It started with the publication of Washington Irving’s The Sketch Book and ended with Whitman’s Leaves of Grass. 2.The American Renaissance or New England Renaissance is a period of the great flowering of American literature， from the i830s roughly until the end of the American Civil War. It came of age as an expression of a national spirit. One of the most important influences in the period was that of the Transcendentalists， including Ralph Waldo Emerson， Henry David Thoreau. The Transcendentalists contributed to the founding of a new national culture based on native elements. Apart from the Transcendentalists， there emerged during this period great imaginative writers ——Nathaniel Hawthorne， Herman Melville， and Walt Whitman——whose novels and poetry left a permanent imprint on American literature. 3.Its social historical and cultural background The development of the American society nurtured "the literature of a great nation." America was flourishing into a politically， economically and culturally independent country. Historically， it was the time of westward expansion in America economically， the whole nation was experiencing an industrial transformation. Politically， democracy and equa1ity became the ideal of the new nation， and the two-party system came into being. Worthy of mention is the literary and cultural life of the country. With the founding of the American Independent Government， the nation felt an urge to have its own literary expression， to make known its new experience that other nations did not have： the early Puritan settlement， the confrontation with the Indians， the frontiersmen''''''''s life， and the wild west. Besides， the nation’s literary milieu was ready for the Romantic movement as we11. Thus， with a strong sense of optimism， a spectacular outburst of romantic feeling was brought about in the first ha1f of the 19th century. 4.Major writers of this period There emerged a great host of men of letters during this period， among whom the better-known are poets such as Philip Freneau， William Cullen Bryant， Henry Wordsworth Long Fellow， James Russel Lowell， John Greenleaf Whitter， Edgar Ellen Poe， and， especially， Walt Whitman， whose Leaves Of Grass established him as the most popular American poet of the 19th century. The fiction of the American Romantic period is an original and diverse body of work. It ranges from the comic fables of Washington Irving to the The Gothic tales of Edgar Allen Poe， from the frontier adventures of James Fenimore Cooper to the narrative quests of Herman Melville， from the psycho1ogical romances of Nathaniel Hawthorne to the social realism of Rebecca Harding Davis. （二）领会内容 1.The impact of European Romanticism on American Romanticism Foreign literary masters， especially the English counterparts exerted a stimulating impact on the writers of the new world. Born of one common cultural heritage， the American writers shared some common features with the English Romanticists. They revolted against the literary forms and ideas of the period of classicism by developing some relatively new forms of fiction or poetry. （1） They put emphasis upon the imaginative and emotional qualities of literature， which included a liking for the picturesque， the exotic， the sensuous， the sensational， and the supernatural. （2） The Americans also placed an increasing emphasis on the free expression of emotions and disp1ayed an increasing attention to the psychic states of their characters. Heroes and heroines exhibited extremes of sensitivity and excitement. （3） The strong tendency to exalt the individual and the common man was almost a national religion in America. Writers like Freneau， Bryant， and Cooper showed a great interest in external nature in their respective works. （4） The literary use of the more colorfu1 aspects of the past was also to be found in Irving’s effort to exploit the legends of the Hudson River region， and in Cooper’s long series of historical tales. （5） In short， American Romanticism is， in a certain way， derivative. 2.The unique characteristics of American Romanticism Although greatly influenced by their English counterparts， the American romantic writers revealed unique characteristics of their own in their works and they grew on the native lands. For examp1e，（1） the American national experience of "pioneering into the west" proved to be a rich source of material for American writers to draw upon. They celebrated America''''''''s landscape with its virgin forests， meadows， groves， endless prairies， streams， and vast oceans. The wilderness came to function almost as a dramatic character that symbolized moral 1aw. （2）The desire for an escape from society and a return to nature became a permanent convention of American literature. Such a desire is particularly evident in Cooper’s Leather Stocking Tales， in Thoreau''''''''s Walden and， later， in Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. （3） With the growth of American national consciousness， American character types speaking local dialects appeared in poetry and fiction with increasing frequency. （4） Then the American Puritanism as a cultural heritage exerted great influences over American moral values and American Romanticism. One of the manifestations is the fact that American romantic writers tended more to moralize than their English and European counterparts. （5） Besides， a preoccupation with the Calvinistic view of origina1 sin and the mystery of evil marked the works of Hawthorne， Melville and a host of lesser writers. （三）应用内容 1. The American Puritanism and its great influence over American moral values， as is shown in American romantic writings. （1） American Puritanism Puritanism is the practices and beliefs of the Puritans. （The Puritans were originally members of a division of the Protestant Church， who came into existence in the reigns Queen Elizabeth and King James Ⅰ。The first settlers who became the founding fathers of the American nation were quite a few of them Puritans. They came to America out of various reasons， but it should be remembered that they were a group of serious， religious people， advocating highly religious and moral principles. As the word itself hints， Puritans wanted to purify their religious beliefs and practices. They felt that the Church of England was too close to the Church of Rome in doctrine form of worship， and organization of authority.） The American Puritans， like their brothers back in England， were idealists， believing that the church should be restored to complete "purity". They accepted the doctrine of predestination， original sin and total depravity， and limited atonement through a special infusion of grace from God. But in the grim struggle for survival that followed immediately after their arrival in America， they became more and more practical， as indeed they had to be. Puritans were noted for a spirit of moral and religious earnestness that determinated their whole way of life. Puritans'''''''' lives were extremely disciplined and hard. They drove out of their settlements all those opinions that seemed dangerous to them， and history has criticized their actions. Yet in the persecution of what they considered error， the Puritans were no worse than many other movements in history. As a culture heritage， Puritanism did have a profound influence on the early American mind and American values. American Puritanism also had a conspicuously noticeable and an enduring influence on American literature. It had become， to some extent， so much a state of mind， so much a part of the national cultural atmosphere， rather than a set of tenets. （2） One of the manifestations is the fact that American romantic writers tended more to moralize than their English and European counterparts. Besides， a preoccupation with the Calvinistic view of origina1 sin and the mystery of evil marked the works of Hawthorne， Melville and a host of lesser writers. 2. New England Transcendentalism New England Transcendentalism is the mot clearly defined Romantic literary movement in this period. It was started in the area around Concord， Mass. by a group of intellectual and the literary men of the United States such as Emerson， Henry David Thoreau who were members of an informal club， i. e. the Transcendental Club in New England in the l830s. The transcendentalists reacted against the cold， rigid rationalism of Unitarianism in Boston. They adhered to an idealistic system of thought based on a belief in the essential unity of all creation ， the innate goodness of man， and the supremacy of insight over logic and experience for the revelation of the deepest truths. The writings of the transcendentalists prepared the ground of their contemporaries such as Walt Whitman， Herman Melville， and Nathaniel Hawthorne. The main issues involved in the debate were generally philosophical， concerning nature， man and the universe. Basically， Transcendentalism has been defined philosophical1y as "the recognition in man of the capacity of knowing truth intuitively， or of attaining knowledge transcending the reach of the senses." Emerson once proclaimed in a speech， "Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind." Other concepts that accompanied Transcendentalism inc1ude the idea that nature is ennobling and the idea that the individual is divine and， therefore， self-re1iant. 3. American Romanticists differed in their understanding of human nature. To the transcendentalists such as Emerson and Thoreau， man is divine in nature and therefore forever perfectible； but to Hawthorne and Melville， everybody is potentially a sinner， and great moral courage is therefore indispensab1e for the improvement of human nature， as is shown in Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter.
你好，同学！你提到的三门课目具体的名称应该是“英语翻译、英美文学选读、外刊经贸知识选读”吧，而且，其分别对应的自考书名为《英汉翻译教程》（庄绎传/主编）、《英美文学选读》（张伯香/主编）、《外刊经贸知识选读》（史天陆/主编）。我建议你到当地的书店购买上述三门科目的“天一自考通”（就是里面赠小册子的），三个科目外观如下： 你买书的时候要留意买最新版本的（其实书店老板也会提醒你的），最新出版的里面除了五套冲刺模拟试题及两套考前压轴试卷，它往往还含有最近三年的对应科目的试题及详细答案，这样的话，你不仅对题目试题的结构有了解，而且还可以逐渐掌握复习的重点，对了，随带的小册子就在平时休息的时候随意瞄几眼就OK了。如果你已经想好利用自己两个月的时间准备这三门科目，那我得提醒你一点——一定一定不要“三天打鱼两天晒网”！！既然时间有限，朋友你就拼一次吧！我建议你先抽三个星期的时间把《英汉翻译教程》（庄绎传/主编）、《英美文学选读》（张伯香/主编）、《外刊经贸知识选读》（史天陆/主编）总体浏览一遍，看不了也要坚持！时间可不会等你啊！然后，以《自考通》为重点做练习，不大明白的看答案找课本。当然，压力不可过大，具体的后期练习可能很枯燥，but you should know first ——“No pay no gain”,“Practice makes perfect！”成不成功，恰如自考通温馨提示的那样——充满自信+全力以赴+天一自考用书=一次过关！ 回答仓促，希望对你有所帮助！真心祝你成功，朋友!相信自己！！呵呵
哈哈,我考过.一开始头痛,现在是喜欢.和上外的一位学生聊过这本教科书,他觉得最大的收获是里面修饰作者文采的形容词很有使用性.我的外教老师说这本书的难度是属于"TOP"了.所以,如果真的想把英语学好,看熟这本书是绝对有意义的!书里的节选文章中,英国文艺复兴的几篇诗歌有点难,因为有很多的古英语单词,现在很多已经不用了,都成了废词,但还是要求能看懂大致意思的,但好在量不大(和现代英语生词比起来),所以要坚持看完哦.我有一些学习方法,是专门对付考试的,但如果是抱着提高自身的文学修养去看这本书,我建议最好花上整整一年的时间去好好琢磨一下精选文章以及书中的精彩点评,而不是很功利去背诵:1.英美文学中有48位作者和他们将近100篇选读,你要把这48位作者和这些选读作品,一一对号,识记一下,这是最基本的 2.概括作者的写作手法和写作风格,你可以先独立地去认识每一位作家的特点,但不要忘记要总结,哪些作家的风格相似,但区别又在哪里?(历年考卷中都出现过这种题型,而且分值都很大) 3.每一位作者的代表作品的主题,主人公的名字. 4.每一段选读前都有一段小字是简述故事或总结概要的,要熟记(去年的考试里就有考过) 5.选读文章的最后都或多或少有一些文字的注释,最好熟悉一下,因为往年的考题中也有涉及. 6.不要去做所谓的模拟考卷,根本就没有用!因为考试根本就不会出模拟里题.
怎么考是什么意思?具体些!
口译与听力是，有听力部分跟口译部分的，短语，句子，段落的翻译，一般很简单的，听力就是一般的听力吧，日语的话，看书都没问题的，口语应该也简单，我没加考的 这都学校出题的，问问以前考过的吧，有培训的，肯定会给你题 不是吧，英美文学的原版教材是英文，中文是辅导熟吧，英美文学公认为是最难过的《高级英语阅读教程》，《高级英语》是不一样的，后者有两本书，《高级英语阅读教程》应该阅读为主吧，词汇量大一点应该就没问题了
1. 英语专业考试科目一般包括英语听力、阅读、写作和翻译等模块。2. 这些科目的设置主要是为了测验考生的英语水平，包括听说读写等方面。每个模块都会有不同的内容和题型，例如听力中可能涉及到短文听力、长篇听力、听力填空等题型。3. 此外，四川自考英语专业考试还可能出现英美文学、语言学、翻译理论等相关知识的题目，需要考生有一定的学科知识储备。
四川自考英语专业的考试科目有：英语语言基础、英语语法、英语听力、英语阅读、英语写作、英汉互译及英语写作。这些科目都是重要的重点考试内容，考生需要准备得充分才能取得高分。
自考英语本科题型各个击破之英语知识运用回顾历年考研真题，英语知识运用（即我们常说的完形填空）中的题目数量已经从10个增至20个，但分值仍然保持为10分。换句话说，此类题型的考查的点多了，但对应的分数却少了。正因如此，很多考生对完形并未给予应有的重视。然而，就笔者而言，英语知识运用相对其他题型更容易得高分。原因如下：1.文章比传统阅读短一些，内容更紧凑，更便于把握文章主旨和大意。2.用词相比传统阅读而言更基础，句式结构也更清楚，不会出现过多的长难句。3.上下文衔接较密切，更容易根据上下文推出答案。根据历年真题来看，英语知识运用（完形填空）主要有三大考点，分别为：词汇、语法结构及上下文的逻辑关系。词汇方面的考查也可以分为三类：a. 近义（形）词辨析。顾名思义，即是对四个在意思上或拼写上比较相近的词汇进行考查。b. 高级词汇考查。其实也就是考查考生的词汇量；这一类的词汇考查，四个选项通常都比较长，且其中有一至两个是考生不太熟悉的大纲内的词汇。c. 固定搭配。这一类通常是考查介词或动副词搭配。应对措施：对于词汇这一类的考题，我们应该在平时的词汇复习当中做好准备。大纲要求的5500个单词务必都要熟悉，对于那些形近、义近的词汇要进行总结与辨析，同时，不仅仅要对单个词汇的意思进行记忆，还有对该词汇的一些固定搭配和常用结构进行熟悉、了解甚至记忆。语法结构方面主要是考查从句的引导词，有时也会对常用句型进行考查。常考的引导词有which，that，as，than，while，when，before，until，unless等。应对措施：在平时的语法复习当中注意从句的用法，尤其是引导词的用法及使用情况。一些固定的、常用的句型也务必要掌握，如强调句、倒装等。上下文的逻辑方面主要是考查考生对文章的理解和把控能力。这一类的题型要求考生不仅仅要读懂空格所在的句子的意思，同时还有理解上句或下句的意思，有时需要对前一段或下一段，甚至是整篇文章的意思进行理解。应对措施：要解答这一类题型，我们一定要注意遵循“瞻前顾后”的原则，根据上下文的相关线索，进行作答。这些线索通常有：词汇的褒贬义（可以反映作者的态度）、连词（and，but，yet等）、短语及句意（判断两句之间的关系，或转折、或因果等）。从上面的论述可以看出，英语知识运用这一题型实际上是对考生综合能力的考查。因此，在考研复习当中，为了更有效、更快地攻克这类题型，建议广大考生可以在基础复习的后期（即熟悉并掌握了一定考研词汇和语法之后）进行练习。最后希望各位考生能够攻克考研英语的开门题型——英语知识运用！2011年考研报名时间2011年考研备战时间表

哈哈,我考过.一开始头痛,现在是喜欢.和上外的一位学生聊过这本教科书,他觉得最大的收获是里面修饰作者文采的形容词很有使用性.我的外教老师说这本书的难度是属于"TOP"了.所以,如果真的想把英语学好,看熟这本书是绝对有意义的! 书里的节选文章中,英国文艺复兴的几篇诗歌有点难,因为有很多的古英语单词,现在很多已经不用了,都成了废词,但还是要求能看懂大致意思的,但好在量不大(和现代英语生词比起来),所以要坚持看完哦.我有一些学习方法,是专门对付考试的,但如果是抱着提高自身的文学修养去看这本书,我建议最好花上整整一年的时间去好好琢磨一下精选文章以及书中的精彩点评,而不是很功利去背诵: 1.英美文学中有48位作者和他们将近100篇选读,你要把这48位作者和这些选读作品,一一对号,识记一下,这是最基本的 2.概括作者的写作手法和写作风格,你可以先独立地去认识每一位作家的特点,但不要忘记要总结,哪些作家的风格相似,但区别又在哪里?(历年考卷中都出现过这种题型,而且分值都很大) 3.每一位作者的代表作品的主题,主人公的名字. 4.每一段选读前都有一段小字是简述故事或总结概要的,要熟记(去年的考试里就有考过) 5.选读文章的最后都或多或少有一些文字的注释,最好熟悉一下,因为往年的考题中也有涉及. 6.不要去做所谓的模拟考卷,根本就没有用!因为考试根本就不会出模拟里题.
自考主要是以书为主的，所以书很重要。
自学考试英语专业本科段的考试科目很全面 包括文学选读很多知识 对考生的阅读和理解能力都有很大的帮助 当然 英语还是要说的好 用的好 英语专业本科 你可以直接到所在城市的自考办报名考试 你已经是大专毕业学生了 就有资格参加自考本科了 准备好你的照片和身份证及学历证书到自考办咨询就可以 英语专业本科段：高级英语 英语翻译 口译与听力 英语写作 英美文学选 现代语言学 英语词汇学 英语语法 还有二外和两个政治课：毛概和马政 最后是毕业论文 做好心里准备 英语可不是说着玩那么简单的 我最头疼的是语法和写作 关于其他的专业课程只要有一本读好了 其他的也就容易了 参考资料：

是有点难，我第一次考了50多分，伤心啊(但我只看了1个多月)．但方法好的话，还是可以拿到不错的分数的．经过我近一年的复习，发现一些不错的方法，你就参考一下吧． 1.英美文学中有48位作者和他们将近100篇选读,你要把这48位作者和这些选读作品,一一对号,识记一下,这是最基本的 2.概括作者的写作手法和写作风格,你可以先独立地去认识每一位作家的特点,但不要忘记要总结,哪些作家的风格相似,但区别又在哪里?(历年考卷中都出现过这种题型,而且分值都很大) 3.每一位作者的代表作品的主题,主人公的名字. 4.每一段选读前都有一段小字是简述故事或总结概要的,要熟记(去年的考试里就有考过) 5.选读文章的最后都或多或少有一些文字的注释,最好熟悉一下,因为往年的考题中也有涉及. 6.不要去做所谓的模拟考卷,根本就没有用!因为考试根本就不会出模拟里题.
如果时间允许建议你自己把内容先做个笔记整理一下，如果来不及的话，还是多做题来加深印象吧，那种辅导练习，或者是历年考题，都可以的，多做题自然就知道什么是重点了，祝你好运！
