一、評分原則：

1．本題總分為:A）10分；B）15分。按四個檔次給分。

2．評分時，先根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容和語言初步確定其所屬檔次，然后以該檔次的要求來衡量，確定或調(diào)整本檔次，最后給分。

3．作文詞數(shù)少于或多于規(guī)定詞數(shù)20詞的，從總分中減去2分。

4．如書寫較差，以至影響交流，將分數(shù)降低一個檔次。

二、各檔次的給分范圍和要求：

第四檔（很好）：A）9—10分；B）12—15分

完全完成了試題規(guī)定的要求，覆蓋所有內(nèi)容要點，符合英語表達習慣,應(yīng)用了較多的語法結(jié)構(gòu)和詞匯，沒有語法和詞匯錯誤，具備較強的語言運用能力，完全達到了預(yù)期的寫作目的。

第三檔（好）：A）6—8分；B）9—11分

完成了試題規(guī)定的要求，應(yīng)用的語法結(jié)構(gòu)和詞匯能滿足題目的要求，符合英語表達習慣,基本沒有語法和詞匯錯誤，達到了預(yù)期的寫作目的。

第二檔（一般）：A）3—5分；B）5—8分

未恰當完成試題規(guī)定的要求，漏掉內(nèi)容要點，未描述清楚主要內(nèi)容，寫了一些無關(guān)內(nèi)容，有語法和詞匯錯誤，影響了對寫作內(nèi)容的理解，信息未能清楚地傳達給讀者。

第一檔（差）：A）1—2分；B）1—4分

未完成試題規(guī)定的要求，明顯遺漏主要內(nèi)容，寫了一些無關(guān)內(nèi)容，語法結(jié)構(gòu)單調(diào)，詞匯項目有限，有較多語法和詞匯錯誤，影響對寫作內(nèi)容的理解，信息未能傳達給讀者。

0分

未能傳達給讀者任何信息：沒有內(nèi)容或內(nèi)容太少，無法評判，寫的內(nèi)容均與所要求內(nèi)容無關(guān)或所寫內(nèi)容無法看清。

三、說明：

1．內(nèi)容可用不同方式表達。

2．對緊扣主題的適當發(fā)揮不予扣分。2005年全國中學生英語能力競賽(NEPCS)初賽高二年級組試題聽力部分錄音原文PartI.Sentences
