2、語試題特點分析全國碩士研究生入學統一考試是為高等學校和科研機構招收碩士研究生而設置的。作為一項 大規模的選拔性考試，考研英語的試題鮮明地體現了自身的特色與宗旨。 一、測試內容的總體特點1. 注重語言意義，而非語言形式 近幾年的考研英語試題都有特定的語境和情景，體現了對語言意義的領悟與判斷。試卷里幾乎沒有死記硬背、單純使用語言形式來選擇選項的試題，而是更注重對考生語言意義理解能力的 考查。2測試的基本點定位在語篇上 近幾年的試卷測重對語篇能力的檢測，對語言知識、語言技能的考核都是通過語境和語篇來完成的。尤其是在完形填空和閱讀理解兩個題型，題材廣泛而新穎，涉及人文、社會、科普、經 濟、文化教育和生

3、物自然等方面，深層次理解題的比例在逐年加大。這些題的答案，考生若不經 過上下文的邏輯推理、揣測作者的意圖、挖掘深層含義，是完成不好的。另外，考題中語篇加長， 對學生的閱讀速度也提出更高的要求，需要猜測的詞語約占語篇數的 3，若考生的知識面狹窄， 理解的難度就會更大。3注重基礎知識的測試，加強了對學生語言運用能力的考核 在近幾年的考研英語試題中不在設置單純考查詞匯、語法的項目，這是否意味著考研試題忽略了對基礎知識的測試？在 2002 年至 2009 年的考研大綱中，都明確要求考生具備“在交際中更 準確、自如地運用語法知識”這一語言能力。由此可見，考研英語絕不是不注重基礎知識的測試， 而是考核形式

4、改變了，考查要求更高了。考研英語對基礎知識的測試貫穿在整個英語考卷中。完 型填空題會直接考查語法知識；閱讀理解題和英譯漢中有大量的長難句，這些句子只有具備一定 的語法知識才能正確分析；作文中要寫出正確無誤的句子，也需要語法知識做積淀。因此，考研 英語是從語篇角度測試考生對英語基礎知識的運用能力。4. 注重選材的時代性和實用性 考研試題的素材均選自英文原版書籍、英文主流媒體和英語國家經常閱讀的書刊。試卷中的文章均是原汁原味的真實語料，體現了語言的真實性和實用性。而且所選文章多來自最新的英文 資料，更好的反映了當代英語語言的時代特點。同時從歷年命制的試題看，被選取的文章的體裁 絕大多數為議論性的、

5、評論性的和報道性的；多為分析論證的文章，很少有純粹的文學文章。這 同攻讀碩士學位研究生期間將面對大量的概括性強、抽象思維為主的材料有關。二、試題的個性化特點目前面向大學生及社會人員的大規模英語考試共有 8 種左右，但考研英語作為一種選拔性的 考試在考查內容、考查角度以及測試目標上和其他考試都有著本質區別，保持了自身獨特的特點。 由于大英四、六級是考生普遍參加的一項考試，現僅對比分析考研英語與大英四六級。考研英語與大英四、六級英語有如下具體的區別： 第一，詞匯?？佳杏⒄Z在詞匯上主要考察熟詞新義，有些中學詞匯的新用法都能考的一塌糊涂；四、六級英語主要考察生詞的第一意義或常用意義，只要你背了大綱的詞

6、匯表，基本就沒問 題；第二，語言材料?？佳杏⒄Z的語言材料多長難句；四、六級英語幾乎沒有長難句，都是很簡 單的句子，意思幾乎一看就明白，不用仔細琢磨其意義；第三，試題選項。完型和閱讀理解是考研和四六級都要考到的題型，但考研英語試題選項多 陷阱，考生要有很強的分析能力和抗干擾的能力；四、六級英語試題選項的迷惑性不是很強，一 眼就能看出哪個是正確答案，哪個是干擾項。第四，大英四六級中也涉及翻譯、寫作題型，但考研英語對翻譯、寫作能力的考查在難度及 復雜性上遠遠大于大英四六級的要求；第五，考研閱讀理解 B 部分即閱讀理解新題型是考研獨有的題型，該題型主要考查考生對連 貫性、一致性、邏輯性等語篇、語段整體

7、性特征及文章結構的理解，這對考生的綜合閱讀能力提 出了更高的要求；第六，測試目的?？佳杏⒄Z體現的是難度，四、六級英語體現的是速度。比如一個閱讀片段， 考研英語一般要花 15 分鐘去推敲琢磨，而六級英語必須在 8-9 分鐘作完；第七、大英四六級嚴格規定對試題的作答順序而考研英語只需在三小時完成試題就可，至于 答題的順序可根據個人喜好自主進行。綜上所述，大學英語四、六級是針對大部分大學生的一種測試，主要在于考查大學生在大學 期間的英語學習成果，其宗旨是希望大多數學生都能夠在正規英語課堂訓練之后通過這些測試， 因此四、六級考的主要是水平和速度。而考研閱讀考的則是更高層次的英語能力，因為研究生入 學考

8、試是一種選拔性測試，意在通過考試選出優秀的學生進行深造，因而對考生各方面的素質和 能力、包括英語閱讀能力提出了更高的要求。因此，想比四、六級考試的閱讀文章和閱讀題，考研閱讀文章選材更加廣泛，文章不論從長 度、詞匯、句子、還是邏輯等各個角度來說難度都遠遠大于四、六級，同時命題也更加具有多變 性和迷惑性。這些都對考生的實戰能力提出了更高的要求，特別要對閱讀理解題目的考點和命題 原則知根知底。一般來說，四、六級閱讀每篇花大約 8-10 分鐘就能夠完成，而考研閱讀每篇則 需要 10-20 分鐘。三、試題的唯一性考研英語試題的命制是一門科學，也是一項系統工程。需經過前期命題理論的研究，試題的 研發，題庫

9、的規劃與建設，以及試題命制過程中的人力、財力與物力等的強有力的保障，才能達 到考研試題的科學性、合理性、均衡性和前瞻性諸要求并能有效發揮考研試題的功能。而且試題 在命制時要恪守七項標準：1試題應該符合該學科的學理邏輯；2試題應該符合語言發展的邏輯；3試題應該符合文化的發展規律；4試題應該符合測試學的一般規律；5試題應該符合試題命制的一般規律；6試題應該符合試題自身的功能目的；7試題應該符合統計學意義上的考點變化規律。 因此，經過這樣一個周密而浩大的流程命制出的試題，試題所體現出的信度、效度、區分度是任何模擬試題都難以披靡的。當然，考研試題除了在測試內容上具有唯一性外，還值得一提的是，既然考研的

10、全稱是全國 碩士研究生入學統一考試，那自然是試卷由教育部考試中心統一命制，全國報考不同院校的考生 大家共同作答唯一的一份試卷，雖然有些高校可以自主劃定初始錄取分數線，但他們也不具有單 獨、自主命制試題的資格。第二部分20072009 考研英語真題及解析2007 年全國碩士研究生入學考試英語試題Section I Use of EnglishDirections:Read the following text.

19、 following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C, or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006s World Cup tournament, you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer

20、 players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than in the late months. If you then examined the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup and professional ranks, you would find this strange phenomenon to be ever more pronounced.What might account for this s

21、trange phenomenon? Here are a few guesses: a) certain astrological signs confer superior soccer skills; b) winter born babies tend to have higher oxygen capacity, which increases soccer stamina; c) soccer-mad parents are more likely to conceive children in springtime, atthe annual peak of soccer man

22、ia; d) none of the above.Anders Ericsson, a 58-year-old psychology professor at Florida State University, says he believes strongly in “none of the above.” Ericsson grew up in Sweden, and studied nuclear engineering until he realized he would have more opportunity to conduct his own research if he s

23、witched to psychology. His first experiment, nearly 30 years ago, involved memory: training a person to hear and then repeat a random series of numbers. “With the first subject, after about 20 hours of training, his digit span had risen from 7 to 20,” Ericsson recalls. “He kept improving, and after

24、about 200 hours of training he had risen to over 80 numbers.”This success, coupled with later research showing that memory itself is not genetically determined, led Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one. In other words, whatever inborn

25、differences two people may exhibit in their abilities to memorize, those differences are swamped by how well each person “encodes” the information. And the best way to learn how to encode information meaningfully, Ericsson determined, was a process known as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice e

26、ntails more than simply repeating a task. Rather, it involves setting specific goals, obtaining immediate feedback and concentrating as much on technique as on outcome.Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying expert performers in a wide range of pursuits, including soccer. They gather

27、 all the data they can, not just performance statistics and biographical details but also the results of their own laboratory experiments with high achievers. Their work makes a rather startling assertion: the trait we commonly call talent is highly overrated. Or, put another way, expert performers

28、whether in memory or surgery, ballet or computer programming are nearly always made, not born.21. The birthday phenomenon found among soccer players is mentioned toA stress the importance of professional training. B spotlight the soccer superstars at the World Cup.C introduce the topic of what makes

29、 expert performance. D explain why some soccer teams play better than others.22. The word “mania” (Line 4, Paragraph 2) most probably meansA fun. B craze. C hysteria.D excitement.23. According to Ericsson, good memoryA depends on meaningful processing of information. B results from intuitive rather

30、than cognitive exercises.C is determined by genetic rather than psychological factors.D requires immediate feedback and a high degree of concentration.24. Ericsson and his colleagues believe thatA talent is a dominating factor for professional success.B biographical data provide the key to excellent

31、 performance. C the role of talent tends to be overlooked.D high achievers owe their success mostly to nurture.25. Which of the following proverbs is closest to the message the text tries to convey? A “Faith will move mountains.”B “One reaps what one sows.” C “Practice makes perfect.” D “Like father

32、, like son.”Text 2For the past several years, the Sunday newspaper supplement Parade has featured a column called “Ask Marilyn.” People are invited to query Marilyn vos Savant, who at age 10 had tested at a mental level of someone about 23 years old; that gave her an IQ of 228 the highest score ever

33、 recorded. IQ tests ask you to complete verbal and visual analogies, to envision paper after it has been folded and cut, and to deduce numerical sequences, among other similar tasks. So it is a bit confusing when vos Savant fields such queries from the average Joe (whose IQ is 100) as, Whats the dif

34、ference between love and fondness? Or what is the nature of luck and coincidence? Its not obvious how the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers.Clearly, intelligence encompasses more t

35、han a score on a test. Just what does it mean to be smart? How much of intelligence can be specified, and how much can we learn about it from neurology, genetics, computer science and other fields?The defining term of intelligence in humans still seems to be the IQ score, even though IQ tests are no

36、t given as often as they used to be. The test comes primarily in two forms: the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales (both come in adult and childrens version).Generally costing several hundred dollars, they are usually given only by psychologists, although variatio

37、ns of them populate bookstores and the World Wide Web. Superhigh scores like vos Savants are no longer possible, because scoring is now based on a statistical population distribution among age peers, rather than simply dividing the mental age by the chronological age and multiplying by 100. Other st

38、andardized tests, such as the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), capture the main aspects of IQ tests.Such standardized tests may not assess all the important elements necessary to succeed in school and in life, argues Robert J. Sternberg. In his article “How Intell

39、igent Is Intelligence Testing?”, Sternberg notes that traditional test best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and life success. Moreover, IQ test do not necessarily predict so well once populations

40、or situations change. Research has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated with leadership that is, it predicted the opposite. Anyone who has toiled through SAT will testify that t

41、est-taking skill also matters, whether its knowing when to guess or what questions to skip.26. Which of the following may be required in an intelligent test? A Answering philosophical questions.B Folding or cutting paper into different shapes. C Telling the difference between certain concepts.D Choo

42、sing words or graphs similar to the given ones.27. What can be inferred about intelligence testing from Paragraph 3? A People no longer use IQ scores as an indicator of intelligence. B More versions of IQ tests are now available on the Internet.C The test contents and formats for adults and children

43、 may be different. D Scientists have defined the important elements of human intelligence.28. People nowadays can no longer achieve IQ scores as high as vos Savants becauseA the scores are obtained through different computational procedures. B creativity rather than analytical skills is emphasized n

44、ow.C vos Savants case is an extreme one that will not repeat. D the defining characteristic of IQ tests has changed.29. We can conclude from the last paragraph thatA test scores may not be reliable indicators of ones ability. B IQ scores and SAT results are highly correlated.C testing involves a lot

45、 of guesswork. D traditional test are out of date.30. What is the authors attitude towards IQ test? A Supportive.B Skeptical. C Impartial. D Biased.Text 3During the past generation, the American middle-class family that once could count on hard work and fair play to keep itself financially secure ha

46、d been transformed by economic risk and new realties. Now a pink slip, a bad diagnosis, or a disappearing spouse can reduce a family from solidly middle class to newly poor in a few months.In just one generation, millions of mothers have gone to work, transforming basic family economics. Scholars, p

47、olicymakers, and critics of all stripes have debated the social implications of these changes, but few have looked at the side effect: family risk has risen as well. Todays families have budgeted to the limits of theirs new two-paycheck status. As a result, they have lost the parachuted they once ha

48、d in times of financial setback a back-up earner (usually Mom) who could go into the workforce if the primary earner got laid off or fell sick. This “added-worker effect” could support the safety net offered by unemployment insurance or disability insurance to help families weather bad times. But to

49、day, a disruption to family fortunes can no longer be made up with extra income from an otherwise-stay-at-home partner.During the same period, families have been asked to absorb much more risk in their retirement income. Steelworkers, airline employees, and now those in the auto industry are joining

50、 millions of families who must worry about interest rates, stock market fluctuation, and the harsh reality that they may outlive their retirement money. For much of the past year, President Bush campaigned to move Social Security to a saving-account model, with retirees trading much or all of their

51、guaranteed payments for payments depending on investment returns. For younger families the picture is not any better. Both the absolute cost of healthcare and the share of it borne by families have risen and newly fashionable health-saving plans are spreading from legislative halls to Wal-Mart worke

52、rs, with much higher deductibles and a large new dose of investment risk for families future healthcare. Evendemographics are working against the middle class family, as the odds of having a weak elderly parent and all the attendant need for physical and financial assistance have jumped eightfold in

53、 just one generation.From the middle-class family perspective, much of this, understandably, looks far less like an opportunity to exercise more financial responsibility, and a good deal more like a frightening acceleration of the wholesale shift of financial risk onto their already overburdened sho

54、ulders. The financial fallout has begun, and the political fallout may not be far behind.31. Todays double-income families are at greater financial risk in thatA the safety net they used to enjoy has disappeared.B their chances of being laid off have greatly increased.C they are more vulnerable to changes in family economics. D they are deprived of unemployment or disability insurance.32. As a result of President Bushs reform, retired people m
