Directions:Write an essay based on the following chart.In your writing,you should interpret the chart,and You should write about 150 words on the ANSWER SHEET.
答案：解析：The bar chart shows the general trend of university students whotake parttime jobs at different stages during their college life.Seeing from the chart,more than half of the college students,about 66.77%take a parttime job at their first year.And the proportion increases slightly year by year,til the last year,the proportion reaches the maximal number,surging to 88.24%.There are basically three reasons behind this trend.To begin with,most students are eager to take a parttime job in the purpose of earning some money,which can ease their parents'burden.Besides,they can acquire more experience before officially entering the society.And with more experience,they can easily get a job compared to those who do not have any experience.Finally,they can not only turn what they have learnt into the application,but also learn more which they cannot obtain from their books.In my view,getting a parttime job is a good practice.However,the major task of students is still the study.They should make a balance between their academic life and their working life. -

问答题Directions： Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should （1）Write out the messages conveyed by the cartoon. （2）Give your comments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.解析：

问答题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解析：
第一段可以陈述一下现状，然后由提问引出主题；第二段具体说明使用电子词典的好处；第三段转折，指出使用电子词典的弊端，并在末尾提出作者的个人观点。这样安排正好符合作文要求。在陈述电子词典的优缺点时层次一定要分明，最好用一些明显的标志性词语，给阅卷人思路清晰的感觉。

问答题Practice 1Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “More and more teenagers use cell phones.” You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.正确答案：
【范文】
My View on the Use of Cell Phone among Teenagers It is usual if you notice a teenager in a school uniform speaking through a cell phone on the street.
It is very convenient to have a cell phone at hand. In the event of an emergency, they can call their parents or teachers or even the police for help by cell phone. They can send text messages to their classmates exchanging ideas or seeking assistance in their learning when they are away from one another. And their parents will not be very worried as it is rather easy for them to contact their children and check their whereabouts and what they are doing by cell phone.
However, some teenagers might indulge themselves in showing how fashionable their cell phones are to their peers. Such behavior might prove contagious and soon other users will be tempted to pester their parents for a showier new model of cell phone. What is annoying to teachers is that the ringing of cell phones will easily disturb the class if some of the students forget to switch off their cell phones in class.
In conclusion, parents should think twice before they buy a cell phone for their children at primary or secondary schools.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Task II(20 points) Directions:Write on the topic given below in no less than about 160 words on the Answer Sheet. In your essay, you should first outline your ideas, and then give examples. Topic: What, in your opinion, is the best way to keep fit and healthy?正确答案：
The Best Way to Keep Fit and Healthy A fit and healthy body is the base of wealth and wisdom. Good health enables us to enjoy our life and achieve what we hope for in our career. On the contrary, poor health tends to deprive us of our interest in everything around us. Only by keeping ourselves healthy and strong can we feel energetic and vigorous in studying, working and living a happy life. People aware of the health problems bring up with a lot of ways to keep fit and healthy. However, the best way to keep fit and healthy is to exercise more and eat properly.
Firstly, physical exercise is very crucial in order to keep fit and healthy. In taking part in out-door sports, we are closer to the nature and can take in fresh air. The beauty of nature will keep us clear-headed, which is essential to our health. Secondly, proper nutrition is important for our body, so we have to keep a balanced diet and maintain a regular eating habit. It is important for us to take more fruits and vegetables because they provide vitamins and they help in the process of digestion. At the same time, we should avoid eating too much food rich in sugar and fat.
In conclusion, if we stick to the proper ways of exercise more and eat properly, we’ll lead a healthy life and become as fit as a fiddle.

问答题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 study—Go 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解析：

You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.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.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Your class has recently had a discussion about testing. For homework, your teacher has asked you to write a composition in no less than 120 words, giving your opinion about the following statement: A test can tell the whole story. Please write your composition on the Answer Sheet.正确答案：
Can a Test Tell the Whole Story?In the old days, testing was regarded as an important way of electing government officials. Now, testing is still the main way to evaluate students’ ability. However, can a test tell the whole story? In my mind, the answer is absolutely no!
Firstly, a test can only assess a student’s learning states at a particular period of time, but not their all-round ability. Nowadays, the education is mostly test-oriented, which seriously hampers the all-round development of the young. Secondly, sometimes the test result is not objective at all. Many students got their excellent scores actually by cheating. What’s more, the content of the test may not necessarily cover all the points taught in the class.
In sum, a test does play a role in evaluating a student’s leaning states. But a simple test cannot explain the whole story. Now the education for all-around development is what we badly need in China.解析： 暂无解析 -

答案：解析：The table shows that the income sources of Chinese students are quite different from those of American students.In China,85%of students'money is from their parents while in America only 40%ofstudents'money is provided by their parents.Chinese students earn only 5%from part-timc jobs and 5%from student loan.However,American students got 20%and 25%of their money from these two sources respectively.In addition,fellowship or scholarship takes up 15%of American students'income while income from this source for Chinese students occupies only 5%.There are probably two reasons contributing to the differences.First,in China,students without sustainable income are still considered dependent on parents.Therefore,it is natural for them to ask their parents for money.By contrast,American students over 18 years have developed more senses of financial independence.Second,since America is more developed than China,it is relatively easier for American students to find part-time jobs.Therefore,a larger proportion of income comes from part-time job in America.I believe in future,more Chinese students will realize the necessity of self-dependence and try to make their own Iiving through part-timejobs and other ways. -

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. -

问答题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.解析： 这是一篇问题解决型作文。要严格按照提纲中的三个要点来安排作文的结构。第一段首句引用已给出的句子直入主题，下面可用事实支持主题，可用一些数字使事实更具说服力，也可引用现实生活中的实例引起人们的共鸣；第二段具体分析产生水资源缺乏的原因；第三段针对以上原因提出解决问题的办法。

单选题Since 1960, the fast-growing town of Hotstone, Arizona, has drawn water from the Gray River, which feeds Lake Mudfish. If the town’s water use continues to grow at its present rate, in about 20 years the water level of Lake Mudfish will inevitably decrease to the point that it can no longer support its biologically fragile population of fish. The prediction above is based on which of the following assumptions?AAs the town’s water requirements grow, it will not be able to meet those requirements by drawing on water sources other than the Gray River.
BSince 1960, the lake’s population of fish has become more biologically fragile.
CThe amount of water that the lake loses to evaporation each year will increase over the next two decades.
DThere are multiple sources of water besides the Gray River that feed into Lake Mudfish.
EThe town of Hotstone will be able to reverse its trend of increasing water use if it implements an aggressive water conservation program.

【范文】
Living in the College Town In recent years, college towns have been thriving across China as a result of rapid economic and cultural development. Students hold different views on living in these remote areas of their cities.
Many of them loathe the isolation from city life. They complain about the tedious experience of catching the shuttle bus to the outskirts every day. And what annoys them more is that they are detached from normal campus life and they find few teachers to interact with. However, quite a number of students argue that staying away from the bustling surroundings will eventually benefit their academic performance.
As one of the students living in a college town, I have deeply experienced the inconvenience and monotony. Therefore, some measures should be taken so that more attention can be given to the students in the college town. On the one hand, more cultural events and recreation activities can be launched. On the other hand, a closer teacher-student relationship should be established so as to strengthen their communication.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Directions： Cars play an important role in modern society. But they are also responsible for a good part of air pollution in big cities. Write an essay on car and air pollution and base your composition on the outline below: （1）the serious problem of air pollution caused by cars; （2）your suggestions on how to deal with the problem. You should write about 150 words neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.正确答案：
Cars and Air Pollution Cars are indispensable in modern society. However, too many cars have created a lot of serious problems. Besides traffic congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, cars are responsible for a good part of air pollution in big cities. All the time, they are pumping a huge amount of waste gases into the atmosphere. These gases are very harmful, causing disease and even death. Last winter, car fumes formed heavy smog over Beijing, making the sky gloomy for weeks and doing harm to people’s health.
One possible solution to the problem is to develop clean cars and clean fuels. In Beijing some of the buses have begun to run on natural gas, which does not give off as much carbon dioxide as the petrol. In Tsinghua University, campus buses are driven by electricity. But it may take decades for the new models of clean cars and clean fuels to completely replace the traditional ones.
Another solution is to improve modern public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. If the public transportation system is efficient and convenient enough, most people will choose means of public transportation over private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will be reduced greatly.
On the whole, the problem of air pollution caused by cars can only be solved by the co-efforts from the government and the public and with the help of science and technology.解析：
本篇作文同样属于问题解决型，作文第一段首先肯定了汽车在现代生活中占据着不可替代的位置，接着提出汽车过多排放出大量尾气，对环境造成的严重影响；第二、三段提出了可能的解决办法，即开发清洁能源和提高交通系统，减少私家车的数量；最后一段强调汽车所造成的空气污染问题需要政府和公众联合的努力。

The advantages and disadvantages of having a private car;3. Your suggestions on how to improve the sales and use of private cars and the public transportation in big cities.正确答案：
【参考范文】
We live in 21st century. It has become a common desire for young and middle-aged people to own their own cars. For a car of his or her own is generally taken as the sign of a modern man.
However, I always wonder why do people spend so much money and time buying, maintaining and parking a private car and risking their lives in the crowded traffic jams during the rush hours when there is a very efficient public transportation system by which people can go anywhere quickly and conveniently? Also, wouldn’t it be better to develop and improve on a better subway, commuter bus and a nation-wide railway and superhighway system in big cities?
Therefore, what I’d like to do now is to see and wait. And, in turn, I suggest the government should restrict the buying and selling of private cars in big cities to protect our environment.解析： 暂无解析 -

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.解析： 这篇作文是典型的对比选择型作文。第一段阐述赞成旅游的人们的观点和理由，可以从增长知识、有利于健康及促进经济发展等角度进行论述，和作文要求中的第一点”论述喜欢旅游的人的理由”相对应；第二段论述反对旅游的人的观点和理由，可以从浪费金钱、时间和精力等方面着手，与题目要求中的第二点”论述不喜欢旅游的人的理由”相照应；第三段提出作者本人支持旅游的理由，符合作文要求中的第三点”我认为旅游利大于弊”。在论述中可以使用表示连接和过渡的词语，如：moreover，in terms of，while，for example，what’s more，for my part，if等，使文章连贯流畅。

问答题Practice 3Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “As the popularity of the Internet continues to increase, newspapers will soon become a thing of the past.” You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.正确答案：
【范文】
Undoubtedly, the Internet has become a major choice when looking for information or seeking pleasure for us modern people. It provides us with instant news stories, color pictures, and video clips. Based on this, many people maintain that the Internet outweighs the newspapers, and hence will replace the latter one. However, the extinction of the newspaper will not be seen in a relatively short time. The following are the reasons.
First of all, the convenience of the newspaper is its biggest advantage. We could fold a piece of newspaper and put it in our pocket when taking a bus. Some would argue that using other devices such as cell phone, laptop, etc, we could easily get access to the Internet, thus looking for news. But this requires electronic devices and the number of the people who have such tools is still not high.
In addition, the Internet does no good to our health. Exposure to radiation cannot be avoided when we access the internet, by whatever means we use. Newspaper, in contrast, has no radiation at all. For the sake of our health, the newspaper is a better option.
Newspaper has a long tradition in the mass media. Many press and agencies are built on this industry. Once newspaper becomes extinct, the structure of the industries will have to change. Even if newspaper becomes a thing of the past, it will not happen in a short period.解析： 暂无解析 -

【范文】
My Views on the Freedom Given to Young People Young people have more freedom today than they did one hundred years ago, but how much freedom depends on the family. And it is obvious that nowadays young people are given too much freedom by their parents.
As we know, today parents are busy with their work and have no time to get much information about their children, for example what they have done and what kinds of friends they have. This isn’t a good phenomenon because young people can easily get into trouble by drinking too much or mixing with the wrong people. What’s worse, they may get addicted into online games. Therefore, some limitations should be given to young people, such as the prohibition of drinking and smoking and the online time. On the other hand, young people must learn how to be sensible, knowing what should be done and what shouldn’t be done.
In all, I don’t think parents should give their children too much freedom, but it is important for parents and children to reach agreement on some rules.解析： 暂无解析 -

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.解析：
这篇作文是典型的对比选择型作文。第一段阐述赞成旅游的人们的观点和理由，可以从增长知识、有利于健康及促进经济发展等角度进行论述，和作文要求中的第一点”论述喜欢旅游的人的理由”相对应；第二段论述反对旅游的人的观点和理由，可以从浪费金钱、时间和精力等方面着手，与题目要求中的第二点”论述不喜欢旅游的人的理由”相照应；第三段提出作者本人支持旅游的理由，符合作文要求中的第三点”我认为旅游利大于弊”。在论述中可以使用表示连接和过渡的词语，如：moreover，in terms of，while，for example，what’s more，for my part，if等，使文章连贯流畅。
