2011年9月公共英語三級考試筆試試題
Part 1 Listening Comprehension
l聽力分析:此次聽力題目中,生詞不多,主要側(cè)重于習(xí)慣用語、動詞短語的考核。
例如:
1 1 What are the speakers talking about ?
A movie B review C Tv program D football game
原文:
What do you think of the movie? It’s disappointing. We should have watched the football game.( 考點:should have +P.P)
●此外,日常生活場景,如機場,酒店,購物等特定用語,也是考生要密切注意的。
3 Why does the man choose to go by air?
A trains are too full B Buses take a long time C It costs less D It fits the schedule
原文:
…… Go to the summer camp; why do you fly? Buses and trains don’t run. My schedule is full.
4篇短文理解中,第一篇談及Black food is new in America. .In Asia, It has been popular…
people believe it’s healthy….
第二篇是作者生活背景的介紹,I didn’t remember clearly where I was born, because my family moved a lot to look for work…. Possibly , I was born in Queensland…第三篇的話題,相信很多考生并不陌生,談到的是求職問題I can’t seem to find a job. I have handed my resumes to 20companies and got only 2 interviews…同樣的,第四篇的主題也是比較熟悉的內(nèi)容---旅游,不過這篇文章主要是設(shè)計旅游中的支付問題It’s a good idea to have some travel money, such as credit card and travellers’ checks, Most cards can be drawn at ATMS..
Part 2 Cloze test
這篇完形填空依然是重點考核詞匯,所以建議考生平日里要注意詞匯量的積累。
現(xiàn)挑選一些典型詞匯,如下:
Concluded (推論);furthermore(此外);quote(引用);forecasting
(預(yù)測); assuming(假設(shè));overestimates (過高估計);contrary to(于..相反);accomplish(完成)
Part 3 Reading Comprehension
今年的閱讀材料都帶有一定的議論性質(zhì),側(cè)重考生對社會現(xiàn)象的理解。其中很多材料類似于國外報刊雜志的表述,從今年的形勢看,僅有詞匯量很難做好閱讀。
另外閱讀理解篇幅日益增加,現(xiàn)場有些考生在這個部分的時間超過1小時,導(dǎo)致后面的作文,無法認真完成。
1 主題:飲食發(fā)展趨勢
Kearen and ken Mullins, a young professional couple in Cleverland own fifty cook books and two full- equiped kitchen in their house.

……. It is not entirely a question of the time, the take -out fashion is fueled, partly in the popularity of foods like sushi, whichAmericans are unlikely to make at home. Take out fills another need as well, for the atmosphere of a home cooked dinner.
2 主題:選美

Part 4 Composition
分析:
小作文主要是傳統(tǒng)的道歉信。
大作文有一定的難度,是涉及到自然環(huán)境的沙漠化,考場上不少考生沒有理解作文的含義。
