二、考核依據教材

三、考試方式和評分原則
英語口語考試同時對兩位考生進行考試，考生搭檔(partner)由電腦統一派對。口語考試由兩位教師主考。兩位主考給每位考生各自打分，考生的最后成績為兩個分數的平均分。主考將依據考生的語音語調、流利程度、思想表達、交際能力、語言得體性及有無重大語法錯誤等方面評分。

四、考試內容和題型
英語口語考試分為三部分，總分100分，考試時間約為7-8分鐘，準備時間為5分鐘，考試具體內容和要求如下圖所示：

考試內容 考試方式 考試時間 準備時間 分數比例
1．“熱身”對話(Warm-up Conversation） 兩位考生相互問候、就指定的2-3個話題進行對話 約3分鐘 無 35%

2．朗讀對話(Reading Aloud a Dialogue) 兩位考生交替進行 約1-2分鐘 無 25%

3．角色扮演(Role Play) 兩位考生根據各自所給的題目或要求進行對話 約3分鐘 5分鐘 40%

第一部分為“熱身”對話，占35分。要求兩位考生相互用英語進行問候，然后就主考教師指定的2-3個話題進行對話。這部分的主要目的是：1）消除考生緊張的心理，逐步進入考試狀態；2）考查學生的交際能力。因此要求考生有較豐富的知識面的同時，較熟練地掌握生活場景（社交，天氣、嗜好、文娛體育、購物、飲食、觀光旅游、公共交通等）中的常用表達方式。

第二部分為朗讀對話，占25分。要求兩位考生用正確的語音、語調流利地朗讀一個對話。

第三部分為角色扮演，此部分為英語口語考試的重要部分，占40分。要求考生具有口頭靈活應用英語的能力和應變能力。在口語考試正式進行之前5分鐘，給兩位考生各發一份卷，考卷上標明兩位考生在第三部分各自要扮演的角色、場景和會話要求等，然后給考生5分鐘準備。在準備期間，兩位考生只能獨立準備自己要扮演的角色，不能告知對方自己的角色或與同伴討論如何進行對話。在進行完第一、二部分后，要求考生根據要求及所準備的進行約2分鐘的對話。在對話過程中，要求考生根據場景和角色盡可能多地應用功能語言，如建議、邀請、忠告、同意、許可、反對等，和正確地使用語法結構，如過去時、將來時、進行時、完成時等。

五、命題要求
1． 命題應嚴格按照本大綱對學生口語技能的要求，不能隨意提高或降低標準。

2． 命題應嚴格按照本大綱內容和題型要求設計題型，不得隨意改變。

3． 每次考試要求出四份試題，要根據不同時間段和考生分組情況使用不同的試題。試題中適當采用教材中的材料，但分值一般不得超過總分的40%。

六、題型舉例

Part Two Reading Aloud a Dialogue (25%)
You are required to read aloud a dialogue, with one playing Role A and the other Role B. For example:

A: I’ve heard a lot about the improved standard of living of the Chinese people, but I didn’t expect to see such great changes. Thirty-eight years ago I worked in the village for a short time and the peasants had a very hard life then. The land was barren and the people wore very tattered clothes. But yesterday, I saw two-storeyed houses, bicycles, sewing machines, colorful and fashionable clothing. I just couldn’t believe my eyes.

B: But you know the changes were not so great until only about three or four years ago when the State began to adopt a new policy in the countryside. The peasants are now encouraged to produce more and earn more through honest labour. So more and more peasants have become very well-off and there’s a great demand for all kinds of consumer goods.

A: Yes, I could see that. I saw many kinds of consumer goods in the village that country folk didn’t even know about last time I was in China.

B: You mentioned bicycles and sewing machines. Those have become quite common in the rural areas today. I’ve recently come across an article in a magazine which reported on the changes in the peasants’ needs. Even I was surprised at the kinds of things they want to buy today.
