07年考研英語復(fù)習(xí)整體規(guī)劃

字號:

一、考研政策
    社會對人才需求的不斷提高、就業(yè)壓力對于本科生日益加大、國際化進(jìn)程中對高等人才的迫切需求是“大環(huán)境”,讓眾多學(xué)子義無反顧地踏上了漫漫考研路。2005年報名人數(shù)為117萬之多,在2006年增加到127.12萬人。
    能夠入學(xué)的人數(shù)保持在33萬左右。根據(jù)國家教育部制訂的“十五規(guī)劃”,到2010年,研究生入學(xué)人數(shù)將在100萬以上。
    幾年考研熱將繼續(xù)“高溫”。而“高溫”的原因主要有以下兩個:
    1.目前大學(xué)本科畢業(yè)生的就業(yè)形式不容樂觀,考研能夠暫緩就業(yè)壓力?!皣?yán)峻的就業(yè)形勢讓更多人選擇了考研”,教育部高校學(xué)生司的一位工作人員說。2005年是高校實行擴(kuò)招以來第三個就業(yè)高峰年,今年的本科畢業(yè)生較去年增加了70萬。本科生擴(kuò)招,是導(dǎo)致就業(yè)壓力增大的重要原因之一。無論是為了留在大城市、繼續(xù)充電,還是暫時躲避就業(yè)高峰,考研熱都與當(dāng)前的就業(yè)壓力托不了干系。此外,越來越多的學(xué)生期望到大城市工作和出國簽證難,也導(dǎo)致一些人選擇了考研。
    2.考研是提高學(xué)歷和自身能力的一種方式,能幫助自己擴(kuò)大就業(yè)門路、增加就業(yè)砝碼,便于以后有更大的發(fā)展空間。有統(tǒng)計表明,研究生就業(yè)率為93%,高于本科生的84%和高職??粕?1%。雖然“人才高消費(fèi)”現(xiàn)象提出了好幾年,但市場依舊我行我素,就業(yè)壓力讓各種考研理由殊途同歸,用研究生學(xué)歷增厚企業(yè)敲門磚成了盡人皆知的秘密。特別是近年來一些企業(yè)、機(jī)關(guān)也以有多少研究生為榮。表:2001年——2006年報名人數(shù)與錄取人數(shù)
    年份 報名人數(shù) 增長人數(shù) 增幅 錄取人數(shù) 報名錄取比例
    2006年 127.5萬人 10.5萬 9% 34.4 26.9%(3.7:1)
    2005年 117萬 22.7萬 24.1% 31萬 36.49%(3.8:1)
    2004年 94.5萬 14.8萬 18.4% 33萬 34.92% (2.9:1)
    2003年 79.7萬 17.4萬 27.7% 27萬 33.87%(3.0:1)
    2002年 62.3萬 16.3萬 35.6% 19.5萬 31.30% (3.2:1)
    2001年 46萬 6.8萬 17.3% 11.05萬 24.02% (4.2:1)
    所以要盡早開始引導(dǎo)同學(xué)們走向考研之路。
    這樣做的理由是:
    1.“凡事預(yù)則立,不預(yù)則廢?!睂W(xué)員要在將來的職場生涯中具有更多的競爭力就要對大學(xué)四年或五年的學(xué)習(xí)有一個清晰的規(guī)劃,考研是社會要求我們做的選擇。盡管研究生已經(jīng)擴(kuò)招,但浩浩蕩蕩的考研大軍還是讓這一選擇的成功變得異常艱難。有考生說:考研后是在考英語。這么說雖然有失偏頗卻也不無道理,好的英語成績是考研成功的堅實基礎(chǔ)。絕大多數(shù)在考研上浪費(fèi)了一年又一年光陰的同學(xué)正是由于無法跨越考研英語的大門。從大學(xué)一年級開始有針對性地夯實英語基礎(chǔ),提高各方面能力就是明智的“預(yù)”。
    2.在四六級考試業(yè)已改革的情況下,四六級與學(xué)位脫鉤,考試委員會的撤銷,限制社會考生報考等一系列改革措施對大學(xué)生的影響還有待探討??佳械闹匾杂秩找嬷匾饋?。
    3.一年又一年的考研正在說明,并將繼續(xù)說明的一個問題就是:對多數(shù)考研學(xué)子而言,考研已不再是一個一年或半年奮力一搏就能成功的項目,相反,它越來越呈現(xiàn)出一個系統(tǒng)工程的特點(diǎn),需要投入更多的時間和精力,需要更加細(xì)致的規(guī)劃,需要更加清晰的步驟,以期達(dá)成更加良好的項目管理。我們不得不承認(rèn),不管是舊時的科舉考試,還是現(xiàn)時的高考或研究生考試,都在不同程度上使一批有較高素質(zhì)的人脫穎而出,改變了他們的命運(yùn)。另一方面,它們也使相當(dāng)一部分人,由于他們先天或后天的,合理或不合理的原因,成為考試制度下的犧牲品。所有個體的需求,與社會所能提供的機(jī)會之間,也許永遠(yuǎn)存在著無法完全調(diào)和的差距。我們所能做的,只是盡力去減少這兩者之間的差距。
    因此,如何才能保證自己在競爭激烈的社會立于不敗之地?如何才能順利地實現(xiàn)自己的夢想,從研究生考試中脫穎而出,成為考試中的勝利者?的答案就是——讓自己贏在起跑線上。既然考研是大勢所趨,那么就進(jìn)行針對性的備考就顯得極為必要。不管你現(xiàn)在處于哪個年級,明白接下來的大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)時間其終極目的是為考研服務(wù),你就會對自己進(jìn)行行之有效的目標(biāo)管理。結(jié)論:考研復(fù)習(xí)備考的時間延長至少了一年,需要早作規(guī)劃

    二、考研實際上是考的考研英語,考研英語實際上考的是考研英語閱讀
    考研要從三個方面提高:詞匯、句法和邏輯思路。
    1.詞匯
    a)重考性
    2006考研試題 Passage 3
    That matters because theory suggests that the maximum sustainable yield that can be cropped from a fishery comes when the biomass of a target species is about 50% of its original levels.

    2000考研試題 Passage 4
    In addition, far more Japanese workers expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs than did their counterparts in the 10 other countries surveyed.
    b)三個真正學(xué)會三個真正:學(xué)會傾聽作者真正的聲音,體會作者真正的感情,理解作者真正的思路
    例1 He was drawing excessively fine distinctions. (選自95年passage 1)
    例2 Too many schools adopt the “win at all costs” moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. (選自95年passage 4)
    學(xué)會三個真正:學(xué)會傾聽作者真正的聲音,體會作者真正的感情,理解作者真正的思路
    例3 Everywhere you go in America, you hear tales of corporate revival. (選自98年passage 2)
    例4 Fortunately, however, the increasing power and organization of the trade unions, at least in all skilled trades, enabled the workmen to meet on equal terms the managers of the companies who employed them. (選自96年passage 3)(2)句法
    例1. I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of “juggling your life”, and making the alternative move into “downshifting” brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status.
    Question: “juggling your life” probably means living a life characterized by:
    A non-materialistic B a bit of everything C extreme stress D anti-consumerism(選自01年passage 5)
    例2. When I decided to quit my full time employment it never occurred to me that I might become a part of a part of a new international trend. A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress prompted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although, in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exit by claiming “ I wanted to spend more time with my family”
    Question: which of the following is true according to paragraph 1:
    A Full-time employment is a new international trend.
    B The writer was compelled by circumstances to leave her job.
    C “A lateral move” means stepping out of full-time employment.
    D The writer was only too eager to spend more time with her family.(選自01年passage 5)
    例3.Tight-lipped elders used to say, “It‘s not what you want in this world, but what you get.” Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.
    Question: what do the elders mean when they say, “It‘s not what you want in this world, but what you get.” ?
    A You‘ll certainly get what you want.
    B.It‘s no use dreaming.
    C.You should be dissatisfied with what you have.
    D It‘s essential to set a goal for yourself. (選自96年passage 1)
    2.邏輯思路邏輯之考研閱讀的10種說法
    a)說大家不習(xí)慣的,說大家不敢說的
    例1 1997 Passage 3
    Technically, any substance other than food that alters our bodily or mental functioning is a drug. Many people mistakenly believe the term drug refers only to some sort of medicine or an illegal chemical taken by drug addicts. They don't realize that familiar substances such as alcohol and tobacco are also drugs. This is why the more neutral term substance is now used by many physicians and psychologists. The phrase "substance abuse" is often used instead of "drug abuse" to make clear that substances such as alcohol and tobacco can be just as harmfully misused as heroin and cocaine.
    Question: "Substances abuse" (line 4, paragraph 1) is preferable to "drug abuse" in that ________.
    [A] substances can alter our bodily or mental functioning if illegally used
    [B] "drug abuse" is only related to a limited number of drugtakers
    [C] alcohol and tobacco are as fatal as heroin and cocaine
    [D] many substances other than heroin or cocaine can also be poisonous
    例2 2005 Passage 4 Illustrated with an entertaining array of examples from both high and low culture, the trend that Mr. McWhorter documents is unmistakable. But it is less clear, to take the question of his subtitle, why we should, like care. As a linguist, he acknowledges that all varieties of human language, including non-standard ones like Black English, can be powerfully expressive-there exists no language or dialect in the world that cannot convey complex ideas .He is not arguing, as many do, that we can no longer think straight because we do not talk proper.
    Question: To which of the following statements would Mc Whorter most likely agree?
    [A]. Logical thinking is not necessarily related to the way we talk.
    [B]. Black English can be more expressive than standard English.
    [C]. Non-standard varieties of human language are just as entertaining.
    [D]. Of all the varieties, standard English Can best convey complex ideas.
    b)從“是”中說“非”
    例1 1995 Passage 4
    Too many schools adopt the "win at all costs" moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements.
    例2 1996 Passage 5
    And so it does — and all would be well were reason the only judge in the creationism/evolution debate.
    Question: From the passage we can infer that ________.
    [A] reasoning has played a decisive role in the debate
    [B] creationists do not base their argument on reasoning
    [C] evolutionary theory is too difficult for non-specialists
    [D] creationism is supported by scientific findings
    c)從“非”中說“是”
    例1 2000 Passage 1
    Few Americans attribute this solely to such obvious causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle.
    Question: The author seems to believe the revival of the US economy in the 1990s can be attributed to the________.
    [A] turning of the business cycle
    [B] restructuring of industry
    [C] improved business management
    [D] success in education
    d) 從“無”中說“有”
    例1 2000 Passage 1
    All of this caused a crisis of confidence. Americans stopped taking prosperity for granted. They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing, and that their incomes would therefore shortly begin to fall as well. The mid-1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes of America's industrial decline. Their sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competition from overseas.
    Question: What can be inferred from the passage?
    [A] It is human nature to shift between self-doubt and blind pride.
    [B] Intense competition may contribute to economic progress.
    [C] The revival of the economy depends on international cooperation.
    [D] A long history of success may pave the way for further development.
    e)從“有”中說“無”
    例1 1998 Passage 2
    There is, as Robert Rubin, the treasury secretary, says, a "disjunction" between the mass of business anecdote that points to a leap in productivity and the picture reflected by the statistics.
    Question: The official statistics on productivity growth ________.
    [A] exclude the usual rebound in a business cycle
    [B] fall short of businessmen's anticipation
    [C] meet the expectation of business people
    [D] fail to reflect the true state of economy
    f)從“下文”中說“上文”
    例1 1998 Passage 3
    Few would dispute that the term applies to the Unabomber, whose manifesto, published in 1995, scorns science and longs for return to a pretechnological utopia. But surely that does not mean environmentalists concerned about uncontrolled industrial growth are anti-science, as an essay in US News & World Report last May seemed to suggest.
    The environmentalists, inevitably, respond to such critics. The true enemies of science, argues Paul Ehrlich of Stanford University, a pioneer of environmental studies, are those who question the evidence supporting global warming, the depletion of the ozone layer and other consequences of industrial growth.
    Question: Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    [A] Environmentalists were blamed for anti-science in an essay.
    [B] Politicians are not subject to the labeling of anti-science.
    [C] The "more enlightened" tend to tag others as anti-science.
    [D] Tagging environmentalists as "anti-science" is justifiable
    g) 從“上文”中說“下文”
    例1 2005 Passage 2
    Just as on smoking, voices now come from many quarters insisting that the science about global warming is incomplete, that it's Ok to keep pouring fumes into the air until we know for sure. This is a dangerous game: by the 100 percent of the evidence is in, it may be too late. With the risks obvious and growing, a prudent people would take out an insurance policy now.
    Fortunately, the White House is starting to pay attention. But it's obvious that a majority of the president's advisers still don't take global warming seriously. Instead of a plan of action, they continue to press for more research-a classic case of “paralysis by analysis”.
    Question: What does the author mean by “paralysis by analysis” (Last line, paragraph 4)
    [A]. Endless studies kill action.
    [B]. Careful investigation reveals truth.
    [C]. prudent planning hinders.
    [D]. Extensive research helps decision-making.
    h) 從“宏觀”中說“微觀”
    例1 1996 Passage 1
    You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served.
    Likewise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services.
    例2 2004 Passage 2
    Over the past century, all kinds of unfairness and discrimination have been condemned or made illegal. But one insidious form continues to thrive: alphabetism. This, for those as yet unaware of such a disadvantage, refers to discrimination against those whose surnames begin with a letter in the lower half of the alphabet.
    例1 2005 Passage 2Do you remember all those years when scientists argued that smoking would kill us but the doubters insisted that we didn't know for sure? That the evidence was inconclusive, the science uncertain? That the antismoking lobby was out to destroy our way of life and the government should stay out of the way? Lots of Americans bought that nonsense, and over three decades, some 10 million smokers went to early graves.
    There are upsetting parallels today, as scientists in one wave after another try to awaken us to the growing threat of global warming. The latest was a panel from the National Academy of Sciences, enlisted by the White House, to tell us that the Earth's atmosphere is definitely warming and that the problem is largely man-made.
    i) 從“微觀”中說“宏觀”
    例1 1996 Passage 4
    Among the many shaping factors, I would single out the country's excellent elementary schools; a labor force that welcomed the new technology; the practice of giving premiums to inventors; and above all the American genius for nonverbal, "spatial" thinking about things technological.
    例2 2005 Passage 1The researchers studied the behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food tardily. Above all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.
    j) 從“小事”說“大義”
    例1 2002 Passage 1
    Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses' convention, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself. "Who is that?" the new arrival asked St. Peter. "Oh, that's God," came the reply, "but sometimes he thinks he's a doctor."
    Question: The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are ________.
    [A] impolite to new arrivals
    [B] very conscious of their godlike role
    [C] entitled to some privileges
    [D] very busy even during lunch hours
    例2 2004 Passage 2
    Can this merely be coincidence? One theory, dreamt up in all the spare time enjoyed by the alphabetically disadvantaged, is that the rot sets in early. At the start of the first year in infant school, teachers seat pupils alphabetically from the front, to make it easier to remember their names. So short-sighted Zysman junior gets stuck in the back row, and is rarely asked the improving questions posed by those insensitive teachers. At the time the alphabetically disadvantaged may think they have had a lucky escape. Yet the result may be worse qualifications, because they get less individual attention, as well as less confidence in speaking publicly.
    Question: The 4th paragraph suggests that ________.
    [A] questions are often put to the more intelligent students
    [B] alphabetically disadvantaged students often escape form class
    [C] teachers should pay attention to all of their students
    [D] students should be seated according to their eyesight
