They attempt to get at what type of person you are, what motivates you，and what you feel passion for. In a single 500-word piece of writing，admissions officers(招生负责人)attempt to gather all about you. So your task is of your personality on the essay and make yourself special. You can try and guess what the admissions officers like. But that wont workThe essay will sound empty and become another dull piece of writing，which admissions officers get thousands of each year It is true that admissions officers arent exactly looking for anything. The answer is just as open-ended as the question itself. If they ask for someone who has inspired you, it could be anyone. It could be a grandmother, a teacher, or even a character from a movie. A lot of people will say their dad. But since you really feel it, youll have a lot to write about. There are some important things to rememberThese admissions officers want good writers. You dont have to be Ernest Hemingway, but you have to be able to form an interesting storyThat means revision(校对)and editing，cutting out stupid grammar mistakes，reading it over several times，leaving it for a few days and looking at it again. Whatever you do, make sure the essay is as good as possible. Also，you should use exciting language and really make the reader feel the same passion as you do. It also means finding something unique about your point of view, something that other people might not think ofFor example，if you want to write about your dad, you can focus on a specific anecdote(趣闻)about him .Admissions officers love personal stories that ring true60. The purpose of the passage is to give advice on how to_.A. choose an essay topic B. read the officersmindsC. be a good writer D. write an effective application61. The underlined part of paragraph 2 suggests that you_.A.stick enough stamps before posting your application essayB.write something unique in an essay to impress the readers C.take the task of showing off yourself seriously D.pay attention to your personal essay 62. When admissions officers ask who has inspired you，they mean to_.A.know about your family members B. understand you betterC.find out what your father does D.discover your personal affairs63. According to the writer, it is wise to produce an essay with_.A.500 beautiful words B.many funny things C.truthful specific stories D.indirect answersCA serous problem for todays society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institution should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.64.What is the passage mainly about? AThe problem faced by the old in society. BWhy we should take responsibility for the old.CHow we can improve the lives of the old. DWhere the old can go to get their pensions. 65.According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?ASet aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.BIncrease savings levels of people during their working years.CIncrease the discounts for food and transport for the old.DMake available pensions for those who have retired.66.The underlined word “viable” most probably means .Aimpossible Bpractical Cuseful Dsuccessful67.What can be concluded from the passage? ATaking care of the old is mainly an issue of money. BEmployers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.CBecoming independent should be the goal of most old people.DThere is no single solution to the problems of the old.DChristmas in Australia is often very hot. Whereas the northern hemisphere is in the middle of winter, Australians are baking in summer heat. It is not unusual to have Christmas Day well into the mid 30 degrees Celsius, or near 100 degrees Fahrenheit. A traditional meal includes a turkey dinner, with ham, and pork. A flaming Christmas plum pudding is added for dessert. In the Australian gold rushes, Christmas puddings often contained a gold nugget. Today a small favor is baked inside. Whoever finds this knows s/he will enjoy good luck. Another treat is Mince Pies. Some Australians and particularly tourists often have their Christmas dinner at midday on a local beach, Bondi Beach in Sydneys Eastern Suburbs attracts thousands of people on Christmas Day. Other families enjoy their day by having a picnic. If they are at home, the day is punctuated by swimming in a pool, playing Cricket out the backyard, and other outdoor activities. The warm weather allows Australians to enjoy a tradition which started in 1937. Carols by Candlelight is held every year on Christmas Eve, where tens of thousands of people gather in the city of Melbourne to sing their favorite Christmas songs. The evening is lit by as many candles singing under a clean cut night sky. The sky with its Southern Cross stars is like a mirror. Sydney and the other capital cities also enjoy Carols in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Australians surround themselves with Christmas Bush, a native plant which has little red flowered leaves. 68. It is usual to have a hot Christmas in Australia because _.A. the country is in t
