1. 诗歌分析
以2019年真题为例，考生需分析一首现代诗歌《Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening》：
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
考生需要分析诗歌的韵律、节奏、意象、主题等，例如：
韵律：诗歌采用ABAB押韵，每节四行，每行十个音节。

2. 戏剧分析
以2019年真题为例，考生需分析戏剧《Romeo and Juliet》中的一幕：
ROMEO:
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that sweet name, Rosaline.
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that sweet name, Rosaline.
JULIET:
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that sweet name, Rosaline.
ROMEO:
From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty's rose might never die:
But as the raven does his sorry wings
And beating his strong breast against the wall,
Making a terrible and a lou'd noise,
Why she doth so, I cannot tell;
So do I, to thee, O beautiful queen,
With love's sharp sting and with the poison'd cup
Of bitter tears have I been drunken
Too long!
JULIET:
I'll not be sworn, though I were innocent,
I take it not in part: your truth indeed
Is so great that I would be swear'd false
To disbelieve your truth.
ROMEO:
My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.
