上海海事大学插班生考试真题英语全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1An Insider's Look at the English Exam for Transfer Students at Shanghai Maritime UniversityAs a transfer student hoping to gain admission to the prestigious Shanghai Maritime University, one of the biggest hurdles I faced was the English proficiency exam. Thishigh-stakes test can make or break your dreams of joining the ranks of this world-renowned institution. Having gone through the experience myself, I want to share an insider's perspective on what to expect and how to prepare.First and foremost, the English exam is no walk in the park. It's a comprehensive assessment that tests your command of the language across all domains – reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The university isn't just looking for students who can memorize grammar rules and vocabulary lists; they wantwell-rounded individuals who can communicate effectively in real-world scenarios.The reading section is a real doozy. You'll be presented with several lengthy passages, often drawn from academic or professional contexts, and asked to demonstrate your comprehension through a series of multiple-choice questions. These passages can cover a wide range of topics, from maritime laws and regulations to technical descriptions of ship equipment. Vocab you encounter is going to be pretty advanced, aimed at assessing your ability to tackle dense, specialized texts.The writing section is where you'll have a chance to showcase your ability to express yourself coherently and persuasively. You might be asked to write an essay analyzing a complex issue, crafting a well-structured argument, or describing a hypothetical scenario. Solid grammar, a diverse vocabulary, and strong organizational skills are crucial here.As for the listening section, get ready to strain your ears. You'll be played a variety of audio clips – lectures, conversations, announcements – and asked to answer comprehension questions about the main ideas, details, and implied meanings. The clips often include technical jargon and maritime terminology, so brush up on your industry-specific vocab.Finally, the speaking section will assess your ability to communicate verbally in English. You might be asked to describean image, explain a process, or engage in a simulated conversation or role-play. Pronunciation, fluency, and the ability to think on your feet are key.One piece of advice: don't underestimate the importance of mastering maritime-specific terminology and concepts. The exam isn't just testing general English ability; it's also gauging your familiarity with the language and contexts relevant to a career in the maritime industry.My personal experience with the exam was a real roller coaster. I'd been studying English for years, but the level of difficulty still caught me off guard. The reading passages were dense and full of technical details that really put my comprehension skills to the test. The writing section required me to think critically and construct well-reasoned arguments – no easy feat, even in my native language.The listening section was particularly challenging for me. I struggled to keep up with the rapid-fire delivery and unfamiliar accents. And the speaking section? Let's just say I was grateful the examiners were patient and understanding when I stumbled over my words.In the end, though, the hard work paid off. I poured countless hours into reviewing maritime terminology, practicingsample tests, and seeking out opportunities to engage with English in real-world scenarios. I also made use of campus resources like language labs and conversation clubs to fine-tune my skills.Preparing for this exam was one of the most grueling academic challenges I've ever faced, but it was also an incredible learning experience. Not only did it push me to improve my English proficiency, but it also gave me a deeper appreciation for the role language plays in the maritime industry, where clear communication can quite literally mean the difference between life and death.So, to any fellow transfer students out there gearing up to take the English exam at Shanghai Maritime University, my advice is this: don't underestimate the level of difficulty, but also don't psyche yourself out. Approach it with diligence, determination, and a willingness to immerse yourself in the language and subject matter. It's a demanding test, but one that will ultimately better prepare you for the demands of a maritime career.And who knows? Maybe I'll see you on campus soon, as a newly admitted student ready to embark on the next chapter ofyour maritime journey. Just don't forget to brush up on those nautical terms – you're going to need them!篇2The Transfer Student English Exam at Shanghai Maritime University: A Grueling Test of Skill and StaminaAs I stepped into the exam hall, my heart was pounding with a mix of anticipation and dread. This was it – the make-or-break moment that would determine if I could transfer into Shanghai Maritime University's prestigious programs. The English exam for transfer students was legendary for its difficulty, covering everything from reading comprehension to essay writing. I took a deep breath and tried to calm my nerves as I found my assigned seat.The first section was reading comprehension, and the passages did not disappoint in their complexity. One was a dense academic text analyzing the environmental impact of shipping routes in the Arctic. Another was a literary excerpt filled with archaic vocabulary and metaphorical language. I diligently annotated the margins and puzzled through the nuanced questions, managing my time carefully.Next was a grammar and usage section that tested even the most obscure rules of English. Identifying misplaced modifiers, parallelism errors, and proper idiom usage required pulling from the deepest recesses of my grammatical knowledge. I couldn't help but feel grateful for all the practice tests I had done to prepare.The writing section proved to be the ultimate test of stamina. We had to craft a persuasive essay arguing for or against a controversial proposition – in my case, whether maritime universities should make cybersecurity training compulsory. Gathering my thoughts, I outlined my thesis and supporting points before diving into the writing. Paragraph after paragraph, I strived to craft clear and logically cohesive arguments, ensuring I employed precise vocabulary and varied sentence structures.The minutes ticked by far too quickly, and before I knew it, the dreaded words "Five minutes remaining" echoed across the hall. I scrambled to quickly proofread and polish my concluding paragraph before the final haunting call of "Pens down!" My hands were cramped, and I stretched my fingers with a mixture of relief and dismay.As I trudged out of the exam hall after four grueling hours, my mind was a muddled haze. Had I analyzed the readingpassages correctly? Did I miss any glaring grammatical errors in my essay? The uncertainty was agonizing, but there was nothing to do but wait.Waiting for the results was a torturous experience. Every day, I found myself checking the admissions portal compulsively, hoping for an update. Friends and family constantly asked about my prospects, and I could only respond with a weary shrug. "The results should be out soon," I'd say, trying to conceal my mounting anxiety.Finally, the fateful day arrived when the email dropping into my inbox – my transfer application results were ready to view online. With trembling hands, I logged into the portal and navigated to my application status.My eyes frantically scanned the page, breath catching in my throat, until I saw those beautiful words: "Transfer application accepted." A wave of euphoria washed over me as I let out a whoop of joy. All those late nights poring over practice exams, all the grammatical rules and vocabulary lists committed to memory – it had all been worth it!As I stride onto Shanghai Maritime University's campus for my first day of classes, I can't help but feel a swell of pride. This prestigious institution, with its esteemed faculty andcutting-edge facilities, is now my new academic home. And I have that grueling English exam to thank for opening the doors to this incredible opportunity.While the transfer student English exam was undoubtedly one of the most challenging tests I've faced, it was also an invaluable learning experience. It pushed me to strengthen my skills in reading analysis, writing, and grammar to the highest level. The phenomenal teaching and support system have already started expanding my horizons even further.As I chart my course through this pioneering maritime program, I know the relentless dedication I showed in preparing for that exam will continue to propel me forward. The vast ocean of knowledge awaits, and I'm finally aboard the ship that will navigate those waters. Anchors aweigh!篇3My Experience with the English Exam for Transfer Students at Shanghai Maritime UniversityAs a student seeking to transfer into Shanghai Maritime University, one of the biggest hurdles was the English examination. This exam tested not only my English language skills, but also my ability to think critically and apply myknowledge under pressure. In this essay, I will share my experience with preparing for and taking this high-stakes exam.Preparing for the ExamThe first step in my preparation was to thoroughly review the exam format and requirements. The English exam for transfer students at SMU consisted of four sections: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, writing, and translation. Knowing exactly what to expect helped me develop an effective study plan.For the listening section, I practiced with authentic materials like podcasts, videos, and online exercises. I focused on catching key details, understanding various accents, and taking notes efficiently. The reading section required similar skills, so I read extensively from academic sources, worked on improving my reading speed and comprehension, and practiced answering analytical questions.The writing portion was perhaps the most challenging for me. I had to be able to construct a clear, well-organized essay on an assigned topic within a limited time frame. I spent many hours reviewing essay structures, improving my vocabulary and grammar, and practicing timed writing exercises. Seekingfeedback from teachers and attending writing workshops also proved invaluable.Finally, the translation section required precise understanding of grammar, vocabulary, and idiomatic expressions in both English and Chinese. I worked through numerous translation exercises, built vocabulary lists, and paid close attention to subtle differences in meaning and nuance between the two languages.In addition to content preparation, I also worked on developing strong test-taking strategies. Time management was crucial, so I practiced pacing myself and prioritizing tasks. I learned techniques for staying focused and avoiding distractions or anxiety during the exam.The Day of the ExamOn the day of the exam, I arrived at the testing center feeling both nervous and prepared. The atmosphere was tense, with hundreds of students all vying for a limited number of transfer spots at SMU.The listening section was first, and I found it challenging to remain focused throughout the multiple passages and questions.However, my preparation with authentic materials helped me feel confident in identifying key details and main ideas.Next was the reading comprehension section, which included several dense academic passages. By implementing active reading strategies like annotating and summarizing as I went, I was able to manage my time effectively and analyze the passages in depth.The writing section presented its own difficulties. The prompt asked me to discuss the role of technology in maritime education and operations. Drawing upon my background knowledge and preparation, I structured a clear thesis, incorporated relevant examples and evidence, and ensured my writing was logically organized. Although time was limited, I felt that I was able to convey my ideas coherently.Finally, the translation section allowed me to directly apply my knowledge of the nuances between English and Chinese. I carefully worked through each sentence, paying close attention to grammatical structures, idiomatic phrases, and maintaining the intended meaning and tone.After the grueling four-hour exam, I left feeling both mentally exhausted and cautiously optimistic about my performance.Reflections and ResultsIn the weeks following the exam, I anxiously awaited the results that would determine my future at SMU. During this time, I reflected on the immense effort I had put into preparing and took pride in knowing that I had given my full effort.When the results were finally released, I was overjoyed to learn that I had achieved a high score and earned admission as a transfer student to my dream university. All of the late nights poring over practice materials, seeking help from teachers and tutors, and pushing myself to improve had paid off.Looking back on this experience, I realize how valuable it was in developing my English proficiency, academic skills, and discipline. The preparation process taught me effective study habits, time management strategies, and the perseverance to tackle challenging goals.The exam itself was an incredible opportunity to apply my knowledge in a high-pressure situation, skills that will continue to serve me well throughout my academic and professional career. I am grateful for the growth I experienced and feelwell-prepared to take on the academic rigors of my program at SMU.To any students facing a similar challenging exam, my advice is to start preparing early, develop a comprehensive study plan, practice diligently, and believe in yourself. With dedication and focus, you can overcome any obstacle in pursuit of your academic dreams.。

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 the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Items 31-35 are based on the following passage:Labor MarketIn economics, labor is a measure of the work done by human beings. It is conventionally contrasted with such other factors of production as land and capital. It is always treated as acommodity——something bought and sold in the marketplace. And the wage rate, which a firm pays for an hour of labor, is regarded as the price of that commodity.Of course, labor is different from other things that are traded. First, sellers of other commodities do not care who buys their product, as long as they get the market price. Sellers of labor, on the other hand, care very much who buys their labor, because that firm becomes their employer. This gives sellers of labor an interest in working conditions, friendly coworkers, commuting distance, possibilities for advancement, prestige, a sense of fulfillment and more. A second distinct feature of labor is the special meaning of the price in this market: the wage rate. Most of the incomes people earn over their lifetimes will come from their jobs——from selling their labor——so their wage rate will determine how well they can feed, clothe, house, and otherwise provide for themselves and their families. Differences in wages thus bring up vital issues of equity and fairness in the economy.Labor markets may be local or national (even international) in their scope and are made up of smaller, interacting labor markets for different qualifications, skills, and geographical locations. They depend on exchange of information between employers and job seekers about wage rates, conditions of employment, level of competition, and job location.Labor Market EquilibriumThe demand for labor has increased because of technological change and the accumulation of capital. Many people are surprised about the fact. They see new technologies destroying jobs, not creating them. Downsizing became catchword of the 1990s as the computers and information age took hold and eliminated millions of “good” jobs, even of managers. So how can it be that technological change creates jobs and increase the demand for labor?Technological change destroys some jobs and creates others. But it creates more than it destroys, and on average the new jobs pay more than the old ones did. But to benefit from the advances in technology, people must acquire new skills and change their jobs. For example, during the past 15 years, the demand for typists has fallen almost to zero. But the demand for people who can type (on a computer rather than a typewriter) and do other things as well has increased. And the output of these people is worth more than that of a typist. So the demand for people with typing skills has increased.The supply of labor has increased because of population growth and technological change and capital accumulation in the home. The mechanization of home production of fast-food preparation services ( the freezer and the microwave oven) and laundry services (the automatic washer and dryer and drip drying clothing) has decreased the time spent on activities that once were full-time jobs inside the home and has led to a large increase in the supply of labor. As a result, the supply of labor has steadily increased, but a slower pace than the demand for labor.Because technological advances and capital accumulation have increased demand by more than the population growth and technological change in home production has increased supply, both wage and employment have increased. But not everyone has shared in the advancing。

In 1905 Einstein published five highly importan t essays in the history of science, thus revolutionizing physics.

The diary brought back every moment George had spent with his father and many of the specific things his father did on his behalf. George's father used to impress on him the need to undergo all kinds of hardship in quest of excellence. He also taught him that nothing in the world could be taken for granted. Even today, George still remembers how his father would quote Aesop's famous saying "Gratitude is the sign of noble souls" and tell him to accord the greatest importance to it.Unit 61).The red house stands out against the old trees that reach high up to the sky.2).The salary in/for my new job is great, but for the rest, I’m not satisfied.3).The waters of the two streams mingle near our village.4).We should not mock at other people’s religious beliefs.5).The curtains of the room are not quite in tune with the style of the furniture.2.

In fact, many of them act like this just to look the part, or to be "in tune with" other artists. They have forgotten that only through persistent effort can one achieve success.Unit 7II.

It has received considerable attention in recent years when increased pressure for energy conservation has accentuated the need for more efficient methods of processing the bovine carcass. Cooling of an entire carcass requires a considerable amount of refrigerated space, since bone and trimmable fat are cooled along with the muscle. It is also necessary to space the carcasses adequately in the refrigerated room for better air movement and prevention of microbial contamination, thus adding to the volume requirements for carcass chillers.Conventional handling of meat involves holding the beef sides in the cooler for 24 to 36 hours before boning. Chilling in the traditional fashion is also associated with a loss of carcass weight ranging from 2% to 4% due to evaporation of moisture from the meat tissue.Early exc ision, or hot boning, of muscle prerigor followed by vacuum packaging has several potential advantages. By removing only the edible muscle and fat prerigor, refrigeration space and costs are minimized, boning labor is decreased and storage yields increased. Because hot boning often results in toughening of meat, a more recent approach, hot boning often following electrical stimulation, has been used to reduce the necessary time of rigor mortis. Some researchers have found this method beneficial in maintaining tender meat, while others have found that the meat also becomes tough after electrical stimulation.1.Which of the following was not mentioned as a drawback of the conventional methods of boning?A. Storage space requirements.B. Energy waste.C. Loss of carcass weight.D. Toughness of meat.2.Hot boning is becoming very popular because .A.it causes meat to be very tenderB.it helps conserve energy and is less expensive than conventional methodsC.meat tastes better when the bone is adequately seared along with the meatD.it reduces the weight of the carcass3.Carcass chiller means most nearly .A.a refrigerator for the animal bodyB.a method of boning meatC.electrical stimulation of beefD.early excision4.Early excision means most nearly .A. vacuum packagingB. hot boningC. carcass chillingD. electrical stimulation5.The toughening of meat during hot boning has been combatted by .A.following hot boning with electrical stimulationB.tenderizing the meating electrical stimulation before hot boningD.removing only the edible muscle and fat prerigorPassage BIn 1920, after some thirty-nine years of problems with disease, high costs, and politics, Panama Canal was officially opened, finally linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by allow ing ships to pass through the fifty-mile canal zone instead of traveling some seven thousand miles around Cape Horn. It takes a ship approximately eight hours to complete the trip through the canal and costs an average of fifteen thousand dollars, one tenth of what it would coast an average ship to round the Horn. More than fifteen thousand ships pass through its locks each year.The French initiated the project but sold their right to the United States. The latter would control it until the end of the twentieth century when Panama took over its duties.6.Who currently controls the Panama Canal?A. FranceB. PanamaC. United StatesD. Canal Zone7.In approximately what did a different government take control of the Panama Canal?A. 2000B. 2100C. 3001D. 29998.On the average, how much would it cost a ship to travel around Cape Horn?A. $1,500B. $15,000C. $150,000D. $1,500,0009.In what year was construction probably begun on the canal?A. 1881B. 1920C. 1939D. 199910.What can be inferred from this reading?A.This is a costly project which should be reevaluated.B.Despite all the problems involved, the project is beneficial.C.Many captains prefer to sail around Cape Horn because it is less expensive.D.Due to all the problems, three governments have had to control the canal over the years. Passage CIn 776 B. C. the first Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honor the Greek’s chief god, Zeus. The Greeks emphasized physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus and javelin throwing, boxing, and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honored by having olive wreaths placed on their heads and havingpoems sung about their deeds. Originally these were held as games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place.The Greeks attached so much importance to these games that they calculated time in four-year cycles called “Olympiads” dating from 776 B. C.11.Which of the following is not true?A.Winners placed olive wreaths on their own heads.B.The games were held in Greece every four years.C.Battles were interrupted to participate in the games.D.Poems glorified the winners in song.12.Why were the Olympic Games held?A. To sop wars.B. To honor Zeus.C. To crown the best athletes.D. To sing songs about the athletes.13.Approximately how many years ago did these games originated?A. 776 years.B. 2,277 years.C. 1,205 years.D. 2,790 years.14.Which of the following contests was not mentioned?A. Discus throwing.B. Boxing.C. Skating.D. Running.15.What conclusion can we draw about the ancient Greeks?A. They liked to fight.B. They were very athletic.C. They liked a lot of ceremony. C. they couldn’t count, so they used “Olympiads” for dates. Passage DPetroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosene, home heating oil, residual fuel oil, and lubricating oils, come from one source—crude oil found below the earth’s surface, as we ll as under large bodies of water, from a few hundred feet below the surface to as deep as 25,000 feet into the earth’s interior. Sometimes crude oil is secured by drilling a hole through the earth, but more dry holes are drilled than those producing oil. Pressure at the source or pumping forces crude oil to the surface.Crude oil wells flow at varying rates, from ten to thousands of barrels per hour. Petroleum products are always measured in 42-gallon barrels.Petroleum products vary very greatly in physical appearance: thin, thick, transparent or opaque, but regardless, their chemical composition is made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which form compounds called hydrocarbons. Other chemical elements found in union with the hydrocarbons are few and are classified as impurities. Trace elements are also found, but these are of such minute quantities that they are disregarded. The combination of carbon and hydrogen forms many thousands of compounds which are possible because of the various positions and joinings of these two atoms in the hydrocarbon molecule.The various petroleum products are refined from the crude oil by heating and condensing the vapors. These products are the so-called light oils, such as gasoline, kerosene, and distillate oil. The residue remaining after the light oils are distilled is known as heavy or residual fuel oil and is used mostly for burning under boilers. Additional complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical。
