高等学校英语应用能力考试 A级考试大纲
高等学校英语应用能力考试A级考试大纲 总述 我国高等职业教育、普通高等专科教育和成人高等教育的教学目标是培养高级应用性人才，其英语教学应贯彻"实用为主，够用为度"的方针；既要培养学生具备必要的英语语言基础知识，也应强调培养学生运用英语进行有关涉外业务工作的能力。高等学校英语应用能力考试就是为了检验高职高专学生是否达到所规定的教学要求而设置的考试。本考试以《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求（试行）》（简称《基本要求》）为依据，既测试语言知识也测试语言技能，既测试一般性语言内容也测试与涉外业务有关的应用性内容。 考虑到目前我国高职高专学生英语入学水平的现状，《基本要求》将教学要求分为A级要求和B级要求，本考试也相对应的分为A级考试和B级考试。修完《基本要求》规定的全部内容的学生可参加A级考试；修完《基本要求》B级规定的全部内容的学生可参加B级考试。 考试方式为笔试，测试语言知识和读、听、译、写四种技能。口试正在规划之中，待时机成熟时实施。客观性试题有信度较高、覆盖面广的优点，而主观性试题有利于提高测试的效度，能更好的检测考生运用语言的能力，为此本考试采用主客观题混合题型，以保证良好的信度和效度。 本考试按百分制计分，满分为100分。60分及60分以上为及格；85分及85分以上为优秀。考试成绩合格者发给"高等学校英语应用能力考试"相应级别的合格证书。 高等学校英语应用能力考试大纲（A级） 一、考试对象 本大纲适用于修完《基本要求》所规定的全部内容的高等职业教育、普通高等专科教育、成人高等教育和本科办二级技术学院各非英语专业的学生。 二、考试性质 本考试的目的是考核考生的语言知识、语言技能和使用英语处理有关一般业务和涉外交际的基本能力，其性质是教学---水平考试。
英语应用能力A、B级考试翻译题型探析
英语应用能力Ａ、Ｂ级考试翻译题型探析 [摘要]本文从高职高专学生英语应用能力考试的考核目标出发,对传统翻译题型和A、B级翻译题型的利弊进行了分析,并测评了A、B级翻译题型的教与学效果。在实践中,笔者对不同层次的教学对象采用了灵活多样的翻译题型。通过尝试和比较,提出了在语境完整的一段英文中,抽取其中几个典型句子作为英译汉最具挑战性,更能达到考核学生综合能力和提高学生灵活运用能力的目的。 [关键词]A、B级考试翻译效果实践能力 一、前言 全国高等学校英语应用能力考试(PRETCO)简称英语应用能力考试,分为A、B两个级别,能力要求相当于大学英语三级水平,B级为高职高专学生应达到的最低标准要求,B级标准略低于A级,是过渡性要求。A、B级考试根据我国高职院校英语教学的实际和发展的需要,贯彻“实用为主,够用为度”的方针,在同一基础上设置两个级别的考试,既考查学生必备的英语语言基础知识,也测试与涉外业务有关的内容。由于A、B级注重基础的语法结构和应用能力,在难易程度和词汇量等方面有别于本科院校的四、六考试,因此,激发了学生学习英语的兴趣和主动性。 从2000年英语等级考试制度改革后的A、B级考试情况和平常的教学效果来看,笔者认为翻译题型存在一定的束缚性,值得商讨。虽然出题形式改变,但教与学效果不理想,有待于我们总结分析,找出一种更好的题型来测评和提高学生的运用能力。 二、翻译题型分析 翻译题型的变化从一个侧面体现出随着语言测试的发展,更加突出了对考生应用能力的检测。语言测试和评估的发展总趋势,在语言理论上将从重形式转向重语言运用;从测试个别技能转向测试多项技能;从孤立测试语言技能转向几种技能混合测试;从客观题一统天下转向主观题大量增加,语言测试更加以人为本(人性化)。 1.传统翻译题型

题目部分，(卷面共有3题,21.0分,各大题标有题量和总分) 一、Fill in the Blanks with the Right Word（实词填空）(1小题,共1.0分) 1．(0.5分) These charges and interest rates are va_______ and the Bank reserves the right to change them from time to time. 二、Reading Comprehension 阅读理解(2小题,共20.0分) 1．(10分)Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. In the United States a university professor is given a few months of freedom from his duties about every seventh year for travel or advanced study. This period of freedom from teaching is called a “study or research leave”. Its purpose is to give the professor experiences which will make him a wiser person and a better teacher when he returns to his university. Few study leaves are interesting enough to be described in national newspapers and magazines. Recently, however, there was an exception. The public learned how Dr. John R. Coleman, president of Haverford College, had spent his study leave. At the age of 51, Dr. Coleman was determined to escape from university life for a few months and to get a variety of experiences in the world of work. He especially wanted to learn about people. People who do hard physical labor were especially interesting to him. “I wanted to get away from the world of words and political matters and parties – the things a president does,” Dr. Coleman later explained to news writers. “As a college president you begin to take yourself very seriously and to think you have power you don't. You forget things about people. I wanted to relearn things I’d forgotten.” Telling no on e of his plans, Dr. Coleman started his study leave on a farm in Canada, hundreds of miles from his college. Getting up at 4:30 each morning, working thirteen hours a day in fields, he prepared himself physically for his next job, digging ditches in Atlanta, GeorgiA、 After that, the college president washed dishes ina Boston restaurant.
