前22题肯定为英国部分,其余为美国部分。
大题部分:
基本上是一人一半,各占50%
书上共652页,英国411页,美国241页。
英国作家共38位,美国15位。
其中,美国部分中,诗歌作品也比较少,比较好确认。
结论:
死学美国,顺带英国。
提醒大家注意的是,单选从第23题开始就是美国部分了,这一点可以做为你答题时转换思维的分水岭!
3.内容分析
历年命题的趋势逐渐由课文内容向选读作品转移,选读的比重越来越大。
课文内容作到大体了解,但要特别重视作家艺术特色。
选读部分加大力度,多注意书上的注释及选文大意和某些细节,尽量作到能用英语复述。
实在不行,也至少作到能用汉语复述。
4.真题解析及预测
自学考试的一大特点就是重复率高,所以历年试题是必惫的复习材料,不可缺少。
有人说:
“一套真题等于3套模拟题!
”这话绝对没错。
所以要花大力气在上面。
记得我考那回就有一道10分大题和前一年的一模一样。
注:
马克吐温的《哈克贝里费恩历险记》的分析在2000~2002年中,连续考了三次。
注意历年真题,尤其是去年的。
去年的10分大题大致如下:
a.《傲慢与偏见》中的三种婚姻
b.《白鲸》选文作品复述几分析象征意义。
问:
“死看美国?
顺带英国?
那怎么整?
”
建议对策:
一。
美国部分内容较少,我没记错的话,应该是15位作家,13首诗,1幕剧TheHairyApe,1篇散文Nature,9个小说节选。
1.先说小说。
至少每一个节选你都要知道大意,和表达的主题(包括象征,隐喻,etc)。
也就是说,选文你可以不看,但选文前的斜体介绍不能不看,那里集中着考点。
记住的越多越好。
2.再说诗歌。
美国部分的诗歌除了“easy”想不出别的来形容,原因是其口语风格。
你所要做的,就是记住名字,然后把简介(就是诗歌前面的斜体内容)和书上的注释部分背下来。
我敢说你诗歌部分(也就是第二题)基本OK了。
3.至于散文和戏剧,不用花大力气,两者的方法同小说部分。
另:
Nature你要注意新英格兰超验主义,和“TheTransparenteyeball”。
千万别去读《毛猿》,太乱,不易读懂。
4.关于如何对待课文内容,千万别看作者生平,肯定不考。
建议略过生平,采取两遍的方法:
第一遍先用笔画,画出你认为可能出题的地方,第二遍只看你画的地方,记住关键词。
还有,参照书后的大纲,大纲上提到的作品有限,如果时间紧,就只记住大纲提到的作品便可省去不少时间。
二。
英国部分的方法同美国,但见于其内容太多,所以可以适用时间充裕的人。
此处不再敖述。
就我对从1999~2003年国考题的分析看,大纲每一章后都有一个终结,包括一般了解,了解,掌握,应用等。
最后一道20分的大题一般都是大纲的应用部分的内容,应给予高度重视。
