Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension(Reading in Depth)(25 minutes)

Section A

Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements.Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.Swiss Re Tower is a typical example of green architecture in London, and what is most remarkable about this building is its energy efficiency.Thanks to its artful design and some fancy technology, it is expected to consume up to 50% less energy than a comparable conventional office building.Green architecture is changing the way building are designed, built and run.Green architecture, a term which only came into use in the 1990s, has its origins in the energy crisis of the 1970s, when architects began to question the wisdom of building enclosed glass and steel boxes that required massive heating and cooling systems.The forward looking architects began to explore designs that focused on the long term environmental impact of maintaining and operating a building.This approach has since been formalized in a number of assessment and rating systems, such as the BREEAM standard introduced in Britain in 1990, and the LEED standard developed by the United States Green Building Council starting in 2000.Going green saves money by reducing long term energy costs;a survey of 99 green buildings in America found that on average, they use 30% less energy than comparably conventional buildings.Green buildings can also have other benefits.The use of natural daylight in office buildings, for example, as well as reducing energy costs, also seems to make workers more productive.Lockheed Martin, an aerospace(航空宇宙)firm, found that absenteeism(曠工)fell by 15% after it moved 2 500 employees into a new green building in Sunnyvale, California.47.Owing to its delicate design and advanced technology, Swiss Re Tower in London uses less energy than those traditional office buildings by.48.Green architecture could date back to.49.Today, when assessing and rating architecture, the long term environmental effect in the maintenance of the building has been.50.Green architectures can reduce expenditure on the maintenance by.51.Besides the benefit of saving money, green buildings can also bring.Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed 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 the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage One

Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.Television is often viewed as an anti intellectual medium.But truly clever people know how to use even the most unpromising material, and that is what Val Curtis and her colleagues at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine have done.They employed the mass market appeal of TV to test a long held, but unproven, hypothesis(假設(shè)): that the emotion of disgust evolved to protect people from disease.They set up their experiment in October 2007, by publicizing it on a BBC program called “Human Instincts”.Viewers were invited to visit a website and, after giving a few biographical(個人介紹的)details, to view a series of 20 pictures and rate each of them for disgustingness on a scale of one to five.They were also asked to choose, from a list of possible candidates, with whom they would least like to share a toothbrush.The results showed that in all seven pairs, the disease distinct pictures were more disgusting than their counterparts.For things like the apparent depiction of bodily fluids, or of a face that had been “enhanced” with spots, that may come as no surprise.But a crowded railway carriage was more distinguishing than an empty one, and a louse more disgusting than a wasp.These last results confirmed Dr Curtis's suspicion that disgust is not, as many disgust researchers believe, just a way of avoiding eating disease bearing materials.Rather, it extends to threats that might be contagious(傳染性的).Indeed, one result of the study was to show that the young are easier to disgust than the old.Another result was that women are more easily disgusted than men.Both of these make evolutionary sense.The young have more reproductive potential than the old, so should be more careful about what they touch and eat.And women are usually burdened with bringing up the children, so have to be disgusted on their offspring's behalf, as well as their own.The results of the toothbrush study made similar sense.Strangers are more likely to carry new bacteria than acquaintances.Hence, of the available choices of toothbrush partner, a postman came off worst, and a lover best.A brush notionally belonging to a weatherman was, however, preferred to the boss's.Clearly the British feel more intimacy with the former than the later.Perhaps it might have been instructive to include a famous television personality among the choices?

52.In the first paragraph television is mentioned to.A)prove that what some intellectuals had claimed is wrong

B)show that TV is an essential part of British people's daily life

C)demonstrate that mass media is a very profitable industry

D)introduce the media through which the survey was advertised

53.The experiment is chiefly done by.A)watching the TV program called “Human Instincts” and filling out feedback forms

B)visiting different websites and making matches between pictures and numbers

C)rating various photos with numbers and selecting from a choice list

D)filling in biographical details and choosing a toothbrush

54.Which of the following is true about the result of the experiment?

A)A spotted face is more disgusting than a picture of bodily fluids.B)A full packed subway is more disgusting than a louse.C)A bleeding face is the most disgusting one.D)A wasp makes people feel better than a louse.55.The results of the experiment make evolutionary sense in that.A)old people are less likely to produce goods for the society than the young

B)people's emotion of disgust is often related to the safety of their children

C)women are more likely to bring up children independent of men's help

D)old people are more likely to be disgusted than women

56.The results of the toothbrush experiment show that.A)a boss is normally less clean and healthy than a weatherman

B)a postman is often dirtier than a lover

C)a public figure is often more popular than a boss in Britain

D)a famous television personality is the best toothbrush partner

Passage Two

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.When it comes to health, the poor are doubly cursed.Not only are they more prone to deadly infectious diseases than the rich, but they have far less access to the means of improvement.Twenty years ago, Paul Farmer, an American doctor and anthropologist(人類學(xué)者), set out to do something about this.Amid the political turmoil(混亂)and poverty of rural Haiti, he created a community based health care system called Zanmi Lasante, or Partners in Health.It not only delivers appropriate, affordable medical treatment to thousands of poor people, but goes beyond the clinic to address the social causes making them sick and keeping them from getting better.As Dr.Farmer argues, improving the health of the poor is not just a medical challenge, but a question of human rights.Tackling the inequality, racism, sexism and other forms of “structural violence” which oppress the poor is as critical as extending the drugs.Or as his Haiti patients put it, medicine without food is like washing one's hands and drying them in the dirt.Unfortunately, Dr.Farmer's powerful message is often weakened by his book's academic tone.It does, however, scream out in passages describing the human face of “structural violence”.It is these personal stories that make Dr.Farmer's anger at such “stupid deaths” so compelling.The good doctor's motives and methods are better described in Mountains Beyond Mountains.This biography by Tracy Kidder traces Dr.Farmer from his unconventional upbringing and unusual education, shuttling(來回穿梭于)between the shacks of central Haiti and the halls of Harvard Medical School, to his later work around the world.Though well written, Mr.Kidder's book also makes for uncomfortable reading.The author is clearly close to his subject, having traveled with Dr.Farmer from the green poverty of Haiti to the tubercular whiteness of Russia.Too close, perhaps.The biographer seems to be seeking his subject's approval, rather than the other way round.Mr.Kidder writes, rather disturbingly, about his fear of disappointing Dr.Farmer, his own pain at wounding him with a critical remark and his relief at the doctor's forgiveness.When Mr.Kidder's health falls, this dependence becomes all the more intense.But rather than compromise the book's equity(公正), this intimacy serves to highlight Dr.Farmer's admirable, yet ultimately irritating, character.As Mr.Kidder observes, “Farmer wasn't put on earth to make anyone feel comfortable, except those lucky enough to be his patients or those unlucky enough to need him.”

57.What makes the “Partners in Health” system unique compared with traditional hospitals?

A)It makes attempts to help the poor on a social level.B)It is aimed at treating poor people for free.C)It is designed to help the poor rise from poverty.D)It offers community help to those who are poor.58.What can be inferred from the last sentence of the second paragraph?

A)Hands should not be dried in the dirt after washing.B)Medicine is also needed for cleaning hands.C)Medicine is not a long term cure to their poor health.D)Food can cure their disease better than any medicine.59.The disadvantage of Dr.Farmer's book seems to be that.A)the plots in the book are not attractive enough

B)the way he tells the stories is not compelling enough

C)the anger he expresses at “stupid deaths” is too strong

D)the tone is not strong enough to arouse people's attention

60.Mr.Kidder's book also makes for uncomfortable reading because.A)Mr.Kidder himself has never been involved in Dr.Farmer's life

B)Mr.Kidder is afraid of making true comments on Dr.Farmer

C)Mr.Kidder's emotions prevent him from independent writing

D)Mr.Kidder is always waiting for Dr.Farmer's forgiveness

61.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that.A)Dr.Farmer only helped those who are lucky enough

B)Dr.Farmer may have severely criticized the society

C)Dr.Farmer was not actually making his patients comfortable

D)Dr.Farmer's job is not to make people comfortable

Part ⅣReading Comprehension(Reading in Depth)

Section A

隨著全球能源緊張和環(huán)境污染日益嚴(yán)重，綠色建筑逐漸成為全世界共同關(guān)注的話題。其特點為減少能源和資源消耗，并盡可能采用新技術(shù)和新材料。

47.nearly 50%

[定位]根據(jù)題干中的Swiss Re Tower可以定位到第一段第二句：Thanks to its artful design and some fancy technology, it is expected to consume up to 50% less energy than a comparable conventional office building.[精解]題目問的是得益于其精良的設(shè)計、先進的技術(shù)，Swiss Re Tower比傳統(tǒng)辦公大樓能節(jié)省多少能源。該句意為“由于其設(shè)計精良，技術(shù)先進，Swiss Re Tower有望比傳統(tǒng)建筑節(jié)能近50%”。題干中的owing to與原文中thanks to的同義，traditional與conventional同義。by在此句中為介詞，表程度相差多少的意思，后面應(yīng)接數(shù)字。故答案為nearly 50%。

48.the energy crisis of the 1970s

[定位]根據(jù)題干中的green architecture可以定位到第二段Green architecture,...has its origins in the energy crisis of the 1970s....[精解]由該段可知：綠色建筑的來源要追溯到20世紀(jì)70年代的能源危機。題目中的could date back to是對has its origins in the energy crisis of the 1970s的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，故答案為the energy crisis of the 1970s。

49.widely taken into consideration in the developed world

[定位]根據(jù)題干中提到的assessing and rating可以定位到第三段第二句：This approach has since been formalized in a number of assessment and rating systems, such as the BREEAM standard introduced in Britain in 1990, and the LEED standard developed by the United States Green Building Council starting in 2000.[精解]本題考查在一系列建筑評估體系中，建筑的維修和保養(yǎng)對環(huán)境的長期影響也在評估之列。根據(jù)This approach has since been formalized in a number of assessment and rating systems可知，這一原則已被成文化，而且下文舉例提到了英國的BREEAM和美國的LEED standard，據(jù)此可知，這一規(guī)則已被發(fā)達國家引起重視?？崭裉幦鄙僦^語動詞，且位于has been之后，故答案應(yīng)為widely taken into consideration in the developed world。

50.cutting long term energy costs

[定位]由題干中的green, reduce將答案定位到原文第四段第一句：Going green saves money by reducing longterm energy costs;...[精解]題目問的是綠色建筑怎樣降低了成本。題干中的reduce expenditure是對saves money的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，by在句中作原因狀語，后應(yīng)接動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞形式，即cutting longterm energy costs。

51.economic benefits

[定位]根據(jù)benefit可以定位到第五段第二句：The use of natural daylight in office buildings, for example, as well as reducing energy costs, also seems to make workers more productive.[精解]題目問的是除了節(jié)省成本，綠色建筑還有哪些優(yōu)勢。根據(jù)下面提到的make workers more productive可知，它還可以為企業(yè)帶來經(jīng)濟效益，故答案為economic benefits。

Section B

Passage One

(52)電視通常被認為是不利于智力的媒介。但是真正聰明的人知道怎樣利用最沒有價值的東西，而這就是在倫敦衛(wèi)生和熱帶醫(yī)藥學(xué)校的Val Curtis和她的同事們所做的事。(52)她們借助具有大眾市場吸引力的電視來測試一個提出已久卻沒有被證實的假設(shè)：惡心的感覺是人們?yōu)榱祟A(yù)防疾病而產(chǎn)生的。

(52)(53)他們的試驗在2007年10月通過BBC一個被叫做“人類本能”的專欄節(jié)目上進行公布。他們邀請觀眾訪問一個網(wǎng)站，在給出一系列個人細節(jié)信息后，(53)觀眾要看20張圖片，并且用1-5分按照令人惡心的程度給照片打分。他們還要從一系列可能的候選人名單中選出他們最不愿意與誰共用牙刷。

測試結(jié)果顯示，在所有七組圖片中，疾病跡象很明顯的圖片比無疾病跡象的圖片更令人惡心。對明顯的體液外流或是有著被“放大了”的斑點的人臉的惡心就沒有什么令人吃驚的了。只是一個擁擠的火車車廂比空著的要更令人惡心，而且(54)虱子比馬蜂更令人惡心。

這些最終的結(jié)果證實了Curtis大夫的懷疑，即惡心不像很多研究惡心的學(xué)者認為的只是一種避免吃帶有疾病的物質(zhì)的方式。其實，惡心可以延伸到可能造成傳染的威脅上。實際上，該研究的一個結(jié)果證實了年輕人比老年人更容易惡心。另外一個結(jié)果是女性比男性更容易惡心。這兩點都有著進化方面的意義。(55)年輕人比老年人更具有繁殖能力，所以應(yīng)該更注意他們接觸什么和吃些什么。而婦女通常是負有養(yǎng)育孩子的擔(dān)子，所以也必須為了后代和自身的利益去惡心。

牙刷試驗的結(jié)果也有同樣的道理。陌生人比熟人更容易攜帶新的病菌。因此，在與之共用牙刷的可選擇項中，郵遞員是最令人惡心的，而愛人則是最不令人惡心的。然而人們好像寧肯和天氣預(yù)報員共用牙刷也不愿意和老板共用。(56)很明顯，英國人對天氣預(yù)報員比對老板感到親近?；蛟S在選項中放上一個著名電視節(jié)目主持人會更有啟發(fā)意義?

52.D)。[定位]由題干定位到首段首句Television is often viewed as an antiintellectual medium.[精析]從原文首段最后一句“她們借助具有大眾市場吸引力的電視來測試一個提出已久卻沒有被證實的假設(shè)”可推知，研究人員只不過是利用電視作為宣傳他們的測試的媒體。第2段首句說“他們在BBC的節(jié)目上公布這個測試”也進一步證明了提到電視只不過是為了引出宣傳該測試的媒介。故D)“介紹借以宣傳測試的媒介”為正確答案。

排除干擾A)“證明一些學(xué)者的聲明錯誤”在原文沒有涉及;B)“證明電視是英國人日常生活的重要部分”并不是文章的中心所在，排除;C)“展示大眾媒體是一個非常贏利的行業(yè)”在原文中沒有提及;故均排除。

53.C)。[定位]由題干中的The experiment定位到第二段首句They set up their experiment in October 2007, by publicizing it on a BBC programme called “Human Instincts”.[精析]原文第二段一直在敘述試驗進行的方式，主要是兩件事，一是給圖片定1-5的等級，二是選擇你最不愿意與之共用牙刷的人。C)“為各種照片評級和進行一個選擇”是對文意的概括，為正確答案。

排除干擾A)“觀看名叫‘人類本能'的電視節(jié)目，并填寫反饋表格”沒涉及試驗，而且試驗里并沒有填反饋表格，排除;B)“訪問不同的網(wǎng)站然后給圖片和數(shù)字配對”不是試驗內(nèi)容，排除;D)填寫個人信息雖然正確，但是后面說“要選出一個牙刷”不是試驗的內(nèi)容，排除。

54.D)。[定位]由題干中的the result of the experiment定位到第三段首句The results showed that in all seven pairs...[精析]由原文“虱子比馬蜂更令人惡心”可以推知D)“馬蜂會比虱子讓人感覺好些”符合文意。

排除干擾原文只是說對于明顯的體液外流或是有著被“放大了”的斑點的人臉的惡心就沒有什么令人驚奇的了，并沒有在體液外流的人體和長滿了斑點的臉之間進行比較，排除A);原文并沒有對擁擠的火車車廂和虱子進行比較，排除B);原文并沒有指明什么最令人惡心，且沒有提及“流血的臉”也排除C)。

55.B)。[定位]由題干中的The results of the experiment make evolutionary sense可以定位到第四段第五句Both of these make evolutionary sense.[精析]聯(lián)系定位句下文“年輕人比老年人更具有繁殖能力，所以應(yīng)該更注意他們接觸什么和吃些什么。而婦女通常是負有養(yǎng)育孩子的擔(dān)子，所以也必須為了后代和自身的利益去惡心。”可以推知人們惡心其實都是和后代的安全相聯(lián)系的。故B)“人們的惡心通常與孩子的安危相聯(lián)系”為正確答案。

排除干擾原文reproductive potential指的是繁殖后代的能力，而非生產(chǎn)食物的能力，排除A);原文雖提及女性養(yǎng)育后代，但并未提及她們更傾向于獨立于男性的幫助之外，排除C);原文并沒有將老年人和女性進行對比，排除D)。

56.C)。[定位]由題干定位到末段首句The results of the toothbrush study made similar sense.[精析]聯(lián)系原文可知，牙刷測試的結(jié)果也是“為了證明人們認為陌生人更容易攜帶新的病菌”。下文提到“很明顯，英國人對天氣預(yù)報員比對老板感到親近”，由此推測C)“公眾人物通常比老板更受英國人歡迎”正確。

排除干擾A)和B)的錯誤在于它們都說老板和郵遞員本身是否干凈，而試驗只是說給人們的感覺，故都排除;D)的錯誤在于著名電視節(jié)目主持人其實根本不是測試選項之一，只是一個假設(shè)，無法判斷其情況，也排除。

Passage Two

提起健康問題，窮人的處境可謂雪上加霜。他們不但比富人更容易患上致命的傳染病，而且他們遠遠沒有能力去改善這一狀況。二十年以前，美國的醫(yī)生和人類學(xué)家 Paul Farmer開始了解決這一問題的歷程。在政治動蕩、貧困嚴(yán)重的海地郊區(qū)，他創(chuàng)建了以社區(qū)為基礎(chǔ)的醫(yī)療保健體系，被稱作“Zanmi Lasante”或“健康之友”。它不僅給數(shù)以千計的窮人提供適當(dāng)?shù)目梢灾Ц兜闷鸬闹委煟?57)而且還越過醫(yī)療層面，想要解決讓窮人得病或很難康復(fù)的社會原因。

正如Farmer大夫所說，改善窮人的健康不是單純的醫(yī)學(xué)挑戰(zhàn)，而是人權(quán)問題。它與不平等、種族主義、性別歧視和其他形式的“結(jié)構(gòu)型暴力”等壓迫窮人的現(xiàn)象作斗爭和發(fā)放藥品一樣緊迫?；蛘呔拖袼暮５夭∪说拿枋觯?58)“提供了藥品而沒有食品，就像洗完了手在灰塵中晾干”。

(59)遺憾的是，F(xiàn)armer大夫的強有力的信息通常被他所寫的書中的學(xué)術(shù)口吻給減弱了。然而該書確實在一些描寫人類面臨“結(jié)構(gòu)型暴力”的篇章中高聲吶喊。但是還是那些他親身經(jīng)歷的故事讓他對“愚蠢的死亡”的憤怒表達得鏗鏘有力。

這位善良的醫(yī)生的動機和方法在《山外有山》一書中得到了更好的描述。這本由 Tracy Kidder 撰寫的傳記，追溯了Farmer大夫非同尋常的成長和教育背景，文字穿梭于海地中部的棚屋、哈佛大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)院的禮堂和他后來在全世界所做的工作之間。盡管寫得不錯，但是 Kidder先生的書讀起來并不舒服。作者本人很明顯和他所寫的人物關(guān)系緊密，他和 Farmer大夫一起到過溫暖而貧困的海地，也到過寒冷而易得結(jié)核病的俄羅斯。(60)可能是因為關(guān)系太親密了，作者好像一直在尋求被描寫對象的贊同。他非?？鄲赖孛枋隽怂ε伦孎armer大夫失望的恐懼和用批評的字眼傷害大夫的痛苦，以及對大夫的諒解所感到的欣慰。

當(dāng)Kidder先生的健康每況愈下時，對大夫的這種依賴性就更加嚴(yán)重。但是，這不但沒有使這本書有失公正，這種親密倒突出了Farmer大夫那令人欽佩而又令人憤怒的性格。正如Kidder先生所寫：(61)“Farmer不是到這個世界上讓任何人都感到舒適的，除了那些幸運地成為他的病人的人，或者那些完全不幸地需要他的人。”

57.A)。[定位]由題干中的the “Partners in Health” system定位到原文首段第四句he created a community based health care system called Zanmi Lasante, or Partners in Health。

[精析]原文首段末尾說“它不僅給大量窮人提供適當(dāng)?shù)目梢灾Ц兜闷鸬闹委煟€越過醫(yī)療層面，想要解決讓窮人得病或很難康復(fù)的社會原因”。由此可推測此醫(yī)療系統(tǒng)與傳統(tǒng)醫(yī)院相比的獨特之處在于It makes attempts to help the poor on a social level.(它試圖在社會層面上幫助窮人)，故A)為正確答案。

排除干擾原文并沒有說免費，而是“提供恰當(dāng)?shù)目梢灾Ц兜闷鸬闹委煛?，排除B);聯(lián)系原文，可知其目的主要是為窮人治病，進而解決讓窮人得病或很難康復(fù)的社會原因，并不是為了窮人脫貧，排除C);D)中community help(社區(qū)救助)太過籠統(tǒng)和泛化，文中僅指有關(guān)治病的方面，也排除。

58.C)。[定位]由題干中的the last sentence of the second paragraph定位到原文第二段末句Or as his Haiti patients aptly put it, medicine without food is like washing one's hands and drying them in the dirt.[精析]原文第二段強調(diào)了一個概念，即“窮人的健康問題其實不是簡單的醫(yī)療問題，還有人權(quán)問題”。藥物只能治愈窮人的疾病，沒有食物，即沒有消滅貧窮就像把手放在灰塵中晾干，手還會臟的，即還是會生病的。據(jù)此可以推知，C)Medicine is not a longterm cure to their poor health(藥物無法使他們長期保持健康)與文意相符，為正確答案。

排除干擾原文只是一個打比方的說法，并非真的說在那里晾手，排除A);原文并非指洗手也需要藥物，這是對原文比喻的誤解，排除B);聯(lián)系原文可推知，食物是保持健康的保證，原文并沒有對藥物和食品的治療功效進行比較，也排除D)。

59.D)。[定位]由題干中的The disadvantage of Dr.Farmer's book定位到原文第三段首句Unfortunately, Dr.Farmer's powerful message is often weakened by his book's academic tone.[精析]該句說明“他的強有力的信息通常被他所寫的書的學(xué)術(shù)口吻給減弱了”，言下之意就是口氣不夠強，故D)“口氣不夠強，很難引起他人的注意”與文意相符，正確。

排除干擾原文并沒有對他的書的情節(jié)進行評價，故A)“書中的情節(jié)不夠吸引人”與原文不符，排除;原文沒有對該書內(nèi)容敘述的方式做出評價，故B)認為“其內(nèi)容敘述方式不夠吸引人”與原文不符，排除;他對“愚蠢的死亡”的憤怒表達得鏗鏘有力是該書的優(yōu)點，與題干所問不符，故排除C)。

60.C)。[定位]由題干可以定位到原文第四段第三句Though well written, Mr.Kidders book also makes for uncomfortable reading.[精析]原文第四段最后兩句說“作者好像一直在尋求描寫對象的同意，他非?？鄲赖孛枋隽怂ε伦孎armer大夫失望的恐懼和用批評的字眼傷害大夫的痛苦以及對大夫的諒解所感到的欣慰”。由此推測，他對大夫的情感使他不能獨立地寫作。故C)“Mr.Kidder的感情妨礙了他寫作的獨立性”正確。

排除干擾由原文“他和 Farmer大夫一起到過溫暖而貧困的海地，也到過寒冷而易得結(jié)核病的俄羅斯”可推知，兩者曾在一起生活過，故排除A);原文只是說Mr.Kidder在寫作上考慮了Dr.Farmer的認同，并沒有說他害怕做出真實的評論，故排除B);原文說道該書中已經(jīng)描寫了Mr.Kidder在得到Dr.Farmer的諒解后所感到的欣慰，故D)“他還一直在等后者的諒解”錯誤，也排除。

61.B)。[定位]由題干中的from the last paragraph可以定位到末段。

[精析]原文末段說“這種親密倒突出了Farmer大夫那令人欽佩而又令人憤怒的性格”。Kidder先生寫道，“Farmer不是到這個世界上讓任何人感到舒適的”，由此推知，他對社會的種種不平等，特別是“結(jié)構(gòu)型暴力”非常憤怒，因此很可能曾嚴(yán)厲地批評過這個社會，因此才會“讓很多人感到不舒服”，故B)正確。

排除干擾原文說，能得到Farmer醫(yī)治的人是幸運的，并非說只幫助那些足夠幸運的人，A)與原文不符;C)錯誤，原文說除了那些幸運地成為他的病人的人，或那些完全不幸地需要他的人，F(xiàn)armer不是到這個世界上讓任何人感到舒適的，意思并非讓他的病人不舒服，排除;D)忽視了其作為醫(yī)生為病人治病，給人帶來健康的一面，故排除。

第二篇：大學(xué)英語四級預(yù)測作文

Topic 1: On the Popularity of Internet-based Instruction 1.現(xiàn)在許多大學(xué)紛紛開設(shè)網(wǎng)絡(luò)課程 2.網(wǎng)絡(luò)課程學(xué)習(xí)的利與弊

3.我的觀點

With the rapid development of information technology, there is a boom in Internet-based instruction.Most of the universities offer online courses which have gained much popularity among students nowadays.This new way of teaching brings many advantages.Firstly, it gives much convenience and freedom to students.Students can study at any time and any place as they like, even in pajamas.Secondly, it is very economical because students are not required to come to the campus, and schools can cut the expenditure on electricity and water supply, doorkeepers’ payment, park lots maintenance and so on.But online learning has drawbacks as well.One of them is that there is no effective way to ensure that students make the required efforts.As for me, I prefer the traditional way of teaching.The face-to-face communication with teachers can give me more encouragement.As a matter of fact, the direct guidance and class interaction benefit me a lot.Topic 2: On Overseas Study 1.有人認為海外留學(xué)好處頗多 2.有人反對這種觀點 3.我的看法

Like anything else, overseas study has both advantages and disadvantages.The main benefits of studying overseas are as follows.In the first place, the overseas students can benefit greatly from the higher academic level and the more advanced research facilities in some famous universities.In the second place, it’s the best way to understand a new culture and its people and language.Last but not the least, the experience will be invaluable to character building, making most students more independent, diligent and enterprising.However, the negative effects are also obvious.To begin with, if a person does not make full preparations before going abroad, he will have great difficulty adapting to the new environment.What’s more, the cultural differences will hinder the regular life in many ways.Finally, money is always a big problem.Many students have to find

In conclusion, the advantages of overseas study outweigh its disadvantages.Once they return home, the overseas students will make great contribution to our motherland.Topic 3: Going on Study or Going to Work? 1.有些人決定畢業(yè)后讀研 2.有些人決定找工作 3.我的看法

Currently, the major dilemma which most students face upon graduation is whether to continue pursuing postgraduate studies or to find a job immediately.Those who decide to go to work immediately cannot wait to put what they have learned into practice.They believe that only by application can they master knowledge in the real sense.Most important of all, they can live on their own and have the feeling of accomplishment for the first time.Other people, however, believe that if a person wants to be an expert in a specialized field, four years in university is far from enough.The best way is to choose a direction and study it in depth.It is not late at all when they go to work, because they start at a much higher level.No matter which choice a student will finally make, he has to be extremely careful to look into his unique situation and consult the predecessors for their advice.He will make the right choice if he knows his goal in life and how to turn it into reality.Topic 4: Stepping Away from Online Games 1.現(xiàn)在有許多大學(xué)生沉溺于網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲

2.這一現(xiàn)象給大學(xué)生帶來的影響 3.建議大家遠離這種消遣方式

Nowadays, more and more college students are addicted to online games.Those games may be fun and exciting, but are very harmful to those addicts.In my opinion, there are many disadvantages of game addiction.Firstly, online games take up a lot of players’time for study.Many of the addicts found themselves forced to drop out of school for poor

academic performance.Secondly, addicts tend to isolate themselves from the reality.What’s worse, indulging in the virtual world for a long time, they are more liable to suffer mental problem and physical collapse.Finally, players are exposed to too much violent and unhealthy material, which is definitely harmful to their growth.In short, I cannot see any benefits from online games.Studying should be the primary concern of college students.Therefore, I do hope they can step away from online games.Topic 5: How to Eliminate Cheating on Campus? 1.當(dāng)前校園中存在許多作弊現(xiàn)象 2.如何解決這一問題

Nowadays, instead of listening attentively in class and working hard after class, a number of students adopt all kinds of dishonest methods to get high scores in examinations.It has become such a serious problem that it has aroused the concern from the whole society.To put an end to such a serious problem, in my mind, it calls for the efforts from all sides.First of all, the university authority should make it clear that any cheating behavior in the examinations, from whispering, copying, and receiving answers via mobile phones to asking ringers for help, will be severely punished with no exception.Moreover, teachers of all subjects should go all the way to restore honesty by setting an example for the youth through speaking sincerely and behaving truthfully.Last but not least, young students, the future of our nation, should view integrity as the prerequisite to an upright and responsible citizen so as to learn to despise and fight against dishonest behaviors throughout the life.Only when all of us join in the efforts of eliminating cheating at all levels can we expect to have a cleaner society and a more beautiful future.Topic 6: Should Basic Living Skills Become Compulsory at

School? 1.一些人認為基本生活技能也應(yīng)該成為中國學(xué)生的必修課 2.反對者則認為，學(xué)生應(yīng)在家里逐步學(xué)習(xí)基本生活技能 3.提出自己的觀點

In many developed countries, the teaching of basic living skills

has long been much stressed.Then some people consider this course should also be listed compulsory at school in China.They believe it’s a most useful form of education, which will benefit students for the rest of their life.However, another group of people insist the new course is unnecessary despite its well-meaning intention.In their opinions, the teaching of basic living skills is family’s responsibility, instead of school’s obligation.Moreover, the development of basic living skills is a process, not something that examinations can impart to students.For my part, I agree encouraging students to develop basic living skills is a good thing, but the unsuitable education environment in China has to be noticed.Besides, the heavy study burden on students, if more classes are added, should also be taken into account.Therefore, I don’t think it’s time to make basic living skills compulsory at school for the time being.Topic 7: Private Schools and Training Schools 1.社會上存在著各種私立學(xué)校和培訓(xùn)學(xué)校 2.私立學(xué)校和培訓(xùn)學(xué)校的利與弊

3.我的觀點

With the development of the society and economy, there arise various private schools and training schools, which mainly deal with foreign languages, computers, music, sports, and so on.However, is it good to have so many private schools and training schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools and training schools concerning their advantages and disadvantages.On the one hand, private schools and training schools can meet the special need of some people, and help them to improve themselves.On the other hand, they often bring the parents and family heavy economic burden because of their high fees, and put mental pressure on students because of the fierce competition.As for me, I will not choose a private school or training school just to go with the stream.First, it is not difficult for us college students to teach ourselves.Second, we should do something to lessen the burden of our family.Make reasonable choices when facing fashion.Topic 8: On College Students Occupying Seats

1.大學(xué)校園里占座是很普遍的現(xiàn)象 2.針對這一行為，人們持不同意見 3.我的看法

On campus, it is a common phenomenon for students to occupy seats.In the library, classrooms, and even the canteen, you can find books and pens claiming the temporary usage of the tables and seats.This issue has aroused public concern.Some people hold that it is wrong and impolite behavior which should be fought with.While others argue that students should not take the blame since colleges fail to provide sufficient teaching resources.There is probably some truth in both sides.As to me, I’m in favor of the former argument.For one thing, occupying seats inevitably worsens the problem of resource shortage.The seats will remain empty until the occupiers come.For another, taking up seats does harm to the harmonious campus atmosphere when friendship and modesty give way to improper competition.Therefore, I strongly oppose this kind of act.Topic 9: Should College Students Have a Credit Card? 1.目前，許多在校大學(xué)生都擁有一張甚至幾張信用卡

2.大學(xué)生使用信用卡的范圍

3.你認為大學(xué)生是否有必要持有信用卡

At present, credit cards, the once exclusive possessions of the rich, have become quite popular on campus.Some college students hold more than one credit card.They use credit cards to buy a variety of goods，such as clothes, stationery, electronic products and other expensive goods.What’s more, they also use credit cards to pay mobile phone bills and other bills.In my opinion, credit cards are not necessities for college students.With credit cards, some students tend to purchase goods on impulse.They can get temporary satisfaction this way;however, hot-headed purchase will leave a heavy financial burden on students.Worse still, if they cannot repay debts on time, their dishonest behavior will be recorded.In a world of credit, such a record is definitely unfavorable to the students.Topic 10: On Accommodation Arrangements

1.有些人認為要為學(xué)生提供“單人宿舍” 2.有些人認為“集體宿舍”更好 3.我的觀點

There is still no consensus of opinion among people as to the accommodation arrangements—separate room or dormitory.Some people strongly stand by the former idea.For one thing, they believe the separate room enables student to enjoy the freedom of flexibility;for example, they can regulate the time schedule according to the personal requirements and decorate it on their own demand without interference of others.For another, they have the right to conserve their privacy once the economic condition is available.However, those insisting that students should live in dormitory rather than in separate rooms claim that the former is more practical and easy, for it will not only enhance the emotional exchange among students, but also strengthen the construction of class culture.Personally, separate room, though seemingly more convenient, will exert negative influence on students’ mental health and personal value;while dormitory can improve the above-mentioned situation through natural communications among roommates.Topic 11: My View on Smoking Bans in Schools 1.有些大學(xué)提出校園禁煙令

2.有人認為??，而有人認為?? 3.我的看法

Despite the fact that smoking is harmful to health, there are still many people addicted to such a habit.Considering its great harm to individual and its surroundings, it has been suggested by several schools to issue smoking bans.For instance, the customs like delivering, sending and lighting up cigarette are forbidden and posters on smoking bans are put up.In terms of the usefulness and practicality of such a ban, some people reckon that it will not only help to create the green campus, but also bring benefits to the formation of civilized habit.It has been proved by practice that both smoking and cigarette ends have been greatly decreased since the issue of the smoking ban.However, some people hold that there is no definite punitive measures in the ban, which can only make it a piece of worthless paper with no effect

on eradicating smoking.To wipe out smoking on campus is anything but easy, and smoking ban, though not the most effective way, is intended to control smoking, and hence, I personally believe it will better the current situation.Topic 12: Is EQ More Important than IQ? 1.許多人認為情商(Emotional Quotient)比智商(Intelligence Quotient)更重要

2.我的觀點

Nowadays, many people in the society hold the idea that 20% of one’s success lies in his Intelligence Quotient, while 80% in his Emotional Quotient.People now are more and more aware of the importance of EQ.In my opinion, I fully agree with that.First of all, with a high EQ, one will get along well with his peers and companions, so they can conduct business or finish their work in a harmonious atmosphere and improve the working efficiency.Furthermore, only with high EQ can one be self-restrained and bravely overcome the difficulties encountered in work and life.In brief, a high EQ will make a person become more optimistic, confident and passionate in his work.As the saying goes, one’s character determines one’s destiny, which stresses on the importance of EQ.Therefore, while IQ indeed can’t be ignored, EQ is more vital for one to be successful.Topic 13: Does Personality Decide Destiny? 1.有人認為性格決定命運

2.也有人認為命運是自己把握的 3.我的觀點

Personality is the distinctive character or quality of a person, and it is also believed by many people to be the decisive factor in one’s destiny.The famous American military school—West Point holds the idea for years that personality decides destiny, and now more and more people share this belief.Personality such as sociability, honesty, aggressiveness and stubbornness distinguishes one man from another, deciding his way of dealing with everything.A conservative man would never take the lead in any pioneering path, so we hardly find him in the list of great revolutionists.On the other hand, some people don’t think the above statement valid because they believe that the key to one’s fate is held by no one but himself.Personality is not innate or unchangeable.Harebrained person could also become a great mathematician because he knows his own weak point and would remind himself to be more careful.Where there is a will, there is a way.We are the only master of our own destiny.Finally, I cannot entirely agree with the idea that personality decides destiny;I believe personality might have some influence on destiny, but it cannot decide it.All in all, we hold our fate in our own hands.Topic 14: The Importance of Financial Management 1.個人理財在現(xiàn)代生活中非常重要

2.很多大學(xué)生因沒有正確的理財觀念而產(chǎn)生了許多問題 3.對于大學(xué)生理財?shù)慕ㄗh

Financial management was once regarded as a profound and complicated study, and it was far away from the life of ordinary people.But now, people of all walks of life talk about savings, stock, fund, house property and so on, since the good private financial management can help us not only to spend our money wisely, but also to make greater fortunes on it.Unfortunately, many undergraduates don’t know how to manage their money, wasting a lot of it.Some of them have no plan for their daily expense, so whenever their wallet is full, they can empty it in the next few hours.Other students, on the contrary, know financial management and investment very well.These students are crazy about stocks and funds, but their actions are more like speculation than investment, so failures and liabilities are their usual result.To these undergraduates, my suggestion is to take some courses on personal financial management and to know what the scientific financial management is.The united efforts from parents, schools and society are also important to cultivate the right financial concept of the younger generation.1.目前網(wǎng)絡(luò)上有各種各樣的免費電子書 2.免費看電子書的利與弊 3.我的看法

One of the prominent developments related to the evolution of information technology is the emergence of free e-books online, which are beginning to crop up across the whole Internet.Those e-books do not only involve various fields but are updated at unprecedented speed.Therefore, it is now even not exaggerating to say free e-book is one of the biggest boons for modern human bestowed by information age.However, whether e-book is a boon or a bane is still a topic in dispute.People showing preference for e-books hold that those intangible resources will provide us with information and knowledge without taking space or costing money;what is more, those e-books can be easily accessed through the Internet, not limited by location;Despite all those merits, there are still people arguing that than p-books;besides, there are infringement problems as for free e-books online.As far as I am concerned, free e-books online are the products of information technology and conform to the fast-paced lifestyle, but as for the books with collection value, it is better for us to choose p-books.Topic 16: Is the Ban on Abusive Language Online Helpful? 1.目前網(wǎng)絡(luò)粗話非常盛行

2.禁止網(wǎng)絡(luò)粗話是否有用，人們觀點不一 3.我的看法

The Internet has offered us a free stage for communication, on which we can chat, post, comment and write;however, with the ever more chances to speak and access to vent emotional rages online, some vicious habits have also been nourished.People abuse others undisguisedly or even intentionally and the Internet is congested with foul language.Consequently, it is proposed that the ban on abusive language online should be implemented.As for the function of the ban, people’s opinions vary.Some people are of the opinion that it is helpful to prohibit the spread of abusive language so that the civilized Internet can be established and the quality of Internet users could be improved.By contrast, other people hold that the abusive language can only be eradicated by

-discipline and self-consciousness, which indicates that the ban will make no difference.In conclusion, the eradication of abusive language online, in my opinion, is in dependence on both the bans and self-discipline, only in this way can we achieve the desired effect.Topic 17： Is It Feasible to Build a College in Every County? 1.一些人認為在每個縣城都開辦大學(xué)是可行的 2.有些人則認為這一觀點不現(xiàn)實 3.我的觀點

Nowadays, someone proposes that it is possible to build a college in every county.The current local human and financial resources as well as the effective demand all provide convenience for the practice.However, this proposal has hit a brick wall.Opponents indicate that either the limited financial resources or the uneven regional development makes the proposal of building up a college in every Chinese county only a dream.Besides, those who have taken aim at this proposal contend there is more to setting up a college than simply building a campus.Qualified teachers and a support system are essential, too.It really sounds a fashionable idea to set up colleges in all counties across China, but in my opinion, this is an improper and unrealistic suggestion.Financial support, administrative restrictions and college operation patterns are all the bottlenecks.Thus, it is infeasible to build a college in every county yet.Topic 18： Should Urban Parks Charge an Entrance Fee? 1.有人認為市區(qū)公園應(yīng)該免費開放

2.也有人認為免費開放市區(qū)公園會帶來很多問題

3.我的觀點

The question whether urban parks should charge an entrance fee or not has been a source of controversy for a long time.Supporters claim that urban parks, supposed to be places where people have leisure and entertainment, are public establishments that have been created with taxpayers’ money and thus should be free.On the other hand, opponents maintain that, considering China’s large population and lack of a sense of civic duty, once the parks

are free of charge, they will not be properly managed and will inevitably be damaged.For instance, the problem of parks’ bearing capacity, security and service quality issues will be obvious.So it’s not the time to open urban parks for free.When considering opinions of both sides, I am inclined to the latter view.It’s certain that free entry to urban parks should proceed with economic development, as it needs financial support.Hence, the current economic level in China reflects that free entry to parks can only be realized gradually.Topic 19： Live a Low-carbon Life 1.低碳生活日漸成為熱門話題 2.低碳生活的意義 3.如何做到低碳生活

As more and more people are concerned about climate and environment issues, low-carbon life has become an increasingly hot topic.Actually, low-carbon life is not only a fashionable term, but also a strategic choice concerning the future of human beings.Effectively reducing the carbon emission, low-carbon life constitutes energy conservation and environment protection means, which is helpful to slow down the pace of global warming and environmental worsening, bringing benefit to the future generations.Then how to live a low-carbon life? Everyone can interpret it in their own way in every detail of daily life, but public awareness and passion for saving energy is the key to the success of this campaign.Furthermore, energy-saving habits should also be advocated and promoted, for example,substituting a bicycle for a car, using recyclable bags for shopping, climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator and so on.It’s certain that if enough people live a low-carbon life, everyday and everywhere, it could change history.Topic 20： Starting Career in a Big City or a Small Town？

1.很多大學(xué)生畢業(yè)后留在大城市工作

2.也有人選擇到小城鎮(zhèn)開始自己的職業(yè)生涯 3.結(jié)合實際情況談?wù)勛约旱南敕?/p>

Want to be a small fish in a big pond or the other way round? Every graduate faces this question when starting career.A large

number of them will choose to stay in a big city, which means more opportunities, more space for career development and naturally higher salary.But in recent years, some other graduates intend to start their careers in small towns, where they will bear lower stress and face less fierce competition.In addition, they can be a big fish in a small pond.They can easily get the employer’s attention and may win promotion earlier.As far as I am concerned, I prefer to start career in a metropolis, for I believe that a good start is half the battle.Staying in a big city, I can learn more, experience more and obtain more.1.一些人認為乘客也應(yīng)該為醉駕司機的行為承擔(dān)責(zé)任

2.但多數(shù)人則認為讓乘客為醉駕司機的行為負責(zé)沒有法律依據(jù) 3.我的看法

Some people are of the opinion that passengers sharing a car with a drunk driver but not preventing drunk driving should also be punished, for passengers, a part of the transportation activity, are undoubtedly liable for ensuring public safety.If someone knowingly rides in a car with a drunk driver, they are aiding a crime.Hence, it is necessary and rational to impose certain punishment on passengers for drunk driver.However, a majority of others are opposed to a penalty for passengers.For a citizen to be penalized, he or she must have violated the law.As far as passengers go, they share a car with a drunk driver, but are not driving themselves, nor have they encouraged anyone to drive under the influence.Therefore, to punish them is legally groundless.In my point of view, although the proposal reflects the urgency and determination to crack down on drunk driving, penalizing passengers seems to go too far.Topic 22： Should New Graduates Lower Job Expectations? 1.面對嚴(yán)峻的就業(yè)形勢，很多人認為新畢業(yè)的大學(xué)生應(yīng)該降低他們對自己職業(yè)的期望值

2.但另一些人持反對意見 3.我的看法

Nowadays, most graduates are faced with a tight job market, so many people think that new graduates should lower their job expectations.After all, it is more practical for them to accept a Furthermore, whatever jobs new graduates get, they can obtain valuable working experience, giving them confidence for more demanding jobs in future.However, some others argue that new graduates lose their grounds if they lower job expectations.They believe that a good beginning is half the battle.In this sense, new graduates should start their investment in education should not be aimed at a low return.Personally, I side with the former opinion.It is an indisputable reality that today’s university students are losing their shine, so degrees and diplomas cannot guarantee a new graduate’s success any longer.Lowering job expectations demonstrates a more positive approach to job hunting taken by new graduates.Topic 23： Should Chinese Take a Backseat to English in

Higher Education? 1.有人認為大學(xué)教育中英語比漢語更受重視有現(xiàn)實的原因

2.但多數(shù)人認為大學(xué)教育中漢語不應(yīng)該為英語讓步，而應(yīng)該加大漢語教學(xué)的比重

3.我的觀點

There is a strange “tradition” in China’s higher education, which sees English language courses being compulsory while Chinese is optional.Supporters for this practice hold that Chinese, the students’ mother tongue, should and can be achieved at the early ages.Furthermore, given the strained job market in China, it’s reasonable for university students to turn to English.However, most people advocate giving Chinese a bigger role in higher education.They believe that Chinese, as a knowledge reserve, provides students with more access to Chinese culture and Chinese learning and will breed more knowledgeable and well-educated students.So the mother tongue should be cherished in higher education.As far as I am concerned, I am inclined to be on the side of the latter view.Chinese is the legacy of the whole nation that

represents profound culture and national spirit.Chinese learning, as an indispensable part through one’s whole life, will be of great help in tradition cultivation.Therefore, no matter which stage of education we are in, we should attach great importance to Chinese.Topic 24： Unemployment upon Graduation 1.許多大學(xué)生畢業(yè)后找不到工作 2.產(chǎn)生這一現(xiàn)象的原因 3.解決這一問題的方法

The recent years have witnessed an unfavorable social phenomenon—more and more college students become unemployed as soon as they graduate.After serious thinking, we can find three possible reasons accounting for this trend.First of all, the expansion of universities provides chances for more students to receive higher education, while the job market cannot develop at the same speed.What’s more, the situation gets even worse with those students who uniformly chose the “hot” majors such as economics and accounting.In the third place, many students think too highly of themselves—they will not choose to work at all if they are not satisfied with the job.They may think the pay is not satisfactory or the job is not decent at all.The solutions to this problem seem more than clear on this occasion.The government should help create more job opportunities;university authorities should be extremely careful in expanding enrollment, taking the job market into consideration.Students also should think twice before making the decision.2012年6月四級英語作文預(yù)測

Protect Non-Material Cultural Heritage

As we all know, non-material culture heritage, also called intangible culture, plays an important role in maintaining the continuity of the nation?s civilization and sustainable development.But due to the development of globalization and other reasons, more and more non-material culture heritage are on the verge of distinction.So its protection has become an urgent and important task at present.What is non-material culture heritage exactly? It refers to various manifestations of traditional culture handed down from generation to generation and closely related to people?s life, including various practices ,performances, festivals, traditional knowledge and skills, the related instruments, artifacts and culture places.For example, paper-cutting and Dragon Boat Festival have been regarded as non-material culture heritage not only by our country but also by the United Nations.Then how can we protect the intangible culture? First of all, we can introduce special programs and columns on TV or in the newspapers and magazines to arouse people?s awareness of its preservation.Second, we should have a rational attitude towards the acceptance of foreign culture.Last but not least, we can enforce laws to intensify the protection of non-material culture heritage.預(yù)測作文2.On Graffiti 1.校園“涂鴉”現(xiàn)象隨處可見 2.人們對此看法不同 3.我的看法

Useful words and expressions: 涂鴉：graffiti 惡意破壞：vandalism 【范文】

On Graffiti Nowadays it is very common to see graffiti on campus, such as the graffiti on desks.Sometimes you can even see graffiti on students? uniforms.Some of these graffiti are just cartoons and advertisements which do no harm students.But a lot of them contain unhealthy information which has a bad effect on students.This phenomenon has attracted the public?s attentions.Some say it is not only a way for students to release pressure, but also an expression of art.But others consider it as a form of vandalism and also a reflection of the problems in the school culture.In my opinion, we can turn graffiti into a meaningful activity if students and the school make joint effort.First，student should have a correct understanding of graffiti and find a proper way to relax themselves.Second, the school ought to give students right guidance and professional advice, such as organizing some contests, which can provide space for them to show their skills and creativity.預(yù)測作文3.Suspend Schooling to Work 目前有些大一學(xué)生申請休學(xué)一年到校外打工 出現(xiàn)這種現(xiàn)象的原因是… 你對此的看法 【范文】

Suspend Schooling to Work Currently, some university students are applying to suspend their schooling to work for one year or so.In some colleges, the number is surprisingly big.Here is an example: according to a news report, up to there percent of an art college?s students have suspended schooling to work.Students suspend their schooling to work for various reasons.Some students hope to better understand the need of the society through full-time working and then set more clear-cut objectives back in their study.Some intend to gain useful work experience which may land them an ideal job after graduation.Still, there are students who have to work to pay the tuition and accommodations due to financial problem of the family.Personally, I think it is a good try to suspend schooling to work for a year or so.We can easily see its benefits to both the students and the society no matter what reason mentioned above.Therefore, while emphasizing the issue of safety, college and universities should allow or encourage students to spend more time working and experiencing the society.預(yù)測作文4.Registering Online with Real Names 目前網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲等領(lǐng)域開始實行網(wǎng)絡(luò)實名制 對于網(wǎng)絡(luò)實名制，有人贊成，也有人反對 你的看法 【范文】

Registering Online with Real Names Online games in China will have to begin registering with their real names due to the new government regulations.Netizens may no longer post their comments on websites anonymously either.Because authorities will implement the real-name registration in communication sectors of cyberspace, such as bulletin board system, also known as BBS in short.The new regulations have provoked different reactions from the public.Some people say that they will benefit the healthy and orderly development of China?s Internet, e.g.protecting minors from Internet addiction and helping prevent

irresponsible expression online.Others, however ,oppose the regulations.They are concerned about web users? private information and personal safety.Personally, I think we should tread online real-name registration separately.For example, it?s necessary to use your real name on games shopping websites.but online forums are designed to encourage web user to express their views freely.if required to use real names on bulletin boards, web user may not feel free to express their real thoughts.預(yù)測作文5.Create a Conservation-Oriented Campus 1.建設(shè)節(jié)約型十分重要 2.原因是……

Create a Conservation-Oriented Campus Nowadays, conservation-oriented society has become a household term to all of us.it is our government?s strategy to maintain the sustainable development of society.Thus, the building of a conservation-oriented campus, which is a part of this plan, has a great significance.The creation of conservation-oriented campus can not only benefit the development of students but also the improvement of schools.On the one hand ,students can form the good habit of thriftiness which can have a good influence on their future life.On the other hand ,schools can use the savings to introduce more advanced facilities or recruit more talents which can help improve the quality of teaching.Then how can we build the conservation-oriented campus? Here are several measures we can take.First, we can organize some programs to let students be aware of the necessity and meaning of this proposal.Second, we can do some small things in our daily life, such as turning off the lights in classroom when it is unnecessary, taking care of the teaching facilities, which all contribute to the construction of conservation of conservation-oriented campus.預(yù)測作文6.Killing Time Indoors 1.現(xiàn)在有不少人業(yè)余時間喜歡 “宅”在家里 2.人們對這種做法有不同看法 3.我的看法

Killing Time Indoors Nowadays a growing number of people, especially the 20s or 30s, tend to stay indoors for most of their spare time, especially on holidays, some spend the majority of the time online chatting blogging, shopping, dating or playing computer games.some sit with their eyes glued to the television screen, day and night.People?s opinions vary when it comes to this way of killing time.a great number of people maintain that staying indoors is cheap, comfortable, and most importantly, very safe.Others, however, frown upon staying indoors for too long.they are worried that lack of physical exercise and face-to-face communication with others will do harm to people?s body and mind.Personally, I don?t think staying indoors for most of the day should be advocated.Instead, people in all ages, their physical conditions permitting, should be encouraged to more time outdoors.The brilliant sunshine, the pleasant green space, the interactions with other people, etc.are all good for people?s health, both physically and psychologically.預(yù)測作文7.Restrict Mobile Phone in Library 1 現(xiàn)在有不少人在圖書館的閱覽區(qū)里使用手機 2 這一現(xiàn)象可能帶來的影響 3 我的看法 【范文】

Restrict Mobile Phone in Library As the number of students who have mobile phones increases, problems which are caused by its popularity on campus also rise.One of the problems that have aroused people?s attention is the use of mobile phone in library?s reading room.And this phenomenon becomes so common that you can see someone using it whenever you go to the library.There is no doubt that this behavior will have no good effect.On the one hand ,students who use it can not concentrate on their own studies when they constantly send or receive messages.On the other hand ,with the ringing of the phones and people?s talking ,students around them can be distracted from their reading as well.Therefore, the proper way of using mobile phones in the library must be emphasized.First, use phone?s silent of vibration setting to avoid the disturbance of other students.Second, if you do need to make a call or send messages, you?d better go out of the room or at least try to reduce the volume of your sound and your phone?s sound.預(yù)測作文8.Whom Do You Turn to When in Trouble? 有人遇到困難時向同學(xué)、朋友求助 2 有人則向老師、家長求助 3 以你自己為例 【范文】

Some say they will ask their classmates or friends for help, because they are peers, thus they can understand each other easily.However, others have different choices when in trouble.They are inclined to tell their teachers and parents the difficulties they are faced with.In their opinion, teachers and parents who are much older than them can give them a hand with their rich experience.As for me, close friends are always the people who come to my mind firstly when I?m intrigued by something that can not be solved by myself.If we can not figure out a solution by our joint effort ,I will go to my teachers or parents for help.With their suggestions or instructions ,I can finally find the best way to cope with my troubles.預(yù)測作文9.Should People Keep Bizarre Pets? 1 現(xiàn)在越來越多的人飼養(yǎng)另類寵物 2 人們對這一現(xiàn)象有不同看法 3 你的看法 【范文】

Bizarre trends tend to surface here and there when you least expect them.Who would have thought that people would start a new bizarre trend of keeping unsightly and dangerous animals such as lizards, spiders and snakes as their pets ?Well ,that?s the newest craze now in China.People have different opinions about this trend.Some think that it is natural –everyone likes a pet, whether it is the “ normal ”kind ,such as a dog ,cat and rabbit or the strange ,bizarre type.Other ,however ,oppose keeping bizarre pets.They are afraid that some pets such as snakes and crocodiles can be dangerous and put the owner or neighbors at risk.In my opinion, generally people do have the right to choose and own pets that touch their hearts.However, there are still animals that are illegal to be kept as private pets, especially those dangerous and endangered species that belong in the

wild.So, before attempting to keep these animals, people should check with the local officials.預(yù)測作文10.Should We Help Strangers? 1 有人認為幫助陌生人是一種美德 2 有人卻認為幫助陌生人會給自己帶來危害 3 我認為、、、、、、【范文】

Should We Help Strangers? Helping strangers has always been considered as a treasured virtue of human kind.We need help from others throughout our life, whenever we travel to other places or stay at home.On the other hand, helping others can make us happy.We feel great joy when we are trusted, needed and able to give a hand.However ,some people are cautious when it comes to helping strangers.They say that helping others involves risks of getting hurt or cheated.Lending a hand to a stranger often puts us in a vulnerable position for it means trusting a hand to a stranger often puts us in a vulnerable position for it means trusting someone we do not even know.Moreover ,there are times when we have physical limitations-e.g.we can?t swim but a girl is drowning.If we are blind to that limitation ,giving a hand would conversely take our life.In my opinion, we should still offer what we can do to help needed strangers.Meanwhile, we should beware of getting cheated and use common sense to tell whether the strangers are real needed people or just professional cheats.Detecting anything unusual, we should defend ourselves or turn to the police.預(yù)測作文

Should Chinese Athletes Serve Overseas Nowadays it is not rare that some Chinese athletes, top athletes especially, settle abroad and acquire foreign nationality.When taking part in international games, they represent and play for the immigrated countries instead of their motherland China.To this phenomenon, people have different opinion.Some people condemn these athletes for being unpatriotic.After all, they say, it costed China lots of time and

energy to train them to the top athletes.Others, however, see it in a different way.They maintain that sports should go beyond national boundaries and as long as we can appreciate athletes? excellent performance, nationality really doesn?t count.In my opinion, it is just natural for Chinese athletes to represent other countries in international games, and, it has nothing to do with being patriotic or not.For one thing, everyone enjoys the right to choose nationality.For another, as today?s world goes global, international exchange of athletes is evitable in the process.Athletes going global are just following the trends of historical development.預(yù)測作文12.Text Message on TV Shows

Text Message on TV Shows At present, text messages are widely used in various TV shows,。From serious news programs to different kinds of entertainment programs, we can always see some interactive sessions which all include the use of text messages, such as text-message voting.Is it good or bad? Some people hold the view that it provides a convenient and relatively cheap way of audience to participate in the program.While others think it is nothing but a method which takes advantage of the public?s curiosity and their hope of winning awards to lure them into sending lots of messages that costs them a large amount of money.As far as I?m concerned, text message is a effective medium for the audience to interact with the TV shows, which can arouse people?s for watching the programs, and bring benefits to the TV station as well.But when we are enjoying the merit of it , we should also take the contents and objectives of the programs using text messages consideration to ensure the quality of the TV shows.預(yù)測作文13.Low-carbon Lifestyle

Every since, the World Climate Conference was held in Copenhagen, the term “l(fā)ow-carbon lifestyle” has become a buzzword in our daily life.Everyone ,old or young ,is taking about it and exerting himself to achieve the low-carbon goal of low-carbon lifestyle.What on earth is low-carbon lifestyle? Low-carbon lifestyle means to lower the emission of carbon, especially carbon dioxide, by reducing the energy we use in our daily life.For common people like us, this is an attitude rather than a capacity.Low-carbon lifestyle calls for the active participation of all the people in the process of saving electricity and gas, as well as recycling the useful materials.As collage students, we should contribute to the revolution of low-carbon lifestyle by all means.Firstly, we should avoid using disposable products to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide.Secondly, taking public transport rather than driving is another effective way.Last but not least, both we and the earth will benefit enormously if we eat green food instead of junk food.預(yù)測作文14.The Real-name Train Ticket System Launched

The Real-name Train Ticket System Launched In some southern cities, railway station offices and authorized agencies have begun selling name-based railway tickets.Requiring a valid form of identification, the real-name system said to be effective in curbing scalping, especially during the Chinese New Year travel peak.Though the aim of introducing real-name train ticket is fully justified, it has brought about some problems.One problem is the leaking of personal information.Buyers? names and ID numbers printed on the tickets may be used to make false certificates or for other purpose once the tickets fall into the wrong hands.Another is that the complicated system and check-in process add to the already heavy workload of the railway workers.In my view, the name-based train ticket system is bold try to ensure passengers? security and an effective weapon against notorious scalping, Since it is new-born and needs time to perfect itself, we should treat fairly the current problems it brings.I believe that with people?s awareness of privacy protection enhanced, and with the development of technology, the problem will soon be things of the past.預(yù)測作文15.On Vegetarian 1,近年來越來越多的人成為素食主義者 2.人們對素食的看法不一

On Vegetarian In recent years, more and more people are becoming vegetarian.Some of them choose not to eat meat or fish for health or religious reasons.Some do so because they want to avoid cruelty to animals.People have very different opinions about vegetarians.Some maintain that going vegetarians benefits not only people′s health but also the environment, since human beings are not born to eat meat or fish and vegetarians produce much less carbon.Others, however, argue that a diet consisting completely of vegetables, fruits, grains and nuts fails to provide essential nutrients such as vitamins and fat for people.In this case, it?s more likely that a vegetarian will suffer form malnutrition.Both sides give their reasonable explanation.Nonetheless, whether to be vegetarian, in my opinion, it still depends.For overweight adults, vegetarianism would be a good choice for both their health and body shape, so then should give it a try.However, for underweight people or children who need different types of food necessary for healthy growing, vegetarianism is not recommended.預(yù)測作文16.Should We Resume The Traditional Chinese Characters? 1.有人提出恢復(fù)使用繁體字 2.有人對此反對 3.我的看法 【范文】

Should We Resume The Traditional Chinese Characters? With the increasing exchanges between the mainland and Taiwan or Hong Kong, a problem has attracted people′s attention: different Chinese characters used in different parts seem to stand in the way of the exchanges.So some people propose to resume the traditional Chinese characters.Besides, they say, learning traditional characters helps people know better about our traditional culture.Others, however, oppose the proposal.Firstly, they argue that traditional Chinese characters are much more complicated than the simplified ones.If we bring back the traditional ones, it will add to the difficulty of both writing and reading.Secondly, for foreigners, simplified characters are much easier to learn, which may help popularize Chinese culture.Personally speaking, I don′t see anything wise in the restoring of the traditional Chinese characters.It is obvious that bringing them back will cost a lot of time and energy, because nearly all the mainlanders will have to start form the scratch.In

addition, foreign exchange will be affected with foreigners frightened away by the complicated characters.預(yù)測作文17.Principals Recommending Students to PKU 1.北大開始實行校長推薦制 2.對此有人贊成，有人反對 3.我的看法 【范文】

Principal Recommending Students to PKU Peking University released a name list of 39 high school principals who have the right to recommend outstanding students to the university.According to the university, the recommended students could be given offers without taking the national college entrance examination.As a reform measure of enrollment, the recommendation policy has attracted widespread attention across the county.Some believe it is a new flexible method to recruit all kinds of talent and will supplement the present college entrance examination.Many people, however, are worried that the policy might impair equality in education.They maintain that while an effective supervisory system over the new practice is absence, there will probably be damage to equality and fairness in education.Personally speaking, I?m afraid that Peking University?s recommendation policy might lead to greater education inequality.The policy is supposed to make the recruitment system more flexible, but when only 39 school headmasters have the right to recommend excellent students, is it really a flexible way of recruiting? This policy is nothing but an extra opportunity for these schools.預(yù)測作文18.On Professional Ethics of Doctors 1.目前許多醫(yī)生的職業(yè)道德遭到人們的質(zhì)疑 2.原因是…

On professional Ethics of Doctors Recently professional ethics of many doctors have been questioned.According to a survey on professional ethics violating, doctors were ranked first.Many doctors are

reported to treat patients lightly and take bribes from patients or medicine manufacturers.There are two factors contributing to this phenomenon.One factor is how doctors are paid.Since most doctors are paid according to the quantities rather than qualities of medical services they perform, many of them tend to see more patients at the expense of quality.The other factor is how people see doctors? taking bribes.Doctors? performances concern patients? health and life, and most patients or their families assume that doctors would try their best in the medical treatment if they take bribes, so many doctors take bribes for granted.How should we solve these problems? First, I think it is necessary to carry out reforms in the playing system and encourage doctors to perform high-quality medical services.Second, we should change the attitudes of both patients and doctors and make it very clear that treating and saving people are doctors? duty instead of privilege.預(yù)測作文19.Should We Trace and Reclaim Cultural Relics Lost Overseas?

People?s opinions vary greatly when it comes to whether technology widens or narrows the gap between the poor and rich.Some people think that technologies are widening the gap.The reason lies in the face that poor people are less likely to access the advanced technologies, especially considering the high cost.Others, however, argue that technologies are indeed bridging the gap.Firstly, they say, the availability to the range of technology is making people?s life more efficient, thus ensuring them more time to do some other things, such as a part-time job.Secondly, in the so-called information age when advanced technologies are vital, once people have a sound knowledge of the technology, they can easily find a well-paid job.Personally, I tend to regard technology more as a blessing than a curse.Due to the highly developing technology, most people are given much more chances to be successful.For example, tanks to the popularization of the Internet, everyone can have access to the up-to-date information in both business field and scientific researches, which is vital for their further development.預(yù)測作文23.Spam Massage 1.目前垃圾短信泛濫 2.這種現(xiàn)象產(chǎn)生的原因 3.如何解決這個問題 【范文】

Do we relay too much on computers? Yes, we do.Almost everything we do and every aspect of our life is affected by modern technology with computers above all.We use computers in business, public services, education and entertainment.However, overreliance on computer may give rise to some problems.One is that people are more likely to make spelling mistakes when they have to handwrite something.Another is that people are so dependent on computers that they have lost the ability to think for themselves.If “the computer says XYZ”, then XYZ must be true.If you want to make someone believe you like an idiot, just tell him “that?s what the computer said”.In my opinion, computers make our lives easier but we should never rely on them completely.These machines should be used as a tool to aid work rather than the only tool.Otherwise, chaos can occur when suddenly our computers crash or what is worse, refuse to take our orders.預(yù)測作文30.My Opinion on Blog 1.目前越來越多人開起了博客 2.也會帶來一些問題 3.我的看法 【范文】

As experts ponder how best to rebuild the devastated(毀壞)city，one question is whether to wall off—or work with—the water.Even before the death toll from Hurricane Katrina is tallied，scientists are cautiously beginning to discuss the future of New Orleans.Few seem to doubt that this vital heart of U.S.commerce and culture will be restored，but exactly how to rebuild the city and its defenses to avoid a repeat catastrophe is an open question.Plans for improving its levees an nd restoring the barrier of wetlands around New Orleans have been on the table since 1998，but federal dollars needed to implement them never arrived.After the tragedy，that‘s bound to change，says John Day，an ecologist at Louisiana State University(LSU)in Baton Rouge.And if there is an upside to the disaster，he says，it’s that ‘now we’ve got a clean slate to start from.“

Many are looking for guidance to the Netherlands，a country that，just like bowl-shaped New Orleans，sits mostly below sea level，keeping the water at bay with a construction of amazing scale and complexity.Others，pointing to Venice‘s long-standing adaptations，say it’s best to let water flow through the city，depositing sediment to offset geologic subsidence—a model that would require a radical rethinking of architecture.Another idea is to let nature help by restoring the wetland buffers between sea and city.But before the options can be weighed，several unknowns will have to be addressed.One is precisely how the current defenses failed.To answer that，LSU coastal scientists Paul Kemp and Hassan Mashriqui are picking their way through the destroyed city and surrounding region，reconstructing the size of water surges by measuring telltale marks left on the sides of buildings and highway structures.They are feeding these data into a simulation of the wind and water around New Orleans during its ordeal.”We can‘t say for sure until this job is done，“ says Day，”but the e merging picture is exactly what we’ve predicted for years.“ Namely，several canals—including the MRGO，which was built to speed shipping in the 1960s—have the combined effect of funneling surges from the Gulf of Mexico right to the city‘s eastern levees and the lake system to the north.Those surges are to blame for the flooding.”O(jiān)ne of the first things we’ll see done is the complete backfilling of the MRGO canal，“ predicts Day，”which could take a couple of years.“

The levees，which have been provisionally repaired，will be shored up further in the months to come，although their long-term fate is unclear.Better levees would probably have prevented most of the flooding in the city center.To provide further protection，a mobile dam system，much like a storm surge barrier in the Netherlands，could be used to close off the mouth of Lake Pontchartrain.But most experts agree that these are short-term fixes.The basic problem for New Orleans and the Louisiana coastline is that the entire Mississippi River delta is subsiding and eroding，plunging the city deeper below sea level and removing a thick cushion of wetlands that once buffered the coastline from wind and waves.Part of the subsidence is geologic and unavoidable，but the rest stems from the levees that have hemmed in the Mississippi all the way to its mouth for nearly a century to prevent floods and facilitate shipping.As a result，river sediment is no longer spread across the delta but dumped into th e Gulf of Mexico.Without a constant stream of fresh sediment，the barrier islands and marshes are disappearing rapidly，with a quarter，roughly the size of Rhode Island，already gone.After years of political wrangling，a broad group pulled together by the Louisiana government in 1998 proposed a massive $14 billion plan to save the Louisiana coasts，called Coast 2050(now modified into a plan called the Louisiana Coastal Area project)。Wetland restoration was a key component.”It‘s one of the best and cheapest hurricane defenses，“ says Day，who chaired its scientific advisory committee.Although the plan was never given more than token funding，a team led by Day has been conducting a pilot study since 2000，diverting part of the Mississippi into the wetlands downstream of the city.”The results are as good as we could have hoped，“ he says，with land levels rising at about 1 centimeter per year—enough to offset rising sea levels，says Day.Even if the wetlands were restored and new levees were built，the combination of geologic subsidence and rising sea levels will likely sink New Orleans another meter by 2100.The problem might be solved by another ambitious plan，says Roel Boumans，a coastal scientist at the University of Vermont in Burlington who did his ph.D.at LSU： shoring up the lowest land with a slurry of sediment piped in from the river.The majority of the buildings in the flooded areas will have to be razed anyway，he says，”so why not take this opportunity to fix the root of the problem?“ The river could deposit enough sediment to raise the bottom of the New Orleans bowl to sea level ”in 50 to 60 years，“ he estimates.In the meantime，people could live in these areas Venice-style，with buildings built on stilts.Boumans even takes it a step further： ”You would have to raise everything about 30 centimeters once every 30 years，so why not make the job easier by making houses that can float.“

Whether that is technically or politically feasible—Day，for one，calls it ”not likely“ —remains to be seen，especially because until now，the poorest residents lived in the lowest parts of the city.Any decision on how best to protect the city in the future will be tied to how many people will live there，and where.”there may be a large contingent of residents and businesses who choose not to return，“ says Bill Good，an environmental scientist at LSU and manager of the Louisiana Geological Survey’s Coastal Processes section.It is also not yet clear how decisions about the reconstruction will be made，says Good，”Since there is no precedent of comparable magnitude.“ Every level of government is sure to be involved，and ”the process is likely to be ad hoc.“

Even with the inevitable mingling of science and politics，we still have ”a unique chance to back out of some bad decisions，“ says Good，who grew up in New Orleans.”I hope that we don‘t let this once-in-history opportunity slip through our fingers i n the rush to rebuild the city

Question 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Most shoplifters(商店扒手)agree that the January sales offer wonderful opportunities for the hard-working thief.With the shops so crowded and the staff so busy，it does not require any extraordinary talent to help you to take one or two little things and escape unnoticed.It is known，in the business，as ”hoisting“。

But the hoisting game is not what it used to be.Even at the height of the sales，shoplifters today never know if they are being watched by one of those evil little balls that hang from the ceilings of so many department stores above the most desirable goods.As if that was not trouble enough for them，they can now be filmed at work and obliged to attend a showing of their performance in court.Selfridges was the first big London store to install closed-circuit videotape equipment to watch its sales floors.In October last year the store won its first court case for shoplifting using a evidence a videotape clearly showing a couple stealing dresses.It was an important test case which encouraged other stores to install similar equipment.When the balls，called sputniks，first make an appearance in shops，it was widely believed that their only function was to frighten shoplifters.Their somewhat ridiculous appearances，the curious holes and red lights going on and off，certainly make the theory believable.It did not take long，however，for serious shoplifters to start showing suitable respect.Soon after the equipment was in operation at Selfridges，store detective Brian Chadwick was sitting in the control room watching a woman secretly putting bottles of perfume into her bag.”As she turned to go，“ Chadwick recalled，”she suddenly looked up at the ’sputnik‘ and stopped.She could not possibly have seen that the camera was trained on her because it is completely hidden，but she must have had a feeling that I was looking at her.“

”For a moment she paused，but then she returned to counter and started putting everything back.When she had finished，she opened her bag towards the camera to show it was empty and hurried out of the store.“

57.January i s a good month for shoplifters because ________.[A] they don’t need to wait for staff to serve them

[B] they don‘t need any previous experience as thieves

[C] there are so many people in the store

[D] January sales offer wonderful opportunities for them

58.The sputniks hanging from the ceiling are intended ________.[A] to watch the most desirable goods [C] to frighten shoplifters by their appearance

[B] to make films that can be used as evidence [D] to be used as evidence against shoplifters

59.The case last October was important because ________。

[A] the store got the dresses back

[B] the equipment was able to frighten shoplifters

[C] other shops found out about the equipment

[D] the kind of evidence supplied was accepted by court

60.The woman stealing perfume ________.[A] guessed what the sputniks were for [C] could see the camera filming her

[B] was frightened by its shape [D] knew that the detective had seen her

61.The woman’s action before leaving the store shows that she ________.[A] was sorry for what she had done

[B] was afraid she would be arrested

[C]decided she didn‘t want what she had picked up

[D] wanted to prove she had not intended to steal anything

Passage Two

Questions 62 to 66 are based in the following passage.The largest shark known to us，Mega lodon，is extinct.Or is it? Carcharodon Megalodon，commonly known as Megalodon，is believed to have lived between 1 million and 5 million years ago and thought to have been 52 feet long.It is(or was)a shark that had a jaw 7 or more feet wide.Fairly recently，there has been some speculation about whether it is extinct or just out of reach.But few people believe that Megalodon has found a home deep in the ocean.There are many known ”Living Fossils“： Coelacanth，Sea Cucumbers，Sea Urchins，Lobsters，Sea Stars.The common ones like lobsters and sea urchins are not really looked on as anything amazing.They’ve been around for thousands of years or more，and are easily accessible to us.What if they weren‘t accessible and yet still existed? We would label them extinct.The discovery of a live Coelacanth，a fish long believed extinct，challenged some scientists’ long-held beliefs on extinction.There have been recent discoveries of incredibly large squid，and deep-sea fish never before seen by scientists.In the 1960s the U.S.Navy set up underwater microphones around the world to track Soviet submarines.The network，known as the Sound Surveillance System，still lies deep below the ocean‘s surface in a layer of water known as the ”deep sound channel“。The temperature and pressure of the channel allow sound waves to travel undisturbed.NOAA’s Acoustic Monitoring Project has been using the Sound Surveillance System to listen for changes in ocean structure lik e ocean currents or volcanic activity.Most of the sounds recorded are common and of no concern.One sound，identified in 1977 by U.S.Navy ”spy“ sensors，was odd.It was obviously a marine animal but the call was more powerful than any of the calls made by any other reported sea creature.It was too big for a whale.Could it be a deep-sea monster? One possibility was a giant squid，but no one is sure.It was named ”Bloop“。Could it be Megalodon? If Megalodon is still alive down in the bottom of the ocean，we may some day soon discover it.Then what? Deep sea diving will never be the same，that‘s for sure!

62.The following is commonly known EXCEPT ________.[A] Megalodon，the largest shark，is extinct

[B] Megalodon is not extinct but just out of reach

[C] Megalodon was 52 feet long and had a jaw 7 or more feet wide

[D] Megalodon lived between several million years ago.63.What makes scientists doubt about the belief that Megalodon is extinct?

[A] The discovery of many ”Living Fossils“。[C] The discovery of a live Coelacanth.[B] The discovery of the fossils of lobsters.[D] The discovery of the fossils of sea urchins.64.What was special in their recorded sounds?

[A] To listen for changes in ocean structure.[B] To listen for changes of ocean currents or volcanic activity.[C] To Make sure whether there was a giant squid deep in the ocean.[D] To follow the track of the Soviet warships under water.65.What was special in their recorded sounds?

[A] A strange，powerful animal sound was heard.[C] A sea monster’s sound was heard.[B] A big whale‘s sound was heard.[D] A giant squid’s sound was heard.66.What can be concluded from the passage?

[A] Scientists‘ discoveries always change peop le’s belief.[B] There are too many secrets to be discovered.[C] Megalodon may be still alive deep in the ocean.[D] ”Deep sound channel“ allows sound waves to travel undisturbed.Part V Cloze(15 minutes)

(五家渠市石河子大學(xué) 商學(xué)院, 新疆 五家渠 摘 要: 筆者通過對往年大學(xué)英語四級考試成績的分析 后發(fā)現(xiàn), 凡是四級考試中閱讀理解的命題和測試題型均有一 定的內(nèi)在規(guī)律, 若能對其中的規(guī)律和解題方法有一定了解, 就 會對考生有所裨益.我將從把握文章體裁和脈絡(luò), 題型設(shè)計規(guī) 律及解決方法, 閱讀方法等方面作簡要的分析.關(guān)鍵詞: 文章體裁 規(guī)律及解決方法 閱讀方法 閱讀是增長知識獲取信息的主要途徑 , 閱讀能力是英語 教學(xué)的重點.近年來, 大學(xué)英語四六級考試注重對學(xué)生閱讀理 解能力的考核已成為一大趨勢.閱讀理解能力影響并制約聽, 說, , 能力的形成和發(fā)展, 同時該部分得分的高低也影響 讀 寫 整個考試的成敗.所以如何提高四級考試閱讀理解的得分就 是廣大考生最擔(dān)心的, 也是我們教學(xué)過程中應(yīng)該注意的問題.一, 識別文體, 并統(tǒng)覽全篇, 摘錄要點 隨著信息時代的到來, 閱讀內(nèi)容更趨于信息化, 代化, 時 突破了單一的故事, 寓言等題材, 內(nèi)容涉及新聞, 廣告, 科普, 醫(yī) 療, 教育等, 文章的體裁也從記敘擴大到產(chǎn)品說明, 邏輯推理及 實際應(yīng)用等文體.不同的文體閱讀的要求與方法不盡相同.記 地點, 人物和事件的起因, 敘文閱讀主要抓四大要素, 即時間, 發(fā)展和結(jié)果, 以及人物之間的關(guān)系, 表現(xiàn), 從中分析他們思想品 質(zhì), 性格特征等;議論文是闡明作者對人或事的好壞的立場觀 點, 因此在閱讀時必須正確把握文章的論點和論據(jù), 理清論證 思路, 再進行邏輯推理得出結(jié)論;應(yīng)用文是最貼近日常生活的 廣告, 便條, 申請書, 個人簡歷, 形式多樣, 題 文體, 它包括通知, 材各異, 如圖示, 表格, 地址, 網(wǎng)址等, 對這類文體的閱讀應(yīng)簡明 扼要地抓住所需信息, 理解文章內(nèi)容.閱讀理解是對整個文章 的目的, 意圖, 觀點, 立場, 態(tài)度以及內(nèi)在的邏輯關(guān)系的理解, 而 不是斷章取義的一孔之見, 所以統(tǒng)覽全篇和問題是很有必要 的, 這些問題會給你提供信息或暗示文章中的一些重要細節(jié).二, 閱讀理解問題的命題規(guī)律及解題方法 —掌握所讀材料的主旨和大意 2.1 主旨題—— 主旨類試題主要測試考生對整篇文章或文章某一段落的理 標(biāo)題, 中心思想等.解能力, 要求考生找出或歸納出文章的主題, 一篇短文通常包括表明中心思想的主題句以及與中心思想有關(guān) 或為其提供論據(jù)的一個或多個支持性句子.主題思想是作者在 文章中要表達的中心內(nèi)容.段落中心思想常常由主題句來表達.主題句常常出現(xiàn)在段首或段尾處.同樣,一篇文章的中心思想也 常常在開始段或結(jié)尾段點出.因此,在閱讀中,要對文章的開始段 和結(jié)尾段及段落的主題句給予特別的注意.解答這類題時, 要學(xué) 會識別文章中最基本,最具有概括力的信息, 這種信息應(yīng)能歸納 和概括文中其它信息所具有的共性;要學(xué)會排除那些過寬或過 窄, 以偏概全, 主次顛倒等不恰當(dāng)?shù)倪x項, 從而選出正確答案.—識別重要細節(jié) 2.2 細節(jié)題—— 在文章中 , 作者總是要通過許多具 體 內(nèi) 容(details)來 說 明 , 解釋, 證明, 或分析文章的主題思想.在通讀全文, 掌握了文章 主題思想的基礎(chǔ)上 , 讀 者 還 應(yīng) 該 能 抓 住 闡 述 和 發(fā) 展 主 題 思 想 的主要事實 , 或者按要求 找 出 特 定 細 節(jié).在近年 來 的 考 試 中 , 細節(jié)題中所占的份量越來越重.在 2000 年 1 月全真題中, 此類 題就達 12 題, 占據(jù)了整個閱讀理解的 40%.一般來說 , 閱讀理解 測試中要求找出主要 事 實 或 特 定 細 節(jié) 的 問 題 , 在 文 章 中 均 可 找到回答.但是 , 需要注意的是 , 這些問題的表述常常不是采用 文章中的原話 , 而是使用同義的詞語來進行提問.因此 , 在回答 此類問題時 , 首先要認真審題 , 看清問題提問的究竟是什么.然 831300)后 , 根據(jù)所涉及到的問題 , 快 速 掃 視 到 文 章 中 相 應(yīng) 的 部 分 , 找 到 兩 與答題內(nèi)容相關(guān)的關(guān)鍵 詞 或 短 語 , 再 細 讀 一 , 遍.在 確 信 理 解了原文的基礎(chǔ)上 , 來 確 定 正 確 答 案 , 切 勿 脫 離 文 中 內(nèi) 容 而 根 據(jù)自己的主觀想象或其它來源的知識來選擇答案.2.3 推斷題 推斷題就是根據(jù)文章中的相關(guān)信息進行推論, 通過概括得 出結(jié)論.推理性問題與細節(jié)性問題相似, 也是對文章具體內(nèi)容 的判斷.但推理不但要求掌握文章所表達的字面含義, 還要掌 握一定的邏輯判斷能力及寫作技巧知識, 從文章表面推出更深 層含義, 這部分往往出題分量大, 難度大.出錯也最多, 歸根結(jié) 底還是對文章內(nèi)容沒有做到真正的理解和掌握.Inference類問 題主要包括 Significance和 CommunicationTechniques兩大類.(1)Significance 文字表面往往沒有明顯反映作者的全部意圖, 有些含義 需要讀者從字里行間去體會, 靠自己的邏輯推理能力去判斷, 從上下文的聯(lián)貫及文中有關(guān)部分的暗示去明析作者隱含的意 思.這類問題的命題方式有: 1)The writer implies but not directly states that 2)It can be inferred from the passage that 3)The author strongly suggests that 4)It can be concluded from the passage that(2)Communication Techniques 文章中的每一句話都有它的作用和目的, 都是為作者的 寫作而服務(wù)的.有的是下層意思的鋪墊, 有的是上句話的結(jié) 果, 互相襯托, 互相聯(lián)系.四級閱讀中常常就技巧性問題提問, 測試讀者對文章是否正確理解.這類題的命題方式有: 1)The fact...is mentioned by the author to show.2)The author achieves his purpose by depending mainly upon 3)The writer talks about...in order io.4)In discussing...,the author.推論要求讀者根據(jù)作者字面表達的意思, 推斷出作者的 言外之意.然而做結(jié)論則是根據(jù)文中所引述論證的事實, 按照 作者的思路, 做出一個合情合理, 符合邏輯的結(jié)論.在四級閱讀 理解考試中, 有時會問到作者的觀點和態(tài)度.考生需通過字里 反對什么, 從而總結(jié)出答案.行間的閱讀, 理解作者贊成什么, 在判斷文章的結(jié)論時, 要特別注意查證得出的結(jié)論是否符合原 文作者的意圖.所得出的結(jié)論必須建立在文章提供的事實的基 礎(chǔ)上, 切不可根據(jù)自己的主觀臆斷, 毫無根據(jù)地下結(jié)論.—推測詞義或語義 2.4 詞義題—— 詞義題主要測試考生在閱讀中理解詞和詞組以及某些習(xí)慣 用法意義的能力.閱讀文章中的生詞主要有兩類.一類是單詞本 身并不見得是生詞, 重要的是要求考生能根據(jù)該詞使用的語境 正確判斷出該詞的詞義, 這類詞多為多義詞, 考生須具備根據(jù)單 詞使用的不同語境判斷其具體意義的能力.另一類則為純粹的 生詞, 考生須根據(jù)上下文正確理解詞義.對于這類問題, 考生應(yīng) 研究生詞所處的語境, 用整個句子所要表達的意思來分析詞義;剖析生詞與上下文中的其他同義詞,近義詞或反義詞是否有某 種聯(lián)系等等.有些生詞我們可以借助構(gòu)詞法猜測其含意.對于有 些不熟悉的單詞 ,了解其大概意思就行了 ,并不總是要求讀者了 解其確切的定義.因篇幅有限, 在此只略舉幾個例子說明.Example : Today young couples who are just starting their households often spend lots of their money on appliances,for in-stance,washing-machines,refrigerators and color televisions.6 論壇 2007 年 第 7 期

(華中師范大學(xué), 湖北 武漢 430079;景德鎮(zhèn)陶瓷學(xué)院, 江西 景德鎮(zhèn) 333001)摘 要: 長期以來, “ 重結(jié)構(gòu), 輕詞匯” 重形式, 輕意義“ 或” 的外語教學(xué)傾向嚴(yán)重影響了外語教學(xué)尤其是大學(xué)公共外語教 學(xué), 即詞匯學(xué)習(xí)基本上處于一種自發(fā)狀態(tài), 學(xué)生詞匯學(xué)習(xí)量增 而 長慢, 詞匯量小, 嚴(yán)重影響語言交際能力.很多學(xué)生單靠枯 大 燥乏味的死記硬背記憶詞匯, 事倍功半, 效率不高.學(xué)英語 四, 六級考試改革正如火如荼地進行著并進一步深化.2006 年 12 月, 四級考試改革將全面啟動, 屆時試卷中存在了近20 年的 詞匯部分將正式落下帷幕.新四級考試對考生詞匯量的要求 越來越高.本文筆者結(jié)合近幾年的教學(xué)實踐的心得體會和當(dāng) 前大學(xué)英語四,六級考試改革的形勢 , 針對怎樣搞好詞匯教 學(xué), 幫助學(xué)生有效學(xué)習(xí), 記憶單詞, 迅速擴大詞匯量, 促進語言 交際能力的提高, 談?wù)勛约旱目捶?六級考試改革 關(guān)鍵詞: 詞匯教學(xué) 技巧 四, 引言 語音, 語法和詞匯是構(gòu)成語言的三要素, 其中詞匯又是最 重要的因素.詞匯是語音和語法的載體, 是構(gòu)成語言大廈的建 沒 筑材料, 沒有詞匯, 任何語言都是不可想象的.有足夠的詞 匯, 就不能有效地進行聽, 讀, 譯, 就無法有效地用英語 說, 寫, 進 行 交 際.弗(River, 1988)認 為 掌 握 足 夠 的 詞 匯 是 成 功 運 用 里 而 外語的關(guān)鍵, 沒有詞匯就不能運用所學(xué)的結(jié)構(gòu)和功能意念.在實際教學(xué)中, 很多老師往往過多地注重了語法和句型的講 解和操練, 忽略了詞匯的教學(xué), 認為單詞學(xué)習(xí)是學(xué)生自己的 事, 讓學(xué)生課后自己去背, 致使詞匯教學(xué)成了薄弱環(huán)節(jié), 學(xué)生 的詞匯知識匱乏, 詞匯記憶效率極低, 甚至對詞匯的基本義都

掌握不準(zhǔn)確, 全面, 換個場合或換個搭配就不懂了.說時 不 聽 常常因為不知道單詞而“ 卡殼” 閱讀時遇到生詞就一籌莫展,;不能運用詞匯知識去辨認,猜測, 往往查老半天詞典也弄不 懂, 既影響閱讀速度, 又影響理解;寫作時, 由于不知道常用詞 的用法特點和習(xí)慣搭配, 寫出的東西便是滿紙的中文式英文.事實上, 詞匯量的大小代表了一個人英語水平的高低, 代表了 他的外語能力的強弱.英語學(xué)習(xí)者把英語當(dāng)作工具來學(xué)習(xí)和 因 掌握, 通過英語來學(xué)習(xí)其他專業(yè)知識或完成某項具體工作.此, 改善和加強詞匯教學(xué), 尤其是加強構(gòu)詞知識的教學(xué), 應(yīng)是 英語教學(xué)的一個重要內(nèi)容.一, 詞匯教學(xué)的重要性和必要性 六級改革的需要 1.大學(xué)英語四, 自從 2004 年初教育部高教司組織制定并在全國部分高校 開始試點《 大學(xué)英語課程教學(xué)要求(試行)》 以下簡稱《 教學(xué)要(隨后教 求》 以來, 大學(xué)英語教學(xué)改革如火如荼地開展起來了.)育部出臺了《 大學(xué)英語四六級考試改革方案》 調(diào)整了四, 六級 , 考試的題型結(jié)構(gòu)和分值.對《 革方案》 臺后的大學(xué)英語 面 改 出 詞 教 學(xué) 面 臨 著 新 形 勢,有 的 教 師 認 為 “ 匯 測 試 要 取 消 了 ” “ , 詞 匯教學(xué)不重要也沒必要了” 等.者以為, 詞匯測試并沒有 等 筆 取 消,而 是 改 為 “ 章 語 境 中 的 詞 匯 理 解 測 試 ” 由 此 可 以 看 篇.出, 詞匯測試對詞匯教學(xué)提出了更高的要求;而且, 掌握詞匯 的重要性主要體現(xiàn)在聽說讀寫譯各項語言技能上而不是單純 地應(yīng)付考試, 在這種意義上, 詞匯教學(xué)依然任重而道遠.2.語言交際的需要 經(jīng)常有學(xué)生問: “ 老師, 為什么我和別人說英語時總是用那

如 不 知 道 appliances 的 意 思 , 從 文 中 的 舉 例 washing-ma-chines(洗衣機),refrigerators(冰箱),color televisions(彩電)可以 猜出該詞的意思為” 家用電器“.三, 學(xué)會正確的閱讀方法 閱讀速度是衡量閱讀能力的重要方面.很多學(xué)生之所以讀 不快, 是因為沒有掌握好正確的閱讀方法.常見的不良閱讀習(xí)慣 有: ” 指讀“即為了” 集中注意力“用手指或筆尖指著文章逐詞閱 , , 讀.一遇到生詞, 閱讀即停頓下來, 無法在通篇理解的基礎(chǔ)上繼 續(xù)進行閱讀;” 回讀“ 即在閱讀中遇到生詞或不熟悉短語時, 返 , 譯 回句首甚至段首重讀;如果遇到長句時, 常常反復(fù)多次;以及” 短語乃至句子的翻譯, 通 讀“即在閱讀過程中, 不斷地進行詞, , 過譯成母語來達到理解.有了這些不良閱讀習(xí)慣, 要以較快的速 度從大量材料中捕捉有關(guān)信息, 的確是十分困難的.因此, 我們 必須養(yǎng)成良好的閱讀習(xí)慣并根據(jù)不同的閱讀目的, 采用不同的 方法.一般來說, 閱讀方法有快讀, 查讀和細讀三種.1)快讀(Skimming)快讀的目的是用瀏覽全文的方法了解文章的大意和主題 思想, 并對文章的結(jié)構(gòu)有個總的概念.為了更好地抓住全文的 中心思想, 在快讀時要留心文章中某些反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的詞語, 這些 往往與文章的主題有關(guān).快讀時, 還應(yīng)特別注意文章的開始段 和結(jié)束段以及文章中每一段的段首句和結(jié)尾句 , 因為它們往 往是對文章內(nèi)容最好的概括.2)查讀(Scanning)查讀的目的主要是為了尋找文章中某些特定的信息.在 一目數(shù)行地尋視與答題內(nèi)容相關(guān)的 查讀時, 目光要自上而下, 詞 句 , 與 此 無 關(guān)的 內(nèi) 容 要 很 快 掠 過.當(dāng) 回 答 有 關(guān) who,when, where 等文章細節(jié)問題的時候, 用此 方 法 我 們 一 般 都 可 很 快 找

一查即得” 到答案, 可以說“.3 細讀(Reading for full understanding)找到文章中的有關(guān)范圍以后, 即在此范圍內(nèi)逐句閱讀, 特 較 別對關(guān)鍵詞, 要仔細琢磨, 以便對其有較深刻, 準(zhǔn)確的理 句 解和掌握.在細讀中, 對沒有學(xué)過的生詞, 可根據(jù)上下文或自 己的背景知識等來推測其意義, 對難以看懂的長句, 可借助語 法手段, 對其加以分析, 以達到透徹的理解.需要指出的是, 在一篇文章的閱讀過程中, 我們要根據(jù)不 同的要求采用不同的閱讀方法.四, 結(jié)論 總之, 世上凡事都有其自身的規(guī)律, 只要能發(fā)揮主觀能動 性發(fā)現(xiàn)并利用這些規(guī)律, 就會對我們的生活中的問題有所裨 益.大學(xué)英語四級考試中的閱讀理解部分也是一樣, 只要考生平時多注意積累, 歸納, 訓(xùn)練等, 找到適合自己的解題方法, 一 這句話.定會取得成功的.請牢記” pains,no gains."
