But Simon decided to risk his life and try to lower Joe down the mountain on a【C3】ro______. The weather got worse as they went down. Then another disaster【C4】h______. They couldn't see or hear each other and, by mistake , Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice(悬崖). It was impossible for Joe to climb back or for Simon to pull him up.Joe's【C5】______(weigh)was pulling Simon slowly towards the precipice. Finally, after more than an hour in the dark and the【C6】______(ice)cold,Simon had to make a decision. He cut the rope. Joe fell into a huge crevasse(裂缝)in the ice below—but he survived. He had no food or water and he was in terrible pain. He couldn't walk, but he【C7】man______to get out of the crevasse. Then he started to hop and crawl towards their camp, nearly ten kilometres away. Simon had returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain. He thought that Joe must be【C8】______, but he didn't want to leave immediately. Three days later, in the middle of the night, he heard Joe's voice calling his name. He couldn't believe it. Joe was there, a few metres from their tent,still【C9】______(live). Simon felt guilty about cutting【C10】______rope, but both men believed he had done everything possible to save his friend.1. 【C1】2. 【C2】3. 【C3】4. 【C4】5. 【C5】6. 【C6】7. 【C7】8. 【C8】9. 【C9】10. 【C10】Part ⅢReading Comperhension Section APublic holidays and festivals are an important part of a country's life. They give everyone a break from routine and they form part of the annual life in that country.Sometimes they celebrate a day in a country's history, commemorate a special person , mark the passing of time or celebrate a religious festival.Many national festivals have been celebrated for years, but occasionally new ones come along and old ones gradually disappear. This is unlikely to happen to Burns' Night or St. Patrick's Day, however. The two festivals are celebrated far beyond their native land. The first of these, Burns' Night on 25 January, marks the birthday of the Scottish poet Robert Burns(1759—1796). It is celebrated by his countrymen and admirers, not only in Scotland but all over the world, from New York to Sydney, from Toronto to Tokyo.On Burns' Night the guests eat haggis. Haggis is chopped mutton and other ingredients encased in sheep's gut, which is boiled before being served. The haggis is brought into the room to the sound of the bagpipes and the chief guest "addresses" it reciting Burns' poem "Ode to the Haggis". After eating, the other guests recite more of Burns' poems, sing Scottish tunes and drink a lot of whisky. Another widely celebrated festival is St. Patrick's Day(17 March), which celebrates the life of the 5th-century saint, St. Patrick. St. Patrick was Bishop of Ireland, and it is said that he gave Ireland its national symbol when he illustrated his religious teaching with the shamrock—a three-leafed clover. But the festival is now more than anything a celebration of "Irishness" , whether it takes place in Dublin, Auckland, Melbourne, Montreal or Boston. On St. Patrick's Day there are big parades, and people wear shamrocks. In some places people add green colouring to the beer and even to rivers and streams. They go out and have " a good craic"(pronounced "crack")—Irish for good fun. Questions 56—60 Complete the table with no more than three words from the passage.56.57.58.59.60.Section BPeople wear clothes to protect their bodies from the cold or the burning sun, from insect bites and injuries, and from the unwelcome eyes of strangers. However, what people wear can also convey a message about who they are and their role in society.For example, visit nearly any country in the world and you will notice that young people everywhere are wearing fashionable blue jeans. They wear them not for work, but for social occasions such as parties and concerts. The jeans are somewhat of an index of how these young people view themselves : I'm modern and stylish. I'm different from the traditional older generation. 【B1】______They can convey allegiance to schools and sports teams, advertise places or products, serve as wearable travel souvenirs, and commemorate important occasions. These messages clearly tell others, This is what I want you to know about me. 【B2】______It says that the person wants to impress others with his or her professional status.A fitted jacket and matching trousers constitute a man's suit, while a fitted jacket and matching skirt constitute a woman's suit.A collared shirt and a necktie are integral parts of the man's outfit, while stockings and high-heeled shoes complete the woman's. 【B3】______Military personnel are easy to identify by their uniforms. The same is true for civil emergencypersonnel like police officers and firefighters. In certain contexts, special clothing is worn to differentiate not only the occupation of people, but also their authority. For example, the chef's tall white hat indicates his job and that he's in charge in the restaurant's kitchen. 【B4】______ For example, Scotsmen were distinctive tartans to show their clan affiliation, just as school uniforms identify children as students at a certain school.【B5】______In Western societies, women—and often men —wear wedding rings on their left hands. Other cultures use different symbols. Hindu women, for example, wear a red powder in their hair after they marry. Clothing serves many functions beyond just protecting our bodies. Clothing can tell a lot about the people who wear it. Questions 61—65Complete the passage with the following sentences. There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use.A. Clothing might also show which group a person belongs to.B. An even more direct means whereby people make statements about themselves is via messages printed on T-shirts.C. A uniform identifies the occupation of many people.D. Societies choose different ways to show marital status.E. Jeans make such an important statement that, in some groups, a person might be judged by the brand of jeans he or she is wearing.F. Often the original significance of the clothing has been forgotten or has changed over time.G. Just as blue jeans and T-shirtssay a great deal about the people who are wearing them, so does the Western business suit.6. 【B1】7. 【B2】8. 【B3】9. 【B4】10. 【B5】Section CChina's first Nobel Prize winner in physiology or medicine, Tu Youyou, celebrated her 86 th birthday by signing an official agreement to donate 1 million yuan to establish the Peking University Tu Youyou Talent Award Foundation.The initiative will provide financial support and incentives to the university's students and young teachers of medicine. A vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a vice-minister of education witnessed the signing at Tu's residence on December 25th, 2016, a few days before her birthday on December 30th. "I've gotten to where I am now thanks to the university's medicine programme," Tu says. "I hope the younger generation can achieve even more. " Young researchers enjoy a favourable environment compared with the past, as the country is now very supportive of science and innovation, she says. Tu is best-known for discovering the use of artemisinin(青蒿素)and dihydroartemisinin(双氢青蒿素)to treat malaria(疟疾). She shared the Nobel Prize in 2015 with Irishman William Campbell and Japanese Satoshi Omura for developing therapies against malaria and infections caused by roundworm parasites. That made her the first Chinese Nobelwinner in physiology or medicine, and the first Nobel winner whose education and research was completed exclusively in China.Tu enrolled in Peking University's medicine school(now the Peking University Health Science Centre)in 1951. After graduation, she continued her studies and research of fusing traditional Chinese and modern Western medicines at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, where she still works. She won the top medical-science prize, the Lasker Award, in 2011. She was the first Chinese to claim the honour. Her foundation will award 5, 000 yuan per student and 25, 000 yuan per teacher. The foundation's annual earnings will determine the number of recipients each year. The PKU Health Science Centre, founded in 1912, ranks among China's most prestigious medical schools. It has earned international prominence for its researchers' achievements. And some of the research has been published in the journal Science. Questions 66—70 Answer the following questions according to the passage.11. How did Tu Youyou celebrate her 86th birthday?12. What was Tu Youyou's contribution to medicine?13. Who won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine of 2015?14. How many students and young teachers can receive awards from the foundation each year?15. When was the Peking University Health Science Centre founded?Section DIn this age of consumerism, many people are finding themselves overloaded with possessions and a desire for even more, probably as a result of the countless advertisements we are exposed to. With advertisers finding new ways to get people to buy their products, a movement towards living a simpler non-consumer life is taking/doc/2d50c9ab326c1eb91a37f111f18583d048640f5d.html newspaper columnist Craig Wilson spent allof 2003 spending the least amount of money possible. He allowed himself to purchase books, music and gifts. Otherwise, he would not permit himself to buy anything new. Although he had to avoid certain stores, he was able to achieve his goal. He claims the experience was beneficial, and he continues to keep shopping to a minimum. Popular author Judith Levine came up with the idea and also found the experiment worthwhile. In 2006, a group of ten friends in San Francisco took the idea and made a pledge to live as cheaply as possible for a year. They posted their agreement online and attracted thousands of supporters, many of whom promised to join. An appearance on US TV led to global publicity and more members joined them. The pledge followed two rules: 1)Don't buy new products of any kind, and 2)either borrow or buy used merchandise. They allowed several exceptions to the rules. Although a few members failed to follow the rules at times, they generally succeeded and most of them continue their pledge to this day. Says Rachel, " It makes you change the way you look at things and appreciate what you have. " She estimates that she saved $4,000 that year. There are critics of the simplicity movement. Author Ted Nordhaus warns that this movement is unlikely to be successful on a large scale. Developing nations need markets for what they produce. He says, "To live is to consume, and only technology and innovation can begin to address these global issues. " Though living more simply may not solve all of the world's problems, many of us could reconsider our consumption practices that are putting a strain on our natural resources and add to rising levels of pollution. Indeed, in times when money is short, more people will be reducing their spending out ofnecessity, rather than out of concern for the environment. Regardless of the motivation, radically rethinking the ways we spend money and value possessions may be just what the world needs. Questions 71—75Complete the summary with a maximum of two words from the passage, changing the form where necessary.Due to the negative effects of【R1】______, many people are making an effort to reduce their amount of spending. They try to make their lives【R2】______by shopping less for new products they may not really need. A group of friends attracted so much【R3】______with their plan to avoid buying new products. They did allow for some【R4】______ to their no-shopping rules. There are some critics, however, who don't believe the movement will【R5】______ on a large scale. But many people still think it is necessary to rethink the ways we spend money and the value of new possessions.【R1】【R2】【R3】【R4】【R5】Part ⅣError CorrectionBicycle sharing has been a hotly debated topic over the past two years. Bicycles are nothingexotic to Chinese people. In the 1960s and 1970s, every family dream to own a bicycle, 【M1】______considering it a symbol of household wealth. In the 1980s, bicycles became a daily necessity andmost important means of transport for the Chinese. Since the 1990s, bicycles have lost 【M2】______their popularity as cars have gradually dominated China's streets. Even today, cars remain the symbols forfortune in society. Currently, bicycle sharing is fueling a cycling renaissance.【M3】______Public bicycle rental systems have been established in many countries, most by the 【M4】______government. Citizens only need to insert coins or swipe a special card to rent a bicycle and then return it to a fixed spot. And China's bicycle-sharing market is nothing like that. Equipped with a【M5】______GPS system, "Mobike" and "ofo" , China's two largest bicycle rental startups, theyenable【M6】______people to locate, book, and unlock a bicycle in their neighbourhood via a smartphone. Cyclerscan drop the bicycle somewhere as long as it doesn't disturb traffic. To some extent, 【M7】______China's bicycle-sharing industry has provided more convenience to city commuters. 【M8】______In 2015, the numbers of shared bicycles in China exceeded every other country. Although【M9】______the future of this business model is still unclear, bicycle-sharing is bound to change people's ways of travel. It embodies China's focus on efficiency, high costs and environmental protection.【M10】______1. 【M1】2. 【M2】3. 【M3】4. 【M4】5. 【M5】6. 【M6】7. 【M7】8. 【M8】9. 【M9】10. 【M10】Part ⅤTranslationSection A1. The Times is one of Britain's oldest and most influential newspapers. It began its life in 1785. In the nineteenth century, The Times developed a reputation for accurate reporting and independent editorial views. It is published in London, along with its sister newspaper, The Sunday Times, which has at least ten sections and takes all week to read! " The Times has had an excellent reputation for over 200 years," said its editor, who has worked for the paper since 1980, "and now we are trying our best to continue that tradition in order to produce a newspaper for the twenty-first century.

The world of work is no longer a man’s world. Between 1970 an 1995, the percentage of women who worker outside the home went from 50 percent to 76 percent. In the year 2000,of the more than 55 million married couples in the United State,10.5 million women were making more money than their husbands, and 2 million men were stay-at-home dads.Author, husband, and father Mark Wertman writes about being a stay-at-home dad in his book True Confessions of a Real Mr. Mom. His story will help other people who are learning how to live with the changing gender roles in our society.Mark and his wife, Georgine, were a two-income couple, but things changed when their first baby was born. Georgine wanted to continue her work as a lawyer, but someone had to stay at home to take care of the baby. Georgine had the higher paying job, so she became the provider. They had more children. Mark stayed at home to raise the children. In his book he tells many Stories about his role in the family.At first, it was difficult to change roles. The Wertman kids often went to Mrak first to talk about their problems .Georgine was jealous of the time the children spent with their father. Mark had some hard times, too. People often asked him,” When are you going to get a real job?” Even in the 21ST century, society respects the role of provider more than the role of child raiser. Mark found out all about this.Mark an Georgine learned that it is very important to talk about their problems. In the beginning , Mark thought Gergine had the easy job, and Georgine thought that Mark had it easy. Later they talked it over an making decisions together helps their relationship.The Wertmans are happy with the results of their decision. Their children are ready for a world where men an women can choose their roles. Wertman’s book is enjoyable an educational, especially for couples who want to switch roles. As Mark Wertman says, “We are society. We make the changes one by one. People ha ve to decide on what’s best for them and their families.”Questions:51.Why is the workplace no longer a man’s world?52.Wat is Mark Wertman’s book about?53.Why is Georgine the provider in the family?54.How do the Wertmans work out their problems?55.What does Mrak Wertman think about family roles?Section C (10 mark)Read the following advertisement and application letter carefully and answer questions 56 to 60.

For example, Romeo and Juliet hs not only been performed again and again in theaters around the world, but it has also been made into a very popular movie twice!How did this famous writer start out in the theater? During the late 1500s, Shakespeare’s plays were a large Globe used very few props because the audience. Were always interesting and exciting partly because the audience yelled at , cheered, and talked with the performers.The Globe was a great success. However, in 1613 during a performance of Shakespeare’s Henry VIII, a cannon was fired on stage, setting off fire. The fie completely destroyed he theater. The Globe was rebuilt a year later, but it did not stay open long. The theater was closed by the Puritans, who did not approve of entertainment .The Globe never opened again. and the building was finally torn down in 1644.Theater lovers in England never forgot the Globe, and in 1970 a decision was made to rebuild it as closely to the original design as possible. Imagine how people felt when, in 1989, hose working on the new Globe came across part of the original building only about 100 meters from the new theater. They were building the new theater almost in the original Globe’s location! The new Globe opened in 1999. and has since won many awards as one of the best tourist attractions in Europe.

SELLING DREAMS Many of us, it seems, have two very different careers. There is our normal job and there is the job we dream about but never do. A recent survey found over 30% of UK office workers wanted to do something else for a living. Now, a new company, Vocation Vacations, is offering people a chance to try their dream jobs. The company started in the US in January 2004. People choose a profession from a list of “dream jobs〞 on its website (e.g. zoo keeper). For two or three days, a computer programmer or lawyer can go to a zoo and work there. An expert helps them. “You’re a regular employee for the day,〞 says Brian Kurth , who runs the holiday company. Holidays cost from about $400 to manage a small hotel to about $2,000 for a weekend as a zoo keeper.
I am suspended in the air, I touch nothing, and I am surrounded by lights. Now I dress myself afresh, and now I am naked, and I am in the heat and the cold, by night and by day. Everyone amuses himself by tramping upon me, even the animals abuse and scorn me, and yet I have such treasures hidden in my bosom that he who finds them I can make full of happiness.

In 1957 he was diagnosed with cancer, and given only days to live. He heard tumors the size of oranges. He heard that scientists had discovered a new medication,Kerbionzen, which was effective against cancer, and he begged his doctor to give him the drug. His physician, Dr Philip West,finally agreed.Mr Wright was given an injection on a Friday afternoon,the astonished doctor found his pat ients out of his …death bed‟,joking with the nurses the following Monday. …The tumurs,‟ the doctor wrote later, …had melted like snow b alls on a hot stove.‟ Actually, Mr Wright had not been given a drug,just a mix of salt and water.This story has been ignored by doctors for a long time,dismissed as one of those strange tales that medicine cannot explain.The idea that what a patient believes can make a fatal disease go away is regarded as just too strange However, no scientists are discovering that placebo effect is more powerful than anyone had ever thought. They are also beginning to discover how such miraculous results are achieved. (74) Through new techniques in brain imagery, it has been shown that a thought, a belief or a desire can cause chemical processes in the brain which can have powerful effects on the body.Placebos are …lies that heal‟, said Dr Anne Harrington, a scie nce historian at HavardUniversity. …The word placebo is Laitin for “I shall please” or “I shall make you happy” and it is typically a treatment that a doctor gives to anxious patients to please them,‟ she said. …It looks like medication,but has no healing ingredients whatever.‟ Nowadays, doctors have much more deffective medicines to fight disease, but these treatments have not diminished the power of the placebo – quite the opposite. (75)Maybe when scientists fully understand how they work, the powerful healing effects of the human maind will be used more systematically.Questions 71-73:Read the passage, and then say whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).71.Wr Wright was given a new cancer medication which contained healing ingredienes.72.After Dr Philip West gave Mr Wright the injection, Mr Wright got better.73.Scientists are discovering that placebos don‟t have any effect at all.Questions 74-75: Translate the underlined sentences 74 and 75.Section D (10 marks)Robots are useful inexploring space because they can work in the conditions which exist in space. Such robots usually look like boxes with wheels. Though these robots are useful, however, they are extremely expensive-they break easily and they are cannot do very many tasks. Because ofthese problems, scientists have been working on a new and unusual kind of robot. These new robots will look and move like snakes, so they have been given the name …snakebots‟.The way a snake is shaped allows it to do special things, such as getting into very small spaces, like cracks in rocks. Snakes can also push themselves underground, and climb up different kinds of objects, like rocks and trees. Such abilities account for the usefulness of robots designed like snakes, because they will be able to do these things, too. Such robots would be much more effective than regular robots with wheels. Wheeled robots easily get stuck and fall over, but snakebots would not have these problems. They could go almost anywhere and so would be useful for exploringth different environments of other planets. Since they can carry tools, snakebots would be able to work in space, as well. They could, for example, help repair the Internetion Space Station.How do you make a robot shaped like a snake? A snakebot is put together like a chain, made of about thirty parts, or modules. Each module is basically the same-they all containa computer and a wheel to aid movement. The computer in the …head‟ of the snake makes the modules work together. If one module fails, another can easily take its place. Snakebot modules can also carry different kinds of tools, as well as cameras. Since each module is actually a robot in itself,each module can work apart from the restif necessary.The snakebot design is much simpler than of mostcommon robots. Thus, snakebots will be much less expensive to build. One of the robots sent to Mars cost a hundred million dollars to build.However, snakebots cost as little as a few dollars to make and could therefore save . enormous amounts of money on future space missions ,With their versatility and affordability , snakebots will be the way of the future; at least as far as space robots are concerned.Questions 76~80: read the passage carefully and then complete each space in the summary, using a maximum of three words from the passage.Summary:It is much easier to send robots, rather than people, into space, but scientists have found that robots with wheels are not the most (76)_____ ones. This is because there are many problems associated with today‟s robots: they are very expensive, they (77)___ and cannot do many tasks. In fact, for exploring places with lots of obstacles to go over or under, (78)_____ word better than wheeled robots. They are made of separate parts, or (79)_______, each of which is actually a robot in itself. Snakebots can go almost anywhere and do many different kinds of tasks. It books as though robots shaped like snakes will be the way of the future owing to their (80) _____.Part 5 translation (10 marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. Remember to write answer on the answer sheet.81. 请复习课堂上讨论过的要点,还有你自己感到混淆不清的地方。

大学生英语竞赛d类真题作文及答案

大学生英语竞赛d类真题作文及答案

大学生英语竞赛d类真题作文及答案College Student English Contest Class D Writing Test and AnswerPart 1: WritingWrite an essay of about 300 words on the following topic:In recent years, the rapid development of technology has greatly impacted people's lives. However, some people argue that technology is making our lives more convenient, while others believe it is causing more harm than good. What is your opinion on this issue? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Answer:In today's fast-paced world, technology plays a significant role in shaping our daily lives. While some argue that technological advancements have made our lives more convenient, others believe that the negative impacts of technology far outweigh the benefits. In my opinion, technology is a double-edged sword that has both positive and negative effects on our lives.On one hand, technology has revolutionized the way we live and work. The invention of smartphones, computers, and the internet has made communication more efficient and accessible. We can now connect with people around the world within seconds, access information at our fingertips, and even work remotely from the comfort of our homes. This level of convenience and connectivity would not have been possible without technology.However, the overreliance on technology has also brought about several negative consequences. People are becoming increasingly dependent on technology for everyday tasks, such as shopping, banking, and even socializing. This dependence can lead to a lack of face-to-face interactions and a decrease in social skills. Moreover, the constant use of technology can have adverse effects on our physical and mental health, such as eye strain, poor posture, and addiction to screens.In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedly made our lives more convenient, it is important to strike a balance between using technology as a tool and not letting it control our lives. By being mindful of the negative impacts of technology and using it responsibly, we can harness its benefits while minimizing its harm.Part 2: Sample AnswerDo you agree or disagree with the following statement: "All students should be required to learn a second language in school." Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Answer:I strongly agree with the statement that all students should be required to learn a second language in school. Learning a second language has numerous benefits that extend beyond just being able to communicate in another language.Firstly, learning a second language can improve cognitive skills and academic performance. Studies have shown that students who are bilingual or multilingual have better problem-solving skills, creativity, and critical thinking abilities. By learning a second language, students can enhance their memory, concentration, and overall brain function, which can help them excel in other subjects as well.Secondly, knowing a second language can open up a world of opportunities for students in terms of career prospects and cultural understanding. In today's globalized world, being able to speak more than one language is a valuable skill that can givestudents a competitive edge in the job market. Multinational companies are always on the lookout for employees who can communicate with clients and partners from different countries, and knowing a second language can greatly increase a student's career options.Furthermore, learning a second language can foster a sense of cultural awareness and appreciation. By studying a different language, students can gain insight into the customs, traditions, and values of other cultures, which can help them develop empathy, tolerance, and respect for diversity. In a world that is increasingly interconnected, being able to understand and empathize with people from different backgrounds is essential for promoting harmony and cooperation.In conclusion, requiring all students to learn a second language in school is crucial for their academic, professional, and personal development. By learning a second language, students can enhance their cognitive skills, career prospects, and cultural understanding, which will prepare them to thrive in a globalized society.。
