ASchoolbased Vocational(职业的) Training in GermanyIf you want to do vocational training in healthcare, social services or technical professions, you can do schoolbased vocational training in Germany.What is it?Schoolbased vocational training does not take place partly in a pany, but only at a vocational school or a vocational college. Here you are not an apprentice(学徒) in a pany, but you learn practically fulltime at the school desk.What does it teach you?You will find a variety of professions that you can learn at a vocation al school or a vocational college. Offers are available for professions such as nurse, kindergarten teacher and medicaltechnical assistant. Many—but not all—of the more than 350 officially acknowledged vocational training programs in Germany are schoolbased.How long does it take?Schoolbased vocational training in Germany is usually fulltime. The duration and the curricula are fixed for the individual professions, but there are different vacation periods from school to school, which interrupt the training periods.How much does it cost?In contrast to inpany training, you will not usually receive a monthly training allowance for schoolbased training; in many cases, you will even have to pay for this training. If you go to a state vocational school or a college, there are usually no fees. However, this may not be the case with privately run vocational colleges or schools.Germany's vocational training system is known for its strong focus on practical skills and employability. According to a study by the German Federal Institute for V ocational Education and Training, around 78% of students who pleted a vocation al training program found employment within one year of graduation.21.

Entertainment.BHalloran has loved mountains since she was five or six, when her mother took her to Ireland during the summer holidays. They lived overlooking Annascaul lake on the Dingle peninsula. “It's a lovely viewpoint. I used to sit there as a child. I loved the freedom of going up the mountain alone, when I was nine or ten. I cried for days before going back to London because I felt I would be in a rabbit hutch (窝).”For Halloran, life had settled into a fortable rhythm. But then her fouryearold son died in a car accident; six years later, her husband also passed away. After the loss, she became a workaholic. She went into the office at 5 am, and worked until 10 pm, which was her stability. And it was time to make a change.One day last September, Ann Halloran made her way to her nearest bus stop in Hove, East Sussex. She had done plenty of travelling but, at 65, was setting off alone on her first backpacking adventure. Somewhere between her first stop in Turkey and her final destination—a yoga retreat(静修) in Mazunte, Mexico—she found a new perspective.In Nepal, climbing the 5,400 m Gokyo Ri in the Himalayas, Halloran broke her walking stick. She has osteoporosis(骨质疏松症), which makes bones more likely to break, so the stick was essential in the mountains. Losing it was a blow, but she found reserves of inner strength.Now, she says: “Whenever I get scared, I think of myself on top of that mountain, looking out over Lake Gokyo—and beyond that, Everest. I say, if you can do that, you can do anything.”Since the backpacking adventure, she understands more fully the role that work played in her life for so long. “Work was reliable. I knew what I was doing. I'm a workaholic to this day,” she says. “I've just realised on this yoga retreat that I have to let go of all that. The penny is dropping for me now."24. Why did Halloran cry before returning to London?A. Because she didn't enjoy living alone.B. Because she was unwilling to live with rabbits.C. Because she wasn't used to travelling for a long time.D. Because she couldn't bear to part from the freedom in the mountain.25. What made Halloran a workaholic?A. Her desire to earn more.B. Her goal to settle fortably.C. Her wish to overe sorrow.D. Her plan to save money for travelling.26. What can we draw from Halloran's experience in Nepal?A. It is never too old to learn.B. An idle youth, a needy age.C. East or west, home is the best.D. Success belongs to the persevering.27. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Money is not necessary for Halloran any more.B. Halloran has realized something more meaningful.C. Halloran will make a tighter budget for her next trip.D. Nothing can be equal to Halloran's salary from work.CFor all of human history, eating meat has meant killing animals. But scientists behind labgrown meat say that's no longer necessary. They produce meat by growing cells obtained from an animal's body.Labgrown meat, also called “cellcultivated” or “cultured” meat, is made by feeding a mix of nutrients to animal cells in steel tanks in labs. The idea is to create an alternative to agriculturally raised meat. And unlike other meat substitutes which are made from plant proteins and other ingredients, labgrown meat is real meat. When ready, the meat is formed into shapes such as sausages or nuggets (块), and looks, smells and tastes like any other grocery store version,Recently, the U. S. Department of Agriculture(USDA) has given two panies approvalto sell labgrown chicken. The approval launches a new era of meat production aimed at eliminating harm to animals, and reducing the environmental impacts of grazing(放牧) and growing feed for animals. Scientists warn that the typical way meat is produced now, in concentrated animal feeding operations, is a risk factor for the emergence of diseases. Labgrown meat is more sustainable and can be produced without antibiotics, and without producing greenhouse gas emissions linked to animal agriculture.“Everything we know about how meat can be made is going to change. But don't expect to see cultivated meat in grocery stores just yet,” said Uma Valeti, CEO of UPSIDE Foods. Labgrown chicken is much more expensive, because it cannot yet be produced on the scale of traditional meat.“To make cultivated meat, energy use needs are high,” said Bruce Friedrich, president and founder of the Good Food Institute, a nonprofit group that promotes alternative proteins. However, the disadvantage of high energy needs will be offset by the reduction in land and water use and other benefits. If cultured meat is produced on a large scale, it could also offer a solution to feeding the world's growing population.28. What do we know about labgrown meat?A. It is abundant in plant proteins.B. It can be bought in grocery stores.C. It is generated from animals' cells.D. It tastes more delicious than traditional meat.29. What is the potential benefit of labgrown meat?A. Higher safety for eating.B. Lower costs for restaurants.C. Improvements in traditional agriculture.D. Positive impacts on climate change and animals.30. What problem does the author mention in paragraph 4?A. It is hard to produce labgrown meat in quantity.B. The USDA doesn't approve the sale of labgrown meat.C. Many people raise doubts about the safety of labgrown meat.D. Labgrown meat can disturb petition in the meat industry.31. What does the underlined word “offset” in the last paragraph mean?A. Balanced.B. Satisfied,C. Increased.D. Exchanged.DIt's a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, despite erosion(侵蚀) by sand and wind.The team is dedicated to protecting the 45,000 square meters of murals(壁画) and more than 2,400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site, the construction of which spans about a thousand years, from the 4th century to the 14th century. The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road. “Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness to the world and inspires modern people,” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy.monly seen “diseases” affecting the murals include cracking and flaking (剥落), as well as erosion that is caused by changes in temperature and humidity of the caves, and the deposition of salts. To restore a mural requires an allrounder. Restorers should know painting, master the skills of a mason and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding causes and deliver a solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward.The restoration should respect the original work and aim to maintain the status quo of the murals rather than repainting them. When the restorers find some parts of murals missing or fading away, they never repaint them to create a “perfect” appearance in restoration. “Cultural relics are witnesses of history,” explains Su.“When you pursue the socalled intact(完好无损的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning.”Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems. “It needs a longterm research to better preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes," Su says. But at least, they can keep the existing look of the murals for as long as possible.32. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2?A. To show the popularity of Dunhuang murals.B. To explain the history of the ancient Silk Road.C. To stress the significance of the restoration work.D. To present the ways of protecting cultural heritage.33. Which of the following best describes the restoration work?A. Creative.B. Wellpaid.C. Interesting.D. Demanding.34. What should restoring murals focus on according to paragraph 4?A. Spotting the faded murals in time.B. Fixing the missing parts of murals.C. Making preservation of the murals as they are.D. Repainting to perfect the appearance of murals.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Artistic Charm of Mural Paintings.B. The Mural Restoration in the Mogao Caves.C. The Successful Experiment on Cave Conservation.D. The Role of the Dunhuang Spirit in Chinese Culture.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

From the 16th to the 19th century, Wales, Scotland and the Kingdom of Ireland were 【小题2】 to it one after another. But in the 20th century, the southern part of Ireland broke away from it, which 【小题3】 in the name today: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The four countries work together in some areas. They share the same flag, and use the same 【小题4】and military defence but have different education and【小题5】systems. Throughout history, it was taken over by four different groups.9、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A “Pandaversary Night” party was【小题1】on Aug 24 at the Chinese embassy (大使馆) in Washington,【小题2】the 50th anniversary of giant pandas’ arriving in the US capital. And the Smithsonian’s National Zoo expects the panda craze to last for several more years.“Giant pandas are worthy ambassadors. They have much longer tenures (任期) than each of the Chinese ambassadors here, and they have many more fans than us,” Chinese Ambassador to the United States Qin Gang said at the rec eption. “Year by year, giant pandas have become an icon of mutual【小题3】and friendship between the two peoples. In particular, the arrival of Xiao Qi Ji (Little Miracle) two years ago has brought us a happy surprise.”He was referring to the cub’s birth in t he middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, 【小题4】with the deterioration of China-US bilateral relations to its lowest point in four decades.The ambassador noted that the number of giant pandas in the wild in China has increased from several hundred 50 years a go to more than 1,800, which meant the species is no longer “endangered”, thanks to unrelenting (持续的)efforts at protection and conservation.“But sadly, ‘panda-huggers’ are endangered. Now they need protection and conservation,” he said, in【小题5】 to China-US relations, with hawkish (强硬的) US politicians increasingly seeking to “outcompete” China by【小题6】the country as a challenger or even a threat to the US.“China’s approach to panda diplomacy has【小题7】to serve more of a tool to project soft power”, New York Times said in a recent article.In addition to Xiao Qi Ji, another panda – Kung Fu Panda –was also made in the US. “I still remember a/an【小题8】from it: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that is why it’s called present!” Qin declared. “At present, we get together to cherish the wonderful gift of the panda. We need more pandas, and we also need more ‘panda-huggers’.”“I’m absolutely【小题9】to 50 more years of giant panda care and protection, so I look forward to working with our colleagues in China, as we are 【小题10】about the future for our giant panda program,” said Brandie Smith, director of the National Zoo.10、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. NoteJapan saw 799,728 births in 2022, the lowest number on record. That number has nearly halved in the past 40 years; by contrast, Japan recorded more than 1.5 million births in 1982. Japan also reported a (n)【小题1】high for post-war deaths last year, at more than 1.58 million. Deaths have【小题2】births in Japan for more than a decade, posing a growing problem for leaders of the world’s third-largest economy. They now face a ballooning elderly population, along with a shrinking workforce to【小题3】pensions and health care as demand from the aging population increased.Japan’ population has been in【小题4】decline since its economic boom of the 1980s and stood at 125.5 million in 2021. Its death rate of 1.3 is far below the rate of 2.1 required to maintain a stable population, in the【小题5】of immigration.The country also has one of the highest life expectancies in the world ; in 2020, nearly one in 1,500 people in Japan were aged 100 or older. These concerning trends resulted in a warning from Prime minister that Japan is “on the edge of not being able to maintain social【小题6】” and Japan “simply cannot wait any longer” in solving the problem of its low birth rate. A new government agency will be set up to focus on the issue, with Prime Minister saying that he wants the government to 【小题7】 its spending on child-related programs.But money alone might not be able to solve the complex problem, with various social factors contributing to the low birth rate. Japan’s high cost of living, limited space and lack of child care support in cities make it difficult to ra ise children, meaning fewer couples are having kids. Urban couples are also often far from 【小题8】family in other regions, who could help provide support. In 2022, Japan was ranked one of the world’s most expensive places to raise a child. And yet, the count ry’s economy has slowed down since the early 1990s, meaning frustratingly low ages and little【小题9】mobility.The average real annual household income declined from [50,600in1995to <]43, 300 in 2020.

The Population Surprise（出人意料的人口变化）Text 1The Population Surpriseby Max SingerWill the world's population keep increasing as commonly believed? What are the factors that account for its change? Please read the following article and make out its viewpoints.Fifty years from now the world's population will be declining, with no end in sight. Unless people's values change greatly, several centuries from now there could be fewer people living in the entire world than in the United States today. The big surprise of the past twenty years is that in not one country did fertility stop falling when it reached the replacement rate －2.1 children per woman. In Italy, for example, the rate has fallen to 1.2. In Western Europe as a whole and in Japan it is down to 1.5. The evidence now indicates that within fifty years or so world population will peak at about eight billion before starting a fairly rapid decline.Because in the past two centuries world population has increased from one billion to nearly six billion, many people still fear that it will keep “exploding” until there are too many people for the earth to support. But that is like fearing that your baby will grow to 1 000 pounds because its weight doubles three times in its first seven years. World population was growing by two percent a year in the 1960s; the rate is now down to one percent a year, and if the patterns of the past century don't change radically, it will head into negative numbers. This view is coming to be widely accepted among population experts, even as the public continues to focus on the threat of uncontrolled population growth.As long ago as September of 1974 Scientific American published a special issue on population that described what demographers1 had begun calling the “demographic transition” from traditional high rates of birth and death to the low ones of modernsociety. The experts believed that birth and death rates would be more or less equal in the future, as they had been in the past, keeping total population stable after a level of 10-12 billion people was reached during the transition.Developments over the past twenty years show that the experts were right in thinking that population won't keep going up forever. They were wrong in thinking that after it stops going up, it will stay level. The experts' assumption that population would stabilize because birth rates would stop falling once they matched the new low death rates has not been borne out by experience. Evidence from more than fifty countries demonstrates what should be unsurprising: in a modern society the death rate doesn't determine the birth rate. If in the long run birth rates worldwide do not conveniently match death rates, then population must either rise or fall, depending on whether birth or death rates are higher. Which can we expect?The rapid increase in population during the past two centuries has been the result of lower death rates, which have produced an increase in worldwide life expectancy2 from about thirty to about sixty-two. (Since the maximum －if we do not change fundamental human physiology －is about eighty-five, the world has already gone three fifths as far as it can in increasing life expectancy.) For a while the result was a young population with more mothers in each generation, and fewer deaths than births. But even during this population explosion the average number of children born to each woman －the fertility rate －has been falling in modernizing societies. The prediction that world population will soon begin to decline is based on almost universal human behavior. In the United States fertility has been falling for 200 years (except for the blip of the Baby Boom3), but partly because of immigration it has stayed only slightly below replacement level for twenty-five years.Obviously, if for many generations the birth rate averages fewer than 2.1 children per woman, population must eventually stop growing. Recently the United Nations Population Division estimated that 44 percent of the world's people live in countries where the fertility rate has already fallen below the replacement rate, and fertility is falling fast almost everywhere else. In Sweden and Italy fertility has been belowreplacement level for so long that the population has become old enough to have more deaths than births. Declines in fertility will eventually increase the average age in the world, and will cause a decline in world population forty to fifty years from now. Because in a modern society the death rate and the fertility rate are largely independent of each other, world population need not be stable. World population can be stable only if fertility rates around the world average out to 2.1 children per woman. But why should they average 2.1, rather than 2.4, or 1.8, or some other number? If there is nothing to keep each country exactly at 2.1, then there is nothing to ensure that the overall average will be exactly 2.1.The point is that the number of children born depends on families' choices about how many children they want to raise. And when a family is deciding whether to have another child, it is usually thinking about things other than the national or the world population. Who would know or care if world population were to drop from, say, 5.85 billion to 5.81 billion? Population change is too slow and remote for people to feel in their lives －even if the total population were to double or halve in only a century. Whether world population is increasing or decreasing doesn't necessarily affect the decisions that determine whether it will increase or decrease in the future. As the systems people would say, there is no feedback loop.What does affect fertility is modernity. In almost every country where people have moved from traditional ways of life to modern ones, they are choosing to have too few children to replace themselves. This is true in Western and in Eastern countries, in Catholic and in secular societies. And it is true in the richest parts of the richest countries. The only exceptions seem to be some small religious communities. We can't be sure what will happen in Muslim countries4, because few of them have become modern yet, but so far it looks as if their fertility rates will respond to modernity as others' have.Nobody can say whether world population will ever dwindle to very low numbers; that depends on what values people hold in the future. After the approaching peak, as long as people continue to prefer saving effort and money by having fewer children, populationwill continue to decline. (This does not imply that the decision to have fewer children is selfish; it may, for example, be motivated by a desire to do more for each child.) Some people may have values significantly different from those of the rest of the world, and therefore different fertility rates. If such people live in a particular country or population group, their values can produce marked changes in the size of that country or group, even as world population changes only slowly. For example, the U.S. population, because of immigration and a fertility rate that is only slightly below replacement level, is likely to grow from 4.5 percent of the world today to 10 percent of a smaller world over the next two or three centuries. Much bigger changes in share are possible for smaller groups if they can maintain their difference from the average for a long period of time. (To illustrate: Korea's population could grow from one percent of the world to 10 percent in a single lifetime if it were to increase by two percent a year while the rest of the world population declined by one percent a year.)World population won't stop declining until human values change. But human values may well change －values, not biological imperatives, are the unfathomable variable in population predictions. It is quite possible that in a century or two or three, when just about the whole world is at least as modern as Western Europe is today, people will start to value children more highly than they do now in modern societies. If they do, and fertility rates start to climb, fertility is no more likely to stop climbing at an average rate of 2.1 children per woman than it was to stop falling at 2.1 on the way down.In only the past twenty years or so world fertility has dropped by 1.5 births per woman. Such a degree of change, were it to occur again, would be enough to turn a long-term increase in world population of one percent a year into a long-term decrease of one percent a year. Presumably fertility could someday increase just as quickly as it has declined in recent decades, although such a rapid change will be less likely once the world has completed the transition to modernity. If fertility rises only to 2.8, just 33 percent over the replacement rate, world population will eventually grow by one percent a year again －doubling in seventy years and multiplying by twenty in only three centuries.The decline in fertility that began in some countries, including the United States, in the past century is taking a long time to reduce world population because when it started, fertility was very much higher than replacement level. In addition, because a preference for fewer children is associated with modern societies, in which high living standards make time valuable and children financially unproductive and expensive to care for and educate, the trend toward lower fertility couldn't spread throughout the world until economic development had spread. But once the whole world has become modern, with fertility everywhere in the neighborhood of replacement level, new social values might spread worldwide in a few decades. Fashions in families might keep changing, so that world fertility bounced above and below replacement rate. If each bounce took only a few decades or generations, world population would stay within a reasonable narrow range －although probably with a long-term trend in one direction or the other.The values that influence decisions about having children seem, however, to change slowly and to be very widespread. If the average fertility rate were to take a long time to move from well below to well above replacement rate and back again, trends in world population could go a long way before they reversed themselves. The result would be big swings in world population －perhaps down to one or two billion and then up to 20 to 40 billion.Whether population swings are short and narrow or long and wide, the average level of world population after several cycles will probably have either an upward or a downward trend overall. Just as averaging across the globe need not result in exactly 2.1 children per woman, averaging across the centuries need not result in zero growth rather than a slowly increasing or slowly decreasing world population. But the long-term trend is less important than the effects of the peaks and troughs5 . The troughs could be so low that human beings become fewer than they were in ancient times. The peaks might cause harm from some kinds of shortages.One implication is that not even very large losses from disease or war can affect the world population in the long run nearly as much as changes in human values do. What we have learned from the dramatic changes of the past few centuries is that regardless ofthe size of the world population at any time, people's personal decisions about how many children they want can make the world population go anywhere －to zero or to 100 billion or more.(1916words)课文一出人意料的人口变化马克斯·辛格世界人口会象人们通常认为的那样持续增长吗？造成人口变化的因素是什么？请阅读下面的文章，并弄清其观点。

Early warning systems for all 灾害预警系统致力于“一个都不能少”
Early warning systems for all 灾害预警系统致力于“一个都不能少”作者：李蕊来源：《疯狂英语·新策略》2022年第08期为应对全球范围内极端天气事件频发的局面，联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯表示，在未来5年内，地球上的每个人都应该受到极端天气和气候相关灾害的早期预警系统的保护。
主题语境：灾害防护篇幅：334词建议用时：6分钟Early warning systems for natural disasters are the topic of a new UN project， as extreme weather grows more common due to climate change.Early warning systems， like tornado sirens（警报器），air quality alerts， hurricane trackers， and fire towers， save thousands of lives. Andmore lives have been saved each year as severe weather events become more and more common. But one third of the world's people lack coverage.“Today， one third of the world's people， mainly in the least-developed countries and small island developing states， are still not covered by early warning systems，”said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. “In Africa， it is even worse with 60% of people lacking coverage. This isunacceptable， particularly with climate impacts sure to get even worse，”he said. “We must boost the po wer of prediction for everyone and build their capacity to act.”On March 23， Guterres announced a joint project between the UN and the World Meteorological Organization to make sure that developing countries have the same early warning systems as wealthy countries. He charged the WMO to have an “action plan”for the project by November， to present at the UN climate conference in Egypt， and to complete the project within the optimistic five years.According to the UN， the WMO will build on many of its existing programs， like a multi-hazard alert system for events like cyclones （旋風），flooding， fires， and coastal inundation （淹没）.Plans have already been on the table， in response to a WMO study last year which showed that since 1970， a climate or water-related disaster has occurred daily on average， with a mean average of 115 deaths and $200 million in calculable damage every day.Just not long before， an immense tornado tore through New Orleans， that city's third major weather disaster since Katrina. Kauai was under a flash flood watch， and several Alabama counties were flooded. At least two were dead， and that，s with every warning system available in the developed world. Warning systems are necessary everywhere as extreme weather events grow ever more frequent.Reading Check1. How many of the world's population are now covered by early warning systems？A. One second.B. One third.C. Two thirds.D. Four fifths.2. What's Antonio Guterres' tone like in paragraph 3？A. Delighted.B. Concerned.C. Curious.D. Humorous.3. What did WMO's study last year probably focus on？A. The “action plan”put forward by the UN.B. The causes of climate change in recent years.C. The damage caused by natural disasters worldwide.D. The coverage of early warning systems in poor countries.4. What does the underlined word “Katrina“refer to in the last paragraph？A. A city.B. A tornado.C. A country.D. An organization.Language StudyI. Difficult sentence in the textPlans have already been on the table， in response to a WMO study last year which showed that since 1970， a climate or water-related disaster has occurred daily on average， with a mean average of 115 deaths and $200 million in calculable damage every day.作為对世界气象组织去年一项研究的回应，相关计划已经出台。
北京理工大学考博英语-3_真题-无答案
北京理工大学考博英语-3(总分100,考试时间90分钟)PART Ⅰ Reading ComprehensionIn this part there are four passages for you to read. After each passage there are five questions, below each of whom there are four answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark the corresponding letter with a pencil on the Machine-Scoring Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Many people believe the glare from snow causes snow blindness. Yet, dark glasses or not they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness, when exposed to several hours of "snow light".The United States Army has now determined that the glare from snow does not cause snow-blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man's eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of a snow-covered area So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscle aches. Nature balances this annoyance by producing more and more liquid which covers the eyeballs. The liquid covers the eyeballs in increasing quantity until vision blurs. And the result is total, even though temporary, snowblindness.Experiments led the Army to a simple method of **ing this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they **pletely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching through the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the man can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a solid white area is **e.1. The eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache because______.A. tears cover the eyeballsB. the eyes are annoyed by blinding sunlightC. the eyes are annoyed by blinding snowD. there is nothing to focus on2. When the eyes are sore, tears are produced to______.A. clear the visionB. remedy snowblindnessC. ease the annoyanceD. loosen the muscles3. Snow-blindness may be avoided by______.A. concentration on the solid white areaB. providing the eyes with something to focus onC. searching for something to look at in snow-covered areasD. covering the eyeballs with liquid4. The first paragraph is mainly concerned with______.A. snow glare and snow blindnessB. the whiteness from snowC. headaches, watering eyes and snowb lindnessD. the need for dark glasses5. A suitable title for this passage would be______.A. Snowblindness and How to **e ItB. Nature' s Cure for SnowblindnessC. Soldiers in the SnowD. Snow VisionThere are great careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people Who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. And these "generalists" are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people' s work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a "trained" man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist-and especially the administrator-deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an "educated" man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation.Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you-but this is a pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.6. There is an increasing demand for______.A. all-round people in their own fieldsB. people whose job is to organize other people' s workC. generalists whose educational background is either technical or professionalD. specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others7. The specialist is______.A. a man whose job is to train other peopleB. a man who has been trained in more than one fieldC. a man who can see the forest rather that the treesD. a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters8. The administrator is______.A. a "trained" man who is more a specialist than a generalistB. a man who sees the tress as well as the forestC. a man who is very strong in the humanitiesD. a man who is an "educated" specialist9. During your training period it is important______.A. to try to be a generalistB. to choose a profitable jobC. to find an organization which fits youD. to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist10. A man's first job______.A. is never the right job for himB. should not be regarded as his final jobC. should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any jobD. is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobThe world's population continues to grow. There now are about 4 billion of us on earth. That could reach 6 billion by the end of the century and 11 billion in another 75 years. Experts long have been concerned about such growth Where will we find the food, water, jobs, houses, schools and health care for all these people?A major new study shows that the situation may be changing. A large and rapid drop in the world's birth rate has taken place during the past 10 years. Families generally are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing and industrial nations, Researchers said they found a number of reasons for this. More men and women are waiting longer to get married and are using birth control devices and methods to prevent or delay pregnancy. More women are going to school or working at jobs away from their homes instead of having children. And more governments, especially in developing nations, now support family planning programs to reduce population growth. China is one of the nations that has made great progress in reducing its population growth.China has already cut its rate of population growth by about one half since 1970. China now urges each family to have no more than one child. And it hopes to reach zero population growth, the number of births equaling the number of deaths, by the year 2000.Several nations in Europe already have fewer births than deaths. Experts said that these nations could face a serious shortage of workers in the future. And the persons who are working could face much higher taxes to help support the growing number of retired people.11. In Paragraph one, the sentence "Experts Dong have been concerned about such growth", the phrase "concerned about" is similar in meaning to______.A. worried aboutB. related toC. engaged inD. made a study of12. "Family planning programs" means______.A. birth control policy in a countryB. economic policy in a familyC. TV programs designed for a familyD. economic policy in a country13. The world's birth rate has dropped because______.A. people marry at a much later timeB. more birth control devices and methods have been usedC. women would rather go to study or work than have childrenD. all the above reasons are true14. By the year 2000, the number of births and the number of deaths in China will______.A. be greatly differentB. be equal to each otherC. drop a great dealD. become much larger15. Some time in the future, the people who are working in Europe would have to pay much higher taxes because______.A. more and more children will be bornB. fewer and fewer children will be bornC. they will be making a lot of moneyD. the number of retired people will become ever lingerWhen I was walking down the street the other day, I happened to notice a small brown leather wallet lying on the sidewalk. I picked it up and opened it to see if I could find out the owner's name. There was nothing inside it except some change and an old photograph-a picture of a woman and a young gift about twelve years old, who looked like the woman's daughter. I put the photograph back and took the wallet to the police station, where I handed it to the desk sergeant. Before I left, the sergeant took down my name and address in case the owner might want to write and thank me.That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle. They had also invited a young woman so that there would be four people at the table. Her face was familiar. I was quite sure that we had not met before, but I couldn' t remember where I had seen her. In the course of conversation, however, the young woman happened to mention that she had lost her wallet that afternoon. All at once I realized where I had seen her. She was the young girl in the photograph, although she was now much older. She was very surprised, of course, when I was able to describe her wallet to her. Then I explained that I had recognized her from the photograph I had found in the wallet. My uncle insisted on going to the police station immediately to claim the wallet. As the police sergeant handed it over, he said that it was amazing that I had not only found the wallet, but also the person who had lost it.16. The wallet which the writer found______.A. was emptyB. had some money in itC. had a few coins and a photograph in itD. had an old photograph in it17. The writer opened the wallet because he wanted to ______ in it.A. find some moneyB. find some goldC. find the owner' s nameD. find the owner' s photograph18. The writer recognized the young woman because______.A. he had met her somewhere beforeB. she was the old woman in the photographC. she often had dinner with his aunt and uncleD. she looked like the young girl in the photograph19. The young woman told of her loss of the wallet______.A. at the beginning of the dinnerB. during the conversationC. as soon as she saw the writerD. after the dinner20. The story was amazing because______.A. the writer found both the wallet and its ownerB. the finder and the loser of the wallet were old friendsC. the finder and the loser of the wallet met at the police stationD. the woman knew the writer and his unclePART Ⅱ TranslationSection A: Translate the following short paragraphs into Chinese.21. Opinion polls are now beginning to show an unwilling general agreement that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on, high unemployment is probably here to stay. This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment widely.22. But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many other ways for self respecting? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office as centers of production and work?23. The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people's work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a discouraging thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows has not meant economic freedom.24. Employment became widespread when the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people's homes. Later, as transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people traveled longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people's work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they lived.Section B :Translate the following paragraph into English.25. 现在，成千上万的美国人沉湎于对身材苗条的追求之中。

人口增长英语作文
人口增长英语作文The world's population is growing at an alarming rate. It seems like every time you turn around, there are more and more people on the planet. This population growth is putting a strain on the earth's resources and leading to overcrowding in many areas.There are a few reasons for this rapid population growth. First of all, advances in medicine and healthcare have led to longer lifespans, meaning that more people are living longer and having more children. Additionally, in many developing countries, large families are seen as a sign of wealth and status, leading to higher birth rates.The consequences of this population growth are far-reaching. As the population increases, so does the demand for food, water, and energy. This puts a strain on the earth's resources and can lead to shortages and price increases. Additionally, overcrowding in cities can lead to increased pollution and decreased quality of life forresidents.In order to address this issue, it's important for governments and organizations to focus on family planning and education. By providing access to contraception and information about family planning, individuals can make informed choices about the size of their families. Additionally, education about the environmental impact of overpopulation can help to encourage smaller families and more sustainable lifestyles.Overall, the rapid growth of the world's population is a significant issue that needs to be addressed. By focusing on family planning and education, we can work towards a more sustainable future for the planet and its inhabitants.。
世界的变化作文英文带翻译
世界的变化作文英文带翻译英文：The world is constantly changing, and this change can be seen in many aspects of our lives. One of the most noticeable changes is the advancement of technology. When I was a child, we didn't have smartphones or social media. We had to rely on landline phones and face-to-face communication. Now, I can't imagine my life without my smartphone. It has become an essential part of my daily routine, from checking emails to connecting with friends on social media.Another significant change is the way we work. With the rise of remote work and flexible hours, many people are no longer tied to a traditional office setting. This has allowed me to have a better work-life balance and the freedom to work from anywhere. It's amazing how technology has made this possible.Furthermore, the world's population has also changed dramatically. When I was younger, the world's population was around 6 billion. Now, it's over 7.8 billion. This has led to increased competition for resources and a greater focus on sustainability and conservation.In addition, the way we consume information and entertainment has shifted. Streaming services like Netflix and Spotify have revolutionized the way we watch movies and listen to music. I remember going to the video rental store to pick out a movie, but now I can simply stream it from the comfort of my own home.Overall, the world is evolving at a rapid pace, andit's important to adapt to these changes in order to thrive in this ever-changing landscape.中文：世界在不断变化，这种变化可以在我们生活的许多方面看到。

介绍中国未来英语作文
介绍中国未来英语作文China's Future: A Look Ahead。
China has come a long way since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. The country has experienced unprecedented economic growth and development over the past few decades, and has become a major player on the world stage. As China continues to grow and evolve, it is important to take a closer look at what the future holds for this vast and complex nation.One of the key factors that will shape China's future is the country's ongoing economic development. China's economy has been growing at a breakneck pace for the past few decades, but there are signs that this growth may be slowing down. The government has been working to shift the focus of the economy away from heavy industry and towards services and high-tech industries, in order to promote sustainable growth. This shift will require significant investments in education and research, as well as acontinued focus on innovation and entrepreneurship.Another major factor that will shape China's future is the country's demographic changes. China's population is aging rapidly, with the number of people over the age of 65 expected to double by 2050. This will have significant implications for the country's healthcare system, as well as for its economy and social structure. The governmentwill need to find ways to support an aging population while also promoting economic growth and development.China's environmental challenges will also play a significant role in the country's future. China is one of the world's largest polluters, and the government has been working to address this issue by investing in renewable energy and promoting sustainable development. However, there is still a long way to go, and China will need to continue to prioritize environmental protection in order to ensure a sustainable future for its citizens.Finally, China's role on the world stage will continue to evolve in the coming years. China has already become amajor player in international politics and economics, and its influence is only likely to grow in the future. The government will need to balance its domestic priorities with its global responsibilities, and find ways to work with other nations to address pressing global issues such as climate change, terrorism, and economic inequality.In conclusion, China's future is likely to be shaped by a range of factors, including economic development, demographic changes, environmental challenges, and global politics. The government will need to navigate these challenges carefully in order to ensure a prosperous and sustainable future for the country and its people. With the right policies and investments, however, China has the potential to continue to grow and evolve, and to become an even more influential player on the world stage.。

中美差异英语作文初二作文As the world's two largest economies, China and the United States have always been closely watched by the international community. However, with the development of globalization, the differences between China and the United States have become increasingly prominent, especially in terms of culture, politics and economy.Firstly, there are significant differences in cultural values between China and the United States. China is a country with a long history and a rich cultural heritage. Its traditional culture emphasizes the importance of harmony, collectivism and respect for authority. In contrast, the United States is a relatively young country with a diverse culture. Its culture emphasizes individualism, democracy and freedom. These differences have led to different attitudes towards social issues, such as the role of government, human rights and family values.Secondly, there are differences in political systemsbetween China and the United States. China is a socialist country with a one-party system, while the United States is a democratic country with a two-party system. The Chinese government is centralized and has strong control over the economy and society, while the American government is decentralized and has a relatively weak control over the economy and society. These differences have led todifferent approaches to governance, such as economic policy, social welfare and international relations.Finally, there are differences in economic development between China and the United States. China is the world's second largest economy, with a focus on manufacturing and exports. The United States is the world's largest economy, with a focus on service and technology. China has a large population and a low labor cost, while the United Stateshas a highly skilled workforce and advanced technology. These differences have led to different economic structures, trade policies and investment strategies.In conclusion, the differences between China and the United States are complex and multifaceted, and have bothpositive and negative effects on the two countries and the world as a whole. It is important for both countries to respect each other's differences, seek common ground and work together to promote mutual understanding and cooperation.。
人与环境关系有关英语稿
Good morning，everybody！We are group D, today what we are talking about is the Evolution of the Relationship Between Man and NatureNow, let's get started：First of all, let's take a look at the production of agricultural period,comparing to the original collection and hunting period of the world's population and growth comparison chart. From it we can see: In civilizated agricultural era,the population grow rapidly. That is to say, the agricultural civilization has given birth to more people. At the same time, to meet the needs of population growth, people need more land to be reclamated, which is a process of interaction between agriculture and population. Next, let's look at some pictures. We can see that, in this process, there is no doubt that agriculture has been developed, the human race has grown. However, the transformation of nature and destructive also increased. Due to the strengthening transformation natural ability, human would no longer being as primitive hunting who in fear of nature. At that moment, people still didn't realize that destroying the natural human being will cause serious consequences.With the development of agriculture, human gradually entered the industrial era. Coal, oil, natural gas and other non-renewable resources of a large number of mining provides ample power for industrial development. Society has changed dramatically. As Marx says, "capitalism at its rule of less than one hundred creates productivity, all generations than in the past all the more productivity, more lar ger." But we also should realized that behind the productivity and huge breakthrough of the industrial revolution, it also brought out a series of problems, such as environmental damage, excessive exploitation of energy resources, industrial pollution, etc. As shown in pictures.. .The development of productivity make people mistakenly assume that human beings can conquer nature, dominate nature, so they began the endlessly mining of natural, wanton destruction and pollution.When humans are proud for their own creativity, a series of problems needed faced . Such as global warming, rising sea levels, frequent natural disasters, energy resources dry up sooner, the industrial pollution does harm to people's health, etc. ( pictures). Humans began to realize tha t the idea want to conquering the nature is actually wrong. Considering the long-term development of the human, we should get along well with the nature harmonious. However,society needed to be developed.According to experience we have learnt, we inevitabl y sacrifice environment for development. Therefore, people began to concern about how to solve this contradiction,to achieve the goal of sustainable development?When thinking about this problem, because of the development of heavy industry,gradually we already entered the post-industrial era. The third industry develops rapidly, the core strength of science and technology more and more prominent in the copmpetition. People found that relying on the development of science and technology can help to get rid of the constraints of energy resources, also can solve the pollution problems which cause by the previous development (pictures). So we found a new way to solve the problem of human development and natural environment----science and technology. People gradually change their mind about the development ---- relying on the strength of science and technology is the only way to achieve sustainable development.We can learn that: science and technology is a kind of means, is guidance for us. Also, achieving the harmonious development of man and nature is the ultimate goal. On the one hand, people rely on technology, multimedia communication and deepen the environmental protection concept (pictures); On the other hand, with the guidance of ideas, people start to focus on the development of advanced science and technology to save energy resources,to control environmental pollutionand keep healthy, etc. (pictures). We believe that the concept' progresses and development of science and technology, both of them will promote each other, finally help us to realize the harmonious development of human and nature.However, as a college student, as a creature on the earth, we should take our responsibility. What we can do is:1. Use our knowledge and ideas to spread the concept of environmental protection,2. Start from the little thing that we can do, for energy conservation and emissions reduction.3. try our best to learn scientific and cultural technology, completes the wealth of knowledge reserves, to cultivate their creative thinking, lay a foundation for the scientific and technological innovation...All in all, protecting the earth, is everyone's responsibility. The last green leaf in the world, is our food; the last drop of water in the world, it is our tears,this ,should never happen.These are our topic about " ", thank you all!。
二外英语4 课后段落翻译
Unit 1The society is constantly changing and the objective world poses challenges all the time. As a result, we must seize the opportunity, change so as to adapt to social changes and be flexible in using the correct approach to overcoming difficulties and challenges. At the same time, we should also retain the moral values and ideals in our hearts and not change with the environment. The university today places great emphasis on student s’ knowledge development and faculty’s achievements in research. But i n seeking to enhance one’s “Hard Power”, which includes the pursuit of professional knowledge and social status, one must develop one’s “Soft Power”, including moral standards, wisdom and compassion as well. The joint development of “Hard Power”and “Soft Power” is crucial for the improvement of university education.Unit 2Charitable giving plays an even larger role in the economy than is suggested by some$260 billion in annual contributions. The philanthropy of the wealthy may not hinge on tax incentives to the degree many believe. In one new survey, a majority of wealthy givers say they would contribute the same amount if the estate tax were abolished. Some experts see charity as a defining trait of the US, more than consumerism or business. Charity pays off for society in ways that may transcend the rates of return on many traditional investments. It is not just that charity helps those on the receiving end. It also strengthens the cohesion of society at large. Moreover, it appears to make the givers themselves more successful, possibly because the activity transforms them somewhat into better or happier people.Unit 4Several hundred years ago, people had an ulterior notion that different languages indicated different social status. As King Charles V o f Spain put it, “I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men and German to my horse.”Today the majority of people focus their attention on mastering one particular language, the English language. Time magazine recently suggested that by the turn of the millennium, English would be the Lingua Franca for one quarter of the world’s population. T oday sixty percent of the world’s television and radio broadcasts are produced and delivered in English. Seventy percent of the world’s mail s are addressed in English. And it is the language of choice for almost every bite of computer data sent across the globe.Unit 5What is real enthusiasm? In your quest for success, enthusiasm means that you believe deeply in what the company is doing. Y ou also believe that your job is important and contributes to the cause. It means that you’re willing to give up your dreams to achieve the company’s goals.Enthusiasm means that you are stimulated by your work, and are able to find new challenge and keep growing professionally. Furthermore, most jobs have some elements that are less fun and more difficult to carry out. This is where your passion isreally needed. When you love what you do, it isn’t too difficult to get cheered up and get the job done. The hard part is performing equally well in those less interesting tasks.Unit 6Apparently, many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more she or he accomplishes. However, the connection between time and productivity is not always positive. In fact, many studies indicate that after a certain point, anyone’s productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Furthermore, it is not always easy for individuals to realize that their performance is falling off.People do not work long hours only for more money. In such fields as advertising, show business, and journalism, the glamour and publicity are worth more than any monetary benefit. On the other hand, many employees are not willing to spend so much extra, unproductive time at the office. Once they finish their work satisfactorily, they want to relax and enjoy themselves. For these people, the solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.。

• ♂ an aging population
we can curb population growth counting on family planning policy, but we can not stop the trend that our nationals are becoming more and more elder. Some people worried that China will grow old before it grows wealthy. So some suggestions nowdays are also proposed that chinese family planning policy should be more slack to meet the challenge. This maybe need our government to take it seriously.
