Writing ability is crucial for people, no matter they are government officials, office workers or students. Especially for today’s college students, English writing ability is of even more overriding importance. On the one hand, English writing ability is the manifestation of logical thinking and analytical ability. During school, college students have to write many papers, summaries and reports which inevitably require us to organize the words logically and prudently. On the other hand, it is the foundation for other English proficiency such as reading and listening. If we don’t pay attention to writing ability, how can we improve our comprehensive competence in English? Therefore, college students should spare no efforts to develop English writing ability. In our daily life, we can take a notebook with us SO as to keep a record of our inspiration anytime; when we read some news, we may write down our real-time comments; when we read an excellent article, we may take down what we have learned from it. In this way, all of these can be used as materials for writing. In a word, English writing ability is essential and we should try our best to improve it.解析：这是一篇议论文写作。

Certainly not immediately, and perhaps not at all.What it does mean is that the book business will go through a transformation in the next decade orso more profound than any it has seen since Gutenberg introduced printing from moveable type inthe 1450s.C.Physical books will surely become much rarer in the marketplace.Mass market paperbacks, whichhave been declining for years anyway, will probably disappear, as will hardbacks for mysteries,thrillers,“omance fiction,”etc.Such books, which only rarely end up in permanent collections,either private or public, will probably only be available as e-books within a few years.Hardback andtrade paperbacks for“serious” nonfiction and fiction will surely last longer.Perhaps it will becomethe mark of an author to reckon with that he or she is Still published in hard copy.D.As for children's books, who knows? Children's_ books are like dog food in that the purchasers arenot the consumers, so the market (and the marketing) is inherently strange.E.For clues to the book's future, let's look at some examples of technological change and see whathappened to the old technology.F.One technology replaces another only because the new technology is better, cheaper, or both.Thegreater the difference, the sooner and more thoroughly the new technology replaces the old.Printingwith moveable type on paper dramatically reduced the cost of producing a book compared with theold-fashioned ones handwritten on vellum, which comes from sheepskin.A Bible--to be sure, a longbook--required vellum made from 300 sheepskins and countless man-hours of labor.Before printingarrived, a Bible cost more than a middle-class house.There were perhaps 50,000 books in all ofEurope in 1450.By 1500 there were 10 million.G.But while printing quickly caused the handwritten book to die out, handwriting lingered on(继续存在)well into the 16th century.Very special books are still occasionally produced on vellum, but they areone-of-a-kind show pieces.H.Sometimes a new technology doesn't drive the old one out, but only parts of it while forcing the restto evolve.The movies were widely predicted to drive live theater out of the marketplace, but theydidn't, because theater turned out to have qualities movies could not reproduce.Equally, TV wassupposed to replace movies but, again, did not. I.Movies did, however, fatally impact some parts of live theater.And while TV didn't kill movies, it didkill second-rate pictures, shorts, and cartoons.J.Nor did TV kill edy and drama shows (“Jack Benny,” “Amos and Andy,” “The Shadow”)all migrated to television.But because you can't drive a car and watch television at the same time,rush hour became radio's prime time, while music, talk, and news radio greatly enlarged theiraudiences.Radio is today a very different business than in the late 1940s and a much larger one.K.Sometimes old technology lingers for centtmes because of its symbolic power.Mounted cavalry (骑兵)replaced the chariot(二轮战车) on the battlefield around 1000 BC.But chariots maintained theirplace in parades and triumphs right up until the end of the Roman Empire 1,500 years later.Thesword hasn't had a militaryfunction for a hundred years, but is still part of an officer's full-dressuniform, precisely because a sword always symbolized “an officer and a gentleman.”L.Sometimes new technology is a little cranky(不稳定的) at first.Television repairman was a commonoccupation in the 1950s, for instance.And so the old technology remains as a backup.Steamshipscaptured the North Atlantic passenger business from sail in the 1840s because of its much greaterspeed.But steamships didn't lose their sails until the 1880s, because early marine engines had anasty habit of breaking down.Until ships became large enough (and engines small enough) to mounttwo engines side by side, they needed to keep sails.(The high cost of steam and the lesser need forspeed kept the majority of the world's ocean freight moving by sail until the early years of the 20th century.)M.Then there is the fireplace.Central heating was present in upper- and middle-class home by thesecond half of the 19th century.But functioning fireplaces remain to this day a powerful selling pointin a house or apartment.I suspect the reason is a deep-rooted love of fire.Fire was one of theearliest major technological advances for humankind, providing heat, protection, and cooked food (which is much easier to eat and digest).Human control of fire goes back far enough (over a millionyears) that evolution could have produced a genetic leaning towards fire as a central aspect ofhuman life.N.Books--especially books the average person could afford--haven't been around long enough toproduce evolutionary change in humans.But they have a powerfulhold on many people nonetheless,a hold extending far beyond their literary content.At their best, they are works of art and there is atactile (触觉的) pleasure in books necessarily lost in e-book versions.The ability to quickly thumbthrough pages is also lost.And a room with books in it induces, at least in some, a feeling notdissimilar to that of a fire in the fireplace on a cold winter's night.O.For these reasons I think physical books will have a longer existence as a commercial product thansome currently predict.Like swords, books have symbolic power.Like fireplaces, they induce a senseof comfort and warmth.And, perhaps, similar to sails, they make a useful backup for when the lightsgo out.46.Authors still published in printed versions will be considered important ones.47.Some people are still in favor of printed books because of the sense of touch they can provide.48.The radio business has changed greatly and now attracts more listeners.49.Contrary to many people's prediction of itsdeath, the film industry survived.50.Remarkable changes have taken place in the book business.51.Old technology sometimes continues to exist because of its reliability.52.The increase of e-book sales will force the book business to make changes not seen.for centuries.53.A new technology is unlikely to take the place of an old one without a clear advantage.54.Paperbacks of popular literature are more likely to be replaced by e-books.55.A house with a fireplace has a stronger appeal to buyers.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage .is followed by some questions orunfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, Cand D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal artsin higher education isn't an either/or proposition (命题), although the current emphasis on preparingyoung Americans for STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) -related fields can make it seem thatway.The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but alsoasserts that the study of the humanities (人文科学) and social sciences must remain central componentsof America's educational system at all levels.Both areas are critical to producing citizens who canparticipate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative (创新的) leaders, and benefit fromthe spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates' jobprospects as technological advances and changes in domestic andglobal markets transform professions inways that reduce wages and cut jobs.Under these circumstances, it's natural to look for what mayappear to be the most“practical” way out of the problem:“Major in a subject designed to get you ajob” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in thehumanities characterized as“soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run.Indeed, according to surveys, employers have expressed a preference for students who have received abroadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, andcommunicate easily.Moreover, students should be prepared not just for their first job, but for their 4th and 5th jobs, asthere's little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play manydifferent roles over the course of their careers.The ones who will do the best in this new environmentwill be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible.The ability to draw upon everyavailable tool and .insight--picked up from science, arts, and technology--to solve the problems of thefuture, and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, will be helpful to them and theUnited States.56.What does the latest congressional report suggest?A.STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.B.The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.C.The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students' spiritual life.D.Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.57.What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?A.Their interest in relevant subjects.B.The academic value of the courses.C.The quality of education to receive.D.Their chances of getting a good job.58.What does the author say about the so-called soft subjects?A.They benefit students in their future life.B.They broaden students' range of interests.C.They improve students' communication skills.D.They are essential to students' healthy growth.59.What kind of job applicants do employers look for?A.Those who have a strong sense of responsibility.B.Those who are good at solving practical problems.C.Those who are likely to become innovative leaders.D.Those who have received a well-rounded education.60.What advice does the author give to college students?A.Seize opportunities to tap their potential.B.Try to take a variety of practical courses.C.Prepare themselves for different job .options.D.Adopt a flexible approach to solving problems.Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Energy independence.It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? If you think so, you're not alone, becauseenergy independence has been the dream of American presidents for decades, and never more so than inthe past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off thegreat recession.“Energy independence” and its rhetorical(修辞的) companion “energy security', are, however, slipperyconcepts that are rarely thought through.What is it we want independence from, exactly?Most people would probably say that they want tobe independent from imported oil.But there arereasons that we buy all that off from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running.Yes, there is a trickle (涓涓细流)of biofuel (生物燃料) available, and more may become available, but most biofueis cause economic wasteand environmental destruction.Second, Americans have basically decided that they don't really want to produce all their Own oil.They value the environmental quality they preserve, over their off imports from abroad.Vast areas of theUnited States are off-limits to off exploration and production in the name of environmental protection.Towhat extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energyproduction in order to cut back imports?Third, there are benefits to trade.It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buythings fromplaces that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit.And although you don't read about thismuch, the United States is also a large exporter of off products, selling about 2 million barrels ofpetroleum products per day to about 90 countries.There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies onthat steady flow to maintain its economy.When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in shortsupplies and higher prices.At the same time, we derive massive economic benefits when we buy themost affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.61.What does the author say about energy independence for America?A.It sounds very attractive.B.It ensures national security.C.It will bring oil prices down.D.It has long been everyone's dream.62.What does the author think of biofuels?A.They keep America's economy running healthily.B.They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.C.They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.D.They cause serious damage to the environment63.Why does America rely heavily on off imports?A.It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.B.Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.C.It wants to keep its own environment intact.D.Its own oil production falls short of demand.64.What does the author say about oil trade?A.It proves profitable to both sides.B.It improves economic efficiency.C.It makes for economic prosperity.D.It saves the cost of oil exploration.65.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To justify America's dependence on oil imports.B.To arouse Americans' awareness of the energy crisis.C.To stress the importance of energy conservation.D.To explain the increase of international oil trade.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.为了促进教育公平，中国已投入360亿元，用于改善农村地区教育设旋和加强中西部地区农村义务教育(compulsory education).这些资金用于改善教学设施、购买书籍，使l6万多所中小学受益.资金还用于购置音乐和绘画器材.现在农村和山区的儿童可以与沿海城市的儿童一样上音乐和绘画课.一些为接受更好教育而转往城市上学的学生如今又回到了本地农村学校就读.试题答案一、写作If l were to recommend the must-see city for a visitor to China．1 would undoubtedly come up with“Beijing”．Several reasons may account for my choice．First，as the capital city of China for over 700 years，Beijing is blessed with numerous tourist destinations of tremendous historical importance．These include the Great Wall，a famous line of defense；the Forbidden City，an enormous palace compound；the Temple of Heaven，a fascinating site of imperial worship；the Summer Palace，a wonderful imperial garden etc．Second，standing side by side with those brilliant symbols of the imperial past are artistic modern buildtngs such as the olympic Village，the Bird’S Nest Stadium and the Water Cube，as well as the characteristic Siheyuans and Hutongs，the very windows to Betjin9’S old ways of life．Third，home to Bering opera--a well-known traditional form of+art treasure--and thefamousspecialty PekingRoast Duck，Bering is ready to entertain any traveler’S eyes，ears and stomach．To summarize，Beijing is a city that a visitor to China should not miss．二、选择1.B2.A3.C4.B5.A6.D7.C8.B9.A 10.D 11.A 12.D 13.C 14.D 15.B 16.A 17.D 18.C 19.A 20.B 21.A 22.D 23.B 24.C 25.C三、运用26.well-meanin927.adjusting to28.aware ofpetition30.Accustomed31.gently32.threaten33．cut off34.identification35.adults。

The more they resort to technology,the more addicted they become to technology.All in all,it is an indisputable fact that people are becoming more addicted to technology,owing to the fact that it can release their psychological and physical pressure.答案解析：1.Wherever you go,be it in a subway or on the street,you can see Phubbers whose eyes seem glued to the screen of their smart phones.本句中wherever引导地点状语从句，也可视为让步状语从句。

2. 学校应该丰富学生的校园生活【范文】A Letter to the University PresidentDear Sir,I am writing to put up some suggestions concerning our teaching and campus life.As a sophomore from the Math Department, I am quite satisfied with the present condition of my university, but I餯like to say that there is still some room for improvement.First, I believe that more attention should be paid to the guidance of our study methods. To some extent, university students are capable of studying by themselves, but more often than never, we find ourselves at a loss as to choose good books to read and appropriate topics for our research. It is clear that we need some advice from our teachers. If our teachers can lecture more on “how to learn by yourself” for us, especially for the freshmen, our skills will be further improved.Second, more activities should be conducted to make our campus life more colorful. I餸sorry to say that the present life on campus is quite boring. Every day we have classes, read in the library, or stay in the dormitory. Life here is routine. We need more meaningful activities organized to enrich our college life and enable us to study more efficiently.I hope you can consider my suggestions. Thank you.Yours sincerelyLi Minga2010年6月大学英语四六级考试写作训练题(2)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic My Opinion on Campus Lectures. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:1. 大学校园里的讲座丰富多彩2. 听讲座的益处3. 你对在大学校园里听讲座的评论【范文】My Opinion on Campus LecturesIn recent years, more and more lectures are being given on campus. They are organized either by the departments or by the students unions with an aim to improve the students quality both mentally and academically. These lectures are usually in series and on different topics, such as arts, life, economy, psychology and world issues.Generally speaking, the advantages of good lectures are various. First they broaden the students knowledge horizon and cultivate interest in different fields. Second, they make the life of the students colorful and enjoyable.With these merits, lectures are just complementary and subordinate to our school work. If students spend too much time attending lectures, their regular study will be affected and disturbed. So, in my opinion, the students should, on the one hand, do their class work and homework well first, on the other hand, set as more time as possible to attend good lectures which are helpful to our life and study.2010年6月大学英语四六级考试写作训练题(3) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter of thanks.

2023年6月大学英语四级考试真题三作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Big Bad English TestHello! My name is Johnny and I'm 10 years old. I love playing soccer and video games with my friends. But this year, I had to take a really tough English test called the CET4. It was super hard! Let me tell you all about it.In June 2023, it was time for the CET4 exam. CET4 stands for College English Test Band 4. It's a big important test that you have to pass to graduate from university in China. Even though I'm just a kid, my mom made me take a practice test to get ready. She said it would be good experience. I wasn't too excited about it at first, but then I thought hey, maybe it will be kind of fun!The test had four sections - listening, reading, writing and translation. We started with the listening part. The nice lady's voice on the recording was pretty easy to understand at first. She was talking about everyday stuff like shopping and making friends. But then it got way harder with conversations about science and business. My ears were ringing by the end!After that was the reading section. We had to read really long passages on topics like environmental protection, exciting new technologies, and classic literature stories. There were so many big fancy words that I'd never heard before. My brain felt like mush after pushing through all those readings.Then came the writing section - the part I was dreading the most. We had to write a short essay of about 200 words, which doesn't sound too bad. But the question was super hard! It said "These days more and more young people are aspiring to start their own businesses instead of seeking employment at established companies. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?" How is a 10-year-old kid supposed to know about that stuff?! I just wrote about how I wanted to start a lemonade stand business when I grow up.The last part was translation, where we had to translate passages from Chinese into English and vice versa. I thought translating from Chinese to English would be easy for me, since I'm a native Chinese speaker. But there were so many idioms, proverbs and chengyu (those four-word sayings) that were impossible to directly translate. My English vocabulary wasn't good enough to capture the real meanings. Going from English to Chinese wasn't much easier - there were so many weirdEnglish phrases and cultural references that just didn't make sense to me. By the end, my brain was like a fried egg!Even though the CET4 was crazy difficult, I'm really glad I got to practice it. It showed me how much I still have to learn about English. It also showed me that tests can be篇2My Trip to the Big Test DayYay! Today was the day I took the big English test called the CET-4 exam. It was super exciting and I had to wake up really really early.First thing in the morning, I brushed my teeth and got dressed in my lucky clothes - blue shorts with race cars on them and my favorite Superman t-shirt. Then I had a big breakfast to give me energy. I ate two bowls of chocolate rice krispies cereal with lots of sugar and a big glass of orange juice. My mom said I shouldn't have so much sugar before the test but I told her I needed fuel for my brain engines!After breakfast, we drove to the test center. There were so many people there, it looked like a big crowd at a concert or something. We had to park really far away and walk a longdistance. Good thing I had my race car shoes on so I could run fast!When we got inside, there were signs everywhere pointing which way to go. It felt like a maze, but finally we found the room where I would take the test. The room was giant and had rows and rows of little desks. My desk had a prompt sheet on it and a few pencils. The pencils were fresh and really sharp. I gave one of them a few practice taps on the desk and it made a nice strong sound. I was ready to go!Soon the teachers came in and told everyone to be quiet and put our pencils down. One of the teachers was an oldgrumpy-looking man with a bald head and thick glasses. He looked really serious and I thought he might yell at us if we made any noise. I decided I better be on my best behavior.Then the head teacher explained all the rules in a loud booming voice. We couldn't talk at all during the whole test, couldn't leave the room unless it was an emergency, and had to keep our eyes on our own papers. It sounded just like the rules my teachers give for tests at school. Easy peasy!Finally it was time to start the writing section. The instructions said to write a response to the prompt about anexperience that taught me an important lesson. Hmmmm what should I write about?I started tapping my pencil as I thought. Oh! I knew the perfect thing to write about! A couple months ago, I was playing basketball in the driveway and keeping score in my head. But then I got distracted and lost track of the score. I got really frustrated and angry and starting crying. That's when my dad came out and gave me a serious talk. He said I shouldn't get so worked up about little things and need to stay calm, because getting upset and mad doesn't help solve any problems. It's much better to take a deep breath and relax. Dad's advice really stuck with me and helped me chill out in other situations after that too.So I wrote all about that experience for my essay, using lots of descriptive words to make it really come alive. I wrote about the hot summer day, the basketball bouncing on the driveway, and how mad I was feeling when the tears started coming. Then I explained what my dad told me about staying calm and breathing deeply. For the conclusion I wrote about times after that when I remembered to relax instead of getting upset. The whole essay took up three full pages! My hand was getting a little sore from all that writing but I was really proud of my work.Pretty soon, the teacher announced that the writing portion was over and it was time for the listening part. This is where we had to listen to recordings and answer multiple choice questions. The teachers passed out special pencils for filling in the bubble sheets. Mine had a cool pattern with yellow and blue swirls on it. As long as I paid close attention, this listening part shouldn't be too hard.And then after listening, it was time for the reading part. This was a bunch of passages and stories that we had to read and then answer questions on what they were about. Some of the passages were pretty long and had fancy words I didn't know, but I did my best reading carefully and thinking about the main points. Some of the stories were pretty interesting and crazy, like one about a man who got struck by lightning seven times! Can you believe that? The guy must have been incredibly unlucky. If that happened to me I'd probably start carrying a lightning rod around everywhere I went.Finally, after reading all those passages and stories and answering what felt like a zillion questions, it was over! The head teacher told us to put down our pencils. I was feeling pretty tired by then but also proud for making it through this big importanttest. I had worked really hard studying and it felt great to apply all that knowledge.After turning in our tests, we got to go outside for a break. It was such a nice sunny day that some kids even played a quick game of tag. I just laid on the grass and rested for a bit though, since I was feeling kind of zapped from all that brain work.Soon it was time to line up again for the speaking part of the test. For this part, we had to go one-by-one into a private room and speak to a test grader who recorded our responses. When it was my turn, I went into the little room and there was a nice friendly-looking teacher sitting at a desk. She asked me to describe my favorite person and explain why I look up to them.Immediately I knew I would talk about my Uncle Jerome who is a scientist. I love Uncle Jerome because he is really smart and funny and always plays cool games with me when I visit. Like last time, we made a little rocket out of baking soda and vinegar and launched it hundreds of feet into the air! Uncle Jerome has a great spirit of curiosity and discovery about the world, and he encourages me to explore and ask questions too. We go on nature walks together and he teaches me all about biology and physics using fun examples. I try to be like Uncle Jerome and staycurious and keep studying hard so maybe one day I can be a scientist too.I spoke for about two minutes giving all those details to the grader. She smiled the whole time and I think I did a pretty good job because she gave me a big thumbs up at the end. Yes! Nailed it.After speaking it was finally, finally, FINALLY over! I had completed all sections of the CET-4 exam. What a marathon! I felt like collapsing into a heap on the ground, but instead I gathered what little energy I had left and skipped out to find my mom. I was so proud and excited to tell her all about it!Mom gave me a huge bear hug when she saw me. I could tell she was proud too. We walked back across the campus beneath the warm sunrays, feet crunching on the gravel paths. I felt like a superhero who had gone through an incredible challenge and made it out alive. And I had my lucky Superman shirt partially to thank!In the car on the way home, I dozed off for a bit, dreaming of rocket ships and basketballs and vinegar volcanoes. When we got back home, mom went and picked up a special celebratory treat for me - a banana split sundae from my favorite ice creamparlor! I dug into that delicious sweet creation, feeling happiness wash over me like a tropical wave. All the hard workhad paid off.That's the story of my exciting CET-4 adventure! It was an amazingly memorable day full of challenges and triumphs. Even though it was tough, I felt like a little warrior slaying the exam dragon. And now I can't wait to get my scores back and see how I did. Hopefully my hard work and determined spirit was enough to emerge victorious! No matter what though, I know I gave it my best. And that's a championship effort I canalways be proud of.篇3The Super Awesome 2023 June College Test!Hi everyone! My name is Timmy and I'm 9 years old. I just took the big college English test last month and I can't wait to tell you all about the writing part. Get ready for some serious fun!For the first writing question, we had to write a letter to our future self talking about our hopes and dreams. I wrote that in 10 years I hope I'll be a famous video game designer creating the coolest games ever! I want to make games with talking animals,spaceships, laser blasters, and tons of cool power-ups. I told my future self to never give up on that dream no matter what!The next writing question was to give a speech pretending we were running for class president. I started my speech by promising every day would be Ice Cream Sundae Friday if I got elected. Then I said we'd go on more field trips to awesome places like waterparks, zoos, and arcades. I promised longer recess times andocolate milk in the cafeteria drink machines too. Who wouldn't vote for that?!The last writing part was the most fun. We had to write a short story using our imagination. I wrote about a boy who accidentally got shrunken down to the size of an ant after his scientist dad's invention went haywire. The boy had to go on an epic adventure through the backyard, escaping killer bees, avoiding getting stepped on by the neighbors, and battling the evil dust mites that lived under the porch. It was such a crazy story!To make my story even better, I added in lots of descriptive words to set the scene. I talked about the "towering blades of grass that scraped the sky" and the "fluttering dandelion seeds drifting across the vast wilderness of the lawn." I described dodging "the glistening dew droplets that threatened to drownhim" and seeing the "intricate metropolis of ant tunnels and chambers carved into the dirt." My story was a mini blockbuster movie!I also tried to put in examples of figurative language like metaphors and similes to make my writing more vivid. I described the bees' incessant buzzing as "vengeful hornets patrolling on deadly reconnaissance flights" and said the boy felt "as insignificant as a speck of dirt in the enormity of the great outdoors." I thought those flowery phrases made my story seem more dramatic and exciting.The writing part of the test was so much fun! I got to use my creativity and imagination to the fullest. And I practiced important writing skills like:• Organizing my ideas into a clear structure with an intro, body, and conclusion• Using des criptive adjectives and adverbs to add detail• Trying out figurative language like similes, metaphors, and personification• Writing for different purposes like stories, speeches, and letters• Checking my spelling, grammar, and punctuationI wasn't sure how I did on the test yet, but I gave it my best effort. Writing has always been one of my favorite parts of English class. I just let my ideas run wild and tried to have fun with it!Well, that's the inside scoop on the big writing test, friends! It challenged me but also let me use my creativity. Maybe I'll become a famous author someday and you can buy my books. A kid can dream, right? Thanks for reading my super descriptive essay - I hoped you liked it as much as I liked writing it. Time to go play video games!篇4My Awesome Summer VacationThe summer vacation was finally here! No more teachers, no more books, no more smelly lunchroom. Just three months of pure freedom to do whatever I wanted. This was going to be the best summer ever!The first week I mostly just played video games and slept in late. My mom kept nagging me to go outside and get some fresh air and exercise, but I didn't listen. I was having too much fun blasting aliens and rescuing princesses. Hey, pushing buttons really fast is exercise for your fingers, right?After a while though, even I got a little bored of the same old games. My best friend Tyler came over and we decided to go on an adventure. We packed up some snacks and comic books, hopped on our bikes, and set off to explore the woods behind my house.At first it was really fun. We found a cool looking stick that made a great pretend sword for fighting off evil dragons and ogres. There were lots of bushes to push through and jump over like we were commandos on a secret mission. We even saw a rabbit hopping around and a couple squirrels scurrying up a tree.But then things started to get a little scary. We couldn't find the trail to get back home and the woods just seemed to go on forever, with all the trees looking the same. We tried yelling for help but our voices just got swallowed up by the trees. I started imagining we might have to spend the night out there, surrounded by who knows what kind of wild animals!Just when I thought we might never find our way out, we finally spotted a familiar landmark - the rusty old car body that some idiot had dumped back there years ago. From there, we knew to just head east and we'd run right into my neighborhood. We made it home muddy, exhausted, and totally famished, but glad to be alive!The next few weeks were a blur of fun activities. We went to the community pool almost every day and had epic water bomb battles. My parents took us camping one weekend in the mountains. We roasted marshmallows around the campfire, hiked to a cool waterfall, and best of all, we didn't have any video games or TVs around to distract us.I also went to summer camp for a week at the local rec center. We did all kinds of arts and crafts like making potholders and melting crayons into crazy designs. We played dodgeball and kickball at recess. And we went on a field trip to the science museum downtown, where I got to make a laser show and learn about the planets in the cool Imax theater.But unfortunately, no summer lasts forever. Before I knew it, it was time to start getting ready to go back to school. My mom took me shopping for new clothes and school supplies. We got notebooks, pencils, a new backpack, and even a fancy graphing calculator that could probably launch a space shuttle.I wasn't ready for the lazy days of summer to end, but I actually was a little excited to start 5th grade and see my friends again every day. The final week before school, I helped my mom start going through my summer reading list. I had to read these two books called Where the Red Fern Grows and Island of theBlue Dolphins. They were kind of hard, with a lot of big vocabulary words I didn't know, but the stories were actually pretty interesting once you got into them.Finally, the big day arrived. I laid out my freshly laundered clothes, packed up my backpack, and tried to get to bed early so I wouldn't be a zombie at school in the morning. The next day, my mom made my favorite pancakes for breakfast and I promised her I'd have an awesome year.Well, that's about it for my super fun summer of 2023! I got to have all kinds of incredible adventures, but I'm also ready to start learning new things again. 5th grade, here I come!篇5My Summer Vacation PlansHi everyone! My name is Tommy and I'm 10 years old. I just finished 4th grade and I'm super excited for summer vacation! I have lots of fun plans that I want to tell you all about.First of all, my family is going on a big trip! We are going to drive to Florida to visit my aunt, uncle, and cousins who live there. The drive will take like 2 days because we are coming all the way from California. I don't mind though because I love road trips!We can play games, sing songs, and see cool stuff out the window. My mom packed some books and activities to keep me busy too.In Florida, we are going to do so many fun things! We are going to Disney World and Universal Studios. I'm most excited to go to the Harry Potter land and ride all the roller coasters. I also really want to go swimming with dolphins. How cool would that be?! My cousins live right near the beach too so we can build sandcastles, hunt for seashells, and play in the ocean. We might even go on a pirate ship cruise! Arghh mateys!After we visit my cousins, we are going on a cruise for a week. I've never been on a cruise ship before so I can't wait. There are tons of amazing things on the ship like waterslides, rock climbing, mini golf, movies, and so much food! We get to stop at different islands and go snorkeling and see tropical fish. Maybe we'll even see some sharks (hopefully not too close though)! I'm practicing holding my breath underwater so I can snorkel for a long time.When we get back home from our big trip, I want to take swimming lessons so I can be a really good swimmer by next summer. I'm going to spend a lot of time at our neighborhood pool working on my strokes and diving. My best friend Johnny lives next door so he'll probably be there with me every day.We're going to have awesome swimming races and See who can make the biggest cannon balls!My family also got a new puppy named Rusty a few weeks ago. He's this tiny cute little orange fluffball. Over the summer, I'm going to work on training him to do tricks like shake, roll over, and catch treats. I've been watching puppy training videos to get tips. I hope I can teach him lots of cool tricks by the time school starts back up!Mom said I can also get a job walking our neighbor's dogs in the evenings to make some extra money. I'm going to save up to buy some new video games I want. It will be fun getting to play with a bunch of different dogs every day and being outdoors. Just hopefully they are friendly dogs and don't pull me down the street!At the end of the summer, my family is throwing me a big birthday party for my 11th birthday! I'm so excited. We are going to have it at a trampoline park and all my friends are coming. We'll get to jump around for hours, play dodgeball, and go in the foam pit. After we're tired from jumping, we'll have pizza, cake, and ice cream. It's going to be epic!Those are my big summer plans so far. Of course I'll also have plenty of time to sleep in, chill by the pool, read comics,play video games, and hang out with my friends. Summer is the best time of year! I can't wait for all my adventures to start. This is going to be the funnest summer ever! Well, I'm off to start packing my suitcase. Thanks for reading, catch ya later!篇6Title: My Summer Vacation PlansThis summer, I have really exciting plans! School will be out soon, and I'll have almost three whole months off from classes and homework. That's a very long time to have fun and go on adventures.First, my family is going to take a road trip! We are going to drive far away to a place called the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is a huge, deep hole in the ground made of red rocks. It was carved out over millions of years by a giant river. My dad says the Grand Canyon is one of the most amazing natural wonders of the world. We are going to hike down into the canyon and camp overnight. I've never been camping before, so I'm a little nervous but also really excited to sleep outside in a tent under the stars. I hope I see some cool animals like elk or coyotes!After our camping trip to the Grand Canyon, we are flying to Hawaii to stay at a beach resort. Hawaii is a group of islands far out in the Pacific Ocean. I've never been to Hawaii before, but I've seen pictures and it looks like paradise. The islands have beautiful sandy beaches, huge waves for surfing, and tons of palm trees. Our hotel is right on the ocean, so we can swim and build sandcastles every day. My mom said we might even get to go snorkeling and see colorful fish! I don't know how to snorkel yet, but I'm going to take a lesson. For one week, we don't have to worry about anything except having fun in the sun.When we get back home from Hawaii, I'm going to baseball camp for two weeks. Baseball is my favorite sport, and I've been playing since I was six years old. At baseball camp, we'll have practice twice per day to work on batting, fielding, base running, and pitching. The coaches are really good former college baseball players, so I know I'll learn a lot of new skills. In the evenings after practice, we'll have big campfires and do fun activities like talent shows. I can't wait to meet kids from all over who love baseball as much as me. Maybe I'll even make some new best friends!For the last part of my summer vacation, I don't have any big trips planned. But that's okay, because I'm going to sleep lateevery day, play lots of video games, and ride my bike to the pool with my neighborhood friends. We'll have Light Saber battles, water balloon fights, and popsicle parties. My mom is going to sign me up for the summer reading program at the library too. If you read a certain number of books, you get a free pizza! I love reading and I love pizza, so I'll definitely do my best.Does this sound like an awesome summer or what? Between our big family trips and my baseball camp and lazy neighborhood days, it's going to be non-stop fun. Summer is finally here and I can't wait for all my adventures to start. No teachers, no homework, no bedtimes - just three full months of fun in the sun! Three...two...one...LET THE SUMMER BEGIN!。

An observer may____27____a rainbow to be located either near or far away, but this phenomenon is not actually located at any specific spot. Instead, the appearance of a rainbow depends entirely upon the position of the observer in____28____to the direction of light. In essence, a rainbow is an____29____illusion.Rainbows present a____30____made up of seven colors in a specific order. In fact, school children in many English-speaking countries are taught to remember the name “Roy G. Biv” as an aid for remembering the colors of a rainbow and their order. “Roy G. Biv”____31____for: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Blame your worthless workdays on meeting recovery syndromeA) Phyllis Hartman knows what it’s like to make one’s way through the depths of office meeting hell. Managers at one of her former human resources jobs arranged so many meetings that attendees would fall asleep at the table or intentionally arrive late. With hours of her day blocked up with unnecessary meetings, she was often forced to make up her work during overtime. “I was actually working more hours than I probably would have needed to get the work done,” says Hartman, who is founder and president of PGHR Consulting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.B) She isn’t alone in her frustration. Between 11 million and 55 million meetings are held each day in the United States, costing most organisations between 7% and 15% of their personnel budgets. Every week, employees spend about six hours in meetings, while the average manager meets for a staggering 23 hours.C) And though experts agree that traditional meetings are essential for making certain decisions and developing strategy, some employees view them as one of the most unnecessary parts of the workday. The result is not only hundreds of billions of wasted dollars, but an annoyance of what organisational psychologists call “meeting recovery syndrome (MRS)”: time spent cooling off and regaining focus after a useless meeting. If you run to the office kitchen to get some relief with colleagues after a frustrating meeting,you’re likely experiencing meeting recovery syndrome.D) Meeting recovery syndrome is a concept that should be familiar to almost anyone who has held a formal job. It isn’t ground-breaking to say workers feel fatigued after a meeting, but only in recent decades have scientists deemed the condition worthy of further investigation. With its links to organisational efficiency and employee wellbeing, MRS has attracted the attention of psychologists aware of the need to understand its precise causes and cures.E) Today, in so far as researchers can hypothesise, MRS is most easily understood as a slow renewal of finite mental and physical resources. When an employee sits through an ineffective meeting their brain power is essentially being drained away. Meetings drain vitality if they last too long, fail to engage employees or turn into one-sided lectures. The conservation of resources theory, originally proposed in 1989 by Dr. Stevan Hobfoll, states that psychological stress occurs when a person’s resources are threatened or lost. When resources are low, a person will shift into defence to conserve their remaining supply. In the case ofoffice meetings, where some of employees’ most valuable resources are their focus, alertness and motivation, this can mean an abrupt halt in productivity as they take time to recover.F) As humans, when we transition from one task to another on the job —say from sitting in a meeting to doing normal work—it takes an effortful cognitive switch. We must detach ourselves from the previous task and expend significant mental energy to move on. If we are already drained to dangerous levels, then making the mental switch to the next thing is extra tough. It’s common to see people cyber-loafing after a frustrating meeting, going and getting coffee, interrupting a colleague and telling them about the meeting, and so on.G) Each person’s ability to recover from horrible meetings is different. Some can bounce back quickly, while others carry their fatigue until the end of the workday. Yet while no formal MRS studies are currently underway, one can loosely speculate on the length of an average employee’s lag time. Switching tasks in a non-MRS condition takes about 10 to 15 minutes. With MRS, it may take as long as 45 minutes on average. It’s even worse when a worker has several meetings that are separated by 30 minutes. “Not enough time to transition in a non-MRS situation to get anything done, and in an MRS situation, not quite enough time to recover for the next meeting,” says researcher Joseph Allen. “Then, add the compounding of back-to-back bad meetings and we may have an epidemic on our hands.”H) In an effort to combat the side effects of MRS, Allen, along with researcher Joseph Mroz and colleagues at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, published a study detailing the best ways to avoid common traps, including a concise checklist of do’s and don’ts applicable to any workplace. Drawing from around 200 papers to compile their comprehensive list, Mroz and his team may now hold a remedy to the largely undefined problem of MRS.I) Mroz says a good place to start is asking ourselves if our meetings are even necessary in the first place. If all that’s on the agenda is a quick catch-up, or some non-urgent information sharing, it may better suit the group to send around an email instead. “The second thing I would always recommend is keep the meeting as small as possible,” says Mroz. “If they don’t actually have some kind of immediate input, then they can follow up later. They don’t need to be sitting in this hour-long meeting.” Less time in meetings would ultimately lead to more employee engagement in the meetings they do attend, which experts agree is a proven remedy for MRS.J) Employees also feel taxed when they are invited together to meetings that don’t inspire participation, says Cliff Scott, professor of organisational science. It takes precious time for them to vent their emotions, complain and try to regain focus after a pointless meeting—one of the main traps of MRS. Over time as employees find themselves tied up in more and more unnecessary meetings—and thus dealing with increasing lag times from MRS—the waste of workday hours can feel insulting.K) Despite the relative scarcity of research behind the subject, Hartman has taught herself many of the same tricks suggested in Mroz’s study, and has come a long way since her days of being stuck with unnecessary meetings. The people she invites to meetings today include not just the essential employees, but also representatives from every department that might have a stake in the issue at hand. Managers like her, who seek input even from non-experts to shape their decisions, can find greater support and cooperation from their workforce, she says.L) If an organisation were to apply all 22 suggestions from Mroz and Allen’s findings, the most noticeable difference would be a stark decrease in the total number of meetings on the schedule, Mroz says. Lesstime in meetings would ultimately lead to increased productivity,which is the ultimate objective of convening a meeting. While none of the counter-MRS ideas have been tested empirically yet, Allen says one trick with promise is for employees to identify things that quickly change their mood from negative to positive. As simple as it sounds, finding a personal happy place, going there and then coming straight back to work might be key to facilitating recovery.M) Leaders should see also themselves as “stewards of everyone else’s valuable time”, adds Steven Rogelberg, author of The Surprising Science of Meetings. Having the skills to foresee potential traps and treat employees’ endurance with care allows leaders to provide effective short-term deterrents to MRS.N) Most important, however, is for organisations to awaken to the concept of meetings being flexible, says Allen. By reshaping the way they prioritise employees’ time, companies can eliminate the very sources of MRS in their tracks.36. Although employees are said to be fatigued by meetings, the condition has not been considered worthy of further research until recently. 37. Mroz and his team compiled a list of what to do and what not to do to remedy the problem of MRS.38. Companies can get rid of the root cause of MRS if they give priority to workers’ time.39. If workers are exhausted to a dangerous degree, it is extremely hard for them to transition to the next task.40. Employees in America spend a lot of time attending meetings while the number of hours managers meet is several times more.41. Phyllis Hartman has learned by herself many of the ways Mroz suggested in his study and made remarkable success in freeing herself fromunnecessary meetings.42. When meetings continue too long or don’t engage employees, they deplete vitality.43. When the time of meetings is reduced, employees will be more engaged in the meetings they do participate in.44. Some employees consider meetings one of the most dispensable parts of the workday.45. According to Mroz, if all his suggestions were applied, a very obvious change would be a steep decrease in the number of meetings scheduled.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Sarcasm and jazz have something surprisingly in common: You know them when you hear them. Sarcasm is mostly understood through tone of voice, which is used to portray the opposite of the literal words. For example, when someone says, “Well, that’s exactly what I need right now,” their tone can tell you it’s not what they need at all.Most frequently, sarcasm highlights an irritation or is, quite simply, mean.If you want to be happier and improve your relationships, cut out sarcasm. Why? Because sarcasm is actually hostility disguised as humor.Despite smiling outwardly, many people who receive sarcastic comments feel put down and often think the sarcastic person is rude, or contemptible. Indeed, it’s not surprising that the origin of the word sarcasm derives from the Greek word “sarkazein” which literally means “to tear or strip the flesh off.” Hence, it’s no wonder that sarcasm is often preceded by the word “cutting” and that it hurts.What’s more, since actions strongly determine thoughts and feelings, when a person consistently acts sarcastically it may only serve to heighten their underlying hostility and insecurity. After all, when you come right down to it, sarcasm can be used as a subtle form of bullying —and most bullies are angry, insecure, or cowardly.Alternatively, when a person stops voicing negative comments, especially sarcastic ones, they may soon start to feel happier and more self-confident. Also, other people in their life benefit even more because they no longer have to hear the emotionally hurtful language of sarcasm.Now, I’m not saying all sarcasm is bad. It may just be better usedsparingly—like a potent spice in cooking. Too much of the spice, and the dish will be overwhelmed by it. Similarly, an occasional dash of sarcastic wit can spice up a chat and add an element of humor to it. But a big or steady serving of sarcasm will overwhelm the emotional flavor of any conversation and can taste very bitter to its recipient.So, tone down the sarcasm and work on clever wit instead, which is usually without any hostility and thus more appreciated by those you’re communicating with. In essence, sarcasm is easy while true, harmless wit takes talent.Thus, the main difference between wit and sarcasm is that, as already stated, sarcasm is often hostility disguised as humor. It can be intended to hurt and is often bitter and biting. Witty statements are usually in response to someone’s unhelpful remarks or behaviors, and the intent is to untangle and clarify the issue by emphasizing its absurdities. Sarcastic statements are expressed in a cutting manner; witty remarks are delivered with undisguised and harmless humor.46. Why does the author say sarcasm and jazz have something surprisingly in common?A) Both are recognized when heard.B) Both have exactly the same tone.C) Both mean the opposite of what they appear to.D) Both have hidden in them an evident irritation.47. How do many people feel when they hear sarcastic comments?A) They feel hostile towards the sarcastic person.B) They feel belittled and disrespected.C) They feel a strong urge to retaliate.D) They feel incapable of disguising their irritation.48. What happens when a person consistently acts sarcastically?A) They feel their dignity greatly heightened.B) They feel increasingly insecure and hostile.C) They endure hostility under the disguise of humor.D) They taste bitterness even in pleasant interactions.49. What does the author say about people quitting sarcastic comments?A) It makes others happier and more self-confident.B) It restrains them from being irritating and bullying.C) It benefits not only themselves but also those around them.D) It shields them from negative comments and outright hostility.50. What is the chief difference between a speaker’s wit and sarcasm?A) Their clarity.B) Their appreciation.C) Their emphasis.D) Their intention.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Variability is crucially important for learning new skills. Consider learning how to serve in tennis. Should you always practise serving from the exactly same location on the court, aiming at the same spot? Although practising in more variable conditions will be slower at first, it will likely make you a better tennis player in the end. This is because variability leads to better generalisation of what is learned.This principle is found in many domains, including speech perception and learning categories. For instance, infants will struggle to learn the category “dog” if they are only exposed to Chihuahuas, instead of many different kinds of dogs.“There are over ten different names for this basic principle,” says Limor Raviv, the senior investigator of a recent study. “Learning from less variable input is often fast, but may fail to generalise to new stimuli.”To identify key patterns and understand the underlying principles of variability effects, Raviv and her colleagues reviewed over 150 studies on variability and generalisation across fields, including computer science, linguistics, categorisation, visual perception and formal education.The researchers discovered that, across studies, the term variability can refer to at least four different kinds of variability, such as set size and scheduling. “These four kinds of variability have never been directly compared—which means that we currently don’t know which is most effective for learning,” says Raviv.The impact of variability depends on whether it is relevant to the task or not. But according to the ‘Mr. Miyagi principle’, practising seemingly unrelated skills may actually benefit learning of other skills.But why does variability impact learning and generalisation? One theory is that more variable input can highlight which aspects of a task are relevant and which are not.Another theory is that greater variability leads to broader generalisations. This is because variability will represent the real world better, including atypical (非典型的) examples.A third reason has to do with the way memory works: when training is variable, learners are forced to actively reconstruct their memories.“Understanding the impact of variability is important for literally every aspect of our daily life. Beyond affecting the way we learn language, motor skills, and categories, it even has an impact on our social lives,”explains Raviv. “For example, face recognition is affected by whether people grew up in a small community or in a larger community. Exposure to fewer faces during childhood is associated with diminished face memory.”“We hope this work will spark people’ s curiosity and generate morework on the topic,” concludes Raviv.“Our paper raises a lot of open questions. Can we find similar effects of variability beyond the brain, for instance, in the immune system?”51. What does the passage say about infants learning the category “dog”if they are exposed to Chihuahuas only?A) They will encounter some degree of difficulty.B) They will try to categorise other objects first.C) They will prefer Chihuahuas to other dog species.D) They will imagine Chihuahuas in various conditions.52. What does Raviv say about the four different kinds of variability?A) Which of them is most relevant to the task at hand is to be confirmed.B) Why they have an impact on learning is far from being understood.C) Why they have never been directly compared remains a mystery.D) Which of them is most conducive to learning is yet to be identified.53. How does one of the theories explain the importance of variability for learning new skills?A) Learners regard variable training as typical of what happens in the real world.B) Learners receiving variable training are compelled to reorganise their memories.C) Learners pay attention to the relevant aspects of a task and ignore those irrelevant.D) Learners focus on related skills instead of wasting time and effort on unrelated ones.54. What does the passage say about face recognition?A) People growing up in a small community may find it easy to remember familiar faces.B) Face recognition has a significant impact on literally every aspect of our social lives.C) People growing up in a large community can readily recognise any individual faces.D) The size of the community people grow up in impacts their face recognition ability.55. What does Raviv hope to do with their research work?A) Highlight which aspects of a task are relevant and which are not to learning a skill.B) Use the principle of variability in teaching seemingly unrelated skills in education.C) Arouse people’s interest in variability and stimulate more research on the topic.D) Apply the principle of variability to such fields of study as the immune system.。

The man in focus is Norman Borlaug, the Father of the 'Green Revolution', who died on September 12, 2021 at age 95. Norman Borlaug spent most of his 60 working years in the farmlands of Mexico, South Asia and later in Africa, fighting world hunger, and saving by some estimates up to a billion lives in the process. An achievement, fit for a Nobel Peace Prize.Early Years"I'm a product of the great depression" is how Borlaug described himself. A great-grandson of Norwegian immigrants to the United States, Borlaug was born in 1914 and grew up on a small farm in the northeastern corner of Iowa in a town called Cresco. His family had a 40-hectare (公顷) farm on which they grew wheat, maize (玉米) and hay and raised pigs and cattle. Norman spent most of his time from age 7-17 on the farm, even as he attended a one-room, one-teacher school at New Oregon in Howard County.Borlaug didn't have money to go to college. But through a Great Depression era programme, known as the National Youth Administration, Borlaug was able to enroll in the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis to study forestry. He excelled instudies and received his Ph.D. in plant pathology (病理学) and genetics in 1942. From 1942 to 1944, Borlaug was employed as a microbiologist at DuPont in Wilmington. However, following the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, Borlaug tried to join the military, but was rejected under wartime In MexicoIn 1944, many experts warned of mass starvation in developing nations where populations were expanding faster than crop production. Borlaug began work at a Rockefeller Foundation-funded project in Mexico to increase wheat production by developing higher-yielding varieties of the crop. It involved research in genetics, plant breeding, plant pathology, entomology (昆虫学) , agronomy (农艺学) , soil science, and cereal technology. The goal of the project was to boost wheat production in Mexico, which at the time was importing a large portion of its grain.Borlaug said that his first couple of years in Mexico were difficult. He lacked trained scientists and equipment. Native farmers were hostile towards the wheat programme because of serious crop losses from 1939 to 1941 due to stem rust.Wheat varieties that Borlaug worked with had tall, thin stalks. While taller wheat competed better for sunlight, theyhad a tendency to collapse under the weight of extra grain - a trait called lodging. To overcome this, Borlaug worked on breeding wheat with shorter and stronger stalks, which could hold on larger seed heads. Borlaug's new semi-dwarf, disease-resistant varieties, called Pitic 62 and Penjamo 62, changed the potential yield of Mexican wheat dramatically. By 1963 wheat production in Mexico stood six times more than that of 1944.Green Revolution in IndiaDuring the 1960s, South Asia experienced severe drought condition and India had been importing wheat on a large scale from the United States. Borlaug came to India in 1963 along with Dr. Robert Anderson to duplicate his Mexican success in the sub-continent. The experiments began with planting a few of the high-yielding variety strains in the fields of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute at Pusa in New Delhi, under the supervision of Dr. M. S. Swaminathan. These strains were subsequently planted in test plots at Ludhiana, Pantnagar, Kanpur, Pune and Indore. The results were promising, but large-scale success, however, was not instant. Cultural opposition to new agricultural techniques initially prevented Borlaug from going ahead with planting of new wheat strains inIndia. By 1965, when the drought situation turned alarming, the Government took the lead and allowed wheat revolution to move forward. By employing agricultural techniques he developed in Mexico, Borlaug was able to nearly double South Asian wheat harvests between 1965 and 1970.India subsequently made a huge commitment to Mexican wheat, importing some 18000 tonnes of seed. By 1968, it was clear that the Indian wheat harvest was nothing short of revolutionary. It was so productive that there was a shortage of labour to harvest it, of bull carts to haul it to the threshing floor (打谷场) , of jute (麻黄) bags to store it. Local governments in some areas were forced to shut down schools temporarily to use them as store houses.United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) observed that in 40 years between 1961 and 2001, "India more than doubled its population, from 452 million to more than 1 billion. At the same time, it nearly tripled its grain production from 87 million tonnes to 231 million tonnes. It accomplished this feat while increasing cultivated grain acreage (土地面积) a mere 8 percent."It was in India that Norman Borlaug's work was described as the 'Green Revolution.'In AfricaAfrica suffered widespread hunger and starvation through the 70s and 80s. Food and aid poured in from most developed countries into the continent, but thanks to the absence of efficient distribution system, the hungry remained empty-stomach. The then Chairman of the Nippon Foundation, Ryoichi Sasakawa wondered why the methods used in Mexico and India were not extended to Africa. He called up Norman Borlaug. now leading a semi-retired life, for help. He managed to convince Borlaug to help with his new effort and subsequently founded the Sasakawa Africa Association. Borlaug later recalled, "but after I saw the terrible circumstances there, I said, 'Let's just start growing'".The success in Africa was not as spectacular as it was in India or Mexico. Those elements that allowed Borlaug's projects to succeed, such as well-organized economies and transportation and irrigation systems, were severely lacking throughout Africa. Because of this, Borlaug's initial projects were restricted to developed regions of the continent. Nevertheless, yields of maize, sorghum (高粱) and wheat doubled between 1983 and 1985.Nobel PrizeFor his contributions to the world food supply, Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. Norwegian officials notified his wife in Mexico City at 4:00 a. m., but Borlaug had already left for the test fields in the Toluca valley, about 65 km west of Mexico City. A chauffeur (司机) took her to the fields to inform her husband. In his acceptance speech, Borlaug said, "the first essential component of social justice is adequate food for all mankind. Food is the moral right of all who are born into this world. Yet, 50 percent of the world population goes hungry."Green Revolution vs Environmentalists注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

19年6月英语四级第三套卷作文In recent years, the issue of plastic pollution has attracted increasing attention worldwide. Plastic, once hailed as a revolutionary material, has now become a major environmental concern. This essay aims to explore the causes and consequences of plastic pollution, as well as propose possible solutions to tackle this global problem.Firstly, the rampant use of single-use plastics is a significant cause of plastic pollution. Items such as plastic bags, straws, and water bottles are used for a short period of time before being discarded. These plastics often end up in landfills or find their way into rivers and oceans, where they take hundreds of years to decompose. The production and disposal of single-use plastics contribute to the accumulation of plastic waste in the environment.Another cause of plastic pollution is poor waste management systems. In many countries, especially developing ones, the infrastructure for waste collection and recycling is inadequate. As a result, plastic waste is often improperly disposed of, leading to its leakage into the environment. In addition, improper disposal practices, such as littering, exacerbate the problem by directly introducing plastic waste into natural ecosystems.The consequences of plastic pollution are far-reaching and detrimental to both the environment and human health. Plastic waste poses a significant threat to marine life, with millions of marine animals dying each year due to ingestion or entanglement in plastic debris. Furthermore, microplastics, tiny plastic particles that result from the breakdown of larger plastic items, have been found in various marine species, including fish and shellfish. These microplastics can then enter the human food chain, potentially causing harmful health effects.To address the issue of plastic pollution, various solutions can be implemented. Firstly, reducing the production and consumption of single-use plastics is crucial. Governments and businesses should promote the use of alternative materials andencourage the adoption of reusable products. Additionally, implementing policies such as plastic bag bans or levying taxes on single-use plastics can effectively reduce their usage.Improving waste management systems is also essential in combating plastic pollution. Governments should invest in the development of recycling infrastructure and promote recycling education among the public. Furthermore, raising awareness about the importance of proper waste disposal and encouraging individuals to reduce, reuse, and recycle can significantly contribute to reducing plastic pollution.In conclusion, plastic pollution is a pressing global issue that requires immediate attention. The causes of plastic pollution include the rampant use of single-use plastics and poor waste management systems. The consequences of plastic pollution are detrimental to the environment and human health. To tackle this problem, reducing the production and consumption of single-use plastics, improving waste management systems, and raising awareness among individuals are crucial steps that need to be taken. Only through collective efforts can we effectively combat plastic pollution and protect our planet for future generations.。
