6. The most important thing you want to change about your hometownIf you could change one important thing about your hometown, what would you change? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.分析改变其环境，因为一个好的环境会使人们更加快乐更加健康更加有效率相关题目：52、141、165都可以选择改变其环境。这些题目实际上可以用一篇文章应对。 范文I was born in a small town named Hailin, located in the North-East of China. The most serious problems in my hometown are the backward ideas about a womans place in the family, school, workplace, and society. These negative stereotypesstiriutaip陈腔滥调 hurt not only women, but all of society as well. If possible, I would change the attitudes of the people in my hometown so they would view men and women equally.Discrimination歧视against women in my hometown begins before they are even born. Because people here believe that only a man can carry on the family line, every family wants to have at least one son. Each family is only supposed to have one child because of the overpopulation problem. This means that if a family can find out a fetus fi:ts胎儿 is female before it is born they might abort it. Or in other cases, people will have many female babies before they have a son, which only makes the population problem worse. If female babies were considered as important as male babies, then these two problems probably would not exist.Discrimination against girls continues as they go to school and work. The prevalent普遍的stereotype is that women are not as smart as men and we shouldnt waste time and money educating them. Families often insist that their daughters stay at home and help with housework while sending their sons to school. Girls are born every bit as smart as boys and equally deserve to reap the benefits of education. Many of the worlds famous scientists and leaders are women, from Marie Curie to Margaret Thatcher. We need to eliminate ilimineit剔除 the stereotype that women are less intelligent than men so that our community can benefit from the achievements that women are capable of making when armed with education.In fact, women need to be respected enough to hold professional and leadership jobs in our community. This would mean that in the classified section of newspapers, there would no longer be jobs for men only. We will never know how many women could have done those jobs better than a man could have until the parents of every baby girl decide that their daughter is worth as much as their son. This is probably the most important thing that I want to change about my hometown.7. The influence of movies or television on peoples behaviorHow do movies or television influence peoples behavior? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.分析电影、电视等大众传媒(mass media)往往可以对人们的行为产生影响通过改变人们的价值观、世界观、审美观而改变人们行为通过制造“社会热点”而使大众不停地讨论一件事情通过满足人们的幻想，或使人们处于平衡状态，或使人们一定程度上失衡 范文The impact that movies or television has had on our daily life, and society in general, is undeniable不可否认的. No doubt it will become even greater as the scope of which continues to grow, and as the relevant technologies become more and more sophisticatedsfistikeit 篡改, 曲解and so fascinatingfsineiti令人入迷的that virtually nobody will be able to escape. Already, it can be seen how western movies are exercising influence on施加影响our youth generation: they grow long-hair regardless of their gender性别, commonly part of which is dyed染色in gold; they wear jeans in each and every season, usually the knees of which are deliberately tattered使破烂; boys are fond of earrings or other odd古怪的pendants垂饰; and girls are keen on热衷于 Marlboros and weird怪异的bad words.The major means that movies and television influence the public is by creating topics of discussion in the society. Movies offer people (the consumers) issues争论点（发行物，后果, 问题，发行; 造成.结果） to talk and think about. Titanic had brought a worldwide uproar骚动by its extolling kstl吹捧of fascinatingfsn,et迷人的immortalim:tl 不朽的 love; Prime Color and Wag the Dog met the national debate dibeit 辩论on right and duty of the president of the United States. Antiwar movies such as Tears of the Sun and All Quiet on the Western Front among numerous为数众多的others have been raising the question that is any war really to uphold支撑justice or is it really worthy that an individual makes sacrifices牺牲,供俸to his country and at the same time ignores his own family or his personal values?Television also shapes our understanding of what is important and what is not important (to know). The important issues are being discussed over and over or in the beginning of a program. The not important stories are the ones that are not being told at all. The not very important stories are probably very short and hidden in the last part. By prearranging public issue, movies and television make decisions for us. Even though there are critical批评的,决定性的,危险的,挑剔的thinking individuals in any society, they are definitely肯定地in minority; the public in whole indeed lack skills of critical thinking, and therefore they are often led by the movies and television.In brief, movies and television, by offering topics and affecting the ways in which we discuss the important issues, has a strong influence on our perception感知of the truth, of the world or of the structure结构of our society. We have to admit that it has a role in our lives as a source of information, experiences, entertainment, amusement and relaxation.8. Has television destroyed communication among people?Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.分析不能同意这个观点。一方面人们看电视的时间越来越多；另外一方面人与人之间的关系越来越冷漠。但是这两个现象并不是完全、直接的因果关系。造成人们关系冷漠的原因很多，比如，来自方方面面的压力：工作、生活。 范文While television has been somewhat稍微, 有些harmful in its effects, it has hardly destroyed communication among friends and family, although for some people, the assertion s:n 断言,主张that television has destroyed communication among friends and family seems pretty plausible. pl:zbl说得蛮像回事的Television, invented in last century, with its wide availabilityn. 有效, increasingly prosperous繁荣的programs, becomes one of the most powerful means of communication in the history, and is more and more difficult to ignore. Television is as much a part of our lives as are our meals, work, or school; studies consistently一贯地show that the average American child spends almost as much time watching television as does he or she in school. We all have only 24 hours a day and it is clear that the more time one spends on watching television, the less time one does with his or her family and friends. Hence今后,从此,因此the passage printed in the newspaper or magazine titled Television took my husband away.Tempting诱惑,引起,冒.之险 as such claim主张might be, it is hardly true. Instead of television, it is the increasing pressure of modern life that took her husband away. We have no definite明确的evidence to say people nowadays endure v. indju 耐久,忍耐more pressures than did their counterpartskauntp:t相似之物 in the past, but it is absolutely true that people nowadays undergo great pressures that come from various directions, including work, school, economy, and so forth. Investigationsn.调查 show that people who earn more than RMB 50, 000 annually spend at least 60 hours on work per week, much more than those who earn RMB 20,000 annually. Today a bachelorsbtl单身汉,学士degree may no longer guarantee a decentdi:snt得体的,相当好的pay, more and more companies post their want ads claiming that applicants must have at least masters硕士degrees, which take two or three years longer.People nowadays have very little time for anything; television is merely只不过among many other factors that affect communication, and is definitely not the main cause of degradationdegrdein 堕落,退化. It seems that the more one is educated, the more one is aware of the deleterious delitiris 有毒的effects that excessive iksesiv过多的 television causes, and either deliberately avoid it or actually do not enjoy it. On the other hand, there really are many people addictive上瘾的to television. But the fact is, were television not existent, surely these people would have found other escapes, such as alcohol or gamblinggmbl赌博 for example. In other words, people always find a way to do what they want to do. Therefore, I can hardly agree that television has destroyed communication among friends and family.9. Live in a small town or in a big city?Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.分析生活在大城市的优缺点：信息发达，工作机会多，生活设施完善；人情淡薄生活在小城市的优缺点：温馨，安静，空气好；人们相互了解、友善；信息闭塞；没有好工作陈述自己的偏好(可以采取it depends的策略，不同的阶段有不同的偏好) 相关题目：20范文People seldom agree with each other even in such trivialtrivil 琐碎的issues as preference between a big city and a small town. Its a little bit haste匆忙to say that it is better to live in a big city than in a small town, or vice versa.Living in a big city has several benefits. First, therere more job opportunities readily available in big cities than in a small town. Moreover, not merely are there more job positions in big cities and the qualities of the position are much higher as well. In addition, the pay is more decent. Second, children are supposed to be able to receive an education with a higher quality compared with their counterparts who live in a small town. For families, childrens education is always put in the first place. Finally, living in a big city usually has a superiorsju:piri上好的living standard to that in a small town. There are more commodities日用品 and services in city markets; there are more public utilitiesju:tiliti公共设施 available in big cities; there are even much more television channels in big cities.However, living in a small town also has some advantages. People who live in a small town often have a much comfortable life style. Most of them do not have to suffer high working stress. Although the average pay is much less than that of big cities, the price of daily necessities, such as vegetables or meat, is usually less expensive. Instead of suffering loneliness which is prevalentprevlnt普遍的 in big cities, children might grow up more healthily because of harmonioush:munjs和谐的relationship among residents in small town. People in a small town do not have to get up so early in the morning because there has been no traffic jam, and nobody drive so fast in a small town as to cause car accidents. They might have fewer channels in television, but they have more friends readily available to chat or entertain with.According to my current situation, although I am longing for the cozy kuzi 舒适的atmosphere and relationship among neighbors and friends which almost only exist in small cities, I have chosen to live in one of the biggest cities in my countryBeijing, since I have found a pretty good job here, and a decent pay. I think I would prefer living in a small town when I get retired退休one day.10. Does luck have anything to do with success?“When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success.” Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position.分析nothing是一个绝对词，所以，不能完全同意也不能完全不同意。选择“很大程度上同意”。指出luck确实存在指出可能导致人们成功的若干原因：诚实、睿智、幽默；执著；肯于做不喜欢的事情27；相关题目：27、63范文Here is a true story, a story about an African man called Cinque who slew杀死a most terrifying beast野兽that any one has ever seen, a lion. His siblings兄弟姐妹，民族成员 in the village who know about this anecdote轶事gave him great respect and call him the big man.However, he told the truth later.It had killed several people, even hunters among us. Everyone including me was afraid.I was lying down with my family, when out of nowhere it appeared.As it came for me, I picked up a big rock and I threw it. And that wasnt bravery, because any man would do the same to protect his family.But by some miraclemirkl奇迹, you see, I hit it. I dont know how that killed it, but it did. A rock, you see, a rock.I received the gratitude of everyone in the village. I was given respect. They treated me as if I was a prince. They gave me the finest country cloth. All these things they gave me, I took them all. But I knew I didnt deserve应该得到it, for when I threw that rock at that beast, if I missed it, I wouldnt be sitting here today trying to explain these things to you or somebody else, Id just be dead. Im not a big man, just a lucky one.You see, luck does exist. When it appears, mathematicians describe in such a way that something has an extremely small probability but it does happen. People often say, one has to have an opportunity to succeed. In this case, luck is the opportunity, and to some extent is an indispensable不可缺少的factor to achieve success.When people say luck has nothing to do with success, I wonder it is not their intention to deny否定existence of luck, but to encourage. Because luck in fact is a factor that one can not and should not count on依靠, 指望, even though we know people who have succeeded have their own luck. It is somewhere, but nobody knows where. It happens sometime, but we dont know when. By contrast对比, hard work is something that everyone can count on, and as is often the case, hard work might bring luck. Therefore, luck itself is of no hope, and lack of luck should not be an excuse to failure.11. Should universities finance students sports activities equally as libraries?Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Universities should give the same amount of money to their students sports activities as they give to their university libraries. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.分析不能完全同意。same是一件做不到的事情。普通大学，应该或更多的钱在图书馆上体育专科大学，当然应该花更多的钱在体育设施上资金分配的重要原则：产出应该大于投入大学的办学原则：要better brains；也要better bodies.相关题目：Related Topics: 147. Some relevant issues about public investments: 1) investment vs. profit; 2) immediate needs vs. long-term benefits; 3) profit-making organization vs. nonprofit-making organization. Topics about money allocation: 11. 19. 56. 95. 100. 167*) personal attitudes of money: 32. 33. 48. 53. 131. 173. 177. 185.资金分配问题：资金的有效运用(efficiency of money allocation)的重要体现是投入产出比(input-output ratio)。即便是nonprofit-making organization也要保证资金的投入产出的平衡(balance of input and output)。范文The main responsibility of a university is to develop a students academic学术性的ability. While physical health is an important prerequisitepri:rekwizit先决条件for mental health and academic achievement, sports should play a comparatively相当地small role in college students lives.Since a students main activity outside of the classroom is studying, occupying占from four to eight hours of their day, a peaceful studying environment plays an important role in a students academic development. College dorm rooms can have up to最多eight students sleeping in one small room and are not good environments for students to study in. To provide excellent studying environments for their students, universities must build large libraries designed to accommodate students as well as books. Since sports should occupy a much smaller part of the students time, perhaps only an hour a day, sports facilities设备need not be as extensive广泛的or well-equipped as libraries.In addition to the costs of building adequate library faculties, a university must also pay every year to keep its collection well organized and up-to-date. The goal of every university library should be to have the most current当前的books and materials，its students need in order to study and do cutting edge research. The larger the student body, the more comprehensive全面的a librarys collection must be. A well-trained staff must also care for the materials and help the students. Continuing costs for sports, on the other hand, are relatively low, requiring only a few part-time staff and maintenancemeintinns维护routinesru:ti:n日常事务. For the most part, students are happy to organize their own sporting events and exercise routines quite independently of the school.Although a students health is critical to their academic success, the investment投资that a school needs to make to ensure保证a physically fit student body is relatively small. Considering that the main mission of the school is to develop a students mind and not their body, the school should put more of its resources into its libraries and not its sports activities.12. Why people visit museums?Many people visit museums when they travel to new places. Why do you think people visit museums? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.分析个人偏好，或者习惯，比如喜爱历史。可以短时间内了解一个地方的历史、文化。85提提供了一个线索：因为他只有一天的时间！可以看到珍贵的艺术、文化、历史、科学等收藏。著名的博物馆周边，由于游客众多，一般也会有很多其他值得参观的地方，也会有很好吃的餐馆。另外，也有些人去博物馆，没有什么特别的理由。别人都去，于是他也去了1、42 。范文People travel to new places for many different reasons. One of the most common reasons is to see a new place, culture, or way of life. For a total outsider with only a short amount of time, museums offer a glimpse一瞥into these ways of life through specially designed education, cultural insights见识, and entertainment.People come to museums to learn about the world. The educational experience in a museum is quite different than that of reading or studying. In a museum, learning experiences are direct and thrilling. Reading books about primitive history might seem boring, but seeing the huge skeletonskelitn骨架of a terrifying dinosaur in person is a thrilling experience. Reading history books about the Nanjing Massacre are horrifying令人震惊的, sad, and yet abstract, but a trip to the Memorial Museum in Nanjing is an experience that has moved many students to tears. Museums can make otherwise别的方式distant and mundanemndein现世的,世俗的educational experiences come to life.The museums of a place tell an outsider旁观者much about what the
