新生入学英语测试目的、大纲、样题

1. 测试目的

教育对于每一个受教育者来说都是平等的，然而现代心理学的研究早已证实，每一个学习者都存在着与学习有关的个体差异。这些差异包括学生的知识储备、学习策略、态度与技能等。随着高校由“精英”教育向“大众”化转型，学院的生源层次悬殊，“一刀切”的教学往往使好学生“吃不饱”“学不到”知识，基础差的学生却“听不懂”“跟不上”教学进度。
好学生因为“学不到”知识而厌学；基础差的学生因“学不懂”而厌学。这种现状给英语教学的展开和英语教学改革带来了诸多的不便，给学生的英语学习带来了阻碍。为此外语教学部在学院领导的指导下开始对英语教学改革进行分层教学的研究和实践。新生入学进行英语测试，然后按不同层次制定相应的教学标准、教材内容与教学要求根据不同层次之间学生的差异，制定相应的教学标准、采用不同的教学内容与教学要求，以达到较有效的学习效果。

2. 测试大纲

随着近几年高校不断地扩大招生，学生层次、地区差别等因素对教学带来了一定的负面影响。我院的学生主要来自于自主招生、三校生高考、上海普高高考和全国统考。由于目前各地区的中学、中职外语教学水平有差异。导致同一自然班中学生的外语分数相差几十余分，有时甚至一百余分。考虑到高职高专学生英语入学水平的现状，对学生进行入学英语测试，按学生的测试成绩实施分层教学。分层教学不仅仅是一种教学法，更应是一种教学思想，真正从根本上承认并尊重学生的个体差异，同时利用学生差异使教学活动得到优化分层教学，体现了教育的“全体性”、“全面性”、“主动性”和“差异性”。
考试方式为笔试，测试语言知识和读、译、写等技能。试题总分为100分，其中客观题70分，主观题30分。客观性试题有信度较高。覆盖面广的优点，而主观性试题有利于提高测试的效度，能更好地检测考生运用语言的能力，为此本考试采用主客观题混合题型，以保证良好的信度和效度。考试时间为100分钟。

Motivation is vital for you as an English learner, because the motivated learner will always do better than the unmotivated learner.
Teachers can only teach---you, the student, have to learn. Your biggest obstacle in learning is your motivation---you have to know, and understand, the reason why you are learning anything. If you want to learn something, and you have the reason clearly in front of you, then learning will come easier. If you do not have the motivation it will be a long, hard and difficult task.
Now, what would it take to really motivate you to learn English? Only you can answer that question but the real key to quickly learn English is to be motivated. This motivation can either come from forces within you (intrinsic motivation) or outside you (extrinsic motivation).
Intrinsic motivation comes from inside the student:
● because you want to work in an English speaking country
● because you can get a better job if you speak English
● because you like Western culture and want to find out more about it
● because you enjoy the classes.
Extrinsic motivation comes from outside pressures on the student:
● it is a requirement of the university
● your parents want you to learn English
● you may lose your job if you do not learn English
Generally speaking, intrinsically-motivated students learn more effectively than extrinsically-motivated students.
How to improve your motivation
The following are a few of the ways in which you can increase your motivation for learning English:
● imagine you can communicate with native English speakers just as you communicate in Chinese with your friends
● remember that you already know some English and now it is time for more success
● use your English whenever you can
● find a friend who is learning English
● spend some money on learning English
● remember that learning English requires action.
51. According to your understanding, which of the following words has the similar meaning of “motivation”?
A. hurdle B. force C. difficulty D. obstacle
52. According to the passage, an unmotivated learner is a learner___________.
A. who always does better than a motivated learner
B. who knows the reason why he/she is learning something
C. who thinks that learning is a long, hard and difficult task
D. who always learns something by himself/herself
53. Intrinsically-motivated students always learn more effectively than extrinsically-motivated students, so if you plan to learn English more effectively you should ____________.
A. always tell yourself that your parents want you to learn English well
B. remind yourself that learning English is a requirement of the university
C. remember yourself if you do not learn English you may lose your job
D. try to like Western culture and always want to find more about it

( C )
Certain animals and plants develop characteristics that help them cope with their environment better than others of their kind. This natural biological process is called adaptation. Among the superior characteristics developed through adaptation are those that may help in getting food or shelter, in providing protection, and in producing and protecting the young. That results in the evolution of more and more organisms that are better fitted to their environments.
Each living thing is adapted to its way of life in a general way, but each is adapted especially to its own distinct class. A plant, for example, depends upon its roots to fix itself firmly and to absorb water and inorganic (无机的) chemicals. It depends on its green leaves for using the sun’s energy to make food from inorganic chemicals. These are general adaptations, common to most plants. In addition, there are special adaptations that only certain kinds of plants have.
