below 1 有些人认为考试分数是能力的体现 2 有些人认为分数高并不一定能力就强 3 我的看法 Grades and Ability Some people consider that grades can reflect students ability in their academic pursuit In their eyes the higher the grades the smarter the students must be In the competition for top position in a class or school it is hard to be a winner but easy to be a loser Therefore students with high grades are admired and respected Others think that high grades don t necessary mean superior ability The so called top students sometimes are very slow in solving practical problems such as fixing a bicycle or install an appliance So they are often called bookworms In my opinion grades are really important for us students because admission to good colleges and universities for further study and successful application for nice jobs depend on good grades The school admission officers and potential employers use grades to assess students abilities But grades are not the sole criterion for stunts abilities Academic advancement should be combined with excellent manifestation in practicality In short both the mind and the hands should be developed at the same time so that we not only know how to do the job but also can do it with our own hands Test 2 Part Writing 30 minutes Directions For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled How to Keep Psychologically Healthy You should write at least 120

a Low Carbon Life Since the Copenhagen Climate Conference living a low carbon life has been a hot topic Living a low carbon life is virtually of great significance to the protection of our environment because it can help reduce our environment pollution and slow down global warming Living a low carbon life means energy saving and pollutants reduction mainly carbon dioxide It is the responsibility of both the government and the public Of course the government should carry out a low carbon economy policy by promoting the use of clean energy and renewable energy such as solar energy wind energy water energy encouraging the planting of more tress because trees can take in CO2 and the recycling and reusing waste to lighten the burden of eco system For the general public living a low carbon life means energy saving water saving gas saving and green travel and so on Every small deed counts in our efforts to protect our earth As college students we should spare no effort to enhance the consciousness of the public to live a low carbon life Besides we can and should do many other things For example we can send e greeting cards instead of traditional paper cards we should save electricity as well as water by using energy saving lamps turning out the lights the moment we leave and turning off the tap in time we can make good use of every piece of paper and use more second hand textbooks we should use environmentally friendly bags instead of plastic ones while shopping we should less often use air conditioners both at home and in college we should advocate more car free

least 120 words following the outline given below 3 1 有人认为让孩子上培训班是为了对孩子进行素质教育 以适应充满激烈竞争的未来社会 2 有人认为让孩子上培训班加重了孩子的身心负担 不宜提倡 3 谈谈你的观点 My View on Training Courses for Children In present China especially in cities most of the younger parents would like to send their children to various kinds of training courses to learn painting dancing piano playing calligraphy etc These parents hold the view that they are cultivating their children in a well rounded way They believe that the future society is bound to be more competitive and only those gifted in many ways can fit into it Some other parents however do not think so They are against their children taking part in such courses They think childhood is a period of freedom from any care The various training courses are nothing but a burden for children Adults shouldn t place additional burden on them otherwise their physical and mental development will be hindered I am inclined to the former view because I know that young couples in China today each have only one child They can afford the time and money to train their child in various aspects and most of them want their child to be a talented person able to establish himself in his future career But I think those young parents should remember two points don t force their child to do what he or she has no interest in and don t let their child eat too much that he or she is not able to digest Test 5 Part Writing 30 minutes Directions For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Censorship Is It Necessary or Not You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below 1 有些人说审查制度很有必要 因为大众媒体上有太多不良内容 2 有些人则说这样妨碍了信息自由 3 你持何种观点 Censorship Is It Necessary or Not Nowadays people can get access to almost any information from various sources including TV films books or the Internet but some harmful information threatens the next generation s development and even social security Hence a question arises whether there should be censorship of information in society or not In my opinion information censorship is necessary but it should be carried out to the right limit or degree since it has both advantages and disadvantages To begin with information censorship helps protect children from excessive violence and obscene materials Children cannot tell what is right or wrong and what is real or unreal They are easily influenced by misinformation 4 and unhealthy information Therefore we should keep inappropriate materials out of their reach by means of censorship At the same time such some information or materials as those demonstrate and encourage racism violence or terrorism are extremely harmful to society and they should be banned from the public ear and eye Otherwise serious social problems will be caused and social security might be threatened So many people call for governmental regulation of monitoring the materials However people do have the right of free speech and free press Many of them believe that it is not fair to limit the public right of getting informed and to damage the atmosphere of free expression of ideas just for children s sake In their mind parental guidance is a better measure than censorship to monitor what children see or read Furthermore most adults use information for communication and exchange instead of evil purposes like sexual gratification They should have the freedom to access different information sources and decide what to accept and what to reject In conclusion parents should strictly control what their children watch or read and the government should censor children s books films and websites to screen harmful information On the other hand since it is people s right to choose what they want to know the government should not cut off benign information through censorship Test 6 Part Writing 30 minutes Directions For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Craze for Dual Degrees You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below 1 目前越来越多的大学生热衷于修双学位 2 这种现象出现的原因是 3 我的看法 Craze for Dual Degrees Recently there has been a craze for studying for dual degrees among undergraduates For example English majors may also major in economics and some students can work for majors in both politics and law In this way they can be awarded double bachelor s degrees when they graduate from the university several years later Why has studying for dual degrees gained popularity with college students Three factors may weigh heavily for it The phenomenon first should be attributed to improved teaching facilities and methods in universities Nowadays more and more universities boast of their rich teaching resources which make it possible for them to offer dual degree programs Secondly studying for another different but perhaps relevant major can make their study in university more colorful enrich students knowledge and hence a better knowledge structure The last and also most important contributing factor is fierce competition in the workforce market With the job market being increasingly competitive people of multiple skills are given preference to and so those who have two majors are at an advantage over others when they graduate However one point should be born in mind that not all universities and students are suitable for dual degree programs If the universities lack the necessary facilities and cannot guarantee the teaching quality and if the students have difficulty even in their first major it is not advisable to carry out the dual degree program 5 Test 7 Part Writing 30 minutes Directions For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled One Child Policy You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below 1 独生子女政策为中国人口控制起到了积极作用 2 独生子女政策也产生了副作用 3 在你看来 是否需要修订并放宽独生子女政策 One Child Policy As a country with huge population China has carried out the One Child Policy with strong determination for about three decades It is widely acknowledged that this is a very effective policy in birth control only with several side effects First of all the population in main land China has become aging which is going to bring a heavier burden to the young people As the only child in a family they have no siblings to share the responsibility of taking care of aging parents Furthermore there will be more and more retired people with less and less wording people which will also cause a problem to the whole society By the way in many families with only one child it is more likely for the parents to indulge their child The spoiled children often become less responsible for both family and the society Therefore voices of revising the One child Policy arise recently But I don t think it is the right time for revising because we still have a big population and we may need to do more research on how serious the aging problem is and what we can do to deal with it Test 8 Part Writing 30 minutes Directions For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Living in or out of Campus You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below 1 现在越来越多的大学生选择在校外租房居住 2 更多的大学生倾向于住学生宿舍 3 我的看法 Living in or out of Campus Nowadays college students are allowed to live alone off campus Some people still take it for granted that college students should live on campus where they can learn from each other They often neglect the fact that living in such small noisy crowded inconvenient and simply furnished dormitories restricts the students freedom hinders their individual character development and cuts off the students from the latest happenings of the world Therefore my attitude for living off campus is positive The reasons are just as follows First it benefits my study I can stay up as late as I want I can read aloud listening to the 6 tapes to practice my listening skills and even learn things through Internet surfing What s more it broadens my social life I can meet my parents relatives and friends freely and invite them to my place I can even practice my cooking skills And at least living alone off campus provides necessary privacy for me I can enjoy a comfortable convenient and independent life I don t need to worry about bringing inconvenience to others and vice versa In conclusion it s really nice living alone off campus because there are so many advantages If you have enough financial support you can try this appealing way of college life Test 9 Part Writing 30 minutes Directions For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Say No to Drunk Driving You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below 1 众所周知 酒后驾车十分危险 2 但近年来越来越多的人酒后驾车 原因是 3 我认为 Say No to Drunk Driving As is known to all drunk driving is very dangerous It puts to risks no only the driver s life but also those of other innocent people Dangerous as drunk driving is there have been more and more people who drive after drinking in recent years One reason for this is that people have been getting wealthier these years More and more people own cars and they like to drive to get togethers on various occasions where they might drink alcohol Another reason is that many people are overconfident with their driving skills They believe that they can avoid accidents even if they are drunken As a result thousands of people fall victim to drunk driving each year In my opinion we should say no to drunk driving firmly and immediately There have already been too many traffic accidents that are related to drunk driving Therefore in order to create a safer road condition for all citizens strict laws and regulations are called for to ban drunk driving Test 10 Part Writing 30 minutes Directions For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Self service Tour You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below 1 自助游正受到越来越多的人的青睐 2 自助游的优点及自助游中应该注意的事项 3 我认为 Self service Tour Compared with the package tour self service tour is especially welcomed by the young people nowadays 7 Why is self service tour so popular Firstly the travelers on a self service tour have more freedom They have the freedom to decide on which route to take which scenic spots to see and how long to stay Secondly self service tour can be a good chance to understand and improve yourself While traveling alone you may have more time to listen to yourself and think about the meaning of life Of course the self service tour requires the travelers to be fully prepared about it they must be proactive and
