三

歷年考試中存在的典型問(wèn)題分析1．

不會(huì)審題，偏離主題。

2．

漢語(yǔ)思維，逐字翻譯。常見(jiàn)考生用漢語(yǔ)構(gòu)思文章，同時(shí)將漢語(yǔ)句子硬譯成英語(yǔ)。3．

用詞搭配不當(dāng)。

4．

詞匯量小，表達(dá)困難，拼法錯(cuò)誤。

5．

句法邏輯關(guān)系混亂。例如：ourenglishclaoftentoldstories.正確的應(yīng)是:storiesareoftentoldonourenglishcla.

6．不會(huì)用關(guān)聯(lián)詞轉(zhuǎn)承上下句和段落。關(guān)聯(lián)詞即過(guò)渡詞，運(yùn)用過(guò)渡詞，可使上下句子和段落合理連接，承上啟下，使表達(dá)合乎邏輯，常見(jiàn)過(guò)渡詞如asfaras,however,well,though,inspiteof。7．

語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤。主要表現(xiàn)為：

（1）

分不清及物與不及物動(dòng)詞，例如：rise，raise；hear,listen（2）

被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)和主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)的誤用,例如:interesting和interested（3）

詞類(lèi)混淆,將動(dòng)詞或形容詞誤用作名詞,將名詞或動(dòng)詞誤用作形容詞,例如:benefit和beneficial;difficult和difficulty;pleasure和pleased等。（4）

混淆可數(shù)名詞和不行數(shù)名詞，例如：help，practice等。（5）

冠詞、情態(tài)動(dòng)詞、介詞、代詞等方面的錯(cuò)誤，例如：aenglishbook,shoulddid,mustdone等。

四．如何寫(xiě)出美麗的文章

文章要內(nèi)容切題，表達(dá)清晰，意思連貫，語(yǔ)言比較規(guī)范。這就要求考生在寫(xiě)作時(shí)，把握如下方面：1．

統(tǒng)一性（unity）

內(nèi)容切題，事實(shí)上就是要求文章統(tǒng)一性。所謂統(tǒng)一性，就是指短文必需圍圍著主題擴(kuò)展，不能多中心。統(tǒng)一性表現(xiàn)在句子、段落和篇章三個(gè)層次上。我們寫(xiě)漢語(yǔ)文章的要求是首先不能跑題，事實(shí)上就是對(duì)統(tǒng)一性的要求。2．

連貫性(coherence)指句子與句子之間、段落與段落之間的連接要自然通暢，主要體現(xiàn)在文章的邏輯發(fā)展依次和過(guò)渡詞語(yǔ)的運(yùn)用上。1）

邏輯依次

根據(jù)時(shí)間先后，或空間位置的相互關(guān)系，我們可以寫(xiě)出眉目清楚、符合邏輯的段落或文章。敘述文體多采納時(shí)間依次，描寫(xiě)文體中空間依次更常見(jiàn)。高潮形成系指根據(jù)其重要性或嚴(yán)峻性支配各個(gè)發(fā)展點(diǎn)（指段落）或發(fā)展段（指文章）的依次，這種語(yǔ)篇發(fā)展方法在描寫(xiě)、敘述、說(shuō)明和爭(zhēng)論文中均常出現(xiàn)。英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)篇的邏輯依次支配一般是先談最次要的內(nèi)容，2

繼而談?shì)^為重要的內(nèi)容，最終再談最重要的內(nèi)容，從而形成文章高潮。2）

過(guò)渡詞語(yǔ)的運(yùn)用——語(yǔ)篇的外在連貫手段

有時(shí)，單靠邏輯上的連貫對(duì)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)篇來(lái)說(shuō)是很不夠的，因而過(guò)渡詞語(yǔ)的運(yùn)用必不行少。漢語(yǔ)的連貫屬于“意合”，英語(yǔ)的連貫屬“形合”，而借助過(guò)渡詞語(yǔ)取得語(yǔ)篇的連貫是形合法最突出的特點(diǎn)。所以，在英語(yǔ)文章內(nèi)，諸如等過(guò)渡詞語(yǔ)特殊多。它們的運(yùn)用挑明白句子與句子之間、段落與段落之間的關(guān)系，使文章更加顯得連貫。由于受漢語(yǔ)“意合”的影響，中國(guó)學(xué)生常忽視過(guò)渡詞語(yǔ)的運(yùn)用。所以中國(guó)學(xué)生在進(jìn)行英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)作時(shí)必需對(duì)此給以足夠的重視。、

3．

語(yǔ)言規(guī)范

語(yǔ)言的規(guī)范涉及面廣。小至遣詞造句，大到語(yǔ)篇結(jié)構(gòu)，無(wú)不體現(xiàn)語(yǔ)言運(yùn)用的質(zhì)量。依據(jù)近年博士生入學(xué)英語(yǔ)考試的作文試卷統(tǒng)計(jì)，很多考生未嫻熟駕馭造句技能甚至不能保證單詞拼法正確、句子無(wú)重大語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤。因此要多讀多看英語(yǔ)報(bào)刊和原著，從中學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言用法，沒(méi)有細(xì)致閱讀過(guò)、理解過(guò)的東西千萬(wàn)不要在作文中運(yùn)用，切忌中國(guó)式英語(yǔ)。、、
