B英语试卷二Part V Essay writing (15 points)参考作文Parents generally believe should they plan their children's careers, claiming they know their children well enough to decide what kind of job suits them. Many even tend to force their ideas of jobs on their children.However, many children believe they should be left free to choose their own careers. Firstly, parents and children may not share the same interests. Secondly, children grow up in an age different from their parents1. Therefore they should be allowed to choose for themselves.In my opinion, mutual understanding is important. On one hand, parents* view reflects their concern for children. On the other, it is the children who will be doing the job. Therefore, it is wise for parents to give them this freedom while children should consult their parents when necessary. (129 words)Judy:A.

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked Af B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneFor any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world*s greatest poet and dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of this great writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from his writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that *it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations1!Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English； Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare's day.13. It can be inferred from the first two sentences of the passage that.A. English people refused to la 汰 about great ShakespeareB. Shakespeare's fame as the greatest writer is not debatableC. it is not necessary to talk about Shakespeare's worksD. Shakespeare's name is so well-known among readers14. According to the passage, many English words and expressions we use today are fromA. EnglishmenC. Shakespeare's worksA. EnglishmenC. Shakespeare's worksB. English-speaking peopleD. Hamlet, the great tragedy18. By mentioning the number of words used in Shakespeare's works, this passage intends to illustrate Shakespeare*s.A. cleverness in wordsB. brilliance in languageC. persuasive abilityD. freedom of speechTo appreciate the richness of the English language,can read Shakespeare's plays.A. a foreignerB. an EnglishmanC. oneD. an English beginnerIn this passage the author mainly intends to.A. prove that English language has become variousB. tell that English words have undergone great changesC. indicate how much Englishmen love ShakespeareD. show how great a writer Shakespeare wasPassage TwoCurrently, the misuse of the internet exists, for instance, in modifying other people's bank account through the internet, stealing other's data and information through the internet, doing illegal commerce of drugs or arms, spreading pom, violence, or even cult through the internet. All these exert very bad influence on social stability and communal health.It is also true that, if a computer is connected with the internet, there is a possibility for it to be intruded into, however strong the anti-virus software and firewalls are. This explains why Microsoft and anti-virus software producers release security patches and virus-recognizing updates nearly every day. Though many people are struggling to reduce the damage of internet crimes, they still cause great damage and loss every year. For example, the notorious virus worm, Nimaya, which had been produced by a 20-year-old person in Wuhan of Central China, caused over 2 million computers to break down and incuiTed a loss of over 50 million dollars. The wizard producer made this virus just for around 15 thousand yuan. However, the effect of this virus and the loss caused by it are far beyond many people's imagination. Though the internet is good for us for the most part, it has some serious negative effect. In my opinion, it is the duty of our government to lay down relevant laws to prevent internet crimes and reinforce the proper use of the internet by young people.19. From the beginning of this passage, we can infer that if there is a paragraph previous to this passage, it is most probably on.A. how the internet is properly usedB. how the internet is developedC. how the internet is inventedD. how powerful the internet isAccording to the passage, Microsoft frequently releases security patches toA. to promote possible recurrence of safety problemsB. strengthen the functions of their softwareC. keep up with the latest software developmentD. prevent virus software from invading a computerThe twenty-year-old youth in Central China is said to be.A. very cleverB. really evilC. quite promisingD. abnormally powerfulAccording to the passage, the youth produced virus worm, Nimaya, forA. funB. moneyC. prizeD. powerThe author suggests that the government take up the responsibility of.A. defending the young regularlyB. giving guidance to the youngC. crushing down the crimesD. reducing the negative effectsPassage ThreeThe British people are great readers of newspapers. There are few homes to which one newspaper is not delivered every morning. Many households have two, or even three, newspapers every day. One newspaper may be delivered at the house, a member of the family may buy one at the station bookstall to read on the train as he goes to town, and someone else in the family may buy an evening newspaper later in the day.Daily papers are those that are published daily from Monday to Saturday. There are the morning papers and the evening papers. The morning papers are on sale in the morning. The evening papers begin to appear during the morning, and new editions appear every two or three hours until the final edition comes out in the evening.The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably The Times. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation for reliable news and serious comment on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions
