英语二是自考本科必考科目的名称，对应自考教材《大学英语(上册)》和《大学英语(下册)》。
英语二：是自考本科需要考的科目之一，是自学考试所有非英语专业的课程中最难通过的一门。是为了完成学业必须要修的一门考试。英语二的难度级别为三级，而学位英语是三级半，学位英语的难度要稍微难一些。
1、英语（二）要求考生需要掌握3500-4000个单词，教材上以及真题练习出现的高频词汇必须引起重视，反复牢记心中。可以根据自己的学习方式每天记忆15-20左右的单词。
2、历年真题使用，反复使用最有价值的资料，多刷几次真题，不停的总结，纠错。
3、零基础的人跟着网课也可以学的很愉快，各大视频站，基本都有新概念的课程。然后反复背单词刷题。
1、词汇量要求大
英语(二)包括英语单词约3800个(其中中学阶段所学词汇1600个)，词组约750个，阅读量为50000余词。
2、翻译能力要求高
翻译能力也就是在锻炼学生的口语听说能力，在平常生活中我们要多想想同样的中文用英语怎么说，如果遇到不知道的就迅速查词典。
3、阅读速度及能力要求高
大纲要求学生掌握初步的阅读技能，能读懂与所学教材最后一册课文难易程度相当的一般性材料。
自考英语二相当于英语三级水平的考试，是高等教育自学考试各专业(英语专业除外)本科阶段的公共基础课，适用于完成了中学阶段英语课程的自考者。自考英语二要求考生具备较高的英语听力理解能力，能够听懂流利的英语口语，包括商务英语和日常对话等。同时，考生应该能够流利地表达自己的意思，包括正确使用语法规则、丰富的词汇以及正确地运用语言技巧来传达信息。
英语（二）满分为100分，60分即为合格，考核形式为笔试，包含题型有：阅读判断、阅读选择、概括段落大意及补全句子、填句补文、填词补文、完形补文和短文写作，共七个大题。
1、词汇：英语（二）要求考生需要掌握3500-4000个单词，教材上以及真题练习出现的高频词汇必须引起重视，反复牢记心中。
2、语法：我们可以看到填词补文和完形填空这两个大题主要是针对语法知识的考查，因此我们得加强语法储备和对词性的判断能力。
3、练习：实践是检验真理的唯一标准，在备考时一定要多做真题练习，有一定的基础学习后只有通过做题才能发现不足，弥补问题。
4、作文：英语（二）话题作文多样，但是都接近生活和实际，可以以历年真题作文为导向多加练习。
自考的英语二可以不考但须在其他专科起点本科专业中选考不低于14学分的若干专业课程。各类英语专业专科及专科以上毕业生和各类专业本科毕业生,学过“英语”,且考试成绩合格以及有全国英语等级考试(PEST)三级证书的也可以不用考英语二。

常考句型
39. “So + be/have/助动词/情态动词+主词”的结构。此结构中的语序是倒装的，“So”代替上句中的某个成分。如果上面一句是否定句，则使用“Neither/Nor+be/have/助动词/情态动词+主语”的结构。
[1] He’s tired, and so am I. (=I’ m also tired.)
[2] You can swim，and so can I.(=I can also swim.)She has had supper，and so can I.(=I’ve had lunch，too.)
[3] Tom speaks English，and so does his sister.(=His sister speaks English，too.)A: I went to the park yesterday.B: So did I.(=I also went to the park yesterday.)
40.“So +主语+be/have/助动词/情态动词”结构中的主谓是正常语序，so相当于indeed,certainly, 表示说话人对前面或对方所说情况的肯定、赞同或证实，语气较强，意思是“确实如此”。
A：It was cold yesterday.昨天很冷。B：So it was.的确如此。(=Yes，it was.)A：You seem to like sports.B：So I do.(=Yes，I do.)A：It will be fine tomorrow.B：So it will.(=Yes ，it will.)
41.“主语+do/does/did + so”结构指的是按上句的要求做了。此句型中do so代替上文中要求做的事，以免重复。
My Chinese teacher told me to hand in my composition on time and I did so.(=I handed inmy composition on time.) 语文老师叫我按时交作文, 我照办了。
42. So it is with…或 It is the same with…句型表示 “……(的情况)也是如此。”当前面的句子中有几种不同形式的谓语时，要表示相同情况，必须使用本句型，不能使用so 引起的倒装句。
She doesn’t play the piano, but she likes singing. So it is with my sister.
43. There you are. 行了，好。 这是一句表示一种事情告一段落或有了最终结果的用语。
[1] There you are! Then let's have some coffee.除此之外，还可以表示“瞧，对吧(果然如此)”的语气。
[2] There you are! I knew we should find it at last.对吧!我就知道我们最终能找到的。
44. have some difficulty (in) doing sth. 干某事有困难;接名词时，常用句型：have some difficulty with sth.
[1] Do you have any difficulty (in) understanding English?你理解英语口语有困难吗?[1] She said she had some difficulty with pronunciation.她说她在发音方面有困难。
45. have a good knowledge of sth. “掌握……”，“对……有某种程度的了解”
[1] He has a good knowledge of London.他对伦敦有所了解。
[2] A good knowledge of languages is always useful.
长难句
46. Wei Bin took out some peanuts and it was fun to see the monkey eat from his hand.魏彬拿出一些花生。看着猴子从他手上吃花生，很有趣。
[1] fun “好玩，趣事”，不可数名词，前面不加不定冠词aYou’re sure to have some fun at the party tonight. 今天晚上你肯定会玩得很开心。
[2] make fun of“取笑”，“嘲弄”。People make fun of him only because he is wearing such a strange jacket.人们嘲笑他只是因为他穿了一件那么奇怪的衣服。
funny adj. “可笑的，滑稽的”He looks very funny in his father’s jacket.他穿着他父亲的衣服，看上去很滑稽。
47. It is polite to finish eating everything on your plate.把你盘子里所有东西吃完是有礼貌的。
这是一个动词不定式作主语的句型，其中to finish eating everything 是主语，it是形式主语。
常考语法
48. 直接引语和间接引语[1] 直接引语在改为间接引语时，时态需要做相应的调整。(一般过去时改成过去完成时)I broke your CD player.→He told me he had broken my CD player.
(现在完成时改成过去完成时)Jenny said, “I have lost a book.”→Jenny said she had lost a book.
(一般将来时改成过去将来时)Mum said, “I’ll go to see a friend.”→Mum said she would go to see a friend.
(过去完成时保留原有的时态)He said, “We hadn’t finished our homework.”→He said they hadn’t finished their homework.
注意：直接引语是客观真理，过去进行时，时态不变。
[2] 在直接引语变间接引语时，如果从句中的主语时第一人称或被第一人称所修饰，从句中的人称要按照主句中主语的人称变化。如：Mary said, “My brother is an engineer.”→Mary said her brother was and engineer.
[3] 直接引语如果是反意疑问句，选择疑问句或一般疑问句，间接引语应改为由whether或if引导的宾语从句。如：He said, “Can you run, Mike?”→He asked Mike whether/if he could run.
[4] 直接引语如果是祈使句，间接引语应改为“tell(ask, order, beg等) (not) to do sth.”句型。如：“Pass me the water, please.”said he.→He asked him to pass her the water.
[5] 直接引语如果是以“Let’s”开头的祈使句，变为间接引语时，通常用“suggest+动名词或从句”的结构。如：She said, “Let’s go to the cinema.”→She suggested going to the cinema.或She suggested that they should go to the cinema.
49. 现在进行时表将来的动作现在进行时表将来的动作，谓语通常为瞬间动词。如：come, go, arrive, leave, start, return, stay, meet, get等。这些动词的进行时后不能再接具体的时间。
[1] 用现在进行时表示将来，指的是近期的，按计划或安排要发生的动作。
[2] 现在进行时表示将来与表示正在进行的动作的区别在于：前者通常用瞬间动词(有时一些常用动词也可以这样用如：do)如：go, come, start, return, get, arrive等。而后者通常是持续性动词。① The train is arriving soon. 火车就要进站了。② He is reading a novel. 他在看小说。
[3] 用现在进行时表示将来的时间，在句中或上下文中通常有表示将来时间的状语。
[4] 现在进行时与一般现在时表示将来动作的区别在于：前者表示的将来的动作往往是可以改变的，而后者则是根据规定或时间表预计要发生的动作或事情，因此往往是不可改变或不可随便改变的。① What are you doing next Friday?下星期五你们打算干什么?② The plane takes off at 7：30 tonight.飞机今晚七点半起飞。
50. 主语是单数时，尽管后面跟有as well as, but ,except, besides, with ,along with, together with, like 等，谓语动词仍用单数。The teacher as well as his students is excited.
报考自学考试复习从单词学习入手，拆解词根，熟悉背诵例句，锻炼语感。联想式记忆，词根+联想+记忆法联想式记忆，词根+联想+记忆法进行备考。
考过的同学都知道，成人学位英语并非词汇量很大，生词很多，而且涉及的语法也似曾相识。知道一个词的属性。比如名词、动词、形容词、副词，因为其中两个都会涉及到这方面的测试。词性记忆可以通过记忆单词的方式来实现。同时，应该注意到，一个词有时有不同的词性。
基本语法时态必须记住。过去时、虚拟语气等很难掌握，但一般语法、被动语态、现在完成时必须掌握。语法时态学起来很枯燥，但可以结合日常生活来记忆。在学习一个语法点时，你可以举出一些有趣的例子来帮助你记住，这将有助于你更牢固地记住。
