Is the American lifestyle slowing down, in a response to national trauma and the onset of war? Judging from commentaries by cultural analysts and newspaper columnists, the answer is yes.A Boston Globe editorial looked back on a hard year: “But it brought growth, too, and a deeper understanding of just how fragile life is, and how what we often take for grantedthe kiss goodbye in the morning, the chat with a friend, the Saturday soccer gameis what matters most.” An observation from The Washington Post: “People seem to walk more slowly. They are off their brisk, self-important stride. Motorists are driving better. They lay off their horns. They dont jump lights.” From The Dallas Morning News: “Americans are experiencing a sort of cocooning of the heart, cultural experts say. Theyre using this time to reconnect with their families and friends.” If Americans really were beginning to slow down, the contemporary simplicity movement would not be adding another meeting or two a month to our schedules. The antidote to a frenetic work life wouldnt be something called “power leisure”. The celebration of the new slowness may not reflect reality, but it surely does reflect some degree of yearning. Yet there may be a few bold steps we should take to get us on the path to fast-free living.Backpacks. The task of slowing the country down must begin with efforts aimed at prevention. It should begin early, as an inspection of any schoolchilds backpack will reveal. These encumbrances typically have a capacity of one and a half cubic feet and hold loads of forty pounds. The contents, unpacked and spread out like a GIs battle kit, represent hyper-achievement in microcosm. A simple yet revolutionary reform would be to decree that the capacity of school backpacks be reduced by two thirds.Drive-thru windows. The whole point of these amenities is speed, and without intervention drive-thru service will only get faster. According to The Futurist, McDonalds will soon introduce e-mail billing at some of its drive-thru facilities in southern California. Other chains are experimenting with an E-Z Pass system, similar to the one used for bridge and highway tolls; a transponder in the car would permit purchases to be deducted automatically from prepaid accounts.Electric light. Another issue related to biorhythms is the seemingly inexorable drift toward a 24/7 economy. The rule of thumb is that if anything can be done twenty-four hours a day, it will be; daycare centers and dentists offices are now open at midnight. Almost by definition, the maintenance of basic diurnal rhythms is essential to a humane way of life. Political arithmetic may forever doom a significant rise in the gasoline tax, but what about levying a ten-cent-a-watt tax on light bulbs? One happy consequence might be a shift back to daytime baseball.Computer keyboards. Yes, computers have made many aspects of modern life more tolerable, enabling stupendous feats of calculation, storage, and management. But they are also an attractive nuisance, putting unimaginable amounts of sheer capabilityto buy, to pry, to surf, to meddleinto the hands of people unaccustomed to its wise use. One way would be to decide that every computer must have two separate keyboardsone with all the vowels and the other with the consonants.The measures outlined above would be a start. Should more impetus be needed, we could ban cup holders from cars, demand that breaking news be delivered only by mail, and add a ball and a strike to the standard at-bat. If Americans intend to take slowness seriously, they need to start picking up the pace.Write your response on ANSWER SHEET FOUR.审题思路 本题探讨的是美国快节奏生活这一现象，属于社会生活类话题。要求简要概括所给材料中的观点，并发表自己的评论。在具体行文方面，考生可以开篇点题，简要概括材料中作者针对快节奏生活的观点。然后提出自己对这一问题的评论并给出充分的论据支撑。最后总结全文，重述论点。高分范文Slow down and Take a Deep BreathA glance of the American society may give you an illusion that the nation has opted to slow down due to a series of reasons such as war trauma or a deeper understanding of life. Yet, the author of the above excerpts points out that the verdict about this slow life is incorrect. Moreover, he offers four measures for fast-free living. Firstly, school work should be reduced. Secondly, service speed should be slowed down. Thirdly, daytime cycle should be stuck to. And finally, the threshold for computers should be raised. Historian Stephen Kern once pointed out the nature of technology-induced revolution, asserting that its sole purpose is to alter notions of speed, distance, and the pace of social change. These words still mirror the life we are living nowa life that is not meant to slow down at all despite advice from social engineers and soul-cultivators.Riding on the frantic Roller Coaster, we sometimes knowingly or negligently miss the main aim of our life. Home-cooked comfort food gives way to fast food served in McDonalds; a nice scroll over the shops on weekends yields to on-line shopping; a little chat over a cup of coffee with our friends seems like a luxury we cannot afford. All these scenes are nothing but a snapshot of our head-spinning life, yet we are so meddled in it that we lose the perspective of where we are heading for. Its time to halt our frenetic chase after the meaningless “hyper-power” in every walk of our life. After all, life is not simply a tally of the gold mines we spend our whole life painstakingly digging, but rather a heaven that can be seen simply through a wild flower. For that enlightenment, we need to slow down and take a deep breath in this roaring world.

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.Tootling back to the VillageThe lunar new year holiday shows the strength of rural ties.It is often described as the worlds biggest recurring movement of people: a 40-day period spanning the lunar new year, during which astonishing numbers of people travel to join distant family members to celebrate the Spring Festival. Officials call this period Chunyun, or spring transportation. The term evokes horror in the minds of many: trains are so jammed that the only place to sit is on lavatory floors. This year the projected number of journeys on public transport during Chunyun, which will end on March 15th, is nearly 2.9 billion, a 10% increase over the comparable period a year ago. Yet there are reasons to be a little less gloomy about what this entails. The numbers suggest that despite rapid urbanisation, the pull of the countryside remains strong. Many of the journeys involve mingong, or peasant workers, as the nearly 300m migrants from the countryside who work in urban areas, are often snootily called. Their families are often divided. Children and parents stay in the villages, because a fragmented social-security system makes it difficult for migrants to enjoy subsidised education and health care in the cities. Many migrants think it a good idea that some relatives remain: the stay-behinds can help retain land-use rights which might come in handy for the migrants if urban work dries up. The authorities themselves are keen for migrants to keep this backstop. But migration patterns are changing. Wang Kan of the China Institute of Industrial Relations says that, during Chunyun, trips between provinces have been declining. This is because migrants are often working closer to home, thanks to the relocation of some industries away from the coast to inland provinces where labour is cheaper. “We can see the emergence of more regional hubs,” says Mr. Wang. No longer is the Chunyun rush so concentrated in the biggest and wealthiest cities. Analysing Chunyun data is difficult. Xiaohui Liang of Renmin University says that companies have recently begun providing private long-distance coach transport for their workers. These trips do not get counted in official statistics. Other workers, he says, get counted twice if they go by train to a regional hub and from there continue by bus to their hometowns. A single worker doing this in both directions would account for four Chunyun journeys. The growth of an urban middle class further complicates the picture. Journeys made by holiday tourists, with no rural reunion in mind, are on the rise. Researchers had long felt it safe to assume that trips taken on pricey high-speed trains were made by such travellers. But according to Mr. Wang, migrant workers are increasingly opting for the speed and comfort of the more expensive trains. This, he says, suggests that the purchasing power of migrants is on the rise. Some are even heading back to their villages in newly bought cars (perhaps with paying passengers to offset some of the cost).One source of data on this years travel rush is Alibaba, an e-commerce firm which has analysed the sale of train tickets through Alitrip, its online travel business. In a new trend this year, the company says, some families are migrating in reverse for their holiday reunions. Alibaba says there has been a “tremendous increase” in the number of elderly parents travelling from their rural homes to industrial centres, such as the southern city of Guangzhou, to spend the festival with their children. That implies that some migrants are now proud enough of their new urban homes to begin showing off.Write your response on ANSWER SHEET FOUR.审题思路 本题探讨的是中国春运这一独特的现象，属于社会生活类话题。要求简要概括材料中提到的春运反映出来的问题，并发表自己的评论。在具体行文方面，考生可以开篇点题，简要概括作者关于春运的观点。然后分析春运现象背后的原因以及春运体现出的中国人的品质。最后总结全文，重述论点或者升华主题。高分范文Spring Festival Travel RushA definitely unique occurrence all over the world, Chunyun, or the Spring Festival Travel Rush can be ranked as the largest scale of annual human migration. Despite rapid urbanization, the allure to return hometown for Spring Festival, the tradition that has been cherished since ancient times, is stronger than anything else.The peasant workers contribute most to Chunyun as they work in economically vibrant cities while leaving their families behind. Moreover, journeys made by holiday tourists are increasing. However, the relocation of some industries from coastal cities to inland provinces helps ease the flow. Furthermore, the elderly parents travel from the countryside to the cities to reunite with their children. This reverse route also helps slow down the frantic Chunyun.In my opinion, fruit of urbanization though Chunyun appears to be, it embodies the familial value we have been cherishing for centuries. In spite of the higher travel costs, the expected extravagant spending on gifts and other festival items and the bumpy road back home in terms of several pratfalls in securing a train ticket, most Chinese people choose to drop any business at hand just to desperately go back home in hope of celebrating the most solemn festival with their families. The hubbub on the crowded and often suffocating coaches and trains can never quench their burning nostalgia for long-departed homes. Their pampering spending on their families mirrors a champion of love even though the money may well be earned painstakingly through travail over many furiously sleepless nights in sweatshops.In China whose social welfare epitomizes its fair coverage of every citizen, some systems such as Hukou and the soaring housing prices in cities have successfully shunned migrant workers from settling in their workplaces, thus resulting in this gushing rush. So a generously defined social welfare system might be a panacea for this swelling in travel, or Chunyun is doomed a chronic fight-or-flight issue. 押题3 如何解决人才流失的问题?题目要求How to solve the brain drain problem existing in universities in China has been a hot topic as our economy develops steadily. The following excerpt offers some opinions on this issue. Read the excerpt carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:1. summarize briefly the authors opinion;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.Every country sends out students. What makes China different is that most of these bright minds have stayed away. Only a third have come back, according to the Ministry of Education; fewer by some counts. A study this year by a scholar at Americas Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education found that 85% of those who gained their doctorate in America in 2006 were still there in 2011.To lure experts to Chinese universities, the government has launched a series of schemes since the mid-1990s. These have offered some combination of a one-off bonus of up to 1m yuan ($160 ,000), promotion, an assured salary and a housing allowance or even a free apartment. Some of the best universities have built homes for academics to rent or buy at a discount. All are promised top-notch facilities. Many campuses, which were once spartan, now have swanky buildings. The programmes have also targeted non-Chinese. A “foreign expert thousand-talent scheme”, launched in 2011, has enticed around 200 people. Spending on universities has shot up, too: six fold in 2001-2011. The results have been striking. In 2005-2012 published research articles from higher-education institutions rose by 54%; patents granted went up eightfold.But most universities still have far to go. Only two Chinese institutions number in the top 100 in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings. Shanghais Jiao Tong University includes only 32 institutions from mainland China among the worlds 500 best. The government frets about the failure of a Chinese scholar ever to win a Nobel Prize in science.Pulling some star scholars back from abroad will not be enough to turn China into an academic giant. Many of those who return do so on a part-time basis. According to David Zweig of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, nearly 75% of Chinese nationals who were lured by a “thousand-talent programme” launched in 2008 did not give up tenure elsewhere. Such schemes have often bought reputation rather than better research. They typically target full professors whose more productive, innovative years may already be behind them. (They also favour experts in science, technology and management.)Chinese universities have great difficulty fostering talent at home. The premium on foreign experience in China has created perverse incentives, says Cao Cong of Nottingham University in Britain. It sends the message to todays best and brightest that they should still spend their most productive years abroad. More than 300,000 students leave each year.Today the signs are more encouraging. Some universities are changing the way they recruit and hence finding it easier to attract staff from abroad. At Peking University departments now hire and promote using international evaluation-methods. They advertise jobs and academics apply for promotion and are rewarded according to their achievements.Write your response on ANSWER SHEET FOUR.审题思路 本题探讨的是中国大学应该如何解决人才流失的问题，属于社会生活类话题。要求简要概括所给材料中的观点，并发表自己的评论。在具体行文方面，考生可以开篇点题，简要概括材料中作者的观点。然后分析人才流失的原因并针对这一问题给出可行的解决途径。最后总结全文，重述论点或者升华主题。高分范文 How to Solve the Brain Drain Problem To solve the brain drain problem, especially those with an overseas academic experience, China has been taking many measures which range over one-off bonus, promotion, an assured salary and a housing allowance or even a free apartment to attract Chinese professors who work abroad and those foreign professors. This encouragement brings surprising results in boosting the overall academic achievements among universities. However, since Chinese universities notoriously rank low on World University Rankings, there is still a long way to go including adjusting executive measures to cater to these talents. Fine porcelain, Chinese-landscape scrolls and calligraphy adorn the office of Shi Yigong. Little about his ornamentation hints at Mr. Shis 18 years professorship at Princeton University in America as his native country started to prosper. In 2008, at the age of 41, he returned to his homeland only to become one of the most famous Chinese scholars to do so. Mr. Shis experience is an emblem of Chinese governments attempts to match its academic achievements with its economic ones. To solve the brain drain problem, inviting offers have been made to attract the talented back to China. Thes
