这篇文章我在网上搜到了
Lateral Thinking

A father is busy putting decorations on to the Christmas tree but as quickly as he puts them on his two-year-old son pulls them off. He is about to put the child in a play pen when his wife suggests that it might make more sense to put the tree in the playpen and leave the child outside. Instead of keeping the child away from the tree one can keep the tree away from the child. Lateral thinking involves moving sideways to look at things in a different way. Instead of fixing on one particular approach and then working forward from that the lateral thinker tries to find other approaches.

You cannot dig a hole in a different place by digging the same hole deeper. A committee that is convinced that parking meters are the only way to control city parking will spend its time deciding what meters to use, where to put them and how to patrol them. A lateral thinker would look at other approaches: letting people park anywhere they liked so long as they left their headlights on; giving people licenses which would allow them to park free in town only one day a week and so encouraging car sharing; visible licenses that the motorist would pay for if he wanted to park anywhere in town.

Our thinking traditions are very firmly based on logical thinking in which we start off with a certain way of looking at things and then see what we can deduce from that. This can be called vertical thinking since it involves building on what is accepted as traditional. Vertical thinking is for using ideas and lateral thinking is for changing them.

Most of our thinking does not take place at the logical stage but at the perceptual stage which precedes this. Lateral thinking is to do with changing perceptions and finding new ways of looking at things. Lateral thinking is the practical process of creativity. There are various deliberate techniques such as the use of stepping stones (produced, for instance, by reversing the usual situation). Lateral thinking turns creativity into a tool. In a patterning system such as the mind provocation is as important as analysis—and more important for changing ideas.

 

复试：
复试才真正涉及专业课，一门听力一门专业课，最后面试，各100分。
听力：华师的听力有点不一样，所有题目一起听，中间没停顿，最后给你两分钟写，不过你可以边听边写，前15题（好像是）都是选择，然后填空，有些能直接听 出来，不过有些要自己总结，然后是正误题，最后两个主观题，两个都是新闻，大家平时还是多听听新闻吧，我就是因为复试前听少了，听力考的不好….
专业课：语言学题目，也是选择题，很基础的，认真看书就行….然后文学70分，先填空，里面有题Kate Chopin关于女权主义的作品，我不会，其余都是文学常识，如Pip出现在Dickens的那篇作品中，Mark twain的 iceburg principle等，建议大家看看环球出的英美文学考点测评，那五本文学参考书的学习指南。然后名词解释三个：dramatic monologue, naturalism, 还有一个忘记了，名次解释环球的那本书上挺好的，美国文学简史上也有，可以参考，然后简答题（20分），第一题记不清了，第二题是至少从三个方面分析 Rip Van Winkle，最后叙述题，I wandered lonely as a cloud, 两个小题，诗人如何体现其与自然地关系的，如何体现其poetical principle的。最后15分翻译理论（选择题），看参考书的前几章就行，记住翻译家的流派，有一题是提出sublimity是谁。
最后面试，我抽的是62号，下午面试，今年文学84个人面试， 抽的是on journalism，关于报纸的文章，做summary，然后自己的看法，三分钟，老师再随便问一个，问我的是在找工作时的男女歧视问题的看法，老师很 和蔼，好像有六个，因为只顾着和坐我正前面的老师说话，其余老师都没怎么看清…以为会问些以后学什么专业的问题，都没问，不过还是考试前准备下比较好，英语专业口语还是很重要的…
就先写到这里吧，以后想到什么再补充，希望对11年考研的同学有帮助…

 

华师英语专业 基础英语最后一题的诗歌原文

He fumbles at your Soul

He fumbles at your Soul

As Players at the Keys

Before they drop full Music on --

He stuns you by degrees --

Prepares your brittle Nature

For the Ethereal Blow

By fainter Hammers -- further heard --

Then nearer -- Then so slow

Your Breath has time to straighten --

Your Brain -- to bubble Cool --

Deals -- One -- imperial -- Thunderbolt --

That scalps your naked Soul --

 

When Winds take Forests in the Paws --

The Universe -- is still --
