Table mannersPeople who go to a formal western dinner party for the first time may be surprised by the table manners in western culture. Knowing them will help you make a good impression. Having good table manners means knowing, for example, how to use knives and forks, when to drink a toast and how to behave at the table. Beside your napkin(餐巾)，you will find a small bread roll and three glasses----one for white wine, one for red wine, and one for water. There are two pairs of knives and forks on the table, forks on the left and knives on the right of the plate. When you see two spoons(汤匙)，the big one is for the soup and the small one for the dessert. The knife and fork that are closest to your plate are a little bit bigger than ones beside them. When you sit down at the table, you can take your napkin, unfold it and put it on your lap(膝盖)。

Cell PhonesBelieve it or not, cell phones have been around for over a quarter of a century. The first commercial (商业的) cell phone system was developed by the Japanese in 1979. But cell phones have changed a lot since that time. The early cell phones were big and heavy but they have been developed into small and light palm-sized models. There have been huge developments in their functions, too. We have had cell forwarding, text messaging, answering services and hands-free use for years, but now there are countless new uses, such as instant access to the internet and receiving and sending photos.Cell phones have become very common in our lives; recent statistics suggest as many as one in three people on the planet now have a cell phone, and most of them say they can’t live without one. Cell phones are used in every area of our lives and have become a necessary tool, used for essential arrangements, social contact and business. They have made it easier to call for help on the highway. They have made it possible to keep in touch with people” on the move” when people are traveling.Cell phones have made communication easier and have reduced the need for family arguments. We can use cell phones to let our family know we’ll be late or if there’s a change of plan or an emergency(紧急情况)。

自考英语二2014年4月作文解析与仿写**English Version**Title: Embracing Change: A Journey of Self-ImprovementIn the dynamic world we live in, change is constant,and it is our ability to adapt to these changes thatdefines our success. The April 2014 self-study English II essay, "Changes in My Life," invited students to reflect on the significant changes they have experienced and theimpact these changes have had on their lives. This essay explores the concept of change, the challenges it poses,and the personal growth that ensues from embracing these changes.Changes, whether they are small or significant, are inevitable. They come in various forms, such as career transitions, relocations, relationships, and personal growth. Each change brings its unique set of challenges and opportunities. Embracing these changes, rather thanresisting them, can lead to personal growth and development. For instance, a career transition can be a daunting task. It involves leaving a familiar work environment,potentially facing new challenges, and adapting to a new set of responsibilities. However, this change can also lead to new opportunities, increased job satisfaction, and personal growth. By embracing this change, one can gain new skills, expand their professional network, and achieve greater success.Similarly, relocations can be both exciting and challenging. Moving to a new city or country requires adapting to a new culture, making new friends, and finding a new sense of belonging. This process can be rewarding, as it allows one to broaden their horizons, experience new things, and grow as an individual.Relationships, too, undergo constant change. As people grow and change, their relationships evolve as well. Embracing these changes can strengthen relationships and deepen understanding and empathy between individuals.Personal growth is another area where change plays a crucial role. As we grow and develop, we encounter new experiences and learn new things. Embracing these changes can lead to increased self-awareness, a betterunderstanding of our strengths and weaknesses, and theability to make informed decisions about our lives.In conclusion, change, while challenging, is also an opportunity for growth and development. By embracing change, we can overcome the challenges it poses and emerge stronger, more resilient, and more self-aware. The journey of self-improvement is a continuous one, and change is a crucialpart of that journey. By reflecting on the changes we have experienced and the impact they have had on our lives, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us, and continue to grow and develop as individuals. **Chinese Version**标题：拥抱变化：自我提升之旅在我们生活的这个动态世界中，变化是常态，而我们对这些变化的适应能力则定义了我们的成功。

内容包括以下：你喜欢电子书还是纸质书？理由是什么？With the popularization of computer and internet , it is as convenient to get E-book as to get paper book for us. Here is coming a very hot topic: whether E-book can replace paper book or not.On one hand , there are some people considering that paper book will not be replaced forever. For one thing , although E-book are easier for carrying , we can not us them whenever we need , because they must be read through professional tools ,such as mp3 ,mp4 and so on.What's more , plenty of knowledge has been recorded in paper book rather than E-book. To make things credibler , there are not enough E-book concluding professional knowledge for us to use on the net.On the other hand ,some people hold the opinion that E-books will take the place of paper books. It is said that E-books do not use any paper unless we need them to be printed, which do some kind of good to our environment . This can be an important why E-books are accepted by a great number of people. Moreover , E-books are easier for carrying and we can get the book immediately through internet ,even if it is thousands miles away.For me ,I can read a great deal of novels without buying them home. But that do not delicate E-books can replace paper books, at least in recent years. For paper book is more worthy of being collected than e-book.。

Reading Comprehension (20%) Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: In today’s world, trade barriers in international trade are still widespread. Trade barriers usually consist of tariff restrictions and non-tariff barriers. Tariffs are sometimes justified on the grounds that they protect domestic employment and wages, help create the competition of domestic products in the world market, and protect domestic industries. A tariff is simply a tax or duty levied on a product when it crosses national boundaries. In general, tariffs can be divided into an import tariff and an export tariff. The most widespread tariff is the import tariff, which is a tax levied on an imported product. A less common tariff is an export tariff, which is a tax imposed on an exported product. For example, oil exports have been taxed by Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in order to raise revenue by controlling the supply and increasing the price of oil in the world market. There are three types of tariffs, specific tariff, ad valorem tariff and compoud tariff. A speicfic tariff is expressed in terms of a fixed amount of money per physical unit of the imported product. An ad valorem tariff is expressed as a fixed percentage of the value of the imported product. A compound tariff is a combination of a specific and an ad valorem tariff. Specific tariff is relatively easy to apply and administer, particularly to standardized commodities and staple products. Ad valorem tariff can be applied to products with a wide range of grade variations. Compound tariff is often applied to manufactured products embodying raw materials that are subject to tariffs. 11. The main purpose of levying tariff is ________. A. to protect domestic employment and wages B. to help create the competition of domestic products in the world market C. to protect domestic industries D. A, B, and C 12. Which of the following is NOT right? A. Trade barriers in international trade are still widespread. B. The most widespread tariff is the import tariff.C. Levying tariff is the only way to protect domestic industries.D. Levying tariff can make domestic products more competitive. 13. Oil exports have been taxed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in order to ________. A. decrease the export of oil B. raise revenue by controlling the supply and increasing the price of oil in the world market C. control the use of oil and protect the oil resources D. None of these 14. Which of the following is right? A. Non-tariff barriers can also be used to protect domestic industries. B. Ad valorem tariff can be applied to staple products. C. The purpose of leaing export tariff is to increase revenue. D. Tariff is never imposed on domestic products. 15. Speicific tariff is ________. A. often applied to manufactured products embodying raw materials that are subject to tariffs B. relatively easy to apply and administer, particularly to standardized commodities and staple products C. expressed as a fixed percentage of the value of the imported product D. often applied to products with a wide range of grade variations Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage: The key building block for Audience Advocacy, and a way to focus on benefits rather than features, is to constantly ask the key question: What’s in it for you? It’s based on the more common axiom, “What’s in it for me?” I’ve shifted the ultimate word to you deliverately, to shift the focus from you to your audience. This shift emphasizes the ultimate need for all communicators to be focused outward, on the needs of their audience (you), rather than on their own needs (me). This is the essence of Audience Advocacy in action. In refering to this key question, I’ll use the acronym WIIFY (pronounced whiffy). By constantly seeking the WIIFY in any persuasive situation, you can ensure that your presentation stays focused on what matters most: getting your audience to move from Point A to Point B because you’ve given them a very good reason to make that move. The WIIFY is the benefit to the specific audience in your persuasive situation. There will usually be one overarching, grand WIIFY that unites the entire presentation and is at the heart of your persuasive case. For example, when an entrepreneurial CEO and her management team launch an IPO road show for potential investors, the WIIFY is, “If you invest in our company, you’ll enjoy an excellent return on your money!” On the other hand, when a corporate headhunter makes a job offer to a sought-after young recruit, the WIIFY is, “If you join our firm, you’ll be starting an incredible career with great pay, fascinating challenges, and the prospect of some day becoming the company president!” When a partner in a marketing consulting firm makes a new-business proposal to the chief operating officer (COO) of a Fortune 500 company, the WIIFY might be, “If you hire us, the expertise we’ll provide will improve your promotional plans, increase your market share, and boost your profits—and your personal stock options will double in value!” There’s an old adage: “You can never be too thin or too rich. ” I propose to amend that with: “…or offer too many WIIFYs.” 16. According to the passage, the essence of Audience Advocacy in action is ________. A. to find the key building block for Audience Advocacy B. to discover a way to focus on benefits rather than features C. to shift the focus from you to your audience D. the ultimate need for all communicators to be focused on the needs of their audience rather than on their own needs 17. The acronym WIIFY probably means ________. A. what benefits your audience can get from your presentation B. what benefits you can get from your audience’s presentation C. what benefits you can get from my audience’s presentation D. what benefits your audience can get from my presentation 18. Why should you constantly seek the WIIFY in the persuasive situation? A. Because you give your audience a good reason to move from Point A to Point B. B. Because you can make your presentation stay focused on what matters most. C. Because you can get your audience to move from Point A to Point B. D. All of above. 19. The last paragraph indicates that________. A. you can not be so thin as what you want to be B. you can never bo so rich as what you expect to be C. the more WIIFY you offer, the better the result will be D. you can not offer too many WIIFY as you hope to 20. The best title for this passage could be ________. A. The Constantly Asked Question B. A Good Way to Focus on Benefits C. What’s in It for You D. The Key Building Block for Audience Advocacy ⾮选择题部分 注意事项： ⽤⿊⾊字迹的签字笔或钢笔将答案写在答题纸上，不能答在试题卷上。

Private Car in AmericaThe private automobile(私家车)has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.For farm families, the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools. Family life has been affected(影响)in different ways. The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can’t keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims(受害者)of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD(Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women want to prevent further tragedies(悲剧). They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formed a similar organization SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving)and are spreading the same message among their friends.For many Americans, the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to American, even though they cause a lot of environmental problems to people.1. People in the United States start to have their private automobile recently.A .True B.

Compose an essaySupply the missing paragraph1．The Positive Effects of Owning a Dog on Children Dogs are the best friend of children. The dog and the child teach each other things and they look after each other. Owning a dog can have positive effects on a child’s development. Having a dog develops a child’s sense of responsibility, broadens his capacity for empathy, and teaches him the nature of friendship. _____________________________________________________________________ _ Another lesson that a child can learn from having a dog is how to be empathetic.A dog cannot express itself with speech, so its owner must learn to understand what the dog’s behavior means. Is the dog frightened, aggressive, or sick? The child needs to understand what is going on in the dog’s mind. The result of learning to read a dog’s behavior is that the child develops mpathy. By learning how to empathize with a dog, the child also learns how to empathize with other people. This leads to the child becoming a more considerate and caring person. Being considerate and caring are important characteristics in a good friend. One of the most significant benefits of owning a dog is the example of true friendship that a dog provides. A dog gives unconditional love to its owner. A dog will not stop loving its owner because of a little anger, indifference, or neglect. A dog will wait patiently for its owner to pat its head and say a few kind words. This acceptance of the negative qualities and appreciation for the positive qualities of its owner provide a wonderful model of how to be a good friend. A child who has learned to be as good a friend to others as his dog is to him will have learned one of the most valuable lessons in life. These are some of the most important lessons a child will ever learn. The benefits of owning a dog will last in the child’s entire lifetime. The understanding and appreciation of responsibility, empathy, and friendship that a child develops from the experience of having a dog will help him or her grow into a reliable, caring, and mature adult.正确答案：Having a dog helps a child learn how to act responsibly. As a dog owner, the child must take care of the animal’s daily needs. The dog must be fed and exercised every day. The dog is completely dependent on its owner for all its needs, including the need for good health and a safe environment. If the child forgets any of these responsibilities, or ignores any of the dog’s needs, the dog will suffer. This teaches the child that his responsibility to the dog is more important than his desire to play with his toys, talk on the phone, or watch TV.Write an outline2．Acting out Metaphors Encourages Creative Thinking It happens in schools, offices, and boardrooms everywhere: someone working on a project hits a mental block A boss or teacher might resort to a metaphor like “think outside the box” or “put two and two together,” encouraging a creative solution to the problem. As it turns out, this isn’t just abstract advice. According to an upcoming issue of Psychological Science, literally working outside of a box or putting two halves of something together just might help those creative juices start flowing again. Since physical metaphors regarding creativity are so common and appearing in several different languages, a group of researchers hypothesized that they may extend beyond mere metaphors. Their stud-y indicates that acting out metaphors literally can affect how our minds work. In the first part of the study, the researchers asked 102 undergraduates to perform a Remote Associates Test (RAT), in which the subjects were given three seemingly unrelated words and asked to come up with a word that relates to each one. For example, the subject might be given “measure,”“worm,” and “video,” and the correct response would be “tape.”The participants were divided into three groups; one group was asked to perform this task while sitting inside a 5’ by 5’ cardboard box, another group sat outside the same box, and those in the third group performed the task without a box in the room at all. None of the participants knew the hypothesis behind the study; they were merely told it was an experiment on different working environments. There was no difference in performance between those inside the box and those with no box at all. However, the participants that were seated outside the box did much better on the RAT than the other two groups. Apparently, something about literally “thinking outside the box”encourages creativity. A second experiment looked at another well-known piece of advice, to “put two and two together” to come up with an answer. In the study, 64 subjects were divided into two groups. The first group had to perform a RAT while joining haves of cut paper cards from piles on each side of a desk. The second group performed a similar task, but only had to move card halves from one side of a desk to the other side. Those “putting two and two together “by uniting the two halves of the cards did far better on the RAT than those that were merely moving the cards from one pile to another. So, acting out metaphors linked to creativity really can help us think creatively. In fact, it does more than let us access the knowledge we presently have; it encourages us to come up with new, unique and creative ideas. Next time you’re stuck on a problem, take a minute to ponder—or even act out —your favorite metaphor, and you might happen upon a great solution.

Write a 300-word expository essay stating your opinion about what we can do as individuals to improve our environment.正确答案：How to improve our environment Nowadays, environment problems are becoming more and more influential to our daily lives than only appearing in newspapers and TVs, lectures or reports. For instance, in the last winter, foggy days with the so called PM2.5 caused a panic among citizens. People were afraid of the polluted air and chose to stay at home instead of going out. Protecting the environment is really an extremely urgent thing. As we all know, low carbon life was proposed in recent years and I think it would be a reasonable way to solve our environment crisis. We can figure out what benefits can be gained when we transfer this conception into a real existence, a low carbon campus. This simple shift of perspective can actually transform what used to be quite far away into something that is just around us. Take the use of electronic devices for example, when we choose to climb the stairs instead of using an elevator, when we prefer bicycles to cars, we are doing something fantastic for ourselves. Think about these activities as exercises that would not only keep us physically fit, but also spiritually energetic. If we turn off the computer when they are not in use, or even limit the hours we spend in front of them, we are not only saving the electricity, but also doing a favor to our body, preventing ourselves from too much exposure to radiation and other possible harms caused by computer. We can gain at the same tine a healthy and pain-free neck, and avoid sore muscles, worsening eyesight and so on. When we use natural wind, rather than fans or air conditioner to feel cool in summer, we are also reducing the possibilities of all the illness related to the electronic devices. What we eat can also contribute to the establishment of a low carbon campus. More vegetables and less meat mean that less carbon will be emitted in the process of producing and preparing for such foods. And this can also translate to a more balanced diet and healthier eating habits. Then many problems, such as overweight, tiredness or even high blood pressure and heart disease can be controlled to a certain extent when we get older. And this good eating habit actually benefits us for a life time, and what starts at campus goes a long way. From the above analysis, we can get the basic idea that when we are doing something to reduce the carbon campus, but at the same time, we are make positive changes for ourselves.。

During late prehistoric times, people began to build sledges with runners. When people developed agriculture and began to establish 21 settlements, trade between settlements started to develop, which created a need for better 22 of transportation. The donkey and the ox, which had been tamed for food products and farm work, helped 23 this need.

READING COMPREHENSION Read the two passages and choose the most likely answer to each of the questions. Blacken the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet. (2 points each, 20 points in all) Passage One If you are searching for a job, you have perhaps read lots of local newspapers with job vacancies, and certainly even visited an employment agency or firm to help you get the job of your dreams. Job hunting is not an easy task and one needs to be informed on how to find numerous advertisements of vacancies that suit your professional needs. There are a number of useful tips on how to write unique and good curriculum vitae (CV)(简历) documents that all job seekers should like. All this information can be obtained at no cost from most job sites. Today most recruitment companies advertise their vacancies on the job websites and this provides a free and accessible way to find thousands of jobs and one can feasibly apply for jobs within a very short time. Most recruitment portals (门户站) allow you to keep your CV with them and send it automatically to the human resources for consideration any time you apply for a job. This service also allows you to up-date your CV at any time and companies looking for employees will also be able to view your employment and qualification details and send you an application invitation without the need of your having to look for them. If you are looking for a job, you can start with the most popular and trusted sites that will give you a wide range of choices to select from. E-mail alerts can save you a lot of energy and time but one needs to specify the type of notifications she/he needs to receive depending on one’s career goals. You should also need to be keen on the deadline because most sites do not remove the list of jobs, whose deadline has already passed. In case the deadline is not indicated you can e-mail or call the employer to check the details. Before applying for a job it is advisable to read the terms and conditions of recruitment well to see whether you qualify for the position because it is pointless to apply for a post of which you do not meet the requirements. You need to expand your job search by browsing related categories or you can look for a job using alternative job titles in other areas, for instance, outside your locality, since an opportunity can present itself at the least expected place. Business sites are also becoming very popular and help many job seekers to create and develop relationships that will help them find a job. There are numerous job sites available but one needs to be very careful. There are people who use these sites to cheat innocent employment seekers. These sites also offer useful information and tips on how to find a job, write a CV, apply for a vacancy as well as tips on interviews. Some sites provide you with career coaches to give you all the information you need on jobs and can also help you find the right job that is in line with your career or profession. 41. What kind of service do most recruitment portals offer? A. They keep job seekers’ CVs. B. They publish job seekers’ CVs. C. They up-date CVs for job seekers. D. They prepare CVs for job seekers. 42.Which of the following can best explain the word “feasibly” in Paragraph 2?A. Directly.B. Effortlessly.C. Possibly.D. Immediately. 43. Which of the following can help you avoid wasting time on a job which does not exist?A. To ask for details.B. To check the deadline.0 0 C . T o i n q u i r e a b o u t p a y m e n t s . D .
