2014年广东外语外贸大学英语考研初试经验
这次能考上广外，是运气+努力+他人的鼓励和帮助，论坛的帖子给了我很大的动力，刚开始准备的时候就想着如果考上了，要回来写经验帖，回馈论坛，感谢曾经鼓励过我的人。想考研的童鞋们勤勉点，多看帖子多下载，不要说论坛没什么经验没什么资料，认真看，够用的了。
我准备考广外是9月16号招生简章出来之后，原来想报的学校取消了我想报的专业，考虑了2天就决定考广外。在没准备考广外的期间，7月20号——9月16号我背了一本新东方的GRE词汇，做了些GRE的阅读题，看了《大学德语》修订版的第一本第一遍，看了胡壮麟的语言学两遍（费时费力，脑细胞不知道死了多少，感谢广外初试复试都不考这本书）。除去回家10天和看语言学书的20天，我可以说是8月20号开始备考，1月4-5号考试。
初试总分是371(嘻嘻，真是不高），大四下学期的课基本没去上，只有做presentation的时候会去，9月16号到1月3号的复习如下：整体复习经验：
（1）我基本是8点醒，8点半到图书馆看书。9点到10
点昏昏欲睡，10点后开始精神百倍，学到中午1点，午餐就吃面包了。午睡完下午大概是2点半开始学习，除去晚饭的一个小时至两个小时（会看视频），学习到10点。到后期11点到12点也会学习。状态好时学习是10-11个钟，状态还好时或者有事会学习得更少8-10个钟吧。有时候发癫不想学时，可能就半天不学。我不赞同有人说考研一定要早起，要每天学习12-13个钟，要熬夜。当然是适合自己就好，我有自己的节奏，你也一样。只有你自己才知道有没有努力，有没有学进去。
（2）有一起复习的同学或者研友是很好的，学不下了可以一起吐苦水，不考研的人是没办法理解考研人的烦恼的。当然朋友和亲人的鼓励还是很有用的，不能一起吐苦水，但是Ta们的鼓励是精神食粮。
（3）论坛要逛，但是也别逛一下午，逛多了，东西下载多了，不借鉴不利用是不会长进的。一、水平测试（103分）
呵呵，真是不高，虽说比晚年难，还是有大神考130多分的。
参考书目：
《星火英语·英语专业考研名校全真试卷:基础英语》；
《GRE阅读全攻略同步练习》，魏宇燕编（小小的一本，图书馆借），不一定买的到，我看卓越上有《GRE阅读39+3全攻略》，也是魏宇燕编；
星火改错
新东方gre词汇和新东方专八词汇
1.Cloze:这个很容易，多做点类似的题，就基本是送分题了。给出一些词，填入文中空格，不需要自己变形。下载到真题的童鞋好好用真题练习，《星火英语·英语专业考研名校全真试卷:基础英语》里面也有类似的题目。有的完型是出四个词选择的，我会把所有的答案都抄出来，打乱前后顺序，跟广外的cloze就相似了。没必要每天一练。一周两个都可以了。
2.阅读：（1）我花了半个月背新东方的gre单词，用“杨鹏17天背gre单词方法”（百度即可），过程枯燥至极。我背
gre单词那时候想考的不是广外，个人觉得今年广外阅读虽然难，主要在问题又长又tricky，单词并不难，不用背gre
单词。用《如鱼得水记背专八单词》之类的专八单词书就可以。
(2)《GRE阅读全攻略同步练习》，这书不错，讲阅读方法，如何抓住全文主线之类的。《星火英语·英语专业考研名校全真试卷:基础英语》的阅读我是挑着做的，我会把跟广外类似的题型挑出来，凑成一张卷子，常常早上就做一张。个人觉得星火的专八阅读跟广外今年阅读类型不符合，星火问的问题太过简单。
(3)这里推荐一个网站：FTchinese，非常好的网站，里面有个英语速读栏目，个人觉得有点类似广外题型.
(4)另外，阅读中不懂的单词，可以画个小圆圈标注出来，过后查词义，这些单词才是我记得最牢也觉得最有用的。背了的单词反而很快忘记。
3.词汇辨析：我没有发言权，这道题我没怎么管，只求吃老本拿一半分。大家看其他帖子吧。
4.改错：星火改错即可。广外的改错没有冲击波改错的难度。练完星火可以用华研外语改错，我看过同学用的，难度同星火一般。不练不行，一天一个吧，一开始我错一半或以上是常有的事。后来可以练到错一二个。
5.就像上面第二点讲到的，我喜欢从《星火英语·英语专业考研名校全真试卷:基础英语》挑题，凑成一张水平测试试卷，然后给2个钟自己做。有时候做不完。不是每天都做，很多时候还要看二外和政治，所以，大家看情况安排时间。
二、翻译与写作（116分）
参考书目：
英汉互译实践与技巧，许建平编著
星火英语·英语专业考研名校全真试题精解（英汉互译）
张培基《英译中国现代散文选》1
华研外语:淘金英语专业8级写作范文背诵100篇
新概念英语4
这科我考的很一般，因为这科非常简单。听说广外的规律就是如果水平测试难，翻译写作就会容易，反之亦然。按今年我的体会，确实这样。
1.翻译：
（1）《英汉互译实践与技巧》这书不错，技巧齐全。最多10个半天可以看完。我喜欢一上午看一科，下午+晚上看另一科，觉得有连贯性而且不会太烦。里面的练习选着做就好，毕竟和广外题型不是很像。
（2）张培基《英译中国现代散文选》1我练过几篇，觉得很不错，而且目测贴近广外今年中翻英的题材，这里推荐一个帖子“如何利用张培基《英译中国现代散文选》快速提高翻译水平”，方法不错，我有借鉴，这帖子的楼主留了QQ，可以不用去加，我加了后发现其实没有其他的笔记了，楼主好像也在卖考研资料的。《散文108篇》不在我的练习书之列，其实我也练过两篇，后来果断放弃，太难了，而且翻译的虽然很好，还是感觉意译太多，方法并不太适合我们考试用。
（3）《星火英语·英语专业考研名校全真试题精解（英汉互译）》我练的比较多，也是按照练张培基散文的方法，受益良多。坚持每天练中-英一篇，不用多字，350-450即可，张的散文也一样，每天节选翻译。英-中可以隔天练习。
2.Summary:《GRE阅读全攻略同步练习》在我练习summary上有帮助，因为它教我怎么抓文章主线，这恰好也是summary需要的。真题上的summary没有答案，但也可以好好研究，平时练练。《新概念英语4》虽然也有summary，但是相应的教师用书题提供了很水的答案，也不是很符合广外题型，大家看看即可，自己决定用不用。我练了一篇，就再没看过《新概念英语4》了。个人觉得每天做阅读后，可以挑一篇做口头summary，划出文章主线和每段topicsentence，不会的表达当然可以查单词。Summary不用天天做，每周有个2篇口头就不错了。
3.大作文：GRE的优秀作文逻辑严谨，而且语言表达高级，只是啃一本gre的作文书不容易。我自己觉得广外今年的作文是专八水平，看以往的帖子，大多这么认为。所以省时省力就看专八作文吧。我用《华研外语:淘金英语专业8级写作范文背诵100篇》，其他专八作文大概也差不多，有些作文不是很严谨，观点也有些牵强，部分表达有chinglish之
嫌。只是，看别人的千般不好，自己又不一定写的出来。专八作文无非是三段论，大框架都在那儿了，开头+中间两个或三个观点+结尾。
我大概是这么用华研作文的：(1)华研的作文有两三页是教人怎么开头、怎么拓展观点、怎么写结论的，方法就那么几个。要看看。（2）我喜欢看着里面的范文，分析里面用了什么方法，标注出来，觉得容易用的下次也会试着用（比如泛例论证、数据论证）。（3）我还喜欢标注我觉得写的不错的地方，可能是观点好，开头lead-in好或者中间连贯做得好。（4）我有时会修改里面的范文，觉得不合逻辑的观点，我就改掉，自己写一段放进去。（5）还有，我会吸收作文里面的观点和好的例子（有的例子百用）。还会在列出每一篇大纲（主要是观点的大纲），有的观点以后其他作文也可用。（6）这点很重要，看别人的作文前，用脑袋想想这个title，自己会怎么写，用什么观点，可在纸上列大纲。只有当你想不出观点后，你才能看到别人观点的好。
我很少练作文，整个备考动手写整篇作文不过4、5篇，太费时，我又很讨厌写。所以当你不想写的时候，当然要多看，一天一篇也好，两篇也好。我是不背的，会highlight不错的地方，多看，背太费时，太奢侈。做完我上面列的几点，
我都会耗上接近1个半-2个钟，效果最重要。三、政治（79）
很幸运地考了这个分，没有报班。9月14号开始复习。
参考书目：
考试大纲（红宝书）（看了一遍）
肖秀荣命题人1000题（做了一半多）
肖秀荣命题人讲真题（做了一半多，前面的知识点不看，因为觉得不详细不系统）
风中劲草（这个系列有3本，一本是知识点解析，一本是题目，一本是题目答案。我只用知识点解析的那本）
2014考研政治考点狂背，阮晔主编（看熟，这本打算拿来背的，虽然没背下来，但是知识点都看得非常熟。）
肖秀荣最后四套题和任汝芬最后四套题，20天20题（冲刺用）
冲刺阶段网上出的各种冲刺卷，比如“启航最后5套题”“风中劲草最后4套题”之类的，各种试题只做选择题。
（1）红宝书的用法：政治是从9月14号开始复习，红宝书先看了一遍，一开始只看书，非常枯燥，而且稍不留神就不知所云，所以后来我在网上看考研讲解视频，然后在红宝书上做笔记，感觉不错。马哲看张俊芳的，思修看蒋中挺的，毛中特我也看蒋中挺的，不错，不过听过肖秀荣的也很不错。近代史没看。才做题，更有复习巩固的效果。看完一遍红宝书，非常费时。个人觉得红宝书里面马哲部分排的很乱，不如看张俊芳的讲义。
（2）肖1000用法：不建议看完一章就做一章肖1000题，刚看完印象深刻，肯定准确率高。建议看完2-3章才做题，复习巩固的效果更好。建议把答案写在题号左边，方便你做第二遍和第三遍。我会把错题和觉得不错的题用不同记号标注，准备下次做第二遍。肖1000可以撕成两本，题目一本答案一本，容易对照。答案里面你不熟悉的知识点，画出来，尤其是错题涉及的知识点，常看。
(3)风中劲草和考研政治考点狂背：红宝书看了第一遍，
太费事了，实在要死。所以买了风中劲草和考研政治考点狂背。个人觉得，考研政治考点狂背是小小的一本，更适合我，条理清晰，有适当的解析，我是用来看熟，看的非常熟。风中劲草像列了个比较详细的红宝书的大纲，我只是略看了看。两本书都有标注考研重点热点，所以二者选其一，只是选了就要看熟。
而且，后来我觉得，红宝书也可以不看，去网上下载政治视频和对应的讲义看就行了。主要是后期要有个背的或者看的很熟的书，红宝书太大本，看熟得耗多久啊。
(4)肖秀荣最后四套题和任汝芬最后四套题，20天20题：冲刺用，考前一个多星期才来，肖秀荣的大题和20天20题要狂背，肖四选择题也要做，任四只做选择题。肖四大题非常非常非常有用！很多点都抓对了，背熟啊！！背大题我喜欢列点列大纲，只要记得那些点就好了。大题20天20题尽量背。
(5)到了考前10多天左右吧，刚开始做各种模拟卷选择题，呵呵，错一堆。刚开始选择题大多是得个28或者32分吧，拼命做选择题，到考前2、3天可以做到差不多44分。
四、德语（回忆+经验+真题）（73分）
这一科考的最挫，考这几分就不好单独发帖了，二外不是德语的孩纸忽略吧~因为讲德语的帖子很少，这里就提供个前车之鉴。9月16号之前看了大学德语修订版的第一本，10月份开始看大学德语1-3册第三版学生用书+教师用书，卓越上就买得到，早点买，我当时整整8天才送到呢。。不要用修订版代替第三版，修订版偏简单的。
（1）回忆：2014德语考试题型如下：
第一题、选择题，考察词汇或者语法。把课本看熟就可以了。
第二题、完形填空题，有三道，每道五个空。都不难。
第三题、填词。给一篇文章，讲的是现在越来越多的德国青年人越来越倾向和爸妈一起住。每个空都给出了首字母，我感觉比较容易，基本可以看懂。
第四题、阅读，好像是三道吧，不然就是四道。每道五个选择题。第一个说一种可以让爸妈带婴儿去看电影的电影院，我感觉有两个选项都比较难。第二道和第三道都比较容
易。我忘记说的是什么了。
第五题、翻译。比较容易，词汇都简单，题目是“大众媒体”
第六题、作文。就是说有一个德国朋友写信给你，说想到中国旅游，但是还没有做好旅游计划。中国有很多有名的城市，比如说北京、上海、广州、香港，请你给你的德国朋友写一封回信，介绍下几个中国有名的城市。
（2）经验：鉴于我接近10月才开始德语第三版，时间少，73分在我意料之中，本来就想70分足够。考完后我告诉德语老师，考了73分，她一直追问为什么考这么低，还有，这么低怎么还可以考上广外，呵呵。这里附上广外德语考题，是德语老师给的，答案也是德语老师做的，不用上网买什么真题了，德语都没有答案的，其他很多也没答案。网上买的真题不过把论坛的资料都综合起来，没准我这帖子一出，网上卖的广外德语卷也就从我这儿下载真题答案去卖了。
课本要好好看。大学德语第一册比较容易，可以快点看完，看完后看熟单词，个人觉得看熟名词，先不用背词形，
形容词、介词和动词可以背熟。第二册比较难，有10单元，每天坚持看两个单元，一个星期可以看完。第二本看完后，要把单词背熟，语法看熟。语法可以用《二外德语·语法》这本书巩固，非常好的一本书，很薄很便宜但是讲的很好，刚好基本涵盖了第一二本的所有语法。《二外德语考研词汇详解》这本书很好，会把类似的词、相同词根的词放在一起，有利于记忆。《二外德语·词汇》也不错，有词汇，有课后题目，小小的一本。
第一步完成后，就可以开始用大学德语四级真题或者模拟题来练笔了，《新编大学德语四级考试模拟题》、《最新大学德语四级考试真题解析与模拟试题》，同济大学出版。很多可以做对看懂了。虽说书面上的德语资料很少，其实也很够用了，可惜我是考前第10天临时抱佛脚买的四级题目，做了二三套之后觉得很好。在大学德语四级真题或者模拟题的同时，可以来看第三本德语书了，比较难的一本书。但是如果前面两本书的单词语法学的扎实，会省力气很多。我强调，一定要做题目和看书相结合，我就是只看书不做题目，才会觉得老是看书枯燥乏味，如果做练习，至少可以学以致用，而且知识点会很巩固。
作文一定要写，我考前十天临时抱佛脚写了6、7篇，
就是研究大学德语四级作文的。考试的时候总算有点东西写了，只是写的不好，用的词汇语法都很简单。一开始真的好难写出来，建议大家先研究了10多篇范文（大学德语四级真题或者模拟题的就很好）才开始自己练笔。多学习用得好的词汇和句型，如果可以背一背也很好。
第四、翻译也可以用大学德语四级真题或者模拟题练，同济出的最新的大学德语四级真题与解析给出的翻译挺符
合广外翻译的，也是给出一段翻译。同济之前的大学德语四级真题与解析里面的翻译是一句句翻译，不是一段的，和广外的不同。不过，广外给出的翻译不难，完全可以看懂，我只练了练大学德语课本上的翻译，也可以了。
关于语法。《德语语法解析与练习》，我没做，语法和练习都很细的一本书，可惜答案都没有解析。大学德语四级真题或者模拟题就有解析，很不错。《德语语法表解》挺好的，一个个表利于记忆。
呵呵，我分低很大原因是花的时间不够多，10月份才开始，这里列的书大家可以用用，看完这些练完这些，肯定不止73分，毕竟很多练习我只做了一点点。

2014考研英语阅读理解原文之英语一text4 Illiberal Education and the 'Heart of the Matter' A new report on the humanities and social sciences misses a big reason they're in trouble. By PETER BERKOWITZ June 30, 2013 6:27 p.m. ET 'The Heart of the Matter," the just-released report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, deserves praise for affirming the importance of the humanities and social sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America. Regrettably, however, the report's failure to address the true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good. In 2010, leading congressional Democrats and Republicans sent letters to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences asking that it identify actions that could be taken by "federal, state and local governments, universities, foundations, educators, individual benefactors and others" to "maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education." In response, the American Academy formed the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences, with Duke University President Richard Brodhead and retired Exelon CEO John Rowe as co-chairmen. Among the commission's 51 members are top-tier-university presidents, scholars, lawyers, judges, and business executives, as well as prominent figures from diplomacy, filmmaking, music and journalism. The goals identified in the report are generally admirable. Because representative government presupposes an informed citizenry, the report supports full literacy; stresses the study of history and government, particularly American history and American government; and encourages the use of new digital technologies. To encourage innovation and competition, the report calls for increased investment in research, the crafting of coherent curricula that improve students' ability to solve problems and communicate effectively in the 21st

2014年考研英语阅读理解部分翻译真题译文+题目翻译 但为君故 但为君故 整理组
Text 1 为了“让生活变得更美好”以及减少“依赖”，英国财政大臣乔治·奥斯本引入了“求职预付金”计划。只有当失业者带着简历到就业中心，注册在线求职并开始找工作，才有资格获得补助金——然后他们应该每周而非每两周报告一次。有什么比这更合理呢？ 更加明显的合理性如下。现在领取求职者补贴要等待七天。“这前几天应该用来找工作，而不是办理失业登记（以获得救济金）。”他说，“我们这样做是因为我们知道，这样会帮助人们摆脱补助并让依赖补助的人尽快就业。”帮助？真的吗？乍一听，这是位关心社会的大臣，他努力改善人们的生活，包括对一个明显放纵的体系的“改革”，这个体系不要求新失业者付出多少努力去找工作，为其懒惰埋单。我们将会知道，激励他的是他对“基本的公正”的热诚——保护纳税人，控制花费以及确保只有最值得帮助的申请者才能得到补助金。 失业是痛苦的：你不会内心歌唱并跳跃着到就业中心去，为从这个慷慨国度得到加倍收入的前景而欣喜。在经济上它令人生畏，在心理感到难堪，并且你还知道那种扶持的微薄和非常难以得到。现在没人需要你；你现在被排除在工作环境之外，那里会给予你人生的目标和体制。更糟糕的是，失去了用以养家糊口和支付账单的至关重要的收入。问任何新失业者他们想要什么，答案永远是：一份工作。 但是在奥斯本之国，你的第一反应就是坠入依赖——永远的依赖，如果你能得到的话——它由一个非常乐意放任你弄虚作假的国家所支持。好像这二十年一直严厉的求职和补助金管理系统的改革从未发生过。英国福利的原则不再是如果发生灾难，你能为自己投保失业险和得到无条件赔付。甚至正是“求职者补贴”这个词语，在将失业者重新定义为“求职者”，他人通过缴纳国民保险金可享有补助，而求职者则没有这个基本权利。作为替代，申请者得到的是一周71.70 英镑的限时“补贴”，条件是积极地找工作：没有津贴也没有保险，在欧盟这也是最小气之一了。 21. 奥斯本的计划旨在 A 为失业者得到补助金提供更加容易的途径 B 鼓励求职者积极参与找工作 C 激励失业者自愿报告 D 保障求职者获取补助金的合法权利 22. 词组“to sign on”（在第二段第二行）最有可能意为 A 在就业中心核查是否可以找到工作 B 接受政府对补助的限制
