1.Das Bundeskabinett hat am 24. und 25. Mai 2016 die "Meseberger Erklärung zur Integration" beschlossen und in diesem Rahmen den Nationalen Integrationspreis ins Leben gerufen.
Ein hoher finsterer Hof war da. Neben dem Müllkasten stand er. Und plötzlich sang er schallend los, sang die Wände an. Den Hut nahm er vom Kopf wie ein Leierkastenmann. Von den Wänden kam der Ton wieder. Das war gut. Seine Stimme erfüllte seine Ohren. Er sang mit so lauter Stimme, wie er im Gefängnis nie hätte singen dürfen. Und was er sang, daß es von den Wänden widertönte? »Es braust ein Ruf wie Donnerhall.« Kriegerisch fest und markig. Und dann: »Juvivallerallera« mitten aus einem Lied. Es beachtete ihn keiner. Der Jude nahm ihn am Tor in Empfang: »Ihr habt schön gesungen. Ihr habt wirklich schön gesungen. Ihr könntet Gold mit einer Stimme verdienen, wie Ihr habt.«(455 Wörter)

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D You are expected to make the best choice.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passageA number of scientific studies have found that the amount of sugar we consume is a major factor in how big Americans have become. In the last half century, consumption of sugars by the average American has increased by more than 24 pounds a year, expanding waistlines and crowding out more nutritious foods.Furthermore, the studies indicate that the main dietary culprit for both the increase in sugar and the weight of Americans has been the ever-growing consumption of sugary drinks, especially soda. These soft drinks contribute 7 percent of the calories Americans consume, making them the leading source of added sugar and the single largest source of calories in our diet.Critics have repeatedly blamed high-fructose corn syrup, the inexpensive sweetener that has helped to keep soda prices down and allowed consumption to soar. But in fact, no(答案必须写在考点提供的答题纸上)科目代码：211总分值：100科目名称：翻译硕士英语sugary beverage and no caloric sweetener is blameless. Not ordinary table sugar; not brown sugar or raw sugar; not honey; not even fruit juice concentrate.All these sweeteners when added to drinks contribute mostly empty calories that do little to satisfy the appetite and end up as excess energy that the body ultimately turns to fat. And soda, though the most common sugary beverage, is not the only one involved. In fact, after decades of increases, soda consumption has leveled off, but sports drinks, energy drinks and sweetened teas have become increasingly important contributors to the liquid calories Americans consume.To improve the health of its residents and its coffers, New York State is considering a consumption tax of about one penny per ounce on high-calorie sweetened beverages.The American Beverage Association, which takes major credit for an 88 percent reduction in sugared soda calories in the nation’s schools, has seriously undermined its credibility with ads opposing the so-called soda tax.In association-sponsored commercials on television and radio, housewives spout the ridiculous argument that such a tax would make it more difficult for them to feed their families.But on no nutritionist’s list are you likely to find soda listed as a desirable dietary ingredient. It is not a food, nor a basic necessity. In fact, the people likely to benefit most from a soda tax that discourages consumption are those who find it hardest to make ends meet. These are the people who can least afford to waste hard-earned dollars on empty calories that undermine their health.41. What have many studies found according to the first two paragraphs?A. Americans’ diet contains too many nutritious foods.B. Soda is one major contributor to Americans’ obesity.C. Americans’ diet has the largest number of calories.D. Americans consume the most sugars in the world.42. What can we know about the empty calories from the passage?A. They make people have no appetite.B. They will turn to fat at last.C. They are Americans’ basic necessity.D. They are bad for people’s health.43. What measure does New York State want to take to improve its people’s health?A. It is planning to impose taxes on sugary drinks with high calories.B. It is considering limiting the amount of liquid calories Americans consume.C. It limits the amount of sugar added to the sugary drinks.D. It encourages the sellers to raise the price of the drinks with high calories.(答案必须写在考点提供的答题纸上)科目代码：211总分值：100科目名称：翻译硕士英语44. Why does the American Beverage Association lose its credibility?A. It doesn’t think all the sugary drinks are harmful.B. It opposes reducing its nation schools’ soda calories.C. It doesn’t support the so-called soda tax.D. It discourages people to consume soda drinks.45. What is housewives’ attitude towards the soda tax?A. Indifferent.B. Supporting.C. Suspicious.D. Disapproving.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:There are three basic ways in which individual economic units interact with one another. They are the market system, the administered system, and the traditional system. In a market system, individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the market place. Transactions may take place through barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shoes, and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade an old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. An alternative to the market system is administered control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue laws or commands as to how much each goods and service should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy. The central plan drawn up by the government shows the amount of each commodity produced by the various firms and distributed to different households for consumption. In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition. Each person′s place with the economic system is fixed by parentage, religion, and custom. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too. People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an obligation to care for other persons, provide them with food and shelter, care for their health, and provide for their education. Clearly, in a system where every decision is made on the basis of tradition alone progress may be difficult to achieve. 46. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain the science of economics. B. To outline types of economic systems. C. To argue for the superiority of one economic system. D. To compare barter and money exchange markets. 47. In the second paragraph, by which of the following could the word "real" best bereplaced? (答案必须写在考点提供的答题纸上)科目代码：211总分值：100科目名称：翻译硕士英语A. High quality.B. Concrete.C. Utter.D. Essential.48. According to the passage, a barter economy can lead to____. A. rapid speed of transactions B. misunderstandings C. inflation D. difficulties for the traders 49. According to the passage who has the greatest degree of control on an administeredsystem? A. Individual households. B. Small businesses.C. Major companies. D. The government. 50. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a criterion for determining aperson’s position in a traditional society?A. Family backgroundB. AgeC. Religious beliefs.D. CustomQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:The science of meteorology is concerned with the study of the structure, state, and behavior of the atmosphere. The subject may be approached from several directions, but the scene cannot be fully appreciated from any advantage point. Different views must be integrated to give perspective to the whole picture. One may consider the condition of the atmosphere at a given moment and attempt to predict changes from that condition over a period of a few hours to a few days ahead. This approach is covered by the branch of the science called synoptic（天气的）meteorology.Synoptic meteorology is the scientific basis of the technique of weather forecasting by means of the preparation and analysis of weather maps and aerological diagram. The practical importance of the numerous applications of weather forecasting cannot be overestimated. In serving the needs of shipping, aviation, agriculture, industry, and many other interests and fields of human activity with accurate weather warnings and professional forecast advice, great benefits are reaped in the form of the saving of human life and property and in economic advantages of various kinds. One important purpose of(答案必须写在考点提供的答题纸上)科目代码：211总分值：100科目名称：翻译硕士英语the science of meteorology is constantly to strive, through advanced study and research, to increase our knowledge of the atmosphere with the aim of improving the accuracy of weather forecasts. The tools needed to advance our knowledge in this way are the disciplines of mathematics and physics applied to solve meteorological problems. The use of these tools forms that branch of the science called dynamic meteorology. .51.The best title for the passage is ____.A.The Basics of Dynamic MeteorologyB.The Limitations of Meteorological ForecastingC.Approaches to the Science of MeteorologyD.New Advances in Synoptic Meteorology52.Which of the following is not referred to by the author as a field whose needs areserved by weather forecasting?A.Sports.B. Transportation.C. Manufacturing.D. Farming.53.Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the thirdparagraph of the passage?A.Two contrasting views of a problem are presented.B.Recent scientific advancements are outlined in order of importance.C.A procedure is explained and its importance is emphasized.D.A problem is examined and possible solutions are given.54.The author implies that increased accuracy in weather forecasting will lead to____.A.greater protection of human lifeB.more funds allocated to meteorological researchC.a higher number of professional forecastersD.less-specialized forms of synoptic meteorology55.In the last sentence of the passage, the phrase "these tools" refers to____.A.mathematics and physicsB.weather forecastsC.meteorological problemsD.economic advantageQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Historians of women's labor in the United States at first largely disregarded the story of female service workers-women earning wages in occupations such as salesclerk, domestic servant, and office secretary. These historians focused instead on factory work, primarily because it seemed so different from traditional, unpaid women's work in the(答案必须写在考点提供的答题纸上)科目代码：211总分值：100科目名称：翻译硕士英语home, and because the underlying economic forces of industrialism were presumed to be gender-blind and hence emancipator in effect. Unfortunately, emancipation has been less profound than expected, for not even industrial wage labor has escaped continued sex segregation in the workplace.To explain this unfinished revolution in the status of women, historians have recently begun to emphasize the way a prevailing definition of femininity often determines the kinds of work allocated to women, even when such allocation is inappropriate to new conditions. For instance, early textile-mill entrepreneurs, in justifying women's employment in wage labor, made much of the assumption that women were by nature skillful at detailed tasks and patient in carrying out repetitive chores; the mill owners thus imported into the new industrial order hoary stereotypes associated with the homemaking activities they presumed to have been the purview of women. Because women accepted the more unattractive new industrial tasks more readily than did men, such jobs came to be regarded as female jobs. And employers, who assumed that women's "real" aspirations were for marriage and family lire, declined to pay women wages commensurate with those of men. Thus many lower-skilled, lower-paid, less secure jobs came to be perceived as "female".More remarkable than the original has been the persistence of such sex segregation in twentieth-century industry. Once an occupation came to be perceived as "female", employers showed surprisingly little interest in changing that perception, even when higher profits beckoned. And despite the urgent need of the United. States during the Second World War to mobilize its human resources fully, job segregation by sex characterized even the most important war industries. Moreover, once the war ended, employers quickly returned to men most of the "male" jobs that women had been permitted to master..56.According to the passage, job segregation by sex in the United States was ________.A.perpetuated by those textile-mill owners who argued in favor of women'semployment In wage laborB.one means by which women achieved greater job securityC.reluctantly challenged by employers except when the economic advantages wereobviousD.a constant source of labor unrest in the young textile industry57.According to the passage, historians of women's labor focused on factory work as amore promising area of research than service-sector work because factorywork________.A.involved the payment of higher wagesB.required skill in detailed tasksC.was assumed to be less characterized by sex segregationD.was more readily accepted by women than by men(答案必须写在考点提供的答题纸上)科目代码：211总分值：100科目名称：翻译硕士英语58.It can be inferred from the passage that the "unfinished revolution" the author mentionsin highlight text refers to the________.A.recognition that work done by women as homemakers should be compensated atrates comparable to those prevailing in the service sector of the economyB.development of a new definition of femininity unrelated to the economic forces ofindustrialismC.introduction of equal pay for equal work in all professionsD.emancipation of women wage earners from gender-determined job allocation.59.Which of the following words best expresses the opinion of the author of the passageconcerning the notion that women are more skillful than men in carrying out detailed tasks?A.patientB.repetitiveC.hoaryD.homemaking60.Which of the following statements is true about hiring policies in the United States?A.After a crisis many formerly "male" jobs are reclassified as "female" jobs.B.Industrial employers generally prefer to hire women with previous experience ashomemakers.C.Post-Second World War hiring policies caused women to lose many of theirwartime gains in employment opportunity.D.Even war industries during the Second World War were reluctant to hire women forfactory workPart III Writing (30 points)Directions:Based on the information given below, please write an essay of about 400 words on the Answer Sheet.

Read the passages carefully and then decide on the BEST choice.Write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(24points,2points each)Passage OneI remember meeting him one evening with his pushcart.I had managed to sell all my papers and was coming home in the snow.It was that strange hour in downtown New York when the workers were pouring homeward in the twilight.I marched among thousands of tired men and women whom the factory whistles had unyoked.They flowed in rivers through the clothing factory districts,then down along the avenues to the East Side.I met my father near Cooper Union.I recognized him,a hunched,frozen figure in an old overcoat standing by a banana cart.He looked so lonely,the tears came to my eyes.Then he saw me,and his face lit with his sad,beautiful smile—Charlie Chaplin’s smile.“Arch,it’s Mikey,”he said.“So you have sold your papers!Come and eat a banana.”He offered me one.I refused it.I felt it crucial that my father sell his bananas,not give them away.He thought I was shy,and coaxed and joked with me,and made me eat the banana.It smelled of wet straw and snow.“You haven’t sold many bananas today,pop,”I said anxiously.He shrugged his shoulders.“What can I do?No one seems to want them.”It was true.The work crowds pushed home morosely over the pavements.The rusty sky darkened over New York building,the tall street lamps were lit,innumerable trucks,street cars and elevated trains clattered by.Nobody and nothing in the great city stopped for my father’s bananas.“I ought to yell,”said my father dolefully.“I ought to make a big noise like other peddlers, but it makes my throat sore.Anyway,I’m ashamed of yelling,it makes me feel like a fool.”I had eaten one of his bananas.My sick conscience told me that I ought to pay for it somehow.I must remain here and help my father.“I’ll yell for you,pop,”I volunteered.“Arch,no,”he said,“go home;you have worked enough today.Just tell momma I’ll be late.”But I yelled and yelled.My father,standing by,spoke occasional words of praise,and said I was a wonderful yeller.Nobody else paid attention.The workers drifted past us wearily, endlessly;a defeated army wrapped in dreams of home.Elevated trains crashed;the CooperUnion clock burned above us;the sky grew black,the wind poured,the slush burned through our shoes.There were thousands of strange,silent figures pouring over the sidewalks in snow.None of them stopped to buy bananas.I yelled and yelled,nobody listened.My father tried to stop me at last.“Nu,”he said smiling to console me,“that was wonderful yelling.Mikey.But it’s plain we are unlucky today!Let’s go home.”I was frantic,and almost in tears.I insisted on keeping up my desperate yells.But at last my father persuaded me to leave with him.1.The word“unyoked”in the first paragraph describes the city workers’________.[A]eagerness to go home[B]passivity and coldness[C]harsh living situation[D]happiness of release from work2.Which of the following is intended to be a pair of contrast in the passage?[A]Huge crowds and lonely individuals.[B]Weather conditions and street lamps.[C]Clattering trains and peddlers’yells.[D]Moving crowds and street traffic.3.Which of the following statements is NOT suitable to describe the character of the son?[A]He is compassionate towards people around him,not only his father.[B]He feels a strong sense of responsibility for his father’s duty.[C]He is shy in yelling to sell bananas.[D]He is quite determined and loving.4.What is the main theme of the story?[A]The misery of the factory workers.[B]The difficulties to survive in a harsh environment.[C]Generation gap between the father and the son.[D]Love between the father and the son.Passage TwoFrom the health point-of-view we are living in a marvelous age.We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases.A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery.It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases.The expectation of life has increased enormously.But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before,every day we witness the incredible slaughter of men,women and children on the roads.Man versus the motor-car!It is a never-ending battle which man is losing.Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel,his car becomes the extension of his personality.There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities.People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel.They swear,they are ill-mannered and aggressive,willful as two-year-olds and utterly selfish.All their hidden frustrations,disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behavior.Everything is done for his convenience.Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy tragic;towns are made ugly by huge car parks;the countryside is desecrated by road networks;and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic,to be conveniently forgotten.It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life.With regard to driving,the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough.A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate.Here are a few examples of something that might be done.The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is;all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so;the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least21;all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety.Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a person’s driving ability.Present drinking and driving laws(where they exist)should be made much stricter.Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all ernments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers,as has been done in the USA.All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned.These measures may sound inordinately harsh.But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the annual toll of human life.After all,the world is for human beings,not for motor-cars.5.The main idea of this passage is________.[A]Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists[B]Thousands of people the world over are killed each year[C]The laws of some countries about driving are too lax[D]Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents6.What does the author think of society toward motorists?[A]Society smiles on the motorists.[B]Victims of accidents are nothing.[C]Society condones their rude driving.[D]Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns.7.What does the author mean by“his car becomes the extension of his personality”?[A]Driving can show his real self.[B]Driving can show the other part of his personality.[C]Driving can bring out his character.[D]His car embodies his temper.8.Which of the followings is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?[A]Build more highways.[B]Stricter driving tests.[C]Test drivers every three years.[D]Raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.Passage ThreeThe first clue came when I got my hair cut.The stylist offered not just the usual coffee or tea but a complimentary nail-polish change while I waited for my hair to dry.Maybe she hoped this little amenity would slow the growing inclination of women to stretch each haircut to last four months while nursing our hair back to whatever natural colour we long ago forgot.Then there was the appliance salesman who offered to carry my bags as we toured the microwave aisle.When I called my husband to ask him to check some specs online,the salesman offered a pre-emptive discount,lest the surfing turn up the same model cheaper in another store. That night,for the first time,I saw the Hyundai ad promising shoppers that if they buy a car and then lose their job in the next year,they can return it．Suddenly everything’s on sale.The upside to the economic downturn is the immense incentive it gives retailers to treat you like a queen for a day.During the flush times,salespeople were surly, waiters snobby.But now the customer rules,just for showing up.There’s more room to stretch out on the flight,even in a coach.The malls have that serene aura of undisturbed wilderness,with scarcely a shopper in sight.Every conversation with anyone selling anything is a pantomime of pain and bluff.Finger the scarf,then start to walk away,and its price floats silkily downward.When the mechanic calls to tell you that brakes and a timing belt and other services will run close to$2,000, it’s time to break out the newly perfected art of the considered pause.You really don’t even have to say anything pitiful before he’ll offer to knock a few hundred dollars off.Restaurants are also caught in a fit of ardent hospitality,especially around Wall Street:Trinity Place offers$3drinks at happy hour any day the market goes down,with the slogan“Market tanked?Get tanked!”—which ensures a lively crowd for the closing bell.The“21”Club has decided that men no longer need to wear ties,so long as they bring their wallets.Food itself is friendlier:you notice more comfort food,a truce between chef and patron that is easier to enjoy now that you can get a table practically anywhere.New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni characterizes the new restaurant demeanor as“extreme solicitousness tinged with outright desperation.”“You need to hug the customer,”one owner told him.There’s a chance that eventually we’ll return all this kindness with the extravagant spendingthat was once decried but now everyone is hoping will restart the economy.But human nature is funny that way.In dangerous times,we clench and squint at the deal that looks too good to miss, suspecting that it must be too good to be true.Is the store with the super cheap flat screens going to go bust and thus not be there to honor the“free”extended warranty?Is there something wrong with that free cheese?Store owners will tell you horror stories about shoppers with attitude,who walk in demanding discounts and flaunt their new power at every turn.These store owners wince as they sense bad habit forming:Will people expect discounts forever?Will their hard-won brand luster be forever cheapened,especially for items whose allure depends on their being ridiculously priced?There will surely come a day when things go back to“normal”;retail sales even inched up in January after sinking for the previous six months.But I wonder what it will take for US to see those $545Sigerson Morrison studded toe-ring sandals as reasonable?Bargain-hunting can be addictive regardless of the state of the markets,and haggling is a low-risk,high-value contact sport.Trauma digs deep into habit,like my85-year-old mother still calling her canned-goods cabinet“the bomb shelter.”The children of the First Depression were saving string and preaching sacrifice long after the skies cleared.They came to be called the“greatest generation”.As we learn to be decent stewards of our resources,who knows what might come of it?We have lived in an age of wanton waste,and there is value in practicing conservation that goes far beyond our own bottom line.9．According to the passage,what does“the first clue”suggest?[A]Shops try all kinds of means to please customers.[B]Shops,large or small,are offering big discounts.[C]Women tend to have their hair cut less frequently.[D]Customers refrain from buying things impulsively.10.Which of the following best depicts the retailers now?[A]Bad-tempered.[B]Highly motivated.[C]Over friendly.[D]Deeply frustrated.11.What does the author mean by“the newly perfected art of the considered pause”?[A]Customers now rush to buy things on sale.[B]Customers have got a sense of superiority.[C]Customers have learned how to bargain.[D]Customers have higher demands for service.12.What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?[A]Extravagant spending would boost economic growth.[B]One’s life experience would turn into lifelong habits.[C]Customers should expect discounts for luxury goods.[D]The practice of frugality is of great importance.Part Two:Answer the QuestionsDirections:In this part,you are going to read one passage.Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions following the passage.Write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(16 points,4points each)When I meet people for the first time,they sometimes quote back to me a line in my speech at the2004Democratic National Convention that seemed to strike a chord:“There is not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America—there’s the United States of America.”For them,it seems to capture a vision of America finally freed from the past of Jim Crow and slavery,Japanese internment camps and Mexico braceros,workplace tensions and cultural conflict—an America that fulfills Dr.King’s promise that we be judged not by the color of our skin but the content of our character.In a sense,I have no choice but to believe in this vision of America.As the child of a black man and a white woman,someone who was born in the racial melting pot of Hawaii,with a sister who’s half Indonesian but who’s usually mistaken for Mexican or Puerto Rican,and a brother-in-law and niece of Chinese descent,with some blood relatives who resemble Margaret Thatcher and others who could pass for Bernie Mac,so that family get-togethers over Christmas take on the appearance of a UN General Assembly meeting,I’ve never had the option of restricting my loyalties on the basis of race,or measuring my worth on the basis of tribe.Understanding this reality requires a reminder of how we arrived at this point.As William Faulkner once wrote,“The past isn’t dead and buried.In fact,it isn’t even past.”We do not need to recite here the history of racial injustice in this country.But we do need to remind ourselves that so many of the disparities that exist between the African-American community and a larger American community today can be traced directly to inequalities passed on from an earlier generation that suffered under the brutal legacy of slavery and Jim Crow.Segregated schools were,and are,inferior schools;we still haven’t fixed them,fifty years after Brown vs.Board of Education,and the inferior education they provided,then and now,helps explain the pervasive achievement gap between today’s black and white students.Moreover,I believe that part of America’s genius has always shown its ability to absorb newcomers,to forge a national identity out of the disparate lot that arrived on our shores.In this we’ve been aided by a Constitution that—despite being marred by the original sin of slavery—has at its very core the idea of equal citizenship under the law;and an economic system that,more than any other,has offered opportunity to all comers,regardless of status or title or rank.Of course, racism and nativist sentiments have repeatedly undermined these ideals;the powerful and the privileged have often exploited or stirred prejudice to further their own ends.But in the hands of reformers,from Tubman to Douglass to Chavez to King,these ideals of equality have gradually shaped how we understand ourselves and allowed us to form a multicultural nation the like of which exists nowhere else on earth.Questions:13.What is the main theme of the speech?14.Why does the speaker say that his family together is like UN General Assembly?15.Why does the speaker think it important to form a multicultural nation?16.What are the possible major factors that have led to so many disparities between theAfrican-American community and a larger American community today?Section Three WritingDirections:The revolutionary online application ChatGPT has brought immense concerns to the education field.Foreign language teachers were among the most anxious,exacerbated by the extensive media coverage buzzing about its capabilities.Some teachers and educational administrators see ChatGPT as opening Pandora’s box,posing threats to students’development of critical thinking and writing abilities.Some argue that ChatGPT offers major opportunities for teachers and learners to improve second/foreign language teaching and learning,especially towards a more personalized learning experience.Thus,how the chatbot can be harnessed by learners and teachers become a question.Write a composition of about400words on the topic of “My attitude towards the use of ChatGPT in English learning”.You may use a subtitle to guide your writing.Write your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.(30points)Note:In the first part of your writing you should state clearly the thesis statement(i.e.,your main argument), and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details.In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.Marks will be awarded for content, organization,grammar and appropriateness.Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.。

Marks will be awarded for faithfulness and appropriateness. Please write all your translations on the Answer Sheet .In Oriental countries houses are most commonly built of local sun-dried brick or of timber. Japan is probably the country where the houses have retained their characteristic structure and appearance with fewest changes. The traditional house has a timber frame and the wall and partitions (间壁) are light screens of paper, bamboo, or similar material. Such a light construction is suited to a climate and is less dangerous in earthquakes than heavy materials would be.In warm countries people live much more out of doors than in the north, and consequently, the houses are simpler and more barely furnished. In Japanese houses the dimensions of all the rooms are based on those of the mats with which all floors are covered. The mat is always of the same size, so that each room is so many mats wide and so many long, thus making all houses consistent in scale and proportions. A similar standardization is beginning to appear in Western buildings with the increasing use of factory-made building components—walls, doors, and so on—of standard sizes and shapes.In the United States of America houses have changed as social customs changed. At first, Americanhouses followed the patterns brought from Europe by the early immigrants, but, since timber was the most easily obtainable material, boarded walls and shingle roofs largely replaced bricks and tiles. Lately, different regions have evolved their own methods of house building to suit local conditions; for instance, a low rambling house with widely spreading eaves, extending into loggias (走廊) and terraces, is typical of the Pacific coast. In addition, the plan of the house has begun to change as the American way of life has diverged more and more from the Europe. Houses are less formal, and rooms merge one into the other, providing more space for general family life and fewer rooms for special purpose.考研专业课(答案必须写在考点提供的答题纸上)科目代码：861 总分值：150 科目名称：英汉互译III.
