Bicycle CommutingI may not be a movie star,best-selling author,or millionaire when I grow up,but one thing I will be known for,at least locally,is commuting by bicycle.It's sad to see how few people do even though many could.Lots of people eagerly campaign for the reduction of greenhouse gases,but by driving cars,they're still contributing to the problem.You might be picturing me as an extreme environmentalist(环保主义者),but I'm not one of thoseteenagers who wear shirts that say“Help save the world:Recycle.”Actually,my interest in exercise,health,and fitness led me to cycling.Cycling can help you lose weight,improve your health,and prevent many diseases.Cycling also carries a relatively low chance of injury.While being good for your body,bicycle commuting is also a great way to cut greenhouse gases.Many environmentalists recycle,plant tees,and drive hybrid cars(混合动力汽车),but bicyclecommuting could be even more effective than all of those combined.You could cut down the amount of greenhouse gases just by commuting by bicycle a few times a week.Bicycle commuting saves money too.When you buy your bicycle and the things that usually go with it,you might be shocked by the cost.But if you think about the increasingly high gas prices, you will know for sure that you can save a significant amount each year by not driving a car.You might think that you don't have time for bicycle commuting Actually,you probably do.You could cut back on your TV time and pick up this activity.It helps you care for the environment, save money,and most importantly get fit.1.I will write a best-selling book on cycling.A.TrueB.FalseC Not Given2.Many local people commute by bicycle.A.TrueB.FalseC Not Given3.I am devoted to environmental protection.A.TrueB.FalseC Not Given4.I started cycling to improve my health.A.TrueB.FalseC Not Given5.People are less likely to get injured while cycling.A.TrueB.FalseC Not Given6.People drive to work for convenience.A.TrueB.FalseC Not Given7.Bicycle commuting could be more effective in reducing greenhouse gases.A.TrueB.FalseC Not Given8.People are in a good mood while cycling.A.TrueB.FalseC Not Given9.Gas prices keep going up.A.TrueB.FalseC Not Given10.Bikes are inexpensive to most people.A.TrueB.FalseC Not Given第二部分:阅读选择（第11~15题,每题2分,共10分）阅读下面短文,请从短文后所给各题的4个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出1个最佳选项,并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。

2023年4月高等教育自学考试英语(二)全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Big English TestHello! My name is Lily and I'm 8 years old. This year, I had to take a really big English test called the Higher EducationSelf-Study Exam for English Level 2. It was super hard, but I studied really really hard too!My teacher Miss Wong told our class that we needed to take this test because English is a very important language. She said if we can speak and write good English, we can talk to people all around the world! That's so cool. I want pen pals in America, Britain, Australia, and everywhere!To get ready, we practiced English every single day at school. We learned lots of new vocabulary words like "diligent", "persevere", and "accomplish". Miss Wong said using bigger words makes you sound smarter. We also read loads of stories, articles, and poems in English. Some were pretty confusing at first, but Miss Wong helped us understand.The writing part was one of the hardest for me. We had to write all sorts of things like letters, essays, reports, and stories. Making sure I used proper grammar with the right verb tenses, punctuation, and everything was super tricky. I made so many silly mistakes at the start! But Miss Wong marked up my writing in red pen, and I learned from my errors.Speaking English was scary too. We had to answer questions, describe pictures, role play conversations, and even give full presentations in front of the class. My hands got all sweaty and I felt butterflies in my tummy! But Miss Wong said being a tiny bit nervous is okay, as long as you prepared properly. The more we practiced, the more confident I got.When the big test day finally came, I was one nervous Nelly! But I reminded myself of all the hard work I'd done. I ate a nice breakfast, did some deep breaths, and headed to the exam hall feeling ready to do my best.The first section was listening. There were recordings of conversations, lectures, news reports, and more to listen to. I had to answer multiple choice questions showing I understood the main ideas and details. It was pretty tough, but I used my skills like blocking out distractions and concentrating extra hard.Next up was reading. We had to read all sorts of passages and answer questions about them. There were stories, articles, advertisements, and more. Some questions asked about specifics details or facts from the text. Others wanted us to make inferences about the author's purpose, tone, and implied meanings between the lines. I read slowly and carefully to make sure I didn't miss any clues.The writing section was still hard for me, but not as scary as I feared. We had to write different types of essays, letters, proposals, and reports. I just took it step-by-step, planning out my ideas first before starting each draft. I made sure to use a range of vocabulary and sentence structures. Most importantly, I double checked that all my grammar and spelling was correct!Finally, there was the speaking part where we had to answer questions and describe pictures, role plays, and topics out loud. When it was my turn, I blocked out the tiny audience and imagined I was just talking to Miss Wong during practice. I spoke loudly, clearly, and with confidence about what I knew.Phew, after what felt like forever, the marathon test was finally over! I was so exhausted, but really proud of myself for pushing through. No matter how I scored, I knew I had worked my absolute hardest.A few weeks later, the results came back - I PASSED! Miss Wong hugged me with the biggest smile on her face. She said my English skills had improved so incredibly much from all my efforts. I may be just a kid, but I accomplished something huge.Now I love showing off my English whenever I can. I'll read books, watch movies, and listen to music in English. I'm going to keep working super hard so one day I can be an English language expert! Who knows, maybe I could even be an English teacher like Miss Wong when I grow up. For now, I'm just proud I never gave up on my dream of learning this amazing global language.The end! Those are my thoughts on the big English test I took. It was no walk in the park, but studying and practicing as hard as I could helped me feel prepared. I'm so glad I stuck with it because now English opens up a whole new world for me. Never stop learning and reaching for your goals! Thanks for reading my story.篇2The Big English Test for Grown-UpsHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 8 years old. My big sister Jessica just took a really important English test called theSelf-Taught Higher Education Examination for English (Level 2). It's a huge test that grown-ups have to pass to get better jobs or go to university. I don't know too much about it, but Jessica told me all about her experience, and I thought it was really interesting!Jessica has been studying so hard for this test for a whole year. She would sit at her desk for hours every night, reading through her big, thick textbooks and practicing writing essays. Sometimes she would make flashcards with vocabulary words and grammar rules to help her memorize everything. It篇3The Big Test for Grown-UpsHey there! Are you a grown-up getting ready for a really big test? My name is Timmy and I'm going to tell you all about this huge exam called the Self-Study English Test that a bunch of adults had to take in April 2023. It was super important for their college learning!So first off, what even is this test? Well, it's kind of like the tests I take at school, but wayyy harder. It checked how good grown-ups were at reading, writing, listening, and speaking inEnglish. And not just any English, but super fancy academic English that's used at universities. Pretty crazy, right?The reading part had all these massive passages about science, history, culture, and other brain-exploding topics. The grown-ups had to read through them and answer questions proving they understood all the difficult vocabulary and ideas.I'm talking words like "quintessential" and "juxtaposition" - makes my head spin just thinking about it!Then there was the writing section where they had to compose a long essay about a really complex prompt. Not just "What I Did Over Summer Vacation", but huge philosophical questions on ethics, technology, the environment, you name it. They had to structure their ideas logically, use elevated language, and incorporate quotes and examples. Phew, I'm getting tired just describing it!As if that wasn't enough, the listening comprehension tested their ability to understand lectures and conversations on academic subjects. They played audio clips of professors rambling on with tons of dates, names, theories and statistics. Afterwards, the grown-ups had to answer all these nitpicky questions about key details and implied meanings. No doodling or daydreaming allowed!But you know what really makes me shudder? The speaking part. Grown-ups had to actually talk out loud and be recorded. They got wildly abstract questions and had to ramble on coherently for minutes using fancy vocabulary, idioms, and transition phrases. Can you imagine?! One mistake and bam - points deducted. No wonder some of them looked terrified!I got to sit in on my dad's study sessions, and let me tell you, it was brutal. He had his face buriedin textbooks, drilling vocab, analyzing sample essays, and listening to practice audios over and over. My mom kept quizzing him on weird academic phrases like "make a case" and "draw a parallel." Even I was losing my marbles!The night before, he could barely sleep. He straightened his tie a million times and quitasking me to quiz him on root words from Latin. Mom made him a super nutritious brain-boosting lunch to keep his energy up. I've never seen him so nervous, not even that time I brought a frog home and let it loose!When he came back home afterwards, you could practically see the exhaustion oozing out of him. He gulped down a giant glass of water and just collapsed on the couch. He mumbled something about havingnightmares of giving a disastrous speech on quarks andmetaphysics. Yikes!A few weeks later, the results finally came out. Dad jumped sky-high when he ripped open that email - his face just lit up with the biggest grin ever! He passed and got a stellar score to boot. We all cheered and hugged him tighter than a bear. That evening, we threw an epic celebratory party with cake, streamers, the whole shebang. Dad vowed to never again take anything that intense for granted.Wow, I don't know how grown-ups manage those kinds of crazy difficult tests! I'll stick to vocab quizzes and book reports for now. If that English exam ever came my way, I'd be shaking like a leaf. Hats off to my dad and all the other adults who pushed through and conquered that monster. Now he gets to keep learning at college - after hewakes up from thiswell-deserved nap, that is!Well, that's all I got on the 2023 Self-Study English Test. Sure am glad I'm just a kid and don't have to worry about that anytime soon! Send my best to all you grown-ups still working hard in school. You're braver than I'll ever be! Now if you'll excuse me, I hear my math homework calling...篇4Hello, My Name is Lily and I'm 8 Years OldI have an older brother named Michael who is in college. He had to take this really big test called the Self-Study Exam for English (Level 2) last April because it's a requirement for his degree program. I got to see him studying a lot for it, so I'll tell you all about my experience watching him prepare!First of all, the exam was really important for Michael because English is not his best subject. He's really good at math and science, but reading and writing in English has always been kind of hard for him. Our parents don't speak English at home, so he had to learn it all at school.The exam had four sections - listening, reading, writing, and translation. Michael said the listening part was the easiest for him because he could understand people talking pretty well. But reading the long passages was really difficult, especially when they used fancy vocabulary words he didn't know.For the writing section, he had to write an essay responding to a prompt. He practiced writing essays for weeks leading up to the exam. Our living room was covered in his essay drafts with my mom's red pen markings all over them! I helped him practice a little bit by reading some of his essays out loud. I told him they were good but a bit too long and rambly.The translation section seemed like the hardest part to me. Michael had to translate passages back and forth between English and Chinese. He spent so many hours poring over his translation dictionaries and making flashcards with difficult vocabulary words. Sometimes he would test me by showing me a flashcard and having me try to define or translate the word. I didn't know most of them!As the exam day got closer, Michael seemed more and more stressed out. He literally had stacks of exam prep books covering our kitchen table. I remember he would make me quiz him on things while he wolfed down his breakfast in the morning before rushing out the door.On the morning of the big exam day, my parents made him a special big breakfast with all his favorite foods to wish him luck. Michael looked exhausted already and the exam didn't even start until afternoon! After we saw him off at the exam site, my parents and I went to the park to walk around and get our minds off worrying about how he was doing.When Michael finally got home after the 3-hour exam, he was one tired puppy! He flopped down on the couch and didn't move for like an hour. I was really curious about how it went, so I kept pestering him with questions. He said it was okay but therewere some reading passages that were just impossible for him to understand fully.We all had to wait a few weeks for Michael's exam results to come out. When they finally did, we were so relieved to see that he passed! I could tell he felt proud of himself for getting through such a hard test, even though his score wasn't amazing. My parents took us all out for a celebratory dinner at Michael's favorite restaurant.Overall, watching my brother study for the English Level 2 exam made me realize how hard it is to truly master another language, especially for important academic tests. I have a new appreciation for how much time and effort students like Michael have to put in to achieve their goals. I'll be sure to listen more carefully in my English classes at school from now on!篇5My School DaysHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm a 3rd grader at Sunnyville Elementary School. School is so much fun and I learn lots of cool stuff every day. Let me tell you all about it!We start off the day by lining up outside before the bell rings. My best friends Tommy and Susie are usually right behind me. We like to chat and joke around while we wait. Once the bell rings, we all go inside and sit at our desks. Our teacher Mrs. Anderson is really nice. She has pretty red hair and always wears a friendly smile.The first subject we have is reading. We take turns reading stories and poems out loud from our reading books. I like the funny stories the best because they make me laugh. After we read, Mrs. Anderson asks us questions about what we read to make sure we understood. If we get stuck, she helps explain things.Next up is math time! I'm not gonna lie, math is pretty hard for me sometimes. We learn about addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Numbers can get really confusing when you have to borrow and carry and all that. But Mrs. Anderson is a great teacher and makes it as easy as possible. We play games and use counting blocks to help us learn.After math, we get to go outside for recess! Recess is my favorite part of the day. I love running around on the playground with my friends. We play tag, kickball, jump rope, you name it. Sometimes I just lay in the grass and watch the clouds float by.That's really relaxing. When the recess bell rings, we have to line up again. I'm always a sweaty mess!Lunch time is rad. I get my tray of food from the cafeteria ladies and then head to my usual table. Tommy, Susie, and my other buddies Jamie and Michael are always there saving me a seat. We laugh, tell jokes, and talk about kid stuff while we eat. The pizza is my favorite cafeteria food. Yum!In the afternoon, we have science, social studies, art, and music. Science is cool because we get to do experiments and learn about nature. In social studies, we learn about history, geography, and different cultures around the world. Art class lets me be creative and get messy with paints and clay. Music is great too - we sing songs and learn about notes and rhythms.At the end of the day, it's time to pack up our backpacks and get ready to go home. Waiting for my mom to pick me up is the worst part. I'm always so antsy to get out of there! Once she arrives, I give her a big hug and we go home. She asks me about my day on the drive and I tell her everything.After I get home, I have a snack and take a little break to just veg out for a bit. Then it's homework time unfortunately. I have to read, write sentences, do math problems, and maybe a projector two. Once my homework is finished, I can finally go out and play until dinner!School days are awesome but also tiring. I pack so much learning and fun into just one day. I'm making amazing memories and great friends. In a few years, I'll be off to middle school and then high school after that. Who knows what the future will hold! But for now, I'm just enjoying being a kid and a third grade student. Life is good!篇6My English Exam Adventure!Hi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I just took the big English exam for my self-taught higher education program. It was a really tough test, but I tried my best! Let me tell you all about my exciting exam day.It was a sunny Saturday morning when my mom woke me up bright and early. "Time to get ready for your English exam!" she said cheerfully. I stretched my arms and yawned. Even though I was a little nervous, I had been studying really hard for weeks.After getting dressed, I had a yummy breakfast of pancakes and orange juice to give me energy for the big test. Then mombraided my hair and I put on my lucky sneakers. "You've got this, Lily!" dad said, giving me a high five. I smiled, feeling proud of all my hard work.The test was at the big high school near our house. When we arrived, there were lots of other kids my age arriving too. Some looked nervous, but others seemed confident. I just focused on taking deep breaths like my teacher taught me.Finally, it was time to go inside. The exam room was huge with rows and rows of desks. A nice lady showed me where to sit and I carefully took out my pencils and eraser. I could do this!The first part of the exam was listening comprehension. We had to listen to recordings and answer questions about what we heard. There were conversations between people as well as speeches and news reports. I listened very carefully and tried to write down all the key details.Next up was the reading section. We had passages about all kinds of topics - science, history, culture, literature. The questions were pretty tricky, asking us to make inferences and analyze the writers' perspectives. I re-read the passages slowly and tried my best to find the evidence to support my answers.After a short break to have a snack and some water, it was time for the writing section - the part I struggled with most in my practice tests. We had to write an essay arguing for or against an opinion. The prompt was "Schools should require all students to learn a second language from kindergarten."I thought about it carefully, making a little outline first. I decided to argue in favor of learning languages early. In my introduction, I talked about the cognitive benefits of being bilingual at a young age. For my body paragraphs, I discussed how it helps cultural understanding, improves career opportunities, and provides an excellent foundation for learning even more languages later on. I tried to include lots of examples and details from my own experience learning English.For the very last part, we had to speak with an examiner one-on-one and have a conversation. The examiner asked me questions like "What are your favorite subjects in school?" and "How do you like to spend your free time?" I just imagined I was talking to one of my friends and tried to give clear, detailed responses. Phew, I was finally done!As I walked out of the exam room, I felt both relieved and proud of myself for giving it my all. All that studying haddefinitely paid off. Now all I can do is wait patiently for my results. Wish me luck!Even though the test was really challenging, I'm so glad I got this incredible opportunity. Learning English has opened up a whole new world for me - I can read amazing books, watch interesting movies, and hopefully one day travel the world. An experience like this exam will help prepare me for future challenges too. If I can tackle this huge test at just 10 years old, I know I can accomplish anything I set my mind to!So that's the story of my big English exam day. It was difficult but rewarding. I felt like a tiny fish in a big pond, but by believing in myself I was able to swim, swim, swim! Now I'm headed home to celebrate with my favorite dinner - pizza! Thanks for reading, friends!。

You have to change schools and get used to your new home. But you can always go back to that city to visit. When you move to another country, things are different. However, difficult as it may be, the experience can be rewarding.My dad, a Brazilian, is really funny and can make friends quickly. My mom, a Swiss, is usually quiet and a bit shy. She likes to be organized，But my dad never makes plans. She enjoys stayinghome, but my dad always wants to go out. Swiss and Brazilian一what a mix!After my parents got married, they moved to Switzerland. There they had my brother and me. When I was two, we moved to Brazil. During my childhood we visited Switzerland every year.Many people ask me where I prefer to live: Brazil or Switzerland. It's really hard to answer because I love both countries. Brazil is a big country with many states and people. There are multiple dialects and many types of foods. People here have beautiful smiles and are always happy, even if they are poor. In the south the climate is cool, but in the north It's hot and humid.Switzerland, on the other hand, is small but beautiful and clean. There are four languages in that tiny country. People there are very different from Brazilians: they are wealthy, independent, and organized. The food is delicious, and of course, the famous Swiss chocolate is great, and the climate is dry and cool.I love both countries. In Switzerland, it's pleasant, calm, and peaceful everywhere. I enjoyed my stay there very much. But now I am happy here in Brazil. I feel excited and at home.11.

Booking Online and Saving the EnvironmentWhen you are looking to book a holiday, it is unlikely that you will think about how green your booking decision is, but it is something that you shouldthink about. By“green”we mean the impact on the environment.When looking to book a holiday, you will probably find that you are faced with two main decisions. The first is to go into a travel agency, pick up brochures(宣传册),read through them and go back with just one and book with the travel directly or over the phone. The second is to go onto the Internet.The Internet holds many advantages over the travel agencies. The main one is convenience. You can go online to look at holidays at any time of the day. The travel agents, however, are usually very busy at times when people can actually go, i.e. lunch hours or at the weekend. You could use the telephone, but you wouldn 't be able to see the pictures or the details of the holidays, so you would probably be sent a brochure anyway.There are websites on the Internet that make shopping for holiday deals much easier.These websites are known as price comparison websites. They search through lots of different tour operators, and the results are displayed on one page, from which you can choose.Compared with the travel agencies, booking online is greener. The piles of brochures are definitely not green, and the amount of unnecessary paper used can't be good for the environment. In the days of the Internet, there is really no need for such a large amount of paper to be wasted. So booking online will not only save you time and effort, it will do a lttle bit towards saving the environment, too!1.When planning holidays, few people will think about being greenA. TrueB. FalseC.

But scientists say the farms of the future could be built in tall buildings in some large cities.It may be difficult to believe, but in fact, the technology for growing crops indoors already exists. Farming in the city is already happening. Some vegetables are already grown in greenhouses. Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse.Experts say indoor farming solves many problems. First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings--called vertical farming （垂直农业）can solve the problem. Also, fruits and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and bad weather.Though vertical farms don't exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in such farms. The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops. Gases from crop waste would be used to heat the building. Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy.But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy. They say it can be difficult to control climate conditions indoors. Besides, plants differ in their weather and lighting needs. For example, some plants like warm, sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperatures.That's not to say these difficulties won't be overcome--but it will take time. Most experts suggest it may take about 5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms could be created.1. The word "farm" may make you think of the countryside.（）A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2.
