As a result， an increasing number of people are fond of purchasing goods with the help of media， such as newspapers， radio stations， TV stations and the Internet. As we know， there are always two sides to everything and shopping via media is no exception. On the one hand， it saves much time， money and effort to purchase goods through media since you dont have to go to the shops in person. Besides， you can choose what you want from an enormous variety of goods on display. On the other hand， you may be cheated sometimes by the false information and suffer a considerable loss. As far as I am concerned， shopping via media brings great benefits to our life and our economy on the whole. At the same time， we need strengthened supervision over the information released via media. In this way， we can gain more benefits from shopping via media and reduce th2011年公共英语考试三级重点句型及考点练习（1）Dialogues /monologues: 1、 Are you being attended to, Miss? 翻译为：小姐，有人在为您服务吗?在商场、饭店中，to attend to sb.的意思是，招呼、照顾、协助某位顾客。 这句话用主动语气可以说成：Is anybody attending to you, Miss? 2、 You may divide cyber retailers into three subsets and attack each with a different strategy. 翻译为：您可以将网上零售商分成三个子类，用不同的战略对付他们。 注意的词语：divide into：分成 练习: Buying computer and software At first, I was reluctant to buy computer products completely online. Many of the online computer stores used to sell exclusively through printed catalogs, addressing the technically astute. I found those printed catalogs intimidating and confusing. And preferred to go to a physical store, where knowledgeable sales people could guide me through the maze of choices, explaining the benefits and risks and costs. When egghead, the prominent software retailer, closed its physical stores and decided to operate solely online, I was shocked and disappointed, as I had shopped hardware or software regularly at the local egghead store and depended on expertise, judgment and advice from their sales people. Also, I greatly valued the fact that when I brought new add-ons or upgrades for my PC, I could pay to have them installed on the spot. But now I was forced to learn more about computers than I ever expected to learn. As it turns out, thats probably a good thing for me and for my budget. Today, the computer industry is a commodity, standards-driven marketplace. Computer “manufactures” are really just assembles. They buy processors from one, software, disks, memories, from other sources, and assemble them into systems. The competition is fierce and the profit margins are slim. In terms of the basic specsspeed, memory, and storagewhat we now define as a “complete system” for home use would have made a wealthy technical guru tremble with jealousy ten years ago. Fifteen years ago, is seemed inconceivable that an ordinary individual would ever need a 100 MHZ machine with 1 gigabyte of disk storage space. Yet, with the predictable improvement of technology, the speed of commercially available processors doubles about every 18 months according to a rule of thumb (known as “Moores law”). While at some point, technology must meet barriers that will slow the pace of change, the computer industry has been adapting at this incredibly rapid rate for more than two decades now, with great regularity. And the software industry has been keeping in lock step with these hardware developments by making each new version of the common applications that people depend upon more and more complex and bulky, requesting the full capacity of the latest and greatest hardware. I believe this software inflation results from the consequences of human naturesoftware expands to fill the capacity available for it. Basically, “Moores law” plus software inflation mean todays computer system will not last. And the new versions of software will make your equipment painfully slow in two years, and obsolete in four. To stay compatible with other people with whom you have to share files, you should invest time learning about these add-ons gadgets, etc. to upgrade your system. Thus you can make full use of the shopping resources on the Internet, and save again and again. 参考译文: 购买电脑和软件 刚开始的时候，我不太情愿完全依靠网络购买电脑产品。许多网上电脑商店过去主要靠打出来的产品目录进行销售，上面清楚地写明了技术需求。但是我总认为那样的产品目录看起来让人感觉有些发怵而且稀里糊涂的，所以我还是偏爱实体商店，因为那里有精通业务的销售人员，他们能指引我走出迷宫做出选择，他们还能向我解释产品的优点、风险性和成本。 当着名的软件销售商Egghead关闭实体店铺，决定只走网络运营路线的时候我感觉震惊和失望。因为我总是定期到Egghead在当地的实体店铺去购买软件和硬件，仰仗那里的销售人员的专业技能、判断力和经验。还有一点让我非常看重的是：每当我购买新的附加软件或是将我的个人电脑升级时，我只需付些费用就可以让他们在现场给我安装完毕。但是现在我却被迫去了解更多的电脑知识，而我以前是不需要了解这么多的。但是后来发现，这或许对我来说是件好事，而且节省了我的预算。 今天，计算机产业是一种商品，是一个以标准为市场导向的市场。计算机“制造者”们实际上只不过是组装者。他们从某个渠道购买处理器，从其它渠道购买软件、光盘和内存，然后将它们组装成系统。竞争是激烈的，利润空间也不大。从最基本的配置速度、内存和硬盘空间来讲，我们现在所定义的家用“全套系统”足以让十年前富有的技术权威羡慕地发颤不可。 15年以前，似乎难以想象一个普通人会需要100兆的机器和十亿字节的磁盘存储空间。然而，随着可以预见的技术进步，仅凭经验(被称为“摩尔定律”)就可以推知：商用存储器的速度每隔18个月就会成倍增长。然而，技术必定会在某个时候遇上某种障碍，使其减缓变化的步伐。计算机产业在最近二十年来，一直处于令人难以置信的发展速度，到现在已经稳步发展了。软件产业一直与硬件发展保持着齐肩并进的态势，人们最常用的应用软件的更新版本愈发复杂与宠大，只有用最新及功能最强大的硬件才能操作使用。我认为软件企业的这种膨胀源于人类的天性软件需要扩展以充分利用已有的空间。 从根本上来讲，“摩尔”定律加上软件膨胀就意味着当今的计算机系统不会维持长久。更新的软件版本会在两年内使你的装备显得速度极慢，四年以后就该淘汰了。为了与和你共享文件的其他人步调保持一致，你需要花些时间了解这些附加软件、小工具等，以便将你的计算机系统升级。因此，你可以充分利用网上购物资源，一遍又一遍地反复保存更新软件和工具。2011年公共英语考试三级重点句型及考点练习（2）2011年下半年全国英语等级考试已经进入到报名阶段，为了帮助同学们更好地备考pets三级，针对写作，小编特整理了2011年公共英语考试三级重点句型及考点练习（2），以此帮助各位考生顺利通过考试。练习: To purchase beads there are many alternatives in the way to shop for them. Beads are available as a single or as part of a jewelry item. Popular jewelry items include necklaces, bracelets and caps. Firstly, bead shops are available in shopping malls. This is possibly the cheapest means of purchasing a single bead. The stores will purchase a large amount of each type and size of bead at a lower price from wholesale and then pass on part of the savings to the customer. This form of bead shopping will enable the purchase to buy as many single beads as are required in order to make a personal item of jewelry or other beaded item. Shopping malls very often sell every type of bead imaginable, the types of beads include seed beads, crystal beads, glass beads, lamp work beads and silver beads, etc. shopping malls also sell beaded jewelry items at reasonable prices. These items may be fashionable, off purchases or of unusual requirements. Secondly, specific outlets are also an option when one purchases beads. Swarovski is the most popular outlet of crystal beads. Therefore many customers may prefer to deal directly with that specific supplier. This will ensure that the crystal beads are genuine and possibly offering the most choice. Specific outlets may be more expensive because of the brand names that are usually attached. This is also the case when considering the purchase of jevelry items from specific outlets. Thirdly, catalogues are a hassle free means of purchasing beads and beaded items. The customer will usually call the shop for the required catalogue and within one or two weeks the catalogue will be delivered. The customer can then send off the desired purchase by post or over the phone. Payments can usually be made by credit card either at the time of at a later date. It is important to consider postage and packaging costs when catalogue purchasing. Finally, the Internet is quick and efficient source of purchasing beads. This is especially useful if rare or collectable beads are purchase these types of beads. Shops are also available online and this can be an easy purchasing method. Again, many Internet companies will also require an additional charge for postage and packaging. 参考译文: 买珠子的方式有很多种。可以单个买珠子，也可以作为珠宝首饰中的一部分。大众流行的珠宝首饰包括项链、手镯和镶嵌珠宝的帽子。 首先，大型购物商场就有珠宝店。要买到最便宜的单个珠宝要数这里了。这里的珠宝店从批发商那里以低的价格大量购进各种款型和规格的珠子，然后让利于消费者。这种形式的珠子购买方式可以使购买者想买多少珠子，以便于定制个人珠宝首饰或其他镶嵌珠宝的物件。购物中心总是出售你可以想像得到的各种各样的珠子，包括植物种子做成的珠子、水晶珠子、玻璃珠子、能照明的珠子、银珠子等等。大型购物中心还以比较合理的价位销售镶珠的首饰。这些首饰有可能是时尚的，不供出售的或者是按特殊要求定制的。 顾客都愿意直接与那些专营供应商交易。这样可以确保买到的水晶珠子是真货，而且有可能有更多的选择。专营店的珠宝价格可能会比较昂贵，这是因为珠子上面通常帱有商标。当你考虑购买专营店的珠宝首饰时更是如此。 第三，按商品目录购买珠子和珠宝首饰会省去很多麻烦。顾客通常打电话向商家索要产品目录，商家会在一两周内发送目录。然后顾客通过邮寄或电话的方式订购想要的产品。通常可以用信用卡当时付款或晚些付款。重要的是，按目录购买货物时要考虑邮资和包装成本问题。 最后，网络是一种快捷、高效的购买珠宝的方式。尤其是需要购买稀有珠宝或是要收藏珠宝时非常有用。现在还设有专门的地方以方便珠宝收藏者交换和购买各种类型的珠子以及网上商店这种便捷的购物方式。重申一下，许多网络公司会因邮资和包装收一些额外费用。2011年公共英语考试三级重点句型及考点练习（3）来源：互联网【考试大：中国最受欢迎的考试教育王国】2011年5月31日2011年下半年全国英语等级考试已经进入到报名阶段，为了帮助同学们更好地备考pets三级，针对写作，小编特整理了2011年公共英语考试三级重点句型及考点练习（3），以此帮助各位考生顺利通过考试。第十二部份：Dialogues /monologues: 1、 It severs as a bridge for southern goods to enter northern markets and vise versa. 2、 Yup!

My favorite writer is Jane Austen, the one who wrote pride and prejudice. When BBC screened its latest adaptation of Jane Austens novel pride and prejudice, it was watched by a record 18 million British viewers. The series was then sold to 18 countries round the world, from America to Australia, from Iceland to Israel, there are Jane Austen fans in all corners of the globe, and even special Jane Austen discussion groups on the internet. Jane Austen never once traveled aboard in her life time and she hardly ever left the south of England. When she died a spinster in 1817, only four of her six novels had been published, all anonymous and she eared a grand total of 648.65 pounds from her books. Now, nearly 200 years later, sales of her novels rival modern bestsellers, reaching 35,000 a week. There have been film and television productions of not only pride and prejudice, but also Emma, Persuasion, and the Oscar-winning Sense and Sensibility. Her house in Chawton in Hampshire is visited by 200 people a day. She wad born in 1775, the seventh of eight children. Her father was the reverend George Austen. They were not well off, and lived in a village. By the time when she was 12, Jane was writing stories about heroines imprisoned in haunted castles, being rescued by glamorous heroes. In Janes own life there were three romantic attachments. The first was a handsome Irish law student called Tom Lefroy, who she met in 1795, but who had to return to Ireland a year later. The second, in 1801, was a young man called Samuel Blackall who she fell in love with when on holiday in Devon, but who tragically died suddenly soon after. The third was a large young man called Harries whose proposal she briefly accepted in 1802, “but he had nothing to recommend him but his size,” so she changed her mind. In 1801 the family moved to Bath, where she was very unhappy. To make matters worse, in 1805 her father died, leaving his widow, Jane and her only sister Cassandra, also unmarried, even poorer than before. For four years they had to move from house to house, often staying with relatives. Finally in 1809 her brother Edward allowed them to live in a house on his estate in Chawton, only a few miles from Steventon where she had grown up. Here she was much happier, despite being the poor relation, dependent on charity. She not only revised her earlier novel but was able to write new ones, using her experiences to satirize and make fun of the social inequalities she saw around her. At last in 1811, Sense and Sensibility was the first of her novels to be published. 参考译文： 我喜欢看小说，特别是那些精典名着。我特别喜爱的一个作者是简.奥斯丁。她写过一部小说叫傲慢与偏见。当BBC(英国广播公司)上映简.奥斯丁的傲慢与偏见小说的最终改写本时，当时创下了1800万英国观众的收看记录。之后，一系列的丛书出售到全世界18个国家，从美国到澳大利亚，从冰岛到以色列，全世界到处到有简.奥斯丁的狂热书迷，甚至在互联网上还有专门的简.奥斯丁的讨论组。 简.奥斯丁在她的生活中没有出过一次国，甚至从末离开过英国的南部。在1987年她过世的时候，还是个末婚女子，她的六部小说只有四部已经出版，并且全部是匿名的，她只挣到了共648.65英镑，这就是她小说的全部酬劳。如今，也就是此后将近200年后，她小说的销售商击败了当今的顶级推销员，每星期可达到35000英镑的收益。已经成为电影、电视出版物的不仅仅是傲慢与偏见，还有埃玛、劝导、还有奥斯卡获奖作品理智与情感。她在汉普郡Chawton的家，每天都不低于200人参观拜访。 简.奥斯丁出生于1775年，是家里八个孩子中的第七个。她的父亲是受人尊敬的牧师乔治. 奥斯丁。她们家不富裕，而且住在一个乡村里。直到她十二岁的那年，简.奥斯丁一直在写关于女主人公被关押在魔鬼城堡的故事，直到被魅力英雄拯救出来。在简的生命中，有三次浪漫的情感历程。第一次，是与一个英俊的爱尔兰法律系的学生，名叫Tom Lefroy，她是在1795年遇到他的，但他不得不在一年之后返回爱尔兰。第二次是在1801年，一个名叫Samuel Blackall的年青男子在德尔郡的假日里让她坠入爱河。但是那个男子没过多久，突然悲惨
