2014考研英语全真模拟押题及答案解析(二)【2】Is the literary critic like the poet, responding creatively, intuitively, subjectively to the written word as the poet responds to human experience? Or is the critic more like a scientist, following a series of demonstrable, verifiable steps, using an objective method of analysis?For the woman who is a practitioner of feminist literary criticism, the subjectivity versus objectivity, or critic-as-artist-or-scientist, debate has special significance; for her, the question is not only academic, but political as well, and her definition will provoke special risks whichever side of the issue it favors. If she defines feminist criticism as objective and scientific—a valid, verifiable, intellectual method that anyone, whether man or woman, can perform—the definition not only makes the critic-as-artist approach impossible, but may also hinder accomplishment of the utilitarian political objectives of those who seek to change the academic establishment and its thinking, especially about sex roles. If she defines feminist criticism as creative and intuitive, privileged as art, then her work becomes vulnerable to the prejudices of stereotypic ideas about the ways in which women think, and will be dismissed by much of the academic establishment. Because of these prejudices, women who use an intuitive approach in their criticism may find themselves charged with inability to be analytical, to be objective, or to think critically. Whereas men may be free to claim the role of critic-as-artist, women run different professional risks when they choose intuition and private experience as critical method and defense.These questions are political in the sense that the debateover them will inevitably be less an exploration of abstract matters in a spirit of disinterested inquiry than an academic power struggle, in which the careers and professional fortunes of many women scholars only now entering the academic profession in substantial numbers will be at stake, and with them the chances for a distinctive contribution to humanistic understanding, a contribution that might be an important influence against sexism in our society.As long as the academic establishment continues to regard objec tive analysis as “masculine” and an intuitive approach as “feminine,” the theoretician must steer a delicate philosophical course between the two. If she wishes to construct a theory of feminist criticism, she would be well advised to place it within the framework of a general theory of the critical process that is neither purely objective nor purely intuitive. Her theory is then more likely to be compared and contrasted with other theories of criticism with some degree of dispassionate distance. (418 words)31. Which of the following titles best summarizes the content of the text?[A] How Theories of Literary Criticism Can Best Be Used[B] Problems Confronting Women Who Are Feminist Literary Critics[C] A Historical Overview of Feminist Literary Criticism[D] Literary Criticism: Art or Science?32.

It can be inferred that the author would define as “political”(Line 1, Para. 3) the questions that[A] cannot be resolved without extensive debate.[B] are primarily academic in nature and open to abstract analysis.[C] are contested largely through contention over power.[D] will be debated by both men and women.35. Which of the following is most likely to be one of the “utilitarian political objectives” mentioned by the author?[A] To forge a new theory of literary criticism.[B] To pursue truth in a disinterested manner.[C] To demonstrate that women are interested in literarycriticism that can be viewed either subjectively or objectively.[D] T o convince the academic establishment to revise the ways in which it assesses women scholars professional qualities.Text4Recent years have brought minority-owned businesses in the United States unprecedented opportunities—as well as new and significant risks. Civil right activists have long argued that one of the principal reasons why Blacks, Hispanics and other minority groups have difficulty establishing themselves in business is that they lack of access to the sizable orders and subcontracts that are generated by large companies. Now Congress, in apparent agreement, has required by law that businesses awarded federal contracts of more than $500, 000 do their best to find minority subcontractors and record their efforts to do so on forms filed with the government. Indeed, some federal and local agencies have gone so far as to set specific percentage goals for apportioning parts of public works contracts to minority enterprises.Corporate response appears to have been substantial. According to figures collected in 1977, the total of corporate contracts with minority businesses rose from $77 million in 1972 to 1.1 billion in 1977. The projected total of corporate contracts with minority businesses for the early 1980's is estimated to be over $3 billion per year with no letup anticipated in the next decade.Promising as it is for minority businesses, this increased patronage poses dangers for them, too. First, minority firms risk expanding too fast and overextending themselves financially, since most are small concerns and, unlike large businesses, they often need to make substantial investment in new plants, staff,equipment and the like in order to perform work subcontracted to them. If, thereafter, their subcontracts are for some reason reduced, such firms can face potentially crippling fixed expenses. The world of corporate purchasing can be frustrating for small entrepreneurs who get requests for elaborate formal estimates and bids. Both consume valuable time and resources, and a small company's efforts must soon result in orders, or both the morale and the financial health of the business will suffer.A second risk is that White-owned companies may seek to cash in on the increasing apportionment through formation of joint ventures with minority-owned concerns. Of course, in many instances there are legitimate reasons for joint ventures; clearly, White and minority enterprises can team up to acquire business that neither could acquire alone. But civil right groups and minority business owners have complained to Congress about minorities being set up as “fronts” with White backing, rather than being accepted as full partners in legitimate joint ventures.Third, a minority enterprise that secures the business of one large corporate customer often runs the danger of becoming and remaining dependent. Even in the best of circumstances, fierce competition from larger, more established companies makes it difficult for small concerns to broaden their customer bases; when such firms have nearly guaranteed orders from a single corporate benefactor, they may truly have to struggle against complacency arising from their current success.

2014考研英语全真模拟押题及答案解析(二)【3】The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order. For Questions 41—45, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A—G to fill in each numbered box. The first and the last paragraphs have been placed for you in Boxes. Mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)[A] By contrast, somewhat more than 25 percent of the earth's population can be found in the industrialized societies. They lead modern lives. They are products of the first half of the twentieth century, molded by mechanization and mass education, brought up with lingering memories of their own country's agricultural past. They are, in effect, the people of the present.[B] The remaining 2 or 3 percent of the world's population, however, are no longer people of either the past or the present. For within the main centers of technological and cultural change, in Santa Monica, California and Cambridge, Massachusetts, in New York and London, and T okyo, are millions of men and women who can already be said to be living the way of life of the future. Trend-makers often without being aware of it, live today as millions will live tomorrow. And while they account for only a few percent of the global population today, they are already from an international nation of the future in our midst. They are the advanced agents of man, the earliest citizens of the worldwide super-industrial society now in the throes of birth.[C] It is, in fact, not too much to say that the pace of life draws a line through humanity, dividing us into camps, triggering bitter misunderstanding between parent and child, between Madison Avenue and Main Street, between men and women, betweenAmerican and European, between East and West.[D] What makes them different from the rest of mankind? Certainly, they are richer, better educated, more mobile than the majority of the human race. They also live longer. But what specifically marks the people of the future is the fact that they are already caught up in a new, stepped-up pace of life. They “live faster” than the people around them.[E] The inhabitants of the earth are divided not only by race, nation, religion or ideology, but also, in a sense, by their position in time. Examining the present population of the globe, we find a tiny group who still live, hunting and food-foraging, as men did millennia ago. Others, the vast majority of mankind, depend not on bear-hunting or berry-picking, but on agriculture. They live, in many respects, as their ancestors did centuries ago. These two groups taken together compose perhaps 70 percent of all living human beings. They are the people of the past.[F] Some people are deeply attracted to this highly accelerated pace of life—going far out of their way to bring it about and feeling anxious, tense or uncomfortable when the pace slows. They want desperately to be “where the action is.” James A. Wilson has found, for example, that the attraction for a fast pace of life is one of the hidden motivating forces behind the much publicized “brain-drain”—the mass migration of European scientists and engineers who migrated to the U.S. and Canada. He concluded that it was no higher salaries or better research facilities alone, but also the quicker tempo that lure them. The migrants, he writes, “are not put off by what they indicated as the ‘faster pace' of North America; if anything, they appear to prefer this pace to others.”[G] The pace of life is frequently commented on by ordinarypeople. Yet, oddly enough, it has received almost no attention from either psychologists or sociologists. This is a gaping inadequacy in the behavioral sciences, for the pace of life profoundly influences behavior, evoking strong and contrasting reactions from different people.

22. [答案] [C]ideas about the roles of women have been changing.[注释] 推理判断题。
本题问:从第一段可以推理,为什么现在妇女可以从事一种职业?第1段最后两句写道:“不能认为我们的本性在社会的或生理的方面来看是不可改变的。
随着我们接近21世纪初,生物学和遗传学方面所取得的巨大进步正在从根本上对属于每一种性别的角色、职责和特征提出挑战,可是在不到20年以前,上述观点还被认为是‘无可争辩的。

[A]the change in sex roles is out of the question(性别角色的改变是不可能的)具有较强的干扰性。
out of the question意为“不可能的”。
有的考生之所以选[A]是因为把out of the question错误地理解为“毫无疑问的”。
[D]the expansion of sciences scarcely remolds the women‘s roles(科学的发展几乎没有改变妇女的角色)属正反颠倒,故不能入选。
注意:通过词汇手段增强干扰是当前命题的一种趋势。
23. [答案] [B]prevalent.[注释] 细节归纳题。
本题问:作者认为,20世纪60年代以前西方的性别歧视状况如何?第2段一开头作者写道:“我们可以有把握地说,除了个别例外,从19世纪初到20世纪60年代,对男女性别的定义和他们各自的作用一直没有变化。
”接着,作者对此进行了阐述,最后说,“妇女在家生儿育女。
男子外出谋生养家,恪守职责,和平时期,以付家需,战争时期,奔赴疆场。
”综上所述,男女并不平等。
可见,20世纪60年代以前西方的性别歧视普遍存在。
故应选[B]prevalent(普遍存在的;盛行的;流行的)。

The proportion of state-owned houses decreased sharply by almost 50% from 70% in 1950’ to 20% in 1990’. On the contrary, during the same period, the percentage of private houses increased rapidly from 30% to 80%.The bar chart reveals that there exists an opposite trend in the development of state-owned and private houses ownership. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Reasons can be listed as follows: for one thing, the authorities have issued some preferential policies to the development of private houses industry. Additionally, with the improvement of financial status and purchasing power, citizens in mounting numbers can afford to buy private houses which were deemed expensive. Last but not least, people’s decision to buy ahouse can also be ascribed to the power of so-called “group dynamics”: when members of our social networks own their private house one after another, we unconsciously imitate them , of course, if we have enough money.The continual growth of private houses is a symbol of the improvement of people’s living standard. However, the authorities should also place a value on the restriction of houses’ price. Otherw ise, it will one day be a obstacle of the rapid and sound development of economy.From the curve chart given above, we can observe that the number meals of fast food and sitdown restaurant experienced some changes during the past several years. The number of meals of fast food increased slowly from 20 in 1970 to nearly 30 in 1980. From 1980 to 2000, it ascended rapidly from 30 to approximately 90. On the contrary, when observing the statistics of sitdown restaurant meals, we can find that it increased slowly from 20 in 1970 to roughly 50 in 2000.The curve chart informs of the phenomenon that there exists some difference in the development of fast food and sitdown restaurants. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Reasons can be listed as follows: for one thing, with the pace of modern life quickening, people barely have much time to waste in lining up forrestaurant meals, on the contrary, fast food meals can do help busy people save a great deal of time. Additionally, the authorities have issued some preferential policies to protect and encourage the rapid extension of fast food industry , thus the public can buy fast food at shops scattering around the city. On the contrary , people in diminishing numbers are willing to eat at sitdown restaurant. They think that eating at restaurant is always time-consuming and inconvenient. Besides, food at restaurant is comparatively expensive than fast food.by observing the trend of the past, we may forecast that the number of fast food meals will continue to rise in the years to come. However, we should also take the detrimental impact of fast food into consideration. Do remember that fast food is one of the main causing factors of diseases such as heart attack, obesity and diabetes.From the pie chart given above, we can observe that it reflects the statistics of investment in Beijing from different countries and regions. The proportion of investment from Hong Kong accounts for 44%, ranking first. The percentage of investment from other 23 countries and regions ranks second among all, making up 20.8 %. Japan occupies 19.2%, ranking third. Whenit comes to the U.S.A., we can find that it takes up 16% , 28% lower than that of Hong Kong.The pie chart reveals the phenomenon that most of the investment in Beijing stem from Hong Kong. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Reasons can be listed as follows: in the first place, China's investment policy provide preferential treatment to investors from Hong Kong. They are more likely to be immune to high taxes and other charges. Moreover, quite a few Hong Kong investors hold the opinion that, with the same language, cultures, traditions and customs, mainland is an ideal and promising investment resort which will be bound to generate considerable profits. Last but not least, it will not take a long time to commute between Hong Kong and Chinese mainland, the region advantage also has attracted more Hong Kong investors to locate their companies and factories in the mainland.The public can benefit a lot from Hong Kong investment. People can buy products with superiorquality at a comparatively cheaper price. However, balancing the investment proportion from different countries is also a issue needed to be put at the top of relevant admi nistration departments’ agenda. Thus, people can be exposed to a greater variety of products and have more purchasing options.1. 投诉信Dear Sir or Madam,I’m writing to lodge the complaint about the poor quality of ..... that I purchased from Sun Appliance Company.Frankly speaking, Sun Appliance has always been my favorite.......

I wonder if you could be free to have a pleasant talk with me, for all the requirements specified in your advertisement tend to fit my present situation. For one thing, as September closes in, I am going to graduate from college with a Bachelor Degree. For another thing, after four-year study at college, I received extensive training in Accounting, Analytical thinking and Business planning. All of them are considered definite weight for a qualified bank clerk. Still, Speaking Japanese f luently, I don’t think I have any problem while working with other colleagues. Under these circumstances, I firmly believe that I can contribute to prosperity of your company because I am a self-motivated person. On the other hand, a foreign bank with an international background will enrich my working experience and broaden my mind, thus paving a way for my prospective career.I would appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Look forward to your reply.Sincerely Yours。

The man who has dug several wells finds no water in the end while the man who keeps digging in one place reaches the water eventually. As is symbolically revealed, perseverance is one of the most important qualities of human beings. Therefore, we may draw a conclusion that perseverance leads to final success.That final success lies in perseverance can be best explained by the invention of electric bulb. Mr. Edison failed more than 1000 times before he found tungsten filament for his incandescent lamp test. Obviously, it was perseverance that made Edison stick it out. Therefore, it is a truth beyond dispute that once we have set up a goal, we should keep trying until we achieve it.To sum up the above argument, I have several suggestions to make. On the one hand, we should be well aware of the importance of perseverance. On the other hand, it is necessary for us to foster the spirit of perseverance consciously. All in all, we should always keep in mind that where there is a will, there is a way.。
2014考研英语全真模拟押题及答案解析(一)【4】We need to make, therefore, a hard-and-fast distinction not only between work and play but, equally, between active play and passive entertainment. 47) It is, I suppose, the decline of active play — of amateur sport — and the enormous growth of purely receptive entertainment which have given rise to a sociological interest in the problem. If the greater part of the population, instead of indulging in sport, spend their hours of leisure “viewing” television programs, there will inevitably be a decline in health and physique. In addition, we have yet to trace the mental and moral consequences of prolonged diet of sentimental or sensational spectacles on the screen. 48) There is, if we are optimistic, the possibility that the diet is too thin and unnourishing to have much permanent effect on anybody. Nine films out of ten seem to leave absolutely no impression on the mind or imagination of those who have seen them.49) It is only when entertainment is active, participated in, practiced, that it can properly be called play, and as such it is a natural use of leisure. In that sense play stands in contrast to work, and is usually regarded as an activity that alternates with work.Work itself is not a single concept. We say quite generally that we work in order to make a living. Some of us work physically, tilling the land, minding the machines, digging the coal; others work mentally, keeping accounts, inventing machines, teaching and preaching, managing and governing. 50) There does not seem to be any factor common to all these diverse occupations, except that they consume our time, and leave us little leisure.(356 words)Section ⅢWritingPart A51.

2014考研英语写作押题宝典人生素养及积极话题Topic 1:Innovative consciousness 创新意识的意义(重要性)The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of the innovative consciousness. Definitely, noone can deny its importance. An innovative spirit can promote the advancement of both individuals and society as a whole. Only those who are keeping on creating new things can make continuous progress and maintain competitive edge. To further illustrate the importance of innovation, I would like to take Steve Jobs as a case in point: how could he, a genius who change the way of modern communication, recreation and even our life, invent so many powerful electronic products without a creative spirit?From my perspective, at no time should we overlook the power of the consciousness of innovation. Furthermore, we need to develop a habit of discovering new things,using new methods and applying new thoughts in our work, study or simply everyday life. “Innovation is the spirit of human being‟s progress.” A philosopher once said.Topic 2:persistence/ perseverance 坚持的意义(重要性)The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of persistence. Definitely, no one can deny its importance. Persistence can help us carve out a way to success. Although the way to success is bumpy and filled with inevitable setbacks, it is persistence that lead us to the destination we are eager to reach. (举例)To furtherdemonstrate the importance of being persistent, I would like to take Thomas Edison as a case in point: how could he, one of the greatest inventor throughout the history of mankind who experienced numerous unsuccessful attempts, invent the first electric lamp without persistence?Accordingly, at no time should we overlook the importance of persistence. When coming across hardships and setbacks, we need to grit our teeth and adhere to the faith that our efforts and persistence will be paid off. “Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance.” Samuel Johnson once said.Topic 3:Dreams/ objectives 梦想和目标的意义(重要性)The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of our dreams/objectives. Definitely, no one candeny its importance. Our dreams/goals/ideals/objectives will prevent us from quitting easily especially when we are in great trouble. They will lead us to the destination we are eager to reach, bring out the best in us andstimulate us to remain firm in our faith. (举例)To further illustrate the importance of dreams/objectives, I wouldlike to take Helen Keller as a case in point: how could she, a disabled woman who was born blind and deaf, finally be a world-renowned writer who wrote If I Had Three Days to See without her dreams to overcome physical limitations.Accordingly, at no time should we underestimate the power of dreams/objectives. Furthermore, we must set up proper goals before we start to do anything and stick to it whatever difficulties we meet. “One of the most dangerous forms of human error is forgetting what one is trying to achieve.” Paul Nitze once said.Topic 4:cooperation 合作的意义(重要性)The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of cooperation. Definitely, no one can deny itsimportance. Cooperation can help people achieve our objectives more smoothly. If everyone in a group can cooperate with each oth er actively and play each other‟s strength sufficiently, those once-deemed-unachievabletasks for one single person can be successfully accomplished through shared efforts. (举例)Quite a few examplescan be given to prove the importance of cooperation, and I can think of no better illustration than the following one: after the financial crisis swept the whole world in 2008, how could the world economy recover/restore/revive/revitalize at such a rapid speed without cooperation among countries all around the world.We should always bear in mind that in such a competitive world of today, no individuals or organizations can achieve success without cooperation. Furthermore, when coming across setbacks or challenges, we should not dismiss ourselves as a powerless individual, instead, we should discover advantageous resources initiatively, collaborate effectively with people around us, and thus overcome all the things that lie in the way to success.“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is a process. Working together is a success.” Henry Ford once said.Topic 5:diligence 勤奋的意义(重要性)The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of diligence. Definitely, no one can deny itsimportance. Diligence enables us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize our dreams more rapidly. The more diligent we are , the more likely we are to accumulate experience, master skills, discover and kill off ourshortcomings and create more opportunities. (举例)further illustrate the importance of being diligent, I would liketo take Michael Jordan as a case in point: how could he, one of the greatest basketball players throughout the history of mankind who was once deemed unsuitable for playing this game, achieve unprecedented success in NBA?Accordingly, at no time should we underestimate the power of diligence. Furthermore, when coming with setbacks and bottlenecks, instead of giving up easily, what we must do is to stick to our goals and faith, tell ourselves that all efforts and diligence will be paid off. “good luck appears only when you are diligent enough.” Barack Obama also once said.Topic 6:making plans 制定计划的意义(重要性)The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of making plans. Definitely, no one can deny itsimportance. Making plan will enable us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize their dreams more rapidly. The more detailed plan we make the more likely we are to make full use of time, enhance our workefficiency make full preparation in advance for unexpected cases. (举例)To further demonstrate the importance ofmaking plans, I would like to take CEO as a case in point, how could a CEO, the head and decision-maker of a corporation, deal with all sorts of complicated things smoothly if he fails to draw up a detailed plan for routine work?Accordingly, on no account should we overlook the power of plans. Furthermore, we should draw up detailed plans before we start to do anything and do things as planned. “He who fails to plan, plans to fail.” A f amous philosopher also once said.Topic 7:actions 行动的重要性(重要性)The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of taking actions. Definitely, no one can deny its importance. Actions will enable us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize their dreams more rapidly. The more action we take, the more likely we are to accumulate experience, master skills and get close to our destination. (举例)To further demonstrate the importance of A, I would like to take a famous Chinese fable story as a case in point:How could the “foolish old man” who dreamed of removing the mountain in front of his gate finally achieved his dream without taking constant actions ?Accordingly, on no account should we underestimate the power of taking actions. Furthermore, not only should us posses a great dream, but we also should take actions to make it come true. “Actions speak louder than words.” A philosopher also once said.Topic 8: adversity逆境的意义(重要性)The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of adversity. Definitely,No one can deny theimportance of adversity. Adversity is conducive to people‟s growth and maturity. By facing adversity with confidence and a brave heart, people are more likely to recognize themselves profoundly, bring their potential intofull play and accumulate more experiences. (举例)To further illustrate the significance of adversity, I would liketo take an empirical evidence as a case in point: surveys conducted by some biographers have demonstrated that almost all of the great men and celebrities have built their mansion of success on the bedrock of adversity.From my perspective, at no time should we underestimate the power of adversity. Furthermore, when coming across adversity, we should not regard it as a obstacle to success; instead, we might as well envision it as a precious chance to improve ourselves, fight against it courageously and acquire wisdom from it. “Adversity breeds success.” An ancient Greek philosopher also once said.Topic 9: Unity/solidarity团结的意义(重要性)The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of unity. Definitely,No one can deny theimportance of unity. Unity/solidarity enables people to achieve their objectives more smoothly and rapidly. By uniting, people are more likely to reduc e unnecessary conflicts and frictions, take full advantage of each other‟sstrength and thus eventually defeat those seemingly invincible hardships and challenges. (举例)To furtherdemonstrate the importance of unity, I would like to take the Chinese Communist Party as a case in point: how could she achieve the victory of the Anti-Japanese War if she failed to unite Chinese people of all ethnic groups ?From my perspective, at no time should we underestimate the power of unity. What‟s more, we should foster the consciousness of unity and always bear in mind that it is unity, instead of individual‟s capability, that the achievement of any course depends on. “United we stand, divided we fall.” The U.S. president John Adams also once said.Topic 10: Helping each other 互助的意义(重要性)The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of helping each other. Definitely, no one candeny its importance. Helping each other is conducive to the harmony of society. On the one hand, those who obtain helps from others can get out of trouble more smoothly and thus sense the warmth of society. On the other hand, those who offer a helping hand are more likely to improve their sense of gratification and achievement byfulfilling their personal value. (举例)To further demonstrate the importance of mutual help, I would take WenChuan as a case in point : how could it , after being severely damaged by the earthquake in 2008, rebuild its homeland at such a high speed without the help from people at home and abroad ?At no time should we underestimate the power of a helping hand. Accordingly,under no circumstances should we decline to help others when they are in need. Besides,we should be grateful for those who provide us with help when we are in trouble. Only in this way can we lead a fulfilling and meaningful life.Topic 11: mutual trust 互相信任的意义(重要性)The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of mutual-trust. Definitely, no one can deny itsimportance. Mutual trust is conducive to the harmony of society. With trust among each other, people of diverse disposition, experience, thinking mode and backgrounds can have a better understanding and communication, andthus reduce unnecessary conflicts and frictions.(举例)To further illustrate the significance of mutual trust, Iwould like to take an empirical evidence as a case in point: surveys conducted by certain career-related websites have shown that roughly 98% of white-collar workers are more inclined to work with colleagues they trust. (almost 98% of white-collar workers regard mutual trust as lubricant of effective collaboration. ) From my perspective, at no time should we underestimate the power of mutual trust. Furthermore, we should trust people as much as possible and try our utmost to influence those who do not trust people easily, inform them of the significance of it. Only in this way can live in a more harmonious world.Topic 12: communication 沟通的意义(重要性)The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of communication. Definitely, no one can denyits importance. Communication will enable us to achieve our objectives more rapidly. By communicating frequently and smoothly, we can have a better understanding among each others, reduce unnecessary conflicts andfrictions and thus eventually improve the efficiency of cooperation. (举例)To further illustrate the importance ofcommunication, I would like to take the Apple Incorporation as a case in point: how could it, with so many departments, staffs from diverse countries and backgrounds inside, and branch offices allocated all around the world, finally operate smoothly and achieve unprecedented market profits without an efficient communication.From my perspective, at no time should we underestimate the power of communication. when misunderstanding others, we should communicate with them initiatively and detect the truth underlying bias. Communication is the lubricant of success/happiness.” Henry Ford, a world-renowned entrepreneur also once said.负面话题1.产品质量低下问题 inferior/poor quality of products问题产生的原因In the first place,Quite a few businessmen put the economic interests in the first place while overlook the importance of quality and safety.(Additionally,In order to reduce costs,they tend to use inferior materials,simplify the production process and shorten the manufacturing time.)Last but not least,the absence of strict supervision and severe punishment on those who produce low quality products has also reinforced the trend.问题的解决措施Firstly,relevant administration departments should spare no efforts to strengthen supervision on the manufacturing process.Secondly,relevant laws and regulations should be made and implemented to impose a heavy penalty on those who manufacture fake and inferior products.Only in this way can we guarantee the quality of products and the interests of consumers/ people‟s safety.2.信任缺失问题 The gradual loss of trust between people问题产生的原因For one things,A host of dishonest behaviors in the society have caused distrust between people.additionally, the absence of deep communication is also responsible for the gradual loss of trust between people. In such a competitive world of today, enormous pressure and the fast -paced way of life has also deprived people of their chance of in-depth communication.问题的解决措施Firstly, A large-scale education campaign should be launched to inform the public of the importance of trust between each other.Secondly, we ourselves should spend more time communicating with people around us.

(52words)问题的解决措施Firstly, the authorities should make and implement relevant laws and regulations to impose heavy penalty on those who spread rumors through the Internet.Secondly, relevant departments should strengthen the supervision of the network information and stop the circulation of rumors.Last but not least, as for the Netizen themselves,neither should they believe the rumors easily,nor disseminate rumors deliberately.

As populations increase, the demand for water grows accordingly.secondly, people everywhere waste water without even realizing it:showers last too long, taps are left running and so forth.Last but not least,the industrial production will cause water contamination and it will also decrease the existing water resources further more.For one thing, it is essential that laws and regulations be worked out and enforced impose a heavy penalty on those who waste or contaminate waster deliberately .Secondly, a large-scale education campaign should be launched to inform the public of the significance of economizing on water.With these measures taken, it is reasonable for us to believe that this problem can be perfectly solved in the near future .6. 社会公德问题 the loss of public morality问题产生的原因From the macro point of view, quite a few people tend to concentrate more time and energy on the pursuit of economic benefits and satisfaction of materials while overlook the significance of social morality.From the micro point of view, some worry that their morality, which can be best expressed through kindness and warm-hearted behaviors, may invite unnecessary trouble.问题的解决措施In the first place, a large-scale education campaign should be launched to inform the public of the significance of social moralityIn the second place, relevant laws and regulations should be made and implemented to protect the benefits of those who provide help.Only in this way can we be sure that, on the one hand, those who are in need can receive timely aid and, on the other hand, warm-hearted people never suffer from loss.7.传统文化流失traditional culture missing问题产生的原因To start with,quite a few people hold that Chinese traditional culture is of little use in modern society and it has failed to me et the needs of society‟s development.What…s more ,Chinese traditional culture is facing an unprecedented challenge.

The proportion of state-owned houses decreased sharply by almost 50% from 70% in 1950‟ to 20% in 1990‟. On the contrary, during t he same period, the percentage of private houses increased rapidly from 30% to 80%.The bar chart reveals that there exists an opposite trend in the development of state-owned and private houses ownership. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Reasons can be listed as follows: for one thing, the authorities have issued some preferential policies to the development of private houses industry. Additionally, with the improvement of financial status and purchasing power, citizens in mounting numbers can afford to buy private houses which were deemed expensive. Last but not least, people‟s decision to buy a house can also be ascribed to the power of so-called “group dynamics”: when members of our social networks own their private house one after another, we unconsciously imitate them , of course, if we have enough money.The continual growth of private houses is a symbol of the improvement of people‟s living standard. However, the authorities should also place a value on the restriction of houses‟ price. Ot herwise, it will one day be a obstacle of the rapid and sound development of economy.From the curve chart given above, we can observe that the number meals of fast food and sitdown restaurant experienced some changes during the past several years. The number of meals of fast food increased slowly from 20 in 1970 to nearly 30 in 1980. From 1980 to 2000, it ascended rapidly from 30 to approximately 90. On the contrary, when observing the statistics of sitdown restaurant meals, we can find that it increased slowly from 20 in 1970 to roughly 50 in 2000.The curve chart informs of the phenomenon that there exists some difference in the development of fast food and sitdown restaurants. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Reasons can be listed as follows: for one thing, with the pace of modern life quickening, people barely have much time to waste in lining up for restaurant meals, on the contrary, fast food meals can do help busy people save a great deal of time. Additionally, the authorities have issued some preferential policies to protect and encourage the rapid extension of fast food industry , thus the public can buy fast food at shops scattering around the city. On the contrary , people in diminishing numbers are willing to eat at sitdown restaurant. They think that eating at restaurant is always time-consuming and inconvenient. Besides, food at restaurant is comparatively expensive than fast food.by observing the trend of the past, we may forecast that the number of fast food meals will continue to rise in the years to come. However, we should also take the detrimental impact of fast food into consideration. Do remember that fast food is one of the main causing factors of diseases such as heart attack, obesity and diabetes.From the pie chart given above, we can observe that it reflects the statistics of investment in Beijing from different countries and regions. The proportion of investment from Hong Kong accounts for 44%, ranking first. The percentage of investment from other 23 countries and regions ranks second among all, making up 20.8 %. Japan occupies 19.2%, ranking third. When it comes to the U.S.A., we can find that it takes up 16% , 28% lowerthan that of Hong Kong.The pie chart reveals the phenomenon that most of the investment in Beijing stem from Hong Kong. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Reasons can be listed as follows: in the first place, China's investment policy provide preferential treatment to investors from Hong Kong. They are more likely to be immune to high taxes and other charges. Moreover, quite a few Hong Kong investors hold the opinion that, with the same language, cultures, traditions and customs, mainland is an ideal and promising investment resort which will be bound to generate considerable profits. Last but not least, it will not take a long time to commute between Hong Kong and Chinese mainland, the region advantage also has attracted more Hong Kong investors to locate their companies and factories in the mainland.The public can benefit a lot from Hong Kong investment. People can buy products with superior quality at a comparatively cheaper price. However, balancing the investment proportion from different countries is also a issue needed to be put at the top of relevant administration departments‟ agenda. Thus, people can be exposed to a greater variety of products and have more purchasing options.1. 投诉信Dear Sir or Madam,I‟m writing to lodge the complaint about the poor quality of ..... that I purchased from Sun Appliance Company.Frankly speaking, Sun Appliance has always been my favorite.......

During my stay at hospital, nurses on duty patiently took my temperature, regularly examined my body, and often fed meals to me. In addition, doctors prescribed me the most effective drugs and gave the best medical advice. Thanks to the constant care from the hospital staff, I recovered quickly. Now that I havereturned home, the excellent service of your hospital still impresses me. I believe that as patient, I have received the most professional treatment and the most considerate care.Please allow me to convey my sincere greetings toward the doctors and nurses that contribute all their efforts, patience and energy to their patients.

I wonder if you could be free to have a pleasant talk with me, for all the requirements specified in your advertisement tend to fit my present situation. For one thing, as September closes in, I am going to graduate from college with a Bachelor Degree. For another thing, after four-year study at college, I received extensive training in Accounting, Analytical thinking and Business planning. All of them are considered definite weight for a qualified bank clerk. Still, Speaking Japane se fluently, I don‟t think I have any problem while working with other colleagues. Under these circumstances, I firmly believe that I can contribute to prosperity of your company because I am a self-motivated person. On the other hand, a foreign bank with an international background will enrich my working experience and broaden my mind, thus paving a way for my prospective career.I would appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, please don‟t hesitate to contact me. Look forward to your reply.Sincerely Yours。
