英语二作文范文(优选28篇)英语二作文范文第5篇英语二作文范文第18篇英语二作文范文第25篇As is illustrated in the chart, significant changes have occurred in China's total express business volume and rural express business volume from 2023 to 2023. The total number is roughly 51 billion in 2023,64 billion in 2023 and around 83 billion in number of Chinese rural express packages in 2023 is 12 billion, while the number jumped dramatically to 30 billion in 2023.What accounts for the increase? From my perspective, at least three factors contribute to the changes. To begin with,the availability of computers and smartphones is the foremost contributor and the rapid development of information technology enables nearly everybody to have access to the Internet. More importantly,the change is closely related to the rising income of the Chinese people, especially the residents living in rural areas. Finally, the changes are enhanced and promoted by the government's bettering policies as well as the more convenient channels in the e-commerce field.With the development of China's economy and society, the rising trend is bound to continue for a couple of years in the far as I am concerned, it's a positive trend and should be encouraged.英语二作文范文第26篇20xx年的考研越来越近了。

高中英语真题:2015一轮英语阅读理解练习（2）及答案（精品）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Rivers may be a significant source of the greenhouse gas nitrou s oxide (一氧化二氮), scientists now find.Their calculation suggests that across the globe the waterways contribute three times the amount of nitrous oxide to the atmos phere as had been estimated by the International Panel on Clim ate Change (IPCC), the United Nations scientific body charged with reviewing climate change research. They found that the a mount of nitrous oxide produced in streams is related to human activities that release nitrogen (氮) into the environment, such a s fertilizer use and sewage discharges.“Human activities, including fossil fuel combustion and intensive agriculture, have increased the availability of nitrogen in the en vironment,” said Jake Beaulieu of the University of Notre Dame and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in , , and lead a uthor of the paper published this week in the journal Proceeding s of the National Academy of Sciences.“Much of this nitrogen is transported into river and stream netw orks,” Beaulieu said. There, microbes (微生物) convert the nitrogen into nitrous oxide (also called laughing gas) and an inert gas called dinitrogen (二氮).The finding is important, the researchers say, because nitrous o xide is a powerful greenhousegas that contributes to climate change and destruction of the str atosphere’s ozone layer, which protects us from the sun’s harm ful ultraviolet (紫外线) radiation. Compared with carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide is 30 0-fold more powerful in terms of its warming potential, though car bon dioxide isa far more common greenhouse gas. Scientists estimate nitrou s oxide accounts for about 6 percent of human-induced climate change.Beaulieu and colleagues measured nitrous oxide production rat es in 72 streams. When summed across the globe, the results s howed rivers and streams are the source of at least 10 percent of human-caused nitrous oxide emissions to the atmosphere. “Changes in agricultural and land-use practices that result in less nitrogen being delivered to streams would reduce nitrous oxide emissions from river networks,” Beaulieu said.1. From the second paragraph we can learn .A. actually rivers give off much more nitrous oxide than expecte dB. scientists’ calculation is totally wrongC. human activities release nitrous oxide in to the riversD. there is no nitrogen in fertilizer2. Which of the following is NOT the source of nitrogen?A. Fertilizer use.B. Sewage discharges.C. Fossil fuel combustion.D. Climate change.3. Nitrous oxide is a powerful greenhouse gas because .A. it can protect us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiationB. it is to blame for most of human-induced climate changeC. it is a far more common greenhouse gasD. it has much more warming potential than carbon dioxide4. What does the passage mainly tells us?A. Rivers may be a source of the greenhousegas nitrous oxide.B. It’s human activities that release nitrogen into the environme nt.C. How to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from river networksD What to do with the climate change caused by nitrous oxide. 【参考答案】1—4、ADDA较难题目特训：节能环保类阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

We suddenly can't remember where we put the keys just a moment ago, or an old acquaintance's name, or the name of an old band we used to love.我们会突然忘记自己把刚放下的钥匙放哪了，或想不起旧相识的名字或曾经非常喜欢乐队的名字。

This loss of mental focus can potentially have a bad impact on our professional, social, and personal well-being.这种心智上注意力的缺失可能会对我们的工作、社交以及个人生活产生不好的影响。

Neuroscientists are increasingly showing that there's actually a lot that can be done.神经学家不断表明很多方法可以帮助改善这一情况。
