1.问答题Free trade is an economic policy under which the government does not interfere with trade. No tariffs are applied to imports or exports, and people are allowed to trade goods and services as they please. Supply and demand dictates the prices for which goods and services sell and are the only factors that determine how resources are allocated in society. Under a free trade system, there are no trade barriers. There is free access to markets and market information, and there are no government-imposed monopolies. The following are opinions from both sides. Read the excerpt carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:  1. summarize briefly the opinions from both sides, and then  2. give your comment.  Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.  Those who support free trade believe that it allows companies to come by raw materials and lower prices, which, in turn, results in lower prices on the open market. Supporters also believe that the levels of employment in a nation are determined by the monetary policy of that nation and not the trade policy. Additionally, when people must compete for a profit, they produce better products and are more motivated to increase their education and knowledge because these increases come with personal benefits.  On the contrary, many believe that the government should dictate prices and impose more taxes on imports and exports. Critics often believe that many outsourced jobs are a result of free trade practices; and regulating trade could keep companies from finding cheaper labor and lower cost overseas. There are also concerns with the social burden of limited job security if companies put too much effort into looking for cheaper labor and lower cost. Critics feel that this results in a more worried, cautious public that is less likely to spend and invest in the economy. This is certainly not an advantage when the world economy is already in recession.

4.问答题So many high school graduates have no clues what they want to pursue as a career as they head off to college. So, here’s the question: How many times have you changed your major(s) while in college and what prompted the change(s)? The following are opinions from all walks of life. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:  1. summarize briefly the opinions in the excerpts;  2. give your comment.  Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Never Changed  Claire | High School Teacher: I actually never changed my major. I declared elementary education immediately and stuck with it. I thought I wanted to minor in math, but before I even took a single math class, I ended up switching to English. Aside from student teaching and a long term sub position in 5th grade immediately following graduation, I’ve actually NEVER taught elementary school. I went ahead and took the Texas exam to get certified k-12 and I’ve only taught high school since. Sometimes I wish I had just done secondary education. Sadly, I don’t actually think any of my education classes in college affected the way I teach—experience has really been the best class I’ve had.  Kevin | Accountant: I never changed my major in college! I knew exactly what I wanted, where I was going, and what I ultimately hoped to achieve after graduation with my AAS Degree in Business Management/ Accounting, I went directly to work in my chosen profession and never looked back! It served me well for about twenty-five years.  Murphy | Middle School Teacher: I never changed my major in college, but I did not declare a major until the university forced me to. I majored in Political Science simply because it interested me. Of course, when I did declare this major everyone, especially my patents, asked me what I was going to do with it and my answer was always that I wasn’t sure. I ended up receiving a teaching credential two years after receiving my B.A. in Political Science and have been teaching for the last 26 years.  Changed  Dastice | Clerk: I changed my major from Psychology to Sociology. I still minored in Psych, and also in Women’s Studies. My only drive in changing majors was that I enjoyed the classes more. I figured if I stuck with what I enjoyed then a career would somehow emerge from it once I got my degree. Knowing what I know now, however, I probably would have majored in something like business or law. After graduating with my degree I ended up working jobs that didn’t even require a college education. Experience was far more valuable, I was told.  Jenny | College Student: I, for some reason, never knew majors were a huge deal and could be almost as important as your life. I started out as an arts and Spanish major. I then realized the program my school offered for the education major took care of 4 classes I would have to take for my MA. I dropped the art major and went into the education major. My last semester came and I was at a crossroads: take the final course to complete my major in education or the class to complete my Spanish major. I do get a little upset thinking I was only one class away from another major.  Gaha | Writer: I changed it once. I started college at eighteen and a little naive as to the working world. I chose to major in Business, not sure why, in fact I don’t think I really even knew what it entailed. It wasn’t until the onset of my junior year that I came to an epiphany that I had only take a couple of business classes because they bored me out of my mind. After taking a look at my transcript, realizing that I was totally into foreign languages and literature, I decided to get into writing. And a new writer was born!

  • 第10题:

    问答题
    Smoking bans in public places are becoming more and more common in China. Whether the right of the non-smoker to breathe in fresh air outweighs that of the smoker to smoke freely is a matter of opinion, manifesting itself in a heated smoking ban debate. The following are opinions from both sides on this issue. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:  1. summarize briefly the opinions from both sides, and then  2. give your comment.  Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.  A smoking ban is a public policy that includes criminal laws and health regulations that prohibit smoking in certain public places and workspaces. There are many reasons why smoking bans originated, but most of these have medical origins. Research has shown secondhand smoke is almost as harmful as smoking in and of itself. The effects of secondhand smoke are relatively the same as smoking. Lung disease, heart disease, bronchitis and asthma are common. Those who live in homes with smokers have a 20-30 percent higher risk of developing lung cancer than those who do not live with a smoker.  Smoking bans are also imposed because they improve air quality in restaurants and other establishments. In Beijing, it is now illegal to smoke in all hospitality venues. Studies have also shown employees are exposed to far fewer toxins in areas where smoking is banned in the workplace.  Despite the positive effects on health and air quality, many people are still opposed to smoking bans in China. Critics oppose smoking bans and see these laws as an example of the government interfering in people’s lives. They look at the effects on smokers, not those on non-smokers who are subjected to second-hand smoke. Other critics emphasize the rights of the property owner and draw distinctions between public places, such as government building and privately owned businesses, such as stores and restaurants.  Some critics of smoking bans believe that outlawing smoking in the workplace may cause smokers to simply move their smoking elsewhere. Instead of smoking indoors, workers may begin smoking in public parks and exposing a new set of people to their secondhand smoke.

    正确答案:
    【参考范文】
    Is Smoking Bans Necessary? Nowadays, there are more and more smoking bans in public places. When asked whether the right of the non-smoker to breathe in fresh air outweighs that of the smoker to smoke freely, different people have different opinions. Some people hold that smoking bans is essential because it helps non-smokers get away from secondhand smoke which is as harmful to health as smoking and improves air quality in public places. However, others oppose smoking bans. They think that the government is interfering in people’s lives and violating the rights of the property owner by these laws which may just cause smokers to move their smoking elsewhere.
    As far as I am concerned, it is more significant to ban smoking in public places though it takes away some of our freedom. As we all know, smoking is a bad habit. It can cause a lot of diseases, such as lung cancer, bronchitis. It is very harmful to not only smokers but also non-smokers. Ratio of passive smokers getting ill is higher than that of smokers. Smoking bans can limit smokers’ smoking to some extent and make non-smoker less likely to expose to secondhand smoke. Therefore, it can remove risks for many people. Besides, smoking pollute environment by giving much poisonous gas off into the air. Smoking bans can improve air quality and ensure a healthy environment for people. In addition, some people may say that it take away of some of our freedom. I think it is a one-sided view. Our freedom should not be built on the suffering of others. If one wants to smoke, he can smoke in private, not in public places. Thus, smokers still have the freedom of smoking without bringing harms to others.
    In conclusion, smoking bans are necessary. In fact, in order to keep healthy, smokers had better get rid of smoking, not only in public places, but also in private places, everywhere. It will beneficial to all of us.

    M: If you look at any list of New Year’s resolutions you wouldn’t be surprised to see find a better job fight at the top. Vera Gibbons of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine is here with some tips to help you get a better job or maybe take on a career change. Good morning, Vera.
    W: That’s right, good morning, nice to see you.
    M: Nice to see you too. Happy New Year.
    W: Same to you.
    M: Start the new year, start looking for a new job, what’s amazing is how many people are actually thinking of doing that this year.
    W: Yes, one survey found that 75% of American workers plan to look for a new job this year. They’re unhappy with the pay; they’re unhappy with the situation at their work; they want new challenges; there’s no room for advancement with their current employer, so a lot of people are going to be out there looking for work, and this is the time of year that we are more inclined to actually take the bull by the horns, take the initiative to go out there and find that job.
    M: That whole resolution thing.
    W: Yes.
    M: Is there a good time to go about doing this?
    W: Well you know, the opportunities pop up all year long but, yes, the heaviest of hiring generally does take place at the beginning of the year, early, they fire at the end of the year, they hire in the new. They fire for Christmas, and then hire in the next year.
    M: So if you think about doing it, you really should get out there now.
    W: Get out there now and get the ball rolling, yes.
    M: What about the job market in 2007, what does it look like?
    W: It is softening a little bit, job growth is slowing down some, because of the contraction in housing and all of those sectors, but that’s been offset a bit by the service sector. Those types of companies are hiring in the service industry. We’re actually expecting 1.3 million jobs to be created this year. And one survey by Career Builder actually found 40 percent of employers will be hiring full-time employees this year. So it’s not a bad time, it’s not great, it’s OK.
    M: OK, so if you’re ready to take the plunge, if you wanna get out there, you have some tips. NO. 1 is Do Some Soul Searching.
    W: Yes, I just think in order to get out of a job that isn’t going anywhere, a career that’s gonna drift, you really have to sit down and be proactive here, you can’t be reactive you have to be proactive. Motivation is really the key to making any changes in your personal life. People may sit back and say: well I’m getting a paycheck. The benefits are good. Why rock the boat? Here’s the thing, we’re spending that half of our life in the workplace, if you’re unhappy, do some soul searching, figure out where you are, and where you would like to go.
    M: And part of that is you say prioritize your options. What do you mean?
    W: Yeah, I mean write down 5-10 things that are important to you in your job, in your career, maybe you wanna a better work-life balance, more flexible schedule whatever that happens to be again, take a look at what’s making you happy, what makes you unhappy, take a look at your goals, your dreams, your aspirations and then put together a plan to actually reach those goals. Because you’re more inclined to get there if you have a plan in place.
    M: Good idea. You can actually write these all out. Also of course when you’re going out for that job search, you gotta have the resume, so you say make that resume stand out.
    W: Yeah, you know, employers only spend about 10 seconds looking at your resume and on ...
    M: Ten seconds?
    W: Yeah, and get this on average for every 245 resumes, they get, they only interview one person for 245 resumes. So it’s very competitive. You need to have your resume stand out, keep it short, keep it succinct, keep it to the point, focus on your measurable accomplishments. And because you’re gonna be looking for different jobs you should be highlighting different skills, different experiences, so it may be relevant for one position but not for another, so you wanna highlight different ones, have several different versions of the resume, all ready to go, then get out there, do the networking.
    M: OK, and just briefly, you say do not look online, but do a lot of networking.
    W: A lot of networking. That’s the key.
    M: Vera Gibbons, thanks so much!
    W: Thanks.

    In Paris cocktail parties and buffet receptions of various kinds are great opportunities for people to meet each other and make friends with each other. Strangers can make acquaintance with each other on such occasions. Overseas Asians would like to respectfully present others their calling cards with their hands, even before they say hello to each other. And this seems to be an indispensable courtesy on their part. By contrast, most Frenchmen are not likely to do that when they meet. They may greet each other, and sometimes even have a casual chat before they leave. Only when they find they have something in common and want to further their relationship, will they exchange their calling cards. It seems rather embarrassing for them to be presented a calling card before opening their mouth.

    The value of cross-border world trade.

    B

    The globalised markets for standardized products.

    C

    The ratio of the value of cross-border world trade to that of global GDP.

    D

    The sales volume of identical goods and services around the world.


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    推断题由题干关键词reflect和globalisation可定位到第一段最后一句话:最能反映全球化进程的数字是跨境贸易的总额占整个GDP总值的百分比,即为C项,同时可排除选项A(跨境贸易总额)。第二段虽然提到Theodore Levitt预测到一个产品高度标准化的全球性市场,但该段只是为了说明全球化市场的起源,并不能反映市场全球化的趋势,故排除B项。文章第一句虽然也提到相同的产品和服务在全球范围内进行售卖,但这是市场全球化的现象,并非其衡量标准,故排除D项。综上所述,本题答案为C项。

    正确答案: A

On current trends, fewer than 14 million cars and light trucks will be sold in the US this year, the market’s worst performance in 15 years. Shares in General Motors, America’s biggest car maker, have fallen to a level last seen in the 1950s.
