2017年全国硕士生招生统一考试已经结束。笔者根据今年的英语试题,得出阅读部分的两点结论:一是整体难度的持平,很多题目的选项从原文即可获得,或者稍加总结。新题型是课堂上预测过的排序题,且难度很小。二是文章时效性的加强,如第三篇的GDP与英国脱欧问题,第四篇谈到最高法院裁决案件,正如13年第4篇的题材(移民法),都是当年热议的话题。
第一篇阅读理解,谈到关于安检。美国的安检时间增长,为什么,因为防止恐怖分子袭击,而且目前越来越多的人坐飞机,这是一个主要原因。里面很多单词,如tolerate, anticipate, 都是之前试题中出现过的。第21题是例证题,直接看第二段第一句话即可得出A这个正确答案,不过考生如果看到最后两段,也能得出该答案。看来英语一每道细节题的整体感全局感,仍然很强。还有很多选项中都含有常见的“妖气词”,如22题的A与B,24题的B,选项里都含有非主题的专有名词,或者含连字符的词(carry-on, TSA, wrongly-directed)。
第二篇阅读理解,讲夏威夷和天文学话题,夏威夷文化中存在着对当地文化的崇拜。同样,里面很多题型都是在历年试题中见过的,如26题是例证题,答案选A,里面有role这个易选词。但本篇文章反押题很明显,如28题,29题的A项,C项有may这个老牌易选词,但没有选。课堂上的同学知道最新的必须是否定词加上may,才容易选。第29题是个总结型同义替换,选A,fulfill the dreams是原文who we are, where we come from and where we are going的总结表述。所以,虽然本篇文章的题材大家不是很熟,但题目难度不大。
第三篇阅读理解,讲的是英国脱欧与GDP问题,原本很多同学认为第三篇应该很难了,但其实也并不难。第31题还是个例证题,选C,你们看看,里面是不是还有个role? 这个词出现,一定是正确答案!但是同学们对下面几道题可能不太轻松。不过第33题,选D, 这个直接在原文可以看到一个总结的说法,特别是最后一句的rounded assessment. 这个就等于答案的enlightening了。还有,文中出现了Brexit这个单词,很多同学不熟,其实是对英国脱欧的一个戏谑的说法,即“英国退欧”。34题的B, 出现了foreshadow一词,“预示”的意思,同学们会不会想起07年第4篇最后一段的overshadow? 很像啊,但意思不一样。
第四篇阅读理解,讲了最高法院裁决的一起贪污案件。题材是传统的法律类,类似于2013年的第4篇文章,说明命题人有意在考试中突出时代感。第36题,考察原文的是一个短语,holding its nose, 捂住鼻子?人们什么时候捂住鼻子?感觉恶心的时候就会,所以选C,contemptuous of. 再比如37题,这道题选C,选项中的A与B,关于gift的都不对,因为文章第三段就被否定了。最后一题,40题,比较简单,单看最后一段,is a step forward,….就知道选D了,supportive.所以,如果同学们对13年第4篇还熟悉的话,本篇文章,难度亦不大。
就本次考试的新题型而言,是排序题。在课上笔者就跟同学们说过,新题型重点准备排序题和选择搭配题。本次难度创造历史新低,不仅是等额选项,而且各衔接段的首尾句,都体现了常见的考点,如:41题选F, 介绍生平,42题选E,关于father被释放,正好上文提到父亲进监狱。43题选A,因为上面的E最后有sketch这个词,在A的首句也有。44选C,主要看首句有after和Boaz这个两个单词,与上段重复。45题选G,看Pickwick和after即可判断。所以,这次排序题的难度,简直是逆天了!!
综上所述,本次英语一考试阅读理解部分,充分体现了命题人回归传统解题,难度降低,彻底反纯粹技巧的精神。与此同时,同学们在今后的语言学习中,也要注重单词、句子、常规解题策略等基本思维,才能以不变应万变,在激烈的竞争中夺取胜利。
