On the other hand, the purpose of two daughters is to obtain theirmothers money in her pockets.The painter/drawer/cartoonist tries to inform us that we are supposed to take care of our parents and we do this with no thought of gain for ourselves.

(216 words) 2，图表作文题(图表，原因，预测/办法/现象)1991 年6 月Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition of no lessthan 100 words on Changes in Peoples Diet. Study the following table carefully and yourcomposition must be based on the information given in the table. Write three paragraphs to:1.state the changes in peoples diet (饮食) in the past five years;2. give possible reasons for the changes.3. draw your own conclusions.You should quote as few figures as possible.As can be seen from the chart, great changes have taken place in peoples diet in the past five years. Grain, as the main food of most Chinese, is now playing a less important role. That is to say, it had a slight decline from 49% in 1986 to 45% in 1990. On the contrary, the proportion/percentage of some high-energy foods, such as milk and meat, increased 3% and 4%respectively.What has caused these changes? It seems to me that there are two reasons. First, with the development of economy and society, people are better off than before. The price of meat and milk is much higher than that of grain, so in the old days people could not afford them. Now theyhave enough money to buy both meat and milk. Second, people nowadays pay more attention to the elements of their diet. They look for a well-balanced diet that will be good for their health.From what has been discussed/analyzed above, we may safely come to a conclusion that there have been changes in peoples diet in the past five years because of financial and health reasons, and there will be further changes in the foreseeable future. 3. 2002 年6 月Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic:Student Use of Computers.

State the reasons(usage of the computer, the price of computer and development of the society)3. Describe the problems of using the computers by college students.Student Use of ComputersAs is shown in the chart above, the average number of hours that college students spent on computers per week increased sharply from 1990 to 2000. The first 5 years witnessed a steady rise from less than 2 hours a week to almost 4 hours; while the number soared from 4 hours to 20in the last 5 years.As is shown in the chart above, great changes have taken place in students use of computers between 1990 and 2000. On the one hand, the number of hours students spend on PCs a week had a slight increase from less than 2 hours in 1990 to almost 4 hours in 1995. On the other hand, it soared from 4 hours to around 18 hours a week in the last 5 years.Why does the computer become so popular? There are several factors accounting for this marked growth. For one thing, compared with any other human inventions and innovations in history, computers, as the most powerful communication tool, can be widely used in as many fields as one can imagine. For another, with the development of science and technology, the price of computers becomes so low that almost everybody can afford one nowadays, including us college students. Whats more, we cannot find a good job after graduation without knowing how to use the high-tech machine.Although computers bring us many benefits/much convenience, we cannot ignore the fact that they also bring about/lead to/give rise to/cause many problems. For instance, some students spent too much time on playing PC games and these, of course, affect their study enormously. How to balance the time between using computers and studying has become a serious problem. Therefore, it is high time that we learned not only how to use computers but also how to use them properly/appropriately/wisely. 227 words 4，谚语作文题(解释，举例，总结)1997 年1 月Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes tow rite a composition on thetopic: Practice Makes Perfect. You should write at least 100 words and you should base yourcomposition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:1. How to understand “Practice Makes Perfect”2. Support the view with examples3. Draw your own conclusionPractice is the key to success in all fields of activity. It is practice alone that enables us to build up speed and efficiency. When we accomplish something perfectly without wasting effort, this is the result of long practice. Examples can be easily found, but this/these will be enough/sufficient. Take the study of English for example. Only practice can enable us to spell words correctly and master the rules of grammar. And it is also through practice that we can become fluent in speaking andwriting, there is no other way. Another good example is sports. Practice is the only way tobecome stronger and run faster. Besides, in team games practice is what improves our sense ofcooperation and helps the team to win.To sum up, there can be no achievement which is not based on a solid foundation ofpractice. (143 words) A famous/well-known proverb/saying/remark goes “Practice makes perfect”, whichmeans that perfection lies in practice. Without practice, you can never expect to be really good atanything. On the contrary, the more you practice, the more likely you are to do things in aperfect way.Taking a look around, we can find examples too numerous to list. The study of English isa case in point. If you wish to improve your pronunciation, you must practice pronouncing everyEnglish syllable again and again. Likewise, if you want to write an excellent composition, youhave to sit down and write. Another example is Deng Yaping, the world No. 1 woman Ping-pongplayer. This short girl, who does not seem to be cut out for sports, owes her success to painstakingand perseverant practice.In short, practice is essential if we want to make achievements in our studies or work, orindeed in any other aspect of our life. Practice, to some degree, can make the differencebetween being merely good at something and becoming a champion.

You should write at least 100 words, and base your composition on the outline below:1) Present situation: it is hard to get a job for college graduates2) Give possible reasons3) Your commentsJob hunting has always been a headache for college graduates. Though many graduates areemployed right after graduation, some are not. Most serious of all, some still have no idea whereto go working even a long time after graduation.The reasons for this phenomenon are various. On the one hand, a few years ago collegesand universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so onthat the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market. On the other hand, mostgraduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the countryside.I think the problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures. First, theyshould research the market and develop special skills to suit its need. Second, students attitudetowards employment should be changed. They should go to some small cities and country. Therethey can also give full play to their professional knowledge. In a word, if we pay much attention,the problem can be solved. (177 words) 6.正反观点题(正方，反方，己方)1999 年6 月Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on thetopic: Reading Selectively Or Extensively? You should write at least 100 words, and base yourcomposition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:1. Some people think we should read selectively2. Others think we should read extensively3. My opinionIt is widely believed that we are supposed to read selectively, which means that more often than not, people choose some books to read. One reason they say is that with the development ofthe publishing industry, books in increasing numbers are printed and eventually we cannot readthem all. The other reason they claim is that not all books are good for us, and some of themmay contain lots of pornographic or violent descriptions.While others argue that it would be a better choice to read as many books as possible, that is,we ought to read extensively. These people insist that only by reading a variety of books can onebecome a full/knowledgeable man. They also point out that we need to read books of all kinds tokeep us well-informed and keep up with the latest development.After careful consideration, I may safely come to the conclusion that we should combinethese two reading methods together. For one thing, we need to choose some classics to read. Foranother, we have to read as much as we can. It is only by doing so that one can become a manwho knows something of everything and everything of something.
