自优朗开设AEAS培训课程以来,很多考生前来报名参加辅导,但是对各位家长来说,可能AEAS考试一直蒙着一层神秘面纱,有的家长更是十分困惑:为什么自己家孩子英文水平不错却总是拿不到好分数?明明考前督促孩子背单词、练听力,但两次考试的成绩好像相差不大?今天小编就为各位2020考生及心急的家长解开迷惑,下文将分别列举一些AEAS考试真题,从题目中不难看出AEAS考试的难点不少:

Q6、B Q7、False Q8、False
从以上列举的AEAS考试真题中,不难发现该测试对于中小学考生来讲确实有不小的难度:首先是英文词汇部分,小编找了一些AEAS真题中出现的词汇“participate、uniform、venue、commencement、pursue、applause、relief teacher、choir、common room”,可发现其中一些词汇已超出中小学课程标准。根据AEAS培训经验,优朗建议中学考生的词汇量储备在4000到5000词左右(介于大学英语四级至英语专业四级水平),才能更好地应对英语测试。
其次是AEAS英语阅读理解题,该实体所选文章难度类似雅思考试,要在规定时间内完成答题要求,考生必须做到——快速阅读全文、读懂题意并定位原文、排除答案陷阱、选出正确选项。据粗略估算,平均每道阅读题只有一分钟的答题时间。紧迫的时间压力是考生最大的挑战。第三部分是AEAS听力考试,难点在于“听力顺序与答题顺序不一致”,有时候文章开头播放的内容,在第5、6题才考,对考生的短时记忆以及掌握文本大意的能力提出较高的要求。此外,AEAS听力考试还会考察细节问题,甚至是一个人名、地名,或者材料中的某一个单词,十分考验学生的注意力集中程度,对听记准确度要求过高。对于报考低年级组的学生来讲,稍不留神就会错过几道细节题。
最后的口语与写作部分,重点考察学生的综合能力,对学生的逻辑思维提出更高要求:当他们面对比较抽象或有深度的话题时,会从哪些角度进行剖析?考官不仅会从口语发音或单词语法角度评分,更会评析考生构建的答题框架是否条理清晰,完整表达了自己的观点。
