上海理工大学课程练习试题*Please translate the following into Chinese (or English) .1.Energy is usually and most simply defined as the equivalent of or capacity for doing work. Energycan either be associated with a material body, as in a coiled spring or a moving object, or it can be independent of matter, as light and other electromagnetic radiation traversing a vacuum. The energy in a system may be only partly available for use. The dimensions of energy are those of work, which, in classical mechanics, is defined formally as the product of mass(m) and the square of the ratio of length(l) to time(t). This means that the greater the mass or the distance through which it is moved or the less the time taken to move the mass, the greater will be the work done, or the greater the energy expended.能量通常也是最简单地定义成或等价于做工能力。

Each word can only be usedvery unusual. The camel, for example, can __41__and bear an increase in the temperature of its body and its blood of 9℃without anything bad happening to it. In addition, it can drink a lot of water at one time; then store enough water in parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more. The kangaroo rat, on the other hand, gets all the water it needs from water that it produces when it __42__. However, most animals need to maintain a __43__ constant body temperature, and will die if it rises more than 5℃. Therefore, they need to find some way to stay away from the heat of the summer sun. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat can. So they must find ways to keep their bodies from losing water because of the heat. Because very few desert animals can survive the high temperature of a __44__summer’s day, most of them are __45__only in the night. The desert comes fully to life only after the sun has __46__. The night is relatively cool, and the darkness provides__47__, not only from the sun, but also from other animals and from the birds. So the coming of darkness is the __48__for the large majority of animals and insects to start again their search for water and food. When morning comes, most of them seek shelter again: many go underground; __49__ all find some dark and cool places where they can keep away from the sun’s heat.Ⅲ.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage your have just read.(A)Ralph and Ilene hadn’t been to a baseball game in about five years. They lived only 15 miles from the stadium, but the heavy traffic on game day made those 15 miles seem more like 60 miles. It took themabout an hour to get to the stadium. Then, when the game was over, it took half an hour just to get out of the parking lot. Then the drive home was another hour. In other words, the traveling took longer than the game itself.One day, they decided to go to a game. They drove south on the 110 freeway. The 110 is California’s original freeway, full of twists and turns. Accidents occur daily. California drivers think yellow lights and sharp curves mean the same thing—speed up!The traffic was lighter than they expected. They arrived at the stadium 40 minutes before game time. They paid the $8 parking fee, parked and locked the car, and walked to the main entrance.Several individuals were standing around outside the stadium, looking casual but actually selling tickets secretly. They walked over to a man in a red cap.Ralph’s instincts were correct. The man had tickets for good seats at a fair price. Ralph gave the man $45 and thanked him.“Don’t thank me, my friend. Put your hands behind your back, please. You’re under arrest.”“What?” Ralph was astonished. “What’s going on?”“Buying scalped tickets(黄牛票) is illegal in Los Angeles, and we’ve got a new mayor who wants us to enforce all the laws that bring in money.” said the man. “Don’t worry. We’ll have you back here right after we book you. You can pay the $150 fine with your credit card. Have a nice day. Oh, and enjoy the game!”65. Why didn’t Ralph and Ilene go to the baseball game very often?A.Because they were not very interested in baseball.B.Because they lived far away from the stadium.C.Because it was often hard to find a place to park.D.Because it was time-consuming to go there.66. Why did many accidents occur on the 110 freeway according to the passage?A. Because the traffic lights were broken.B. Because traffic was heavy there.C. Because people always drove too fast.D. Because the road conditions were poor.67. By saying “Ralph’s instincts were correct,” the author means that ________.A. Ralph was lucky enough to get two tickets right before the game startedB. Ralph identified the right person who offered tickets at reasonable pricesC. Ralph was good at bargaining so that he got the tickets at a fair priceD. Ralph was wise enough to choose the best two tickets from the man68. What is the man in a red cap?A. A ticket dealer.B. Mayor of the city.C. A robber.D. A police officer.(B)It is generally accepted that every experience teaches the child something and the effects are cumulative. “Upbringing” is normally used to refer to the treatment and training of the child within the home. This is closely related to the treatment and training of the child in school, which is usually distinguished by the term “education”. In a society such as o urs, both parents and teachers are responsible for the opportunities provided for the development of the child, so that upbringing and education are interdependent.The ideals and practices of child rearing vary from culture to culture. In general, the more rural the community, the more uniform are the customs of child upbringing. In more technologically developed societies, the period of childhood and adolescence tends to be extended over a long time, resulting in more opportunity for education and greater variety in character development.Early upbringing in the home is naturally affected both by the cultural pattern of the community and by the parents’ capabilities and their aims and depends not only on upbringing and education but also on the innate(天生的) abilities of the child.Intelligent parents, however, realize that the particular setting of each family is unique, and there can be no rigid general rules.All parents have to solve the problems of freedom and discipline. The younger the child, the more readily the mother gives in to his demands to avoid disappointing him. She knows that if his energies are not given an outlet, her child’s continuing development may be warped(扭曲).A child must be allowed to enjoy this “messy” but tactile (触觉的) stage of discovery before he is ready to go on to the less physical pleasures of toys and books. Similarly, throughout life, each stage depends on the satisfactory completion of the one before.69. The word “cumulative” in Line 2 most probably means .A. decisiveB. progressively greaterC. strongD. extremely beneficial70. It can be seen from the passage that .A. upbringing and education are mutually complementaryB. by no means does the technological factor affect the dev elopment of children’s characterC. there are advisable rules for parents to go by in bringing up their childrenD. the cultural pattern is the single factor that affects a child’s upbringing in the home71. A child’s development might well be badly affected if .A. he were brought up in a happy environmentB. his mother often gave in to his demandsC. his energies were freely given an outletD. he had to follow unusually strict rules.72. As it is presented in the passage, rather than a smooth progression the development of the humancharacter and personality is a series of .A. actsB. completionsC. functionsD. stagesSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The West began to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous work re-assessing (再评价) the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some respectable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were doubtful at first. China’s invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been quarreled, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where an unchanged society under a relatively kind regime（政治制度）of upper classes contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and energetic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid theWest’s mistakes?(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)73. So far, _________________volumes have been published.74. When was the first volume published?75. The subject of this five-volume work is _______________________________________.76. According to the passage, what are the probable reasons for China not keeping up with the west?IV. Writing (20%)Section ADirection: Choose one of the words and expressions from the box to complete each sentence in their proper78. That American’s policy makers might be considering such a change isn't ____________.79. Many citizens, especially the young, have been leaving Gonaives ____________ a better life in other parts of Haiti or abroad.80. He became restless when his wife failed to _________81. Some of their decisions have stood the test of time; others ____________new developments.82. The incident ____________ something of a craze in financial and journalistic circles, including widespread condemnations(谴责) of citizen journalism.Section BDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.83. 我发现很难用语言来表达我的感情。

For each question there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage1When Mrs.Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna,Austria,people asked the obvious,“Why did she live to be107?”Answers were provided by a survey conducted among148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of100.Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities.In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place,city living often provides benefits that country living can lack.One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿)of those interviewed.This factor is exercise.In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus.Even taking public transportation often requires some walking.Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(电梯),and so people must climb stairs.City people can usually walk to local supermarkets.Since parking spaces are hard to find,there is often no alternative to walking.On the other hand,those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact,the opposite is often true.To go to school,work,or almost anywhere else,they must ride in cars.11.The Vienna survey may help to explain______.A.the complaints of people in apartment housesB.the cause of Mrs.Groeger’s deathC.the longevity of people like Mrs.GroegerD.the image of cities in general12.The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some______.A.benefits of walkingB.occasions for walking in city lifements made by city peopleD.problems of city living13.A.To reach the third floor of a building,it would probably be most healthful_____.A.to take the elevatorB.to walk up the stairsC.to ride in a carD.to find an alternative to walking14.People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because___.A.they don’t live near business areasB.they don’t need the exerciseC.they never have parking problemsD.they can’t afford to take the bus15.A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that______.A.air pollution is not seriousB.anyone can live to be107C.country people should move to the cityD.walking is a healthful exercisePassage2For any Englishman,there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist(剧作家).Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him:that of William Shakespeare.Every Englishman has some knowledge,however slight,of the work of our great writer.All of us use words,phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people.Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used,rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer,makes full use of the great recourses of the English language.Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety if the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it.Such a study is well worth the effort(it is not,of course,recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of English usage,and the meaning of many words,have changed since Shakespeare’s day.16.English people_____.A.have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatistB.never discuss any issue concerning the world’s greatest dramatistC.are sure who is the world’s greatest dramatistD.do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and dramatist17.Every Englishman knows______.A.more or less about ShakespeareB.Shakespeare,but only slightlyC.all Shakespeare’s writingsD.only the name of the greatest English writer18.A.Which of the following is true?A.We use all the words,phrases an quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B.Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those are learning to speak English.C.It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they use.D.All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare,19.What does the word“Proverb”mean?A.Familiar sayingsB.Shakespeare’s playsplaintsD.Actors and actresses.20.Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English?A.English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s time.B.By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.C.English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s time.D.Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.Passage3Trees are useful to man in three very important ways:they provide him wood andother products;they give him shade;and they help to prevent drought(干旱)and floods.Unfortunately,in many parts of the world,man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important.In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees,he has cut them down in large numbers.Two thousand years ago,a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire.It gained the empire but,without its trees,its soil became bare and poor.When the empire fell to pieces,the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees,it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this.They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees.So,unless the government has a good system of control,or can educate the people,the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees.The results are even more serious:forwhere there are trees,their roots break the soil up,allowing the rain to sink in,and also bind the soil.This prevents the soil from being washed away.But where there are no trees,the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface,and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow.When all the topsoil is gone,nothing remains but worthless desert.21.Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways,most important of which is that they can _____.A.keep him from the hot sunshineB.enable him to build warshipsC.make him draw quick profit from themD.protect him from droughts and floods22.It is a great pity that_____.A.man is only interested in building empiresB.man is eager to profit from treesC.man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to him.D.man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees.23.Sooner or later the forests will disappear_____.A.unless a country has a plenty supply of treesB.unless people stop cutting down their treesC.unless all people are taught the importance of planting treesD.unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them24.The word“bind”in Paragraph5means“_____”.A.to wash awayB.to make wetC.to make stay togetherD.to improve25.When there is a heavy rain,trees can help to prevent floods,as they can_____.A.keep rain from falling down to soft groundB.cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink inC.prevent the soil from being washed awayD.make the topsoil stick togetherPart III.Vocabulary and Structure(25points)Section ADirections:In this section there are15incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.26.TOEFL is a test for

上海理工大学插班生题型英语作文
上海理工大学插班生题型英语作文Here's an English essay of around 2,000 words written from the perspective of an elementary school student about being a transfer student at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology:Being a Transfer Kid at the Big UniversityHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. I just started going to this really big university called the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology. It's a huge place with lots of buildings and students all over the place. At first, I was really nervous about being the only little kid there, but it's actually been a lot of fun so far!You're probably wondering how a little kid like me ended up at a university. Well, it's a pretty crazy story! You see, my parents are both super smart scientists who work at the university. One day, they were doing some experiment in the lab and there was a huge explosion. When the smoke cleared, I had somehow gotten zapped with a ton of knowledge about science, math, and all kinds of other subjects.My parents couldn't believe it! I was suddenly able to understand really complicated things and solve difficult mathproblems in my head. They quickly realized that the normal elementary school wouldn't be challenging enough for my new super brain. That's when they came up with the idea of enrolling me at the university as a transfer student. At first, the Dean thought they were pulling her leg, but after giving me a few tests she agreed that I belonged there.So here I am, the youngest student on campus by about 10 years! On my first day, I have to admit I was a little intimidated by the hugeness of everything. The buildings are massive, the classrooms are ginormous, and the cafeteria is the size of a football field. And that's not even mentioning the library, which is basically a whole city made of books. Getting around was pretty confusing too, thank goodness for the maps they gave me or I'd probably still be wandering around lost.Despite being tiny, I've been holding my own just fine in classes so far. The subjects aren't too hard for me to grasp, although it can sometimes be tricky when professors use big fancy words I'm not familiar with. I just put my hand up and ask them to explain it in simpler terms. My personal favorite classes are physics, where we learn about how the world works, and mathematics, because I'm a total numbers nerd.A lot of the other students were definitely surprised at first to have a little kid in their classes. I could sense some of them thinking "What's that kindergartner doing here?" But once they saw me whipping through the problems on the board, I earned their respect pretty quickly. I've actually made a bunch of new friends who think my situation is really cool. They call me the little professor, and are super nice about explaining things I don't understand.Despite a few mini frustrations, I'm having a total blast being a transfer kid on this huge campus. Sure, it's a bit bizarre waddling around surrounded by students ten times my size. But I get to learn so much cool stuff every single day. The professors are funny and super smart, my new friends are great, and my future is looking exceptionally bright. Who knows, maybe by the time I'm 10 I'll have my first PhD under my belt!At the end of the day, being small hasn't stopped me from pursuing my passion for knowledge in a big way. I may stick out like a sore thumb, but I've proved that brains have no relation to size. If a little kid can thrive at an elite university, just imagine what else I could end up achieving one day. The friendly giants here have been welcoming and supportive every step of the wayon my crazy journey. Keep reaching for the stars, my friends - this little transfer kid is destined for great things!。

These experiences have undoubtedly enhanced my employability and prepared me for the competitive job market. Paragraph 4: Furthermore, the campus environment at Shanghai Polytechnic University is conducive to personal development. The university offers a range of extracurricular activities and student organizationsthat cater to diverse interests and talents. Joining clubs and societies enabled me to meet like-minded individuals, foster friendships, and develop leadership qualities. These experiences not only enriched my university life but also contributed to my personal growth and self-confidence. Paragraph 5: The support and guidance provided by the faculty and staff at Shanghai Polytechnic University have been instrumental in my journey as an international transfer student. The professors' expertise and dedication to teaching have inspired me to strive for excellence. Additionally, the university's international student services office has been a valuable resource, offering assistance with visa matters, accommodation, and cultural integration. The sense of belonging and community fostered by the university has made my transition as an international student seamless and rewarding.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Ralph and Ilene hadn’ t been to a baseball game in about five years. livedTheyonly 15 miles from the stadium, but the heavy traffic on game day made those 15 miles seem more like 60 miles. It took them about an hour to get to the stadium. Then, when the game was over, it took half anhour just to get out of the parking lot. Then the drive home was another hour. In other words, thetraveling took longer than the game itself.One day, they decided to go to a game.They drove south on the 110 freeway. The 110 isCalifornia original’s freeway, full of twists and turns. Accidents occur daily . California driversthink yellow lights and sharp curves mean the same thing — speed up!The traffic was lighter than they expected. They arrived at the stadium 40 minutes beforegame time. They paid the $8 parking fee, parked and locked the car, and walked to the main entrance.Several individuals were standing around outside the stadium, looking casual but actually selling tickets secretly. They walked over to a man in a red cap.Ralph ’ instincts were correct. The man had tickets for good seats at a fair price. Ralph gave the man $45 and thanked him.“ Don’ t thank me, my friend. Putoury hands behind your back, please. You’ re under arrest.”“ What? ” Ralph was astonished.“ What’ s going on?”“ Buyingscalped tickets(黄牛票 ) is illegal in Los Angeles, and we’ ve got a new mayor who wants us to enforce all the laws that bring in money. ” saidthe man.“ Don’ t worry. We’ ll have you back here right after we book you. You can pay the $150 fine with your credit card. Have a niceday. Oh, and enjoy the game!”65.Why didn ’tRalph and Ilene go to the baseball game very often?A.Because they were not very interested in baseball.B.Because they lived far away from the stadium.C.Because it was often hard to find a place to park.D.Because it was time-consuming to go there.66.Why did many accidents occur on the 110 freeway according to the passage?A. Because the traffic lights were broken.B. Because traffic was heavy there.C. Because people always drove too fast.D. Because the road conditions were poor.67.By saying “Ralph’s instincts were correct,”the author means that________. A. Ralph was lucky enough to get two tickets right before the game startedB. Ralph identified the right person who offered tickets at reasonable pricesC. Ralph was good at bargaining so that he got the tickets at a fair priceD. Ralph was wise enough to choose the best two tickets from the man68.What is the man in a red cap?A. A ticket dealer.B. Mayor of the city.C. A robber.D. A police officer.(B)It is generally accepted that every experience teaches the child something and the effects are cumulative.“Upbringing”is normally used to refer to the treatment and training of the child within the home. This is closely related to the treatment and training of the child in school, which is usually distinguished by the term “education”. In a society such as ours, both parents and teachers are responsible for the opportunities provided for the development of the child, so that upbringing and education are interdependent.The ideals and practices of child rearing vary from culture to culture. In general, the morerural the community, the more uniform are the customs of child upbringing. In more technologically developed societies, the period of childhood and adolescence tends to be extended over a long time, resulting in more opportunity for education and greater variety in characterdevelopment.Early upbringing in the home is naturally affected both by the cultural pattern of the community and by the parents ’capabilities and their aims and depends not only on upbringing and education but also on the innate( 天生的 ) abilities of the child.Intelligent parents, however, realize that the particular setting of each family is unique, and there can be no rigid general rules.All parents have to solve the problems of freedom and discipline. The younger the child, the more readily the mother gives in to his demands to avoid disappointing him. She knows that if his energies are not given an outlet, her child ’s continuing development may be warped( 扭曲 ).A child must be allowed to enjoy this“messy”but tactile (触觉的) stage of discovery before he is ready to go on to the less physical pleasures of toys and books. Similarly, throughout life, each stage depends on the satisfactory completion of the one before.69. The word “cumulative” in Line 2 most probably means.A. decisiveB. progressively greaterC. strongD. extremely beneficial70. It can be seen from the passage that.A. upbringing and education are mutually complementaryB. by no means does the technological factor affect the development of children ’scharacterC. there are advisable rules for parents to go by in bringing up their childrenD. the cultural pattern is the single factor that affects a child’s upbringing in the home71. A child ’s development might well be badly affected if.A. he were brought up in a happy environmentB. his mother often gave in to his demandsC. his energies were freely given an outletD. he had to follow unusually strict rules.72. As it is presented in the passage, rather than a smooth progression the development of the human character and personality is a series of.A. actsB. completionsC. functionsD. stagesSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The West began to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous work re-assessing (再评价 ) the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some respectable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were doubtful at first. China’s invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been quarreled, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where an unchanged society under arelatively kind regime（政治制度） of upper classes contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and energetic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year.

1.Would you please tell me some of your best memories in the past semester?Yeah, that’s amazing. These memories are more than dramatic. My initial plan was continuing my study in Peking. However, the fate distributed me to Shanghai instead. You know, Shanghai is the largest city in China. So, sometimes I feel lonely and feel myself so invisible when I walk through the crowds or wander through the skyscrapers. But fortunately, I met them, my roommates. We eat together, learn together , travel together. Though we came from different places, we are like a family. And one more thing that makes me feel pleased is that our campus is so beautiful. There are a lot of old buildings, high trees, and peaceful paths. All of them make it a wonderful environment for study. The most important thing is that in the past semester, I learned a lot of practical knowledge, like program writing , experiment analysis and so on. These will provide me with better chance to find a good job. Anyway, the past half year is extraordinary for me and I learned a lot.2.As graduates who are getting more and more mature and rational, what kind ofoutlook on life and the world shall we adopt?In the past 20 years, I lived in the world of my own, just like everything turned around me. I took less care of the inner thoughts of our parents. I thought I was my parents’ good boy, but actually, I do nothing for them. I keep asking them for something but give them nothing. They always stand by my side without any word or complaint. Now, I have grown up, and they have grown old. As a graduate, as an adult, I’m 24 years old now, I wanna give my parents more. I try giving them a call everyday and tell them something about my life and study. I will send them little gifts. I will pay attention to their needs. Just like most people born in our generation, I have no brothers or sisters, so I know I play an important role in my parents’ life. Maybe that’s my responsibility, I must give them a happy life.3.Nowadays fewer and fewer people are willing to pursue the career of teaching. Whatare the causes of this phenomenon? When you graduate, would you like to be a teacher?It's a very common phenomenon in China. Nowadays, a lot of people have a strong will to pursue a civil servant but few of them wanna be a teacher. On one hand, the salary is lower than any other civil servant job. The low salary can just meet the standard life needs. On the other hand, the workload is pretty high. Teachers need to spare no effort on students. So they have less time to care their own family. The pressure make them feel tired. For myself, I really hope I could be a teacher one day. Because I like children and I wanna communicate with more young people. Therefore, I will feel myself is full of energy. To tell the truth, I also care the salary level. But I prefer to chase my interest, rather than the money. I believe that I will keep a good balance between my own life and teaching life. That’s amazing life.4.Please list three factors which may influence your choice of an ideal job and explainwhy the three factors top your list.First of all, interest. It’s better that if I find a job, I’m interested in it. Otherwise I will easily feel tired for long working hours. You know, interest is the best teacher. I will be more happy and won’t feel tired to do something I’m interested in. If something I work is dull, I think I won’t insist on doing it. Secondly, salary. Low salary will not satisfy one’s daily needs. I need enough money to live better. I need to buy a apartment. I need to marry. I need to feed a baby. All things cannot run without money. Thirdly, the prospect of the company. I hope that the company I choose has a better prospect so that I can get a better chance of promotion. Besides, I hope I can learn more technology and something about business from the company so that I can promote my working ability.Unit Five5.What are the necessary qualities for building better human relations?First of all, honesty. The foundation of harmony for human being, I think, is honesty. Unless we are honest to our friends, our friends will be honest to us. I trust you, you trust me. So you won’t see cheating things in our world. Secondly, responsibility. Young people need to have responsibility no matter in campus or society. We are obliged to be responsible for what we've said or done. A man who have responsibility is really a man and people always like him. Thirdly, humor. Humor is a bridge of the friends' communication. So I can know you easily and you know me easily, too. The humor can make a harmonious atmosphere when we talk about something. A humorous guy will find a easy way to communicate with others.6.Do you think too much love from one's parents could probably become a heavyburden on one's mind？Why/Why not?To some extend, too much love from parents do give children some burden. The more they give us, the more pressure we will get. For example, many parents insist on taking their children to the after-class lessons like mathematics, English, art, music and so on. They do this for fear of not catching up with others. These lessons greatly cut down their leisure time. They need to learn different kinds of subjects and they have no time to enjoy their childhood. Also, parents don't let children do the things that they are interested in in order to make them focus on study. It really influence the development of their characteristic. But, anyway, all things they do is because they love us. We should not complain about these and we should think in parents’ perspective.Unit Seven7.Do you prefer online shopping or in-store shopping? What are the pros and cons ofonline shopping and in-store shopping?I prefer on-line shopping. There are some pros and cons for both online and in-store shopping. Pros:1.On-line shopping allows you to avoid those holiday mall crowds and checkout lines. Drive to stores and find that parking wastes more expensive fuels.2.It is also available to save more time.3.Shopping online allows you to compare products and prices between retailers with a couple clicks of the mouse.Cons:1．On the other hand, there are often shipping and handling fees associated with online shopping that don’t come with in-store purchases.2．There’s always a delay in receiving your purchases.3．You can’t personally exa mine the product you are buying like you can in-store. This is especially important with clothing and footwear.8.For a graduate student, what do you think is the main importance of the internet?I think the most importance of the internet is that it can help us improve our ability to learn independently. During the graduate period, we always need to study by ourselves.We need the internet to find out what we want, it is very convenient. For example, when I want to find a document, do not have to go to the library, directly on the internet to find it. Besides,our society is filled with all kinds of information nowadays. The development of internet and computer technology make a far-reaching influence on the information spreading. So we can know the society and employment situation through the internet. And then we know what we need to improve our skills so that we can get a good job when we graduate.Unit Ten9.In your opinion, we work to live or live to work?We know that we have to work almost every day in our life, so we have to think that we work to live or live to work. Why we are alive? From the day we are born, we know that our parents give us life, there are lots of responsibilities we have to take, so we work hard to have a better life, only in this way can we have a better development in the future, we may build a family, we may have a baby, our relatives rely on us. It's likely that responsibilities will be our motivation to work. On this condition, we lived extremely happily and just take work as an entertainment. From what have been mentioned above, I just want to say, I work to live. Personally, each view is right, as long as people will have a better life in the future.10.For young people, do you think what factors may lead to their overwork? Is itpossible for them to balance work and life?Unit Eleven11.Western writers and scholars from the 19th century onwards commonly attributed thefollowing four inventions to China，i.e. paper making, printing, the compass and gunpowder. What kind of role do these Chinese four great inventions play in world civilization?The “Four Great Inventions” have made fabulous contributions to world civilization.Great inventions in the human's civilization of the important position lead China to become one of the symbols of ancient civilization. Paper-making has a far-reaching influence on the world culture, which has promoted the spread and reservation of history. Gunpowder is helpful to the development of mining industry. The invention of compass is a great tool when Zhenghe and other western sailors navigate the ocean. Printing has greatly enhanced the efficiency of information spreading, which has benefited the revolution in Europe.12.What do you think is the greatest invention in this century? And explain why.I think the greatest invention in this century is the smart-phone. You can hear of the two bands , APPLE and SANSUNG. In 2007, Apple introduced the iPhone, which instantly became one of the most hot consumer products ever. Nowadays we can see every person got a cell phone in their hands. Cell phone was no longer a tool just for sending short massages or making cell phone calls, because the smart-phone have changed things considerably. In other words, we can say this is an smart-phone time. For example, the iPhone was such a best-seller, it was sold out almost everywhere for many weeks, and still continues to be essentially the most preferred cellphones on the market. Our lifestyle has been altered greatly with the help of smart-phone, and it makes our work a lot easier.。
