2.问答题So many high school graduates have no clues what they want to pursue as a career as they head off to college. So, here’s the question: How many times have you changed your major(s) while in college and what prompted the change(s)? The following are opinions from all walks of life. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:  1. summarize briefly the opinions in the excerpts;  2. give your comment.  Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Never Changed  Claire | High School Teacher: I actually never changed my major. I declared elementary education immediately and stuck with it. I thought I wanted to minor in math, but before I even took a single math class, I ended up switching to English. Aside from student teaching and a long term sub position in 5th grade immediately following graduation, I’ve actually NEVER taught elementary school. I went ahead and took the Texas exam to get certified k-12 and I’ve only taught high school since. Sometimes I wish I had just done secondary education. Sadly, I don’t actually think any of my education classes in college affected the way I teach—experience has really been the best class I’ve had.  Kevin | Accountant: I never changed my major in college! I knew exactly what I wanted, where I was going, and what I ultimately hoped to achieve after graduation with my AAS Degree in Business Management/ Accounting, I went directly to work in my chosen profession and never looked back! It served me well for about twenty-five years.  Murphy | Middle School Teacher: I never changed my major in college, but I did not declare a major until the university forced me to. I majored in Political Science simply because it interested me. Of course, when I did declare this major everyone, especially my patents, asked me what I was going to do with it and my answer was always that I wasn’t sure. I ended up receiving a teaching credential two years after receiving my B.A. in Political Science and have been teaching for the last 26 years.  Changed  Dastice | Clerk: I changed my major from Psychology to Sociology. I still minored in Psych, and also in Women’s Studies. My only drive in changing majors was that I enjoyed the classes more. I figured if I stuck with what I enjoyed then a career would somehow emerge from it once I got my degree. Knowing what I know now, however, I probably would have majored in something like business or law. After graduating with my degree I ended up working jobs that didn’t even require a college education. Experience was far more valuable, I was told.  Jenny | College Student: I, for some reason, never knew majors were a huge deal and could be almost as important as your life. I started out as an arts and Spanish major. I then realized the program my school offered for the education major took care of 4 classes I would have to take for my MA. I dropped the art major and went into the education major. My last semester came and I was at a crossroads: take the final course to complete my major in education or the class to complete my Spanish major. I do get a little upset thinking I was only one class away from another major.  Gaha | Writer: I changed it once. I started college at eighteen and a little naive as to the working world. I chose to major in Business, not sure why, in fact I don’t think I really even knew what it entailed. It wasn’t until the onset of my junior year that I came to an epiphany that I had only take a couple of business classes because they bored me out of my mind. After taking a look at my transcript, realizing that I was totally into foreign languages and literature, I decided to get into writing. And a new writer was born!

    问答题
    Some people think that financial disparity affects friendship. What do you think? The following article is discussing this issue. Read it carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:  1. summarize briefly the main opinion of the article;  2. give your comment.  Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.  When people with money are friends with people of modest means the disparities don’t typically end with the bank accounts. One person in the friendship often feels less comfortable than the other, and it tends to be the one with less money—the friend who can’t afford to join the group at the restaurant or go on the weekend trip, the one whose share may be paid for by the others.  “It doesn’t disturb the rich ones to pay,” says Horst Heidbrink, a psychology lecturer at the distance learning University of Hagen. “The rich person thinks they’re being caring. But the poorer person feels under pressure to be particularly nice.” But a lack of balance puts pressure on many friendships. Aristotelian ethics would suggest dealing with the imbalance with increased devotion by the friend with less. Friendship expert Horst Heidbrink says he wouldn’t recommend this, but his research has shown him that the give and take between friends has to be balanced.  Friendships between rich and poor people are not as unusual as one might think. In a 2014 study by the Bremen-based Allensbach Institute, 1,624 people of different ages were asked about their friendships. Forty-four percent of respondents said they had friends who were considerably better off than they were. And 41% said they were friends with people who were considerably less well off than they were. And yet that old saying to the effect that money issues can put an end to friendship still holds for many.  According to the study, friends helped each other out with moving house and renovation work, offered an ear when needed and doled out advice. But only 10% ever accepted significant loans from their richer friends. “Many people believe that borrowing money would weigh the friendship down,” Heidbrink says. “Most people would rather go to their parents because family relationships don’t depend on symmetry as much as friendships do.” Nevertheless, he says, “A good friendship can also withstand a credit.”  Although friendships between men and women are vulnerable because they are defined by different activities. With their male friends, men play sports, for example, while women and their girlfriends often just talk when they get together. “That’s where it gets harder to leave out financial situations, and there’s more comparing,” says Heidbrink. On the other hand, when two guys play soccer together, it’s not an issue if one returns to a villa and the other to a low-rent apartment.  “What counts is trust,” Heidbrink says. When trust isn’t justified—when a friend refuses to help or betrays confidences—then friendships fall apart. They don’t fall apart because one person has a lot of money in the bank and the other doesn’t. If the less well-off don’t suffer from jealousy or envy, and the better-off don’t take it too much to heart if their best friend can’t join them on that spa trip, there’s a good chance of a successful friendship.

    正确答案:
    【参考范文】
    Money Don’t Make True Friends Go The passage above believes that financial disparity, to a certain extent, affects friendship and the less well-off person would feel under pressure. In a friendship, the one with less money can’t afford a group outing or a weekend trip, and in the long run, he or she may feel estranged from their richer friends. However, as mentioned by the friendship expert Heidbrink in the passage, a long lasting friendship depends crucially on trust, rather than financial equality.
    Personally, I share the same idea with Heidbrink that mutual trust and understanding are indispensable for a successful friendship. There is no denying that economic disparity does make the life qualities different, but whether it can greatly affect a relationship deserves more discussion. It is not responsible at all to say that there can be a sense of insecurity and worthlessness if you associate with someone making more money, and consequently the friendship between the two will be unavoidably undermined. We can find around us a great number of people are in their own friendships with at least one richer people and they are pretty happy to be together. Friendship is not only a matter of money, but compromise, patience, and support. Money is something one can get through hard work, but successful friendship needs cultivation, great care and mutual understanding and one can get overwhelming support from a friend. If a friendship is truly sincere and supportive, he would sure to be considerate and would like to make necessary compromises. Both parties in a friendship should reflect their feelings about money and material things when they have some money-spurred differences. For example, if one can overcome his or her jealousy over a friend’s wealth and the newly affluent people feel no guilty about the changes and they would like to help their less wealthy friends, then the friendship between them can sure be everlasting.
    Despite the little effects caused by financial disparity, a successful friendship is mainly determined by honesty and trust.

    C

    people who said young people should be scientifically educated have the tight idea on science

    D

    正确答案: A
    解析:
    推断题。由文章可知,科学的第二个定义是:科学是一种通过对事实的观察进行逻辑推理,从而得出可靠结论的思考方法。结合上下文不难看出,作者是支持第二个定义的;根据他所列举的人们对于科学的含混概念可以推测出,作者认为科学的教育实际上是教会人进行严密的思考;哲学显然符合这些对科学的界定,故D项正确。由第二段首句可排除A项;尾句可排除C项;B项在文中没有提及,故排除。因此答案为D项。

    C

    He just wants to show the tight concept to the confused people.

    D

    He wants to make the concept clear so that people can have the right education.


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    态度题作者在文中给出了科学的真正定义,并对此进行了充分的论证,驳斥了很多人对于科学的含混概念。但作者的最终意图并不是要明确科学的概念,他在文中一再提到教育问题,就是不希望错误的科学概念导致教育方向的偏差,故答案为D项。选项A、B、C都不是作者的主要意图,皆可排除。

    问答题
    Some people think that parents should plan their children's leisure time carefully. Others believe that children should decide for themselves how to spend their free time. Which opinion do you agree? Write a composition of about 400 words to state your view.

    正确答案:
    Childhood is a decisive period in the process of one's growth. Therefore, many people think that parents should carefully plan not only their children's school education but also their spare time. Other people, however, argue that children should have the freedom to plan their own extracurricular life. On balance, I would side with those parents who respect children's freedom and independence.
    If children have the freedom to make decisions on how to spend their spare time and develop their interests, they will gradually form a sense of responsibility and become more capable in the world. Take myself as a good example. My parents are like good teachers and helpful friends in my life. As I remember, they never excessively interfered with my life and always left enough freedom to me so that I could embark upon what I liked to do in my spare time. They quite understood that my weekdays were occupied with a heavy workload, and that only in my spare time I could have a change of pace. Meanwhile, although mutual understanding and tolerance were an important part of my childhood life, in no way does it mean that they spoiled me. They were austere teachers when I made mistakes, and helpful friends when I came across difficulties. Owing to their understanding, tolerance, guidance, and above all, love, I have grown up to be a person of self-confidence, optimism, and independence, ready to meet any challenges in my life. Without the free family environment that my parents carefully designed for me, I wouldn't have lived such a happy life.
    On the contrary, some parents expect too much of their children, depriving them of all their independence and freedom. These parents would rather sacrifice their children's interests and happiness for nothing but good scores, thus resulting in serious misunderstanding between parents and children. Some parents even went so far as to plan their children's schedule, filling every minute with study task. In this ease, children are deprived of happiness because they are bound hand and foot by endless homework, numerous exams and boring evening or weekend classes. Furthermore, having no freedom to plan their own life, these children are more likely to become introvert, heavily dependent on their parents when they grow up. This will definitely affect their growth. For one thing, since they have no opportunity to develop their independent thinking and explore their potential, they will find it very difficult to adjust themselves to the competitive society. For another, confining them in an ivory tower will make it hard for them to communicate with others. This will affect their career development in the future because the communication between people plays a major role in the workplace, and is one of the most important elements in achieving career success. Obviously, parents' excessive interference with children's after-school life, if carried to the extreme, can cause serious damage to both their happy childhood and their career in the future.
    To sum up, I believe that parents should leave enough freedom and privacy to their children with a view to cultivating their character. As long as parents allow their children the necessary freedom accompanied by careful guidance, their children will grow up to be independent, responsible and successful.
    解析:

    M: If you look at any list of New Year’s resolutions you wouldn’t be surprised to see find a better job fight at the top. Vera Gibbons of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine is here with some tips to help you get a better job or maybe take on a career change. Good morning, Vera.
      W: That’s right, good morning, nice to see you.
      M: Nice to see you too. Happy New Year.
      W: Same to you.
      M: Start the new year, start looking for a new job, what’s amazing is how many people are actually thinking of doing that this year.
      W: Yes, one survey found that 75%of American workers plan to look for a new job this year. They’re unhappy with the pay; they’re unhappy with the situation at their work; they want new challenges; there’s no room for advancement with their current employer, so a lot of people are going to be out there looking for work, and this is the time of year that we are more inclined to actually take the bull by the horns, take the initiative to go out there and find that job.
      M: That whole resolution thing.
      W: Yes.
      M: Is there a good time to go about doing this?
      W: Well you know, the opportunities pop up all year long but, yes, the heaviest of hiring generally does take place at the beginning of the year, early, they fire at the end of the year, they hire in the new. They fire for Christmas, and then hire in the next year.
      M: So if you think about doing it, you really should get out there now.
      W: Get out there now and get the ball rolling, yes.
      M: What about the job market in 2007, what does it look like?
      W: It is softening a little bit, job growth is slowing down some, because of the contraction in housing and all of those sectors, but that’s been offset a bit by the service sector. Those types of companies are hiring in the service industry. We’re actually expecting 1.3 million jobs to be created this year. And one survey by Career Builder actually found 40 percent of employers will be hiring full-time employees this year. So it’s not a bad time, it’s not great, it’s OK.
      M: OK, so if you’re ready to take the plunge, if you wanna get out there, you have some tips. NO. 1 is Do Some Soul Searching.
      W: Yes, I just think in order to get out of a job that isn’t going anywhere, a career that’s gonna drift, you really have to sit down and be proactive here, you can’t be reactive you have to be proactive. Motivation is really the key to making any changes in your personal life. People may sit back and say: well I’m getting a paycheck. The benefits are good. Why rock the boat? Here’s the thing, we’re spending that half of our life in the workplace, if you’re unhappy, do some soul searching, figure out where you are, and where you would like to go.
      M: And part of that isyou say prioritize your options. What do you mean?
      W: Yeah, I mean write down 5-10 things that are important to you in your job, in your career, maybe you wanna a better work-life balance, more flexible schedule whatever that happens to be again, take a look at what’s making you happy, what makes you unhappy, take a look at your goals, your dreams, your aspirations and then put together a plan to actually reach those goals. Because you’re more inclined to get there if you have a plan in place.
      M: Good idea. You can actually write these all out. Also of course when you’re going out for that job search, you gotta have the resume, so you say make that resume stand out.
      W: Yeah, you know, employer sonly spend about 10 seconds looking at your resume and on…
      M: Ten seconds?
      W: Yeah, and get this on average for every 245 resumes, they get, they only interview one person for 245 resumes. So it’ very competitive. You need to have your resume stand out, keep it short, keep it succinct, keep it to the point, focus on your measurable accomplishments. And because you’re gonna be looking for different jobs you should be highlighting different skills, different experiences, so it may be relevant for one position but not for another, so you wanna highlight different ones, have several different versions of the resume, all ready to go, then get out there, do the networking.
      M: OK, and just briefly, you say do not look online, but do a lot of networking.
      W: A lot of networking. That’s the key.
      M: Vera Gibbons, thanks so much!
      W: Thanks.

    People should be realistic rather than romantic in order to live a better life. Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic, expressing your view on this. ROMANTIC OR REALISTIC  In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.  Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

    正确答案:
    ROMANTIC OR REALISTIC Young people tend to think that real life is as dramatic and fascinating as it is in the novels and movies, while more experienced adults disregard this opinion. Adults think this kind of naive daydream will only be destroyed by later experiences and every one should learn to get used to tedious everyday life. In fact, I believe this is a question of more than one aspect. Realism is necessary, but idealism is also indispensable to increase the quality of our life.
    Let' s first take a glance at realism and idealism in literature to see which is the reflection of human life. There have been many great realistic works describing a certain period of history. These books not only shook the world of their times, but also keep moving for centuries, among them Oliver Twist and Uncle Tom's Cabin. But many romantic stories gained high popularity as well, such as Scarlet Letter and Gone with the Wind. The literature will lose its glamour without either kind of works.
    The same is true in our life. In order to support ourselves, we should learn to produce something to lead a decent career and to earn a living that is our work, and it's realistic. But everyone can imagine what life will look like if we can not enjoy our favorite music, if all the gardens are filled with apple trees instead of red roses and golden tulips, if going fishing is not for relaxing but for earning money. That is a gray and dull picture of life. No one intends to turn our world into a world like that. Furthermore, even when we work, we can do it well and enjoy it only when we have a genuine love of it. So it is dear that romance is as important as reality.
    To see the importance of romance more dearly, we must think of the goal of our work, of our joint efforts. We work hard in order to make the world a better place to live in, in order to create more pleasant life for ourselves and our successors. If we sacrifice romance just because we want to do better work, we go away from our destination. It is unwise as anybody can see.
    So what we should do is to enjoy the blue of a clear sky, enjoy the harmony on a violin string, enjoy the excitement of sports, enjoy each deep feeling pressed on our hearts, for that is just the way life should be. However, when there are some young people who go too far away from reality, we might help them adjust and think more hardheadedly.
    解析:
    本文开门见山提出观点:现实和浪漫都是美好生活不可或缺的,然后作者从文学作品和现实生活两方面进行了论述。第四段中作者指出工作的目的是为了享受生活,由此引出最后一段:浪漫与现实必须相结合,一个人不能太过脱离现实。

    Results of Collecting Tuition As a proverb goes, there is no free lunch in this world. But this did not apply to China's higher education in the past, as students virtually paid nothing for their study. With the economic booming and growing demand for talents, universities are required to admit more students, and are allowed to collect tuition from students as well. Viewing this policy more than a decade later, we may find that it has brought about quite mixed consequences.
    The first obvious consequence is that schools can offer better teaching resources. In the past, universities got their money from the government, but it was usually not much. Now with the large amount of money from students, most universities are spending generously on teaching facilities such as teaching and dormitory buildings, multimedia equipment, and on acquisition of more books and internet access for students and teachers. These have greatly improved the hardware and software of university education, and both schools and students may profit from it.
    Another important consequence is that students' motivation in study is enhanced. This may be unexpected, but easy to understand. When students enjoyed free education, they did not view it as a hard-earned opportunity, and many who disliked their majors simply idled away their stay on campus. But when students have to pay a lot for having their classes, they will liken idling as wasting their money, consequently most of them are studying hard. It is just like you won't throw away your dishes if you eat in a luxurious restaurant. A questionnaire given to juniors and seniors in 100 universities across the nation has also supported this explanation.
    However, this policy has also placed a heavy financial burden on students' parents. The average tuition for university students now is about 5000 yuan every year, which means that parents have to prepare about 20,000 yuan to cover the education of one child. This is too heavy a load for parents in rural areas as well underdeveloped cities. There have been reports that some parents committed suicide because they felt ashamed for not being able to provide their children's tuition.
    In general, collection tuition has brought about a quite complex picture. While helping schools improve their teaching resources and encouraging students to study harder, it also creates heavy financial burden for parents. Method must to be found to tap the advantages and resolve threats from the disadvantages. Only when both aspects are taken into consideration can the new policy bring real profit to university students and the whole society.

    When I grew a bit older, I began to be sure. Her eyes were a car crash in progress. Her nose was an order issued from the darkness, a dead-straight ladder in the darkness; Her mouth was a swirling disaster; This woman had no bones and except for her brow, her bare brow, her face was nothing but a sneer; Her clothing was an umbrella that would latch onto you and pull you away, and then there were her cheeks and her fingers, unquestionably those of a decaying corpse.
