2.Text 4It was 3:45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates, Australia’s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on via the group’s on-line service, Death NET. Says Hofsess: “We posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn’t just something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”The full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief, others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia—where an aging population, life extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia. In the US and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death—probably by a deadly injection or pill—to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as terminally ill by two doctors. After a “cooling off” period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54 year old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. “I’m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I’d go, because I’ve watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks,” he says.56. From the second paragraph we learn that ________.[A] the objection to euthanasia is slow to come in other countries[B] physicians and citizens share the same view on euthanasia[C] changing technology is chiefly responsible for the hasty passage of the law[D] it takes time to realize the significance of the law’s passage

    Nowadays more young people can enjoy university education than in the past, but they are faced with another problem: job hunting. Most graduates find it hard to find a satisfactory job, and some have to stay jobless for several years. What do you think may have caused this problem? Write a composition of about 400 words to explain your point of view. The title has been provided for you.Problems in university students' job hunting  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 toss of marks.

    正确答案:
    Problems in university students' job hunting Many years ago, most young people could not go to university because university only accepted a small amount of students. To their delight, young people now find it easier to go to university, but to their dismay, they also find it harder to find jobs. How come university students, who are intelligent, ambitious and knowledgeable, have difficulty in finding jobs? There are several reasons to account for this problem.
    One important reason is that nowadays university students pursue too high a goal. Most of them dream to work in office buildings, and hold contempt for jobs in places where things are made or sold. Some care too much about some minor factors, such as salary, location or comfortableness of the working place. Because of these, students usually narrow down their selections, thus making it harder to find a proper job. For example, most students want to work in cities or in coastal areas, such as Shanghai, Beijing or Guangzhou. Although talents are badly needed in some western provinces, the graduates are unwilling to go there. This naturally makes it hard to find a job in some areas and hard to find a talent in some other areas.
    Another reason is that the majors some students study in universities do not fit in with the demands of the vacant jobs. As the society is developing so quickly, university cannot catch up with it and offer courses to satisfy all requirements. Besides, there are some majors where not many graduates are needed but are admitting many students each year. When these students graduate, they may find that there are almost no vacancies that really need their knowledge. Majors like history or philosophy are examples of this type.
    The last reason is that some employers raise too strict requirements on graduates. Because students stay on campus, most of them do not have time to work. But most companies just want to employ people with at least two-year working experience. This can keep many students from applying for the jobs. Some employers also just want boys, and then the girls will lose the chance of applying for the jobs.
    From the above discussion, we can see that students, universities, and employers should all be responsible for the problems in the job market. To solve the problem, graduates should hold reasonable expectations, university should offer courses to meet the latest requirements of the society and flexibly adjust admission policy, and employers should raise sensible requirements on candidates. If all these three parties make joint efforts, university students will soon find that finding a job is not as hard as they expected.

    Directions: You should write a composition on the topic Positive and Negative Effects of Computer. You should write about 160 words. Now write the composition on the Answer Sheet.

    正确答案:
    Positive and Negative Effects of Computer With the rapid development of information technology, computers play more and important part in our daily life. Nowadays, it has paid more people attentions than before. Different people have different attitudes.
    Most people think that computers have positive effects on us. Firstly, it can enrich our horizon. We can learn more knowledge and get more information about the world. Secondly, it can make our office work efficient. Instead of these paper, pencil, ruler, calculator and so on, now we can deal with the files, cartographies, tables by a computer. Thirdly, it can make our communication easily. It is more convenient to talk to parents or friends when they are far away for each other or cannot meet instantly. Moreover, it is good for our children in the school. Their classes are no longer dull, instead of colorful. Maybe they can learn more useful knowledge by see a movie.
    It goes without saying that every coin has two sides, so does computers. Many teenagers become so addicted to computer games or online chat that they ignore their study. Some of them even do not go to school instead of go to the Internet cafes. In order to play a game, they maybe steal money even robbing others. In that case, they will become a criminal. Besides, some smart criminals are use of cyber to crime, they are called “hackers“.
    As far as I am concerned, the positive effects of computer are important as the negative effects. Therefore, we should make good use of computers and let them do well to people and make our life wonderful.

Where do the problems lie? Write a composition giving your opinion about the problems. You should write at least 160 words.

    正确答案:
    There is a strange phenomenon that many college students passed college English tests, and some even with high scores, but they could not properly use it in real life. How does this happen? I think several reasons lie behind this phenomenon.
    First reason connects with the English classes. The teaching is teacher-centered and the only thing for the students to do is take notes down and recite as many grammar rules as they can. The materials are not good for ability improving, for the emphasis is always on the multiple choices. The students can get rare chance to speak out their true feelings. Secondly, the environment for the students to practice their oral English is hard to find. English corners can only be found in college once a week. And most of the time they keep silent.
    Now,it is time to change all this. On the one hand, the materials should add more practical subjects. And there should be a shift concerning the teaching emphasis, from teacher-centered to students-centered. On the other hand, more English speaking environment should be provided to the students.

Please write your composition on the Answer Sheet.

    Reading is an Excellent Way to Increase Your KnowledgeWe Chinese have a tradition of enjoying reading. In my opinion, reading is an excellent way to increase one’s knowledge.
    Firstly, books are the most comprehensive source of knowledge from which we can get all the nourishment we need for our mind. Secondly, books are quite cheap and available everywhere. Finally, reading is the most flexible of all the ways to obtain knowledge. Compared with listening to radio or watching TV, we can read books whenever and wherever we like, and we can read as many times as we wish.
    However, there is one problem about reading. There are all kinds of books in the world, good or bad. Good books are beneficial to our soul while bad ones are harmful to our mind. Therefore, it is of great importance for us to separate good plants from wild weeds.

    There are certainly many teachers in a university, and different teachers teach in different ways. Now there is a growing, trend among students to expect teachers to make their teaching enjoyable, adding some jokes in the process of teaching, for example. Do you think this expectation is reasonable? Write a composition of about 400 words on this topic, and you should supply a title for your composition.  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:
    Enjoyable Teaching is Necessary Like the saying goes, there are no two peas that are exactly the same. Similarly, there cannot be two teachers who are exactly the same. They may possess different amount of knowledge, hold different attitudes to students, and more importantly, exhibit different teaching manners. We have suffered some classes where the teacher only talks about textbooks and pays little attention to students' feeling; we have also enjoyed some classes where the teacher encourages understanding and participation. I strongly believe that teachers should make their teaching more enjoyable.
    The first benefit from enjoyable teaching is that students can remember better. University courses are usually about complex and abstract topics, so students usually find it hard to remember the teaching contents. If teachers can try to make their teaching enjoyable, what they teach can become easy to remember. A course about classical art in Europe which I took last year can be a good example. As the course covered many artists in different countries, it was very difficult to remember the key ideas. But rather than give dry talks, the teacher used slides, video clips, and several games in his class. Most of the students said that they had never expected this course to be so easy.
    Besides, enjoyable teaching can also help students avoid various distractions. University students are a curious group, they are energetic and willing to try everything they are interested in. Nowadays, university is no longer an isolated garden, and students are faced with various attractions, such as computer games, internet chatting, making money, and the opposite sex. These may keep students from focusing their mind on study. But if the teaching is attractive, the teacher can attract students' interest, thus preventing them from engaging in other harmful activities. A recent research also indicates that in universities that encourage enjoyable teaching method, students tend to pay more attention to study and academic achievements.
    Thirdly, enjoyable teaching can help establish a good teacher-student relationship. University students should not only acquire knowledge, but also learn to grow up to be a person, and therefore university should also be a place where teachers and students learn to be friends. If a teacher just talks about knowledge in class and pays no attention to students' interests and feelings, they cannot become friends. If a teacher tries to make his teaching enjoyable, however, he can surely encourage students to participate in class, and in this process, there will be more interaction between them, thus making the foundation for them to become friends.
    From the above discussion, we can safely conclude that enjoyable teaching can bring many benefits. It can not only help students remember the teaching contents and focus better on their study, but also help students and teachers to become friends. Therefore, it can be predicted that if all teachers learn to teach in enjoyable ways, students will not only become better learners, but also better persons. When this comes true, our society is sure to see a much brighter future.

What bad influences do the computer games have on people and what should we do with them? Write a composition to give your views. You should write at least 160 words.

    正确答案:
    Recently, the fact that more and more students have spent too much time playing computer games has aroused great concern. It's high time to prevent them from indulging in those games.
    Though the computer and the Internet have brought us great convenience and pleasure in getting information, entertainment and contact with others, we should not ignore their negative impacts on people, especially young students. To begin with, to play computer games excessively can damage the players' physical health, especially their eyes. In addition, those students who are addicted to computer games tend to neglect their studies, idle away their time and even commit crimes.
    From what has been discussed above, I think it is imperative that some effective measures be taken to solve the problem. To begin with, the computer access for students should be controlled and the time students spend on computer games should be limited. Then, the quality of computer software and games for young students should be examined in case they are adversely influenced by inappropriate programs that involve violence and sex content. Finally, the law and the regulation should be made to protect students from being corrupted and misled by computer games. Meanwhile, parents and teachers should take responsibility for educating the students to realize the harmful effects of computer games.

    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。

    Practice 2  You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.  Write about the following topic:  Many people are busy with work and do not have enough time to spend with families and friends. Why does this happen? What are the effects of this on family life and society as a whole?  You should write at least 250 words.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    Imagine that you are in a car parked on the road during rush hour for more than one hour. You may be regretful for wasting such a long time and losing time to get together with family. This question will be the main topic of the following essay; besides, it will also tall about its effects at the same time.
    As for those brief-case men and white collar, they have to cope with a lot of issues at work. And thus only leave their families a small amount of time. There are many reasons for this. Firstly, living in modern society, it is impossible to avoid the pressure from both inside and outside. In order to maintain a good public praise or just get a further promotion, people not only care about their own feelings but those of others’ as well. Secondly, the world is full of material stimulation, encouraging people to chase their happiness, materially. Without money, no one can live in society in his most-wanted way. In order to own a satisfactory living standard, they have no choice but work harder. Last but not least, the advances of modern technology enable people to communicate with each other without seeing each other. This is almost a tragedy for mankind. If we spend all our time on the Internet, we will lose so many traditional ways like face-to-face talking and body language.
    Also, the influence of this issue should never be neglected for society: Cumulative stress from work becomes the potential health killer. People are easily infected with psychological illnesses like anxiety, eccentricity and insomnia. In addition, due to materialism and realism, society as a whole has easily become money-oriented, where people make judgments of achievements just according to the materials. Finally, over-dependence on telecommunication leads to the lack of recalling traditions and rethinking of the history and culture, which is a shame for civilized people.
    Naturally, a profession is fundamental for all modern city dwellers without any question. However, the family is the ultimate destination for them indeed.

    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.

But in some countries, the use of alternative sources of energy, including wind and solar power, are encouraged. Is this trend a positive or a negative development?  You should write at least 250 words.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    The competition between nations largely depends on who can have a head start in energy after Industrial Revolution, as many mainstream energy sources are not renewable. Some people believe that traditional fuels, namely coal, oil, and gas, are the main sources rather than alternative sources like wind energy and solar energy. In my opinion, alternative sources of energy should be encouraged to utilize throughout the world.
    Human beings’ use of energy in fossil fuels has had a long history and already gained popularity in most countries. Nonetheless, those traditional resources are exhaustible and will dry up in a foreseeable future. Alternative ways should be found for a sustainable future.
    There are mainly two benefits of using alternative resource: Firstly, most new energies are green, i.e. environmental friendly, and using alternative sources reduce the environmental pollution.. Secondly, alternative sources of energy are regarded as relatively more sustainable, and are more likely to meet the increasing demands of social and cultural development in modern society. It is often considered, however, that using alternative sources of energy such as nuclear energy is a quite dangerous thing for human beings and our planet. Some other alternative sources of energy like wind energy and solar energy are not quite effective for the sake of huge cost.
    In summary, the use of the alternative sources can accelerate social development and push the whole world forward rapidly, which does no harm to the environment and has high effectiveness. As technology advances day by day, it is hopeful that all the countries can use green energy at a low cost.

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.

Now in China the anti-addiction system and a “real name checking” system have been adopted in Cyber cafes to prevent players under 18 from becoming addicted to online games. What do students think about this system? What is your opinion about this?

    正确答案:
    The Anti-Addiction System Now in China, the adoption of the anti-addiction system and a “real name checking” system in netbars has led to a heated debate among students.
    Some say that students’ self-discipline is very limited and now at least 14 percent of the urban teenage players are addicted to the Internet and some children even repeatedly disappear from home to spend their nights at local Internet cafes, and play truant from school. Therefore, they have failed quite a few school exams. In this sense, the new policy can prevent minors from developing online addiction.
    Others claim that the anti-addiction system is only a means to an end and cannot remove the root of the online addiction completely and they believe the key is to guide the minors to improve their self-control and balance their work and play.
    In my opinion, the latter point hits home for me because it cuts to the chase. However, education is a long process and takes time, which means before education produces effects on children, some supplementary measures should also be taken to speed up the process and the anti-addiction system is one of them.

    Recently, the issue of intellectual dishonesty has gained much more attention and it has become a hot topic since some scandals have been exposed. Honesty is considered as one of the most cherished virtues. Anyone who wants to be successful cannot do so without this reputation. However, in the academic circle, the phenomenon of intellectual dishonesty shows a tendency to increase.
    The reasons accounted for this phenomenon can be explained as follows:
    Firstly, some professors rely on copying others’ works in order to get high reputation in their research fields. This can be achieved without too much hard work and it is comparatively easier.
    Secondly, there exists some kind of standard in such places as universities. Therefore, some people plagiarize in order to meet the standard as well as to get more money when they have the papers published.

    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.

    Directions:Write a composition of no less than about 160 words, giving your views on the following question:  Should companies give men and women equal opportunities to have time off work to look after their children?

    正确答案:
    Concerning the topic of roles that men and women play in looking after their children, I hold the opinion that companies should give both equal opportunities to have time off work to do this job. I’ve got the following reasons to support my point of view.
    Firstly, both parents should be encouraged to take an active part in looking after their children. It is the parents’ responsibility to protect and take care of the children. It is unfair to leave this burden all on women. Second, the children can develop all-round abilities under the caring of both father and mother. The father can teach them to be brave, strong-willed and open-minded, while the mother can help them be more considerate and kind-hearted. Third, if the men can also get time off work and attend to the children, the society can be more harmonious. Not only would the family benefit from this flexibility, but also would the whole society. In this way, employees get a lighter mood and the working efficiency in turn can be lifted.
    To conclude, it is an inevitable part of social change. And this change can bring advantages to both the families and the society as a whole.

    College seniors are faced with the job market that is intensely competitive. Many graduates complain that the market poses too high a requirement on them. On the other hand, many employees have also voiced many complaints about new recruits. But the fact is that many graduates cannot succeed in job interviews, and some lose their jobs due to poor performance on their positions. As it is hard to change the overall social environment, graduates need to adjust themselves. What should seniors do to get prepared to prevent similar problems in their future jobs? Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic:On Getting Prepared for Our Future Jobs  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:
    On Getting Prepared for Our Future Jobs College graduates get more freedom in choosing their jobs. But facts show that a free job market is really a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it brings graduates wider selection of jobs, on the other hand, it imposes a higher requirement on these inexperienced job seekers. Many have failed in interviews; some are performing rather badly on their positions, or get fired. To avoid these problems, I think we college students must make at least three efforts to get prepared for the job market.
    First, we must learn to apply knowledge to practical use. Our future jobs will require much from our knowledge, but the actual way by which the knowledge is used may be widely different from class discussion, so only when we can properly apply classroom knowledge to practical use can the knowledge become really useful. To do this, we should develop the habit of analyzing actual problems with our course knowledge. Many courses include a component called case study, and this is a valuable opportunity to apply knowledge to practical use. Meanwhile, we can also learn to apply our knowledge to our discussion or reflection of various issues of interest.
    Besides, we should also learn to cooperate with others. Though the society is becoming increasingly competitive, success in future jobs should really come from competition with opponents and cooperation with colleagues. This is why the concept of teamwork is becoming so popular now. To get prepared for this, we should learn to get along with our classmates at school, to understand others, and to make necessary compromise. These experiences may prove very helpful when we have to get ourselves accepted by a new working group.
    The last preparation is for possible failure. We all crave for success, but most success comes after successive failure. As a result, we should know that on the way to success, there must be many failures waiting for us, and only when we can overcome these failures can we reach the success. A recent survey conducted among students from 10 universities indicates that only 20 per cent of them axe aware of the potential threat of failure. Some universities are offering courses on failure or depression management to cultivate a positive attitude to problems in one's life. I think they axe really necessary.
    So to sum up, college students must get prepared long before graduation to succeed in their future jobs. We should acquire, as early as possible, the habit of putting knowledge to practical use, and learn to cooperate with others and manage failures properly. Although the requirement from the job market seems unfair, the only way to deal with it is to get prepared instead of making useless complaints.

    Advances in technology and science have solved many problems. However,they have also created new problems,among which pollution has attracted much attention of the public. Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic,discussion the problems caused by pollution.ON POLLUTIONIn the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.  Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

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

    Recently many cities have built university towns in suburbs and relocated many universities from downtown area to these newly built campuses. What do you think may be some of the major results of such arrangement? Write a composition of about 400 words to discuss your opinion. You may talk about both positive and negative ones. The title of the article has been supplied to you.Results of Building University Towns  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:
    Results of Building University Towns As education has come to be viewed as one of the bases for a nation's power, it has attracted more and more attention in the new century. One way that government tries to support education is to build university towns. In the past few years, cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Guangzhou have all built university towns, some even building more towns to host large numbers of universities in the area. This new arrangement naturally has led to many consequences, some being positive, some not. In my opinion, there are mainly three major results worth discussing.
    Firstly, building university towns improves teaching facilities for universities. In the past, most universities occupied only a small piece of land in downtown area. The classrooms are old and small, and teaching equipment is out-dated. But after moving to university towns, all the universities certainly have a much larger campus, together with new buildings and newly-purchased equipment. Take my university for an example. Before moving to the new campus, it had a campus of only about 200 mu, and usually three to four colleges crammed in the same building. Now the new campus is as large as 900 mu, and every college has its own building. Besides, there are more computer labs and classrooms with multi-media equipment. In this sense, moving to the university towns is undoubtedly a progress for the school.
    Secondly, building university towns can offer students a better study environment. We all know that students are supposed to focus their mind on study, but if the school is located in downtown areas, there may be too many things to distract them. For example, girls may spend much time window shopping, and boys may spend more time watching movies. But university towns can solve this problem. On the one hand, these towns are usually located in suburbs. It is very inconvenient to go window shopping, so students are forced to focus on study. On the other hand, universities provide students with very good study facilities, such as library, reading room, and computer lab. Many teachers find that the students are studying harder than they did in old campus.
    Of course, there are some problems with building university towns, the most serious one is traffic problem. As university towns are located from 20 to 50 km away from cities, it may take about one hour to go there. Students have to spend more time and money when they go to the city, and teachers have to spend more time traveling to and from the suburban campuses. Remote location also means that schools have to spend more on traffic than in the past, and this expense may be considerably big for some universities.
    All in all, although there may be inconveniences, building university towns can be very beneficial for universities and students. If there were no university towns, most schools would still stay in their narrow space, and teach students in small classrooms with worn out equipment. In that case, there cannot be much improvement for education, in its real sense.

    With the rapid development of world economy, energy problem has become a heated issue confronted by many nations. Many people are worrying that one day all the energy would run out and nothing but waste is left to future generations. Write a composition of about 400 words with the following title, giving your suggestions on the solutions of energy problem.HOW TO SOLVE THE ENERGY PROBLEMIn 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 TO SOLVE THE ENERGY PROBLEM Energy is one of the biggest problems people are faced with today. Many people are afraid that the amount of our natural resources is very limited, and that if we use it at the present rate, the world is most likely to run out of oil, coal and metals, and to run short of food in the near future. Since this will lead to a serious energy crisis and thus threaten mankind's survival, it is urgent to take effective measures to solve this problem.
    The majority of people respond to the problem with a clamor for more severe conservation of our natural resources. It is necessary because much of our energy in the form of oil, coal, iron, gas, electricity, food and the like has been wasted prodigally in the industrial and personal consumption. In some countries, this waste becomes habitual and traditional, to the extent that people are seldom aware of it in their daily life and prone to think of natural resources as inexhaustible. So it is argued that ff all people realize that wastefulness in dealing with these natural resources means that we will leave our descendents a devastated world, and if all people make serious efforts to practice conservation in using energy, the present drain on the limited and irreplaceable resources will certainly slow down.
    But conservation alone is not all the answer. Another and perhaps the best way to solve the energy problem is to develop new sources of energy. It is obvious that even if we can save much energy by using it carefully, we probably cannot avoid using up certain natural resources in the future. However abundant the mineral wealth of the country may be, it does not reproduce itself. When the resources are gone, they are gone forever and are bound to be exhausted ultimately. Practicing conservation can only delay the energy crisis, but cannot solve it completely. In the long run, we must try to develop substitutes such as solar energy, nuclear energy and so on. We must find new supplies in unexplored areas such as new kinds of food in the ocean and new kinds of power on other planets.
    Human beings are by nature optimistic. Faced with the approach of energy crisis, we certainly should live a new life based on conservation not waste and even practice a rational system ff necessary. But the best solution would be to spend our money and energy on developing new natural resources.

    Part of the reform in university education is collecting tuition from students. University education used to be almost free, but since a few years ago, many universities have required their students to pay for their education, and mostly at very high price. What do you think is the result of this? Write a composition of about 400 words to explain some of the important consequences. You may discuss both positive and negative ones. The title has been provided for you.Results of Collecting Tuition  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:
    Results of Collecting Tuition As a proverb goes, there is no free lunch in this world. But this did not apply to China's higher education in the past, as students virtually paid nothing for their study. With the economic booming and growing demand for talents, universities are required to admit more students, and are allowed to collect tuition from students as well. Viewing this policy more than a decade later, we may find that it has brought about quite mixed consequences.
    The first obvious consequence is that schools can offer better teaching resources. In the past, universities got their money from the government, but it was usually not much. Now with the large amount of money from students, most universities are spending generously on teaching facilities such as teaching and dormitory buildings, multimedia equipment, and on acquisition of more books and internet access for students and teachers. These have greatly improved the hardware and software of university education, and both schools and students may profit from it.
    Another important consequence is that students' motivation in study is enhanced. This may be unexpected, but easy to understand. When students enjoyed free education, they did not view it as a hard-earned opportunity, and many who disliked their majors simply idled away their stay on campus. But when students have to pay a lot for having their classes, they will liken idling as wasting their money, consequently most of them are studying hard. It is just like you won't throw away your dishes if you eat in a luxurious restaurant. A questionnaire given to juniors and seniors in 100 universities across the nation has also supported this explanation.
    However, this policy has also placed a heavy financial burden on students' parents. The average tuition for university students now is about 5000 yuan every year, which means that parents have to prepare about 20,000 yuan to cover the education of one child. This is too heavy a load for parents in rural areas as well underdeveloped cities. There have been reports that some parents committed suicide because they felt ashamed for not being able to provide their children's tuition.
    In general, collection tuition has brought about a quite complex picture. While helping schools improve their teaching resources and encouraging students to study harder, it also creates heavy financial burden for parents. Method must to be found to tap the advantages and resolve threats from the disadvantages. Only when both aspects are taken into consideration can the new policy bring real profit to university students and the whole society.

    问答题
    Some people think that parents should plan their children's leisure time carefully. Others believe that children should decide for themselves how to spend their free time. Which opinion do you agree? Write a composition of about 400 words to state your view.

    正确答案:
    Childhood is a decisive period in the process of one's growth. Therefore, many people think that parents should carefully plan not only their children's school education but also their spare time. Other people, however, argue that children should have the freedom to plan their own extracurricular life. On balance, I would side with those parents who respect children's freedom and independence.
    If children have the freedom to make decisions on how to spend their spare time and develop their interests, they will gradually form a sense of responsibility and become more capable in the world. Take myself as a good example. My parents are like good teachers and helpful friends in my life. As I remember, they never excessively interfered with my life and always left enough freedom to me so that I could embark upon what I liked to do in my spare time. They quite understood that my weekdays were occupied with a heavy workload, and that only in my spare time I could have a change of pace. Meanwhile, although mutual understanding and tolerance were an important part of my childhood life, in no way does it mean that they spoiled me. They were austere teachers when I made mistakes, and helpful friends when I came across difficulties. Owing to their understanding, tolerance, guidance, and above all, love, I have grown up to be a person of self-confidence, optimism, and independence, ready to meet any challenges in my life. Without the free family environment that my parents carefully designed for me, I wouldn't have lived such a happy life.
    On the contrary, some parents expect too much of their children, depriving them of all their independence and freedom. These parents would rather sacrifice their children's interests and happiness for nothing but good scores, thus resulting in serious misunderstanding between parents and children. Some parents even went so far as to plan their children's schedule, filling every minute with study task. In this ease, children are deprived of happiness because they are bound hand and foot by endless homework, numerous exams and boring evening or weekend classes. Furthermore, having no freedom to plan their own life, these children are more likely to become introvert, heavily dependent on their parents when they grow up. This will definitely affect their growth. For one thing, since they have no opportunity to develop their independent thinking and explore their potential, they will find it very difficult to adjust themselves to the competitive society. For another, confining them in an ivory tower will make it hard for them to communicate with others. This will affect their career development in the future because the communication between people plays a major role in the workplace, and is one of the most important elements in achieving career success. Obviously, parents' excessive interference with children's after-school life, if carried to the extreme, can cause serious damage to both their happy childhood and their career in the future.
    To sum up, I believe that parents should leave enough freedom and privacy to their children with a view to cultivating their character. As long as parents allow their children the necessary freedom accompanied by careful guidance, their children will grow up to be independent, responsible and successful.
