Hence, the importance of a healthy environment to the well-being of all people provides yet other important reason to develop facility as 2 an intercultural communicator. From China to Central America, weather-related flooding events have resulted in defor

11、estation 3 that left many hillsides bare, causing rainfall to run quickly into rivers rather than being absorbed, thus leading to devastated 4 landslides and floods. In addition, as Schmidt suggested, an African drought may be partly responsible for a decline in Caribbean Sea coral because of coral-

12、damaging fungus found in 5 the dust blown across the ocean. Although nations are beginning to realize that they must work together to solve environmental problems, progress is slow and serious problems numerous. The environmental crisis produces the long and somber list of problems that touch all 6

13、cultures. Destruction of the rain forests, famine, the pollution of air and water, the growing list of endangered plants and animals, toxical dumping, and the greenhouse effect are just a 7 few of the many conundrums we all face to as we try to balance 8 population and the health of the planet. Yet

14、since almost everyone agrees that dire problems are 9 looming on the horizon, few want to be the first to give up their living standards. Nature, however, may in the long run have the upper hand. Recent predictions, for instance, suggest that the western portion of the United States may soon face a

15、severe water shortage because global warming could result in more rain and less snow, causing a depletion of the snowpacks that provide water during the hot, rainy summer months. 10 （分数：20.00）五、PART TRANSLATION(总题数：1，分数：12.50)1.诸位毕业同学：你们现在要离开母校了，我没有什么礼物送你们，只好送你们一句话罢。 这一句话是：“不要抛弃学问。”以前的功课也许有一大部分是为了这张

16、毕业文凭，不得已而做的，从今以后，你们可以依自己的心愿去自由研究了。趁现在年富力强的时候，努力做一种专门学问。少年是一去不复返的，等到精力衰时，要做学问也来不及了。即为吃饭计，学问决不会辜负人的。吃饭而不求学问，三年五年之后，你们都要被后来少年淘汰掉的。到那时再想做点学问来补救，恐怕已太晚了。 （分数：12.50）_六、PART WRITING(总题数：1，分数：16.50)2.题目要求：The recent tragedies involving small children dying from heat strokes after being left in cars have spar

17、ked online discussions. Should parents be held legally accountable for leaving their children in a car? Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the different opinions; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content re

18、levance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Ratfink (Australia) Penalties don“t always work in cases like this. From a humanitarian viewpoint, losing a child in such a tragic manner will cause a lifetime of

19、grief for the parents. However, there are times when a steep penalty is needed, in the case of wilful neglect for example. Ted (Canada) Here in Canada criminal charges are sometimes brought against negligent parents and they are sometimes convicted and sometimes imprisoned. This has been the case fo

20、r as long as I“ve been alive (72.5 years). Heir (The Philippines) No. The loss of a child is enough to bear. Instead, as a result of the first incidence of such an accidental death of a child, the government should instruct the mass media to educate all the parents by forewarning them of such possib

21、le tragedies. Also educate law enforcers to check parked vehicles for children inside and how to get them out even if they have to break the windshield or side door window to free a trapped child. Hail (Australia) Here in Australia we have accidents on farms from time to time where children are inju

22、red or killed. It is most often the case that the parents have been careless and this has resulted in their child“s death but there is no sense in getting angry at them about it. These types of accidents are a tragedy and often the parents are in more need of counseling than punishment. I do not thi

23、nk that parents that cause a tragic accident through being careless should be charged with manslaughter. Earthcitizen (the US) It“s about time parents were held more responsible for their lack of action. Too many times a child has drowned in a dam or at the beach, been run over in the driveway or on

24、 the road outside the house, been in a room many storeys up with insecure windows or left in the car to cook. Too many times people say “oh those poor parents“. We need to start saying “Where were the parents?“ There is NO EXCUSE for failed parenting. If I live in a property with water or dangerous

25、equipment I never let my children out of my sight. If I am at a beach or lake I never let my children out of my sight and this also applies to the park, my own yard, etc. Children and accidents happen easily, but when it is because of the failure of the parents, they need to be held responsible. Tea

26、m (France) I don“t believe any prison sentence could be more tortuous to a parent who has forgotten his/her child than his/her own conscience. I don“t think the threat of prison would deter any further instances of children dying in cars. Again, it is not an intentional act. People who had the misfo

27、rtune of leaving their child in the car most likely did not intend to harm their child. What is needed is a proactive measure. The technology exists to implement security sensors in the back seat of a vehicle that would sound an alarm once the car door is opened, indicating that there is something i

28、n the back seat of a cara package or a child. It can be as simple as a pressure sensor blanket installed under the fabric of the seat that activates as soon as it senses a measure of weightsay, that of a child. （分数：16.50）_专业八级分类模拟 379答案解析(总分：104.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、PART LISTENING COM(总题数：0，分数：0.00)二、SEC

Today we are goin

33、g to examine English as a global language. English has played the role as a global language for quite some time. Some theorists mention some characteristics of English as a global language i.e. the use of English has spread across the world and it has become the most preferable foreign language teac

34、hing. English has also been used widely in economic, political, and scientific fields as well as the main tool of communication in media such as ratio, television, newspaper, and even internet. This is not good news to all. For example, some argue that the global dominance of the English language is

35、 bad news for world literature. Why? Because if the English language dominates world publishing, very few translations will be commercially viable, except those from English to other languages. As a result, virtually only those writing in English will have a chance of reaching a world audience and a

36、chieving “classic status“. The outcome is clear: just as in the sciences, those who wish to reach a world audience will write in English. World literature will be an English literature and will be the poorer for itas if all music were written only for the cello. Having said that, we must understand

37、that the spread of globalization all over the world is unstoppable nowadays. Although the definition of globalization itself really depends on what perspectives someone may look at, its impact has infiltrated in some aspects of our life. Similarly, the spread of English as a global language has been

38、 an interesting issue on whether it will bring bad or good impact to the society. Like god has created everything in this world in pairs, for instance, men and women, night and day, badness and goodness, life and death, and so on. The impacts of English as a global language also come up with such na

39、ture, the positive and negative. In the next few minutes I am going to give a snapshot of both sides. First of all, the positive impacts of English as a global language. The existence of English as a global language has contributed positive impacts on some areas. In trade or business area, English i

40、s a medium of communication among businessmen throughout the world. Indonesian exporters, for example, who want to export their local products to another country, must negotiate with prospective importers by using common language, in this case, English. In academic communities, the use of English in

41、 lecture-rooms or lecture-conferences has commonly happened in international leveled-universities. A lecturer in Indonesia can deliver his/her lecture to students in Thailand by using English-teleconference. It might happen because of a global language and global technology. In addition, in English

42、Language Teaching (ELT), as a global language, English gives great opportunities to many English-speaking countries to promote ELT all over the world. As some experts point out, the spread of English use in most parts of the world contributes more benefits for English speaking countries. British cou

43、ncil, Indonesia Australia Language Foundation (IALF) are examples of institutions that carry out programs on English language teaching in Indonesia. These language institutions are considerably gaining profit by providing language training for Indonesians. They can make a lot of money from Language

44、teaching materials, such as TOEFL/IELTS preparation and any other English course. Now, let“s turn to the negative impacts of English as a global language. The question whether the spread of English leads globalization or the globalization has led English appears to be on-going debate. Obviously, the

45、 impact of English spread is undeniable. The negative impact is particularly for those who cannot use English as the tool of their communication. It is noted that a global language can cause “linguistic and communicative inequality“. We can see a good example of this inequality in the classroom. Whe

46、n we are teaching speaking skill to our students, we often find students who cannot speak English fluently tend to be quiet when we have them in discussion or other speaking activities. On the contrary, students who can speak English fluently tend to dominate the discussion. In a broader sense, for

47、example, in international conference, the English speaker delegation often take advantages of being able to speak English to impose their opinion on other delegation. For some level, a crucial decision for international purpose sometimes was made based on this dominant opinion. If so, the impact of

48、a global English is not only in linguistic and communicative inequality but also social inequality because a decision made in international conference is for the whole society“s purpose in the world. But practically, it is made by some people who own a dominant language. Furthermore, one linguistics

49、 expert notes that the impact of English as a global language encompasses “linguistic power, linguistic complacency, and linguistic death“. Linguistic power refers to those who have English as their first language will hold more power than those who speak English as their second or foreign language. He further gives an example that being English native speake
