在自考的全部专业中,英语本科的淘汰率一直高居“榜首”,同时《英美文学选读》又是整个本科专业的瓶颈课程。
我们随机抽取了两刀(40本)试卷进行统计,发现该门课程的通过率大致在12%左右,可能是自考全部课程最低的。
绝大部分成绩徘徊在40分到58分之间,大约占了44.7%。
我们批改到的最高分大约是82分,成绩相当出色!一、试卷构成《英美文学选读》全国卷由四部分组成:第一部分是40分的选择题,每题1分,覆盖面十分广泛。
从以往几次试卷来看,该部分主要考核英美文学史,也包括少量选读中的内容,多属于常识性知识,例如今年14题要求辨别If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?的作者;2001年11题要求辨别It was a miracle of rare device, A sunny pleasure done with caves of ice.的作者和出处;还有每年必定会有一题考核作品中出现的人物,例如2001年第8题是Sheridan’s The School for Scandal中的人物,今年28题是The Scarlet Letter的人物。
由于内容大多属于大纲中的“识记”性知识,不需要多少理解,因此正确率相应比较高。
但有时题目的切入点十分灵活比如2001年第6题,需要考生有较好的基本功。
第二部分是四道共16分的阅读理解。
考题内容均取自选读部分,一般是两篇诗歌,两篇小说,要求指出:A)作者和作品出处(1分)B)作品中具体某个词或词组的确切意义(1分)C)表述该选段的思想内容(2分)。
考生需要认真研读作品,和作品后面的注释,平时做一些读书笔记。
第三部分是四道共24分的简答题,内容的跨越比较大,既有阅读理解部分的延伸,也有某一时期的文学思潮,还有对某一断代史的简论,答对率非常低。
第四部分是两题共20分的问答题。
一般是某个重要作家或作品的特色以及对他们的评价。
二、试卷评析文学术语(俗称的名词解释)是基本的文学常识,是对文学中共性问题的抽象概括,因此对于这些术语不可等闲视之。
