One possible version（一）

Dear Jim,

I’m happy to hear from you and eage r to give you my suggestion.

I would like to recommend paper cutting to you, which is one of our most popular traditional folk arst. The subject of the paper cutting is usually based on real life, for example, about historical people, animals, plants, flowers, and folk tales. Patterns of most paper-cuts are simple and clear, yet elegant and expressive with vibrant colors. They can fully reflect the life of ordinary people. The color most frequently used in paper cutting is red, which symbolizes health and prosperity.

Paper cuttings are very popular among Chinese people who like to use them to decorate their doors, rooms and windows to add more joyous atmosphere during the Spring festival or wedding celebrations etc. From the understanding of the paper cutting, you can understand other forms of Chinese folk arts easily. So I highly recommend paper cutting to you.

If you want to know more about it, contact me.

Yours

Experiencing the Silk Road

Our annual study tour finally came. When Ms.Wang informed us that we were going to experience the Silk Road this time , everybody in our class clapped his or her hands excitedly with great joy.

I am very interested in history and the Silk Road has always fascinated me. Travelling by train with my classmates, I surfed the Internet about the history of the Silk Road whose route begins at Chang’an(now Xian) reaching to Dunhuang, Gansu province in China. The road is not only an ancient international trade route, but also a splendid cultural bridge

After a few hours, we arrived at Xi'an. Our first stop was Dayan Pagoda, the landmark of Xi’an. From our tour guide, we l earnt a lot about the history of Dayan Pagoda and the great monk, Xuanzang, who once lived there after returning from India. Then we went on to Gansu province and visited the Mogao Caves. Impressed by the grand construction, we took many photos. The tour guide introduced the wall paintings to us in great detail. With curiosity, we listened attentively, asking questions and taking notes.

The journey soon drew to its close. When I sat at my desk looking back on this great experience. I found that this trip w asn’t just a scenic journey. It helped me understand the history of the area and see how people from different places influenced each other in many ways. I feel proud of this ancient road!

2018届上海各区高三英语一模——summary汇编

【2018宝山区—一模】 IV. Summary Writing Secure payment without leaving a trace Computer scientist Andy Rupp, member of the “Signaling Code and Security” working group, is always surprised about lacking problem awareness: only few users are aware of the fact that by using payment systems they disclose in detail how and what they consume or which routes they have taken. To prevent control of the accounts by dishonest users, customer data and account balances of payment are usually carried out with the help of a central database. In every payment deal, the customer is identified and the details of her/his deal are transmitted to the central database. This repeated identification process produces a data trace that might be misused by the provider or third parties. The expert has now presented the basics of an “electronic purse” that works by unknown names, but prevents misuse at the same time. The “black-box addition plus” (BBA+) code system developed by them transfers all necessary account data to the card used or the smartphone and guarantees their secrets with the help of signaling code methods. At the same time, BBA+ offers security guarantees for the operator of the payment system: The code system guarantees a correct account balance and is mathematically constructed such that the identity of the user is disclosed as soon as the attempt is made to pay with a controlled account. “Our new code system guarantees privacy and security for customers during offline operation as well,” Andy Rupp says. “This is needed for ensuring the payment system’s suitability for daily use. Think of a subway doorway or a payment bridge. There you may have no internet connection at all or it is very slow.” Also its high efficiency makes the code system suited for everyday use: During first test runs, researchers completed payments within about one second. ①when customers use payment systems, most of them don’t realize the fact that by doing so, they risk( take the risk of ) losing privacy. ②Researchers have now developed a secure system called BBA+, which works anonymously and avoids misuses as well. ③moreover ( apart from / besides the security of privacy), it also proves to be efficient for daily use.(47 words) 【2018—崇明区一模】 IV.
