    问答题
    Though euthanasia has been approved legally in some countries such as in Holland, it is still not widely accepted by many Chinese. Should euthanasia be carried out? Does a terminally ill patient have the right to die? Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic, expressing your views. THE RIGHT TO DIE　　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：
    THE RIGHT TO DIE One of the dilemmas that people face in society today is euthanasia, or mercy killing. Many young people are in an unconscious state because of accidents, and many old people are terminally ill because of incurable diseases. They are all kept alive on life-support machines. Although doctors cannot deliberately end a patient's life, mercy killing should be legally used because it could allow a terminally ill patient to end his misery, end the source of deep distress to his family, and end the increasing financial expenses.
    Firstly and most importantly, a terminally ill patient has no hope of recovering. Opponents may argue that a person should live with dignity, and nobody can deprive another person of his right to live. However, these people neglect the fact that a terminally ill patient can never lead a normal life because he needs a life-support machine to breathe and a feeding tube to eat. A terminally ill patient is more dead than alive and will never get well again. No one can see such a life as a life with dignity.
    Secondly, the family of the patient suffer. Since the nurses can only give the terminally ill patient minimum care, the family must spend endless time caring for the special needs of their loved one. For example, when the patient is conscious, they need to be interacting with him by talking to and touching him. Even if the patient is in a coma, they also have to be present with the patient. So it is unbearable to expect the whole family to watch the patient lying in a hospital bed in great pain, unable to do anything for him.
    Lastly, medical treatment is too expensive. Although doctors should try their best to save a patient's life regardless of the high medical costs, it is really a waste to spend so much money on a patient whose condition will never improve. The costs of a hospital room, medicines and medical tests are all quite high, which often become the long-standing burden of the family.
    It can be concluded that mercy killing should be carried out when the condition of the patient is critical, the patient's family members are in mental torture, and the medical costs skyrocket.

    问答题
    People should be realistic rather than romantic in order to live a better life. Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic, expressing your view on this. ROMANTIC OR REALISTIC　　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：
    ROMANTIC OR REALISTIC Young people tend to think that real life is as dramatic and fascinating as it is in the novels and movies, while more experienced adults disregard this opinion. Adults think this kind of naive daydream will only be destroyed by later experiences and every one should learn to get used to tedious everyday life. In fact, I believe this is a question of more than one aspect. Realism is necessary, but idealism is also indispensable to increase the quality of our life.
    Let' s first take a glance at realism and idealism in literature to see which is the reflection of human life. There have been many great realistic works describing a certain period of history. These books not only shook the world of their times, but also keep moving for centuries, among them Oliver Twist and Uncle Tom's Cabin. But many romantic stories gained high popularity as well, such as Scarlet Letter and Gone with the Wind. The literature will lose its glamour without either kind of works.
    The same is true in our life. In order to support ourselves, we should learn to produce something to lead a decent career and to earn a living that is our work, and it's realistic. But everyone can imagine what life will look like if we can not enjoy our favorite music, if all the gardens are filled with apple trees instead of red roses and golden tulips, if going fishing is not for relaxing but for earning money. That is a gray and dull picture of life. No one intends to turn our world into a world like that. Furthermore, even when we work, we can do it well and enjoy it only when we have a genuine love of it. So it is dear that romance is as important as reality.
    To see the importance of romance more dearly, we must think of the goal of our work, of our joint efforts. We work hard in order to make the world a better place to live in, in order to create more pleasant life for ourselves and our successors. If we sacrifice romance just because we want to do better work, we go away from our destination. It is unwise as anybody can see.
    So what we should do is to enjoy the blue of a clear sky, enjoy the harmony on a violin string, enjoy the excitement of sports, enjoy each deep feeling pressed on our hearts, for that is just the way life should be. However, when there are some young people who go too far away from reality, we might help them adjust and think more hardheadedly.
    解析：
    本文开门见山提出观点：现实和浪漫都是美好生活不可或缺的，然后作者从文学作品和现实生活两方面进行了论述。第四段中作者指出工作的目的是为了享受生活，由此引出最后一段：浪漫与现实必须相结合，一个人不能太过脱离现实。

    问答题
    Some believe that people should never be satisfied with what they have and should always strive for something new and different, but there are also people who believe that those who constantly feel satisfied tend to be happy. What is your opinion? Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic:Does satisfaction bring happiness?　　In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.　　Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

    正确答案：
    Does satisfaction bring happiness? Usually people are unhappy because they are not satisfied with what they have got. But do you think they will be happy if they are satisfied with what they have achieved? This seems a tricky question. Some believe that satisfaction brings happiness, but some believe that dissatisfaction can bring a happy life. If we mean by happiness is continuous improvement of human life, then it is dissatisfaction that brings happiness.
    To begin with, dissatisfaction can motive personal development. As human society has been developing at an ever increasing speed since the industrial revolution, people find that there is more and more room to better their life. If they are unhappy with the education they have received, they will try to study on. If they are unhappy with their present jobs, they will try to find one that suits them better. And if they are unhappy with their relationship with others, they will try to improve it or find a better one. Therefore, dissatisfaction encourages people to seek life of a better quality rather than stay with the present one, and this process constitutes their development.
    Besides helping individuals to develop, dissatisfaction can also promote the continuous development of the whole society. Common sense tells us that there cannot be a perfect society, therefore, if a society is satisfied with itself, it only means that it is willing to live with its problems. A society with dissatisfaction is in fact one that dislikes problems. It will find and solve the problems, and this will certainly help the society to keep moving forward. We can take China as an example. Chinese people used to believe that satisfaction brings happiness, but they had actually been living a very hard life before the 1980s. The reform and opening-up policy was adopted in the 1980s just because the Chinese were no longer satisfied with the society at that time. Facts show that the change of mentality has brought about thorough changes to the society.
    Last but not least, dissatisfaction has also been a driving force of human civilization as a whole. It is reasonable to say that in the primitive society, science came into being because the ancestors were not satisfied with their understanding of the world, and technology came into being because they were not satisfied with working purely with their hands. The curiosity and desire has in fact led to the prosperity of science and technology in later times. Similarly, in the artistic world, new propositions and practices keep emerging because people are not pleased with the existing ways in expressing their feelings and emotions.
    To sum up, dissatisfaction has played a vital role in the development of individuals, the whole society as well as human civilization. Although too much dissatisfaction may be harmful, a proper sense of dissatisfaction can be very beneficial. When everybody is pleased with what they have, the world will stop moving forward, which virtually means the end of humankind.
    解析：
    题目中的happiness是一个很模糊的概念，每个人可能都有自己的理解。在引言段中，作者在通过问题引出话题后，先给出“幸福”的定义才明确自己的观点，这样全文的讨论就有了比较坚实的基础。引言段的问题提得自然到位，既抓住了读者的心理，又点出了文章的中心议题。文章的正文段从个人、社会、人类文明三个角度阐述了不满的重要性。这三个要点不仅范围从小到大展开，议题也是从具体到抽象逐步深入。从论据上看，除了逻辑推理外，作者还用了中国社会的发展作例子，具有较好的说服力。文章结论段简洁明了。作者用一个句子做总结，然后用本讨论话题的意义作最终评论。

  • 第12题：

    问答题
    More and more students are renting flats to live away from campus, and some of them are student lovers. Some students think this is unacceptable, but others find it attractive. What is your opinion on student lovers living together? Write an article of about 400 words to express your opinion. You should supply a title for your article.　　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 Student Lovers' Living Together According to official statistics, the number of college student lovers living together off campus in Beijing has increased by four times between 1997 and 2001. This is undeniably true of many other places in China. Although many students do not strongly object to it, I don't think it is advisable for college student lovers to live together away from campus.
    Some lovers say that living together can help them study better, for it can help them get rid of the interference of other students. This is actually not true. When living away from campus, the lovers will always think of each other rather than the teachers' assignment, and other unavoidable family chores such as looking and washing will also take much time away that might have been spent on study. Besides, many courses now require group work or cooperation. If they stay away from other classmates, how can they study these courses well?
    Some lovers say that living together can relieve their loneliness and pressure, but it is not really the best choice. On the one hand, the real reason for their loneliness is that they are not focusing their mind on study. Study, the most important task for university students, can prove to be fascinating if you really focus on it. On the other hand, even if their loneliness is real, there are many better ways to deal with it. For instance, they can find friends to take part in sports or other entertaining activities. By staying away from other classmates, living together can be a source of rather than solution to loneliness.
    Other lovers argue that they mean to get married after graduation, and this experience can help them test each other to see if they are suitable for married life. But this mentality does not hold water. The two lovers may really love each other, but living together can actually spoil a good relationship, because it enters into weakness rather than strength, doubt rather than conviction. A follow-up study shows that few couples living together really end in marriage.
    In a word, those student lovers cannot find enough reasons to justify their choice. What they can offer all represent self-deception or misconception. Although universities are not allowed to forbid students to live off campus, they can still find more effective ways to convince this lost group of the disadvantages, and improve teaching and after-class activities to attract them back to campus.
    解析：
    这道题要求回答的问题是Is it correct for student lovers to live together away from campus，属于观点态度题的范畴。例文作者在引言段中清楚地表达了自己的观点，并且从学习、心情和婚姻三个方面分析了校外同居的坏处。本文最突出的特点是采用了驳论形式，作者不是直接阐述校外同居的坏处，而是假设有人赞成这一做法并同其辩论。所以在正文段中，作者总是先引出反方观点，然后再说明自己观点并加以论证。由于采用这种方式，所有的主题句都出现在段落中间。本文其他成功之处还包括用文章的话题作标题，引言段采用数据开头以吸引读者注意以及用解决问题的建议作最终评论等。

    Some people say that the best preparation for life is learning to be cooperative. Others take the opposite view and say that learning to be competitive is the best preparation. Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic，expressing your views on cooperation and competition. COOPERATION OR COMPETITION　　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：
    COOPERATION OR COMPETITION It is difficult to figure out whether cooperation or competition is more important. Although cooperation is widely emphasized in the world, competition, I believe, still plays an essential part in people's lives. Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life. This becomes very clear as one has more experience in the world. Everyone is out to make their own lives better. If you are not competitive, you may lose many chances and be left behind.
    In the first place, everyone knows that Man is by nature a competitive, aggressive, and selfish animal. This is why Man can dominant the world, even though Man is not the strongest species. Darwin, in The Origin of the Species, makes it very clear that the weak will die, and only the strong will survive. Since this is our fate, the only intelligent thing to do is to be strong, and be a winner.
    Competition exists in almost every field. In the business world, for instance, everyone knows that the most important order of the day is to beat your competitors. This can only be done by competing with any and all means necessary to win. If your product is not competitive, you can not obtain the trust of customers. No one wants to go out of business, so you must compete. Also in your workplace, you must be better than the other employees you are working with, because in this age of downsizing you do not want to be fired. Likewise, in the sports world, the strongest will come out as winners. They become our heroes and they are glorified in every way. In fact, the only way our world rewards people is to give trophies to the winners, not to the losers. Only the winner will be remembered. Everyone wants glory in life and learning to be competitive is the only path to glory.
    Therefore, the only way to survive in this world is to be competitive. To learn to cooperate is a ridiculous way to live one' s life. In fact, I know that when I wish to beat someone who is weaker willed than, I would use his foolish cooperative actions against him in the end.
    解析：
    竞争与合作一直是写作考试热衷的话题。本文立场鲜明，论证有力。作者从人的本性、商界及体育界现实出发，说明只有竞争才能在当今世界生存。虽然对许多中国学生来说本文的观点会有些偏激，但从西式思维出发，本文可算一篇佳作。

  • 第21题：

    问答题
    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.

    本文要求讨论的是enjoyable teaching好不好的问题。作者从帮助学生记住授课内容、专注于学习以及建立良好的师生关系三个方面说明了Enjoyable teaching的好处，完全可以满足文章对内容的要求。三个正文段的论据以逻辑推理为主，同时也有个人经历和专家证言，这使文章内容更加充分。本文引言段开头使用谚语有助于吸引读者注意。正文段使用first，besides，和thirdly，说明这三点同样重要。结论段的总结部分用了两句话，最终评论使用了对将来的预测，使文章结尾自然而有力。

So my advice is: Don’t hurry. Visit various stores, examine the goods carefully and compare prices. In a word, explore and examine before you buy.
    W: But I’m afraid I can’t afford the-time,
    M: That’s true. So I’d suggest if you want to buy food, go to a nearby supermarket. There you will find all kinds of food, and prices are very reasonable.
    W: If I want to buy some odds and ends like household items?
    M: Then go and shop in some discount stores. These stores have nearly as great a variety of goods as department stores, but offer lower prices.
    W: When I read the newspaper, I often find ads for sales. Do you think the prices are really reduced?
    M: Well, in some cases, yes. Sales are an excellent opportunity to buy quality goods at reduced prices, but sometimes it’s just a deception. So be careful.
    W: Can I return or exchange my purchase if I find it defective?
    M: Yes, you can. But you should do that as soon as possible, say, within a week. And be sure to bring the receipt with you. Oh, there is an exception: Sometimes things on sale are not allowed to be exchanged. So you should be especially careful with those products.
    W: Thanks for all the useful information.
    Questions 1 to 3 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
    1. As the woman wants to do some shopping, what does the man suggest in the first place?
    2. According to the man, where is the best place to buy household items?

    正确答案：
    Currently, news reporting is one of the major channels by which people become informed of various affairs around the globe. However, some people believe that the journalists who furnish the reports do not deserve any trust. For my part, I agree to this viewpoint for the following reasons.
    Firstly, many journalists fabricate sensational incidents in order to make themselves eye-catching and prominent. Reporters, like many people in other occupations, now feel the fierce competition in their own circle. Consequently, some of them, to survive the competition, deliberately exaggerate or whitewash certain matters to gain the upper hand over their colleagues. Their reports are certainly not dependable.
    Secondly, some journalists will say anything to flatter a certain enterprise, as long as they are given a considerable sum of money by the owner of the enterprise in question. Such news people have no respect for their own profession, and will doubtlessly win no trust from their readers.
    Thirdly, if a journalist works for a profit-bent mass media, he will find furnishing sensational news stories a must. To increase the circulation of the newspaper or magazine which they work for, or to lure more viewers and listeners for the broadcasting organization where they earn a salary, they have to write something that can attract people. If they want to reach this goal quickly, they find it necessary to make up some parts of their reports or simply invent a news story, which can help them to stir a sensation among people. As the circulation gets bigger, or more people tune in their programs, more advertisers will come. That means a greater profit for their bosses and a higher income for themselves.
    Last but not least, some newspersons have no idea of the rule that news should be based rigorously on facts. Sometimes they just pick up some interesting hearsay. And then their active imaginations are brought to bear, so that a touching or enchanting story is mistaken for news. This kind of story can be an entertainment, but can never be taken as something true happening in the world.
    All in all, many news reports cannot be counted upon. However, if reporters or journalists strictly abide by their professional requirements and nurture professional qualities, namely being honest, righteous, insightful, and farsighted, and having a strong sense of justice and social responsibility, readers and reporters will have more mutual trust, and the world will surely be a better place.

    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.
    However, is money the road to happiness? Not really. Large number of people work every day, work overtime, work weekends, and make a lot of money. Are they happy?. No. They have no time to form or to maintain friendships. Enjoying means taking things in, taking the time to see, to hear. But unfortunately, many people simply do not take the time to do these.
    Surely everyone has thought at times, ff only I had a lot of money, I could be the happiest person in the world. It is important to remember, however, that money is only a means to an end, not the end itself.
