Should Private Car Owners Be Taxed for Pollution?

Along with the increasing environmental pollution, the measures for protecting environment are widely taken in the world, among which levying environmental taxes is considered to be effective.Since car sales have reached a historic peak these days, the government suggests that private car owners should be taxed for pollution.As far as I’m concerned, it’s not so much a solution as a gesture,because basically it can’t alleviate the pressing environmental issues.To begin with, though large in number, private car is not the only factor causing environmental pollution.If private car owners were taxed for pollution, other public vehicles, including buses and trains, should be taxed as well for the simple reason that they are also not environmental friendly.If not, complaints will accumulate concerning the unfairness, which thus will damage the harmony of our society.Also, taxing the private car owners fails to decrease the number of cars running on the road as expected.For those who are accustomed to it, an extra tax will never stop them from enjoying the convenience and pleasure of car driving.What’s more, levying a tax may make pollution becomes “reasonable”, because they would think they have paid for it.Obviously, it means nothing to protecting environment.As a result, it’s far from a good solution to tax private car owners for pollution, assuming it will solve environmental problems.On the contrary, immediate actions should be taken to develop new energy so as to cut down car pollution as a whole⑨.SECTION B NOTE-WRITING[10 MIN]

关键词:英语专业四级考试,“语法”试题,效度分析

一、引言

《高校英语专业考试大纲》指出英语专业四级考试目的是:“全面检查已经学完英语专业四级课程的学生是否达到教学大纲所规定的各项要求,考核学生运用各项基本技能的能力以及学生对语法结构和词语用法的掌握程度。既测试学生的综合能力,也测试学生的单项技能。同时,也是评估教学质量,推动校际交流的一种手段。”[1]由此可见,英语专业四级考试是一项综合性语言测试,集中体现了水平测试、成绩测试和诊断测试的测试目标,而这份集多项指标于一身的试卷的质量则取决于其各个组成项目的质量。在其六个组成项目中,“语法与词汇”部分,以多项选择题这一客观性试题的形式呈现,具有自身特点。

近年来,有关专业四级考试“语法与词汇”部分的研究不断涌现[2,3,4,5],但主要存在以下局限:1.研究时效性偏差。徐清平、张延续[2]详细分析了1996至2003年8年间的200道“语法与词汇”试题,就当时而言具有较为重要的参考价值,但由于没有涵盖近十多年的试题所呈现的趋势和特点,对如今专业四级考试的命题和备考均不具备较多参考价值;撒露莎[4]的分析近涉及2002至2007年六年间的试题,存在类似问题。2.研究角度较为单一。由于研究条件有限,已有研究仅对试题效度加以探讨,并提出相应的提高试题效度策略,对决定试卷质量的其他维度,如信度、难度、区分度、实用性及后效作用则鲜有论及。王锋[5]仅对2003至2012年间“语法与词汇”部分真题的明特点进行了总结,并未触及试题效度等方面的研究。此外,就试题效度而言,除顾晓微[3]从内容效度和预测效度两个方面对试题进行了详细分析,其他研究均只关注了试题的内容效度。因此,不论是试卷质量的评断角度还是试题效度的分析方面,已有相关研究均缺乏一定的综合性。

限于篇幅和已开展研究的进度,本文仅针对研究时效性偏差这一局限,对1996至2015年近二十年间“语法”部分试题的内容效度进行分析,以期:1.结合近年来该部分试题所呈现的新特点和趋势,提出进一步提高其内容效度的方法,希望对英语专业四级考试的命题有所帮助,进而英语专业四级考试试卷的质量;2.对2005年改革之前9年和改革之后11年的试题内容效度进行对比分析,反思改革效果及进一步提高试卷质量的策略。

二、“语法”部分内容效度分析

作为衡量一份试卷质量高低的重要指标之一,效度的高低是语言测试最重要的指标,是语言测试的基本出发点。[6]206某次测试的效度主要通过其内容效度、结构效度、预测效度和共时效度来体现。其中内容效度是指测试是否考了大纲规定要考的,或者说考试的题目在多大程度上能代表它所要测量的目标。要检验某次测试的内容效度,需参照以下三个方面:1.测试内容是否和测试目标有关;2.测试内容是否具有代表性;3.测试内容是否适合测试对象[6]208。

本研究以1996年至2015年的英语专业四级考试“语法”部分的测试内容为对象,其中2005年改革前1996至2004年9年间该部分试题为25道多项选择题,改革后至今则为30道选择题,改革前后试题总数为555道多项选择题。以该试题数据为基础,本研究旨在,一方面,依照大纲从以下三个方面对近年(2009年以后)试题进行内容效度分析,另一方面,以已有研究成果为基础,对比分析改革前后的内容效度,反思改革成效。

1.测试内容是否和测试目标有关

根据试题的命题内容,历年来“语法与词汇”部分的试题可以分为两大类:语法测试题和词汇测试题。具体来说,如果试题的命题内容涉及的是语法知识点的考查,该试题即归类为语法测试题;如果试题的命题内容涉及的是词汇的词性、词形和词义辨析,该试题则为词汇测试题。纵观二十年来“语法与词汇”部分试题,所有题目均可归入以上两类,不存在模棱两可的取舍。

如Mary is_hardworking than her sister,but she failed in the exam.

A.no so B.no more C.not less D.no less(2015年52题)

该题考点为比较结构。比较对象为“Mary”与“her sister”,选项B和D均符合句法要求,但题干后半部分句意决定正确选项只能是D。因此,该题属于语法测试题。

The doctor said that the gash in his cheek required ten stitched.The underlined part means_.

A.lump B.depression C.swelling D.cut(2015年73题)

对画线部分单词或词组的意思进行辨析和猜测,是2011年以来新近出现的考题类型,重点考查学生根据特定语境对单词或短语意义的猜测能力。就本题而言,很显然,该题属于名词的近义词考查,画线单词“gash”可译为“伤口,裂缝”,但题干给出的特定的语境,决定此处只能取“伤口”之意,因此,正确选项为D。该题即为词汇测试题。

据此标准,我们将二十年来“语法与词汇”部分的所有试题划分为两类,相关数据表明改革前后的相关数据变化较为明显。很显然,改革前该部分的考题综述为25道,且每年语法试题和词汇试题所占比例不尽相同。此外,就平均数值来看,语法试题共计101道,平均每年11.2道,而词汇试题偏多,共计124道,平均每年13.8道。依照《大纲》规定,“语法与词汇”的测试目标为“测试学生运用词汇、短语、语法结构以及基本语法概念的能力”;对测试内容的要求之一是“题目中约50%为词汇、词组和短语的用法,约50%为语法结构”。因此,与改革前相比,改革之后两类题目的数量基本均衡,更符合测试目标。

2.测试内容是否具有代表性

测试内容是否具有代表性取决于所考题目的代表性。高校英语专业四级考试大纲(2004年新版)对语法部分的要求涵盖语法内容从词到句的各个层面:“能识别词类;区分名词的可数性和不可数性、可数名词的单、复数形式;基本掌握各种代词的形式与用法、基数词和序数词、常用介词和连词、形容词和副词的句法功能、比较级和最高级的构成及基本句型、冠词的一般用法;了解动词的主要种类、时态、语态及不定式和分词的基本用法、句子种类、基本句型和基本构词法。掌握主谓一致关系、表语从句、宾语从句、定语从句和状语从句等句型、直接引语和间接引语的用法、动词不定式和分词的用法、各种时态、主动语态、被动语态和构词法。熟练掌握主语从句、同位语从句、倒装旬和各种条件句;初步掌握句子之间和段落之间的衔接手段。”

根据大纲要求,我们将改革前后二十年的语法题目进行了如下分类:

表1和表2的数据分布显示,改革之前各年份语法考点的涵盖面不够广泛和均匀,几乎每年都有近六个以上的考点未被考查,有些考点则进行了数次反复而不必要的考查,如1996年的非谓语动词考点和1997年从句的考点。相比而言,改革之后以上问题均得到改善。我们可以从表2清晰地看到,改革之后各年份考点分布较为均匀,尤其是2008年,几乎涵盖所有考点。同时,同一考点的重复考查比率稍微减少。但是有些年份仍存在有些考点过于集中的问题,如2010-2014年间有关句子成分的考点,反复考查竟多达七次,我们认为这样的单一考点的重复考查是没有必要的。大纲中规定的若干考点未被涉及,这将从某种程度上影响本部分测试的内容效度。

3.测试内容是否适合测试对象

测试内容是否符合测试对象与考生最终考试成绩密切相关,题目过难或过易均不能如实反映英语专业四级考试测试效度。就历年考试成绩而言,本部分测试题目考生很少得满分,尤其是词汇部分,同时鲜有零分。总体来说,该部分测试内容基本符合测试对象,具有一定的内容效度。

三、结语

本文根据高校英语专业四级考试大纲(2004年新版),对1996年至2015年近二十年来“语法”部分近270道测试题目进行分析,重点关注2005年改革前后内容效度的变化。分析表明:1.与改革前相比,改革之后两类题目的数量基本均衡,更符合测试目标;2.改革之后各年份考点分布较为均匀且同一考点的重复考查比率也稍微减少,但有些年份仍存在有些考点过于集中的问题;3.总体来说,改革前后该部分测试内容均基本符合测试对象。

针对上述分析中发现的问题,我们认为“语法”部分的内容效度还可以得到进一步改善。具体建议如下:1.语法部分考点的考查更为全面,做到涵盖考纲规定的各个考点,并减少同一考点的反复考察;2.词汇部分可以延续2011年69题、70题和77题的考查形式,引起学生对词汇语境意义的关注,从而实现考纲有关考生灵活运用语言的能力目标。

3.英语专业四级考试真题(阅读部分) 篇三

大部分考生对于四、六级阅读部分的选词填空向来“仇恨度爆表”,原因是此题型直指中国学生学习英语的两处软肋:词汇和语法。不过,出现在这一题型选项中的词均为大纲核心词汇,考生必须无条件掌握。下面先看看这次选词填空的选项是否都认识呢?

A. dependent

B. designed

C. fast

D. flying

E. gained

F. give

G. growing

H. launch

I. policy

J. prospect

K. rather

L. reliable

M. signal

N. successful

O. treatments

对于这一题型,考生在解题之前要做的准备工作包括两方面:①标注词性;②读文章首末句。标注词性时,考生只需标注纯名词及副词,因为诸如B (designed)之类的选项无法判断其是形容词用法还是动词的过去式/过去分词的用法。根据这一点,考生预先判断出选项I (policy)、J (prospect)、M (signal)、O (treatments)均为名词;而选项C (fast)、K (rather)为副词。接着考生阅读文章的首末句。由文章首句“Signs barring cell-phone use are a familiar sight to anyone who has ever sat in a hospital waiting room”及末句“Many patients also____(35) a better understanding of the illnesses that landed them in the hospital in the first place”可知文章的主要内容为“电子设备对医院的影响”。

准备工作之后,考生开始正式做题。做题步骤可分为三步:第一步,根据空格前后的句法结构判断其应填单词的词性;第二步,进一步判断、确定选项的词性,并做出筛选;第三步,根据空格所在句子的上下文判断空格所在句子的含义,最终确定最佳选项。然而大多数考生都以为这一题型只考查词汇,因此一开始就从选项的含义出发来解题,如此只会走入出题人的陷阱。下面选取三个有代表性的题目予以解析。

例1 But the ____(26) popularity of electronic medical records has forced hospital-based doctors to become _____(27) on computers throughout the day.

解析:这句话有两个空。就26题而言,考生可按照上述做题步骤来完成。第一步,判断出空格处应填入形容词,用于修饰中心词popularity。第二步,在选项中找出形容词或具有形容词性的词,分别为选项:A (dependent)、C (fast)、L (reliable)、N (successful);B (designed)、D (flying)、E (gained)、G (growing)。考生首先考虑最合适的形容词,如果不合适再考虑形容词性的词汇。第三步,从空格前后的上下文来看,该句的大意应为“但是电子医疗记录的_____(26)普及已经迫使医院的医生变得……”,考生从形容词选项中似乎找不到合适的答案,于是求助于第二类选项——形容词性选项。经过比较,考生可发现选项G (growing)符合句义,为正确答案。

27题较为简单。考生首先根据空格前的become先判断出此处应填入形容词或形容词性的单词,由此考生从上一题剩余的选项范围中挑选含义相符的选项,结合空格后的介词on,可得出本题的最佳选项为A (dependent)。

例2 Many patients also _____(35) a better understanding of the illnesses that landed them in the hospital in the first place.

解析:就本题而言,考生若能根据上下文来答题就可以很快得出答案。第一步,考生根据句子缺少谓语动词这一点判断出空格处应填入动词。第二步,由该句的上文“A study of the University of Chicago iPad project found that patients got tests and _____(34) faster …”中的谓语动词found可以得出空格处应填入动词的过去式,因为35题所在的句子仍在讨论上文提到的研究(a study),由此选项范围缩小到两项:B (designed)、E (gained)。第三步,考生根据句义很容易判断出正确答案为选项E (gained)。

从这三道题的解题过程可知,考生通常经过三步即可得出最合适的选项,但具体情况还需要具体对待,某些题目考生可能并不需要完整通过这三步就能解答,或考生不幸遭遇拦路生词,此时应该先解答其他题目,进而缩小该题的答案选择范围。但鉴于选词填空的分值过低(10道题,仅占5%),笔者建议考生将此类题型安排到整场考试的最后进行。

段落信息匹配题

2013年12月之后出现的段落信息匹配题的文章一般长达1000词左右,加上十道题目的题干,考生如果按照传统思路去阅读解题会明显感到时间十分紧张,这恰恰反映了出题者的考查要求:根据关键词在文章中快速查找定位的能力。因此考试时考生对待段落信息匹配题的正确方式应该是以定位优先,切忌过度阅读。

今年的三套卷中出现了一篇标题为“Ancient Greek Wisdom Inspires Guidelines to Good Life”的题目,其和传统的段落信息匹配题的不同在于,文章中使用了大纲式的黑体字小标题:Examine your life、Stop worrying what you cannot control、Seek true pleasure、Do good to others。这些小标题其实将文章的13个段落分成了四个部分,并归纳了每个部分的主要内容。考生如果遇到这种出题方式真是捡了大便宜了,因为这种出题方式相较没有小标题的常规题目来说更容易定位。下面以这篇文章为例,来看段落信息匹配题的正确做题步骤。

第一步,考生应该先读一下总标题“Ancient Greek Wisdom Inspires Guidelines to Good Life”,目的是迅速把握文章主题,并防止在划题干关键词的过程中过度依赖主题词(即大标题中出现的词汇等)。然后考生再扫读各个小标题,从而判断出全文的主旨是作者根据古希腊人的智慧指导人们如何成为人生赢家。

第二步,考生阅读题干,划出题干的关键词并回原文定位。在划题干关键词的过程中,考生需要秉承“显性关键词和名词优先,谓语结构、特殊形容词、副词等为辅助”的原则,因为此类题型的重点就是快速定位,题干可能对原文进行同义改写,而显性关键词和名词较不容易改写。下面以第36题为例。

36 According to an ancient Greek philosopher, it is impossible for us to understand every aspect of our life.

解析:本题中可以划出philosopher、understand、our life作为回原文定位的关键词,之所以不将Greek作为关键词,是因为Greek属于全文的主题词,不能很好地用于定位。此外,考生在定位之前可以判断一下题干内容与哪个小标题的内容联系最紧密。就本题来说,其题干内容和四个小标题中的第二个“Stop worrying what you cannot control”联系最紧密,因此定位范围立刻缩小到D、E两段,再根据关键词定位,考生便可以轻易地找出D段中与解题相关的原文:“‘The individual who promoted this idea was a Stoic philosopher. His name is Epictetus,’ he says. ‘And what the Stoics say in general is simply this. There is a larger plan in life. You are not really going to be able to understand all of the dimensions of this plan.’”由此作答如探囊取物。

需要指出的是,这一题型的十道题中经常会有一道题的关键词几乎全部都是对原文的改写,此时有效关键词过少,考生无法快速定位,因此这样的题目通常较难,目的就是为了考查考生同义替换词汇的掌握水平。由于此类题型会占用大量时间,可留至最后再处理。以这次考试的37题为例。

37 Ancient philosophers saw life in a different light from people of today.

解析:此题的关键词ancient philosopher、life是文章的主题词,无法用于定位,而如果使用different light定位,也无法在文章中找出对应段落,此时考生就应该先跳过此题。实际上,对于这道题,考生可以结合小标题来作答:由于题干内容似乎与上述所有小标题都没有太大关系,因此其对应的原文最有可能出现的位置应该在文章综述的部分,也就是第一个小标题之前的A、B两段。于是根据关键词ancient philosopher、life等词,考生能在B段中找到题干所对应的原文:“The nice thing about ancient philosophy as offered by the Greeks is that they tended to see life clear and whole, in a way that we tend not to see life today”,由此得出本题的答案为选项B。

仔细阅读题

尽管四、六级考试曾改革多次,但是仔细阅读这一传统题型从来没有变过,这反映了此类题型的重要性和稳定性。不过,考生如果死守着中学常用的通读全文的思路来参加四、六级考试,很容易感觉到答题时间不够用。许多没有经验的考生在阅读部分花的时间过多,导致最后的翻译题只能随便涂上两笔,草草完成。殊不知翻译与作文的分值一样,均为15%。因此,考生在解答仔细阅读时要明确一点,那就是更注重时间的把控,精准定位,理解定位处的上下文,切不可通读全文或过度推断。下面以Passage One的题目为例来讲解仔细阅读的解题步骤和技巧。

第一步,考生迅速扫读题干,由此判断文章的主旨。根据题干中的高频词driverless car和提问内容,考生可得知文章的主旨为无人驾驶车及人类对其的态度。第二步,考生划出题干的关键词。这一步的要求和段落信息匹配题类似,应优先考虑显性关键词和名词,再考虑谓语结构、特殊的形容词和副词。第三步,考生对照定位到的句子和选项,找出最佳答案。下面举例说明。

nlc202309081249

46 What happens when a new technology emerges?

A) It further widens the gap between the old and the young.

B) It often leads to innovations in other related fields.

C) It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole.

D) It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.

解析:考生可以划出a new technology作为题干的有效关键词。因为本题为五道题中的第一道,按照依次而下的顺序出题原则,其答案应该在文章的开头。事实上,考生很容易在开头第一句找到该题对应的原文句子:“Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines.”有些考生看不太明白这句话,此时别慌张,读后面一句:“That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift.”考生由that is可以发现这句话是对前面那句话的进一步诠释:“年轻人倾向于outnumber老年人在一个技术变革的front end上。”看不懂outnumber和front end?首先,理解干扰词汇outnumber的关键在于理解前缀out-,其表示“在……方面超过”的含义,因此outnumber意为 “在数量上超过”。其次,理解front end的关键是理解end,end除了表示“尽头,结束”,还可以表示“末端”,因此front end是“前沿”的意思。由此考生可以判断出这句话意为:“通常来说,在新技术变革的前沿,年轻人的数量倾向于超过老年人。”再由此考生可以理解定位到的第一句,即“对待新技术的态度通常呈现世代的区别。”此时对照选项,考生可以轻易看出答案应该在选项A和D当中选,因为这两个选项都提到了年轻人和老年人。到底该选哪个选项呢?这时考生就要从题目的说明出发,题目并没有问哪一个对哪一个错,而是说需要选出最佳选项,其特点就是能够与原文的含义一一对应。从定位到的原文句子来看,Attitudes toward new technologies对应的是选项D中的reactions,fall along generational lines对应的是选项D中的第一个different及different age groups,由此考生可以判断出最佳答案为选项D。

Section B

Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.

Make Stuff, Fail, And Learn While You’re At It

A)We’ve always been a hands-on, do-it-yourself kind of nation. Ben Franklin, one of America’s founding fathers, didn’t just invent the lightning rod. His creations include glasses, innovative stoves and more.

B)Franklin, who was largely self-taught, may have been a genius, but he wasn’t really an exception when it comes to American making and creativity.

C)The personal computing revolution and philosophy of disruptive innovation of Silicon Valley grew, in part, out of the creations of the Homebrew Computer Club, Which was founded in a garage in Menlo Park, California, in the mid-1970s. Members — including guys named Jobs and Wozniak — started making and inventing things they couldn’t buy.

D)So it’s no surprise that the Maker Movement today is thriving in communities and some schools across America. Making is available to ordinary people who aren’t tied to big companies, big defense labs or research universities. The maker philosophy echoes old ideas advocated by John Dewey, Montessori, and even ancient Greek philosophers, as we pointed out recently.

E)These maker spaces are often outside of classrooms, and are serving an important educational function. The Maker Movement is rediscovering learning by doing, which is Dewey’s phrase from 100 years ago. We are rediscovering Dewey and Montessori and a lot of the practices that they pioneered that have been forgotten or at least put aside. A maker space is a place which can be in a school, but it doesn’t look like a classroom. It can be in a library. It can be out in the community. It has tools and materials. It’s a place where you get to make things based on your interest and on what you’re learning to do.

F)Ideas about learning by doing have struggled to become mainstream educationally, despite being old concepts from Dewey and Montessori, Plato and Aristotle, and in the American Contcxt, Ralph Emerson, on the value of experience and self-reliance. It’s not necessarily an efficient way to learn. We learn, in a sense, by trial and error. Learning from experience is something that takes time and patience. It’s very individualized. If your goal is to have standardized approaches to learning, where everybody learns the same thing at the same time in the same way, then learning by doing doesn’t really fit that mold anymore. It’s not the world of textbooks. It’s not the world of testing.

G)Learning by doing may not be efficient, but it is effective. Project-based learning has grown in popularity with teachers and administrators. However, project-based learning is not making. Although there is a connection, there is also a distinction. The difference lies in whether the project is in a sense defined and developed by the student or whether it’s assigned by a teacher. We’ll all get the kids to build a small boat. We are all going to learn about X, Y, and Z. That tends to be one form of project-based learning.

H)I really believe the core idea of making is to have an idea within your head — or you just borrow it from someone — and begin to develop it , repeat it and improve it. Then, realize that idea somehow. That thing that you make is valuable to you and you can share it with others. I’m interested in how these things are expressions of that person, their ideas, and their interactions with the world.

I)In some ways, a lot of forms of making in school trivialize(使变得无足轻重)making. The thing that you make has no value to you. Once you are done demonstrating whatever concept was in the textbook, you throw away the pipe cleaners, the cardboard tubes.

J)Making should be student-directed and student-led, otherwise it’s boring. It doesn’t have the motivation of the student. I’m not saying that students should not learn concepts or not learn skills. They do. But to really harness their motivation is to build upon their interest. It’s to let them be in control and to drive the car.

K)Teachers should aim to build a supportive, creative environment for students to do this work. A very social environment, where they are learning from each other. When they have a problem, it isn’t the teacher necessarily coming in to solve it. They are responsible for working through that problem. It might be they have to talk to other students in the class to help get an answer.

L)The teacher’s role is more of a coach or observer. Sometimes, to people, it sounds like this is a diminished rote for teachers. I think it’s a heightened role. You’re ereating this environment, like a maker space. You have 20 kids doing different things. You are watching them and really it’s the human behaviors you’re looking at . Are they engaged? A they developing and repeating their project? Are they stumbling (受挫)? Do they need something that they don’t have? Can you help them be aware of where they are?

M)My belief is that the goal of making is not to get every kid to be hands-on, but it enable us to be good learners. It’s not the knowledge that is valuable, It’s the practice of learning new things and understanding how things work. These are processes that you are developing so that you are able, over time, to tackle more interesting problems, more challenging problems—problems that require many people instead of one person, and many skills instead of one.

N) If teachers keep it form-free and student-led, it can still be tied to a curriculum and an educational plan. I think a maker space is more like a like a library in that there are multiple subjects and multiple things that you can learn. What seems to be missing in school is how these subjects integrate, how they fit together in any meaningful way. Rather than saying, ‘This is science, over here is history,’ I see schools taking this idea of projects and looking at: How do they support children in higher level learning?

O) I feel like this is a shift away form a subject matter-based curriculum to a more experiential curriculum or learning. It’s still in its early stages, but I think it’s shifting around not what kids learn but how they learn.

36.A maker space is where people make things according to their personal interests.

37.The teachers’ role is enhanced in a maker space as they have to monitor and facilitate during the process.

38.Coming up with an idea of one’s own or improving one from others is key to the concept of making.

39.Contrary to structured learning, learning by doing is highly individualized.

40.America is a nation known for the idea of making things by oneself.

41.Making will be boring unless students are able to take charge.

42.Making can be related to a project, but it is created and carried out by students themselves.

43.The author suggests incorporating the idea of a maker space into a school curriculum.

44.The maker concept is a modern version of some ancient philosophical ideas.

45.Making is not taken seriously in school when students are asked to make something meaningless to them based on textbooks.

Section C

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

Most kids grow up learning they cannot draw on the walls. But it might be time to unlearn that training—this summer, group of culture addicts, artists and community organizers are inviting New Yorkers to write all over the walls of an old house on Governor’s Island.

The project is called Writing On It All, and it’s a participatory writing project and artistic experiment that has happened on Governor’s Island every summer since .

“Most of the participants are people who are just walking by or are on the island for other reasons, or they just kind of happen to be there,” Alexandra Chasin, artistic director of Writing On It All,tells Smithsonian.com.

The season runs through June 26 and features sessions facilitated by everyone from dancers to domestic workers. Each session has a theme, and participants are given a variety of materials and prompts and asked to cover surfaces with their thoughts and art. This year, the programs range from one that turns the house into a collaborative essay to one that explores the meaning of exile.

Governor’s Island is a national historic landmark district long used for military purposes. Now known as “New York’s shared space for art and play,” the island, which lies between Manhattan and Brooklyn in Upper New York Bay, is closed to cars but open to summer tourists who flck for festivals, picnics, adventures, as well as these “legal graffiti(涂鸦)” Sessions.

The notes and art scribbled(涂画) on the walls are an experiment in self-expression. So far, participants have ranged in age from 2 to 85. Though Chasin says the focus of the work is on the activity of writing, rather than the text that ends up getting written, some of the work that comes out of the sessions has stuck with her.

“One of the sessions that moved me the most was state violence on black women and black girls,” says Chasin, explaining that in one room, people wrote down the names of those killed because of it.“People do beautiful work and leave beautiful messages.”

46.What does the project Writing On It All invite people to do?

A) Unlearn their training in drawing.

B) Participate in a state graffiti show.

C) Cover the walls of an old house with graffiti.

D) Exhibit their artistic creations in an old house.

47.What do we learn about the participants in the project?

A) They are just culture addicts.

B) They are graffiti enthusiasts.

C) They are writers and artists.

D) They are mostly passers-by.

48.What did the project participants do during the 2016 season?

A) They were free to scribble on the walls whatever came to their mind.

B) They expressed their thoughts in graffiti on the theme of each session.

C) They learned the techniques of collaborative writing.

D) They were required to cooperate with other creators.

49.What kind of place is Governor’s Island?

A) It is a historic site that attracts tourists and artists.

B) It is an area now accessible only to tourist vehicles.

C) It is a place in Upper New York Bay formerly used for exiles.

D) It is an open area for tourists to enjoy themselves year round.

50.What does Chasin say about the project?

A) It just focused on the sufferings of black females.

B) It helped expand the influence of graffiti art.

C) It has started the career of many creative artists.

D) It has created some meaningful artistic works.

Passage Two

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

Online programs to fight depression are already commercially available. While they sound efficient and cost-saving, a recent study reports that they are not effective, primarily because depressed patients are not likely to engage with them or stick with them.

The study looked at computer-assisted cognitive(认知的) behavioral therapy(CBT) and found that it was no more effective in treating depression than the usual care patients receive from a primary care doctor.

Traditional CBT is considered an effective form of talk therapy for depression, helping people challenge negative thoughts and change the way they think in order to change their mood and behaviors. However, online CBT programs have been gaining popularity, with the attraction of providing low-cost help wherever someone has access to a computer.

A team of researchers from the University of Y ork conducted a randomized(随机的) control trial with 691 depressed patients from 83 physician practices across England. The patients were split into three groups: one group received only usual care from a physician while the other two groups received usual care from a physician plus one of two computerized CBT programs. Participants were balanced across the three groups for age, sex, educational background, severity and duration of depression, and use of antidepressants(抗抑郁药).

After four months, the patients using the computerized CBT programs had no improvement in depression levels over the patients who were only getting usual care from their doctors.

“It’s an important, cautionary note that we shouldn’t get too carried away with the idea that a computer system can replace doctors and therapists, ” says Christopher Dowrick, a professor of primary medical care at the University of Liverpool. “We do still need the human touch or the human interaction, particularly when people are depressed.”

Being depressed can mean feeling “lost in your own small, negative, dark world,” Dowrick says. Having a person, instead of a computer, reach out to you is particularly important in combating that sense of isolation. “When you’re emotionally vulnerable, you’re even more in need of a caring human being ,” he says.

51.What does the recent study say about online CBT programs?

A)Patients may not be able to carry them through for effective cure.

B)Patients cannot engage with them without the use of a computer.

C)They can save patients trouble visiting physicians.

D)They have been well received by a lot of patients.

52.What has made online CBT programs increasingly popular?

A)Their effectiveness in combating depression.

B)The low efficiency of traditional talk therapy.

C)Their easy and inexpensive access by patients.

D)The recommendation by primary care doctors.

What is the major finding by researchers at the University of York?

Online CBT programs are no more effective than regular care from physicians.

The process of treating depression is often more complicated than anticipated.

The combination of traditional CBT and computerized CBT is most effective.

Depression is a mental condition which is to be treated with extreme caution.

What is Professor Dowrick’s advice concerning online CBT programs?

They should not be neglected in primary care.

Their effectiveness should not be overestimated.

They should be used by strictly following instructions.

Their use should be encouraged by doctors and therapists.

What is more important to an emotionally vulnerable person?

A positive state of mind.

Appropriate medication.

Timely encouragement.

Human interaction.

0 引言

高校英语专业四级考试(以下简称TEM4)是由教育部统一组织的高等学校英语专业本科学生基础阶段的英语水平测试。随着TEM4的信任度和权威性的逐年提高,各大高校已将TEM4的成绩作为英语教学水平的评估手段之一,更重要的是,可以通过对考试结果的分析和总结,从中发现英语语言教学和学习的规律,从而指导今后的英语教学和改革,促进教学水平及学生能力的提高。因此,对成绩的总结和分析具有重要意义。

1 2013年TEM4考试情况

(本次成绩总结和分析以2013年首次参加考试的学生成绩为主,选用2011、2012年考试成绩作为参照。)

从平均分来比较,今年全国平均分是59.17分,我院53.52分,相差5.55分;从通过率来比较,今年全国通过率是51.37%,我院为28.46%,相差22.91个百分点。与往年相比,平均分的差距缩小了,但是通过率没有明显的提高。为了更清晰地展现三年考试成绩的差异性,表2进行了三年考试成绩的描述性统计分析:

从表2中我们可以看出,2013级学生的平均分是53.52、最大值是78分、最小值是30分、其差距是48分、标准差是9.09;2012级学生的平均分是52.45分、最大值是75分、最小值是18分、其差距是57分、标准差是8.91;2011级学生的平均分是51.86分、最大值是77分、最小值是28分、其差距是49分、标准差是8.46。从三年学生的考试成绩的描述性统计分析表中,我们可以看出平均分是逐年提高的,最大值均在75分上下,最小值差异较大,最低达到18分,差距较大,标准差在8-9之间。可见,三年来我院学生的TEM4的成绩变化不大,但略有提高。为了明确我们的考试成绩的情况,现对我院2013年的TEM4中各题型的成绩与全国成绩做对比,了解我院与全国的差距。

从表3所反映的情况来看,我院考生的写作相对误差较小,达到测试项的平均分,而完型填空的相对误差相对次之,差异不到1分;听力理解、语法词汇和阅读理解的成绩距离测试项平均分较大,多于1分之差。这表明考生在写作这个项目能力的差异不是很大,相当一部分学生已达到国家TEM4考试大纲相关要求。听力部分(包括听写和听力理解)占总成绩的30%,表明听力部分与总成绩间有最强的正相关系,英语听力好的学生,会更占优势。从经验来看,也是英语听力好的学生,其总成绩也较高,即,英语听力的好坏,最能反映出一个学生英语水平的高低。

表3还显示,完型填空的成绩占总成绩的10%,与总成绩间的相关关系是最小的。从英语基础来看,完型填空除了与语法词汇存在较强的相关性之外,与其余各分项成绩均不具有相关性,因此,它对学生总成绩的影响是最弱的。

众所周知,语法词汇与写作和完型填空有相关关系。语法词汇的平均分只有7.65分,与该项的及格分9分相差1.35分,相差较大;但是,完型填空的成绩只距平均分0.75分,写作的平均分更是达到17.95分,高出该项及格分2.95分。为何语法词汇的基础知识能力较低,其它两项,尤其是写作的成绩却大厢径庭?分析其主要原因有三:其一,写作体现的是考生的综合素质,有部分考生的综合素质与单项技能没有同步发展,而且,写作作为纯粹的主观性试题,评卷老师的个体差异以及由此带来的对阅卷标准的掌握上的细微差别、学生的字体书写等方面都会在某种程度上导致这种差别的产生;其二,虽然完型填空作为客观性试题,它却是融合了多项选择题和写作的不少优点而且又避开了阅卷过程中的主观因素造成的差别,体现了学生的语言运用的综合素质,包括上下文的连贯,语境的把握等;其三,英语专业的教学中强化学生的听、说、读、写能力的同时,部分程度上忽视了对最基础的词汇与语法知识的培训,致使学生总体的词汇和语法水平出现下降。由此可见,我院学生的英语技能的发展不够平衡。

2 提出建议

2.1 转变教学观念,注重学生的基础训练。TEM4只是考核学生英语水平的一个方式,从中反映出的学生英语基础和英语综合运用能力的信息更为珍贵。专四成绩不是终极目标,学生的专业实际水平以及分析问题和解决问题的能力的提高才是我们教学的目标。因此,我们的教学一定要打破传统的“一言堂”方式,而是要把“课堂还给学生”,让学生成为课堂的主人,自由阐述观点,通过合作解决问题,从而提高英语听、说能力以及分析问题、解决问题的能力。转变教学观念是教学改革的重要内容,本着“学生为中心”的教学理念,我们将着重加强课堂听、说训练,加大作业量,指导学生解决实际问题。

2.2 组建TEM4研究委员会,形成一个能够透彻了解专业四级考试情况的,并有广大资料库以及研究成果的权威机构,用以指导英语专业四级相关工作。我院于2005年开始招收第一批本科生,本科教学的历史比较短,TEM4辅导工作也是刚刚起步,在这种情况下,更需要有明确的指导和经验的交流。在往届学生的专四考试的辅导工作中,老师们已经逐渐形成了团队合作的工作氛围,并且有经验,有热情,高职称、高水平,是具备组建TEM4研究委员会的条件的。

2.3 针对学生语言技能的发展不够平衡的情况,老师们要转变观念,以“加强学生各项技能相互融会贯通,达到全面发展”为教学目的,融入到日常教学中。本次考试成绩体现了我院学生在语言技能的发展不够平衡,有部分学生的综合素质与单项技能没有同步发展,这说明我们的教学还存在不足,各科出现相互独立的现象,这需要我们教师首先要具备各项技能融会贯通的能力,才能在教学中把握好学生英语综合能力与单项技能发展的关系。

2.4 本次我院专四成绩主要在听力理解和阅读理解两项与其它院校拉开了距离。因此,加强学生的听力能力和阅读能力训练应该成为英语教学的目标之一。同时,针对英语各项技能训练应加强学生中的中、下等群体的能力训练,只有这样,才能全面地提高学生总体英语水平和综合素质。

2.5 分层次教学。我们的培养目标是培养“符合社会需求的应用型英语人才”,分层次教学正是在这种人才培养目标的要求下产生的。我系每一届都有一些非常优秀的学生,他们在能力上是非常突出的。但是,我们的教学要顾及班级的大多数学生,因此,不能满足优秀学生对课堂教学量、知识深度、广度等方面的要求,逐渐,这类学生被慢生所累,抑制了他们的快速进步。为此,采用“抓两头,保中间”的分层次教学模式会更适用于英语教学现状,可实现学生公平发展的现实要求。

3 结束语

就外语教学而言,语言测试已成为衡量外语教学效果的手段之一,更重要的是通过语言测试可以对外语教学情况进行诊断和反馈,从而促进外语教学的发展、提高教学质量。本文以辽宁对外经贸学院为例,对三年的TEM4成绩进行量化分析、对比分析,以通过问题找到提高教学质量的有效的方法,对英语教学起到借鉴作用。
