Happy people work differently. They’re more productive, more creative, and willing to take greater risks. And new research suggests that happiness might influence__1__firm’s work, too.
Companies located in places with happier people invest more, according to a recent research paper.__2__, firms in happy places spend more on R&D (research and development). That’s because happiness is linked to the kind of longer-term thinking__3__for making investments for the future.
The researchers wanted to know if the__4__and inclination for risk-taking that come with happiness would__5__the way companies invested. So they compared U.S. cities’ average happiness__6__by Gallup polling with the investment activity of publicly traded firms in those areas.
__7__enough, firms’ investment and R&D intensity were correlated with the happiness of the area in which they were__8__.But is it really happiness that’s linked to investment, or could something else about happier cities__9__why firms there spend more on R&D? To find out, the researchers controlled for various__10__that might make firms more likely to invest – like size, industry, and sales – and for indicators that a place was__11__to live in, like growth in wages or population. The link between happiness and investment generally__12__even after accounting for these things.
The correlation between happiness and investment was particularly strong for younger firms, which the authors__13__to “less codified decision making process” and the possible presence of “younger and less__14__managers who are more likely to be influenced by sentiment.” The relationship was__15__stronger in places where happiness was spread more__16__.Firms seem to invest more in places where most people are relatively happy, rather than in places with happiness inequality.
__17__ this doesn’t prove that happiness causes firms to invest more or to take a longer-term view, the authors believe it at least__18__at that possibility. It’s not hard to imagine that local culture and sentiment would help__19__how executives think about the future. “It surely seems plausible that happy people would be more forward-thinking and creative and__20__R&D more than the average,” said one researcher.

【全文翻译】
高兴的人作业起来会有不一样。他们更多产，更有创造力，也更情愿去冒险。近期的一项研讨标明高兴也也许会影响公司的作业。
依据近期的研讨陈述，在各地的公司里，具有更多高兴的职工会投入的更多。格外是那些在高兴空气中的公司会做更多的研制以及开展。因为高兴与对将来出资有必要的久远思考相联系。这是因为对将来进行出资需求作出久远决议方案，而这种决议方案与高兴有关。
研讨者期望了解达观精力和随高兴而来的冒险精力是否会改动公司出资的办法。因而，他们把盖洛普咨询公司所评价出的美国城市均匀美好指数与该区域的上市公司出资活跃度进行比照。
足以必定的是，公司出资和研制力度与公司总部地点地的美好指数有关。可是美好真的与出资有关吗？或许说美好指数更高的城市的别的方面能够阐明公司为何加大研制投入。为了澄清这一点，研讨者掌握了多种也许促使公司出资的要素，例如规划，工业，出售，也掌握了各种方针，如适宜居住地，薪酬涨幅及人员改变。了解这些问题后，美好与出资的联系就能够轻松得出了。
美好与出资之间的联系格外适用于新公司，这是因为新公司所做决议会偏草率，而且年青的新司理决议方案时更简单受心情影响。相同，这种联系在职工美好指数相同的公司尤为显着。公司好像乐于出资那些相对高兴的职工地点的有些，而不是那些不高兴的有些。
然而这并不证实是美好致使公司许多出资，或许从久远的视点来讲，研讨人员认为较少它预示着这种也许性。不难想象，本地文明以及情感有助于影响高管关于将来的观念。“高兴的人比通常人有预见性、创造力、更长于研制这种说法好像更可信。”一位研讨者说。

It’s true that high-school coding classes aren’t essential for learning computer science in college. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science.
However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When younger kids learn computer science, they learn that it’s not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers — but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses. It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal. Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.
Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the less-experienced or-determined students away.
The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding bootcamps that’s become popular for adults looking for a career change. The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but “we try to gear lessons toward things they’re interested in,” said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.
The students in the Flatiron class probably won’t drop out of high school and build the next Facebook. Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the “Ruby on Rails” language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But the skills they learn — how to think logically through a problem and
organize the results — apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.
Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounded by computers — in their pockets, in their offices, in their homes — for the rest of their lives. The younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing what they want — the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that — the better.
21. Cortina holds that early exposure to computer science makes it easier to____.
A. complete future job training
B. remodel the way of thinking
C. formulate logical hypotheses
D. perfect artwork production
22. In delivering lessons for high-schoolers, Flatiron has considered their____.
A. experience
B. academic backgrounds
C. career prospects
D. interest
23. Deborah Seehorn believes that the skills learned at Flatiron will____.
A. help students learn other computer languages
B. have to be upgraded when new technologies come
C. need improving when students look for jobs
D. enable students to make big quick money
24. According to the last paragraph, Flatiron students are expected to____.
A. compete with a future army of programmers
B. stay longer in the information technology industry
C. become better prepared for the digitalized world
D. bring forth innovative computer technologies
25. The word “coax” (Line4, Para.6) is closest in meaning to____.
A. challenge
B. persuade
C. frighten
D. misguide

23 答案 A help students learn other computer languages
解析：文中人物观念题。题干问的是Deborah Seehorn认为在Flatiron这儿所学到的技术将能怎么，据此定位到第五段But处，和题干基本共同，该句指出“But the skills they learn…appl to any coding language”，意思是他们学到的技术能够使用于任何编码言语。比照答案选项，A选项的意思是“协助学生学习别的的计算机言语”归于原文定位处的同义更换。
24 答案 C become better prepared for the digitalized world
解析：细节题。题干指出：依据终究一段，Flatiron的学生被期望去干啥。据此定位到终究一段的These kids are going to be处，是题干的同义复现。定位句“These kids are…be surrounded by computers for the rest of their lives. The younger they learn how computers think…….the better.”，意思是学生们越早学越好。C选项“为数字化的将来做十分好的准备”是同义概述。
25 答案 B persuade
解析：词义句意题，联系上下文来解题。依据coax此单词，定位到终究一段终究一句“how to coax the machine into producing what they want”，查询固定调配“persuade…into…”。A选项应战，B选项劝服，C选项使惊惧，D选项误导。考生做题时必定要留意联系上下文来估测生词的词义，这是命题人的命题 规则。

Biologists estimate that as many as 2 million lesser prairie chickens---a kind of bird living on stretching grasslands—once lent red to the often gray landscape of the midwestern and southwestern United States. But just some 22,000 birds remain today, occupying about 16% of the species’ historic range.
The crash was a major reason the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service （USFWS）decided to formally list the bird as threatened. “The lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation,” said USFWS Director Daniel Ashe. Some environmentalists, however, were disappointed. They had pushed the agency to designate the bird as “endangered,” a status that gives federal officials greater regulatory power to crack down on threats. But Ashe and others argued that the“threatened” tag gave the federal government flexibility to try out new, potentially less confrontational conservations approaches. In particular, they called for forging closer collaborations with western state governments, which are often uneasy with federal action and with the private landowners who control an estimated 95% of the prairie chicken’s habitat.
Under the plan, for example, the agency said it would not prosecute landowner or businesses that unintentionally kill, harm, or disturb the bird, as long as they had signed a range—wide management plan to restore prairie chicken habitat. Negotiated by USFWS and the states, the plan requires individuals and businesses that damage habitat as part of their operations to pay into a fund to replace every acre destroyed with 2 new acres of suitable habitat. The fund will also be used to compensate landowners who set aside habitat, USFWS also set an interim goal of restoring prairie chicken populations to an annual average of 67,000 birds over the next 10 years. And it gives the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA), a coalition of state agencies, the job of monitoring progress. Overall, the idea is to let “states” remain in the driver’s seat for managing the species，” Ashe said.
Not everyone buys the win-win rhetoric Some Congress members are trying to block the plan, and at least a dozen industry groups, four states, and three environmental groups are challenging it in federal court Not surprisingly, doesn’t go far enough “The federal government is giving responsibility for managing the bird to the same industries that are pushing it to extinction,” says biologist Jay Lininger.
26. The major reason for listing the lesser prairie as threatened is____
[A]its drastically decreased population
[B]the underestimate of the grassland acreage
[C]a desperate appeal from some biologists
[D]the insistence of private landowners
27.The “threatened” tag disappointed some environmentalists in that it_____
[A]was a give-in to governmental pressure
[B]would involve fewer agencies in action
[C]granted less federal regulatory power
[D]went against conservation policies
28.It can be learned from Paragraph3 that unintentional harm-doers will not be prosecuted if they_____
[A]agree to pay a sum for compensation
[B]volunteer to set up an equally big habitat
[C]offer to support the WAFWA monitoring job
[D]promise to raise funds for USFWS operations
29.According to Ashe， the leading role in managing the species in______
[A]the federal government
[B]the wildlife agencies
[C]the landowners
[D]the states
30.Jay Lininger would most likely support_______
[A]industry groups
[B]the win-win rhetoric
[C]environmental groups
[D]the plan under challenge
26 答案 A its drastically decreased population
解析：此题是因素细节题。依据要害字定位到榜首段But前后关于lesser prairie chickens 数量2million和22,000的激烈比照。此外第二段第二句“the lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation”都能够得知A its drastically decreased population 数量的急剧下降为准确答案。
27 答案 C granted less federal regulatory powers
Grant 动词-附和答应；颁发赋予
名词-补助
解析：此题是因素细节题。依据要害字定位到第二段第四句，They had …, a state that gives federal officials greater regulatory power. 而But 以后是截然相反的事实，即政府颁发了更少的管理权。故而C granted less federal regulatory powers为准确答案。
28 答案 A agree to pay a sum for compensation抵偿抵偿 薪酬
解析：揣度题。题干问的是从第三段推出来：无意损伤的那些人是不会被检举的假如怎么。依据题干定位到第三段首句“it would not prosecute….as long as ….”，题干中问的if即原文的as long as的附和更换，原文as long as的意思是：只需他们签署了方案。下一句说道，该方案请求个体和公司去付出基金。对应选项A选项“附和付出抵偿”归于同义更换。
29 答案 D the states
解析：此题是细节题。依据要害字定位到第三段终究一句the idea is to let the“states”remain in the driver’s seat for managing the species, Ashe said. 其中in the driver’s seat对应题干中的the leading role, 故而D states为准确答案。
30 答案 C environmental groups集体集体
解析：文中人物观念题。题干问的是Jay Lininger较也许支撑谁，大写人名定位到末段终究一句。终究一句说到：生物学家Jay Lininger说道联邦政府要把职责推给致使鸟类灭绝的公司，显然是对政府和公司的对立。再往前看一句，指出：公司集体和政府有些观念共同，环境学家与其观念恰巧共同。因而，Jay Lininger较支撑环境集体的观念了。

That everyone’s too busy these days is a cliché. But one specific complaint is made especially mournfully： There’s never any time to read.
What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management techniques don’t seem sufficient. The web’s full of articles offering tips on making time to read: “Give up TV” or “Carry a book with you at all times” But in my experience, using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn’t work. Sit down to read and the flywheel of work-related thoughts keeps spinning-or else you’re so exhausted that a challenging book’s the last thing you need. The modern mind, Tim Parks, a novelist and critic, writes, “is overwhelmingly inclined toward communication…It is not simply that one is interrupted; it is that one is actually inclined to interruption”. Deep reading requires not just time, but a special kind of time which can’t be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.
In fact, “becoming more efficient” is part of the problem. Thinking of time as a resource to be maximised means you approach it instrumentally, judging any given moment as well spent only in so far as it advances progress toward some goal immersive reading, by contrast, depends on being willing to risk inefficiency, goallessness, even time-wasting. Try to slot it as a to-do list item and you’ll manage only goal-focused reading-useful, sometimes, but not the most fulfilling kind. “The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt,” writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and “we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles (days, hours, minutes）as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, we will have wasted them”. No mind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book.
So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You’d think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us “step outside time’s flow” into “soul time”. You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers. “Carry a book with you at all times” can actually work, too-providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really good day, it no longer feels as if you’re “making time to read,” but just reading, and making time for everything else.
31. The usual time-management techniques don’t work because?????
[A] what they can offer does not ease the modern mind
[B] what challenging books demand is repetitive reading
[C] what people often forget is carrying a book with them
[D] what deep reading requires cannot be guaranteed
32. The “empty bottles” metaphor illustrates that people feel a pressure to?????
[A] update their to-do lists
[B] make passing time fulfilling
[C] carry their plans through
[D] pursue carefree reading
33. Eberle would agree that scheduling regular times for reading helps?????
[A] encourage the efficiency mind-set
[B] develop online reading habits
[C] promote ritualistic reading
[D] achieve immersive reading
34. “Carry a book with you at all times” can work if?????
[A] reading becomes your primary business of the day
[B] all the daily business has been promptly dealt with
[C] you are able to drop back to business after reading
[D] time can be evenly split for reading and business
35. The best title for this text could be?????
[A] How to Enjoy Easy Reading
[B] How to Find Time to Read
[C] How to Set Reading Goals
[D] How to Read Extensively
31 答案 D what deep reading requires cannot be guaranteed.
解析：因果细节题。题干指出：传统的时刻管理办法不起作用的因素是啥。依据题干定位到第二段首句指出the usual time-management techniques don’t seem sufficient，是题干的同义更换，但要找因素。整段都在剖析进程环节，终究因素必定在该段末句说到。直接定位到该段末句，指出深化阅览不仅需求时刻，而且是一种只是经过有效无法取得的一种时刻。联系选项D，深化阅览所需的无法得到增加，是原文末句的同义更换。
32 答案 B make passing time fulfilling
解析：题干问的是“empty bottles”暗喻证实了咱们在做啥方面有压力，empty bottles直接能够在文中Gary Eberle所说的话中找到：“The future comes at us like empty bottles…”。其所说的话证实的意图必定是为了阐明前一句的观念。因而，该题定位到三段“try to slot…but not the most fulfilling kind”，该句就指出：只会处理方针会集的阅览，这是有用的，但不是较有满足感的。联系选项B使消逝的时刻更有满足感，是原文的同义更换。
33 答案 D achieve immersive reading
解析：文中人物观念题，留意区别文中人物观念和作者观念。题干问的是Eberle附和为阅览设定规定性时刻协助啥。依据题干准断定位到第四段第二句：“You’d think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, E…..into soul time”，意思是你会认为这能够进步效率性思想设定，但实际上这些行动协助咱们跨入到魂灵阅览时刻。对应选项D，取得深化阅览，归于同义更换。
34 答案 A reading becomes your primary business of the day
解析：细节题。题干指出：总是带一本书会起作用假如怎么。依据题干定位到末段基地有些“carry a book with you at all times can actually work, too … so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business.”，意思是这么的话阅览就变成默许状况，偶然会出来管理作业（留意business并非默许状况，非首要工作）。对应选项A 阅览变成每天的首要任务，是该句的同义更换。
35 答案 B How to Find Time to Read
解析：标题题，即全文基地宗旨。经过题干，可发现题干要害字中time复现屡次，因而可断定time为全文的主题词。整篇文章都环绕阅览时刻来打开，因而准确答案为A怎么寻觅阅览时刻。

Against a backdrop of drastic changes in economy and population structure, younger Americans are drawing a new 21st-century road map to success, a latest poll has found.
Across generational lines, Americans continue to prize many of the same traditional milestones of a successful life, including getting married, having children, owning a home, and retiring in their sixties. But while young and old mostly agree on what constitutes the finish line of a fulfilling life, they offer strikingly different paths for reaching it.
Young people who are still getting started in life were more likely than older adults to prioritize personal fulfillment in their work, to believe they will advance their careers most by regularly changing jobs, to favor communities with more public services and a faster pace of life, to agree that couples should be financially secure before getting married or having children, and to maintain that children are best served by two parents working outside the home, the survey found.
From career to community and family, these contrasts suggest that in the aftermath of the searing Great Recession, those just starting out in life are defining priorities and expectations that will increasingly spread through virtually all aspects of American life, from consumer preferences to housing patterns to politics.
Young and old converge on one key point: Overwhelming majorities of both groups said they believe it is harder for young people today to get started in life than it was for earlier generations. While younger people are somewhat more optimistic than their elders about the prospects for those starting out today, big majorities in both groups believe those “just getting started in life” face a tougher a good-paying job, starting a family, managing debt, and finding affordable housing.
Pete Schneider considers the climb tougher today. Schneider, a 27-yaear-old auto technician from the Chicago suburbs says he struggled to find a job after graduating from college. Even now that he is working steadily, he said.” I can’t afford to pay ma monthly mortgage payments on my own, so I have to rent rooms out to people to mark that happen.” Looking back, he is struck that his parents could provide a comfortable life for their?children even though neither had completed college when he was young. “I still grew up in an upper middle-class home with parents who didn’t have college degrees,” Schneider said. “I don’t think people are capable of that anymore.”

36 答案 B having a family with children

As adults,it seems that we are constantly pursuing happiness,often with mixed results.Yet children appear to have it down to an art-and for the most part they don't need self-help books or therapy.instead,they look after their wellbeing instinctively,and usually more effectively than we do as grownups.Perhaps it's time to learn a few lessons from them.
41.______________
What does a child do when he's sad? He cries.When he's angry?He shouts.Scared?Probably a bit of both.As we grow up,we learn to control our emotions so they are manageable and don't dictate our behaviours,which is in many ways a good thing.But too often we take this process too far and end up suppressing emotions,especially negative ones.that's about as effective as brushing dirt under a carpet and can even make us ill.What we need to do is find a way to acknowledge and express what we feel appropriately, and then-again like children-move.
42.____________
A couple of Christmases ago, my youngest stepdaughter, who was nine years old at the time, got a Superman T-shirt for Christmas. It cost less than a fiver but she was overjoyed, and couldn't stop talking about it.Too often we believe that a new job,bigger house or better car will be the magic silver bullet that will allow us to finally be content,but the reality is these things have very little lasting impact on our happiness levels. Instead, being grateful for small things every day is a much better way to improve wellbeing.
43.______________________
Have you ever noticed how much children laugh? If we adults could indulge in a bit of silliness and giggling, we would reduce the stress hormones in our bodies , increase good hormones like endorphins, improve blood flow to our hearts and even have a greater chance of fighting off enfection. All of which, of course, have a positive effect on happiness levels.
44.__________________
The problem with being a grown up is that there's an awful lot of serious stuff to deal with---work,mortgage payments,figuring out what to cook for dinner. But as adults we also have the luxury of being able to control our own diaries and it's important that we schedule in time to enjoy the things we love.Those things might be social,sporting,creative or completely random(dancing aroud the living room,anyone?)--it doesn't matter,so long as they're enjoyable, and not likely to have negative side effects,such as drinking too much alcohol or going on a wild spending spree if you're on a tight budget.
45.___________________
Having said all of the above, it's important to add that we shouldn't try too hard to be happy.Scientists tell us this can backfire and actually have a negative impact on our wellbeing. As the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu is reported to have said:"Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness."And in that,once more,we need to look to the example of our children,to whom happiness is not a goal but a natural by product of the way they live.

43. A 一句话呈现在第二句。问句以后，假如咱们能够“愚蠢“那么一点点，咱们将会有各种优点，对不对。那么这一段简直大段的篇幅都花在这一句上了，宗旨愈加显着那即是：去这么做吧。Be silly.
44.B 这一段讲到成人的国际里的确有太多让人烦恼的东西，But as adults we also have the luxury of being able to control our own diaries and it's important that we schedule in time to enjoy the things we love 享用自己喜爱的东西也是很首要的。接下来举比方，各种具体案例阐明那些咱们能够做的能够享用的工作，而且终究说出了他们的优点。早年往后一向再说咱们应当放松，享用。所以啊，在剩余的可挑选的选项中只需have funs比照适宜了。

The supermarket is designed to lure customers into spending as much time as possible within its doors. The reason for this is simple:The longer you stay in the store, the more stuff you'll see, and the more stuff you see, the more you'll buy. And supermarkets contain a lot of stuff. The average supermarket, according to the Food Marketing Institute, carries some 44,00 different items, and many carry tens of thousands more. The sheer volume of available choice is enough to send shoppers into a state of information overload. According to brain-scan experiments, the demands of so much decision-making quickly become too much for us. After about 40 minutes of shopping, most people stop struggling to be rationally selective, and instead begin shopping emotionally - which is the point at which we accumulate the 50 percent of stuff in our cart that we never intended buying.
超市旨在招引顾客尽也许长时刻的逗留在店中。其因素很简单：顾客在店里逗留的时刻越长，看到的产品越多；而看到的产品越多，买的就会越多。超市中出售许多的产品。依据食品推行协会的查询，通常的超市大概有44000种不一样的产品；还有许多超市出售的产品高达上万种。如此多的挑选足以使顾客面临超负荷的信息。依据脑部扫描实验，需求疾速的做这么多决议就会让咱们难以承受。大约在购物40分钟以后，大多人就不会再尽力做出理性的挑选了，取而代之的即是激动购物——而这时，咱们的购物车中现已装了一半根本就没想买的东西了。

如咱们所见，这是2016年英语二小作文标题。英语（二）考纲的写作有些，本来首要查询学生的使用才能，查询规模包含私人和公事信函、备忘录、陈述等，还应能写通常描绘性、叙述性和阐明或议论性的文章；而请求考生依据所给情形写出一篇约100词（标点符号不计算在内）的使用性短文。
作为写作B有些的小作文总分10分，咱们要捉住得分点。小作文在评分时有如下评分关键：1.信息点——掩盖全部；2.内容——安排连接；3.言语——准确性；4.格局——契合请求；5.语域——恰当。
预料之中，本年英语二的小作文再次查询了书信体，而且查询的函件能够说是杂糅型的。这在2011年英语二中呈现了相同的查询办法：
Suppose your cousin LI MING has just been admitted to a university write him/her a letter to：
（1）Congratulate him/her，and
（2）give him/her suggestions on how to get prepared for university life
You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2. DO not sign your own name at the end of the letter，Use zhangwei.
相同的查询办法，足以阐明一件工作——肯定要注重考研真题。教师们总在着重真题的首要性，好多同学不与注重，期望咱们以后必定要强化这种知道。
下面咱们来具体解读下本年的小作文，首要看一下标题请求：
称号： Dear Jack留意称号中，后边的逗号不行丢，也不能写成冒号。
正文
主张咱们三步走战略——简洁、直接、明晰：写作意图、写作是由、重申意图
榜首段：写作内容需包括两点：写信意图，标明谢谢来自兄弟的祝贺；能够采用这么的表达办法：I’m writing to express my gratitude for your congratulation on my success in the translation contest.
第二段： 写作内容应以主张为主体。在这个进程中能够把平时咱们怎么进步的办法写进正文，比方多加练习、多与外国人沟通，多多触摸国际事务等。本篇教师首要从这些方面进行论说，表达如下As regard to my experience, I would like to offer you some proposals in this part. First and foremost, I strongly suggest you that you need to practice with painstaking effort in this field. What’s more, you had better have more communication with foreigners, which guarantees that you have a deep understanding of foreign culture. Last but not least, you are supposed to participate in some international events to accumulate a wealth of practical experience.
第三段：再次着重重申写信意图，如Thanks again and I do hope you could take my suggestions into consideration. I wish you have good luck and make a great success in your future study.
落款： Yours sincerely, 格外提示sincerely后边逗号不能丢；签名： Li Ming格外留意 Ming 后边必定不能呈现句点。

某高校学生旅游意图查询
参阅例文：
As is clearly reflected in the above pie chart, the purpose of students travelling abroad demonstrates obvious differences in one college of China. According to the data given, the purpose of enjoying the beautiful landscape takes a comparatively large share, accounting for 37%, while that of relieving pressure also takes away 20% of the whole proportion.
What triggers this phenomenon? It is not difficult to put forward several factors responsible for this phenomenon. To start with, with the rapid economic development of economy, people, including college students, are becoming increasingly wealthy, which enables them to afford the once-deemed- expensive oversea traveling. In order to enjoy the charming landscape all around the world, a large proportion of students choose to travel abroad. What’s more, along with the ever-accelerating improvement of economy and society is also the ever-increasing work and life pressure. Consequently, the purpose of relieving pressure ranks the second among all the purposes for folks to travel around the world.
In view of the arguments above, we can conclude that the current phenomenon is of no surprise. And therefore, it can be predicted that admiring the scenery and alleviating pressure will still be the main purpose for people to arrange a traveling to other countries.
作文解析
本年英语二作文的标题比照好写，因为标题和图示十分清晰明白。图表显现了某高校学生旅游意图查询, 考生剖析因素的话也会很简单。下面分三段扼要地说一下这三段应当怎么写。
榜首段首要是描绘图表。图表一望而知，数量词百分比也是咱们了解的词汇，表述数据时，图中有四五组数据，因为字数的限制以及为了写作的便当能够突出较大份额的“赏识景色”和“减轻压力”，留意引进百分比的表达办法。
第二段给出你的评论，首要写这种状况的因素。首要要联系图表描绘的内容从两个方面写起。一方面为何为了赏识景色而游览的意图占37%， 另一方面为何减轻压力会占到33%份额。
终究结束阶段可扼要得出定论，这种现象并不古怪，还将继续下去。希望以上考研英语网校为您提供的真题解析，对大家有所帮助。
