问答题Practice 3Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Which to Celebrate—the Western or Eastern Festivals? You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.正确答案：
【参考范文】
Which to Celebrate—the Western or Eastern Festivals? Nowadays, most young people are willing to celebrate western festivals. As a result, importance should be attached to the issue of festival celebration.
As to which to celebrate, there exist different ideas. For one thing, western festival celebrations are so colorful and interesting. Just imagine the romantic atmosphere on St. Valentine’s Day, the fun on All Fool’s Day and the ecstasy brought by gifts and games at Christmas. For another, Chinese festivals have their own attractions. Think about the comfort of family reunion during Spring Festival and the delicacy of national feelings on many occasions.
As for me, some meaningful western festivals are no doubt days to set aside as special. Meanwhile, I cannot afford to be absent from family gathering during many Chinese festivals. My celebration would be a combined one, some for western festivals, some for Chinese ones.解析：

【参考范文】
Holiday Economy The long holidays have caused unexpected great travel craze and brisk economic activities. Holiday spending, not only adds fuel to the Chinese economy, but also leads to the creation of a new term “holiday economy”.
Some economists are in favor of the holiday economy and they believe it has many advantages. Firstly, tourism-based holiday economy will raise consumption, up spending and, therefore, help to spur the domestic demand. Secondly, it benefits tourism, transportation, and hotel and service industries and enables them to thrive during holidays.
However, others overstate its disadvantages and hold that it brings undeniable problems: Thousands and thousands of tourists flood into scenic spots, jamming railway stations and airports, causing some over-crowdedness and safety problems.
I believe its advantages outweigh its disadvantages. After all, it greatly benefits our overall economy.解析：

Internet People are developing an inseparable relationship with Internet recently. As is known to all, it is convenient for us to click the mouse when surfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the work’s needs.
As to whether college students should use Internet, people have different opinions. On the one hand, Internet is one of the most useful means to get knowledge for college students. They can get on line every day to exchange information through e-mails with friends and teachers. But on the other hand, many people admit that they are too much addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.
Therefore, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence. After all, Internet is invented to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain.解析：

【参考范文】
Teenage Smoking Soars In recent years, China has experienced an alarming increase in teenage smoking. The statistics are quite disturbing and cause people to ask why.
The factors for a great rise in teenage smoking are complicated. Some attribute it to the increased standard of living which enables kids to have more pocket money, while others blame cigarette advertising and the import of cigarettes. In addition to the external circumstances, the psychological factors should also be examined. Most young people begin to smoke merely out of curiosity: they have a strong desire to experience the pleasure of smoking. They also have a subconscious feeling that smoking will make them mature and tough and sophisticated.
To help them get rid of such foolish ideas is the first step, and then we may conduct an extensive campaign to make them aware of the dreadful consequences of taking up the habit of smoking.解析：

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：

Your response will be scored on the quality and variety of your sentences, vocabulary, and organization.Practice 1Directions: Read the e-mail below.Directions: Respond to the e-mail as if you are Ms. Chilton. 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.

【范文】
Can Money Buy Happiness? I have once seen a caricature that depicted an ironic picture: a man who is overloaded with a pretty large piece of gold is making every effort to creep forward. However, there is much to say about it. It gives a vivid expression to a serious topic—Can money buy happiness?
Money means wealth—social wealth as well as personal wealth. Making money is creating wealth. The more money you have, the wealthier you are. To increase wealth is what a person desires and what society needs. A person’s desire can never be satisfied and social progress has no ending. Therefore, making money is one of essential activities that identify a person’s existence.
Happiness is referred to as enjoyable experiences that people are feeling. To some extent, enjoyable experiences result from a person’s mental satisfaction. People can never get satisfied with making money, so money is something distant from happiness. Although the man mentioned above is possessed of much money, he is suffering from the weight of gold. It is not exceptional that some millionaires are not happy at all in life. Indeed, money can buy wealth, but it cannot buy happiness if inappropriately used.
Nevertheless money is not in contradiction to happiness when making money is regarded as a means to attain a definite goal. In a word, more attention should be focused on orientation of life when it comes to the subject—Can money buy happiness?解析： 暂无解析 -

【范文】
The best holidays are the ones spent in a different country. Do you absolutely reach an agreement with me? At least, I suggest so. Regarding the reasons, the following example related to my own experience can prove everything.
Several years ago, I was lucky to have an opportunity to go to Singapore to have a summer camp with my high middle school teachers. We have stayed there for about half a month. During that period of time, we had interviewed many high middle schools, and we exchanged our experience of teaching, learning, school management and so on. In that way, we had truly gained much valuable experience. We also paid several visits to some beautiful tourist attractions that were quite different from those of China. Lastly I had also found that Singapore is a country with severe laws for protecting pubic sanitation. It is very easy to find that the country is very clean and tidy with fresh air permeating everywhere.
Till now, through spending holidays in a foreign country, we can really gain a great deal. We can get to know quite different forms of cultures and customs. We can enlarge our vision and may also make several friends from different nationalities. However, the journey abroad will cost you a large sum of money. In all, the benefits obviously outweigh its expenditure.解析： 暂无解析 -

【范文】
My View on the Use of Cell Phone among Teenagers It is usual if you notice a teenager in a school uniform speaking through a cell phone on the street.
It is very convenient to have a cell phone at hand. In the event of an emergency, they can call their parents or teachers or even the police for help by cell phone. They can send text messages to their classmates exchanging ideas or seeking assistance in their learning when they are away from one another. And their parents will not be very worried as it is rather easy for them to contact their children and check their whereabouts and what they are doing by cell phone.
However, some teenagers might indulge themselves in showing how fashionable their cell phones are to their peers. Such behavior might prove contagious and soon other users will be tempted to pester their parents for a showier new model of cell phone. What is annoying to teachers is that the ringing of cell phones will easily disturb the class if some of the students forget to switch off their cell phones in class.
In conclusion, parents should think twice before they buy a cell phone for their children at primary or secondary schools.解析： 暂无解析 -

【范文】
Living in the College Town In recent years, college towns have been thriving across China as a result of rapid economic and cultural development. Students hold different views on living in these remote areas of their cities.
Many of them loathe the isolation from city life. They complain about the tedious experience of catching the shuttle bus to the outskirts every day. And what annoys them more is that they are detached from normal campus life and they find few teachers to interact with. However, quite a number of students argue that staying away from the bustling surroundings will eventually benefit their academic performance.
As one of the students living in a college town, I have deeply experienced the inconvenience and monotony. Therefore, some measures should be taken so that more attention can be given to the students in the college town. On the one hand, more cultural events and recreation activities can be launched. On the other hand, a closer teacher-student relationship should be established so as to strengthen their communication.解析： 暂无解析 -

【参考范文】
Immoral Behavior in Public To witness immoral behavior in public, one just needs to have a look at the bus stop. There are always lots of people waiting for buses at the bus stop. Few of them stand in line as required. Whenever a bus comes, many people just run to the bus and try to get on in chaos. Many of them push each other in an effort to get on first.
Immoral behavior in public leads to a series of problems. Among the most serious, one is that it may exert a negative effect on our sense of social responsibility. If we allow this kind of immoral behavior to continue, we are ignoring others’ rights and feelings, and in turn, we as well will be disrespected.
To improve this phenomenon is certainly not easy. In view of practical implementation, I propose that society make it clear at all points that people who fail to respect the common good will be seriously punished. Strict policies regarding this should be made to correct this phenomenon as soon as possible.解析：

Internet Friendship According to the recent survey, 80% of people who surf online are in search of social interaction. As a consequence, the voice speaking from the other side of the line can be used to disguise aspects of a user’s personality. And this might bring an unpleasant or even damaging outcome.
Numerous examples can be given, here is a typical one. One of my closest friend, Kate, started a net relationship with a man she knew as “Prince Charming”. However, it turns out that her beloved idol was a husband with wife.
In my opinion, it is true that people may gain community on the net, but this exists only in cyberspace.

Tour Fever Should Be Cooled Down As a new and expanding industry, tourism is attracting more and more public attention. Consequently, both arguments and counter-arguments concerning its development have emerged as time goes on. I’d like to focus on its counteraction on social progress.
Above all, tourism sometimes leaves the local people psychologically unbalanced. Because it is usually people from better-off countries or regions that can afford to travel, their wealth sometimes makes the local people more aware of their own poverty.
Next, the exploitation of tourism is bound to destroy some natural resources and scenic areas. Environmental pollution is a case in point and its far-reaching harm is self-evident.
Therefore, it is advisable to discourage rather than encourage tourism at the period when the worldwide economy development has not reached to a balanced state.解析：

【范文】
My View on the Use of E-Dictionary When it comes to learning English, nobody can do it well without the assistance of a dictionary. Confronted with the difficult task of learning English at college level, many students turn to electronic dictionaries (e-dictionaries) for help.
While an ordinary, paperback English-Chinese/ Chinese-English dictionary is often big and heavy, e-dictionaries are small and light, hence quite portable and handy. They provide students with an easy access to information concerning pronunciations, spellings, meanings, translations, antonyms and synonyms whenever students come across a new word.
However, with a limited storage capacity, e-dictionaries are often subjected to a low storage of good examples illustrating the usages of a word compared with its high storage of vocabulary. Meanwhile, an ordinary, paperback dictionary will turn out popular and helpful when it offers abundant examples and illustrations for a word. And a financial problem will also arise if you intend to possess an e-dictionary. The price of an ordinary, paperback dictionary is around 100 Yuan, but the price of an average e-dictionary is often over 200 Yuan.
I would like to have both. I will carry an e-dictionary with me to all my English classes, and, keep an ordinary, paperback dictionary close at hand when I am learning alone.解析： 暂无解析 -

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 -

【范文】
Youth Unemployment upon Graduation The recent years have witnessed a depressing social phenomenon in many countries—a great number of college students become unemployed after graduation. This fact not only causes pressure for the graduates, but also lays burden on the society.
There are mainly two possible reasons accounting for this problem. Firstly, the expansion of universities provides chances for more students to receive higher education, but the job market cannot develop at the same speed. The situation is even worse with those students who uniformly choose the “hot” majors such as economics and accounting. Secondly, some students think too highly of themselves so that they choose not to work at all if they are not satisfied with the salary or working environment of the job.
To solve this problem, the government should try to develop the economy in order to create more job opportunities. College authorities should take the job market into consideration when enrolling students. Besides, students also should cherish every job opportunity.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 4Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “Some people place a high value on loyalty to the employer. To others, it is perfectly acceptable to change jobs every few years to build a career.” 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】
Should We Change Jobs a Lot or Not? Different cultures place varying values on loyalty to the employer. In some countries, most notably in Asia, there is a high degree of loyalty to one company. However, in most European countries and the United States, loyalty to one’s employer is not highly valued; instead, it is considered more rational and reasonable for an employee to change jobs whenever it is warranted to achieve the optimal overall career. Both of these positions have advantages and disadvantages.
In cultures that value loyalty to the employer, a kind of family relationship seems to develop between employer and employee. It is a reciprocal arrangement which the employer is concerned with assisting the employee to develop his/her full potential and the employee is concerned about optimizing the welfare of the company. The negative aspect of absolute loyalty to one company is that an employee may stay in one job that he/she has outgrown and may miss out on opportunities to develop in new directions. From the employer’s point of view, the company may be burdened with employees whose skills no longer match the needs of the company.
In cultures in which it is quite acceptable to change jobs every few years, employees can build the career they choose for themselves. They can stay with one company as long as it is mutually beneficial to company and employee. As long as good relationship exists and the employee’s career is advancing at an acceptable pace, the employee can remain with a company. But at any time the employee is free to move to another, perhaps to achieve a higher position, to move into a new area, or to find a work situation that is more suitable to his/her personality. The disadvantage of this situation is that employees tend to move from around a lot.
Although both of these systems have advantages and disadvantages, it is much better for employees to have opportunity to move from job to job if it is necessary to have a better career.解析： 暂无解析 -

【范文】
The More I Learn, the More Ignorant I Find Myself to Be As soon as I was enrolled in college, I felt a big burden off my mind. So did my classmates. We just wanted to relax. But at our first English lesson on how to improve our study the teacher told us, “There is no end of learning. The more you learn, the more ignorant you will find yourself to be. The only way you can do is to work hard to learn more.”
The teacher’s words awaken me and remind me of the ignorant few who claim to have all of the answers to man and life but know less than you or I, and who, with their hands held up high, offer everything you may have wanted to know about life itself, but when pushed and pried knowing nothing but what they are told. Now I am a postgraduate, and life has taught me too many harsh lessons. The more I learn and experience, the more I realize how little I know. Therefore, bearing in mind the motto that there is no end of learning, I keep on my studies. I do not only learn from the books, but also from experiences, as practice makes perfect.
For all of my efforts, I am fully aware how far I am away from the sea of knowledge. The more I learn, the more ignorant I find myself to be and the more I feel the need to learn. Art is long, and life is short.解析： 暂无解析 -

My View on Home-fear Group As usual, many people working outside will be eager to go home and visit friends and families whom they have missed terribly. However, according to a survey, the surprise is that there are an increasing number of people, known as the “home-fear” group, who feel anxious about returning home.
As far as I am concerned, such fears can be attributed to economic pressure, long distance, parents’ desire to see their child get married and so on. Besides, difficulty in buying tickets is another important reason causing fear. In Spring Festival, not only bus and train but also airplane can not offer enough seats to take people home. So many people have to line up in advance for a couple days. In addition, many people are anxious about having to spend a lot of money during the festival.
In my opinion, Spring Festival is the time for family reunion. Therefore, the “home-fear group” should abandon all their worries, and go home to spend Spring Festival with their family.解析： 暂无解析 -

【范文】
Is Space Worth Exploring? With the development of science and technology, space exploration has greatly advanced. We could watch the exciting news from TV and read the latest achievement in this field almost every day. As human beings, we are so proud of our work.
Yet, not everyone has the same attitude towards this issue. Some people think we could use the money and resources to find out ways to relieve the suffering of the earth’s starving millions. It has also been felt that the space might lead to the development of space weapon, which may cause the destruction of earth. Despite these disadvantages and potential dangers, the advantages are far greater. Our daily life cannot be without the results of the space science. We use satellites for communication, weather forecast and oil exploration. Some problems may be solved with further exploration. For instance, with the success of space shuttles and the feasibility of living on other planets, we may solve the population problem on earth. Space projects will also enable us to find new sources of energy to solve the energy problem and discover new chemical elements to cure some incurable diseases.
So in my opinion, space exploration contributes a lot to the improvement of the quality of human life. We will have better life with the advances of the space exploration.解析： 暂无解析
