　　［参考范文］

　　There is a newly dissension putting forward these days: Is it legally allowed for Chinese on-campus students to get married before they complete their courses? Some people prefer "yes" while some others prefer "no". Certainly a large number of people just cannot decide which side they should be stand.

　　In fact, the governments allow on-campus students to get married before they complete their courses. There isn' t a regulation proclaimed in writing to forbid marriage of on-campus students. But it must affect those triers.

　　In my opinion, it is unnecessary to forbid on-campus students to get married before they finished their college, however, it shouldn' t be advocated or encouraged. Because, for on-campus students, their play the role as learners. Their main task is to learn. If they married, their school work must be affected and they may not graduate favorably or may not be capable for future works. So, I believe: almost all on-campus students would deal with the question reasoningly.

　　1.Ever since early the last century, electricity has become an essential part of our modern life.

　　2.If there were no electric power, .

　　3.Therefore, .

　　Ever since early the last century, electricity has become an essential part of our modern life. Our industrial and agricultural production depends on it to run various kinds of machines. The modern wonder computers work on electricity too. It provides light, heat and power for us. If we want to watch TV or films or to listen to the radios, we also need it. Nobody can deny that the development of our civilization depends on electricity.

　　If there were no electric power, our modern world would be in trouble. For one thing all the wheels would stop because the motors that power the machines would fail. For another, many, if not all

, of our industries would cease production. All the world transport system, in addition, would be felt on the world's communication systems. Thus our modern world would be impossible without electricity.

　　Therefore, we should make better use of electric power. On the other hand, we should educate people to economize using electricity and not to waste the energy resources with no thought for the future. At the same time we must do our best to exploit more electric resources to meet the requirements of the human beings and to avoid energy crisis in the future.

 

3、提纲式作文：出国留学on overseas study

　　1)、现在每年有学生出国留学

　　2)、有人觉得留学是个人发展的最好选择，而有人认为在国内也有好的发展。

　　3)、你的看法

　　Recent years, more and more Chinese people have chosen to study abroad. To this tendency, some people think it is not good, as most of the overseas learners do not come back, whereas I hold a different opinion.

　　In my opinion, it is a good thing that more Chinese people go abroad. There are three reasons. First, the overseas learners can improve their ability through the study. They can grasp advanced technologies and their language ability can be improved as well. Second, with the rapid development of China, more and more overseas learners will choose come back, using their abundant knowledge studied abroad to serve for the motherland. The third, the government and most domestic enterprises are willing to provide favorable treatments to attract them to come back.

　　Although some do not want to come home, we are glad to see that there are more overseas learners chosen to work at home than before. For the above reasons, I think it is not a bad thing for more and more Chinese study abroad.

 

4、提纲式作文：Private Tutoring

　　1)、家长为孩子聘请家教目前在社会上非常普遍

　　2)、为孩子聘请家教的利弊

　　3)、你的看法

　　There is more than one way to Rome, so is the way of tutoring. Nowadays many parents prefer to a private mentor for their children rather than step-by-step study in school. Is it helpful? Or is it harmful?

　　Someone argue that it will destroy the systematic course established by school teacher. It would increase children' s dependency on unnecessary crutch. The worst situation may appear when all trust in public school staff were deprived by those part-time-job hunter.

　　To be honest, I' m inclined to disagree with these opinions. First of all, another way for textbook interpreting would give children another kind of viewpoint. It would be good at training their critical spirit form the very beginning. On the other side of the coin, absolute authority may be the most undiscoverable enemy during elementary phase for school education. Competiton from outside could change the teacher-oriented status.

　　Love is preference. Preferable choices provide much qualified option. At least the muli-access tutoring is not an access full of thorn.

 

5、图表作文：人口快速增长带来的问题the ups and downs of population growth

　　Directions:

　　A. Study the following graphs carefully and write an essay in at least 150 words.

　　B. Your essay should cover these points;

　　1. effect of the country's growing human population in its wildlife

　　2. possible reasons for the effect

　　3. your suggestion for wildlife protection (15 points)

　　

　 As is seen from the two graphs, it is clear that with the rapid growth of U.S. population from 1800 to 1990, the number of its wildlife species no longer existing soared during the same period. Naturally, we can draw the conclusion that the sharp decline of wildlife species resulted from the population growth.

　　Two reasons may account for this phenomenon. To begin with, as the population grows, people consume much more natural resources, which often lead to excessive hunting. Second, with the increase of human activities, modern people take up more and more space which has a great impact on other species. Finally, the problem of pollution becomes more and more serious with the development of modern industry. More and more animals have to adapt themselves to the decaying environment or move to a totally different place, but not all of them are fortunate enough to survive the changes.

　　Solving this problem calls for, above all, the government’s efforts to control population growth, to decrease industrial pollution and to enhance the laws to forbid wildlife hunting. Moreover, common citizens should be aware of this ecological crisis and take on the responsibility of wildlife protection. In a word, only

when the government and the common people make joint efforts can

we hope to find a satisfactory solution to this problem.

 

6、图表作文：居民日常生活花消表 (215 words)

　　Study the following table carefully and write an essay of at least 150 words. Your essay must be written on Answer Sheet. Your essay should meet the requirements below.

　　1. Changes in people's daily expenses in the past five years

　　2. Give possible reasons for the changes.

　　3. Draw my own conclusions

［参考范文］

　　In the past five years, there have been great changes in people’s daily expenses in XX city. According to the figures given in the table, the amount of money spent on food decreased gradually, accounting for 35 per cent in 1998. However, there was a rapid increase in clothing expenses, which made up 17% in 1998. In addition, the table shows an upward tendency in recreation expenses. The same was the case with other expenses.

　　What caused these remarkable changes? In my opinion, there are at least three good reasons. To begin with, with the rapid development of agriculture in China, the output of grain, fruit, vegetables, and milk has sharply increased, which contributes to the decline in their prices. Secondly, the family incomes of people both in the city and in the country have greatly risen so that people now can afford expensive clothing and some of them even want to dress in the latest fashion. Finally, as the living conditions improve, the demand for a variety of recreations is growing steadily, too.

　　In short, with the incomes rising continuously, people are no longer reconciled to living a simple, monotonous life. They are eager to make their life interesting and exciting. Therefore, I am sure that people will spend more money on clothing and recreations.

3、苍蝇落在竖直光滑的玻璃上，不但不滑落，而且还能在上面爬行，这和它脚的构造有关。蟋蟀的耳朵在足的内侧。蝴蝶的翅膀上布满彩色小鳞片，其实是扁平的细毛。This significant growth in the use of computers by students in the 1990’s can be attributed to several factors, including widespread usage, lower prices, and technological and social developments. Nowadays, computers are widely used by students for word processing, book keeping, multimedia presentations, and access to the Internet for both research and communications. Additionally, since 1990, due to competition and technological advances, computer hardware and software prices, as well as Internet usage charges have dropped significantly. Finally, technological developments and changes in social habits in the 1990’s have played a major role in this tremendous growth in the use of computers. Today’s society relies heavily on computers for immediate access to the news and for entertainment, including, listening to music, watching movies and sport events, and playing computer games.

While computers are of great assistance to the students, and therefore, are indispensable tools, they also pose some challenges.

That is to say, students need to use this powerful tool with great wisdom!

With the rapidly developing industry and the ever-increasing population, demand for electricity supply is soaring. Besides, summers in recent years are much hotter than before , so most working places and households are air-conditioned , which consumes additional electricity.

Face with such a hard nut , we have to find ways to crack it . Above all , in western areas China , there is surplus of electricity supply. So , cities that are thirsty for electricity may ask for remote help. Then ,when we have electricity , we should remember to save it . Set your air-conditioners at 27C and you won’t feel less comfortable than when they are at 26C . In fact , some factories already shift their working hours to avoid the peak time of electricity consuming.

五　　Away from Net-bar Campaign 　　

1

.新闻媒体披露，徐州某中学1000多名学生签名，庄严承诺“远离网吧” 　　

2.分析“远离网吧”运动的原因 　

3.作出对比的评论 　　

Away from Net-bar Campaign 　　

It has been reported that a middle school in Xuzhou City has recently launched a campaign named “Away from Net-bar”. More than a thousand students have signed for their solemn promise that they will not spend a single minute in the net-bars. With the nearing of the summer vacation, this campaign is especially meaningful for the healthy development of the minors. 　　

The internet has brought people great convenience in getting information, entertainment and contact with others, and it has also benefited some businessmen, especially the owner of net-bars. While it is true that most net-bars are running legally, it is also true that some are offering unhealthy programs that involve violence and sex content. Since most middle school students are prone to be influenced and they can hardly tell which bars are doing well and which ones are not, it is only advisable that they stay away from all. Besides , staying away from net-bars also does good to students’ physical health. By passively sitting too long in front of the computer screen, both their eyesight and physique suffer. 　　

Obviously , the Away from Net-bars Campaign is an activity that is worth advocating and it merits other schools’ reference

六　　Online Education 　　

1.目前网络教育形成热潮 　　2.我认为这股热潮的的原因是…… 　3.我对网络教育的评价 　　Being online is no longer something strange in our life. To some degree, it has become part of our daily life. We can do a lot of things online, such as searching for information and communicating with friends far and near. But recently another helpful online activity has become very “in”. That is online education. 　　

Why could online education be so popular within such a short period of time? Among other reasons, the quick development of the internet should be an essential one, which makes all our dreams of attending class in the distance possible. Another underlying reason is the quick development of both society and technology. Today ,modern science and technology is developing with lightening speed. To catch up with this development we all feel an urgent and strong desire to study. However , due to the great pace of modern society , many people are too busy to study full time at school. Online education just comes to their aid. 　　

Personally , I appreciate this new form of education. It’s indeed a helpful complement to the traditional educational means. It can provide different learners with more flexible and versatile ways of learning. Most of all ,with online education, we can sick to our jobs and at the same time study and absorb the latest knowledge.　

七　　Air Pollution 　　根据所给的题目和下面的关键词，写一篇120个词左右的短文： 　　health , surrounded by , smog , anything but , gases , impurities , absorb , poisonous , try hard , blacked out 　　

We all know that clean air is important to good health. Wherever you go and whatever you do, you are always surrounded by a sea of gases that we call air. If there are impurities in the air, they may be absorbed by our bodies and make us ill. We need clean air, but unfortunately , air pollution is globally present , especially in cities. 　　

Many large cities are anything but pollution-free. Our cities have many factories, which we need to make food, clothing and other things. Every year these factories pour millions upon millions of tons of smog into air. Power plants and houses that burn coal add greatly to air pollution. Besides , there are more cars in cities now. Once out on the streets, they will take in fresh air and replace it with poisonous gases. 　　

Our country is trying hard to prevent and control air pollution. As long as every citizen also realizes its importance and makes join efforts, the day will come soon when people will take in only clean air. Then , the sunlight will no longer be blackened out by smoke and soot.

I graduated two years form ** University, and obtained a bachelor’s degree in the field of business management.

Upon graduation I engaged with HP China Branch as an assistant to the head of Marketing Department.

九　　To Be a small Fish in a Big Pond or a Big Fish in a Small Pond?

1.在大企业工作的特点　　 2.在小企业工作的特点　　 3.我的选择　

Just as there are distinct differences between being a small fish is a big pond and a big fish in a small pond, so it is with working as a subordinate in a large enterprise and presiding in a small firm. 　　

With the former, you can derive a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known organization such as General Motors, or the Bell Telephone System. You have the opportunities of learning from experienced executives and knowing about the standard working process. 　　

With the latter, you have greater responsibilities and your decision may bring immediate effect. Normally you are expose to various experiences and expected to do a great many thing without much help or guidance. 　　

Personally I prefer to work in a small enterprise, where my prospect of promotion is good as long as I work hard. To tell the truth , I’d rather become a well-known and important figure within my own small pond.

十　　Styles of Living 　　

1.有些人愿意和父母居住在一起 　　2.有些人想自己独立居住 　　3.我的看法 　　Some

people enjoy living together with their parents after they have grown up. They hold the opinion because , living with parents , they can take better care of their parents and vice versa. Meanwhile , they can turn to their parents for help if they get into trouble or have some difficulties. To them, life in a big family seems to be more enjoyable than that in a small family. 　　

Others, however , prefer to live separately. They cherish the idea to be independent of their parents, seek more freedom and wish to have a place of their own, in which they can do what they like. Bedsides , they don’t want to be overprotected by their parents but long for chance to face the society by themselves. 　　

As to me , I like an independent life style in spite of the fact I love my parents. Different generations have different life styles and values. What one generations likes may not be another generation’s fondness. Living separately , each generation can enjoy different value. In addition , by leading an independent life , I can train my character and develop my own ability to deal with things encountered in my life. 　　

十一　　My View on the income Gap 　　

1.收入差距悬殊是当前社会的一种现象 　　2.人们对之褒贬不一 　　3.我的看法 　　

Now the income gap is getting wider and wider. In some privately owned firms, joint-ventures, or foreign-funded companies , an executive’s yearly income is ten times or even a hundred times as much as an ordinary worker’s 　　

Faced with this situation, people will undoubtedly have different opinions. Some believe that it benefits the social and economic development since driving force is often derived from the gap. In other words , the gap inspires people and gives a push to advancement. Other speak of its side effect: income gap is often the root of social unrest and also contrary to our country’s principle. 　　

From my point of view, while it is true that the income may stimulate the social development to some extent, it causes trouble as well. An income gap that is too wide for most people to bear can neither contribute to the stability of a country nor promote its economic development. Therefore , while we are advocating the rapid development of our country , we should tolerate the narrow income gap but narrow the wide one. 　　

十二　　The Teacher-Student Relationship

1.好的师生关系有益于学生的发展 　　

2.不良的师生关系有害于学生的发展 　　

3.我认为…… 　　

A good teacher-student relationship is ab1e to effective1y further the student to a higher level in study. The teacher with patience and understanding encourages the student instead of pushing or forcing him. The relationship of this sort makes learning so enjoyable and funny that the student would work hard willingly. 　　However, a bad relationship seriously weakens the achievement of teaching. It discourages the student from 1earning, leaving him with a wrong and negative attitude towards studying. Thus, teaching also becomes an unpleasant task, which forms a vicious cycle. 　　

As I see it, the relationship between a teacher and a student should be attached much importance to. A good relationship makes the teacher’s job worthwhile while a bad one ill-affects the student’s development, even to the rest of his life.

十三　　Turn off Your Mobile Phone 　　

1.移动电话给我们的生活带来了便利 　　

2.移动电话有时也会影响别人 　　

3.在某些场合请关掉你的手机 　　

With the development of information techno1ogy and reduced price of communication products, the mobi1e phone has become a necessity for most people. Obviously, it shortens the distance between people and makes our life more convenient. Thanks to it, it’s easy for us to contact or be contacted by others anytime and anywhere. We will never miss any important meetings，great deals or admirable opportunities。 　　But，have you noticed sometimes the mobile phone also brings embarrassment to us? It’s not rare to see someone pressing the mobile phone to his ear and shouting 1oud1y in public as if there were no one else present. And I’m sure each one has had such an experience that the mobi1e phone ring continuous1y on a formal occasion. Perhaps these People have many 1ife-and-death reasons to keep the phone working at all times, but it interrupts people around them who have to hear what they don’t care when

they want to concentrate on what they’re doing. 　　

So if you are one of them, please shut off your cell phone in public, especially on a quiet and serious occasion. It’s a respect for both others and yourself. 　　

十四　　Traveling by Train or by Plane 　　

1.我们出远门总要坐火车或飞机 　　

2.坐火车和坐飞机各有什么利弊 　　

3.你的结论如何 　　

When we go on a business trip, we will be faced with the choice of traveling by train or by plane. Before making the right choice，we had better make a close comparison and contrast of them. 　　

First of all, a train will take us to our target railway station. Also, a plane will take us to the target airport， Second, in a train we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the countryside. Likewise, in a plane we can command a good view of fields, buildings, mountains and even plains of clouds. Despite these similarities, they differ in the following aspects. First, a train ticket is cheap. Most of us can afford it. However, a plane ticket is about twice as expensive as a train ticket. Most of us grudge paying for it. Besides, it is safer to travel by train. If the train gets into some trouble, we may survive by jumping out of it. On the contrary, if we travel by plane, we have to ask God to bless us. However, it takes us longer time to travel by train than by plane. 　　

Therefore, it depends which transportation tool we should choose. If we just want to save money，we will travel by train; but if we want to save time, we will turn to the plane. 　　

十五　　

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter. Suppose you are Jill. Write a letter to your friend Li Fang. You should write at least 120 words according to the situation given below in Chinese: 　　假设你的好朋友李芳是大学四年级学生，正在考虑是考研究生继续深造还是大学毕业后就踏上工作岗位。请给她写封信表明你的态度。 　　

Dear Fang, 　　

I understand that you are in a dilemma. Although so many graduates are eager to set feet on their work-life road, there are still some who prefer to start their new life after gaining another degree to make better preparation for entering society. In my opinion, the latter are more admirable. You are good at all your course these years, so if you do like to spend another two or three years on campus, you should stick to it. In today's society, the achievement and status you can get and the devotion you can make are no doubt in proportion to your educational background and degrees, coupled with the efforts you put in them. If you want to stride to your destinations more smoothly and easily, why not head for the further study courageously? 　　

Whichever you choose, I firmly believe your industry will ensure your success. After all, it is you who have the finally say on the final choice. 　　

Best wishes,

Tobacco is one of the commodities that are consumed in an immense amount worldwide. From the pictures, we can learn that the global smoking population amounts to 1.1 billion, approximately 20% of all the worlds’ residents. 200 billion dollars are spent annually in order to purchase tobacco and relevant products, which further stimulate the business’ flourishing development. Meanwhile, the harm caused by tobacco consumption is experiencing a similar upward trend—statistics indicates that 3,000,000 people die of smoking and related diseases every year.

Nevertheless, given the pessimistic statistics at the present, we can still predict optimistically that tobacco consumption will decline based on several new tendencies that are emerging. In the first place, there is an extensive public awareness of the negative impact of smoking, and as a result, more people resist the tempetation of cigarettes. In the second place, governments are setting more regulations to limit tobacco production. The effectiveness of such a policy was testified by the prompt drop of the tobacco production from 14.364 billion in 1994 pounds to 14.2 billion pounds in 1995 as seen in the picture.

In short, I firmly believe that, with the efforts of the whole society, we can launch more movements to realize a cleaner world with less smoking.

译文：

烟草是一种在全世界有着巨大消费量的商品。从图中我们可以看出，全世界的烟民已经到达了11亿，约占全世界总人口的20%。人们每年花在购买烟草以及相关产品的费用就达20亿美元，进一步促进了烟草业的繁荣。同时，烟草消费带来的危害也日益增长——统计数据显示每年有300万人死于由抽烟引起的相关疾病。

尽管目前的数据非常悲观，但是从一些新的趋势中，我们可以乐观地预测烟草消费将会有所下降。首先，公众普遍意识到了抽烟的负面效应，因此，越来越多的人拒绝烟瘾。其次，各国政府正在制定各项措施限制烟草的生产。图中显示烟草生产从1994年的143.64亿磅下降到了1995年的14.2亿磅，这就证明了政府措施的有效性。

总而言之，我坚信在全社会的努力下，我们可以发起更多的运动，来实现一个更干净的无烟世界。

2.知识分子健康差寿命短

范文：

The picture depicts a typical Chinese scholar who keeps working late at night, while the presence of his wife and child behind clearly indicates the man’s pressure of supporting a whole family. What is strikingly noticeable is the scholar’s exceptional skinniness, but it can be easily explained by the simple food, bottles of medicine, and poor working environment shown in the picture.

The discernable unhealthiness of this hard-working scholar discloses a prevalent phenomenon that has long existed in China’s academia. Intellectuals are not highly respected and they enjoy unsatisfactory material benefits with particularly unattractive salaries due to low social position. In addition, family, social, and academic stresses are so immensely exerted on intellectuals that they are forced to work diligently and ceaselessly. As a result, the integration of poor living conditions and work pressure leads naturally to their poor health and short life-span, just as the picture shows us.

The situation is rather depressing because intellectuals in fact contribute greatly to our country’s development, and it is largely owing to their painstaking efforts that pave the way for advancement and prosperity. To solve this problem, I think there should be a thriving social trend of showing respect to knowledge and intellects, and those who endeavor to explore new knowledge should be rewarded with good living and working conditions.

这幅图刻画了一个典型的中国知识分子的形象，他一直工作到深夜，背后的妻子和孩子显示了他有着很大的养家的压力。值得我们注意的是这个学者格外削瘦，但这很容易通过图中简单的食物、药罐以及较差的工作环境得到解释。

这个勤奋学者的不健康状况显示出中国学术界一个长期存在的现象。一方面，知识分子没有受到尊重，他们享受的物质条件也非常差，尤其是由于他们的社会地位很低，他们的工资也相应地非常少。另一方面，知识分子们承担着巨大的家庭、社会和学术压力，导致他们被迫非常勤奋地不停地工作。因此，恶劣的生活条件和巨大的工作压力自然导致他们较差的健康和较短的寿命，正如图中告诉我们的那样。

这种情况非常令人失望，因为知识分子实际上对我们国家的发展做出了巨大的贡献，而且正是因为他们的不懈努力引向了我国的发达和繁荣。为了解决这个问题，我认为全社会要掀起尊重知识、尊重知识分子的高潮，而那些辛勤地探索新知识的人们应该得到较好的工作和生活环境等回报。

3.职业道德类

The cartoon presents a hen singing proudly about her promise of producing good-quality eggs. However, a quick glance at her words reveals ironically that the so-called “promise”—round eggs composed of the three necessary parts of shell, white and yolk—is, as a matter of fact, what a hen is supposed to produce.

The hen mirrors a phenomenon that permeates our society, that is, businesses utilize the basic features of their products and services as the selling points for their advertisement campaigns. These “beautiful promises” tend to shape a false impression in the consumers’ mind that the products and services are of extraordinary characteristics. In this sense, the promise of one’s own responsibility is like a method of cheating, and is quite against professional morals, although there is no evidence of dishonesty if the words are examined literally.

In my point of view, other than promising what one should do, the secret for business success is to have the consumers understand what extra advantages they would be provided with. Such an initiative can push businesses to conduct profound research, dedicate themselves to innovation, and concentrate on quality improvement and perfection, thus leading to healthy industry development and positive social effects. Consequently, businesses themselves are surely to benefit more from a wholesome market environment.

这幅漫画显示了一只母鸡正在骄傲地高歌其生产的优质鸡蛋。可是瞥一眼她说的话，我们就能发现所谓的“承诺”—即下蛋不见棱角，保证蛋皮、蛋清和蛋黄—其实是任何母鸡应该做的事情。

这只母鸡反映了现在社会上普遍存在的一个典型现象，即一些商家在广告中故意用产品和服务的基本特征来作为宣传的噱头。这些“美丽的承诺”给消费者们造成了虚假的印象，使他们认为面对着的产品和服务拥有一些非凡的特点。从这个意义上来说，对于自己本该履行的责任的承诺就好像商业欺骗，违反了职业道德，尽管从字面上来说没有欺诈的痕迹。

我认为，商业成功的秘密不在于承诺做自己应该做的事情，而是应该让消费者得到额外的好处。这会促使企业加大和深入研究工作、致力于创新、关注产品质量的提高和完善，从而取得健康的产业发展和积极的社会效应。商家自身也会因此从一个更加健康的市场环境中得到更多的好处。

4.人口增长类

Currently, there is a widespread concern about the previously neglected connection between growing human population and decreasing wild species. As the two graphs obviously portrayed, American population in 1980 was 250 times than that in 1800, a trend accompanied by the extinction of nearly 70 kinds of wildlife in the past 300 years. A clear correlation is suggested that mankind has exerted a tremendously negative influence on natural species.

There are many factors responsible for the aforementioned tendency. First and foremost, to satisfy the space demand for the booming population, the only available solution for Americans is to take occupation of forests and grassland. that used to be habitat of wild animals and plants. Furthermore, the process of industrialization and urbanization has generated severe pollution that essentially destroys environment and ecosystem.

In my point of view, the dearth of wildlife today forecasts an unpromising future for humans tomorrow. In order to eliminate species extinction, relevant laws and regulations must be established and enforced to maintain a large portion of unspoiled areas. Effective measures should also be applied to ensure that the impact of pollution be removed.

译文：

近来人们开始普遍关注以前被忽略的人口增长和自然物种减少之间的关系。正如两幅图表显示，1980年的美国人口是1900年的250倍，同时在过去的300年间大约有70种野生生物在美国灭绝。这清楚地表明人类给自然物种带来了巨大的负面影响。

以上趋势是由诸多原因造成的。首先，为了满足迅速增长的人口对于空间的需求，对于美国人来说最有效的解决办法就是占据森林、草原等其他动植物的天堂。此外，工业化和城市化的进程造成了严重的污染，在根本上摧毁了环境和生态系统。

我认为，今天野生生物生命权的被剥夺预示着将来人类并不明朗的前景。为了减少物种灭绝，应该制定相关的法律法规、强制保护更多的地区保持其原始状态。应该采取有效的措施来减少污染的影响。

5.环境保护类背诵

范文：

The picture unveils a drastic change of ocean ecology during the past  century due to the expanding scale of world commercial fishing. There were few fishing ships on the sea in 1900 when an enormous number of fish swam freely; in contrast, in 1995 a large fleet of ships were endeavoring to search for the only fish in the sea.

The tremendous contrast presented by the drawing alarmingly reminds us of the detrimental deterioration of oceanic ecosystem by the greediness of mankind. The industry of commercial fishing had undergone a booming expansion along with the growing public awareness of the merits of seafood, which made fishing unusually profitable. Lacking knowledge regarding the significance of ecological balance, businessmen sent out ships that insatiably chased fishes and thus posed a severe threat to all life in the sea. However, this trend may in turn endanger humankind.

To prevent the exhaustion of ocean resources, governments should unite to work out effective measures against commercial fishing. For instance, there should be limitations on fishing time and location so as to reduce the exploitation of the sea. Moreover, people also call for laws and regulations that are responsible for punishing excessive fishing. Last but not the least, the public attachment to the importance of balance preservation would play a decisive role in saving ocean species from extinction.

译文：

该图显示出20世纪以来由于全球商业捕鱼业的大规模扩张而导致海洋生态系统的巨大变化。1900年的时候海上只有一艘船，而海里有许许多多鱼儿在自由地遨游；相反，到了1995年，海上有许多渔船，它们都在努力寻找海里仅剩的一条鱼。

该图所显示出来的巨大反差使我们警醒地意识到人们的贪婪给海洋生态系统造成了巨大的破坏。随着公众意识到了海鲜食品的价值，商业捕鱼也在不断扩张，而且有着十分高的利润率。由于商人们缺少对于生态平衡的认识，他们的渔船无休止地捕鱼，给海洋生物的生存造成了巨大的威胁。但是，这个趋势可能最终会反过来威胁到人类自己的生存。

为了防止海洋资源的枯竭，各个政府必须联合起来，对商业捕鱼采取有效的措施。例如，为了防止过度捕捞，可以限制捕鱼的时间和地点。此外，人们还呼吁制定更多的法律法规来惩罚过度捕捞。最后，公众对于保持生态平衡重要性的认识对于拯救濒临灭绝的海洋生物起到了决定性的作用。

6.情感类背诵

范文：

The light of an oil lamp is approximately insignificant in the daytime; however, the darker the environment is, the more brilliant it seems, just as is depicted in the picture. The importance of love, to some extent, can be interpreted according to a similar logic—love is more precious when it is given to those who are in difficulties and adversities.

To specify this statement, I would like to take Kong Fansen as an example. Kong, instead of settling for his comfortable official position in the rich and well-off Province of Shandong, volunteered to serve in a most backward area in Tibet where the weather is notoriously abominable. Kong was consistently dedicated to the fulfillment of the principle of “serving the people”, and he always appeared at the most critical moments of local residents’ hardship and impediment. Freezing as it was in Tibet, Kong’s love and care largely warmed people’s hearts.

Kong’s story, suggest that the best practice to show love is to help those who are in need. We should always be ready to provide assistance to others, even if it is merely minor things like listening to others’ troubles. A little of our generosity might brighten the whole world of the unfortunate.

译文：

一盏灯的灯光在白天的时候是无关紧要的；但是，当周围环境越黑的时候，灯光就显得越明亮，就像图中所示的那样。在某种程度上，爱的重要性可以用相同的逻辑来进行解释——当人们处于困难或者逆境中的时候，他们得到的爱就越珍贵。

为了具体说明这个问题，我将以孔繁森作为一个例子。孔繁森没有在富裕和小康的山东省满足于其领导岗位，而是主动要求去西藏一个气候恶劣的落后地区服务。他坚持致力于实现“为人民服务”的原则，总是在当地群众遇到困难的关键时刻出现。虽然西藏严寒无比，但孔繁森的关爱却温暖了人们的心。

孔繁森的故事告诉了我们，给予爱的最好方式就是帮助那些需要帮助的人。我们应该随时给予别人帮助，即使只是做一些小事情，诸如倾听别人述说烦恼。我们的一份慷慨也许会点亮不幸的人们那灰暗的世界。

闪光词汇及词组：

7.文化交流类背诵

范文：

It is a very eye-catching photo in which an American girl is content in showing her traditional Chinese costume. She fits perfectly in the well-decorated hat, earrings, and splendid robe that apparently originate from a Southern Chinese ethnic group. What makes this picture extraordinary is the girl’s moving smile, which clearly indicates a westerner’s recognition and appreciation of Chinese culture.

The sense of harmony that permeates this picture is representative of a new global tendency, that is, people of different nations begin to seek profound mutual understanding and friendly communication. As a result, cultures become international. China, in particular, unveils its previously mysterious image to the rest of the world by its open policy, and thus provides foreigners with the access of a rich and diversified gallery of traditional Chinese culture. The effect of such communication can be best exemplified by the recent years’ fashion to celebrate the traditional Chinese new year—the Spring Festival globally.

While people belong to nations, cultures know no boundary. The contemporary globalization is not only featured by frequent international trades, economic and political exchanges, but more importantly, by global citizens’ awareness and comprehension of the cultures in the world. I firmly believe that the blend of cultures is contributing, and will contribute more, to world peace, development, and prosperity.

译文：

这是一幅非常吸引人的照片，上面一位美国姑娘在非常满意地展示她的中式服装。这套服装包括了有着多彩装饰的帽子、耳环和漂亮的袍子，很显然是来自中国南方少数民族的传统服饰，女孩穿着非常合身。令这张照片显得非常特别的是这个美国女孩的动人笑容，体现出她对中国文化的认可和欣赏。

弥漫在这幅照片中的那种和谐氛围是当今一个全球潮流的典型代表，即来自不同国家的人们开始寻找彼此间深入的理解和友好的交流，因此，文化变得更加国际化。特别是中国正在揭开其先前的神秘面纱，通过对外开放政策向世界展示自己，为外国人提供了解丰富和多样的中国传统文化的途径。这种交流的效果的最好例证就是在近年来，全球兴起了一个新的流行趋势，那就是庆祝中国的传统新年——春节。

人们都属于不同的国家，但是文化是没有国界的。当代全球化的特点不仅仅只是更频繁的国际贸易、经济以及政治上的交流，而更重要的是全世界人民对于世界上各种文化的认识和理解。我坚信各种文化的融合正在给，也将会给世界的和平、发展和繁荣做出越来越多的贡献。

范文：

As the title indicates, “greenhouse flowers cannot survive unpleasant weather”, the set of pictures apparently reminds us that excessive protection only leads to negative results. When a flower blossoms in the greenhouse despite of the external rain and thunder, it withers immediately once being moved out of its cozy haven.

Children in China are always compared to “the flowers of our motherland”. It is alarming that a large portion of them are in danger of experiencing a similar misfortune to the flower in the picture. This is partly attributed to the birth of a generation of “only children”, who are quite pampered and spoiled by their parents. Leading a life full of success, love and sweetness, these children are quite ignorant of failure, hardship, and the taste of tears that abound in real life. Therefore, when they leave home, they might be overly sensitive to frustration and easily suffer depression that prevents them from a happy and promising future.

This type of child is not what we hope for the future of our country. On the contrary, we need to nurture a generation that is fully prepared for independent life, so that it is ready to confront any challenge, adapt to changes of environment, and survive the heated competition in today’s world.

译文：

正如该图的题目所显示的那样，“温室里的花朵经不起风雨”，这组图画清楚地告诉我们过度的保护只会导致负面的结果。当外面打雷下雨的时候，一朵花却能在温室中生机勃勃地开放。可是一旦离开了这个舒适的避难所来到外面的时候，这朵花立刻就凋谢了。

在中国，孩子经常被比作“祖国的花朵”。但是，令人担忧的是很多孩子有可能经历图中花朵的不幸。部分原因可以归结为“独生子女”一代的出生，这些孩子都被他们的父母惯坏了。他们的生活中只充满了成功、爱和甜蜜，而他们都不懂什么是失败、艰难，也很少尝过眼泪的滋味，但是实际生活中却是充满了失败、艰难和眼泪的。因此，他们可能会对挫折过于敏感、也很容易及沉湎于忧郁，使他们在踏入社会以后没有一个幸福和充满前景的未来。

这一类孩子决不是我们国家未来需要的人才。相反，我们需要培育一代能够独立生活的孩子，他们随时准备面对任何挑战、随时适应环境的变化、并能够在现代社会的激烈竞争中生存下来。

范文：

The picture presents a young runner who just finishes a long run and arrives at the finish line, sweating and smiling. While he stand at the end, a sign stating “beginning” lies not far away from his position, indicating that “an end means a new beginning”.

It is true that when a runner reaches the end of one race, he needs to realize that his immediate task is how to achieve the next goal, instead of indulging the past glory and accomplishment. The identical truth applies to every individual, organization, and nation, that setting new goals continuously is the source of advancement.

The deaf and mute American girl Helen Keller is a typical example of our case, as she had spent her whole life struggling and striving for one goal after another. It is not surprising that she finally turned out to be an excellent writer. Equally, businesses and industries should keep setting new tasks in order to preserve their competitiveness. Microsoft, for instance, never ceases creating new products the company launched Vista, Office 2007 and Exchange Server recently though it is already being such a huge conglomerate. In short, it is non-stop efforts that lead to progress.

译文：

该图展示了一个运动员刚完成一场赛跑、达到终点，他满头大汗但是却非常满意地微笑着。在他所站的终点标志附近，该图标出了“起点”的标志，说明了“终点是新的起点”。

确实，当一个运动员跑到终点的时候，他必须马上意识到他的下一个任务是达到新的目标，而不是沉湎于过去的荣耀和成就。同样的道理也适用于每一个个人、组织、以及国家，即不断地设立新的目标才能不断地前进。

聋哑的美国女孩海伦.凯勒是这方面的一个典型例子，因为她一生都在为一个接一个的目标而努力和奋斗。因此，她最后变成了一个优秀的作家并不令人惊讶。同样的，工商界如果想要保持它们的竞争力，就要不断地为自己设立新任务。例如，微软公司作为如此大型的一个集团，也从来没有停止创造新产品的脚步，该公司在最近发布了Vista, Office 2007 和Exchange Server三大产品。总的来说，永不停止的努力才能引领进步和发展。

This picture shows a critical moment that can occur in any soccer game—a players is about to kick the ball while the keeper is fully ready for the attack. Interestingly, the player and the keeper are experiencing quite opposite psychological processes: the player thinks the task is extremely difficult as the goal is quite small compared with the huge keeper, while the latter fears that the goal is too enormous for him to protect.

It is conspicuously indicated that in order to gain confidence and achieve success, we not only need to attain a thorough understanding of ourown merits and disadvantages of ourselves, but also those aspects of our opponents. Both the player and the keeper merely focus on their own faults and their counterparts’ advantages, leading to their hesitation at the key time.

In a recent interview of hurdler Liu Xiang, he revealed that his success is partly owed to his training team’s study of his strong competitors around the world, so that he can learn from the others and is more confident when facing any new race. Just as the ancient Chinese philosophical book The Art of War concludes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you’ll never lose a battle.

译文：

该图展示的是一场足球比赛中的关键时刻——一个球员正准备要进球，而守门员正全力准备回击这次进攻。有趣的是，球员和守门员正在经历相反的心理历程：球员认为这项任务非常艰巨，因为球门如此之小而守门员长得高达威猛；守门员却害怕球门太大而他自己太渺小，很难保护球门。

这幅图告诉我们，为了取得信心、达到胜利，我们不仅要对自己的优缺点有充分的了解，而且还要对对手的优缺点有充分了解。但是，图中的球员和守门员只想到了自己的缺点和对手的优点，因此在关键时刻踌躇不前。

在对著名中国运动员刘翔的一个最近的采访中，他透露了自己的成功部分归功于他的训练队详细研究了他在世界各国的对手们的特点，因此他可以学习他人的优点，于是面对比赛的时候更有信心。就像中国古代著名的兵书《孙子兵法》总结的那样，知己知彼，百战不殆。

11.家庭关系类背诵

范文：

The cartoon displays a very special and thought-provoking soccer game: the four goals are kept by an old man’s three sons and one daughter, while the old man himself becomes the ball, being kicked among the four corners by his “beloved” children. It is clearly indicated that none of them is willing to spare a tiny portion of time and money to repay their old father who have raised them.

Through the artistic presentation, we can be easily reminded of a popular phenomenon in today’s society, that is, disrespect towards elders and shirking of the responsibility of nursing aging parents. The boosting economic development in China sadly witnesses a deterioration of the public awareness of filial duty, which had taken an indispensable position in traditional Chinese values for thousands of years. However, as the society grows more benefit-oriented, the once unbroken bond between parents and children is fundamentally shaken and begins to collapse.

In my point of view, the trend goes quite against the genuine and original purpose of our pursuit of wealth and welfare, that is, to shape a rich life both materially and mentally. Thinking of the love we received from our parents when swaggering babies, we must realize that repaying parents by a happy life with financial and psychological support is not only a duty that should not be shrugged off, but a key element to achieve a harmonious society.

译文：

这幅漫画展示了一场特殊而又发人深省的足球赛：四个球门由一个老人的三个儿子和一个女儿分别把守，而老人自己则是那个足球，在四个角落之间被他“亲爱的”孩子们踢来踢去。很显然，哪个孩子都不愿意花一点点时间和金钱来报答曾经抚育他们成长的老父亲。

这幅图以艺术的方式提醒我们当今社会的一个普遍现象，那就是人们对老人的不尊敬、以及逃避赡养父母的责任。中国经济的迅速发展却带来了人们孝顺意识减退，这是让人悲哀的、也极具讽刺意味，因为赡养老人的责任在中国几千年的传统价值中占有重要的地位。但是，随着社会上追求利益的风气日益盛行，父母和子女之间那种曾经无法割裂的关系却受到了根本性的动摇。

我认为这种趋势与我们追求财富和利益的初衷是违背的，我们的目的是达到物质和精神的双丰收。想一想当我们还是蹒跚学步的孩子时父母曾给我们的爱，我们应该意识到回报给父母金钱和精神上的幸福生活不仅仅是我们无法推却的责任，也是我们实现和谐社会的重要因素。

范文：

The two pictures illustrate vividly the popularity of the famous British soccer star David Beckham. In the left picture a man painted Beckham’s name on his face to show his support for Beckham, while in the right another is willing to spend three hundred yuan to have a hairstyle that is exactly the same as Beckham’s.

From the two pictures we can sense a crazy tendency of idol worship in today’s China. Star fans, the majority of whom are teenagers and young adults, are used to blindly following every aspect of celebrities’ behavior, accepting both positive and negative influences as universal truths. Aside from Beckham, another telling example is the nation-wide “Super-Girl competitions” held in past two years in China. They were so successful in drawing fans’ attention and emotions that the ups and downs of the “super girls” had almost constituted the whole lives of their frenetic followers.

Admittedly, it is natural that those cool and fashionable stars seem attractive to the youth. Nevertheless, it is the responsibility of our government and society to guide young people in building a wholesome outlook towards the world and life. In my opinion, what’s most important is to have them adore worthy values and qualities, such as honesty, diligence, and persistence.

译文：

这两幅图生动地展现了英国足球明星贝克汉姆的受欢迎程度。在左边的图中一个男人把贝克汉姆的名字醒目地写在脸上以显示对小贝的支持，右边的这幅图中另一个人愿意花300元钱做一个和贝克汉姆一样的发型。

从这两幅图中我们可以看到在当今中国疯狂的偶像崇拜趋势。追星族大多数都是青少年和年轻人，他们盲目地模仿名人各个方面的行为，并把名人的正面和负面影响都当作普遍适用的真理。除了贝克汉姆，另一个生动的例子就是在过去的两年中盛行于中国的“超女比赛”，这场比赛成功地调动了追星族们的注意力和情感，以至于“超女”们的起伏跌宕几乎构成了那些狂热歌迷们的全部生活。

诚然，既酷又时髦的明星对年轻人有很大的吸引力。但是，政府和社会有责任指导年轻人们建立健康的世界观和人生观。我认为最重要的是让年轻人追求更有价值的品质，如诚实、勤奋、坚持不懈等。

英语六级易考范文:On College Students Supporting Rural Construction 论大学生支持农村建设

Nowadays, college graduates are encouraged to find jobs in rural area to support itsconstruction, such as village officials, agriculture technicians, teachers, etc.

As estimated, the number of students who have got jobs in rural area is on the rise.

Several factors lead to the phenomenon.

Firstly, there is an urgent need of brains in the countryside.

Actually, the root of poverty in those regions is the lack of knowledge.

Therefore, talents importing is the first step to the success of the development.

Secondly, with the expansion of college enrollment, the job market becomes more and morecompetitive.

Graduates find themselves difficult to get a satisfactory job in the urban area, especially in bigcities.

Thirdly, government’s call arouses many graduates’ patriotism and enthusiasm to join therural construction.

As for me, I am proud of those students who have devoted themselves to the ruralconstruction.

I firmly believe that with the great efforts of the government and the student workers, therural region will be well developed and become better off in the near future.

英语六级易考范文： Internet and Privacy 互联网和隐私

Internet is playing a more important role in our life.

We work with it, giving and receiving orders; we communicate with it, through e-mail, on-line phone, or MSN; we entertain with it, playing games, watching movies, and enjoying music; we study with it, looking for and exchanging information; we live with it, doing shopping and banking.

Besides, we can log on to the Internet on campus, in a bar, at home, or in a hotel, almostanywhere anytime.

However, if we want to enjoy the service, we have to register with many websites, typing in our name, age, gender, address, andtelephone number.

And these become part of contents stored on-line.

With the “professional” hackers, despiteful and harmless, as well as irresponsible websiteadministrators, the information might be stolen and made open and even sold.

A case in point is the junk mails.

A better example is the privacy of pop stars.

As a result, while enjoying the great convenience and speed of Internet, we are called sometimes by strangers, visited by promotions and junk ads, and cheated bysomeone unexpectedly.

Therefore, think twice before deciding to register on-line.

英语六级易考范文:My View on Keeping Pets 我对养宠物的看法

Recently, more and more people begin to keep pets.

They argue that keeping pets brings severaladvantages.

First, a pet is a good companion, especially to oldand lonely people.

Second, a pet in the family can always bringamusement and entertainment.

What’s more, getting on well with pets could make aperson more careful, considerate and responsible.

Keeping pets also brings many problems.

To begin with, we have heard too many instances of pets, such as dogs and cats, injuringpeople.

Once bitten, the victim should receive treatment as soon as possible.

Moreover, pets may also spread diseases because they cannot be always clean.

Finally, many pets are too expensive to keep.

We must be surprised to know how much it costs to buy and keep a rare dog.

From what has been discussed above, we can see clearly that the disadvantages are moreobvious.

The government should control the total number of pets, and the owner should take care of hispet lest it pollute the environment or spread diseases or even attack people.

如何来获取幸福

范文参考：

As an old saying goes, “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.” Why is difficult to define, or rather discover and achieve happiness? I maintain the major determinant lies in a person's attitudes.

There is little correlation? between the circumstance of people's lives and how happy they are. Instead, happiness lies in the struggle to be happy. To demonstrate, people sometimes go to extremes?, and frantically pursue money, power, high social status, and so on, which are all symbols of success—but never of happiness. Perhaps if they shifted their life's goal from ultimate success to unswerving efforts and to a confidence that they will be successful one day they would be a great deal happier.

Besides defining it, how do I achieve happiness? There is little doubt that? various people have diverse ways of going about this task. As for me, the most significant secret is realizing that happiness is a

by-product of something else. The most obvious sources are those pursuits that give our lives a purpose. These can be anything from playing tennis to studying insects. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are likely to experience.

做志愿者的好处 The Benefits of Volunteering

Every day, we can see the figures of the volunteers. Actually, they have formed a kind of scenery of the city. Some people hold that volunteering is merely a waste of time, because the volunteers have no

gains with pains. However, I believe that doing voluntary is quiter awarding.

每天，我们都能看到许多的志愿者，事实上，他们已经成为城市的一道风景线了。有些人认为做志愿者就是单纯地浪费时间，因为做志愿者是只有付出没有回报的。然而，我相信做志愿者还是有一定回报的。

In the first place, we can put into practice what we have learnt before, for instance, when we were asked by a foreigner about the way to some place, we could practice our oral foreign language, it’s definitely a good opportunity to express ourselves in a foreign language correctly and clearly.

首先，我们可以把以前学过的东西付诸实践。例如，如果外国人向我们问路，我们就能练习口语，这肯定是一个用外语清楚地自我表达的好机会。

In the second place, we could make a lot of new friends while we are volunteering As a proverb says, “At home one relies on one’s parents and outside on one’s friends”, so it is never a bad thing to have lots of friends.

第二，做志愿者的时候可以交到很多新朋友。正如谚语所说的，在家靠父母,在外靠朋友。所以，拥有很多朋友永远都不会是件坏事.

Finally, helping others is a good way to make you feel happy and when you help others solve a problem successful, you will feel fulfillment. In this sense, we reap a bountiful spiritual harvest by doing voluntary work.

最后，帮助别人是获得快乐的好方法，当你帮别人成功的解决问题的时候，你会有成就感。从这种角度来看,做志愿者可以丰富我们的精神。.

On the whole, we can benefit a lot by engaging ourselves in the voluntary work. Therefore, I suggest those that have abundant spare time registering as volunteers for the welfare for the public.

总之，从事志愿工作可以让我们从中获得很多好处。因此，我建议那些业余时间充足的人可以去做志愿者，为社会谋利。

该不该买房

There is a heated debate on the importance ofbuying a house with the soaring house prices. Those emphasizing the in^ortance of buyiog ahouse

maintain that living in your bwn house makes you feel better and more comfortable compared to that in a rented one. Besides, no investment is more rewarding than buying ahouse nowadays. Statistics from both home and abroad shows that owning a houseguarantees an increase in assets.

Quite the contrary, many people say, buying a house is not that important. On one hand,a rented apartment can provide the same comfortable or even better life for people. This isespecially true when many people have no money to decorate their houses after the bigpurchase. On the other hand, peopk can spend more money on other more protitableinvestment than involving in real estate, such as buying stocks or other art poliections.

旅行的好处 Advantages of Travel

Travel is beneficial to us in at least three ways. First, by traveling we can enjoy the beautiful scenery in different places. We will see with our own eyes many places read of in books, and visit some famous cities and scenic spots.

Second, we will meet people with different interests and see strange and different things when we travel. We can get ideas of the conditions and customs of other people, taste different foods and local flavours if we like. In this way, we can understand how differently other people live.

Third, travel will not only help us to gain knowledge of geography and history and other knowledge, which will arouse our deep love for our motherland, but also will help us keep healthy and make u s less narrow-minded . Travel does benefit us both mentally and physically .

With all these advantages of travel, it is no wonder that travel has now become more popularthan ever in China.

The lack of sleep always happens among young people, and most of them expect to make up sleep on weekends, but even they do so, it still hurts their body, for the irregular lifestyle in most of the time. I used to staying up playing computer games or watching TV series at midnight. After a week, I found my skin became darker and there came some freckles.

Topic 1: My View on the Post-graduate Craze

 

Every year, millions of college students

sit in for the post-graduate entrance examination.

More and more students regard

the pursuing of a master's degree

as an indispensable part of their education.

Why are students so enthusiastic

about obtaining a post-graduate diploma?

First, it is the demand of the time.

In an age of knowledge updating and information explosion,

what we have learned in college

can hardly meet the demand of society.

Whereas, those equipped with the latest knowledge and skills,

especially those with a master degree,

are badly needed.

Second, we all recognize that

the more education we have,

the more likely we are to succeed.

Compared with those without a master degree,

post-graduates enjoy more preferential treatment,

for example, better salaries,

or more opportunities for training and promotion.

A post-graduate degree can sometimes

guarantee a more promising career.

Last but not least,

with the graduation of a large number of college students,

competition for jobs becomes more and more fierce.

One way to gain some advantage over others

is to have a higher academic degree.

So no wonder millions of students

will consider pursuing a post-graduate degree.

As for me, I would like to join them

to study for a higher degree,

taking the above-mentioned advantages into consideration.

 

 

Topic 2: Should We Help Strangers?

 

Helping strangers has always been considered

a treasured virtue of human kind.

On the one hand,

we need help from others throughout our life,

no matter when we travel to other places or stay at home.

On the other hand,

helping others brings us tremendous happiness.

We feel great joy

when we are trusted and needed by others.

Therefore, it is highly recommended

that we help strangers when possible.

However, some people are cautious

and would rather not help strangers

because it can sometimes put us into trouble.

They say some strangers are just cheats

who pretend to be pitiful

in order to take advantage of our sympathy.

Helping them would put us in danger.

Furthermore, sometimes we are not able

to provide the help needed.

For example, if we can't swim,

it is dangerous to help someone being drowned.

In my opinion, we should still try our best to help strangers

if possible,

though we should also learn to protect ourselves

from being harmed in the process.

 

 

Topic 3: On TV Shows

 

Nowadays, TV shows are very popular.

TV programs like Super Girls and Dreams in China

have attracted thousands of people to participate,

and many more wait to watch them

when they are on show.

Why are so many people interested in such programs?

Advocates say that these programs provide

excellent opportunities for young people

to express themselves and to show their speciality.

They help improve young people's self-confidence

and can encourage them to face challenges.

However, some people criticize these programs,

arguing that they are not only a waste of energy,

money and time,

but also a revelation of social vanity.

A lot of teenagers do not want to continue their study,

and instead dream of becoming rich and famous overnight.

In my opinion, we needn't be too critical

about such TV programs.

If they can bring happiness to those participants

as well as to the audience,

they are entitled to prosper.

 

 

Topic 4: Please Be Punctual

 

With the advent of the era of knowledge economy,

time is treasured by an increasing number of people.

However, many young people attach little importance

to punctuality,

which, in my opinion,

will give rise to many problems.

First, you may impress other people

as being unreliable and dishonest.

When you are late for a job interview,

the boss may refuse to give you the chance

since people tend to assume that

if you cannot fulfill your promise,

you have no sense of responsibility and can do nothing well.

Second, others may think that you show no respect to them.

If you are late for an appointment,

the person you keep waiting may think

that the appointment is of no importance to you

and you are a person who is not considerate of others' time.

Therefore, university students should learn that

punctuality is a good habit.

Being punctual,

you are showing respect to others and,

in return, you will win others' respect and trust.

 

 

Topic 5: Should College Students Own Credit Cards?

 

Some banks begin to offer credit cards to college students,

which raises a general debate.

People's views on the issue vary.

Some people believe that credit card

not only makes students' life more convenient,

but also gives them a good opportunity

to develop a sound sense of financing.

Furthermore, it can help them establish a good credit record.

However, others think the disadvantages

weigh much more than the advantages.

They argue that credit card invites students

to become lavish spenders.

Students may spend well beyond their means

and end up in debt that they can't pay off.

What's more, since interest rates are often high

and penalties are severe

if one fails to pay on time,

students may gradually become "credit card slaves"

and can hardly focus on their academic life.

There is probably something true in both arguments,

but the credit card in itself is neither good nor bad.

Perhaps a happy medium is to get a credit card

that has a certain credit limit.

 

 

Topic 6: Does Higher Education Cease to Be Useful?

 

Disappointment is prevailing

among Chinese university graduates.

In spite of four-year diligent study,

some of them still have difficulty in landing a decent job

on today's tight job market.

Doubts about the function of higher education

arise among youngsters.

What does higher education bring to us?

First of all, academic lectures and research endow students

with more insights into the nature of the world and society,

and nurture good methods of dealing with problems

they would encounter anytime in the future.

Moreover, social activities and field trips

are necessary preparations for future careers.

In this way, youngsters will learn to regard highly

the value of cooperation and interpersonal skills.

Lastly, the climate of freedom at college

facilitates the cultivation of independence,

which will doubtlessly be of help to career success.

Therefore the point is not

whether higher education is useful,

but how to make full use of the four years in university.

Perhaps a good command of foreign languages,

or if possible, a minor degree in other fields,

would render you a more competitive candidate

on the job market.

 

 

Topic 7: Mobile Phone Uses Should Be Restricted in Library

 

The improper use of mobile phones is becoming

increasingly serious in the library.

Many students are found talking loudly on phones

or taking a phone in audible ringing mode into the library.

There is no doubt that those poor manners

have a negative impact on library users.

For one thing, mobile phones are a distraction for those users,

for they can hardly focus on reading.

For another, such behavior causes disturbance to other people.

It's very important for the users to maintain a quiet atmosphere

since the library is a place for study and research.

Restriction to mobile phone uses in the library

helps to create an excellent atmosphere

and does good to all library users.

So all students should comply with library regulations

and keep quiet in the library.

If they do need to use mobile phones,

they can set their mobile phones in the silence mode

and make phone calls in designated areas,

such as restrooms,

photocopier rooms and the elevator area.

 

 

Topic 8: My View on Dual Degrees

 

 

Many undergraduates in China are now keen on

working for dual degrees.

For example,

English majors may also major in Economics,

and some students can work for majors

in both politics and law.

There are several factors

contributing to this "dual degree fever".

First, the workforce market,

being increasingly competitive,

requires people of multiple skills,

and those who have two majors are

at an advantage when they graduate.

Second, many universities,

with their improved teaching facilities and methods,

are now able to provide their students

with dual-degree programmes.

Finally, some excellent students just find it too simple

to work for just one major,

and they embrace such dual-degree programmes enthusiastically.

However, with the good points of dual-degree programmes,

it must be remembered that not all universities

and all undergraduates are suitable for them.

If the university lacks the necessary facilities,

and if the student has difficulty in even one major,

it is not wise to carry out the double major programme.

 

 

Topic 9: No Plagiarizing

 

Plagiarism has been an increasingly serious problem on campus.

Many college students use others' ideas

without justifiably stating the sources.

Even some professors are discovered

to have borrowed passages

from the works of others.

Undoubtedly plagiarism has much bad effect.

First, those whose works have been plagiarized suffer losses

because their efforts were not duly recognized.

Second, those who plagiarize also endure great mental pressures.

Plagiarism may have brought them something

they need for the moment,

but they are always in a fear that

someday their plagiarism may be disclosed,

and then their career may be totally destroyed.

Finally, plagiarism brings negative impacts on the ordinary people.

They may lose their faith in the academic field

and no longer believe in the saying

"Honesty is the best policy."

To avoid plagiarism,

both prevention and correction are needed.

For prevention,

all people should be taught lessons

on the various forms of plagiarism.

For correction,

severe punishment is called for

when plagiarism is discovered.

 

 

Topic 10: Too Much Expenditure on Fashion

 

The ever-changing fashion mirrors

the advance of human civilization.

And the desire for beauty and fashion is blameless.

However, some college students dip into their purses

in order to keep up with the Joneses.

Some of them even cut down the expending

for books and meals

to satisfy their desire for fashionable dresses.

As far as I am concerned,

college students should cherish ambition

rather than become slaves of fashion.

Attention should be paid to the disadvantages

of blindly following fashion.

Firstly, the pursuit of fashion has made

many college students get lost.

Some of them even fail to focus on their study.

Besides, it is a costly hobby to follow the tide,

which will impose financial stresses on their parents.

Finally, blind pursuit of fashion is time-consuming,

which will eat up the time for other duties of the students.

All in all, we should adopt a more reasonable attitude

towards the pursuit of fashion.

After all, what lasts for long is not the fast-changing fashion

but people's true color.

 

 

Topic 11:A Letter to the University President

about Fire Prevention on Campus

 

Dear Mr. President,

I'm a student of this university.

Recently, fire disasters have broken out

in some universities,

which caused heavy losses.

Not only buildings and other property are destroyed,

but also several students have lost their lives

because of the fire.

Therefore it is vital to prevent fire disasters on campus.

However, I find that students on campus

pay little attention to fire prevention.

On the one hand, some students don't strictly abide

by the fire regulations of the school;

some of them read books with a candle light at night

and sometimes they use high power electric heater

in the dormitory.

On the other hand,

the school is to blame for not

paying enough attention to this issue.

In some dormitory buildings,

some fire extinguishers don't work.

Besides, a lot of students don't know how to use them.

If things keep going on like this,

the possibility for fire break-out will be very high.

Therefore, I think we must solve the problems

without any delay.

And the authority of the school should

pay due attention to fire prevention

so as to protect students' life and public property.

Sincerely,

Wang Nan

 

 

Topic 12: Should Holders Be Responsible for Fake Money?

 

The state regulation prescribes that fake money,

when found, should be confiscated.

Therefore, when extremely real-looking forged banknotes

have been repeatedly discovered

in different cities over the country,

the public are seized with panic.

They are afraid that one day the banknotes they keep

may unexpectedly be found fake

and thus be confiscated.

But should all holders of fake money

take full responsibility for it?

It is true that some holders are related to the crime

of forging and trading fake banknotes.

These are criminals and deserve to be duly punished.

However, most holders are innocent,

and they are unaware that they are holding fake money.

Namely, they are victims of the crime.

Therefore, it is unfair for them to be fully responsible

for the fake money in their hand.

In fact, it is the state's responsibility

to stop and crack down on the making

and trading of fake money.

Therefore, while the innocent holders of fake money

should help crack down on the crime,

the state should also share with them

in their loss of the confiscated wealth.

 

 

Topic 13: My View on Writing a Blog

 

More and more college students are becoming bloggers.

They keep blogs to note down what happens to them,

to describe their emotions and feelings,

and to express opinions on current affairs.

There are different views regarding this phenomenon.

Some people think it a good idea

for college students to keep a blog.

They say blogs do not only provide an outlet

for the students' inner feelings like traditional diaries,

but they also provide a channel through

which young people can communicate with one another.

Others think differently.

They are afraid that some students

have spent too much time on their blogs,

trying hard to win clicks and replies.

Therefore both their academic work

and their everyday interpersonal relationships may suffer.

In my opinion,

both views are reasonable.

While writing blogs are advisable,

the students need also be aware of its potential shortcomings.

 

 

Topic14: Celebrities As the Products' Spokesmen

 

It is now very common to see a celebrity

as the spokesman for a certain product.

When commercial advertisements feature a famous star,

the celebrity normally helps the promotion of the product.

However, sometimes when the product is not good enough,

or when the star exaggerates or lies

about the functions of the product in the advertisement,

problems arise.

For one thing, the product and its brand name

may become notorious among consumers,

and its fate is doomed.

For another, such advertisements

may bring serious detriment to the image of the celebrity,

which may hinder the star's future career.

Finally, the false advertisements featuring famous stars

may cheat consumers into buying products of inferior quality,

which may do harm to their health.

Then this will be a situation nobody gains.

I think it necessary for the celebrity to think it over

before he decides to cooperate with the manufacturer.

He should be responsible for his own reputation

and make sure of the quality of the product

before he accepts to be its spokesman.

 

 

Topic 15:How to Prevent the Spread of Infectious Diseases?

 

In recent years,

various new viruses have come forth,

among which are the SARS virus and influenza A (H1N1) virus.

These viruses cause serious diseases and the spread of them

has led to heavy losses and aroused much panic.

It is important to take measures

to prevent the spread of infectious diseases,

especially in schools.

First, schools can play an important role

in preventing the spread of infectious diseases.

They should make all students informed of the danger of,

and ways to prevent,

infectious diseases through lectures, bulletins,

pamphlets or the school website.

They should hold as few gatherings as possible

when such a disease is detected

so as to lower the risk of the students being infected.

Then we students can also do something

to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

We should exercise a lot, sleep enough,

reduce pressures, and take up a balanced diet

to make ourselves strong and healthy.

Moreover, we should stay away from crowds

when there is a disease going around.

Finally we should form some good habits,

such as washing hands frequently,

to avoid diseases.

 

 

Topic 16: Online Shopping

 

It is shown in the graph that from 2005 to 2009,

the ratio of online shopping to total shopping

in City X has increased drastically from 2% to 12%.

There are several reasons for the increase of online shopping.

Firstly, online shopping is convenient.

Just by browsing some web pages and clicking the mouse,

you can buy various goods without stepping out of the house.

Secondly, buying online saves money.

It is estimated that the prices of online goods are usually 12%

lower than those of the goods in the shops because,

apparently, running an online store saves rent,

workforce, and other expenses.

Thirdly, online shopping is safe.

You do not need to pay for the goods

until they are delivered to your house,

checked and proved to be exactly what you want;

thus both your money and goods are protected.

With so many benefits of online shopping,

no wonder more and more people are taking to it.

I am totally in favor of shopping online,

hoping that one day everything can be bought this way.

Nowadays, it seems known to everybody that one of the objectives of China's modern construction is to build a harmonious society. All of a sudden, "a harmonious society" has become a frequently-used phrase in media news, newspaper etc. It is the trend of China's development.

But what is a harmonious society? In my mind, there are several aspects included in building a harmonious society. First, a harmonious society has democracy in its politics to ensure the maximum benefits of the people. Second, a harmonious society has equality and justice to protect the rights of every citizen. Third, a harmonious society has good faith and friendly relation between people to create a favorable atmosphere for living and doing business. Forth, a harmonious society has energy to make sure its creativity. Fifth, a harmonious society has stability and order to provide people with a comfortable environment. Sixth, a harmonious society has harmony between humankind and nature for a sustainable development of economy.

What I can do is develop good relations with people around me, help others as much as possible, spread this awareness to as many people as possible, laying a foundation for this tall building.

文章一开始就提到目前中国现代化建设的目标之一，就是构建和谐社会。一时之间，构建社会成为中国发展的趋势。

第三段从自身出发，讨论在构建和谐社会时自己该如何做。作为一名学生，作者认为：和周围人发展友好关系，乐于助人，传播“和谐社会”的意识，为这个宏伟目标奠定基础。

Aging Before Wealthy

1． 物价上涨，通货膨胀，社会压力越来越大，很多白领出现“未富先老”的现象。

2． 作为一个大学生，走出校门后，你将如何应对这种情况。

【范文】

Stress has been around human beings ever since its existence; it is an unavoidable consequence of life. In current society, everyone is required to work in a fast pace with the competition getting more and more hectic. What one earns does not make ends meet. Therefore a lot of white collars are suffering from “aging before wealthy”.

As university students, we will face those issues in no time. The first thing we should do is to stay positive. Secondly, knowledge is power. A competent person will accomplish his/her goal easier than others. So when we are still in campus, we shall spend more time in improving our skills, as well as broadening our horizons. In addition, everyone needs to learn stress management that suits them in order to cope with the current pace of the society.

All in all, by following the above steps and recognizing the seriousness of the reality, I am quite confident that we can face the future challenges and eventually survive.

【点评】

首段交待“未富先老”的历史和社会背景，先讲压力自古有之，后讲现代社会的压力更大。不仅如此，收入与支出的不和谐更是导致当今社会白领压力过大的重要原因。三句话步步深入，层层递进。“收支不平衡”使用what

one earns does not make ends meet。

第二段提供了三个应对措施。第一是从心理上保持乐观积极。第二是增强自身的业务技能。第三是进行压力管理。整段长短句结合，在表达“某人应该做某事”这个意思时，分别使用了sb.

should do, sb. shall do, sb. needs to

do等，使语言更加丰富。另外，在遇到和就业压力、升学压力、生存压力、心理健康等话题时，可供参考的短语和词组有：hectic（疯狂的）competition,

suffer from, stay positive, a competent person（有竞争力的人），stress management, cope

with, confident和survive.。

预测作文（二）

Audaciousness (出位)

1． 目前，互联网上有很多出位的现象，比如裸奔 (streaking) 等。

2． 是不是在新时代要获取关注，就要靠出位呢？

3． 你如何看待这种现象？

【范文】

Currently, audaciousness online like streaking has grabbed many people’s attention. It seems that in order to be famous, people have to resort to audaciousness. However, I believe that audaciousness may not be a proper way to draw public attention and realize one’s self-value.

To acquire fame and success, one has to consider three basic factors, namely goal, methods, and persistence. First, one needs to set a crystal-clear goal. This goal should aim at achieving the wholesomeness of the society. Second, one has to make the most of the mass media, since we are in an information age, and people gain news from various kinds of ways. Finally, persistence makes sure that success is within one’s reach.

In conclusion, by doing right things at the right time, we can also grab the public’s attention. Yet it is without doubt that audaciousness is not a good choice.

【点评】

第一句话开门见山，用sth. has grabbed（抓住） sb’s attention。接下来使用的 “have to resort

to”表现了一种被迫和无奈之感，但转折词however马上话锋一转，引出了作者的观点。在表达对像搏出位这样的社会现象时，切不可武断使用bad一类的词语进行价值评判。一会显得措辞鲁莽，二会显得过于主观。所以这里推荐使用sth.

be/not be a proper way to do sth. else. 以显示客观中立。

第二段讲了对出位的认识。文章没有直接讲这种行为的优点或缺点，而是从追求成功的角度阐释一个人应该具备目标、达到目标的方法和坚持不懈的毅力。言下之意是间接否定了出位。比较好的表达有：明确的目标（crystal-clear

goal），社会完整（the wholesomeness of the society），充分利用（make the most of ），志在必得（sth.

is within one’s reach.）。最后一段是重申主题和作者的立场。

预测作文（三）

Marriage: Is it still a tradition?

1． 剩男剩女越来越多。

2． 传统的成家立业、结婚思想是否会发生变化？

3． 未来社会是否会有更多的人选择不结婚，单身过日子，谈谈你的看法。

【范文】

Marriage, what a holy and inspiring word for human beings is. However, with the passage of time, the concept of marriage changes dramatically, as can be seen from the increasing numbers of single men and women in contemporary society.

From my perspective, this interesting phenomenon well reflects the young’s value shift in the aspect of marriage, family and so forth. First, the substantial development of our nation’s economy greatly changes the way young people treat marriage. They are more financially independent and attempt to seek individual freedom. Second, young people are becoming growingly competitive that they subconsciously raise the standards of their ideal partners, which lead to the fact that many find it hard to find their perfect matches.

As far as I am concerned, I strongly believe that single life is not the main trend in the long run for both men and women, because marriage can bring a lot happiness to us. Accordingly, the future of marriage will still be promising.

【点评】

首句欲抑先扬，指出婚姻是holy and inspiring（神圣并振奋人心的）。接着通过转折词however, 状语with the passage of

time，非限制性定语从句和被动语态as can be seen的使用，使句子结构丰富，并不失连贯性与逻辑性。

 

第二段讲述了年轻人婚姻观发生转变的社会和个人原因。最后一段表达自己对婚姻乐观积极的观点。值得一提的是此文中的副词和状语。副词如dramatically,

greatly, financially, growingly, subconsciously,

strongly等使它们修饰的动词和形容词更加形象生动；另外，中文里的动词在英语中通常可以用副词和状语来处理。如第一段中的with the passage of

time(随着时间的流逝)。

预测作文（四）

Government Officials and Their Words

1． 最近不断有官员爆出“雷人”话语，令人咋舌。

2． 你如何看待这种现象？

3． 请反思这种现象背后的原因。

【范文】

It is reported that floods of stunning words have burst into our society out of the mouths of some government officials. Some of those words are really astonishing and audacious, which arouse significant concern among the public.

As for me, I think that there are two major reasons accounting for this controversial issue. One is the misinterpretation of the mass media. It is universally acknowledged that lots of media exaggerate or uglify the facts in order to gain more attention from the public and achieve more profit. So they may have defamed some of the remarks made by the government officials so as to win the mass attention. Another reason is the government officials themselves. It is true that increasing numbers of officials fail to behave appropriately in public due to their lack of social etiquettes and poor education, which result in their improper remarks.

In general, I do hope our government officials can build up an upright and respectable image for the public and minimize the negative influence of those stunning words.

【点评】

第一段使用了被动语态来描述一个社会现象，使文章客观。在形容相关官员的“雷人”话语时，用了stunning,

astonishing和audacious三个词，语言丰富而深刻。

接下来解释了“雷人”话语频现的原因。第一是大众传媒的误读（misinterpretation）。表达“it is universally

acknowledged that”语出英国小说家简·奥斯汀的名著《傲慢与偏见》的第一句话：It is a universally acknowledged

truth that a young man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a

wife,

译为“……是一件举世公认的真理”。在重复“误读”这个信息时，用了exaggerate（夸大）、uglify（丑化）和defame（使名誉扫地）来替代，不仅避免了一词多用，还挖掘了误读的真正涵义。另一个原因是政府官员自身的素质不够，社会责任感不强。

最后一段表达了作者对政府官员的希望，提出要树立一个正直和令人敬重的形象（an upright and respectable

image），并将“雷人”话语的负面影响降低到最低（minimize）。

 

 

预测作文（五）

Information Security

1. 信息安全问题日益重要。

2. 信息安全事故可能导致的危害。

3. 如何做到信息安全。

【范文】

Information has already become a vital element in contemporary society. Therefore, the importance of information security has also drawn great attention in the society.

As I can see, accidents of information security will bring about appalling consequences. First, the exposure of key information of some big enterprises can be quite a heavy blow not only to the company but also to its main business partners. Second, the intrusion of personal information is also terrifying because it can ruin one’s fame, reputation and that of other people’s. Furthermore, the accidents of information security will give away critical intelligence of a nation, the result of which is definitely devastating.

Thus, in order to guarantee the information security, both the government and individuals should join hands and make a difference. It is expected that the government make strict and sound legal system to combat violation of information security. For individuals, they are supposed to be more cautious and alert so as not to be intruded of their privacy.

【点评】

第一段言简意赅，突出信息安全的重要性。这主要通过两个单词来体现：vital和importance。

紧接着在第二段一开始，作者用appalling一词呼应了“重要”这个重点。表达the exposure of key

information体现了中英文的区别。中文的动词，如本文中的“暴露”在英文中变成了名词，且在句中充当了名词。另外the intrusion of

personal

information翻译成中文为侵犯个人信息，也是中文动词变英语名词的例子。这两个表达照顾到了结构上的对称，使句子读起来工整有致。第二段末句的devastating与此段首句遥相呼应，再次重申了信息安全的重要性。

最后一段是解决措施。一般有两条万能解决方法。一是政府和有关部门制定法律并保证有效实施，二是公民要加强教育、增强自身意识。有效的表达有：make strict

and sound legal system(strict和sound头韵，为英语一种修辞手法)，violation（侵犯、践踏）, cautious and

alert（小心与警觉）。
