Part Ⅰ Writing

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Malting Friends Online. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

1. 1．网上交友现象越来截止普遍。

2．这种做法有利有弊。

3．我的建议。

答案:[高分作文]

With a wide variety of virtual communication tools springing up like mushrooms, making friends online has become increasingly fashionable over the past decade.

This channel of communication enables people to get acquainted with cyber friends from anywhere without any limitations, enriching their life experiences and even extending their knowledge. What's more, it is not rare for some to find their

bosom friends and even Mr. /Mrs. Right.

But as a double-edged sword, making friends without physically meeting each other undoubtedly has evils--tragedies occur when cyber-friends finally decide to date. Not coming singly but in pairs, some spouses get divorced because one party falls in love with cyber-lovers.

The network renders people convenient and efficient means to get in touch with the rest of the world and we should make good use of it instead of falling victims to it.

[评析]

这是一篇以分析某现象的利弊为主的说明文。

第一段用一句话说明了随着各种各样的(a wide variety of)虚拟通信工具如雨后春笋般涌现(springing up like mushrooms)，网上交友在过去十年里(over the past decade)变得越来越(increasingly)流行。with引导的名词+doing结构是表示原因的经典用法。

第二段用What's more连接了两个好处。其中的亮点词汇有：enable people to get acquainted with“使人们结识……”；enriching experiences“丰富经验”和extending knowledge“拓宽知识面”两个短语用了现在分词作伴随状语；it is not rare表示“并不罕见”，比it is common更有力；bosom friends“知心朋友”；Mr．/Mrs. Right“另一半；心上人”。

第三段话锋一转，利用比喻“就像一把双刃剑(as a double-edged sword)”，引出了坏处。成语Not coming singly but in pairs“无独有偶”的前后讲了两个坏处，恰恰与前一段的两个好处形成对比。

最后一段简洁地发出呼吁：网络给我们提供了便利、高效的接触外界的手段，我们应该好好利用它，而不应该成为其受害者。亮点词汇有：render, convenient and efficient means, fall victim to。

例二：

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled On Conserving Energy. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

1. 1．能源短缺问题已经非常严重；

2．可以采取节能措解决能源短缺问题；

3．你的看法。

答案:[高分作文]

Nowadays there is growing concern on the serious problem of energy shortage. Many people worry that energy resources on the earth will be exhausted if we use them in an unchecked way. And they believe that the energy shortage will cause serious problems and even crisis.

Conserving energy is one of the measures which have been taken to solve the problem of energy shortage. For example, some countries have a daylight saving system to use less electricity for lighting. Also, some cities have enforced some facilities for saving water at public places such as rest rooms and bars. Still more, some have enforced serious penalties on overuse of electricity, water, and farming land. By these means, people hope the drain on energy resources could be slowed down.

In a word, it is high time that serious consideration was given to conserving energy. Only through immediate and effective action, can we human beings survive and enjoy life as desired.

[评析]

节能是当前备受关注的一个话题，因此可说的内容很多，紧紧围绕提纲要求进行阐述是本文的鲜明特点。文章首段直截了当地提出能源短缺这样一个话题，中间段概括说明节能是解决能源短缺问题的重要措施之一，运用并列型扩展法介绍了几种节能措施。末尾段重申主题，再次强调问题的紧迫性和严重性。

本文词语和句型运用自如。如第二段的列举法虽然没有使用first，second等词语，但使用了Also，still more，使整个段落看起来内容充实，条理清楚。结尾段使用了此类分析问题的作文的典型结尾句型“it is high time that…”。

例三：

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled On English Learning. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

1. 1．你认为在英语学习过程中存在的主要问题是什么？

2．导致这些问题的原因有哪些？

3．对于解决这些问题，你有何建议？

It is obvious that there are some problems in college English learning. In my opinion, something most discouraging is that many students find difficulty in communicating with a native speaker although they have learned English for many years.

There are two reasons explaining this phenomenon. Firstly, most of the students, even many teachers of English pay little attention to the use of the language. To them, the most important thing of learning English is to memorize some grammatical rules and enlarge the vocabulary. Secondly, many students have not realized the real purpose of learning English. They hold that they study English to pass tests, not to master a useful tool for their own use.

To change this situation, my suggestion is that more emphasis be put on improving communicative abilities in English. For example, why not advocate that the listening and speaking should be included in the test of English at various

levels?

[评析]

作文首先直接提出英语学习中存在的问题，即经过多年英语学习之后，学生依然不能用英语进行交流。第二段揭示并分析产生这种现象的两个原因。主题句为：There are two reasons explaining this phenomenon．扩展句的主要内容：一是对语言运用的学习不够重视；二是学习英语的目的只是为了通过考试。最后提出解决问题而且现实可行的建议，用问句结尾，引起阅卷老师对本文的注意。

本文的语言表达准确，三个段落的过渡自然。文章开头句子明确提出问题It is obvious that there are some problems in college English learning，第二段首句提出产生这种现象的原因有两个There are two reasons explaining this phenomenon，末段的首句用To change this situation来承接上文，最后用for example引出自己的建议。

例四：

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Cheating on Campus. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

1. 1．在大学里存在着考试作弊的现象；

2．你是怎么看待这一现象的；

3．如何才能制止这种现象。

答案:[高分作文]

Cheating on exams is becoming a serious problem on campus. 23% of students have ever been found doing so on their exams. Some of them copy from each other, some take out their textbooks or reference books to copy, still some use the modern communication tools such as mobile phone as a way to get related information. It is obvious that cheating on exams has bad effect on students' academic performances as well as morality practice.

Many remarkable factors contribute to the cheating in exams. First, some students just play time away and want to pass the exam without efforts. And some students are under great pressure from parents and they fear to fail the exams. Second, college or universities must bear the blame for their placing more emphasis on grades than learning. Rigid grading system promotes cheating.

How can such an unhealthy phenomenon be eliminated? In my opinion, there are two ways we can adopt. First of all, a severe punishment should be put into effect to prevent students from cheating. In addition, we shouldre form our examination system to make it a real effective tool to measure students' abilities.

[评析]

本文的第一段指出考试作弊在很多大学里是一个很严重的问题，通过数字说明问题的严重性，主题句的提出显得有理有据。接着列举了学生的各种作弊手段。第二段主题句“Many remarkable factors contribute to the cheating in exams.”显示本段的主要内

容是分析考试作弊的原因，分别从学生和学校实行的制度两个方面进行分析。第三段提出根除作弊现象的措施。本文段落之间的衔接自然得体，如第三段开头用了一个问句“How can such an unhealthy phenomenon be eliminated?”，很自然地将话题转到如何制止作弊上来了。各个段落内部扩展句之间的逻辑层次清晰，分析透彻。如结尾段在阐述采取何种措施根除作弊时，用first of all, in addition表现了两种措施逻辑与意义上的关系。

例五：

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled On Internet-based Instruction. You should write at least 120 words following the outline below in Chinese.

1. 1．近年来网络化学习发展迅速；

2．网络教育蓬勃发展的原因；

3．我如何利用这种形式充电。

The past decade has witnessed a boom in Internet-based instruction both at home and abroad. Online education with or without record of formal schooling is readily available.

The attraction of the fenceless school for students is obvious. Learners can cast aside the restriction of age, profession or educational background and select freely according to their own need the studying contents. Additionally, with the

instructors posting syllabi, reading assignments, and schedules on Websites, and students sending in their assignments online, time and space are no obstacles to anyone. Meanwhile, expenses and resources are accordingly saved for both students and schools. Obviously, webucation broadens the channel of knowledge reception, realizes learner-centered auto-study and enhances the learners' ability of knowledge acquisition and knowledge updating.

As for me, to enhance integrated quality by selecting some popular web courses annually will be a long-term mission.

[评析]

这是一篇重点在于分析某现象的原因的文章。

第一段用两句话简单说明了过去十年里国内外网络化学习发展迅速这一现象。亮点词汇decade “十年”，比用ten years显得有水平；witnessed“见证”，以时间地点作主语，事件作宾语，表示在某个时间或者地点发生了某事，属于拟人化的用法；boom“蓬勃发展”；(at) home and abroad“国内外”。Internet-based, instruction和Online education是“网络教育”的两种不同表达，体现了用词的多样性。

第二段分析这一现象的原因。第一句是承上启下的过渡句。第二句详细说明了第一条原因：学习者可以不受年龄、职业、教育背景等的限制，自由选择课程。随后一句用Additionally引出了第二条原因：由于教学活动都在网上进行，师生都不受时空限制。紧接着用Meanwhile引出了第三条原因：费用和资源得到节省。最后用Obviously进行升华、小结：网络教育拓宽了接受教育的渠道、实现了以学生为中心的自主学习、提高了学

习者获取知识和更新知识的能力。这一段中的the fenceless school 和webucation又是“网络教育”的另外两种表达。其他亮点词汇还有：cast aside, obstacles, accordingly, broadens the channel, learner-centered, enhances the ability, knowledge acquisition, knowledge updating等。

第三段简明扼要地说明自己的打算：每年选几门受欢迎的网络课程来提高自己的综合素质。亮点词汇有：enhance, integrated, annually, long-term mission。

例六：

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled How to Live a Colorful Life on Campus. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

1. 1．许多大学生希望自己的校园生活能够丰富多彩；

2．有许多方式可以丰富大学生活；

3．对此你有什么建议？

Nearly all students want to make their life on campus as colorful as possible. With a colorful life, a student can feel meaningful and confident. So it is necessary- for students to enrich their campus life.

There are several ways to live a colorful life on campus. It is a good choice for students to join various clubs and groups. By doing so, students can make a lot of

friends whose interests are similar to theirs. Besides taking part in the activities on campus, students can also do some social practice, which is necessary for them to expand their horizon.

Taking myself as an example, I love to dance and join the dance club. I enjoy dancing with my friends and learn a lot from them. Moreover, I take an active part in social practice. Both are helpful to make my life on campus more enjoyable.

[评析]

文章的第一段提出丰富多彩的校园生活可以让学生感到自信，生活得有意义，随之自然地引出学生有必要学着使自己的校园生活丰富多彩。第二段提出使校园生活丰富多彩的两种方法。一种是参加各种俱乐部、学生团体；另一种是参加社会实践。最后一段作者重申主题。以自己为例，让读者知道自己的建议是有据可依的。

短文的第二段在介绍两种方法时没有用first、second一类的词，而是用了besides；最后一段用了分词短语taking myself as an example开头，通过这种方式，可以让阅卷老师觉得语言运用不落俗套。

例七：

Part Ⅰ Writing

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled College Students' sense of Responsibility. You should write at least 120 words

following the outline given below in Chinese:

1. 1．有的大学生有很强的责任意识，有的却连最基本的责任感都没有；

2．大学生肩负些哪责任；

3．大学阶段是大学生成长的重要阶段，呼吁大学生加强责任感。

Our times witness a striking difference between two groups of college students: those who bear a strong sense of responsibility and those without even a slightest one.

Perhaps some are still wondering--what obligations are undergraduates supposed to take? Obviously, all adult citizens should be responsible for themselves, their families, their societies and their nations. We university students are no exception. Besides, we are expected to be responsible for the institution where we are being educated.

Years at college are the most important period in a person's growth, when we acquire knowledge and find our roles in life, so we must enhance our obligation sense at this crucial moment in order to fulfill our duties well as individuals and members of our families, our schools, our society and our country.

[评析]

本文开头段只用了一句话就说明了提纲中的差距：有的大学生有很强的责任意识，有

的却连最基本的责任感都没有。其中动词witness的拟人法使用、短语a striking difference(显著的不同)、strong与slightest形成的强烈对比以及responsibility和one实虚词结合，都是亮点表达。而两类人的定语分别使用了定语从句who bear a strong sense of responsibility和介词短语without even a slightest one，体现了句型的变化多样。

第二段虽然不长，但是段首过渡句Perhaps some are still wondering-what obligations are undergraduates supposed to take?的使用，承上启下，十分自然地引出段落主题：大学生肩负哪些责任。随后给出四个答案：成年公民都应该承担自我责任、家庭责任、社会责任、国家责任。大学生也不例外。而为了突出大学生和一般成年公民的区别，还用Besides补充了“学校责任”。

尾段强调了大学时期在人生中的重要性，并呼吁为了很好地履行我们作为个人以及家庭、学校、社会、国家的成员的职责，我们要加强责任感的培养，呼应第二段。全文以主人公的形象论述，有说服力。

例八：

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic of On Being Volunteers. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.

1. 1．现在很多大型活动都需要志愿者；

2．做志愿者的利弊；

3．如果我有机会做志愿者的话，我会……

答案: [高分作文]

On Being Volunteers

With China becoming increasingly prosperous by the day, large-scale events such as world expositions and sports games frequent this hot land, virtually all of which are thirsty for a large number of volunteers.

Apart from gaining some working and social experiences, the realistic advantages to serving as a volunteer are also obvious. Volunteers for the World Expo in Shanghai, for instance, may visit any pavilion after work, which makes them the envy of billions of queuers; likewise, volunteers of Beijing Olympics got allowances, quality uniforms, free riding of bus and metro, etc. More beneficially, their experience may add luster to their resume in job-hunting. But as the saying goes, \"A penny has two sides. \" The disadvantages to being volunteers are also elephants in the room. Doing voluntary jobs is undoubtedly time-consuming, and to those students, the majority of volunteers, the sacrifice is not only time but their school work. Besides, longtime exposure to various unexpected weather may do great harm to their health.

But anyway, if I have a chance to be a volunteer, I am sure to try my utmost, because during the course, I will learn how to carry out better team work and how to cope with emergencies, etc. , thus I will mature sooner than otherwise.

[评析]

这是一篇以分析某现象的利弊为主的说明文。

第一段用一句话说明了现在很多大型活动频频在中国举办(with引导的短语简要指出原因：中国日益繁荣)，它们都需要志愿者这一现象。其中语言亮点有increasingly修饰形容词prosperous，表示“越来越”；by the day表示“日益”；large-scale events表示“大规模的活动”；frequent作动词，表示“频频发生”；virtually修饰all，表示“几乎”；of which介词+关系代词，引导定语从句，使句型出现变化；be thirsty for使用了拟人的手法，表达“迫切需要”。

第二段分析了做志愿者的利弊。第一句以Apart from开头，引出了两个“利”——获得工作、社会经验以及一些现实性的好处，随后举了北京奥运会和上海世博会作为后者的例证(likewise自然地把两个例子衔接到了一起)，并用More beneficially说明前者对找工作更有帮助。在转折到“弊”时，用了谚语(But as the saying goes, \"A penny, has two sides.\")，而成语elephants in the room表示“明显的”，也是闪光用词。Besides连接了两个弊端——耗费时间、影响健康。

最后一段表明了自己的态度——如果有机会，将竭尽全力做好志愿者，同时简要说明了理由：学会合作和应急以便更快地成熟起来。开头的But anyway“但不管怎样(尽管有上述的弊端)”属于过渡词，把第二段和第三段自然衔接到了一起。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on

the topic of Should Foreign Abbreviations Be Banned on TV? You should write at least 150 words according to the outline given below.

目前有些电视台禁止在节目中使用外来缩略语

1．对这种做法有人表示支持

2．有人并不赞成

3．我认为……

答案:[范文一]

Should Foreign Abbreviations Be Banned on TV?

(1) Recently, CCTV banned the use of borrowed English abbreviations such as NBA, WTO and CPI in all its programs. (2) Some people applaud the move, maintaining that it helps preserve the purity of the Chinese language. The media is deeply engaged in the ongoing Westernization of Chinese language. (3) If the phenomenon is not stopped, Chinese will be gradually reduced from an independent expression system to a mixture of languages.

(4) Others, however, shake their heads. It is not persuasive, they say, that the media shy away from foreign abbreviations to preserve the purity of the Chinese language and culture. (5) After all, languages' integration is a very complicated process and it's irrational to impose a simple ban on certain words. (5) Besides, the

use of foreign abbreviations won't shake the status of Chinese as an embodiment of and the basis of the 5,000-year-old Chinese culture.

(6) As far as I am concerned, there is no need to ban the use of foreign abbreviations on TV. A language is great, not because of its purity, but because of its tolerance to other languages. Chinese is so rich and beautiful because it constantly absorbs words, abbreviations and phrases from other languages. (7) It's totally unnecessary to fear about the disappearance of Chinese if we allow English to mix with Chinese.

(5) As far as I'm concerned, learning handwriting is (7) of essential importance to youngsters in three aspects. (6) To begin with, being able to write Chinese characters is a basic ability as a Chinese, since the language is an (7) indispensable element of the Chinese culture. (6) Moreover, the practice of handwriting can help develop many capabilities, such as the capability of concentrating and learning. (6) Last but not least, as the Chinese characters have an aesthetic function, handwriting can be a (7) crucial way to show the differences of individuals.

(1) In recent years, a number of primary schools and middle schools are offering handwriting lessons to their students. A heated debate arises over

whether it is reasonable to make handwriting a compulsory lesson. (2) Some people hold the opinion that the schools need handwriting classes in order to cultivate all-rounded talents.

(3) Other people, however, tend to believe that handwriting is of little use to the students nowadays．In this computer age, (4) all the students need to do is having a good knowledge of computer programs. Kids today needn't bother to learn the out-of-date handwriting.

(5) In my view, the schools should open up handwriting lesson as a selective course rather than a compulsory one. (6) On the one hand, the burdens that the kids are undertaking are nearly unbearable, thus we shouldn't make things worse by adding hand-writing lessons into their curriculums. (6) On the other hand, some students who are interested in handwriting can choose to attend the course in their free time or during the holidays.

Better Early than Late

(1) It is a common phenomenon that college students only study hard right before exams. (2) With the final exams' approaching, they become more diligent than ever and try to recite some important facts or rules. They stay up all night studying during the last few days of a semester.

However, memorizing so much in such a short time is (3) incredibly difficult. (4) As a result, some students are not capable of getting higher scores. (4) Even worse, college students end up never learning the materials they are supposed to master.

In my opinion, it is (5) better to study early than late because it will give us a thorough digestion of the knowledge we have learned. (6) As an old saying goes, \"The early bird gets the worm.\" Thus we shall make good use of our time and study as early as possible.

2. 然而当今社会越来越看重能力

3. 你的看法

答案:

Ability OF Diploma

In the past, few people could receive higher education and acquire corresponding diplomas. So that people with diplomas (1) were regarded as talents (2) without any doubt. However, in today's society, diplomas can not stand for everything any more. Ability is becoming a new judge of talents.

(3) To begin with, college expansion allows more and more people to receive

college education and get diplomas, which makes diplomas not so rare. Moreover, there are even people who buy fake diplomas. And that behavior further lowers the value of diplomas. (4) As a result, practical ability is receiving more attention than diplomas.

(5) As far as I am concerned, diploma is on the whole useful, because it is a kind of symbol of ability. We still need to study hard to get the necessary diplomas. And besides, we also need to improve our(6) all-round ability to adapt ourselves to the requirements of today's society.
