CATTI 三级笔译综合题型分析与备考建议

三级笔译综合科目，题型

词汇语法：60 道选择题，60分；阅读理解：30 道选择题，30分，完形填空：20 道选择题，10分，有选项。满分100，考试时间共 120

第一部分的第一小部分，

如图，主要考察词汇语法。考纲要求是 5000 单词量，但是这个指数，意义不大。

以第一题为例，考察的词汇，主要是近义词、形近词。看上去很像，意思上却又有差别。要做好这类题目，关键还是词汇量，要靠平时积累。建议以 GRE 词汇或专八词汇为主。两者均可。

至于综合科目教材或练习题，买也可以，不买也可以。认真背单词然后从不复习综合科目，也有很多通过的。毕竟综合科目，除了对词汇考察更深之外，和从小到大的英语试卷差不太多。

词汇语法部分的第二部分，还是词汇，选同义词替换。和上面是一样的，换汤不换药。认识就能做对，不认识只能猜。没有什么技巧。只做练习但是不背单词，用处不大。

词汇语法的第三部分，改错题，选择题形式的改错题。考察的语法大体是高三水平，也有一些略难的题目，不会太多，很多凭语感可以顺出来。真正翻译底子好的考生，这些基本的语法并不会太困难。

关于语法常考的重点，不太好统计，因为 09 年之后官方没有发布过真题，凭借网友回忆几十道选择题也不现实。从样题和以往试题总体来看，各类语法点都会涉及到，例如时态语态、介词搭配、分词用法、倒装、强调句型、单复数、冠词·····

这部分的复习，可以买语法书， 张道真薄冰之类的都可以，高中教辅也可以。平时坚持多看外刊，培养语感，也是很好的办法。 适合自己就

好。

阅读理解，3 篇，每篇 10 道题。出题人比较淳朴，试题基本都是所见所得，顺着做，能看懂就能选对，圈套不多。至少个人感觉比考研英语阅读要简单得多。这部分的复习，建议平时积累词汇，增加阅读量即可。一般没有必要单独练习。

完型填空，高三的老朋友，主要也是考察词汇语法，特别是搭配。这方面特别差的，也不建议题海战术了。多读书，积累语感，可能反而是捷径。

总体来看，综合科目相比实务科目难度并不高。但是很多考友基础比较薄弱，就需要特别重视这方面了。

至于怎么办，无非也就是背单词、扩大阅读量、踏实研究语法这些老生常谈。这些都是慢功夫。一两个月不见效，真的很正常。
