07专八作文范文
1.专八翻译、作文一般能拿多少分
一、内容简单化
内容简单化是考生在构思专八作文时应遵循的原则。考生不论是在练习时还是在考场上都应当牢记这一点。许多考生在作文上败下阵来就是因为花费了大量的时间和精力追求内容的新颖别致。国家考试中心在出专八作文试题时特别注意选择一些弹性不是很大的题目,因为考试作为一种语言测试方式,其重点在于测试考生英语语言水平,它不像出国英语考试,譬如托福、GMAT和GRE这类智商型考试那样测试考生逻辑思辩的能力;如果设置弹性较大的题目,评卷人在评分时就不容易把握。
事实上,专八作文考试的内容并不会给评卷人留下太深的影响,参阅任何一本考试作文指南书的考生都可以发现书中范文的内容不会有太多新意,评卷人评判的是考生的文能力,考生在构思时只要保证自己的内容符合逻辑,能够言之有理、言之成理、切题即可,然后把更多的注意力放在如何追求语言的得体性上;有的考生在考场上绞尽脑汁,想要找出些绝妙的内容来吸引评卷人的特别关注,结果往往是花费了十分的心思只得到一分的回报,有时反而会弄巧成拙,使评卷人的注意力转移方向,影响得分。
在考场上,笔者认为考生在构思内容上所花的时间不应超过5分钟,在认真读题并将其理解透彻以后,考生可以在试卷题目下方的空白处列一个简短的提纲,用中文即可,以此作为写作过程中内容的提示,在提笔开始写作的过程中就可将重点放在保证语言的流畅得体上,不会因为内容而中断思路。
二、结构模式化
专八高分作文的第二大策略是结构模式化,这也是最核心的一条策略。通览以往的考试作文考题,细心的考生不难发现,专业英语作文考题不仅题目弹性很小,而且题型相结稳定,这就为考生在短期内提高作文分数创造了一个条件,使考生完全可以在考前针对考试中可能出现的题型按照固定的结构模式进行训练。
三、语言要包装
做到内容简单化和结构模式化,考生就已经向专八高分作文的目标迈进了一大步,如果考生还能在语言的细节上下一些功夫,作文的分数就会更上一层楼,这也就是我们接下来要谈的第三大策略:语言要包装。前面我们已经说过,专业英语作文的测试重点是考生的语言能力,因而在语言细节上下一点功夫就可以让考生展示自己的语言修养。
作文中语言的包装主要应从以下六点入手。
首先是语法方面的包装。考生要注意在作文中选取一个中心时态,通常选取一般现在时即可,但在陈述具体例证时要根据不同的情况变换时态。大纲明确要求高分作文的句子要做到多样化,所以最好不要全盘使用简单句,这样会降低文章的层次、复杂句和简单句应在文章中交叉出现,而对一些描述性的例证以及临时想起的内容可以使用简单句。
词汇的包装是个较为艰巨的过程,但单从应试的角度而言,考生可以精选一些高分作文学习,吸取其中的语言营养,对其中的用词进行细致的研究和模仿,在练习时尽量使用范文中一些常用的优秀词汇。
同样在引用名人名言时考生也要特别注意:中国人习惯用别人说的话来证明自己的观点,而西方人引用名人名言通常都是为了进行批判性分析,这也是东西方文化上的一大差异,建议考生心意一不要使用名人名言,而应当用自己的逻辑去说服对方。
说到这里自然就引出五一个语言包装的问题:应不应当在作文中作用谚语,大多数考生会觉得这些语言对评卷人而言已是陈词滥调,不应该在他们面前卖弄,事实恰恰相反,非英语国家的考生使用谚语常常会给英语国家的评卷人留下良好的印象,他们认为只有英语功底很扎实的考生才能正确地使用谚语。因此,在对所用表达法把握很大的情况下,考生不妨在作文中写一些地道的英语习语。
语言包装的最后一点是文体意识。普林斯顿所提供的评分标准中非常明确地指出考生所写的文章应当是academic(学术性)的,考生在提笔之前应当清楚地认识到现在这篇文章应当是学术性的正式文体,在遣词造句时要抛弃口语体的非正式的词汇和句型。

4.07年英语专四作文
It Is Not Wise to Make Friends online "Have you got a QQ?"This question is often heart among yongsters today.Making friends online has become a common scene thesedays.It is so popular that a person who not chat on the internet is viewed as an odd man.This phenomenon has arosed great worries among parents and teachers.I do understand these parents and teachers because making friends online harm to the younsters in many ways. There are two reasons suport my point of view.For one thing,it is dangrous to chat on the internet.Many violent and sexual rubbishes filled the internet and a lot of people use disguestng names,such as "a murder","romance one night".Moreover,some people even use the name opposite to their real genders in order to mislead the young people.For another,making friends online may cause communication failier.Younsters have no time or no intentions to talk to their parents about what has confused them.And therefore,they can not get along well with people around them. From the above two reasons, I can safely arrive at a conclusion that making friends online is not wise for the young people.I hope they are able to deal with this problem more conciously and carefully.。
5.推荐基本英语专八初级一点的练习题
以下是当初我自己考专四专八的经验,也是我后来常常推荐给我的学生用的参考书,希望对楼主有帮助
专四专八常用和推荐辅导书参考书
1)词汇用书:刘毅10000,这个大家都比较熟悉吧,我感觉很不错,和八级的词汇相符,特别是对于翻译部分很有益处,如果学有余力的话,可以再看看刘毅22000。
我本人买的八级词汇是王迈迈编的,很厚,字很小,不过感觉很有用。
2)听力部分:我主要听的是真题和邹申的那本指南,还听了点中级听力。由于我是北方的,不是很了解上海高口,是前几天才发现的,高口笔试部分的听力和专八很像,大家可以在沪江论坛上下一些,自己做做,也不错。
我本人买了两本,邹申主编的,和大连理工的。
3)阅读部分:我用的是英语专业八级习题集,专八阅读考的就是快速捕捉信息的能力,所以这本书上的题目是可以满足这个要求了。而且这书是上海外研社出版的比较权威。
此外我还做了些网上下载的北京环球的模拟题,和大连理工出版的冲击波的阅读,个人感觉冲击波的阅读和真题的难度还是有差距的,不建议做这本题。
4)翻译部分:是我主攻的部分,因为个人比较喜欢翻译,当时也想考翻译方向的研究生,所以这部分准备的书多了一些。1,人事部三级笔译教材;2,上外的口译教材:中级和高级翻译教程;4,常春藤,翻译指南,只是大略的看了一下,不评论了。5,强烈推荐,英语专业八级改错与翻译100+100,常骏跃主编,大连理工大学出版社。这本书是我在旧书摊买的,小本的,,现在不知道还有没有卖的了,这本书中的翻译多是中国翻译杂志上的节选,和专八的风格很相似,以散文为主,所以能买到的话一定要好好看啊。
我本人买了两本,一本是大连理工的,一本是上外的,主要是分类翻译,比较的新,还有较多的练习。
5)写作部分:我用了2本书,开始用的是冲击波系列---英语专业八级写作,徐永,姚小蒙主编,大连理工大学出版社。这本书讲解的很好,让你知道八级作文该怎么写,写什么。因为一般学校都不特意针对八级进行辅导,所以这本书很值得自学。后来在1月份放寒假时,我又买了星火英语---2007英语专业八级考试写作标准范文背诵 中国社会出版社。这本书都是背诵的范文,其实对于八级那么短的时候,若不是特别强的人,不背点文章都很感觉时间很紧,所以感觉自己不是很强的同学可以看看这书,反正我看了,因为我不是强人哈哈。
我本人买了两本写作书,一本是大连理工的,一本是常春藤的,都是很多典型的范文,很适合背诵。
6)人文部分:我觉得只要你把这本书-------英语专业八级人文知识精讲,王苏春主编,南京大学出版社 看仔细了,得八分不成问题。这本书都是以习题的方式出现的,适合考试。沪江上有这书的电子版,大家可以下载,但我觉得自己买一本看了会更方便。如果你想得更高的分,可以看看冲击波系列和海冰系列。
人文知识我本人买了两本书,一本是大连理工的,一本是北外出的,主要是担心一本讲解的不全面。但是实际上课余时间,我又把大学所学的英美文学、语言学及英语国家文化概论书通读了一遍。
7)改错部分:这部分很难也很容易突击,我用的是英语专业八级改错与翻译100+100,常骏跃主编,大连理工大学出版社。这上面的改错也很不错,所以要强力推荐啊,在这里我还很感谢沪江的大家来改错,考试前夕我把这部分的改错又重新打印出来再做了一遍,最后我改错对了5个,想想最开始做的时候,我只能对1,2个。
8)模拟题:主要是指南,八级习题集,还有一定要把真题消化好,把真题做好,才是正道。

7.关于英语专业八级的考试
英语专业八级考试是由高等学校外语专业教学指导委员会主办的(非教育部主办),对英语专业高年级学生英语水平进行衡量的一种外语水平考试。是目前我国体现最高英语水平的等级考试。它在每年的三月份举办次,考试分为上午和下午两场,上午做听力、阅读、改错,下午做翻译和写作。对时间的要求比较严格
专业八级的虽然难度较大,但在全国的英语专业的学生考试的成绩来看,通过率是很高的,全国平均通过率是百分之六十多,为什么通过率这么高?就我个人的观点而言,是因为专八考试的题目采分点多,每道小题都是一分,特别是阅读理解这样容易失分的部分,每道题也都是一分,与四、六级不同。下面我将就将对专八考试的各部分体型的特点做出评价。
1 听力
包括听情景对话、长时间的交谈、英语广播、还有复合式听写。前两部分的难
度和六级差不多,关键是后两部分。英语广播主要是VOA和BBC的新闻,没有什么应试技
巧可言,关键要考平时多听这两个电台的广播来培养语感。复合式听写是听力部分乃至
全卷中最难的,要求先听一段用标准语速英语念的文章(只念一遍),在放音的同时要
求考生做听力笔记,然后再根据自己所做的笔记去完成一个没有提供选项的完型填空(
填十个单词进去),这部分需要有很好的速记能力,要分清语篇里哪些是关键词,哪些
不是,当然有遗漏是在所难免,但是要尽量争取少有遗漏,还是那句话:要注意句首、
句尾的总结性的话,还有带判断语气的话。
2 阅读 分为一般阅读和快速阅读两部分。前者的应试技巧和六级无二,而后者则要求
在十分钟的时间内看完六到七篇文章,每一篇文章都附有一个或两个问题。就我的经验
而言,这些题目不会涉及对文章主题思想等深层问题的理解,都是一些比较肤浅的问
题。这部分要求考生具备一目几行的阅读技巧和很强的搜索信息的能力,如果这方面的
能力比较强的话,这类快速阅读应该是比较容易得分的
3 改错 在错误点的设置方面与四六级改错相比增加了“逻辑错误”部分,这个的难度
是比较大的,有时候替换错词的词和其在本质上没有任何联系,主要看是否符合上下文
的语境还有表达方式是否妥当等方面。
4 翻译 包括英译汉和汉译英。首先当然要阅读相关的介绍翻译常识的文章、书籍,掌
握一些翻译的基本技巧,但最主要的还是要勤练笔,当然要扩大词汇量是不可缺少的。
翻译的文章大多是说理性的。2001年的翻译试题,汉译英出得比较容易,英译汉部分出
得较难(涉及很抽象的伦理学)。
5 写作 如果你已经具备较高的写作能力的话,这部分会让你觉得做十分过瘾,它要求
写一篇不少于300字的短文,题目一般会给出(几乎全是议论文),然后给你充分的自
由发挥的空间。做八级作文切忌模仿四六级进行格式化作文,那样的作文一定得不到高
分的,在这里要求你能充分调动你的创造性和写作的技巧。2001年的作文题是 The
impact of Internet on。.,我写的题目是The impact of Internet on people's
way of life.自我感觉是在英语考试中写过的最好的一篇文章。
其他:
1 英语专业八级考试要求掌握的词汇不少于8000,最好能有10000以上
2 模拟题推荐上海外语教育出版社的《指南》,推荐的翻译教材是同一出版社出版的陈
宏薇的《汉英翻译基础》和古今明的《英汉翻译基础》,同时推荐一本陈朴主编的,上
海译文出版社出版的《新简明汉英词典》供学有余力者记忆(就本人的体会,极大地提
高了翻译和写作能力)
