Choose the one you think is the best answer. Mark your choice on the answer sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets. Questions 91-94 are based on the following passage:The fiddler crab is a living clock. It indicates the time of day by the color of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab's changing skin color follows a regular 24-hour cycle that exactly matches the daily rhythm of the sun.Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply respond to the sun's rays, changing color according to the amount of light that strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight the crab's skin color continued to change precisely on schedule.This characteristic probably evolved in response to the rhythm of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated inside the living body of the crab.The biologists noticed that once each day the color of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this occurs fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides. The crab's period of greatest darkening is precisely the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught!91. The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes color[A] in a regular 24-hour rhythm.[B] in response to the sun's rays.[C] at low tide.[D] every fifty minutes.92. The crab's changing color[A] tells the crab what time it is.[B] protects the crab from the sunlight and enemies.[C] keeps the crab warm.[D] is of no real use.93. When the fiddler crabs were kept in the dark, they[A] did not change color.[B] changed color more quickly.[C] changed color more slowly.[D] changed color on the same schedule.94. The best title for the passage is[A] The Rhythmic Cycles of the Sun and Tide[B] Discoveries in Biology[C] A Scientific Study[D] A living ClockThere is another example of the revolution in railway signaling and safety measures which can also be attributed to the widespread introduction of electricity in the last decade of the nineteenth century. The track circuit, patented by one William Robinson as far back as 1872, was based on a simple principle. A section of track is insulated at the rail joints from the adjoining sections, and an electrically-operated switch or relay is maintained in the closed position by a low-voltage current passing continually through the rails. The effect of the entry of a train on the insulated section is to short-circuit this current through its wheels and axles with the result that the switch opens. It will be appreciated that should the current fail or should an accidental short-circuit take place, the device will behave as if a train were on the section. However, it will obey the essential requirement of every safety device that in the event of failure the danger signal is given.95. What does the paragraph preceding this one probably discuss?[A] Another one of Robinson's inventions[B] A twentieth-century safety device[C] An electrically-operated safety device[D] Railroading in the mid-nineteenth century96. In the last sentence in the passage, what does the word "it" refer to?[A] An accidental short-circuit[B] A danger signal[C] A safety device[D] A train97. Which of the following statements is TRUE?[A] Railway signaling improved with the American Revolution.[B] The last century saw great progress in railway signaling device.[C] The track circuit is a simple application of a complex principle.[D] The widespread introduction of electricity took place around 1910.98. If a short-circuit takes place, what will happen to the section containing the safety device?[A] A fire will start.[B] A danger signal will be given.[C] A train will derail.[D] The electrically operated switch will close.99. What is the result when a train passed over a section with a low-voltage current?[A] It will derail.[B] A switch opens.[C] A danger signal is given.[D] It will shock the crew.100. What is the topic of this passage?[A] The development of electrical safety devices[B] The inventions of William Robinson[C] The danger of railroad accidents[D] The operation of an electrical safety device for trainsLife near the shore everywhere is affected by the tides, which come and go twice each day in a cycle of about twelve-and-a-half hours —just different enough from the daily cycle of the sun so that there can be no regular relationship between the shore being alternately wet and dry and alternately light and dark. The extent of the tides varies greatly, from as little as one foot in inland seas like the Mediterranean, to fifty feet or so in the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. In some parts of the world, one of the two daily tides rises higher and falls lower than the other; and tides at the time of new moon and full moon are generally greater than at other times. The extent of the intertidal zone thus varies from day to day as well as from place to place.The kinds of organisms living in the region between the tidal limits depend very much on whether the shore is rocky, sandy, or muddy. Rocky shores have the most obviously rich faunas, because of the firm anchorage for both animals and plants, and because of the small pools left by the retreating seas. Sandy shores, especially when exposed to surf (as they usually are, have the fewest kinds of animals.101. Which of the following factors does not affect the extent of the tides?[A] Place[B] Time[C] The moon[D] The composition of the shore soil102. The time span between tides[A] varies as much as the extent of the tides.[B] is a more constant phenomenon than the extent of the tides.[C] is shorter in inland seas.[D] and the extent of tides depend upon each other.103. The two tides in a given day[A] may vary in extent.[B] never vary in extent.[C] always vary in extent.[D] only vary in extent at the time of a new moon or a full moon.104. The composition of the intertidal soil affect[A] the nature of tides.[B] the temperature of the water in that area.[C] the amount of animals and plants living in that area.[D] the level of pollution in that area.105. Muddy shores[A] have poorer faunas than do sandy shores.[B] have richer faunas than do rocky shores.[C] have poorer faunas than do rocky shores, but richer faunas than do sandy shores.[D] have no faunas at all.106. The smallest tides occur in[A] open seas.[B] inland.[C] bays.[D] deeper seas.Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practising until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. A great athlete practices until he can play quickly, accurately, without thinking. Tennis players call that "being in the zone." Educators call it "automaticity."A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and decoding the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase. With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about decoding the words, so he can concentrate on the meaning of the text.It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found automatic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests. At fifth grade, the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others, and still outscoring them on accuracy, comprehension and vocabulary."It's not I.Q. but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to automaticity," according to Rossman. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will in all likelihood reach automaticity. At home, where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching television, it can happen by turning off the set just one night in favour of reading.You can test your child by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud - something unfamiliar but appropriate to his age. If he reads aloud with expression, with a sense ofthe meaning of the sentences, he probably is an automatic reader. If he reads haltingly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, he needs more practice.107. The first paragraph tells us____.[A] what automaticity is[B] how accuracy is acquired[C] how a child learns to walk[D] how an athlete is trained108. An automatic reader[A] sounds out the letters[B] concentrates on meaning[C] has a high I.Q.[D] pays much attention to the structures of sentences109. The Illinois study shows that the automatic reader's high speed[A] costs him a lot of work[B] affects his comprehension[C] leads to his future success[D] doesn't affect his comprehension110. A bright child[A] also needs practice to be an automatic reader[B] always achieves great success in comprehension tests[C] becomes an automatic reader after learning how to read[D] is a born automatic readerQuestions 111 - 116 are based on the following passage:The Triumph of Unreason?Neoclassical economics is built on the assumption that humans are rational beings who have a clear idea of their best interests and strive to extract maximum benefit (or―utility‖, in economist-speak from any situation. Neoclassical economics assumes that the process of decision-making is rational. But that contradicts growing evidence that decision-making draws on the emotions—even when reason is clearly involved.The role of emotions in decisions makes perfect sense. For situations met frequently in the past, such as obtaining food and mates, and confronting or fleeing from threats, the neural mechanisms required to weigh up the pros and cons will have been honed by evolution to produce an optimal outcome. Since emotion is the mechanism by which animals are prodded towards such outcomes, evolutionary and economic theory predict the same practical consequences for utility in these cases. But does this still apply when the ancestral machinery has to respond to the stimuli of urban modernity?One of the people who thinks that it does not is George Loewenstein, an economist at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh. In particular, he suspects that modern shopping has subverted the decision-making machinery in a way that encourages people to run up debt. To prove the point he has teamed up with two psychologists, Brian Knutson of Stanford University and Drazen Prelec of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to look at what happens in the brain when it is deciding what to buy.。

国家留学基金委英语观点性作文
国家留学基金委英语观点性作文In today's increasingly interconnected world, the significance of international education cannot be overstated. The experience of studying abroad offers students not only academic growth but also a unique opportunity to cultivate global citizenship and interpersonal skills. As globalization continues to shape our societies, understanding diverse cultures and perspectives has become paramount.Firstly, immersing oneself in a different educational environment fosters intellectual growth. Students are exposed to various teaching methods, curricula, and academic disciplines that differ significantly from their home institutions. This variety enhances critical thinking and promotes creativity, encouraging students to think outside traditional paradigms. Additionally, studying abroad often involves collaborative projects that require teamwork withpeers from different cultural backgrounds. Such experiences build adaptability, an essential skill in today’s job market.Moreover, international education promotes cultural understanding. When students live in a different country,they experience the local customs, languages, and traditions firsthand. This immersion deepens their appreciation for diversity and nurtures empathy. In a world often divided by cultural misunderstandings, fostering a sense of global community through educational experiences can bridge gaps and dismantle stereotypes.Furthermore, networking opportunities abound in international education. Students establish connections with peers, professors, and industry professionals from around the globe. These connections can lead to collaborations, internships, and job opportunities that would otherwise be inaccessible. The friendships formed during this time cantransform into a supportive global network, facilitating personal and professional growth long after graduation.In conclusion, the value of international education liesin its ability to prepare students for a rapidly changing world. As they develop academically, culturally, and socially, they emerge as well-rounded individuals capable of navigating the complexities of global citizenship. Embracing the challenges and opportunities of studying abroad is not just a personal journey; it is a step towards creating a more understanding and interconnected world.。

Develop + Connect! Example: I love my hometown Kunming for many reasons. First of all, I was born and raised here and all of my relatives and most of my friends live here. So I feel at ease in Kunming. In addition, you may find the weather here very pleasant because it’s climate mild all year round. On top of this, the food here is stunning. It’s a mix of colors and flavors. It’s so tasty. I highly recommend the over-bridge rice noodles to you! And although many people complain about the traffic, I know it’s not as bad as in many other cities, and they’re working on building a subway here. However, it won’t be ready before another 5 years, but the city is definitely modernizing!

You will listen to this part TWICE.You now have 60 SECONDS to read questions 21 to 30.[pause 60 seconds][tone]May I have your attention please! Thank you. Toddy I’m going to talk about how to choose the university that’s best for you. And then I’ll answer your questions.To study abroad, the first consideration, in my opinion, is not to decide on the university, but its faculty. You need to find out whether the professors are well-known in your major. Have they published anything? Are they making contributions to the field that you’re interested in studying? Harvard or Oxford may not have the best faculty in your major. So always remember the fame of the faculty is more important than the fame of the university when you choose a university.The second consideration is whether the school is good. Is it accredited? That means, is it approved by a board of experts that are called the accreditation board? Or you may prefer approved by certain authority. Otherwise, even if you get a degree from that school, it will not be considered very worthwhile.The third thing to consider is size. Do you want to be in a very large school, perhaps 40,000 students that has excellent research and library facilities, but you might have to take a bus from one end of the campus to the other? Or, do you want to be in a smaller institution where the library isn’t so big, but maybe you’ll get more individual attention.And last but not least is certainly cost. How much does it cost? Is there any financial aid for international students? Are there opportunities to work on the campus? These are all considerations that you need to think of before you make a choice.Now I’m ready to answer you questions.A: How do I apply to a foreign university?B: You can visit its website first, then download an application form, fill it in and mail it to the university together with your transcripts, recommendation letters, test scores, writing samples, portfolio, and a statement of purpose.A: What are the English language requirements?B: Minimum acceptable scores on the TOEFL exam are 600 for paper-based, 250 for computer-based, or 105 for internet-based. The acceptable minimum for IELTS is a score of 7. A: Is the GRE required for every graduate program?B: The GRE is not required for the MA in Creative Writing. However, it is required for all other master’s and PhD programs.A: Do you have financial aid for international students?B: Financial assistance for international students is available in the form of merit-based awards only. Funding for merit awards is extremely limited, and competition is very high. For thesereasons, students are encouraged to have supplementary funding from organizations or sponsors to cover books, living expenses, and other miscellaneous expenses.A: What is the cost of tuition?B: The cost of tuition for academic year 2008-09 per credit hour was $1,178. The cost of tuition for academic year 2009-10 per credit hour is $1,237.A: What is the difference between full-time study and part-time study?B: A course-load of 9 credits, that is to say you attend 3 classes or more per semester, is considered full-time study at the graduate. Part time study is 6 credits, that is to say you attend 2 classes or fewer per semester.A: How long will it take me to complete my program?B: That depends. Master’s degrees require between 30 and 57 credits; PhDs require 72 credits; and graduate certificates require between 15 and 30 credits. If you are attending graduate school full time, you will probably take 9 credits a semester. If you take fewer than 9 credits a semester, it will take longer to complete the degree requirements.

As you listen, complete the following statements by writing NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. You will listen to this part TWICE.You now have 60 SECONDS to read questions 31 to 40.[pause 60 seconds][tone]My topic today is the economy of the United States. As you might know, the United States has the largest and most technologically powerful economy in the world. Its nominal gross domestic product (GDP) was $14.4 trillion in 2008, which is about three times that of the world’s second largest economy, Japan. The U.S. economy maintains a very high level of output per person. Its GDP per capita was $47,422 in 2008, ranked at around number ten in the world. For about 230 years since its founding in 1776, the United States has grown into a huge, integrated, industrialized economy that makes up over a quarter of the world economy.There’re many causes for the development of U.S. economy. A central feature of the U.S. economy is the economic freedom afforded to the private sector by allowing the private sector to make the majority of economic decisions in determining the direction and scale of what the U.S. economy produces. This is enhanced by relatively low levels of regulation and government involvement, as well as a court system that generally protects property rights and enforces contracts.The United States is rich in mineral resources and fertile farm soil, and it is fortunate to have a moderate climate. It also has extensive coastlines on both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, as well as on the Gulf of Mexico. Rivers flow from far within the continent, and the Great Lakes — five large, inland lakes along the U.S. border with Canada —provide additional shipping access. These extensive waterways have helped shape the country’s economic growth over the years and helped bind America’s 50 individual states together in a single eco nomic unit.The number of workers and, more importantly, their productivity help determine the health of the U.S. economy. Throughout its history, the United States has experienced steady growth in the labor force, a phenomenon that is both cause and effect of almost constant economic expansion. Until shortly after World War I, most workers were immigrants from Europe, or slaves from Africa, or their descendants. Beginning in the early 20th century, many Latin Americans immigrated; followed by large numbers of Asians following removal of nation-origin based immigration quotas. The promise of high wages brings many highly skilled workers from around the world to the United States.Labor mobility has also been important to the capacity of the American economy to adapt to changing conditions. When immigrants flooded labor markets on the East Coast, many workers moved inland, often to farmland waiting to be tilled. Similarly, economic opportunities in industrial, northern cities attracted black Americans from southern farms in the first half of the 20th century.In the United States, the corporation has emerged as an association of owners, known as stockholders, who form a business enterprise governed by a complex set of rules and customs. Brought on by the process of mass production, corporations, such as General Electric, have been instrumental in shaping the United States. Through the stock market, American banks and investors have grown their economy by investing and withdrawing capital from profitable corporations. Today in the era of globalization American investors and corporations have influence all over the world. The American government has also been instrumental in investing in the economy, in areas such as providing cheap electricity and military contracts in times of war. However, the 1973 to 1975 period of oil shocks marked the recession of its economy, when GDP fell by 3.1 percent, followed by the 1981 to 1982 recession, when GDP dropped by 2.9 percent. The war with Iraq in 2003 required major shifts in national resources to the military, which hadsome impact on overall GDP growth. Soaring oil prices between 2005 and the first half of 2008 threatened inflation and unemployment. This is because imported oil accounts for about two-thirds of US consumption.In recent years, the primary economic concerns have centered on: high household debt ($14 trillion), high national debt ($9 trillion), high mortgage debt (over $10 trillion), and high external debt (money owed to foreign lenders). The global economic downturn, the sub-prime mortgage crisis, investment bank failures, falling home prices, and tight credit pushed the United States into a recession.On December 1, 2008, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) declared that the United States entered a recession in December 2007.To help stabilize financial markets, the US Congress established a $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) in October 2008. The government used some of these funds to purchase equity in US banks and other industrial corporations. In January 2009 the US Congress passed and President Barack OBAMA signed a bill providing an additional $787 billion fiscal stimulus - two-thirds on additional spending and one-third on tax cuts - to create jobs and to help the economy recover.[pause 2 seconds]Now, you will hear the lecture for the second time.You now have 60 SECONDS to check your answers.[pause 60 seconds]You now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.[pause 10 minutes]word格式-可编辑-感谢下载支持THAT IS THE END OF THE LISTENING TEST.[15 second light music]Key1.original2.attract3.insight4.traced5.architecturemunity7.create8.dynamic9.facilities10.innovative11.Student Secure12.online13.$15014.Lloyds15.800-576493216.F17.T18.F19.T20.F21.fame of faculty/faculty fame22.approved by experts/authority23.more individual attention24.visit the website 25.10526.Creative Writing27.extremely limited/highcompetition28.$123729.part-time student30.graduate certificates31.over a quarter32.private sector33.Extensive waterways34.immigrants, slavesbor mobility36.corporations/companies37.oil prices38.high debts39.recession40.create jobs, recover。

卷1国家留学基金委英语水平测试听力试题
卷1国家留学基金委英语水平测试听力试题全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Big English Listening Test for Going to School OverseasHi there! My name is Lily and I'm a 5th grader. I just took a really important test called the National Study Abroad Scholarship English Listening Test. It was kind of hard, but also pretty fun! Let me tell you all about it.A few months ago, my parents told me they wanted to apply for me to go to school in another country for a year or two through this scholarship program. I was super excited because I love learning about different cultures and trying new things. But first, I had to take this big English test to show I could understand people speaking English really well.The test had four sections, but today I'll just talk about the listening part since that's the section I struggled with the most. The listening section had conversations between different people as well as talks and narratives. We had to listen really carefully and answer multiple choice questions about what we heard.The first conversation was between two friends making plans to go to the movies. It was kind of tricky because they were using casual language and idioms that I don't hear as much in my English classes at school. Things like "I'm down for that" and "sounds like a plan!" At first I had a hard time following their quick back-and-forth, but I got the hang of it after a few questions.Next up was a talk about the history of a famous monument. The speaker used much more formal language, which I'm more used to hearing. But then they started throwing in all these difficult vocabulary words about architecture and historical events that I didn't recognize at all! I just tried my best to listen for the main ideas.The third part was a narrative story about a girl and her adventures camping in the woods. This one was fun because the narrator used lots of engaging descriptions and sound effects to set the scene. Like the crackling of the campfire and birds chirping in the background. I felt like I was there in the story with her!Finally, the last section had a bunch of different short conversations in all kinds of settings - at school, at home, at the doctor's office, you name it. These were the trickiest because youhad to quickly figure out the context of each new conversation to understand what was going on.By the end, my brain felt like a wet noodle from concentrating so hard! Listening skills are definitely something I need to work on more if I want to go to school in another country. Sometimes I missed key details because my mind wandered for just a second. Or I misunderstood because of an unfamiliar accent or idiom.But I'm not going to let that get me down! I've been practicing my English listening every day by watching movies and shows, having conversations with my English tutor, and even just narrating my day in my head using more descriptive language. I'm determined to ace this test next time so I can have that awesome international study experience.Wish me luck! If I do get to go study abroad, I'll write you another letter all about my adventures. Maybe you'll see me speaking fluent English on television as an ambassador for the scholarship program one day. A girl can dream, right?Talk to you soon!Lily篇2Book 1: National Scholarship Fund Committee English Proficiency Test Listening SectionHi there! My name is Lily and I'm a 4th grader. Today I want to tell you all about the listening section of the big English test I had to take. It was for the National Scholarship Fund Committee. They give out money to let kids like me study abroad! How cool is that?The test was pretty long, but the listening part wasn't too bad. The nice lady's voice on the recording was really clear. First up were some easy questions just about numbers and letters. She said stuff like "B-A-T spells bat" and you had to write down if it was true or false on your answer sheet.After that came the harder part - conversations between two people. You had to listen really carefully and answer multiple choice questions about what they were talking about. Some of them were just about daily life, like a kid asking their mom if they could go to a friend's house over the weekend. But others were about school subjects like science or history. Those were kind of tricky since they used lots of big vocabulary words I didn't know.The hardest conversations for me were the ones with more than two people. It was confusing trying to keep track of who was saying what! There was one weird one about some studentsgoing on a field trip and arguing about which museum to visit.I'm just glad I didn't have to go on that field trip for real.Sprinkled throughout the listening section were also some longer monologue passages. The speakers would just talk for a few minutes straight about a single topic. Those were brutal! My little brain could only focus for so long before wandering off. One was about the history of the English language and another was instructions for how to bake a cake. I love cake, but not enough to pay perfect attention to every little detail!By the end, my pencil was a stump from furiously bubbling in answers. Listening is hard work! At least we got a break before the reading section started. Phew!I'm just glad that listening part is over with. Don't get me wrong, I love listening to fun stories or watching movies and shows. But when it's an important test like this over boring topics? No thank you! I'd way rather take a nice comprehension quiz over the latest Dog Man book any day.Well, I've rambled on enough about the nitty gritty details of my test experience. How'd you do on your latest English exam? Any sections give you a hard time too? We're all in this together, working towards becoming fluent speakers and readers. Led篇3Title: My Fun Day at the ZooHello, everyone! Today, I want to share with you my exciting trip to the zoo. It was the best day ever! Let's listen to my story and answer the questions.Yesterday, my family and I went to the zoo. The weather was sunny and warm. We packed some snacks, water, and my favorite teddy bear, Teddy. We arrived at the zoo in the morning and I couldn't wait to see all the amazing animals.First, we went to see the elephants. They were huge and had long trunks. I saw them eating leaves and spraying water on themselves. It was so funny! Then, we moved on to the giraffes. They had long necks and spots on their bodies. I tried to count the spots, but I lost track because they had so many!Next, we visited the monkeys. They were swinging from tree to tree and making funny sounds. I laughed so hard! After that, we saw the lions. They were resting under the shade, but I could see their big, golden manes. They looked like kings of the jungle!As we walked further, we came across a pond with colorful fish swimming in it. I fed them some food, and they all camesplashing near the surface. It was like a fish party! Near the pond, there was a peacock displaying its beautiful feathers. It was like a rainbow on the ground!Then, we arrived at the penguin area. They were waddling and sliding on the ice. I wished I could join them! We also saw some playful dolphins jumping high in the water and doing tricks. They were so smart!Finally, it was time for my favorite part - the petting zoo! I got to touch and feed cute little goats, sheep, and rabbits. They were so fluffy and friendly. Teddy even made friends with them!After a fun-filled day, it was time to leave the zoo. I waved goodbye to all the animals and promised to visit them again soon. This trip made me realize how amazing and diverse our animal friends are.Now, let's answer some questions about my trip to the zoo.Where did I go with my family?What was the weather like?What was the first animal we saw?What did the elephants do?What animal had long necks and spots?What animals were swinging from tree to tree?What animal looked like kings of the jungle?What did I see swimming in the pond?What colorful bird did I see near the pond?What animals did I get to touch and feed at the petting zoo?I hope you had fun listening to my zoo adventure! Now, let's check the answers together!(End of the listening test)Remember, it's important to listen carefully and pay attention to the details. Good luck!篇4The Listening Test Was So Hard!Wow, that listening test was really difficult! I'm glad it's over. I've been studying so hard for the National Scholarship Fund English test. My parents really want me to get a good score so I can qualify for the scholarship to study abroad. I know English is super important, but some parts of the test were just crazy!The listening section was first. I thought it would be easy since I'm pretty good at understanding English when myteachers talk. But these listening passages were from all different topics with lots of new vocabulary words I didn't know. There were conversations, lectures, radio shows - you name it!The first part had short conversations between two people. Like one was someone ordering food at a restaurant. Or two friends making plans to go to the movies. Those were still pretty manageable. I could mostly follow what they were saying and answer the questions.But then came the longer lectures and talks. Yikes! One was this professor giving a whole lecture about the history of aviation. He used all these big words about engineering and physics that went right over my head. Another one was a radio documentary about endangered species. I've never even heard of half those animal names before!And the questions were super specific too. Like: "What year did the Wright Brothers make their first successful flight?" Or "According to the speaker, how many Black Rhinos are left in the wild?" There's no way I could remember all those little details after just hearing it once.My favorite was the story about a kid who went on a crazy camping trip. That one was pretty fun to listen to. But then they asked me questions like "What three items did he pack in hisbackpack?" Come on, how am I supposed to remember his whole packing list?!The worst part was when they played back a terrible phone conversation with a ton of static. I could barely hear what they were saying at all! The volume kept going up and down. At least that section was short.I tried my best to write down key words and facts as I heard them. But there was just so much information coming so fast. By the end, my hand was cramping up from writing notes the whole time.Phew, I'm just glad that section is over! Now I've got to prepare for the reading part next. I heard there are some crazy long passages about science and history topics. Maybe I'll have better luck with those since I can take my time re-reading them.Either way, I'm going to celebrate tonight by watching my favorite English movies and snacking on popcorn. No more English studying for one night! I'll get back to my textbooks and practice tests tomorrow. Wish me luck!篇5The Big Listening TestOh boy, I'm really nervous about the big listening test coming up! It's called the Listening Comprehension part of the National Scholarship Test for English Proficiency. My teacher says it's super important if I want to study abroad one day.I've been practicing my English listening skills a lot. Everyday after school, I put on my headphones and listen to English stories and songs. My favorite is the "Let's Go" series – those stories about the brother and sister going on adventures are so much fun!The test has different sections testing different skills. One part is just listening to short conversations between two people and answering questions about what they said. Like if they're talking about going to the park, I might have to say who is going, what time they're meeting, or what they're going to do there.Another section has longer recordings, like a teacher giving a lesson about science or history. Those are hard because there's so much information to remember! I have to practice taking notes while listening. My mom helps me by reading passages out loud, then quizzing me on the details.The toughest part is listening to lectures or talks and answering questions not just about the facts, but also the speaker's opinions, the reasons they give for something, or themain ideas. Whew, that's a lot to keep track of! I really have to concentrate.I've learned some good strategies though. Before I start listening, I read the questions first so I know what to pay attention to. I try to listen for keywords, transitions like "for example" or "in conclusion", and things that indicate opinions like "I believe..." or "An important reason is..."If I miss something, I don't panic. I use context clues from the other parts I understood to make my best guess. And I eliminate wrong answer choices right away to narrow it down.After each recording, I quickly review my notes and answer choices before moving on. I can't dwell too long or I'll run out of time on other questions!The test is pretty long - over an hour of just listening! But I'll get breaks in between sections. I always bring a water bottle and snack to re-energize. Maybe some animal crackers oryogurt-covered pretzels, yum!I'm working hard to get ready. My parents found practice materials online, and every night we listen to samples and discuss strategies. My dad says as long as I stay calm and use my skills, I'll do great.The day before the test, I'll get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast like oatmeal with fruit to keep me going. I'll do some deep breathing exercises my teacher taught us to stay relaxed. Then I'll put on my lucky socks (the Superman ones!) and give it my best!English listening is definitely challenging, but also kind of fun - it's like a puzzle to decode the sounds into meaning. I can't wait to show off my skills on test day. Wish me luck! If I do well, maybe I'll get to go on an awesome study trip to America or England. How cool would that be?篇6Volume 1 National Study Abroad Scholarship English Proficiency Test Listening SectionHi there! My name is Emma and I'm going to tell you all about the listening part of the big English test I had to take recently. It was for a scholarship to study abroad, so it was really important that I did my best.The first section was conversations between two people. We had to listen carefully and answer multiple choice questions about what they said. Some of the conversations were between friends making plans, while others were more formal situationslike at a store or restaurant. The conversations moved pretty quickly, so I had to concentrate hard to catch all the details.One conversation I remember well was between two kids arguing about what game to play during recess. The boy wanted to play soccer, but the girl wanted to jump rope instead. In the end, they compromised by deciding to play soccer first, then jump rope after. The question asked what they agreed to do, so I picked the right answer. Phew!For the next section, we listened to longer monologues from just one person speaking. These were more challenging because the person would give a lot of details and examples that you really had to follow along with. Some were easy though, like when a mom described her family's trip to the beach. She talked about building sandcastles, eating ice cream, and watching the sunset. I could clearly picture it all in my mind.But then there was a trickier monologue from a teacher giving instructions for a science project. She rambled on with so many specific steps and materials needed. I must have replayed that audio three times, taking careful notes each time. The questions about it were no joke!Towards the end, we had to listen to excerpts from lectures and presentations. Those felt like something you'd hear from aprofessor in university. The language was more academic and covered complex topics like history, science, and literature. I'm just a kid, so some of those lectures went right over my head at first. Thankfully, we could take notes and refer back to them for the questions.My personal favorite was a lecture from a famous children's book author. He told some entertaining backstories about how he came up with the ideas for his popular book series. Getting a peek into an author's creative process was just fascinating to me. Maybe I'll write my own books one day!Ahhh, that listening test certainly drained my brain by the end. But I gave it my all and hopefully earned a good score. While some parts were a struggle, it was excellent practice for improving my English listening comprehension skills. Who knows, maybe those skills will take me around the world one day if I get that scholarship!Well, thanks for letting me tell you all about my experience. Study hard, and you can conquer any listening test too. Let me know if you have any other questions!。

Xi'an is the capital of Shaanxi province, located in the northwest part of China. It is recognized as one of most important cities in China, both historically and currently. Xi’an Called Chang'an in ancient times, has been the capital of 13 dynasties, including the Zhou, Qin, Han, and the Tang. It also has been the eastern end of the Silk Road , so Xi’an was the first Chinese city to open up its doors to the ancient word.
It is in a favorable geographical location surrounded by natural beauty, including rivers, mountains, plains, and rolling hills. It has a semi-moist monsoon ( [ˌmɒnˈsu:n] （印度洋的）季风; 季风雨; 夏季季风) climate and there is a clear distinction between the four seasons. The weather is extremely cold in winter.

I think there are many improvements needed in Xi’an. Firstly, the traffic problem is a big challenge here. Every day, particularly in the rush-hour, we are in a traffic jam. Getting stuck in horrible traffic jams every morning and evening is really unpleasant. so more subway lines should be built. Secondly, pollution is increasing day by day which affects the weather here. In this regard, reducing the consumption of fuels by minimizing usage of cars is a good solution. Thirdly, the house prices in xi'an are incresing very fast. So it would be great if the house prices could be decrease a bit.

Well, my hometown is YuLin, located in the southeast of Shaanxi province. The total area of shangluo is about 9 thousands square Kilometers . Shangluo city is 120 kilometers away from xi’an, known as the back garden of xi’an. There are beautiful moutains and rivers, kind people, crowd streets and peaceful path.
