英语A级考试复习提要
⑵连读与辨音。
2、预测、综合判断能力 • 总体来说听力技巧包括听前、听中和听 后的准备、实施过程和相应的预测、记 忆以及综合判断能力。也就是说考生要 具备瞬间获取信息、并能将其储存，最 后经过综合归纳而准确地理解对话和短 文的能力。听力是语言的接受能力，预 测则是语言接受能力中最主要的因素之 一，可以说听力是离不开预测的。
相邻音连续，即当前面一个单词的结尾为辅音字母，而紧 跟其后的单词又是以元音字母开头时，这两个音连读。 例“The program will be on at ten.” 并列连词“or”与其前后的单词连读时，听起来好似/r/。
例“OK, but hurry or we"ll miss the bus.”
四、临场注意事项
1、保持良好的心态 • 由于绝大部分大学生在中学时未能接受充分的听力训 练，结果是同学们对语法和词汇比较熟悉，听力方面 则相应欠缺。加之受方言的影响，英语发音不太标准， 这一切都使得同学们的听力十分薄弱，一遇到听力考 试就心慌，心理负担比较重。由于心里太紧张，考生 往往一开始就有几个单词或句子听不清楚，这时如果 拼命地去回想，下面的内容很有可能也听不清，从而 严重地影响了听的效果。可见控制自己的情绪，全神 贯注地投入到考试中去，是十分重要的。因此克服心 里障碍、增强自信心是取得好成绩的关键之一。
4、有关学科及社会背景知识 • 语言是人们进行交际的手段，社会生活的变化、 科技的普及发展、一国的文化历史传统、生活方 式、地理气候环境以及人们的思维方式都要反映 到语言之中。具备一点背景知识对所听的对话和 短文会有一种熟悉感,一个更深刻的理解，甚至能 弥补语言上的一些不足。我们都知道英汉是两种 截然不同的语言，考生若对西方的社会文化因素 不了解，缺少足够的有关学科知识，只是用我们 所熟悉的思维、逻辑去判断对话或短文就很可能 出错。关注时事，多阅读英文报刊或者借助网络 来加大自己的语言知识储备。像是奥运会、世博 会等等，平时多积累一些专门的名词以及短语表 达。 • She talks like Shakespeare.
英语A级考试复习提要 PPT
• 考试按百分制计分，满分为100分。60分及60分以 上为及格；85分及85分以上为优秀。考试成绩合格 者发给“高等学校英语应用能力考试”相应级别的 合格证书。
英语机考
高等学校英语应用能力考试自2004年开始采 用计算机考试以来，已经逐渐取代传统的纸笔 考试方式。 机考即在计算机网络环境下,通过考试系统的 随机组卷,考生在计算机上完成答题。进行机 考时,每个考场、每位考生的试题都是不同的。
• 熟悉计算机应用 平时应多多操练计算机应用、键盘输入、 英文写作和屏幕阅读等，避免接触新型考 试产生不适应的情况。

语音 ⑴识别音素很重要。
语言信息的表达是通过元音和辅音字母有规律的 组合来实现的。
如元音字母“a”在不同的组合中有多种发音： bake，bad，bald，radar，data。而一个辅音 音素可以有多种辅音字母的组合，如/f/：leaf， laugh，philosophy等。 如果说阅读是凭借字母的组合形式去判断词义的 话，那么听力则主要依声音去确定词的意思。因 此，元音的长、短，辅音的清浊，都对判断有直 接影响。

2012年秋《英语(二)》授课及考试要点
《英语（二）》复习资料语法主要考哪些项目？英语（二）最常考的语法项目包括：动词时态和语态、非谓语动词、虚拟语气、定语从句、名词性从句、状语从句、比较级、语序、主谓一致、强调句、基本句型。
* 最常考的时态：现在完成时、过去完成时、过去时、一般现在时和将来完成时。
* 最常考的非谓语动词：独立结构、动名词作某些动词的宾语、非谓语动词作定语和状语。
* 最常考的虚拟语气：与过去事实相反的虚拟语气的从句和主句。
* 最常考的定语从句：where 引导的定语从句、名词/代词+ of + which引导的定语从句。
* 名词性从句：what，whether 引导的主语或宾语从句、that 引导的同位语从句。
* 状语从句：now that，in that，in case，as，while 引导的状语从句。
哪些词最有可能考单词拼写？严格来说，只要是考纲中包括的词都有可能出现在单词拼写大题中，但是从历年考题可以看出，某些词的命中率要高于其它词，有些词甚至反复考过，这说明考生在背单词的时候还是可以在全面覆盖的基础之上突出重点、提高效率的。
在这里我们不可能一一罗列重要的词汇，下面是我总结的英语（二）常考单词的特点：* 绝大部分是长度在5-8个字母之间的中等难度的词，如：victim，gesture等；* 拼写和读音不完全对称的词，如：dumb，subtle等。
* 个别非常简单、但课文中不是很常见的名词，如：tube.* 从词性上来看，最常考的依次是名词、形容词、动词、和副词。
在复习这些单词时，一定要以考试大纲为准，而不能只背教材后面的生词表。
一方面，教材后面的生词表中包含了不少超刚词，完全不会考到；另一方面，对英语（二）来说，从下册教材生词表中出的单词只占三分之一，不可能涵盖所有要考的内容。
同样在复习时一定要讲究准确性，确保背一个记准一个，而不能只是记个大概，最后写出来每个都差不多但每个都有错。
复习建议针对上述预测，我们如何制定冲刺阶段的复习计划呢？下面是我推荐的三步复习法。
- 1、下载文档前请自行甄别文档内容的完整性，平台不提供额外的编辑、内容补充、找答案等附加服务。
- 2、"仅部分预览"的文档,不可在线预览部分如存在完整性等问题,可反馈申请退款(可完整预览的文档不适用该条件!)。
- 3、如文档侵犯您的权益，请联系客服反馈,我们会尽快为您处理(人工客服工作时间：9:00-18:30)。
听力理解题的解题技巧： 1.做题前的准备 1）保持平静放松的心理状态 2）阅读考卷上的注意事项和答题要求 2.做题过程中 1）读选项，猜内容 2）对于较长的对话短文，一般要播放两或三遍，可以边听边记笔记。 3）大部分听力理解题目，倾向于就第二个说话者提问，所以可重点 听第二个说话者的谈话内容。 4）听到一个或几个生词，不要心慌意乱，可略过去，因为一两个代 词不会影响对整个段落的理解。 3.做题后 应及时检查是否有拼写错误或答题字数超出限制。
语音 ⑴识别音素很重要。
语言信息的表达是通过元音和辅音字母有规律的 组合来实现的。
如元音字母“a”在不同的组合中有多种发音： bake，bad，bald，radar，data。而一个辅音 音素可以有多种辅音字母的组合，如/f/：leaf， laugh，philosophy等。
如果说阅读是凭借字母的组合形式去判断词义的 话，那么听力则主要依声音去确定词的意思。因 此，元音的长、短，辅音的清浊，都对判断有直 接影响。
3、理解短文（或独白）部分是题材熟悉， 情节不太复杂的故事、讲话、叙述、 对话等，如购物、动物介绍、地区及 学校情况介绍等。短文主要考查考生 对文章大意、中心思想、重要细节的 理解与领会，以及根据所获取的相关 信息，对文中的某些细节做出简答， 也有就短文中的某一事实和人物进行 简答等。
三、听力应试能力的培养 1、扎实的语言基本功 • 听力理解技巧是建立在听力理解水平基础上的， 而听力理解水平是通过听力理解能力来体现的，它 包括记忆和回想的能力、选择要点的能力、推断演 绎能力、判断和得出结论的能力以及运用背景知识 的能力。这些能力是从多方面获得的，其中语音、 词汇、语法是基础。语音包括考生本人发音准确， 能辨别同化、强读、弱读、连读、失去爆破等能力。 词汇主要涉及如何处理“生词”的问题，即利用上 下文、同位语猜词的能力和一词多义的辨别能力。 语法主要包括那些最基本的语法现象，如时态、语 态、虚拟语气、比较级、最高级、否定式和说话人 的口气等。语音、语调、词汇、语法是语言的基本 要素，对它们的熟练掌握是打好语言基本功的关键。

听力理解 语法与词汇 阅读理解 翻译 应用文写作
（Practical English Test for Colleges， 简称PRETCO）是由教育部批准成立的高 等学校英语应用能力考试委员会设计的英 语教学－水平考试。这门考试主要考核高 职高专学生以英语为工具、进行日常和一 般业务交际的能力。
2、预测、综合判断能力 • 总体来说听力技巧包括听前、听中和听 后的准备、实施过程和相应的预测、记 忆以及综合判断能力。也就是说考生要 具备瞬间获取信息、并能将其储存，最 后经过综合归纳而准确地理解对话和短 文的能力。听力是语言的接受能力，预 测则是语言接受能力中最主要的因素之 一，可以说听力是离不开预测的。
3、学会用英语思维
• 听的时候尽量避免将每个单词和句子翻译 成汉语，这样做一是浪费时间，二是影响 理解，因为两种语言的结构和思维不尽相 同，不是所有的英语都有相对等的汉语。 在短暂的15秒钟内，既要听，又要理解、 翻译还要进行综合判断，这是不太可能的， 弄不好会影响以后的听力理解。最好的办 法是逐渐培养用英语思维，不但可以节约 时间还可以提高理解力。
相邻音连续，即当前面一个单词的结尾为辅音字母，而紧 跟其后的单词又是以元音字母开头时，这两个音连读。 例“The program will be on at ten.” 并列连词“or”与其前后的单词连读时，听起来好似/r/。
例“OK, but hurry or we"ll miss the bus.”
了解连读的一些基本规律，有利于听力测试中抓 “准”词句，准确理解。
助动词缩略式连读在听力中最普遍，熟悉这种连 读对于正确判断试题的语气和时态十分有用。
例：“If it hadn‟t rained, we would‟ve played tennis.” A.We played only half a game. B.We took the train to Tunis. C.We didn"t play tennis because it rained. D.Ten of us walked in the rain.

【A级】听力理解 （Listening Comprehension 一、基本要求
• 高职高专英语教学大纲指出: 高职高专英语的教学目的 之一是培养学生具有“一定的听的能力”. A级听力旨 在测试考生理解所听对话、会话和简单短文的能力。听 力材料的语速为每分钟120词。共15题,考试时间为15分 钟. • 学生对题材熟悉,句子结构比较简单,基本上没有生词, 播放1-2遍,可以听懂,理解准确率要达到70%以上。每个 问句之后有大约15秒的间隙,要求考生从试卷所给出的 没提四个选择项中选出一个最佳的答案,或者用一个词、 一个短语简要地回答问题。 • 对话、会话和短文以日常生活和实用的交际性内容为主。 词汇限于《基本要求》中的“词汇表”中3400词的范围， 交际内容涉及“交际范围表”所列全部听说范围。
交际范围表：
日常 交际
1.课堂交流 2.日常交际：介绍、问候、感谢、致歉、道别、指路、天气、 学习、爱好、饮食、健康 1.一般涉外活动：迎送、安排日程与活动、安排住宿、宴请 和迎送会、陪同购物、游览和就诊等。 2.一般涉外业务： 1）面试 2）介绍公司、工厂：历史和现状 3）介绍产品：类型、性能、规格、市场等 4）业务洽谈：合作意向、投资意向、签订合同、人员培训、 专家待遇、议价、折扣、佣金、订购、付款方式、交货日期、 保险等 5）主持业务交流会议

机考学生遇到的问题
1.计算机操作技能不熟练（计算机操作、打字 速度等） 2.由于没有足够的考前机考实战演练，机考时 心情更为紧张，时间紧迫感大。 3.长时间机上阅读和答题造成疲劳，影响答题 效果。 4. 在机上不能进行标识，划线，画圈等辅助答 题的操作。 这些方面都会影响考生正常水平发挥。
备考指导：
A是答案；B中的“hour”与“our”发音相同；C 中的“several others”与“every other”发音相 近；D中的“windy days”是为了混淆 Wednesday的。 培养学生较强的音素 测试中迅速捕捉关键词的 发音，从而在选择时排除同、近音词的干扰， 选出正确答案。
⑵连读与辨音。
音的合成连读，即当两个相邻的字母发音相同时，两个音 素合并成一个音素。有时，当一个句子中有多处合成连读 时，乍一听，似乎有些音素被“吃掉”了。 例“He used to like skating but now he prefers skiing.”
语调，是指人们说话时声调(pitch)高低抑扬的变化。ห้องสมุดไป่ตู้
语音语调里含有很多感情成分，情绪成分， 有时还有很多非常微妙的东西，都是用文 字很难以表达的。所以对语音语调是万万 不可掉以轻心的。要认真揣摩里边细微的 变化，掌握语音语调的真谛。
根据现代和当代学者的观点，语调是完全可 以用来实现说话者意图的。
英语中常见的语调模式有升调、降调和降升 调，其中每种又分高低两类。按照语音学家 的观点，降调的意义通常是"肯定"、"明确"和 "完整"的；升调则表示"不肯定"、"不明确"、 "从属"及"意思未完"；降升调表达的含义主要 有"对比"、"保留"、"让步"、"暗示"、"委婉"、 "犹豫"和"反驳"等，它给人的印象是"意犹未 尽"的，全凭听者自己领会其中含意 ；高调通 常显示出说话者情绪的饱满或激昂；而低调 表现的是情绪的低落或冷淡等。
• 计算机考试是语言测试的发展趋势，考生 应以“平常心”对待机考，树立以“不变 应万变”的态度扎实地学习英语基础知识， 注重培养英语综合应用能力。英语基本功 和语言应用能力是决定成功的关键因素。 • 熟悉计算机应用 平时应多多操练计算机应用、键盘输入、 英文写作和屏幕阅读等，避免接触新型考 试产生不适应的情况。
