2003年高一初赛试题无论从题型结构、份量,还是从难度上均与2002年基本保持稳定,调整幅度不大,做到了“稳中有变,变中求稳”。这既有利于考生备考,减小考生备考的压力或对其他学科学习可能带来的冲击,又体现了“面向全体,重在参与”的竞赛宗旨,更好地发挥本竞赛对于中学英语教学的评价和促进作用。其小幅调整主要指:1)听力的第四部分短文理解由以往的一篇长文章改为两篇稍短些的文章;2)翻译部分增加了汉译英。这些调整既是对往年竞赛的经验和教训的总结,也是对适合我国外语教学实情的测试题型、方法的一种探索,同时,对我国高考英语学科题型结构的改革也会起到良好的推动作用。
听力部分
听力部分分值30分,答题时间为30分钟。NEPCS听力包括四大部分,从词汇、句子、对话和短文对考生的听力进行了全方位的考查。
1-5题为听辨单词,是听力最低层次的要求,没有多大难度。6-10题为句子理解,其不同于听音辨词,不能停留在听清或听懂某个或某些词语,而应着眼于“句子的整体理解”。本部分多为同义句练习在听力中的应用,如题6:(原文)The boss doesn’ t think he’ ll accept the graduates unless they are good at using computers.= (A) The boss will accept those who are good at using computers.题7:(原文)...so it is polite to accept a drink even if you are not thirsty. = (B) It is polite to drink something given to you even if you are not thirsty. 题9中not...until可换成after等。
11-20题为对话理解。听对话时,应注意:1、谈话的人物;2、谈话的内容;3、谈话的地点、时间、情景等;4、人物的态度、观点。A节为5段小对话,本节需要特别注意的是:听清对话的同时,要听清问题。
11. B。对话中的女士每天上课5小时,上午3小时、下午2小时。题目问的是上午。
12. D。书是什么内容?It’ s about how food production developed through the centuries.
13. C。由文中“That would have made it a very expensive evening,...”可知。
14. B。本题为识图题,考生不但要听懂录音,还应能识别图形。这个人是怎样获得信息的呢?4幅图提供4种答案:报纸、网络、手机、电视。他是这样说的:Oh, I found the information on the Internet.
15. D。
B节为一段长对话,是电视明星Jack接受采访的录音。当被问到在家里是否做家务时,他是这样回答的:My mum is always telling me to respect others. She still makes me do the washing-up, you know.被问到衣着时,他是这样说的:I love really informal clothes. I don’ t really like all the new multicoloured ones. I do not follow the latest fashion at all. My friends say some of the things I buy went out of fashion years ago!... I can now afford to buy all the clothing... The price is no longer a problem.
21-30题为短文理解,由去年的一篇短文改为今年的两篇,适当降低了本部分的难度,也可避免因同一篇文章设题过多而出现“连环题”的现象,使听力试题更趋合理。现就部分难题分析如下:
A篇为国际英语学校工作人员告知新来的学员(商业英语技能提高班)本周末的活动安排:星期五——参观本市,其中包括一家博物馆,下午3点做游戏,以促进相互间的了解,晚上7点看电影。星期六——参观历史名城Bath,上午10点出发。星期天——白天自由活动,晚上6点左右到大教室领学习资料,并与老师见面。
B篇是为那些想写小说的人所提的几点建议:1、语言简单明了。过多的晦涩难懂的词语、句子会令读者疲于查词典,以致于对小说丧失兴趣。2、坚持写日记。这可丰富你的写作,为创作提供素材,因为好小说是由众多有趣细节组成的。3、进行大量的调查研究。尤其是要对你打算写的话题非常熟悉。
笔试部分
单选题主要考查考生语言基础知识的掌握情况,虽分值只有20分,但考查的知识面广、灵活性大、综合性强。近年来的单项填空题的命制正朝着“突出语境,强化语意,强调语用”的方向发展,故考生解题时,不应孤立地从语法上考虑,而应综合考虑语法、语境、语意、语用等。现将1—15单选题列出,题目分析见其后的表格。
