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Directions: There is a strange phenomenon that many college students passed college English tests, and some even with high scores, but they could not properly communicate with foreigners, nor can they translate between languages, let alone write well in English. Where do the problems lie? Write a composition giving your opinion about the problems. You should write at least 160 words.正确答案：
There is a strange phenomenon that many college students passed college English tests, and some even with high scores, but they could not properly use it in real life. How does this happen? I think several reasons lie behind this phenomenon.
First reason connects with the English classes. The teaching is teacher-centered and the only thing for the students to do is take notes down and recite as many grammar rules as they can. The materials are not good for ability improving, for the emphasis is always on the multiple choices. The students can get rare chance to speak out their true feelings. Secondly, the environment for the students to practice their oral English is hard to find. English corners can only be found in college once a week. And most of the time they keep silent.
Now,it is time to change all this. On the one hand, the materials should add more practical subjects. And there should be a shift concerning the teaching emphasis, from teacher-centered to students-centered. On the other hand, more English speaking environment should be provided to the students.解析： 暂无解析 -

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with the poor postal service which causes me great trouble.
I am a student of Dalian University and I am from the south. About one month and a half ago one of my friend sent me a parcel which contains some photos we took at Xiamen. My friend now is in America. It is because he would leave that we tried our best to be together in last summer holiday. Before he left he sent these photos to me. So they are very precious to both of us.
But to my great disappointment, I have not received these photos yet. What embarrasses me most is that your postal staff refuse to look into the matter which has made me extremely angry.
I sincerely hope that you will improve your management system and give prompt attention to my case. I am looking forward to your favorable reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,

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：
针对“科学家无法解决一些科技进步带来的问题”这一观点，范文作者在第一段末表示赞同。第二、三段具体解释了赞同的原因。首先，科技的应用受到政治、历史和军事因素的影响。其次，科学家不能完全预测产品的未来用途。其中恰当地运用了实例支持分论点。结尾段简洁地总结了中心思想。 -

问答题We have to ask ourselves: who really give the most value to society? Many college graduates could not find suitable jobs when they finish their higher education. What are the job problems for college graduates? Write a composition to state your view on this issue.正确答案：
WHY IS IT SO DIFFIUCLT TO FIND A JOB? Every year thousands of graduates flood the job market, expecting better jobs in their majors, only to be frustrated and disappointed. Why do college students find it increasingly difficult to get a rewarding job?
One reason perhaps is that many colleges and universities fail to gear their curricular to the development of industries. Degree courses offered in these colleges and universities are so outdated, irrelevant and impractical that the employers as well as the students themselves find it hard to translate their book knowledge into real job skills. No one wants to know about their mind-broadening and horizon-widening qualities, and few are willing to spend time and budget on training raw recruits.
Secondly, there is an oversupply of graduates in certain specialties, and this oversupply is increasing. Already there is an overabundance of lawyers, executive secretaries, sales engineers and other specialists due to the ambitious investment and booming industries brought on by the economic reforms in recent years. Yet colleges continue every year to turn out the graduates of these specialties to compete for jobs that aren't there. The result is that many of them cannot enter the professions for which they are trained and have to take other jobs which do not require a college degree.
Thirdly, there is a problem with the attitude of college graduates toward employment. Many of them put earnings above anything else. So they miss many opportunities. Is they have a realistic expectation of how much they should earn in the beginning of their career, it won't be difficult for them to get a job. Besides, they are also very particular about the place. Many college graduates are reluctant to seek a job in the less developed provinces, say, in the mid-western areas, where there are immense opportunities for success and career development. Instead, they all food to the big cities in the eastern coastal area, such as Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing. As a result, the competition in these cities becomes more fierce.
The problems that college graduates encounter in job hunting deserve more attention from the colleges and the government. The colleges should get their students out of the ivory tower and gear their courses to the needs of industry and business. The government should provide college graduates with more vocational opportunities to develop new skills, and at the same time raise the wages in the intellectual field so as to retain those willingly devoted to academic studies and scientific research.解析：

问答题Task II (20 marks) Directions:Many nations’ serious school problems nowadays result from the students’ attitude. What causes these problems? What’s your opinion to deal with these problems? State your opinion in no less than about 160 words, and write it on the Answer Sheet.正确答案：
Nowadays in many nations there are serious school problems—absenteeism, disrespect for teachers, drug abuse, and tardiness. Serious school problems are positively associated with high-risk behaviors of teens: smoking, drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana, and so.
There might be many causes for these various school problems in different cases, but one reason is in common—the student’s attitude. Every single person is responsible for his or her own actions, so do the students. And if one’s attitude is upright, there would be no reason for him or her to misbehave. On the contrary, if a student is experiencing serious school problems, parents and teachers better take a close look into his or her attitude. There must be something wrong with it.
Thus, in order to prevent serious school problems, it is necessary to cultivate a positive attitude in the students. Positive attitude will bring out the best in them and will become the key to their success at school.

问答题Practice 2 ● Your company has decided to protect itself safer from industrial espionage. You have been asked to put forward a proposal concerning this. ● Write your proposal, including the following: ● identifying the problems with security, ● suggesting possible measures to be taken, ● mentioning possible dissatisfactions from within with the policy, ● recommendations for how to make the staff happy with it. ● Write 200—250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Introduction
The objective of this proposal is to make the employees pay more attention to industrial espionage and concerning it, we should take some effective measures to cope with the problems.
Findings
A recent investigation has shown that there is something wrong with our company’s security, which will have a very bad effect on development of the company in an all-round way. For instance, a new product programme has been on the discussion. But, some company plans a similar program earlier than us. We have to bear the unpredictable loss. Apart from that, it is very irresponsible for some employees to reveal our customers’ personal information, which defames our company’s reputation as well as despises one’s own moral quality.
Recommendations
Concerning the seriousness of this issue, I would propose that some useful and effective measures should be taken. First of all, only the high level personnel can access to the top confidential documents and other employees cannot look over them or even borrow them with any excuse. Secondly, each employee without his or her own ID and password can not enter the center system of the company’s computer. Thirdly, impeachment mechanism should be improved.
Conclusion
To some extent, these measures would naturally result in dissatisfactions from the staff who may feel restrained. At the same time, they may suspect that our company has no faith in them. As a result, I strongly propose that we should make the staff aware of the importance of anti-espionage actions and we will spare no effort to protect our company safer from industrial espionage.解析： 暂无解析 -

More convenience in traffic will bring us more income from tourism. Secondly, more places of historical interests and scenery spots are to be explored to let foreign friends see more exciting things than just clay-warriors and horses in Xi’an or Summer Place in Beijing.

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Advances in technology and science have solved many problems. However，they have also created new problems，among which pollution has attracted much attention of the public. Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic，discussion the problems caused by pollution.ON POLLUTIONIn 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：
ON POLLUTION Nowadays we have many conveniences in our society, which have been brought through technology and science. However, these same advancements in technology and science have caused some very dangerous problems. These problems will not go away easily because people do not want to give up the conveniences of a modem lifestyle. The most critical problems that should be dealt with immediately are those of pollution.
Pollution caused by chemicals is a very serious problem because it causes the loss of the ozone layer. Without our ozone, not only we ourselves but also plant and animal life are exposed to dangerous rays from the sun. Aerosol cans emit chemicals that break down our ozone layer. Refrigeration and air-conditioning systems and ears also have dangerous emissions. A very serious threat to the planet—the warming of the earth's atmosphere—is primarily caused by carbon dioxide emissions. Many scientists think that the warming could be sufficient to melt the polar ice caps, thus raising the sea levels. This would mean that many parts of the world would be submerged below sea level.
There are other problems caused by pollution. Factories that make our modem conveniences emit poisonous gases onto the air we breathe. The chemicals we use for cleaning and wastes from factories go into our water systems and pollute the water we drink and the fish we eat. They also kill much of the wildlife we depend on for food. Some of the pesticides we have sprayed on our crops have been found to be dangerous. This kind of pollution may stay in the ground for a very long period of time.
Last but not the least, nuclear pollution will lead directly to nuclear damage. The explosions at Three Mile Island in the United States in 1979 and at Chernobyl in the Soviet Union in 1986 provided lessons to the global nuclear industry. The exposure to very high radiation levels released by nuclear plants within a short period of time may harm the environment many years, and usually will cause fatal injuries to human health.
In conclusion, the problems created by pollution are growing daily. Because people do not want to change their lifestyles, we must invent a way to neutralize the pollutants we are putting into our environment. People need to be educated so that will stop damaging the planet. Furthermore, government must take action to prevent individuals and companies from harming their environment.解析：

问答题Practice 2You had a small fire in your room. Write a letter to your landlord Mr. Smiths, and tell him:(1) The situation of what has happened.(2) What property you have lost.(3) The recommendations you provide.Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming” instead. You do not need to write the address.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Dear Mr. Smiths,
An unhappy affair happened last Saturday in my room when I was on my holiday on the beach. Some neighboring boys were playing fireworks and one threw one firework into my broken window which caused the small fire. Fortunately my neighbor Tom found it immediately. He opened the door and put down the fire. The properties that I have lost are as follows:
(1) My bedcovering, a sweater and an overcoat.
(2) My textbooks of Education next semester.
Although they are partly spoiled, I have to change new ones. To avoid such things once more, I put forward some recommendations to you.
(1) Advise the boys not play fireworks nearby. As in some other countries, it is not allowed to play fireworks in city areas.
(2) Repair my broken windows immediately please.
(3) Check the windows and the doors of other rooms. The fire will spread if it happens somewhere else.
I hope this will get your full attention.
Yours sincerely,
