I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was such a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light. As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother of the wheel,” he said. “We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been strengthened. And I remembered once again never to judge people by their appearance.

Directions: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 on the ANSWER SHEET.
答案：解析：The pie chart given above reflects the public's attitude towards food safety.According to the figures,44.7%of the people take neutral attitude towards food safety,ranking first.The percentage of consumers being a little worried about food safety ranks the third among all.making up t 5.8%.There is no denying that food safety is related to people's health and basic livelihood.However,many producers tend to adopt poor-quality raw materials to lower costs,resulting in poor-quality products prevailing in our society,which not only poses threats to people's health,bul also wreaks havoc（破坏）on the economic development and social stability.Particularly,when the authorities concerned fail to give direct control and supervision,these profit-driven companies are unlikely to shoulder social responsibility.To conclude,such a trend will probably develop more dramatically in the future.Therefore,it is advised that administrators and the authorities should keep taking measures to reverse such trend,and it is only by consistent and persistent efforts that they can ultimately eliminate the misdeeds. -

答案：解析：This table ilustrates the difference of degree of satisfaction among employees at different ages in some company.In general,the overall trend of the degree of satisfaction is different with the variation of ages.Of those who feel satisfactory about their jobs,those beyond 50 years old take up the majority,accounting for 40%,followed by those who are no more than 40 years old,which take up 16.7%.Those between 41 to 50 years old have the lowest satisfactory rate,merely0.0%.Of those who feel dissatisfactory about their jobs,those between 41 to 50 years old take up the majority,accounting for 64.0%,followed by those less than 40 years old,which take up 33.3%.Those who beyond 50years old enjoy the lowest dissatisfactory rate,taking up only 10%.Besides,there are still 50.0%of less than 40 years old employees,36.0%of those between 41 to 50 years old and 50.0%of over 50 years old employees remaining uncertain about the degree of satisfaction.The contributory factors to this result can mainly divide into three parts.Firstly,those less than 40 years old are ambitious,impractical and eager to find their places in work.With those characteristics,they often get upset find their places in work.With those characteristics,they often get upset when they fail to fulfill their goals.Secondly,those between 41 to 50 years old employees,confronted with challenges posed by their young colleagues,often face a great deal of working competition and pressure.Lastly,with their impending retirement,those beyond 50 years old face relatively small working pressure and feel satisfactory about their jobs.From this table,we can make a conclusion that if the companies want to raise the degree of satisfaction of its employees,it should make more efforts to improve the working environment,ameliorate the welfare and establish the effective incentive mechanism. -

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. All the customers want is first level 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 more healthy way.解析：

You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.正确答案：
【范文】
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 -

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 -

【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 -

Let the Crying Water Tap Stop CryingAs is depicted in the cartoon entitled A C, Crying Water Tap, water is continually dripping from the tap, spilled over the ground and wasted. The scene points to a rather thought-provoking problem of resources abuse in the present-day society.
Nowadays, some people are unaware of the oncoming fresh water shortage, not only because they believe that such resources come from inexhaustible supplies, but al- so because they do not place a high value on valuable things-at all. Even worse, they hold the same notions towards other precious natural resources than water-electricity, paper, and food, just to name a few. Sad to say, those people never get round to noticing the sad scene depicted in the picture. It seems that they pretend not to belong to the global village or they have misconceptions about nature conservation.
Given the painful situation, it is high time that the importance of nature conservation be directed to the public not simply by means of guidance but also by means of law enforcement. Unless such an epidemic is checked, we will run into great troubles in store for us, and even Worse, there will not be water dripping out Of the tap any more.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 -

Typically, an effective essay will contain a minimum of 300 words. Your response will be scored on:·whether your opinion is supported with reasons and/or examples·grammar,·vocabulary, and·organization.Practice 1Directions: Read the question below. 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.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 -

One afternoon, the author was driving his car. He was happy at first and sang along with the radio. But after a while his good mood was ended by a piece of news that a rich man had broken the law. Then he came across four bikers who were collecting money for needy children. Because of their goodness and kindness, the author concluded that people shouldn’t be judged by their appearance. At this moment, the man felt happy again.
Nowadays, we often judge others by their appearance. If a person looks rough and dangerous, we tend to regard him as a bad man, let alone speak to him and help him. In my opinion, we mustn’t judge books by their covers. We should learn that looks matter little and actions matter most. When we meet people in need, we should give them a hand even though they look somewhat rough, because kindness may live in their souls.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 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 -

【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 -

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：

问答题Directions: Study the following drawing carefully and write an essay in which you should (1) describe the drawing, (2) interpret its implications, and (3) give your comments. You should written at least 120 words.正确答案：
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.

【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 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. We also need to rethink our attitudes about spending. Moreover, recycling is also a good idea. I believe if we work together we can successfully solve the rubbish problem.解析： 暂无解析 -

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 -
