Though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we cites the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly mutilated each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a mans very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year olds and utterly selfish.The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate.Sample 2 Title: Parents Are Too Permissive With Their Children Nowadays Word Limit: no less than 120 words Outline: Your composition should be based on the Outline given in Chinese below: 1. 孩子成为家庭的中心，父母日渐失去应有的权威。 2. 父母对孩子的溺爱和忽视导致青少年犯罪。 3. 孩子的生活过于安逸对他们日后的成长不利。 例文： Parents Are Too Permissive With Their Children NowadaysThere are countless articles on child care in magazines and newspapers. With so much unsolicited advice flying about, mum and dad just dont know what to do any more. In the end, they do nothing at all. So, from early childhood, the kids are in charge and parents lives are regulated according to the needs of their offspring. When the little dears develop into teenagers, they take complete control. Lax authority over the years makes adolescent rebellion against parents all the more violent. If the young people are going to have a party, for instance, parents are asked to leave the house. Their presence merely spoils the fun. What else can the poor parents do but obey?Children are hardy creatures and most of them survive the harmful influence of extreme permissiveness which is the normal condition in the modern household. But a great many do not. The spread of juvenile delinquency in our own age is largely due to parental laxity. Mother, believing that little Johnny can look after himself, is not at home when he returns from school, so little Johnny roams the streets. The dividing-line between permissiveness and sheer negligence is very fine indeed.The psychologists have much to answer for. They should keep their mouths shut and let parents get on with the job. And if children are knocked about a little bit in the process, it may not really matter too much. At least this will help them to develop vigorous views of their own and give them something positive to react against. Perhaps theres some truth in the idea that children whove had a surfeit of happiness in their childhood emerge like stodgy puddings and fail to make a success of life.Sample 3 Title: People Should Be Rewarded According to Ability, or to Age and Experience Word Limit:no less than 120 words Outline:Your composition should be based on the Outline given in Chinese below: 1. 年轻人进入社会要对论资排辈的现实。 2. 社会上种种要素阻碍年轻人发展。 3. 雇主应该正确看待一个人的能力，按其能力付给报酬。 例文：People Should Be Rewarded According to Ability, or to Age and ExperienceYoung men and women join the hierarchy and take their place in the queue. They go to the very end of the queue and stay there no matter how brilliant they are. What they know is much less important than whom they know and how old they are. What they know is much less important than whom they know and how old they are. If they are able, their abilities will be acknowledged and rewarded in due course - that is, after twenty or thirty years have passed.There seems to be a gigantic conspiracy against young people. While on the one hand society provides them with better educational facilities, on the other it does its best to exclude them from the jobs that really matter. There are exceptions, of course. Some young people do manage to break through the barrier despite the restriction, but the great majority have to wait patiently for years before they can really give full rein to their abilities. This means that, in most fields, the views of young people are never heard because there is no one to represent them. President Kennedy was one of the notable exceptions. One of the most tragic aspects of his assassination is that mankind was deprived of a youthful leader.Resentment is the cause of a great deal of bitterness. The young resent the old because they feel deprived of the good things life has to offer. The old resent the young because they are afraid of losing what they have. A man of fifty or so might say, Why should a young rascal straight out of school out of school earn more than I do? But if the young rascal is more able, more determined, harder-working than his middle-aged critic, why shouldnt he? Employers should recognize ability and reward it justly. This would remove one of the biggest causes of friction between old and young and ultimately it would lead to a better society.Sample 4Directions:A. Write an essay of no less than 120 words. B. Your essay should be based on the outline below: 1. 主题句：人们对大学合并持有不同的态度; 2. 发展句： a. 一些人认为大学合并是建设世界一流大学的重要举措。 b. 另一些人认为大学合并有一些潜在的问题，如管理问题。 3. 结论句：大学合并利大于弊，但应考虑带来的问题。 例文： University MergerUniversity merger, a hot topic both on and off campus, has received much public attention. Peoples attitudes towards it vary greatly.Some people favor it as an important step that universities take towards the goal of first-rate world universities. They argue that, only through mergers can universities give full play to their own advantages and make up for their disadvantages. Take the merger between Tsinghua University and the Institute of Applied Arts as an example. The formers strengths in the field of high technology complement the latters reputation for art. They also point out that university mergers will increase the competitive power of Chinese universities in the world. In spite of these arguments, there are those who see it as a hasty decision which has some potential problems. They claim, for instance, located far away from each other, the universities involved in a merger are usually faced with the tough problem of management.In my opinion, university merger has more advantages than disadvantages, but universities should take into account the potential dangers resulting from mergers.Sample 5Directions: Study the following set of cartoons (l略) carefully and write an essay in which you should 1) describe the cartoons, 2) interpret its meaning, and 3) point out its implications in our life. You should write no less than 120 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points) 范文： Beauty is not Skin-deep美丽不是表面的In the above cartoons, a young woman happily eats bananas and casually discards the peels on the street, unaware of the fact that such actions not only pollute the environment but also pose a danger to others. In the next illustration a disabled man struggles to properly dispose of the trash she has left behind. Despite the girls youth and beauty, it is the disabled man who is truly beautiful. True beauty comes from ones actions rather than ones appearance. While most of us enjoy pretty appearances, it is more important to cultivate a clean and beautiful soul. Only such souls can create a genuinely beautiful society. The Chinese people traditionally uphold the virtues of modesty, generosity, broadmindedness, and politeness. Confucian teachings such as: “do not do to others as you would not want done to you” and “one should be delighted to hear criticism,” are wise and worthwhile. If people embody these teachings our society can only improve and progress. The thoughts of great minds like Confucius are also worth studying. His writings set fine and noble examples for us to follow. Another proverb thus comes to mind: in the company of three one always can find a teacher. We should always be willing and able to learn from those around us. 译文： 在上面的漫画里，一个年轻女子愉快地吃着香蕉，然后随手就把香蕉皮扔到了街上丝毫没顾及到这样的举动不仅会污染环境，还会给他人带来危险。而在接下来的那幅图中，一位残疾人艰难地把她扔下的垃圾清理掉了。虽然这个女孩年轻貌美，但真正美的是那位残疾人。真正的美是出自行动而不是外表。 虽然我们每个人都喜欢漂亮的外貌，但更重要的是培养纯净、美丽的心灵，只有这样的心灵才能创造出真正美好的社会。 中国自古推崇谦逊、宽宏、心胸开阔和以礼待人的美德。孔夫子的教导：“己所不欲，勿施于人”、“闻过则喜”是明智的并值得我们遵循。如果人们把这些箴言都落实到生活中，那么我们的社会就会得到改善和进步。 大思想家孔子的思想是值得我们学习的。他的著述给我们留下了杰出、高尚的楷模让我们效仿。另一句谚语又浮现在我的脑海里：“三人行，必有我师”。我们必须随时愿意和能够向周围的人们学习。Sample 6KnowledgeandDiploma(FakeDiploma)(1)目前，在社会上有这样的一种说法，文凭越高越吃香； (2) 而有些人则认为文凭不等于知识； (3) 你的观点。 参考范文 With the development of the society, more and more people enroll in the postgraduate examination for getting a high diploma. It is believed that high diploma equals high ability and profound knowledge. Most companies are inclined to hire applicants with high diploma. It seems that having high diploma means a better future. However, is it really true that high diploma equals high ability or profound knowledge? Some people do not agree on this idea. They claim that ability or knowledge means more than diploma. Take Bill Gates, the head of the Microsoft, for example, he does not have an MBA degree, not even a bachelors degree which is believed to play a vital role in the success in commercial life. Furthermore, Sam Walton of Wal-Mart does not have an MBA degree either, but they are the most successful men in business.In my opinion, diploma does not necessarily mean knowledge. A diploma is a piece of paper which certifies your education degree, but your true ability and the real knowledge come from your hard work and endowment. If you got a diploma dishonestly, no matter how high a diploma it is, it would just be a piece of paper, and you would be as blank as that piece of paper.Sample 7如何看待宠物热1. 有些人喜欢养动物作为宠物。 2. 有些人反对圈养动物作为宠物。 3. 你的观点。 参考范文 Nowadays, with the improvement of the peoples living standard, some people form a habit of raising small or domestic animals as pets. Some raise small dogs or cats as their pets while others raise various birds or fishes as their pets. There are still even some people raising snakes and other unusual animals as their pets. Does anyone have the same opinion of raising animals as pets? No, some people object to the idea of raising animals as pets. To them, animals have their own right to live a natural life like human beings. On the other hand, the way people raise animals as pets have a negative influence on the surroundings such as dogs barking at midnight, dogs chasing people on the street and so on. Whats more, some animals will transmit some diseases. In my opinion, i do not like the idea to raise animals as pets. Animals have their own right to lead a life as they like. We should not deprive them of their natural right. In this way, we will live in a peaceful world in harmony with the other living creatures.Sample 8Directions: Title: Unemployment Word Limit: no less than 120 words Outline: Your composition should be based on the Outline given in Chinese below: 1. 下岗被视为目前中国面临的头号问题。 2. 政府已对这一问题展开了攻势。 a. 建立了下岗基金以帮助下岗职工维持生活。 b. 下岗职工接受职业培训，从而使他们求职时具有一技之长。 c. 为下岗职工提供心理咨询。 3. 随着政府和社会的共同努力，我们相信一定能解决下岗问题。 范文： Unemployment Unemployment is viewed as the number one problem in China now and the government has launched a major attack on the problem.The steps the government has taken to deal with unemployment are as follows. Firstly, unemployment fund has been established to help the unemployed workers to support themselves. Secondly, the unemployed receive vocational training, which is expected to pay off in the short term and give the unemployed an advantage in the job market. It is due to the lack of professional skills that these workers have lagged behind in the society. These training programs aim to equip the workers with some special skills, such as typing, sewing, and cooking. Finally, psychological advice is also available, since unemployment, apart from exerting financial pressures, brings enormous psychological discomfort. With the advice, the unemployed will learn how to adapt to the fierce competition in the technological age.With the joint efforts of the government and the society, we are optimistic that we can win the current war on unemployment.Sample 9Directions:A. Write an essay that conveys the information in the following cartoons (略) accompanied by your comments. B. Word Limit: no less than 120 words C. Your essay should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2 营 生 祖上以打猎为生(Cartoon 1) 爷爷以卖上等木材为生 (Cartoon 2)父亲以卖劈柴和柴墩为生 (Cartoon 3)儿子以卖根雕原料为生 (Cartoon 4)孙子以卖黄沙为生 (Cartoon 5)例文：Preserving Natural ResourcesThrough the changes in the ways of making a living in a family over several genrations, the cartoon aims at sounding a warning against mans wasteful use of natural resources and emphasizing the urgent need to preserve these resources.Ever since man appeared on the earth, mans survival has been heavily relied on nature. Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from nature, ranging from the food we eat, the water we drink, to the wood which is turned into furniture. With the development of technology and population growth, the amount and range of materials used has increased at an alarming rate. However, natural resources are not inexhaustible. Some reserves are already on the brink of exhaustion and there is no hope of replacing them. The widespread water shortage is an example in point. If man continued to squander natural resources with no thought for the future, the later generations would end up selling sand, as is the case in the cartoon, and the whole world would be in a mess.Time is running out. It is up to us to take effective measures before the situation gets out of hand.Sample 10 A Letter （应用文）Directions:A. Write a letter to your local English-language newspaper giving your view on a discussion that has arisen as a result of an article they published entitled Why Do We Need English?B. Your letter must be written of about 200 words, excluding the addresses, etc. 例文：No.47, Haidian RoadHaidian District, Beijing, 100086August 18,1999The Editor, Local English DailyWuhua Building, Beijing, 100781Dear Sir,I have been following with great interest the discussion inspired by Mr. Wang Lis article Why Do We Need English? published in the Local English Daily of 20th May, 1999.The one aspect of the English language that most of your correspondents seem to be unaware of is its widespread use as the international language of diplomacy, commerce and technology. It is the language of the United Nations and its agencies as well as of many other international bodies. We would be foolish to confine our vision to our national borders only. We are still, after all, dependent on other countries for technical and industrial assistance. How can we hope to be economically and technologically independent if we are not able to communicate in these areas outside our own country?English must be taught in all our schools, not only for the above reasons but also so that our students can go abroad to learn the techniques our nation so urgently needs. We also need representatives who can command respect at the international conference tables of the world. And if English is the common language of communications for world diplomacy, economics and defense, then let us be as fluent and proficient in it as possible, for the sake of our own countrys advancement and prestige.Sample 11 (人生处处是考场)Bravely Face Up To ChallengesThroughout our life-time, we are always confronted with lots of challenges as well as difficulties. To each test, we should devote our enthusiasm, discretion and energy；Otherwise, we would absolutely become good-for-nothings. If we put an examination room into perspective，we would learn a meaning and rewarding life.In an examination，when we do multiple choice questions, we have to make the choice between evil and good, between power and character, and between bias and justice. We must correct our wrong answers to difficult questions and similarly, we should learn to put our behaviors in right directions. And most important of all, we should abide by laws and regulations just as we must obey laws in an exam room. Unless we act discretely and conscientiously in the face of challenges, great consequences will inevitably follow.Anyway, we are put into an exam room and the moment, when we came into the world, we are given a test paper, each page of which should be completed if we want to find the true.S
