06秋《文学英语赏析》应考指南

巴南电大罗承芳

一、复习应考基本要求

本学科是由中央电大本期新开设的英语专业本科层次的一门必修课程，开课一期，学完考试及格记3学分。

本门课程的考试要求由中央电大制定，因此所有考试的有关内容要求请以中央电大下发的期末复习小册子及中央电大教学平台上挂的内容为准。

（一）考试范围

教材《文学英语赏析》及联系实际的有关内容。

（二）考试形式

考试形式：

闭卷考试。

考试时间：

90分钟。

（三）试题类型

本门课程的笔试由三部分构成。

第一部分：

文学基础知识，30分，分为三个小部分。

第1个小部分，Section1.Matchthewriterswiththeirworks，测试的形式是给出五篇著名的作品和七位作家，作家和作品对号，占10分。

第2个小部分，Section2. DecidewhetherthefollowingstatementsareTrue（T）orFalse（F） 。

测试的形式是给出五句关于作家作品、作品梗概等文学常识的论述，要求考生判断正误，占10分。

第3个小部分，Section3.Choosethecorrectanswerstocompletethefollowingsentences。

测试形式是单项选择，也就是给出四个选项，考生做出选择。

这部分主要考查学生对文学基础知识，和作家作品的熟悉程度，占10分。

第一部分所涉及到的内容全部出自于《文学英语赏析》的教材，其中4，5，6单元是重点。

第二部分，阅读理解。

这部分主要为主观题，也就是用两，三句话简单地回答就段落理解所提出的问题，重点考察学生对所给文学作品的理解和分析能力及书面表达能力。

通常一套试题中有4个选段，分值一共50分。

段落阅读共占30分，相对独立的完整的短篇小说的阅读占20分，文学作品主要为课程主教材中所学的作品，这部分是重点考察的内容。

第三部分是写作，20分。

这部分的测试形式是命题写作，是根据试卷第二部分所读的或教程中所学的文学作品写摘要、评论或读后感受，续写结尾、换叙述角度改写等。

在写作部分的题目多半会与第二部分阅读理解中所出现的短篇小说有关。

二、复习应考资料及其使用

本学科本次考试有下列3种资料，可供学员复习应考考试用。

（一）中央电大下发的形成性考核作业册。

因为本门课程是中央电大本期新开设的，所以其下发的形成考核作业册对期末考试有一定的指向性，所以一定要认真用好。

形成性考核作业老师均作过评讲，请按老师平时所评讲的要求掌握。

（二）中央电大教学平台上的每单元自测练习

本期中央电大教学平台上共上挂了7个单元的自测练习，这7套练习一个是对形成性考核作业的补充，同时也是对考试内容的补充和强调，一定要引起重视。

（三）、中央电大下发的复习小册子---《文学英语赏析期末复习指导》。

中央电大下发的期末复习指导包括两个部分：

考核说明、考试样题。

第一部分要认识阅读，掌握要求。

第二部分要每个问题都要掌握，并弄清楚。
