经济学内容包括:经济学基础、价格体系及公司理论、价格体系的政府干预行为、国际贸易、宏观经济学基础、宏观经济学问题、宏观经济学政策。考试以笔试为主,题型有多项选择、数据分析、结构化问题、小论文等。经济学即使对英国学生来说也是感觉最难的几门A-Level课程之一,但是,事实上,只要学习方法得当,而且掌握合适的应试方法,经济学拿A其实也并不是难事。毕竟,经济学A的标准甚至都不需达到80分,而经济学的知识点也就只有那么一些。作为资深的A-Level经济学教师,多年的一线教学经验让我发现可以用来考论述题的大知识点其实更是寥寥无几,所以,学生可能的对经济学的恐惧完全大可不必,放心选择。其实,学好经济学后的一个“正的外部性”(Positive Externality)是学生可以迅速地提高英语,因为经济学的阅读量较大,而且大量论述题的练习写作对雅思这些必备的考试都有明显的基础性提高。关于A-level 真题: 1. (June, 2012v3)(b) Discuss whether a period of inflation or a period of deflation is more economically desirable.[12]Solution:1) 答题思路:题目分成三部分答写:先写inflation与deflation的定义;再分别写inflation与deflation的consequence;最后写自己的观点觉得哪个是more economically desirable并写原因。2) 得分点:• For knowledge and understanding of ‘inflation’ and ‘deflation’. 2 marks• For an analysis of the effects of inflation and deflation. Up to 8 marks (Only inflation or deflation considered 6 max)• For an evaluative comment on the relative desirability of inflation and deflation.2 marks 3) 真题答案:Inflation is a sustained rise in the general price level. Deflation is a sustained fall in the general price level or a reduction in aggregate economic activity. Inflation has effects on international competitiveness, shoe leather and menu costs, the distribution of income, the ability to plan and the level of confidence. Deflation is linked to rising unemployment, falling economic growth, lower living standards, changing international competitiveness, changing distribution of income(differently to inflation) and loss of confidence. There is some overlap between the effects, and the effects may depend upon the rate of change. Mild inflation is often thought to be desirable. Governments may favour inflation as it reduces the real value of debt and increase income though higher tax revenue. The desirability will depend on the standpoint adopted.如果遇到ALeve考试相关问题可以私信提问,有专业的课程辅导老师来解答。并且考而思教育拥有丰富的考试真题,资料。方便大家了解更多考试内容。
