1）Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic My Views on Examinations. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:1、 大学都用考试来衡量学生的成绩2、 考生可能带来的副作用3、 我对考试的看法In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous. To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?2）Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic My Favorite Novel.

But perhaps the most unforgettable person I ever know is my English teacher. What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities. First and foremost, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offeran awakening of a passion for learning. He not only led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of English language and literature, but also aroused our great interest in exploring something deeper in this field. Furthermore, I was attracted by his lively wit. I remember that we students always anticipated his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke chuckles or loud laughs.Although it is nearly two years since I attended his last class, he is the talk of our old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.InternetOwing to the speedy economic development, the number of the people who use Internet has considerably increased. It is universally acknowledged that Internet playa a crucial role in modern society.Due attention has to be paid to the issue of Internet. With the reform and opening-up in recent decades, people in mounting numbers have come to realize the significance of Internet. Unfortunately, if we let this situation continue as it is, we do not know where humans will be in the forthcoming future.Accordingly, it is imperative for us to take drastic measures. To begin with, we should cultivate the authorities to make strict laws to control Internet. In addition, we should cultivate the awareness of people that Internet. In addition, we should cultivate the awareness of people that Internet is essential to us. Only in this way can we solve the problem.10）Jobs for Graduates (1) Job hunting has always been a headache for college graduates. Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not. Most serious of all, some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation. The reasons for this phenomenon are various. On the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market. On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country. I think the problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures. First, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need. Second, students attitude towards employment should be changed. They should go to some small cities and country. There they can also give full play to their professional knowledge. In a word, if we pay much attention, the problem can be solved.参 考 译 文1）在绝大多数大学里，考试都是作为衡量学生是否掌握某一课程的主要手段。虽然考试这一工作做的比较有效，但其副作用也相当大。 首先，考试造成教学水平下降。由于教师的好坏往往根据学生考试的结果来判断，所以教师被迫训练学生的应试技巧。而几乎没有什么课程是仅仅通过教授应试技巧可以教好的。其次，考试最坏的副作用是使学生养成不良的学习习惯。由于考试分数是衡量学生学习好坏的唯一标准，学生只能被迫机械的死记硬背，而不是创造性的去思考。 实际上，很少有人承认考试对学生的学习会有重要作用。如果确实如此，我们为什么不做一些改革，设计出比考试更有效、更可靠的评估方法来呢？2）我最喜爱的小说是儒勒凡尔纳写的八十天环游地球。该作者出生于法国，并且致力于文学事业，并写了很多科幻小说，使他赢得“现代科幻小说之父”的美名。 这是一本科幻小说，讲述了一位英国绅士的一个激动人心的故事。菲利弗格先生跟他的俱乐部伙伴打了个赌，并设法在八十天之内环游了地球。书中生动描述了他的旅途中发生的许多困难和故事。从这本书中，我们可以看出作者对于海洋、旅行和冒险的热爱。这些在作者一生中影响深远。作者丰富的想象力和科学地理知识也使我们惊讶并折服。3）在我生活中我遇到过很多值得回忆的人，但在我认识的人中让我最难忘的人可能要算我的英语老师了。 让我常常回想起他的是他那些特殊的品质。首先，他教给我们学生一位老师所能给予的最珍贵的东西，即唤起我们学习的激情。他不仅培养我们欣赏英语语言文学的美丽与完美，而且激起我们在这方面深入研究的兴趣。其次，他的才智深深吸引了我。我现在还记得我们学生总渴望上他的课，因为他讲课生动幽默，总能引起我们微笑或哄堂大笑。 虽然我们没听他的课已近两年了，但我们聚在一起时总要谈起他。我知道他的形象已深深留在我心中了。9）由于社会的迅速发展，使用互联网的人数已经急剧上升。普遍公认互联网在现代社会中发挥重要作用。我们应该对互联网的问题给予充分重视。随着近年来的改革开放政策，越来越多的人开始认识到互联网的重要性。如果我们让这种情况听之任之的话，我们不知道在不远的将来人类的未来会在哪。因此，我们急需采取严厉措施，首先，我们应该呼吁我们的政府制定严格的法律来控制互联网。另外，我们应该提高人们的意识：互联网对我们很重要。只有这样我们才能解决这个问题。10）找工作对于大学生来说是一个头疼的问题，虽然很多人在毕业之后立即找到了工作但是有些却没有找到工作。更严重的是，即使毕业了很长一段时间，有些人还是不知道去哪儿工作。有很多原因来解释这种现象，一方面，几年前大学采取了很多热门专业的学生，比如经济、金融等，这类毕业生的人数大大超过了市场的需求：另一方面，大多数毕业生如果没有找到合适的工作宁愿呆在大城市里，也不愿去农村工作。我觉的只要校方和学生都采取一定的措施，这个问题是能够解决的。首先，大城市应对市场进行调查并发展学生的特殊技能来满足市场的需求。其次，学生就业的观念应该有所转变。他们应该去小城市或农村就业，在那儿，他们也能够充分发挥所学的专业知识。一句话，如果我们引起足够的重视，这个问题是能够得到解决的。一、 万能句型：（一） 第一段：1、 现状说明： 1. ., most/many people believe that ., but other people2.
