shang海对外贸易学院创办于1960年，是华东地区唯一的一所对外经济贸易类大学，学校具有从事国际商务高等教育的悠久历史、鲜明特色和传统优势，其“国际经济与贸易应用型专门人才培养模式”是国家级质量工程建设项目，国际经济与贸易、英语（商务英语方向）等专业是上海市本科教育高地建设项目。近五十年来，学校为国家培养了大批优秀的国际商务专业人才。在麦可思“2008中国应届大学毕业生就业年度报告”中，上海对外贸易学院学生的综合就业能力在全国2113所高等院校中名列第四。上海对外贸易学院于1985年成为上海市高等教育自学考试的主考学校，目前主考专业有国际贸易(专科)、国际贸易(独立本科)和商务英语(独立本科)。24年来，其主考专业始终保持着旺盛的活力、经久不衰，年报考课程长期保持在4万科次左右。其主考专业的特点是：1、专业优势突出。主考专业始终依托学校自身优势，充分发挥学校国际贸易和商务英语的学科强项，专业不多考生多，多年来每年平均每个专业报考人数一般都是上海市该年平均每个专业报考人数的2.1倍左右。2、注重有特色的学科建设。学校根据自学考试特点进行学科建设，率先改革并减少加考课程；率先为自学考试编写适合自学的专用商务英语专业系列教材；独创用国际贸易模拟实习（TMT）和上海市国际商务英语等级考试（BET)（中级）替代相应专业的毕业论文和论文答辩，是上海市唯一用实践性综合考核替代毕业论文和论文答辩主考院校。3、专业符合社会需求。主考专业的毕业生普遍得到了社会的认可，以国际贸易专业（独立本科）为例，随机抽样两届毕业生，就业分布状况如下：外贸公司占21.56％、三资企业占26.95％、其它企业占24.55％、金融服务机构占7.18％、事业单位国家机关占3.00％、其它占16.77％（出国、考研、重新就业等），其中不少毕业生在中化国际、上海航空、西门子、爱普生、中国银行等著名公司就职。伴随着世界经济全球化程度的日益加快，上海国际经济中心、国际贸易中心、国际金融中心、国际航运中心地位的日益形成，对于有志于进入国际贸易和商务英语领域但又缺少相应专业知识背景的人士，报考上海对外贸易学院主考专业不失为一个正确的选择。自考专业列表国际贸易（专科） 国际贸易（独立本科） 商务英语（独立本科）学校地址：上海对外贸易学院古北路620号邮编：200336联系电话：52067221网址：商务英语（独立本科B050218）作者 未知 添加日期 2009-6-9 9:02:47本专业由上海对外贸易学院主考，是面向社会开考专业。本专业为独立本科段学历层次。专业基本要求：要求具有坚实的英语语言基础和熟练的听、说、读、写、译等能力，熟悉和掌握国际贸易的基本理论、基础知识和基本技能；了解国际惯例及我国对外经济贸易的方针政策及法规；对国际商务的不同职业有较强的适应能力。说 明1、以上海市国际商务英语等级考试（BET）（中级）代替毕业论文。2、凡已获本科学历者或商务英语、英语专业专科毕业生可直接报考本专业，无需加考课程。3、其他专业专科毕业生报考本专业须加考综合英语（二）（代码00795）。序号 课程代码 课程名称 教材名称 学分 备注1 03709 马克思主义基本原理概论 马克思主义基本原理概论 42 03708 中国近现代史纲要 中国近现代史纲要 23 00051 管理系统中计算机应用 管理系统中计算机应用 4 含上机考核（00052）1学分4 00087 英语翻译 英汉翻译教程 65 00097 外贸英语写作 外贸英语写作 86 00186 国际商务谈判 国际商务谈判 57 00840 第二外语（日语） 新编日语(1) 新编日语(2) 6 任选一门00841 第二外语（法语） 公共法语（上册） 公共法语（下册） 68 05159 WTO基础知识 WTO英文选读 69 05957 进出口英语函电 新编进出口英语函电 810 05958 外贸英语会话 新编外贸英语会话考试大纲课后练习参考答案及课文参考译文 4 实践课程11 05959 外经贸应用文 英语外经贸应用文 412 05960 商务英语口译 商务英语口译教程 8 实践课程13 00058 市场营销学 市场营销学 5 序号1－12为必考课程，序号13－16为选考课程14 00090 国际贸易实务（一） 国际贸易实务 615 05439 商务英语阅读 新世纪商务英语阅读（上） 新世纪商务英语阅读（下） 416 05961 会展英语 会展英语考试大纲课后练习参考答案及课文参考译文 2毕业考核：上海市国际商务英语等级考试（BET）（中级） 不计学分1 00795 综合英语（二） 综合英语（二）上册 综合英语（二）下册 加考课程，不计学分合计 75及以上11号，课程代码05959，外经贸应用文，《英语外经贸应用文》，上海外贸学院，本院教材。12号，课程代码05960，商务英语口译，《商务英语口译教程》，朱佩芬 倪咏梅，中国商务。2009年10月上海自学考试日程安排表10月31日（星期六） 11月1日（星期日） 10月24日（星期六） 10月25日（星期日）08:30开始 14:00开始 08:30开始 14:00开始 08:30开始 14:00开始 08:30开始 14:00开始(03708)中国近现代史纲要 (03709)马克思主义基本原理概论 (05961)会展英语(市) (00186)国际商务谈判 (00795)综合英语(二)(J) (00090)国际贸易实务(一)(00051)管理系统中计算机应用 (00840)第二外语(日语)(市)2009年4月上海自学考试日程安排表4月11日（星期六） 4月12日（星期日） 4月18日（星期六） 4月19日（星期日）08:30开始 14:00开始 08:30开始 14:00开始 08:30开始 14:00开始 08:30开始 14:00开始*(3708)中国近现代史纲要 *(3709)马克思主义基本原理概论 (5959)外经贸应用文 (5159)WTO基础知识 *(0058)市场营销学 (0841)第二外语（法语） (5957)进出口英语函电 *(0795)综合英语（二）（J）*(0051)管理系统中计算机应用 (5439)商务英语阅读*(0087)英语翻译*(0097)外贸英语写作

Her father works with computers and her mother teaches dance. Chloë began playing the violin when she was two. Her parents bought her a special violin which was small enough for her to use, and, even at this age, she could play without help. Her sister Virginia, who was nineteen at the time, played the piano and after Chloë heard her play something, she tried to play it on her violin. From the age of four, she played at a number of concerts in Britain and America and in 1999 she was a child violinist in the Hollywood film Onegin.Many teachers offered to give Chloë lessons but when she was seven she met Professor Zakhar Bron. She was certain from the beginning that he was the right teacher for her. His work takes him around the world and each year Chloë flies thousands of kilometres to get to his classes.Chloë was only fourteen when she made her first CD, but she says she is just like any other teenager. ‘I have lots of friends and I love pop music. Getting better on the violin is important, but I also make sure I have time for other things.’Example: 0 Chloë’s mother gives dance classes.A Right B Wrong C Doesn’t say Answer:29 Chloë’s first violin was the same size as other violins. A Right B Wrong C Doesn’t say30 To start with, Chloë practised the same music as her sister. A Right B Wrong C Doesn’t say31 Chloë prefers playing concerts in America to playing in Britain.
