2009年自学考试英语(二)串讲资料(1)
语法主要考哪些项目?

英语(二)最常考的语法项目包括：动词时态和语态、非谓语动词、虚拟语气、定语从句、名词性从句、状语从句、比较级、语序、主谓一致、强调句、基本句型。

　　* 最常考的时态：现在完成时、过去完成时、过去时、一般现在时和将来完成时。

　　* 最常考的非谓语动词：独立结构、动名词作某些动词的宾语、非谓语动词作定语和状语。

　　* 最常考的虚拟语气：与过去事实相反的虚拟语气的从句和主句。

　　* 最常考的定语从句：where 引导的定语从句、名词/代词+ of + which引导的定语从句。

　　* 名词性从句：what，whether 引导的主语或宾语从句、that 引导的同位语从句。

　　* 状语从句：now that，in that，in case，as，while 引导的状语从句。

　　哪些词最有可能考单词拼写?

　　严格来说，只要是考纲中包括的词都有可能出现在单词拼写大题中，但是从历年考题可以看出，某些词的命中率要高于其它词，有些词甚至反复考过，这说明考生在背单词的时候还是可以在全面覆盖的基础之上突出重点、提高效率的。在这里我们不可能一一罗列重要的词汇，下面是我总结的英语(二)常考单词的特点：

　　* 绝大部分是长度在5-8个字母之间的中等难度的词，如：victim，gesture等;

　　* 拼写和读音不完全对称的词，如：dumb，subtle等。

　　* 个别非常简单、但课文中不是很常见的名词，如：tube.

　　* 从词性上来看，最常考的依次是名词、形容词、动词、和副词。

　　在复习这些单词时，一定要以考试大纲为准，而不能只背教材后面的生词表。一方面，教材后面的生词表中包含了不少超刚词，完全不会考到;另一方面，对英语(二)来说，从下册教材生词表中出的单词只占三分之一，不可能涵盖所有要考的内容。同样在复习时一定要讲究准确性，确保背一个记准一个，而不能只是记个大概，最后写出来每个都差不多但每个都有错。

　　复习建议

　　针对上述预测，我们如何制定冲刺阶段的复习计划呢?下面是我推荐的三步复习法。

　　1.第一步，应该抽出半个月到二十天的时间，把书上可能考到的内容好好地总结一下。课文中涉及的重要的语法现象，如带虚拟语气、独立主格的句子，接动名词作宾语的动词，倒装句，强调句，what，that，whether引导的从句等，最好都分类摘抄下来。

　　2.做完整理工作后，应该进入下一步，即通过一定量的模拟训练来熟悉考试题型、提高实战能力。模拟训练应注意以下几点：

　　(1) 做题时，一定要独立完成。不管做题的过程多么困难，都要硬着头皮去做，只有这样才能在考场上发挥自如。

　　(2)保持一定的频率也很重要。至少一周应该完成两套题，否则达不到强化的效果。

　　(3)及时总结。如果做完几套题后反复出现同样的错误，一定要请老师对相关内容作详细的讲解，并针对性地多做巩固练习，直到问题得到真正的解决。

　　(4)做完十套左右的模拟题后，应该再做几套最近几年的真题。这时你可以对自己的实际水平有一个比较准确的估计。哪些方面是你的长处，哪些方面还存在薄弱环节，并利用最后一两周的时间来进行弥补。

　　(5)除了做题，这三个月期间应该天天坚持的是背单词。每天抽出半个小时至一个小时，把大纲词汇包括后面的词组至少从头至尾完整地过一遍，有可能考拼写的重点单词要动笔抄写，常用活用的词要记搭配，容易混淆的词放在一起进行比较。

　　3.最后一周的总复习。考试前的最后一周应该再来一次全面的总复习。复习内容包括第一步中抄下来的课文中的重点句子、第二步作题时纪录下来的常出错的语法项，重点的单词，和总结出来的答题技巧。如果还有时间，也可以把最后做过的真题再做一遍。相信经过精心的计划和充分的准备，此刻的你一定成竹在胸，胜券在握了。
