As experts ponder how best to rebuild the devastated(毁坏)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.”One 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)

（二）On Buying Graduation Thesis 1.毕业论文买卖成风；
2.有人认为本科生没必要写毕业论文，有人认为有必要； 3.你的看法。
【范文】
Since graduation thesis serves as a role of evaluation, college students are required to write academic essays focusing on their major before graduation.Afraid of not getting their degree, buying graduation thesis has become a prevailing practice.Consequently, heated discussion on the issue has been arisen.Some don't think it is necessary to write the graduation essay while the others support the current educational system.However, the main argument for scrapping essays is because most of them are of such a low quality.As this work is usually assigned in the last term, exactly when they are starting to hunt for jobs, it is no wonder that they are not fully focused on the task.Furthermore, the communication between student and tutor is far from adequate.Nevertheless, I still believe that thesises are something from which students can gain a lot if they put their heart into the task.【点评】
文章首段通过毕业论文的用途引出社会现象----买卖论文成风；第二段指出不同的人对此持有不同意见；第三段结合自身观点，分析现象产生的原因：毕业论文一般是最后一学期完成，而学生忙于找工作导致论文质量低，另外学生和导师的沟通不够，最后给出自己的观点---毕业论文对于学生而言很重要，如果用心去做，学生可以从中学到很多。

（三）The Spirit of Lei Feng 1.雷锋精神学了半个世纪，雷锋却越来越少； 2.当下我们该如何弘扬雷锋精神？
【范文】
Lei Feng, a heroic model in China who was known for his altruism and devotion to the country, has been taken as a role model over past 50 years.But in recent years, some people have abandoned their long-held ways of learning from Lei Feng and become too selfish to helping people in need.In today's diverse society, where individual interests are given more emphasis, the image of Lei Feng seems to have lost its appeal to some people, and is even met with cynicism.But everybody can do the basics: show more compassion, have a stronger sense of obligation and try to do good, no matter how small it is.Furthermore, governments should pay more attention to morality construction, raise people's willingness to help others, let them realize that altruism is always necessary for a harmonious society and provide fuel to the flame so it can burn more brightly.【点评】
文章第一段通过介绍雷锋，说明雷锋精神，引出社会现象：有些人变得自私，不愿帮助那些需要帮助的人；第二段指出过分强调个人利益使得雷锋形象失去原有魅力，为弘扬雷锋精神，个人应该有强烈的责任感，勿以善小而不为，政府应该加强道德建设，提高人们助人为乐的意识。
文章第一段中altruism意为“无私，利他主义”，devotion意为“奉献”； taken as a role model意为“作为榜样”；第二段第一句中涉及where引导的定语从句，修饰先行词society，cynicism意为“冷嘲热讽，玩世不恭”，sense of obligation意为“义务感，使命感”；Furthermore表示递进。

Currently, college students are unavoidably exposed to all kinds of digital products, such as digital cameras, laptops, cell phones and so on, which grow in an increasing categories and quantities.Many students continuously update their “equipments” to meet their over-growing needs.Meanwhile people show great concerns about the influence of those products.There is no doubt that digital products make things more convenient for college students.For instance, computers and Internet enable students to collect information with greatly improved work efficiency.What's more, digital items widen students' scope of eyesight and make their life more colorful.Although these items also cause negative effects, as they may waste their precious time and cultivate a generation more isolated from the real life.Neverthless, I cherish a belief that with the help of digital products, college students can benefit a lot and the world will have a wonderful future.【点评】

（五）Free Blood Donation 1.无偿献血的意义；
2.作为一名大学生，你认为该如何做？
【范文】
Free blood donation refers to healthy donators voluntarily giving a small amount of blood.It doesn't harm the donators' health as their bodies could make quick adjustment.It is a kind of way by which people can make contribution to society and realize self-value.However, some people are still unwilling to donate blood.As a college student, I think effective measures should be taken to encourage people to join in the team of blood donation.First of all, a nation-wide campaign should be launched to educate people scientific knowledge about blood donation as well as the prevention and control of diseases spread via blood.Second, activities should be carried out to raise public awareness about its benefits and safety, letting them abandon their concerns.Last but not the least, government at all levels should cooperate to create a harmonious and healthy society, and improve people’s current spiritual civilization.【点评】

（一）The Pursuit of Foreign Diplomas 1.现在越来越多的大学生热衷于国外文凭； 2.你对此事的看法。
【范文】
Since the education quality of foreign developed countries is thought to be better than that in China, an increasing number of college students are keen on studying abroad.College students believe that with foreign diplomas they may be considered more competitive than others, and can get more job opportunities or higher salaries.Undoubtedly, studying abroad offers college students chances of learning more advanced knowledge, experiencing different cultures, broadening their views and gaining good command of foreign languages.But the blind pursuit of foreign diplomas may cause a considerable number of students to neglect the pursuit of knowledge, and forget about the huge amount of money they need to prepare.What's more, concentrating on the diploma itself may lead to students who aren't expert at academic studies directly buy fake foreign diplomas.All in all, I think college students should consider clearly what they really want to gain at foreign schools, for an inflated reputation or knowledge.Besides, they should make decisions after careful consideration on the family’s payment ability.【点评】

College students vary their choices after graduation.Some choose to go abroad for further education, some are willing to work in foreign companies or state-owned enterprises, but there still others choose to work in rural areas, and they hope to realize self-value by working in grassroots communities.As far as I am concerned, I absolutely in favor of this choice of working in grassroots.It is helpful for the development of rural countries.On one hand, college graduates can put into practice what they have learnt during academic years, which can promote economic growth of rural countries.On the other hand, they can introduce new concepts to the countryside, speed the cultural development of rural areas, and bridge the gap between the city and the countryside.What's more, it helps to ease the pressure of job markets in big cities.In conclusion, it is a win-win choice to both college students and society, so more preferential policies should be made in order to encourage college students to work in the countryside.【点评】

（四）Job-hopping 1.现在越来越多学生毕业后经常换工作；
2.有人表示支持，有人表示反对，人们对此看法不一； 3.你的看法。
【范文】
Frequent “job hopping” is common among graduates.More and more graduates take changing new jobs as a way of seeking higher salary or getting promotion.People have different attitudes towards job-hopping.Some think that one should stick to one occupation since one can never do his work well unless he is devoted to only one job in his lifetime.On the contrary, the others support job-hopping as it can offer one more chances of realizing self-value.Before talking about whether it's right or not, I think graduates should ponder over the following basic questions: Why do you want to find a new job? What kind of jobs do you really like? One shouldn't blindly follow other people in job-hopping, and needn't expect to climb the corporate ladder by job-hopping.Eternal moves can be an effective way of getting a promotion or higher pay, but frequent moves suggest a lack of loyalty.What's more, the perfect job should be a combination of interest and work.So make out your plans for career development, think beforehand all those things related with job-hopping, and you will have a brighter life.【点评】
文章第一段指出越来越多大学生不断更换工作，人们对此各持己见，然后给出了赞成者和反对者的观点。文章第二段作者指出，大学生在更换工作之前需仔细考虑清楚，防止盲目跟风。虽然跳槽可能会获得升职加薪的机会，但是也会造成雇主对“忠诚度”的怀疑。另外，在跳槽之前应该做好个人职业发展计划。
第一段中as a way of seeking higher salary or getting promotion意为“作为一种升职加薪的途径”，is devoted to意为“致力于，奉献于”；第二段中frequent moves suggest a lack of loyalty意为“频繁的跳槽暗示着缺乏忠诚”，think beforehand意为“提前考虑”。

（五）My View on Over-consumption 1.有人认为过度消费会推动经济发展； 2.有人认为则会导致浪费； 3.谈谈你的看法。
【范文】
When it refers to over-consumption, some people think it contributes a lot to the economic development of China.It can enrich people's daily life and enlarge consumers' demand，which is an important factor to economic growth.However, other people hold different opinions.They consider it is harmful to consume more than their everyday needs.Buying things they don't need not only causes waste of resources, but also causes one to be in debt, anxiety and overload.It is true that every coin has two sides.But I think the disadvantages of over-consumption outweigh its advantages.In addition to the above mentioned negativeIt is true that every coin has two sides.But I think the disadvantages of over-consumption outweigh its advantages.In addition to the above mentioned negative effects, over-consumption could threaten limited natural resources and pollute our environment.Therefore, this unsustainable way of life should be changed and we should pursue a resource-saving and environmentally-friendly consumption life-style.As our government is advocating a “conservation-minded society” and an idea of sustainable development, we should cooperate to create a harmonious society.
第三篇：大学英语四级预测作文
Topic 1: On the Popularity of Internet-based Instruction 1.现在许多大学纷纷开设网络课程 2.网络课程学习的利与弊
3.我的观点
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.有人认为海外留学好处颇多 2.有人反对这种观点 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.有些人决定毕业后读研 2.有些人决定找工作 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.现在有许多大学生沉溺于网络游戏
2.这一现象给大学生带来的影响 3.建议大家远离这种消遣方式
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.当前校园中存在许多作弊现象 2.如何解决这一问题
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? 1.一些人认为基本生活技能也应该成为中国学生的必修课 2.反对者则认为，学生应在家里逐步学习基本生活技能 3.提出自己的观点
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.社会上存在着各种私立学校和培训学校 2.私立学校和培训学校的利与弊
3.我的观点
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.大学校园里占座是很普遍的现象 2.针对这一行为，人们持不同意见 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，许多在校大学生都拥有一张甚至几张信用卡
2.大学生使用信用卡的范围
3.你认为大学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.有些人认为要为学生提供“单人宿舍” 2.有些人认为“集体宿舍”更好 3.我的观点
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.有些大学提出校园禁烟令
2.有人认为„„，而有人认为„„ 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.许多人认为情商(Emotional Quotient)比智商(Intelligence Quotient)更重要
2.我的观点
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.有人认为性格决定命运
2.也有人认为命运是自己把握的 3.我的观点
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.个人理财在现代生活中非常重要
2.很多大学生因没有正确的理财观念而产生了许多问题 3.对于大学生理财的建议
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.目前网络上有各种各样的免费电子书 2.免费看电子书的利与弊 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.目前网络粗话非常盛行
2.禁止网络粗话是否有用，人们观点不一 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? 1.一些人认为在每个县城都开办大学是可行的 2.有些人则认为这一观点不现实 3.我的观点
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.有人认为市区公园应该免费开放
2.也有人认为免费开放市区公园会带来很多问题
3.我的观点
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.低碳生活日渐成为热门话题 2.低碳生活的意义 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.很多大学生毕业后留在大城市工作
2.也有人选择到小城镇开始自己的职业生涯 3.结合实际情况谈谈自己的想法
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.1.一些人认为乘客也应该为醉驾司机的行为承担责任
2.但多数人则认为让乘客为醉驾司机的行为负责没有法律依据 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.面对严峻的就业形势，很多人认为新毕业的大学生应该降低他们对自己职业的期望值
2.但另一些人持反对意见 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.有人认为大学教育中英语比汉语更受重视有现实的原因
2.但多数人认为大学教育中汉语不应该为英语让步，而应该加大汉语教学的比重

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.许多大学生毕业后找不到工作 2.产生这一现象的原因 3.解决这一问题的方法
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月四级英语作文预测

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.预测作文2.On Graffiti 1.校园“涂鸦”现象随处可见 2.人们对此看法不同 3.我的看法
Useful words and expressions: 涂鸦：graffiti 恶意破坏：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.预测作文3.Suspend Schooling to Work 目前有些大一学生申请休学一年到校外打工 出现这种现象的原因是… 你对此的看法 【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.预测作文4.Registering Online with Real Names 目前网络游戏等领域开始实行网络实名制 对于网络实名制，有人赞成，也有人反对 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.预测作文5.Create a Conservation-Oriented Campus 1.建设节约型十分重要 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.预测作文6.Killing Time Indoors 1.现在有不少人业余时间喜欢 “宅”在家里 2.人们对这种做法有不同看法 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.预测作文7.Restrict Mobile Phone in Library 1 现在有不少人在图书馆的阅览区里使用手机 2 这一现象可能带来的影响 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.预测作文8.Whom Do You Turn to When in Trouble? 有人遇到困难时向同学、朋友求助 2 有人则向老师、家长求助 3 以你自己为例 【范文】
Whom Do You Turn to When in Trouble? Just as the saying goes: life is not all roses, all of us will need someone else‟s help to deal with problems that we encounter in our life.Here comes the question: whom will you turn to for help? 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.预测作文9.Should People Keep Bizarre Pets? 1 现在越来越多的人饲养另类宠物 2 人们对这一现象有不同看法 3 你的看法 【范文】
Should People Keep Bizarre Pets? 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.预测作文10.Should We Help Strangers? 1 有人认为帮助陌生人是一种美德 2 有人却认为帮助陌生人会给自己带来危害 3 我认为、、、、、、【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.预测作文
11、Should Chinese Athletes Serve Overseas

3、你的看法 【范文】
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.预测作文12.Text Message on TV Shows

【范文】
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.预测作文13.Low-carbon Lifestyle

Low-carbon Lifestyle
Every since, the World Climate Conference was held in Copenhagen, the term “low-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.预测作文14.The Real-name Train Ticket System Launched

3、你的看法
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.预测作文15.On Vegetarian 1,近年来越来越多的人成为素食主义者 2.人们对素食的看法不一
3.我的看法 【范文】
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.预测作文16.Should We Resume The Traditional Chinese Characters? 1.有人提出恢复使用繁体字 2.有人对此反对 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.预测作文17.Principals Recommending Students to PKU 1.北大开始实行校长推荐制 2.对此有人赞成，有人反对 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.预测作文18.On Professional Ethics of Doctors 1.目前许多医生的职业道德遭到人们的质疑 2.原因是…
3.你认为应该如何解决这一问题 【范文】
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.预测作文19.Should We Trace and Reclaim Cultural Relics Lost Overseas?

Should We Trace and Reclaim Cultural Relics Lost Overseas? The loss of China‟s cultural relics is a serious problem and also a historical issue.Some people now firmly support tracing and reclaiming cultural relics lost overseas.In terms of the significance or value ,they insist ,the lost relics are historically ,scientifically and artistically important.Besides ,it is just natural that historically ,scientifically and artistically important.Besides ,it is just natural that the owner gets back what belong to him.Other ,however ,oppose the recovery.Since many lost cultural relics are put up for auction ,it is the traffickers ,speculators and overseas auction houses that benefit most from the reclaiming.Worse still ,the huge profit from cultural relics would stir up more smuggling and illegal digging for cultural relics.In a way ,tracing and reclaiming the lost cultural relics would set up a vicious circle.Personally speaking, I think we should maintain a sensible attitude when it comes to reclaiming cultural relics lost overseas.If our cultural relics are under high-level preservation and available to the whole mankind to the greatest extent, there is no need to reclaim them.After all, just as the international heritage concept advocates, cultural relics belong to all humanity.预测作文20.Should Enterprises Hold an Annual Meeting?

3、我的看法 【范文】
Should Enterprises Hold an Annual Meeting? Many companies tend to hold an annual meeting at the end of the year in recent years.The organizers believe both the company and the employees will benefit a lot from it.An annual meeting ,if held successfully ,can help create a harmonious working atmosphere in the company.Some people ,however ,are against this practice.They regard it a big waste of money to rent the meeting hall ,to pay for the hostess ,to eat in luxurious restaurants and so on.Besides ,it would contribute to a considerable portion of the financial expenditure of the company.In consequence ,it would inevitably lower the amount of money that goes to the employees.In my view, the advantages of holding the annual meeting outweigh its disadvantages.Firstly, the employees can be refreshed after a whole year‟s hard working.Secondly, the conference gives colleagues valuable chances to get a further understanding of each other.Moreover, a good annual meeting can help create a sense of belonging in the heart of the staff.预测作文21.Should Universities Lower Admission Requirements for Celebrities?

Should Universities Lower Admission Requirements for Celebrities? Nowadays, it is not rare to learn that some universities have lowered their admission requirements for celebrity students.Some people object strongly to this admission pattern, holding that it damages the basic rule of fairness in education.In addition, they argue that it would be an insult to college education if a person academically unqualified was admitted.For other ,however ,this practice is reasonable.For one thing ,they say ,since a celebrity has made significant contributions to the society ,it is understandable that a university lowers its admission requirements to reward the individual.For another ,celebrity students can be positive role models for their fellow school mates.many of the celebrities are self-assured ,hardworking ,and persevering and their stories of success can stimulate fellow students to follow their examples.In my view ,it is a wise move for universities to lower their admission requirements for renowned people.On the part of universities ,it will enhance the universities/ reputation.In a word ,bending the rule for the celebrities benefits the
favored individual ,the student body ,and the university ,so we see no reason to deny it.预测作文22.Dose Technology Widen the Gap between the Poor and Rich? 1 有人认为科技扩大了贫富分化 2 有人认为科技缩小了贫富分化 3 你的看法 【范文】
Dose Technology Widen the Gap between the Poor and Rich? 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.预测作文23.Spam Massage 1.目前垃圾短信泛滥 2.这种现象产生的原因 3.如何解决这个问题 【范文】
Spam Message With the increasing use of cell phones, spam message has become a heated issue.According to a survey, on average, people receive about 40 pieces of spam message per month.Spam message may disturb, confuse, or even threaten people at any time.Generally, there are two reasons for the spam epidemic.On one hand, due to the fact that text message is a comparatively cheap channel, many companies take advantage of it to advertise their products or services.Whether people are willing to receive the message is neglected.On the other hand, operators holding lots of information on cell phone users sell the information and make money out of it.To solve the problem of spam message, relative authorities and professionals should make joint efforts.The government should set up laws to severely punish the illegal advertisers and those who disclose users‟ information.Cell phone researchers and developers should upgrade the products and enable them to delete the spam automatically.Should people act together, they will be free from the spam message.预测作文24.Celebtities as Products’ Spokespersons 1.现在明星为产品代言的现象很普遍 2.明星代言存在的一些问题 3.我的看法 【范文】
Celebrities as Products’ Spokespersons
In the contemporary society, it is very common for celebrities, or the so-called superstars, to be spokespersons for a wide variety of products.On the Internet, television, newspapers, magazines and even on the walls of some buildings, you may find celebrities in the advertising posters.There are some problems existing in celebrities‟ in celebrities‟ endorsing endorsing products.Firstly, some stars may know nothing about the products but still accept the invitation as their spokesmen.To these stars, “look before leap” is just a saying.Secondly, for the sake of money, some stars advertise for items with low quality, even for fake commodities.They never care about consumers' interests.In my view, as spokespersons, celebrities represent the products.They should understand that the products they are endorsing concern their images and consumers' interests.Therefore, before endorsing products, they should learn about the products as much as possible.Only by doing so can they be trusted by their fans and protect the safety and legal rights of general public.预测作文25.TV Talent Show 1.有人赞成电视选秀节目 2.有人则反对 3.我的观点
【范文】
TV Talent Show An army of people today are fond of the TV talent show.they believe that show.They believe that the TV talent show can change their fate.At least, they say, the program office the opportunity to show and develop one's talents.On the contrary, a number of people hold negative attitude to TV talent shows.They maintain that the TV talent show today is like a river that has risen to its flood level.It misleads the youth and makes them believe that they can make a fortune or become famous overnight.As a result, a great many students can't calm down to study during the show's season.For my party, I believe that the TV talent show is like a double-edged sword and it is import for us to face it properly.For one thing, the TV studios are supposed to offer more stimulating and favorable shows.For another, the media ought to give people proper guidance and refrain from exaggerating the effects of the show.预测作文26.On Lottery 1.现在买票的人数越来越多 2.彩票的利与弊 3.我的看法 【范文】
On Lottery Lured by the big bucks, an increasing number of people in china purchase the lottery nowadays.Take Guangdong Province for example.The lottery sales in the province reach billions of RMB every year.Government-launched lotteries benefit the country.For example, welfare lottery has provided impetus to China's welfare development.Statistics showed that from 1987 to 1997, governments at all levels invested 1.41 billion yuan into urban welfare facilities, while welfare lotteries provided to it 4.1 billion yuan during the same period.However, lottery has its cons as well.The lottery would promote people‟s “get rich quick” fantasies and induce some people to spend so much money on it that they end in bankruptcy.In my view, people should play the lottery now that it is good for the country‟s development.But they should play it with a recreational, relaxed and normal attitude.They should buy it rationally, taking into account their own financial means.预测作文27.Dialects in Movies and TV Series 1.目前许多影视剧中都有地方方言
2.人们对此看法不同 3.我的看法 【范文】
Dialects in Movies and TV Series Nowadays in many movies or TV series dialects could be found without difficulty.Maybe it‟s the influence of some superstars who speak dialects that has led to such popularity of dialects.Is the prevalence of dialects a good phenomenon? Different people see it quite differently.Some people say it‟s ridiculous for movie characters to talk in dialects, which may turn out spoiling the aesthetic beauty of the movies as a whole of art, for some words of dialects are usually vulgar and full of curses.Others, however, consider it a good way to encourage cultural diversity for dialects to appear in movies and TV programs, which thereby become more dynamic and entertaining.As for me, dialects should be used with care.I have seen some movies crammed in so many abusive dialects that they simply become annoying arguments between mobs.So dialects could be good, but not always.预测作文28.Should Parents Read Their Children’s Diaries? 1.有人认为家长看孩子的日记无可厚非 2.有人认为家长不应该看孩子的日记 3.我认为…… 【范文】
Should Parents Read Their Children’s Diaries?
Should parents read their children‟s diaries? Some say, “Yes, they should”.If the child seemed to be having a problem and write it down in the diary, then if parents read it, it may help parents to know what they can do to give a hand.It could help a problem getting completely out of hand.However, some people insist that parents should not read their children‟s diary.Children should be allowed a certain amount of privacy as adults do.If parents have a question about what‟s going on with their children, it‟s their responsibility to open the channels of communication in different ways than to invade their privacy.I feel that it is unwise to read children‟s diaries, no matter what the circumstances are.Many teens keep diaries for the reason that they have „someone‟ to talk to, confide in and vent their frustrations without causing any problems with friends and family.If parents feel their children are in trouble, don‟t invade their privacy---that will only make things worse.Instead, talk with them.预测作文29.Don’t Rely Too Much on Computers
1.现在许多人越来越依赖电脑 2.过分依赖电脑带来写白字等问题 3.我的看法 【范文】
Don’t Rely Too Much on Computers
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.预测作文30.My Opinion on Blog 1.目前越来越多人开起了博客 2.也会带来一些问题 3.我的看法 【范文】
My Opinion on Blog With the improvement of blog services and the influence of some “star bloggers”, most of whom are celebrities, blog is becoming an important way for people to express themselves and communicate with others.Now, more and more people start to use blog services.However, blogs might give rise to some problems as well.Some bloggers would express their thoughts and ideas by writing them down in the blogs rather than communicate with their friends or family members.Day by day, blogs tend to draw people away from real life.What‟s worse, lack of face-to-face communication with others might isolate bloggers from the society, which would do harm to their mental health.In my view, blog is a good platform for people to show their personal experiences and communicate with others.However, bloggers should adjust the time

一诚信（Honesty）
When it comes to honesty, quite a lot of people believe it is essential to a person’s character and success.They base their idea on the following reasons: on one hand, successful business owes much to mutual trust;on another hand, great people in history such as Abraham Lincoln and Genete Washington set us good examples of being honest, they are great because they are honest.But some people think differently.They believe honesty is becoming out of date.Their reasons run as following: to begin with, cheating on exams is becoming more and more popular;in addition, some singer sand movie stars cheat on taxes;last but not the least, if you are not careful enough, you’ll buy some defective goods and fake products.It is high time we emphasized and encouraged honesty.We can take effective measures to restore it.For example, kids should be taught to tell truth, strict rules and regulations should be carried out to stop cheatings on exams and taxes, etc.二 竞争与合作(competition and cooperation)
When it comes to competition and cooperation, some people always emphasize competition but neglect cooperation.Their reasons run as following: to begin with, they believe only competition can help them defeat their counterparts;in addition, they think competition is the only way to lead to success.But some others hold different opinion.they think cooperation is as important as competition.They base their opinion on the following reasons: on one hand, cooperation can build trust between each other and help to bring long-term relationship;on another hand, cooperation can turn a small and weak business into a big and strong one.From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that both competition and cooperation are essential to success and thus should be emphasized at the same time.三 手机影响学习吗(Do Mobiles Distract Study)
Wherever you are, you can see many people equipped with mobile phones.It seems that the world becomes smaller nowadays.You could be found wherever you are so long as you take the mobile phone with you.And mobile phones are also becoming a new scene on campus.Students think it is extremely convenient for them to communicate with the outside world by using mobile phones, especially when they are hunting for jobs, so they call it an essential investment.Education experts analyze the entry of mobile phones into campus as an indication of social progress.And mobile phones have been considered advanced for its attractive functions.The youth of today send messages, surf on the net, listen to music and even take photos by using their mobile phones.To some extent, it reflects that college students are more and more involved in this modern society, rather than pedants(书呆子)in the “ivory tower”.As a coin has two sides, the mobile phone, while providing convenience, causes trouble too.In classrooms, the untimely(不合时宜的)ringing interrupts lectures and destroys the atmosphere of study, so it prompts many complaints.And the mobile phone users themselves also suffer.Therefore, we need to think more about how to integrate mobile phones properly into our lives．
四怎样面对压力(How to Deal with Stress)
Stress is a state of being upset that happens when we are under pressure.Both our feelings and our bodies get upset.We can even get emotionally and physically sick if we have too much stress for too long.Stress can come at us from every direction.For instance, it can come from fights with other people.It can come when we have too many things to do and too little time to do them.It can also come when we do not have enough money to pay for what we want.Since stress can make us sick, we have to learn how to deal with it.There are good ways and bad ways to do so.We should deal with stress in good ways, of course.Good ways to cut down on stress include changing our lifestyles.For example, we can learn either to get along with people or to stay away from them.We can decide what to do now, what to do later, and what to leave off doing forever.We can also figure out how to get money or we can cut down on what we want.We should not deal with stress in bad ways because bad ways to cut down on stress just lead to more troubles, for example, skipping out and leaving our work undone, blaming our problems on someone else, stealing or cheating.五 节约能源(Save the Energy Resources)
Another round of energy crisis is knocking at the door.In 2004, world oil consumption reached a new record, causing oil price in the international market to skyrocket(v 飞涨，突然升高)amazingly.As for china, it was reported that many traditional mineral cities in northeastern china had run into predicament(困境), with their economy collapsed and workers unemployed, only because coal had been mined out.Fossil energy resources, including coal, oil and gas, are unlike sunlight, water power and wind power which are generated consistently.They’re not practically reproductive during human history.Once consumed, they’re gone forever.If they were to be exhausted before we could find sufficient reproductive resources to replace them with, we’d have to live in entire blackout again like our ancestors have done thousands of years ago.That’s of course not what anyone would want to see.Due to technical limitations, people still have to utilize these resources now.As a result, we must economize them most cleverly.New techniques should be developed and applied to reduce energy cost in industry and daily life.Alternative energy should be employed wherever possible.eradicate any practice that wastes energy.Humans have overcome so many crises in history, and we’re sure to win this time also.

Part ⅡReading Comprehension(35 minutes)
Directions:There are 4 passages in this part.Each passage is fol lowed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark t he corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage 1
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
The ancient Chinese called jade the stone of immortality.It has been used as adornment by women for thousands of years.
Cutting and polishing the raw stone is a tedious process.It often takes months.After initial cutting,a piece is ground to its desired form—being passed from rough to smooth grindstones.“Our job is to subtract;we cannot add,”smiles an experienced carver.
In judging jade,a little knowledge is often a dangerous thing.It is the easiest gem to imitate.Some of the cheap natural jade can be dyed to a beautiful green.Cruder imitations are made of glass or plastic;but these are easier to detect,since they are smoother than the real gem,which has a slightly uneven surface and a rather greasy look.
No two gems are alike.Jade is priced according to its colour and translucence.Prices range from a few dollars for an opaque,dull-green stone to thousands for one with a true,clear,emerald green.The guidelines for buying jade are few and simple:Buy jade only after having seen it under natural light.Use another piece of good quality for comparison.Beware on unusually low prices.Finally,go to only reputable jewellers.
21.It often takes____ to cut and polish jade.
A)a short time B)a few weeks C)years D)months
22.Before being passed through grindstones,raw jade is first____.
A)carved B)subtracted C)cut D)polished
23.People find it easy to make____.
A)good jade B)imitation jade C)beautiful jade D)genuine jade
24.A piece of “jade” made of glass or plastic is ____.
A)uneven B)greasy C)rough D)smooth
25.A good piece of jade may cost____.
A)a few dollars B)a hundred dollars C)thousands of dollars D)millions of dollars
Passage 2 Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
American Indians played a central role in the war known as the American Revoluti on.To them,however,the dispute between the colonists and England was peripheral(边缘的).For American Indians the conflict was a war for American Indian independence,and whichever side they chose they lost it.Mary Brant was a powerful influence among the Iroquois.She was a Mohawk,the leader of the society of all Iroquois matrons,and the widow of Sir William Johnson,Superintendent of Indian Affairs.Her brother,Joseph Brant, is the best-known American Indian warrior of the Revolution,yet she may have exerted even more influence in the Confederacy than he did.She used her influence to keep the western tribes of Iroquois loyal to the English king,George Ⅲ.When the colonists won the war,she and her tribe had to abandon their lands-and retreat to Canada.On the other side,Nancy Ward held positions of authority in the Cherokee nation.She had fought as a warrior in the war against the Greeks and as a reward for her heroism was made “Beloved Woman”of the tribe.This office made her chief of the women’s council and a member of the council of chiefs.She was friendly with the White settlers and supported the Patriots during the Revolution.Yet the Cherokees too lost their land.
26.What is the main point the author makes in the passage?
A)Siding with the English in the Revolution helped American Indians regain their land.
B)At the time of the Revolution,the Superintendent of Indian Affairs had li ttle power. C)Regardless of whom they supported in the Revolution,American Indians lo st their land.
D)The outcome of the Revolution was largely determined by American Indian women.

B)Each influenced her tribe’s role in the American Revolution.
C)Each lost a brother in the American Revolution.
D)Each went to England after the American Revolution.
Passage 3 Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
It is in the joints of human body that movements of the bones take place.The movement itself is caused by the pull of sheets and cords of very tough tissue(组织)called muscle.Muscle tissue has the special ability to shorten itself so that the bone on which it pulls has to move.When muscle tissue shortens,it also bunches up(凸起).Muscle tissue covers the body in sheets,and bands that lie between the skin and the skeleton.The bones are the framework of the body,but the muscles fill out the body shape.Most muscles extend from one bone to another.When the muscle between the bones shortens,one bone has to move.The point where the muscle is fastened to the unmoving bone is called the origin of the muscle, whereas the point where the muscle is fastened to the bone that is to be moved is called the insertion.Sometimes the muscle is not attached directly to the bone but to a tough,nonstretchable cord ,or tendon that is attached to the bone.
Muscles do not push;they can only pull.To bend the arm at the elbow,the muscle at the front of the upper arm has to shorten and bunch up.To unbend the arm,other muscles in the back of the arm have to shorten.These two sets of muscles —the front and back—are said to act in opposition to each other.When one set is working ,the other set is usually relaxed.But there are times when both of them work.Sometimes muscles are called upon to do more than simply pull in one direction.They may have to perform a turning motion.To be able to do this ,the muscle must be attached to the bone at an angle.By pulling, the muscle can cause the bone to pivot.
31.According to the passage,movement occurs when a muscle____.
A)grows B)shortens C)relaxes D)pushes
32.The point at which a muscle is attached to the bone that moves is called the ____.
A)source B)insertion C)tendon D)diaphragm
33.The phrase“called upon”in line 12 is closest in meaning to which of the
following?
A)Required.B)Visited.C)Permitted.D)Subjected.
34.The passage implies that reversing the muscle-bone movement used to bend an arm requires____.
A)the relaxation of two sets of muscles B)the use of different muscles C)a different kind of tissue D)the enlargement of the muscle
35.Why are some muscles attached to bones at an angle?
A)To cause the muscles to push.B)To strengthen the muscles.
C)To shorten tissues.D)To perform a turning action.
Passage 4 Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Of the tens of thousands of ships on the ocean bottom,only a handful,less than1 percent,contain negotiable treasure,such as gold and jewels.Most give us a different,priceless treasure—history.A sunken ship lies in trust,preserved in the airless environment of the sea,and those in deep water are especially well protected.No dry land sites anywhere—except perhaps Egyptian tombs—are in a better state of preservation than a vessel deep in the ocean.A sunken ship,therefore,can be a rare window through which a moment in time is glimpsed.
This is not to imply that sunken ships are always found intact.Most ships break up on the way down,hit the bottom at about 100 miles per hour,and become a chaotic,confusing jumble(混乱的一堆).I recall the chagrin(懊恼)of a novice diver who ,after surfacing from an underwater tour of a 400-foot ship,asked his diving buddy.“Where was the wreck?” It takes experience to actually know sunken ship when one sees it.
But no matter what its condition on the way down,a ship deteriorates much more slowly as it sinks deeper into protective layer of sand and mud.Ancient vessels have been found in remarkably good condition.In 1997 a group of marine archaeologists excavating(发掘)a 900-year-old wreck recovered engraved glassware,Greek coins,bronze kettles,and amazingly,Greek jars containing seeds,almonds,and lentile—even a plate with chicken bones.
36.Which of the following is meant by the“priceless treasure”metioned in line 2?A)Valuable information.B)Ancient coins.C)Precious stones.D)Old books.
37.The author compares a sunken ship preserved in the deep sea to which of the following?
A)A tomb in Egypt.B)A Greek jar.C)A vacuum.D)A bronze chest.
38.According to the passage,which of the following usually happens to a ship as it sinks?
A)It remains in an upright position.B)It gets transported by the currents.
C)It breaks into pieces.D)It attracts marine life.
39.Which of the following objects found on the 900-year-old wreck most surp rised the author?
A)Money.B)Jars.C)Chicken bones.D)Glassware.
40.Which of the following features of an ancient ship is of most interest to the author?
A)Speed.B)Contents.C)Location.D)Design.

试卷二 Paper Two
Part ⅣShort Answer Questions(15 minutes)
Directions:There is 1 passage in this part with five questions or unfinished statements.Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words(not exceeding 10 words)
Icebergs are among nature’s most spectacular creations,and yet most people have
never seen one.A vague air of mystery envelops them.They come into being-somewhere-in faraway,frigid(寒冷的)waters,amid thunderous noise and splashing turbulence,which in most cases no one hears or sees.They exist only a short time and then slowly waste away just as unnoticed.
Objects of sheerest beauty,they have been called.Appearing in an endless variety of shapes,they may be dazzlingly white,or they may be glassy blue,green or purple,tinted faintly or in darker hues.They are graceful,stately,inspiring in calm,sunlit seas.
But they are also called frightening and dangerous,and that they are—in the nig ht,in the fog and in storms.Even in clear weather one is wise on stay a safe distance away from them.Most of their bulk is hidden below the water,so their underwater parts may extend out far beyond the visible top.Also,they may roll over unexpectedly,churning the waters around them.
Icebergs are parts of glaciers that break off drift into the water,float about awhile,and finally melt.Icebergs afloat today are made of snowflakes that have fallen over long ages of time.They embody snows that drifted down hundreds,or many thousands or some cases maybe a million years ago.The snows fell in polar regions and on cold mountains,where they melted only a little or not at all,and so collected to great depths over the years and centuries.
As each year’s snow accumulation lay on the surface,evaporation and melting caused the snowflakes slowly to lose their feathery points and become tiny grains of ice.When new snow fell on the top of the old,it too turned to icy grains.So blankets of snow and ice grains mounted layer upon layer and were of such great thickness that the weight of the upper layers compressed the lower ones.With time and pressure from above,the many small ice grains joined and changed to larger crystals,and eventually the deeper crystals merged into a solid mass of ice.
Questions:
71.Why does the author state that icebergs are rarely seen?
72.Why are icebergs dangerous according to the passage? 73.What do icebergs originate from?
74.In line 16,the expression “from above” refers to ____.
75.What’s the author’s attitude toward icebergs?

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Passage One
【文章大意】文章第一段讲述了玉石数千年来作为妇女装饰的用途。第二段讲述玉石的制
作过程，切割、打磨玉石一个历时数月的过程。第三段讲了玉的鉴别，因为玉是最好仿造 的宝石，所以对玉的了解不够是很易被骗的。第四段讲怎样买到真正的好玉，作者提出了简
便易行的四点建议即①在自然光下观察②与真正的好玉作比较③警惕便宜货④找有声誉的珠宝商购买。
21.D 由第二段第二句可知：雕琢一块玉需几个月的时间。
22.B 由第二段第二句可知：在进行磨光之前，需要修刻成需要的形状，即“往下减
而不是往上加”。
23.B 由第三段第二句可知：美玉最容易模仿。
24.D 由第三段第四句可知：较粗糙的仿制品是由玻璃和塑料制成的，但它们较易辨
认，因为它们比真的美玉更光滑。

Passage Two
【文章大意】文章讲述美国印第安人在美国独立战争中扮演了重要的角色。尽管他们认为
战争是为了争取美国印第安人的独立，但不论他们参加哪一方作战(英国方或美国方)等待他们的结局都是一样的，失去自己的土地。文章举了两个人物的不同的选择来说明这样一个事实。
26.C 这一段的中心意思是：无论美洲印第安人在美国革命战争中支持谁，最终他们
都失去了他们自己的土地。文中举了两个例子来说明这一观点。
27.A 在第五句作者介绍说：Mary Brant 是Mohawk 整个Iroquios部落的首领，是印第安事务主管Sir William Johnson 的遗孀。这说明Mary Brant的丈夫曾是政府官员。
28.C 在第九句作者讲到：Nancy Ward 在Cherokee民族掌权。这说明她是属Cherokee部族。
29.A 在第十句讲到：Nancy Ward 在与希腊的交战中作战勇猛，作为对她的女英
雄行为的奖赏，她成了“Beloved Woman”(“受人爱戴的女人”)。这个职位使她成了妇女协会的头领及首领委员会的一个成员。由此可知Nancy Ward是通过她的勇敢获得她的职位的。
30.B 这道题的题意为：Mary Brant 和Nancy Ward有何共性。作者举这两个例子最终
要说明的是，无论印第安人是支持英殖民者还是支持美国，最终都没有得到应有的待遇。这
两位领袖人物的行为说明她们各自都用自己的行为影响了各自部落在革命战争中的作用。
Passage Three 【文章大意】文章第一段讲述了人体骨头的运动是由肌肉拉伸控制的。作者具体解释了肌肉控制骨骼运动的过程，位于皮肤和骨架间的肌肉附着在骨头上，当其收缩时便带动了相应骨骼的移动。第二段强调了肌肉只能收缩，不能伸展，作者通过胳臂的收缩，伸展和扭转运动讲述了不同肌肉间如何相互配合完成多种不同的手臂动作。
31.B 在第三句谈到；肌肉组织具有缩短自己的特殊能力，其用处是使它所附在其上的骨胳可以运动。这说明，当肌肉缩短时，便会产生运动。
32.B 在第九句后半部分说到：肌肉所附着的将被移动的骨胳的那个点称为附着(insertion)。
33.A 这句话的意思为：有的时候，肌肉所需做的不仅仅是单方面的拉。这里的“cal
led upon”是“required”或“needed”的意思。
34.B 这一道题的题意为：用于弯曲胳臂的肌肉骨胳运动的相反运动需要„„。从第
一段第二句话可知：伸直胳臂需要胳臂背面的其他肌肉缩短。也就是需要用不同的肌肉。
35.D 在最后一句中说到：要能做转动运动，肌肉必须以一定的角度附着在骨胳上。
这说明某些骨肉以一定的角度附在骨胳上是为了能做转动动作，故D正确。
Passage Four
【文章大意】文章第一段讲在海底成千上万的沉船中，只有不到百分之一的装有财宝，大
部分沉船的价值在于给我们提供一个了解历史的窗口，因为沉船在深海中得到了极好的保护。第二段讲了多数沉船都四分五裂，辨认尚属不易，故沉船的价值不在于它的完整。那么又是什么呢?是沉船上的物品。最后一段说明了这一点。总之，全文讲述沉船的历史价值往往在于船上的物品，虽然沉船在深海底部保存得较陆上好得多，但其在下沉过程中破坏较大，有时沉到底部时已成为难于辨认的乱七八糟的一堆，但沉船上却能发现完好的物品。透过这些物品，我们就可以了解历史，了解过去。
36.A 从上下文可知；在众多的沉船中，仅有不到1%的船里有如金子和首饰类的可流
通的财物，大部分沉船给我们的是另一种珍贵的宝物——历史。这说明，“珍贵的宝物”
在此指的是历史，即这些沉船告诉我们一些有关不同时代的信息。
37.A 在第一段第四句讲到：也许除了埃及的古墓之外，陆地上没有哪个地方比深海
能更好地保护船只了。由这句话可知：作者把保护在深海里的沉船比作埃及的古墓。
38.C 在第二段第二句讲到：大部分船在下沉过程中破碎。
39.C 在最后一句中作者介绍说：1977年，一组海洋考古学者发掘了一只有900年历史的沉船，复原了雕刻的玻璃器，希腊硬币，铜壶，更令人吃惊的是希腊的装有种子、杏仁、小扁豆的罐，甚至一只盛有鸡骨头的盘子。这说明，最令作者吃惊的是鸡骨头。
40.B 在最后一段及第一段作者分别谈到的是船内的东西。这说明作者最感兴趣的是
古船装载的东西。
Part Ⅲ Vocabulary and structure
41.C 译文：他发现不值得为他可能遇到的最坏可能做好准备。解析：find it(宾 语)+形(宾补)+to do(真正宾语)为固定结构。worthwhile常用于本固定句型中：worthy 也是形容词，做表语时需接of。
42.C 译文：我宁愿他给我一个新的而不是找人把那个旧的修理一下。解析：would rather 前后用不同的主语来表示“某人宁愿让另一个人做某事”。在这种情况下从句中谓语动词，一般用过去式表示现在或将来要做的事。当谈到过去的动作时，用过去完成时。
43.D 译文：如果我来解决这个问题，我将用不同的方式。解析：此句的条件句是
对将来事实的推测，所以应用were to +v.
44.A 译文：如果所有不同的民族行为都很相似，这个世界将会非常单调。解析：a like 是副词，表示“以相似的方式”；likable意为“让人喜欢的”；likely是形容
词，意为“可能的”；like是动词。
45.A 译文：“液体之所以像固体一样是因为他们都有一定的体积”。
解析：本题考点为in that的用法。此题为in that作连词引出一个原因，意为“因为，由于”。例如：I am happy in that I have a good job 我很快乐，因为我有一份好的工作。此外that还可和其他介词构成搭配，如：except that(要不是，但是)but that(而不是)等。
46.B 译文：乐曲非常微弱，我很难听到。解析：faint用来指觉察到的东西“微弱 的”；vague常指某种想法，意见等不明确，意为“不清楚的，模糊的”；tedious“为沉闷的，乏味的”；peculiar(to)为“独特的，特有的”。
47.D 译文：电视是另外一种既可以让我们听到，又可以让我们看到演出者的主要交 流工具。解析：句中permit与句子主语呈主动关系，故可排除A和B。C中不定式作状语表示目的，此处语法正确，但hearing不合语法。因为to see 和to hear 为as well as 连接的平行结构。故选D，D中现在分词短语做状语表示补充说明。
48.D 译文：那位老人非常幸运，活过了这次心脏手术。解析：come through 指经历危险后“活了下来”。而come to 为“苏醒”；come across为“偶然遇见或发现”；come up with为“拿出或提出(办法、答案)等。
49.C 译文：塑料纤维做成的衣服同那些由自然纤维(例如：棉花，羊毛和丝)做成的
布相比：有一些优点。解析：clothing是衣服、被褥的总称，不能用one 或the one 来指代。what相当于先行词+that,后边需跟一个从句，而made of natural fibres是一个过去分词短语，不是从句所以D项也不能入选。只能用代词that来指代clothing.
50.C 译文：人们错误认为达尔文在说猴子是人类的祖先。解析：A项successor意
为“接替人、继任者”，B项offspring意为“子孙、后代”，C项predecessor 意为“前任，前辈”；D项breeder意为“饲养员，起源者”。根据句意“人们误以为达尔文是在说猴子是人类的祖先”，C项为正确选择。
51.C 译文：和我一起吃饭，好吗?解析：祈使句和感叹句之后可以加一个附加疑问
句，使口气变得客气一些。
52.D 译文：“倾盆大雨接连不断地下了一个多星期了，致使很多地方发生了滑坡”
。解析：据句意可知，此处用完成进行时，又因动作发生在过去的过去，故用过去完成时
。注意“rain cats and dogs”为习语，意为“下倾盆大雨”。
53.A 译文：—为什么史密斯先生没有加入国际学生组织?—他反对我们收会费。解 析：在动词短语object to 后必须用名词或动名词做宾语。动名词前面可以加一个物主代词或名词的所有格来表示这一动名词的逻辑主语。其他三个选项不合语法。
54.C 译文：所谓的偶数如下：2、4、6、8等等。解析：as follows 为固定搭配，意为“如下”。
55.C 译文：他有时脾气比较坏，但在本质上他是一个好人。解析：at heart 意为
“在内心”；in heart 意为“情绪高”；with heart意为“真心的”；by heart意为“用心记”。
56.A 译文：想象力丰富的孩子总喜欢编神话故事。解析：A项imaginative 意为“
富于想象
力的，想象丰富的”；B项为imagine的分词形式；C项imaginary意为“虚构的”；D项imaginable意为“可以想象得到的”。
57.A 译文：这位诚实的老人被控这项罪名而受到起诉是不公平的。〖JP2〗解析：
accuse 和charge 都可表示“控告”，但用于不同的结构。即分别用于accuse sb.of sth.和charge sb.with sth.结构中，表示为“控告某人犯了某罪”。而blame为“指责”，用被动式时，后接for;sentence为“判刑”，后接to。
58.A 译文：英语对理工科的学生来说很重要。解析：在英语中，of加上一
类表示性质、质量、颜色、大小、类型、出身等词(其中有不少抽象名词并没有相适的形容 词)可以用来表示特征，这种of+抽象名词的结构，在句中除做表语外，还可做定语和补足语。此句中of importance相当于形容词 important，类似的一组表达法有：be of importance(help,significance,value,use,etc.)。
59.B 译文：现在，由于家用电器，家务活变得比以前容易得多了。
解析：appliances 常用于指家用电器；而instruments则多指精细工作或科学上所用的“精密仪器”；apparatus指“一套仪器；一套器械装置”；facilities“设备”，指使工作便利的工具或环境。
60.D 译文：海伦不知道我修理房子花了多少时间，如果她发现了的话，我敢肯定她永远也不会原谅我的。解析：主句为一个错综虚拟句。从句是与过去事实相反的假设，而主句则表示与现在事实相反，故用would do 而A、B、和C、都不是虚拟句式。
61.B 句意：他刚到，她就开始埋怨。
解析：在英语中以下四个副词 hardly,barely,scarcely 和no sooner 位于句首要引起主谓倒装。要注意以下两点：①记住它们的固定连接方式：hardly/barely/scarely...when;no sooner...than;②以上四种结构主句中的谓语动词用过去完成式，从句中的谓语用过去式。A、C、D三项结构时态不合要求。
62.B 译文：冰在加热后，就会变成水。
解析：分词作状语时，它的逻辑主语应是句子的主语。当句子的主语是分词动作的发出者，用现在分词；当句子的主语是分词动作的承受者，用过去分词。本题中，主语ice是heat动作的承受者，它们之间是一种被动关系，该用过去分词；为了强调分词短语所表示的是时间状语，在其前加上连词when，故B项为正确答案。
63.D 译文：你得有相隔约10米的两棵树，用它们来支撑你的帐篷。 解析：which指前面的two trees意为“在两树之间悬挂帐篷”。本句逗号后相当于非限制性定语从句，there 和them均非关系代词，where虽然可作关系副词，但不能指代前面的two trees。
64.B 译文：有证据表明，某些具体的声音，即使是六个月大的婴儿也能够辨认出来。
解析：that引导同位语从句，说明evidence其他三个词不能引导同位语从句。
65.C 译文：湖边上曾经有一些树，是吗?解析：There used to 句型上相当于ther e be句型，所以此处用be提问。动词的数应与后面的名词一致。
66.B 译文：由于他不喜欢这个电视节目，他换到另一个频道。
解析：switch to 用于带按钮开关等物体的扭转、转换。也可指转换话题；而convert to 指“从一种形式或用途转换成另一种”。turn to 意为“开始工作；开始动手”；change into为“改换成”。
67.D 译文：没有那些庞大的机器的帮助，这条河上的大桥不可能在去年建成。解
析：这是由without引起的虚拟语气。由last year可知此句与过去事实相反，故用could+完成体。should+完成体表示过去该做某事而实际上却没有做。
68.C 译文：电台、电视和出版社是三种最常见的传递新闻和信息的方式。
解析：名词前有几个修饰成分时，其排列顺序一般为：限定词→描绘形容词→表示大小，新旧的形容词→表示颜色的形容词→表示类别的形容词→表示类别的名词→名词中心词。
69.C 译文：从现在开始，我要随时知道你过得怎么样。解析：此处需用过去分词
做补语，keep myself informed of 意为“随时使自己得知”。现在分词informing 意为“通知(他人)”，且跟从句时，不需用of,故B不对。
70.A 译文：请务必把这些信送到邮局。解析：see(to it)that为固定结构，意为“务必使„„，保证使„„”。

Part Ⅴ Writing
Laid-off Workers Need Help
A total of 11.5 million workers had been laid off from the country’s money-losing or bankrupt enterprises by the end of last year,and the figure is expected to continue to rise as technology becomes more advanced and in-depth reform of state-owned enterprises takes off.
Helping to solve the re-employment problem is of vital importance to the country’s reform,development and stability.Although financial aid may help temporarily,the lasting remedy is to provide vocational training to the laid-off workers and those in danger of losing their jobs.Many laid-off workers have low technical ability,so they cannot find new jobs.Some people are skilled at their jobs,but when they are laid-off,they must learn new skills to shift to new jobs.Some statistics indicates that trained workers are three times as likely to be re-employed as those who did not participate in training programmes.
Are employment oriented training network should be formed immediately to cover as many laid-off workers as possible to enhance their abilities to face challenges.In addition,facilities and employment centres run by trade unions should join hands with local authorities to provide timely job information for the laid-off workers.
