Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?
A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of the College English Test (CET).
范文：
A test of spoken English will be included as an optional (component of the College English Test (CET). Some people contend that it is absolutely necessary to hold a test of spoken English in China because we have been told many times that a Chinese student who has been learning English for years cannot communicate with a native English speaker. Sometimes even those top students who excel at grammar and writing skills find their English inadequate to express their thoughts freely when speaking. A test of spoken English will bring the importance of speaking English to the awareness of the college students, and thus help them with their communicating skills.
英語口語測(cè)試將包括一個(gè)可選的（全國大學(xué)英語考試（CET）組件。有人認(rèn)為，在中國舉辦英語口語考試是絕對(duì)必要的，因?yàn)槲覀円呀?jīng)說過很多次，一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)英語的中國學(xué)生不能用英語交流。有時(shí)甚至那些擅長語法和寫作技巧的學(xué)生發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的英語不足以表達(dá)他們的思想。英語口語測(cè)試將對(duì)大學(xué)生的認(rèn)知能力帶來一定的意義，從而幫助他們與學(xué)生交流的技能。
On the other hand, there are also people who maintain that good reading and writing skills would be enough for the average English learners. College students are already under considerable pressure from their coursework. Another required test will only add to their burden. Also, some students may take the shortcut and only practice the questions according to the fixed format of the test, which will not actually improve their spoken English.
另一方面，也有人認(rèn)為，良好的閱讀和寫作技能對(duì)普通英語學(xué)習(xí)者來說是足夠的了。大學(xué)生已經(jīng)從他們的課程相當(dāng)大的壓力下。另一個(gè)要求的測(cè)試只會(huì)增加他們的負(fù)擔(dān)。此外，一些學(xué)生可能會(huì)采取的快捷方式，只有練習(xí)的問題，根據(jù)測(cè)試的固定格式，這將不會(huì)真正提高他們的英語口語。
I believe that a test of spoken English will do more good than harm. Since China will continue its policy of opening and reform, the ability to speak fluent English is a must for anyone who wants to surpass others in a highly competitive society. Whether I take the test or not, I shall make all efforts to practice my spoken English in the rest years in college.
我相信一個(gè)英語口語考試會(huì)做弊大于弊。中國將繼續(xù)開放和改革的政策，能說流利的英語是任何想要在競(jìng)爭激烈的社會(huì)中超越他人的必須的。不管我是否參加考試，我都會(huì)努力練習(xí)在大學(xué)的其他幾年的英語口語。
The Craze of Pursuing Graduate Studies 考研熱
Each year， millions of Chinese college students sit for qualifying examinations for graduate studies， primarily in Master’s programs. Students prepare for those examinations either through years of arduous self-education or by spending large sums of money attending local training schools. The publishing of examinations-related study materials and the training programs offered， both online and offline， have combined to form a sizable industry.
每年數(shù)以百萬計(jì)的中國大學(xué)生參加研究生入學(xué)資格考試，主要是攻讀碩士學(xué)位課程。學(xué)生們要么通過數(shù)年艱辛的自學(xué)，要么通過花上不菲的一筆錢參加當(dāng)?shù)嘏嘤?xùn)學(xué)校的課程，來準(zhǔn)備這些資格考試。與考試相關(guān)的學(xué)習(xí)材料的出版，以及網(wǎng)上和網(wǎng)下所提供的培訓(xùn)課程，一起構(gòu)成了一個(gè)規(guī)�？捎^的產(chǎn)業(yè)。
An alarming fact about this craze is that most students pursue graduate studies not out of their voluntary will. Faced with the harsh reality in the employment market， which is forever looking for graduates with higher degrees， many college graduates find going to graduate schools is a good way to avoid unemployment and to enhance one’s competitiveness in future job hunting.
關(guān)于這股熱潮，一個(gè)觸目驚心的事實(shí)是，大多數(shù)學(xué)生并不是出于他們自主的意愿而去追求研究生階段的學(xué)習(xí)的。面對(duì)著就業(yè)市場(chǎng)上嚴(yán)峻的現(xiàn)實(shí)，看著雇主們永遠(yuǎn)將目光投向那些學(xué)歷更高的畢業(yè)生，許多大學(xué)生發(fā)現(xiàn)，進(jìn)入研究生院去攻讀碩士學(xué)位不失為一個(gè)良策，一方面避免了失業(yè)，另一方面可以提升未來求職過程中的`競(jìng)爭力。
However， without that voluntary initiative， most students who do enter graduate schools are not motivated. For them， the only thing that ultimately counts is the degree or the diploma which they expect could give them an upper hand against other job hunters. As to the actual substance of their graduate studies， it’s not a big deal for them， as long as it leads to that degree or diploma. It is really pathetic to see that students undertake graduate studies with an ulterior motive—not for the sake of loving what they study， but for the sake of merely landing a job， which in many cases might be unrelated to what they have studied.
然則，沒有了那份由衷而發(fā)的積極性，最終得以進(jìn)入研究生院的學(xué)生，其中大多數(shù)缺乏自我上進(jìn)的動(dòng)力。對(duì)于他們而言，最終而言，唯有其文憑或?qū)W位事關(guān)重大。他們希望，這個(gè)學(xué)位或文憑能提升其優(yōu)勢(shì)，戰(zhàn)勝其他求職者。至于他們研究生課程實(shí)際學(xué)習(xí)什么內(nèi)容，于他們而言并非關(guān)鍵所在，只要所學(xué)的東西能帶來一紙學(xué)位或文憑即可�？粗鴮W(xué)生們并非懷著一種真實(shí)的意圖去攻讀研究生課程，實(shí)在令人感到悲哀：學(xué)生們并不真正熱愛其所學(xué)的內(nèi)容，而只是為了找到一份工作，并且這份工作在很多情形中可能與其所學(xué)專業(yè)毫不相關(guān)。
The chill truth is that students soon find their anticipations are a mere dream. As so many undergraduates proceed onto graduate studies， the employment situation remains as severe as ever. Instead of bringing about apparent competitive edges， two or three years of additional academic training is simply a waste of time and energy. They need to reflect on this craze and would have been better off distinguishing themselves with outstanding knowledge and skills when they were undergraduates.
一個(gè)令人心寒的事實(shí)真相是，學(xué)生們很快就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，他們的期望純粹是一種幻想。由于本科之后繼續(xù)讀研的學(xué)生如此之眾，就業(yè)形勢(shì)一如既往地嚴(yán)峻。二至三年額外的學(xué)術(shù)訓(xùn)練沒能給學(xué)生帶來顯著的競(jìng)爭優(yōu)勢(shì)，而是令他們白白地浪費(fèi)了時(shí)光與精力，大學(xué)生們有必要對(duì)此熱潮展開反思。如果他們?cè)缭诒究破陂g就以優(yōu)異的學(xué)識(shí)與能力脫穎而出的話，他們的處境肯定會(huì)來的好得多。
【炫詞/炫語/炫句研究】
1. to sit for examinations： 就相當(dāng)于to take part in examinations
2. qualifying examination；資格考試；體育上的資格賽就叫 qualifying matches
3. graduate studies： “研究生學(xué)習(xí)”的美國說法； 英國的說法是postgraduate studies
4. Master’s program：碩士學(xué)位課程；“本科學(xué)位課程”是undergraduate program或Bachelor’s program; “博士學(xué)位課程”是 Ph.D. program 或 doctoral program;
5. to prepare for examinations： 備考
6. either through …or by …： 要么是通過…， 要么是憑借…
7. years of arduous self-education： 數(shù)年的艱苦自學(xué)； arduous：艱難卓絕的； self-education的另一個(gè)說法是self-study;
8. to spend large sums of money attending local training schools： spend time or money （on） doing something; 另外，在large sums of money這個(gè)表達(dá)方式中，雖然money是不可數(shù)的，但作為量詞的sum是可數(shù)的，要用復(fù)數(shù)，謂語動(dòng)詞也相應(yīng)要用復(fù)數(shù)。類似的例子有amount， 如large amounts of energy， 其用法與large sums of money相同。
準(zhǔn)備期末考試 Prepare for the Final Exam
It s almost the end of this term, so I have to prepare for the final exam. Chinese, math and English are the three subjects. I am not so good at math, so I must work hard. Every night, I spend little time on watching TV. Luckily, I don t have much homework and I have enough time to review. I hope I can do a good job in the exam.
這學(xué)期差不多結(jié)束了,所以我要為期末考試做準(zhǔn)備。語文、數(shù)學(xué)和英語的三個(gè)主科。我不太擅長數(shù)學(xué),所以我必須努力學(xué)習(xí)。每天晚上,我花很少的時(shí)間看電視。幸運(yùn)的是,我沒有有很多的家庭作業(yè),我有足夠的時(shí)間復(fù)習(xí)。我希望我能在考試中做得很好。
成績單 School Report
When I go to school, I will have a test once a month, I am so afraid to tell my mother the school report, if I do well, my mother is happy, but if I am not doing well, I let my mother down. The school report is so horrible, I think the parents should treat it right, whether the child do well, they should encourage the kids.
當(dāng)我上學(xué)的時(shí)候，我每個(gè)月都會(huì)有一次考試，我很害怕告訴媽媽考試的成績單，如果我做好了，我媽媽很高興，但是如果我沒有做的很好，我讓媽媽失望了。成績單很恐怖，我覺得家長應(yīng)該正確對(duì)待成績單，無論孩子是否考好，他們都應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)孩子。
Badly Performed Students Should Fail the test 表現(xiàn)差者不能通過考試
According to the authoritative report, the number of college student is growth, while the quality is not as good as before. In the meantime, whether students perform badly should fail the course have spoken much debate? Some assert that school should not be so desperate, just turning a blind eye to their behavior, while others convinces that student should take their responsibility for their performance. Personally, I’min favor of second one.
據(jù)權(quán)威報(bào)告，大學(xué)生的數(shù)量持續(xù)上漲，而質(zhì)量卻不如以前好。同時(shí)，表現(xiàn)不好的學(xué)生是否應(yīng)該不通過考試已經(jīng)有了很多的辯論？有的人認(rèn)為學(xué)校不應(yīng)該如此絕望，對(duì)學(xué)生的行為只是視而不見，而另一些人認(rèn)為學(xué)生應(yīng)該為他們的行為負(fù)責(zé)。就我個(gè)人而言，我支持第二個(gè)觀點(diǎn)。
Convince arguments can be made that if school let all students pass the course, it will increase their laziness. To start with, students will not worry about being registered by disciplinary inspector when they get up late. Therefore some of them will play computer games very late until midnight. Some students even don’t attend the class and finish assignments. They hold a view on mind: even they get a low score on final exam, they still can pass it. Besides, some students do somepart-time jobs or join in student union but they can’t be the excuses for escaping learning. Finally, if teachers get all students through the exam, it must be unfair to struggling students and damage school's reputation.
使人信服的理由有，如果學(xué)校讓學(xué)生通過課程考試，會(huì)增加他們惰性。首先，學(xué)生們不用擔(dān)心起床晚了被紀(jì)律檢查員記名。因此，有一些人會(huì)玩電腦游戲玩到很晚，一直到午夜。甚至有些學(xué)生不上課，也不寫作業(yè)。他們堅(jiān)定的認(rèn)為：即使他們期末考試的時(shí)候分?jǐn)?shù)很低，他們?nèi)匀粫?huì)及格。此外，一些學(xué)生做一些兼職工作或參加學(xué)生會(huì)，但都不能作為逃避學(xué)習(xí)的借口。最后，如果教師讓所有的學(xué)生通過了考試，對(duì)那些努力學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生肯定是不公平的，也會(huì)損害學(xué)校的聲譽(yù)。
In summary, I would concede that students who perform badly should be fail, as it makes students more lazy,damage school's reputation and unfair to the diligent students.
總之，我認(rèn)為那些表現(xiàn)不好的學(xué)生應(yīng)該不及格，因?yàn)檫@樣會(huì)使學(xué)生變得更懶，損害學(xué)校的聲譽(yù)而且對(duì)勤奮學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生不公平。
我對(duì)考試的觀點(diǎn) My View on Examinations
We live in a world full of competition. And the examination is one of the tools to exam whether we meet the standard or not. If we want to enter the key university, we have to get high marks on the College Entrance Exam;if we want to have a good job, we will go through a series of interviews and tests;If we want to drive a car, we have to pass the driving test. Some people complain that there are too many exams in our lives, and these exams cannot truly or fully reflect a person’s ability. Unfortunately, our fate and future are depending on these exams. We cannot avoid them.
我們生活在一個(gè)充滿競(jìng)爭的世界。而考試，是檢測(cè)我們是否符合要求的工具之一。如果我們要進(jìn)入重點(diǎn)大學(xué)，我們就得在高考中獲得高分;如果我們想要找份好工作，就得通過一系列的面試和考試;如果我們想開車，就得通過駕照考試。一些人抱怨生活中有太多的考試，而這些考試并不能真正全面的反映一個(gè)人的能力。可不幸的是，我們的命運(yùn)和未來都取決于這些考試。我們不能擺脫考試。
It’s true that the examinations can only test what we remember instead of what we know. A student with a good memory may find it very easy to get high marks before the examinations. All he needs to do is to remember the knowledge from the textbooks. In this situation, it’s quite unfair to evaluate the students only through exams. What’s more, some unexpected accidents may happen to the students such as a high fever or a sudden headache; this will affect the final marks. Since no one can performs stable all the time.
考試能檢測(cè)到的只是我們所記得的，而不是我們真正了解的知識(shí)。一個(gè)擁有好記性的學(xué)生會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)在考試之前拿高分是件很容易的事情。他所要做的就是把課本上的內(nèi)容記住。在這種情況下，僅僅通過考試去評(píng)估一個(gè)學(xué)生是不公平的。更何況，一些意想不到的事情可能會(huì)發(fā)生，例如考生可能會(huì)發(fā)高燒或者是突然的頭痛。這樣會(huì)影響到考試的結(jié)果。畢竟沒有人會(huì)一直保持穩(wěn)定狀態(tài)。
Sometimes, luck plays a vital role in the examinations. The student may guess an answer right although he doesn’t work hard on the course. If the student has a good handwriting, he may get higher marks than others. There are many subjective factors that may affect the outcome of the exams.
有時(shí)候，運(yùn)氣也在考試中扮演重要角色。沒認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生也有可能猜對(duì)答案。如果考生寫得一手好字，那他的分?jǐn)?shù)也有可能會(huì)比其他的同學(xué)高。很多主觀的因素也會(huì)影響最終的分?jǐn)?shù)。
In a word, it’s not enough to use exams to evaluate the students. If the schools want to assess the students, they should use different ways. Only in this way, the result may be fair.
一句話：只用考試來檢測(cè)學(xué)生遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠。如果學(xué)校要評(píng)估學(xué)生，那就應(yīng)該用不同的方式。只有這樣，結(jié)果才公正。
