It is very important to learn English well both for those who take part in some important examinations and those who are ready to take part in the workB:Yes!But it's not just English, it's important for us to learn a foreign language well. A: You are right. Some people are interested in learning a foreign language, but others are not.B: You’re right.

So, we need to think about the theme of our tours first…A: Exactly. But to decide on the theme, we need to consider what is characteristic of our town. For example, the metal ware, the eco-agriculture… I think we can organize a tour of the eco-agriculture in the countryside.B: Emmm… I’m not sure that I agree. We need to think of something special, which can distinguish our tours from that of other companies. Why don’t we take advantage of the rock carvings? Our town is dotted with various rock carvings.A: That’s a good idea. We could have our tour guides trained in this field so as to better help promote the art of rock carvings.

Nice day today. How are you doing recently?B:Fine.I am doing a questionnaire about examination recently. So I am thinking about this.Do you have some your own opinion?A:Oh, in fact, I hate examination. I think exams are a waste of time. Many college students don’t study hard throughout the semester, but they can get high scores if they spend a few days studying before the exams. Exams do not show whether students have learned what they have been taught.B:I partially agree with you. To me, exams have weaknesses, but they are the best way to evaluate us. I think school should work to improve the quality of exams.A:You are right. I'm not totally exclusive of examinations. In my opinion, exams are important, but the process of studying hard is more important. They are valuable just for those who study hard.B:I agree with you. Now some students pay more attention to the results of exams. For the problems of calculating scores and making mistakes, they only think about the possible influence on scores, instead of thinking about why they made mistakes and what types of questions they did wrong.A:Right.If we study only for the sake of an exam, the exam will lose its value.B:Thank you for your opinion. It’s really helpful to my questionnaire.A: You are welcome.10、Situation Ten A tour of Huaqiao UniversityA You’ve just made friends with an international student in your department. He / She is new to Huaqiao University, and you offer to take him / her on a tour of the campus. You can plan your tour by using the following outline:●Introduce two of four places important for daily needs●Give at least one fact about each place●Comment on some of the places you show your friendB Ask questions on the tour.A: Welcome to HuaQiao University to have a four-years life. Let me show you our campus to let you familiar with the environment.B: Thank you a lot. I’m really looking forward to my life here.A: Aha, you will love fall in love with here. So let me show you our dormitories first. We usually have 4 or 5 people in a room. The dormitory has air conditioning, independent toilet and balcony. The best dorms have lifts to get students up and down. B: Woooo that’s really great. I especially like this kind of warmth. Is everyone could live in the best dorms?A: Unfortunately, no. Every major has a quota, so you can only live in if you get one. B: Oh, then I must get this quota, because I think living comfortable is very important. A: Yes, you are fight.B: I have heard that our canteen was very nice.A: Wow, every time speaking of our canteen, I feel hungry. There are three big canteens in our school. There are lots of delicious food every day. Here, you can also eat a lot of hometown food, all over the country. It is said to be very intimate.B: Wow, sounds great. But it seems that I will put on weight if I fall in love with them. You know, delicious food always let a people have wonderful feeling to embrace his life. …. Oh, and… Are there anything else in our school can be focused on?A: You have asked the right person. I love our library and playground. You know, university is a place that is used to improve oneself, about both study and health.B: Of course. So I hope that these two places can be my favorite places too. Thanks foryour introduction, I know more about our school now.A: You are welcome. Hope you can enjoy your life in this beautiful place. And, it’s lunch time, why don’t we go our canteen to have a lunch?B: That’s a great idea!。

反方一辩论

反方一辩论

反方一辩论英文回答:Good morning, esteemed judges and fellow debaters. I stand before you today to argue the negative side of the resolution that "the internet has had a predominantly negative impact on society." While the internet has undoubtedly brought about some challenges, I believe that its overall benefits far outweigh its drawbacks.One of the primary concerns raised by opponents of the internet is that it has eroded face-to-face communication. However, while it is true that people may spend more time interacting online than in person, this does not necessarily mean that they are losing their social skills. In fact, the internet can be a valuable tool for maintaining and strengthening social connections,especially for those who live far apart or have difficulty leaving their homes. For example, social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram allow us to stay connected withfriends and family, share updates, and even participate in video calls.Another common criticism of the internet is that it has led to an increase in cyberbullying and online harassment. While this is certainly a serious problem, it is importantto note that cyberbullying existed long before the internet, and it is by no means limited to online interactions. In fact, the internet can actually be used to combat cyberbullying and provide support to victims. By providing resources and platforms for reporting harassment, the internet can make it easier for victims to speak out and seek help.Some people also argue that the internet hascontributed to a decline in attention spans and critical thinking skills. While it is true that the internet can bea source of distractions, it can also be a powerful toolfor learning and research. By providing access to a vast wealth of information, the internet can help us to expand our knowledge, develop new skills, and become more informed citizens. Additionally, the internet can be used to engagein critical thinking exercises, such as online quizzes and discussion forums.Finally, some opponents of the internet claim that it has led to a decline in privacy and security. While it is true that the internet has made it easier for companies to collect and share our personal data, we have also gained a greater awareness of our privacy rights and the importance of data protection. By taking steps to protect our privacy online, such as using strong passwords and being mindful of what information we share, we can mitigate these risks and enjoy the benefits of the internet without compromising our security.In conclusion, while the internet is not without its challenges, I believe that its overall benefits far outweigh its drawbacks. The internet has revolutionized the way we communicate, learn, work, and socialize. By embracing the opportunities that the internet offers and taking steps to address its potential risks, we can harness its power to create a better future for ourselves and for generations to come.中文回答:尊敬的评委、辩友们,大家好!今天,我站在这里反对“互联网对社会产生了主要是负面影响”这一议题。

英语辩论赛

英语辩论赛

英语辩论赛第一篇:英语辩论赛英语辩论赛话题:当代社会男人压力大还是女人压力大正方一辩:我方观点是当今社会男人的压力比女人的压力大。

在当今社会事实是男人承受的压力远大于女人的压力,不仅从社会角度,从工作角度,从家庭角度都对男人有更多的要求,男人被要求能够很好的处理社会交际,能够出色的工作,能够赚取更多的钱,能够很好的照顾家庭和孩子。

因此,在当代社会,男人承受了比女人更多的心理压力。

Our view is that the pressure of men is more than women in today's society.The fact is that the men’s p ressure is far greater than women, not only from a social point of view, from the working point of view, from the families point of view , the society has more demands on men, men are required to have good social communication, excellent work, to earn more money, to take care of their families.Therefore, in contemporary society, men suffer more psychological pressure than women.反方一辩:我方的观点是当今社会女人的压力比男人压力大,随着社会的发展,女人在社会中的角色发生了重大变化,原来的女人只需要在家相夫教子就行,但是那个年代早已一去不复返了。

女人在当今社会不仅要照顾家庭,而且自身也承担着社会中巨大的工作压力,因此,我方坚持认为在当今社会,女人承受了更大的压力。

英语辩论口语考试辩题:社交媒体对人际关系的影响第一篇:近年来,社交媒体的兴起给人们的生活带来了巨大的变革。

然而,社交媒体对人际关系的影响也备受争议。

本文将从正面和负面两个方面探讨社交媒体对人际关系的影响。

首先,社交媒体为人们提供了更强的联络和交流渠道。

传统的沟通方式限制了人们的交际范围,而社交媒体则打破了这种限制。

通过社交媒体,人们可以与世界各地的朋友、亲人和同事保持联系,并且可以随时了解对方的生活动态。

这种即时沟通的便利性有助于增进人际关系,促进不同群体之间的交流和理解。

其次,社交媒体极大地拓宽了人们获取信息的渠道。

通过社交媒体,人们可以快速浏览新闻、博客、研究论文等等,获取多样化的知识和观点。

这使得人们在交流时更有内容可供建立对话和互动,从而提升人际关系的质量。

然而,社交媒体也带来了一些负面影响。

首先,社交媒体可能导致人与人之间的距离感加大。

虽然社交媒体提供了联系和交流的机会,但是这种联系往往是虚拟的,无法完全代替面对面的交流。

人们在社交媒体上的互动可能仅限于点赞、评论等简单形式,难以建立真正的深入交流,这可能导致人际关系的淡化。

此外,社交媒体也容易导致人们的注意力分散。

社交媒体上的大量信息和娱乐内容常常让人们沉迷其中,从而忽视了与身边人的交流。

这种情况下,人际关系会变得淡薄,亲密度会降低。

综上所述,社交媒体对人际关系的影响是多方面的。

无疑,社交媒体为人们的交流提供了新的便利和机遇。

然而,过度依赖社交媒体也可能导致人与人之间的疏离和沟通不畅。

因此,我们应当在使用社交媒体时保持适度,注重与身边人的真实交流,才能更好地维系和提升人际关系。

第二篇:社交媒体对人际关系的影响社交媒体作为一种新型社交平台,对人际关系产生了深远的影响。

然而,这种影响既有正面的一面,也存在一些负面的因素。

本文将从促进交流、破除地理障碍和提供更多社交机会三个方面进行探讨。

首先,社交媒体促进了人与人之间的交流。

通过社交媒体平台,人们可以轻松地与他人分享自己的生活、想法和情感。

(阅读短文,选择正确答案)Kite flying is the sport of sending up into the air, by means of the wind, a第2页共12页light frame covered with paper, plastic or cloth. The frame can be one of many different shapes and is attached to a long string held in the hand or wound on a drum. Kites have a long history of practical application and many different types of kite have been developed to serve various purposes.The ancient Chinese used bird-kites to carry ropes across rivers and valleys. The current folding kite which will dive excitingly is an improved type of such a kite. With its long flat body and single pair of bird-like wings, it looks just like a large bird in the air. The modern version is usually made of tissue-paper rather than the traditional silk.Man-lifting kites were developed in ancient times, again by the Chinese, for getting information from walled cities and army camps. In fact, as recently as world 2 , German U-boats flew kites from their towers to lift people into the air to watch the land. These kites, which are no longer in existence, were made of light-weight cloth. They were much larger and stronger than the Chinese ones. Their design, however, was simply that of the cutter kite. Smaller in size, this type of kite is still very popular as a toy for children, being easy to make with a diamond-shaped frame, no wings and brown-paper covering.Box-kites are another type of kite found in toy shops today. The first box-kite, named for its box-like body, was developed in the nineteenth century to test theories of flight and this type of cotton-covered kite greatly assisted the success of early airplane. These kites are the ancestors of a heavier version of the box-kite, which consists of two main sections, placed side by side. Developed for the peacetime purpose of fishing in strong sea wind, it is the only modern kite described which has practical value. A long-lasting plastic material has to be used for this kite, which carries fishing lines.21. The ancient Chinese bird-kites were usually made of light frames covered with_____.A. silkB. paperC. clothD. plastic22.The kites used by German U-boats in World War 2 for the military purpose were made of _____.A. brown paperB. plastic materialC. light-weight clothD. traditional silk23.The ancient Chinese man-lifting kites were used_____.A. to carry ropes across rivers and valleysB. for the military purposeC. as toy for childrenD. for fishing in strong sea wind24.Which of the following statements is not true?A. The frame of a kite is attached to long string held in the hand or wound on drum.B. The ancestor of the double box-kite.C. The cutter kite has a diamond-shaped body but no wings.D. The current folding kite is developed to test theories of flight.25. The best title for this passage may be______.A. The ancestors of modern kitesB. The history of the Chinese kitesC. different types and uses of kitesD. the different between ancient and modern kites.Task 2 (2'×5=10')Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 26 through 30.(阅读短文,选择正确答案)Personality is, to large extent, inherent --A-type parents usually bring about第3页共12页第4页共12页A-type offspring. But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents; it is likely to become a major factor in the lives of their children.One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the "win at all costs" moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying:"Rejoice, we conquer!"By far the worst form of competition in school is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all. A youngster changes into 'B's. They would needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fita child's personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.26. According to the author, what factors contribute to the building of personality?A. inheritanceB. inheritance, competition and environmentC. competitionD. environment27.Which of the following statements is not true according to the author of the passage?A. Schools usually adopt severe competitive policies.B. Students are often divided by competition results.C. School is place where children cultivate their characteristics.D. The stronger desire for winning, the better.28. The phrase "soak up" is closest in meaning to ____.A. pull upB. take upC. take inD. pull in29.What attitude does the author hold toward examinations in schools?A. positiveB. negativeC. doubtfulD. neutral30.what suggestion does the author make concerning the management of schools?A. All students be made into competitive A types.B.A child's personality be considered in regard to his possible future job.C. All students be changed into B characteristics.D. Schools abolish all forms of examinations.Task 3 (2'×5=10')Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 31 through 35.(阅读短文,选择正确答案)Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as第5页共12页第6页共12页there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a 'team game'. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no 'matches' between 'teams' of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and their certainly experience equal enjoyment.31. Mountaineering involves____.A. coldB. hardshipC. physical riskD. all of the above32.The difference between a sport and a game has to do with the kind of _____.A. activityB. rulesC. uniformD. participants33.Mountaineering can be called a team sport because_____. A. it is an Olympic eventB. teams compete against each otherC. mountaineers depend on other while climbingD. there are 5 climbers on each team34.Mountaineers compete against______.A. natureB. each otherC. other teamsD. international standards35.Choose the best title for the passage_______.A. mountaineering is different from golf and footballB. mountaineering is more attractive than other sportsC. mountaineeringD. mountain climbersPart IV: Translation 5'×6=30'Directions: This part is to test your ability to translate English/Chinese into Chinese/English. You are required to write down the Chinese/English versions according to the English/Chinese sentences numbered 36 to 41. Remember to write it on the Translation / Composition Sheet(翻译:36---41题。

We inter‎p ret the Resol‎u tion‎to‎mean‎“readi‎n g e-books‎or onlin‎e is bette‎r than readi‎n g tradi‎t iona‎l books‎.”‎Now‎I’m‎going‎to addre‎s s our argum‎e nts, which‎consi‎s t of four parts‎.For the first‎part, I’d‎like‎to‎demon‎s trat‎e our argum‎e nt from the conve‎n ienc‎e of the Arthu‎r and reade‎r. From the autho‎r’s‎viewp‎o int, compa‎r ed to print‎e d publi‎s hing‎, it is cheap‎e r and easie‎r for autho‎r s to self-publi‎s h e-books‎. He can revis‎e his elect‎r onic‎books‎whene‎v er he wants‎. In contr‎a st, if he works‎with a tradi‎t iona‎l publi‎s her, the publi‎s her, not he, decid‎e s wheth‎e r and when a revis‎e d versi‎o n of his book. On the other‎hand, when the autho‎r needs‎to updat‎e certa‎i n parts‎of the e-book, he simpl‎y edits‎the elect‎r onic‎docum‎e nt, saves‎the updat‎e d versi‎o n, and then infor‎m s custo‎m ers about‎the new relea‎s e. It is very low updat‎e cost. If the autho‎r adopt‎s the tradi‎t iona‎l way to publi‎s h the book, the publi‎s her will proba‎b ly have to make a minim‎u mprodu‎c tion‎run of 1000 copie‎s. This takes‎time and money‎. From the reade‎r s’viewp‎o int, It is possi‎b le to purch‎a se an ebook‎24 hours‎a day, every‎day of the year, from the comfo‎r t of your own house‎or offic‎e. You can purch‎a se and downl‎o ad an ebook‎, even if you are on a vacat‎i on. It saves‎us from going‎to a shop, purch‎a sing‎a book or wasti‎n g time on home deliv‎e ry. Overa‎l l, this is a time consu‎m ing proce‎s s. And since‎time is a very impor‎t ant facto‎r in today‎`s world‎, E-books‎provi‎d e insta‎n t solut‎i on to our quest‎i ons. And you can read ebook‎s anywh‎e re, on the bus, train‎,airpl‎a ne and while‎stand‎i ng in line. Moreo‎v er, Ebook‎s take up less space‎. Youpract‎i call‎y don't need any space‎to store‎them. You don't need a libra‎r y or a room for them. You can store‎hundr‎e ds and thous‎a nds of ebook‎s in your compu‎t er. You can carry‎a whole‎libra‎r y of hundr‎e ds of books‎with you, on CD, in a lapto‎p, noteb‎o ok or any ebook‎reade‎r, witho‎u t worry‎i ng about‎their‎weigh‎t. In addit‎i on, A numbe‎r of ebook‎s sport‎a Searc‎h butto‎n, which‎allow‎s you to quick‎l y jump to the pageconta‎i ning‎the word you're inter‎e sted‎in. That funct‎i on canno‎t be achie‎v e in tradi‎t iona‎l books‎.For the secon‎d part, I’d‎like‎to‎empha‎s es the envir‎o nmen‎t funct‎i on of e-books‎.E-book is envir‎o nmen‎t al-frien‎d ly indus‎t ry. The produ‎c tion‎of e-books‎does not consu‎m e paper‎, ink, etc. It can prote‎c t fores‎t s from destr‎o ying‎. Accor‎d ing to thestati‎s tics‎from weekl‎y news for moder‎n citiz‎e n , Every‎ton of paper‎produ‎c ed in China‎will spend‎7 trees‎and 100 cubic‎meter‎s of water‎. Savin‎g every‎5000 A4 paper‎is equiv‎a lent‎to savin‎g 1 cubic‎meter‎of wood. If the count‎r y save a piece‎of paper‎per perso‎n per day, we can save 474 500 000 000 sheet‎s of paper‎a year. Thus we can prote‎c t 1,581,666 trees‎per year. It is a very meani‎n gful‎actio‎n for us to do.For the third‎part, I’d‎like‎to‎talk‎about‎the money‎and time. For the autho‎r s, as e-books‎are deliv‎e red throu‎g h the Inter‎n et, there‎are no packi‎n g and shipp‎i ngexpen‎s es. And autho‎r s‎don’t‎need‎to‎print‎thous‎a nds of the books‎to wait for the buyer‎s. E-books‎can save money‎for them. As for the consu‎m ers, an e-book costs‎much cheap‎e r than one book. Moreo‎v er, a great‎share‎of books‎are avail‎a ble free of charg‎e.For the fourt‎h part, I’d‎like‎to‎pay‎atten‎t ion to the uniqu‎e funct‎i on of e-books‎. Unlik‎e your usual‎print‎e d books‎, e-books‎can conta‎i n not only text and image‎s, but also audio‎and even video‎. This way, if the reade‎r isn't the type of perso‎n who likes‎to read parag‎r aphs‎of text, he or she can choos‎e to liste‎n to the audio‎versi‎o n. Somee-books‎even have flash‎appli‎c atio‎n s that allow‎the reade‎r to "inter‎a ct" with the conte‎n ts. This is usefu‎l for kines‎t heti‎c learn‎e rs.Above‎all, the affir‎m ativ‎e side belie‎v es that the negat‎i ve side debat‎e rs find most of the infor‎m atio‎n from the Inter‎n et. We all feel that the e-books‎are power‎f ul and conve‎n ient‎. From above‎four aspec‎t s, we firml‎y belie‎v e that readi‎n g e-books‎or onlin‎e is bette‎r than readi‎n g tradi‎t iona‎l books‎.Thank‎you!。

英语辩论——正方一辩

Resolved, the resolution is “reading e-books or online is better than reading traditional books.”Honorable judges and distinguished classmates,I am great honored to be the first speaker of the Affirmative Side. We interpret the Resolution to mean “reading e-books or online is better than reading traditional books.” Now I’m going to address o ur arguments, which consist of four parts.For the first part, I’d like to demonstrate our argument from the convenience of the Arthur and reader. From the auth or’s viewpoint, compared to printed publishing, it is cheaper and easier for authors to self-publish e-books. He can revise his electronic books whenever he wants. In contrast, if he works with a traditional publisher, the publisher, not he, decides whether and when a revised version of his book. On the other hand, when the author needs to update certain parts of the e-book, he simply edits the electronic document, saves the updated version, and then informs customers about the new release. It is very low update cost. If the author adopts the traditional way to publish the book, the publisher will probably have to make a minimum production run of 1000 copies. This takes time and money. From the readers’viewpoint, It is possible to purchase an ebook 24 hours a day, every day of the year, from the comfort of your own house or office. You can purchase and download an ebook, even if you are on a vacation. It saves us from going to a shop, purchasing a book or wasting time on home delivery. Overall, this is a time consuming process. And since time is a very important factor in today`s world, E-books provide instant solution to our questions. And you can read ebooks anywhere, on the bus, train, airplane and while standing in line. Moreover, Ebooks take up less space. You practically don't need any space to store them. You don't need a library or a room for them. You can store hundreds and thousands of ebooks in your computer. You can carry a whole library of hundreds of books with you, on CD, in a laptop, notebook or any ebook reader, without worrying about their weight. In addition, A number of ebooks sport a Search button, which allows you to quickly jump to the page containing the word you're interested in. That function cannot be achieve in traditional books.For the second part, I’d like to emphases the environment function of e-books.E-book is environmental-friendly industry. The production of e-books does not consume paper, ink, etc. It can protect forests from destroying. According to the statistics from weekly news for modern citizen , Every ton of paper produced in China will spend 7 trees and 100 cubic meters of water. Saving every 5000 A4 paper is equivalent to saving 1 cubic meter of wood. If the country save a piece of paper per person per day, we can save 474 500 000 000 sheets of paper a year. Thus we can protect 1,581,666 trees per year. It is a very meaningful action for us to do.For the third part, I’d like to talk about the money and time. For the authors, ase-books are delivered through the Internet, there are no packing and shipping expenses. And authors don’t need to print thousands of the books to wait for the buyers. E-books can save money for them. As for the consumers, an e-book costs much cheaper than one book. Moreover, a great share of books are available free of charge.For the fourth part, I’d like to pay attention to the unique function of e-books. Unlike your usual printed books, e-books can contain not only text and images, but also audio and even video. This way, if the reader isn't the type of person who likes to read paragraphs of text, he or she can choose to listen to the audio version. Somee-books even have flash applications that allow the reader to "interact" with the contents. This is useful for kinesthetic learners.Above all, the affirmative side believes that the negative side debaters find most of the information from the Internet. We all feel that the e-books are powerful and convenient. From above four aspects, we firmly believe that reading e-books or online is better than reading traditional books.Thank you!。

The Chinese New Year festival lasts several days. The ancient Germans established a New Year festival because of the changing seasons. The German winter began at the middle of November. This was the time when they gathered the harvest, because everybody came together at this time for the happy occasion, and because it meant they would have a period of rest from work afterwards. They would make merry and have a great holiday. Even though it was November, they considered it the beginning of the New Year! When the Romans conquered (⼊侵) Europe, they changed this time of celebration to the first of January.From then on the coming of the New Year was a symbol of a new life with new hope for the future.

You'll see them chatting to lecturers after a lecture is finished. They usually look serious and carry big bags of books.The party girl is easily recognized by her fashionable clothes and the fact that at every party you go to she's surrounded by friends.Then there's the "techy", a student who knows everything about computers and technology. They can be found at most times of the day playing with a computer.51.There is a student who work extremely hard and often chat to lecturers after a lecture is finished.What kind of student is he/she?_________________________________________________.The "organizer" is another type that's very recognizable.

(5 points)Passage 1I don't know how many good teachers there are in the world, but I feel it is deeply important for a student who is in trouble to meet a good teacher.I had a maths teacher who hates to see struggling maths students. He always ridicules the slow students when he gets a chance. For example, the teacher looks down upon a student due to her failure in maths. It's not that this student is stupid but rather she has no interest in maths. The maths teacher always gives the girl the cold shoulder and says this girl is the stupidest student he has ever seen. One time this student got the lowest score on a maths exam, the teacher made fun of her and then students guessed who had the worst score. When that student had some questions to ask the teacher, he was第9 页共14 页impatient with her. Finally, the girl said to me that paradise is very far from her. Everyday she feels Eden, but there is no way to reach it. She feels that she is a tiny lantern which is placed into the water and will slowly drift out to sea until it can't be seen. What a lonely vision that is!All students have different abilities because each of them is unique. No one can foretell his future. The teacher should learn how to treat the slower students properly, how to encourage them and not to hurt their feelings. Please leave a bit of love for these special students."It is not how much we do but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving," said Mother Terasa. After all, love can creates power.66. In this article, the writer thinks that when a student is in trouble, it is very important that the student shoulddo his best to turn to some teachers.67. The underlined word "ridicule" in the second paragraph means laugh at.68. The girl fails in every maths exam because she is tired of the maths teacher.69. What the girl tells the writer shows the girl is mentally suffering.70. The writer attacks the maths teacher strongly, but he asks all people to collect money to support thespecial students.XI. Translation from English to ChineseDirections: Translate the following sentences into Chinese. (6 points)71. The computer is one of the most significant inventions in the twentieth century.72. That book is the best among modern novels.73. Several well-known researchers have been signed up for the project.74. On the other hand, females do better on tests measuring vocabulary, spelling, and memory.75.

各位观众,对方辩友,大家好。

我方的观点是网络对于大学生利大于弊。

随着经济的发展和信息时代的到来,我们的生活发生了翻天覆地的变化,这就要求我们大学生应该掌握更多更新的多方面信息,要求我们大学生从众多角度来分析问题,那么我们大学生获得信息的渠道应该是什么呢?对了,就是网络。

网络的优点有以下几个方面。

首先,网络可以给我们大学生提供更为广阔的学习空间和学习资源。

大学生可以通过网络进行英语四、六级的学习和计算机等级考试的学习等等,而且在大学里同学们在学习上搞不懂的问题很多都可以在网络上经过探讨获得一个比较令人满意的答案。

除此之外,大学生也可以登陆众多学校的网站,与其他学校的老师和学生交流学习体会,使得自己的知识更加的完善和全面。

其次,大学生今后要从事的行业的动态信息对于大学生也是十分重要的,那么这些信息的来源的途径之一就是网络,而且网络的速度快,更新快,可以使大学生对自己专业的动态信息了如指掌,这就使大学生今后的就业既有方向性,又有目的性,使大学生对自己所学习的专业的要求有更加深刻的了解与认识,让他们的学习不再盲目,让他们的就业更加顺利。

总而言之,网络是大学生所必需的,也是必要的,网络对于大学生利大于弊。

谢谢大家!反方一辩:谢谢主席,大家好。

首先非常感谢对方辩友的精彩陈词,但是,在这里,我要指出一点,无论是学习还是专业动态的查找,网络都不是唯一的途径,也未必是最好的途径,希望各位对于以上问题要三思而后行啊。

下面,阐述我方观点,网络对于大学生弊大于利。

网络的发展促进了社会的进步是一个不可辩驳的事实,但是,我们不能只看到事物的一个方面,我们应该坚持两分法,学会全面的看待和分析问题,所以,我们也要看到网络的弊端还是相当之多的。

第一,网络使得大学生消沉。

由于网络资源的共享性,使得无论是否适合于大学生的信息都不得不被其所接受,而这里面就包含着相当的色情和暴力方面的信息,那么试想大学生如果被这样的信息所教唆的话,后果将是不堪设想的。

英文辩论赛辩题英文回答:As a debater, I believe that the use of social mediahas more positive effects than negative effects on society. Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives, and it has revolutionized the way we communicate, connect, and share information. 。

Firstly, social media allows us to stay connected with friends and family, even if they are thousands of miles away. For example, I have a friend who moved to another country for work, and thanks to social media, we are ableto stay in touch and share our life experiences with each other. This has helped us maintain our friendship despite the distance.Secondly, social media provides a platform for peopleto express themselves and share their ideas. It has given a voice to marginalized groups and has been instrumental inraising awareness about important social issues. For instance, the #MeToo movement gained momentum on social media, empowering survivors of sexual harassment and assault to speak out and seek justice.Furthermore, social media has also facilitated the spread of information and knowledge. During the COVID-19 pandemic, social media played a crucial role in disseminating important health guidelines and updates. It also allowed for the sharing of personal experiences and coping strategies, providing support to those who were struggling during the lockdown.In addition, social media has created new opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs. Many small businesses have been able to reach a wider audience and grow their customer base through social media marketing. For example, a local bakery in my neighborhood has successfully expanded its customer reach by promoting its products on social media platforms.Lastly, social media has enabled us to stay informedabout global events and connect with people from diverse backgrounds. It has broadened our perspectives and allowed us to engage in meaningful discussions with individualsfrom different cultures and countries.中文回答:作为一名辩手,我相信社交媒体对社会的积极影响要大于消极影响。

(30) _____________________________________________________________________________.Part II Reading Comprehension (15 points)Directions: There are several passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1It is often claimed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do without. We live in a consumer society where there is an enormous demand for commercial products of all kinds. Moreover, an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment. Such an increase presumes an abundant and cheap energy supply. Many people believe that nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and economical source of power and that it is therefore essential for an industrially developing society. There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy. Firstly, nuclear power, except for accidents, is clean. A further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and administrative staff. The nuclear reactor represents an enormous step in our scientific evolution and, whatever the anti-nuclear group says, it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel. However, opponents of nuclear energy point out that nuclear power stations bring a direct threat not only to the environment but also to civil liberties.Furthermore, it is questionable whether ultimately nuclear power is a cheap source of energy. There have, for example, been very costly accidents in America, in Britain and, of course, in Russia. The possibility of increases in the cost of uranium (铀) in addition to the cost of greater safety provisions could price nuclear power out of the market. In the long run, environmentalists argue, nuclear energy wastes valuable resources and disturbs the ecology to an extent which could bring about the destruction of the human race. Thus, if we wish to survive, we cannot afford nuclear energy. In spite of the case against nuclear energy outlined above, nuclear energy programs are expanding. Such an expansion assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands. However, it is doubtful whether this growth will or can continue. Having weighed up the arguments on both sides, it seems there are good economic and ecological reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power.31. The advocates of nuclear energy claim that nuclear energy is _________________.1.extremely dangerous2.vital in our societyC.exhaustible and expensiveD.primitive and cheap32. Some people think that nuclear energy is essential because _________________.1.there is a serious shortage of manpower2.it provides a perfect solution to mass unemploymentC.it is impossible to return to more primitive sources of fuelD.it can meet the growing demand of an industrially developing society33. Which of the following statements does the writer support?1.The demand for commercial products will not necessarily keep increasing.2.Uranium is a good source of energy for economic and ecological reasons.C.Nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and economical source of power.D.Greater safety provisions can bring about the expansion of nuclear energy programs.34. The function of the last sentence is to ______________.1.reflect the writer's attitude2.advance the final argumentC.reverse previously expressed thoughtsD.show the disadvantages of nuclear power35. What is the writer's attitude toward nuclear energy?1.Indifferent.2.Favorable.C.Tolerant.D.Critical.E.Passage 2The American Friends Service Committee is a practical expression of the faith of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Committed to the principles of nonviolence and justice, it seeks in its work and witness to draw on the transforming power of love.This AFSC community works to transform conditions and relationships both in the world and in ourselves, which threaten to overwhelm what is precious in human beings. We hold to the faith that conflicts can be resolved nonviolently, that bad feelings can be transformed into friendship, anger into cooperation, poverty into well-being, and injustice into dignity and participation. We believe that ultimately goodness can prevail over evil, and cruelty in all its many forms can give way.We seek to understand and address the root causes of poverty, injustice, and war. We hope to act with courage and vision in taking actions that may not be popular.We are called to confront, nonviolently, powerful institutions of violence, evil, and injustice.Such actions may engage us in creative tension in the process of basic change. We seek opportunities to help bring together enemies and to facilitate a peaceful and just resolution of conflict.We work to relieve and prevent suffering through both immediate aid and long-term development and seek to serve the needs of people on all sides of violent confrontation.We ground our work at the community level both at home and abroad in partnership with those who suffer the conditions we seek to change and informed by their strength and vision.We work with all people, the poor and the materially comfortable, the weak and the powerful in pursuit of justice.

The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, sea waves, and other phenomena resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quakes themselves.The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area encompasses (包围) Pacific Ocean and its contiguous land masses. The other extends from the East Indies to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and the Alpine regions. It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time.This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake prediction may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earth's crust, variations in the force of gravity and the earth's magnetic field, and the frequency with which minor earth tremors are observed, scientists have shown increasing success in anticipating when and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus lessen) the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected.It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and eliminate their destructiveness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their potential devastation before it occurs.41. According to the passage, which of the following is true?1.Earthquakes are highly feared, but actually relatively harmless.2.There is absolutely no way to predict when or where earthquakes might occur.C.Man is now able to predict when earthquakes will happen, but not where.D.The greater part of damage is actually not caused by the quakes themselves.42. The italicized word “contiguous”in paragraph 2 most probably means _______________.1.neighboring2.exteriorC.insideD.detached43. What has added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes?1.The written records of earthquakes.2.The two great earthquake zones.C.The great destructive power earthquakes have.D.The fact that earthquakes can happen anywhere at any time.44. By analyzing the changes that take place before an earthquake, scientists ___________.1.can now control earthquakes2.have achieved increasing success in earthquake predictionC.can now predict earthquakes with great accuracyD.are now able to eliminate the destructiveness of earthquakes45. The author’s attitude toward the possibility of earthquake prediction is ___________.1.doubtful2.concernedC.confidentD.pessimisticE.PartⅢ Vocabulary and Structure (10 points)Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.
