Directions:?Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on innovation. Your essay should include the importance of innovation and measures to be taken to encourage innovation.You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

【參考范文】

??? It is universally acknowledged that innovation refers to being creative, unique and different. In fact, today it is impossibly difficult for us to image a 21^st century without innovation.

We should place a high value on innovation firstly because innovative spirit can enable an individual to ameliorate himself, so he can be equipped with capacity to see what others cannot see, be qualified for future career promotion, and be ready for meeting the forthcoming? challenges. What’s more, we ought to attach importance to the role played by innovation in economic advancement. Put it another way, in this ever-changing world, innovation to economic growth is what water is to fish. To sum up, if innovation misses our attention in any possible way, we will suffer a great loss beyond imagination.

In order to encourage innovation, it is wise for us to take some feasible measures. For example, mass media should greatly publicize the significance of creative spirit and encourage the public to cultivate awareness of innovation. Besides, those who manage to innovate should be awarded generous prize. Though there is a long way ahead to go, I am firmly certain that the shared efforts? will be paid off.

Section A Conversation

Conversation 1氣候變化和全球經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展

W: Professor Henderson could you give us a brief overview of what you do, where you work and your main area of research?

M: Well the Center for Climate Research where I work?links the science of climate change to issues around economics and policy.

Some of our research is to do with the likely impacts of climate change and all of the associated risks.

W: And how strong is the evidence that climate change is happening that it's really something we need to be worried about.

M: Well most of the science of climate change particularly that to do with global warming is simply fact.

But other aspects of the science are less certain or at least more disputed.

And so we're really talking about risk what the economics tells us is that?it's probably cheaper to avoid climate change to avoid the risk than it has to deal with the likely consequences.

W: So what are we doing? What can we do about it?

M: Well I would argue that we need to develop the science specifically to understand the likely impacts of climate change in different contexts.

As I said we need to understand the best ways of avoiding climate change and this will involve a huge transition to low carbon energy systems and the transition is a tremendous priority.

And for this to happen, we may need action on a global scale from a political perspective.

We need to understand the terms on which major countries like China and the USA might sign up to a global agreement because at the moment we don't have that consensus.

W: Right.

M:?And we also need to plan ahead?so that we're in a position to deal with the likely levels of climate change which are already inevitable and even more so to for the levels that are likely if we don't get those global agreements.

Conversation 2（成功的要素）

W: I have many business English students. When I teach the classroom, we often end up talking about things like success and what leads to success. And it's interesting that many of them mention the element of luck.

M: Right.

W: Luck is important to success. But since you've seen that fantastic video on the TED Talks website by Richard St. John, he doesn't mention luck at all.

M: Well, I'm a firm believer that people can make their own luck. I mean what people regard as luck, you can actually create, to a degree.

W: Sure. I think a lot of what people consider luck is attributed to how you respond to the opportunities that come your way.

M: Yes. Very good point.

W: Seizing the opportunities. But was there any point in the video that you thought was particularly interesting?

M: Yes. Actually there was. Something very impressive to me as many people think that luck is important and that natural talent is something you must have in order to be successful. And in the video we saw, the point about getting good at something is not about having some natural talent. It's all about practice, practice, practice.

W: Definitely yeah. Natural talent helps in some way but at the end of the day you really do need to work hard and get really really good at what you do.

M: Sure.

W: I thought one interesting thing in the video was the idea of passion being so important and that people who really love what they do. Of course you're going to want to work harder and put the time and effort into it. And the funny thing is that if you love what you do and are really passionate about it and work really hard, the money kind of comes automatically.

Section B Passage

Passage 1（美國惡魔塔的形成原因以及關(guān)于它的印第安傳說）

?? Devil’s Tower, the first national monument in America, could almost be mistaken for the stump of an enormous tree. Its sheer rock sides sweep up from a broad base until they cut off abruptly at the flat summit. Rising more than 1,000 feet in the middle of the gently rolling plains of Wyoming, the massive column of rock, looks as though it was dropped down into this location from a different time and place.

?? In a sense, it was, Devil’s Tower is a relic of the past. When the melt rock of the earth’s core forced its way to the surface to form the throat of a volcano, as the centuries passed, the rock cooled and hardened, shrinking and cracking into long columns, born in fire and fury. Devil’s Tower was then shaped by the slow, gentle work of wind and water. The outer layers of the volcano were worn away until the hard core stood completely exposed.

It is small wonder that an Indian legend described Devil’s Tower as being formed by supernatural powers. The legend says that when seven girls were attacked by bears, they took refuge on top of a small rock, and they appealed to the Rock God for help. The God caused the rock to grow and to lift the girls far above the ground, while it sides were scored by the claws of the angry bears. Even today, says the legend, the girls can be seen above the towering rock. As seven shining stars in the night sky.

Passage 2（如何科學(xué)理財(cái)）

?? It’s no accident that most gas stations have convenience stores attached. Few of us can fill up the tank without buying a few snacks, cigarettes，soft drinks or other items we can live without. I deserve it. That’s what hard working men and women say to justify their lavish vacations, big stereo systems or regular restaurant meals. They do deserve such indulgences. However, they also deserve a home of their own--a secure retirement and freedom from worrying about unpaid bills. No one should have to live with what a Texas mother described as constant stress，tension, even fear about money. Sadly the pleasure that comes from extravagances often disappears long before the bills do. The video camera that one single mother bought for a special occasion, for example, is not much fun now. She’s figured out that it will take her another three years to pay it off at $30 a month. And the New Yorkers who spent a bundle on an outdoor hot tub now admit they rarely use it, because we can't afford to heat it in winter. The solution set priorities add up the annual cost of each item. Then consider what else you can buy with the same money. That will help you decide which items are really worth it. One Chicago woman, for example, discovered that daily lunches with coworkers cost her $2000 a year; she decided to take lunch to work instead. “I now put $20 a week into my vacation fund and another 20 into retirement savings, she says, those mean more to me than lunch”.

?

Q13. What does the speaker say about drivers who stop at gas stations?

?

A)They will buy something from the convenience stores.

B) They will take advantage of the time to rest a while.

C) They will have their vehicles washed or serviced.

D) They will pick up some souvenirs or gift items.

[答案】[A]

?

Q14. What does the speaker say about extravagances?

?

A) They can bring only temporary pleasures.

B) They are meant for the extremely wealthy.

C) They should be done away with altogether.

D) They may eventually drive one to bankruptcy.

[答案】[A]

?

Q15. What does a speaker want to show by the example of the Chicago woman?

A) A good way to socialize is to have daily lunch with one’s colleagues.

B) Retirement savings should come first in one’s family budgeting.

C) A vacation will be affordable if one saves 20 dollars a week.

D) Small daily savings can make a big difference in one’s life.

Passage One

46. [D]

解析：答案定位在文章第一段，其中“veteran nicotine addict”直接對(duì)應(yīng)題目中的chain smokers，而根據(jù)that 從句內(nèi)的“plays no role in the decision to keep smoking”就可以選出正確選項(xiàng)D：

“香煙的包裝對(duì)于老煙槍選擇戒煙與否而言幾乎沒有任何影響”。

47. [A]

解析：答案定位在第二段的第一句及第三段的最后一句：在第二段中，But that is not why the government - under pressure from .... party - has agreed to legislate for standardised packaging. 縱然原句意思為“這并不是政府同意針對(duì)香煙的包裝立法”；在第三段中“Since tobacco is one of the biggest causes of premature death in the UK, a measure that tames the habits even by a fraction is worth trying”，在英國由于吸煙而導(dǎo)致早產(chǎn)兒大批死亡，英國政府幫這些老煙槍們改變吸煙的嗜好的任何嘗試都是值得的；因此，答案就尤為明顯了，因此補(bǔ)辦選出答案A：“英國政府就香煙包裝的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化通過了法案”。

48. [B]

解析：答案定位在第三段的第三句“this approach has led over time to a fall in smoking numbers having roughly halved since the 1970s. Evidence from Australia suggests plain packaging pushes society further along that road.”這一方法使得吸煙者數(shù)量銳減，尤其是在澳大利亞而言，這一方法頗見成效。這樣選項(xiàng)B就尤其明顯了。

49. [A]

解析：答案定位在第四段“David Cameron’s election campaign........(David Cameron denied...in legislative program me)”及最后一句話中“now we are told Members of .......is dissolved in March”。在特殊符號(hào)里“括號(hào)”中，首相Cameron否認(rèn)在其顧問在外的經(jīng)濟(jì)利益與法案改變之間有聯(lián)系，并在最后一句中指出將會(huì)讓國會(huì)議員投票。由此答案就尤為明顯，可以定位到A選項(xiàng)。

50. [C]

解析：答案定位在第四段的最后一句“his attitude to state intervention... checkouts fueled obesity”，答案由“checkouts fueled obesity”體現(xiàn)：“檢測(cè)出導(dǎo)致肥胖”。由此，答案選C。

Section C

Passage Two

51. [A]

本題問的是作者的觀點(diǎn)。文都英語老師希望大家記住，任何時(shí)候，問誰的觀點(diǎn)就只能找誰的觀點(diǎn)，千萬不能偷換主語。像這種觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題，一般在文章的結(jié)尾出現(xiàn)、或者是通過作者的用詞的字里行間來體現(xiàn)。在第三段的段尾指出，研究表明上過大學(xué)的學(xué)生們不僅在大學(xué)里面受益，而且他們通常會(huì)比沒上過大學(xué)的學(xué)生更加健康和快樂。從這句話能看出，作者對(duì)上大學(xué)還是持一種贊成的態(tài)度的。所以選A項(xiàng)。

52. [D]

本題根據(jù)題干中的專有名詞British可以回到原文定位至第一段，在第一段的文末，作者說：大學(xué)畢業(yè)不能保證一個(gè)很好的工作，60%的人從事的工作都和他們之前的專業(yè)不相關(guān)。這和D選項(xiàng)為近義表達(dá)。

53. [C]

根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞可以定位至第三段的倒數(shù)第二句話，教育是學(xué)生在講座和研討會(huì)之間的互相學(xué)習(xí)。而講座和研討會(huì)是在課堂之外的，所以這和C選項(xiàng)的含義相近。

54. [B]

關(guān)于上大學(xué)的好處，這在第四段的第四句話有提到，“學(xué)生在大學(xué)里有可能會(huì)遇到以后可能會(huì)處于領(lǐng)導(dǎo)地位的人”，這和B選項(xiàng)的“遇見那些未來對(duì)你會(huì)有幫助的人”含義相同。

55. [D]

本題為推理題，切記推理題一定要是自己推理出來的，原文中已有的，或者是推的太遠(yuǎn)的選項(xiàng)都是不對(duì)的。在最后一段的第一句話中，作者有說“也許為什么許多大學(xué)沒有教給他們學(xué)生許多東西的原因是，他們知道即使學(xué)生什么都沒有學(xué)到，但是在一個(gè)頂級(jí)學(xué)校里學(xué)習(xí)，就是對(duì)未來的一個(gè)美好的投資”。這句話的表達(dá)和D項(xiàng)含義相近。

??? 隨著生活水平的提高，度假在中國人生活中的作用越來越重要。過去，中國人的時(shí)間主要花在謀生上，很少有機(jī)會(huì)外出旅行。然而，近年來中國旅游業(yè)發(fā)展迅速。經(jīng)濟(jì)的繁榮和富裕中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的出現(xiàn)，引發(fā)了一個(gè)前所未有的旅游熱潮。中國人不僅在國內(nèi)旅游，出國旅游也越來越普遍。2016年國慶節(jié)假日期間，旅游消費(fèi)總計(jì)超過4000億元。據(jù)世界貿(mào)易組織估計(jì)，2020年中國將成為世界上最大的旅游國，在未來幾年里將成為處境旅游支出增長最快的國家。

??? With the improvement of living standards, vacation is playing an increasingly important role in Chinese people’s life. In the past, Chinese people mainly spent their time on earning a living and seldom didthey have the opportunities to travel abroad. However, the recent years has witnessed a fast development of China’s tourism industry. The boom of economy and emergence of the affluent middle class, has triggered an unprecedented tourism boom. Chinese people are not only traveling within China, but traveling abroad is also becoming more and more popular. During the National Day holiday of 2016, the consumption of tourism adds up to more than 400 billion. According to the estimate of the WTO, China will become the country with the largest tourism industry in the world in2020, and it will become the country with the fastest consumption increase in traveling abroad in the next few years.

【點(diǎn)評(píng)】

??? 此次題目考的是常見熱點(diǎn)話題旅游熱潮，無論從詞匯和句子結(jié)構(gòu)來說，對(duì)同學(xué)們不會(huì)造成太大障礙。不過在翻譯時(shí)，學(xué)生們可以嘗試使用一些高級(jí)的英語句型結(jié)構(gòu)，使自己的翻譯更加出彩。比如通過使用抽象名詞做主語，把China’s tourism industry has been developing fast in the recent years.替換為高級(jí)結(jié)構(gòu)the recent years has witnessed a fast development of China’s tourism industry。通過使用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)把People seldom hadthe opportunities to travel abroad. 換成倒裝句seldom didthey have the opportunities to travel abroad. ?
