2016年新大纲——考研英语(一)新题

型及复习策略

千呼万唤中,《2016年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(一)考试大纲》终于揭开了其神秘的面纱。万学海文名师第一时间,深度剖析本年大纲,透视其后体现出来的考点,以飨众多考生。总体而言,2016年的考研英语大纲呈稳定态势,其考试要求,大纲话术乃至出题形式完全一致。这就告知,各位考生可以按部就班,从容应对了,尤其在新题型部分未作明显变动,下面谈谈新题型的备考。

英语新题型是2005年新增加题型,许多同学复习时对这种题目把握不准,加上可以借鉴的考研真题数量比较少,参考资料少,很多考生都感觉复习起来比较困难。下面的分析定能帮大家理清思路。

《大纲》明确规定,新题型主要考查“考生对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征以及文章结构的理解”。这个题体现在试卷第二部分阅读理解中的B节,为一篇500-600词的文章,共5道题,总分10分。有四种备选题型:

1)完型填句/段:一篇文章中有5处空白,文章后有6-7段文字,要求考生根据文章内容从6-7个句子或是段落中选取能分别放进文章中5个空白处的5段内容;

2)段落排序题:在一篇文章中,各段落的原有顺序已经被打乱,要求考生根据文章内容重新排序;

3)观点例证题:在一篇文章后有6-7段文字或概括句要求考生根据文章内容,从这6-7个选项中选出最恰当的5段文字填入文章的空白处;

4)标题选择题:在一篇文章前有6-7个小标题要求考生根据文章内容,从这6-7个选项中选出最恰当的5个小标题填入文章的空白处。每年会从这四种备选题型中,选择一种来考查大家。

虽新题型有四种备选题型,但请广大考生放心,这四种题型考查形式不一样,但其考查原理,考查逻辑乃至命题要求完全是一致的。它在很大程度上是对传统的测试题型进行了必要的补充完善,不只立足考核考生对语言知识的掌握,而且更加侧重考核考生对语言知识应用的技能。备考新题型时一定要从整体上把握文章,包括逻辑构造、写作思路等,并且理解句子与句子,段落与段落之间的关系。做题时,可以按照先易后难的顺序,一边读文章,一边读选项,在文章中查找到含有相关信息的句子,对关键的词,短语,线索进行圈定,顺藤摸瓜,选择出最合适的答案。

新题型重点考查考生对文章连贯性一致性的把握,万学海文公共课教研中心的教师提醒考生,在复习新题型的时候,一定要注重把握文章的整体结构,加强对文章脉络的掌控,从而提高做题准确率。万学海文推荐诸考生在应对此题时,可按以下步骤进行:

1.运用浏览式阅读方法找出主题句,抓住文章结构。

2.用跳跃式阅读方法找出主题句,抓住文章结构。

3.阅读选择项,寻找特征词:代词、专用名词、连接词、数字、复数名词等。

4.回头再去看原文,明确1-5位置

①开头常是主题句,不行再看前和尾;

②中间不忘主题句,前瞻后望找启示;

③末尾常是下结论,也可排比和例子。

5.用代入法通读全文,检查答案是否合理。

此外,万学海文特地提醒广大考生,虽新题型有四种备选题型,但每年仅从中选择一种考查大家,如在05-15年中,其中7次考查完型填句/空(05,06,08,09,12,13,15),3次考查排序题(10,11,14),1次考查标题选择题(07);并且每题型考查侧重点,乃至难度有些许差别,四个题型中,标题选择题,观点例证题难度系数最低,而完形填句(段)题和排序题,是对语言能力和阅读理解能力的综合测试,难度相对较高。而且,从历年考频来看,我们相信完型填句/段,排序题的威力仍无限,出现的几率也最大。因而,在今后备考中,万学海文建议广大考生:1.整体把握各个题型特点,以及应对之道;2.必须重点把握完型填句/段以及排序题,必须熟稔这两个高频题型的应对。

最后,希望广大学子在今后的备考中,能脚踏实地,有的放矢地进行备考相关工作。代表万学海文预祝2016学子能马到成功,金榜题名!

凯程考研的宗旨:让学习成为一种习惯;

凯程考研的价值观口号:凯旋归来,前程万里;

信念:让每个学员都有好最好的归宿;

使命:完善全新的教育模式,做中国最专业的考研辅导机构;

激情:永不言弃,乐观向上;

敬业:以专业的态度做非凡的事业;

服务:以学员的前途为已任,为学员提供高效、专业的服务,团队合作,为学员服务,为学员引路。

如何选择考研辅导班:

在考研准备的过程中,会遇到不少困难,尤其对于跨专业考生的专业课来说,通过报辅导班来弥补自己复习的不足,可以大大提高复习效率,节省复习时间,大家可以通过以下几个方面来考察辅导班,或许能帮你找到适合你的辅导班。

师资力量:师资力量是考察辅导班的首要因素,考生可以针对辅导名师的辅导年限、辅导经验、历年辅导效果、学员评价等因素进行综合评价,询问往届学长然后选择。判断师资力量关键在于综合实力,因为任何一门课程,都不是由一、两个教师包到底的,是一批教师配合的结果。还要深入了解教师的学术背景、资料著述成就、辅导成就等。凯程考研名师云集,李海洋、张鑫教授、方浩教授、卢营教授、孙浩教授等一大批名师在凯程授课。而有的机构只是很普通的老师授课,对知识点把握和命题方向,欠缺火候。

对该专业有辅导历史:必须对该专业深刻理解,才能深入辅导学员考取该校。在考研辅导班中,从来见过如此辉煌的成绩:凯程教育拿下2015五道口金融学院状元,考取五道口15人,清华经管金融硕士10人,人大金融硕士15个,中财和贸大金融硕士合计20人,北师大教育学7人,会计硕士保录班考取30人,翻译硕士接近20人,中传状元王园璐、郑家威都是来自凯程,法学方面,凯程在人大、北大、贸大、政法、武汉大学、公安大学等院校斩获多个法学和法硕状元,更多专业成绩请查看凯程网站。在凯程官方网站的光荣榜,成功学员经验谈视频特别多,都是凯程战绩的最好证明。对于如此高的成绩,凯程集训营班主任邢老师说,凯程如此优异的成绩,是与我们凯程严格的管理,全方位的辅导是分不开的,很多学生本科都不是名校,某些学生来自二本三本甚至不知名的院校,还有很多是工作了多年才回来考的,大多数是跨专业考研,他们的难度大,竞争激烈,没有严格的训练和同学们的刻苦学习,是很难达到优异的成绩。最好的办法是直接和凯程老师详细沟通一下就清楚了。

建校历史:机构成立的历史也是一个参考因素,历史越久,积累的人脉资源更多。例如,凯程教育已经成立10年(2005年),一直以来专注于考研,成功率一直遥遥领先,同学们有兴趣可以联系一下他们在线老师或者电话。

有没有实体学校校区:有些机构比较小,就是一个在写字楼里上课,自习,这种环境是不太好的,一个优秀的机构必须是在教学环境,大学校园这样环境。凯程有自己的学习校区,有吃住学一体化教学环境,独立卫浴、空调、暖气齐全,这也是一个考研机构实力的体现。此外,最好还要看一下他们的营业执照。

There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the blanks. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points) Long before Man lived on the Earth, there were fishes, reptiles, birds, insects, and some mammals. Although some of these animals were ancestors of kinds living today, others are now extinct, that is, they have no descendants alive now. 41) ________ Very occasionally the rocks show impression of skin, so that, apart from color, we can build up a reasonably accurate picture of an animal that died millions of years ago. The kind of rock in which the remains are found tells us much about the nature of the original land, often of the plants that grew on it, and even of its climate. 42) ________. Nearly all of the fossils that we know were preserved in rocks formed by water action, and most of these are of animals that lived in or near water. Thus it follows that there must be many kinds of mammals, birds, and insects of which we know nothing. 43) ________ There were also crab-like creatures, whose bodies were covered with a horny substance. The body segments each had two pairs of legs, one pair for walking on the sandy bottom, the other for swimming. The head was a kind of shield with a pair of compound eyes, often with thousands of lenses. They were usually an inch or two long but some were 2 feet. 44) ________. Of these, the ammonites are very interesting and important. They have a shell composed of many chambers, each representing a temporary home of the animal. As the young grew larger it grew a new chamber and sealed off the previous one. Thousands of these can be seen in the rocks on the Dorset Coast. 45) ________. About 75 million years ago the Age of Reptiles was over and most of the groups died out. The mammals quickly developed, and we can trace the evolution of many familiar animals such as the elephant and horse. Many of the later mammals, though now extinct, were known to primitive man and were featured by him in cave paintings and on bone carvings. [A]The shellfish have a long history in the rock and many different kinds are known. [B]Nevertheless, we know a great deal about many of them because their bones and shells have been preserved in the rocks as fossils. From them we can tell their size and shape, how they walked, the kind of food they ate. [C]The first animals with true backbones were the fishes, first known in the rocks of 375 million years ago. About 300 million years ago the amphibians, the animals able to live both on land and in water, appeared. They were giant, sometimes 8 feet long, and many of them lived in the swampy pools in which our coal seam, or layer, formed. The amphibians gave rise to the reptiles and for nearly 150 million years these were the principal forms of life on land, in the

We don’t have to learn how to be mentally healthy; it is built into us in the same way that our bodies know how to heal a cut or mend a broken bone. 我们不必学习如何保持健康的心理;它与生俱来,正如我们的身体知道如何让伤口痊愈,如何让骨折好转。 47. Our mental health doesn’t really go anywhere; like the sun behind a cloud, it can be temporarily hidden from view, but it is fully capable of being restored in an instant. 健康的心理其实一直都在我们身边;正如乌云背后的太阳,人们有时会看不见它,但是它完全有能力立刻回来。 48.

For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points) Canada’s premiers (the leaders of provincial governments), if they have any breath left after complaining about Ottawa at their late July annual meeting, might spare a moment to do something, together, to reduce health-care costs. They’re all groaning about soaring health budgets, the fastest-growing component of which are pharmaceutical costs. 41. ________ What to do? Both the Romanow commission and the Kirby committee on health care -- to say nothing of reports from other experts -- recommended the creation of a national drug agency. Instead of each province having its own list of approved drugs, bureaucracy, procedures and limited bargaining power, all would pool resources, work with Ottawa, and create a national institution. 42. ________ But “national” doesn’t have to mean that. “National” could mean interprovincial -- provinces combining efforts to create one body. Either way, one benefit of a “national” organization would be to negotiate better prices, if possible, with drug manufacturers. Instead of having one province -- or a series of hospitals within a province -- negotiate a price for a given drug on the provincial list, the national agency would negotiate on behalf of all provinces. Rather than, say, Quebec, negotiating on behalf of seven million people, the national agency would negotiate on behalf of 31 million people. Basic economics suggests the greater the potential consumers, the higher the likelihood of a better price. 43. ________ A small step has been taken in the direction of a national agency with the creation of the Canadian Coordinating Office for Health Technology Assessment, funded by Ottawa and the provinces. Under it, a Common Drug Review recommends to provincial lists which new drugs should be included. Predictably, and regrettably, Quebec refused to join. A few premiers are suspicious of any federal-provincial deal-making. They (particularly Quebec and Alberta) just want Ottawa to fork over additional billions with few, if any, strings attached. That’s one reason why the idea of a national list hasn’t gone anywhere while drug costs keep rising fast. 44. ________

2018考研英语一、二新题型及完型深度 解析 各位参加2015年考研考试的亲爱学子大家好,这次考试英语顺利的落下了帷幕,大家特别关心今年新题型和完形填空,我用一点时间讲讲新题型和完形填空的情况。 {C}一、{C}新题型考察简单 {C}1、{C}英语一:段落句子填空题 首先完形填空新题型纯粹是波澜不惊,他基本上保持了考研英语命题稳健的基本优点。今年在考试过程中,我们说不管是英语一还是英语二的题型,基本上让广大的考生考出自己的水平。 另外,今年的题型比较简单。比如说在2014年初考试的时候,英语一的新题型考到了培训,而这次新题型考的是常见的段落句子填空题。 这篇文章出题风格和往年不一样,往年往往是五个独立段落,或者是在某一段的最后一段出一道题,比如说42题、43题,都是在我们的段尾出题,但是41、44、45都是段落中间出的题,这一点在降低难度,而不是在提高难度。 这篇文章注意一下来自于马丁所著的一本书《阅读的方法》讲的是高级阅读技巧,这本书的第一单元就是这个。 以下是英语一新题型参考答案: 41题正确答案选的是C。非常简单,只要找到这篇文章只要对一下就全出来了。这里我们说最主要的是这句话,对于这句话我们41题选择的是C,在这里这个词它也可以对应后面的句子。 42题是E。你可以做进一步的推理,关于这个课文的重要。我们之所以选择E,因为E 空前的两句都重复了“推理”这样的字眼。还有E段的最后也提出了读者的推测。所以选择E。 43题是G。这个考点和去年的考点差不多。 44题是B。B选项的意思是因素。 45题是A。A具体描述了许多不同的阅读路径和方式,这是对45空前后的细化。 2、英语二:小标题题 对于英语二的新题型这次考的小标题题,这一点老师们和同学民都预测到了,而今天考的小标题题又是简单的。 这里说一下英语二的新题型。今年考的是要小标题题,这篇文章选自外国网站上的文章。他讲的是能够帮助你渡过困难时刻的一些古老的秘诀,能够帮助你渡过人生比较困难的时刻。 对于这篇文章相对来说比较简单,我们找到了这篇文章在网站上的出处,你会发现我们的命题人越来越中规中矩。我们知道命题人在很大的程度上要和全国160万的考生斗智斗勇,他不能有太多的把柄和错误被广大的考生抓住,所以你会发现今年的这篇文章在报刊上
