【温馨提示】现在很多小机构虚假宣传，育明教育咨询部建议考生一定要实地考察，并一定要查看其营业执照，或者登录工商局网站查看企业信息。
目前，众多小机构经常会非常不负责任的给考生推荐北大、清华、北外等名校，希望广大考生在选择院校和专业的时候，一定要慎重、最好是咨询有丰富经验的考研咨询师.北京师范大学英美文学考研试题（721）基础英语一.完形填空（20分）一篇短文，挖出20个空，讲learning second language对人大脑的好处，没有选项，没有首字母提示，全凭上下文分析，应该能填出来，只是不确定是否为最佳答案，难度不是很大。
二.阅读一（18分）heading搭配，多给了两个备选项，讲的是一个小型电影节三.阅读二（18分）段落排序，原文少了六个段落，给了七个选项，选进去，讲的是一些科学结论及research可信性，大家要学会辨别四.阅读三（24分）两道主观大题，一道12分，文章讲thinking分三个level，第一题阐释三个level是什么，并自己举例，第二大题elaborate作者最后一句话五.翻译（30分）一段比较formal的文章，从中截取了五六个长句子，讲的是在学校实行的种族隔离对儿童的影响，号召取消这样的隔离六.作文（40分）encouraging young people that they canaccomplish great things if they try hard enough is misleading and potentially harmful谈谈你的看法（941）英语语言文学一.单选（10分）唯一的五道选择题，范围比较宽，比如说以下作品共有的特点（lyrical啊，还是ballad之类的），或是以下五位作者属于哪个时代，还出了一个Emerson的self-reliance的小选段，分析作者这样说的意义等等（以前没看过也没关系，和阅读题一样直接分析就行）总之这五道应该是把基础知识看了就差不多。

The obscurity lent him courage to keep his eyes fastened as ardently as he liked upon the girl who sat in the firelight.She was very handsome ,with a certain fine, rich coloring that belongs to the healthy brune type. She was quite composed, as she idly stroke the satiny coat of the cat that lay curled in her lap, and she occasionally sent a slow glance into the shadow where her companion sat. They were talking low, of different things that occupied their thoughts. She knew that he loved her-a frank blustering fellow without guile enough to conceal his feelings, and no desire to do so. For two weeks past, he had sought her society eagerly and persistently. She was confidently waiting foe him to declare himself and she meant to accept him. The rather insignificant and unattractive Grantain was enormously rich; and she liked and required the entourage which wealth could give her.During one of the pauses between their talk of the last tea and the next reception the door opened and a young man entered whom Brantain knew quite well. The girl turned her face toward him. A stride or two brought him to her side,and bending over her chair-before she could suspect his intention for she did not realize that he had not seen his visitor-he pressed an ardent, lingering kiss upon her lips.From The Kiss by Kate Chopin2The hills across the valley of the Ebro were long and white. On this side there was no shade and no trees and the station was between two lines of rails in the sun. Close against the side of the station there was the warm shadow of the building and a curtain, made of strings of bamboo beads, hung across the open door into the bar, to keep out flies. The American and the girl with him sat at a table in the shade, outside the building. It was very hot and the express from Barcelona would come in forty minutes. It stopped at this junction for two minutes and went on to Madrid. “What should we drink?” the girl asked. She sat taken off her hat and put it on the table.“It’s pretty hot,” the man said,“Let’s drink beer.”“Dos cervezas,” the man said into the curtain.“Big ones?” a woman asked from the doorway.“Yes, two big ones.”…The girl looked the bead curtain. “They have painted something on it,” she said.“What does it say?”“Anis del T oro. It’s a drink.”“Could we try it?”…“It tasted like licorice,” the girl said and put the glass down.“That’s the way with everything.”“Yes,” said the girl ,”everything tastes like licorice. Especially all the things you have waited for so long, like absinthe.”“Oh, cut it out.”“You started it,” the girl said,” I was being amused. I was having a fine time.”From Hills Like White Elephants By Ernest Hemingway Topics for comments:ment on the girl’s character in the first excerpt. Thegirl’s name is Nathalie. Support your opinion with the details from the excerpt.2.Though both the stories are told from the third personpoint of view, there are some differences. Discuss how the difference(s) in their point of view affects the reading of two stories.Ⅵ. Read the following short passage about literary creation and answer the questions. 20%“Nothing can please many, and please long, but just representations of general nature. Particular manners can be known to few, and therefore few only can judge how nearly they are copied. The irregular combinations of fanciful invention may delight a while by that novelty of which the common satiety of life sends us all in quest; but the pleasures of sudden wonder are soon exhausted, and the mind can only repose on the stability of truth. Shakespeare is, above all writers, at least above all modern writers, the poet of nature; the poet that holds upto his readers a faithful mirror of manners and of life. His characters are not modified by the customs of particular places, unpracticed by the rest of the world; by the peculiarities of studies or professions, which can operate but upon small numbers; or by the accidents of transient fashions or temporary opinions; they are the genuine progeny of common humanity, such as the world will always supply and observation will always find. His persons act and speak by the influence of those general passions and principals by which all minds are agitated and the whole system of life is continued in motion. In the writings of other poets a character is too often an individual; in those of Shakespeare it is commonly a species.1.What is the main idea of the author in respect ofliterary creation?2.What is your opinion of it? Do you agree with it or donot agree? Why? 3.。
北京师范大学英语语言文学章燕英美诗歌考博真题-参考书-分数线一、专业的设置章燕老师的英美诗歌方向是一个考博热门方向，一方面是因为章老师在这一领域浸淫多年，很有造诣，另一方面是因为这一个方向本身有研究的学术价值。
这一个方向属于英语语言文学专业的一个下设方向，由于章老师每一年只带一个博士生，在这里提供各位考生，要想报考这个方向，很有必要跟章老师提前沟通。
二、考试的科目英美诗歌的考试科目为：①1113二外（日语）或1114二外（法语）②2019英美文学基础③3809英美诗歌及诗论三、导师介绍章燕，北京师范大学博士，教授，主要研究方向：英美诗歌及西方文论四、参考书目专业课信息应当包括一下几方面的内容：第一，关于参考书和资料的使用。
这一点考生可以咨询往届的博士学长，也可以和育明考博联系。
参考书是理论知识建立所需的载体，如何从参考书抓取核心书目，从核心书目中遴选出重点章节常考的考点，如何高效的研读参考书、建立参考书框架，如何灵活运用参考书中的知识内容来答题，是考生复习的第一阶段最需完成的任务。
另外，考博资料获取、复习经验可咨询叩叩：肆九叁叁，柒壹六，贰六，专业知识的来源也不能局限于对参考书的研读，整个的备考当中考生还需要阅读大量的paper，读哪一些、怎么去读、读完之后应该怎么做，这些也会直接影响到考生的分数。
第二，专题信息汇总整理。
每一位考生在复习专业课的最后阶段都应当进行专题总结，专题的来源一方面是度历年真题考点的针对性遴选，另一方面是导师研究课题。
最后一方面是专业前沿问题。
每一个专题都应当建立详尽的知识体系，做到专题知识点全覆盖。
第三，专业真题及解析。
专业课的试题都是论述题，答案的开放性比较强。
一般每门专业课都有有三道大题，考试时间各3小时，一般会有十几页答题纸。
考生在专业课复习中仅仅有真题是不够的，还需要配合对真题最权威最正统的解析，两相印证才能够把握导师出题的重点、范围以及更加偏重哪一类的答案。
第四，导师的信息。

自考励志故事_自考励志真实人物高等教育自学考试是我国高等教育体系的重要组成部分。
自考大学生是较为特殊的学生群体。
下面是小编给大家整理的自考励志故事，供大家参阅!自考励志故事:人过四十不学艺。
可是家住长安区的53岁下岗工人王学哲自强不息，当图书管理员的他用4年的时间，自考完成了大专、大本的32门课程，获得了律师专业本科的毕业证书，虽然比硕士女儿还晚毕业一年，但是老王还计划考律师资格证以继续深造，真是应了一句老话人若有志不怕迟。
下岗后成为图书管理员1982年，28岁的王学哲从白水县调入长安区一家手表厂，当时在机修车间当机修工，爱学习的他一直想圆儿时的大学梦，一直在利用业余时间学习。
1986年至1989年他参加一所函授大学获得了大专学历。
1989年到1996年，参加中央党校学习获得了本科学历。
1997年单位不景气、下岗待业，他在家附近的一所高等职业学校找到了一份图书管理员的工作，每月有几百元工资。
这时候，爱人也下岗了，还有一个上学的女儿，家庭经济十分困难。
四年自考路悲喜交加富有正义感的老王在大家眼里是有学问的人，有些工人有矛盾就来找他评理，他也产生了将来当律师的想法，结果一问才知道要有法律专业的国民教育本科学历才可以，于是2003年初，他报名参加了高等教育自学考试，随后他开始利用业余时间学习，当时，女儿王莉也在陕西师范大学读硕士，为了减轻经济负担，年近五十的妻子杨会玲去当十分辛苦的勤杂工，为的是每月有六七百元的收入。
自考每门课程要150元左右，家里几乎所有的钱都用在了学习上。
王学哲清楚地记得他第一次去自考考场，因为年龄太大在教室几乎所有的学生都当他是监考老师，那种滋味真是难受极了。
将来想要当律师2007年6月30日，王学哲同时获得了法律大专、律师本科自考毕业证书，辛苦学习这么多年终于获得了文凭，一家人高兴不已，女儿也留校工作，经济情况有了好转。
谈到自考中的难点，王学哲说，由于过去没学过计算机，这门功课他认为最难，多亏女儿利用节假日辅导了一年他才顺利过关，如今他认为没有什么能阻挡他继续学习的脚步，他准备下一步考律师资格证，将来再考律师执业证，有生之年当一名律师。

北京师范大学外文学院所招收的英语语言文学专业，其专业课程包括两门课程，一为基础英语，一为英语语言文学，同时外国语言学与应用语言学专业课程包括基础英语，语言学。
北京师范大学历年的基础英语试卷的题目出的比较全面，可以说整齐划一。
有语法、词汇、阅读理解、英译汉和汉译英，结构一目了然，看上去很清爽，语法占的比重较大，足见其对语法基本功的重视。
另外，基础英语部分的语法部分的每个小题目所占的分值小，就是说我们注重的是细节，考察的是对英文文法的每个细节部分到底有没有掌握足够清楚，而非宏观的语法概念问题。
而北师基英的词汇部分考的很灵活，甚至可以说很有创意，创意在于利用语义场的关系划分词的褒贬、内涵、外延等。
阅读理解的答题方式多半是主观答题，如paraphrase，还有问答题等。
翻译题字数不多，往往在400字左右不等，内容多以文学批评为主，有时候会涉及文学作品尤其是散文，也有一年考过关于翻译的一部分理论，也有关于哲学或者美学的部分可能会出现，也有时候会考一定的使用文体，比如08年考的关于黄山的一段文章。
可见，对于翻译部分，我们需要大量的翻译实践，从文体到内容，需要涉猎丰富，才可以应对翻译题目的考察。
北师大英美文学英语语言文学专业试卷中，第一部分噶文学史考试内容主要是、填空，主要考查英美文学各个文学时期的重点内容，如名词术语，作家作品等；第二种题型是简答与评论，该题主要考查学生对英美文学的综合概括、与运用能力的考查。
考生应该注重英美文学经典作品的评价，尤其是主题人物分析。
另外还要注意，对诗歌等文学作品的分析和评论，常见的考查形式是给出一首诗或一段文学作品，如小说节选，提出3-4个问题让你回答。
由于师大外文学院英语语言文学方面注重英文诗歌的研究所以考生们应该注重经典作品的阅读分析及评论等方面知识的积累，同时要学会灵活运用这方面去分析同类问题，做到举一反三。
解题是有一定的方法和技巧的，如何灵活运用，要看你对知识的掌握。
英美文学普通211保研北师大经验贴简介：郑州大学外语学院英语语言文学专业，收到山大，人大，保研到北京师范大学外国语言文学院攻读英美文学专业，大学三年绩点3.8，8/164，专四及口语均为优秀，获两年励志奖学金，两年三好学生，（大三学年的评优评先保完研之后才开始），优秀团员，优秀青年志愿者，社会实践活动先进个人，一个教育机构实习证明（还有一个实习，但没有证明），商洽会口译员证明。
保完研之后并没有天堂般的悠闲和舒适，因为闲下来的日子过得心很慌，所以，回想一下前期准备和将近一个月在外奔波的保研历程，我觉得十分有必要总结一下，既为自己反思人生阶段，也为学弟学妹们提供一些参考。
准备篇搜集信息，评估自己，确定目标大概在大一末第一次听到成绩如果保持，有可能被保研这个词汇，大三正式有意识的争取名额，9月20日左右正式公示名额。
所幸，真的有我。
除了学习成绩的准备，推免信息的搜索也是至关重要。
保研一定程度上来说也是一场信息战。
第一阶段，我参加了很多讲座，了解了保研考研的区别，还有与我排名相似的学姐们保研的院校做参考，仅做参考，保研期间报学校的技巧我之后会详细解释，第二阶段针对性询问目标院校的学长学姐，题型，风格，以及难易度，并在三个官网上找招生简章，招生目录，专业院系介绍，是否有博士点等等。
Tips: 用好浏览器，微信等的收藏栏，用截图，下载图片，文件夹等等方式保存下有用信息，分类汇总，以便再次查找那么保研和考研的区别是什么呢？1.保研对前五学期或者前三学年的成绩排名要求高，而考研则向全体应届生开放。
北外预报名对前三学年成绩要求为前15%，北师大要求名列前茅，山东大学要求获得推免资格等等。
我们院排名按所有的必修课和专业选修课的绩点排名（86与89的绩点一样），17年首次将专英和科英合在一起计算，有些同学会受到不小影响，英语专业保研名额为20个，日语6个，德语3个，俄语2个。
2.保研选择范围比考研大很多。
考研只能报一个学校的一个专业，十分需要对自己全面的评估和破釜沉舟的胆识，而保研国家系统上可以报3个平行志愿，而在国家系统开放之前，很多同学的学校就已经确定了，这是因为保研分5,6月份报名、暑假参加的夏令营，大部分学校进行的预报名和最后阶段的国家系统，这就意味着你可以尝试尽可能多的学校，我一共申请过大概12所学校，参加了四个半学校的考试，收到三个录取通知。
