1、总体：EAP 英语测试从发过去申请邮件之后我觉得就要经常刷邮件看有无回复了，因为一旦对方回复 同意，就会要求你最好 24 小时之内搞定并回复空白邮件给他们（我不知道拖延是否影响，但 个人觉得既然他们要求这样，最好还是按要求吧）。新版的 EAP 是个 online 测试，由于广大 前辈的努力，我们现在可以完全轻轻松松的在测试之前就把这个测试题的一大半完成并修改。 。然后 copy 过去。（这个就看个人的想法了）。阅读：在群里的文件里面已经有人把阅读贴了出来（我也把这个文章附在了这个总结的最后面），完 全一样，写一个 summary，此题可以提前搞定。听力：9 分钟左右的听力，是一个关于剑桥以及大
2、学发展教育的历史，一个老头讲的，课堂录音，发 音清晰，语速极慢。总体来说不难，但是有些东西我个人觉得需要注意一下。首先是 9 分钟的听力，内容极多，但是 summary 只让写 200-250 词（或者是 150-200，记不清 了）。就是说，听力的内容远远多于 summary 的内容，所以要大大精简，不必每个细节都纠 结。然后就是听力里面会有一些词，可能不是每个人都熟悉，例如他会讲之前的大学教育是被宗教 管辖的，有些东西在修道院（monastery）进行，相关词汇比较生僻，可以稍微提前注意一下。总体来说，听力应该是实际考试中最应该下功夫的地方，因为这个提前没法搞定。写作：三道题，没什么说的1
3、.Explain as if writing for an educated but non-expert audience the nature of your postgraduate course and describe what your intentions are on the completion of it. You should aim to write between 250-300 words. 2.Give an honest self-assessment of your academic English abilities in all skill areas.
4、You should aim to write between 150-200 words.第三题是个改写句子的，比较简单，也很短，几乎不费时间。口语：每人时间不等，但是一般不会超过 10 分钟（她前后还会说明一些东西，所以实际时间也就六 七分钟，我的前后一共才 5:32 秒）。语速较快（其实说实话，老外说话就是这速度。）。 但是发音清晰，可以选择电话或者 skype。人很和善，所以大家不用紧张。面试我的是 Dr Karen Ottewell，好像很多人都是她如果用 skype 的话会提前加你（我的提前了一个半小时），打电话之前会发信息问你是否准备 好了。个人推荐提前准备，要不然真的会紧张。可
5、以读，但是一定不能太假。准备内容的话我认 为以下几个问题足够（我总结了一下前辈的机经，以及自己的）：1.介绍一下你的课程（如果是 phd 的话，第一个问题肯定是 I have heard you .专业，让 你说说 nature of your research）。以及你对这个课程（或专业，或领域）的看法（这 个问题貌似前辈们没遇到过，她让我谈谈对我这个 field 的看法），顺便准备一下自己 的学习目标啊，学习计划啊，或者研究的应用等等，不用太长，一个问题估计也就一 分钟 2.Why Cambridge? why your course? （感觉 master 问的可能性大些，我是 phd，
6、没问我 这个）your career plan？ 3.如果你在国外读的 master 或者本科，会问你在国外的生活情况，如果是国内的本科或 者 master，会问你是否有过去 english-speaking 的国家（貌似也有可能问是否去过剑桥， 英国，美国），就是问你说英语的经历。 4.这几个的可能性不大，但还是准备下吧，你现在学的什么（或者 your current research, why are you interested in, when did you first contact your current research）。还有就是如 果你已提交你的英语成绩（托福雅思等），但
7、是有一门很弱（一般是口语），她可能 会让你解释一下为什么这一门弱。总体就是这些吧，都不用准备多。最后祝大家都能通过 EAP！附阅读材料阅读Incorporating the views and ideas expressed in the two short article extracts as well as your own ideas, write a short response in appropriate academic style on the following statement: Critical thinking is the cornerstone transfer
8、able skill for all aspects of postgraduate study. You should aim to write between 250-300 words.TEXT 1Alex Fischer, Critical Thinking. An Introduction (CUP: Cambridge, 2001)What is critical thinking and how to improve itIn recent year critical thinking has become something of a buzz word in educatio
9、nal circles. For many reasons, educators have become very interested in teaching thinking skills of various kinds in contrast with teaching information and content. Of course, you can do both, but in the past the emphasis in most peoples teaching has been on teaching content history, physics, geogra
10、phy or whatever and, though many teachers would claim to teach their students how to think, most would say that they do this indirectly or implicitly in the course of teaching the content which belongs to their special subject. Increasingly, educators have come to doubt the effectiveness of teaching
11、 thinking skills in this way, because most students simply do not pick up the thinking skills in question. The result is that many teachers have become interested in teaching these skills directly. This is what this text aims to do. It teaches a range of transferable thinking skills, but it does so
12、explicitly anddirectly. The skills in question are critical thinking skills (sometimes called critic-creative thinking skills), and they will be taught in a way that expressly aims to facilitate their transfer to other subjects and other contexts. If you learn, for example, how to structure an argum
13、ent, judge the credibility of a source or make a decision, by the methods we shall explain in a few contexts, it will not be difficult to see how to do these things in many other contexts too; this is the sense in which the skills are transferable. (p.1) .Michael Scriven has recently argued that cri
14、tical thinking is an academic competency akin to reading and writing and is of similarly fundamental importance. He defines it thus:Critical thinking is skilled and active interpretation and evaluation of observations and communications, information and argumentation. (Fisher and Scriven, 1997, p.21
15、)It is worth unpacking Scrivens definition a little. He defines critical thinking as a skilled activity. He points out that thinking does not count as critical merely because it is intended to be, any more than thinking counts as scientific simply because it aims to be. To be critical, thinking has
16、to meet certain standards of clarity, relevance, reasonableness, etc. and one may bemore or less skilled at this. He defines critical thinking as an active process, partly because it involves questioning and partly because of the role played by metacognition thinking about your own thinking. He includes interpretation (of texts, speech, film, graphics, actions and even body language) because like explanations, interpretati
