The driver in the first scene is enjoying a leisurely driving trip while leaving behind dark smog and withered plants. The bicycler in the second scene is riding a bike hurriedly, but green leaves left behind are gently swaying in the breeze. Such contrast readily sheds light on the theme of the times —adopting a low-carbon lifestyle and decreasing the pressure on the environment. Personally, I think there are several things we can do to live a low-carbon life. Firstly, try putting your car away for several days every month and take public transport more. Secondly, set your air-conditioner several degrees higher than usual in summer. Thirdly, try reducing the use of tissues, for the huge consumption of tissues means lots of trees being cut down. To sum up, every person is advised to put the low-carbon lifestyle into practice and do their bit to help protect the environment, which would make this world a better place to live in.)解析:解析:本幅漫画有两个场景。

(10 points)Facebook has been 1 with fire and has got its fingers burned, again. On November 29th America’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced that it had reached a 2 settlement with the giant social network over 3 that it had misled people about its use of their personal data.The details of the settlement make clear that Facebook, which 4 over 800m users, betrayed its users’ trust. It is also notable because it appears to be part of a broader 5 by the FTC to craft a new privacy framework to deal with the rapid 6 of social networks in America.The regulator’s fin dings come at a 7 moment for Facebook, which is said to be preparing for an initial public offering next year that could value it at around $100 billion.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C, or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET .(40 points)Text 1Most American movies are produced in Hollywood, California. Hollywood, which is actually not a separate city but a part of Los Angeles, is an ideal spot for the movie industry. The sun shines most of the time, and the climate is mild. Almost every kind of natural scenery is within a few hours’ drive.Hollywood becomes the center of national attention one evening a year-Academy Award night. At the Academy Award presentation held each spring, statuettes called Oscars are given to film industry winners in dozens of categories, including best actor, best actress, and best picture. The winners are chosen by members of the industry before the ceremony, but their names are kept secret until presentation night, when they are announced in a long, nationally televised program.Motion pictures were extremely popular in the United States after World War II, when television captured much of the movie audience. Geared to the masses, Hollywood movies offered much the same type of entertainment as television does. With free entertainment in their homes, many Americans simply stopped going to movies. Between 1946 and 1956, movie attendance was cut in half. At the same time, production costs zoomed. The movie industry was in trouble.The industry adjusted itself in a number of ways. Movie companies rented sound stages to TV companies and sold old movies to TV. To cut costs, Hollywood produced fewer movies and filmed many of them overseas. To lure audiences, the industry invested in new lenses, wider screens, and stereophonic sound. Studios also began producing kinds of entertainment that could not be offered by TV-films with controversial or shocking themes, films with huge casts and lavish settings. As a result of these changes, today the American motion picture industry is thriving.21.What makes Hollywood a great place for American movie industry according to the passage?[A] A famous part of Los Angeles[B] Favorable natural and traffic conditions[C] Natural scenery with mild climate and the shining sun[D] A great industrial base of American22.Which one about Oscars is correct according to the passage?[A] It is the name of a great film figure[B] It is given to World Academy Award in America each year[C] It is a yearly honor to winners in movie industry[D] It doesn’t produce until Academy Award night in each spring23.Why did many Americans like entertaining in homes instead of going to cinema after World War II?[A] Because the quality of film was becoming worse and worse[B] Because Hollywood movies couldn’t offer entertainment similar to television[C] Because the movie industry was in trouble for expensive production cost[D] Because TV’s popularity made them enjoy without paying24.What does the word “zoomed” (in the last sentence of the third paragraph) mean?[A] Moved along very quickly[B] Rose upward into the air[C] Increased high in price[D] Moved with a low humming noise25.The movie industry tried many methods to lure audiences except__________.[A] building commercial relationship with TV companies[B] improving its basic equipment[C] producing films with famous stars in low cost[D] offering types of entertainment different from TVText2The Arctic Ocean has given up tens of thousands more square kilometers of ice in a relentless summer of melt, with scientists watching through satellite eyes for a possible record low polar ice cap.From the barren Arctic shore of a village in Canada’s far northwest, veteran observer Eddie Gruben has seen the summer ice retreating more each decade as the world has warmed. By this weekend the ice edge lay 128 kilometers at sea, but forty years ago, it was 64 kilometers out. Global average temperatures rose 1 degree Fahrenheit in the past century, but Arctic temperatures rose twice as much or even faster, almost certainly in large part because of manmade greenhouse gases, researchers say. In late July the mercury soared to almost 86 degrees Fahrenheit in this settlement of 900 Arctic Eskimos.As of Thursday, the U.S. National Snow and Ice Date Center reported, the polar ice cap extended over 6.75 million square kilometers after having shrunk an average 106,000 square kilometers a day in July—equivalent to one Indiana or three Belgiums daily. The rate of melt was similar to that of July 2007, the year when the ice cap dwindled to a record minimum extent of 4.3 million square kilometers in September. In its latest analysis, NSIDC said Arctic atmospheric conditions this summer have been similar to those of the summer of 2007, including a high-pressure ridge that produced clear skies and strong melt in the Beaufort Sea, the arm of the Arctic Ocean off northern Alaska and northwestern Canada.Scientists say the makeup of the frozen polar sea has shifted significantly the past few years,as thick multiyear ice has given way as the Arctic’s dominant form to thin ice that comes and goes with each winter and summer. The past few years have “signaled a fundamental change in the character of the ice and the Arctic climate,” Meier said. Ironically, the summer melts since 2007 appear to have allowed disintegrating but still thick multiyear ice to drift this year into the relatively narrow channels of the Northwest Passage. Usually, impassable channels had been relatively ice-free the past two summers.Observation satellites’remote sensors will tell researchers in September whether the polar cap diminished this summer to its smallest size on record. Then the sun will begin to slip below the horizon for several months, and temperatures plunging in the polar darkness will freeze the surface of the sea again, leaving this and other Arctic coastlines in the grip of ice. Most of the sea ice will be new, thinner and weaker annual formations, however.At a global conference last March in Copenhagen, scientists declared that climate change is occurring faster than had been anticipated, citing the fast-dying Arctic cap as one example. A month later, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted Arctic summers could be almost ice-free within 30 years, not at the century’s end earlier predicted.26.The word “retreating” (Line2, Paragraph2) most probably means________.[A] withdrawing [B] moving back[C] melting [D] treating again27.We may infer from Paragraph 2 and 3 that____________.[A] rising Arctic temperatures result completely from manmade greenhouse gases[B] the summer ice edge was 192 kilometers at sea 40 years ago[C] the polar ice cap was over 6.87million square kilometers in July[D] the ice cap reduced to a record low minimum extent in July28.We may know that summer melts made____________.[A] some impassable channels covered by ice[B] no contribution to the makeup change of polar ice[C] thin ice become multiyear ice[D] the world climate change its character29.We learn from the last two paragraphs that____________.[A] scientists predicted future climate changes accurately[B] the polar cap diminished this summer to its smallest size on record[C] the future ice may be annually formed thinness[D] Arctic summers couldn’t be ice-free until next century30.Which of the following is the best title for this text?[A] Arctic ice lowers to its smallest size[B] Arctic ice disappears under summer sun[C] Why Arctic ice disappears soon[D] Arctic ice closely relates to climate changesText3The classic American identity theft scam works like this: the thief convinces some bank or credit card company he’s actually you and borrows God knows how many dollars in your name. Once you discover and report this, you’re not liable for money the bank lost, but neither are you entitled to compensation for the time and effort you spend straightening the matter out. Bear inmind that when I say “the thief convinces the bank he’s you”, I’m not talking about a brilliant actor and master of disguise who imitates your voice and mannerisms well enough to fool your own mother. No, all that’s necessary to fool a bank is your birth date and US social security number, or just discarded credit card offer taken from your bin.Why are lenders so careless with their money? The snarky answer is: because they know taxpayers will bail them out. But identity theft was a problem in America long before phrases like “too big to fail” entered our vocabulary. I became an identity-theft statistic nine years ago, when I opened my mail to find a bill for a maxed- out credit card I never knew I had. I spent over two weeks cleaning the mess: filing police reports, calling the company, sitting on hold, getting disconnected and calling back to sit on hold again. Considering my salary back then, I spent over a thousand dollars’ worth of my time and wasn't entitled to a penny in damages.It all could easily have been avoided, had the company made a minimal effort to ensure they were loaning money to me rather than my dishonest doppelganger. So why didn't they? Because that would take time -at least a day or two. And if people had to wait a day between applying for and receiving credit, on-the-spot loans would be impossible. Every major retail chain in America pushes these offers: “Apply for a store credit card and receive 15% off your first purchase!” From the lenders’ perspective, writing off a few bad ID-theft debts is cheaper than losing the lucrative “impulse buyer” market.But that would change if companies had to pay damages to identity theft victims. Should they have to? The supreme court of the state of Maine is currently pondering that question. In March 2008 the Hannaford supermarket chain announced that hackers broke into their database and stole the credit card information of over 4 million customers, some of whom sued Hannaford for damages. None of the customers lost money, of course, but they felt-as I did-that their time and effort are worth something too.It’s too early to know how the court will rule, but I’ll make a prediction anyway: nothing will change from the consumers’ perspective, and protecting lenders from their own bad habits will continue to be our unpaid job. When the worldwide economic meltdown started, I naively thought the subsequent tightening of credit lines would at least make identity theft less of a problem than before. But I was just being silly.31.After suffering from identity theft, you_____________.[A] should pay for money the bank lost[B] are required to report to your bank immediately[C] have to assume the cost of getting your identity back[D] won’t have to take any loss caused by it32.What’s the real meaning of “too big to fail” in para. 2?[A] Leaders are so big that they couldn’t fail at all.[B] Leaders won’t pay for their loaning carelessness.[C] Leaders are big enough to pay for any large loans.[D] America is big enough to solve any problems.33. The 3rd paragraph mainly talks about___________.[A] Why companies take efforts to avoid identity theft[B] The reason of companies’ effortlessness to h elp avoid identity theft[C] The reason of taking time to solve the problem of identity theft[D] The cause of companies offering on-the-spot loans34. The example in the 4th paragraph is cited to show that________.[A] Companies have paid for damages to identity theft victims[B] Customers often suffer from identity theft in America[C]Companies should be responsible for identity theft[D]Companies often suffer from identity theft in America35. What’s the author’s attitude to current solutio ns to identity theft?[A] Disappointed [B] Confident[C] Complicated [D] OptimisticText4Death is a difficult subject for anyone, but Americans want to talk about it less than most. They have a cultural expectation that whatever may be wrong with them, it can be fixed with the right treatment, and if the first doctor does not offer it they may seek a second, third or fourth opinion. Legal action is a constant threat, so even if a patient is very ill and likely to die, doctors and hospitals will still persist with aggressive treatment, paid for by the insurer or, for the elderly, by Medicare. That is one reason why America spends 18% of its GDP on health care, the highest proportion in the world.That does not mean that Americans are getting the world's best health care. For the past 20 years doctors at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice have been compiling the “Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care”, using Medicare data to compare health-spending patterns in different regions and institutions. They find that average costs per patient during the last two years of life in some regions can be almost twice as high as in others, yet patients in the high-spending areas do not survive any longer or enjoy better health as a result.Ira Byock is the director of palliative medicine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. His book is a plea for those near the end of their life to be treated more like individuals and less like medical cases on which all available technology must be let loose. With two decades' experience in the field, he makes a good case for sometimes leaving well alone and helping people to die gently if that is what they want.That does not include assisted suicide, which he opposes. But it does include providing enough pain relief to make patients comfortable, co-coordinating their treatment among the different specialists, keeping them informed, having enough staff on hand to see to their needs, making arrangements for them to be cared for at home where possible—and not officiously keeping them alive when there is no hope.But it is not easy to decide when to stop making every effort to save someone's life and allow them to die gently. The book quotes the case of one HIV-positive young man who was acutely ill with multiple infections. He spent over four months in hospital, much of the time on a ventilator, and had countless tests, scans and other interventions. The total bill came to over $1m. He came close to death many times, but eventually pulled through and has now returned to a normal life. It is an uplifting story, but such an outcome is very rare.Dr Byock's writing style is not everybody's cup of tea, but he is surely right to suggest better management of a problem that can only get worse. As life expectancy keeps on rising, so will the proportion of old people in the population. And with 75m American baby-boomers now on the threshold of retirement, there is a limit to what the country can afford to spend to keep them going on and on.36. According to Paragraph 1, the disproportional large spending in health care stems from[A] Americans' failure to admit death as part of their life[B] doctors' inclination to overtreat the patient[C] a culture that is obsessed with youth and health[D] a legal system which has a bias in favor of patients37. The author cited the findings of Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical practice to illustrate that[A] the medical care quality differs widely from region to region[B] there is little that hospitals can do in saving people's lives[C] a lot of medical resources are wasted[D] the American medical system is notorious for its low cost-effectiveness38. The central idea of Ira Byock's book is to appeal to the hospital to[A] save every life with every possible means[B] help people to die if that is his/her will[C] make people feel comfortable in their remaining hours[D] consider whether the cure is worthwhile before conducting it39. In the author's opinion the example of the HIV-positive young man in Paragraph 5[A] eliminates the possibility of applying gentle dying process in medicare[B] is merely an extreme case that should not be taken as a standard[C] emphasizes the importance of aggressive treatment even with slim hope[D] is used as an irony of the current state of American medical system40. According to the author, the American government will the proposal of gentle dying[A] disapprove of [B] divide at[C] hesitate at [D] side withPart BDirections:Reading the following text and answer the questions by finding a subtitle for each of the marked parts or paragraphs. There are two extra items in the subtitles. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points)[A] Convincing evidence: US is losing its appeal in the eyes of multinationals[B] Biggest hindrance: US divided political system[C] American future: stuck in the middle[D] Overstated statement: US overall competitiveness is declining[E] V oice of experts: pessimism pervades academic world[F] Economic outlook: bad but not desperate[G] Undisputed fact: US is losing its economic edge41.Is America fading? America has been gripped by worries about decline before, notably in the 1970s, only to roar back. But this time it may be serious. There is little doubt that other countries are catching up. Between 1999 and 2009 America’s share of world exports fell in almost every industry: by 36 percentage points in aerospace, nine in information technology, eight in communications equipment and three in cars. Private-sector job growth has slowed dramatically,and come to a halt in industries that are exposed to global competition. Median annual income grew by an anemic 2% between 1990 and 2010.42.The March issue of the Harvard Business Review is devoted to “American competitiveness”. The Review reports that declinism is prevalent among HBS alumni: in a survey, 71% said that American competitiveness would decline in the coming years.43.America is losing out in the race to attract good jobs. Matthew Slaughter of Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business points out that multinational firms increased employment in America by 24% in the 1990s. But since then they have been cutting back on jobs in America. They have moved dull repetitive tasks abroad, and even some sophisticated ones, too. The proportion of the employees of American multinationals who work for subsidiaries abroad rose from 21.4% in 1989 to 32.3% in 2009. The share of research-and-development spending going to foreign subsidiaries rose from 9% in 1989 to 15.6% in 2009; that of capital investment rose from 21.8% in 1999 to 29.6% in 2009.44.America’s poli tical system comes in for particularly harsh criticism: 60% of HBS alumni said that it was worse than those in other advanced countries. David Moss of HBS argues that such complaints are nothing new: American politicians have been squabbling about the role of government ever since Thomas Jefferson butted heads with Alexander Hamilton. But in the past this often led to fruitful compromises. But such compromises are rarer these days. Republicans and Democrats are more ideologically divided, and less inclined to make pragmatic concessions.45.For all this gloom, the Review’s gurus argue that, as Bill Clinton said in his first inaugural address, there is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America. The country has huge strengths, from its world-beating universities to its tolerance of risk-taking. It has a highly diverse market: firms that seek cheap labour can move to Mississippi, where wages are a third lower than those in Massachusetts. Rosabeth Moss Kanter of HBS points to the extraordinary amount of innovation that is going on not just in Silicon Valley but across the country.Yet it is difficult to read this collection of essays without a sense of foreboding. The one thing that worries the HBS alumni more than anything else—the state of American politics—is the most difficult to fix. The political pendulum swings unpredictably, making it hard to plan for the future. Should companies assume that they will have to abide by Mr Obama’s health-care law when it comes into effect in 2014, or will the Republicans have repealed it by then? No one knows.Section III Translation46. Direction:Translate the following text from English into Chinese. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET .

You can take either stand and provide specific reasons and examples to support your idea. You should write at least 150 words.(分数:2.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(正确答案: According to statistics, the average holidays Chinese enjoy are 115 days per year, ranking the 59th among the 65 countries surveyed.

A major disadvantage of a long holiday is that we would suffer the post-holiday syndrome. Post-holiday syndrome refers to the slackness and unwillingness to get back to work after a long holiday. Those who spend their week-long or even month-long holiday would have to take days to adjust themselves in order to fit into the working schedule. If we take only three days off, we would not develop a haphazard schedule and would still be able to recharge ourselves in a retreat. When the short holiday is over, we are energized and well prepared to work on schedule again.

考研二英语真题作文范文
考研二英语真题作文范文Possible essay:The Importance of Critical Thinking。
The ability to think critically is essential for success in many areas of life, including academic study, professional work, and personal relationships. Critical thinking involves analyzing information, evaluating arguments, and making reasoned judgments based on evidence and logic. It enables us to question assumptions, challenge biases, and consider multiple perspectives. In this essay, I will discuss the importance of critical thinking and how it can be developed and applied in various contexts.Firstly, critical thinking is crucial for academic study. It allows us to read and interpret texts, toidentify key concepts and arguments, and to assess their validity and relevance. It also enables us to formulate our own ideas and arguments, to support them with evidence, andto anticipate and respond to counterarguments. Without critical thinking, we may simply accept what we are told or read, without questioning its accuracy, credibility, or implications. This can lead to misunderstandings, errors, and missed opportunities for learning.Secondly, critical thinking is essential for professional work. It enables us to solve problems, to make decisions, and to innovate. It also helps us to communicate effectively with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders, by presenting clear and convincing arguments and by responding to feedback and criticism. Without critical thinking, we may rely on intuition, habit, or authority, without considering alternative options or weighing their pros and cons. This can lead to inefficiencies, errors, and missed opportunities for improvement.Thirdly, critical thinking is valuable for personal relationships. It enables us to understand others' perspectives, to empathize with their feelings, and to communicate respectfully and constructively. It also helps us to reflect on our own beliefs, values, and biases, andto challenge or modify them as needed. Without critical thinking, we may judge others based on stereotypes, assumptions, or emotions, without considering their individuality, complexity, or diversity. This can lead to misunderstandings, conflicts, and missed opportunities for connection.Therefore, it is important to develop and applycritical thinking skills in various contexts. This can be done through various methods, such as reading widely, questioning assumptions, seeking evidence, analyzing arguments, and evaluating sources. It can also be done through collaborative activities, such as debates, discussions, and projects, which require us to listen to others, to consider different perspectives, and to justify our own views. Moreover, critical thinking can be enhanced by reflection, by asking ourselves why we think what we think, and by considering how our thinking affects our actions and relationships.In conclusion, critical thinking is a vital skill for success in academic study, professional work, and personalrelationships. It enables us to analyze information, evaluate arguments, and make reasoned judgments based on evidence and logic. It also helps us to question assumptions, challenge biases, and consider multiple perspectives. Therefore, we should develop and applycritical thinking skills in various contexts, through reading, questioning, analyzing, collaborating, and reflecting. By doing so, we can enhance our ability to learn, to work, and to relate to others in a more effective and fulfilling way.。

怎样才能遏制校园暴力?请提出你的建议。
正确答案:Gun shots, gang fights and peers bullying in the campus in U.S. are reported now and then In China, some of these problems are actually more and more prominent Given this context, to stop campus violence, I think it is best to set up a proactive counseling scheme. First of all, this counseling scheme takes preemptive measures to nib the bud of violence before it is too late. We do not wait for the problems to happen. Instead, we detect some signs of violence and pinpoint the offenders, who will be subject to mandatory counseling. Second, counseling scheme is also accessible to those potential victims of campus violence. Usually, being afraid of the retaliation from reporting the violence offence, victims keep silent and suppress their feelings. If a counseling scheme is set up, victims can turn to it for guidance and help. They are able to get the psychological sessions and possible intervention could be staged before it is too late. In conclusion, I think a campus-based counseling scheme is helpful and beneficial to prevent, intervene and eliminate violence.解析:本题要求考生对“如何遏止校园暴力”提出个人的意见。

这样下去势必会出现一些问题。
你的看法如何?正确答案:Nowadays, while an increasing number of people are busy learning foreign languages, the attention to the study of our mother tongue is on the decline. Should such a trend continue, it would definitely lead to an undesirable result in the long run. The reasons for our ignorance of the study of Chinese are obvious. Firstly, globalization plays a major role in the prevalence of the nowadays internationally used language-English, distracting us from studying our own language. Secondly, our schools are not attaching any importance to the education of Chinese. The lesson hours of Chinese are far fewer than those of English, and English has now even crowded into the teaching syllabus of primary schools, occupying the time that pupils should otherwise spend studying Chinese. In order to change the situation, efforts from governments and schools alike should be made. It is essential to set more Chinese lessons, and even more importantly, students’ awareness of the study of our own language should be raised. After all, the promotion of our language is the key to the prosperity of our nation’s culture.解析:本题要求考生就“注重汉语学习”提出自己的看法。

英语二作文模拟Title: English Writing Simulation。
As a student learning English, it is important to practice writing in order to improve language skills. In this English writing simulation, we will explore the process of brainstorming, organizing ideas, and crafting a well-written essay.First, let's begin with brainstorming. When given a writing prompt or topic, it is important to take some time to think about different aspects of the topic. For example, if the prompt is about the importance of environmental conservation, we can brainstorm ideas such as the impact of human activities on the environment, the benefits of preserving natural resources, and the role of individualsin protecting the planet. By jotting down these ideas, we can have a clearer picture of what we want to write about.Next, we move on to organizing our ideas. This involvescreating an outline that will serve as a roadmap for our essay. The outline should include an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. In the introduction, we can provide some background information on the topic and present a thesis statement that outlines the main argument of the essay. The body paragraphs should each focus on a specific idea or point, supported by evidence and examples. Finally, the conclusion should summarize the main points and restate the thesis in a new way.With our ideas organized, it's time to start writing the essay. When writing, it's important to pay attention to the structure of the essay. Each paragraph should have a clear topic sentence, supporting details, and a transition to the next paragraph. Additionally, we should use avariety of sentence structures and vocabulary to make our writing more engaging. It's also important to proofread our work for grammar and spelling errors before submitting the final draft.After completing the essay, it's helpful to review and reflect on our writing. We can ask ourselves questions suchas: Does the essay effectively convey my ideas? Is the writing clear and easy to understand? Are there any areas that need improvement? By self-reflecting, we can identify areas for growth and continue to refine our writing skills.In conclusion, this English writing simulation provides a structured approach to practicing and improving our writing abilities. By engaging in the process of brainstorming, organizing ideas, and crafting a well-written essay, we can develop our language skills and become more proficient writers. With dedication and practice, we can continue to enhance our English writing abilities and effectively communicate our ideas.。

In this section, you are asked to write an essay on the consequences of teenage smoking. You can provide specific reasons and examples to support your idea. You should write at least 150 words.(分数:2.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(正确答案: It is very hard to see any advertisement or promotion about cigarettes. Still, cigarettes manage to find their way to teenagers. At their tender age, teenagers might be tempted by the illusion that smoking is cool. That is mainly why more and more teenagers develop a habit of smoking. The major consequence of teenage smoking is the harmful impact on health. As is known to all, smoking is the major cause of lung cancer and many other respiratory diseases. Once developed, the smoking habit is addictive and hard to get rid of. This means those young smokers will have a longer smoking history than those adult smokers and are more prone to smoking-induced illnesses. In addition to this, we should be aware that the lung is a delicate organ. When it is impaired, it is hardly reversible. In conclusion, teenagers should be warned about the health hazard caused by smoking and they shall not develop the habit of smoking simply because it is "cool" or "awesome". What is really awesome is a healthy life.)解析:解析:本题要求考生对“青少年吸烟的后果”提出个人的意见。
