Craze for Civil Service Examinations

1.現(xiàn)在有越來越多的大學畢業(yè)生報考公務員

2.引起此現(xiàn)象的原因

3.你的看法

Every year hundreds of thousands of people in China take civil service exams conducted at various levels in the hope of becoming government employees.Among them, college graduates are a fast-growing force that can’t be ignored.The craze for being a civil servant is not limited to liberal arts majors, as it’s also gaining popularity among science and engineering students.In the final analysis, this growing trend among the youngsters is mainly attributable to two factors – ambitions and comforts.On one hand, many ambitious college graduates view these exams as a springboard to a higher social status, greater power and prestige, on which many of their other wishes rest.On the other, as being a civil servant generally means a as well stable income, enviable healthcare and pension programmes, as other comforts of life, it’s quite an appealing career option to many people, especially in this age of sluggish蕭條的 world economy.Personally, the desire to be a government official is beyond reproach(無可厚非), as the nation and the people do need an injection of new blood into the civil service sectors.The fresh-faced college graduates, armed with lofty崇高的 ideals, new vision, and strong drive, are undoubtedly among the best candidates.From: http://求職信

Dear Sir or Madam，I learned from Beijing Youth Daily Oct.2 that your company is offering a position for a secretary, and it's a great pleasure for me to write to explore the possibility of seeking the job.I graduated two years ago from Beijing University of Technology, and obtained a bachelor's degree in the field of business manage?ment.During my stay in the university my major courses included macro-economics, business communication skills, marketing and com?puter applications.I was especially fond of the communication skills which enabled me to deal with people and things around well.Upon graduation I engaged with HP China Branch as an assis?tant to the head of Marketing Department.My responsibilities consist?ed of carrying out market surveys, writing reports and organizing meet?ings within the department.This two-year experience has helped me a lot in many ways.In particular, I become increasingly aware of the importance of co-ordination and co-operation among co-workers.I also believe the experience will qualify me for the current vacancy in your company.I passed both CET-4 and CET-6 with high marks.My spoken English is also fluent enough to organize meetings in English, which was actually my routine work in HP.Most of my market reports were presented in English, as my former boss is a native English speaker

I enclose herein my resume and some relevant documents as re?quired.And if you need any further information on me, I also refer you to Mr.Johnson, my ex-colleague, who is available at 021-66668888.I appreciate your sincere consideration of me, and am looking forward to an early interview with you.Sincerely yours，Wang Peng

Every year, college students are inspired to help students with their study in underdeveloped areas in china.They have been trying their best to impart knowledge and offering help to those students who are so eager to learn.This volunteer practice has been beneficial in two aspects.On one hand, college volunteers are really devoted to the cause.They have opened the eyes of students in underdeveloped regions to the outside world by bringing them new knowledge and thoughts.As a result, they are extremely welcome and respected by the children there.On the other hand, college students have received a rigorous training by adapting to the harsh living conditions.They are learning how to deal with difficulties and face challenges as well.What’s more, by any means, this volunteer experience will be always a valuable asset in his or her life.In my opinion, every Chinese citizen is responsible for the development of education in china.And we college students should take the lead in response to the appeal for offering aid to children in poor areas.From: http://“College Graduates Work as Village Officials”.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese: Remember to write it neatly.1.現(xiàn)在許多大學畢業(yè)生愿意到農(nóng)村當村官。

3.你的看法。

In recent years being a village official has become the first choice of many college students when they graduate and are trying to find a job.According to a report carried by The Chinese Education Daily the number of students who apply for the post increases at the annual rate of 20 percent in recent five years, which well justifies the popularity of becoming a village official among college students.Several factors may account for this popularity.First, it is the fierce competition of job market that forces the college graduates to consider other alternatives other than staying in the big cities as they used to.Secondly, to encourage well-educated young talents to work in the rural areas, the government authorities have made some policies offering major incentives to college graduates who are willing to work for rural governments at grassroots level, especially for village committees.For example, those who work for a rural committee for at least three years after graduation can get a 10-point credit in their exams to enter graduate schools.The preferential treatment is appealing to many students.Last but not least, many students consider working as a village official is a rewarding opportunity.It will acquaint themselves with the very society of our country as well as improve their adaptability to different circumstances, both of which are believed to be beneficial to their future career.In my opinion, college students working as a village official is worth promoting.It is possible that some graduates may use the job as “spring boards”: only applying for it in order to receive the favorable treatment, but the majority of them genuinely hope to serve the rural areas and better the life of the villagers.With the participation of so many college graduates, we have reasons to believe that it will not take too long to realize the blueprint of Constructing New Village.From: http://畢業(yè)后考研或深造?--信函類作文

Choosing career is a problem that every youth must be faced.First of all, when a person has grown up, he has to decide which field he will go into so that he can earn enough money and support himself.Besides, with so many people rushing into the city from the coun?try, there are fewer and fewer job opportunities available and it is becoming increasingly difficult for one to find a suitable job.There are many factors to be considered when one is choosing a career.One factor is that a young man has to find a job that will bring him a good income for a comfortable life.Interest is another factor.The job should be interesting and motivating.Finally, one should find a job that suits his talent, so that he can make full use of his potential.But what preparations should a young man make in order to choose a good job? One must first of all be serious about this matter be?cause it will have an influence on his whole life.Then, to meet the requirements of demanding jobs, one needs to have certain qualifica?tions.It is therefore essential for him to acquire basic knowledge and skills.From: http://Jobs for Graduates

As is shown in the table above, dramatic changes have taken place in family expenses in the City of Shanghai within two decades(from 1980 to 2000).The most obvious change is in expense on food and clothing, which has dropped by 48%, while those on recreation, education and health care have increased respectively by 5%, l6% and l0%.Expenses on other things keep rising from 17% to 35%.The statistics of rise and fall seem to exist in isolation but are in fact closely related to one another.The most likely factors accounting for these changes are as follows:

Development in economy is the fundamental one.The increased income results in the lowering percentage of food and clothing.Another factor lies in the development of people’s concept.People begin to interest themselves in recreation and education.These changes should also be attributed to social reforms.In the 1990’s, college education was not totally free as it was before, which also accounts for the rising expenses on education.Soon after, the government gradually stopped offering houses to its citizens without charges.People had to save a large proportion of their money for housing.That's partly why the expenses for ''others'' doubled.As for the more expenses on health care, I figure there are two main reasons: the cancellation of free medical care and people’s awareness of the importance of health.The changes reflect the development of the city and indicate that people are enjoying more.Sample 2：恒星英語學習網(wǎng)

A Letter to the Minister of Education

Dear Minister of Education，I am a college student and I would like to suggest that students should be given several shorter breaks through the year instead of the traditional long vacations.The reasons why I am in favor of it are as follows.First, students must work very hard at their studies.If they work for too long without a break, they may become overtired and discouraged.They may lose their enthusiasm for learning.Second, a very long vacation is not necessary.Students can recharge their energy in a few days rather than weeks.Furthermore, many students do not use a long vacation wisely and just waste their time instead of doing something meaningful.And last but not least, vacations give students time to explore other interests and perhaps apply what they have been learning to the real world.If they always focus on their studies.They may lose touch with what is happening in their society.In conclusion, I believe that students today would benefit more from several short vacations than they do form two long ones.I do hope you can take my suggestion into consideration and make a final wise decision.Yours Sincerely

Early in senior high school, we longed to be enrolled in a university.Now the dream has come true.But how do we college students like our campus life?

Certainly, some relish it, finding it colorful and rewarding.Besides study, they spend considerable amount of time improving themselves in various aspects.Yet others do not think much of their college life, thus do not benefit as much.In their eyes, the university is just a bigger high school.The only difference is that they have more time at their disposal without parents looking over their shoulder.As to me, college life is ideal if only I have abundant books to read, some bosom friends to keep me company, a couple of conscientious professors to instruct me, and an easy access to the Internet.Sample 2

My fellow students，Last Friday, the Students’ Union of our Department organized a clean-up project to Zhongshan Lake.The purpose of this project is to enhance(加強)the environment awareness of general public.Late in the afternoon around 4, a group of 35 volunteers went to the park where we pick up the trash(垃圾)left by some tourists.As head of the group, I would like to report to you on the event.Actually, we did a wonderful job.When we were collecting the trash near the lake, many people paused to watch and then came to our help, showing considerable appreciation and support.But our work still left some to be desired.For one thing, since our project started late in the afternoon, hours were not long enough to attract enough people as we had predicted.For the other, lots of people passed by apparently not knowing what we were doing.But for these two drawbacks, our project could have been much better and more effective.So, following are two of my suggestions: next time we have similar activities, try to start earlier, say in the morning.In this case we can put in more hours.And also, as we are getting along, we can put up some posters to tell people what we are doing and call their attention to environment protection.Thank you.Sample 2 真題演講例文

5.Should College Students Live on Campus

v a.有些人喜歡住在學校的宿舍，因為??

v b.有些人喜歡住在校外，因為??

v c.我的看法

There are an increasing number of students who choose to live off campus.Parents and university administrations understandably reacted differently.They voiced concerns about security and the threat of off-campus lifestyles getting out of control.However, college students have their own reasons for their choices.Some students prefer to live on campus for the following reasons.First, campus residents are closer to classes, the library, and other resources, so they are more likely to succeed in college and complete their bachelor’s degree in four years.Furthermore, living in a dorm is a great opportunity to meet all kinds of new people and develop relationships with them, so students living on campus are more sociable.Last but not the least, living on campus is cheaper and more convenient.Often times, off-campus housing is more expensive than on-campus housing and while living on campus, you don’t have to worry about monthly rent payments and utility bills.Some others choose to live off campus because they believe living off campus they are more independent, with more privacy and a lot more quiet time.Living off campus gives them freedom from those dorm rules and allow them to set their own.The extra space also means that one can probably find a quiet place to study in the convenience of his own home.As for me, I’m a faithful supporter of the former group because I, living on campus myself, have witnessed and enjoyed all the convenience and happiness of doing so.To me, living on campus undoubtedly adds an important element to the complete college experience.6-1.How to improve student's mental health

Sample 1

1、大學生的心理健康十分重要

2、因此，學校可以......3、我們自己應當......As is known to all, psychological health is as important as, if not more important than, physical health for a student during his/her growth.However, it’s quite worrying that nowadays some students are not quite psychologically healthy.Undoubtedly, schools and universities should take great account in the responsibilities of students’ psychological health.Relevant courses and activities should be introduced to students so that they would be more aware of the significance of psychological health and find appropriate ways to maintain and improve it.For example, there should be a psychological counseling hotline or office for students to turn to when they need some psychological aid.Of course no psychological health can be obtained without the efforts from the students themselves.From my perspective, what they can do is trying to stay positive, optimistic and follow the right guidelines from their schools.To be more specific, they can participate in some activities such as voluntary work to cultivate an opening and caring mind.Meanwhile, harmful impacts from the cyber space should definitely be avoided.From: http://Sample 2 On Stress 面對壓力

3.我的看法。

(1.有的人害怕壓力。

2.有的人認為壓力并不是一件壞事。

3.我的看法。)

With the fast pace of modern life, more and more people are living under great pressure.Some people are afraid of pressure.They think that the stresses and strains of work deprive them of joy and happiness.In their view, stress does harm to them both physically and mentally.That is why they prefer something less competitive and strenuous to something more demanding and challenging.Others argue that stress isn't as bad as it often supposed to be.Unless it is overwhelming, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and stimulation.Without stress, you may slack off and idle away your time.It gives purpose and meaning to an otherwise meaningless, dull life.People under stress tend to bring their potential into full play and to realize their goals.In my opinion, we shouldn't escape from stress but to face it as it is.What we can do is to adapt to the stress and to profit from it rather than to avoid it.http://www.tmdps.cn

2.舉個例子說明 3.總結(jié)

Crisis is to us what illness is to our body.On the one hand, illness can harm our body and sometimes even put an end to our life.In the same manner, crisis can cause damage to our life and career.On the other, just as illness sometimes can harden and strengthen our body(our immune system), so crises, especially those minor crises in life sometimes can be turned into a bless to us.A ready example that comes to mind is the earthquake crisis that has recently devastate most of Kyushu, Qinghai Province.Admittedly, it has cost us quite a lot.So many people were seriously injured and still so many even lost their lives.And our economy suffers a temporary setback and a slowdown.However we also have learned a great deal from it.Never has our nation been so united or have our people been more aware of value of lives.All in all, if we can bear in mind all the sufferings and ordeals we have experienced, then all our blood, tear, toil and sweat will not go unrewarded.7.投訴信

Dear President，I am a sophomore with the Department of Law.My name is Wang Ming.I am writing to you today to intimate you with something undesirable that I have found in the University Library.You may or may not realize how much our library, the landmark of our university or even of our town, weighs in our minds.It is a place we are most proud of and where we like to spend most of our time.In such an honorable place we have noticed recently some phenomena which hurt our eye.Some seats in the reading rooms are ‘permanently reserved vacant seats’, that is, some students “occupy” some seats they never come to use.What a terrible waste of valuable resource!Some other students are too noisy, talking among themselves, leaving mobile phone beeping anytime.And some library staff is ill-mannered and rude and not helpful most of time.These and other undesirable things have already done damage to the fame of our university and caused a lot of inconvenience to the users.Dear President, we hope that something can be done to change and reverse the current situation.Let our cozy, comfortable, quiet, effective library come back.Best wishes

“To buy or to rent”, that is a question about living for most young people who just graduated from university or who have worked for one or two years in big cities.Many people see it as a torturing choice and feel weak in face of it.sub-topics:

1.Which one will choose or have you chosen? Why?

2.Discussion: the advantages and disadvantages of buying a house and renting a house.3.What's your expectation about the realty market in the coming 10 years?

Millions of Americans have been unable to pay the mortgage on their houses and have had to leave them.Many are now renting, but are finding it difficult financially

Owning your home was once part of the American dream.But that dream has faded because of the economic recession in the United States.Millions of Americans have been unable to pay the mortgage on their houses and have had to leave them.Without a home of their own, many people are now renting, but this also can be difficult financially.Until recently, Brenda Ganaway lived in a home of her own in Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb close to Washington, D.C.But then the economic crisis hit and she was unable to keep paying the mortgage on her house.“We were behind on a few payments and we couldn't get a loan anywhere, so they just immediately foreclosed it and told us we had a certain amount of days to leave,” she explained.There are millions of people like Brenda Ganaway in America now.Raphael Bostic is the assistant secretary at the U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD.He says the number of Americans who own their homes is steadily dropping.“The homeownership rate in the United States used to be somewhere close to 70 percent.We've fallen off by several million households now,” he said.“And so the rate is down considerably.And a lot of those have now gone into the rental market.”

Renting does have some advantages over home ownership.If a renter wants to move, for example, he does not have to worry about finding a buyer for the house.Yazgul Odekova manages a rental property in Alexandria.She says the major reason people rent is that it is usually less expensive than owning a home.“People rent for different reasons.Number one is affordability,” she said.“It is cheaper to rent and it is risk-free.”

Renting is cheaper for many reasons, says Arun Shu.He is an international businessman who rents a home near Washington.He says there are many costs to owning a house besides paying the monthly mortgage.“If you decide to buy a house, a lot of expenses are involved.Not only payment if you take a mortgage, but also you have to pay property tax, maintenance and upkeep of the house,” he said.“You probably will want to spend some money on renovating the house, remodeling parts of the house if you buy [a] used house.”

But even renting can be difficult in today's market, especially in big cities.Danilo Pelletiere is an official at the National Low Income Housing Coalition.He says there just are not enough homes to rent and poor people are the most affected.“In the United States there has been a focus both at the local level and a national level on home ownership.That affected renters, low-income people and the like and a result you have shortage of three million units of affordable housing for lowest income people,” he said.Even if a house is available, Mr.Pelletiere says, being able to pay for it is another problem.To afford the rent, he says, many poor people work more than one job.“Today you need multiple minimum wage jobs to be able to afford a two-bedroom apartment,” he added.“We calculated about $18 an hour.”

Even if a person can afford the rent there are other obstacles.Yazgul Odekova, the property manager in Alexandria, says most people just do not meet the necessary qualifications, such as being able to prove they can afford the rental payments.“Right now from every 10 application we turned down nine.It is not just because people are dishonest.Sometimes people have big medical bills, sometimes people have bankruptcy, because suddenly they became sick and don't have health insurance.Sometimes peoples' income is very low, sometimes it is unstable relationship between people,” Odekova said.HUD's Raphael Bostic says the U.S.government has programs to help low-income families pay the rent.“We provide direct subsidy where we try to make sure that families are not overly burdened [so we don't wanna go over that 30 percent ratio], but that they can get into some decent high-quality housing,” Bostic said.But most analysts agree that until the U.S.economy improves, buying a home or renting one will be especially hard for low-income people.View on the Income Gap

Outline: 1.收入差距懸殊是當前社會的一種現(xiàn)象 2.人們對之褒貶不一 3我的看法

Sample

Now the income gap is getting wider and wider.In some privately owned firms, joint-ventures, or foreign-fund companies, an executive’s yearly income is ten times or even a hundred times as much as an ordinary worker’s.Faced with this situation, people will undoubtedly have different opinions.Some believe that it benefits the social and economic development since driving force is often derived from the gap.In other words, the gap inspires people and gives a push to advancement.Others speak of its side effect: income gap is often the root of social unrest and also contrary to our country’s principle.From my point of view, while it is true that the income gap may stimulate the social development to some extent, it causes trouble as well.An income gap that is too wide for most people to bear can neither contribute to the stability of a country nor promote its economic development.Therefore, while we are advocating the rapid development of our country, we should tolerate the narrow income gap but narrow the wide one.Fast Food

Fast Food

Fast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers.Today, nothing is more representative of the fast pace of modern society than fast food.There are several reasons for its popularity.First, it is quick and convenient.Go into a fast food restaurant, and your food will be ready in a minute.You can satisfy your hunger instantly.Precious time won't be wasted in waiting-in-line to order or waiting at your table for your food to arrive.Second, its popularity is also attributed to the clean food, the excellent service and the comfortable environment of the fast food restaurant.However, I think that fast food isn't healthy enough because it does not compose a balanced diet and is low in nutrition.Doctors suggest that people should avoid eating too much fast food.Although home cooking is time-consuming and following washing-u p tiresome, it offers healthy and delicious meals your body likes and needs.Outline: 1.為孩子聘請家教目前非常普遍 2.家教的利與弊 3.我的看法

Sample: Private tutoring is “in”.A recent investigation shows that about 80 percent of pupils have private tutors.Such a popular practice indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education.Many parents, for various reasons, missed the chance of obtaining a good education.When their children meet with difficulties in study, they are helpless.Private tutoring is the only solution.As private tutoring is usually one-to-one, the teacher knows the strong points as well as the weak points of the pupil clearly.However, private tutoring has its own disadvantages.For one thing, it takes up so much of the pupils’ time that they can hardly find enough time for rest and entertainment, which are essential for their physical and mental health.For another, some teachers, busy “shuttling” from one family to another, tend to neglect their regular teaching duties.What’s more, some teachers are eager to help pupils do well in the test, offering the so-called tips for test-taking rather than help them acquire what is more meaningful.Generally speaking, its disadvantages outweigh its advantages.Greater emphasis should be laid on classroom teaching and practice, on the improvement of teaching quality and on the tapping of pupils’ potentials.Only in this way can a new generation be healthily brought up.Friendship

On Cultivating the Sense of Gratitude

On college campuses across the nation, there is a noticeable phenomenon that we cannot afford to ignore: far too many young college students lack the sense of gratitude, one of the countless traditional virtues of this ancient land with a splendid civilization spanning over 5,000 years.These young adults were not and are not aware of the huge importance of expressing

gratitude to those who once helped them, from teachers to parents and so forth。

Personally, I deem that the root cause of students without a graceful heart is that they receive an education not valuing the moral sphere.I strongly believe that joint efforts from folks across society are the final remedy for this social headache.As young university students of the new era, we should make our own contributions to this cause.Imagine a world without the sense of gratitude.This kind of world is doomed to failure.Simply put, we should join our hands to heighten our awareness of fostering a graceful heart.Only in this way can we build our society into a harmonious one.My fellow students, I beg you to act from now on

On Uncivilized Behaviors

We cannot fail to notice that countless uncivilized behaviors exist in our daily lives, such as spitting, talking loudly, littering, saying nasty words in public places and so forth.All these are bad manners that we should not lose sight of.As an ancient land enjoying a splendid civilization spanning over 5,000 years, China is witnessing a surge in improper acts that every Chinese citizen should feel ashamed of.Uncivilized behaviors by a host of Chinese both at home and abroad have seriously affected China's image, according to an editorial posted on People Daily's official website。

As Chinese, we should not get offended when others point out our weaknesses but should focus more attention on improving ourselves.We should strive to identify the causes of those improper behaviors and find ways to eliminate them.There are a host of causes, I would argue, behind this trend.To name only one: the lack of moral education.The government should wage a massive moral campaign to fight against this trend and we ourselves should endeavor to behave decently in our daily lives.As college students of the new age, we should take the leading role。

2.低碳生活方式非常有好處

3.我們應該如何去做

【范文】

Nowadays, there are a considerable number of individuals who prefer to lead a low-carbon lifestyle which find expression in the fact that more and more commuters are using public transportation system in their daily life.Low carbon lifestyle can endow us and our society with numerous benefits.Firstly, it goes beyond doubt that low carbon lifestyle contributes a lot to the environmental protection and it is a favorable way to slow down the rate of climate change of our earth, which also means a lot to our health.We are supposed to undertake the responsibility to lead a low-carbon lifestyle, which is of

great significance.And there is a diversity of measures we can take so as to lead such an environmental-friendly life.For one thing, we are expected to minimize the use of private cars, which emit a large amount of greenhouse gases.For another, we are supposed to cultivate the public awareness of energy conservation for energy in the world today is decreasing rapidly.For instance, we can turn off electrical appliances if not necessary as well as using renewable materials.Furthermore, at our leisure, we can seek opportunities to plant more trees which can absorb carbon-dioxide.In brief, low-carbon lifestyle is nothing but the best choice for us and only in this way can we form a harmonious relationship with the environment.2011英語四級考試作文預測：農(nóng)民工

Why Are There So Many Rural Laborers in Big Cities?

1.近年來越來越多的民工涌入大城市

2.產(chǎn)生這一社會現(xiàn)象的原因

【范文】

For a number of years, there has been a steady rise in the number of rural laborers who flood into big cities.Many men work on construction sites, while many women work as dishwashers in restaurants or babysitters for city dwellers.Three reasons, in my mind, can account for this social phenomenon.First and foremost, the limited land can no longer produce enough crops for an ever-increasing rural population.In the second place, there are far more opportunities in big cities—rural laborers dream of earning money through hard work.Last but by no means least, many of them want to live permanently in big cities, because they admire the way of living there, and wish their children to receive good education.I firmly believe that if we try our best to create a healthy social atmosphere, rural laborers will make greater contribution to our nation.【點評】

本題談論的是一種社會現(xiàn)象。第一段首句引入某一現(xiàn)象，第二句舉例說明，第三句是個過渡句，引起下面解釋原因段落的第二段;第三段是簡潔的結(jié)束語，其中的賓語從句嵌套一個狀語從句。

范文首先指出大量農(nóng)民工涌入大城市這一現(xiàn)象，并引出第二段所闡述的三個原因。首先，農(nóng)村有限的土地不能滿足日益增長的人口消費。其次，大城市有更多的工作機會。最后，農(nóng)民工向往大城市的生活，想永遠居住在大城市。末段總結(jié)指出，如果創(chuàng)造一個健康的社會環(huán)境，農(nóng)民工就可以為國家做出更大的貢獻。

第一段第二句中的construction site表示“建筑工地”，babysitter表示“幫人看孩子的人”。

第二段第一點中的rural指“農(nóng)村的”;第三點中的permanently和admire分別指“永久地”和“羨慕”，receive education指“接受教育”。

39.We must seek immediate solutions for problems leading to the rapid depletion of the earth's ozone layer.If allowed to proceed unchecked , the problem will undoubtedly exacerbate global warming and threaten life as we know it today.我們必須尋求立即解決引起地球臭氧層快速損耗的問題的辦法。如果任其自由發(fā)展，這一問題無疑會加劇全球升溫，并且正如今天我們所知道的那樣危及生命。

49.Recognizing a problem is the first step in finding a solution.認識到問題是找到解決辦法的第一步。

50.Many of the explanations offered thus far are at least to a certain extent valid , but none fully address the problem and the issue must be examined in a wider context.目前提供的許多解釋至少在一定程度上是正確的，但是，沒有一個解釋能完全處理問題，這件事情必須放在更廣闊的背景中考慮。

to practice fiscal restraint will be highly beneficial.沒有能立即扭轉(zhuǎn)亞洲金融危機的辦法，但是，它使受到影響的國家相信實行財政控制將大有處。

52.Immediate solutions for solving problems surrounding poverty remain elusive.However , public recognition of the necessity to provide a better quality of life for millions of people will represent the first step in finding effective solutions.立即解決貧困問題的辦法仍然是難以捉摸的。然而，公眾認識到為數(shù)百萬人提供更高質(zhì)量的生活的必要性是找到有效的解決辦法的第一步。

While no one knows for sure , scientists do exhibit a degree of certainty when predicting that future generations will face a dramatically diffrernt world.如果人類繼續(xù)浪費自然資源，未來將會有什么貯藏？沒有人知道明確的答案，但是，科學家在預測后代將面對一個迥然不同的世界時確實有一定的把握。

Part ⅡReading Comprehension(35 minutes)

Directions:There are 4 passages in this part.Each passage is fol lowed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark t he corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage 1

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

The ancient Chinese called jade the stone of immortality.It has been used as adornment by women for thousands of years.

Cutting and polishing the raw stone is a tedious process.It often takes months.After initial cutting,a piece is ground to its desired form—being passed from rough to smooth grindstones.“Our job is to subtract;we cannot add,”smiles an experienced carver.

In judging jade,a little knowledge is often a dangerous thing.It is the easiest gem to imitate.Some of the cheap natural jade can be dyed to a beautiful green.Cruder imitations are made of glass or plastic;but these are easier to detect,since they are smoother than the real gem,which has a slightly uneven surface and a rather greasy look.

No two gems are alike.Jade is priced according to its colour and translucence.Prices range from a few dollars for an opaque,dull-green stone to thousands for one with a true,clear,emerald green.The guidelines for buying jade are few and simple:Buy jade only after having seen it under natural light.Use another piece of good quality for comparison.Beware on unusually low prices.Finally,go to only reputable jewellers.

21.It often takes____ to cut and polish jade.

A)a short time B)a few weeks C)years D)months 

22.Before being passed through grindstones,raw jade is first____.

A)carved B)subtracted C)cut D)polished

23.People find it easy to make____.

A)good jade B)imitation jade C)beautiful jade D)genuine jade

24.A piece of “jade” made of glass or plastic is ____.

A)uneven B)greasy C)rough D)smooth

25.A good piece of jade may cost____.

A)a few dollars B)a hundred dollars C)thousands of dollars D)millions of dollars

Passage 2 Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

American Indians played a central role in the war known as the American Revoluti on.To them,however,the dispute between the colonists and England was peripheral(邊緣的).For American Indians the conflict was a war for American Indian independence,and whichever side they chose they lost it.Mary Brant was a powerful influence among the Iroquois.She was a Mohawk,the leader of the society of all Iroquois matrons,and the widow of Sir William Johnson,Superintendent of Indian Affairs.Her brother,Joseph Brant, is the best-known American Indian warrior of the Revolution,yet she may have exerted even more influence in the Confederacy than he did.She used her influence to keep the western tribes of Iroquois loyal to the English king,George Ⅲ.When the colonists won the war,she and her tribe had to abandon their lands-and retreat to Canada.On the other side,Nancy Ward held positions of authority in the Cherokee nation.She had fought as a warrior in the war against the Greeks and as a reward for her heroism was made “Beloved Woman”of the tribe.This office made her chief of the women’s council and a member of the council of chiefs.She was friendly with the White settlers and supported the Patriots during the Revolution.Yet the Cherokees too lost their land.

26.What is the main point the author makes in the passage?

A)Siding with the English in the Revolution helped American Indians regain their land.

B)At the time of the Revolution,the Superintendent of Indian Affairs had li ttle power. C)Regardless of whom they supported in the Revolution,American Indians lo st their land.

D)The outcome of the Revolution was largely determined by American Indian women.

27.According to the passage,Mary Brant’s husband had been a ____.

A)government officialB)Mohawk chief C)revolutionary hero D)Cherokee council member

28.To which tribe did Nancy Ward belong?

A)Mohawk.B)Iroquois.C)Cherokee.D)Greek.

29.How did Nancy Ward gain her position of authority?

A)By bravery in battle.B)By marriage to a chief.

C)By joining the Confederacy.D)By being born into a powerful family.

30.According to the passage,what did Mary Brant and Nancy Ward have in comm on? A)Each was called “Beloved Woman”by her tribe.

B)Each influenced her tribe’s role in the American Revolution.

C)Each lost a brother in the American Revolution.

D)Each went to England after the American Revolution.

Passage 3 Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

It is in the joints of human body that movements of the bones take place.The movement itself is caused by the pull of sheets and cords of very tough tissue(組織)called muscle.Muscle tissue has the special ability to shorten itself so that the bone on which it pulls has to move.When muscle tissue shortens,it also bunches up(凸起).Muscle tissue covers the body in sheets,and bands that lie between the skin and the skeleton.The bones are the framework of the body,but the muscles fill out the body shape.Most muscles extend from one bone to another.When the muscle between the bones shortens,one bone has to move.The point where the muscle is fastened to the unmoving bone is called the origin of the muscle, whereas the point where the muscle is fastened to the bone that is to be moved is called the insertion.Sometimes the muscle is not attached directly to the bone but to a tough,nonstretchable cord ,or tendon that is attached to the bone.

Muscles do not push;they can only pull.To bend the arm at the elbow,the muscle at the front of the upper arm has to shorten and bunch up.To unbend the arm,other muscles in the back of the arm have to shorten.These two sets of muscles —the front and back—are said to act in opposition to each other.When one set is working ,the other set is usually relaxed.But there are times when both of them work.Sometimes muscles are called upon to do more than simply pull in one direction.They may have to perform a turning motion.To be able to do this ,the muscle must be attached to the bone at an angle.By pulling, the muscle can cause the bone to pivot.

31.According to the passage,movement occurs when a muscle____.

A)grows B)shortens C)relaxes D)pushes

32.The point at which a muscle is attached to the bone that moves is called the ____.

A)source B)insertion C)tendon D)diaphragm

33.The phrase“called upon”in line 12 is closest in meaning to which of the

following?

A)Required.B)Visited.C)Permitted.D)Subjected.

34.The passage implies that reversing the muscle-bone movement used to bend an arm requires____.

A)the relaxation of two sets of muscles B)the use of different muscles C)a different kind of tissue D)the enlargement of the muscle

35.Why are some muscles attached to bones at an angle?

A)To cause the muscles to push.B)To strengthen the muscles.

C)To shorten tissues.D)To perform a turning action.

Passage 4 Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Of the tens of thousands of ships on the ocean bottom,only a handful,less than1 percent,contain negotiable treasure,such as gold and jewels.Most give us a different,priceless treasure—history.A sunken ship lies in trust,preserved in the airless environment of the sea,and those in deep water are especially well protected.No dry land sites anywhere—except perhaps Egyptian tombs—are in a better state of preservation than a vessel deep in the ocean.A sunken ship,therefore,can be a rare window through which a moment in time is glimpsed.

This is not to imply that sunken ships are always found intact.Most ships break up on the way down,hit the bottom at about 100 miles per hour,and become a chaotic,confusing jumble(混亂的一堆).I recall the chagrin(懊惱)of a novice diver who ,after surfacing from an underwater tour of a 400-foot ship,asked his diving buddy.“Where was the wreck?” It takes experience to actually know sunken ship when one sees it.

But no matter what its condition on the way down,a ship deteriorates much more slowly as it sinks deeper into protective layer of sand and mud.Ancient vessels have been found in remarkably good condition.In 1997 a group of marine archaeologists excavating(發(fā)掘)a 900-year-old wreck recovered engraved glassware,Greek coins,bronze kettles,and amazingly,Greek jars containing seeds,almonds,and lentile—even a plate with chicken bones.

36.Which of the following is meant by the“priceless treasure”metioned in line 2?A)Valuable information.B)Ancient coins.C)Precious stones.D)Old books.

37.The author compares a sunken ship preserved in the deep sea to which of the following?

A)A tomb in Egypt.B)A Greek jar.C)A vacuum.D)A bronze chest.

38.According to the passage,which of the following usually happens to a ship as it sinks?

A)It remains in an upright position.B)It gets transported by the currents.

C)It breaks into pieces.D)It attracts marine life.

39.Which of the following objects found on the 900-year-old wreck most surp rised the author?

A)Money.B)Jars.C)Chicken bones.D)Glassware.

40.Which of the following features of an ancient ship is of most interest to the author?

A)Speed.B)Contents.C)Location.D)Design.

試卷二 Paper Two

Part ⅣShort Answer Questions(15 minutes)

Directions:There is 1 passage in this part with five questions or unfinished statements.Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words(not exceeding 10 words)

Icebergs are among nature’s most spectacular creations,and yet most people have

never seen one.A vague air of mystery envelops them.They come into being-somewhere-in faraway,frigid(寒冷的)waters,amid thunderous noise and splashing turbulence,which in most cases no one hears or sees.They exist only a short time and then slowly waste away just as unnoticed.

Objects of sheerest beauty,they have been called.Appearing in an endless variety of shapes,they may be dazzlingly white,or they may be glassy blue,green or purple,tinted faintly or in darker hues.They are graceful,stately,inspiring in calm,sunlit seas.

But they are also called frightening and dangerous,and that they are—in the nig ht,in the fog and in storms.Even in clear weather one is wise on stay a safe distance away from them.Most of their bulk is hidden below the water,so their underwater parts may extend out far beyond the visible top.Also,they may roll over unexpectedly,churning the waters around them.

Icebergs are parts of glaciers that break off drift into the water,float about awhile,and finally melt.Icebergs afloat today are made of snowflakes that have fallen over long ages of time.They embody snows that drifted down hundreds,or many thousands or some cases maybe a million years ago.The snows fell in polar regions and on cold mountains,where they melted only a little or not at all,and so collected to great depths over the years and centuries.

As each year’s snow accumulation lay on the surface,evaporation and melting caused the snowflakes slowly to lose their feathery points and become tiny grains of ice.When new snow fell on the top of the old,it too turned to icy grains.So blankets of snow and ice grains mounted layer upon layer and were of such great thickness that the weight of the upper layers compressed the lower ones.With time and pressure from above,the many small ice grains joined and changed to larger crystals,and eventually the deeper crystals merged into a solid mass of ice.

Questions:

71.Why does the author state that icebergs are rarely seen?

72.Why are icebergs dangerous according to the passage? 73.What do icebergs originate from?

74.In line 16,the expression “from above” refers to ____.

75.What’s the author’s attitude toward icebergs?

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension

Passage One

【文章大意】文章第一段講述了玉石數(shù)千年來作為婦女裝飾的用途。第二段講述玉石的制

作過程，切割、打磨玉石一個歷時數(shù)月的過程。第三段講了玉的鑒別，因為玉是最好仿造 的寶石，所以對玉的了解不夠是很易被騙的。第四段講怎樣買到真正的好玉，作者提出了簡

便易行的四點建議即①在自然光下觀察②與真正的好玉作比較③警惕便宜貨④找有聲譽的珠寶商購買。

21.D 由第二段第二句可知：雕琢一塊玉需幾個月的時間。

22.B 由第二段第二句可知：在進行磨光之前，需要修刻成需要的形狀，即“往下減

而不是往上加”。

23.B 由第三段第二句可知：美玉最容易模仿。

24.D 由第三段第四句可知：較粗糙的仿制品是由玻璃和塑料制成的，但它們較易辨

認，因為它們比真的美玉更光滑。

25.C 由最后一段第二句可知：寶玉的價格從幾美元到幾千美元不等。這說明一塊好 的玉值數(shù)千美元。

Passage Two

【文章大意】文章講述美國印第安人在美國獨立戰(zhàn)爭中扮演了重要的角色。盡管他們認為

戰(zhàn)爭是為了爭取美國印第安人的獨立，但不論他們參加哪一方作戰(zhàn)(英國方或美國方)等待他們的結(jié)局都是一樣的，失去自己的土地。文章舉了兩個人物的不同的選擇來說明這樣一個事實。

26.C 這一段的中心意思是：無論美洲印第安人在美國革命戰(zhàn)爭中支持誰，最終他們

都失去了他們自己的土地。文中舉了兩個例子來說明這一觀點。

27.A 在第五句作者介紹說：Mary Brant 是Mohawk 整個Iroquios部落的首領，是印第安事務主管Sir William Johnson 的遺孀。這說明Mary Brant的丈夫曾是政府官員。

28.C 在第九句作者講到：Nancy Ward 在Cherokee民族掌權。這說明她是屬Cherokee部族。

29.A 在第十句講到：Nancy Ward 在與希臘的交戰(zhàn)中作戰(zhàn)勇猛，作為對她的女英

雄行為的獎賞，她成了“Beloved Woman”(“受人愛戴的女人”)。這個職位使她成了婦女協(xié)會的頭領及首領委員會的一個成員。由此可知Nancy Ward是通過她的勇敢獲得她的職位的。

30.B 這道題的題意為：Mary Brant 和Nancy Ward有何共性。作者舉這兩個例子最終

要說明的是，無論印第安人是支持英殖民者還是支持美國，最終都沒有得到應有的待遇。這

兩位領袖人物的行為說明她們各自都用自己的行為影響了各自部落在革命戰(zhàn)爭中的作用。

Passage Three 【文章大意】文章第一段講述了人體骨頭的運動是由肌肉拉伸控制的。作者具體解釋了肌肉控制骨骼運動的過程，位于皮膚和骨架間的肌肉附著在骨頭上，當其收縮時便帶動了相應骨骼的移動。第二段強調(diào)了肌肉只能收縮，不能伸展，作者通過胳臂的收縮，伸展和扭轉(zhuǎn)運動講述了不同肌肉間如何相互配合完成多種不同的手臂動作。

31.B 在第三句談到；肌肉組織具有縮短自己的特殊能力，其用處是使它所附在其上的骨胳可以運動。這說明，當肌肉縮短時，便會產(chǎn)生運動。

32.B 在第九句后半部分說到：肌肉所附著的將被移動的骨胳的那個點稱為附著(insertion)。

33.A 這句話的意思為：有的時候，肌肉所需做的不僅僅是單方面的拉。這里的“cal

led upon”是“required”或“needed”的意思。

34.B 這一道題的題意為：用于彎曲胳臂的肌肉骨胳運動的相反運動需要??。從第

一段第二句話可知：伸直胳臂需要胳臂背面的其他肌肉縮短。也就是需要用不同的肌肉。

35.D 在最后一句中說到：要能做轉(zhuǎn)動運動，肌肉必須以一定的角度附著在骨胳上。

這說明某些骨肉以一定的角度附在骨胳上是為了能做轉(zhuǎn)動動作，故D正確。

Passage Four

【文章大意】文章第一段講在海底成千上萬的沉船中，只有不到百分之一的裝有財寶，大

部分沉船的價值在于給我們提供一個了解歷史的窗口，因為沉船在深海中得到了極好的保護。第二段講了多數(shù)沉船都四分五裂，辨認尚屬不易，故沉船的價值不在于它的完整。那么又是什么呢?是沉船上的物品。最后一段說明了這一點。總之，全文講述沉船的歷史價值往往在于船上的物品，雖然沉船在深海底部保存得較陸上好得多，但其在下沉過程中破壞較大，有時沉到底部時已成為難于辨認的亂七八糟的一堆，但沉船上卻能發(fā)現(xiàn)完好的物品。透過這些物品，我們就可以了解歷史，了解過去。

36.A 從上下文可知；在眾多的沉船中，僅有不到1%的船里有如金子和首飾類的可流

通的財物，大部分沉船給我們的是另一種珍貴的寶物——歷史。這說明，“珍貴的寶物”

在此指的是歷史，即這些沉船告訴我們一些有關不同時代的信息。

37.A 在第一段第四句講到：也許除了埃及的古墓之外，陸地上沒有哪個地方比深海

能更好地保護船只了。由這句話可知：作者把保護在深海里的沉船比作埃及的古墓。



38.C 在第二段第二句講到：大部分船在下沉過程中破碎。

39.C 在最后一句中作者介紹說：1977年，一組海洋考古學者發(fā)掘了一只有900年歷史的沉船，復原了雕刻的玻璃器，希臘硬幣，銅壺，更令人吃驚的是希臘的裝有種子、杏仁、小扁豆的罐，甚至一只盛有雞骨頭的盤子。這說明，最令作者吃驚的是雞骨頭。

40.B 在最后一段及第一段作者分別談到的是船內(nèi)的東西。這說明作者最感興趣的是

古船裝載的東西。

Part Ⅲ Vocabulary and structure

41.C 譯文：他發(fā)現(xiàn)不值得為他可能遇到的最壞可能做好準備。解析：find it(賓 語)+形(賓補)+to do(真正賓語)為固定結(jié)構(gòu)。worthwhile常用于本固定句型中：worthy 也是形容詞，做表語時需接of。

42.C 譯文：我寧愿他給我一個新的而不是找人把那個舊的修理一下。解析：would rather 前后用不同的主語來表示“某人寧愿讓另一個人做某事”。在這種情況下從句中謂語動詞，一般用過去式表示現(xiàn)在或?qū)硪龅氖隆．斦劦竭^去的動作時，用過去完成時。

43.D 譯文：如果我來解決這個問題，我將用不同的方式。解析：此句的條件句是

對將來事實的推測，所以應用were to +v.

44.A 譯文：如果所有不同的民族行為都很相似，這個世界將會非常單調(diào)。解析：a like 是副詞，表示“以相似的方式”；likable意為“讓人喜歡的”；likely是形容

詞，意為“可能的”；like是動詞。

45.A 譯文：“液體之所以像固體一樣是因為他們都有一定的體積”。

解析：本題考點為in that的用法。此題為in that作連詞引出一個原因，意為“因為，由于”。例如：I am happy in that I have a good job 我很快樂，因為我有一份好的工作。此外that還可和其他介詞構(gòu)成搭配，如：except that(要不是，但是)but that(而不是)等。

46.B 譯文：樂曲非常微弱，我很難聽到。解析：faint用來指覺察到的東西“微弱 的”；vague常指某種想法，意見等不明確，意為“不清楚的，模糊的”；tedious“為沉悶的，乏味的”；peculiar(to)為“獨特的，特有的”。

47.D 譯文：電視是另外一種既可以讓我們聽到，又可以讓我們看到演出者的主要交 流工具。解析：句中permit與句子主語呈主動關系，故可排除A和B。C中不定式作狀語表示目的，此處語法正確，但hearing不合語法。因為to see 和to hear 為as well as 連接的平行結(jié)構(gòu)。故選D，D中現(xiàn)在分詞短語做狀語表示補充說明。

48.D 譯文：那位老人非常幸運，活過了這次心臟手術。解析：come through 指經(jīng)歷危險后“活了下來”。而come to 為“蘇醒”；come across為“偶然遇見或發(fā)現(xiàn)”；come up with為“拿出或提出(辦法、答案)等。

49.C 譯文：塑料纖維做成的衣服同那些由自然纖維(例如：棉花，羊毛和絲)做成的

布相比：有一些優(yōu)點。解析：clothing是衣服、被褥的總稱，不能用one 或the one 來指代。what相當于先行詞+that,后邊需跟一個從句，而made of natural fibres是一個過去分詞短語，不是從句所以D項也不能入選。只能用代詞that來指代clothing.

50.C 譯文：人們錯誤認為達爾文在說猴子是人類的祖先。解析：A項successor意

為“接替人、繼任者”，B項offspring意為“子孫、后代”，C項predecessor 意為“前任，前輩”；D項breeder意為“飼養(yǎng)員，起源者”。根據(jù)句意“人們誤以為達爾文是在說猴子是人類的祖先”，C項為正確選擇。

51.C 譯文：和我一起吃飯，好嗎?解析：祈使句和感嘆句之后可以加一個附加疑問

句，使口氣變得客氣一些。

52.D 譯文：“傾盆大雨接連不斷地下了一個多星期了，致使很多地方發(fā)生了滑坡”

。解析：據(jù)句意可知，此處用完成進行時，又因動作發(fā)生在過去的過去，故用過去完成時

。注意“rain cats and dogs”為習語，意為“下傾盆大雨”。

53.A 譯文：—為什么史密斯先生沒有加入國際學生組織?—他反對我們收會費。解 析：在動詞短語object to 后必須用名詞或動名詞做賓語。動名詞前面可以加一個物主代詞或名詞的所有格來表示這一動名詞的邏輯主語。其他三個選項不合語法。

富于想象

力的，想象豐富的”；B項為imagine的分詞形式；C項imaginary意為“虛構(gòu)的”；D項imaginable意為“可以想象得到的”。

57.A 譯文：這位誠實的老人被控這項罪名而受到起訴是不公平的。〖JP2〗解析：

accuse 和charge 都可表示“控告”，但用于不同的結(jié)構(gòu)。即分別用于accuse sb.of sth.和charge sb.with sth.結(jié)構(gòu)中，表示為“控告某人犯了某罪”。而blame為“指責”，用被動式時，后接for;sentence為“判刑”，后接to。

58.A 譯文：英語對理工科的學生來說很重要。解析：在英語中，of加上一

類表示性質(zhì)、質(zhì)量、顏色、大小、類型、出身等詞(其中有不少抽象名詞并沒有相適的形容 詞)可以用來表示特征，這種of+抽象名詞的結(jié)構(gòu)，在句中除做表語外，還可做定語和補足語。此句中of importance相當于形容詞 important，類似的一組表達法有：be of importance(help,significance,value,use,etc.)。

59.B 譯文：現(xiàn)在，由于家用電器，家務活變得比以前容易得多了。

解析：appliances 常用于指家用電器；而instruments則多指精細工作或科學上所用的“精密儀器”；apparatus指“一套儀器；一套器械裝置”；facilities“設備”，指使工作便利的工具或環(huán)境。

60.D 譯文：海倫不知道我修理房子花了多少時間，如果她發(fā)現(xiàn)了的話，我敢肯定她永遠也不會原諒我的。解析：主句為一個錯綜虛擬句。從句是與過去事實相反的假設，而主句則表示與現(xiàn)在事實相反，故用would do 而A、B、和C、都不是虛擬句式。

61.B 句意：他剛到，她就開始埋怨。

解析：在英語中以下四個副詞 hardly,barely,scarcely 和no sooner 位于句首要引起主謂倒裝。要注意以下兩點：①記住它們的固定連接方式：hardly/barely/scarely...when;no sooner...than;②以上四種結(jié)構(gòu)主句中的謂語動詞用過去完成式，從句中的謂語用過去式。A、C、D三項結(jié)構(gòu)時態(tài)不合要求。

62.B 譯文：冰在加熱后，就會變成水。

解析：分詞作狀語時，它的邏輯主語應是句子的主語。當句子的主語是分詞動作的發(fā)出者，用現(xiàn)在分詞；當句子的主語是分詞動作的承受者，用過去分詞。本題中，主語ice是heat動作的承受者，它們之間是一種被動關系，該用過去分詞；為了強調(diào)分詞短語所表示的是時間狀語，在其前加上連詞when，故B項為正確答案。

63.D 譯文：你得有相隔約10米的兩棵樹，用它們來支撐你的帳篷。 解析：which指前面的two trees意為“在兩樹之間懸掛帳篷”。本句逗號后相當于非限制性定語從句，there 和them均非關系代詞，where雖然可作關系副詞，但不能指代前面的two trees。

64.B 譯文：有證據(jù)表明，某些具體的聲音，即使是六個月大的嬰兒也能夠辨認出來。

解析：that引導同位語從句，說明evidence其他三個詞不能引導同位語從句。

65.C 譯文：湖邊上曾經(jīng)有一些樹，是嗎?解析：There used to 句型上相當于ther e be句型，所以此處用be提問。動詞的數(shù)應與后面的名詞一致。

66.B 譯文：由于他不喜歡這個電視節(jié)目，他換到另一個頻道。

解析：switch to 用于帶按鈕開關等物體的扭轉(zhuǎn)、轉(zhuǎn)換。也可指轉(zhuǎn)換話題；而convert to 指“從一種形式或用途轉(zhuǎn)換成另一種”。turn to 意為“開始工作；開始動手”；change into為“改換成”。

67.D 譯文：沒有那些龐大的機器的幫助，這條河上的大橋不可能在去年建成。解

析：這是由without引起的虛擬語氣。由last year可知此句與過去事實相反，故用could+完成體。should+完成體表示過去該做某事而實際上卻沒有做。

68.C 譯文：電臺、電視和出版社是三種最常見的傳遞新聞和信息的方式。

解析：名詞前有幾個修飾成分時，其排列順序一般為：限定詞→描繪形容詞→表示大小，新舊的形容詞→表示顏色的形容詞→表示類別的形容詞→表示類別的名詞→名詞中心詞。

69.C 譯文：從現(xiàn)在開始，我要隨時知道你過得怎么樣。解析：此處需用過去分詞

做補語，keep myself informed of 意為“隨時使自己得知”。現(xiàn)在分詞informing 意為“通知(他人)”，且跟從句時，不需用of,故B不對。

70.A 譯文：請務必把這些信送到郵局。解析：see(to it)that為固定結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“務必使??，保證使??”。

Part Ⅳ Shortanswer Questions 71.They exist only a short time 由第一段最后一句即可知答案。

72.most of their bulk is hidden below the water 由第三段第三句即可知答案。

Laid-off Workers Need Help

A total of 11.5 million workers had been laid off from the country’s money-losing or bankrupt enterprises by the end of last year,and the figure is expected to continue to rise as technology becomes more advanced and in-depth reform of state-owned enterprises takes off.

Helping to solve the re-employment problem is of vital importance to the country’s reform,development and stability.Although financial aid may help temporarily,the lasting remedy is to provide vocational training to the laid-off workers and those in danger of losing their jobs.Many laid-off workers have low technical ability,so they cannot find new jobs.Some people are skilled at their jobs,but when they are laid-off,they must learn new skills to shift to new jobs.Some statistics indicates that trained workers are three times as likely to be re-employed as those who did not participate in training programmes.

Are employment oriented training network should be formed immediately to cover as many laid-off workers as possible to enhance their abilities to face challenges.In addition,facilities and employment centres run by trade unions should join hands with local authorities to provide timely job information for the laid-off workers.

Social Practice of College Students.社會實踐

1）各大學在假期都會組織學生參加各種社會實踐活動2）這些活動給大學生帶來了哪些好處3）參加社會實踐活動應該注意些什么Social Practice of College Students Nowadays many universities encourage and organize students to take part in social practice activities.During the holidays, more and more students choose to be the volunteers, take part-time jobs, or take part in other practical activities alike.It’s obvious that social practice is playing a more and more important role in China’s college education.Undoubtedly, college students have benefited a lot from social practice.Above all, they are provided with more opportunities to contact the real world outside the campus.Moreover, in social practice activities, students can apply their knowledge to the solution to the practical problems.So their practical skills are improved greatly.Besides, social practice helps strengthen students’ sense of social responsibility.Considering the above-mentioned, I think, it is necessary for college students to participate in social practice.However, social practice may bring some problems.For example, some students spend too much time in taking part-time jobs so as to ignore their study.Therefore, we should try to balance the relationship between social practice and study.Extravagant Spending on College Campus.大學生花銷1）據(jù)調(diào)查顯示，現(xiàn)在大學生每月的花銷越來越高，很多大學生花錢如流水，根本沒有節(jié)儉的概念

2）分析產(chǎn)生這一現(xiàn)象的原因3）我的看法Extravagant Spending on College Campus According to a survey, in recent years the monthly expenditure of a college student has been on the sharp rise.Many college students spend money like water and have no concept of thrift in their mind.They take it for granted that they spend money from their parents before they enter into the society.This extravagant spending is mainly caused by the following factors.First of all, nowadays most of students are the only children of their families.They are the apple in their family’s eyes and naturally get more care and pocket money.Secondly, with the improvement of living standard, parents can afford higher expenditure of their children.Thirdly, some students like to pursue fashion and trends, which tends to need more money.Finally, campus love is also a possible factor causing extravagant spending.From my point of view, a college student, as a pure consumer, should learn to be thrifty.We should limit our expenditure on daily necessities but not buy whatever we want regardless of their prices.The habit of thrift can help us form right values and is favorable to our future development.Online Games.網(wǎng)絡游戲1）現(xiàn)在有一些大學生沉迷于網(wǎng)絡游戲，家長和學校對此憂心忡忡 2）但有人認為網(wǎng)絡游戲并不是一無是處3）你對此的看法是……Online Games As a product of modern computer and the Internet, online games have become very popular among college students.Many students have enjoyed great pleasure and satisfaction from these games.But as we see, some students lacking self-discipline are too much indulged in these games so that their health and academic performances are affected.This phenomenon has caused much worry from the teachers and parents.However, some others argue that online games are not always harmful.They can train the ability of youngsters to respond to things quickly.Moreover, they can stimulate their imagination and their interest in computer science.More importantly, it does bring college students much pleasure and release their pressure greatly.From my point of view, online games are a wonderful entertainment if you play them in a clever way.When they interfere too much with your study, it is better for you to give them up at once.But if you have enough self-control over them, you can certainly obtain real pleasure and benefit a lot from them.1.目前中國酒駕現(xiàn)象時有發(fā)生2.酒駕產(chǎn)生的原因和危害 3.如何杜絕這種現(xiàn)象Nowadays, the phenomenon of drunken driving has arouse wide concern among the public(在公眾中引起了廣泛關注).Especially the young generation living in metropolis（大都市）, tend to drive after drinking, ignoring the fact that this behavior may pose underlying threat to（對…產(chǎn)生潛在的威脅）their precious life and may even endanger（危害）others.Generally speaking, there are several reasons accounting for this phenomenon.Firstly, the absence of consciousness（意識的確實）of driving security may be one of the leading causes.people participate in more activities or banquets than ever before（比起以前）, where they will drink strong wine（烈酒）.Then, they may get drunk but continue to drive.Secondly, relevant laws and regulations may not have been strictly enforced（嚴格實施）to warn people not to drive after drinking.Drunken driving is bound to generate severe consequence if we keep turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to it（視而不見，聽而不聞）.Firs and foremost, this behavior will directly threaten the safety（威脅…的安全）of drivers, passengers and pedestrians, resulting in traffic accidents, injuries and even deaths.Besides, treating the injured and repairing broken cars means a grievous waste of（令人可悲的浪費）money, time and resources.In view of the seriousness of this problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse.First, it is essential that the supervisory role（監(jiān)管的作用）of laws and regulations should be strengthened to impose heavy penalty on（嚴懲）those who drive after drinking.Secondly, a more extensive education campaign（更大規(guī)模的教育活動）should be launched to arouse the public's consciousness of the importance of driving safety.With these measure adopted, I strongly believe that drunken driving will be things of the past（成為過去式）.使用信用卡的原因： 減輕貧困學生的經(jīng)濟負擔

2、分析產(chǎn)生這一現(xiàn)象的原因

3、你對此的看法是……

There is a growing tendency(越來越多的趨勢)nowadays that people in mounting numbers have participated in（參加）the test for national civil servants.Millions of students are full of enthusiasm about（熱衷于）working as a civil servant.The following reasons can account for this kind of craze.Above all, One of the traditional notions in China is that（中國的傳統(tǒng)觀念之一是）the more stable the work is，the happier the will be.（工作越穩(wěn)定，生活越幸福）.Civil servant, as one of the most stable professions in today’s China, becomes their preferable（更合意的）choice.Moreover, in recent years, the salary and welfare（收入和福利）of civil servants also ranks high(排名靠前)among various professions, which undoubtedly（毫無疑問地）attracts many graduates.Besides, the high social status of civil servants is also a factor that can’t be neglected（不容忽視的）.the craze for civil servant is a phenomenon that requires objective recognition.Graduates should not regard being a civil servant as their only choice, It is difficult to say which is the better trade(行業(yè)).one can become the master of his trade provided he is diligent and tries hard(只要肯努力，行業(yè)無貴賤，行行出狀元).Moreover, If most of high quality talents gather in the government departments，it will be a waste of talents and resources and it will exert a negative impact on the(產(chǎn)生消極影響)long-term development of a nation.1）近年來發(fā)生在校園的意外事件不斷增加，校園安全問題備受關注2）對此我們應該采取哪些措施Campus Security Security issue may sound clichéd, but when it comes to the campus security, we have to take it seriously.Nearly every day, there are reports to the security office on campus that valuable things are stolen away.A surrounding with stealing, mugging

can’t be worse for studying.In such cases, what measures should be taken to improve the campus security? On the one hand, we students should strengthen our security awareness.Once we smell out something unusual, we should report it to the campus guard immediately.On the other hand, more equipment such as monitors should be installed on campus so as to detect crimes as soon as possible.Besides, a proper amount of security guards should be arranged to patrol the campus.In my opinion, campus security will be improved as long as efforts are made on campus.Therefore colleges and universities should try their best to make everyone on campus safe and sound.（總結(jié)觀點段）

1）公共場合是否應該禁止吸煙，說出你的觀點2）論證你的觀點Should Smoking in Public Places be Banned? Nowadays many countries in the world have passed laws to ban smoking in public places.Some smokers claim that their rights are infringed if smoking is forbidden in public places.However, most non-smokers regard the ban as good news.As far as I’m concerned, smoking should be banned in all the public places such as restaurants, theaters and public squares.On the one hand, smoking is harmful both for smokers themselves and others.It is reported that every year smoking causes millions of death around the world.On the other hand, smoking pollutes the air.Just imagine that you sit in a restaurant full of smoke, how can you enjoy your meal there? Besides, smoking is bad for the elevation of a country’s image in the world.I believe if smoking is banned in all the public places, most of us will breathe in more fresh and clean air.And the health condition of all the people will be greatly improved.
