问答题Practice 2Directions:A. Study the following graph carefully and write an essay in 150 words.B. Your essay should meet the requirements below: 1. Interpret the graph. 2. Suggest counter-measures. 3. Give advice for job seekers.正确答案：
【参考范文】
The Employment Prospect in City A As is shown in the graph, the employment prospect in City A appears not so bright. City A Personnel and Talent Bureau reported that in 2001, there were only 50,000 positions available for the almost 60,000 graduates. And the number of the graduates increased by 67 % in the following two years, while that of the job opportunities remained the same.
In order to solve the problem, the government should adjust job market policies to take pressure off the new job-seekers. For one thing, they’re supposed to provide the graduates with more job opportunities. For another, they should train the graduating college students for the fierce competition ahead.
It is more important that the job hunters be fully aware of the difficult situation and get fully prepared for the tough journey. If still they cannot find a suitable job, they can choose to put off employment and go abroad for further study.解析： 暂无解析 -

The older man is sitting on top of the bench to play a musical instrument,a trumpet. He is wearing blue jeans and put his feet on the bench.The younger person seems to be a teenager. He’s playing a guitar. I think they might be playing the same melody together. They enjoy themselves in the music.

本文的主题是测谎仪。文章认为目前测谎仪已有渗透到日常生活中的趋势,但目前仍没有研究表明测谎仪真的有效。几个世纪以来世界各国人们都在孜孜不倦地寻求通过物理手段检测谎言的仪器。随着科技的发展,声音分析器开始流行,这种仪器工作原理并不复杂,而且使用简单、携带方便。现在仍有先进产品上市,前景良好。美国政府对测谎仪的使用制定了双重标准,一方面政府加大使用测谎仪的力度,一方面命令法庭禁用经测谎仪得到的结果。

综述内容应包括5个主要点信息和9个次要点信息中的5个。下划线部分为主要点, 斜体部分为次要点。
Lie detectors, those controversial assessors of truth, are making their way into everyday life. Insurance companies use them to help catch people filing fraudulent claims. Suspicious spouses use hand-hand versions to judge whether their significant others are cheating. Interrogators for the U.S. government use them to double-check analyses of who might be terrorists.
Polygraphs, which have been used for decades, have been joined by new systems that purportedly analyze a person's voice, blush, pupil size and even brain waves for signs of deception. The devices range from costly experimental devices that use strings of electrodes or thermal imaging to $19.95 palm-sized versions.
No studies haVe ever proven that lie detectors work. Many show that they assess truth as accurately as a coin flip; in other words, not at all. Still, some people have come to depend on them. The recent proliferation of lie detectors has reignited a decades-old debate over the ethics and politics of when and how they should be used and whether such important questions as guilt or innocence should be left to machines.
Mankind has looked for centuries for a physical indicator that would expose a liar. The Romans studies the entrails of suspected liars. In China, rice was shoved into the mouths of interviewees to measure how dry they were—the drier the mouth, the more likely the person was lying, it was thought. Other cultures tried various chemical concoctions, but they worked no better than chance.
Especially since September 11, law enforcement agencies consider lie detection systems critical to their investigations. The CIA, FBI and Defense Department have spent millions of dollars on them. In an unusual plea made soon after the terrorist auacks, the government asked for the public’s help in building counterterrorism technologies, among them a portable polygraph.
In the United States, there is a double standafd when it comes to the use of polygraphs. Although the so-called lie detector is considered an important law enforcement tool, polygraph data are inadmissible as evidence in a court of law. The U.S. Supreme Court forbade private companies from using them to screen job applicants, but allowed the government to use them for the same purpose.
As debate about polygraphs rages, the devices are being phased out in favor of voice analyzers, which are more portable and easier to use. A voice analyzer device typically consists of a telephone and microphone attached to a computer that packs neatly in a briefcase, or attached to any PC with the proper software installed. Most of the analyzers can be used in person or over the phone. Conversations can be tested in real time or recorded for later analysis.
First, the questioner asks an interviewee about something he or she would have no reason to lie about, such as “When’s your birthday?” Then he asks what he really wants to ask. The device makes an assessment about whether the subjects is telling the truth based on the differences between the inaudible microtremors in the voice during the first round of questioning and those in the second.
The federal government officially says it does not use these voice lie detectors. Still, the voice technology has its true believers, among them more than 1.200 police departments nationwide and tens of thousands of consumers.
The slightly more sophisticated Truster software program that runs on a desktop computer gives text rating of truthfulness. The companies that market these technologies say they are more than 80 percent accurate.
Though skeptical, Rick Garloff, a 35-year-old American, still said even if the systems are not great lie detectors, they are wonderful lie deterrents. He once used the Truster on his 9-year-old son, to see if he had forgotten to close a door, accidentally letting the dog in. His son claimed no. But the lie detection system said yes. When confronted, his son confessed.

【参考范文】
Changing Criteria for Good Students Years ago, good college students simply meant students good at academic work. On being admired in a college or university, students usually work hard just to be “on top”. Most of their campus time was spent in classrooms, reading rooms, and laboratories.
But the criteria for good students are changing now. True, good marks continue to be some students: dream, yet there are a growing number of students who are concerned much more about extracurricular activities for all-round development. They involve in community services and activities. Some students even become campus “businessmen” or “businesswomen” by starting or serving in self-supporting businesses.
The changes are better, and since the time is different, the job market demands personnel with varied skills. Therefore, the student’s today are, in a sense, better prepared for challenge and competition upon graduation.解析：

【参考范文】
Studying Abroad Nowadays, going abroad for studies is enjoying a striking popularity among adolescents. It has become an important way for students in their education.
The advantages of studying overseas are obvious. First of all, living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world. On an international campus, students are likely to encounter people from various countries and areas and are exposed to diverse ideas and values. What is more, overseas experience is the best opportunity for the practice of foreign languages. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.
In my opinion, although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile. In addition to knowledge, overseas students can gain precious experiences that those who stay at home will never have. Furthermore, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is conducive to the growth of adolescents.解析：

问答题Directions: In this part of the test, you will give your opinion about a specific topic. Be sure to say as much as you can in the time allotted. You will have 15 seconds to prepare. Then you will have 60 seconds to speak.Practice 1 Some employers value education over work experience because they say it gives employees a more complete understanding of a specific field. Other employers prefer work experience, saying it proves the candidate can deal with real world challenges. Which do you think is better and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.正确答案： (1)
From my point of view, I think an employer should hire someone who has more experience in a particular field instead of one who receives better education. Employees with more work experience can put practical experience, which they have learned from real world, into current job. Many of the most successful business people have succeeded without the help and benefit of a formal higher education. To some extent, they have been successful through application and experiences, which cannot be taught and acquired in classroom. After making mistakes, even experiencing failure, and then learning lessons from mistakes, employees can learn and grow, and. finally achieve success. So employers should value experience rather than education when deciding between two otherwise promising candidates.
解 析:答案选择了工作经验。开头开门见山地表明了观点,继而用补充说明(further explanation)和两个详细说明(detailed explanation)进行了具体说明。
选择candidate with more experience(经验丰富的求职者)
主题中心词(Topic keywords):real world,practical experience(现实中的实际经验)
补充说明:Successful people without higher education(没有接受过高等教育的成功人士)
详细说明:(1)application,experience(勤勉,经验)
(2)making mistake,achieving success,experiencing, failure(犯错误,获得成功,经历失败的过程)
(2)
Employers should choose a candidate having suitable education to the field or industry, where they are being employed. Education is more important because students are taught certain things in their field, thus they can bring what they have learned to their career. For instance, an accountant is required to apprehend mathematics and the principles of accounting fully, even just to get an entry-level position. Assume someone just has work experience in accounting-related jobs, he might not be lectured the correct way to deal with accounting activities, or he has to waste time and resources to learn on the job. It is better to hire someone who has already acquired profound knowledge and skill set at the very beginning.
解 析:本回答选择了高学历。在开门见山地表明了观点之后,用两个补充说明和详细说明进行了具体论述。
选择candidate who has more education(学历高的求职者)
理由主题中心词:students with certain things within their field(具有专业知识和技能的学生)

In your e-mail, make THREE suggestions for lunch menu options.正确答案： (1)
Mark,
Yes, I agree with you. It is important to try and oblige Mr. Sanders.
My first advice is to have Taj Mahal catere the banquet. The reason is that they can provide a wide selection of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices. But they are a bit expensive.
The second option is Willie’s Dell. They deliver dell and delicious sandwiches, which can be customized according to buyer’s order. Their menu is both quite extensive and cheap.
Finally, you might try The Soup Pot. They have really tasty soups. which are amazingly filling, and they get a wide variety of flavors.
If you need the contact information of any of these, please let me know.
Karen
解 析:该答案完整地回答了提示(Directions)中要求的事项(三种午餐菜单建议)。文中使用了My first advice is… →The second… →Finally…句型依次写下了三种建议,使整篇文章连贯、有条不紊。
(2)
Mark,
I think we can help Mr. Sanders with his vegetarian preferences, in respect that he is a very important client.
First of all, a new restaurant called All Natural just opened for business. I recommend it because it has a strictly vegetarian menu. They offer appetizers, entrees and dessert. It is worth noting they have wonderful sandwiches. It might be limiting though, to offer only a vegetarian option.
And secondly, a Mexican restaurant might actually be good. I know it is not a typical dish considered for vegetarian fare, but you can order some maigre salads, tacos or burritos.
Finally, if you think the choice above is too casual, maybe we could also try Mabel’s. They provide a variety of vegetable dishes and their food is delicious as well. But the problem is that I am not sure if they would deliver.
I hope the suggestions would help.
Karen
解 析:解答本题时,要把自己假定成回信的当事人,根据提出的要求有条理地进行写作,这一点十分重要。该答案的特点是在各项建议之间加上了It might be limiting…,If it is too casual…等句子作为过渡,使得文章整体流畅自然。
(3)
Mark,
There are several vegetarian options you can choose from. The Golden Ladle on Pike Street offers vegetarian meals, such as baked eggplant lasagna and squash casserole. I was told that they accept take-out orders, because they do not deliver.
You can get a couple of options from the Vietnamese restaurant, too. They have some meatless food, like fried noodle dishes, and also some other delicious soups and exquisite side dishes.
My another suggestion is to order from the good caterer or restaurant which you employed before, ask them to make a meatless meal. You can just request a vegetable dish take the place of a meat meal. And this might be the simplest way if you have already arranged a caterer.
Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

You should base your composition on the following requirements. 1. Give examples to show how advanced technology has changed the way we learn. 2. Tell the advantages of the application of advanced technology in learning.正确答案：
【参考范文】
Advanced Technology Is Changing the Way We Learn With the development of technology, every aspect of our life has been changed and the way we learn is no exception. The use of computer is a good example. With the help of the computer and Internet we can learn a great amount of knowledge without going to the classroom and asking professors to answer the questions, and we can also get access to the books we want to read in various libraries through the Internet.
With the application of advanced technology we can learn more easily and efficiently. For example, when we meet some new words while reading English articles, we don’t have to look the new words up in a dictionary. With a click, the computer’s electronic dictionary will immediately tell us the meaning of the new words. In addition, the computer can help us analyze our research data and finish papers more easily.

【范文】
My Idea of Professional Ethics for a Scientist There is no denying that a distinguished scientist should not only be learned and creative but also have good professional ethics for the good of both society and the scientist himself. But what are good professional ethics for a scientist?
In my opinion, a scientist should possess the following qualities. First of all, an eminent scientist should make sure that his knowledge is used to bring benefits to the general public rather than to make his personal gains. He should devote himself to the advancement of technology, with the aim of raising the living standards of people and making our world a better place to live in. Secondly, as a respectable scientist, he should be on good terms with other scientists. Cooperation and mutual trust between scientists are very critical for scientific achievements. Thirdly, a good scientist should be honest and respect the work of others. Never should he copy from others or falsify research findings. Last but not the least, a scientist should be a responsible person. He should not make any hasty decisions. Once a decision is made he should shoulder its consequence.
In a word, an excellent scientist should have good professional ethics to win the respect of the people and contribute more to people’s benefits.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题题目要求: In this part of the test, you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the two below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.Practice 1 A: What is important when...? Attending an interview ●Punctuality ●Manner ●Appearance B: What is important when...? Working in a team ●Having a team leader ●Deciding people’s responsibilities ●Sharing information正确答案： 【参考范例】
If you choose A:
When attending an interview, it’s a merit that we show up on time. For an interview due to start at nine thirty in the morning, the candidate is expected to arrive five minutes earlier. To be better prepared for the interview, if possible, he’d better pay a visit to the interview site in advance. By doing this, he will be able to figure out the shortest route and the approximate time to get there.
In addition, remember that the interviewer is observing you even before your entrance into the room. Therefore, don’t forget to knock at the door first, no matter whether it’s shut or open. Furthermore, eye contact is necessary. Look straight into the interviewer’s eyes with politeness and self-confidence. At the meanwhile, greet him with a smile
Furthermore, a person who is particular about his appearance is always welcome everywhere. With your hair neatly cut your beard nicely shaved and your face cleanly washed, you are more likely to leave a good first impression. At the same time, arm yourself with a starched shirt, an ironed suit and a pair of polished shoes. By doing that, you’re definitely a pleasant guy in the eyes of both male and female interviewers.
If you choose B:
When working in a team, first of all, a team leader is essential for the team. With the lead of a good team leader, the team can fulfill the tasks smoothly. Without a team leader, there will be no definite direction and employees may not know what to do and how to do the work in co-operation with each other.
Secondly, it is important that every employee knows his/her responsibility. When clear-cut assignment of responsibility, employees can concentrate on their tasks and work more efficiently. As a result, the company’s objective can be eventually achieved.
Thirdly, as a member of the team, every employee is entitled to know any information within the group. Therefore, information should be shared, and by doing this a lot of time and energy can be saved, which may otherwise be used to do much more work.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 2 ‘Mini presentation’—about 6 minutes In this part of the test you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas. A WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…? NEGOTIATING ● COMPROMISE ● DISPUTE ●... B WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…? EMPLOYING TECHNICAL WRITERS ● BEING ABLE TO WRITE WELL ● MEETING TIGHT DEADLINES ●... C WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…? MANAGING A COMPANY ● COMMUNICATION ● EXECLLENT MANAGER ●...正确答案： 【参考范例】
Mini-representation One:
I think when managing a company one of the most important features is communication. Good communication is necessary at all stages of the business process, which can contribute to a successful business.
Within individual companies internal communication occurs at, and between the various levels. Directors communicate with one another in term of the company’s overall strategy. They inform managers of their plans, and the managers then communicate with other employees to convey their messages. Negotiations are conducted with regard to pay and working conditions. Managers express their decisions and orders through good communication, which can achieve the aim of improving morale and motivation. Employees also communicate with each other, for example, over production, wages and their spare activities.
Reliable and effective communication is one of the key elements which lead to efficient management of a company.
Question: Can you tell me other vital elements which result in efficient management of a company?
Answer: Many requirements are important for the efficient management of a company, both internal and external. We need good communication, good staff and managers, smooth flow of the capital, the full cooperation between the company, etc.
Mini-representation Two
Firstly, it is of very importance to be able to write well. This means not only knowing the basic rules of spelling, grammar and punctuation, but also having the competence to condense and organise sophisticated information to make it accessible to the public. A good writer must also be capable of dealing with meeting tight deadlines. Secondly, as far as career prospects are concerned, after acquiring valuable experience, many technical writers have the opportunity of working on managerial roles. They may then have the responsibility for the work of other writers within a particular company, or they may prefer to become contractors. This means selling their services through an agency employing many freelance technical writers, whose services are charged to companies at an hourly rate.
Question: What do you think which factor is more significant, being able to writer well or meeting tight deadlines? Why?
Answer: I think neither of them can be ignored. We need technical writers not only being able to write well but also being competent to meet tight deadlines.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 2Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “Increasing numbers of people are virtually slaves to their schedules. We are not leading our lives, but merely following a dizzying timetable of duties, commitments and demands and options.” You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.正确答案：
【范文】
Stop Being Slaves to Schedules It is often said that people who has no plan for their work will easily mess up their life. Therefore, to some extent, a schedule is important. But if we overdo it with a rigid schedule, there will also lay some disadvantages for our life.
With a faster pace of social development, people have more work to do and more and more slaves to schedules show up. For these people, life is compared to a programmed computer. All they need to do is to do as the schedule. There will be little interest left and all the hours will become monotonous and dull. So, they are not working to live but living to work.
Moreover, colorful life is the main source for personal creativity. If we fill our life up with a dizzying timetable of duties, commitments and demands and options, how do we develop our innovation spirit and inject new blood for the improvement of society? Actually, improper schedules may even kill our passions for work with a lower and lower efficiency. These reverse effects are not what we want when planning the schedules.
In general, we need a flexible schedule in which emphasis is equally distributed both on work and personal life. So, if you feel arrested by your timetable, stop to give proper freedom to a more qualified life style.解析： 暂无解析 -

【参考范文】
21st Century: Newspaper vs. Internet In modern world, the role of newspaper is being seriously challenged by the booming IT industry or Internet. As a matter of fact, nowadays nearly everything starts with an “e”, and newspaper will be replaced by other computer-based means of information transportation.
In the first place, newspaper can never match the Internet in its speed. Actually, information of any kind can be transported digitally at up to 300 million meters per second. In a world of efficiency, newspaper can be defeated for this reason solely.
Furthermore, with the Internet, information can be transmitted in a three-dimensional way, which consists of sound, live-show and even interaction, whereas in the paper, only words and photographs could be presented. Therefore, the former is more vivid and descriptive.
In conclusion, though newspaper is still regarded as indispensable for our daily life, it cannot match the Internet in many aspects.解析：

问答题Practice 2Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Human Activity and the Earth. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.正确答案：
【参考范文】
Human Activity and the Earth That human activity has an effect on our planet is beyond doubt. While some of man’s accomplishments have made the Earth a better place for people to live in, they have not come without cost. Overall, it seems that human activity harms the Earth more than it benefits the Earth.
For example, the transportation systems that benefit mankind pollute the air and use up valuable energy resources. Additionally, accomplishments such as the supply of potable water are only responses to problems that mankind created in the past. In the first place, it was man that made the water unhealthy to drink.
All in all, the damage that human activity causes will eventually have a negative effect on people. They will suffer the effects of pollution and gradually diminishing natural resources.解析：

You have 30 minutes to plan, write, and revise your essay. Typically, an effective response will contain a minimum of 300 words.Some people believe that hard work is the only way to be successful. Other people believe that success comes from luck. Which do you agree with and why?正确答案： (1)
In my opinion, I believe hard work is the most important element to be successful. The meaning of success varies for different people. As for me, success is being financially well off and being emotionally happy as well. And hard work is the gateway to success.
The main reason why people are successful is to work hard. A hard worker is able to follow directions from superior, act in obedience to the orders given to him. And in most cases, works set goals for themselves. But the difference that sets hard workers apart from regular workers is hard workers make any effort to accomplish their objectives. Hard workers are well aware of their goal and do not stop until they achieve it. Consequently, success is due to those who truly work hard.
A good example of this is Tiger Woods. He is a person who has been extremely successful. Maybe he possesses some natural talent, but in fact, he spent a tot of time and efforts on practicing, and finally became an excellent golfer. He did not just rely on luck one day and win a championship in a tournament. It is the years of dedication and hard work he put into golf that leads to his success. Natural talent can only get you to the entrance of the field.
Hard work provides consistent or sustained power to become success too, because people do not necessarily depend on chance factors, such as luck. Hard work is something people work at doing. They are in the process of pursuing success instead of relying on luck to give them a break. If success is the goal for a hard worker then they will achieve it, and they will be sure to. Their hard work will lead them there.
(2)
At one time I regarded hard work as more important than luck, but now I think chance is of the great importance for success. Luck, or chance, comes about not by design but accidentally. It is the reason why many unqualified people are successful. This success, from the financial perspective, is a matter of chance.
In the movie industry, a lot of actors and models were discovered by chance or owing to some type of luck in many countries around the world. Some of the situations might be that they were sitting next to an agent or a director at lunch, or when they were walking down the street. Someone spotted them. Under Such circumstances, these people were picked out because they happened to be next to the one who could help promote them into a better career and situation. They may then have successful careers and make a lot of money just because of one chance lucky meeting. They were lucky indeed.
Assuming a real world situation. A man owns a restaurant, and he works hard every day to run his business, but the result turns to be that he does not make much money. One day, he gets a call for a special food delivery order. His employee delivers the food to the customer, who is the owner of another large restaurant chain. The franchise owner especially enjoys the food, hence he offers the man a deal that the man is invited to join in the restaurant chain. Then, the man, who was struggling, becomes successful. It was very lucky for the man that the chain restaurant owner tries the food; as a result, he gets the opportunity to achieve success. I believe a lot of people work hard, but do not benefit from luck. Though they do a great job at work and try their very best. If they do not happen to have a certain lucky situations, they may never be successful.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Test 9 According to a report released by the Ministry of Education recently, Chinese students’ ability to hand-write Chinese characters is on the decline and due attention is needed to change such a trend. Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:The Importance of Hand-Writing You are to write in three parts. In the first part, state specifically what your view is. In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons. In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, language and appropriateness. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.正确答案：
【参考范文】
The Importance of Hand-Writing Our impression that students’ hand-writing skills are on the decline is echoed and confirmed by a report from the Ministry of Education. Not only are the students less appreciative to the beautiful hand-writing, the possibilities of them unable to write some Chinese characters are on the increase, and wrong body gestures are also among the problems detected.
The increasing use of computer in our lives is obviously the biggest contributor to this problem. When teachers hand out assignments and collect papers through e-mail, and when the teaching materials are presented and copied in electronic form, how can we expect the students to improve their hand-writing? What’s making the situation worse is the fact that the educators are busily engaged in all sorts of daily routines that modern life requires. And we can not neglect the negative effect of a higher student-teacher ratio, especially in universities. And it is practically impossible for teachers to pay attention to, not to mention doing something about, the hand-writing of the students.
The solution to the problem lies in the combined efforts of students, teachers and schools. Students need to understand the importance of hand-writing while teachers need to inform, to emphasize and to guide the students. And regulations and rules about enhancing the students’ hand-writing should be made and practiced by schools.解析： 暂无解析 -

Friends are indispensable in our daily life. When we feel happy, we can share the pleasure with them; when we feel gloomy, friends will comfort us; when we have some secrets, we just want to share them with friends; and when we have difficulties, friends are always ready to help us.
Life is a bouquet, friendship is flower. We cannot live without friendship just as we cannot survive without air or water. Friendship gives us a feeling of security and warmth; friendship encourages us to go ahead when we encounter difficulty.
Building friendship takes time. True friendship requires equality and loyalty. It is an in-depth relationship combining trust, support, understanding, empathy and intimacy. True friendship should be able to stand all kinds of tests. Just as an old saying goes, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”
In conclusion, we must treasure our friends and friendship. A good friend can be a good companion in our lives. The more friends we have, the more help we can get from them and the more pleasure we can share with them. If we have true friends, we will feel happy in the world.解析： 暂无解析
