For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1I strongly believe that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to b etter understand. I hope I’ll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier— our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61. From the passage we know that________.A. the author complains about her parents ‘being too understandingB. the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC. people divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD. some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A. Because we are caring the others too much.B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C. Because we believe we are always right.D. Because the others have done something wrong.63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimaterelationships.B. Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C. Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D. Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64. If we are to understand our partners, we should ________firstly .A. have willingness to do soB. have love for themC. get into connection with themD. care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to________ .A. befriendB. understandC. loveD. care aboutPassage 2Finally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning…is exhaustive and time consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their “always wanted” gi fts back to the store to exchange for something they reallywanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you’ll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n)________.A. easy jobB. tough taskC. Must be jobD. arranged task67. It is quite ________ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A. usualB. normalC.abnormalD. unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that ________.A. people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB. people would cash out the gift immediatelyC. people are eager to get a gift from a friendD. people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A. Open the gift immediately in front of the giver.B. Wrap the gift carefully.C. Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D. Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping.70. The author’s attitude towards gift giving is________ .A. indifferentB. protestingC.objectiveD. supportivePassage 3They already guide blind and disabled people；now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆). The duti es of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Scotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said: “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don’t need to communicate ver bally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.71. As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for________.A. helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB. reminding the owner to take medicineC. communicating with the owner in a non verbal wayD. helping the owner recover from the illness72. Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A. The students who developed the idea.B. The owners of the dogs.C. The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A. They would like to stay with other people.B. They can maintain routine.C. They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D. They would like to talk in a different way.74. The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will________.A. respond to t he owners’ orderB. respond to a sound deviceC. act on the owners’ instructionsD. act on the trainers’ order75. Having a conversation with people with dementia will be________.A. difficultB. interestingC. confusingD. encouragingPassage 4It seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to＄2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24year olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally.Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan?A. Their business was given away free on the Internet.B. They gave CDs away free in shops.C. They played free concerts.D. They charged more for their CDs77. The Crimea hope to make money________ .A. through CD salesB. by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC. by selling merchandise on the InternetD. through sales of merchandise in shops78. The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because________ .A. people who attend their concerts need themB. they want to make extra moneyC. there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD. people who fail to attend their concerts need them79. What is true about sales of music over the last year?A. Overall, sales are up last year.B. Overall, sales are down last year.C. There is no change compared to previous sales.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.80. What effect has the Internet had on music piracy?A. It has made it easier to fight piracy.B. It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C. It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D. It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part Ⅱ Cloze (1×20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Many visitors to the United Kingdom go straight to London and never set foot outside the capital—which is a pity, for those that do are often surprised at the sheer variety of landscapes 41 within such a small geographical area. 42 you want to see stunning, unspoilt scenery you should 43 spend a few days in one of Britain’s largest areas of protected countryside, a national park. 44 in the second half of the 20th century after popular pressure for access 45 the country;s wilder places, there are now 15 of them throughout the British Isles.The biggest is the Cairngorms in northern Scotland, named 46 some of the country’s highest mountains and the best place for skiing.

Part I Reading Comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)Section A (每小题2分)Format ⅠDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.(40 marks)Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Have you ever wondered where the first doughnut(炸面圈) was made? Who thought up the idea of a fried cake with a hole in the center?No one knows for sure who made the first doughnut. Some people think that doughnuts probably began in the 1800s as Dutch “olykoeks” or “oily cakes.” In those days, a cook would not want to waste any scraps of food. Leftover pieces of bread dough(生面团) were put into hot oil and fried. Olykoeks were tasty on the outside, but soft and uncooked in the center.Some people say that the mother of a New Englandsea captain invented the first real doughnut. Her name was Elizabeth Gregory. She replaced the soft center with spices and nuts. But,Elizabeth’s son, Captain Gregory, did not like nuts. He punched out the center, and the consequence was the first hole in a doughnut.Others say the real story is that Captain Gregory had difficulty steering his ship while trying to eat doughnuts. He asked the ship’s cook to make his doughnuts with holes so he could hang them on the steering wheel! Others think that Captain Gregory saw holed cakes in Europe and brought the idea back toAmericawith him.During World War I, homesick American soldiers inEuropewere served doughnuts by the Salvation Army. These brave women volunteering for the job were called “Doughnut Girls.” They often worked in dangerous conditions near the soldiers, so the Doughnut Girls wore helmets and uniforms. The women made doughnut cutters out of a large can with a smaller can inside it to cut out the hole. They could set up a kettle of hot oil to fry the dough almost anywhere.In the 1920s, doughnut machines were invented. Doughnuts were produced faster and easier than ever before. Still, many people preferred to make their favorite doughnuts at home.1. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the popularity of doughnutsB. the history of doughnutsC. the inventors of doughnutsD. the types of doughnuts2. The first Dutch “olykoek” came into being probably because ______.A. people did not like to eat fried foodB. cooks did not like to waste leftover foodC. Dutchmen liked oil cakes very muchD. cooks liked the soft center of cakes3. What was used to replace the uncooked center to improve doughnuts?A. Scraps of food.B. Jelly filling.C. Spices and nuts.D. Leftover bread dough.4. In paragraph 3, the word “consequence” probably means ______.A. actionB. damageC. problemD. result5. What can be inferred about the Doughnut Girls during World War I?A. They worked aboard a ship.B. They worked near battlefields.C. They used untested machines.D. They used helmets to cook doughnuts.Passage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:It is a blow for the Ugly Bettys and Plain Janes — research shows that good looks lead to better pay. A study of 4,000 young men and women found that beauty boosted pay checks more than intelligence. Those judged to be the most attractive earned up to 10 percent more than their less attractive friends and colleagues. Applied to the average salary of ￡25,000 a year, the “plainness penalty (处罚)” would make a difference of ￡2,500 a year — or around ￡50 a week.It is unclear what is behind the phenomenon but it may be that beauty creates confidence. The self-confident may appear to be doing better than they are and will not hesitate about asking for a pay rise.Researcher Jason Fletcher, ofYaleUniversityin theU.S., rated the attractiveness of the 4,000 men and women. Just over half were judged average, while 7 percent were felt to be very attractive and 8 percent were judged unattractive or very unattractive. The volunteers also sat an IQ test and reported their salary. It became clear that pay scales were far from fair. For instance, a 14-point increase on the IQ score was associated with a 3 to 6 percent increase in wage. But being of above-average looks increased pay by 5 to 10 percent.For a plain person to be paid the same as a very attractive one, they would have to be 40 percent brighter, the journal Economics Letters reports.Dr Fletcher said: “The results do show that people’s looks have an impact on their wages and it can be very important.”6. What is the “plainness penalty”?A. To be paid less for being ordinarily-looking.B. To be laughed at for being ordinarily-looking.C. To be fired for being ordinarily-looking.D. To be questioned for being ordinarily-looking.7. What’s the average annual salary of a good-looking person?A. ￡2,500.B. ￡25,000.C. ￡22,500.D. ￡27,500.8. Good-looking people are paid more probably because ______.A. they look smarterB. they have higher degreesC. they are better at pleasing othersD. they are more confident9. How many people were rated as very attractive in Jason Fletcher’s study?A. About 280B. About 4,000C. About 2,000D. About 32010. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. IQ is less important than appearance.B. Confidence makes people prettier.C. Good looks earn an extra penny.D. How Plain Janes get a higher salary.Passage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Were you constantly bored as a child? Maybe that helped you to develop your ability to be creative.Boredom can be a good thing for children, according to Dr Teresa Belton, researcher at theUniversityofEast Anglia’sSchoolofEducationand Lifelo ng Learning. After interviewing authors, artists and scientists inBritain, she’s reached the conclusion that cultural expectations that children should be constantly active could block the development of their imagination.British actress and writer Meera Syal grew up in a small mining village with few distractions. The researcher said: “Lack of things to do urged her to talk to people she wouldn’t otherwise have engaged with and try activities she wouldn’t, under other circumstances, have experienced, such as talking to elderly neighbors and learning to bake cakes.”Belton added: “Boredom made her write. Meera Syal kept a diary from a young age, filling it with observations, short stories, poems.”The researcher didn’t ignore the old saying the devil finds work for idle hands, though. Belton pointed out that young people who don’t have the interior resources to deal with boredom creatively may end up smashing up bus shelters or taking cars out for a joyride.How about watching TV and videos on the computer? The researcher believes that nothing replaces standing and staring at things and observing your surroundings.It’s the sort of thing that stimulates the imagination, she said, while the screen “tends to short circuit that process and the development of cre ative capacity”.Dr Belton concluded: “For the sake of creativity, perhaps we need to slow down and stay offline from time to time.”11. Dr Teresa Belton did her research by ______.A. studying cultural differencesB. interviewing professionalsC. keeping a diaryD. observing the surroundings12. Which of the following best describes the village where Meera Syal grew up?A. Modern and open.B. Tiny and unexciting.C. Poor and underdeveloped.D. Remote and violent.13. The expression “the devil finds work for idle hands” probably means that people are more likely to ______.A. do what they should not do if they meet devilsB. achieve nothing if they work with devilsC. do more work if they didn’t work hard when they were youngD. get involved in trouble if they have nothing to do with their time14. What is Dr Belton’s advice for youngsters?A. Observe the world around them.B. Get information online from time to time.C. Remain constantly active.D. Read as many books as possible.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Deal with boredom wisely.B. Learn from a young age.C. Enjoy village life.D. Forget old sayings.Passage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:During her junior year of high school, Candice Backu s’s teacher handed her a sheet and instructed the 17-year-old to map out her future financial life. Backus pretended to buy a car, rent an apartment, and apply for a credit card. Then, she and her classmates played the “stock market game,” investing the hy pothetical(假设的) earnings from their hypothetical jobs in the market in the fateful fall of 2008. “Our pretend investments crashed,” Backus says, still horrified. “We felt what actual shareholders were feeling.”That pain of earning and losing money is a feeling that public schools increasingly want to teach. Forty states now offer some types of financial instruction at the elementary or high-school level, including lessons in balancing checkbooks(支票本) and buying stock in math andsocial-studies classes. The interest in personal-finance classes has risen since 2007 when bank failures became a regular occurrence.Rather than teach investment strategies, these courses offer a basic approach to handling money: Don’t spend what you don’t have. Put part of your mo nthly salary into a savings account, and invest in the stock market for the long-term rather than short-term gains. For Backus, this means dividing her earnings from her part-time job at a fast-food restaurant into separate envelopes for paying bills, spen ding, and saving. “Money is so hard to make but so easy to spend,” she says one weekday after school.After Backus finished her financial classes, she opened up a savings account at her local bank and started to think more about how she and her family woul d pay for college. “She just has a better understanding of money and how it affects the world,” says her mother, Darleen. All of this talk of money can make Backus worry, she says, but luckily, she feels prepared to face it.16. The purpose of the high sch ool class’s “stock market game” is to ______.A. introduce a new courseB. encourage personal savingsC. learn about investmentD. teach credit card hazards17. Student interest in taking classes on finance has increased because of ______.A. the state of the economyB. the need for employmentC. the rate of graduationD. the desire to purchase cars18. According to the passage, taking money management courses will help young people to ______.A. get accepted by collegesB. become very wealthyC. take more vacationsD. prevent from going into debt19. After Candice Backus completed the class about money, she ______.A. is debt freeB. manages the family incomeC. will graduate earlyD. feels more competent20. The author’s attitude toward financial classes i n public schools is ______.A. positiveB. criticalC. objectiveD. worriedFormat ⅡDirections: In the following passage, some sentences have been removed.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. Choose the correct answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage OneHow much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effect of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies haveshown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly change. They cannot sleep or eat well, and signs of fear and tension become obvious. The more crowded they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but also essential for human survival?51. This passage is mainly about ______.A) living space and behaviorB) population and living conditionsC) interesting experiments on ratsD) a natural law for human society52. What is the purpose of theexperiments described in the passage?A) To determine how much living space a rat needs.B) To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.C) To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.D) To find out the relationship between population and living conditions.53. How would rats behave when their living conditions become too crowded? A) They eat a lot and become friendly to others.B) They sleep little and act quite peacefully.C) They eat little but sleep soundly.D) They become nervous and tend to be war-like.54. The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions ______.A) are directly related with populationB) may cause an increase in violenceC) may lead to high birth rateD) may bring about pollution problems Passage TwoMany people hope that the whole world will one day speak a common language. Over the Years, people have made up new languages with this aim. At least six hundred languages have been developed in the search for a language which all human beings would be able to speak. The most famous one, Esperanto ( 世界语) , was the idea of Ludwig Zamenhof, a doctor in Warsaw. He published a book about his new language in 1887.To encourage people to learn the Language, he made it as simple as possible. Esperanto has never been accepted as an official world language, but it has been suggested as an auxiliary language. By 1950 it had been taught to one and a half million speakers, and it was spoken in six hundred schools. Today Esperanto isspoken by about eight million people, and more than one hundred newspapers and magazines in the language are published regularly throughout the world. Thousands of books have been written in Esperanto, including those translated from other languages.Today the need for a new auxiliary language like Esperanto seems less obvious. Throughout this century English has grown more and more important. It has become a second language for many millions of people. The fact that more are learning English shows that the use of English is still growing worldwide. No one would deny the usefulness of world language, but not many people think that Esperanto is likely to play such a role. 55. Over the years, people have made up new languages in the hope that ______. A) all people will be able to speak a common languageB) people will learn a foreign language betterC) people can understand each other betterD) people will be able to speak several languages56. Zamenhof made the language as simple as possible because ______.A) he wanted people to learn it quicklyB) he hoped more and more people would be willing to learn itC) he wanted everyone to speak it without any difficultyD) he hoped it would be accepted as an official world language57. Which of the following is NOT true of English?A) It is widely taught in schools.B) It has become a second language for many millions of people.C) Many books have been written in English.D) It is less popular than Esperanto.58. What is the best title of the passage?A) The language made by one man.B) A talk about the world language.C) English as a second language for everyone.D) Esperanto—a better language than English.Passage ThreeAfter the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had news to report: The damage and death toll could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25 ,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a. m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years havestrengthened the city ’ s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints for improved quake - resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake - resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations.When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction. The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.59. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low was that ______.A) new computers had been installed in the buildingsB) it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC) large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD) improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways 60. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ______. A) counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the buildingB) predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC) help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD) measure the impact of an earthquake’ s vibrations61. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on ______.A) the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB) the development of flexible building materialsC) the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD) early forecasts of earthquakes62. The main purpose of this passage is mostly to______.A) compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U. S.B) encourage civil engineers to makeextensive use of computersC) outline the history of the development of quake - resistant building materialsD) report new developments in constructing quake - resistant building Section BDirections; Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer with a single linePart IV Translation Section A Directions: Put the following sentences into Chinese.

In this city, Roman rulers built monuments which are famous, then and now, for their sweeping mosaics(镶嵌图案). Seven of Ravenna’s eight buildings from the 5 th and 6th centuries are spectacularly decorated with examples of this ancient art. “ In the past, many people couldn’t read or write, “ says tour guide and Ravenna native Silvia Giogoli. “Mosaics were a way to explain the religion and the political situation to the people. “Visitors to Ravenna can look at pieces of art by ancient artists, listen to musicians, and learn to make their own masterpieces. Travel Tips When to Go: June—October: weather is pleasant in April and May but historic sites can get crowded with school groups. Where to Stay:Walk through historic district sites from Albergo Cappello and stay at a modern Hotel Centrale Byron. How to Get Around: Take the train from Bologna, and then walk, bike, or use taxis within the city. Where to Eat or Drink: Housed in a former movie theater, two-storey Ristorante Cinema Alexander blends 1940s Hollywood flavor with homemade Emilia Romagna courses and attentive service(helpful in translating the menu). For fresh seafood, try Osteria L’Accigua and Da Buco. What to Buy: Watch the next generation of Emilia Romagna mosaic artists create contemporary and traditional pieces in local studios where modern artists use the same methods as their Byzantine forefathers. What to Read Before You Go: Ravenna in Late Antiquity, by Deborah Mauskopf Deliyannis(2010), provides a wide-ranging look at the city’s art, architecture, and history.21．In ancient times, mosaics were used to______.A．display artistic achievementsB．compete with Roman paintingsC．explain religion and politicsD．teach reading and writing正确答案：C22．Lots of school children visit historic sites such as Ravenna in______.A．MayB．JuneC．SeptemberD．October正确答案：A23．If you want to try fresh seafood, you should go to______.A．Emilia RomagnaB．Hotel Centrale ByronC．Ristorante Cinema AlexanderD．Osteria L’Accigua and Da Buco正确答案：D24．Why is Ravenna in Late Antiquity recommended in this passage?A．Because it was written by a famous writer.B．Because tourists get to learn a lot about the city from it.C．Because tourists can get valuable tips for buying art pieces.D．Because it provides useful information about the city’s weather.正确答案：BWhen you pat your pet dog, he wags(摆来摆去)his tail. That is his way of saying that he loves you. And, if you pay attention, you will see that he uses his tail to say so many things. Every movement of the tail means a different thing. If the dog is wagging its tail, it is a sign of friendliness: if his tail is straight, it means he is getting ready for a fight: and if his tail is tucked(塞)behind his legs, it means he is giving up the fight. Unlike dogs, cats’ tail language is not so expressive. When a cat feels threatened, he puffs himself up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension. And when he is displeased with something, he lashes out(甩动)his tail. The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it. Earlier, when dogs and cats had not become friends with human beings, they were predators. They used to hunt other animals for their food. When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy. When they were close to each other, dogs could use facial expressions to talk. But, for long-distance communication, they used their tails. Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone. So, they did not need to use tail language too often. As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs’.25．What does it mean when a dog’s tail is straight?A．It has a lot to say to you.B．It wants to stop fighting.C．It is going to fight.D．It likes to be patted.正确答案：C26．A cat tries to appear big when it is______.A．facing a dangerB．unhappyC．ready to huntD．hungry正确答案：A27．Which of the following does the author intend to say?A．Dogs and cats are not good friends.B．Dogs are much friendlier than cats.C．Dogs and cats are usually good pets.D．Dogs use tail language more than cats.正确答案：D28．In the last paragraph, the underlined word “predators” refers to______.A．animals that follow and obey other animalsB．animals that kill and eat other animalsC．animals that live in the wildD．animals kept by people正确答案：BLike any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast. Just a year old, the monthly magazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief:Patrick Ryan, 47 , the associate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal last month. Editing One Teen Story—the younger sibling(姊妹篇)of One Story magazine—will offer Ryan a chance to reach a whole new audience. “It’s really the only magazine for young adult short fiction, “ he says from his office in New York. “ It’s tremendously exciting that there are younger people out there who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month. That form is usually only presented when it’s forced upon them in schools. “Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like its sibling magazine, it doesn’t carry photographs or advertising. It’s just exactly what it says: one story per issue. Ryan says young people are “looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identify with. It’s not about having a message or positive spin(说教). It always starts on a character level, and it has to have an interesting story. If you look at the ‘ Twilight’ characters and the ‘ Harry Potter’characters, they feel very contemporary. “Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors. “I would love to make One Teen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business. I just really love the idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody—would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was worth keeping at this. “29．Who is Patrick Ryan?A．He is the editor-in-chief of Granta.B．He is the editor-in-chief of One Story.C．He is the editor-in-chief of “Twilight”.D．He is the editor-in-chief of One Teen Story.正确答案：D30．What is One Teen Story?A．It is a story magazine for teenagers.B．It is a London-based literary journal.C．It is a column of a newspaper.D．It is a magazine of science fiction.正确答案：A31．According to Ryan, what attracts young readers most?A．Photographs and illustration.B．Chances and practices in business.C．Characters and stories close to their life.D．Political teachings and moral messages.正确答案：C32．In the last paragraph, the underlined phrase “this business” means______.A．reading storiesB．writing storiesC．editing magazinesD．making money正确答案：BCouples are restricting the size of their families in the UK because of cash worries brought on by the financial crisis and the subsequent decline. We’re now up to nearly 3. 7 million families where there is an only child, a rise from about 3. 3 million in 2005. That means nearly half of all parents have only one child. Financial worries aren’t the only driver. The trend towards later motherhood has been mentioned as a cause, as have soaring costs of raising a child, which have been calculated as ￡222, 500 from birth to 21 years of age. This is an increase of nearly 40% in 10 years. The increasing availability of IVF(试管婴儿)is also a factor and an interesting one. Couples who might have remained childless in the past now invest in IVF and get pregnant. And because of the cost they stop after one child. It may not be a bad thing: there are outstanding examples of talented only children. Some argue that being an only child promoted their success. These include actors Natalie Portman and Al Paci-no, golfer Tiger Woods and even Queen Victoria. A study from the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex also showedthat the fewer brothers and sisters a child has, the happier they are. It seems fighting for parental attention and affection—which sometimes descends into physical fights —is more stressful than any adult had previously thought. And it’s not compensated(弥补)by having a playmate.33．The smaller size of UK families is mainly related to______.A．financial problemsB．technical problemsC．health problemsD．cultural problems正确答案：A34．The passage shows that IVF is______.A．safer than natural pregnancyB．very popular in UKC．very expensiveD．a risky investment正确答案：C35．What is a proved advantage of one-child family?A．Improved family life.B．Higher number of sports stars.C．Efficient family education.D．Promotion of children’s success.正确答案：D36．The findings of the institute at the University of Essex might mean that______.A．the only children’s lack of playmates causes problemsB．the only children are much happier than othersC．parents-children relationship is off balanceD．children have to struggle for parental love正确答案：BAbout 79 million Americans have pre-diabetes(糖尿病前期). That means they have blood sugar that’s higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed(诊断)with type 2—at least not yet. One long-term study reported by the American Diabetes Association found that 11 % of people with pre-diabetes develop the full-blown disease each year. Another study shows that pre-diabetes will probablybecome type 2 in 10 years or less. Yet, that process is not inevitable. Last year, scientists in Colorado found that people with pre-diabetes who lowered their blood sugar to normal levels—even briefly—were 56% less likely to reach type 2 levels. If you have pre-diabetes, here are four steps to help prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis: Lose 7% of your body weight. That is about 15 pounds for the persons who weigh 200. Dropping that small percentage has been shown to lower the risk of developing type 2 by close to 60%. Exercise 30 minutes five days a week. Whether you do the 30 minutes in one shot or in three 10-minute sessions, the benefit is the same. Choose certain exercises, such as fast walking, playing tennis or lifting weights. Physical activity such as sweeping floors works, too. Turn to your doctor. In some cases, pre-diabetes raises the risk of heart disease and stroke by 50%. Your doctor may use some medicine to control your glucose(葡萄糖)levels and keep your blood pressure in check. Know your numbers. To see if your pre-diabetes is improving, have your blood sugar checked regularly. A fasting blood sugar of 100 to 125 mg/dl suggests pre-diabetes: 126 mg/dl or above is diabetes: and below 100 is normal. Other tests, including glucose tolerance and AIC, also are used to monitor blood sugar.37．What do we learn from the two studies mentioned in Paragraph 1?A．Pre-diabetes will surely become type 2 diabetes.B．Pre-diabetes is likely to become diabetes within years.C．Enough attention should be paid to the treatment of type 2.D．Pre-diabetes is ranked No. 1 danger threatening Americans’ health.正确答案：B38．To prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis, people with pre-diabetes should pay most attention to______.A．glucose levelsB．exercisesC．heart diseaseD．stroke正确答案：A39．Which of the following suggests that you have pre-diabetes?A．70 mg/dl.B．90 mg/dl.C．110 mg/dl.D．130 mg/dl.正确答案：C40．What column of a newspaper is most likely to have this article?A．Technology.B．Entertainment.C．Education.D．Health.正确答案：DPart IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages.

浙江省统考专升本英语2014年作文题目 In the journey of life, perseverance is often the invisible force that propels us towards our dreams. It is the steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. The story of Wang Wei, a determined young man from a small village in Zhejiang province, is a testament to the profound impact of perseverance.Wang Wei's journey began when he was a young boy, dreaming of attending a prestigious university and pursuing a career in the field of technology. However, the challenges he faced were immense. His village lacked the resources and opportunities that many cities offer, and access to quality education was limited. Despite these obstacles, Wang Wei refused to give up.He rose early each morning, before the sun had even begun to peek through the horizon, to study by the dimlight of a lamp. He sacrificed playtime and social gatherings to devote himself entirely to his studies. He read books that were borrowed from neighbors or bought with savings from small jobs he took on after school. Hisperseverance was so strong that he never allowed himself to be distracted by the difficulties he faced.As the years progressed, Wang Wei's hard work began to pay off. His grades improved significantly, and he was offered scholarships and opportunities to study abroad. However, these opportunities came with their own set of challenges. Language barriers, cultural differences, and学术压力 were just some of the obstacles he had to overcome.Once again, Wang Wei's perseverance shone through. He worked double time to master the language,浸透文化, and excel in his studies. He sought help from teachers and classmates, participated in extracurricular activities, and never gave up even when faced with failure. His dedication and tenacity paid off, and he eventually graduated with honors from a top university.Wang Wei's story is not just about his personal success. It is about the power of perseverance and the belief that anything is possible with enough hard work and dedication. His journey teaches us that dreams are not just dreams;they are goals that can be achieved withpersistence and determination.Perseverance is not always easy. It requires hard work, sacrifice, and the ability to stay focused despite difficulties. However, the rewards of perseverance are immeasurable. They include not only the sense of accomplishment and pride but also the opportunity to make a positive impact on one's life and the lives of others.In conclusion, the story of Wang Wei reminds us that perseverance is the key to unlocking our dreams. It is the invisible force that propels us forward, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. With perseverance, we can turn our dreams into reality and achieve success in whatever we set our minds to.**中文内容：****坚持不懈追求梦想的力量**在人生的旅途中，坚持不懈常常是推动我们走向梦想的无形力量。

浙江省统考专升本英语2014年作文题目全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Favorite ToyHi there! My name is Lily and I'm nine years old. Today, my teacher asked us to write about our favorite toy and why we like it so much. Well, that's an easy one for me because my absolute favorite toy in the whole wide world is my stuffed elephant named Ellie!Ellie has been with me for as long as I can remember. My grandma gave her to me when I was just a tiny baby. Whenever I look at Ellie, I feel so happy and loved because she reminds me of my grandma's warm hugs and her sweet smiles. Grandma lives far away, so having Ellie makes me feel like a little bit of her is always with me.Ellie is the softest, cuddliest stuffed animal you'll ever meet. Her gray fur is so velvety smooth, and her body is perfectly squishy for snuggling. I love to bury my face in her tummy and breathe in her familiar, comforting scent. It smells like home,safety, and endless playtimes. Whenever I'm feeling sad or scared, holding Ellie close makes everything better.My favorite part of Ellie is her long trunk. It's stretchy and bendy, so I can wrap it around my wrist or use it as a handle to carry her wherever I go. Sometimes, I pretend Ellie is a real elephant and I'm her zookeeper or a brave explorer on a safari adventure. We go on incredible imaginary journeys together, swinging from vines and splashing in rivers and seeing all kinds of exotic animals. Ellie is the best adventure buddy an explorer could ask for!I take Ellie with me everywhere – to school, to my friends' houses, even to the grocery store with Mom and Dad. She's more than just a stuffed animal; she's a part of my little family. When I'm having a bad day, Ellie always cheers me up with her sweet elephant smile. And every night when I go to bed, she keeps me company and protects me from bad dreams and monsters under the bed. I don't know what I'd do without her!Some kids might think it's babyish for a third grader like me to still sleep with a stuffed animal. But those kids just don't understand how awesome and important Ellie is. She's been my very best friend since before I can even remember. We've been through so much together – learning to walk, losing my firsttooth, my first day of school. Ellie was right there by my side for all of it. We share a million special memories, and I know we'll make a million more as we keep on growing up side by side.That's why Ellie will always, always be my favorite toy, no matter how old I get. She's not just soft and cuddly; she's like a furry little piece of my heart that I can hug anytime I need to. As long as I have my sweet Ellie elephant, I'll never be lonely. She's the most loved, most traveled, most irreplaceable toy in the entire universe. And I can't wait to take her on many more grand adventures!篇2My Favorite ThingsHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I'm in the 5th grade and I love writing stories. My teacher Mrs. Park asked us to write an essay for homework on our favorite things. I thought it would be really fun to write about all the stuff I love the most!First up is my family. I have the best mom, dad, and little brother ever. My mom's name is Jing and she is so kind and caring. She always makes my favorite foods like dumplings, fried rice, and hot pot. My dad Jin works really hard at his job but he still finds time to play games with me and take me to the park.And then there's my goofy little brother Liang who is 6 years old. He does silly things that make me laugh all the time! We fight sometimes but I really love him.Another one of my favorite things is my dog Buddy. He's a golden retriever and just a big bundle of energy and love. Buddy greets me so happily when I get home from school every day, wagging his tail and licking my face. He's super playful and loves to catch frisbees and play tug-of-war with his rope toys. I like to snuggle up and read books with Buddy cuddled next to me. He's my best furry friend!School is one of my favorites too, believe it or not! I love learning new things and my classes are really interesting. My favorite subject is science because I'm obsessed with animals and nature. I want to be a marine biologist when I grow up to study whales, dolphins, and other amazing sea creatures. Math class is cool too because I'm a total math whiz. English is hard for me but I'm getting better thanks to my nice teacher Mrs. Park. She makes grammar fun with songs and games.Summer is definitely my favorite season! I love swimming at the community pool and having big water fights with my friends. We also go camping a lot as a family in the nice weather. Sleeping in a tent under the stars is so peaceful and fun. We tellghost stories, make s'mores over the campfire, and go on long hikes to see cool plants and critters. Summer is the best!Speaking of the outdoors, one of my top favorite places is the Moganshan rainforest reserve near my grandparents' home. The lush green trees, colorful birds, and wandering trails make me feel like I've stepped into another world. My grandpa used to be a ranger there so he takes us on guided tours and teaches me all about the plants and animals. I love breathing in the fresh, earthy scent and listening to the sounds of the forest.Food is another big love of mine! As I mentioned before, my mom makes incredible Chinese dishes. But I also adore pizza, hamburgers, pasta, ice cream, and pretty much any kind of dessert or snack. Chocolate is definitely my #1 vice - I can't get enough of chocolate cake, chocolate cookies, hot chocolate, you name it. It's soooooo delicious! When I'm craving something savory, french fries are my go-to choice, especially from McDonald's. Those crispy, golden, salty fries are just perfection to me.Well, I think I've covered most of my biggest loves and obsessions! As you can see, I'm a kid with a ton of different interests and passions. From family and pets to hobbies, nature, food, entertainment and more, there's so much I adore in thisworld. Life is just so bright, vibrant, and full of amazing things to discover. I feel very lucky and grateful to have such a happy childhood surrounded by so many of my favorite things and people. Can't wait to see what other cool stuff I'll get into as I keep growing up!篇3My Grandpa's GardenHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I love spending time with my grandpa because he's the best storyteller ever! He grew up on a farm and always has amazing tales to share about his childhood adventures. But my favorite thing about Grandpa is his incredible garden. It's like a magical paradise full of wonderful surprises!Grandpa's garden is huge - it takes up nearly his entire backyard. As soon as you step inside, you're surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors and delicious smells. Grandpa grows all sorts of flowers, veggies, fruits and herbs. He says keeping a garden is hard work but that's what makes it so rewarding.In the spring, the first blooms appear and perfume the air with their sweet scents. Bright yellow daffodils poke through the soil, followed by purple and white crocuses. Soon after,Grandpa's prized tulips open in shades of red, pink, orange and yellow. He has an entire tulip bed with hundreds of bulbs! The bees absolutely love buzzing around those velvety petals.Once the warm weather arrives, Grandpa's garden is an explosion of life and vibrancy. Towering sunflowers stretch toward the sun while bushy tomato plants are weighed down with ripe red fruits. Juicy strawberries snuggle under leafy greens just waiting to be plucked. And don't get me started on Grandpa's roses - he has every variety you can imagine! My favorites are the cream-colored ones with delicate ruffled petals.The herb section is my second favorite spot. I love running my hands along the fragrant plants and inhaling their earthy, robust scents. Dill, rosemary, thyme, sage, lavender, mint - you name it and Grandpa grows it! He likes to grab handfuls and crush them between his palms, releasing those incredible aromas.But as much as I adore the flowers and herbs, I think I like the vegetable patch best. That's where Grandpa taught me all about growing my own food and respecting nature's bounty. We've planted everything from leafy greens and root veggies to beans, peas, squash and corn. There's nothing better than biting into a crisp carrot you pulled straight from the ground! Grandpa alwaysrecites his gardening motto: "From tiny seeds, mighty plants grow if tended with love and patience." So wise, that Grandpa!My job is to help water the garden every evening when it's cooler. Grandpa has an old metal watering can that I lug from plant to plant, carefully giving each one a refreshing drink. The water glistens like diamonds on the leaves and flower petals. It's hard work but I don't mind a bit. Just being surrounded by such vibrant life is reinvigorating.Once the harvesting begins, Grandpa and I spend hours picking bucketfuls of fresh produce. We've grown so much that we have plenty to share with neighbors and friends. Grandma cans and preserves like crazy too so we can enjoy our "garden goodies" all year round. Let me tell you, there's nothing more delicious than Grandma's famous vegetable soup made with Grandpa's homegrown veggies! He always sneaks a handful of his pungent herbs in at the very end too.I'm so lucky that Grandpa has instilled his passion for gardening in me from such a young age. Working side-by-side with him, getting my little hands dirty, has taught me incredible lessons about patience, hard work and appreciation for nature's cycles. It's amazing to watch those tiny seedlings blossom into big, bountiful plants - all through our loving care and efforts!I dream of having a garden like Grandpa's one day. He's already teaching me all his secret gardening wisdom so I'll be prepared. "Every flower and vegetable has a story," he always reminds me. Grandpa has shared so many heart-warming stories from his childhood on the farm. Someday, I'll be able to pass those stories - and my own new ones - down to future generations too.In the evenings after our gardening chores, Grandpa and I like to sit outside together and watch the sunset colors dance across the sky. We'll sip icy lemonade and breathe in the heavenly perfumes all around us as the garden falls into slumber. Those tranquil moments are pure magic. Grandpa always gives me a warm smile and says, "This garden is proof that with devotion and nurturing, seeds can blossom into something breathtakingly beautiful." I know he's not just talking about the plants. Deep down, he means life itself.Thanks for letting me tell you about Grandpa's amazing garden! It's honestly my favorite place on Earth. The garden has given me so many cherished memories - and life lessons - already. I feel blessed to have such a warm, giving soul like Grandpa to guide me. As long as we keep tending to thosespecial seeds of wisdom together, our bountiful garden of love and joy will never stop growing.篇4My Big DreamWow, getting to write about my dream for the future is so exciting! I'm only in 5th grade but I've had my dream job picked out for years. I want to be...a zookeeper! I love animals more than anything in the whole wide world. They are just the cutest, fuzziest, most adorable little creatures. I can't get enough of playing with my dog Rufus and watching all the animal shows on TV. My favorite is the one about the saltwater crocodiles in Australia - those things are massive!I've always loved going to the zoo ever since I was a tiny little kid. My earliest memory is going to the zoo for my 3rd birthday party. We got to go behind the scenes and see where they keep the baby monkeys! One of the zookeepers let me feed a bottle to the youngest one. It was so tiny and held my finger with its little hand while drinking the milk. My heart melted into a big puddle right there! From that day on, I knew I wanted to work with animals when I grew up.At our local city zoo, I've probably gone about a hundred times by now. I have all the exhibits completely memorized - I could give the tours myself! The zookeepers there are really nice and let me ask them tons of questions whenever we go. I've learned so much from them about how to properly take care of different species. Like did you know that gorillas are actually really shy and get embarrassed if you look them directly in the eyes? Or that giraffes only sleep for about 20 minutes each day? Wild!My absolute favorite animals at our zoo are probably the big cats like the lions and tigers. I'm always completely mesmerized watching them laze around in the warm sun. But then if they catch sight of something moving like a zookeeper with their food, they suddenly turn into these crazy fierce hunters! Their eyes get all narrowed and they start stalking around checking out the scene. Then in a massive burst of energy, they'll pounce on their meal. It's so amazing to witness their raw power up close like that.The more I learn about zoo animals, the more I realize how much work goes into keeping them all healthy and happy. Zookeepers have to be super knowledgeable about each species - what their nutritional needs are, how their habitats need to beset up, what temperatures and humidity levels they like, how to safely work with them for check-ups, all of it. It's a lot of responsibility! But that's why I want to do it so badly. I'm determined to be the best zookeeper those animals have ever had.My parents keep telling me that being a zookeeper is a really hard job and the animals can be dangerous if you get too close. I always tell them "No way, not for me! Those animals will be my friends." I'm not worried about getting hurt at all. I just have a way with critters y'know? Whenever I see a dog or squirrel outside, I make this little kissing sound and they always come right over to me. My family calls me a real-life Dr. Dolittle!It will probably take a very long time before I'm finally old enough to apply for zookeeper training. You have to go to university and get a degree in biology or zoology first. But I'm already working on getting prepared for that step. For my 10th birthday last year, my parents replaced my fish tank with a much bigger one that has a 3D background painted like an ocean scene. I've been studying up on how to cycle the water, test for ammonia and nitrates, and all the other science behind keeping an aquarium healthy. Looking after those fishies is getting me ready!In a few more years when I'm in high school, I plan on volunteering at our city zoo as a junior zookeeper assistant on the weekends. I'll finally get to go behind the scenes and get hands-on experienced with feeding routines, cleaning enclosures, and learning the personalities of each individual animal. I'm sure once they get to know me they'll just adore me as much as I adore them. Maybe I'll even get to bottle-feed another baby animal - that would be a dream come true!After university, who knows where in the world I'll end up as a zookeeper? I have my sights set on possibly the famous San Diego Zoo in California or the wildlife reserves in Africa. Can you imagine getting to look after real live lions and elephants every single day? That would be unbelievably amazing! Although honestly, I'd be just as happy working at a small local zoo somewhere too. As long as I get to spend all my time caring for animals and learning everything about them, I'll be so crazy happy.Sometimes I let my mind wander and picture what my life will be like in 20 years. I'll wake up bright and early before the sun rises to start my morning routine around the zoo grounds. I'll prepare all the meals for my protégés - fresh bamboo for the篇5My Favorite ToyHi there! My name is Tommy, and I'm eight years old. I'm in the third grade, and today my teacher asked us to write an essay about our favorite toy. Well, that's an easy one for me! My favorite toy is definitely my stuffed bear named Mr. Snuggles.I've had Mr. Snuggles for as long as I can remember. Mom says she got him for me when I was just a tiny baby, and we've been best friends ever since. He's a big, soft, brown teddy bear with a friendly face and a cute little bow tie. His fur is so fluffy and cuddly, it's like giving a big hug to a cloud!I take Mr. Snuggles everywhere with me. He's my constant companion, whether I'm playing in my room, going to school, or even just watching TV on the couch. Whenever I'm feeling sad or scared, all I have to do is give him a big squeeze, and suddenly everything feels better.One of my favorite things to do with Mr. Snuggles is to have pretend tea parties. I'll set up a little table with my plastic tea set, and we'll sit down together and "drink" our imaginary tea. Sometimes I'll even put on a fancy hat and talk in a silly British accent, just for fun. Mr. Snuggles is always such a good listener, and he never interrupts or makes fun of me.At night, Mr. Snuggles sleeps right next to me in my bed. I know some kids might think it's babyish to still sleep with a stuffed animal, but I don't care. Mr. Snuggles helps keep me safe from monsters under the bed and bad dreams. Plus, he's just so cozy to snuggle up with!I remember one time when I was really little, maybe four or five years old, I lost Mr. Snuggles at the park. I was so upset, I cried and cried until mom found him under a bench. I was so relieved to have him back in my arms, I hugged him extra tight and made a promise never to lose him again.Even though I'm getting older now, I know I'll always love and cherish Mr. Snuggles. He's more than just a toy to me – he's my best friend in the whole world. When I'm an adult, I'll probably still keep him around, just for old times' sake. Maybe I'll even pass him down to my own kids someday, so they can experience the same joy and comfort that Mr. Snuggles has brought me.So that's why Mr. Snuggles is my favorite toy. He's been with me through thick and thin, always there to lend a cuddly ear or a soft shoulder to cry on. Some people might think stuffed animals are just for babies, but to me, Mr. Snuggles will always be acherished friend and companion. I can't imagine my life without him!篇6Certainly! Here's an essay of about 2,000 words, written from the perspective of an elementary school student, as if it were a response to a 2014 Zhejiang Province entrance examination essay prompt for upgrading from junior college to university:My Awesome Summer VacationHi there! My name is Andy and I just got back from the best summer vacation ever! I'm a kid in 5th grade and I had sooooo much fun over the past few months. You won't believe all the amazing things I got to do and see. Let me tell you all about it!It all started on the last day of school back in June. I was super excited because my parents had planned this awesome trip for us as a family. We were going to go see my aunt and uncle who live out in the countryside near Anji County. They have this big farm with lots of animals and wide open spaces to run around in.The morning we left, I could hardly sit still in the car I was so hyped up! The drive took forever, or at least it felt like it did tome. I kept asking "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" like a million times. My little sister was being really annoying and wouldn't stop singing stupid songs. But I didn't even care because I was just too pumped about our vacation.When we finally made it to my aunt and uncle's place, it was everything I dreamed of and more! They had chickens, pigs, sheep, and even a couple horses. The best part was they let me help out feeding the animals and taking care of them. Every morning I got up bright and early to let the chickens out and collect their eggs. Man, there's nothing like a fresh egg straight from the chicken coop!In the afternoons, I loved going on long walks and hikes around their land with my aunt. She knew so much about all the different plants and trees. She taught me which berries were safe to eat and which ones would make you sick. We picked tons of wild strawberries that were the most delicious things I've ever tasted. My aunt showed me how to make a whistle out of a blade of grass too. That was really cool!Some days we went fishing down at the big pond on their property. My uncle is a master fisherman and he taught me all his secrets and techniques. I caught my first fish ever - a big old bass! We cooked it up for dinner that night with some veggiesfrom their garden. My aunt makes the yummiest food from all her fresh ingredients.But that's not all we did, not even close! Another awesome day, my uncle took me to this park about an hour away. It was kind of like a forest playground with all these crazy wooden bridges, treehouses, zip lines and more. He let me run totally wild and free through the whole place. We played intense games of hide-and-seek and tag for hours. I was whooped by the time we left but it was an absolute blast!On the Fourth of July, we had a massive celebration at my aunt and uncle's farm. What made it really special though was that a bunch of their friends came over too with their families. There were kids my age to play with! We had mayhem-filled water balloon fights and did silly dancing contests. As it got dark, all the parents lit off these incredible fireworks. The whole night sky was lit up in blazing colors. I've never seen anything quite like it.Throughout the rest of the summer, we did so many other super fun activities too like going to museums, parks, hiking, swimming, seeing movies, and just generally having a great time. My aunt and uncle really know how to make the most of everysingle day. They were always coming up with creative new activities and adventures for us.Honestly, I learned so much from them about all sorts of things - how to take care of animals, identifying plants and trees, fishing techniques, appreciation for nature and the outdoors, and most of all just having a laidback, free-spirited kind of lifestyle. They were true masters at really enjoying the simple pleasures in life.My absolute favorite part though was just the quality time we got to spend together as a family. No school, no homework, no extracurricular activities...just us hanging out, relaxing, and making fun memories. Don't get me wrong, I love school and my friends and all that. But there's something really special about taking a break from all of that and just being 100% present with your loved ones too.By the time August rolled around and it was time to head back home, I was kind of bummed. That vacation was just what my soul needed - peace, nature, imagination, excitement, love. I'm so grateful my parents made it happen for us. It's funny because usually kids can't wait to get back home after being away for awhile. But after this trip, I actually wished we could have stayed at my aunt and uncle's place just a little bit longer.Even though the summer is over now, I'm going to hold on tight to all those amazing memories we made. Whenever I'm having a rough day or feeling stressed out, I'll just close my eyes and think back to those long summer days on the farm. I can vividly picture myself hiking through wildflower fields, petting the velvety noses of the horses, and watching a million stars twinkling in the night sky. My heart feels happy and free just reminiscing about it all.Yup, that summer at my aunt and uncle's place was absolutely life-changing and magical for me. I already can't wait for next summer so we can go back and do it all over again! Only a few more months to go. Hang in there Andy, hang in there...the fun and adventures will return before you know it. Honestly though, my biggest takeaway is that you don't need to go on some crazy exotic vacation to have an amazing time. Sometimes the greatest memories happen simply by being surrounded by those you love most in this world. That's a lesson I'll never forget.。
