短期內(nèi)如何快速通過專八??


由于疫情的原因,今年的專八較往年晚了一個(gè)月
我大概是在三月初開始備考的,備考的時(shí)間大約一個(gè)半月
在備考之前,我翻閱了很多經(jīng)驗(yàn)貼
在我看來,專八是一門應(yīng)試性極強(qiáng)的考試
結(jié)合前人的經(jīng)驗(yàn)以及自己備考過程中所領(lǐng)悟到的方法
接下來,我會(huì)分享一下每個(gè)模塊的解題技巧
專八題型

從分值分布來看,聽力和閱讀的比重較大。一般來說,聽力和閱讀也是短期最好提分,提分最快的兩部分。因此,在備考過程中,要格外重視這兩塊內(nèi)容的練習(xí)。友情提醒:平時(shí)練習(xí)請(qǐng)嚴(yán)格按照專八的考試流程,包括開考和結(jié)束時(shí)間,每個(gè)模塊的用時(shí)等等。

聽力篇
聽力分為Mini-lecture?和Interview/ Conversation。
MINI-LECTURE是由一個(gè)約900個(gè)單詞的講座和一項(xiàng)填空任務(wù)組成。要求考生先邊聽邊做筆記,然后完成填空任務(wù)。共15題。
《英語專業(yè)八級(jí)考試大綱》要求考生能夠聽懂有關(guān)政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)、歷史、文化、教育、語言文學(xué)、科普方面的演講。由于講座一般為獨(dú)白或演講,因而句式具有口語化的特點(diǎn),語速為每分鐘約150個(gè)單詞。
Mini-lecture部分與專四的考法類似,但稍微難了些,具體表現(xiàn)在有些空需要自己概括而不是聽到什么些什么。
講座的文章通常采用“總-分-總”的結(jié)構(gòu),中心突出,層次分明。Mini-lecture考驗(yàn)最多的就是捕捉信息的能力,在聽力過程中要留心一些信號(hào)詞。在講座聽力中要注意哪些信號(hào)詞呢,請(qǐng)參考專八聽力|留心這些信號(hào)詞, Mini Lecture對(duì)12個(gè)以上不是夢(mèng)!
除了考驗(yàn)提取信息的能力之外,好考驗(yàn)我們速記的能力。在平時(shí)的練習(xí)中要刻意地用一些符號(hào)來代替英文,或者記下單詞的幾個(gè)輔音縮寫。如:
<——less than
>——more than
=——be equal to
max——maximum
intro——introduction
prob——problem
值得注意的是考試不必按照常見的速記方法,而是采用適合自己速記法。一般每個(gè)人的速記筆記只有他自己看得懂,因此,只要運(yùn)用自己看得懂的符號(hào)都是可以的。
Mini-lecture的評(píng)分相對(duì)來說比較仁慈,少些,單復(fù)數(shù),時(shí)態(tài)不一致可能會(huì)得半分,所以在考場(chǎng)上,勇敢寫下去就對(duì)了,不要懷疑自己,更不要放棄。
INTERVIEW/CONVERSATION是由一個(gè)約1000詞的訪談/對(duì)話組成,共10道選擇題,分兩部分完成。每道題目后有10秒鐘的答題時(shí)間。
《英語專業(yè)八級(jí)考試大綱》要求考生能聽懂真實(shí)交際場(chǎng)合中的各種英語會(huì)話和講話。語速為每分鐘約150個(gè)單詞。
訪談或者對(duì)話部分內(nèi)容連貫,選項(xiàng)通常會(huì)遵循原文的順序出題。因此,在完成Mini-lecture之后應(yīng)該迅速預(yù)讀INTERVIEW/CONVERSATION的考題。通過瀏覽選項(xiàng),考生基本可以了解對(duì)話的主題,并猜測(cè)問題。在每個(gè)選項(xiàng)中劃出關(guān)鍵詞(每道題的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)大多結(jié)構(gòu)類似,劃出不同之處)這樣,聽錄音的時(shí)候,會(huì)有側(cè)重點(diǎn)。由于錄音只播放一次,僅憑腦力是無法全部記住內(nèi)容。在聽錄音的過程中,應(yīng)適當(dāng)?shù)刈鲆恍┕P記,比如時(shí)間,地點(diǎn),價(jià)格等。在記錄時(shí)要善于運(yùn)用一些簡(jiǎn)單地字符或者自己熟悉速記方式。

閱讀篇
測(cè)試要求:
(a)能讀懂一般英美報(bào)刊雜志上的社論和書評(píng)。
(b)能讀懂有一定難度的歷史傳記和文學(xué)作品。
(c)能理解所讀材料的主旨大意,分辨出其中的事實(shí)和細(xì)節(jié);能理解字面意義和隱含意義;能根據(jù)所讀材料進(jìn)行判斷和推理;能分析所讀材料的思想觀點(diǎn)、語篇結(jié)構(gòu)、語言特點(diǎn)和修辭手法。
(d)能在閱讀中根據(jù)需要自覺調(diào)整閱讀速度和閱讀技巧。(e)考試時(shí)間45分鐘。
從上圖的專八題型分值分布可知,專八閱讀的比重是最大的,可以這么說“得閱讀者 得專八”。專八閱讀分為A部分選擇題和B部分簡(jiǎn)答題。試卷上呈現(xiàn)的是先A部分:幾篇文章,每篇文章后有幾道選擇題,然后再B部分:每篇文章都有1-3道簡(jiǎn)答題。如果按順序答題,先做完選擇,再做簡(jiǎn)答題。就需要花費(fèi)很多時(shí)間。因?yàn)閷0碎喿x的篇幅較長(zhǎng),內(nèi)容較復(fù)雜。每篇文章跳讀較大,因此容易出現(xiàn)做了后面的,忘了前面的情況。因此我建議同一篇文章AB兩部分一起做。同一篇文章的選擇題和簡(jiǎn)答題昨晚之后再開始閱讀下一篇閱讀的文章。
由于文章的篇幅較長(zhǎng),而且與平常我們所看的文章不同,沒有邏輯可言,尤其是文學(xué)類的文章。我推薦的方法是先讀題再看文章,帶著問題讀文章。通常來說閱讀題的順序和段落是一致的,即第一道閱讀題定位在文章的一、二段,那么第二道閱讀題就可能在三、四段(第二段以后)。由于專八文章不需要每篇文章都讀懂讀透,更不需要你去賞析。沒時(shí)間,沒時(shí)間,沒時(shí)間!都2021年了,重要的事情仍需要說三遍。通常來說,文章的首尾段必讀,然后中間段粗讀,便可掌握文章的大意。之所以要特別注意文章的開頭和結(jié)尾段落是因?yàn)橹黝}句往往出現(xiàn)在這兩處地方。抓住了文章的主題句,便可以掌握文章的中心思想和感情色彩。
做專八閱讀題,專八詞匯必須背起來。之前我有推薦過《如魚得水記單詞》和墨墨背單詞,這里我就不多贅述了,詳細(xì)請(qǐng)看專八閱讀太難了,搞明白這些,一定提分!專八閱讀中??荚~意替換或者解釋這個(gè)單詞的意思,而這里考到的詞匯往往就是專八的詞匯,如果你剛好知道,那么題很快就可以解出來。如果你不清楚,那就只能結(jié)合語境,聯(lián)系上下文。
解答細(xì)節(jié)題的關(guān)鍵在于準(zhǔn)確定位。與聽力類似,閱讀中也有信號(hào)詞和定位的技巧。具體有:出題的順序,邏輯信號(hào)詞(因果,轉(zhuǎn)折等等),題干中的實(shí)詞,長(zhǎng)詞,難詞,縮寫以及特殊符號(hào)等等。高頻考點(diǎn)往往出現(xiàn)在段首,段尾,引語,因此瀏覽文章的時(shí)候,以上幾處應(yīng)該多加關(guān)注。
牢牢抓住文章的中心。也就是所謂的大方向,這樣你就不會(huì)被一些帶有誘惑性的選項(xiàng)給帶跑了。再做一些圍繞主題的問題時(shí),對(duì)于一些模棱兩可的選項(xiàng)時(shí),可以考慮是否與主題相關(guān)。與主題相關(guān)的是正確選項(xiàng),反之就是干擾項(xiàng)。同時(shí)要關(guān)注選項(xiàng)之間的聯(lián)系,主旨類題目常常會(huì)碰到C選項(xiàng)對(duì),D選項(xiàng)也對(duì)的情況。然而仔細(xì)一比較分析會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)C是被包括在D中的,D選項(xiàng)更為全面。
閱讀簡(jiǎn)答題與選擇題的作答方式不同,但是考點(diǎn)類似,有細(xì)節(jié)題,翻譯題,歸納題等等。特別值得注意的是簡(jiǎn)答題的字?jǐn)?shù)不能超過10個(gè)單詞。簡(jiǎn)答題的答案盡量用文章中出現(xiàn)的關(guān)鍵詞進(jìn)行作答,避免拼錯(cuò),答案也更加直觀。但是由于字?jǐn)?shù)的限制,不能完完全全用原文作答,因此需要對(duì)原文的有關(guān)內(nèi)容進(jìn)行概括歸納或者轉(zhuǎn)換。再明確要作答的內(nèi)容之后,還要盡力避免常見的語法錯(cuò)誤,如主謂不致,時(shí)態(tài),單復(fù)數(shù)等等。

改錯(cuò)篇
測(cè)試要求:
能運(yùn)用語法、詞匯、修辭等語言知識(shí)識(shí)別所給短文內(nèi)的語病并提出改正方法。
改錯(cuò)真的是一門玄學(xué),我對(duì)了這次的答案發(fā)現(xiàn)自己只對(duì)了兩個(gè)

。命題老師:只要我覺得,不要你覺得。因此,我也沒有可以參考的經(jīng)驗(yàn)分享給你們。個(gè)人認(rèn)為改錯(cuò)是回報(bào)比最低的板塊(投入多,得到少),在備考過程中不必花費(fèi)過多的時(shí)間。以下是我改錯(cuò)考點(diǎn)的備考資料(僅供參考)

翻譯篇
測(cè)試要求:
1.能運(yùn)用漢譯英的理論和技巧,翻譯我國(guó)報(bào)刊雜志上的論述文和國(guó)情介紹,以及一般文學(xué)作品的節(jié)錄
2.翻譯速度為每小時(shí)250~300字
玄奘曾提出的翻譯標(biāo)準(zhǔn)“既須求真,又須喻俗”,意即“忠實(shí)”、“通順”,直到今天仍然具有指導(dǎo)意義。針對(duì)專八翻譯考試,需要做到:忠實(shí)原文,譯文通順。不求翻譯優(yōu)美,只求翻譯準(zhǔn)確。從翻譯的題材上來看,漢譯英的選材大多為文學(xué)選段,如《梁山伯與祝英臺(tái)》,老舍的《我的母親》等等。涉及的范圍較廣,因此翻譯是很難短時(shí)間內(nèi)提上去,平時(shí)外文閱讀的很重要?;蛘呖匆恍┓g家的譯文。這里推薦許淵沖《唐詩與唐畫》有時(shí)間可以看一看,翻譯得太精彩了??!許老yyds?。 扒蓩D難為無米之炊”詞匯量的多少在很大得程度上決定著翻譯的成敗。上一篇推文我已經(jīng)提到過要背單詞?。〔还馐且浪囊馑歼@么簡(jiǎn)單,還有用法,變型,同義詞等等。
雖說翻譯水平很難一下子提上去,但還是有一些應(yīng)試的策略幫你多得分。
1. 迅速瀏覽篇章,掌握整體意思;確定基本時(shí)態(tài),主語,句型,定語,狀語,補(bǔ)語的位置。
2. 逐句翻譯,確定長(zhǎng)句的主干——太短的句子考慮合并,太長(zhǎng)無法駕馭, 考慮拆分。
3. 遣詞造句——詞句無亮點(diǎn)時(shí)候,考慮近義詞的轉(zhuǎn)化。
4. 重讀句子,檢查譯文是否正確地轉(zhuǎn)述了原文的內(nèi)容,是否有錯(cuò)譯和漏譯。(之前做練習(xí)的時(shí)候曾發(fā)現(xiàn)自己漏譯了一陣句)其次,檢查語言是否通順,確保語法正確性。
最后,推薦大家讀一讀張培基的《英漢翻譯教程》。

寫作篇
測(cè)試要求:
能根據(jù)所給閱讀材料和要求撰寫各類體裁的文章,文章長(zhǎng)度不少于300個(gè)單詞;能做到內(nèi)容切題、充實(shí),條理清楚,結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn),語法正確,語言通順,表達(dá)得體??荚嚂r(shí)間45分鐘。
作文部分,我采用的是平日常練習(xí)的三段式定結(jié)構(gòu),具體如下:
第一部分為“引言+總結(jié)”段,其作用包括引入話題、總結(jié)材料和提出觀點(diǎn)。該部分約占全文1/3,即約100詞。在總結(jié)材料的時(shí)候,不要照搬原文,可以對(duì)原文句型進(jìn)行paraphrase,保留主要觀點(diǎn)。(綜英里學(xué)的paraphrase終于派上用場(chǎng)了)文章中的第一人稱,在總結(jié)時(shí)通常要轉(zhuǎn)換成第三人稱。
第二部分為正文段,是主體部分,主要是論證自己的觀點(diǎn),(Topic sentence+supporting sentences/evidences/details+conclusion這部分在約占到150~180詞。這部分可按論點(diǎn)的數(shù)量細(xì)分為兩段或三段,若各論點(diǎn)關(guān)系緊密,也可合為一段。善于使用連接詞,例如Besides,In addition,What's more.使得文章看起來?xiàng)l例通順,結(jié)構(gòu)清晰。
第三部分為結(jié)論段,對(duì)全文作總結(jié)和概況,重申觀點(diǎn),呼應(yīng)首段。一般為50詞左右。這部分雖然很短,但作用不可忽視,如果寫不好,會(huì)給閱讀卷老師虎頭蛇尾的感覺。
最后的最后要關(guān)注自己的卷面。字跡端正,卷面整潔,會(huì)給閱卷老師留下好印象,增加一點(diǎn)情感分。
預(yù)??吹竭@里你,都能得到你想要的這兩個(gè)小本本~
