Practice 2 Directions: Read the following text(s) and write an essay to 1) summarize the main points of the text(s), 2) make clear your own viewpoint, and 3) justify your stand.

You should write 160—200 words on the ANSWER SHEET. It is all very well to blame traffic congestion, the cost of petrol and the hectic pace of modern lift, but manners on the roads are becoming deplorable. Everybody knows that nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well again to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the drivers seat is completely another awkward and difficult situation. You might tolerate the odd mad hog, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a “Be Kind to Other Drivers” campaign; otherwise it may get completely out of hand. Road courtesy is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most levelheaded and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to retaliate when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little courtesy goes a long way towards relieving the tensions and frustrations of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of courtesy are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it. Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice of signaling cars to overtake when the road is clear, because many of the cars took too long to pass. Their drivers couldn't be bothered to select a lower gear. Others, after overtaking, slowed down again and hogged the road. They manufacture them by force, using their direction indicators as a threat rather than a warning. Slanting matches and even punch-ups（打架斗殴）are quite common. It can't be long before we hear of pistols and knives being used: we can then call our dual carriageways, and solve a spelling problem in the process. Driving is essentially a state of mind. However technically skilled a driver may be, he can't be all advanced motorist if he is always arrogant and aggressive.

答案：解析：In the picture above,a man is talking on his phone loudly in a public place,being deliberately ignorant of other people's aversion to him within the same enclosed area.This illustration tries to point out the public cell phone behavior Public places,such as libraries,hospitals,galleries and theaters,are usually expected to be quiet and peaceful ne uses of mobile phones in such places are likely to disrupt the desirable working environment For instance.in a library,where people are pondering over the books,the constant mobile ringtones or the phone conversation will be intru-sive or irritating.Mobile phone usage in public places like hospitals can easily interfere with the medical equipment which can be harmful to the patient.Moreover,the environment at shopping malls,stores and other public places is very noisy and talking over cell phones will add extra decibel.Apart from that,using mobile phones in music galleries or theaters can result in others'discomfort and spoil their entertainment In my opinion,cell phones should be allowed in public places with some restrictions.What's more,in public places,quiet zones where phone use is banned should be set up. -

Their application in school education has provided teachers and students with new approaches to knowledge and information. There is a heated discussion about whether computers will replace teachers. The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions. Supporters: With the advanced computer and Internet, children can get the learning material whenever they want. Online teaching is becoming more and more popular that students can get planned lessons online. After each class, there is homework for them to do. Both the learning and practice can be done on computers. From computers students can learn something that they are interested in so that they won’t be restricted to the subjects that they are taught at school. Therefore, students will have the opportunity to achieve an all-around development. Opponents: Students need to communicate with teachers and get instructions from them whenever they have troubles in their study. Computers are only cold devices that will affect children’s ability to have face-to-face communication. Education is not only about imparting the knowledge, but also being a useful person. So students need to learn some useful values to be a good person which sometimes cannot be easily learned from computers. Children who use computer will learn to communicate with machines instead of people. There is a risk that they will be a generation of social illiterates.正确答案： 【范文】
The introduction of computers into classroom has greatly changed the traditional way of teaching and learning. Will computers replace teachers? Some supporters hold the view that computers provide different online teaching and students can get all-round development, while the opponents believe that teachers’ teaching is irreplaceable because it can teach children the values of life. In my opinion, it is impossible for computers to replace teachers.
I admit that computers benefit students in many ways, they can do their assignments with the help of appropriate software. They also access the Internet for research and entertainment. But as Spencer said, education has for its object the formation of character.” This is also the essence of the quality-oriented education advocated by our government. We need students who can think creatively, not cut and paste their essays out of software encyclopaedia. We need students who can tell truth from lies, not download unedited trivia from the Internet. We need students who can communicate face-to-face with others, not hide behind emails. These are the very aspects where teachers can provide help and guidance.
So teachers needn’t fear they would be replaced by computers. Instead, they should worry that if they did not adopt new technology, they would become outdated. Faced with the challenge of modern technology, what they should do is to change their attitudes. By learning and using this progressive approach, they can make their teaching more interactive and effective.解析： 暂无解析 -

Recently, Chen Zhu, minister of Health, said that the government should gradually include anti-addiction counseling and drugs in basic medical insurance coverage. Should anti-addiction be covered in medical insurance? The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions. Supporters: Smoking is now the biggest threat to human health. Through medical insurance to pay for their anti-addition drugs, smokers are more likely to have a try to quit smoking. It is hardly possible for smokers to quit smoking by their own efforts. If anti-addiction counseling and drugs are included in basic medical insurance coverage, smokers are more than willing to seek professional doctor for help and thus increase the chance of success. Helping smokers keep away from addiction not only benefits the smokers themselves, but also those around them, which is of great potential public health significance. In addition, the cost of using medical insurance to pay for anti-addiction is much lower than that to treat chronic diseases in the future. Opponents: Looking at the number of people who are smokers versus the great majority who aren't, it's much fairer to put the costs on the backs of those who cause them rather than on the backs of the great majority who don't smoke. Anti-addiction drugs are used to prevent diseases, which is supposed to be paid from the public health or disease control, but not from medical insurance fund. If anti-addition is covered in medical insurance, with 270 million smokers in China, how can the insurance bear it? In terms of 3000 RMB per person, we need 810 billion for medical insurance fund, while in 2010, the total income of urban basic medical insurance fund is only 430.9 billion.正确答案： 【范文】
With the announcement that government is on the road of packing anti-smoking drugs in the medical insurance coverage, there is a heated public controversy. Supporters believe that this measure encourages smokers to quit smoking, increasing the chance of success. Opponents argue that there are too many smokers in China, so it is unfair for non-smokers to pay for the cost. As regards this issue, I am of the opinion that anti-addiction should be covered in the medical insurance.
For one thing, although smoking is a personal habit, the harm it brings about affects all the people in the country, even in the world because it can not only destruct the health of both the smoker and the people surrounding him, but also cause environmental pollution. Hence, the act to cover anti-addiction in medical insurance by government is beneficial to the society. For another, packing anti-smoking medicine into medical insurance coverage encourages more smokers to take the initiative to give up smoking. Usually when they have to pay for the abandonment of smoking, smokers are less willing to show an active and positive attitude towards the non-smoking program. However, if this service is free, they may be more inclined to have a try.
All in all, smoking is not just a personal habit, but also a serious social problem. Our planet cannot bear this choking air any more and we should take actions immediately to support the anti-addiction program by having anti-smoking drugs covered into medical insurance.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Directions： Study the following graphs carefully and write an essay in 160-200 words. Your essay should cover these three points: （1）effect of the country’s growing human population on its wildlife （2）possible reason for the effect （3）your suggestion for wildlife protection Your essay must be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.正确答案：
The above graphs show the relation between population growth and wildlife extinction rate in the U.S. The population of America has been increasing all the time since 1800. The other graph reveals that the number of wildlife species remained almost stable from 1600 to 1700. But it is saddening to see that wildlife extinction rate increases very fast from the year of 1700. We can get a rough conclusion: the increasing population endangers the existence of wildlife.
Several reasons may contribute to this grievous phenomenon. To begin with, millions of wild animals are hunted for food or other purposes. One notorious example is Japan’s whaling fleet. Whales are hunted for whale-bone as well as for blubber, thus its population decreasing each year. Another reason comes from the pollutions human make. The ecosystem has been disturbed and some animals are losing their habitats.
To stop the situation from becoming worse, we must take action at once. Related laws and regulations should be passed to protect the environment and wildlife. When people’s consciousness of protecting wildlife is raised, the safety of the wildlife will be guaranteed.解析：

General situation of crime victims in the U.S. 2. The most frequent victims of crimes and their implications. 3. Your comments.正确答案：
【参考范文】
The Victims of Violence and Theft in the U.S. The above graph presents that in every age-bracket, there are more theft victims than violence ones as a whole. The number of both violence and theft victims goes down gradually. Children between ages of 12~15 are mostly the targets of thieves. The aged are less offended by crimes of theft. Meanwhile, juveniles are the main objects of violence. From the graph it can be concluded that children below 24 are most likely to be offended by theft. The analyzed facts reveal to us that the American youngsters are living in the greatest danger brought about by various social evils.
Therefore, in order to keep people, especially children far away from the crimes of violence and theft, the U.S. government should take urgent measures to lay down strict laws. At the same time children themselves should improve their awareness of self-protection in daily life.解析： 暂无解析 -

You should write 160—200 words on the ANSWER SHEET. There was a heated discussion on whether to require every student to wear a uniform. The following are arguments from supporters of uniforms and their competitors. Supportive arguments: There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person or a seller of identification with a larger, more important concept. They say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such a poor person who cannot afford good quality clothing is not to be belittled by a wealthy person who wears expensive quality clothing. They also say it is helpful to build up team work ability, enhance the school's entire public image, and boost up the honor of collectiveness by wearing school uniform. Opposite arguments: Others say no one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as all individuals but only lives to function as a part of a whole. If all persons were to wear the same clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. Why world parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had? Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous as well; why bother to sell the only items that are available?正确答案： 【范文】
Opinions are divided on the issues of whether every student is required to wear a uniform. Supporters of uniforms claim that uniforms can prevent students from keeping up with the Joneses. However, opponents of uniforms argue that uniforms not only ruin individuals’ personality, but heavily damage persons’ incentive to life better.
Arguments of either side make sense. But as far as I’m concerned, uniforms have more disadvantages than advantages. Firstly, we now live in an era which advocates personality. The same school uniforms will kill children’s aesthetic development and stunt individuals’ personality, creativity and imagination. Secondly, all students wearing uniforms will make their own clothes unused, which will cause enormous waste of national resources. Thirdly, the wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a negative effect on advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers and television would not be able to remain in business. The entire information and entertainment industry would collapse.
Although there still exist schools adopting the practice of uniforms, I believe they will change their ideas after they think through its disadvantages. What we should remember is that individuals’ freedom, motivation and identity will never be ignored.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 2Write an essay in about 150 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should:1. Write out the messages conveyed by the cartoon.2. Give your comments.正确答案：
【参考范文】
It goes without doubt that promises are ubiquitous in our daily life. We can hear varieties of promises either from TV, newspaper or from other mass media. As is shown in the cartoon, even a hen has learned how to promise. Undoubtedly it is hen’s duty to lay eggs. And the eggs of course contain shell, yolk and egg whites. But now all this needs to be promised.
It is not uncommon to find more such unnecessary promises. For example, to ensure the quality of the goods is the responsibility and duty of a store. However, some stores will stick up a notice promising “there is no fake product here”. It sounds so ridiculous.
As far as I’m concerned, doing is better than saying. What all the customers want is high-quality service. Therefore, more emphasis should be laid on how to improve the quality of goods as well as that of the employees. Only in this way can we make the economy prosper in a healthier way.解析： 暂无解析 -

正确答案：本题漫画中，一个大圈被分成若干格，每个格里都有一个人在上网。人们通过网络联系起来，形成一张如同蜘蛛网的错综复杂的关系网。再由题目《网络的“近”与“远”》，可以想到漫画含义涉及网络的两个方面，一方面，网络拉近了人们之间的距离，足不出户便可进行交流;但另一方面，由于人们越来越依赖网络，面对面交流的机会越来越少了。
围绕这一主题，根据提纲要求，本文结构设计如下：
根据提纲中的信息1) describe the drawing briefly 第一段对漫画进行简单描述;
根据提纲中的信息2) explain its intended meaning 第二段揭示漫画的含义，从正反两方面论述，一方面，网络为人们提供了便利的条件，使人们的交流更加便捷和迅速;另一方面，人们的现实交流越来越少了，感情似乎也疏远了。
根据提纲中的信息3) give your comments 第三段表明作者的看法，即网络使社会成员的联系更加紧密，但在一定程度上也疏远了人们之间的关系。
SAMPLE
The above picture gives a vivid description of a huge spider web which symbolizes Internet. There’s no doubt that Internet, an entirely new way of communication, is becoming so popular nowadays that it’s difficult to imagine modern life without it. It has revolutionized the way of people’s living and thinking, and has exerted a profound effect on our daily life.
Definitely, the symbolic meaning of the picture subtly conveyed should be taken into deep consideration. First of all, with the Internet, it is convenient and fast for people to have access to a variety of information and what they need to do is just to press key buttons. What’s more, the great utility of the Internet allow people within a company, across a nation or even around the world to work together. Finally, we can do almost everything via Internet. Specifically, we can conduct E-business, advertise our products, book an air ticket, buy and sell stocks, even hunt a new job through clicking the mouse. Nevertheless, it is a two-edged sword as well and has its own negative effects. Some people tend to spend hours on Internet for the sake of relaxation and develop addictions. As a result, the public have an emotional distance sometimes and thus few face-to-face communications in reality due to Internet addiction without self-restriction.
From what have been discussed above, it is clear that with a personal computer and modem, any individual can call up information about almost anything from almost anywhere and almost anytime on the web. All in all, Internet, an indispensable part in modern life, has the power to connect people and, yet, to some extent, alienate people in reality. -

Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing.In your essay,you should（1）describe the drawing briefly,（2）interpret its intended meaning,and（3）give your comments.
答案：解析：一、审题谋篇2014年的大作文从总体上来看不难，因为它考查到了现在的一个社会热点。而且从十年的考研真题来讲，2005年的大作文考查到的是赡养老人的问题，当年的图画是可怜的老父亲缩成了一只皮球，四个儿女守着四个球门，老人被儿女们踢来踢去。当年的描述图画部分比较难表达，而今年图画描述部分相比起来就容易得多。写作框架仍然采取标准三段式来写。第一段图画描述段的写作内容主要是描述图画，需包括两点：三十年前是个什么样子，现在是什么样子。三十年前“我”还是个孩子，母亲大手拉小手陪伴着我成长；现在，母亲上年纪了，我陪伴在母亲的身旁。图的重心应该是在右边一幅，突出的是子女长大后要关爱、感恩父母。第二段是图画内涵阐释段。首先用一句话阐释图片内涵，然后用事实对该内涵进行阐释。可正面举例说明社会存在这样良好的风尚，也可以从反面说明当前社会中人们忽视了对父母的关爱和回报。第三段评论段的写作内容为给出自己的评论和建议。可以指出年轻人应该把尊重和照顾年迈的父母视为一种道义责任。也可以从细节出发，年轻人在生活中如何做到孝顺父母。只有这样，我们的家庭才能和睦，社会才能更加和谐!二、参考范文As can been seen,love between a mother and a daughter is reflected by the drawing:in the left one,a young and amiable mother is holding one hand of her little daughter,while in the right photo,when the mother is aged,her daughter,who has grown up,is supporting her,just as the mother did thirty years ago.Just as the caption below summarizes,the implication conveyed in the picture is self-evident:we need to show our concern and love to our parents.However,most of us fail to do this job.As our pace of life gallops along,increasingly our society is seeing a decline in traditional moral values.It is revealed in the fact that we always put back filial piety.As young men now deem the career as the priority,they often choose to migrate with their jobs,and work around the clock,leaving parents in empty-nests.Besides,many people are used to substituting their care for parents with money or gifts.While it is beyond dispute that material support can improve our parents’living standards,what these aged people need most is company and love from us,such as a simple call,a short time at home.It is easy to draw this conclusion that,to our parents,nothing can be better than the filial piety from children.Whenever possible,we should gather around the table for a“reunion dinner”with our parents;whether busy or not,we need to give our parents a call and tell them we are fine.Only with our full awareness of caring our parents with gratitude can our parents lead a really happy life.三、万能句型1.As can been seen,…is reflected by the drawing:….2.Just as the caption below summarizes,the implication conveyed in the picture is self-evident:….3.As our pace of life gallops along,increasingly our society is seeing….4.It is revealed in the fact that….5.While it is beyond dispute that…,….6.It is easy to draw this conclusion that….7.Only with our full awareness of…can…. -

Directions:Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following pictures.In your essay.You should（1）describe the pictures briefly.（2）interpret the meaning,and（3）give your comments.
答案：解析：Portrayed in the two cartoons is a thought-provoking scenario:In the left one,a young man,comfortably lounging on the chair,is looking at his huge bookshelf full of books contentedly,while the other,in the right drawing,is determined to finish reading 20 books in a year.By this scenario,the cartoonist is trying to awaken us to the importance of reading and sticking to our goals.It is universally held that with the advance of modern society,only those equipped with updated knowledge are most likely to reach the summit of their success,which can only be achieved through constant reading.Nevertheless,without actions,our objectives are bound to be a fantasy.Indeed,people fail always because they stop trying,not because they encounter invincible difficulties.From what has been mentioned above,we may reasonably arrive at the conclusion that only those who keep learning and cherish the spirit of persistence have opportunities to succeed.Action always speaks louder than words.If you understand and adhere to this principle in your study and work,you will definitely benefit greatly. -

答案：解析：The picture shows us a cultural hotpot,in which contain the“food”from both the domestic and the abroad,from both the ancient and the modern period.At the bottom of the hotpot,a line of words appears,saying,“cultural hotpot—both delicious and nutritious.This picture was used to indicate that culture fusion benefit us a lot.
Nowadays,we are living in a world where one is cross-connected with others highly.That is to say,the development of our nation needs information from all around the world.As an ancient nation with splendid civilization,we also need to learn from westerners while enhancing and glorifying our traditional culture.In the same manner,those foreigners who are interested in our nation will get valuable hints for their nation’s development.Knowing more about the global culture will help people from different countries understand each other better and live with each other peacefully.Only with understanding,the global issues and disputes can be settled in a satisfying way.Just imagine that how horrible it is if each country isolates from others and resists the foreign information.
Of course,advocating culture fusion does not equal to accepting the foreign culture wholly without considering its bad influence.We must admit that each culture has its merits and dregs,which need us to treat them dialectically. -

It is not uncommon to find more such unnecessary promises. For example, to ensure the quality of the goods is the responsibility and duty of a store. However, some stores will stick up a notice promising “there is no fake product here”. It sounds so ridiculous.
As far as I’m concerned, doing is better than saying. All the customers want is first level service. Therefore, more emphasis should be laid on how to improve the quality of goods as well as that of the employees. Only in this way can we make the economy prosper in a more healthy way.解析：

问答题Practice 2 Directions: Read the following text(s) and write an essay to 1) summarize the main points of the text(s), 2) make clear your own viewpoint, and 3) justify your stand. In your essay, make full use of the information provided in the text(s). If you use more than three consecutive words from the text(s), use quotation marks (“ ”). You should write 160—200 words on the ANSWER SHEET. It is all very well to blame traffic congestion, the cost of petrol and the hectic pace of modern lift, but manners on the roads are becoming deplorable. Everybody knows that nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well again to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the drivers seat is completely another awkward and difficult situation. You might tolerate the odd mad hog, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a “Be Kind to Other Drivers” campaign; otherwise it may get completely out of hand. Road courtesy is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most levelheaded and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to retaliate when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little courtesy goes a long way towards relieving the tensions and frustrations of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of courtesy are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it. Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice of signaling cars to overtake when the road is clear, because many of the cars took too long to pass. Their drivers couldn't be bothered to select a lower gear. Others, after overtaking, slowed down again and hogged the road. They manufacture them by force, using their direction indicators as a threat rather than a warning. Slanting matches and even punch-ups（打架斗殴）are quite common. It can't be long before we hear of pistols and knives being used: we can then call our dual carriageways, and solve a spelling problem in the process. Driving is essentially a state of mind. However technically skilled a driver may be, he can't be all advanced motorist if he is always arrogant and aggressive.正确答案： 【范文】
The given excerpts discuss most drivers on their road are badly-behaved, which results in all kinds of traffic conflict. Therefore, the excerpts suggest drivers must possess a sense of road courtesy. Road courtesy asks for drivers not only to behave good manners, but also to have a good sense. Only in this way can friction be minimized. At last, the excerpts mention that being an advanced motorist depends on whether he has a sense of road courtesy rather than whether he is technically skilled.
As for me, I totally agree with the point of view mentioned in the excerpts. Admittedly, with the rapid development of economy and car industry, there is a constant increase in private cars and taxi. However, it also brings about some negative influences. In order to save time or for personal convenience, drivers turn a deaf ear to the road courtesy. Their illegal overtaking and inappropriate driving lead to many cases of car accidents. To solve this problem, the government has issued related laws to supervise drivers. But what’s more important, it’s drivers’ good sense that matters most. On the one hand, drivers should stay calm when meeting an uncivilized driver. Don’t retaliate. On the other hand, drivers should respond to an act of courtesy, which will help create a friendly atmosphere among the traffic conditions.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 3 Read the following text(s) and write an essay to 1) summarize the main points of the text(s), 2) make clear your own viewpoint, and 3) justify your stand. In your essay, make full use of the information provided in the text(s). If you use more than three consecutive words from the text(s), use quotation marks (“ ”). You should write 160—200 words on the ANSWER SHEET. Poverty today is a major global issue. Although there are all kinds of definitions used to explain it, in simple words, it means the inability of a person to even get his basic needs of food. shelter, clothing, safe drinking water, health and education. Poverty can be found in each and every corner of the world, although the causes may differ from country to country. Given below are the main causes of poverty in the world today. Overpopulation is one of the main causes behind the threatening of poverty on an individual level as well as a social level. This is simple math. If there are more mouths to feed and less income, definitely much will remain poor. Another theory which is used as an explanation for poverty is lack of education. If you look at any of the underdeveloped countries, you will find that the level of education there is very low. Lack of education means lack of employment opportunities, thus leading to unemployment coupled with poverty in the future. Moving away from one’s own homeland to another city or country in search of employment leads to poverty too. It may take these people a lot of time to find jobs. Meanwhile they live in bad conditions. The cost of living in the city or country is most of the time too high for them. There may be other causes of poverty like the change in business. For example, in America, a couple of decades ago, heavy industry flourished, which employed a lot of African-American people. But now, the focus is more on information technology and health care, both of which employ only skilled and trained people. This has led to unemployment among African-Americans. Poverty has many ill effects on society. That’s why steps should be taken to get rid of it!正确答案： 【范文】
The given excerpts mainly talk about the causes of poverty: overpopulation, lack of education, moving to other places and the change in business. Poverty issue has aroused the concern of every country in the world, for it can bring many negative effects on society.
The effects of poverty are most often interrelated. For instance, the effect of bad sanitation makes it easier to spread around old and new diseases, and hunger and lack of water make people more vulnerable to these diseases. Therefore, the whole society must take some steps to get rid of poverty so that all related effects on society can be removed.
In my opinion, first of all, the government should provide people more opportunities to get educated. Education can change one’s life as well as the condition of his whole family. Through education, people can get knowledge and skills to get jobs and get rich. Secondly, the government should improve the healthcare system. Only in this way can we make the poor have a good health. Last but not least, the government should increase the subsidies for agriculture. As most farmers live on farming, today in an age of industrialization, their living conditions are becoming harder.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Directions: A. Study the following picture carefully and write an essay of at least 120 words. B. Your essay should meet the requirements below: (1) describe the picture and interpret its meaning; (2) point out the problem and give your comments.正确答案：
Let the Crying Water Tap Stop CryingAs is depicted in the cartoon entitled A C, Crying Water Tap, water is continually dripping from the tap, spilled over the ground and wasted. The scene points to a rather thought-provoking problem of resources abuse in the present-day society.
Nowadays, some people are unaware of the oncoming fresh water shortage, not only because they believe that such resources come from inexhaustible supplies, but al- so because they do not place a high value on valuable things-at all. Even worse, they hold the same notions towards other precious natural resources than water-electricity, paper, and food, just to name a few. Sad to say, those people never get round to noticing the sad scene depicted in the picture. It seems that they pretend not to belong to the global village or they have misconceptions about nature conservation.
Given the painful situation, it is high time that the importance of nature conservation be directed to the public not simply by means of guidance but also by means of law enforcement. Unless such an epidemic is checked, we will run into great troubles in store for us, and even Worse, there will not be water dripping out Of the tap any more.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 2Directions:A. Study the following graph carefully and write an essay in 150 words.B. Your essay should meet the requirements below: 1. Interpret the graph. 2. Suggest counter-measures. 3. Give advice for job seekers.正确答案：
【参考范文】
The Employment Prospect in City A As is shown in the graph, the employment prospect in City A appears not so bright. City A Personnel and Talent Bureau reported that in 2001, there were only 50,000 positions available for the almost 60,000 graduates. And the number of the graduates increased by 67 % in the following two years, while that of the job opportunities remained the same.
In order to solve the problem, the government should adjust job market policies to take pressure off the new job-seekers. For one thing, they’re supposed to provide the graduates with more job opportunities. For another, they should train the graduating college students for the fierce competition ahead.
It is more important that the job hunters be fully aware of the difficult situation and get fully prepared for the tough journey. If still they cannot find a suitable job, they can choose to put off employment and go abroad for further study.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 3Directions:A. Study the following graphs carefully and write an essay in 150 words.B. Your essay must be written neatly on ANSWER SHEET.C. Your essay should cover these three points: 1. Effect of the country’s growing human population on its wildlife. 2. Possible reasons for the effect. 3. Your suggestions for wildlife protection.正确答案：
【参考范文】
The Problem of the Wildlife Protection in the U.S. The above graphs show that the population of the U.S. increased rapidly during nearly 200 years thanks to the progress in technology and economy. However, the development is achieved at the cost of some wildlife.
There are various reasons for this situation. But the most prominent one is human being’s weak awareness of wildlife protection, which leads to the decrease and extinction of wildlife as a result of illegal hunting and killing for profits. It is becoming even more difficult for wildlife to survive, with the gradual decrease of forest and pasture coverage area and the increase of pollution and soil erosion due to the explosion of population.
To solve this problem, the U.S. government needs to enhance people’s awareness of wildlife protection and even to formulate some relevant laws and regulations. What’s more, more investment should be added to the wildlife protection to create a better environment for the existing wildlife.解析： 暂无解析
