测试项目、内容、题型及时间分配表：
根据《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求(试行)》(以下简称《基本要求》),通过课程学习,学生在听、说、读、写方面应达到下列要求:
I 、听力技能
《基本要求》对学生在听的技能上作下列要求:
1)理解所听材料的主旨或要点；
2)理解具体信息；
3)理解所听材料的背景说话人的关系等；
4)推断所听材料的含义。
A级备考策略：英语听力技能内容包括理解和速度两个方面。听力理解能力的提高要以语言知识为基础:一、语音正确；二、扩大词汇量；三、语法知识熟练；其次文化背景知识和生活常识的掌握有助于对不同语境和场景中发生的事件和前因后果进行推断。
最后,必须具备一定的实践技能:一、熟悉经常出现的问题形式并培养根据选项内容对问题做出期待的能力；二、培养对听力材料中出现的有关时间、地点、人物、数字、事件等关键词的敏感能力；三、培养在未完全听懂听力材料情况下根据有限的关键词做出正确推断的能力；四、培养快速记录和记忆的能力。
II、阅读技能
A级：能阅读中等难度的一般题材的简短英文资料，理解正确。在阅读生词不超过总词数3%的英文资料时，阅读速度不低于每分钟70词。能读懂通用的简短实用文字材料，如信函、技术说明书、合同等，理解正确。
据此，《基本要求》对学生在阅读技能上作下列要求：
1）理解文章的主旨和要点；
2）理解文章中的具体信息；
3）根据上下文推断生词意思；
4）根据上下文做出简单的判断和推理；
5）理解文章的写作意图、作者的见解和态度等；
6）就文章内容做出结论；
7）快速查找有关信息。
备考策略：英语阅读技能涉及阅读速度和理解准确度两个方面，两者缺一不可。阅读技能的提高首先要以语言知识为基础：一、词汇量。认知《基本要求》中所列全部词汇，二、语法知识。熟练运用语法规则也是理解阅读材料的关键。其次，广泛阅读各种题材，特别是科技、商贸和业务交际方面的材料，有助于养成良好阅读习惯，并消除某些阅读材料造成的陌生感及减轻由此带来的理解困难。
最后，必须具备一定的实践技能：一、避免以主观意愿或常识来考虑问题，所有结论都应建立在合理的逻辑推导和阅读材料中的事实和证据上（提高准确度）；二、培养对问题中关键词的辩识，并据此寻读阅读材料，确定问题出处的能力（提高速度）；三、培养在不完全理解阅读材料时根据问题中关键词与材料中关键词的对应做出正确推断的能力（提高准确度）。
III、翻译技能
A级：能借助词典将中等难度的一般题材的文字材料和对外交往中的一般业务文字材料译成汉语。理解正确，译文达意，格式恰当。翻译生词不超过总词数5%的实用文字材料时，笔译速度为每小时250个英语单词。
据此，《基本要求》对学生在翻译技能上作下列要求：
1）正确翻译一般语句，基本符合汉语习惯；
2）正确掌握被动语式的译法；
3）正确掌握倍数的译法；
4）正确掌握定语从句的译法；
5）正确掌握长句的译法。
备考策略：英汉翻译涉及英汉语间的转换，要求掌握一定量的词汇
和句型的表达法和翻译法，能正确翻译一般语句和被动句式、倍数、定语从句以及英语长句。翻译技能的提高首先要以语言知识为基础，应掌握《基本要求》中所列全部词汇和语法知识，并且能够在词汇语法的基础上熟练运用翻译技巧表达原意。当然，正确翻译的前提是正确理解，然后在理解的基础上注重译文的表达。要做到这两点，在一定基本知识的基础上，要特
别注意英汉语常见表达的不同之处和相似之处（如语序的不同，修饰关系的不同等）以达到翻译的连贯性和流畅性。因此英译汉时，必须抓住原文全句的中心思想，区别主次，根据逻辑顺序等按汉语习惯重新加以组合，以确切表达原意，而不拘泥于原文的形式。要想真正译好原文不仅需要扎实的功底，良好的训练，还要在平时多种材料的阅读当中多多积累经验，正确理解，注意使用不同的英汉表达法和翻译技巧以达到翻译技能的要求。
IV、写作技能
A级：能就一般性题材，在30分钟内写出80——100词的命题作文；能填写和模拟套写简短的英语应用文，如填写表格与单证，套写简历、通知、信函等词句基本正确，无重大语法错误，格式恰当，表达清楚。
备考策略：模式：写作格式——包含提示内容——添加连贯语句谋篇布局时，一定要考虑各类常见应用文如文案类、招贴、宣传类、书信类等的格式。正文写作时，要认真解读提纲或提示并将其主要内容包含进去，但又不能采用逐字逐句翻译的方法，因而需要添加适当的连贯语句以使文章通顺达意
