【作文】

PartⅠWriting

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the importance of speaking ability and how to develop it. 120-180 words.

【答案】With our society becoming increasingly open and diversified, the speaking ability is of growing importance in our life and work. In the past, people who were not eloquent could become successful when they were diligent enough. However, now, speaking ability can make a person stand out much quicker in their workplace and social life.

The reasons why speaking ability is so important are as follows. To begin with, people of excellent speaking ability are generally more charming and approachable because they tend to be more friendly and frank. Besides, every walk of life has become more cooperative; therefore, more communicative people have higher working efficiency. For example, my brother used to be a quiet person. Two years ago, I was told that he was fired by his company because he could not get along with his colleagues. After that, he attended a speaking training class and spent a year in improving his eloquence. Now, he has become more confident and found a new job with generous salary.

In order to develop speaking ability, listening to good speeches and famous talk shows can help us imitate great lecturers’ style of speaking and ways of expressing themselves. Meanwhile, it is about time that we spent more time with our friends rather than with our phones, sharing with them our real feelings and thoughts.

A message in a bottle sent out to sea by a New Hampshire man more than five decades ago was found 1500 miles away and he’s been returned to his daughter. The long lost message was discovered by Clint Buffington of Utah while he was vacationing. Buffington says he found a soda bottle half-buried in the sand that looked like it had been there since the beginning of time.

The note inside the bottle said, "Return to 419 Ocean Street and receive a reward of $150 from Richard and Tina Pierce, owners of the beach Comber motel.

The motel was owned by the Paula Pierce in 1960. Her father had written the notes as a joke and had thrown it into the Atlantic Ocean. Buffington flew to New Hampshire to deliver that message to Pola Pierce. She held up to her father's promise giving Buffington that reward.

Millions of bees have died in South Carolina during aerial insect spraying operations that were carried out to combat the Zika virus. The insects spraying over the weekend left more than 2 million bees dead on the spot in Dorchester county South Carolina, where four travel-related cases of Zika disease have been confirmed in the area. Most of the deaths came from Flower Town Bee farm, a company in Somerville that sells bees and honey products. Juanita Stanley who owns the company said the farm looks like it's been destroyed. The farm lost about 2.5 million bees. Dorchester county officials apologized for the accidental mass killing of bees. Dorchester County is aware that some beekeepers in the area that was sprayed on Sunday lost their bee colonies. County manager Jason Ward said in a statement. “I'm not pleased that so many bees were killed.”

News Report Three

The world's largest aircraft has taken to the skies for the first time. The Airlander 10 spent nearly 2 hours in the air having taken off from Coddington airfield in Bedfordshire. During its flight it reached 3000 feet and performed a series of gentle turns all over a safe area. The aircraft is massive as long as a football field and as tall as 6 double decker buses and capable of flying for up to 5 days. It was first developed for the US government as a long range spy aircraft, but was abandoned following budget cutbacks. The aircraft cost 25 million pounds and can carry heavier loads than huge jet planes while also producing less noise and omitting less pollution. The makers believe it's the future of aircraft and one day we'll be using them to go places. But there's still a long way to go. The Airlander will need to have 200 hours flying time before being allowed to fly by the aviation administration if it passes though we can hope we'll all get some extra legroom.

Section C

Passage One

Have you ever felt like you would do just about anything to satisfy your hunger? A new study in mice may help to explain why hunger can feel like such a powerful motivating force. In the study, researchers found that hunger outweighed other physical drives, including fear, thirst and social needs.

To determine which feeling won out, the researchers did a series of experiments. In one experiment, the mice were both hungry and thirsty. When given the choice of either eating food or drinking water, the mice went for the food, the researchers found. However, when the mice were well-fed but thirsty, they opted to drink, according to the study. In the second experiment meant to pit the mice's hunger against their fear, hungry mice were placed in a cage that had certain "fox-scented" areas and other places that smelled safer (in other words, not like an animal that could eat them) but also had food. It turned out that, when the mice were hungry, they ventured into the unsafe areas for food. But when the mice were well-fed, they stayed in areas of the cage that were considered "safe." Hunger also outweighed the mice's social needs, the researchers found. Mice are usually social animals and prefer to be in the company of other mice, according to the study. When the mice were hungry, they opted to leave the company of other mice to go get food.

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.

16. What is the researchers’ purpose in carrying out the serious experiment with mice?

17. In what circumstances, do mice venture into unsafe areas?

18. What is said about mice at the end of the passage?

Passage Two

The United States has one of the best highway systems in the world. Interstate highways connect just about every large and mid-sized city in the country. Did you ever wonder why such a complete system of excellent roads exists? For an answer，you would have to go back to the early 1920s. In those years, just after World War I, the military wanted to build an American highway system for national defense. Such a system could, if necessary, move troops quickly from one area to another. It could also get people out of cities in danger of being bombed. So-called roads of national importance were designated, but they were mostly small country roads. In 1944, Congress passed a bill to upgrade the system, but did not fund the plan right away. In the 1950s, the plan began to become a reality. Over $25 billion was appropriated by congress, and construction began on about 40,000 miles of new roads. The idea was to connect the new system to existing expressways and freeways. And though the system was built mostly to make car travel easier, defense was not forgotten. For instance, highway overpasses had to be high enough to allow trailers carrying military missiles to pass under them. By 1974, this system was mostly completed. A few additional roads would come later. Quick and easy travel between all parts of the country was now possible.

Questions 19 and 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.

19. What does the speaker say about the American highway system?

20. What was the original purpose of building a highway system?

21. When was the interstate highway system mostly completed?

Passage Three

Texting while driving was listed as a major cause of road deaths among young Americans back in 2013. A recent study said that 40% of American teens claim to have been in a car when the driver used a cell phone in a way that put people in danger. This sounds like a widespread disease but it's one that technology may now helped cure. T.J. Evarts, a 20- year-old inventor, has come up with a novel solution that could easily put texting drivers on notice. It's called Smart Wheel, and it's designed to fit over the steering wheel of most standard vehicles to track whether or not the driver has two hands on the wheel at all times. Evarts’ invention warns the drivers with the light and the sound when they hold the wheel with one hand only, but as soon as they place the other hand back on the wheel the light turns back to green and the sound stops. It also watches for what's called “close by hands”, where both hands are close together near the top of the wheel so the driver can type with both thumbs and drive at the same time. All the data Smart Wheel collects is also sent to a connected app. So any parents who install Smart Wheel can keep track of the teens’ driving habits. If they try to remove or damage the cover, that's reported as well.

Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.

22. What is a major cause of road deaths among young Americans?

23. What is Smart Wheel?

24. What happens if the driver has one hand on the wheel?

25. How do parents keep track of their teens’ driving habits?

Passage One

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

Losing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary. We know the risk of dementia （癡呆） increases with age. But if you have memory slips， you probably needn‘t worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss. After age 50， it’s quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people， places and thing quickly， says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Woman‘s Hospital in Boston. The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink， especially areas in the brain that are important to learning， memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow. Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie， for example， is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don’t remember even seeing it， that‘s far more concerning， Daffner says. When you forget entire experiences， he says， that’s “a red flag that something more serious may be involved.” Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven， or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you‘ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong. But even then， Daffner says， people shouldn’t panic.There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss， including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing， high blood pressure， or depression， as well as medications like antidepressants. Even over-the-counter remedies like antihistamines can contribute to memory loss. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain‘s cognitive （認知的） reserve， Daffner says.“Read books， go to movies， take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways，” he says. In other words， keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active， because exercise is a known brain booster.

Passage Two

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

You probably know about the Titanic， but it was actually just one of three state-of-the art（最先進的） ocean ships back in the day. The Olympic class ships were built by the Harland & Wolff ship makers in Northern Ireland for the White Star Line company. The Olympic class included the Olympic，the Britannic and the Titanic. What you may not know is that the Titanic wasn‘t even the flagship of this class.All in all， the Olympic class ships were marvels of sea engineering， but they seemed cursed to suffer disastrous fates.

The Olympic launched first in 1910， followed by the Titanic in 1911， and lastly the Britannic in 1914. The ships had nine decks， and White Star Line decided to focus on making them the most luxurious ships on the water.

Stretching 269.13 meters， the Olympic class ships were wonders of naval technology， and everyone thought that they would continue to be so for quite some time. However， all suffered terrible accidents on the open seas. The Olympic got wreaked before the Titanic did， but it was the only one to survive and maintain a successful career of 24 years. The Titanic was the first to sink after famously hitting a huge iceberg in 1912. Following this disaster， the Britannic hit a naval mine in 1916 and subsequently sank as well.

Each ship was coal-powered by several boilers constantly kept running by exhausted crews below deck. Most recognizable of the ship designs are the ship‘s smoke stacks， but the fourth stack was actually just artistic in nature and served no functional purpose. While two of these ships sank， they were all designed with doucle hulls（船體） believed to make them “unsinkable”， perhaps a mistaken idea that led to the Titanic’s and the Britannic‘s tragic end.

The Olympic suffered two crashes with other ships and went on to serve as a hospital ship and troop transport in World War I. Eventually， she was taken out of service od 1935， ending the era of the luxurious Olympic class ocean liners.

51. What does the passage say about the three Olympic class ships？

A） They performed marvellously on the sea.

B） They could all break the ice in their way.

C） They all experienced terrible misfortunes.

D） They were models of modern engineering.

52. What did White Star Line have in mind when it purchased the three ships？

A） Their capacity of sailing across all waters.

B） The utmost comfort passengers could enjoy.

C） Their ability to survive disasters of any kind.

D） The long voyages they were able to undertake.

53. What is said about the fourth stack of the ships？

A） It was a mere piece of decoration.

B） It was the work of a famous artist.

C） It was designed to let out extra smoke.

D） It was easily identifiable from afar.

54. What might have led to the tragic end of the Titanic and the Britannic？

A） Their unscientific designs.

B） Their captains' misjudgment.

C） The assumption that they were built with the latest technology.

D） The belief that they could never sink with a double-layer body.

55. What happened to the ship Olympic in the end？

A） She was used to carry troops.

B） She was sunk in World WarⅠ。

C） She was converted into a hospital ship.

D） She was retired after her naval service.
