第一篇:口试第一项样题(阅读短文章并回答问题
Sample One
Directions: Please read the passage aloud and then answer two questions.There are many reasons why family life in Britain has changed so much in the last 60 years.The liberation of women in the early part of 20th century and the social and economical effects of World War II had a great impact on traditional family life.Women became essential to industry and the professions.During the war they had worked in factories and proved their worth, and, with the loss of millions of men, their services were dispensable to the nation.More recently, great advances in scientific knowledge, and particularly in medicine, have enormous social consequences.Children are better cared for and farther healthier.Infant death is low.Above all, parents can now plan the size of their family if they wish through more effective means of birth control.Different attitudes to religion, authority and tradition generally have also greatly contributed to changes in family life.But these developments have affected all aspects of society.It is particularly interesting to note that the concept of “the family” as a social unit has survived all these challenges.Q1.What factors contribute to the great change in family life in Britain?
Q2: Do you think woman should work after they get married? Why or why not?
Sample Two
Modern zoos are very different from zoos that were built sixty years ago.At that time, zoos were places where people could go to see animals from many parts of the world.The animals lived in caged that were made of concrete with iron bars, cages that were easy to keep clean.Unfortunately for the animals, the cages were small and impossible to hide in.The zoo environment was anything but natural.Although the zoo took good care of the animals and fed them well, many of the animals did not thrive;they behaved in strange ways, and they often became ill.In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural habitats.The animals are given more freedom in large areas so that they can live as they would in nature.Even the appearance of zoos has changed.Trees and grass grow in the cages, and streams of water flow through the areas that animals live in.There are few bars: instead, there is often only a deep itch, filled with water, surrounding an area where several species of animals live together as they would naturally.Q1.Do you think animals in modern zoos can thrive? Why or why not? Q2.What benefits can zoos bring to people?

一朵早醒的桃花
(1)残冬季节,世界颓败了,天地间亮丽的色彩全都熄灭。
(2)小院里那株矮小的桃树落尽了叶子,苍黑的裸枝守着它丑陋的疤痕,伛偻在荒秽的角落,卑怯而孤寂。
(3)我想念一朵小花。
(4)这是一朵早醒的桃花,它曾经开放在这株树的一根枝条上,灼灼的颜色将我照亮。至今它那轻柔的枝条还拂动我的记忆,使我舒畅难禁。
(5)那时天空正阴郁。这座被世界遗忘的小院,守着一隅冻土冬眠,白昼和夜晚同样的寂寥,没有色彩,没有生命的消息。
(6)而这朵花却骤然开放了,它独自立在枝头,大胆地舒展那娇小的花瓣,畅舒生命中全部的芳香和颜色,露出新鲜的浅笑,这死寂的世界顿时洋溢着生气。它张开纯真的眼睛,看这寥落的小院,看满院的秽土和残枝败叶,看那白寂的墙和苍灰的楼房,它的眼色越过萧索的棚栏,投向那冥漠的茫茫天宇。
(7)高邈的天空连同它覆盖下的万物冰冷地斜睨它,这朵早开的小花,它太小了,太轻、太微弱了。
(8)但它毫不羞怯地染红自己,红得那么深,那么浓艳,那么沉醉,无忌无讳地红,不掩不遮地红,在天边灰暗的背景上孤独地灿烂。
(9)它就在这一根丑陋的枝条上,独自营造着春天,充实它绚烂的年华,享受它美丽的生命。
(10)它控制不住生命的喜悦,笑出声来,声音是那么甜柔新鲜,昏梦的枝条和上下的根须都听到它这无所不在的声音。于是生命在粗糙的皮下波动、流淌,聚成苞蕾,又有一朵开了,又一朵„„一簇簇一团团的花,占领了所有的枝条。这些追随者,摹仿它的颜色和姿态,拥有和分享着春天。
(11)于是引来一阵阵和暖的风,在它们的花瓣上亲昵地抚摸,把它们美艳的故事,四处张扬。于是招来一滴滴露珠,依偎着它们的娇靥旋舞虹彩,于是引来一群群异乡的蜜蜂,围绕它们嘤嘤飞鸣,倾听那些甜蜜的销魂的诉说。
(12)观赏者们群集而至,他们从灰袍中伸出头来,赞美说:这些春的使者,生命的先觉者,领风骚的佳丽,真是三春第一红,百卉第一香啊!
(13)但那朵最早开放的小花此刻却隐没了,人们不认识它,不知它寄托在那个位置。那朵站得最高的花不是它,那朵开得最煊赫的花不是它,那颗曾经被它染红的露珠,那只曾经被它迷醉的蜜蜂,都不记得它。
(14)在这世界的一个季节里,它开放过一阵,最先孤独地红过、香过、美丽过,它自己也没留下记忆,就消逝了。
(15)为此,我悼念它,这朵早醒的小花。

With the expansion of enrollment in China’s higher education institutions that began in 1999, the employment market is now flooded with university graduates.Despite these huge increases in the number of students, statistics show that the percentage of China’s population that has received higher education is only around 5 percent of the nation’s total, lagging far behind the developed countries.Undoubtedly, as more and more people receive higher education, today’s university and college students will face increasingly intense competition in the market.2005 Suggestions for the 2008 Beijing Olympics As soon as the curtain came down on the 28th Olympic games in Athens, the world’s focus shifted east to Beijing.The Olympics can be seen as away for a nation to exhibit itself to the world.Beijing is now busy preparing itself to hold the Olympic Games.What suggestions can you offer to the Olympic organizing committee to ensure a successful 29th Olympic Games? 2005 Should firecrackers and fireworks be allowed during the Spring Festival? In many big cities, firecrackers and fireworks have been banned for a number of years because of safety and environmental concerns.Recently, however, some people have suggested that the government should lift the ban during the Spring Festival because, in their opinion, firecrackers and fireworks are an integral part of the traditional Chinese New Year celebration and, without them, the Spring festival lacks a true festival atmosphere.Some cities have thus lifted the ban but many others have not.Suppose you were the mayor of a big city, where people’s views on this issue could not be reconciled.What do you think the government should do? Please give reasons to support your ideas.2006

Why or why not? 2008 The “Car Free Day” Campaign in China
Every September 22 is a “Car Free Day” in many countries around the world.Chengdu, capital of southeast China’s Sichuan Province, pioneerd China’s first “Car Free Day” on October 14, 2000.So far, over 100 Chinese cities have responded positively to the “Car Free Day” idea.Residents of these cities are urged to take public transport, ride bikes or walk instead of using their cars.Do you think this “Car Free Day” campaign is meaningful? 2009 Should theWeek-long Labor Day Holiday be Resumed? Since 1999, Chinese people have enjoyed three week-long holidays(or so-called “golden weeks”): the Lunar New Year, the Labor Day holiday, and the National Day holiday.However, in 2008, the government shortened the Labor Day Golden Week to athree-day holiday and added three new holidays to celebrate the Qingming, Duanwu, and Autumn Festivals.Recently, there have been calls for resuming the week-long Labor Day holiday.Do you think the Labor Day Golden Week should be resumed? 2010

第四篇:英文文章题目的大小写问题
一般实词(名词、动词、代词、形容词、副词等)首字母大写,虚词(介词、冠词、连词、感叹词)首字母小写。标题第一个单词、最后一个单词无论词性首字母应该大写。超过5个字母的虚词,如between、without、alongside、underneath等应该大写。如果是重要提示性标题,或者是专有名称标题,可以全部字母都用大写,但这种用法应慎重。附:英文:标题 内容提要关键词参考文献
1.英文题名(标题)
1)题名的结构。英文题名以短语为主要形式,尤以名词短语(noun phrase)最常见,即题名基本上由一个或几个名词加上其前置和(或)后置定语构成。例如: Discussion About the Envy of Children an the Aged(儿童与老人之妒论略),Principles to Follow in Enrolling Talents in Higher Education Institutions(高校人才引进应遵循的原则)。短语型题名要确定好中心词,再进行前后修饰。各个词的顺序很重要,词序不当,会导致表达不准。题名一般不应是陈述句,因为题名主要起标示作用,而陈述句容易使题名具有判断式的语义;况且陈述句不够精练和醒目,重点也不易突出。少数情况(评述性、综述性和驳斥性)下可以用疑问句做题名,因为疑问句可有探讨性语气,易引起读者兴趣。例如: Can Agricultural Mechanization be Realized Without Petroleum?(农业机械化能离开石油吗 ?)。
2)题名的字数。题名不应过长。总的原则是,题名应确切、简练、醒目,在能准确反映论文特定内容的前提下,题名词数越少越好,一般不宜超过 10 个实词。专家建议不要超过 15 个字,根据人的记忆特点,最好不超过 12 个字,否则不易记忆,最大限度一般不超过 20 个字。外文题名
3)中英文题名的一致性。同一篇论文,其英文题名与中文题名内容上应一致,但不等于说词语要一一对应。在许多情况下,个别非实质性的词可以省略或变动。
4)题名中的大小写。题名字母的大小写有以下三种格式。A.全部字母大写。例如: DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ENVY OF CHIDREN AND THE AGED。B.每个词的首字母大写,但三个或四个字母以下的冠词、连词、介词全部小写。例如: From “Go-back-to-history” to Non-history----A Criticism of New Historicism。C.题名第一个词的首字母大写,其余字母均小写。例如: Topographic inversion of interval velocities .一般采用 B.格式。
2.作者与作者单位的英译
1)作者。中国人名按汉语拼音拼写。中国作者姓名的汉语拼音采用如下写法:姓前名 后,中间为空格,例如: Li Ping(李平)Li Xiaoping(李小平)。
2)单位。单位名称要写全(由小到大)。例如: No.152, Xingan West Road, Guangzhou, Guangdong。地名的拼写方法是:第一个字的头字母大写,后面的字紧跟在后面小写,例如: Beijing, Nanhai。
3.英文摘要
原则上讲,中文摘要编写的注意事项都适用于英文摘要,摘要的内容主要是 ① 点明主题,解析文章的目的或意图; ② 介绍主要内容,使读者迅速了解文章或书籍的概貌; ③ 提出结论或建议,以供读者参考。但是,英语有其自己的表达方式、语言习惯,最主要的是中译英时往往造成所占篇幅较长,同样内容的一段文字,若用英文来描述,其占用的篇幅可能比中文多一倍。因此,撰写英文摘要更应注意简洁明了,力争用最短的篇幅提供最主要的信息。中英文摘要的一致性主要是指内容方面的一致性。对这个问题的认识存在两个误区,一是认为两个摘要的内容“差不多就行”,因此在英文摘要中随意删去中文摘要的重点内容,或随意增补中文摘要所未提及的内容,这样很容易造成文摘重心转移,甚至偏离主题。二是认为英文摘要是中文摘要的硬性对译,对中文摘要中的每一个字都不敢遗漏,这往往使英文摘要用词累赘、重复,显得拖沓、冗长。英文摘要应严格、全面的表达中文摘要的内容,不能随意增删,但这并不意味着一个字也不能改动,具体撰写方式应遵循英文语法修辞规则,符合英
文专业术语规范,并照顾到英文的表达习惯。选择适当的时态和语态,是使摘要符合英文语法修辞规则的前提。通常情况下,摘要中谓语动词的时态和语态都不是通篇一律的,而应根据具体内容而有所变化,否则容易造成理解上的混乱。但这种变化又并非无章可循,其中存在着如下一些规律:
1)英文摘要的时态。英文摘要时态的运用以简练为佳,常用一般现在时、一般过去时,少用现在完成时、过去完成时,进行时态和其他复合时态基本不用。
A.一般现在时。用于说明研究目的、叙述研究内容、描述结果、得出结论、提出建议或讨论等。例如: This study(investigation)is(conducted, undertaken)to…,The result shows(reveals)that…,It is found that…,The conclusions are…,The author suggests that… .涉及到公认事实、自然规律、永恒真理等,也要用一般现在时。
B.一般过去时。用于叙述过去某一时刻(时段)的发现、某一研究过程(实验、观察、调查等过程)。例如: The techniques of questionnaire and interview were applied to study women customers' demand for cosmetics in January and August, 2005.需要指出的是,用一般过去时描述的发现、现象,往往是尚不能确认为自然规律、永恒真理的,而只是当时如何如何;所描述的研究过程也明显带有过去时间的痕迹。
C.现在完成时和过去完成时。完成时少用,但不是不用。现在完成时把过去发生的或过去已完成的事情与现在联系起来,而过去完成时可用来表示过去某一时间以前已经完成的事情,或在一个过去事情完成之前就已完成的另一过去行为。例如: Concrete has been studied for many years.Man has not yet learned to store the solar energy.2)英文摘要的语态。采用何种语态,既要考虑摘要的特点,又要满足表达的需要。一篇摘要很短,尽量不要随便混用,更不要在一个句子里混用。在多数情况下采用被动语态。采用被动语态的情况主要有:说明事实经过时,某件事是谁做的,无须一一证明;为强调动作承受者;有些情况必须用强调的事物做主语,例如: In this case, a greater accuracy in measuring distance might be obtained.在某些情况下,特别是表达作者或有关专家的观点时,又常使用主动语态,其优点是鲜明有力。而且有时摘要中谓语动词采用主动语态有助于文字清晰、简洁及表达有力。例如: The author systematically introduces the history and development of the tissue culture of poplar 比 The history and development of the tissue culture of poplar are introduced systematically 语感要强。
3)英文摘要的人称。摘要的首句多用第三人称 This paper… 等开头,或采用更简洁的被动语态,一般不用第一人称。)遣词造句。掌握一定的遣词造句技巧,简单、准确地表达作者的观点,减少读者的误解。
A.用词力求简单,在表达同样意思时,尽量用短词代替长词,以常用词代替生僻词。但是当描述方法、步骤时,应该用狭义词代替广义词。例如,英文中有不少动词 do, run, get, take 等,虽简单常用,但其意义少则十几个,多则几十个,用这类词来描述研究过程,读者难免产生误解,甚至会不知所云,这就要求根据具体情况,选择意义相对明确的词诸如 perform, achieve 等,以便于读者理解。
B.造句。尽量使用短句,长句容易造成语义不清;但要避免单调和重复。一是熟悉英文摘要的常用句型:尽管英文的句型种类繁多,丰富多彩,但摘要的常用句型却很有限,而且形成了一定的规律,大体可归纳为(1)表示研究目的,常用在摘要之首 In order to……This paper describes……The purpose of this study is……(2)表示研究的对象与方法 The curative effect/function] of certain drug was observed/studied…(3)表示研究的结果: The result showed/It proved/The authors found that…(4)表示结论、观点或建议: The authors suggest/conclude/consider that…。二是尽量采用-ing 分词和-ed 分词作定语,少用关系
代词 which , who 等引导的定语从句。由于摘要的时态多采用一般过去时,使用关系代词引导的定语从句不但会使句式变得复杂,而且容易造成时态混乱(因为定语和它所修饰的主语、宾语之间有时存在一定的 “时间差”,而过去完成时、过去将来时等往往难以准确判定。采用-ing 分词和-ed 分词作定语,在简化语句的同时,还可以减少时态判定的失误。
5)注意事项。在英文摘要的写作过程中应避免一些常见的错误。A.冠词。主要是定冠词 the 易被漏用。the 用于表示整个群体、分类、时间、地名以外的独一无二的事物、形容词最高级等较易掌握,用于特指时常被漏用。这里有个原则,即当我们用 the 时,听者或读者已经确知我们所指的是什么。例如: The author designed a new machine.The machine is operated with solar energy.由于现在缩略语越来越多,要注意区分 a 和 an,如 an X ray.B.数词。避免用阿拉伯数字作首词,如: Three hundred samples are collected… 中的 Three hundred 不要写成 300.C.单复数。一些名词单复数形式不易辨认,从而造成谓语形式出错。总之,多看英文文献,积累经验,摸索规律,提高英文写作水平,才能写好英文摘要。英文摘要常见句型
1)This paper deals with...2)This article focuses on the topics of...3)This essay presents knowledge that...4)This thesis discusses...5)This thesis analyzes...6)This paper provides an overview of...7)This paper elaborates on...8)This article gives an overview of...9)This paper provides a method of...10)This paper considers...11)The writer of this paper discusses...12)This paper strongly emphasizes...13)This article explores...14)This paper tries to describe...15)This article covers the role of chemicals in...16)This paper presents up to date information on...17)This article not only describes...but also suggests...18)This paper includes discussions concerning...19)This article compares...and summarizes key findings.20)This paper introduces an applicable procedure to analyze...21)This paper offers the latest information regarding...22)This paper is devoted to examining the role of...23)This paper addresses important topics including...24)This paper expresses views on...25)This paper reports the latest information on...26)This paper provides an analysis of...27)This paper gives an account of...28)The aim of this paper is to determine...29)The objective of this paper is to explore...30)The purpose of this article is to review/ prove/ show/ present/ develop/ generalize/ investigate
4.关键词
关键词是反映文章最主要内容的术语,对文献检索有重要作用。关键词一般用名词,而且从标题或摘要中选取,每篇文章可选 3 ~ 8 个关键词,文章题名中的人名、地名也可作为关键词标出。应标注中英文关键词。中、英文关键词应一一对应。中文关键词前应冠以“关键词:”,英文关键词前冠以“ Key words :”作为标识。多个关键词之间应以分号分隔,以便于计算机自动切分。将关键词扩展成词组 / 短语,毋用单一词汇,而是在单一词汇基础上进行扩展,如:营销→网络营销→网络营销管理。切记避免关键字堆砌。
5.英文参考文献
英文参考文献的顺序按作者(编者)姓名的字母依次排列。作者(编者)为一人或多人中的第一作者,其姓写在前面,并用逗号与名字隔开;非第一作者的姓名仍然把名写在前,姓写在后面。同一作者的不同著作按照出版时间先后顺序排列,其著作一律排在论文前面。同一作者的其他著作,用横线代替作者名字。没有作者(编写)的按文献名称的字母顺序排列。著作的出版信息,如出版地、出版社不再用括号括起,出版时间写在作者(编者)姓名后,用括号括起来,用逗号与文献名称隔开。期刊杂志中的文章要标明起止页码,页码前不必加 p.或 pp.。首行顶格。当文献信息超过一行时,从第二行起,缩进两个字母的距离。例如:
Aron, Raymond(1966), Peace and War , New York: Doubleday.Baldwin, David(ed.)(1993), Neorealism and Neoliberalism : The Cotemporary Debate, New York: Columbia University Press.Blechman, Barry M.and Stephen S.Kaplan(1978), Force without War , Washington D.C.: The Brookings Institution.
第五篇:新形势理想信念问题研究题纲
新形势下党员干部坚定理想信念问题研究
岑溪市委党校副校长梁伯源
共产主义理想和社会主义信念,是建立在马克思主义揭示的人类发展规律的基础上的。党在现阶段的任务是:领导全党全国人民建设有国中特色的社会主义。
一、坚持理想信念,是党员领导干部在新时期保持共产党员先进性的基本要求——理想和信念不是空的,有着巨大的感召力。
——江泽民同志在“三讲”时曾经设问:“参加革命是为什么?现在当干部应该做什么?将来身后应该留点什么?”
——从某种意义上说,中国共产党人的理想信念就是实现小康社会,建设有中国特色主义,最终实现共产主义。
二、坚持理想信念,党员干部要带头加强党性修养和党性锻炼。
——共产党员的党性是党的先进性在党员身上的具体体现。
——具有坚强的党性,是做合格党员、合格党员干部的一个基本要求。
——中国共产党的主体是党员,自然,党员的修养体现党的基本形象。
当前,党员干部应着重从以下四个方面加强党性修养和锻炼:
(一)注重理论学习,在深入学习中加强党性修养和党性锻炼。没有先进理论武装党,不可能是先进的党;没有先进理论武装的领导干部,不可能发挥其主导作用。
(二)强化党的信念,在严格执行党章中加强党性修养和党性锻炼。共产党员要时刻想到自己是一名共产党员。想到自己是一名共产党员,就要想到党的性质、宗旨和奋斗目标,想到党的组织纪律和规章制度,想到党员的权利和义务,就要身体力行,严格遵守和执行党章。
(三)坚持执政为民,在自觉践行党的宗旨中加强党性修养和党性锻炼。立党为公,执政为民是“三个代表”重要思想的本质,是党的先进性的集中体现。
(四)坚持带好头、引好路,在常修“五心”中加强党性修养和党性锻炼。一是要修默默奉献的平常心;二是要修孜孜以求的事业心;三是要修严谨认真的细致心;四是要修一视同仁的公正心;五是要修团结协作的大局心。
三、坚持理想信念,坚定不移地在建设有中国特色社会主义而奋斗
——崇高的理想信念,始终是共产党人保持先锋的精神动力。
——坚定理想信念,必须把胸怀共产主义的崇高理想与坚定走中国特色社会主义道路的信念结合起来,矢志不移地为实现党在社会主义初级阶段的基本路线、基本纲领而奋斗,扎扎实实地做好当前的每一项工作。
(一)、治国之道,必先富民,党员干部要始终不渝地做到立党为公、执政为民,做合格的人民公仆
(二)、勤奋工作,兢兢业业,党员干部要扎扎实实地提高实践“三个代表”重要思想的本领
(三)、满腔热诚,身体力行,党员干部要坚持用科学的发展观全面建设小康社会。中国共产党章程上写到“党的最高理想和最终目标是实现共产主义”。每个共产党员入党时都宣誓:为共产主义奋斗终身。我们只要胸怀共产主义远大理想,脚踏实地地为实现党在现阶段的基本纲领而奋斗,我们的目标就一定能实现。
