简介：　　 托业(TOEIC)考试的全称为“国际交流英语考试”(Test Of English for International Communication)。托业考试的发起者是 美国的教育测试中心(Educational Testing Service-ETS)。ETS因 组织各种学术标准化测试而闻名全球，如众所周知的托福和GRE考 试等。托业考试主要用于测试非英语母语者在国际环境中对日常英 语的运用能力，衡量应试者在国际商业、贸易环境中使用英语的熟 练程度，而非侧重于学术环境中英语能力的测试考试。在历经二十 余年的品牌锤炼后，该考试已被视为国际标准语言水平测试之一， 因此又有“商业托福”之称。在以职场为基准点的英语能力测验中， 托业是世界上最权威的考试之一，全球已有五十多个国家的超过 4000家国际企业接受该标准，近年来应试者超过200万人次。

简介：This edition is written in English. However, there is a running Chinese Simplified thesaurus at the bottom of each page for the more difficult English words highlighted in the text. There are many editions of Princess Polly's Playmates. This edition would be useful if you would like to enrich your Chinese Simplified-English vocabulary, whether for self-improvement or for preparation in advanced of college examinations. Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to "difficult, yet commonly used" English words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Chinese Simplified, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English without using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. This edition is helpful to Chinese Simplified-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL? or TOEIC? preparation program. Students who are actively building their vocabularies in Chinese Simplified or English may also find this useful for Advanced Placement? (AP?) tests. TOEFL?, TOEIC?, AP? and Advanced Placement? are trademarks of the Educational Testing Service which has neither reviewed nor endorsed this book. This book is one of a series of Webster's paperbacks that allows the reader to obtain more value from the experience of reading. Translations are from Webster's Online Dictionary, derived from a meta-analysis of public sources, cited on the site.

简介：Studying Human Populations is a textbook for graduate students and research workers in social statistics and related subject areas. It follows a novel curriculum developed around the basic statistical activities of sampling, measurement and inference. Statistics is defined broadly as making decisions in the presence of uncertainty that arises as a consequence of limited resources available for collecting information. A connecting link of the presented methods is the perspective of missing information, catering for a diverse class of problems that include nonresponse, imperfect measurement and causal inference. In principle, any problem too complex for our limited analytical toolkit could be converted to a tractable problem if some additional information were available. Ingenuity is called for in declaring such (missing) information constructively, but the universe of problems that we can address is wide open, not limited by a discrete set of procedures. The monograph aims to prepare the reader for the career of an independent social statistician and to serve as a reference for methods, ideas for and ways of studying human populations: formulation of the inferential goals, design of studies, search for the sources of relevant information, analysis and presentation of results. Elementary linear algebra and calculus are prerequisites, although the exposition is quite forgiving, especially in the first few chapters. Familiarity with statistical software at the outset is an advantage, but it can be developed concurrently with studying the text. Nicholas T. Longford directs the statistical research and consulting company SNTL in Reading, England. He had held senior research posts at the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, NJ, and De Montfort University, Leicester, England. He was awarded the first Campion Fellowship by the Royal Statistical Society (2000-2002). He is a member of the editorial boards of the British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical PsychologyB and of Survey Research Methods, and a former Associate Editor of the Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, Journal of Multivariate Analysis and Journals of the Royal Statistical Society Series A and D. He is the author of three other monographs, the latest entitled Missing Data and Small-Area Estimation (Springer, 2005).

简介：Item generation departs from traditional test construction by replacing an unending sequence of empirical questions with mental models. Researchers and practitioners from the Educational Testing Service, various boards of medical and aerospace testing, and universities met in Princeton, New Jersey during November 1998 to share their findings and thoughts about the approach. Their 14 papers and commentary of them discuss the psychometric and cognitive theory of item generation, construct-oriented approaches, moving from theory to implementation, and applications of item-generative principles.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Researchers in intelligence and personality present current thinking on how the relationship between the two may be defined, measured, and understood. They discuss intelligence in relation to temperament and character, intelligence and conation, intelligence and style, and intelligence and personality in context. They look at issues in the definition and measurement of abilities, temperament, and character, the role of interest in motivation and learning, self-concept and status as determinants of cognitive style, and contextual studies of cognitive adaptation. Material originated at a series of 1997 symposia titled the Spearman Seminars. Collis is affiliated with the University of Plymouth; Messick was affiliated with the Educational Testing Service. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)   Publisher Summary 2 This volume brings together leading researchers in a major new effort to bridge the historical gap between the domains of ability and personality. The result is a remarkable collection of chapters analyzing critical issues at the interface--style, structure, process, and context. Contributors address: * intelligence and its relation to temperament and character-hierarchical models of cognition and personality; judgmental data in personality research; and structural issues in ability and personality; * intelligence and conation-goal theories; the role of conation in the learning environment; motivation and arousal; * intelligence and style-stylistic preferences; the role of disposition; cognitive style and its measurement; test taking style; and * intelligence and personality in context-regularities of functioning; contextual effects in cultural variation; control and consistency; the concept of "successful intelligence."   Publisher Summary 3 This volume brings together leading researchers in a major new effort to bridge the historical gap between the domains of ability and personality.
