在研究完专八历年试卷的人文知识部分后,总结出以下几点:

1、英语国家地理概况 4分

2、英美文学部分 3分

3、词汇部分 3分

这十分分值虽然相对较小,但覆盖面挺大,比如地理概况就包括六个英语国家的基本知识,复习起来似乎有点力不从心,其实不然。

I、先拿第一个来说,地理概况无非是注重英美两国方面,在复习其他四个国家时不用那么深入,只要知其一二即可(首都/首府总得记吧?),而英美方面的知识对于我们英语专业的学生来说应该有所了解,只是没有系统地去整理,如果在整理一遍之后,我想会柳暗花明!当然如果你本身一直以来对各个国家都相当了解,那我说你已吃定这4分。

II、英美文学方面就有点头疼了,特别对于那些在平时对它忽略不计的朋友们此时根本不知道从何下手,不用慌,你慌也没用,只有拿起课本,将一个个作家对应他们最有名的著作(最简单的复习方式)列在一起,进行归类,即可。如果想全部拿下这3分就要再关注一些他们的写作特点,作品中的主人公等。

III、这部分在我看来是最容易拿分的,复习的时候只要将sytax, semantics, pragmatics,等概念弄清楚,把Chomski和另外有名的语言学家对应的理论记一下就可。当然这是对那些平时不鸟语言学的朋友说的。对于平时认真听讲也想稳拿这3分的还要系统的总结一下,做到疏而不漏。

《失乐园》写于 1667 年,是弥尔顿最杰出的诗篇,全诗长约一万行,分 十二卷,故事取自《圣约·旧约》。诗人弥尔顿(Milton)经常在其诗歌中引用希腊罗马神话,如《失乐园》(尽管《失乐园》取材于圣经,但其中引用了大量神话典故)。

叙述人类始祖夏娃和亚当因受撒旦引诱,偷吃知识树上的禁里,违背了上帝旨令,被逐出乐园。诗人写这首诗的目的 在于说明人类不幸的根源。他认为人类由于理性不强,意志薄弱,经不起外界的影响和引诱,因而感情冲动,走错道路,丧失了乐园;夏娃的堕落是由 于盲目求知,妄想成神;亚当的堕落是由于溺爱妻子,感情用事;撒旦的堕 落是由于野心勃勃,骄傲自满。诗人通过他们的遭遇,暗示英国资产阶级革 命也由于道德堕落,骄奢淫逸而惨遭失败。
