and old woman") to make senior-friendly products．They knew they were making history when they coined their company motto : "Of the elderly, by the elderly and for the elderly．" They do not hire young people, and the oldest of their workers is 75．Firms run by senior citizens are still a rarity, in Japan and worldwide．But the elderly have numbers on their side．Healthier and longer-living seniors, born immediately after World War II,are reaching retirement age in huge numbers all over the developed world．Extremely lowbirthrates in those same countries mean there are far fewer young workers to take their place．One likely con-sequence is now clear: shrinking work forces．While the streamlining effects of international competition are focusing attention on the need to create and keep good jobs, those fears will eventually give way to worries about the growing short-age of young workers．One unavoidable solution: putting older people back to work, whether they like it or not．Indeed, advanced economies like those of Finland and Denmark have already raised their retirement ages．Others are under severe pressure to follow suit, as both the European Com-mission and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development have recently warned their members that their future prosperity depends on a growing contribution from the elderly．Whether these changes are good or bad news to workers depends on whether they anticipate retirement with eagerness or dread．In the United States, half of working-age Americans now expect to work into their 70s, whether by financial necessity or by lifestyle choice, according to a new study by Putnam Investments．Contrary to still widespread assumptions, there is very little hard evidence to suggest that com-panies cannot stay competitive with a rising share of older workers．At 13ritish hardware chain B&Q, its "elder worker" stores in Manchester and Exmouth were 18 percent more profitable than its regular outlets--due in part, the company says, to six times less employee turnover and 60 per-cent less shoplifting and breakage．46、Jeeba' s difference from a conventional company mainly lies inA．the age of its employees B．the number of its ownersC．the quality of its products D．the scope of its operations47、In the developed world, compared with young people, the elderlyA．are better at business B．are greater in numberC．have healthier lifestyles D．have more job opportunities48、According to the writer, in the current situation companies are faced with the tough task of A．creating good positions B．employing retired workersC．filling vacant positions D．replacing unskilled workers49、For future prosperity, many European countries will have toA．increase the number of young workers B．offer many senior-friendly jobsC．improve services for seniors D．raise their retirement ages50、B&Q' s "elder worker" stores are mentioned to show that the employment of older work-ers A．does not reduce a company' s competitivenessB．does not affect older workers' lifestyle ChoicesC．is not a usual practice among competitive firmsD．is not good news to those who are eager to retireText 2Here' s how I want to watch the 2014 Winter Olympics．I want to go to a Web site to see any event I want, whenever I want to watch it, on whatever screen I choose．I' 11 gladly pay．The technology exists to make this happen today．Yet nearly two decades after theintroduction of the World Wide Web, this remains a fantasy．NBC, which broadcasted the Vancouver Olympics in the United States, wouldn' t put videos on its Web site until they had been shown on prime-time TV．So Americans had the weird experience of learning from a news report during the day that something fantastic had just happened, and then having to wait until that night' s broadcast to see it．Bloggers complained, but NBC wouldn' t give way．Its research shows that people like me, who want to watch the Olympics online, represent only 7 percent of the total audience．The other, bigger concern is: the Internet doesn' t deliver any money．Advertisers remain willing to pay big money to show their commercials on prime-time TV．But on the Internet? Not so much．So NBC clings to the old way of doing things．As it sees it, the prime-time show is the most important．To make matters worse, NBC was already expecting to lose $ 250 million on the 2010 Vancouver Games．Good luck persuading it to invest in a risky Web project．It's easy to blame the network executives．But the NBC guys and their like are only doing what makes sense．They're going where the money is．That needs to change．Yes, selling reporting of Olympic events over the Internet would drain away some of the prime-time audience, but my sense is many of the online subscribers would still watch the prime-time show．And over time, the subscription dollars could become a substantial rev- enue stream．Instead of viewing the Internet as a threat to prime time, the TV networks should see the Web as a way to sell even more of their product to a small but passionate subset of their audi-ence．I' m hoping that by 2014, that will have changed．51、According to the writer, watching the Olympics online as one likesA．is technologically impossible B．is still denied to the audienceC．has been a dream for 20 years D．will no longer be free in 201452、We learn that what Americans saw about the V ancouver OlympicsA．was unavailable online B．differed from the newsC．seemed weird to them D．was first shown on TV53、Bloggers complained about NBC' sA．neglect of those in the minority B．excessive online advertisementsC．delay in providing videos online D．limited reporting on sports news54、After the 2010 Vancouver Games, NBC is likely toA．improve its prime-time show B．continue its current practiceC．raise its price for advertising D．try its luck in a web program55、The writer thinks the TV networks should view the Web as a potential to help them to A．make dramatic profits B．develop new productsC．satisfy their subscribers D．divide prime-time revenuesText 3One important thing during the pre-Christmas rush at our house was the arrival of my daughter' s kindergarten report card．She got high praise for her reading, vocabulary and overallen-thusiasm．On the other hand, we learnt that she has work to do on her numbers and facility with the computer, though the detailed handwritten report her teachers prepared is absent of any words that might be interpreted as negative in describing her efforts．A number system indicates how she' s measuring up in each area without any mention of passing or failing．All of which seems to make my daughter' s school neither fish nor fowl when it comes to the debate over the merits of giving formal grades to kids．At one level, the advantages and disadvanta-ges are obvious．A grade system provides a straightforward standard by which to measure how your child is progressing at school--and how he or she is getting on compared to other children．But as writer Sue Ferguson notes, "Grades can deceive．" The aim should be "to measure learning, not simply what a student can recall on a test．" The two aren' t the same--and if you doubt that as an adult, ask yourself whether you could sit down without any preparation and still pass those high-school-level examinations．If you' re old enough, you' ve lived through this debate before．At one time, it was considered unfair to put children in direct competition with one another if it could be avoided．The inten-tion behind tha．t may have been good, but it ignored the fact that competition, and the will to come out on top, are essential components of the human condition．This time around, educators working with a no-grades approach are emphasizing different rea-sons．The thing is, that approach is much more commonplace in the adult workplace than is the tra-ditional pass-fail system we place on our children．Many workplaces conduct regular employee eval-uations．There are usually fairly strict limits to what an employer can tell an employee in those eval-uations-and even then, negative evaluations can be challenged by the employee．No matter where you sit in the debate over the grade system, then, the real question is this: if it' s so good for kids, why isn't that also true for adults?56、The school report indicates that the writer' s daughterA．lacks interest in her school work B．ranks among the best at languageC．has some trouble with her handwriting D．needs to improve in math and computer skills57、We can learn that the girl' s school tries to deliver the reportA．in a positive way B．in a scientific way C．in an attractive way D．in an enthusiastic way58、Sue Ferguson seems dissatisfied with the grade system for its focus onA．the process of getting the knowledge B．the capability of memorizing for the testC．the procedure of measuring learning D．the standard of comparing schools59、The writer would agree that cutting children off from competition isA．fit for human development B．fit for their age and experienceC．against a key part of human nature D．out of consideration for children60、It can be learned that today's educators supporting the no-grades approach insist that A．kids be allowed to challenge the negative evaluationsB．the traditional teacher-student relationship be changedC．the evaluation system for kids be similar to that for adultsD．strict rules be set up in evaluating school childrenSECTION III Reading Comprehension Part B(40 minutes)Directions:Read the texts from a magazine in which five people voice their different opinions in response to an article on the issue of praising．For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements ( A to G) given below．Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1．Mike :Praise often and sincerely--it' s as simple as that．Employees want to feel needed and appreci-ated．By offering sincere praise with examples about what they did right, you' ll go far in creating an energetic team．Meanwhile, I don't agree with the assertion that "to focus on what needs im-proving isn' t good management．" In fact, it' s the balance of praise along with constructive criti-cism that drives employees to work smarter and reach higher．Frank:This article makes a valid point that needs to be understood, especially for the new generation of workers, my generation．We don' t see ourselves as parts in the machine to be put in the dark to work．My generation needs respect in return from our employer, we need to feel appreciated beyond just a pay check, it' s the difference between being fulfilled at our career and being sad at our job．Joyce :One skill missing in today's workplace is the ability to build effective business relationships．At the core of that relationship is the need for consistent feedback．"How am I doing?" is a ques-tion that should be answered consistently．When you tell an employee once a year what is needed to improve, you have not done your job as a leader--build skills, provide feedback and help the em-ployee grow and develop．Ellen:I don' t see a problem with praising employees when it' s truly deserved ( insincere praise is an entirely different story)．It' s a cost-free "benefit", if you will, in that it allows employees to see that their efforts are both noticed and valued．In the work world there are always people available to tell that you are doing something wrong and far too few occasions when employees are told that they've done something right!Diana:Praise what the employee did．Be specific about why it was helpful．An employee who contin-ually earns your praise also deserves your attention as to how else to reward their behavior．Mean-ingful praise encourages people beyond anything else．Written comments are available for later re-view．They give them confidence that they can "do it again．" I never regretted praising an employ-ee who deserved it but often kicked myself for missing an opportunity．Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statementNote: there are two extra statements．Statements[A]Praise combined with criticism is helpful．[B] Praise can bring about many kinds of desired behavior．[C] Employees may feel it hard to accept．insincere praise．[D] Let employees know exactly for what they are praised．[E] In my opinion, we are not generous enough to give praise．[F] Employees need helpful advice on a regular basis．[G] Money alone cannot guarantee a sense of career fulfillment for me．61、Mike62、Frank63、Joyce64、Ellen65、DianaSECTION IV Writing Part A(40 minutes)You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section o n ANSWER SHEET 2．Part AYou will be transferred to the city where your friend James lives． Write a n email to him, telling him about:1 ) the reason(s) for your job transfer;2 ) the help you will need from him．You should write approximately 100 words． Do not use your own name at the end of your email． Use "Wang Lin"

eference to the following points:1) the possible causes of the young man' s problem;2) your suggested solutions to the problem．THAT IS THE END OF THE TEST．第四部分写作Part A66．【高分范文】Dear James,I want to

国家公共英语三级(旅游)练习试卷9(题后含答案及解析)
国家公共英语三级（旅游）练习试卷9(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1.The fitness movement that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s centered around aerobic exercise(有氧操). Millions of individuals became engaged in a variety of aerobic activities, and literally thousands of health spas developed around the country to capitalize(获利)on this emerging interest in fitness, particularly aerobic dancing for females. A number of fitness spas existed prior to this aerobic fitness movement, even a national chain with spas in most major cities. However, their focus was not on aerobics, but rather on weight-training programs designed to develop muscular mass, strength, and endurance in their primarily male enthusiasts. These fitness spas did not seem to benefit financially from the aerobic fitness movement to better health, since medical opinion suggested that weight-training programs offered few, if any, health benefits. In recent years, however, weight training has again become increasingly popular for males and for females. Many current programs focus not only on developing muscular strength and endurance but on aerobic fitness as well. Historically, most physical-fitness tests have usually included measures of muscular strength and endurance, not for health-related reasons, but primarily because such fitness components have been related to performance in athletics. However, in recent years, evidence has shown that training programs designed primarily to improve muscular strength and endurance might also offer some health benefits as well. The American College of Sports Medicine now recommends that weight training be part of a total fitness program for healthy Americans. Increased participation in such training is one of the specific physical activity and fitness objectives of Healthy People 2000: National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives.1．The word “spas” (Line , Para. 1) most probably refers to ______ .A．sports activitiesB．places for physical exerciseC．recreation centersD．athletic training programs正确答案：B解析：语义题。

2023年9月公共英语三级作文真题及答案全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇12023 September Public English Level 3 Exam Essay Question and AnswerHello everyone! My name is Sophie and I am 10 years old. I took the Public English Level 3 exam in September 2023 and I want to tell you all about the essay question and how I answered it. It was a very exciting day!The essay question was: "What is your favorite holiday and why? Describe the traditions and activities you do to celebrate this holiday with your family and friends." I thought this was a fun topic because I really love holidays, especially my favorite one which is Christmas!My Favorite Holiday is ChristmasChristmas is my number one favorite holiday of the whole year! I love the decorations, the yummy food, giving presents to my family and friends, and all the fun traditions we do together. Christmas is the most specialest day.The best Christmas tradition is putting up the tree and decorating it. Every year after Thanksgiving, my parents get out all the Christmas boxes from storage. First we put together the tree which is made of green plastic branches. Then we string lights all around it - blue, red, green, yellow, so many colors! It's so pretty when we turn off the room lights and just the tree is glowing.Next comes the ornaments to hang on the tree. We have so many that we've collected over the years. There are round balls in every shade, shiny bells, cute little Santa figures, and my favorites - the handmade ones from when I was in preschool and kindergarten. We carefully unwrap each one and pick special spots on the tree for everything.While we decorate, we listen to Christmas music like "Jingle Bells" and "Frosty the Snowman". Sometimes we have hot chocolate with lots of mini marshmallows too! Once the whole tree is done, we stand back and admire our hard work. It looks so magical and Christmassy.Another fun tradition is baking Christmas cookies together as a family. We make sugar cookies in fun shapes like stars, trees, stockings and Santas. After they bake and cool, we ice them with green, red and white frosting and sprinkles too! I get messy butit's so yummy. We leave some cookies out for Santa on Christmas Eve night with a glass of milk too!On Christmas Eve, we always go to church for a candlelight service. We sing classic Christmas carols and hear the story of Jesus's birth. My favorite part is when everyone lights their little candles one by one and the whole dark church glows with a soft light. It's so peaceful.Then we go back home and get cozy in our Christmas pajamas. We hang up our stockings over the fireplace, sipping hot cocoa and reading Christmas stories. We try to stay up late to hear Santa and his reindeer on the roof but I never can!Finally, the best part - Christmas morning! We wake up so early like 5am and run downstairs. Under the tree there are colorfully wrapped presents galore! We take turns opening one by one, saving the biggest for last. I get the latest toys and games I asked Santa for, along with clothes, books and other goodies from my family.After presents, we have a huge Christmas brunch with pancakes, eggs, bacon, cinnamon rolls - so delicious! We wear our new Christmas pajamas and slippers all cozy all day. In the afternoon we call relatives and wish them Merry Christmas. At night we have a special dinner with ham, mashed potatoes, gravy,homemade rolls and pie for dessert. We stuff ourselves full of amazing food!Those are my favorite Christmas traditions with my family on my most beloved holiday. From the sparkling decorations to sweet treats to cozy gatherings, it's the most fun and magical day of the whole year. I can't wait until next Christmas!The EndWell, that's my essay answer all about my favorite holiday of Christmas! I worked really hard on it with lots of details and descriptions. What do you think? I really hope I get a good score. It's one of my best essays I've ever written. Holidays like Christmas are just the best and so much fun to celebrate and make memories with my whole family.

I just went on the best school trip ever to the Science Museum in our city. I'm going to tell you all about it!We took a big yellow school bus to get there. My best friend Emma sat next to me on the bus. We were so excited, we could hardly sit still. We sang silly songs and played games during the ride. It took about 30 minutes to get to the museum.When we arrived, our teachers Mrs. Smith and Mr. Jones lined us up in an orderly way. We listened carefully as they reminded us to stay together, be on our best behavior, and not wander off. I made sure to hold tightly onto the buddy rope with Emma.First, we went into the Space Zone. There were huge rocket ships and satellites hanging from the ceiling! We learned allabout how astronauts live and work in space. I got to try on a real spacesuit - it was really heavy. In the planetarium, we saw a movie about the different planets. My favorite was Saturn with its beautiful rings.Next up was the Energy Zone. This part was all about renewable energy like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. We experimented with solar panels and windmills to see how they generate electricity. I want to get some solar panels for my house! We also learned about saving energy by turning off lights and unplugging devices when not in use.After that, we went to the Human Body Zone. This was my favorite! There were huge models of the brain, heart, lungs and other organs. We got to walk through a gigantic mouth model with big teeth. So cool! I also liked checking out the X-rays of people's skeletons. Our bodies are like complicated machines.During the lunch break, we ate our packed lunches in the museum's picnic area. I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, an apple, and a juice box. After we re-fueled, it was time to explore more exhibits.The Transportation Zone had all kinds of vehicles like planes, trains, cars, and ships. We learned about aerodynamics bymaking paper airplanes and seeing whose could fly the furthest. I built a lemon battery that powered a little model car. Amazing!Finally, we ended our trip at the Dino Zone. Can you believe dinosaurs once roamed the Earth? Some of their skeletons were humongous! We saw fossils of their bones, teeth, footprints, and even an egg. My favorite was the huge T-Rex - what a ferocious beast! I wouldn't want to meet one in person.On the bus ride back to school, I was worn out from all the walking and learning. I took a little nap with my head resting on Emma's shoulder. When we got back, I told my parents everything. They were impressed by how much I had learned.This was seriously the most fun-filled field trip ever! The Science Museum brought our textbook lessons to life in such an engaging, hands-on way. I can't wait until we get to go again next year. Thanks for reading about my awesome day!篇42023 September Public English Test Level 3 Exam Essay Question and AnswerEssay Question: Some people believe it is important for kids to have responsibilities and chores at home like making their bed,cleaning their room, and helping with dishes. Others think kids should focus only on school work and playing, without any home responsibilities. Which view do you agree with? Explain your reasons with examples.My Answer:Hi! My name is Tommy and I am 10 years old. I go to Maple Grove Elementary School. For the essay question, I think kids should definitely have responsibilities and chores at home. I will explain my reasons why.First of all, doing chores teaches kids to be responsible and independent. If kids never have any chores, they might grow up expecting everything to be done for them. But by making their bed, cleaning their room, and helping with dishes, kids learn important life skills about taking care of themselves and a home. It's good practice for when they are older and live on their own someday. My mom always says "The sooner you learn to be responsible, the better."Secondly, doing chores helps kids appreciate all the hard work their parents do around the house. Making a bed doesn't seem that hard, but doing it every single day gets tiring. Same with loading and unloading the dishwasher, sweeping floors, and all the other housework. Once kids see how much effort goesinto it, they realize why parents ask for help. I know I complain way less about chores after spending a Saturday helping my mom with the deep cleaning!Another reason kids should have chores is it teaches important values like discipline, teamwork, and pitching in. Having a set list of chores builds discipline by showing kids they have obligations, not just fun and games all the time. And when siblings work together on bigger tasks like yard work, it shows the importance of teamwork and everyone doing their part. It's way harder for parents to do everything alone!Plus, doing chores is good exercise and teaches kids to stay active instead of just lying around all day. Vacuuming, washing windows, and other physical chores keep kids moving and burning calories instead of just staring at screens. My dad jokes that chores must be good for you based on how much we sweat and complain about them!The only downside I can think of is chores take away time that could be spent on homework and studying. But as long as kids are responsible and manage their time well, they should still have plenty of time for both schoolwork and reasonable chores. Teamwork makes the chore work go faster too.In conclusion, I definitely think kids should have responsibilities and chores at home rather than focus only on school and play. Doing chores teaches so many important life skills like responsibility, appreciation, discipline, teamwork, and staying active. It's great practice for being independentgrown-ups someday. Plus, it's a way for kids to pitch in and help out their families. Just don't go overboard with too many chores!A nice balance of work, study, and play is best.篇5The 2023 September Public English Level 3 Exam Writing QuestionHi friends! For the writing section of the big English test last September, we had to write an essay about the most amazing experience we ever had. The question asked us to describe what happened, where it took place, who was there, and why it was so amazing and special to us. I thought it was a really fun question to answer!Describe the most amazing experience you have ever had. Be sure to explain what happened, where it took place, who was involved, and why it was such an incredible experience for you. Your response should be at least 300 words.And here is the answer I wrote for the test:My Amazing Experience at the ZooOne time me and my family had the most amazing, crazy, unforgettable adventure at the zoo! It was the summer before third grade, and we went to the Wildtimes Zoo in our city to see all the cool animals. Little did we know the crazy thing that was gonna happen that day!We started off looking at the monkey exhibit, which has this humongous forest area for the monkeys to swing around on vines and play. It was super cool watching the monkeys scramble around and make lots of funny noises. My little brother Tommy tried to make monkey noises too and we all started cracking up laughing at him. He's so silly!Next we went over to the big cat area to see the lions, tigers, and leopards. They were all napping in the shade when we first went over because it was pretty hot that day. But then the zoo keeper came and put some fresh meat in their enclosures to wake them up. That's when we got to see the lions roaring and the tigers pacing around. They looked so majestic and powerful!After that, we walked over to Crocland to see all the alligators and crocodiles. They were all just lazily floating in thewater or sunbathing in the hot sun. I wouldn't want to go swimming with them, that's for sure! Their teeth looked razor sharp.The next thing we did was catch a zoo keeper talk to learn about elephants. Did you know elephants are so smart they can paint pictures? And that their trunks are actually a weird long nose they use to smell and breathe and grab things? I didn't know that before but it's so cool! At the end of the talk, the zoo keeper brought out an elephant and let us feed it lettuce leaves right from our hands! Its trunk felt so rough and strange.Just when we thought our zoo day couldn't get any more exciting, the craziest thing happened. We were passing by the penguin exhibit when suddenly we heard this extremely loud sound, like a lion's roar but even louder and deeper! We all jumped from being startled. Then we saw that a huge elephant had actually ESCAPED from its enclosure and was running right towards us!My brain didn't know what to do - it was terrifying but also amazing all at the same time! The elephant stuck its massively long trunk out at us as it charged closer and closer. My dad yelled at us to stay frozen and not run away. I was so scared but also couldn't believe this was actually happening!Just then, a group of zookeepers came rushing over, whistling and waving their arms to try to scare the elephant away. Miraculously, it worked! The elephant turned and started lumbering away back towards its enclosure. We all breathed a huge sigh of relief that we weren't stomped or swept up by the elephant's trunk!After all the chaos finally ended, we decided that was enough excitement for one zoo trip. We bought some fruit freezies and ice cream on our way out to celebrate surviving the nice elephant's great escape. Even though it was scary, it was undoubtedly the most amazing, memorable experience I've ever had!I'll never forget the day an elephant got loose at the zoo and almost stumbled right into me and my family. We were just inches away from it! Even though I love the zoo, I don't think I'll be going to work as a zookeeper when I grow up now. It's way too dangerous with all those huge, powerful animals walking around. But I'm really glad I got to have such an amazing,once-in-a-lifetime experience that day. Going to the zoo will never feel boring to me again!The EndOkay, so that's the super amazing essay I wrote about my most amazing experience ever! I think I did a pretty good job describing everything that happened that crazy day at the zoo when the elephant escaped. Don't you wish you could have been there?! I included all the important details the question asked for like where it happened, who was involved, and why it was such an amazing unforgettable experience. Hopefully I got a good score on my essay! Writing practice makes me hungry - time for a snack break!篇6The 2023 September Public English Test Was Super Hard!Hi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm a 5th grader. I just took the big Public English Level 3 test last month and boy was it tough! The essay part at the end was really hard. I'm going to tell you all about the question they asked and how I answered it.The question was: "Imagine you could go back in time and meet any person from history. Who would you choose and why? What would you say to them?"At first I was like "Whoa, that's a really cool question!" Time travel is awesome and getting to meet someone from the oldendays would be so neat. But then I started thinking about who I would actually want to meet and it got really hard to decide.I thought about meeting a famous explorer like Christopher Columbus or Ferdinand Magellan. It would be cool to ask them what their voyages were really like and if they were ever scared out on the open ocean for months and months. But then I remembered that a lot of explorers from way back then weren't very nice to the people already living in the lands they "discovered." So I decided against meeting an explorer.Then I thought about meeting a scientist like Marie Curie or Albert Einstein. I love science so I could ask them all about their amazing discoveries and inventions. I could find out what gave them the ideas that changed the world! But on second thought, a lot of their science was probably really confusing and hard for a 5th grader to understand.After that, I considered meeting a president like Abraham Lincoln or George Washington. It would be so cool to talk to important leaders who helped shape America into the country it is today. But a lot of their decisions and the history around them seems really complicated too.Finally, I decided that the person from history I would most want to meet is Amelia Earhart. She was the first woman to fly aplane all the way across the Atlantic Ocean, which was an incredible accomplishment at the time. I admire how brave and adventurous she was to take on such a daring journey when most pilots were men. If I got to meet Amelia, I would ask her:"What inspired you to become a pilot at a time when it was seen as a man's profession? Were you ever scared or did people try to discourage you from flying because you were a woman? How did it feel to make that groundbreaking flight across the Atlantic? What did you think about as you were soaring thousands of feet above the ocean?"I would also want to tell her: "You were such a pioneer and inspiration for generations of women to follow their dreams, no matter how difficult or nontraditional. Thank you for paving the way and showing that women can be trailblazers and achieve anything they set their minds to."Those are just some of the things I would love to discuss with the legendary Amelia Earhart. Getting to meet someone who broke down barriers and didn't listen to the doubters would be an unforgettable experience. Her bravery and spirit of adventure could encourage me to chase my own dreams without any limits.Well, that's what I ended up writing about for my essay answer. The test wasn't easy, but I tried my best to fully answer the question while showing off my English skills. Hopefully I did a good job! Writing about meeting a historical figure from the past was a fun thought experiment. Even though I can't literally time travel, it's exciting to learn about remarkable people who impacted the world in big ways.Now I'm just anxiously waiting to get my score back for the big English exam. Keeping my fingers crossed that I did well, especially on that essay question! If you ever get asked to write about who from history you'd want to meet, I highly recommend picking Amelia Earhart. She was simply one of the most awesome and inspirational people ever.Okay, that's all from me. Thanks for reading my take on this essay question. Let me know if you have any other questions! Study hard and good luck on your English tests too!。

Such a greenhouse effect is created when energy in the form of sunlight easily passes through a planet’s atmosphere, warms its surface, and is converted to heat radiation that is then held in by the atmosphere. The orbiting spacecraft sampled Venus’ atmospher e from top to bottom, enabling NASA’s scientists to establish the exact amount of sunlight absorbed at various places in the planet’s atmosphere and on its surface. Measurements of atmosphere composition, temperature profiles, and radiative heating predict ed Venus’ surface temperature very accurately. The planet is closer to the Sun than is Earth, and it has a relatively thin atmosphere like Earth’s but Venus’ atmosphere consists of more than ninety percent carbon dioxide, compared to less than four percent in that of Earth. Because of its higher percentage of carbon dioxide, Venus’ atmosphere traps much more heat radiation than does Earth’s. Thus, the Venus studies are believed to be important to the understanding of possible adverse effects on Earth’s agri culture and sea levels that could result from the long-term use of fossil fuels, which add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.(1). Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. The Voyage of Pioneer Spacecraft B. Measuring Planetary Temperatures C. A New Theory D. The Greenhouse Effect on Venus(2).According to the passage, what heats the atmosphere on Venus?A. The green house effectB. The sunlightC. The radiationD. The carbon dioxide(3).According to the passage, how does the atmosphere of Venus differ from that of Earth?A. It contains much more carbon dioxideB. It is four percent thinnerC. It holds significantly less moistureD. It traps less heat radiation(4).It can be inferred from the passage that the burning of fossil fuels on Earth may cause _____.A. more carbon dioxide to enter sea waterB. more sunlight to reach the Earth’s surfaceC. the planet’s temperature to changeD. the atmosphere to become thinner(5).According to the passage, data from the Venus study can be used to ________.A. predict changes in the planet’s orbitB. test a theory about more efficient greenhouseC. test the efficiency of a spacecraftD. predict future agricultural problems on Earth2.At dawn on January 17, 1995, the city of Kobe was rocked by earthquake tremors. The worsttremors reach 7.2 on the Richter scale. Kobe is Japan's sixth largest city. It is also one of the world's largest ports. Within minutes, Kobe was a disaster area.How bad was the damage? The earthquake was the worst to hit Japan in 72 years. There were more than 6,000 people dead. More than 35,000 were injured, and nearly 310,000 were left homeless. Some 75,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Total damage was estimated at $90 billion.Were the Japanese prepared for earthquakes? They thought they were. They were expecting a big earthquake to strike one of their major cities. But they did not know when, where, or how big the earthquake would be. Architects and engineers believed they had designed earthquake-proof buildings, transportation, and public services. Kobe's few minutes of earth tremors shattered that belief.What did people learn from the Kobe earthquake? What happened in Kobe suggests that earthquake hazard was not taken seriously enough. Some people believe that more can be done to reduce damage. They propose the following. More work should be put into quake-proofing buildings. Walls should be built to protect towns on the coast from large waves. Providers of emergency services must be better trained and better prepared. Citizens must be better educated on what to do when an earthquake strikes.The major barrier to doing more is cost. Japan finds itself trying balance the cost against the risk of a strong earthquake.(1).Which sentence best tells what this passage says?A. Cities can be made earthquake proof.B. More can be done to reduce the damage of earthquakeC. Earthquakes always cause serious damageD. Nothing can be done to reduce the damage of earthquake(2).How many people died in the Kobe earthquake?A. More than 6,000B. At least 100,000C. Nearly 310000D. 75,000(3).What is the major difficulty in doing more to reduce the earthquake damage?A. People are not given enough trainingB. Engineers do not have the knowledgeC. Protection is too costlyD. No one takes earthquakes seriously(4).The author's attitude in writing this passage is ________.(Only paragraph 1 is chronological!)A. analyticB. blamingC. provocativeD. indifferent(5)."Tremors" probably means ________.A. earthquake-proving buildingsB. shaking movementsC. heavy thunderstormsD. natural disasters3. City planners are the people who guide the development of cities and towns. They mightadvise local governments on ways to improve communities, or they might design entirely new communities. In South Florida, for example, city planners are working to improve existing communities. The population of the area is expected to increase from 5.5 million to 7.5 million by 2020. The growth is headed to the west, where there is still open land. But western growth creates a costly need for new roads and is a threat to the ecological system of the Florida Everglades（沼泽地）. City planners are trying to lure people back into the older, developed eastern section of the region by concentrating growth in that direction and away from the western section.City planners also plan and develop new communities. These communities, called new cities or new towns, include both places to live and places to work. New cities, such as Brazil's capital Brasilia, a community founded in 1900, can be constructed far from existing cities. Such cities are designed with enough facilities and job opportunities for all residents. Building completely new cities is very costly, however, Brasilia and Canberra, Australia, are two examples of the few new cities that have ever been completedNew towns are different from new cities in that they are built within commuting distance of large cities. They may also be planned communities within a city. New towns provide jobs for many of their residents, but they also rely on neighboring cities for jobs. Two of the first new towns built in the United States were Columbia, Maryland, and Reston, Virginia. At the end of the 20th century an estimated 100 new towns were planned or under construction in the United States.(1). The passage is mainly about ________. A. choosing a good city planner B. the planning of the Reston, Virginia C. the planning of Brasilia and Canberra D. the work of city planners (2). Brasilia, Brazil, is an example of _______. A. an improved old city B. a planned new city C. a planned new town D. a suburban development(3). You would most likely hire a city planner if you needed someone to ________. A. help grow best trees and flowers in a city B. a planned new city C. design new office buildings in a city D. guide the development of a new community in a city(4). The number 2 million indicates the predicted ________. A. decrease in South Florida's population B. increase in South Florida's population C. number of city planners to be needed in the year 2020 D. number of towns to be planned by 205 population in a newly-designed city (5). In this passage lure means______ A. cheat B. force C. attract D. chase答案：一、单项选择题（55分，共55 题，每小题1 分）1. C2. B3. D4. B5. B6. D7. C8. C9. C 10. D 11. A 12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A 16. B 17. D 18. B 19. D 20.

Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best technique in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have run one more test before operating? On the other hand, maybe she should have … Would the docto rs on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Ginoux felt lonely and isolated.The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms, the more depressed she became. As hope faded, she wondered if a “country doctor” had a realistic chance of being accepted by the American College of Surgeons.(1).Dr. Ginoux was working in _______.A. a large cityB. the American College of SurgeonsC. an area far from any big cityD. a selective organization(2).The application forms must include ___.A. the decision procedureB. a record of all the operations.C. the best techniqueD. a list of advice and judgments(3).It was most probable that Dr. Ginoux was ____A. a member in that organizationB. a well-trained surgeonC. a graduate from the American College of SurgeonsD. a distinguished surgeon in America(4).When she was filling the application froms, Dr. Ginoux began to be ____.A. realisticB. distinguishedC. perplexedD. decisive(5).When filling the forms, Dr. Ginoux felt depressed because _____.A. she didn’t perform enough operationsB. some operations were unsuccessfulC. she didn’t get advice from the selection committeeD. she was doubtful about her operationsAn important new industry, oil refining, grew after the Civil War. Crude oil, or petroleum – a dark, thick ooze from the earth – had been known for hundreds of years. But little use had ever been made of it. In the 1850’s Samuel M. Kier, a manufacturer in the western Pennsylvania, began collecting the oil from local seepages and refining it into kerosene, Refining, like smelting, is a process of removing impurities from a raw material.Kerosene was used to light lamps. It was a cheap substitute for whale oil, which was becoming harder to get. Soon there was a large demand for kerosene. People began to search for new supplies of petroleum.The first oil well was drilled by E. L. Drake, a retired railroad conductor. In 1859 he began drilling in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that onlookers called it “Drake’s Folly”. But when he had drilled down about 70 feet (21 me ters), Drake struck oil. His well began to yield 20 barrels of crude oil a day.News of Drake’s success brought oil prospectors to the scene. By the early 1860’s these wildcatters were drilling for “black gold” all over western Pennsylvania. The boom riva led the California gold rush of 1848 in its excitement and Wild West atmosphere. And it brought far more wealth to the prospectors than any gold rush.Crude oil could be refined into many products. For some years kerosene continued to be the principal one. It was sold in grocery stores and door-to-door. In the 1880’s refiners learned how to make other petroleum products such as waxes and lubricating oils. Petroleum was not then used to make gasoline or heating oil.(1).Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Oil Refining: A Historical PerspectiveB. The California Gold Rush: Get Rich QuicklyC. Private Property: Trespassers Will Be ProsecutedD. Kerosene Lamps: Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted (2).It can be inferred from the passage that Kerosene was preferable to whale oil because whale oil was too ________.A. expensiveB. thickC. hotD.polluted(3).Why does the author mention the California gold rush?A. to explain the need for an increased supply of goldB. to indicate the extent of United States mineral wealthC. to describe the mood when oil was first discoveredD. to argue that gold was more valuable than oil(4).The word “one” in the second sentence of the last paragraph could best be replaced by which of the following words?A. oilB. doorC. storeD. productThe author mentions all of the following as possible products of crude oil EXCEPTwax B. gasoline C. Kerosene D. plastic答案：一、单项选择题（80分，共40 题，每小题2 分）1. D2. A3. C4. B5. A6. B7. B8. C9. A 10. B 11. A 12. A 13. A 14. D 15. B 16. C 17. C 18. C 19. D 20. C 21. A 22. D 23. A 24. D 25. C 26. A 27. A 28.

SECTION III Reading Comprehension Part A(40 minutes) Text 1 46、根据下列材料，请回答46-60题： In 1997, 25 Japanese citizens, all older than 60, launched Jeeba (the name means "old man and old woman") to make senior-friendly products. They knew they were making history when they coined their company motto : "Of the elderly, by the elderly and for the elderly. " They do not hire young people, and the oldest of their workers is 75. Firms run by senior citizens are still a rarity, in Japan and worldwide. But the elderly have numbers on their side. Healthier and longer-living seniors, born immediately after World War II,are reaching retirement age in huge numbers all over the developed world. Extremely low birthrates in those same countries mean there are far fewer young workers to take their place. One likely con-sequence is now clear: shrinking work forces. While the streamlining effects of international competition are focusing attention on the need to create and keep good jobs, those fears will eventually give way to worries about the growing short-age of young workers. One unavoidable solution: putting older people back to work, whether they like it or not. Indeed, advanced economies like those of Finland and Denmark have already raised their retirement ages. Others are under severe pressure to follow suit, as both the European Com-mission and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development have recently warned their members that their future prosperity depends on a growing contribution from the elderly. Whether these changes are good or bad news to workers depends on whether they anticipate retirement with eagerness or dread. In the United States, half of working-age Americans now expect to work into their 70s, whether by financial necessity or by lifestyle choice, according to a new study by Putnam Investments. Contrary to still widespread assumptions, there is very little hard evidence to suggest that com-panies cannot stay competitive with a rising share of older workers. At 13ritish hardware chain B&Q, its "elder worker" stores in Manchester and Exmouth were 18 percent more profitable than its regular outlets--due in part, the company says, to six times less employee turnover and 60 per-cent less shoplifting and breakage. 46、Jeeba' s difference from a conventional company mainly lies in A.the age of its employees B.the number of its owners C.the quality of its products D.the scope of its operations 47、 In the developed world, compared with young people, the elderly A.are better at business B.are greater in number C.have healthier lifestyles D.have more job opportunities 48、 According to the writer, in the current situation companies are faced with the tough task of A.creating good positions B.employing retired workers C.filling vacant positions D.replacing unskilled workers 49、 For future prosperity, many European countries will have to A.increase the number of young workers B.offer many senior-friendly jobs C.improve services for seniors D.raise their retirement ages 50、 B&Q' s "elder worker" stores are mentioned to show that the employment of older work-ers A.does not reduce a company' s competitiveness B.does not affect older workers' lifestyle Choices C.is not a usual practice among competitive firms D.is not good news to those who are eager to retire Text 2 根据下列材料，请回答51-65题： Here' s how I want to watch the 2014 Winter Olympics. I want to go to a Web site to see any event I want, whenever I want to watch it, on whatever screen I choose. I' 11 gladly pay. The technology exists to make this happen today. Yet nearly two decades after the introduction of the World Wide Web, this remains a fantasy. NBC, which broadcasted the Vancouver Olympics in the United States, wouldn' t put videos on its Web site until they had been shown on prime-time TV. So Americans had the weird experience of learning from a news report during the day that something fantastic had just happened, and then having to wait until that night' s broadcast to see it. Bloggers complained, but NBC wouldn' t give way. Its research shows that people like me, who want to watch the Olympics online, represent only 7 percent of the total audience. The other, bigger concern is: the Internet doesn' t deliver any money. Advertisers remain willing to pay big money to show their commercials on prime-time TV. But on the Internet? Not so much. So NBC clings to the old way of doing things. As it sees it, the prime-time show is the most important. To make matters worse, NBC was already expecting to lose $ 250 million on the 2010 Vancouver Games. Good luck persuading it to invest in a risky Web project. It's easy to blame the network executives. But the NBC guys and their like are only doing what makes sense. They're going where the money is. That needs to change. Yes, selling reporting of Olympic events over the Internet would drain away some of the prime-time audience, but my sense is many of the online subscribers would still watch the prime-time show. And over time, the subscription dollars could become a substantial rev- enue stream. Instead of viewing the Internet as a threat to prime time, the TV networks should see the Web as a way to sell even more of their product to a small but passionate subset of their audi-ence. I' m hoping that by 2014, that will have changed. 51、 According to the writer, watching the Olympics online as one likes A.is technologically impossible B.is still denied to the audience C.has been a dream for 20 years D.will no longer be free in 2014 52、 We learn that what Americans saw about the Vancouver Olympics A.was unavailable online B.differed from the news C.seemed weird to them D.was first shown on TV 53、 Bloggers complained about NBC' s A.neglect of those in the minority B.excessive online advertisements C.delay in providing videos online D.limited reporting on sports news 54、 After the 2010 Vancouver Games, NBC is likely to A.improve its prime-time show B.continue its current practice C.raise its price for advertising D.try its luck in a web program 55、 The writer thinks the TV networks should view the Web as a potential to help them to A.make dramatic profits B.develop new products C.satisfy their subscribers D.divide prime-time revenues Text 3 根据下列材料，请回答56-70题： One important thing during the pre-Christmas rush at our house was the arrival of my daughter' s kindergarten report card. She got high praise for her reading, vocabulary and overall en-thusiasm. On the other hand, we learnt that she has work to do on her numbers and facility with the computer, though the detailed handwritten report her teachers prepared is absent of any words that might be interpreted as negative in describing her efforts. A number system indicates how she' s measuring up in each area without any mention of passing or failing. All of which seems to make my daughter' s school neither fish nor fowl when it comes to the debate over the merits of giving formal grades to kids. At one level, the advantages and disadvanta-ges are obvious. A grade system provides a straightforward standard by which to measure how your child is progressing at school--and how he or she is getting on compared to other children. But as writer Sue Ferguson notes, "Grades can deceive. " The aim should be "to measure learning, not simply what a student can recall on a test. " The two aren' t the same--and if you doubt that as an adult, ask yourself whether you could sit down without any preparation and still pass those high-school-level examinations. If you' re old enough, you' ve lived through this debate before. At one time, it was considered unfair to put children in direct competition with one another if it could be avoided. The inten-tion behind tha.t may have been good, but it ignored the fact that competition, and the will to come out on top, are essential components of the human condition. This time around, educators working with a no-grades approach are emphasizing different rea-sons. The thing is, that approach is much more commonplace in the adult workplace than is the tra-ditional pass-fail system we place on our children. Many workplaces conduct regular employee eval-uations. There are usually fairly strict limits to what an employer can tell an employee in those eval-uations-and even then, negative evaluations can be challenged by the employee. No matter where you sit in the debate over the grade system, then, the real question is this: if it' s so good for kids, why isn't that also true for adults? 56、The school report indicates that the writer' s daughter cks interest in her school work B.ranks among the best at language C.has some trouble with her handwriting D.needs to improve in math and computer skills 57、 We can learn that the girl' s school tries to deliver the report A.in a positive way B.in a scientific way C.in an attractive way D.in an enthusiastic way 58、 Sue Ferguson seems dissatisfied with the grade system for its focus on A.the process of getting the knowledge B.the capability of memorizing for the test C.the procedure of measuring learning D.the standard of comparing schools 59、 The writer would agree that cutting children off from competition is A.fit for human development B.fit for their age and experience C.against a key part of human nature D.out of consideration for children 60、 It can be learned that today's educators supporting the no-grades approach insist that A.kids be allowed to challenge the negative evaluations B.the traditional teacher-student relationship be changed C.the evaluation system for kids be similar to that for adults D.strict rules be set up in evaluating school children SECTION III Reading Comprehension Part B(40 minutes) 61、根据下列材料，请回答61-65题： Directions: Read the texts from a magazine in which five people voice their different opinions in response to an article on the issue of praising. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements ( A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1. Mike : Praise often and sincerely--it' s as simple as that. Employees want to feel needed and appreci-ated. By offering sincere praise with examples about what they did right, you' ll go far in creating an energetic team. Meanwhile, I don't agree with the assertion that "to focus on what needs im-proving isn' t good management. " In fact, it' s the balance of praise along with constructive criti-cism that drives employees to work smarter and reach higher. Frank: This article makes a valid point that needs to be understood, especially for the new generation of workers, my generation. We don' t see ourselves as parts in the machine to be put in the dark to work. My generation needs respect in return from our employer, we need to feel appreciated beyond just a pay check, it' s the difference between being fulfilled at our career and being sad at our job. Joyce : One skill missing in today's workplace is the ability to build effective business relationships.At the core of that relationship is the need for consistent feedback. "How am I doing?" is a ques-tion that should be answered consistently. When you tell an employee once a year what is needed to improve, you have not done your job as a leader--build skills, provide feedback and help the em-ployee grow and develop. Ellen: I don' t see a problem with praising employees when it' s truly deserved ( insincere praise is an entirely different story). It' s a cost-free "benefit", if you will, in that it allows employees to see that their efforts are both noticed and valued. In the work world there are always people available to tell that you are doing something wrong and far too few occasions when employees are told that they've done something right! Diana: Praise what the employee did. Be specific about why it was helpful. An employee who contin-ually earns your praise also deserves your attention as to how else to reward their behavior. Mean-ingful praise encourages people beyond anything else. Written comments are available for later re-view. They give them confidence that they can "do it again. " I never regretted praising an employ-ee who deserved it but often kicked myself for missing an opportunity. Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement Note: there are two extra statements. Statements [A]Praise combined with criticism is helpful. [B] Praise can bring about many kinds of desired behavior. [C] Employees may feel it hard to accept.insincere praise. [D] Let employees know exactly for what they are praised. [E] In my opinion, we are not generous enough to give praise. [F] Employees need helpful advice on a regular basis. [G] Money alone cannot guarantee a sense of career fulfillment for me. 61、 Mike 62、 Frank 63、 Joyce 64、 Ellen 65、 Diana 参考答案及精析 第三部分阅读理解 Part A Text 1 参考译⽂： 1997年，年龄均超过60岁的25名⽇本市民发起了⼀场Jeeba运动(Jeeba意为⽼年男性与⼥性)，⽣产适合于⽼年⼈使⽤的产品。
