英语b级考试技巧
英语b级考试技巧
英语b级考试技巧一、复习时注意的要点（一）、大学英语统考是全国性的统考，走“标准
化”的道路所谓“标准化”英语测试就是：（1）内容和形式的标准化；（2）评分的客观性和
一致性；（3）考试过程的标准化。因而复习及应试时就有一定的技巧性。经验1：复习要抓
住重点，有得有舍比如：完型填空就是对平时水平的测试，很难在短时间通过做题有所提高。
而交际用语、阅读、语法，作文可以在短期内提高分数，复习时应把时间和重点放在这里。
经验2：做选择题时，不要漏题没把握的和不会的选项，不要空。但不要任意地选择。集中
A、B、C、D采用排除法做出选择。（二）、考前的准备在统考前， 1.
思想上的准备应树立通过的信心。同时排除侥幸心理。试项目，能在短期内在成绩上有较快的提高，
(1) 备一本简易通俗的语法书。 (2) (3) 准备
一些水平合适的阅读材料。 (4)
(5) 备一本简单的英语日常口语对话教材。 答题技巧（一）（1）、（2）学习
过程中很少见到。工作： 1 购物、问路、借东西、 例题一：— What
can I do for you? A. I want a kilo of apples B. You can
go your own way
undefined
这题的答案是 A. I want a kilo of apples 为
什么是 What can I do for you ? 这是一句典型的“服务行业”用语，
“你买什么？”在其他公共场合就
是：B C D选项即不是希望对方为自己作什么，也
的回答是“要买一公斤苹果。”只有A与所给的问题组成了一段意思
合理，所以A是正确答案例题二：— Do you mind telling me where you're
from? — A. Certainly. I'm from London. B. Sure. I was
born in London. C. Not really, you can do it. D. Certainly not. I'm form London. Do you mind ?句型，回答时：如果是肯定的如，yes, certainly 那就是我在意，请你不要做什
么如果自己不在意，回答应该是： No， not at all. 这道题的干扰因素是：A B D 都回答
了 I'm from London. 或 I was born in London. 它们都回答了 Where are you from? 这个提问。
这说明这三个回答前面的用语是正确与否的关键。A B 一个用了 Certainly 一个用了 Sure 。
肯定的回答，它违反了英语回答 Do you mind? 这类问题的习惯。只有 Certainly not. I'm from
London. 是正确答案例题三：— Do you think I could borrow your dictionary? —
_____________________. A. Yes, you may borrow. B. Yes, go on. C. Yes, help
yourself. D. It doesn't matter. 对方问“我能借你的字典吗？”四个回答都好象是肯定
的回答，看不出又什么不对。但是如果理解了每一个回答，就能分辨出哪一个是最合适的回
答。 A. you may borrow. 你可以借。 B. go on 请继续。继续什么呢？不清楚。D.It
doesn't matter. 没关系。这个回答好象对方作错了什么事。 C. Yes, help yourself. 自己动
手（等于说：拿吧）所以C是正确答案。从上面三个例子，我们可以总结以下规律：交际用
语的答案不是明显的对错问题，它是是否符合口语习惯的问题。答题时，不是寻找错误，而
是判断语言的使用是否规范。要熟悉各种情景的对话用语，这样可以在短时间内，判断对话
发生的地点和场景。要熟悉西方人们日常的交际习惯，礼貌规则。这里所说的人们交往的交
际习惯应该是西方文化中的习惯，而不是我们东方文化中，特别是我们自己生活中习惯了的
交往方式。这里特别提醒大家注意：我们是在说英语，不是用英语的句型套用汉语的习惯。
比如在中国，当人们夸奖我们英语讲得不错的时候，我们会很谦虚地回答：“讲得不好，还
得好好学习。”但是，这个回答不同于西方文化中的习惯。在英语里，我们就会回答：
“Thank you.”表示感谢。在交际用语中， Thank
you和Sorry 的使用。下面是交际用语的一些参考的范围： 1 a. 问
候与应答 b. 介绍 c. 告别 d. f. 提供帮助与应答 g. 祝愿与应答 h. 道歉与应答 j. 时
间与日期 k. 表示个人意见 l. 2． a. 约
会 b. 打电话 c. e. 天气 f. 交通 g. 购物 h. 就餐 j. 健康 k. 学校
生活 l. 家庭生活（二）、 预言与推断。即阅读一篇文章时，根据逻辑关
school,篇章如果是生疏的，这说明什么问题吗？
也就是说：历史发明、自然现象、人际关系、等等。 2、
为了提高阅读理解的速度，考生
在我国，有些英语学习者
这是一种误解。语法是语言的
结构关系，但是，仅仅学好语法
就会影响词汇量的扩大。另外，有些学生做阅读理解部分的题目。
读完了，这种满足于答案正确的做法使学生忽略了
但是阅读材料中
讲的到底是什么，读过之后没有任何印象。如果把阅读材料要当作精读来学习，文章读过了，
词汇量扩大了，语感增强了。不仅阅读水平提高、词汇扩大、对完型填空的做题水平也会提
高。 3、影响考生理解意思的主要原因是只注意了单句的理解而忽略了整篇的理解，或只
注意了文字表面上的意思而忽略了深层含义及隐含意思的理解。对篇章的理解建立在对句子
之间和段落之间逻辑关系正确的判断。首先，应掌握文章所表达的主题思想和作者的态度。
读者必须理解文章主张什么，不主张什么，作者支持什么，不支持什么，作者表面上赞同什
么，而实际上赞同的却又是什么。读者只理解单句的意思，不注意上下文的逻辑关系，文章
真正的含义就无法搞懂。考试时，考试的题目往往让考生选择最佳选项添补所提的问题。选
择答案时考生特别要注意因果关系和顺序关系。文章中没有现成的答案，而是需要通过对文
章的理解进行归纳、总结和推理才能得出
英语B级复习资料完整版
（一）名词
B．例题讲解
What a beautiful house! Especially there are many （家具）.
多么 漂亮的房子!
A. furniture
家具 特别是 有很多 C. pieces of furniture 件家具 D. pieces of furnitures B. furnitures （错误）
解析：此题考查名词的单复数。Furniture（家具） 为不可数名词，后面不能加s。很多家具用many pieces of furniture，因此答案为C。
B．例题讲解
1）______ girl dressed ______ black is her sister Rose. （《大学英语》（B）Test 2, 34）
A. A; in B. A; on C. The; on D. The; in
解析：D。介词in可表示“穿（戴）”的意思。此外，特指“穿黑色衣服的女孩”，用定冠词the.
2）He is fond（喜欢）of playing _______ piano（钢琴） while（而） his brother is interested in listening to _______ music. （《大学英语》（B）Test 5, 36）
A. /; the B. /; / C. the; / D. the; the
解析：C。演奏的乐器名词前+the。Music为不可数名词，其前不可用a/an，而题意“对音乐感兴趣”并没有特指哪种音乐，也不可用the.
3）He goes to ______ church every Sunday. ______ church he usually goes to has seating for over a thousand.
A. a, the B. /, The C. The, the D. /, a
解析：B。go to church“做礼拜”是惯用法，不用冠词。“他常去的教堂”表特指，前加the。
1）The baby is hungry, but there’s ______ milk in the bottle. （《大学英语》（B）Test 2, 28）
A. little B. a little C. few D. a few
解析：A。milk是不可数名词，所以只能用little/a little修饰，而根据题意“宝宝饿了，但瓶里几乎没有牛奶了”，只能选little。
2）She has two best friends. ______ of them is in the country. （《大学英语》（B）Test 2, 44）
A. All B. Both C. No one D. Neither
解析：D。代词all表“所有”和both表“两者都”，其后的谓语动词需要用复数。neither表“两者都不”，其后的谓语动词用单数。
3）—It’s time to tidy your room, Harry! （《大学英语》（B）Test 5, 33）
—See the tidy room, Mum! _______ is where it should be. Test 5
A. Something B. Anything C. Everything D. Nothing
解析：C。根据说话人所说内容可以知道，房间里一切都很整洁，含有整体性，应用everything。Anything主要用于疑问句和否定句中。
4）The red flower goes from one to _______ in the class. （《大学英语》（B）Test 6, 27）
A. the other B. others C. another D. other
解析：C。按照句意传花不是两者之间（from one to the other），而是三者以上（from one to another），故选C。
1）They have learned about ______ in recent years. （《大学英语》（B）Test 2, 37）
A. several hundreds English words B. hundreds of English words
C. hundred of English words D. several hundred English word
解析：B。hundreds of 之类的短语之前也可加many，several之类的词修饰。A项的错误在于hundreds后缺少of。
2）Nancy is ______ girl. （《大学英语》（B）Test 2, 29）
A. a eighteen-year-old B. an eighteen-years-old
C. a eighteen-years-old D. an eighteen-year-old
解析：D。eighteen-year-old是一个由连字符连接的复合形容词（其中year不用复数），作girl的定语。同时，由于eighteen是元音开头的词，前面的不定冠词用an。
1）Your box is mine.
A. four times as big as
C. as four times big B. four times as bigger as D. as big as four times
解析：A。在as„as句型中，如有表示程度的状语（如 twice, three times），则置于第一个as之前，表示前者是后者的几倍。
2）Today’s weather is ______ worse than yesterday’s. （《大学英语》（B）Test 2, 40）
A. very B. much C. very much D. much too
解析：B。very用来修饰形容词的原级形式；much修饰比较级；very much一般用来修饰动词； much too常用来修饰形容词的原级形式。

—No. The more _______, _______ I feel.
A. medicine I take; and the worse
C. I take medicine; the worse B. medicine I take; the worse D. I take medicine; worse

4）—What will you buy for your boyfriend’s birthday? （《大学英语》（B）Test 5, 34） —I want to buy a _______ wallet for him.
A. black leather small
C. small leather black B. small black leather D. black small leather
解析：B。根据多个形容词作定语次序排列规律，应该是small（大小）+black（颜色）+leather（质地）。
1）When Lily came home at 5 p.m. yesterday, her mother ______ dinner in the kitchen. （《大学英语》（B）Test 1, 36）
A. cooked B. was cooking C. cooks D. has cooked
解析：B。此题意思为：当Lily昨天下午五点回家时，妈妈正在厨房里做饭。用过去进行时。
2）John’s father ______ mathematics in this school ever since he graduated from Harvard University. （《大学英语》（B）Test 1, 40）
A. taught B. teaches C. has taught D. is teaching
解析：C。此题意思为：约翰的父亲自从哈佛大学毕业后就一直在这所学校读书，这种状态一直持续到现在，所以句子用现在完成时。
3）I was giving a talk to a large group of people, the same talk I ______ to half a dozen other groups before. （《大学英语》（B）Test 2, 45）
A. was giving B. am giving C. had given D. have given

B．例题讲解
1）Bob said that it is easy _______.
A. for him being on time B. being on time for him
C. for him to be on time D. on time for him
解析：答案C。此题that从句中，用it作形式主语，而将不定式to be on time（准时）放在句子最后面。不定式前加一个for him表示不定式的动作是谁做的。
2）Would you let _______ to the park with my classmate, Mum? （《大学英语》（B）Test 4, 28）
A. me go B. me going C. I go D. I going
解析：答案A。let是使役动词，用不带to的不定式作宾补，即let sb. do sth.这个结构。
3）You don’t mind ______ you Xiao Li, do you? （《大学英语》（B）Test 3, 31）
A. call B. to call C. to calling D. my calling
解析：答案D。mind后面只能用动名词作宾语。
4）Charles regretted ______ the TV set last year. The price has now come down. （《大学英语》
（B）Test 3, 33）
A. buying B. to buy C. of D. from
解析：答案A。regret后既可用动名词，也可用不定式，前者表后悔做了某事（动作已做了），后者则表为要去做某事遗憾（动作还没有做）。根据题意思，应选A。
5）There was so much noise in the classroom that the teacher couldn’t make himself _______. （《大学英语》（B）Test 4, 41）
A. heard B. hearing C. to hear D. hear
解析：答案A。宾语与宾语补足语之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词。
6）Do you know the man ______ under the apple tree? （《大学英语》（B）Test 2, 31）
A. lay B. lain C. lying D. laying
解析：答案C。lie（lay, lain, lying）“平躺，位于”；lie（lied, lied, lying）“撒谎”；lay（laid, laid, laying）“放置”。根据题意，应该用“平躺”之意。分词表示的动作与其修饰的词之间是主动关系，用现在分词，所以选C。
7）_______ tomorrow’s lessons, Frank has no time to go out with his friends. （《大学英语》
（B）Test 5, 45）
A. Not preparing B. Not having prepared
C. Not to prepare D. Being not prepared
解析：答案B。非谓语动词的否定形式都是在最前边加not，排除D。由于“还没有完成对明天功课的准备”，因此“不能跟朋友外出玩耍”，根据句意，强调动作的完成性，用完成式。
1）The young lady coming over to us ______ our English teacher; the way she walks tells us that! （《大学英语》（B）Test 1, 42）
A. must be B. can be C. would be D. could be
解析：A。从后面的进一步解释中我们可以看到说话人语气十分肯定，表示对„„很有把握的推测。
2）You ______ buy some reference books when you go to college. （《大学英语》（B）Test 3, 27）
A. could B. will have to C. must D. might
解析：B。could与might与题意不符。must表示“主观要求必须做某事”，have to则表示“客观情况要求不得不做某事”。根据题意，选B最恰当。
3）He didn’t pass the final examination. He ______ it. （《大学英语》（B）Test 3, 28）
A. must have prepared for B. ought to prepare for
C. ought to have prepared for D. ought to prepare for

1）Every year thousands of lives ______ in road accidents because of careless driving. （《大学英语》（B）Test 1, 41）
A. lose B. lost C. have lost D. are lost
解析：D。因为是每一年，所以句子用现在时；生命被夺走，所以用被动语态。
2）After the Minister of Education had finished speaking at the press conference, he was made ______ all sorts of awkward questions. （《大学英语》（B）Test 3, 40）
A. answer B. answering C. answered D. to answer
解析：D。题项中将make sb. do sth.（让某人干某事）转换成了被动语态 sb. was made to do sth.（某人被让干某时），因此to不能少。
3）My watch has been losing time for the past week. It probably needs ______.
A. cleaning B. to clean C. cleaned D. to be cleaning
解析：A。need+动名词主动形式（cleaning）可以表被动含义。
1）Had you come five minutes earlier, you ______ the train to Birmingham. But now you missed it. （《大学英语》（B）Test 1, 43）
A. would catch B. would have caught C. could catch D. should catch
解析：B。虚拟语气用法，这里是对过去发生的事情虚拟，用“if从句+had come，主句+would have caught”。此题前面的从句省略了if，所以根据句法要求倒装，将had提前到句首。
2）The dean of the Philosophy Department requested that the visiting scholar ______ a lecture on the philosopher Sartre. （《大学英语》（B）Test 3, 39）
A. gave B. give C. would give D. had given
解析：B。request（要求）后面的宾语从句用虚拟语气，从句的谓语动词用“（should）+动词原形”。
3）I wish everybody _______ the meeting tomorrow. （《大学英语》（B）Test 4, 36）
A. will attend B. would attend C. had attended D. is going to attend
解析：B。wish后的从句用虚拟语气。当表示与将来希望相反时，从句中的谓语动词用“would+动词原形”。
4）I would rather _______ two weeks earlier. （《大学英语》（B）Test 4, 45）
A. you should come here
C. you came here B. you come here D. you had come here 解析：D。would rather后的从句用过去完成式虚拟过去的情况。
5）It’s time we _______ the lecture because everybody has arrived. （《大学英语》（B）Test 4, 26）
A. will start B. shall start C. start D. started
解析：D。“It is (high) time+从句”结构中，从句中的谓语动词用一般过去式表示虚拟语气。
e
B．例题讲解
1）Both the kids and their parents ______ English, I think. I know it from their accent.（《大学英语》（B）Test 1, 38）
A. is B. been C. are D. was
解析：答案C。both„and„表示“两者都„„”，连接的是两个不同的主语，因此谓语动词要用复数形式，所以正确答案为C选项。
2）Two thousand dollars ______ enough for the car. （《大学英语》（B）Test 2, 36）
A. being B. were C. are D. is{b级4级英语考试策划书}.
解析：答案D。此题是用钱来做主语，而货币单位做主语时看作单数，因为它在概念上属于一个整体，因此正确答案为D选项。此外，距离、重量、时间等单位充当主语时也看作单数。
3）The young _______ interested in pop music. （《大学英语》（B）Test 5, 41）
A. is B. have C. has D. are
解析：答案D。此题的主语是the＋形容词表示一类人，意思是“年轻人”，表示的是复数意义，因此谓语动词也要用复数形式，并且表示“对„„感兴趣”是用的be interested in sth，正确答案为D选项。
B．例题讲解
1）Never before ______ see such a terrible car accident on the road! （《大学英语》（B）Test 1, 39）
A. I have B. have I C. I did D. did I
解析：表示否定意义的词never放在句首，要倒装，因此排除A和C选项；考查B选项，助动词用的have，与后面的动词原形see不一致，因此正确答案为D选项。
2）I was satisfied with her explanation, ______. （《大学英语》（B）Test 3, 42）
A. so my classmates were B. so were my classmates
C. so my classmates did C. so did my classmates
解析：用so, neither / nor引导句子表示与上文已经提到的肯定或否定意思一致时，so, neither / nor引导的句子要倒装，并且所用的谓语动词及其时态要与前面一句话的谓语动词及其时态保持一致，因此正确答案为B选项。
3）Hardly _______ on stage _______ the audience started cheering. （《大学英语》（B）Test 4, 40）
A. he had come / than
C. had he come / when B. he had come / when D. had he come / than
解析：hardly„when是固定搭配，表示“一„„就„„”；并且hardly意思是“几乎不”，表示否定意义，放在句首要倒装，因此正确答案为C选项。
4）Important _______ his discovery might be, it was regarded as a matter of no account in his time. （《大学英语》（B）Test 5, 42）
A. when B. until C. as D. although
解析：该句的意思是“______他的发明也许重要，在他那个时代，它被视为一件不重要的事情。”，根据句子的含义，可以看出前后两句话是转折的关系，因此选项部分应为让步状语从句，而在让步状语从句中，如果形容词或名词位于句首，则要用as或though，因此正确答案为C选项。

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (40 points)
Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage 1
There are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don‘t know if either story is true, but they are both interesting.
The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write ―all correct‖ on it. The problem was that he didn‘t know how spell, so what he really wrote was ―ol korekt‖. After a while, he shortened that term to ―OK‖.
The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born, Kinderhook, New York. Van Buren‘s friends organized a club to help him become President. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called ―OK‖.{b级4级英语考试策划书}.
11. The author_______________.
Passage 2
Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业), and most of the rest live in or around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas (large cities with their suburbs) of more than a million people each — a larger proportion than in Germany or England, let alone France. The statistics (统计) of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled
A. believes both of the stories B. doesn‘t believe a word of the stories C. is not sure whether the stories are true D. is telling the stories just for fun A. couldn‘t draw up any documents at all B. didn‘t like to read important papers by himself C. often had his assistants sign documents for him D. wasn‘t good at reading or spelling A. was approved of by President Jackson B. was the title of some official documents C. was first used by President Jackson D. was an old way to spell ―all correct‖
A. was the short way to say ―Old Kinderhook Club‖ B. meant the place where President Van Buren was born C. was the name of Van Buren‘s club{b级4级英语考试策划书}.
D. was used to call Van Buren‘s supporters in the election A. by Van Buren B. in a presidential election
C. to organize the Old Kinderhook Club D. by the members of the ―Old Kinderhook Club‖
12. According to the passage, President Jackson________________.
13. According to the first story, the term ―OK‖________________.
14. According to the second story, the term ―OK‖______________.
15. According to the second story, the term ―OK‖ was first used____________.
with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.
16. If now America has 250 million people, how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry ____________
A. About 25 million.
B. More than 25 million.
C. Less than 25 million.
D. Less than 225 million.
17. Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas _____________
A. United States.
B. Germany.
C. France.
D. England.
18. What‘s the meaning of the word ―metropolitan‖ in the middle of the passage _________ A. Of a large city with its suburbs. C. Of urban areas. _________
Passage 3
If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.
It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.
A. Most small towns become gradually crowded. B. Small towns are still similar to each other.
C. As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different. D. Small towns are turning into large cities. A. Because they are the same.
B. Because the rush takes place too quickly. C. Because the process is gradual.
B. Of small and large towns. D. Of rural areas.
19. According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns in the United States
20. Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb __________
D. Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas.
Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, thy may know something of the past.
They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call‘ remembered history‘. Some of it has mow been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.
21. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage ______
A. ―Remembered history‖, compared with written history, is less reliable.
B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.
C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.

大学英语B级考试复习重点及做题技巧
大学英语B级考试复习重点及做题技巧
第一部分：听力（20分）
共分三部分：A部分：短对话，一问一答（１０个问题，共１０分）
Ｂ部分：长对话（５个问题，共５分）
C部分：短文听力（５个问题，共５分）
注意：试卷上只有备选答案，需要学生在听听力材料时，要留心听并记住最后的问题是什么。否则即使听懂内容，看懂答案，也会因为不知道问题是什么，而无法做出选择。所以大家还必须熟悉问题的形式，听清楚问题是什么。特别听清以what, why, where, when, which, who等开头的问句。
复习方法：选择与样题难度相等的听力材料，反复训练。每分钟单词速度为９０－１４０单词。可利用《网考直通车》中的光碟进行练习。在练习时，听第一遍，不看原文，模拟考试状态，边听边做题，听完后检查答案。听第二遍，对照原文听。然后抛弃原文，再听一遍，加强印象。培养耳朵对英语语音、语速的适应。
做题技巧；
无论是哪一部分的听力，在开始听之前，必须先阅读试卷上的备选答案。所以，大家可以在拿到试卷后，直接跳过“做题指示”（即Directons）,抓紧时间阅读答案。这是因听力的作题指示每次都是相同的，都是告诉大家，听力材料只播放一遍，听完后选出正确答案。先看答案再听，可以从备选的四个答案中推测出听力的大概内容，帮助更好地听懂听力材料。其次，考生在答完一题后，应尽可能留出几秒中预先浏览下道题的选择答案。最后，听对话和短文时，可以做一些记录，比如记录时间、地点、人名、数字，以便做出正确的选择。 听力对话中常见的命题方式；
１、
职业类型题；以确定对话者的身份的听力测试题。这类题目的提问方式：
What is the man /woman?
What is the man’s /woman’s /occupation/profession/?w\
What do we know about the man/woman?
２、
关系类型题；以确定对话者的关系的听力测试题。如雇主与雇员、师生关系、顾客与服务员、医生与病人、店主与顾客、老板与职员、经理和秘书
what is the relationship between the man and the woman?
What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
What proper relationship do these people have?
３、
地点题
常用的提问形式：
where did this conversation most probably take place/
where are the two speakers?
４、
计算题：
这类题往往需要对时间、年龄、日期、数字等要经过计算才做出正确的选择。做题时必须熟悉数字的读法，能较快地反映成阿拉伯数字，并辨清音近的数字。
How many /how much is ……?
How long /old…..?What time……?
５、因果题：
这类题常用“why”为什么来提问，需要大家通过听力后，来答出原因。
６、态度题：
涉及男女双方对某件事情、某个观点、或某个行为表示态度，如赞成、反对、满意、生气等。 通用的提问方式：
what does/did the man/woman think of it ?how does /did the man/woman feel about it/
how does /did the man/woman like it/
第二部分：日常对话（单项选择，１０题共１０分）
这部分是考试中最容易得分的一道题，考察在某些特定场景下的口语对话能力，比如在机场如何订票登机、在商店的服务用语和答语、在餐馆如何点菜、如何发出邀请与回应邀请、如何向别人提供帮助、打电话找人、问路、向别人表示祝贺、道谢、道歉、向别人借东西、提出建议、请求许可、询问别人是否介意自己做某事等等。
题型为；
给出对话的第一句话，要求考生从四个备选答案中选出一个来回应。
比如；第一句话为；can I help you with the bag?
A.no, no I can take it myself.B thank youC sorry, you can’tD no, I am alright
从上句“我可以帮你提包吗？”我们可以知道这是提供帮助的表达，因此我们应该选Ｂ答案才是正确的符合文化背景的回应。
第三部分；阅读题
（共有３篇文章，文后各有５道题目，共１５题，每题２分，共３０分）
阅读题分数比例最大的一部分，只要做好阅读题就是成功了一半。
阅读题的文章一般是历史故事、科技短文、幽默故事、环境保护、学校教育等内容。单词量的大小是决定阅读成绩好坏的重要因素。在复习时，只有多记多背单词。
做题技巧；
注意做题顺序，不要边阅读文章边做题，或者是先阅读问题再读文章。比较正确科学的做法是，先文章再题目，在思考题目时再回到文章中寻找解题依据。考生应该具备掌握文章中心思想、主要内容和细节的能力，具备根据上下文来把握词义的能力，理解上下文的逻辑关系。 注意：一般每段的第一句即为该段的中心句。
第四部分；词汇与语法（２５分）
Ａ部分；词汇题（１５题，共１５分）
考试题型；从四个备选答案中选出一个正确的答案填入句子中的空白处，使句子完整。 考试范围；介词、副词、名词、形容词、动词、情态动词、固定搭配的短语、不定式、疑问代词、现在分词和过去分词、被动语态、比较级、从句的连接词等等。

My dad offered to pay my plane fare, which was very _______of him.
Ａgenuine Ｂminimum Ｃmodest Ｄgenerous 第二种题型：给出四个相似的答案。
如：The team will be anxious to _____________a disappointing start to the season.
A live up to B make out C make up for D live through
B部分：完型填空（１０题。共１０分）
这类题对于大部分考生来说应该比较难的。因为这种题是综合考验考生的阅读、词汇、语法等。
做题方法：阅读短文，看到空格时，停下来观察备选的四个答案，选出正确答案，再继续阅读，重复以上步骤直至填完所有空格。最后再阅读一遍，检查校对。
第五部分：写作（１５分）
首先，必须要读懂题目，题目是用英文表达的，所以能读懂弄清题目要求是写好作文的第一步。要搞清作文的体裁格式，字数要求，内容要求等。
其次，紧扣题意，开门见山,用准确的词汇、规范的语法、连贯的句群，流畅地表达出文章的观点和内容。
常见文体；电子邮件、书信、便条、通知、日记等，字数多要求在80——100字。 大学英语B级统考之语法概要
大学英语B级统考之语法部分主要涉及到连接词、动词形式与时态、主谓语一致、虚拟语气等内容，为方便考生对语法知识的复习，现将考试当中重点涉及的内容总结如下：
（一）名词
A. 知识要点
名词可分为可数名词和不可数名词。可数名词有单、复数之分。
1．不可数名词只用单数形式。如果要表示数量多少，需在其前面加量词来表达。如：a piece of news（一条新闻）；two pieces of advice（两条建议）
2．名词所有格的构成是名词加“’s”，如：Mary’s room；如原词已有复数词尾-s，则只加“’”，如：the students’ hall, 通常用于有生命的存在物的名词；名词所有格也可以由介词of加名词构成，通常用于无生命的存在物的名词, 如：the window of the classroom.
