第一篇：北语2014英美文学专业 考研回顾
题目不起了好么？
亲爱的学弟学妹们，大家好~我本科的专业是对外汉语，考研选择的专业是英语语言文学，学校还是母校~如果各位有意向考相似专业的话本文或许会有些帮助。
决定考研并选择换专业的原因主要有两点。首先我个人认为本科学历在将来可能会比较吃力，水涨船高，所以我觉得考研也是个不错的选择。第二点，也是最重要的一点，是因为我对自己现在的专业不是很满意。不是专业不够优秀，而是我自己在对外汉这个专业中不够优秀，深层次的原因当然是不够热爱。花了3年多的时间也没能让自己爱上这个专业，反而是加深了自己对英语的热情，而在英语领域中我又最喜欢文学方向。英翻过于注重实用性，外语用又过于学术，我进去后估计和本科的结果一样。所以便选择了英美文学这个方向。至于学校嘛。。说实话，选择本校纯粹是因为本校比较好考~而且还能和很多朋友继续在一个学校学习而已。。
接下来是准备考试的过程。其实说真的我准备的过程是个很好的例子，只不过是反的而已。。大三下学期期末的时候我才决定考这个专业，当时可能是6月份。我上网买了6本文学选读，然后就开始像看小说那样开始读了。。回头再看，我认为当时的时间安排有些不好。应该有重点地看。重点作家的作品选读应当细看，非重点作家其实可以粗略一看就好了。这就涉及到哪些作家是重点哪些是非重点了，我建议最好买一本辅导书，比如我买的是星火英语的《英美文学考点精梳与精练》，这本书还是不错的。里面根据时间顺序对文学史有一个明确的分期，每个阶段都有名词解释、作者作品名和重要作品的选段分析，后面还配有各个学校的真题。（但是没有北语的。。）缺点就是印刷有大问题。不知是不是买到了盗版。。不少重要的作家名字都拼错了，所以一定要多方查证！我看的另外两本书一本是北语考研指定参考书，常耀信的《美国文学简史》，另一本是我自己买的，刘炳善的《英国文学简史》看的方法是开始一个新章节后先阅读一遍，把意思大概弄明白，同时划出重点的句子（比如作家明显的写作特点，某篇重要作品的内容、风格、意义等）然后找一个笔记本，按照不同的分期把每个时期的时间跨度、时期特点，重点名词解释以及作家的主要写作风格特点，重要作品名称和重要作品简介（简介可以先不整理，细读一遍也可）整理下来。另外我还在百度文库里找了些英美文学相关资料，其中就有不少作家作品介绍这样的内容，还是按照时间顺序分期的，有些还是不错的。
复习的时候做该校的真题是必须的，北语在找真题这方面非常困难，网上只有少量的学长学姐回忆版真题。。在这方面我又给大家提供了一个反例。我之前是在网上看到了北语英美文学的具体题型和范围了，但他说得很不详细，尤其是专业课的题型回忆得很零散。于是准备阶段我主要是靠做别校的真题为主。结果卷子发下来我就傻了，有道大题完全不会，后来完全是靠第六感做完的那道题。。所以我想大体说下北语英美文学的专业课题型。第一个是选择、填空，然后是名词解释，再就是给你一段作品中的选段，写出作家、作品名并解释划线句子（我就是栽在这里了）最后一题是essay，考的都比较灵活，比如今年就是就一个主题谈你的看法，要结合起码两部作品，英国美国各至少一部）。当然对真题自然是越熟悉越好了，网上有个爱北语论坛，里面有很多真题回忆还有学长学姐建议的，不过很多都在精华区，水点经验升下级就能看了。
接下来说一下准备过程中的“心路历程”吧。。一开始的话肯定是不紧不慢的，我这人就是有拖延症，好多事都是拖到最后关头然后玩儿命的干。这样特别不好，但我也不建议大家一开始就玩命儿学，没必要。一天学5、6个小时就够了，我是先把重点放在了专业课上，基础英语也买了本书开始做题（用的也是星火英语的考研基础英语部分，又开了一个积累用的笔记本，遇到好的用法新的知识点就记下来）二外因为我学过3年日语还有点基础所以没有花太多时间准备。如果你二外没怎么学过现在一定要抓紧了！日语的话范围是标日初级的两本书，中级上册可能会涉及一点，但是很少。政治我不建议现在准备，最好是考试前3、4个月再开始。因为政治很多是和热点结合的，看得太早了也没用。（政治参考书我选的是风中劲草系列还有肖秀荣的最后几套模拟卷，今年肖哥押中了几道大题，在下佩服得五体投地）
当然也有感到迷茫、紧张的时候。有段时间真的感觉自己成功考上的机会很小了，毕竟和我竞争的都是英语专业出身的人，专业课方面我应该不占优势。后期复习政治的时候也深感绝望，那些知识点怎么背都记不住，就像是在快要涨潮的沙滩上写字一样，有时候恨不得一整天都在看政治然后回头想今天学了什么，脑袋里却一片空白。但是这样负面的想法没有持续太久。我调整了自己的心态。一般面临比较大的挑战之前我都会想想这个事情最坏的情况是什么。当我发现最坏的情况不过是没考上的时候我就释然了。。不就是没考上吗，我可以找个工作继续准备一年，北语不要我明年可以去北外啊，未必就是坏事。况且考研失利，找份临时工作再二战这也是一个很宝贵的经历，多走些弯路才能锻炼人不是么。当我发现最坏的情况也没有那么坏之后我就放下了心中的包袱，光脚不怕穿鞋的嘛。我本身一无所有，了无牵挂，输了大不了从头再来。就这样我心态调整的还比较好，每天大部分学习的时间都能集中精力复习，甚至到后面都学上瘾了，开始享受这种充实的生活了。因为大学前三年的大部分时间我都荒废掉了，换来的只有空虚。也不知道自己应该做什么，每天都在瞎忙些什么。所以考研这段时间，朝着一个目标努力奋斗的状态我真的特别喜欢！有时候我都希望没考上，这样我就能继续维持着这样的生活状态了。。
至于后来的复试说多了都是泪。我只是建议大家一定要提前问清楚复试的范围。我理所当然地认为”专业课笔试”只是考英美文学而已，就没仔细找考试范围。结果复试两周前我才知道笔试要考（五个方向：现汉、古汉、英美国家概况、语言学、英美文学）当时就傻了，因为如果笔试不及格不管其他成绩如何一律不予录取。于是拼命地看书，幸好后来得知范围缩小了，取消了现汉古汉。但是对我还是很不利，毕竟有两本我完全没看过的书啊。那两周真是过得非常痛苦，恨不得吃饭的时候都在看。最后好不容易66分险过。复试的面试大家放平心态就好了，真的难度不大。日语就根据你的自我介绍看你的发音如何，再问几个简单问题。专业课用英语和老师们会话，他们可能会先问你一些学校、生活方面的问题，还问了我读过哪些英文原著，最喜欢哪个作家，然后问了一个跟那个作家作品相关的问题。总之还是要平常心吧，只管面带微笑就好，你的笑容会感染他人的，在一个友好的气氛中更利于自己的发挥。
希望以上的扯淡能给大家提供一些帮助。祝各位马到成功！加油！~

A summery of first two lessons
From the previous classes, we＇ve essentially get an brief idea of some basic knowledge about the United Kingdom.The main knowledge points can be concluded as follows:
The full name of the complicated country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.Britain is no longer an imperial country, though its past has huge effects.The two main effects respectively lie in Britain＇international relationships and the make-up of the British population.UK, as a multiracial society, has the remarkable class regional and economic differences.London, the capital and the largest city, is dominant in the UK in all fields.England, the largest in geography and population of the four nations, dominant in culture and economy.A British invasions history which experiences from stages.Scotland, the most confident of its own identity, has spent a history as a unified state independent of the UK.Scotland joined the Union by agreement of the English and Scottish parliament.A brief introduction to Wales.Northern Ireland has an active cultural life but has its problems because of the conflicts and the influence of UK.Irish desires for an indepent Irish state all the time, therefore issues accurred in frequent succession.The Home Rule Bill, the East Rising of 1916 and the Sinn Fein Party made Irish independent.There exists religious conflicts between the Irish and the British because of the ethnical distinction.British government organised a partition of Ireland as a compromise.More violent campaign, IRA＇s violence and Bloody Sunday.In order to halt the terrible conflicts, Ireland and Great Britain aim to cooperate with each other and arrive at a resolution.Finally, the Good Friday Agreement was emerged.Learning first two lessons has laid a good foundation for our further study on the following lessons.I＇m looking forward to comprehend more knowledge about British politics, economy, culture and foreign relations and so on.

SIR THOMAS MALORY
(1405-1471)
The OutlineI.SIR THOMAS MALORY
II.Morte d' Arthur《亚瑟王之死》
III.Questions for Discussion
.SIR THOMAS MALORY(1405-1471)
Life: He was very rich because he inherited a
considerable estate in Warwickshire(a county in west
central England)upon his father's death in 1433 and he
seems to have quickly become drawn into the turmoil of
local politics.In 1445, he became a Member of
Parliament for his county: a rather unstable area during
this time because the usually powerful Earl of Warwick,was only in his mid-teens.A lot of political affairs in Warwickshire led Sir
Thomas into his numerous clashes with the law.From
1444 onwards, he was caught up in raids(袭击)on the
attacks on the Duke of Buckingham and Combe Abbey
大修道院,大寺院 , as well as a number of thefts in the county
of Essex.Keen to blacken his name, Sir Thomas'
enemies branded(给某人加上污名)him “a rapist, church-
robber, extortioner(勒索者，敲诈者)and would-be
murderer".Unlucky or incompetent,Sir Thomas was certainly in prison almost
continuously throughout the 1450s, though he did
escape several times.His pardon came to him in
October 1462, followed by military service in
Northumbria.From then on he kept his head down,but may have become embroiled(使卷入)in Cook's
Conspiracy(阴谋活动)of 1468, for which he was
imprisoned.There, he turned to writing and earned
eternal fame.Sir Thomas died on 12th March 1471,probably in Newgate Prison(London).He was buried in the nearby Friary Church of St.Francis.II.Morte d' Arthur
《亚瑟王之死》
Malory's tale begins with the mysterious birth of Arthur and ends with his equally mysterious death.The central concern is with the adventures of Arthur and his famous Knights of the Round Table.The knights fight many battles and win glory, all of which is a credit to the name of King Arthur.Near the end of the story, however, the tide of good fortune turns.Launcelot, one of Arthur's knights, falls in love with Arfhur's queen, Guinever, and the lady
returns his love.One by one the other knight become discontented(使不满), selfish, or
disillusioned(使醒悟;使不再抱幻想;使...的理想破灭).Thus weakened, the kingdom is attacked by force under Sir Mordred, Arthur's treacherous(背叛的;不忠的)nephew, and ultimately it goes down in defeat.Arthur is borne away(被...所驱使)on a barge(大型平底船)by three mysterious ladies of the Lake.Morte d‘Arthur was written in a time of transition.The feudal order was dying.By the time Malory began writing his story, soldiers were fighting with gunpowder, a middle class of
tradesmen was arising;and the practices of chivalry were being replaced(代替,取代)by a new aristocratic code.Malory, in a desire to escape the disorder and uneasiness of his day,tried to recapture lost ideals of the romantic past as recounted(叙述,讲述)in his tale of noble kings, adventurous knights, and damsels(少女;闺女)in distress(悲痛;苦恼;忧伤;贫困,穷苦;危难;不幸;引起痛苦或悲痛的事物).This book is very important in English literature.Its Arthurian materials have a strong influence on literature of later centuries.III.Questions for Discussion
1.What are the features of Popular Ballads?
2.What is the story of Morte d‘Arthur ?
3.Why is Sir Thomas Malory an important writer the 15th century?
