| 对学生提示：高分范例 Describe a vehicle You should say what this vehicle is what this vehicle looks like what features this vehicle has and explain why you think this vehecle is special Speaking of a vehicle, I wanna talk about the new beetle convertible from Volkswagen. The latest new beetle convertible has a classic retro look. And its convertible top is super cool and absolutely eye-catching. The top can be folded into a spoiler, giveing it the look and feel of a vintage rececar. Among all the optional colors, classic beige is my favorite. It possesses a great safety record. For starters, it has auto-locking doors. Once a VW hits 8 miles per hour, the doors automatically lock, which helps to keep the passengers inside safe. And another highlight is the ARP system(Automatic Rollover Protection). Say, underneath the headrests in the back seat are two hidden steel beams. They’re pneumatically deployed as soon as a rollover is detected. Just like airbags, they are super fast and specifically designed to minimize the risk of injury in the event of a rollover. Besides, ABS(Anti-lock Braking System) is another selling point. It’s an eletronically regulated hydraulic braking system which helps prevent the vehicle from sliding under hard braking by preventing wheel lock-up. ABS, some say it means “Always Brake Safely.” Totally makes sense. When it comes to a real classic car, safety and look are two important factors. As far as I am concerned, the fun of driving a car is to get the maximum joy. The top track speed of 125 miles per hour totally satifies my desire. The new beetle convertible comes equipped with 10 speakers and a built-in CD player. When I turn it on, the party starts. It is awesome! So here is what a real fancy car offers me,speed, beauty and joy! |

"Although it may appear quirky, his decision to study yawning was a logical extension to human beings of my research in developmental neuroscience, reported in such papers as "Wing-flapping during Development and Evolution. " As a neurobehavioral problem, there is not much difference between the wing-flapping of birds and the face- and body-flapping of human yawners. B Yawning is an ancient, primitive act. Humans do it even before they are born, opening wide in the womb . Some snakes unhinge their jaws to do it. One species of penguins yawns as part of mating. Only now are researchers beginning to understand why we yawn, when we yawn and why we yawn back. A professor of cognitive neuroscience at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Steven Platek, studies the act of contagious yawning, something done only by people and other primates. C In his first experiment, he used a psychological test to rank people on their empathic feelings. He found that participants who did not score high on compassion did not yawn back. "We literally had people saying, ‘Why am I looking at people yawning?"’ Professor Platek said. "It just had no effect. " D For his second experiment, he put 10 students in an magnetic resonance imaging machine as they watched video tapes of people yawning. When the students watched the videos, the part of the brain which reacted was the part scientists believe controls empathy - the posterior cingulate, in the brain’s middle rear. " I don’t know if it's necessarily that nice people yawn more, but I think it’s a good indicator of a state of mind, "said Professor Platek. "It’s also a good indicator if you’re empathizing with me and paying attention. " E His third experiment is studying yawning in those with brain disorders, such as autism and schizophrenia, in which victims have difficulty connecting emotionally with others. A psychology professor at the University of Maryland, Robert Provine, is one of the few other researchers into yawning. He found the basic yawn lasts about six seconds and they come in bouts with an interval of about 68 seconds. Men and women yawn or half-yawn equally often, but men are significantly less likely to cover their mouths which may indicate complex distinction in genders. " A watched yawner never yawns, " Professor Provine said. However, the physical root of yawning remains a mystery. Some researchers say it’s coordinated within the hypothalamus of the brain, the area that also controls breathing. F Yawning and stretching also share properties and may be performed together as parts of a global motor complex. But they do not always co-occur-people usually yawn when we stretch, but we don’t always stretch when we yawn,especially before bedtime. Studies by J. I. P, G. H. A. Visser and H. F. Prechtl in the early 1980s, charting movement in the developing fetus using ultrasound, observed not just yawning but a link between yawning and stretching as early as the end of the first renatal trimester. G The most extraordinary demonstration of the yawn-stretch linkage occurs in many people paralyzed on one side of their body because of brain damage caused by a stroke. The prominent British neurologist Sir Francis Walshe noted in 1923 that when these hemiplegics yawn, they are startled and mystified to observe that their otherwise paralyzed arm rises and flexes automatically in what neurologists term an "associated response. " Yawning apparently activates undamaged, unconsciously controlled connections between the brain and the cord motor system innervating the paralyzed limb. It is not known whether the associated response is a positive prognosis for recovery, nor whether yawning is therapeutic for reinnervation or prevention of muscular atrophy. H Clinical neurology offers other surprises. Some patients with "locked-in" syndrome, who are almost totally deprived of the ability to move voluntarily, can yawn normally. The neural circuits for spontaneous yawning must exist in the brain stem near other respiratory and vasomotor centers, because yawning is performed by anencephalic(无脑畸形) who possess only the medulla oblongata. The multiplicity of stimuli of contagious yawning, by contrast, implicates many higher brain regions. 答案： （仅供参考）： 14. D 15. B 16. E 17. A 18. B 19. F 20. B Leeds 21. C London 22. A Aryrn 23.

We had become so fed up of people visiting our advice centre in Salford, Greater Manchester, to complain about incomprehensible forms that we thought we ought to take action. At the time the shredding seemed like merely throwing sand in the eyes of the charging lion, but it briefly caught the public imagination and left an impression on government and business. Although we're pleased with the new plain English awareness in government departments, many local councils and businesses maintain a stout resistance to change, one council began a letter to its tenants about a rent increase with two sentences averaging 95 words, full of bizarre housing finance jargon and waffle about Acts of Parliament. The London Borough of Ealing sent such an incomprehensible letter to ISO residents that 40 of them wrote or telephoned to complain and ask for clarification. Many were upset and frightened that the council was planning to imprison them if they didn't fill in the accompanying form. In fact the letter meant nothing of the sort, and the council had to send another letter to explain B Plain legal English can be used as a marketing tactic. Provincial Insurance issued their plain English Home Cover policy in 1983 and sold it heavily as such. In the first 18 months its sales rocketed, drawing in about an extra ￡1. 5 million of business. Recently, the Eagle Star Group launched a plain English policy to a chorus of congratulatory letters from policyholders. People, it seems, prefer to buy a policy they can understand. C Two kinds of instructions give us a lot of concern - medical labels and do-it-yourself products. With medical labels there is a serious gap between what the professionals think is clear and what is really clear to patients. A survey by pharmacists Raynor and Sillito found that 31% of patients misunderstood the instruction on eye drops 'To be instilled', while 33% misunderstood 'Use sparingly'. The instruction 'Take two tablets 4 hourly' is so prone to misunderstanding (for example, as 8 tablets an hour) that we think it should be banned. Unclear instructions on do-it-yourself products cause expense and frustration to customers. Writing the necessary instructions for these products is usually entrusted to someone who knows the product inside out, yet the best qualification for writing instructions is ignorance. The writer is then like a first-time user, discovering how to use the product in a step-by-step way. Instructions never seem to be tested with first-time users before being issued. So vital steps are missed out or components are mislabeled or not labelled at all. For example, the instructions for assembling a sliding door gear say: 'The pendant bolt centres are fixed and should be at an equal distance from the centre of the door. 'This neglects to explain who should do the fixing and how the bolt centres will get into the correct position. By using an imperative and an active verb the instruction becomes much clearer: 'Make sure you fix the centres of the pendant bolts at an equal distance from the centre of the door. ' D Effectively, the Plain English movement in the US began with President Jimmy Carter's Executive Order 12044 of 23 March 1978, that required regulations to be written in plain language. There were earlier government efforts to inform consumers about their rights and obligations, such as the Truth in Lending Act (1969) and the Fair Credit Billing Act (1975), which emphasized a body of information that consumers need in simple language. But President Carter's executive order gave the prestige and force of a president to the movement. All over the country isolated revolts or efforts against legalistic gobbledygook at the federal, state and corporate levels seemed to grow into a small revolution. These efforts and advances between the years 1978 and 1985 are described in the panel 'The Plain English Scorecard'. E The Bastille (巴士底狱) has not fallen yet. The forces of resistance are strong, as one can see from the case of Pennsylvania as cited in the Scorecard. In addition, President Ronald Reagan's executive order of 19 February 1981, revoking President Carter's earlier executive order, has definitely slowed the pace of plain English legislation in the United States. There are three main objections to the idea of plain English. They are given below, with the campaign's answers to them: F The statute would cause unending litigation and clog the courts. Simply not true in all the ten states with plain English laws for consumer contracts and the 34 states with laws or regulations for insurance policies. Since 1978 when plain English law went into effect in New York there have been only four litigations and only two decisions. Massachusetts had zero cases. The cost of compliance would be enormous. Translation of legal contracts into non-legal everyday language would be a waste of time and money. The experience of several corporations has proved that the cost of compliance is often outweighed by solid benefits and litigation savings. Citibank of New York made history in 1975 by introducing a simplified promissory note and afterwards simplified all their forms. Citibank counsel Carl Falsenfield says: 'We have lost no money and there has been no litigation as a result of simplification. ' The cost effectiveness of clarity is demonstrable. A satisfied customer more readily signs on the bottom line and thus contributes to the corporation's bottom line. Some documents simply can't be simplified. Only legal language that has been tested for centuries in the courts is precise enough to deal with a mortgage, a deed, a lease, or an insurance policy. Here, too, the experience of several corporations and insurance companies has proved that contracts and policies can be made more understandable without sacrificing legal effectiveness. G What does the future hold for the Plain English movement? Today, American consumers are buffeted by an assortment of pressures. Never before have consumers had as many choices in areas like financial services, travel, telephone services, and supermarket products. There are about 300 long-distance phone companies in the US. Not long ago, the average supermarket carried 9, 000 items; today, it carries 22, 000. More important, this expansion of options - according to a recent report- is faced by a staggering 30 million Americans lacking the reading skills to handle the minimal demands of daily living. The consumer's need, therefore, for information expressed in plain English is more critical than ever. H What is needed today is not a brake on the movement's momentum but another push toward plain English contracts from consumers. I still hear plain English on the TV and in the streets, and read plain English in popular magazines and best-sellers, but not yet in many functional documents. Despite some victories, the war against gobbledygook is not over yet. We do well to remember, the warning of Chrissie Maher, organizer of Plain English Campaign in the UK: 'People are not just injured when medical labels are written in gobbledygook- they die. Drivers are not just hurt when their medicines don't tell them they could fall asleep at the wheel - they are killed. ' Questions 1-6 Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1? In boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet, write TRUE if the statement is true FALSE if the statement is false NOT GIVEN if the information is not given in the passage 1 In marketing area, spread of Plain English can generate economic benefit. 2 Because doctors tend to use jargon when they talk with patients, thereafter many patients usually gets confused with medicine dose. 3 After successive election over U. S president Jimmy Carter, effect of Plain English Campaign is less distinctive than that of previous one. 4 The Plain English campaigner has a problem of talking with the officials. 5 Word check is made regularly by judge in the court scenario. 6 Compared with situation of the past, consumers are now facing less intensity of label reading pressure in supermarket in America. Questions 7-14 Summary Complete the following summary of the paragraphs of Reading Passage, using no more than three words from the Reading Passage for each answer. Write your answers in boxes 7-14 on your answer sheet. Campaigners experienced a council renting document full of strange 7 of housing in terms of an Act.

Task 2: There are more new towns nowadays . It is more important to include public parks and sports facilities than shopping centers for individuals to spend their free time. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 分析： 社会生活类话题 双边讨论类 类似旧题： There are increasing numbers of people living in towns where it is widely believed that some infrastructure facilities are in real need for the residents. However, when it comes to this, people tend to prefer shopping malls to public parks and sports facilities. Personally, I hold the opposite standpoint. It is known to all that modern citizens are accustomed to sedentary but unhealthy lifestyle, which apparently results in several health problems like obesity. This manifests a fact that it is imperative for them to step out for a walk or do some sports outside to convert this situation. Under this circumstance, parks and sporting infrastructures should be constructed to appeal to all ages especially those who are inclined to be inactive. Furthermore, the construction of parks and exercising facilities is not only beneficial to individuals but also conducive to beautifying the city’s environment and improving the air quality locally as well by decorating the surroundings with green vegetation which plays a crucial role in absorbing extra carbon dioxide in the air. The arrangement of shopping center, however, is also understandable because citizens, women in particular, regard shopping as a rather relaxing way. People working for a whole day deem that purchasing can contribute to releasing their pressure from both work and life. Moreover, shoppers’ consumption can stimulate the advancement of local economy from the perspective of government authorities, which to some extent can be a contributory factor to enhance people’s living standard. Having considered all the arguments above, personally, I am convinced that merits of the former outweigh the latter. Therefore, the priority should be given to infrastructures associated with public parks and athletic sports so that both dwellers and their surroundings can benefit more from it. |
