1、专业英语八级(作文)模拟试卷 101及答案与解析 一、 PART V WRITING 1 All over the world, various kinds of tests are used to indicate a persons knowledge of a subject. Are grades a good indicator and determining factor of peoples, especially students knowledge? Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 30
2、0 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the different opinions on this issue; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Cathy (the US) I
3、 would say that not all grading systems are equal and I have my fair share of complaints against standardized testing, as well as grade curves. However, I do believe the grades of specific testing material are indicative of your understanding of the material. Now when I say test, I do not only mean
4、paper or multiple choice. It can take many forms such as physical activities, speeches, or traditional tests to show peoples abilities. After that they should get a grade as feedback on their knowledge. Duke (Australia) Grades do not necessarily translate directly to intelligence, but they do genera
5、lly represent a students effort and consistency. A student who consistently gets good grades, at the very least, applies themselves to their schoolwork, while a student that consistently gets poor grades either clearly does not understand material or does not put forth an appropriate effort. So grad
6、es must have some correlation with intelligence. There may be exceptions to this rule, but an intelligent student will generally understand the importance of good grades. Johonny (Italy) It depends on the grading method. If those grades are based on some sort of holistic approach, then it is Ok. It
7、is entirely unfair to say that grades on a 4-answer multiple choice assignment directly translate to knowledge. For all one knows, that person could have been a lucky guesser or a good test-taker. However, if the grade is given based on a short answer or essay type assignment, those grades would be
8、more correlated with ones knowledge on a subject because it requires that person not only to give the “correct“ answer but also to explain it thoroughly. Mary (Britain) GPA does not equal the level of intelligence. Grades are not a good indicator of intelligence because some students copy answers fr
9、om friends, some teachers give easy work and random grades. Not always does a lazy student equal an unintelligent student, and not always does a student that turns in work equal an intelligent one. Dorothy (France) Grades can be a good indicator of a persons knowledge of a subject if the grade has b
10、een earned over a period of time through projects, reports or essays. Examinations are memory tests and are poor indicators of a persons knowledge. It is easy to obtain previous years papers, have some clues given to you by a teacher or learn enough about a subject to ace certain questions while not
11、 learning other fundamental knowledge of a subject. There is also the case of people becoming too nervous during an examination and suddenly forgetting important knowledge, only for it to return when they leave the room. I will always believe that an in-depth report or essay that has been worked on
12、over a long period of time will indicate a persons knowledge more than a 2-hour exam on a subject. Tracy (the US) No, because they are unfair and they do not show what you have learned. Grades arent a sign of learning, rather a sign of obeying. Americans today get quizzes and tests 24/7. Instead of
13、doing projects and understanding concepts, we are simply forced to memorize rather than understand. Quizzes, tests, homework are NOT signs of learning and they are actively detrimental to learning in every way possible. Write your response on ANSWER SHEET FOUR. 2 To a university student who is doome
14、d to enter into society to realize himself, which is more important education or social life? Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the different opinions; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, c
15、ontent sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Alex (Britain) Education is more important. With education, you can make money. Having to cope with loneliness (no social life) can be resolved when you look back on how muc
16、h more knowledge you have acquired than others, and how much more money the knowledge has brought you than others. Tom (the US) Education doesnt mean learning without social life. Simply put, the university is not just a place for gaining knowledge but a community for the students to grow and mature
17、. Olive (Poland) Education is the foundation of life. Education is far more significant than social life. This is because education prepare students for success and helps them go further in life as well. With a vast variety of career paths, education allows people to select their fields of interest
18、and specialize in an occupation related to that career path. As a result, education not only allows people to make a living but also enables them to do what they want and love in their daily life. Twist (Canada) Yes, you can have your fun with a great social life; yes, you can not have a bachelors d
19、egree and still do well in life. But statistically, people with a degree get higher paying jobs, which leads to a more diverse and comfortable lifestyle. If you are confident of success without a degree, dont get one! Go and start doing what you want to do. Most people misunderstand the term “educat
20、ion“; education can take place not only at school, but at your work and at home; its intimately linked to your life. Steve (China) Technically, education is a part of your social life. Anyway by having a social life you will have connections. You can be the smartest person in the world while with no
21、 connections you are nothing. If you meet a CEO of a big company, are you going to say, “I have a Ph. D. Hire me. “ or socialize with him? Ann (Austria) Life is about living, not getting a grade A. At the end of your life, when you look back on everything, you are not going to smile and feel glad th
22、at you have learned more instead of celebrating your best friends birthday. Even if you get a doctorate, it doesnt guarantee that you will get success and money, and having a social life guarantees a psychological fulfillment that grades can never supply. Write your response on ANSWER SHEET FOUR. 3
23、The phrase “everybodys doing it“ is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure. It is a social influence exerted on an individual in order to get that person to act or believe in a similar way as a larger group. Most people experience it in some way during their lives. The following exc
24、erpt is about peer pressure and alcohol. The author presents his opinion on peer pressure.
