课堂内容提要：

一、现阶段复习内容

1、复习时间保持在每天三到四小时，每天都要背单词。因为从暑假开始，很多同学要上考研辅导班；且暑假之后的复习顺序是：第一，政治，第二，专业课。所以，从现在到6月24号是英语复习的黄金时期，必须重视。

2、英语无法在短时间内速成，复习节奏是前紧后松：前面越努力，后面英语越轻松。政治暑假之后开始完全来得及。

3、具体复习方法：点线面题的结合

第一，单词是个点，一定要练成句子；考研之所以难，是因为句子难。所以要把单词连成句子，句子连成文章。文章里各位同学做题，掌握技巧，这就是点线面题，四位一体。

二、单词

时间：每天一定要背单词，首先每天一定要至少一个小时背单词。

内容：重点背核心常考单词2228个，单词要分频背诵。推荐：《2014阅卷人真题词汇分频速记宝典》

方法：记笔记：记忆熟词生意、记忆构词法、记忆一词多义。然后每天坚持30分钟看笔记上的内容。

二、长难句

1、每天除了背单词，还要看核心语法和长难句；好处在于可以在长难句中背单词

2、建议大家每天看两个长难句。

3、很多同学担心自己的语法，其实考研英语不考语法，只是把语法放在句子里考。

4、阅读长难句的方法：

把主干找到，插入语起解释说明作用，不是主干；that 后面是个完整的句子，是就是宾语从句；找到宾语从句，无论看到任何一个长句子，这样做就容易掌握得多。

三、抄写精读文章

1、每天除了长难句，要抄精读一篇文章；每天一篇，推荐真题上的文章。

2、这样做的目的和优势在于：

第一，可以背单词，第二可以复习语法和长难句，第三可以掌握做题技巧

四、关于真题

练习真题分两个阶段：先阶段先练习1994-2004年间的，是为基础阶段；暑假以后看2005-2013年。

五、复习诀窍

按部就班，努力坚持，相信同学们都能考取好成绩。

六 长难句分析（课堂例句及文章）

1、从句

主语从句

What is harder to establish is whether the productivity revolution that businessmen assume they are presiding over is for real.  

宾语从句

One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil pricesis that,unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity price inflation and global excess demand.

同位语从句

These leaders are living proof that prevention works and that we can manage the health problems that come naturally with age. 

状语从句

When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal.  

2、文章

Being a man has always been dangerous. There are about 105 males born for every 100 females, but this ratio drops to near balance at the age of maturity, and among 70-year-olds there are twice as many women as men. But the great universal of male mortality is being changed. Now, boy babies survive almost as well as girls do. This means that, for the first time, there will be an excess of boys in those crucial years when the are searching for a mate. More important, another chance for natural selection has been removed. Fifty years ago, the chance of a baby (particularly a boy baby) surviving depended on its weight. A kilogram too light or too heavy meant almost certain death. Today it makes almost no difference. Since much of the variation is due to genes one more agent of evolution has gone.

There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide: stay alive, but have fewer children. Few people are as fertile as in the past. Except in some religious communities, very few women has 15 children. Nowadays the number of births, like the age of death, has become average. Most of us have roughly the same number of offspring. Again, differences between people and the opportunity for natural selection to take advantage of it have diminished. India shows what is happening. The country offers wealth for a few in the great cities and poverty for the remaining tribal peoples. The grand mediocrity of today — everyone being the same in survival and number of offspring — means that natural selection has lost 80% of its power in upper-middle-class India compared to the tribes.

For us, this means that evolution is over; the biological Utopia has arrived. Strangely, it has involved little physical change. No other species fills so many places in nature. But in the past 100,000 years — even the past 100 years — our lives have been transformed but our bodies have not. We did not evolve, because machines and society did it for us. Darwin had a phrase to describe those ignorant of evolution: they "look at an organic being as savage looks at a ship, as at something wholly beyond his comprehension." No doubt we will remember a 20th century way of life beyond comprehension for its ugliness. But however amazed our descendants may be at how far from Utopia we were, they will look just like us.
