2008全国卷英语作文

2008全国卷英语作文Dear Friends,I am writing to share with you my reflections on the importance of environmental protection. It is a topic that is close to my heart and one that I believe is crucial for our future.Firstly, the environment is the home we all share. It provides us with the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Without a healthy environment, our quality of life would be greatly diminished.Secondly, protecting the environment is not just a responsibility but also an opportunity. By adopting sustainable practices, we can create a cleaner, greener, and more prosperous world. This includes reducing waste, conserving energy, and supporting renewable energy sources.Furthermore, the younger generation has a vital role to play in environmental protection. As the future leaders of our society, it is up to us to take action and make a difference. We can start by educating ourselves and others about the importance of conservation and by participating in community clean-up events.In conclusion, the well-being of our planet and its inhabitants depends on our collective efforts to protect theenvironment. Let us all do our part and work together to ensure a better future for all.Sincerely,[Your Name]。

2008全国卷英语作文

2008全国卷英语作文It was a bright sunny day, and I was feeling restless.I decided to go for a walk in the park near my house. As I strolled along the path, I couldn't help but notice the vibrant colors of the flowers blooming all around me. The sweet scent of the blossoms filled the air, and I felt a sense of peace wash over me.Suddenly, I heard the sound of laughter coming from a group of children playing on the playground. Their joyful shouts and giggles were infectious, and I couldn't help but smile. It reminded me of my own carefree days as a child, when the world seemed full of endless possibilities.As I continued my walk, I came across an elderly couple sitting on a bench, holding hands and gazing lovingly into each other's eyes. It was a touching sight, a reminder of the enduring power of love and companionship. I felt a pang of longing for such a connection in my own life.The park was bustling with activity – families having picnics, friends playing frisbee, couples walking hand in hand. It was a scene of simple, everyday happiness that warmed my heart. I realized that sometimes, it's the little moments of joy and connection that make life truly meaningful.As I made my way back home, the sun was beginning to set, casting a golden glow over the park. I felt a sense of gratitude for the beauty and serenity of the natural world, and for the moments of happiness and connection that I had witnessed. It was a reminder to cherish the simple pleasures of life and to always seek out moments of joy and love.。

Y ou can’t see the president ______ you’ve made an appointment with him.A. ifB. unlessC. whenD. exceptPart II Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questionsor incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWEAR SHEET.Passage OneEver since Stephanie’s 13th birthday we have been receiving comm ents from otheradults expressing their sympathies because our daughter is now a teenager. We’ve heard everything from, “ Sure she’s a good kid, but just wait, now that she’s a teenager ...” to the ever inspiring, “Well, all kids are rotten when they are t eenagers, just try to go through it the best way you can.” What’s more upsetting is that many of these insensitive adults feel the need to share their negative predictions well within the hearing of both our daughters.I know that teenagers can be moody an d difficult at times, but I’m 32 and I can also be difficult and moody. We worry about the future and want today’s kids to know that we care for them and that there are opportunities that await them. However, at the very point they setout on that journey toward adulthood we stand there watching them disapprovingly, just waiting for them to make a mistake, “just like we knew they would.” We tell them to respect themselves and to say no to drugs, yet we fail to set a positive example by treating them with kindness and consideration, demonstrating our respect for them.I have, at times, been guilty of this behavior but am now realizing that the more I seeeach person as a person, the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For example, a few weeks ago my husband and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant and two teenage boys came in and sat down right beside us. I must admit that my first thought was, “Perfect, there goes our quiet, peaceful dinner.” I was so wrong! These young men were well behaved, quiet, and left a nice tip for the waitress. Once I looked beyond the jeans so loose they were practically falling off and the multi-colored hair, I saw what fine people these kids were.Many of the people who, perhaps unknowingly, treat teens with disrespect are unhappyabout the fact that pop singers and sports stars are our children’s heroes. I feel that unless wegive them something better to go after, we really shouldn’t complain.41. When their children reach their teens, parents usually expect ______.A. troubleB. sympathyC. congratulationsD. inspiring comments42. In the author’s opinion, the trouble with parents is that ______.A. they are too watchful of their teenage childrenB. they are too concerned about their children’s futureC. they fail to treat teenagers with sufficient kindness and respectD. they speak ill of their children within their hearing43. When two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her first thought was ______.A. her quiet dinner with her husband would be ruinedB. something interesting was going to happen over dinnerC. they were wrong to have chosen this restaurant for dinnerD. she and her husband were going to have a pleasant surprise44. What does the author think of the two teenage boys?A. They are typical of teenagers who wear ill-fitting clothes and dye their hair.B. They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle.C. They are fine young men despite their loose jeans and multi-colored hair.D. They will respect you if you respect them.45. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. There is nothing wrong with teenagers admiring pop singers and sport stars.B. Pop singers and sport stars should not be heroes of our children.C. If our children admire pop singers and sports stars, it is the parents who are to blame.D. Parents should set a good example for their children to follow.Passage TwoMore and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financialinstitutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what thecomputer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to notehow many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not becharged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result ifthe public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (篡改) the most confidential (保密) records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.46. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB. people commit computer crimes at the request of their companyC. computer criminals escape punishment be cause they can’t be detectedD. computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions47. It is implied in the third paragraph that ______.A. most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luckB. the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC. most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD. many more computer crimes, which are discovered, go undetected48. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?A. A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B. Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes to protect their reputation.C. Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.D. Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.49. What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A. With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B. They may walk away and easily find another job.C. They will be denied access to confidential records.D. They must leave the country to go to jail.50. The passage is mainly about ______.A. why computer criminals are often able to escape punishmentB. why computer crimes are difficult to be detected by systematic inspectionsC. how computer criminals mange to get good recommendations from their former employersD. why computer crimes can’t be eliminatedPassage ThreeAnother cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about: space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surrounding his physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumps onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a person’s “comfort zone”depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other “at arm’s length”, people in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch each other often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while in conversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away.When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. To Americans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement or disgust, shock or sadness. People with a “poker face”, whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate their attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely and maintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesn’t look you in the eye, American might say, you should question his motives—or assume that he doesn’t like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still consider staring—especially at strangers—to be rude.51. What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about______.A. classification of nonverbal communicationB. the reasons why people should think about spaceC. the relationship between communication and spaceD. some other cultural aspects of nonverbal communication[ 52. How far people keep to each other while talking is closely associated with their______.A. cultural originB. habitsC. customD. nationality53.

In a conversation between friends, Americans regard it as sincere and truthful to______.A. maintain direct eye contactB. hide emotions with a deadpan expressionC. display excitement or disgust, shock or sadnessD. raise their eyebrows, nod and smile politelyPassage FourAfter the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report; the damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse. More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25, 000 victims. Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图的) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place. In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, which bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact ofground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computerwould force the building to shift in the opposite direction. The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.56. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively lowis that______.A. new computers had been installed in the buildingsB. it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC. large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD. improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways57. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ______.A. counter-balance an earthquake’s action on the buildingB. predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC. help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD. measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations58. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ______.A. would cause serious financial problemsB. would be worthwhile though costlyC. would increase the complexity of architectural designD. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes59. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakesattention should be focused on ______.A. the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB. the development of flexible building materialsC. the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD. early forecasts of earthquakes60. The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to______.A. compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U. S.B. encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC. outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD. report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildingPart III Cloze (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

2008高考英语作文

2008高考英语作文It was a day I will never forget. I woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window, the sun shining through the curtains, and the smell of breakfast cooking in the kitchen. It was the perfect start to what would turn out to be an unforgettable day.As I walked to school that morning, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement in the air. It was the day of the big football game, and everyone was talking about it. The whole school seemed to be buzzing with anticipation, and I couldn't wait to see how it would all unfold.The game itself was a rollercoaster of emotions. The teams were evenly matched, and the score kept going back and forth. One minute we were cheering for our team as they scored a touchdown, and the next we were holding our breath as the other team came back with a vengeance. It was intense, it was exhilarating, and it was everything I had hoped for.In the end, our team emerged victorious, and the celebration that followed was nothing short of epic. The whole school poured out onto the field, cheering and chanting and hugging each other in sheer joy. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated happiness, and I felt luckyto be a part of it.As I walked home that evening, still buzzing with excitement, I couldn't help but reflect on the day's events. It had been a day filled with ups and downs, with momentsof tension and moments of pure elation. It was a day that reminded me of the power of sports to bring people together, to create a sense of community and camaraderie that istruly special.Looking back, I realized that it wasn't just about the game itself, but about the shared experience of being partof something bigger than ourselves. It was about the friendships formed, the memories made, and the sense of belonging that comes from being part of a team, whether on the field or in the stands.In the end, it was a day that I will always look back on with a smile, a day that taught me the true meaning of sportsmanship, teamwork, and the joy of coming together as a community. And for that, I will always be grateful.。
