Writea composition of about 150-200 words on the following topic:）第1题People hold different attitudes towards fashion. Young people prefer to follow the fashion closely while old people turn a cold shoulder to it. What’s your opinion? Write on ANSWER SHEET THREE a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:Should We Be Close Followers of FashionYou are to write in three parts:In the first part, state specifically what your view is.In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion.

We are supposed to keep a distance with the fashion trends. To begin with, the fashion trends are so volatile that we can hardly keep trackof them. Fashion trends tend to go in 20-year cycles. Styles favored in the 1980s are likely to re-emerge again two decades later, with a new twist. The fashionable clothes you bought last month may becomeout-of-date now. When you are finally resolved to buy the skirts many of your peers raved about several weeks ago, the vogue for the skirts may begin to drop off. As you throw yourself into the fashion, you inevitably waste considerably amount of money and time.In addition, our individual identity can become spoiled by homogenized clothes, shoulder bags and accessories.

leadership traits such as intelligence and capacity for innovation, with many saying theyre stronger than men in terms of being passionate and organized leaders、So why, then, are women in short supply at the top of government and business in the United States? According to the public, at least, its not that they lack toughness, management talent or proper skill sets、Its also not all about work-life balance、Although economic research and previous survey findings have shown that career interruptions related to motherhood may make it harder for women to advance in their careers and pete for top executive jobs, relatively few adults in the recent survey point to this as a keybarrier for women seeking leadership roles、 Only about one-in-five say womens family responsibilities are a major reason why there aren’t more females in top leadership positions in business and politics、Instead, topping the list of reasons, about four-in-ten Americans point to a double standard for women seeking to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business, where they have to do more than their male counterparts to prove themselves、 Similar shares say the electorate(选民)and corporate America are just not ready to put more women in top leadership positions、As a result, the public is divided about whether the imbalance in corporate America will change in the foreseeable future, even though women have made major advances in the workplace、 While53% believe men will continue to hold more top executive positions in business in thefuture,44% say its only a matter of time before as many women are in top executive positions as men、 Americans are less doubtful when it es to politics:73% expect to see a female president in their lifetime、47、【题干】What do most Americans think of women leaders according to a new Pew Research Center survey?【选项】A、They have to do more to distinguish themselves、B、They have to strive harder to win their positions、C、They are stronger than men in terms of willpower、D、They are just as intelligent and innovative as men、48、【题干】What do we learn from previous survey findings about women seeking leadership roles?【选项】A、They have unconquerable difficulties on their way to success、B、They are lacking in confidence when peting with men、C、Their failures may have something to do with family duties、D、Relatively few are hindered in their career advancement、49、【题干】What is the primary factor keeping women from taking top leadership positions according to the recent survey?【选项】A、Personality traits、B、Family responsibilities、C、Gender bias、D、Lack of vacancies、50、【题干】What does the passage say about corporate America in the near future?【选项】A、More and more women will sit in the boardroom、B、Gender imbalance in leadership is likely to change、C、The public is undecided about whether women will make good leaders、D、People have opposing opinions as to whether it will have more women leaders、51、【题干】What do most Americans expect to see soon on Americas political stage?【选项】A、A woman in the highest position of government、B、More and more women actively engaged in politics、C、A majority of women voting for a female president、D、As many women in top government positions as men、Passage TwoQuestions52 to56 are based on the following passage、People have grown taller over the last century, with South Korean women shooting up by more than20cm on average, and Iranian men gaining、16、5cm、 A global study looked at the average height of18-year-olds in200 countries1914 and全文结束》》、The results reveal that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in1914, Dutch men have risen from12th place to claim top spot with an average height of182、5cm、 Larvian women、 Meanwhile, rose from28th place in1914 to bee the tallest in the world a century later, with an average height of169、8cm、James Bentham, a co-author of the research from Imperial College, London, says the global trend is likely to be due primarily to improvements in nutrition and healthcare、"An individual’s geics has a big influence on their height, but once you average over whole populations, geics plays a less key role," he added、A little extra height brings a number of advantages, says Elio Riboli of Imperial College、 "Being taller is associated with longer life expectancy," he said、 "This is largely due to a lower risk of dying of cardiova。

he left vermont by covered wagon in to homestead in kansas. perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, or perhaps he was lured by rumors of fortunes to be made in colorado mines. at any rate, a few years later he moved west to the small coloradomining camp known as california gulch, which he later renamed leadville when he became its leading citizen. “great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.” he said.as it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make leadville’s fortune and wealth. tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco.『it was his custom to “grubstake” prospective miners, i n other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or“grub”, while they looked for ore, in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered.』①he did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.finally one day in the year , so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for “grub”. tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. these were persistent, however, and tabor was too busy to argue with the “oh help yourself. one more time won’t make any difference,” he said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. the two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave tabor a one-third interest in their findings. they picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig. after nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. tabor boughtthe shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. this mine, known as the “pittsburgh mine,” made 1 for tabor in return for his $17 investment.later tabor bought the matchless mine on another

mayor, and later became lieutenant governor of the state.1. leadville got its name for the following reasons except______.a. because tabor became its leading citizenb. because great deposits of lead

Now, twitter, instant messaging, e-mail, blogs and chat forums offer rival approaches to communication - but none can replace the role of a great speech.The spoken word can handle various vital functions: persuading or inspiring, informing, paying tribute, entertaining, or simply introducing someone or somethingor accepting something. Over the past year, the human voice has helped guide usover the ups and downs of what was certainly a stormy time.Persuasion is used in dealing with or reconciling different points of view. Whenthe leaders met inCopenhagen in December 2021, persuasive words fromactivists encouraged them to commit themselves to firmer action. Inspirational speeches confront the emotions. They focus ontopics and matters that are close to people's hearts. During wars, generals used inspiring speeches to prepare the troops for battle.A speech that conveys knowledge and enhances understanding can inform us. The information must be clear, accurate, and expressed in a meaningful and interesting way.〔流行病〕 announced, the idea of “swine flu〞 many people. Informative speeches from World Health Organization officials helped people to keep their panicunder control so they could take sensible precautions.Sad events are never easy to deal with but a speech that pays tribute to the loss of a loved one and gives praise for their contribution can be comforting. Madonna's speech about Michael Jackson,after his death, highlighted the fact that he will continue to live on through his music.It's not only in world forums where public speaking plays an important role. It canalso be surprisingly helpful in the course of our own lives.If you?re taking part in a debate you need to persuade the listeners of the soundness of your argument. In sports, athletes know the importance of a pep talk〔鼓舞士气的讲话〕 before a match to inspire teammates. You yourself may be asked to do a presentation atcollege or work to inform the others about an area of vital importance.On a more personal level, a friend may be upset and need comforting. Or you might be asked to introduce a speaker at a family event or to speak at a wedding, where your language will be needed to move people or make them laugh.Great speaking ability is not something we're born with. Even Barack Obama works hard to perfect every speech. For a brilliant speech, there are rules that you can put to good use. To learn those rules you have to practice and learn from some outstanding speeches in the past.81.The author thinks the spoken word is still irreplaceable because ______.A. it has always been used to inspire or persuade people.B. it has a big role to play in the entertainment business.精品文档．精品文档C. it plays important roles in human communication.D. it is of great use in everyday-life context.82.Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about the role ofpublic speaking? _____A. Speeches at world forums can lead to effective solutions to world problems.B. Speeches from medical authorities can calm people down in times of pandemics.C. The morale of soldiers before a battle can be boosted by senior officers' speeches.D. Speeches paying tribute to the dead can comfort the mourners.83. Public speaking can play all the following roles EXCEPT______.A. to convince people in a debate.B. to inform people at a presentation.C. to advise people at work.D. to entertain people at a wedding.84. According to the passage, which of the following best explains the author's view on ______ “great speaking ability〞?A. It comes from observing rules.B. It can be perfected with easy effort.C. It can be acquired from birth.D. It comes from learning and practice.85.What is the main idea of the passage? ______.A. Public speaking in international forums.B. The many uses of public speaking.C. Public speaking in daily life context.D. The rules of public speaking.TEXT BEvery business needs two things, says Skullcandy CEO Rick Alden: inspiration and desperation. In 2001, Alden had both. He'd sold two snowboarding businesses, and hewas desperately bored. But he had an idea: He wanted to make a new kind of headphone. “ I kept seeing people missing their cell phone calls because they werelistening to music,〞 he explains. Then I'm in a chairlift, I've got my headphones on, and I realize my phone is ringing. As 1 take my gloves off and reach for my phone, I think, “ It can't be that tough to make headphones with two plugs, one for music and one for your cell phone.〞 Alden described what he wanted to a designer, perfected a prototype, and outsourced〔外包〕 manufacturing overseas.Alden then started designing headphones into helmets, backpacks-anywhere that would make it easy to listen to music while snowboarding. “Selling into board and skate shops wasn't abig research effort,〞 he explains. “Those were the only guys I knew!〞 Alden didn?t want to be a manufacturer. And by outsourcing, he'd hoped he could get the business off the ground without debt. But he was wrong. So he asked his wife,“ Can I put a〔抵押贷款〕 on the house? She said, ?What is the worst thing that can happen?We lose the house, we sell our cars, and we start all over again.? I definitely married the right woman!〞For the next two years, Alden juggled mortgage payments and payments to his manufacturers.“ Factories won't ship your product till they get paid,〞 hesays.“ But it takes four or five months to get a mortgage company so upset thatthey knock on your door. So we paid the factory first.〞Gradually, non-snowboarders began to notice the colorful headphones. In 2006,the companystarted selling them in 1,400 FYE (For Your Entertainment) stores.“We knew that nine out of 精品文档．精品文档ten people walking into that store would be learning about Skullcandy for the first time. Why would they look at brands they knew and take home a new brand instead? We had agreed tobuy back anything we didn't sell, but we were dealing with huge numbers. It'dkill us to take back all the productsAlden?s fears faded as Skullcandy became the No. 1 headphone seller in those stores and tripled its revenue to $120 million in one year. His key insight was that headphones weren't gadgets; they were a fashion accessory“.In the beginning,〞he says, “that little white wire that said you had an iPod--- that was cool. But now wearing the white bud means you're just like everyone else. Headphones occupythis critical piece of cranial real estate and are highly visible.〞Today, Skullcandy is America's second-largest headphone supplier, after Sony. With 79 employees, the company is bigger than Alden ever imagined.86.Alden came up with the idea of a new kind of headphone because he______.A. was no longer in snowboarding business.B. had no other business opportunities.C. was very fond of modern music.D. saw an inconvenience among mobile users.87. The new headphone was originally designed for ______.A. snowboarders.B. motorcyclists.C. mountain hikers.D. marathon runners.88.Did Alden solve the money problem? ______.A. He sold his house and his cars.B. Factories could ship products before being paid.C. He borrowed money from a mortgage company.D. He borrowed money from his wife's family.89.What did Alden do to promote sales in FYE stores? ______.A. He spent more money on product advertising.B. He promised to buy back products not sold.C. He agreed to sell products at a discount.D. He improved the colour design of the product.90. Alden sees headphones as ______.A. a sign of self-confidence.B. a symbol of status.C. part of fashion.D. a kind of device.TEXT CI was standing in my kitchen wondering what to have for lunch when my friend Taj called. “Sit down,〞she said. I thought she was going to tell me she had just gotten the haircut from hell. I laughed and said, “ It can't be that bad〞.But it was. Before the phone call, I had 30 years of retirement saving in a“safe〞fund with abrilliant financial guru 〔金融大亨〕 .When I put down the phone, my savings were gone. I felt as if I had died and, for someunknown reason, was still breathing.Since Bernie Madoff?s arrest on charges of running a $65 million Ponzi scheme, I've read many articles about how we investors should have known what was going on. I wish I could say I had reservations about Madoff before“the Call〞, but I did not. On New Year's Eve, three weeks after we lost our savings, six of us Madoff people gathered精品文档．精品文档at Taj's house for dinner. As we were sitting around the table, someoneasked,“ If you could have your money back right now, but it would mean givingup what you have learned by losing it, would you take the money or would youtake what losing the money has given you?〞My husband was still in financial shock. He said, “ I just want the money back〞.I wasn't certain where I stood. I knew that losing our money had cracked me wide open. I'd been walking around like what the Buddhists call a hungry ghost: always focused on the bite that was yet to come, not the one in my mouth. No matter how much I ate or had or experienced, it didn'tsatisfy me, because I wasn't really taking it in, wasn't absorbing it. Now Iwas forced to payattention. Still, I couldn't honestly say that if someone had offered me the money back, I would turn it down.But the other four all said that what they were seeing about themselves was incalculable, and they didn't think it would have become apparent without the ground of financial stability beingripped out from underneath them.My friend Michael said,I'd started to get complacent. It's as if the muscles of my heart started to atroph〔萎缩〕 . Now they?re awake, alive— and I don?t want to go back.〞 These weren'tjust empty words. Michael and his wife needed to take in boarders to meet their expenses. Taj was so broke that she was moving into someone's garageapartment in three weeks. Three friends had declared bankruptcy and weren't sure where or how they were going to live.91.What did the author learn from Taj?s call?A. had got an awful haircut.B. They had lost their retirement savings.C. Taj had just retired from work.D. They were going to meet for lunch.92. How did the author feel in the following weeks?A. Angry.B. Disappointed.C. Indifferent.D. Desperate.93. According to the passage, to which was she“forced to pay attention〞?A. Her friends.B. Her husband.C. Her lost savings.D. Her experience.94.Which of the following statements is CORRECT about her friends?A.Her friends valued their experience more.B.Her friends felt the same as she did.C.Her friends were in a better financial situation.D Her friends were more optimistic than she.95. What is the message of the passage?A. Desire for money is human nature.B. One has to be decisive during crises.C. Understanding gained is more important than money lost.D. It is natural to see varied responses to financial crises.TEXT DIn the 19th century, there used to be a model of how to be a good person. There are allthese torrents of passion flowing through you. Your job, as captain of your soul, is to erect dams to keep these passions in check. Your job is to just say no to laziness, lust, greed, drug use and th 精品文档．精品文档e other sins.These days that model is out of fashion. You usually can't change your behaviour by simplyresolving to do something. Knowing what to do is not the same as being able to do it. Your willpower is not like a dam that can block the torrent of self-indulgence. It'smore like amuscle, which tires easily. Moreover, you're a social being. If everybody aroundyou is overeating, you?ll probably do so, too.The 19th-century character model was based on an understanding of free will. Today, we know that free will is bounded. People can change their lives, but ordering change is not simplebecause many things, even within ourselves, are beyond our direct control.Much of our behaviour, for example, is guided by unconscious habits. Researchersat DukeUniversity calculated that more than 40 percent of the actions we take aregoverned by habit, not actual decisions. Researchers have also come tounderstand the structure of habits— cue, routine, reward.You can change your own personal habits. If you leave running shorts on the floorat night, that'll be a cue to go running in the morning. Don?t try to ignore your afternoon snackcraving. Every time you feel the cue for a snack, insert another routine. Take a walk. Their research thus implies a different character model, which is supposed to manipulate theneural〔神经系统的〕 networks inside.To be an effective person, under this model, you are supposed to coolly examineyour own unconscious habits, and the habits of those under your care. You are supposed to devise strategies to alter the cues and routines. Every relationship becomes slightly manipulative, including your relationship with yourself. You'retrying to arouse certain responses by implanting certain cues.This is a bit disturbing, because the important habitual neural networks are not formed by mere routine, nor can they be reversed by clever cues. They are burned in by emotion and strengthened by strong yearnings, like the yearnings for admiration and righteousness. If you think you can change your life in a clever way, the way an advertiser can get you to buy an air freshener, you're probably wrong. As the Victorians understood, if you want to change your life, don't just look for a clever cue. Commit to some larger global belief.96. Which of the following is a key element in the 19th-century character model?A. Passion.B. Action.C. Capability.D. Determination.97.The 19th-century model supposedly does not work because ______.A. there were many other factors beyond one's control.。

In your writing, you should1) describe the pie chart and the line graph;2) interpret their data;3) give your opinion.解答范例：The pie chart and the line graph illustrate the distribution of internet users' ages in China and the time spent on the internet per week respectively. As can be seen from the pie chart, the majority of internet users in China are aged between 18 to 30, accounting for 60% of the total, followed by the age group of 31 to 40, which makes up 30%. The rest, 10%, are people over 40. The line graph shows that people aged 18 to 30 spend the most time on the internet, around 25 hours per week, whereas the group aged 31 to 40 spend 15 hours per week on average. Surprisingly, internet users over 40 seem to spend even less time online, only about 10 hours per week. In my opinion, this data shows a clear generation gap in the use of the internet. Younger people, who are more tech-savvy, not only use the internet more frequently but also spend more time online. We should take this into consideration when designing online services to cater to different age groups.Task 2: Directions: Write a letter of about 100-120 words to a company, making suggestions for their services. You should include:1) the reason why you are writing;2) your suggestions.解答范例：Dear Customer Service Team, I am writing to express my concern regarding the recent experience I had with your company's services. I have been a loyal customer for several years, but I was disappointed with the poor quality of the products I received in my last order. I suggest that you improve the product quality control process to ensure all items meet the expected standards before shipping them out. Additionally, I recommend providing a more user-friendly online platform for customers to track their orders and contact customer service easily. I hope you will consider my suggestions and take action to enhance your services.
