Quite a few terminally ill patients would often like their doctors toadminister lethal drugs to them to be relieved of suffering; there are also some of their families who would prefer that doctors withdraw any life-prolonging treatment since there is no hope of effecting an ultimate cure. This problem has lately boiled over into a fierce public debate in some European countries.2.Those who are opposed to ‘Euthanasia’ believe that it is no differentfrom murder and that it is unethical, while the pro-euthanasists contend that since the incurably ill consider their existence more of a torment and suffering, why not let them end their lives in a decent and humane way? We ought to respect the patients’ final decision.3.The fear that ‘mercy killing’ will be abused or used unnecessarily isnot groundless. But with effective measures rigorously taken by the government and the departments concerned, and under tightly controlled conditions in hospitals, this problem would most probably be resolved in the end.Unit ThreeText AVocabulary & StructureA. 1. backwards 2. a babe 3. chance 4. odds5. smites6. splash7. shinning8. hasty 1. The plunge we take is no different from the gamble we are takingagainst chance, against destiny, and in the course of it we may realize ourselves as an added bonus. And as a consequence we would be either bled white or finally make a career after painstaking efforts, or in rare cases, be continuously blessed with an unhindered advance, and we would take great pride in our obtained success.2.If a man makes gambling an obsession, he will not only lose hisproperty gained through years of toil, he will also lose his dignity and conscience. Therefore it is advisable that they beat a hasty retreat from such an indulgence and be away from the sea of troubles.3.On the bright side of the coin, we win in the struggle againstdestiny, and the odds are in our favor, then gambling is no longer a toxic drug, rather it is one against boredom and apathy, and may well preserve our good temper, patience and optimism, which will do us a world of good.Text BB. 1. depends 2. prides 3. volumes 4. numbers 5. blows 6. blueUnit 5 Text A Vocabulary & structureA. 1. bane 2. anecdotes 3. mundane 4. stimulus5. intriguing6.epidemic7. bout8. pathological Translation A. 笑有很多好处。

An outline has been given below.1)中国许多儿童优越的生活环境2)媒体对儿童造成的不利影响3)我们应该如何引导和教育儿童Leading Children in the Right DirectionSince the reform and opening up of China, our country has made great progress. Our world is now full of different colors and opportunities, especially for children. Children who have been regarded as flowers of our motherland are now taken better care of. They are really living in a very comfortable environment.This is good but it is sometimes bad for them since the golden age of innocence seems to have disappeared. The new generation of Chinese live in a culture saturated with Hollywood movies, rock music, and media which confronts them with sex and violence. As Children are naturally vulnerable both emotionally and spiritually, these things affect children most seriously.What shall we do so as to protect children from the media which seems to be seeping into every aspect of our lives. Obviously, there is no sense in trying to protect children from exposure to it because it is almost inevitable. We should teach them from an early age how to interpret what they are seeing. Teach them to dismiss sex and violence as tasteless trash. We can also use media at our disposal and show children the wonders of the world, inspire and stimulate them. It is our responsibility to lead them in the right direction.2.Directions: You are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled “Health, Wealthand happiness”. An outline has been given below.1)不同的人对健康、财富和幸福的不同看法2)健康、财富和幸福之间的相互关系3)保持乐观的心态十分重要Wealth, health and happinessAs to what are the elements of happiness, the answers can be varied greatly. Yet, it is universally acknowledged that the most essential constituent is health. Without a fit body and sound mentality, how can you take on genuine smiles everyday? Then what about health, can it bring you happiness? It may be not. It is true that if a person possesses large sums of money, he or she is allowed to buy a wide range of articles, such as books, clocks, houses, but by no means will he or she be able to exchange them for knowledge, time and home. Without this spiritual fulfillment, they would still find it hard to be truly immersed in happiness.Nowadays, health has become an increasingly concerned topic among people from all walks of life. Different people adopt different measures to obtain health. Usually those who spend generous amount of money on exotic gourmet food and beauty saloons are anything but happy, because those fat-laden food may build up on their waist and years may still wrinkle their face and they may easily regain their weight by the smallest cheese burg. These can be the best proof of the truth that money can not buy health. But happiness, on the contrary, may generate health to some extent. A happy mind can take you everywhere. So long as you maintain a jocund mood, health will no longer be far away.Wealth, health and happiness are the common aspirations of everyone, but only those wise enough can achieve them at the same time. So try to strike a balance.3.Directions: You are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled “Which Is Better,Working in a Multinational or as a Civil Servant?”.

研究生英语读写佳境Test WritingTest One p.3021.Leading Children in the Right Direction范文1:Children in China are now leading a pretty good life. They have quite good social environment as well as the care from their parents. Compared to the past generations, children are enjoying high lever of civilizations of human beings.Nowadays children can learn a lot in the modern information world, through which books, teachers, Internet make a huge contribution to their growing. They can acquire information from advanced technology to the latest fashion styles. Therefore, those tools may also have bad effects on students. Most children are fond of televisions very much, for the simple reason that they find it funny. However, not all the media are good for children. Some teenagers are too young to tell good from bad. Take advertisements for example, some of which contain valences, obesity, horrible and so on. These things are extremely harmful to children’s life.So the problem comes to what we should do to guide and educate our children correctly. First of all, parents should help their children to set up a short and long term career ideals. They should educate them in a right way, which they teach them to build up active attitudes towards life, and correct values of the future life. Our society should care children, giving more attention to them.范文:2In China, both of the parents have their jobs. With the development of economy, people tend to pursue high quality living conditions. Most of the parents try their best to offer their children comfortable circumstances, but they seldom have time to stay with their children. In my point of view, no matter how busy they are, they should make the best use of their time to stay with their children.First, the love between children and adults will be improved by spending more time on their children. Children could feel parents' affection through the genial conversation and sharing their pleasure with them. Every time when parents take them to amusement park, help them to prepare their birthday parties, applaud for them when they are competing in the sports meeting, the time they spend with children will become treasure in their memories.Second, children need the direction from their parents. There are some wrong behaviors in our society such as dishonesty, corruption, violence and eroticism and so on. Children have weak resistance in defending this detrimental influence. In this case, parents' instructions seem to be very important to children's growth. Parents should sit down and talk with them about what they should do and should not do. In addition, if parents often spend time in staying with their children, adults' good behaviors will greatly influence their children.Here I do not deny that there are some disadvantages in spending too much time on children. Some parents restrict their children, and give them little freedom to develop their interests. Therefore, I emphasize that parents should educate and instruct their children appropriately in their spare time apart from their busy works.I agree that it is good to educate children according to their own traits, for example, some children who have special talent, lead a live that is so different from ordinary people, partly because of the individualized teaching methods. At the same time, we also know there are some abnormal persons, who need to be educated specially and with more efforts, compared to others. Just take the famous writer Helen Keller for example, it is the individualized education that help the little blind girl to gain success.范文3:From very young, we have always hoped to be educated specially, and do not like to be treated the same as others. We also admire successful people, believing they must have received education different from ordinary people and they must be lucky enough to own enlightened parents and teachers. Sometimes we also disliked thegeneral patterns of education we received in the school.However, most of us are ordinary people. For us, the purpose of education is more than just paying attention to individual needs and interests. My opinions are as follows.First of all, for ordinary ones, talent ones and abnormal persons, we are people living in a certain society and it is important for us to learn how to survive harmoniously with others. Every individual should know how to obey laws, follow certain moral standards, accept some models of thoughts, and acquire communication skills. It is the education which helps us to gain these above.Second, education aims to help one to develop fully and properly.This should be done firstly according to his/her own traits and abilities. We should show the children to a right way but not only one definite way. If you wonder what on earth the way is, I think the answer will have close relationship with our social standards first, then comes the person’s own individual needs and interests.We must consider the two factors above when educating, but sill should integrate lots of other factors, such as the trend of the history, the fund supporting from families, school and even our government. Also, we should decide whether the children’s needs which are reasonable and practical.In sum, education should pay attention however not too much to the individual needs and interests of each student. The truly effective way is to integrate many different aspect of factors.2. Health ,Wealth and Happiness范文:1Happiness means different things to different people. For example, some students believe that if they have much money or a large number of possessions, they will be happy. They believe that they will be able to do anything they want to if they have money. Some students think that they should be in good health, and enjoy whatever they like. Many students wish to have much wealth from their parents. In this way they don’t have to work hard, and they can have everything. I don’t agree with the above points. We can’t buy many important things with money, such as health, happiness and knowledge. I value knowledge, which makes me happy, for I can do much for mankind with knowledge. Although different people value happiness differently, my “wealth” of happiness is in my study.范文:2Well, nowadays we are living in a more materialistic society and consumer goods are desirable everywhere. Wealth is so great an appeal to people that they work hard to earn money, as it seem to make everything possible. I once heard of some old sayings about money such as "Money talks" and "No money, No honey". These proverbs gave me deep impressions when I was a little girl. At least it made me know about the importance of money.With time passing by , I begin to know money is not the only thing that matters in life. But in reality without money you cannot live a happy life, either. So for me "enough money" means I can afford the cost of my living and I can have extra money to support my hobbies.范文:3It is often related that the relationship between health, wealth and happiness. It is difficult to give a standard answer, for different people may have different opinions about it. But they do have some relate to each other. Some people consider health originally as wealth, which is the biggest poverty of human beings. As a result, they think they are leading a happy life.While some people who own a large number of money think they have great happiness, for the simple reason that they can buy what they want to buy. They are happy just because they are rich.And those who are neither rich nor healthy can also have happiness. On the other hand, healthy people that have great poverty may feel unhappy. It is really difficult to tell what makes the happiness.As far as I am concerned, happiness is an attitude towards life. It mostly depends on your mood whether you arerich or not, healthy or not. So I guess to say if people can keep an active attitude towards life, they will be much happier.3.Working in a Multinational Company or as a Civil Servant?范文1:Today, seeking a job in a large joint venture company is still one of the best choices for many university graduates. And yet, there is also a growing trend for graduating students to prepare for civil servant recruitment examinations to work for the government office.To be a white-collar in a multinational company or to be a civil servant, each has advantages and disadvantages of its own.First, a job with the former means high pay but longer working hours. They have to weigh the loneliness of being away from home against the opportunity to make new friends.Second, one might be able to develop his or her abilities rapidly and fully in a high competitive environment, which of course also makes his or her jobs an extremely tiring and stressful one. However, in my hometown, sheltered by family influence and surrounded by good friends, one might never meet the challenge of developing his or her unknown potential.Third, promotion in a multinational company is based largely on one’s merits and contributions; therefore one does not have to worry too much about strained relations, though it is by no means easy to get promoted in such companies.Despite all the advantages of being a white-collar, I have a strong desire to be a civil servant.For one thing, it is a stable job and has little risk in work and life in general.For another, the pay rises for civil servant has shown that working for the government is getting very desirable. Most important of all, I enjoy working for people, for the general publ ic. So instead of being my mother’s baby all my life, I’ll make parents feel proud of me.范文2:Nowadays people have a lot of choices to choose a job. It is often argued that whether to working in a multinational or as a civil servant.Working in a multinational company is getting popular. A great number of people are often willing to work as white collar workers, for they are often wear white collars and tie to go to work. The companies are usually well known for their great benefits, as well as the high salary. However, working in a multinational company is quite challenging, although people may have more opportunities, yet they will undertake great responsibilities and risks. Sometimes they will be pretty busy with their untold work with furious competitionsWhile working as a civil servant seems to be attractive to many people. The most import ant about it is the job’s stability. People do not have to woke busily, but they can get a good salary, too. To some extent, it is comfortable. At the same time, people can be more free to do what they want to do. The shortcoming of this kind of job is that perhaps people will feel tired of the dull routine of everyday life. It has little challenges to them, either. No doubt it is not good enough for those who are ambitious.In my opinion, my ideal job is to choose to work in a multinational company. I guess I want to be challenged, and try my best to build up a bright future.Test Two P.3171. Shopping over the Internet or in Stores范文1:Have you experienced shopping by clicking the mouse without going outdoors? With the development of the Internet and the increase of net citizens, a new style of shopping is prevailing. More and more corporations provide shopping service over the Internet. The electronic commerce is moving toward prosperity.Some people prefer online shopping because of its convenience. Time and labor can be saved to do something else. And more discount merchandise can be easily found and bought over the Internet. But some people dislike it when they concern the quality of goods, the safety of payment and the after-sale service. Actually they fear being cheated. Purchasing goods in stores, they could check what they buy on the spot. And the invoice could ensure the after service.I like both of them. I have been buying books on Bertelsmann website for many years. As one of its members, I enjoy its regular promotions and free delivery. I pay for my orders in cash or by credit card through the Internet banking. But when it comes to goods such as costume, cosmetics and home appliances, I'd like to purchase them in stores. They are more expensive than books. And quality and safety should be concerned firstly. You see, the style of shopping depends on what you are to buy.范文2:At present, in an era of high-speed development of computer technology, shopping online becomes increasingly easy and popular with consumers.People who would like to shop online have their own reasons. Firstly, purchasing through a click proves to be convenient alternative to walking or driving to the stores. Secondly, prices are dropping and more chances offer people varieties of goods. However, some people prefer shopping in stores, especially large department stores, in which they could see and touch things with sense of reality and credibility. For them, walking along stacks of goods is a time of relaxation. With the development of our society, the general public seems to have worries about the “web criminal”.I favor shopping in department stores over online. I am not fully trust in the quality of these products sold over the Internet, unless an improved management mechanism can be established. Shopping in stores, also, is irreplaceable that not everything can be bought from the web, such as luxury goods.2.On Overseas Study范文1:Recent years, more and more Chinese people have chosen to study abroad. There are merits and demerits to this tendency.With the deepening of reform and opening-up of our country, it’s easier for us to get access to foreign schools. We can grasp advan ced technologies and their language ability can be improved as well. What’s more, with the rapid development of China, more and more overseas learners will come back, using their abundant knowledge to serve for our motherland. However, there are still many people who favor studying at home. They argue that, for one thing, studying abroad is too expensive and therefore doesn’t pay off. For another, there are no language and cultural barriers if they study at home.In my opinion, studying abroad is good for us to broaden our horizons, learn how to adapt the society better, which helps us lay a perfect foundation for their future development.范文2:In recent years, studying abroad has flourished. Thousands of scholars and students have gone to foreign countries to study. Many people are sparing no effort in applying for going abroad.Attending schools abroad has many advantages. In the first place, students who have studied abroad can act as mediators between peoples of different cultures so as to promote international understanding. Secondly, we can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from the foreign countries. Thirdly, we can enjoy the contact with new and different cultures so as to increase the awareness of our own culture. Fourthly, we can learn a foreign language more quickly.However, studying abroad may have disadvantages such as language barrier in the first few months or financial difficulties before getting a scholarship. In spite of these, the advantages greatly outweigh the disadvantages. It is advisable to attend schools abroadDifferent people have various ambitions. Some want to be engineers or doctors in the future. Some want to be scientists or businessmen. Still some wish to be teachers or lawyers when they grow up in the days to come. Unlike other people, I prefer to be a farmer. However, it is not easy to be a farmer for I will be looked upon by others. Anyway, what I am trying to do is to make great contributions to agriculture. It is well known that farming is the basic of the country. Above all, farming is not only a challenge but also a good opportunity for the young. We can also make a big profit by growing vegetables and food in a scientific way. Besides we can apply what we have learned in school to farming. Thus our countryside will become more and more prosperous.I believe that any man with knowledge can do whatever they can so long as this job can meet his or her interest. All the working position can provide him with a good chance to become a talent.3.The Art of Establishing Harmonious Relationship between People范文1:As we all know, since ancient times, people can’t live without each other. To make a better atmosphere in the society, it is necessary for us to get on well with each other.There are many ways of establishing harmonious relationship between people. A smile can always shorten the distance from others. For example, a smile can fight the unhappy situation of friends. I always believe it’s the most beautiful language in the world. What’s more, with the development of commodity, more trust should be built between people. As a result, a harmonious society will be established with trust and happiness.From my point if view, there should be more opportunities for people to communicate, such as a conversation in a family, a small meeting among friend……Thus making a wonderful world for us to understand each other.范文2:In daily life, people should not be self-centered, when they are together with other people, they’d better listen to others more not only act according to themselves’ opinion. Unconscious of an eq ual and open-hearted attitude toward others, people will not develop a cooperative mind in a group work. In present life , international communication is more and more popular, the spirit of cooperation is also important for international communication.Communication is very important for people and the society. Whenever people at work or play with friends they have to communicate with the others. Some people are very good at communicating with the others, but some people are not. In Communication, language is very important for people to have a harmonious relationship with each other. Usually ,a word, a sentence will make a person happy in a proper manner. Whoever knows how to communicate with people , it will be much easier to make friends. When someone does not know how to communicate with people, it is difficult to make friends. Sometimes, people will find it is hard to communicate with the foreigner. It is because they don't understand how to communicate with the foreigners. Communication is also a good way to improve people’s ability and their experience to communicate with each other. In our society, a harmonious relationship between people is very important for the development of career. It seems to be difficult to have harmonious relationship with people, but if everyone can treat others with kind and friendly attitude, our society will be a harmonious society. Sometimes, people living near don’t know each other. It reflects interpersonal relationships in our society today. In present life, many people live in apartments, they close their doors and seldom go out when they get home from outside. When they feel lonely, they will watch TV in their spare time. They have little communication with their neighbors, and become more and more indifferent. That is why more and more people feel lonely in our society and people becomes indifferent. So a harmonious interpersonal relationship is so important. People live closely should have communication more.Although interpersonal relationship seems complicated, it will be easy if people have an equal and open-hearted attitude toward other people. Everyone plays a role in our society, their social status is different, their dignity should be respected. People all have dignity, he or she should be confident in interpersonal communication. If people do not look down upon others, he or she will surely be respected by other people, and accepted by our society. Therefore, in interpersonal communication, confidence and respect are equally important. People should pay attent ion to what others want, and put themselves in other’s shoes in interpersonal communication. Today, competition is everywhere in our society. People will have more chance if they obey the rules in the pursuit of success. The attitude is not only necessary for people’s success, but also important for the establishment of harmonious society. It is useful for everyone to know how to get along with other people and have harmonious interpersonal relationship in our society. To have harmonious interpersonal relationship, including self-confidence, respect other people and care about other people. Our society will be a harmonious community.Test Three P.3371. My ideal job范文1:With the development of the economy and the education, more and more people are high educated, and that directly leads to the fierce competition in finding a job. So nowadays it is more and more difficult to find a job, especially a job that you like to do.For me, if it is possible, I think my ideal job is to be a teacher.First of all, a teacher’s job is very important because a teacher provides students with knowledge. And meanwhile I can also learn a lot from my students. It’s a happy thing to share knowledge with others. Second, to be a teacher may enable me to feel always young to be with young people all the time. That will be a great pleasure. The job will allow me a lot of freedom to choose my way of teaching. I like to make students both learned and creative. I will be satisfied with the progress my students make everyday, and I’ll be proud of them. In addition, I can develop my hobbies in my spare time. And I really enjoy the summer vacation and winter vacation during which I will go sightseeing.So if I can have a chance to be a teacher, I will try my best to be a good teacher.范文2:Every person has his own ideal job. Some people wish to be doctors, while others want to be teachers and so on. As far as I am concerned, I have been dreaming of being a guide for a long time. First, my major is the manage of tourism, so I want to get a job about tourism. Secondly, good guides are knowledgeable and amiable, meanwhile, they have wide vision. Finally, guide can constantly expand his knowledge and understand lots of customs about different cultures and countries.To achieve my dream of being a qualified guide, I have to make sufficient preparations. Fro one thing, I must learn my specialty well and travel at my spare time, just as the saying goes: “Seeing is believing.” For another, I should enhance my eloquence so that I can express the a llusion about the view clearly. What’s more important ,I should control my mood freely and treat every traveler kindly.Being a good guide is difficult, but I believe if I endeavor to do this things in all hands. I’ll be successful sooner or later.2. Travel Broadens the Minds范文1:Nowadays, travel has become a popular activity. More and more people have enough money to travel abroad or at home. As a matter of fact, travel has become part of our life. This situation is encouraging, for it not onlybroadens people's minds to the extend which may not be reached previously, but also relaxes the m physically, which help people work out mental problems more actively.One of my best friends is so exclusively engaged in his works that he did not even know what was happening out of hi s own discipline. What’s worse, his progress was nearly little. After accepting my advice, he travelled a few cities and towns. The experience gave him a good opportunity of learning. Today, he gets a bumper harvest in his knowledge——the longstanding dream of entering graduate school comes true.In conclusion, travel opens our mind because it enables us to know about the history and culture of a nation. In a way, going on travels is like reading books..范文:2Travel has many benefits to offer. It enriches our experiences and helps us know more about the world, aside from relaxing ourselves both physically and psychologically.To begin with, travel is one of the best ways to enrich our experiences. If we visit tourist attractions and historical or cultural relics at different places of our country or foreign lands, we will meet different people, enjoy exotic natural sceneries, have a taste of varied cultures and, in the long run, enrich our knowledge. Moreover, travel also helps to enlighten and broaden our minds, since it provides us with new perspectives through what we learn from other cultures. For example, it helps to reduce cultural prejudice after we have got a better understanding of civilizations that vary sharply from one another.Travel is gaining increasing popularity among us. We travel to relax ourselves, enrich our experiences and broaden our minds.范文:3Nowadays, travel has become a popular activity. Many people are rich enough to afford a travel at home or abroad. As a matter of fact, travel has become part of our life. The increasing popularity of travel is, among others, due to the following reason: travel broadens our minds to an extent which may not be reached previously.For example, if we travel to Africa, we will find a culture totally different from that of ours, and people who think and live in a way unimaginable for us before we set foot on the continent. And we will marvel at the natural wonders, historic miracles and cultural brilliances we find there. All these experiences help to broaden our minds. As a result, our misunderstanding about the continent, if any, will be weeded out, our perspective of seeing the world possibly changed, our mode of thinking altered and, above all, our mind broadened.Reading makes an erudite man; practicing a capable man; and traveling a broad-minded man.范文:4Nowadays travel has become part of our life, it is so exciting to visiting different places. And besides beautiful scenery we can see from traveling, I think travel broadens our minds.Traveling is a good way to meet and make friends with people of different colors and races. We can taste and buy specialties of different places. In this way, we can get to know the customs, living habits and lifestyles of local people.Traveling is also one of the best means for learning. You may have read or heard about something but you can never get an accurate picture of it until you see it for yourself. Seeing is believing. Furthermore, if you are a careful observer, you can learn much during your travel about the geography, biology and history of the places you visit. No matter how well educated you are, there is always a lot for you to learn through traveling. The knowledge acquired from travel, as you will have found later in your life, is no less valuable than that from any influential reference book.So travel broadens our minds, we can learn much from traveling.3. What Makes Life Worthwhile范文1:What makes life worthwhile? Different people may have different answers to this question. Some people may think that money and powe r is the most important for one’s life. Others may regard devotion and success as essential for their life. As for as I’m concerned I agree with the latter instead of the former.There goes an old saying: no pains, no gains. In our country as well as all over the world, there are many scientists who spent much of time and energy doing research work. Though they do not necessarily earn much money, they are very happy when they succeed, because they have done something meaningful and have contributed, in a degree, to human beings.Therefore, we may conclude that money or the like is useful, while devotion and contribution is indispensable for our life. Only when we have worked hard and have done something beneficial to our career and to man-kind, can we feel our life really worthwhile.范文2:What makes life worthwhile? Different people may have different answers to this question. Some people may think that money and power is the most important for one’s life. Others may regard devotion and success as essential part of their lifes. As far as I’m concerned I agree with the latter instead of the former.There goes an proverb” No pains, no gains”, means that you have to make great efforts if you want to achieve some success. In our country as well as all over the world, there are many scientists who spend much of their time and energy doing research work. Though they don’t necessarily earn much money, yet they are very happy when they succeed, because they have done something meaningful and have contributed, in a degree, to human beings.I beli eve, one’s value lies in the value of serving the people, the country and the whole society. People who make contributions, no matter big or small, should be recognized and respected. The point is what you can do, but not how people look on you. It is how much you contribute, not how much you gain. I think this is the true meaning of life that everyone of us should have.4. Young people in China today are more self-centered and unsympathetic than were previous generations范文:Love, and Then Be LovedIn recent years, more and more teachers complain that their students are indifferent to others. Some even worry that the young generation might ruin the future of China. To be sure, many of our young people cannot see eye to eye with this view. However, as a university student, I myself would like to content that we young people today are in general more self-centered and unsympathetic than our previous generations.To start with, most, if not all, young people choose to attend exclusively to their own needs. In their eyes, It is all too natural to seek satisfaction from what they do, even if it may mean inconvenience to others. Take my dormitory for example. It is a common scene here that a roommate cheerfully talks to his girlfriend on the phone at midnight when others are struggling for a sound sleep. One may complain now and then, but to no avail. In fact, the others, to the exclusion of me, live their dormitory life much in the same way. When I take a nap at noon, they often play cards. They have no regard for others. Life is a joy to them, yet they often enjoy it to the neglect of others’ feelings. In sharp contrast, our caring parents always pay heed to our needs and those of others. Whenever my father comes back home late in the night, he tiptoes In for fear that he might awake me. Moreover, our young people tend to be insensitive to others’ difficulty.When a classmate falls ill, few people offer to help, but regard it as none of their business. Some students in my class come from poor families. Yet, they are active mobile phone users, who may spend twice as much as what their parents earn from arduous。

B. 1. After climbing up to the top of the mountain and looking afar from the vantage point, I saw laid outbefore me a spectacular view, which was one of the most awe-inspiring view I have ever beheld; but equally exhilarating was the fact that some distance away a hawk was soaring high, and then, for an instant, it suddenly plummeted down into the canyon.2. My fondest memory is of spending a few days with a family in a mountain village, dinnering with themand enjoying various dishes endemic to the region. It is of mellow sweetness to have watched them, decked out in their traditional garb, moving around the house. Of course, a stay there for some more days involves some degree of ‘roughing-it’.Writing 1…Paragraph 1introduces the trip by describing the author’s initial venture into the park. Paragraph 2 comments on the absence of tourists in the area through which the tour was passing. Paragraph 3 provides a few reasons why there were so few tourists, including the remoteness of the area and the effect involved in getting there. Paragraph 4discusses the approach used by the eco-tour company and their focus on the culture, people, and customs. Paragraph 5 describes the hospitality of the traveler’ hosts, the Pemon Indians, and some of the activities in which they participated. Paragraph 6reflects on the education and understanding that the tourists gained about the area and the culture. Paragraph 7 discusses the system of spirituality and beliefs of the Pemon tribe and the rare ‘energy meridians’ of the area. Paragraph 8 concludes by stating that, while the trip was exciting for those who took it, the eco-tour style of traveling may not be for everyone.Text AComprehension1. C2. C3. D4. C5. A6.

Quite a few terminally ill patients would often like their doctors to administer lethal drugs to them to berelieved of suffering; there are also some of their families who would prefer that doctors withdraw any life-prolonging treatment since there is no hope of effecting an ultimate cure. This problem has lately boiled over into a fierce public debate in some European countries.2.Those who are opposed to ‘Euthanasia’believe that it is no different from murder and that it is unethical,while the pro-euthanasists contend that since the incurably ill consider their existence more of a torment and suffering, why not let them end their lives in a decent and humane way? We ought to respect the patients’final decision.3.The fear that ‘mercy killing’will be abused or used unnecessarily is not groundless. But with effectivemeasures rigorously taken by the government and the departments concerned, and under tightly controlled conditions in hospitals, this problem would most probably be resolved in the end.Unit ThreeText AVocabulary & StructureA. 1. backwards 2. a babe 3. chance 4. odds5. smites6. splash7. shinning8. hastyB. 1.

Therefore it is advisable that they beat a hasty retreat from such an indulgence and be away from the sea of troubles.3.On the bright side of the coin, we win in the struggle against destiny, and the odds are in our favor, thengambling is no longer a toxic drug, rather it is one against boredom and apathy, and may well preserve our good temper, patience and optimism, which will do us a world of good.Text BB. 1. depends 2. prides 3. volumes 4. numbers 5. blows 6. blueUnit 4 Text A Vocabulary & StructureA. 1. involved 2. touch 3.. spoil 4. boost 5. get on6. get in Dutch7. flinging mud at8. heart-heart9. profusion 10. bit her tongue offTranslationA.首先,教师应性情开朗,具有魅力。

(40 points) Text 1Anger over AIs role in exacerbating inequality could endanger the technologys future. In her new bookCogs and Monsters:What Economics Is, and What It Should Be, Diane Coyle, an economist at CambridgeUnivcrsity, argues that the digital economy requires new ways of thinking about progress. "Whatever wemean by the economy growing, by things getting better, the gains will have to be more evenly shared than inthe recent past, "she writes. "An economy of tech millionaires or billionaires and gig workers, withmiddle-income jobs undercut by automation, will not be politically sustainable. "Improving living standards and increasing prosperity for more people will require greater use of digitaltechnologies to boost productivity in various sectors, including health care and construction, says Coyle. Butpeople cant be expected to embrace the changes if theyre not seeing the benefits—if theyre just seeinggood jobs being destroyed.In a recent interview with MIT Technology Review, Coyle said she fears that techs inequality problemcould be a roadblock to deploying AI. "Were talking about disruption, "she says. "These are transformativetechnologies that change the ways we spend our time every day, that change business models that s ucceed. ”To make such tremendous changes, "she adds, you need social buy-in.Instead, says Coyle, resentment is simmering among many as the benefits are perceived to go to elites ina handful of prosperous cities.According to the Brookings Institution, a short list of eight American cities that included San Francisco, San Jose, Boston, and Seattle had roughly 38%of all tech jobs by 2019. New AI technologies areparticularly concentrated:Brookingss Mark Muro and Sifan Liu estimate that just 15 cities account fortwo-thirds of the AI assets and capabilities in the United States(San Francisco and San Jose alone accountfor about one-quarter).The dominance of a few cities in the invention and commercialization of AI means that geographicaldisparities in wealth will continue to soar. Not only will this foster political and social unrest, but it could, asCoyle suggests, hold backthe sorts of AI technologies needed for regional economies to grow.Part of the solution could lie in somehow loosening the stranglehold that Big Tech has on defining theAI agenda. That will likely take increased federal funding for research independent of the tech giants. Muroand others have suggested hefty federal funding to help create US regional innovation centers, for example.A more immediate response is to broaden our digital imaginations to conceive of AI technologies thatdont simply replace jobs but expand opportunities in the sectors that different parts of the country care mostabout, like health care, education, and manufacturing.21. Coyle argues that economie growth should ____________A. give rise to innovationsB. diversity career choicesC. benefit people equallyD. be promoted forcedly22. In Paragraph 2, digital technologies should be used to ____________.A. bring about instant prosperityB. reduce peoples workloadC. raisc ovcrall work cfficicncyD. enhance cross-sector cooperation23. What does Coyle fear about transformative technologics?A. They may affect work-life balance.B. They may be impractical to deploy.C. They may incur huge expenditure.D. They may unwelcome to public.24. Several cities are mentioned to ____________A. the uneven distribution of Al technology in USB. disappointing prospect of jobs in USC. fast progress of US regional economicsD. increasing significance of US AI assets25. With regard to concern, the author suggest ____________.A. raising funds to start new AI projectsB. encouraging collaboration in AI researchC. guarding against side effectsD. redefine the role ofAIText 2The UK is facing a future construction crisis because of a failure to plant trees to produce wood, Conforhas warned. The forestry and wood trade body has called for urgent action to reduce the countrys relianceon timber imports and provide a stable supply of wood for future generations. Currently only 20 percent ofthe UKs wood requirement is home-grown while it remains the sccond-largest net importer of timber in theworld.Coming at a time of fresh incentives from the UK government for landownersto grow more trees, thetrade body says these dont go far enough and fail to promote the benefits of planting them to boost timbersupplies. “Not only are we facing a carbon crisis now, but we will also be facing a future construction crisisbecause of failure to plant trees to produce wood. "said Stuart Goodall, chief executive of Confor. "Fordecades we have not taken responsibility for investing in our domestic wood supply, leaving us exposed tofluctuating prices and fighting for future supplies of wood as global demand rises and our own supplies fall. "The UK has ideal conditions for growing wood to build low-carbon homes and is a global leader incertifying that its forests are sustainably managed, Confor says. While around three quarters of Scottishhomes are built from Scottish timber, the use of home-grown wood in England is only around 25 percent.While productive tree planting can deliver real financial benefits to rural economies and contribute to theUKs net-zero strategy, the focus of government support continues to be on food production and therewinding and planting of native woodland solely for biodiversity. Goodall add:“While food productionand biodiversity are clearly of critical importance, we need our land to also provide secure supplies of woodfor construction, manufacturing and contribute to net zero.“While the UK govemment has stated its ambition for more tree planting, there has been little action onthe ground. "Confor is now calling for much greater impetus bchind those aspirations to ensure we haveenough wood to meetincreasing demand. "26. It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that UK need to ____________.A. increase domestic wood supplyB. reduce demand for timberC. lower wood production costsD. lift control on timber imports27. According to Confor, UK government fresh incentives ____________.A. can hardly address construction crisisB. are believed to come at wrong timeC. seem to be misleadingD. too costly to put into practice28. The UK exposure to fuctuating wood prices is the result of ____________.A. governments inaction on timber importB. inadequate investment for woodC. petition among traders at homeD. wood producersmotive to maximize profits29. Which of following causes the shortage of wood supply?A. excessive timber consumption in constructionB. unfavorable conditions in UKC. outdated technology for wood productionD. farmersunwillingness to plan trees30. What does Goodall think US government should do?A. Subsidize the buildingB. Pay attention to rural economyC. Provide support for tree plantingD. Give priority to pursue net-zero strategyText 3One big challenge in keeping unsafe aging drivers off the road is convincing them that it is time to tumover the key. It is a complete life-changer when someone stops-or is forced to stop -driving, said formerrisk manager Anne M. Menke.The American Medical Association advises physicians that in situation where clear evidence ofsubstantial driving impairment implies a strong threat to patient and public safety, and where the physiciansadvice to discontinue driving privileges is ignored, it is desirable and ethical to notify the Department ofMotor Vehicles, Menke wrote. "Some states require physicians to report, others allow but do not mandatereports, while a few consider a report breach of confidentiality. There could be liability and penalties if aphysician does not act in accordance with state laws on reporting and confidentiality "she counseled.Part of the problem in keeping older drivers safe is that the difficulties are addressed piccemeal bydifferent professions with different focuses, includinggerontologists, highway administration officials, automotive engineers and others, said gerontologist Elizabeth Dugan. "Theres not a National Institute ofOlder Driver Studies, "she said. "We need better evidence on what makes drivers unsafe"and what can help, said DuganOne thing that does seem to work is requiring drivers to report in person for license renewal. Mandatoryin-person renewal was associated with a 31 percent reduction in fatal crashes involving drivers 85 or older, according to one study. Passing vision tests also produced a similar decline in fatal crashes for those drivers, although there appeared to be no benefit from combining the two.Many old drivers dont see eye doctors or cant afford to. Primary care providers have their hands fulland may not be able to follow through with patients who have trouble driving because they cant turn theirheads or remember where they are going—or have gotten shorter and havent changed their seat settingssufficiently to reach car pedals easily,As long as there are other cars on the roads, self-driving cars wont solve the problems of crashes, saidDugan. Avoiding dangers posed by all those human drivers would require to many algorithms, she said. Butwe need to do more to improve safety, said Dugan. "If were going to have 100-year lives, we need cars thata 90-year-old can drive comfortably. "31. Aecording to Paragraphl, keeping unsafe aging drivers off the road ____________.A. is a ncw safety measureB. has become a disputed issueC. can be a tough task to completeD. will be beneficial to their health32. The American medical associations advice ____________.A. has won support from driversB. is generally considered unrealisticC. is wide dismissed as unnecessaryD. has met with different responses33. According to Dugan, efforts to keep older drivers safe.A. have brought about big changesB. necd to be well coordinatedChave gained public concermD. call for relevant legal support34. Some older drivers have trouble driving because they tend to ____________.A. stick with bad driving habitsB. have a weakened memoryC. suffer from chronic painsD. neglect car maintenance35. Dugan thinks that the solution to the problems of crashes may lie in ____________A. npgrading self-driving vehicleB. developing senior-friendly carsC. renovating transport facilitiesD. adjusting the age limit for driversSection III Translation36.

经过工艺加工的各种宝石和金属是无法跟这个大自然的珍宝媲美的。

大自然按照鸟类的大小把它列为最小号,真是“最小的绝妙珍品”。

这种小蜂鸟是大自然的杰作;大自然把其他鸟类只能分有其中一部分的种种天赋全部慷慨地给了它。

这个小宠儿具有轻盈、敏捷、灵活、优雅以及羽毛绚丽等一切妙处。

那翠绿的、艳红的、嫩黄色的羽毛闪闪发光。

蜂鸟从不让它的羽毛沾染尘土,它生活在天空中,一刻也不碰到草皮。

它总是在空中飞翔,从花丛飞向花丛;它像花一样鲜艳,又像花一样艳丽。

B. 1. After climbing up to the top of the mountain and looking afar from the vantage point, I saw laid out before me aspectacular view, which was one of the most awe-inspiring view I have ever beheld; but equally exhilarating was the fact that some distance away a hawk was soaring high, and then, for an instant, it suddenly plummeted down into the canyon.2. My fondest memory is of spending a few days with a family in a mountain village, dinnering with them and enjoyingvarious dishes endemic to the region. It is of mellow sweetness to have watched them, decked out in their traditional garb, moving around the house. Of course, a stay there for some more days involves some degree of ‘roughing-it’.Writing 1… Paragraph 1introduces the trip by describing the author’s initial venture into the park. Paragraph 2 comments on the absence of tourists in the area through which the tour was passing. Paragraph 3 provides a few reasons why there were so few tourists, including the remoteness of the area and the effect involved in getting there. Paragraph 4 discusses the approach used by the eco-tour company and their focus on the culture, people, and customs. Paragraph 5 describes the hospitality of the traveler’ hosts, the Pemon Indians, and some of the activities in which they participated. Paragraph 6 reflects on the education and understanding that the tourists gained about the area and the culture. Paragraph 7 discusses the system of spirituality and beliefs of the Pemon tribe and the rare ‘energy meridians’ of the area. Paragraph 8 concludes by stating that, while the trip was exciting for those who took it, the eco-tour style of traveling may not be for everyone.Unit TwoText AComprehension1. C2. C3. D4. C5. A6.

Quite a few terminally ill patients would often like their doctors to administer lethal drugs to them to be relieved of suffering;there are also some of their families who would prefer that doctors withdraw any life-prolonging treatment since there is no hope of effecting an ultimate cure. This problem has lately boiled over into a fierce public debate in some European countries.2.Those who are opposed to ‘Euthanasia’ believe that it is no different f rom murder and that it is unethical, while thepro-euthanasists contend that since the incurably ill consider their existence more of a torment and suffering, why not let them end their lives in a decent and humane way? We ought to respect the patients’ fi nal decision.3.The fear that ‘mercy killing’ will be abused or used unnecessarily is not groundless. But with effective measures rigorouslytaken by the government and the departments concerned, and under tightly controlled conditions in hospitals, this problem would most probably be resolved in the end.Unit ThreeText AVocabulary & StructureA. 1. backwards 2. a babe 3. chance 4. odds5. smites6. splash7. shinning8. hastyB. 1.

The plunge we take is no different from the gamble we are taking against chance, against destiny, and in the course of it wemay realize ourselves as an added bonus. And as a consequence we would be either bled white or finally make a career after painstaking efforts, or in rare cases, be continuously blessed with an unhindered advance, and we would take great pride in our obtained success.2.If a man makes gambling an obsession, he will not only lose his property gained through years of toil, he will also lose hisdignity and conscience. Therefore it is advisable that they beat a hasty retreat from such an indulgence and be away from the sea of troubles.3.On the bright side of the coin, we win in the struggle against destiny, and the odds are in our favor, then gambling is nolonger a toxic drug, rather it is one against boredom and apathy, and may well preserve our good temper, patience and optimism, which will do us a world of good.Text BB. 1. depends 2. prides 3. volumes 4. numbers 5. blows 6. blueUnit 4 Text A Vocabulary & StructureA. 1. involved 2. touch 3.. spoil 4. boost 5. get on6. get in Dutch7. flinging mud at8. heart-heart9. profusion 10. bit her tongue offTranslationA.首先,教师应性情开朗,具有魅力。

Unit 21.On the average of six times a day,a doctor in Holland practices“active”euthanasia:intentionally administering a lethal drug to a terminally ill patient who has asked to be relieved of suffering. Twenty times a day, life-prolonging treatment is withheld or withdrawn when there is no hope that it can effect an ultimate cure.荷兰的医生平均每天6次实施“主动”安乐死:即有意提供给要求从痛苦中得以解脱的晚期病人致命药物。

当彻底治愈病人已经无望,(医生)将不再对病人进行保命式治疗,这样的情况一天有20次。

2.The long simmering euthanasia issue has lately boiled over into a sometimes fierce public debate, with both sides claiming the mantle of ultimate righteousness.争论了很久的“安乐死”问题最近时不时地演变成激烈的公众大争论,双方都声称自己的事业是最终的正义。

3.And so the euthanasists have begun to press their case with greaterforce.They argue that every human being should have the right to “die with dignity”, by which they usually meanthe right to escape the horrors of a painful or degrading hospitalization.因此,安乐死提倡者们已开始积极主张他们的观点。

如果发生摩擦,请记住要保持冷静不要动不动就勃然大怒,你不应该说出对神不敬的言论,试着减少你的怒火,否则你将会使冲突恶化,对与你发生矛盾的人的关系带来伤害。并使你处于困境之中。如果恰巧你与身边的人发生摩擦,你试着努力心平气和的坦诚不公的谈心,这并不表示你忍气吞声,低头认输,除非你的对手非常仇视的。
面对不愉快的遭遇,你不必憎恨或是失望。你应该,相反的,(充满)人道的和自信的,这样有更多的机会会被其他人理解并改进与其他人的关系。如果,相反的,你要报复并采取以牙还牙的方法,或是运用仇恨的语言发动攻击,你将会陷入麻烦,因为恶有恶报。
在英国,虽然有一个成功运作了半个世纪的支持安乐死的集团,但是不太可能有真正法律上的改变。积极安乐死依然是个犯罪行为,被认为是协助自杀行为的犯罪。最近在1984年,一个叫Helen Charlette Hough的义工被判处了9个月的监禁。因为他给一个82岁的孤独痛苦的早起耳聋和失明的老妇人提供了毒药。一年以后,对英国自杀案的修正案再提到上议院的第一轮辩论中就被迅速否决了,被描述为“有执照的谋杀”。
赌博只有两种可能,成功和失败。硬币的正面我们赢。只要我们与命运搏斗,形势经常有利于我们,尤其是我们运用常识的时候。举个例子,一个女人没有赢得男人爱的魅力,他可能会以其成功的事业为荣,而不会因为长相平平而后悔。有一些伟大的女性并不服从男人的统治和命运的安排,结果她们却拥有了其他女性所没有的幸福。对我们很多人来说,赌博在很多的情况下,是抵制乏味和冷漠的无毒的药,有助于我们保持良好的脾气和心态,具有耐心,乐观向上,而这些能给我们带来很大的好处。总之,赌博是各种生命形势特征。敢于赌博的人比犹豫不决的人更能赢得机会。不冒险的人满足于平淡无奇的生活。但是有一点他们要牢记在心,那就是他们没有权利血口喷人或谩骂中伤通过赌博而成功的人。事实上没有人有权利谴责赌博,因为没有人敢说他们从不赌博,即使是花一点点钱投资在足球彩票上或是摸“彩带”。

Unit 4THE FUTURE OF ENGLISH01In the middle of the sixteenth century, English was spoken by between four and five millions of people, and stood fifth among the European languages, with French, German, Italian, and Spanish ahead of it in that order, and Russian following. Two hundred years later, Italian had dropped behind but Russian had gone ahead, so that English was still in fifth place. By the end of the Eighteenth Century English began to move forward, and by the middle of the nineteenth it had forced its way into first place. Today it is so far in the lead that it is probably spoken by as many people as the next two languages—Russian and German combined.在16世纪中叶,有四五百万人说英语,说英语的人数在欧洲的语言中名列第五。

前四位依次是法语、德语、意大利语和西班牙语。

俄语排在英语之后。
