Read the passages and then mark the best answer to each question on ANSWER SHEET TWO．TEXT AIn 2011, many shoppers chose to avoid the frantic crowds and do their holiday shopping from the comfort of their computer. Sales at online retailers gained by more than 15%, making it the biggest season ever. But people are also returning those purchases at record rates, up 8% from last year.What went wrong? Is the lingering shadow of the global financial crisis making it harder to accept extravagant indulgences? Or that people shop more impulsively - and therefore make bad decisions - when online? Both arguments are plausible. However, there is a third factor: a question of touch. We can love the look but, in an online environment, we cannot feel the quality of a texture, the shape of the fit, the fall of a fold or, for that matter, the weight of an earring. Andphysically interacting with an object makes you more committed .When my most recent book Brandwashed was released, I teamed up with a local bookstore to conduct an experiment about the differences between the online and offline shopping experience. I carefully instructed a group of volunteers to promote my book in two different ways. The first was a fairly hands-off approach. Whenever a customer would inquire about my book, the volunteer would take them over to the shelf and point to it. Out of 20 such requests, six customers proceeded with the purchase.The second option also involved going over to the shelf but, this time, removing the book and then subtly holding onto it for just an extra moment before placing it in the customer's hands. Of the 20 people who were handed the book. 13 ended up buying it. Just physically passing the book showed a big difference in sales. Why? We feel something similar to a sense of ownership when we hold things in our hand. That's why we establish or reestablish connection by greeting strangers and friends with a handshake. In this case, having to then let go of the book after holding it might generate a subtle sense of loss, and motivate us to make the purchase even more.A recent study also revealed the power of touch, in this case when it came to conventional mail. A deeper and longer-lasting impression of a message was formed when delivered in a letter, as opposed to receiving the same message online. Brain imaging showed that, on touching the paper, the emotional center of the brain was activated, thus forming a stronger bond. The study also indicated that once touch becomes part of the process, it could translate into a sense of possession. This sense of ownership is simply not part of the equation in the online shopping experience.As the rituals of purchase in the lead-up to Christmas change, not only do we give less thought to the type of gifts we buy for our loved ones but, through our own digital w ish lists, we increasingly control what they buy for us. The reality, however, is that no matter how convinced we all are that digital is the way to go, finding real satisfaction will probably take more than a few simple clicks.11. According to the author, shoppers are returning their purchases for all the following reasons EXCEPT that ____.[A] they are unsatisfied with the quality of the purchase[B]they eventually find the purchase too expensive[C] they change their mind out of uncertainty[D] they regret making the purchase without forethought12. What is the purpose of the experiment in the bookstore?[A] To see which promotion method is preferred by customers.[B]To find out the strengths and weaknesses of both methods.[C] To try to set up a new retailer-customer relationship.[D] To see the effect of an approach on customers' decisions.13. Why does the author cite the study by Bangor University and the Royal Mail Service?[A]To compare similar responses in different settings.[B] To provide further evidence for his own observation.[C] To offer a scientific account of the brain's functions.[D] To describe emotional responses in online shopping.14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?[A]Real satisfaction depends on factors other than the computer.[B] Despite online shopping we still attach importance to gift buying.[C] Some people are still uncertain about the digital age.[D] Online shopping offers real satisfaction to shoppers.Text BMy professor brother and I have an argument about head and heart about whether he overvalues IQ while I learn more toward EQ. We typically have this debate about people—can we be friends with a really smart jerk（怪物）?—but there’s corollary to animals as well. I’d love it if our dog could fetch the morning paper and then read it to me over coffee, but I actually care much more about her loyal and innocent heart. There’s already enough thinking going on is our house, and we probably spend too much time in our heads, where we need some role modeling is in instinct, and that’s where a dog is a roving revelation.I did not grow up with dogs, which meant that my older daughter’s respectful but unyielding determination to get one required some adjustment on my part. I often felt she was training me: from ages of 6 to 9, she gently schooled me in various breeds and their personalities, whispered to the dogs we encountered so they would charm and persuade me, demonstrated by her self-displine that she was ready for the responsibility. And thus came our dog Twist, whom I sometimes mistake for a third daughter.At first I thought the challenge would be to train her to sit, to heel, to walk calmly beside us and not go wildly chasing the neighbourhood rabbits. But I soon discovered how much more we had to learn from her than she from us.If it is true, for example, that the secret to a child’s success is less rare genius than raw persistence, Twist’s ability to stay on task is a model for us all, especially if the task is trying to capture the sunbeam that flicks around the living room as the wind blows through the branches outside. She never succeeds, and she never gives up. This includes when she runs square into walls.Then there is her unfailing patience, which breaks down only when she senses that dinnertime was 15 minutes ago and we have somehow failed to notice. Even then she is more eager than indignant, and her refusal to whine shows a restraint of which I’m not always capable when hungry.But the lesson I value most is the one in forgiveness, and Twist first offered this when she was still very young. When she was about 7 months old, we took her to the vet to be sprayed(切除卵巢). We turned her over to a stranger, who procceeded to perform a procedure that was probably not pleasant, But when the vet returned her to us, limp and tender, there was no recrimination(反责)，no how could you do that to me? It was as though she really knew that we could not intentionally cause her pain, and while she did not understand, she forgave and curled up with her head on my daughter’s lap.I suppose we could have concluded that she was just blindly loyal and docile. But eventually we knew better. She is entirely capable of disobedience, as she has proved many times. She will ignore us when there are more interesting things to look at, rebuke us when we are careless, bark into the twilight when she has urgent messages to send. But her patience with our failings and frickleness and her willingness to give us a scond chance are a daily lesson in gratitude.My friends who grew up with dogs tell me how when they were teenagers and trusted no one in the world, they could tell their dog all their secrets. It was the one friend who would not gossip or betray, could provide in the middle of the night the soft, unbegrudging comfort and peace that adolescence conspires to disrupt. An age that is all about growth and risk needs some anchors and weigths, a model of steadfastness when all else is in flux. Sometimes I think Twist’s devotion keeps my girls on a benevolent lash, one that hangs quietly at their side as they trot along but occasionally yanks them back to safety and solid ground.We’ve weighed so many decisions so carefully in raising our daughters—what school to send them to and what church to attend, when to give them cell phones and with what precautions. Butwhen it comes to what really shapes their character and binds our family, I never would have thought we would owe so much to its smallest member.15. In the first paragraph, the author suggests that____.[A]a person can either have a high IQ or a low EQ[B]her professor brother cares too much about IQ[C]we need examples of how to follow one's heart[D]she prefers dogs that are clever and loyal16. According to the passage, all the following are Twist's characteristics EXCEPT____.[A]resignation[B]patience[C]forgiveness[D]tenacity17. According to the context, the meaning of the word "square"is closest to____.[A]fast[B]blindly[C]straight[D]stubbornly18.ThatTwist's devotion keeps my girls on a benevolent leash means that____.[A]Twist is capable of looking after the girls[B]Twist and the girls have become friends[C]Twist knows how to follow the girls[D]Twist's loyalty helps the girls grow up19. What does the author try to express in the last paragraph?[A]Difficulties in raising her children.[B]Worries about what to buy for kids.[C]Gratitude to Twist for her role.[D]Concerns about schooling and religion.Text CMost West African lorries ate not in what one would call the first flush of youth, and I had learnt by bitter experience not to expect anything very much of them. But the lorry that arrived to take me up to the mountains was worse than anything I had seen before: it tottered on the borders of senile decay. It stood there on buckled wheels, wheezing and gasping with exhaustion from having to climb up the gentle slope to the camp, and I consigned myself and my loads to it with some trepidation. The driver, who was a cheerful fellow, pointed out that he would require my assistance in two very necessary operations: first, I had to keep the hand brake pressed down when travelling downhill, for unless it was held thus almost level with the floor it sullenly refused to function. Secondly, I had to keep a stern eye on the clutch, a wilful piece of mechanism, that seized every chance to leap out of its socket with a noise like a strangling leopard. As it was obvious that not even a West African lorry driver could be successful in driving while crouched under the dashboard in a pre-natal position, I had to take over control of these instruments if I valued my life. So, while I ducked at intervals to put on the brake, amid the rich smell of burning rubber, our noble lorry jerked its way towards the mountains at a steady twenty miles per hour; sometimes, when a downward slope favoured it, it threw caution to the winds and careered along in a madcap fashion at twenty-five.For the first thirty miles the red earth road wound its way through the lowland forest, the giant trees standing in solid ranks alongside and their branches entwined in an archway of leaves above us. Flocks of hornbills flapped across the road, honking like the ghosts of ancient taxis, and on the banks, draped decoratively in the patches of sunlight, the agama lizards lay, blushing into sunset colouring with excitement and nodding their heads furiously. Slowly and almost imperceptibly the road started to climb upwards, looping its way in languid curves round the forested hills. In the back of the lorry the boys lifted up their voices in song:Home again, home again, When shall I see ma home? When shall I see ma mammy? I'll never forget ma home . . .The driver hummed the refrain softly to himself, glancing at me to see if I would object. To his surprise I joined in, and so while the lorry rolled onwards trailing a swirling tail of red dust behind it, the boys in the back maintained the chorus while the driver and I harmonized and sang complicated twiddly bits, and the driver played a staccato accompaniment on the horn.Breaks in the forest became more frequent the higher we climbed, and presently a new type of undergrowth began to appear: massive tree-ferns standing in conspiratorial groups at theroadside on their thick, squat, and hairy trunks, the fronds of leaves sprouting from the tops like delicate green fountains. These ferns were the guardians of a new world, for suddenly, as though the hills had shrugged themselves free ofcloak, the forest disappeared. It lay behind us in the valley, a thick pelt of green undulating away into the heat-shimmered distance, while above us the hillside rose majestically, covered in a coat of rippling, waist-high grass, bleached golden by the sun. The lorry crept higher and higher, the engine gasping and shuddering with this unaccustomed activity. I began to think that we should have to push the wretched thing up the last two or three hundred feet, but to everyone's surprise we made it, and the lorry crept on to the brow of the hill, trembling with fatigue, spouting steam from its radiator like a dying whale. We crawled to a standstill and the driver switched off the engine.“We must wait small-time, engine get hot, he explained, pointing to the forequarters of the lorry, which were by now completely invisible under a cloud of steam. Thankfully I descended from the red-hot inside of the cab and strolled down to where the road dipped into the next valley. From this vantage point I could see the country we had travelled through and the country we were about to enter.20. That it tottered on the borders of senile decay means that the lorry was_________.about to break downa very old vehicleunable to travel the distance[D] a dangerous vehicleWhich of the following words in the first paragraph is used literally?Flush.Borders.Operations.Gasping.We learn from the first paragraph that the author regards the inadequacies of the lorry as _________.[A] inevitable and amusing[B]. dangerous and frightening[C] novel and unexpected[D] welcome and interesting23. All the following words in the last but one paragraph describe the lorry as a human EXCEPT .tremblingspoutingshudderingcrept24. We can infer from the passage that the author was ________.bored by the appearance of the grasslands aheadreluctant to do any walking in so hot a climateunfriendly towards the local driver and boysa little surprised to have to help drive the lorry25. A suitable title for the passage would be _______.A journey that scared meA journey to rememberThe wild West African lorryA comic journey in West AfricaText DHave you ever noticed a certain similarity in public parks and back gardens in the cities of the West? A ubiquitous woodland mix of lawn grasses and trees has found its way throughout Europe and the United States, and it’s now spread to other cities around the world. As ecologist Peter Groffman has noted, it's increasingly difficult to tell one suburb apart from another, even when they're located in vastly different climates such as Phoenix, Arizona, or Boston in the much chillier north-east of the US. And why do parks in New Zealand often feature the same species of trees that grow on the other side of the world in the UK?Inspired by the English and New England countrysides, early landscape architects of the 19th Century such as Andrew Jackson Downing and Frederick Law Olmstead created an aesthetic forurban public and private open space that persists to this day. But in the 21st Century, urban green space is tasked with doing far more than simply providing aesthetic appeal. From natural systems to deal with surface water run-off and pollution to green corridors to increasing interest in urban food production, the urban parks of the future will be designed and engineered for functionality as well as for beauty.Imagine travelling among the cities of the mid-21st Century and finding a unique set of urban landscapes that capture local beauty, natural and cultural history, and the environmental context. They are tuned to their locality, and diverse within as well as across cities. There are patches that provide shade and cooling, places of local food production, and corridors that connect both residents and wildlife to the surrounding native environment. Their functions are measured and monitored to meet the unique needs of each city for food production, water use, nutrient recycling, and habitat. No two green spaces are quite the same.Planners are already starting to work towards this vision. And if this movement has a buzzword it is “hyperfunctionality” – designs which provide multiple uses in a confined space, and a term coined by Richard Pouyat of the US Forest Service. At the moment, urban landscapes are highly managed and limited in their spatial extent. Even the "green" cities of the future will contain extensive areas of buildings, roads, railways, and other built structures. These future cities are likely to contain a higher proportion of green cover than the cities of today, with an increasing focus on planting on roofs, vertical walls, and formerly impervious surfaces like car parks. But built environments will still be ever-present in dense megacities. We can greatly enhance the utility of green space through designs that provide a range of different uses in a confined space. A hyperfunctional planting, for example, might be designed to provide food, shade, wildlife habitat, and pollution removal all in the same garden with the right choice of plants, configurations, and management practices.What this means is that we have to maximise the benefits and uses of urban parks, while minimising the costs of building and maintaining them. Currently, green space and street plantings are relatively similar throughout the Western world, regardless of differences in local climate, geography, and natural history. Even desert cities feature the same sizable street trees and well-watered and well-fertilized lawns that you might see in more temperate climes. The movement to reduce the resources and water requirements of such urban landscapes in these arid areas is called "xeriscaping" – a concept that has so-far received mixed responses in terms of public acceptance. Scott Y abiku and colleagues at the Central Arizona Phoenix project showed that newcomers to the desert embrace xeriscaping more than long-time residents, who are morelikely to prefer the well-watered aesthetic. In part, this may be because xeriscaping is justified more by reducing landscaping costs – in this case water costs – than by providing desired benefits like recreation, pollution mitigation, and cultural value. From this perspective, xeriscaping can seem more like a compromise than an asset.But there are other ways to make our parks and natural spaces do more. Nan Ellin, of the Ecological Planning Center in the US, advocates an asset-based approach to urbanism. Instead of envisioning cities in terms what they can't have, ecological planners are beginning to frame the discussion of future cities in terms of what they do have - their natural and cultural assets. In Utah’s Salt Lake City, instead of couching environmental planning as an issue of resource scarcity, the future park is described as "mountain urbanism" and the strong association of local residents with the natural environment of the mountain ranges near their home. From this starting point, the local climate, vegetation, patterns of rain and snowfall, and mountain topography are all deemed natural assets that create a new perspective when it comes to creating urban green space. In Cairns, Australia, the local master plan embraces "tropical urban ism" that conveys a sense of place through landscaping features, while also providing important functions such as shading and cooling in this tropical climate.The globally homogenised landscape aesthetic – which sees parks from Boston to Brisbane looking worryingly similar – will diminish in importance as future urban green space will be attuned to local values and cultural perceptions of beauty. This will lead to a far greater diversity of urban landscape designs than are apparent today. Already, we are seeing new purposes for urban landscaping that are transforming the 20th century woodland park into bioswales – plantings designed to filter stormwater – green roofs, wildlife corridors, and urban food gardens. However, until recently we have been lacking the datasets and science-based specifications for designs that work to serve all of these purposes at once.In New Y ork City, Thomas Whitlow of Cornell University sends students through tree-lined streets with portable, backpack-mounted air quality monitors. At home in his laboratory, he places tree branches in wind tunnels to measure pollution deposition onto leaves. It turns out that currently, many street tree plantings are ineffective at removing air pollutants, and instead may trap pollutants near the ground. My students and I equipped street trees with sensors in and around the trunk in Los Angeles to monitor growth and water use in real time to help find which species provide the largest canopies for the lowest amount of water. Rather than relying on assumptions about the role of urban vegetation in improving the environment and health, future landscaping designs will be engineered based on empirical data and state of the art of simulations.New datasets on the performance of urban landscapes are changing our view of what future urban parks will look like and what it will do. With precise measurements of pollutant uptake, water use, plant growth rates, and greenhouse gas emissions, we are better and better able to design landscapes that require less intensive management and are less costly, while providing more social and environmental uses.26. According to the passage, which of the following serves as the BEST reason for the similarity in urban green space throughout the West?[A] Climate.[B] Geography.[C] Functional purposes.[D] Design principles.27. The following are all features of future urban green space EXCEPT that .[A] each city has its distinct style of urban green space[B] urban landscape will focus more on cultural history[C] urban green space will be designed to serve many uses[D] more green cover will be seen on city roofs and walls28. Why are some local residents opposed to "xeriscaping"?[A] It cannot reduce water requirements.[B] It has proved to be too costly.[C] It is not suited for the local area.[D] It does not have enough advantages.29. According to the passage, if planners adopt an asset-based approach, they will probably .[A] incorporate the area's natural and cultural heritage into their design[B] make careful estimation of the area's natural resources before designing[C] combine natural resources and practical functions in their design。

TEM 8 2015 WritingThere has been a new trend in economic activity- the sharing economy. The biggest sector of the sharing economy is travel. You find a potential host through a website. If you both get along and they are available during your planned trip, you stand a chance of getting a place for free. In addition, people also use website and apps to rent out their cars, houses, tools, clothes and services to one another. Time magazine has included this trend in a list titled “10 ideas that will change the world.” It said, “In an era when families are scattered and we may not know the people down the street, sharing things-even with strangers we’ve met just online-allow us to make meaningful connections.” What do you think of Time’s comment?My Views on the Sharing EconomyIn the first part you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second you should support your argument with appropriate details, in the last part you should bring what you’ve written to a natural conclusion or make a summary..My Views on the Sharing EconomyWith the advent of Information Era, people get used to the life which is deeply influenced by technology. They live in various networks, which is enormously connected by Internet. Individuals are separated in the real world, but they can be easily reached in the virtual world. Technology is superb catalyst to this change, people build favorable link with others from all the globe. Some new concepts emerged at this point, sharing is an example. There is even a new trend in economic circle-sharing economy. This, of course, will be of help for exchange of different civilizations.Firstly, individuals are able to reach the world they can't even dream, and maybe take the chance to establish some relationship with this world. Human beings are connected by different networks. It's said that any two of us can be associated through the networks of seven acquaintance. People can also use diverse social network softwares to communicate with others nearby or abroad, which is great to exchange thoughts, broaden horizon and refresh life. During the communication, people share what they can present, sharing narrows the distance between them.Through the connections of individuals, your community will be influenced gradually more or less.Secondly, personal sharing would favor the connection of different communities. When the gate of sharing opens, from individual to community, people will adapt themselves to this new lifestyle. They desire to probe into others' communities to discern their world. This change is infinite, language and lifestyles, food and custom, to the deepest part, thinking pattern. People meet cultural shock and bridge the gap via friendly exchange and kind sharing.Thirdly, as human race steps into a global village created by technology, people can share in a bigger world that exceeds the scope of community. Globalization is tendency is the twenty-first century, we build tight connection via different like G20 and APEC. China advocates One Belt One Road Initiative to establish closer relationship, both economic and cultural, with the Asia and European world. In the wake of closer connection, people learn from each other and strengthen the relationship.Sharing economy offers much convenience to our life, we cross obstacle of time and distance to exchange views with people from different parts of the world. and visit the place we dream to go or experience the life they live. Through such experience, our life will be largely enriched and the most important is to enhance the communication of different civilizations in the world.。

part in the sharing economy and take good advantage of it.范文一my views on the sharing economythe sharing economy has been a new trend in economic activities.many people benefit a lot through it while different people hold different opinions toward the new topic.on my personal note,with thedevelopment of the modern society and economy,the sharing economy plays an important part nowadays.my reasons are as follows.first of all,it helps people make good use of resources.as we allknow,the owners can share their available bargains with people who need for free or rent their unused things to one another.it can make sure that many things can be used for as many times as possible instead of being abandoned in the corner.secondly,as the old saying goes:the roses in her hand,the flavor in mine.the sharing economy is just like the rose,it is the bridge between owners and recipients and offers a brand new way to help others and the owners will receive happiness at the same time.when one release the notethat he need a place to stay for some time,the one who can offer him will contact him and they both can get what they want.last but not least,people can make more friends through this.by chatting or negotiating online,two strangers can become familiar with each other and make meaningful connections.for example,if you plan to travel and you find the man who are willing to offer you a place tostay,you will share your journey with him or her,then you may find you two have similar outlooks on life or other similarities.you may even keep in touch with each other for a long time after the bargain.in summary,as the times magazine comments,the sharing economy is becoming one of 10 ideas that change the world.it brings muchconvenience in our daily life.from my point of view,we can take an active part in the sharing economy and take full advantage of it.（304 words）范文二，my views on the sharing economythe sharing economy refers to the economic pattern in which people share access to resources, such as goods, services and data. this newly emerging trend would be impossible without the development oftechnology. it is the internet that makes the sharing cheaper and easier and helps to strike a balance between supply and demand. time magazine has listed the sharing economy as one of the “10 ideas that will change the world”. as far as the comment is concerned, i cannot agree with time more非常同意. as one of the greatest benefits of the digital age, the sharing economy arises from our oldest instinct as human beings. there is always an urge for us to connect with others, especially in an era when families are scattered and we do not really know the people who live nearby. it has been said that “joys shared with others are more enjoyed.” however, in my eyes, the resources shared with others are more beneficial to our society.on the one hand, sharing economy leads to a more efficient use of resources. some items are expensive to buy but widely owned by people who do not make the best use of them. occasional sharing may provide extra income for the owners and can be less costly for the borrowers. if managed well, a win-win situation is achieved for both parties in the process. besides, sharing economy contributes to environmental protection. take accommodation for example. the more hotels are built, the more resources are required, which might in turn result in a decrease in arable land and public green space. on the other hand, the transaction 交易cost is reduced due to the use of internet and various apps. with asmart phone in your hand, it is not difficult to find a potential host in the neighboring area. people are meeting increasingly on screens, discussing online and purchasing goods domestic and overseas, paying through internet payment system.to summarize, although the sharing economy is not perfect at present because of concerns in insurance, legal liability, safety and the like, i believe, quite firmly, that it represents the future trend and has the power to change the world for the convenience and flexibility it brings to us. just as the old chinese saying goes, the defects cannot obscure掩盖 the virtues of a splendid jade瑕不掩瑜, and i assume it also applies to the sharing economy.（400 words）【篇二：专八写作真题范文】2005interview is frequently used by employers as a means to recruit prospective employees. as a result, there have been many arguments for or against the interview as a selection procedure. what is your opinion? write an essay of about 400 words to state your view.the interview as a selection procedureinterview, as an important means to recruit employees, happens every day in our modern lives. most students have received or will receive one or more after their graduation. popular as it is, an interview raises plenty of arguments. some people regard it as an efficient way while others think it is impossible to know a persons real ability and character in such a short time. in my opinion, it is a proper and effective way to recruit employees.to begin with, interviews provide employers as well as employees opportunities to learn about each other. in order to get the position, job hunters should present their excellent qualities and abilities and try their best to get the interviewers attention and appreciation. a number of questions are carefully designed by the interviewer to figure out whether a candidate is qualified for the company or the position. through the questions and answers, not only the job hunters abilities, characters and hobbies are revealed, but also what the companies can give to the candidates are known, such as their salary, career future and so on .secondly the interview embodies the concept of fairness. in the interview, all the candidates face the same situation. they are questioned and scored by the same group of interviewers, which makes the selection more objective and democratic. whats more, nothing else but personal ability matters and is the decisive factor to obtain the job. an interview is not only a procedure for companies to select new employees but also a procedure for job hunters to select their satisfied companies. as to the right to choose, employees and employers are equal. thirdly, interviews broaden the choice range of both interviewers and interviewees. companies that need a lot of talents can hold a big interview to look for the candidates they really want. if they can not find enough, they can hold another. the interviewees, on the other hand, can attend severalinterviews to find the most appropriate companies in which they wish to work and develop.to sum up, interviews have many advantages and before any better means are created, it is the best way to recruit employees. with the development of our society, it surely plays more and more important roles in making full use of the resources of talents.2006joseph epstein, a famous american writer, once said, we decide what is important and what is trivial in life. we decide (so) that what makes us significant is either what we do orwhat we refuse to do. but no matter how different the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. we decide. we choose. and as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed. in the end,forming our own destiny is what ambition is about. do you agree or disagree with him? write an essay of about 400 words entitled:ambitionambition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which he or she carries out that decision. it provides us with the required driving force to accomplish any undertakings in our lives. just as joseph epstein, a famous american writer put it, “and as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed.” indeed, once we make up our minds to choose to do something, then our life becomes meaningful and specifically orientated. this notion of life, as far as i observe, is closest to truth and does apply to almost all aspects of life.first, ambition renders us a sense of mission. no matter what decision you make, you have to be responsible for your choice. your choice procures you a sense of orientation, or more specially a sense of mission. and only a strong mission may enable one to accomplish greatness. caesar of the ancient roman empire was urged by his ambition “i came, i saw, i conquered”, and became an uivaled empire builder in the history of rome. john milton, stimulated always by his ambition that aimed at writing some “mighty lines” which englandwould unwillingly forget, had in due time secured his position as the second shakespeare in the history of english literature. in the second place, ambition can bring one’s potentials to thefull. ambition may well serve as a catalyst(催化剂) activating one’s potentials. without ambition one’s potentials will remain slumbering like a dormant volcano. a case in point is ms zhang haidi, a chinese helen keller. it was her ambition to be a useful person that has turned the almost paralyzed zhang haidi into a well-accomplished figure whose achievements would dwarf those of some normal people aiming at the sun, though, at worst, they may probably land on the moon.influential as it is upon us, however, ambition must be channeled in the right di rection. if wrongly directed, one’s ambition may bring havoc on him and others. hitler, whose ambition was to conquer europe by whatever evil means, finally turned him into a demon. it was this demon that almost cast europe into anguish and suffering. another case is macbeth whose ambition was to become the king of scotland. however, his ambition was materialized by the murder of king duncan. consequently, unbearable guilt and psychological agony drove him to his tragic doom.to sum up, ambition can benefit us tremendously if wisely and correctly channeled, otherwise it may ruin others and ourselves. a poet says: life can be bad; life can be good; life can be dirty; life can be sad; life can even be painful. in my mind’s eye, a person can make his life beau tiful, meaningful and rewarding and stand out as a respectable personage if he is motivated by a well-oriented ambition.2008in a few months’ time you are going to graduate from university. how do you think your college years have prepared you for your future life? write an essay of about 400 words on the following topic:what i have learned from my years at universitymore than two thousand years ago, confucius, one of the greatest philosophers and educators in chinese history, sigh with grief while standing on the river and compared the transient passage of time to the flowing water. with a blink of eyes, i will graduate from this university a few months later. at this moment, i think i have a deeper understanding of this great thinker’s saying. think ing of my impending graduation, i am excited but meanwhile i am upset, mixed with some other feelings beyond words. looking back the details of the past fewyears, i can not help asking myself, “what have i learned from my years at university?” in my opini on, this question is one that every one of us can not avoid.i think what i have learned in the passing years is that i have gained more knowledge and acquired some basic professional skills, which will lay a sound foundation for my future career. through the involvement of various social activities and participation in different clubs and associations, i got to know more friends as well as my classmates. by getting along with them, i have acquired some useful communicative skills and begin to know how to understand and appreciate others, which i suppose will be expected to play an important role in my future life. more importantly, i have gained the abilities to handle the problems and deal with crises independently.2009mandarin, or putonghua, is the standard service sector language in china. however lately some employees of a metropolis subway company start using dialects to cater to the requirements of people from different areas in order to render better service. opponents sees the countering effects of such movement to the national policy of promoting mandarin across china. write in 400 words your opinion and support your argument and bring your essay to a natural conclusion.dialects are just acceptable in public placeschinas state administration of radio film and television (sarft) recently issued a notice banning domestic radio and tv stations from translating foreign radio and tv programs into any local dialect. the notice said that such dialect translation contradicted the national initiative to promote putonghua, or mandarin, around the country. foreign programs that have been translated into dialects must be removed from television and radio immediately. the notice evoked a mixed response from experts and audio and video producers, as well as the general public. many voiced their concerns that local dialects would be forbidden in public places. mandarin, which means common language, is the countrys predominant language and is widely used by more than 70 percent of the population. however, local dialects still enjoy popularity for relatively less-educated people on some occasions. the dialects do make aunique role and should be tolerated for existence in public places.though promoted widely in public places, dialects are acceptable in public places. first, it is more than a mere tool for communication. it is, most importantly, the messenger of its respective culture. if the dialect was eliminated from daily use, the culture will be broken. second, mandarian can absorb the elite part of local dialects to eich its vocabulary and usage. this is the perfection of mandartian from the blend and contact of thousands of years. the dialects can also be popular in the public. along with the famous short play by comic actors in ne china, the local dialect came into the spotlight, and enjoyed more popularity throughout china. such a cultural phenomenon represents the audience’s attitude to local dialects which cater to the taste of the majority. third, a local dialect is the only means of communication to some undereducated local people. if local dialects are forbidden in the public places, they can not communicate.to sum up, local dialects should be tolerated in public places for its unique role which mandarian can not substitute. we should guarantee its survival because dialects stand for our spiritual land. from a long-term perspective, dialects should not and would not be wiped out. there is no need for any purposeful and deliberate attempt to protect dialects. just let dialects take their natural course. the best way to protect a dialect is to use it in daily life and pass it down from generation to generation.2010recently newspapers have reported that officials in a little-known mountainous area near guiyang, guizhou province wanted to turn the area into a “central business destrict” for guiyang and invited a foreign design company to give an entirely new look. the design company came up with a blueprint for unconventional, super-futuristic buildings. this triggered off different responses. some appreciated the bold innovation of the design, but others held that it failed to reflect regional characteristics or local cultural heritage. what is your view on this? write an essay of about 400 words. you should supply an appropriate title for your essay.the important role of a city’s local conditions in the urban designrecently there is a hot debate on a report that a foreign design company invited by a little-known mountainous area in guiyang provided a design without paying too much attention to the city’s unique characteristics. some people appreciate the bold innovation of the design but others do not like it. in my opinion, any urban design should take the city’s original cultural heritage into account. the designers should suit their design to local conditions and try to take advantage of the local resources. first, a city’s regional characteristics or local cultural heritage are its symbol, its identity. in a mountainous area, too many unconventional, super-futuristic buildings will not be compatible with the city’s landscapes. without these landscapes, it is just another so called modern city composed of concrete and steel. take beijing for example. in the past few years, beijing has been removing a large number of such alleys traditionally called hutong, in order to make it become a real international city. but without these alleys can this city still be called beijing, an ancient capital? the disappearance of hutongs means the disappearance of a period of history, a cordial lifestyle, and even the disappearance of beijing itself. then beijing will lose its uniqueness.second, it can help a city save a lot of money by suiting the design to local conditions and try to take advantage of the local resources. this is especially important to small cities, like that in a mountainous area near guiyang. we all know guiyang is a developing city, not very rich. unconventional, super-futuristic buildings mean large need of money input. then more burdens may be added to this city, which will run counter to the city’s original purpose of developing itself. instead, if connections between a city’s culture and various urban sectors, including housing, infrastructure and governance, are well made, the maximum economic benefits will be achieved.besides, the modernization should be a gradual process. more haste, less speed. nonetheless, it should not be overlooked that the shortcomings of futuristic-style constructing outweigh its advantages.in conclusion, any urban design should take the city’s original cultural heritage into account. the designers should suit theirdesign to local conditions and try to take advantage of thelocal resources. a scientific city design should be dependenton the city’s regional characteristics, on a case-by-case basis.【篇三：2014年专八写作真题及两篇范文】真题：partvi writing (45 min)nowadays, some companies have work-from-home or remote working policies, which means that their employees do not

working from home, with some employers encouraging this practice. however, there exist opposing views on this phenomenon, with proponents claiming that it saves time and increases productivity, while opponents arguing that it lacks face-to-face communication and thus affects coordination. personally, i believe that there is truth in both opinions. therefore, this new style of working suits more jobs that demand less face-to-face communication. however, with thepopularization of the internet and its increasingly mighty function, working from home, or telecommuting, will definitely become an inevitable and irreversible trend.firstly, the advantages of telecommuting go far beyond saving time spent on travelling to and from the workplace. it provides a worker with an unimaginable degree of freedom and comfort. one can nearly arrange everything related to work according to his or her will. he can get up and go to bed at any time he wishes, as long as he fulfills his daily task. furthermore, he does not have to worry about his appearances or dressing. this is especially convenient to female workers. besides, one can choose to work out锻炼 during the break at time he deems proper. plus, he can enjoy cooking at home and have his favorite food, instead of putting up with the monotonous cuisine in the collective dining hall or potentially hazardous food in restaurants.secondly, communicating face to face is gradually losing its necessity in an increasingnumber of professions along with the strides made in online communication. this is true not only in such advanced industrialized countries as the u.s. and japan, but also here in china. such online communication tools as qq, we chat and micro blog provide people with not only verbal chat, but also voice chat and even video chat. one does not necessarily go out to see his colleagues or clients, for it can all be accomplished online. a case in point is the surging wave of onlineshopping. another strong evidence is online education. such virtual classrooms as yy and mooc have rendered actual classrooms seem outdated and stupid.undeniably, face-to-face communication cannot completely give way to virtualcommunication, especially at the starting stage of a community, or in such cases as individualized education and primary schooling. however, as a natural consequence of the development of science and technology, working from home represents the marching direction of advancedproductivity. as a member of modern society, one should get himself or herself fully prepared for the challenge of such a new style of working. （432 words）参考范文（二）telecommuting: a two-edged swordangels and devils are two poles apart, but working from home, or telecommuting, seems to combine them perfectly. alongwith the advances in computer and internet technologies, the past years have witnessed an increasing number of people working from home, with some employersencouraging this practice. however, there exist opposingviews on this phenomenon. some people take it for grantedthat it is a blessing, while others argue that it is a curse. as i see it, there is an element of truth in both views, and one should make a careful choice according to his or her conditions.on the one hand, no one can deny the fact that working from home brings about numerous benefits, which go far beyond saving time spent on travelling to and from the workplace. it provides a worker with an unimaginable degree of freedom and comfort. one can nearly arrange everything related to work according to his or her will. he can get up and go to bed at any time he wishes, as long as he fulfills his daily task. furthermore, he does not have to worry about his appearances or dressing. this is especially convenient to female workers. besides, one can choose to work out during the break at time he deems proper. plus, he can enjoy cooking at home and have his favorite food, instead of putting up with the monotonous cuisine in the collective dining hall or potentially hazardous food in restaurants.on the other hand, however, the above mentioned advantages of telecommuting may well turn out to be its demerits. while enjoying the freedom of time arrangement, one may find himself lack of discipline and regular hours, which might be a hazard to his physical fitness. in the same way, he or she may miss the opportunity to manifest his or her attractiveness tohis or her colleagues or people on the way to and back from work while appreciating the time and money that otherwise would be spent on dressing and making up. similarly, he orshe may find it troublesome to cook and wash dishes. what is the most important, as mentioned in the directions, is that telecommuting cut into face-to-face communication and thus affects the efficiency of coordination. as can be easilyperceived, face-to-face communication cannot completely give way to virtual communication, especially at the starting stage of a community, or in such cases as individualized education and primary schooling.in the final analysis, i should admit honestly that i cannot give a yes-no answer to the question whether telecommuting is a good thing or not. actually, it should be viewed as a two-edged sword, which presents both conveniences and troubles. the best policy, as i see it, is to make your own choice according to the nature of your work as well as your personality.。

2015年专八英语作文套写With the rapid development of society, MOOCS gained more and more popular among public, which leads to a heated controversy. For experts in university, they insist that online courses may fail to create a vibrant sense of intellectual community, which is of great essence to guarantee the quality of teaching. While college students who have enrolled in online classes, focus on the convenience, flexibility and independence online learning offers, as they are given the options to pick whatever classes they prefer and choose a time whenever they are available. As far as I am concerned, the merits of online teaching outweigh its demerits.At first sight, we cannot deny that online courses is unsuitable for students who are not in possession of self-discipline. Without face to face contact with teachers, students are more likely to get distracted by irrelevant materials, such as beautiful butterflies on the window, the sound of plane passing by, etc. which may results in the key points being miss out, ultimately damage the quality of leaning.Be that as it may , on second thoughts, more advantages may go to MOOCS. Among other merits, an indispensable effects should be upon the flexibility and convenience of taking class online. By using the technology of internet, online teaching make it possible for students to study outside the classroom with flexible time slot. For instance, if studying online, you needn’t run out of breath for fear of being late for morning class at school and when you are sick at home, you still have the access to gain new knowledge as others.More significantly, online learning is beneficial to enhancestudents’ability of learning independently and effectively. Compared to traditional classes, online classes give space for students to decide what content to learn, when to start and students are regarded as the core of learning process, which is conducive to improve their learning skills, such as the ability of gathering useful resources and managing spare time.All in all, despite the lack of bilateral interaction between teachers and students, the benefits of MOOCS deserve better recognition, for online courses not only break the limit of time and space while s tudying, but also improve students’ ability of independent learning.。
