Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension(35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
The predictability of our mortality rates is something that has long puzzled social scientists. After all, there is no natural reason why 2,500 people should accidentally shoot themselves each year or why 7,000 should drown or 55,000 die in their cars. No one establishes a quota for each type of death. It just happens that they follow a consistent pattern year after year.
A few years ago a Canadian psychologist named Gerald Wilde became interested in this phenomenon. He noticed that mortality rates for violent and accidental deaths throughout the Western world have remained oddly static throughout the whole of the century, despite all the technological advances and increases in safety standards that have happened in that time. Wilde developed an intriguing theory called “risk homeostasis”. According to this theory, people instinctively live with a certain level of risk. When something is made safer, people will get around the measure in some way to reassert the original level of danger. If, for instance, they are required to wear seat belts, they will feel safer and thus will drive a little faster and a little more recklessly, thereby statistically canceling out the benefits that the seat belt confers. Other studies have shown that where an intersection is made safer, the accident rate invariably falls there but rises to a compensating level elsewhere along the same stretch of road. It appears, then, that we have an innate need for danger.
In all events, it is becoming clearer and clearer to scientists that the factors influencing our lifespan are far more subtle and complex than had been previously thought. It now appears that if you wish to live a long life, it isn’t simply a matter of adhering to certain precautions … eating the right foods, not smoking, driving with care. You must also have the right attitude. Scientists at the Duke University Medical Center made a 15-year study of 500 persons personalities and found, somewhat to their surprise, that people with a suspicious or mistrustful nature die prematurely far more often than people with a sunny disposition. Looking on the bright side, it seems, can add years to your life span.
11. What social scientists have long felt puzzled about is why .
A) the mortality rate can not be predicted
B) the death toll remained stable year after year
C) a quota for each type of death has not come into being
D) people lost their lives every year for this or that reason
12. In his research, Gerald Wilde finds that technological advances and increases in safety standards .
A) have helped solve the problem of so high death rate
B) have oddly accounted for mortality rates in the past century
C) have reduced mortality rates for violent and accidental deaths
D) have achieved no effect in bringing down the number of deaths
13. According to the theory of “risk homeostasis”, some traffic accidents result from .
A) our innate desire for risk
B) our fast and reckless driving
C) our ignorance of seat belt benefits
D) our instinctive interest in speeding
14. By saying “…statistically canceling out the benefits that the seat belt confers” (Para. 2),the author means .
A) wearing seat belts does not have any benefits from the statistic point of view
B) deaths from wearing seat belts are the same as those from not wearing them
C) deaths from other reasons counterbalance the benefits of wearing seat belts
D) wearing seat belts does not necessarily reduce deaths from traffic accidents
15. Which of the following may contribute to a longer life span?
A) Showing adequate trust instead of suspicion of others
B) Eating the food low in fat and driving with great care
C) Cultivating an optimistic personality and never losing heart
D) Looking on the bright side and developing a balanced level of risk
Passage Two
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
In California the regulators, the utilities and the governor all want the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to cap spot (現(xiàn)貨的) market prices. The Californians claim it will rein in outrageous prices. Federal regulators have refused. The battle is on.
Governor Gray Davis says,“I’m not happy with the Federal Regulatory Commission at all. They’re living in an ivory tower. If their bills were going up like the people in San Diego, they would know that this is a real problem in the real world.”
As part of deregulation, price caps were removed to allow for a free market. Timing is everything; natural gas prices had already skyrocketed. Demand was high from California’s booming economy. No new power plants had been built here in ten years, and power producers had the right to hike prices along with demand. And hike them they did.
Loretta Lynch of the Public Utilities Commission says,” This commission and all of California was beating down the door of federal regulators to say‘help us impose reasonable price caps to help to keep our market stable.”
Federal regulators did ask for longer-term contracts between power producers and the utilities to stabilize prices. The federal commission, unavailable for comment on this story, released a recent statement defending its position not to re-regulate.
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Dec. 15,2000: “The commissions intention is to enable the markets to catch up to current supply and demand problems and not to reintroduce command and control regulation that has helped to produce the current crisis.”
Some energy experts believe that, without temporary price caps, the crisis will continue.
Severin Borenstein of the U.C. Energy Institute says,“Some federal regulators have a blind commitment to making the market work and I think part of the problem is they really dont understand whats going on.”
Gary Ackerman of the Western Power Trading Forum says,“He’s dead wrong about that. The federal regulators understand far better than any individual state that, though it might be painful and it certainly is painful in California, price caps don’t work. They never work.”
16. The battle between Californians and federal regulators is about .
A) control over the price of power
B) necessity of removing price caps
C) hiking the energy prices in California
D) a regulation concerning power supply
17. Governor Gray Davis was dissatisfied with the Federal Regulatory Commission because .
A) they did not know what the real problem was
B) they were living an easy life in an ivory tower
C) they could not experience the life in San Diego
D) they turned a blind eye to the situation in California
18. The Federal Commission uncapped the energy price with the intention to .
A) help California’s economy booming steadily
B) prevent power price from going up any further
C) enable the market to deal with supply and demand problems
D) have contracts signed between power producers and the utilities
19. To help keep prices from going higher, people and groups in California .
A) imposed reasonable price caps
B) beat down the door of federal regulators
C) urged the federal authorities to take action
D) struggled against federal policy to hike prices
20. Energy experts against price caps believe that .
A) the present situation in California will continue unless there is price control
B) the current crisis is partly attributed to previous command and control policy
C) price caps can temporarily solve energy problems an individual state meets with
D) they do understand what is going on in California and will take proper measures
Passage Three
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Another cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about: space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surrounding his physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumps onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a person’s “comfort zone” depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other “at arms length”,people in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch each other often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while in conversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away.
When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. To Americans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement or disgust, shock or sadness. People with a “poker face”, whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate their attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely and maintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesn’t look you in the eye, American might say, you should question his motives—or assume that he doesn’t like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still consider staring—especially at strangers—to be rude.
21. What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about .
A) classification of nonverbal communication
B) the reasons why people should think about space
C) the relationship between communication and space
D) some other cultural aspects of nonverbal communication
22. How far people keep to each other while talking is closely associated with their .
A) origin B) culture C) custom D) nationality
23. When an Italian talks to an Arabian on informal occasions,.
A) he stands about four feet away
B) “comfort zone” does not exist
C) keeping close enough is preferred
D) communication barriers may emerge
24. A “poker face” (Line 3,Para. 2) refers to a face which is .
A) attentive B) emotional C) suspicious D) expressionless
25. In a conversation between friends, Americans regard it as sincere and truthful to .
A) maintain direct eye contact
B) hide emotions with a deadpan expression
C) display excitement or disgust, shock or sadness
D) raise their eyebrows,nod and smile politely
Passage Four
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
We all know that DNA has the ability to identify individuals but, because it is inherited, there are also regions of the DNA strand which can relate an individual to his or her family (immediate and extended), tribal group and even an entire population. Molecular Genealogy (宗譜學(xué)) can use this unique identification provided by the genetic markers to link people together into family trees. Pedigrees (家譜) based on such genetic markers can mean a breakthrough for family trees where information is incomplete or missing due to adoption, illegitimacy or lack of records. There are many communities and populations which have lost precious records due to tragic events such as the fire in the Irish courts during Civil War in 1921 or American slaves for whom many records were never kept in the first place.
The main objective of the Molecular Genealogy Research Group is to build a database containing over 100,000 DNA samples from individuals all over the world. These individuals will have provided a pedigree chart of at least four generations and a small blood sample. Once the database has enough samples to represent the world genetic make-up, it will eventually help in solving many issues regarding genealogies that could not be done by relying only on traditional written records. Theoretically, any individual will someday be able to trace his or her family origins through this database.
In the meantime, as the database is being created, molecular genealogy can already verify possible or suspected relationships between individuals. “For example, if two men sharing the same last name believe that they are related, but no written record proves this relationship, we can verify this possibility by collecting a sample of DNA from both and looking for common markers (in this case we can look primarily at the Y chromosome (染色體)),” explains Ugo A. Perego, a member of the BYU Molecular Genealogy research team.

27. The possible research of family trees is based on the fact that .
A) genetics has achieved a breakthrough
B) genetic information contained in DNA can be revealed now
C) each individual carries a unique record of who he is and how he is related to others
D) we can use DNA to prove how distant an individual is to a family, a group or a population
28. The Molecular Genealogy Research Group is building a database for the purpose of .
A) offering assistance in working out genealogy-related problems
B) solving many issues without relying on traditional written records
C) providing a pedigree chart of at least four generations in the world
D) confirming the assumption that all individuals are of the same origin
29. If two men suspected for some reason they have a common ancestor, .
A) we can decide according to their family tree
B) we can find the truth from their genetic markers
C) we can compare the differences in their Y chromosome
D) we can look for written records to prove their relationship
30. Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the passage?
A) We are a walking,living,breathing record of our ancestors
B) Many American slaves did not know who their ancestors were.
C) An adopted child generally lacks enough information to prove his identity.
D) Molecular genealogy can be used to prove a relationship between individuals.

Passage One
這是一篇人文類說明文,。
第一段中作者提出長期困擾社會科學(xué)家的問題,，即死亡率遵循一種一成不變的模式。在第二段中作者引用加拿大心理學(xué)家Gerald Wilde的risk homeostasis（體內(nèi)風(fēng)險平衡）理論分析了原因，并以交通事故為例,，指出如果駕駛時系了安全帶,，這方面原因?qū)е碌能嚨湑档停硪环矫骜{車人因為感到安全可能會開快車,，開魯莽車,，從而發(fā)生死亡事故。第三段討論了影響壽命的因素,，文中提到,，保持長壽，不僅要注意飲食,、不抽煙,、謹(jǐn)慎駕駛，更要有樂觀的生活態(tài)度,。
11. B) 語義理解題 問的是長期困擾社會科學(xué)家的問題是什么,，本題依據(jù)是第一段最后一句“It just happens that they follow a consistent pattern year after year”，與選項B)“死亡人數(shù)年復(fù)一年保持穩(wěn)定”相吻合,。
12. D) 細(xì)節(jié)推論題 本題題干出現(xiàn)在第二段第二句,，意思說：雖然有技術(shù)進(jìn)步和安全標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的提高，西方世界的暴力和意外死亡率在整個世紀(jì)中保持著奇怪的恒定（static）,，由此判斷,，技術(shù)進(jìn)步和安全標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的提高并未降低各種原因的死亡人數(shù)，D項正確,。
13. A) 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 問題是“根據(jù)體內(nèi)風(fēng)險平衡理論,，某些交通事故是由于什么原因”，A)“我們天生的冒險欲望”,；B)“開快車,，開魯莽車”；C)“無視安全帶的好處”,；D)“對超速行駛的本能興趣”。在第二段靠后,，作者先列舉交通事故例子,，然后在最后一句得出結(jié)論：It appears, then, that we have an innate need for danger. 符合A項意思。
14. C) 句意理解題 本句大體意思是：從數(shù)字統(tǒng)計的角度說,，（開快車開魯莽車導(dǎo)致的死亡人數(shù)的增加）抵消了系保險帶（引起的死亡人數(shù)減少）的好處,。cancel out解釋為“抵消，對消”,。所以C項“因為其他原因引起的死亡對消了系保險帶的好處”符合題意,。A和D都包含系保險帶沒有好處，不對，系保險帶有benefits,，會降低這方面原因?qū)е碌乃劳鍪鹿?。B)“系安全帶與不系安全帶的死亡人數(shù)一樣”，無此意,。
15. C) 語義理解題 問什么有助于長壽,，依據(jù)最后一段。A)“對別人信任不要懷疑”,，不對,，倒數(shù)第二句是說疑惑心重的人比樂觀豁達(dá)的人早逝；B項不對,，文中說“eating the right foods”,，并不等于低脂食物；C項正確,，“an optimistic personality and never losing heart”都是“a sunny disposition”的特征,；D項后半部分不對。
Passage Two
這是一篇新聞報道類議論文,。
文章報道了美國加州就是否對能源價格進(jìn)行控制這一問題進(jìn)行的辯論,，一方面，加州管理者,、公用事業(yè)公司和州長都強烈要求對加州的能源價格實施限制,，另一方面，聯(lián)邦能源管理委員會堅決反對,，認(rèn)為以前取消價格限制的目的是為了讓市場來調(diào)節(jié)供求,，不會再人為干預(yù)價格（not to re-regulate）。文中許多地方采用直接引語,，反映各自觀點,。
16. A) 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 題目是“加州人和聯(lián)邦管理者之間的斗爭是關(guān)于什么”，依據(jù)第一段,，加州人要求“to cap spot market prices(控制現(xiàn)貨市場價格)”,，但聯(lián)邦管理者拒絕了，A項正確,；B)“取消價格控制的必要性”,；C)“提高加州的能源價格”；D)“對電力供應(yīng)的調(diào)節(jié)”,，均與第一段不符,。
17. D) 語義理解題 題干中的“dissatisfied with”與第二段中的“not happy with”是一致的，第二段字面理解為“他們生活在象牙塔中,，如果他們的支付賬單像圣第亞哥的人那樣不斷增加,，他們就會理解這確實是個問題”,，Gray Davis州長并非真的說聯(lián)邦管理者生活優(yōu)越或者不了解加州的問題（文章最后一段提及他們知道情況），而是說他們對加州的問題熟視無睹,，不愿采取措施,。
18. C) 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 本題題干對應(yīng)第三段第一句，以前取消價格控制的目的是“to allow for a free market”,，“free market”的含義在第六段進(jìn)一步闡述為“to enable the markets to catch up to current supply and demand problems(讓市場來解決目前的供求問題)”,，所以答案為C。
19. C) 細(xì)節(jié)判斷題 題干“為了有助于抑制價格的進(jìn)一步上漲,，加州的個人和團(tuán)體干什么”,，從全文特別是第一段可以判斷，他們敦促聯(lián)邦當(dāng)局采取措施,，C項正確,。A)“實施合理的價格控制”，是要求政府做而不是他們自己做,，不對,；B)“敲打聯(lián)邦管理者的門”，文中是比喻說法,，并非真的敲門,；D)“與政府提高價格的政策進(jìn)行斗爭”，與文章不符,。
20. B) 觀點判斷題 問的是反對價格控制的專家們的觀點,。A)“除非有價格控制，否則加州目前的局面將會繼續(xù)”,，這是贊成價格控制者的觀點,，不對；B)“目前的危機(jī)部分歸咎于以前指令控制政策”,，正確,，依據(jù)是第六段“command and control regulation that has helped to produce the current crisis”；C)“價格控制只能暫時解決一個州的能源問題”,，不對,，文章在最后一段最后一句說“They never work”；D項中后半句“將采取措施”,，與原文不符,。
Passage Three
這是一篇關(guān)于非言語交際的說明文。
本文在第一段談及非言語交際的另外一種因素,，即距離,。文章提到,，美國人在非正式場合交流時,，一般保持“臂長的距離”,，拉丁或阿拉伯文化背景的人則靠得較近，甚至常?；ハ嘤|摸,。第二段討論了言語交際時表情的使用，美國人把“保持眼神接觸”看作是“真誠和誠實”的表示,，但同時指出盯著陌生人看被認(rèn)為是粗魯?shù)摹?br>
21.D) 推論題 題目的意思是：在先前的章節(jié)中作者最有可能討論了什么,。依據(jù)文章的第一句選擇答案：“非言語交際的另外一個文化方面是你可能想不到的：交際距離”，既然是另外一個文化方面（another cultural aspect）,，說明在前面章節(jié)中討論了其他的文化方面,，所以本題答案是D。
22. B) 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 問的是“人們談話時彼此保持的距離與什么密切相關(guān)”,，參看第一段第五句“But the size of a person’s ‘comfort zone’ depends on his cultural ethnic origin.（一個人“舒服距離”的大小取決于他的來自什么民族文化）”,，“cultural ethnic origin”連在一起理解為來自什么民族文化，而不是指A)“出生,；起源”,；C)“習(xí)俗”；D)“國籍”,。
23. C) 細(xì)節(jié)推斷題 題目要求判斷意大利人與阿拉伯人在非正式交流時的情況,。第一段倒數(shù)第二句提到“拉丁或阿拉伯文化背景的人靠得非常近，甚至常?；ハ嘤|摸”,。意大利屬于拉丁文化，所以C)“喜歡保持較近的距離”符合句意,。
24. D) 詞匯理解題 a “poker face”后的定語從句“whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan expression（其情感被沒有表情所掩蓋）”,，但deadpan可能是生詞，那就退回去看上一句：美國人為了表示強調(diào)會顯示出各種表情,，本句應(yīng)該理解為“那么什么樣的人會招致懷疑”,，應(yīng)該是沒有表情，答案為D項,。
25. A) 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 第二段提到“Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening,Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty”,“genuineness and honesty”與題干中的“sincere and truthful”是同義,，答案是A。
Passage Four
這是一篇科普類說明文,。
文章提到,，DNA可以用來識別個人身份。宗譜學(xué)利用遺傳標(biāo)記所提供的獨有識別特征將人連成家族樹,。對于家族信息缺失的人來說,，通過研究他們的遺傳標(biāo)記，可以使他們的家譜研究取得突破,。宗譜學(xué)研究小組（the Molecular Genealogy Research Group）建立一個由10萬基因樣本組成的數(shù)據(jù)庫,，其最終目的是幫助解決僅靠傳統(tǒng)文字資料不能完全解決的有關(guān)宗譜的問題,。
26.B) 單句理解推斷題 題干的意思是對第一句中“there are also regions of the DNA strand（也有一些區(qū)域具有同樣的DNA線索）”的改寫，原因就是前面提到的“because it is inherited（DNA具有遺傳性）”,，既然是遺傳,，那么可以推斷出具有同樣DNA特征的人必定有同樣的祖先。比較四個選項,，B符合這樣的意思,。
27. C) 語義理解推斷題 基于第一段第二、三句,，我們知道遺傳標(biāo)記提供獨有的識別特征（unique identification）把人們連接在一起,，形成家族樹。換句話說,，能對家族樹進(jìn)行研究,，是因為遺傳標(biāo)記的獨有特征可以用來判斷一個人的基因身份以及與他人之間的關(guān)系，C項正確,。A)“遺傳學(xué)取得突破”和B)“包含在DNA中的基因信息現(xiàn)在可以揭示出來”沒有回答進(jìn)行家族樹研究依據(jù)什么基礎(chǔ)這樣的問題,；而D項強調(diào)“用DNA證明有多遠(yuǎn)（how distant）”與文章相孛。
28. A) 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 題干問的是建數(shù)據(jù)庫的目的,，對照第二段中“help in solving many issues regarding genealogies that could not be done by relying only…(有助于解決僅靠…不能解決的宗譜有關(guān)的許多問題)”,。四個選項：A)“解決宗譜有關(guān)的問題時提供幫助”，正確,；B)“無須依賴傳統(tǒng)文字資料解決許多問題”,；C)“提供代表世界基因構(gòu)成的家譜樹”；D)“獲得10萬份世界各地個人DNA樣本”均不正確,。
29. B) 細(xì)節(jié)推斷題 題干的表述相當(dāng)于第三段第二句的“if two men sharing the same last name believe that they are related”,，做題依據(jù)是本句的后半句“we can verify this possibility by collecting a sample of DNA from both and looking for common markers(通過采集兩個人的DNA樣本尋找共同的遺傳標(biāo)記來確定這種可能性)”，B項符合,。C)“比較他們Y染色體的不同”,，并非要強調(diào)不同，錯誤,。
30. C) 篇章推斷題 A)“我們的方方面面記錄著我們的祖先”,，可以推斷，因為DNA具有遺傳特性,；B)“許多美國黑奴不知道他們的祖先”,，正確，依據(jù)是第一段最后一句,；C)“收養(yǎng)的孩子或者孤兒與他們的家族樹沒有關(guān)系”,，不正確，因為他們與家族樹的關(guān)系是基因特征而不是其他因素決定的,；D)“宗譜學(xué)能用來證明人與人之間的關(guān)系”,，識別和證明人的身份關(guān)系是宗譜學(xué)的目的,，正確。

Part ⅣCloze
本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了食物銀行的概念,、它的運作方式以及除了食品外食品銀行其他方面的情況,。文章最后提到，應(yīng)該“通過立法確保國內(nèi)饑餓問題不要迷失于經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮的陰影中”,。
61. C) 根據(jù)句意,，“食品銀行”的食物來自于什么地方，C項正確,。result from表示“因為,，由于”，意思不妥,。
62. A) give away此處解釋為“送掉,，贈送”，A項正確,。give out“公布,，發(fā)表；用完”,；give over“移交,；停止（做某事）”；give off“發(fā)出（氣味,、信號等）”,。
63. B)項正確。前半句意思是“食品銀行實行復(fù)雜而先進(jìn)的倉儲式運作”,，后半句是定語從句,，由where引導(dǎo)，相當(dāng)于during which,。
64. D)根據(jù)前后動詞的意義確定該題選項,，前面是“收集食品”，后面是“再分發(fā)食品”,，中間應(yīng)該取sort“對食品進(jìn)行分類”,，而不是process“對食品加工”，D項正確,。
65. B)下文提到通過機(jī)構(gòu)網(wǎng)絡(luò)提供服務(wù),，而不是直接發(fā)送食品，選B,。
66. A)those in need意為“窮人”,，符合上下文意思，A項正確。
67. C)前半句為否定,，后半句是肯定,，中間用instead連接。C項正確,。
68. D)an extensive network意為“龐大的網(wǎng)絡(luò)”,，D項正確。
69. B)根據(jù)句意,，各個機(jī)構(gòu)服務(wù)各自的社區(qū),，應(yīng)選respective。
70. D)參照上一句,，community正確,。
71. A)從上下文意思判斷，此處表示結(jié)果（therefore）,，而不是轉(zhuǎn)折（nevertheless）,，讓步（still）或?qū)Ρ龋╟onversely），A正確,。
72. C) a number of后接復(fù)數(shù)名詞,，a quantity of雖然也表示“大量”，一般不用于指人,，如a quantity of meat,a quantity of vegetables,，C項正確。
73. B)下文提到食品銀行還經(jīng)營兒童快餐和社區(qū)農(nóng)業(yè)項目,，所以本題選other,。
74. D) range from…to…是固定搭配：“從…到…不等；涉及從…到…”,。
75. A)兒童快餐是課外食品供應(yīng)項目的一部分,，A項正確。
76. C)raise funds是詞組,，意為“籌集資金”,。
77. B)項正確，注意句末關(guān)鍵詞hungry,，所以用feed“提供食物”,。
78. C)參看逗號前a hunger advocate“主張存在饑餓現(xiàn)象者”，后面應(yīng)該是對饑餓現(xiàn)象的研究,，選C,。
79. A)本處的意思為“國內(nèi)饑餓現(xiàn)象這一問題”，應(yīng)選issue,，A項正確,。
80. D)economic boom“經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮”,，形容詞作定語。
Part ⅤWriting
寫作提示：本文要求寫一封貸款信,。理由要充分,，對學(xué)生來說，由于家庭困難而無法支付學(xué)費是不錯的話題,。在行文時需注意句子結(jié)構(gòu)的變化,，簡單句,、并列句和復(fù)雜句盡可能交叉使用,。在涉及詞語的使用時，注意有意識的變化,，比如“主修”可以表述為“major in”或“specialize in”,；“學(xué)費”可以用expenses、tuition,、fees等等,；“經(jīng)濟(jì)困難”使用“financial burden/pressure/difficulties”。

A Letter Applying for a Bank Loan
Mar. 1
Dear Sir/Madame,
I am a sophomore in Shanghai University, majoring in computer software. In the previous one and a half years I have been a model student and monitor of my class.
However, since I registered here, the expenses have become a burden for my average family. You know, my parents are both laid－off workers, and, to make matters worse, my mother has suddenly fallen ill and is expecting a major operation. It will be beyond their ability to finance me through my remaining education. It is now a must for me to help relieve their financial pressure. So I’m applying to your bank for a loan of 10,000 yuan. If my application is approved, all the money will go to my tuition and fees for the coming academic years.
I’ve made a detailed plan to arrange my school life. A part-time job as a family tutor will not be difficult to find and some work-study programs for students like me are also provided in our university. From these sources I will be able to earn more than enough to support myself. I guarantee that I will repay the loan within five years, that is, within two years after my graduation. Please have confidence in me: I have a very good credit record.
I would be greatly obliged if my application is granted. Many thanks.
Yours sincerely,
Liuliu
