Answer the questions on each text by choosing A,B,C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1A pioneering study by Donald Appleyard made the surprise sudden increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects a sudden increase in crime does. Appleyard observed this by fir house in San Francisco that looked much alike and had middle-class and working-class residents. The difference was that only2,000 cars a day ran down Octavia in Appleyard?s terminology while Gough Street (MEDIUM street) had 9,000 cars a day and Franklin Street (HEA VY street) had around 16,000 cars a day.Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia Street had in a day. Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes, and soot, directly, and trash secondarily. That is, the cars didn?t bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated, residents seldom picked it up. The cars, Appleyard determined, reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for. Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes. Many Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses. Most families with children had already left.Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up trash. They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors. They had three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin.On Gough Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased. People were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives. A number of families had recently moved. And more were considering it. Those who were staying expressed deep regret at the destruction of their community.46.Appleyard?s study focuses on the influence of ______.A.traffic volume on the residentsB.rate of crime on the neighborhoodC.social classes on the transportationD.degree of pollution on the environment47.Appleyard discovered that increase in the volume of traffic ______.A.made people more violentB.would lead to increase in crimeC.was accompanied by increase in crimeD.had the same effect on people as increase in crime48.The author?s main purpose in the second paragraph is to ______.A.discuss the problem of handling trashB.suggest ways to cope with traffic problemsC.point out the disadvantages of heavy trafficD.propose an alternative system of transportation49.People on Gough Street ______.A.felt sorry that their block had been pulled downB.felt indifferent about people moving outC.thought their old community was goneD.thought mostly of themselves50.What can we learn about Franklin StreetA.It is not a nice neighborhood for childreB.People often throw trash out as they drive througC.People there have made friends with people on OctaviD.People there own twice as many cars as people on Gough StreeText 2Imagine, if you will, the average games player. What do you see A guy who never grew up Or a nervous18-year-old pushing buttons on his controller, lost and alone in a violent onscreen world Sorry, you lose. The average gamer is starting to look pretty much like the average person. For the first time, according to a US poll commissioned by AOL Games, roughly half of those surveyed, ages 12 to 55, are tapping away at some kind of electronic game—whether on a PC, a cell phoneor another handheld device—for an average of three hours every week.The games people play say a lot about who they are. Machines like the Xbox and PlayStation 2 are largely the territory of twenty-something men, who prefer to picture themselves as sports …stars and racing d rivers. Men 50 and older prefer military games. Teenage girls are much more likely than boys to play games on their phone, while older women make up the majority of people playing card games such as Hearts on line.Is it a good thing, all this time spent on games Or is it as harmful as television, pulling people ever further from reality The AOL survey suggests some players are in denial about the extent of their habit. One in 10 gamers find it impossible to resist games;1 in 4 admits to losing a night?s sleep to play games; and another quarter has been too absorbed to have meals.But don?t think we?re all heading into a world with everyone plugged into, if not totally controlled by, his own game. Quite the contrary: gamers appear to be more engaged with reality than other kinds of couch potatoes. According to a comprehensive survey by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA-whose members, of course, want you to think video games are healthy), gamers spend an average of 23 hours a week volunteering and goingto church, concerts, museums and other cultural events. More enthusiastic gamers who play 11 hours a week or more spend ever more time out in the cultural world (34 hours).51. The AOL survey finds that electronic games ______.A.do not present a violent onscreen worldB.no longer keep gamers from growing upC.are no longer exclusive to young peopleD.are not as popular with teenagers as before52.Who does the author say tend to identify themselves with the characters in the gameA.Teenage girlB.Older womeC.Men in their 20D.Men 50 and olde53.When asked about the extent of their habit, some players ______.A.refused to provide an answer to this questionB.denied they were affected by electronic gamesC.wondered why they were asked such a questionD.stressed their interest in playing electronic games54.It can be inferred from the text that ______.A.electronic games are less harmful than televisionB.television viewers are more realistic than gamersC.television is more popular than electronic gamesD.gamers have less self-control than TV viewers55.According to the writer, the ESA members ______.A.have sufficient knowledge of gamesB.think their games are healthy productsC.serve as the role models for game playersD.are concerned about gamers' cultural activitiesText 3The ostrich, the largest bird in the world at present, lives in the drier regions of Africa outside the actual deserts. Because of its very long, powerful legs and the floating effect of its extended wings, it is able to run at great speed over considerable distances.The female ostrich normally produces about twenty eggs every rainy season. When the female ostrich begins to lay hereggs, however, she does not begin in her own nest. Instead she goes off in search of the nests of neighboring females and lays two or three eggs in each of them. By the time she has laid eight or nine eggs, she returns and lays the rest in her own nest.Because of the size of the eggs, the female ostrich cannot lay more than one every two days, so it takes her three weeks to finish laying in her own nest. During that period, she spends a lot of time away from her nest looking for food. And while she is off her nest, other females visit it to lay their eggs amongst hers. By the time she is ready to sit on the eggs to hatch them, there could be up to thirty eggs in her nest, over half of which are not her own.The female ostrich can comfortably cover only about twenty eggs when she is sitting on the nest so before settling down she pushes the surplus ten or so eggs out of the nest. The rejected eggs, however, never include any of her own. Each female is remarkably consistent in the size and shape of the eggs she produces, so it is not difficult for her to distinguish her own from those of strangers.Of all the eggs laid by a colony of ostriches, only a very small number hatch into young birds. There are times when nests are left unprotected, for there are too few males to sit on all the nests at night. Thus there are ample opportunities for their natural enemies to raid the nests and eat the eggs. In fact, nearly 80% of the nests are destroyed. But even if a particular female?s nest suffers this fate, there is a good chance that one or two of her e ggs will be hatched in the nest of one of her neighbors.56.We learn from the text that an ostrich can go a long distance at high speed as ______.A.it is a special kind of birdB.it lives in large desert areasC.it has special wings and legsD.it is the largest bird in the world57.Normally, in every rainy season, the female ostrich produces about ______.A.12 eggs in her nestB.18 eggs in her nestC.20 eggs in her nestD.30 eggs in her nest58.The female ostrich would push some of the eggs out of her nest because ______.A.she can only hatch her own eggsB.those eggs are unlikely to be hatchedC.those eggs are to be hatched by othersD.she can only hatch a limited number of eggs59.The female ostrich identifies her own eggs by their size and ______.A.colorB.numberC.shapeD.weight60.The female ostrich lays her eggs in her neighbors' nests most probably because ______.A.her nest -is not big enoughB.she cannot protect all her eggsC.she cannot tolerate all her eggsD.her nest is not comfortable enoughPart BDirections: Read the opinions given by five scholars on challenges facing today?s single women. For questions 61 to 65,match the name of each scholar (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedicated to his career, but that he doesn?t have to make a lot of money. The emphasis was always on finding a best frien d—a soul mate—someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive. So it doesn?t seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high-achieving men.Grise LevisonI think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you?d want to spend your life with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matching you and who is able to communicate and listen to trouble talk.Marry BrownIn recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the past. Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men. However, most of the women I interviewed felt that there were some men "out there" who would be attracted to smart women. The problem was finding them.Donna SmithI think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and children, but they aren?t willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probablyhave to give up some of their own individual pursuits and career goals. I think the definition of success includes both love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular order.Elizabeth BudyI think that people who have clone at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judgment about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It?s also true that they?re likely to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning power, which means that those marriages are likely to have more money in them.Now match the name of each scholar (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage.[B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable mar riage.[C] How to balance career with family is key to success.[D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul.[E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn?t a piece of cake.[F] Career success ensures a solid marriage.[G] Social assistance i s needed for today?s single women.61.____________________62.____________________63.____________________64.____________________65.____________________Section Ⅳ WritingDirections: You should write your responses to both Part Aand Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A1.

2009宫老师的考研英语预测与作文模板2009宫老师团队考研英语预测第一篇整理录入:coffeelotusWhat a thought-provoking drawing it is! As it is vividly revealed in the drawing above, a football goal-keeper is sparing no efforts to catch money while paying no heed to the ball. What is conveyed in the drawing is most meaningful to us and our society.The implied meaning of the drawing may be interpreter in terms of responsibility, credibility and morality. To begin with, the sense of responsibility, credibility and morality must be established in different walks of life. Bothenterprises and individuals should honor professional responsibility, credibility and morality so as to realize self-value. Otherwise, resulting consequences would do harm to the public of our whole society. Sometimes the international image of our country could be spoiled. What’s more, it should be realized that money is the root of all evil. If an enterprise or individual is only money-oriented, it or he would care nothing about professional responsibility, credibility and morality but making profits by all means. Eventually the enterprise or individual could break the law and go astray. In sum, responsibility, credibility and morality should never be neglected in our work and life.Take Sanlu for example. Sanlu is a well-known brand in Chinese milk industry. In order to pursue the maximum profits, a certain chemical is mixed in its milk powder for babies. As a result, many babies who have consumed its milk fall illlittle acorns grow. As it is vividly demonstrated in the drawing above, an PLA army-man has set himself a goal and then divided the goal into small but concrete targets so as to carry out his plan step by step. What is conveyed in the drawing is most instructive and thought-provoking.The implied meaning of the drawing can be interpreted with respect to the goal of life, patience and persistence. To begin with, it should be realized that nothing seek, nothing find. As a social being, self-development is of importance.A definite goal, which is based on personal interests and abilities, must be set up so as to make out ideal come true. What’s more, we should bear the proverbs in mind that “Fool’s haste is no speed” and “Every little makes”. Nothing could be achieved ov ernight. And to achieve one’s goal is no exception. It needs a processand constant efforts. In sum, drops of water outwear the stone.Take Deng Yaping for example. Deng is a super table-tennis player and has snatched numerous gold medals in international events. However, it is hardly known that Deng began her training when she four years old. It is Deng’s sweat, tears, patience and persistence that have helped her achieve her goal. As a saying goes:” Slow and steady win the race”.第三篇What a humorous and thought-provoking drawing it is! As it is vividly revealed in the drawing, nearly all the goldfish jump into the big tank which is labeled with the words “metropolis” so that they face fierce competition and cruel survival condition. No fish is willing to stay in small towns and countryside. What is conveyed in the drawing is realistic and most meaningful.The mail purpose of the painter can be briefly interpreted in terms of wise choice and sacrifice spirit. To begin with, discretion is the better part of valour. It is no doubt that the metropolis is intriguing with respect to our career andself-development. However, when a metropolis is over-crowded with talents, we need to have a second thought in making a wise choice. We also need to be aware of the old sayings that “ One man’s meat is another man’s poison” and “Every man has his price.” Therefore the place that suits us should be the best and wise choice for us. What’s more, sacrifice spirit should be enhanced among young talents. It must be recognized that self-development and our career can not be separated from the growth of our motherland. Without the growth of small towns, and the vast rural areas, China can not develop. As a modern talent, we must combine our personal pursuit with the development of our nation in making career choice. In sum, both wisdom and sacrifice spirit should be taken into account in choice-making.As far as I am concerned, the West is my best choice. First of all, I was born andgrew up there so that I intend to start my career in the West which I am most familiar with. Besides, as a student of agronomy, it is my duty to take roots in the rural area of the West. When I was young, my teacher asked me to recite:” I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country”. Now it’s time for me to cash my promise.metropolis n.①首都；首府；大都会; ②(商业，艺术等的)中心，中心地;valour n.[书面语](尤指在战争中)英勇，勇猛；刚毅; Discretion is the better part of ~.[谚]谨慎为勇敢之本；有智才有勇(常用作诙谐语，实质是掩饰懦怯的遁词). discretion n.①谨慎；考虑周到;sacrifice n.①[U] 献祭；牺牲;rural a.①乡村的，农村的，乡村风味的;第四篇It is well-known that one cannot put back the clock. As it is realistically demonstrated in the drawing above, great changes have taken place with the passage of time. In the year of 2008, a young man is effortlessly searching online while in 1978 a scholar was working hard to hunt for materials among piles of books. What is conveyed in the drawings is both realistic and most meaningful.The implied meaning of the drawing above can be interpreted in terms of the great changes and Opening-up and Reform Policy. To begin with, greatchanges over the past 30 years should be attributed to the Opening-up and Reform since 1978. In 1978 China launched the Opening-up and Reform, which has greatly promoted the rapid growth of our national economy. The enhancement of our economy has bought about the robust development of science and technology have changed our way of study and work. Modern science and technology have bought us the most efficient means of work and study. More materials are available and much information can be obtained instantly and immediately be means of internet and other hi-tech devices. The world is getting small and people are closer. In sum, thanks to the Opening-up and Reform, great changes have taken place over the past 30 years.In fact, great changes have taken place in various aspects of our life besides science and technology. Over the past 30 years, education has had a great stride.College education is no longer a dream for the majority of young people. Our living standards have been greatly improved. We’ve got enough food and our clothes are more colorful. On the whole, great changes derive from the great policy and constant efforts.第五篇What a moving drawing it is! As it is vividly revealed in the drawing above, all Chinese are actively making their share donation for the victims in Sichuan earthquake to show their care, which forms a flow of great love. What is conveyed in the drawing is both inspiring and most meaningful.The implied meaning of the drawing can be interpreted in terms of great love, unity and courage. First of all, blood is thicker than water. Great love is one of the essential virtues of our nation.Historically, whenever people in one region are hit by natural disasters, people living in other regions would lend their hands to dedicate their love and care, which is the core and nature of Chinese civilization. What’s more, in unity there is strength. Unity is another essential and traditional virtue of our nation. Whenever we encounter hardships, Chinese of 56 nationalities would show more unity to face and overcome difficulties hand in hand and arm in arm. To Chinese, there is nothing to fear but fear itself. In sum, great love, unity and courage are the cornerstone of our national soul.In my view, the future of Sichuan will be more promising. First of all, governments at different levels put much stress on the rehabilitation of earthquake-stricken areas. Besides, more love and care will constantly flow to Sichuan from people in different parts of our motherland. Most importantly, peoplein Sichuan have a long history of wisdom, industriousness and bravery. Sichuan’s tomorrow must be more attractive. rehabilitation n.①修复；恢复；复兴；整顿补充;第六篇It’s always a pleasure to greet a friend from afar. As it is vividly demonstrated inthe drawing above, the flame of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games has attracted friends from all over the world. Foreign friends are enjoying the Chinese traditional dragon-dancing with their national flags in their hands. What is conveyed in the drawing is both inspiring and thought-provoking.The implied meaning of the drawing can be interpreted in terms of development, peace and exchanges. To begin with, the Opening-up and Reform has borne fruits. The Opening-up and Reform since 1978 has brought about great changes and development in economy, which promotes the growth of Chinese sports. What’s more, the Olympic Games help to enhance the peace and exchanges all over the globe. The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is an opportunity for China to display itself. The arrival of foreign friends makes the world get to know a real China and also help us toknow the world. In sum, it’s the Opening-up and Reform and the Beijing Olympic Games that promote our national sports and the growth of international exchanges.In my view, the successful hosting of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is natural. First of all, people all over the world long for peace instead of war. Besides, Chinese people in different walks of life have made great efforts for the preparation of the 2008 Olympics. Only by exchanges and understanding can China develop and the whole international community keep peace and stability.borne vbl.生, 负荷第七篇As you sow, so shall you reap. As it is humorously revealed in the drawing above, a crane is being utilized to construct buildings. The buildings are invading more and more farming land which provides us with grain. Consequently our rice bowl will be spoiled and food crisis is inevitable. What is conveyed in the drawing is most meaningful and thought-provoking.The aim of the painter can be analyzed in terms of urban development and food supply. First of all, a rational plan must be made with respect to urban development. With the increase of population, urbansprawling runs rampant and farming land is turned into residential areas. New buildings are erected by each passing day. Random invasion of farming land must be immediately stopped. What’s more, the sense of farming land protection must be cultivated. We cannot survive without food. Food crises can lead to many social problems. It can destroy social stability and even ignite war. In sum, random urban sprawling can no longer neglected and the protection of farming land is a must.In my view, urgent measures need to be made and taken so as to protect farming land and avoid food crisis. On one hand, a nation wide education campaign should be launched to raise the public’s awareness of protecting farming land. On the other hand, laws must be set up to punish those who destroy farming land. Only in these ways can we keep a sustainable development.Crane 吊车,鹤,起重机utilize v.利用grain n.①[U]谷物，谷类(总称);rational a.①理性的，推理的;sprawl vi.①伸展手足卧或闲坐②(植物)蔓延；(建筑物等)无计划地延伸;rampant蔓延的,无约束的ignite vt.①点燃，点火;②使兴奋；激动; sustainable a.足可支撑的, 养得起的, 可以忍受的sustainable development 可持续发展第八篇It is well-known that “They that sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind”. As it is vividly demonstrated in the drawing above, owing to the waste gas emitted by motor vehicles, the global warming effects have become more apparent, with the temperature reaching 45℃. What is conveyed in the drawing is both shocking and thought-provoking.The main purpose of the painter can be analyzed in terms of global warming and greenhouse effect. To begin with, it must be recognized that the earth is endangered by global warming and greenhouse effects. Because of the certain ways of the modern life, the only habitat of human being has already been destroyed severely. The atmosphere of the earth is damaged by the waste gases emitted by motor vehicles and factories. The temperature is climbing and the ice is melting by each passing year due to the emission. The earth is in danger. What’smore, it must be realized that the global warming and greenhouse effects are caused by human being. Certain ways of modern life and blind economic development have resulted in the global warming and greenhouse effects. Only human being can reverse the current grim status before it is too late. In sum, global warming can no longer be neglected and the outcome of tragedy is now up to human being.In my view, some urgent measures must be taken without any delay. On one hand, an education campaign should be launched to popularize the importance of environmental protection among the general public. On the other hand, laws and regulations must be established to curb the emission of waste gases. Only in these ways can we own a permanent habitat and keep sustainable development.campaign n.战役, 运动, 活动; v.参加活动第九篇It is well-known that “As you brew, so must you drink”. As it is vividly revealed in the drawing above, the earth is suffering disasters of various kinds including tropical storm, tornado, volcanic eruption and earthquake. What is conveyed in the drawing is realistic and thought-provoking.The main purpose of the painter can be analyzed in terms of the incidence of disaster and environment protection. To begin with, the increase in frequency of disaster over the past years shouldarouse our self-reflection on human action. It must be recognized that some of the disasters are at least partially caused by human being. Deforestation, emission of waste gases and other human activities run rampant and destroy the natural balance. Flood, drought and landslide are among the most common disasters. What’s more, the increase in frequency of disaster call for immediate responses of human being before it is too late. The earth is the only habitat of human being and we have no place to hide from disasters. Since some of the disasters result from human misconducts, we must rectify our misdeeds without any delay so as to alleviate the suffering of the earth and rescue ourselves. In sum, to alleviate the pain of the earth is to alleviate the pain of human being, which needs our discrete reflection and immediate action.In my view, urgent measures must be taken in order to rescue the earth andhuman being. On one hand, an education campaign should be launched to popularize the importance of environmental protection among the general public. On the other hand, laws and regulations must be established to curb the worsening of the environment. Only in these ways can we keep a sustainable development.brew n.酿造酒, 蕴酿; v.酿造, 蕴酿tropical storm 热带风暴tornado 龙卷Volcanic Eruption火山爆发self-reflection反省deforestation滥伐,滥伐林木rampant蔓延的,无约束的drought干旱,旱灾landslide滑坡,塌方misconduct n.①不端行为rectify vt.①纠正，订正，矫正；整顿; discrete不连续的,分离,分立的,分散的,离散,稀疏的第十篇It is well-known that “God helps those who help themselves”. As it is vividly revealed in the drawing above, a disabled athlete is running with all his efforts. Without legs, he is running with the spirit of struggling and courage. What is conveyed in the drawing above is both inspiring and instructive.The mail purpose of the drawing above can be interpreted in terms of self-confidence, bravery and the spirit of struggling. To begin with, it should be recognized that “ Nothing is impossible toa willing heart.” In our daily life, work and study, we often encounter hardship and difficulties. And sometime our task is really demanding. Only self-confidence can help us tide over difficulties. What’s more, it should be realized that “Fortune favors the brave”. In our routine life and work, we will meet with insurmountable difficulties. Occasionally we do feel helpless and fall in desperate situation. In this case, to be or not to be, it depends on whether we have enough courage to struggle with bravery. Only by the spirit of struggling can we have a silver lining. In sum, self-confidence, bravery and the spirit of struggling are the chord of life.Take Zhang Haidi for example. Zhang was paralyzed with high fever when she was a little girl. However, she did not give up her life. She learned English from radio and later translated and published a novel entitled Seaside Diagnosis. Besides she has been active in the social work for thedisabled and was elected president of the National Association of the Disabled of PRC. Zhang has set a good example for all of us. We should “Never say die”.chord n.弦, 和音, 情绪第十一篇A bad workman always blames his tool. As it is vividly revealed in the drawing above, a football match just ends and aloser is beating football with his belt to vent his frustration and resentment. What the drawing intends to convey is realistic and most meaningful.The implied meaning of the drawing can be analyzed in terms of the failure and attitude. To begin with, it must be recognized that failure is the mother of success. No cross, no crown. There is a crook in the lot of every one. The most important thing is that we should keep an objective and upbeat attitude when we encounter failure and frustration. What’s more, experience is the best teacher. No one can avoid the ups and downs in daily life, work and study. In fact, frustration and failure are wealth of our life. When we fail, we must keep a clear mind and make a thorough self-reflection so as not to make the same mistake. It is no use crying over spilt milk and blaming others. In sum, proper treatment of frustration and establishment of right attitude arenecessary ingredients of our life and work.Take Du Li for example. Du is a woman shooter of our national team. On the first day of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games she failed to win gold medal. She cried and was very upset, but she summed up the cause of her failure instead of blaming others. Two days later, she stood on the platform of gold medalist. From her story, we realize that attitude is everything. vent n.排气口; v.发泄resentment n.怨恨, 愤恨crook n.钩, 弯曲部份, 恶棍; v.弯曲, 诈骗lot n.运气, 签, 一堆upbeat n.[音]弱拍; 上升; 兴旺thorough a.十分的, 彻底的第十二篇The tree is known by its fruit. As it is vividly revealed in the drawing above, a referee is showing a punishing card to a football player who is spitting on the match ground. What the drawing intends to convey is most realistic and thought-provoking.The main purpose of the painter can be briefly interpreter in terms of manners and behaviors. To begin with, it must be recognized that bad manners should be removed. At present, it is not uncommon that some people spit here and there. Smoking and shouting in public placesalso run rampant. A healthy and harmonious society cannot be built until such bad manners and behaviors are curbed. What’s more, it is apparent that bad manners and behaviors can result in side-effects not only at home but also abroad. Since the Opening-up and Reform in 1978, more international exchanges have been conducted. More and more Chinese go abroad to live, study or word. It is no denying that the show of any of their bad manners and behaviors will damage our national image on the international stage. In sum, bad manners and behaviors must be done away with before it is too late.In my opinion, some necessary moves must be immediately taken so as to ensure a civilized environment. On one hand, a nation-wide campaign must be launched to raise the public’s awareness of good manners and behaviors. On the other hand, relevant laws and regulationsmust be established to punish those performing bad manners. Only in these ways can we create a healthy and harmonious society.第十三篇What a shocking bar chart it is! As it is accurately demonstrated in the bar chartabove, vertebrate species decreased steeply from 1970 to 2003, with terrestrial species, fresh water species and marine species declining 31,28 and 27 percent respectively. What is conveyed in the chart is alarming and thought-provoking.The main causes for the sharp decrease can be interpreted in terms of over-hunting, over-fishing and pollution. To begin with, over-hunting and over-fishing have resulted in the decline of vertebrate species. As the global population is increasing, it poses a threat to vertebrate species. People view vertebrate species as the main source of meat. It is apparent that the number of vertebrate is bound to dive due to population explosion and the resulting over-hunting and over-fishing. With the rapid growth of economy, one factory after another is built all over the world. Consequently, many terrestrial specieshave lost their habitat. Modern industry also bring with it pollution. Factories discharge much waste water into river, lake, sea and ocean, thus contaminating the water on which freshwater and marine species depend. In sum, destructive activities of human being have led to the diving of vertebrate species.In my view, necessary moves must be taken without any delay so as to protect vertebrate species. On one hand, a world-wide campaign should be launched to raise the public’s awareness of protecting vertebrate species. On the other hand, laws and regulations must be set up to punish those who hurt vertebrate species. Only in these ways can we keep a sustainable development. vertebrate有脊椎的,脊椎动物steeply ad.险峻地terrestrial地球居民,陆栖动物,陆生植物,地球上的,陆地的,陆栖的,陆生的marine a.①海的；海生的；海产的; respectively ad.各自地，分别的;contaminate污染,损害第十四篇What an amazing bar chart it is! As it is accurately revealed in the bar chart above the number of Chinese netizens was climbing from 2004 to 2007, with the number reaching 210 million in 2007. What is demonstrated in the chart is both encouraging and most meaningful.The main reasons for the apparentincrease of Chinese netizens can be interpreted in terms of science and technology and the Opening-up and Reform. To begin with, science and technology have created a new world. Over the past years, great changes have been taken place in the field of science and technology. Internet is the symbol of information era, which connects the world and considerably improves of efficiency of our life, work and study. What’s more, Opening-up and Reform has broadened Chinese people’s horizon. Since 1978, great progress has been made not only in the living standards but also in the liberation of our mind. More people have recognized the importance of information and efficiency. As a result, internet has entered both our office and home. In sum, the growth of science and the improvement of our mind contribute to the increase of Chinese netizens.In my view, the trend of netizenincrease will continue in china. On one hand, our government places more stress on the integration with the international world and the wide application of modern technology. On the other hand, Chinese are becoming more aware of the significance of information. The day when neitizen means citizen is around the corner.第十五篇What an alarming diagram it is! As it is accurately revealed in the diagram above, the economic loss which is caused by the extreme climate apparently skyrocketed from 1995 to 2005, with the average loss reaching 200 billion yuan. What is obviously demonstrated in the diagram is shocking and thought-provoking.The main reasons for the great loss caused by extreme climates can be analyzed in terms of global environment and prevention awareness. To begin with, it must be recognized the environmental destruction has led to the grim situation.Over the past decades, with the rapid development of economy and the population explosion, human activities have severely damaged our environment. Deforestation, emission of waste gases and other destructive actions are not uncommon. All these result in the occurrence of extreme climates. What’s more, the ignorance of prevention knowledge aggravates the negative consequence. Generally speaking, most people lack the awareness of biological balance and never reflect on the causes of extreme climates. As a result, they make no efforts for the prevention of extreme disasters. In sum, both environmental destruction and ignorance of prevention knowledge have led to the heavy economic loss caused by extreme climates.In my opinion, necessary measures must be immediately taken so as to reverse the grim situation. On one hand, anation-wide education campaign should be launched to make the public realize the importance of environmental protection. On the other hand, relevant prevention knowledge must be spread so as to minimize the economic loss caused by extreme climates. Only in these ways can we maintain sustainable development.小作文部分第16篇A Letter of ApplicationDear Sir or Madam,I, the undersigned, am a student of Beijing university of Science and Technology.
