小编导读：6月考试季袭来，高考、四六级、期末考统统来袭~连教研君都感到压力山大（under a lot of pressure），忙碌了一个学期的你，甚至是为高考寒窗苦读几年的你，准备好了吗？现在就和沪江教研团队一同来学形形色色的和考试相关的英语吧。

为了顺利通过考试（pass the exam / test），不考砸（mess up / blow / bomb the test），避免考试不及格（fail the exam），免于参加补考（take a make-up examination），同学们使出浑身解数，各出奇招。当然，准备小抄作弊（cheat on the exam）之类的想法还是趁早打消吧。俗话说的好，“Honesty is the best policy.”诚信考试实乃上上策，认真复习是王道呀。

今天教研君就带领大家一起来看看小A和小B是如何应对考试的吧。

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很久没见小B，原来小B最近忙于准备期末考试（final exam），天天在图书馆发奋复习。在英语中，“忙”除了可以用busy，occupied来表示，还可以像小B那样说“get one's hands full”，或者说“up to one's neck”，忙得不可开交。小B担心自己考试过不了，在考前挑灯夜读“burn the midnight oil”，临时抱佛脚“cram for …”。“熬夜、开夜车”就是“burn the midnight oil”，或者用“stay up”，“pull an all-nighter”来表达。“cram”做动词用时表示“填入、塞满”，用“cram for the exam”来表示临时抱佛脚、填鸭式记忆是不是很形象呢？小B同学天真地幻想这是开卷考试“open-book test”，但这一概率几乎为零，还是跟着认真做笔记的小A同学好好复习（review）吧。

用图表梳理一下以上口语表达，助自己一臂之力吧！

好啦，今天就学到这里吧。要考试的同学加油啦~掌握技巧、认真复习，调整心态、轻松上阵吧！
