Content Analysis of English Reading Articles for Postgraduate Entrance Examination
In terms of style, the syllabus requires candidates to be able to read four types of articles smoothly, namely argumentative, explanatory, narrative and practical. However, most of the articles on reading comprehension in postgraduate entrance examination are expository or argumentative. These two kinds of articles should have different reading emphases and strategies.
In addition, in most cases, the sources of articles on real questions over the years are generally controlled within the last five years, that is to say, if you took the postgraduate entrance examination in 2007, the articles in 2007 will generally come from newspapers and magazines between 200 1 and 2006.
However, the source of real questions has changed in the past five years, usually from magazines in the past two years, or even one year. It can be seen that the timeliness of the article is becoming more and more obvious, so the scope of reading is much smaller.
Generally speaking, the number of words in English reading articles is controlled between 450 and 550, and the number of paragraphs is generally controlled between 3 and 6. Therefore, we can focus on reviewing and reading articles that match the previous words, paragraphs and years, thus greatly narrowing the scope of review.
