This report is for the purpose of introducing the school project of collecting used book on campus which I, as a student, have just participated in.

In our daily life, it is common for us, as students, to purchase and read so many books during our college life and it is also a common phenomenon for us to discard the books after we used. However, a host of youngsters deem that this is a sort of wasting and thus, the Student Union organized this project, which aims to help young people cultivate the awareness and habit of saving and helping others. This project was launched on our campus newspaper one week ago and the activity of collecting books was held on the playground yesterday. More than 200 students, including me, participated in it. It is said that part of the collected books in this project will be given to students in our university who cannot afford tuition.

展开全文

As a participant, I reckon that this project is of great significance, which may bring us the sense of thrift, arouse our passion for life and help others in need. (187words)

本报告的目的是介绍我作为一名学生刚参加完的一个学校项目：收集校园中的二手书。

在我们的日常生活中，作为学生的我们，在大学学习期间，会买很多书、读很多书。同时，我们把用过的书扔掉也是非常普遍的现象。然而，很多年轻人认为这是一种浪费。因此，学生会组织了这次的项目，目的是帮助年轻人培养节约和助人的意识和习惯。该项目一周前在校报上发起，昨日在操场上举办。包括我在内的200多名学生参加。据悉，本次收集的部分图书将赠送给我校支付不起学费的学生。

作为活动的参与者，我认为该项目意义重大，它会带给我们节约的意识、唤起我们对生活的热爱，也帮助了需要帮助的人。

第二套：助力新生培训计划

【范文】

It is so great to hear that our university is organizing an orientation program to help the freshmen adapt to the new environment and academic studies here. Personally, I deem that this program is exceedingly necessary and I have several suggestions.

To begin with, I deem that it is exceedingly necessary to invite certain well-known professors to participate in this program and give some lectures. It is their lectures that will enable freshmen to basically understand the skills and ways of academic studies. In addition, it is sensible to hold experience-sharing forums between some excellent sophomores and all freshmen, which aims to bring both parties opportunities to make friends, arouse freshmen's passion for studying here and help them know the new environment better. Thirdly, I suggest that this program last for approximately one month and thus, at least an experience-sharing forum or lecture can be arranged each week.

Finally, I believe that with our joint efforts, freshmen can adapt to the new environment and academic studies successfully in the shortest time. （171words）

【译文】

很高兴听说我校正在组织一项定向培训项目帮助大一新生适应大学的新环境和学术研究。我个人认为这个项目很有必要，而且我有几个建议。

首先，我认为很有必要请一些知名教授参与该项目并做一些讲座，正是他们的讲座将会使得大一新生初步了解学术研究的方法和技能。此外，还应举办全体大一新生和优秀大二学生的经验分享讨论会，目的是给他们提供交朋友的机会，唤起大一新生学习的热情，帮助他们更好了解新环境。第三，我建议该项目持续约一个月，这样每周至少能安排一次经验分享会或讲座。

最后，我相信在我们的共同努力之下，大一新生能在最短时间成功适应大学的新环境和学术研究。

第三套：演讲比赛建议

【破题思路】

首段：介绍背景

二段：就比赛话题、目的、流程和选手选拔提建议

尾段：展望

【范文】

It is so great to hear that our Student Union is planning to hold a speech contest and as a student in this university, I have several suggestions concerning organizing the contest.

To begin with, I deem that the topic of the contest can be The Significance of Doing Small Things before Undertaking Something Big. Why? In our daily life, it is a common phenomenon for so many youngsters to ignore small tasks and they just want to do something big. However, it is doing small things well that enables them to build up skills, experience and competence. Thus, the speech contest can aim to help young people cultivate the awareness and habit of doing small things well. In addition, it is advisable for the procedure to be divided into three parts: self-introduction, prepared speech and Q A session. Furthermore, I hold that contestants should be selected from freshmen, sophomores and juniors since seniors are busy with preparing for the national entrance examination for postgraduates or hunting for jobs.

Finally, I, on behalf of all students, am looking forward to the success of this contest.

【译文】

很高兴听说我校学生会正在策划一项演讲比赛。作为本校的一名学生，我有几个关于赛事组织方面的建议。

首先，我认为这次比赛的主题可以是《干大事之前做好小事的重要性》。为啥呢？在我们日常生活中，很多年轻人忽略小事已经成为普遍现象，他们只想干大事。然而，正是干好小事才使得他们积累技能、经验和能力。因此，本次比赛的目标可以是帮助年轻人培养做好小事的意识和习惯。此外，本次比赛流程可以分为三个部分：自我介绍、备稿演讲和问答环节。而且，我认为选手应该从大一、大二和大三学生中选拔，因为大四学生正忙于准备考研和找工作。

最后，我代表所有同学期待这次比赛的成功。

第一套：大运河

【原文】

大运河（Grand Canal）是世界上最长的人工河，北起北京，南至杭州。它是中国历史上最宏伟的工程之一。大运河始建于公元前4世纪，公元13世纪末建成，修建之初是为了运输粮食，后来也用于运输其他商品。大运河沿线区域逐渐发展成为中国的工商业中心。长久以来，大运河对中国的经济发展发挥了重要作用，有力的促进了南北地区之间的人员往来和文化交流。

【参考译文】

The Grand Canal is the world's longest man-made river, running from Beijing in the north to Hangzhou in the south. It is one of the most magnificent projects in Chinese history. First built in the 4th century B.C., the Grand Canal was completed in the late 13th century A.D.. Originally, it was built to transport grain and later to ship other commodities. The regions along the canal gradually developed into the industrial and commercial center of China. For a long time, the Grand Canal has been playing a crucial role in China's economic development, and has greatly promoted the personnel exchange and the cultural communication between the north and the south.

第二套：都江堰

【原文】

都江堰（Dujiangyan）坐落在成都平原西部的岷江上，距成都市约50公里，始建于公元前三世纪。它的独特之处在于无需用堤坝调控水流。两千多年来，都江堰一直有效地发挥着防洪与灌溉作用，使成都平原成为旱涝保收的沃土和中国最重要的粮食产地之一。都江堰工程体现了我国人民与自然和谐共存的智慧，是全世界年代最久、仍在使用、无坝控水的水利工程。

【参考译文】

Originally constructed in the 3rd Century B.C., Dujiangyan is located on the Minjiang River in the west of the Chengdu Plain, about 50km from Chengdu. It is characterized by the flow control without the use of dams. Dujiangyan has been playing an effective role in flood prevention and irrigation for over 2000 years, making the Chengdu Plain a fertile land of stable yields despite drought or flood and one of China's most important grain production bases. As the oldest no-dam water-control irrigation works still in use over the world, Dujiangyan manifests Chinese people’s wisdom in the harmonious coexistence with the nature.

第三套：坎儿井

【原文】

坎儿井（Karez）是新疆干旱地区的一种水利系统，由地下渠道将水井连接而成。该系统将春夏季节渗入（seep into）地下的大量雨水及积雪融水收集起来，通过山体的自然坡度引到地面，用于灌溉农田和满足人们的日常用水需求。坎儿井减少了水在地面的蒸发（evaporation），对地表破坏很小，因而有效地保护了自然资源与生态环境。坎儿井体现了我国人民与自然和谐共存的智慧，是对人类文明的一大贡献。

【参考译文】

【Section C】

Passage 1

A new study carried out by the University of Lincoln has found a link between the personalities of cat owners and the behavior and well-being of their cats. [16] The findings suggest that just as a parent's personality can affect the personality of a child, the same is true for a cat and its owner.Owners defined as individuals with high levels of anxiety, fear, anger, depression, and loneliness were more likely to have cats with behavioral issues. Such cats displayed more aggressive and anxious behavioral styles as well as more stress-related sickness. They were also more likely to have an ongoing medical condition and be overweight. The research also found that mentally well-adjusted owners had calmer, happier and healthier cats. The researchers explained that many owners regard their pets as a family member and form close social bonds with them. [17] The majority of owners want to provide the best care for their pets.And it's therefore possible that pets could be affected by the way their owners interact with and managed them. The study highlights an important relationship between our personalities and the well-being of our pets. [18] Further research is needed to investigate the causal nature of this relationship, and to look at how owners’ personalities are directly influencing their pets’ behavior and well-being.It is possible that the well-being of pets is driven by the underlying nature of the owner, not simply by their conscious decisions and behaviors.

16. What do we learn from the new study by the University of Lincoln?

答案：A) Owner's personalities affect their cats' behavior and wellbeing.

17. What does the passage say most pet owners want to do?

答案：B) Provide their pets with the best care.

18. What does the passage say is still needed to understand the effects of owners’ personalities on their pets?

答案：D) Further investigation.

Passage 2

One sixty-meter run can add 7 hours to your life. This was a claim made by the Times last week. The claim was based on a new review of studies about the effects of running. [19] The review concluded that on average, runners live 3 years longer than non-runners, and that running does more to extend life than any other form of exercise.But there's more to running than its health benefits. [20] Research published in recent years has shown that running changes your brain and mind in some fascinating ways from increasing your brain function to regulating your emotions.However, the precise effects vary according to whether you engage in short, fast running or long-distance running. For example, in one study, researchers compared participants’ ability to learn new words after several minutes of intense running, and after 40 minutes of gentle running. Participants were able to learn 20% faster after the intense running and they showed a superior memory when tested again a week later. In another study, researchers asked volunteers to jog for 30 minutes, and then showed them clips from a sad movie. Participants who usually struggled to handle negative emotions were more intensely affected by the sad clips, just as you expect. [20] But crucially, this was less so, if they had completed the 30-minute jog, the researchers said moderate exercise appears to have helped those participants to be less vulnerable to the impact of the sad movie.

19. What did the new review of studies claim?

答案：B) Running is the best exercise for extending one’s life.

20. What is one effect that running has on people according to recent research?

答案：A) Improving their brain function.

21. What did another study find about the participants after they had a 30-minute jog?

答案：D) They were less affected by sad movies.

Passage 3

[22] Welcome to the tour of the Hill House.This house, built in 1904, is one of the most well-known works of Charles Hill, the famous architect. It was designed and built for a local entrepreneur and his family. Before starting the tour, let me give you a brief introduction about the design of this amazing building. [23] Prior to beginning his design, the architect spent some time in the client's old home, observing their life and studying their habits. This meant, that he could design the house according to the needs of the family. [24] The client's main desire was to have a home with the unique design, so the architect was given complete freedom. The building style is radically different from what was the fashion of the period. At the time, most large homes were constructed of timber and brick. This one, however, is made of concrete, a novel construction material in those days. The interior of the house, including fittings and furniture, was also designed by the same person. Most of the furniture you will see is original and in good condition. [25] However, those pieces in the children's bedrooms are copies built to the designs of the architect. Fortunately, all the blueprints for both the building and its contents have been preserved. So, we've been able to replace badly damaged furniture. Let's begin our tour starting from the rooms.

22. What do we learn about the speaker?

答案：A) He is a tour guide.

23. What did the architect do before beginning his design?

答案：C) He observed his client's life and habits.

24. What did the architects’ client mainly want?

答案：D)A house of a unique design.

25.What do we learn about the pieces of furniture in the children's bedrooms?

答案：B)They are copies built to the architect's designs.

Conversation 1

W: [8]I can't believe that duck hunting is still legal in so many parts of the world.The scientific evidence from countries like Australia, Canada, and the USA clearly indicates a decline in the birds' numbers.

M: But can anyone be sure if the decline is really caused by the hunting or by climate change?

W: It's caused by both in fact. We see more droughts in countries like Australia. Ducks are birds that feed and breed in areas where there is a lot of water.[9] But their habitats have been shrinking in recent decades because of the droughts.

M: And I guess with fewer places to inhabit, they concentrate in greater numbers in few areas, which surely makes them easier targets for the hunters.

W: It does. My grandfather was a duck hunter. He told me hunting ducks and geese began in the 19th century. They were easily found and plentifully available food source in farming areas, especially for poor immigrants.

M: What do they use for hunting during that period?

W: They use new types of guns, and birds could easily be shot down in flight and in such great numbers that commercial hunting of ducks and geese became an industry. [10] Yet there's no commercial farming of these bird nowadays. Their meat is hardly eaten in western countries.

M: No, duck hunting seemingly exists as the continuation of a tradition.

W: Well, ducks have never been popular with farmers like my grandfather anyway because they sometimes destroy crops. [11] In fact, farmers used to poison them in large numbers.

M: That somehow doesn't surprise me. Nobody places much value on the lives of these poor birds or on their meat.

8. What does the woman find unbelievable?

答案：D) Duck hunting remains legal in many parts of the world.

9. What does the woman say has caused the shrinking of ducks habitats in Australia?

答案：A) Droughts

10. Why is there no commercial farming of ducks and geese in western countries?

答案：B) Their meat is not that popuar.

Conversation 2

M: Okay, Miss Bright.I finished calculating. I estimate you have between 210 and 240 square meters of walls and ceiling.

W: [12] [13] So how much would the paint job cost?

M: That would depend on the quality of paint you choose. We carry two brands—one costs 60 cents every square meter and the other 90 cents. The second is guaranteed to look great for about 10 years whereas the cheaper one will start to dull after around 6 or 7 years.

W: In that case, we would prefer the more expensive option.

W: Emmm, to be perfectly honest, that's more than I expected.

M: Please bear in mind that the price includes moving all the furniture and the whole task would take 2 days.

W: Really? Why?

M: Well, we can't paint the walls without clearing all the furniture first. So every time we paint a room, we first have to move the furniture to another room. So that takes more time. Plus, it requires two people, which works out more expensive.

W: I see. [14] But does that mean I could not live here in my own house during those 2 days?

M: [14] Thatiscorrect.

W: Oh well, that changes everything, I'm afraid. I would have to stay with a friend or check into a hotel. I hadn't considered any of that. [15] I'm starting to realize that painting my house is far more troublesome than I had anticipated.

M: This is usually the case. Most of our clients go through the same realization.

W: I see.

M: You have my number. Please feel free to call me for any further questions.

W: Thank you.

Passage 1

原文链接：https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/mind/get-children-mindset-start-school/

Homework is an important part of schooling, but the purposes of giving children homework will change as they growolder.[16]At the primary level, the main aim is to cultivate good habits,like learning to plan and exercising self-discipline.During the secondary school years, extending what is learned at school is positively related to academicachievement, so the content of homework becomes more important. [17] So how can you help your child do their best? Creating an ideal working environment will make it easier for them to get down to their assignments quickly.Make sureit's free of distractions, and - for primary school children at least - somewhere near you, so you can answer questions andoffer encouragement.You probably have to help younger children plan their session, but it's important that by the endof primary school it's second nature.

Passage 2

[20] But critics say the policy contradicts recommendations by many health experts who warned that a person's weightis influenced by genetic and environmental factors. That means weight can be hard for individuals to control, which makes the bonus unfair.Some experts say the policy is inconsistent with the science of what we know about body weight regulation. These experts argue that focusing on wage is the wrong approach. A more productive method of encouraging health among employees is to promote healthy behaviors. [21] For example, companies can give workers gym memberships, or encourage participation in lectures on healthy eating and living. They can also reduce sweets and provide healthier snacks in the office and heathier meals at the company canteen. Or they can give employees more time during their lunch break to exercise. These are much better and much more productive ways for companies to move forward on their employees' well-being.

答案：A) Workers who meet its body weight standards.

20. What do critics think of Mexican Oil Company's bonus policy?
