First, the armchairs are in really bad condition. Could you please replace them? Secondly, the flat is extremely cold because the central heating doesnt work at all. Part of the problem is the windows. They dont fit very well, so they let the wind in. Finally, theres the kitchen. It really does need painting. We are prepared to do the work ourselves if you pay for the paint.Can you possibly come and look at the flat? Im sure you will agree with us. In any case, please let us know about these things as soon as possible. Yours sincerely, Sandra ShawB) One possible version: Everyone has a dream, whether it is to become a doctor, a teacher or a scientist. Education is the one thing that can make any of these dreams come true. We all know college is hard, but what we learned during those times are the key to being a success. College will to turn your ideas into businesses and your dreams into realities. From learning how to add small numbers in the first grade to doing matrices in college, education can open your mind to a world of opportunities you never thought possible. Our country develops the fastest in the world because so many young people attend college. They have the patience to attain the degree they dreamed of since they were in middle school. To me, getting a better education by going to college is really the key to accomplishing a dream. 写作评分原则本题总分为 30 分: A10 分,B20 分。按四个档次给分。评分时,先根据文章的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次,然后以该档次的要求来衡量,确定或调整本档次最后给分。 作文词数少于或多于规定词数20 词的,从总分中减去 2 分。如书写较差,以致影响阅卷,将分数降低一个档次。 附各档次的分数范围和要求 第四档很好A910 分B1620 分 完全完成了试题规定的要求覆盖所有内容要点符合英语表达习惯, 应用了较多的语法结构和词汇 没有语法和词汇运用错误具备较强的语言能力完全达到了预期的写作目的。 第三档好A68 分B1115 分 完成了试题规定的要求应用的语法结构和词汇能满足题目的要求符合英语表达习惯, 基本没有语法 和词汇运用错误达到了预期的写作目的。第二档一般A35 分B610 分 未恰当完成试题规定的要求漏掉内容要点未描述清楚主要内容写了一些无关内容有语法和词汇 运用错误影响了对写作内容的理解信息未能清楚地传达给读者。 第一档差A12 分B15 分 未完成试题规定的要求明显遗漏主要内容写了一些无关内容语法结构单调词汇项目有限有较多 语法和词汇运用错误影响对写作内容的理解信息未能传达给读者。 未能传达给读者任何信息没有内容或内容太少无法评判写的内容均与所要求内容无关或所写内容 无法看清。 2012 年全国中学生英语能力竞赛(NEPCS)初赛 高二年级组试题听力部分(录音原文) I.

Each dialogue is followed by a question. Choose the best answer for each question. Each dialogue and question will be read twice. 6. W: How are you these days? Have you managed to throw off that cold you had when we last metM: Well, yes, it cleared up after a couple of days, but Id no sooner got over that than I picked up another one.Question: What does the man mean? 7. M: Go back to your room and study! You havent done anything this week! Did you hear me? I said study. W: Okay, okay! Dont go on at me! Ill do it later. Question: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers? 8. W: How long do you need for your presentation? You can have two hours. M: Two hours sounds far too long! I wouldnt want to listen to someone talking for that long. Question: What are the speakers talking about? 9. W: I saw you going into Bettys flat with her this morning. Is anything wrong M: Her washing machine had flooded the kitchen. We had planned to go into town and I was calling for her on the way there, but in the end we stayed at home and tidied the mess in the kitchen. Question: Why did the man visit Betty? 10. M: So, whats troubling you, Mrs. James? W: Well, I just seem to feel absolutely exhausted all the time. I simply have no energy to do anything. Question: Where does the conversation probably take place? B)Listen to the following dialogue and choose the best answer to each question. The dialogue will be read twice. M: Good morning, everyone. Our guest this morning is the American writer Norah Levy. Norahs here in Britain this week promoting her new book“We are family”. Welcome Norah. W: Thank you. M: Now is this really true, Norah? That our position in the family affects our personality? W: Sure. OK, other factors can influence your personality too, but your position in the family is one of the strongest. M: So tell us a bit about the oldest child in a familythe first born. W: Well, the oldest children get a lot of attention from their parents and the result is that theyre usually quite self -confident people. They are often hardworking and responsible, because they often look after their younger brothers or sisters. The downside is that sometimes they can be quite bossy, and even hottempered, especially when they dont get what they want. M: What about the middle child? W: Well, middle children are usually independent and sociable. M: Sociable? W: Yes, because they have always had other children to play with. However, on the negative side middle children are changeable. M: And the youngest children? W: If youre the youngest in a family, youll probably be a relaxed person. This is because parents are usually more relaxed when they have their last child. On the other hand, youngest children are often quite lazy. This is because they always have family members to help them. M: OK, thats all very interesting. Now, Im an only child. People often have the idea that only children like me are spoilt. Is that true? W: Well, of course its true! Only children dont have to share with anyone. As a result they think of themselves more than of other people. M: OK. Well, that sounds like a good description of me! Is there any good news? W: Yes, there is. On the positive side, only children are usually very organized and responsible. M: Well, thank you, Norah, and good luck with the book. And now its time for the news headlines. C)Listen to the following discussion between Holt and his assistant about a case of murder and match the information in the two columns. The discussion will be read twice. W: So who was the one who killed Mr. Makepeace? M: Cant you guess? W: Well, I think it was probably Mrs. James, the woman who was living in the room next door to him. M: No, Laura, of course it wasnt. Mrs. James only wanted the money he owed her. She wont get that now that hes dead. W: Oh, yes, I hadnt thought about that. So was it Mr. Grant, the man who always shared their table in the evenings? M: No, Laura. Its true that he loved Liz, Mrs. Makepeace, but he knew that she didnt love him. And he probably believed that she could never fall in love with a man who had murdered her husband. W: I suppose thats true. So who was it then? John, his son? Do you think that he wanted to have the money that would be due to him from his fathers life insurance policy? M: Well no, because he knew that he would not get a penny if his father died unclearly. And apart from that, I think that in a way he loved his father. The one he hates is Mr. Bottomley, the man his mother is in love with. W: So who did kill Mr. Makepeace? M: Well, I feel quite sure now that it was Mrs. Makepeace. W: Mrs. Makepeace! M: Yes. She had never loved the man she had married. What she loved was all the money he had. Then Mr. Bottomley came along. He had money too and she loved him. But she had to get Mr. Makepeace out of the way. W: Yes. Thats reasonable. III. Passages(短文理解)(共 10 小题每小题 1 分计 10 分) A) Listen to the following material and choose the best answer to each question.
