英语专八试卷真题及答案

英语专八试卷真题及答案 Revised final draft November 26, 20202004年英语专八试卷真题及答案PART Ⅰ LISTENING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A TALKLanguage is used for doing things. People use it in everyday conversation for transacting business, planning meals and vacations, debating politics, and gossiping. Teachers use it for instructing students, and comedians use it for amusing audiences. All these are instances of language use - that is activities in which people do things with language. As we can see, language use is really a form of joint action.What is joint action I think it is an action that is carried out by a group of people doing things in coordination with each other. As simple examples, think of two people waltzing, or playing a piano duet. When two dancers waltz, they each move around the ballroom in a special way. But waltzing is different from the sum of their individual actions. Can you imagine these two dancers doing the same steps, but in separate rooms, or at separate times So waltzing is, in fact, the joint action that emerges as the two dancers do their individual steps in coordination, as a couple.Similarly, doing things with language is also different from the sum of the speaker speaking and the listener listening. It is the joint action that emerges when speakers and listeners, or writers and readers, perform their individual actions in coordination, as ensembles. Therefore, we can say that language use incorporates bothindividual and social processes. Speakers and listeners, writers and readers, must carry out actions as individuals, if they are to succeed in their use of language. But they must also work together as participants in the social units I have called ensembles. In the example I mentioned just now, the two dancers perform both individual actions, moving their bodies, arms, and legs, and joint actions, coordinating these movements, as they create the waltz. In the past, language use has been studied as if it were entirely an individual process. And it has also been studied as if it were entirely a social process. For me, I suggest that it belongs to both. We cannot hope to understand language use without viewing it as joint actions built on individual actions. In order to explain how all these actions work,I'd like to review briefly settings of language use. By settings, I mean the scene in which language use takes place, plus the medium - which refers to whether language use is spoken or written. And inthis talk, I'll focus on spoken settings.The spoken setting mentioned most often is conversation - either face to face, or on the telephone. Conversations may be devoted to gossip, business transactions or scientific matters, but they're all characterized by the free exchange of terms among the two participants. I'll call these personal settings. Then we have what I would call nonpersonal settings. A typical example is the monologue.In monologues, one person speaks with little or no opportunity for interruption, or turns by members of the audience. Monologues come in many varieties too, as a professor lectures to a class, or a student giving a presentation to a seminar. These people speak for themselves, uttering words they formulated themselves for the audience before them, and the audience isn't expected to interrupt. In another kindof setting which are called institutional settings, the participantsengage in speech exchanges that look like ordinary conversation, but they are limited by institutional rules. As examples, we can think of a government official holding a news conference, a lawyercross questioning a witness in court, or a professor directing a seminar discussion. In these settings, what is said is more or less spontaneous, even though turns at speaking are allocated by a leader, or are restricted in other ways.The person speaking isn't always the one whose intentions are being expressed. We have the clearest examples in fictional settings. Vivian Leigh plays Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone with the Wind", Frank Sinatra sings a love song in front of a live audience, the speakers are each vocalizing words composed by someone else - for instance a playwright or a composer - and are openly pretending to be expressing opinions that aren't necessarily their own. Finally there are private settings when people speak for themselves without actually addressing anyone else, for example, I might explain silently to myself, or talk to myself about solving a research problem, or rehearsing what I'm about to say in a seminar tomorrow. What I say isn't intended to be recognized by other people, it is only of use to myself. These are the features of private settings.SECTION B TALKW: Good evening, I'm Nancy Johnson. The guest on our radio talk this evening is Professor Wang Gongwu. Hello, Professor Wang.M: Hello.W: Professor Wang, you're now professor emeritus of Australia National University, and in your long academic career, you've wornmany hats as tutor, lecturer, department head, dean, professor, and vice chancellor. However, as I know, you're still very fond of your university days as a student.M: That's right. That was in 1949. The university that I went to was a brand new university then, and the only one in the country at that time. When I look back, it was an amazingly small university, and we knew everybody.W: How did the students like you, for example, study thenM: We didn't study very hard, because we didn't have to. We didn't have all this fantastic competition that you have today. Mmm. We were always made to feel that getting a first degree in the Arts faculty was not preparation for a profession. It was a general education. We were not under any pressure to decide on our careers, and we had such a good time. We were left very much on our own, and we were encouraged to make things happen.W: What do you see as the most striking difference in university education since thenM: University education has changed dramatically since those days. Things are very specialized today.W: Yes, definitely so. And, in your subsequent career experience as an educator and later administrator in various institutions of higher education in Asia and elsewhere, Professor Wang, you have repeatedlynoted that one has to look at the development of education in one particular country in a broad context. What do you mean by thatM: Well, the whole world has moved away from elite education in universities to meet the needs of mass education, and entering universities is no longer a privilege for the few. And universities today are more concerned with providing jobs for their graduates in a way that universities in our time never had to be bothered about. Therefore, the emphasis of university programs today is now on the practical and the utilitarian, rather than on a general education or on personal development.W: Do you think that is a welcome developmentM: Well, I personally regret this development. But the basicbachelor's education now has to cater to people who really need a piece of paper to find a decent job.W: So you're concerned about this development.M: Yes, I'm very concerned. With technical changes, many of the things that you learn are technical skills, which don't require you to become very well educated. Yet, if you can master those skills, you can get very good jobs. So the technical institutions are going to be increasingly popular at the expense of traditional universitites.W: Professor Wang, let's look at a different issue. How do you comment on the current phenomenon because of the fees they payM: Well, once you accept students on financial grounds, one wonders whether you have to pass them as well. But this is the development in education that we have to contend with. Yet, if we are concerned about maintaining standards, what we can do is to concentrate on improving the quality of education.W: Yes, you're right. A university is judged by the quality of education it offers. Professor Wang, let's turn to the future. What type of graduates, in your view, to universities of the future need to produce, if they are to remain relevantM: I think their graduates must be able to shift from one profession to another, because they are trained in a very independent way. If you can do that, you raise the level of the flexibility of the mind. Today's rapid changes in technology demand this adaptability. And you see the best universities in the world are already trying to guarantee that their students will not only be technically trained, but will be the kind of people that can adapt to any changing situation.W: I guess many people would agree with you on that point. University education should focus on both personal and professional development of students. But still some might believe there is a definite place for education in a broader sense - that is, in personal intellectual development.M: No doubt about that. We need people who will think about the future, about the past, and also people who will think about society.If a society doesn't have philosophers, or people who think about the value of life, it's a very sad society indeed.W: Professor Wang, my last question: do you see any common ground in education between your generation and the young generation nowM: Adapting to new challenges is perhaps the true cornerstone of our generation's legacy to education. And the future of education in a country rests not so much on the construction of better buildings, labs, etc., but in the development of an ever adaptable mind.W:That's true. The essence of education is the education of the mind. Okay, thank you very much, Professor Wang, for talking to us on the show about the changing trends in education.M: You're welcomeSECTION CA new data shows that the global AIDS pandemic will cause a sharp drop in life expectancy in dozens of countries, in some cases, declines of three decades. Several nations are losing a century's progress in extending the length of life. Nations in every part of the world, 51 in all, are suffering declining life expectancies because of an increasing prevalence of HIV infection. The increase is occurring in Asia, Latin America, and the Carribbean, but is greatest in sub Saharan Africa, a region with only 10% of the world's population but 70% of the world's HIV infections. Seven African countries have life expectancies of less than 40 years. For example, in Botswana, where 39% of the adult population is infected with HIV,life expectancy is 39 years. But by 2010, it will be less than 27 years. Without AIDS, it would have been 44 years. Life expectancy throughout the Carribbean and some Central American nations will drop into the 60's by 2010, when they would otherwise have been in the70's without AIDS. In Cambodia and Burma, they are predicted to decline to around 60 years old, to what otherwise would have been in the mid 60's. Even in countries where the number of new infections is dropping, such as Thailand, Uganda, and Senegal, small life expectancy drop is forecast. Back in the early 1990's, we never would have suspected that population growth would have turned negative because of AIDS mortality. In less than 10 years, we expect that 5 countries will be experiencing negative population growth because of AIDS mortality, including South Africa, Mozambique, Lesotho, Botswana and Swaziland.Questions 14 and 15 are based on the following news. At the end of the news item, you will be given 30 seconds to answer the questions. Now listen to the news.The European Union has drafted alist of US products to be hit with import taxes in retaliation for tariffs the United States has imposed on European steel. EU member governments will review the list before the EU submits it to the World Trade Organization, which arbitrates international trade disputes. EU officials will not say which American products will be hit by the EU sanctions. But diplomats monitoring the most recent trans Atlantic trade dispute say they include textiles and steel products.Earlier this month, the Bush administration imposed tariffs of up to 30 percent on some steel imports, including European products.The EU has appealed to the World Trade Organization to get those duties overturned. But a WTO decision on the matter could take up to a year or more. EU officials say that, under WTO rules, the EU has the right to impose retaliatory measures in June. But they saythe United States can avoid the EU's possible countermeasures if it pays more than two billion dollars in compensation to the EU for imposing the steel tariffs in the first place. The officials say Washington could also escape retaliation by lowering U.S. import duties on other EU products. The Bush administration says it will not pay compensation.SECTION D TALKGood morning. Today's lecture will focus on how to make people feel at ease in conversations. I guessall of you sitting here can recall certain people who just seem to make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you've known them half your life. These people who have that certain something that makes us feel comfortable have something in common, and once we know what that is, we can go about getting some of that something for ourselves. How is it done Here are some of the skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they will help you put people at their ease, make them feel secure, and comfortable, and turn acquaintances into friends. First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy, will answer a question. In fact, according to my observation, very shy persons are often more willing to answer questions than extroverts. They are more concerned that someone will think them impolite if they don't respond to the questions. So most skillful conversationalists recommend starting with a question that is personal, but not harmful. For example, once a famous American TV presenter got a long and fascinating interview from a notoriously private billionaire by asking him about his first job. Another example, one prominent woman executive confesses that at business lunches, "I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a dull question, but it gets things going." From there, you can move on to other matters, sometimes to really personal questions. Moreover, howyour responder answers will let you know how far you can go. A few simple catchwords like "Really" "Yes" are clear invitations to continue talking. Second, once good talkers have asked questions,they listen for answers. This point seems obvious, but it isn't in fact. Making people feel comfortable isn't simply a matter of making idle conversation. Your questions have a point. You're really asking, "What sort of person are you" and to find out, you have to really listen. There are at least three components of real listening. Forone thing, real listening means not changing the subject. If someone sticks to one topic, you can assume that he or she is reallyinterested in it. Another component of real listening is listeningnot just to words but to tones of voice. I once mentioned D.H. Lawrence to a friend. To my astonishment, she launched into an academic discussion of the imagery in Lawrence's works. Midway through, I listened to her voice. It was, to put it mildly, unanimated, and it seemed obvious that the imagery monologue was intended solely for my benefit, and I quickly changed the subject. At last, real listening means using your eyes as well as your ears. When your gaze wanders, it makes people think they're boring your, or what they are saying is not interesting. Of course, you don't have to stare, or glare at them. Simply looking attentive will make most people think that you think they're fascinating. Next, good talkers are not afraid to laugh. If you think of all the people you know who make you feel comfortable, you may notice that all of them laugh a lot. Laughter is not only warming and friendly, it's also a good wayto ease other people's discomfort. I have a friend who might enjoy watching at gathering of other people who do not know each other well. The first few minutes of talk are a bit uneasy and hesitant, for the people involved do not yet have a sense of each other. Invariably, alight comment or joke is made, and my friend's easy laughter appears like sunshine in the conversation. There is always then a visible softening that takes place. Other people smile, and loosen in response to her laughter, and the conversation goes on with more warmth and ease.Finally, good talkers are onces who cement a parting. That is, they know how to make use of parting as a way to leave adeep impression on others. Last impressions are just as important as first impressions in determining how a new acquaintance will remember you. People who make others really feel comfortable take advantage of that parting moment to close the deal. Men have had it easier. They have done it with a smile, and a good firm handshake. What about women then Over the last several years, women have started to take over that custom well between themselves or with men. If you'resaying goodbye, you might want to give him or her a second extra hand squeeze. It's a way to say, I really enjoyed meeting you. But it'snot all done with body language. If you've enjoyed being with someone, if you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know how you feel, and they may walk away feeling as ifthey've known you half their life. Okay, just to sum up. Today, we've talked about four ways to make people feel at ease in conversations. These skills are important in keeping conversations going, and in forming friendships later on. Of course, these skills are by no means the only ones we can use. the list is much longer. I hope you willuse these four skills, and discover more on your own in your conversations with other people.

But most of them have little choice: they sell at the price the market sets. Farmers in Europe, the U.S. and Japan are luckier: they receive massive government subsidies in the form of guaranteed prices or direct handouts. Last month U.S. President Bush signed a new farm bill that gives American farmers $190 billion over the next 10 years, or $83 billion more than they had been scheduled to get, and pushes U.S. agricultural support close to crazy European levels. Bush said the step was necessary to "promote farmer independence and preserve the farm way of life for generations". It is also designed to help the Republican Party win control of the Senate in November's mid term elections.Agricultural production in most poor countries accounts for up to 50% of GDP, compared to only 3% in rich countries. But most farmers in poor countries grow just enough for themselves and their families. Those who try exporting to the West find their goods whacked with huge tariffs or competing against cheaper subsidized goods. In 1999 the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development concluded that。

2017年英语专业八级考试改错模拟测试题及答案1One important outcome of the work on the expression of genes in developing embryos is sure to be knowledge that can help preventing birth defects. Just as promising (26)is the possibility of unraveling the complicated writing (27)of the brain. A mechanic gets valuable insight how an (28)automobile works by rebuilding car engines; similarly, neuroscientists can learn how the brain functions from (29)the way it is put together. The next step pursuing the (30)goal is to find out how the blueprint genes, the home box genes, control the expression of other genes that create the valves and piston of the working cerebral engine. The protein encoded by the latter genes could change the (31)stickiness of the cell surface, the shape of the cell or its metabolism to create the characteristic peculiar to, say, neurons or neural-crest cell. Surface proteins may be the (32)mechanism, whereby similar programmed cells stick together to form specific structures; they might also sense (33)the local environment to help the cell decide what is to do. Clarifying those mechanisms will engage the best talents in (34)embryology and molecular biology for some times to come.(35)What is perhaps the most intriguing question of all is if the brain is powerful enough to solve the puzzle of its own creation.答案:26.preventing改为prevent27plicated改为complexion28.sight后加into29.neuroscientist改为a neuroscientist30.pursuing后加inter改为latter32.similar改为similarly33.去掉is34.times改为time35.if改为whether2017年英语专业八级考试改错模拟测试题及答案2Because the air in the country is really clean, we ought to live there much as is possible. Since, however, a great deal of the worlds (26)work must be done indoor in cities, it is important that we take every (27)precaution to ventilate our houses properly. Some people have thought that night air is injurious. But careful study shows that night air is identical with that which we breath during the day. In face the (28)proper ventilation of a bedroom is one of the first necessity for good (29)health. Since the exhaled air is usually warmer and lighter than the inhaled air, it rises to the top of the room. Therefore it is better to open a window both at the top to let the warm up air out and also at (30)the bottom to admit the fresh air in. Of course, this does not mean (31)that one should sleep in a strong draft. In many places it is feasible to sleep out-of-the-doors on a sleeping porch and so to secure perfect (32)ventilation. In recent years we have seen steady progress made in the development of equipments to supply proper conditioned air not only in large (33)auditoriums, class-rooms, and factories, but also in railroad trains and in private homes. This equipment cleans the air off dust, keeps (34)the temperature comfortable, holds the humidity at the right point, and keeps the air in the motion. Such a condition is conductive to (35)efficiency as well as good health.答案：26.much前加as27.indoor改为indoors28.breath改为breathe29.necessity改为necessities30.up改为upper31.去掉in32.out-of-the-doors改为out-of-doors33.equipments改为equipment34.off改为of35.去掉the2017年英语专业八级考试改错模拟测试题及答案3Henry Fielding, the famous novelist who was also 26)a London magistrate, once madea night raid to two known hideouts in this city-within-a-city; he found seven men,women, and children packed away in a few tiny 27)stinking rooms. All of these people,included little children of five and six who were trained as pick-pockets, were wantedfor crime. Conditions like these bred more criminals. One of the 28)typical cases was that Jack Shepard, whose execution in 1724 was watched by two hundred thousand people. Shepard, the son of honest working people, was an 29)apprentice in a respectful trade. He ran away from it because he fancied that he had been ill-treated, and soon 30)found it was easy to make more money by thieving 31)as his father had done by a lifetime of honest work. 32)In Shepard’s day highwaymen committed robberies at broad daylight, in sight of a crowd, and rode solemnly and 33)triumphantly through the town with danger of molestation. If they were chased, twenty or thirty armed men were ready34)to come to their assistance.

One possibility is that children are responsible. A professor of linguistic at the University of Hawaii, (27)explores this in one of his recent books. Sometimes around1880, a (28)language catastrophe occurred in Hawaii when thousands of emigrant (29)workers were brought to the islands to work for the new sugar industry. These people speaking different languages were unable to communicate with each other or with the native Hawaiians or the dominant English-speaking owners of the plantations. So they first spoke in Pidgin English -- the sort of thing such mixed language (30)populations have always done. A pidgin is not really a language at all. It is more like a set of verbal signals used to name objects and (31)without the grammatical rules needed for expressing thought and ideas. And then, within a single generation, the whole mass of mixed people began speaking a totally new tongue: Hawaiian Creole. The (32)new speech was contained ready-made words borrowed form all the (33)original tongues, but beared little or no resemblance to the (34)predecessors in the rules used for stringing the words together. Although generally regarded as primitive language, Hawaiian Creole (35)had a highly sophisticated grammar.答案:26. sure前加for27.linguistic改为linguistics.28. sometimes改为sometime.29.emigrant改为immigrant30.去spoke后的in31.and改为but.32. people改为peoples.33. 去speech后的was.34. beared改为bore.35. as前加a2017年英语专业八级考试改错模拟测试题及答案5I think it is true to saying that, in general, language teachers(26)have paid little attention to the way sentences are used in combination to form stretches of disconnected discourse. They have tended to take (27)their cue from the grammarian and have concentrated to the teaching (28)of sentences as self-contained units. It is true that these are often represented in "contexts" and strung together in dialogues and (29)reading passages, but these are essentially setting to make the formal properties of the sentences stand out more clearly, properties which are then established in the learners brain(30)by means of practice drill and exercises. Basically, the language teaching unit is the (31)sentence as a formal linguistic object. The language teachers view of what that constitutes knowledge of a language is essentially the same (32)as Chomskys knowledge of a syntactic structure of sentences,(33)and of the transformational relations which hold them. Sentences are seen as paradigmatically rather than syntagmatically related. Such a knowledge "provides the basis for the actual use of language by the speaker-hearer". The assumption that the language appears to make (34)is that once this basis is provided, then the learner will have no difficulty in the dealing with the actual use of language.(35)答案：26.saying改为say27.disconnected改为connected28.to改为on29.represented改为presented30.brain改为mind31.drill改为drills32.去掉what后面的that33.去掉knowledge后的anguage后加teacher35. 去掉dealing前面的the。

She dragged her feet to the side of the pool and sat down, in doubt whether lessons would be helpful. Scanning around, Devi spotted her instructor across the pool, together with the little kids who jumped into the water like fish leaping into the ocean. She watched in amazement. Envious as Devi was, a flush of embarrassment soon crept to her cheeks when a little girl passed by, asking her not to be scared. How embarrassing! She hung her head.Paragraph 2Soon Angela came over to where Devi sat and introduced herself. Devi was astonished to be made aware that Angela had never learned swimming until she was 20. Greatly inspired, Devi now regained hope. She entered the pool a second time in the company of Angela, several cheerful kids floating near to cheer her on. Devi began to feel more at ease, her movement less stiff and her breath more even. With a grateful heart, Devi realized that she might not be a fearless swimmer, but she would sure have fun trying.。

大学英语考试专业英语八级TEM8模拟题2020年(108)(总分100, 做题时间155分钟)翻译题1.人生之路谁不走?只是走路时别忽略了一路的良辰美景。

一个人工作的地方是小的，居住的家是小的，社交的圈子是小的，有的人就越来越不满这缺乏变化的单调。

有的人却总是怡然自得，随遇而安。

世界浩渺，一个人只能居于一隅。

比海洋大的是天空，比天空大的是心灵，因为这小小的心灵内住着一只时起时落的想象鸟。

大碗喝茶解渴，却说不上是怎样的好。

一心想得到的东西终于得到了，失去的却很多很多，而失去的原来比得到的可能还要好。

This statement has some element of truth, but it must be pointed out that they also bring some problems which never exist before. For one thing, many shared bikes users are in lack of occupational self-discipline, parking the bicycles at random. For another thing, they seldom show public awareness, disregarding the rules on city management. As a result, under a slack supervision system, these activities are bringing negative influence to the convenience of the citizen’s normal life. In this situation, traffic jams often break out, particularly around the public places during the rush hours. Gradually, it is difficult to maintain a clean environment in the urban regions. And the orderly traffic is vanishing frommany cities which have introduced these bicycles.全文：题材2：诚信话题成文套写：成文套写：The essays above, from different perspectives, mainly discuss the issue of plagiarism at campus. By providing concrete background information, reliable statistics and in-depth analysis, the articles focus on the reasons for the plagiarizing behaviors, as can be seen in the following.There’s no denying the fact that many students don’t have enough time to followup their academic studies. Under pressure, they usually find it easy to copy ideas or information from other sources. As far as the students can see, this statement might have some element of truth, but it must be pointed out that the lack of self-discipline is a major factor in the issue of plagiarism. For one thing, many college students are not willing to spend much time on learning. For another thing, they seldom show an honest attitude, disregarding the rules on academic studies. Under a slack supervision system, these activities are bringing negative influence to many students'academic performance. In this situation, it is difficult for them to maintain learning level. Gradually, scientific attitude and creative spirit are vanishing from the campus.This trend, I believe, will still exist in many universities in the future. So in the issue of plagiarism, it is of essence that an effective feedback mechanism be set up. And the relevant department can make strict rules to punish those students who steal ideas or information from other sources. In sense, it is not why this issue exists in our society, but what should be done to handle it properly. This idea might be traditional, but at least rational and realistic under scrutiny.总结：到底应该背什么？题材2：诚信话题：成文和套写This trend, I believe, will still exist in many universities in the future. So in the issue of plagiarism, it is of essence that an effective feedback mechanism be set up. And the relevant department can make strict rules to punish those students who steal ideas or information from other sources. In sense, it is not why this issue exists in our society, but what should be done to handle it properly.题材3：文化题目的思路参考文章：范文：The essays above, from different perspectives, mainly discuss the issue of multiculturalism and monoculturalism. By providing concrete background information, reliable statistics and in-depth analysis, the articles focus on the co-relationship between the two approaches dealing with cultural identity: diversity or domination, as can be seen in the following.There’s no denying the fact that there used to be a period, in which one cultural pattern might be superior to another, hence the possibility that certain minority groups are in the status of being suppressed or dominated. As far as I can see, this statement might have some element of truth, but it must be pointed out that cultural diversity is the growing trend at the background of globalization. For one thing, each culture has a long history during the development of a country, representing the sum total of wisdom that belongs to a particular ethnic group. For another thing, in the process of social evolution, this cultural form gradually becomes an element of ancient civilization and a part of traditional heritage. In this situation, the individual cultural distinction is not only a symbol of the folk values in a given region, but also a n image of a country in the international community. The conclusion is that it is difficult to achieve monoculturalism in the world today.T o sum up, I’d like to emphasize my point of view. Multiculturalism is the future trend, rather than monoculturalism. This tendency, I believe, will still exist in many parts of this planet. So in the issue of cultural interaction, it is of essence that an effective feedback mechanism be set up in each nation. And the relevant department can make a series of plans to promote cultural interaction, instead of attempting to dominate the culture of another country. This idea might be traditional, but at least rational and realistic under scrutiny.文化题目好词好句题材4：教育和择业原文（2017年真题）参考范文：The essays above, from different perspectives, mainly discuss the issue of job hopping. By providing concrete background information, reliable statistics and in-depth analysis, the articles focus on advantages and drawbacks of job changing. But in my view, the benefit of job hopping far exceeds the potential disadvantages, as can be seen in the following.There’s no denying the fact that it is somewhat difficult for some company clerks to seek a new position in the market, especially in the current economic slump. So it sounds safe if one chooses to work in a company, rather than risking a well-paid position for an uncertain future. This statement might have some element of truth, but it must be pointed out that those aspiring employees can still benefit greatly from their daring decision. For one thing, they acquire new professional knowledge in a new company, meanwhile greatly improving their practical working skills. For another thing, in the process of job transfer, these clerks gradually develop new thinking pattern, showing more creativity and inspiration. In this situation, their overall quality is tremendously promoted, hence more opportunities in the market place. The conclusion is that job hopping might be a bold option, but it is a beginning to seek career achievement and personal development, particularly for those who have more working skills.To sum up, I’d like to emphasize my point of view. In the current social sett ing, it is a growing trend that young employees seek new development, instead of sticking to a dead-end job. A decent job might bring people handsome salary, yearly bonus and paid vacation. But it cannot replace a desire for knowledge, abilities and personal achievement. For those people with ambition and aspiration, job hopping is still an option.变形题目1）2018年考题：Whether to seek perfection2）大纲样题：On-line Education.题材5：网络：（人工智能，网络课程）参考范文：好词好句代的will give place to silicon chips. 总结3：基础薄弱考生：背熟模板不想模板，要多背不想多背，要多套“模板”“反“模板：别人是顺手拈来你是海量背诵题材6：时尚类型原文：冰桶挑战，真人秀（2016年考题）参考范文：practice that highlights one’s personalities and self-image.

2020年考研《英语》试题及答案(卷八)

2020年考研《英语》试题及答案（卷八）Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting herd,”William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit”carries a negative connotation.So it seems paradoxical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation. But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we can even create entirely new brain cells that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks. 1_____________________________All of us work through problems in ways of which we're unaware, says Dawna Markova, author of “The Open Mind”. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the capacity to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, relationally (or collaboratively) and innovatively. 2________________________The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us inherently use our innovative and collaborative modes of thought. 3__________________ This emphasis clearly leads to ordinary performance. On the contrary, knowing what you're good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.4________________________ Figure out what has worked for you when you've learned in the past, and you can draw your own map for developing additional skills and behaviors for the future. Ms. Ryan says, “If you have a pathway to learning, use it because that's going to be easier than creating an entirely new pathway in your brain.”Ms. Ryan and Ms. Markova have found what they call three zones of existence: comfort, stretch and stress. Comfort is the realm of existing habit. Stress occurs when a challenge is so far beyond current experience as to be overwhelming. It's that stretch zone in the middle —activities that feel a bit awkward and unfamiliar —where true change occurs.Getting into the stretch zone is good for you, according to Ms. Ryan. It helps keep your brain healthy. It turns out that unless we continue to learn new things, which challenges our brains to create new pathways, they literally begin to weaken, which may result in brain diseases. She recommends practicing a technique called kaizen, which calls for tiny, continuous improvements.5__________________________ That can be fatal in business, particularly for executives who surround themselves with like-thinkers. If seniority and promotion are based on similarity to those at the top, chances are strong that the company lacks intellectual diversity.[A] This is where developing new habits comes in. If you're an analytical or procedural thinker, you learn in different ways thansomeone who is inherently innovative or collaborative.[B] Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try —the more we step outside our comfort zone —the more inherently creative we become, both in the workplace and in our personal lives.[C] After the confusion, the brain begins organizing the new input, ultimately creating new synaptic connections if the process is repeated enough.[D] “This breaks the major rule in the American belief system —that anyone can do anything,”explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book “This Year I Will...”[E] But if, during creation of that new habit, the “Great Decider”steps in to protest against taking the unfamiliar path, people may keep doing the same thing over and over again.[F] At teenage years, however, the brain shuts down half of that capacity, preserving only those modes of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.[G] Simultaneously, take a look at how colleagues approach challenges, Ms. Markova suggests. We tend to believe that those who think the way we do are smarter than those who don't.【参考答案】1. B 2. F 3. D 4. A 5. G1.【正确答案】B【解答过程】从文中给出的内容我们粗略地知道文章谈论的是有关开发新习惯引发创新的话题。

之所以造成上述状况，除了宏观调控不力以外，不难发现中国通信企业普遍缺乏资金投入。

中国电子工业部已制定了通信制造业发展的“本地化”方针。

一方面，大力开发生产具有自主知识产权的通信设备；另一方面，鼓励和促使外国公司向中国转移技术，建立合资企业。

SSS_TEXT_QUSTI分值: 25答案:Chinese switchboards are one of few ** products that **pare to those made overseas, but unfortunately many foreign firms are dumping switchboards and switchboard parts onto the Chinese market, making the going rather tough for those Chinese **munications manufacturers that do show some promise. Many Chinese firms, although they turn out good products, find it hard to raise necessary capital. The Ministry of Electronics is now formulating policies to ensure that Chinese firms have a fair chance at development, by requiring more technology transfers from overseas firms and by ensuring the intellectual property rights of Chinese manufacturers. The main vehicle for this new policy is to be joint-venture firms.背景介绍本篇节选自《今日中国》的《群雄逐鹿的中国电信市场》，作者吕晖。

A (2019·江西省三校联考)A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to“read” human personalities.The eyes，they say，are the windows to the soul.And if that is true，computers and robots powered by sophisticated(复杂的) artificial intelligence algorithms(演算法) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul.That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality，conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality，”wrote the researchers，led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher，whose team followed 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements，then determined their personality traits with“well-established questionnaires”for determining the personality type，according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.The researchers fed the data into their AI algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person's major personality traits，such as “neuroticism，extraversion(外向)，agreeableness，conscientiousness，as well as curiosity”，the scientists wrote.“The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high-tech devices，even robots，allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines，”Loetscher said.“People are always looking for improved，personalized services.Today's robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non-verbal information，“Loetscher said in a statement quoted by The Indian Express.This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural，and better at interpreting human social signals.”The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies，according to a summary in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一项人工智能计算机和机器人通过读人眼球的运动从而一窥人的个性的研究。

Confucius: The Philosopher of HarmonyIn the vast tapestry of Chinese history, Confucius stands tall as a beacon of wisdom and morality. Born in 551 BCE into a humble family, Confucius, or Kong Fuzi as he is respectfully known, revolutionized the intellectual and ethical landscape of his era. A prolific thinker and educator, he founded a school of thought known as Confucianism, which emphasized personal rectitude, social harmony, and the importance of education in shaping character.Confucius's philosophy was rooted in the belief that morality and ethics are the foundation of a well-ordered society. He preached the importance of filial piety towards one's parents, loyalty towards one's superiors, and the golden rule of "Do not do unto others what you do not want done to yourself." These principles, known as the "Five Constant Virtues," formed the core of Confucian ethics and have deeply influenced Chinese culture and society ever since.Confucius's teaching methods were innovative. He emphasized the importance of active learning throughdiscussion and reflection, rather than rote memorization. He believed that true wisdom comes from understanding and applying knowledge, not just from memorizing facts. His School attracted students from all walks of life, who came to study under his guidance and eventually became known as Confucian scholars or "gentlemen."Confucius's influence extends far beyond the boundaries of China. His teachings have been translated into numerous languages and have influenced thinkers and philosophers across the globe. The principles of Confucianism have found resonance in diverse cultures, from East Asia to Europe and beyond.Today, Confucius is remembered not only as a great philosopher but also as a symbol of cultural andintellectual exchange. His legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of millions, who continue to draw inspiration from his timeless wisdom.**孔子：和谐之哲人**在中国历史的长河中，孔子如同一座巍峨的智慧与道德灯塔。

2020英语专八阅读(YBJ)

2020英语专八阅读（YBJ）15minPassage oneA hit TV drama in China asks hard questions about right and wrongIts moral code is messyIn theory “The Bad Kids”, this summer’s most talked-about Chinese television drama, is a thriller about a teacher turned mass killer, matching wits with three plucky children in a quiet coastal town. In practice, like all really successful horror stories, the 12-part series is also a window onto things that frighten people in their everyday lives. A case can be made that the drama—despite its impressive body-count and inventive murder locations (a seafood buffet will never look the same again)—is really a meditation about how hard it is to be a good parent, or a good person, in a society that is as competitive, stressful and unequal as modern China.In an era when entertainers are under ever-stricter orders to promote “positive energy”and the joys of Communist Party rule, that is quite a subversive theme. As a result, “The Bad Kids”offers a case-study about how clever film-makers must operate in the China of 2020. A sensitive, complex examination of the human condition, it is sprinkled with upbeat, censor-friendly details, some of them jarringly at odds with the rest of the plot. The trade-offs have worked. Official news outlets have praised the series. The Chinese public, for their part, have also given it an exceptionally high score of 8.9 out of 10 on Douban, a big online rating site.The drama is adapted from a novel by Zijin Chen, a dark study of evil, both adult and juvenile. The screen version, made by iQiyi, a Netflix-like streaming video company, depicts its three young heroes as mostly well-intentioned rebels, one of whom is tempted by evil. The other two speak with a moral clarity that eludes many adults in the show. Repeatedly, the murderous teacher plays on the power of education to change lives in China. He distracts a suspicious policeman with advice about his daughter’s maths grades, and offers free tutoring to the children who have rumbled him. His youngest tormentor, a sweet-natured girl known as Pupu, sternly replies: “Is school where you learned to kill people?”In the book, the children are angry victims of adult betrayal, ranging from sexual abuse to being disowned by a divorced father. Two youths in the novel are the children of murderers, executed by the state. The television drama offers a nuanced view of parenthood. Viewers see the flaws of a mother whom society might call a model parent, pushing her clever son to study until his bedroom is filled with academic trophies. He will have time for friends once he has a good job, the mother snaps at a teacher concerned by her son’s loneliness. Yet that mother is scared, not wicked. Divorced from a cheating husband, she sees education as a way to armour her son against a harsh world. “Promise you will be safe,”she tells her child. They are the most loving words she utters.One question comes up time and again: what does it mean to be good? Scenes of supposed hospitality—banquets at which the young are handed cash in red envelopes, or junior family members are bullied to drink alcohol—are exposed as cold and empty. “A man without ambition isn’t a man,”the maths teacher is told at a dinner, as in-laws dissect his career prospects. The drama challenges the idea that respectability and virtue are earned by fulfilling the family, social and professional obligations that cost ordinary Chinese so much time and agony.Even the law offers little help in defining virtue. “Whether your dad is a good or a bad person is decided by a judge, not by you or me,”a gruff policeman tells Yan Liang, a prisoner’s child. He is proved wrong when Yan Liang’s father, a gangster sent to a mental hospital with drug-induced brain damage, redeems himself with a fleeting, almost miraculous proof of love for his son.Several characters gain moral authority through such private yet sincere acts of affection. Viewers mostly respect a police captain because they see his sweet, bantering-yet-supportive relationship with his daughter, not because he has stars on his epaulettes. Yan Liang, a ragged teenage runaway, steals a blanket for Pupu and agonises aloud about following his father into criminality. When put to a life-and-death test, though, he does the right thing. “I didn’t become a bad person,”he gasps with relief to the gruff policeman who has become a mentor. It is a moving moment. The censors’hand can be felt soon afterwards, when Yan Liang abruptly declares an ambition to join the police as an adult.Truth is a slippery concept in “The Bad Kids”. Many lies are told, sometimes for selfish reasons, but also for fear of losing something precious. Truth-telling is at its most admirable when offered as an act of love, for instance by a child who cannot bear the loneliness of deceiving a parent for ever. This is a messy moral code, far from the tidy, flag-waving pieties favoured by party chiefs. The show’s popularity is cheering. In a China that rings with the din of patronising, bossy propaganda, viewers crave a bit of messiness.1.What can we know about the passage？A.“The bad kids”is the most prevalent TV series this summer.B.“The bad kids”is a bantering TV series.C.“The bad kids”is too long but it is worth watching.D.“The bad kids”reflects a lot of society problems.2.What does the word “subversive”mean in para.4（第四段）？A.破坏性的B 隐秘的C 积极的D 黑暗的3.How did the killer make the policeman unfocused?A.He distracts with advice about his students.B.He makes it with advice about his daughter's maths grades.C.He plays on the power of education to change lives in China.D.He offers free tutoring to the children.4.What can we learn from the“Mother”in para.6?(第六段）A.She is worried about his son's loneliness.B.She attaches much important to education.C.She considers her son as the best studentD.She regards education as the most precious.5.Which can be the best title of this passage?A.Truth----A slippery conceptB.Wit -----Three plucky children.C.Reflextions -----The bad kidsD.Truthtelling-----A moral codeKey DABBC。

2020年英语专八真题作文题目

2020年英语专八真题作文题目英文回答：In the face of burgeoning global challenges, collaboration among nations has emerged as an imperativefor fostering sustainable development and addressing the complexities of the 21st century. While both multilateral and bilateral approaches to international cooperation play vital roles, the former holds distinct advantages in promoting comprehensive and inclusive solutions.One of the primary advantages of multilateral cooperation lies in its broad representation of diverse perspectives and expertise. By bringing together a range of nations with varied interests, capacities, and experiences, multilateral forums foster inclusive dialogue and encourage the exchange of innovative ideas. This collective wisdom enables the development of policies and strategies that are both comprehensive and adaptable to a wide range of contexts.Moreover, multilateral cooperation provides a platform for consensus-building and the negotiation of binding agreements. Unlike bilateral agreements, which are often characterized by power imbalances and the pursuit of self-interests, multilateral frameworks promote equitable participation and ensure that the voices of all stakeholders are heard. This consensus-based approach enhances the legitimacy of agreements and facilitates their implementation across multiple jurisdictions.Furthermore, multilateral cooperation fosters a sense of shared responsibility and accountability. By participating in multilateral forums, nations recognize their interdependence and the need to work collectively to address common challenges. This shared sense of purpose promotes a culture of cooperation and encourages nations to invest in long-term solutions that benefit all parties involved.While bilateral cooperation can be valuable for addressing specific issues between two nations, it oftenlacks the inclusivity and consensus-building capacity of multilateral cooperation. Bilateral agreements can lead to exclusive arrangements that favor the interests of the more powerful party, undermining the principles of equity and fairness. Additionally, bilateral agreements may fail to address broader issues that require the involvement of a wider range of stakeholders.In conclusion, while both multilateral and bilateral cooperation have their respective roles in international relations, multilateral cooperation offers distinct advantages in addressing the complex challenges of the 21st century. Its broad representation, consensus-building mechanisms, and sense of shared responsibility make it an indispensable tool for promoting sustainable development and fostering a more just and equitable global order.中文回答：多边合作在促进可持续发展中的优势。
