【参考答案】
Every year, hundreds of millions of people move around to see a different part of the world. It is natural to assume that tourists who have seen other countries have a better knowledge of the people. That assumption also leads to the conclusion that international tourism promotes understanding between nations. How true is this? Let us examine what tourists do in a different country.
First, before going abroad, tourists are often told by their travel agents of the possible hazards which sometimes include local people. They are given example of extreme cases where victims are always the travelers. Then, when they arrive, they are immediately taken to their hotels in big coaches. They flood places where local people don’t go. Their shopping, meals, entertainment all take place in secluded areas. They wear a bubble all the way. Apart from speaking to the guide and a few shop assistants, tourists rarely talk to the local people. To make it even worse, they meet pickpockets; they are ripped off by dishonest traders.
Furthermore, very few local people bother to talk to them out of a genuine interest in the guests’ country, people and culture. Therefore, when asked how much they know about the local people, their answer is “very little”.
If someone really wants to understand a different culture, he has to learn its language, stay there for at least a few month without wearing a bubble, learn how to curse and swear, bargain with a vegetable vendor and then he can say that he understands the people.

问答题◆Topic 4: A Year of Economic Recovery Questions for Reference: 1. Many economists say that the year 2009 was a year of economic recovery for China. What was the goal of the annual GDP growth rate set by the Chinese Government? 2. This recovery was due to the forcefulness of the Chinese government’s policies. The best-known and most effective measure is the 4-trillion-yuan stimulus plan. The major investment was put in infrastructure construction. Could you explain what infrastructure means? Name and describe one or two instances of infrastructure construction in 2009. 3. The economic recovery in 2009 has also improved the life of ordinary Chinese people. Say something about how you and your family, or your relatives or friends, have benefited from this economic recovery?正确答案： 【参考答案】
My name is…My registration number is…My topic is: A Year of Economic Recovery.
Many economists say that the year 2009 was a year of economic recovery for China. Judging from the relevant economic data, we can see clear signals that China’s economic recovery is accelerating and broadening and some of the key indicators beat market expectations successfully, which has helped China win applause from home and abroad. Those people who were once showing much worry and concern over China’s economic development are now changing their mind and feel confident again.
It is not difficult to figure out how great efforts the government has made to ease the situation and maintain social stability over the past year. Many people insist that this recovery was due to the forcefulness of the Chinese government’s policies. The best-known and most effective measure is the 4-trillion-yuan stimulus plan. It was adopted right after the outbreak of the financial crisis and was soon put into operation. The government also adopted many other pro-growth economic policies such as expanding the “home appliances to the countryside” program. The quick implementation of the stimulus package successfully reversed the downward trend of the economy and the quarterly GDP growth picked up remarkably. A rainbow of recovery shows up after the financial storm. Many people believe that so far, this is the world’s most effective economic stimulus program. And with the effective implementation of all these policies and measures, we can find everywhere that the people’s lives have been gradually improved.
However, as one economist from the Asian Development Bank said, the Chinese government should get ready to deal with more difficult tasks. It is through the economic stimulus plan that Chinese have managed to overcome the crisis in such a short period of time. However, the more severe challenges could be waiting for them. Thus more efforts should be made to promote the Chinese economy’s sustained growth.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题◆Topic 7: Living Alone Questions for Reference: 1. More and more people are living by themselves today. Explain the reason. 2. What’s the advantages and disadvantages of living alone? 3. Which is the best way to have a happy life according to your understanding?正确答案： 【参考答案】
You come home alone after a long day at work. You open the door to your home. No one is there. Is it blessed silence you hear -or echoing emptiness?
Millions of people who live alone today may have either experience. Some love living alone, yet others wish they didn’t have to.
When they open that door at night, people who live alone do not have to put up with demands or listen to someone’ s noise or meet anyone’ s dinner deadlines. They do not have to debate about which TV program to watch or stay off the phone because someone else is expecting an important call. No one else messes up their kitchen.
But when they are sick, no one else will bring them an aspirin or call the doctor. Preparing dinner for one can be difficult, and eating dinner for one night after night can be very lonely. Perhaps no one really cares what they did all day. If they are feeling sad, there may be no one to cheer them up. Some people who live alone say the worst times come when something very good happens because there is no one to share the joy.
During the course of a lifetime, one may sometimes live with others and sometimes live alone.
Each way of life has its advantages. Learning to take advantage of them is one key to contentment.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题◆Topic 8: Is education Losing its Value? Questions for reference: 1. Some people think that this increased access to education is devaluing degrees. What’s your point of view? 2. What can the degrees bring to people? 3. Do you think it’s necessary to have increased emphasis on degrees in our society? Why?正确答案： 【参考答案】
People have several arguments against the need for degrees. They say that having so many graduates devalues a degree. People lose respect for the degree holder. It is also claimed that education has become a rat race. Graduates have to compete for jobs even after years of studying.
Another point is that studying for such a long time leads to. learners becoming inflexible. They know a lot about one narrow subject, but are unable to apply their skills. Employers prefer more flexible and adaptable workers.
However, I feel strongly that this move to having more qualifications is a positive development.
In the past education was only for the rich and powerful. Now it is available to everyone, and this will have many advantages for the country and the individual. First of all, it is impossible to be overeducated. The more people are educated, the better the world will be, because people will be able to discuss and exchange ideas. A further point is that people with degrees have many more opportunities. They can take a wider variety of jobs and do what they enjoy doing, instead of being forced to take a job they dislike. Finally, a highly educated workforce is good for the economy of the country. It attracts foreign investment.
In conclusion, although there are undoubtedly some problems with increased levels of education, I feel strongly that the country can only progress if all its people are educated to the maximum of their ability.解析： 暂无解析 -

A: You see. Our company is thinking about renting offices. What do you think should be taken into consideration before making a decision?
B: I think first we should consider the location. The offices should be better in the commercial area of the city, for it is easier for our company to be found and to exchange information with other companies in the area.
A: You are right. A good location will allow a company to do business more efficiently.
B: Moreover, I think cost is another factor that we need to consider. If the location is in the commercial area, the cost of renting may be very high.
A: That’s true. If the cost of the location is too high, it will certainly exceed the company’s budget. But if the price is reasonable, we can take it. After all, the cost should be on the average of the city.

问答题Topic 5：Should government relief recipients be kept from owning “luxuries”? Questions for Reference: 1. What kind of products will you define as “luxuries”? 2. Should people who receive subsistence allowance from the government be allowed to own luxuries? Why or why not? 3. What do you suggest will be the more “humane” restrictions on those who apply for subsistence allowance?正确答案： 【参考答案】
My name is... My registration number is... My topic is: Should government relief recipients be kept from owning “luxuries”?
My name is my registration number is my topic is: Should government relief recipients be kept from owning “luxuries”?
I have known from newspapers that one local government has declared that government relief recipients are not allowed to buy “luxuries” such as cell phones and computers. Once violated, the subsistence allowance will be halted. It has caused withdrawn debate among the Public. The supporters say that limited financial resources should be used where they are most needed and those who can afford top-grade commodities have no right to the subsistence allowance. Nevertheless, the opponents insist that purchasing something they think necessary is personal freedom and should not be interfered. As far as I am concerned, government relief recipients shouldn’t be kept from owning such “luxuries”. My reasons are as follows:
Firstly, I agree that it is personal freedom [or people to decide what to buy, even for the poor. How recipients use the money is their own business in which the government has no right to interfere despite its role as the provider of the relief.
Secondly, cell phones and computers are currently becoming the daily necessities for the majority of the average people, including the poor. They can help o improve people’s living standards and shake off poverty.
Thirdly, we are now living in a modern age. Information technology is developing fast with each passing day. We all need to try our best to keep up with the time.
Finally, I hope that the government will take more active measures to implement the policy of urban subsistence allowance and effectively help those from low-income families. 解析： 暂无解析 -

Do you think it can achieve its end? 3. Some people think that if petty crimes are not punished in a timely way, more serious consequences will follow. What do you think of this argument?正确答案： 【参考答案】
My name is…My registration number is…My topic is: Will petty criminals get light punishment?
A new prosecution guideline was recently released. It says that if the petty criminals are minors, old or very poor, they may get light punishment. The public hold different attitudes towards this guideline.
Some people think that the regulation violates the principle that “everyone is equal before the law”. It also breaches the legal principle that citizens’ property is inviolable. But more people, me included, think that the new guideline represents the combination of leniency and severity, and it helps to promote social harmony. Although China is now richer than before, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. Therefore, social conflicts may arise due to the widening of such gaps and there is the possibility for those who lack basic social security to violate laws for survival. As a way to tackle these problems, the judicial system surely needs to do something for the disadvantaged group. The stipulation that people who have committed a small crime because of poverty will be exempted from prosecution is actually a kind of protection to the helpless from a legal perspective.
Furthermore, we all know that the objective of the judicial system is to prevent crimes rather than to punish wrongdoers. If one is severely punished because he steals bread for survival, the punishment may damage his whole life and lead him to commit more serious crimes. Severity does reflect justice and objectivity, but sometimes leniency can be more effective in saving the soul of an individual, because it will affect the hearts and minds of the petty criminals. It reflects tolerance and humanity and may play a more positive role in helping criminals make a fresh start.
In a word, if the law can show both leniency and severity at the same time, it will be the most解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题◆Topic 10：Work to Live or Live to Work? Questions for reference: 1) Why do people live? 2) Are people really aware of the reasons why they work? 3) How do you balance work and life?正确答案： 【参考答案】
Living in a highly competitive society, the idea that the purpose of life is to work is prevalent even dominant. Most bread earners believe that financial guarantee is more realistic and more important for a person and for his family. So they take for granted that devoting to work is the most reasonable and worthy thing to do.
Nevertheless, objectors think that work is only a means to have a better life. They argue that there are more important things than work in life, such as friends, personal interests, social responsibilities and so or. They think that life will be dull and meaningless with work as its aim.
In my opinion, we should strike a balance between work and life. On the one hand, to be a diligent worker is necessary and meaningful. On the other hand, we should not be workaholic, or we will lose many significant things in life, such as love and friendship. 解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题◆Topic 10: Government’s Control of Violence in Media Questions for Reference: 1. What negative effects could be brought by the violence in films and on television to our society according to your observation? 2. Do you agree that the government’s control of the amount of violence in films and on television would limit our right of free speech? Why /Why not? 3. Some people put that it is in our best interest as a society for the government to censor broadcast media for violence. Do you think so? Why /Why not?正确答案： 【参考答案】
Whether the government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the violent crimes in society involves a conflict between our right of free speech and the duty of the government to protect its citizenry from potential harm. In my view, our societal interest in preventing the harm that exposure to violence produces takes precedence over the rights of individuals to broadcast this type of content.
First of all, I believe that exposure to violence does indeed cause similar behavior on the part of those who are exposed to it. Although we may not have conclusive scientific evidence of a cause effect relationship, ample anecdotal evidence establishes a significant correlation. Moreover, both common sense and our experiences with children inform us that people tend to mimic the behavior they are exposed to.
Secondly, I believe that violence is indeed harmful to a society. The harm it produces is, in my view, both palpable and profound. For the individual, it has a debasing impact on vital human relationships: for the society, it promotes a tendency toward antisocial behavior. Both outcomes, in turn, tear apart the social fabric that holds a society together.
Those who advocate unbridled individual expression might point out that the right of free speech is intrinsic to a democracy and necessary to its survival. Even so, this right is not absolute, nor is it the most critical element. In my assessment, the interests served by restricting violence in broadcast media are, on balance, more crucial to the survival of a society.
In sum, it is in our best interest as a society the government to censor broadcast media for violence. Exposure to such media content tends to harm society and its citizenry in ways that are worth preventing, even in light of the resulting infringement of our right of free expression.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题◆Topic 9: Primary Functions of University Education Questions for Reference: 1. Most people think that teachers should teach students how to judge right and wrong and how to behave well. Please discuss this view. 2. Why do you think lots of teachers pay much more attention to teaching students academic subjects than other aspects? 3. What’s your opinion of the primary functions of university education? Why do you think so?正确答案： 【参考答案】
There is no doubt that helping students find a job is one of the primary functions of university education, but universities do exist for other purposes such as improving students’ analytical skills and raising students’ moral standards.
A university education can be seen as a process of improving students’ analytical thinking. The variety of courses offered at university inspires students in various ways, therefore improving their analytical ability. For example, science courses such as math and biology help students develop a rational way of thinking whereas arts courses such as literature let students ponder over issues from a logical, multi-dimensional perspective; and courses in social sciences force students to recognize the ideas that have been traditionally assumed to be acceptable and unproblematic. With the development of these types of analytical thinking, graduates can face future challenges with more confidence and enthusiasm.
Also, university education is expected to improve students’ moral standards. This is rooted in universities? Belief that students’ awareness of responsibility towards their community and their country is of high importance. In this ever-degrading society and civilization, students are encouraged actively participate in improving the local community. A university that provides care and facilities for physically disadvantaged students may inspire the graduates to better handle situations in the future where they may have to interact with the disabled community. A successful university education is supposed to produce morally sound graduates, therefore increasing their employability.
In conclusion, university education not only helps students locate a decent job but will also develop other qualities such as enhancing their analytical skills and cultivating their hunger and spirit for life.解析： 暂无解析 -

What are the advantages/disadvantages of buildings designed as works of art? 3. Recently, more and more people believe that a building should serve its purpose rather than looking beautiful. What’s your view?正确答案： 【参考答案】
Recently, more and more people believe that a building should serve its purpose rather than looking beautiful, whether the architects should worry about buildings as works of art has become an issue of controversy. Before presenting my opinion, I would like to probe into both sides of the debate.
Critics argue about the shortcomings of buildings designed as works of art. First of all, it needs a great sum of money to design beautiful buildings with extra decorations. Most people would like to have better infrastructures and recreational facilities rather than a better look. Secondly, the side effects brought by artistic designs also arouse people’s wide concern. They worry about the safety of buildings and they believe the steadiness is more essential. Last but not least, the appearance which is loved by the designers may not be accepted by everyone. Different people have discrepant views. It is easier said than done to settle a proposal satisfying everybody.
Supporters also claim that there are a large number of benefits following the special architectures. For one thing, we can hand down our cultural heritages by constructions. If we fail to build up symbols of our tradition, our descendants may forget it someday. For another thing, it’s also a good way to enhance the embellishment. There is no doubt that a good image of the city could successfully attract the world’s attention and powder .the dwellers with more opportunities. Also worth mentioning is that it can give us good feelings. Under such circumstance, people could work more efficiently and rest more comfortably.
Generally speaking, both of their views are rational. But personally, I side with the latter one.

My name is... My registration number is... My topic is: Talk about Virtue.
We must uphold these core virtues including diligence, honesty, justice and responsibility. Traditionally, we Chinese admire the virtue of plain living and hard struggle. The vital importance is also placed on honesty and justice.
In my eyes, however, responsibility tops our priority. To shoulder some heavy responsibilities, we must keep a style of plain living and hard struggle. Responsibility also means honesty and justice. Everyone must assume a set of responsibilities. For example, we college students must take the responsibility for pursuing the impressive academic performance. But an army of students plant themselves in online games, an activity which compels them to shun huge responsibilities.
The virtue of responsibility is strongly associated with the “Eight Dos and Don’ts” moral campaign in full swing. Under this slogan, everyone must take on his/her own responsibilities and dedicate to his/her own position. Unquestionably, everyone must promote the socialist concept of honor and disgrace. 解析： 暂无解析 -

So whether the tourism is a blessing or a misfortune become a social problem, drawing a lot of attentions. People's attitude towards tourism varies.
Some people claim that we can get benefit from tourism, both from the perspective of individual and our country. Firstly we can broaden our horizon. While we visit a new place, we can know their own cultures, such their clothes, foods, festivals and so on. Secondly, we can enrich our knowledge. By visiting historical sites, we can obtain much information about the history, geography, languages and so on. Thirdly, we can relax our mood. Traveling can give us the chance to see the beautiful view and return to the nature. For one nation, tourism can help us to get a lot of external funding, promote the local economy, and show our traditional culture in a good way.
On the other hand, tourism has many disadvantages. It can cause series pollution problems, such as the white pollution, water pollution and air pollution. Too many tourists will produce a large number of rubbish and bring a lot of noises. It will be the main reason for pollution. Some tourists will not protect our heritages carefully by uncivilized behaviors.
In my opinion, tourism has both advantages and disadvantages. If all the people can be a civilized tourist, we can get more advantages than disadvantages. The tourism will be a blessing not a misfortune.解析： 暂无解析 -

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 -

Some people are opposed to the extension initiative for fear that it might reduce job opportunities for young people. What’s your comment on this opinion? 3. China is facing a surplus labor force. What are the possible solutions to such a problem?正确答案： 【参考答案】
My name is...My registration number is...My topic is...The Retirement Age for Chinese.
It has been said that the government is discussing about extending the retirement age of employees. Although the authorities involved have ruled out the possibility of increasing the retirement age for the time being, it has still caused much concern and heated discussion.
Back in the 1980s, China’s major concern was its huge population, which had to be tackled first. But today, the aging of its population has become a pressing issue. As life expectancy increases with the help of higher social living and healthcare standards, more and more retired people are becoming healthier and still energetic enough to continue their work. For example, a 50-year-old man used to be regarded as aged a few decades ago, while he would more probably be considered a middle-aged person today. On the other hand, people in China retire earlier than in many other countries. In many of the western countries, the retirement age today is usually 65, or even beyond 65. But in China, the average men retire at the age of 60, and women at 55. Moreover, many workers retire earlier than the legal retirement age owning to preferential policies for women and workers in some of the heavy industries. The other thing which is worth our consideration is that the life expectancy of Chinese has been raised for a number of times over the past decades, and in many of the big cities in China, it has already reached 80 or over, so our pension scheme is facing an increasingly heavy pressure. Taking into consideration of the above-mentioned situation and some other factors, many people think that the retirement age for Chinese workers should and can be extended.
However, adjusting the social security system is a big issue, which has to be done with caution and discretion. The government should encourage a thorough public discussion on the issue and strike the right balance between the pros and cons before making the decision.解析： 暂无解析 -

A: It is true that almost all organizations have the “quit-but-stay” employees who have severed their psychological contract with the organization. Many techniques are available to motivate staff, among which the most effective one is to give as much meaningful work as possible to employees. The less intrinsically interesting the work, the more needs to be done to make it acceptable such as job rotation, job enrichment and job sharing.
B: In addition to appraisal schemes, some other measures can be taken to improve staff performance, of which the most important one is to give staff due trustworthiness. If you believe in your staff, and trust your staff, you will give them the information and resources that they need to do a good job. Also through ongoing training make sure that employees have skills that are necessary to fulfill the requirements of the job. As a result, I believe, most of your staff members will certainly display their commitments to doing the job well.解析： 暂无解析 -

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
