Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.First. Let‟s talk about culture. The difference between th e mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting” influence. People no longer need to m ake firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arrang ed on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8”, but “text me around 8 and we’ll see where we all are”.Texting changes people as well. In their paper, “insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging”, two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”-those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text to voice.They found that the mobile phone‟s individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to expre ss a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And ther e is the “spacemaker”: these people focus onthemselves and keep out other people.Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people‟s privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But pe rhaps you needn‟t worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.81 when people plan to meet nowadays, theyA: arrange the meeting place beforehandB. postpone fixing the place till last minuteC: seldom care about when and where to meetD: still love to work out detailed meeting plans.82 According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effect are mostly likely to be seen onA: TALKERSB; the "speakeasy"c. the “spacemaker”D. texters83 We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters areA: quite revealingB: well writtenc: unacceptable by othersd; shocking to others84 according to the passage ,who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobilea: talkersb: the speakeasyc :the spacemakerd: texters85 an appropriate title for the passage might beA: the SMS effectb: cultural implication of mobile usec: change in the use of the mobiled: body language and the mobile phone!TEXT BOver the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal-or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned. Ideasabout social class-whether a person is “working-class” or “middle-class”-are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers‟ jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her “housekeeping”, would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.The stereotype of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is – inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house of these provided him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such long-term plans.Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much, if not more, than their middle-class supervisors. Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about “tomorrow”. Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position. The changes in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid (whatever the type of job they may have) and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.86, which of the following is seen as the cause of class differences in the past?A: life style and occupationB: Attitude and incomeC: income and job securityD: job security and hobbies87 the writer seems to suggest that the description of ------- is closer to truth?A: middle –class ways of spending moneyB: working-class ways of spending the weekendC: working-class drinking habitsD: middle-class attitudes88 according to the passage, which of the following is not a typical feature of the middle -class? A: desiring for securityB: Making long term plansC: having priorities in lifeD: saving money89 working -class people's sense of security increased as a resulf of all the follwoing factor except?A:better social securityB: more job opportunitiesC: higher living standardD: better legal protection.90.which of the following statement is incorrect?A:Changes are slowly taking place in all sectors of the British society.B:The gap between working -class and middle- class young people is narrowingC: different in income will remain but those in occupation will disappearD: middle-class people may sometimes feel inferior to working-class people!TEXT CFor several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighourhood called and some times stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, “do you think I‟m handsome, Miss Eyre?”The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized i t: …No, sir.”“ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.”“Sir, I‟m sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn‟t matter, or something like that,”“no, you shouldn‟t! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awaful faults to counterbalance your few good pointsI thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to re ad my mind, and said quickly,” yes, you‟re right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am no t a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn‟t my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you‟re the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you‟re sympathetic and give themhope.”It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn‟t seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time.“Don‟t be afraid of me, Miss Eyre.” He continued. “ you don‟t relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. You‟re like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you‟ll fly very high. Good night.”91:at the beginning miss Eyre 's impressions of Mr.Rochester were all exceptA: busyB:sociableC: friendlyD: changeable92, in "....and all my knowledge him was limited to occasional meetings about the house,…”.the word about meansA:aroundB:onC:outsideD:concerning.93. why did Mr.Rochester say" ..and the you stab me in the back!" the (7thpara.A: because Jane had intended to kill him with a knifeB: because Jane had intended to be more critical.C: because Jane had regretted having talked to himD:because Jane had said something else to correct herself.94, from what Mr.Rochest told miss Eyre,we can conclude that he wanted toA: Tell her all his troublesB: tell her his life experience.C:change her opinion of himD change his circumstances95, at the end of the passage , Mr. Rochester soundedA:rudeB: coldC: friendlyD: encouraging.TEXTDThe ideal companion machine-the computer- would not only look, feel, and sound friendly but would also be programmed to behave in a pleasant manner. Those qualities that make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting. In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style. The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and opinions; it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own.Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another. At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attachment and intimacy. The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation. After experiencing a wealth of powerful, well-timed friendship indicators, the user would be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend.An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that could continue from previous discussions. It would have a familiarity with the user‟s life as revealed in ear lier contact, and it would be understanding and good-humored. The computer‟s own personality would be lively and impressive, and it would develop in response to that of the user. With features such as these, the machine might indeed become a very attractive social partner.96.which of the following is not a feature of the ideal companion machine?A:Active in communicationB: Attractive in personality.C: enjoyable in performanceD: unpredictable in behaviour97. the computer would develop friendships with humans in a (n) ---------way.A: QuickB: unpredictableC: productiveD: inconspicuous.98.which of the following aspects is not mentioned when the passage discusses the benefits of artificial relationships?A:Being able to pick up an interesting conversation.B: Being sensitive to earlier contact.C: Being ready to learn about the person's lifeD:Having a pleasant and adaptable personality.99throughout the passage,the author is _____in his attitude toward the computerA:favourableB:criticalC: vagueD: hesitant100. which mgiht be the most appropriate title of the passage?A:Articial relationshios .B: How to form intimate relationshipsC:The affectionate machineD: Humans and computersPART ⅥWRITINGSection a compositionRcently a beijing information company did a survey of student life among more than 700 students in Beijing, guangzhou ,xi 'an chengdu , shanghai , wuhan,nanjing ,and shenyang .

Model Test 1DictationMaking a ComplaintComplaning about faulty goods or bad services is never easy. / But if something you have bought is faulty or of poor quality, / you have to ask for a favor to get it right. / Complaints should be made to a responsible person. / Go back to the shop where you bought the goods, / taking with you any receipt you may have. / In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so youcan complain directly. / In a chain store, ask the manager. / If you telephone, ask the name of the person who handles your enquiry; / otherwise you may never find out who dealt with the complaint later. / If you do not want to do it in person, write a letter. / Stick to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. / At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, / but you do not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article.CompositionAn Electronic Dictionary or a Traditional Paper One?Dictionaries play a very important role in language study. When it comes to whether to choose an electronic dictionary or a traditional paper one, different people will offer different opinions. Though electronic dictionaries are more popular now and often quicker and easier to use, traditonal paper dictionaries are the better tool for study, especially of a foreign language.Traditional dictionaries, by providing more detailed definitions and examples, have greater capacity of vocabulary and better serve for study purposes. Some famous publishing houses have issued a lot of authoritative dictionaries like Oxford and Webster. People can choose any paper format from many different publishers as a study tool while there are frequently many errors in electronic ones. In addition, electronic dictionaries do not necessarily provide enough detail to provide accurate information.Though paper dictionaries are generally much heavier than electronic ones, students can use them at any time and in any place because they do not rely on electricity. Though the size of the letters in some dictionaries is very small, it does not consume energy unless some count the energy a person uses to carry it around! Think of all the money people could save on batteries, too!When people travel, an electronic dictionary may be more convenient. However, if somebody wants to read a book in a foreign language, a traditional dictionary is the perfect tool. Paper dictionaries are not merely a tool to check the meaning of words, but also a book which can be used to increase your vocabulary.Note-writingMarch 2, 2012 Dear Mr. Maxim,I take great pleasure in sending my most ardent and earnest congratulations on your promotion to professor at the university! You are absolutely worthy of this new professional title since your lectures are always academically interesting and easy to understand. My best wishes for you continued success!Yours,JohnModel Test 2DictationComputersA computer is a machine that is able to handle information very quickly. / Hundreds of problems can be solved in just a few seconds with it. / The information that is needed to solve a problem is translated into numbers by the computer. / The computer solves the problem, and then the answer is translated into words. / Special machines are used to put information and instructions into the computer. / The computer records the information and stores it. / A large amount of information can be stored in a very small space. / This information is stored in the computer’s memeory unit. / Computers are used in many different ways. / Business and banks use computers to keep financial records. / In many industries computers are used to control other machines that make products. / Governments, hospitals, schools, and communication companies work with computers. / Special computers have been developed for rockets, airplanes, ships, and cars. / Some people have small computer systems in their homes. / Because computers have so many uses, the computer industry has become one of the largest industries in the world.CompositionLiving on Campus or Living Outside School?Nowadays, choosing a right living place became an important issue for college students. Some of them prefer to live alone by renting a room near school, while others prefer to live with classmates on campus. As for me, I like to live with classmates in group domitory on campus.There are several vital reasons for my opinion. First, it is very convenient to ask classmates questions about courses and have various discussions with them. The main task of students is to achieve outstanding academic performance rather than anything else. Living on campus benefits not only me but also my classmates as we can help each other. Second, it can make me have better personal relations. It is not enough to communicate with classmates and friends just in classroom. Instead we need see and talk to each other frequently in spare time so as to maintain friendship. Third, it can save me much time. Living outside school will absolutely cost me more time to go to classes and get back. Put all the wasted time together, and that is really a considerable amount. With the saved time, I can study longer to improve my GPA (Grade Point Average平均绩点;平均分). Meanwhile, I can also participate in more association activities in order to make new friends and enrich my school life.In conclusion, living on campus is the best choice for college students. It helps them to perform better in study and establish better personal relations. Contrarily, living off campus would produce adverse impact and therefore should be avoided.Note-writingJan. 2, 2012 Dear Bill,As the Spring Festival is drawing near, I am very gald to invite you to a dinner party with several other friends of ours. Would you like to come on time at 5: 00 pm today, to Room 6 ofHoliday Inn Hotel? I’m sure we will have a very good time and enjoy ourselves thoroughly.Yours,Fred。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.TEXT AWhat is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science?We all know that science plays an important role in the societies in which we live. Many people believe, however, that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first of these is the application of the machines, products and systems of applied knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. Through technology, science improves the structure of society and helps man to gain increasing control over his environment.The second aspect is the application by all members of society of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually directs his attention towards problems which he notices have no satisfactory explanation, and his curiosity makes him look for underlying relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and applies logical thought to the observations he makes. He utilizes the facts he observes to the fullest extent. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum.He is skeptical - he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available - and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively toverify them.Furthermore, he is not only critical of the work of others, but also of his own, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.Lastly, he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but alsofrequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to make hypotheses of how processes work and how events take place.These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.81. Many people believe that science helps society progress throughA. applied knowledge.B. more than one aspect.C. technology only.D. the use of machines.82. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about curiosity?A. It gives the scientist confidence and pleasure in work.B. It gives rise to interest in problems that are unexplained.C. It leads to efforts to investigate potential connections.D. It encourages the scientist to look for new ways of acting.83. According to the passage, a successful scientist would notA. easily believe in unchecked statements.B. easily criticize others' research work.C. always use his imagination in work.D. always use evidence from observation84. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Application of technology.B. Progress in modem society.C. Scientists' ways of thinking and acting.D. How to become a successful scientist.85. What is the author's attitude towards the topic?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Biased.D. Unclear.TEXT BOver the past several decades, the U.S., Canada, and Europe have received a great deal of media and even research attention over unusual phenomena and unsolved mysteries. These include UFOs as well as sightings and encounters with "nonhuman creatures" such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. Only recently has Latin America begun to receive some attention as well. Although the mysteries of the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca civilizations have been known for centuries, now the public is also becoming aware of unusual, paranormal phenomena in countries such as Peru.The Nazca“lines” of Peru were discovered in the 1930s. These lines are deeply carved into a flat, stony plain, and form about 300 intricate pictures of animals such as birds, a monkey, and a lizard. Seen at ground level, the designs are a jumbled senseless mess. The images are so large that they can only be viewed at a height of 1,000 feet - meaning from an aircraft. Yet there were no aircraft in 300 B.C., when it is judged the designs were made. Nor were there then, or are there now, any nearby mountain ranges from which to view them. So how and why did the native people of Nazca create these marvelous designs? One answer appeared in 1969, when the German researcher and writer Erich von Daniken proposed that the lines were drawn by extraterrestrials as runways for their aircraft. The scientific community did not take long to scoff at and abandon von Daniken's theory. Over the years several other theories have been put forth, but none has been accepted by the scientific community.Today there is a new and heightened interest in the Nazca lines. It is a direct result of the creation of the Interment. Currently there are over 60 sites dedicated to this mystery from Latin America's past, and even respected scientists have joined the discussion through e-mail and chat rooms.Will the Interment help explain these unsolved mysteries? Perhaps it is a step in the right direction.86. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. Latin America has long received attention for unusual phenomena.B. Public attention is now directed towards countries like Peru.C. Public interest usually focuses on North America and Europe.D. Some ancient civilizations have unsolved mysteries.87. According to the passage, the Nazca lines were foundA. in mountains.B. in stones.C. on animals.D. on a plain.88. We can infer from the passage that the higher the lines are seen, the the images they present.A. smallerB. largerC. clearerD. brighter89. There has been increasing interest in the Nazca lines mainly because ofA. the participation of scientists.B. the emergence of the Interment.C. the birth of new theories.D. the interest in the Interment.90. The author is about the role of the Interment in solving mysteries.A. cautiousB. pessimisticC. uncertainD. optimisticTEXT CGraduation speeches are a bit like wedding toasts. A few are memorable. The rest tend to trigger such thoughts as, "Why did I wear such uncomfortable shoes?"But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger. Every year a few colleges and universities in the US attract attention because they've managed to book high-profile speakers. And, every year, the media report some of these speakers' wise remarks.Last month, the following words of wisdom were spread:"You really haven't completed the circle of success unless you can help somebody else move forward." (Oprah Winfrey, Duke University)"There is no way to stop change; change will come. Go out and give us a future worthy of the world we all wish to create together." (Hillary Clinton, New York University)"This really is your moment. History is yours to bend." (Joe Biden, Wake Forest University)Of course, the real "get" of the graduation season was first lady Michelle Obama's appearance at the University of California, Merced. "Remember that you are blessed," she told the class of 2009, "Remember that in exchange for those blessings, you mustgive something back... As advocate and activist Marian Wright Edelman says, 'Service is the rent we pay for living ... it is the true measure, the only measure of success'."Calls to service have a long, rich tradition in these speeches. However, it is possible for a graduation speech to go beyond clich6 and say something truly compelling. The late writer David Foster Wallace's 2005 graduation speech at Kenyon College in Ohio talked about how to truly care about other people. It gained something of a cult after it was widely circulated on the Interment. Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs' address at Stanford University that year, in which he talked about death, is also considered one of the best in recent memory.But when you're sitting in the hot sun, fidgety and freaked out, do you really want to be lectured about the big stuff? Isn't that like trying to maintain a smile at your wedding reception while some relative gives a toast that amounts to "marriage is hard work"? You know he's right; you just don't want to think about it at that particular moment. In fact, as is the case in many major life moments, you can't really manage to think beyond the blisters your new shoes are causing.That may seem anticlimactic. But it also gets to the heart of one of life's greatest, saddest truths: that our most "memorable" occasions may elicit the fewest memories. It's probably not something most graduation speakers would say, but it's one of the first lessons of growing up.91. According to the passage, most graduation speeches tend to recall memories.A. greatB. trivialC. unforgettableD. unimaginative92. "But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger" is explainedA. in the final paragraph.B. in the last but one paragraph.C. in the first paragraph.D. in the same paragraph.93. The graduation speeches mentioned in the passage are related to the following themes EXCEPTA. death.a. success.C. service.D. generosity.94. It is implied in the passage that at great moments people fail toA. remain clear-headed.B. keep good manners.C. remember others' words.D. recollect specific details.95. What is "one of the first lessons of growing up"?A. Attending a graduation ceremony.B. Listening to graduation speeches.C. Forgetting details of memorable events.D. Meeting high-profile graduation speakers.TEXT DCultural rules determine every aspect of food consumption. Who eats together defines social units. For example, in some societies, the nuclear family is the unit that regularly eats together. The anthropologist Mary Douglas has pointed out that, for the English, the kind of meal and the kind of food that isserved relate to the kinds of social links between people who are eating together. She distinguishes between regular meals, Sunday meals when relatives may come, and cocktail parties for acquaintances. The food served symbolizes the occasion and reflects who is present. For example, only snacks are served at a cocktail party. It would be inappropriate to serve a steak or hamburgers. The distinctions among cocktails, regular meals, and special dinners mark the social boundaries between those guests who are invited for drinks, those who are invited to dinner, and those who come to a family meal. In this example, the type of food symbolizes the category of guest and with whom it is eaten.In some New Guinea societies, the nuclear family is not the unit that eats together. The men take their meals in a men's house, separately from their wives and children. Women prepare and eat their food in their own houses and take the husband's portion to the men's house. The women eat with their children in their own houses. This pattern is also widespread among Near Eastern societies.Eating is a metaphor that is sometimes used to signify marriage. In many New Guinea societies, like that of the Lesu on the island of New Ireland in the Pacific and that of the Trobriand Islanders, marriage is symbolized by the couple's eating together for the first time. Eating symbolizes their new status as a married couple. In U.S. society, it is just the reverse. A couple may go out to dinner on a first date.Other cultural rules have to do with taboos against eating certain things. In some societies, members of a clan, a type of kin (family) group, are not allowed to eat the animal or bird that is their totemic ancestor. Since they believe themselves to be descended from that ancestor, it would be like eating that。

TEM4作文指导.doc
TEM-4作文指导第一节作文考试题简介一、试题介绍全国英语专业四级考试(TEM-4)中的作文考试由AB两部分构成,其中A部分规定时间为35分钟,要求写一篇大约200个单词的短文;B部分要求写一份60个单词左右的便条、通知或请帖。
这里只讨论A部分的写作注意事项及技巧。
考试大纲要求写作各类体裁的短文,但以写作说明文或论说文为主,不排除写作记叙文和描写文的可能。
作文考试的测试目标:按所给标题、话题或其它要求写作,内容充实、语言通顺、用词恰当、表达得体。
二、评分要点作文考试题的总分为15分。
按五个档次给分:第五档的分值为15-14分;第四档为13-12分;第三档为11-9分;第二档为8-6分;第一档为5-3分。
阅卷者先确定某篇作文的档次,然后给出具体分数。
在作文的审题、结构、论证、语言四大方面内容中,任何一方面出现严重问题,都可能导致不及格。
写作虽属主观题,但对语言基本功的考察是全面的,好坏一览无余,方方面面都会产生有利或不利印象,如字迹、标点符号、大小写、单词拼写、遣词造句等等。
目前写作考试仍是人工阅卷,长时间阅卷容易使人疲劳,所以有阅卷教师将一种“高效的工作法”总结为“一点、一线、一段”的阅卷模式:一点,是指紧扣题目要求,始终围绕明确的中心论点写作,不离题或偏题;一线,是指文章的组织结构与前后衔接要自然,对确定的论点进行几方面论述时要有明确标记;一段,是指考察语言质量时,可能随机抽取第二段起的任何一段细读。
三、注意事项1. 写作考试不是平常练笔,不能想写什么就写什么,想怎么写就怎么写,想写到哪儿就写到哪儿,必须根据题目来写,即必须审题。
要舍得花时间构思、写提纲。
2. 历年的写作题表明:题目一般是与大学生密切相关的话题,人人都会有话可说,但视野要宽,角度要高;不能陈词滥调,要有血有肉。
3. 作文的论题一般都很正式,要用正规的书面语,不要使用太多的口头词语,要保证作文的文体恰当。
4. 作文题目通常由三部分组成:第一部分提供话题与背景信息;第二部分是对文章的结构要求;第三部分是对内容、结构、语法、用词四个方面的评分说明。

Passage 24 The Earth DayOur Planet Earth has so much to give us. From the beautiful natural surroundings to the rich types of creatures, Planet Earth has loads of things to offer that only make the life more beautiful. However, haveyou given a thought to how many individuals actually respect this planet? April 22nd is known the world over as Earth Day. It is celebrated to create more awareness about our planet and situations that we need to take care of to ensure our Planet Earth is well loved and cared for. As things are, we need to celebrate it on one day to remind us of the responsibilities we need to handle in the coming years. The importanceof Planet Earth is something that should be taught to children in their early years, at home and in the school. Only then will the young and old alike, understand the issues such as global warming, energy conservation and the importance of recycling.Passage 27 Differences Between Chinese and Western Eating HabitsThere are great differences between Chinese and Western eating habits. Unlike the west, where everyone had their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If youare being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are veryproud of their cultures of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality. And sometime the Chinese hosts use their chopsticksto put food in your bowl of plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how tasty it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say apolite thank-you and leave the food there. And you should never tap on your bowl with your chopsticks, which can be very insulting to the host.Passage 28 High School Dancing Party in the USIn the United States, a dancing party is held at the end of senior year for high school students. Smaller schools may hold a dancing party open to the entire student body. Large high schools may hold two dancing parties, a junior dancing party for those finishing their 11th gradeyear and a senior dancing party for those who are graduating high school. Dancing parties are mostly attended by juniors and seniors, but some schools allow all classes to attend. The Junior and Senior classes may participate in fund raisers throughout the school year to reduce thecost of prom. Dancing party tickets are sold at school and are traditionally purchased by boys for the couple. It is not unusual for people attending dancing parties as friends to purc hase a couple’s ticket. The cost of half of one couple’s ticket is generally less than that of one for an individual.Passage 29 Artificial IntelligenceArtificial Intelligence is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science which aims to create it. Textbooks define it as the study and design of intelligence agents, where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and take actions which maximize its chances of success. The field was founded on the claim that human intelligence can be so precisely described that it can be stimulated by a machine. The discipline of Artificial Intelligence was born in the summer of 1956. Half of a century has passed, and Artificial Intelligence has come a long way since its beginning. It has turned intoan important field, whose influence on our daily day lives can hardly be overestimated. Many specialized Artificial Intelligence systems exist that are at work in our cars, in our laptop computers, and in our personal and commercial technologies. There is no doubt that the impact of Artificial Intelligence on our lives in the future will become even more general and universal.Passage 33 IdiomsAn idiom is defined as a group of words whose meaning must be known as a whole, because it cannot be learned from the meaning of the same words used separately. Obviously, there is a problem when you cannot look up individual words in a dictionary and find the meaning, the usual strategy we all employ when we come across a word or words that areunfamiliar. With idioms, however, we must learn the group of words. In everyday English, idioms are in common use. In fact, idioms are so common that most native speakers do not even realize that they are using idioms. It is particularly important to recognize idioms when you hear them or read them. When you are able to use them comfortably in your own speech and writing, and then you have achieved a higher level of mastery and fluency in the language.Passage 35 Effect of Cell phonesCell phones are unavoidable part of daily life. Even if you do not own one yourself, you are exposed to them all the time whenever you enter the public areas. Most people think of their cell phones as something that they “just could not live without.” Make sure you are informed about the potential health hazards associated with cell phoneuse that the cell phone companies do not want you to know. While studies are not conclusive, scientists are beginning to suspect that cell phone use could contribute to everything from headache to brain cancer. This is because cell phones emit electromagnetic waves and small amounts of radiation. While research done in the 1990’s indicated that the radiation using a cell phone could expose you to is not really enough to do any damage, many experts are now abolishing that opinion. They recommend that, at the very least, children, teens and young adults avoid using cell phones except inemergencies.。

脲基润滑脂的结构及反应机理的研究
收稿日期:2000201204 通讯联系人:杨 玮文章编号:100128719(2000)0420038205脲基润滑脂的结构及反应机理的研究杨 玮,姚立丹,郑善伟(石油化工科学研究院,北京100083)摘要:脲基润滑脂是一种以矿油为基础油、以异氰酸酯与有机胺合成的聚脲为稠化剂的润滑脂。
利用电子显微镜(SE M )、红外光谱(FT 2I R )和差热分析(D TA )研究了它的内部结构。
在脲基润滑脂的制备中,观察到了从反应开始经历升温膨化最终到反应结束过程中的内部结构变化,并判断出脲基润滑脂分子间是以氢键连接的。
同时,考察了脲基润滑脂内部结构对滴点的影响。
关 键 词:脲;润滑脂;氢键;质谱;电镜;红外光谱中图分类号:T E 62614 文献标识码:A脲基润滑脂是一种以有机化合物为稠化剂的润滑脂,具有热稳定性好、抗氧化性强等特性。
已广泛应用于钢铁、汽车等对润滑脂要求十分苛刻的机械设备上。
各国研究人员已经开发研制出许多种聚脲润滑脂[1~3],他们主要侧重于润滑脂配方及工艺的研究,以使脲基润滑脂的性能有很大提高。
但是,对于脲基润滑脂在热处理过程中结构的变化及其对润滑脂性能的影响,未见公开报道。
脲基润滑脂的结构是直接影响其理化性能的因素,研究它在热处理过程中的变化,不仅可以作为判断润滑脂理化性能的依据,而且也有利于配方及工艺研究,具有重要的指导意义。
笔者应用多种分析手段对脲基润滑脂的结构进行了分析研究,并且考察了脲基润滑脂的内部结构对滴点的影响。
1 实验部分111 脲基润滑脂的制备采用直接法制备脲基润滑脂。
在100l 釜中将有机胺混熔于基础油中,加热至50℃,再将熔化于基础油中的异氰酸酯投入釜内,在一定的搅拌速度下反应,继续加热至最高炼制温度180℃,停止加热,恒温1h 。
112 样品采集从反应开始至加热到最高炼制温度期间,按表1所列出的取样条件及顺序采集试样。
113 样品分析采用宽温度滴点法(GB T 3498)测定样品系列的滴点。
