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20÷4=5。如果我们假设一个变数为X,并且设X的范围是A、B、C和D,那么我们就可以推断5-1≤X≤5+1,则X∈[4,6]。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、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。

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)
⑴、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
⑵、应用文写作的格式和写作要点
本部分要求考生在规定时间内,按照题目所规定的内容要点,写出100字左右的书信。(80—120都是正常范围)。不要求考生写信头,信内地址以及写信时间,只从称呼开始,然后根据题目要求写出正文、结尾客套,签名统一用“李明”这个名字。
称呼是书信的开头部分,一定用dear打头。主义头衔的使用,通常对于那行,可用Mr.,学术界用Dr.和Prof.(介绍信、请求信),称呼女性多用Mrs., Ms.或Miss. Ms.可称未婚女性,也可称已婚女性。Hon.(Honorable)、用于市长、议员、大使、法官等的姓名前。Press.(President)用于称呼董事长、总经理、(求职信)会长、大学校长(请求信:环境、食堂)等。Rev.(Reverend)称呼牧师。如果不知道对方的姓名,可称呼Dear Sir或者Dear Madam, 也可用To Whom It May Concern。另外,英语书信的称呼于汉语书信不同,称呼后不用冒号,而用逗号。
应用文的最后一部分是签名。要求统一用“Li Ming”落款。(g字母与yours的s字母对齐)注意:英文信件语中文信件不同,签名下面不写日期。日期要写在信内地址的下面(Dear×××的上一行右侧)。因考试中没有要求写日期,所以考生不必画蛇添足。

考研英语作文的写作技巧
一、考研作文的类型
考研英语作文可分为两大类型:提纲作文和图表作文,2002年考试大纲又新增了应用文。
1991年至1996年写作题目构架均呈同一模式,即写作题目的写作指导(Directions)均包括三个基本要素:1)标题;2)提纲;3)起始句(Openingsentence)。三要素从不同方面为短文的写作提供了依据———标题限定短文的基本发展方向,提纲规定短文的基本构架,起始句则提供短文的起点。写作提纲均给出了三个基本项:1)Presentsituation/state(问题的提出);2)Reasons/…(对与问题相关因素的讨论);3)Mycomments/suggestions(问题的解决)。
1997至2004年作文题目属图表作文。图表作文的写作指导不像提纲作文那样为短文提供标题、提纲和起始句三要素。这种作文题目的写作指导中仅对短文提出了二至三项要求。而这些要求则类似提纲,故这类作文往往可以按照所给要求自然分段。图表作文还给有不同形式的图表或图画,且图表又多配有数据或说明。如果说提纲作文是把提纲各项目的信息扩展充实而谋篇成文的话,那么,图表作文则是一种信息的转换。也就是说,写此类作文时,首先要以题目中的要求(requirements)为指导,审慎解读图表,准确把握图表传递的信息,将其扩展成文。
从命题趋势上看,提纲式作文将逐渐被图表和图画作文取代,其目的无非是防止押题。命题者设计试题时会考虑作文的内容、文化背景以及考生的语言水平。校园生活、社会热点、环境保护、科学技术、业余生活都是常规的出题范围。
应用文包括书信、摘要、报告、备忘录四种,由于版面所限,恕不能一一介绍。
二、考研英语作文的总体评分原则
考研作文的写作要素体现在阅卷人员所依据的评分原则和评分标准———总体评分(GlobalScoring)之中。阅卷人员就是凭对文章的总体印象和总体表达效果给分的,而不是按语法、词汇、拼写、标点等错误的累计数目多少来扣分。这表明作文是就内容和语言两方面给分。语言和内容是一个统一体,要求内容切题、表达清楚、意义连贯、句法多变、语言正确。
1)内容切题:不能走题、偏题。
2)表达清楚:要让别人知道你想说什么,不要用你认为能看懂的汉语式英文句子,比如:He would help you in no word.(他帮你简直没话说。)It would not say he was not hard.(这并不是说他不刻苦。)这样的英语句子只能让阅卷人员捧腹大笑,然后给你“温柔一刀”(降低作文档次)。
3)意义连贯:中英文化差异造成思维方式和文字表述方式的不同,英文表述更注重事实,所以写英语作文不要过多的进行心理、环境描写,120个字的作文结构要缜密,理由和例子要简洁有力,说明问题,不要东拉西扯。
4)句法多变:为避免文章平淡、呆板,可使用不同的句式:强调句、倒装句、否定句等等,比如:Deep down do we know…
5)语言正确:不要犯低级的语法错误,比如:Iis…
三、考研英语作文的写作方法
写英语作文和写汉语作文是一个不同的过程。根据非英语专业大学生的实际水平,要求他们用英语表达他们丰富的思想,是不可能的。所以写作文成了一个难题。提高写作的一个捷径是模仿。一个写字写得好的人,都是通过读帖的过程,然后模仿。如果一开始就自创一派,肯定是一笔烂字。写作文一样,一定要模仿。所以,考生提高英语作文能力的第一步就是掌握一些通行的英语作文模式,再举一反三。比如,分析原因是目前考研作文的最常见写作部分,请看下面分析原因段落的通行写作模式:
There are some possible reasons for the present situation.(主题句)First,______________.(第一点原因)Second,____________.(第二点原因)Finally,_____________.(第三点原因)Asaresult,____.(主题句的重申或深化)
像此种模式,几乎适用于一切分析原因的段落,不论是提纲作文还是图表图画作文,均可使用。这种写作模式给人一种条理清晰、逻辑缜密的感觉。
2004年研究生入学考试已经临近,此时,英语其他部分再提高考分是很难的,但作文部分还有相当的潜力。要提高作文的考分一方面要靠学、靠背,另外一个重要方面是靠练。在考前这段时间,每个星期练习一至两篇作文,逼着自己写,每次调好闹钟,开始的时候40分钟写一篇作文。写一段时间后,手就熟了,逐渐过渡到25分至30分钟之间完成一篇文章。这样到考试的时候,才能游刃有余。由于时间宝贵,选择练习题目要十分谨慎,首先要把过去近5年的考试作文试题练一遍,然后可以选择一些比较新的题目写。
