While enjoying the great wonders of new era, we are also faced with various social problems. For example, we have to admit the fact that excessive packing is a common phenomenon at the present time. There are several factors that contribute to the phenomenon of excessive packing. One of the main reasons that account for the phenomenon is that many manufacturers/producers pay much attention to packing for the purpose of attracting consumers to buy their products. What’s more, manufacturers/producers try to make more profits/money by means of excessive packing. As far as I am concerned, I am not in favor of excessive packing. Manufacturers/Producers should attach importance to product quality. It is advisable that consumers/people should pay much more attention to product quality when buying products.

Both the social structure and people’s life have been greatly changed. For example, nowadays there are more advertisements than before. Some people hold the view that advertisements bring lots of advantages and convenience for our life. They think that advertisements help people have a better understanding about products. On the contrary, however, some other people hold the opposite views. They argue that too many advertisements will have negative effect on children. We have to admit the fact that sometimes advertisements even show some false information to people. As far as I am concerned, I hold the view that excessive advertisements bring more disadvantages than advantages. To the health of the next generation, there is no denying that TV advertisements should be restricted.

They hold the view that Christmas offers them a great chance to gain a better understanding of western culture. On the contrary, however, some people hold the opposite views. They argue that Christmas is the most important festival in western countries. As Chinese, we should follow our own tradition and customs.

You should write in no less than 100 words, and base your position on the outline given in Chinese below:1。

也有人持不一样的意见,…;3。
我的看法和打算。
Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary In many kinds of English tests such as CET (College English Test), TEM (Test for English majors), etc。
a test of spoken English will be optional。
Some people consider that it is unquestionably necessary to hold a test of spoken English in China because spoken English is as important as written English。
Both of them are effective munication ways for English speakers。
But sometimes even those top students who are good at grammar and writing skills find that it is difficult to express their thoughts freely when speaking。

以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的最新成人学位英语阅读理解训练题及答案,希望能给大家带来帮助!Chokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes(路面坑洼).The eighth-grader was inspired to kick off his mission on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. "I decided I was going to do something about the pothole problem in my city," Chokwe says. His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. "When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted(突出显示)in red," Chokwe says. "And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you." Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. "It works by using the city's 311 call system, soit uses information already stored in a database," Chokwe says.(79) Throughthe call system, citizens dial 3-1-1 to report non-emergency problems—which include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets inJackson would give them a large enough sample size to test th prototype(原型).(80) Although the app isn't yet available for sale,Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The prototype remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working on the app until it's nationwide,” Chokwe says.1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Solution to Traffic JamsB. An App to Detect PotholesC. Pothole Problems in Big CitiesD. Poor Road Conditions答案解析:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?(下面哪个选项是文章最合适的标题?)答案为B(an APP to detect potholes(检测路面有坑洼的APP)) 答题思路:利用文章主题词直接判断答案。

For each of them, there are four suggested answers. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your ANSWER SHEET with a single line trough the center.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Communication is the sending of information or news from one person to another. if human beings could not communicate with one another, each person would have to learn everything for himself, Although animals as well as men can communicate, so far as we know, they can express only the simple emotions like pain,joy,fear,huger of sounds and face movements, but we still have much to learn about these animal languages.Speech is the most important means of communication between people. But it is not the onlyone.Nor is it the oldest.We use facial expressions,gestures and hand movements to express ourfeelings and to send signals to other people. Animals use this “body language”a great deal.Thesign language used by deaf people is an example of communication without speech,while blind people communicate largely through touch and hearing.11,According to the passage, what would happen to us without communication?A.We should learn everything for ourselvesB.We would become unable to speak.C.We couldn’t live happily.D.We might have to do everything by ourselves.12.What does the passage say a about animals’communication?A.They have their advanced language in form of sound.B.They can express simple feelings such as hunger and pain.C.Some of them can communicate with people very well.D.All of them can use sound to express themselves.13.Which of the following statement is true?A.Humans do not have adequate knowledge about animal languages.B.We are now very much aware of animal languages.C.Most of animals use their facial expressiong.D.All animals make sounds to communicate with each other.14.What means of communication is used by most people?A.Facial expressions.B.Body movementsC.Speech.D.Body movement and speech.15.We can infer from the passage that the oldest form of communication between people is_____A.speechB.touch and hearingC.soundsD.body languageQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage;No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess(公爵夫人)of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times.Being thin is deemed as such a virtue.The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by i. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes.Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better——or worse——part of my life. Being rich wouldn’t be bad either, but that won’t happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land,leaving me millions of dollars.Where did we go off the track? When did eating butter become a sin,and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing,if not repellent?All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating.and excessive eating one of Christianity’s seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently,most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals.and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.Today the opposite is true.We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue.The result is that being fat——or even only somewhat overweight——is bad because it implies a lack of moralstrength.Qur obsession(迷恋)with thinness is also fueled by health coneerns.It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before,and that,in many cases, being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease.These diseases,however,may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight.And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dictary problem——too much fat and a lack of fiber——than a weight problem.The real concern,then,is not that we weigh too much,but that we neither exercise enough norEat well.Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and hing health.A balanced diet Without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases.

Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000feet at nigh,an infrared scanner Measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing Where plants were running “fevers” Farmers could then spot-spray,using 40 to 70 percent less Pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984,after 40 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984,after only three years,Farmers Resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find.But with the renewed conccrn about pesticides on produce, and fefinements in infrared scanning,Paley hopes to get back into operation.Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works,”This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States,”says George Oerther of Texas A&M.Ray Jackson, who recently retird from the Departnt of Agriculture,thisks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade.But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.21.Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are____A.sprayed with pesticidesB.facing an infrared scannerC.in poor physical conditionD.exposed to excessive sun rays22.In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely,we can use infrared scanning to___A,estimate the damage to the crops B.measure the size of the affected areaC.draw a color-coded mapD.locate the problem area23.Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by___A.rcsorting to spot-sprayingB.consulting infrared scanning expertsC,transforming poisoned rainD.detecting crop problems at an carly stage24.The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties___A.the lack of offieial supportB.its high costC.the lack of financialD.its failure to help increase production25.Infrared scanning technology may be brought bafck into operation because of___A.the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceB.growing conccrn about the exccssive use of pesticides on cropsC.the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureD.full support from agricultural expertsQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passage:The appcal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects.Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement.For example,some advertisers have appealed to people’s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage.Some ofThe products work.Others are worthless and a waste of consumers’money.Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading.A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to turned out that the bread was not dietetic(适合于节食的),but just regular bread,There fewercalories because it was sliccd very thin,but there were the same munber of calories in every loaf.On the positive side,emotional appeals may respond to a consumer’s real conccrns. Consider fire insurance.Fire insurance maybe sold by appealing to fear of loss.But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people.If consumers consider the quality of the insureance plans as well as the message in the ads,they will bencfit from the advertising.Each consumer must evaluate her of his own situation.Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it ? Advertising is intended to appcal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.26.Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by__A.stressing their high qualityB.convincing him of their low priceC.maintaining a balance between quality and priceD.appealing to his buying motives27.The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that__A,thin slices of bread could contain more caloriesB,the loaf was cut into regular slicesC,the broad was not genuine broadD,the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same28.The passage tells us that__A.sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needsB.advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things they don’t needC.the buying morives of consumers are controlled by advertisementsD.fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment29.It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should__A.think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisementsB.guard against the deceiving nature of adverisementsC.be familiar with various advertising strategiesD.avoid buying products that have strong cmotional appeal30.The passage is mainly about___A.how to make a wise buying decisionB.ways to protect the interess of the consumerC.the positive and negative aspects of advertisingD.the function of advertisements in promoting salesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage,choose the best answer from the choices givenbelow.Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.When television first began to expand,very few of the people who had become famous as radio commentators were able to be effective on television,.Some of the difficulties they exspericnced when were trying to 31 themselves to the new medium were technical.When working on radio.for example,they had become 32 to seeing on behalf of the listener.This 33 of seeing for others means that the commcntator has to be very good at talking.Above all,he has to be able to 34 a continuous sequence of visual images which 35 meaning to the sounds which the listenerhears.In the 36 of television,however,the commentator seeseverything with the viewer.His role,therefore,is completely different.He is there to make 37 that the viewer does not niss some point of interest, to help him focus on particular things,and to 38 the images on the television serene Unlike his radio colleague,he mustg know the 39 of silence and how to use it at those moments 40 the picrures speak for themselves.31.A.turn B adapt C. alter D modify32.A.experienced B.determined C established D accustomed33.A.efficiency B.technology C.art D performance34.A.inspire B.create C.cause D.perceive35.A.add B.apply C.affect D.reflect36.A.occasion B.event C.fact D.case37.A.definite B,possible C,sure D.clear38.A.exhibit B.demonstrate C.expose D.interpret39.A.purpose B.goal C.value D.intention40.A.if B.when C.which D.asPart Four Dialogue CompletionDirections:There are ten short incomplete dialogues between two speakers ,each followed by four choices marded A.B .C and D.Choose the answer that appropriately suits the conversational contest and best completes the dialogue.
