学姐告诉你如何备考2013南京大学英美文学研究生入学考试
为期一年的考研生活结束了!我想要把自己在这一年中的备考经验和心理状态与大家分享以下。我至今仍庆幸自己在一次偶然之中进入一个论坛,从中得到了许多学长学姐的建议与考试经验,从而能够复习更有效率。我想,对于我们考研者而言,备考时各科的复习方法固然重要,但在这个过程中我们心智一同成长却是最重要的!
心理篇
相信自己!即使周边的所有人都怀疑你!
我本科所在的学校是一所非常普通的大学。在四年的无聊生活之后,在所有的荣誉和成功都属于别人时,在寂寞暗淡的时候,我原本想工作吧,快些工作吧,逃离这如死水般的痛苦的大学生活,快逃开这思想的荒原,逃离吧,不管是哪。这时,我的父母和我那时的恋人都力劝我考研。最后,我被说服了。
在报考学校时,我选择南京大学,尽管那时我还从未到过南京。我询问老师们,有的怀疑一所南方的高校是否会录取边陲的我们,有的说我的风险极高,有的说我们学校中尽管有考上北大的,却从未有过考上南大的。听完这些话之后,我心中七上八下,不知如何选择。可是转念一想,别人从未做到未必意味着我做不到。说到底,老师也并不了解情况。何况,我是真心喜欢南大,真心喜欢英美文学,于是就这样定了南大。
但我在十一月份时,复习陷入了窘境,看着以前的文学评论经验贴,我强烈的怀疑自己能不能写出好的文章。基础英语的写作分数又那么高,而写作一向是我的弱项。于是,犹疑之下,我报了少数民族骨干计划,这才稍稍放下心来。
成绩下来的时候,我半是激动半是后悔,初试成绩383,政治83.法语84,基础英语114,文学112。因此我要对你们说,相信自己吧,也许在大学时你并不是最优秀的,也许你身处平庸之中,也许很多时候你发现难以衡量自己的实力,那么问问自己的心,你就知道自己的力量所在了。
二.为自己的目标努力奋斗,千万不能半途而废
我的本专业就是英语,因此在考研的前半年我并没有专门看南大的参考书,文学方面只是跟着课程上英美文学史及选读,法语是一直在准备法语四级。直到暑假的两个月,我才开始看参考书,做综英的题,这两个月的复习是颇有效率的。等到开学的时候,情况有了转变。我身边有一些人保了研,说实话,我虽清楚的知道不会有我,但心中总有一些不甘心,一些委屈,一些不服气。在这时,很重要的就是保持心态平衡。
到了十一之后,很多考研的同学都松懈了,有的蠢蠢欲动要去找工作,有的犹豫着要考本校的研,有的干脆半途而废了。坚持,坚持,坚持,我每天都会对自己说。尤其是考研后期,一定要坚持,坚持!
初试复习篇
基础英语
我的复习过程就是,先背专八词汇,因为有些词在阅读理解中的出现频率较高,此外也可以为专八做准备。然后,就是练习阅读理解。南大的阅读理解很特别,只有一篇,篇幅较长,和其他学校的有所不同。
翻译就是要天天练习,然后再和标准答案对照。仔细分析自己的译文,是词汇问题还是思路问题。我个人感觉,翻译的篇章大多是关于一些文化介绍的。在英译汉时,首先要理解原文,吃透原文,如果有能够译成汉语的四字格的就尽量译。汉译英时就是要注意汉英两种语言的差别,汉语散句多,形散意合。但英语中长句多,逻辑关系明确。因此译之前最好先想想。
写作方面,实在惭愧的很,没有勤加练习。一些小小的技巧就是注意文章格式,严格按照格式进行,还要积累一些比较高级的词和一些名人名言。我倒是把一本英语谚语和典故词典抄了一遍,但是实在没记住多少,呵呵。不过今年的题型有了小小的变动,以前的改错换成了完形填空(自己填的那种),一段关于乔布斯评价的文字。
英美文学
参考书是必须多看几遍的。书后的问题也要自己构思回答。除了参考书外,我还看了常耀信的英美文学简史,有助于答题。其实,文学,很大程度上还在于自己的积累和总结。这是最难短期突破的科目,需要真正对文学的热爱,以及持之以恒的阅读。
当时,我还买了一本《南京大学英美文学考研复习精编》其中有历年真题和答案解析,我就按照上面的复习提示和真题解析思路学,我的进度就快起来了,不知不觉中节约了好多时间,提高了效率!值得注意的是,今年的题所占的分值大变,除文学史分数未变外,辨识题的分值大大降低,大部分的分值都集中到了主观题上,题量也加大了,以前是三题选做一个,现在改为做两个(记不太清了)。诗歌鉴赏没变。
法语
我们学校用的法语教材是薛建成的简明教程。我个人认为很好,简明扼要,但重点又全揽。后来,我又买了马版的法语一二册,从头看到尾。这一版教材非常好,从发音开始,循序渐进,词汇,文化知识都非常丰富。但是应试性不是很强,研习又得花很长时间。
法语的重中之重就是要反复做真题,因为南大的法语题除了最后一题的法译汉外,并不是很难。今年的法译汉是关于法国的外交政策的,正好是我的一本法国面面观里面的,悲催的是,我没看,就算看了也记不住啊。列出书名,望对大家有帮助。
政治
很多同学都报班了,我没有报班。因此我的经验就是,报不报均可,报的人很大程度是寻个心理安慰。不报的话,把书多看几遍。在最后冲刺的时候,买一些海天或文都的冲刺题做做,把分析出必考的内容背下来。
以上就是我对初试的一些经验,并非放之四海皆准,各人学习方法有所不同。也许还有更好的,写出来仅供大家参考。
第二篇:湖师大英美文学研究生备考
二外:相信大家都知道,考英语专业的研,二外是主打,拉分的重点。我学的是日语,所以就日语谈谈了。去年的日语参考书指定的是新版初级的上下册,中级上册。当时我学的是旧版的,没办法学校开的是旧版,当时九月份招生简章出来后,我就急了,担心旧版不能应付,而那时我已经把三本旧版的都学完了,于是我就专门用了两个星期的时间记了下新版的单词,扫了遍新版的文章和句型,结果证明这样是对的,二外考了86。所以大家不必着急,学校开什么就跟着上,基础是关键,一定要把基础打牢,到了暑假重点往前冲二外,在大四开学时保证二外第一遍过完,单词句型稳扎稳打。当时初级上下的两册,我就把后面的中文撕下来,最后每课都能对着中文默下来了。具体的学习方法自己去摸索,但一定要学得比较轻松,比如记单词时用点谐音啊什么的,比如有个单词“爱打扮的”,你就可以谐音成中文“我下来啦”,女孩子爱打扮,男朋友在楼下等不及了喊,她就叫“我下来啦”。去年题型多了个应用文写“请假条”,和大作文写“我所知道的日本”。所以背课文对你写作文还是很有帮助的,因为好像要写400字。如果我记错了话就是250字。
我2010年考二外日语。题型出乎意料地改了~
假名-汉字,汉字-假名 均为选择题,共20分
还有语法题(不记得是10个还是20个了,难度不大)
翻译:日译中3段(不难),五个中译日的句子(大都是初级课文中的)
取消阅读!
一篇50字的小作文!(题目没看明白,好像是写假条。5分)
一篇300字的大作文!!(去年考的是“我了解的日本”。15分)我建议:首先书本要熟读,特别是初级下。语言这个东西丢不得,每天都要碰一下。做题方面我建议选择题可以参考国际日语三级练习题,阅读参照二级。单词天天看,当然还有最重要的一个问题,就是一定要坚持下去!祝你成功!
专业课一:10年的这门课,改革了,第一年改革,所以我想11年的不会改了,学校领导和老师也没那么多时间去搞这个创新了。全部是主观题,没一个客观题,重点考察写作能力,连阅读都改成了写归纳和感想,200字归纳加300字感想。作文12个题目挑一个,700字,如果你没有积累,靠专门临场发挥写是磨不出来的,况且多背点有什么不好呢,12个你总可以砸到一个吧,除非你自己运气实在太差,一出门就撞到墙的那种。然后改错,10分,翻译30分,重点是写作啦,而且切忌在考场上打草稿,我就是傻傻的打了那700字的草稿,而且还是我头天晚上背的,结果等我腾玩后发现时间都快用去一半了,作文干净是干净啊,赏心悦目,可后面的时间不够,都是抢着写完的,有点遗憾留在这上面了。
英语语言运用与思维》试题以考察考生的理解、思维和英语运用能力为主,兼顾汉语表达能力。整个试卷由四个大题构成:
第1大题“Proof-reading & Error Correction”,共10分。它由一篇连贯的短文构成,其中含有10个谬误,需要考生识别并纠正。本题主要考察考生对英语语言知识包括语法、句法、语篇、固定搭配、语言文化、以及语篇逻辑的认知水平。
第2大题“Reading Comprehension”共60分。它由A、B两个部分构成,A部分包含1篇短文(1000词左右),共提出了5个问题,主要考察考生对文章的理解能力和对作者思想的概括分析能力。B部分包括对某个主题展开讨论、说明或记叙的3篇短文,每篇短**在1000词左右。要求考生阅读后,首先在规定的字数内综述这3篇短文的主要内容,然后结合自身认知与感受,表达对作者观点的看法,自抒己见,同时对作者的看法也要做出解释,并且能够联系到实际。
第3大题“Writing”共50分。它包含有12个可选题目,全部都是具有议论性质的题目,其主要是考察考生分析和思辨能力,这里没有绝对的对与错,只要论点(Thesis Statements),论据(Illustrations)和辩论(Substantiations)合理,并能逻辑清楚地表达出来,就可以得到好分数。该题主要考察考生的认知水平,学科知识的系统性,具体表现为思维的逻辑性,思想的新颖性,和语言表述的准确性、简洁性。
第4大题“Translate the following text into Chinese”共30分。要求考生将一篇有关人生哲理、科技的或学术方面的英语短文(500词以内)翻译成汉语,主要考察考生的汉语表达能力。
先高级英语:有一些指定的文章。第一册是:1.2.5.6.9.10课
第二册是:1.2.3.4.5课
基本上就是这些。一般是不会超出这些范围的,试题在书上的分数会保持在15分
左右。主要是paraphrase, figure of speech之类的。
题型和专八的没太大区别。所以一些专业八级的数目是必要的。记单词我推很少看到高级英语的资料,我问过一个师大的学姐,她告诉我高英复习课文很重要,重点是看她们学校学的课文(下册1,2,5,6,9,10,11),其他的课文也要兼顾。复习中注重课文中的修辞和课后练习中的Paraphrase~~~
这些讲义中包含上面所有的课文,还有综合整理出的重点的词汇(依据朗文的E-E解释),以及修辞和辅助理解课文的背景资料~~~
