对于即将参加2014年研究生入学考试的考生来说,英语复习的关键在于阅读理解和写作两种题型,因为试卷中的听力部分仅作为参考分,实际计入总分的只有80分(加权后为100分),而其中这两种题型占60分(加权后占75分)。囿于篇幅,这里仅谈几个考生关心的问题以供冲刺复习参考。 如何提高阅读理解的得分率 首先,要搞清楚得分和阅读理解之间的关系。读得好和做对题并不一定成正比,当然,完全读不懂是无法做题的。每篇文章后有5个问题,从问题所涵盖的信息量看,有些问题覆盖面大,如中心意思类的题;有些问题涉及到文章的某一段,甚至只是某一句话,其信息含量就很少了。5个问题的答案并不要求我们把文章读得十全十美,有些段落读不懂,甚至忽略不读,都是没有关系的。考生容易陷入的一个误区就是:读得太多,考虑得太全,以至轻视了问题。考试以解题为目的,阅读只是手段。 其次,分清段落内部的主次内容。对于每一个英文段落,我们应该相信,它有一个论述的核心问题。至于作者用什么办法来阐述这个核心,则变化多样。阅读这个段落时,对核心问题的把握举足轻重。举个例子: ①The attacks on ambition are many and come from various angles,its public defenders are few and unimpressive,where they are not extremely unattractive.②As a result,the support for ambition as a healthy impulse,a quality to be admired and fixed in the mind of the young,is probably lower than it has ever been in the United States.③This does not mean that ambition is at an end,that people no longer feel its stirrings and promptings,but only that,no longer openly honored,it is less openly professed.④Consequences follow from this,of course,some of which are that ambitionis drive nunderground,or made sly.⑤Such,then,is the way things stand:on the left angry critics,on the right stupid supporters,and in the middle,as usual,the majority of earnest people trying to get on in life. |
