farm from the city developers that their fatherworked on since he was14.While she is confident they will succeed.she lists farming's many challenges:"You don't often get a day off.Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keepprices down.With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating."she said."There is a highrate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"Oliver Robinson.25,grew up on a farm in Yorkshire.But he never considered staying onhis father and grandfather's land."I'm sure Dan hoped I'd stay,"he said."I guess it's a nice, straightforward life,but it doesn't appeal.For young ambitious people,farm life would be a hard world."For Robinson.farming doesn't offer much in terms of money or lifestyle.Hollins agreesthat economics stops people from

are becoming popular because.A.thousands of farms are closedB.farmers are the owners of the marketsC.more people are concerned about healthy foodD.Jamie Oliver's2005campaigns urge people to"Buy BritisW'Passage3No one knows exactly how many disabled people(残疾人)there arc in the word.but estimates suggest the figure is over450million.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom.about one in ten people have some disability.Disability is not just something hat happens to other people:as we get older.many of us will become less mobile.hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life.Some people are born with disabilities.Many others become disabled as they get older.There are many progressive disabling diseases.The longer time goes on.the worse they become.Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people's attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps,or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?Butthere are other barriers:prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all.It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through.so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability.not their disability,which counts.46.The first paragraph tells us that.A.the number of disabled people in India is the greatestB.there are less than450million disabled people in the worldC.there are more than450million disabled people in the worldD.the number of disabled people in India is equal to the total population of Canada47.The key word in paragraph4is_A.DisabilityB.IgnoranceC.prejudiceD.barriers48.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.There are about10percent disabled people in the UK_B.There still exists prejudice against the disabled because of ignorance.C.Even the able-bodied might lose some of their body functions when they get older.D.The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.49.The clause"which counts"in the last paragraph means that_.A.ability is the most importantB.disability is consideredC.disability is includedD.barrier is the most important50.It can be concluded from the passage that_A.we should try our best to prevent disablementB.we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledC.both physical and mental barriers are hard to break downD.the able-bodied will never fully understand the disabledPassage4It is really a surprise that after hundreds of years,educationists have still failed to design anything more efficient and reliable than examinations.It is claimed that examinations test what you know,but it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite.They may be a good means of testing memory,or the skills of working rapidly under extreme pressure,but they can tell you nothing about a person's true ability.As anxiety-makers.examinations are second to none.That is because so much depends on them.They are the mark of success or failure in our society.Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day.No one can show his best in worry,or after a sleepless night,yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do.A good education should,among other things,train you to think for yourself.The examination system however,does anything but that.What has to be learnt is laid down by a syllabus(教学大纲).so the student is encouraged to memorize.Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely,and they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge.Furthermore.teachers themselves are often judged by the results of their students'examinations.Consequently,they have to train their students to master exam techniques which they dislike.They most successful candidates are not always the best educated but the best trained..The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment bysome anonymous(匿名的)examiners.They certainly make mistakes.because they have tomark mountains of scripts(答卷)in a limited amount of time.They work under the same sortof pressure as the candidates.51.The main idea of this passage is that examinations are.A.anxiety-makersB.harmful to educationC.reliable and efficientD.good measures of memory52.It is clear that the author examinations.95A.argues forB.argues againstC.is interested inD.is indifferent to53.The fate of students is decided by_according to the passage.A.examinationcationC.teachingD.learning54.According to the author,the most importance of a good education is to.A.encourage students to read widelyB..teach students how to tackle examsC.train students to think on their ownD.encourage students to seek more knowledge55.Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Examinations can make students anxious.B.The examiners might make mistakes in marking.C.Teachers'work is.judged based on the results of examinations.D.Tools better than examinations to test students'ability have been found.Part III Cloze(10%)When I come across a good article in reading newspapers.I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so I find the560n the opposite side is as much interesting.Itmay be a discussion of the way to57in good health.or a report about58tobehave and conduct oneself in society.If I cut the front article,the opposite one is likely t059 damage,leaving out

The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from the city developers that their father worked on since he was 14. While she is confident they will succeed. she lists farming's many challenges: "You don't often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating." she said. "There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"Oliver Robinson. 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather's land. "I'm sure Dan hoped I'd stay," he said. "I guess it's a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn't appeal. For young ambitious people, farm life would be a hard world." For Robinson. farming doesn't offer much in terms of money or lifestyle.

Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on. the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through. so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability. not their disability, which counts.46. The first paragraph tells us that .A. the number of disabled people in India is the greatestB. there are less than 450 million disabled people in the worldC. there are more than 450 million disabled people in the worldD. the number of disabled people in India is equal to the total population of Canada47. The key word in paragraph 4 is _A. disabilityB. ignoranceC. prejudiceD. barriers48. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. There are about 10 percent disabled people in the UK_B. There still exists prejudice against the disabled because of ignorance.C. Even the able-bodied might lose some of their body functions when they get older.D. The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.49. The clause "which counts " in the last paragraph means that _ .A. ability is the most importantB. disability is consideredC. disability is includedD. barrier is the most important50. It can be concluded from the passage that _A. we should try our best to prevent disablementB. we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledC. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break downD. the able-bodied will never fully understand the disabledPassage 4It is really a surprise that after hundreds of years, educationists have still failed to design anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. It is claimed that examinations test what you know, but it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing memory, or the skills of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person's true ability.As anxiety-makers. examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. No one can show his best in worry, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do.A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The examination system however, does anything but that. What has to be learnt is laid down by a syllabus (教学大纲) . so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, and they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge. Furthermore. teachers themselves are often judged by the results of their students' examinations. Consequently, they have to train their students to master exam techniques which they dislike. They most successful candidates are not always the best educated but the best trained..The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous (匿名的) examiners. They certainly make mistakes. because they have to mark mountains of scripts (答卷) in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates.51. The main idea of this passage is that examinations are .A. anxiety-makersB. harmful to educationC. reliable and efficientD. good measures of memory52. It is clear that the author examinations.A. argues forB. argues againstC. is interested inD. is indifferent to53. The fate of students is decided by _ according to the passage.A. examinationB. educationC. teachingD. learning54. According to the author, the most importance of a good education is to .A. encourage students to read widelyB..teach students how to tackle examsC. train students to think on their ownD. encourage students to seek more knowledge55. Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Examinations can make students anxious.B. The examiners might make mistakes in marking.C. Teachers ' work is .judged based on the results of examinations.D. Tools better than examinations to test students' ability have been found.Part III Cloze (10%)When I come across a good article in reading newspapers. I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the 56 0n the opposite side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 57 in good health. or a report about 58 to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely t0 59 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 60 the title. Therefore. I should prepare 61 I start to cut. Or it will be halfway done when I find out the 62 result.63 two things are to be done at the same time. You can only take up one of them,the other has to wait or be 64 _ But you know the future is unpredictable----the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 65 . Thus you are caught in a 66 position and feel sad. How should the nice chances and brilliant ideas gather around all at once? What are you going to do when you 67 two things at the same time? It may happen that you life 68 greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.In fact that is what 69 is like. We are often . 70 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable 71 a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only 72 we get into another. The 73 may be more important than the latter and give rise to a dividcd mind. A famous philosopher 74 said "When one door shuts, another opens in life." So a casual choice may not be a 75 0ne.56.A. newspaper B. article C. text D. title57.A. get B. bring C. lead D. keep58.A. how B. when C. why D. what59.A. do B. reduce C. prevent D. cause60.A. on B. in C. off D. for61.A. because B. since C. after D. before62.A. satisfying B. regretful C. pleasant D. impossible63.A.

If you do, you must be an optimist〔乐观主义者〕. a leader. an acive person who enjoys life. people and excitement. Do you prefer greysand blues? Then you are probably quict. shy. and you would ratherfollow than lead You tend to be a pessimist <悲观主义者> . At least. this is what psychologists tell us. and they should know. because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have onhuman beings. They tell us. among other facts. that we do not choose our favourite clour as we growup-we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened youreyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colours do influence our moods------there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes mostpeoplefeel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to thesaddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the ThamesRiver. NearLondon. used to be the scene of more suicides <自杀> than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply; perhaps it would havefallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact thatfactory workers work better. harder. and have fewcr accidents when their machines arc painted orangerather than black or grey.36. The sentence "You would rather follow than lead" in paragraph l means that you would .A. like to lead followersB. be afraid of following othersC. be a member rather than a leaderD. like to be a leader rather than a follower37.

Those who mitted suicide preferred the bridge over the ThamesRiver to others because of itsA. shapeB. colourC. structureD. materials40. The main idea of the passage is that_ .A. colours affect people's moodB. colours affect people's characterC. bright colours make people more activeD. colours preference shows people's couragePassage 2Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-oldbrother Ben are fighting to save the farm from the city developers that their father worked on since hewas 14. While she is confident they will succeed. she lists farming's many challenges: "You don't oftenget a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer peopleworking on farms it can be isolating." she said. "There is a high rate of suicide and farming will nevermake you rich!"Oliver Robinson. 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his fatherand grandfather's land. "I'm sure Dan hoped I'd stay," he said. "I guess it's a nice, straightforward life,but it doesn't appeal. For young ambitious people, farm life would be a hard world." For Robinson.farming doesn't offer much in terms of money or lifestyle. Hollins agrees that economics stops peoplefrom pursuing farming rewards: "providing for a vital human need . while working outdoors withnature."Farming is a big political issue in the UK. "Buy British" campaigns encourage consumers not a buycheaper imported foods. The 2001 "foot and mouth crisis" closed thousands of farms, stopped meatexports, and raised public consciousness of troubles in British farming. Jamie Oliver's 2005 campaign toget children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue. This national concern brings hope for farmerspeting with powerful supermarkets. While most people buy foodfrom the big supermarkets.hundreds of independent Farmers' Markets are being popular.41 . Charlotte Hollins is talking about her feeling of a battle between "A. the poor and the richB. farmers and city developersC. young people and their parentsD. small markets and supermarkets42.

2012年广东专插本英语作文范文The Importance of Environmental ProtectionAs the world develops and industrializes, the environment is faced with increasing challenges. Environmental protection has become an important issue that affects the future of our planet. It is of critical importance that we take steps to protect the environment for the well-being of current and future generations.One of the main reasons why environmental protection is important is to preserve biodiversity. The Earth is home to a wide variety of plants, animals, and ecosystems, and all of these play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. When we destroy habitats or pollute the environment, we put these species at risk of extinction, which can have widespread and long-lasting consequences.In addition to biodiversity, environmental protection is also important for human health. Air and water pollution can have severe impacts on human health, leading to respiratory problems, waterborne diseases, and other health issues. By taking steps to reduce pollution and protect natural resources, we can improve public health and quality of life.Furthermore, environmental protection is vital for mitigating climate change. The burning of fossil fuels and deforestation have led to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, which in turn has caused global temperatures to rise. This has resulted in more frequent and severe weather events, rising sea levels, and other environmental impacts. By reducing our carbon footprint and investing in renewable energy sources, we can slow down the rate of climate change and lessen its effects.In order to achieve effective environmental protection, it is necessary for individuals, communities, and governmentsto work together. Individuals can take simple actions such as reducing energy consumption, recycling, and using public transportation. Communities can organize clean-up events, plant trees, and advocate for environmentally friendly policies. Governments can enact and enforce regulations to reduce pollution, protect natural habitats, and promote sustainable development.In conclusion, environmental protection is a critical issue that requires immediate attention and action. By preserving biodiversity, safeguarding human health, and mitigating climate change, we can ensure the long-term health and sustainability of our planet. It is our collective responsibility to work towards a healthier and more sustainable environment for ourselves and future generations.。

Before entering a house in some Asian countries, it is g ood manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very muddy, this is not done. A guest in a Chinese house sometimes does not finish a drink. He leaves a little, to show that he has had en ough. In a Malay house, too, a guest always leaves a littl e food. In England, a guest always finishes a drink to sho w that he enjoys it.We should like to find out the customs of other races, so that they will not think us ill-mannered. But people all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means b eing kind and helping others, especially those older or weak er than ourselves. If you remember this, you will not go v ery far wrong.Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered p erson does or does not do.He never laughs at people when they are in trouble.

I was an unsatisf actory student, for my heart was not in it. I had always wanted to be a writer, and in the evenings, after my tea, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel, called L iza of Lambeth, which I sent to a publisher and was accept ed. It appeared during my last year at the hospital and ha d something of a success. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession; so, three days a fter I graduated from the school of medicine, I set out fo r Spain to write another book. Looking back now, and knowin g the terrible difficulties of making a living by writing, I realize I was taking a fearful risk.The next ten years were very hard, and I earned an average of ￡100 a year. Then I had a bit of luck. The manager of the Court Theatre put on a play that failed. The next play he arranged to put on was not ready, and he was at his wit’s end. He read a play of mine and, though he d id not much like it, he thought it might just run for the six weeks till the play he had in mind could be produced . It ran for fifteen months. Within a short while, I had four plays running in London at the same time. Nothing of the kind had ever happened before. I was the talk of the town.6.When the author was a medical student, he ______.A had some trouble with his heartB was a very good studentC wanted to be a writer after graduationD was satisfied with what he was doing at the time该问题分值: 2答案:C7.When the author wrote his first novel, ______.A he sent it to a publisher but it was not acceptedB he was still studying at the medical schoolC he succeeded in publishing it though it was not a su ccess.D he had graduated from the medical school.该问题分值: 2答案:B8.The author gave up medicine because at that time ______.A he thought he could make a living by writingB he knew the success of the book was naturalC he knew it was no risk to be a writerD he was quite rich after the success of his book该问题分值: 2答案:A9.For the first ten years of his writing career after his gr aduation, the author earned an average of ￡100 a year, whi ch was ______.A a great sumB a bit of luckC a small sumD a moderate success该问题分值: 2答案:C10.The manager of the Court Theatre agreed to put on the auth or’s play because ______.A he thought the author was a good playwrightB he liked the author’s plays very muchC he failed to arrange a new play in timeD he heard that the author had studied medicine before该问题分值: 2答案:CPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the last 500 years, nothing about people –-- not their clothes, ideas or languages --- has changed as much as wh at they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Sp anish introduced it to the rest of the world. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In L ondon, shops where chocolate drinks were served became import ant meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1500, the Sp anish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it was soon wi dely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine”of 1845-46, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America. There are many other foods that h ave traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an importan t crop in Columbia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered by a g oatherd named Kaldi. He noticed that his goats were attracte d to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake”feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with.11.According to the passage, ______ has changed the most in th e last 500 years.A foodB chocolateC potatoD coffee该问题分值: 2答案:A12.“Some”in “Some still exist today”(Para.1) means ______.A some cocoa treesB some chocolate drinksC some shopsD some South American Indians该问题分值: 2答案:C13.Thousands of Irish people starved during the “Potato Famine”because ______.A they were so dependent on the potato that they refused to eat anything elseB they were forced to emigrate to AmericaC the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing the potatoD the potato harvest was bad.该问题分值: 2答案:D14.Coffee originally came from ______.A BrazilB ColumbiaC EthiopiaD Arabia该问题分值: 2答案:C15.The Arabic legend is used to prove that ______.A coffee was first discovered by KaldiB coffee was first discovered by Kaldi’s goatsC coffee was first discovered in South American countriesD coffee drinks were first made by Arabs该问题分值: 2答案:APassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Around the world more and more people are taking part in d angerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure ---- those who have climbed the highest mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oc eans. Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a few min utes or even seconds.I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of su ch an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a brid ge, or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour till the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is estimated that 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities as risky as bungee jumping involve jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs. Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psy chologists suggest that it is because life in modern societi es has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people’s lives were constantly under threat. They had to go out an d hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and l ife was a continuous battle for survival.Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excite ment. They live and work in a comparatively safe environment ; they buy food in shops, and there aredoctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill . The answer for some of these people is to seek danger i n activities such as bungee jumping.16.The best title for the passage would be ______.A Dangerous Sports: What and WhyB The Boredom of Modern LifeC Bungee Jumping: Is It Really Dangerous?D The Need for Excitement该问题分值: 2答案:D17.More and more people today ______.A are trying activities such as bungee jumpingB are climbing the highest mountainsC are coming close to death in sportsD are exploring unknown places该问题分值: 2答案:A18.In bungee jumping, you ______.A jump as high as you canB slide down a rope to the groundC attach yourself to a rope and fall towards the groundD fall towards the ground without a rope该问题分值: 2答案:C19.People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays becaus e ______.A they have a lot of free timeB they can go to hospital if they are injuredC their lives lack excitementD they no longer need to hunt for food该问题分值: 2答案:C20.The writer of the passage has a ______ attitude towards dan gerous sports.A positiveB negativeC neutralD nervous该问题分值: 2答案:CPart II Vocabulary and Structure （共40小题，每小题1分，共40分）Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

The Power of Perseverance: A Journey toSuccessIn the journey of life, perseverance stands as a towering lighthouse, guiding us through the storms of adversity and challenges. As an individual, I firmlybelieve that perseverance is the key to unlocking the doorof success. It is a quality that is honed throughconsistent efforts and unwavering determination, shaping us into resilient beings who are unafraid to face any obstacle. Looking back at my own life, I can vividly recall the moments where perseverance played a pivotal role. My academic journey, particularly my experience with the Guangdong Specialized Insertion Exam in 2012, serves as a prime example. This exam, known as the "Zhuan Cha Ben" in Chinese, was a significant milestone in my educational career. It required a rigorous preparation process,involving months of intense study and endless hours of revision.The road to the exam was not without its challenges. There were days when the workload was immense, and the pressure to perform was almost unbearable. However, it wasmy perseverance that kept me afloat. I refused to give up, even when the going got tough. I persevered through the nights, sacrificing sleep to finish one more chapter or revise one more topic. My perseverance did not go unnoticed, and it ultimately paid off when I received the news that I had passed the exam with flying colors.This experience taught me a valuable lesson about the power of perseverance. It taught me that success is not a matter of talent or luck, but a product of hard work and determination. It taught me that setbacks and failures are not roadblocks, but stepping stones to success. Most importantly, it taught me that perseverance is not just a quality, but a way of life.In conclusion, perseverance is the engine that drivesus forward in our quest for success. It is the fuel that powers us through the tough times and the driving forcethat brings us closer to our goals. As we embark on our journeys, let us remember that perseverance is not just a tool, but a companion that will guide us every step of the way.**毅力的力量：通往成功的旅程**在人生的旅途中，毅力就像一座高耸的灯塔，指引我们穿越逆境和挑战的风暴。

2012年专插本英语作文范文The Impact of Technology on Human Communication.The advent of technology has profoundly reshaped the landscape of human communication. The proliferation of smartphones, social media, and video conferencing platforms has transformed the way we interact with each other, creating both opportunities and challenges.Enhanced Connectivity and Accessibility:Undoubtedly, technology has greatly enhanced connectivity and accessibility. Smartphones have made it possible for us to stay connected with loved ones and colleagues around the globe. Social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, have facilitated the creation of virtual communities and the sharing of experiences. Furthermore, video conferencing tools like Zoom and Skype have enabled us to communicate face-to-face, regardless of distance.Convenience and Efficiency:Technology has also brought convenience and efficiency to our communication. Instant messaging applications, such as WhatsApp and Telegram, allow us to exchange messages, share photos, and make voice or video calls with unparalleled speed and ease. Email remains a valuable tool for professional communication, and the ability to attach files and schedule appointments has streamlined business processes.Cultural Exchange and Global Dialogue:The internet has played a pivotal role in fostering cultural exchange and global dialogue. Social media platforms and online forums have provided a space for people from diverse backgrounds to connect, share ideas, and learn about different cultures. Additionally, video conferencing technology has enabled international collaborations, conferences, and educational exchange programs, breaking down geographical barriers and promotingcross-cultural understanding.Challenges and Concerns:While technology has brought numerous benefits to human communication, it also poses certain challenges and concerns.Depersonalization and Social Isolation:Critics argue that the overuse of technology can lead to depersonalization and social isolation. By relying heavily on digital communication, we may neglect face-to-face interactions, which are essential for building meaningful relationships and developing empathy. Social media algorithms, designed to keep us engaged, can also contribute to a distorted perception of reality and an increased sense of isolation.Cyberbullying and Hate Speech:The anonymity of the internet has created a breedingground for cyberbullying and hate speech. Online platforms can be used to spread malicious rumors, harass individuals, and incite violence. Trolling and flaming have become common occurrences, creating a toxic environment for civil discourse.Fake News and Misinformation:The proliferation of fake news and misinformation online has eroded trust in traditional media outlets and made it difficult to distinguish between truth and fiction. Social media networks have become echo chambers, where users are exposed only to information that aligns withtheir existing beliefs, leading to polarized opinions and a decline in critical thinking skills.Digital Divide and Accessibility:Despite its transformative potential, technology has also exacerbated the digital divide. Individuals with limited access to technology, such as the elderly and those living in rural areas, are at a disadvantage when it comesto participating in the digital realm. This disparity can create social and economic inequalities and hinder the pursuit of education and career opportunities.Conclusion:The impact of technology on human communication is undeniable and multifaceted. While technology has brought about numerous benefits, including enhanced connectivity, convenience, cultural exchange, and global dialogue, it has also raised concerns about depersonalization, social isolation, cyberbullying, fake news, and the digital divide.To navigate the complexities of digital communication effectively, it is essential to approach technology with a balanced perspective. We must embrace its potential while acknowledging its limitations. We should encourage responsible use of digital platforms, promote critical thinking skills, and work towards bridging the digital divide.By harnessing the power of technology while mitigatingits potential risks, we can cultivate a digital landscape that enhances human connection, fosters understanding, and empowers individuals to thrive in the ever-evolving technological era.。

2012年广东插本英语真题作文English: In 2012, Guangdong province in China experienced a severe drought that had a significant impact on the local economy and people's lives. The lack of rainfall led to crop failures, water shortages, and a decrease in agricultural production. Farmers struggled to make ends meet as their harvests withered in the fields, and many families faced food insecurity. The dry conditions also heightened the risk of wildfires, further endangering the environment and people's safety. The government responded by implementing water conservation measures, providing financial assistance to affected farmers, and promoting water-saving agricultural practices. However, these efforts were not enough to fully alleviate the effects of the drought, highlighting the importance of long-term planning and preparedness for extreme weather events.中文翻译: 在2012年，中国广东省经历了一场严重的干旱，对当地经济和人民的生活产生了重大影响。

It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks before-hand.The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it and a candle placed inside, and put in the window as a decoration. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations.Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one’s neighbors and friends, such as ringing door bell, throwing bits of corn at window panes, and making small troubles in other ways.More recently, children have begun to go door to door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and give treats of candy, fruit or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat”, meaning, “I will play a trick on you if you don’t give me a treat.” This practice has even recently developed into an international activity. Instead of, or along with candy, children collect money for UNICEF (the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for poor children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick or Treat”.16.

Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, news of disaster, such as a flood, can bring help from distant countries.

Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died of news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.21. Thanks to _______, we can gain brand-new ideas and news of events from all over the world.A. DisastersB. EuropeC.

Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life,people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow up—we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soonas you could see clearly. Colours do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the area —until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.36．The sentence “You would rather follow than lead” in paragraph 1 means that you would______.A．like to lead followersB．like to be a leader rather than a followerC．be a member rather than a leaderD．be afraid of following others正确答案：C37．If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer______.A．blue to yellowB．blue to orangeC．red to yellowD．red to grey正确答案：D38．Which of the following statements is true?A．People’ s preference of one colour to another is instinct.B．People’ s preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up.C．More people happen to love brown because they saw it when they were born.D．Factory workers meet fewer accidents when their machines are painted grey.正确答案：A39．Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River to others because of its______.A．shapeB．colourC．structureD．materials正确答案：B40．The main idea of the passage is that______.A．colours affect people’ s moodB．colours affect people’s characterC．bright colours make people more activeD．colours preference shows people’s courage正确答案：ACharlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from the city developers that their father worked on since he was 14. While she is confident they will succeed, she lists farming’ s many challenges:” You don’t often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating,” she said. “There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich! “Oliver Robinson, 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather’ s land. “I.’ m sure Dad hoped I’ d stay,” he said. “I guess it’ s a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn’ t appeal. For young ambitious people, farm life would be a hard world. “ For Robinson, farming doesn’t offer much in terms of money or lifestyle. Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards: “providing for a vital human need, while working outdoors with nature. “Farming is a big political issue in the UK. “Buy British”campaigns encourage consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods. The 2001 “food and mouth crisis” closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness of troubles in British farming. Jamie Oliver’ s 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue. This national concern brings hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets. While most people buy food from the big supermarkets, hundreds of independent Farmers’Markets are becoming popular.41．Charlotte Hollins is talking about her feeling of a battle between______.A．the poor and the richB．farmers and city developersC．small markets and supermarketsD．young people and their parents正确答案：B42．In the eyes of Charlotte Hollins, ______makes fewer people work on farms.A．a low rate of suicideB．rich life of farmersC．hard life on the farmsD．high prices of farm products正确答案：C43．According to the passage, more and more young people leave their fathers’land because farming cannot offer______.A．a hard worldB．a vital human needC．a nice and straightforward lifeD．enough money and honourable life正确答案：D44．“Buy British” campaigns______.A．bring benefit to farmersB．closed thousands of farmsC．stopped meat exportD．ask children to eat British foods正确答案：A45．According to the passage, Farmers’Markets are becoming popular because______.A．thousands of farms are closedB．farmers are the owners of the marketsC．more people are concerned about healthy foodD．Jamie Oliver’ s 2005 campaigns urge people to “Buy British”正确答案：CNo one knows exactly how many disabled people(残疾人)there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada. In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight. Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people’s attitude towards them. Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could nothear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts.46．The first paragraph tells us that______.A．the number of disabled people in India is the greatestB．there are less than 450 million disabled people in the worldC．there are more than 450 million disabled people in the worldD．the number of disabled people in India is equal to the total population of Canada正确答案：C47．The key word in paragraph 4 is______.A．ignoranceB．prejudiceC．disabilityD．barriers正确答案：D48．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．There are about 10 percent disabled people in the UK.B．There still exists prejudice against the disabled because of ignorance.C．Even the able-bodied might lose some of their body functions when they get older.D．The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.正确答案：B49．The clause “which counts” in the last paragraph means that______.A．ability is the most importantB．disability is includedC．disability is consideredD．barriers is the most important正确答案：A50．It can be concluded from the passage that______.A．we should try our best to prevent disablementB．we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledC．the able-bodied will never fully understand the disabledD．both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down正确答案：BIt is really a surprise that after hundreds of years, educationists have still failed to design anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. It is claimed that examinations test what you know, but it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing memory, or the skills of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person’ s true ability. As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. No one can show his best in worry, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do. A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The examination system, however, does anything but that. What has to be learnt is laid down by a syllabus(教学大纲), so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, and they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge. Furthermore, teachers themselves are often judged by the results of their students’examinations. Consequently, they have to train their students to master exam techniques which they dislike. The most successful candidates are not always the best educated but the best trained. The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous(匿名的)examiners. They certainly make mistakes, because they have to mark mountains of scripts(答卷)in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates.51．The main idea of this passage is that examinations are______.A．anxiety-makersB．reliable and efficientC．harmful to educationD．good measures of memory正确答案：A52．It is clear that the author______examinations.A．argues forB．argues againstC．is indifferent toD．is interested in正确答案：B53．The fate of students is decided by______according to the passage.A．examinationB．teachingC．educationD．learning正确答案：A54．According to the author, the most importance of a good education is to______.A．encourage students to read widelyB．teach students how to tackle examsC．train students to think on their ownD．encourage students to seek more knowledge正确答案：C55．Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Examinations can make students anxious.B．The examiners might make mistakes in marking.C．Teachers’ work is judged based on the results of examinations.D．Tools better than examinations to best students’ ability have been found.正确答案：DClozeWhen I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it.
