Part Ⅰ Reading Comprehension
Directions: In this part there are four passages for you to read. After each passage there are five questions, below each of whom there are four answers marked A, B, C and D. Chouse the best answer and mark the corresponding letter with a pencil on the Machine-Scoring Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage One
I was introduced to the concept of literacy animator in Oladumi Arigbede's (1994) article on high illiteracy rates among women and school dropout rates among girls. According to Arigbede, literacy animators view their role as assisting in the self-liberating development of people in the world who are struggling for a more meaningful life. Animators are a family of deeply concerned and committed people whose gut-level rejection of mass human pauperization compels them to intervene on the side of the marginalized. Their motivation is not derived from a love of literacy as merely another technical life skill, and they accept that literacy is never culturally or ideologically neutral.
Arigbede writes from her experiences as an animator working with women and men in Nigeria. She believes that literacy animators have to make a clear choice about whose culture and whose ideology will be fostered among those with whom they work. Do literacy educators in the United States consider whether the instruction they pursue conflicts with their students' traditional cultures or community, or fosters illiteracies in learners' first or home languages or dialects and. in their orality?
Some approaches to literacy instruction represent an ideology of individualism, control, and competition. Consider, for example, the difference in values conveyed and represented when students engage in choral reading versus the practice of having one student read out loud to the group. To identify as a literacy animator is to choose the ideology of "sharing, solidarity, love, equity, co-operation with and respect of both nature and other human beings". Literacy pedagogy that matches the animator ideology works on maintaining the languages and cultures of millions of minority children who at present are being forced to accept the language and culture of the dominant group. It might lead to assessment that examines the performance outcomes of a community of literacy learners and the social significance of their uses of literacy, as opposed to measuring what an individual can do as a reader and writer on a standardized test. Shor (1993) describes literacy animators as problerm-posing, community-based, dialogic educators. Do our teacher-education textbooks on reading and language arts promote the idea that teachers should explore problems from a community-based dialogic perspective?

1. A literacy animator is one who ______.

A.struggles for a more meaningful life
B.frees people from poverty and illiteracy
C.is committed to marginalize the illiterate
D.is concerned with what is behind illiteracy

A B C D

文章第1段提到，从事literacy animator的人都是deeply concerned and committed people... the marginalized，即他们由于反对贫穷而将自己投身于帮助这群处于社会边缘的文盲的事业中。他们的目的是帮助那些想过有意义生活的人实现自我教育。因此选项B正确。

2. The author suggests that literacy educators in the US in a way ______.

A.promote students' home languages
B.force students to accept their culture
C.teach nothing but reading and writing
D.consider literacy as of non-neutral nature

A B C D

文章第2段首先提到Arigbede认为literacy animators必须针对不同的工作对象审慎地选择培养他们什么样的文化和思想意识。随后作者又提出疑问：美国的文化教育工作者是否考虑过教授的内容与学生的traditional cultures or community相冲突。因此我们可以推测在美国literacy animators并没有考虑到这方面的因素，只是一味地传授自己的文化。故选项B正确。

3. Arigbede worked with Nigerians probably to ______.

A.teach American customs and ideology
B.make a choice of culture to be fostered
C.reject the values of the dominant class
D.help maintain Nigerian language and culture

A B C D

作者首先在第2段，然后在第3段中又着重论述到文化教育应该帮助那些被迫接受主流文化的少数群体保持自己特有的语言和文化。故选项D正确。

4. According to the author, "choral reading" may represent ______.

A.individualism
B.collectivism
C.competition
D.immersion

A B C D

文章第3段中主要是把choral reading和the practice of having one student read out loud to the group做对比，由后者的“个人表演”我们可以推测choral reading应该是选项B(集体主义)。

5. Animator ideology emphasizes more on ______.

A.the social function of literacy
B.students' performance in tests
C.the dominant group's language
D.the attainment of life skills

A B C D

由第一题题解可知，literacy animator主要目的是想帮人摆脱贫困，而第1段中又指出他们并不是出于对文化的热爱，而只是把其看做实际的生存技能。故选项D正确。

Passage Two
According to one survey of 12, 000 people, about 30 percent of those making New Year's resolutions say they don't even keep them into February. And only about 1 in 5 actually stays on track for six months or more, reports eDiets, com, a consumer diet and fitness Web site.
But don't let those odds make you reach for the nearest bag of potato chips. Experts say you can keep those resolutions long term, even if you're struggling now.
"The motivation comes from within, and so when you find that you're declining in your healthy eating program, and then just ask yourself, 'Is this going to get me the results that I want?'" says Leslie Stewart, a registered dietitian and licensed nutritionist.
"And if you're doing something every day to eat healthy, then that's going to pay off in the long run."
Stewart advises to use what she calls the 90 -10 eating rule.
"If you're eating healthy 90 percent of the time, then 10 percent of the time, you can cut yourself some slack and eat pleasurably."
She says she believes that "healthy eating is evolution instead of resolution."
The same principle can be applied to a lagging exercise resolution, too.
Staying motivated is key to long-term success, and reviewing original goals can help strengthen a weakening workout program.
Adding variety to a fitness regime also can prevent you from hanging up those exercise shoes. After a few weeks of well-intentioned workouts, boredom may be creeping into your routine.
Setting goals too high is another common mistake, "If you're not running a marathon at the end of the month, don't worry," said Mayo Clinic experts. A too intense workout—and the resulting pain and stiffness—is discouraging and may force most to abandon a program. Starting slowly is key.
But if your goals already have fallen by the wayside, Uria says to start up again immediately.
"A little setback is OK; get back on the horse and ride... drive toward that goal," he says.

1. According to the author, only about 20% people keeping their resolutions does not necessarily mean that ______.

A.the figure is rather depressing and unexpected as well
B.those who have made their resolution should give up their effort
C.whoever keep their resolutions should start eating potato chips
D.long-term resolutions are not important for those facing troubles

A B C D

文章第1段首先用数字说明只有很少的人能够坚持自己的计划，但第2段笔锋一转，提出专家认为“you can keep those resolutions long term, even if you're struggling now”，再结合下文的论述可知，作者认为不应该放弃自己的决心。故答案为B。

2. What is the idea behind the 90-10 eating rule acording to the passage?

A.You should keep eating healthy 90% of the time.
B.You should feel to eat 10% of the time.
C.You should learn to eat healthy gradually.
D.Sudden change will be more efficient and effective.

A B C D

The 90—10 eating rule是说如果你90%的时间都吃得很健康，那么另外的 10%的时间你就可以随便吃，也就是说你必须有90%的时间是健康饮食，而另外10%的时间没有特别的限制。故选项A正确。

3. Which of the following you should avoid to keep yourself interested in exercise?

A.Hanging up your exercise shoes if you feel tired.
B.Keeping boredom away from your daily activity.
C.Making a schedule with too high goals in it.
D.Running a marathon at the beginning of the month.

A B C D

文章后半部分在淡到保持运动的动力时提到setting goals too high is another common mistake，同时指出“Starting slowly is key.”。故选项C为答案。

4. How many suggestions at least have been introduced concerning the exercise resolution?

A.Four
B.Five
C.Six
D.Seven

A B C D

这四项包括：reviewing original goals, adding variety to a fitness regime, starting slowly和start up again immediately。

5. What is critically important in making long-lerm resolutions successful?

A.You should be struggling with yourself all the time.
B.You should constantly evaluate the results you want.
C.You should try to keep yourself motivated.
D.You should try your best to diversify your fitness practice.

A B C D

文章无论是谈论饮食还是运动都是从motivation的角度出发，故答案为选项C。

Passage Three
Our present generation of cultural critics, arriving after the assault of postmodernism and the increasingly widespread commercialization of culture, has been cast adrift, without any firm basis for judgments. Publications and institutions to support serious criticism, in this view, either no longer exist or are few in number.
Critics today, it is also claimed, are too cozy behind the ivied walls of academe, content to employ a prose style that is decipherable only to a handful of the cognoscenti. The deadly dive of Uniersity critics into the shallow depths of popular culture, moreover, reveals the unwillingness of these critics to uphold standards. Even if the reasons offered are contradictory, these Jeremiahs huddle around their sad conclusion that serious cultural criticism has fallen into a morass of petty bickering and bloated reputations.
Such narratives of declension, a staple of American intellectual life since the time of the Puritans, are misplaced, self-serving, and historically inaccurate, so difficult to prove. Has the level of criticism declined in the last 50 years? Of coarse the logic of such an opinion depends on the figures that are being contrasted with one another. Any number of cultural critics thriving today could be invoked to demonstrate that cultural criticism is alive and well.
But many new and thriving venues for criticism and debate exist today, and they are not limited solely t6 the discussion of literary works. Actually, they became so entrusted with their own certitude and political judgments that they beacme largely irrelevant. Today the complaint is that literary culture lacks civility. We live in an age of commercialism and spectacle. Writers seek the limelight, and one way to bask in it is to publish reviews that scorch the landscape, with Dale Peck as the famous, but not a typical case in point. Heidi Julavits, in an essay in The Believer, lamented the downfall of serious fiction and reviewing. She surveyed a literary culture that had embraced "snark", her term for hostile, self-serving reviews.
The snark review, according to Julavits, eschews a serious engagement with literature in favor of a sound-bite approach, an attempt to turn the review into a form of entertainment akin to film reviews or restaurant critiques. A critic found cultural criticism to be in "critical condition". For him, the postmodern turn to theory, in its questioning of objectivity, cut the critical, independent ground out from under reviewers. The rise of chain bookstores and blockbuster best sellers demeaned literary culture, making it prey to the commercial values of the market and entertainment.
The criticism does not seem discontinuous. Nor should we forget that civility rarely reigned in the circles of New York intellectuals. The art critic Clement Greenberg physically pummeled the theatre critic Lionel Abel after Abel rejected the view that Jean Wahl, the French philosopher, was anti-Semitic. Though Robert Peck has the reputation of a literary hatchet man, so far as I know his blows thus far have all been confined to the printed page.
Cultural criticism has certainly changed over the years. The old day's of the critic who wielded unchallenged authority have happily passed. Ours is a more pluralistic age, one not beholden to a narrow literary culture. The democratization of criticism— as in the Amazon system of readers' evaluating books—is a messy affair, as democracy must be. But the solution to the problems of criticism in the present is best not discovered in the musty basements of nostalgia and sentiment for the cultual criticism of a half-century gone. Rather the solution is to recognize, as John Dewey did almost a century ago, that the problems of democracy demand more democracy, less nostalgia for a golden age that never was, and a spirit of openness to what is new and invigorating in our culture.

1. What is the possible connection between cultural critics and publications and institutions?

A.Cultural critics attack postmodernism and commercialization cherished by publications and institutions.
B.Postmodernism and commercialization are attacked by the serious publications and institutions.
C.Cultural criticism is short of judgments and will not exist without the support of publications and institutions.
D.Publications and institutions show almost no interest in serious cultural criticism.

A B C D

文章第1段指出我们现今的文化批评家“has been cast adrift, without any firm basis for judgments”，同时Publications and institutions to support serious criticism... are few in number，即，同时也只有为数很少的support serious criticism的publications and institutions。故选项D正确。

2. How do the university critics like the serious cultural criticism?

A.Cultural criticism is not serious enough when the articles are written in the cozy prose style.
B.Popular culture is so prevailing that serious critics are not willing to keep to the shallow standards.
C.Serious cultural criticism is full of insignificant quarrels and the public do not really trust it.
D.Cultural critics have become so serious as to tell the stories imbued with American intellectual Puritanism.

A B C D

文章第2段指出，the university critics投身于the shallow depths of popular culture，同时认为serious cultural criticism has fallen into a morass of petty bickering and bloated reputations，即serious cultural criticism只是无关紧要的争吵，并不为公众所真正喜欢。故答案为C。

3. What is the author's opinion of the current complaint about the literary expansion into the other fields?

A.When literary critics discuss issues with political judgments, their views are likely to be meaningless.
B.It is reasonable for writers to seek limelight since we are living in the age of commercialism.
C.Critics should be encouraged to write and publish poignant articles which would scorch the landscape.
D.It is the critics' responsibility to lament the downfall of serious fiction and reviewing.

A B C D

对于文学评论涉及政治等级的领域，作者对此的态度体现在第4段：作者认为他们在很大程度上不相关，也就是说他们的评论很可能没有意义。故A项正确。其他几项不是作者本人的观点，故排除。

4. What does "the snark review" refer to according to Heidi Julavits?

A.Cultural reviews which are unfriendly and selfless.
B.Literary reviews avoiding serious criticism.
C.Entertainment reviews in the film industry.
D.Postmodern reviews independent of objectivity.

A B C D

由第4和第5段中对the snark review的描述可知，它是指“hostile, self-serving reviews”，故排除选项A；它避开了serious engagement with literature，而偏爱于sound bite approach，从而turn the review into a form of entertainment类似于film reviews or restaurant critiques，而并不是说the snark review就是film reviews，故选项B正确。

5. In order to find a way out the current dilemma for the cultunal criticism, the author suggests that ______.

A.we should return to the old days when the critics passed their judgments without challenges
B.pluralism should be held back, reinforcing the unchallenged authority in the literary criticism
C.democriatic criticism should not be adopted because it is rather messy as proved in the Amazon system
D.we should encourage more democracy, dismiss nostalgia and cultivate an open attitude

A B C D

文章最后提到对于文学评论困境的解决方法，也就是选项D所说的内容。

Passage Four
In July, almost unnoticed by the national press, a deadly bird virus arrived on a pheasant farm in Surrey. Experts from the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) identified Newcastle disease, a virus usually mortal to turkeys and geese but not humans, in a flock of 9,000 pheasant chicks imported from France ahead of the shooting season.
Within hours of the diagnosis, veterinary experts had swung into action, throwing up a 3km exclusion zone around the farm near Cobham and culling 10,000 birds. The carcasses were burned and premises cleaned to stop the virus escaping. It was four weeks before Defra's Veterinary Exotic Diseases Division felt it was safe for poultry move virus has reached Turkey, similar emergency plans are being readied by officials from Defra and other agencies. The scenario they are preparing for is that the H5Nlvirns, which so far has led to the culling of billions of chickens in south-east Asia and 60 human deaths, will soon arrive on these shores.
What happens next depends on where the outbreak occurs, whether it can be contained, and most important of all—whether it mutates to become infectious between people. So far, only poultry workers or those directly exposed to chicken faeces or blood are thought to be at risk, though direct human-to-human transmission cannot be ruled out.
"Every time a new person gets infected with the virus there is a small chance that person will trigger a pandemic," said Neil Ferguson, a scientist at Imperial College, who has been running simulations on what might happen were H5N1 to reach Britain. "It's a very small chance, probably 1 in a 1,000, 1 in 10,00O or less."
Should diseased birds reach Britain, the first step for veterinary officials would be to contain the outbreak as they did with Newcastle disease. An amber alert would be sounded and samples sent to the Veterinary Laboratory Agency (VLA) in Weybridge, Surrey. If lan Brown, the head of avian virology, there, confirms the cause of death as HSN1, the alert level will be raised to red and a whole series of emergency procedures, from quarantine, restriction of poultry movements to culling, will swing into action. Other agencies, such as the Department of Health—the Health Protection Agency and the Ministry of Defence, would be brought into the loop. In the event that the outbreak cannot be contained, Defra may have to consider mass culling programmes and the possibility of vaccination.
At this point, with the risk of the virus spreading to human populations, the Department of Health would appoint a UK national influenza pandemic committee to coordinate the response of hospital trusts and local authorities. The Civil Contingency Secretariat (CCS) of the Cabinet will also be alerted and Cobra, the emergency committee which coordinates Whitehall's response to terrorism, readied for a possible breakdown in civil order.
The Department of Health's pandemic preparedness plan published in March envisages as many as 54,000 Britons dying in the first few months of a flu pandemic. But in June, CCS officials warned that that could be an underestimate. The more likely figure, they said, was 700,000—a projection the Department of Health is expected to take on board when it updates its pandemic plan later this month.
In the most serious case, officials estimate there would be as many death sin the 12 weeks of an epidemic as there usually are in a year. At the peak of the pandemic, 19,000 people would require hospital beds, prompting councils to requisition schools to accommodate the sick.
To treat the dying, the government would begin drawing down its stockpiles of Tamiflu (药名), an anti-viral drug that treats flu. But with only 14m courses, enough for a quarter of the population, likely to be available, sooner or later rationing would have to be imposed, with health professionals and essential civil servants the first in line. The govenment would also come under pressure to release stores of its precious flu vaccine. At present there are contingency plans for just two to three million doses. But there is no guarantee that vaccines which protect against annual human flu strains will also work against H5N1.
The consequences hardly bear thinking about. Earlier this year, in a dress rehearsal in the East Midlands codenames Operation Arctic Circle, officials quickly concluded that mass mortuaries would be needed to bury the dead. But no one knows whether, in the event of a pandemic, any of these measures will prove effective. John Avizienius, senior scientific officer at the RSPCA and a member of Defra's avian influenza stakeholder group, said: "All you can do is plan for the worst case scenario."
The fear is that wild geese moving from western China to Siberia may have spread the virus to several species of ducks and gulls that briefly visit British shores on their annual migration north. These ducks, many of which may not show signs of illness, may be passing on the virus to poultry on British farms.
In the hope that they are not, Defra and the Wildfowl and Wetland announced last week that they would be conducting tests on 11,000 wild birds—three times the normal level. "The risk of avian influenza spreading from eastern Russia to the UK via migrating birds is still low," said Defra's chief vet, Debby Reynolds. "However, we have said all along that we must remain on the look out."

1. What does the "scenario" in Para. 2 mean to Turkey?

A.Turkey will be exposed to the nationwide aggression of the deadly virus as the most severely attacked country on these shores.
B.Turkey must kill billions of chicken and other kinds of poultry.
C.Turkey has to be responsible for the arrival of HSN1 on these shores.
D.All the veterinary experts in Turkey will soon swing into action.

A B C D

通过第2段可知scenario指的是土耳其对这种病毒的到来要做好紧急方案， C项正确。这种病毒是区域性的，而不是全国性的，A项排除；B项只是一种可能，而非绝对，因为这种病毒不是全国性的，所以不是所有的兽医都要采取行动。

2. What is, according to Nell Ferguson, the possible risk of bird flu if one gets infected?

A.Anyone's infection will trigger pandemic though it is probably one in ten thousand.
B.That each time a person gets infected with the virus will cause an enormous pandemic bird-flu.
C.The person infected with the virus will do great harm to people around him.
D.It is impossible that the virus infection of a certain person will cause a national bird virus spreading.

A B C D

由文章第4段的叙述知，Neil Ferguson认为Every time a new person gets infected with the virus there is a small chance (可能性很小) that person will trigger a pandemic。这与选项A的叙述一致，故答案为A。

3. The change of alert colors from amber to red implies that ______.

A.all poultry workers must leave their working places as soon as possible.
B.the officials in the Department of Health must call for much more of international assistance.
C.the most serious situation of bird-flu has appeared.
D.the change of the color functions greatly as the weather reports do.

A B C D

文章第5段提到，当the alert level升级为红色时，就应该马上采取a whore series of emergency procedures，也就是说此时形式已经变得很严峻。故选项C正确。

4. What are the steps taken by the Department of Health of UK with the risk of the virus spreading to human population?

A.The Department of Health required Civil Contingency Secretariat to publish documents for the pandemic preparedness.
B.The Department of Health required the UK national committee to co-work with hospital trusts and local authorities.
C.The Department of Health required Civil Contingency Secretariat to make a pandemic plan as soon as possible.
D.The Department of Health requires every hospital to store Tamiflu, the precious flu vaccine.

A B C D

文章第6段提到the Department of Health采取的措施，其中有任命a UK national influenza pandemic committee to coordinate the response of hospital masts and local authorities，即选项B的内容。

5. British government's fear of the wild geese from western China to Siberia is due to ______.

A.the domestic ducks and gulls infected by the imported geese to Britain.
B.the poultry on British farms has been infected by the immigrated wide geese.
C.the migration of the wild geese every winter.
D.British shores infected by the geese virus.

A B C D

文章倒数第2段指出了政府担心的原由，即may have spread the virus to several species of ducks and gulls that briefly visit British shores on their annual migration north，也就是担心每年北移到英国海岸的several species of ducks and gulls受到感染。故答案为C。

Part Ⅱ Translation

Part A Translate the following short paragraphs into Chinese.

1. Everyone has something they are ashamed of, afraid of or that they feel guilty about. Each of us, in our own way, has devised a neat little method of handling our dark side. We may know how to hide it. Few of us know how to heal it. When we refuse to admit what we have done in the past, we block out path to the future. No matter how terrible we think we are, how bad we belive we have been, how law we think we have fallen, we can clean our minds and begin again.

每个人都有他们所羞愧、所害怕或所内疚的事情。我们每个人都用自己的方式发明了小技巧来遮掩我们的黑暗面。也许我们知道如何去掩盖，但很少有人知道如何去治愈。当我们拒绝承认过去所做过的事情时，其实我们是在阻挡自己的前程。无论我们认为自己有多糟糕，坚信自己一直有多坏，认为自己有多么陷落，我们仍然可以净化思想，从头来过。

2. We expend so much energy trying to fix who we are, we rarely get to know ourselves. If we realized how precious the gist of life is, we would not waste a moment trying to improve it. If we really understood how precious we are to the gift of life, we would not waste time trying to fix ourselves.

我们花费大量精力去给白己定位，却很少想过去了解我们自己。如果我们意识到生命的本质有多么珍贵，我们就不会浪费一分一秒试图去改进生命。如果我们真正懂得自己对生命这份礼物而言是多么珍贵，我们也就不会浪费时间去给自己定位。

3. We cannot draw to us more than we believe we are worth. Everything that happens to us and every choice we make is a reflection of what we believe about who we are. Our inspiration comes from our self-acceptance. Our motivation comes from our self-reliance. When we accept ourselves and rely on ourselves, we feel good about ourselves. When you feel good about something, you believe in it. When you believe in it, it will work for you!

没有什么比我们所相信的自己的价值更能吸引我们的了。我们身上所发生的每一件事情以及我们所做的每一个选择都是我们对自己定位的反射。我们的灵感来自于自我接受；我们的动机来自于自我依靠。当我们接受并且依赖自己时，我们自我感觉良好。当你对某事物感觉很好时，你就会去信任它；当你信任它时，它将会为你服务。

4. It is of little consequence what your past has been. What matters to you and for you is right now. It is not your concern what others may be saying or doing. When you are taking care of yourself, you have very little time to pay attention to others. People can love you or hate you, ignore you or dote on your every word. No matter what anyone else may think or do or say, it has very little impact on who you really are. It is only in your mind that you build or destroy the esteem for your "self". Selfesteem begins and ends with you. When you have it, you have it and no one can take it away from you.

你的过去怎样并不重要。对你而言重要的是现在。别人说什么或做什么与你无关。当你关注你自己时，就无暇去留意别人。人们可以喜欢你，也可以讨厌你，可以忽视你，也可以宠爱你。不管其他人想什么、做什么或说什么，对于你的真实自我并没有任何影响。仅仅只是在你的头脑里建立起或者毁掉对自己的尊重。自尊始于你，也终于你。当你拥有它时，你就是拥有，没人可以把它从你那儿拿走。

Part B Translate the following paragraph into English.

1. 现在，成千上万的美国人沉湎于对身材苗条的追求之中。他们着迷于节食和，锻炼，这不仅仅是因为他们对年轻外表的追求。最近的一项研究表明了节食和体育锻炼对身体健康极端重要。如同在许多工业技术发达的国家一样，北美人的生活方式发生了显著的变化。现代化的机器完成了人们曾被迫用手工来完成的体力劳动。小汽车、公共汽车运载着我们飞快地从一地来到另一地。由于无所事事，人们的身体变得十分虚弱，并易于生病，为了避免这种状况的发生，成千上万的美国人把更多的时间投入到体育锻炼中。这种对体育锻炼重要性的认识所产生的结果是显而易见的：公园里到处都是散步和骑自行车的人，体育节目又重新树立了威望，许多公司都为自己的员工提供特殊的运动器材以让他们在工作日中锻炼身体。

Nowadays, thousands of Americans indulge in the pursuit of slim bodies. They are possessed by on diet and exercise, which is not just the result of going in for young exterior. A recent research shows the extreme importance that on diet and exercise are of to keeping healthy. Like in many countries with highly developed industrial technology, the life style of North Americans has undergone dramatic changes. Modern machinery has completed physical work once done by compelled hands. We move fast from one place to another by cars and buses. Due to idleness, bodies become quite fragile and are inclined to sickness. To avoid the occurrence of such things, thousands of Americans devote more time in doing exercise. And the consequence brought by the realization of the importance of physical exercise is obvious: People who are walking and riding in parks are here and there; sport programs once again establish their prestige; many firms provide special sport equipments for their staff to do exercise during their working day.

Part Ⅲ Writing
Directions: You are to write a composition of no less than 250 words and do your composition neatly on the Answer Sheet. Your composition should be based on the following topic.

1. What Should Human Do to Preserve the Nature?

What Should Human DO to Preserve the Nature?
The nature is the basis for human's survival. More and more facts show that the worsening environment has brought serious disaster to our daily life. So how to preserve the nature and realize sustainable development should be taken into great consideration by all of us.
First and foremost, reducing the emission of polluted stuff is an effective way to relieve air and water pollution. We should make full use of high technology to conduct green procedures in every field. Second, our dependence on natural resources should be taken place by synthetic materials for the purpose of saving limited resources; besides, to exact useful materials from garbage or waste to realize recycle use is also an adoptable way to use resources more effectively. Thirdly, as for those rare wild animals and plants, it is our obligations to build a peaceful environment for their living. Prohibiting hunting randomly and establishing natural reserves are good choices, and sometimes tough means are also needed, such as enacting laws and so on.
Apart from all of those mentioned above, we must massively propagandize to enhance people's consciousness—the environmental protection consciousness. We must realize that the achievements we have made are at a high expense and from now on it is our tarn to repay nature.
The nature is our home and our friend. To preserve the nature is equivalent to protect ourselves. So in order to live in a harmonious and pleasant planet, we should be on alert at this time and in this place.
