Why it matters that teens are reading less?
36.[E] That may be true, but that still does not tell us much about what happens across a whole generation of people when time spent on digital media grows.Large surveys con-ducted over the course of many years tell us that American youth are not going to the cinema nearly as often as they did in the past.
37.[B]Analysis of surveys of over one million teens in the United States collected since 1976 reveals a major shift in how teens are spending their leisure time. Paper books are being ignored, in favor of screens.…….

43.[F]But the treads related to movies are less disturbing compared with the change in how teens spend their time. Research has revealed an enormous decline in reading.In 1980, about 60 percent of senior high school students said they read a book, newspaper or magazine every day that was not assigned for school.By 2016, only 16 percent did.

参考译文
Dujiangyan, located on the Minjiang River in the west of Chengdu Plain, about 50km away from Chengdu City, was built in the third century BC. Its uniqueness is that it does not need dikes to regulate water flow. For more than 2000 years, it has been playing an effective role in flood control and irrigation, making Chengdu Plain a fertile land free from drought and flood and one of the most important grain producing areas in China. As the oldest water conservancy project in the world which is still in use and has no dike to control water, the Dujiangyan engineering reflects the wisdom of harmonious coexistence between Chinese people and nature.
第二套：大运河

The Grand Canal, extending from Beijing in the North to Hangzhou in the South, is the longest man-made river. Its construction was one of the most magnificent projects throughout the Chinese history. The construction of the canal started in the 4th century BC and was completed in the 13th century, with an original aim of facilitating grain transportation. Later, it was also for transporting other commodities. Over time, the areas along the course of the canal have developed into the industrial and commercial centres of China.

第三套：坎儿井
坎儿井( Karez)是新疆干旱地区的一种水利系统,由地下渠道将水井连接而成。该系统将春夏季节渗入( seep into)地下的大量雨水及积雪融水收集起来,通过山体的自然坡度引到地面,用于灌溉农田和满足人们的日常用水需求。坎儿井减少了水在地面的蒸发( evaporation),对地表破坏很小,因而有效地保护了自然资源与生态环境。坎儿井体现了我国人民与自然和谐共存的智慧,是对人类文明的一大贡献。
参考译文
Karez is a water conservancy system in the arid area of Xinjiang. It is formed by underground channels connecting wells. The system collects a large amount of rainwater and snow melt water that seep into the ground in spring and summer, and draws it to the ground through the natural slope of the mountain to irrigate farmland and meet people's daily water needs. Karez reduces the evaporation of water on the ground and does little damage to the surface, thus effectively protecting the natural resources and the ecological environment. Kanerjing embodies the wisdom of the harmonious coexistence of our people and nature, and is a great contribution to human civilization.

题目：Proposal to Organize a Speech Contest
参考范文
Dear Sir or Madam,
I'm 名字, a second-year student from Business Department. I'm writing to make a proposal about holding a college-wide English public speaking contest with the topic of "University as I see it".
The aims of the contest are twofold. First, students all over the University are offered an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to communicate effectively in English. Second, the contest could serve as a forum for students from different background to share their insights and experiences. It is important to note that only a current undergraduate student is eligible for the contest. Each of the contestants would be asked to deliver a prepared speech of 5 minutes and an impromptu speech based on the topic assigned after the prepared speech. The contest would be an off-line event at the International Conference Hall on 日期. A panel from the ESL faculty shall select five finalists from all participants. The finalists would present their speeches after which three winners (and two honorable mentions) would be chosen.
I'm looking forward to your reply. Thank you very much for everything you've done. Wish you all the best.
Yours sincerely,

题目：Proposal for an Orientation Program
参考范文
Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m 名字. I’m writing to make a proposal to conduct an orientation program for freshmen. The major purpose of the orientation program is to enable freshmen to adapt to the campus environment and academic life as soon as possible. The duration of the project is expected to be one week. Participants include all freshmen, teachers and academic staff.
The orientation is divided into three parts: a school lecture, a student activity and a campus tour. In the school lecture, we will introduce the school background, professional training objectives and how to select courses, so as to help students quickly embark on their learning journey. At the student activity, there will be some interesting games to help freshmen get to know each other quickly and make contacts. The last part is a campus tour, where students will visit the school's teaching building, library, restaurant, and so on, so as to help them to quickly adjust to campus life.
I hope the freshmen can quickly adapt to the new environment and academic studies through this orientation. I’m looking forward to your reply. Wish you all the best.
Yours sincerely,

题目：Report on Used Books Collecting on Campus
参考范文
I have just participated in a school project of collecting used books on campus which I find really rewarding. Here are some details of the project.
The aim of the project is to donate books to a primary school in a small village outside the town. Meanwhile, it's also aimed to protect the environment by recycling old books. Both the students and the teachers on campus participated in the project. What's more, some of the graduates also came back and gave away their books. All the books collected were to enlarge the collection of the primary school's library. There were two activities in this project, book donation and charity bazaar of old books. Both achieved great success in collecting used books.
We are very happy to report that, by now, about 1,500 books have been collected and the number is still growing. I hope more and more activities of this kind will be held on campus in the following days.
提高英语四级成绩的方法
要有兴趣
你要通过多媒体接触并了解英语，如你可以看美国电影，听欧美歌曲，或者对说英语的国家的传统礼仪产生兴趣等等。这是你学英语的动力也是能消除你对学习语言的枯燥心情。
背单词
你可以先背单词表的单词，不要怕麻烦，也不要产生不良情绪，如果你要巩固你的单词就应该多做单元卷，做多了，精华的东西你也就掌握了。
反复读英语文章
我如果让你多读英语文章的话，你肯定读不下去，所以要从最基本的入手，你可以随便找一篇你课文中的英语短文，了解其大概意思，弄懂其知识点，然后你就可以反复去读，要记住不要拿太简单的文章，中难度的文章就可以，
语法的问题
这是最令人头痛的部分，如天书一般。其实语法特简单，它就像语文的语法一样。两者有很多的相似之处，只要找到主谓宾，定状补，那么名词性从句你也就掌握一大半了。至于什么虚拟语气，让步从句那都是英语才有的。你要把这些语法集中在一个大本子上，反复去看，反复写就行。
