从上次的六级改革以后,在英语六级中,写作和翻译部分分值比例为20%。其中,写作部分15%,翻译部分5%。

  翻译,虽然翻译也是往年六级考试备选题型之一,但从样题看出,这一题型发生了重大变化,由考查英译汉转变为考查汉译英。翻译部分测试的是句子、短语或常用表达层次上的中译英能力。换言之,和高层次的翻译考试不同,六级翻译将很少涉及文化的深层表达。也就是,只考查语言本身。

  另外,由于难以在全国范围内大规模控制翻译部分的评分标准和尺度,所以,翻译只设定了5%的比值。因此,虽然该部分以汉译英的命题形式出现,考点的实质仍是基础知识,如果考生备考时能够牢固掌握核心知识点,拿到汉译英部分分数应该是相对容易的。但是需要注意到的是,汉译英部分的做题时间只有5分钟,这就意味着考生必须对知识点掌握足够熟练,满足考题在速度上的要求。

  总之,就新六级中只占5%的TRANSLATION而言,它的实质是变相的测试语法和短语结构。考生无需过度紧张于翻译技能和文化内涵。

  写作,四六级改革中,作文是唯一不会也不可能改动的部分,作文,在出题方式上将基本沿袭稳健、成熟的出题风格。

  考试作文大致可分为四大类:1、原因现象对策;2、正反论证;3、图表及漫画;4、永恒性话题。本次样题采用的是05年6月的作文题目,原因现象对策类文章。

  应试对策:

  一、简单思维。在作文考试中,不少考生力图希望用自己限有的词汇和语言基础,表达复杂的思想感情,这是一大弊病。四级考试是对英语语言运用能力的考查,得分的高低不是取决于思想的复杂性,分析能力的高低或内容的标新立异。所以,对文章的思考越简单,就越有利于自己的语言发挥。另外,简单的表述,也有利于避免出现简单但严重的错误。

  二、灵活的借用议论文句式。在刚才的例文中,我们不难发现,它的开头和结尾句是套用议论文的成熟句式,这样句子质量比较高,和自己临时编造的句子相比,减少了错误发生的可能。同时,这样也避免了过于俗套。

  三、灵活借用议论文套路。从近几年的四级考试作文看来,尽管实用性提高了,但行文大多可以套用"中心句+1、2、3"模式。即,每段第一句是Topic sentence,改编自该段相对应的提纲,后面的1、2、3是链接词,每个1、2、3后接分支观点。这种表达,中心突出,层次分明,同时也节省了考生构思结构的麻烦。

  主观题注意事项:

  作为主观题,当然大多人工阅卷,所以应避免如字迹潦草、书写不规范、拼写错误等。目前,全国越来越多的四六级考试阅卷点已经采用电子阅卷,即主观题试卷扫描后在电脑上进行阅卷,而批阅上海试卷的江苏省南京大学阅卷点已经实施了这一操作方法,因此,考生在完成主观题时必须特别注意字迹清晰工整,避免非战斗性损失的发生。

  总结:本次四六级题型改革,借鉴了国内外较成功的语言测试体系,更加提高了其科学性、客观性和可操作性。作为中国人自己的英语水平测试,尽管它不是最好的语言测试工具,但目前难以找到比他更好的大规模测试方法。所以,四六级考试的科学性、权威性,和它的认可程度,在当前情况下难以动摇。

The significance for (controlling pollution) noted that it's high time that more effective measures should be taken.

Statistics of Family Expenses in Shanghai

                      1980   1990    2000
Food & Clothing  68%    45%   20%
Recreation            3%     5%    8%
Education             6%    16%   22%
Health Care         6%    10%   16%
Others               17%    24%   35%
1.根据上图描述该城市家庭支出的变化
2.分析产生这些变化的原因
3.说明这些变化对个人和社会产生的影响




As is shown in the table above, dramatic changes have taken place in family expenses in the City of Shanghai within two decades (from 1980 to 2000). The most obvious change is in expense on food and clothing, which has dropped by 48%, while those on recreation, education and health care have increased respectively by 5%, l6% and l0%. Expenses on other things keep rising from 17% to 35%.

The statistics of rise and fall seem to exist in isolation but are in fact closely related to one another. The most likely factors accounting for these changes are as follows:

Development in economy is the fundamental one. The increased income results in the lowering percentage of food and clothing. That is to say, a small percentage of the total income is enou5h to cover food and clothing expenses.

Another factor lies in the development of people’s concept. When people are well fed and well dressed, they begin to interest themselves in recreation and education.

These changes should also be attributed to social reforms. In the 1990’s, college education was not totally free as it was before, which also accounts for the rising expenses on education. Soon after, the government gradually stopped offering houses to its citizens without charges. People had to save a large proportion of their money for housing. That's partly why the expenses for ''others'' doubled.

As for the more expenses on health care, I figure there are two main reasons: the cancellation of free medical care and people’s awareness of the importance of health.

The changes reflect the development of the city and indicate that people are enjoying more.

Campus Life
Early in senior high school, we longed to be enrolled in a university. Now the dream has come true. But how do we college students like our campus life?

Certainly, some relish it, finding it colorful and rewarding. Besides study, they spend considerable amount of time improving themselves in various aspect. Yet others do not think much of their college life, thus do not benefit as much. In their eyes, the university is just a bigger high school. The only difference is that they have more time at their disposal without parents looking over their shoulder.

As to me, college life is ideal if only I have abundant books to read, some bosom friends to keep me company, a couple of conscientious professors to instruct me, and an easy access to the Internet.
