2020年12月大学英语四级作文真题解析——写作范文(第三篇)
2020年12月大学英语四级作文真题解析——写作范文(第三篇)Never go out there to see what happens, go out there to make something happenThere is no doubt that we should never go out there tosee what happens; instead, we should take actions to make things happen. A telling example is Youyou Tu. She and her colleagues made 380 extracts from 2,00 herbs before theyfinally succeeded in discovering the pure substance qinghaosu, which can be used to treat malaria. As we all know, therewere numerous scientists who wanted to find this substance,but it was her firm actions that made her the first Chinese Nobel laureate in medicine.Why?Reasons are quite simple and can be listed as follows. To begin with, only by taking actions can we find the bestway to solve those problems we are facing, but as a bystander, we can learn nothing meaningful. In addition, in an age fullof ruthless and relentless competitions, without takingactions to make things happen, we are bound to lose those valuable opportunities. For instance, if Apple had just gone out there to see what happens in mobile phones, it could not have presented the amazing product, iPhone, to us.Accordingly, we college students should not just be a watcher but a doer. In my humble opinion, we can start from applying what we have learned into practice.。

2020年12月大学英语四级作文真题及范文(3套)
2020年12月英语四级作文及范文3套一教育方式的变化Changes of educationAs the internet and digital technology is developing at an unprecedented rate, education is changed in a profound way. During the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers and students from primary schools to universities resort to the internet as the main way of teaching and studying, making online education a paramount means of schooling.Online education has brought about significant benefits. Firstly, the access to education is considerably expanded. Massive information is now available at one’s fingertips through the Internet. Secondly, online education means more flexibility for its users. Students no longer have to be tied to a classroom or a schedule. Instead, they can attend classes at their favorite time and spots. Finally, online education is generally affordable than offline education. As a result, almost all strata of people are given the opportunity to enjoy education.In a nutshell, the shift in education mode is undoubtedly a positive signal. With the support of the Internet and smart devices, people throughout the world are granted the opportunity to enjoy effective and efficient education.二交通方式的变化Changes in the way of transportationThanks to the rapid development of automation and new technologies, means of transportation have changed fundamentally over the last few decades. transformed travelling modes greatly improved people’s daily life.To start with, the cost of transportation has dropped considerably. For example, flight and train tickets are much cheaper than before. What comes along with lower prices is more options. Besides, the speed and the level of comfort during the journey has tremendously improved. Moreover, a more extensive network allows people to travel freely not only within their usual living area, but also to farther parts of the world. The complex network of roads, highways, railways and air and sea routes connects all corners of the world.To sum up, effective transportation systems will continue to bring convenience to people's lives. Some might argue against such stance because of the pollution caused by it, yet I’m still convinced that modern transportation system can benefit all humans.三沟通方式的变化Changes in the way of communicationIn the 21st century, science and technology is developing in an unprecedent way, thus changing our lives in every respect, especially in the way of communication. People have different views regarding whether the way of communication has changed for the better or for the worse.Some people hold that technology has made communication ever convenient. In the past, people had to talk face-to-face, which could be very time-consuming. Now, with the advent of smart phones, people no longer communicate in the old ways. Instead, most people text, send voice messages and make video calls through socialnetworking apps such as Wechat. No matter where you are, communication can be done in a blink of the eye.However, others regard technology as the culprit behind a decline in face-to-face talking. They believe that the best way of communicating is face-to-face talking for communication. It is not only about languages, but also emotions and feelings. Therefore, people should make the effort to avoid becoming over-reliant on our devices.In my perspective, although technology has led to less face-to-face talking, we have to give credit to technology for expanding the comparatively limited communication options we had available in the past. We can still talk to each other in person, but we can also be thankful for the ability to choose when communicating today.。

可是,我的好朋友小明就因为太依赖翻译软件出问题了。
学校有个英语小竞赛,要写小短文。
他平时都用翻译软件,自己根本没好好学单词和语法。
结果在竞赛的时候,不能用翻译软件,他就傻了眼,好多单词不会写,句子也写得乱七八糟的。
所以呀,翻译软件用得好是福,能帮我们学习。
用不好就成祸啦,会让我们变懒,学不到真本事。
我们可以用它来查一些特别难的单词或者偶尔核对下自己的翻译对不对,但不能啥都靠它。
作文二。
翻译软件呀,有时候可真是个好帮手。

她对着那些翻译题,脑子一片空白,因为她都没有好好去记单词和句子结构。

作文三。

他做英语作业的时候,不管是单词还是句子,都用翻译软件。

他什么都不会,成绩特别差。
我们要正确对待翻译软件呀。

2020年7月三卷四级作文英文回答:In the realm of education, the role of technology has undergone a profound transformation, becoming an indispensable tool for both students and educators. The integration of technology into the learning process has brought about a myriad of benefits, including enhanced access to educational resources, personalized learning experiences, and improved communication and collaboration.One of the most significant advantages of technology in education is its ability to provide students with ubiquitous access to information and resources.

Adaptive learning software and interactive simulations enable students to progress at their own pace, focusing on areas where they needadditional support. By tracking students' progress and providing feedback, technology can help educators identify and address learning gaps more effectively.Furthermore, technology enhances communication and collaboration among students and educators. Virtual learning platforms allow students to participate in online discussions, share ideas, and collaborate on projects remotely. This fosters a sense of community and promotes active engagement beyond the traditional classroom setting. Through video conferencing and instant messaging, students can connect with experts, guest speakers, and peers from around the world, expanding their perspectives and enriching their educational experiences.While technology has undoubtedly transformed the educational landscape, it is important to acknowledge thatits implementation also poses certain challenges. Equitable access to technology, particularly in underserved communities, remains a concern. Additionally, the excessive use of technology can lead to distractions and a decreasein face-to-face interactions, potentially undermining the social and emotional development of students.In conclusion, technology has revolutionized the educational experience, providing students with unprecedented access to resources, personalized learning opportunities, and enhanced communication channels. By harnessing the potential of technology while mitigating its challenges, educators can empower students to succeed in the 21st-century globalized world.中文回答:科技在教育领域的作用发生了深刻的变化,成为学生和教育工作者必不可少的工具。

In American history, immigrants used to have a good chance to move upward in society.D定位句:This is a city of immigrants——38 percent of the city's population today is foreign-born ——and immigrants and their children have historically experienced significant upward mobility in America.38. If the problems of San Jose can't be solved, one of America's fundamental beliefs about itself can be shaken.K定位句:The idea that those at the bottom can rise to the top is central to America's ideas about itself.

Each paragraph is marked with a letter; Answer the questions by marking the corr es pmding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The History of the Lmch BoxA)It was made of shiny, bright pink plastic with a Little Mermaid sticker on the front, and I carried itwith me nearly every single day. My lunch box was one of my first prized possessions, a proud statement to everyone in my kindergarten: "I love Mermaid-Ariel on my lunch box. "B)That bulky container served me well through my first and second grades, until the live-action versionof 101 Dalmatians hit theaters, and I needed the newest red plastic box with characters like Pongo and Perdita on the front. I know I'm not alone here-I bet you loved your first lunch box, too.C)Lunch boxes have been connecting kids to cartoons and TV shows and super-heroes for decades. But itwasn't always that way. Once upon a time, they weren't even boxes. As schools have changed in the past century, the midday meal container has evolved right along with them.D)Let's start b,a ck at the beginning of the 20th century-the beginning of the lunch box story, really._While there were neighborhood schools in cities and suburbs, one-room schoolhouses were common in rural areas. As grandparents have been saying for generations, kids would travel miles to school in the countryside (often on foot).E)"You had kids in rural areas who couldn't go home from school for lunch, so bringing your lunchwrapped in a cloth' in oiled paper, in a little wooden box or something like that was a .v ery longstanding rural tradition," says Paula Johnson, ·h ead of food history section at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D. C.F)City kids, on the other hand, went home for lunch and came back. Since they rarely carried a-meal,the few metal lunch buckets on the market were mainly for tradesmen and factory workers.G)After World War II, a bunch of changes reshaped school�and lunches. More women joined theworkforce� Small schools c n solidated into larger ones, meaning more students were farther away from home.: And the National School Lunch Act in 1946 made cafeterias much ·m ore common. Still, there wasn't much of a market for lunch containers-yet. Students who carried their lun c h often did so in a re-purposed bucket or tin of so�e kind.H)' And then�verything changed in the year of 1950. You might as well call it.the Year of the Lunch Box,thanks in -large part to a genius move by a Nashville-based manufacturer, Aladdin Industries. The company already made square metal meal containers, the kind workers carried, and some had started to show up·in the hands of school kids.I)But these containers were really durable, lasting years on end. That was great for the consumer, not somuch for the manufacturer. So executives at Aladdin hit on an idea that would harness the newfound popularity of television. They covered lunch boxes with·striking red paint and added a picture of TV and radio cowboy Hopalong Cassidy on the front.J)The company sold 600,000 units the first year. It was a major" Ah-ha!" moment, and a wave of other manufacturers jumped on board to capitalize on new TV shows and movies. "The Partridge Family,the Addams Family, the Six Million Dollar Man, the Bionic Woman-everything that was on television ended up on a lunch box," says Allen Woodall. He's the founder of the Lunch Box Museum inC lumbus, Georgia. "It was a great marketing tool because kids were taking that TV show to schoolwith them, and then when they got home they had them captured back on TV," he says.K)And yes, you read that right: There is a lunch box museum, right near the Chattahoochee River.: Woodall has more than 2,000 items on display. His favorite? The Green.H ornet lunch box, because he used to listen to the radio show back in the 1940s.L)The new trend was also a great example of planned obsolesce n ce, that is, to design a product so that it will soon become unfashionable or impossible to use and will need replacing. Kids would beg for a new lunch box every year to keep up with the newest characters, even if their old lunch box was perfectly_ .usable.M)The metal lunch box craze lasted until the mid-1980s, when plastic took over. Two theories exist as to why. The first-and most likely-is that plastic had simply become cheaper. The second theorypossibly an urban myth-is that concerned parents in several states proposed bans on metal lunch boxes, claiming kids were us i ng them as "weapo n s" to hit one another. There's a lot on the internet about a state-wide ban in Florida, but a few days worth of digging by a historian at the Florida State Historical Society found no such legislation. Either way, the metal lunch box was out.N)The last few decades have brought a new lunch box revolution, of sorts. Plastic boxes changed to lined cloth sacks, and eventually, globalism brought tif fin containers from India and bento boxes from Japan. Even the old metal lunch boxes have regained popularity. "I don't think the heyday (�Jl:,e,J-Jl}J) has passed," says D .J. Jayasekara, owner and founder of lunchbox. com, a retailer in Pasadena, California. "I think it has evolved. The days of the ready-made, 'you stick it in a lunch box and carry it to school' are kind of done."0)Th e introduction of backpacks changed the lunch box scene a bit, he adds. Once kids started carryingbook bags, that bulky traditional lun�h box was hard to fit inside. "But you can't just throw a sandwich in a backpack," Jayasekara says. "It still has to go into a container." That is, in part, why smaller and softer containers have taken off-they fit into backpacks.P)And don't worry-whether it's a plastic bento box or a cloth bag, lunch containers can still easily be covered with popular culture. "We keep pace with the movie industries so we can predict which characters are going to be popular for the coming months," Jayasekara says. "You know, kids are kids."36.Lunch containers were not necessary for school kids in cities.37.Putting TV characters on lunch boxes proved an effective marketing strategy.38.Smaller lunch boxes are preferred because they fit easily.into backpacks.39.Lunch boxes have evolved along with the transformation of schools.40.Around the beginning of the nineteen fifties, some school kids started to use metal meal containers.41.School kids are eager to get a new lunch box every year to stay in fashion.42.Rural kids used to walk a long way to school in the old days.43.The author was proud of using a lunch box in her childhood.44.The most probable reason for the popularity of plastic lunch boxes is that they are less expensive.45.The durability of metal meal containers benefited consumers.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or un finished statements. For each of them t here are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following pas.gge.A growing number of U.S. bike riders are attracted to electric·bikes for convenience, health benefits and their fun factor. Although ebikes first appeared in the 90s, cheaper options and longer-lasting batteries are breathing new,life into the concept.Established bike·companies and startups are embracing ebikes to meet demand. About 34 million ebikes were sold worldwide last year, according to data from eCycleElectric Co n sultants. Most were sold in Europe and China, where the bikes already have exploded in popularity. Recently, the U.S. market has grown to 263,000 bikes, a 25 %gain from the prior year.The industry is benefiting from improved batteries as suppliers over the years developed technology for laptops, smartphones and electric cars. In 2004, the price of batteries used on ebikes fell, spurring European sales.But lower cost options ai'e emerging, too. This month, three U.S. bikeshare companies, Motivate, LimeBike and Spin, announced electric bicycles will be added to their fleets. New York-based Jump Bikes is already operating an electric bikeshare in Washington, D. C., and is launching in San Francisco Thursday. Rides cost $ 2 for 30 minutes.The system works like existing dockless bikeshare systems, where riders unlock bikes through a smartphone app. "This is the beginning of a long-term shift away from regular pedal (1$-�) to electric bikes," said Jump Bikes CEO Ryan Rzepecki. "When people first jump on an ebike, their face lights up. It's exciting and joyful in a way that you don't get from a regular bike."Two years ago, CEO Chris Cocalis of Pivot Cycles, which sells high-end mountain bikes, found that U.S. bike shops weren't interested in stocking ebikes. Some retailers warned Cocalis that they'd drop the brand if it cam e out with an electric bike.Now that sales are taking off, the vast majority of bike dealers are asking Cocalis when he'll make an ebike available. -"There's tremendous opportunity to get a generation of people fot whom suffering_isn't their thing," Cocalis said. "Ebike riders get the enjoyable part of cycling without the mass i ve suffering of climbing huge hills. "46.What do we learn from the passage about ebikes?A)Their health benefits and fun values outweigh their cost.B)They did not catch public attention in the United States until the -1990s.C)They did not become popular until the emergence of improved batteries.D)Their widespread use is attributable to people's environmental awareness.47.What brought about the boost in ebike sales in Europe at the beginning of the century?A)Updated technology of bike manufacture.B)The falling prices of ebike batteries.C)Changed fashion in short-distance travel.D)The rising costs for making electric cars.48.What is the prospect of the bike industry according to Ryan Rzepecki?A)More will be invested in bike battery research.B)The sales of ebikes will increase.C)It will profit from ebike sharing.D)It will make a difference in people's daily lives.49.What prevented Chris Cocalis from developing ebikes sooner?A)Retailers' refusal to deal in ebikes.B)High profits from conventional bikes.C)Users' co n cern about risks of ebike riding.D)His focus on selling costly mountain bikes.50.What makes Chris Cocalis believe there is a greater opportunity for ebike sales?A)The further lowering of ebike prices.B)The public's concern for their health.C)The increasing interest in mountain climbing.D)The younger generation's pursuit of comfortable riding.Passage 1\voQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following p;mage.The terms "global warming" and "climate change" are used by many, seemingly interchangeably. But do they really mean the same thing?Scientists shaped the history of the terms while attempting ·to accurately describe how humans continue to alter the planet. Later, political strategists adopted the terms to influence public opinion.In 1975, geochemist Wallace Broecker introduced the term "climate change"·in an article published by Sc i ence. In 1979, a National Academy of Sciences report used the term "global warming" to define increases in the Earth's average surface temperature, while "climate change" more broadly referred to the numerous effects of this increase, such as sea-level rise and ocean acidification (it �t,).During the following decades, some industrialists and politicians launched a campaign to sow doubt in the minds of the American public about the ability of fossil-fuel use, deforestation and other human activities to influence the planet's climate.Word use played a critical role in developing that doubt. For example, the language and polls expert Frank Luntz wrote a memo encouraging the use of "climate change" because the phrase sounded less scary than "global warming," reported the Guardian.However, Luntz's recommendation wasn't necessary. A Google Ngram Viewer chart shows that by 1993 climate change was already more commonly used in books than global warming. By the end of the next decade both words were used more frequently, and climate change was used nearly twice as of t en as global warming.NASA used the term "climate change" because it more accurately reflects the wide range of changes to the planet caused by increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.The debate isn't new. A century ago, chemist Svante Arrhenius started one of the first debates over the potential for humans to influence the planet's climate. Arrhenius calculated the capability of carbon dioxide to trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, but other chemists disagreed. Some argued that humans weren't producing enough greenhouse gases, while others claimed the effects would be tiny. Now, ofcourse, we know that whatever you call it, human behavior is warming the planet, with grave consequences ahead.51.Why did politic�ans use the two terms "global warming'' and "climate change"?A)To sway public opinion of the impact of human activities on Earth.B)To more accurately describe the consequences of human activities.C)To win more popular votes in their campaign activities.D)To assure the public of the safety of existing industries.52.As used in a National Academy of Sciences report, the term "climate change" differs from "globalwarming'' in that ___A)it sounds less vagueC)it covers more phenomena B)it looks more scientificD)it is much closer to reality 53.What did industrialists of the late 20th century resort to in order to mislead Americans?A)Made-up survey results.C)False research findings.B)Hired climate experts.D)Deliberate choice of words.54.Why did NASA choose the term "climate change"?A)To obtain more funds.C)For political needs.B)For greater precision.D)To avoid .d ebate.55.What is the author's final co n clusion?A)Global warming is the more accurate term.B)Accuracy of terminology matters in science.C)Human activities have serious effects on Earth.D)Politics interferes with serious scientific debate.Part NTranslation ( 30 minutes) Directions : For this part , you are allowed BO minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

2020年12月四级真题第三套作文范文全文共8篇示例,供读者参考篇1哈哈,好啦,我来给你写一写2020年12月四级真题第三套作文吧!在这篇作文里,我们要谈谈人工智能和自动化技术对就业的影响。
大家都知道,现在很多工作都被机器人和电脑代替了,比如工厂里面的机器人在流水线上做一些重复的工作。
还有一些工人也被一些很聪明的电脑软件给取代了,所以有些人就失业了。
可是,人工智能和自动化技术也给我们带来了一些新的工作机会。
比如有些人在开发人工智能软件,还有人在设计和制造机器人。
这些工作以前都是没有的,现在却需要很多人来从事。
不过,人工智能和自动化技术还是给很多传统工作带来了一些挑战。
因为机器人和电脑做事情都比人快多了,而且从来不会感到累。
所以很多公司就希望用机器来代替人,可以降低成本,提高效率。
那我们该怎么办呢?我个人觉得,我们需要学习一些新的技能,去适应新的工作环境。
像是学习编程,学习操作先进的机器设备之类的。
政府和学校也应该帮助工人们进修,学习新的技能。
总的来说,人工智能和自动化给我们的生活带来了很多变化。
我们要积极去拥抱这些变化,努力学习新事物,而不是固步自封。
只有这样,我们才能在未来的社会里生存下去,过上更加美好的生活。

2020年12月四级写作真题第三套作文
2020年12月四级作文题目(3套)及参考范文第一套【Directions】For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the change of communication. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.【参考范文】With the development of science and technology, we have witnessed the various huge changes of our daily life, among which, the change of communication is striking. However, people’s view on it never come to consensus. Concerning it, both communication online and offline have their merits.For one thing, no one denies that communication online brings great convenience to us, especially to those who have friends or relatives in remote areas. Because the change makes it possible for them to have frequent chat. And, the way we contact with others is diverse. Video calls and voice message can both meet modern people’s satisfaction. For another, the change is also making us disconnected. Due to the availability, people are gradually reluctant to have face-to-face communication with surrounding people, which is isolating us from the people we love.Given the factors above, the change of communication, we have to admit, is more like a double-edged sword. Neither do we discard it nor completely rely on it. Instead, we should make reasonable use of it so as to maximize its benefits.【参考译文】随着科学技术的发展,我们见证了我们日常生活中的各种巨大变化,其中沟通方式的变化是引人注目的。
2020年12月大学英语四级真题及答案(第三套)
2020年12月大学英语四级真题及答案(第三套)Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write on the topic Changes in the Way of Communication. You should write at least 120 words but not more than 180 words.Part II Listening Comprehension 听力共两套,已放在第一二套,此套不再重复。
Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in thebank is identified by a letter: Please mark the corresponding letter for each item onAnswer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of thewords in the bank more than once.Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passageThe things people make, and the way they make them, determine how cities grow and decline, and influence how empires rise and fall. So, any disruption to the world's factories 26 . And that disruption is surely coming. Factories are being digitised, filled with new sensors and new computers to make them quicker, more 27 and more efficient.Robots are breaking free from the cages that surround them, learning new skills and new ways of working. And 3D printers have long 28 a world where you can make anything; anywhere, from a computerised design. That vision is 29 closer to reality. These forces will lead to cleaner factories, producing better goods at lower prices, personalised to our individual needs and desires. Humans will be 30 many of the dirty, repetitive, and dangerous jobs that have long been a 31 of factory life.Greater efficiency 32 means fewer people can do the same work. Yet factory bosses in many developed countries are worried about a lack of skilled human workers-and see 33 and robots as a solution. But economist Helena Leurent says this period of rapid change in manufacturing is a 34 opportunity to make the world a better place. "Manufacturing is the one system where you have got the biggest source of innovation, the biggest source of economic growth, and the biggest source of great jobs in the past. You can see it changing. That's an opportunity to 35 that system differently, and if we can, it will have tremendous significance. "A. automationB. concernsC. enormouslyD. fantasticE. fascinatedF. featureG. flexibleH. inevitablyI. interactionJ. leaningK. matters L. moving M. promised N. shape O. spared Section BDirections:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs Identify theparagraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraphmore than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter:Answer the questions bymarking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The History of the Lunch BoxA) It was made of shiny, bright pink plastic with a Little Mermaid sticker on the front, and Icarried it with me nearly every single day. My lunch box was one of my first prized possessions, a proud statement to everyone in my kindergarten; "I love Mermaid-Ariel on my lunch box"B) That bulky container served me well through my first and second grades, until the live-actionversion of 101 Dalmatians hit theaters, and I needed the newest red plastic box with characters like Pongo and Perdita on the front. I know I'm not alone here-I bet you loved your first lunch box, too.C) Lunch boxes have been connecting kids to cartoons and TV shows and super-heroes fordecades. But it wasn't always that way. Once upon a time, they weren't even boxes. As schools have changed in the past century, the midday meal container has evolved right along with them.D) Let's start back at the beginning of the 20th century-the beginning of the lunch box story,really. While there were neighborhood schools in cities and suburbs, one-room schoolhouses were common in rural areas. As grandparents have been saying for generations, kids would travel miles to school in the countryside (often on foot.)E) "You had kids in rural areas who couldn't go home from school for lunch, so bringing yourlunch wrapped in a cloth, in oiled paper, in a little wooden box or something like that was a very long-standing rural tradition," says Paula Johnson, head of food history section at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D. C.F) City kids, on the other hand, went home for lunch and came back. Since they rarely carried ameal, the few metal lunch buckets on the market were mainly for tradesmen and factory workers.G) After World War I, a bunch of changes reshaped schools-and lunches. More women joined theworkforce. Small schools consolidated into larger ones, meaning more students were farther away from home.' And the National School Lunch Act in 1946 made cafeterias much more common. Still, there wasn't much of a market for lunch containers-yet. Students who carried their lunch often did so in a re-purposed bucket or tin of some kind.H) And then everything changed in the year of 1950. You might as well call it the Year of theLunch Box, thanks in large part to a genius move by a Nashville-based manufacturer, Aladdin Industries. The company already made square metal meal containers, the kind workers carried, and some had started to show up in the hands of school kids.I) But these containers were really durable, lasting years on end. That was great for theconsumer, not so much for the manufacturer. So executives at Aladdin hit on an idea that would harness the newfound popularity of television. They covered lunch boxes with striking red paint and added a picture of TV and radio cowboy Hopalong Cassidy on the front.J) The company sold 600,000 units the first year. It was a major "Ah-ha!" moment, and a wave of other manufacturers jumped on board to capitalize on new TV shows and movies."ThePartridge Family, the Addams Family, the Six Million Dollar Man, the Bionic Woman-everything that was on television ended up on a lunch box,"says Allen Woodall. He's the founder of the Lunch Box Museum in Columbus, Georgia."It was a great marketing tool because kids were taking that TV show to school with them, and then when they got home they had them captured back on TV," he says.K) And yes, you read that right: There is a hunch box museum, right near the Chattahoochee River, Woodall has more than 2,000 items on display. His favorite? The Green Hornet lunch box, because he used to listen to the radio show back in the 1940s.L)The new trend was also a great example of planned obsolescence, that is, to design a product so that it will soon become unfashionable or impossible to use and will need replacing. Kids would beg for a new lunch box every year to keep up with the newest characters, even if their old lunch box was perfectly usable.M) The metal lunch box craze lasted until the mid-1980s,when plastic took over. Two theories exist as to why. The first-and most likely-is that plastic had simply become cheaper. The second theory possibly an urban myth-is that concerned parents in several states proposed bans on metal lunch boxes, claiming kids were using them as "weapons" to hit one another.There's a lot on the internet about a state-wide ban in Florida, but a few days worth of digging by a historian at the Florida State Historical Society found no such legislation. Either way, the metal lunch box was out.N) The last few decades have brought a new lunch box revolution, of sorts. Plastic boxes changed to lined cloth sacks, and eventually, globalism brought tiffin containers from India and bento boxes from Japan. Even the old metal lunch boxes have regained popularity."I don't think the heyday(盛时期)has passed," says D.J.Jayasekara, owner and founder of , a retailer in Pasadena, California. "I think it has evolved. The days of the ready-made, 'you stick it in a lunch box and carry it to school' are kind of done. "O) The introduction of backpacks changed the hunch box scene a bit, he adds. Once kids started carrying book bags, that bulky traditional hunch box was hard to fit inside. "But you can't just throw a sandwich in a backpack," Jayasekara says. "It still has to go into a container."That is, in part, why smaller and softer containers have taken off-they fit into backpacks.P) And don't worry-whether it's a plastic bento box or a cloth bag, lunch containers can still easily be covered with popular culture. "We keep pace with the movie industries so we can predict which characters are going to be popular for the coming months," Jayasekara says."You know, kids are kids."36. Lunch containers were not necessary for school kids in cities.37. Putting TV characters on lunch boxes proved an effective marketing strategy.38. Smaller hunch boxes are preferred because they fit easily into backpacks.39. Lunch boxes have evolved along with the transformation of schools.40. Around the beginning of the nineteen fifties, some school kids started to use metal mealcontainers.41. School kids are eager to get a new lunch box every year to stay in fashion.42. Rural kids used to walk a long way to school in the old days.43. The author was proud of using a hunch box in her childhood.44. The most probable reason for the popularity of plastic hunch boxes is that they are lessexpensive.45. The durability of metal meal containers benefited consumers.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 and 50 are based on the following passage.A growing number of U. S. bike riders are attracted to electric bikes for convenience, health benefits and their fun factor. Although ebikes first appeared in the 90s, cheaper options and longer-lasting batteries are breathing new life into the concept.Established bike companies and startups are embracing ebikes to meet demand. About 34 million ebikes were sold worldwide last year, according to data from eCycleElectric Consultants. Most were sold in Europe and China, where the bikes already have exploded in popularity. Recently, the U. S. market has grown to 263,000 bikes, a 25% gain from the prior year.The industry is benefiting from improved batteries as suppliers over the years developed technology for laptops, smartphones and electric cars. In 2004, the price of batteries used on ebikes fell, spurring European sales.But lower cost options are emerging, too. This month, three U. S. bikeshare companies, Motivate, LimeBike and Spin, announced electric bicycles will be added to their fleets. New York-based Jump Bikes is already operating an electric bikeshare in Washington, D. C., and is launching in San Francisco Thursday. Rides cost $ 2 for 30 minutes.The system works like existing dockless bikeshare systems, where riders unlock bikes through a smartphone app. "This is the beginning of a long-term shift away from regular pedal (踏板) to electric bikes," said Jump Bikes CEO Ryan Rzepecki. "When people first jump on an ebike, their face lights up. It's exciting and joyful in a way that you don't get from a regular bike."Two years ago, CEO Chris Cocalis of Pivot Cycles, which sells high-end mountain bikes, found that U. S. bike shops weren't interested in stocking ebikes. Some retailers warned Cocalis that they'd drop the brand if it came out with an electric bike.Now that sales are taking off, the vast majority of bike dealers are asking Cocalis when he' Il make an ebike available. "There's tremendous opportunity to get a generation of people for whom suffering isn't their thing," Cocalis said. "Ebike riders get the enjoyable part of cycling without the massive suffering of climbing huge hills."46. What do we learn from the passage about ebikes?A. Their health benefits and fun values outweigh their cost.B. They did not catch public attention in the United States until the 1990s.C. They did not become popular until the emergence of improved batteries.D. Their widespread use is attributable to people's environmental awareness.47. What brought about the boost in ebike sales in Europe at the beginning of the century?A. Updated technology of bike manufacture.B. The falling prices of ebike batteries.C. Changed fashion in short-distance travel.D. The rising costs for making electric cars.48. What is the prospect of the bike industry according to Ryan Rzepecki?A. More will be invested in bike battery research.B. The sales of ebikes will increase.C. It will profit from ebike sharing.D. It will make a difference in people's daily lives.49. What prevented Chris Cocalis from developing ebikes sooner?A. Retailers' refusal to deal in ebikes.B. High profits from conventional bikes.C. Users' concern about risks of ebike riding.D. His focus on selling costly mountain bikes.50. What makes Chris Cocalis believe there is a greater opportunity for ebike sales?A. The further lowering of ebike prices.B. The public's concern for their health.C. The increasing interest in mountain climbing.D. The younger generation's pursuit of comfortable riding.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The terms "global warming" and "climate change" are used by many, seemingly interchangeably. But do they really mean the same thing?Scientists shaped the history of the terms while attempting to accurately describe how humans continue to alter the planet. Later, political strategists adopted the terms to influence public opinion.In 1975, geochemist Wallace Broecker introduced the term "climate change" in an article published by Science. In 1979,a National Academy of Sciences report used the term "global warming" to define increases in the Earth's average surface temperature, while "climate change" more broadly referred to the numerous effects of this increase,such as sea-level rise and ocean acidification(酸化).During the following decades,some industrialists and politicians launched a campaign to sow doubt in the minds of the American public about the ability of fossil-fuel use, deforestation and other human activities to influence the planet's climate.Word use played a critical role in developing that doubt. For example,the language and polls expert Frank Luntz's wrote a memo encouraging the use of "climate change" because the phrase sounded less scary than "global warming," reported the Guardian.However, Luntz's recommendation wasn't necessary. A Google Ngram Viewer chart showsthat by 1993 climate change was already more commonly used in books than global warming. By the end of the next decade both words were used more frequently,and climate change was used nearly twice as often as global warming.NASA used the term "climate change" because it more accurately reflects the wide range of changes to the planet caused by increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.The debate isn't new. A century ago,chemist Svante Arrhenius started one of the first debates over the potential for humans to influence the planet's climate. Arrhenius calculated the capability of carbon dioxide to trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, but other chemists disagreed. Some argued that humans weren't producing enough greenhouse gases, while others claimed the effects would be tiny. Now, of course, we know that whatever you call it, human behavior is warming the planet, with grave consequences ahead.51. Why did politicians use the two terms "global warming" and "climate change"?A. To sway public opinion of the impact of human activities on Earth.B. To more accurately describe the consequences of human activities.C. To win more popular votes in their campaign activities.D. To assure the public of the safety of existing industries.52. As used in a National Academy of Sciences report, the term "climate change" differs from "global warming" in that .A. it sounds less vague.B. it looks more scientific.C. it covers more phenomena.D. it is much closer to reality.53. What did industrialists of the late 20th century resort to in order to mislead Americans?A. Made-up survey results.B. Hired climate experts.C. False research findings.D. Deliberate choice of words.54. Why did NASA choose the term "climate change"?A. To obtain more funds.B. For greater precision.C. For political needs.D. To avoid debate.55. What is the author's final conclusion?A. Global warming is the more accurate term.B. Accuracy of terminology matters in science.C. Human activities have serious effects on Earth.D. Politics interferes with serious scientific debate.Part IV Translation(30 minutes)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

(三)图表作文图表:表格(Table), 圆形图(Pie chart), 曲线图(Line graph)和条形图(Bar graph)。
图表作文着重说明事实,常常是通过对图表中所反映的具体数据的说明、分析、比较,对某种事物或现象的事实或变化情况等加以说明,并提出结论或看法。
因此,图表作文常常采用议论文体的写作方法。
图表作文的写作步骤写图表作文时,要注意遵循以下步骤:1)认真分析图表的含义,弄清图表中所含的信息及不同信息间的关系;2)确定文章的主题思想,构思出文章的基本框架,筛选出能说明图表主题思想的典型数据;3)编列文章的提纲;4)根据文章的提纲,将各段的提纲内容扩展成段落,然后将各个段落组成文章,注意段与段之间的衔接与过渡;5)检查与修改。
图表作文的一种篇章结构写图表作文时,常采用三段式的谋篇方式。
文章的第一段往往分析图表中的数据变化反映什么问题或趋势,概述图表所揭示的信息。
第二段分析造成这一问题或趋势的原因。
第三段则展望未来的情况或提出解决问题的办法或建议。
这一结构可以简单地表述为:第一段:概述图表反映的主题思想第二段:分析产生的原因第三段:展望未来或提出方法或建议图表作文常用的句型(1)常用的开篇句型① According to the table/pie chart/line graph/bar graph, we can see that …根据该表/图,我们可知……② The table/graph revealsshows/indicates/illustrates/ represents/points out) that …该表/图表明……③As we can see from the table …As can be seen from the line/bar graph …As is shown (illustrated/indicated) in the piechart …如表/图所示,……(2) 描述增减变化常用的句型①Compared with … is still increased by …②The number of … grew/rose from … to …③In … the n umber remains the same/drops to…④There was a very slight (small/slow/gradual) rise/increase in 1990.⑤There was a very steady(marked/sharp/rapid/sudden/dramatic) drop (decrease/decline/fall/reduction) in 1998/ compared with that of last year).Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition of no less than 100 words on Income Sources between Chinese and American Students. Study the following table carefully and your composition must be based on the information given in the table. Write three paragraphs to:1. Describe the differences of the income sources between Chinese and American students.2. Analyze possible reasons for these differences.3. Predicate future tendency.influence of different social and family values, Chinese students have formed the habit of asking for money from their parents while American students have developed more sense of being financially independent. Second, most Chinese parents devote too much care to their children and they would rather save up to afford their children’s education rather tha n encourage them to take part-time jobs. In America, many parents pay more attention to developing the students’ ability of self-reliance, so they encourage their children to find part-time jobs to earn some money by themselves. Third, since America is more developed than China, it is relatively easy for students to find part-time jobs. In China, such opportunities are rather rare.I believe with the development of China, more and more Chinese students will realize and pay more attention to the necessity of self-dependence. In addition, more and more opportunities will be provided for them to take part-time jobs. Therefore, more students will go out of the ivory tower to broaden their knowledge and to become the master of their own lives.吸毒者年龄分布1. 上图所示为我国吸毒者年龄分布情况,请描述其变化2. 请说明发生这些变化的原因3. 这一变化对社会和个人的影响As can be seen from the bar graph, there have been sharp changes in the age distribution of drug addicts. To be concrete, the teenage addicts only made up 10 percent of all the drugsters (吸毒者) in 1982 while the ratio rose up to 65 percent in 2002.I think that there are probably three reasons for this. First, teenagers' curiosity about everything new has led some of them into this marsh. Second, many of the young addicts turned for the first time to drugsfor escape either from their failure in the National College Entrance Exams or from their parents' breakup. Above all, our education in the harmfulness of drugs has been far from adequate to build teenagers' sound resistance to drugs. Obviously the drastic change will exert great impact on individuals and the whole society. For one thing, drug-taking does great damage to the health of drug users. For another, some drug users commit robbery or even murder their parents and relatives to get money to buy drugs, which poses a great threat to the social security and the social stability. Therefore, it is high time we did something to put an end to this trend(四)应用文:书信类Topic: A letter to the President of the University about Improving the Sports Facilities on Campus假如你是李明,请你写一封信给校长,建议改善本校体育设施状况。

A Letter to the President of the UniversityApril 18, 2012 Dear Mr. President,I am writing this letter to you to express my concern about the sports facilities on campus. I have noticed that our university has very limited resources in terms of opportunities to participate in sports, especially given that the number of students on campus is increasing every year.(写信目的) As we both know, sports are very important for the sound growth of young people. If they have access to quality sports facilities, young people are able to choose a healthier lifestyle, to boost self-esteem and confidence, and to build a positive outlook and a sense of achievement. (运动的重要性)My proposal is to build a new sports area. It should be designed with soccer players, basketball players and ping-pong players in mind. It should have a different section for each activity and be available to students allyear round. I believe such facilities will meet our sporting needs.
