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 your answer sheet.TEXT AAll Sir William Jones wanted to do was to learn Sanskrit. While he was studying, however, he made a surprising discovery. This ancient language of India was amazingly similar to Latin and Greek. The Sanskrit word for "mother"—matar—was almost identical to the Latin word, mater. “Father” was pitar in Sanskrit, pater in Latin and Greek. The more he studied, the more similarities he found.How could this be? Thousands of miles and many natural barriers separated India and Europe. Still, Jones concluded, the similarities were too strong to be accidental. In 1786, he announced “No one could examine them all three, without believing them to have sprung from some common source.”Since then, scholars have traced many languages to this “common source.” Today, these languages are called the Indo-European family. But where did this source originate? Language and geography provide the clues. European languages have similar words for the animals and trees of northern Europe, such as oak, willow, bear, and wolf. There are no common words for the animals and trees of southern Europe.To scholars, this suggests that the Indo-European languages began in north central Europe. In time, some northern Europeans set out toward the east, settling in Iran, India, and Pakistan. Others migrated westward toward southern and western Europe. The root language developed into dozens of different languages, but the family resemblances remain. The word for “three” is drei in German, tres in Spanish, tre in Albanian, and tri in Russian.Almost every language in Europe is part of the Indo-European family, but there are exceptions. Hungarian and Finnish cling to other language families. High in the Pyrenees, the Basque people speak a language that has no known relatives. Perhaps the Basques were the original inhabitants of the region. Isolated by mountains, they may have been bypassed by the spread of Indo-European culture.81. What did Sir William Jones discover when he was learning Sanskrit?A. Sanskrit was very similar to some European languages.B. Sanskrit was an ancient language.C. The Sanskrit word for mother is the same as that in Latin.D. Latin and Greek were very similar.82. Which of the following statements is true about "the common source"?A. Jones found out the common source.B. All languages sprang from the common source.C. Only three languages sprang from the common source.D. Since 1786, scholars have traced many languages to the common source.83. Where did the common source originate?A. In southernEurope.B. In north-central Europe.C. InIndia.D. in Pakistan.84. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Jones first discovered the root language.B. The languages with the common source are called the Indo-European family.C. The root language developed into different languages as people migrated.D. Every language in Europe is part of the Indo-European family. TEXT BYour first culture shock came after you left your home country and you needed to adjust to the United States, It is now important to learn cultural information about your company, so that you will fit in and perform successfully. The people who make up this environment have their own customs, habits and expectations of each new employee. Gathering information that is formal (policy) and informal (traditions) will help you learn the professional norms and become fully accepted. Policies are corporate documents describing procedures, rules, and standards that guide decision making and conduct. They are similar to official laws that govern a country. Some sources of such written company information include the annual report, product or service brochures, technical and procedural manual, employee directory and the company newsletter. Organizational traditions are usually unwritten hut common practices that have evolved over time. They set the tone and philosophy of the particular corporation, just as the customs of a country do. The best way to learn such information is to observe and talk with others such as your supervisor and co-workers.You can supplement ideas from formal introductory materials given you earlier. Explore with fellow employees those behaviors that may be tolerated but frowned upon. Ask your supervisor for feedback to avoidtypical traps that could cause your co-workers to reject you as a professional. Keep this guide nearby, and refer to it often in private. Reviewing formal company procedures, handouts, written notes, ideas, comments from bosses and colleagues, together with materials in this handbook, will help you make a more healthy cultural adjustment.85. What is the purpose to learn cultural information?A. To know the U. S. A. better.B. To work better in the new environment.C. To make more money.D. To improve one's English.86. According to the passage, ___________ is not the policy's function.A. describing procedures, rules and standardsB. governing a countryC. helping to guide decision making and conductD. writing down the company's information87. ____________ is the best way to learn the organizational traditions.A. To read the policiesB. To study the philosophyC. To study a country's customsD. To observe and communicate with the colleagues and boss.88. How to make a more healthy cultural adjustment?A. Read this passage often.B. Discuss the organizational culture with your colleagues.C. Gather and review the formal and informal information in the corporation.D. Ask your boss for help.89. The passage is written to ___________.A. help readers to understand the organization's cultureB. explain the culture shockC. analyze the policies and traditionsD. help readers to work better with their supervisor and co-workersTEXT C“White hostility toward African Americans, and the resulting discrimination, have been fueled by a sense of threat. During slavery, many working-class whites, encouraged by slaveholders, feared the release of large numbers of blacks into the labor market and society in general. When northern industries used African Americans as strikebreakers in the first decades of this century, white workers feared the loss of their jobs. Today, many white Americans fear “black violence”. Moreover, specific fears about the “costs” of welfare as well as the "taking" of jobs through affirmative action have added to the fear of black violence.These fears have translated into negative stereotypes of African Americans as a people who are prone to crime and violence, unwilling to work, and a drain on the white taxpayer through their welfare dependency. In turn, these stereotypes have been used to justify informal discrimination, to prevent the help to the urban poor, to be negligent in enforcing laws or policies prohibiting discriminatory practices against black workers, and most important, to hesitate in making a serious effort at job creation for African Americans. The result is that African Americans’ share of valued resources has not increased much over the last two decades, even as formal discrimination has been greatly lessened. This fact is used to further the negative belief that African Americans have "not taken advantage of their equal opportunities."90. According to the passage, how did the northern industries make use of African Americans in 1900s?A. Sent them to ask the strikers to go back to work.B. Made them work very hard.C. Employed them to threaten the white strikers.D. Released them into the labor market.91. What is the ill influence of these negative stereotypes?A. Giving help to the poor black.B. Justifying informal discrimination.C. Enforcing laws prohibiting discriminatory practices against black workers.D. Creating opportunities of employment for the black.92. What can be inferred from "a drain on the white taxpayer" about the African Americans?A. They are unwilling to work.B. They never pay tax.C. They lack security.D. Their welfare depends on the white's tax.93. The author wrote the passage to tell us__________.A. African Americans pose a threat to the whites in employmentB. African Americans are dependent on the tax paid by the whitesC. African Americans are discriminated against because they are often on strikeD. the sense of threat intensifies the white's hospitality and discrimination against the African AmericansTEXT D“People thought of themselves as having rights from companies,” said Hoshua Freeman, a labor historian at Columbia University. That sense of entitlement grew even stronger in the early decades after World War II and collective bargaining became the arena for arguing out wages, pensions, health insurance, vacations, hours and job security.That system is disappearing today. Career-long attachments to one employer, a notion born in the 1920's, are no longer the .norm. The newclass-consciousness makes less distinction between workers and managers. Rights are relative, at best. An increasingly conservative electorate has reduced government's role in regulating the economy. Unions have lost influence and membership.What people do is try to cope, by themselves, said Ms. Skelly, of DYG. Self-employment is one solution, DYG's polls show, and that is a rising trend. "They try, on the job, to hide any weakness in their performance," she said. “They work longer hours and take work home, without letting the boss know, to give the impression that they can do difficult tasks quickly. There is nothing like, ‘we are all in this together.’ There is too much competition. People talk of their weakness to friends and spouses, but not to coworkers.”And many Americans feel in their hearts that the unemployment might be justified. “There is a sense among people that we are inefficient and bloated,” Ms. Skelly said. “And until they feel that is no longer true, they are reluctant to criticize the forces that are cutting out the fat and the inefficiencies.”94. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that ___________.A. people do not enjoy their rights nowadaysB. people are more likely to change their jobs than they were in the 1920'sC. workers and managers share the same rights todayD. nowadays, people refuse to take part in the Union95. According to Ms Skelly, which of the following is true?A. People like to work overtime.B. People want to work at home.C. People want to impress the boss with their capability and efficiency.D. People need help from their families, for they cannot cope with difficult problems themselves.96. People hide their weakness from___________.A. their parentsB. their wives or husbandsC. their friendsD. their colleagues97. The main idea of the passage is___________.A. people thought of themselves as having rights from companiesB. people's sense of entitlement is not as strong as it used to beC. people work at homeD. people regard unemployment as usualTEXT EYou may not have thought of it just this way, but the letter you write is part of you, and expression of your personality. Therefore to write letters that are mere patterns of form is to present a colorless personality.Letters, by their very nature, are too individual to be standardized. A letter may be absolutely perfect according to the standards of good taste and good form; but unless it also expresses something of the writer's personality, it is not a good letter.In other words, don't be satisfied to write letters that are just correct and nothing more. Try to write letters that are correct for you... letters that are warm and alive with reflections of your own personality.And if this sounds like a platitude (陈词滥调), stop for a moment and think back over your recent correspondence. What was the most interesting letter you received? Was it a letter anyone could have written? Or was it a letter that instantly “came alive” as you read it—that brought the personality of the sender right into the room with you. as though you were face to face, listening instead of reading?The fault with too many letters, today as in the past—the reason so many letters are dull and lifeless, and often fail to accomplish the purpose for which they are written is simply this: They sound exactly like the letters everyone else writes. They are neither exciting to receive nor stimulating to read.98. What does the author mean by saying “the letter you write is part of you”?A. Writing letters plays an important part in your life.B. When you write letters, you should be careful about what to write.C. People can see your personality from the letters you write.D. You should write good letters.99. What does the author want to explain in the fourth paragraph?A. A good letter presents one's personality.B. His opinion is a platitude.C. Letter-writing is interesting.D. Talking face to face is a better way to communicate than writing letters.100. The best title for the passage is___________.A. Letter WritingB. Personality in Letter WritingC. To Write Interesting LettersD.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet Two.TEXT AThere seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they de-veloped is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with others. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and re-sponsibilities of the adult world.What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy sol-diers, tiny animals and vehicles.Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent. The progress from a rattle used by a baby in 3000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations ofavailable materials.81. T he reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls playwith is that ________ .[A] their social roles are rigidly determined[B] most boys would like to follow their fathers' professions[C]boys like to play with their fathers while girls with their mothers[D] they like challenging activities82. One aspect of "the universality of toys" lies in the fact that ___________ .[A]technological advances have greatly improved the durability of toys[B]the improvement of craftsmanship in making toys depends on the efforts of universities[C] the exploration of the universe has led to the creation of new kinds of toys[D] the basic characteristics of toys are the same the world over83. Which of the following is the author's view on the historical development of toys?[A] The craftsmanship in toy-making has remained essentially unchanged.[B] Toys have remained basically the same all through the centuries.[C] The toy industry has witnessed great leaps in technology in recent years.[D] Toys are playing an increasingly important role in shaping a child's character.84. Regarded as a kind of art form, toys ___________ .[A]follow a direct line of ascent[B]also appeal greatly to adults[C] are not characterized by technological progress[D] reflect the pace of social progress85. The author uses the example of a rattle to show that ___________ .[A]in toy-making there is a continuity in the use of materials[B]even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technology[C]it often takes a long time to introduce new technology into toy-making[D]even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the times.TEXT BHow do we get more young people to increase their consumption of iron-rich foods? Many nutritionists are advocating the fortification of a number of foods. This may help, but I contend that we should also intensify our efforts in nutrition education among our young people. I simply do not buy the argument that it is futile to try to change eating habits. Once an intelligent person—and this includes adolescents—understands the need for a healthy diet, I think he or she will act accordingly. As for specific actions, I suggest that blood hemoglobin should be checked as a routine part of a youngster's yearly physical checkup. It should contain at least 11 grams per 100 milliliters of blood for a girl and at least 12 grams for a boy. If it is any lower, the physician probably will prescribe an easily absorbed iron supplement.Adolescents—and everyone else—should cut out highly processed foods and drinks, which may be low in iron and other nutrients. Read the labels for iron content. Especially make sure that all bakery products are made with enriched flour or whole grains. Try adding liver, chicken, beef, veal or any other variety to the weekly menu.Finally, even when you are trying to lose weight, always eat a sensible, well-balanced diet made up of a variety of fresh or very lightly processed foods. In this way, you stand a good chance of getting not only enough iron, but also adequate amounts of all the other essential nutrients.86. The author recommends that young people __________ .[A] check blood hemoglobin yearly[B] be on a strictly vegetarian diet[C] lose weight[D] do some more studies on hemoglobin87. What kind of bakery products do young people have to eat?[A] Bread made with good vegetable oil.[B] Bread made with wheat.[C] Bread made with enriched flour or whole grains.[D] Bread containing less calories.88. The passage is mainly about ________ .[A] the importance of diet[B] the need of iron[C] adolescents eating habits[D] blood hemoglobin89. When the author says that we should intensify our efforts in nutrition education amongour young people, he means that we __________ .[A]should force young people to eat well-balanced meals[B]should tell young people to eat liver, chicken, beef or veal[C]should teach adolescents about nutrition in home economics class[D]should try to change eating habits to get enough iron and other essential nutrients90. The author says that the appropriate way to lose weight is ___________ .[A]to cut our highly processed foods and drinks[B]to eat a variety of fresh or every lightly processed foods[C]to eat vegetables and eggs[D]to eat foods recommended by a physicianTEXT CPeople can be addicted to different things—e. g.,alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive, i. e., they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, manypeople are compulsive spenders: they feel they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is irrational—impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.There is a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy thingsthey don't need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game: when they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for things that they do and the real reason.It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business: they consider people's needs for love, power, or influence, their basic value, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods.Psychologists can often use a method called "behavior therapy" to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.91. According to the psychologists, a compulsive spender is one who spends large amountsof money _______ .[A] and takes great pleasure from what he or she buys[B] in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in life[C] just to meet his or her strong psychological need[D]entirely with an irrational eagerness92. According to the author, compulsive bargain hunters are in constant search of the lowestpossible price ________ .[A] because they want to save money to help their budgets[B] because they can openly boast of their triumph over others in getting things for lessmoney[C] and will not have money problems if they can keep to their budgets[D] but they seldom admit they r eel satisfied if they can get things for less money thanothers93. Which of the following is TRUE?[A]All people spend money for exactly the same reason that they need to buy things.[B]Business people and advertisers use the psychology of spending habits toincrease sales.[C] Business people understand the psychology of compulsive buying better than scientistsdo.tists do.[D] Compulsive bargain hunters do not have problems with money.94. The article is mainly about _______ .[A ] the psychology of money-spending habits[B]the purchasing habits of compulsive spenders[C] a special psychology of bargain hunting[D] the use of the psychology of spending habits in business95. From the passage, we can safely conclude that compulsive spenders or compulsive bargain hunters ________.[A] are really unreasonable[B] need special treatment[C] are really beyond remedies[D] can never get any help to solve their problems with moneyTEXT DIn the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like "serious illness of a family member" were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress—it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women's magazines ran headlines like "Stress causes illness!" "If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy," the articles said, "avoid stressful events. "But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous many—like the death of a loved one—are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we're all vulnerable and passive in the face of adversity. But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain.96. The result of Holmes-Rahe' s medical research tells us _______ .[A] the way you handle major events may cause stress[B] what should be done to avoid stress[C] what kind of event would cause stress[D] how to cope with sudden changes in life97. The studies on stress in the early 1970's led to _________ .[A] widespread concern over its harmful effects[B] great panic over the mental disorder it could cause[C] an intensive research into stress-related illnesses[D] popular avoidance of stressful jobs98. The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows _______ .[A] how much pressure you are under [B] how positive events can change your life [C]how stressful a major event can be [D] how you can deal with life-changing events99. Why is "such simplistic advice" (Para. 3) impossible to follow?[A] No one can stay on the same job for long.[B] No prescription is effective in relieving stress.[C] People have to get married someday.[D] You could be missing opportunities as well.100. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become _________________[A] nervous when faced with difficulties[B]physically and mentally strained[C] more capable of coping with adversity[D] indifferent toward what happens to themSECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]Is it necessary to make an occupational plan?

英语2024年普通高校招生考试仿真模拟卷四

英语2024年普通高校招生考试仿真模拟卷四全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Big Adventure to the Zoo!Hi there! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. I just had the most exciting day ever and I can't wait to tell you all about it! Last weekend, my mom and dad took me to the zoo and it was totally awesome. We saw so many cool animals up close. It was like being on a big safari adventure!We got to the zoo right when it opened in the morning. The first thing we did was go see the big cats like lions and tigers. Can you believe how huge those guys are? The lion let out a massively loud roar that scared me at first, but then I thought it was pretty neat. The tiger was my favorite though. He was pacing around looking all fierce with his stripes and sharp teeth. I'd hate to meet one of those in the wild!After the big cats, we went to the monkey house. Those little guys were sooo funny! They were swinging around, making funny noises, and picking things off each other. One of them even threw a piece of banana at me! My dad thought that washilarious but my mom got kind of mad. The monkeys reminded me of my little brother actually - always making messes and goofing around.Then we saw the enormous elephants lumbering around. They used their long trunks to scoop up food and spray water all over themselves. I learned that elephants are the biggest animals on land. I couldn't believe how massively ginormous they were! Their leathery grey skin looked so wrinkly up close. We even got to go inside a fake elephant statue that showed what their skeletons look like. So cool!One of the wildest exhibits was the reptile house. It was all warm and humid inside to make the snakes and lizards feel at home. We saw anacondas, pythons, cobras, and even some Gila monsters! The guide said some of those snakes could easily swallow me whole. Yikes! I kept my distance for sure. But I have to admit, snakes are pretty neat creatures even if they're kinda scary.My favorite animals of all were definitely the polar bears though. They were beautiful shaggy white giants that looked like adorable stuffed animals, but the signs said they were actually powerful predators. We watched them swimming around in their big icy pool paddling with their huge webbed feet. So majestic! Iwanted to jump in and give one a big hug, but mom definitely said no way to that idea. Can't blame her I guess!Besides all the awesome animal exhibits, the zoo had so much other fun stuff too. We went on a safari tram that drove right through the lion and zebra areas. We got to throw fish to the jumping grizzly bears (my aim wasn't too great though). And we watched an incredible bird show where the trainers had hawks, owls, and falcons flying right over our heads!At the petting zoo area, I got to brush and feed some friendly goats, sheep, and even a small camel. The goats kept trying to eat my snack though, so I had to watch out! I also rode a big hairy dromedary camel all by myself. It was a little scary how high up I was, but I felt like a brave explorer.On our way out, we stopped at the gift shop and I got to pick out some rad souvenirs. I chose a stuffed tiger, a snake puppet, and some plastic dinosaurs. I'm going to show them to my friends at school and pretend to be a zookeeper! Maybe I'll be one for real when I grow up.Whew, I'm worn out just thinking about our busy day! The zoo was such an adventure from start to finish. I got to see all different kinds of animals that I'd only seen in books or movies before. It was amazing being so close to such big, powerfulcreatures. Yet I also got to learn how important it is that we protect their environments too. Zoos make sure endangered species don't disappear from our world entirely.I already can't wait to go back to the zoo again sometime soon! Maybe next time I'll evenget to have a sleepover there. How cool would that be?? I'd get to hear the lions roaring and monkeys screeching all night long! A kid can dream, right? Well, that's the full scoop on my latest big adventure. Let me know if you've ever had an awesome trip to the zoo too! Okay, time for me to snack and take a nap - all that exploring has made me pooped. See ya!篇2My Dream VacationHi everyone! My name is Timmy and I'm a fifth-grade student. Today, I want to tell you about my dream vacation. It's going to be super fun!For my dream vacation, I want to visit a magical place called Fairyland. Fairyland is a beautiful island that is full of surprises and adventures. It's like stepping into a fairytale book!First, let me tell you about the journey to Fairyland. We will take a special flying train that can travel through the sky. It's not like any regular train; it has wings and propellers! The train will take us high above the clouds, and we will be able to see the world from a bird's-eye view. I'm so excited just thinking about it!Once we arrive in Fairyland, there are so many things to explore. The first place I want to visit is the Enchanted Forest. It's a magical forest with talking animals and glowing plants. I want to meet a wise old owl and ask it all sorts of questions. Maybe it can even teach me some magic tricks!Next, I want to go to the Mermaid Lagoon. It's a beautiful underwater kingdom where mermaids swim and play. I've always been fascinated by mermaids, and I can't wait to see them up close. Maybe they will even teach me how to swim like a mermaid!After that, I want to go on a treasure hunt in the Pirate's Cove. The pirates in Fairyland are not scary; they are friendly and love to have fun. They have hidden treasures all over the island, and I want to find them all. I'll have a map and a magnifying glass, just like a real treasure hunter!In the evening, there will be a grand feast in the Fairy Palace. The palace is made of sparkling crystals and has a huge banquet hall. Fairies from all over Fairyland will gather there to celebrate. I want to dress up like a prince and dance with the fairies. It's going to be a magical night!Finally, before we leave Fairyland, I want to send a postcard to my friends and family. I'll write about all the amazing things I've seen and done. I'll also tell them how much I miss them and wish they were here with me. I hope the postcard will bring smiles to their faces.Oh, how I wish my dream vacation to Fairyland could come true! It would be the best adventure ever. But for now, I'll keep dreaming and working hard in school. Who knows? Maybe one day my dream will become a reality!That's the end of my story. I hope you enjoyed hearing about my dream vacation to Fairyland. Thank you for listening, and remember, dreams can come true if you believe in them!Total words: 409篇3My English Exam AdventureHi there! My name is Timmy and I just took the craziest English test ever. It was the 2024 entrance exam to get into a good high school. Mom and Dad said doing well on it was super important for my future. At first I wasn't too worried since English is one of my best subjects. But man, this test was no joke!It started off pretty normal with some reading comprehension passages. There was one about a kid who invented a new app and another about different holiday traditions around the world. I've read trickier stories than those in my reading books at school. The questions weren't too bad either, just asking stuff like the main idea and what certain words meant. Piece of cake so far!Then we moved onto the writing section and that's where things got wild. The first prompt asked me to describe the best birthday party I've ever had. Easy enough, right? I wrote about the year I had a huge Nerf battle in my backyard and all my friends came over. We made forts and everything! I made sure to use lots of cool details and vocabulary words like "epic" and "intense."But get this - the next prompt was to write a persuasive essay about whether global warming is caused by human activity or not! What the heck? I'm just a 10-year-old kid. How am Isupposed to know that kind of stuff? I did my best though. I said things like "Many scientists believe..." and "On the other hand, some people argue..." I'm honestly not sure if I had a clear position or not. I just tried to make it sound grown-up and formal.The grammar section afterwards was no walk in the park either. There were tons of sentences with multiple errors that we had to fix. Some were pretty tricky like figuring out if "every day" should be two words or one word. Thank goodness I've had lots of practice fixing grammar in my writing journal. I think I got most of those right.Next up was listening comprehension which is usually my strong suit. We had to listen to a lecture about the history of computers and answer comprehension questions. The weird part was that the lecturer had a really strong British accent. I could barely understand what she was saying half the time! I had to guess on quite a few of those based on context clues.By the time we got to the last part testing spoken English, I was already exhausted. We had to answer open-ended questions and speak for 1-2 minutes each time. The sample questions were easy things like "What is your favorite school subject?" But the real ones were crazy hard! One asked me to compare andcontrast the judicial systems of common law and civil law countries. Umm... what?? I've never even heard of that stuff before! I just started rambling about how everyone deserves a fair trial and courts should make good decisions. I'm sure I completely bombed that one.All in all, it was probably the most difficult test I've ever taken. And I thought that math competition last year was hard! Parts of it seemed way too advanced for kids my age. I really hope I did ok though because this test is so important. Mom already bought me a Special Deluxe Studybot 3000 to get ready for high school. If I don't get in anywhere good, she'll be so disappointed.Wish me luck, everybody! If you're taking an entrance exam soon too, study as hard as you can. You're gonna need it! These test makers are not messing around. But just do your best. If a 10-year-old kid like me can get through it, so can you!篇4English 2024 College Entrance Exam Practice Test 4Hello friends! My name is Tommy and I'm going to tell you all about the crazy English exam I just took. It was supposed totest if I'm ready for college, but I'm only 10 years old! I tried my best though.The first part was listening. They played some audio recordings and asked me questions about what I heard. There were people talking about things like going on vacation, buying a new car, and having a job interview. I understood some of the easy words, but a lot of it went right over my head! I just circled letters at random for most of that section.Then it was time for reading. They gave me all these long, boring passages to read. One was about the history of airplanes, another was some economist talking about global trade. Yawn! Reading is my least favorite subject. I read the first few sentences and just started guessing on the questions. Sorry teachers, I tried!The writing section was up next. They wanted me to write a whole essay arguing whether kids should have to go to school year-round instead of getting a summer break. Can you believe that? Take away my summer vacation? No way! I wrote one paragraph saying "Summer is fun and I don't want year-round school because I need time to play." I'm pretty sure that's not the amazing 5-paragraph essay they wanted.Luckily, the last part was the grammar section which is kind of my thing. They'd give a sentence with some blanks and you had to pick the right words to fill in. Like:Sam _____ to the park yesterday.A) goB) goesC) wentD) goneEasy ones like that were no problem. The hard ones asked about subjunctive moods and participial phrases. What?? I'm 10!I just circled C for every answer. Hopefully I got a few right by lucky guesses.Phew, I'm exhausted after that mega English test. They definitely need to make it easier if they want little kids like me to pass. Or maybe I should just stick to video games and snack cakes for now. What do you think? Did you enjoy my perspective on this way too hard college exam? Let me know!篇52024 English University Entrance Exam Practice TestHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm a 10-year-old elementary student. Today I'm going to tell you all about my day at school and what I've been learning in English class. Get ready for a fun story filled with simple words and lots of details!This morning, I woke up feeling super excited because it was Reading Day at school. Every few weeks, we get to come to class in our pajamas and bring our favorite books to read during reading time. I put on my comfiest PJs with the rocket ship pattern and grabbed my beloved Magic Treehouse book.After eating my breakfast of pancakes with maple syrup and orange juice, I rushed to the bus stop to catch a ride to school. The bus was packed with kids in their sleepwear carrying books and stuffed animals. We looked pretty silly, but it's one of my favorite days!When I arrived at school, my best friend Lily was waiting for me at the front doors. "Hey Jamie, nice rocket ship pajamas!" she said with a big grin. Lily was wearing her unicorn onesie and clutching her fairy book under her arm. We walked to class together, chatting about the magical stories we wanted to read that day.Mrs. Henderson, my English teacher, was sitting at her desk wearing a cozy purple robe and fluffy slippers. A pile of bookswas stacked on the corner of her desk. "Good morning, class!" she said in a singsong voice. "Who's ready for Reading Day?"We all cheered and clapped our hands. After the morning announcements, it was time for reading time to begin. Mrs. Henderson passed out cupcakes as a special treat. I happily nibbled on my chocolate cupcake while cracking open my Magic Treehouse book.For the next glorious hour, the room was silent except for the turning of pages as we all got lost in our favorite stories. I followed Jack and Annie as they traveled back in time to the dinosaur era. I could practically see the terrifying T-Rex looming in front of me! Reading is awesome because the books take you on exciting adventures without leaving your seat.Too soon, it was time to put our books away for math class. I reluctantly closed my book, leaving Jack and Annie frozen in the prehistoric jungle. Math was a blur as I kept thinking about what would happen next in the story. After math was lunch and recess.I bolted outside to the playground to burn off some energy on the swings and monkey bars.Finally, it was time for English class again after lunch and recess. We had been learning about proper punctuation, especially using periods, question marks, and exclamation pointscorrectly. Mrs. Henderson gave us a fun worksheet where we had to add the right punctuation to sentences about a dog catching a ball. Periods for statements, question marks for questions, and exclamation points for excitement. Easy peasy!Next up was spelling practice. We took turns coming up to the board to sound out and write vocabulary words about colors, animals, and other kid topics. I successfully spelled "elephant" and "crunchy" but tripped up on "bouquet." Darn those tricky vowel combinations!As the final bell rang, Mrs. Henderson reminded us to keep reading over the weekend. "Books are our friends that we can visit anytime!" she exclaimed. I gave Lily a big high five, excited to dive back into the Magic Treehouse adventure during my free time at home.On the bus ride back, I gazed out the window and imagined what kind of magical world Jack and Annie would explore next. Books really do allow your imagination to run wild in the most wonderful ways. What an awesome Reading Day at school!Well, that's all I've got for you about my typical day learning English in elementary school. I hope you enjoyed tagging along and didn't get too bored with all the kid stuff. Speaking of beingbored, I've got a ton of math homework calling my name. ugh! A fourth grader's work is never done. Catch you later!篇62024年普通高校招生考试仿真模拟卷四题目一：动物保护大家好！我是小明，今天要和大家一起谈谈动物保护的问题。

For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A,B, C, and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and markyour answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.PASSAGE ONEInundated by more information that we can possibly hold in our heads, we’re increasingly handing off the job of remembering to search engines and smart phones. Google is even reportedly working on eyeglasses that could one day recognize faces and supply details about whoever you’re looking at. But new research shows that outsourcing our memory—and expecting that information will be continually and instantaneously available—is changing our cognitive habits.Research conducted by Betsy Sparrow, an assistant professor of psychology at Columbia University, has identified three new realities about how we process information in the Internet age. First, her experiment s showed that even we don’t know the answer to a question, we now think about where we can find the nearest Web connection instead of the subject of the question itself. A second revelation is that when we expect to be able to find information again later on, we don’t remember it as well as when we think it might become unavailable. And then there is the researchers’ final observation: the expectation that we’ll be able to locate information down the line leads us to form a memory not of the fact itself but of where we’ll be able to find it.But this handoff comes with a downside. Skills like critical thinking and analysis must develop in the context of facts: we need something to think and reason about, after all. And these facts can’t be Googled as we go; they need to be stored in the original hard drive, our long-term memory. Especially in the case of children, “factual knowledge must precede skill,” says Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology, at the University of Virginia—meaning that the days of drilling the multiplication table and memorizing the names of the Presidents aren’t over quite yet. Adults, too, need to recruit a supply of stored knowledge in order to situate and evaluate new information they encounter. You can’t Google context.Last, there’s the possibility, increasingly terrifying to contemplate, that our machines will fail us. As Sparrow puts it, “The experience of losing our Internet connection becomes more and more liking losing a friend.” If you’re going to keep your memory on yo ur smart phone, better make sure it’s fully charged.41. Google’s eyeglasses are supposed to .A. improve our memoryB. function like memoryC. help us see faces betterD. work like smart phones42. Which of the following statements about Sparrow’s research is CORRECT?A. We remember people and thins as much as before.B. We remember more Internet connections that before.C. We pay equal attention to location and content of information.D. We tend to remember location rather than the core of facts.43. What is the implied message of the author?A. Web connections aid our memory.B. People differ in what to remember.keep memory on smart phones.D. People need to exercise their memory.PASSAGE TWOI was a second-year medical student at the university, and was on my second day of rounds at a nearby hospital. My university’s philosophy was to get students seeing patients early in their education. Nice idea, but it overlooked one detail: second-year students know next to nothing about medicine.Assigned to my team that day was an attending—a senior faculty member who was there mostly to make patients feel they weren’t in the hands of amateurs. Many attendings were researchers who didn’t have much recent hospital experience. Mine was actually an arthritis sepcialist. Also along was a resident (the real boss, with a staggering mastery of medicine, at least to a rookie like myself). In addition, there were two interns. These guys were just as green as I was, but in a scarier way: they had recently graduated from the medical school, so they were technically MDs.I began the day at 6:30 . An intern and I did a quick check of our eight patients; later, we were to present our findings to the resident and then to the attending. I had three patients and the intern had the other five—piece of cake.But when I arrived in the room of 71-year-old Mr. Adams, he was sitting up in bed, sweating hea vily and panting. He’d just had a hip operation and looked terrible. I listened to his lungs with my stethoscope, but they sounded clear. Next I checked the log of his vital signs and saw that his respiration and heart rate had been climbing, but his temperature was steady. It didn’t seem like heart failure, nor did it appear to be pneumonia. So I asked Mr. Adams what he thought was going on.“It’s really hot in here, Doc,” he replied.So I attributed his condition to the stuffy room and told him the rest of the team would return in a few hours. He smiled and feebly waved goodbye. At 8:40 am., during our team meeting, “Code Blue Room 307!” blared from the loudspeaker.I froze.That was Mr. Adam’s room.When we arrived, he was motionless.The autopsy later found Mr. Adams had suffered a massive pulmonary embolism （肺部栓塞）. A blood clot had formed in his leg, worked its way to his lungs, and cut his breathing capacity in half. His symptoms hadbeen textbook: heavy perspiration and shortness of breath despite clear lungs. The only thing was: I hadn’t read that chapter in the textbook yet. And I was so scared, insecure, and proud to ask a real doctor for help.This mistake has haunted me for nearly 30 years, but what’s particularly frustrating is that the same medical education system persists. Who knows how many people have died or suffered harm at the hands of students as na?ve as I, and how many more will??44. We learn that the author’s team members had .A. much practical experienceB. adequate knowledgeC. long been working thereD. some professional deficiency45. “His symptoms had been textbook” means that his symptoms were .A. part of the textbookB. no longer in the textbookC. recently included in the textbookD. explained in the textbook46. At the end of the passage, the author expresses about the medical education system.A. optimismB. hesitationC. concernD. supportPASSAGE THREEThe war on smoking, now five decades old and counting, is one of the public health success stories—but not for everyone.As a whole, the country has made amazing progress. In 1964, four in ten adults in the US smoked; today fewer than two in ten do. But some states—Kentucky, South Dakota and Alabama, to name just a few—seem to have missed the message that smoking is deadly.Their failure is the greatest disappointment in an effort to save lives that was started on Jan. 11, 1964, by the first Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking and Health. Its finding that smoking is a cause of lung cancer and other diseases was major news then. The hazards of smoking were just starting to emerge.The report led to cigarette warning lables, a ban on TV ads and eventually an anti-smoking movement that shifted the nation’s attitude on smoking. Then, smokrs were cool. Today, many are outcasts, rejected by restaurants, bars, public buildings and even their own workplaces. Millios of lives have been saved.The formula for success is no longer guesswork: Adopt tough warning labels, air public service ads, fund smoking cessation programs and imposesmoke-free laws. But the surest way to prevent smoking, particularly among price-sensitive teen, is to raise taxes. If you can stop them from smoking, you’ve won the war. Few people start smoking after turning 19.The real-life evidence of taxing power is powerful. The 10 states with the lowest adult smoking rates slap an average tax of $ on every pack—three times the average tax in the states with the highest smoking rates.New York has the highest cigarette tax in the country, at $ per pack, and just 12 percent of teems smoke—far below the national average of 18 percent. Compare that with Kentucky, where taxes are low (60 cents), smoking restrictions are weak and the teen smoking rate is double New York’s. Other low-tax states have similarly dismal records.Enemies of high tobacco taxes cling to the tired argument that they fall disproportionately on the poor. True, but so do the deadly effects of smoking—far worse that a tax. The effect of the taxes is amplified further when the revenue is used to fund initiatives that help smokers quit or persuade teens not to start.Anti-smoking forces have plenty to celebrate this week, having helped avoid 8 million premature deaths in the past 50 years. But as long as 3,000 adolescents and teens take their first puff each day, the war is not won.47. According to the context, “Their failur” refers to .A. those adults who continue to smokeB. those states that missed the messageC. findings of the reportD. hazards of smoking48. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to stage anti-smoking campaigns.B. The effects of the report on smoking and health.C. Tax as the surest path to cut smoking.D. The efforts to cut down on teeange smoking.PASSAGE FOURAttachment Parenting is not Indulgent Parenting. Attachment parents do not “spoil” their children. Spoiling is done when a child is given everything that they want regardless of what they need and regardles of what is practical. Indulgent parents give toys for tantrums（发脾气）,ice cream for breakfast. Attachme nt parents don’t give their children everything that they want, they give their children everything that they need. Attachment parents believe that love and comfort are free and necessary. Not sweets or toys.Attachment Parenting is not “afraid of tears”parenting. Our kids cry. The difference is that we understand that tantrums and tears come from emotions and not manipulation. And our children understand this too. They cry and have tantrums sometimes, of course. But they do this because theiremotions are so overwhelming that they need to get it out. They do not expect to be “rewarded” for their strong negative emotions; they simply expect that we will listen. We pick up our babies when they cry, and we respond to the tears of our older children because we believe firmly that comfort is free, love is free, and that when a child has need for comfort and love, it is our job to provide those things. We are not afraid of tears. We don’t avoid them. We hold our children through them and teach them that when they are hurt or frustrated we are here to comfort them and help them work through their emotions.Attachment Parenting is not Clingy Parenting. I do not cling to my children. In fact, I’m pretty free-range. As soon as they can move they usually move away from me and let me set up a chase as they crawl, run, skip and hop on their merry way to explore the world. Sure, I carry them and hug them and chase them and kiss them and rock them and sleep with them. But this is not me following them everywhere and pulling them back to me. This is me being a home base. The “attachment” comes from their being allowed to attach to us, not from us attaching to them like parental leeches.Attachment Parenting is not Selfish Parenting. It is also not selfless parenting. We are not doing it for us, and we are not doing it to torment ourselves.Attachment parenting is not Helicopter Parenting. I don’t hover. I supervise. I follow, I teach, I demonstrate, I explain. I don’t slap curious hands away. I show how to do things safely. I let my child to the things that my child wishes to do, first with help and then with supervision and finally with trust. I don’t insist that my 23 month old hold my hand when we walk on the sidewalk because I know that I can recall him with my voice because he trusts me to allow him to explore and he trusts me to explain when something is dangerous and to help him satisfy his curiosities safely.Most of the negative things that I hear about “attachment parents” are completely off-base and describe something that is entirely unlike Attachment Parenting. Attachment Parenting is child-centric and focuses on the needs of the child. Children need structure, rules, and boundaries. Attachment Parents simply believe that the child and the parents are allies, not adversaries. And that children are taught, not trained.49. According to the author, what should parents do when their kids cry?A. Providing comfort and love.B. Trying to stop kids crying.C. Holding them till they stop.D. Rewarding kids with toys.50. What does “free-range” mean according to the passage?A. Fond of providing a home base.B. Reading to play games with my kids.C. Curious to watch what games they play.D. Willing to give kids freedom of movement.SECTION B SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONSIn this section there are five short answer questions based on the passage in Section A.

It's the amazing city of London!London is the capital of England and it's famous for so many things. One of the most famous landmarks is the Big Ben clock tower. I've seen pictures of it in my books, and it looks so tall andbeautiful. I would love to see it in person and hear the chimes of the clock.Another place I want to visit is the Tower of London. It's a castle with a long history. I've read about the kings and queens who used to live there. I want to see the Crown Jewels and the famous ravens. They say that if the ravens ever leave, something bad will happen to the kingdom. I hope they stay!London is also known for its amazing museums. The British Museum has so many ancient artifacts from all over the world. I would love to see the Egyptian mummies and the famous Rosetta Stone. It would be like stepping back in time and exploring history firsthand.One thing I'm really excited about is trying the traditional English food. I want to have fish and chips, which is a famous dish in London. It's fish covered in batter and deep-fried, served with crispy chips. Yummy! I also want to try tea with scones and clotted cream. I've heard it's a delicious treat.I also want to explore some of the beautiful parks in London. Hyde Park is one of the most famous ones. I want to have a picnic there and maybe even rent a boat to row on the Serpentine Lake. It would be so much fun!I can't wait for the day when I can visit London. It's my dream vacation, and I hope it comes true soon. I want to experience the history, the culture, and the excitement of this incredible city. London, here I come!That's the end of my story, everyone. I hope you enjoyed hearing about my dream vacation to London. Maybe one day, you can visit too. Remember, dreams can come true if you believe in them. Bye for now!篇3The Bestest School Year Ever!Oh boy, where do I even start? This was like, the amazingest school year I've had so far! So many fun and crazy things happened, I can't wait to tell you all about it.It started off on the very first day back after summer vacation.I was feeling a little nervous, you know, having to go back to school and all that. But then I saw my best friend Sammy waiting for me at the front gates and we got so excited! We spent the whole morning just catching up and talking about all the awesome things we did over the break.My new teacher this year is Mrs. Apple. At first, I thought her name was a little weird. But then she explained that it's because she really really loves apples! She had apple decorations all over the classroom and would bring in a different kind of apple for us to try every week. My favorite was definitely the bright red Gala apples - they were so sweet and crispy!The coolest thing we did in Mrs. Apple's class was the science fair project. We got to design our own experiments and come up with hypothesises and everything! Sammy and I decided to see if plants could listen to music and which type of music made them grow the tallest. It took a lot of work, playing different songs for the plants every day and measuring their height. In the end, we found out that the ones listening to classical music like Mozart actually grew the fastest. How crazy is that?Speaking of Sammy, we definitely got into a few silly situations together this year too. Like the time we convinced ourselves there was a ghost haunting the school bathrooms. We spent weeks trying to devise plans to catch it and pull pranks on it. Only later did we find out it was just the janitor making noises while he cleaned at night. Woops! And then there was theincident with the kickball going through Mrs. Applebee's window...but maybe we shouldn't talk about that one.Anyway, that's just a small peek into my extraordinarily fun and exciting school year. There's about a million other little stories and memories I could share. Best of all, I know there's going to be many more amazing years just like this one ahead!I absolutely love my school, my teachers, my friends, and every single thing about it. I wish summer vacation didn't have to come so I could just keep on going to class forever and ever. But I guess that's what makes going back after the break so special - I get to reunite with all the people and places I love most. I already can't wait to start next year!篇4My Super Duper English Test Adventure!Hey there! My name is Timmy and I'm in 5th grade. I just had the craziest experience that I can't wait to tell you all about. It was an English test, but not just any English test. This was a big fancy practice test for the huge college entrance exam that high school seniors have to take in 2024! I know, I know, why on earth would a 10-year-old kid like me be taking a test like that? Well, you see, my mom's friend works at the education ministry andthey needed some elementary school kids to try out the new English section before giving it to the actual high schoolers. How cool is that?When my mom first told me about it, I was like "An English test? No way, José!" English is probably my worst subject in school. I can never remember if I'm supposed to use a or an before words. And don't even get me started on verb tenses - that's like mission impossible for this kid's brain. But then my mom said they would give me some fresh new video games if I did a good job, so I was like "OK, let's get this show on the road!"The day of the test, I had to wake up super duper early. Like rooster crack of dawn early. My mom packed me a lunch with an apple, a sandwich, and even a cookie for being so brave. When we got to the test center, there were a bunch of other kids my age looking just as sleepy and confused as me. I gave them all high fives to psych them up.Then it was test time! The nice lady passed out the test booklets and I thought "Oh man, this book is thick!" It had to be like 100 pages at least. My wrists were already getting sore just from holding it. The first section seemed pretty normal - naming pics, filling in blanks, that kind of thing. Piece of cake!But then we hit the reading part and I was like "Wait, what is this gibberish?" The passages were some seriously next level stuff about black holes, Shakespearean sonnets, and the democracy reform policies of modern Ukraine. ¿Que? ¿Qué? I could barely even pronounce half the words!There was this one passage that looked interesting though. It was about these animated Disney movies and how they represented different cultural metaphors and symbolism. Now that's a subject I can get behind! Who doesn't love a little Aladdin, Lion King, and Frozen action, am I right? Using my amazing critical thinking skills that I definitely did not just make up, I broke down all the hidden meanings. Like how Scar's evil plot mirrored corruption and greed in real life. That kind of stuff.I bet I totally aced that part!Next up was the writing section where we had to write a five paragraph persuasive essay. The prompt was: "Should access to COVID-19 vaccines be considered a fundamental human right?" Hmm...vaccines, human rights, ethics - definitely not light reading for a fourth grader. But did I let that stop me? Of course not! I let my creativity take over and just started free-styling away.I wrote all about how vaccines help people not get sick, which is very important. And that if people could get vaccines easier, then the whole world could go on really fun trips to Disneyland and waterparks again without worrying. See, I tied it into kids' interests - I'm brilliant! For my conclusion, I wrote that every kid deserves the basic human right to go to Chuck E. Cheese at least once a year. Boom,mic drop! I definitely deserved an A+ for that award-winning essay.After what felt like forever, they finally called time and I turned in my test. I've never been so mentally exhausted in my life. As I walking out, I passed by some high school students waiting to take another practice test. They looked almost as stressed as I felt. I gave them a big thumbs up like "Don't worry dudes, it's aaaaaall goooood!"A couple weeks later, my mom got an email with my score report. She covering her mouth in shock when she saw it, so I knew I must have really rocked this test. When she showed me the score, I had gotten...a 12%?! Only 12 measly percent?! For all that hard work?!Apparently sensing the budding rage, my mom quickly added "But sweetie, that's 12 percent better than we ALL expected! You should be very proud." She gave me a big hugand reminded me about the new video games I had earned. That's when I realized something very important - I may not be a self-proclaimed genius at standardized testing, but at least I had fun on this wild ride of an experience. And really, isn't that the most important thing?At the end of the day, an English test is just an English test, whether you're 10 or 18. As long as you give it your personal best somehow, someway, that's a major win in my book. So are college entrance exams crazy hard? Yes. Does an elementary schooler understand篇5My Awesome Summer VacationYay, it's finally summer vacation! I love summer because I get to sleep in late, play outside all day, and not have any homework. This summer was the best one ever!The first week of summer, my family went on a big road trip. We drove for two days all the way from our house in Ohio to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. I had never seen real mountains before, just the little hills around where I live. The Rocky Mountains were gigantic! They looked like giant rock monsters sticking up into the sky.We stayed in a cute little cabin right near the mountains. Every morning I would wake up and look outside and there were the massive mountains covered in trees and rocks. A few times we even saw deer and elk wandering around near our cabin. One night we made s'mores over the campfire and I got chocolate and marshmallow all over my face. It was so much fun!My favorite part was when we went hiking on some of the trails in the mountains. We had to wear special hiking boots and carry backpacks with snacks and water. The trails went up and down and around the mountains. Sometimes we had to climb over big rocks or fallen trees. I got pretty tired but my dad let me ride on his shoulders for a while. From high up, we could see amazing views of the valleys and other mountains in the distance.At the end of our hike, there was a beautiful blue-green lake surrounded by pine trees. The water was freezing cold, but we brought our swimsuits so we could swim in it. The bottom was rocky and I could see little fish swimming around my toes. After swimming, we had a picnic lunch by the lake. I don't think I've ever had a sandwich that tasted so good!When we got back home to Ohio, I had so many fun stories to tell my friends. I showed them pictures and videos from mytrip. They all thought the mountains looked so cool and were jealous we got to see wildlife like deer. Now I want to be a hiker when I grow up so I can explore mountains and forests every day!A few weeks later, my cousin Emma came to visit for a week. Emma is from Tennessee and she had never been to Ohio before.I got to show her all the cool places around my town. We went to the park篇62024 Mock College Entrance Exam: English Language SectionReading Comprehension Passage:Hi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I'm in 5th grade and I absolutely love learning new things in school! My favorite subjects are English and science. I hope you enjoy reading this practice test I helped write - it's all about my family's recent summer vacation.Last summer, my parents surprised me and my little brother Timmy with a big family trip! We went to a national park out westfor a whole week. I was so excited because I had never been camping before.The first couple days were kind of hard. We had to hike pretty far carrying our huge backpacks loaded with tents, sleeping bags, food, and camping supplies. My legs got super tired from all the walking uphill. But the scenery was just gorgeous - tall trees, flowery meadows, and snowcapped mountains in the distance. I felt like I was in a painting!Once we found the perfect campsite near a sparkling river, we got to set up our tents and campfire. Pitching the tent was tricky at first but Dad showed us how to hammer the stakes into the ground and secure the rainfly. Timmy and I had a blast gathering kindling and firewood for the campfire. We toasted marshmallows for s'mores that first night under a canopy of bright stars. I had never seen so many stars before!Each day we went on fun hikes to explore more of the park's beautiful nature trails. We saw lots of cool wildlife like deer, elk, chipmunks, and even a bear from a safe distance! My favorite hike was up to a high overlook with an incredible view of the whole valley below. We also didn't miss the chance to splash around in the cold river and skip rocks.The best part was falling asleep each night in our cozy tent listening to the calming sounds of the river rushing by and owls hooting in the woods. I felt so at peace being surrounded by nature. On our final morning, none of us wanted to leave!I made so many wonderful memories on that camping trip and got to experience the outdoors in a whole new way. Spending quality time together as a family was the most special part. I am already counting down the days until our next big adventure!Questions:What was Lily's favorite part of the camping trip?A) Toasting marshmallows by the campfireB) Hiking up to the scenic overlookC) Falling asleep to the sounds of natureD) Getting to explore and learn about wildlifeAccording to the passage, which of the following did Lily NOT see on the trip?A) A deerB) A mooseD) A chipmunkHow did Lily feel about going camping before the trip?A) Nervous because she had never been campingB) Confident because she loved the outdoorsC) Scared of encountering wild animalsD) Excited because she went camping every summerWhy was setting up the tent "tricky" at first?A) The instructions were confusingB) It was raining and the tent kept getting wetC) Lily had never pitched a tent beforeD) They were missing some of the tent piecesWhich word from the passage means "secured" or "made firm"?A) PitchedB) SecuredC) HammeredBased on details in the passage, it can be inferred that Lily is _____.A) An only childB) Afraid of camping in the woodsC) Too young to go on challenging hikesD) Looking forward to another camping tripThe author's main purpose in this passage is to _____.A) Teach about how to set up a campsiteB) Persuade readers to visit national parksC) Describe a family's camping experiencesD) Explain what supplies are needed for campingHow did Lily likely feel when her parents first told her about the camping trip?A) Bored because she went camping every yearB) Excited for a new experience in natureC) Nervous about being away from home for so longD) Disappointed because she wanted to go to the beach instead。
