自考英语二2009年4月作文Title: The Impact of Globalization on Language Learning: An Analysis of English for Self-Paced Exams in 2009In the realm of higher education, the 2009 April Self-Paced Examination in English for the Second Level (ESP2009) stands as a testament to the ever-evolving nature of language learning in the era of globalization. This essay delves into the challenges and opportunities that this examination presents, examining the role of globalization in shaping English language proficiency for self-study.The backdrop of the 2009 ESP2009 was a world that was deeply interconnected, with English serving as the lingua franca of international communication. The rise of the internet, globalization, and the increasing demand for multilingual professionals had significantly influenced the format and content of the test. The primary focus was on functional English, reflecting the need for students to communicate effectively in various professional contexts.Globalization, as a force, brought about a diverse pool of learners, each with varying linguistic backgrounds and learning styles. This diversity necessitated a test that catered to individual needs,allowing self-study to be a flexible and personalized experience. The ESP2009, therefore, incorporated a mix of reading comprehension, writing, and speaking tasks, designed to assess not only grammatical accuracy but also the ability to adapt to different situations.One significant aspect of the test was the emphasis on reading materials from a range of sources, including newspapers, academic articles, and business correspondence. This was a reflection of the growing importance of reading comprehension in a globalized world, where understanding diverse texts is crucial for professional success. Students were expected to analyze and interpret information, demonstrating their ability to navigate the sea of information available online.The writing component, too, was not limited to standard academic essays. It included tasks that required students to write emails, reports, and even letters in different formats. This practical approach aimed to prepare them for real-world communication, where clear and concise writing is often the key to success. The test also tested their ability to structure arguments and present ideas in a logical manner, a skill that is crucial in a globalized professional landscape.The oral component, if any, was likely to be in the form of a simulated conversation or a presentation. It tested not only pronunciation but also the ability to express oneself confidently andpersuasively, a skill that transcends borders and cultural barriers. This component, too, was designed to reflect the growing importance of effective communication in a globalized world.However, the 2009 ESP2009 also highlighted the challenges that globalization posed. The test, being self-paced, required students to manage their time effectively and self-study independently. This could be a daunting task for those who lacked the discipline or resources to maintain a consistent learning routine. The test also exposed the digital divide, as not all students had equal access to the internet and digital tools for self-assessment.In conclusion, the 2009 Self-Paced Examination in English for the Second Level, or ESP2009, was a microcosm of the impact of globalization on language learning. It emphasized the need for adaptability, critical thinking, and practical communication skills in a globalized world. For students, it was a call to action, encouraging them to embrace the challenges and opportunities that the internet and international communication presented. As we look back, the test remains a reminder of the dynamic nature of language learning, a process that continues to evolve in the ever-connected world.。

It is not a stimulant but a depressant, which adversely affects concentration, removes inhibitions, and increases the risk of accidents. Under the influence of alcohol people are less able to exercise self control and may say and do things that they afterwards regret—perhaps for the rest of their lives. For example, a girl who does not wish to have a baby may be made pregnant by a man whom she would not have chosen as the father of her child; and a man may make pregnant a woman whom he would not have chosen as the mother of his child. Some other forms of drug taking, like drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco, are part of group behaviour. Such drug taking is encouraged by those who are already addicted to the drug, and by those who profit by making and selling the drug.Anyone who starts taking a drug may soon become addicted to it. As with all bad habits, it is better not to start drug taking than to suffer the physical and emotional harm caused by the drug and to have the problem of trying to break the addiction. It is best, therefore, to refuse the drug that is offered. Apart from other considerations, drugs that come from unreliable sources （because their manufacture and distribution is against the law） are not available in carefully measured doses and theirpurity is not guaranteed. Their effects are unpredictable and they may well be dangerous. If such drugs are offered by so-called friends you would be well advised to find new friends, who share your values, and to continue being yourself.1． Regular drinkers of alcohol are those who ___ . （）A． are not used to the drugB． may get immediate effects from the drinkC． suffer a lot from the drinkD． drink the drug very often2． Under the influence of alcohol, people ___ .（）A． are able to concentrate themselvesB． are able to exercise self-controlC． are afraid of taking the risk of accidentsD． may say and do things that they afterwards regret3． The girl in the passage ___ .（）A． is made pregnant by a man she doesn't likeB． wishes to marry the man who is her baby's fatherC． does not really like the man to marry herD． does not have a baby4． According to the author, when you are offered a drug, you'd better ___ .（）A． refuse itB． take it from reliable sourcesC． accept it and soon become addicted to itD． start drug taking5． Drugs that come from unreliable sources ___ . （）A． are illegalB． are not availableC． are encouraged to takeD． are manufactured abroad2． By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can made some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.1． Adders are most likely to be found ___ .（）A． in wilder parts of Britain and IrelandB． in Scotland and nowhere elseC． on uncultivated land throughout BritainD． in shady fields in England2． If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder you should ___ .（）A． try to catch the adderB． make no attempt to treat the biteC． not worry about the victimD． operate as soon as possible3． We are told that adders are ___ （）A． normally friendly towards peopleB． unlikely to bite except in self-defenseC． aggressive towards anyone in their territoryD． not afraid of human beings4． If an adder hears you approaching, it will usually ___ .（）A． move out of your pathB． take no notice of you at allC． disappear very quicklyD． wait until you are close then attack5． We are told that in general British people think snakes are （）A． not very common in BritainB． usually harmlessC． more dangerous than they usually areD． unlikely to kill people by their bite3． Our culture has caused most Americans to assume （设想） not only that our language is universal but that the gestures we use are understood by everyone. We do not realize that waving goodbye is the way to summon （召唤） a person from the Philippines to one's side, or that in Italy and some Latin - American countries, curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell.Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War Ⅱ and marked them GIFT to escape duty payments did bother to find out that “Gift” means poison in German. Moreover, we like to think of ourselves as friendly, yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arm's length away from others. Latins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch, which makes Americans uncomfortable.Our linguistic（语⾔上的）and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take no notice of the developed tastes, gestures, customs and languages of other countries, are losing us friends, business and respect in the world.Even here in the United States, we make few concessions （让步） to the needs of foreign visitors. There are no information signs in four languages on our public buildings or monuments; we do not have multilingual（多语⾔的） guided tours. Very few restaurant menus have translations, and multilingual waiters, bank clerks and policemen are rare. Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them.When we go abroad, we tend to cluster （成群） in hotels and restaurants where English is not spoken. Then attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those natives usually the richer—who speak English. Our business dealings, as well as the nation's diplomacy（外交） , are conducted through interpreters.For many years, America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance. After all America is the most powerful country of the free world, the distributor needed funds and goods.But all that is past. American dollars no longer buy all good things, and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing. A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs; we want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century, even though it may not always be the upper hand.1． It can be inferred that Americans being approached （接近）too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably ___ .（）A． stand stillB． jump asideC．step forwardD． draw back2． The author gives many examples to criticize Americans for their ___. （）A． cultural self-centerednessB． casual mannersC．indifference towards foreign visitorsD． arrogance （傲慢态度） to wards other countries3． In other countries most Americans ___.（）A． are isolated by the local peopleB． are not well informed due to the language barrierC．tend to get along well with the nativesD． need interpreters in hotels and restaurants4． According to the author, Americans' cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance will ___.（）A． affect their image in the new eraB． cut themselves off from the outside worldC．limit their role in world affairsD． weaken the position of the US dollar5． The author's intention in writing this article is to make Americans realize that ___. （）A． it is dangerous to ignore their foreign friendsB． it is important to maintain their leading role in world affairsC．it is necessary to use several languages in public places四、词汇拼写题1．象征的 a. s__ __ __ __ __ __ __2．惭愧的 adi. a _ _ _ _ _ _3．症状，征兆 n. s_ _ _ _ _ _4．不断增加地 ad. i___ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __5．否定的，否认的 adj. n _ _ _ _ _ _ _6．增援，加强 vt. r___ __ __ __ __ __ __ __7．献⾝ n. d _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _8．配偶 n. p _ _ _ _ _ _9．着⼿做 vt. u_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _10．定位 n. l _ _ _ _ _ _ _11．装饰 v. o _ _ _ _ _ _ _12．适度的 adj. m _ _ _ _ _ _ _13．汁，液 n. j _ _ _ _14．压倒之势的 a. o__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __15．除…之外 prep. e _ _ _ _ _16．过度的 adj. u _ _ _ _17．拧紧 v. t _ _ _ _ _ _18．焦点的 adj. f _ _ _ _19．投票 n./v. p _ _ _20．坚持地，固执地 ad. p_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _五、词形变换题1． The new method is much___（efficient） than the old one.2． Scientists have suggested that very ___ （advance） technology could one day make use of the energy of black holes for mankind.3． When he hurried to the airport, he found, to his great disappointment, his ticket and passport ___ （leave） at home. 4． I can still spend hours dressing to go somewhere, trying to find a look that___（follow） the rules of fashion, the rules of personal expression and the rules of not caring about fashion, all at the same time.5． I could see that the word water meant something___（wonder） and cool.6． If thalidomide ___(invent) today, it would never be released for human use because new tests on pregnant animals would reveal the dangers.7． Many other new techniques are available that enable more research___（do） in the test tube.8． Every student in this class likes the film ___ （base）on the novel by D.

Instead, they keep their discussion of topics at a very superficial level，which prevents them fromknowing and understanding each other. The lack of understanding leads to unsuccessful communication. It is clear that personality, to some extent，affects the initiation and maintenance of communication.Although age difference gives rise to communication problems between two generations，competition poses an even greater problem when people are about the same age．Intense competition in the modern world creates tremendous pressure on people．In order to get ahead in a career or in school, people tend to devote most of their time to working，studying，or other activities that enhance their prospects for the future．As a consequence，they have little inclination to communicate with others. They are anxious about their achievements because those are the measures of success in life. So, keen competition also discourages people from having a good understanding of each other.Communicating with other people involves much effort because people?s personality, the generation gap and keen competition bring about potential problems. These problems are constantly with us, and any of them may lead to a breakdown in communication between individuals.II．Write an outline(20 points)Read the following passage carefully and compose a ‘‘topic outline’’ for it．What Is a Rodeo?“Rodeo” is a Spanish word meaning ……gathering place or marketplace for cattle.” A rodeo itself is a competitive contest based loosely on traditional cowboy skills of riding and roping．It consists of six major events：riding an untamed horse in a saddle；riding an untamed horse without a saddle；riding abull；roping a calf；wrestling a bull to the ground；racing horses around barrels with women riders. A rodeo is perhaps the most genuinely American of all sports．The first rodeo took place following a cattle roundup in the 1880s．From this informal cowboy pastime，a colorful spectacle has evolved that contains many familiar American elements--the exciting action of bucking horses and bulls，the explosive masculine environment，the hot dog stands，beer barrels，boots，jeans，and cowboy hats．T oday, most rodeos are staged in a large，flat arena that is fenced off to protect the viewing public．Grandstands are erected on two sides of the arena；on the other sides are places to hold the horses，calves，and bulls．Nearby are narrow chutes from which animals are released into the arena．On a platform a loudspeaker system is set up for the announcer, who introduces the riders and comments on the events as they happen．Near the arena are refreshment stands where people gather to buy food and drink. Portable rest rooms are set up near the grandstand，and an ambulance is parked nearby in case of an accident.An opening parade of proud riders on proud horses usually begins a rodeo；the performers carry flapping national and state flags．Then the two-act performance begins．Calf roping and bull wrestling are timed events．In the fastest possible time，a man must rope and throw to the ground a calf and tie three of its feet together．In bull wrestling，the object is to tumble the bull onto its back with its head and all its feet in line．Calf roping has been done under fifteen seconds，and a bull has been wrestled in less than ten seconds．When riding an animal，a contestant mounts before the chute gates are opened．The rider must stay on the buckinganimal for eight seconds；points are given for the performance of both the animal and the contestant．In all riding events，the contestant is disqualified if he touches the animal with his free hand．Probably the most difficult rodeo feat is Brahman bull riding．During this event, a rodeo comes to resemble a circus because gaily-costumed clowns come into the arena to dis tract the bull?s attention from fallen riders．To stay on a bucking bull for as long as eight seconds is one of the most challenging tasks in a rodeo. Spectators eagerly wait for this event．The present circus extends far beyond the region where the contests first developed．Now rodeos are popular throughout the western half of the U．S．A．and in major eastern and southern cities．Australia also stages these events．One of the biggest rodeos of all is held during the annual Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Canada．III．Compose an essay(60 points)Traditionally, Chinese families would gather at home and have a big dinner on the eve of the Chinese New Year．In recent years, however, many families choose to have the dinner at restaurants．Which do you think is a better choice, and why? Write a 300-word expository essay stating your views.。
