南大杨金才教授的《文学导论》慎小嶷的雅思写作《文学术语汇编》,英文版的,复习初期,有空可以多看看指定教材中的原著,读中文的也好阅读量是非常重要的要把指定参考书读熟,再背背文学史,还可以去中国知网上下一些相关的论文看看。
在读文学史的过程中,可以了解作家生平及写作风格,作品特点,以更好的理解选读中的文章。
文学史在我个人看来,是一定要背的,不然无法对各时期作家形成一个总体的认识。
挑重点背就好。
复习过程中,可以看些中文的文学史教材,集思广益,扩宽自己的思路。
看选读,第一遍可以看得慢一些,跟做课后题。
我是将课后题写在一个本子上,每轮复习都修改答案,直至有自己的观点。
这个答案,则要靠自己通过各种渠道搜集资料,整理形成。
再者,文学论述多是自圆其说,言之成理,很难说什么是标准答案。
这个复习进度自己掌握,我是复习了三四遍的样子,但考的选段识别题还是错了不少。
有人说,选读中,重点篇章,比如 The Great Gastby ,要读五遍以上。
文学的学习,工作量是要大一些,但只要我们对它怀着一颗热忱的心,就不会畏惧困难。
就好像乔布斯,即使被自己组建的公司炒掉后,也发现自己还是热爱着电脑事业的。
我们也是怀着对文学的热爱,才去接触它,学习它,渴望了解它,这途中,无论遇到多少艰难,也是值得的。
我也来发个2013英美文学回忆版,很详细的哦一、基础英语今年的基英整体不难,但是题型调整的多样化,做下来感觉时间好紧首先是一篇四五段的短文,讲一种建筑流派的衰败,设有七个客观题,都是五个选项。
因为刚开始写没进状态,文章没看太懂,自己选的答案都是模棱两可,怕后面的题写不完,不敢浪费太长时间,就没仔细检查。
然后是长文章,是Viginia Woolf讲读书的一篇文章,翻译108篇里选过几段。
这个一定要先看题,客观题就一个,问文章的主旨。
然后8个词汇与往年相反,让你给出这个词的解释或同义语。
再是两个paraphrase,最后还有一个主观题,需要从文章中找出论点。
好多样化的说。
刚开始浏览题都没看见这个主观题。
还有无选项填空,讲人的一生总会受很多人影响,不算难,但有好几空拿不准,时间紧也没仔细想再是翻译(50分),汉译英讲家庭教育和一个歌颂小草力量的,总共五个句子。
英译汉江南style的流行,真前卫。
还有把人生比作旋律的几句话,也是五句。
最后的作文(45分)给出一句话:the possession of the greatest riches does not resolute the agitation of soul or give birth to remarkable joy.(我竟然记下了)然后问你是否赞同。
也不难写,但是楼主很悲催的忘了写作文题目了。
二、英美文学第一题文学史填空,10分,有考到problem play,heroic couplet,ezra pound,超验主义等,最后一个空看另一个帖子应是gothic novel,楼主很悲催的知道是啥,但一时没想起来名字,写成supernatural fiction了第二题十五个选段,悲催!大眼看去一个不会,本来以为这个最简单的,结果辨识度很低,还好仔细辨识后都写出来了,但是另一个帖子也提到,有几个超纲了!根据其他研友的回复,有李尔王,还有george eliot的一个小说,还有嘉莉妹妹,除了嘉莉妹妹那两个当然都写错了。
第三题,三道跟篇章有关的问答题。
1,欲望街车里的布兰奇对你来说是纯真无邪的南方美人还是堕落的荡妇,结合文本细节分析。
2,阿拉比里男孩最后的顿悟,结合文本细节分析。
3,给了几部小说,达罗卫夫人,红字,法国中尉的女人,隐形人等,挑一部分析point of view的作用。
第四题诗歌,这个比往年简单,原本很担心诗歌都看不懂,这次出的约翰。
邓恩的每个人都是一座孤岛,也不长,很早就见过。
1,给出作者名。
2,诗人的论点是什么。
3.是人用的修辞手法。
4,哪部小说名字取自于这首诗,很显然是丧钟为谁而鸣。
5,在主题上这首诗和这部小说多大程度上遥相呼应,话说我没看过这部小说,只有乱写了,,,No Man Is An IslandNo man is an island,Entire of itself.Each is a piece of the continent,A part of the main.If a clod be washed away by the sea,Europe is the less.As well as if a promontory were.As well as if a manner of thine ownOr of thine friend's were.Each man's death diminishes me,For I am involved in mankind.Therefore, send not to knowFor whom the bell tolls,It tolls for thee.John Donne没有人是一座孤岛,可以自全。
每个人都是大陆的一片,整体的一部分。
如果海水冲掉一块,欧洲就减小,如同一个海岬失掉一角,如同你的朋友或者你自己的领地失掉一块任何人的死亡都是我的损失,因为我是人类的一员,因此不要问丧钟为谁而鸣,它就为你而鸣。
第五题,(30分)一个评论家的一段评论,主要讲一战前后的expatriate writers是有所不同的,战前作家去欧洲寻找order,但是战后欧洲同样没落,这两个时期的expatriate writers作品主题因此不同。
1,这个转折点是什么,显然是一战,然后自己再分析分析。
2,列举两个时期的作家,问你是否同意这个作者对他们的评论,给出原因。
