It will also flash to make it easier for the person to identify his bag and will help him track multiple bags, 23 a bag being left behind by mistake.The Bluebird also stores 24 information, enabling authorities to identify who the luggage belongs to simply by scanning it from Bluetooth enabled computers. 25 , this will mean that the age-old problem of airlines losing people's luggage is finally over.SummaryListen to the passage.

Choose the correct word in one of the following three ways: according to the context, by using the correct form of the given word, or by using the given letter(s)of the word. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Jesse was a straight-A student—a result of countless hours spent studying during college. She graduated at the top of her class and believed she would have no problem 46 (get) a job. However, after ten interviews and no job offers, she was starting to wonder 47 was wrong. "At first I couldn't understand it, I mean, I'm intelligent and diligent, why couldn't I get a job?" In spite of having "academic" intelligence, Jesse was missing the intelligence that many 48 (employ) are now looking for, emotional intelligence.Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to understand your own emotions and the emotions of people around you. More and more companies use EI assessment tests to recruit(聘用) new staff. They have found that people with high EI form better rela 49 with their colleagues and can manage 50 (they) better. This benefits the company.For example, the French cosmetics company, L'Oreal started to track the emotional intelligence of its employees in relation 51 their productivity. Their studies showed that employees with high EI scores sold goods worth in total almost $100,000 more than their colleagues with low EI scores. Clearly, employees with high EI are 52 (much) valuable to their companies.Jesse thinks that she spent so much of her college life studying alone that her social skills did not develop well. Det 53 to get straight As, she had not played any team sports or participated in any school groups, both of 54 would have helped develop social skills and EI. She did not know how to work with others, a key to success in most businesses.Al 55 Jesse might not have high EI now, psychologists believe that she can improve it. She needs to identify people who are "nature" leaders, who work well with others and are great motivators. She should watch what they say and how they act in different situations, and try it out in her own life. Part Ⅳ Reading ComprehensionRead the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using information from rite passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section AMichelangelo, Napoleon, Thomas Edison, and Madonna all have something in common—they have all claimed to only need four hours' sleep a night. Does this prove that the key to success is to sleep less? On the contrary, most people need more sleep to keep healthy, regulate there emotions and strengthen cognitive skills such as memory. What actually happens during sleep that recharges our body and makes us healthy?A sleep cycle, which usually takes about 90—110 minutes, is divided into two phases, non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM). During the first stage of NREM, which is drowsiness, our muscle activity slows down, but we are still not fully asleep. After ten minutes, our bodies enter the second stage of NERM, light sleep, which lasts about twenty minutes. Our breathing and heart rate slow down and then we enter deep sleep, stages three and four. These are the most restorative (有助于恢复健康和体力的) stages. Our blood pressure drops, growth and development hormones (荷尔蒙) are released and energy is regained. We then enter the second phase of the sleep cycle, REM sleep, which is when our brain is most active and the majority of dreams occur. Scientists believe that dreaming allows the processing and retentionof memories. This phase usually lasts about ten minutes and then the cycle is repeated. A person may go through four or five sleep cycles a night. Sleep deprivation, not getting enough sleep, has a number of negative consequences. Besides feeling tired and moody, drowsy people usually have more difficulty remembering facts, concentrating on tasks, and reacting to situations. For example, in the USA alone, more than 56,000 car accidents a year are caused by drivers feeling sleepy.So, although Thomas Edison regarded sleep as a waste of time, most people do need more than just a few hours of sleep a night. It is the easiest way to become a smarter and healthier person.Section BThree fishermen lost at sea for 289 days landed 5,500 miles from where they started, but is their story really true?61 It was a sunny day, but things changed as night fell. A storm came in, making it difficult to find the fishing nets they had left in the water. The boat soon ran out of fuel and the men became frightened as they drifted out to sea, unable to get back to the shore.62 Desperate to stay alive, the men drank rainwater and ate raw fish and birds. The survivors say that two of the men had trouble eating, eventually dying of starvation.63 To keep their spirits up and their minds off sharks that occasionally bumped against the boat, they sang traditional songs, read the Bible, and kept hoping for a miracle.One of the fishermen said, "We saw many boats pass by us. When that happened, it was depressing and we didn't talk for hours. But I never imagined we would die." It took over nine months but his optimism paid off. A Taiwanese ship found the fishermen and brought them to the Marshall Islands, 1,200 miles north. During the two-week journey, the Mexican fishermen say they were able to rest and eat. When they arrived in port, they all looked happy and healthy. However, some people believed the three fishermen looked too good.64 When the man was rescued, he was extremely thin and it took him months to recover. However, the three rescued fishermen, missing for much longer, did not have any of the noticeable health problems.65 Many think the fishermen were actually involved in an illegal smugglingoperation that went wrong. Others wonder what really happened to the two fishermen who did not survive. The fishermen insist they are telling the truth, but many question their story.Complete the passage with the following sentences. There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use.A. Their small boat had no shelter, no navigational equipment, and held only a small amount of food and water.B. In all the historical records of sailors lost at sea, the longest someone had been missing was 76 days.C. On October 28, 2005, five fishermen left the coast of Mexico on a three-day fishing trip.D. Unfortunately, two fishermen died of food poisoning.E. The survivors have different stories about how they became lost.F. Some experts argue it is almost impossible for their boat to have floated from Mexico in a northern direction to the Marshall Islands as quickly as it did.G. They tried not to lose hope, but life on a small boat can be boring, scary, and depressing.Section CHuman beings learnt to talk about half a million years ago. Yet it was only about 5,000 years ago that our ancestors learnt to write.They first wrote by using pictures. These pictures might mean just what they showed—for example, the moon or a tree. Such pictures are called pictographs (象形文字). But sometimes the drawings presented ideas which are suggested by the pictures. That is, three trees might mean a forest. An eye with tears might mean sorrow. These pictures are called ideographs (表意文字). Here is a drawing cut into a rock by North American Indians.This means: "A brave chief went on a journey with five canoes. The journey took three days." Showing the chief on a horse suggests "travelling", for in fact he went in a canoe, not on horseback. The eagle suggests the chief's courage. Three suns under a curved sky suggest three days.The ancient Egyptians developed a beautiful form of writing about 5,000 years ago. This writing shows objects such as animals, birds and people. These are called hieroglyphs (古埃及用的象形字). Some hieroglyphs represented things, some ideas, and some sounds. For example, if we used this system for English, a picture of a loaf of bread might mean just bread, or maybe food in general, or the sound "b" with which the word "bread" begins. The ancient Egyptians used over 700 different hieroglyphs.The alphabet was invented by the Phoenicians about 3,500 years ago. The Phoenicians lived where Syria and Israel are now. The alphabet was perhaps the greatest invention of mankind. Like many great inventions, it was extremely simple.In an alphabet, symbols represent sounds, not objects or ideas. Any symbol can be used for an alphabet. For example, "*π+" could spell "cat" if we all agreed that these symbols represent the sounds "c", "a" and "t". The 26 letter A—Z alphabet is the most widely used in the world, but there are over fifty alphabets in use. If we use an alphabet, we know how any word that we read sounds. We can also write down any word we hear. Words can be easily arranged in lists "alphabetically". Using a keyboard is also easy, as an alphabet contains only a few symbols (letters), and so few keys are needed.Most languages use alphabets, but Chinese uses "characters". Characters are like drawings. They represent whole words, not single letters. There aretherefore thousands of characters in Chinese, one for each word. You cannot know how a Chinese character sounds simply by looking at it. But if you have seen it before, you will know what it means without knowing how it sounds. Answer the following questions according to the passage.66、 Which is much earlier for human beings to learn, to talk or to write?67、 How did North American Indians present "three days" long before?68、 How many hieroglyphs did the ancient Egyptians use?69、 Who invented the alphabet?70、 What is the difference between alphabets and Chinese characters? Section DWhat are the basic requirements of life and what do we need next after those? When you answer these questions, you are doing the same kind of work that American psychologist Abraham Maslow did in his "hierarchy (层次) of needs" theory. The theory states that we must progress through various levels, satisfying the needs of each before being able to move on to the next. He thought individuals could eventually fulfill their potential if they could just satisfy their fundamental needs.These most basic needs form the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy and are referred to as physiological needs. These needs include our needs for water and shelter. Unless these are satisfied, we cannot move to the next level, safety needs. We need to feel secure in our environments, and this feeling of security usually means protection and freedom from fear. The third level is the need for love and belonging. People satisfy this need through their families and homes, as well as by joining and forming groups, making friends, and being a part of a team.In the fourth level, the need for esteem refers to the need of people to be recognized. Here, they want to feel that others think highly of them; they may need praise and want to feel good about themselves. They may try to accomplish this by achieving set goals. Self-actualization, the fifth level, is the summit of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It is the quest (追求) to reach one's full human potential. In this process people tend to have needs such as truth, justice, wisdom, and spiritual fulfillment.Despite the appealing logic of Maslow's hierarchy, it seems to have some limits. Extensive research has suggested that there is little evidence for the ranking of levels and the argument of a definite hierarchy. Moreover, the concept of self-actualization is not clear, and there is no evidence to show that every individual can reach it.Maslow was the first psychologist to carry out academic research on human needs. He believed everybody should be encouraged to discover their vocations (使命) in life and try their best to make life better. These are still important lessons today.Complete the summary with a maximum of two words from the passage, changing the form where necessary.American psychologist Abraham Maslow used his "hierarchy of needs" theory to show that we must meet a number of 71 before we can fulfill our potentials. At the lower levels, we need food and shelter, the feeling of 72 , and a sense of belonging. After those, we need to seek 73 for our abilities before finally 74 to the state of self-actualization. Although there are problems with Maslow's approach, it still offers 75 today.Part Ⅴ TranslationSection ATranslate the following paragraph into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.76、 Email has become an accepted and expected way to keep in touch with professors at universities, and when done correctly, can help students and professors communicate. However, some professors are finding that it can also cause major misunderstandings. Informality and inappropriateness are the causes of many misunderstandings in emails. One professor says that emails have to be written in formal, standard English, and be professional or business-like in tone. Additional problems occur when the tone of a message is misunderstood.Section BTranslate the underlined sentences into English by using the hints given in brackets.

2018年全国英语竞赛d类真题作文
2018年全国英语竞赛d类真题作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1Unfortunately, I do not have access to specific 2018 National English Competition (Category D) essay prompts. However, I can provide a sample essay based on a typical English competition prompt. Here is an example:Title: The Impact of Technology on EducationIn the modern world, technology has become an essential part of our everyday lives, impacting various aspects of society, including education. The integration of technology in education has revolutionized the way students learn and teachers teach. In this essay, we will explore the positive and negative impacts of technology on education.One of the main benefits of technology in education is its ability to enhance the learning experience. With the aid of computers, tablets, and the internet, students have access to a vast amount of information at their fingertips. This allows them to research and explore a wide range of topics, expanding their knowledge beyond what is taught in the classroom. Additionally,technologies such as online learning platforms and educational apps provide a more interactive and engaging learning experience for students.Furthermore, technology has made education more accessible to students from all walks of life. Online courses and virtual classrooms have enabled students to learn from anywhere in the world, breaking down geographical barriers. This has created opportunities for students in remote areas or those with physical disabilities to receive an education that would have otherwise been inaccessible.However, the integration of technology in education is not without its challenges. One major concern is the digital divide, where students from low-income households or rural areas may not have access to the necessary technology and internet connection required for online learning. This can create inequalities in education and hinder the academic progress of these students.Another issue is the potential for technology to be a distraction in the classroom. With the prevalence of smartphones and social media, students may be tempted to use their devices for non-educational purposes during class, leading to a decline in focus and productivity. Teachers must find ways to effectivelyintegrate technology into their lessons while minimizing distractions.In conclusion, technology has the potential to revolutionize education by providing students with access to a wealth of information and creating new opportunities for learning. However, it is essential that educators address the challenges posed by technology, such as the digital divide and distractions in the classroom, in order to ensure that all students can benefit from the advantages of technology in education. Only by striking a balance between the benefits and challenges of technology can we truly harness its power to improve the quality of education for all students.篇22018 National English Competition (Class D) Writing TaskQuestion:Write an essay on the following topic: "The Impact of Technology on Communication"In recent years, technology has profoundly changed the way we communicate with each other. From the invention of smartphones to the rise of social media platforms, technology has revolutionized the way we interact and connect with others.In this essay, I will explore the impact of technology on communication and discuss both its positive and negative aspects.One of the biggest advantages of technology in communication is its ability to connect people from all over the world. With just a click of a button, we can now communicate with someone on the other side of the globe in real-time. This has allowed for greater global connectivity and has made the world feel smaller and more interconnected. Additionally, technology has also made communication more convenient and efficient. Emails, text messages, and video calls have made it easier than ever to keep in touch with friends and family, regardless of distance.On the other hand, the rise of technology has also brought about certain challenges in communication. One major issue is the potential loss of face-to-face interaction. With the prevalence of social media and messaging apps, many people now prefer to communicate through screens rather than in person. This can lead to a decrease in meaningful connections and a lack of genuine human interaction. Furthermore, the constant barrage of digital communication can be overwhelming and can lead to feelings of isolation and disconnection.In conclusion, while technology has greatly improved the way we communicate, it is important to recognize both its benefits and drawbacks. It is crucial that we find a balance between utilizing technology to enhance our connections with others while also prioritizing face-to-face communication and genuine human connection. By doing so, we can ensure that technology continues to enrich our lives without overshadowing the importance of meaningful interactions.Overall, the impact of technology on communication is undeniable and it is up to us to navigate this new digital landscape in a way that benefits us both personally and socially.篇32018 National English Competition Class D Writing TestThe 2018 National English Competition Class D Writing Test was held on June 15th, 2018, with thousands of students from all over the country participating in the competition.
