1.2 试题分析及应试技巧
高等学校英语应用能力考试A级的测试项目、内容、题型及时间分配如下：
1. 听力理解（Listening Comprehensive）
这部分测试考生对所听短对话、长对话和简单短文的理解以及从中获取信息的能力。听力理解共包含三个部分：Section A (Short Dialogues)，Section B (Short Conversations)以及Section C、D (Short Passages)。其中Section A中的每一题由一组对话及一个问题组成；Section B由两篇对话组成，每篇含五组小对话；Section C、D由约130词左右的短文构成。
由于听力理解第一部分（Section A）的材料只播放一遍，因此一定要调整好心态，如果遇到未听清、拿不准的试题，千万不能死抓住该道题不放或者背上思想包袱，这样只会影响做其他的题。其实即使录音全部放完后，也可通过回忆问句的大意，做出正确的回答。而第二部分（Section B）会话虽然长了不少，但录音共放两遍，而且题目的设置并不太难，题型与第一部分相似而难度有所下降，因此关键是放松心态，调整好状态。并且事先记牢、练熟相关题型，看看答案的设置就可以大致推测出属于哪一种题型，猜测出可能的情景，这样听时就可以做到有的放矢，减轻很多认知加工负担。在听听力时，边听边做笔记。记下相关信息，为答题提供参考
2. 语法结构（Structure）
本部分包括两节：多项选择和用单词的适当形式填空。多项选择为客观试题，要求考生从四个正确程度不等的选项中选择最合适的一个，用以补充完整题干所提供的不完整的英语句子。用单词的适当形式填空为主观试题，要求考生写出题干中所提供的英语单词的适当形式。
根据历年真题的常考的知识点，复习时应重点复习时态、从句、虚拟语气和倒装结构等语法，尤其是和动词相关的一系列用法(如非谓语动词，不定式，动词词组辨析和动词词义辨析等)。同时，通过阅读英语语篇，也培养良好的英语语感，加深对所学语法知识的理解，培养运用语法知识的能力。结合语篇学习语法，能加强对所学语法内容的记忆。
3. 阅读理解（Reading Comprehension）
本部分采用多项选择、填空、简答、匹配等题型，由数篇阅读材料组成。总阅读量约1000单词。每篇材料后有5道题，考生应根据所读材料内容进行解答。
阅读材料包括一般性阅读材料（文化、社会、常识、科普、经贸、人物等）和应用性材料，但不包括诗歌、小说、散文等文学性材料。其中，实用性阅读材料约占60%。除一般性文章外，阅读的应用文限于《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求（试行）》中“交际范围表”所规定的读译范围，如：函电、广告、说明书、业务单证、合同书、摘要、序言等。
A级测试的阅读理解部分包含大量的事实细节题。这类试题的答案都可以从文章中直接找到，但是答案比较分散。因此在阅读时标记主要事实或细节，解题时可以重点阅读标记处，这样有助于节省时间。词义理解题，需要借助上下文中的相关信息，在整体理解的情况下仔细推敲，捕捉线索。解答主旨大意题时要通过理解、分析全文，掌握主要信息，因此阅读时必须留心关键词句，注意弦外之音。要理解作者的原意，而不能按自己的意愿去想当然。
4. 翻译—英译汉（Translation — English to Chinese）
这部分测试形式包括句子翻译和段落翻译。句子翻译测试形式为客观题，要求考生从四个正确程度不等的选项中为题干中提供的英语句子选择汉语译文。句子翻译共4个小题。段落翻译测试形式为主观试题，要求考生将一段长度约为80-100词的说明性短文译为简明流畅的英语。
在应对这部分时，需对所译句子和段落进行全面细致的分析，不能根据个别单词的含义对整个句子的意思进行主观臆断。在分析句子时，应遵循“从宏观到微观”的原则，先找出句子的主干，然后再对其他的修饰限制成分进行深入分析，最后将分析的结果加入已设定的句子框架内。
5. 写作/汉译英（Writing/Translation — Chinese to English）
这部分主要考查考生套写、书写、填写或翻译应用性短文、信函，填写英文表格及其他简短的实用性文字的能力。应用文写作包括摘要、通告、信函、简历表、申请书、协议书等。汉译英主要为应用性短文的翻译。
应对写作，首先应确定试题要求写的是什么文体，是商务信函、电子邮件、征稿启事、招聘广告还是通知等等，然后，应确定写作重点，明确题目要求写什么内容，字数要求是多少，格式要求是正式还是非正式等。语言简洁，表达合理，条理清晰，格式正确，不要遗漏要点。写完之后应该对所写作文进行全面的检查，主要检查句子是否完整，语句是否通顺，有无重大语法错误（主谓是否一致、时态、语态、语气）等。

17. She didn’t know _____ to express her ideas in English clearly in public.
A) which
B) why
C) what
D) how【答案】D【解析】考点：句意推断。句意：她不知道在公众面前如何用英语清晰地表达自己的观点。从句意来看，这里需要表达“如何之意”，故用副词how，所以确定答案为D。which表示选择关系，不符合题意。why表示原因，不合题意。what需充当成分，而题干中to express her ideas成分完整。这三项均可以排除。
18. _____ the weather improves, we will suffer a huge loss in the tourist industry.

B) which
C) what
D) whether【答案】A【解析】考点：同位语从句。句意：我们对于布莱克先生荣获最佳经理这一好消息深感高兴。此处that引导同位语从句，从句对the good news进行说明解释。故答案选A。其他选项均不正确。

21. Would you please pass me the book _____ cover is black?
A) which
B) whose
C) that
D) its【答案】B【解析】考点：定语从句。句意：请递给我黑色封皮的那本书好吗？先行词为the book，而cover与the book之间存在所属关系，即“书的封面”，故连接词应为whose。故答案选B。
22. _____ in the company for three years, Mark has become experienced in business negotiations.
A) Having worked
B) Have been working
C) Have worked
D) Worked【答案】A【解析】考点：现在分词。句意：马克在这个公司工作了三年，有过商业谈判的经验。时间状语for three years表示一段时间，应该用完成时；分词所表示的动作先于主句谓语动词发生，即马克在公司工作为先，有谈判经验为后；主语Mark与动词work之间是逻辑上的主动关系，所以用主动形式。故答案选A。
23. Not until she arrived at the meeting room _____ she had forgotten to bring the document.
A) she realized
B) did she realize
C) she did realize
D) does she realize【答案】B【解析】考点：倒装结构。句意：直到他到了自习室才意识到忘带文件了。not ... until ...直到……才……，放在句首时，句子要倒装。其结构为“Not until＋从句/表时间的词＋助动词＋（主句）主语＋谓语＋……”。题干是过去式，在构成部分倒装结构时，要借助于助动词did，且要置于主语she之前，因此答案选B。

A) because
B) though
C) so
D) while【答案】C【解析】考点：连词辨析。意：约翰从来没有出过国，因此他觉得商业旅行很有趣。根据句意可知，前后两句存在因果关系，即前因后果，故应用so。
25. _____ some students are able to find employment after graduation, others will have to return to school and earn an advanced degree.
A) Since
B) While
C) Because
D) If【答案】B【解析】考点：连词辨析。句意：一些学生在毕业后能找到工作，而另外一些则不得不重返学校以修得更高的学位。由题意可知，前后两句之间是对比关系；while在此用作并列连词，意为“而，然而”，其余选项均没有此用法。故选B。
Section B

28. The purpose of new technology is to make life (easy) _____, not to make it more difficult.【答案】easier【解析】考点：形容词比较级。句意：新科技的目的是让生活更容易，而不是让生活更困难。此处出现了并列表语结构，后面一句出现“more”一词，可知全句使用的是比较级，故选用easy的比较级形式easier。
29. The proposal about the annual sales (discuss) _____ at the next board meeting.【答案】will be discussed/ is to be discussed/ should be discussed【解析】考点：一般将来时以及被动语态。句意：关于年度销售的提议将在下一次的董事会议上讨论。由“在下次董事会议上”可知，全句时态可使用将来时，故选用will/ be to句型。也可将情态动词should用于此句，表示一种带有建议语气的陈述。
30. Since we work in different sections of the company, we see each other only (occasional) _____.【答案】occasionally【解析】考点：词性转换。句意：因为我们在公司不同的部门工作，所以我们只是偶尔见见面。此处使用occasional的副词形式occasionally来修饰动词see。
31. Some domestic manufacturers are busy increasing production, losing the chance to develop more (advance) _____ technology.【答案】advanced【解析】考点：词性转换。句意：许多国内的生产厂家都在忙着提高产量，失去了发展更高科技的机会。空格后为名词technology，所以此处使用advance的形容词形式advanced。
32. I shall appreciate your effort in (correct) _____ this error in my bank account as soon as possible.【答案】correcting【解析】考点：动名词。句意：我很感激你这么快就更正了我在银行账户中的错误。in为介词，后接动词ing形式，故此处使用correct的动名词形式correcting。
33. If your neighbors are too noisy, then you have a good reason to make your (complain) _____.【答案】complaint【解析】考点：词性转换。句意：如果你的邻近太吵，那么你有充分的理由抱怨了。空格前是形容词性物主代词your，后面需要填入名词，故此处使用complain的名词形式complaint。
34. 30 percent of the students who (interview) _____ yesterday believe they should continue with their education until they have a university degree.【答案】were interviewed【解析】考点：一般过去时及被动语态。句意：昨天受访的学生中，30%的人认为他们应该继续接受教育，直到取得大学学位。空格为定语从句的谓语部分，根据句意可知，先行词students与interview之间是被动关系，而时间状语为yesterday，故此处使用interview的一般过去时的被动态were interviewed。
35. Measures should be taken to avoid the negative effect (bring) _____ about by unfair competition.【答案】brought【解析】考点：非谓语动词。句意：应该采取措施来避免不正当的竞争带来的负面影响。原句有谓语动词，故此处为非谓语，negative effect与bring about之间是被动关系，所以要使用bring的过去分词brought。
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Google, the Internet search-engine company, has announced it will give more than twenty-five million dollars in money and investments to help the poor. The company says the effort involves using the power of information and technology to help people improve their lives.
Aleem Walji works for Google.org—the part of the company that gives money to good causes. He said the company’s first project will help identify where infectious(传染性的) diseases are developing. In Southeast Asia and Africa, for example, Google.org will work with partners to strengthen early-warning systems and take action against growing health threats.
Google.org’s second project will invest in ways to help small and medium-sized businesses grow. Walji says microfinance(小额信贷) is generally small, short-term loans that create few jobs. Instead, he says Google.org wants to develop ways to bring investors and business owners together to create jobs and improve economic growth.
Google.org will also give money to help two climate-change programs announced earlier this year. One of these programs studies ways to make renewable(再生的) energy less costly than energy. The other is examining the efforts being made to increase the use of electric cars.
The creators of Google have promised to give Google.org about one percent of company profits and one percent of its total stock value every year. Aleem Walji says this amount may increase in the future.
36. The purpose of Google’s investments is to _____.
A) help poor people
B) develop new technology
C) expand its own business
D) increase the power of information
37. According to Aleem Walji, the company’s first project is to _____.
A) set up a new system to warn people of infectious diseases
B) find out where infectious diseases develop
C) identify the causes of infectious diseases
D) cure patients of infectious diseases
38. What kind of businesses will benefit from Google.org’s second project?
A) large enterprises
B) cross-national companies.
C) foreign-funded corporations
D) small and medium-sized businesses
