TranslationA recent phenomenon in the choice of careers on the part of college graduates is the increasing trend towards big companies. Few are interested in research fields. This is an unavoidable problem in a materialistic society where tempting salaries and fringe benefits are offered by big companies. All this has not only seriously influenced young people's view on the choice of careers but on education as well. Many college teachers deplore that fewer and fewer students these days acquire knowledge only for its own sake.[分析] (1)翻译中应注意几个短语的使用:the increasing trend towards; an unavoidable problem;for its own sake.(2)并列成分是考查重点Unit 2Typescripts for Listening ComprehensionSection A1.

Social networking websites function like an online community of internet users. Many of these online community members share common interests in hobbies, religion, orpolitics. Once you are granted access to a social networking website you can begin to socialize. This socialization may include reading the self-introduction pages of other members and possibly even contacting them.The friends that you can make are just one of the many benefits to social networking online. Another one of those benefits includes diversity (多样化) because the internet gives individuals from all around the world access to social networking sites. This means that although you are in the United States, you could develop an online friendship with someone in Denmark or India. Not only will you make new friends, but you just might learn about new cultures or new languages and learning is always a good thing.As mentioned, social networking often involves grouping specific individuals or organizations together. However, a traditional social networking website has no main focus and usually has open memberships. This means that anyone can become a member, no matter what their hobbies, beliefs, or views are. However, once you are inside this online community, you can begin to create your own network of friends and eliminate members that do not share common interests or goals.( 239 words )19.
