1.& What are ELDA/COPE and
ENGLISH LANGUAGE DIAGNOSIS & ASSESSMENT
(ELDA) is the name of a group of ESL experts who develop and administer English
Proficiency tests. The results of these tests are currently
accepted by the University of Toronto for graduate and undergraduate admission
consideration.& Transcripts can be sent to other institutions on
is the format of each test?
What is the format of each
ELDA/COPE tests three areas
of language proficiency: Reading (90 minutes), Writing (35 minutes) and
Listening (75 minutes).
Reading: Reading Text 1
(fact-based) of approximately 850 words followed by a comprehension free
response question worth 10 marks and multiple choice questions worth 10 marks.
There is also Reading Text 2 in which words have been deleted. Students must
choose or add the missing words. This part is worth 15 marks. Reading Text 3
(opinion based) of approximately 450 words where students must state the main
idea and supporting arguments in a brief summary. This is worth 10 marks.
The Writing Test follows, a 35 minute essay based on a topic related to the ideas in Reading
Text 3. The essay is written after the summary has been collected. It is scored
out of 60.
Listening: the first module
involves a series of short monologues and dialogues followed by multiple choice
or fill in the blank questions. This is designed to test the student誷
understanding of informal communication in an academic setting. This is worth
15 marks. This is followed by a fact-based lecture in which comprehension
questions are inserted. This is worth 30 marks.
We have no preparation
materials or courses.
2b.& The ELDA Test
of Oral Proficiency (TOP) consists of a 15-20 minute interview
which is analyzed by two ESL experts. The TOP takes place
after the COPE test has finished.
3.& How do I prepare for the tests?
The best way to prepare for the COPE test is
to take an ESL course (particularly one that includes writing and grammar) to
improve your overall proficiency. You may find courses which
combine reading and writing or speaking and listening.
If you live in a situation where you use your
native language most of the time, it is very important to seek out other
situations where you can practice the English language in a real environment.
Read real materials in English (newspapers,
school textbooks, magazines etc.) rather than ESL textbooks but buy a good ESL
grammar book to use for yourself. You may find some in the ESL section of the U
of T bookstore.
Listen to radio broadcasts, TV documentaries
etc. (particularly programs in which the speaker is not seen). Take notes.
Ask friends and colleagues to correct your
speaking errors which cause miscommunication: normally they will not do this in
case they offend you but explain how important it is to you.
Do not depend on friends and relatives to
monitor your written work. Unless they are trained ESL teachers, they can only
tell you what you have done wrong but only a trained person can explain how to
correct the mistake on a systematic basis.

Question? e-mail us atBefore a new airliner goes into service,every part of it is tested again and again.But there are two tests that are more important than all the others.In the first test,a modern airliner must fly at very high altitudes.Air must be pumped into the place so that the passengers can breathe.The metal structure of the plane has to be very strong for this reason.When the plane is filled with air,the air presses against the skin of the plane inside.The pressure on a small window,for example,is like a huge foot that is trying to get out.If a small part of the plane were to crack （爆裂）,the plane would explode in the sky.In order to test the structure of the plane,it is lowered into a huge tank of water .Then it is filled with air.The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is in the air.Finally,there is an explosion.Engineers can discover which part of the plane has cracked.This part is made stronger.　　The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flight in the air.The test pilot must find exactly what happens when all the engines are shut off at once.He takes the plane up very high.Then he shuts the engines off,the plane begins to fall like a stone.it is the pilot’s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again.These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.56．The purpose of the “tank test” is to find out_______A.How much air passengers need to breathe at certain altitudes.B.How much air can be pumped into the plane.C.What would happen if the plane crashed in the water.D.if there are any weak parts in the plane that would burst under pressure57.Why must air be pumped into the plane?　　A.Because without air the plane can’t fly.　　B.Because the plane needs air for its refueling.　　C.Because the passengers’ lives depend on air.　D.Because the passengers have paid for it.58．What would happen if a small part of the plane was cracked?　　A.The plane would not go forward.　　B.The plane would explode.　　C.The plane would fall down.　　D.The plane would fly slowly.59．For what purpose does the pilot shut off all the engines?A.To find out exactly what happens.　　B.To save fuel.C.To fly even more slowly D.To keep balance （平衡）60.The passage implies that modern airlines are ________ A.reliable B.plicated D.efficientV.Translate the following sentences into Chinese.(10%)

AnnealingAnnealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly, if metal is heated and then cooled very quickly, for example by dipping(浸) it in water, it will be very hard but also very brittle(脆)—that is, it will break easily. Metal that has been annealed is soft but does not breaks as easily. It is possible to make metal as hard or as soft as is wished, by annealing it. The metal is heated, and allowed to cool slowly for a certain length of time. The longer the heated metal takes to cool slowly, the softer it becomes. Annealing can also be used on other material, such as glass.1. Annealing can make metal ____　　A. hard and tough(韧)　B. hard but brittle　　C. soft but tough　　D. soft and brittle2. Why do people put hot metal in water?　　A. To make it hard.　　B. To make it soft.　C. To make it cool.　D. To make it brittle3. In annealing, the required hardness of a metal depends on 　______　　A. the quantity of water used　B. the temperature of the metal　　C. the softness of the metal　& D. the timing of the operation4. As suggested by the text, how can glass be made less brittle?　　A. It can be heated and then cooled quickly.　　B. It can be cooled and then heated slowly.　　C. It can be heated and then cooled slowly.D. It can be cooled and then heated quickly.

Six Americans are working on a new highway. But this highway won't have any traffic．It's an "ice highway" to the South Pole. The team has just finished a second year of work on the 1,020-mile highway. "The road is the greatest single footprint of activity we've seen in the Antarctic (南极洲)," said Alan Hemmings, an Australian environmentalist.The highway will provide a new way for supplies to be trekked (拉, 搬) across the earth on tractor-pulled sleds (雪橇). This method will use a lot less fuel than an aircraft, the current (当前的) way that scientists and supplies reach the Amundsen-Scott Base, a U.S. research station in the South Pole. The highway will also allow for equipment that is too big for planes to carry to be brought to Antarctica．Even with these benefits, there is one disadvantage—a round trip on the road will be 30 days, compared to a few hours by plane. Making this 20-foot-wide road isn't easy, and it takes a lot of time. The crew (工作队) has been working on the road for two summers, when it's warmer and easier to work with the ice. It probably won't be completed until 2006. Crevasses (裂缝), or cracks, in the land often make the construction difficult. Crevasses are kind of like pot holes that form when surface ice is stretched．This can be very dangerous, especially when the crevasses are hidden under a layer (层) of snow and can't be seen. "Last year it took us three months to go three miles across a crevasse field, full of dangerous, hidden crevasses," said the project's manager, John Wright. Each year, more crevasses appear and they have to be filled with snow and ice so the road is safe for travel. The road will also be lined with green flags so travelers know where the safe surface is.小题1: It will probably take ______ years to complete the ice highway.A．2B．4 C．6 D．8小题2:When it is finished, the highway will not be used for ______.A．giving supplies to the research station in the South PoleB．taking scientists to the South PoleC．taking travelers to a tour of AntarcticD．bringing huge equipment to Antarctic小题3:How many miles can be covered at most each day if you take the ice highway to the South Pole?A．30.B．34.C．68.D．88.小题4:Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Other crevasses won’t appear if a crevasse has been filled.B．Many new crevasses will form after a crevasse has been filled.C．Travelers can drive their sleds on the ice highway freely.D．There will be less danger if the crevasses are covered by snow.

The four-pound, battery-op&erated product is called the Voice, and it is the invention of Advanced Products and Technologies, an American electronics company. When the Voice is introduced in the Unite States in late April — at a price of (1,500 — it will be used to trans&late spoken English into Italian, German, French and Span&ish. The product comes with separate cartridges(盒式存储器) for each of the four languages, which can be changed when the user travels from one country to another. It will be sold in Eu&rope soon after the US introduction, with cartridges that trans&late Italian, German, French and Spanish into English.The Voice uses a microchip(微型集成电路片) to trans&late languages. It is Started by voice command and produces voice output through a built-in speaker. When the user makes a statement or asks a question, the Voice immediately repeats what has been said in another language.1.

It's interesting that the arrival of snow has effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others a catastrophe(灾害) or even a wonder.?But there are countries between these two kinds that normally expect snow some time over-the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one of them, for which the arrival of snow quite simply causes problems. Within hours of the first snowfalls, however light, trains and buses have to stop in the middle of the way. Normal communication is affected as well: telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. And almost within hours, there are also certain shortages—bread, vegetables and other things—not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened and go out and store up with food and so on just for fear that something bad should happen.?But why does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, the Austrians and the Canadians don't have such problems. It is simple because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow-ploughs(扫雪机) and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snow-ploughs is that they are used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospital, education, helping the old.?小题1:According to the writer, Britain is a country _______.?A．which has regular snowB．which is not well prepared for snow?C．for which snow is a catastropheD．for which snow is a wonder?小题2:After a few hours' snowing there are often some shortages of food because _______.?A．shops have closed downB．people buy as much as they can?C．farmers cannot produce any moreD．people eat more vegetables in winter?小题3:The words “two kinds” in the passage mean the countries _______.?A．which have weather as yearly happening to celebrate or as rare (少见) weather?B．which either have heavy snow or light snow?C．to which snow either causes problems or no problems?D．which either have snow-ploughs or no snow-ploughs

Life in 2060　　Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let’s make believe (假装；虚构) it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.　　Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment (娱乐) of young and old.　　What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.　　Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.　　Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.　　People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animal decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.　　Such would be our life in 2060.　　1. When was the passage written?　　A. In about A.D. 2060.　　B. In about 1960.　　C. In about 2000.　　D. In about 2004.2.

When I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother, and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high-speed Internet connection. It was pretty cool.Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send e-mail that gets ready to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown(小丑). The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www. .Facemail faces are lifelike, and they simulate(模拟) emotions based on emotions that you put in your text. For example, type in-X, and Rachel blows a kiss.LifeFX, the company that develops the Facemail, is sure there are broad business uses. The reason e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? And it is talking with Whirl(惠而浦公司) about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Morn can't be home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.Facemail could get hot fast. Personally, I'm a fan. But Facemail should be used with care. The clown looks lively and funny at first. But if you select the clown, put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions, you've got a Psycho-mail(疯人型电子邮件).小题1:The pretty woman that appears on the writer's computer screen was ______. A. a woman working on the Internet&&&&& B. his brother's girlfriend C not a real person&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D. the picture of his pen-friend小题2: The main advantage of Facemail is that ______.A．you can hire a beautiful woman to read the e-mail to youB．you can see the person who sends you the e-mailC．yon can send an e-mail free of chargeD．e-mail can be attractive in a more lovely way小题3:The writer mentioned Nike website and Michael Jordan to show that _______.A．Famous people like Michael Jordan also like to use FacemailB．Facemail can make shopping on the Internet more interestingC．Nike website will increase its sales by JordanD．Michael Jordan will serve you himself on Nike website小题4:What is the writer's attitude towards Facemail?A．He thinks it needs further improvement.B．He thinks it cool and funny.C．He thinks it a danger to the Internet.D．He thinks people should be careful with Facemail.}
