【題目】閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容進(jìn)行續(xù)寫,使之構(gòu)成一個(gè)完整的短文。

Lill was a shy , young girl who grew up in a village. At the age of 16, her father forced her to drop out of school and find a job to help the family.

With poor education, skills and hope, the young girl would take the bus into the big cities of Windsor and Detroit, walk aimlessly about and then return home every day. She couldn't even bring herself to knock on a door.

As the days passed, Lill knew she had to have the courage to knock on a door. On one of her trips, Lill saw a sign at Carhartt Overall Company, saying, “Help Wanted, Secretary. Apply Within. ” She walked up to the office and was met by the office manager Margaret, who sat her down at a typewriter and said with a smile, “Let's see how good you really are."

She directed Lill to type a single letter and then left. Lill looked at the clock 11: 40 am. She figured that she could run away in the crowd when the clock struck 12. But she knew she should at least stay and give it a try.

On her first try, she got through one line. It had five words and she made four mistakes. She pulled the paper out and threw it away. The clock read 11: 45. “In fifteen minutes," she said to herself, “I'll escape from the company, and she will never see me again. ” On her second try, Lill got through a full paragraph, but still made many mistakes. Again she pulled out the paper, threw it out and started over. This time she completed the whole letter, but still there were many errors in it. She looked at the clock 11:55 — five minutes to freedom.

注意:1. 所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;

2. 應(yīng)使用5個(gè)以上短文中標(biāo)有下劃線的關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ);

3. 續(xù)寫部分分為兩段,每段的開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)已為你寫好;

4. 續(xù)寫完成后,請(qǐng)用下劃線標(biāo)出你所使用的關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ)。

Just then, the door at one end of the office opened and Margaret walked in. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Lill did stay at Carhartt Overall Company for 51 years, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】Just then, the door at one end of the office opened and Margaret walked in. She came directly over to Lill, putting one hand on the desk and the other on the girl's shoulder. She read the letter and paused. Then she said, "Lill, you're doing good work!" Lill was stunned. She looked at the letter, then up at Margaret. With those simple words of encouragement, her desire to escape vanished and her confidence began to grow. She thought, "Well, if she thinks it's good, then it must be good. I think I'll stay!"

Lill did stay at Carhartt Overall Company for 51 years, through two world wars and a Depression, through presidents and six prime ministers — all because someone had the insight to give a shy and uncertain young girl the gift of self-esteem when she knocked on the door.

【解析】

本篇書面表達(dá)是讀后續(xù)寫。

通過(guò)閱讀所給文章可知,Lill是一個(gè)在農(nóng)村長(zhǎng)大的女孩,16歲時(shí)父親就強(qiáng)迫她去找工作,由于文化水平低處處碰壁。一天她看到了Carhartt Overall公司的招聘秘書的告示,Lill硬著頭皮走進(jìn)去,遇到了辦公室經(jīng)理Margaret,MargaretLill打一封信來(lái)測(cè)試她的打字水平,Lill屢次失敗,最后決定到12點(diǎn)時(shí)趁人多逃離公司。

續(xù)寫部分分為兩段,第一段開(kāi)頭是:就在這時(shí),辦公室一頭的門開(kāi)了,Margaret走了進(jìn)來(lái)。所以應(yīng)該寫Margaret進(jìn)來(lái)后和Lill的談話及對(duì)Lill工作的評(píng)價(jià)。第二段開(kāi)頭是Lill確實(shí)在Carhartt Overall公司呆了51年。本段應(yīng)該寫她能夠堅(jiān)持這么久的原因。

續(xù)寫時(shí)要求使用5個(gè)以上短文中標(biāo)有下劃線的關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ)增加了寫作難度,我們要熟悉所給劃線詞語(yǔ),恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候加以運(yùn)用。最后還要注意所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;續(xù)寫完成后,請(qǐng)用下劃線標(biāo)出你所使用的關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ)。按要求完成寫作任務(wù)。

【題目】請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下面短文,并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。注意:每空一個(gè)單詞。

The exact data on women in agriculture is difficult to pin down. There are variations between countries and agriculture data is challenging to collect. What is clear, however, is that most small-scale farmers are women, making up 60-80 percent of farmers in developing countries. The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN) estimates that between 43 percent to even 70 percent of agricultural labor in some countries comes from women.

But women still don’t have the same rights as men when it comes to farming, making food production harder for women because of gender inequality. For female farmers, it is unquestionably a challenging job to engage in food production.

In the first place, purchasing land, farming equipment and hiring labor can be expensive. These costs are even harder on women because many of them lack access to credit. In nearly 48 economies women face legal restrictions to having control of their own finances.

Getting to the bank is hard too. Mobility for women in rural parts of developing countries is a big concern. Better transportation and infrastructure could help make access to credit more practicable for women. Credit and finance should be equal for everyone, especially women who are held back by gender restrictions.

Sadly, women may run the world, but they do not own it. Women are virtually denied property rights. Traditional customs in place can pass down land through the male side of the family, leaving women out of land rights completely. Other times, women need permission from a male relative or husband to own land.

It has been apparent that women are not as productive farmers as men and work longer hours in some countries like Indonesia. This is largely due to a lack of education. When education is considered more valuable for men (and thus mainly given to men), women farmers are less informed about the best production methods, thus producing less yield in crops and becoming “l(fā)ess productive”. This can all be changed through providing education for women. Removing gender inequality can help feed 130 million people who are currently undernourished.

Despite these barriers, women are definitely not leaving the “field”. In countries experiencing urban growth, men are migrating to urban areas for other jobs while women stay in rural areas, taking on jobs in farming and agriculture. Healthier children, education, and investment into the community are all benefits that female farmers are shown to have on their communities.

Let’s close the gender gap and give women the tools they need to succeed. If women farmers in developing countries have the same rights and opportunities, they will be just as productive. With increasing population, and the need for better food security, supporting women in agriculture is something that cannot afford not to be invested in.

【題目】 Two hundred years ago, American students went to American schools. Like you, they studied math, spelling and geography. Unlike you, they also studied Greek (希臘語(yǔ)) and Latin (拉丁語(yǔ)). In fact, students spent more than half their time studying Greek and Latin.

The same was true for most students in Europe. Until the seventh century, all educated Europeans knew Latin. It did not matter if they lived in England, Italy, France or Spain. If they were educated, they knew Latin.

During the seventh century, educated Europeans began to study Greek as well as Latin. Greek and Latin had been the leading languages of the ancient Greeks and Romans. All educated Europeans were expected to know these languages.

To educated Europeans, the languages of the Greeks and the Romans were important. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans were also important. People knew that many of their own ideas had come from the Greeks and the Romans. To understand their own culture, they must understand its origin (起源). They knew that those beginnings lay in the classical (古典文學(xué)的) world.

Today we have so many things to study that few people have time to learn Greek and Latin. Few of you will study either language in school. Yet the ideas of the Greeks and the Romans are still important to us. These ideas still help to shape western culture today. To understand our own culture, we must understand the culture of the classical world.

1Two hundred years ago, in American schools _____.

A.there were many educated GreeksB.Greek and Latin were very popular

C.students paid little attention to mathD.students knew little about geography

2According to the text, Europeans thought _____.

A.the origin of their culture was unknown

A.it’s of great value to learn Greek and Latin

B.it’s quite difficult to learn Greek and Latin

C.the culture of the classical world is useless nowadays

D.Western culture is quite different from Greek and Roman cultures

【題目】Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

The benefits of having a higher education are manifold (多樣的) and range from financial to cultural and from common benefits to some unexpected surprises, below you will find a number of reasons which will help to serve as justification for a higher education.

For many high school students, it is hard to imagine what the long-term benefits of a college education might be. College is demanding; the work seems challenging, and meeting all new people seems overwhelming. However, what most young people do not realize is that there is a high likelihood at college that you will find new friends with similar interests and values. You may find yourself developing new interests by getting along with those who have completely different life experiences. An opportunity to get to know your professors can also be counted one of the benefits of having a college education. These intellectuals can be counted on to welcome questions and discussion from students. Therefore, one of the key benefits of a college education is the social bonds created and developed during this unique time in a person’s life.

Besides, the fact that you’ll be building a career for the rest of your life is reason enough to make time for a college education. Indeed, a clear benefit of a college education is that not only will it give you time to better know your likes and dislikes before entering the labor force, it will also enhance the likelihood of a more successful career for you. Many young people are uncertain about a career path at the start of college. This is a time of exploration, and taking the time to explore a variety of college majors is time well spent.

One more justification for higher education could be that it is the best way to enhance yourself in an all-round way. Getting a good education may be the most important price you can pay for your personal advancement, because perhaps more than anything else, what you do with that huge gray material between your ears will determine your future. You never know where your talent could reach. So higher education can provide you with the chance to realize your personal value.

Therefore, never undervalue the benefits of entering a higher education, which surely will bring you something beyond expectation.
