the importance of the co-work and joint efforts. (6)

The first example is that

in the case of a natural disaster, mutual help and support among people is of great significance.

(7)

Opposite case in point is that

as our country is now entering into a new stage, construction of a harmonious society makes it a necessity to cultivate the teamwork spirit and establish a supporting system in which people are able to depend on each other.

(8)

Therefore

, concerted and joint efforts can work wonders.

(9)To sum up the above argument, we should find several solutions to it.(10)For one thing, our government should lose no opportunities to publicize the concept of mutual help and the importance of depending on one another. (11) For another, we individuals should be under no circumstances overwhelmed and consumed by setbacks and failures.

(12) Only in this way should we stand firmly up to these challenges.

Study the following pictures carefullyand write an essay of about 150 words.

Your essay should cover all the information provided and meet the requirement below: 1. Interpret the following pictures.

2.

Give your phenomenon.

reasons to this

(1)

As is shown in the picture

, the situation of college students employment is worsening, as it is hard for them to be accepted by an employer upon graduation. (2)

In the two bar pictures

we can see that the number of both college graduates and post graduates increased from 1990 to 2001. (3)

As is shown in the following pictures

, nearly 50,000, or 10% of college graduates in the city become jobless in the year 2001. (4)

It is safe to draw the conclusion that

college students, once the "God favored few", are now in their hard times.

(5)

There are many reasons responsible for this phenomenon and the following are the typical ones.

(6)

The first reason is that

the city's economic structure is changing so fast that many college graduates are not ready for the challenge. (7)

The second reason is that

type of economy has been

changed to the knowledge economy that features high and new technologies and modern management. The requirement to graduates is more and more high. (8) The third reason is that many universities failed to change their education plans to meet the society's needs, so that they will not be able to produce students fully prepared. As a result, it is not hard to see that many students cannot find a job that matches their majors.

(9) In order to improve the situation, we should find several solutions to it.

(10) For one thing , the unemployment rate will continue to fall as more and more graduates choose to further their education. (11) For another, college graduates should be encouraged to take the post which may not matches their majors and keep learning in the process of practice. (12) Only in this way, can in the society.

college students find job opportunities

张冠李戴 例

1. Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death – probably by a deadly injection or pill--to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as terminally ill by two doctors.

After a "cooling off" period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request.

After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally III law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. "I'm not afraid of dying from

a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks, " he says.When Lloyd Nickson dies, he will ______ .

A. face his death with calm characteristic of euthanasia B. B. experience the suffering of a lung cancer patient C. have an intense fear of terrible suffering D. undergo a cooling off period of seven days

2. The researches suggest that capuchin monkeys(

卷 尾 猴

) , like humans, are guided by social emotions.

In the wild, they are a cooperative, group living species. Such cooperation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated . Feelings of righteous indignation, it seems, are not the preserve of people alone.

Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly clear to other members of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.

What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Monkeys can be trained to develop social emotions.

B. Human indignation evolved from an uncertain source.

C. Animals usually show their feelings openly as humans do.

D. Cooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild.

When I decided to quit my full time employment it never occurred to me that I might become a part of a new international trend.

A. Full-time employment is a new international trend.

B. The writer was compelled by circumstances to leave her job.

C.

以偏概全

We live a society in which the medicinal and social use of substances (drugs) is pervasive: an aspirin to quiet a headache, some wine to be sociable, coffee to get going in the morning, a cigarette for the nerves.

When do these socially acceptable and apparently constructive uses of a substance become misuses? First of all, most substances taken in excess will produce negative effects such as poisoning or intense perceptual distortions. Repeated use of a substance can also lead to physical addiction or substance dependence. Dependence is marked first by an increased tolerance, with more and more of the substance required to produce the desired effect, and then by the appearance of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when the substance is discontinued.

Physical dependence on certain substances results from ________.

A. uncontrolled consumption of them over long periods of time B. exclusive use of them for social purposes C. quantitative application of them to the treatment of diseases D. careless employment of them for unpleasant symptoms

添油加醋 例

Moreover, demographers see the continuing shift south and west as joined by a related but newer phenomenon: More and more, Americans apparently are looking not just for places with more jobs but with fewer people, too. Some instances - ■ Regionally, the Rocky Mountain states reported the most rapid growth rate -- 37.1 percent since 1970 in a vast area with only 5 percent of the US population.

■ Among states, Nevada and Arizona grew fastest of all: 63.5 and 53.1 percent respectively.

Except for Florida and Texas, the top 10 in rate of growth is composed of Western states with 7.5 million people -- about 9 per square mile.

We can see from the available statistics that ________.

A. California was once the most thinly populated area in the whole US B. the top 10 states in growth rate of population were all located in the West C. cities with better climates benefited unanimously from migration D. Arizona ranked second of all states in its growth rate of population

2.

It ’ s a rough world out there. Step outside and you could break a leg slipping on your doormat. Light up the stove and you could burn down the house.

Luckily, if the doormat or stove failed to warn of coming disaster, a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles. Or so the thinking has gone since the early 1980s, when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers ’ misfortunes.

Feeling threatened, companies responded by writing ever-longer warning labels, trying to anticipate every possible accident.

Today, stepladders carry labels several inches long that warn, among other things, that you might -- surprise! -- fall off. The label on a child ’ s Batman cape cautions that the toy “ does not enable user to fly.

Manufacturers as mentioned in the passage tend to ________.

A. satisfy customers by writing long warnings on products B. become honest in describing the inadequacies of their products C. make the best use of labels to avoid legal liability D. feel obliged to view customers ’ as their first concern safety

颠倒是非 例

1.

A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous, and helpful most Americans were to them. To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American. There are, of course, exceptions. Small minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.

For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence. Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world.

In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, ________.

A. rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US B. B. small minded officials deserve a serious comment C. Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors D. most Americans are ready to offer help

2.

As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions, and conventions underlies all social interrelationships.

And, of course, speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to “ translate ” cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example, when an American uses the word “ friend, ” the cultural implications of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor ’ s language and culture.

It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish between courteous convention and individual interest.

Yet, being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.

It could be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.

A. culture exercises an influence over social interrelationship B. courteous convention and individual interest are interrelated C. various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friends D. social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions

8.

混淆视听 例

1 .

Few creations of big technology capture the imagination like giant dams.

Perhaps it is humankind ’ s long suffering at the mercy of flood and drought that makes the ideal of forcing the waters to do our bidding so fascinating.

But to be fascinated is also, sometimes, to be blind.

Several giant dam projects threaten to do more harm than good.

The lesson from dams is that big is not always beautiful.

It doesn ’ t help that building a big, powerful dam has become a symbol of achievement for nations and people striving to assert themselves.

Egypt ’ s leadership in the Arab world was cemented by the Aswan High Dam. Turkey ’ s bid for First World status includes the giant Ataturk Dam.

In paragraph 5, “ the powerless ” probably refers to ________.

A. areas short of electricity B. dams without power stations C. poor countries around India D. common people in the Narmada Dam area

9.

无中生有 American no longer expect public figures, whether in speech or in writing, to command the English language with skill and gift. Nor do they aspire to such command themselves. In his latest book, Doing Our Own Thing: The Degradation of Language and … Music and Why We Should, Like, Care, John McWhorter, a linguist and

controversialist

of mixed liberal and conservative views, sees the triumph

of 1960s counter-culture

of formal English.

as responsible for the decline Russians have a deep love for their own language and carry large chunks of memorized poetry in their heads, while Italian politicians tend to elaborate speech that would seem old-fashioned to most

English-speakers. Mr. McWhorter acknowledges that formal language is not strictly necessary, and proposes no

radical education reforms

-- he is really grieving over the loss of something beautiful more than useful. We now take our English plates instead of china.

” “ on paper A shame, perhaps, but probably an inevitable one.

According to McWhorter, the decline of formal English ________.

A. is inevitable in radical education reforms B. is but all too natural in language development C. has caused the controversy over the counter-culture D. brought about changes in public attitudes in the 1960s

二、高分解题四大原则 原则一、异曲同工原则 例

1. It ’ s a rough world out there. Step outside and you could break a leg slipping on your doormat.

Light up the stove and you could burn down the house. Luckily, if the doormat or stove failed to warn of coming disaster, a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles. Or so the thinking has gone since the early 1980s, when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers ’ misfortunes.

What were things like in 1980s when accidents happened?

A. Customers might be relieved of their disasters through lawsuits.

B. Injured customers could expect protection from the legal system.

C. Companies would avoid being sued by providing new warnings.

D. Juries tended to find fault with the compensations companies promised.

2.

If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to the audience

and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view.

Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different.

If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.

To make your humor work, you should ________.

A. take advantage of different kinds of audience B. make fun of the disorganized people C. address different problems to different people D. show sympathy for your listeners

原则二、顺应主旨原则 例

1.

There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide: stay alive, but have fewer children. Few people are as fertile as in the past. Except in some religious communities, very few women have 15 children. Nowadays the number of births, like the age of death, has become average. Most of us have roughly the same number of offspring. Again,

differences between people and the opportunity for natural selection to take advantage of it have diminished.

India shows what is happening. The country offers wealth for a few in the great cities and poverty for the remaining tribal peoples. The grand mediocrity of today -- everyone being the same in survival and number of offspring -- means that

natural selection has lost 80% of its power in upper-middle-class India compared to the tribes.

What does the example of India illustrate?

A. Wealthy people tend to have fewer children than poor people.

B. Natural selection hardly works among the rich and the poor.

C. The middle class population is 80% smaller than that of the tribes.

D. India is one of the countries with a very high birth rate.

2.

Wild Bill Donovan would have loved the Internet.

The American spymaster who built the Office of Strategic Services in the World War II and later laid the roots for the CIA was fascinated with information. Donovan believed in using whatever tools came to hand in the spying as a “ profession.

” “ great game ” of espionage - These days the Net, which has already re-made such everyday pastimes as buying books and sending mail, is reshaping Donovan ’ s vocation as well.

Donovan ’ s story is mentioned in the text to ________.

A. introduce the topic of online spying B. show how he fought for the U.S.

C. give an episode of the information war D. honor his unique services to the CIA

原则三、求新思变原则 Moreover,

demographers see the continuing shift south and west as joined by a related but newer phenomenon: More and more, Americans apparently are looking not just for places with more jobs but with fewer people, too.

instances - Some ■ Regionally, the Rocky Mountain states reported the most rapid growth rate -- 37.1 percent since 1970 in a vast area with only 5 percent of the US population.

■ Among states, Nevada and Arizona grew fastest of all: 63.5 and 53.1 percent respectively. Except for Florida and Texas, the top 10 in rate of growth is composed of Western states with 7.5 million people - about 9 per square mile.

The flight from overcrowdedness affects the migration from snow belt to more bearable climates.

Nowhere do 1980 census statistics dramatize more the American search for spacious living than in the Far West.

There, California added 3.7 million to its population in the 1970s, more than any other state.

The census distinguished itself from previous studies on population movement in that ________.

A. it stresses the climatic influence on population distribution B. it highlights the contribution of continuous waves of immigrants C. it reveals the Americans ’ living new pursuit of spacious D. it elaborates the delayed effects of yesterday ’ s boom ” “ baby

原则四、中庸之道原则 Another major shift in the model for Internet commerce concerns the technology available for marketing.

Until recently, Internet marketing activities have focused on strategies to “ pull ” customers into sites. In the past year, however, software companies have developed tools that allow companies to “ push ” information directly out to consumers, transmitting marketing messages directly to targeted customers.

Most notably, the Pointcast Network uses a screen saver to deliver a continually updated stream of news and advertisements to subscribers ’ computer monitors. Subscribers can customize the information they want to receive and proceed directly to a company ’ s Web site. Companies such as Virtual Vineyards are already starting to use

similar technologies to push messages to customers about special sales, product offerings, or other events. But push technology has earned the contempt of many Web users.

Online culture thinks highly of the notion that the information flowing onto the screen comes there by specific request. Once commercial promotion begins to fill the screen uninvited, the distinction between the Web and television fades. That ’ s a prospect that horrifies Net purists.

In the view of Net purists, ________.

A. there should be no marketing messages in online culture B. money making should be given priority to on the Web C. the Web should be able to function as the television set D. there should be no online commercial information without requests

三、高分解题技巧 技巧一、回归定位法 Stratford-on-Avon, as we all know, has only one industry -- William Shakespeare -- but there are two distinctly separate and increasingly hostile branches.

There is the Royal Shakespeare Company (ASC), which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who come, not to see the plays, but to look at Anne Hathaway ’ s Cottage, Shakespeare ’ s birthplace and the other sights.

The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. They frankly dislike the RSC ’ s actors, them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness. It ’ s all deliciously

ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns their living, was himself an actor (with a beard) and did his share of noise-making.

From the first two Paragraphs, we learn that ________.

A. the townsfolk deny the RSC ’ s contribution to the town ’ s revenue B. the actors of the RSC imitate Shakespeare on and off stage C. the two branches of the RSC are not on good terms D. the townsfolk earn little from tourism

技巧二、主旨推断法 When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal. With regard … to Futurist poetry, however, the case is rather difficult, for whatever Futurist poetry may be -- even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right --

it can hardly be classed as Literature.

This, though it fulfills the laws and requirements of Futurist poetry, can hardly be classed as Literature.

All the same, no thinking man can refuse to accept their first proposition: that a great change in our emotional life calls for a change of expression.

The whole question is really this: have we essentially changed?

The author believes that Futurist poetry is ________.

A. based on reasonable principles B. new and acceptable to ordinary people C. indicative of basic change in human nature D. more of a transient phenomenon than literature

It is also less than most forecasters had predicted.

In late 1994 the panel of economists which The Economist polls each month said that America~ s inflation rate would average 3.5% in 1995. In fact, it fell to 2. 6% in August, and is expected to average only about 3% for the year as a whole. In Britain and Japan inflation is running half a percentage point below the rate predicted at the end of last year.

no flash in the pan

This is over the past couple of years, inflation has been consistently lower than expected in Britain and America.

The sentence "This is no flash in the pan" (last sentence, Paragraph 3) means that ________.

A. the low inflation rate will last for some time B. the inflation rate will soon rise C. the inflation will disappear quickly D. there is no inflation at present

技巧四、转折词定位法 Another major shift in the model for Internet commerce concerns the technology available for marketing.

Until recently, Internet marketing activities have focused on strategies to "pull" customers into sites.

In the past year, however , software companies have developed tools that allow companies to "push" information directly out to consumers, transmitting marketing messages directly to targeted customers.

Most notably, the Pointcast Network uses a screen saver to deliver a continually updated stream of news and advertisements to subscribers' computer monitors.

Subscribers can customize the information they want to receive and proceed directly to a company's Web site. Companies such as Virtual Vineyards are already

starting to use similar technologies to push messages to customers about special sales, product offerings, or other events. But push technology has earned the contempt of many Web users. Online culture thinks highly of the notion that the information flowing onto the screen comes there by specific request. Once commercial promotion begins to fill the screen uninvited, the distinction between the Web and television fades. That's a prospect that horrifies Net purists.

Speaking of the online technology available for marketing, the author implies that ________.

A. the technology is popular with many Web users B. businesses have faith in the reliability of online transactions C. there is a radical change in strategy D. it is accessible limitedly to established partners

四、考场三忌 一忌、忌主观臆断

Aimlessness has hardly been typical of the postwar Japan whose productivity and social harmony are the envy of the United States and Europe.

But increasingly the Japanese are seeing a decline of the traditional work moral values. Ten years ago young people were hard- working and saw their jobs as their primary reason for being, but now Japan has largely fulfilled its economic needs, and young people don't know where they should go next.

In the westerners' eyes, the postwar Japan was ________.

A. under aimless development B. a positive example C. a rival to the West D. on the decline

二忌、忌妄加推断

NBAC members also indicated that they will appeal to privately funded researchers and clinics not to try to clone humans by body cell nuclear transfer. But they were divided on whether to go further by calling for a federal law that would impose a complete ban on human cloning.

Shapiro and most members favored an appeal for such legislation, but in a phone interview, he said this issue was still "up in the air." It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.

A. some NBAC members hesitate to ban human cloning completely B. a law banning human cloning is to be passed in no time C. privately funded researchers will respond positively to NBAC's appeal D. the issue of human cloning will soon be settled

三忌、见树不见林

To take advantage of this tool, some impoverished countries will have to get over their outdated anti colonial prejudices with respect to foreign investment.

Countries that still think foreign investment is an invasion of their sovereignty might well study the history of infrastructure (the basic structural foundations of a society) in the United States. When the United States built its industrial infrastructure, it didn ’ t have the capital to do so. And that is why America ’ s Second Wave infrastructure - including roads, harbors, highways, ports and so on - were built with foreign investment. The English, the Germans, the Dutch and the French were investing in Britain ’ s former colony.

They financed them.

Immigrant Americans built them. Guess who owns

them now? The Americans. I believe the same thing would be true in places like Brazil or anywhere else for that matter.

The more foreign capital you have helping you build your Third Wave infrastructure, which today is an electronic infrastructure, the better off you ’ re going to be. That doesn ’ t mean lying down and becoming fooled, or letting foreign corporations run uncontrolled. But it does mean recognizing how important they can be in building the energy and telecom infrastructures needed to take full advantage of the Internet.

The writer mentioned the case of the United States to justify the policy of ________.

A. providing financial support overseas B. preventing foreign capital ’ s control C. building industrial infrastructure investment D. accepting foreign
