1、最后 30 天创造考研英语分的神话http:/ 2004-12-14 考研加油站 北京新航道学校 印建坤老师 【字体:大 中 小】距离考研还有一个月的时间,此时此刻一定有很多同学认为自己已经到了能力的极限,认为自己的英语成绩已经无法改变了。可是对于喜欢并且一次又一次创造神话的我而言,我认为这种想法是根本错误的,你也可以创造一个月的神话。只是神话需要方法,神话需要你在这个月里付出神话应有的代价。建议大家在考试的时候解题的顺序如下:完型写作翻译 阅读七选五。因为历年的试卷答案分布是有规律的,例如,完型填空共有 20 个题目,每个题目又有 4 个选项,所以用 2045。如果我们假设一个变数为 X,并
2、且设 X 的范围是 A、B、C 和 D,那么我们就可以推断 51X5+1,则X4,6 。即 20 个题目中选 A、B 、C 和 D 的题目数量都控制在 4 到 6之间(阅读理解也遵循这个规律)。那么所有的题目如果都选择同一个答案的话就有可能得到 5 个题目是正确的,那么你就可以得到 3 分。写作中的小作文,只要你把本书指定的相关文章记忆,得到 6 分不是很难,主要是看格式;而大作文一般得到 10 分一半也是很容易的事情。翻译,只要使用本人的“剥洋葱式结构分析法”得到 5 分很容易。阅读的“秘密”其实并不是同学们想象的那么可怕,同学们可以参照冲刺班的相关材料相信得到一个及格的分数应该是可以的。而
3、至于 7 选 5 新题型,因为以前没有原始数据供我们分析,所以我建议我们放弃,能拿多少算多少,完全看运气。此时我们就已经可以拿到 48 分了,应该说这个只是一个保底的成绩,另外 2 分的增长点在哪里?完型是最主要的 2 分的增长点,方法是只将自己认为肯定正确的进行选择,因为我们不可能一个都不会的,即使最差的学生做对 3、5 个还是很正常的,而将所有不确定的题目都选择同一个选项,这样就有了另外的 2 分。但是以上的所有的分数的前提条件是本人一再强调的:“剥洋葱式结构分析法”+历年真题阅读理解中的不认识的生词+ 新增 200 词汇。缺少这些条件一切都不可能。重点复习是阅读理解、翻译和写作重点是阅读
4、、翻译和写作,必须要确保直至考试前每天看英语三到四个小时,“根本不必要天天看,天天看就是卖药”这种说法是根本性的误导。阅读而言,大家一定要把我上课讲解的解题思路和理念烂熟于胸。最好的办法是利用 7 天左右的时间专项复习考研阅读的各种解题思路和逻辑。而“考试大纲参考”上的例题是最好的练习材料。翻译建议大家不要做太多的练习,而是应该把“考试大纲参考” 上的翻译题做烂做透彻。写作小作文一定要背,大作文必须掌握本书的建议句型和建议背诵的文章。考研其实就是一个体现木桶效应的考试,决定你最后能不能考上研究生不是由最长的木板决定的,而是由最短的木板决定的,因此考虑一个问题英语是不是最弱项,因为木桶装水容量由
5、最短的木板决定的,而英语如果是你的长项的话,在最后考试阶段,能对于其他的一些科目比如政治、数学或者专业课的复习更加专注一点。英语复习的捷径 利用好历年真题英语复习中大家很容易忽略的一个捷径就是通过历年真题背单词提高阅读质量。如果你在做历年真题的过程中把遇到的大纲上有的单词就在大纲上划下来,划到最后你会发现,仅仅所有的阅读就包括了大纲上所有的单词。把这些文章就象学习课文一样的认真分析以后多多阅读,熟读,好的甚至能够达到背诵,大纲上的单词也就基本上全部解决了。并且同时通过分析题目还能掌握出题思路,找出作题技巧。一举多得,何乐不为呢?然后等你研究完完型填空、英译汉、还有原来的单词填空。这些单词就基本
6、上没有什么问题了。只需要每周作几篇阅读理解练练手,找找感觉就可以了。当然这些单词要不时的回头熟悉,不能背过了就把它仍在一边不管了,一直保持到考试。 据统计,在考研英语四十篇中所有大纲的难词和难的意思都包含进去了。也就是说这些单词真正的掌握应该是在精读真题的过程中,四十余篇真题需要篇篇精读。 其中超纲词不足 3%,常考词,会反复出现。这是最有效、直接而且保险的考研单词学习方法。由于复习时间有限,这一点就变得很重要了。 关于考研英语阅读的一些经验: 真题就是一切 ! 我的一个朋友分析得很有道理。那么多命题组专家一年只专心出一套真题。题目出得不可谓不精,处处陷阱,题题要命。而辅导书的老师们一个人呼啦
7、啦一下子出了那么多套题,其命题质量不可能与真题相比,甚至会把你的思路带偏。 其实,考研的真题足够你复习之用,不必再花大量金钱和时间让其他阅读辅导教材贻误时间甚至误导你。 在真题阅读里学单词,在真题里提高阅读能力,在真题里悟出解题要领。 上次提到,新东方的阅读老师周雷说,真题四十篇里涵盖了所有大纲难词的常考用法。所以真题首先是深化词汇学习的蓝本。 其次考研文章的选材特点都有承继性,句子的复杂程度、文章的难度和常考的领域都有重复性,选用其他的阅读材料未必与考研贴近。 所以精读真题,深入分析每一篇文章的难句结构、段落结构,熟悉常考领域的词汇和引伸的意思是你提高考研阅读水平的捷径。 因为考研阅读是阅读
8、水平达到一定水准之后才可谈及的技巧。所以精读真题是提高你考研英语成绩所必须下的扎实功夫。一切空谈的技巧都不完全灵验,比如阅读手记中老王的那些总结也只有你的阅读功夫过硬时才会悟得到他的所指, 如果你照搬原话生吞活剥,大概是不灵的。当时我在复习的时候每天只做一至两篇阅读很慢很慢,但很扎实,力求捉住作者和出题者字里行间的所有秘密。一段时间之后我觉得很有效果。 另外,真题不应只重文章轻解题。 在你读通文章后, 还有一件事情要做,就是仔细分析题目和答案。考研的题目陷阱很多要慢慢领悟。 关于真题的题目: 考研英语的题目出得很细,但此细不在细节上。你必须对作者的态度把握好,你必须洞悉作者观点的变化之处,这些
9、讲起来就比较细了。我先说说总体的体会吧。 首先,这些题目都是中国命题专家根据中国学生的习惯思维和做题习惯出的,因此很多题目都非常容易做错,而且如果你总是按着自己的思路想的话,还会越想越觉得题目出得离谱。等隔一段时间再做一遍,你会发现,上次做对的还是对的,上次做错的还是错的。这是去年和我一块复习的几个学友无一例外的经历。如此不知悔改地一直练到考试,你的做题水平也不会有令人惊喜的进步,或者说不能稳稳地拿到阅读高分。 关键的问题就是:出题人不是你,是那些整天琢磨着怎么整倒你的专家们。 而且他们的这些阴谋不是你能左右和改变的。 所以你只有一条路了:改变自己,忘记自己的思路把自己的思路拼命往专家的思路上
10、靠,靠得越近就越容易做对题。这个靠的过程,你可以从手头上的阅读参考书上,从网课上得到一些启发,但他们只是启发你而已,消化还得是在做真题的过程中不断地总结和体会。 总之,在这里我强调的就是千万不要忽略了历年真题的作用,把他利用好,能给你带来事半功倍的效果,省心、省时、省钱,而且还高效率。大家都重视起来吧。一、完形填空得分要领该部分要求考生所选答案使补足后的文章意思通顺、前后连贯(注意:连词、逻辑关系词)、结构完整。其测试重点包括:语法结构、固定搭配、近义词汇辨别、逻辑关系、上下文推理、语篇连接蹬,其中有 1215 道题考查词汇,58 道题考查语法和篇章结构。1、 语法结构知识:这部分在英语知识运
11、用中占 40虚拟语气: If I were you, I would pursue the research and carry on the experiment until I get a result. 短语“would rather”(或 had rather)是虚拟语气的一种形式,后面接省去“that”的从句,从句中动词要用虚拟语气,其形式为动词过去式。例如:Id rather you went by train, because I cant bear the idea of your being in an airplane in such bad weather. 与 “wou

13、本质的,基本的important 重要的 insistent 坚持的;紧迫的 necessary 必要的preferable 更可取的,更好的 B、 常见的动词有:advise 劝告;(医生的)意见 demand 要求 insist 坚持认为(should+动词原形);坚持说(时态一致)(insisted 后面用一般过去式) propose 提议,建议;提名,推荐;求婚 order 命令 recommend 劝告 request 请求,要求 require 需要;要求 resolve 决定 suggest 建议(should+动词原形);暗示(时态一致) urge 力劝;催促非限定性动词:动词

15、ister + isD、 every of the sister + is 定语从句得谓语应与先行词一致。 表示时间、重量、距离等得复数名词表示总量时,谓语动词要用单数形式。例如:Two days is enough to finish writing this paper.2、 词汇要熟记常用词组takeas 把作为 take after 与相象 take apart 拆卸 take away 消除,消耗take down 记下,写下 takefor 把认为是,把看作是 take in 接受,吸收;了解,理解;欺骗 take off 拿走;脱下;起飞 take on 呈现,具有,装出;接纳,

19、篇的第一句,一般情况下也不会使最后一句。试题在一般情况下不可能有特别明显的词汇,句子等语言方面的提示,而是要求考生着眼于全文,在理解全文内容、语篇结构、逻辑关系(如时间、地点、因果关系、从属关系等)的寄出上做出正确的选择。三、应用文写作这个项目不仅要求考生具有较扎实的语言基础,还要掌握应用文和短文写作的基本实用技能,熟悉段落结构特征,同时还要具备分析、综合信息的能力和较丰富的想象力。 表格题 漫画题1、应用文写作试题概述(是真正意义上的应用文,比如求职信)、应用文的基本类型2005 年新增的对应用文写作的考查,可能性最大的依次是:书信、通知、启事、应用文写作的格式和写作要点本部分要求考生在规定
