1、分数解释

大学英语四、六级考试是标准相关-常模参照的标准化考试。标准相关体现在：1)试卷各部分的设计和命题参照大学英语的教学要求规定的技能和标准;2)写作和翻译部分的阅卷依据评分标准。常模参照体现在考后各部分的原始分转换成报道分时，分别参照各部分的常模。因此，考试既是标准相关又具有常模参照的性质。

大学英语四、六级考试不设及格线。经过等值处理后的原始总分参照总分常模转换成常模正态分，均值为500、标准差为70，报道总分在220分至710分之间。在将原始分转换成报道分时，各部分采用不同的分数量表，从而使各部分报道分的简单相加之和等于报道总分。

采用常模参照旨在保证考试分数解释的稳定性。考生的任何一次四、六级考试成绩均可在四级或六级常模中找到其百分位位置，即考生成绩在相应级别的常模群体中所处的相对位置。考试委员会网站上()已公布了总分和各部分的百分位对照表，以供考试成绩使用者了解考生的相对能力水平（点击查看>>>大学英语四、六级考试分数解释）。

2、成绩报道

成绩报道分为总分和单项分。单项分包括：1)听力，2)阅读，3)翻译和写作。每次考试后，考试委员会向总分在220分及以上的考生发放成绩报告单，报告其总分和各部分的单项分。考试委员会同时向参加考试的各个院校提供该校考生的成绩(总分和各部分单项分)和有关该校的各种统计数据。5、评分标准1)作文评分标准

考前复习策略

1、背单词：买一本单词书比较好是四级的词汇也可以直接从网上下载新词汇表(书)-新四级词汇大全(附有音标) 。给自己一个背单词的计划，每天100个单词把中文意思一定要背过会拼写争取在寒假内把词汇表中的约4000(5500)个单词全部过一遍有个大体印象。

2、练听力：听力在考试前一个月突击是没有什么太大的效果的。所以，在基础阶段时，要加大听力的练习。大家不需要特意去练习考试听力。有时间听歌英文歌曲，也可以从网上下载一些听力资料，或者可以在线听。平时可以学习英语听写资料VOA, BBC, CNN新闻听力，每天听一篇，相信大家在9月份初的时候，会有很大的收获因为四级的听力语速很慢每天只需要听一篇。但是一定要一边听一遍写，直到能把英语都写下来，无论听多少遍。这就需要大家在练习中有着坚持和执着的学习精神。

3、语法：很多四级的朋友在四级答题时，尤其是在写作和深度阅读部分，语法问题很严重。可以适当地把四级语法整体学习一下，也可以请自己的英语老师帮忙补补语法。

口试由口试教师根据相应该级别的考试要求，通过提问和交谈的形式给考生打分。考试共分三节，测试重点为考生pets-4口试试卷结构及分数权重表

第一节

口试教师与考生对话

口试教师提出了解考生个人信息

考生用英语表达个人信息

*表达个人信息

*谈论过去及现在的经历

*谈论将来的打算

第二节

两考生或三考生相互对话

第三节

考生分别就信息卡内容连续表达并进行简短讨论

抽取的口试资料卡片

用英语表达信息阐述考生自我观点，连续表达

*阐述考生个人的观点

*回答对方考生所提问题

说明：每次口试考试采取两位口试教师和两位考生的形式。如果，最后剩余考生的数量为三名时，也可将这三位考生列入共同口试。这种形式的口试所用的材料会与两位考生的形式相同。三人的考试时间会相应的延长，分别为：a 节：3 分钟，每人1分钟；b节：5分钟；c 节：10 分钟。

口试中，一位口试教师不参与交谈，专门记录考生回答的内容，再考生实际口语情况和临场表现给予评分。这为口试教师所给的口试分数会占考生口试成绩的三分之二。另一位口试教师主持口试，引领口试考生回答问题以及口试考生间的合作交谈。这位主持口试的教师所给的分数站考生口试成绩的三分之一。口试成绩合格为3分(含3分)。

口语考试特别提示：

首先，第一印象非常重要。由于口试考试是考生直接面对考官（face-to-face），所以给主考官留下一个比较好的第一印象是非常重要的，他会在接下来的考试中以一种轻松、温和的语调与你交谈。这个第一印象不仅仅是衣着方面的。当然，穿着整洁，仪表大方是很重要的一个方面，它能给人一种美好的感觉，从而对你这个人的整体素质会留下一个很好的印象。还有当进入考场后要礼貌地问候老师，离开的时候应该说感谢和再见。

其次在口试考试中的第一印象之中，表情及心理方面的第一印象是至关重要的，当你推开门进考场的时候，一个微笑，一个颔首示意，就能使你和主考官的距离拉近，前面已经说了，口试考试是考生和主考官face to face，所以，这一点是很重要的，在我担任主考官的时候，考生一进门就报以一个微笑，一个颌首示意，我肯定会回报一个微笑，一个点头。没有一个考官会当考生以一个微笑、颌首示意向他打招呼的时候，会回报一张苦瓜脸的。这样，心情会一下子调动起来，彼此都有一个好的心情，两人之间的距离也拉得很近了，考试也就像拉家常一样了，于是考试自然而然就会很顺利了。

第三要注意眼睛和手势的使用(body language ).当回答老师的问题时，考生要借助手势表达出你想表达的思想。还要用眼睛不时地注视每一位老师。千万不要低头自言自语或者只顾回答自己的问题，无视老师的存在。

Small Schools Rising

This year’s list of the top 100 high schools showsthat today, those with fewer students are flourishing.

Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing ineducational reform: big, modern, suburban high schools with students counted inthe thousands. As baby boomers(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的`人) came of high-school age, big schoolspromised economic efficiency. A greater choice of courses, and, of course,better football teams. Only years later did we understand the trade-offs thisinvolved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies(官僚机构)，the difficulty of forging personalconnections between teachers and students.SAT scores began dropping in 1963;today,on average,30% of students do not complete high school in four years, afigure that rises to 50% in poor urban neighborhoods. While the emphasis onteaching to higher, test-driven standards as set in No Child Left Behindresulted in significantly better performance in elementary (and some middle)schools, high schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress.

Size isn’t everything, but it does matter, and thepast decade has seen a noticeable countertrend toward smaller schools. This hasbeen due, in part, to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested$1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 smallschools-most of them with about 400 kids each with an average enrollment ofonly 150 per grade, About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all overthe country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York,Chicago and San Diego. The movement includes independent public charterschools, such as No.1 BASIS in Tucson, with only 120 high-schoolers and 18graduates this year. It embraces district-sanctioned magnet schools, such asthe Talented and Gifted School, with 198 students, and the Science andEngineering Magnet, with383, which share a building in Dallas, as well as theCity Honors School in Buffalo, N.Y., which grew out of volunteer eveningseminars for students. And it includes alternative schools with studentsselected by lottery(抽签)，such asH-B Woodlawn in Arlington, Va. And most noticeable of all, there is thephenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up intosmaller units of a few hundred, generally housed in the same grounds that onceboasted thousands of students all marching to the same band.

Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, Calif, is one ofthose, ranking No.423―among the top 2% in the country―on Newsweek’s annualranking of America’s top high schools. The success of small schools is apparentin the listings. Ten years ago, when the first Newsweek list based oncollege-level test participation was published, only three of the top 100schools had graduating Classes smaller than 100 students. This year there are 22.Nearly 250 schools on the full, Newsweek list of the top 5% of schoolsnationally had fewer than 200 graduates in 2007.

Although many of Hillsdale’s students came fromwealthy households, by the late 1990 average test scores were sliding and ithad earned the unaffectionate nickname (绰号)“Hillsjail. ” Jeff Gilbert. A Hillsdale teacher who became principal last year,remembers sitting with other teachers watching students file out of agraduation ceremony and asking one another in astonishment, “How did thatstudent graduate?”

So in 2003 Hillsdale remade itself into three“houses,” romantically named Florence, Marrakech and Kyoto. Each of the 300arriving ninth graders are randomly(随机地)assigned to one of the houses. Where they will keep the same four core subjectteachers for two years, before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades.The closeness this system cultivates is reinforced by the institution of“advisory” classes Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings aweek, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to badSaturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stayin touch with parents, so they are deeply invested in the students’success.“We’re constantly talking about one another’s advisers,” says Englishteacher Chris Crockett. “If you hear that yours isn’t doing well in math, orsee them sitting outside the dean’s office, it’s like a personal failure.”Along with the new structure came a more demanding academic program, the percentageof freshmen taking biology jumped from 17 to 95.“It was rough for some. But bysenior year, two-thirds have moved up to physics,” says Gilbert “Our kids arecoming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know themand care for them.”But not all schools show advances after downsizing, and itremains to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution.

The Newsweek list of top U.S. high schools was madethis year, as in years past, according to a single metric, the proportion ofstudents taking college-level exams. Over the years this system has come in forits share of criticism for its simplicity. But that is also its strength: it’seasy for readers to understand, and to do the arithmetic for their own schoolsif they’d like.

Ranking schools is always controversial, and this yeara group of 38 superintendents(地区教育主管)from five states wrote to ask that theirschools be excluded from the calculation.“It is impossible to know which highschools are ‘the best’ in the nation,”their letter read. In part. “Determiningwhether different schools do or don’t offer a high quality of educationrequires a look at many different measures, including students’ overallacademic accomplishments and their subsequent performance in college. Andtaking into consideration the unique needs of their communities.”

In the end, the superintendents agreed to provide thedata we sought, which is, after all, public information. There is, in our view,no real dispute here, we are all seeking the same thing, which is schools thatbetter serve our children and our nation by encouraging students to tackletough subjects under the guidance of gifted teachers. And if we keep workingtoward that goal, someday, perhaps a list won’t be necessary.

Conversation 1

W：Good evening andwelcome to this week’s Business World, the program for and about businesspeople. Tonight, we have Mr. Steven Kayne, who has just taken over andestablished bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run yourown store?

M: Well, I always loved racing bikes and fixing them. When I was workingfull-time as a salesman for a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby.I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going,I’ll do it. I had my heart set on it and I didn’t let anything stand in my way.When I went down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I’d love being myown boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when Iwant.

W: You mean you don’t keep regular hours?

M: Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business isslower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early.

W: Have you hired any employees to work with you yet?

M: Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They helpme out a few days a week. It’s great because we play cards or just sit aroundand talk when there are no customers.

W: Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your new business.

Question 19-22 are based on theconversation you have just heard.

19. What is the woman doing?

20. What did Mr. Kayne do before he took over the bicycle shop?

Conversation 2

W: Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paperprocessing, I think.

M: Yes, but I’m not quite sure about the status of those industries now. Couldyou tell us something about that?

W: Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant, but steel-relatedmanufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity. So it’s still veryimportant. In fact, 80% of Spain’s machine tools are from the Basque Country.As for paper processing, there’s still a little. But it’s no longer what itonce was in the region. So, is that clear?

M: Yes, thanks.

W: Now, to get back to what I was saying, there’s a lot of unemployment as wellas geographical problems in the region.

M: Sorry, Victoria. What do you mean by geographical problems?

W: Well, what I mean is the area is very hilly, mountainous in parts. So thereused to be transport problems, now though there are new train links and betterroads, but it may be that some smaller towns inland remain not very wellconnected, is that OK? Does that make sense? When we talk about specificlocation suggestions for the factory, we’ll see this in more detail, so we’llcome back to this question, OK?

M: OK, right.

W: So I was about to say something about the work force in the region and thelevel of training and education. In general, it’s very good and improving.

Question 23-25 are based on theconversation you have just heard.

23. What does the woman say about the steel-related manufacturing in theregion?

Passage 1

I first met Joe Ganz when we were both nine years old, which is probably theonly reason he’s one of my best friends. If I had first met Joe as a freshmanin high school we wouldn’t even have had the chance to get to know each other.Joe is a day student, but I am a boarding student. We haven’t been in sameclasses, sports or extra-curricular activities. Nonetheless, I spend nearlyevery weekend at his house and we talk on the phone every night. This is not tosay that we would not have been compatible if we had first met in our freshmanyear. Rather, we would not have been likely to spend enough time getting toknow each other due to the lack of immediately visible mutual interests. Infact, to be honest, I struggle even now to think of things we have in common.But maybe that’s what makes us enjoy each other’s company so much. When I lookat my friendship with Joe, I wonder how many people I’ve known whom I neverdisliked, but simply didn’t take the time to get to know. Thanks to Joe, I haverealized how little basis there is for the social divisions that exist in everycommunity. Since this realization, I have begun to make an even more determinedeffort to find friends in unexpected people and places.

26: Why does the speaker say Joe Ganz became one of his best friends?

27: Where does the speaker spend most of his weekends?

28: What has the speaker learned from his friendship with Joe?

It was late and he was very tired when he drove home.He turned into his building’s parking lot, but all the spaces were full. Hedrove back out onto the street, looking for a parking space. The first block wasfull. The next block was almost empty. Lewis didn’t see a “no parking” sign,but he has expected that his parking were allowed there. Most the spaces wouldbe filled. Then he saw a small parking lot with two free spaces. He was so gladto see them that he didn’t even think to read the sign by the entrance. Hedrove in, parked and hurried home to go to bed. The next morning he went backto the lot to get his car. It was gone. He ran home and telephoned the citypolice to say that his car had been stolen. It took the police only a minute totell him what had happened: his car had been on a private lot. It had beentaken away by the police. Lewis had to take a taxi to visit the city garage farfrom the city center. He had to pay a fee of 40 dollars to get his car back. Inaddition, he got a parking ticket, his first one ever in Greenville.

29: Where did Lewis intend to park his car when he came back from work onenight?

30: What did Lewis think had happened to his car the next morning?

31: Where did Lewis finally get his car back?

Passage 3

Well, to pick up where we left off last time, I believe we agreed thatcreativity is a mysterious idea. It was those things we all recognize when wesee it, but we don’t really understand what it is. We seem to feel that somepeople are naturally creative, but we don’t know how they got that way. Iscreativity a natural gift like good looks, or is it something that can beacquired like knowledge? Perhaps if we analyze the creative process carefully,we might get some insight into what it is and how it might work in our lives.The creative process has always been accepted as the source of all importantwork in the arts, but we should not think the creativity plays a role only inthe arts. Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining theworld to look differently from the way others saw it. And this is whatcreativity is all about -- imagining the world in a new way. And despite whatyou may believe about the limits of your own creative imaginations, we all havethe potential to imagine the world in an absolutely new way. In fact, you areborn with it. It is your birth right as a human being. And what’s more, you useit every day, almost every moment of your life. Your creative imagination iswhat you use to make sense of your experiences. It’s your creative mind thatgets meaning from chaos of experiences and brings order to your world.

32. What did the speaker mostprobably discuss last time?

33. What is the widely accepted idea about the creative process?

34. What leads to major scientific discoveries according to the speaker?

35. What does the speaker imply about the creative process?

复合式听写：

Students have been complainingmore and more about stolen property. Radios, cell phones, bicycles, pocketcalculators and books have all been reported stolen. Are there enough campuspolice to do the job? There are twenty officers in the campus securitydivision. Their job is to handle crime, accidents, lost-and-found items andtraffic problems on campus. More than half of their time is spent directingtraffic and writing parking tickets. Responding promptly to accidents and otheremergencies is important, but it is their smallest job. Dealing with crimetakes up the rest of their time. Very rarely do any violent crimes actuallyoccur. In the last five years. There have been no murders, seven robberies andabout 60 other violent attacks, most of these involving fights at parties. Onthe other hand, there have been hundreds of thefts and cases of deliberatedamaging of public property, which usually involves breaking windows or lightsor writing on walls. The thefts are not the carefully planned burglaries thatyou see in movies. Things get stolen when it’s easy to steal them, because theyare left lying around unwatched. Do we really need more police? Hiring morecampus police will cost money, possibly making our tuition go up again. Abetter way to solve this problem might be for all of us to be more careful withour things.

Passage One

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

In times ofeconomic crisis. Americans turn to their families for support. If the GreatDepression is any guide, we may see a drop in our sky high divorce rate. Butthis won’t necessarily represent. an increase in happy marriages. In the longrun, the Depression weakened American families, and the current crisis willprobably do the same.

We tend to thinkof the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge joblosses, by 1932. When nearly one-quarter of the workforce was unemployed, thedivorce rate had declined by around 25% from 1929 But this doesn’t mean peoplewere suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incomes decreasing andinsecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldn’t afford to divorce. They fearedneither spouse could manage alone.

Today, given thejob losses of the past year, fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separatehouseholds, Furthermore, the housing market meltdown will make it moredifficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes.

After financialdisasters family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each otherand their communities, A 1940 book. The Unemployed Man and His Family,described a family in which the husband initially reacted to losing his job“with tireless search for work.”He was always active, looking for odd jobs todo.

The problem isthat such an impulse is hard to sustain Across the country, many similarfamilies were unable to maintain the initial boost in morale(士气). For some, the hardships of life without steady workeventually overwhelmed their attempts to keep their families together. Thedivorce rate rose again during the rest of the decade as the recovery tookhold.

Millions ofAmerican families may now be in the initial stage of their responses to thecurrent crisis, working together and supporting one another through the earlymonths of unemployment.

Today’s economic crisis could well generate a similarnumber of couples whose relationships have been irreparably(无法弥补地)ruined. So it’s only when the economy is healthyagain that we’ll begin to see just how many broken families have been created.

Apologies minimize conflict, lead toforgiveness, and serve to restore relationship closeness. In line 82 this view,spouses who are more forgiving show higher mental 83 over time. Increasingly,apologizing can even have 84 health benefits. For example, when people reflecton hurtful 85 and grudges(怨恨)，they shownegative physiological(生理的) effects, including 86 heart rate andblood pressure, compared to when they reflect on sympathetic perspective-takingand forgiving.

清晰透彻地把握四级的命题规律及命题方向，了解学生在考试中常犯的错误，帮助学生熟悉各种题材的写作，有利于提高学生的应试能力。四级考试是本科生第四个学期安排的一个阶段性检测考试，有些学校仍然把学位证跟大学四级成绩挂钩。四级的成绩不能作为最终的奋斗目标，无论你继续你的学业或者就业，仅凭四级的成绩，这还是远远不够的。与现在继续求学或社会职场的要求还有差距，四级的分数再高，也不能达到当今社会各方面的要求。但只要通过四级，就不要再重考，因为通过四级考试，意味着你已经取得了一个向更高级别攀登的敲门砖，为什么不把你的时间、精力、热情投入未来的六级学习中去，或参加考研英语以及出国考试的托福或雅思。制定更高的目标，可以提高你的英语水平，还可以提高证书的含金量。各种水平的英语考试都有一些可遵循的规律。四级考试第一题就是30分钟的定时写作，占总分的15%，也就是在规定的时间内完成写作任务，这样安排比较合理，它最能体现考生的语言掌握状况。而旧的四级考试，把写作放在最后一部分，很多学生不能合理地分配时间，出现了很多学生写作交白卷或者只留下几分钟进行草草的写作，不能真实地体现自己应有的写作水平。这就要求学生在平时训练时一定要进行定时的训练。所谓定时训练就是不要拿一篇作文来做一天，而是必须在给定的30分钟内写好一篇文章。仿写范文也是一种很好的练习。所以不要只看你写了多少篇文章，而是必须在规定的时间里完成这个题目，这是四级英语越来越追求的特点。此外四级的另一特点就是比较注重阅读和听力，尤其是听力的比重越来越高。以后的四级改革将和雅思和托福一样与机考接轨。现在很多高校是机考和纸考并重，这种运势表明听力考核已经越来越重视了，因为只有听懂你才能答题，才能与人交流沟通，这也是未来英语发展的一个趋势。听说读写译已是语言学习的五项基本技能，如果你边第一项听都不能符合要求，就谈不上去应用，与人沟通交流。当今越来越多的考题测重听力的生活化，这就是为什么我们目前纸质的4级考试听力占到35%，比重是相当高的。而未来的改革趋势就是进行机考，而机考的所有题目都是依托于视听材料。所以备考四级阶段一定要注重听力训练。而听力训练一定要从日常的应用角度出发，越来越侧重实应性。现在的四级考试能和西方的真正的生活化场景接轨，给你营造这么一种氛围和环境，让你进入一种语境状态下去应用英语。这是如今四级考试的一个大的特点。而阅读在四级考试中也是占35%。学生在平时的练习中一定要注意去给定的时间内迅速作出选择，这也包括像完型填空这种运用性非常强的题以及少量的翻译题。在每年的阅卷老师感受最深的是作文阅卷。很多学生对一些英语小的细节、小的单词拼写，小的标点符号或者很小的一些分段等非知识能力型细节不加注意。这都是一些注意一下能够改正的`东西，很多同学不拘小节，认为这一点点小错误没关系，主要作文整体过得去，阅卷老师能看懂所表达的意思。阅卷老师会认为这个学生连最基本的单词都不会写，最基本的标点符号都用错，最起码的分段都不懂，他还会给你高分吗？按照四级的作文模试一般分成三段，非常清晰的三段。其次你的书写一定要清晰让阅卷老师一目了然，知道你的中心点是什么？知道段和段之间的衔接是什么？知道每段表达什么样的观点，最后把整体的文章按照新的要求作一个清晰地表达，避免一些因粗心而犯的错误。学生失分较多的起型是完型填空，因为完型填空在整体的四级考试中所占的比重较较小，即10%。一些同学采取放弃不准备的态度，另外一些人则认为再怎么练也是这么多分，到考场再临时发挥吧。完型填空，也称英语知识运用，它是一种最综合、最能体现学生的综合水平，大家不要小看完型填空，在考试的最后阶段一定要重视完型填空，因为它和其它各种起型紧密联系在一起，这种完型填空题如果补上那些词就成为一篇阅读理解，因此考生在备考完型填空的同时，阅读能力也在不断地提高。而完型填空里的一些好词好句对你的写作也是有帮助的。在你准备完型填空的过程中，对你的听力以及翻译也是有所帮助的。这种题型是历届考生得分率最低的，而这个题目的及分率低往往又影响其它的题目。有一个很有意思的现象，四级考高分的同学往往完型填空的得分较高，这两种成绩成正比。如果真正搞定完型填空，以完型填空为契机，迎刃而解四级考试，完型得高分，四级总成绩也高。因此不要因为只有10%而放弃，它与整个四级的成绩有着密切的联系。四级考试中还有翻译题也是考生不太愿意去面对的问题，翻译只占5%，占整体总分比例较小，因而很多考生认为不用准备，到时临场发挥一下。如何最快最好地突破翻译题呢？大一时就必须明确告诉学生，翻译是四级考试最后必须经历的一种题型。因而从大一起就应该把课本里面的重要的词组，包括课本后面重要的练习作为你未来翻译准备的目标，扎实准备。四级考试历年来的翻译题进行积累总结。准备大学四级考试，课本是根本，真题是指向，只有抓住根本，按照真题的指向去准备才不会走偏，才不会脱离根本。时间比较紧张，回归课本学习没有时间，我们就必须以真题为指向，把真题进行全面疏理。把真题里出现过的翻译考查的词汇、考查点、语法现象。进行全面汇总后，你会发现，它会呈现出课本的印象。四级的翻译题只是把课本曾经出现过的一些翻译题目呈现在试卷上，真题试卷是课本翻译题的印象。如果有时间回归课本，时间比较紧张，一定要把真题出现的翻译题搞懂搞透。考前做历年来的试题，一定要在规定的时间里完成题目。

过去很多人误认为懂得英语语音语法词汇就通运用英语，因此英语语音语法词汇就是英语的运用能力，一些考试也都是根据这些概念来设计的。实际上应试分数并不等于实际语言的应用能力。要用好一种语言，必须在学好语言知识的基础上，不断反复实践、积累经验，逐步把知识能力转化为实际应用语言的能力。现代很多考试贴近生活、贴近实际，能比较准确地反映一个人的语言使用能力。

Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)

Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D].

For questions 8 -10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.

That’s enough, kids

It was a lovely day at the park and Stella Bianchi was enjoying the sunshine with her two children when a young boy, aged about four, approached her two-year-old son and pushed him to the ground.

“I’d watched him for a little while and my son was the fourth or fifth child he’d shoved,” she says.” I went over to them, picked up my son, turned to the boy and said, firmly, ’No, we don’t push,” What happened next was unexpected.

“The boy’s mother ran toward me from across the park,” Stella says,” I thought she was coming over to apologize, but instead she started shouting at me for disciplining her child, All I did was let him know his behavior was unacceptable. Was I supposed to sit back while her kid did whatever he wanted, hurting other children in the process?”

Getting your own children to play nice is difficult enough. Dealing with other people’s children has become a minefield.

In my house, jumping on the sofa is not allowed. In my sister’s house it’s encouraged. For her, it’s about kids being kids: “If you can’t do it at three, when can you do it?”

Each of these philosophies is valid and, it has to be said, my son loves visiting his aunt’s house. But I find myself saying “no” a lot when her kids are over at mine. That’s OK between sisters but becomes dangerous territory when you’re talking to the children of friends or acquaintances.

“Kids aren’t all raised the same,” agrees Professor Naomi White of Monash University.” But there is still an idea that they’re the property of the parent. We see our children as an extension of ourselves, so if you’re saying that my child is behaving inappropriately, then that’s somehow a criticism of me.”

In those circumstances, it’s difficult to know whether to approach the child directly or the parent first. There are two schools of thought.

“I’d go to the child first,” says Andrew Fuller, author of Tricky Kids. Usually a quiet reminder that ’we don’t do that here’ is enough. Kids nave finely tuned antennae (直觉) for how to behave in different settings.”

He points out bringing it up with the parent first may make them feel neglectful, which could cause problems. Of course, approaching the child first can bring its own headaches, too.

This is why White recommends that you approach the parents first. Raise your concerns with the parents if they’re there and ask them to deal with it,” she says.

Asked how to approach a parent in this situation, psychologist Meredith Fuller answers: “Explain your needs as well as stressing the importance of the friendship. Preface your remarks with something like: ’I know you’ll think I’m silly but in my house I don’t want…’”

When it comes to situations where you’re caring for another child, white is straightforward: “common sense must prevail. If things don’t go well, then have a chat.”

There’re a couple of new grey areas. Physical punishment, once accepted from any adult, is no longer appropriate. “A new set of considerations has come to the fore as part of the debate about how we handle children.”

For Andrew Fuller, the child-centric nature of our society has affected everyone:” The rules are different now from when today’s parents were growing up,” he says, “Adults are scared of saying: ’don’t swear’, or asking a child to stand up on a bus. They’re worried that there will be conflict if they point these things out – either from older children, or their parents.”

He sees it as a loss of the sense of common public good and public courtesy (礼貌), and says that adults suffer form it as much as child.

Meredith Fuller agrees: “A code of conduct is hard to create when you’re living in a world in which everyone is exhausted from overwork and lack of sleep, and a world in which nice people are perceived to finish last.”

“It’s about what I’m doing and what I need,” Andrew Fuller says. ”the days when a kid came home from school and said, “I got into trouble”. And dad said, ‘you probably deserved it’. Are over. Now the parents are charging up to the school to have a go at teachers.”

This jumping to our children’s defense is part of what fuels the “walking on eggshells” feeling that surrounds our dealings with other people’s children. You know that if you remonstrate(劝诫) with the child, you’re going to have to deal with the parent. It’s admirable to be protective of our kids, but is it good?

“Children have to learn to negotiate the world on their own, within reasonable boundaries,” White says. “I suspect that it’s only certain sectors of the population doing the running to the school –better –educated parents are probably more likely to be too involved.”

White believes our notions of a more child-centered, it’ a way of talking about treating our children like commodities(商品). We’re centered on them but in ways that reflect positively on us. We treat them as objects whose appearance and achievements are something we can be proud of, rather than serve the best interests of the children.”

One way over-worked, under-resourced parents show commitment to their children is to leap to their defence. Back at the park, Bianchi’ intervention(干预) on her son’ behalf ended in an undignified exchange of insulting words with the other boy’ mother.

As Bianchi approached the park bench where she’d been sitting, other mums came up to her and congratulated her on taking a stand. “Apparently the boy had a longstanding reputation for bad behaviour and his mum for even worse behaviour if he was challenged.”

Andrew Fuller doesn’t believe that we should be afraid of dealing with other people’s kids. “look at kids that aren’t your own as a potential minefield,” he says. He recommends that we don’t stay silent over inappropriate behaviour, particularly with regular visitors.

Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

If you are a male and you are reading this ,congratulations: you are a survivor .According to statistics .you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman ,and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman.

There are many reasons for this-typically, men take more risks than woman and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor.

“Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should, ” says Dr. Gullotta, “This is particularly so for the over-40s,when diseases tend to strike.”

Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45,it should be at least once a year.

Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old ma who had delayed doing anything about his smoker’s cough for a year.

“When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer” he says, “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged this life”

According to a recent survey, 95%of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.

“A lot of men think they are invincible （不可战胜的）”Gullotta says “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think” Geez, if it could happen to him.

Then there is the ostrich approach,” some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know, ” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.

“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says .He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.

Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says.” But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater: it is called premature death.”

57.Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage?

A. They are more likely to survive serious diseases today.

B. Their average life span has been considerably extended.

C. They have lived long enough to read this article.

D. They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier live.

58.What does the author state is the most important reason men die five years earlier on average than women?

A. men drink and smoke much more than women

B. men don’t seek medical care as often as women

C. men aren’t as cautions as women in face of danger

D. men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases

59. Which of the following best completes the sentence “Geez, if it could happen to him…’(line2,para,8)?

A. it could happen to me, too

B. I should avoid playing golf

C. I should consider myself lucky

D. it would be a big misfortune

60 What does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by “the ostrich approach”(line q para.9)？

A. a casual attitude towards one’s health conditions

B. a new therapy for certain psychological problems

C. refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved

D. unwillingness to find out about one’s disease because of fear

61. What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men?

A.They may increase public expenses

B.They will save money in the long run

C.They may cause psychological strains on men

D.They will enable men to live as long as women

Passage Two

Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

High-quality customer service is preached(宣扬) by many ,but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done

Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store, but instead will alert their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers-and anyone who will listen.

Store managers are often the last to hear complaints, and often find out only when their regular customers decide t frequent their competitors, according to a study jointly conducted by Verde group and Wharton school

“Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers,” said Paula Courtney, President of the Verde group.” the store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”

On average, every unhappy customer will complain to at least four other, and will no longer visit the specific store for every dissatisfied customer, a store will lose up to three more due to negative reviews. The resulting “snowball effect” can be disastrous to retailers.

According to the research, shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems. ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers.

The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered (塞满了的) shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude salespeople.

During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting（业余兼职的）local police to work as parking attendants. Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty parking spaces.

This guidance eliminated the need for customers to circle the parking lot endlessly, and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space.

Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions.

Most importantly, salespeople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers.

“Retailers who’re responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who aren’t so friendly.” said Professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help.”

Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.

注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答

62. Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?

A Most customers won’t bother to complain even if they have had unhappy experiences.

B Customers would rather relate their unhappy experiences to people around them.

C Few customers believe the service will be improved.

D Customers have no easy access to store managers.

63. What does Paula Courtney imply by saying “ … the shopper must also find a replacement” (Line 2, Para. 4)?

A New customers are bound to replace old ones.

B It is not likely the shopper can find the same products in other stores.

C Most stores provide the same

D Not complaining to the manager causes the shopper some trouble too.

64. Shop owners often hire moonlighting police as parking attendants so that shoppers_____.

A can stay longer browsing in the store

B won’t have trouble parking their cars

C won’t have any worries about security

D can find their cars easily after shopping

65. What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers?

B Hiring of efficient employees

C Huge supply of goods for sale

D Design of the store layout.

66. To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to _________.

A exert pressure on stores to improve their service

B settle their disputes with stores in a diplomatic way

C voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directly

D shop around and make comparisons between stores
