From this year's exam, we can draw the following characteristics, which also serve as some suggestions for future postgraduate students:
1, directly or indirectly examine the main idea of the article. Understanding the main idea of an article or paragraph is far more meaningful than answering the main question itself, because when answering other types of questions, the main idea of an article or paragraph is often involved. In this sense, regardless of whether an article has a theme or not, candidates should develop the habit of understanding its main idea, which is very helpful for fully understanding the article and answering questions correctly.
2. Fact details are the most important in reading comprehension, so we should strengthen skimming and searching. In order to obtain specific information (such as numerical questions and questions located by stem keywords), in order to find the answers to the detailed questions in the test paper. After reading the questions at the back of the article, we must establish a kind of consciousness. We only pay attention to the contents related to the questions, as long as we can answer the questions, and we don't have to know every detail. The basis of this reading method is that more than 60% of the questions in the postgraduate reading are detailed questions. When answering these questions, you can determine the answers as long as you find their sources in the original text, and most of them don't need to contact other contents in the article.
3. Strengthen the understanding of reasoning difficulties, analyze the reasons for right and wrong, and master the deductive principle.
4. Pay attention to vocabulary. It is absolutely impossible to read and recite the vocabulary outline, and the vocabulary did not reach the right amount during the exam. Read more articles containing long and difficult sentences, cultivate your ability to crack long and difficult sentences, get used to English expressions, and consciously remember them.
5、? Know the sound after practicing a thousand songs, and know the instrument after watching a thousand swords. ? Summarize the questions you have tested and be good at thinking from the perspective of the questioner. Imagine if you can connect with the proposer's ideas, then the proposer will definitely give you what you think, test what you expect, and then win a great victory in the postgraduate entrance examination English.
A detailed explanation of the new English questions for the postgraduate entrance examination in 2007
In 2007, the syllabus gave four alternative questions for the new questions, namely reading comprehension part B:
Question 1: Fill in the blanks:
Question 2: Sorting problem:
Question 3: Information matching problem:
Question 4: Summarize the general idea:
Of the four types of questions? Sorting problem? As a controversial topic, because of the design problem of the topic itself, candidates are either all right or all wrong, which will have a bad influence on the discrimination and reliability of the exam. And then what? Information matching questions? Ask the topic sentence to match the extended sentence, because we are just investigating? Consistent orientation? Principle, regardless of the principle of discourse cohesion, the difficulty coefficient is too low and the coverage is too small. Therefore, we speculated before the exam that it is only possible to examine two kinds of questions this year, namely, fill-in-the-blank reading and summarizing the general idea. Fill-in-the-blank reading questions are mature and difficult, which is very likely to appear. Because I took the exam for two years, the general question appeared as a multiple-choice question.
The difficulty in generalizing the general idea is that the subtitle is often a summary of the paragraph, rather than a simple repetition of the argument. In addition, the difficulty of this topic in IELTS test is that there are many interference items. It can be said that the more similar interference terms, the greater the difficulty coefficient of this topic. Therefore, on the basis of the outline sample questions, the Ministry of Education changed 6-choice 5 to 7-choice 5 to make up for the congenital deficiency of the difficulty coefficient of 6-choice 5 general questions. However, in spite of this, compared with the fill-in-the-blank reading in previous years, this question is still a test of scoring compared with other topics in that year. Candidates can usually finish in about 7 minutes, with at least 6-8 points.
The step of summarizing the general idea is to find out the words that appear more than twice in 6-7 subheadings, and if there are any, they are the main words of the full text. And five of the seven options in the exam question appear? Children? , plus the full name is? How can a parent help, so the article aims to discuss how parents can help their children.
Next, we carefully read the seven option subheadings and underline the keywords. Set a good example for your children. B. build your children? S Work Skills Develop children's work skills C. Set time limits for leisure activities D. Talk about the future regularly to discuss the future E. Help children develop their coping skills regularly. Strategies for cultivating problem-solving ability F. Help your children know themselves G. Cultivate your children? Sense of responsibility cultivates sense of responsibility.
Next, read the paragraphs, do the questions in the order of the paragraphs, look at a paragraph and choose a subtitle. Attention? Repeat the exact words? Auxiliary fast positioning use? Proximity substitution? ,? Synonymous explanation? The principle finally determines the subtitle.

You can start this process when they are 1 1 or 12. Review their emerging strengths and weaknesses with them regularly, and work together to overcome any weaknesses, such as difficulties in communication or collaboration. In addition, determine the types of interests they keep returning to, because these will provide clues to the career that suits them best.
This passage means that parents should help their children know themselves and let them foster their strengths and avoid their weaknesses in their future career choices. Scan the first and last keyword: found it? Help children discover their strengths and weaknesses regularly? (reviewing their emerging strengths and weaknesses), and? Determine your interests? (Identify your interests). According to? Synonymous explanation? Principle, which is to help children? Know yourself correctly? , which is in option f? Find out who they are. .

Children need a series of real role models? Not their clique members, pop stars and boastful athletes. Discuss regularly at the dinner table who your family knows and how they got to where they are today. Discuss the joys and disadvantages of your own career and encourage your children to form some ideas about their own future. When asked what they want to do, they should be discouraged from saying? I don't know. ? They can change their minds 200 times, but it is not good to have a vague view of the future.
This passage is about the infinite power of role models, and the best role models are people you are familiar with. Parents often talk about the growth process of acquaintances at the dinner table and share their success or failure in their work, which can encourage their children to make plans for the future. Children can want to do this today and that tomorrow, but they can't help but know what they want to do in the future.
This question is located according to keywords, which is easy to see? A role model? After that, I hurried to a. Set a good example for your children. Students think? Good example? Isn't it? A role model? Really? Here, we should pay attention to the taboo of the title, that is, simply locate it according to a recurring word or its synonym. Please note that positioning must be supported by the topic of the paragraph. In addition, think about it carefully: setting an example by example is singular a good example, which actually means that parents set an example by themselves, while a range of authentic role models in paragraph 42 is plural, which is a series of examples, so grammatically speaking, the interference item A can also be excluded.
After the first sentence failed to locate, the problem naturally turned to the second and third areas where argumentation sentences frequently appeared, namely the last sentence and the second sentence. Conventional and other keywords ... Discussion ... See the future in these two sentences, which just corresponds to the regular discussion of the future in option D. According to China's thinking habits, this topic is inevitably a bit unsatisfactory, and the example in the original text is not covered! But this is the idea of the subtitle proposition of IELTS test? A strategically located building, but not perfect.

Teachers are responsible for teaching children how to learn; Parents should be responsible for teaching them how to work. Assign responsibilities at home to ensure that the deadline for homework is completed on time. Encourage teenagers to take part-time jobs. Children need a lot of practice in delaying gratification and deploying effective organizational skills, such as managing time and setting priorities.
This passage is about: teachers preach and parents teach. Teachers teach children how to study and parents teach them how to work. Western education advocates children to work early and cultivate their working ability.
The tag and theme of this passage are very obvious and highly consistent with the options. Such as teaching them how to work ... skills are consistent with body shape ... job skills in option B.

Play video games to encourage instant content. Watching TV programs with pre-recorded laughter for hours will only teach children to process information in a passive way. At the same time, listening to the same monotonous concert for a long time through headphones encourages children to stay in their own world instead of pursuing other personal hobbies. All these activities will hinder the development of important communication and thinking skills, and make it difficult for children to cultivate the sustained attention they need for most jobs.
The main idea of this passage lies in the last sentence:? The above behavior is not conducive to the cultivation of communication and thinking ability, and has a negative impact on future career development. ? Scan the first two sentences. What do you mean? All these activities? Fingers? Video games? (Playing video games) And then what? Watch TV? (watching TV), replace the inclusive words according to the upper and lower meanings. What is in option C? Leisure activities? (recreational activities).

They should know how to deal with setbacks, pressures and feelings of inadequacy. They should also learn how to solve problems and conflicts, how to brainstorm and think critically. Discussion at home can help children practice doing these things and help them apply these skills to their daily lives.
This passage directly points out that children should learn to face adversity, handle disputes and solve problems. According to the treatment and solution, select option e for synonyms of solution. So-called? Coping strategies? Isn't coping strategy the ability to deal with problems?
Summing up and analyzing, we can see that although it became 5 out of 7 in 2007, the difficulty coefficient is still not big. Through the recursive relationship of original words, synonyms, hyponyms and synonymous explanations, students can do most of the questions calmly.
