通过几年教学第一线的感受和在B级考试辅导过程中所总结的经验所得，现把其中的B级题型作为例子，将此种考试的试卷分析和答题技巧进行分析和总结。

二、影响B级通过率的因素(一)学生入学英语基础差在中学时，由于对不感兴趣或者畏难情绪影响，导致词汇量极少，语法规则不懂，更谈不上听说读写能力的提高。

(二)目标的缺失和职业规划的迷茫使学生自主学习成为难事。

在校期间，学生有很多自由分配的时间，对英语学习的畏难情绪就让他们一步步放弃学习，认为过级考试学了也考不过，考过了也没用。

(三)教师的教学态度也影响学生的学习教师看到学生的学习现状及学习态度，教学情绪就不太高涨，就会引起学生学习缺少激情，进入恶性循环。

三、英语B级考试各部分内容解析全国高等学校英语应用能力B级考试是以《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求》为依据，测试语言知识、语言技能、一般性语言内容、与涉外业务有关的应用性内容。

You should makethe correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheetwith a single line through the centre.There is no denying that students should learn something about how computers work, just as we expect them at least to understand that the internal combustion engine(内燃机) has something to do with burning fuel, expanding gases and pistons (活塞) being driven. For people should have some basic idea of how the things that they use do what they do. Further, students might be helped by a course that considers the computer’s impact on society. But that is not what is meant by computer literacy. For computer literacy is not a form of literacy(读写能力) ; it is a trade skill that should not be taught as a liberal art.Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two distinct activities. A case might be made that the competent citizens of tomorrow should free themselves from their fear of computers. But this is quite different fromsaying that all ought to know how to program one. Leave that to people who have chosen programming as a career. While programming can be lots of fun, and while our society needs some people who are experts at it, the same is true of auto repair and violinmaking.Learning how to use a computer is not that difficult, and it gets easier all the time as programs become more “user-friendly”. Let us assume that in the future everyone is going to have to know how to use a computer to be a competent citizen. What does the phrase “learning to use a computer” mean? It sounds like “learning to drive a car”, that is, it sounds as if there is some set of definite skills that, once acquired, enable one to use a computer.In fact, “learning to use a computer” is much more like “learning to play a game”, but learning the rules of one game may not help you play a second game, whose rules may not be the same. There is no such a thing as teaching someone how to use a computer. One can only teach people to use this or that program, and generally that is easily accomplished.36. In the second paragraph “violin-making” is mentioned to show that ________.A) our society needs experts in different fieldsB) violin-making requires as much skill as computer programmingC) people who can use computer don’t necessarily have to know computerprogrammingD) programming a computer is as interesting as making a violin37. Learning to use a computer is getting easier all the time because ________.A) programs are designed to be convenient to usersB) programming is becoming easier and easierC) programs are becoming less complicatedD) programs are becoming readily available to computer users38. To be the competent citizens of tomorrow, people should ________.A) learn to use a computer by acquiring a certain set of skillsB) be aware of how the things that they use do what they doC) try to lay a solid foundation in computer scienceD) understand that programming a computer is more essential than repairing a car39. According to the author, the phrase “learning to use a computer”( Line 3, Para. 3 )means learning _________.A) a set of rulesB) the fundamentals of computer scienceC) general principles of programmingD) specific programs40. What is the author’s purpose in writing in this passage ? It is ________.A) to explain the concept of computer literacyB) to stress the impact of the computer on societyC) to illustrate the requirements for being competent citizens of tomorrowD) to emphasize that computer programming is an interesting and challenging job Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements a re numbered 41 through 45.In the latter part of the 20t h century, child labor remains a serious problem in many parts of the world. Studies carried out in 1979, the International Year of the Child, showed that more than 50 million children below the age of 15 were working in various jobs often under dangerous conditions. Many of these children live in underdeveloped countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Their living conditions are crude and their chances for education minimal. Frequently, these families lack the basic necessities of life—adequate food, decent clothing and shelter, and even water for bathing.In some countries industrialization has created working conditions for children that are comparable to the worst features of the 19t h century factories and mines. In India, for example, some 20, 000 children work 16-hour days in match factories.Child-labor problems are not, of course, limited to developing nations. They occur wherever poverty exists in Europe and the United States. The most important efforts to eliminate child-labor abuses throughout the world come from the International Labor Organization (ILO), founded in 1919 and now a special agency of the United Nations. The organization has introduced several child-labor conventions among its members, including a minimum age of 16 years for admission to all work, a higher minimum age for specific types of employment, compulsory medial examinations. It depends on voluntary obedience of member nations.41. Where do child-labor problems become the most serious?A) In some parts of Asia.B) In the latter part of the 20th century.C) In the poorest and backward parts of the world.D) In some parts of Latin America.42. What does the word “match” mean in the last sentence in Para. 2?A) It refers to a game.B) It is a piece of wood.C) It means the person who is equal in skills.D) It is a contest.43. Why did children below 16 go to work?A) Because they wanted to earn some pocket money.B) Because they had to support their families.C) Because their parents obliged them to do that.D) Because they were anxious to get the chance to receive education.44. Which of the following is included in the UN child-labor conventions?A) Children have the medical check-up at least twice a year.B) Children are not permitted to work at night.C) Children over 16 are allowed to work.D) Children are provided the chances to receive compulsory education.45. Which of the statement is NOT true about the International Labor Organization?A) ILO was founded in1919.B) ILO had no right to force other members to obey the UN conventions.C) ILO called on UN members to obey conventions.D) ILO devoted all the time to dealing with child-labor problems.Task 3Directions: After reading the following passage, you are required to complete the outline below it (No. 46 through No. 50 ). You should write your answersbriefly on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.If you are interested in getting the best deal when you buy a car, you should follow these few simple steps. First, decide exactly how much money you can spend on the car, and determine whether you want a full-sized car, a compact, or asub-compact. Next, read some consumer and automotive magazines to get the facts about the different cars that are available within your price range. Now you are ready to go battle with the car salesman. If you have done the proper amount of research on the car that you are interested in, the salesman will not be able to tell you anything about the car that you do not already know. This means that he will be forced to talk about the price of the car right away. This is the most important stage of car-buying for most people. Do not assume that the price the salesman gives you is the final figure. The first price he offers is usually a few hundred dollars higher than the lowest price he is able to accept. After he gives you a price, offer to buy the car on the spot for a price a few hundred below what you intend to pay for the car. This usually forces the salesman to drastically reduce his price. If he does not reduce it enough to satisfy you, visit another dealer and follow the same procedure. Also, be sure to tell the second dealer about the price offered by the first dealer. This will force him to offer a lower price. If you follow these steps, and go to enough car dealers, you will be sure to get best possible deal.Task 4Directions: The following a re some signs.
