PETSS全國(guó)英語(yǔ)等級(jí)考試第五級(jí)強(qiáng)化訓(xùn)練

前言

　　經(jīng)中英兩國(guó)有關(guān)部門(mén)和雙方專(zhuān)家的多年努力，全國(guó)英語(yǔ)等級(jí)考試體系（Public English Test System，簡(jiǎn)稱(chēng)PETS）已以嶄新的面貌展現(xiàn)在我們的面前?！　ETS的目標(biāo)和宗旨是“建立一個(gè)……擁有五個(gè)級(jí)別的目標(biāo)參照性英語(yǔ)考試體系”，“完善各種考查手段，尤其是聽(tīng)、說(shuō)方面的考查方法，確保各級(jí)別都能考查考生聽(tīng)、說(shuō)、讀、寫(xiě)的能力，以便配合有關(guān)的教學(xué)改革，使考生‘聽(tīng)不懂，說(shuō)不出，難以與外國(guó)人直接交流’的問(wèn)題逐步得以解決”等等?！　ETS共分五個(gè)級(jí)別。在該體系中，PETS Level 5（簡(jiǎn)稱(chēng)PETS5）是最高，也就是最難的一個(gè)級(jí)別，其標(biāo)準(zhǔn)相當(dāng)于我國(guó)大學(xué)英語(yǔ)專(zhuān)業(yè)二年級(jí)結(jié)束時(shí)的水平?！　∧敲?，PETS5和原WSK·EPT有哪些主要區(qū)別呢？　　經(jīng)對(duì)這兩種試卷的剖析，我的看法是：它們的區(qū)別之處遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)相同之處。除不完全排斥對(duì)語(yǔ)法和詞匯等語(yǔ)言知識(shí)的考查外，PETS5是基于交際語(yǔ)言行為模式的一種考試，更側(cè)重于考查使用語(yǔ)言的能力，即交際能力。因此，為了提高考試的效度，PETS5摒棄了過(guò)分強(qiáng)調(diào)信度和過(guò)多采用客觀題的做法，筆試試卷中新設(shè)置的半主觀題和主觀題以及口試都更加符合在國(guó)外使用英語(yǔ)的實(shí)際需要。《全國(guó)英語(yǔ)等級(jí)考試第五級(jí)考試大綱》明確地把能力劃分為“互動(dòng)能力”、“接受能力”和“產(chǎn)出能力”。由此可見(jiàn)，PETS5決不是EPT的簡(jiǎn)單的改版，而是吸取了當(dāng)今先進(jìn)的教育測(cè)試?yán)碚摵托兄行У慕?jīng)驗(yàn)，使題型更加符合我國(guó)留學(xué)人員在國(guó)外使用英語(yǔ)的方式和要求。比如：在“聽(tīng)力”部分增設(shè)考查產(chǎn)出能力的完成句子或回答問(wèn)題的題型；“英語(yǔ)知識(shí)運(yùn)用”部分全部采用半主觀性的填空題；在“閱讀理解”部分增設(shè)了兩篇長(zhǎng)度各達(dá)750～850詞的文章；“寫(xiě)作”部分的詞數(shù)要求增至不少于250詞；“口試”的考查形式更是讓人耳目一新，著重考查互動(dòng)能力和連續(xù)表達(dá)觀點(diǎn)的能力。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　Text 3　　A greta deal can be learned from the actual traces of ancient human locomotion : the footprints of early hominids. The best-known specimens are the remarkable tracks discovered at Lactoli, Tanzania, by Mary Leaky. These were left by small hominids around 3.6 to 3.75 million years ago, according to potassium-argon dates of the volcanic rocks above and below this level. These hominids walked across a stretch of moist, volcanic ash, which was subsequently turned to mud by rain, and which then set like concrete.　　Examination of the shape of the prints revealed to Mary Leakey that the feet had a raised arch, a rounded heel, a pronounced ball, and a big toe that pointed forward. These features, together with the weight-bearing pressure patterns, resembled the prints of upright-walking modem humans. The pres- sures exerted along the foot, together with the lengih of stride, which averaged 87 centimeters, indicated that the hominids had been walking slowly. In short, all the detectable morphological features implied that the feet that left the footprints were very little different from those of contemporary humans.　　A detailed study has been made of the prints using photogrammetry, a technique for obtaining measurements through photographs, which created a drawing showing all the curves and contours of the prints. The result emphasized that there were at least seven points of similarity with modem bipedal prints, such as the depth of the heel impression, and the deep imprint of the big toe.. M. Day and E. Wiekens also took stereophotographs of the Lactoli prints and compared them with modem prints made by men and women in similar soil conditions. Once again, the results furnished possible evidence of bipedalism. Footprints thus provide us not merely with rare impressions 9f the soft tissue of early ho- minids, but also with evidence of upright walking that in many ways is clearer than can be obtained from the analysis of bones.　　The study of fossil footprints is not restricted to examples from such remote periods. Hundreds of prints are known, for example, in French caves dating from the end of the last ice age, approximately 10,000 years ago. Research by Leon Pales, using detailed silicon resin molds of footprints mostly　made by bare feet, has provided information about this period.
