英语作文 篇1
Its name in Arabic is Wadi Hitan but it is known as the Valley of the Whales.
For years palaeontologists have been unearthing a remarkable collection of whale fossils, all the more surprising because the area is now inland desert in upper Egypt.
It is believed that about 40 million years ago the area was submerged in water, part of the Tethys Sea. As the sea retreated north to the Mediterranean it left a series of unique rock formations and also a cornucopia of fossils.
One of the most exceptional finds was a 37 million-year-old whale from the species Basilosaurus isis, unearthed by a team led by Prof Philip Gingerich of the University of Michigan in the United States.
But now it has become the subject of a bizarre customs wrangle at Cairo airport.
Prof Gingerich explained that this was the only complete specimen from this species of whale.
It provides evidence of how whales evolved from being land-based creatures to go back into the sea - a reverse of the usual evolutionary process.
Basilosaurus isis retained tiny feet, a useless reminder of its evolution from land animal to sea-dweller.
The limbs are human sized, even though the creature is 15m-16m long.
For the past two years Prof Gingerich and his team have been painstakingly reassembling the skeleton back in Michigan. It is now being returned to Egypt for a new museum, planned for the Valley of the Whales.
But according to the Egyptian media the whale skeleton is stuck at Cairo airport.
Customs agents are demanding a $40,000 fee.
It is not clear how they came to that figure as prehistoric fossils have no agreed market value.
In any case the Egyptian authorities who are importing the fossil are refusing to pay.
A senior official from the ministry of tourism has warned that the issue needs to be resolved speedily, otherwise it could cause a "big scandal" for Egypt, he said.
Prof Gingerich joked that it had taken two-and-a-half years to be allowed to export the fossil to the United States, and it could take another two-and-a-half years to get it back.

英语作文 篇3
In recent years,the film “Hachiko—A Dog’s Story” has been very popular.It mainly shows an impressive story between a loyal dog and a professor.As far I am concerned,there are many things we can learn from the film.
To begin with,I believe that most people who have watched this film were moved by the dog’s loyalty.The dog has waited for his owner for a lifetime and hid loyal behavior has taught us never forget anyone we loved—the meaning of loyalty.We can learn that we should try to get along with each other with true affection and never betray in an intimated relationship so that we can strengthen our relationship and understand each other better.And we should believe that there is still a true affection in the world.

1.许多人喜欢在除夕夜观看春节晚会
2.但有些人提出取消春节晚会.
3.我的看法.
The approach of the Chinese Lunar New Year poses a national issue concerning the necessity of holding the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Its established status is being challenged by a growing number of people, especially by younger generations.
It is increasingly difficult to cater for all tastes。Some individuals deem that it should be canceled or replaced by other programs。 These young people focus their attention on other forms of celebration instead of immersing themselves in TV。 Despite that, the majority of mid-aged people and senior citizens uphold the importance of the traditional performance。 The most striking feature of this gala is its traditionally close link with ordinary people's lives。Most of people view this gala as an annual staple on the traditional Chinese Spring Festival Eve。 They all have a restless night and glue their eyes on the television。
I am not supportive of the view that the grand gala should be abandoned。 Undoubtedly, it plays a vital role in the celebration of Chinese New Year。 To increase its appeal and meet young adults' need, the upcoming performance should invite some big names including super stars from Hongkong and Taiwan。 We are all eagerly anticipating this unforgettable evening show。
点评:
本次四级考试作文总体上来说并不是很难。但表现出两个出人意料:一是体裁,二是题材。
对于体裁来说,本次四级作文属于正反对比论证类的文体。比较出人意料,又回到了老的考查模式。很多学生把考前死背的作文模板派上了用场。但是这只能得到最基本的分数。虽然模板对于考查学生的语言表达并不益处,但还能测试出考生的语言基本功。从四级考试写作的测试目的来看,还是注重考查学生对基本语法、基本词汇运用能力的掌握情况。所以除了模板之外,考生还要在基本表达上狠下功夫,只有在平时多操练,在考场上才游刃有余。除此之外,学生还要在作文中多采用闪光点,这样就会使作文在基本分数上有所提升,有所突破。
对于题材,本次四级作文的话题是关于人们对于春节晚会的不同看法,属于社会生活类话题,一反常态,没有再次考查校园类话题。但是对于当代大学生来说,与大学生有关的.社会话题也是需要关注的,这也说明考试方向的变化:校园类话题与社会热点话题同等重要,这一点对于未来考四级的学生的作文备考的方向有一定的指导意义。
