examinationrecently jiangsu provinces has made a plan to reform its college entrance examination. 书面表达【参考范文】recently jiangsu provinces has made a plan to reform its college entrance examination. it is said that probably english will not be included in the college entrance examination. opinions are greatly divided on this topic. those who support the plan hold the view that when students enthusiasm in learning english is reduced, they will have more time to learn other subjects. moreover, they will have less homework, thus no longer suffering from so much pressure.however, every coin has two sides. people who are against it think the reform will not only have a bad influence on the teaching and learning of english, but also affect students long-term development.personally i am not in favor of it. firstly, english is more than an international language. it is an important tool. also, we cannot get along well with other countries and learn about their cultures if we dont understand their language. 【2014高考英语安徽省联考模拟试题】书面表达（共1题，满分25分）随着经济的发展和人们生活水平的提高，很多人都开上了私家车。与此同时，为了缓解交通压力，倡导绿色出行，很多城市也相继推出了免费的自行车租赁业务。自行车，私家车，你更愿意采用哪种出行方式？ 说说你的理由。注意： 1) 词数120左右； 2) 题目已经给出。适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。which means of transport do you prefer? 【参考范文】which means of transport do you prefer?with the development of economy, peoples living conditions have been greatly improved. private cars have become one of the main means of transport i n our daily life. meanwhile, to release the traffic pressure, a free bicycle-rent service has come into being, promoting a greener way of life.as far as i am concerned, if the destination is not far away, bicycle is a much better choice. for one thing, the number of cars has increased so faster that you may easily get stuck in the traffic jam wasting your precious time in the rush hour. for another, riding a bicycle takes the same amount time as using public transportation or a private car and it is obviously more convenient, time saving and environmentally friendly.for a better and greener world, lets choose bicycles as our main means of transport.阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a,b,c或d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。the need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the worlds supply of water. with 97% of the worlds water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. although the idea of a water shortage (短缺) seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the worlds agricultural industries experience constant water shortages. although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution (重新分配) are very high. not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be considered. where valleys (山谷) are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. besides, water may flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements. this is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation (灌溉). in texas, farmers overuse of irrgation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores. in the central valley area of southwestern usa, a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry valleys, but much of the water use has been poorly managed. saudi arabias attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves. because there is no rainfall in these areas, such reserves can only decrease, and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry. 1. from the first two paragraphs we learn that.a. much of the worlds water is available for useb. people in high rainfall countries feel luckyc. the costs of water redistribution should be consideredd. water can be easily carried through pipes across the world2. which of the following is true? a. the water stores in texas have been reduced by 75%. b. most industries in the world suffer from water shortages. c. the underground water in saudi arabia might run out in 50 years. d. good management of water use resulted from the project in the central valley. 3. what is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows? a. steps to improving water use management. b. ways to reduce the costs of building dams. c. measures to deal with worldwide water shortages. d. approaches to handling the pressure on water supply. 4. the text is mainly about.a. water supply and increasing populationb. water use management and agriculturec. water redistribution and wildlife protectiond. water shortages and environmental protection【参考答案】1-4 ccab 阅读理解。the internet will open up new vistas (前景)，create the global villageyou can make new friends all around the world.that，at least, is what it promised us.the difficulty is thatit did not take the human mind into account.the reality is that we can not keep relationship with more than a limited number of people.no matter how hard the internet tries to putyou in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.the problem is twofold(双重的)first, there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with.that number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain.second, the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest (投入) in them.we invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute whats left among as many others as we can.the problem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline (减弱)until eventually it dies into “someone i once knew”this is not, of course, to say that the internet doesnt serve a socially valuable function.of course it does.but the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world.in one sense, thats a good thing.but it also has a disadvantage.if you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see them, then certainly you arent using your time to make new friends where you now live.and i suspect that probably isnt the best use of your time.meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other, face to face.the internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end, but it wont stop that happening eventually.一般认为网络在让人与人交流方面起到了非常重要的作用。而本文作者对此却持怀疑态度。他认为网络在加强人与人之间的关系方面并没有起到应有的作用。17what is stressed in the first paragraph?athe present situation of the internet.bthe difficulty in communication on the internet.cthe socially valuable function of the internet.dthe role of the human mind in the internet communication.答案：d。主旨大意题。由文章第一段特别是最后一句“no matter how hard the internet tries to put you in communication，its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.”可知人类思维在网络交流中起到举足轻重的作用，故d项正确。18the underlined word “engagement” in the second paragraph probably means “_”aappointment bconnectioncinterview dagreement答案：b。词义猜测题。句意为：问题是如果我们在一个人身上花很少时间，我们跟这个人的联系将会减弱到“他只是一个曾经认识的人”，因此划线单词意为“联系，交往”。19according to the passage, the author holds the view that_.athe internet fails to play so valuable a role in communication as it promisedbthe internet determines the quality of social relationshipscthe internet greatly increases the size of social circlesdthe internet communication is no less effective than the facetoface talk答案：a。推理判断题。由文章的一些信息“this is not ，of course，to say that the internet doesnt serve a socially valuable function.以及the internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end，but it wont stop that happening eventually.”等可推知网络在人与人之间的交流上并没有起到应有的作用，故a项正确。20what is the authors attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships?ahe is uncertain about it.bhe is hopeful of it.che approves of it.dhe doubts it.答案：d。态度观点题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了网络在人与人之间的交流方面并没有起到应有的作用，因此作者对网络在加强人与人之间关系方面持的是怀疑的态度，d项正确。阅读理解。coconutcoconut trees can be seen all over
