2018年12月雅思大作文合集（上）

2018年12月雅思大作文合集（上）本期大作文供稿：章跃我们先看☟☟☟12月8日真题（写作细节）：Some people believe that schools should choose their students according to their abilities. Others think that students with different abilities should learn together.Discuss both of the views and give your opinion.【Introduction】There have been proposals that students should be divided and grouped according to their abilities, including how capable they are respectively. 前一句话把信息交待清楚完善，后一句话就依托前一句话所建立起来的语境写个短句【写作法：语句间的配合】 There has meanwhile been opposition. If I had to take one side, I would choose the former. 喜欢套话么？这一句就是。

【以Body部分的一个Paragraph为例，分解写作如下】First, the divided admission is favorable to both teaching and learning, and the one-group arrangement may be unfavorable. 中心句之后，讨论“为什么”/“怎么样”Onecircumstance is when students’ scholastic aptitudes are at the same high level, there is no waiting for the slow-movers, whose response can take forever, and the progress of teaching is smooth. 语法/句法：长难句：主句的表语部分是个名词性从句，名词行从句又由状语从句和复合句组成 By contrast, in a classroom where students’ abilities vary, 语法/句法：换用介词短语的状语形式，不同于上一句的when引到的状语从句 teachers need to do the juggling and may still be too fast or too slow for certain students, under which circumstance 语法/句法：主句的内容再作为从句的状语信息 the flow of teaching is never appropriate. 写作法：两个长难/信息丰富句后跟短句Meanwhile, this mode of division also benefits students. 写作法：总述的句子比较短，信息较少，“为什么”/“怎么样”的句子较长信息较多 When students at the same level learn together, they learn at the synchronized pace. Moving at the same pace, 写作法：通过“重复”（但是在表述上替换）来建立语句间的联系 the whole class learn with efficiency and effectiveness. They are not stalled by the slow learners or need to catch up with the high-achievers.【Body部分的另一个Paragraph略】【Conclusion略】我们然后看☟☟☟12月1日真题（语句间的“长长短短”——长短搭配）：Some people argue that the spending of money on the development of technology of space exploration is not justifiable. They believe that the money should be spent on other things.这一句也是讨论的核心，不要不讨论；同时，题目暗示了比较关系：space exploration vs. other things To what extentdo you agree or disagree?【Introduction】Developing space technologies, such as satellites, space shuttles, and space stations, is worth the money.前一句话把信息交待清楚完善，后一句话就依托前一句话所建立起来的语境写个短句【写作法：语句间的配合】No matter what the sum写作法：通过“重复”（但是在表述上替换）来建立语句间的联系 is, it should not be spent elsewhere.【Body部分的第一个Paragraph，讨论作者立场的反面】*Admittedly, a government budget is divided, and every sector deserves their fair shares. 中句* In other words, those other undertakings definitely matter, and the investment is necessary. 中句* However, it would be unfair if they took more than the fair amounts. 短句* Compared with other tasks, which serve to improve people’s life quality, keeping a nation affluent, healthy, and civilized, space exploration matters to the survival of the entire humanity, an issue more critical than life quality. 长句* Humans probe the surroundings of our mother planet and travel further to study stars that interact with the Earth to see whether we are in a safe environment. 长句【Body部分的另一个Paragraph，讨论作者的立场】* Meanwhile, space projects are to search outer space for other planets and useful matters. 中句* This makes perfect sense. 短句* Humans, one day, in the distant or foreseeable future, will have to migrate to another planet, and the search for another habitable planet is necessary. 长句* Some matters may be found exclusively in space andessential for many studies conducted on the Earth. 长句* If the funding were pulled and humans were therefore caged in our little world, how would humans be able to make even a marginal breakthrough in the many other fields where research has been stagnant despite the billions of dollars of input? 长句* The breakthrough will happen in no way.短句【Conclusion略】。

注重生态可持续性和健康的食品选择。

填空题7，判断题 6题型分布与答案参考答案回忆待补充相关拓展The rapid spread of Australia's cane toad pestsThey are toxic invaders that have conquered swathes of northernAustralia as they continue their seemingly irrepressible march westtowards the Indian Ocean.Packed with poison and supremely adaptable, the dreaded cane toad, orBufo marinus, has few friends in Australia, where a massive scientific andcommunity effort has failed to stop their advance."They probably have moved about halfway through that tropical regionof Western Australia," explained Rick Shine, a professor in biology at the University of Sydney. "They are in very inaccessible country now in the Kimberley. It is very hard to get detailed information on exactly where the front is but it seems to be moving at 50 to 60km (31 to 37 miles) per annum."The warty amphibians move only during the wet season. Although tracking studies have shown many hop less than 10 metres a day, those atthe front line have grown bigger and faster."The guys at the invasion front up in the tropics are moving often kilometres in a single night and they have evolved this very distinctive behaviour," Prof Shine told the BBC."They've actually evolved differences in shape and physiology as well. Essentially they have turned into these dispersal machines and they moveas far as they can, as fast as they can." Experts are reluctantto speculateon how many of these unwelcome pests have been unleashed across Australia's north. They are prolific breeders - some estimates put the figure at around 1.5 billion - but it is impossible to know for sure.Australia has a long and depressing history of inadvertently introducingwrecking ball species as pets and livestock, or for sport. Examples include foxes, pigs and rabbits, goats, camels and cats. Invasive plants and fish have also had a dramatic effect on native flora and fauna, but it is the cane toad that is widely reviled above all else.How did they arrive?For Australia, the grim story began in the sugar cane plantations of Puerto Rico, which had imported giant toads from South America to eatthe grubs that were devouring the crop.Word spread of the successes of these bug-catching amphibians and by the 1930s, the cane toads were being sent around the world. In 1935, 101toads arrived in Far North Queensland in areas including Cairns and Innisfail, before being bred in captivity. Their progeny was released on missions to hunt and kill cane-destroying beetles on Australia's north-eastcoast.have snared countless numbers over the Community toad “musters”years. In 2005 David Tollner, a former federal MP, famously urged Northern Territory residents to help squash the problem with their golfclubs and cricket bats - effectively turning eradication into sport.Then there was the so-called "bottom-line" defence supported by the RSPCA in Darwin, which recommended killing captured amphibians bysmearing them with haemorrhoid cream, which acted as an anaesthetic.In 2009, toads crossed the Western Australian border with the Northern Territory, more than 2,000km from the site of their original release 74 years earlier.It was a dark day that conservationists had both dreaded and seen coming. The invasion penetrated the Kimberley region, an area three times the size of England and regarded as a wilderness frontier. "Sadly,the Kimberley has lost the battle to the cane toad. They have invaded close to 70% of the Kimberley, so the toads are well and truly on their way to the northern coastal areas," said Lee Scott-Virtue, the president of Kimberley Toadbusters, a group she set up in 2004."It has been a really disturbing lesson. The problem is they are adaptingto dry, desert conditions. They are adjusting to very cold climates and they are actually starting to breed in saline water."Most recent discoveryOn Wednesday, wildlife rangers revealed a cane toad was found beside aroad near Mount Kosciuszko in southern New South Wales. Authoritiessuspect it was carried in by a tourist, and have not found other evidenceof the species there. Nonetheless, they are concerned. "There are certainlyenvironment and times of the year when such an animal could persist(survive)," Dave Woods, a state wildlife officer, told the AustralianBroadcasting Corp. He said toads could provide a fresh threat toendangered species in the area, a national park.The toads are devourers of insects and other small prey, but they are attheir most destructive when they are eaten by larger predators, such assnakes, goannas and freshwater crocodiles. A large gland on the toad'sshoulder is loaded with deadly cardiac toxins.In an unusual move, researchers are trying to train predators to avoidlarger cane toads by feeding them smaller specimens, which make themill but should not kill them. These so-called taste-aversion strategiesinclude feeding sausages made of minced amphibian to northern quolls, acarnivorous marsupial. They eat the meat, which causes vomiting, in thehope it will put them off eating toads again. A large-scale trial is due tostart in Western Australia soon. Corrin Everitt, from the state'sDepartment of Parks and Wildlife, told the BBC that while the projectcould ensure fewer large predators were lost, it would not halt theinvasion. "At the moment we're predicting the toads to take at least fiveyears to reach the Broome area," she said. "They are an amazing animalwhen you take away all the ugliness about them. You just wish that ournative species could be as adaptable and successful in colonising areas asthey are."Passage 2：文章内容讲述Mr. Flynn偶然间发明的一种water filter,不仅便宜好用，而且还讲述了water filter的制作过程。

He was a really good friend of mine. I met Paul when I was 6 or 7 years old，he was tall and slim. I first met him in school because he was my desk mate, and we found out we lived in the same area. Since then we had spent almost 6 years together until he was transferred to another school.We did lots of things together when we were neighbours, classmates and good friends. We used to go to school and study together, we also played at our home, read and sometimes went to picnic together.We had many common interests, for example, both of us liked playing video games, reading stories, running in the field, watching cartoons, animated movies. In addition, I think we had similar taste in food, we both liked sweets. At that time, we went to candy shop with our parents almost every weekend.I believe that this friendship was particularly important for me at that moment because it is good to have companionship and fun when you are growing up. More importantly, these happy memories are related to my childhood, which had become an unrepeatable part of my life.12月1日雅思写作真题回忆：TASK 1类型：柱状图题目：The charts below show the percentage of males and females who were overweight in Australia between 1980 and 2010.

剑桥雅思18 t1阅读解析

剑桥雅思18 t1阅读解析
剑桥雅思18年的第一篇阅读材料是一篇关于环境污染和海洋保护的文章。

文
章首先介绍了全球范围内环境问题的严重性，然后重点探讨了塑料垃圾对海洋生态系统的影响。

文章指出，环境问题在全球范围内已成为一大挑战。

塑料垃圾特别令人担忧，
因为它们难以降解，并且大量的塑料垃圾进入海洋，给海洋生态系统带来了巨大的破坏。

塑料垃圾不仅会导致海洋生物误食和绝灭，还会破坏海洋生态系统的平衡，影响渔业和旅游业等相关产业。

文章进一步介绍了塑料垃圾的来源和传播途径。

塑料垃圾主要来自日常生活中
的消费品和包装材料，并且通过水流和风力等途径进入海洋。

这些塑料垃圾在海洋中会分解成微小颗粒，称为“微塑料”，它们难以清除，对海洋生物造成长期的危害。

为了解决这一问题，文章提出了一些解决方案。

首先，减少使用塑料，并促进
可持续发展和环保意识，以减少塑料垃圾的产生。

其次，增加塑料回收和再利用的方式，以减少塑料垃圾的排放和对自然环境的损害。

此外，加强国际合作，制定更严格的法规和政策，以保护海洋生态系统和促进环境可持续发展。

总结来说，剑桥雅思18年的第一篇阅读材料通过介绍环境污染和海洋保护问题，提醒我们塑料垃圾对海洋生态系统的危害，并提出了解决方案。

这篇文章强调了保护环境的重要性，并呼吁人们共同努力，共同保护我们的地球。

由于身体的特征能够适应这种环境，也有其它方面的好处。

比如 silver ant，腿长，不怕高温沙漠，身体与地面保持距离；中午气温炎热，其它昆虫受不了，所以 silver ant 有机会找到困在高温环境的其它动物或昆虫作为食物，这样的高温也会躲避它的天敌蜥蜴，因为蜥蜴对高温很敏感。

2018年英语一真题阅读理解题型及答案解析完整版(凯程首发)

2018年英语一真题阅读理解题型及答案解析完整版（凯程首发）来源：凯程青青老师Section II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(40points)Text1Among the annoying challenges facing the middle class is one that will probably go unmentioned in the next presidential campaign:What happens when the robots come for their jobs?Don't dismiss that possibility entirely.About half of U.S.jobs are at high risk of being automated,according to a University of Oxford study,with the middle class disproportionately squeezed.Lower-income jobs like gardening or day care don't appeal to robots.But many middle-class occupations-trucking,financial advice,software engineering—have aroused their interest,or soon will.The rich own the robots,so they will be fine.This isn't to be alarmist.Optimists point out that technological upheaval has benefited workers in the past.The Industrial Revolution didn't go so well for Luddites whose jobs were displaced by mechanized looms,but it eventually raised living standards and created more jobs than it destroyed.Likewise,automation should eventually boost productivity,stimulate demand by driving down prices,and free workers from hard,boring work.But in the medium term,middle-class workers may need a lot of help adjusting.The first step,as Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee argue in The Second Machine Age, should be rethinking education and job training.Curriculums—from grammar school to college-should evolve to focus less on memorizing facts and more on creativity and complex communication.Vocational schools should do a better job of fostering problem-solving skills and helping students work alongside robots.Online education can supplement the traditional kind.It could make extra training and instruction affordable.Professionals trying to acquire new skills will be able to do so without going into debt.The challenge of coping with automation underlines the need for the U.S.to revive its fading business dynamism:Starting new companies must be made easier.In previous eras of drastic technological change,entrepreneurs smoothed the transition by dreaming up ways to combine labor and machines.The best uses of3D printers and virtual reality haven't been invented yet.The U.S.needs the new companies that will invent them.Finally,because automation threatens to widen the gap between capital income and labor income,taxes and the safety net will have to be rethought.Taxes on low-wage labor need to be cut, and wage subsidies such as the earned income tax credit should be expanded:This would boost incomes,encourage work,reward companies for job creation,and reduce inequality.Technology will improve society in ways big and small over the next few years,yet this will be little comfort to those who find their lives and careers upended by automation.Destroying themachines that are coming for our jobs would be nuts.But policies to help workers adapt will be indispensable.21.Who will be most threatened by automation?[A]Leading politicians.[B]Low-wage laborers.[C]Robot owners.[D]Middle-class workers.22.Which of the following best represent the author’s view?[A]Worries about automation are in fact groundless.[B]Optimists'opinions on new tech find little support.[C]Issues arising from automation need to be tackled[D]Negative consequences of new tech can be avoidedcation in the age of automation should put more emphasis on[A]creative potential.[B]job-hunting skills.[C]individual needs.[D]cooperative spirit.24.The author suggests that tax policies be aimed at[A]encouraging the development of automation.[B]increasing the return on capital investment.[C]easing the hostility between rich and poor.[D]preventing the income gap from widening.25.In this text,the author presents a problem with[A]opposing views on it.[B]possible solutions to it.[C]its alarming impacts.[D]its major variations.Text2A new survey by Harvard University finds more than two-thirds of young Americans disapprove of President Trump’s use of Twitter.The implication is that Millennials prefer news from the White House to be filtered through other source,Not a president’s social media platform.Most Americans rely on social media to check daily headlines.Yet as distrust has risen toward all media,people may be starting to beef up their media literacy skills.Such a trend is badly needed.During the2016presidential campaign,nearly a quarter of web content shared by Twitter users in the politically critical state of Michigan was fake news,according to the University of Oxford.And a survey conducted for BuzzFeed News found44percent of Facebook users rarely or never trust news from the media giant.Young people who are digital natives are indeed becoming more skillful at separating fact from fiction in cyberspace.A Knight Foundation focus-group survey of young people between ages14and24found they use“distributed trust”to verify stories.They cross-check sources and prefer news from different perspectives—especially those that are open about any bias.“Many young people assume a great deal of personal responsibility for educating themselves and actively seeking out opposing viewpoints,”the survey concluded.Such active research can have another effect.A2014survey conducted in Australia,Britain, and the United States by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that young people’s reliance on social media led to greater political engagement.Social media allows users to experience news events more intimately and immediately while also permitting them to re-share news as a projection of their values and interests.This forces users to be more conscious of their role in passing along information.A survey by Barna research group found the top reason given by Americans for the fake news phenomenon is“reader error,”more so than made-up stories or factual mistakes in reporting.About a third say the problem of fake news lies in“misinterpretation or exaggeration of actual news”via social media.In other words,the choice to share news on social media may be the heart of the issue.“This indicates there is a real personal responsibility in counteracting this problem,”says Roxanne Stone,editor in chief at Barna Group.So when young people are critical of an over-tweeting president,they reveal a mental discipline in thinking skills–and in their choices on when to share on social media.26.According to the Paragraphs1and2,many young Americans cast doubts on[A]the justification of the news-filtering practice.[B]people’s preference for social media platforms.[C]the administrations ability to handle information.[D]social media was a reliable source of news.27.The phrase“beer up”(Line2,Para.2)is closest in meaning to[A]sharpen[B]define[C]boast[D]share28.According to the knight foundation survey,young people[A]tend to voice their opinions in cyberspace.[B]verify news by referring to diverse resources.[C]have s strong sense of responsibility.[D]like to exchange views on“distributed trust”29.The Barna survey found that a main cause for the fake news problem is[A]readers outdated values.[B]journalists’biased reporting[C]readers’misinterpretation[D]journalists’made-up stories.30.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A]A Rise in Critical Skills for Sharing News Online[B]A Counteraction Against the Over-tweeting Trend[C]The Accumulation of Mutual Trust on Social Media.[D]The Platforms for Projection of Personal Interests.Text3Any fair-minded assessment of the dangers of the deal between Britain's National Health Service(NHS)and DeepMind must start by acknowledging that both sides mean well.DeepMind is one of the leading artificial intelligence(AI)companies in the world.The potential of this workapplied to healthcare is very great,but it could also lead to further concentration of power in the tech giants.It Is against that background that the information commissioner,Elizabeth Denham, has issued her damning verdict against the Royal Free hospital trust under the NHS,which handed over to DeepMind the records of1.6million patients In2015on the basis of a vague agreement which took far too little account of the patients'rights and their expectations of privacy.DeepMind has almost apologized.The NHS trust has mended its ways.Further arrangements-and there may be many-between the NHS and DeepMind will be carefully scrutinised to ensure that all necessary permissions have been asked of patients and all unnecessary data has been cleaned.There are lessons about informed patient consent to learn.But privacy is not the only angle in this case and not even the most important.Ms Denham chose to concentrate the blame on the NHS trust,since under existing law it“controlled”the data and DeepMind merely“processed"it.But this distinction misses the point that it is processing and aggregation,not the mere possession of bits,that gives the data value.The great question is who should benefit from the analysis of all the data that our lives now generate.Privacy law builds on the concept of damage to an individual from identifiable knowledge about them.That misses the way the surveillance economy works.The data of an individual there gains its value only when it is compared with the data of countless millions more.The use of privacy law to curb the tech giants in this instance feels slightly maladapted.This practice does not address the real worry.It is not enough to say that the algorithms DeepMind develops will benefit patients and save lives.What matters is that they will belong to a private monopoly which developed them using public resources.If software promises to save lives on the scale that dugs now can,big data may be expected to behave as a big pharm has done.We are still at the beginning of this revolution and small choices now may turn out to have gigantic consequences later.A long struggle will be needed to avoid a future of digital feudalism.Ms Denham's report is a welcome start.31.Wha is true of the agreement between the NHS and DeepMind?[A]It caused conflicts among tech giants.[B]It failed to pay due attention to patient’s rights.[C]It fell short of the latter's expectations[D]It put both sides into a dangerous situation.32.The NHS trust responded to Denham's verdict with[A]empty promises.[B]tough resistance.[C]necessary adjustments.[D]sincere apologies.33.The author argues in Paragraph2that[A]privacy protection must be secured at all costs.[B]leaking patients'data is worse than selling it.[C]making profits from patients'data is illegal.[D]the value of data comes from the processing of it34.According to the last paragraph,the real worry arising from this deal is[A]the vicious rivalry among big pharmas.[B]the ineffective enforcement of privacy law.[C]the uncontrolled use of new software.[D]the monopoly of big data by tech giants.35.The author's attitude toward the application of AI to healthcare is[A]ambiguous.[B]cautious.[C]appreciative.[D]contemptuous.Text4The U.S.Postal Service(USPS)continues to bleed red ink.It reported a net loss of$5.6 billion for fiscal2016,the10th straight year its expenses have exceeded revenue.Meanwhile,it has more than$120billion in unfunded liabilities,mostly for employee health and retirement costs. There are many bankruptcies.Fundamentally,the USPS is in a historic squeeze between technological change that has permanently decreased demand for its bread-and-butter product, first-class mail,and a regulatory structure that denies management the flexibility to adjust its operations to the new realityAnd interest groups ranging from postal unions to greeting-card makers exert self-interested pressure on the USPS’s ultimate overseer-Congress-insisting that whatever else happens to the Postal Service,aspects of the status quo they depend on get protected.This is why repeated attempts at reform legislation have failed in recent years,leaving the Postal Service unable to pay its bills except by deferring vital modernization.Now comes word that everyone involved---Democrats,Republicans,the Postal Service,the unions and the system's heaviest users—has finally agreed on a plan to fix the system.Legislation is moving through the House that would save USPS an estimated$28.6billion over five years, which could help pay for new vehicles,among other survival measures.Most of the money would come from a penny-per-letter permanent rate increase and from shifting postal retirees into Medicare.The latter step would largely offset the financial burden of annually pre-funding retiree health care,thus addressing a long-standing complaint by the USPS and its union.If it clears the House,this measure would still have to get through the Senate–where someone is bound to point out that it amounts to the bare,bare minimum necessary to keep the Postal Service afloat,not comprehensive reform.There’s no change to collective bargaining at the USPS,a major omission considering that personnel accounts for80percent of the agency’s costs. Also missing is any discussion of eliminating Saturday letter delivery.That common-sense change enjoys wide public support and would save the USPS$2billion per year.But postalspecial-interest groups seem to have killed it,at least in the House.The emerging consensus around the bill is a sign that legislators are getting frightened about a politically embarrassing short-term collapse at the USPS.It is not,however,a sign that they’re getting serious about transforming the postal system for the21st century.36.The financial problem with the USPS is caused partly by[A].its unbalanced budget.[B].its rigid management.[C].the cost for technical upgrading.[D].the withdrawal of bank support.37.According to Paragraph2,the USPS fails to modernize itself due to[A].the interference from interest groups.[B].the inadequate funding from Congress.[C].the shrinking demand for postal service.[D].the incompetence of postal unions.38.The long-standing complaint by the USPS and its unions can be addressed by[A].removing its burden of retiree health care.[B].making more investment in new vehicles.[C].adopting a new rate-increase mechanism.[D].attracting more first-class mail users.39.In the last paragraph,the author seems to view legislators with[A]respect.[B]tolerance.[C]discontent.[D]gratitude.40.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A].The USPS Starts to Miss Its Good Old Days[B].The Postal Service:Keep Away from My Cheese[C].The USPS:Chronic Illness Requires a Quick Cure[D].The Postal Service Needs More than a Band-AidPart BDirections:The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order.For Questions41-45,you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A-G and filling them into the numbered boxes.Paragraphs C and F have been correctly placed.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET.(10points)A.In December of1869,Congress appointed a commission to select a site and prepare plans and cost estimates for a new State Department Building.The commission was also to consider possible arrangements for the War and Navy Departments.To the horror of some who expected a Greek Revival twin of the Treasury Building to be erected on the other side of the White House, the elaborate French Second Empire style design by Alfred Mullett was selected,and construction of a building to house all three departments began in June of1871.pleted in1875,the State Department's south wing was the first to be occupied,with its elegant four-story library(completed in1876),Diplomatic Reception Room,and Secretary's office decorated with carved wood,Oriental rugs,and stenciled wall patterns.The Navy Department moved into the east wing in1879,where elaborate wall and ceiling stenciling and marquetry floors decorated the office of the Secretary.C.The State,War,and Navy Building,as it was originally known,housed the three Executive Branch Departments most intimately associated with formulating and conducting the nation's foreign policy in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century-the period when the United States emerged as an international power.The building has housed some of the nation's most significant diplomats and politicians and has been the scene of many historic events.D.Many of the most celebrated national figures have participated in historical events that have taken place within the EEOB's granite walls.Theodore and Franklin D.Roosevelt,WilliamHoward Taft,Dwight D.Eisenhower,Lyndon B.Johnson,Gerald Ford,and George H.W.Bush all had offices in this building before becoming president.It has housed16Secretaries of the Navy, 21Secretaries of War,and24Secretaries of State.Winston Churchill once walked its corridors and Japanese emissaries met here with Secretary of State Cordell Hull after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.E.The Eisenhower Executive Office Building(EEOB)commands a unique position in both the national history and the architectural heritage of the United States.Designed by Supervising Architect of the Treasury,Alfred B.Mullett,it was built from1871to1888to house the growing staffs of the State,War,and Navy Departments,and is considered one of the best examples of French Second Empire architecture in the country.F.Construction took17years as the building slowly rose wing by wing.When the EEOB was finished,it was the largest office building in Washington,with nearly2miles of black and white tiled corridors.Almost all of the interior detail is of cast iron or plaster;the use of wood was minimized to insure fire safety.Eight monumental curving staircases of granite with over4,000 individually cast bronze balusters are capped by four skylight domes and two stained glass rotundas.G.The history of the EEOB began long before its foundations were laid.The first executive offices were constructed between1799and1820.A series of fires(including those set by the British in1814)and overcrowded conditions led to the construction of the existing Treasury Building.In1866,the construction of the North Wing of the Treasury Building necessitated the demolition of the State Department building.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.(10points)Shakespeare’s life time was coincident with a period of extraordinary activity and achievement in the drama.By the date of his birth Europe was witnessing the passing of the religious drama,and the creation of new forms under the incentive of classical tragedy and comedy.These new forms were at first mainly written by scholars and performed by amateurs,but in England,as everywhere else in western Europe,the growth of a class of professional actors was threatening to make the drama popular,whether it should be new or old,classical or medieval, literary or farcical.Court,school organizations of amateurs,and the traveling actors were all rivals in supplying a widespread desire for dramatic entertainment;and(47)no boy who went a grammar school could be ignorant that the drama was a form of literature which gave glory to Greece and Rome and might yet bring honor to England.When Shakespeare was twelve years old,the first public playhouse was built in London.For a time literature showed no interest in this public stage.Plays aiming at literary distinction were written for school or court,or for the choir boys of St.Paul’s and the royal chapel,who,however, gave plays in public as well as at court.(48)but the professional companies prospered in their permanent theaters,and university men with literature ambitions were quick to turn to these theaters as offering a means of livelihood.By the time Shakespeare was twenty-five,Lyly,Peele, and Greene had made comedies that were at once popular and literary;Kyd had written a tragedy that crowded the pit;and Marlowe had brought poetry and genius to triumph on the common stage-where they had played no part since the death of Euripides.(49)A native literary drama had been created,its alliance with the public playhouses established,and at least some of its great traditions had been begun.The development of the Elizabethan drama for the next twenty-five years is of exceptional interest to students of literary history,for in this brief period we may trace the beginning,growth, blossoming,and decay of many kinds of plays,and of many great careers.We are amazed today at the mere number of plays produced,as well as by the number of dramatists writing at the same time for this London of two hundred thousand inhabitants.(50)To realize how great was the dramatic activity,we must remember further that hosts of plays have been lost,and that probably there is no author of note whose entire work has survived.凯程考研英语一真题阅读答案解析21.选D，middle-class workers简单细节定位题，并无同义替换。

2018年剑桥雅思阅读真题解析：ThomasYoung

2018年剑桥雅思阅读真题解析：ThomasYoung对于雅思考生来说，剑桥雅思阅读题难不难？下面就和店铺一起来看看2018年剑桥雅思阅读真题解析：Thomas Young。

Thomas YoungThe Last True Know-It-AllA Thomas Young （1773-1829） contributed 63 articles to the Encyclopedia Britannica， including 46 biographical entries （mostly on scientists and classicists） and substantial essays on ＂Bridge，” ＂Chromatics，＂＂Egypt，＂＂Languages＂ and ＂Tides＂. Was someone who could write authoritatively about so many subjects a polymath，a genius or a dilettante？In an ambitious new biography， Andrew Robinson argues that Young is a good contender for the epitaph ＂the last man who knew everything.＂ Young has competition， however： The phrase，which Robinson takes for his title， also serves as the subtitle of two other recent biographies： Leonard Warren＇s 1998 life of paleontologist Joseph Leidy （1823-1891） and Paula Findlen＇s 2004 book on Athanasius Kircher （1602-1680），another polymath.B Young，of course，did more than write encyclopedia entries. He presented his first paper to the Royal Society of London at the age of 20 and was elected a Fellow a week after his 21st birthday. In the paper， Young explained the process of accommodation in the human eye on how the eye focuses properly on objects at varying distances. Young hypothesized that this was achieved by changes in the shape of the lens. Young also theorized that light traveled in waves and he believed that，to account for the ability to see in color， there must be three receptors in the eye corresponding to the three ＂principal colors＂to which the retina could respond：red，green，violet. All these hypothesis were subsequently proved to be correct.C Later in his life， when he was in his forties， Young was instrumental in cracking the code that unlocked the unknown script on the Rosetta Stone， a tablet that was ＂found＂ in Egypt by the Napoleonic army in 1799. The stone contains text in three alphabets：Greek，something unrecognizable and Egyptian hieroglyphs. The unrecognizable script is now known as demotic and， as Young deduced， is related directly to hieroglyphic. His initial work on this appeared in his Britannica entry on Egypt. In another entry， he coined the term Indo-European to describe the family of languages spoken throughout most of Europe and northern India. These are the landmark achievements of a man who was a child prodigy and who，unlike many remarkable children， did not disappear into oblivion as an adult.D Born in 1773 in Somerset in England， Young lived from an early age with his maternal grandfather， eventually leaving to attend boarding school. He haddevoured books from the age of two，and through his own initiative he excelled at Latin，Greek，mathematics and natural philosophy. After leaving school，he was greatly encouraged by his mother＇s uncle，Richard Brocklesby， a physician and Fellow of the Royal Society. Following Brocklesby＇s lead， Young decided to pursue a career in medicine. He studied in London， following the medical circuit，and then moved on to more formal education in Edinburgh，Gottingen and Cambridge. After completing his medical training at the University of Cambridge in 1808， Young set up practice as a physician in London. He soon became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and a few years later was appointed physician at St. George＇s Hospital.E Young＇s skill as a physician， however， did not equal his skill as a scholar of natural philosophy or linguistics. Earlier， in 1801，he had been appointed to a professorship of natural philosophy at the Royal Institution， where he delivered as many as 60 lectures in a year. These were published in two volumes in 1807. In 1804 Young had become secretary to the Royal Society，a post he would hold until his death. His opinions were sought on civic and national matters， such as the introduction of gas lighting to London and methods of ship construction. From 1819 he was superintendent of the Nautical Almanac and secretary to the Board of Longitude. From 1824 to 1829 he was physician to and inspector of calculations for the Palladian Insurance Company. Between 1816 and 1825 he contributed his many and various entries to the Encyclopedia Britannica， and throughout his career he authored numerous books， essays and papers.F Young is a perfect subject for a biography - perfect， but daunting. Few men contributed so much to so many technical fields. Robinson＇s aim is to introduce non-scientists to Young＇s work and life. He succeeds， providing clear expositions of the technical material （especially that on optics and Egyptian hieroglyphs）. Some readers of this book will， like Robinson，find Young＇s accomplishments impressive； others will see him as some historians have - as a dilettante. Yet despite the rich material presented in this book，readers will not end up knowing Young personally. We catch glimpses of a playful Young，doodling Greek and Latin phrases in his notes on medical lectures and translating the verses that a young lady had written on the walls of a summerhouse into Greek elegiacs. Young was introduced into elite society， attended the theatre and learned to dance and play the flute. In addition， he was an accomplishedhorseman. However，his personal life looks pale next to his vibrant career and studies.G Young married Eliza Maxwell in 1804， and according to Robinson，＂their marriage was a happy one and she appreciated his work.＂ Almost all we know about her is that she sustained her husband through some rancorous disputes about optics and that she worried about money when his medical career was slow to take off. Very little evidence survives about the complexities of Young＇s relationships with his mother and father. Robinson does not credit them， or anyone else， with shaping Young＇s extraordinary mind. Despite the lack of details concerning Young＇s relationships，however，anyone interested in what it means to be a genius should read this book.Questions 1-7Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1？In boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet， writeTRUE if the statement is trueFALSE if the statement is falseNOT GIVEN if the information is not given in the passage1 “The last man who knew everything” has also been claimed to other people.2 All Young’s articles were published in Encyclopedia Britannica.3 Like others， Young wasn＇t so brilliant when grew up.4 Young＇s talents as a doctor are surpassing his other skills.5 Young＇s advice was sought by people responsible for local and national issues.6 Young was interested in various social pastimes.7 Young suffered from a disease in his later years.Questions 8-13Answer the questions below.Choose NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER from the passage for each answer.8 How many life stories did Young write for Encyclopedia Britannica？9 What aspect of scientific research did Young do in his first academic paper？10 What name did Young introduce to refer to a group of languages？11 Who inspired Young to start the medical studies？12 Where did Young get a teaching position？13 What contribution did Young make to London？文章题目：Thomas Young—The Last True Know-it All托马斯·杨——最后一个无所不知的人篇章结构体裁人物传记题目托马斯·杨——最后一个无所不知的人结构A段：托马斯·杨对百科全书的主要成就B段：托马斯年轻时的主要成就C段：托马斯晚年的主要成就D段：托马斯童年的生活背景及成长经历E段：托马斯作为自然哲学学者取得的成就F段：托马斯在其他领域的成就G段：托马斯的感情生活试题分析Question 1-7题目类型：True / false /not given题号定位词文中对应点题目解析1Other peopleA段第四句“Young has competition，however： The phrase， which Robinson takes for his title， also serves as the subtitle of two other recent biographies： Leonard Warren＇s 1998 life of paleontologist Joseph Leidy （1823-1891）and Paula Findlen＇s 2004 book on Athanasius Kircher （1602-1680），another polymath.”该句中明确给出了Young还有其他的竞争者，他们的传记中也同样拥有这样的小标题，分别是Leonard Warren写的关于Joseph Leidy的传记，以及 Paula Findlen＇s写的关于Athanasius Kircher的传记。
