AThe Best and Worst Things to Buy in MarchFrozen foodGrocery store ads aren't the only places to find deals on freezer-section treats. To take advantage of the deepest discounts, combine coupons (优惠券) from sponsoring brands, such as Dole, Green Giant and Tyson Foods, with grocery store sales. Plus, look for printable savings on Coupons. com and . Brands participating in National Frozen Food Month will offer more than 180, 000 coupons that make frozen food among the best things to buy in March.Boxed chocolatesIf you desire to give a gift to a friend in March, consider chocolate. Two minor holidays in March provide the perfect excuse: National Chocolate Caramel Day on March 19 and National Chocolate-Covered Raisin Day on March 24. You can discover chocolate deals online as well as in stores. Head to sites like to find discount coupons for boxed chocolate savings of 10 percent or more.New carsWith the latest car models filling dealers' lots, you'll have a hard time finding discounted models from the year before. Car dealerships are less motivated to offer steep discounts from March through May. Instead, plan to buy your car during the fall or winter. You should also research the auto you want at TrueCar before heading for the dealership. The site offersinformation on how much the previous buyers paid for the vehicles you want.Spring clothingWhen warm weather makes you want to head outdoors, resist the urge to do so wearing the latest fashions. You won't find March deals on swimsuits, Easter dresses or other spring items. To find discounts on clothes of this spring, hold off until Memorial Day weekend. You can also look for online and in-store savings at Amazon, Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue and other retailers.1．Which things offer discounts in March?A．Frozen food and new cars B．Boxed chocolates and new cars.C．Frozen food and boxed chocolates. D．Boxed chocolates and spring clothing. 2．What are the vehicle buyers advised to do?A．Register on a site in advance. B．Get discounts from car dealers.C．Consult some previous buyers. D．Make purchases at the right time. 3．Where is the passage most likely from?A．A journal B．A guidebook C．A catalogue D．An advertisementBStaying connectedWhen Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close because of the fear of novel corona-virus(冠状病毒) exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.But still, the change from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was jarring.“I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,” Chen said.The corona-virus has changed everyone’s lives, but for students, the disruption feels particularly serious. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were put off. Summer plans, such as camps, are up in the air.But right now, many students are trying to stay connected, struggling with false information, and finding out the best ways they can help – through online method.For Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia, the best wayto help was to create a “social distancing promise” for young people.“I saw a lot of young people not paying attention,” he said. “They were … still going out, hanging out with others. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger people, who were possibly not watching the news.”Harycki started a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that followed and kept the locations of people who’d signed the promise. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Harycki knows that hi s peers are worried they can’t connected with their friends in the same way, so he created the social distancing promise to strengthen that although everyone might be physically distant, they’re still connected.“Part of what we’re showing is that you might feel like you’re the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that you’re not alone,” he said.4．What does the underlined word “jarring” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．natural B．necessary C．worrying D．reasonable 5．Who does Harycki mainly want to reach?A．Friends who are worried and bored. B．Young people not aware of the situation.C．Younger students trying to help. D．People taking the corona-virus seriously．6．What’s Harycki’s purpose in creating the “social distancing promise”?A．To order young people to stay at home.B．To follow those infected with the corona-virus.C．To tell young folks of latest news about the corona-virus.D．To show young people that they are still connected.7．Why does the author describe Andrew Chen’s experience in the text?A．To explain what worried students most when schools closed.B．To show the different views of students toward the corona-virus.C．To show how the corona-virus affected students’ lives.D．To explain the proper reaction to the close of school.CAccording to the Study Abroad Trend Report for 2018, conducted by Chinese education website Eol. cn, the number of Chinese students who study abroad to gain a bachelor’s degreeor below is rising, and the current group of Chinese overseas students is younger than those in the past years.Du Xiying, a Beijing-based study-abroad agent, has first-hand experience working with this younger crop of students. “When I started this job some 10 years ago, almost all cases were filed by college graduates trying to apply for a master's degree in the US, UK, Australia and Canada,” said Du. “Now quite a number of my clients are high school graduates, and my company even employed some experienced consultants to satisfy the increasing need of college-bound Chinese studen ts.” However, in the eyes of Du, most of them are not ready to put themselves in a completely different context at such a young age. Although there are no statistics available, according to Du’s observations, college-bound high school graduates from China fall into two groups. There is a group of students from well-off families, with good grades and excellent command of English, and there is another group who did not do very well in their college entrance exams, so they seek to study abroad as a solution to their troubles. “In recent years, with the financial ability of Chinese families growing with the country's development, buying into college is very common,” said Du.Complaints come from both destination schools in the US and parents of students. Going abroad at a young age needs a great deal of discipline(自律),and college students don't usually live at home-stays so they are free from management. A considerable quantity of students have ended with being dismissed(开除).As to the dismissal issue, Du said it’s inevitable due to the large number of students crowding abroad. It’s just not easy to ensure quality. But she does think both students and parents should be responsible for their own investment of both time and money. “The worst case is that a family throws out 1 million yuan for their child to come home with nothing, not even fluent English,”said Du.8．What change is mentioned in paragraph 1 and paragraph 2?A．The age of Chinese students studying abroad is getting younger.B．More Chinese students studying abroad are getting a master’s degree.C．Excellent students prefer studying abroad to taking college entrance exams.D．Chinese students’ grades are improving due to professional consultants’ help. 9．Which opinion does Du probably agree with?A．Most young students are qualified to study abroad.B．Buying into schools could be a good solution to stud ents’ problems.C．Destination schools should be responsible for the management of students.D．Parents and students should be cautious about the decision to study abroad. 10．Why do some students fail in their oversea study?A．They are not financially supported.B．They are rejected by destination schools.C．They can't live up to their parents’ expectations.D．They can't live and study abroad independently.11．What does the underlined word “inevitable” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Can’t be avoided.B．Can’t b e ignored.C．Can’t be realized.D．Can’t be predicted.DAt 9: 30 am. on a Wednesday morning, I received a notification (通知) that I’d already picked up my phone 30 times that day! “11 left until you go over your goal of 41 pickups,” my screen read. “Put your phone down until 9: 52 a. m. ! Enjoy your time living in the moment.”These updates were sent via Moment, an app that tracks my screen time, created by Kevin Holesh in 2014 to fight his own device addiction. He was working as an independent app developer, spending hours each day staring at screens. After work, Holesh found that he was looking mindlessly online instead of talking to his wife or taking his dogs for a walk.“I wanted a way of seeing how much time I was sinking into my phone,” he said. “So I came up with something that could monitor my screen time.” Holesh found that he was spending 75 minutes on his phone a day. He added a function to the app that informed him whenever his screen time was more than 40 minutes. “My phone would make a sound l ike a bee, and I’d go and do something else. It was like a little angel on my shoulder pushing me in the right direction,” he said. Holesh figured that if the system worked for him, it would work for others, and later that year he made Moment a free app. To date, it has been downloaded 8 million times.Besides, Moment also has a “coach” function, offering guided programs to help users focus and be more productive, for $ 7. 99 a month.“I am so much happier, I sleep better, I read more, I take better care of myself, and most of all I am present in my day-to-day life,” Jack, a user said. Similar comments on Moment reflect a growing consciousness around “digital wellness”, the name given to lifestyle practices that encourage healthy device use.12．What does the inspiration of Moment come from?A．The creator’s own experience.B．The sound made by honey bees.C．Complaints from family members. D．The widespread digital addiction. 13．What does Moment do at the expected screen time?A．Monitor the screen and keep a record. B．Make a noise to remind the user.C．Turn off the phone immediately. D．Force the user to take a rest. 14．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4?A．Persuade readers to buy the app. B．Provide readers with some advice.C．Recommend a coach to the readers. D．Introduce more information of the app. 15．In which part of a website will you find this text?A．Fashion and Business. B．Sports and Entertainment.C．Health and Lifestyle. D．Art and Design.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Nowadays, there has been a growing trend that a great number of parents would like to send their child abroad for the sake of their future. Some even go so far as to make the kid take foreign primary edu cation at an early age. And such children are given a special name, “Parachute Kids”. It’s beyond argument that parents are willing to exert all their energies in preparing a bright prospect for their honey. Yet I stoutly object to the unadvisable practice above.In my opinion, kids are too young to resist temptations and adverse influence of other countries. Drugs, i nternet addiction, violence and so forth are a big threat to the child’s sound development. For instance, a group of children were sent to the USA at public expenses in the late Qing Dynasty. What many of them had learned wasn’t the knowledge to save the nation, but bad behaviors of westerners like disobeying the rules. By contrast, the risk of being exposed to vicious habits at home is relatively low due to the strict supervision from both the parents and the schools. Whether the foreign education mode is suitable for kids should be the question that parents consider over and over again. Take the USA for example. There’s no doubt that its higher education is excellent. Yet elementary education seems far from satisfactory. Americans prefer independent learning process, which means less control and has caused a series of discipline-related problems. Therefore, the disadvantages clearly outweigh the advantages as for the only Parachute Kid. And I believe it is Chinese education that will lay solid foundations for Chinese children especially at their early age.The next factor to take into consideration lies in the family conditions. While a few families have formed a concrete and detailed cultivation scheme, most of them are just copycats following the trend blindly. Such examples are not rare that a family run out of money to support their kids to receive the foreign education, whereas the child turns out to be less successful than expected. Mindful of the listed reasons, I strongly suggest the parents have their kid study basic knowledge at home and go to receive further education abroad later.Should Students Go Abroad for Study at an Early Age?These years have witnessed a trend where Chinese parents send their very young kids abroad for study. Kids’ brighter future is their shared goal.To be candid, I subscribe to parents’ choice. As for the reason, I’ll give top priority to the better education system. Since education in China lays too much stress on scores, kids are excessively buried in books all the time. By contrast, western schools emphasize integrated development and create more attractive study atmosphere.Maybe most of the parents’ concern lies in whether kids will feel isolated or not without parents around. But to our relief, majority of the students interviewed expressed their homesickness but also admitted their fitting in quite well. As you can see, leaving young kids abroad alone in new surroundings effectively fosters their independence and ability to adapt.Besides, partly because of kid’s being open to fresh things, life abroad not only improves their English but broadens their views to build up a positive outlook on the world. Therefore, those kids gain a upper hand either in academic field or in fierce job market.Whatever the reason, students’ going abroad for study is advisable and parents should let them go and let them grow.Nowadays, the phenomenon that an increasing number of students go abroad for study, especially to the USA and Britain, at an early age has aroused public attention and triggered a heated discussion. Partly because of the concern over children’s further development, partly because of families’ urge to live abroad, parents are determined to send their dear kids, who are just studying in middle school or even primary school, to a distant country.For some youngsters, this chance will be productive as they can blend in the English-speaking social environment as well as the educational system faster than adults. Besides, their way of independent thinking will be shaped at an early age, which may benefit their whole life time. Conversely, it can be a miserable time if children can’t fit in such an unfamiliar situation because they may feel isolated, resentful and bitter without parents around them. To make matters worse, they might stray from the path as a result of searching for unknown world under the circumstance of no one guiding them. In this case, the decision on sending children abroad will spoil them instead.From my point of view, it is not advisable for students to go abroad to study at a very early age as a majority of them lack the sense of self-discipline and the ability of making a clear judgment. Of supreme importance should be the quality of children’s growth, not just where to study. Therefore, it will be preferable for parents to care for their kids when they are still young and send them abroad when they are mature enough, maybe in high school or university.。

She had her corneas(眼角膜) donated to two men who needed them, which helped them seethe world clearly again.Yao was born in a music family on Sept. 26, 1981 in Wuhan. She started to learn thepiano at the age of 4, and she sang her first song on the stage when she was 9 years old.Yao did quite well in singing, so she took part in the thirteenth Youth Singing Competition and won the first prize.She became well-known to the public after making a series of songs for the hit TV drama “The Legend of Zhenhuan” in 2012, and the mandarin version(中文版本) of “Let It Go” from Disney’s “Frozen”. In July 2013, she competed in The Voice of China II and finally got the second place in Na Ying’s team. She had won a lot of music awards before she was famous.Yao Beina was unfortunate to be diagnosed(诊断) with breast cancer(乳腺癌) and had a successful operation in 2011. Since then, she has fought against the disease for about four years while keeping singing, but sadly she failed. She originally thought of donating all of her organs(器官) to save others’lives, but failed to do it because of her serious illness.She’s gone, even though she had never stopped struggling with cancer. Heaven just got another beautiful angel, with her beautiful voice and kindness.31. Yao Beina had her __________ donated to save others.A. two corneasB. all organsC. heartD. kidney32.

Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure andthose who have climbed unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across thegreatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who seek (寻找) a risky activity, which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.Bungee jumping is a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place 200 meters above the ground with an elastic (有弹力的) rope tied to your feet. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is reported that two million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping.Why do people take part in such activities like this? Some psychologists (心理学家) suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. In ancient times, people had to face danger and difficulties. They had to go out and hunt for food. Diseases could not easily be cured, and there was a continuous battle for survival (生存).Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe environments; they buy food in shops; there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. It is necessary for some of these people to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping.36. Why do people tie their feet with an elastic rope in bungee jumping?A. Because it’s more exciting.B. Because it’s interesting.C. Because it can protect people.D. Because it’s very high.37. How many people have tried bungee jumping?A. More than 150.B. About 200.C. Few people.D. 2,000,000.38.

People in ancient times could be looked after well.B. People in ancient times had to hunt for food.C. Today people’s life is safe.D. Some people think that life today is boring.40 What is the best topic (题目) of the passage?A. How to Keep FitB. Sports and HealthC. Sports Activities in HistoryD. Dangerous Sports ActivitiesCIn March 2014, Australia opened junior high education to Chinese students, allowing them to study in Australian schools from the seventh grade.“When more Chinese students are going to study abroad at a younger age, the opening of Australian junior high schools offers Chinese students and their parents one more good choice,” Tian Litie, director of the Australian Department of Chivast Education International, said at the China International Education Exhibition Tour over the weekend.Australia will see a rise in the number of Chinese junior and senior high school students studying in the country. Tian showed the reasons for it: lower admission (入学许可) requirements and low-cost education because of a favorable exchange rate (费率). According to Tian, in public schools in Australia a student should pay A$13,000 to A$15,000 ($10,000 to $12,000) a year.“Now the exchange rate of the Australian dollar to renminbi is below five, which means the cost is lower than that of Chinese students studying at junior and senior high schools in many other hot places, such as Britain and the US,” said Tian.Lin Lina from Beijing plans to send her daughter to a senior high school in Australia, was among them.“My daughter is good at English and would like to study abroad early,” said Lin, whose daughter is now a ninth-grader in Beijing. “We came for more information after we learned that the environment and education in Australia are good.”Eliza Chui, education officer for North Asia at the Australian Consulate-General in Shanghai, said that Australia is attractive not only because it provides an environment for learning English, but also because students are trained to have critical (批判性的) thinking and be independent.41. According to Tian Litie, we know that ______.A. more and more Chinese students study abroad at a younger ageB. more and more Australian universities are open to Chinese studentsC. Chinese students are only allowed to study in Australia from senior high schoolD. a student should pay A$10,000 to A$12,000 a year in public schools in Australia42. What does the word “it” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Australia allows Chinese students to study in its schools.B. More and more Chinese students go abroad at a younger age.C. More Chinese junior and senior high school students will study in Australia.D. Australian schools offer Chinese students and their parents one more good choice.43. Lin Lina plans to send her daughter to Australia because ______.A. her daughter has travelled to Australia beforeB. she can’t afford to send her daughter to other countriesC. her daughter is an independent student with critical thinkingD. she learned that the environment and education in Australia are good44. According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?A. The cost of studying in American schools is lower than in Australia.B. The exchange rate of the Australian dollar is of advantage to Chinese students.C. It’s more difficult for Chinese students to enter Australian junior high schools.D.

Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marksHistorical Debate on Animal ExperimentationAs the experimentation on animals increased, especially the practice of vivisection, so did criticism and controversy. In 1655，the advocate of Galenic physiology Edmund O’Meara said tha t "the miserable torture of vivisection places the body in an unnatural state.”O'Meara and others argued that animal physiology could be affected by pain during vivisection, rendering results unreliable. There were also objections on an ethical basis, contending that the benefit to humans did not justify the harm to animals. Early objections to animal testing also came from another angle--many people believed that animals were inferior to humans and so different that results from animals could not be applied tohumans.On the other side of the debate, those in favor of animal testing held that experiments on animals were necessary to advance medical and biological knowledge. Claude Bernard-----who is sometimes known as the "prince of vivisectors " and the father of physiology, and whose wife, Marie Francoise Martin, founded the first anti-vivisection society in France in 1883 -----famously wrote in 1865 that "the science of life is a superb and dazzlingly lighted hall which may be reached only by passing through a long and ghastly kitchen". Arguing that "experiments on animals…are entirely conclusive for the toxicology and hygiene of man... the effects of these substances are the same on man as on animals, save for differences in degree", Bernard established animal experimentation as part of the standard scientific method.模拟题二Read carefully the following excerpt on first-tier cities livability in China, and then write your response in no less than 200 words, in which you should1.summarize the main message of the excerpt, and thenment on whether young people should choose the first-tier cities as their dwelling placeYou should support yourself with information from the excerpt.Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization, language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marksFirst-tier Cities Are Barely LivableMost first-tier cities in China are barely suitable for living due to their poor ecological environment, despite rapid economic development and preferential regulations for investment, said a newly released report by a top Chinese think tank on SundayFirst-tier cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, failed to make the list of habitable cities even though they are in the top 10 in terms of commercial advantages, unification of city and countryside, and culture development, according to a report on China’s urban competitiveness from the National Academy of Economic Strategy under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Beijing ranks best in terms of academic resources and intellectual atmosphere, second-best in business environment and sustainability, and third in cultural industry. But it dropped to 74th and 119th in habitable and ecological environment, the report saidHuang Hui, a 27-year-old software engineer from Beijing, said he found the report objective". "Beijing has the best medical, academic resources compared with other cities, but it's not necessarily the best choice when it comes to being habitable, "he said.I’m proud of the cultural diversification in the city，but it’s a pity that Beijing sacrifices the most basic essentials，air and water，simply in exchange for all the rapid development.”In the past decade, there have been mounting problems in cities nationwide, including traffic jams, housing tension and food safety issuesHowever, many first-tier cities, despite their outstanding competitiveness, are barely people-oriented and hardly satisfactory in ecological protection, LI said.High housing prices have become the main reason that some cities are increasingly uninhabitable". With other reasons including poor air quality and traffic congestion, he said.According to the report, livability is the primary and most basic function of a city and plays a key role in upgrading urban competitiveness.模拟题三Read carefully the following excerpt on overseas study in an early age among Chinese students, and then write your response in no less than 200 words, in which you should1.summarize the main message of the excerpt, and thenment on whether Chinese students should study abroad at a younger ageYou should support yourself with information from the excerpt.Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.More Students Choose to Study AbroadIndustry experts pointed out that there is a prevailing trend of Chinese students studying overseas at a younger age.This trend is reflected in the fact that the number of Chinese students sitting the college entrance exam is in a downward trendIn Beijing, it is the fifth year in a row that the numbers have fallen. About 76, 000students signed up to take the exam this year, down 6 percent from a year earlier, marking the lowest ever application level, according to Beijing Education Examination Authority.So, what is behind the lowering age of overseas Chinese students?First, going abroad is an alternative to the national college entrance exam, which has long been described as a stampede of "thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of horses across a single log bridge”.“The enormous pressure will definitely harm a child’s physical and mental health, and I don’t think it's worthwhile that all the hard work goes into a one-time exam,” he added.Lu Jun, a senior consultant at Chivast Education International Co. which is the first approved intermediary agency by the Ministry of Education, said most Chinese parent firmly believe that the younger their children go abroad, the sooner they get accustomed to the local cultural and social environmentStudying abroad can cultivate young students to be more independent and more adaptable to new environments. These abilities will help them in job-hunting in the future, said LuIn the next decade, the population of China's middle class will reach some 400 million from its current 150 million, according to the Boston Consulting Group forecast.模拟题四Read carefully the following excerpt on job-hopping, and then write your response in no less than 200 words, in which you should1.summarize the main message of the excerpt, and thenment on whether job-hopping is a good thing.You should support yourself with information from the excerpt.Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Is Job-hopping a Good Thing?Changing jobs every couple of years is the new norm among Chinese graduates. A survey conducted by Peking University and Ganji. com, the leader of domestic classified websites, shows that nearly half of young graduates born after 1990 plan to stick to their first jobs for only one year“I see no reason to remain loyal to an employer who doesn’t reciprocate. I want stability, but I'm not willing to waste 5 years of my life working for a company when I have no opportunity of advancement, low pay, a poor environment, and zero benefits. If companies want us to stick around, they have to give us a reason to stay.“Job-hopping is good, maybe for the person since it gives him the chance to enhance his skills in different jobs. It also helps him search for the job he really likes and develops the knowledge of such a job.”I think job-hopping is necessary for people who are ambitious and want to have a bright future. It's especially very popular among young people if they think they cannot get any prospects of opportunity, promotion and fair treatment like salary or Position. Yes, if it is the case, I think it's the time for them to change to another job. As for me, I prefer to quit my Job to find another job, since the salary is not enough even to support my family. And my boss doesn't treat me well so I have no loyalty to this company.”模拟题五Read carefully the following excerpt on the effects of part-time jobs on students, and then write your response in no less than 200 words, in which you should1.summarize the main message of the excerpt, and thenment on whether college students should have part-time jobs in their college days.You should support yourself with information from the excerpt.Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.The Effects of Part-time Jobs on StudentsWhile academics are the main focus of college students, many will also spend their college years in part-time employment. In the report "Student Employment and Higher Education: Empiricism and Contradiction”, members of the American Educational Research Association reported that more than 50 percent of students attending four-year colleges work part time. The reasons for working may vary ---earning funds for tuition or spending money ----but many benefits exist beyond the paycheck Classroom learning is important, but the culture of workplaces and offices is hard to impart within the classroom. Holding down a regular position outside the classroom will allow students to gain firsthand experience in office culture and politics, which will be helpful upon graduation and their first full-time jobIn today's weak economy, it is even more crucial for students to make as many valuable connections as possible. Working part time for a campus office or off-campus organization will allow students to network outside their social circles, giving them valuable recommendations and contacts for their full-time job search.Many on-campus part-time jobs will give students an opportunity to learn administrative skills, such as phone and email etiquette, office electronics troubleshooting and meeting manners. Gaining such skills while in school will place a student-employee ahead of the curve when they enter the full-time workforce.模拟题六Read carefully the following excerpt on people’s arguments on pros and cons of advertising, and then write your response in no less than 200 words, in which you should1.summarize the main message of the excerpt, and thenment on the debate and give your ideasYou should support yourself with information from the excerpt.Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality.

Some people contend that advertising has positive impacts on society while others think it also has negative influences. The following are some of the supporters' and opponents opinions.“Daily life needs advertisements because the main function of advertising is to disseminate information on commodities, services, culture, employment, student enrollment and even marriage.”“Advertisements can help people save a lot of time in shopping, looking for jobs, etc.”“Advertisements enable us to know more alternatives while purchasing a particular item and enjoy more satisfactory and reliable services.”While opposing voices can also be heard as follows:“Advertisements sometimes mislead consumers with exaggerated and dishonest claims and provide false information. Fake advertising cheats consumers and, in some serious cases, threaten people s lives.”People are more easily bombarded by various advertisements on the Internet, and they are so inundated with banner ads and spam email that they have begun to ignore internet advertising just as much as ads on traditional media. Sometimes, some virus brought by online ads will not only bring risks to the system of computer, worse still, some unhealthy advertisements would exert negative influences on people psychologicall y.”“One disadvantage of advertising on the Internet is that your marketing materials are automatically available for anyone in the world to copy, regardless of the legal ramifications. Logos, images and trademarks can be copied and used for commercial purposes, or even to slander or mock your company.”模拟题七Read carefully the following excerpt on idol worship among young people in China, and then write your response in no less than 200 words, in which you should1.summarize the main message of the excerpt, and thenment on the phenomenon of die-hard fans of “little fresh flesh”.You should support yourself with information from the excerpt.Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality.

They believe it is insane and unreasonable for a person to be excited about a stranger, "she said.“But in fact, celebrity worship is the same as a hobby. Fans can feel happy and empowered from their hobby. Collectors are brain-damaged fans of antiques. For young people, what excites them are usually celebrities.”Miss Wang said most of the die-hard fans of these "little fresh flesh" are students who have a plenty of spare me, and about 99 percent are girls. She expects their celebrity worship will fade as soon as they graduate and go into the working world.模拟题八Read carefully the following excerpt on safety of genetically modified food, and then write your response in no less than 200 words, in which you should1.summarize the main message of the excerpt, and thenment on whether we should advocate genetically modified food or not..You should support yourself with information from the excerpt.Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Genetically Modified Food: Are They Safe?Two years ago in Edinburgh, Scotland, eco--vandals stormed a field, crushing canola plants. Last year in Maine, midnight raiders hacked down more than 3,000 experimental popular trees, And in San Diego, protesters smashed sorghum and sprayed paint over greenhouse walls.This far-flung outrage took aim at genetically modified crops. But the protests backfired: all the destroyed plants were conventionally bred. In each case, activists mistook ordinary plants for GM varieties.It's easy to understand why. In a way, GM crops ----now on some 109 million acres of farmland worldwide ----are invisible. You can’t see, taste or touch a gene inserted into a plant or sense its effects on the environment, You can’t tell, just by looking, whether pollen containing a foreign gene can poison butterflies or fertilize plants miles away. That invisibility is precisely what worries people. How, exactly, will GM crops affect the environment----and when will we notice?Advocates of GM, or transgenic, crops say the plants will benefit the environment by requiring fewer toxic pesticides than conventional crops. But critics fear the potential risks and wonder how big the benefits really are. "We have so many questions about these plants, "remarks Guenther Stotzky, a soil microbiologist at New York University. “There’s a lot we don't know and need to find out.”As GM crops multiply in the landscape, unprecedented numbers of researchers have started fanning into the fields to get the missing information. Some of their recent findings are reassuring; others suggest a need for vigilance.模拟题一参考范文For many people the issue of using animals for science is black and white: either pro-animal rights, or very much in favor of using animals since we are the highest level creature.After analyzing the two contrasting viewpoints，we can summarize them as follows. Some people say that using animals in experiment is of great value and can promote the advance of medical science which is significant to the whole society. Others, however, deem that this behavior is not only inhuman but also forbidden by law. In addition, the research finding got by using animals in experimentation may be inappropriate and unreliable.As for me, I think both of them have some points, but we should never go to extremes. On the one hand, some higher-level animals share with us feelings, thoughts and behaviors and so we should look after them and respect them. If we are so unsure about the effects of a drug, then we should do further chemical testing before doing live and cruel animal testing. After all, few people are inherently cruel, and it is much more acceptable to test the drugs on a monkey than on a person. In short, being cruel for the sake of being cruel and with no tangible results to show for it is definitely stepping over a boundary of acceptable behavior, but at other times if the benefits of the research are explicit, tangible and valuable then I feel that the research is justified.第一段，作者首先承认在是否可以把动物用于科学试验这个问题上存在明显分歧，既有人支持也有人反对。

专四英语作文精选10篇专四英语作文篇一Nowadays there are many college students who choose to start their own undertakings instead of ?nding a job after graduation. The government encourages this practice, and provides many preferential policies and facilitation measures for college students. As far as I’m concerned, an array of integrated factors contributes to this.The ?rst factor that should be mentioned is that college students are facing severe employment situations. Many college graduates couldn’t find ideal jobs, which forces them to set up their own businesses. Another equally important factor is that some ambitious college students are not satisfied with being employed by others. They want to develop and prove their talents by running their own panies.Besides, the government’s encouragement and the media’s reports on college students venture stars have stimulated more college students’ enthusiasm to take this way.As for me, it is a good choice for college students to start their own undertakings. However, it is a very difficult cause, which needs firm determination, clear mind, the ability to endure hardship and a feasible project. Therefore, they should think it over and make full preparation before deciding to start their own businesses.专四作文优秀篇二I definitely believe that a regular amount of suitable daily exercise is an important factor in maintaining ones health. The focus is on the word “suitable" because a persons age and physical condition can dictate the type and amount of exercise that is appropriate.There is a wide variety of exercise routines available to suit people of all ages and condition but it is wise to seek the advice of a doctor before taking on a fitness program that may not be suitable: The growth of fitness studios in the big cities has made it easier for busy people to work out a program to fit their time schedule. Most of these studios are staffed with petent and qualified professionals who can tailor a fitness program to best suit one’s needs. Some people rely on sport to provide the exercise they need but some sports carry a risk of injury. People who lead m.xiezuowen a sedentary life that does not involve much physical activity can offset this through isometric exercises. While the professional studios e equipped with all the latest machines and aids, there are plenty of ways a person can get sufficient exercise without incurring the cost associated with studio fees. Walking or riding a bike are excellent sources of providing free exercise but one of the most popular is the regular practice of the Tai Chi movements.In conclusion, daily exercise is important for health and there are many ways to do this which cost little amounts of money.专四英语作文篇三Books are close friends of humanity. They can arm us with knowledge and information we need to make success of life. Through books we can obtain skills and techniques for survival and development. Through books we can enlighten our spirits and live a fuller life. There are generally two ways in which we can have access to books: borrowing or buying. While millions are borrowing books, I still think buying them best suits me and gives me the greatest enjoyment.Admittedly, there are a few merits for borrowing books. For one thing, borrowing books cansave us huge amounts of money. And of course, with the money saved we can do other more worthy things .And also, as we borrow books from the library and friends, we normally have deadline to finish them, and consequently we can read more books in a limited time. And we can, above all, better our efficiency of our reading, just as a famous Chinese saying goes, “books can not be read unless borrowed.”However, some advantages for buying books are more obvious and pelling. One of them, definitely not shared by the choice of borrowing books, is the abundance of freedom that buying books can offer us. Since we can keep the books as long as we wish, we can read as much as we want. Another strength of owing books is that we can take whatever notes on the margin of the pages of the books. And finally, the process of selecting and keeping books can be a great fun that borrowing books can by no means offer.While borrowing books can, to some extent, quench our thirst for knowledge, buying books gives us greater pleasure of selecting and keeping the best of the world treasure. Can we think of any thing else more delightful and rewarding?英语专业四级作文篇四Nowadays, with the development of economic, more and more people have the ability to give a better education to their children. And in their eyes, study overseas is better in the domestic school. So, there are plenty of people send their kids to study abroad in a young age. They think they are doing good things for their baby. But I don’t agree with them. Going to study abroad at young age is not good for young kids.如今，随着经济的发展，越来越多的人有能力为自己的孩子提供更好的教育。

3.我的看法。

Fighting for the CertificatesStudents graduating from college and entering the real world often encounter a hostile employment environment. Jobs can be difficult to acquire, especially when there is a lot of competition. Some students try to get an edge on their peers by earning extra certifications; I believe this is an excellent idea. (开篇指出考证的原因)It can be difficult to differentiate oneself in a crowded job market. Employment can be scarce, especially during an economic downturn like the one we are currently experiencing. Anything that sets a new graduate apart from his or her peers is a welcome advantage, particularly if it’s a skill or trade that is in high demand.（我的看法）Of course, there is a danger in spreading oneself too thin. Specializing in a specific area of work is the reason college majors and minors were created. One must be careful not to ignore one’s major or minor studies in pursuit of these certifications.（给出建议）Passage 21.在大学，有一定数量的学生学习驾驶小汽车。
