学渣真实感受告诉你考研英语很难吗

了解考研真题就可以把握考研的方向，知道考研的难度。历年真题是考生了解考研英语最直接最有效的途径，建议大家一定要一遍一遍弄懂考研真题（我当时用的是考研真相），掌握考研英语的规律，临考时才真正能做到胸有成竹。下面我给各位分享一下考研英语复习经验，让大家看看考研英语到底有多难？

考研的真题就是权威，既使其他辅导参考资料再"牛逼"也得围绕真题来设计并尽量来模仿真题。辅导资料哪家强《考研真相》排最强，这绝对是我见过的最牛逼的真题资料了。

一、认识真题

了解《考研真相》英语真题题材，体彩语言风格等，了解词汇特征和句子特色。因为真题要反复做，所以前几遍都是把自己的答案写在一张A4纸上，第一遍也就是让自己熟悉下真题的感觉，让自己知道英语真题的大概难度，只做阅读理解，新题型完形填空暑假开始即可。

二、扫清障碍

把《考研真相》里面看到阅读部分都进行了逐字逐句的详解，尤其是里面的词汇注释部分，它包含的方面特别全，省去了查词典的麻烦，能为你复习节省好的时间。你可以利用它来巩固词汇，一天过两篇阅读的同时，可以把不会的单词全部记下来，包括题目，选项里面不会的单词。

三、一探究竟

这过程很考验语法，需要对《考研真相》文章里面当然包括题目和选项每一个句子进行深入分析，句子结构，语法要点等。《考研真相》就对考研真题进行了逐句的解析，刚好可以直接拿来用。我本来打算把单词和语法一起复习的，但是最后还是选择分开来吧，这样子会条理更清晰嘛。大都在利用真相专研阅读的时候

记得差不多了，更何况第一遍过词汇时也用的是阅读真题逐句精讲，所以语法就非常好记了。

四、刨根问底

前面已经夯实了基础，通篇翻译是最痛苦的过程，把自己写的翻译和《考研真相》里面的常规译文和升级译文多进行对比，发现自己的不足，进行改正，这样你就可以进步。不要以为你看得懂一个句子就能写出它的翻译，不要自以为然，一定要在纸上写，写完对照参考书上的译文订正。这是一个极大的提高，写完你才能发现自己的盲点。而且，这一阶段做的好，后面的翻译基本不用复习，也节省了复习翻译的时间。

五、看清本质

考研的英语阅读最令同学们抓狂的一点就是太有迷惑性，所以最后一步必须要研究答案的干扰项和正确选项，但技巧终归是技巧，是在你基础都打好的情况下辅助用的所以前期基础是至关重要的。所以请大家务必利用好《考研真相》。每一位同学都要结合自己的特点制定适合自己的学习方法，切不可盲目照搬别人的复习经验。

理工科考生考研英语如何取得高分

理工科考生考研英语如何取得高分 我是一名刚从战场上下来的考生，经历了一场历练，有很多话想和考研的同学分享。本人今年英语78分，和大家说说我的英语复习经验吧。 我是一个不折不扣的理工科学生，一直对计算机、数学和物理等理工学科着迷，同时也对英语学习十分感兴趣。我的理工科成绩还算不错，可无论我怎么努力，我的英语成绩一直都比理工科成绩要更好。我一直认为，英语是属于文科范畴的，要学好它必须发散的思维方式。 所谓的发散思维方式，也就是文科的思维方式去学习英语，重中之重就是要努力培养英语的语感。如当我们分析考研英语中那些复杂难懂的长难句时，如果仅仅硬套那些艰涩复杂的语法，其效率可想而知。我们的目的是培养英语语感，凭借感觉像看武侠小说那样对句子进行分析，效率大大提高的同时整个过程也不再枯燥无味。 英语学习其实就是编织一个很大的记忆网，网的每个节点是单词、固定搭配、短语或者句子等，而每一个节点都不是孤立的，会和其他节点产生千丝万缕的复杂联系。这就是发散型思维，你从一个单词能联想到另外一个单词、短语或者是句子，这样你的感觉和灵感就会源源不断地涌现出来。这个网的节点越多，节点与节点之间的联系越多，你的英语水平也就越高。这里要强调的是，英语学习靠的是平时长期持之以恒的积累和练习，只有这样才能不断地将新节点加入记忆网中，节点与节点之间的联系也会越来越多。 下面我举例来说明如何利用发散型思维培养英语的语感。每一个具体的例子也是考研英语的一个重要考点，如果我们将精力集中在这些重要的考点上，会取得事倍功半的效果。 1.考研英语重点考查“多态单词” 单词是整个英语学习的基础。我们平时爱捧着单词书背单词，但是记住一个单词的拼写和所有汉语释意并不代表你已经“占有”了这个单词，尤其是对那些意思特别丰富而且使用

Chapter 4 Phonology(音位学) 4.1 phonetics and phonology:语音学与音位学的区分 Both phonetics and phonology are concerned with speech.语音学和音位学都士对语音的研究。 定义区别 -Phonetics is a study of the production, perception and physical properties of speech sounds. 语音学是研究语音的生产、感知和物理性质的。 -Phonology studies how speech sounds are combined，organized，and convey meanings in particular languages.研究语音如何在在特定的语言中结合、组织和表达含义。 ---Phonology is language-specific.it is the study of how sounds are organized and used in natural languages.音位学是特定于语言的。它的研究对象是自然语言中的声音是如何组织和使用的。 ---Phonetics is a study of speech sounds while phonology is a study of the sound syst em of a language.语音学是一个研究语音的然后音位学是研究一种语言的声音系统的学科。 4.2 Phonemes，phones and allophones 音位、音子、音位变体 Different languages have different phonological systems.不同的语言有不同的语音系统。 定义： ①Phones are the smallest identifiable phonetic unit or segment found in a stream of speech. 音子就是在连续的发音中可辨认的最小语音单位或片段。 ②Allophones are the phones which represent a phoneme in a language and cannot change word meaning by substituting any of the set for another.音位变体是指代表语言中音位的音子，即使以一个取代另一个也不改变词义。 ③Phonemes are the minimal distinctive units in the sound system of a language.音位是语言系统中最小的独特的单位。 Allophones are the realization of a particular phoneme while phones are the realizatio n of phonemes in general.音位变体是一个特定音素的认知而音子则是一般的音素。 4.3Minimal pairs 最小对立体 The phonologist is concerned with what difference are significant or technically speaki ng, distinctive. Minimal pair---a pair of words which differ from each other by one sound. Three conditions（情况）: 1）the two froms are different in meaning意义不同 2）the two forms are different in one sound segment声音片段不同 3）the different sounds occur in the same position of the two words.不同声音发生在两个单词的相同位置 Minimal set: a group of words can satisfy（满足）the three conditions . Minimal pairs help determine phonemes. 最小对立体用来定义音位。 4.4 identifying phonemes 识别音素 4.4.1 contrastive distribution，complementary distribution and free variation 对比分布，互补分布和自由变异 The distribution of a sound refers to the collective environments in which the sound concerned may appear.一个声音的分布是指其有关的声音可能出现的集体环境。 1）contrastive distribution对比分布 If two or more sounds can occur in the same environment and the substitution of on

南京师范大学英语语言学考研复试经验813-精选

南京师范大学英语语言学考研复试经验 南师英语语言文学下的语言学方向和外应初试和复试考的是一样的，只是进去后的研究方向不同。 楼主初试总分398，排名第二，政治68，日语94，专业一117，专业二119，复试笔试122，面试80，口语82，最后综合排名也是第二。 查分后，对结果不满意的，可以申请复查，但基本不会有变动。 看过17年的题，比16年略微简单点，所以分数线应该会偏高一点。去年外应最高分402，然后就是398，397，393，389。英语语言文学初试最高399，录取的最低为373。 这个复试线基本就是按照大家的成绩来确定的(当然，最后扩招的话，就另当别论了。我们去年是扩招了，今年不清楚。上课到现在，老师也没给我们透露过，这样也好，对大家都公平)。去年是1:1.2的比例确定进复试名额的，比如总共招5个人，那么进复试的有6个人。这个比例还算好的。我闺蜜，去年考陕师大，1:2的比例，对半刷，比南师狠。 那么重点来了，去年，我们可以给学长(南师研究生贴吧里有学长可以帮忙查排名，具体帖子自己去找)发邮件，查排名，然后按照1:1.2的比例，结合招生官网的录取人数，就可以算出来自己能不能进复试。南师不给排名，搞得很多分数处于边缘的同学很纠结，所以知道排名还是很有用的。貌似有人说今年学长不干了，这个我就不清楚了，有心的同学自己去贴吧找找看。 群 那么如果真的不能通过学长查了，那就得靠你们自己了。 另外，复试分面试和笔试，具体的复试经验我之前都说过了。

最后的重点来了，语言学方向的同学，不管是外应还是英语语言文学下的语言学，复试的考题和初试不太一样，所以真题是很有价值的。那么真题找谁呢，你懂的。某号，就无散领斯伊斯无就。如果辨别不出来这个号，那我也无能为力了。最后祝大家好运。在美丽的随园校区等大家来。 特别要说的是，复试的压力绝对在初试之上。总共名额9个，推免推了5个，留给我们这些参加考试的就只有4个名额了。而且复试全考专业课，考的不仅细，就题目本身来说，较初试还上升了一个难度，挺有挑战性的。最最关键的，它超钢，会考到其他书里的东西。所以，真题是极其有价值的。当时就是买了去年考上的学姐的复试资料。南师复试还是比较公平的，以实力说话，而且复试也绝不是走过场，你要付出比初试更大的努力。楼主当时准备复试，前后差不多一个月，把戴的书过了3遍，买的资料过了2～3遍，时间紧，任务重，压力大，就这么熬过了3月份，最终结果很欣慰，笔试122。另外，楼主每天会跟读一会儿新概念2，因为面试也是很重要的。 以上内容为仙林南师大考研网整理的英语语言文学考研知识点，如果同学还想获得更多英语语言文学考研资料，可以加入我们的南京师范大学考研复试交流群还可获得超强院校专业信息、每日打卡监督学习、研究生学姐答疑，不定期奖励活动等。

考研英语如何学好

考研英语如何学好 导语：想要学好考研英语并不难，关键是要掌握一些学习技巧，下面是适用于考研英语的学习技巧，欢迎参考！ 阅读 英语考研资料一定要以真题为主！记住了！真题！ 考研英语当中，阅读的分量就不用我多说了吧。考研阅读的文章还是有一定难度的，如果不能真正的读懂这篇文章，那么阅读题目是很难做对的，读懂其中的长难句就显得尤其重要。因此，要通过真题来加强对长难句的理解。 可以按照以下的步骤来进行练习： 1、做完阅读题后，可以先不要急着对答案，把文章中的长难句和一些难以理解的句子试着自己翻译出来。 2、翻译完后看看之前的答案，有没有什么新的理解让你想改答案的。 3、去看看书后面对整篇文章的解析，这是希望大家注重对文章的解析，而不单单是题目的解析，我们先要看看自己对于题目的理解和翻译有没有什么偏差。 4、再次思考自己的答案，并确定自己最终的答案。 5、再对后面的答案，此时应该仔细揣摩自己做错的原因，仔细理解出题人的思路和其对文章的理解方式，找出与自己思路的不同之处，下次做题尽量像他们一样思考。 6、将文章中重要的核心词汇和素材整理出来，记在自己的小本本上。 7、隔天，对照着文章的翻译，试着做汉译英或英译汉的练习。通过这种方法让我们的做题效率最大化，既做了阅读，又练习了翻译，然后还熟悉了真题中可能出现的我们不认识的单词。 7、翻译完后和原文仔细比较，总结一些有用而自己又写不出的地道的表达，进行背诵。 如此这般，一篇阅读文章就算彻底过了一遍。而不论是在英译汉和汉译英的过程中，你所翻译错的`句子都需要时常再次进行翻译，直到完全做对。 此时，可以再次把这篇阅读后的题目做一遍，对于错了2次的题目则需要反复进行理解，反复体会错误的原因。由于这样做一篇阅读是相当费时费力的，所以不要求每一篇文章都这样做，有时候选择英译汉或汉译英一项就行。 作文 对于作文，主要是靠以上方法进行一些积累，同时在复习时，每周写一篇考研作文真题。 写的时候不要太在乎时间，可以参考自己积累的表达素材，写完后反复进行修改，看有没有可以写得更好、更地道的地方，或者想想同样的意思能不能换个表达方式，名词、形容词、动词能不能用地更准确、恰当。在考前再进行几次卡时间的模考。 考研英语作文话题一直就那么几个，平时好好准备考试才能得高分。况且作文几乎可以说说比较拉分的一项了，所以作文更应该早点准备，而不是考前才开始背诵模板。对于模板，也最好根据自己积累的素材自己总结。 新题型 对于新题型，有一种题目是选择合适的句子填入文中，而我们做题的时候会发现好像好几句话都适合某个空，因此可以把可能适合某个空的选项写在旁边，等到把所有题目的备选句子都找到后，再进行排除。 一般情况下，总有1-2个空是很好找出对应的句子的。此时剩余题目备选的句子都不会太多，一般2-3句，然后根据上下文仔细地排除，多数情况下会出现一个句子好像在2个题目中都合适，这时我们就需要先确定其他句子的归属，从而排除这个空的其它备选项，再最后判断这个的句子到底属于哪个空。 如果无法先排除其他的句子，则可以先假设这个句子属于某个空(可能性大的)，在推断

考研英语怎么学习经验谈：如何从零基础到80分

考研英语怎么学习经验谈：如何从零基础到80分 关于这个问题，我看到过很多的回答，其实大家都还蛮好的，我今天只是想补充一下，告诉你在复习的时候怎么合理的利用你的时间。 下面我要开始讲道理了，请你搬个小板凳坐直坐好了听我讲—————————————————————————————————————————————————— （以下的复习规划最适合19届的考研小白了） 一、从你决定考研的现在到明年5月，这是考研复习的第一个阶段。 在这个阶段呢，你最主要任务就是解决单词的问题。词汇量是考研英语的根本。大纲中规定的是5500个单词，但是实实在在考的也就不到2000个单词，所以你在复习单词的时候一定要有一个非常详细的计划，单词复习是一个需要详细制定计划，并且循序渐进的过程。 这一阶段复习规划： ①单词记忆，每天30分钟，目标是大纲单词、常见超纲词、短语和固定搭配背2遍，基本扫清单词的障碍。（可以使用《非常词汇》，在语境中记单词，记得快，也不会忘，而且记住的全是重点单词。） ②考研语法学习，每天30分钟，目标是考研基本语法融会贯通，能灵活运用。这一项的复习可以用专门针对长难句的专项训练书，也可以使用一些讲解比较详细的真题书。 ③阅读理解，每天1个小时（刚开始完成2篇阅读），阅读文章时你要学会把握文章主旨信息和文章的整体框架;认识阅读理解的特点，当然最重要的一点就是，要随时积累文章里面的词汇和句子，这不仅是对基础的积累，也可以作为你写作的素材积累。 二、明年6月至9月底是全面复习的第二阶段。 如果说第一阶段主要是打基础，那么，第二个阶段你就要开始进行全方位准备了。说的简单一点吧，这个时候，你应该开始拿起笔练习写作和翻译，但是你要记住，这个阶段的复习，不只是停留在背单词和读文章这个层面上。因为在前面的阶段里，你已掌握了大量的单词，并进行了高强度的阅读训练，所以这个阶段，应该开始试着用英语表达你的想法，并且检查自己对英语的理解能力。 在这个阶段不但应该解决了所有的基础问题，同时还要有一段时间进行提高，为你下一步的全程模拟做好充分的准备。

2017考研英语阅读精选 为什么数学难学

2017考研英语阅读精选为什么数学难学? 考研英语阅读真题中的文章，多摘自英美主流外刊，有时候你认识所有单词、搞清全部语法还不够，还需要了解英美文化，掌握他们的表达方式，这就是阅读的潜台词。有时候是一些俗语和俚语，有时候是固定搭配，有时候需要借助历史、风俗、文化才能理解某种现象或表达。总之，这些地道的英语文章背后都有潜台词，一般人不容易读出，但往往是理解文章的关键。 Why Is It So Hard to Learn Math? 为什么数学就这么难学? 导读:学语言真的很难。老实讲，它比学数学要复杂得多，也困难得多。不过，几乎所有的小孩子都能够学习并且熟练掌握一门语言。 Language is hard. In fact, it’s infinitely harder and more complicated than math. And yet, nearly every small child can learn and master language. 学语言真的很难。老实讲，它比学数学要复杂得多，也困难得多。不过，几乎所有的小孩子都能够学习并且熟练掌握一门语言。 Why is math so overwhelming for so many students? And how high is the price we pay from having so many math-terrified or even

math-illiterate people in our society? Too high, especially as the ability to grasp data and pursue advanced work that involves math is becoming increasingly important for both citizens and job applicants. 那到底为什么数学会成为许多学生难以逾越的鸿沟呢?因为社会上这些“数学恐惧症患者”，甚至是“数学盲”的存在，我们又得付出多大的代价呢?不用说，这代价简直太大了，尤其是在当今社会，获取数据和从事高难度工作越来越成为普通人和求职者的必备能力。 It often starts with the problem of teaching math in the abstract. This misses the remarkable amount of mathematical knowledge that we humans already possess. We know how to solve for unknowns, for example. That’s algebra. We also are able to think in terms of three dimensional spaces—that’s geometry and trigonometry. So this mathematical language is the analytical expression of the way we already think. 问题一开始出在数学的抽象教学上。这就让我们错失大量数学知识，而这些知识是我们本身就具有的。我们知道如何去解决未知的东西，那么这就是代数。我们也知道用三维空间去思考——这就是几何学和三角学。这门数学语言其实就是我们思维方式的解析式。
