1.The Digital Age（2007年12月六级真题）题目见书：P71There is no denying the fact that we have entered a digital age, with digital products used increasingly widely in peoples life, work and study. Taking a look around, we can find examples too numerous to list. The most striking ones might be digital cameras, digital videos and digital television.It goes without saying that these products have benefited us substantially. With digital cameras, we can take almost as many photos as we like, as long as we have access to a computer to store them. Besides, we can delete those pictures we dislike without worrying about waste of film. Again, with digital television, we can enjoy more channels and scenes of higher quality than provided by conventional ones.However, just as every coin has two sides, these digital products may also exert a negative influence on us. For instance, many students indulge themselves in online games and performed badly in their study; others plagiarize by copying articles on the Internet.Therefore, digital products should be viewed as two-edged swords, which present us with both conveniences and troubles. But we should not give up eating for fear of choking. The best policy, as I see it, is to further develop these products and make a more sensible use of them.2. The Celebration of Western Festivals（2006年12月老题型真题）题目见书：P71No one can have failed to notice the fact that an increasing number of Chinese are fond of celebrating some Western festivals today. For instance, on Valentines Day, many people give flowers or chocolate to the one they love. Another case in point is Christmas. It seems that people around the country now love to celebrate the festival. A number of factors account for the phenomenon mentioned above, but the following might be the critical ones. In the first place, due to the policy of reform and opening-up, Chinese people tend to know more about Western culture and be influenced by it. Secondly, some businessmen wish to make money by encouraging people to celebrate those Western festivals. Last but not least, as traditional Chinese festival lose their attraction, many people tend to find joy in Western festivals. Though we need not criticize people celebrating Western festivals, nor can we stop them, we have to beware of the danger behind it. While enjoying the atmosphere brought by those Western customs, we might well lose our own tradition and identity. 3. The Importance of Reading Classics（2006年12月新题型真题）题目见书：P71Reading classics plays a vital role in a persons growth. By reading classic works, either Chinese or foreign, one can learn a great deal about history, geography, politics, wars and customs. Besides, as these classics are the outstanding representatives of human language, reading them can enormously improve our ability to read and write and to inherit cultural traditions. However, a diminishing number of people would like to read classics now. A variety of factors may have contributed to this phenomenon, but the following are the critical one. In the first place, as the pace of life and work quickens, people can find little time to indulge themselves in thick and serious works. They would rather read light and easy magazines or surf the Internet and do online reading. In the second place, most classics depict things far away from our real life, which makes reading them seem irrelevant. As college students, we should shoulder the burden of inheriting and developing cultural heritage. Therefore, it is essential that we should make plans to read classics regularly. Besides, we should try to influence people around us into reading them. 4. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Keeping Pets. You should write at least 150 words, and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:1. 有些人赞成养宠物。2. 另一些人反对养宠物。3. 我的看法 Keeping PetsThere is no denying the fact that keeping pets has been a hotly debated topic in China. Peoples opinions differ sharply on this issue. Some hold the positive view. They say that pets like cats, dogs and birds can reduce, to some extent, loneliness for both adults and children, especially for the old, the single, housewives and the disabled. Without pets, these peoples life would become dull and cheerless.Others, however, hold the opposite view. They maintain that keeping pets should be banned. They point out that pets are responsible for noises, which disturb peoples rest, and for injuries suffered both by the people who keep them and by innocent neighbors. They also argue that keeping pets is a waste of money and resources.Personally, I believe that we should not go to extremes. On the one hand, we should allow people to keep pets; on the other hand, we should take measures to solve the problems caused by pets. This can be done by banning pets from public places. In addition, large and dangerous pets should be restricted to special areas.或Weighing the arguments of both sides, I am inclined to agree with the latter. Anyway, we can lessen our loneliness and express our love toward animals in other ways. And it is my belief that only by placing man and other species on an equal basis can we expect to have a lively and colorful world. 5. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Studying Abroad: Hardships and Rewards. You should write at least 150 words, and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:1. 出国留学有很多好处。2. 出国留学也有很多困难。3. 我的选择。Studying Abroad: Hardships and RewardsThe recent years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of Chinese studying abroad. Obviously, studying abroad has its rewards. In the first place, a student can have access to advanced science and technology as well as desirable working conditions which might not be available at home. In the second place, he can be exposed to entirely new ideas and trends. Last but not least, by living and studying in a foreign country, one can improve his foreign language much faster than at home.However, just as every coin has two sides, studying abroad may also confront one with a series of hardships. For one thing, learning a foreign language is far from an easy thing at the beginning for most people. For another, a completely new environment with different customs and habits may also be a barrier to overseas students, especially to the young. An added difficulty lies with finance: it can cost a lot to study abroad. From my point of view, the advantages of studying abroad outweigh its disadvantages. But it is a big decision to go abroad to study and one should take into consideration his financial conditions and his ability to adapt to new surrounding. Personally, I choose to go abroad and study if I find it necessary. 6. Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a short essay entitled More Students Pursue Master Degrees. You should write at least 150 words based on the chart and the outline given below:Number of students in College X attending graduate entrance examsMore Students Pursue Master DegreesIt can be seen from the chart that there have been sharp increases in the number of students attending graduate entrance exams in a college in the past decades. As the chart shows, the year 1995 witnessed only 200 students taking part in the exams. In 2001, the number nearly doubled. In 2007, far more students prepared themselves for graduate studies. A number of factors could account for the change in the chart, but the following are the most critical ones. First, thanks to the policy of reform and opening-up, the nations economy has been developing at a considerably high speed in the past decades. Therefore, the people have more extra money for education. Secondly, other relevant state policies and the boom of higher education provide students with more opportunities to pursue higher degrees. Last but not least, the increasingly fierce competition forces college students to further their study in order to gain more edge of competition. In a word, this chart is a perfect indicator of Chinas fast expanding higher education. Although many problems have arisen in the process, we have every reason to believe that they can be solved in the near future with effective measures taken. 7. （投诉信）Directions: Write a letter of complaint according to the following situation: You bought an air conditioner in Sun Appliance and had it installed the other day, but you found that the fan made too much noise when the machine operated.

Frankly speaking, Sun Appliance has always been my favorite. On April 4, 2009, I bought the air conditioner (serial number 12345) from one of your chain store located in Lang Fang. The machine operated well at first, but ten days later, there was a fault that bothered me, that is, the fan made so much noise that I could not sleep well at night.
