With the economic globalization becoming increasingly intensive, invention or innovation has become one of central topic around the world. Many countries see it as the key to develop their economy. Our government, with no exception, regard it as “ the soul of our nation.” What, however, can we benefit from it? First of all, invention or innovation can enhance overall national economy, which is important to heighten our nation status in the world. Additionally, if factories have the abilities in invention, the factories will be booming. As a result, they can provide our people with more jobs and it will make our nation more stable. What is more, a majority of new products may be avaible through invention. Therefore, it is also significant factor for improving our living standards. Owing to such benefits, no wonder more and more countries focus on invention today.
Recognizing its importance is only the fist step to advocate invetion or innovation, and some effective measures should be taken for it. For one thing, our authority should continue to enlarge the recruit of graduate. For another, the conditions of scientists and skilled workers should be further improved. Only in this way, can “the soul of our nation” be fully embodied and our nation have a brighter future.

Internet is becoming more and more popular in the world. As is shown in the pictures, two persons are sitting in front of their own computer in different places. they seem to be very happy owing to the accession to Internet. We can see clearly that the left fellow(guy) types a message and sends it to the right one, the message says:“David, would you have a coffee tonight?”the right one receives it and quickly replys:“sure,where?”What a convenient tool of Internet is! With the rapid development of high technologies and economy, people will get more and more benefits from the use of internet.(or: people will benefit a lot from Internet) There is no denying that COMPUTER NETWORK is an indication of social civilazation and progress. internet is an information pool , people can search anything they want by TYPING THE KEY words. For example, someone wants to know the Great Wall of China, what he/she need to do is only TO OPEN AN INTERNET EXPORER and TYPE the words:“the Great Wall”and search it, then he/she can get so many relevant links. What‘s more, people can purchase their favorite goods through the Internet instead of going shopping in CHAOTIC streets. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, people ALSO can MAKE FULL USE OF Internet to study ONLINE . From the ANALYSIS made above, we can come to (or REACH)a conclusion that we SHOULD make the BEST use of Internet, which CAN brings us a great deal of benefits. as a citizen of China we should study hard. Only in this way Can we have a brighter future and make our country flourishing(OR: PROSPEROUS)。
范文三(知识就是力量)
Knowledge Is Power Recently there has been a discussion regarding the issue of knowl- edge in the newspaper. As can be seen from the picture, knowledge is symbolized by a clenched fist as power. The fist sends out a message for “obedience”, threatening to crack with power any hard nut. The more demanding and challenging a task is, the more powerful the fist seems to grow. Similarly, knowledge, the strongest power for human beings, feeds up the field of science and technology. The more ad- vanced and developed a field is, the more profound knowledge seems to become. A specific example is the dunaping of Mir, Russia‘s space station. As is the case of the Russian space program, the country could no longer afford to keep Mir aloft in orbit because of lack Of financial support. Therefore, Rus- sia decided to dump the space station. The effect is both immediate and far -reaching. As far as the present is concerned, the successful launching and dumping of IVrLr has proved to the world that mankind, armed with pro- fca. md knowledge, cannot just build things but can operate them welt. For the distant impact, the once- in- a- lifetime success of/VFtr provides man with valuable and indispensable experience for manned space flight in the years to crane. Then, someday in the furore, them might appear in space more Mirs, visiting Mars, spreading friendship, parading the perfect maste- ry of knowledge. As to the best way to master knowledge, I suggest that everyone of us “ask not what others will learn from you, but what you can learn from the others.” By so doing, I sincerely believe each person, pro- tected by’ the “fist”, will be learned and knowledgeable.

From this cartoon, we can see that at the top end of the river, is a chemical factory and a paperrnaking factory which send out and poisonous wastes. And the river has been seriously polluted, n be seen from the color of it. Along this “black” river, there are a few people selling fresh water which must have been taken from far away places. At the first glance, it is very strange to us how can people sell wa- ter along the river, but this is the case, because the water in this river is undrinkable. This presents a serious social problem——environmental pollution. With the development of economy, our living standards have been greatly improved. But we can‘ t ignore the fact the air we take in and the water we drink today are not as fresh and clean as they used to be. Some kinds of pollution can even be deadly to people. It is high time that we took some measures to solve the problem. I think we can first call people’s attention to this problem so that they will be aware of the serious consequences of it. Then,we can pass certain laws to restrain the factories from sending out wastes. Finally, we can do more resarch work to find out ways to deal with the wastes.

Keep Square Clean, Tidy On Sunday, still on display on Tian‘ anmen Square were dozens of floats that were paraded along Chang’ an Avenue during the National Day celebrations. Thousands of people strolled on the narrow lanes be- tween the floats that fragmented the square, busily taking photos. Not far from the noisy crowds, yellow leaves fell nonchalantly from locust trees along the driveway, sending out the first signals of the coming autumn. But even if all the leaves fall, they still cannot cover the brown and black spots on the whitish stones in the huge square. Such stains of chewing gum, stale oil or some worse blemish have remained a constant pain for city cleaners since the square ‘was re- opened a few months ago after renovations to celebrate the 50th anni- versary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Few renovation project planners likely foresee this discouraging outcome. Originally, they merely intended to give the city a face- lift. The square was indeed impeccable when new: The-white terrazzo surface not only looks clean but it was made with materials that help prevent it from becoming slippery. However, as time goes by, the virtue becomes the vice: the sur- face attracts and accentuates dirt. As a result, China‘ s most high - profile site has to suffer the indignity of being paraded daily before the public in a humiliation state. While the tourists who litter should bear the bulk of the blame, the renovation designers should also have learned something: including the square’s sanitary maintenance issue into their consideration.

Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across CareerBuilder, a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site's personal search agent.It's an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position is posted in the database. Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property, and Washington, D.C. Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an opening. I struck gold, says Redmon, who E-mailed his resume to the employer and won a position as in-house counsel for a company.
With thousands of career-related sites on the Internet, finding promising openings can be time-consuming and inefficient. Search agents reduce the need for repeated visits to the databases. But although a search agent worked for Redmon, career experts see drawbacks. Narrowing your criteria, for example, may work against you: Every time you answer a question you eliminate a possibility. says one expert.
For any job search, you should start with a narrow concept—what you think you want to do—then broaden it. None of these programs do that, says another expert. There's no career counseling implicit in all of this. Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again. I would not rely on agents for finding everything that is added to a database that might interest me, says the author of a job-searching guide.
Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. When CareerSite's agent sends out messages to those who have signed up for its service, for example, it includes only three potential jobs—those it considers the best matches. There may be more matches in the database; job hunters will have to visit the site again to find them—and they do. On the day after we send our messages, we see a sharp increase in our traffic, says Seth Peets, vice president of marketing for CareerSite.
Even those who aren't hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. Some use them to keep a close watch on the demand for their line of work or gather information on compensation to arm themselves when negotiating for a raise. Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his agent at CareerBuilder. You always keep your eyes open, he says. Working with a personal search agent means having another set of eyes looking out for you.

第一段共六句话,中心句在第二句“He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site's ”personal search agent这里有一个句群,由第二、三、四、五句组成,即:He searched it……of an opening.其中第三、四、五句和第二句说的是同一个问题“personal search agent”,而且是补充和说明的。这样的句群只要掌握其主要句子的意思就可以啦,阅读时其他的补充说明的句子可以不看,这样整个这一段就变成了:Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across CareerBuilder,a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site's "personal search agent"."I struck gold," says Redmon,who E-mailed his resume to the employer and won a position as in-house counsel for a company.这样以来,整个这段文字的理解也简洁明了了许多,更神奇的是把画线部分的句子连起来理解的话,后面的41题的问题很容易就可以得出正确答案了。(详细下回谈技巧再说)
第二段中有个转折词“But”,前部分讲了搜索代理的优点“reduce the need for repeated visits to the databases”,但是紧接着“But”……career experts see drawbacks.在理解上,作者强调的是But后面的部分。接着,作者用两个专家的话“says one expert”,“says another expert”解释补充了drawbacks.(这里的第二段和第三段在逻辑上应该是一个整体,不应该分开成两段的。)同样这里也有个句群:But although a search agent worked for Redmon, career experts see drawbacks.……says one expert.……says another expert. “There's no career counseling implicit in all of this.。把这里当做一个句群理解话,42题的答案就迎刃而解了。
第三段的第三句又是一个转折词“Instead”,这里的转折是为了和前面的drawbacks相呼应的。这句话里有个标点符号“分号”,从分号的意义来看,其前后部分的意思应该是一致的,故可知the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database和when you get E-mail,consider it a reminder to check the database again意思相近,有了这样的认识后,43题的解答就相对容易多了,tip service= reminder!
第四段的中心句就是首句“Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return”,稍微理解一下后面的几句话,不难发现这后面几句都是说明补充这个中心句的,也就是一个句群。理解了句群的中心句,句群的意思也基本上就理解了。理解了句群的意思,至于其他句子具体是什么意思,根本就无所谓。反正整个句群就是在说中心句的内容“一些网络是如何让代理诱惑寻职者成为回头客的”,有了这样的认识,44题的答案你还会选错吗?
第五段和第四段一样,中心句很好找,就是第一句“Even those who aren't hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile.”同样稍微理解一下,就可以知道后面几句都是围绕这个中心句来补充说明的。也就是一个句群。同样也只要理解句群的中心句就可以啦。句群的那几个句子都在传递着中心句所表达信息:“即使非求职的人士也会发现搜索代理值得一览”。这样的话,45题你还会选错吗?
