Part I Writing 写作范文
For most of college students they usually go to school by bike Some of them ride their own bicycles to go from home to school However as the shared bikes are everywhere now in our communities some choose to go to school by riding a shared bike Personally if it’s up to me to choose one between my own bicycle and a shared bicycle I believe I would choose a shared bicycle
I have a couple of reasons for my choice First off it is very cheap to take a shared bicycle and it’s affordable for most of young students Secondly it spares your time and energy to keep your own bicycle in shape with staff from the shared bike company responsible for the maintenance of every bicycle in the street Thirdly there’s no need for you to worry about your bicycle’s being stolen
A shared bicycle will benefit us young students a lot on the way to school and back However in order to use it properly we should park it in appropriate places avoiding putting it in others’ way Besides we should handle a shared bicycle carefully being careful not to bring any damage to it Only in this way could we make good use of shared bikes

Passage One
If you were to look back into the earliest European presence in North America as a history of the early United States you might start with Columbus in 1492 jump to Jamestown in 1607 and treat the following 115 years as a few decades
In fact there was the Atlantic slave trade here since its beginnings in the 1400s as much part of the European breakout into the Atlantic Ocean and into North America And of course the result of the western African explorations was the transport of hundreds of thousands of Africans to North America In fact the stories of African exploration and slave captures reflect the same encounter with the new and strange A Portuguese seaman describes the marvellous sight of captives gathered on the African shore and explains in detail how other Africans marvelled at the sight of their ship But the marvels give way to matteroffact accounts of slave trafficking and the immorality of slavery
The date we recognize for the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in Virginia is 1619 but the first recorded arrival in North America occurred 117 years earlier in 1502 In 1517 the first slaves sent directly from Africa arrived to do forced labor on the Spanish plantations and mines in the Caribbean islands As the Native Americans enslaved by the Spanish died by the thousands from overwork and disease more Africans were captured and shipped to replace them It remained a critical and brutal element of the Spanish and English economies in North America for over four centuries
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard
16 When did the slave trade start in North America
17 How did local Africans feel when they first saw the Portuguese ship

Passage Two
Forest fires get a bad reputation While yes these fires are harmful and destructive to humans and the land affected they also come with many hidden benefits According to the past record forest fires play a vital role in maintaining nature’s constant cycle
The destructive manner of wildfires helps the environment and the forest’s habitat in a variety of ways Not only do they remove dead and decaying plants that act as fuel for future fires—ones that will be more intense and disastrous wildfires also work to eliminate dense leaves and thin out the forest allowing plants closer to the forest floor to come in more contact with sunlight and rain enabling a new generation of seedlings to grow
The intense heat of these fires brings the nutrients and minerals out of many burning plants restoring the soil’s composition and creating a more fertile growing area for new species Fireweed is an example of a plant that can only grow in the wake of a forest fire Used in habitat restoration fireweed is often a necessary component in reestablishing vegetation in a burnt site
If forest fires have such a positive impact on our environment why do we not purposely start them in extremely controlled conditions more often Yes wildfires can be extremely beneficial to the surrounding habitat in various ways but it is hard to forget their destructive manner Are we willing to sacrifice our houses and land for the betterment of nature
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard
19 How could forest fire help plants growing on the forest floor
20 What might forest fires do to the soil in the forest
21 What is mentioned of fireweed

Motivation is a process that controls and maintains certain behaviors Eating chocolate exercising and studying all require motivation Everyone experiences lack of motivation from time to time Staring at a stack of books not wanting to study seeing a pile of dishes in the sink and not feeling like doing them or skipping going to the gym because you don’t feel like it are all signs of lack of motivation
For some people trouble feeling motivated can have negative impact on academic personal or professional success Low grades damaged friendships or a demotion at work are all realistic consequences of low motivation Addressing the root cause of motivation issues is the first step in learning how to reengage in healthy behaviors
Here are the most common reasons for why people have trouble motivating themselves
Depression One of the most common symptoms of depression is called anhedonia or the lack of interest in activities especially ones that once used to be pleasurable Depression can damage academic and professional success Treating the depression effectively has a very positive effect on motivation and productivity
