1、YY8670 专八改错 老师王菲英语专业八级改错试题简析1 题型分析 校对与改错是英语专业学生高年级考试(TEM-8)的第四部分。该部分采用主观测试题型。 答题要求部分说明修改短文的三种方法:加入、删去和改动某一单词,并举例说明。 要求修改的短文长度为200-250字左右。短文的体裁和题材不超出学生所熟悉的范围。 短文内含10个错误;错误都出现在标有题号的行内。错误一般涉及单个词;每行只出现一个错误。要求修改的单词既有功能词(如介词、冠词等),也有实义词(动词、名词等)。错误既涉及句内也涉及句际。2测试目的 校对与改错部分的测试目的是检查学生在实际语境中灵活运用语言的能力。 该项目考查学生的语
2、法和词汇知识,但更侧重评估学生的综合语言能力。3 考核重点(1)语法知识众所周知,英语语言能力包括众多因素,其中之一是语法知识。没有系统的语法知识,学习者就很难全面、准确地以口头或书面的形式表达思维或意念。对于把英语作为外语的学生来说,语法知识的掌握尤为重要,因为它有助于提高语言的准确性、逻辑性。鉴于此,校对改错项目的一个测试点是检验高年级学生语法知识的掌握程度及其运用能力。如:定语从句,情态动词,冠词,介词,反身代词等。因此,对于学生来说,在平时一要巩固已学过的语法知识,理清概念;二要注重提高运用语YY8670 专八改错 老师王菲2言知识解决具体问题的能力。(2)词汇与搭配校对改错项目的另一
3、测试点是学生对常用词汇、搭配和用法的了解及运用。如:外层空间应为outerspace,而不是outspace做动作应为 performanact,而不是 makeanact姿式应为posture,而不是post站起来应为 gettotheirfeet,而不是getontheirfeet(3)篇章结构该项目旨在测试在具体语境或上下文中使用语法或词汇的能力。在校对改错这个特定的考试环境中,它所提供的具体语境或上下文是一篇200字左右的短文。这篇短文由十来个在意义上相关联的句子构成;而需要修改的语病都出现在这些在意义上是有机组合的句中。鉴于这个特点,学生要跳出单句的框架,从语段(表达相关层次意思的句
4、子组合)的角度来进行判断。句内错误:一般对此类错误的判断无须超越句子本身。Waterrisingawayfromthedepthsoftheearthduring (删去away)句际错误:对此类错误的判断要基于上下文之上,也就是牵涉到句与句之间的关系了。asanhourofgatheringproduces240 (把as改成while)YY8670 专八改错 老师王菲3专八改错解题思路1. 宏观层面分析(1)(2)(3)2. 微观层面分析(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)3. 注意事项(1)即使按照语感很快找到了疑似错误,也要坚持读完全句再做判断,可能会有新的发现。过于相信第一感觉而带来的失分
