第1题
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition with the title of Living Expenditure of a Developed Country, analyzing changes in people's living expenditure of a developed country. You should write at least 150 words following the outline and chart given below.
1. 描述图表中生活费用支出的变化情况
2. 给出可能的原因
3. 得出你的结论
Living Expenditure of a Developed Country
Studying the table carefully, we can see in the past fifteen years, there have been great changes in people's living expenditure. Food is on the decline from 24.4% to 22.2%. It is also the case with clothes. But the money spent on medical care, energy, transportation and communication is on the rise.
The most important reason of this change is probably the improvement of people's living quality. When people become richer, they will spend less and less money on life's necessities such as food and clothes. Nevertheless, medical care costs people more and more money, because they pay more and more attention to personal health. The reason why fuel, light and water charges rise steadily is that the government lifts the prices so that people will make better use of energy resources. Last but not .the least, transportation and communication expenses have been increasing as economy develops.
To sum up, people's living quality is improving all the time--they cast their attention beyond life's necessities and upon various aspects of life.

That is, the subjects___42___to high-fear warnings brushed their teeth more___43____than did those who saw low-fear warnings. However, to be an effective persuasive device it is very important that the message not be too frightening and that people be given___44___guidelines to help them to reduce the cause of the fear.

2018年英语六级考试试题及答案 PartⅠWriting 1.【题干】For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of building trust between business and consumers. You can cite examples to illustrate your views. 150-200 words. 【答案】Without a doubt, a mutually-trusted relation between businesses and consumers is important for the two parties. First of all, though business is objective, cooperation is relatively subjective. Only when a consumer believe in what a businessman is selling, he or she could decide to buy something from the man. In reality, I have seen too many consumers purchase or refuse one commodity only because they like or dislike the salesman who they meet, especially when they are in a bad mood. Secondly, when one businessman consider that a customer trusts him, he would feel honored and satisfied thereby giving more preference to the customer. Naturally, when one businessman offers the best quality goods and the best prices to a customer, the customer has no excuse to refuse the businessman. Once such relation informed, both the two parties gain profit from it Hence, both businesses and consumers should work together to form a reciprocal relation. PartⅢReading Section A

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 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. In 1985 when a Japan Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its president, Yasumoto Takagi, called each victim’s family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. And in 1987, when a subsidiary of Toshiba sole sensitive military technology to the former Soviet Union, the chairman of Toshiba gave up his post. These executive actions, which Toshiba calls “the highest form of apology,”may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned after the JAL crash, which may have been caused by a faulty Boeing repair. The difference between the two business cultures centers around different definitions of delegation. While US executives give both responsibility and authority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authority—the responsibility is still theirs. Although the subsidiary that sold the sensitive technology to the Soviets had its own management, the Toshiba top executives said they “must take personal responsibility for not creating an atmosphere throughout the Toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable, even in an independently run subsidiary.” Such acceptance of community responsibility is not unique to businesses in Japan. School principals in Japan have resigned when their students committed major crimes after school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often accept primary responsibility in other ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a company gets into financial trouble. Such personal sacrifices, even if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of community and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japanese way of doing business. Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,”and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌输) of the Japanese sense of responsibility, If, for instance,
2019年小升初考试题及答案 1、选择一首古典七律或绝句想象一个小故事。 2、在 3、3、7、7四个数字间加入恰当的数学符号，使算式的计算结果等于24。 3、写出十本你所读过的中外文学名著，并选择自己喜欢的一本推荐给大家。 4、六年来你上过很多数学课，请描写一节你印象最深的数学课，并针对你所最熟悉的奥数内容进行介绍，同时，编两道此类内容的题，给出详细的解答过程。 参考答案 1、分析：这道题考点有三个，一是对古诗的记忆和理解能力，二是语言的综合运用能力，三是创新能力。 古诗是中国文化艺术的结晶，古诗严重的不仅仅是诗的本身，还有一个更严重的方面是古诗背后的文化背景和场景。古诗柔美的词句让人沉醉，而古诗的背景文化更能陶冶情操。十一学校正是认识到了古诗的严重性，从创造性的层面上考查学生对古诗的理解能力。既考查了学生对古诗的理解和掌握，又考查了学生的文学再创作能力。可谓一举双得。 解题技巧：诗歌内容简短，但寓意却很深刻。学生只有真正理解了诗歌的思想感情，才能编写出动人的故事。所以解答这道题最佳要选择自己比较熟悉的古诗，这个熟悉不仅是对诗歌本身，还要求对诗歌的创作背景和诗人所要表达的情怀也要很熟悉。选好详尽的诗歌之后，就要组织好思路和语言。简短，富有创造性的小故事会更吸引评委。 2、分析：这道题考察的学生的运算能力和观察能力。这样的题在奥数题中很多见。如何又快又准得把这样的题算好呢。这就要看平时下的功夫用多深了。这是面试时出的题，所以一定不能太慢，在些许吃紧的情况下要把这题算准，还要快，就要平时多练，练多了就自然成为反射，看到这样的题马上就有思路。
解题技巧：解答这样的题时有三大注意，首先千万不要心慌，不管这题你拿不拿手。二是，要拓宽思路，不要仅仅局限于“＋、－、×、÷”,还可以考虑用到括号。 三，在运算的过程中不要忽略分数，这有时就是解题的关键。还有一个前提：观察。首先观察所给数字的特点，然后根据数字的特点选择合适的符号来进行解答。这也是学校所要考察的一个方面。 可以以这道题为例，首先观察发现这几个数字通过简单的“＋、－、×、÷”是解答不出来的。并且3和7不论是谁除谁都不会得到整数，这样就考虑可以把3和7放在一起构造一个分数来运算。7×（3+3÷7）＝24就可以了。 3、分析：从题面看这是一个考察学生文学素养的题目。需要注意的是这道题不仅仅是重在题面所说的“读过的中外名著”，而还有一个重点是在于“推荐”给大家。考察的既是文学素养，也是口语表达。 与人大附中的试题相比，十一学校的试题更详尽，更有指向性，学生更好把握一些。从这里我们就可以看出两所学校所考察的侧重点有所不同。人大附中更重视学生的综合素质与能力（刘校长提倡素质教育）。而十一主要考察学生的实际知识水平。如上题，很明确考察的是学生的综合的语言文学水平。语文是初中乃至高中乃至大学里非常严重的一门学科，语文的基本素养，包括分析能力，概括能力是学习其他学科的必要工具，其严重性不言而喻。所以十一学校出了这样的一道题，即考察了学生的语言文学功底，又考察了学生的分析综合与逻辑思维能力。 解题技巧：1.在回答此类问题时，一定注意组织好语言。要简明扼要，一定避免毫无逻辑，没有顺序，冗长含糊没有中心的介绍（这是大忌）。 2.尽量展现出知识的丰盛，说出十本，尽量避免都是外文的或者都是中文的，最佳各占五本。尽量选择有把握进行梳理分析的书。还有一定要选择有深层次意义的书。 4、题型特点:数学的世界里有很多种不同的思想方法，而此类题目的特点是运用的归纳法分析过程:此类题目要求学生对整个知识网络了解的清撤、透彻。并且平时学习过程中要养成归纳总结的习惯才可以。
