防止海龟减少的办法是否有用

阅读： 有

种办法防止海龟减少

建立金属围栏，防止海龟蛋被素食者吃掉

禁用塑料袋，海龟吃了塑料袋，消化道会被堵塞

< br>

3

把传统渔网改成只能捕鱼而不会限制海龟的，海龟被 渔网捉住，会溺水

听力：上述办法都不行

1.

金属围栏会阻碍小海龟的磁场发育，海龟靠磁场导航，找食物，找配偶，找地方产卵。< /p>

没有发育好的磁场，海龟根本无法生存，繁衍。

2.

限制塑料袋或许有用。问题是，现在海里已经有成 千上万的塑料袋了，即使分解成了

小片，一样会危害海龟。所以限塑解决不了燃眉之急。

3.

改进的渔网，渔民会拒 绝使用，因为网到的鱼会减少，收入会减少。即使有法律规定

必须使用，渔民也会趁没人 使用传统渔网，回到岸上再换成改进渔网。

Sample Answer:

When it comes to the decrease of sea t

urtle?s population, the reading puts forward three

solutions to prevent this tendency. However, all these three solutions are regarded as

invalid in the listening.

First, the idea that building a metal fence will work. Not as it puts in the reading, the

listening argues that the mental fence will hinder the development of magnetic field

which exerts influence on the growth of the little sea turtles. The listening further

illustrates that sea turtles rely on magnetic field to navigate, find food and mates as well

as find a suitable place to lay eggs. Without a fully developed magnetic field, they cannot

live and reproduce.

As to the second measure of a ban of the plastic bags, the listening still refutes it. As a

matter of fact, there are already thousands of plastic bags in the sea, which, although

decomposing into small pieces, still pose great threat to sea turtles. Therefore, the ban

of plastic bags is not the point.

Lastly, the reading calls on to transform the traditional fishing nets into those catching

only fish but not sea turtles. Unfortunately, the third solution is not able to work well.

The listening explains that the fishermen will refuse to use the transformed fishing nets

for they will catch fewer fish and thus get a decreased income. Even though relevant

laws are enacted, the fishermen will apply the traditional fishing nets before replacing

them with the transformed fishing nets on shore.

You are helping to select a leader for a student organization or a group. Do you think a

person's honest is the most important characteristic for being a leader?

Sample Answer:

Regardless of the increasingly complicated relationships among modern people, honesty

is still regarded as the most cherished characteristic when it comes to evaluating others

around us. Therefore, it is not beyond our expectation that someone gives priority to

honesty when selecting a leader for a student organization. According to my preference

and experience, there are other two factors that are more worth noticing.

To begin with, the ability to plan and organize is the most essential characteristic for a

student leader for the sake of a smooth progress of the student affairs. In other words,

competent leaders are those with detailed plans and clear goals in their mind. Otherwise,

the whole group will easily get lost on the way and lose the impetus to strive for their

common goals. By making a detailed plan and carrying it out step by step, a group

leader is not only capable of pushing forward and complete the preset projects but also

able to keep the team members away from distrust and anxiety. For example, if a leader

of English Association is going to conduct an English speaking contest, he is required to

figure out the concrete process of a speaking contest, the cost related to the applied

facilities as well as the assignment for each individual in the group.

Besides, whether the candidate for the student leader masters the art of communication

is also worth noticing. It is no denying that the leader of a student organization is

exposed to various chances to interact with group members encompassing students of

distinct personality traits. Therefore

，

it is of paramount importance for the leader to be

possessed with the ability to relate well with others. More importantly, only by well

coordinating the relations among the team members can the student leader be capable

of ensuring the smooth progress of the organization. To illustrate, if conflicts arise

among team members during the process of crucial projects, the leader has the

obligation to properly settle the disagreement by skillfully calming them down with

maybe witty words and then take measures to cope with the problems.

Admittedly, it is indisputable that honesty should not be neglected in terms of choosing a

leader. After all, honesty has a lot to do with obtaining trust and creating a harmonious

atmosphere among the whole group. It is natural that people usually rely on an honest

person without reservation. Nevertheless, it is still not wise enough to regard it as the

most crucial factor in terms of choosing a leader for student organizations for honesty

does not testify to one?s ability and competence in dealing with group projects.

To sum up, taking the ability of planning and organizing as well as communication skills

into consideration, it is too rash to put honesty first when choosing a leader for student

organizations. (469words)

Whether the three methods to stop snakeheads from spreading is feasible.

Reading

：

The reading raises three methods to stop the spread of snakehead fish because it

threatens the ecosystem.

1. Making laws to prevent people from transporting snakehead fish. Some people in the

fish market will illegally transport or release unsold snakehead fish.

2. Educating fishers to catch snakehead. If they recognize that people actually can eat

snakehead as a food source, they will catch many to eat and to sell.

3. Researching some poison to kill the snakehead. Though poison will also kill native

fishes in the river, people can restock native fishes.

Listening:

The listening contradicts all methods proposed by the author of the passage and points

out their potential problems.

1. Even if people do not transport the snakehead, the spread will still continue. The

reason is that there are already many snakeheads, and these snakeheads will move to

other rivers even without human's efforts, because they can live and move on land as

long as they are moist.

2. Educating fishers to catch snakehead will not help stop the spread of snakehead.

Conversely, it may lead to the increase of snakehead. Because when fishers realize they

can make profit by catching snakehead, they will introduce snakehead to other water

bodies and raise snakehead in order to catch more snakehead, even this is illegal.

3. It is true that native fishes can be restocked; however, poison will also kill some

insects and micro organisms, which cannot be restocked. So, native fishes that feed on

these insects and micro organisms cannot grow to their original size. This is irreversible.

Sample Answer:

The reading passage and lecture both talk about how to stop the spread of snakeheads

and the professor contradicts all those method mentioned in the passage respectively.

The first solution is to make laws to prevent people from transporting snakehead fish,

according to the passage. However the professor gives opposite viewpoint that even if

people do not transport the snakeheads, the spread will still continue, because there are

already many snakeheads and they will move to other rivers by moving on land as long

as they are moist. In other words, whether people transport them or not, they will still

establish their population.

Secondly, the professor fights against to teach fishers to catch snakeheads. Actually,

when fishers realized that they can make profit by this way, they will introduce

snakehead to other water bodies and raise them in order to catch more, which may

conversely lead to the increase of snakehead.

As to the virus, professor also shows his strong disapproval. Even though the native

fishes can be restocked, the poison will kill some insects and micro organisms, which

cannot be restocked. Then there comes to an irreversible consequence that the native

fishes, which feed on these insects and micro organisms, cannot grow to their original

size.

As a student of university that has a long break between university semesters, the

university requires all students to do one of the following for one month during the break:

1

、

Students must take a course on the subject that has no direct connection to their

majors of study ( For example, a student majoring in engineering may take course in fine

arts or social science.)

2

、

Students must volunteer to work in the university

’

s city or their hometowns to

improve some aspects of life of the city or their own town.( For example, students may

help local primary school children with their homework.)

Which one do you think is more beneficial for students in their university? Why?

Given detailed examples and reasons. Use your OWN words, do NOT use memorized

examples.

Sample Answer:

There is large quantity of students who spend their spare time to do volunteer work

mainly as a consequence of the requirement of credit or some working experience. Still,

that totally makes no sense. Even though I am not a university students now, given the

choice, I would choose to learn some knowledge that different from my own major.

Wide range of social circle is the first benefit when they learn various subjects. All what

we do in the society like starting a business and fulfill the ambition in career depend on

abundant social resources. The social circle, which provides the greatest help in

promoting our work and life, needs to be set up when we are in the university. Various

classes are exactly the way that create chances for us to meet friends in various fields.

On the contrary, if restricted in own world, we get along with small range of friends who

share the same skills and knowledge. When we meet some

trouble in future career, it?s

merely impossible to cooperate with them. For the sake of future development, making

friends through this way is a great opportunity to expand our pool of companions.

Aside from making friends who are separate from our core social circle, another

advantage is that what we learn in other fields may have great contributions to our

original major. There is no such subject that can establish without any other field. I am a

sociological students, who were asked to learn some statistics that seems irrelevant but

actually, help me a lot when I do some social researches. I might not finish my thesis

before graduation if the professor had not ask us to take statistics courses. I really don?t

see anything wrong with the students taking the courses that have no connection with

their major whether they are truly interested in it or just for the sake of annual paper or

examinations.

Two years ago, I interviewed some of those students why they took volunteer work in

holidays, I found the leading reason was that they wanted to accumulate working

experiences. It sounds reasonable but actually, most students apply for the job that is far

away from what they did voluntarily before. According to a recent survey conducted by

my professor, who is a specialist in research of employment, no more than 7% involved

students choose their final job as what their social practice did and most of them have

totally different ideas from their original thoughts when they were in campus. Since the

working experience from volunteer has no business to their final career, what is the

rationale behind this choice?

There is nothing wrong with doing volunteer work in holiday. For the best future

development, though, learning different knowledge and skills is the better way to enrich

our life. (469 words)

The reading raises three unusual features of Titan, which are puzzling. The listening,

however, strongly insist that those features are explainable.

The first feature mentioned in the reading is its elliptical orbit which is different from the

common satellites whose orbit is circular. This phenomena is explained by the listening

which reminds us that there are other satellites which move around Titan. The nearby

satellites could exert influence on titan, hence leading to the elliptical phenomena.

As to the second point, it is believed in the reading that the usual feature of massive

depression, which should have been caused by volcanic eruption, but there is no volcano

on Titan. The listening pushes forward another theory that instead of being caused by

volcanic eruption and collision, the massive depression and crater formed as a result of

storm. The reading, therefore, is wrong again.

Lastly, the reading is of the view that the sand tunes near the Titan?s equator should be

in the same direction with the wind direction but the opposite is true. It is admitted in

the listening that the direction of sand tunes is originally in conformity to the wind

direction. What?s more, it is true that the top sand tunes point to the east, which is in a

reverse direction to the wind. But the truth is that under the influence of the storm, its

direction has been changed. As a result, the last phenomena is also explainable.

always critical about them. As far as I am concerned, the former is more favorable when

considering benefiting the whole group.

Primarily and undeniably, a higher working efficiency could be achieved if the group

members could comply with the whole group?s rules and targets. During the process of

accomplishing a project, team cooperation is of great significance, which could be

realized by the wholehearted dedication of all members with their divergence being

eliminated. Evidently, team cooperation is in direct proportion to the working efficiency

of the group. By contrast, if a group member, when assigned tasks, always goes against

the whole group?s progressing direction and working targets, a bunch of time will be

wasted. What?s worse, direct conflict may arise, which brings forth great obstacles

standing in the way before the project is started. It is due to such a disagreement within

the group that exerts side effects on the working efficiency.

Apart from working efficiency, another important benefit of choosing a compliant group

member is all team members will work with greater impetus. Compared with harmony,

disagreement never fail to fuel bias and possibly discrimination, hence creating a

negative state of mind. Under such circumstance, almost everyone loses the impetus and

motivation to struggle in the group, no matter how ambitious and aggressive they are

before. Just imagine, an English association is going to conduct an English speaking

contest. Every member of the group is allocated with certain assignment like purchasing

required necessities, site layout, selecting the contestants and so on, with the purpose of

guaranteeing the smooth progression of the contest. If someone of them refuses to

accept the assignment by arguing that things should be arranged in another way, it may

turn out to be great hazard to the morale of the group especially when others are in

agreement with the plans. Needless to say, morale is to a group what soul is to

humankind.

I tend to concede that some novel ideas and inspirations may turn out to be new blood

for the whole group, but that should not be an excuse for not obeying what the majority

of the members insist. Just as an old saying goes: the minority is subject to the majority.

Those bearing different considerations should put the collective in the first place.

From what has been discussed above, it is safe to draw the conclusion that a member

willing to do what other group members want is more favorable for a group, not only for

a higher working efficiency but also for a greater impetus.
