问答题Practice 8 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Some people think people have benefited from modern communications technology, but other people think some people have not benefited at all. To what extent do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Daily communication tools make the distance between people shrink. There are various ways such as mobile phones, Facebook, Twitter and E-mail which changes our life from daily life to work style. As for the dramatic and rapid changes, people in all walks of life hold different opinions. Personally, it is a must to be tolerant of the new technological innovations.
It is undeniable that all these high-tech tools can alienate the virtual interpersonal relationship that exists between people. If we want to tell somebody something, we do not have to really see him, and we can send a short message, a E-mail, or leave one on Facebook. Regardless of the convenience, face-to-face conversations are still one of the best ways to understand each other.
High technologies provide us with more choices which can yield higher efficiency, which can be illustrated from three perspectives. Firstly, it is a useful time-saver for people greatly enjoy social life. Social network enable them to spare the trouble of heavy traffic in rush hours when they need to have contact with friends. Secondly, it is also a money-saver. Compared with the high cost of an official visit to someone or some place, chatting on-site or through telephone is much cheaper. If each company has an E-conference system, information sharing should never be a daydream in the era of information. Lastly, and most importantly, with the great help of new inventions, people may communicate with others without being limited to geographical difference. Namely, no matter where one stays, he or she can get in touch with people on the Internet at any time.
In summary, modem technologies are excellent assistants of our life and work, so it is wise to accept them and make full use of them properly.解析： 暂无解析 -

单选题Which of the following is true about the Internet according to the passage?AAmericans were more in contact before the advent of the Internet.
BThe Internet is weakening the tie of social networks.
CIf you use the internet, you are more likely to get help from network members.
DInternet users are more likely to receive help from non-users.
正确答案： B解析：
录音中最后一句提到“Internet users are more likely than non-users to receive help from network members.”(网络用户比非网络用户更有可能获得来自网络成员的帮助)，由此可知如果你使用网络，你更有可能得到网络成员的帮助，所以选C。
【录音原文】
As the size of a person’s social network increases, it becomes more difficult for people to contact a large percentage of network members. The percentage of one’s social network contacted declines as network size grows. This pattern holds true for almost all forms of contact analyzed in the Social Ties survey. The one exception is email.
As the size of people’s social network increases, the percentage of one’s social network contacted weekly by email does not decline, but remains about the same at about 20% of their ties. Several qualities of email help explain this finding. Email enables people to maintain more relationships easily because it is convenient as a communication tool and it gives the control in managing communication. The nature of email is such that people could carry on conversations at different times and at their leisure. This makes it possible for a quick note to an associate, whether it is about important news or seeking advice on an important decision. Moreover, it is almost as easy to email a message to many people as it is to email to only one...
Contrary to fears that email would reduce other forms of contact, there is “media multiplexity”: that is, the more contact by email, the more in-person and phone contact. Therefore, Americans are probably more in contact with members of their communities and social networks than before the advent of the Internet. And Internet users are more likely than non-users to receive help from network members. -

问答题Practice 11 Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. It is easy to make judgments about people and their actions when we do not know anything about their circumstances or what motivated them to take those actions. But we should look beyond a person’s actions. When people do things that we consider outrageous, inconsiderate, or harmful, we should try to understand why they acted as they did. Assignment: Is it important to try to understand people’s motivations before judging their actions? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Why do people do the things they do? Sometimes it’s not that difficult to understand a person’s motivation; A father may choose to work a second job, which may take him away from his family for long periods of time. He doesn’t want to be an absent father, but he believes that his actions will eventually benefit his family. He is motivated by his love for his wife and children. A mother may choose to forego buying herself new clothes or jewelry so that she can be sure her children have enough to eat, nice clothes, and toys. Her motivation is also her love of her family. But when it comes to people whose motivations are a mystery to us, it is always important to try and decipher their feelings so as to help them (or keep them from hurting anyone else).
What motivates certain people to kill? If we can answer that question, we may be able to identify such inclinations in others and so prevent them from acting out their anger. For surely it is anger that frequently leads to violence. A political assassin, for example, is typically infuriated by the way his country is being run by the current leaders. If there had been some way to know how outraged Lee Harvey Oswald was, or SirhanSirhan, or James Earl Ray, there might have been some way to prevent the deaths of John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr. If only someone had been able to gain some insight into the workings of Timothy McVeigh’s maddened mind, the tragedy of Oklahoma City in 1995 might have been averted.
In other cases, it is not anger, necessarily, but more likely despair that motivates people to commit desperate acts. In 1995, Susan Smith was convicted of the unspeakable act of drowning her two young sons by rolling her car into a lake with them strapped inside. Later, authorities found out that she herself had had a terrible childhood (she was regularly molested by her stepfather) and twice had tried to commit suicide. If anyone could have understood this tormented woman’s mentality, those two little boys might have been saved.
It is easy to condemn a person for committing a despicable act. It is much harder to discover what their motivation was for acting in such a tragic way, but it is worth the effort.解析： 暂无解析 -

第15题：
The traffic lights were red when the driver reached them．To the surprise of his passenger,the ear did not slow down．Unexpectedly the passenger was thrown forward in the vehicle as the driver put on his brakes at the last moment．The car stopped just in time.
"Sorry,I didn't notice the light．I thought it was green until I saw that it was the top light which was shining."
This strange story is quite true．About ten men in every hundred are color blind in some way;women are luckier--only about one in two hundred suffers from color blindness.
In some cases,a man may not be able to see deep red．He may think that red,orange and yellow are all the same as green.
People often like one color more than others．Blue is the color of the sky and sea．Green makes us think of fields and trees．Red is the color of blood and makes some people think of danger．Black is the color of night．In the dark we cannot see what is around us so we are sometimes afraid of the unknown and do not like black as a color.

单选题According to the passage, which of the following statements about the Tuskegee Airmen is TRUE?AIn World WarⅡ, they never lost a bomber to enemy fire.
BThey were the first group of black soldiers ever trained by the ground troops.
CThey were not subjected to racial discrimination in the army.
DThey were already soldiers in the ground troops before their training at Tuskegee began.
正确答案： D解析：
细节理解题。根据文章的第三段第二句“They did not lose any of the bombers they were escorting”可知，在战争中，他们从来没有失去他们护航的任何一架轰炸机。而A项说的是他们没有遗失一架轰炸机给敌人火力。与A项说法一致，所以A是正确选项。根据文中第二段“The first African-American airmen reported for duty in l941.”可知，他们是第一批报到的空军，而B项的描述是他们是第一批受陆军训练的黑人士兵，原文并没有提到这一点，所以B项错误。根据文中第一段“separated you from other soldiers because of the color of your skin”以及后面的第三，四段可知，他们即使在军队里也被歧视，也受到了种族歧视的影响，C项描述完全相反。由文中第二段第二句“Before that, African Americans could only serve in the Armed Forces as part of the ground troops.”可知，第一批被训练的空军之前是作为地面部队的一部分为武装部队服役，服役指的是参加部队的劳动或是参军，所以不代表他们都是地面部队的士兵。故D项错误。 -

问答题Practice 1 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Some teachers think it is effective for students to study in a group while others think it is better to study alone. What are the benefits of each study method and which one do you think is more effective? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
As for choosing a better way of learning, some people believe that group learning is efficient in many aspects, while, others, on the contrary, think that individual learning can be give big harvests. Personally, both sides of the issue should be taken into consideration as follows.
The benefits of teamwork can be illustrated from two aspects: For one thing, the solidarity and power of a team can not be compared with by only an individual, which makes it possible the accomplishment of more advanced and tougher missions And at the same time, one can learn the good points which they do not have from their partners. For the other thing, it is also significant for people to improve their communicative skills in learning and social activities. Apparently, interpersonal relationships are among the most important ones in people's daily activities. At the same time, group learning means more people are sharing the fees, which can lower the ecomic burden of students. Anyhow, abtaining an equal chance to pursue education is of fundamental importance.
When it comes to learning individually, however, also two main benefits should be manifested: Firstly, it cultivates one's independence step by step. In other words, one tries to explore what he wants to learn through learning and thinking individually. Moreover, if one has to accomplish a project all by himself, it will be definitely necessary for him to devote himself to studying without any disruptions. With preoccupation, he may discover something new, besides discovering knowledge already existing, which is superior to group learning.
To sum up, both group and individual learning are essential to students. The ways vary from person to person based on one’s own demands and desires of learning. To solve this problem more efficiently and effectively, governments and experts should consider over this issue more insightfully and prudently.解析： 暂无解析
