第一篇：2012年全國大學生英語競賽C類 備考指南

2012年大學生英語競賽C類備考指南

既然參賽了，對這次比賽究竟比什么當然要了若指掌。英語的綜合素質考核是全國大學生英語競賽的特色，聽說讀寫都是必不可少的（說方面體現在復賽中，初賽沒有口語考試）。另外由于此項競賽近幾年等級分類改變了好幾次，而 07 年和 08 年的題量和題型分布都有不同。

下面的分享是賽才網根據 2008 年全國大學生英語競賽 C 類樣題、初賽真題及歷年的考試經驗總結而出，僅供參考。

Part I 聽力

特別注意：聽力內容均是只播放一遍！

Section A 5 段短對話，分別 1 個小問題。

Section B 2 段長對話，分別 5 個小問題。

前兩部分的長短對話難度其實不是很大，主要是盡快讓自己進入狀態，聽力只有一遍，上一題沒聽到，就趕緊猜一個，千萬不要影響后面的題目。

Section C 5 段短新聞，分別 1 個小問題，內容均是摘自 BBC 或 VOA 的新聞。現在只剩下一個月時間，要大家一直對著 BBC 或是 VOA 廣播聽也不是辦法，建議大家上滬江英語學習的 BBC 或 VOA 小組，里面的內容一般都是篩選過的，每天聽一些，熟悉一下英美人士的發音就好。

Section D 1 段長文章，共有 10 個空格，注意要填寫的可能是單詞也可能是短語。

最后就是關于考聽力的一些提示，畢竟英語競賽的聽力考試是播放錄音的，各考場分配到的帶子質量不一，考場環境有好有壞。假設你實在太倒霉了，帶子播放不清晰，環境吵雜（監考老師也很可能幫不了你，因為大多監考老師不是英語老師），也不要心慌，冷靜下來盡量聽到關鍵詞，加上自己的大膽猜測，蒙對的概率也是很大的。

Part II 詞匯和結構

一共 15 小題，考的語法知識不是太難，四六級之間的程度。建議你在這部分加快速度，為后面的大量閱讀爭取更多的時間。

PartIII 閱讀理解

Section A 閱讀文章后按問題選答案，4 小題每題 1 分。

Section B 閱讀文章后先是 6 題 Y/N/NG，考過四六級的應該都不陌生，然后是 4 題填空，注意這里的填空是一空 2 分 ~ 相當值錢！而且至少有三個空都是能在原文中找到答案的。

Section C 閱讀文章后做短答，5 小題每題 2 分。

Section D 閱讀文章后做填空，6 小題每題 2 分。

閱讀量相當大，這是參加過大學生英語競賽的賽友們普遍認同的觀點。而且歷年中各種怪模怪樣的文章形式都出現過，題目設置從簡答到選擇不拘一格，關鍵還是心態要冷靜。這里建議大家同時報個六級考試，考過的也可以嘗試再考拿高分。找一些六級或考研的英語題做速度練習，注意訓練思維敏捷度，加快做題的速度。Part IV 完形填空

Section A 屬于給詞填空的類型，五個空也有給五個備選詞匯，難度不大。Section B 7 個空格，每個待填的詞匯都有給出首字母（或頭連個字母），難度比 Section A 大一些。

這一部分的填空均是每空 1 分，做完形主要還是考語感和詞匯量。也有的賽友做完 PartIII 的閱讀已經感覺“頭昏眼花”，時間又不夠，可以先跳過此部分，后面再回過頭來做。

Part V 翻譯

Section A 英譯漢，待翻譯的英文是由一篇短文中劃取的 5 個句子，總分 8 分。Section B 漢譯英，待翻譯的漢語是直接給出的 3 個句子，總分 7 分。

2007、2008 連著兩年翻譯的題型沒有變，估計 2009 年還是會如此延續。但是題量上，2007 年是英譯漢、漢譯英都是 5 個句子分別 10 分，2008 年題量和分數有所減少。翻譯安排得比較靠后，難度也是比較低的。所以前面浪費了時間而不得不放棄此項的賽友有不少都事后捶胸頓足。

Part VI IQ 測試

2007 年的 IQ 測試題是安排在第三部分，估計是太多人反應這部分費時又費力，放在前面純粹誤導人，但是至少 5 題都是選擇題。

2008 年的樣題就指出將 IQ 測試放在 Part VI 了，而且改成了填空題。盡管也是 5 題，難度應該是略有提高的。忘了說了，IQ 測試題都是每題一分的。也有一些老師提倡把 IQ 部分放空，等寫完作文了留到最后有時間再做。Part VII 寫作

與平時的其他英語考試不同的是，英語競賽的寫作有兩篇作文。

第一篇一般是應用文，比如通知、廣告、給指定某某人的信等等格式，所以要注意不同應用文的格式，比如開頭有沒有必要的標題或是稱呼，第二篇就是四六級常見的議論文，主要也是與學生生活貼近的話題拿出來討論，列出自己的觀點條理清晰很重要。

初賽的寫作難度都不高，決賽的寫作部分是發揮你英語水平的好時候。當然比賽的時候，也是應該學會放棄一些題目。競賽類的題目大多比較 “ 靈活 ”，涉及課外知識、計算、智力測試等，適合知識面較廣的學生。有些你能看懂題目，能看懂選項，花了很多時間，但是你依然會做錯。

備考最重要的還是多做練習，歷年的樣題和真題都是訓練的好材料。

一、重視聽力，講究訓練方法

聽力理解占試卷總分的30分，這部分的成績對考生的英語成績影響很大。聽力理解中，聽者要對聽到的語言信息進行復雜加工，整個過程是一個非常積極、非常活躍的動態過程。為了提高聽力理解能力，建議廣大考生做到練之有法。

（1）夯實語音基礎，提高對英語聽力材料的心理敏感程度。我們知道語音、詞匯和語法是語言的基本要素。語音是基礎中的基礎，語音包括正確辨音，掌握句子的重音、節奏和語調。英語國家說話者經常運用弱讀、省音、同化和連讀等手段，盡量縮短非重讀音節所需的時間，以保持英語的自然節奏。如果考生只習慣于速度較慢、逐字逐句讀出的英語，對弱讀、省音、同化和連讀等音變現象不敏感，就會造成聽力理解上的困難。這就要求在平時的學習和訓練中，對放慢速度的朗讀、聽寫，一定要注意在英語的自然節奏和語音語調的基礎上進行，而不是通過一詞一詞清楚地朗讀來放慢速度。另外，英語語調的變化也會造成意義的改變，如使用降調表示肯定，升調表示懷疑等。考生只有具備了對英語聽力材料一定的心理敏感程度，才能適應不同的聽力材料，從而提高聽力理解的正確性。

（2）掌握詞匯、語法和語篇知識。詞匯是語言學習的基石，考生應該通過大量閱讀和反復操練，熟練掌握單詞、短語及基本義項。考生所掌握的語法知識可以幫助正確理解聽到的信息，當然也能幫助理解問題和做出準確的選擇。考生應特別關注否定、比較級和最高級、主動和被動語態等特殊的語言現象。想要獲得聽力理解部分的高分，必須把理解層次從詞句水平上升到語篇水平。各類英語語篇都具有比較固定的結構，掌握不同語篇結構對聽懂全文會有很大的幫助。日常生活中，人們往往先說出自己的觀點，然后進行論證，最后加以總結。因此，通常考生如果能聽懂文章的首尾句，就能抓住說話人的主要觀點。

（3）“預測”在聽力理解中是不可或缺的策略。所謂“預測”就是根據已掌握的聽力材料的信息、主旨等，結合自己的背景知識來推斷后面可能會出現的信息內容的思維過程。正確的“預測”要求考生必須抓緊空隙時間，搶先閱讀題目，目的在于根據選項的內容，將注意力集中于某特定信息，聽前就能做到心中有數。隨后，考生可以通過文章內容提示進一步印證事先的猜測。如果新出現的信息與預測信息不同，則要及時調整先前的判斷。

（4）在聽力理解中做“簡要記錄”。聽力理解是時間性很強的活動，而對篇幅較長的對話和語篇，光靠大腦記憶材料的細節有一定困難，加之心情緊張，有許多情況是聽的時候懂了，答題時卻又拿不準答案，這時除了加強短期記憶外，適當的筆記，寫一些包括自己所熟悉的符號，就顯得十分必要。但是“記錄”只是輔助作用，決不能影響正常的“聽”。

（5）精聽與泛聽相結合。“精聽”主要是指按高考聽力模式或課本中聽力課模式進行訓練的活動，“泛聽”是指不受題型限制，只重聽力熏陶的聽力活動，考生在課余應多聽符合自己英語水平的英語新聞、英語故事，欣賞英語電影。“泛聽”能培養英語學習的興趣，開闊視野，拓展知識面。精聽重在幫助熟悉題型，掌握解題技巧等。學生在日常訓練中，應把“精聽”與“泛聽”有機地結合起來，才能提高聽力理解的水平。

二、回歸基礎，重視知識內容落實

競賽雖然強調了由過去的比較注重知識考查轉向注重綜合語言運用能力的考查，但是我們必須清醒地認識到能力的提高必須依托基礎。考生必須根據新課標中制定的各項要求，落實所要求的詞匯，懂得一詞多義的用途，還應重視構詞法的規則及特點，學會猜測詞義及靈活地根據語境解決“熟詞生義”的現象。考生需要系統掌握語法，注重結合語境，關注語法點之間的聯系，從而加強知識的運用。

可嘗試建立錯題檔案，從錯誤中提高不失為提高英語水平的良方。在基礎知識的考核中，尤其是在單項填空題中，考生可適當采用排除法、篩選法、猜測法、推理法等，從句子的結構、句子的意思、說話人的口氣等諸方面整合所給信息來答題，這樣就能提高答題的正確率。

三、注重英語書面表達訓練，提高作文得分

書面表達部分主要考查考生綜合運用英語的能力，要求考生根據所給信息，寫出語義連貫、結構完整、表達清晰的簡短文章。英語書面表達很能體現英語學習者的思維能力、分析能力和綜合運用語言知識的能力。從書面表達的閱卷情況看，考生普遍得分不理想，歸納起來大體存在著以下幾個方面的問題：

（1）文體格式不明。應該說高中階段學生應學會寫多種文體的英文作文，各種不同的文體有其各自的特點和格式。

（2）詞匯知識薄弱。主要表現在單詞拼寫錯誤多、數的概念模糊、詞匯辨識不清、時態誤用、詞語搭配不當或畫蛇添足等方面。

（3）句子結構錯誤。有部分考生刻意追求寫長句或優美句，反而使得英語的句子結構混亂，使讀者不知所云。

（4）母語痕跡明顯。相當多的考生沒有注重平時的積累，寫出來的英語句子漢語化明顯。

（5）篇章邏輯混亂。綜觀全篇，無論是段與段的轉換，還是句與句的連貫，都讓人覺得突然，沒有做好各個環節的順利過渡和主題內容的遞進，使文章缺乏整體性和可讀性。

書面表達的能力培養不是一蹴而就的，它是一個循序漸進的過程。根據學生的實際情況，我們提出如下建議：

（1）正確認識。相當一部分考生認為書面表達只是簡單的句子翻譯，無需在平時多加訓練，這是極其錯誤的。書面表達就是考查考生的語言輸出能力，應引起重視，加強平時常規訓練。

（2）訓練應循序漸進。練不是胡亂地練，應夯實基礎。首先寫好簡單句，掌握好五種基本句型；然后學寫并列句和復雜句，注重句型轉換練習；最后才進行篇章訓練。

（3）重視范文。優秀的范文有很大的借鑒作用。建議考生對各種文體的優秀范文，尤其是實用性文體的范文進行閱讀和模仿，并力求有自己的創意。

（4）注意積累。積累應包括生活知識的 積累和語言表達的積累。只有有了大量的積累，才有可能在競賽時寫出佳作。

總之，要學好英語，考生應遵循一定的科學方法，但學無定

Part VII Writing

Task I

NOTICE

We are very honored to have Prof.Richard Gilbert from Harvard University to give us a lecture on American Liberal Education.Prof.Gilbert, who graduated from Standford in 1979 and received his Ph.D.in Education from Harvard in 1984, has been conducting research and teaching international students in Harvard for more than 20 years.He has become a leading expert in this field and has published several books and numerous papers on liberal education and education policy.His humorous and thought provoking speech will surely benefit all the audience.The lecture will be given in the English Department Conference Hall from 2:30 to 4:30.p.m., Friday afternoon, November 16, 2007.All the teachers and students are welcome.English Department

Task II

The Anti-Addiction System

Now in China, the adoption of the anti-addiction system and a “real name checking” system in netbars has led to a heated debate among students.Some say that students' self-discipline is very limited and now at least 14 percent of the urban teenage players are addicted to the Internet and some children even repeatedly disappear from home to spend their nights at local Internet cafes, and play truant from school also.Therefore, they have failed quite a few school exams.In this sense, the new policy can prevent minors developing online addiction.Others claim that the anti-addiction system is only a means to an end and cannot remove the root of the online addiction completely and they believe the

key is to guide the minors to improve their self-control and balance their work and play.In my opinion, the latter point hits home for me because it cuts to the chase.However, education is a long process and takes time, which means before education produces effects on children, some supplementary measures should also be taken to speed up the process and the anti-addiction system is one of them.參考資料：08C類

This report sets out to present how fashions for young people have changed in recent years in China.Findings

According to my survey, I have found the following three points:

1、Nowadays, the young are seeking for individuality instead of uniformity in the old days and they want the clothes to be unique.2、Thanks to the mass data, the young people are deeply influenced by the fashion trend throughout the word.The North Korean style in hugely popular among them in recent five or six years.3、The general trend is to be casual and simple.Conclusion

Task I

To: the Personnel Director and the Training Manager

From: assistant to the Customer Service Director

Date: 23 June 2009

Subject: decreasing sales

As requested by the Customers Service Director , I have done a survey concerning our decreasing sales.This survey shows that our staff are not interested in helping customers and they are unhappy in their jobs.Therefore, our sales have been decreasing for several months.I think we should give bonuses to the best seller every month to improve our staff’s enthusiasm.What’s more, we should have some special offer every day to attract more customers.Task II

Take My Advice on How to Control Stress

As the competition between students increases, more and more students feel stressful about their course.As far as I’m concerned , we can take the initiative to reduce the stress.Firstly, make a plan for everyday study.For instance, you keep learning English for two hours every day, and within the two hours, you will learn 10 new words and read 2 articles.This way you can learn more than 1000 words three month later and your reading ability will improve as well.Therefore, you don’t have to stay up late before the English examination.As long as you keep learning every day, you will find you are well prepared for the exams already.Secondly, do something else to divert your mind before exams.For example, if you can play piano, play your favorite songs for one or two hours and you will feel relaxed.To conclude, keep learning regularly and cultivate a hobby and you will find yourself relaxed about your course.參考：?fr=qrl&cid=951&index=2&fr2=query

Part Three Cloze(15 marks)

I have been reading a lot on my iPad recently, and I have some(46)_____(complain)not about the iPad itself but about the state of digital reading generally.Reading is a subtle thing, and its subtleties are artifacts of a venerable medium: words printed in ink on paper.Glass and pixels aren't the same.When I read a physical book, I don't have to look anywhere else to find out how much I've read.The iPad e---reader, iBooks tries to create the(47)illu_____ of a physical book.The pages seem to turn, and I can the edges of those that remain, but it's fake.There are always exactly six unturned pages, no matter(48)_____ I am in the book.Also, there is a larger problem.Books in their digital format look vastly less “finished”, or less genuine than real books.You can vary their font and type size, but this only makes them(49)_____(resemble)word---processed---no matter how(50)_____(wretch)or wonderful they are---will never look as good as Robert Hass's poems in the print edition of The Apple Trees at Olema.But your poems can look almost exactly as ugly---as “e---book---like”---as the Kindle version of that collection.All the e---book I've read have been ugly---books by Chang---rae Lee, Alvin Kernan, and Stieg Larsson---though the texts have been wonderful.I didn't grow up reading texts.I grew up reading books, and this(51)_____(differ)is important.When it comes to digital editions, the(52)_____(assume)seems to be that all books(53)are_____(create)equal.However, nothing could be further from the truth.In the mass migration from print to digital, we're seeing a profusion of digital books---many of them out of copyright---that look new and even “HD,” but which may well have been supplanted by more accurate editions and better translations.We need a digital readers' guide---a place where readers can find(54)_____ whether the book they're about to download is the best available edition.(55)Fi_____, two related problems.I already have a personal library, but most of the books I've read have come from(56)_____(lend)libraries.Barnes & Noble has released an e---reader that allows short---term(57)_____(borrow)of some books.The entire idea behind Amazon's Kindle and Apple's iBooks assumes that you cannot read a book unless you own it first and that only you can read it unless you want to give your reading device to someone else.This goes against the social value of reading, the collective knowledge and(58)_____(collaborate)discourse that comes from access to(59)_____or our culture in general.Part Four Reading Comprehension(40 marks).Section A(10 marks).Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Not keen on reading? Do you have trouble finding a novel that arouses your interest? Why not follow Ammon Shea's example and start reading a dictionary?

Mr Shea owns over 1,000 dictionaries and he reads them for fun.He recently spent a year reading all 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary.The dictionary contains more than 20,000 pages and over 59 million words.As he read from A to Z, he noted down interesting words in a ledger.This includes words such as “happify,” meaning to make someone happy and “tripudiate”, which means to dance, skip or leap for joy.Mr Shea also kept a diary about this experience, which has since become a best---selling book.Why did he do this? He claims it was fun.“I've always enjoyed reading dictionaries.They are far more interesting than people give then credit for,” he said.It appears that it was not his goal to sound more intelligent by using longer and more complex words.“I'm not against long, fancy or obscure words, but I'm opposed to using then for their own sake,” he said.In fact ,as a result of reading so many new words , Mr Shea often forgot everyday vocabulary.He wrote, “My head was so full of words that I often had trouble forming simple sentences.”

Mr Shea is not alone in his love of reading dictionaries.Elaine Higgleton, a representative of Collins Cbuild dictionaries, explained that thousands of crossword puzzle and Srabble fans read dictionaries for fun and to improve their games.Ms Higgleton did however note that, “It's probably not the best way to learn English ,and you'd learn more than you need.” It is not known how many of the 59 million words Ms Shea remembers, but he has certainly made history with his eccentric hobby.Questions 61 to 65.Decide whether the following statements are True or False.61.Mr Shea has read 1.000 dictionaries.62.Mr Shea spent one month reading the Oxford English Dictionary.63.In Mr Shea's opinion,people don't give dictionaries enough credit for being interesting.64.Mr Shea thinks it is important t be able to use long and complicated words in everyday conversation.65.Elaine Higgleton thinks that reading a dictionary is the best way to learn English.Section B(10 marks)Questions 66 to 70are based on the following passage.Surfing is something people often get hooked on after trying it a few times.For many surfers it is much more than a hobby---they would probably agree with the American professional surfer Kelly Slater when he said,“Once you're in, you're in.There's no getting out.”

“Surfing”, of course, refers to riding on ocean waves using a surfboard.Many surfers stand up on their boards, which requires god balance and is therefore difficult for most beginners to learn, but some lie down and “bodyboard”

The history of surfing probably began with the Polynesian people of the Pacific Islands.One of the first white people to see anyone surfing was the British explorer Captain Gook, when his ship arrived in Hawaii in 1779.He watched many Hawaiians riding waves on large pieces of wood, and reported that, “Surfing seems to give them a feeling of great pleasure.”

When surfing started to become very popular in the United States in the 1950's and 60s, surfers used large wooden boards(often more than three metres long)that were quite heavy.Boards today are shorter and also much lighter, because they are made of artificial materials instead of wood.For anyone who wants to try surfing.The only essentials are waves and a board.There are a few other things, however, that most surfers find important;a cord t attach one of their ankles to the board and therefore stop it from being carried a long way away when they fall off';wax, which they put on the surface of the board to help their feet stick to it;and a wetsuit to help them keep warm in cold water.The south---west of English is an example of a place where surfers usually need wetsuits, even in summer.Surfing has been a professional sport for many yeara and the very best surfers are able to make a living from it.Most of the best professional surfers in the last 30 years, both men and women, have been American or Australian, but surfers from Brazil, Peru and South Africa have also won important competitions.Questions 66 to 70 Answer the following questions with the information given in the assage in a maximum of 10 words for each question.66.Why do most beginners find it difficult t stand up on a surfboard? 67.In what part of the world did surfing probably begin? 68.When did surfing start to become very popular in the United States? 69.What do surfers use wax for? 70.According to the passage, in what part of the world do surfers usually need wetsuits? Section C(10 marks)Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage.The latest human development report from the United Nations Development Programmed(UNDP)contains some good news, but also a very serious warning about the threat posed y climate change.The report, published annually since 1990, seeks to asses “human development” around the world, and calculates a “Human Development Index(HDI)for 169 counties.The HDI is based on average income, life expectancy and level of education in a country.Not surprisingly, rich counties tend to have higher HDIs than poor counties, but there are interesting variations in human development among countries with similar levels of economic development, because some have better health and education systems than others.According to the 2010 report, the county with the highest level of human development is Norway, followed by Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Ireland.Most of the lowest HDIs belong to counties in sub-Saharan Africa.Almost all counties around the worlds have higher HDIs now than in 1990, despite the fact that since the 2008 financial crisis, the total number of people living in extreme poverty has increased.The report concludes that most people are healthier, live longer, are better educated and have access to more goods and services.Even in countries with severe economic problems, people’s level of health and education as generally improved.Although sub-Saharan African countries are at the bottom of the pile in terms of human development, some of them have made significant progress since 1990.The report is critical, however, of the fact economic inequality has increased significantly in the last twenty years, both within and between countries.The greatest threat to improving HDIs in the future, according to the report, is climate change.Economic growth increases average incomes in a country through increasing production and consumption.However , if this leads to greater emissions of greenhouse gases, as has always been the case in the past, global warning will probably accelerate, and cause severe environmental problems in some parts of the world hat will threaten the livelihoods of huge numbers f people.The progress of the last twenty years, therefore, might not be sustainable.The only solution, according to the report, I to break the link between economic growth and greenhouse gas emissions-which, needless to say, is easier, said than done.Questions 71 to 75 Complete the following sentences with information given in the passage in a maximum of 10 words for each blank.71.The concept of “human development” is based on the following three factors: _______, _____________and_____________.72.Some countries with similar levels of economic development have quite different HDIs because they have_____________.73._________________has caused the number of people living in extreme poverty to increase since 2008.74.The report says that ______________ is the greatest threat to increasing HDIs in the future.75.The report says the link between____________ and ____________needs to be broken.Section D(10 marks)Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them.They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways;that they are possessive and dominant;that they do not trust their children to deal with crises: that they talk too much about certain problems-and that they have no sense o humor, at least parent-child relationships.I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they felt themselves when were young.Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes, hairstyles, entertainers and music.This is not their motive.They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted, so they create a culture and society and their own.Then, if it turns out that their music, entertainers, vocabulary, clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment.They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes teenagers are resistant and proud because they do not want their parents to approve of what they do.If they did approve, it looks as if the teenager is betraying his own age group.All this is assuming that the teenager is the underdog: he can not win but at least he can keep his honor.This is a passive way of looking at things.It is natural enough after years of childhood, when children were completely under their parent’s control, but it ignores the fact that when they become teenagers, children are beginning to be responsible for themselves.If you plan to control your life, co-operation should be a part of that plan.You can charm other people, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want.You can also impress people with your of responsibility and your initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.Questions 76 to 78 Choose the best answer according to the passage.76 the first paragraph is mainly about_____________.A teenagers’ criticism of their parents B misunderstanding between teenagers and their parents C the dominance of parents over their children D teenagers’ ability to deal with crises

teenagers have strange clothes and hairstyles because they___________ A have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste B want to prove their existence by creating a culture of their own C have no other way to enjoy themselves D want to irritate their parent 78 teenagers do not want their parents to approve of what they do because they _______________.A have already been accepted into adult world B feel that they are superior to adult world C want to win adults over to their culture D don’t want to appear to be disloyal to their own age group Question 79 to 80 Translate the sentences in the passage into Chinese 79 I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they felt themselves when were young 80 You can charm other people, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want.Part V translate(10 mark)Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given brackets.Remember to write your answer on the answer sheet.81 他以犧牲健康為代價獲得財富。(at the cost of)82 我不知道有多少學生涉及到這次事件。(be involved in)83 為孤兒捐款，請按以下地址或電話同我們聯系。(contact)84 目前，在韓國和日本，漢語已成為第二外語，僅次于英語。(second to)85 要不是下雨，我們的旅行本來是很愉快的。(but for)Part VII writing(30 marks)Task I(10marks)It’s the beginning of a new year.Write describing resolutions you make to try to change your life and why you Li Ming instead Write a note of about 100 words in an appropriate style on the answer sheet.Task II(20marks)Write about the following topic.Success is something most people try to achieve.What does success mean to different people, and what is your view or success?
