作文题目：翻译软件的使用

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the use of translation apps. You can start your essay with the sentence "The use of translation apps is becomging increasingly popular. " You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

【参考范文一：新东方版】

The use of translation apps is becoming increasingly popular. Why? Admittedly, in the contemporay society, an increasing number of people, with the help of translation apps, find it convenient to read foreign literature or essays.

On the one hand, these apps can bring users greater efficiency and help them save more time or energy, particularly for those who have no knowledge of a foreign language. For instance, a host of people may have a variety of difficulties or troubles in learning English, but with the assistance of these apps, it will not be difficult for them to read and understand English materials. On the other hand, it is these apps that cuase some learners to lose motivation for studying. With Apps in hand, they are not willing to do their utmost to memorize new words, pratice speaking or writing skills every day. Fianlly, they will fail to get a good command of any foreign language.

I, as a college student, deem that it is of great necessity for youngsters to use translations apps in a rational way. We should bear in mind that any translation app is merely a tool. Provided that one intends to master a foreign language, it is advisabel to practice each day instead of relying on translation apps.

译文

翻译APP的使用变得越来越普遍流行。为什么呢？不得不承认，在当今社会，在翻译APP的辅助下，越来越多人发现阅读外语文献或文章变得高效又方便。

一方面，这些APP能带给使用者更高的效率并帮助他们节约时间和精力，尤其是对于根本不懂一门外语的人而言。例如，很多人在学英语方面有各种困难或麻烦，但有了这些APP，他们读懂或理解英语资料将不是难事。另一方面，正是这些APP导致一些学习者失去了学习的动机。有了Apps，他们不愿尽全力每天背生词、练听和说的技能。最终，他们将无法掌握任何一门外语。

作为一名大学生，我认为年轻人很有必要以理性态度实用翻译Apps。我们应该牢记在心的是任何翻译APP也只是工具。假设一个人想要掌握一门外语，明智地做法是每天训练，而不是依赖翻译App。

【参考范文四：网络版】

The use of translation apps is becoming increasingly popular. Nowadays, more and more people start to use them in helping with translating whatever written in foreign languages in daily life. There has been a hit debate on whether the use of translation apps does good to us. As for this issue, I think it has both advantages and disadvantages.

On the one hand, the use of translation apps has greatly improved the efficiency of translating, saving time for us in a fast-paced working atmosphere, and especially helping those who are really not good at English. Once we see a new word or what we want to understand immediately, such as medical instruction or international news, we can solve our problem quickly with translation apps. However, on the other hand, the use of translation apps will result in our laziness. Many people rely on them so much that they don’t want to use their brains anymore. Besides, the preciseness of those apps still remains to be seen.

Given the factors above, we can draw the conclusion that every coin has two sides. As for those apps, we should make reasonable use of them. Only in this way can we maximize their benefits.

翻译应用程序的使用正变得越来越流行。现在，越来越多的人开始在日常生活中用它们来帮助翻译任何用外语写的东西。翻译应用软件是否有用一直是我们争论的焦点。对于这个问题，我认为有利也有弊。

一方面，翻译应用程序的使用大大提高了翻译的效率，为我们在快节奏的工作环境中节省了时间，特别是帮助了那些真正不擅长英语的人。一旦我们遇到一个新词或我们想立即理解的东西，例如医学指导或国际新闻，我们可以用翻译应用程序快速解决我们的问题。然而，另一方面，翻译应用程序的使用导致了我们的懒惰。很多人太依赖他们了，他们不想再动脑子了。此外，这些应用程序的精确性还有待观察。

考虑到上述因素，我们可以得出这样的结论：凡事都有两面性。至于那些应用程序，我们应该合理利用它们。只有这样，才能最充分地发挥其作用。

【参考范文五：沪江版】

On the Use of Translation Apps

The increasing popularity of using translation apps has aroused a heated discussion as to its benefits and drawbacks. Views on the topic vary greatly among people from different walks of life. Some believe that it is convenient for understanding foreign languages, but others believe that it does more harm than good.

On the one hand, using translation apps saves time. For example, when you are travelling in a foreign country and you don’t understand their language, using a translation app will help you to understand signs and to communicate with the locals. On the other hand, using translation apps too much may hinder one's second language acquisition, especially for students. Learning a new language requires hard work and patience. If students have easy access to translation apps, they will probably discard their own thinking and rely on the apps instead. 

From my perspective, it is always cheerful to enjoy the convenience brought by technology development. However, in terms of language acquisition, we should realize that we can’t depend on an app in any circumstances and forever. Therefore, it is of greater significance in the long run to acquire a second language on our own.

He said, "I looked at her and said, ‘I missed my graduation." The school's principal, Mr. Fausey, called Scott's mom Karen and said that everybody wants to do something special for him. Students wore their caps and gowns and sat in the front of the auditorium. Scott's parents, Karen and Scott Senior, sat front and center. After brief speeches, Scott's name was called, only Scott's name. He walked across the stage as the audience cheered. A graduation for one. "I'm speechless," Scott said.

长对话1：在家办公

Conversation 1

M：How do you like your new flexible work in arrangement? Do you enjoy working from home?

W：Yes and no, I find an isolation challenging at times, apart from my mother, not too many people I know, have time for phone chat during working hour. I tried the library but found I wasn’t really keen on working there.

M：No, neither would I. I find the library a bit too quiet. I’d lack inspiration or stimulation, which would be counter-productive to getting a lot of work done.

W：I found the same thing. So, lately, I’ve been going out to Cafes occasionally, I love the noise, the people, the busyness of a Café, the sense of being out in the world.

M: Coffee shops seem to have affectively become off spaces for so many people in this digital age. Though I’m not sure how Café owners feel about it - having so many people who go to that places to work rather than drink and eat.

W：Yes, some people seem to spend a lot of time there and not order much. The most annoying one for Café owners must truly be those, usually only two of them, who occupy a table for six with their laptops and paperwork.

M：They should sit at a table for two, not the table for six. Some obviously stay so long, they need to plug the laptops into a power adapter. I nearly tripped over someone’s computer electrical lead the other day in my local café.

W：It’s a double-edged sword, no doubt about that, for a Café owner. While remote workers help to keep the café full in quiet times, they can take up valuable table space and busy period.

8. What does the woman say is the disadvantage of working from home?

答案：I find an isolation challenging at times, apart from my mother, not too many people I know, have time for phone chat during working hour.

9. What does the man say is counter-productive to getting work done in the library?

答案：I find the library a bit too quiet. I’d lack inspiration or stimulation, which would be counter-productive to getting a lot of work done.

10. What does the woman like about doing one’s work in a café?

答案：I love the noise, the people, the busyness of a Café, the sense of being out in the world.

11. What is most annoying for café owners according to the woman?

答案：some people seem to spend a lot of time there and not order much. The most annoying one for Café owners must truly be those, usually only two of them, who occupy a table for six with their laptops and paperwork.

长对话2：离职

Conversation 2

W: I’m going to start working for another job. I can’t see myself getting an opportunity to progress on my company anytime in the near future. And I really think my skills and abilities deserve a higher salary.

M: You are not going to quit, are you?

W: I’m thinking I might as well. Then I can devote more time and energy to find me a better position at another company.

M: But you’ve been in your present company less than two years, haven’t you? This would be the third time you’ve left your job in the last five years. If you do several jobs in a relatively short span of time, perspective employers might see that you lack loyalty. That could make them worry and reluctant to employ you.

W: Unfortunately, loyalty doesn’t pay. Even if I get a promotion at my company, it’s likely to be less sizeable than if I were to get a job elsewhere. And even if I get a promotion, I’m not guaranteed to get a raise. I had that experience at another company I worked up.

M: They want you to take on more work and responsibility but for the same amount of money?

W: More or less, yes. The way I see it, through having different jobs, I’ve got a lot of experience, and different jobs and in different industries.

M: But potential employers might worry about that experience is not deep, or thorough enough.

W: Perhaps, but I feel pretty confident that I can sell myself. You know what they say, fortune favors the brave.

Q12: What makes the woman think about changing her job?

答案：I can’t see myself getting an opportunity to progress on my company anytime in the near future.

Q13: What does the man say about people who keep changing their jobs?

答案：If you do several jobs in a relatively short span of time, perspective employers might see that you lack loyalty. That could make them worry and reluctant to employ you.

Q14: What does the woman say would happen even if she got promoted in her current company? 答案：Even if I get a promotion at my company, it’s likely to be less sizeable than if I were to get a job elsewhere. And even if I get a promotion, I’m not guaranteed to get a raise.

Q15: What benefit has the woman gain from changing her jobs frequently?

答案：through having different jobs, I’ve got a lot of experience, and different jobs and in different industries.

听力篇章1：孤独感

Passage one

There is a saying that goes something along the lines of ‘You must love yourself first before you can love someone else.’ Similarly, I personally believe that you must be comfortable and happy in your own company before you can truly be yourself in the company of others. There is a massive difference between being lonely and being alone. Loneliness is a horrible feeling. However, you don’t have to actually be alone to feel that way. Many times, I’ve felt lonely when surrounded by a big group of people. In contrast, being alone can actually be a blessing, particularly, when you’ve actively chosen it. In my experience, being bored and alone is dangerous and can easily lead to the feeling of loneliness. The trick is to be active. Get outside, stretch your legs, do something cultural, buy yourself something tasty to eat or something pretty to wear. You don’t have to take anyone else into consideration and can do whatever you please. Spending time alone also allows you to more efficiently take care of problems. And then, when it’s time to be social and meet up with your friends, you will be fully there, because you won’t have too much other stuff floating around in your mind. Having been alone for a bit, you will also appreciate your friends’ company more and chances are your time spent together will be more worthwhile.

Question 16: What does the speaker say about being alone?

Question 17: What does the speaker say how to reduce one’s feeling of loneliness?

Question 18: What is an advantage of spending one’s time alone?

◆【新闻1】

1.Parts of Scotland covered by the orange alert to avoid travel on Wednesday

2.The head of road policing said, “I would urge drivers to take extra care on the roads for their journeys. Drivers should make sure they are prepared for their journey with warm clothing, food and drink, sufficient fuel and a charged mobile phone.”

◆【解读】

两题均为细节题，考察了动词原形的动宾短语，由于在选项形式上较为相似，增加了一定的难度。在预判和听音过程中，注意留心时态的转变，即“新闻事件发生后”尚未产生的动作（措施、建议、目的等），做题时应重点关注动词及宾语的搭配及动词的同义替换。此外，以上两题的动作发出者一为“people”，二为“drivers”，在预判时可通过选项中的关键词进行主语（信号词）的定位推断。

◆【新闻2】

3.Romania's wetlands are coming back to life, thanks to help from local communities, the World Wildlife Fund and funding from the European Union.

4. Government officials proposed to protect the area's endangered wild fish by issuing a fishing ban over the next decade.

◆【解读】

前一题为主旨题。听力新闻中但凡出现主旨题，定位均在前两句。在预判时，需要留意对比选项中各个不同的主语和专有名词，由于本题选项较长，且为完整句子，听音时要保证视听一致划词的精确度，同时避免由于World Wildlife Fund和European Union等专有名词在复现比例中的干扰。

第二题为细节题，此处的issue在理解或替换上可能稍有难度，注意预判时结合时态来定位。另外，decade一词在往年真题中出现过替换，要注意分辨。

◆【新闻3】

5. He was heartbroken after realizing he'd missed his high school graduation. It was just a month ago that East Juniata High School seniors met in the school's auditorium for graduation.

6. "I remember waking up in the hospital and asking mom, 'What day it was’

7. I'm speechless to know that so many people are behind me."

◆【解读】

第一题为主旨题，借助人称代词的定位，此题不难通过选项中的He和过去时态来猜测，提问为发生在男性身上过去的事，主要听男性出场时间。此外，选项中的high school graduation一词不容易出现替换，因而可以作为定位词。

第二题为细节题，选项均为疑问词开头，由于疑问词依旧不容易出现替换，此题听到疑问词即可定位，然后判断其余成分的对应关系。

第三题考查了同义替换，由于选项的各个成分差异较大，此题听到选项中任何一个成分，均可以直接验证剩余部分是否复现或有被替换。本体的难点在于对behind一词的理解。

▶选词填空

“Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated.” Those were the words uttered by pioneering British scientist Rosalind Franklin, who firmly believed that the pursuit of science should be (26) ______ to all.

As a woman working in the first half of the 20th century, Franklin’s contributions to some of the greatest scientific diScoveries of our time – including the structure of DNA – were sadly (27) ______ in her lifetime. One of my proudest moments in my role as universities and science minister was being able to go some way to redress this injustice last month, by unveiling the new Mars rover named after this brilliant British scientist.

Today, on International Women’s Day, it is only right that we recognise the important work of female scientists like Franklin and seek to honour her memory by inspiring more women and girls to follow in her footsteps.

More than 60 years after Franklin’s death, we are (28) ______ living in a different world, where women play an important part in every echelon of our society – not least in science, innovation, higher education and research.

UK universities are world leaders when it comes to advancing and (29) ______ gender equality. The Athena SWAN charter, initially established to improve the representation of women in scientific disciplines in higher education, now has 145 members. It has also expanded to promote gender equality in multiple disciplines – including the arts, social sciences, humanities, business and law.

In the past decade, we have seen a (30) ______ increase in England in the number of women accepted on to full-time undergraduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and maths (Stem subjects). And in the last academic year, women (31) ______ for more than half of all Stem postgraduates at UK universities. The government is taking further steps to improve women’s representation in science and has today awarded nine inspiring women £50,000 to develop inventions to tackle the challenges and seize the opportunities we face as a society. From new materials to cut down on plastics pollution to special devices to improve posture and comfort for wheelchair users, these women are at the forefront of creating the new technology for tomorrow.

This is significant progress, but access to higher education is only half of the equation. To have real equality in the sector, we need to ensure talented women are able to progress into the academic and leadership roles they desire, and get the remuneration they deserve.

Data shows us the (32) ______ to success gets harder for women to climb the further up they go. Although women make up the majority of undergraduates in our universities, just under half of academic staff are female. At (33) ______ levels, only a quarter of professors are women, and black women make up less than 2% of all female academic staff.

I welcome the introduction of pro-active strategies like the new initiative at the University of Leicester, which I am visiting today, to increase the number of female professors by 1.5% each year, with the overall goal of having 30% professorships held by women by 2020.

There are also stark differences in pay across grades. The gender pay gap based on median salaries across the sector in 2016-17 was 13.7%, (34) ______ there is still some way to go to ensure women are rising through the ranks to higher grade positions and being paid (35) ______.
