第1章 全国大学生英语竞赛A类考试指导
1.1 考试简介
全国大学生英语竞赛（National English Contest for College Students,简称NECCS）是经教育部有关部门批准，由高等学校大学外语教学指导委员会和高等学校大学外语教学研究会联合主办，英语辅导报社承办的全国唯一的大学生英语综合能力竞赛。本竞赛是全国性大学英语学科竞赛。旨在贯彻落实教育部关于大学英语教学改革精神，促进大学生英语水平的全面提高，激发学生学习英语的兴趣，鼓励英语学习成绩优秀的大学生。这项竞赛活动，既可以展示各高校大学英语教学改革的成果，又可以有助于学生打好英语基础，提高综合运用英语的能力，推动全国大学英语教学上一个新台阶。
本竞赛内容主要包括大学英语学习阶段应掌握的英语基础知识和读、听、说、写、译五方面的技能，特别是英语综合运用能力。从2007年开始竞赛分A、B、C、D四个类别，全国各高校的研究生及本、专科所有年级学生均可自愿报名参赛。A类考试适用于研究生参加；B类考试适用于英语专业本、专科的学生参加；C类考试适用于非英语专业的本科生参加；D类考试适用于体育类和艺术类的本科生和高职高专类的学生参加。本竞赛面向大多数学生，提倡“重在参与”的奥林匹克精神，坚持自愿报名参加的原则，避免仅仅选拔“尖子”参加竞赛，而把大多数学生排除在竞赛之外的做法。
全国大学生英语竞赛A类考试的初赛和决赛赛题的命题将依据《非英语专业研究生英语教学大纲》等文件，并借鉴国内外最新的测试理论和命题技术、方法，既要参考现行各种大学英语教材，又不依据任何一种教材；既要贴近当代大学生的学习和生活，又要有利于检测出参赛大学生的实际英语水平。本竞赛的初、决赛赛题注意信度和效度，内容上体现真实性、实用性、交流性和时代性。
本竞赛分初赛、决赛和总决赛三个阶段进行。初赛和决赛均为全国统一命题，由全国大学生英语竞赛组织委员会办公室统一制作赛卷（包括答题纸）和听力磁带（包括听力赛卷）。初赛包括笔答和听力两种方式。决赛分两种方式，各地可任选一种：第一种是只参加笔试，第二种是参加笔试和口试。只参加笔试的学生，笔试时间为120分钟，决赛成绩满分（含听力）为150分。既参加笔试又参加口试的学生，除笔试外，口试时间为20分钟左右，口试卷分数为50分，满分是200分。总决赛中主要赛事为英语演讲比赛、英语风采大赛和英语辩论赛。
每年竞赛时间初赛安排在四月的第二个星期日举行，决赛定于五月的第二个星期日举行，总决赛定于每年暑假期间举行。

1.3 试题分析
一、试卷结构
全国大学生英语竞赛从2007年开始分A、B、C、D四个类别，根据全国大学生英语竞赛A类历年试题来看，虽然个别题型的出题形式会发生细微变化，但试卷结构大的题型框架不变，试卷命题日趋正规化和标准化，整个试卷共分八部分—听力、词汇和语法、阅读理解、完形填空、翻译、改错、智力测试以及写作，总分150分，答卷时间共120分钟。
需要说明的是，从2014年开始全国大学生英语竞赛在保持整体赛题难度不变的基础上，统一了各类别赛题的命题结构和标准，对部分竞赛题型和分值进行了适当调整，使得本竞赛能够更加科学地考查参赛者在英语运用方面的能力，凸显本竞赛的特色。2017年再次作出调整，具体调整如下：
①听力理解试题Section B部分第一篇长对话由原来的选择题改为判断题；Section D部分由原来一篇的摘要填空，变为两个短篇，一篇复合式听写，一篇摘要填空；
②第二部分试题原来统称为：词汇、语法和文化，现在改为词汇和语法，不再专门考查文化试题，但部分试题内容会涉及一些国家和地区的文化知识；
③阅读理解第一篇判断题改为表格填空题；
④汉译英翻译试题原来是单独的5个句子翻译，现在改为整段篇章中划线句子的翻译。
二、题型分析
根据全国大学生英语竞赛A类考试最新真题以及其试题的命题依据《非英语专业研究生英语教学大纲》，下面分别对每种题型的出题方式、考核要求等内容具体加以说明。
Ⅰ. 听力理解（Listening Comprehension）
1. 考核要求
全国大学生英语竞赛A类听力部分主要考查考生获取口头信息的能力（理解主旨大意、听懂重要的事实和细节、推断隐含的意义、判断言语的交际功能、分辨说话人的观点态度等），要求考生在听完听力材料以后了解内容大意，抓住有关细节，并能进行综合归纳、推理，领会说话人的观点、态度、意图等。语速为每分钟150词左右（六级或略高于六级水平）。
2. 出题形式
全国大学生英语竞赛A类听力部分出题方式较为稳定，2017年开始题型调整为为四个方面：短对话、长对话、新闻、复合式听写以及摘要填空。另外需要说明的是，2018年听力部分进行了微调，短对话部分原来问题会显示在试卷上，现在改为在录音中读出，难度略有增加。
短对话、长对话（第二篇）、新闻听力部分出题形式为多选题（Multiple choice），选项为四个（2014年以前为三个）；第一篇长对话为判断正误题；复合式听写和摘要填空出题形式为主观题，单词或短语填空。
3. 题量分值
该部分共30小题，每题1分，共计30分，答题时间建议30分钟左右。
需要注意的是全国大学生英语竞赛A类听力部分录音只放一遍。
Ⅱ. 词汇和语法（Vocabulary & Grammar）
1. 考核要求
该部分共包含三种题型：词汇题、语法题和情景对话题。
词汇方面，理解性掌握5000个左右的常用单词及500个左右常用词组，复用性掌握其中2000个左右的基本词。认知120个左右常用词根和词缀，并能根据构词法识别派生词。
语法方面，能较熟练地运用语法知识，能理解语法结构复杂的长难句。
情景对话方面，是以书面形式考查学生是否具有用英语进行口语交际的能力。
2. 出题形式
词汇测试主要集中表现为同义近义词辨析、近形词辨析、词组搭配辨析(包括短语动词、介词搭配及习惯用语)。
语法知识点主要为时态、复合句(名词性从句、定语从句、状语从句等)、倒装句、非谓语结构(包括独立主格)和虚拟语气。
情景对话题的基本形式是，通过提供一定的语境，将语言放在交际的实际情景中去考查。试题一般以补全对话选择题的形式出现，要求从选项中选择一个最佳答语或问句。
文化题考点主要涉及英国和美国两个国家的概况（2007年B类竞赛有1道试题涉及的是加拿大的情况）。
出题形式均为多选题（Multiple choice）。
3. 题量分值
该部分共15小题，每题1分，共计15分，答题时间建议10分钟左右。
Ⅲ. 完形填空（Cloze）
1. 考核要求
从语篇的角度，全面考查考生综合的阅读能力、对词汇的掌握程度、语法规则的应用、对英语习惯用法的熟悉程度、逻辑推理能力以及对英语的语感等英语实际应用能力。
2. 出题形式
根据历年真题，出题形式主要有三种类型：
①一篇含有若干处空缺的文章，空缺处所需的单词已给出，要求考生用所给单词的正确形式填空；
②一篇含有若干处空缺的文章，空缺处所需的单词的前几个字母（不超过3个）已给出，要求考生把单词补充完整；
③一篇含有若干处空缺的文章，没有任何提示，要求考生根据上下文语境填出单词。
需要注意的是，这三种出题形式不是被单一考察的。从2009年开始同一篇文章会同时用到多种考查方式，而通过大学生英语竞赛A类完形填空出题形式的变化，可以看出这部分的难度正在呈增加的趋势，考生应引起足够的重视。
3. 题量分值
该部分共10小题，每题1分，共计10分，答题时间建议10分钟左右。
Ⅳ. 阅读理解（Reading Comprehension）
1. 考核要求
该部分题目主要考查参赛者快速阅读篇章，获取篇章中的重要信息并作出判断的能力；通读篇章，对篇章内每段文字信息及大意的概括能力；精读篇章，准确理解篇章信息及问题并正确作答的能力；准确把握文章大意及细节信息，补全文章大意的能力。
2. 出题形式
根据历年真题可知，该部分共出现过七种类型：
①要求考生根据所读材料的内容，从每道题的选择项中选出一个最佳答案，出题形式为多选题（Multiple choice）；
②要求考生根据所读材料的内容，对题目中含有空缺的句子补充完整，即complete statements题型；
③要求考生根据所读材料的内容，对题目给出的句子判断正误，即Ture/False题型；
④要求考生根据所读材料的内容，然后补全含有空缺的对所给材料的摘要，即summary题型（摘要题）；
⑤要求考生根据所读材料的内容，简要回答题目所提出的问题，即short answer questions题型；
⑥给出一篇文章的若干个句子或段落标题，要求根据每段所讲述的内容从选项中选出最适合的填入文中空缺处，即Choosing from the sentences/ headings题型（匹配题）；
⑦要求考生根据所读材料的内容，补全含有空缺的表格，即Chart-Filling题型（表格填空题）。
相对其他题型而言，阅读部分是变动较大、出题形式最灵活的题型，需要注意的是，从2014年开始，试卷结构相对标准化，2017年调整前，阅读部分出题形式均为③、④、⑤、⑥题型，①、②题型已不再考查。2017年题型改革后，判断正误题被表格填空题取代，最后四种题型很可能作为以后命题的常规出题形式。但是建议考生复习时不要仅仅以最近一年的真题为模版，对曾考到的题型也不要完全忽视。官方一般会在全国大学生英语竞赛考试前一个月公布考试样题，考生可以此作为考试题型的最终参考依据。
3. 题量分值
该部分共20小题，共计35分，答题时间建议20分钟左右。
Ⅴ. 翻译（Translation）
1. 考核要求
该部分分为英译汉和汉译英两个部分。英译汉考查参赛者照顾上下文及语言表达等的综合翻译能力。考生应该能从语篇的角度正确理解概念或结构稍显复杂的英语材料，并能用准确、达意的汉语书面表达出来。汉译英其本质是考察英语中的常见句法、核心语法理解及一些固定搭配的使用的考察。
2. 出题形式
英译汉采取整段翻译的形式进行考查；汉译英要求考生翻译整段篇章中指定的句子，每个句子均给出一个英语关键词或词组作为提示。
3. 题量分值
英译汉部分共1道题，形式为整段篇章翻译，计5分；汉译英部分共5道小题，为5个句子翻译，每题2分，共计10分，答题时间建议15分钟左右。
Ⅵ. 改错（Error Correction）
1. 考核要求
要求学生能运用语法、修辞、结构等语言知识识别短文内的语病并提出改正的方法。
2. 出题形式
本题由一篇短文组成，短文中有10行标有题号。该10行每行最多含有一个语误，也可能没有语误。要求学生根据“增添”“删去”或“改变其中的某一单词或短语”三种方法中的一种，以改正语误。
3. 题量分值
该部分共10小题，每题1分，答题时间建议5分钟左右。
Ⅶ. 智力测试（IQ Test）
1. 考核要求
该部分试题主要考查考生的逻辑推理、数字运算、常识判断及灵活应变的思维能力。由于试题以英文出现，所以同时也考查考生的英文水平。
2. 出题形式
以问答或填空形式出题，其中部分试题配有图片。
需要注意的是，以前IQ Test试题均为客观选择题，从2008年开始，改为主观题型，难度也随之加大。另外，智力测试题是语言类竞赛特有的一种题型，考虑到其在提高本竞赛整体的知识性及趣味性的作用，本届竞赛在题目设计方面，2014年开始将更加偏重于英语语言方面进行命题。
3. 题量分值
该部分共5小题，每题1分，答题时间建议5分钟左右。
该部分试题对有些考生来说，难度很大，在考试过程中，考生要合理分配好考试时间，切忌在该部分花费太多的时间。
Ⅷ. 写作（Writing）

命题作文部分主要考查考生获取所给材料信息的能力，考生的思辨能力及表达能力等。
2. 出题形式
应用文部分主要是对投诉信、询问信、建议信、求职信等信件的考查。图表作文主要涉及柱状图、饼状图、曲线图等。
命题作文部分通常为议论文。
3. 题量分值
应用文和命题作文部分各要求写一篇文章，应用文要求100词左右，分值为10分；命题作文要求160词左右，分值为20分。答题时间建议30分钟左右。

Anny: Hi there. I’m Edith Richardson and this is Howdini.com. If you wanna learn how to ace a job interview, stay tuned. We’re about to talk about it with Maggie Mistal, who was a life purpose and career coach, who can be heard regularly on Martha Stewart Living Radio on series. Thank you so much for being with us.
Maggie: Thanks, Edy.
Anny: You show up your dress properly, you walk in to inner to meet the interviewer... What’s the first thing you do when you walk in?
Maggie: I love to smile, and obviously I think you can tell by that. But I like to make the interviewer just as Edy is, I’m trying to be, because really this interview is a conversation that you’re gonna have with the other person, who is a human being. And it can be a real ice-breaker if you can just be relaxed at least gives yourself a break. Say “hi”, “how are you?” and even try to talk about the weather or some type of other ice-breakers that can give everybody a chance to take a deep breath. Because this is invaluable to take a conversation and it can be nerve-wracking for both parties.
Anny: So the interviewer says to that perspective employee “Why do you wanna leave your job?”
Maggie: Yes, that’s always a great question, isn’t it? And you have to be prepared for those key questions, especially why you are moving on. Now if you’re moving on because you can’t stand your boss, (right?) which happens a lot and we’ve all been there. You don’t want to say that. What you do want to say is that “I really need to be in a place where I can be managed and developed and where I can get guidance or mentoring”. You really focus on anything that you’re looking to get as opposed to all the reasons why you don’t have it now.
Anny: There are some people who walk into that interview and they walk in a little defensively, and they... because they really need a job, and they hear the words “You’re overqualified” and they’re willing to take a job and do their best at it. How do you handle “You’re overqualified”?
Maggie: You can say things like... well, I’m... you know I really thought about that if I was in your shoes I should be asking the same question. And when I think about it I can tell you for a fact and I’m looking to downshift. And I know this industry well and I don’t need to be in charge. I’ve been the person on the totem pole before. I can do that again. I’m really looking for a place where I can contribute but I don’t have to be the one who’s running the show. And (you) really address those concerns which are behind the overqualified combat.
Anny: And they may say “You just don’t have enough experience for us.”
Maggie: For folks just starting out may be a new career, or college students who just graduated or even folks at high school who needed the work world. That is a common problem. So again I go back to... Internships are great anyway that you can get some experience on your resume to demonstrate “Hey yeah, I may not be, you know, 10 years in this field but I can tell you this experience that I had this summer. I didn’t know anything going in and here’s how successful I was.” You wanna show situations where... yeah... you went in without a lot of experience but were still able to succeed and this is for references can be so helpful as well. Even you don’t have a lot of experience; anybody can be great reference for you. Even a teacher, or professor or even someone that you volunteer for, who can attest to your ability to learn quickly and perform well can be a great asset.
Anny: “We really like you, how much money are you looking for?” And such a trick question.
