The graph below shows the consumption of fish and some different kinds of meat in a European country between 1979 and 2004.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.The graph illustrates changes in the amounts of beef, lamb, chicken and fish consumed in a particular European country between 1979 and 2004.In 1979, beef was by far the most popular of these foods, with about 225 grams consumed per person per week. Lamb and chicken were eaten in similar quantities (around 150 grams), while much less fish was consumed (just over 50 grams). However, during this 25-year period the consumption of beef and lamb fell dramatically to approximately 100 grams and 55 grams respectively. The consumption of fish also declined, but much less significantly to just below 50 grams, so although it remained the least popular food, consumption levels were the most stable.The consumption of chicken, on the other hand, showed an upward trend, overtaking that of lamb in 1980 and that of beef in 1989. By2004 it had soared to almost 250 grams per person per week.Overall, the graph shows how the consumption of chicken increased dramatically while the popularity of these other foods decreased over the period. (173 words)The charts compare the sources of electricity in Australia and France in the years1980 and 2000. Between these years, electricity production almost rising from 100 units to 170 in Australia, and from 90 to 180 units in France.In 1980, Australia used coal the main the electricity source (50 units) and the remainder was produced from natural gas, hydro power (each producing 20 units) and oil (which produced only 10 units). By 2000, coal had become the fuel for more than 75% of electricity produced and only hydro continued to be another significant source supplying approximately 20%.In contrast, France used coal as a source for only 25 units of electricity in 1980, which was matched by natural gas. The remaining 40 units were produced largely from oil and nuclear power, with hydro contributing only 5 units. But by 2000, nuclear power, which was not used at all in Australia, had developed into the main source, producing almost 75% of electricity, at 126 units, while coal and oil together produced only 50 units. Other sources were no longer significant.Overall, it is clear that by 2000 these two countries relied on different principal fuel sources: Australia relied on coal and France on nuclear power.

The greatest increase was in telephone ownership, rising from 42% in 1972 to 77% in 1983. Next came central heating ownership, rising from 37% of households in 1972 to 64% in 1983. The percentage of households with a refrigerator rose 21% over the same period and of those with a washing machine by 14%. Households with vacuum-cleaners, televisions and dishwashers increased by 8%, 5% and 2%, respectively. In 1983, the year of their introduction, 18% of households had a video recorder.The significant social changes reflected in the statistics are that over the period the proportion of British houses with central heating rose from one to two thirds, and of those with a phone from under a half to over three-quarters. Together with the big increases in the ownership of washing machines and refrigerators, they are evidence of both rising living standards and the trend to lifestyles based on comfort and convenience.

There were no figures given for male part-time workers, but female part-time had forty hours of leisure time, only slightly more than women in full-time employment, perhaps reflecting their work in the home.In the unemployed and retired categories, leisure time showed an increase for both sexes, as might have been expected. Here too, men enjoyed more leisure time—over eighty hours, compared with seventy hours for women, perhaps once again reflecting the fact that women spend more time working in the home than men.Lastly, housewives enjoyed approximately fifty-four hours of leisure, on average. There were no figures given for househusbands! Overall, the chart demonstrates that in the categories for which statistics on male leisure time were available, men enjoyed at least ten hours of extra leisure time.

In fact there is considerable fluctuation from country to country.In Great Britain the numbers in prison have increased steadily 30,000 to 80,000 in 1980. On the other hand in Australia, and particularly in New Zealand, the numbers fell markedly from 1930 to 1940. Since then they have increased gradually, apart from in 1980 when the numbers in prison in New Zealand fell by about 30,000 from the 1970 total. Canada is the only country in which the numbers in prison have decreased over the period 1930 and 1980, although there have been fluctuations in this trend. The figures for the United States indicate the greatest number of prisoners compared to the other four countries but population size needs to be taken into account in this analysis. The prison population in the United States increased rapidly from 1970 to 1980 and this must be a worrying trend.

The graph shows the trends in consumption of fast-foods.Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.（Model answer 165 words）The chart shows that high income earners consumed considerably more fast foods than the other income groups, spending more than twice as much on hamburgers (43 pence per person per week) than on fish and chips or pizza (bothunder 20 pence). Average income earners also favoured hamburgers, spending 33 pence per person per week, followed by fish and chips at 24 pence, then pizza at 11 pence. Low income earners appear to spend less than other income groups on fast foods, though fish and chips remains their most popular fast food, followed by hamburgers and then pizza.From the graph we can see that in 1970, fish and chips were twice as popular as burgers, pizza being at that time the least popular fast food. The consumption of hamburgers and pizza has risen steadily over the 20 year period to 1990 while the consumption of fish and chips has been in decline over that same period with a slight increase in popularity since 1985.。

校学生会主席李华招待英国交换生英语作文A Super Cool Day with the Exchange Students from Britain!Hey guys! My name is Xiaoming and I'm a fifth grader at Puxi Elementary School here in Shanghai. I've got to tell you about the totally awesome day we had when the exchange students from Britain came to visit our school! It was so much fun and I made some new friends from across the ocean. Let me tell you all about it!It was a sunny Tuesday morning and we were all in our classes having our usual lessons. Suddenly, the speaker crackled to life and the voice of our school's student council president Li Hua came on. "Attention students and faculty! I'm delighted to announce that our visitors from the United Kingdom have arrived. Please join me in the auditorium to give them a warm Puxi welcome!"We all cheered and hurried to put away our books. Getting foreign exchange students at our school is really rare and exciting! I rushed with my classmates to the big auditorium and saw Li Hua on stage with a group of teenagers who looked just a little older than me. Some had blonde hair and some had red hair. Their uniforms looked really different from ours.Li Hua stepped up to the microphone and welcomed everyone with her big smile. Even though she's only in 6th grade, Li Hua is super well-spoken and mature for her age. "Hello my fellow Puxi students! Today we are incredibly fortunate to have exchange students visiting us all the way from London, England. Please put your hands together for our guests!"We all clapped and cheered as the British students waved shyly. Li Hua introduced each of them one by one. There was Jessica, Mark, Emily, Oliver, and their teacher Mr. Woodhouse. They all seemed a bit nervous but excited too."While they are here," Li Hua continued, "Our guests will be experiencing authentic Chinese culture by attending classes, joining us for lunch, and participating in cultural activities. I encourage all of you to make them feel welcome and help them have an amazing experience here at our school."Li Hua then invited the British students to say a few words. Jessica went first and greeted us in her British accent that sounded super cool. "Hello everyone! We're very pleased to be here and are looking forward to learning all about your culture and way of life."The other students also said hello, and then it was time to go back to classes. I couldn't wait to meet the exchange students upclose! Two of them, Mark and Oliver, were assigned to join my class for the day.As they walked in with my teacher Mr. Wang, I immediately raised my hand. "Hey Mark! Hey Oliver! Welcome to China, mates!" I called out in my best British accent, which made them both laugh. They came and sat near me and we got to chatting right away.Mark leaned over and whispered, "Is it true that you're not allowed to celebrate Christmas here since you're not a Christian country?""Totally not true!" I told him. "Christmas is getting more and more popular in China, especially for young people. We love decorating trees and Santa and all that fun stuff!"Oliver looked shocked. "But I thought China was all Buddhist and Communist and things like that? You're allowed to do Christmas?"I laughed out loud at his surprised face. "Oliver, my friend, you've got a lot to learn about modern China! Most people follow a mix of Buddhist, Taoist, and folk religious traditions. But we're still a secular country with freedom of religion. My familydoesn't really follow any religion, but we go all out for Christmas with lights, festivities, you name it!"The British boys seemed really interested to learn more. We probably could have talked for hours, but then Mr. Wang called the class to order to start our math lesson for the day. Even though it was just going over long division, which isn't my favorite, it was still pretty cool having Mark and Oliver experience it all.After class, it was lunchtime. I was starving and couldn't wait to introduce the British kids to my favorite Chinese foods! As we walked into the cafeteria, their eyes went wide. On theself-service line there were vats of fried rice, dumplings, noodles, vegetable stir-fries, and more."Wow, this all looks incredible!" Emily exclaimed. "What kind of food is this exactly?""Are you kidding me?" I asked her incredulously. "You guys have never had authentic Chinese cuisine before? That's a crime! Here, let me show you how we do it."I piled their trays high with all the best dishes – yangzhou fried rice, xiaolongbao soup dumplings, beef chow mein, mapo tofu. The works! I encouraged them to shake on some sauce andtraditional spices too. When they took their first bites, you could see their faces light up with joy."This is delicious!" Mark exclaimed through a mouthful of noodles. "Why doesn't our food in Britain taste like this?"I beamed with pride. "See, I told you guys you were missing out. There's nothing better than real Chinese food. Now you know why it's so popular around the world!"We lingered over our lunch as they peppered me with questions about the different dishes and ingredients. I was happy to teach them about the cuisine of my culture. When the bell rang for afternoon classes, they could hardly move because they were so stuffed!After classes ended for the day, it was time for Li Hua's big cultural experience she planned. We all gathered in the gymnasium which had been decorated with beautiful Chinese lanterns, calligraphy arts, and even a little stage for performances.Li Hua took the mic and launched right into her program. "My dear friends, today we have the privilege of experiencing the richness of Chinese culture through its ancient arts and traditions..."We started by watching a few students demonstrate the delicate movements of ribbon dancing. The British kids looked on in awe at how seamless and elegant it was. Then we got to see a comicpassingact of qigong meditation that had us all laughing hysterically.But then came the part I had been looking forward to most –the Chinese yo-yo demonstration! This performer was a true master, doing all kinds of incredible tricks and stunts. At one point he even jumped sideways through the yo-yo's loop! We were all on the edge of our seats cheering him on.After the amazing performances, it was time for the exchange students to give it a try themselves. The teachers passed outyo-yos, paper for calligraphy art, and ribbons and fans for dancing. I partnered up with Oliver to teach him the basic yo-yo tricks."Here, let me show you the sleeper," I told him as I carefully dropped and raised the yo-yo. Oliver watched intently, file his tongue sticking out in concentration. When it was his turn, he got it on his fifth or sixth try."Hey not bad!" I encouraged him. "Now try the walking the dog move..."We spent the next hour laughing and learning the different cultural activities. Jessica was a natural with the ribbon dancing. Emily's calligraphy characters looked beautifully elegant. Even Mr. Woodhouse joined in, trying his hand at the dizzying martial arts moves of wushu.At the end, we all gathered around as Li Hua thanked the exchange students for joining us for such a special culture day. "You are all wonderful ambassadors for your country, and we hope you enjoyed this immersive experience into the ancient traditions of China," she said graciously. "Please come back soon!"The British kids each said a few words of gratitude and reflecting on how eye-opening the experience was. Mark looked right at me with a big grin as he said, "And a huge thank you especially to our buddy Xiaoming for showing us around all day. You're the best guide we could ask for!"As they filed out, I felt a kleine pang of sadness to see my new friends go. But I knew it wouldn't be the last time I cross paths with those British students. And who knows – maybe I'll be able to visit them in England sometime!What an amazing day it was. Li Hua and the whole student council did such an awesome job organizing it all. I have so muchrespect for Li Hua – she's smart, kind, and a phenomenal leader at such a young age. Getting to share my culture with people from across the world was an experience I'll never forget. This is just one more reason why I love my Puxi Elementary School!。

It is reported that British people spend more eating out than cooking for themselves and eating at home. It seems that many British people are becoming more and more interested in how good their food tastes, and also how healthy it is.However, eating out can also be expensive, so British people do not eat out every night. When having a date with friends or celebrating a birthday, many people like to go to a restaurant, and people also often eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theater.As in all cultures, there are many rules of manners about eating. The knife and fork should be used in the correct way. It is also impolite to speak with your mouth full when you are eating.Most British cities have a large collection of food as well as British food, from the very cheap to the very expensive—French, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese and many, many more.When people are too tired to cook after work, they often get a “takeaway”. This means that they order from a take­out restaurant by telephone, and then go to get it. Many take­out restaurants also send it to your house. All you have to do is to open the door, pay and eat!1. When do British people often eat in a restaurant?A. After celebrating a birthday.B. Before watching a movie.C. When they feel tired.D. If they want to have natural food.2. Many people prefer to eat out nowadays because ________．A. eating out is cheaper than cooking at homeB. they can learn more manners in the restaurantC. people care more about their food than beforeD. people don't like to stay at home after work3. From the fourth paragraph，we can learn that ________．A. British dishes are very expensiveB. Japanese dishes are the most expensiveC. British people like foreign foodD. French food is the most popular4. The “takeaway”is the food ________．A. you order and take out of the restaurantB. that is left when you are eating in a restaurantC. you order but don't need to pay at onceD. that is sold and ordered only on the phone5.

Phillip was a member of a mountaineering team that planned to climb a mountain. In order to enjoy the glory of being the first to reach the mountaintop, Phillip went to climb the mountain alone one night while the other mountaineers were sleeping.Obviously, climbing at night wasn’t a smart decision. But he still wanted to give it a try. He was nearly to the top when he suddenly slipped and started to fall. At that moment, his entire life flashed (闪现) before him .His body was hanging in mid-air. While thinking about how close he was to death, he feltthe rope around his waist (腰) suddenly tighten around him. He helplessly shouted, “Somebody helps me!” Suddenly, a low voice came from the valley, “Cut the rope!” “What?” He couldn’t believe what he heard. “Cut the rope around your waist!” It was dark all around, so he couldn’t see his surroundings. He refused to cut the rope, choosing to hold onto it as tightly as he could.The next day, when his fellow mountaineers found him, they discovered that he had died of exposure (暴露) to the cold, holding tight to the rope in his hands. But he was only ten feet above a big rock! If he had cut the rope and allowed himself to fall, he might have been able to land in a safe place, build a fire and wait for someone to save him.( ) 19.

Those are Chinese dishes!”According to a survey by Food Network UK, nine out of 10 British people said their favorite food was Asian. The number one international food in Britain was stir-fry, according to the Daily Mail, with 55 percent saying they ate it often.British has a very multicultural history. Centuries if history brought dishes from across the world. Almost every town in the UK has a Chinese or Indian restaurant, and Italian, Thai and Jamaican are not unusual. Perhaps it’s no surprise that they learned to cook and eat dishes from other countries. Traditional British food doesn’t have a great reputation （名声）. Internationalfood has become British food - even even British could cook without a recipe was Italian spaghetti bolognaise （意大利肉酱面）.However, if you’re in the UK and think a trip to a Chinese restaurant would be a great way to stay away from homesickness（思乡）, think again. Many British Chinese dishes aren’t exactly Chinese.At the end of every British Chinese meal, you get a sweet crisp know as a “traditional Chinese fortune cookie”. I have lived in Beijing for almost a year. I have yet to eat a fortune cookie that is really Chinese. A bowl of stir-fry followed by a fortune cookie... now that would be a way to cure my homesickness - for the UK.( ) 23.

International tastes of BritainD. The great British culture【答案】CDParents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door of his room is always closed,” Joanna noted.Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up(蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is to find out which time is which.”Before age 11, children like to tell their parent’s what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, writer of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”Parents who knows what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position (位置) to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental (精神的) break, for children also need freedom, though young.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager(管理者), with theirchildren is a better way to know the m.( ) 27.

Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives.【答案】C( ) 29. What’s the better way for parents to understand their children according to(根据)the writer?A. To be their children’s friend.B. To have a talk with their children every day.C. To do things with their children.D. To give their children a lot of freedom.【答案】A( ) 30.What can be learned form the passage?A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children.B. Parents have suitable(合适的) ways to talk with their teenagers.C. Parents should be patient with their silent teenager.D.

柱状图C1T3题目The chart below shows the amount of money per week spent on fast foods in Britain. The graph shows the trends in consumption of fast foods.Write a report a university lecturer describing the information shown below.The chart shows that high income earners consumed considerably more fast foods than the other income groups, spending more than twice as much on hamburgers (43 pence per person per week) than on fish and chips or pizza (both under 20 pence). Average income earners also favored hamburgers, spending 33 pence per person per week, followed by fish and chips at 24 pence, then pizza at 11 pence. Low income earners appear to spend less than other income groups on fast foods, though fish andchip remains their most popular fast food, followed by hamburgers and then pizza. From the graph we can see that in 1970, fish and chips were twice as popular as burgers, pizza being at that time the least popular fast food. The consumption of hamburgers and pizza has risen steadily over the 20 year period to 1990 while the consumption of fish and chips has been in decline over that same period with a slight increase in popularity since 1985.分析：题目The chart below shows the amount of money per week spent on fast foods in Britain.
