第4题：
What measures should be taken to eliminate Japan’s fiscal deficit？( )A.To increase the consumption tax by 20 percentage points from its current 5%
B.To increase in taxes of about 10% of GDP
C.To decrease social-security expenditure
D.To hold more government bonds答案：A解析：细节题。答案在第七段最后两句That gives it plenty of room to manoeuvre.Takatoshi Ito，an economist at the University of Tokyo，says increasing the consumption tax by 20 percentage points from its current 5%—putting it at the level of a high-tax European country—would raise￥50 trillion and immediately wipe out Japan’s fiscal deficit。B、C、D三项与题目无关。故本题选A。参考译文：日本人声称他们的经济遭受着“结构性悲观主义”的影响。国外也这样，人们倾向于将日本看作欧元区和美国经济走向的风向标——尽管11月14日公布的第三季度数据表明，日本的年经济增长率达6%，已经从三月的海啸以及核危机中迅速恢复过来，也无法改变人们的固有看法。不过冷静地看日本经济过去十年间的表现，将其与第一个没落的十年相比较，并称之为“第二个没落的十年”，实际上有失偏颇。事实上，折损日本形象的诱因主要是该国的人口结构——该国一半以上的人口已经超过45岁——且日本缺乏有效的政策解决这一问题。即使如此，大部分日本人在过去十年中仍然变得更加富有。总的来说，在2001年至2010年间，日本经济的增长速度是美国经济增长速度的一半。不过，如果比较相同时期人均国民生产总值的增长速度，日本的表现超过了美国和欧元区。部分原因是日本的人口呈缩减趋势，而美国的人口呈上升趋势。虽然劳动生产力的涨幅在2000年至2008年间下跌，稍稍落后于美国，但根据位于东京的亚洲生产组织的结论，用以衡量一个国家如何运用资本和劳动力的全要素生产率在飞速提升。日本的失业率虽比2000年更高，但失业水平仍为欧美失业率的一半。除了能预见的经济停滞，日本经济的其他两个祸根是债务和通货紧缩，而这也部分影响了人口增长并被盲目夸大。人们一直认为日本是个债务国。而事实则是，日本是世界上最大的债权国，拥有253万亿日元(合计3.3万亿美元)的外国净资产。可以确定的是，日本政府是个大债主，它的负债净额也是国民生产总值的一部分，日本是经济合作与发展组织中负债净额最高的国家之一。然而，国际货币基金组织认为，增长的公共债务，并不主要是由于浪费的花销或“不知通向何方的桥梁”，而是因为人口的老龄化。1990年至2010年间，作为国民生产总值组成部分的公共安全花销翻倍，用于支付不断上升的养老费用和医疗费用，而在同时期的税收则出现紧缩。政府税收收入不断减少是个麻烦。日本税收是经济合作与发展组织中最少的国家，只占国民生产总值的17%。然而，低税收的好处是，这给了日本政府很大空间去改革税制。东京大学的经济学家伊藤隆敏说道，将消费税从现在的5%提升20个百分点，让日本消费税比欧洲所有国家都要高，这将会瞬间抹去日本财政中50万亿日元的赤字。这听起来很严酷，但是人口结构又一次起了作用。政府官员说老年人反对增加税收和削减福利，然而人数相对较少的年轻人缺乏政治权力，无法推出为自己的长期利益服务的政策。纽约哥伦比亚大学日本经济研究院的教授大卫·温斯顿说道，老年人宁愿把财产留给儿女也不愿去交税，最终意味着未来的福利将会减少。“若想让获得的福利和你的工资一起增长，就像现在这样，你需要使税收收入大幅增长，增幅约为国民生产总值的10%才行。”他说道。他说，人口结构同样也帮助解释了日本通货紧缩的原因。毕竟，不断下降的价格使得那些储户，大部分是老人，得到实惠，即便名义利率接近零。直到现在，持有政府债券都是一个不错的选择。国内的储户希望国债展期，这能够让政府填补财政赤字，虽然是以经济的停滞为代价的。总之，日本经济对于那些中老年人来说一直不错，而对于年轻人就不怎么样了。但是它还没有陷入危机之中，而且经济学家称，日本人还可以做很多事，用于提升其潜在的增长率并减轻它的债务负担。 -

A: Hi. As you know, these days our company is sort of out of control. Don’t you think so?
B: Yeah. Everything appears to be in chaos here in our company. And that clearly has resulted from poor time management.
A: You mean poor time management has led to all these problems? Why?
B: When time is not well planned within a company, they usually do not distribute blocks of time to specified tasks. They do not have a definite clue of when they should finish a certain task.
A: I think they often ignore the ordering of priorities. I mean certain tasks need our prior attention. But in the company every task is treated equally, even though it is a very important task.

A: Another thing we can do is to make all the managers, or even every employee, think of a job description of their own. Only in this way, can they be pretty sure about what they are accountable for and what they are not.
B: Yes, that’s a good idea. And I think, the top managers of our company should make a set of rules with regard to what sort of jobs should be given priority to. In this way, we can confirm that significant tasks are handled first.
A: Good idea. So in conclusion, our company should run a few training courses, and every employee should write down a job description of their own.

问答题◆Topic 8：Living Alone Questions for Reference: 1) More and more people are living by themselves today. Explain the reason. 2) What’s the advantages and disadvantages of living alone? 3) Which is the best way to have a happy life according to your understanding?正确答案： 【参考答案】
You come home alone after a long day at work. You open the door to your home. No one is there. Is it blessed silence you hear or echoing emptiness?
Millions of people who live alone today may have either experience. Some love living alone, yet others wish they didn’t have to.
When they open that door at night, people who live alone do not have to put up with demands or listen to someone’ s noise or meet anyone’ s dinner deadlines. They do not have to debate about which TV program to watch or stay off the phone because someone else is expecting an important call. No one else messes up their kitchen.
But when they are sick, no one else will bring them an aspirin or call the doctor. Preparing dinner for one can be difficult, and eating dinner for one night after night can be very lonely. Perhaps no one really cares what they did all day. If they are feeling sad, there may be no one to cheer them up. Some people who live alone say the worst times come when something very good happens because there is no one to share the joy.
During the course of a lifetime, one may sometimes live with others and sometimes live alone.
Each way of life has its advantages. Learning to take advantage of them is one key to contentment. 解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题◆Topic 11：On Bicycle Theft Questions for reference: 1) Is bicycle theft commonly seen on campus? 2) What are the causes for the theft? 3) What can universities you to stop such phenomenon?正确答案： 【参考答案】
Bicycle theft is very common on campus, which is immoral and illegal. And it is damaging to the academic image of the colleges and universities.
There are several reasons for this. First, the security system of the school should be partially responsible for the losses. Besides, more than too often, students’ carelessness leaves opportunities for the thieves. Sometimes when they have to leave their bicycles for 10 minutes, they will not take the trouble to lock them. The last point that is also worth mentioning is that there is a lack of moral education in most schools.
Considering these situations, the school and the students should work together to fight against this phenomenon On the one hand, the school security system should be perfected. On the other hand, students should learn to he more allergic. Above all, moral education must be added and emphasized. 解析： 暂无解析 -

D.To hold more government bonds.答案：A解析：细节题。答案在第七段最后两句That gives it plenty of room to manoeuvre.Takatoshi Ito，an economist at the University of Tokyo，says increasing the consumption tax by 20 percentage points from its current 5%—putting it at the level of a high-tax European country—would raise￥50 trillion and immediately wipe out Japan’s fiscal deficit。B、C、D三项与题目无关。故本题选A。参考译文：日本人声称他们的经济遭受着“结构性悲观主义”的影响。国外也这样，人们倾向于将日本看作欧元区和美国经济走向的风向标——尽管11月14日公布的第三季度数据表明，日本的年经济增长率达6%，已经从三月的海啸以及核危机中迅速恢复过来，也无法改变人们的固有看法。不过冷静地看日本经济过去十年间的表现，将其与第一个没落的十年相比较，并称之为“第二个没落的十年”，实际上有失偏颇。事实上，折损日本形象的诱因主要是该国的人口结构——该国一半以上的人口已经超过45岁——且日本缺乏有效的政策解决这一问题。即使如此，大部分日本人在过去十年中仍然变得更加富有。总的来说，在2001年至2010年间，日本经济的增长速度是美国经济增长速度的一半。不过，如果比较相同时期人均国民生产总值的增长速度，日本的表现超过了美国和欧元区。部分原因是日本的人口呈缩减趋势，而美国的人口呈上升趋势。虽然劳动生产力的涨幅在2000年至2008年间下跌，稍稍落后于美国，但根据位于东京的亚洲生产组织的结论，用以衡量一个国家如何运用资本和劳动力的全要素生产率在飞速提升。日本的失业率虽比2000年更高，但失业水平仍为欧美失业率的一半。除了能预见的经济停滞，日本经济的其他两个祸根是债务和通货紧缩，而这也部分影响了人口增长并被盲目夸大。人们一直认为日本是个债务国。而事实则是，日本是世界上最大的债权国，拥有253万亿日元(合计3.3万亿美元)的外国净资产。可以确定的是，日本政府是个大债主，它的负债净额也是国民生产总值的一部分，日本是经济合作与发展组织中负债净额最高的国家之一。然而，国际货币基金组织认为，增长的公共债务，并不主要是由于浪费的花销或“不知通向何方的桥梁”，而是因为人口的老龄化。1990年至2010年间，作为国民生产总值组成部分的公共安全花销翻倍，用于支付不断上升的养老费用和医疗费用，而在同时期的税收则出现紧缩。政府税收收入不断减少是个麻烦。日本税收是经济合作与发展组织中最少的国家，只占国民生产总值的17%。然而，低税收的好处是，这给了日本政府很大空间去改革税制。东京大学的经济学家伊藤隆敏说道，将消费税从现在的5%提升20个百分点，让日本消费税比欧洲所有国家都要高，这将会瞬间抹去日本财政中50万亿日元的赤字。这听起来很严酷，但是人口结构又一次起了作用。政府官员说老年人反对增加税收和削减福利，然而人数相对较少的年轻人缺乏政治权力，无法推出为自己的长期利益服务的政策。纽约哥伦比亚大学日本经济研究院的教授大卫·温斯顿说道，老年人宁愿把财产留给儿女也不愿去交税，最终意味着未来的福利将会减少。“若想让获得的福利和你的工资一起增长，就像现在这样，你需要使税收收入大幅增长，增幅约为国民生产总值的10%才行。”他说道。他说，人口结构同样也帮助解释了日本通货紧缩的原因。毕竟，不断下降的价格使得那些储户，大部分是老人，得到实惠，即便名义利率接近零。直到现在，持有政府债券都是一个不错的选择。国内的储户希望国债展期，这能够让政府填补财政赤字，虽然是以经济的停滞为代价的。总之，日本经济对于那些中老年人来说一直不错，而对于年轻人就不怎么样了。但是它还没有陷入危机之中，而且经济学家称，日本人还可以做很多事，用于提升其潜在的增长率并减轻它的债务负担。 -

问答题◆Topic 7: Living Alone Questions for Reference: 1. More and more people are living by themselves today. Explain the reason. 2. What’s the advantages and disadvantages of living alone? 3. Which is the best way to have a happy life according to your understanding?正确答案： 【参考答案】
You come home alone after a long day at work. You open the door to your home. No one is there. Is it blessed silence you hear -or echoing emptiness?
Millions of people who live alone today may have either experience. Some love living alone, yet others wish they didn’t have to.
When they open that door at night, people who live alone do not have to put up with demands or listen to someone’ s noise or meet anyone’ s dinner deadlines. They do not have to debate about which TV program to watch or stay off the phone because someone else is expecting an important call. No one else messes up their kitchen.
But when they are sick, no one else will bring them an aspirin or call the doctor. Preparing dinner for one can be difficult, and eating dinner for one night after night can be very lonely. Perhaps no one really cares what they did all day. If they are feeling sad, there may be no one to cheer them up. Some people who live alone say the worst times come when something very good happens because there is no one to share the joy.
During the course of a lifetime, one may sometimes live with others and sometimes live alone.
Each way of life has its advantages. Learning to take advantage of them is one key to contentment.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Topic 2：My View on College Students’ Use of Mobile Phones Questions for reference: 1) What is the phenomenon of college students’ using mobile phones? 2) What might be the advantages and disadvantages of their using mobile phones? 3) What could be done to this problem?正确答案： 【参考答案】
My name is... My registration number is... My topic is: My View on College Students’ Use of Mobile Phones.
China is becoming a country with the biggest population of mobile phone subscribers and an increasing number of college students are joining the existing users. Statistics show that eight out of ten college students have got one. However, is it necessary for a college student to own a mobile phone?
In my opinion, there is nothing wrong for a college student to have a cell phone, with is, students will be better connected with friends and parents. What’s more, mobile phones play an important role in graduates’ job-hunting. Therefore, instead of banning the use of mobile phones, schools should take measures to guide an appropriate use of them on campus, For example, students are required to switch off their phones in classrooms and under no circumstances should they use a mobile phone during exams. In some public places, like libraries, a poster can be placed at the entrance to alert library users to switch their phones to vibration mode before they enter the library.
I believe mobile phones can bring benefits to our students as long as we can make good use of them. 解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题◆Topic 5: Buildings: Good to Use or Good to Look? Questions for Reference: 1. Is there any building impressed you? Describe it. 2. What are the advantages/disadvantages of buildings designed as works of art? 3. Recently, more and more people believe that a building should serve its purpose rather than looking beautiful. What’s your view?正确答案： 【参考答案】
Recently, more and more people believe that a building should serve its purpose rather than looking beautiful, whether the architects should worry about buildings as works of art has become an issue of controversy. Before presenting my opinion, I would like to probe into both sides of the debate.
Critics argue about the shortcomings of buildings designed as works of art. First of all, it needs a great sum of money to design beautiful buildings with extra decorations. Most people would like to have better infrastructures and recreational facilities rather than a better look. Secondly, the side effects brought by artistic designs also arouse people’s wide concern. They worry about the safety of buildings and they believe the steadiness is more essential. Last but not least, the appearance which is loved by the designers may not be accepted by everyone. Different people have discrepant views. It is easier said than done to settle a proposal satisfying everybody.
Supporters also claim that there are a large number of benefits following the special architectures. For one thing, we can hand down our cultural heritages by constructions. If we fail to build up symbols of our tradition, our descendants may forget it someday. For another thing, it’s also a good way to enhance the embellishment. There is no doubt that a good image of the city could successfully attract the world’s attention and powder .the dwellers with more opportunities. Also worth mentioning is that it can give us good feelings. Under such circumstance, people could work more efficiently and rest more comfortably.
Generally speaking, both of their views are rational. But personally, I side with the latter one.
Anyway, we don’t want to live in a world with the same buildings, the same colours and the same styles.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题◆Topic 8: Is education Losing its Value? Questions for reference: 1. Some people think that this increased access to education is devaluing degrees. What’s your point of view? 2. What can the degrees bring to people? 3. Do you think it’s necessary to have increased emphasis on degrees in our society? Why?正确答案： 【参考答案】
People have several arguments against the need for degrees. They say that having so many graduates devalues a degree. People lose respect for the degree holder. It is also claimed that education has become a rat race. Graduates have to compete for jobs even after years of studying.
Another point is that studying for such a long time leads to. learners becoming inflexible. They know a lot about one narrow subject, but are unable to apply their skills. Employers prefer more flexible and adaptable workers.
However, I feel strongly that this move to having more qualifications is a positive development.
In the past education was only for the rich and powerful. Now it is available to everyone, and this will have many advantages for the country and the individual. First of all, it is impossible to be overeducated. The more people are educated, the better the world will be, because people will be able to discuss and exchange ideas. A further point is that people with degrees have many more opportunities. They can take a wider variety of jobs and do what they enjoy doing, instead of being forced to take a job they dislike. Finally, a highly educated workforce is good for the economy of the country. It attracts foreign investment.
In conclusion, although there are undoubtedly some problems with increased levels of education, I feel strongly that the country can only progress if all its people are educated to the maximum of their ability.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Topic 4：Talk about Virtue Questions for reference: 1) What virtues can you name? 2) Which one do you think it the most important one? 3) What should we do in order to establish concept of honor and disgrace among people?正确答案： 【参考答案】
My name is... My registration number is... My topic is: Talk about Virtue.
We must uphold these core virtues including diligence, honesty, justice and responsibility. Traditionally, we Chinese admire the virtue of plain living and hard struggle. The vital importance is also placed on honesty and justice.
In my eyes, however, responsibility tops our priority. To shoulder some heavy responsibilities, we must keep a style of plain living and hard struggle. Responsibility also means honesty and justice. Everyone must assume a set of responsibilities. For example, we college students must take the responsibility for pursuing the impressive academic performance. But an army of students plant themselves in online games, an activity which compels them to shun huge responsibilities.
The virtue of responsibility is strongly associated with the “Eight Dos and Don’ts” moral campaign in full swing. Under this slogan, everyone must take on his/her own responsibilities and dedicate to his/her own position. Unquestionably, everyone must promote the socialist concept of honor and disgrace. 解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 1 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: People can perform everyday tasks, such as shopping and banking as well as business transactions, without meeting other people face-to-face. What are the effects of this on an individual and society as a whole? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Asking if virtual life will replace real life is like asking if singles' chatrooms will replace real dating. Human face-to-face interaction is, and will always be, the most effective form of communication.
First and foremost. Live meetings deliver more potent experiences that virtual meetings cannot. They deliver motivation along with messages, and inspiration with information. Face to face allow people to observe others to make better judgment or use more than words to express their ideas. That's why corporations that want to inspire a sales force to perform better or build confidence with customers are continuing to rely on the punch that live events deliver, namely, expos.
Still, while the virtual meetings will never entirely replace the live ones, the technology has a place within physical events, which shows the advantage over face-to-face communication. The shortcomings of the traditional meeting model, with a presenter talking on the stage and passive audience wasting time, have become clear with the rise of interactive and social networking instruments. These advances provided companies to incorporate better peer-to-peer and audience-to-presenter interaction. On the contrary, virtual life also isolates people without notice. Due to lack of timely feedback and negotiation, confusion and misunderstandings will spring out. High technology can hardly show emotions and feeling fully and properly. Emoticons can not tell everything. In other words, it is difficult to convey sarcasm or anger in an email or a text.
In summary, face-to-face and virtual chat will coexist in modem society. Personally, I am not in favor of having arguments electronically. Technology can be great to get in contact with someone and very convenient when they further along in a relationship, but never use it as a replacement for the real thing. For all of its usefulness, it is very hard to cuddle with a cell phone.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题◆Topic 3: Will petty criminals get light punishment? Questions for Reference: 1.

Do you think it can achieve its end? 3. Some people think that if petty crimes are not punished in a timely way, more serious consequences will follow. What do you think of this argument?正确答案： 【参考答案】
My name is…My registration number is…My topic is: Will petty criminals get light punishment?
A new prosecution guideline was recently released. It says that if the petty criminals are minors, old or very poor, they may get light punishment. The public hold different attitudes towards this guideline.
Some people think that the regulation violates the principle that “everyone is equal before the law”. It also breaches the legal principle that citizens’ property is inviolable. But more people, me included, think that the new guideline represents the combination of leniency and severity, and it helps to promote social harmony. Although China is now richer than before, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. Therefore, social conflicts may arise due to the widening of such gaps and there is the possibility for those who lack basic social security to violate laws for survival. As a way to tackle these problems, the judicial system surely needs to do something for the disadvantaged group. The stipulation that people who have committed a small crime because of poverty will be exempted from prosecution is actually a kind of protection to the helpless from a legal perspective.
Furthermore, we all know that the objective of the judicial system is to prevent crimes rather than to punish wrongdoers. If one is severely punished because he steals bread for survival, the punishment may damage his whole life and lead him to commit more serious crimes. Severity does reflect justice and objectivity, but sometimes leniency can be more effective in saving the soul of an individual, because it will affect the hearts and minds of the petty criminals. It reflects tolerance and humanity and may play a more positive role in helping criminals make a fresh start.
In a word, if the law can show both leniency and severity at the same time, it will be the most解析： 暂无解析
