Ⅰ 英语四六级的样题是怎么样的
导入篇
10月2日凌晨,互联网上出现了这样一则消息:由全国大学英语四、六级考试改革项目组和全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会编写的《大学英语四级考试(CET-4)试点考试样卷》近日由上海外语教育出版社独家出版,备受各界瞩目的改革后四级考试新题型和样卷将正式与广大考生见面。大学英语四级考试改革从2006年1月开始试点,面向全国180所大学英语教学改革试点院校的部分学生。全国大学英语四、六级考试改革项目组和考试委员会根据《全国大学英语四、六级考试改革方案(试行)》设计了四级考试新题型样卷。据介绍,根据考生答题的顺序,样卷共由六部分组成:写作测试、快速阅读理解、听力理解、仔细阅读理解、完型填空和翻译
一时间各大网站纷纷转载了该消息,各大论坛上无数的四级考生也展开了对新四级的讨论,这无疑给十一黄金周增加了几许过节的气氛.
北京新航道学校国内考试中心第一时间拿到了四级新样题,同一时间组织强大的阵容对其进行研究,以期在第一时间给广大考生一个明确的复习方向.对此新航道四、六级名师虎劲钻结合多年教学经验以及四级最新样题,对2005年12月即将到来的新四级做一个全面的解析,希望对广大考生在备考过程中能起到一个抛砖引玉的作用。
写作篇
写作是新样题中唯一没有变化的一个部分,理由很简单,写作部分的改革长久以来一直都在进行,综观整个四级写作的发展历程,大致可以分为2个阶段:模版时代—反模块化
模版时代(洋八股)
在这个时期,大部分作文以议论文为主,考生在备考过程中,常常可以通过背诵一定数量的固定模块,从而在极短的时间内“提升”写作质量。
反模块化
2003后的作文题目以应用文为主(practical writing),涉及书信,车祸见证书,导游词,投诉等,只有一篇是议论文,这是反模块化的一个强烈信号。
作文命题反套路,反模块是今后写作部分发展的一个趋势。今后考生应该提高用书面语表达思想的能力,考试的重点考查语言基本功。同时值得考生注意的是:今后四级写作部分,将会在一篇文章中测试考生多种写作能力,既有记叙又有议论,甚至还需进行一定的说明。

由上表,我们可以看出,新四级在测试阅读能力方面手段丰富,主要表现在题型的多样化,这就对考生的阅读能力提出了更高的要求。众所周知,和考研阅读相比原来四级阅读理解主要考察考生的速读能力,35分钟之内要完成4篇文章,20道题。但在改革之后,仔细阅读(Reading in Depth)的文章减少至2篇,增加了选词填空和快速阅读。选词填空考察方式为:从一篇220字左右的文章中,留出10个单词的空格,从给出的15个备选单词中选出10个填入文章相应处,使文章意思通顺,表达正确。这部分主要考察考生对词汇的认知和语法的理解。另外,快速阅读要求在15分钟内完成一篇1200字左右的文章和后面的10道题,前7个是判断正误,后3个是填空题(答案基本都是原文中出现的原词),由此不难看出,“快速+准确”是今后四级阅读部分考察的重点。在备考过程中,考生务必要有意识的训练自己Skimming&Scanning的能力。
选词填空
When Roberto Feliz came to the USA from the Dominican Republic , he knew only a few words of English. Ecation soon became a 47 . “I couldn't understand anything,” he said. He 48 from his teachers, came home in tears, and thought about dropping out.
A) wonder I) hid
B) acquired J) prominent
C) consistently K) decent
D) regained L) countless
E) nightmare M) recalled
F) native N) breakthrough
G) acceptance O) automatically
H) effective
解析: 第 48 题,首先这里要填一个动词,后半句出现了 came 和 thought ,为了保持时态一致,该动词应该为一般过去式,只有 B 、 D 、 I 、 M 符合;其次,从意思上理解, hid from 有躲避某人的意思,所以该题答案选 I
快速阅读
Y ( for YES ) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage.
N ( for NO ) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage.
NG ( for NOT GIVEN ) if the information is not given in the passage.
原文: The trash proction in the United States has almost tripled since 1960. This trash is
handled in various ways. About 27 percent of the trash is recycled or composted, 16
percent is burned and 57 percent is buried in landfills.
样题: 2. Most of the trash that Americans generate ends up in landfills.
答案: Y
解析: 由原文首句可知,该段谈论的范围在 America ;其次, 57 percent 对应题干中 most of the trash ;再者 bury 和题干中 end up 做了一个同义替换,由此可知,本题应选 Y 。
听力篇(小对话、长对话、短文章、复合式听写)
从最新的样题中可以看出,听力总共分为3个部分:第一部分由8个小对话和2个长对话组成;第二部分是3篇小文章;第三部分为复合式听写(compound dictation)。主要的变化来自第一个部分,小对话由原来的10个减少到8个,增加了2个长对话,每个长对话之后会有3-4道题。测试时间的长度也从原来的20分钟增加到了35分钟。
听力部分在改革后的新四级中将呈现以下几个特点:
(1)加大分值比重
从分值上看,由原来的20%增加到了35%,和阅读理解平分秋色,可以看出改革之后听力在四级考试中的重要性。
(2)增加听力难度
从题型上看,增加了长对话。练习过听力的同学都应该知道,长对话要求我们注意力更加的集中,耐力更加的顽强,这一点从听力部分考试时间的增长也可以体会出来。总的来说,新四级对考生的听力实力提出了更高的要求,逐步向新大纲中的“听说并重”靠拢。
(3)淡化做题技巧
结合近几年的四级考题,我们不难发现,只看选项就能直接得出正确答案的题目越来越少。可以预见,原来那些所谓的解题技巧在今后的新四级中将逐步淡出舞台。准备新四级考试的同学应该从提高实际英语能力出发,循序渐进,切实打下良好的听力基础,才能在新四级中笑傲江湖。
综合篇(完型填空或改错、汉译英或SAQ)
综合部分主要包括完型填空或改错、汉译英或SAQ(short answer questions),此次最新样题中在综合部分出现了完型填空和汉译英,但在《大学英语四级考试(CET-4)试点考试样卷》中有这样一句话值得各位考生注意:四、六级考试改革项目组和考试委员会在试测的基础上设计了本样卷,即改革后四级考试的范型卷。实际考试中,可根据咐表中所描述的框架结构,采用与样卷不完全相同的题型。所以考生在备考过程中改错和SAQ也是需要精心准备的。
语法、词汇篇
自2004年6月以来,语法题就彻底退出了四级的舞台,但这并不意味着四级考生可以忽视语法的重要性.在《大学英语四级考试(CET-4)试点考试样卷》中,第六部分出现了汉译英,5道题,共35分(710分制),当中至少有2道题涉及到了语法知识点;另外,最新样题的第四部分:选词填空,既考察考生对词汇意思的掌握,又考察了一些基本的语法知识点。
汉译英
样题: 88. Not only (他向我收费过高) ,but he didn't do a good repair job either.
答案: did he charge me too much
解析: 考察要点之一, not only 开头的句子,要用倒装句型;其二,后半句用的是一般过去式,前后时态应保持一致;其三, charge sb. 是一个固定搭配,表示向某人收取费用。
此外词汇部分在改革后的四级中也将不复存在,对这一变化,很多同学敲锣又打鼓,长长出了一口仙气,“终于可以不用背单词了”,有这样想法的同学就陷入了一个误区。改革后对词汇的要求不降反升。原来词汇专门作为一个部分考察,以后词汇将被默认为考生已经掌握,无须直接考察,而将考察融入到了其他部分,这对考生来说,将面临更大的挑战。四、六级委员对这种想法由来已久。在原四级阅读理解中,常常会从原文中挑出一个单词或短语,考生通过上下文推测出该词的含义,我们通常称为“词义题”,但自从03年以来,这类题目出现的机率越来越小,出题者已经悄无声息地将词汇的考察融进了细节题当中去了。
举个例子,05年1月的四级阅读理解的第三篇文章第2题,表面上看它是一道细节题,但从本质上分析,这道题考察的就是一个单词Act,如果考生知道这里Act有法律(law)的意思,那么答案将变得极其幼稚。
因此,在未来新四级中,核心的词汇的背诵是考生在备考过程中一项重要的工程。那么核心词汇究竟有多少呢?据初步估计,大约在2500左右,一旦将这些核心词汇牢牢掌握,高分是必然的。
结束篇
如果说大学是人生的梦想,英语便是腾飞的翅膀;如果说英语是成功的希望,四级便是梦想的开端。
由中国英语教育传奇人物胡敏教授创办的北京新航道学校即将迎来一岁的生日,在过去的一年中,我们送别了一批又一批的优秀学员,创造了一个又一个的教育神话,经历了一次又一次的疯狂喜悦。此时此刻,内心充满了一种感觉,一种很难用语言描绘的感觉。也不知道谁曾经说过这样一句话:“所谓幸福,是有一颗感恩的心,一个健康的身体,一份称心的工作,一位深爱你的人,一帮信赖的朋友。”在这个诱惑无处不在的世界里,幸福原来如此简单。
愿全天下四级的考生,一路走好!
Ⅱ 英语六级考试时间是什么时候
1、英语六级考试时间为6月15日和12月14日。
2、部分学校有规定:英语四级版不过或者六级没权有达到一定的分数值,学校不发学位证,可能会导致你们无法顺利毕业,所以,大学英语六级真的很重要!
3、研究生保研对英语四六级也有硬性的要求,一般四级需要达到500分以上,六级至少要达到425分以上,而且考研也要考英语,基本上只要你六级过了,那考研英语基本没多大问题。
4、大学英语六级考试是由中国教育部高等教育司组织的全国统一的单科性、标准化英语教学考试,用以评定应试人的英语能力,每年各举行两次。
该考试满分成绩为710分,主要考试对象为高等学校修完大学英语四级的本科生,不设及格线。
Ⅲ 谁知道全国英语等级考试和英语四六级考试的区别
ACCA是国抄际专业会计师组织为全球有志投身于财会、金融以及管理领域的人提供的资格认证,目前已经在全球范围内被多家大型跨国企业认可,也可视为是财会界的黄金通行证。
英语就4级水平,ACCA会不会非常难考?
但其实ACCA虽然采用全英文教材和考试,但其最终的目的还是对财会综合能力的考核,而不是一个语言测试。所以只要求财会类专业英语词汇的记忆与理解。只要通过多做题,从而把经常出现的关键词记住,就可以轻松应对考试。
一般只要达到大学英语四六级的水平,学习ACCA基本不会有太大困难,当然如果实在对自己英语水平不抱希望的同学,可以考虑一下高顿的双语教材。
在这套ACCA教材中,高顿ACCA名师用中文在重要知识点与高频考点的旁边,做了详细的批注,解决了看不懂的困境。

Ⅳ 英语6级429考catti有戏吗
这个成绩去考CATTI 2 基本上毫无悬念的会挂掉;考三级,多练习翻译题,有希望过
建议将主要精力放在实务翻译的练习和实践上,这才是复习重点和难点!学笔译可以通过一些好的带有参考答案的资料来练习,对比自己和参考译文,从中找差找缺、不断提高,没有捷径!翻译500万字和翻译50万字,获得的感受、收获会有质的差异!
无需太看重真题,有一套近年真题参考下出题的样式、分值、风格就差不多了

笔译价位以千字XX元计,比较合理的市场价位在150 ---1000元/千字,从低端到高端都有人做,译员收入当然是和能力(翻译质量和速度)直接挂钩的!!我说的这是价格区间是翻译公司对客户的报价,到翻译员手里一半能拿到这个价位的50--60%;你是CATTI 3,建议多接些单子锻炼和提高自己,等水平更好了,再去挑战要求和价位更高的客户/稿子,先从自己最擅长的领域开始吧;翻译是硬打硬凭译文和实力说话的,来不得虚假!是否走职业翻译的路子,可以自己看看我在网络知道回答的其他相关帖子,这里不赘述;如果准备做职业笔译,那建议至少拿下CATTI 2 后熟悉一些专业背景/术语、常规翻译工具、术语库管理等,职业笔译专业化程度很高,也很细分,有意向可以自己慢慢了解,我Q空间也有很多类似的介绍~
CATTTI 3 水平,公司开的单价范围一般是:
英译中 80 --100 /千单词;中译英:70 -- 90元/千中文(仅供参考),如果你有直接客户,单价可翻倍;这个水平阶段审稿必不可少,CATTI 2 做的稿子一般也需要审稿的;
较好翻译公司现在招人普遍是这样的要求:
MTI (翻译硕士,当然外语硕士也OK的)+ CATTI 2 证书 + 熟悉某个或某几个领域的背景知识和术语 + 300万字以上翻译经验 + 熟悉常规翻译软件 + 熟练检索信息 + 通过测试(这条十分重要,很多公司直接看测试效果,其他只作为参考,有些测试不诚信作弊的,后期项目中会很快露马脚,直接被拉入黑名单); 当然了,如果你翻译能力很好,是业内翘楚,这些条条框框对你毫无意义,你直接可以跟别人谈单价,即便你开价高也还是有很多人乐意找你翻译的,毕竟有些客户更在意质量、效果,不缺钱~
不同公司、不同客户群体、不同的价位都有不同要求,CATTI 2 基本上算入门级笔译,因为职业笔译要学习和提高的地方太多了,语言与社会/经济发展息息相关,每年都有新的词汇、新的翻译工具出现,你需要与时俱进,稍不留神就被甩在后面;
目前笔译工作涉及影视、动画、软件、手册、网站、书籍等,覆盖的领域包括电子、金融、化工、医学、机械、法律、商务、外交、专利、论文等,不仅需要从业者具备扎实的双语基础、娴熟的语言转化能力,还需要吃苦耐劳、努力学习、与时俱进,并且熟悉 Trados、SDLX、memoQ、WordFast、X-Bench 等专业化翻译工具(提高翻译统一性、效率、项目管理、QA等),否则很容易被无情淘汰,因为普通笔译工作者的数量实在是太过庞大,持有专八证书、六级证书、CATTI 证书的所谓的“翻译”确实太多太多了;正因为如此,合格笔译者凤毛麟角,测试10人(一般应聘者至少专八以上水平或硕士)往往都难物色到一位较理想的笔译人才,因此合格笔译人才月入15000张左右是司空见惯的,但与金融、IT等比笔译行业整体收入是比较低的,如果你深爱笔译就要有这样的思想准备!
Ⅳ 中国的英语四六级考试什么时候取消
等你发明了一种可以代替四、六级考试而又能更全面的检测一个人英语水平方法来的时候,这种考试就可以取消了,你能行吗?!

Seven Ways to Save the World
Forget the old idea that conserving energy is a form of self-denial—riding bicycles, dimming the lights, and taking fewer showers. These days conservation is all about efficiency: getting the same—or better—results from just a fraction of the energy. When a slump in business travel forced Ulrich Ramer to cut costs at his family—owned hotel in Germany, he replaced hundreds of the hotel’s wasteful light bulbs, getting the same light for 80 percent less power. He bought a new water boiler with a digitally controlled pump, and wrapped insulation around the pipes. Spending about £100,000 on these and other improvements, he slashed his £90,000 fuel and power bill by £60,000. As a bonus, the hotel’s lower energy needs have reced its annual carbon emissions by more than 200 metric tons. “For us, saving energy has been very, very profitable,” he says. “And most importantly, we’re not giving up a single comfort for our guests.”
Efficiency is also a great way to lower carbon emissions and help slow global warming. But the best argument for efficiency is its cost—or, more precisely, its profitability. That’s because quickly growing energy demand requires immense investment in new supply, not to mention the drain of rising energy prices.
No wonder efficiency has moved to the top of the political agenda. On Jan. 10, the European Union unveiled a plan to cut energy use across the continent by 20 percent by 2020. Last March, China imposed a 20 percent increase in energy efficiency by 2020. Even George W. Bush, the Texas oilman, is expected to talk about energy conservation in his State of the Union speech this week.
The good news is that the world is full of proven, cheap ways to save energy. Here are the seven that could have the biggest impact.
Insulate
Space heating and cooling eats up 36 percent of all the world’s energy. There’s virtually no limit to how much of that can be saved, as prototype “zero-energy homes” in Switzerland and Germany have shown. There’s been a surge in new ways of keeping heat in and cold out (or vice versa). The most advanced insulation follows the law of increasing returns: if you add enough you can scale down or even eliminate heating and air-conditioning equipment, lowering costs even before you start saving on utility bills. Studies have shown that green workplaces (ones that don’t constantly need to have the heat or air-conditioner running) have higher worker proctivity and lower sick rates.
Change Bulbs
Lighting eats up 20 percent of the world’s electricity, or the equivalent of roughly 600,000 tons of coal a day. Forty percent of that powers old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs—a 19th-century technology that wastes most of the power it consumes on unwanted heat.
Compact fluorescent lamps, or CFLS, not only use 75 to 80 percent less electricity than incandescent bulbs to generate the same amount of light, but they also last 10 times longer. Phasing old bulbs out by 2030 would save the output of 650 power plants and avoid the release of 700 million tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year.
Comfort Zone
Water boilers, space heaters and air conditioners have been notoriously inefficient. The heat pump has altered that equation. It removes heat from the air outside or the ground below and uses it to supply heat to a building or its water supply. In the summer, the system can be reversed to cool buildings as well.
Most new residential buildings in Sweden are already heated with ground-source heat pumps. Such systems consume almost no conventional fuel at all. Several countries have used subsidies to jump-start the market, including Japan, where almost I million heat pumps have been installed in the past two years to heat water for showers and hot tubs.
Remake Factories
From steel mills to paper factories, instry eats up about a third of the world’s energy. The opportunities to save are vast. In Ludwigshafen, German chemicals giant BASF runs an interconnected complex of more than 200 chemical factories, where heat proced by one chemical process is used to power the next. At the Ludwigshafen site site alone, such recycling of heat and energy saves the company £200 million a year and almost half its CO2 emissions. Now BASF is doing the same for new plants in China. “Optimizing (优化) energy efficiency is a decisive competitive advantage,” says BASF CEO Jurgen Hambrecht.
Green Driving
A quarter of the world’s energy---including two thirds of the annual proction of oil—is used for transportation. Some savings come free of charge: you can boost fuel efficiency by 6 percent simply by keeping your car’s tires properly inflated (充气). Gasoline-electric hybrid(混合型的) models like the Toyota Prius improve mileage by a further 20 percent over conventional models.
A Better Fridge
More than half of all residential power goes into running household appliances, procing a fifth of the world’s carbon emissions. And that’s true even though manufacturers have already hiked the efficiency of refrigerators and other white goods by as much as 70 percent since the 1980s. According to an International Energy Agency study, if consumers chose those models that would save them the most money over the life of the appliance, they’d cut global residential power consumption (and their utility bills) by 43 percent.
Flexible Payment
Who says you have to pay for all your conservation investments? “Energy service contractors” will pay for retrofitting(翻新改造)in return for a share of the client’s annual utility-bill savings. In Beijing. Shenwu Thermal Energy Technology Co. specializes in retrofitting China’s steel furnaces. Shenwu puts up the initial investment to install a heat exchanger that preheats the air going into the furnace, slashing the client’s fuel costs. Shenwu pockets a cut of those savings, so both Shenwu and the client profit.
If saving energy is so easy and profitable, why isn’t everyone doing it? It has do with psychology and a lack of information. Most of us tend to look at today’s price tag more than tomorrow’s potential saving. That holds double for the landlord or developer, who won’t actually see a penny of the savings his investment in better insulation or a better heating system might generate. In many people’s minds, conservation is still associated with self-denial. Many environmentalists still push that view.
Smart governments can help push the market in the right direction. The EU’s 1994 law on labeling was such a success that it extended the same idea to entire buildings last year. To boost the market value of efficiency, all new buildings are required to have an “energy pass” detailing power and heating consumption. Countries like Japan and Germany have successively tightened building codes, requiring an increase in insulation levels but leaving it up to builders to decide how to meet them.
The most powerful incentives, of course, will come from the market itself. Over the past year, sky-high fuel prices have focused minds on efficiency like never before. Ever-increasing pressure to cut costs has finally forced more companies to do some math on their energy use.
Will it be enough? With global demand and emissions rising so fast, we may not have any choice but to try. Efficient technology is here now, proven and cheap. Compared with all other options, it’s the biggest, easiest and most profitable bang for the buck.
