    阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Increased College Enrollment

    In recent years, there is a steady increase in college enrollment. To many high-school students, it's definitely good news,for they would have better chance of receiving higher education.

    You don't have to look very far to find out the advantages of the increased college enrollment. For one thing, it lessens the worries of both high school graduates and their parents. Besides,increased college enrollment can contribute to raise the educational level of our nation. What's more, increased college enrollment can provide more students with specialized knowledge, thus serving our development in a positive way.

    On the other hand, we can not deny that there are some potential problems about increased college enrollment. To begin with, with the increased number of students, the shortage of teaching staff and facilities becomes clearly seen. Worst of all, increased college enrollment leads to increased competition in the job market.

    It's not an easy task to tell whether the tendency should be encouraged. As to me, it's laudable to grant more students higher education. But a college degree is by no means a guarantee for a better job or future. To cast a promising career, we need a lot more abilities which we can not learn from college.

Increased College Enrollment     The college enrollment has risen steadily over the past years, which acts as a way to cultivate more well-educated people to serve the society. However, people’s opinions on it are divided.     On the whole, increased college enrollment is just like a double-edged sword, which has both benefits and potential shortcomings.     People who are in favor of the increased enrollment rate subscribe to the view that it not only relieves the high pressure on parents and students to some extent, but is also a suitable tool to raise the educational level in our country. What’s more, it can also help to cultivate more young labors with specialties.     On the contrary, there are also some people who are opposed to this policy, because they fear that it will lead to the shortage of teaching staff and educational facilities. Worse still, increased enrollment rate will intensify the already-fierce competition in job market.     In my point of view, this tendency should be continued, as we need more capable people to contribute to the fast-growing economy. But in the meantime, the government and universities ought to invest more to guarantee the quality of education. 【解析】略

In a few years, you might be able to speak Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, and English

— and all at the same time. This sounds incredible, but Alex Waibel, a computer science professor at US's Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Germany's University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it may soon be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each other.

One application, called Lecture Translation, can easily translate a speech from one language into another. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Users also have to be trained how to use the programme.

Another prototype(雏形机) can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what language they speak. “It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you,” Waibel said.

Prefer to read? So-called Translation Glasses transcribe(转录) the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal(液晶) display(LCD) screen.

Then there’s the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech. The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a person's face, according to researchers.

During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMU's Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named Stan Jou had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat. Then he mouthed — without speaking aloud — a few words in Mandarin(普通话) to the audience. A few seconds later, the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish: “Let me introduce our new prototype.”

This particular gadget(器械),when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or, as Waibel put it, “to switch your mouth to a foreign language”. “The idea behind the university's prototypes is to create ‘good enough’ bridges for cross-cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world,” Waibel said.

With spontaneous(自发的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio, tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people, and leaders of different countries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.

1. Which of the following statements is not TRUE?

A. A lecture translation can translate what you said into other languages easily.

B. There is no Muscle Translator in the world now.

C. Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.

D. The spontaneous translators will help us a lot.

2. What kind of equipment is NOT mentioned in this passage?

A. Lecture Translation.                       

B. Muscle Translator.

C. Multiple Translator.                       

D. Translation Prototype.

3. What’s the final destination of inventing the language translators?

A. To make cultural exchanges between different countries easier.

B. To help students learn foreign languages more easily.

C. To make people live in foreign countries more comfortably.

D. To help people learn more foreign languages in the future.

4.What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph?

A. The translator is so good that it can translate any language into the very language you need.

B. The translator is becoming more and more common in the world as a bridge.

C. With the help of the translator, you only need to open your mouth when you want to say something without saying the exact words at all.

D. The translator needs to be improved before being put into market.

5. Where can this passage probably be excerpted from?

A. A newspaper.                     

B. A magazine on science.

C. A fairy tale.                             

D. A scientific fantasy book.

The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.

  As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment(承担的义务), self - improvement.

  Ask a bachelor(单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.

  Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.

  Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

1.According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ____________ .

  A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities

  B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single

  C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage

  D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement

2.Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ____________ .

A. a moral duty                         

B. a thankless job

C. a rewarding task                      

D. a source of inevitable pain

3.From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ____________ .

A. hatred                                

B. misunderstanding    

C. prejudice                           

D. ignorance

4.To understand what true happiness is one must ____________ .

  A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetime

  B. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain

  C. put up with pain under all circumstances

  D. be able to distinguish happiness from fun

5.What is the author trying to tell us?

A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.

B. One must know how to attain happiness.

C. It is important to make commitments.      

D. It is pain that leads to happiness.

Everywhere man is altering the balance of nature.He is facilitating the spread of plants and animals into new regions, sometimes deliberately, sometimes unconsciously.He is covering huge areas with new kinds of plants, or with houses, factories, slag-heaps and other products of his civilization.He exterminates some species on a large scale, but favors the multiplication of others.In brief, he has done more in five thousand years to alter the biological aspect of the planet than has nature in five million.

    Many of these changes which he has brought about have had unforeseen consequences.Who would have thought that the throwing away of a piece of Canadian waterweed would have caused half the waterways of Britain to be blocked for a decade, or that the provision of pot cacti for lonely settlers’ wives would have led to Eastern Australian being overrun with forests of Prickly Pear? Who would have prophesied that the cutting down of forests on the Adriatic coasts, or in parts of Central Africa, could have reduced the land to a semi desert, with the very soil washed away from the bare rock? Who would have thought that improved communications would have changed history by the spreading of disease-sleeping sickness into East Africa, measles into Oceania, very possibly malaria into ancient Greece?

These are spectacular examples; but examples on a smaller scale are everywhere to be found.We make a nature sanctuary for rare birds, prescribing absolute security for all species; and we may find that some common and hardy kind of bird multiplies beyond measure and ousts the rare kinds in which we were particularly interested.We see, owing to some little change brought about by civilization, the starling spread over the English country-side in hordes.We improve the yielding capacities of our cattle; and find that now they exhaust the pastures which sufficed for less exigent stock.

1.The following examples except _______________ reflect man altering the balance of nature.

    A.man is covering huge areas with new kinds of plants

    B.man is facilitating the spread of animals into new regions.

    C.man is killing some species on a large scale

    D.man is getting to know the importance of keeping the balance of nature.

2.What had a piece of Canadian waterweed cause?

    A.Eastern Australian was overrun with forests.

    B.Half the waterways of Britain blocked for a decade.

    C.In parts of central Africa, the land reduced to a semi desert.

    D.Disease-sleeping has been caused.

3.What have spread diseases?

    A.Disease-sleeping sickness.                        B.Measles.

    C.Improved communications.        D.Malaria.

4.We make a nature sanctuary for rare birds but _______________.

A.some common and hardy kind of bird multiplies   

B.rare kinds multiply

C.all bird multiply                             

D.no bird multiply

5.The main idea of the passage is ______________.

    A.that man is deliberately destroying the balance of nature

B.that man has foreseen the consequences of altering the balance old nature

    C.that improved communications have changed history

D.that man is altering the balance of nature
