大学生英语竞赛d类真题作文及答案College Student English Contest Class D Writing Test and AnswerPart 1: WritingWrite an essay of about 300 words on the following topic:In recent years, the rapid development of technology has greatly impacted people's lives. However, some people argue that technology is making our lives more convenient, while others believe it is causing more harm than good. What is your opinion on this issue? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Answer:In today's fast-paced world, technology plays a significant role in shaping our daily lives. While some argue that technological advancements have made our lives more convenient, others believe that the negative impacts of technology far outweigh the benefits. In my opinion, technology is a double-edged sword that has both positive and negative effects on our lives.On one hand, technology has revolutionized the way we live and work. The invention of smartphones, computers, and the internet has made communication more efficient and accessible. We can now connect with people around the world within seconds, access information at our fingertips, and even work remotely from the comfort of our homes. This level of convenience and connectivity would not have been possible without technology.However, the overreliance on technology has also brought about several negative consequences. People are becoming increasingly dependent on technology for everyday tasks, such as shopping, banking, and even socializing. This dependence can lead to a lack of face-to-face interactions and a decrease in social skills. Moreover, the constant use of technology can have adverse effects on our physical and mental health, such as eye strain, poor posture, and addiction to screens.In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedly made our lives more convenient, it is important to strike a balance between using technology as a tool and not letting it control our lives. By being mindful of the negative impacts of technology and using it responsibly, we can harness its benefits while minimizing its harm.Part 2: Sample AnswerDo you agree or disagree with the following statement: "All students should be required to learn a second language in school." Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Answer:I strongly agree with the statement that all students should be required to learn a second language in school. Learning a second language has numerous benefits that extend beyond just being able to communicate in another language.Firstly, learning a second language can improve cognitive skills and academic performance. Studies have shown that students who are bilingual or multilingual have better problem-solving skills, creativity, and critical thinking abilities. By learning a second language, students can enhance their memory, concentration, and overall brain function, which can help them excel in other subjects as well.Secondly, knowing a second language can open up a world of opportunities for students in terms of career prospects and cultural understanding. In today's globalized world, being able to speak more than one language is a valuable skill that can givestudents a competitive edge in the job market. Multinational companies are always on the lookout for employees who can communicate with clients and partners from different countries, and knowing a second language can greatly increase a student's career options.Furthermore, learning a second language can foster a sense of cultural awareness and appreciation. By studying a different language, students can gain insight into the customs, traditions, and values of other cultures, which can help them develop empathy, tolerance, and respect for diversity. In a world that is increasingly interconnected, being able to understand and empathize with people from different backgrounds is essential for promoting harmony and cooperation.In conclusion, requiring all students to learn a second language in school is crucial for their academic, professional, and personal development. By learning a second language, students can enhance their cognitive skills, career prospects, and cultural understanding, which will prepare them to thrive in a globalized society.。

Choose the correct word in one of the following three ways: according to the context, by using the correct form of the given word, or by using the given letter(s) of the word. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.The more you know about how words are formed, the (46) （）(speedy) your learning. Instead of memorizing each word (47) sep（）you start to notice patterns. You notice, perhaps, that nouns and verbs are identified by their endings or, if you are learning a languagewith characters, you notice that(48) （）(know) small units of meaning can help you to understand new and more complicated characters. Take, for example, the Chinese word for “rock”as the figure shows, the top start of thesymbol is the word for mountain; the lower part means stone, so that together they mean a rocky cliff. Once you know that, you will be able to understand many other words made up (49) those parts.The (50)（）(fix) phrases of the language are the groups of words which have a meaning of their own beyond the meaning of the individual words in them. In English, for example, native speakers know the (51) dif（）between putting someone down, putting them up, putting them off and so on, but these meanings are a nightmare for the language learner.The next level of language knowledge (52) rel（）to the way words are put together in sentences or utterances. We use the word utterances because of course when people speak they do not always speak in (53)（）(tradition) sentences. Together these rules make up (54)（）is called the syntax of a language.In many languages, word order plays a big part in meaning. In the sentence “Man bites dog,”we know who did the biting because of the word order. Change the order of the two nouns around and the man will (55)（）suffering the injuries.Part IV Reading Comprehension (30 marks)There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section A (10 marks)Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Smallpox is an acute, highly infectious disease, producing high fever and a pinkish rash of spots.When they dry up, they leave ugly scars on the skin. For centuries it killed the rich and poor alike, spreading fast when it took hold in an area, and often seriously disfiguring or blinding those sufferers who escaped death. It was not until 1980 that the World Health Organization declared that the disease was eradicated, after the final recorded case in Somalia in 1977.(56)（）It eventually offered reliable protection and caused smallpox to disappear completely. Jenner was born in 1749 and, after studying medicine, lived and worked as a doctor in a small village, Berkeley, in rural Gloucestersh ire. There he saw people suffering both from smallpox and from cowpox, a weaker, much less dangerous form of infection, frequently found in cows. He made the interesting observation that the local people who caught cowpox because of their daily contact with cattle did not catch smallpox, even if close friends and family were infected. By experimenting on local people, therefore, Edward Jenner was able to prove, in 1796, that injections of the cowpox virus could provide protection against smallpox. (57)（）Although other studies were being carried out elsewhere in Britain during the eighteenth century, Jenner made the clinical breakthrough. The immunity he provided against one of history’s most terrifying diseases brought him fame and fortune. (58) （）He was also given the freedom of the City of London in 1805, an honour not lightly granted. He died in 1823.Smallpox was not finally wiped out, however, until over a century later. By this time, vaccination had become a compulsory part of many countries’public health programmes. (59) （）This can be partly explained by the fact that complete eradication required a concerted effort from all countries.In the village of Berkeley, there is a museum which aims to remind people of Edward Jenner’s pioneering achievement. (60)（）Questions 56 to 60Choose from the sentences A—G the one which best fits each gap of 56—60. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.A. The lives of millions of people have been saved by his careful observa tion and clinical work.B. After a lifetime of hard work, Jenner finally retired to the country, still hoping for the recognition he felt he had earned.C. He was paid generous sums by the government when the authorities realized the importance of his achievement.D. It may seem surprising that Jenner’s great discovery was not fully exploited at the time.E. This process was called vaccination, from vacca, the Latin word for cow.F. The first symptoms of smallpox usually appear 12 to 14 days after you a re infected.G. Over two hundred years ago the English physician Edward Jenner discovered the process of vaccination.Section B (10 marks)Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.As the supply of genetically modified (GM) food increases, many people are unaware that some food they are eating is a product of the GM process. Scientists in a laboratory have artificially changed food by copying genes from one cell and putting them into another cell in order to achieve some supposedly desirable result.Nowadays, there are a variety of GM foods being produced—such as soybean, nuts, and potato. The reason for the modification process is to make these foods resistant to insects and viruses so that farmers don’t need to use much herbicide ( 除草剂). Taking the example of tomatoes, which are sensitive to the weather, they can be inserted with genes from a type of fish that lives in very cold seas so as to survive frost.Its supporters argue that GM technology is the future of food and has many advantages. They assert that because of GM food’s stronger resistance to nature’s forces, farmers can produce better harvests.Moreover, it can increase the worldwide supply of food, which can in turn help those areas suffering from food shortages. In addition, common food such as bananas and tomatoes can be injected with vaccines for illnesses to help prevent the spread of serious diseases.Nevertheless, there has been increased concern about the dangers of GM food. Some people have an unusual reaction to specific proteins called allergens (过敏原). Nuts and soybeans are two of the major sources of these allergies, and reactions to these foods can be life threatening. In addition, the ecosystem might be destroyed by the GM process—the practice of feeding animals with GM crops could lead to health problems related to growth or metabolism (新陈代谢).The U.S., Canada, and Argentina, the world’s three largest producers of GM foods, have challenged countries that protect against GM products. Meanwhile, the EU has urged for a wise and careful approach to this matter, labeling products containing GM elements, and some European companies have stopped using GM ingredients. GM food is a complex issue associated with both benefits and risks. The debate on it will continue until we fully examine the long-term consequences.Questions 61 to 65Answer the following questions according to the passage.61. How are genetically modified food produced?62. What is the function of the modification process?63. Where are the genes of GM tomatoes from?64. In what way is the ecosystem destroyed by the GM process?65. Which countries are the world’s three largest producers of GM foods?Section C (10 marks)Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage.Do you think you’re a good listener? Ch ances are you do. But studies show that most people seriously overestimate their ability to listen. The truth is we are generally not good at listening, and our listening comprehension declines as we age.This was proven by Dr. Ralph Nichols, a pioneer in the scientific study of listening behaviour. With the help of school teachers in Minnesota, he conducted a simple experiment to test students’ listening skills.He had teachers stop what they were doing mid- class, and then asked students to describe what their teachers had been talking about. You might assume that older kids, with more developed brains, would be better listeners. The results, however, showed otherwise: While 90 percent of first- andsecond-graders gave correct responses, this percentage dropped rapidly as the students got older. A little under half of junior high students could remember correctly, and only 25 percent of high school students got the answers right.So why aren’t we good at listening? One reason concerns the speed at which we think. The adult brain can process up to around 400 words per minute, more than three times faster than the speed an average person speaks. This means thatwe can easily think about something else while someone is talking to us, allowing our mind to wander or get sidetracked. Thinking about how you will reply while someone is still talking is one of the most common barriers to effective listening. The younger students in Dr. Nichols’s experiment were better listeners partly because their brains were less developed—they lacked the extra brain power to be distracted.Another factor that contributes to our poor listening is our ever-decreasing attention span. According to a study conducted by Microsoft, the age of smartphones has had a negative impact. In 2000—around the time the mobile revolution began—the average human attention span was 12 seconds. By 2013, it had fallen to 8 seconds.Our mobile devices also provide constant distractions, which can be very disruptive to listening. Test results have shown that being interrupted by a cell phone message lowers listening comprehension by 20 percent.Interruptions and other distractions, whether digital or more traditional, can cause a dramatic decline in listening ability—but they don’t have to. More and more people now realize that listening is a skill that can be developed through practice. Learning to observe a speaker’s body language and emotions, for example, can improve our active listening. Even the simple act of note-taking or making eye contact can help us stay focused while listening.Questions 66 to 70Complete the summary below with information from the passage, using no more than three words for each blank.Most people are not good at listening and their listening comprehension declines as they get older.
