写作
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Habit of Smoking with reference to the picture given below. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1.
【参考范文】 The Habit of Smoking
In the picture, cigarettes were put together to form a phrase "THE END", which vividly implies the habit of smoking does a great harm to people’s happy life. Smoking poses a potential danger to both the smokers themselves and the non-smokers who breathe in the secondhand smoke, which is even more harmful.
China has a large smoker population. To make things worse, the people who smoke have been on the rise on a daily basis. Some people, especially youngsters, pick up smoking because they think it’s cool. Meanwhile,many others regard smoking cigarettes as a way to release pressure or an important lubricant in the social relationship. The sad thing about all this is that many people, knowing smoking is a bad habit, still hold on to it.
Currently, perhaps it is not easy to ban the tobacco industry, but it is possible to enforce the no-smoking policy in all public places, making it more and more difficult and inconvenient for smokers to smoke and at the same time. ensuring peoole who do not smoke to have fresh air to breathe.
【参考译文】 吸烟的习惯
在图片中，一些香烟被拼成了一个英语短语“结束”，这生动地暗示了吸烟会严重危害人们的幸福生活。吸烟不仅对于吸烟者本身很危险，对吸二手烟的不吸烟者也是如此，而且二手烟的危害更大。中国的烟民数量十分庞大，更糟糕的是，吸烟的人数每天都在攀升。一些人(尤其是青少年)开始吸烟是因为他们觉得吸烟很酷。与此同时，还有很多人认为吸烟是一种缓解压力的方式，也是社会关系中重要的润滑剂。这一切所导致的结果就是许多人即使知道吸烟是一种不好的习惯，也仍然不肯戒烟。
目前看来，取缔整个烟草行业可能并非易事，但是我们可以执行在公共场合禁止吸烟的政策。这样，既可以使烟民吸烟更加困难和不便，又可以保证不吸烟的人能够呼吸到新鲜的空气。
【要点用法】
cigarette香烟 lubricant润滑剂
imply暗示 hold on to坚持，不放弃
do a great harm to…严重危害……enforce执行
secondhand smoke二手烟 ensure确保
【句法点评】
1.In the picture，cigarettes were put together to form a phrase“THE END”，which vividly impfies the habit of smoking does a great harm to people’s happy life.
首句直入主题，介绍图画内容，被动句与非限制性定语从句相结合，句式灵活。
2.To make things worse，the people who smoke have been on the rise on a daily basis.
tomakethingsworse意为“使事情更糟糕的是……”。beonthe rise意为“在逐渐增加、上升”。on adaily basis意为“每天”，可用于替换常用表达everyday。这三个短语都是非常地道的表达方式，值得积累。
3.Tbe sad thing about all this is that many people，knowing smoking is a bad habit，still hold on to it.that引导表语从句，其中的knowing smoking is a bad habit是现在分词短语作让步状语，也是插入语。hold onto意为“坚持，不放弃”，等同于stickto。
4.…but it is possible to enforce the no-smoking policy in all public places.making it more and more difficult…and at the same time.ensuring people who do not smoke…to enforce a policy为固定搭配，意为“推行某一政策”，making…和ensuring…为并列结构，均为现在分词短语作结果状语。在描述问题之后提出现实的解决方案，使文章更具深度。

On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Carke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with her money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the over 60 s Club. She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.
At six o’clock she cane home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.
Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door-"a master key"perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time, dressed as usual, but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.
It was just after four o’clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly towards the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.

Many people believe the glare from snow causes snowblindnenss. Yet, dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness, when exposed to several hours of "snow light".
The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man’s eyes frequently find nothing to foucs on in a broad expanse of barren snow-covered terrain. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of tsomething to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never sotp searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature offsets this irritation by producing more and fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid coversthe eyeball in increasing quantity until vision blurs, then is obsured, and the result is total, even though temporary, snowblindness.
Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape, Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop scouring the snow-blanketed lanscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a solid white terrain is overcome.
1. To prevent headaches, watering eyes and blindness caused by the glare from snow, dark glasses are ________.
a. indispensible
b. useful
c. ineffective
d. available
2. When the eyes are sore tears are produced to ________.
a. clear the vision
b. remedy snowblindness
c. ease the irritation
d. loosen the muscles
3. Snowblindness may be avoided by ________.
a. concentrating to the solid white terrain
b. searching for something to look at in snow-covered terrain
c. providing the eyes with something to foucs on
d. covering the eyeballs with fluid
4. The scouts shake snow from evergreen bushes in order to ________.
a. bive the men behind something to see
b. beautify the landscape
c. warm themselves in the cold
d. prevent the men behind from losing their way
5. A suitable title for this passage would be ________.
a. snowblindness and how to overcome it
b. natrue’s cure for snowblindness
c. soldiers in the snow
d. snow vision

Water problems in the future will become nore intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decease substantialy the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasingquantities of agricultural chemicals, From this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.
There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes "prior to" disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes, or efflunets, to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal.
A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Efflunets from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts. Other industries are potential eonomic uses for waste products.
1. The purpose of this passage is ________.
a. to alert the reader to the dwindling water supply
b. to explain industrial uses of water
c. to acquaint the reader with water pollution problems
d. to demostrate various measures to solve the pollution problem
2. Which of the following points is NOT INCLUDED in the passage?
a. In dustrial development incudes the simplification of complex chemical processes.
b. Diluting wastes needs certain amount of water
c. Demands for water will go up along with the expanding population
d. Intensive cultivation of land requires more and more chemicals
3. The reader can conclued that ________.
a. countries of the world will work together on polution problems
b. byproducts from wastes lead to a more prosperous marketplace
c. science is making great progress on increasing water supplies
d. some industries are now, aking economic use of wastes
4. The author gives substance to the passage through the use of ________.
a. interviews with authorities in the field of water controls
b. opinions and personal observations
c. definitions which clarify important terms
d. strong arguments and persuasions
5. The words "prior to"(para.2) probably mean ________.
a. after
b. during
c. before
d. beyond

It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like "I was wrong about that,"and it is even harder to say,"I was wrong, and you were right about that."
I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighbourhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons. Then he related an incident and Ibegan to remember vaguely the incident he was describing.
I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gome into the store with may mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident tood place.
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs indozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I want to work.
The manager heard the moise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit. He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not.

长城
长城被称为中国的奇迹，拥有两千多年的历史。从空中俯瞰，它像一条长龙，从西向东蜿蜒前行，总长约6700公里。从春秋战国时期(the Spring and Autumn Period andWarring States Period)起，各诸侯国开始修建城墙以保护边境。秦朝建立以后，秦始皇把这些城墙连接起来，成为长城。然而，当时的长城大都已经在战争中损毁，而现存的长城主要是明朝时修建的。长城最初是为了抵抗来自北方的侵略，如今已成为旅游胜地，吸引了来自世界各地的游客。有句谚语：“不到长城非好汉”，足以见证长城的雄伟壮观(grandeur)。
The Great Wall,with a history of more than 2,000years,was regarded as a wonder of China.From abird’s-eye view,it is just like a dragon winding itselffrom west to east,stretching for approximately6,700 kilometers.Since the Spring and AutumnPeriod and the Warring States Period,the walls had been put up to defend the borders by thekingdoms.After the founding of Qin Dynasty，Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined together tomake "The Great Wall".While most of the walls were ruined in wars,the majority of the GreatWall we see today was mainly built during Ming Dynasty.The Great Wall,originally built to resistthe invasion from the North,now has become a well-known place of interest,attracting touristsfrom all over the world.As a saying goes,"He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a trueman", which is evidence of its grandeur.
1.第二句中的“从西向东蜿蜓前行，总长约6700公里”，描述的主语都是“它”—长城，故用现在分词短语winding…stretching…作状语，对长城做进一步说明：“总长”可在stretch for后面直接用数字表示。
2.第三句中的“各诸侯国开始修建城墙以保护边境”可译为主动态the kingdoms had built the walls to defend their borders，也可用the walls作主语，使用被动态来表达。
3.例数第二句中的“长城成为旅游胜地”可翻译为英文句的主干，“吸引了来自各界各地的游客”，用现在分词短语attracting…表伴随状况“最初是为了…”处理为过去分词originally built to…作目的状语。
4.最后一句话中，“有句谚语”可使用as a saying goes这一句型：“足以见…”是对谚语的补充说明，可使用which引导的非限制性定语从句。
