范文1

By the turn of the century the middle-class home in North American had been transformed “The flow of industry has passed and left idle the loom in the attic the soap kettle in the shed” Ellen Richards wrote in 1908. The urban middle class was now able to buy a wide array of food products and clothing-baked goods canned goods suits shirts shoes and dresses. Not only had household production waned but technological improvements were rapidly changing the rest of domestic work. Middle-class homes had indoor running water and furnaces run on oil coal or gas that produced hot water. Stoves were fueled by gas and delivery services provided ice for refrigerators. Electric power was available for lamps sewing machines irons and even vacuum cleaners. No domestic task was unaffected. Commercial laundries for instance had been doing the wash for urban families for decades; by the early 1900s the first electric washing machines were on the market.

One impact of the new household technology was to draw sharp dividing lines between women of different classes and regions. Technological advances always affected the homes of the wealthy first filtering downward into the urban middle class. But women who lived on farms were not yet affected by household improvements. Throughout the nineteenth century and well into the twentieth rural homes lacked running water and electric power. Farm women had to haul large quantities of water into the house from wells or pumps for every purpose. Doing the family laundry in large vats heated over stoves continued to be a full day's work just as canning and preserving continued to be seasonal necessities. Heat was provided by wood or coal stoves. In addition rural women continued to produce most of their families clothing. The urban poor similarly reaped few benefits from household improvements. Urban slums such as Chicago’s nineteenth ward often had no sewers garbage collection or gas or electric lines; and tenements lacked both running water and central heating. At the turn of the century variations in the nature of women’s domestic work were probably more marked than at anytime before.

范文2

Matching the influx of foreign immigrants into the larger cities of the United States during the late nineteenth century was a domestic migration from town and farm to city within the United States. The country had been overwhelmingly rural at the beginning of the century with less than 5 percent of Americans living in large towns or cities. The proportion of urban population began to grow remarkably after 1840 increasing from 11 percent that year to 28 percent by 1880 and to 46 percent by 1900. A country with only 6 cities boasting a population of more than 8 000 in 1800 had become one with 545 such cities in 1900. Of these 26 had a population of more than 100 000 including 3 that held more than a million people. Much of them igration producing an urban society came from smaller towns within the United States but the combination of new immigrants and old American"settlers" on America’s "urban frontier " in the late nineteenth century proved extra ordinary.

The growth of cities and the process of industrialization fed on each other. The agricultural revolution stimulated many in the countryside to seek a new life in the city and made it possible for fewer farmers to feed the large concentrations of people needed to provide aworkforce for growing numbers of factories. Cities also provided ready and convenient markets for the products of industry and huge contracts in transportation and construction-as well as the expanded market in consumer goods -allowed continued growth of the urban sector of the overall economy of the Untied States.

Technological developments further stimulated the process of urbanization. One example is the Bessemer converter (an industrial process for manufacturing steel) which provided steel girders for the construction of skyscrapers. The refining of crude oil into kerosene and later the development of electric lighting as well as of the telephone brought additional comforts to urban areas that were unavailable to rural Americans and helped attract many of them from the farms into the cities. In every era the lure of the city included a major psychological element for country people the bustle and social interaction of urban life seemed particularly intriguing to those raised in rural isolation.

Firstly to become a superhero is enough for each of us not to be callous not to close our eyes to the problems of society and the world. But not only activists can be called superheroes. In our society there is a category of real superheroes that nobody knows about superheroes of this category. These are those thanks to whom modern world lives and thrives.

Secondly to become a superhero I need to give life and soul to children trying to raise decent people out of them. Furthermore overcoming laziness egoism greed and thirst for profit I can help the world and society to flourish and I will put a part of my soul in the favorite works and therefore in the whole of human civilization. It is enough just to learn to see the useful and the good not only in monumental acts and events but also in everyday life in that things that each of us does everyday.

1. I shall never forget the day______ Shen Zhou V was launched ________has a great effect on my life.

数学试题

总结：这两题都是以正方形为基础图形。

第一题考查平行线与正方形对角线的性质，首先看到正方形对角线就要知道对角线将正方形的顶角平分，其次对于平行线的三线八角要非常熟练，最后还考查了等腰直角三角形的斜边与直角边的关系。

第二题反复考查了三角形的全等的判定，在判定全等三角形时要特别注意利用正方形顶角为90度以及正方形边长相等，这些知识非常基础，题目中不会单独给出，在条件多的情况下大家很容易忘记这些隐含信息。最后还考查的相似三角形。

面试语法

英语面试部分通常会包含两个问题：

1. 对已知开头的故事进行续编

2. 介绍或者描述一个事物（如排球运动、冰球运动等）

故事续编考察了学生的英语表达能力和思维扩展能力。学生在回答这类问题时要注意故事的逻辑连贯性以及故事所传递的积极向上的意义。

Sample Question：Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city.

Sample Answer 1:

Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city.

However they had never come to each other’ s home. After many years the City mouse went to visit the Country mouse. What he saw was desolate fields and shabby rooms. Even the foods were covered with dust which made the City mouse uncomfortable. So he did not stay a few minutes before he went back to the city with the country mouse to show him the sights of his home.

As expected the city was magnificent with tall buildings and wide streets. Suddenly a cat jumped out of the corner and they ran like crazy. Finally they fled to the countryside and got away from the cat. The country mouse sighed: “I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole inthe field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy than to be rich and afraid.”

对于描述类话题，学生既要介绍它是什么、有什么特征，并用实例来支撑；也要适时地加入与之相关的生活经历使回答更加丰富。

Sample Question：Can you describe what is cheese?

Sample Answer 2：

Cheese is a fermented milk product with rich nutritional value. It is avery popular food in many cultures.

For example cheese features heavily in both French and Italian cuisines. Indeed even India cuisine although not known for its use of diary products cheese features in the form of paneer. Half of all Italians would not consider eating a meal that did not contain cheese and nearly 10% of the GDP of France comes from cheese taxation.

I have traveled widely and eaten in many exotic locations; in all of them some kind of cheese appeared onthe menu. The popularity of cheese could be due to its being a good way of preserving milk when there was an abundance of this commodity. Equally it could be due to the fact that cheese is delicious!
