二十四节气（6月）
芒种（grain in ear） 芒种——麦类等有芒作物成熟，夏种开始。
是⼆⼗四节⽓中的第九个节⽓，每年的6⽉5⽇左右为芒种。
太阳到达黄经75°。
《⽉令七⼗⼆候集解》：“五⽉节，谓有芒之种⾕可稼种矣”。
意指⼤麦、⼩麦等有芒作物种⼦已经成熟，抢收⼗分急迫。
晚⾕、⿉、稷等夏播作物也正是播种最忙的季节，故⼜称“芒种”。
春争⽇，夏争时，“争时”即指这个时节的收种农忙。
⼈们常说“三夏”⼤忙季节，即指忙于夏收、夏种和春播作物的夏管。
故⽽，“芒种”也称为——“忙着种”，是农民朋友的播种、下地最为繁忙的时机。
我国古代将芒种分为三候：“⼀候螳螂⽣；⼆候鹏始鸣；三候反⾆⽆声。
”在这⼀节⽓中，螳螂在去年深秋产的卵因感受到阴⽓初⽣⽽破壳⽣出⼩螳螂；喜阴的伯劳鸟开始在枝头出现，并且感阴⽽鸣；与此相反，能够学习其它鸟鸣叫的反⾆鸟，却因感应到了阴⽓的出现⽽停⽌了鸣叫。
芒种是表征麦类等有芒作物的成熟，是⼀个反映农业物候现象的节⽓。
时⾄芒种，四川盆地麦收季节已经过去，中稻、红苕移栽接近尾声。
⼤部地区中稻进⼊返青阶段，秧苗嫩绿，⼀派⽣机。
“ 东风染尽三千顷，折鹭飞来⽆处停 ” 的诗句，⽣动的描绘了这时⽥野的秀丽景⾊。
到了芒种时节，盆地内尚未移栽的中稻，应该抓紧栽插；如果再推迟，因⽓温提⾼，⽔稻营养⽣长期缩短，⽽且⽣长阶段⼜容易遭受⼲旱和病⾍害，产量必然不⾼。
红苕移栽⾄迟也要赶在夏⾄之前；如果栽苕过迟，不但⼲旱的影响会加重，⽽且待到秋来时温度下降，不利于薯块膨⼤，产量亦将明显降低。
农谚“ 芒种忙忙栽 ” 的道理就在这⾥。
芒种的“芒”字，是指麦类等有芒植物的收获，芒种的“种”字，是指⾕⿉类作物播种的节令。
“芒种”⼆字谐⾳，表明⼀切作物都在“忙种”了。
《⽉令七⼗⼆候集解》中：“五⽉节，谓有芒之种⾕可稼种矣。
”每年的阳历6⽉6⽇前后，太阳到达黄经 75 度时开始。
这时，我国长江中下游地区进⼊黄梅季节。
梅⾬的⼀般天⽓特点是⾬⽇多、⾬量⼤，温度⾼，⽇照少，有时还伴有低温。

You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Scientists recently examined studies on dog intelligence and compared them with research into the minds of other intelligent animals. The researchers found that dogs are among the more intelligent carnivores(食肉动物),social hunters and domestic animals, but that their intelligence does not 26 other intelligent animals in any of those categories. Though a significant body of research has examined dog cognition 27 , the authors of this new study found little to warrant the 28 of work that has been devoted to the topic.Stephen Lea, lead author of the new study, argues that many researchers seem to have designed their studies to 29 how clever dogs are, rather than simply to study dogs' brains. Lea and a colleague examined more than 300 studies of dog cognition, comparing the studies' results with those from research into other animals. The researchers made specific comparisons between the different species in different categories of intelligence. These comparisons 30 that dogs are intelligent, but their intelligence is not as 31 as some researchers might have believed.In many areas, though, comparisons were not possible. For example, the researchers noted that both dogs and cats are known to be able to recognize and 32 human voices. But the investigators could not find any data to indicate which species can remember a greater number of 33 human voices, so it was impossible to compare the two on that front. However, not all researchers agree 34 with the findings of this study. Zachary Silver, an American researcher, believes the authors of the new study 35 the idea that an excessive amount of research has been devoted to dogs, as the field of dog cognition is young, and there is much to be learned about how dogs think.Section BDirections; In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attachedto it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The lifesaving power of gratitudeA)Gratitude may be more beneficial than we commonly suppose. One recent study asked participants to write a note of thanks to someone and then estimate how surprised and happy the recipient would feel-an impact that they consistently underestimated. Another study assessed the health benefits of writing thank-you notes. The researchers found that writing as few as three weekly thank-you notes over the course of three weeks improved life satisfaction, increased happy feelings and reduced symptoms of depression.B)While this research into gratitude is relatively new, the principles involved are anything but. Students of mine in a political philosophy course at Indiana University are reading Daniel Defoe's 300-year-old Robinson Crusoe, often regarded as the first novel published in English. Left alone on an unknown island with no apparent prospect of rescue or escape, Crusoe has much to lament (悲叹). But instead of giving in to despair, he makes a list of things for which he is grateful, including the fact that he is the sole survivor from the shipwreck(海难)and has been able to salvage many useful items from the wreckage.C)Defoe's masterpiece, which is often ranked as one of the world's greatest novels, provides a portrait of gratitude in action that is as timely and relevant today as it has ever been. It is also one with which contemporary psychology and medicine are just beginning to catch up. Simply put, for most of us, it is far more helpful to focus on the things in life for which we can express gratitude than those that incline us toward resentment and lamentation.D)When we focus on the things we regret, such as failed relationships, family disputes, and setbacks in career and finance, we tend to become more regretful. Conversely, when we focus on the things we are grateful for, a greater sense of happiness tends to spread through our lives. And while no one would argue for cultivating a false sense of blessedness, there is mounting evidence that counting our blessings is one of the best habits we can develop to promote mental and physical health.E) Gratitude has long enjoyed a privileged position in many of the world's cultural traditions. For example, some ancient Western philosophers counsel gratitude that is both enduring and complete, and some Eastern thinkers portray it as not merely an attitude but a virtue to be put into practice.F)Recent scientific studies support these ancient teachings. Individuals who regularly engage in gratitude exercises, such as counting their blessings or expressing gratitude to others, exhibit increased satisfaction with relationships and fewer symptoms of physical illness. And the benefits are not only psychological and physical. They may also be moral—those who practice gratitude also view their lives less materialistically and suffer from less envy.G) There are multiple explanations for such benefits of gratefulness. One is the fact that expressing gratitude encourages others to continue being generous, thus promoting a virtuous cycle of goodnessin relationships. Similarly, grateful people may be more likely to reciprocate(回报) with acts of kindness of their own. Broadly speaking, a community in which people feel grateful to one another is likely to be a more pleasant place to live than one characterized by mutual suspicion and resentment. The beneficial effects of gratitude may extend even further. For example, when many people feel good about what someone else has done for them, they experience a sense of being lifted up, with a corresponding enhancement of their regard for humanity. Some are inspired to attempt to become better people themselves, doing more to help bring out the best in others and bringing more goodness into the world around them.H) Gratitude also tends to strengthen a sense of connection with others. When people want to do good things that inspire gratitude, the level of dedication in relationships tends to grow and relationships seem to last longer. And when people feel more connected, they are more likely to choose to spend their time with one another and demonstrate their feelings of affection in daily acts.I ) Of course, acts of kindness can also foster discomfort. For example, if people feel they are not worthy of kindness or suspect that some ulterior (别有用心的)motive lies behind it, the benefits of gratitude will not be realized. Likewise, receiving a kindness can give rise to a sense of indebtedness, leaving beneficiaries feeling that they must now pay back whatever good they have received. Gratitude can flourish only if people are secure enough in themselves and sufficiently trusting to allow it to do so. Another obstacle to gratitude is often called a sense of entitlement. Instead of experiencing a benefaction(善行)as a good turn, people sometimes regard it as a mere payment of what they are owed, for which no one deserves any moral credit.J) There are a number of practical steps anyone can take to promote a sense of gratitude. One is simply spending time on a regular basis thinking about someone who has made a difference, or perhaps writing a thank-you note or expressing such gratitude in person. Others are found in ancient religious disciplines, such as reflecting on benefactions received from another person or actually praying for the health and happiness of a benefactor. In addition to benefactions received, it is also possible to focus on opportunities to do good oneself, whether those acted on in the past or hoped for in the future. Some people are most grateful not for what others have done for them but for chances they enjoyed to help others. In regularly reflecting on the things in his life he is grateful for, Defoe's Crusoe believes that he becomes a far better person than he would have been had he remained in the society from which he originally set out on his voyage.K)Reflecting on generosity and gratitude, the great basketball coach John Wooden once offered two counsels to his players and students. First, he said, "It is impossible to have a perfect day unless you have done something for someone who will never be able to repay you.” In saying this, Wooden sought to promote purely generous acts, as opposed to those performed with an expectation of reward. Second, he said, "Give thanks for your blessings every day."L) Some faith traditions incorporate such practices into the rhythm of daily life. For example, adherents of some religions offer prayers of thanksgiving every morning before rising and every night before lying down to sleep. Others offer thanks throughout the day, such as before meals. Other less frequent special events, such as births, deaths and marriages, may also be heralded byM)When Defoe depicted Robinson Crusoe making thanksgiving a daily part of his island life, he was anticipating findings in social science and medicine that would not appear for hundreds of years. Yet he was also reflecting the wisdom of religious and philosophical traditions that extend back thousands of years. Gratitude is one of the healthiest and most nourishing of all states of mind, and those who adopt it as a habit are enriching not only their own lives but also the lives of those around them.36. It does us far more good to focus on things we can be grateful for than what makes us sad and resentful.37.The beneficial impacts of gratitude can extend from individuals to their community and to the wider society.38. The participants in a recent study repeatedly underestimated the positive effect on those who received thank-you notes.39. Good deeds can sometimes make people feel uncomfortable.40.People who regularly express gratitude can benefit in moral terms.41. A basketball coach advocated performing generous acts without expecting anything in return.42.More and more evidence shows it makes us mentally and physically healthier to routinely count our blessings.43. Of all states of mind, feeling grateful is considered one of the most healthy and beneficial.44.The principles underlying the research into gratitude are nothing new at all.45. Gratitude is likely to enhance one's sense of being connected with other people.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Technology is never a neutral tool for achieving human ends. Technological innovations reshape people as they use these innovations to control their environment. Artificial intelligence, for example, is altering humanity.While the term AI conjures up anxieties about killer robots or catastrophic levels of unemployment, there are other, deeper implications. As AI increasingly shapes the human experience, how does this change what it means to be human? Central to the problem is a person's capacity to make choices, particularly judgments that have moral implications.Aristotle argued that the capacity for making practical judgments depends on regularly making them—on habit and practice. We see the emergence of machines as substitute judges in a variety of everyday contexts as a potential threat to people learning how to effectively exercise judgmentIn the workplace, managers routinely make decisions about who to hire or fire and which loan to approve, to name a few. These are areas where algorithmic(算法的)prescription is replacing human judgment, and so people who might have had the chance to develop practical judgment in these areas no longer will.Recommendation engines, which are increasingly prevalent intermediaries in people's consumption of culture, may serve to constrain choice and minimize luck. By presenting consumers with algorithmically selected choices of what to watch, read, stream and visit next, companies are replacing human taste with machine taste. In one sense, this is helpful. After all, machines can survey a wider range of choices than any individual is likely to have the time or energy to do on their own.At the same time, though, this selection is optimizing for what people are likely to prefer based on what they've preferred in the past. We think there is some risk that people's options will be constrained by their past in a new and unanticipated way.As machine learning algorithms improve and as they train on more extensive data sets, larger parts of everyday life are likely to become utterly predictable. The predictions are going to get better and better, and they will ultimately make common experiences more efficient and pleasant.Algorithms could soon—if they don't already—have a better idea about which show you'd like to watch next and which job candidate you should hire than you do. One day, humans may even find a way for machines to make these decisions without some of the biases that humans typically display.But to the extent that unpredictability is part of how people understand themselves and part of what people like about themselves, humanity is in the process of losing something significant. As they become more and more predictable, the creatures inhabiting the increasingly AI-mediated world will become less and less like us.46.What do we learn about the deeper implications of AI?A) It is causing catastrophic levels of unemployment.B) It is doing physical harm to human operators.C)It is altering moral judgments.D) It is reshaping humanity.47. What is the consequence of algorithmic prescription replacing human judgment?A) People lose the chance to cultivate the ability to make practical judgments.B) People are prevented from participating in making major decisions in the workplace.C)Managers no longer have the chance to decide which loan to approve.D) Managers do not need to take the trouble to determine who to hire or fire.48.What may result from increasing application of recommendation engines in our consumption ofculture?A)Consumers will have much limited choice. C) It will be easier to decide on what to enjoy.B)Consumers will actually enjoy better luck. D) Humans will develop tastes similar to machines'.49. What is likely to happen to larger parts of our daily life as machine learning algorithms improve?A) They will turn out to be more pleasant. C)They can be completely anticipated.B) They will repeat our past experience. D)They may become better and better.50. Why does the author say the creatures living in the more and more AI-mediated world will become increasingly unlike us?A) They will have lost the most significant human element of being intelligent.B) They will no longer possess the human characteristic of being unpredictable.C) They will not be able to understand themselves as we can do today.D) They will be deprived of what their predecessors were proud of about themselves.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Phonics, which involves sounding out words syllable(音节)by syllable, is the best way to teach children to read. But in many classrooms, this can be a dirty word. So much so that some teachers have had to sneak phonics teaching materials into the classroom. Most American children are taught to read in a way that study after study has found to be wrong.The consequences of this are striking. Less than half of all American adults were proficient readers in2017. American fourth graders rank 15th on the Progress in International Literacy Study, an international exam.America is stuck in a debate about teaching children to read that has been going on for decades. Some advocate teaching symbol-sound relationships (the sound k can be spelled as c, k, ck, or ch), known as phonics. Others support an immersive approach (using pictures of a cat to learn the word cat), known as "whole language". Most teachers today, almost three out of four according to a survey by the EdWeek Research Centre in 2019, use a mix called "balanced literacy". This combination of methods is ineffective. "You can't sprinkle in a little phonics," says Tenette Smith, executive director of elementary education and reading at Mississippi's education department. "It has to be systematic and explicitly taught."Mississippi, often behind in social policy, has set an example here. In a state once notorious for its low reading scores, the Mississippi state legislature passed new literacy standards in 2013. Since then Mississippi has seen remarkable gains. Its fourth graders have moved from 49th (out of 50 states) to 29th on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a nationwide exam. In 2019 it was the only state to improve its scores. For the first time since measurement began, Mississippi's pupils are now average readers, a remarkable achievement in such a poor state.Mississippi's success is attributed to implementing reading methods supported by a body of researchknown as the science of reading. In 1997 Congress requested the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the Department of Education to convene a National Reading Panel to end the "reading wars" and synthesize the evidence. The panel found that phonics, along with explicit instruction in phonemic (音位的)awareness, fluency and comprehension, worked best.Yet over two decades on,"balanced literacy" is still being taught in classrooms. But advances in statistics and brain imaging have disproved the whole-language method. To the teacher who is a proficient reader, literacy seems like a natural process that requires educated guessing, rather than the deliberate process emphasized by phonics. Teachers can imagine that they learned to read through osmosis(潜移默化)when they were children. Without proper training, they bring this to classrooms.51. What do we learn about phonics in many American classrooms?A)It is ill reputed.B)It is mostly misapplied.C) It is arbitrarily excluded.D) It is misrepresented.52. What has America been witnessing for decades?A) An obsession with innovating teaching methodologies of reading.B)An enduring debate over the approach to teaching children to read.C)An increasing concern with many children's inadequacy in literacy.D) An ever-forceful advocacy of a combined method for teaching reading.53.Why does Tenette Smith think a combination of teaching methods is ineffective?A)Elementary school children will be frustrated when taught with several methods combined.B)Phonics has to be systematically applied and clearly taught to achieve the desired effect.C)Sprinkling in a little phonics deters the progress of even adequately motivated children.D) Balanced literacy fails to sustain children's interest in developing a good reading habit.54. What does the author say Mississippi's success is attributed to?A)Convening a National Reading Panel to synthesize research evidence.B)Placing sufficient emphasis upon both fluency and comprehension.C)Adopting scientifically grounded approaches to teaching reading.D)Obtaining support from Congress to upgrade teaching methods.55. What have advances in statistics and brain imaging proved ineffective?A)The teaching of symbol-sound relationships. C)Efforts to end the reading wars.B)Explicit instruction in phonemic awareness. D)The immersive approach.Part IV (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

Part Writing (30 minutes)Ⅰno more than 200 words.<!--[endif]-->The Three-Year SolutionHartwick College, a small liberal-arts school in upstate New York, makes New York, makes this offer to well prepared students: earn your undergraduate degree in three years instead of four, and save about 543,000—the amount of one year’s tuition and fees. A number of innovativeBut many colleges and universities are stuck in the past. For instance, the idea of thefall-to-spring“schoolyear”hasn’t changed much since before the American Revolution, when we were a summer stretch no longer makes sense. Former George Washington University president Stephen Trachtenberg estimates that a typical college uses its facilities for academic purposes a little more than half the calendar year.“While college facilities sit idle, they continue to generate maintenance expenses that contribute to the high cost of running a college,” he has written.Congress has tried to help students with college costs through Pell Grants and other forms of tuition support. But some of their fixes have made the problem worse. The stack of congressional regulations governing federal student grants and loans now stands twice as tall as I do. Filling out these forms consumes 7% of every tuition dollar.For all of these reasons, some colleges like Hartwick are rethinking the old way of doing things and questioning decades-old assumptions about what a college degree means. For instance, why does it have to take four years to earn a diploma? This fall, 16 first-year students and four second-year students at Hartwick enrolled in the school’s new three year degree program.According to the college, the plan is designed for high-ability, highly motivated student who wish to save money or to move along more rapidly toward advanced degrees.By eliminating that extra year, there year degree students save 25% in costs. Instead of taking 30 credits a year, these students take 40. During January, Hartwick runs a four week course during which students may earn three to four credits on or off campus, including a number ofinternational sites. Summer courses are not required, but a student may enroll in them—and payextra. Three year students get first crack at course registration. There are no changes in the number of courses professors teach or in their pay.The three-year degree isn’t a new idea. Geniuses have always breezed through. JudsonCollege, a 350-student institution in Alabama, has offered students a three-year option for40 years. Students attend “short terms” in May and June to earn the credits required for graduation. Bates College in Maine and Ball State University in Indiana are among othercolleges offering three-year options.Advanced Placement (AP) credits amounting to a semester or more of college level work.Many universities, including large schools like the University of Texas, make it easy for these AP students to graduate faster.professor’s class. Iowa’s Waldorf College has graduated several hundred students in its three-year degree program, but it now phasing out the option. Most Waldorf students wanted the fullfour-year experience—academically, socially, and athletically. And faculty members will bewary of any change that threatens the core curriculum in the name of moving students into the workforce.Expanding the three-year option may be difficult, but it may be less difficult than asking bright, motivated students. These sorts of innovations can help American universities avoid the perils of success.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

【篇⼀】交通问题 There is no doubt that traffic congestion becomes a growing worry for the residents of most urban areas. Some major roads are regularly choked with traffic in rush hours. The limited transport capacity contributes largely to the vexing problem. How to solve the headache?. The existing solutions to traffic jam mainly aim at creating metro bus systems and broadening major roads. Widening the existing roads can solve traffic snarls on some level. Soaring car ownership compounds the chronic annoying problem, so we must sharply reduce the heavy reliance on cars and drive a shift to the mass transportation. It is a cheap and good way. We can create a system of customized bus routes and highlight the development of subways, trolleys and light rail. The effective combination of these solutions will enable the urban areas to possess a smooth traffic.【篇⼆】保护⾮遗 Limiting tbe Buying of Cars or Not? Beijing has placed strict restriction on the number of newly purchased car in the city and the policy bas sparked heated discussion. Some people support the policy, saying it，s a powerful method to cope with the severe traffic congestion in the capital. With cars increasing drastically in the past few years, severe traffic jams occur not only in rush hours but at any time of the day now. Others, however, aie strongly against the limitations. They argue that the great number of official cars，which are frequently used, is a big factor causing traffic congestion. But the policy mainly aims at private cars and has no dear restrictions on the use of official cars. Besides, car purchase limitation would hinder the development of China's automobile industry，and more people would lose their jobs as a result. Personally, I think the restriction of buying and use of cars, official cars incladed, is inevitable and just a matter of time for Beijing. If the number of cars is not limited, there will be a huge disaster for the environment, road resources, the travel demands of normal people and the improvement of living standards.【篇三】5g背景介绍 China is expected to launch a commercial operation of 5G (5th generation) mobile networks in 2020, and to realize a large-scale application in 2022 or 2023, an expert with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of China said here in a recent interview with Xinhua. 中国将在2020年推出5G(第5代)移动络的商业运营，并在2022年或2023 年实现⼤规模应⽤，中国⼯业和信息化部(MIIT)的专家最近接受新华社记者采访时说。

Gold failed to appear. Drought ruinedfarmers, and settlers clashed with_NativeAmericans.On the settlement's location now stands asprawling University campus. Amid all thechanges, one feature remained constant: thepostal service. The maps tracing America'swestward expansion are telling in 1864 therewere few postat branches on land controlledby Native Americans, which still accountedfor most of the West. Over the next 25 years,post offices grew quickly. Colonization'of theWest could be regarded as a result of biggovernment rather than pioneers.【13】Asfederal subsidies and land grants temptedpeople into the deserts and plains, the postkept them connected.In the mid-19th century, the Post OfficeDepartment was far from a centralizedbureaucracy.

This week we will discuss asurprising reason why we might remember somethings, anxiety. Think about something as simple asbuying a coffee. That may not seem like an experience that would make a deep impression onyour memory. But anxiety could change that. Q16.In fact, a new study suggests that people withhigher anxiety levels might remembertertain information better than people with lower anxietylevels.That's because higher levels of anxiety may makepeople moresusceptible to negative feelings,putting them in a more negative state of mind. Thatin turn, may make them able to better remembersome events. Let's take a closer look at that newstudy now. Q17. In this study, tseardhersstarted by giving 80 undergraduate students ananxiety test. The test measure the participantsanxiety levels over the proceeding two weeks.Then, to test memory, the participants were showna series of neutral words one at a time. Some of thewords were printed onto photos of negative scenes,meaning images that could affect their emotionsnegatively, such as a photo of a car accident, or acemetery. The rest of the words were printed ontophotos of neutral scenes, such as a photo of a lakeor trees. Neutral words included words like table ordesk that don't elicit emotion.Later, the participants were asked to think back tothe words they were shown earlier, which causedthem to reenter either a negative or neutral mindset. The participants were then presented withanother set of neutral words, and their memory ofthese new words was tested.The researchers found that the new words presented to people in a negative mindset werebetter remembered by people with higher levels ofanxiety than those with lower levels of anxiety.In other words, when highly anxious individualstook in otherwise emotionally neutral informationthat was presented to them, it became colored bytheir negative mindset, making them remember theinformation better. But these same effects were notseen in people with low levels of anxiety.Q18. Previous studies havefound that extremeevels of anxiety such as those experienced bypeople diagnosed with an anxiety disorder can bequite detrimentalto memory and cognitive performan But the highly anxious people in thisstudy represent individuals who are managing theiranxiety and for whom anxiety is not. a seriousproblem.Question 16. What does the speaker say the newstudy suggests?Question 17. What did researchers do first in thenew study?Question 18. What do we learn from previousstudies aboutlanxiety?Over the past 20 years, the u ternet hasgradually become a dominant featureof our lives. It has changed how wecommunicate with each other. And ithas definitely transformed the way wedo business with each other:Marketinghas also changed in a number of ways.For instance, in the past, consumershad to call a phone number and patiently wait on hold in order to getthe information they wanted.[Q19]Today, they want the informationimmediately. They'll go to the company's sociaLmediapdc nifostcomments and questions expecting toreceive an immediate response. Iftheydon't get their questions answeredsoon they'll move on to anothercompany that will answer themquickly.Marketing departments today need tofollow technological development. Forexample, this year smartphone issmarter than last years. s fariving cars are now on the road. Marketershave to do research on which techncingies:are coming into bsing,otherwise, they risk being leit behindin the virtual dust.Marketing has also changed due to theimportance of video. People don't justwant to read text. They walt to watchthings happening. Companies now have to explore how they can use videoon a consistent basis to share information about their sinesses.Fortunately, it's extremely easy to shoot something these days. All youneed is a smartphone.But what's the result of all this? Shorteraitention spans? We aren't the samepeople that we were 20 yedi ago. Notonly have we grown accustomed togetting the information we want instantaneously, our attention spansare much shorter. If something doesn'tcaptulc ourattention within a fewseconds. We're on to the next piece ofcontent.[Q20]Marketers need to figureout ways to speak directly to the customer's emotions and they need tofigure out how to do that as quickly aspossible. Once people are emotionallyengaged, they'll stick with you.If marketingi has changed this much inthe past 20 years, imagine what thenext 20 years will bring li ai recentsurvey, only 9% of marketers could saywith confidence that their marketingefforts were actually working. Theirconfidence is being shaken becausethe rules of the game change everyyear. That's why [Q21]it'simportant for marketers to pay attention to the latest technological devel and consider collaborating with technological innovators. That way,they'll be moving at thesame pace asthe tech industry.Question 19 What does the speaker sayabout today's consumers?Question 20 How do marketers captureconsumers'attention as quickly aspossible?Question 21 What does the speakersuggest marketers do to meet futurechalletes?演讲3You might be surprised to learn that [Q22] thebenefits offriendships extend beyond people's sociallifeand into their work, which is interestingwhen cd lili the extent to which peoplesacrifice friendships, or at least the time they spendwith friends because of the exte edihairsthey'redevoting to work. Just last week, rwas remarking toa colleague that I'm content with only one socialengagement per week. But according to recentresearch, that's evidently not enough.In an initial study of more than 700 respondents,scholars from an American university [Q23] analyzethe imrf thst:fiends as opposed to family haveon sel dem Jahd well-being. Friends came outsubstantially on top. That's because to be someone's mate is a voluntary act. Unlike familywho people rarely get to choose. The researchersfound that when people choose to cultivate andmaintain supportive friendships with an individual,it means that the person is valued and worthy oftheir limited time. Such sentiments of value andworthiness boost our self-esteem.The second study comprised more than 300 participants. It proved that the better we feel aboutourselves, the more likely we will perform our jobconfidently and competently. This follow-up studyfound that [Q24] non-work friends even improvedpeople's job satisfaction. They have as much of animpact on how much they love their jobs, as do thefriends they have at work, despite not actuallybeing at our place of work. These types of friendstend to be our preferred outlet fo nni aboutwork-related mattersyThis is an avenue that maynot be available at the office.So even though friendships can be easy to neglectwhen confronted-by pressures at work, or evenpressures at home, neglecting our friends can turnout to be harmful and counterproductive. That'swhy when determining how to create a better work-life balance, we need to consider not only how tobalance work and family demands, but also how tocultivate and sustain supportive friendships. It's for employees for flexible work arrangements. It'sirrelevant whether their need for a desired scheduleis due to say, parenting responsibilities, or a craving to hang out with their best mate. Whatmatters is the opportunity to engage in a nourishingactiyity outside of work. That will definitely have afollow-on effect at work.Q 22 What does the speaker say is interesting?Q 23 What did researchers from an Americanuniversity analyze in their initial study?Q 24 What did the second study find aboutmon-work friends?Q 25 What does the speaker suggest managers do?参考答案：1.A) She is drawn to its integration of design andengineering.2.D) Through hard work.3.C) It is long-lasting.4.A) Computer science.5.B) He is well known to the public.6.D) Serve as a personatassistant.7.D) He has little previous work experience.8.C) He has a high proficiency in several languages.9.A) They have fewer rules and pressures.10.D) They deprive kids of the opportunity todevelop team spirit.11.C) Let them participate in some less risky outdooractivities.12.B) Tech firms intentionally design products tohave short lifespans.13.C) List a repairability score of their product.14.D) Take the initintive to reduce electronic waste.15.A) It can be solved.16.B) How to prevent employees from cyberloafing.17.C) Cyberloafing may relieve employees of stress.18.A) Taking mini-breaks means better jobperfontance.19.D) There were no trees.20.B) He founded a newspaper and used it topromote his ideas.21.B) The state government declared it the officialArbor Day.22.B)They moved ou of Africa about 60,000 yearsago.23.D) The discovery of two modern human teeth inChina.24.A) There must have been some reason for humanmigration.25.D) What path modern humans took to migrateout of America.听力第二套参考答案：作文：心理健康Mental well-being is regarded as a state of health where a person is able to address normal stresses in daily life. Recently,this state has been grasped as much attention as physical health.Obviously, there are several factors that affect people's mental well-being. Firstly, a strong contributor to mental well-being refers to the state of a person's usual environ-ment. Adverse environmental circumstances can lea negative effects on psychological wellness. Livingin a positive social environment, in contrast, can provide protection against mental challenges. Secondly, people's lifestyle can also impact their mental health. Smoking, a poor diet, alcohol con-sumption, substance use, and risky sexual behavior may result in psychological harm. Smoking, a poor diet, alcohol consump-tion, substance use, and risky sexual behavior may result in psychological harm. Worse, such behaviors have been linked to depression.In conclusion, because mental health is so important to general wellness, it's important that you take care of your mental health. Talking therapy, meditation and maintaining a positive outlook on life all contribute to people mental health. With a positive mental state, all areas of life will go towards active de-velopment.友好的讨论When faced with differing opinions, we should try to reach agreement through friendly discussion and reasonable argu-ment. In our daily life, it is common to see college students struggling with a polite and logical way when their views differ from others'. Apparently, this issue has sparked public con-cerns.Friendly discussion allows individuals to share their perspec-tives and opinions in a respectful manner. This can lead to a better understanding of each other's viewpoints and poten-tially even finding common ground. In addition, reasonable ar-gument allows individuals to present evidence and logic to sup-port their position, which can help persuade others to see their point of view. However, it is important to note that not all disagreements can be resolved through discussion and argu-ment alone. In some cases, compromise may be necessary to reach a resolution that satisfies all parties involved.To sum up, friendly discussion and reasonable argument, to a large extent, are of great use. We should be open-minded and engaged in such practices.教育的目标Education has played an increasingly crucial role in modern so-ciety. We aim education on different levels at cultivating the to-be successors of our global village. One important goal that education is trying to achieve is help students master the ways to acquire knowledge.Of all the capabilities one can develop to acquire knowledge in being educated, three sorts are of the greatest significance.First of all, students who are receiving education definitely know that they are always ignorant of some branches in th eocean of knowledge, which can keep them modest and more willing to explore their unfamiliar realms, even deeper if they've already done so. Moreover, students can imitate what their teachers or professors do in or our of class and then gradually acquire the ability to undertake more scientific re-search and intellectual inquiries alone. Last but not least,youngsters who are accustomed to being educated at school or college are more likely to keep studying as a life-long habit,which will have a substantially positive effect on their own life and the future of the human world.In my perspective, education is one of the most marvelous social inventions that ever existed in human history. Without it, the whole globe can never continue developing further in a civilized and prosperous direction.星火英语版：听力部分（共2套）第一套1.B) It was warm and comfortable.2.B) She misses her roommates she used to complain about.3.C) He had a similar feeling to the woman's.4.A) Go to see the woman's apartment.5.D) He has published a book recently.6.C) It has not prepared young people for the job market.7.A) More of the budget should go to science and technology.8.D) Cultivate better citizens.9.

As is known to all, a harmonious dormitory life is important to college students and benefits all the members. On the one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study. On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together. There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious dormitory life. Firstly, you have to evaluate your life style and try to get rid of your dirty habits, if there are any. Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, you’ll just have to learn to tolerate each other and co-exist. Thirdly, you’ll have to share with each other and make good friends.

6月大学英语四级作文篇1Should Retirement Age Be Postponed?1. 近年来，推迟退休年龄引发人们热议2. 推迟退休年龄有利也有弊3. 我的看法范文：Based on a recent survey on the Internet, a majority of individuals admit that aging society will bring a variety of problems to their life. Along with the trend of longevity, it has become a trend for people to debate whether it is wise to postpone retirement age.Some people favor postponing the retirement age. In their eyes, it is this policy that enables the aging society to build up enough work-force. As a matter of fact, people in mounting numbers have come to realize this problem in an aging society. Even so, others hold a different view that postponing retirement age carries some risks. This policy can bring old people stress, but cannot arouse their enthusiasm for work, and cannot help them to enjoy their retirement pension.I am convinced that we should balance old people’ interest and this aging society. Thus, if those seniors have enthusiasm for work, we should educate, advocate and encourage them to work and perform their tasks. If we try our utmost to do so, the future of old people’ life will be promising, hopeful and rosy.译文：根据最近的一项调查在互联网上,大多数人承认老龄化社会将给他们的生活带来各种各样的问题。

1.2022年6⽉英语四级考试阅读理解范⽂ Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. Not all will be saved, andperhaps not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality business.We have no obligation to save them simply because they exist. But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial squeeze, with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenuessignificantly. Raising tuition doesn’t bring in more revenue, for each time tuition goes up, the enrollment goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up. Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private, not usually because of mismanagement but because of the nature of the enterprise.They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business. It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may go under. Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity. There is no basis for arguing that private schools are inherently (固有地)better than public schools. Examples to the contrary abound. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education. In an imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous. In an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. Enthusiastic supporters of public higher education know the importance of sustaining private higher education. 练习题： Choose correct answers to the question: 1.According to the author's opinion, schools are bad businesses because of _______. A. mismanagement B. too few students C. financial squeeze D. their characteristics 2.The author used the phrase “go under" in Para. 3 to mean "_______". A. get into difficulties B. have low enrollment C. have little money D. bring in more money 3.We can reasonably conclude from this passage that the author made an appeal to the public in order to support_____ A. public institution B. private schools C. uniformity of education D. diversity of education 4.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about private schools? A. High-quality private schools deserve to be saved. B. If the tuition of the private schools is raised, the enrollment goes down. C. There are many cases to show that public schools are better than private schools. D. Private schools are more profitable than public schools. 5.Which of the following ways could possibly save private schools? A. Raising tuition. B. Full enrollment. C. National awareness and support. D. Reduction of rising costs. 1.[D] 事实细节题。
2021年6月英语六级真题试卷卷三【完整版】
2021年6月英语六级真题试卷卷三【完整版】第三套作文WritingDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 mimites to write an essay based on the chart below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the chart and comment on China5 s achievements in poverty alleviation. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.The bar chart above explicitly demonstrates the great achievements China has made in poverty alleviation. In 2012, there are over 80 million rural people in poverty, which takes up almost 10% of the rural population. However, the following nine years witness the continuous decline in this figure, and in 2020, all the Chinese rural people are alleviated from poverty.The achievements, however, can not be completely reflected by this figure. Firstly, Chinese rural people have become increasingly wealthier. Morefamilies possess their own automobiles, more rural people have access to high-tech devices, and their living conditions have also improved markedly. Moreover, the literate rate of rural population has greatly increased, too. Primary schools are so popular in rural area that almost every child can receive education, which will surely in turn propel the development of rural areas in the future. Besides, more rural people go to bigger cities to realize their Chinese dreams, and they have contributed a lot to the prosperity of our great country.In all, China5 s achievements in alleviating poverty have attracted worldwide attention. I am very proud of being a Chinese citizen, and I believe our great country will become better, stronger, and more beautiful.六级选词填空：Part IIIReading Comprehension (40minutes)Section ADirections：in this setion，there is apassage wtih ten banks.

There are people who don't, obviously, and thank god for that: a world without designers and artists would be a very shabby one indeed.Some argue that so many adults have abandoned drawing because we've miscategorized it and given it a very narrow definition. In his book, Stick Figures: Drawing as a Human Practice, Professor D.B. Dowd argues that "We have misfiled the significance of drawing because we see it as a professional skill instead of a personal capacity. We mistakenly think of "good" drawings as those which work as recreations of the real world, as realistic illusions. Rather, drawing should be recategorized as a symbolic tool.Human beings have been drawing for 73,000 years. It's part of what it means to be human. We don't have the strength of chimpanzees(大猩猩) because we've given up animal strength to manipulate subtle instruments, like hammers, spears, and — later — pens and pencils. The human hand is an extremely dense network of nerve endings. In many ways, human beings are built to draw.Some researchers argue that doodling(涂画) activates the brain'sso-called default circuit — essentially, the areas of the brain responsible for maintaining a baseline level of activity in the absence of other stimuli. Because of this, some believe that doodling during a boring lecture can help students pay attention. In one study, participants were asked to listen to a list of names while either doodling or sitting still. Those who remembered 29 percent more of the names than those who did not.There's also evidence that drawing talent is based on how accurately someone perceives the world. The human visual system tends to misjudge size, shape, color, and angles but artists perceive these qualities more accurately than non-artists. Cultivating drawing talent can become an essential tool to improve people's observational skills in fields where the visual is important.Rather than think of drawing as a talent that some creative people are gifted in, we should consider it as a tool for seeing and understanding the world better-one that just so happens to double as an art from. Bothabsent-minded doodling and copying from life have been shown to positivelyaffect your memory and visual perception ,so complain loudly the next time your school board slashes the art department's budget.46.What do people generally think about drawing?A) It is a gift creative people are endowed with.B) It is a skill that is acquired with practiceC) It is an art form that is appreciated by all.D) It is an ability everyone should cultivate.47.What do we learn about designers and artists?A) They are declining gradually in numberB) They are keen on changing shabby surroundings.C) They add beauty and charm to the world.D) They spend most of their lives drawing.48.What does Professor D.B.Dowd argue in his book?A) Everybody is born with the capacity to draw.B) Drawing is a skill that requires special trainingC) The value of drawing tends to be overestimatedD) Drawing should be redefined as a realistic illusion.49.What have some researchers found from one study about doodling?A) It is a must for maintaining a base level of brain activity.B) It can turn something boring into something interestingC) It is the most reliable stimulant to activate l the brain.D) It helps improve concentration and memory.50.What is characteristic of people withdrawing talent?A) Sensitivity to cognitive stimulation.B) Subtlety of representation.C) Accuracy in categorization.D) Precision in visual perception.仔细阅读第三套:You can' t see it, smell it, or hear it, and people disagree on how precisely to define it, or where exactly it comes from................46. D) It contributes to intellectual growth but can easily be skilled.47.B) Cultivation of creativity should permeate the entire school curriculum.48.C) Test-oriented teaching.49.B) They attach great importance to arts education.50 .C) Providing all children with equal access to arts education.Emulating your conversation partner5 s actions is a common human behavior classified as “mirroring” and has been............51 .C) Imitate their partners' gestures without their knowing it.52 .B) When both sides have a lot of things in common.53 .A)It encourages people to imitate.54 .A)It facilitates the creation of one' s own writing style.55 .D) It may do harm as well as good.翻译3：青海是中国西北部的一个省份，平均海拔3000以上，大部分地区为高山和高原。

(2) A restaurant named Number 4 in Newcastle contacted Joe's teachers to ask if the nine-year-old could come and decorated the dining room with his drawings.

What food should we provide?W: Well, I had thought about baking a cake and some biscuits, and now I think we should prepare some sandwiches and snacks and some other kinds of food so that people can just help themselves rather than getting everyone to sit down at the table to eat a meal.

I think I might try that big new supermarket on the other side of town, see what they have. I've not been there before.I think we should get some beer and wine and some fruit juice and other soft drinks. What do you think?W: Sounds great. I think those drinks will be enough. And I heard that the new supermarket offers some big discounts to attract customers, so going there should be a great idea. What should we do about music?M：Maybe we should also ask Pual to bring his computer and speakers so that we can play some music. He has a great collection of different stuff. Yes. All right.Q8.

Would this be your first car?W: Nope.M: I actually owned a car for a little while when I lived in Miami. You see, in America, many cities don't have good public transport.So most people need their ownOY car to get around.W: I see.M: So have you got your mindset on a specific model?W: No, not really.(13) I've heard that German cars are very reliable, but I haven't decided on a specific model yet.I'd also like it to be small so that it's easy to drive in the city.M: I have a friend who sells secondhand cars. In fact, I think his family owns the business.He's a really nice guy and he knows a lot about cars. I could give you his phone number if you want, and you could call him and ask him questions.W: Hmm. That's nice of you, but I don't want to feel obliged to buy one of his car.M: Oh no. He's not like that. He's a good friend of mine and he would never try to pressure you.W: Well, if you trust him, then I guess it should be okay. To be honest, I could use some help in deciding what type of vehicle would best suit my needs.Speaking to an expert would be a good idea.M: Exactly. You have nothing to worry about. He's a lovely guy and he'll be happy to help.Q13. What does the woman say about German cars?Q14. What does the man recommend the woman do?Q15. What do we learn about the Loinbo's friend from the conversation?PASSAGE 1Passage one.Pigs are not native to north America. They were first introduced to California by Spanish and Russian explorers and settlers many centuries ago. In the early times, pigs were allowed to wander freely and search a food. This practice also allowed many pigs to escape from farms and live in the wild, which became a problem.In fact, as one of the most damaging invasive species on the continent, wild pigs caused millions of dollars in crop damage yearly. TheyOY also harbored dozens of diseases that threaten both humans and farm animals. Forest patches with wild pigs have been found to have considerably reduced plant and animal diversity.In addition to either eating other animals or their food supply, wild pigs damaged native habitats by reaching up crosses and rubbing on trees. Their activities may also create opportunities for invasive plants to colonize these areas. Wild pigs will eat almost anything containing calories. Mice, deer, birds, snakes and frogs are among their victims.They can also harm other wild species through indirect competition rather than eating them or shrinking their food supply. On one particular United States island, wild pigs themselves became an attractive food source for a species of mainland eagle. Eagles began breeding on the island and also feeding on a species of native fox. The foxes were almost wiped out completely.Q16. What do we learn about early pigs in north America?Q17. Why are wild pigs a threat to humans?Q18. What does the passage say about the native foxes on a U.S. island?PASSAGE 2(19) A pair of entrepreneurs are planning to build and launch a spacecraft that would carry and roast coffee beans in outer space. The craft will use the heat of re-entry to roast coffee beans, as they float inside it in a pressurized tank. The effect would be to roast the beans all over and produce perfect coffee. (20) The businessmen say that on earth, beans can easily break apart and get burned in the roaster. But if gravity is removed, the beans float around and heated oven, received 360 degrees of evenly distributed heat and roast to near perfection. The spacecraft will reach a height of around 200 kilometers. The beans would WANGYI then be roasted and the heat generated by the crafts 20 minute re-entry into earth's atmosphere. Temperatures and the pressurized tank will be kept to around 200 degrees Celsius. Once back on earth, the planet's first space roasted beans would be used to make coffee that would be sold for the first time in Dubai. This is where the Pairs company is based. It is not clear how much they would charge for a cup. Surprisingly, the space roaster concept should it go ahead will not be the first attempt to take coffee into space. (21) In 2015, two Italian companies collaborated on the construction of a similar type of spacecraft, which was the first coffee machine designed for use in space.Q19. What are a pair of entrepreneurs planning to do?Q20. What does the passage say about coffee beans roasted on earth?Q21. What did the two Italian companies do in 2015?PASSAGE 3Passage threeIn cold and snowy Alaska, there’s a village called Takotna. It has a population of a mere 49 adults. Each March, this tiny village swells up in numbers because it is located in the middle of a race that takes place every year. It is a seven-day race called “The Iditarod Trail”. And participants stop at Takotna for the obligatory 24 hour rest.Lucky for them, Takotna is famous OY for its delicious fruit pies. Weeks before the competitors arrive, the residents of Takotna start preparing what is without question their biggest event of the year. The whole village chips in to help, including the kids, who end up developing their baking skills at an early age. Exhausted and hungry racers are greeted with delightful pies of all kinds, such as apple, orange, lemon, or banana.They consume the pies and a stomach warming race fuel. The toughness of the race allows for racers to eat pretty much whatever they want. The more calories, the better. Takotna has gained a reputation for its dessert-based hospitality since the 1970s. It started with one person, Jane Newton. Jane moved from Iditarod with her husband in 1972 and opened a restaurant. A rich and filling fruit pies quickly got the races attention, and the village gained some fame as a result. Proud residents then started to refer to Jane as queen of Takotna.Questions 22 to 25, or based on the passage, you have just heardQ22. Why do a lot of people come to the village of Takotna every March?Q23. What is the village of Takotna famous for?Q24. Who comes to help with the event of the year?Q25.

闰6月_精品文档
闰6月6月，是一年中的第六个月。
通常情况下，每年只有12个月，但在闰年中，会有一个额外的月份，被称为“闰月”。
而6月，恰恰是这个特殊的闰月。
闰年是指按照太阳历来计算时间的年份中，比普通的年份多了一天。
为了让日历与季节相符，因此需要增加一个额外的月份。
根据国际标准的计算方法，闰年的规则是：能够被4整除但不能被100整除的年份都是闰年，但能够被400整除的年份也是闰年。
因此，每4年中就会有一个闰年，其中的闰月便位于6月。
闰6月有着特殊的含义和意义。
首先，它给了我们一个额外的时间单位，这意味着更多的时间去完成我们的目标、计划和梦想。
这个额外的月份可以让我们更加充分地利用时间，将我们的生活和工作安排得更加合理和有序。
其次，闰6月也给了我们一个调整和平衡的机会。
时间对我们来说是一种宝贵的资源，但有时候我们会感到时光匆匆流逝，无法真正掌握时间。
而闰6月的到来，可以让我们有时间来回顾和调整我们的计划和安排。
我们可以对过去的6个月进行总结，找出自己的不足之处，并制定新的计划来弥补和改进。
此外，闰6月还可以给人们带来更多的惊喜和欢乐。
想象一下，正当大家以为6月即将结束时，突然出现了一个额外的月份，这无疑会给人们带来更多的喜悦和兴奋。
人们可以利用这个额外的时间来做一些特别的事情，比如旅行、探索新的兴趣爱好、与家人朋友共度美好时光等。
闰6月的到来，可以让人们的生活更加多姿多彩。
闰月在不同的文化中也有不同的意义和传统。
在农业社会中，农民们会根据闰月来安排农作物的种植和收割工作，以确保丰收的结果。
在一些宗教和文化节日中，闰月也有着特别的地位。
例如，中国的农历中有闰年和闰月的概念，而在佛教中，每个闰月都被视为特别的时刻，被称为“双月节”。
总之，闰6月给我们带来了特别的时刻和意义。
这个额外的月份让我们有更多的时间去实现我们的目标和计划，调整和平衡我们的生活和工作，同时也给我们带来更多的惊喜和欢乐。
无论你是怎么度过这个闰6月的，它都值得被珍视和庆祝。
家长给幼儿园老师关于6月份的回信范文
家长给幼儿园老师关于6月份的回信范文示例文章篇一：《致幼儿园老师的回信》尊敬的[老师称呼]：您好！收到您关于6月份幼儿园情况的来信，我特别高兴。
我觉得您的信就像一把钥匙，打开了我了解孩子在幼儿园生活的大门。
这个6月啊，感觉就像一场热热闹闹的狂欢。
我家孩子回来总是叽叽喳喳地说个不停，像只快乐的小麻雀。
他一会儿说今天和小伙伴们玩了超级有趣的游戏，一会儿又说老师讲了特别神奇的故事。
从他的话里，我能感觉到他在幼儿园里度过的每一天都特别精彩。
我知道6月有好多好玩的活动。
像那个儿童节的庆祝活动，孩子回来眉飞色舞地跟我讲舞台上的表演。
他说有小朋友扮成了可爱的小动物，跳来跳去的，就像一群在森林里嬉戏的小精灵。
我就想啊，这得多亏了您和其他老师们的精心安排呀。
您得费多少心思才能让这些小不点们在舞台上那么自信又开心地表演呢？还有那端午节的活动，孩子回来给我讲包粽子的事儿。
他说他也学着包了，虽然包得歪歪扭扭的，可他特别自豪。
他还说您给他讲了屈原的故事，他听得可认真了。
我就纳闷了，您是怎么把这么古老的故事讲得让小朋友们都能听懂并且感兴趣的呢？这就像魔法一样，您把传统文化的种子种在了孩子们幼小的心灵里。
在这个6月里，我也发现孩子长大了不少呢。
以前他总是很依赖我们，现在他会自己穿衣服、自己洗手帕了。
我想这肯定是您在幼儿园里耐心教导的结果。
您就像一位辛勤的园丁，看着小树苗一点点地茁壮成长。
我也想跟您说说孩子在家里的情况。
有时候他会把在幼儿园学到的儿歌唱给我们听，那声音奶声奶气的，可好听了。
他还会学着您的样子，给我们讲故事，讲着讲着自己就笑起来了，我们也跟着笑。
这时候我就觉得，幼儿园真的是孩子的另一个家，而您就是这个家里很重要的家人。
我家孩子有几个小伙伴，他特别喜欢和他们一起玩。
我就想啊，在幼儿园里，他们是不是也像亲兄弟一样呢？您肯定看到过他们一起玩耍、一起分享玩具的场景吧。

have26evidence-backed guidelines on the type and intensity of exercise27for various physical health benefits,such guidelines do not yet exist for exercise and mood. This is28due to a lack of necessary evidence.However,a new systematic review brings us usefully up-to-date on the current findings in this area.Before29into some of the key take-aways,an

Much?A)How will we all keep busy when we only have to work15hours a week?That was the question that worriedthe British economist John Maynard Keynes when he wrote his short essay“Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren”in1930.Over the next century,he predicted,the economy would become so productive that people would barely need to work at all.For a while,it looked like Keynes was right.In1930the average working week was47hours in the United States.But by1970,the number of hours Americans worked on average had fallen to slightly less than39.B)But then something changed.Instead of continuing to decline,the duration of the working week remainedstable.It has stayed at just below40hours for nearly five decades.So what happened?Why are people working just as much today as in1970?C)There would be no mystery in this if Keynes had been wrong about the power of technology to increase theeconomy's productivity,which he thought would lead to a standard of living“between four and eight times as high as it is today.”But Keynes got that right:Technology has made the economy massively more productive.According to Benjamin M.Friedman,an economistat Harvard,the U.S.economy is right ontrack to reach Keynes's eight-fold(八倍)multiple by2029.That is a century after the last data Keynes wouldhave had access to.D)In a new paper,Friedman tries to figure out why that increased productivity has not translated into increasedleisure time.Perhaps people just never feel materially satisfied,always wanting more money to buy the next ·2024年6月四级真题(第一套)·4new thing.This is a theory that appeals to many economists.“This argument is,at best,far from sufficient,”he writes.If that were the case,why did the duration of the working week decline in the first place?E)Another theory Friedman considers is that,in an era of ever fewer settings that provide effectiveopportunitiesfor personal connections and relationships,people may place more value on the socializing that happens at work.There is support for this theory.Many people today consider colleagues as friends.But Friedman argues that the evidence for this theory is far from conclusive.Many workers report that they would like to spend more time with family,rather than at work.Furthermore,this theory cannot explain the change in trend in the U.S.working week in the1970s.F)A third possibility proves more convincing for Friedman.That is:American inequality means that the gainsof increasing productivity are not widely shared by everyone.In other words,most Americans are too poor to work less.Unlike the other two explanations Friedman considers,this one fits chronologically(按年代).Inequality declined in America during the period following World War II,along with the duration of the working week.But since the early1970s it has risen dramatically.G)Keynes's prediction of a shorter working week rests on the idea that the standard of living would continuerising for everyone.But Friedman says that this is not what has happened.Although Keynes's eight-fold figure holds up for the economy as a whole,it is not at all the case for the median(中位数的)American worker.For them,output by2029is likely to be around3.5times what it was when Keynes was writing.This is a bit below his four-to eight-fold predicted rangeH)This can be seen in the median worker's income over this time period,complete with a shift in1973that fitsin precisely with when the working week stopped shrinking.According to Friedman,between1947and1973 the average hourly wage for normal workers(those who were not in management roles)in private industries other than agriculture nearly doubled in terms of what their money could buy.But by2013the average hourly wage for ordinary workers had fallen5percent from the1973level in terms of actual purchasing power.Thus,though American incomes may have gone up since1973,the amount that American workers can actually buy with their money has gone down.For most Americans,then,the magic of increasing productivity stopped working around1973.Thus,they had to keep working just as much in order to maintain their standard of livingI)What Keynes predicted was a very optimistic version of what economists call technological unemployment.This is the idea that less labor will be necessary because machines can do somuch.In Keynes's vision,the resulting unemployment would be distributed more or less evenly across society in the form of increased leisure.But Friedman says that,for Americans,reality is much darker.Americans now have a labor market in which millions of people—those with fewer skills and less education—are seeking whatever poorly paid work they can get.This is confirmed by a recent poll that found that,for half of hourly workers,their top concern is not that they work too much but that they work too little.This is most likely not because they like their jobs so much.Rather,we can assume it is because they need the money.J)This explanation leaves an important question.If the very rich—the workers who have reaped above-average gains from the increased productivity since Keynes's time—can afford to work less,why do they continue to work so much?(Indeed,research has shown that the highest earners in America tend to work the most.)5·2024年6月四级真题(第一套)·Friedman believes that for many top earners,work is a labor of love.They are doing work they care about and are interested in,and doing more of it is not necessarily a burden.For them,it may even be a pleasure.These top earners derive meaning from their jobs and work is an important part of how they think of themselves.And,of course,they are compensated for it at a level that makes it worth their while.K)Friedman concludes that the prosperity(繁荣)Keynes predicted is here.After all,the economy as a whole has grown even more brilliantly than he expected.But for most Americans,that prosperity is nowhere to be seen.And,as a result,neither are those shorter working weeks.36.Some people view socializing at the workplace as a chance to develop personal relationships.37.As ordinary American workers'average hourly pay had decreased despite increasing productivity,they had towork just as manyhours as before to keep their living standards.38.American workers'average weekly workingtime has not changed for nearly half a century.39.Friedman believes inequality in the rgely explains why increasing productivity has not resulted inreduced working hours.40.Many economists assume people's thirst for material things has prevented them from enjoying more leisuretime.41.An economist'sprediction about a shorter average working week seemed to be correct for a time in the20thcentury.42.In the bor market,the primary concern of people with less schooling and fewer skills is to secure anyemployment even if it is low-paid.43.Keynes was right in predicting that technology would make the economy much more productive.44.Many of the highest earners have a keen interest in and love for what they are doing45.According to Keynes,there would be a shorter working week with everyone's standard of living continuingtorise.Section CDirections:There are2passages in this

letter on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.Lao Zi once said,“Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.”People-pleasing,or seeking self-worth through others'approval,is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life.Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves?If it's true that you can't please all people all of the time,wouldn't it make sense to stop trying?Unfortunately,sense often isn't driving our behavior.For social beings who desire love and belonging, wanting to be liked,and caring about the effect we have on others,is healthy and allows us to make connections.·2024年6月四级真题(第一套)·6However,where we get into trouble is when our self-worth is dependent upon whether we win someone's approval or not.This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and werecompletely dependent on others to take care of us:Small children are not just learning how to walk and communicate,they are alsotrying to learn how the world works.We learn about who we are and what is expected of us based on interactions with others so,to a four-year-old,if Mommy or Daddy doesn't like him or her,there is the danger that they will abandon them.We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approveof us,it's being driven by that little kid part of us that is still terrified of abandonment.As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek,your need for external validation will start to vanish,leaving you stronger,more confident,and yes,happier in your life.Imagine how much time we lose each moment we restrainour authentic selves in an effort to be liked.If we base our worth on the opinions of others,we cheat ourselves of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves,becauseultimately,there is no difference.So embrace the cliché(老话)and loveyourself as it's highly doubtful that you'll regret it.46.What can we conclude from Lao Zi's quotation?A)We should seethrough otherpeople's attempt to make a prisonerof us.B)We can never really please other people even if we try as hard as we can.C)We can never be truly free if taking to heart others'opinion of us.D)We should care about other people's view as much as they care about our own.47.What will happen if we base our self-worth on other people's approval?A)Our desire to be loved will be fulfilled.C)Our identity as social beings will be affected.B)Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting D)Our sense of self will be sharpened and enhanced.48.What may account for our need to be liked or approved of?A)Our desperate longing for interactions with others.C)Our knowledge about the pain of abandonment.B)Our understanding of the workings of the world.D)Our early childhood fear of being deserted.49.What can we do when we become better able to provide ourselves with the desired approval?A)Enjoy a happier life.C)Receive more external validation.B)Exercise self-restraint.D)Strengthen our power of imagination.50.What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?A)Embrace life for ourselves and for others.C)See our experiencesas assets.B)Base our worth on others'opinions.D)Love ourselves as we arePassage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.Some people have said aging is more a slide into forgetfulness than a journey towards wisdom.However,a growing body of research suggests that late-in-life learning is possible.In reality,education does an aging brain good.7·2024年6月四级真题(第一套)·Throughout life,people's brains constantly renovate themselves.In the late1960s,British brain scientist Geoffrey Raisman spied growth in damaged brain regions ofrats through an electron microscope; their brains were forging new connections.This meant brains may change every time a person learns something new.Of course,that doesn't mean the brain isn't affected by the effects of time.Just as height usually declines over the years,so does brain volume:Humans lose about4percent every decade starting in their40s.But that reduction doesn't necessarily make people think slower;as long as we are alive and functioning,we can alter our brains with new information and experiences.In fact,scientists now suspect accumulating novel experiences,facts,and skills can keep people's minds more flexible.New pathways can strengthen our ever-changing mental structure,even as the brain shrinks.Conventional fixes like word puzzles and brain-training apps can contribute to mental durability.Even something as simple as taking a different route to the grocery store or going somewhere new on vacation can keep the brain healthy.A desire for new life challenges can further boost brainpower.Research about aging adults who take on new enterprises shows improved function and memory as well as a reduced risk of mental disease.Openness—a characteristic defined by curiosity and a desire for knowledge—may also help folks pass brain tests.Some folks are born with this take-in-the-world atitude,but those who aren't as genetically gifted aren't necessarily out of luck.While genes can encourage an interest in doing new things,a2012study in the journal Psychology and Aging found completing reasoning tasks like puzzles and number games can enhance that desire for novel experiences,which can,in turn,refresh the brain.That's why brain scientist Richard Kennedy says“It's not that old dogs can't learn new tricks.It's that maybe old dogs don't realize why they should.”51.What do some people think of aging adults?A)Their wisdom grows as time goes by.C)They can benefit from late-in-life learning.B)Their memory gradually deteriorates D)They are likely to have mental health issues.52.What can we conclude from Geoffrey Raisman's finding?A)Brain damage seriously hinders one'slearning.C)Brains can refresh and improve with learning.B)Brain power weakens slower than we imagine D)Brains forge connections under new conditions53.What is one thing that helps maintain the health of our brain even as it shrinks?A)Doing daily routines by conventional means.C)Imitating old dogs'way of learning new tricksB)Avoiding worrying about our mental durability.D)Approaching everyday tasks in novel ways.54.What does the author say can contribute to the improvement of brain function?A)Being curious and desiring knowledge.C)Rising to life's challenges and avoiding risks.B)Being eager to pass brain tests at an old age.D)Boosting immunity to serious mental diseases55.What is the finding of the2012study in the journal Psychology and Aging?A)Wishing to solve puzzles enhances one's reasoning power.B)Playingnumber games unexpectedly stimulates one's memory.·2024年6月四级真题(第一套)·8C)Desiring new experiences can help to renovate thebrain.D)Learning new tricks

思想汇报
敬爱的党组织：
2011年6月7日—9日是我国高考时间，关注高考，关注中国的教育制度，我想每个人都有自己想说的话。
昨晚我在跟一个正准备考高的妹妹聊天时，很惊讶地发现对于填志愿这件事跟我当年一样的茫然，经过了一年高密度和高强度地学习，几乎已经把拿高分当成了自己人生追求，把握自己的命运并不仅仅是拿分而已，填志愿更是一件慎重的事情，我感觉命运还是体现在志愿上。
是志愿让一起奋斗的同学天南海北，是志愿让我们聚在了一起，是志愿暗示了我的人生方向。
最后我跟妹妹说了一句，当你觉得学得烦了，比较郁闷的时候，静下来想想自己最初的梦想，每个人都有自己想要到达的地方。
回顾高考几十年，给中国带来了太多的变化，也让曾经的精英教育变成了大众化。
1976年，想考倒大家，想磨练考生的心态，他们只是贯彻国家的方针、政策，选拔优秀人才以为国家所用，他们没有经历过文革，他们对于公正有着更加客观的理解。
而今的大学扩招，让大学本科毕业生待业人数年年增长。
现在每逢招聘会，黑压压的人海让人倍感压抑。
大学课堂也不像过去那么积极向上，睡觉，吃东西的情况随处可见，自习室的人只有在考试来临才会体现出自习室的作用，出勤率也难得达到90%。
对于在校园里无聊的人，与其荒废青春在象牙塔里，还不如早日文革结束，十年的浩劫给国家带来了严重的人才断层，1977年成为中国才子们的狂欢年，关闭10年之久的高考大门终于重新打开，尽管当年的招生比例在29：1，跟现在比差太远
了，但能满身疮痍的中国补充上新鲜的血液，也是大快人心的。
而当代中国是由80年代毕业的大学生影响着，一位全国政协委员，中国社会科学院政治研究所研究员说道，他们是科学发展观、自主创新、以人为本等理念直接和有力的推动者，这代人的脱颖而出将使中国完成一次划世代的人才更迭与思维方式转型。
记得听老师说过，现在的出题者已经不再是当年那些经过文革，怀才不遇的人，他们并不是报着感受社会的残酷。
与其被动成为大学扩招的受害者，不如积极让自己成为受益人。
中国的教育在过去的日子里一直在逐步改善，逐步完善，尽管现在仍有不尽人意的地方，但是国家注意到了，并积极思考其原因与解决方案，我们的国家会越来越好，我们身为大学生，尽管已经经历了高考，前面的道路还等待着我们，我们要努力实现自己的人生价值，为实现四个现代化而奋斗。
请党组织检验我。
此致
敬礼
