Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneAmericans this year will swallow 15, 000 tons of aspirin, one of thesafest and most effective drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicinein the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap.Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in , it has beenaround much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was agreat deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(片剂) were available in the United States.For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works. A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leadingcause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, althoughrelatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that.16. This article discusses __________.A. the multiple functions of aspirinB. how and why aspirin was inventedC. the history and the features of aspirinD. how to take aspirin properly17. According to the second paragraph, salicylates is __________.A. leaves and tree barksB. the old name of aspirinC. the name of a US companyD. a component of aspirin18. Which symptom can NOT be treated by aspirin?A. feverB. reactionsC. painD. inflammation19. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the best way to take aspirin is to take it __________.A. with bitter waterB. with orange juiceC. in tablet formD. in powder form20. The author of this article seems to be__________.A. against the use of aspirinB. in favour of aspirinC. doubtful about aspirinD. not interested in aspirinPassage TwoDr. Mary Jo Bane is the associate director of the Center for Research on Women. Her recent study found “surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life”, which cast doubt on some common myths about American family.Myth 1: The American Family is Dying Because of the Soaring Divorce Rate.According to Dr. Bane’s study, the American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller and the divorce rate is high. But Dr. Bane says that despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people re-marry, but only 2%marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are fromteenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up.Myth 2: Working Mothers are Destroying the Family by Neglecting Their Children.“There’s no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home,” says Dr. Bane. “You have to div ide the time into different categories: simple physical function and educational time or development time when a mother plays with the child. So far we haven’t seen the amount of educational or development time vary much, whether or not the mother works ou tside the home.” In fact, Dr. Bane finds evidence that working mothers, especially in the middle class, tryto compensate for working by setting aside time exclusively for their children. “They probably read more to their children and spend more time in pl anned activities with them than nonworking mothers do.” says Dr. Bane.21. Dr. Mary Jo Bane’s study seems to suggest that _________.A. Americans are persistent in careerB. Americans are serious with their familiesC. American families are all breaking upD. American families are perfect as usual22. It can be inferred that the common myths of American family consider family life to be _________.A. in great dangerB. quite wonderfulC. changing too fastD. very satisfying23. According to the article, which of the following is true about marriage and divorce?A. Divorced people never consider a second marriage.B. Teenage couples often divorce out of no reason.C. Less and less people plan to get married.D. Very few people have a third or fourth marriage.24. For the children whose mothers go out to work, __________.A. it is better to have mothers at homeB. almost no attention is paid to themC. no less attention is paid to themD. a lot of time is spent playing gamespared with nonworking mothers, working mothers________.A. spare less time to stay with their childrenB. do more educational activities with childrenC. do very little simple physical houseworkD. avoid disturbing their work by family dutiesPassage ThreeCrime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns in UK.The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January or February. The most uncriminal month ofall is May; however, more dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.On the other hand, our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores on examinations, and propose the most changes to patents. Inall instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington's studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!26. The seasonal cycle of crime patterns is proved by_________.A. the figures in police recordsB. 2,400 cities and townsC. a magazine reportD. the studies by police officers27. According to paragraph 2, a murder would most possibly occur on_________.A. a weekday morning in springB. a weekday morning in autumnC. a weekend night in summerD. a weekend night in winter28. What makes May a special month of the year?A. All types of crimes happen in May.B. There is no crime happened in May.C. Criminals increase in number in May.D. Dog attacks are most frequent in May.29. Which behavior is NOT an example of human intellectual activities?A. Reading books on philosophy.B. Attending wedding ceremony.C. Working on mathematics questions.D. Innovating engineering machinery.30. According to Professor Huntington’s study, June is the peak month when people _________.A. get divorcedB. recover from mental illnessC. try to kill themselvesD. climb high and low mountainsPassage FourIn Lusaka, Zambia, a young man applying for a job was told to see the manage r. He leaned over the receptionist’s desk and asked. “What tribe(部落) is he?” When the receptionist told him that the manager was a Mashona, the applicant replied, “Then I'll never get the job.”This phenomenon is called tribalism(部落主义). There are more than 2,000 tribes in black Africa. Each has its own language, customs, and physical characteristics that make its members almost immediately recognizable to a person from another tribe. To the Westerner, tribalism is one of the most difficult of African customs to understand. It makes many people think of savagery, warfare, or old-fashioned customs.However, to most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group. It is a force that can be both good and bad. Bydefinition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group tribesman. To give a job to a fellow is not wrong; it is an obligation. Similarly, for apolitician or military leader, it is considered good common sense to choose his closest advisers from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, and authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion―from sergeant to captain, from clerk to manager―within a very short time.Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions. Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.31. In paragraph 1, why did the young man believe his job application will be refused?A. His behavior was not appropriate.B. He belonged to the same tribe with the manager.C. He didn’t belong to the same tribe with the manager.D. His questions annoyed the receptionist.32. The situation in the first paragraph is an example of_______.A. the difficulty of getting a job in AfricaB. the disagreement on tribalism among AfricansC. the great numbers of tribes in AfricaD. the importance of tribalism in Africa33. What might be the common attitudes of Westerners towards tribalism?A. positiveB. indifferentC. negativeD. none of the above34. According to the article, which of the following is NOT an evidence of tribalism?A. Sergeants maintain security in his own tribe.B.Politicians choose men from his own tribe as intimate advisers.C. Military leaders promote fellow tribesmen to higher positions.D. Managers give jobs to fellow tribesmen.35. What would be the future of tribalism?A. It will soon be destroyed by modern politicians.B. It will remain as strong as it is today and never be changed.C. It will gradually disappear as the society develops.D. It will speed up further division of tribes.Part IV Cloze Test (10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each numbered blank, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.

This is not something out of a science fiction novel–it's reality. “Given the cost of other things in a house, the cost of improving the walls is relatively small but the impact is big,”says Fernando Branco, a professor in the university's Department of Architecture.In Branco's lab, one room is used for large-scale experiments on how to make buildings more efficient and comfortable, bothto live and to work in. The most innovative project in the lab is the WALLS (Wireless Sensor Network for Adaptive Lighting and control of Shades) project. The walls are made up of layers of painted steel which, despite being painted, allow radio waves to pass through the walls also. Chip-sized sensors are placed at different points to collect data on things like temperature and noise levels, and pass it wirelessly to a computer. The data is then translated into actions, such as turning up the heat or making a wall transparent. "I believe that future buildings will be perceptive," says Branco.Builders say the digital walls' energy saving potential will appeal cities wishing to use less power, stores wanting to cut down on their heating costs, and flights-observing homeowners. Walls will be able to adjust color, allowing them to fit in with a surrounding landscape, an example being the wall's ability to greet visitors by lighting up when they ring the doorbell. “The idea is to create surfaces that can interact, sense and respond,” says Branco.29. Fernando Branco believes improving walls in homes is a project that[A] costs little but achieves a lot.[B] requires a lot of money but has a little impact.[C] has large-scale experiments.[D] is essential for every home.30. What do we learn about the WALLS project?[A] Walls can change their shape.[B] Painted steel walls allow light to pass through.[C] Chip-sized sensors are attached only to the outer walls.[D] Sensors are used to collect data and control the walls.31. According to Branco, buildings in the future[A] are able to make decisions.[B] may respond to changes in the environment.[C] cannot make themselves comfortable.[D] need no human control.32. The energy saving potential of digital walls is particularly appealing to[A] big power companies.[B] tech stores.[C] homeowners.[D] city planners.33. How might a wall greet a visitor in the future?[A] By broadcasting a welcome message.[B] By telling the visitor to leave.[C] By lighting up when visitors approach.[D] By making the doorbell ring with music.34. What does Branco hope to achieve through the digital walls?[A] Walls that respond to commands.[B] Surfaces that can interact with the surrounding environment.[C] Surfaces that do not need to be controlled by people.[D] Walls that do not require any maintenance.Questions 35 to 46 are based on the following passage.A “new” kind of large-scale family unit has been identified at Duke University—not a book club group, but a group of students and their parents who live close together in the same town. According to researchers, the existence of thesetown-dwelling families’ comes as a surprise to most–but to theuniversity, it is now well established that students and their families share many dimensions of life while remaining in close proximity.While predictably mother and father have a definite effect on the student’s academic performance, the extent of the effect of parents, the number of years lived together as a family and the changing number of people living in a household are the most significant factors, researchers have found.The 566 students and their parents involved in the study ranged from first-year students to seniors within the university. The study found that the growing sense of the family’s effect on academics was linked to the increased number of years living together and the growing distance between the student’s residence and the university. The mother and father's level of education and their placements at the university, too, were added to the sense of family influence.The study predicts that the change in where a student resides will have an effect on their academic performance. Increasingly social media, entertainment companies, and even parents continue to offer direct instruction and advice along with the presence of a shared space between the student and parents in university towns, the study found.【参考译文】城镇住宿的家庭之所以能够为大学所接受，除了母亲和父亲对学生成绩的明显影响外，家庭作用的程度、家庭共同生活的年限和家庭成员人数的变化是研究人员发现的最重要因素。

江苏学位英语考试真题及答案2022全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Big Tough English Test for Grown-UpsWow, you guys won't believe the crazy test I just took! It was the Jiangsu Postgraduate English Exam for 2022. I know, I know, I'm just a kid - why am I taking a big grown-up university test? Well, my super smart big sister is applying to get her Master's degree, and she needed someone to quiz her practice questions on. Since I'm the best little brother ever, I agreed to help her out.Man, that test was no joke! The reading passages were super long and had all these big fancy words I'd never heard before. My sister had to stop me like every five seconds to explain what things meant. There were passages about science, history, culture, you name it! I'd just be reading along, totally following the story, and then BOOM - I'd hit a word like "antiquated" or "quintessential" and it was like running into a brick wall. Good thing my sister was there to translate it into kid language for me.But you know what the hardest part was? The listening section! They played all these recordings of people talking, butthey had such strong accents and spoke so fast. Half the time I couldn't even tell if they were speaking English or some other language. My sister telld me they were from all over - America, Britain, Australia. I was like "Don't they all speak English?" Apparently not the same way we do!While the recordings played, I had to frantically write down what they were saying and answer comprehension questions. Let me tell you, that was a nightmare! My hand cramped up from writing so much, and I had a terrible time trying to spell words like "conscientious" and "querulously". I probably just wrote "konshinshus" and "qwerluisly" - I have no idea if those are even close to the real spellings. The worst was when they threw in random facts and names like "In 1824, so-and-so discovered yadda-yadda yadda..." How am I supposed to know all that?!The saving grace was that every section had 10-15 minutes of rest time between each part. You better believe I chugged about three juice boxes during those breaks. I needed all the energy I could get!After killing myself on the listening, we moved onto the writing section. That was... interesting, to say the least. The test gave prompts like "Some people think developing renewable energy is more important than space exploration. What is youropinion?" and then expected a multi-paragraph response with clear arguments and examples! As a fourth grader, my thoughts kinda went: "I don't know, energy is good? But space is cool too? Can I go outside and play now?"Despite my laughable attempt at an essay, we pushed onwards to the final section - speaking. For this part, my sister set up her laptop camera and I had to give a two-minute speech about a randomly picked topic from a basket. I drew a card that said "The advantages and disadvantages of social media." Are you kidding me?! You might as well have asked me to explain the theory of relativity. What do I know about social media besides everyone's always staring at their phones?I ended up just rambling about how Facebook is for old people and TikTok has fun videos but also lots of ads trying to get youto buy stuff. Probably not quite the level of insight they were looking for. There was another part where my sister showed me a picture and I had to describe it, but I've already forgotten what that one was about. Oops!When it was all over, I literally collapsed on the floor from exhaustion. My brain felt like flip into mashed potatoes after wrestling with so many big concepts and vocabulary words for hours. I can't imagine how mentally drained real test takers mustfeel! Just thinking about taking that entire exam for real makes me want to take a nap.My sister graded my weird ramblings using a test answer key she had, and it was... not pretty. Let's just say I wouldn't have gotten the scores needed to get into any self-respecting university. On the bright side, at least I got a ton of practice reading, writing, listening and speaking in English! Maybe I'll be extra prepared when I need to take important tests in the future.For now though, I'm sticking to multiplication tables and creative writing about my summer vacations. Anything beyond that level of academic torture is going to have to wait until I'm much, much older. Preferably when I have a family, a mortgage, and tons of free time to study - so maybe never? We'll see! Phew, I'm beat. Time for some video games to veg out...篇2The Jiangsu Postgraduate English Exam 2022Hi there! My name is Lily and I'm a 4th grader. My big sister Julia just took the really hard Jiangsu Postgraduate English Exam last year to try to get into a master's program. She studied soooo much for it. I'm going to tell you all about the exam questions and answers she showed me!The exam had four sections - listening, reading, writing, and translation. Julia said the listening part was the toughest. You had to listen really carefully to lectures, conversations, and other recordings and answer multiple choice questions. Some of the audio tracks were about science topics like black holes and others were just casual chats between friends. The questions asked specific details about what was said. Julia had to concentrate super hard!For the reading section, there were long academic passages on subjects like history, psychology, and environmental studies. The passages used a ton of big vocabulary words I didn't know. After each passage, you had to answer comprehension questions like "According to the passage, what is the main reason for..." or "The author implies that..." Julia showed me some of the question types like matching statements to paragraphs. Yikes, it looked really hard to understand those dense readings!Then there was a writing task where you had to write a whole essay responding to a prompt. One prompt Julia remembered was "Some people believe social media creates increased social isolation. Others feel it allows for greater connectivity. What is your perspective?" For a timed essay, you had to quickly outlineyour main ideas, provide clear examples, and have a logical flow. No easy feat when the exam timer is ticking!The last section was translation between English and Chinese. You had to translate passages accurately while keeping the same meaning, tone and style. Julia said some of the hardest parts were translating idioms, metaphors, and words with multiple meanings. In one sample, the English said "a penny for your thoughts" which has no literal penny meaning in the Chinese translation. Tricky stuff!Throughout the exam, Julia had to really demonstrate her English vocabulary breadth and mastery of grammar rules. She said managing her time was also crucial to get through all the sections.I saw Julia's scores after she finished and she did pretty well overall! She was super relieved when it was over. In some sections like the translation part, she wasn't sure how she did. Other parts like the reading comprehension used question types she had practiced a ton for.Julia worked sooo diligently to prepare for months and months. She took practice tests, attended prep courses, and worked through previous exam papers. All that hard work paid off!Even though I'm just a kid, I could see how challenging and comprehensive the Jiangsu Postgraduate English Exam was. It really tested Julia's English abilities across all skills - listening, reading, writing, vocabulary, and translation. She had to know academic concepts, understand different accents, and write at a scholarly level.I have so much respect for Julia and all graduate candidates who take this intense exam. It's no wonder she celebrated big time when она получила высокие баллы! Oops, I mean, when she got a high score! Even though I mix up my Russian and English sometimes, I can appreciate how difficult it is to master a foreign language.Maybe I'll work just as hard as Julia did and be able to pass my own English exams years from now. But Wow, the Jiangsu test made me realize I have a loooong way to go before I can call myself truly fluent! I'll keep studying and improving my English skills little by little.Julia said the exam process, while grueling, helped prepare her for the rigor of graduate-level coursework and research. By conquering this huge milestone, she proved she can understand complex topics, synthesize information, and convey ideas at an academic level. Yeah Julia!Well, that's all I know about my sister's experience with the crazy difficult Jiangsu Postgraduate English Exam. I couldn't have answered those listening comprehension questions or written an essay for the test prompts. At least not yet! Maybe if I follow Julia's footsteps of hard work and perseverance, I can ace an English exam like that one day too. But I'm heading outside to ride bikes and play for now - no more studying tonight! Let me know if you have any other questions!篇3Here's an article about the Jiangsu Postgraduate Entrance English Exam 2022 with questions and answers, written in English from a primary school student's perspective, around 2000 words long:The Super Difficult English Exam I Had to TakeHi friends! My name is Xiaoming and I'm a primary school student here in Jiangsu Province, China. Today I want to tell you about this really hard English exam that all the older students have to take. It's called the Jiangsu Postgraduate Entrance English Exam and it happens every year. My big brother Xiaozhang had to take it last year when he was trying to get into a Master's program. He studied so hard for months!The exam is entirely in English and it tests how well you can read, write, listen and speak in English. From what Xiaozhang told me, it's super duper difficult. There are different sections like reading comprehension, vocabulary, writing an essay, and even an oral test where you have to speak English out loud. Can you imagine how nervous Xiaozhang must have been?I managed to find one of the past exam papers from 2022 and I'll share some of the questions with you. But be warned, they are very very hard! I could barely understand them.Reading ComprehensionThere was this long reading passage about climate change and environmental issues. After reading it, you had to answer questions like:According to the passage, what are three major causes of global warming?The author mentions "carbon capture technology". Explain what this is in your own words.Which stance does the author seem to take regarding the future impact of climate change?Just reading the questions made my head spin! The vocabulary was so advanced. How are students supposed tounderstand such difficult readings and concepts entirely in English? My brother is super smart, so I can't even imagine how hard this section was for him.VocabularyThen there was a vocabulary section testing English word meanings and usage. It had questions like:Choose the correct definition of the word "obsolete".Use the word "appease" in a sentence of your own.There were so many infrequent and academic words that I had never even heard before! I don't think I could have gotten a single one of those vocabulary questions right.WritingBut possibly the most challenging part was the writing section, where they made you write a whole essay or article of 400+ words in English! One of the essay prompts from 2022 was:"Scientific and technological progress has caused both benefits and drawbacks for modern society." Discuss both aspects and provide your perspective on achieving a balanced approach.Are you kidding me? I can barely write 400 words in my native Chinese, let alone crafting a complex analytical essay in English about the pros and cons of technology. I'm just a little kid still learning basic grammar and vocabulary. Something like that would be impossible for me, and it was really hard even for my brother who has studied English for many years.Oral TestLastly, there was even a speaking section called the Oral Test where they made you respond to questions out loud in English! Some examples were:Describe a happy childhood memory in detail.8 ) Give your views on the importance of protecting cultural heritage sites.Just imagining having to speak continuously in perfect English about random topics already makes me sweat! My pronunciation is so bad and I would definitely freeze up from nervousness. Hats off to any students who could smoothly express themselves in English in this oral exam.Well, those were just a few examples from the 2022 Jiangsu Postgraduate Entrance English Exam. It looked extremely complicated, stressful, and way way too difficult for a youngstudent like me. My brother studied day and night to prepare and he barely passed. I have so much respect for any students taking on such an incredibly challenging English exam!If you're curious, here are the answers my brother gave me for those sample questions:Three major causes: burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, industrializationTechnology to capture carbon emissions and store them undergroundThe author seems to take a pessimistic view of climate change's consequencesDefinition of obsolete: No longer used or useful, outmodedSample sentence: "To appease the angry crowd, the politician promised reforms."Essay Sample Response (abbreviated):"While scientific progress has undoubtedly brought major benefits like longer lifespans and technological conveniences, it has also caused concerning issues like environmental damage and erosion of privacy... A balanced approach is needed thatmitigates the drawbacks through regulation and ethical oversight while still allowing innovation..."Childhood Memory: "One of my happiest memories was when I went camping with my family in the mountains and saw a beautiful waterfall..."Cultural Heritage: "Protecting cultural heritage sites is crucial because they are irreplaceable pieces of our ancestral history that educate us about our roots and identity..."Just reading my brother's answers makes my head spin. I can't even imagine having to come up with all those thoughtful responses entirely in English under time pressure! I guess that's why they call it one of the most difficult English exams around.Anyway friends, that's my experience learning about the crazy difficult Jiangsu Postgraduate English Entrance Exam. I have a whole new level of respect for my brother and any students capable of taking such a high-level comprehensive English test. For now, I'll just focus on my times tables and simple English nursery rhymes. But who knows, maybe one day I'll be taking that beast of an exam too! Wish me luck!篇4The Big Scary English TestOh boy, I have to tell you about the Jiangsu Postgraduate Entrance English Exam I took last year! It was super duper hard. I'm just a kid but I like to dream big, so I decided to take the test to get ready for going to a great university someday.The test had all kinds of crazy difficult parts. There was listening, reading, writing, translation - you name it! I thought my head was going to explode trying to understand and answer everything. But I'm a tough cookie, so I powered through and did my best. I'll share some of the questions with you so you can see how insanely hard it was!Listening SectionIn the listening part, they played all these conversations and lectures and stuff. Then they asked a bunch of questions to see if you understood what was said. Things like:Question 1: What is the main purpose of the speaker?A) To describe a historical eventB) To criticize a political policyC) To introduce a scientific theoryD) To promote a new productI guessed C because it sounded like the guy was talking about some crazy science stuff I didn't understand. Who knows if I got it right!Question 2: What will the speakers likely discuss next?A) Enrollment requirementsB) Housing optionsC) Travel arrangementsD) Research methodsFor this one, I chose D because it seemed like they were setting up to talk about some research. But it was just a wild guess!Reading SectionThen there were all these stupidly long reading passages about things like biology, economics, history. The passages were so boring that I could barely stay awake. After each one, they asked comprehension questions like:Question 1: According to the passage, which of the following is true of photosynthesis?A) It occurs in plant cellsB) It involves the creation of oxygenC) It requires carbon dioxideD) All of the aboveWell duh, I know photosynthesis has to do with plants and making oxygen and carbon dioxide stuff. So I picked D for all of the above. Easy peasy!Question 2: The author's main purpose is toA) Argue against an economic theoryB) Explain the basics of macroeconomicsC) Analyze the impacts of a recessionD) Critique a governmental policyUmm... I have no clue what macroeconomics even means. So for this one I just filled in a bubble at random. Oops!Writing SectionThe writing section was where I really struggled. They asked us to write an essay responding to a prompt. The prompt I got was:"Some people believe that competition for high grades motivates students to excel, while others think it creates anunhealthy environment in schools. Which view do you agree with? Develop your position with relevant examples and evidence."Are you kidding me?! I'm just a kid. How am I supposed to know whether competition is good or bad? All I know is that I hate taking tests and having to compete against my friends. I pretty much just winged it and wrote something like:"I do not like when me and my friends have to compete against each other for good grades. It makes me sad and stressed out. I want school to be fun, not super competitive and difficult all the time. We are just kids and should be able to learn at our own pace and not be so worried about getting the Best grades ever."Yeah, probably not going to win any awards for that sad little essay. But hey, I tried!Translation SectionAnd finally, there was this crazy translation part. They gave us a passage in English and we had to translate the whole thing into Chinese. And then they gave us another passage in Chinese that we had to translate to English. My tiny little brain was ready to explode at this point.The English to Chinese one was about some famous scientist, with sentences like:"Marie Curie's groundbreaking discoveries in the field of radioactivity changed the face of modern science and opened up new frontiers of physics and chemistry."You have got to be kidding me! I'm 8 years old. How am I supposed to translate academic mumbo jumbo like that?! I just tried to say it simply:"马里·居里在放射性方面的革命性发现改变了现代科学的面貌,并为物理学和化学开辟了新的前沿领域。

Passage 1Ants are great athletes in proportion to their size. They can lilt a weight four hundred times their own weight. Theoretically a five-pound ant could easily lilt a ton.The most skillful farmers in the insect world are the small, heavily armored parasol ants.They work at night and it is nothing for them to strip a large tree at a time, marching off with bits Of leaf held over them like parasols.Surprisingly enough, these ants do not eat the vegetation they got. Rather they use it as raw material for their remarkable underground gardens, which they tend themselves．The shreds of the leaves are literally chewed into a rich compost which is used to strengthen the garden where a thread-like fungus is cultivated. This species of fungus is their only source of food.Included in the extraordinary parasol ant society are tiny garden workers, and slightly bigger workers who dig the interconnecting chambers of the hive. The parasol queen ant, more than one hundred times me size of the garden workers, is waited upon hand and foot by hundreds of her citizens．21. An ant is very strong in proportion to its weight.

For example, psychologists areinterested in why some things make you sad, but others make you happy.They want to know why some people are shy, but others are quite talkative. They also want to know why people do the things that they do. They test intelligence.Psychologists deal with the minds and behavior of people. Your mind consists of all your feelings，thoughts，and ideas. It is the results of the part of the brain called the cerebrum. Your behavior is the way you act or conduct yourself.Examples of behavior include shouting，crying，laughing，and sleeping.Several people have been instrumental in the field of psychology．Wilhelm Wudt set up the first psychological laboratory in Leipzig, Germany, in1879．Ivan Pavlov, a Russian, is noted for his experiments with dogs in which he studied their relaxes and reactions．Around 1900, Sigmund Freud stated his theory that people try to repress any memories or thoughts that they believed were not good,Psychologists should not be confused with psychiatrists. Psychiatrists deal only with mental illness. They are medical doctors who treat people.26: A good title for this selection isA. Studying the MindB. Feelings and Behavior of Human BeingsC.
