第一篇：北語2014英美文學(xué)專業(yè) 考研回顧

題目不起了好么？

親愛的學(xué)弟學(xué)妹們，大家好~我本科的專業(yè)是對(duì)外漢語，考研選擇的專業(yè)是英語語言文學(xué)，學(xué)校還是母校~如果各位有意向考相似專業(yè)的話本文或許會(huì)有些幫助。

決定考研并選擇換專業(yè)的原因主要有兩點(diǎn)。首先我個(gè)人認(rèn)為本科學(xué)歷在將來可能會(huì)比較吃力，水漲船高，所以我覺得考研也是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的選擇。第二點(diǎn)，也是最重要的一點(diǎn)，是因?yàn)槲覍?duì)自己現(xiàn)在的專業(yè)不是很滿意。不是專業(yè)不夠優(yōu)秀，而是我自己在對(duì)外漢這個(gè)專業(yè)中不夠優(yōu)秀，深層次的原因當(dāng)然是不夠熱愛?；?年多的時(shí)間也沒能讓自己愛上這個(gè)專業(yè)，反而是加深了自己對(duì)英語的熱情，而在英語領(lǐng)域中我又最喜歡文學(xué)方向。英翻過于注重實(shí)用性，外語用又過于學(xué)術(shù)，我進(jìn)去后估計(jì)和本科的結(jié)果一樣。所以便選擇了英美文學(xué)這個(gè)方向。至于學(xué)校嘛。。說實(shí)話，選擇本校純粹是因?yàn)楸拘１容^好考~而且還能和很多朋友繼續(xù)在一個(gè)學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)而已。。

接下來是準(zhǔn)備考試的過程。其實(shí)說真的我準(zhǔn)備的過程是個(gè)很好的例子，只不過是反的而已。。大三下學(xué)期期末的時(shí)候我才決定考這個(gè)專業(yè)，當(dāng)時(shí)可能是6月份。我上網(wǎng)買了6本文學(xué)選讀，然后就開始像看小說那樣開始讀了。?；仡^再看，我認(rèn)為當(dāng)時(shí)的時(shí)間安排有些不好。應(yīng)該有重點(diǎn)地看。重點(diǎn)作家的作品選讀應(yīng)當(dāng)細(xì)看，非重點(diǎn)作家其實(shí)可以粗略一看就好了。這就涉及到哪些作家是重點(diǎn)哪些是非重點(diǎn)了，我建議最好買一本輔導(dǎo)書，比如我買的是星火英語的《英美文學(xué)考點(diǎn)精梳與精練》，這本書還是不錯(cuò)的。里面根據(jù)時(shí)間順序?qū)ξ膶W(xué)史有一個(gè)明確的分期，每個(gè)階段都有名詞解釋、作者作品名和重要作品的選段分析，后面還配有各個(gè)學(xué)校的真題。（但是沒有北語的。。）缺點(diǎn)就是印刷有大問題。不知是不是買到了盜版。。不少重要的作家名字都拼錯(cuò)了，所以一定要多方查證！我看的另外兩本書一本是北語考研指定參考書，常耀信的《美國文學(xué)簡史》，另一本是我自己買的，劉炳善的《英國文學(xué)簡史》看的方法是開始一個(gè)新章節(jié)后先閱讀一遍，把意思大概弄明白，同時(shí)劃出重點(diǎn)的句子（比如作家明顯的寫作特點(diǎn)，某篇重要作品的內(nèi)容、風(fēng)格、意義等）然后找一個(gè)筆記本，按照不同的分期把每個(gè)時(shí)期的時(shí)間跨度、時(shí)期特點(diǎn)，重點(diǎn)名詞解釋以及作家的主要寫作風(fēng)格特點(diǎn)，重要作品名稱和重要作品簡介（簡介可以先不整理，細(xì)讀一遍也可）整理下來。另外我還在百度文庫里找了些英美文學(xué)相關(guān)資料，其中就有不少作家作品介紹這樣的內(nèi)容，還是按照時(shí)間順序分期的，有些還是不錯(cuò)的。

復(fù)習(xí)的時(shí)候做該校的真題是必須的，北語在找真題這方面非常困難，網(wǎng)上只有少量的學(xué)長學(xué)姐回憶版真題。。在這方面我又給大家提供了一個(gè)反例。我之前是在網(wǎng)上看到了北語英美文學(xué)的具體題型和范圍了，但他說得很不詳細(xì)，尤其是專業(yè)課的題型回憶得很零散。于是準(zhǔn)備階段我主要是靠做別校的真題為主。結(jié)果卷子發(fā)下來我就傻了，有道大題完全不會(huì)，后來完全是靠第六感做完的那道題。。所以我想大體說下北語英美文學(xué)的專業(yè)課題型。第一個(gè)是選擇、填空，然后是名詞解釋，再就是給你一段作品中的選段，寫出作家、作品名并解釋劃線句子（我就是栽在這里了）最后一題是essay，考的都比較靈活，比如今年就是就一個(gè)主題談你的看法，要結(jié)合起碼兩部作品，英國美國各至少一部）。當(dāng)然對(duì)真題自然是越熟悉越好了，網(wǎng)上有個(gè)愛北語論壇，里面有很多真題回憶還有學(xué)長學(xué)姐建議的，不過很多都在精華區(qū)，水點(diǎn)經(jīng)驗(yàn)升下級(jí)就能看了。

接下來說一下準(zhǔn)備過程中的“心路歷程”吧。。一開始的話肯定是不緊不慢的，我這人就是有拖延癥，好多事都是拖到最后關(guān)頭然后玩兒命的干。這樣特別不好，但我也不建議大家一開始就玩命兒學(xué)，沒必要。一天學(xué)5、6個(gè)小時(shí)就夠了，我是先把重點(diǎn)放在了專業(yè)課上，基礎(chǔ)英語也買了本書開始做題（用的也是星火英語的考研基礎(chǔ)英語部分，又開了一個(gè)積累用的筆記本，遇到好的用法新的知識(shí)點(diǎn)就記下來）二外因?yàn)槲覍W(xué)過3年日語還有點(diǎn)基礎(chǔ)所以沒有花太多時(shí)間準(zhǔn)備。如果你二外沒怎么學(xué)過現(xiàn)在一定要抓緊了！日語的話范圍是標(biāo)日初級(jí)的兩本書，中級(jí)上冊(cè)可能會(huì)涉及一點(diǎn)，但是很少。政治我不建議現(xiàn)在準(zhǔn)備，最好是考試前3、4個(gè)月再開始。因?yàn)檎魏芏嗍呛蜔狳c(diǎn)結(jié)合的，看得太早了也沒用。（政治參考書我選的是風(fēng)中勁草系列還有肖秀榮的最后幾套模擬卷，今年肖哥押中了幾道大題，在下佩服得五體投地）

當(dāng)然也有感到迷茫、緊張的時(shí)候。有段時(shí)間真的感覺自己成功考上的機(jī)會(huì)很小了，畢竟和我競爭的都是英語專業(yè)出身的人，專業(yè)課方面我應(yīng)該不占優(yōu)勢。后期復(fù)習(xí)政治的時(shí)候也深感絕望，那些知識(shí)點(diǎn)怎么背都記不住，就像是在快要漲潮的沙灘上寫字一樣，有時(shí)候恨不得一整天都在看政治然后回頭想今天學(xué)了什么，腦袋里卻一片空白。但是這樣負(fù)面的想法沒有持續(xù)太久。我調(diào)整了自己的心態(tài)。一般面臨比較大的挑戰(zhàn)之前我都會(huì)想想這個(gè)事情最壞的情況是什么。當(dāng)我發(fā)現(xiàn)最壞的情況不過是沒考上的時(shí)候我就釋然了。。不就是沒考上嗎，我可以找個(gè)工作繼續(xù)準(zhǔn)備一年，北語不要我明年可以去北外啊，未必就是壞事。況且考研失利，找份臨時(shí)工作再二戰(zhàn)這也是一個(gè)很寶貴的經(jīng)歷，多走些彎路才能鍛煉人不是么。當(dāng)我發(fā)現(xiàn)最壞的情況也沒有那么壞之后我就放下了心中的包袱，光腳不怕穿鞋的嘛。我本身一無所有，了無牽掛，輸了大不了從頭再來。就這樣我心態(tài)調(diào)整的還比較好，每天大部分學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)間都能集中精力復(fù)習(xí)，甚至到后面都學(xué)上癮了，開始享受這種充實(shí)的生活了。因?yàn)榇髮W(xué)前三年的大部分時(shí)間我都荒廢掉了，換來的只有空虛。也不知道自己應(yīng)該做什么，每天都在瞎忙些什么。所以考研這段時(shí)間，朝著一個(gè)目標(biāo)努力奮斗的狀態(tài)我真的特別喜歡！有時(shí)候我都希望沒考上，這樣我就能繼續(xù)維持著這樣的生活狀態(tài)了。。

至于后來的復(fù)試說多了都是淚。我只是建議大家一定要提前問清楚復(fù)試的范圍。我理所當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為”專業(yè)課筆試”只是考英美文學(xué)而已，就沒仔細(xì)找考試范圍。結(jié)果復(fù)試兩周前我才知道筆試要考（五個(gè)方向：現(xiàn)漢、古漢、英美國家概況、語言學(xué)、英美文學(xué)）當(dāng)時(shí)就傻了，因?yàn)槿绻P試不及格不管其他成績?nèi)绾我宦刹挥桎浫?。于是拼命地看書，幸好后來得知范圍縮小了，取消了現(xiàn)漢古漢。但是對(duì)我還是很不利，畢竟有兩本我完全沒看過的書啊。那兩周真是過得非常痛苦，恨不得吃飯的時(shí)候都在看。最后好不容易66分險(xiǎn)過。復(fù)試的面試大家放平心態(tài)就好了，真的難度不大。日語就根據(jù)你的自我介紹看你的發(fā)音如何，再問幾個(gè)簡單問題。專業(yè)課用英語和老師們會(huì)話，他們可能會(huì)先問你一些學(xué)校、生活方面的問題，還問了我讀過哪些英文原著，最喜歡哪個(gè)作家，然后問了一個(gè)跟那個(gè)作家作品相關(guān)的問題?？傊€是要平常心吧，只管面帶微笑就好，你的笑容會(huì)感染他人的，在一個(gè)友好的氣氛中更利于自己的發(fā)揮。

希望以上的扯淡能給大家提供一些幫助。祝各位馬到成功！加油！~

A summery of first two lessons

From the previous classes, we＇ve essentially get an brief idea of some basic knowledge about the United Kingdom.The main knowledge points can be concluded as follows:

The full name of the complicated country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.Britain is no longer an imperial country, though its past has huge effects.The two main effects respectively lie in Britain＇international relationships and the make-up of the British population.UK, as a multiracial society, has the remarkable class regional and economic differences.London, the capital and the largest city, is dominant in the UK in all fields.England, the largest in geography and population of the four nations, dominant in culture and economy.A British invasions history which experiences from stages.Scotland, the most confident of its own identity, has spent a history as a unified state independent of the UK.Scotland joined the Union by agreement of the English and Scottish parliament.A brief introduction to Wales.Northern Ireland has an active cultural life but has its problems because of the conflicts and the influence of UK.Irish desires for an indepent Irish state all the time, therefore issues accurred in frequent succession.The Home Rule Bill, the East Rising of 1916 and the Sinn Fein Party made Irish independent.There exists religious conflicts between the Irish and the British because of the ethnical distinction.British government organised a partition of Ireland as a compromise.More violent campaign, IRA＇s violence and Bloody Sunday.In order to halt the terrible conflicts, Ireland and Great Britain aim to cooperate with each other and arrive at a resolution.Finally, the Good Friday Agreement was emerged.Learning first two lessons has laid a good foundation for our further study on the following lessons.I＇m looking forward to comprehend more knowledge about British politics, economy, culture and foreign relations and so on.

SIR THOMAS MALORY

(1405-1471)

The OutlineI.SIR THOMAS MALORY

II.Morte d' Arthur《亞瑟王之死》

III.Questions for Discussion

.SIR THOMAS MALORY(1405-1471)

Life: He was very rich because he inherited a

considerable estate in Warwickshire(a county in west

central England)upon his father's death in 1433 and he

seems to have quickly become drawn into the turmoil of

local politics.In 1445, he became a Member of

Parliament for his county: a rather unstable area during

this time because the usually powerful Earl of Warwick,was only in his mid-teens.A lot of political affairs in Warwickshire led Sir

Thomas into his numerous clashes with the law.From

1444 onwards, he was caught up in raids(襲擊)on the

attacks on the Duke of Buckingham and Combe Abbey

大修道院,大寺院 , as well as a number of thefts in the county

of Essex.Keen to blacken his name, Sir Thomas'

enemies branded(給某人加上污名)him “a rapist, church-

robber, extortioner(勒索者，敲詐者)and would-be

murderer".Unlucky or incompetent,Sir Thomas was certainly in prison almost

continuously throughout the 1450s, though he did

escape several times.His pardon came to him in

October 1462, followed by military service in

Northumbria.From then on he kept his head down,but may have become embroiled(使卷入)in Cook's

Conspiracy(陰謀活動(dòng))of 1468, for which he was

imprisoned.There, he turned to writing and earned

eternal fame.Sir Thomas died on 12th March 1471,probably in Newgate Prison(London).He was buried in the nearby Friary Church of St.Francis.II.Morte d' Arthur

《亞瑟王之死》

Malory's tale begins with the mysterious birth of Arthur and ends with his equally mysterious death.The central concern is with the adventures of Arthur and his famous Knights of the Round Table.The knights fight many battles and win glory, all of which is a credit to the name of King Arthur.Near the end of the story, however, the tide of good fortune turns.Launcelot, one of Arthur's knights, falls in love with Arfhur's queen, Guinever, and the lady

returns his love.One by one the other knight become discontented(使不滿), selfish, or

disillusioned(使醒悟;使不再抱幻想;使...的理想破滅).Thus weakened, the kingdom is attacked by force under Sir Mordred, Arthur's treacherous(背叛的;不忠的)nephew, and ultimately it goes down in defeat.Arthur is borne away(被...所驅(qū)使)on a barge(大型平底船)by three mysterious ladies of the Lake.Morte d‘Arthur was written in a time of transition.The feudal order was dying.By the time Malory began writing his story, soldiers were fighting with gunpowder, a middle class of

tradesmen was arising;and the practices of chivalry were being replaced(代替,取代)by a new aristocratic code.Malory, in a desire to escape the disorder and uneasiness of his day,tried to recapture lost ideals of the romantic past as recounted(敘述,講述)in his tale of noble kings, adventurous knights, and damsels(少女;閨女)in distress(悲痛;苦惱;憂傷;貧困,窮苦;危難;不幸;引起痛苦或悲痛的事物).This book is very important in English literature.Its Arthurian materials have a strong influence on literature of later centuries.III.Questions for Discussion
