问答题Practice 6 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Some people believe that these environmental problems are too big for individuals to deal with, while others think that individuals should take some action. Discuss both views and give your opinion. You should write at least 250 words.正确答案:【参考范文】 Nowadays, environmental protection has become an urgent task, and who should take the responsibility or more responsibility? Some experts believe that as long as all the citizens take actions on to protect the environment, could the pollution problem be solved. On the contrary, others think that some problems are too big for citizens and the government should take the duty. Personally, the two sides can not be separated. There are at least three things which are within individual’s reach: Firstly, developing green habits is contributing to the environment. It is a good one to conserve nonrenewable resources in daily routines. Not only should people make full use of the nonrenewable resources but also try to use some alternative ones. Secondly, it is fashionable for young people to follow the new trend called the low-carbon lifestyle. The idea of “low carbon” is to complete daily routines without discharging much waste. Lastly, people can also enhance the green awareness day by day as the society makes progress. If people have environmental-friendly values, they will protect the local surroundings without deliberate reminders. Individuals, however, can not do everything as their capabilities are limited. Firstly, as for some huge constructions like dams or power stations, it is impossible for individuals to build or even think about them out of the restriction of funds and labors. Furthermore, individuals do not have force to stop illegal damages to the environment. Only if the legislative authorities draw up and put into practice relevant laws can citizens have rules to obey and can the destroyers be punished based on legal grounds. Lastly, citizens can only realize the importance on their own, but there is little chance to popularize these ideas to the public, so the media should make more effort by designing a theme TV program about eco-protection for the general public to have a full awareness of eco-protection. As is mentioned above, protecting the local environment is the obligation for both individuals and the government. The government should make more efforts and build a platform on which citizens can have the chance to make some contributions.解析:暂无解析

There’s no doubt that nanotechnology promises so much for civilization. However, all new technologies have their teething problems, And with nanotechnology, society often gets the wrong idea about its capabilities. Numerous science-fiction books and movies have raised people’s fears about nanotechnology ---with scenarios such as inserting little nano-robots into your body that monitor everything you do without you realizing it,or self-replicating nano-robots that eventually take over the world.So how do we safeguard such a potentially powerful technology? Some scientists recommend that nano-particles be treated as new chemicals with separate safety tests and clear labelling. They believe that greater care should also be taken with nano-particles in laboratories and factories. Others have called for a withdrawal of new nano products such as cosmetics and a temporary halt to many kinds of nanotech research.But as far as I’m concerned there’s a need to plough ahead with the discoveries and applications of nanotechnology.I really believe that most scientists would welcome a way to guard against unethical uses of such technology. We can’t go around thinking that all innovation is bad.all advancement is bad. As with the debate about any new technology.it is how you use it that’s important.So let’s look at some of its possible uses.Thanks to nanotechnology, there could be a major breakthrough in the field of transportation with the production of more durable metals. These could be virtually unbreakable, lighter and much more pliable leading to planes that are 50 times lighter than at present. Those same improved capabilities will dramatically reduce the cost of traveling into space making it more accessible to ordinary people and opening up a totally new holiday destination.In terms of technology, the computer industry will be able to shrink computer parts down to minute sizes. We need nanotechnology in order to create a new generation of computers that will work even faster and will have a million times more memory but will be about the size of a sugar cube. Nanotechnology could also revolutionise the way that we generate power .The cost of solar cells will be drastically reduced so harnessing this energy will be far more economical than at present.
The author says that some scientists believe that nano-particles___A. should be used with more caution
B. Should be restricted to secure environments
C. Should only be developed for essential products
D. Should halt to do many kinds nanotech research答案:A解析:

BWe once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.“You could win prizes,’’our teacher told US as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing,“The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster. ”We studied the board critically. Some of US looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard,rocking the sheets to the fight or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten—dollar grand prize,each and every one of US. I'm going to spend mine on candies,one hopeful would announce,while another practiced looking serious,wise and rich.Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of US used big designs,and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one comer of our poster and let the space draw the viewer's attention to it. Some of US would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the soil they seemed especially fond of。making all of US believe we had a fair chance,and then always—always—rewarding the same old winners.I believe I drew a sailboat,but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen,and then I turned it in.Minutes passed.No one came along to give me the grand prize,and then someone distracted me,and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.I was still sitting at my desk,thinking,What poster? When the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.46. What was the teacher's requirement for the poster?A. It must appear in time.B. It must be done in class.C. It must be done on a construction sheet.D. It must include the words on the blackboard.正确答案:D【解析】细节理解题。由第二段末句,老师说的话You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster可知。

问答题Practice 3 We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us.. that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under god, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.(The Gettysburg Address—Abraham Lincoln)正确答案:【参考译文】 此刻,我们在这场战争的一个伟大的战场上集会。我们来到这里,将这个战场上的一小块土地奉献给那些在此为国捐躯的勇士,作为他们长眠之地。我们这样做是完全应当的。 但是,从深层意义上讲,我们无从奉献这块土地,无从使之成为圣地,也无从使之变为万众景仰之地,因为曾在这里奋战过的、活着的和死去的英雄,已经使这块土地神圣化了,远非我们的菲薄之力所能扬抑。我们今天在这里所说的话,世人不大会注意,也不会长久记住,但是英雄们的业绩,人们将永志不忘。我们这些活着的人,应该献身于英雄们曾在此为之浴血奋战、勇敢奋斗的未竞事业。我们应该献身于他们遗留给我们的伟大任务。这些先烈为了伟大的事业而尽忠,我们应该以他们为榜样,更加致力于他们未竞的事业。我们在此下定决心,绝不让先烈们的鲜血白流。我们要使我们国家在上帝的庇佑下,自由获得新生,使我们这个民有、民治、民享的政府与世长存。解析:暂无解析

问答题Practice 9 Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate we can not consecrate we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion— that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.正确答案:【参考译文】 87年以前,我们的祖先在这大陆上建立了一个新的国家,它孕育于自由之中,并献身于一种理念,即所有人都生来平等。 当前,我们正在从事一场伟大的内战。这场战争对于这个国家,或任何一个有这种主张和这种信仰的国家能否长久生存下去,都是一个考验。此刻,我们在这场战争的一个伟大的战场上集会。我们来到这里,把战场上的一部分土地奉献给在此为这个国家的生存而牺牲了自己生命的人,作为他们的永久安息之所。我们这样做,是十分合情合理的。 可是,就更深一层意义而言,我们其实是不可能奉献这片土地,不可能使它成为圣地,也不可能把它变为人们景仰之所。那些在这里战斗过的勇士,活着的和死去的,已使这块土地神圣化了,远非我们微薄的能力所能改变。我们此时此刻所说的话,世人不大会注意,更不会长久记忆;然而勇士们在这里的所作所为,人们将永志不忘。倒是我们活着的人,应当献身于那些曾经在此作战的人们所英勇推动而尚未完成的工作。我们应该在此献身于摆在我们面前的伟大任务——由于他们的光荣牺牲,我们要更坚定地致力于他们毫无保留地为之作出最后贡献的事业——我们在此不能让他们白白牺牲:要使这个国家在上帝庇佑之下,获得自由的新生,要使这个民有、民治、民享的政府不会从地球上消失。解析:暂无解析

I met him on the Internet and we chatted for several months. Every time I suggested we meet in person,he would come up with an excuse. I thought it was strange-but he told me that he had not gotten over the death of his wife and he was still grieving for her.I thought that he needed a friend and decided that I could be that friend. We sent cards, exchanged gifts,talked on the phone and I was sure that we would meet someday. I had spoken with his children so I was sure that what he told me was true. I could not wait for the day when we would meet. I was so looking forward to being able to reach out and touch him. To hug him,to hold him and feel his big strong arms around me.After almost two years of time,thousands of dollars on long distance phone calls,I was very frustrated at the endless stream of excuses as to why we could never seem to make a time to meet. Finally,contacted the website WhoisHe. com and asked if they could check out the man who had taken up so much of my heart,my energy and my life. I had enough information about him and felt that if I could confirm what he had been telling me-I could feel okay about these delays. I had hopes that I didn't want to dash if he was telling the truth. I believed I could wait a little while longer.Well, I am glad that I decided to have him checked out-he was nothing he claimed to be. He was first and foremost a married man. He was not a man grieving for the loss of his wife. He was a man cheating on his wife,with me-and I found out later,with countless others on the“net”. He did not care that he had hurt me in a very deep and pathetic way. He talked of spending his life together with me. He told my son that he wanted to make me happy. Basically,he just lied. He was such a good liar I did not see it coming. It was as if he had been able to worm his way into my heart-and he didn't care about the effect he had on my hopes and dreams.Each of us should look at the signs that are so clear if we are willing to see them. Do not let someone keep making excuse after excuse. If something feels wrong-likely it is. It is good to know the truth and be able to deal with it. Next time I will pay more attention. I may never be able to trust someone online again.It can be inferred from Para. 4 that______.A.the man was a single person in realityB.the woman was the man's only girlfriendC.the man had too many girlfriends on the netD.the woman had countless online boyfriends正确答案:C解析:推断题。题干大意:从第四段能推断出……。根据第四段第三句和第四句可推知,这位男士在网上有许多女友。因此C项是正确选项。
