2004 Task Three: Making a comment on a given topic Directions: Please read the following passage carefully and then express your views on the given event.You will have four minutes for preparation.The time limit for your comment is three minutes.China’s Employment Market Challenging by More Graduates
With the expansion of enrollment in China’s higher education institutions that began in 1999, the employment market is now flooded with university graduates.Despite these huge increases in the number of students, statistics show that the percentage of China’s population that has received higher education is only around 5 percent of the nation’s total, lagging far behind the developed countries.Undoubtedly, as more and more people receive higher education, today’s university and college students will face increasingly intense competition in the market.2005 Suggestions for the 2008 Beijing Olympics As soon as the curtain came down on the 28th Olympic games in Athens, the world’s focus shifted east to Beijing.The Olympics can be seen as away for a nation to exhibit itself to the world.Beijing is now busy preparing itself to hold the Olympic Games.What suggestions can you offer to the Olympic organizing committee to ensure a successful 29th Olympic Games? 2005 Should firecrackers and fireworks be allowed during the Spring Festival? In many big cities, firecrackers and fireworks have been banned for a number of years because of safety and environmental concerns.Recently, however, some people have suggested that the government should lift the ban during the Spring Festival because, in their opinion, firecrackers and fireworks are an integral part of the traditional Chinese New Year celebration and, without them, the Spring festival lacks a true festival atmosphere.Some cities have thus lifted the ban but many others have not.Suppose you were the mayor of a big city, where people’s views on this issue could not be reconciled.What do you think the government should do? Please give reasons to support your ideas.2006
Pets or not? Nowadays more and more city residents like to keep pet and dogs at home.However, some people think pet breeding should be forbidden or at least discouraged in urban areas.What is your opinion? Why? 2007
Low Salaries for College Graduates In recent years, with competition in the job market getting more and more intense, college graduates are lowering their salary expectations in order to gain employment opportunities.Statistics show that one third of graduates are willing to accept a salary of about 1,000 yuan RMB per month if they cannot find better jobs while two-thirds are not.Do you think college graduates should take low-paying jobs when satisfactory jobs are not available? Why or why not? 2008 The “Car Free Day” Campaign in China
Every September 22 is a “Car Free Day” in many countries around the world.Chengdu, capital of southeast China’s Sichuan Province, pioneerd China’s first “Car Free Day” on October 14, 2000.So far, over 100 Chinese cities have responded positively to the “Car Free Day” idea.Residents of these cities are urged to take public transport, ride bikes or walk instead of using their cars.Do you think this “Car Free Day” campaign is meaningful? 2009 Should theWeek-long Labor Day Holiday be Resumed? Since 1999, Chinese people have enjoyed three week-long holidays(or so-called “golden weeks”): the Lunar New Year, the Labor Day holiday, and the National Day holiday.However, in 2008, the government shortened the Labor Day Golden Week to athree-day holiday and added three new holidays to celebrate the Qingming, Duanwu, and Autumn Festivals.Recently, there have been calls for resuming the week-long Labor Day holiday.Do you think the Labor Day Golden Week should be resumed? 2010
Talents Show Fever in China From Super Girls to Happy Boys, from Hero to China’s got Talent, talent shows are getting increasingly popular among China’s national and local TV programs.These shows feature ordinary Chinese---schoolteachers to housewives, teenagers to senior citizens---and showcase their talents in singing, dancing, doing magic or imitating celebrities, and some of them can become stars overnight.However, the talent shows are also considered vulgar and as having negative influence on society.Some people even suggest they should ne banned or at least be discouraged.What is your opinion? Why? 2011
The future of nuclear power Since the Fukushima nuclear accident caused by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in March 2011, the safety of nuclear power plants and the development of nuclear energy have raised global concerns.Opposition to atomic reactor construction has mounted throughout the world.Switzerland froze plans to build new nuclear plants.Germany raised questions about its nuclear future.Yet some people insist the development of the global nuclear power industry should not be slowed despite its safety risks.Do you agree? Why? 2012 Task Three:Making a comment on a given topic.Directions: Please read the following passage carefully and then express your views on the given event.You will have four minutes for preparation.The time limit for your comment is three minutes
A Gold Medal’s Worth in China
关键词:真题,四、六级,考试,捷径
广大考生如何备考英语四、六级考试?巧用历年真题就是最好捷径之一。那么, 该如何利用真题来增强知识积累, 提高作战技巧, 取得最佳复习效果呢?且看:
一、英语四、六级真题的重要性
真题的重要性不言而喻。它们具有以下特点:
(一) 权威性与稳定性
真题, 是指真正在历次四、六级考试中出现过的原题。真题是命题组根据全体考生人才培养目标、现有学生知识水平及国际化要求综合研究、斟酌、裁定的结果, 严格意义上讲, “全真模拟题”与真题是有一定差距的, 不能等同于真题。因此, 真题较其他模拟题测试水平相对稳定, 具有最强的权威性。
(二) 针对性与目的性
熟悉历年真题题型与分值分布, 掌握出题思路、方向、重点, 全面把握复习要点, 做到有的放矢, 提高复习效率。做历年真题, 总结错题、检测自己的薄弱环节。更重要的是做完真题后, 先整理和分析错题类型, 然后根据自己整理的错题知识点, 重点强化基础知识的复习。
(三) 检测性与指导性
用真题最能检验考生真实知识水平。真题经典的语法试题、优美的常用句子, 以及整齐的句型都可以作为背诵的题材。比如反复练习听力部分一箭双雕, 一方面迅速提高听力, 另一方面提高口语交际能力。比如词汇, 要弄懂学透, 也许今年出现在阅读中, 明年就能在翻译和完型上见到;比如含金量很高的句式、句型, 可以“转移”使用到写作部分。
二、备考中真题的使用策略
若能认真研究历年的考试真题, 了解出题思路、考点、特点, 把基础知识融会贯通, 对提高考试成绩会有立竿见影的效果。那么, 怎样才能使一套真题“物尽其用”呢?可从题型词汇、听力、阅读、完型填空、写作与翻译等方面一一进行研究。
(一) 词汇部分
学习目标:熟悉和掌握真题中的所有新、旧词汇。
真题考过的高频词汇, 学习要求是精益求精, 融会贯通, 与四、六级词汇背诵相结合, 每套至少研究半个月, 边记单词边做真题。重点记忆四、六级词汇的核心含义即真题中考过的含义。态度要认真, 做题时遇到不认识的单词和词组先按照考试的情境要求做出自己的答案 (哪怕是有“蒙”的成分) , 最好用圈圈做好标示。事后核对答案, 分析错误的原因。记住典型的例句, 认真总结弄懂弄透, 然后逐个记忆。词汇复习需要艰涩的反复强化过程, 万事开头难, 贵在坚持。
(二) 听力部分
学习目标:学习听力和增进口语表达双管齐下, 齐头并进。
听力部分测试是四、六级的考试重点, 最令考生们头痛。听力备考需要长时间积累。大家要根据自身具体情况, 做完第一遍真题后要在熟悉各个知识点之后, 仔细研究出题的形式, 看老师出题的思路。
听力备考可以分为三个循序渐进的阶段:第一, 将没有听清楚明白或者“蒙”的题目标注出来;第二, 仔细研究没有听懂或听清楚的地方, 仔细分析、核对第一次标注的答案;第三, 对照原文一五一十地查漏补缺, 既可以锻炼听力, 亦可提高口语能力, 一举两得。
(三) 阅读部分
学习目标:多做练习, 掌握出题角度与特点, 提高应试技巧, 做到“无招胜有招”。
第一, 做题。阅读能力的提高是潜移默化的过程, 每天坚持做3~5篇。做第一遍时严格按考试时间要求完成, 以便能掌握自己的做题速度, 感受考试时的压力。全部细读琢磨几轮历年真题, 多朗读、记忆文章内容, 可以增加语感。第二, 认真核对答案。精读文本, 把每个单词、每句话都弄懂。第三, 关注考试细节。题目中时间、地点、人物、数量词等都应该立即做出标记, 这些词都是文章的路标, 很可能就是出题点, 根据这些路标很容易找到题目在文章中对应的答案位置。
(四) 综合和完型填空题型
学习目标:了解和掌握所有选项含义, 培养语感更重要。
综合部分完形填空基本上是考语法和固定搭配的。对历年完形填空常见的语法和搭配进行总结, 近义词进行比较、理解和记忆, 同时要搞清楚选择答案的原因, 错误选项为什么错误。严格按照时间做完练习之后, 反复研究真题, 平均5~6天研究一套, 并且自己要制订计划, 经常复习, 提高语感。
(五) 写作部分
学习目标:了解作文架构, 背诵经典美句。
第一, 注重积累。平时做阅读真题和读一些英文材料的时候, 记住一些比较好的句型和句式, 或是一些关键词的特殊用法。第二, 字体优美。一手字迹清楚、书法优美的英文书法会留给阅卷老师良好的印象。这需要平时多加练习。第三, 审题要认真, 千万不要跑题, 语言也要保持连贯性, 语法层次、段落构思科学准确。
(六) 翻译部分
学习目标:把握考试题眼, 提高猜题率。
Europe is not a gender-equality heaven.In particular, the corporate workplace will never be completely family—friendly until women are part of senior management decisions,and Europe,s top corporate-governance positions remain overwhelmingly male .indeed,women hold only 14 percent of positions on Europe corporate boards.
The Europe Union is now considering legislation to compel corporate boards to maintain a certain proportion of women-up to 60 percent.This proposed mandate was born of frustration. Last year, Europe Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action. Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goal of 40 percent female board membership. But her appeal was considered a failure: only 24 companies took it up.
Do we need quotas to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate Ladder fairy as they balance work and family?
“Personally, I don’t like quotas,” Reding said recently. “But i like what the quotas do.” Quotas get action: they “open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling,” according to Reding, a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.
I understand Reding’s reluctance-and her frustration. I don’t like quotas either; they run counter to my belief in meritocracy, government by the capable. Bur, when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal, it does look as if a fairer world must be temporarily ordered.
After all, four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as the US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top position— no matter how much “soft pressure ” is put upon them. When women do break through to the summit of corporate power--as, for example, Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook—they attract massive attention precisely because they remain the exception to the rule.
If appropriate pubic policies were in place to help all women---whether CEOs or their children’s caregivers--and all families, Sandberg would be no more newsworthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.

Dear Lisa,I’m glad to hear from you. Now let me tell you something about my favorite song.What a Beautiful Jasmine is my favourite classical folk song. It is one of the classical folk songs around the world. The song came from Xianhuadiao, which has been sung for centuries. In 1942, He Fang, who was 14 yesrs old, made up the song. The song has been played in some important occasions, such as when Hong Kong and Macao returned to China, the song was played. I always listen to the song in my free time. The song is sweet and soft, it can make me relaxed. I hope that you can enjoy the beautiful song.Best wishes!Yours,
The rough guide to marketing success used to be that you got what you paid for. No longer. While traditional “paid” media – such as television commercials and print advertisements – still play a major role, companies today can exploit many alternative forms of media. Consumers passionate about a product may create “owned” media by sending e-mail alerts about products and sales to customers registered with its Web site. The way consumers now approach the broad range of factors beyond conventional paid media.
Paid and owned media are controlled by marketers promoting their own products. For earned media , such marketers act as the initiator for users‘ responses. But in some cases, one marketer’s owned media become another marketer‘s paid media – for instance, when an e-commerce retailer sells ad space on its Web site. We define such sold media as owned media whose traffic is so strong that other organizations place their content or e-commerce engines within that environment. This trend ,which we believe is still in its infancy, effectively began with retailers and travel providers such as airlines and hotels and will no doubt go further. Johnson & Johnson, for example, has created BabyCenter, a stand-alone media property that promotes complementary and even competitive products. Besides generating income, the presence of other marketers makes the site seem objective, gives companies opportunities to learn valuable information about the appeal of other companies’ marketing, and may help expand user traffic for all companies concerned.
The same dramatic technological changes that have provided marketers with more (and more diverse) communications choices have also increased the risk that passionate consumers will voice their opinions in quicker, more visible, and much more damaging ways. Such hijacked media are the opposite of earned media: an asset or campaign becomes hostage to consumers, other stakeholders, or activists who make negative allegations about a brand or product. Members of social networks, for instance, are learning that they can hijack media to apply pressure on the businesses that originally created them.
If that happens, passionate consumers would try to persuade others to boycott products, putting the reputation of the target company at risk. In such a case, the company‘s response may not be sufficiently quick or thoughtful, and the learning curve has been steep. Toyota Motor, for example, alleviated some of the damage from its recall crisis earlier this year with a relatively quick and well-orchestrated social-media response campaign, which included efforts to engage with consumers directly on sites such as Twitter and the social-news site Digg.
31.Consumers may create “earned” media when they are
[A] obscssed with online shopping at certain Web sites.
[B] inspired by product-promoting e-mails sent to them.
[C] eager to help their friends promote quality products.
[D] enthusiastic about recommending their favorite products.
32. According to Paragraph 2,sold media feature
[A] a safe business environment.
[B] random competition.
[C] strong user traffic.
[D] flexibility in organization.
33. The author indicates in Paragraph 3 that earned media
[A] invite constant conflicts with passionate consumers.
[B] can be used to produce negative effects in marketing.
[C] may be responsible for fiercer competition.
[D] deserve all the negative comments about them.
34. Toyota Motor‘s experience is cited as an example of
[A] responding effectively to hijacked media.
[B] persuading customers into boycotting products.
[C] cooperating with supportive consumers.
[D] taking advantage of hijacked media.
35. Which of the following is the text mainly about ?
[A] Alternatives to conventional paid media.
[B] Conflict between hijacked and earned media.
[C] Dominance of hijacked media.
1.1 社会经济快速发展的呼唤
温家宝总理在2006年7月的第三次教育工作座谈会上提出, 发展职业教育, 就要把学校学习和劳动实践结合起来, 动脑和动手结合起来, 知识和技能结合起来, 今天的学习和明天的就业结合起来。当前, 外资企业遍布珠江三角洲, 外贸进出口规模进一步扩大, 对外语人才和“英语+专业”的复合型人才的需求极为旺盛。然而, 目前中职英语教学与专业课教学相脱节, 学生重专业, 轻文化, 重技能, 轻理论。因此, 这种现象与经济的发展迫切要求中职教学能够服务行业, 服务于学生未来的发展相违背。
1.2 中职学生职业发展的需求
目前, 中职生毕业后大多数从事基层工作, 很多一线岗位对英语口语要求较高, 如商务、贸易、服务、旅游等行业。伴随着中职英语教学内容和教学模式的改革, 大多中职英语教材以“听说”内容为主, 将英语口语的学习与训练列为英语教学的主要目标, 英语教学模式形成了以培养“语言实践能力”为重心的特色。然而, 很多职业学校的教学评价体系仍然是以笔试为主的旧有体系, 也无法适应中职英语教师教学及中职学生就业的需要。因此, 加大英语教学改革是中职生职业发展的必然需求。
2. 中职英语口试“分层自选”模式的理论基础
2.1. 加德纳的多元智能理论
加德纳认为, 每一个拥有健全大脑的人都具有程度不同、相对独立的智力, 由于智力在个体身上不同的组合方式, 导致了个体之间的智力差异和不平衡发展。这一智力理论与当前的教育理论相统一:倡导在教学中尊重学生的个性、注意个体的在学习因素上的差异;把承认学生间的智力差异和个体差异、学生自身发展的不均衡性和整体性以及学生智力的不同表现方式作为教育的着手点, 然后把培养学生解决实际生活中的问题、提高自身的素质作为教育的着眼点。多元智能理论为我们在教学中运用分层自选的评价模式提供了理论基础。
2.2. 中职英语教学大纲的要求
中等职业学校英语课程教学大纲规定:要在九年义务教育基础上, 帮助学生进一步学习英语基础知识, 培养听、说、读、写等语言技能, 激发和培养学生学习英语的兴趣, 提高学生学习的自信心, 帮助学生掌握学习策略, 养成良好的学习习惯, 提高自主学习能力。在常规的英语口语教学中, 有些教学目标可以用常规的语言测试形式进行评价与检测, 如语音、语调等。但对于口语基础千差万别的中职口语教学如何评价, 传统的考试手段和方法无能为力。这需要我们探索一套符合中职生学习现状的评价模式。
3. 英语口语教学评价模式国内外研究现状
3.1 形成性评价模式
布莱克和威廉 (Black and William, 1998) 在他们关于课堂评价的评论中提出:形成性评价是指, 在评价发生的教学环节中, 信息被用来调节教学。美国的詹姆斯波帕姆在《教师课堂教学评价指南》一书中结合教学实践对形成性评价进行了新的研究。David Nunan (澳) Tasked-based Language Teaching (任务型语言教学) 第7章探讨了以任务为基础的评价的一些问题, 包括间接评价和直接评价, 水平测试和成就测试。形成性评价是在一种开放的、宽松的和非正式的氛围中进行的。但是, 形成性评价存在着“一刀切”的想象, 中职学生内部的“学习差异性”仍然存在。
3.2 终结性评价
终结性评价是我们常用的评价方式, 是以考试成绩来评定学生学习能力和教学质量, 是在一个学习阶段末对学生学习结果的评价。它强调对学生外显语言行为的评价, 它评价的是学习内容中易于量化的方面, 例如, 知识和技能等。评价结果多以精确的百分制来体现。这种评价是在一种正式的、封闭的和严肃的氛围中进行的, 易使学生产生焦虑感和紧张感。这样的学习评价显然不易激发学习英语的积极性, 也大大挫伤和遏制了教学的积极性, 不利于教育教学的进步和发展。
4. 中职英语口语“分层自选”模式的实施策略
4.1. 分层自选评价模式的具体形式
基于中职生英语基础总体水平低, 学生之间英语差较大的学情, 我校英语教师试探索了一套口语教学评价模式---分层自选。所说的分层有两种内涵。一是口试内容分层, 即口试内容难易度分高、中高、中、中低、低五个层次, 每个学期五层的具体内容都有所不同。比如第一学期:高层次的内容是根据具体情境编写3分钟会话。中高层次是背诵一篇不少于2分钟的会话;中层次内容是运用所学的词汇编写15个句子。中低层次的内容是背诵所学的单词50个;低层次是熟读100个单词。二是每个层次的最高分值随不同。从高到低分别为100分, 95, 90, 85, 80。分值的差异能够有效激发学生学习的积极性。自选指的是学生根据自己的实际情况自选考试内容, 学生在愉悦和轻松的氛围中完成口语测试
4.2. 分层自选模式的实施
口试模式改革要求学生首先学习新的评价形式的具体内容。新生入学后, 要对所学习内容和评价模式进行详细的了解, 为今后的英语整体有效教学奠定基础。教师在日常的教学中注意运用评价模式进行分层次教学, 对不同的学生要有不同的要求, 并且必须达标。口试过程包括报名、准备期和考试期三个阶段。报名要求学生在考试前20天是由任课教师统计并汇总。根据汇总的结果编排考场, 不同层次的学生由不同的老师在不同的考场负责考试。考试 (编写对话除外) 准备期为一周, 学生在准备期根据所选择的考试层次准备考试。考试成绩以喜报、汇报、提醒三种形式进行反馈, 任课教师要对所教班级按层次进行分析, 并根据不同的评价结果情况在以后的教学中调整教学方向。
5. 中职英语口试“分层自选”评价模式的成效
5.1 新的评价模式激发了学生英语口语学习的热情
新的评价模式施行后, 学生英语口语学习的兴趣得到大大的提升。不同的题材给予学生丰富的想象空间, 让学生大胆开口说英语, 学生学习英语口语的兴趣也会慢慢浓厚。在各种场合中, 学生也学会了很多日常用语表达方式。数据显示:学生课堂参与口语活动的数量比以前提高三十个百分点。学生敢于考口, 敢于展示, 敢于在活动中积极的提高自己。在2011年校技能节上, 全校生成功举办了英语口语技能大赛, 充分展示了学生的英语风采。我校代表队代表衢州市参加2011年生英语口语综合能力竞赛上获得团体三等奖, 并获得优秀才艺展示奖。
(注:1001班为财会专业;1002班为计算机专业;1003班为幼师专业;1004班为服装专业1005班为动漫专业;1006班为数控专业)
5.2. 新的评价方式极大调动了广大英语教师的教学激情
分层自选口试模式是以新课程改革理念为基础, 以培养职场能力为核心, 从课程改革、教学方法探讨为抓手展开研究, 以评价为载体, 构成口语教学全新的评价体系。通过口语教学改革, 为教师创设了多层次的展示教学能力的平台, 强化了中职英语教师教育教学以及科研的创新意识。教师们在省、市教育行政部门举办的“优质课”、“说课”和“三优”评比活动, 均取得优异成绩。成长了一批中青年骨干教师, 如杨慧、吴菲、毛芳、王利等优秀教师;吴菲和毛芳老师分获市中职英语优质课比赛一等奖, 壮大了师资队伍。2011年度, 我校教师1人参编高教社中职规划教材练习册编写、4人英语口语教学评价方面的论文在国家级正规刊物发表, 相关论文发表获市级以上奖励的3人次;教师获省说课比赛一等奖1人、省级二等奖1人、教师辅导学生获省级团体三等奖2人次, 市级一等奖2人次。我校教师在英语教学科研尤其是英语口语教学教学和科研上取得了突破性的进展。
6. 结论
分层自选模式体现了我校英语教学改革的思想和理念。在教学评价改革中, 我们英语教师要转变了学科本位思想, 加强了“文化课为专业学习服务”的意识, 明确了专业技能对英语口语技能的要求, 使英语教学能反映出职业教育的要求及体现职业教育的特色。在英语教学中, 分层自选给予他们实现自我进步的平台, 也从整体上促进了学生英语口语学习的积极性, 提升了他们的就业竞争力。从教师的角度来讲, 分层自选模式提升广大教师英语教学的积极性和主动性, 促进了教师的成长。实践证明, 口语教学评价运用“分层自选”适合中中职生现有的学习现状, 并且能有效提高中职生英语口语能力, 激发其英语学习热情, 具有有效性和可行性。
