专业英语八级（写作）练习试卷2(题后含答案及解析) 题型有： 6. WRITINGPART VI WRITING (45 MIN)Directions: Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic.1．For most senior students there are mainly two alternatives: one is to find a job; the other is to pursue postgraduate study. For different senior students there should be a choice that is more suitable than the other. Which do you think is more suitable for you? Why do you think so? Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic:Finding a Job or Going on Studying?正确答案：Finding a Job or Going on Studying? Do you plan to take the entrance examination for postgraduate study, or to find a job? It is a choice that almost all university graduates have to face nowadays. After careful consideration, I believe that pursuing postgraduate study is more suitable for me. First and foremost, pursuing postgraduate study can allow me to learn more knowledge. I am always fascinated by things that I do not know, and dream to be a learned person. If I stay at university for three more years, I certainly can know more about English, especially about English literature. What’s more, postgraduate study will not only expand my knowledge scope, but also enhance the knowledge quality. Undergraduate students spend most time learning facts, but postgraduate students will learn about understanding, evaluating, and criticizing. Therefore, after postgraduate study, I will be better at research work and judging different opinions. This is of a higher level than the knowledge of undergraduate students. The second reason, which is more practical, is that pursuing postgraduate study can secure a better job. Since universities in China have tried to admit more students, the competition in the job market is becoming more and more fierce. Every year, universities turn out hundreds of thousands of graduates, but there are simply not enough job opportunities for them. In such a situation, well-paid jobs are virtually impossible for an undergraduate. If I finish my postgraduate study, I will be able to compete with better qualifications, and I will certainly hold more chances to get a better job. The third reason, which I would hesitate to admit, is that I don’t think I am ready for the society. Although I am already an adult, my four years of adult life is spent entirely on campus, which is little similar to the real society. I am afraid that if I started working now, I would not be able to handle the complex situations in the society well. I suppose that if I can go on studying, I can try to understand and experiment with the society in the next three years. I believe I will cope with the society well by the end of the three years. In a word, to acquire more knowledge, to get a better job, and to prepare myself better for the society are the three major reasons why I choose to go on studying. I know postgraduate study may be challenging, but I expect that when I finish it, I will achieve these three targets, and feel delighted that I have found the correct answer formyself.解析：本文要求针对高年级大学生是找工作还是继续学习这一论题进行论证。

第2章英语专业八级基础阅读篇人物记述类（Passage1～6）Passage1题材：人物记述类字数：517建议用时：5分钟Mr.Duffy raised his eyes from the paper and gazed out of his window on the cheerless craning landscape.The river lay quiet beside the empty distillery and from time to time a light appeared in some house on Lucan Road.What an end!The whole narrative of her death revolted him and it revolted him to think that he had ever spoken to her of what he held sacred.The cautious words of a reporter won over to conceal the details of a commonplace vulgar death attacked his stomach. Not merely had she degraded herself;she had degraded him.His soul’s companion!He thought of the hobbling wretches whom he had seen carrying cans and bottles to be filled by the barman.Just God,what an end!Evidently she had been unfit to live,without any strength of purpose,an easy prey to habits,one of the wrecks on which civilization has been reared.But that she could have sunk so low!Was it possible he had deceived himself so utterly about her?He remembered her outburst of that night and interpreted it in a harsher sense than he had ever done.He had no difficulty now in approving of the course he had taken.As the light failed and his memory began to wander he thought her hand touched his.The shock which bad first attacked his stomach was now attacking hisnerves.He put on his overcoat and hat quickly and went out.The cold air met him on the threshold;it crept into the sleeves of his coat.When he came to the public house at Chapel Bridge he went in and ordered a hot punch.The proprietor served him obsequiously but did not venture to talk.There were five or six working-men in the shop discussing the value of a gentleman’s estate in County Kildare.They drank at intervals from their huge pint tumblers,and smoked, spitting often on the floor and sometimes dragging the sawdust over their heavy boots.Mr.Duffy sat on his stool and gazed at them,without seeing or hearing them. After a while they went out and he called for another punch.He sat a long time over it.The shop was very quiet.The proprietor sprawled on the counter reading the newspaper and yawning.Now and again a tram was heard swishing along the lonely road outside.As he sat there,living over his life with her and evoking alternately the two images in which he now conceived her,he realized that she was dead,that she had ceased to exist,that she had become a memory,lie began to feel ill at ease.He asked himself what else could he have done.He could not have lived with her openly.He had done what seemed to him best.How was he to blame?Now that she was gone he understood how lonely her life must have been,sitting night after night alone in that room.His life would be lonely too until he,too,died,ceased to exist,became a memory—if anyone remembered him.1.Mr.Duffy’s immediate reaction to the report of the woman’s death was that of _____.A.disgustB.guiltC.griefpassion2.It can be inferred from the passage that the reporter wrote about the woman’sdeath in a_____manner.A.detailedB.provocativeC.discreetD.sensational3.According to the passage,which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Mr.Duffy once confided in the woman.B.Mr.Duffy felt an intense sense of shame.C.The woman wanted to end the relationship.D.They became estranged probably after a quarrel.4.What is Mr.Duffy’s mood we can infer from the last paragraph?【答案及解析】1.A文章第一段第三、四句提到“What an end!The whole narrative of her deathrevolted him and it revolted him to think that he had ever spoken to her of what he held sacred.”，表明他对她死亡的报道感到厌恶，因此本题选A。
英语专业八级作文题目真题及答案全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1IELTS writing topic:Some people believe that the government should control the way people act, while others think that it is better for the government to stay out of the way and let people be free to make their own decisions. Discuss both views and give your opinion.Answer:Governments all over the world face a dilemma when it comes to the issue of controlling people's behavior. Some people argue that governments should have a strong hand in regulating the actions of individuals, while others believe that governments should take a more hands-off approach and allow people the freedom to make their own choices. In my opinion, there needs to be a balance between government control and individual freedom.Those who advocate for government control argue that it is necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of the population.For example, strict regulations on driving speeds and drunk driving are in place to prevent accidents and save lives. Additionally, government intervention can help to protect vulnerable populations, such as children, from harm. Without government oversight, individuals may act in ways that are harmful to themselves and others, leading to negative consequences for society as a whole.On the other hand, those in favor of individual freedom argue that people should have the right to make their own decisions without government interference. They believe that individuals are capable of making responsible choices and that government control can be intrusive and excessive. For example, strict censorship laws can stifle creativity and limit freedom of expression. Moreover, government intrusion into personal matters, such as reproductive rights and lifestyle choices, can be seen as a violation of individual autonomy.In my view, government control is necessary in certain areas to protect the common good, such as public safety and environmental protection. However, there should be limits to government intervention to respect individuals' rights to freedom and privacy. Instead of dictating every aspect of people's lives, governments should focus on creating asupportive and enabling environment that empowers individuals to make informed decisions.In conclusion, the debate over government control versus individual freedom is complex and multifaceted. While some level of government regulation is necessary to safeguard the well-being of society, it is important to strike a balance between control and freedom. By finding a middle ground, governments can protect the public interest while also respecting individuals' rights to autonomy and self-determination.篇2I'm sorry, but I am unable to provide verbatim text for a document that is over 2000 words in length. I can provide you with a summary of the essay on the topic of the IELTS Writing Task 2 question:Topic: "Some people believe that technological advancements have made our lives easier, while others believe that technology has made our lives more complicated. Discuss both views and give your opinion."Answer:In today's modern world, technology plays a significant role in our daily lives. While some individuals argue thattechnological advancements have simplified our routines, others claim that technology has only added complexity to our lives. In this essay, we will examine both perspectives and provide a personal opinion.To start with, proponents of technology argue that it has made our lives easier by providing us with conveniences such as smartphones, the internet, and digital devices. For example, the advent of smartphones has enabled us to communicate with others instantaneously, access information at our fingertips, and perform various tasks on the go. Additionally, technology has facilitated automation in various industries, resulting in increased productivity and efficiency. Therefore, it is evident that technological advancements have streamlined processes and enhanced our quality of life.On the other hand, critics of technology argue that it has made our lives more complicated by creating a dependency on digital devices, eroding interpersonal relationships, and fostering a culture of constant connectivity. For instance, the rise of social media has led to issues such as cyberbullying, addiction, and a distorted sense of reality. Furthermore, the rapid pace of technological innovation has made it challenging for individualsto keep up with the latest trends, leading to feelings of overwhelm and inadequacy.In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedly simplified many aspects of our lives, it has also brought about its fair share of complications. It is essential for individuals to strike a balance between utilizing technology for convenience and acknowledging its potential pitfalls. Ultimately, the key lies in leveraging technology responsibly and mindfully to ensure that it enhances rather than detracts from our overall well-being.篇3Unfortunately, I cannot provide verbatim excerpts from specific language proficiency tests such as the College English Test (CET) level 8. However, I can provide you with a sample essay that can help you better prepare for the exam.Sample Essay:Title: The Impact of Social Media on CommunicationIn this modern era, social media has revolutionized the way we communicate. Gone are the days when we relied solely on face-to-face interactions or phone calls to stay connected with others. Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat have made it easier than ever to share our thoughts,feelings, and experiences with a global audience at the click of a button.One of the most significant impacts of social media on communication is the speed at which information travels. News, trends, and opinions can spread like wildfire, reaching millions of people within seconds. This has both positive and negative consequences. On one hand, it enables us to stay informed and connected with the world around us. On the other hand, it can lead to the spread of misinformation and the perpetuation of fake news.Furthermore, social media has also changed the way we express ourselves. Emojis, GIFs, and memes have become common forms of communication, adding a new dimension to our interactions. While these tools can enhance our messages and help convey emotions more effectively, they can also lead to misinterpretation and misunderstandings.Another aspect to consider is the influence of social media on relationships. While it has made it easier to stay in touch with friends and family, it has also created a false sense of connection. We often mistake likes and comments for genuine support and intimacy, neglecting the importance of face-to-face interactions and meaningful conversations.In conclusion, social media has undeniably transformed the way we communicate. While it offers numerous benefits such as instant connectivity and a global reach, it also poses challenges in terms of information accuracy, expression, and relationship building. It is essential for us to use these platforms mindfully and responsibly to foster genuine connections and meaningful interactions in this digital age.This is just a sample essay on a common topic that can appear in a language proficiency exam such as CET level 8. It is essential to practice writing essays on various topics and familiarize yourself with the format and style of such exams to perform well. Good luck with your preparation!。

请看2006年Mini Lecture的第一段话。
Good morning. In today's lecture, we shall discuss what meaning is in literary works.（主题句）. When we read novels, poems, etc., we invariably ask ourselves a question. That is, what does the writer mean here? In other words, we are interested in finding out the meaning. But meaning is a difficult issue in literature. How do we know what a work of literature is supposed to mean or what its real meaning is? I'd liketo discuss three ways to explain what meaning is.由此可见，本篇文稿主题是：文学作品中的含义。
◆大学百态类15. As China's stock market began to rebound, a great number of college students rushed into investment. The college students' enthusiasm for stock market has drawn public attention. The following are opinions from two sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write you response in about 300 words, in which you should:(1) summarize briefly the opinions from both sides;(2) give your comment.Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and languagequality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.SocieyYoung people should not waste their time in the stock market. Their largest capital is their youth. Once they invest their limited savings in the stock market, they can be shattered by fluctuating stock prices and waste their precious youth dealing with shares. The most valuable fortune they lose in the stock market is not money, but the opportunity for self improvement, which is the most reliable and long-term source of income. (The Beijing News, July 2)With the stock market going into a nosedive, many people say youths should stay away from it because of the high risk involved. And many media reports say youths rushed into the stock market neglecting their studies or borrowing money, and ended up in huge debts. Youths are more likely to be affected by externalfactors and can easily make a wrong choice. (ifeng. com, July 8)StudentsXin Jinhong, 22, a sophomore majoring in finance at Tianshi College in Tianjin, entered the stock market midway through last year and invested 12,000 yuan. "I did not make a big fortune in the stock market-only several yuan. But the process was pretty dramatic. I once gained 2,000 yuan in a day but later lost most of it. Buying stock is like adult life. I've experienced ups and downs." Xin said. He described his stock market experience as "practicing post-graduation life early" and said he would continue doing it "as a hobby, not a career".Chen Panpan, 23, a junior at Shandong Agricultural University, practiced for about eight months before entering the real stock market in March. "I wanted to have some personal experiences before actually making an investment," he said. Although wisdespread reports said people bragged about making a big fortune in certain stocks, he felt he needed to learn first."I was pretty occupied at the beginning," Chen said. "The market opens at 9:30 am, and I started to stare at the screen at 9, paying attention to every detail of the fluctuation. Then I sold out the stock in two to three days and changed to another one." "My emotions swung with the share fluctuations," he added. "In March, I bought in a share of a company that plunged on the following day and it cost me 2,000 yuan. I was very upset. But on the third day, it bottomed out. I was very moody then." He said he is much more able to control his emotions now. "Maybe I am getting used to the ups and downs now. The stock market is not in my control.It will not rise because I care or I am devoted, worried and upset," he said. Now, Chen sells and buys every two to three months and looks at the market index for about 20 minutes a day. He also pays attention to financial policies.Write your response on ANSWER SHEET FOUR.【参考范文】Whether College Students Should Engage in Stock Market As China’s stock market began to regain its poise recently,, an increasing number of college students became new investors in stock market. This phenomenon has triggered a heated discussion. Opinions about this investment behavior are divided. Supporters hold that taking stock may have some beneficial effects on students. Some students can accumulate some related experience before actually making an investment. While the opponents argue that college students' priority is to improve themselves instead of making money. As far as I’m concerned, most students are not mature enough to make a difference in the fluctuating stock market. So it is not advisable for them to deal in stocks.There is no denying that students can get some experience from investment and get their perseverance strengthened in failures.
