Actually we have known a lot of examples and meaningful words to support the fact that we should try our best to ease the bad impression of others. Just like the old saying goes, we should give a better assumption to the one than we think he was. But many of us always fail to do this.

Take the situation of my class for example. Right at the beginning of the first semester when we were freshmen we all showed great favor to each other. And when there was an activity that needed some people to join, we would be willing to attend whether it was interesting or not. And we were really like brothers and sisters, and our class was just like a family, a warm family. But now, I feel tired of those meaningless activities not only because of the boring activities themselves but also the cool response of our classmates.

I think the reasons why the passion of most classmates is so low may be as follows:

To start with, many of us take part in more than one organization, which will certainly make us tired. Also, in the study fields, many of us may find that our courses are sometimes difficult to understand or comprehend, especially the specialized subjects. Moreover, “history” teaches us that if one does not study hard, it is possible to fail in the exams. So it is a big and good excuse to say that “I do really want to attend, but I have a lot of homework to do, so...”

Last but not least, some people believe that some of our leaders should not be regarded as a leader, maybe I should say we, as leaders, lost the reputation, support and trust of yours. At least I am the warm-hearted one, although I cannot promise you that your advice will be adopted surely, at least I will spare no effort to “give” you the right to be heard, and to serve you.

Be active to show your talents and abilities and to create a better image of our class. Most important of all, work painstakingly for a better condition that we should have reached.

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．Students’ passion for activities was high at first but disappeared gradually.

B．Students’ passion for activities grew gradually because they were interesting.

C．Students were too busy to take part in activities after their classes.

D．Students were unwilling to participate in activities because of their leaders.

2.We can infer from the passage that the writer must be ______.

A．a supporter of activities                  B．a responsible teacher

C．a top student in class                     D．a devoted class leader

3.The writer hopes that all the members of the class will ______.

A．develop better talents and skills            B．improve their abilities and creativity

C．work together to make a better class         D．adopt others’ advice patiently

高三英语书面表达中等难度题查看答案及解析

Let’s play a word game. What word can be put in front of the words “stick, maker and point” to make three new compound words? Ready for the answer? Match. Match will combine to make the words “match-stick, match-maker and match-point”. And the point of tasks like this is to measure creativity.

Maybe you have music playing as you think about the words. And, of course, many listen to music while they work. So Emma Threadgold, a cognitive psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire in England, and her colleagues recently used such word puzzles to investigate whether listening to music affects creativity. They asked volunteers to solve 19 puzzles, while listening to either a foreign-language tune, an instrumental version of the same song, a familiar English-language tune, or silence. In every case, volunteers listening to music solved fewer puzzles than their counterparts in total quiet, suggesting that background music does not really aid this kind of creative task. Besides, the researchers tested library noise as well, like the sounds of typing and rustling papers. None of those noises decreased volunteers’ performance at all, compared to the silent control group.

The results are in the journal Applied Cognitive Psychology. Still, if you do insist on listening to music while working, you might try something a little more low-key than Lady Gaga, says Threadgold’s colleague John Marsh. A sound with a lot of changes in state information or pitches is more disruptive (干扰的) than one with fewer of those changes. So if you compared a modern pop song with some classical music, you’d expect less disruption from that classical music, just as in actual silence.

1.What is the purpose of the word game mentioned in the passage?

A.To make fun with others. B.To test memory.

C.To evaluate creativity. D.To create new words.

2.Why can the volunteers in total quiet solve more puzzles?

A.Because they can concentrate on the problems.

B.Because other groups are not as clever as them.

C.Because other groups are into listening to music.

D.Because they are better at word puzzle games.

3.What can we infer from Emma Threadgold and her colleagues’ experiment?

A.Volunteers in library can do as well as the ones in quiet.

B.Library noises can affect the volunteers’ performance.

C.Sound has a negative influence on one’s creativity.

D.Those who listen to foreign songs perform worse.

4.If you do insist on listening to music while working, which one is the best?

A.Fast-paced songs. B.High-key songs.

C.Pop music. D.Classic music.

Centuries ago, influencing people on a large scale (规模) wasn’t easy for ordinary people. Word of mouth was really the only way to pass on information. Books had to be hand-copied, which took a lot of time and was expensive. When the printing press arrived, many more people could get reading materials. Go back to the present age of the, Internet and social media, anyone’s voice can be heard, and anyone’s face can be seen within seconds worldwide.

If you want to expand your incidence, online videos might be the answer. The online videos are very popular nowadays. Here are the facts: 432, 000 hours of videos are uploaded daily to YouTube. Sitting through all of them would take you 50 years! Also, the number of people watching YouTube has increased by 40 percent every year since 2014. It is said that by 2019, video traffic will be 80 percent of all Internet traffic.

In short, if you’re the kind of person that likes leaving your mark, consider becoming a YouTuber. YouTubers are people who often produce and appear in online videos. Perhaps you have thought that creating and posting videos online isn’t real work. Think again. Weng-ie, a Chinese-born Australian vlogger (博主) has more than 9 million followers. She struggles to be a success. It’s bridging that gap between making videos in your bedroom and actually building a media business.

Companies have offered her paid vacations so she could post photos online. She has to refuse several offers because she is too busy making videos.

Don’t feel like you have to be the next YouTube star in order to get started. Start small. Be patient. Have fun. A lot can be done with just your smart phone, your good idea and, most importantly you. What’s stopping you from using videos to influence the online world?

1.What does the underlined word “incidence” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.The number of videos. B.The extent of effect.

C.The business done online. D.The desire to be a vlogger.

2.How does the author mainly present the popularity of online videos?

Why we still need to read Dickens

Walk into any bookstore, and you can hardly avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens. Many of Dickens’ works still sell well today.1.

As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. 2. One day nearly 10 years ago, however, when I was giving a lecture, I was telling the students that for Victorian readers, Dickens’s writing was a “tune-in-next-week” type of thing that generated crazes. 3. “But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked. The answer I gave was only acceptable, “Because he teacher you how to think,” I said.

The question annoyed me for years, for years, and for years I told myself answers, but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn from our own experiences.

4. But these are not exactly the reason why I read Dickens. My search for an answer continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens’s novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, that’s the explanation I had sought for years.

Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and wrote of times. 5. If you have time, go to pick up one of his many novels, read it and enjoy what it has to tell you about yourself.

A.Then a hand shot up.

B.I know that wasn’t really the reason.

C.And they are placed on outstanding shelves.

D.That question was never more troubling.

E.That’s why we still need to read him today.

F.I already know who it is I’ll meet in those novels.

G.These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens.
