A. equality B. justice C. regulation D. liberation

點睛:can的基本用法:1. (表示能力、功能)能,會;2. (表示推測)可能,可能會;3.(表示允許,請求)可以;4.(表示客觀可能性)有時會。

【答案】D
【解析】
【詳解】考查同位語從句。句意:70周年大閱兵向世界證明了這個事實,中國在過去的二十年里取得了巨大的進步。分析句子成分可知,設(shè)空后的句子是對the fact的解釋說明,是同位語從句,從句成分齊全,應(yīng)使用只起引導(dǎo)作用、無句意的關(guān)系詞that引導(dǎo)。故選D。
【點睛】1.同位語從句通常對前面的名詞起補充解釋作用,兩者之間是同位關(guān)系;而定語從句是用來說明先行詞的性質(zhì)或特征,起修飾或限制作用,兩者之間是修飾與被修飾的關(guān)系。例如:同位語從句——The fact that there no lives on the Mars is known to all of us.眾所周知,火星上沒有生命。
定語從句——The news that you read is uncertain.你讀到的那則新聞是不確定的。
2.在同位語從句中,that是從屬連詞,在句中只起到引導(dǎo)作用,沒有具體的意義,且不做任何成分,但不能省略,也不可用which代替;而在定語從句中,that是關(guān)系代詞,它在從句中不但起連接作用,還在句中做主語、賓語或表語。做賓語時可省略,指物時還可以用which代替,指人時??梢杂脀ho代替。例如:同位語從句——The requirement that we should obey the school rules is known to us.遵守校規(guī)這個要求我們都清楚。
定語從句——Those school rules (that) the headmaster put forward is known to us.校長提出的這些校規(guī)大家都清楚。
3. 當when/why/where/how等引導(dǎo)同位語從句時,它們?yōu)檫B接副詞,雖在句子中充當句子成分,但前面沒有與其意義相同的先行詞;而在定語從句中when/why/where/為關(guān)系副詞,在其前面分別有表示時間、原因、地點的名詞作先行詞。例如:同位語從句——They raised the question where they would get the books.他提出了我們到哪里去拿書的問題。
定語從句——That's the reason why she failed this exam.那就是他考試失敗的原因。
10.Yesterday, Jane walked away from the heated discussion. Otherwise, she _____ something arbitrary that she would regret forever.
A. must have said B. said C. might say D. might have said
【答案】D
【解析】
【詳解】考查虛擬語氣。句意:昨天Jane離開了那場熱烈的討論,否則她可能會說一些讓她永遠遺憾的武斷的話。otherwise在此相當于if she had not walked away from the discussion,即暗示一個與過去事實相反的虛擬條件句,所以主句要用should/would/could/might+have done。故選D。
11.When asked about that horrible experience, Sue told me that so ______ in the darkness at that time that she didn't dare to move an inch.
A. she was scared B. was she scared C. scared she was D. scared was she
【答案】D
【解析】
【詳解】考查倒裝句。句意:當被問起那可怕的經(jīng)歷,Sue告訴我黑暗中她特別害怕,以至于不敢移動。so+adj. / adv.位于句首時,其后的句子用部分倒裝。故選D。
12.As is often the case, there are always some barriers in the way, something _____ before we realize the real goal of our life.
A. to be got through B. got through C. getting through D. having been got through
【答案】A
【解析】
【詳解】考查非謂語動詞。句意:通常情況下,在我們實現(xiàn)生活真正的目標前,我們的道路上會有一些必須要通過的障礙。本句是不定式作定語,修飾不定代詞something,表示即將發(fā)生的事情,且形成被動關(guān)系,要用to be done結(jié)構(gòu)。故選A。
13.The sharpest earthquake and the suffering _____brought about have had a lasting effect on the local people's life ever since.
A it B. which C. what D. that
【答案】A
【解析】
【詳解】考查代詞。句意:這劇烈的地震和它帶來的苦難,對當?shù)厝嗣裆顜砹饲八从械某掷m(xù)影響。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處與brought about構(gòu)成定語從句,修飾The sharpest earthquake and the suffering,關(guān)系詞在從句中做賓語,已被省略,這里it指代earthquake,在從句中做主語。故選A。
14.Tom did not _____easily, but was willing to accept any helpful advice for a worthy cause.
A. approach B. wrestle C. compromise D. communicate
【答案】C
【解析】
【詳解】考查動詞辨析。句意:Tom不輕易妥協(xié),但是為了一份有價值的事業(yè)他愿意接受有益的意見。A. approach接近;B. wrestle搏斗;C. compromise妥協(xié);D. communicate交流。根據(jù)句意及選項可知,C項符合語境。故選C。

【答案】D
【解析】
【詳解】考查情景對話。句意:——我一直在寫論文,累壞了?!獔猿窒氯ァD阋欢〞晒Φ?。A. Don’t put on airs不要擺架子;B. Give me a break讓我休息一下;C. Don’t get on my nerve別惹我生氣;D. Hang in there堅持下去。根據(jù)You’ll surely make it.可知這里意思是堅持下去,故選D。

For most of us, work is the central, dominating fact of life. We spend more than half our conscious hours at work, preparing for work, traveling to and from work. What we do there largely determines our standard of living and our status to a considerable extent. It is sometimes said that because leisure has become more important, the injustices of work can be pushed into a corner, and that because most work is pretty intolerable, the people who do it should compensate for its boredom, frustrations and humiliations by concentrating their hopes on the other parts of their lives. For the foreseeable future, however, the material and psychological rewards which work can provide will continue to play a vital part in determining the satisfaction that life can offer.
Yet only a small minority can control the pace at which they work or the conditions where their work is done; only for a small minority does work offer scope for creativity, imagination or initiative.
Inequality at work is still one of the most glaring (明顯的) forms of inequality in our society. We cannot hope to solve the more obvious problems of industrial life, many of which arise from the frustrations created by inequality at work, unless we handle it determinedly.
The most glaring inequality is that between managers and the rest. For most managers, work is an opportunity and a challenge. Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to develop their abilities. They are constantly learning. They are able to exercise responsibility. They have a considerable degree of control over their own and others’ working lives. Most important of all, they have opportunities to initiate. By contrast, for most manual workers, work is a boring, dull, even painful experience. They spend all their working lives in intolerable conditions. The majority have little control over their work. It provides them with no opportunity for personal development. Many jobs are so routine that workers feel themselves to be mere cogs (齒輪) in the bureaucratic machine. As a direct consequence of their work experience, many workers feel alienated (疏遠) from their work and their firm.
38. In the writer’s opinion, people judge others mainly by ________.
A. the type of work they do B. the place where they work
C. the time they spend at work D. the amount of money they earn
39. According to the writer, to solve problems in an industrial society, we ________.
A. should create more working opportunities for the poor
B. have to get rid of the unequal aspects in work
C. had better cancel all managing positions in a company
D. should encourage the manual workers to promote efficiency
40. What advantage does the writer say managers have over workers?
A. They won’t be out of work.
B. They get time off to learn constantly.
C. They can work at what interests them.
D. They have complete control over themselves.

C
It started during a yoga class. She felt a strange pull on her neck, a feeling completely foreign to her. Her friend suggested she rush to the emergency room. It turned out that she was having a heart attack.
She didn’t share similar symptoms with someone who was likely to have a heart attack. She exercised, watched her plate and did not smoke. But on reviewing her medical history, I found that her cholesterol (膽固醇) level was sky-high. She had been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering statin (他汀) medication, but she never picked up the prescription because of the scary things she had read about statins on the Internet. She was the victim of fake medical news.
While misinformation has been the object of great attention in politics, medical misinformation might lead to an increase in deaths. As is true with fake news in general, medical lies tend to spread further than truths on the Internet—and they have very real bad consequences.
False medical information can also lead to patients experiencing greater side effects through the “nocebo effect (反安慰劑效應(yīng)) ”. Sometimes patients benefit from an intervention (干預(yù)) simply because they believe they will—that’s the placebo effect (安慰劑效應(yīng)) . The nocebo effect is the opposite. Patients can experience harmful effects because they anticipate them. This is very true of statins. In blinded trials, patients who get statins are no more likely to report feeling muscle aches than patients who get a placebo. Yet, in clinical practice, according to one study, almost a fifth of patients taking statins report side effects, leading many to discontinue the drugs.
What else is on the fake news hit list? As always, vaccines (疫苗) . False concerns that the vaccine may cause side effects have greatly reduced coverage rates.
Cancer is another big target for pushers of medical misinformation—many of whom refuse alternative therapies. “Though most people think cancer tumors are bad, they’re actually the way your body attempts to contain the harmful cells,” one fake news story reads. It warns that prescription medications lead to the uncontrolled cell mutations (變異) .
Silicon Valley needs to face this problem. I am not a free-speech lawyer, but when human health is at risk, perhaps search engines, social media platforms and websites should be held responsible for promoting or hosting fake information. Meanwhile, journalists should do a better job of spreading accurate information.

A. the woman paid little attention to her daily diets
B. the unhealthy lifestyle might lead to the woman’s heart attack

A story posted by The New York Post Monday tells the tale of Katrina Holte, a Hillsboro woman who quit her job to cosplay a 1950s housewife.
Let me start by expressing admiration to Holte for using her 2019 freedoms to follow her 1950s dreams. Everyone should be so lucky as to get to decide what they wear and how they spend their time. That’s the future our foremothers fought for.
But as much fun as I am sure she is having living a vintage (復(fù)古的) life, which literally includes watching shows like “I Love Lucy” and listening to vinyl recordings (刻錄碟片) , I think it’s important to remember that being a 1950s housewife was actually totally awful, and something our grandmothers and mothers fought against.
For example, once I called my grandma and asked her for her recipe for Cloud Biscuits, these delicious biscuits she used to make that we would cover with butter and homemade raspberry jam on Thanksgiving.
“Why would you want that?” she said. “Go to the store. Go to the freezer section. Buy some pre-made biscuits and put them in the oven.”
She straight-up refused to give me the recipe, because it was hard and took a long time to make. In her mind, it was a waste of time.
Getting off the phone, it occurred to me that spending every day of your life serving a husband and five children wasn’t fun at all. And then there are the grandchildren who eventually come along demanding Cloud Biscuits, a whole new expanded set of people to feed.
She was basically a slave to those hungry mouths, cooking scratch meals three times a day
When she wasn’t trapped in the kitchen, she had to keep the house clean, make sure she looked good enough to be socially acceptable, and make sure her kids and husband looked good enough to be socially acceptable. And she had no days off.
I know my grandma loves her kids and her grandkids, her husband and the life she led, but man, it must have been a lot of thankless, mindless labor.
No wonder everyone went all-in on processed foods when they came around. Imagine the nice break something like a microwave dinner would give a woman working, unpaid, for her family every single day?
I also had another grandma. She was a scholar who helped found the Center for the Study of Women in Society at University of Oregon. She was a pioneering second-wave feminist who wrote books, gave lectures and traveled the world.
But, she did all of that after divorcing my grandpa, when most of her kids were out of the house. Back then, in the 1950s and the 1960s, there was no illusion about women “having it all”. How could that even possibly happen? If you were taking care of a family, waiting on your husband, you had no time to follow your dreams, unless you made that your dream
A lot of women took that approach. We call it Stockholm Syndrome now.
And of course, these women I am talking about are upper-middle-class white women. Romanticizing the 1950s is especially disgusting when you think about how women of color and poor women were treated back then, and the lack of education and choices available to them.
Because the women in this country demanded something approaching equality, Holte has the chance to live out her fantasy. Not every woman in America is so lucky.
We still don’t have pay equality and in many states, we still don’t have autonomy over our own bodies. Poor women and women of color still lack the opportunities of their wealthy and white peers.
And while it’s getting better, women are still expected to be responsible for the emotional labor of running a household and raising the children.
But at least we can get jobs. At least we don’t have to sew our own clothes, wear a full face of makeup every day and spend hours making Cloud Biscuits some ungrateful kid will wolf down, barely remembering to say thank you.
45. According to the author, what is the future our foremothers fought for?
A. Watching shows like “I Love Lucy” and listening to vinyl recordings.
B. Having the freedom to make choices in their daily life.
C. Making Cloud Biscuits for their kids and husbands.
D. Making sure their kids and husbands socially acceptable.
46. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 13 refer to?
A. Writing books, giving lectures and traveling the world.
B. Divorcing husband when kids were out of house.
C. Taking care of a family and waiting on husband.
D. Women’s illusion about “having it all”.
47. What does the “Stockholm Syndrome” in paragraph 14 really mean in the passage?
A. Women have been used to the unfair treatment at home
B. Women nowadays like the way of life in the 1950s.
C. Victims end up sympathizing with the abusers.
D. Women have the chance to live out their dreams.
48. The author thinks of the life of a 1950s housewife as ________.
A. fantastic B. admirable
C. awful D. unforgettable
49. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It was a waste of time to give grandchildren the recipe.
B. All women are not lucky to follow their own dreams in America now.
C. Housewives received recognition for their efforts from family members.
D. The upper-middle-class white women did a better job in running the household.
50. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To show great appreciation to her grandmas.
B. To call on housewives to claim the pay for the housework they undertake.
C. To draw readers’ attention to the situations women face, especially those poor and of color.
D. To arouse women’s awareness of equal pay at work.

本文是記敘文。作者認為在日常生活中擁有選擇的自由是我們的祖先為之奮斗的未來,同時想讓讀者注意到女性所面臨的處境,尤其是那些貧窮的有色人種。
【45題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的Everyone should be so lucky as to get to decide what they wear and how they spend their time. That’s the future our foremothers fought for.(每個人都應(yīng)該很幸運,能夠決定自己穿什么,如何度過時間。這就是我們的祖先為之奮斗的未來)由此可知,作者認為在日常生活中擁有選擇的自由是我們的祖先為之奮斗的未來。A選項只是Katrina Holte的個人選擇,錯誤。CD選項是1950的女性的日常生活,也不符合題意。故選B。
【46題詳解】
詞義猜測題。找到劃線詞所在句If you were taking care of a family, waiting on your husband, you had no time to follow your dreams, unless you made that your dream.(如果你要照顧一個家庭,服侍你的丈夫,你就沒有時間去追求你的夢想,除非你把它當成你的夢想)可知,that指代的其實是前面的內(nèi)容,也就是taking care of a family, waiting on your husband。故選C。
【47題詳解】
詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞所在句及前面的A lot of women took that approach. We call it Stockholm Syndrome now.(很多女性采取了這種方式。我們現(xiàn)在稱之為Stockholm Syndrome)可知,我們現(xiàn)在把1950s很多女性接受了這個方式生活下去的這個現(xiàn)象稱作Stockholm Syndrome。根據(jù)上文可知,1950s很多女性的生活方式則是——照顧家庭、服侍丈夫、沒有時間去追求自己的夢想,這對女性來講是不公平的。因此A選項正確,be used to和take that approach形成替換。B選項錯誤,說的是1950s而不是現(xiàn)代。C選項沒有具體的時代背景,錯誤。D選項不是1950s的現(xiàn)象,錯誤。故選A。
【48題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的I think it’s important to remember that being a 1950s housewife was actually totally awful, and something our grandmothers and mothers fought against.(我認為重要的是要記住,作為一個50年代的家庭主婦實際上是非常糟糕的,這是我們的祖母和母親所反對的)可知,作者認為20世紀50年代家庭主婦的生活很糟糕。故選C。
【49題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段中Holte has the chance to live out her fantasy. Not every woman in America is so lucky.(霍爾特有機會實現(xiàn)她的夢想。不是每個美國女人都這么幸運)可推知,在美國,并不是所有的女性都有機會追逐自己的夢想。故選B。
【50題詳解】
推理判斷題。作者寫文章的目的必然與其主旨有關(guān)。目的在文章中最集中指出問題的一段,也就是倒數(shù)第三段We still don’t have pay equality and in many states, we still don’t have autonomy over our own bodies. Poor women and women of color still lack the opportunities of their wealthy and white peers.(我們?nèi)匀粵]有薪酬平等,在許多州,我們?nèi)匀粵]有對自己身體的自主權(quán)。貧困婦女和有色人種婦女仍然缺乏與富裕和白人婦女同等的機會)。由此可知,作者寫這篇文章的主要目的是讓讀者注意到女性所面臨的情況,尤其是那些貧窮和有色人種的情況。A選項很容易排除,B選項說呼吁家庭主婦為他們承擔的家庭勞作要求報酬也與主旨無關(guān)。D選項涵蓋的太小了,不僅僅是equal pay。故選C。

When times are tough, how should governments in poor countries ensure their citizens remain fed? In the past, most of them used subsidies (現(xiàn)金補助) to keep food prices low for all their citizens. But these policies have become ineffective: the cost of maintaining Egypt’s food subsidies, for instance, nearly doubled between 2009 and 2013. And much of the money goes to the wrong people. In Egypt and the Philippines less than 20% of spending on food subsidies goes to poor households. In the Middle East and North Africa only 35% of subsidies reach 40% of the poorest, the IMF notes.
Motivated by a desire to control growing budget deficits (赤字) , many countries are replacing broad subsidies with policies aimed more directly at the needy. But what form should the targeted aid take? Earlier this month Iran introduced free handouts of food to replace its subsidy method. Other countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, have chosen instead to provide extra cash benefits to the poor. So far, food vouchers (代金券) have been the least popular option. Proposals to introduce food vouchers in such countries as Malaysia have been rejected on the basis that they were too American and un-Asian.
However, the researchers at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) thought that might have been a mistake and analyzed the results of an experiment conducted by the World Food Programme in Ecuador, a South American country, in 2011, which compared handouts of food, cash and vouchers in the experiment. The study found that direct handouts— Iran’s new policy—were the least effective option. They cost three times as much as vouchers to promote calorie intake by 15%, and were four times as costly as a way of increasing dietary diversity and quality. Distribution costs were high, and wastage was also a problem. Only 63% of the food given away was actually eaten, while 83% of the cash was spent on food and 99% of the vouchers were exchanged as intended. Food handouts have also been the costliest option in similar projects in some African countries, according to John Hoddinott at IFPRI.
In Ecuador there was little difference in cost between handing out cash and food vouchers, the other two options. But food vouchers were better at encouraging people to buy healthier foods because of restrictions on what items could be exchanged for them. It was 25% cheaper to promote the quality of household nutrition using food vouchers than it was by handing out cash.
A switch from universal subsidies to vouchers could be the most efficient way of promoting health as well as relieving poverty. This is very necessary in many developing countries, according to Lynn Brown, a consultant for the World Bank.

【56題詳解】
本題最后一道做,是標題題。根據(jù)最后一段中的A switch from universal subsidies to vouchers could be the most efficient way of promoting health as well as relieving poverty. This is very necessary in many developing countries, according to Lynn Brown, a consultant for the World Bank.(從普遍補貼轉(zhuǎn)向代金券可能是促進健康和消除貧困的最有效方式。世界銀行顧問林恩?布朗表示,這在許多發(fā)展中國家非常必要)及全文的內(nèi)容可知,food vouchers是最合理最劃算的政策,因此它值得發(fā)展中國家去考慮。故填worth/deserving。
【57題詳解】
根據(jù)第一段中的When times are tough, how should governments in poor countries ensure their citizens remain fed?(當時局艱難時,貧窮國家的政府應(yīng)如何確保其公民有飯吃)可知,universal subsidies(補貼)的目的是ensure their citizens remain fed(確保其公民有飯吃)。由空后for可知,此處替換成provide for the citizen in poor countries。故填provide。
【58題詳解】
根據(jù)第一段中的But these policies have become ineffective(但這些政策已經(jīng)失效)可知,此處把ineffective替換成not effective。故填effective。

根據(jù)第一段中的And much of the money goes to the wrong people.(大部分錢都花在了錯誤的人身上)和第二段中的另一個提示aimed more directly at the needy(更直接地針對有需要的人)。Needy與此處in need 形成同義替換。故填need。

第六部分:書面表達(共1小題;滿分25分)
66.請閱讀下面這段文字,并按照要求用英語寫一篇150詞左右的文章。
How much money should I spend each month? This is asked by college students at the start of every term, and it’s become a hot topic of discussion following a controversial online post. The post was about a college student who demanded 4,500 yuan for monthly living expenses from her mom, reported China Daily
In the post, this new college student explained that her school is in a top-tier city and that her expenses included skin-care products and new clothes. Her mother did not agree and “only” gave her 2,000 yuan.
The post started a heated debate. Some people came to her defense. Girls invest a lot in skin-care products and new clothes while boys invest much in shoes, latest electronic devices and equipment for games.
However, someone thinks 4,500 yuan is too much. According to a 2019 report, students in 15 cities spent more than 1,500 yuan a month on average. Beijing topped the list at 2,400 yuan, and Shanghai followed close behind at 2,300 yuan. In some cities, a parent may only earn a monthly salary of 4,000 or 5,000 yuan. Nevertheless, some students insist on buying Dyson vacuum cleaners (吸塵器) for their dormitories instead of common brooms. Others demand Apple laptops to study at Starbucks, instead of going to the library.
【寫作內(nèi)容】
1.用約 30 個詞概括上文內(nèi)容;
2.用約 120 個詞談?wù)勀銓@一現(xiàn)象的看法,包括如下要點:
(1)分析哪些原因造成了大學(xué)生生活開銷的上漲(不少于兩點);
(2)你覺得文中該大學(xué)生的要求是否合理?請闡述你的理由或建議(不少于兩點)。
【寫作要求】 不能直接引用原文句子。
【答案】A college student demanded for higher living expenses that are far beyond the average, which was turned down by her mother. Opinions on this issue vary from person to person.
The reasons behind higher living expenses deserve thorough reflection. First of all, it goes without saying that soaring prices for commodities along with constant increasing investment in self-image and self-improvement, to some extent, give rise to such demands. In addition to basic needs, a large sum of money is wasted on unnecessary or luxurious things, which partly reflects college students’ irrational attitudes towards consumption.
From my perspective, by no means can asking for excessive living expenses be taken for granted. Despite the rising price, college students, especially those from poor areas, are expected to reduce parents’ financial burden by doing part-time jobs and making budgets instead of blind consumption. Meanwhile, compared with appearance, more investment is encouraged to enhance inner quality. (150 words)
【解析】
【分析】
這篇作文再次選擇了高考中熱門的正反觀點對比,大學(xué)生到底需不需要這么高的生活費?
【詳解】作為準大學(xué)生,高三的孩子們應(yīng)該是有話可寫的,尤其是生活在蘇州這種富庶的地方,價比天高,對于外面花花世界的誘惑,孩子們的觀點應(yīng)該會很有意思。
作為社會現(xiàn)象類文章,首先我們需要抓準首段的社會現(xiàn)象。
第一段:網(wǎng)絡(luò)上流傳著一個有爭論的帖子,一個女孩因為在一線城市上大學(xué),找媽媽要4500元每個月的生活費,理由是要護膚,買衣服,買電子產(chǎn)品。
第二段:女孩的媽媽義正言辭地拒絕了她的請求。
第三段和第四段:網(wǎng)友有人支持,有人反對。支持的原因是確實開銷大,反對的原因是大學(xué)生對于物質(zhì)的追求其實已經(jīng)超出了父母的承受能力。
值得注意的是,反對和支持的理由由于字數(shù)的限制,可以不用寫出來。第一段的結(jié)構(gòu)為事件和反響即可。
于是,我們第一段的內(nèi)容就出爐了。
A freshman, maintaining that the expense in first-tier city was much higher, demanded 4,500 yuan per month from her mom,who rejected the daughter’s request resolutely. Interestingly, netizens are divided on this incident. (32 words)
第二段分析生活費上漲原因,可以向內(nèi)看,和向外看。
向內(nèi)看:如今,大學(xué)生對于物質(zhì)的需求不比往屆學(xué)長學(xué)姐,學(xué)爺學(xué)奶,往屆的娃娃們生活清貧,艱苦樸素,不知星巴克,勞力士為何物?而如今大學(xué)生左口一個星巴克,右口一個耐克阿迪。不穿名牌都不好意思去上課。
向外看:我們的物質(zhì)生活水平確實提高了很多,對美好生活的向往心態(tài)也是與日俱增。而且,物價水平也在飆升,豬肉都40元一斤了,食堂的飯菜自然要漲價。車厘子都80元一斤了,水果再貴也得吃??紤]到大學(xué)生的吃喝拉撒費用都在上升,生活費自然也得跟上去。
所以我們的第二段內(nèi)容就有了。
Behind the soar of college students’ living expense lie two major drivers, the first of which goes to the rocketing commodity price. Gone are the days when students could enjoy a square meal at four to five yuan in the school canteen. Instead, it is not uncommon that asimple dish with pork or beef would cost them an arm and a leg, which is almost six times what it used to be. Another factor at play is that vanity and materialism prevail among university students, who might blindly chase after famous brands like iPhone or Starbucks. Inevitably, these luxury goods will add to their already too high expense. (108 words)
作為一個正氣浩然的高中生,肯定要反對這種恬不知恥,依賴心,攀比心,物質(zhì)心超強的無恥做法。理由是爸爸媽媽賺錢不易,而且自己已經(jīng)成年,可以通過做一些力所能及的兼職(當然在不影響自己學(xué)業(yè)的情況下)來增加自己的收入。同時,也要抵制物質(zhì)主義和攀比心來腐蝕自己,注重內(nèi)在修養(yǎng),多多看書,運動,廣泛交友,正能量。衣服和使用物品只要干凈整潔就好了。
I definitely turn my nose up at these college students’ unjustifiable and selfish request. Firstly, in no way should our parents’ hard-earned money be squandered on luxury goods, only to feed our vanity or materialism. Secondly, being an independent and self-reliant adult, Ican take up some odd jobs to alleviate my parents’ financial burden. Lastly, skincare and cosmetic are unnecessary since a neat and tidy appearance will do for an economically dependent student. (75 words)
