第一篇：北語2014英美文學專業 考研回顧

題目不起了好么？

親愛的學弟學妹們，大家好~我本科的專業是對外漢語，考研選擇的專業是英語語言文學，學校還是母校~如果各位有意向考相似專業的話本文或許會有些幫助。

決定考研并選擇換專業的原因主要有兩點。首先我個人認為本科學歷在將來可能會比較吃力，水漲船高，所以我覺得考研也是個不錯的選擇。第二點，也是最重要的一點，是因為我對自己現在的專業不是很滿意。不是專業不夠優秀，而是我自己在對外漢這個專業中不夠優秀，深層次的原因當然是不夠熱愛。花了3年多的時間也沒能讓自己愛上這個專業，反而是加深了自己對英語的熱情，而在英語領域中我又最喜歡文學方向。英翻過于注重實用性，外語用又過于學術，我進去后估計和本科的結果一樣。所以便選擇了英美文學這個方向。至于學校嘛。。說實話，選擇本校純粹是因為本校比較好考~而且還能和很多朋友繼續在一個學校學習而已。。

接下來是準備考試的過程。其實說真的我準備的過程是個很好的例子，只不過是反的而已。。大三下學期期末的時候我才決定考這個專業，當時可能是6月份。我上網買了6本文學選讀，然后就開始像看小說那樣開始讀了。。回頭再看，我認為當時的時間安排有些不好。應該有重點地看。重點作家的作品選讀應當細看，非重點作家其實可以粗略一看就好了。這就涉及到哪些作家是重點哪些是非重點了，我建議最好買一本輔導書，比如我買的是星火英語的《英美文學考點精梳與精練》，這本書還是不錯的。里面根據時間順序對文學史有一個明確的分期，每個階段都有名詞解釋、作者作品名和重要作品的選段分析，后面還配有各個學校的真題。（但是沒有北語的。。）缺點就是印刷有大問題。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《美國文學簡史》，另一本是我自己買的，劉炳善的《英國文學簡史》看的方法是開始一個新章節后先閱讀一遍，把意思大概弄明白，同時劃出重點的句子（比如作家明顯的寫作特點，某篇重要作品的內容、風格、意義等）然后找一個筆記本，按照不同的分期把每個時期的時間跨度、時期特點，重點名詞解釋以及作家的主要寫作風格特點，重要作品名稱和重要作品簡介（簡介可以先不整理，細讀一遍也可）整理下來。另外我還在百度文庫里找了些英美文學相關資料，其中就有不少作家作品介紹這樣的內容，還是按照時間順序分期的，有些還是不錯的。

復習的時候做該校的真題是必須的，北語在找真題這方面非常困難，網上只有少量的學長學姐回憶版真題。。在這方面我又給大家提供了一個反例。我之前是在網上看到了北語英美文學的具體題型和范圍了，但他說得很不詳細，尤其是專業課的題型回憶得很零散。于是準備階段我主要是靠做別校的真題為主。結果卷子發下來我就傻了，有道大題完全不會，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的專業課題型。第一個是選擇、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主題談你的看法，要結合起碼兩部作品，英國美國各至少一部）。當然對真題自然是越熟悉越好了，網上有個愛北語論壇，里面有很多真題回憶還有學長學姐建議的，不過很多都在精華區，水點經驗升下級就能看了。

接下來說一下準備過程中的“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，沒必要。一天學5、6個小時就夠了，我是先把重點放在了專業課上，基礎英語也買了本書開始做題（用的也是星火英語的考研基礎英語部分，又開了一個積累用的筆記本，遇到好的用法新的知識點就記下來）二外因為我學過3年日語還有點基礎所以沒有花太多時間準備。如果你二外沒怎么學過現在一定要抓緊了！日語的話范圍是標日初級的兩本書，中級上冊可能會涉及一點，但是很少。政治我不建議現在準備，最好是考試前3、4個月再開始。因為政治很多是和熱點結合的，看得太早了也沒用。（政治參考書我選的是風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）

當然也有感到迷茫、緊張的時候。有段時間真的感覺自己成功考上的機會很小了，畢竟和我競爭的都是英語專業出身的人，專業課方面我應該不占優勢。后期復習政治的時候也深感絕望，那些知識點怎么背都記不住，就像是在快要漲潮的沙灘上寫字一樣，有時候恨不得一整天都在看政治然后回頭想今天學了什么，腦袋里卻一片空白。但是這樣負面的想法沒有持續太久。我調整了自己的心態。一般面臨比較大的挑戰之前我都會想想這個事情最壞的情況是什么。當我發現最壞的情況不過是沒考上的時候我就釋然了。。不就是沒考上嗎，我可以找個工作繼續準備一年，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，找份臨時工作再二戰這也是一個很寶貴的經歷，多走些彎路才能鍛煉人不是么。當我發現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。就這樣我心態調整的還比較好，每天大部分學習的時間都能集中精力復習，甚至到后面都學上癮了，開始享受這種充實的生活了。因為大學前三年的大部分時間我都荒廢掉了，換來的只有空虛。也不知道自己應該做什么，每天都在瞎忙些什么。所以考研這段時間，朝著一個目標努力奮斗的狀態我真的特別喜歡！有時候我都希望沒考上，這樣我就能繼續維持著這樣的生活狀態了。。

至于后來的復試說多了都是淚。我只是建議大家一定要提前問清楚復試的范圍。我理所當然地認為”專業課筆試”只是考英美文學而已，就沒仔細找考試范圍。結果復試兩周前我才知道筆試要考（五個方向：現漢、古漢、英美國家概況、語言學、英美文學）當時就傻了，因為如果筆試不及格不管其他成績如何一律不予錄取。于是拼命地看書，幸好后來得知范圍縮小了，取消了現漢古漢。但是對我還是很不利，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，恨不得吃飯的時候都在看。最后好不容易66分險過。復試的面試大家放平心態就好了，真的難度不大。日語就根據你的自我介紹看你的發音如何，再問幾個簡單問題。專業課用英語和老師們會話，他們可能會先問你一些學校、生活方面的問題，還問了我讀過哪些英文原著，最喜歡哪個作家，然后問了一個跟那個作家作品相關的問題。總之還是要平常心吧，只管面帶微笑就好，你的笑容會感染他人的，在一個友好的氣氛中更利于自己的發揮。

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)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

1.What are the features of Popular Ballads?

2.What is the story of Morte d‘Arthur ?

3.Why is Sir Thomas Malory an important writer the 15th century?
