剑桥国际 A-Level 法语(9716)课程培养精深的语言能力与文化理解。本文梳理了每位考生必须掌握的核心领域,以在阅读与写作、议论文、口语考试和听力四大板块中取得佳绩。扎实掌握这些要点并结合持续练习,能帮助你在考试日建立起所需的准确性与信心。
1. Exam Structure at a Glance | 考试结构一览
The AS qualification is based on Paper 1 (Reading and Writing, 1h30) and Paper 2 (Writing, 1h30), each contributing 50% of the AS marks. Paper 1 tests comprehension, summary, and grammar in context, while Paper 2 requires one discursive essay from a choice of five titles, assessing your ability to build a structured argument.
AS 阶段的成绩取决于试卷一(阅读与写作,1 小时 30 分钟)和试卷二(写作,1 小时 30 分钟),各占 50%。试卷一考查阅读理解、摘要写作和语境中的语法,试卷二要求从五个题目中选择一个撰写议论文,评估你构建结构化论证的能力。
For the full A-Level, you also sit Paper 3 (Speaking, about 15–20 minutes) and Paper 4 (Listening, around 1 hour). The weighting then becomes 25% per paper. Speaking involves a topic presentation and a general conversation; listening tests understanding of authentic audio through questions in English and French.
要获得完整 A-Level,还需参加试卷三(口语,约 15–20 分钟)和试卷四(听力,约 1 小时),此时每份试卷各占 25%。口语包括主题陈述和一般性对话;听力通过英文与法文题目来检测你对真实音频的理解。
2. Verb Tenses and Moods | 动词时态与语式
The present tense is your baseline for describing habits, facts, and near-future plans. Make sure you can conjugate regular -er, -ir, -re verbs, plus key irregulars such as être, avoir, aller, faire, pouvoir, vouloir, and devoir without hesitation.
现在时是描述习惯、事实和近期计划的基础。务必熟练变位规则 -er、-ir、-re 动词以及关键的与格动词,如 être、avoir、aller、faire、pouvoir、vouloir 和 devoir。
The perfect tense (passé composé) expresses completed past actions. It is formed with the present of avoir or être + past participle. Agreement with the subject is required when être is the auxiliary (e.g., elles sont parties). In compound tenses with avoir, the past participle agrees with a preceding direct object (les robes que j’ai achetées).
复合过去时(passé composé)表示已完成的动作,由 avoir 或 être 的现在时加过去分词构成。当助动词为 être 时,过去分词须与主语的性数配合(如 elles sont parties);使用 avoir 时,若直接宾语前置,过去分词也须配合(les robes que j’ai achetées)。
The imperfect (imparfait) paints background scenes, habitual past actions, and mental states. The contrast with the perfect tense is vital: imparfait describes what was happening, and passé composé tells what happened. For example, 'Je lisais quand il est entré' (I was reading when he entered).
未完成过去时(imparfait)用于描绘背景、过去的习惯和状态。它与复合过去时的对比至关重要:imparfait 描述当时正在进行的情景,passé composé 表示发生的具体事件。例如,'Je lisais quand il est entré'(他进来时我正在阅读)。
The pluperfect (plus-que-parfait) allows you to sequence events further back: 'J’avais déjà mangé quand tu m’as invité.' It is formed with the imperfect of avoir/être + past participle.
愈过去时(plus-que-parfait)使事件顺序更加清晰:'J’avais déjà mangé quand tu m’as invité.'(你邀请我时我已经吃过了)。由助动词的未完成过去时加过去分词构成。
Future and conditional forms enable sophisticated expression. The simple future (je parlerai) is needed after temporal conjunctions when the main clause is future: 'Quand j’aurai 18 ans, je voyagerai.' The conditional (je parlerais) handles hypotheses and polite requests. The past conditional (j’aurais parlé) conveys regret or unfulfilled possibilities.
将来时和条件式使表达更高级。在时间连词引导的从句中,若主句为将来,从句用简单将来时:'Quand j’aurai 18 ans, je voyagerai.' 条件式(je parlerais)用于假设和礼貌请求。过去条件式(j’aurais parlé)传达遗憾或未实现的可能性。
The subjunctive mood appears after expressions of necessity (il faut que), desire, doubt, emotion, and conjunctions like bien que, pour que, à moins que. You only need the present subjunctive at A-Level; form it from the ils/elles stem of the present tense with endings -e, -es, -e, -ions, -iez, -ent.
虚拟式(subjonctif)用于表达必要性(il faut que)、愿望、怀疑、情感以及连词如 bien que、pour que、à moins que 之后。A-Level 阶段只需掌握现在虚拟式;其形式来自现在时第三人称复数词干加词尾 -e、-es、-e、-ions、-iez、-ent。
e stems must be memorised: aller → aille, faire → fasse, pouvoir → puisse, savoir → sache, être → sois, avoir → aie. Practise them so they become automatic in essays and orals.
不规则虚拟式词干必须熟记:aller → aille、faire → fasse、pouvoir → puisse、savoir → sache、être → sois、avoir → aie。多加练习,使其在写作和口语中能脱口而出。
3. Pronouns and Relative Clauses | 代词与关系从句
Personal pronouns are the scaffolding of fluent French. Direct object pronouns (me, te, le, la, nous, vous, les) and indirect object pronouns (me, te, lui, nous, vous, leur) must be placed before the verb (or before the auxiliary in compound tenses). The adverbial pronouns y (replacing à + thing/place) and en (replacing de + noun) follow the same placement rules.
人称代词是流利法语的骨架。直接宾语代词(me, te, le, la, nous, vous, les)和间接宾语代词(me, te, lui, nous, vous, leur)必须置于动词前(复合时态中置于助动词前)。副代词 y(替代 à + 事物/地点)和 en(替代 de + 名词)遵循相同的放置规则。
fore the verb. In positive imperatives, the pronouns follow the verb with hyphens, and me/te become moi/toi.
当多个代词同时出现时,固定顺序为 me/te/se/nous/vous → le/la/les → lui/leur → y → en,全部置于动词之前。肯定命令式中代词置于动词后并用连字符连接,且 me/te 变为 moi/toi。
Disjunctive (stressed) pronouns (moi, toi, lui, elle, nous, vous, eux, elles) are used after prepositions, for emphasis, after c’est, and in comparisons: 'Il est plus grand que moi.'
重读人称代词(moi, toi, lui, elle, nous, vous, eux, elles)用于介词后、表示强调、在 c’est 后以及比较句中:'Il est plus grand que moi.'
Relative pronouns link ideas smoothly. Qui is the subject relative, que is the direct object relative. Dont replaces de + a preceding noun, as in 'le livre dont je parle.' Lequel and its variants are used after prepositions, agreeing with the noun they refer to: 'la table sur laquelle j’ai posé mon sac.'
关系代词使语篇衔接流畅。qui 作主语,que 作直接宾语。dont 替代 de + 先行词,如 'le livre dont je parle'。lequel及其变体用于介词后,性数与先行词一致:'la table sur laquelle j’ai posé mon sac.'
4. Agreement, Articles, and Adjectives | 配合、冠词与形容词
egulars: beau → belle, vieux → vieille, sportif → sportive. Adjectives normally follow the noun, except common BAGS adjectives (beauty, age, goodness, size) which precede: une belle maison, un petit garçon.
每个冠词、形容词和过去分词都必须进行性数配合。规则形式中阴性加 -e,复数加 -s。注意不规则形式:beau → belle、vieux → vieille、sportif → sportive。形容词通常置于名词后,但常见的 BAGS 类形容词(美、龄、好、尺寸)前置:une belle maison, un petit garçon。
The partitive article (du, de la, de l’, des) expresses an indefinite quantity. After a negative or expressions of quantity (beaucoup de, un peu de), it reduces to de/d’: ‘Je n’ai pas de lait.’
部分冠词(du, de la, de l’, des)表示不定数量。在否定句中或在数量表达(beaucoup de, un peu de)后,部分冠词简化为 de/d’:'Je n’ai pas de lait.'
tive. Irregular forms must be highlighted: bon → meilleur, bien → mieux, mauvais → pire (or plus mauvais).
比较级与最高级遵循清晰的模式:plus/moins/aussi + 形容词 + que。最高级用 le/la/les plus/moins + 形容词。需牢记不规则形式:bon → meilleur、bien → mieux、mauvais → pire(或 plus mauvais)。
5. Prepositions and Verb + Infinitive Constructions | 介词与动词+不定式结构
Mastering prepositions makes your expression more natural. Some verbs regularly pair with à (commencer à, réussir à, aider à) or de (décider de, arrêter de, avoir peur de). When a verb is followed by an infinitive, the choice of preposition can change meaning: 'Je viens de finir' (I have just finished) vs 'Je viens à pied' (I come on foot).
掌握介词能让表达更自然。有些动词固定搭配 à(commencer à, réussir à, aider à)或 de(décider de, arrêter de, avoir peur de)。当动词后接不定式时,介词的选用可能改变意义:'Je viens de finir'(我刚完成)对比 'Je viens à pied'(我步行来)。
When an infinitive follows a preposition such as avant de, pour, sans, au lieu de, always use the infinitive form. The past infinitive (après avoir
