本文導航這是在職人員復習考研英語的重要障礙。對于大多數的在職人員來說,完全辭職,全心全意地復習考研不現實,必須利用業余時間復習。三是干擾較多。在職人員常有些社會活動和應酬,甚至還要加班和出差,不能像在校大學生那樣,有整塊兒的時間復習考研。面對種種困難,在職人員要如何做才能有效地復習考研英語呢?
化整為零高效復習
在職人員要學會利用零散時間來學習。對于很多在職人員來說,英語詞匯是復習英語的第一關,但只要考生用心,就能在零散的時間中攻克詞匯關。
有兩個考生的例子,可供借鑒。
有一位考生為了背單詞,他把自己不熟悉的考研大綱中的單詞全都存在一個word文件里,然后把word文件保存在自己辦公室電腦里,平時的工休時間經常翻看這些單詞。通過這樣一個反復看和記的過程,不用專門留出記憶單詞的時間,基本上把英文單詞復習得差不多了。
還有位考生每天上下班開車需要兩個小時,他把所有英語單詞的讀音、漢語意思和拼寫都錄了下來。如“水”,water這個單詞,他是這么錄的:“water,水,w-a-t-e-r,”。他將錄音文件刻成一張碟放在車上。平常上下班的路上,他就聽英語單詞,經過兩三個月的時間就把這些單詞基本記住了。
集中時間攻擊核心
在職人員備考英語,時間最寶貴。我建議在職人員復習英語時,不要做模擬題,因為考生平常沒有那么多時間。考生要將有限的時間全部投入到做往年試題上,而且不要貪多,做五六套就可以了,要將這些試題反復做熟,確保將其中的單詞、詞組、句子,包括題目的含義等內容全部搞清楚。
同題作文多改兩遍
很多在職人員復習考研英語時,通常忽略了寫作練習。考生可將往年試題中的寫作題目抽出來練習,而且一個作文題目不能只寫一遍,要寫三遍。
第一遍,考生要按照考試要求在20分鐘內寫完。有的考生表示,在規定時間內無法完成作文,只寫了一半。沒關系,如果時間到了,那就寫到這兒為止,不要再接著寫下去了。第二天,考生可再回過頭來寫第二遍。
第二遍,考生先將昨天未完成的文章補全,然后再修改錯誤。此時,考生可修改兩種錯誤,一是拼寫錯誤,二是語法錯誤。
第三遍,考生要對照題目要求,檢查一下自己寫的每一句話,看看是否符合。如果有一句話跟題目要求無關,就把它換掉。

Is teaching important? Well, of course it is. There was a time when the necessary knowledge could be taught to the young by family members. But as societies became more complex and division of labor more common, it was impossible for family members to teach the information and skills young people needed to become useful members of the society. As the need for specialists appeared, the job of teaching came into being in our country, and teaching as a job has been of increasing importance over the past hundred years. Today, we have strict rules for teachers. We hope all children can attend schools. Many things tell us that teaching is indeed an "important" job.
In recent years, there has been an increasing need for teachers to be "responsible". This means that the public expects teachers to succeed in teaching important information to the young. Teachers' salaries today, while not much, certainly are much higher than they were in years past. These increases have come about because people have realized that without enough salaries, people who have abilities will not become teachers. Today almost no one says that "anybody will do" for a teacher. The public expects "quality people" to teach the young, and progress is being made to give salaries that will make people who have abilities become teachers.
1. Before the job of teaching came into being, __ .

A. show the importance of teaching as a job
B. attract more qualified people to become teachers

參考答案:B
4. "Anybody will do" for a teacher means that __ .
A. almost all people want to become a teacher
B. a teacher is so highly respected that people all want to help him
C. a teacher will do whatever he can for his students

參考答案:D
5. We know from the passage that __ .
A. it is important to be successful in teaching the young
B. enough salaries are necessary in making quality people become teachers
C. greater progress has to be made in teaching
D. teaching is a product of the society's division of labor
參考答案:B
In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.
In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor's degree.
Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.
One type of test is sometimes called an "objective" test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly.
1. In the Middle Ages students ______.
A. took objective tests
B. specialized in one subject
C. were timed by electric clocks

B. spoken
C. objective
D. written
參考答案:C
4. Modern industry must have developed ______.
A. before the Middle Ages
B. around the 19th century
C. in Greece or Rome
D. machines to take tests
參考答案:B
5. It may be concluded that testing ______.
A. should test only opinions
B. should always be written
C. has changed since the Middle Ages
D. is given only in factories
參考答案:C
本文導航 1) 語氣:
陳述,疑問,祈使,虛擬
2) 虛擬語氣:表示一種純然假想的情況或主觀愿望,動詞需要用一種特殊形式。
形式分為三類:現在虛擬語氣(動詞用原形),過去虛擬語氣(動詞用過去式,但動詞be要用were),過去完成形式(動詞用過去完成時)。有些情態動詞,如should, would, might常用在虛擬語氣中。
3) 虛擬語氣在條件句中的用法:
虛擬條件句:就是包含條件從句的句子。
條件句分為:
真實條件句——有些條件句是可能實現的。
虛擬條件句——有些條件句是純假象的句子。
If we leave now, we can still catch the train.
If I had enough money, I would buy a computer.
If you are waiting for a bus you’d better join the queue.
4) 表示現在和將來情況的虛擬條件句:
⑴表示現在或將來的虛擬條件句——從句中的謂語(用過去式形式);主句謂語(would+動詞原形)
If I had a map I would lend it to you.
If you left your bike outside, someone would steal it.
If I were you I’d plant some trees round the house.
注:If I were you句中,were不能改成was,但在第三人稱單數后用was也可以。如:
If Helen were(was) here how nice it would be!
⑵主句謂語有時也可以由might, could構成。
If I could type, I might save a lot of time.
If he had a permit he could get a job.
⑶在條件句從句中有時還可以用were to +動詞,或should+動詞。
If he were (was) to resign, who would take his place?
If I should be free tomorrow, I will come to see you.
⑷在某些條件從句中(如were to +動詞,should+動詞),if有時可以省略,這時語序要改為倒裝。
Were I Tom, I would refuse.
Were I in your shoes I would let him know what I thought of him.
Should she be interested, I’ll phone her.
⑸從句有時可以用If it were not for這種句型,表示“若不是”。
If it were not for your help, we would be in serious trouble.
5) 表示過去情況的虛擬條件句:(這類從句表示一個與事實相反的過去情況)
⑴表示過去情況的虛擬條件句——條件從句中的謂語(相當于過去式的形式);主句的謂語(would have+過去分詞)
If I had known that you were coming, I would have met you at the airport.
If I had left sooner, I’d have caught the bus.
What would you have done if you’d been in my position?
注:在主句中,如果主語是第一人稱,可以用should構成謂語。
I should (would) have talked it to my mother if I had thought of it.
⑵主句中也可用could和might構成,有時還可由should構成。
If my father had lived, he could have done all this for me.
If we had found him earlier we might have saved his life.
If he had apologized, you should have done so too.
⑶從句中也可用had not been for來構成謂語,表示“要不是”。
If it hadn’t been for your timely help, we would have got into serious trouble.
If it hadn’t been for her meticulous care, I wouldn’t have got well so soon.
⑷if有時可以省略,但后面部分需要倒裝。
Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I would not have believed it.
Had it not been for their support, we couldn’t have won the election.
Had Mark been in charge, it wouldn’t have happened.
其他知識點:
1) 常考點有:對a、過去的虛擬語氣,b、錯綜句的考查,c、還有去掉if將助動詞had ,情態動詞should,be動詞提前等
2) 要注意哪些詞可以用作虛擬語氣 如as if(though),if only, demand, insist, suggest但要注意suggest 表示“表明”時不用虛擬語氣,如 her expression suggest that she made a mistake.
3) 要求,建議,命令等+ (should) do,用虛擬語氣demand, insist, require,request, demand, desire, ask(要求),suggest,advise, propose(提議),urge(催促),vote(投票),command(命令), order, recommend,intend, petition(懇請)。
4) It is adj. that… 用虛擬語氣 important, illegal, essential,vital,appropriate,unfair,dreadful,strange,surprising,natural,unthinkable
5) It’s (high) time后的定語從句中謂語要用虛擬語氣(多用過去虛擬語氣)
It’s high time we went.
6) 錯綜時間條件句:有些條件句主句謂語和從句謂語表示的動作在時間上并不一致。
If the weather had been more favorable, the corps would be growing still better.
If he had received six more votes, he would be our chairman now.
