Practice 3 Directions: Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words. All of us should keep a kitchen diary, showing how much food is left uneaten as garbage. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. In the United States, 40 percent of food is wasted from farm to fork. Each year, the amount of food thrown away in rich countries is almost the same as that produced in sub-Saharan Africa. This raises some important questions. In developing countries, food is lost because farmers do not have appropriate cooling, storage or market access for their crops. Their grains, fruits and vegetables dry up and rot away. In developed countries, the picture is different, and food is wasted in supermarkets, restaurants and at home. China faces both problems, significant losses in farms, as well as at the sale and consumption stages. And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is rapidly increasing. Consumer culture has filled China and urban residents can get quality food from anywhere in the country and from across the planet. Chinese consumers are as particular about their food as those in other countries. In supermarkets, they refuse to buy vegetables that don’t look fresh or have an irregular shape, or milk and other products close to their expiry (失效) date. Should Chinese consumers take more responsibility for the waste they create? Everyone deserves to have enough food to eat. Despite China’s impressive success in reducing hunger over the past three decades, the job is not completed yet.

Write an essay based on the chart below.In your writing,you should（1）interpret the chart,and（2）give your comments.You should write about 150 words neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.（15 points）答案：解析：China's automobile Market Grows Rapidly According to the table above,the automobile production sales in China amounted to over 8 mil-lion in 2007.with an average annual growth of more than 22%from 2001 to 2007.This means that after less than one decade of development,China has emerged into the world,s fastest-growing major auto market There are two main reasons for the increase.For one thing,since general market-oriented reforms were introduced in China around 30 years ago,restrictions and controls on the automobile sector have been gradually eased,resulting in the joint venture partnerships with major global automo bile manufacturers.For another,thanks to the burgeoning economy,the disposable income of Chinese citizens has maintained an upward trend for years,contributing to an increasing number of peo ple owning private vehicles.Despite the breakneck growth over the past decade,Chinas auto market still has much room to grow before reaching saturation and the prospects for China s auto market remain bright. -

问答题Practice 3Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the topic “How to Solve the Energy Problem.” 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】
How to Solve the Energy Problem Energy is one of the biggest problems people are faced with today. Not a few far-sighted people point out that our natural resources are very much limited. If we keep consuming our resources at the present rate, they warn, the world will soon be running out of oil, coal and metals and this will certainly lead to a serious energy crisis threatening mankind’s survival.
The majority of the world’s people have responded with a clamor for more severe conservation of our natural resources. This is urgently necessary, indeed. It must be realized that much of our energy, in the form of oil, coal, gas, or electricity, has been wantonly consumed. If things go on like this, we will leave for our descendants a devastated world, a vast stretch of wasteland. So, from now on, we will have to make serious efforts to practise economy in using energy and cut down waste of any form so as to slow down the present drain on our limited resources.
But conservation alone is not all the answer. The best way to solve the energy problem is, I think, to develop new sources of energy. It is obvious that, even if we save much energy by using it carefully, our natural resources, however abundant, will run out ultimately. And when they are unexplored areas seems to be the only way out of our predicament.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 1Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “Success is something most people try to achieve.” 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】
At the mention of success, different people maintain various views. Some hold that wealth is the only criterion on account that without money you can’t live a decent life, and that the more money you possess, the happier you will be. Some however, regard fame as a symbol of one’s achievement, in that the social recognition is the value of each individual because people will respect you if you are in high social status. In my personal point of view, the achievement of self-value decides whether his or her life is successful.
Maslow’s famous theory has pointed out that human needs are divided in to different levels. Once the lower level has been achieved, we begin to seek higher needs. Money, which brings us basic needs of life, only produces physical comfort. Social needs are higher, because respect and recognition are indispensable for us social animals. But the highest need we pursue is the self-value, which is through work or other things we do, we feel we are needed and contribute our efforts to the society. This has nothing to do with which social rank we are in.
So whether one person is successful or not does not hinge on his wealth and fame, for the accomplishment of self-worth is what we should focus on.解析： 暂无解析 -

【范文】
Living in a Big City or a Small Town With ample supply of medical resources, convenient public transportation, various entertainment activities and normally higher salary than that of elsewhere, big cities are rather preferable to some people.
However, big cities have their own disadvantages which make them inferior to small towns. Air pollution and noise pollution pose a threat to citizen’s health. Traffic congestions will also fill big cities with frustrated drivers, which add peril to driving. Therefore, some people choose to live in a small town.
Small towns, though not so developed and prosperous as big cities, are often peaceful as there are not many people and heavy traffic. People do not have to travel a long distance to work. In a small town, there is relatively more space for green belts, parks or gardens where people, can enjoy the fresh air. Unlike people living in big cities, those living in a small town will have greater chances of making acquaintances of one another in the neighborhood by leisurely exchanging greetings since they do not have to hustle and bustle all around.
I would choose to live in a small town. I love to spend my time walking in a place with more space, fresh air and greenness.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题The extract below comes from an article which appeared in a magazine called Society Today. You read the extract and have strong feelings about its contents, and decide to write an article, in which you respond to the points made and express your own views. You should write the article in no fewer than 120 words. Now write your letter on the answer sheet.正确答案：
The Influence of Popular CultureIt seems that image and appearance are attracting more and more attention in the modern world which is full of material desires. Some believe that it is the rise of popular culture including the media, sport and the fashion industry to blame. It is definitely true that this has somewhat brought about some shallow and egoistic people. However, we absolutely should not attribute this to the popular culture itself.
Popular culture, opposite to exquisite culture, is easy to appreciate and comprehend and is oriented to the common people. Being popular does not mean emphasizing the appearance. The reason why they mislead some people is that they have developed a false concept in their mind. They believe anything popular must be presentational and only related to outer appearance.
Whether the influence of popular culture is positive or negative depends on how people perceive and treat them. Properly used, they can instruct and entertain the public; on the contrary, they can also produce a generation of skin-deep people.解析： 暂无解析 -

【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 -

【范文】
My Views on the Freedom Given to Young People Young people have more freedom today than they did one hundred years ago, but how much freedom depends on the family. And it is obvious that nowadays young people are given too much freedom by their parents.
As we know, today parents are busy with their work and have no time to get much information about their children, for example what they have done and what kinds of friends they have. This isn’t a good phenomenon because young people can easily get into trouble by drinking too much or mixing with the wrong people. What’s worse, they may get addicted into online games. Therefore, some limitations should be given to young people, such as the prohibition of drinking and smoking and the online time. On the other hand, young people must learn how to be sensible, knowing what should be done and what shouldn’t be done.
In all, I don’t think parents should give their children too much freedom, but it is important for parents and children to reach agreement on some rules.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 3 Directions: Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words. All of us should keep a kitchen diary, showing how much food is left uneaten as garbage. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. In the United States, 40 percent of food is wasted from farm to fork. Each year, the amount of food thrown away in rich countries is almost the same as that produced in sub-Saharan Africa.

Should Chinese consumers take more responsibility for the waste they create? Everyone deserves to have enough food to eat. Despite China’s impressive success in reducing hunger over the past three decades, the job is not completed yet.正确答案： 【范文】
Food wasting exists both in developing and developed countries. The rich countries waste their food because they buy a mount of items more than they need and always choose the best products, leaving other products out of date. The developing countries waste their food because they don’t have appropriate methods to store and distribute their food. Nevertheless, China has both problems and still need to make efforts to reduce hunger.
With the rapid development of economy, people’s standard of living increases, but waste phenomena also appear. Therefore, in my opinion, the whole society must work together to solve this problem. For government, they can continue to carry out some activities like “Clean Plate Campaign” and arouse the public’s awareness of saving food. For individuals, we should practice thrifty as a virtue. When buying our food in a restaurant or in a supermarket, we should remind ourselves that many people in the world still have no food to eat.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 2Write an essay in about 150 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should:1. Write out the messages conveyed by the cartoon.2. Give your comments.正确答案：
【参考范文】
It goes without doubt that promises are ubiquitous in our daily life. We can hear varieties of promises either from TV, newspaper or from other mass media. As is shown in the cartoon, even a hen has learned how to promise. Undoubtedly it is hen’s duty to lay eggs. And the eggs of course contain shell, yolk and egg whites. But now all this needs to be promised.
It is not uncommon to find more such unnecessary promises. For example, to ensure the quality of the goods is the responsibility and duty of a store. However, some stores will stick up a notice promising “there is no fake product here”. It sounds so ridiculous.
As far as I’m concerned, doing is better than saying. What all the customers want is high-quality service. Therefore, more emphasis should be laid on how to improve the quality of goods as well as that of the employees. Only in this way can we make the economy prosper in a healthier way.解析： 暂无解析 -

答案：解析：The line graph shows audience rating at different time.From the graph,it can be seen clearly that the number of TV audiences is on the rise from 6 a.m.At noon the number of audiences accounts for about 20%of the total population.At 6 p.m.,audience balloons to the peak of the day,reaching approximately 59%,and then the number ofTV audiences drops dramatically.There are several reasons leading to the trend of the audience rating.In the first place,traditional Chinese families would like to get together after dinner,watching news report or other entertainment programmes,therefore 6 p.m.witnesses the highest point of the whole day.Second,the drop of audience rating after 6 p.m.is partly due to the prevalence of Internet.There is a trend that more people resort to virtual space and computer games for entertainment at night.Third,since working people and students are occupied by theirjob sand study at daytime,only retired people and housewives are potential audience.Therefore,audience rating is in accordance with people's pace oflife.Internet has impacted TV audience to some extent. -

It Pays to Be Honest Nowadays, some people hold the opinion that those honest people are fools whose ways of coping with the outside world cannot work. They believe that only those who stop at nothing to get what one wants can subsist and succeed in our society, which features severe competitions. However, in my opinion, no matter what we do, to be honest is the best policy for all of us. If we stick to the principle of honesty, we will benefit and achieve for sure a lot from it, which will promote us to succeed in the future.
Honesty can help us win trust and respect from others, which no doubt will do good to us. In university, for example, to students, honesty is of great importance and of great value to their academic research or cooperation with their supervisors. To tell the truth, it requires a good deal of time and patience to do the research honestly. Nevertheless, we will learn a lot from our hard work and will feel fulfilled as well. At the same time, our efforts will be recognized by our supervisors. In this way our honesty will not only bring us improvement in studies, but also will lead to mutual trust and respect between students and supervisors.
In conclusion, honesty is the best policy for all of us. Whatever we do we must uphold the principle of honesty, because it not only can win trust and respect from others for us, but also bring us more opportunities in the future.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】
Which Is More Important: Wealth or Health? In today’s society, many people think wealth is the symbol of success. So some people take the goal of becoming rich as their aim in life. They are crazy for making money. On the contrary, others think health is more important. In balancing the two, I have every reason to accept the latter.
At the first place, good health implies a long life. A man in good health could live a happy life. Next, people usually turn to healthy man for help. Finally, good health brings people great wealth. While big fortune sometimes causes trouble, a man with big fortune who fears of being robbed trusts nobody. What’s more, some evil people want to cheat rich men out of money. Furthermore, many things exist around us that can’t be bought by cash, such as, friendship, love, health and etc.
Therefore, I think good health is more important than wealth. We can do nothing without good health. If we have good health, we can do what we want.解析： 暂无解析 -

【参考范文】
Key Factors to Success That everyone wishes to be successful in life is beyond doubt. To succeed, three fundamental principles should be borne in mind.
The first key factor to success is diligence. Diligence can help us remove ignorance, overcome difficulties, and enlighten our minds. If we while away our time now, our future life will be a failure.
Devotion, which means the concentration of our mind and effort in doing things, is another key factor to success. Whatever job we are doing, we must love it and do it whole-heartedly.
Perseverance, or a strong will, is also necessary in order to make success a certainty. If we study and work day after day, there is nothing that cannot be achieved.
To conclude, all great men achieve success through diligence, devotion, and perseverance, just as the famous English saying goes: no pains, no gains.解析：

To Make Study a Method, Not GoalIn the picture, the dialogue between a pupil and an elder man is very thought-provoking. Carrying a schoolbag much taller than himself, the boy looks at the old man in admiration. If only I were you, retired at home, he says. The old man, on the contrary, admires the pupil, if only I were you, having class at school.
The striking difference between the two characters in the cartoon reveals a great concern: the meaning of study, or why study? The little boy, like most of his peers, are overburdened not only by their school work, but all sorts of off-school training courses sponsored by their parents who are convinced that is the best way of helping their children survive the fierce competition now and in the future. The old man, no matter however mourning over lack of opportunity of study at school in his early age, is eager to continue his learning and live a better life. Anyhow, chances are both of them regard study as their goal, not a substantial method to realize their dreams. The boy buried under endless assignments and tasks, has little time to think about What do I study for? The eider man, on the other hand, is barely aware that study is not con- fined in school classes. He can learn what he likes in dozens of ways. In a word, they go to two extremes without exploring their own goal of life.
A life without aim is just like a sailor without compass, warns a famous philosopher. But if we treat our education as our man goal, and not as a means to an end, then very likely, we will probably be missing in the complex world and admiring others lives. To make everyone of us a promising person, let's build up our aim, right now, without hesitation.解析： 暂无解析 -

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：

问答题Practice 4 Directions: Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words. In our modern world, when something wears out, we throw it away and buy a new one. The problem is that countries around the world have growing mountains of rubbish because people are throwing out more rubbish than ever before. How did we become a throwaway society? First of all, it is now easier to replace an object than to spend time and money to repair it. Thanks to modern manufacturing (制造业) and technology, companies are able to produce products quickly and inexpensively. Products are plentiful and cheap. Another cause is our love of disposable (一次性的) products. As busy people, we are always looking for ways to save time and make our lives easier. Companies produce thousands of different kinds of disposable products: paper plates, plastic cups, and cameras, to name a few. Our appetite for new products also returns to the problem. We are addicted to buying new things. Advertisements persuade us that newer is better and that we will be happier with the latest products. The result is that we throw away useful possessions to make room for new ones. All around the world, we can see the consequences of this throwaway lifestyle. Mountains of rubbish just keep getting bigger. To decrease the amount of rubbish and to protect the environment, more governments are requiring people to recycle materials. However, this is not enough to solve (解决) our problem.正确答案： 【范文】
Nowadays, rubbish can be seen here and there. Some reasons can explain why people throw more rubbish than ever before. First, people prefer buying a new object to repairing an old one. Second, people like to use disposable products because of the convenience. Thirdly, people enjoy the feeling of buying new things.
Rubbish problem has become an urgent issue around the world, so the whole society must take some measures to solve it. In my opinion, we should strengthen the awareness of environmental protection and make efforts to reduce rubbish. We can develop the habit of repairing our professions instead of throwing them away.

问答题Practice 2 Directions: Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words. Television can be a wonderful learning tool. Thirty years ago, some television program helped my sons learn to read, count, socialize and cope with feelings. Nature programs on public television taught them an enormous respect for the world at large and the creatures within it. The basic rule of my family was, “When it’s light out, you’re out”—that is, playing outdoors. With little TV, they were two strong, athletic children who grew up in a home without junk food, did not bother their parents to buy things they saw advertised, never smoked or drank alcohol and knew more about wildlife than the leader of a trip to Kenya. Unfortunately, our experience with television is rarely had by other families. These days, Sitting passively in front of the TV for hours is harmful for the bodies and minds of the nation’s children. Studies have documented unhealthy effects on weight, attention span, reading skills and socialization among children who spend hours a day watching television or playing video games. The average young child in this country watches about four hours of television a day and each year sees tens of thousands of commercials, often for high-fat, high-sugar or high-salt snacks and foods; thousands of episodes of violence; and countless instances of alcohol use and inappropriate sexual activity. By the time American children finish high school, they have spent nearly twice as many hours in front of the television set as in the classroom.正确答案： 【范文】
The parent in this passage explained that television had helped his sons learn more about the world. However, in recent years, television has made negative influences on the nation’s children. Children today have watched too much TV, and also there are too much commercials, violence and inappropriate instances in the television.
Every coin has two sides. When television offers the convenience for us, it also brings about some bad influences. The main rule we should bear in mind is that everything should be done moderately. Watching TV is no exception. In my opinion, children themselves should cultivate the ability to tell what is right and what is wrong and control themselves when they have the temptation to watch TV. As for the parents, they should impose restrictions on children’s TV time and content.解析： 暂无解析 -
