given above we can observe that there is a teacher and a student standing in the classroom When receiving a literature book given by her teacher the little girl seems to be quite nervous and unwilling Having observed her student s response the teacher tells her that Just think of it as if you are reading a long text message The cartoon aims at informing us of the phenomenon that quite a few students or youngsters are reluctant to read literature nowadays With the Internet and electronic communication tools such as micro blogs mobile phones and QQ becoming increasingly widespread quite a few people are more used to reading short context They hold that compared with long contents such as literature these short ones are more convenient and timesaving What s more many students refuse to read literature because they believe that literature is boring and of little use in modern society However no one can disclaim the importance of reading literature It enables people to enrich their knowledge and expand their horizons Moreover reading literature also inspires people to think critically and independently Last but not least by spending time in reading literature we can also develop and perfect human personality such as being patient and optimistic Hence why not just get out of the reality temporarily and spend some time on literature 译文译文 如图所示 我们可以观察到有一位老师和一个学生正站在教室里 当这个女学生收到 老师给的文学书本的时候 她显得紧张而又不情愿 观察到女学生这种反应后 老师告诉 她 你只要把它想成是正在读一条很长的短信就可以了 这幅漫画告诉我们一个现象 那就是 相当多的学生 或者是年轻人如今都不太乐意 阅读文学作品 随着诸如微博 手机和 QQ 这样的互联网或电子通讯工具变得越来越普及 相当多的人更加适应于阅读短小的信息内容 他们认为 比起文学这样的长篇内容 这些 短小内容更加方便和省时 再者 相当多的学生拒绝阅读文学作品是因为他们认为文学作 品非常枯燥 并且在现代社会没有什么用处 然而 我们不能否认阅读文学作品的重要性 它能使我们丰富知识 拓宽视野 而且 阅读文学作品可以激发我们批判性地 独立性地思考问题 最后 通过花时间在阅读文学 作品上 我们也可以发展和完善我们的人格 比如变得有耐心 乐观 因此 我们为什么 不可以暂时的远离现实而花一些时间在文学上呢 Topic 8

people argue that priority should be given to studying theories while others believe that practice is the best way of learning On the one hand previous experience and authoritative views in textbooks are regarded as reliable thorough and systematic knowledge which prevents us from making mistakes On the other hand practice provides a down to earth learning experience Such a method enables people to get some valuable practical first hand information which they will never find from textbooks From my point of view the combination of the two works out the best way In fact I believe acquiring theories in books and putting them into practice is the most efficient learning method 译文 应以理论还是实践作为学习渠道 如今 何为最佳的学习方式已经成为了热点话题 有些人认为应该优先学习理论知识 另一些人则认为 实践才是最佳的学习方法 从一方面来看 课本中有许多前人的经验与权威的观点 人们认为这些知识可靠

我认为应如何加强团队合作 On the Importance of Teamwork Teamwork as the mainstream way of doing business cannot be emphasized more in the modern world There are programs designed to improve one s teamwork ability team spirit is deeply engraved in the mind of each social man Why does teamwork become so important Two major reasons are listed as follows To start with only through effective teamwork can we achieve success Behind each business miracle or each successful man there is a big team supporting and contributing The huge success of Apple products should be attributed to teamwork rather than the personal accomplishment of Steve Jobs The importance of teamwork is not only reflected on achieving success but also on the issue of survival In modern society we know very well that no one can survive by himself Every loaf of bread every article of clothes every house or apartment is the product of cooperative efforts To sum up teamwork is such an essential ability that we college students should seize every chance to develop At least do not keep silent during group discussion in class next time 译文 关于团队合作的重要性 在现代社会中 人们非常强调团队合作 团队合作成为主流的做事方式 改善团队合作能力的项目随处 可见 团队精神深深铭刻在每个社会人的心中 为什么团队合作变得如此重要 两点主要原因罗列如下 首先 只有通过有效的团队合作 我们才能取 得成功 在每个商业奇迹或者成功人士背后 都有一个支持并为之贡献的大团队 苹果产品的成功应该归功 于团队合作而非史蒂夫 乔布斯个人 团队合作的重要性不仅体现在取得成功方面 而且体现在生存问题上 在现代社会 我们都清楚地知道没有人可以依靠自己而生存 每片面包 每件衣服 每栋房子或者每套公寓 都是人们合作的产物 总而言之 团队合作是一项极其关键的能力 我们大学生应抓住每个机会来锻炼团队合作能力 至少 在下次课堂小组讨论环节不要再沉默不语了 Topic 10 Directions For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled On More Attention Be Paid to 7 English than Chinese following the outline given below You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words 1 在中国 英语明显比中文更受重视 2 人们对这一失衡现象各持己见 3 我的观点是 On More Attention Be Paid to English than Chinese In China English has clearly gained much more attention than Chinese which is rare in other countries in the world Anything with connection even a remote one to English is bound to flourish such as bilingual summer camp This phenomenon has been in the spotlight for some time Some people argue that the unbalanced situation will put China s traditional culture in danger since language is the medium of culture However according to a different view more emphasis put on English is not necessarily a bad sign To those who hold this view English is exactly what we need to know and learn from western countries which is crucial to China s rise From my mind s view recognizing the importance of English should not hinder us from pursuing more understanding of our own language and culture Therefore we should devote as much time and energy to Chinese as to English 译文 关于英语比中文更受重视 在中国 英语明显比中文更受重视 这种现象在世界上其他国家非常少见 任何与英语有关的事物 即 便只有一点点关系 都会兴旺发达 例如双语夏令营 这一现象已被关注了一段时间 部分人认为这种不平衡的状况将使得中国的传统文化堪忧 因为语言是 文化的媒介 然而 另有观点认为重视英语不一定是坏现象 在此此种观点的人看来 英语正是中国了解和 学习西方国家所需的 这对中国崛起至关重要 在我看来 认识到英语的重要性不应阻碍我们增加对本国语言和文化的了解 因此 我们应该在中文上 投入跟英语同样的时间和精力 Topic 11 Directions For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to

disasters to the people in my university and community 译文 如何减少自然灾害带来的损害 由于周期变化 或是人为干预 近年来自然灾害不断增多 全世界有很多人死于地震 海啸和飓风 为了避免伤害并把损失减到最小 我们能做些什么 首先 人们一定要采取措施保护环境 应当倡导回 收利用与使用可再生能源 来帮助我们节约资源 其次
