破解摩斯密码sos去海岛上救人的英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Cracking the SOS Code and Rescuing the Island CastawayHave you ever heard those strange dot and dash sounds that go "di-di-di-dah-dah-dah-di-di-di"? That's called Morse code and it spells out the letters "SOS" - a call for help! One day, I ended up cracking that secret code and it led me on the most exciting adventure a kid could imagine.It all started on a lazy summer morning. I was lying in bed, staring up at the ceiling and letting my mind wander. Suddenly, I heard a faint tapping sound coming from outside my bedroom window. I jumped up to investigate, pulling back the curtains. At first, I didn't see anything unusual in our backyard. But then the tapping happened again - tap, tap, tap...tap, tap, tap...tap, tap, tap.I peered out across our lawn, scanning the trees and bushes. That's when I spotted it - a bird, rapidly pecking at a branch with its beak! As I watched closer, I realized the bird was tapping out a very distinct pattern over and over.Di-di-di-dah-dah-dah-di-di-di. My eyes went wide as I recognized the SOS distress signal in Morse code!"That bird is trying to tell me something!" I gasped. I raced out of my room and down the stairs, scrambling to find a pen and paper. Back at the window, I carefully wrote down each sequence of dots and dashes as the bird tapped it out with its beak. After a couple of minutes, I looked down at my notepad and saw I had transcribed a full message:"SOS...SHIPWRECKED...ON...ISLAND...SEND...HELP!"Someone was stranded on a island somewhere and this smart little bird was their messenger, using Morse code to call for rescue! I had to do something right away.I rushed to the kitchen where my mom was making breakfast. "Mom, mom! We have to call the coast guard right now!" I panted, out of breath from running. "There's a person trapped on an island sending an SOS in Morse code with a bird!"My mom looked puzzled at first, but once I explained about the tapping bird and showed her the message, she agreed this was an emergency. She quickly called 9-1-1 to report the SOS and location details I had received.Within an hour, a rescue team had mobilized, pinpointing the situation to a small deserted island about 20 miles off the coast. As the helicopter rescue crews prepared to launch, they approached me for any extra information that could help them locate the stranded person."Actually, I might be able to talk directly to them through the bird using Morse code!" I suggested. The rescuers looked doubtful at first, but were willing to try anything that could assist the mission.I found the bird still perched in our backyard tree, dutifully tapping out the SOS message in a continuous loop. Using a pencil to tap out my own responses on the windowsill, I signaled:"MESSAGE RECEIVED...HELP IS COMING...STAY PUT..."The bird immediately stopped its SOS pattern and cocked its head, as if listening intently. I tapped again:"ARE YOU HURT?...HOW MANY PEOPLE?..."After a few moments, the bird began tapping a new string of dits and dahs. Excitedly translating, I replied back to the rescuers:"He says he is not hurt but he is alone! His boat ran aground on the island after a storm a few days ago."The helicopter team rushed off with this helpful information, racing against time to find the stranded sailor. For the next few hours, I waited by the window with the little bird, tapping back and forth in Morse code and relaying updates between the rescue team and castaway.Finally, the call came in that the man had been located and was being airlifted to safety! I ran outside and looked skyward as the helicopter appeared as a speck on the horizon, growing larger as it approached the mainland. The bird let out a celebratory tweet and took off in a flurry of flapping wings, undoubtedly returning to its marooned friend.When the rescued man arrived at the air station, he asked to meet the person he had been communicating with in Morse code. You can imagine his surprise when he was introduced to me - a 10-year-old kid! As I explained how I had cracked the bird's code tapping out SOS, he stared at me in disbelief."You mean to tell me, my distress signal was received and I was rescued...all because a boy happened to understand Morse code from a bird?" The sailor chuckled and ruffled my hair. "You're the most incredible code cracker and pint-sized rescuer I've ever met! I'll be forever grateful."From that day on, I had a new appreciation for Morse code and took pride in my new title as Code Cracker Kid. I even started learning other codes and ciphers, just in case I was called on to decipher another message from nature! Who knows what sort of secret calls for help could be hiding in the tapping of woodpeckers, shrieking of monkeys, or whistle of ocean waves? All I know is, I'll be listening attentively just like that brilliant little bird. When duty calls, this Code Cracker Kid will crack the code and save the day!篇2The Mysterious SOS SignalIt was a perfectly ordinary summer day when everything changed. I was sitting at the breakfast table, munching on a bowl of Lucky Charms cereal and watching cartoons. Mom was washing dishes and humming to herself like she always does in the mornings.Suddenly, the TV signal went all fuzzy with static. "Aw, man,"I groaned. Just when it was getting to the good part of my show.But then, something even weirder happened. Through the static, I started to hear a pattern of short and long beeps.Beep beep beep...beeeeep...beeeeep...beep beep beepIt kept repeating over and over again. Mom stopped humming and looked up, her brow furrowed. "What on earth is that sound?"I shrugged, just as baffled as she was. We stared at the TV, but it didn't seem to be coming from there. It was coming through on all the channels, overpowering everything else.Beep beep beep...beeeeep...beeeeep...beep beep beep"It almost sounds like...a code of some kind?" Mom said slowly. She grabbed a pen and paper from the kitchen counter and started jotting down the pattern of beeps.My eyes went wide. Of course! I knew that pattern from school. It was..."The Morse code for SOS!" I exclaimed. "Someone must be sending an emergency signal!"Mom stopped writing and looked at me. "You mean like a call for help? From who? Where is it coming from?"I shook my head, feeling just as mystified as she did. "I have no idea. But we have to figure it out and do something! Whoever is sending that signal could be in real danger."Mom took a deep breath and nodded firmly. "You're right. First, let's try to pinpoint where the signal is coming from..."And that's how the greatest adventure of my life began. Mom and I spent hours tracking the SOS signal, testing equipment, and deciphering clues and coordinates. It took every bit of brainpower and problem-solving skill we had, but eventually we managed to determine that the message was coming from a remote island out in the Pacific Ocean.At first the authorities didn't believe us when we told them about the SOS. They thought we were just a couple of kooky amateurs wasting their time. But Mom refused to give up. She got on the phone, sent emails, signed petitions, anything to make people pay attention to what we had discovered.Finally, after what felt like forever, we managed to convince a team of Coast Guard officers to investigate the signal. They deployed a plane to do a flyover of the island's coordinates...and that's when they saw it. Through the clouds, barely visible from the air, there was a sprawling sign made of rocks and branches in the shape of three letters:S...O...S...The island was inhabited! And whoever was there was stranded and in desperate need of rescue and assistance. The Coast Guard immediately began preparing a mission to the island, and miraculously, they allowed Mom and me to hitch a ride and join them.The helicopter flight out to that tiny speck of land in the vast Pacific Ocean was among the most thrilling experiences of my young life. We traveled for what seemed like forever over an endless stretch of brilliant blue ocean, until finally a small green smudge appeared on the horizon and grew larger and larger until it became a lush tropical island.As we approached the beach for landing, I caught sight of makeshift shelters and campfires, proof that people had been surviving there for who knows how long. My heart was pounding harder than I can ever remember it pounding before.The second the helicopter touched down on that pristine white sand, the door opened and we were swarmed by a large group of people. They were citizens from all around the world—men, women, children, elders—with tattered clothes, sunburnt skin, and faces filled with a mixture of joy, fear, and utter exhaustion. Many were sick or injured from their long struggle to survive."You came!" one older man cried, embracing Mom in a massive bear hug and sobbing into her shoulder. "After all this time...you heard our call for help!"It turned out the island was inhabited by people from a cruise ship that had run aground and capsized in a freak storm months ago. The survivors made it to this tiny uninhabited island, but their supplies quickly dwindled. They had no way to contact the outside world or alert anyone to their location...until they had the genius idea to use an old radio antenna from the wrecked ship to send an SOS in Morse code.They transmitted that signal day after day, week after grueling week, with no idea if anybody was receiving it or not. And finally, through a miraculous combination of events, Mom and I had been the ones to crack the code and discover the signal.Thanks to us, over 300 people were rescued from that island and given another chance at life. As the evacuees were ferried aboard Coast Guard vessels and choppers, they cheered and celebrated, eyes filled with tears of happiness, gratitude, and relief. I had never felt so proud and accomplished in my entire life.Reporters swarmed us, shoving microphones in our faces and shouting questions from all angles. "Sir, was it difficult to decode the SOS signal? What first tipped you off that it was Morse code? Do either of you have dreams of becoming Coast Guard officers yourselves someday?"Mom just hugged me close and smiled, Obviously she was too choked up with emotion to give interviews at that moment. I just grinned from ear to ear, still in shock that my ordinary summer day had turned into something so extraordinary and life-changing.On the long journey back home, I gazed out over the endless rolling waves and let everything that happened sink in. A few months ago, if someone told me I would decode a desperate SOS signal and literally save hundreds of lives because of it, I would have laughed in their face. But there I was, a kid who had achieved something pretty darn incredible.I thought about the people from the island, and how they would be returning to their homes and families, getting the medical attention they needed, starting their lives over from scratch. All because they never stopped sending that signal, and Mom and I never stopped searching for its source.Maybe there was nothing too ordinary about me or my summer after all. Maybe I had a calling, a special skill for taking on codes, ciphers, search and rescue...all sorts of real-life puzzle-solving adventures. As I felt the warm ocean breeze on my face, I silently made a promise to myself that this wouldn't be the last time I cracked an important code or went on an epic journey to help people in need.I couldn't wait to see where my next mystery would take me.篇3Cracking the SOS Morse Code to Rescue on a Deserted IslandIt was a sunny Saturday morning and I was bored out of my mind. Mom and Dad were both working and my older sister Amanda was at dance practice. I had already played all my video games and there was nothing good on TV. I was just lying on the couch feeling sorry for myself when suddenly, my walkie-talkie started beeping!I ran over and picked it up. "Hello? Hello? Is anyone there?" I shouted into it. There was no voice, just a strange pattern of long and short beeps. At first I thought one of the neighborhood kidswas pranking me. But then I realized - it sounded just like Morse code!In school, we had learned about Samuel Morse and how he invented a code using dots and dashes to send messages over telegraph wires. I was never very good at remembering what all the different dot-dash combinations meant, but this one I recognized instantly: S-O-S! It's the emergency signal for help!My heart started racing. Maybe this wasn't a stupid prank after all. Maybe someone was in real trouble and needed rescuing! I grabbed a pencil and paper and furiously wrote down the pattern as it kept repeating:... --- ... ... --- ... ... --- ...S-O-S, S-O-S, S-O-S! It was definitely an SOS call for help. But who was sending it and where were they? I tried sending a message back."Hello? This is Billy reading you. What is your emergency? Over."There was no response except the same S-O-S pattern repeating over and over. I tried changing the channel, scanning up and down the frequencies, but the signal was strongest onthe same channel. It had to be coming from somewhere very close by.Abandoning the walkie-talkie for a moment, I ran outside scanning the neighborhood. That's when I noticed something bizarre - the SOS seemed to be getting louder in one direction, towards the old abandoned lot at the end of the street. It was just a overgrown field full of weeds and trash, sloping down towards the beach.I grabbed my backpack, stuffed the walkie-talkie inside along with some snacks and a flashlight, and took off running towards the lot. As I got closer, kicking my way through the tall grass, the beeping was almost deafening. That's when I stumbled into a shocking discovery - a tiny rowboat partially buried in the weeds!In the bottom of the rowboat was an old hand-cranked radio transmitter, sending out the continuous S-O-S distress signal on an infinite loop. Whoever had been stranded and sending this call for rescue must have made it back to land, but abandoned their gear here when they reached safety.But the mystery wasn't over. If the person was already rescued, where had they been stranded to begin with? Following a hunch, I scrambled down the embankment to the narrowbeach and started scanning the horizon. That's when I saw it - a tiny islot or raised sand bar a few hundred yards offshore!At low tide, you might actually be able to wade across the shallow waters to reach the island. But the tides around here were crazy, flooding in and out twice a day. If someone was stranded there when the tide came in, they could be trapped for hours with no way to call for help except by radio.That's when I knew what I had to do. I gathered up the old radio transmitter and its antennas and shoved them into my backpack. Then I started making my way across the shifting sandbars, splashing through the chilly ocean surf as it started to roll in around my ankles.By the time I reached the islet, the tide was already rising rapidly. Without the radio gear weighing me down, I was able to scramble up the steep embankment to the center of the island just as the waters started crashing at its base. I was officially marooned, at least for the next few hours until the tide went back out.But I wasn't too worried, with my snacks and my trusty flashlight in case it got dark before I could make my way back home. I had all the time in the world to explore every nook andcranny of that little patch of sand and brush, searching for clues to whoever had been stranded here and set up the SOS signal.That's when I spotted it - a crude shelter made of driftwood and salvaged tarps! There were even some old tin cans and bottles someone had been collecting rainwater in. As I crept inside the ramshackle hut, the clues pieced together into an incredible story.Scattered around were some smashed remains of a survival kit - a flare gun, some fishing line, a small camping stove, aluminum pots and pans. Someone must have been boating or sailing nearby when their boat capsized or they fell overboard. With just their survival kit, they made it to this tiny islet only to find themselves trapped here when the tide came in.With no other way to signal for help, they rigged together that old radio from the remaining gear in their survival kit and started broadcasting the SOS distress signal around the clock. It was this brave unknown castaway that I had picked up on my walkie-talkie from back in town!Based on therifled-through remains of theircamp, they must have spent several days and nights awaiting rescue before they were finally spotted and brought back to safety. But in their hurryafter being rescued, they had abandoned their radio gear here, still endlessly beeping out its SOS like a message in a bottle.As I sat in the shelter pondering who this mysterious survivor might have been, I felt a swelling of pride for being the one to crack their code, following the call for help to its source. Even if I had arrived too late to actually rescue them in person, at least I could bring back the gear they had rigged together and the amazing story of their ordeal.I spent another hour scouring the island, collecting every last scrap as a memento. With the sun starting to sink low in the sky, I could see the waters slowly receding enough for me to make my way back to the mainland. I gathered up my backpack stuffed with the ruined radio parts, beaten pots and pans, and shredded survival kit supplies, ready to finally bring this SOS call for rescue to a definitive conclusion.All the way home, slogging through the surf and covered in saltwater, I couldn't stop grinning at my newfound treasure - not just the cool souvenirs, but the thrill of playing real-life castaway detective, piecing together this puzzle of survival against all odds.I may have been just a bored kid looking for an adventure when the day started, but I felt like a totally new person now, with a wild tale to wow my friends and family. Who knows what othercoded signals for excitement might be out there, just waiting to be intercepted and unraveled?As I climbed up the hill from the beach, I could see Mom's car pulling into the driveway and Amanda getting out after her dance practice. I couldn't wait to regale them with the story of the stranded castaway whose distress signal I had answered, the fascinating clues recovered from the deserted island, my valiant wade out at low tide to reach the site of their former camp.This was an adventure and mystery none of us would ever forget. And who knows, I thought with a wry smile, maybe next time there will be someone left there to rescue for real when the SOS signal reaches me again!。

专业英语八级阅读模拟题2019年(2)_真题-无答案(438)

专业英语八级（阅读）模拟题2019年(2)(总分100,考试时间155分钟)PART II READING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONSIn this section there are several passages followed by fourteen multiple-choice questions. For each multiple-choice question, there are four suggested answers marked [A] , [B], [C] and [D]. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.(1)Human migration: the term is vague. What people usually think of is the permanent movement of people from one home to another. More broadly, though, migration means all the ways—from the seasonal drift of agricultural workers within a country to the relocation of refugees from one country to another.(2)Migration is big, dangerous, compelling. It is 60 million Europeans leaving home from the 16th to the 20th centuries. It is some 15 million Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims swept up in a tumultuous shuffle of citizens between India and Pakistan after the partition of the subcontinent in 1947.(3)Migration is the dynamic undertow of population change: everyone's solution, everyone's conflict. As the century turns, migration, with its inevitable economic and political turmoil, has been called "one of the greatest challenges of **ing century."(4)But it is much more than that It is, as it has always been, the great adventure of human life. Migration helped create humans, drove us to conquer the planet, shaped our societies, and promised to reshape them again(5)"You have a history book written in your genes," said Spencer Wells. The book he's trying to read goes back to long before even the first word was written, and it is a story of migration.(6)Wells, a tall, blond geneticist at Stanford University, spent the summer of 1998 exploring remote parts of Transcaucasia and Central Asia with three colleagues in a Land Rover, looking for drops of blood. In the blood, donated by the people he met, he will search for the story that genetic markers can tell of the long paths human life has taken across the Earth.(7)Genetic studies are the latest technique in a long effort of modern humans to find out where they **e from. But however the paths are traced, the basic story is simple: people have been moving since they were people. If early humans hadn't moved and intermingled as much as they did, they probably would have continued to evolve into different species. From beginnings in Africa, most researchers agree, groups of hunter-gatherers spread out, driven to the ends of the Earth.(8)To demographer Kingsley Davis, two things made migration happen. First, human beings, with their tools and language, could adapt to different conditions without having to wait for evolution to make them suitable for a new niche. Second, as populations grew, cultures began to differ, and inequalities developed between groups. The first factor gave us the keys to the door of any room on the planet; the other gave us reasons to use them.(9)Over the centuries, as agriculture spread across me planet, people moved toward places where metal was found and worked and to centres of commerce mat men became cities. Those places were, in turn, invaded and overrun by people later generations called barbarians.(10)In between these storm surges were steadier but similarly profound tides in which people moved out to colonize or were captured and brought in as slaves. For a while me population of Athens, that city of legendary enlightenment, was as much as 35 percent slaves.(11)"What strikes me is how important migration is as a cause and effect in the great world events," Mark Miller, co-author of The Age of Migration and a professor of political science at the University of Delaware, told me recently.(12)It is difficult to think of any great events that did not involve migration. Religions spawned pilgrims or setders; wars drove refugees before them and made new land available for the conquerors; political upheavals displaced thousands or millions; economic innovations drew workers and entrepreneurs like magnets; environmental disasters like famine or disease pushed their bedraggled survivors anywhere they could replant hope.(13)"It's part of our nature, this movement," Miller said. "It's just a fact of the human condition."1. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. Migration exerts a great impact on population change.B. Migration contributes to Mankind's progress.C. Migration brings about desirable and undesirable effects.D. Migration may not be accompanied by human conflicts.2. What do we know about Spencer Wells from the passage?A. He thought genes can tell where people **e from.B. He wrote a book about the history of genes.C. He read me first history book at Stanford University.D. He agreed human migration was from Transcaucasia and central Asia.3. Which of the following groups is NOT mentioned as migrants in the passage?A. Farmers.B. Workers.C. Setders.D. Colonizers.4. There seems to be a(n)_____ relationship between great events and migration.A. looseB. indefiniteC. causalD. remote(1)Mucky roads, unpredictable weather, and wet ground that sags beneath your feet. It must be springtime in New England.(2)Come March, receding snow transforms the landscape into a soft, sloppy mess. NewEnglanders call this metamorphosis "mud season", the period of recovery between the long, brutal winter and the warm summer ahead But with no banner activity to accompany it—think leaf-peeping in the fall or skiing in winter—mud season brings a serious lull in tourism A group of inns and hotels say that's the perfect excuse to design a vacation package. The result? Getaways that focus on food, drink, and activities inspired by mud seasoa Add greater room availability and discount prices, and all that muck seems a little more bearable.(3)For guests who are hungry after a winter in hibernation, the Inn at Crystal Lake, a 12-room bed-and-breakfast in the tiny town of Eaton, offers "Swine in the Mud", smoky, thick pork chops topped with honey-chipotle barbecue sauce. To round out the meal, co-owner and bartender Tim Ostendorf whips up a "Here's Mud in Your Eye", vodka shaken with Kahlua liqueur and Hershey's syrup.(4)Crystal Lake isn't the only establishment with a mud-themed menu. The Inn by the Sea in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, serves warm raspberry scones drizzled with "Maine Mud" chocolate sauce for breakfast. Devising such recipes can be taxing, says owner Maureen McQuade. "You think that putting together a promotion like this is a snap," she says. "You have to drink a lot of chocolate martinis."(5)But someone has to do it Visits to the region between ski season and summertime drop sharply, as statistics from the New Hampshire tourism office bear out In the White Mountains, where Eaton is located, tourists spent around $176 million in the winter of 2002. That spring they spent just $77 millioa In the Lakes Region, popular for boating and fishing, visitors spent almost $276 million in summer 2001. That spring, spending was around $65 millioa "We don't have the crowds like we have in fall or summer," says Ostendorf. "It's a quieter time."(6)Some inns use the relative calm as a selling point. For vacationers in need of post-winter rejuvenation, the Wayside Inn in Bethlehem, N.H., includes a mud wrap—with a choice of three kinds of mud—in its mud season package. "You tend to want a quiet weekend, not to do much, get away from the hustle," says Wayside co-owner Kathe Hofmann.(7)Lower prices are another incentive. For participating inns, costs for a two-night stay with some meals and activities included range from $295 to $899, down as much as $200 compared with peak season.(8)For those who like a little testosterone mixed in with their dirt, the Equinox Resort & Spa in Manchester Village, Vt., offers an off-road driving course in one of its eight Land Rovers or Hummer H2s. But don't expect any television-style heroics in the lesson: Speeds on the 80-acre course are 3 to 5 miles per hour, says Courtney Lowe, the resort's director of sales and marketing. "The whole objective is a tread-lightly program," Lowe says. If the weather's right, the terrain will ensure at least some mud gets on the windshield. The course features steep hills and dramatic pitches that cause the SUVs to lean sharply to one side. "You almost have the feeling you'll fall over, but you won't," Lowe says.(9)Is the market for something a little less dizzying? Crystal Lake's package includes wildlife and bird-watching trips to four nearby Audubon Society sanctuaries. Adventurous guests get guides to spot birds and animal tracks, maps of the areas, and locally made soap to clean up after a day of traipsing through the muck. "It's a terrific time," says Bobby Barker, the inn's co-owner. "It can suddenly change from one severe season to sun."5. Tourists to New England in mud season may be attracted by the following points EXCEPT ______.A. easy room availabilityB. fascinating landscapeC. special mud-themed foodD. distinguishing activities6. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Vacation package is a selling point to promote tourism in mud season.B. The inns and hotels have a sharp drop of profit in mud season.C. Off-road driving course is meant to attract adventurous tourists.D. The tourism in mud season is as prosperous as in peak seasons.7. This passage is mainly about_____.A. mud season in New EnglandB. tourism in New EnglandC. tourism in mud seasonD. landscape in mud season(1)"The US economy is rapidly deteriorating," says Mr. Grannis. "The odds of a recession are now very high, perhaps by the end of the year." There are already some signs that important pillars are weakening. Consumer confidence has fallen for the past two months. The housing sector, which has been buoyant, is starting to sink. Corporate profits are falling. Some analysts are especially concerned over the sharp fall of commodity prices. They believe it represents the threat of deflation, and it could cause a global slowdown. "The Fed will have to act forcefully to arrest the deflationary forces," says Robert Lamorte, chairman of Behavioral Economics, a consulting firm in San Diego. But other counters that the central bank doesn't need to intervene. They argue the Fed should wait to see real data before acting. "The fundamentals are better than the stock market reflects", says Peter Kretzmer, an economist at Nations-Banc Montgomery Security.(2)Indeed, President Clinton tried to do his part to calm the market during his trip to Moscow, citing the strong job market and balanced budget. "We believe our fundamental economic policy is sound," he said. **ments echoed statements by Peter Rubin in Washington.(3)Some numbers do continue to reflect a strong economy. On Sept. 1, the Conference Board released its index of leading indicators. The index rose 0.4 percent, prompting the business organization to predict that the nation's output should increase at a moderate pace for the rest of 1998. The group sees little risk of recession in the near term. But what has changed is the global economy. Japan and the rest of Asia are in recession. The woes are spreading to Latin America.(4)"I'm now convinced we are going to have a global economic recession," says Sung Won Sohn, chief economist at Norwest Corp, a Minneapolis-based bank. But, he added, it's not certain the US will slide into a period of negative growth. He rates the risk of recession at only 10 to 15 percent. "We will be responding to the world economic situation rather than leading it." he says.(5)Still, Fed watchers don't think the central bank will act to try to save the world. "It's inconceivable the Fed could make much difference in Asia, Russia, or Latin America" says Lyle Gramley, a former Fed governor.(6)After the last stock market crash, in 1987, the Federal Reserve acted quickly to provide liquidity to the markets and to lower interest rates. But the economy is in better shape this time; the banking sector is stronger and the financial markets have been able to respond the enormous trading volume. "It is not the Fed's job to manage the stock market," says Mr. Kretzmer.(7)But the Fed will keep a close watch on Wall Street. If the market were to shave another1,500 points off the Dow by the end of September, "then the Fed would think about lowering interest rates," says Mr. Gramley. In his view, the Fed's main concern will be the impact of a sliding market on consumer confidence; since 40 percent of the nation has investments in the stock market, any prolonged slide might make individuals feel less wealthy.(8)They would cut back on vacations and "splurge" purchases. He expects the central bank to watch the next consumer confidence surveys and housing statistics closely.8. Mr. Kretzmer believes that the Fed needn't intervene NOT because of_____.A. steady financial marketsB. increasing strength of the backs sectorC. inaccurate information the market showsD. its influence on other continents9. The relationship between the fifth and sixth paragraphs is that ______.A. both state the emergence of economic recessionB. the latter is the logical result of the formerC. both present the reasons of non-interferenceD. the former generalizes and the latter gives examples10. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Threat of Deflation in US.B. The Tendency of US Economy.C. Economic Situation in US.D. The Sign of Recession in US Economy.(1)The recession came home to Price Waterhouse's consultancy practice in the middle of 1990. Annual growth rate of 25%-30% started to dive, and the practice began reorganizing to survive the slump.(2)Management consultancies, ironically, **plex and disparate bodies to manage. PW is an international outfit run by partners through a network of offices.Like most professions, management consultants tend to be content to let others take the lead in office technology and put off any major investment to another day. In 1990, PW's UK consultancy practice could muster only one **puter for every three or four staff.(3)The solution PW chose was remarkable on two fronts. It involved a form of technology that remains foreign, if not downright outlandish, to most **panies; and the decision to embrace that technology was taken not as a result of a detailed cost justification, but as a simple "leap of faith".(4)Mark Austin, the UK partner leading the program of change, says: "On pure cost grounds we would never have gone ahead, but our American practice had found that there were enormous qualitative benefits. We are finding the same."(5)Three years on, that leap is still difficult to qualify in hard business terms, but nobody within PW doubts the value of the move. The solution chosen by PW is groupware, which is likely to become the IT industry's most hyped product of the decade, or show its greatest contribution to business efficiency since the invention of the PC.(6)There are several groupware products but the market is increasingly being dominated by Lotus Notes, which is used by PW and runs on a variety of **puters. Of the 20,000 Notes users worldwide, PW is one of the biggest groupware followers there is, but firms such as General Motors and Unilever are also investing heavily in the technology.(7)The recession has left many **panies with leaner, overstretched management teams, often working at different locations, and with a frayed corporate culture. Groupware aims to be the glue that binds these threads together.(8)The problem for groupware suppliers is that the software hopes to be all things to all men. The sets of discs **e out of the software box do very little on their own; it is how you tailor them that matters. PW's groupware operations are among the most sophisticated ever set up, but in operation they look deceptively simple and cover growing panoply of applications. For example, staffs fill in on-screen forms logging the potential clients they are talking to, the value of the contract under discussion, and how they assess the likely outcome.(9)Other applications cover the management of current jobs. The databases behind the groupware network men correlate me information input in different ways.(10)Once me groupware application is created, updating happens automatically, unseen by the user. It could even incorporate stories from electronic wire feeds, so a manager whose client is involved in a takeover bid can cull electronic "clippings" about a subject simply by asking, once, for all stories on a subject to be "clipped".(11)One effect is that the workings of the firm become more open and **mon, corporate store of knowledge gained from previous jobs can be accessed easily. Subject to confidentiality considerations, people can see what others are doing and tap into that information.(12)Thus, if a PW consultant in Aberdeen has a client who needs advice on something to do with the oil industry and program writing in a **puter language, he can easily discover whether any other PW project has touched upon that area at any other office, even in Europe or America. If somebody is leaving the firm, the system will note the fact and, the day before he or she leaves, ask for the return of all outstanding confidential documents and the individual's **puter.11. The technology that PW chose ______.A. had never been used by any **panyB. was believed to reduce the costsC. could help **pany get out of troubleD. was rather new to most **panies12. According to the passage, groupware is _____.A. a set of hardware PW bought for self-protectionB. a kind of glue PW used for repairC. a technology that contributes to efficiencyD. a worker PW hired to examine **puter13. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.A. advertise for groupwareB. publicize new business theoryC. tell readers an interesting storyD. present useful informationSECTION B SHORT-ANSWER QUESTIONSIn this section there are eight short-answer questions based on the passages in SECTION A.

描写海上遇难的片段英语作文

描写海上遇难的片段英语作文英文回答：In the vast expanse of the tumultuous ocean, where the relentless waves danced in a frenzied waltz, a solitary vessel found itself at the precipice of peril. With the heavens unleashed their fury, unleashing a relentless onslaught of deafening thunder and blinding lightning, the ship was engulfed in a maelstrom of chaotic forces.The relentless fury of the storm relentlessly pounded against the hull of the ship, threatening to shatter itinto a thousand pieces. The piercing winds howled like banshees, tearing through the sails with merciless abandon. The once-proud vessel, now a mere plaything in the hands of the unforgiving sea, was tossed and turned about like a helpless leaf in a hurricane's embrace.As the tempest raged on with unabated ferocity, the crew fought valiantly against the overwhelming odds. Theironce-calm faces, now etched with lines of fear and desperation, frantically worked to keep the ship afloat. Sailors clung precariously to the rigging, their hearts pounding with a rhythm as erratic as the storm itself.With each crashing wave that threatened to engulf them, hope dwindled like a fragile ember. The relentlessonslaught of wind and water seemed to conspire against them, relentlessly chipping away at their resolve. The ship, once a symbol of their dreams and aspirations, now seemed destined to become a watery tomb.As the storm reached its peak, a deafening crack echoed through the air. The mainmast, unable to withstand the relentless battering of the tempest, snapped in two,sending splintered wood flying through the air. The ship lurched violently, throwing the crew into a chaoticscramble for survival.With the mainmast gone, the ship was now adrift at the mercy of the merciless sea. The waves crashed over the deck with relentless force, sweeping away anything in their path.The crew, their bodies battered and bruised, clung desperately to any semblance of safety they could find.As the storm finally began to abate, the survivors emerged from their ordeal, their faces etched with a mixture of gratitude and profound loss. The once-proud ship lay in ruins, a testament to the unforgiving power of the sea. And so, the survivors, forever marked by their harrowing experience, were left adrift on the vast expanse of water, their fate uncertain.中文回答：在波涛汹涌的大洋中，无情的海浪以狂乱的华尔兹起舞，一艘孤零零的船只发现自己处在危险的边缘。

台风天气的英文作文

台风天气的英文作文Typhoon WeatherTyphoon weather is a phenomenon that affects many countries, particularly those in the Asia-Pacific region. It is characterized by strong winds, heavy rainfall, and destructive power. As a result, it poses significant threats to human lives, property, and infrastructure. In this essay, we will explore the various perspectives surrounding typhoon weather, including its causes, impacts, and measures to mitigate its effects.Firstly, let us delve into the causes of typhoon weather. Typhoons, also known as hurricanes or cyclones, are formed over warm ocean waters. As the water evaporates, it creates a low-pressure area, causing air to rise and form clouds. The rotation of the Earth then causes the air to spin, resulting in the formation of a typhoon. These natural disasters are most common during the summer and autumn months when the ocean waters are at their warmest.The warm waters provide the necessary fuel for the typhoon to grow and intensify.The impacts of typhoon weather can be devastating. The strong winds associated with typhoons can uproot trees, damage buildings, and cause power outages. The heavyrainfall can lead to flash floods and landslides, which can result in the loss of lives and destruction of homes. Moreover, the storm surges caused by typhoons can inundate coastal areas, leading to widespread damage and displacement of communities. The aftermath of a typhoon often involves extensive cleanup efforts, reconstruction, and the rebuilding of lives shattered by the disaster.In order to mitigate the effects of typhoon weather, various measures have been implemented. Early warning systems play a crucial role in alerting communities about the approaching typhoon. Meteorological agencies closely monitor weather patterns and issue warnings to the public, enabling them to take necessary precautions. Evacuation plans are put in place to ensure the safety of residents in high-risk areas. Government agencies and non-governmentalorganizations work together to provide emergency relief and support to affected communities. Additionally,infrastructure resilience is being improved to withstandthe destructive power of typhoons, such as constructing stronger buildings and reinforcing coastal defenses.Despite these efforts, the emotional toll of typhoon weather cannot be overlooked. The fear and anxiety experienced by individuals in the path of a typhoon are immense. The uncertainty of the situation, coupled with the potential loss of loved ones and homes, can be overwhelming. The aftermath of a typhoon can leave survivors traumatized, grieving, and struggling to rebuild their lives. However, amidst the devastation, stories of resilience, unity, and compassion emerge. Communities come together to support and help one another, demonstrating the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.In conclusion, typhoon weather is a natural disasterthat brings about significant challenges and impacts. Its causes, including warm ocean waters and the Earth's rotation, contribute to its formation. The destructivepower of typhoons affects various aspects of human life, from infrastructure to emotional well-being. However, through early warning systems, evacuation plans, and infrastructure improvements, efforts are being made to mitigate its effects. Ultimately, the emotional resilience and unity of affected communities play a crucial role in overcoming the challenges brought about by typhoon weather.。

英语作文遭遇台风暴雨读后续写英文回答：The storm, with its deafening roar and torrential downpour, had relentlessly bombarded the island for hours. As the relentless fury abated, a sense of eerie stillness hung in the air. The once-raging tempest had left behind a trail of destruction and devastation.Tree limbs, torn from their parent trunks, lay strewn across the ground, their shattered remnants a testament to the storm's wrath. Roofs had been torn away, exposing the interiors of homes to the ravages of wind and rain. Power lines hung limply, their severed cables creating a tangled web of electrical hazards.Dazed survivors emerged from their battered shelters, their faces etched with shock and disbelief. They had endured the terrifying onslaught of nature's wrath, but the aftermath that confronted them was equally daunting. Homeshad been destroyed, livelihoods shattered, and a sense of uncertainty loomed over the shattered community.With the storm subsided, the true extent of the damage slowly came to light. Roads were impassable, bridges collapsed, and communication was disrupted. The infrastructure, once the backbone of the community, lay in ruins. Hospitals and medical facilities were overwhelmed with the influx of injured and displaced residents.Amidst the chaos and devastation, a glimmer of hope emerged. Volunteers from neighboring towns and cities poured in, eager to offer assistance and support to the storm-ravaged community. They distributed food, water, and medical supplies, helping to ease the immediate hardship faced by the survivors.The government swiftly deployed disaster relief teams to the affected areas, coordinating rescue efforts and providing essential services. Emergency shelters were established, offering temporary refuge to those whose homes had been destroyed.Together, the community rallied in the face of adversity. Neighbors helped neighbors, sharing resourcesand lending a helping hand. A spirit of resilience and determination prevailed, as the community began the arduous task of rebuilding their lives and their shattered town.中文回答：在台风暴雨的无情肆虐下，这个岛屿被持续轰击了数小时之久，震耳欲聋的呼啸声和倾盆大雨造成了无情的破坏。

台风危害英语作文

Typhoons are one of the most powerful and destructive natural phenomena that can have a profound impact on human life and the environment.Here is a detailed essay on the dangers posed by typhoons:Introduction:Typhoons,also known as cyclones or hurricanes in different parts of the world,are massive storms that form over warm ocean waters.They are characterized by strong winds,heavy rainfall,and storm surges,which can lead to widespread destruction and loss of life.Causes of Typhoons:Typhoons are caused by the evaporation of warm seawater which leads to the formation of thunderstorms.As these storms gather and organize,they form a lowpressure system that can spiral into a typhoon.The warm,moist air rises and cools,condensing into clouds and releasing latent heat,which fuels the storms growth.Physical Dangers:1.Strong Winds:The winds associated with typhoons can reach speeds of over150mph, causing widespread damage to infrastructure,uprooting trees,and damaging homes.2.Storm Surges:A storm surge is a rise in sea level during a storm,which can lead to coastal flooding.This can inundate lowlying areas,causing significant damage to property and communities.3.Heavy Rainfall:The intense rainfall from a typhoon can lead to flash floods,landslides, and soil erosion,which can destroy homes,roads,and agricultural land.Economic Impact:1.Damage to Infrastructure:The destruction of roads,bridges,and buildings can have a significant economic impact,as it requires substantial resources for reconstruction and repair.2.Agriculture and Fisheries:Typhoons can devastate crops and aquaculture,leading to food shortages and economic losses for farmers and fishermen.3.Disruption of Trade and Tourism:The destruction of ports and airports,as well as the damage to tourist attractions,can disrupt trade and tourism,affecting the local economy.Social Impact:1.Loss of Life:The most tragic aspect of a typhoon is the loss of human life.The strong winds,flooding,and landslides can lead to fatalities.2.Displacement of People:Many people are forced to evacuate their homes,becoming displaced and requiring emergency shelter and assistance.3.Mental Health:The trauma of experiencing a typhoon and its aftermath can havelonglasting psychological effects on survivors.Environmental Impact:1.Habitat Destruction:The destruction of natural habitats can lead to the displacement of wildlife and can disrupt ecosystems.2.Pollution:The runoff from flooded industrial areas and the release of pollutants can contaminate water sources and soil.Prevention and Mitigation:1.Early Warning Systems:The establishment of early warning systems can help communities prepare for a typhoons arrival,reducing the potential for loss of life and damage.2.Infrastructure Planning:Building resilient infrastructure that can withstand the forces of a typhoon is crucial for minimizing damage.munity Preparedness:Educating communities about typhoon safety and preparedness can help save lives and reduce the impact of these storms.Conclusion:While typhoons are a natural part of our planets weather patterns,their impact can be mitigated through careful planning,preparedness,and response.By understanding the dangers and taking proactive steps,we can better protect our communities and the environment from these powerful storms.。

中考英语专项练习阅读理解题A （2013·北京)I bought a jasmine plant for my office. When I bought it, I was told it would bloom（开花）and the sweet smell would fill my office. I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it，but there weren't any flowers or pleasant smell。

I was not happy，so I gave the plant to my friend Linda.One day，another friend Mary called and invited me to her office。

When I walked in，her jasmine flowers surprised me。

I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn’t help smelling them。

Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers，I suddenly understood something。

Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom。

I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away.In a way my life is like the jasmine plant。

遭台风袭击的英语作文

遭台风袭击的英语作文Title: Surviving the Typhoon: A Testimony。

As the menacing winds howled and the torrential rain poured down relentlessly, our island was thrown into chaos by the unforgiving force of the typhoon. It was an experience that tested our resilience and unity like never before.The day began like any other, with the sun shining brightly and the gentle breeze carrying the scent of the sea. Little did we know that by nightfall, our lives would be forever changed. As the typhoon approached, the atmosphere grew tense, and we could feel the electricity in the air.As the first gusts of wind hit, we hurriedly secured our homes and gathered essential supplies. But nothing could have prepared us for the ferocity of the storm that followed. Trees were uprooted, roofs torn off, and powerlines snapped like twigs. The sound of crashing waves mingled with the roar of the wind, creating a symphony of destruction.In the midst of the chaos, however, there was also courage and compassion. Neighbors helped each other reinforce flimsy structures, sharing whatever resources they had. Strangers became allies as we worked together to protect our community from harm. In times of crisis, humanity shines brightest, and amidst the wreckage, we found solidarity.The hours stretched into eternity as we huddled together, praying for the storm to pass. And finally, after what felt like an eternity, the winds began to die down, and the rain eased to a gentle drizzle. Emerging from our shelters, we were greeted by a scene of devastation. Homes lay in ruins, streets flooded, and debris littered the landscape.But amidst the destruction, there was also hope. The sun broke through the clouds, casting a golden light overthe ravaged landscape. And as we surveyed the damage, we knew that together, we would rebuild. The road ahead would be long and difficult, but we were not alone. We had each other, and with that, anything was possible.As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, we worked tirelessly to repair what had been broken. Slowly but surely, our island began to heal. And though the scarsof the typhoon would always remain, they served as a reminder of our strength and resilience in the face of adversity.In the end, the typhoon was more than just a natural disaster. It was a test of our character, a testament tothe power of community and the human spirit. And as westood amidst the ruins, we knew that no storm could ever break us, for we were survivors, united in purpose and bound by resilience.。
