Today's push is from the content summary of a preliminary exam preparation lecture by the tutor of the Beiding Arabic Postgraduate Entrance Examination. I hope the following will be helpful to you in preparing for the exam.
Every year, there will be a lot of people who sign up for the Arabic major of Beijing Foreign University, and the re-examination screening is generally based on a one-to-two ratio, for example, ten people will be recruited this year, and twenty people will enter the re-examination. Of course, it also needs to be combined with the registration situation of the year. For example, if you want to recruit 10 students this year, but if other departments are not full, you may actually recruit 12 students, if you are good enough, you don't have to worry too much.
The question type of the Arabic master's degree exam.
The first major course is the foundation of Arabic, which includes the following five topics: the first major question is 40 multiple-choice vocabulary and grammar. The second type of question is cloze in the blanks, which are mainly taken from the original text in the Arab countries. The third question is reading comprehension (two articles), which is mainly in the form of subjective questions and answers. The fourth question is a Chinese-Arabic translation, with a total of four long sentences, each of which is about three lines. The last question is a large 300-word essay.
The second major course is foreign language writing and translation, and the question type of this professional course has undergone great changes this year. Foreign language writing and translation only includes three main question types, the first is Chinese to Arabic, the second is summary writing, and the third is writing Chinese.
The question type of the Arabic Master's Degree Exam at Beijing Foreign University.
The first professional course is Arabic for the Master of Translation and Translation, which mainly examines the foundation of Arabic and is a comprehensive test of basic ability. It mainly consists of four major questions, the first of which is a multiple-choice question, with a total of 20 questions, including lexical, syntactic and vocabulary accumulation examination.
The second type of question is correcting mistakes, a total of ten questions, generally five sentences, and two errors in each sentence. The third is the reading question, which consists of multiple choice and short answer. The last question type is a 30-point essay. Subject 2 is the Fundamentals of Arabic Translation, which is a set of papers that are all translations of translated phrases and paragraphs.
Analysis of the question types of the Arabic Master's and Master's exams.
1. Grammar and vocabulary are more in multiple-choice questions. The vocabulary mainly includes synonym discrimination, same root word discrimination, etc. The examination of grammar prefers to examine the causal and predicative language, and the adverbial class, which is actually also called the accusative class. Special attention needs to be paid to the small grammatical knowledge points integrated in the accusative language, such as professional relational pronouns and emphasis, etc., and the correction of mistakes will also involve the examination of grammatical knowledge points.
2. Reading and gestalt classes are basically hollowed out to find suitable expressions, and there will be overview classes, character evaluation classes, knowledge development classes, etc.
3. Translation is the top priority of the review, and we need to make it clear that the previous question types will be about Sino-Arab relations, Sino-Arab historical exchanges, etc. However, after the reform of the question type, the question type is oriented to all languages, not only Arabic, so the content of the translation will be richer, more in line with the development of the times, more attention to China, the spread of Chinese voices, and the telling of Chinese stories. It is recommended that you also pay attention to some articles on political exchanges, such as China and the Middle East as the birthplace of human civilization, such as understanding the governance of contemporary China.
4. Finally, there is writing, and now for graduate examinations, it is more of a discussion. For example, ten birds in the forest, it is better to have one bird in the hand, which is presented in the form of a proverb. First of all, you need to read the proverbs, which are included in the second and third books of the new Arabic book, as well as the fourth book. This kind of exam question must be both positive and negative, you need to put forward a point of view first, and then discuss the positive and negative sides, of course, your point of view needs to be neutral, and finally deduce a conclusion. In the process of writing, you must pay attention to the sublimation and summary of the examples given, not just describe what you see, and sublimate with the content, so that the writing will get a better score.
Review suggestions and bibliography recommendations.
It is recommended that you make a review schedule, preferably from the winter vacation, combining macro and micro, that is, combining general and specific. For example, during the winter vacation from January to March, the second to fifth volumes of the New Arabic were reviewed. From March to May, all the topics have to be brushed up and so on. Some of them are specific plans that must be done every day, and some of the phased content are general macro content, so you must make such a plan for yourself.
About *** resources, read literature and learn Arabic this WeChat *** is something we can brush every day, Arabic bilingual intensive reading, Middle East Lookout, and CCTV's Arabic channel, etc., we can use *** to understand current affairs, don't be greedy but can't remember, you can read three or five hundred words a day. You can read the Chinese version first, and then read the Arabic version, and then read the Arabic version on the basis of Chinese understanding, and the impression will be more profound.
As for the bibliography, Books 3 to 6 of the New Arabic must be consolidated and mastered, especially the exercises at the back, which will be of great help to our exams. Then there is a series of tutorials to understand contemporary China, and the more recommended ones are the reading and writing tutorials and the Chinese-Arabic translation tutorials. One is for undergraduates, the other is for graduate students, and I suggest you look directly at graduate students.
Finally, Chinese keywords, about Chinese keywords is to catch the control. Students who take the master's degree exam are recommended to brush it once every month and again every other month, and the scoring rate will be very high. It is also necessary to pay more attention to the essay topics of English majors 4 and 8, and pay more attention to contemporary social culture, national culture and national cultural phenomena in daily life, and have their own thoughts and ideas. In this way, you will be able to form your thoughts in the usual process and write in the process of the exam.
I would like to recommend some Arabic review materials and the postgraduate examination experience stickers for students majoring in Arabic at Beiding, hoping to help you achieve your postgraduate entrance examination goals efficiently on the way to exam preparation.
