    Part I Writing范文

    For the purpose of learning English college students have mainly two options Some choose to take an online course which is a fashionable way to learn a foreign language to their eyes Others would like to join in a traditional course in classroom As far as I’m concerned I tend to join in a traditional course under the guidance of a teacher
    For my choice I have some reasons as follows In the first place studying with my fellow classmates will give me a sense of human connection which an online course can’t provide In the second place I will have more chances to make new friends when taking a traditional class than when joining in an online course Finally I won’t feel lonely in a traditional class not as in an online course
    Based on the analysis above I would rather take a traditional course to learn English I believe I can learn a lot from my classmates as well as from my teacher Taking a traditional course will definitely be an unforgettable experience in my college Come on guys do as I do

    There has been an ongoing debate about how fast trucks are going on American highways A proposal that was recently put forward to lawmakers would cap the speed of new US vehicles that are greater than 26000 pounds to a maximum of 68 miles per hour This would easily eliminate the speed issues many have with large trucks
    According to statistics currently there are 1115 fatal crashes involving trucks a year Many advocates and some truck accident lawyers have been advocating for ways to protect nonprofessional drivers
    While many support the potential new ban on speeding others are not so welcoming including other truck drivers who feel as if limiting their speed could create dangerous road conditions How could this worsen road conditions Easy If truck drivers are the slowest drivers on the road many other speeding drivers may run them off the road

    5 What are lawmakers advised to do
    6 How many serious crashes involving trucks happened each year
    7 Why do many people disagree with the proposal concerned

    Section B
    Directions In this section you will hear two long conversations At the end of each conversation you will hear four questions Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once After you hear a question you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A) B) C) and D) Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre

    Conversation One

    W Hi Max how are you doing with your job
    M Well Cherry quite good You know I’m adapting slowly to my work
    W I know you’re just starting this new job Never mind You’ll be good at it
    M I’m working hard on it I really want to be successful at my work
    W Wait young man in fact you may not understand what be successful might mean in the real world
    M Is it hard to define be successful at work To me be successful means you will become rich or be promoted to a high position in your company Am I right
    W No that happens in our dreams As a matter of fact most jobs sort of have a builtin limit to how much you will be paid and how high up you can be promoted
    M Then in your eyes what is success in a job
    W Realistically it means you can stand out and be respected by your boss
    M I think it’s easy to do that
    W As with many other worthwhile things in life success at work is not an easy thing to attain Just imagine if being successful at a job were easy then everyone would be doing it and that wouldn’t have much room for you to stand out
    M Yes that’s sensible Not everyone can be successful at work But what’s the key to standing out among others
    W You may laugh at my answer But it is hard work Doing the things needed to be successful in your job is hard work You know most people shy away from hard work
    M Yes not everyone wants to work hard all the time Then there’s a chance for hardworking people to stand out
    W Yes that’s right Well we may all realize that right now there is a crisis in American business In such a crisis employers need loyal dependable employees who are willing to work hard and take their job seriously
    M Every one of us can feel the influence of the present economic depression
    W Finding good hardworking employees is very very difficult to do these days I personally know a lot of people who work in management and I have yet to find even one who disagrees
    M That’s a bad thing for them and for our economy
    W So all you have to do to stand out and be successful in your job is to be a good employee loyal and hardworking and to be a solution to the problem instead of being part of the problem
    M If I myself work hard and my coworkers do not they may have a bad opinion of me and see me as someone trying to make them look bad
    W Never mind that Just keep in mind that you’re working there for you and for your employer

    Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard

    8 What’s said of the man in the conversation
    9 Why can’t most people be successful at their work according to the woman

    Conversation Two

    W Hello Professor Anderson how are you doing these days
    M Hello Alison everything is ok with me Actually I’ve been doing a research paper on street children in South Africa
    W Street children Have you visited a lot of these kids in person
    M Sadly I haven’t I hope I can visit them someday In fact now I’m just doing a research on papers writing about street children in South Africa
    W I seldom meet any street children What do you find about street kids in South Africa
    M Ok the first thing I want to share with you is the age of those street children
    W Is there something particular about their age
    M According to a researcher named Foster Richter street children in South Africa are between 7 and 18 with the majority between 13 and 16
    W Good age for middle school
    M Yeah however Ritcher also find that street kids in rich countries are much older than street kids in South Africa being older than 16 years and even up to 24 to 25
    W Wow I thought there are fewer street kids in rich countries Anyway how’s the life of a street kid
    M Another researcher in fact gives a detailed account of the life of a street kid As a bitter winter wind blows through the suburbs of Johnnesburg tenyear old Moses huddled in the doorway of a shop pulls another piece of cardboard over his body hoping it will block out the cold and bring him some sleep
    W Oh poor thing How come there are so many street children there
    M The reason behind is very complicated All the street children were of African origin and all were boys It’s said that the street children phenomenon in South Africa is merely the outcome of the political system of racial problems that has been in place since the 1940s
    W Are there any white street children in there
    M The vast majority of an estimated 9000 street children in South Africa are black There are virtually no white street children in South Africa but there are 10000 white children in 160 stateregistered and subsidized children’s homes
    W Are there any places of safety for African children
    M Although there’re some places of safety for African children but only 600 children were well taken care of Even more African children live on the streets It seems there’s much work to be done for Africanorigin street children……

    Passage One

    Oncampus jobs are often a great choice for students looking for a parttime job As any college student knows life is busy enough as it is with classes clubs homework exams and extracurricular activities It can be difficult to balance school with a work schedule and that balance is even harder to come by when you consider the commute to and from work
    Jobs on campus therefore tend to be a really good fit for college students For one oncampus employers tend to be more understanding about academic demands and are used to accommodating staffing changes based on fluctuations in course load In addition you won’t have to worry about hurrying from class in order to make it to work on time and working on campus is a great way to meet new people You’ll also make valuable connections with faculty and staff at your university
    There’re some tips for finding a campus job
    Firstly brainstorm about what you want to do Think about what skills you have that you could put to use Were you a lifeguard in high school Consider working at your university’s fitness center staffing the indoor pool Have you worked at a restaurant Consider your college dining hall
    Secondly don’t ignore your resume Just because you’re looking for a job on campus doesn’t give you an excuse to let your resume slide Treat the position as you would any formal job opportunity and make sure your cover letter and resume are attractive and informative

    16 Why are offcampus jobs not a good choice for college students

    18 What’s the speaker’s advice on your resume

    Passage Two

    There really can’t be any adult in this great big world that has never tried coffee It’s consumed everywhere and judging by the amount of Starbucks locations in the United States alone In 2012 there were 10924
    We love coffee And that’s fine In fact there are many advantages to being one of the 54 percent of Americans over 18 who drink coffee every day Coffee can be pretty amazing for your brain your skin and your body
    Just smelling coffee could make you less stressed Researchers at the Seoul National University examined the brains of rats who were stressed with insufficient sleep and discovered that those who were exposed to coffee smell experienced positive changes in brain parts tied to that stress Note this smell study doesn’t relate to stress by itself only to the stress felt as a result of lacking sleep Now we’re not entirely sure if this means you should keep a bag of roasted coffee beans on your bedside table every night but feel free to try
    Coffee could lessen the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease ScienceDaily reported in 2012 that drinking coffee may help people with Parkinson’s disease control their movement Ronald Postuma the study author said Studies have shown that people who drink coffee are less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease but this is one of the first studies in humans to show that coffee can help with movement symptoms for people who already have the disease

    Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard

    19 What good does drinking coffee do to adult Americans
    20 What did researchers at the Seoul National University find
    21 How could coffee help with Parkinson’s disease patients

    Passage Three

    The increase in demand for handcrafted wares is being driven by this city’s restaurants cafes and coffee bars They are asking potters to create functional bottles or other objects to give them an individual look and aesthetic Many newlyweds and qualityconscious locals are following suit and neglecting massproduced imports for unique and handmade items
    Back in the 1960s and 70s handbuilt pottery was the norm because there was no other way to buy jars plates and the like but by the late 80s and early 90s cheap imports flooded the market rendering locallymade wares unaffordable for many
    June Cummings has been an active member of the Gold Coast Potters Association for more than a decade and promotes the organisation’s Saturday Pottery Market The weekly markets exhibit a large variety of items lovingly made by local potters Adding to the atmosphere the markets are held in the historic Old Post Office Gallery
    The association was set up in 1977 and June says thanks to ongoing support for the Gold Coast City Council it has a great track record in teaching pottery and bringing awareness of the craft to locals It also hosts annual exhibitions of members work and workshops by renowned potters
    Potters have a language of their own and enjoy a familylike training program In the good old days of the 1970s and 1980s members could sell as many pots as they produced largely through stalls at local markets June says

    Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard

    22 What happened in the early 1990s
    23 What’s mentioned of the weekly markets
    24 When was the Gold Coast Potters Association established
    25 According to June Cummings how did local potters learn their potting skills

    Part IV Translation

    There is not much difference in between Western symbolism associated with Green and that of it in Chinese traditions The important differences include Green stands for wealth harmony growth eco friendliness in the West whereas it stands for clean and contaminationfree in China Green is also used to describe organic things for example Green Milk means organic or toxinfree milk and Green vegetables mean ones without pesticides But a man wearing a green hat means he has an unfaithful wife Thus green should be used carefully as it could symbolize something totally different
