全国公共英语等级4写作
全国公共英语等级4写作part 1Teachers pay little attention to those school failures, assuming that academic failure means failure in everything. What do you think of this attitude? Write a short argumentative essay(about 300 words) explaining your view.Since the 1980s, there has been heated discussion on the correlation between the academic failure and the sustainable development of a child. Some teachers emphasize that academic failure will deprive a student of any opportunity to further his college education, thus bringing about disastrous changes to his prospective career. However, through numerous practices and observations, it turns out that their statement has many restrictions.Admittedly, the idea held by those arguers does contain an element of truth. For example, the repeated academic failure will definitely leave a man frustrated, hence often casting a shadow on his mood. But these arguers tend to ignore two other essential aspects. First, they fail to take into account the possibility that many people, though presenting a poor academic performance at school, turn out to be outstanding in realms other than their original academic research and study. Consider Charles Darwin who often flunked in his medical study. He later became the founder of the Natural Selection and Evolution. In this sense, the academic frustration is not always synonymous to the bankruptcy of one’s future professional career. Second, the teachers’ assertion doesn’t provide sufficient data to narrow down the exact correlation between the academic competence and the future achievement. Therefore, any further conclusion addressing the problem must be based on thorough investigation. As a matter of fact, when Albert Einstein was young, he couldn’t properly complete certain simple calcu lation. But he finally established himself as the founder of the Theory of Relativity. Given reasons above, the argument that the academic failure meansfailure in everything, under a careful scrutiny, turns out to be groundless in its hasty conclusion.In conclusion, these teachers’ evidence lends little credible support to their claim. To persuade people that academic success is central in one’s career, those teachers would need to provide clearevidence, sufficient data and thorough cause and-effect analysis of alternatives.part 2The command of one or more foreign languages is now a valuable asset for young people. While some find it easy to learn a foreign language, others feel that it really gives them headaches. Write a 300-word expository essay illustrating different kinds of language learners.The issue whether a good command of one foreign language is rather complex, since it involves a conflict between the divergent motives in language learning and the suitable approaches dealing with the target language. However, the final judgment should depend on acase-by-case analysis of several key factors.To begin with, since the 1980s, China has witnessed some dramatic changes in its relationship with other countries. As a result, more foreign companies have already invested in China. Under such situation, it is not surprising at all that a growing number of people, young ones in particular, are particularly interested in foreign language learning, for their linguistic competence will probably be a passport to an esteemed joint venture or bring to them a vacancy with the handsome salary. Additionally, some observers believe thatsufficient financial support from the renowned educational institutions abroad also contribute to the rise of language learners. For example, In China, if a student performs well in such tests as TOEFL or GRE, he is more likely to be admitted by a foreign university. This consideration can also partly account for the increase of language learners. However, in some other instances, the above-mentioned situation is not always adequate. For instance, it is quite possible that a man learns a language out of his interest, or he is planning to work as aninterpreter Surely enough, these are exceptional cases, yet they do exist.Given the analysis above, it is justified to conclude that it is a social phenomenon nowadays that more people begin to learn a foreign language. But what measures should be taken so that language learners can benefit from their study? For one thing, they are expected to enhance their awareness that proper approaches are central in the language study. For another thing, they must attach importance to such basics as grammar, pronunciation or spelling. Still, they must bear inmind that it requires painstaking efforts to take a good command of a foreign language. As Samuel Johnson put it, “Words can’t move mountains. It is diligence that accounts.”。

AWhen you search Google or use Amazon, you might assume the results you see are the same as thos e viewed by your friends, family and other Internet users. But you’d be wrong. Websites and social networks track your location and search history and make assumptions about your age, race, sex and political views. They then show ads they believe to be the most relevant, in order to maximize clicks, but personalize which results you see by eliminating what they think is irrelevant.This is sold to the public as positive, making each web session relevant and interesting, yet it is leading researchers to fear this could widen divides between the North and South, rich and poor, and young and old. For example, in terms of wealth, if users are only ever shown particular products and job advertisements based on how much they earn or where they live, these users will never be given the opportunities to increase their wealth, or how much they spend on items.Princeton University has created bots（自动程序）, each with their own fake profiles. Thesebots have different fake ages and sexes, earn different levels of money, are virtually(虚拟地)based in various locations around the world and have different interests. By using these bots to Array scan and research the web, the researchers hope to create a picture of not only what each of them sees, but also what sites they are missing out on.According to lead researcher, Arvind Narayanan, “Our goal is a web privacy census（普查）which will be a comprehensive map of who are collecting what information, what they are inferring from it, and who they are sharing it with. It is an important step in our final goal of figuring out how users are treated based on that information.”Personalization also has its benefits. Shopping sites such as Amazon and eBay can scan a user’s search and purchase history to offer suggestions. This can help find similar, cheaper items or items that are more suited to their needs at a glance. It’s also possible t o disable personalized ads and results. Google’s search engine lets you switch off personalization, for example.Researchers from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and Yahoo felt the issue was so potentially damaging, and they have also created a w ay to “burst the filter(过滤) bubble”. They believe that just because people have opposing views on certain topics it doesn’t mean they won’t share interests with others.1、The underlined word “eliminating” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_______”. A．decorating B．removingC．personalizing D．protecting2、Princeton University created bots to ______.A．explain why different websites are personalizedB．offer users some advice on how to protect privacyC．assess how personalization is affecting Internet usersD．stress the advantages and disadvantages of personalization of websites3、Which of the following websites have done something to cut off personalization? A．Google and Yahoo. B．eBay and Google.C．Amazon and eBay. D．Amazon and Yahoo.4、What is this passage mainly about?A．Different websites are doing something to offer quality service.B．Personalized ads and search results could be creating different web pages.C．Personalization of different sites will lead to users’ privacy being violated.D．Personalization of shopping sites makes online shopping more convenient. Array BEncouraging life to bloom(兴旺) in the middle of a desert is no easy task. But one company in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a plan to provide drinking water for the state’s citizens. The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its freshwater.The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island, around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica. It will then transport them around 5,500 miles to Fujarirah, one part of the UAE. One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.The company’s director says they have already travelled the transportation route and checked the possibility of the scheme, according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project, Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi said, “We have made the technical and financial plan. We will start the proje ct at the beginning of 2018. We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”The UAE is one of the driest countries in the world, due to its extremely arid climate, which receives less than four inches of rainfall per year. Despite that, it consumes more water than double the global national average, putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years.An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the company. The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is underwater, while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects(使转向) its heat. Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks, before being processed. “This is the purest water in the world.” Mr. Al She hi added.1、What can we learn about the UAE project?A．It will help the UAE harvest freshwater.B．It will encourage life to boom in Antarctica.C．It will put the UAE at severe risk of droughts.D．It will completely change the climate in the UAE.2、Where could the block of ice come from?A．The Atlantic Ocean. B．Fujariah. Array C．The Gulf. D．Heard Island.3、Which of the following may NOT benefit from the project?A．The local people. B．Antarctica.C．The weather. D．Tourism.4、The author mentions the nature of ice in the last paragraph to show ________.A．the process of the project B．the possibility of the planC．the purpose of the company D．the comments on the scheme第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．完形填空Air travel makes some people very nervous．The crowds，the noise and flying itself can cause_______．But there are classes people can take to help them_______the fear of flying．And there is_______training for service dogs that suffer the same problem．Service dogs almost never______the side of the people they care for．You will see them working on buses，trains and other public_______systems．But the busy environment found at an airport can_______even the best trained working dog．People with disabilities depend on their dogs．They want the animals to safely_______them through security areas．They also need the dogs to remain_______on duty on the airplane，even when the flying is not_______．This takes special_______．The Air Hollywood K9 Flight School is one place where such help can be found．The school has a piece of equipment that provides the sights，sounds and even the feel of an airplane in flight．Dog trainers say_______training is based on a simple rule: preparation．Dogs need to be exposed gradually and_______to the environment，to loud noises，to sounds and other dogs so that when this experience happens to them on a daily basis，they're able to act in a way that they're used to acting and that they don't get_______．Dog owners who_______the training at Air Hollywood K9 Flight School say they now feel much more at ease about future_______．Their dogs also seem ready for take off．1、A．trouble B．unease C．accidents D．diseases2、A．defeat B．describe C．sense D．record Array3、A．professional B．varied C．free D．similar4、A．approach B．bark C．leave D．take5、A．association B．running C．transport D．society6、A．trouble B．attract C．interrupt D．instruct7、A．follow B．guide C．train D．land8、A．nervously B．stressfully C．calmly D．enthusiastically9、A．speedy B．relaxing C．dangerous D．smooth10、A．interest B．attention C．training D．procedure11、A．previous B．cooperative C．academic D．successful12、A．repeatedly B．abruptly C．occasionally D．instantly13、A．bored B．excitable C．energetic D．fragile14、A．attended B．inquired C．overlooked D．recommended15、A．career B．flights C．security D．generations第二节（每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

“以赛促学,以赛促教”促进实用英语课程改革的研究与实践——以写作比赛为例
“以赛促学，以赛促教”促进实用英语课程改革的研究与实践———以写作比赛为例阴郭嘉苏州农业职业技术学院[摘要]本文从高职学生写作上的常见弊病谈起，逐一给出解决问题的办法和建议，然后对“以赛促学，以赛促教”在指导我校学生参加写作比赛中的作用进行详细论述。
[关键词]“以赛促学，以赛促教”；公共英语教学改革；写作比赛[中图分类号]H319[文献标识码]A[文章编号]1009-6167（2021）06-0076-03近年来，随着高职公共英语教学改革的逐步推进，高职高专学生的英语听、说、读、写等水平逐渐有所提高，但是其写作水平仍比较有限。
我院通过教学实践，逐步探索出了“以赛促学，以赛促教”的公共英语教育模式，并且在近几年的国家级、省级职业技能大赛（英语口语）及英语写作比赛中，取得了一定的成绩。
本文就“外研社杯”江苏省高职高专大学生英语能力挑战赛中的写作大赛为契机，浅谈一下“以赛促教，以赛促改”在我院实用英语课程改革中的运用与实践。
1高职学生写作上的常见弊病全国高职高专英语写作比赛的公共英语组试题，主要包括以下几类题型。
复赛包括两道题：看文字信息写作（即应用文写作），运用200词及以上，占40%的分数；看图表信息写作（即图表作文），运用300词及以上，占60%的分数。
公共英语组决赛除了复赛的图表作文题型外，还有看视频写作（运用100词及以上，占25分）和看短文写作（运用250词以上、占30分）。
在充分分析以上题型和评分项目和分值占比的前提下，笔者发现，我校学生在平时英语写作方面主要存在以下问题。
1.1审题欠缺，内容不够充实写作大赛的考查项目，首先就是考查学生对信息的提取、分析与整合（占25%分值）的能力，包括对写作任务的理解程度；对题目信息的提取能力；对题目信息的分析与整合能力；等等。
然而，在平时的练习中，学生存在的最严重的问题就表现为不能充分准确地审题，还没完全确认题目要求，就把所谓的高分模板或“满分作文”使劲往上套。
