Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m a student in the university and a loyal reader of this library. I’m writing to tell some of my ideas, which I hope to be helpful for you.
I notice that many magazines in our library are out of date. It would be beneficial to us students if they could be updated in time. And I suggest introducing some new journals so as to bring new fresh air to the library. Furthermore, since we have a huge number of books, it is not easy to find the right one easily. However, if we can introduce some new searching means, such as implementing new information management system that would be useful.
Thank you for taking time reading this letter and I’m looking forward to seeing some new changes soon.
Sincerely Yours,
Li Ming

Then mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET 1 by blackening thecorresponding letter in the brackets with a pencil. (40 points)Passage 1Specialisation can be seen as a response to the problem of an increasing accumulation ofscientific knowledge. By splitting up the subject matter into smaller units， one man could continueto handle the information and use it as the basis for further research. But specialisation was onlyone of a series of related developments in science affecting the process of communication.Another was the growing professionalisation of scientific activity.No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professionals and amateurs in science:exceptions can be found to any rule. Nevertheless, the word “amateur” does carry a connotationthat the person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and, in particular,may not fully share its values. The growth of specialisation in the nineteenth century, with itsconsequent requirement of a longer, more complex training, implied greater problems for amateurparticipation in science. The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science basedespecially on a mathematical or laboratory training, and can be illustrated in terms of thedevelopment of geology in the United Kingdom.A comparison of British geological publications over the last century and a half reveals notsimply an increasing emphasis on the primacy of research, but also a changing definition of whatconstitutes an acceptable research paper. Thus, in the nineteenth century, local geological studiesrepresented worthwhile research in their own right; but, in the twentieth century, local studies haveincreasingly become acceptable to professionals only if they incorporate, and reflect on, the widergeological picture. Amateurs, on the other hand, have continued to pursue l、ocal studies in the oldway. The overall result has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder foramateurs, a result that has been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing, first bynational journals in the nineteenth century and then by several local geological journals in thetwentieth century. As a logical consequence of this development, separate journals have nowappeared aimed mainly towards either professional or amateur readership. A rather similar proces

Dear Mr. Wang,
I very much regret I was unable to attend your English class next Friday.
As you may know, we senior students have been busy looking for jobs since the beginning of this semester. Luckily, I have got an opportunity to be interviewed by a well-known large public company, which I have longed to enter. Unfortunately, the interview is scheduled for next Friday. I really don’t want to miss this valuable chance, so I have to ask for leave. I know mid-term exam is approaching, and next Friday’s class is important. In order to make up for it, I will ask a classmate to copy your PPT and take notes for me. I will study them carefully and hand in all the homework on time.
I shall be very much obliged if you can approve my application. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by my absence.
Yours sincerely,
