上海新東方：英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試試卷完整評(píng)析

　　作者：陳文笠

　　本次考試聽力部分就起內(nèi)容難度而言較之前幾次考試略有上升，但究其本質(zhì)與之前的考點(diǎn)保持平行，主要體現(xiàn)在其短對(duì)話和聽寫難度有所降低，而長(zhǎng)對(duì)話長(zhǎng)度卻提出了空前的挑戰(zhàn)，PASSAGE文章本身難度也較過去幾年略有提升。本次考試短對(duì)話的重心在于考察男生女生關(guān)系特點(diǎn)；而PASSAGE的考點(diǎn)則著重集中于首、末句的考察；長(zhǎng)對(duì)話主要考試特征第一篇偏向短對(duì)話而第二篇?jiǎng)t偏向PASSAGE；聽寫部分句子長(zhǎng)度基本都控制得較好，在15~20詞之間，且單詞難度都偏低。由此可見，考官還是試圖結(jié)合大量考察考點(diǎn)，平均安排難度系數(shù)，來照顧到考試本身對(duì)考生考察的效果。

　　女性地位高于男性的特征可以說在這里考試中考得酣暢淋漓，可以說幾乎是三句話不離本行。

　　W: I won the first prize in the National Writing Contest and I got this camera as an award.

　　M: It’s a good camera! You can take it when you travel. I had no idea you were a marvelous writer.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　有那么多句子供考官考察，偏偏考官都沒看上眼，就把答案鎖定在了D) The man admires the woman’s talent in writing.上，這絕非是沒有道理的。

　　M: I wish I hadn’t thrown away that reading list!

　　W: I thought you might regret it. That’s why I picked it up from the waste paper basket and left it on the desk.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　女人在本句中又MS有了先知先覺，居然還能將男人誤以為是垃圾扔掉的“廢紙”撿回、保存，在男人后悔莫及之時(shí)還能完璧歸趙實(shí)在有點(diǎn)讓人懷疑四、六級(jí)考題中男人的愚昧和女人的睿智。果然，考官的答案依然以這一思路為背景選擇了B) The woman saved the man some trouble.

　　M: Jane missed the class again, didn’t she? I wonder why?

　　W: Well, I knew she had been absent all week. So I called her this morning to see if she was sick. It turned out that her husband was badly injured in a car accident.

　　Q: What does the woman say about Jane?

　　難得出現(xiàn)個(gè)翹課的女人，結(jié)果還是因?yàn)榧抑械恼煞蚴軅�在�?果然男人總是很衰)，所以全心照顧，因此才落了課程。而答案孕育而生于此，故選擇了D) She has been away from school to attend to her husband.

　　本次考試另一大特征就是選項(xiàng)混淆性頗高，具有相當(dāng)?shù)拿曰笮浴?/P>

　　W: Did you watch the 7 o’clock program on channel 2 yesterday evening? I was about to watch it when someone came to see me.

　　M: Yeah! It reported some major breakthrough in cancer research. People over 40 would find the program worth watching.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation about the TV program?

　　乍看之下，也有同學(xué)會(huì)選擇“本片專為癌癥病人播放”這一答案，而對(duì)話中其實(shí)只談及是癌癥研究方面的紀(jì)錄片，除了病人也許也同樣適合預(yù)防使用，因此混淆選項(xiàng)過分推理，導(dǎo)致錯(cuò)誤。而只有答案C) It might appeal more to viewers over 40.適合本句原意，顧選。
