问答题Practice 7 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Since feminist movement sprang up in the 1960s from North America and Europe, the social status of women has improved a lot globally. And the question of whether both genders should be treated equally is still a heat topic in various fields, of which a specific issue is: Should schools and universities balance the number of male and female students in every subject? Personally, I do not agree with this viewpoint.
Generally speaking, the term feminism can be used to describe a school of thought in circles such as politics, culture or economy emphasizing establishing equal rights and legal protections for women. Feminism has driven many subjects like political, cultural philosophical and sociological theories. It also refers to a movement in favor of gender equality and fight for women's rights and interests.
The real meaning of feminism, however, is often distorted and misunderstood. Absorbing equal number of male students and female students in every subject is not a genuine reflection of gender equality, as it imposes different subjects on both genders indiscriminately without considering the unique properties of each sex. The result would be nothing more than symbolic. In other words, equality is not illustrated by cold numbers, but genuine respect for women. It is undeniable that gender balance in every subject brings some benefits to women, allowing them to work with male classmates, to develop their abilities physically and psychologically, and to cultivate interpersonal relations.
All in all, universities decision makers should weight the requiring trait of a subject and evaluate the characteristics of each gender, and then assign appropriate quota. And the government should prudently reconsider the issue of gender equality and better the situation in real sense.解析： 暂无解析 -

Teachers need to avoid using computers in the classroom at all costs and go back to teaching basic study skills. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write between 100 and 120 words on the Answer Sheet.正确答案：
Keep Up with the World College students are gradually becoming dependent on computers. Some people worry that this phenomena has a bad effect on students’ education. In my opinion, this is one example that the world develops very fast, and we should keep up with the world to enjoy its development.
With the help of computers, students can learn more freely and conveniently by themselves. Besides, using computers in the classroom is also a development in education, which saves the time that teachers take to deliver their lectures, thus enabling students to learn more.
Computers bring much convenience to both students and teachers. However, measures should be taken to make sure that computers are made the best use of, so that students can benefit the most.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Writing Task II (20 points) Directions: Write a composition of no less than about 160 words, saying whether you agree or disagree with the following statement and giving examples: The biggest dangers to our health and environment come from cars. Remember to write your composition on the Answer Sheet.正确答案：
There is an argument that the biggest dangers to our health and environment come from cars. Some people may agree with this, while others may disagree. In my opinion, I don’t think the situation is true.
Firs of all, car brings much convenience to our life. Nowadays, with the fast development of China’s economy and China’s entry into the WTO, each year, there is an increasing number of cars on the roads as millions of new cars are produced. Many Chinese people who live in big cities, to a large extent, rely on cars to go to work every day. Without cars those people will have a lot of trouble going to work.
Secondly, although cars have many drawbacks, there are always many solutions to those problems. One way to get rid of the polluted air is to produce green cars without pollution. Another way is to replace car engines with something else. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars.
Thirdly, cars do post some dangers on our health and the environment, but they are not the biggest cause. Dangers come from many aspects, such as factories or hospitals producing many toxin gas or dumping poisonous water into river.
In sum, on the one hand, we should take measure to resolve the problems; on the other hand, we could also use the scientific and technical productions.

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

第11题：
问答题In the past few decades,“generation gap” has become a quite popular phrase, signifying the barrier between parents and children. But what has caused the barrier, why do people living together disagree with each other? Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic:Who Has Dug The Generation Gap? 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：
Who Has Dug the Generation Gap? Since its invention, the phrase generation gap has spread all over the world in almost an instant. In the past few decades, although human beings are striving toward more common goals, the gap between parents and children seems to be widening. It is high time that we thought about the causes of this prevailing trouble.
The most important reason is that parents and children hold different values. With the constant development of technology, social values are also undergoing continuous changes. Because parents and children belong to quite different times, they naturally belong to different value groups, and this in turn leads to the barrier between different generations. For example, our parents living in the 1960s think that people should cherish their membership in their groups, and should adapt themselves to their groups, but we emphasize individual values and are ready to leave our groups at any moment in search of a better one. It is unlikely for people holding different values to agree on everything in life, and the barrier is, therefore, also unavoidable.
Another important reason for the generation barrier is lack of communication. A good talk can sometimes dissolve the disagreement between people with different values, but the trouble is that there is not enough communication. With the ever increasing pressure in work and life, parents are spending less effort and time with children; the children, faced with heavy study load or various distractions such as IV plays and computer games, are also spending less time with their parents. This results in a lack, or an inability, of communication when it is necessary.
Besides these two general reasons, there may be some special cases. According to a recent report, about 5 per cent of generation gap results from irresponsible parents. Some parents, especially those without good education, tend to evade the duty of raising and caring their children. The same report also reveals that about 3 percent of the problem results from problematic children who consistently refuse parents~ help. This type of cases represents only a small portion, but the problem is often more serious.
In a word, except for some special cases, barriers come into being either because the two parties involved embrace too different values or because they are not talking to each other often enough. After finding out the reasons, we may know that it is wrong to blame parents or children for the barriers, and we should mainly encourage communication, for if parents and children can talk to each other more, barriers will have less opportunity to stay.解析： 本文要求分析父母与子女之间产生隔阂的原因，属于因果关系的说明文。文章引言段采用了开门见山的方式，直接以代沟开始。Thesis statement用的是It is high time that we thought…，婉转但仍然达到了目的。正文段的衔接词很好地体现了各要点间的主次关系，用得非常恰当。结论段虽然提到三个要点，其实质是在强调前面两个，更强化了文章的衔接。因为是谈问题的原因，所以结尾处的最终评论就采用解决方法，非常自然协调。 -

问答题Practice 8 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Some people think people have benefited from modern communications technology, but other people think some people have not benefited at all. To what extent do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Daily communication tools make the distance between people shrink. There are various ways such as mobile phones, Facebook, Twitter and E-mail which changes our life from daily life to work style. As for the dramatic and rapid changes, people in all walks of life hold different opinions. Personally, it is a must to be tolerant of the new technological innovations.
It is undeniable that all these high-tech tools can alienate the virtual interpersonal relationship that exists between people. If we want to tell somebody something, we do not have to really see him, and we can send a short message, a E-mail, or leave one on Facebook. Regardless of the convenience, face-to-face conversations are still one of the best ways to understand each other.
High technologies provide us with more choices which can yield higher efficiency, which can be illustrated from three perspectives. Firstly, it is a useful time-saver for people greatly enjoy social life. Social network enable them to spare the trouble of heavy traffic in rush hours when they need to have contact with friends. Secondly, it is also a money-saver. Compared with the high cost of an official visit to someone or some place, chatting on-site or through telephone is much cheaper. If each company has an E-conference system, information sharing should never be a daydream in the era of information. Lastly, and most importantly, with the great help of new inventions, people may communicate with others without being limited to geographical difference. Namely, no matter where one stays, he or she can get in touch with people on the Internet at any time.
In summary, modem technologies are excellent assistants of our life and work, so it is wise to accept them and make full use of them properly.解析： 暂无解析 -
第17题：
问答题With computers, people can now shop, bank, work and communicate from the home. The danger is that people could become isolated from each other and lose social skills which help them to get along with others. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Write a composition of about 400 words to discuss this topic.正确答案：
In this computer-oriented era, people can do practically everything while still at home. They can do their shopping online, pay bills online, chat online and even work online. In the light of this phenomenon, many fear that this way of tackling things might lead to social isolation, and further to the loss of men's ability to co-exist with one another in society. Personally, however, I don't agree with this view, and it is my firm belief that not only will the Internet bring the world closer together, it will enable men to co-exist better—in the cyberspace, a worldwide community.
First, unsurprisingly, computers and modems have transformed the world into a global village. Messages are sent instantly around the world via the Internet; a bargain is made between a gentleman in Russia and a lady in Argentina; and students studying abroad send voice mails to their loved ones at home, again by using the computer. Indeed, in this fast-paced world, it is impossible to conduct every social contact in a face-to-face manner. Therefore, it is only too natural that efficient online communication is partly taking the place of the time-consuming personal encounter. And why not? This online way of life has helped people on this planet to communicate better, and the fear that people could become isolated from each other in the virtual world is groundless.
At the same time, even if the Internet ensures better social communication, actual social contact is still necessary: Not all business can be handled online, and perfect good will can not be achieved while the parties concerned are far apart. As a matter of fact, the Internet has made people realize the need for contact in actual social settings. Furthermore, communication in the cyberspace and that in the actual world can be complementary to each other-- each shining more brilliantly in the other's company. Sometimes it is fast and efficient to communicate online, while at other times people find it better to communicate in the actual world. Given this, people's ability to co-exist with one another has actually been enhanced, I would say, in this IT era.
In conclusion, the computer and the Internet have brought human relations closer than ever before. To better adapt to this high-tech world, one should master the basic skills of the computer, for one' own sake as well as for the sake of a better and happier co-existence with others.解析：

问答题Practice 3 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Students at schools and universities learn far more from lessons with teachers than from other sources (such as the Internet and television). To what extent do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Rapid development of technology provides convenience and freshness for many aspects of people’s life, including education. Nowadays, students become more reliable on computers for research and are often asked to hand in a perfect paper by schools. Others even have decided to give up the original way of learning and to obtain knowledge through online institutions. These changes in learning and teaching methords have aroused a special concern regarding the fading of teacher s’ giving lectures in classrooms.
Some people observe that compared with that of an original classroom, the role of teachers is beginning to drop because computers can help students study faster. For example, in the classroom, most of students’ intellectual capacities can not be activated, and thus some would be confined to a slow advance in their studies because of others' lower capacity of understanding. However, thanks to the new study mode, pupils could progress in their acquisition of knowledge at their own pace.
The presence of teachers, however, is essential for students because human interaction plays positive and significant roles which can hardly be replaced by the cold machines. Firstly, from teachers, students can gain more than mere knowledge in the textbooks. They can cultivate their interest in certain subjects and establish emotions with students and teachers. They can learn the importance of communication through working in a group and how to respect other students. Furthermore, it is necessary to have teachers in the learning process to learn students' deficiencies and help them solve their problems by repeating explanations, giving extra instructions or even suggesting a tutor. Hence, students can have a bigger chance of passing exams.
To conclude, although computers and the Internet do brings convenience and speed, the role of teachers in the learning process is still very important and it will continue to be in the future because machines cannot replace human interaction.解析： 暂无解析 -

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

问答题Practice 5 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: If a product is of good quality and meets people's needs, people will buy it, Therefore, advertising is unnecessary and is no more than a type of entertainment, To what extent do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
With the popularization of media, many manufacturers take advantage of advertisement to publicize their products. Whether you like it or not, advertisements have become an indispensable part of modern entertainment. Therefore, some believe that they have more entertaining functions instead of genuine promoting objectives. As far as I am concerned, I cannot totally agree with this argument.
Admittedly, as more advertisements tend to invite celebrities like movie stars and pop singers to be their image spokespersons. But the questions are: who pays the bill in advertising areas and what is the intention?
The producers invest great sums of money in the advertisements with the only ultimate purpose of selling more products at a higher price. Although some advertisements have entertaining elements, the original intentions can never change. To begin with, by effective communicative means, the advertisements can attract more audience to enlarge the customer base. In other words, people get to know a product from advertisements on channels like TV or posters on buses. The second level is more important. Advertisement can leave audience with a deeper impression. With the great help of modem media, people can easily sink into a public effect. Consumers are apt to follow trends formed by ads. Last, there is possibility that some ads may contain some false information of the product in order to exaggerate the functions and cover some shortcomings. As a saying goes, “There is no reasonable consumer, but only crazy buyer tempted by advertising.” Ads easily lead to irrational shoppers.
In conclusion, advertisements are a vital element in the commerce for selling products or services. But the entertaining elements should be judged with sense and reason.解析： 暂无解析 -
第22题：
问答题The overuse of modern technologies in recreational activities makes human beings less creative. Do you agree or disagree? Write a composition of about 400 words on this topic.正确答案：
It is universally acknowledged that modern technologies are widely used in our everyday entertainment activities, providing joy and happiness for all. We enjoy kaleidoscopic TV programmes using signals received from satellites; we play music and show films on complex hi-fi stereos; and an increasing number of people surf the Internet every day for information and fun. Under these circumstances, many fear that the overuse of modern technologies in entertainment might result in the gradual loss of human creativity, as man grows to rely almost entirely on machines and high-tech inventions to work entertaining miracles. Honestly, I regard this point of view as downright wrong.
To begin with, it is precisely man's creativity that has made all the modern technologies possible and available, which in turn leads to their creative application in entertainment. Their wide application does not necessarily mean that man is losing his creativity, but simply indicates that this creativity has all along been turned into reality and put to use.
Secondly, rather than stunting man's imagination, the overuse of modern technologies actually enables man to be more and more creative. For instance, Dream Works, the famous American film company, has been designing and producing cartoons using computer technology. From the uni-dimensional The Prince of Egypt to the most lifelike Shrek, whatever one can imagine, it can be created by that computer, together with human intelligence and imagination.
Thirdly, history has proved that wide application of technologies in recreational activities has not affected human creativity. As a matter of fact, human beings have extensively used modern technologies to entertain themselves since the 1950s. However, we find so far no evidence which shows that man's creativity is declining. Instead, we never fail to find new creations appearing in quick succession.
Finally, the development of modern technologies depends on man's creativity. TV sets, CD players, computers and all sort of high-tech appliances are invented and developed by man. And his boundless imagination and endless thirst for more joy and fun will always inspire him to invent better technologies and then enjoy new varieties of entertainment.
To sum up, the fuss about how the overuse of modern technologies might be making people lose their creativity is totally unnecessary. For man, as a ceaseless explorer, will always develop new ways of fun using new types of advanced technologies.解析：

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

问答题Many people hold the view that money is everything. What do you think? Write a composition of 400 words on the following topic, expressing your views on the importance of money. HOW IMPORTANT IS MONEY? 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：
HOW IMPORTANT IS MONEY? No one would deny that money is unimportant. There are certain things that human beings need—food, shelter, perhaps medical care—and these things cost money. But if one has enough money to live on, to pay for the basic essentials of life, is it important to have a lot more money than that? Will your life improve in proportion to the amount of money that you have? Money is important but it does not guarantee happiness.
There is no denying that money can buy a lot. Maybe you do not need much money to pay for simple shelter, but how about if you want a nice, big apartment in a nice neighborhood, or if you want to buy a house? The fact is that people do get on each other's nerves if they are crowded together in a small space, and that a married couple or members of a family are likely to get along better if they are not constantly tripping over each other and asking each other not to be so noisy—if each can find a little privacy from time to time. A big apartment or a house will allow them this privacy.
It is nice to get a little pleasure out of life, a little fun from time to time. Unfortunately, many of the fun things that you can do today cost money. Films, concerts, gyms are available to you only after you have bought the tickets. Delicious food in a restaurant can only be tasted after you have paid for it. Some people believe America is the most fantastic place in the world, while some say it is the hell. Why do their opinions vary so greatly? Because the latter do not have enough money to take advantage of many attractions there.
