怎样学习并通过《英语国家概况》的考试？
《英语国家概况》这本课程设置的本意是“为了使英语专业学生了解主要英语国家的地理、历史、经济、政治等方面的概况；了解主要英语国家的文化传统风俗习惯和社会生活以及其它有关情况，”从而让学生“不仅能扩大知识面，还能更好地提高外语交接能力。”然而，就广大自考生而言，他们把这门课列为英语专业自学考试著名的三大拦路虎之一。该门课内容多，涉及到六个国家的概况，,教材厚达538页，而且生词量也很大。因此，怎么复习和考试过关，成了他们最为头疼的问题之一。那么，怎样复习并通过《英语国家概况》的考试呢？
第一，一定量的词汇是学好《英语国家概况》的基础。英语专业是一个系统工程，在这个工程中，每一门课都相互依赖，相互促进。不学好《英语国家概况》，不了解英语国家的文化背景，我们的词汇量再大，听力再好，也无法与英语国家的人士进行自由交谈。比如说如果不了解Chistianity，当我们听到这句话“His
biggest enemy is Old
Adam.”时，我们就不知所云。学习《英语国家概况》也是一样。如果没有一定的词汇量作支撑，那么充满了Renaissance，humanism，puritanism，Enlightenment，Reformation，House
Representatives等词汇的《英语国家概况》对于考生来说无疑是天书，根本无法在短时间内吃透《英语国家概况》的内容并轻松通过考试。
第二，兴趣和毅力是学习和通过《英语国家概况》的前提。爱因斯坦说过：“兴趣是最好的老师”，学习《英语国家概况》也是如此。如果没有兴趣，考生们要掌握6个国家的政治、经济、地理、历史、文学等知识，无疑是牛不喝水强按头，即使勉强为之，也不会有毅力坚持下去，自然也不会成功。只有把学习《英语国家概况》作为了解西方社会文化的途径而不仅仅是为了考试而学习，才能产生兴趣和坚持的毅力，也才能在不经意间获得考试的通过。
第三，按照教学大纲进行复习使你事半功倍。《英语国家概况》内容虽多，教材虽厚，但自学大纲明文规定了命题原则，“本课程考试的命题，应根据本大纲所规定的各章学习要点和考核目标，确定考试范围和考核标准，不要扩大或缩小考试范围，也不要提高或降低考核标准。考试内容要覆盖到各个章节，并适当突出课程的重点内容，难易程度要适中。”因此，广大考生应该不要花费金钱和精力找所谓名师猜题上，而是研究大纲、精读教材。历年考试中，考生往往把教学和命题大纲搁在一边，错误地认为“老师又不从大纲中命题”，殊不知命题教师恰恰严格按照大纲精神和大纲规定来命题的，甚至有的题目及答案就是直接来自大纲。例如北京市一九九七年高等教育自学考试英语国家概况试题第一项单项选择题19题：_________is
the biggest and best －loved holiday in the United
A. Independence
Thanksgiving Day
C. Christmas
Day&&&&&&&&&&&&
D. New Year’s Day
就是来自教材大纲第二十二章美国的节假日（Holidays and
Festivals）中的第十二小节圣诞节Christmas
Day。在掌握教材大纲的主要知识点以后，考生还要自己学会扑捉敏感考点的能力。例如著名的美国的五大湖考生们可能都背会了，但如果遇到下面这样的考题，恐怕就很难能答对了：The
Great Lakes are the five lakes in the northest.They are all located
between Canada and the United States except————.要求考生填出Lake
Michigan（密执安湖）。这就要求考生在细读教材时自己学会扑捉敏感点。
第四，根据最近的考试新题型进行复习使你考试有的放矢。现在的《英语国家概况考试》考试题只有三个部分：1)选择题五十题，共50分；2)一句话回答十道题，共30分；3)解词四道题，共20分。这样的题型，应该说比我20多年前参加的考试题型容易多了。如果前面的五十分能拿到四十分，一句话回答部分只要拿到18分，解词即使只拿到五分，也能通过考试。选择题主要考地理位置、人物事件、年代顺序、作品名称等适宜作为选择考试的部分。例如2009年7月《英语国家概况》选择题6：.
______ is known as “the father of the British navy” as he founded a
strong fleet which first beat the Danes at sea.
Ethelred &&&B.
William　　C. Alfred
第二题的一句话简答主要考事件的原因、一个机构或文件包括的部分（通常不超过四部分，多了不会考）、事件发生的后果等，往往在教材中有明确的一句话表述。例如2009年7月的十道题都这么考试的：51.
What is the cause of the decline of the British Empire? 52. Why is
the English Civil War also called the Puritan Revolution? 54. Why
did the American Civil War break out? 56. Why is the board of
trustees which governs American colleges and universities composed
primarily of laymen? 这四道题考原因。53. What dose the British Parliament
consist of? 55. What are the two special powers of the Senate in
America? 60. How many political divisions are there in Australia?
What are they?这三道题考一个机构或条款包括哪些部分（内容）。58. What happened to the
French colony after the Seven Years’ War between Britain and
France?　　59. What happened after the English king was declared the
head of the Church of Ireland, replacing the Pope?
这两道题考试事件的后果。这些在教材中都能找到，例如第52题的答案在余志远编教材第56页:The English Cival War
is also called the Puritan Revolution because the King’s opponents
were mainly Puritans.第53题的答案在教材110页:Parliament consists of the
Sovereign, the House of Lords and the House of
Commons.第58题的答案在教材370页: After the Seven Years’War from 1753 to
1763,the French were forced to give up every inch of land in North
America and the Whole of Canada came under the British
rule.只要在阅读教材时注意这些标志，就能很好地得到这些分数。
