四、题型、题量、记分及参考答案时间一览表同等学力申请硕士学位人员英语水平考试的题

型、题量、记分及参考答题时间如下：

一、打好基础，攻克词汇大关

词汇是同等学力英语学习的基础，考生需要从现在开始积累词汇，但并不是要求考生将所有

词汇都要熟记。在记忆词汇的过程中，要避免盲目求新、求多，正确的做法是根据大纲要求

将英语词汇分为积极词汇和非积极词汇，在有限的时间内，才能真正记忆住词汇。

二、对待错题，理解并吃透

同等学力英语备考期间可以把练习中每道错题记下来，进行透彻的分析，把真正错误的原因

进行归类汇总，然后对知识点进行强加复习。才能熟悉掌握命题人的出题特点，也能把握住

自己的薄弱之处。

三、攻克阅读理解，从句子结构开始

阅读理解是同等学力英语考试中比较让人头疼的题型，环球卓越名师建议大家：熟练掌握各

种从句、插入语、非谓语形式等常考语法点，认认真真分析句子结构，练习快速分解长难句

的方法，这有助于理解阅读题当中的长难句，提高阅读理解做题速度和正确率。

四、掌握写作技巧，提高写作成绩

可以通过一些文章来增加同等学力英语写作方面的素材积累，在平时的复习过程中从熟悉文

章结构，选词造句，句型变换，修辞方法等方面掌握写作的技巧。

对于2020年的考生来说，如果能提前开始学习，正确掌握以上同等学力英语复习四大技巧并

合理的利用，那么，同等学力英语水平一定会得到提升。
