You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:1、大学都用考试来衡量学生的成绩2、考生可能带来的副作用3、我对考试的看法In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?七、最难忘的人Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic The most unforgettable Person I ever Know. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:1、我生活中最难忘的人是??????2、为什么他(或她)令我难以忘怀3、结论In my life I have met many people who are really worth recalling. But perhaps the most unforgettable person I ever know is my English teacher.What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities. First of all, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer—an awakening of a passion for learning. He not only led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of English language and literature, but also aroused our great interest in explorating something deeper in this field. Second, I was attracted by his lively wit. I remember that we students always anticipated his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke chuckles or loud laughs.Although it is nearly two years since I attended his last class, he is the talk of our old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.八、图表作文Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Statistics in People’s Daily Expenses in Xi’an. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:1、Describe the changes indicated in the table.2、The reasons for the change.3、Make predictions about the future tendency.What is shown in the table above indicates that dramatic changes have taken place in the daily expenses in Xi’an from 1995 to 1999. The expenses on food have declined by 30% while those on clothing and recreation have increased respectively by 9% and 7%.There are two factors accounting for these changes. In the first place, the risen income resulting from economic growth plays a vital role in the less expense on food. In the second place, when food presents no worry to the average, people begin to focus more of their interest on handsome appearance and happy leisure time. As a result of such a shift, spending on clothing and recreation increases year by year.From the analyses made above, with the further growth in economy and more changes in life style, the tendency indicated in the table will continue in the better direction.九、压力Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Is Stress a Bad Thing? You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:1、有人害怕压力2、有人认为压力并不是坏事3、我的看法In the past few years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to do something less competitive. They are afraid that the stress and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally.In fact, however, stress isn’t the bad thing it is often supposed to be. Above all, unless it gets out of control, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge, and to give purpose and significance to an otherwise meaningless, idle life. Furthermore, people under stress tend to express their full range of potential and to actualize their own personal worth—the very aim of a human life.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. What we can do is to develop our adaptive abilities to deal with it rather than to escape from it.十、就业Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Jobs for Graduates. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:1、大学生难找工作2、原因很多3、解决的办法Job hunting has always been a headache for college students. Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not. Most serious of all, some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation.The reasons for this phenomenon are various. On the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market. On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country.I reckon this problem can be solved if both colleges.

C Personality Plays a Big Role in Job Satisfaction For the employee, being placed in a position that is comfortable and meets expectations will make the job less stressful and allow a more positive outlook toward responsibilities. It beats the alternative, as going to a job that you are unhappy with could lead to tiredness, burn out, depression and stress. This affects more than just your 9-to-5 routine — it can hurt your family relationships, weaken friendships, and even make you turn to addictive and destructive behaviors like alcohol or drugs. The US Department of Labor suggests that jobseekers prepare for an employment search by understanding themselves and being honest about what they want and expect. Make a list of things you like to do, examine your history and evaluate the jobs and classes you enjoyed the most and why, look over your resume and see what duties your past jobs included, and be honest about what is appealing to you about the particular position you are considering. "I do believe that understanding yourself and your personality type preferences can make all the difference when it comes to finding a career that you love," says Roberts, a career management coach with CareerMasters in Maine. The Labor Department offers several simplified recommendations created for high school students: If you are good at math, then look toward occupations like statistician, engineer, surveyor or actuary(保险精算师). If you love to read or write, consider becoming a librarian, desktop publisher, writer or administrative assistant. Music and arts lovers should look into acting, visual arts, music or design work. Student who enjoyed social studies can become politicians, urban planners, historians or human resource assistants. Other considerations that might be significant: Do you enjoy helping people, working with your hands, fixing things, or interacting with nature? Is it your preference to work alone or in a group? Employees who are unhappy with their current positions, don't like their work environment, feel underappreciated, or believe there is no room for advancement, owe it to themselves to consider whether changing careers is a viable alternative. "Regardless of how my clients come to me, we always step back and look at where they are and how they got there," Roberts explains. "Looking back and analyzing their current situation and the career path they have followed is essential to making good career decisions in the future."1. According to the second paragraph, "the alternative" most probably refers to _____. A: encourage the employee by means of promotionB: giving the employee chances for further studiesC: placing the employee in an unhappy positionD: criticizing the employee without reason2. What do we know about Roberts?A: He has got a master's degree in career management.B: He works for the US Department of Labour.C: He helps jobseekers with practical guidance.D: He has earned a good name for his outstanding work.3. The Labour Department suggests that, when high school students are looking for a job, they should first _____.A: prepare an impressive resumeB: examine their past occupationsC: have some working experienceD: consider their own preference4. As it is mentioned in the passage, when one is unhappy with his current position, he had better _____.A: consult a career manage coachB: think over the possibility of changing careerC: switch to a more promising job immediatelyD: look back on the past career path5. The passage is mostly probably intended for _____.A: jobseekersB: employersC: recent graduatesD: tired employers
B British newspapers are much smaller than they used to be and their readers are often in a hurry, so newspapermen write as few words as possible. They tell their readers at once what happened, where, when and how it happened and what was the result: how many people were killed ,what change was done and so on. Readers want the fact (事实) set out as fully and accurately as possible. Readers are also interested in the people who have seen the accident. So a newspaperman always likes to get some information from someone who was there, which can be given in the person's own words. Because he can use only a few words, the newspaperman must choose those words carefully, every one must be effective (有效). Instead of "he called out in a loud voice", he writes "he shouted"; instead of "the loose stones rolled noisily down the side of the mountain", he will write "they thundered down the mountainside". Because many of the readers aren't very clever, and most of them are in a hurry.1. From the text, we learn that newspapermen write as few words as possible, because readers _______.A: want to know more about the newsB: take no interest in what has happenedC: have no time to read the news carefullyD: pay much attention to the result2. The underlined word "one" in the text refers to _______.A: wordB: newspapermanC: readerD: person3. Which of the following would best complete the text?A: he will keep his writing shortB: he won't care about his writingC: he will give nothing but informationD: he won't make his writing good enough.4. In what way do you think British newspapers have become smaller?A: In a page size.B: In number of readers.C: In number of pages.D: In number of copies5. Which of the following is true?A: Readers are not satisfied with the short news.B: Not many people have time to read the long articles in newspapers.C: Readers find the language of the newspapers exciting.D: Newspapermen try to report as fully as possible.
阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it is painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you're “hot”. That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak(高峰). For some people the peak comes during the time before afternoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later that you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble of some search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do daily work in the afternoon and save taske requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.1．If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.[ ]A．he is a lazy personB．he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC．he is not sure when his energy is lowD．he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening2．Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?[ ]A．No idea of energy cycles.B．Familiar monologues.C．A change in a family member's energy cycle.D．Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family member.3．If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ________.[ ]A．change his energy cycleB．overcome his lazinessC．get up earlier than usualD．go to bed earlier4．You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ________.[ ]A．help to keep your energy for the day's workB．help you to control your temper early in the dayC．enable you to fix your mind upon your everyday workD．keep your energy cycle under control all day5．Which of the following statements is NOT true?[ ]A．Getting off to work with the least effort helps save one's energy.B．Dr Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day.C．Habit helps a person get used to his own energy cycle.D．Children have energy cycles, too.
The "standard of living" of any country means the average person's share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country's standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its capacity(能力) to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment. A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country's natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess perhaps only one of these things, and some regions possess none of them. The USA is one of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has vast natural resources within her borders, her soil is fertile, and her climate is varied. The Sahara Desert, on the other hand, is one of the least wealthy. Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well off as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external(外部的) wars, and for this and other reasons was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country's people. Old countries that have, through many centuries, trained up numerous skilled craftsmen and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled. Wealth also produces wealth. As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin(富余) for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working day.1. A country's wealth depends upon .A. its moneyB. its standard of livingC. its ability to provide goods and servicesD. its ability to provide transport and entertainment2. The main idea of the second paragraph is that .A. the Sahara Desert is a very poor regionB. a country's wealth depends on many factorsC. the USA is one of the wealthiest countries in the worldD. natural resources are an important factor in the wealth or poverty of a country3. What does the underlined word "her" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The Sahara Desert.B. An old country.C. China.D. The USA.4. According to the last paragraph, which of the following is Not True?A. Wealth can produce wealth.B. We should suffer from civil and external wars.C. We should have more skilled people to use the natural resources.D. We should have sound and stable politics and be free from foreign invasion..

Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an (52) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
