2005-前言前言考研英语高分必杀考研和高考一样，都是分数决定命运，也都是人生中关系到前途和命运的、仅有的几次实现人生蓬勃大发展的机遇之一。显然，如能考出高分，就能进入名校、交往到一群4人，进入粔英阶层和主流社会从而成为“非富即贵”的人的概率就大大提升；而一旦分数平而，则考研失败：须知上一年共201万人踌躇满志去考研，150多万人洛榜！每10个人中就有7个落榜啊！也就是说，只要考不出高分，就只能重在参与，只能沦为百万考研大军中的灰！所以，必须谋求高分，而不是名出和大多数考牛十样的分数！否则，就只能在这史上最就巠与次业将茫人芸众再拼；或是卷土重来，再考一年，可你有多少个一年可以重来？而月晚考上一年就意味行晚工作一年一晚工作一年就意味着直接经济损失4万方右（晚工作一年，按每个月收入 到 元算，12个月就是3.6万到4.8万）。伤刁、起啊！所以必须一次就考出高分，甩开众多对手，金榜题名！可我们了很多一疯狂背单词、大址做阅读一l丑［最后的分数大多数都只是40多、50多、60多这种毫无竞争力的分数！这种分数要么考不卜:'要么只能考上要求低的院校或业，将来毕业根本没前。我亲历了中国考研发展的十几年，这些年我在考研培训第一线进行了大扯教学实践，我一直什用牛命讲课、备课，帮助一级又一级考牛实现了考高分进名校的梦想。通过总结每年考了高分、进入名校的数万考研学员的成功经验，结合我在辅导高端VIP保过班过程中的教学方法，我发现了考研英语复习的致命误区高分。差，最后写出来的作文还是多么差。首先，背单词书会使你背了忘、忘了背、又背又忘、还背还忘、再背再忘！其次，等到把单词书背了ND写作文时这些单词根本就想不到用，能用上的词几乎全是中学的基本单词！背单词和写完形填空中遇到这些单词时，虽感觉每个选项中的单词都在词汇书上见过，但就是做不出精确辨析，仍然选不对，有时甚至靠胡蒙、乱碰和瞎猜！背单词和背单词必须和做题结合起来！那应该怎样科学背单词呢？在精读课文的过程中背，在做题的过程中背！想想当年高考英语单词就是在精读课文和大量做题的过程中背的，所以高中背单词属千应试教学法！我们千万记背单词的初衷，就是为了做题啊！只有用这种方法背单词，一旦背过，做题时才能用上！语法知识一定要在精读课文和大量做题的过程中学会、学好、学熟练，将来到了阅读中才能真正学会分析句子、分析段；到了写作时才能写出语法正确的句子！的本质是粗放型的英语复习模式，是自欺欺人、自我安慰，真正的做题水平根次，在第N治病要治根。阅读提分难的根源就在于难词、复杂句以及旬子之间的逻辑关系，而解决这些问题，只能靠精读课文！精读课文是应试教学法的重要组成部分！精读课文是指像高中英语老师讲课那样对一篇篇的课文逐句分析透，深度挖掘其中的考点知识点，并横向扩展，然后对精读过的课文用心多重复。在精读课文的过程中，单词量（单词的数量和质量）也提高了，旬子分析能力也提高了，段内句子间关系的分析能力也提高了！这就是打造强大英语基础的最重要办法！精读的课文缺乏针对性，或缺乏详尽解析，会导致精读之后，考研英语＠少选外报题读可缺足尽解也很难提高考研英语水平，即使是抱着字典边查边读，还是感觉“云里雾里”;＠还有不少同学选了文学类读物（如小说类的读物）或通俗类的读物（如讲故事类的读物），殊不知这类文章和考研英语试卷上的文章根本就不是一种文章！考研试卷上的文章全都是自然科学、社会科学和人文科学等专业性较强的学术类文章。要有极为详尽的解析。否则时是很难达到“精”这个要求的！二、考研英语复习的高 和具体操 必须远离粗放型的英语复习模式，精确、针对性强地去按应试教学法复内容，不用费时低效的方法。考研，方法第一重要，勤奋第二重要。除了历史是一面镜子。大学期间大家的做题能力普遍比当年高考时弱很多，为什么呢？试问：大学里这两三年做的英语题的数星能不能赶十我们高三时两三个月做的英语题的数员？！考研英语要打好基础，彻底过词汇、语法和逻辑思维关，以练出“语感”，就必须靠精读课文。考研英语试卷由阅读理解、写作和完形三大部分构成，所以一定要有针具体操作起来，需要先用《考研大趋势》去精读课文、精研，以彻底掌握考研英语常考的词、词组、句型、逻辑思维以及每种题型的思路规律，用“格式化“你的大脑，全面架构你的考研英语；而后大量做各种题，以提高做题速度和大脑对陌生题的适应能力和稳定性。《考研大趋势》这套书是完全应试教学法、以做题猛为日标的经典，是全因30多个考研一线城市高端IP保过研的。其对考研英语历年进行了多角度全方位次的研究，彻底分析透了考研英语常考的考点、知识点以及思路规律，用心学之，必获高分！应试教学横扫一切！要成功，必须首先保证学正确的东西，然后再保证正确地学这些东西。的资料、科学的方法，加上你的全力用心去学，再加上2005年入学统一考试英语试Section
