2018年考研英语二大作文范文English:In 2018, the topic for the second part of the English exam focused on the issue of commercialization in sports. Commercialization has become a prominent feature of modern sports, with athletes often becoming commercial icons and sporting events increasingly driven by profit-making motives. On one hand, commercialization has brought financial rewards for athletes and increased the popularityof sports worldwide. On the other hand, it has also led to ethical dilemmas, such as doping scandals and the prioritization of profit over fair competition. In order to strike a balance between commercial interests and sports integrity, it is essential for sports organizations to implement stricter regulations and codes of conduct. Athletes should also be encouraged to maintain sporting values and ethics, rather than solely focusing on financial gains. Ultimately, the goal should be to promote a healthy, fair, and sustainable sports industry that benefits both athletes and fans.中文翻译:2018年考研英语二大作文的题目集中在体育商业化问题上。

【第⼀篇】 The past several years have witnessed a phenomenon that a variety of promises have been arising from all walks of life. Regretfully, quite a lot of promises are sheer nonsense, just as the hen in the given cartoon commits herself to lay eggs which are round without any angles and corners and have shells, egg whites and yolks. Odd and funny as they sound, such false promises can be seen and heard everywhere in our country. Administration departments assure to perform their tasks effectively and fairly without taking any bribes; manufacturing units guarantee to turn out products of good quality; commercial enterprises swear to provide genuine commodities and polite and enthusiastic services. Can you find anything new and substantial other than their obligations, duties and jobs in these so called promises? I guess your answer will be negative. As a matter of fact, their intention to make such commitments is nothing but to put on civilized outer clothing to please or deceive the public. I dare say that our society is suffering corruption and cheat which are causing damage to society both materially and morally. But the hen and her like should know that by dishonest words no one can survive the intense competition under market economy system. They should remember the old saying, “Honesty is the best policy”.【第⼆篇】 As is vividly/symbolically shown/described/depicted/illustrated/revealed/portrayed in thecartoons/drawings/portrayals/photos/photographs/pictures, with the rapid/speedy social and economic development, the number of fishes has sharply decreased. In one picture, there were various kinds of fish and only one fishing-boat in 1900. On the contrary, in 1995 there was only one fish, but many fishing-boats. The purpose of this picture/cartoonist is to show us that due attention has to be paid to the decline of ocean resources. Owing/Due to over-fishing, the number of fishes has obviously shrunk. If we let this situation go/continue as it is, we do not know where fish will be in the near/forthcoming future. By that time, our environment will suffer a great destruction. Therefore/Hence/Accordingly, it is imperative/necessary for us to take drastic/effective/some measures/steps/actions. For one thing, we should appeal to our governments/authorities to make/legislate/enact/issue strict laws and regulations to control/regulate commercial fishing. For another, we should enhance/cultivate/increase the awareness/sense of people that the ocean resources are significant/vital/essential/crucial to us. Only in this way/by doing so can we protect our ocean resources. Also, I assume/maintain/reckon that we humans can overcome/surmount this difficulty, and we will have a brighter/more brilliant future.【第三篇】 As is shown in the picture, on arriving at the finishing line of a race on the playground, the lovely young man has to continue his new journey in no time instead of stopping to take a rest. He has successfully settled the puzzle of “stopping or going on” which might have confused many others. With the increasing pace of modern life, perhaps no change has characterized the past decade more dramatically than that of people's view on their own life. It is generally agreed upon that people have to adjust themselves to this new change. On the one hand, no doubt, people will gain a lot by setting new goals in their daily life. Take the famous scientist Thomas Edison for example. He had done very well in his early life, but continued to pursue something more difficult all through his life. On the other hand, if one is obsessed with the success he has achieved, he would lose the chance to pursue new success. What is more, he may become the slave of his success. There are many cases showing that people lose their courage to better themselves after becoming successful. To sum up, one's view on his success determines his future. In my opinion, it is necessary to carry out a nation-wide campaign publicizing people who have a burning desire for more and ever greater achievement when they are already well-known. So that people in the society will develop a forward-looking attitude and make their life worth living and the world more beautiful as well.【第四篇】 As we can see from the picture, a football match is going on. On guarding the goal, the man on the left seems to be keeping a “huge goal” that is easy and inevitable for a goal, while the person on the right hesitates to kick the ball with an illusion about the “huge keeper”. It is obvious that both of them exaggerate the difficulties in front of them. This picture does reflect a thought-provoking social phenomenon which is not uncommon in China now. The youngalways give up because the problem is beyond their ability to cope with. Superficially, it seems to be somewhat reasonable, but when weighing in the mind, we find there is an apparent tendency underlying this phenomenon: the lack of confidence. Firstly, it is well-known that we exist in a dynamic world with various difficulties. We can do nothing but face them. Secondly, attitude is the key point to take the first step. Assuming bravery and confidence to solve the problem, you will find the question is not as “huge” as you imagine. Take us for example, the entrance exam for graduate students even seems to be a horrible monster before us. Some people give up, some persist. So, with confidence and the right assessment of the difficulties, try and exert your strength, and then we will overcome all problems. On the whole, I believe we young people should face the difficulties in right manner. And nothing is impossible, just do it.【第五篇】 As is vividly depicted in the picture, two disabled men are running fast through teamwork although each of them has only one leg. Obviously, it is teamwork that makes it possible for them to go anywhere they want to. Simple as it is, what the picture conveys to us is thought-provoking. With the development of economy and society, competition is increasingly fierce. It is impossible for anyone to finish a work all by himself. Hence, people in mounting numbers put great emphasis on teamwork. In fact, it has been universally acknowledged that the ability of teamwork is the most essential qualification that anyone who wants to achieve success should possess. Accordingly, it is imperative for us to take some measures to enhance the sense of teamwork in our society. We should bear in mind that teamwork is of great significance to both our society and ourselves. Every one should have the ability of teamwork. Only in this way can we achieve success and only in this way can our society become more harmonious to live in.【第六篇】 As is illustrated in the cartoon, each person sits in their own work room. In front of them is a computer. Everyone looks at the screen carefully, and communicate with their colleagues through the net instead of talking face to face. Their work places are placed like a net. And below the cartoon, there is a topic which says: the near and far among the Internet. From the cartoon, we can conclude that the cartoonist wants to convey such a message: with the popularity of computers, people from all over the world become nearer by using the Internet to communicate with each other. Meanwhile, people also become far away from their friends. All of us accept the fact that the development of the internet brings lots of conveniences to our daily life, for instance, we can buy a book on the net instead of going to a booksto r e .

On the one hand, it's a necessarycondition 1 many worthwhile things: child care, friendships, etc. On theother hand, putting your 2, in the wrong place often carries a high 3.4, why do we trust at all?

(40 points)Text 1Among the annoying challenges facing the middle class is one that will probably go unmentioned in the next presidential campaign: What happens when the robots come for their jobs?Don't dismiss that possibility entirely. About half of U.S. jobs are at high risk of being automated, according to a University of Oxford study, with the middle class disproportionately squeezed. Lower-income jobslike gardening or day care don't appeal to robots. But many middle-class occupations-trucking, financial advice, software engineering — havearoused their interest, or soon will. The rich own the robots, so theywill be fine.This isn't to be alarmist. Optimists point out that technologicalupheaval has benefited workers in the past. The Industrial Revolutiondidn't go so well for Luddites whose jobs were displaced by mechanizedlooms, but it eventually raised living standards and created more jobsthan it destroyed. Likewise, automation should eventually boostproductivity, stimulate demand by driving down prices, and free workersfrom hard, boring work. But in the medium term, middle-class workers mayneed a lot of help adjusting.The first step, as Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee argue in TheSecond Machine Age, should be rethinking education and job training.Curriculums —from grammar school to college- should evolve to focus lesson memorizing facts and more on creativity and complex communication. Vocational schools should do a better job of fostering problem-solving skills and helping students work alongside robots. Online education can supplement the traditional kind. It could make extra training and instruction affordable. Professionals trying to acquire new skills will be able to do so without going into debt.The challenge of coping with automation underlines the need for the U.S. to revive its fading business dynamism: Starting new companies mustbe made easier. In previous eras of drastic technological change, entrepreneurs smoothed the transition by dreaming up ways to combine labor and machines. The best uses of 3D printers and virtual reality haven't been invented yet. The U.S. needs the new companies that will invent them.Finally, because automation threatens to widen the gap between capital income and labor income, taxes and the safety net will have tobe rethought. Taxes on low-wage labor need to be cut, and wage subsidies such as the earned income tax credit should be expanded: This would boostincomes, encourage work, reward companies for job creation, and reduceinequality.Technology will improve society in ways big and small over the nextfew years, yet this will be little comfort to those who find their livesand careers upended by automation. Destroying the machines that arecoming for our jobs would be nuts. But policies to help workers adaptwill be indispensable.21.Who will be most threatened by automation?[A] Leading politicians.[B]Low-wage laborers.[C]Robot owners.[D]Middle-class workers.22 .Which of the following best represent the author’s view?[A] Worries about automation are in fact groundless.[B]Optimists' opinions on new tech find little support.[C]Issues arising from automation need to be tackled[D]Negative consequences of new tech can be avoidedcation in the age of automation should put more emphasis on[A] creative potential.[B]job-hunting skills.[C]individual needs.[D]cooperative spirit.24.The author suggests that tax policies be aimed at[A] encouraging the development of automation.[B]increasing the return on capital investment.[C]easing the hostility between rich and poor.[D]preventing the income gap from widening.25.In this text, the author presents a problem with[A] opposing views on it.[B]possible solutions to it.[C]its alarming impacts.[D]its major variations.Text 2A new survey by Harvard University finds more than two-thirds of young Americans disapprove of President Trump’s use of Twitter. The implication is that Millennials prefer news from the White House to be fi ltered through other source, Not a president’s social media platform.Most Americans rely on social media to check daily headlines. Yet as distrust has risen toward all media, people may be starting to beef up their media literacy skills. Such a trend is badly needed. During the 2016 presidential campaign, nearly a quarter of web content shared by Twitter users in the politically critical state of Michigan was fake news, according to the University of Oxford. And a survey conducted for BuzzFeed News found 44 percent of Facebook users rarely or never trust news from the media giant.Young people who are digital natives are indeed becoming more skillful at separating fact from fiction in cyberspace. A KnightFoundation focus-group survey of young people between ages 14and24 found they use “distributed trust” to verify stories. They c ross-check sources and prefer news from different perspectives—especially those that are open about any bias. “Many young people assume a great deal of personal responsibility for educating themselves and actively seeking out opposing viewpoints,” the surv ey concluded.Such active research can have another effect. A 2014 survey conductedin Australia, Britain, and the United States by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that young people’s reliance on social medialed to greater political engagement.Social media allows users to experience news events more intimatelyand immediately while also permitting them to re-share news as aprojection of their values and interests. This forces users to be moreconscious of their role in passing along information. A survey by Barnaresearch group found the top reason given by Americans for the fake newsphenomenon is “reader error,” more so than made-up stories or factualmistakes in reporting. About a third say the problem of fake news liesin “misinterpretation or exaggeration of actual news” via social media. In other words, the choice to share news on social media may be the heart of the issue. “This indicates there is a real personal responsibility in counteracting this problem,” says Roxanne Stone, editor in chief at Barna Group.So when young people are critical of an over-tweeting president, they reveal a mental discipline in thinking skills – and in their choices on when to share on social media.26. According to the Paragraphs 1 and 2, many young Americans castdoubts on[A] the justification of the news-filtering practice.[B] people’s preference for social media platforms.[C] the administrations ability to handle information.[D] social media was a reliable source of news.27. The phrase “beer up”(Line 2, Para. 2) is closest in meaning to[A] sharpen[B] define[C] boast[D] share28. According to the knight foundation survey, young people[A] tend to voice their opinions in cyberspace.[B] verify news by referring to diverse resources.[C] have s strong sense of responsibility.[D] like to exchange views on “distributed trust”29. The Barna survey found that a main cause for the fake news problem is[A] readers outdated values.[B] journalists’ biased reporting[C] readers’ misinterpreta tion[D] journalists’ made-up stories.30. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A] A Rise in Critical Skills for Sharing News Online[B] A Counteraction Against the Over-tweeting Trend[C] The Accumulation of Mutual Trust on Social Media.[D] The Platforms for Projection of Personal Interests.Text 3Any fair-minded assessment of the dangers of the deal between Britain's National Health Service (NHS) and DeepMind must start byacknowledging that both sides mean well. DeepMind is one of the leading artificial intelligence (AI) companies in the world. The potential of this work applied to healthcare is very great, but it could also lead to further concentration of power in the tech giants. It Is against that background that the information commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, has issued her damning verdict against the Royal Free hospital trust under the NHS, which handed over to DeepMind the records of 1.6 million patients In 2015 on the basis of a vague agreement which took far too little account of the patients' rights and their expectations of privacy.DeepMind has almost apologized. The NHS trust has mended its ways. Further arrangements- and there may be many-between the NHS and DeepMind will be carefully scrutinised to ensure that all necessary permissions have been asked of patients and all unnecessary data has been cleaned. There are lessons about informed patient consent to learn. But privacy is not the only angle in this case and not even the most important. Ms Denham chose to concentrate the blame on the NHS trust, since under existing law it “controlled” the data and DeepMind merely “processed" it. But this distinction misses the point that it is processing and aggregation, not the mere possession of bits, that gives the data value.The great question is who should benefit from the analysis of all the data that our lives now generate. Privacy law builds on the concept of damage to an individual from identifiable knowledge about them. That misses the way the surveillance economy works. The data of an individual there gains its value only when it is compared with the data of countless millions more.The use of privacy law to curb the tech giants in this instance feels slightly maladapted. This practice does not address the real worry. It is not enough to say that the algorithms DeepMind develops will benefit patients and save lives. What matters is that they will belong to a private monopoly which developed them using public resources. If softwarepromises to save lives on the scale that dugs now can, big data may be expected to behave as a big pharm has done. We are still at the beginning of this revolution and small choices now may turn out to have gigantic consequences later. A long struggle will be needed to avoid a future of digital feudalism. Ms Denham's report is a welcome start.31.Wha is true of the agreement between the NHS and DeepMind ?[A] It caused conflicts among tech giants.[B] It failed to pay due attention to patient’s rights.[C] It fell short of the latter's expectations[D] It put both sides into a dangerous situation.32. The NHS trust responded to Denham's verdict with[A] empty promises.[B] tough resistance.[C] necessary adjustments.[D] sincere apologies.33.The author argues in Paragraph 2 that[A] privacy protection must be secured at all costs.[B] leaking patients' data is worse than selling it.[C] making profits from patients' data is illegal.[D] the value of data comes from the processing of it34.According to the last paragraph, the real worry arising from this deal is[A] the vicious rivalry among big pharmas.[B] the ineffective enforcement of privacy law.[C] the uncontrolled use of new software.[D] the monopoly of big data by tech giants.35.The author's attitude toward the application of AI to healthcare is[A] ambiguous.[B] cautious.[C] appreciative.[D] contemptuous.Text 4The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) continues to bleed red ink. It reporteda net loss of $5.6 billion for fiscal 2016, the 10th straight year its expenses have exceeded revenue. Meanwhile, it has more than $120 billion in unfunded liabilities, mostly for employee health and retirement costs. There are many bankruptcies. Fundamentally, the USPS is in a historic squeeze between technological change that has permanently decreased demand for its bread-and-butter product, first-class mail, and a regulatory structure that denies management the flexibility to adjust its operations to the new realityAnd interest groups ranging from postal unions to greeting-cardmakers exert self-interested pressure on the USPS’s ultimateoverseer-Congress-insisting that whatever else happens to the PostalService, aspects of the status quo they depend on get protected. This is why repeated attempts at reform legislation have failed in recent years,leaving the Postal Service unable to pay its bills except by deferring vital modernization.Now comes word that everyone involved---Democrats, Republicans, the Postal Service, the unions and the system's heaviest users—has finally agreed on a plan to fix the system. Legislation is moving through the House that would save USPS an estimated $28.6 billion over five years, which could help pay for new vehicles, among other survival measures. Most of the money would come from a penny-per-letter permanent rate increase and from shifting postal retirees into Medicare. The latter stepwould largely offset the financial burden of annually pre-funding retiree health care, thus addressing a long-standing complaint by the USPS and its union.If it clears the House, this measure would still have to get through the Senate – where someone is bound to point out that it amounts to the bare, bare minimum necessary to keep the Postal Service afloat, not comprehensive reform. There’s no change to collective bargaining at theUSPS, a major omission considering that personnel accounts for 80 percent of the agency’s costs. Also missing is any discussion of eliminatingSaturday letter delivery. That common-sense change enjoys wide publicsupport and would save the USPS $2 billion per year. But postalspecial-interest groups seem to have killed it, at least in the House. The emerging consensus around the bill is a sign that legislators are getting frightened about a politically embarrassing short-term collapse at the USPS. It is not, however, a sign that they’re getting serious about transforming the postal system for the 21st century.36.The financial problem with the USPS is caused partly by[A]. its unbalanced budget.[B] .its rigid management.[C] .the cost for technical upgrading.[D]. the withdrawal of bank support.37. According to Paragraph 2, the USPS fails to modernize itself dueto[A]. the interference from interest groups.[B] .the inadequate funding from Congress.[C] .the shrinking demand for postal service.[D] .the incompetence of postal unions.38.The long-standing complaint by the USPS and its unions can beaddressed by[A] .removing its burden of retiree health care.[B] .making more investment in new vehicles.[C] .adopting a new rate-increase mechanism.[D]. attracting more first-class mail users.39.In the last paragraph, the author seems to view legislators with[A] respect.[B] tolerance.[C] discontent.[D] gratitude.40.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A] .The USPS Starts to Miss Its Good Old Days[B] .The Postal Service: Keep Away from My Cheese[C] .The USPS: Chronic Illness Requires a Quick Cure[D] .The Postal Service Needs More than a Band-AidPart BDirections:The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order.

In December of 1869, Congress appointed a commission to select a site and prepare plans and cost estimates for a new State DepartmentBuilding. The commission was also to consider possible arrangements for the War and Navy Departments. To the horror of some who expected a GreekRevival twin of the Treasury Building to be erected on the other sideof the White House, the elaborate French Second Empire style design byAlfred Mullett was selected, and construction of a building to house all three departments began in June of 1871.B. Completed in 1875, the State Department's south wing was the first to be occupied, with its elegant four-story library (completed in 1876), Diplomatic Reception Room, and Secretary's office decorated with carved wood, Oriental rugs, and stenciled wall patterns. The Navy Department moved into the east wing in 1879, where elaborate wall and ceilingstenciling and marquetry floors decorated the office of the Secretary.C. The State, War, and Navy Building, as it was originally known,housed the three Executive Branch Departments most intimately associatedwith formulating and conducting the nation's foreign policy in the lastquarter of the nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentiethcentury-the period when the United States emerged as an internationalpower. The building has housed some of the nation's most significantdiplomats and politicians and has been the scene of many historic events.D. Many of the most celebrated national figures have participatedin historical events that have taken place within the EEOB's granite walls.Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald Ford, and George H. W. Bush all had offices in this building before becoming president. It has housed 16 Secretaries of the Navy, 21 Secretaries of War, and 24 Secretaries of State. Winston Churchill once walked its corridors and Japanese emissaries met here with Secretary of State Cordell Hull after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.E. The Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) commands a uniqueposition in both the national history and the architectural heritage ofthe United States. Designed by Supervising Architect of the Treasury,Alfred B. Mullett, it was built from 1871 to 1888 to house the growingstaffs of the State, War, and Navy Departments, and is considered one of the best examples of French Second Empire architecture in the country.F. Construction took 17 years as the building slowly rose wing bywing. When the EEOB was finished, it was the largest office building inWashington, with nearly 2 miles of black and white tiled corridors. Almostall of the interior detail is of cast iron or plaster; the use of woodwas minimized to insure fire safety. Eight monumental curving staircasesof granite with over 4,000 individually cast bronze balusters are cappedby four skylight domes and two stained glass rotundas.G. The history of the EEOB began long before its foundations were laid. The first executive offices were constructed between 1799 and 1820.A series of fires (including those set by the British in 1814) andovercrowded conditions led to the construction of the existing TreasuryBuilding. In 1866, the construction of the North Wing of the Treasury Building necessitated the demolition of the State Department building.41. à Cà42. à 43. à F à 44 à 45.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.

By the date of hisbirth Europe was witnessing the passing of the religious drama, and thecreation of new forms under the incentive of classical tragedy and comedy.These new forms were at first mainly written by scholars and performedby amateurs, but in England, as everywhere else in western Europe, thegrowth of a class of professional actors was threatening to make the dramapopular, whether it should be new or old, classical or medieval, literaryor farcical. Court, school organizations of amateurs, and the traveling actors were all rivals in supplying a widespread desire for dramatic entertainment; and (47) no boy who went a grammar school could be ignorant that the drama was a form of literature which gave glory to Greece and Rome and might yet bring honor to England.When Shakespeare was twelve years old, the first public playhouse was built in London. For a time literature showed no interest in thispublic stage. Plays aiming at literary distinction were written for school or court, or for the choir boys of St. Paul’s and the royal chapel,who, however, gave plays in public as well as at court.(48)but theprofessional companies prospered in their permanent theaters, anduniversity men with literature ambitions were quick to turn to these theaters as offering a means of livelihood. By the time Shakespeare was twenty-five, Lyly, Peele, and Greene had made comedies that were at once popular and literary; Kyd had written a tragedy that crowded the pit; and Marlowe had brought poetry and genius to triumph on the common stage - where they had played no part since the death of Euripides.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1Among the annoying challenges facing the middle class is one that will probably go unmentioned in the next presidential campaign: What happens when the robots come for their jobs?Don't dismiss that possibility entirely. About half of U.S. jobs are at high risk of being automated, according to a University of Oxford study, with the middle class disproportionately squeezed. Lower-income jobs like gardening or day care don't appeal to robots. But many middle-class occupations-trucking, financial advice, software engineering — have aroused their interest, or soon will. The rich own the robots, so they will be fine.This isn't to be alarmist. Optimists point out that technological upheaval has benefited workers in the past. The Industrial Revolution didn't go so well for Luddites whose jobs were displaced by mechanized looms, but it eventually raised living standards and created more jobs than it destroyed. Likewise, automation should eventually boost productivity, stimulate demand by driving down prices, and free workers from hard, boring work. But in the medium term, middle-class workers may need a lot of help adjusting.The first step, as Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee argue in The Second Machine Age, should be rethinking education and job training. Curriculums —from grammar school to college- should evolve to focus less on memorizing facts and more on creativity and complex communication. Vocational schools should do a better job of fostering problem-solving skills and helping students work alongside robots. Online education can supplement the traditional kind. It could make extra training and instruction affordable. Professionals trying to acquire new skills will be able to do so without going into debt.The challenge of coping with automation underlines the need for the U.S. to revive its fading business dynamism: Starting new companies must be made easier. In previous eras of drastic technological change, entrepreneurs smoothed the transition by dreaming up ways to combine labor and machines. The best uses of 3D printers and virtual reality haven't been invented yet. The U.S. needs the new companies that will invent them.Finally, because automation threatens to widen the gap between capital income and labor income, taxes and the safety net will have to be rethought. Taxes onlow-wage labor need to be cut, and wage subsidies such as the earned income tax credit should be expanded: This would boost incomes, encourage work, reward companies for job creation, and reduce inequality.Technology will improve society in ways big and small over the next few years, yet this will be little comfort to those who find their lives and careers upended by automation. Destroying the machines that are coming for our jobs would be nuts. But policies to help workers adapt will be indispensable.21.Who will be most threatened by automation?[A] Leading politicians.[B]Low-wage laborers.[C]Robot owners.[D]Middle-class workers.22 .Which of the following best represent the author’s view?[A] Worries about automation are in fact groundless.[B]Optimists' opinions on new tech find little support.[C]Issues arising from automation need to be tackled[D]Negative consequences of new tech can be avoidedcation in the age of automation should put more emphasis on[A] creative potential.[B]job-hunting skills.[C]individual needs.[D]cooperative spirit.24.The author suggests that tax policies be aimed at[A] encouraging the development of automation.[B]increasing the return on capital investment.[C]easing the hostility between rich and poor.[D]preventing the income gap from widening.25.In this text, the author presents a problem with[A] opposing views on it.[B]possible solutions to it.[C]its alarming impacts.[D]its major variations.Text 2A new survey by Harvard University finds more than two-thirds of young Americans disapprove of President Trump’s use of Twitter. The implication is that Millennials prefer news from the White House to be filtered through other source, Not a president’s social media platform.Most Americans rely on social media to check daily headlines. Yet as distrust has risen toward all media, people may be starting to beef up their media literacy skills. Such a trend is badly needed. During the 2016 presidential campaign, nearly a quarter of web content shared by Twitter users in the politically critical state of Michigan was fake news, according to the University of Oxford. And a survey conducted for BuzzFeed News found 44 percent of Facebook users rarely or never trust news from the media giant.Young people who are digital natives are indeed becoming more skillful at separating fact from fiction in cyberspace. A Knight Foundation focus-group survey of young people between ages 14and24 found they use “distributed trust” to verifystories. They cross-check sources and prefer news from different perspectives—especially those that are open about any bias. “Many young people assume a great deal of personal responsibility for educating themselves and actively seeking out opposing viewpoints,” the survey concluded.Such active research can have another effect. A 2014 survey conducted in Australia, Britain, and the United States by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that young people’s reliance on social media led to greater political engagement.Social media allows users to experience news events more intimately and immediately while also permitting them to re-share news as a projection of their values and interests. This forces users to be more conscious of their role in passing along information. A survey by Barna research group found the top reason given by Americans for the fake news phenomenon is “reader error,” more so than made-up stories or factual mistakes in reporting. About a third say the problem of fake news lies in “misinterpretation or exaggeration of actual news” via social media. In other words, the choice to share news on social media may be the heart of the issue. “This indicates there is a real personal responsibility in counteracting this problem,” says Roxanne Stone, editor in chief at Barna Group.So when young people are critical of an over-tweeting president, they reveal a mental discipline in thinking skills – and in their choices on when to share on social media.26. According to the Paragraphs 1 and 2, many young Americans cast doubts on[A] the justification of the news-filtering practice.[B] people’s preference for social media platforms.[C] the administrations ability to handle information.[D] social media was a reliable source of news.27. The phrase “beer up”(Line 2, Para. 2) is closest in meaning to[A] sharpen[B] define[C] boast[D] share28. According to the knight foundation survey, young people[A] tend to voice their opinions in cyberspace.[B] verify news by referring to diverse resources.[C] have s strong sense of responsibility.[D] like to exchange views on “distributed trust”29. The Barna survey found that a main cause for the fake news problem is[A] readers outdated values.[B] journalists’ biased reporting[C] readers’ misin terpretation[D] journalists’ made-up stories.30. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A] A Rise in Critical Skills for Sharing News Online[B] A Counteraction Against the Over-tweeting Trend[C] The Accumulation of Mutual Trust on Social Media.[D] The Platforms for Projection of Personal Interests.Text 3Any fair-minded assessment of the dangers of the deal between Britain's National Health Service (NHS) and DeepMind must start by acknowledging that both sides mean well. DeepMind is one of the leading artificial intelligence (AI) companies in the world. The potential of this work applied to healthcare is very great, but it could also lead to further concentration of power in the tech giants. It Is against that background that the information commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, has issued her damning verdict against the Royal Free hospital trust under the NHS, which handed over to DeepMind the records of 1.6 million patients In 2015 on the basis of a vague agreement which took far too little account of the patients' rights and their expectations of privacy.DeepMind has almost apologized. The NHS trust has mended its ways. Further arrangements- and there may be many-between the NHS and DeepMind will be carefully scrutinised to ensure that all necessary permissions have been asked of patients and all unnecessary data has been cleaned. There are lessons about informed patient consent to learn. But privacy is not the only angle in this case and not even the most important. Ms Denham chose to concentrate the blame on the NHS trust, since under existing law it “controlled” the data and DeepMind merely “processed" it. But this distinction misses the point that it is processing and aggregation, not the mere possession of bits, that gives the data value.The great question is who should benefit from the analysis of all the data that our lives now generate. Privacy law builds on the concept of damage to an individual from identifiable knowledge about them. That misses the way the surveillance economy works. The data of an individual there gains its value only when it is compared with the data of countless millions more.The use of privacy law to curb the tech giants in this instance feels slightly maladapted. This practice does not address the real worry. It is not enough to say that the algorithms DeepMind develops will benefit patients and save lives. What matters is that they will belong to a private monopoly which developed them using public resources. If software promises to save lives on the scale that dugs now can, big data may be expected to behave as a big pharm has done. We are still at the beginning of this revolution and small choices now may turn out to have gigantic consequences later. A long struggle will be needed to avoid a future of digital feudalism. Ms Denham's report is a welcome start.31.Wha is true of the agreement between the NHS and DeepMind ?[A] It caused conflicts among tech giants.[B] It failed to pay due attention to patient’s rights.[C] It fell short of the latter's expectations[D] It put both sides into a dangerous situation.32. The NHS trust responded to Denham's verdict with[A] empty promises.[B] tough resistance.[C] necessary adjustments.[D] sincere apologies.33.The author argues in Paragraph 2 that[A] privacy protection must be secured at all costs.[B] leaking patients' data is worse than selling it.[C] making profits from patients' data is illegal.[D] the value of data comes from the processing of it34.According to the last paragraph, the real worry arising from this deal is[A] the vicious rivalry among big pharmas.[B] the ineffective enforcement of privacy law.[C] the uncontrolled use of new software.[D] the monopoly of big data by tech giants.35.The author's attitude toward the application of AI to healthcare is[A] ambiguous.[B] cautious.[C] appreciative.[D] contemptuous.Text 4The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) continues to bleed red ink. It reported a net loss of $5.6 billion for fiscal 2016, the 10th straight year its expenses have exceeded revenue. Meanwhile, it has more than $120 billion in unfunded liabilities, mostly for employee health and retirement costs. There are many bankruptcies. Fundamentally, the USPS is in a historic squeeze between technological change that has permanently decreased demand for its bread-and-butter product, first-class mail, and a regulatory structure that denies management the flexibility to adjust its operations to the new realityAnd interest groups ranging from postal unions to greeting-card makers exert self-interested pressure on the USPS’s ultimate overseer-Congress-insisting that whatever else happens to the Postal Service, aspects of the status quo they depend on get protected. This is why repeated attempts at reform legislation have failed in recent years, leaving the Postal Service unable to pay its bills except by deferring vital modernization.Now comes word that everyone involved---Democrats, Republicans, the Postal Service, the unions and the system's heaviest users—has finally agreed on a plan to fix the system. Legislation is moving through the House that would save USPS an estimated $28.6 billion over five years, which could help pay for new vehicles, among other survival measures. Most of the money would come from a penny-per-letter permanent rate increase and from shifting postal retirees into Medicare. The latter step would largely offset the financial burden of annually pre-funding retiree health care, thus addressing a long-standing complaint by the USPS and its union.If it clears the House, this measure would still have to get through the Senate –where someone is bound to point out that it amounts to the bare, bare minimum necessary to keep the Postal Service afloat, not comprehensive reform. There’s no change to collective bargaining at the USPS, a major omission considering thatpersonnel accounts for 80 percent of the agency’s costs. Also missing is any discussion of eliminating Saturday letter delivery. That common-sense change enjoys wide public support and would save the USPS $2 billion per year. But postal special-interest groups seem to have killed it, at least in the House. The emerging consensus around the bill is a sign that legislators are getting frightened about a politically embarrassing short-term collapse at the USPS. It is not, however, a sign that they’re getting serious about transforming the postal system for the 21st century.36.The financial problem with the USPS is caused partly by[A]. its unbalanced budget.[B] .its rigid management.[C] .the cost for technical upgrading.[D]. the withdrawal of bank support.37. According to Paragraph 2, the USPS fails to modernize itself due to[A]. the interference from interest groups.[B] .the inadequate funding from Congress.[C] .the shrinking demand for postal service.[D] .the incompetence of postal unions.38.The long-standing complaint by the USPS and its unions can be addressed by[A] .removing its burden of retiree health care.[B] .making more investment in new vehicles.[C] .adopting a new rate-increase mechanism.[D]. attracting more first-class mail users.39.In the last paragraph, the author seems to view legislators with[A] respect.[B] tolerance.[C] discontent.[D] gratitude.40.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A] .The USPS Starts to Miss Its Good Old Days[B] .The Postal Service: Keep Away from My Cheese[C] .The USPS: Chronic Illness Requires a Quick Cure[D] .The Postal Service Needs More than a Band-AidPart BDirections:The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order. For Questions 41-45, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A-G and filling them into the numbered boxes. Paragraphs C and F have been correctly placed. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)A. In December of 1869, Congress appointed a commission to select a site and prepare plans and cost estimates for a new State Department Building. The commission was also to consider possible arrangements for the War and Navy Departments. To the horror of some who expected a Greek Revival twin of the Treasury Building to be erected on the other side of the White House, the elaborateFrench Second Empire style design by Alfred Mullett was selected, and construction of a building to house all three departments began in June of 1871.B. Completed in 1875, the State Department's south wing was the first to be occupied, with its elegant four-story library (completed in 1876), Diplomatic Reception Room, and Secretary's office decorated with carved wood, Oriental rugs, and stenciled wall patterns. The Navy Department moved into the east wing in 1879, where elaborate wall and ceiling stenciling and marquetry floors decorated the office of the Secretary.C. The State, War, and Navy Building, as it was originally known, housed the three Executive Branch Departments most intimately associated with formulating and conducting the nation's foreign policy in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century-the period when the United States emerged as an international power. The building has housed some of the nation's most significant diplomats and politicians and has been the scene of many historic events.D. Many of the most celebrated national figures have participated in historical events that have taken place within the EEOB's granite walls. Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald Ford, and George H. W. Bush all had offices in this building before becoming president. It has housed 16 Secretaries of the Navy, 21 Secretaries of War, and 24 Secretaries of State. Winston Churchill once walked its corridors and Japanese emissaries met here with Secretary of State Cordell Hull after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.E. The Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) commands a unique position in both the national history and the architectural heritage of the United States. Designed by Supervising Architect of the Treasury, Alfred B. Mullett, it was built from 1871 to 1888 to house the growing staffs of the State, War, and Navy Departments, and is considered one of the best examples of French Second Empire architecture in the country.F. Construction took 17 years as the building slowly rose wing by wing. When the EEOB was finished, it was the largest office building in Washington, with nearly 2 miles of black and white tiled corridors. Almost all of the interior detail is of cast iron or plaster; the use of wood was minimized to insure fire safety. Eight monumental curving staircases of granite with over 4,000 individually cast bronze balusters are capped by four skylight domes and two stained glass rotundas.G. The history of the EEOB began long before its foundations were laid. The first executive offices were constructed between 1799 and 1820. A series of fires (including those set by the British in 1814) and overcrowded conditions led to the construction of the existing Treasury Building. In 1866, the construction of the North Wing of the Treasury Building necessitated the demolition of the State Department building.41.—C—42.—43.—F—44.—45.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)Shakespeare’s life time was coincident with a period of extraordinary activity and achievement in the drama. (6)By the date of his birth Europe was witnessing the passing of the religious drama, and the creation of new forms under the incentive of classical tragedy and comedy. These new forms were at first mainly written by scholars and performed by amateurs, but in England, as everywhere else in western Europe, the growth of a class of professional actors was threatening to make the drama popular, whether it should be new or old, classical or medieval, literary or farcical. Court, school organizations of amateurs, and the traveling actors were all rivals in supplying a widespread desire for dramatic entertainment; and (47) no boy who went a grammar school could be ignorant that the drama was a form of literature which gave glory to Greece and Rome and might yet bring honor to England.When Shakespeare was twelve years old, the first public playhouse was built in London. For a time literature showed no interest in this public stage. Plays aiming at literary distinction were written for school or court, or for the choir boys of St. Paul’s and the royal chapel, who, however, gave plays in public as well as at court.(48)but the professional companies prospered in their permanent theaters, and university men with literature ambitions were quick to turn to these theaters as offering a means of livelihood. By the time Shakespeare was twenty-five, Lyly, Peele, and Greene had made comedies that were at once popular and literary; Kyd had written a tragedy that crowded the pit; and Marlowe had brought poetry and genius to triumph on the common stage - where they had played no part since the death of Euripides. (49)A native literary drama had been created, its alliance with the public playhouses established, and at least some of its great traditions had been begun.The development of the Elizabethan drama for the next twenty-five years is of exceptional interest to students of literary history, for in this brief period we may trace the beginning, growth, blossoming, and decay of many kinds of plays, and of many great careers. We are amazed today at the mere number of plays produced, as well as by the number of dramatists writing at the same time for this London of two hundred thousand inhabitants. (50) To realize how great was the dramatic activity, we must remember further that hosts of plays have been lost, and that probably there is no author of note whose entire work has survived.Section III WritingPart A51.

The Power of Perseverance in the Pursuit ofDreamsIn the journey of life, the pursuit of dreams is often fraught with challenges and setbacks. However, it is perseverance that separates the successful from the unsuccessful. This essay explores the significance of perseverance in the context of the 2018 postgraduate entrance examination, focusing on the essay topic "The Significance of Perseverance in the Process of Growth."Firstly, perseverance is the driving force that propels us forward in the face of difficulties. In the exam, students are tested not only on their knowledge but also on their determination and resilience. It is only through perseverance that they can overcome the obstacles and achieve their desired results. As the famous saying goes, "No pain, no gain." This adage encapsulates the essence of perseverance: without the willingness to persevere, there can be no success.Secondly, perseverance helps us learn from failures and improve ourselves. In the exam, students may encounter questions that they do not know how to answer or conceptsthat they have not mastered. However, instead of giving up, persevering students use these failures as opportunitiesfor growth. They reflect on their mistakes, seek help, and strive to improve their understanding and skills. This process of continuous improvement is integral to personal growth and development.Moreover, perseverance instills in us a sense of purpose and direction. In the exam, students often face pressure and uncertainty, wondering if they are on theright path or if their efforts are worth it. However, perseverance gives them a sense of purpose and direction, knowing that every effort they make is leading them closer to their dreams. This sense of purpose and direction not only helps them stay focused but also gives them the motivation to keep going even when faced with difficulties. In conclusion, perseverance is a crucial ingredient in the recipe for success. It is the driving force that propels us forward in the face of difficulties, helps us learn from failures, and instills in us a sense of purpose and direction. As students prepare for the 2018 postgraduate entrance examination, they must remember thatperseverance is not just about achieving high scores; it is about growing as individuals and moving closer to their dreams. As the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius once said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Let us take that step with perseverance and determination, and embark on the journey of achieving our dreams.**坚持梦想的力量**在人生的旅途中,追逐梦想的过程中往往充满了挑战和挫折。

想想现在考研作文的书漫天飞舞但是真正一些值得背的范文确实凤毛麟角,很多甚至把本身考试虽然得了高分但是存在很多问题的文章也作为范文,这个是很不负责任的。
为此,我抽出自己的休息时间,制作了这个《2009考研英语18年满分范文修订背诵版》。
考虑到大家都有作文的题目,这里我不再提供题目,也不给出翻译的中文,为大家省出打印的纸张,这样打印的时候可以少花一点钱。
这个《2009考研英语18年满分范文修订背诵版》大部分是在原来07十年真题必背范文的基础上修订而成。
去掉了原来的题目和翻译,增加了范文的年份,特别是加上07、08两年的范文。

The Power of Persistence in AchievingSuccessIn the journey of life, success is not always a matter of talent or intelligence, but rather a testament to the perseverance and determination of an individual. This was the central theme of the 2018 postgraduate entrance exam's English essay prompt, which asked candidates to discuss the significance of persistence in achieving their goals. In this article, we will explore the essence of persistence and how it can transform our lives, drawing inspiration from real-life examples and insights from experts in the field.Persistence is the steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. It is the driving force that keeps us going when faced with obstacles and setbacks. As the famous saying goes, "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success." This happy state of mind is often achieved through the consistent and determined effort of persistence.One of the most striking examples of persistence in achieving success is Thomas Edison's journey in inventingthe light bulb. He faced numerous failures and setbacks, but never gave up. Instead, he chose to learn from each failure and persevere until he finally succeeded. His famous quote, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work," embodies the essence of persistence. Similarly, the story of Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, is another testament to the power of persistence. Jordan was not always the star player he is today. He faced rejection and failure during his early years, but he chose to persevere and turn these failures into motivation. His relentless training and dedication to the game eventually led him to become one of the most successful athletes in history.These examples show us that success is not a matter of chance or luck, but rather a result of our own actions and efforts. Persistence is the key that unlocks the door to success. It is the driving force that helps us overcome obstacles and achieve our goals.However, persistence alone is not enough. It needs to be coupled with hard work, smart strategies, and learning from failure. As the saying goes, "Genius is one percentinspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." This means that while talent and intelligence play a role in success, it is the hard work and perseverance that truly make the difference.Moreover, persistence requires patience and a long-term view. We often get discouraged when we don't see immediate results, but true success often comes with time. We need to believe in ourselves and our abilities, and trust that with enough effort and time, we will achieve our desired goals. In conclusion, persistence is a critical component of success. It is the driving force that keeps us going when faced with difficulties and setbacks. By coupling persistence with hard work, smart strategies, and learning from failure, we can unlock the door to success and achieve our dreams. Let us remember that success is not a matter of chance or luck, but rather a result of our own actions and efforts. With persistence, there is no limit to what we can achieve.**坚持不懈的力量**在人生的旅途中,成功并不总是取决于天赋或智慧,而更多地是一个人对毅力和决心的体现。

Artificial intelligence is like a super smart computer that can do things like playing games, driving cars, and even talking to people.

For example, it can help doctors diagnose diseases faster and more accurately, or help us find the best route to a new place. But we also need to be careful because too much reliance on artificial intelligence might make us lazy and forget how to do things ourselves.Overall, I think artificial intelligence is pretty cool, but we should still be careful and not let it take over our lives completely.

Today I'm going to talk about the 2018 postgraduate entrance exam English writing question. The topic is about the impact of technology on interpersonal relationships.In my opinion, technology has both positive and negative effects on our relationships with others. On the one hand, technology makes it easier for us to communicate with people who are far away. We can use social media, video calls, and messaging apps to stay in touch with our friends and family members. This helps us feel connected even when we are physically apart.On the other hand, technology can also hinder ourface-to-face interactions with people. Sometimes we spend too much time on our phones or computers and neglect the people around us. We may miss out on important moments or fail to truly connect with others because we are too busy looking at screens.Overall, I think it's important for us to strike a balance between using technology to communicate and making time for real-life interactions. We should remember to put our devices away and focus on the people who are with us in the moment. That way, we can build stronger relationships and create meaningful connections with others.That's all for my thoughts on this topic. I hope it helps you understand the impact of technology on interpersonal relationships. Thank you for listening!篇9Title: My Thoughts on the 2018 Postgraduate Entrance Exam English Writing QuestionHi everyone!

From smartphones to social media to self-driving cars, technology has completely changed the way we live, work, and communicate.In my essay, I talked about how new technologies have made our lives more convenient and efficient. For example, we can now shop online, pay bills with a tap of our finger, and connect with friends and family around the world instantly. These advancements have definitely made our lives easier and more enjoyable.However, I also discussed the negative effects of technology on modern life. For instance, excessive screen time can lead to health issues like eye strain and obesity. Also, our reliance ontechnology has made us more disconnected from the real world and less able to communicate face-to-face.Overall, I believe that technology is a double-edged sword. It has its benefits and drawbacks, and it's important for us to find a balance between using technology to enhance our lives and not letting it control us.In conclusion, the 2018 postgraduate entrance exam writing question was thought-provoking and allowed me to reflect on the impact of new technologies on modern life. I hope my essay conveyed my ideas clearly and received a good score! Thank you for listening to my thoughts, and I wish you all the best in your own writing endeavors.

I dragged myself out of bed, my mind already racing with all the things I needed to do.As I stumbled into the kitchen, I couldn't help but notice the pile of dirty dishes in the sink. I sighed, knowing that I would have to tackle them at some point. But first, I needed a cup of coffee to wake me up.The morning rush was in full swing as I hurried to get ready for work. I couldn't find my keys, my phone was nowhere to be seen, and I was running late as usual. I finally managed to grab everything I needed and dashed out the door, hoping I wouldn't be too late.The commute to work was as chaotic as ever, withtraffic jams and honking horns filling the air.

2018年华研英语专四作文真题及范文全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1My Big Sister's English TestMy big sister Lucy is a student at the university. She is studying to be an English teacher when she grows up. Last year, she had to take a very important test called the TEM-4. It's a big English test that all university students who want to be English teachers have to pass.Lucy studied really hard for months to get ready for the test. She took practice tests, made flashcards, and read lots of books and articles in English. Sometimes I would see her sitting at her desk with her head in her hands, looking very stressed out. Getting a good score on the TEM-4 was really important for her future career.The test had sections on listening, reading, writing, and translating between Chinese and English. But the part Lucy was most worried about was the writing section. She had to write a long essay of over 700 words! That's like a whole book for someone my age.The essay prompt she had to write about was: "It is widely believed that economic globalization has exerted great influence on culture around the world. In what ways has this phenomenon impacted your country's traditional culture? Is it a positive or negative development?"That's a pretty difficult topic, even for a grown-up university student! Lucy spent a lot of time thinking about her answer and taking notes before she started writing. She had to come up with a clear thesis statement and give lots of examples and evidence to support her points.From what she told me, in her essay Lucy wrote that globalization has definitely impacted traditional Chinese culture in both positive and negative ways. On the positive side, she said that globalization has helped expose Chinese traditions like cuisine, martial arts, traditional medicine, and cultural celebrations to people all over the world. This has increased international understanding and appreciation for Chinese culture.But she also pointed out some of the negative impacts, like the rise of Western-style consumerism, the decline of traditional arts and handicrafts as cheap factory-made goods become more popular, and the fading of regional dialects and folk customs asthe country becomes more unified. She argued that while interconnectedness has opened up Chinese culture in many ways, it has also led to the dilution or loss of some traditional cultural elements.In the end, Lucy concluded that the overall impact of globalization on Chinese culture has been a mixed bag - opening some opportunities but also posing challenges to preserving cultural heritage and identity. She called for more efforts to strike a balance between the benefits of globalization while actively protecting and promoting traditional cultural practices.Writing that huge essay all in English in just two hours must have been exhausting! But Lucy worked really hard and I was so proud of her when she finished. She felt good about the essay she wrote, even though her hand was cramping up by the end.A couple months later, Lucy got her TEM-4 test results back. She passed with a really high score! The graders must have liked her essay because her writing score was one of her highest sections. Lucy was overjoyed that her hard work had paid off. Now she is one big step closer to achieving her dream of becoming an English teacher.I hope that when I get to university, I can work as hard on my English skills as Lucy did. Maybe I'll even get to take the TEM-4test myself one day! But I better start practicing my essay writing skills now so I'll be ready for that huge 700-word assignment. Two thousand words in an essay would be a piece of cake compared to that!篇2The Test Question Was:Many people believe that social media websites like Facebook and Twitter have had an entirely negative impact on individuals and society. However, others argue that these sites have had many beneficial effects. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your response.A Kid's Sample Essay:Hello boys and girls! Today we're gonna talk about something super cool and modern - social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. These websites let you chat with friends, share photos and videos, and stay updated on what everyone is doing. Pretty neat, huh?Some grumpy grown-ups think social media is all bad and hurts people. But I don't agree! I think these sites can actually help people in lots of ways. Let me tell you why.First of all, social media helps you stay connected with your friends and family even when you can't see them in person. Like if your cousin lives in another city or country, you can still message them and see what they're up to on Facebook. Or if your bestie is home sick from school, you can send them a fun video on Twitter to cheer them up. Staying in touch is important!Social media also allows you to make new friends who have the same interests as you. Like if you really love dinosaurs, you can join a dinosaur fan group and meet other kids who are dino experts too. You can share dino facts, pictures, and jokes with each other. Having friends who like the same things as you is awesome.Another cool thing is how social media helps spread important information really fast. Like if there's a storm coming and school gets cancelled, your parents can jump on Facebook to let everyone know. Or if a new Justin Bieber song comes out, your friends can immediately post about it so nobody misses out. Information travels way quicker now!But probably the best part about social media is how it gives everybody a voice to express themselves. You can share your thoughts, artwork, funny videos, or whatever you want with the whole world through Facebook and Twitter. And others cancomment, like, and support your posts. It's a fun way to be creative and unique.Of course, I know some people misuse social media to bully others or spread mean rumors. That's definitely not cool at all. But that's on those nasty people, not the social media sites themselves. As long as kids use these websites responsibly and respectfully, they can be really beneficial.Overall, while I get why certain grumpy adults are afraid of new technology, I think social media is more awesome than awful. It helps you stay connected, make new friends, share important info, be creative and unique, and have fun! Just be a good friend online and it can make your life way better.What do you guys think? Do you love being on social media as much as me? Let me know! And parents, maybe you should finally get a Facebook account and join the 21st century already. It's not that scary, I promise! Okay, thanks for listening everyone. Catch you later!篇3Here's an essay on the 2018 TEM-8 writing topic, written in English and around 2,000 words, with a child-like tone:My Amazing Day at School!Hi there! Today was such an awesome day at school. I can't wait to tell you all about it!This morning, I woke up feeling super excited because today was English class. I just love learning new words and stuff in English. It's like a fun game trying to understand everything. Anyway, after getting ready, I had my favorite breakfast - pancakes with lots of sticky syrup! Yum yum!Once I was all set, I skipped along to the school bus stop, humming my favorite cartoon theme song. The big yellow bus soon arrived and I climbed aboard, waving to the nice bus driver lady. I found a spot near the back and plopped down next to my best friend Alex."Hey Alex! Isn't today going to be the best?" I asked cheerfully."You know it!" he replied, giving me a high five.At school, we headed straight for Mr. Roberts' English class. He's my favorite teacher because he always makes learning fun and interesting. Today's lesson was about writing essays and stories. Mr. Roberts said we'd be learning how to plan and organize our ideas really well."Okay class, who can tell me the most important things we need to do before starting to write?" Mr. Roberts asked with an encouraging smile.I raised my hand up high, practically jumping out of my seat. "Ooh ooh! Pick me!"Mr. Roberts chuckled and called on me. "Go ahead, Jamie.""First we need to pick a good topic that we can write a lot about. Then we should make an outline to organize all our thoughts and ideas in a way that flows nicely and makes sense," I answered proudly."Excellent answer, Jamie! You're absolutely right," Mr. Roberts said, giving me a thumbs up.He went on to explain more tips about good essay writing like using detailed examples, checking for mistakes, and editing our work. It was a lot to remember, but I tried my best to take great notes. Writing is hard work, but so much fun too!For the rest of class, we had to start planning out our own essay ideas. Mr. Roberts let us pick any topic we wanted as long as it was something we felt passionate about. I decided to write about my favorite activity - playing soccer! I just love that game so much.I started jotting down all my thoughts - like how soccer helps me stay fit and healthy, how it teaches good sportsmanship, how I've made so many good friends, and all the amazing games I've played. Before I knew it, the outline for my essay was practically writing itself! This was going to be epic.At lunch, I almost forgot to eat I was so excited about my essay idea. But my rumbling tummy reminded me to dig into my turkey sandwich and apple slices. Once I had refueled, I continued doodling little soccer balls and players all over my notebook. I could barely sit still, I just wanted to start writing already!Finally, the rest of the day flew by and it was time for the after school soccer practice that I look forward to every day. Scoring a couple of goals, laughing with my teammates, and getting some fresh air was the perfect way to end an already stellar day.On the bus ride home, I couldn't stop thinking about my big soccer essay. I just knew it was going to be amazing. I had so many excellent memories, experiences, and reasons to write about why soccer is honestly the most fun game ever. I could hardly wait to start drafting everything out!Well, that's all for my super eventful day. I'm going to go work on my outline some more before dinner. Hopefully, I'll have my essay written and ready to share with you all very soon! Catch you later!篇4My Summer Vacation Adventure!Last summer, my family went on a super fun and exciting vacation! We went to a place called the Grand Canyon. It's a huge canyon or really big hole in the ground out in the desert in a state called Arizona.The drive there took forever! We had to ride in the car for like two whole days. My little brother Johnny kept asking "Are we there yet?" about a million times. He's so annoying sometimes! But my mom packed fun road trip games and snacks to keep us busy.When we finally got to the Grand Canyon, it was SO big! Like bigger than you could ever imagine. It seemed to go on forever in every direction. The sides were super steep going down into the canyon too. My dad said it was about a mile deep! That's like stacking a bunch of skyscrapers on top of each other. Crazy!The first day, we just walked around the rim trail and looked out over the canyon from different viewpoints. The colors of the rocks were crazy - reds, oranges, pinks, purples. My mom is an artist and she went nuts over all the colors and textures. She took like a million pictures because she said it looked like a different painting everywhere you looked.That night, we went to a ranger talk and learned all about how the Grand Canyon was formed. Basically, this huuuuge river called the Colorado River has been carving and eroding away at the rocks for millions of years. The ranger said the canyon is still getting a little bigger every year as the river keeps on flowing! Wild, right?The next day, we went on a hiking tour down into the canyon itself. We had to wake up super early, like before the sun even came up. The trail went steeply down, down, down for miles. Our guide said we'd only be going about a quarter of the way to the bottom because it's dangerous to go all the way down and back up in one day.The hike was really hard! My legs got so tired from all the steep steps. But it was awesome being down inside the canyon looking up at the huge walls towering all around us. We saw lots of cool plants and critters adapted to live in the harshenvironment too. We even saw the Colorado River itself at the bottom, but just for a second because we couldn't get too close.After our little hike, I was exhausted! The trip back up to the rim was even harder than going down. I had to stop and rest a lot and drink tons of water. My dad had to carry my little brother part of the way because he was too tuckered out to keep going. When we finally made it back to the top, we were drenched in sweat but felt so proud we had done it!On our last day, we went on a guided mule ride along the rim trail. The mules are like little donkeys that are used to carry people and supplies down into the canyon. I was a little nervous riding one at first, but our guide helped me get comfortable. We saw even more amazing views from the trail. Apparently, the Native American tribes that live in the area have lived and hunted and farmed in the canyon for centuries. There were old ruins and artifacts all along the trail that the guide pointed out. So cool!All in all, the Grand Canyon was an unbelievable place. The size and scale of it was just mind-blowing, especially being down inside it looking up. I'll never forget the incredible views and colors. I feel so lucky I got to experience one of the great natural wonders of the world. I can't wait to go on another epic adventure like this again someday!篇5Title: The Super Cool Test AdventureHi friends! Today I'm going to tell you all about the big important test I took called the China Research English Exam Level 4. It was a huge deal and tons of university students across China had to take it too. Get ready for an exciting story time!It all started a few months ago when my teacher told our class that we would all be taking this massively difficult English exam. I gulped because English is my trickiest subject in school. All those vocabulary words, grammar rules, and reading comprehension passages make my head spin sometimes. But my teacher assured us that if we studied really hard, we could ace the test.For weeks, I hit the books day and night. I made flashcards of all the crazy English words I needed to know like "ubiquitous" and "discombobulated." I practiced essay writing every day to get better at communicating my thoughts clearly in English. My brain was constantly full of English!Finally, the big day arrived. I was so nervous when I entered the exam hall and saw row after row of desks with test booklets waiting for us. I did my best to stay calm by taking deep breathslike my yoga teacher showed me. When the exam started, I zeroed in and worked my way through each section with total focus and determination.The listening part was first up. I had to listen really carefully to recordings of people speaking English and then answer multiple choice questions about what they said. Luckily my amazing ears were ready after all that practice! Next up was the reading section where I blazed through some intense reading passages before answering comprehension queries.After a snack break to re-energize, we moved onto the writing tasks. I had to draft an English essay arguing for or against an opinion. I put my pencil to work furiously, making sure to include clear examples and reasoning. The tough words I memorized smoothly made their way into my work.By the time I got to the translation section, I was a total pro. Shifting between Chinese and English was a piece of cake after so much studying. I knocked that part out in what felt like two seconds. Finally, we wrapped up with some nitpicky grammar questions testing our skills.When I walked out of there, I felt like a million bucks! That test was grueling, but I had given it my absolute all. My brain was flat out exhausted from using so much English for hours on end. Irewarded myself with some tasty dumplings from my favorite restaurant.A couple months later, the results came in and I totally rocked it! My score was high enough that I could apply to any university program I wanted. My parents were bursting with pride over my hard work paying off so nicely. That cool test adventure ended up being one of my biggest accomplishments!So there you have it friends - the full scoop on my journey conquering the terrifyingly legendary English exam. With perseverance, focus, and many hours of practice, any hurdle can be overcome. Hopefully my tale inspired you to work hard, believe in yourself, and never back down from a challenge. Let's hear it for the super students who dared to take on this beast of a test! Thanks for listening, pals!篇6My Super Awesome Summer VacationThis summer was the best summer ever! First of all, I didn't have to go to school for like three whole months. No waking up early, no homework, no teachers yelling at me. It was heaven!The first thing I did on my summer vacation was sleep in really late every single day. My mom tried to get me up early a few times, but I just ignored her. I'm an expert at ignoring my parents when I want to. After sleeping until noon, I'd play video games all day in my pajamas. I beat all the levels on my new Pokemon game. Take that, Team Rocket!After a few weeks of this, my mom said I couldn't be a lazy bum all summer. She made me go to camp for a month in July. At first I thought it would be lame and boring, but it ended up being pretty fun. We went swimming every day, made lanyards and friendship bracelets, had campfires with s'mores at night, and went on hiking trips. I even made some new friends!My favorite part was the three-day camping trip we went on. We all slept in tents and cooked our food over the campfire. One night, we heard spooky sounds outside our tent. My friend Aiden swore he saw a bear, but it was probably just a raccoon or possum or something. I didn't get much sleep that night!After camp ended, my family went on vacation to Florida for a week. We stayed at this awesome hotel that had a huge pool with a waterslide and lazy river. I spent pretty much all day, every day in the pool. My little sister kept getting sunburned becauseshe wouldn't listen when I told her to put on sunscreen. She's so annoying sometimes!We also went to Disney World and Universal Studios. I got to go on all the extreme roller coasters because I'm finally tall enough. My dad looked like he was going to puke after going on the Incredible Hulk coaster, but I loved it! We also saw lots of shows with stunts, magic, and 3D effects. So cool!At the end of the week, I was really sad to leave Florida and go back home. But my friends were all going back to school already, so I got to stay home for almost another month by myself. I invited my best bud Max over a bunch of times to play video games and have Nerf gun wars in the backyard. His mom probably got tired of him driving her crazy all day.Eventually, summer did have to end though. I dreaded going back to school, waking up at the crack of dawn, having a strict schedule, and getting piled with homework again. But at least I have an awesome three months of memories to look back on! That's what getting out of school for summer is all about - making fun memories and getting to just be a kid. I can't wait for next summer!。
now you find that the work is not what you expected. You decide to quit. Write a letter to your boss, Mr. Wang, telling him your decision, and stating your reason(s). Dear Mr. Wang, I am writing to inform you of my intention of withdrawing from my current position in this magazine. Though having worked here for merely two months, I, unfortunately, find that this job is quite different from my expectation. First of all, I have to say that my salary is far from satisfying, which barely sustains me in this expensive city. Moreover, so far I have never had the responsibility of any challenging task. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience it might bring to you.
Dear Mr. Wang, I am much grateful to be employed by you two months ago as an editor for your magazine Design &
Fashions. I appreciate the opportunity of having worked here with you and other colleagues. The experiences
will be unforgettable throughout my life. However, as a young man whose primary interest is in computer science rather than fashion designing, I find my present job doesn’t fall in with my previous training and strength. I therefore decide to quit this job for something else that may conform to my former preparation. Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconveniences my leaving may (略签名) occur.
2005 年真题大作文范文一:养老足球赛 As is vividly depicted in the cartoon, four children are playing a "football match" of taking care of their aged father. Each of them stands in a different corner of a football field. The eldest son kicked out the father with the other three children guarding their goals. The purpose of the drawing is to show us that due attention has to be paid to the mistreatment of senior citizens. First and foremost, some people shirk their duty of financially supporting their old and helpless parents due to their own interests. Furthermore, some elderly people are often illtreated by their own children and cannot lead a normal life. Last but not least, while some young people enjoy a comfortable life, their parents are neglected and reduced to utter poverty. It is imperative for us to take drastic measures. To begin with, relevant laws and regulations should be made to severely punish those who shun the responsibilities of caring their parents. In addition, we should cultivate the awareness of the young that respecting the old has always been the traditional virtue of Chinese culture. Only in this way can we curb the current evil phenomenon revealed in the picture. (198) 2005 年真题大作文范文二: The cartoon displays a very special and thought-provoking soccer game: the four goals are kept by an old man’s three sons and one daughter, while the old man himself becomes the ball, being kicked among the four corners by his “beloved” children. It is clearly indicated that none of them is willing to spare a tiny portion of time and money to repay their old father who have raised them. Through the artistic presentation, we can be easily reminded of a popular phenomenon in today’s society, that is, disrespect towards elders and shirking of the responsibility of nursing aging parents. The boosting economic development in China sadly witnesses a deterioration of the public awareness of filial duty, which had taken an indispensable position in traditional Chinese values for thousands of years. However, as the society grows more benefit-oriented, the once unbroken bond between parents and children is fundamentally shaken and begins to collapse.
In my point of view, the trend goes quite against the genuine and original purpose of our pursuit of wealth and welfare, that is, to shape a rich life both materially and mentally. Thinking of the love we received from our parents when swaggering babies, we must realize that repaying parents by a happy life with
