    Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled How Should Parents Help Children to Be Independent? You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.

    1. 目前不少父母为孩子包办一切

    2. 为了让孩子独立, 父母应该……3. 总结


    正确答案:Recently, numerous reports related to children's dependence on their parents on various media have, once again, aroused wide concern among public about kids' lack the ability to face their lives by themselves. It is widely accepted that excessive reliance on one's parents is bound to be harmful to his prospect and thus it is necessary that some urgent actions be taken to alter current trend.
    For one thing, more opportunities should be given to children to participate in different competitive and cooperative activities, for competition is one of effective ways to lead them to achieving outstanding accomplishments and cooperation can build trust between each other and help to bring long-term relationship among peers. For another, it is suggestive that children receive some outward-bounds, which are beneficial to kids' physical and emotional endurance, to inspire children's underlying potentials and shape their best character and consequently cultivate their awareness of independence.
    In a nutshell, parents are supposed to be subject to the limitations of traditional concepts of raising a child; on the contrary, children ought to be offered more chances to explore as many as possible areas in their lives to find their optimal careers. Accordingly, the cultivation of the ability to be independent might be regarded as a basic education, which plays a crucial role in a child's all-round development.

    答案:
    解析:
    In the picture above,a man is talking on his phone loudly in a public place,being deliberately ignorant of other people's aversion to him within the same enclosed area.This illustration tries to point out the public cell phone behavior Public places,such as libraries,hospitals,galleries and theaters,are usually expected to be quiet and peaceful ne uses of mobile phones in such places are likely to disrupt the desirable working environment For instance.in a library,where people are pondering over the books,the constant mobile ringtones or the phone conversation will be intru-sive or irritating.Mobile phone usage in public places like hospitals can easily interfere with the medical equipment which can be harmful to the patient.Moreover,the environment at shopping malls,stores and other public places is very noisy and talking over cell phones will add extra decibel.Apart from that,using mobile phones in music galleries or theaters can result in others'discomfort and spoil their entertainment In my opinion,cell phones should be allowed in public places with some restrictions.What's more,in public places,quiet zones where phone use is banned should be set up.

    On Media Violence According to the picture above,a boy is imitating what he has seen on a television program,taking a knife on one hand,and a stick with another,saying"kill them all!"What this illustration tries to reveal is the devastating effects of electronic media violent program on young people Everything that children see or hear in the media early on in their lives affects them in nowadays,it's virtually impossible to keep kids in a violence-free bubble.Over sixty percent of television shows being shown in prime time contain some form of violence.Current research shows that violent media is associated with aggressive behavior.Children who view media violence are more likely to have more feelings of hostility and less remorse for consequences Violent situations are all too common in everyday entertainment and there are far fewer non-violent programming choices.Therefore,parents should monitor and be more attentive to their children.They need to pay more attention to their childrens lives and not let them sit in front of the television,whether it is for movies,video games,or general television shows

What is your opinion?Please write a composition entitled "Will E-books Replace TraditionalBooks?" in English within 180 words, but no less than 150 words.


    答案:
    解析:
    Will E-books Replace Traditional Books? There is no denyingthe fact that e-books have gained increasing popularity in the past years alongwith the development of information technology. Actually, modem readers seem tospend more time on e-books than on traditional ones.
    As a consequence, ithas emerged as a hotly debated topic whether e-books will take the place oftraditional books in the future. Some hold the positive view. They claim thatit is natural for books to become electronic as mankind steps into a digitalage. Compared with traditional books, e-books have some obvious advantages. Forone thing, it is convenient to read online as modem people have easy access tothe Interact. For another, reading e-books saves money.
    Personally, Ibelieve that e-books cannot replace all traditional books. Firstly, you canmark a traditional book and write your comments in the margin but you can hardlydo that on e-books. Secondly, for many people, only the smell of print and thefeel of paper can provide, the true sense of reading and learning. Therefore,in my opinion, traditional books will still exist in the future.

    Directions:  Please write an essay in 160-200 words entitled “Water Shortage” based on the following outline. The first sentence has been given.   Outline:  (1)Water shortage has become much more serious than before.   (2)The chief reasons for water shortage.  (3)My suggestions.

    正确答案:
    Water shortage has become much more serious than before. According to the statistics. 2.2 billion people in 62 countries are facing the shortage of fresh water in the world; there is 300 million people in 26 countries are severely short of water. It is expected that other eight countries will join the 26 countries for severely lacking water in 2010 and 2.7 billion people around the world will face the problem of severe water short-age in 2025.
    The chief reason for water shortage is the low efficiency of water using. As we can see, some water can be reused. For example, we can use the water that we have used to wash clothes, to rinse the toilet. As statistics show, one ton of water will be used while one ton of paper is produced. But with the use of recycled water, the consumption of water can be reduced to half ton. Obviously, with the use of recycled water, the water use efficiency will increase, thus a great lot of water can be saved. But unfortunately, in most of the countries, many companies, particularly in some industries that consume masses of water every day, such as paper making and steel making, haven’t built up their recycle system of water. Lots of water is directly drained without recycling everyday.
    So how to build up more recycle system of water has become most pressing business that can solve the water shortage problem.

    Directions:  Please write an essay in about 150 words entitled “On Electronic Dictionary” based on the following outline  (1)Advantages of electronic dictionary.   (2)Disadvantages of using electronic dictionary.   (3)Your opinion.

    正确答案:
    On Electronic Dictionary Nowadays, an increasingly large number of students prefer to use electronic dictionaries instead of traditional dictionaries. Is the electronic dictionary really more desirable than traditional one? Views on this question vary from student to student.
    As the enthusiast of modern technologies, more and more students are fond of using electronic dictionaries. They think it is more convenient to press some keys on the machine than to look up some words in sheets of paper. Besides, the electronic dictionary is easier to carry wherever they go. And what is the most important, some electronic dictionaries even can tell students how to read the words correctly, which is of great help to pronounce some difficult and confusing words.
    However, some students believe that constant use of such electronic device may cause side-effects. First, electronic dictionaries usually do not contain as much information as a qualified dictionary compiled by authorities of the field. Besides, some explanations in them are so simple that they can’t help students use the words effectively and some of them even will cause misunderstandings. Worst of all, using electronic dictionary often makes for a lazy attitude towards language learning, which is always most inefficient in the long run.
    For my part, I suggest that English learners should have a good dictionary on hand and treat the electronic dictionary as a makeshift. Just as the proverb says, “No pains, no gains.” If you take no pains in learning, you will have no gains later

    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。

    Directions:  Please write an essay in about 150 words entitled “Where To Study--Go Abroad or Stay in China?” based on the following outline  (1)Two opposite views.  (2)Advantages and disadvantages of both.  (3)Your preference.

    正确答案:
    Where To studyGo Abroad or Stay in China Various people may hold absolutely opposite views on whether students should study in China or abroad. Some people insist that ambitious students should study in China because many returned overseas graduates only found their knowledge not available in China. Viewing the same matter from another angle, others may think students studied abroad are more likely to succeed.
    Those with the former idea may indicate graduates from civil universities are more familiar with the situation of China. People holding the latter idea base their theory primarily on the fact overseas graduates have a broader view and more open mind. Over the raging dispute regarding study abroad versus study in China, some people oppose studying abroad because they think most overseas graduated have difficulties in adapting to situations back in China. One objection is civil graduates seldom have new ideas to cope with China’s affairs.
    As for me, I prefer to study abroad. It goes without saying that comparing with the education in developed countries our education is still backward. Further more, overseas students may have conditions to keep an eye over the changes in China when they study abroad. Finally, the truth is that overseas graduates are preferred by more enterprises in China. All these lead to a conclusion that students have more chances to succeed if they have studied abroad

  • 第10题:

    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:
    题目中的happiness是一个很模糊的概念,每个人可能都有自己的理解。在引言段中,作者在通过问题引出话题后,先给出“幸福”的定义才明确自己的观点,这样全文的讨论就有了比较坚实的基础。引言段的问题提得自然到位,既抓住了读者的心理,又点出了文章的中心议题。文章的正文段从个人、社会、人类文明三个角度阐述了不满的重要性。这三个要点不仅范围从小到大展开,议题也是从具体到抽象逐步深入。从论据上看,除了逻辑推理外,作者还用了中国社会的发展作例子,具有较好的说服力。文章结论段简洁明了。作者用一个句子做总结,然后用本讨论话题的意义作最终评论。

    正确答案:
    Adolescent Crime Nowadays adolescent crime rate is keeping on a rise not only in our society but also in other parts of the world. These youngsters who break the law are still teenagers and are supposed to be the symbol of innocence. The problem has become so serious that it shocks people and has caused alarm and attention among both the authorities and communities.
    Adolescent crime has their social and economic backgrounds. Family surrounding is the most important factor that affects the teenagers' attitude. According to the research, almost every young offender is from an unpeaceful family. Another factor leading to adolescent crimes is the social surroundings the young offender is in. Teenagers are immature and cannot distinguish right from wrong properly and are very likely to imitate others. This is good in some cases but not good in others. For example, if the teenagers are exposed to too much violence from TV, they tend to be violent.
    Education is a key to deciding the rise and fall of adolescent crime rate. If the society can provide teenagers with appropriate and sufficient education, the adolescent crime rate can remain low. So it is of great importance that a healthy environment be created for the young. Above all, all the children or teenagers should be guaranteed to receive proper education because well educated youngsters are the guarantee of our nation's future. Besides, it is necessary to keep a harmonious family atmosphere, where children can grow up happily. Still, the society is also responsible for leading the young to the right way.

    正确答案: Does an Intensive Training Course Really Help? On campus we can find many advertisements of intensive training course which seek to attract the eyeballs of the students who are preparing for the exams. Does an intensive training course really help?
    Some students are in favor of choosing an intensive training course for two reasons. Firstly, they believe they can learn systematically in such a course. Secondly, they just follow the trends. If their classmates choose to take the course, it is quite likely that they will take one as well;otherwise they will fall behind the trends. On the contrary, some students hold that the intensive training is little-yielding. They would like to follow their own study plan. They firmly believe that study is a lasting process and the intensive training courses really do little help to examinations.
    In my opinion, in such intensive training courses you will get skills for exams, rather than real knowledge. We should not resort to the intensive training for the shortcut of exams.

    答案:
    解析:
    一、审题谋篇2014年的大作文从总体上来看不难,因为它考查到了现在的一个社会热点。而且从十年的考研真题来讲,2005年的大作文考查到的是赡养老人的问题,当年的图画是可怜的老父亲缩成了一只皮球,四个儿女守着四个球门,老人被儿女们踢来踢去。当年的描述图画部分比较难表达,而今年图画描述部分相比起来就容易得多。写作框架仍然采取标准三段式来写。第一段图画描述段的写作内容主要是描述图画,需包括两点:三十年前是个什么样子,现在是什么样子。三十年前“我”还是个孩子,母亲大手拉小手陪伴着我成长;现在,母亲上年纪了,我陪伴在母亲的身旁。图的重心应该是在右边一幅,突出的是子女长大后要关爱、感恩父母。第二段是图画内涵阐释段。首先用一句话阐释图片内涵,然后用事实对该内涵进行阐释。可正面举例说明社会存在这样良好的风尚,也可以从反面说明当前社会中人们忽视了对父母的关爱和回报。第三段评论段的写作内容为给出自己的评论和建议。可以指出年轻人应该把尊重和照顾年迈的父母视为一种道义责任。也可以从细节出发,年轻人在生活中如何做到孝顺父母。只有这样,我们的家庭才能和睦,社会才能更加和谐!二、参考范文As can been seen,love between a mother and a daughter is reflected by the drawing:in the left one,a young and amiable mother is holding one hand of her little daughter,while in the right photo,when the mother is aged,her daughter,who has grown up,is supporting her,just as the mother did thirty years ago.Just as the caption below summarizes,the implication conveyed in the picture is self-evident:we need to show our concern and love to our parents.However,most of us fail to do this job.As our pace of life gallops along,increasingly our society is seeing a decline in traditional moral values.It is revealed in the fact that we always put back filial piety.As young men now deem the career as the priority,they often choose to migrate with their jobs,and work around the clock,leaving parents in empty-nests.Besides,many people are used to substituting their care for parents with money or gifts.While it is beyond dispute that material support can improve our parents’living standards,what these aged people need most is company and love from us,such as a simple call,a short time at home.It is easy to draw this conclusion that,to our parents,nothing can be better than the filial piety from children.Whenever possible,we should gather around the table for a“reunion dinner”with our parents;whether busy or not,we need to give our parents a call and tell them we are fine.Only with our full awareness of caring our parents with gratitude can our parents lead a really happy life.三、万能句型1.As can been seen,…is reflected by the drawing:….2.Just as the caption below summarizes,the implication conveyed in the picture is self-evident:….3.As our pace of life gallops along,increasingly our society is seeing….4.It is revealed in the fact that….5.While it is beyond dispute that…,….6.It is easy to draw this conclusion that….7.Only with our full awareness of…can….

    Of course,advocating culture fusion does not equal to accepting the foreign culture wholly without considering its bad influence.We must admit that each culture has its merits and dregs,which need us to treat them dialectically.

    正确答案:
    It goes without doubt that promises are ubiquitous in our daily life. We can hear varieties of promises either from TV, newspaper or from other mass media. As is shown in the cartoon, even a hen has learned how to promise. Undoubtedly it is hen’s duty to lay eggs. And the eggs of course contain shell, yolk and egg whites. But now all this needs to be promised.
    It is not uncommon to find more such unnecessary promises. For example, to ensure the quality of the goods is the responsibility and duty of a store. However, some stores will stick up a notice promising “there is no fake product here”. It sounds so ridiculous.
    As far as I’m concerned, doing is better than saying. All the customers want is first level service. Therefore, more emphasis should be laid on how to improve the quality of goods as well as that of the employees. Only in this way can we make the economy prosper in a more healthy way.

    Directions:  Please write an essay in about 150 words entitled “Water Shortage” based on the following outline. The first sentence has been given.   Outline:  (1)Water shortage has become much more serious than before.   (2)The chief reasons for water shortage.  (3)My suggestions.

    正确答案:
    Water shortage has become much more serious than before. According to the statistics. 2.2 billion people in 62 countries are facing the shortage of fresh water in the world; there is 300 million people in 26 countries are severely short of water. It is expected that other eight countries will join the 26 countries for severely lacking water in 2010 and 2.7 billion people around the world will face the problem of severe water short-age in 2025.
    The chief reason for water shortage is the low efficiency of water using. As we can see, some water can be reused. For example, we can use the water that we have used to wash clothes, to rinse the toilet. As statistics show, one ton of water will be used while one ton of paper is produced. But with the use of recycled water, the consumption of water can be reduced to half ton. Obviously, with the use of recycled water, the water use efficiency will increase, thus a great lot of water can be saved. But unfortunately, in most of the countries, many companies, particularly in some industries that consume masses of water every day, such as paper making and steel making, haven’t built up their recycle system of water. Lots of water is directly drained without recycling everyday.
    So how to build up more recycle system of water has become most pressing business that can solve the water shortage problem.

    正确答案:
    Tourism—a Blessing or a Misfortune? With the development of the economic and the improvement of people’s living standard, millions of people want to travel to other places by take advantage of their free time. 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.

    Directions:  Please write an essay in 160-200 words entitled “Where To Study—Go Abroad or Stay in China?” based on the following outline  (1)Two opposite views.  (2)Advantages and disadvantages of both.  (3)Your preference.

    正确答案:
    Where To studyGo Abroad or Stay in China Various people may hold absolutely opposite views on whether students should study in China or abroad. Some people insist that ambitious students should study in China because many returned overseas graduates only found their knowledge not available in China. Viewing the same matter from another angle, others may think students studied abroad are more likely to succeed.
    Those with the former idea may indicate graduates from civil universities are more familiar with the situation of China. People holding the latter idea base their theory primarily on the fact overseas graduates have a broader view and more open mind. Over the raging dispute regarding study abroad versus study in China, some people oppose studying abroad because they think most overseas graduated have difficulties in adapting to situations back in China. One objection is civil graduates seldom have new ideas to cope with China’s affairs.
    As for me, I prefer to study abroad. It goes without saying that comparing with the education in developed countries our education is still backward. Further more, overseas students may have conditions to keep an eye over the changes in China when they study abroad. Finally, the truth is that overseas graduates are preferred by more enterprises in China. All these lead to a conclusion that students have more chances to succeed if they have studied abroad

    正确答案:
    【范文】
    Our Disappearing Countryside In many people’s minds, countryside means a place with green trees, beautiful flowers, clear rivers and blue sky, but the notion is changing. Trees and flowers become fewer, rivers are stagnant and the sky turns blurry. Countryside does not agree with the one that in our memory. Our countryside is disappearing.
    People in the whole world are highlighting urbanization and industrialization nowadays for they are the synonyms of prosperity and advance, in spite of how much they should pay for that. The destroyers would never realize that the generous nature gives us the pleasing environment for free is not because it is valueless when compared to practical profits but invaluable until they ruin the last clean pitch on the earth. How pathetic they are! And as residents on the same earth, how pathetic we are!
    Measures should be taken to protect our countryside—the last paradise for human beings. Save water, avoid using one-off stuff, plant more trees, reduce rubbishes and start doing so in this moment, for it is our last chance to keep our disappearing countryside.

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.

    Directions:Please write an essay in about 150 words entitled “To Travel or Not” based on the following outline1) People who like traveling have their reasons. 2) Those who dislike traveling have their reasons. 3) In my opinion, traveling does more good than harm.

    正确答案:
    To Travel or Not Traveling has become a hot topic recently especially after too long a time of working or staying at home. People who like traveling believe that traveling is a learning experience which can expand their scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. And it is also a kind of relaxation good to their health. Free from office work or housework, people can enjoy a pleasant journey with delicious food, beautiful landscape, folk culture and fresh air, etc. Moreover, in terms of economic benefits, traveling can boost tourism, which is a multibillion-dollar industry that supports economic development of a country.
    Those who dislike traveling think that traveling wastes a considerable amount of time, money and energy. For example, traffic and accommodation require money and walking while seeing sights often tires you. What’s more, they argue that traveling can increase the chance of being infected with some diseases and can cause damage to local environment and culture.
    For me, I prefer traveling because traveling does more good than harm in practice. After a long time of working and studying, people need relaxation and traveling is the best choice. In an environment free from all kinds of routines, you will feel all the more relaxed and feel brimful of energy when you return to work or home.
