Do you think “we all have a responsibility to be safe”?There is no denying t hat that safety plays an important part in our daily life. Recently our school has carried out a program aiming at increasing our safety awareness. I consider this as indeed a good practice, which will remind us that safety should always come first in our daily life, whether when we stay at school or outside it. For example, when we are doing sports, we should attach great importance to safety and avoid being hurt. Besides, we should follow the traffic rules when we are going to school or when we are on our way back home. I firmly believe that we should develop a good sense of safety and do everything safely. What What measures measures measures have have have been been been taken taken taken to to to prevent prevent prevent driving driving driving infractions infractions like drunk driving and speeding in China? Driving infractions cases have been increasing and have caused numerous deaths. A more severe punishment should be given to those who drive after they have drunk, especially to those who are drunk and have caused serious injuries or deaths while driving.In order to crack downdriving infractions, the government should introduce a more severe law. Besides, more measures should be taken to cultivate the drivers’ awareness of traffic laws and respect others’ lives as well as their own when they are driving on the road, which I think should be the key to decrease drunken driving cases. Can Can you you you tell tell tell us us us how how how to to to escape escape escape a a a fire, fire, fire, esp. esp. esp. when when when you you you are are are in in in a a high-rise building? As we know, no one knows for sure when a fire will happen, so it is extremely necessary to make preparations before a fire starts. To beginwith, checking the fire escape in advance and make sure that you can find it when lights have failed.What’s more, taking care not to be overcome by smoke, which containing monoxide gas, can kill you quickly. At last, cover your mouth with a wet towel or a wet cloth, and avoid getting into the smoke. In short, if you make preparations before and take precautions during the fire, chances are that you will survive in case of a fire if it really breaks out some day. What are the things you have to defend yourself so that you can have a peaceful and wonderful life? The path to dreams may not be smooth and wide, even some sacrifices are needed, but we should defend our dreams to the end, many famous and successful had to fail over and over again to achieve what they hoped to in life.Michael Jordan was once cut from his high school basketball team. He later said,"I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot … and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. That is why I succeed. All in all, we must defend our dreams all the time, only in this way can we have greater chances to make success. Do you t hink “stop phubbing” is a must? How could we do in person to carry it out smoothly? Addiction to the smartphones does disturb our life. From the young people to the elderly and kids, they fix their eyes on the screen of their smartphones, leading to some psychological problems. They become mad and anxious when they leave behind their cellphones.In my opinion, we need to spend more time reading books or chapping with friends face to face and try to be open to new ways of seeing the world, only in this way can we reap the benefits of the real life. When going to the supermarket to buy food, do you usually read thefood labels to see the expiry date? Why or why not? Part of being a smart shopper is checking the expiration date on food packages the date, because the expiration date tells us how long the product is likely to remain at its absolute best quality when unopened, however, it is not a safety date sometimes. For example, milk may sour around the expiration date or a few days afterwards, depending on how cold your refrigerator is. Can you give some traffic safety tips for pedestrians? To begin with, pedestrians need to stop and look for traffic in all directions before crossing the street, and look to the left, right, and left again—even on a one-way stree t. What’s more, Use paths and sidewalks whenever available. If you must walk on or near a road, remember to walk facing oncoming traffic, so that both you and the driver can see each other. The last but not least, don't rely only on traffic signs and signals. Assuming that a signal will stop traffic puts you at risk. You must look for traffic even if you are in a crosswalk and you are crossing with the light or with the walk signal. Why is GM food forbidden in the market in some countries? Genetically modified food means transfer the genes of some creatures into other species by using modern molecular biological technology.The advantage of genetically modified food is giving our life more convenient, however, some European countries such as Switzerland, Aus tria don’t think so, they believe that genetically modified foods affect human health. Their government's attitude is genetically modified food are insecurity, and need for science to prove their safety. Some social groups and organizations called for scientists to confirm the safety of genetically modified foods before the suspension of genetically modified crops. Can you list the safety problems you’re concerned with and tell us what worries you most? Nowadays, the human beings are stepping into the information society. The information industry develops very rapidly. As a result, information security becomes an impending important issue. What’s more, there are much more reports about campus safety than before recently, such as killing, injury or maltreat and so on. Therefore, campus security has aroused many concerns. The thing worries me most is food safety issues. Food fraud has exerted great influences because it directly threatens health of consumers. In my opinion, our government should pay more attention to these problems. Have Have you you you ever ever ever paid paid paid on on on line line line through through through your your your smart smart smart phone phone phone while while logging onto a free WIFI in public places? Do you feel it safe to do that? Why or why not? I never paid on line by using a free WiFi in public places.As we know, the WiFi is really continent for us to either search on line or play the online games. However, using public WiFi isn't unlike having a conversation in a public place: Others can overhear you. If you don't take precautions, information your devices send over a public WiFi network goes out in clear text — and anyone else on the network could easily take a look at what you're doing with just a few simple software tools. Someone spying could easily pick up your passwords or other private information. If you use the same password on multiple sites, that could be a big problem. If If you you you have have have to to to go go go to to to an an an overcrowded overcrowded overcrowded place, place, place, how how how to to to take take precautions against stampede? At least 36 were killed and 47 injured in a stampede during the New Year’s Eve celebration in shanghai last year. La rge gatherings are usually peaceful but sometimes turn unruly with deadly consequences. Here are my suggestions to take precautions against stampede, on the one hand, we must behave in a civilized manner, when many people are not crowded, not booing, not create tension or panic. On the other hand, if into the crowded, you must first stand firm, the body will not inclined to lose focus, even if the shoes have been trampled out, don't stoop to pick up the shoes or shoe laces. Only in this way can we keep away from stampede. What should you do to avoid being assaulted when walking in the dark alone On the one hand, be fully aware of your surroundings. Keep an eye on what is going on around you at all times so that you can better detect suspicious activity and protect yourself and your belongings. On the other hand, determine whether you are in danger. If you are walking down the street and suspect that you are being followed, don't be afraid to look behind you and find out for sure. If possible, look the person directly in the face; this lets them defend that you are fully aware of what's going on and that you can and will yourself in the event of an attack. Smart phone plays an important role in our life. More and more people become addicted to phubbing in recent years. What risks could be brought to you if you are a phubber? Nowadays, we can see many people are watching their mobile phones in subway, restaurants, elevators, roads and so on. However, phubbing disturbs not only our study but also our life. On the one hand, phubbers waste lots of time playing cell phone games and sending messages, particularly in class. Other people also complain they are disturbed when phones ring in classrooms. On the other hand, it can lead to health problems. For instance, using a mobile phone on the sofa can cause back and neck pain. In a word, only when we use the phone reasonably, can we realize the happiness of life. How to avoid being infected with infectious diseases like flu/AIDS/hepatitis (肝炎) virus? By making a few simple behavioral changes, you can easily prevent the spread of many infectious diseases. First of all, don't share personal items. Toothbrushes, towels, handkerchiefs, and nail clippers can all be sources of infectious agents. Besides, get vaccinated. Your immune system is designed to have a “memory” of previous infections. When your body encounters a microbe that has previously caused an infection, it enhances its production of white blood cells and antibodies to prevent infection a second time. Finally,Infectious diseases can easily be picked up while traveling,make sure to use a safe water source and eat food that have been cooked. What kind of people are the potential victims that criminals prey on to steal or rob in public places? Tourists are oftentimes targeted by pickpockets because they tend to carry lots of cash on them and are usually unfamiliar with their surroundings,If you are traveling in an unknown city, try to get directions to your destination prior to leaving the hotel you are staying at. Besides,People who are visibly distracted by their cell phones become easy targets for pickpockets and other c riminals, just because they can’t detect suspicious activity. The best chance of defending yourself in the event of an attack is to identify the attacker as soon as possible. 。

Meanwhile, in the lower and middle reaches of the Yellow River, the (22) of the first snow falls during the Minor Snow solar term. The snow is light and frozen at night, but melts quickly during the day.In China, starting in Minor Snow, the wind blows from the northeast a lot. Because it’s still not (23) cold, many people do not wear hats or scarves yet. In fact, according to an old Chinese saying, “the head is the place where all passages of the body gather”. It’s sensible to keep one’s head warm.During Minor Snow, (24) begins to work, which means the air indoors is dry and most people might find their nose and mouth feela bit dry. According to practices in traditional Chinese medicine, this(25) of “inner heat”in one’s body can cause problems, including oral ulcers and breakouts. The solution is to drink more hot soup, such as cabbage and bean curd soup, spinach and bean curd soup, and mutton and radish soup.SummaryListen to the passage, and complete the table using one or two words or one number for each blank according to what you hear.

Choose the correct word in one of the following three ways: according to the context, by using the correct form of the given word, or by using the given letter(s) of the word. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.He had just (46) gra( ) from Harvard University and was living in Manhattan. He loved the city and was beginning to feel at home on its streets. World War II was raging in Europe, and like all other good citizens, he followed the headlines daily and did his part for the boys overseas.Hugging his jacket close, he stood shivering at the corner, waiting for the light to change and wondering (47) ( ) his enlisted friends might be staying on that cold winter night. He hoped they were safe. He shivered, only partially from the cold, and lookedaround him at the bright lights of Times Square. He was never (48) ( ) of this glittering scenery.His eye was caught by two men who were dressed in the (49) uni( ) of the Royal Air Force from England. They must be on leave, he thought. The men stopped him, glanced quickly at their watches, and then nodded and grinned at him. The taller of the two asked him, in the clipped accent of the British, if this was Time Square. He suppressed a smile at such a touristy question and said that it was.The light changed, and the two RAF pilots fell into step with the Harvard graduate as he crossed the street. The three men fell into conversation together as they wandered along the (50)( ) (shine) streets. The Brits were thrilled to be in Times Square after all they had suffered in the war. They didn’t go into detail about their wartime experiences, and he didn’t press them. He just enjoyed their pleasure in the scene, which was marred only by the frequent checking of their watches. Finally, he asked if they had someplace to be, but they said they were free for the evening. He promptly invited them to have dinner with him at the Harvard Club, and the RAF pilots gladly (51) ac( ) .The three men repaired immediately to the Harvard Club, where they dined leisurely and chatted late into the evening. The RAF pilotswere good company and told many stories, although they glossed over their experiences in the war. They continued to check their watches frequently throughout the night, but he decided it was just a nervous habit they had picked (52)( ) somewhere; possibly in the air force.As midnight approached, the two RAF pilots excused themselves and rose from the table. They thanked the Harvard man for a (53) ( ) (memory) evening and started for the door. Then the tall pilot turned back and told their host that they had always wanted to visit Times Square, but never had the opportunity. It was strange, the pilot added, that they had to wait until after they were dead, killed in action when their planes were shot down the night before over Berlin, to fulfill this dream.The Harvard man (54)( ) (stiffen), his eyes widening incredulously and his mouth falling open in shock. He gasped but couldn’t speak. The phantom RAF pilot smiled sardonically at him, nodded, and joined his friend in the doorway. Then the pilots vanished before the (55) as( ) man’s eyes, just at the stroke of twelve midnight.Part IV Reading Comprehension (30 marks)There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using informationfrom the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section A (10 marks)Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Over 1,000 years ago, Chinese poet Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty (618—907) wrote “I know my brothers would, with dogwood spray in hand, climb up mountain and miss me so far away”—to express his nostalgia during Chongyang Festival.(56)( )The Chongyang Festival, or the Double Ninth Festival, which takes place on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month on the Chinese calendar.According to I Ching, or Book of Changes, “nine”is a positive—or yang—number. Therefore, the ninth day of the ninth month means“double nine”or“double yang”. (57)( )Through records in all kinds of notes and historical literature, scholars have dated Chongyang’s history back to the Warring States Period (475—221 BC). It became widely celebrated after the Wei and Jin dynasties (220—420) and was officially declared to be a festival during the Tang Dynasty.(58)( )So, it was not uncommon for superstitious folk to climb mountains, or find higher ground to avoid some perceived oncoming doom.Today, customs during this festival include climbing mountains, enjoying chrysanthemum flowers, drinking chrysanthemum wine, eating crabs, wearing dogwood to drive away ghosts and composing poems.(59)( )Moreover, standing on high ground and looking far into the distance on a balmy autumn day can help alleviate some of the seasonal depression and anxiety. If you can’t find a mountain to hike up, there is another solution: Ascending buildings or towers will, apparently, also work. For example, Wang Bo, a man of letters in the Tang Dynasty once ascended a tower on the Chongyang Festival and wrote his representative work, A Tribute to King Teng’s Tower.Mountains aside, chrysanthemum symbolizes longevity, as well as integrity and chrysanthemum wine is seen as an auspicious drink to enjoy during the festival. It is believed that the custom originates from poet Tao Yuanming who lived during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317—420) and was famous for his hermit’s lifestyle and his special love for the flower.Special food is usually an indispensable part of festivals, just like mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival and zongzi for the DragonBoat Festival. So, for Chongyang, crabs are the snack du jour because that’s when their meat is at its best. Chongyang cake, made of rice, is also a traditional festival food popular in the eastern part of China.(60)( )Since the pronunciation of nine in Chinese is the same as “eternal”or “forever”, the festival is regarded as an especially auspiciou s day to wish longevity and health upon our senior citizens and people usually visit, or send greetings to, the senior members of their family.As a result, in 1989, the Chinese government assigned yet another moniker to the festival to promote respect for the elderly: Senior Citizens’Festival.Questions 56—60Choose from the sentences A—G the one which best fits each gap of 56—60. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.A. In ancient China, the Chongyang Festival was sometimes seen as a bad omen, as it fell in the late autumn when the weather turns cold and plants wither.B. The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance, and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine.C. Today, it is still celebrated by people from China, the Republic of Korea and Japan.D. Today, thankfully, the Chongyang Festival has a more positive meaning.E. The bright clear weather and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival’s happy atmosphere.F. Since“chong”means double in Chinese, it is also called “Chongyang”in China.G. Among all these customs, mountain climbing is the most important one since it is an activity that is believed to help one avoid misfortune.Section B (10 marks)Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.This is the incredible story of a mother’s journey to keep her family alive. Echo is a wise elephant matriarch in her sixties. She lives in Southern Kenya alongside fifteen hundred other wild African elephants. As the oldest female and head of the family, Echo must guide four generations of her relatives through the cruel famine that follows the failure of the latest rains, protect them from attack by lions, and keep them away from growing conflict with angry Maasai farmers. Observing her as they have for the past four decades are American scientist Cynthia Moss and her team from the AmboseliTrust for Elephants. Echo leads her family out of harm’s way, steers clear of battling tuskers, prevents clashes with neighbours over water, crops or grazing, and avoids natural calamities like deadly mud traps. As the months pass, she must prevent her family splitting under pressure, and finally bring new babies into the world with the best chance of survival.In Kenya’s Amboseli National Park Echo keeps watch over her large family. The African Elephant Conservation Trust has followed her life for more than 30 years. Echo is sensitive and caring when with her family, but becomes fearless when threatened by animal or man. Her leadership qualities are admirable as she guides her family through danger.When Echo was first found and studied by the Conservation Trust, she was 23 years old. Having just survived the deaths of the more senior members of the herd, she had adopted a motherly role for seven of her family. Once, when her 10 -day -old calf was kidnapped by other elephants, Echo encouraged three adult females from her own herd to help her to track and attack the enemy and successfully rescued the baby. Poachers, hunters, famine and drought have all taken their toll on Echo’s extended family, yet thanks to her successful leadership through many difficulties, the herd has now grown to 27 members of different ages.Meanwhile, Echo has become world famous, thanks to three films about her life and behaviour, by award-winning film-maker Martyn Colbeck. His work has changed public perception of elephants by demonstrating the high level of intelligence and social behaviour of these complex creatures. The respect and interest generated by the films have helped to save this species, which at one time was threatened with extinction. Recent research by the Conservation Trust has also revealed valuable information about birth and death rates and the fact that elephants communicate at a very sophisticated level. They celebrate birth, have lifelong friendships and even mourn the death of family members.The population in Kenya fell from 130,000 in 1973 to less than 20,000 in 1989, a loss of 85%. The reason for this disastrous decline was mainly because elephants were hunted intensively for their ivory tusks. Destruction of habitat made the problem worse.It isn’t all bad news for African elephants, however. In the Amboseli National Park they have been increasing steadily in numbers. In this protected area of 150 square miles in southern Kenya, they can live relatively undisturbed in a natural habitat—because the presence of researchers and tourists has kept poachers away and, equally importantly, the local Masai people have supported the project. Unlike other places in Africa, where huntingand poaching still take place, here the elephant family structure is being preserved and the population spans the whole range, from newborn calves to adults as old as Echo.Questions 61 to 65Answer the following questions with the information given in the passage.61. How old is the elephant Echo?62. What has the recent drought brought to Echo’s family?63. What has guided Echo’s family through one danger after another?64. What do Martyn Colbeck’s three films show about elephant?65. What caused the disastrous decline in Kenya’s elephant population between 1970s and 1980s?Section C (10 marks)Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage.In English, the word about colour can reflect different emotions. Blue and grey mean bad mood and red means vitality. You might think that whether you choose a blue shirt or a yellow one to wear to work or college makes no difference to your day and those around you. However, an increasing number of experts argue that the colours we choose affect our mood, our career prospects and even our health.The power of colour has been used for centuries and we should be making the most of it in our lives today. Colour affects us to a greater degree than most of us realise. It is used increasingly by psychologists and therapists for influencing mood and state of mind, and for various types of treatments when we are ill. Some people even believe that the blind can benefit from the“vibrations”that colour gives off.A new research found that people are easily affected by the products that are in colours. For example, when students see the red colour on the blackboard, they don’t feel eased. The candies which are packaged in green don’t often sell well and the food aren’t packaged in blue. Colour has something to do with people’s mood, so the wise manufacturers make use of this rule to catch people’s attention. They choose the colour that pleases customers and make more profits. Companies use colour to great effect to encourage us to buy their products. For example, purple is seen as creative and mixes well with red, to show that a company has ideas and the power to make them happen. Orange and blue are also recommended colours for companies to use, because orange is thecolour of communication and blue suggests safety and security. So this could be a particularly good combination. Companies have found that certain colours“speak”to specific age groups. They often use red to attract younger people to their products, for example, as it is vibrant and more youthful than colours like gold and navy, which older customers seem to prefer.Wearing different colours can affect how you feel and how others react to you, so it is important to consider this when deciding what to wear in the morning. If you want people to take you seriously, then wearing navy blue or black is good. Blue would also be helpful for an interview or oral examination because it relaxes you and makes you feel calm. Red gets you noticed by everyone and makes you, the wearer, feel energetic, but be careful, as it can raise your pulse rate and not everyone wants this effect.Turquoise is a “user-friendly”, approachable colour, which people are attracted to; they feel friendly towards you when you wear it. It is also thought that turquoise can treat stress and headaches. Green is a good colour if you are not feeling well, and possibly this is why we sometimes give flowers and plants to friends and relatives in hospital.So think carefully before you leave the house or visit a friend with a gift. The colours you choose in both cases are a powerful tool. Are you making the right impression—on yourself and on others.Questions 66 to 70Complete the summary below with information from the passage, using no more than three words for each blank.It is thought that colour affects our (66)( ), our career and how we feel. Some people believe that it can even help cure illnesses. Companies use colour to appeal to different kinds of customers and to make us (67)( ) . Wearing certain colours can affect our performance in interviews or (68)( ), and it can affect how others behave towards us. Turquoise can treat (69)( ) . We sometimes give (70)( ) to friends and relatives in hospital, as the colour can have a positive on whoever receives the gift.Part V Translation (15 marks)Section A (5 marks)Translate the following paragraph into Chinese. Write the answers on the answer sheet.71. It is a good thing that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to thebroom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary.Section B (10 marks)Translate the following paragraph into English.

大学英语口语考试试题-10个口语话题(期末)第一篇:大学英语口语考试试题-10个口语话题(期末)Topics for Oral test 1.Which great leader do you admire most? What qualities did/does he/she have? bill gates 2.Which do you cherish more, your friendship with a good friend or your romantic relationship? obviously, friend is easy to make, but lover is kind of hard to seek for.Since relationship between friends might be not that close compared to romantic relationship, I will probably take it serious and cherish this sweet relationship.Also, I believe that my friends will support me and our relationship won’t be tense and freezing because of this.As the Chinese saying goes, once you got a boyfriend or a girlfriend, you may leave your friends out of your mind.I partly agree this, and when I fall in love, especially at the very beginning, I think I will cherish it more than friendship.3.What factors would you consider first if you were to find a job(even a part-time job)? I will first consider whether this company and the offered position is high potential.I think high potential is a quality that is vital for the company’s future development and its personnel’s self improvement.Every one need a room to promote and realize one’s self-value.Another factor I concern is—its location.I’d like to work and live in big cities because big cities offer so many opportunities and a higher salary while small cities can’t.4.Whom do you usually turn to when in trouble, vour parents or your friends? They know me better than anyone else and their vision is wide, their thoughts are mature.They can give me better suggestion.Parents are people who love us most and will never be unwilling or too busy to listen to me and give me a hand.However, friends may be busy with study or can’t figure out my situation clearly.What’s more,always asking them for help perhaps will make them become inpatient.5.Nature or Nurture: which plays a more important role in a person’s success, biological factors or environmental factors? I do think the environmental factors are vital for one’s success.There are so many things we have to learn on this earth.You probably have some nature talent but if the environment doesn’t provide you the platform to show and make the most use of it, it means nothing.Environment can have a very strong impact on a person through out the life.Live with A level students, we will be influenced to learn better.1 percent talent and 99 percent hard working.We can be easily affected 6.How do you get along with your roommates? What do you do when conflicts with your roommates come in the way?(interpersonal relationships)bring them homemade food.Having meals and going shopping together clean the dorm regularly.I’ll firstly let myself calm down and figure out whether it’s my fault or her fault, if it’s my fault, I will break the freezing atmosphere and say sorry.If it’s her fault, I will 7.What are your hobbies? What do you think of some students who spend far too more time on their hobbies than on their schoolwork? 8.A lot of young people like fast food, esp.things like hamburgers and French fries.What is you attitude to the phenomenon? I really don’t agree to take fast food so frequently, because there are way too much oil, meat and fewer vegetables in it.I’m worried about its nutrition.It’s an unbalance way of eating.I love McDonald’s and KFC as well but I understand that they are fairly unhealthy.Sometimes I do go to eat there if I have a very strong feeling of having it.But in most time, I will persuade myself just stop here, stop at thinking of it.9.Would you like to further your education abroad, if it were possible? Give your reasons.(studyingat home or abroad)I really want to study abroad in the future, in fact, I’m preparing for TOFEL now.the first reason is th at the education in western country have a pretty high quality and the facility and resources in university is abundant.Second reason is that I would like to take this chance to have a close look at western country and culture, and broaden my horizon.Another reason is that I can learn to be independent and do all stuffs by myself.10.Describe your life at college with your partners.What aspects about college life do you like the best?

You should write at least 150 words, and base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:1)随着人们生活水平的提高,一些人认为节俭和朴素的生活方式已经过时了;2)但是很多人反对这种说法;3)你的看法是什么,为什么?Is Thrift Still A Good Virtue? With the improvement of the living standards, many people are no longer interested in the simple life style and some of them even feel ashamed to be thrifty.What they pursue is the latest fashion.In their eyes, thrift is already out of style.However, still other people insist that thrift is a good virtue.They say that the unprecedented power ofproduction doesn’t mean that we are entitled to a life of extravagance, because our natural resources are limited and some of them even are on the decline.Moreover, they hold that waste may lead to degradation of social atmosphere and environmental pollution as well.As to me, I prefer the latter opinion.I believe “Waste not, want not.” The truth of this saying is not to give up comfort but to enhance efficiency.In fact, economic growth depends enormously on saving.Besides, there are still millions of Chinese living under poverty line.We can never afford reckless waste.Therefore, it is no doubt that thrift is still a good virtue that we should not give up.2.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Certificate Craze on Campus.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.1)近几年大学校园内出现“考证热” 2)产生这一现象的原因 3)你的看法Certificate Craze on CampusIn recent years, getting a certificate has become a new craze among college students.Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing;quite possibly, you may get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind.Why does this craze appear?There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon.First, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates.With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market.How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe.Second, diploma and certificates are still important standards by which many employers measure a person’s ability.In order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam toanother.From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability.Being crazy in getting certifications blindly is nothing but wasting time.T o conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.3.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic On Water Shortage.You should write at least 150 words according to the outline given below in Chinese: 1)水资源短缺已成为严重问题 2)造成水资源短缺的原因 3)提出解决方案On Water Shortage No one can have failed to notice the fact that water shortage is a grave problem with which the whole world is confronted.Actually, it has become so widespread that it has severely affected people’s daily life and hindered the development of the global economy.A number of factors could account for the problem, but the following might be the critical ones.First, with the development of agriculture and industry, an increasing amount of water is needed.Secondly, the ever-increasing population is another leading cause of water shortage.Besides, the global tendency of warming up also contributes to the problem.What’s worse, pollution and waste of fresh water aggravate the situation.In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse.First, it is essential that laws and regulations be worked out and enforced to protect water resources.Secondly, people should enhance their awareness of saving water.With these measures taken, it is reasonable for us to expect a brighter future.4.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Internet Harmony.You should write at least 150 words according to the outline given below inChinese:1)随着社会和经济发展,网络成为了每个人必不可少的获取信息的工具2)但是,在网络上也出现了一些不和谐的因素,如垃圾信息,黄色网站,虚假新闻,网络炒作等。

Unfortunately, Russell believed them. They asked him where the video recorder was. Russell showed them, and said they had a stereo and CD player, too.
The two men carried these to the kitchen. Russell also told them that his mother kept her purse in a drawer in the kitchen,so they took that. Russell even gave them his pocket money—50 p.
