高等学校英语应用能力考试AB级介绍1.什么是英语应用能力AB级考试？全国高等学校英语应用能力考试（PRETCO）简称英语应用能力考试,分为AB两个级别。

B级为高职高专学生应达到的最低标准要求，B级标准略低于A级，是过渡性要求。

AB级的能力要求相当于大学英语三级水平，考试一般在每年上半年6月、下半年12月各举行一次（四六级考试的第二天）。

2．英语应用能力AB级证书有用吗？AB级和四六级一样属于国家统一命题考试。

区别仅在于四六级考试对象为本科院校的在校生，而AB级以大专院校在校生为对象。

通过此考试者，国家统一颁发证书。

此考试在全国范围已推行多年，我省这几年大面积铺开，并得到社会的广泛认可，已成为用人单位招聘大专生的一个必要条件。

3.怎样做出一个适合自己英语能力水平的选择？四级考试大纲规定学生应掌握的词汇量约为4500以上，而AB级的词汇量要求分别为3400和2500。

另外，四六级尤其强调词汇量，而AB级则注重基础的语法结构和应用能力。

我们现在所使用的高职高专英语教材注重语法结构和应用能力的培养，紧扣AB级考试的基本要求，这就成为我们参加AB级考试的优势。

4.我能通过AB级吗？只要努力，一定能过。

我校大英部在坚持培养同学们的英语应用能力的同时，将加强同学们的应试能力。

首先在课堂上增加习题练习；其次利用课外时间开设英语应用能力AB级考试辅导班；在AB级考试前，对参加A B级考试的同学进行集中辅导，全面提高学生的水平。

只要努力，一定能过。

This saves them considerable time and money—especially if a candidate lives out of town.Don’t take these interviews lightly. It is important to prepare for a telephone interview just as you would do foe a regular interview.The employer will normally call or e-mail you in advance to set up an interview time. If possible, arrange for the interview to be held over a landline phone(座机), as it is more reliable than a mobile phone. Make sure that children, pets and other sources of interruption will be out of the room. Keep a glass of water nearby.Phone interviews can often last a half-hour to an hour and be sure to have your resume in front of you. Do your best to be personal, but don’t overdo it by, say, trying to tell a joke.36. Screening interviews over the phone is becoming more common because ________.A) It is simple and fair B) it is easier to prepareC) it seems more friendly D) it saves time and money37.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.If you’re looking for ways to improve your products or services, customers can be one of your most valuable sources of information and market research. So why not take it a step further and visit some of them?Ideally, you want to do this in person, so you may need to offer you customers something for their time. They may be pleased that you take their opinion seriously, and they may also enjoy getting a chance to help influence your products or services. If you customers are in different places, you could make such visits part of your business travel to get a wider range of responses.One expert recommends that you make your customers feel comfortable during the visits. You’re not trying to sell anything through these meetings, so plan to spend 80 percent of your time listening.Don’t try to lead your customer to give responses that you reallywant to hear. Instead, ask questions that focus on the customer’s experience, such as whether they got what they were hoping for and what they found difficult or enjoyable.41. According to the passage, your customers can be very helpful in ________.A) expanding your business B) reducing your production cost C) selling your products or services D) improving your products or services42.

According to the expert, the way to make your customers comfortable during the visit is ________.A) to promise them the best priceB) to explain your sales plan to themC) to spend most of your time listeningD) to tell them the advantages of your products45. The focus of your questions during the visit should be on ________.A) the development o your business B) responses that you want to hear C) the customer’s experience D) your future sales planTask 3Directions: Read the following passage. After reading it, you should complete the information by filling in the blanks marked 46 to 50 (in no more than 3 words) in the table below.This reminder(提示) is intended to offer guidance for using e-mail. This is not a “how-to”document, but it is rather a document that offers advice to prevent you from being cheated or troubled by e-mails.Studies show that knowledge workers spend about 20 hours a week doing e-mail and one-third of that e-mail is useless. Still worse, 70% of this e-mail gets handled within six minutes of arrival and the average worker is interrupted every three minutes. As a consequence, there is a cost to our organizations. While we can’t control what we receive from the outside, we can make some progress from the inside. Please read this paper and take action by following its instructions. Many thanks go to Earl Hacker (CIO. WBB Consulting, Inc.) for providing some of this information from an internet site.Task 4Directions:The following is a list of terms used in an Application Form for Import/Export of Articles for Personal Use (进出境自用物品申请表).
