You can start your essay with the sentence “T he use of PowerPoint(PPT) is becoming increasingly popular in class”You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.参考范文:The Use of PowerPoint(PPT) in Class【1】The use of PowerPoint is becoming increasingly popular in class. 【2】However, its use in class is a controversial issue that has raised much concern.I think we'd better hold a cautious attitude towards the use of PPT in class。
【3】 On the one hand, well-designed PPT slides can definitely enhance teaching efficiency because all the knowledge has been prepared beforehand and teachers don’t need to spend time writing on the blackboard. 【4】 What's more, many delicately designed PPT slides are quite attractive to students. 【5】 On the other hand,we have to admit there are some potential problems with the overuse of PPT in class. 【6】 For example, many teachers don't know how to teach without PPT because of their heavy reliance on PPT.【7】 In addition, there is a possibility that some students are distracted by the decorations or animation of PPT slides, which leads to lower learning efficiency.【8】In brief, teachers are supposed to take both the teaching efficiency and students' learning outcome into consideration, and make a good balance between them. 【9】 After all, all the use of PPT should respect the educational principles and students' real,needs.精彩点评【1】严格按照题目要求中给出的提示语开篇点题。

Rather than shutting down the habit of drawing in his school's workbook, Joe's parents decided to encourage his creativity by sending their son to an after-school art class[Q1]. His teacher recognized Joe's talent and posted all his works online, which led to something pretty wonderful. A restaurant named Number4 in New Castle contacted Joe's teacher to ask if the 9-year-old could come and decorate the dining room with his drawings[Q2]. Every day after school, Joe's dad drives him to the restaurant so he can put his ideas straight on the wall. Once he's all done,the work would remain there permanentlyQ2]. Joe's dad said Joe is a really talented little boy. He's excellent at school, he's great at football,but drawing is definitely what he is most passionate about.Q1: What did Joe's parents decide to do?Q2: What will the restaurant Number 4 do?New report 2Christine Marshall, a 30 years old mom of one, posted a tearful video on social media Wednesday,begging for a safe return of her beloved pet dog[Q1].After combing through the security video outside a global shop, Christine has now posted an image of a man suspected of stealing the dog. The image appears to show a man carrying the dog in his arms. Christine also believes the video obtained from the shop shows the dog stolen by a man before driving off in a car which had been waiting nearby. The family is now offering a5000 pound reward for the safe return of the dog after launching a social media campaign to find the thief[[Q2].The dog is 6anda half years old and was last seen wearing a red collar. Christine said that"We'll pay that to anyone who brings him home as long as they are not responsible for his disappearance." Police are investigating the incident.Q3: What is Christine Marshall trying to do?Q4: What did the news report say about Christine Marshall's family?New report 3:London's Eggs &Bread café offers boiled eggs, toast,jam and bacon,as wells as tea,coffee and orange juice.But at the end of the meal, customers don't have to worryabout the bill. Hungry customers can pay whatever amount they can afford to eat at the café or nothing at all.Owner,Guy Wilson,says his café aims to build community rather than profits.He wants to provide a bridge for people to connect in an area that has been divided by class and wealth by providing affordable breakfasts[Q5]. The cafe is opened in the mornings every day of the year and has two members of staff or supervisors on shift every day.The café doesn't use volunteers but pays its staff to ensure consistency of its service.It doesn't take donations and doesn't want to be seen as charity[Q6].Mr Wilson says when people starts to know other people around them, they realize they are not that different, and whatever their financial background or their educational background. Most people will have something in common with each other[Q7]. He says it's important that his café can offer his customers security and permanence.Q5: What does Guy Wilson say his café aims to do?Q6: What does the news report say about Eggs & Bread café?Q7: What happens when people start to know each other according to Guy Wilson? Section BLong conversation 1M:So what time do you think we should have the party on Saturday?(8)W: How about inviting people to come at six PM. Then we'll have the afternoon to prepare food and drink and stuff like that?M: Yes, I was thinking that around six would be good,too.What food should we provide?W: Well, I had thought about baking a cake and some biscuits. And now, I think we should prepare some sandwiches and snacks and some other kinds of food,so that people can just help themselves rather than getting everyone to sit down at the table to eat a meal.I think that's a bit too formal. It's better to let people walk around and talk to each other or sit where they like. (9)M: Yes, that sounds good.Ill go to the supermarket to get some drinks.I think I might try that big new supermarket on the other side of town and see what they have.I've not been there before.I thin we should get some beer and wine, and some fruit juice and other soft drinks. What do you think?W: Sounds great!I think those drinks will be enough. And I heard that the new supermarket offers some big discounts to attract customers,so going there should be a great idea(10)What shall we' do about music?M: Maybe we should ask Paul to bring his computer and speakers,so that we can play some music.(11)He has a great collection of different stuff.。
2020年09月六级作文和翻译 (卷三)
2020年9月英语六级作文和翻译(卷三)2020年9月份大学英语六级考试作文和翻译有三套题,阅读有两套题,听力有一套题。
这里给大家整理的是卷三的写作和翻译部分,剩余的两套已经在卷一和卷二中提供,这里不再重复提供。
写作(卷三)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the saying Wealth of the mind is the only true wealth. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.范文:In this rapidly developing society, what we persue has never been more abundant than ever before. We care about the food safety, the health of the people around us, the appearance of us and the money we can earn. Talking about wealth, ideas may differ from person to person. Among all the elements of wealth that modern people attach importance to, I reckon that wealth of the mind is the only true wealth.Looking around, we may find many facts which can reflect the value in the saying. Take Lihong as an example, she is not the traditionally typical youngster who would be considered wealthy. However, she keeps reading books routinely and insists in attending a variety of lectures. When mentioned, Lihong is always the exemplary model praised by everybody. To many acquaintances of hers, they think she is one of the most knowledge able and thoughtful girls they’ve ever met. In the case of Lihong, wealth of the mind is more essentially valued than the money she possesses.To conclude, it is not the money we earn but wealth of our mind that determines how people see us. This reminds us again of the value that wealth of the mind is the only true wealth.翻译(卷三)《西游记》(Journey to the West)也许是中国文学四大经典小说中最具影响力的一部,当然也是在国外最广为人知的一部小说。

考研真题:广东财经大学2021年[英语写作与翻译]考试真题
考研真题:广东财经大学2021年[英语写作与翻译]考试真题一、Writing (100分)1、Summary Writing (1题,共40分)Directions: Read the following passage, and write a summary of about 300 words for it in your own words. Directly copying sentences from the passage will result in deduction of grades. Write down your summary on the Answer Sheet.Does Language Influence Culture?Lera BoroditskyDo the languages we speak shape the way we think? Do they merely express thoughts, or do the structures of languages shape the very thoughts we wish to express?Take “Humpty Dumpty sat on a ...” as an example. Even this snippet(片段)of a nursery rhyme reveals how much languages can differ from one another. In English, we have to mark the verb for tense; in this case, we say "sat” rather than "sit". In Indonesian you need not change the verb to mark tense.In Turkish, you would have to include in the verb how you acquired this information. For example, if you saw the chubby fellow on the wall with your own eyes, you'd use one form of the verb, but if you had simply read or heard about it, you'd use a different form.Do English, Indonesian and Turkish speakers end up attending to, understanding, and remembering their experiences differently simply because they speak different languages?These questions touch on all the major controversies in the study of mind, with important implications for politics, law and religion. Yet very little empirical work had been done on these questions until recently. The idea that language might shape thought was for a long time considered untestable at best and more often simplycrazy and wrong. Now, a flurry of new cognitive science research is showing that in fact, language does profoundly influence how we see the world.The question of whether languages shape the way we think goes back centuries. Charlemagne proclaimed that “to have a second language is to have a second soul”. But the idea went out of favor with scientists when Noam Chomsky's theories of language gained popularity in the 1960s and 1970s. Dr. Chomsky proposed that there is a universal grammar for all human languages — essentially, that languages don't really differ from one another in significant ways. And because languages don't differ from one another, it makes no sense to ask whether linguistic differences lead to differences in thinking.The search for linguistic universals yielded interesting data on languages, but after decades of work, not a single proposed universal has withstood scrutiny. Instead, as linguists probed deeper into the world's languages (7,000 or so, only a fraction of them analyzed), innumerable unpredictable differences emerged.Just because people talk differently doesn't necessarily mean they think differently. In the past decade cognitive scientists have begun to measure not just how people talk, but also how they think, asking whether our understanding of even such fundamental domains of experience as space, time and causality could be constructed by language.For example, in Pormpuraaw, a remote Aboriginal community in Australia, the indigenous languages don't use terms like “left” and “right”. Instead, everything is talked about in terms of absolute cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west), which means you say things like “There's an ant on your southwest leg.” To say hello in Pormpuraaw, one asks, “Where are you going?”, and an appropriate response might be, “A long way to the south-southwest. How about you?” If you don't know which way is which, you literally can't get past hello.About a third of the world's languages rely on absolute directions for space. As aresult of this constant linguistic training, speakers of such languages are remarkably good at staying oriented and keeping track of where they are, even in unfamiliar landscapes. They perform navigational feats scientists once thought were beyond human capabilities. This is a big difference, a fundamentally different way of conceptualizing space, trained by language.Differences in how people think about space don't end there. People rely on their spatial knowledge to build many other more complex or abstract representations including time, number, musical pitch, kinship relations, morality and emotions. So if Pormpuraawans think differently about space, do they also think differently about other things, like time?To find out, my colleague Alice Gaby and I traveled to Australia and gave Pormpuraawans sets of pictures that showed temporal progressions (for example, pictures of a man at different ages, or a crocodile growing, or a banana being eaten). Their job was to arrange the shuffled photos on the ground to show the correct temporal order. We tested each person in two separate sittings, each time facing in a different cardinal direction. When asked to do this, English speakers arrange time from left to right. Hebrew speakers do it from right to left (because Hebrew is written from right to left).Pormpuraawans, we found, arranged time from east to west. That is, seated facing south, time went left to right. When facing north, right to left. When facing east, toward the body, and so on. Of course, we never told any of our participants which direction they faced. The Pormpuraawans not only knew that already, but they also spontaneously used this spatial orientation to construct their representations of time. And many other ways to organize time exist in the world's languages. In Mandarin, the future can be below and the past above. In Aymara, spoken in South America, the future is behind and the past in front.In addition to space and time, languages also shape how we understand causality.For example, English likes to describe events in terms of agents doing things. English speakers tend to say things like “John broke the vase”even for accidents. Speakers of Spanish or Japanese would be more likely to say “the vase broke itself.”Such differences between languages have profound consequences for how their speakers understand events, construct notions of causality and agency, what they remember as eyewitnesses and how much they blame and punish others.In studies conducted by Caitlin Fausey at Stanford, speakers of English, Spanish and Japanese watched videos of two people popping balloons, breaking eggs and spilling drinks either intentionally or accidentally. Later everyone got a surprise memory test: For each event, can you remember who did it? She discovered a striking cross-linguistic difference in eyewitness memory. Spanish and Japanese speakers did not remember the agents of accidental events as well as did English speakers. Mind you, they remembered the agents of intentional events (for which their language would mention the agent) just fine. But for accidental events, when one wouldn't normally mention the agent in Spanish or Japanese, they didn't encode or remember the agent as well.In another study, English speakers watched the video of Janet Jackson's infamous “wardrobe malfunction” (a wonderful nonagentive coinage introduced into the English language by Justin Timberlake), accompanied by one of two written reports. The reports were identical except in the last sentence where one used the agentive phrase “ripped the costume” while the other said “the costume ripped.” Even though everyone watched the same video and witnessed the ripping with their own eyes, language mattered. Not only did people who read “ripped the costume” blame Justin Timberlake more, they also levied a whopping 53% more in fines.Beyond space, time and causality, patterns in language have been shown to shape many other domains of thought. Russian speakers, who make an extra distinction between light and dark blues in their language, are better able to visuallydiscriminate shades of blue. The Piraha, a tribe in the Amazonin Brazil, whose language eschews(避免使用)number words in favor of terms like few and many, are not able to keep track of exact quantities.Patterns in language offer a window on a culture’s dispositions and priorities. For example, English sentence structures focus on agents, and in our criminal-justice system, justice has been done when we’ve found the transgressor and punished him or her accordingly (rather than finding the victims and restituting appropriately, an alternative approach to justice). So does the language shape cultural values, or does the influence go the other way, or both?Languages, of course, are human creations, tools we invent and hone to suit our needs. Simply showing that speakers of different languages think differently doesn't tell us whether it is language that shapes thought or the other way around. To demonstrate the causal role of language, what is needed are studies that directly manipulate language and look for effects in cognition.One of the key advances in recent years has been the demonstration of precisely this causal link. It turns out that if you change how people talk, that changes how they think. If people learn another language, they inadvertently also learn a new way of looking at the world. When bilingual people switch from one language to another, they start thinking differently, too. And if you take away people's ability to use language in what should be a simple nonlinguistic task, their performance can change dramatically, sometimes making them look no smarter than rats or infants. (For example, in recent studies, MIT students were shown dots on a screen and asked to say how many there were. If they were allowed to count normally, they did great. If they simultaneously did a nonlinguistic task— like banging out rhythms—they still did great. But if they did verbal task when shown the dots repeating the words spoken in a news report—their counting fell apart. In other words, they needed their language skills to count.)All this new research shows us that the languages we speak not only reflect or express our thoughts, but also shape the very thoughts we wish to express. The structures that exist in our languages profoundly shape how we construct reality, and help make us as smart and sophisticated as we are.2、Essay Writing (1题,60分)Directions:Throughout the history people have dreamed of living in an ideal society.

Write down your translation on the Answer Sheet.Surgeons retrieving organs for transplant just after a donor’s heart stops beating would no longer have to wait at least two minutes to be sure the heart doesn't spontaneously start beating again under new rules being considered by the group that coordinates organ allocation in the United States.The organization is also poised to eliminate what many consider a central bulwark(防护,壁垒)protecting patients in such already controversial cases: an explicit ban on even considering anyone for those donations before doctors and family members have independently decided to stop trying to save them.The proposed changes by the United Network for Organ Sharing, the Richmond nonprofit organization that coordinates organ donation under a contract with the federal government, are part of the first major overhaul of the 2007 guidelines governing “donation after cardiac death,” or DCD, which accounts for small but growing percentage of donations each year.Proponents say the changes strengthen the transplant system by aligning the rules with other regulatory bodies and better ensure that the wishes of donors and their loved ones are honored without sacrificing necessary protections.Critics, however, say the move heightens the risk that potential donors will be treated more like tissue banks than like sick people deserving every chance to live, or to die peacefully.DCD involves surgeons taking organs within minutes of respirators and other forms of life support have being cut off from hospitalized patients who still have at least some brain activity. DCD had been the norm for organ donors before neurological criteria-- "brain death"-- became the standard in the early 1970s. Since then, most donors have been brain-dead.But as the number of people transplants rose, doctors in the 1990s began reviving what was then called “non-beating heart” donation. DCD has become a growing source of organs as the gap between the number of patients waiting for transplants and the number of available organs has widened. About 6,000 Americans succumb each year while waiting for donated organs.2、Chinese-English Translation (25分)Directions: Translate the following passage from Chinese to English. Write down yourtranslation on the Answer Sheet.一只小鸟——偶记前天在庭树下看见的一件事冰心有一只小鸟,它的巢搭在最高的枝子上,它毛羽还未曾丰满,不能远飞;每日只在巢里啁着,和两只老鸟说着话儿,它们都觉得非常的快乐。

(20%)CounterfeitingIn 2011, more than $500 billion worth of counterfeit(造假) goods were sold in countries throughout the world. European and American companies that produced highly sought-after branded products were most vulnerable to counterfeiting, with fakes plaguing almost every industry. One problem in combating counterfeiting was the demand for knockoffs(仿冒品). In the United States, China, and Europe, sellers and consumers who traded in outdoor street markets knowingly bought and sold fakes and had little reservation about doing so. Using Great Britain as an illustration of the problem, experts estimated that 100 million fake luxury goods were sold in Britain in 2010 and that one in eight adult Britons had purchased a fake in the past year. The European Union and the Chinese government took a step toward combating piracy in 2010 with the signing of an agreement that would fine owners of outdoor markets in China if vendors were caught selling counterfeit goods. In addition, the agreement called for landlords to terminate the lease of any vendor caught selling counterfeit goods a second time. The Chinese government convicted more than 5,500 individuals of intellectual property rights crimes in 2010. However, many piracy and counterfeiting experts believed the problem would not subside until the Chinese government adopted a zero tolerance policy against fakes.四. 阅读文章,用英文写出100-150字的内容摘要(35%)在子女心理健康和毒品问题上家长起着关键作用美国五分之一的年轻人表现出心理健康问题的迹象和征兆。
可是我们往往注意不到这种前兆。
据美国卫生局局长说,这些年轻人有半数还会产生吸毒问题。
你知道如何从你孩子身上发现迹象,如何帮助他们吗?心理疾患和吸毒成瘾如果不加诊治,可能导致孩子学习成绩不好,行为不良,关系处理不善,甚至自杀。
青少年中自杀身亡的人数,比死于癌症、心脏病、艾滋病、先天缺陷、中风、肺炎、流感和慢性肺病的总人数还多。
专家说,不幸的是,这些年轻人中的大多数都没有得到必要的专业人员的诊治。
滥用药品和心理疾患都是主要的大问题。
然而,研究结果表明,如果一个年轻人既有心理疾患又染上了毒瘾,那往往是先出现心理疾患。
心理健康出现问题的年轻人,可能会试图用大麻等非法药品或酗酒来治疗自己,也称“自我药疗”。
这样会很快导致对药物的依赖,私用非法药品或酗酒可能加重心理疾病,甚至可能对遵照医嘱所进行的药物治疗产生干扰。
对某些年轻人来说,滥用药品可能引起像是心理疾患的新症状,如间歇性的情绪低落、发怒或产生幻觉。
家长在帮助发现并(或)解决孩子的心理健康和滥用药品问题中起着关键作用。
研究结果表明,在事关人生的重大问题上,孩子们总把父母视为最好的信息和知道来源。
因此,对于孩子在学校出现问题、饮食起居改变、身体和外貌欠佳、难以应付日常决定和压力等征兆,家长一定要密切注意。
心理问题和吸毒成瘾都是不折不扣的疾病——跟糖尿病、癌症、心脏病一样不折不扣。
