Questions 1--5
I came across an old country guide the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country, and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one's own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside Nowadays a superficial traveler in rural Eng1and might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction of village commerce, but its vigor is still remarkable. Our local grocer's shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news whi1e doing their shopping, instead of queueing up anonymously at a supermarket. And the proprietor knows well that persona1 service has a substantial cash value. His Prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age pensioner who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them.. The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce. Most of the village shopkeepers I know, at any rate, are decidedly individualist in their ways. For example, our shoemaker is a formidable figure: a thick-set, irritable man whom children treat with marked respect, knowing that an ill-judged word can provoke an angry eruption at any time. He stares with contempt at the pairs of cheap, mass-produced shoes taken to him for repair: has it come to this, he seems to be saying, that he, a craftsman, should have to waste his skills upon such trash? But we all know he will in fact do excellent work upon them. And he makes beautiful shoes for those who can afford such luxury.
1.The services available in villages nowadays are normally_________.
(A) fewer but still very active
(B) less successful than earlier but managing to survive
(C) active in providing food for the village and tourists

(A) there is a wide range of goos available
(B) goods not in stock can be obtained whenever they are needed
(C) special attention is given to the needs of wealthier customers

Questions 6--10
Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to have their attention diverted by a sign that read—A MOMENT'S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS.
This self-defeating warning has now been removed, but its message is still very much to the point. Almost anything can cause an accident. Apart from momentary inattention, it might be a minor miscalculation, a sudden fit of coughing, a bop on the head with a teddy-bear from a child in the back seat, an argument with the wife, fog, falling asleep at the wheel, bad eyesight, a glaring sun, ice, rain, wind, or snow—a1l these can make the difference between a tragic hit and a lucky miss. Although human error plays its part, it is by no means the only cause of accidents. There must be some cause other than simple human error. Road construction plays its part: researchers have found that it is not at the obvious danger spot—sharp corners, cross-roads, narrow lanes —that accidents happen. It is on those roads where there are subtle visual traps, unexpected changes in the shape or surface of the .road, or even insufficient or badly-placed signs. Wherever there is a 'black spot', it means that something is seriously wrong with the road. Why else did the careless driving of so many come out at that particular spot? What the law requires when you have an accident There are, firstly the legal formalities of exchanging names and addresses with others involved in an accident and, in certain cases, informing the police. However, you are required by law to stop after an accident only if :l Somebody other than yourself in or outside your car has been injured.2 A vehicle not your own has been damaged.3 Any horse 、cow 、donkey 、sheep, or dog has been injured. It has been said that if a driver continues unaware of causing injury he must be acquitted. But the courts are wary of that excuse. Furthermore, the driver himself must wait at the scene; it is not enough for him to leave his chauffeur or a friend to attend to the boring formalities while he goes off on more important business. If you have been involved in an accident and have stopped, you must give your name, address, and registration number to anyone who has a good reason for requesting it; this means anyone affected by the accident. If these formalities are complied with it is not necessary to wait for the arrival of the police. It is, however, often wise to do so. The police are expert at drawing plans, taking measurements and photographs and gathering other evidence. In your absence the police could be given a biased story against you; and you yourself migh wam to point out certain features of the accident to the police.
6. A MOMENT'S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS' (para.l) is a self defeating Warning because______.
(A) it will make a driver wait at the scene
(B) it will distract the driver's attention B y n e s t z h a o @h o t m a i l .c o m
(C) it is too difficult to understand
(D) it is too long to be read by drivers
7. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
(A) After an accident you have to give your name to anyone who asks for it.
(B) Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to ignore the sign.
(C) Road construction problems can be a major cause of accidents.
(D) A 'black spot' is a part of the road where there are no signs.
8. 'Subtle visual traps' (para.3) are ______.
(A) places where the police hide in order to trap motorists
(B) parts of the road which are deceptive to the driver's eye
(C) danger spots such as sharp corners and cross-roads
(D) places where there are man road-signs
9. As required by the law, you must stop after an accident, if ______.
(A) you have been injured by somebody.
(B) your car has been damaged.
(C) you have injured somebody else
(D) you have witnessed the accident
l 0. After an accident it is recommended that you wait for the police because _________.
(A) it is against the law to drive off
(B) they have to examine your licence and insurance certificate
(C) they have to noto the position of your car
(D) somebody may give them a false account of the accident
Questions 1l--15
Just as word oil scarcity is already causing international conflicts, so will the scarcity of water reach a point where wars will break out. The statistics on water are already scary. Already well over l billion people suffer from water shortages and 30 countries get more than a third of their water from outside their borders—an obvious source of disputes and instability especially as the climate changes. The whole of the sub-Saharan Africa, most of South Asia and western South America are most at risk. The reason: the rapid melting of glaciers due to global warning. At the meeting of the coalition of 27 Internaional charities last month, Gareth Thomas, minister of Internatonal Development of the British government, wrote to prime minister Gordon Brown demanding action to ensure fresh water to l.l billion people with poor supplies. "If we do not act now, the reality is that water supplies may become the subject of international conflict in the years ahead. We need to invest now to prevent us having to pay that price in the future", Thomas said. The department warned that two-thirds of the word's population will live in water-stressed countries by 2025.The coalition of charities has appealed for a global effort to bring running water to the developing world and supply sanitation to a further 2.6 billion people. It said that international investment is needed now to prevent competition for water to destabilize communities and escalate into conflicts. Tackling the water and sanitation crisis is essential if the Millennium Development Goal Call to Action is to be a success. Otherwise, progress on health, education, and environment sustainability will be undermined. Each year 443 million school days are lost globally to diarrhea and l .8 million children die from these diseases. In fact, it is often not realized that investing in sanitation and water brings the greatest public health gains, more than any other single development intervention and delivers enormous economic gains. Already, some Asian countries have put tackling these issues at the forefront of their development efforts. The Millennium Development Goals aim to halve the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water by 20l5. To achieve that urgent action needs to be taken. There is no doubt that climate change is potentially the most important factor affecting water shortage. This, B y n e s t z h a o @h o t m a i l .c o m
compounded with a growing and increasingly urbanized global population will put pressure on food and water. For a temperature rise of 2 C, which is likely to happen by 2050, there would be a catastrophic 2 to 3 billion people suffering from water stress.
l l. What does the author think is primarily responsible for water shortages in the world ?
(A) Climate chance. (B) Border dispute. (C) World competition. (D) Political instability
l2. According to Gareth Thomas, _______ is the price we have to pay for water shortage if we do not take immediate action.
(A ) sanitation crisis (B) international conflict (C) global warming (D) over-urbanization
l3. What can the coalition of charities do to prevent competition for water ?
(A) Appealing for international investment.
(B) Bringing running water to the developing world.
(C) Supplying sanitation to billions of water-stressed people.
(D) Enhancing world environment sustainability
l4. The Millennium Development Goals aim to_______ in the near future.
(A) tackle the water and sanitation crisis
(B) yield economic gains as well as public health gains
(C) make progress on health, education and environment sustainability
(D) provide more people with clean drinking water
15. According to the passage, what will add to water shortage ?
(A) Oil scarcity. (B) A drop in temperature (C) A growing population. (D) Reduced food supply
Questions 16.-20
Parenting was never a piece of cake in any age, but probably the greatest source of headache for parents today in Japan is the ubiquitous cellphone . Today, 96 percent of senior high school students and 58 percent of junior high school students have cellphones. Even among primary school children, 3l percent have them. By enabling youngsters to stay connected with their parents at all times, these gadgets help to keep children safe. For the kids, they are fun toys, too, that let them text to or chat with their pals whenever they want, play Internet games, and enjoy blogging for their own profile and diary purposes. But terrible dangers lurk beneath all that fun and convenience. Every year about l,000 children become involved in rape and other crimes through dating service sites. Violent and obscene images are only a couple of clicks away. On gakkoura saito, or so-called unofficial school websites where kids can post whatever they want, anyone can fall victim to brutal ''verbal mob lynching" by their peers. Amid today's urgent need to address these problems, the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding has issued a report. In response to the Prime Minister's recent comments---“I cannot think of one good reason for (letting youngsters) have a cellphone" and "I would like everyone to discuss whether cellphones are really necessary:" ----the report recommended that "parents, guardians, schools and all parties concerned should cooperate among themselves, so that elementary school pupils and junior high school students do not have a cellphone unless there is a compelling reason for them to do so. "But since many parents believe in the necessity of cellphones as a safety tool, it is unrealistic to expect everyone to do away with them. Rather, it would make more sense for guardians, schools and cellphone companies to consider, from their respective standpoints, how cellphones should be used by children. We suggest that parents sit down with their offspring and talk about their “house rules” for cellphone use. For instance, set the hours allowed, so the kids won't be texting to their friends late into the night, remind them never to give away personal information online, and so on.But there are limits to what individual families can do, and this is where we also suggest that schools should educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use. One way to go about this, for instance, may be for each class to set its own rules on sending e-mail messages. B y n e s t z h a o @h o t m a i l .c o m
l6. The word "ubiquitous" (para.l) is closest in meaning to ________.
(A) updated (B) sophisticated(C) prevalent (D) obsolete
l7. Many parents let their kids have cellphones because they ________.
(A) want their kids to keep up with the IT World
(B) can't think of anything better for their kids to have fun
(C) don't want their kids to miss 'what other kids have
(D) believe cellphones enable them to stay connected
l8. Which of the following is NOT the potential risk kids may face when using cellphones?
(A) Involvement in rape-related crime
(B) Exposure to violent and obscene images
(C) Falling victim to brutal curses.
(D) Being tracked down by unofficial school websites.
l9. The report issued by the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding______.
(A) recommended minimizing the use of cellphones among kids
(B) suggested setting “house rules” for cellphone use
(C) urged parents to remind their children about ce1lphone use
(D) pressed schools to educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use
20. What is the main idea of the passage?
(A) Parents neglect to protect their kids from cellphones.
(B) Parenting with cellphones is a source of headache.
(C) Cellphones should be banned from campus.
(D) Kids need lessons on the uses of cellphones
Question 21--25
Extract I
A stylish dining room with cream walls and curtains and black carpet as perfect foil to an eclectic array of furniture. Many of the pieces are classics of their particular era, and demonstrate how old and new designs can be happily mixed together The prototype chair in the foreground has yet to prove its staying power and was thought up by the flat's occupant. He is pictured in his living room which has the same decorative theme and is linked to the dining room by a high Medieval-styled archway where was once a redundant and uninspiring fireplace.
Extract 2
Old bathrooms often contain a great deal of ugly pipework in need of disguising. This can either be done by boxing in the exposed pipes, or by fitting wood paneling over them.As wood paneling can be secured over almost anyting---including oid ceramic tiles and chipped walls--- is an effective way of disguising pipework as well as being an attractive form of decoration. The paneling can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal.An alternative way to approach the problem of exposed pipes is to actually make them a feature of the room by picking the pipework out in bright strong colours.
Extract 3
Cooking takes second place in this charming room which, with its deep armchairs, is more of a sitting room than a kitchen, and the new Rayburn stove as a good choice, as it blends in well with the old brick and beamed fireplace. There are no fitted units or built-in appliances, so all food preparation is done at the big farmbouse table in the foreground; and the china, pots and pans have been deliberately left on show to make an attractive display. What about the kitchen sink? It's hidden away behind an archway which leads into a small scullery. Here there's a second cooker and--- in the best farmhouse tradition--- a huge walk-in larder for all food storage.
2l. Why is the colour of the carpet described in Extract l a particular advantage? B y n e s t z h a o @h o t m a i l .c o m
(A) It livens up the colour in an otherwise dull room.
(B) It provides a contrast to the furniture.
(C) It blends in with the tones of the furniture.
(D) It gives the room a classical style.
22. What is the purpose of the archway described in Extract l ?
(A) To hide an unattractive fireplace.
(B) To give the room an exotic eastern style.
(C) To join the dining room with the sitting room
(D) To make room for the unusual seating arrangements.
23. Extract 2 is probably taken from ________.
(A) an architect's blueprint (B) a plumber’s manual
(C) a home renovation magazine (D) an advertisement for new bathrooms
24. Extracts 2 and 3 deal with _________.
(A) old and classic furniture (B) attractive colour schemes
(C) cheap improvement schemes (D) home decoration
25. Compared with Extract l the room described in Extract 3 appears to _______.
(A) be more comfortable (B) be more colourful
(C) contain more furniture (D) possess a greater variety of style
Questions26--30
Large parts of the world have not enjoyed the remarkable global progress in health conditions that have taken place over the past century. Indeed, millions of deaths in impoverished nations are avoidable with prevention and treatment options that the rich world already uses. This year, l0 million children will die in low-and middle-income countries. If child death rates were the same as those in developed countries this figure would be lower than 1 million. Conversely, if child death rates were those of rich countries just 100 years ago, the figure would be 30 million. Today's tools for improving health are so powerful and inexpensive that health conditions could be reasonably good even in poor countries if policy makers spent even relatively little in the right places.Recent research for the Copenhagen Consensus identifies several highly cost-effective options that would tackle some of the planet's most urgent health problems. The most promising investment is in tuberculosis treatment. Some 90 percent of the l.6 million tuberculosis deaths in 2003 occurred in low-and middle-income countries. Because tuberculosis affects working-age people, it can be a trigger of household poverty .The cornerstone of control is prompt treatment using first-line drugs, which doesn't require a sophisticated health system. Spending $l billion on tuberculosis treatment in a year would save l million lives. Because good health accompanies higher levels of national economic welfare in the long run, the economic benefits are worth $30 billion.The second most cost-effective investment is tackling heart disease. Heart disease might not seem like a pressing issue for poor nations, but it represents more than a quarter of their death toll. Measures to reduce risk factors other than smoking--high intake or saturated animal fat, obesity, binge drinking of alcohol, physical inactivity , and low fruit and vegetable consumption-- have had little success. Treating acute heart attacks with inexpensive drugs is, however, cost-effective. Spending $200 million could avert several hundred thousand deaths, yielding benefits that are 25 times higher than costs.The third option is prevention and treatment of malaria. A billion dollars would expand the provision of insecticide-treated bed-nets and facilitate provision of highly effective treatment. This would save more than a million child deaths and produce economic benefits worth $20 billion.The fourth alternative for policymakers is to focus on child health initiatives. The best measures are familiar ones expanding immunization coverage, promoting breastfeeding, increasing the use of simple and cheap treatments for diarrhea and childhood pneumonia, and so on.Even if the costs of all these initiatives were two or three times higher than we B y n e s t z h a o @h o t m a i l .c o m
estimate, these efforts would still provide amazing opportunities to reduce health inequality and do good in the world.
26. Over the past century, the child death rates have _________.
(A ) climbed steadily in impoverished countries
(B) dropped remarkably in developed countries
(C) fluctuated wildly in low-income countries
(D) remained stable in middle-income countries

(A) $20 billion. (B) $25 billion. (C) $30 billion.' (D) $35 billion
30. What would be the best title for this passage ?
(A) Best Options for Tackling World’s Killer Diseases.
(B) Cost-effective Investment in Impoverished Nations.
(C) Health Inequality between Developed and Developing Countries.
(D) Earth’s Killer Diseases: Tuberculosis, Heart Attack and Malaria...

Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.
In a normal recession, the to-do list is clear. Copies of Keynes are dusted off, the banks lower interest rates, the president and Congress cut taxes and hike spending. In time, purchasing, production and loans perk up, and Keynes is placed back on the shelf. No larger alterations to the economy are made, because our economy, but for the occasional bump in the road, is fundamentally sound. This has been the drill in every recession since World War II. Republicans and Democrats argue over whose taxes should be cut the most and which projects should be funded, but under public pressure to do something, they usually find some mutually acceptable midpoint and enact a stimulus package. This time, though, don’t expect that to be the end of the story-----because the coming recession will not be normal, and our economy is not fundamentally sound. This time around, the nation will have to craft new versions of some of the reforms that Franklin Roosevelt created to steer the nation out of the Great Depression. SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST (2) (30 minutes) Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.
钟表上的秒针一下一下地移动，每移动一下就是表示我们的寿命已经缩短了一部分。再看看墙上挂着的可以一张张撕下的日历，每天撕下一张就是表示我们的寿命又缩短了一天。因为时间即生命。 没有人不爱惜他的生命，但很少人珍视他的时间。如果想在有生之年做一点什么事，学一点什么学问，充实自己，帮助别人，使生命成为有意义，不虚此生，那么就不可浪费光阴。这个道理人人都懂，可是很少人能积极不懈地善为利用他的时间。 B y n e s t z h a o @h o t m a i l .c o m
沪江英语绿宝书之 2011年3月上海中级口译考试 听力原文及解析 SECTION 1: LISTENING TEST (45 minutes) Part A: Spot Dictation Directions:In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE. My topic for today?s lecture is communication, culture and work. When most people use the word culture, they think of people from different national backgrounds. National cultures certainly do exist and they play an important role in shaping the way people communicate, but there are other dimensions of culture too. Within a nation, regional differences can exert a powerful influence on communication. New Yorkers and Alaskans may find one another?s styles of behaving so different that they might as well be from different countries. Race and ethnicity can also shape behavior. So can age. The customs, values and attitudes of a twenty-year-old girl may vary radically from those of her parents who were raised in the 1960s or her grandparents who lived through the Great Depression and World War Ⅱ. Still, other differences can create distinctive cultures. Gender, sexual orientation, physical disabilities, religion and socio-economic background are just a few. All of these factors lead to a definition of culture as a set of values, beliefs, norms, customs, rules and codes that lead people to define themselves as a distinct group, giving them a sense of commonality. It?s important to realize that culture is learned, not innate.A Korean-born infant adopted soon after her birth by American parents and raised in the United States will think and act differently than his or her cousins who grew up in Seoul. An African American who grew up in the inner city will view the world differently than he or she would if raised in the suburbs or in a country like France where African heritage has different significance than it does in the United States. The norms and values we learn as part of our cultural conditioning shape the way we view the world and the way we interact with one another. In short, culture has such an overwhelming influence on communication that famous anthropologist Edward Hall once remarked, …culture is communication and communication is culture.?

上海教师资格证考试面试真题（一） 2014年教师资格国考笔试已如期结束，教师资格证国考面试即将拉开，为了能够不断拓宽考生的思维，为了能够帮助众多考生顺利入围，中公教师考试网将依据教育改革的热门话题来与大家一起探究教师资格考试的本质思维。 一：践行素质教育的理念 素质教育的内涵为面向全体学生的发展、促进学生的全面发展与个性发展、不断培养学生的创新力与思维力。教育改革中提及的要促进教育优先发展、公平发展，正是素质教育的具体体现。素质教育理念，作为教育的总体理论与精髓，作为教资面试的必考点，考生需引起足够重视。而且，在教资结构考试中，总会出现与此相关的题目，它主要是通过一定的现象来测查，如“针对教师暴力对待学生一事，你怎么看”，再如，“很多孩子晚上做作业到很晚，导致第二天在课堂上睡觉，你是如何看待这一现象”。 对于这样的题目，作答思路很简单：开头首段提出观点，表明自己的态度，点明本质(透过现象看本质);中间部分论证观点，或是论证其背景，或是论证其原因，或是论证其造成的重大影响(包括意义与危害);落脚点为落实观点，主要从教育相关部门进行建议的补充与列举。下面，我们就上面引用的两道题目来进行详细列举，供考生参考。 真题1：针对教师暴力对待学生一事，你怎么看 【提出观点】暴力对待学生一事，实属违法行为，与职业道德相背离。考生在表态时可以暴力对待学生一事带来的影响来论述。 《中华人民共和国义务教育法》第四章明确规定“教师应该尊重学生的人格，不得歧视学生，不得对学生实施体罚、变相体罚或是其他侮辱人格尊严的行为，不得侵犯学生合法权益”。然而，近年来，老师暴力对待学生事件却频频在网上曝光，引起了社会各界的广泛关注。老师的职责本在于传道授业解惑，学生的调皮与叛逆确实会让做老师的我们伤透脑筋，甚至无奈叹气，但以暴力对待孩子，伤害学生自尊自信甚至让他们从此有了心理阴影的事件，是与教师的为人师表、关爱学生的职业道德相背离的，是违法行为。 【论证观点】论述其产生的原因，可采用深层原因与直接原因相结合的方式论述。 深层原因：不打不成器的教育观念根深蒂固。不论是教师还是家长，面对调皮与叛逆小孩的最快解决办法就是体罚，因为他们认为棍棒的力量是无穷的。 直接原因：一方面，部分老教师甚至较为偏远山区的教师，面对现今个性鲜明的学生不能够充分懂得素质教育下的个性发展的真实内涵，而是视小孩个性于眼中钉，视素质教育于纸上言，依旧采用过去陈旧老式的教育方式，致使不仅伤害了学生的自尊，而且让小孩脆弱的心灵蒙上了阴影。

Words and their stories EAGER BEAVER An eager beaver is a person who is always willing to do and is excited about doing what is expected of him. Suppose, for example, that a teacher tells his students they each must solve one hundred math problems before coming to school the next day. The children complain about so much homework. But one student does not protest at all. That student is an eager beaver. He loves to do math problems, and does not mind all the homework. The expression is said to have come from the name of a hard-working animal---the beaver. Beavers are strange-looking creatures. They spend a lot of time in the water, building dams to create little lakes or ponds. They use their huge teeth and work hard to cut down trees, remove branches and put them across streams. They use their tails to pack mud on the branches to make the dams solid. Few other animals work so hard. Historians say the beaver had an important part in the settlement of North America. There were hundreds of millions of beavers when European settlers first arrived. The settlers put great value on the fur of beavers. In fact, for two

上海高中《牛津英语》教材与《新世纪英语》教材的对 比分析 摘要教材在英语教学中起着重要作用, 是英语课程资源的核心部分。进入新世纪, 我国启动了新一轮的课程改革, 课程改革的关键是教材。随着新课程标准的颁布, 教材由“一纲一本”向“一纲多本”转变, 越来越多的教材涌入市场。面对不同 品种的教材,如何评价和分析各种教材的优劣就成为当今教师面临的一个挑战。上海高中普遍使用的两套英语教材 ?? 《英语》 (牛津上海版) 和《英语》(新 世纪版) 就是为了满足新一轮课改的要求而改编和编写的。本论文以《普通高中 英语课程标准》为依据, 参照国内外教材评价的理论, 旨在对上海高中使用的两 套英语教材本身和使用效果进行对比和分析, 从而发现两套教材各自的优势和不 足之处,以便上海高中英语教师在使用教材的过程中可以对两套教材进行整合,
扬长避短,让教材更好地为教学服务,最终达到提高英语教学质量的目的。本论文共分为五个部分。第一章“引论”部分主要介绍了研究背景、研究目的与意义、研究内容与方 法以及本论文的框架结构。第二章“理论框架与文献综述”部分阐述了教材的定义和作用、教学大纲、 国内外外语教材评价的理论和国内外教材对比的研究现状。第三章“两套教材的对比研究”主要是对两套教材进行宏观和微观对比分析。 宏观对比分析了教材编写的宏观设计指导原则、教材编写的主框架结构和单元课 程设置模式。微观对比分析主要从语言知识、语言技能、学习策略和文化意识四 方面来对比,重点对比分析了两套教材的词汇、语法、听、说、读、写等方面。第四章“两套教材的效果对比分析”主要从教师调查、学生调查和两套教材 使用效率对比分析来看两套教材的使用效果。第五章“研究结果与思考”通过前面几章对两套教材的对比分析、调查和实 验总结出两套教材的优势和不足之处, 并提出一些建议, 供教材编写者和使用两 套教材的教师参考。 关键词 : 牛津教材,新世纪教材,对比分析vi ABSTRACTAs a core of curriculum resources, English teaching materials play an important
上海中级口译考试全 攻略
上海中级口译考试全攻略（笔试+口试） 两周前风尘仆仆地考完中级口译，常有人问我考得怎么样。我的答复总是：美女很多+非常紧张。 在参加考试之前，我常听到两种说法：中级口译太简单了，根本是没用的证，不如去考高口；中级口译太难了，只有高手才能拿到证。这两种说法都没错，对不同英语程度的人来说，中级口译的地位也不尽相同。我当初想到考中级口译并不是为了那一纸证书，因为我对于口译兴趣很小。想到报名完全是为了提高听力。上海交大去年做的一项调查显示，65%的同学认为经过口译训练，听力水平得到了大幅提高。当时我在《外国语》上看到这篇论文，立刻想到通过中级口译提高我可怜的听力。复习之后我还发现，口译对拓宽词汇量尤其是生活词汇作用巨大。 下面我就来谈谈怎么准备中级口译。 首先你需要买中级口译的教材，一共五本《中级听力教程》《中级阅读教程》《中级口语教程》《中级翻译教程》《中级口译教程》，但是，这五本中只需要买三本，那就是《中级翻译教程（第三版）》，《中级听力教程(第3版)》，《中级口译教程(第3版)》，另外两本千万别买，和考试根本没关系，除了这三本，我还推荐买《中级口译真题解析》，《中高级口译口试备考精要(附MP3)--新东方大愚英语学习丛书》，《英语口译资格考试分类词汇精编》。 书买好了，就可以开始准备了。
在准备之前，先确定打算何时考中级口译。中级口译一年两次，一次在3月笔试（同年5月初口试），另一次在9月（同年11月初口试），笔试部分考点较多，可以去上海中级口译官网查找，在哪个城市报名就在哪个城市考笔试，但是你也可以网上报名，网上报名必须在上海考试。注意报名时间：9月的考试在6月报名，3月的考试在12月报名，一定要随时关注官网的通知。 中级口译的笔试满分250分，149.5分以上通过笔试。一旦通过笔试，你就获得了接下来四次参加口试的机会（即两年有效期），我推荐在9月参加笔试，因为暑假时间较多，而寒假有春节的干扰，复习不充分，很多人都会放弃3月的考试。 下面我简要介绍一下中级口译的考试内容及复习方法。 笔试部分共三部分，即听力、阅读和笔译。 听力占90分，包含听写填空，段对话及长对话，听译。 听写填空，英文叫spot dictitation, 给400词左右的文章，抠去20个空，每个空需要填进去1~4个单词，文章只读一遍。这部分最重要的就是练习和预测了。反复的练习能够迅速提高正确率，而做这一题型的技巧就是预测。拿到一份试题，迅速阅读这篇文章，预测每一个空的词性和含义，最容易做错或漏听的是两个空格靠得很近的时候以及空格在一行行首的时候，在这时就要提前标出这些空，重点关注。
