Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1In recent years, there has been a steady assault on salt from the doctors: salt is bad for you ¾ regardless of your health. Politicians also got on board. “There i s a direct relationship,” US congressman Neal Smith noted, “between the amount o f sodium a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory disorders, stroke and ev en early death.”Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning t o feel the salt scare has gone too far. “All this hue and cry about eating salt i s unnecessary,” Dr. Dustan insists. “For most of us it probably doesn’t make mu ch difference how much salt we eat.” Dustan’s most recent short-term study of 15 0 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. O f the hypertensive subjects, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did exper ience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to its previous level when salt was reintroduced.“An adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population,” notes Dr. John H. Laragh. “So a re commendation that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense.”Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable “moderation” in s alt consumption. For the average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 of a teaspoon. The equivalent of one to two grams of this salt allowance would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table.Those with kidney, liver or heart problems may have to limit dietary salt, if thei r doctor advises. But even the very vocal “low salt” exponent, Dr. Arthur Hull H ayes, Jr. admits that “we do not know whether increased sodium consumption causes hypertension.” In fact, there is growing scientific evidence that other factors m ay be involved: deficiencies in calcium, potassium, perhaps magnesium; obesity (mu ch more dangerous than sodium); genetic predisposition; stress.“It is not your enemy,” says Dr. Laragh. “Salt is the No. 1 natural component o f all human tissue, and the idea that you don’t need it is wrong. Unless your doc tor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up.”51. According to some doctors and politicians, the amount of salt consumed[A] exhibits as an aggravating factor to people in poor health.[B] cures diseases such as stroke and circulatory disorders.[C] correlates highly with some diseases.[D] is irrelevant to people suffering from heart disease.52. From Dr. Dustan’s study we can infer that[A] a low-salt diet may be prescribed for some people.[B] the amount of salt intake has nothing to do with one’s blood pressure.[C] the reduction of salt intake can cure a hypertensive patient.[D] an extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone.53. In the third paragraph, Dr. Laragh implies that[A] people should not be afraid of taking excessive salt.[B] doctors should not advise people to avoid salt.[C] an adequate to excessive salt intake is recommended for people indisease.[D] excessive salt intake has claimed some victims in the general population.54. The phrase “vocal ... exponent” (line 2, para. 4) most probably refers to[A] eloquent doctor.[B] articulate opponent.[C] loud speaker.[D] strong advocate.55. What is the main message of this text?[A] That the salt scare is not justified.[B] That the cause of hypertension is now understood.[C] That the moderate use of salt is recommended.[D] That salt consumption is to be promoted.Text 2Few people doubt the fundamental importance of mothers in child-rearing, but what do fathers do? Much of what they contribute is simply the result of being a second adult in the home. Bringing up children is demanding, stressful and exhausting. T wo adults can support and make up for each other’s deficiencies and build on each other’s strengths.Fathers also bring an array of unique qualities. Some are familiar: protector and role model. Teen-age boys without fathers are notoriously prone to trouble. The pa thway to adulthood for daughters is somewhat easier, but they must still learn fro m their fathers, in ways they cannot from their mothers, how to relate to men. The y learn from their fathers about heterosexual trust, intimacy and difference. They learn to appreciate their own femininity from the one male who is most special in their lives. Most important, through loving and being loved by their fathers, the y learn that they are love-worthy.Current research gives much deeper¾and more surprising¾insight into the father’s role in child-rearing. One significantly overlooked dimension of fathering is play. From their children’s birth through adolescence, fathers tend to emphasise play more than caretaking. The father’s style of play is likely to be both physically stimulating and exciting. With older children it involves more teamwork, requiring competitive testing of physical and mental skills. It frequently resembles a teac hing relationship: come on, let me show you how. Mothers play more at the child’s level. They seem willing to let the child direct play.Kids, at least in the early years, seem to prefer to play with daddy. In one study of 2 -year-olds who were given a choice, more than two-thirds chose to play with their father.The way fathers play has effects on everything from the management of emotions to intelligence and academic achievement. It is particularly important in promoting s elf-control. According to one expert, “children who roughhouse with their fathers quickly learn that biting, kicking and other forms of physical violence are not ac ceptable.” They learn when to “shut it down.”At play and in other realms, fathers tend to stress competition, challenge, initia tive, risk-taking and independence. Mothers, as caretakers, stress emotional secur ity and personal safety. On the playground fathers often try to get the child to s wing ever higher, while mother are cautious, worrying about an accident.We know, too, that fathers’ involvement seems to be linked to improved verbal and problem-solving skills and higher academic achievement. Several studies found that along with paternal strictness, the amount of time fathers spent reading with the m was a strong predictor of their daughters’ verbal ability.For sons the results have been equally striking. Studies uncovered a strong relati onship between fathers’ involvement and the mathematical abilities of their sons. Other studies found a relationship between paternal nurturing and boys’ verbal in telligence.56. The first paragraph points out that one of the advantages of a family with both parents is[A] husband and wife can share housework.[B] two adults are always better than one.[C] the fundamental importance of mothers can be fully recognised.[D] husband and wife can compensate for each other’s shortcomings.57. According to paragraph 3, one significant difference between the father’s andmother’s role in child-rearing is[A] the style of play encouraged.[B] the amount of time available.[C] the strength of emotional ties.[D] the emphasis of intellectual development.58. Which of the following statements is true?[A] Mothers tend to stress personal safety less than fathers.[B] Boys are likely to benefit more from their fathers’ caring.[C] Girls learn to read more quickly with the help of their fathers.[D] Fathers tend to encourage creativeness and independence.59. Studies investigating fathers’ involvement in child-rearing show that[A] this improves kids’ mathematical and verbal abilities.[B] the more time spent with kids, the better they speak.[C] the more strict the fathers are, the cleverer the kids.[D] girls usually do better than boys academically.60. The writer’s main point in writing this article is[A] to warn society of increasing social problems.[B] to emphasise the father’s role in the family.[C] to discuss the responsibilities of fathers.[D] to show sympathy for one-parent families.Text 3World leaders met recently at United Nations headquarters in New York City to disc uss the environmental issues raised at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. The heads of state were supposed to decide what further steps should be taken to halt the decli ne of Earth’s life-support systems. In fact, this meeting had much the flavour of the original Earth Summit. To wit: empty promises, hollow rhetoric, bickering betw een rich and poor, and irrelevant initiatives. Think U.S. Congress in slow motion.Almost obscured by this torpor is the fact that there has been some remarkable pro gress over the past five years ¾ real changes in the attitude of ordinary people i n the Third World toward family size and a dawning realisation that environmental degradation and their own well-being are intimately, and inversely, linked. Almost none of this, however, has anything to do with what the bureaucrats accomplished in Rio.Or didn’t accomplish. One item on the agenda at Rio, for example, was a renewed e ffort to save tropical forests. (A previous U.N.-sponsored initiative had fallen a part when it became clear that it actually hastened deforestation.) After Rio, a U.N. working group came up with more than 100 recommendations that have so far gone nowhere. One proposed forestry pact would do little more than immunise wood-export ing nations against trade sanctions.An effort to draft an agreement on what to do about the climate changes caused by CO2 and other greenhouse gases has fared even worse. Blocked by the Bush Administr ation from setting mandatory limits, the U.N. in 1992 called on nations to volunta rily reduce emissions to 1990 levels. Several years later, it’s as if Rio had nev er happened. A new climate treaty is scheduled to be signed this December in Kyot o, Japan, but governments still cannot agree on limits. Meanwhile, the U.S. produc es 7% more CO2 than it did in 1990, and emissions in the developing world have ri sen even more sharply. No one would confuse the “Rio process” with progress.While governments have dithered at a pace that could make drifting continents impa tient, people have acted. Birth-rates are dropping faster than expected, not becau se of Rio but because poor people are deciding on their own to limit family size. Another positive development has been a growing environmental consciousness among the poor. From slum dwellers in Karachi, Pakistan, to colonists in Rondonia, Brazi l, urban poor and rural peasants alike seem to realise that they pay the biggest p rice for pollution and deforestation. There is cause for hope as well in the growi ng recognition among business people that it is not in their long-term interest to fight environmental reforms. John Browne, chief executive of British Petroleum , boldly asserted in a major speech in May that the threat of climate change could n o longer be ignored.61. The writer’s general attitude towards the world leaders meeting at the U.N. i s[A] supportive.[B] impartial.[C] critical.[D] optimistic.62. What does the author say about the ordinary people in the Third Worldcountries?[A] They are beginning to realise the importance of environmentalprotection.[B] They believe that many children are necessary for prosperity.[C] They are reluctant to accept advice from the government.[D] They think that earning a living is more important than natureconservation.63. What did the U.N. call on nations to do about CO2 and other greenhouse gases i n 1992?[A] To sign a new climate treaty at Rio.[B] To draft an agreement among U.N. nations.[C] To force the United States to reduce its emissions.[D] To cut the release of CO2 and other gases.64. The word “deforestation” in paragraph 3 means[A] forest damage caused by pollution.[B] moving population from forest to cities.[C] the threat of climate change.[D] cutting large areas of trees.65. Which of the following best summarises the text?[A] As the U. N. hesitates, the poor take action.[B] Progress in environmental protection has been made since the RioSummit.[C] Climate changes can no longer be ignored.[D] The decline of earth’s life-support systems has been halted.Part BIn the following article some paragraphs have been removed. For Questions 86 - 90, choose the most suitable paragraph from the list A - F to fit into each of the nu mbered gaps. There is one paragraph which does not fit in any of the gaps.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.From her vantage point she watched the main doors swing open and the first arrival s pour in. Those who had been at the head of the line paused momentarily on entry, looked around curiously, then quickly moved forward as others behind pressed in. Within moments the central public area of the big branch bank was filled with a chattering, noisy crowd. The building, relatively quiet less than a minute earlier, had become a Babel. Edwina saw a tall heavyset black man wave some dollar bills an d declare loudly,“I want to put my money in the bank”It seemed as if the report about everyone having come to open an account had been accurate after all.Edwina could see the big man leaning back expansively, still holding his dollar bi lls. His voice cut across the noise of other conversations and she heard him procl aim, “I’m in no hurry. There’s something I’d like you to explain.”Two other desks were quickly manned by other clerks. With equal speed, long wide l ines of people formed in front of them.Normally, three members of staff were ample to handle new account business, but ob viously were inadequate now. Edwina could see Tottenhoe on the far side of the ban k and called him on the intercom. She instructed, “Use more desks for new account s and take all the staff you can spare to man them.”Tottenhoe grumbled in reply, “You realize we can’t possibly process all these pe ople today, and however many we do will tie us up completely.”“I’ve an idea,” Edwina said, “that’s what someone has in mind. Just hurry the processing all you can.”First, an application form called for details of residence, employment, social sec urity, and family matters. A specimen signature was obtained. Then proof of identi ty was needed. After that, the new accounts clerk would take all documents to an o fficer of the bank for approval and initialing. Finally, a savings passbook was ma de out or a temporary checkbook issued.Therefore the most new accounts that any bank employee could open in an hour were five, so the three clerks presently working might handle a total of ninety in one business day, if they kept going at top speed, which was unlikely.Still the noise within the bank increased. It had become an uproar.A further problem was that the growing mass of arrivals in the central public area of the bank was preventing access to tellers’ counters by other customers. Edwin a could see a few of them outside, regarding the milling scene with consternation. While she watched, several gave up and walked away.Inside the bank some of the newcomers were engaging tellers in conversation and th e tellers, having nothing else to do because of the melee, chatted back. Two assis tant managers had gone to the central floor area and were trying to regulate the f lood of people so as to clear some space at counters. They were having small succe ss.She decided it was time for her own intervention.Edwina left the platform and a railed-off staff area and, with difficulty, made he r way through the milling crowd to the main front door.Yet she knew however much they hurried it would still take ten to fifteen minutes to open any single new account. It always did. The paperwork required that tim e.But still no hostility was evident. Everyone in the now jam-packed bank who was spoken to by members of the staff answered politely and with a smile. It seem ed, Edwina thought, as if all who were here had been briefed to be on best behavio r.A security guard directed him, “Over there for new accounts.” The guard pointed to a desk where a clerk ¾ a young girl ¾ sat waiting. She appeared nervous. The bi g man walked toward her, smiled reassuringly, and sat down. Immediately a press of others moved into a ragged line behind him, waiting for their turn.Even leaning close to the intercom, it was hard to hear above the noise.Even tripling the present complement of clerks would permit very few more than two hundred and fifty accounts to be opened in a day, yet already, in the first few m inutes of business, the bank was crammed with at least four hundred people, with s till more flooding in, and the line outside, which Edwina rose to check, appeared as long as ever.Obviously someone had alerted the press in advance, which explained the presence o f the TV camera crew outside. Edwina wondered who had donePart CAnswer questions 91-100 by referring to the comments on 3 different cars in the fo llowing magazine article.Note: Answer each question by choosing A, B or C and mark it on ANSWER SHEET 1. S ome choices may be required more than once.A=Audi A3 B=Honda Civic C=Rover 216Which car...Audi A3Most of our drivers said the A3 was their clear favourite in this group. They desc ribed it as refined and comfortable with good handling characteristics and light, precise steering.All the seats were comfortable and the front ones were easy to adjust. Most driver s liked the driving position, helped by a good range of steering wheel and seat height adjustments. The main instruments were clear and dashboard controls were well positioned.Mirror coverage was very good but our drivers complained that the view out of the rear was badly hindered by the high rear window line and thick pillars.Getting into the back seats was easy, thanks to a clever seat mechanism, which mov es the seat up and forward as well as tilting the backrest. Rear legroom was reaso nable but the rear seat was only barely wide enough for three adults.Luggage space was average for this class of car but you have to remove the rear he ad restraints to fold the rear seat. There were plenty of useful interior stowage spaces.All A3s come with an alarm and immobiliser as standard. Our ‘thief’ got in throu gh the doors in 20 seconds, But the radio was a non-standard fit, which is likely to deter thieves.The hinges of the rear seats could release in an accident, allowing luggage to cra sh through into the passenger compartment. Also, the driver's knees could be damag ed by stiff structures under the dash.Some parts of the fuel system and electrics would be vulnerable to damage in a fro ntal collision.Honda CivicHonda says its special VTEC engine has a winning combination of economy and perfor mance, but our drivers found it a bit of a curate’s egg. It was the most economic al of the cars on test, but drivers found it sluggish at low revs, and its acceler ation in fifth gear was slow, so overtaking normally meant having to shift down to fourth gear.The driving position was acceptable, but our panel criticised the restricted rear visibility ¾ the rear window was quite small. Drivers found the back rest supporti ve but it was not possible to make fine adjustments to the angle. The ride comfort was acceptable, but it wasn’t as good as the Audi’s or Rover’s.The driver’s seat didn’t slide forward when it was tilted, making rear access aw kward from this side. In the back, headroom and legroom was excellent but testers didn’t find the seats particularly comfortable.The luggage space was small for this class of car, especially with the rear seats in place. However, folding the rear seat to increase luggage space was easy.Other points identified by our panel included well-placed minor controls, good mir ror coverage, but fiddly radio controls.All Civics come with an immobiliser but no alarm. You may want to consider paying extra for an alarm, as our ‘thief’ broke into through the doors in 13 seconds, a nd into the engine bay in just five seconds.There were stiff structures under the dash which could damage the driver's knees i n an accident, though there was no problem on the passenger's side. The handbook (like the Audi's) provided advice on using child restraints.Rover 216The 1.6-litre engine had good power delivery at both high and low revs but some dr ivers complained that it was noisy at high revs. The brakes didn't have very good progression, but drivers like their positive feel.Ride comfort and the handling were praised. But drivers found it difficult to achi eve a comfortable driving position. The driver's seat was not height-adjustable, a nd there was only limited space to rest your clutch foot. Some testers also found the seat backrest uncomfortable. Visibility was marred by the small mirrors. The r ear view was also restricted by thick pillars and the small rear window.Getting into the back was tricky because the front seats did not slide forward whe n tilted. Once in the back, legroom and headroom were poor, and testers complained that their rear seat base was unsupportive.Luggage space was smaller than average for this class of car ¾ this was compounded by a high boot sill and difficulties in folding the rear seat. But there were lar ge pockets in the doors and rear side panels.The main radio controls were more convenient; they were mounted on the steering wh eel so drivers didn't have to take their hands off the wheel to use them.Our Rover 200s came with an alarm, though this isn't standard on all versions. Our 'thief' broke in through the doors in 15 seconds.Some of the electrics would be vulnerable in a frontal impact. The rear seat hinge s could release in an accident, allowing luggage to crash through into the passeng er compartment. Also, information in the handbook on using child restraints was in adequate.SECTION IV: Writing(40 minutes)。
全国英语等级考试(pets)考点As a test center for the national English proficiency test (PETs), there are several issues that need to be addressed to ensure the smooth and efficient administration of the exam. One of the main problems that we encounter is the lack of adequate facilities and resources to accommodate the increasing number of test-takers. This has led to overcrowding and long waiting times, which can be both frustrating and stressful for the candidates. In addition, there is also a need to improve the quality of the test administration, including the training and supervision of examiners and invigilators, as well as the security and integrity of the test materials.Another issue that needs to be addressed is the lack of accessibility for candidates with disabilities. Many test centers are not equipped to accommodate candidates with special needs, such as those who require extra time or other accommodations. This can be a major barrier for these individuals to demonstrate their English proficiency, and it is important for test centers to provide a more inclusive and supportive environment for all test-takers.Furthermore, there is a need to address the issue of test security and integrity. With the increasing demand for English proficiency certifications, there is a growing concern about cheating and fraud in the PETs. Test centers need to implement stricter measures to prevent cheating, such as the use of advanced technology and surveillance systems, as well as the training of staff to identify and report any suspicious behavior.In addition, there is a need to improve the overall testing experience for candidates. This includes providing clear and accurate information about the test, as well as timely and efficient communication with the candidates regarding their test registration, scheduling, and results. It is important for test centers to be responsive to the needs and concerns of the candidates, and to provide a supportive and professional environment for them to demonstrate their English proficiency.Finally, there is a need to address the issue of test preparation and support for candidates. Many test-takers may not have access to adequate resources and support to prepare for the PETs, and it is important for test centers to provideguidance and assistance to help candidates succeed in the exam. This can include offering preparatory materials, workshops, and support services to help candidates improve their English skills and feel more confident and prepared for the test.In conclusion, as a test center for the national English proficiency test (PETs), there are several important issues that need to be addressed to ensure the smooth and efficient administration of the exam. This includes improvingfacilities and resources, providing accessibility for candidates with disabilities, enhancing test security and integrity, improving the testing experience for candidates, and providing test preparation and support. By addressing these issues, test centers can create a more inclusive, supportive, and professional environment for all test-takers to demonstrate their English proficiency.。

This not only reduces air pollution but also promotes a healthier lifestyle.Education and awareness are also key in the fight against pollution. By educating people about the consequences of pollution andthe steps they can take to mitigate it, we can create a more environmentally conscious society.In conclusion, environmental protection is essential for the health of our planet and its inhabitants. By taking small steps in our daily lives and supporting broader initiatives, we can work together to reduce pollution and ensure a sustainable future for all.请注意,以上提供的是模拟真题及答案,实际PETS考试的真题和答案可能会有所不同。
PETS考试之口试攻关
PETS——全国公共英语等级考试,对有些人来说也许还比较陌生,但作为五年制高等师范学校的专职英语教师,对于PETS考试已相当熟悉。
PETS考试与大家熟识的CET(大学英语等级考试)一样,分为笔试和口试两部分。
而与后者不同的是,PETS口试合格与否直接决定着考级是否通过。
PETS口语考试,总分为5分,3分及格。
如果口试不过关,笔试成绩只保留一次。
如何才能通过PETS考级的口试?笔者从以下两方面提出一点建议:
一 PETS1级至PETS4级,口试攻关基础
PETS考试一共分为5个级别,难度依次增加。
参加PETS1级~PETS4级的考生占总考生的绝大部分。
虽然级别有差异,但是要通过相应级别的口语考试,学生都应具备一定的基础。
而口试基础的培养可以从三方面进行。
1.日常积累
语言的学习离不开日常的积累,口语考试更是如此。
而与笔试不同的是,死记硬背不一定有效,活学活用才能对症下药。
想要通过口语考试,不仅要坚持单词的积累,而且要在背诵单词的同时有意识地给单词归类。
而这里所说的归类,是按照PETS考级教学用书上的不同单元来进行区分的。
在PETS考级的教学用书中,根据不同的交际话题划分出饮食、交通、运动、旅游、健康等20个左右的单元。
根据不同的交际话题,对每个单元都进行了专门的讲解,学生结合书本上对于本单元的专项口语练习,通过识记和训练,就可以达到不错的效果。
而在书本之外,有意识地积累不
同的英语话题素材,也是日常积累不可或缺的部分。
2.考前准备
俗话说:“临阵磨枪,不快也光。
”能够在坚持日常积累的基础上进行考前准备是最好的,如果平时不能坚持,那么考前准备就显得尤为重要了。
“考前”这个名词如果要具体定义的话,就是考试前大概半个月的时间。
在这半个月内,考生每天都要针对英语口试进行必要的练习:可以翻阅模拟试题,了解口试流程,背诵重点识记单词。
并且每天都要“说”,针对一个或两个不同的专题,进行口语练习。
可以依据书本上的对话形式来练习,也可以根据模拟试题的题型来练习,或是自己进行发散性练习。
3.考试心态
面临考试,考试心态非常重要。
而口语考试时的考试心态更是起到至关重要的作用。
什么样的考试心态对于考生来说最为有利?简言之,就是保持一颗“平常心”。
而这恰恰是口试时最难做到的。
一旦到了考场,面对陌生的口试考官,紧张总是难以避免。
而伴随着紧张心理而来的,就是语速加快、词不达意、时态混乱、句法杂乱无章、停顿过长等口试大忌,大大影响考生的口试发挥。
要保持“平常心”,只有平时积累到位,练习充分,“心里有底”,考试时才能有底气。
在这里,笔者要强调考生口试时有可能会面临的两种特殊情况。
由于口语考试与笔试的差异,PETS的口试是两人一组进行的,有时也会是三人一组。
而对于考生来说,口语考试时遇到比较理想的情况就是对方的口语水平与自己相仿。
这样两个人的交流会比较流畅,不会出现“鸡同鸭讲”的情况。
而在这里笔者所强调的两种特殊情况是:遇到比自己的口语水平高出很多的和遇到比自己的口语水平低很多的。
在这两种情况下,经常会出现对方说的自己听不懂或自己说的对方听不懂的尴尬。
在这种情况下,学生一定要调整好心态,根据自己手中的信息卡依次提问或回答,千万不要有太长的停顿,如果有听不懂的问题,可以要求对方重复,但总次数不能超过3次(因为,过长的停顿会在很大程度上影响口试成绩)。
总之,临危不乱才能有出色的表现。
二 PETS1级至PETS4级,口试攻关阶梯式进步
在本文的第一部分,笔者对于PETS1级至PETS4级的口试基础从三个方面进行了阐述。
不管考生参加的考试是这四个级别中的哪一个级别,打基础这一步都是必不可少的,这就是所谓的共性。
既然级别不同,PETS1级至PETS4级的口试当然也有一定差异,这就要求考生不断的提升能力,实现阶梯式进步。
1.了解题型,有针对性的练习
PETS口试按级别不同分为2~3节。
A节:个人情况介绍。
B节:考生按所给的信息卡相互提问(第1级,2级)或讨论,分析评论问题(3级,4级)。
C节:考生就信息卡上的图片或题目进行描述(3级),连续性表达并论证个人观点(4级)。
其中第一节(A节)都是相似的,即考查考生提供个人信息,回答有关他们的日常生活、家庭、工作、学习等方面问题的能力。
常见的问题有:
Do you like your school?(1级)Why?(2级)
What subjects do you like best?(1级)Why?(2级)
How many people are there in your family?(2级)
What’s your plan for the future?(3级)
在一级考试中,遇到这些问题只要能在回答是或否的基础上简单地概述即可。
随着级别的增加,不但要回答Yes/No,更要进行越来越翔实的补充性说明。
Why? 这是考生在回答这类问题时一定要考虑的。
B节和C节则要根据相应级别进行有针对性的练习。
关于口试时间,1级8分钟,2级和3级都是10分钟,4级12分钟。
2.拓宽知识面,增加词汇量
随着考级难度的增加,考试大纲上交际话题的数量也随之不断增加。
对于考生来说,要通过口语考试就必须对自己提出更高的要求。
在奠定了坚实的英语基础的情况下,考生在进行更高级别口语考试前,可根据考试热点话题,或者自己所关心的专题进行知识面的拓宽。
这就意味着要大大增加词汇量。
而要完成拓宽知识面、增加词汇量的要求,考生可以从多方面入手,不管是课内还是课外,最重要的是自身要具有“收集”知识的意识。
在具备了主动性的基础上,学习也就变得有趣了。
听英文歌、看英文原声电影、参加英语角,这都是获取知识、锻炼口语能力比较常见并且有效的途径。
3.脱口秀的时代
“脱口秀”是英语词组Talk Show(口才展示)中音意同译的精彩典范,“脱口秀”是形容人的口才很好,说出的话非常有吸引力,而且谈吐
不俗,博得众人的喝彩。
在西方“脱口秀”是一个视频节目的栏目,也是一种主持风格。
进入2012年,“80后”已经不再是年轻的代表,“90后”“00后”等新兴名词不断高频率地出现在媒体中。
现在的时代是一个“脱口秀”的时代,勇于表达,勇于表现自己,已成为许多年轻人的特质。
英语这门学科,具有所有语言学习所具备的共性,想要学好,就得敢想敢说,勤学苦练。
特别是在现在这种时代大环境下,学生更应该从一些羞涩中果断地站起来中大声地、勇敢地表达自己。
倘若学生能抓住机会,“脱口秀”将会在很大程度上提升其英语综合水平。
综上所述,考生可以通过日常积累、考前准备和调整考试心态打下坚实的口试基础,并采用了解题型,有针对性的练习;拓宽知识面,增加词汇量;“脱口秀”等三种方式不断提升自己的英语口语水平,从而攻克PETS1级至PETS4级的口语考试。
