我们在进行查重的时候,有一点尤其需要注意,千万不能为了节省自己的检测费用,本来需要分开检测的两篇文章,合成一篇统一一起进行查重,要知道这样得到的检测结果一般都是不准确的。很可能你合篇检测时没有显示抄袭重复的内容,当你修改后单独去进行第二次查重时就被标红,从而浪费时间精力。.
找外文文献一般有以下几种方法:
作为一名科研人员,一些刊物的网站应该是随时扫视的。比如我们物理领域的一牛期刊PRL,prl.aps.org,如果知道过刊的卷页,也可以直接定位下载。
比如上面举例的prl,就属于美国物理学会aps,那么aps.org就是物理学会的所有刊物网站,比如PRA、PRB、PRC、PRD、PRX等等。还有elsevier,springer等几大集团,里面刊物是包罗万象。
谷歌的scholar已无法访问了,不过可以试试scholar.bing.com,微软大哥的学术搜索。
现在有很多学术性质的社群,比如researchgate,mendeledy等。如果知道大牛可以去follow他们,就像小迷妹们follow明星一样。如果他们有新文章或找不到他们早期论文,不妨通过email联系一下,一般来说,科学家们都是喜欢把自己论文寄给他人的。绝对是有求必应。
第一次写完之后,用paperpass查了下,28%。wc,copy得有点多啊。感觉不太靠谱,因为很多抄的反而没有查出来。但是对着pp的查重报告修改,然后再用知网一查8%,嘿嘿,还不错嘛,在毕业要求以内了。发给老师之后,又是一顿大改,有删有添,在提交到学校之前又tb买了一个,查出来4%了。然后随随便便修改了一下,提交到学校,查重结果2%了。
一点降重小经验:
1.如果担心重复太多,也可以像我一样多查几次重,缺点就是费钱,我前前后后花了500块钱吧,这样可以把控自己交到学校查重的时间。第一次就选pp系吧,维普太他吗变态了,然后对着pp系一顿大改,然后在提交到学校之前,在tb买一个跟自己学校一样的查重的吧。学校用知网,就tb一个知网,学校用维普就tb一个维普。
2.知网的重复比较好修改,标重复的文字,主动改被动,被动改主动,语序交互,同义词替换,实在没招了,谷歌翻译为阿拉伯语,然后在阿拉伯语翻译为中文,如果还没有怎么改动,就删了。
本科的时候,维普查出来20%,也在学校要求之下,就提交到学校,结果知网查出来5%。
总结,维普最变态,其次是pp系,知网比较轻松
