吃透阅读理解 把握考研英语命脉
找准路标词,事半功倍
考研英语阅读中的“路标词”是指那些具有衔接和转折等功能的词(即,虚词)、词组和句子。这些词对考生有效地应用信息解答试题也是至关重要的。
具体来说,“路标词”有以下三大类:
“继续前进”类:and, more, moreover, More than that, Furthermore, also.Likewise, equally important, another…
“注意转弯”类:but, yet, while, whereas, nevertheless, otherwise, although, despite, instead, in spite of, not, on the contrary, however, in contrast…
其他类:near, far, beside, next to, above, on the side of, across…;for this purpose, so that, in order…;for example, specifically, in particular…;in that case, if, unless…
此类词汇为句与句、段与段之间的关系更清楚的交代架起了一座 “桥梁”。此类词是考生在理解文章中不迷失、不转向的根本。
把握句子间逻辑关系
考研阅读,对学生逻辑判断和推理能力的要求是非常明显的,因此句子间逻辑关系的把握会直接影响文章的理解。阅读中一般出现的逻辑关系有:因果关系、递进关系、修饰、解释关系、复指关系、对比关系,转折关系。因此,在阅读文章过程中,一定要留意句子间的逻辑关系。例如,In the immediate future, Stanley believes that one solution would be to make artificial floods to flush out the delta waterways, in the same way that natural floods did before the construction of the dams.He says, however, that in the long term an alternative process such as desalination may have to be used to increase the amount of water available.句中出现了表示递进的逻辑关系词in the immediate future … in the longer term …;还出现了表示转折关系的关联词however。
根据真题,总结规律
首先,考生要准备近10年的考研英语真题和一个笔记本。目的就是为了研究和排难,通过这一遍的复习,最好做到无生词、无难句、理解透彻。并把在复习过程中总结的经验记录到笔记本上,当做完10年真题后,本子上多次出现的单词就是考研英语高频词汇,多次记录的句型就是考研英语常考句型。经常出错的地方就是以后需要重点复习的对象。考研英语阅读的复习靠的是日积月累,所以从准备考研开始,考生就应该制定阅读复习的详细计划,并坚持执行下去。即便在复习过程中遇到困难,也要想法克服,而不是躲避。希望广大的2013年的考生们在复习考研英语阅读理解的过程中,能够把握这三个关键点,提高自己的英语水平。祝愿考生们考研复习顺利!
第二篇:2012考研英语阅读理解
2012考研英语阅读理解:读外刊扩大词汇量
2011年10月24日 11:38来源:万学海文
英语二阅读理解A部分题型为多项选择题,总共有4篇文章,总长度为1500词左右,要求考生阅读文章并回答每篇文章后面的问题。每篇文章后设有5个问题,共20题,每小题2分,总计40分。对于中国的英语学习者说,不管是英语四、六级,专
四、专八考试,还是考研、考博考试,阅读始终是一项最为重要的技能,所占的分数比例大,“得阅读者得天下”,阅读能力并不仅仅体现在阅读理解一项当中,很大程度上,阅读理解能力是综合素质的体现,阅读能力也和英语知识运用、新题型、写作等题型相互关联,这样题型的解决需要通过阅读获取相关的信息,如果阅读能力不好,这些题型的做题质量会受到大大地影响。
依据最新的大纲,万学海文(微博)英语考研辅导老师们对阅读A部分做了一个详细地分析,通过和考研英语一阅读理解A部分的对比,我们可以获知以下的信息,英语二阅读量减小,英语一是1600词,英语二是1500,而且没有说生词量不超过总共的3%,考查生词的可能性降到最低,大纲中并没有提到超纲词汇,这给了考生一个定心丸,即不必担心超纲词汇。且英语二明确规定了考察的体裁和题材。题材是经济、管理、社会、文化、科普。这方面的题材与专业硕士的特点休戚相关,且英语一中的八大阅读能力的要求减为6条。少了“理解文中的概念性含义”和“区分论点和论据”这两个难度较大的要求,“进行有关的判断、推理和引申”去掉了引申,而除去的以上两点对阅读有非常高的要求。英语二阅读部分所要掌握的六大能力是:1,理解文章的要义,2,理解文中的具体信息,3,理解作者的意图、观点或态度,4,进行有关的判断、推理和引申,5,根据上下文推测生词的词义,6,理解文章的总体结构以及上下文之间的关系。
综上所述,英语二对阅读能力的考查大为降低了,明确规定了所要考查的范围,考生在复习的时候,可以有的放矢,对所考查的题型进行精心复习。2012年在考题的难度上和题型的设计上相比2011年很有可能没有大的改变,这是一个可喜的消息,还有,万学海文英语考研辅导老师们建议2012年的考生在复习阅读题型时,可以读一些外刊,因为据我们的统计,很多阅读来源于外刊,比如,经济学人,时代周刊,纽约时报,读这样的文章不但可以使我们扩充词汇量,了解有关的题材,而且还可以获取背景知识,藉此,在了解了相关知识后,然后辅以适当的解题技巧,这样在答题的时候一定会游刃有余。
万学海文建议考生在复习的时候,应该定期做题,勤于思考,总结方法,除此外,还要夯实基础,平时在做题的过程中,把篇章中一些好的句子(特别是长难句)、短语、以及一些高频常考词汇抄录下来,日积月累,做题的正确率定会提高,得高分的可能性就会增大,考取理想院校就会
第三篇:如何把握简历的三命脉
简历中,哪些该写的非常清楚,哪些该隐晦的写出呢!那关于简历的三命脉该如何把握呢?下面是写写帮文库小编为你整理的把握简历的三命脉的方法,希望对你有帮助。
简历中三命脉该如何把握
一、误导的工作头衔
误导的工作头衔也会使你看起来像是个失败者。请参考下列“事业模式”:现任工作:营销经理;前任工作:营销总经理;前前任工作:营销经理。为什么你会从“营销总经理”调回原职“营销经理”呢?对此你有或许充足的理由,可并不适宜在求职信上详细说明,但是你不去管它,别人自然会误以为你是能力不足才被“贬回原职”。
事实上,同样的工作头衔在不同的公司便代表不同的意义,如果你觉得以前的工作头衔可能给人错误的印象,不要犹豫,把它改换成别的名称,必要时,再在面谈时解释这么做的理由。
二、薪水
即使你可能自愿降薪,但是你也不会有面谈表达意愿的机会,因为老板通常不愿雇用这种薪水愈赚愈少的人,他们会觉得你是在利用他们“填补空缺”。或者他们会认为给你面谈机会只是浪费你的时间而已。
2、老板将会知道你目前的薪水远比他们愿意付出的低
你可能有了面谈的机会,但是你薪金的筹码大大削弱了。如果薪水可以讨价还价,他们会用你目前的薪水为起薪。反过来说,他们也可能根本不给你面谈的机会,因为他们会觉得你太“微不足道”而无法胜任这项工作。
3、你可能提供非常误导的信息
你目前的薪水不能精确反应这项工作对你的价值,你或许还有很多其他福利,如配备医疗保险、退休金、免费午餐等———所有这些福利都有要加进你的“总报酬额”才对。目前你的薪水或许比另一家老板付的薪水高,但是另一家提供的“总报酬额”可能更高。相反,你现在的薪水或许看起来低很多。
三、婚否
不论你如何看待离婚一事,把它放在简历中,就立即使你贴上失败者的标记。如果你结婚了,就实说无妨;如果你离婚了,就说你还“单身”;如果你正处于分居时期,仍然说你“已婚”。
假设老板聘任员工都是为了达成某项结果,那么,在简历上标明你的失败,自然对你极为不利。受挫的记录,几乎人人都有,所以失败并不足为奇,只是程度大小和是否能平衡的问题而已。例如,考试失败并不表示世界末日,只要你卷土重来再通过考试,说不定你还能从中获益良多。但简历不合适表达这些观点,面谈时说或许更合适些。
第四篇:把握时代命脉 力创一流大学
把握时代命脉 力创一流大学
——新闻院学习贯彻胡锦涛同志贺信和刘延东同志讲话精神
在丝路重镇兰州,在黄河母亲之畔;在皋兰山下,在萃英门内;在十九世纪初动荡的年代里,在清末兴建法政学堂的潮流中;一九零九年的九月,甘肃法政学堂在前清贡院里正式建立了。
在那个时局动荡、国将不国的年代里,谁也不会关注一所学堂的命运,当北大清华成为推动文化运动、孕育革命浪潮的基地时,甘肃法政学堂依旧默默地在西北植根着,它在寂寞荒凉的土地上、在经济文化落后的甘肃,承担起教育新式人才,传播民主思想的重任。
尽管这里地处荒僻、消息闭塞、经济落后,但是历史终究不会忘记这块地方,更不会忘记这里的学堂。一九四六年,这座学堂更名国立兰州大学,从此兰州大学开始了自己腾跃的时代。解放后,兰州大学正式成为这座学校的名称,到如今已经走过了一个甲子的辉煌。
兰州大学,在二零零九年迎来了自己的百岁华诞。一百年的历史证明,兰州大学在西北自然条件恶劣、经济基础薄弱、文化气息稀薄等不利因素下,不畏艰苦、不慕繁荣,用自己的实际行动耕耘了西部这块文化的荒漠。兰州大学就是荒漠的胡杨,扎根西部、牧狩荒泽;兰州大学就是寂寞的黄牛,筚路蓝缕、寂寞耕耘。
在兰州大学百年的校庆上,令我们欢欣鼓舞、群情激动的是胡锦涛主席的贺信和刘延东国务委员的讲话。胡主席在讲话中高度肯定了兰州大学为国家和社会做出的贡献,并且鼓励兰州大学继续创造辉煌。刘延东委员也充分可定和高度赞扬了兰州大学百年来取得的傲人成绩。
带着百年校庆的喜悦,全校上下热烈掀起了学习胡锦涛主席贺信和刘延东国务委员讲话的热潮。全校上下上至领导老师,下至学生职工,都认真学习和热烈讨论贺信和讲话的内容及精神,并将学习内容转变为自己工作学习的前进动力。
兰州大学新闻与传播学院组织党员认真学习和贯彻胡锦涛主席的贺信和刘延东国务委员的讲话,学习贺信和讲话内容、凝练出自己的感悟,并带动周边同学进行学习讨论,全院上下形成了一股良好的学习风气。通过学习贺信和讲话,同学们表示自己得到了很大的鼓舞,对自己能够作为一名兰州大学的大学生而感到骄傲和自豪。同学们表示一定要好好学习知识,积累经验,提升水平,力争做一名优秀的大学生,将来成为社会的有用人才。
兰州大学扎根西部、默默求索,效胡杨而傲四方,居一隅而雄天下。在时代发展的今天,力争“做西部文章,创一流大学”,建设成为高水平研究型、综合性大学。
满怀着激情和喜悦,我们走在大路上,意气奋发斗志昂扬,为做好一名合格优秀的大学生而不懈奋斗。新闻与传播学院的学生党员们将自己的学习心得写出来,愿与各位同学们一同分享,一起感受兰大的魅力,一起开拓自己的明天。
