新概念與國(guó)外考試的關(guān)系：融會(huì)貫通新概念 托福雅思無極限

《新概念英語(yǔ)》(以下簡(jiǎn)稱"新概念")自1967年誕生之日起，便以其編排的科學(xué)性和系統(tǒng)性、知識(shí)的廣博性和實(shí)用性、哲理的縝密性和嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)性風(fēng)靡世界，在英語(yǔ)教學(xué)領(lǐng)域譜寫了神話般的傳奇。這是一套系列叢書，共分四冊(cè)，程度由淺入深，內(nèi)容包羅萬象。其中一、二冊(cè)側(cè)重語(yǔ)音、口語(yǔ)、簡(jiǎn)單語(yǔ)法、句型及小短文等內(nèi)容，三、四冊(cè)則突出了閱讀和寫作這兩大技能的培養(yǎng)。新東方自1999年推出"新概念"培訓(xùn)課程以來，已累計(jì)培訓(xùn)學(xué)員上百萬人次，單個(gè)課堂學(xué)員人數(shù)達(dá)5百之多，該課程已成為新東方的品牌英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)課程。

隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)能力的增強(qiáng)和全球化進(jìn)程的加速，我國(guó)國(guó)民在思維觀念上更加國(guó)際化，主要體現(xiàn)在對(duì)子女的培養(yǎng)方面。越來越多的家長(zhǎng)希望子女出國(guó)留學(xué)，感受西方先進(jìn)的教育理念和教學(xué)氛圍。于是，針對(duì)出國(guó)留學(xué)的語(yǔ)言測(cè)試也就被更多的家長(zhǎng)和學(xué)生所熟悉，如SAT、托福、雅思，GRE等，而且變得愈加火爆異常。為了順應(yīng)這一時(shí)代潮流，新東方在"新概念"的課程設(shè)置、教學(xué)方法、教學(xué)內(nèi)容等方面也銳意改革、大膽創(chuàng)新，將本屬于基礎(chǔ)英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)的"新概念"與考試類課程進(jìn)行"嫁接移植"，既保留了知識(shí)的傳統(tǒng)優(yōu)點(diǎn)，又吸收了考試的核心精髓，有機(jī)結(jié)合，相得益彰，既得到了學(xué)員的高度評(píng)價(jià)，也收到了良好的經(jīng)濟(jì)效益，同時(shí)也使這本經(jīng)典教材煥發(fā)了"第二春"。下面我就三方面談?wù)?quot;新概念"與國(guó)外考試的關(guān)系。由于"新概念"的一、二冊(cè)相對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單明了，三、四冊(cè)比較精深繁雜，與考試更為緊密;而國(guó)外考試中關(guān)注和考生最多的是托福和雅思這兩種語(yǔ)言測(cè)試，我的主題內(nèi)容和實(shí)例舉證也基本圍繞三、四冊(cè)和托福、雅思。

一、文章題材

"你在考場(chǎng)上做閱讀時(shí)最害怕遇到的情況是什么?"相信有很多考生在面對(duì)這個(gè)問題的時(shí)候會(huì)下意識(shí)地回答："不認(rèn)識(shí)的單詞。" 誠(chéng)然，單詞是很多同學(xué)在學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)過程中的攔路虎。但是大家都是身經(jīng)百考的人了，其實(shí)心里早已清楚，在大型考試中難免會(huì)遇到自己不認(rèn)識(shí)單詞，因此早早做好心理準(zhǔn)備。真正遇到這種情況的時(shí)候也能從容應(yīng)對(duì)-猜單詞，根據(jù)上下文分析，或者直接跳過去。此外，少數(shù)不認(rèn)識(shí)的單詞可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致一兩個(gè)錯(cuò)題，但是并不會(huì)影響全局。那讓我換一個(gè)具體的問題，"大家有沒有遇到過這種情況，在單詞并不太難的情況下，閱讀一篇文章以后，居然產(chǎn)生了不知所云的感覺?"

相信很多同學(xué)是有過類似經(jīng)歷的，而且不得不承認(rèn)，這種情況是影響全局的-甚至可能導(dǎo)致無法解答文章后面的所有題目。尤其是在托福、雅思的考試中這種情況更為普遍。這兩門考試的試卷中會(huì)出現(xiàn)涉及各個(gè)領(lǐng)域知識(shí)的文章-天文、地理、考古、探險(xiǎn)、生物、醫(yī)學(xué)等等，不一而足。從而也就意味著，我們會(huì)在考場(chǎng)上高度緊張的情緒下突然見到我們完全陌生的領(lǐng)域的話題。這對(duì)我們的心理素質(zhì)和實(shí)際英語(yǔ)能力的沖擊是相當(dāng)大的。尤其是某些基礎(chǔ)較為薄弱的考生，會(huì)立刻慌了手腳-由于常年接受傳統(tǒng)教育，我們的知識(shí)面是相當(dāng)偏狹的。當(dāng)我們面對(duì)"butterfly effect"這樣一個(gè)短語(yǔ)時(shí)，即使我們知道"butterfly"是"蝴蝶"，"effect"是"效應(yīng)"，我們也未必知道什么是"蝴蝶效應(yīng)"。如果考題直擊我們知識(shí)體系中的"盲點(diǎn)"，我們很難不驚慌意亂，而慌亂的結(jié)果就是巨大的心理壓力及慘痛的答題水平。

更為糟糕的是，我們根本不可能預(yù)測(cè)在考試中會(huì)出現(xiàn)什么樣的知識(shí)點(diǎn)。僅就2009年上半年的托?？荚噧?nèi)容而言，在聽力和閱讀中涉及的重要內(nèi)容至少包括：恐龍、恒溫動(dòng)物、古代畜牧業(yè)、達(dá)爾文進(jìn)化論、心理學(xué)知識(shí)、古代軍隊(duì)及戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)對(duì)歐洲形成的影響、人的大腦和記憶認(rèn)知問題、植物學(xué)、社會(huì)學(xué)、天文學(xué)(包括哈勃望遠(yuǎn)鏡，隕石，外星生命及星系形成)、照相技術(shù)發(fā)展史、股份制等等。總體來說，這些話題對(duì)我們而言是相當(dāng)陌生的。而在緊促的考試過程中，如果猛地聽到或者看到完全陌生的話題，這本來對(duì)我們的實(shí)力和心理就是一種巨大的挑戰(zhàn)。

但是只要瀏覽一下"新概念"的課文目錄，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，其文章題材相當(dāng)廣泛，包括歷史、哲學(xué)、美學(xué)、教育等人文科學(xué)的知識(shí)以及環(huán)保、石油開采、外太空探索、昆蟲、鳥類、動(dòng)物等自然科學(xué)的內(nèi)容，簡(jiǎn)直可以稱為百科全書。這與托福、雅思的文章題材不謀而合。比如托福OG (Official Guide) 里選取的文章有："石油的形成"、"候鳥的遷徙"、"火星上是否有生命"、"兒童的早期教育"等;雅思劍橋全真試題里選取的文章有："珍惜每一滴水"、"保護(hù)熱帶雨林"、"避免雷擊的方法"等。

二、文章體裁

"新概念"的文章體裁大致有三類：記敘文、說明文和議論文。其中一、二冊(cè)中記敘文為主體，三、四冊(cè)中說明文和議論文占據(jù)多數(shù)，尤以前者份額較大。而托福、雅思選取的文章幾乎都是說明文，所以掌握"新概念"對(duì)于國(guó)外考試的體裁類型會(huì)有更深刻的了解。比如，漢語(yǔ)行文的一般模式是：運(yùn)用事例先做鋪墊，通過層層推理和步步深入，最后呈現(xiàn)觀點(diǎn)和主旨，這就是通常意義上的分總法;而歐美的人思維方式恰恰相反，作者一般會(huì)開宗明義，將觀點(diǎn)置于文章起首部分，而后輔以事例佐證，這種方式被稱為總分法，這種方法正是托福、雅思考試文章的主導(dǎo)類型。試看"新概念"三冊(cè)第四課"The Double Life of Alfred Bloggs"。全文的主題句(topic sentence)出現(xiàn)在第一段中："Such is human nature，that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers."(許多人情愿放棄較高的薪水以換取做白領(lǐng)工人的榮耀，這是人之本性。)而第二段是事例講解，圍繞主人公Alfred Bloggs的經(jīng)歷進(jìn)一步闡明前述觀點(diǎn)。再看三冊(cè)47課"Too high a price ?"全文共分三段，每段的起首句即是本段的主題句。第一段："Pollution is the price we pay for an over-populated and over-industrialized planet."(污染就是我們?yōu)檫@個(gè)人口過密、過度工業(yè)化星球所付出的代價(jià)。)第二段："Rubbish,however,is only part of the problem of polluting our planet."(然而，垃圾只是我們這個(gè)星球污染問題的一個(gè)方面。)第三段："However,there is an even more insidious kind of pollution that particularly affects urban areas and invades our daily lives, and that is noise."(但是，還有一種更加有害的污染，尤其會(huì)影響城鎮(zhèn)地區(qū)，干擾我們的日常生活，那就是噪音。)

三、授課方法

在課堂上，時(shí)常有同學(xué)問我：老師，我現(xiàn)在準(zhǔn)備國(guó)外考試，不知道學(xué)習(xí)新概念是不是對(duì)口。在解答這個(gè)問題之前，我們先思考這樣一個(gè)問題：國(guó)外考試考的是什么呢?讓我們以托?？荚嚍槔?。托?？荚嚨墓俜浇榻B是這樣的：托福考試從聽、說、讀、寫四個(gè)方面綜合考量考生的大學(xué)課堂英語(yǔ)能力。它是全球范圍最廣泛采用的英語(yǔ)水平測(cè)試，被130個(gè)國(guó)家、逾8,500所大學(xué)和其它機(jī)構(gòu)所接受，作為許可入學(xué)的評(píng)估標(biāo)準(zhǔn)-其中包括幾乎美國(guó)、英國(guó)、加拿大和澳大利亞的所有大學(xué)院校。從以上介紹中我們不難看出。國(guó)外考試是以移民或去國(guó)外生活溝通交流為目的、實(shí)用性很強(qiáng)的考試。也就是說，這類考試主要考察的是同學(xué)們的英語(yǔ)使用能力。其題目的設(shè)置都不是以考試為最終目的，而是以應(yīng)用操作、實(shí)用性為考察目的。其實(shí)無論是雅思、托福、GRE，還是與這些考試類似的其他國(guó)外考試，都秉承著同樣的理念。許多同學(xué)在備考的過程中總是來詢問我一些關(guān)于考試技巧方面的問題。其實(shí)對(duì)于考試來說，技巧遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不如提高綜合能力來得重要。而同學(xué)們想要在短期內(nèi)迅速提高綜合能力的話，"新概念"便是一條捷徑。"新概念"并不是一套神書，每天瞻仰膜拜也不可能成就英文水平，"新概念"也不是傳說中的靈丹妙藥，能解決所有的疑難雜癥。它畢竟只是一本普通的教材，如果按照以往的學(xué)習(xí)模式，它也只不過比一本故事書更有趣些，語(yǔ)言更地道些。真正的靈丹妙藥是我們學(xué)習(xí)"新概念"的方法。這也就是為什么同一套"新概念"，因?yàn)閷W(xué)習(xí)方法不同而造就完全迥異的學(xué)習(xí)效果。

簡(jiǎn)而言之，新東方的"新概念"的授課方法可以稱為"四合一法 (Four in One)"，即"詞法+句法+章法+題法"。"詞法"指詞匯講解，我們?cè)谑谡n過程中會(huì)將"新概念"課文詞匯依據(jù)托福、雅思等考試要求重新歸類，分為高頻詞、一般詞和低頻詞。這樣的分類既保證了重點(diǎn)突出，又提高了效率。比如第三冊(cè)第一課里有這樣一個(gè)單詞：accumulate。如果教師只是領(lǐng)讀帶讀、一帶而過，也不會(huì)讓學(xué)員產(chǎn)生質(zhì)的提升。其實(shí)這個(gè)單詞在托?？荚嚨墓俜絋PO中多次出現(xiàn)：There is accumulating evidence indicating that birds navigate by using a wide variety of environmental cues. (TOEFL TPO, Orientation and Navigation) 。"句法"主要涉及語(yǔ)法?？荚囬喿x文章中必然包含許多長(zhǎng)難句，而解析這些長(zhǎng)難句也是出題人的考查重點(diǎn)和題目設(shè)置的內(nèi)容。所以，我們?cè)?quot;新概念"課堂會(huì)講解一些語(yǔ)法重點(diǎn)、難點(diǎn)，并緊密結(jié)合考試內(nèi)容，將理論融于實(shí)踐，將抽象化為具象。比如，"新概念"三、四冊(cè)中的難點(diǎn)語(yǔ)法有：同位語(yǔ)從句，倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)、獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)，等等。而這些語(yǔ)法現(xiàn)象在托福、雅思里比比皆是：

1.This was justified by the view that reflective practice could help teachers to feel more intellectually involved in their role and work in teaching and enable them to cope with the paucity of scientific fact and the uncertainty of knowledge in the discipline of teaching. (同位語(yǔ)從句，托福TPO)

2.Plato expressed the idea that humor is simply a delighted felling of superiority over others. (同位語(yǔ)從句，雅思)

3.Most literate women learnt to read in primary school, and the fact that a woman has had an education may simply indicate her family's wealth or that it values its children more highly. (同位語(yǔ)從句，雅思)

4.Nor does the hypothesis that infantile amnesia reflects repression-or holding back-of sexually charged episodes explain the phenomenon. (倒裝，托福TPO)

5.The first region to have something approximating today's ATC was New York City, with other major metropolitan areas following soon after. (獨(dú)立主格，雅思)

6.In the UK, travel times to work had been stable for at least six centuries, with people avoiding situations that required them to spend more than half an hour travelling to work. (獨(dú)立主格，雅思)

"章法"主要與文章的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)有關(guān)。如前所述，英文文章多以"總分"結(jié)構(gòu)為主，我們?cè)谡n堂上通過大量的實(shí)例讓學(xué)員對(duì)這些思維邏輯的內(nèi)容加深印象，夯實(shí)基礎(chǔ)，從而在應(yīng)試中做到臨危不亂，得心應(yīng)手。"題法"就是做題的方法。我們會(huì)在傳授基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)的前提下，適當(dāng)融入技巧的內(nèi)容，力求"基礎(chǔ)為主，技巧為輔"的教學(xué)思路，使學(xué)員在有限的時(shí)間內(nèi)打牢基礎(chǔ)，并總結(jié)技巧，更好地應(yīng)對(duì)考試。

結(jié)語(yǔ)

"新概念"在提高同學(xué)們英語(yǔ)能力方面有著其他教材不可取代的地位。在準(zhǔn)備國(guó)外考試的過程中，這一優(yōu)勢(shì)也極大地顯現(xiàn)出來。相比美文浩如煙海的全套"新概念"而言，筆者上述內(nèi)容只是滄海一粟，掛一漏萬實(shí)屬必然。筆者只愿"他山之石，可以攻玉"，希望同學(xué)們?cè)趥淇紘?guó)外考試、了解國(guó)外考試技巧和要求的同時(shí)，以提高自身英文能力為前提，全力備考，一定會(huì)取得佳績(jī)。
