【正文】 growing tendency among college students to get all kinds of certificates has now evolved into a craze. Just randomly ask a student what he or she is busily engaged in doing, quite possibly, you would get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind. So, why’s the craze?The reason behind this phenomenon is mon — the enormous pressure of finding a job. Faced with a harsh job market, most students have no choice but to seek more certificates to parlay their qualifications. Another factor is that diploma and certificates still weighs heavily in terms of signifying one’s ability. For the sake of increasing their odds of landing a better job, the students are pelled to run from one exam to another.Though I have an open mind toward the craze on certificates, I suggest that students should be more rational when it es to certificates, since they do not necessarily tell their ability. Instead, they should be more involved in learning and capability boosting, thus, opportunities would e quite naturally.文章點評：這是一篇“中等偏上”的學(xué)生作文。 本文先對學(xué)生的考證熱進(jìn)行簡介，引出全篇；接著分析這一現(xiàn)象背后的原因；整體看思路清晰，邏輯嚴(yán)密，行文流暢，句式多變，用語較為地道。提起證書熱的話，很多考生都會聯(lián)想到就業(yè)壓力，學(xué)校給予的壓力以及學(xué)生自身的需求；因此，全文可做如下安排；第一段，考生可以整體闡述一下該話題，陳述下目前存在的考證熱現(xiàn)象；第二段，考生可以對考證熱背后存在的各種各樣的目的進(jìn)行拓展；比如說由于日益嚴(yán)重的就業(yè)壓力，以及有的學(xué)校時不時給學(xué)生灌輸?shù)膲毫?；或者是學(xué)生自身從身邊感受到的一些壓力，都可能導(dǎo)致考證熱的產(chǎn)生?？傊?，我們大可不必刻意使用難詞難句，其實表意明確，用語地道的文章，就肯定可以拿到高分。根據(jù)原文But may have more to do with their ability to select the best 。s copies ready.解析：本題考的是文化場景，出現(xiàn)了copy 等詞，還是比較基礎(chǔ)的。注意對be put out with sb（對……生氣）的理解；文中女生首先對自己的遲到表示歉意并解釋原因；男生說不是大問題，但是你至少得打個電話給我。14.M: Sorry to have kept you waiting, Madam.

What is Tselana Travel planning to do, according to its founder?答案：D) Launch a new program of adventure trips.解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。 The way people travel和how we travel用到了同義替換。本文難詞不多，2個例子也以對話為主，所以難度適中。但A選項并不完整。文章中直接給出了they might speak up more often, express strong opinions and e up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues.排除其他選項。推斷選C，排除其他選項。A和C選項范圍大了，D選項范圍有小了。如果做題時沒做好筆記，關(guān)注好細(xì)節(jié)，很容易選錯。35.

Men and women in this country haven’t been fulfilling their traditional roles for some time now. And there seem to be fewer and fewer differences between the sexes. For instance, even though more women than men are still homemakers without paying jobs, women have been taking over more responsibility in the business world, earning higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that used to be exclusively male areas. At office meetings and in group discussions, they might speak up more often, express strong opinions and e up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues. Several days ago, my 23yearold daughter came to me with some important news. Not only had she found the highest paying job of her career, but she’d also accepted a date with the most charming men she’d ever met.“Really?”, I responded,” tell me about them.”“Receptionist in an attorney’s office and a welder at a construction site.” She answered in a matteroffact way. The interesting thing is my daughter’s date is the receptionist and my daughter is the welder. The old stereotypes of men’s and women’s work have been changing more quickly than ever before, except perhaps in my own marriage.“Who39。 旅游業(yè)興盛起來，那么相應(yīng)的旅行社等必然會采取措施，爭取吸引客戶獲得經(jīng)濟利益。人名、地名及職務(wù)名稱等聽過有個印象就好，不必過于糾結(jié)。s travel now39。re not getting any interest in the bank.
