telling you to keep your writing simple to use simple language However why do so many people continue to ignore that good advice A conversation around the theme of simplicity 简明 gets me thinking about this question Why are people so fond of words that are hard to read A study looked into the way word choice changes the judgment we make about someone s intelligence Students were asked to rate the intelligence of writers based on essays that they d written and choose books suitable for graduate study The results The simpler the essay the more likely it was the author would be 用心 爱心 专心5 rated as intelligent and recommended for going to the graduate school The author of the study Daniel Oppenheimer concludes The experts are likely right write clearly and simply if you can and you ll be more likely to be thought of as intelligent So why is it so hard to put the writing advice into practice In the same article Oppenheimer mentions that 86 of students at Stanford admitted using complicated language in their essays to make their work sound more intelligent Some of the possible reasons include Desire to prove your topic is complicated by using complicated words Fear of being regarded as lacking education Natural desire to copy the language patterns of others Little encouragement to use ordinary words Lack of time to translate the complicated words used around you into everyday words Longer words keep subjects impersonal 客观的 reducing potential for personal criticism and attack It s the way people above you write so you think it s the ladder to success What about you Can you see any hidden benefits of using long words Have you ever found yourself changing a simple word for a longer one to achieve a particular effect 36 Why do many people like to use longer words a They think of longer words as a sign of intelligence b Lack of instructions on writing skills c They think longer words reduce potential for personal criticism d Lack of time to transform complicated words into simple ones A acd B abc C bcd D abd 37 What can you learn from the text about the study A It suggests that longer words are the ladder to success B It shows that using plain language is more acceptable C It proves that it is students duty to choose books for graduate school D It proves that schools always consider students opinions 38 When writing according to the text Oppenheimer encourages people to A copy the language patterns of others B choose complicated topics C use complicated words D use plain language 39 This text is probably from A a health magazine B a magazine about language C a science report D a lecture on intelligence 用心 爱心 专心6 B Australia the last continent was discovered by ships belonging to European nations in the seventeenth century These nations were less interested in changing it into a colony 殖民地 than in exploiting it As in the early history of the United States it was the 用心 爱心 专心7 English who set up the settlements in Australia This history and the geography of these two British colonies have some other things in common as well Australia and the United States are about the same in size and their western lands are both not rich in soil It was the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west However this westward movement took place more because the English were searching for better land than because the population was increasing Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold was discovered in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common there are some striking 显著的 differences as well The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without having to go to war Australia unlike the United States was firstly turned into a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising By 1922 for example Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people or almost half as many sheep as there are people today in the United States Yet in spite of these and other main difference Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world 40 In the early history of America and Australia both colonies developed towards the west firstly for the reason that A the population was increasing rapidly in the east B the English thought there might be richer land there C gold was discovered there D fewer people lived there 41 In the early 1920s A Australia had one fifteenth as many people as sheep B there were more sheep in Australia than in the United States C the population in Australia was greater than that of the United States D the United States had twice as many sheep as people 42 Australia unlike the United States A did not discover gold until the late 1840s B was the last and biggest continent to be discovered C was not rich in gold in its western part D won its independence by peaceful means 43 In the last paragraph the underlined sentence means A the United States and Australia do not have any main difference B the United States and Australia have nothing in common with the rest of the world C the United States and Australia have much more in common than they 班 级 姓 名 考 号 装 订 线 用心 爱心 专心8 have with other countries 用心 爱心 专心9 D in common with the rest of the world the United States and Australia have a lot of differences C Congratulations Mr Jones it s a girl Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words Some feel proud when they receive the news while others worry wondering whether they will be good fathers Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time For other couples pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child it is clear that the change from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task Yet unfortunately few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this resocialization process Although many books have been written about American mothers only recently has literature referred to the role of a father It is argued by some writers that the transition 转化 to the father s role although difficult is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother s role The mother s role seems to require a complete transformation in daily life and highly innovative 革新性的 adaptation on the other hand the father s role is less demanding and immediate However even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the family 44 According to the author being a father A brings a feeling of excitement to some men B makes some men feel proud and others worried C has a different meaning for those who have daughters D means nothing but more responsibilities 45 In the third paragraph the author A criticizes 批评 fathers for not taking enough responsibilities in bringing up their children B excuses the American writers for ignoring the difficulties of being a father C supports the idea that the chief 主要的 role of a father is to earn money for the family D complains about the lack of social program to help husbands get used to the role of a father 46 The transi
