13、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: 1. 出国留学有很多好处 2. 出国留学也会遇到很多难题 3. 你的选择,Studying Abroad: Hardships and Rewards There is no denying the fact that studying abroad is a hotly debated

14、topic today. Obviously, studying abroad has a number of rewards/advantages. 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

15、trends. Last but not least, by living and studying in a foreign country, one can improve his foreign language much faster than at home.,Nevertheless, as every coin has two sides, studying abroad also confronts one with a series of hardships. For one thing, learning a foreign language is far from an

16、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 advantage

17、s 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. (Therefore, studying abroad

18、 should be viewed as a two-edged sword, which presents us with both benefits and troubles. The best policy, as I see it, is to 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.),Directions

You should write at least 150 words: 1) “五一”、“十一”黄金周确实推动了中国经济的发展，丰富了人们的生活 2) 但黄金周制度也造成了很多问题 3) 我的态度,Should the Golden Week Holidays Be Abolished? There is no denying the fac

20、t that the introduction of the Golden Week holidays in China has considerably promoted the development of the nations economy and touring industry and enriched peoples life. People around the country have spent more time and money traveling and relaxing themselves. .,As every coin has two sides, the

21、 Golden Week holidays have also brought about piles of problems. For one thing, due to the fact that people across the country are spending their vacations during the same period of time, it is terribly crowded almost everywhere: trains, buses, hotels, scenic spots, etc., which have ruined peoples m

22、ood for vacations. For another, some businessmen take advantage of the weeklong holidays and raise the priced of commodities and services,Personally, I believe that it is necessary for people to have long vacations, but there is no need for them to have the vacations during the same period of time.

23、Instead, they should be allowed the freedom to arrange their own vacations. Only in this way can they really relax and refresh themselves for a new round of work.,Directions: In this section, you are asked to write a composition entitled Should people own cars or not? Your composition should be base

24、d on the outline given below. Your composition should be at least 150 words. Outline: 1. 有人赞成个人买车。 2. 也有人持相反观点。 3. 你的看法。,Should People Own Cars or Not? There is no denying the fact that it has been a hotly debated topic in China whether people should have their own cars. Peoples opinions differ shar

25、ply on this issue. Some hold the positive view. They say that the car provides the most convenient form of transportation. Besides, a car is a comfortable way to travel, especially in winter. Finally, a driver is usually safe in his car when he is out at night.,Others, however, hold the opposite vie

26、w. They say that there are many disadvantages to owning a car. For one thing, it can be very expensive to purchase and run a car. For another, owning a car can also cause worry and stress. It is exhausting to drive a car in heavy traffic. What is worse, cars are responsible for most of the smog in c

27、ities, which pollutes the environment seriously.,In spite of all the above mentioned, I still favor owning a car. The reason is that the car gives a person the freedom to schedule his own time. Though we are confronted with a problem of energy crisis, I am sure that the real solution will have to be

28、 a new kind of car, one that uses cheap, efficient fuel and does not contaminate the air.,Nowadays, an increasing number of people have become car owners. Yet there is no consensus on the development of private cars. Some people hold the positive view. They say that the car is the result of modern s

29、cience and technology and everyone is entitled to enjoy it. They also argue that the development of private cars will vigorously stimulate the development of other industries and the whole national economy.,Others, however, hold the negative view. They point out that the increasing number of cars ha

30、ve led to a series of problems. First, they result in air pollution, which seriously damage peoples health. Secondly, too many cars on the road easily lead to traffic jams, which actually slow down the pace of life and work.,Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am inclined to agree with

31、the latter point of view. The government should put a ban on the development of private cars and exert more efforts to develop public transportation, such as buses and subways. In this way, we can both enjoy efficiency and a clean environment.,Computer and Man,Ever since the birth of it, the compute

32、r has largely changed human beings life and there has been a hot debate about its effects on humans. Undeniably, computers have taken the place of humans in many areas and it seems that computers begin to think like man, but this does not necessarily lead to the danger that man will think like compu

33、ters.,The reasons, in my opinion, are as follows. Firstly, when computers release human from repetitive tasks, humans themselves can spend more time on creative works, such as scientific research, which require imagination and cannot be completed by computers. Meanwhile, thanks to computers, humans

34、get more spare time with their friends and family, which enhances their happiness. Moreover, even though computers can work automatically, the premise is that the program, which is written by humans, has been installed in it.,In conclusion, humans, unlike computers, have creative ability, emotional

35、desires and social bounds. Thus, I dont think that there will be the danger that man will begin to think like the computer.,Vocabulary,1. 1)In a way 2) in accordance with 3)vcancy 4) in good condition 5) transparent 6) rub 7) spicy 8) hitherto 9) with (a) bad grace 10) instinct 11) pawned 12) curren

41、ham, the famous British short story writer, shows us how powerful contrast is in delineating a persons character. Upon first seeing the title, readers mayu think: “Oh, no. Another story about how people helped their friend in need!” However, when they finish reading it, readers will find it is an en

42、tirely different story: Those who appear to be friendly may turn out to be so evil-minded as to be ready to strike a cruel blow at a friend in need. Almost the entire Part II is devoted to the description of Edward Burtons kindly appearance and pleasant manners. Neither the “I” in the story nor read

43、ers could imagine him hurting a fly. Yet in Part III Burton recounts cold-bloodedly how he destroyed a human life. Part I and Part II are narrated by “I”, who offers his subjective opinion of Burtons character. Yet in Part III Burton himself takes over the narration to tell what happened beween him

44、and a friend in trouble. He sounds cool and objective; just because of this he is shown to be so vicious and so cold-blooded.
