The average North American driver travels 12,000 miles per year.In order to get the maxi-mum life out of a automobile, you must provide it with proper maintenance.Proper maintenance can reduce air pollution, extend the value of the vehicle, save on fuel bills, prevent breakdowns, and lead to better performance.You should change the oil in all of your vehicles every 3,000 miles.Whenever you change the oil you can also change the oil filter.Oil filters remove dirt and debris(廢物,垃圾)from oil.As the car runs the oil filter will become clogged with excess debris from the oil.In order for an engine to run, it also requires air.This air must6 be filtered to shop dirt from damaging the en-gine.Every time you change the vehicle’s oil you should inspect the car for any unexpected wear and tear.Due to the performance and sheer heat of combustion car engines become very hot.Anti-freeze(防凍劑,抗凝劑)is used as a coolant for your vehicle system.This coolant should be replaced every two years.By doing this you extend the life of your radiator(散熱器).Other fluids that require maintenance at 60,000 miles include brake fluid, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid.The use of properly inflated and well maintained tires is critical.The tire that holds the car to the road is your first line of safety.Tires usually have a life expectancy(壽命)dictated by the manufacturer.It is recommended that you follow his life expectancy which usually averages 3,000 miles.A vehicle should be driven properly by not exerting extra stress.Extra stress can lead to overheating.Overheating is the prime cause of premature life of belts, gaskets(密封墊), hoses, and seals.If any of these parts become a problem it is a much better idea to replace the part than to repair it.21.On average, how many times a year should a year should a North American driver change their oil?(A)A 4
22.How often should you stabilize the temperature of internal damage?(C)C Four times a year
23.What fluid helps stabilize the temperature of your car?(D)D Antifreeze
24.How can driving excessive speeds damage your automobile internally?(A)A They premature life of automobile parts and devices
25.Following manufacturers guidelines, after how many oil changes would you expect that the basic tire needs to be replaces?(D)D.10
Passage Three America is in no immediate danger of “running out of water”.People in the West have always been aware that water is a precious commodity an must be conserved.In the damp East, an excess of water led to complacency until two factors created concern over our water supply.First, the periods of drought from 1961 to 1966 in the Northeast affected crop production and used up the surface and ground water supplies.Second, attention was called to the rapid increased ur-ban and industrial growth.As a result, there is an increasing awareness of the need for conserving both the quantity of our nation’s water supplies.Water is a renewable resource, but it is not inexhaustible.When used for municipal, Indus-trial, or agricultural purposes, it is not destroyed, but generally finds its way back into our water supply.This used water now carries some water now carries some waste materials.These dirty waters are often dumped into large bodies of water or are disposed of on land.In the latter instance, evaporation concen-trates some of the wastes on the soil surface.On the other hand, water moving through the soil will eventually carry some of the wastes down into the ground water supplies.Eventually, all water evaporates and later returns to the earth as rain or snow in a relatively pure state.26.The passage is mainly about_______.(C)C.The importance of water conservation
27.Water is relatively purer in________.(D)D.Rain and snow

標(biāo)題:成人英語三級 關(guān)鍵詞:成人英語三級
導(dǎo)讀:成人英語三級雖然沒有大學(xué)英語四六級考試以及托福雅思等為人所熟知,但是這一考試的參加者對于成人英語三級的重視程度還是比較高的。很多人并不清楚成人英語三級考試的相關(guān)信息,所以影響了考試,下面就為大家介紹一下。
成人本科學(xué)士學(xué)位英語統(tǒng)一考試 北京地區(qū)成人本科學(xué)士學(xué)位英語統(tǒng)一考試是成人高等教育本科(非外證書樣本語專業(yè))學(xué)生獲得學(xué)士學(xué)位的必要條件之一。1991年北京市實(shí)施北京地區(qū)成人本科學(xué)士學(xué)位英語統(tǒng)一考試,為使這一考試更加規(guī)范,也使廣大考生能夠熟悉英語三級考試的內(nèi)容、題型、難度及記分辦法,特制定本大綱。
成人英語三級統(tǒng)一考試的目的是為了檢測本地區(qū)成人教育系列中非外語專業(yè)的英語教學(xué)水平,保證成人本科畢業(yè)生學(xué)士學(xué)位的授予質(zhì)量。成人英語教學(xué)的目的是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生具有較強(qiáng)的閱讀能力,一定的英漢互譯能力和初步的聽力能力,使他們能以英語為工具,獲取專業(yè)所需要的信息,并為進(jìn)一步提高英語水平打下較好的基礎(chǔ)。為此,本考試主要考核學(xué)生運(yùn)用語言的能力,重點(diǎn)是考核學(xué)生的閱讀能力以及對語法結(jié)構(gòu)和詞語用法的熟練程度。成人英語三級是一種標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試,由于尚不具備口試條件,目前暫只進(jìn)行筆試??荚嚪秶饕獏⒄杖罩莆睦砜票究朴⒄Z教學(xué)大綱所規(guī)定的一至三級除說的技能以外的大部分內(nèi)容。在題型設(shè)計(jì)上,除英漢互譯部分是主觀性試題外,其余試題均采用客觀性的多項(xiàng)選擇題形式。待將來?xiàng)l件成熟時(shí),再酌情增加聽力及短文寫作的內(nèi)容。
為在哪個(gè)學(xué)校讀本科、申請學(xué)士學(xué)位,就在哪個(gè)學(xué)校報(bào)名參加英語統(tǒng)一考試。目前成人英語三級沒有全國統(tǒng)考,只是北京地區(qū)包括北京院校的遠(yuǎn)程學(xué)員、所有中央電大的學(xué)員。成人高等教育本科畢業(yè)生外語統(tǒng)一考試費(fèi)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)為每人 35 元(包含證書工本費(fèi))。本考試每年舉行兩次,分別在 4月和11月,考試時(shí)間為:9:00--11:00。
成人英語三級報(bào)考條件:在校成人本科生(專升本和高中升本科生);已畢業(yè)學(xué)生在校期間未通過該考試的,畢業(yè)后一年內(nèi)可以報(bào)名參加考試;網(wǎng)絡(luò)教育(遠(yuǎn)程教育)和成人教育(繼續(xù)教育)、電大部分專業(yè)的學(xué)員在教學(xué)中心(或?qū)W習(xí)中體驗(yàn)式英語教育先鋒美聯(lián)英語

第五篇:成人如何學(xué)好英語
成人學(xué)英語,沒有想象中那么“難”
作者:小欖博益外語學(xué)校王國坤
成人學(xué)英語給人的感覺似乎是一條漫長的路,費(fèi)時(shí)費(fèi)勁,遙遙無期。其實(shí)未然,當(dāng)你找到了成人學(xué)英語的獨(dú)特特點(diǎn)和方法后,學(xué)好英語就是水到渠成,順其自然的事情了,甚至還可以像小朋友那樣,在輕松愉快的氛圍中學(xué)好英文。
本人教成人英語已有七年時(shí)間了,雖談不上桃李滿天下,培訓(xùn)過的學(xué)員也有近千人。我發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)好英語的成人學(xué)員都有其共同的特點(diǎn),反之學(xué)不好的學(xué)員也有其共同的特點(diǎn)。結(jié)合我以往的教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn),我把這歸納起來和大家分享,相信會(huì)對廣大學(xué)習(xí)英語的朋友們有所幫助和啟發(fā)。
成人學(xué)習(xí)英文有以下幾個(gè)特點(diǎn):
1、學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間很有限,成人每天除了工作外,還要在家庭和一些必要的應(yīng)酬上抽出時(shí)間,留給學(xué)習(xí)英語時(shí)間已所剩無幾了。
2、學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間不固定,很難養(yǎng)成好的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣,即每天都安排時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)英文。大多數(shù)學(xué)習(xí)者都是有時(shí)間才去‘看看’英文,如果是出差或者業(yè)務(wù)旺季,往往就是“中斷”學(xué)習(xí)。這是英文學(xué)習(xí)的最大忌諱“三天打魚,兩天嗮網(wǎng)”。
3、學(xué)習(xí)英文的動(dòng)力不足或目標(biāo)不明確。
4、記憶力差,很難記得住單詞。
5、無法持續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)英文,把英文當(dāng)成是一種任務(wù)和負(fù)擔(dān),帶有濃厚的功利色彩
6、基礎(chǔ)不夠扎實(shí)
7、英語聽說能力要明顯弱于英語讀寫能力
針對這七大特點(diǎn),我提出相對應(yīng)的七大成人學(xué)習(xí)英文方法,簡稱七大功略,1、利用工作的零碎時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)英文。我有個(gè)學(xué)員是在小欖制鎖廠做業(yè)務(wù),工作非常忙,經(jīng)常加班和出差,時(shí)間也不固定,是屬于最沒時(shí)間的那群人??伤挠⑽氖前嗌蠈W(xué)得最好的。去年他還去了法蘭克福參展,用他的話說完全可以用英文“搞掂”客戶。他學(xué)習(xí)的主要時(shí)間是利用一切可以利用的零碎時(shí)間,如在去客戶的路上和在等客戶的時(shí)候。他走到哪里都把英語學(xué)習(xí)資料放在包里,一有時(shí)間隨時(shí)拿出來復(fù)習(xí)。記得有一次我們班上組織去打羽毛球,中途休息時(shí)候他也在學(xué)習(xí)英文。可見,時(shí)間對于任何職場人士來是足夠的了,關(guān)鍵是在于自己如何高效利用時(shí)間。
2、為什么每天我們無論再忙,都有時(shí)間吃飯和睡覺。雖然經(jīng)常聽到說我忙著連吃飯的時(shí)間都沒有了,而通常他們還是擠出時(shí)間吃了飯。我們把學(xué)英文的時(shí)間放在你每一天必須做的事情里,你每天肯定就有固定時(shí)間學(xué)英文了。比如:我告訴我學(xué)員你早上起床洗漱完畢了,不準(zhǔn)出門和吃早餐,必須讀十五分鐘英語才可以;無論多晚睡覺,睡覺前閱讀十五分鐘英文才能睡。你知道養(yǎng)成這樣的習(xí)慣有多大好處嗎?你只要養(yǎng)成了這個(gè)習(xí)慣,學(xué)不好英文你找我。這么多年的教學(xué)實(shí)踐證明,凡是養(yǎng)成這種習(xí)慣的學(xué)員的英文都很好。道理很簡單,學(xué)英文的核心在于每天堅(jiān)持,而不是在于你一段時(shí)間有多么刻苦。
3、我現(xiàn)在在開班的第一節(jié)課上肯定要做的事就是讓學(xué)員在紙上寫下你學(xué)好英文的十大理由,并給自己一個(gè)學(xué)好英文的期限和具體目標(biāo)(如半年內(nèi)記住3000個(gè)單詞,可以和老外面對面自由流暢交流半個(gè)小時(shí))。若達(dá)成不了,給出自己一個(gè)懲罰(這個(gè)懲罰一定是讓自己覺得痛苦的),并作出公眾承諾,大家監(jiān)督。我的一個(gè)學(xué)員承諾半年后出國出差不帶翻譯。如果在這半年內(nèi)不學(xué)好英文,又不帶翻譯,就很有可能生意談不下來,造成巨大損失。因此,他這半年來學(xué)習(xí)非常用功,每次想偷懶和找借口的時(shí)候,他就想到自己所做的承諾。人是有惰性的,特別是在動(dòng)力不足的情況下,很容易放棄,永遠(yuǎn)不可能達(dá)成目標(biāo)。但一旦學(xué)員明確自己的目標(biāo)后,就會(huì)有無限動(dòng)力,人就很容易做成一件事了,英語也就自然不在話下。
4、成人學(xué)員的記憶力沒有學(xué)生時(shí)代那么好,這是不爭的事實(shí),但這對我們學(xué)好英文影響不大。道理很簡單,我們真正記住單詞不是看瞬間或一兩次記住,而是靠反復(fù)重復(fù)中記住。記性好很容易記住單詞,但如果不堅(jiān)持重復(fù)復(fù)習(xí),也是很容易忘記的。記住單詞最好的方法是從聽覺、視覺反復(fù)刺激,不斷重復(fù)。一次記的時(shí)間不要太長,重心放在重復(fù)上,這樣就能牢牢記住單詞。我經(jīng)常教我學(xué)員用我在大學(xué)時(shí)背誦單詞的方法。把每天學(xué)的單詞抄在小紙條上,一有空就拿出來看,你每次看這些單詞的時(shí)間不到一分鐘,一天就可以看幾十遍,基本上單詞就能記住,然后持續(xù)一個(gè)星期反復(fù)復(fù)習(xí),很多單詞我們就能牢牢記住,一輩子也不會(huì)忘記。記單詞不需要一次性花大量時(shí)間記住,即使記住了也會(huì)很快忘記。正確的方法是,“少吃多餐”,不斷短時(shí)間重復(fù)記憶。
5、無數(shù)人覺得學(xué)英文是一件很痛苦的事,因?yàn)樗麄儼褜W(xué)英文和找到好工作、加薪、考試等聯(lián)系在一起了,帶有濃厚的功利性。殊不知,如果你把英文不僅僅看做是一種交流工具,而是看成是一種你的愛好,感覺就立刻不一樣了。你會(huì)覺得學(xué)英文是如此有趣的事情。什么東西最容易學(xué)會(huì)?答案很簡單,你喜歡的東西。你為什么不覺得打籃球,逛街很痛苦呢?因?yàn)槟鞘悄愕膼酆?,You love it(你喜歡)。英語也可以成為任何人的愛好,你喜歡音樂,你可以聽英文歌曲;你喜歡看電影,你可以看英文電影;你喜歡交朋友,可以交很多外國朋友;
把英文融入到你的生活中,當(dāng)成是你的生活的一部分,去享受它帶給你的樂趣,你的英文就在不知不覺中提高。
6、有段時(shí)間瘋狂英語風(fēng)靡全國,大家無論基礎(chǔ)如何都在拼命喊英文。大家喊了幾年了,也喊累了,也該停下來證明下自己喊的效果了,可一和老外溝通還是停留在最簡單的層面上,無法做到思想上的交流。因?yàn)榇蠹叶挤噶艘粋€(gè)錯(cuò)誤,沒有把基礎(chǔ)打好,就拼命地練聽說。我這里說的基礎(chǔ),是指的是語音和語法。現(xiàn)在的語音教材比較亂,都沒有系統(tǒng)地區(qū)分國際音標(biāo)和美國音標(biāo),這就導(dǎo)致了后面學(xué)習(xí)的聽力障礙。扎實(shí)的語音基礎(chǔ)不僅僅是看了單詞的音標(biāo)準(zhǔn)確讀出單詞,也不僅是說出的英文老外聽得懂,還要能清楚聽懂美式和英式英語。另一項(xiàng)重要的基礎(chǔ)是語法。語法基礎(chǔ)沒打好,說出來的英文是沒有思想的。有些人也許不以為然,老外自己說英文都有語法錯(cuò)誤,只要能聽懂就可以了,這么在乎語法有必要嗎?如果單從句子來說,一個(gè)句子有點(diǎn)語法錯(cuò)誤是不會(huì)造成理解偏差,但這不能說明語法的不重要。語法,是遣詞造句的游戲規(guī)則,是英美人的思維方式體現(xiàn)。語法基礎(chǔ)不好,你就不能按照英美人的思維方式去表達(dá),英美人就不能夠把握住你的思想。有了語音和語法基礎(chǔ)后,我們再練習(xí)聽說就會(huì)起到事半功倍的效果。
7、我們很多學(xué)員是做外貿(mào)和跟單的,閱讀和回復(fù)客戶的郵件是沒有什么太大的問題。但他們恐懼的是打電話給客戶或接客戶的電話,因?yàn)榻?jīng)常在電話中無法聽懂客戶的英語,或不知如何表達(dá)。這是一個(gè)極其普遍的現(xiàn)象,究其原因就是我們練的機(jī)會(huì)太少。我們要每天給自己一點(diǎn)時(shí)間去練習(xí)聽說。為什么他們閱讀和回復(fù)客戶郵件沒問題,因?yàn)樗麄兠刻於荚谧鲞@件事。而他們說和聽英文是不經(jīng)常的,兩三個(gè)月才一兩次。那在周圍沒有老外的環(huán)境中,怎么練聽說呢?我教大家一個(gè)簡單實(shí)用的方法,看英文電影。前三遍不準(zhǔn)看字幕,只專注于聽,聽懂多少算多少。第四遍,可以看字幕,把字幕中不懂的單詞記下來,通過查字典弄懂。然后繼續(xù)聽,聽到基本聽懂為止,這個(gè)過程要五六十遍,甚至一百倍,我有過這個(gè)經(jīng)歷。當(dāng)你吃透了一部電影了,你的聽力就迅速提高。練口語,通過模仿和背誦電影臺詞就這一個(gè)動(dòng)作,你的口語迅速提升。我有個(gè)學(xué)員堅(jiān)持五部電影后,口語聽力基本過關(guān),電話上和客戶溝通沒有任何障礙。雖然我們身在國內(nèi),但我們身邊到處都是語言環(huán)境,英文電影就是最原汁原味的語言環(huán)境,利用好他,英語聽說不再是個(gè)問題。
年齡和記憶永遠(yuǎn)不是學(xué)習(xí)語言的問題。希望我推薦給大家的七大學(xué)習(xí)攻略會(huì)對大家有所幫助,這也是我寫這篇文章的價(jià)值所在。
