Model Test One Model Test 1 Part I Writing (30 minutes) Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Should Smoking Be Banned in Public Places? You should write at least 120words following the outline given below. 1.近年来越来越多的公共场所禁烟 2.这项举措在受到拥护的同时也引发了争议 3.你的看法 Should Smoking Be Banned in Public Places? ————————————————————————————————————— Part II Reading Comprehensive (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes) Low-carbon Future: We Can Afford to Go Green Tackling climate change will cost consumers the earth. Those who campaign for a green revolution are out to destroy our western lifestyles. Such are the cries of opponents of emissions cuts, and their message has political impact: a number of surveys have found that the enthusiasm of voters for policies to reduce climate change falls off as the price tag increases. However, a new modeling(模型化) exercise suggests that these fears are largely unfounded. It projects that radical cuts to the UK’s emissions will cause barely noticeable increases in the price of food, drink and most other goods by 2050. Electricity and petrol costs will rise significantly, but with the right policies in place, say the modellers, this need not lead to big change in our lifestyle. “These results show that the global project to fight climate change is feasible,” says Alex Bowen, a climate policy expert at the London School of Economics. “It’s not such a big ask as people are making out.” Although it is impossible to precisely predict prices four decrease from now, the exercise is one of the most detailed examinations yet of the impact of climate change policies on UK consumers. It provides a useful rough guide to our economic future. Though its results speak directly to the UK consumers, previous research has come to similar conclusions for the US. In June, one study found that if the US were to cut emissions by 50 per cent by 2050, prices of most consumer goods would increase by less than 5 per cent. The findings are also consistent with analyses by the Pew Center on Global Climate change in Washington DC. “Even cutting emissions by 80 per cent over four decades has a very small effect on consumers in most areas,”says Manik Roy of the Pew Center. “The challenge is now to convince consumers and policy-Makers that this is the case.” The Intergovernmental panel on Climate Change recommends that wealthy nations cut their emissions to between 80 and 95 per cent below 1990 levels by 2050 in order to avoid the 1

TEM4
TEM4 听写15分 第一，考前要充分了解听写的形式，最好进行一次模拟实践，体会全过程。 第二，在听第一遍时，重点听主题思想和重点词，掌握全文大意，不要一听录音就写，因为这样急着写，也许能写出前边的单词或句子，却有可能不知全文的大意；听写的第二遍和第三遍朗读是以意群为单位重复的，在第二遍朗读录音时，要以意群为单位去理解。因时间关系，不可能一词一词地全部写下，所以要分清主次信息，抓句型和关键词（主语、谓语等），在听第三遍时，再把其他部分，如修饰语、定冠词等遗漏内容补上，若有些词还来不及写，可先用一些自己认识的缩略形式，甚至特殊符号代替，等最后一遍核查时或结束前的两分钟检查时间时再补写出原形。听写的评分不是以写出的单词多少，而是先以是否把原文的主要意思表达清楚，然后以是否有大小错误，如单复数，大小写、遗漏冠词等，来决定扣分的不同。此外，如果在听的过程中有个别词或词组一下子反应不出来，就不要苦苦纠缠单个的词，要跟着录音进行下一意群的听写，因为听写评阅标准把全文根据15个意群分割成15分，每个意群最多扣一分，所以某个意群中的个别单词或词组的错误或遗漏不会影响其他意群的得分。而对于听不懂的单词，不妨先根据读音写下音标，等回头检查时再想。 第三，运用期待语法的作用，听之前，根据题目展开联想，调集大脑中储存的相关信息，同时仔细理解第一句，因为首句常是主题句，后边的句子围绕它进一步展开，这样，可以适当缩小范围，更快地进入状态。 第四，听写是一项综合性的语言技能，包含了诸如听、写、词汇量、语法结构、篇章理解、记忆力等各方面，因此，提高听写能力，关键就是加强各种相关知识和技能的训练。这也就牵涉到平时对各门功课的学习。如提高听力水平，熟悉英美国家人士的说话和语音语调的差异是必要条件，但同时，如何把接收到的信息转化为自己的并写下来，则要求其他能力的配合，如对词汇的掌握及熟练程度、词语搭配知识等。同时还要运用语法知识，有时即使没听出来，也可补写出来，如单复数和时态等；还可利用逻辑推理能力，因为所听材料都是有意义的和独立成文的，因此，检查中如发现不合逻辑思维的句子，就可以肯定所写有误，进而改正。 第五，听写是个相对机械、容易操作的测试手段，但提高听写决非一朝一夕，靠突击就可以如愿以偿的。加强相关能力训练，能够间接促进听写水平；同时，有计划和有目的地反复实践听写，也可以巩固各项语言知识，发展运用知识的技巧，促使语言知识向语言交际能力转化。 第六，还要注意书写的整洁、清晰，用指定水笔按要求书写，以便于评阅。 最后，我们介绍TEM4听写的评分标准。听写标准主要根据意群和词组，把短文分为15小节，每节1分。听写评阅采用扣分法，每节最多扣1分。重复错误扣一次。根据评分需要，听写中出现的错误分为两类：小错误和大错误。小错误包括大小写、标点符号错误、冠词错误、单复数错误等；大错误包括漏写单词、添加单词、替换单词、时态错误等。每个小错误扣0.25分，每个大错误扣0.5分。 听力理解30‘ 第一，要克服心理障碍。心理因素对人的现场发挥有很大的影响，特别在听力考试中，由于考场的紧张气氛，加之录音只放一遍，不能复听，常使考生产生畏惧心理。考生在听之前，生怕听不懂，听觉紧张，越紧张就越不能专心；还有的考生遇到未听懂或未完全听懂的题就不知所措，或有个别词汇一下子听不出而绞尽脑汁地想，影响对接下来内容的注意力。对此，考生首先要安定好自身情绪，集中精力，轻松愉快地
