第1题：
问答题With computers, people can now shop, bank, work and communicate from the home. The danger is that people could become isolated from each other and lose social skills which help them to get along with others. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Write a composition of about 400 words to discuss this topic.正确答案：
In this computer-oriented era, people can do practically everything while still at home. They can do their shopping online, pay bills online, chat online and even work online. In the light of this phenomenon, many fear that this way of tackling things might lead to social isolation, and further to the loss of men's ability to co-exist with one another in society. Personally, however, I don't agree with this view, and it is my firm belief that not only will the Internet bring the world closer together, it will enable men to co-exist better—in the cyberspace, a worldwide community.
First, unsurprisingly, computers and modems have transformed the world into a global village. Messages are sent instantly around the world via the Internet; a bargain is made between a gentleman in Russia and a lady in Argentina; and students studying abroad send voice mails to their loved ones at home, again by using the computer. Indeed, in this fast-paced world, it is impossible to conduct every social contact in a face-to-face manner. Therefore, it is only too natural that efficient online communication is partly taking the place of the time-consuming personal encounter. And why not? This online way of life has helped people on this planet to communicate better, and the fear that people could become isolated from each other in the virtual world is groundless.
At the same time, even if the Internet ensures better social communication, actual social contact is still necessary: Not all business can be handled online, and perfect good will can not be achieved while the parties concerned are far apart. As a matter of fact, the Internet has made people realize the need for contact in actual social settings. Furthermore, communication in the cyberspace and that in the actual world can be complementary to each other-- each shining more brilliantly in the other's company. Sometimes it is fast and efficient to communicate online, while at other times people find it better to communicate in the actual world. Given this, people's ability to co-exist with one another has actually been enhanced, I would say, in this IT era.
In conclusion, the computer and the Internet have brought human relations closer than ever before. To better adapt to this high-tech world, one should master the basic skills of the computer, for one' own sake as well as for the sake of a better and happier co-existence with others.解析：

问答题Task Ⅱ (20 points) Instructions: Nowadays some university students think they should study further after graduation and then find a job. Do you agree with this or not? State your opinion in 160-180 words, writing your answer on the Answer Sheet.正确答案：
Further Study after Graduation Nowadays the employment of undergraduate students is not so positive, which is partly a result of the world financial crisis. In order to relieve the pressure of employment after graduation, more and more university students think they should study further after graduation and then find a job. I agree with the idea of studying further after graduation for three reasons.
First of all, postgraduate study satisfies the desire of studying a subject in more depth and taking the first step in becoming an academic. To be an academic is also an attractive career.
Second, studying further after graduation for another two or three years may help us relieve the pressure of employment during the world financial crisis. In my opinion, two or three years later, the world financial crisis will be subsided down and the economy will begin to recover. Therefore seeking a job at that time will not be so hard as right now.
What’s more, to do a master degree is to qualify ourselves for a specific career, and to help us stand out from the crowd when applying for jobs. Even if a postgraduate qualification isn’t required for the job we want to do, it can still be a way of standing out in a competitive job market.
In all, if possible, to study further after graduation and then find a job will be a good decision for most university students right now.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题In this section, you are asked to write a composition on “Competition in a Modern Society” with no less than 140 words. Your composition should be based on the following outline given in English. 1．Some people believe that it is very necessary to encourage competition in a modern society. 2．Other people think that it is not necessary, especially in our society. 3．Your comments on these two views, and give examples to support your opinion.正确答案：
Competition in a Modern Society In the fast developing society where everything seems to move at a very quick pace, competition seems to be inevitable. Some people believe that it is very necessary to encourage competition in a modern society. I completely agree with this opinion. Because competition will help promote the society and help remove what is backward.
Other people think that competition is not necessary, especially in our society. I can understand their worry, but I can’t support this view. They are worrying that competition will bring about unemployment, bankruptcy and social disorder. But I believe these phenomena are just temporary, and in the long run, competition will make the society a better and more efficient place to live in.
I strongly believe that competition is necessary in our society. With competition, our market is lively, and efficiency will be improved. A good example is the TV production. As there is severe competition in TV manufacturing, and the price of a TV set continues to drop while the quality gets better and better. Customers have benefited much from the competition.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 5 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing. What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Today, more and more countries are experiencing a situation where their citizens are becoming heavier, less fit, and more unhealthy. The causes of this are clear, and there are many possible solutions. I shall look at the causes and a couple of possible solutions in this essay.
In almost all cases, the causes of increased weight are excessive eating and/or lack of exercise. If a person eats more calories than they use, they will certainly gain weight. If they do not exercise enough, this weight gain will become fat and too much fat results in health problems such as obesity and depression. The solutions, therefore, are simple enough—to convince people to consume fewer calories and/or exercise more.
This is easier said than done. Nowadays, more and more people have access to an increasing amount of food. Many people prefer food that is high in calories—perhaps because they think it tastes better or because it is faster and more convenient. One way of getting them to eat fewer calories can be to show them tastier dishes quickly prepared with lower calories.
Another solution is to have people do more exercise, so that the calories eaten are less of a problem. This could be done by reducing the cost of keeping fit and by creating better infrastructure. Financing sports and exercise facilities could be pricey, but there are long-term savings as well as benefits if people are healthier as a result. If every neighbourhood had easily accessible sports and exercise facilities, people would be able to use them much more often.
In conclusion, there are two main causes of weight increase and there are several possible solutions to tackle it.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Directions:Write a composition of no less than about 160 words, giving your views on the following question: Should companies give men and women equal opportunities to have time off work to look after their children?正确答案：
Concerning the topic of roles that men and women play in looking after their children, I hold the opinion that companies should give both equal opportunities to have time off work to do this job. I’ve got the following reasons to support my point of view.
Firstly, both parents should be encouraged to take an active part in looking after their children. It is the parents’ responsibility to protect and take care of the children. It is unfair to leave this burden all on women. Second, the children can develop all-round abilities under the caring of both father and mother. The father can teach them to be brave, strong-willed and open-minded, while the mother can help them be more considerate and kind-hearted. Third, if the men can also get time off work and attend to the children, the society can be more harmonious. Not only would the family benefit from this flexibility, but also would the whole society. In this way, employees get a lighter mood and the working efficiency in turn can be lifted.
To conclude, it is an inevitable part of social change. And this change can bring advantages to both the families and the society as a whole.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 8Directions: You are asked to write a composition in about 150 words and you should base your composition on the information given in English below: Some people criticize the students who invited their friends to dinners when they got their scholarship. They say that students should save scholarships for future studies, not just invite friend to dinners. 1. Do you agree with the people? 2. Give at least two reasons to support your idea.正确答案：
【参考范文】
Scholarships Can Be Used for Fun I don’t agree with those who holds that the scholarships should be saved for future studies, since spending scholarship having fun with friend is also a good choice.
Firstly by going to dinner together you can enjoy some happy time with your friends. The enlarged enrollment of university students results in fierce stresses and competition. Every day we students are driven to struggle for a happy and bright future like industrious donkeys and consequently have little time to enjoy the gentle perfume of friendship. But we are all human beings. We need not only successes in study, but also emotional contacts. How to satisfy this need? A little get-together of friends will do. Communication and mutual understanding can be derived from eating and drinking. So spending scholarships on dinner is not a bad idea.
Secondly, having fun with your friends can reduce the stress that most college students encounter. College life is competitive and stressful, so many student suffer from sleeping or eating disorders. When you have dinner with your friends, you laugh, chat and get nutrients at the same time. It is good for both your mental and physical health, so why not do it?
In a word, friendship and health are more important than money. So I will choose the former.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 6 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: News media is more influential nowadays. Some people think it is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
As a social member, few of us can avoid the overwhelming influence of news media, through which we can get full information of the outside world efficiently. Some believe that news media have positive impact, but others disagree. Personally, I believe that news media contribute much more than people realize.
There is no doubt that some people or institutions try to mislead the public by making up fake news for the sake of private interests. But this situation only appears on a few occasions and most mainstream media are still reliable when providing genuine information constantly, through which we can know the latest policy or big events going on, so news media have more positive impacts obviously.
Positive sides can be manifested from three aspects. To begin with, it is one of the most important ways to spread information in modem society efficiently. In other words, news media update their information not by the day, but the minute or even the second. Moreover, from those news media, people can not only judge trends by reviews of the public but also receive useful advice from specialists and experts, which will be of benefit to making decisions. Most importantly, it is the news media that establish a platform, on which laymen and experts get chances of equal communication. Without it, there will always be a gap between the decision makers and the public.
To sum up, news media are more than a way of spreading information in modern society, as they provide people with a window to outer world and a forum of communication which enables everyone to participate in the Information Age.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 4 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Money for postgraduate research is limited. Therefore some people think that financial support from governments should only be provided for scientific research rather than research for less useful subjects. Do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
It is known to all that postgraduate research plays a vital role in advance of various subjects. However, the investment is so limited that many people maintain that the government should only support the scientific ones which are useful so that greater profits can be generated. Personally, I can not agree with this view.
No one can question the importance of scientific research as it is closely related with our living standard and earns great advantage for a nation. However, if only science was emphasized, the society would lose balance. More essentially, it is hard to distinguish “useful” from “useless.”
In order to solve this problem, the government can take action from at least three aspects: First, the government should collect more funds via legislative rules or it can employ some companies to do so. Taxation and investment can be strong supports to school research. Second, the research laboratories should and have to use fund distributed efficiently and effectively. Although the government has the obligation to support their researches, they can never waste the money on private expenditures. Last but not the least, the government as the macro leader, it should not judge the value of something in a short-sighted view. Subjects which are seemingly useless at the present stage probably have great potential in the future.
To sum up, it is an inevitable obligation to invest money in doing research for college students and staff. And the government should treat all subjects equally without narrow minds.解析： 暂无解析 -

Typically, an effective essay will contain a minimum of 300 words. Your response will be scored on:·whether your opinion is supported with reasons and/or examples·grammar,·vocabulary, and·organization.Practice 1Directions: Read the question below. You have 30 minutes to plan, write, and revise your essay. Typically, an effective response will contain a minimum of 300 words.Some people believe that hard work is the only way to be successful. Other people believe that success comes from luck. Which do you agree with and why?正确答案： (1)
In my opinion, I believe hard work is the most important element to be successful. The meaning of success varies for different people. As for me, success is being financially well off and being emotionally happy as well. And hard work is the gateway to success.
The main reason why people are successful is to work hard. A hard worker is able to follow directions from superior, act in obedience to the orders given to him. And in most cases, works set goals for themselves. But the difference that sets hard workers apart from regular workers is hard workers make any effort to accomplish their objectives. Hard workers are well aware of their goal and do not stop until they achieve it. Consequently, success is due to those who truly work hard.
A good example of this is Tiger Woods. He is a person who has been extremely successful. Maybe he possesses some natural talent, but in fact, he spent a tot of time and efforts on practicing, and finally became an excellent golfer. He did not just rely on luck one day and win a championship in a tournament. It is the years of dedication and hard work he put into golf that leads to his success. Natural talent can only get you to the entrance of the field.
Hard work provides consistent or sustained power to become success too, because people do not necessarily depend on chance factors, such as luck. Hard work is something people work at doing. They are in the process of pursuing success instead of relying on luck to give them a break. If success is the goal for a hard worker then they will achieve it, and they will be sure to. Their hard work will lead them there.
(2)
At one time I regarded hard work as more important than luck, but now I think chance is of the great importance for success. Luck, or chance, comes about not by design but accidentally. It is the reason why many unqualified people are successful. This success, from the financial perspective, is a matter of chance.
In the movie industry, a lot of actors and models were discovered by chance or owing to some type of luck in many countries around the world. Some of the situations might be that they were sitting next to an agent or a director at lunch, or when they were walking down the street. Someone spotted them. Under Such circumstances, these people were picked out because they happened to be next to the one who could help promote them into a better career and situation. They may then have successful careers and make a lot of money just because of one chance lucky meeting. They were lucky indeed.
Assuming a real world situation. A man owns a restaurant, and he works hard every day to run his business, but the result turns to be that he does not make much money. One day, he gets a call for a special food delivery order. His employee delivers the food to the customer, who is the owner of another large restaurant chain. The franchise owner especially enjoys the food, hence he offers the man a deal that the man is invited to join in the restaurant chain. Then, the man, who was struggling, becomes successful. It was very lucky for the man that the chain restaurant owner tries the food; as a result, he gets the opportunity to achieve success. I believe a lot of people work hard, but do not benefit from luck. Though they do a great job at work and try their very best. If they do not happen to have a certain lucky situations, they may never be successful.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题At present, people obtain most of their information from news reporting. However, some people think that we should not believe what journalists report. What is your opinion? What qualities do you think a journalist should have? Write a composition of about 400 words on this topic. In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.正确答案：
Currently, news reporting is one of the major channels by which people become informed of various affairs around the globe. However, some people believe that the journalists who furnish the reports do not deserve any trust. For my part, I agree to this viewpoint for the following reasons.
Firstly, many journalists fabricate sensational incidents in order to make themselves eye-catching and prominent. Reporters, like many people in other occupations, now feel the fierce competition in their own circle. Consequently, some of them, to survive the competition, deliberately exaggerate or whitewash certain matters to gain the upper hand over their colleagues. Their reports are certainly not dependable.
Secondly, some journalists will say anything to flatter a certain enterprise, as long as they are given a considerable sum of money by the owner of the enterprise in question. Such news people have no respect for their own profession, and will doubtlessly win no trust from their readers.
Thirdly, if a journalist works for a profit-bent mass media, he will find furnishing sensational news stories a must. To increase the circulation of the newspaper or magazine which they work for, or to lure more viewers and listeners for the broadcasting organization where they earn a salary, they have to write something that can attract people. If they want to reach this goal quickly, they find it necessary to make up some parts of their reports or simply invent a news story, which can help them to stir a sensation among people. As the circulation gets bigger, or more people tune in their programs, more advertisers will come. That means a greater profit for their bosses and a higher income for themselves.
Last but not least, some newspersons have no idea of the rule that news should be based rigorously on facts. Sometimes they just pick up some interesting hearsay. And then their active imaginations are brought to bear, so that a touching or enchanting story is mistaken for news. This kind of story can be an entertainment, but can never be taken as something true happening in the world.
All in all, many news reports cannot be counted upon. However, if reporters or journalists strictly abide by their professional requirements and nurture professional qualities, namely being honest, righteous, insightful, and farsighted, and having a strong sense of justice and social responsibility, readers and reporters will have more mutual trust, and the world will surely be a better place.解析：

问答题Practice 1 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Some teachers think it is effective for students to study in a group while others think it is better to study alone. What are the benefits of each study method and which one do you think is more effective? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
As for choosing a better way of learning, some people believe that group learning is efficient in many aspects, while, others, on the contrary, think that individual learning can be give big harvests. Personally, both sides of the issue should be taken into consideration as follows.
The benefits of teamwork can be illustrated from two aspects: For one thing, the solidarity and power of a team can not be compared with by only an individual, which makes it possible the accomplishment of more advanced and tougher missions And at the same time, one can learn the good points which they do not have from their partners. For the other thing, it is also significant for people to improve their communicative skills in learning and social activities. Apparently, interpersonal relationships are among the most important ones in people's daily activities. At the same time, group learning means more people are sharing the fees, which can lower the ecomic burden of students. Anyhow, abtaining an equal chance to pursue education is of fundamental importance.
When it comes to learning individually, however, also two main benefits should be manifested: Firstly, it cultivates one's independence step by step. In other words, one tries to explore what he wants to learn through learning and thinking individually. Moreover, if one has to accomplish a project all by himself, it will be definitely necessary for him to devote himself to studying without any disruptions. With preoccupation, he may discover something new, besides discovering knowledge already existing, which is superior to group learning.
To sum up, both group and individual learning are essential to students. The ways vary from person to person based on one’s own demands and desires of learning. To solve this problem more efficiently and effectively, governments and experts should consider over this issue more insightfully and prudently.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 7 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Most countries want to improve standard of living through economic development; however, others think social value is lost as a result. Do you think the advantages of economic development outweigh the disadvantages? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
The prosperous economy ushers the new era of modern life style, which greatly uplift the living standard of human beings. However, material improvements come at a cost of the core values of the society, which rapidly become outdated and even go extinct in spite of financial prosperity. Neither of these two sides, however, should be neglected.
There is no doubt that economic advance does benefit citizens as well as the society as a whole. For one thing, it may help complete infrastructure in public places such as parks, hospitals, schools, and the mass transit system, all of which provide citizens with more choices and greater convenience, The more basic facilities the local government provides, the higher living conditions people will enjoy free of charge. For another, thanks to the economic boom, after material demands are fulfilled, people have spare strength and energy to pursue spiritual satisfaction. In other words, the great development of economy makes spiritual pursuits possible in reality.
However, it is not that easy to maintain social value at the same time with economic boom. Once people pay more attention to one side, the scale will tilt. First of all, due to the increasing of money-oriented values in society, people may become isolated from each other in order to pursue profits individually. It is not unusual to see that friends and relatives go separate ways for one simple reason: interest. Second, the irreversible destruction in society is nothing but moral deficiency and scarcity of trust. Without morality and trust, people might do anything to manage to run after the highest profits. More severely, they may even set traps for their companions or take part in a conspiracy rather than help them to earn money.
In conclusion, society needs more morality and correct values, which is more important than unbridled economic development. To accomplish this, the government and experts should pursue a sustainable policy without wavering.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 6 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Some people believe that these environmental problems are too big for individuals to deal with, while others think that individuals should take some action. Discuss both views and give your opinion. You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Nowadays, environmental protection has become an urgent task, and who should take the responsibility or more responsibility? Some experts believe that as long as all the citizens take actions on to protect the environment, could the pollution problem be solved. On the contrary, others think that some problems are too big for citizens and the government should take the duty. Personally, the two sides can not be separated.
There are at least three things which are within individual’s reach: Firstly, developing green habits is contributing to the environment. It is a good one to conserve nonrenewable resources in daily routines. Not only should people make full use of the nonrenewable resources but also try to use some alternative ones. Secondly, it is fashionable for young people to follow the new trend called the low-carbon lifestyle. The idea of “low carbon” is to complete daily routines without discharging much waste. Lastly, people can also enhance the green awareness day by day as the society makes progress. If people have environmental-friendly values, they will protect the local surroundings without deliberate reminders.
Individuals, however, can not do everything as their capabilities are limited. Firstly, as for some huge constructions like dams or power stations, it is impossible for individuals to build or even think about them out of the restriction of funds and labors. Furthermore, individuals do not have force to stop illegal damages to the environment. Only if the legislative authorities draw up and put into practice relevant laws can citizens have rules to obey and can the destroyers be punished based on legal grounds. Lastly, citizens can only realize the importance on their own, but there is little chance to popularize these ideas to the public, so the media should make more effort by designing a theme TV program about eco-protection for the general public to have a full awareness of eco-protection.
As is mentioned above, protecting the local environment is the obligation for both individuals and the government. The government should make more efforts and build a platform on which citizens can have the chance to make some contributions.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People are never satisfied with what they have; they always want something more or something different. Write a composition of about 400 words to state your view on the issue.正确答案：
Satisfaction is only a temporary feeling of being content, for human desire, stimulated by both physical and mental needs, connects with changes in our world, our society and ourselves. It is true that people are never satisfied with what they have in the long run and they always want something more or something different. This unsatisfactory perception, together with the desire for something more or different, exists perpetually for three major reasons.
First of all, the continuous emergence of new products constantly motivates people's desire to get things new and different for better. For example, people replace their computers with new ones that are quicker in speed and more in functions long before their machines get worn-out. This happens as a result of the rapid development of science and technology that enables improved computers and softwares to come out into the market at a much faster speed than the speed for a computer to get old. Nobody will not be satisfied with iphone4 when iphone5 appears. People are always longing for something new and better.
Secondly, people's improvement in financial status invites their dissatisfaction with what they have. A good example of this is the purchase of a newer house on a better location with a nicer view when one has saved enough or when one gets a raise knowing that paying back a mortgage is not a problem. From this perspective, people's dissatisfaction goes along with the development of economy.
Finally, the vanity to keep up with the neighbors and friends also spark off people's dissatisfaction with what they have. A car is originally meant to be a means of transportation. However, there are people who trade in their nice cars for a Benz, BMW, Volvo or a Luxury simply because their friends or neighbors drive these makes. When food is no longer a problem, people began to pursue a life of high quality.
Superficially, people's endless discontents with what they have sounds greedy and unpleasant. But it is, in fact, this discontent of our humans' that pushes our society to continuously create things new and different to meet people's desire.解析：

问答题Scientific and technological advances have improved our daily lives. However, in many fields scientists cannot solve the problems they have created themselves. Do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Give your reasons. Write a composition of about 400 words on this topic.正确答案：
Scientific and technological advances have, admittedly, improved people's daily lives and dramatically changed the way people live. People nowadays actually owe a great debt to the inventors who have pushed forward the development of science and technology. However, I am a strong believer in the claim that scientists in many fields cannot solve the problems they have created themselves, for the following reasons :
The creation of a new scientific and technological product is a purely academic matter, but its application may be affected by political, historical and military factors. For example, the original purpose of cloning was simply scientific—to change undesirable genes at the embryo stage, and to alleviate pain and illness of the patients. However, some people with ulterior motives may take advantage of this technique to clone human genes. This is sure to cause serious moral uncertainty and chaos for the human race. The inventors of cloning might have never imagined that the technology is now used for dishonorable purposes, and they can only rely on the government to prohibit human cloning by enforcing strict laws.
Sometimes it is impossible for researchers and scientists to predict the future application of the product they are working on. Atomic energy is a case in point. Its study and research are conducted with the aim of saving the world's limited energy resources and optimizing the use of current energy sources, such as water. Yet people are saddened by the news that atomic technology is used to manufacture dangerous weapons for the purpose of threatening or even destroying other countries and innocent people. For example, to retaliate Japan's attack on its Pearl Harbour, the United States dropped two atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, causing huge mortality and destruction, which were absolutely never dreamed by the scientists who invented the weapon. And once it was put into military use, the inventors could do nothing to change the fearful result.
In conclusion, scientists in many fields find themselves helpless when it comes to controlling the application of the technology they have labored so hard to produce and to solve the problems they have created.解析：

问答题Some people believe that a college or university education should be available to all students. Others believe that higher education should be available only to good students. Which view do you agree with and why?正确答案：
Most universities require the completion of a secondary, or high school education for admission. They also require proof of academic performance to guarantee that the student has the knowledge and skills needed to successfully complete their higher education. I believe that if a student has a poor academic record through their primary and secondary education,they should not be allowed to attend university.
In the first place, a university education should be considered a privilege, not a right. A consistent effort must be made through the first two lower stages of a person’s education in order for them to earn the right to study in university. When I was in high school, I saw many students skip class regularly to shop, smoke drugs, or just because they “didn’t feel like” going to class. The obvious result was low grades. These students were all at least 17 or 18 years old, old enough to understand the value of their education. However, they did not value their secondary education and therefore,in my opinion, should not have the opportunity to study in university.
In the second place, because education is cumulative, a student must work consistently through primary and secondary school to master facts and establish a foundation of knowledge in order to meet the demanding academic requirements of university courses. In primary and secondary school, students have the opportunity to develop their writing skills and analytical abilities, both essential to learn to cope with the challenges of higher learning. For students without the appropriate skills,success is unlikely. One university I attended published statistics showing a 50% dropout rate for first year students; the main reason listed was that the students were unprepared for the rigor of university life.
In the third place, the limited educational resources at present in China make it almost impossible to provide every student with a college or university education. This means that students have to fight for their admission to the colleges and universities. As long as the present competition for higher education goes, it is not realistic to talk about letting every student have higher education. Competition for a successful walk through the single—plank bridge of college entrance examination is the most fair way to determine that privilege to higher education in China.
Many people take their education for granted. In my high school, most people only needed to make a little effort to maintain an A or B average, but there were still many people who weren’t willing to make any effort at all. I am sure that these people without proven track records should not, have the privilege of attending university’ especially when higher education resources are not abundant.解析：

问答题◆Topic 7：TV—the Pandora’s Box to Children? Questions for Reference: 1) Some people think children’s spending time on TV and video is good, while others think it is bad. Discuss both views. 2) Give your own opinion about this issue. 3) What can we do to ensure the TV and video make a positive effect on our children?正确答案： 【参考答案】
It is true that a lot of children, from below 3 to high school, would like to spend time in watching a range of TV programs and videos. One of the most obvious reasons for this is that these are so attractive, vivid and touching our lives that the children who are curious cannot resist their temptation at all.
Some people, especially the parents, argue that this is very damaging. They probably begin by pointing out that their children who are limited in self-control and self-principle will easily take too much time in watching instead of being back to study after doing for a short while. In addition to this, it is well aware that the amount of violence and unhealthy pictures are filled with videos for some reasons. When children who are still simple watch too much amount without any correct guidance, some of them will easily break the laws in the realistic world by imitating the details of crimes.
However, others who disbelieve watching TV or video is bad claim that TV programs and the amount of videos can fully help children understand outside world or relax their stressful brains after intense study. Obviously, those who often watch TV have a wider range of knowledge and better understandings to our society than those who do not. All of this is beneficial to children’s growth and their future social life.
Overall, I would like to say that watching TV or videos are necessary for children who need knowledge and information, but the point is that parents must ensure their children not to watch too much or too long, and at the same time the Government should give a harsh warning to media with overuse of unhealthy contents. 解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 5 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: If a product is of good quality and meets people's needs, people will buy it, Therefore, advertising is unnecessary and is no more than a type of entertainment, To what extent do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
With the popularization of media, many manufacturers take advantage of advertisement to publicize their products. Whether you like it or not, advertisements have become an indispensable part of modern entertainment. Therefore, some believe that they have more entertaining functions instead of genuine promoting objectives. As far as I am concerned, I cannot totally agree with this argument.
Admittedly, as more advertisements tend to invite celebrities like movie stars and pop singers to be their image spokespersons. But the questions are: who pays the bill in advertising areas and what is the intention?
The producers invest great sums of money in the advertisements with the only ultimate purpose of selling more products at a higher price. Although some advertisements have entertaining elements, the original intentions can never change. To begin with, by effective communicative means, the advertisements can attract more audience to enlarge the customer base. In other words, people get to know a product from advertisements on channels like TV or posters on buses. The second level is more important. Advertisement can leave audience with a deeper impression. With the great help of modem media, people can easily sink into a public effect. Consumers are apt to follow trends formed by ads. Last, there is possibility that some ads may contain some false information of the product in order to exaggerate the functions and cover some shortcomings. As a saying goes, “There is no reasonable consumer, but only crazy buyer tempted by advertising.” Ads easily lead to irrational shoppers.
In conclusion, advertisements are a vital element in the commerce for selling products or services. But the entertaining elements should be judged with sense and reason.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Some believe that people should never be satisfied with what they have and should always strive for something new and different, but there are also people who believe that those who constantly feel satisfied tend to be happy. What is your opinion? Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic:Does satisfaction bring happiness? In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.正确答案：
Does satisfaction bring happiness? Usually people are unhappy because they are not satisfied with what they have got. But do you think they will be happy if they are satisfied with what they have achieved? This seems a tricky question. Some believe that satisfaction brings happiness, but some believe that dissatisfaction can bring a happy life. If we mean by happiness is continuous improvement of human life, then it is dissatisfaction that brings happiness.
To begin with, dissatisfaction can motive personal development. As human society has been developing at an ever increasing speed since the industrial revolution, people find that there is more and more room to better their life. If they are unhappy with the education they have received, they will try to study on. If they are unhappy with their present jobs, they will try to find one that suits them better. And if they are unhappy with their relationship with others, they will try to improve it or find a better one. Therefore, dissatisfaction encourages people to seek life of a better quality rather than stay with the present one, and this process constitutes their development.
Besides helping individuals to develop, dissatisfaction can also promote the continuous development of the whole society. Common sense tells us that there cannot be a perfect society, therefore, if a society is satisfied with itself, it only means that it is willing to live with its problems. A society with dissatisfaction is in fact one that dislikes problems. It will find and solve the problems, and this will certainly help the society to keep moving forward. We can take China as an example. Chinese people used to believe that satisfaction brings happiness, but they had actually been living a very hard life before the 1980s. The reform and opening-up policy was adopted in the 1980s just because the Chinese were no longer satisfied with the society at that time. Facts show that the change of mentality has brought about thorough changes to the society.
Last but not least, dissatisfaction has also been a driving force of human civilization as a whole. It is reasonable to say that in the primitive society, science came into being because the ancestors were not satisfied with their understanding of the world, and technology came into being because they were not satisfied with working purely with their hands. The curiosity and desire has in fact led to the prosperity of science and technology in later times. Similarly, in the artistic world, new propositions and practices keep emerging because people are not pleased with the existing ways in expressing their feelings and emotions.
To sum up, dissatisfaction has played a vital role in the development of individuals, the whole society as well as human civilization. Although too much dissatisfaction may be harmful, a proper sense of dissatisfaction can be very beneficial. When everybody is pleased with what they have, the world will stop moving forward, which virtually means the end of humankind.解析：

问答题Practice 2 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: In countries where there is a high rate of unemployment, most pupils should be offered only primary education. However, others believe that higher education helps people find jobs. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion. You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Being faced with a high rate of unemployment, many people begin to doubt the role or the purpose of receiving education, as high degree is not a stepping-stone to a successful career. Some people believe that a basic education can be enough to meet demands of job market and fulfill the requirements of a person's lifetime. However, others hold an opposite perspective on this issue. As far as I am concerned, unemployment has nothing to do with education itself, which is just not consistent with demands.
First of all, when it comes to basic education, it has at least obvious advantages: On the on hand, it is primary education that establishes the foundation of all subjects one should master, which can be frequently used in daily life. Moreover, only learning from the very basic level, one may have the chance to get to know something deeper in the future. On the other hand, and more importantly, through primary education, one can cultivate his desire and interest of learning. Without the interests in study, it is impossible for anyone to promote himself to higher levels. Like the foundation of a building, primary education is the foundation to build one's life education upon.
Furthermore, further education has its unique benefits: firstly, one can get the whole picture of a particular subject from higher education in college, which can benefit one's life constantly. Secondly, Uplifting one's life quality asks for two important elements: wealth and taste, which can be both gained from further education.. In other words, one can be a comprehensive person, not only learning his major, but also enjoying literature, art and music.
Lastly, it is a fantastic chance to meet and talk with people who share something in common in higher levels of education. Universities are like a stage or platform, on which people can consolidate the friendship they have for one another.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Directions: some people prefer work or activities that mainly involve working with people. Others choose work or activities that mainly involve working with objects or machines. Compare these types of activities. Which of them do you prefer? Give reasons to support your answer. Your composition should be no less than about 160 words.正确答案：
Some people prefer work or activities that mainly involve working with objects or machines. They hold the opinion that this can make their work more accurate. However, I prefer to work with people. I have the following reasons to support my point of view.
First, working with people can promote the work efficiency. As we know, human beings are social animals. We need a community to live in, and to work with people is not a bad choice. For example, when I encounter a problem, I can consult my co-workers for advice. As the saying goes, three minds are greater than one. What’s more, we can cooperate with each other and the power of brain-storm can solve any difficulty. In this way, the team spirit is raised and the work efficiency is promoted.
Second, working with people brings about competition. Rivalry is a very effective motive in improving one’s ability. It can make one energetic and full of new ideas. The co-worker is also a competitor. One can measure his own achievement compared with others. In this way, the shortcomings can be easily located.
On the contrary, working with machines or objects can not be so productive. Though they are accurate, they can not communicate with people. To conclude, working with people can bring about fruitful results, which can make the society more harmonious.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 2 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Some people think that the detailed criminal description on newspaper and TV has bad influences, so this kind of information should be restricted on the media. To what extent do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Whenever we turn on TV or read a newspaper, more often than not we can read a lengthy description of atrocious crime, which has become so-called features of modern media. I, as one of common readers, advocate the proposal that such reports should be strictly controlled, if no abolished.
Alarmingly, those criminal descriptions wield adverse influence on audience, especially fragile youngsters. Due to vulnerable mentality and lack of ample experience, upon contacting violent programmes, those kids are tempted to follow suit, thus breaking the law and such juvenile delinquencies are too often to be ignored. If this trend is out of control, then more teenagers will fall victim to those evil reports.
Moreover, numerous would-be criminals can learn skills of committing crimes from similar cases so the police find it more formidable to crack down on crimes efficiently. Although the original purpose of crime description is to warn people against offenses and teach them valuable lessons, the fact is that there, indeed, exists a discrepancy between what is desired and what is achieved. The latest research reveals that some habitual law-breakers have access to criminal skills and even the police’s detective methods from TV programmes and newspaper stories about crimes. By contrast, if we restrict strictly the programmes of tackling criminal cases, the ways employed by the police to combat crimes will be kept as the top secret, and it is out of the question to be disclosed to the public, especially those potential offenders.
Granted, criminal content, which is not a usual experience for commons, can enhance the TV rating substantially. Satisfying people’s curiosity and adding varieties to choices, those programmes can always attract more audience. As for me, however, the overwhelming detriments have overshadowed whatever benefits.
Overall, no matter what excuse media can find for detailed criminal description, there should be a strict regulation to limit such broadcasting. Government and relevant organizations should cooperate fully, guaranteeing healthier circumstances.解析： 暂无解析
