Here I’ll give my opinion. It’s true that it is too expensive for most people to send their children abroad to study. Also, middle school students are not mature enough, and some teenagers lack the ability to care for themselves. However, I think going abroad can give a person the capacity to live and think independently. As for myself, in the USA, I learned to drive a car, go to a bank by myself and cook—I could not have imagined doing these things before that. Moreover, the American education system is very flexible. The teaching style helps students develop their critical thinking skills and makes students more self-confident. So I think there are more advantages than disadvantages for middle school students who study abroad.一、评分原则: 1.本题总分为: A) 10分; B) 15分。按四个档次给分。 2.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。 3.作文词数少于或多于规定词数20词的,从总分中减去2分。 4.如书写较差,以至影响交流,将分数降低一个档次。二、各档次的给分范围和要求: 第四档(很好):A) 9—10分; B) 12—15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,没有语法和词汇错误,具备较强的语言运用能力,完全达到了预期的写作目的。 第三档(好):A) 6—8分; B) 9—11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错误,达到了预期的写作目的。 第二档(一般):A) 3—5分; B) 5—8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):A) 1—2分; B) 1—4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,有较多语法和词汇错误,影响对写作内容的理解,信息未能传达给读者。 0分 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。三、说明: 1.内容可用不同方式表达。 2.对紧扣主题的适当发挥不予扣分。2008年全国中学生英语能力竞赛(NEPCS)决赛高一年级组试题听力部分录音原文PartI.Sentences Listen to the following sentences and choose the statement or the picture which has the same or almost the same meaning as the sentence you hear.

I was sitting in the churchyard, relaxing for a moment, and my handbag was beside me. Suddenly, someone came up from behind, grabbed my bag and pulled it very hard. I shouted, first in pain, because when he pulled the bag it hurt my wrist, then in anger as I saw him get on a motorcycle and drive away. I felt awful as I watched my passport, my money, credit cards, and an important document disappear down the road. Four days later, the police there rang me at my hotel and said they’d got him and all my things. When the man saw me, he started to cry, and said it’s the first time he had done anything illegal. He was unemployed, and he had a family to look after. He robbed me, but now I was the one who felt sorry.Passage BM: You’re listening to the Voice ofAmerica. VOA’s James Clarke reports fromCincinnati. A public competition was held last Friday afternoon in a small town nearCincinnatito find out who could eat the most in the shortest time. A man named Alex Baker succeeded in setting a new record. In a time given by the judges, Alex ate 2 big bowls of fish soup, a whole chicken, half a goose, 10 eggs cooked in different ways with 10 pieces of bread and a large cake. Besides all these, Alex finished drinking 20 glasses of beer. After winning the competition, the winner went home with Allan Kninte, a friend of his. As they were coming near his house, Alex suddenly stopped and said,“I say, my friend. Don’t tell my wife Bel about the competition until after dinner. I’m afraid she won’t give me anything to eat.”James Clarke, reporter of VOA.
