Whilethere are many benefits to using social media, such as staying connected with friends and family, there are also drawbacks, such as the spread of fake news and cyberbullying. In this essay, I will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of social media on society.One of the main benefits of social media is its ability to connect people from all over the world. Through platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, we can stay in touch with friends and family members who are miles away. Social media also allows us to share our ideas and opinions with a wider audience, making it easier to raise awareness about important issues.There are also drawbacks to using social media. One of the biggest concerns is the spread of fake news and misinformation. With the rise of social media, it has become easier for false information to spread rapidly, leading to confusion and distrust among users. Additionally, social media can be a breeding ground for cyberbullying and online harassment. Many people have fallen victim to cyberbullying, which can have serious consequences on their mental health.In conclusion, social media has both benefits and drawbacks on society. While it has transformed the way we communicateand share information, it also comes with risks such as the spread of fake news and cyberbullying. It is important for users to be aware of these dangers and use social media responsibly. Ultimately, social media is a powerful tool that can bring people together, but it should be used in a way that promotes positivity and kindness.Overall, the 2024 Anhui Province College English Entrance Examination covers a wide range of topics and tests students' reading comprehension, language skills, and writing abilities. Students are expected to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the English language in order to succeed in the exam. Good luck to all the students taking the exam!。

You should choose the best answers to the questions and mark the corresponding letters on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1It's easy to see how to help some people, but what about those whose needs are not so clear? This story happened not long ago, but it is a lesson that has stayed with me and helped me ever since.It was Thanksgiving and I was volunteering with my parents at a shelter for the poor. We served hot food to whoever came in. Most of these people looked as if they had been having hard times;their clothes were worn out and dirty. Then, a man came in, who looked anything but poor. He was well dressed. I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw(下巴)dropped in amazement when he joined the queue for food. What was this man doing? Surely he wasn't going to take food which was meant for those who were really in need!Then my mother quietly took me to one side. She said,“You have thought that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical. But what if his needs are emotional? What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be am ong other people?” Her words hit me like a ton of bricks! I felt like I should apologize to the man-but I didn't.About a week later the shelter received a large donation from an anonymous donor. I couldn't help but wonder if it came from that man.Now, whenever I meet someone, I will remember my mother's lesson and try to send kindness to him according to his needs, no matter how he looks. Needs aren't alwaysseen. But kindness always makes a difference.26. How did the author feel as the well-dressed man joined the queue for food?A. SurprisedB. ExcitedC. NervousD. Hopeless.27. What the author's mother said shows that we_____.A. shouldn't judge a man by his appearanceB. shouldn't complain to othersC. should give others what they wantD. should accept everything we meet28. What does the underlined word anonymous”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. ImportantB. UnknownC. IndependentD. Excellent.29. From the last paragraph, we learn that_____.A. seeing is believingB. it's difficult to be kind to othersC. some rich people pretend to be poorD. we should help people based on their needs30.What would be the best title for the passage?A. My Mother's Influence on My GrowthB. The Importance of VolunteeringC. One of My Most Shameful ExperiencesD. A Simple Lesson in KindnessPassage 2Red Dog was special.He was not one of those dogs who ran shouting into the wind in groups. He just loved walking with me. Sometimes, on the narrow road, he walked so close that his bright red fur brushed against my leg.“Red Dog,"I'd say, “each morning when we meet for the first time, why do you always look so glad?”Of course, Red Dog never made reply with words. If he wanted to say something, he spoke with his eyes, or the bend in his tail. However, since we were friends, that was enough.At night, Red Dog slept on the front porch, lying there and dreaming dreams of long summer daysand endless walks. His night-world filled up with the moon and stars, hoot-owl hoots, and ghostly white fogs that crept silently into the fields.Between dreams, I think that Red Dog must have awakened, raised his head, and looked around. Maybe then he became a little lonely. And probably he wondered why I got to sleep inside, but he had to sleep on the porch.But, you see, Red Dog lived in a time when dogs such as he were not allowed to go inside their masters' homes. In those days, most people didn't even believe that dogs had feelings, though I did.Yes, during those days when we walked in the fields and woods, Red Dog and I helped one another see things in special ways. Weedy roadsides were like museums and the fields of corn and beans around us were like circuses with many rings.31. Why was Red Dog special?A. Because he loved walking with the author.B. Because he could swim.C. Because he loved playing with other dogs.D. Because he could play with kids.32. What would Red Dog do to express himself?A. Raise his head.B. Use his eyes or tail.C. Lie down outside.D. Speak a human language.33. How might Red Dog feel when he awakened at night?A. Curious and excitedB. Terrified and lonely.C. Happy and excitedD. Lonely and puzzled.34. How did most people think about dogs in the story?A. Dogs could speak with words.B. Dogs didn't have feelings.C. Dogs could enter masters' houses.D. Dogs were people's friends.35.What is the passage mainly about?A. Bedrooms and yards.B. Fields and woods.C. Red Dog and his master.D. Museums and circuses.Passage 3For the past 28 years, barber Liu Jianjun and his team have been volunteering in Changchun. He and his team, which has 3,700 volunteers, have given free haircuts to around 80,000 people. They also volunteer to help those in need, such as seniors who live alone, and send them daily necessities during festivals.The 53-year-old has been helping others since he opened his barber shop in 1994.“I lost my mother when I was 6, and my father left home soon after,” he said. “I was raised by my grandmother and was looked after by my neighbors."So when he opened his barber shop, he decided to repay some of the kindness he had been shown.Every day he arrives at his shop an hour before opening to give free haircuts to people over 70. He also spends his spare time providing door-to-door service for those who have difficulty walking.His team members visit seniors to help them buy daily needs, move heavy objects and make repairs. They also offer free haircuts to deliverymen and sanitation workers.“ Fortunately, I got a lot of support from my team, friends and relatives, "he said.“The team is like a big family and its members care for and help each other. I really want to thank all of them.”The youngest member of his team is 7.“Several students have joined, and they volunteer with their parents," he said.“ When we visit nursing homes, they sing and dance, bringing the elderly a lot of pleasure."In 2014, Liu joined the Communist Party of China on the recommendation of his community. “Being a Party member is not only about status, but also about a heavy responsibility and a lifelong commitment," he said.“I am determined to progress further along the road of voluntary service.”36. What does the underlined word “volunteering"most probably mean?A. Living aloneB. Building new housesC. Raising childrenD. Offering to do things37. Why does barber Liu give free haircuts?A.

Festivals have value.C. Service is expensive.D. Kindness has power.Passage 4The Sun is undoubtedly the powerhouse of the solar system. The energy released from the Sun is equivalent to about 36 octillion (10 的48次方)lumens, where a lumen is a measure of the total amount of visible light. All the energy radiates out from the center of our solar system in the form of light, heat, gamma rays and X-rays,and magnetic fields. But in fact, the Sun's energy is generated in its core and moves outward to its surface where it is released as electromagnetic radiation. The heat, light and radiation that come from the Sun are all examples of electromagnetic radiation.It takes about 8 minutes for the electromagnetic radiation from the Sun to travel 93 million miles to the Earth. When it arrives, some of that solar energy is blocked or absorbed by the atmosphere, but what isn't blocked is absorbed or reflected by the air, land, water, plants and other matter that covers the surface of our planet. When the molecules in matter gain energy, they move more, vibrating in place or even bouncing off one another.Unlike electromagnetic radiation, heat must be transferred or conducted through matter. Some types of matter, like water, are really good at holding onto.this energy. Clouds of water particles and gases in the atmosphere absorb some of this heat too. This absorption of heat helps the Earth stay warm. It's one reason our planet stays at a livable temperature and doesn't change radically from freezing cold to blazing hot every day.Energy from the Sun makes it possible for life to exist on the Earth. It is responsible for photosynthesis in plants,vision in animals, and many other natural processes, such as the movements of air and water that creates weather. Most plants need at least some sunlight to grow, so without light, there would be no plants, and without plants, there would not be oxygen for us to breathe. Infrared radiation from the Sun is responsible for heating the Earth's atmosphere and surface. Without energy from the Sun,the Earth would freeze. There would be no winds, ocean currents or clouds to transport water.What's more, every day the Sun shines on the Earth, driving many chemical and physical changes across the planet. Light, which travels fastest in the world, helps people on the Earth clearly see the world.41. How far is the Sun from the Earth?A.8 miles.B. 11 million miles.C.13 miles.D.93 million miles.42. Light travels from the Sun to the Earth in the form of _______.A. wavesB. brain wavesC.sound wavesD. electromagnetic radiation43. Which of the following travels fastest?A. Car.B. Light.C. Plane.D. Wind.44.What are lumens used to describe?A. Brightness.B. Darkness.C. Liquid.D. Speed.45. What role does light play in life according to the passage?A. To make people have a better life.B. To help people conduct experiments.C. To help improve the environment.D. To help people see the world.Section 2 (5%)Directions: There is l passage in this section. Read the passage and complete the outline below it ( No. 46 to No.50). You should write your answers briefly ( in no more than three words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.If you have something valuable in mind, a service to offer, or an idea to develop, then you should tell it to other people to widen its scope. Why not make full use of it?The fact is that, when you have enough vision, you may have the courage. And then you simply have to pursue it, however crazy it might seem to others.Remember that everything starts from small things: Rome was not built in a day. Scientists say that everything in the universe comes from a smaller unit than you can possibly assume. So it doesn't matter where you are at present, because small beginnings become great things at last.Think big by enlisting(争取)others: To think big, you need to see yourself as a small part of a greater whole. Enlist people who arebetter than you. If you're not the most organized person , don't just be unhappy about it. You should find someone who is better.Big thinkers know their personal limitations. Gather people who can do what you can't do around you to make sure your dream will come true.Think big by focusing on future regrets: There is an old saying,“We regret not the things we did do, but the things we didn't do.”You'll never know how far it could go unless you see how far you can take something.If you have big plans, just close your eyes. And strongly imagine how regretful you will be if you don't try or attempt properly.Feel that it is your human duty to think big: When something is probably of real service to mankind, then it is a human duty to think and act big. Even if you don'tPart Ⅲ Translation-English into Chinese(20%)Directions: This part is to test your ability to translate English into Chinese. After each of the 5 sentences, numbered 51 to 55, you will read three choices of suggested translation marked A,B and C.You should choose the best translation and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. And for the paragraph numbered 56, you should write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.51. We expect Li Lei to sing a song.A.我们期待李磊唱首歌。

It plays a crucial role in conserving natural resources, reducing waste, and protecting the environment.One of the main benefits of recycling is its ability to conserve natural resources. By recycling materials such as paper, glass, and plastic, we can reduce the need to extract new raw materials from the earth. This helps preserve forests, water sources, and other natural habitats that are essential for biodiversity and ecosystem health.Additionally, recycling helps reduce waste by diverting materials from landfills and incinerators. This not only saves space in landfills but also prevents harmful chemicals from leaching into the soil and water. By recycling more and throwingaway less, we can reduce our impact on the environment and create a more sustainable future.Furthermore, recycling plays a key role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. When materials are recycled instead of being disposed of in landfills, fewer greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere. This helps combat climate change and reduce air pollution, benefiting both the environment and public health.In conclusion, recycling is an important practice that can have a positive impact on the planet. By conserving natural resources, reducing waste, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions, recycling helps protect the environment and create a more sustainable future for generations to come.16.

The impact of social media on societyIn recent years, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives, with billions of people around the world using platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to connect with others, share information, and express their thoughts and opinions. While social media has brought many benefits, such as facilitating communication and fostering social connections, it also has a number of negative impacts on society.One of the main impacts of social media is its potential to spread misinformation and fake news. With the rise of social media platforms, it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction, as false information can spread rapidly and reach a wide audience. This can have serious consequences, such as influencing public opinion, spreading fear and panic, and undermining trust in traditional media sources.In addition, social media has been linked to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. The constant exposure to idealized representations of others' livescan lead to feelings of inadequacy and discontent, as people compare themselves to unrealistic standards set by social media influencers. Moreover, the pressure to maintain a curated online persona can create feelings of isolation and disconnect from real-life relationships.Despite these negative impacts, social media also has the potential to be a force for positive change. It can be used to raise awareness about important social issues, mobilize communities for social justice causes, and amplify marginalized voices that are often ignored by mainstream media. By leveraging social media for good, individuals and organizations can effect meaningful change and create a more inclusive and equitable society.In conclusion, social media has a complex and multifaceted impact on society, with both positive and negative consequences. It is important for individuals to critically engage with social media and its content, and to be mindful of its potential effects on their mental, emotional, and social well-being.This sample test is provided for reference only.

Fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, are burned to make electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases pollution and carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the air. The more fossil fuels we burn, the warmer the air around Earth gets. So building fossil fuel plans is not always the best answer.Actually, there are other ways to make electricity without burning fossil fuels. People have been using the power of wind for centuries. Wind power won’t solve all our energy problems, but it can help meet some of the demands in certain places. Since the late 1800s, scientists have been working to turn the sun’s energy into electricity by using solar cells (太阳能电池). The problem is, solar cells are very expensive. Another way to make electricity is to use nuclear energy. It has been used for more than 50 years. Today about 10 percent of all the electricity used in the U.S.A. comes from this source.Although nuclear power doesn’t pollute the air as the burning of fossil fuels does, there is a major drawback . The waste products from nuclear power plants are dangerous and must be stored in safe places. Many people are concerned about the safety of nuclear power.51.The best title for this passage may be ________A.The Importance of ElectricityB.The Pollution of Making Electricity from Fossil FuelsC.The Advantage of Using Nuclear EnergyD.Means of Making Electrical Power52.Which energy has damage to us according to the passageA.Wind power B.Fossil fuelsC.Solar power D.Water power53.We can infer from the passage that _________A.burning fossil fuels to make electricity is widely usedB.wind power is a widespread way to make electricityC.energy problems will soon be solvedD.nuclear energy will solve all the energy problems we are facing54.What does the underlined word “drawback”(in meanA.effect B.advantage C.disadvantage D.concern55.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passageA.Fossil fuels should be encouraged to use to make electricityB.Not all the areas could use wind power.C.Solar energy costs the mostD.Using nuclear energy will not produce negative effect.Task 3Directions: This task to is the same as Task 1.A new study by the Development of Health in Taiwan shows that more than half of the adult population in Taiwan lacks an understanding of health problems.More than 2,000 adults took part in the survey to find out about their knowledge of diet, health-care, disease control and medicine. Surprisingly, only 51% of the people surveyed understand that common cold has no cure, and taking medicine is absolutely no use at all. The problem is mad worse by doctors who give their patients large doses of useless drugs. More than two-thirds believe that it is only the nicotine in cigarettes rather than the other chemicals that causes cancer. These people believe that if they smoke “light” cigarettes with less nicotine, they will lead to more illness, suffering and early death.But the outlook for health education in Taiwan is not all negative. The survey concludes that younger Taiwanese have a better understanding of health concerns than their parents, while senior citizens have the least understanding among the three age groups.56.The purpose of the survey is to find out _______A.why people neglect their healthB.what people know about healthC.when to provide health educationD.who is more likely to become ill57.Which of the following is TRUE about medicines for coldA.They can cure common cold.B.Doctors often discourage the patients from taking them.C.About 51% of the patients take them.D.Some Taiwanese take them unnecessarily.58.According to the survey, most Taiwanese believe that ____.A.only nicotine leads to cancerB.few people will get cancerC.”light ”cigarettes make people healthyD.other chemicals besides nicotine cause cancer59.About ______ of Taiwanese adults smokeA.one-third B.two-thirdsC.a half D.a quarter60.The survey shows that ________ have the best understanding of health concerns.A.senior citizens B.middle –aged citizensC.younger Taiwanese D.Taiwanese smokersTask 4Directions: The following is a business letter.
