全国大学生英语竞赛C类资料整理

　 全国大学生英语竞赛 C 类资料整理

　Part I 听力 特别注意：听力内容均是只播放一遍！

　Section A

　5 段短对话，分别 1 个小问题。

　Section B

　2 段长对话，分别 5 个小问题。

　前两部分的长短对话难度其实不是很大，主要是尽快让自己进入状态，听力只有一遍，上一题没听到，就赶紧猜一个，千万不要影响后面的题目。

　Section C

　5 段短新闻，分别 1 个小问题，内容均是摘自 BBC 或 VOA 的新闻。

　现在只剩下一个月时间，要大家一直对着 BBC 或是 VOA 广播听也不是办法，建议大家上沪江英语学习的 BBC 或VOA 小组，里面的内容一般都是筛选过的，每天听一些，熟悉一下英美人士的发音就好。

　Section D

　1 段长文章，共有 10 个空格，注意要填写的可能是单词也可能是短语。

　最后就是关于考听力的一些提示，毕竟英语竞赛的听力考试是播放录音的，各考场分配到的带子质量不一，考场环境有好有坏。假设你实在太倒霉了，带子播放不清晰，环境吵杂（监考老师也很可能帮不了你，因为大多监考老师不是英语老师），也不要心慌，冷静下来尽量听到关键词，加上自己的大胆猜测，蒙对的概率也是很大的。

　 Part II 词汇和结构 一共 15 小题，考的语法知识不是太难，四六级之间的程度。建议你在这部分加快速度，为后面的大量阅读争取更多的时间。

　 Part III 阅读理解 Section A

　阅读文章后按问题选答案，4 小题每题 1 分。

　Section B 阅读文章后先是 6 题 Y/N/NG，考过四六级的应该都不陌生，然后是 4 题填空，注意这里的填空是一空 2分~相当值钱！而且至少有三个空都是能在原文中找到答案的。

　Section C 阅读文章后做短答，5 小题每题 2 分。

　Section D 阅读文章后做填空，6 小题每题 2 分。

　阅读量相当大，这是参加过大学生英语竞赛的赛友们普遍认同的观点。而且历年中各种怪模怪样的文章形式都出现过，题目设置从简答到选择不拘一格，关键还是心态要冷静。这里建议大家同时报个六级考试，考过的也可以尝试再考拿高分。找一些六级或考研的英语题做速度练习，注意训练思维敏捷度，加快做题的速度。

　Part IV 完形填空 Section A 属于给词填空的类型，五个空也有给五个备选词汇，难度不大。

　Section B

　7 个空格，每个待填的词汇都有给出首字母（或头连个字母），难度比 Section A 大一些。

　这一部分的填空均是每空 1 分，做完形主要还是考语感和词汇量。也有的赛友做完 PartIII 的阅读已经感觉“头昏眼花”，时间又不够，可以先跳过此部分，后面再回过头来做。

　 Part V 翻译 Section A 英译汉，待翻译的英文是由一篇短文中划取的 5 个句子，总分 8 分。

　Section B 汉译英，待翻译的汉语是直接给出的 3 个句子，总分 7 分。

　2007、2008 连着两年翻译的题型没有变，估计 2009 年还是会如此延续。但是题量上，2007 年是英译汉、汉译英都是5 个句子分别 10 分，2008 年题量和分数有所减少。翻译安排得比较靠后，难度也是比较低的。所以前面浪费了时间而不得不放弃此项的赛友有不少都事后捶胸顿足。

　 Part VI IQ 测试 2007 年的 IQ 测试题是安排在第三部分，估计是太多人反应这部分费时又费力，放在前面纯粹误导人，但是至少 5 题都是选择题。

　2008 年的样题就指出将 IQ 测试放在 Part VI 了，而且改成了填空题。尽管也是 5 题，难度应该是略有提高的。忘了说了，IQ 测试题都是每题一分的。

　也有一些老师提倡把 IQ 部分放空，等写完作文了留到最后有时间再做。

　 Part VII 写作 与平时的其他英语考试不同的是，英语竞赛的写作有两篇作文。

　第一篇一般是应用文，比如通知、广告、给指定某某人的信等等格式，所以要注意不同应用文的格式，比如开头有没有必要的标题或是称呼，

　第二篇就是四六级常见的议论文，主要也是与学生生活贴近的话题拿出来讨论，列出自己的观点条理清晰很重要。

　初赛的写作难度都不高，决赛的写作部分是发挥你英语水平的好时候。

　 一. . 报告 例 例 1

　 Directions:You are preparing for a field report,please write it in about 100words with such items as following:

　laboratory. Li HongJun 这是一份实地考察报告，要求将所看到的状况实事求是的反映出来。upon the request 表示在……的要求下，以request 表示要求一般比较正式。postgraduates 即研究生

　二. 海报 海报是人们日常生活中极为常见的一种招贴形式，多用于电影、戏曲、比赛、文艺演出等活动。海报中通常要写清楚活动的性质，活动的主办单位、时间、地点等内容。海报的语言要求简明扼要，形式要做到机关报颖美观。

　海报的格式，通常有三部分组成，即标题、正文与落款。

　海报的标题对于海报的宣传极为重要。因此标题的撰写昼做到简洁明快，新颖醒目，抓住读者的注意力，海报的标题形式通常有两种：一是直接使用“海报”（Poster）一词；另一种则是根据海报的内容，撰写标题。

　海报正文是海报的核心部分，它是对海报标题的具体描述。语言要求形象生动，简明扼要。做到既有鼓动性，又不夸大其辞。正文的常见表现形式有：简介说明式，文学描述式，美术设计式。

　 Thursday. Aug. 21st . 2004 “由……举办”可以用词组“under the auspices of…”，另外，注意中英文通知中落款时间书写位置的差别，中文一般写在右下角，英文写在左下角。

　 三. 通知

　通知是上级对下级、团体对个人部署工作、传达事情或召开会议时所用的一种文体。同级单位有事情要进行讨论或协商，也可以互发通知。通知分两种：一种是以布告形式，把事情通知有关人员；另一种是以书信形式，把相关事情传达给有关人员。一般说来，通知正文上面正中的地方往往有 Notice 或 NOTICE 一词作为题目，正文的下面是发出通知的单位名称。有时，发出通知单位的名称也可写在正文之前。发出通知的日期一般写在左下角；发出通知的人或单位的名称，可以写在右下角。这两项有时也可以省略。发出通知的单位和通知对象一般都用第三人称，但若正文前用了称呼语，则应用第二人称表示被通知的对象。

　例 例 1

　Directions:If you are the organizer of a tour and you should give a notice to tell the tourists something about it. It should include: 1)Where is the destination of the tour.

　2)What should the tourists pay attention to.

You can leave your baggage in the Left Baggage Office and pick it up later this afternoon if it is too heavy to carry with you. The receipt of the baggage should be kept carefully because you will need it. We will come to the Summer Palace first and finish the tour at 2 pm. Then we are going to the destination of Tian Anmen Square without parking. So please don’t get off the sightseeing bus during the journey until the driver says that it is time for food and drinks or toilets. Please be on time!

　 * 这是一张旅行团张贴的布告，告知游客当天的活动以及注意事项。“行李寄存处”叫 Left Baggage Office,这是美国英语。英国人管行李叫 luggage，与此相对的,行李寄存处便是 Left Luggage Office。领取行李，美语 to claim baggage,英国人说 to reclaim luggage。旅游车是 sightseeing bus 或 coach. 四. 信件 常用句式 常用的起首语有：

　1）Thank you for your letter dated Dec.22,1969. 2)Many thanks for your letter of Sept.5，1997. 3)A thousand thanks for your kind letter of June 5,1997. 4)Your kind letter of November 22th arrived this morning. 5)Your letter which arrived this morning gave me great comfort. 6)In reply to your letter dated 4th July,I want to say… 7)Thank you very much for your letter of August 2 and the gift you sent me on Christmas Eve. 8)What a treat to receive your kind letter of May 5th! 9)It is always a thrill to see your nice handwriting. 10)First of all I must thank you for your kind assistance and high attention to me . 11)With great delight I learn from your letter of this Sunday that … 14)I am very much pleased to inform you that my visit to your country has been approved. 15)I wish to apply for teaching position you are offering. 16)I am too excited and delighted at your good news. 17)I am very obliged to you for your warm congratulations.… 常用的结束语有：

　Yours (very) truly, Yours (very) faithfully,Yours (very) sincerely， 等等。

　 写信给挚友，表示歉意时，可用：

　 Contritely yours, Regretfully yours, Yours in (with) regret, Yours in (with) deep remorse 等。

　 在欧洲一些国家里，多把 Yours 放在 sincerely 等词的前面。在美国和加拿大等国，则多用，把 yours 放在 Sincerely 等词之后。Yours 一词有时也可省略。

　例 1

　Directions：Bill got a Doctorate in literature for Tsinghua University. Write a letter to congratulate him.You should write about 100 words and do not need to write the address. Dear Bill,

　 I got the news from Mike that you have received a Doctorate in literature from Tsinghua University. I congratulate you for this. To have reached this milestone in your scholarship at a young age is really great. It means, I believe, years of assiduous study and hard work on your part. And it is an achievement you can be well proud of. As your best friend, I hope you can reach higher level in your study and do more contribution to the society. My best wishes to you!

　 Sincerely,

　 ××× 朋友年轻有为，获得博士学位，应该祝贺。正如信中所说，这一成就是“多年来刻苦学习和努力工作的结果”（years of assiduous study and hard work）。英文有一句成语：No sweet no sweat. 世界上不劳有获的事情是没有的。

　当然比赛的时候，也是应该学会放弃一些题目。竞赛类的题目大多比较“ 灵活” ，涉及课外知识、计算、智力测试等，适合知识面较广的学生。有些你能看懂题目，能看懂选项，花了很多时间，但是你依然会做错。

　备考最重要的还是多做练习，历年的样题和真题都是训练的好材料。特别提示：历年真题就那么几套呀，大家可要多多珍惜，好好利用。

You should decide on the best choice, then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Questions 46-49 are based on the following passage.

　Most sore throats are caused by an infection which treatment with antibiotics cannot cure. But with simple remedies the patient normally gets better in 4 or 5 days.

　Tonsillitis, however, usually starts with a sore throat which causes pain on swallowing. With children and some adults there may be a fever and the patient is obviously not feeling well. It may be possible to see white spots on the back of the throat. The neck may also swell, both of which are the normal response to infection.

　Sometimes a sore throat may occur with the common cold, and with influenza there may be dryness of the throat, pain on coughing and loss of voice.

　TREATMENT

　Aspirin: To help relieve the pain on swallowing and (if there is one) the fever, use aspirin tablets dissolved in water, so that the patient can gargle before swallowing. Repeat the treatment every 4 hours.

　Drink: Encourage the patient to drink plenty of liquids.

　Steam: If there is pain in the throat on coughing, breathing in steam may help.
