The Fascinations of China
China, one of the cradles of human civilization, possesses so many treasures with Chinese characteristics that numerous foreign friends come to visit her.The first place to go to is, the Great Wall, which is the symbol of China and one of the seven wonders in the world.What's more, it is said to be the only construction that can be seen from the outer space.In the imperial periods, it was used in defense of the dynasties.Since liberation, it has become a place of interest.There is a famous saying: “He who does not reach the Great Wall isn't a true man.”

Sample 1: Statistics of Family Expenses in Shanghai
As is shown in the table above, dramatic changes have taken place in family expenses in the City of Shanghai within two decades(from 1980 to 2000).The most obvious change is in expense on food and clothing, which has dropped by 48%, while those on recreation, education and health care have increased respectively by 5%, l6% and l0%.Expenses on other things keep rising from 17% to 35%.The statistics of rise and fall seem to exist in isolation but are in fact closely related to one another.The most likely factors accounting for these changes are as follows:
Development in economy is the fundamental one.The increased income results in the lowering percentage of food and clothing.Another factor lies in the development of people’s concept.People begin to interest themselves in recreation and education.These changes should also be attributed to social reforms.In the 1990’s, college education was not totally free as it was before, which also accounts for the rising expenses on education.Soon after, the government gradually stopped offering houses to its citizens without charges.People had to save a large proportion of their money for housing.That's partly why the expenses for ''others'' doubled.As for the more expenses on health care, I figure there are two main reasons: the cancellation of free medical care and people’s awareness of the importance of health.The changes reflect the development of the city and indicate that people are enjoying more.Sample 2:
根据国务院发布的:限塑令”,自2008年6月1日起,在所有超市、商场实行塑料购物袋有偿使用制度,超市、商场一律不得免费提供塑料购物袋。请你写一篇英语短文,要求包括以下内容:
现状:目前中国每天消费近30亿个塑料袋,造成了严重的资源浪费和环境污染;
限塑令的意义:减少塑料袋使用量,提高公众的环保意识;
提倡:重拎布袋子,重提菜篮子。
As we all know, white trash mainly refers to the plastic bags we consume everyday.And this pollution has been affecting us for many years.It is reported that 3 billion plastic bags are used on a daily basis.Fortunately, the government has take measures to deal with the increasingly serious problem.A new ban was launched not quite long ago that plastic shopping bags are no longer free.This ban is significant in the following aspects.First of all, it contributes to the reduced quantities of plastic bags and therefore can relieve the pressure of white trash on the environment.Furthermore, the environmental awareness will be strengthened and thus benefit other aspects of the environmental protection.In all, we have only one earth, which doesn’t belong to our generation only.It’s the responsibility for every individual to take actions to protect it.Let’s use more cloth bags, baskets instead of plastic bags.Only by taking actions can we really rescue our mother earth from being drown in the trash My View on the Income Gap
Outline: 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
Sample
Now the income gap is getting wider and wider.In some privately owned firms, joint-ventures, or foreign-fund 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.Others 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 gap 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.住房话题参考阅读文章
”To buy or to rent“, that is a question about living for most young people who just graduated from university or who have worked for one or two years in big cities.Many people see it as a torturing choice and feel weak in face of it.sub-topics:
1.Which one will choose or have you chosen? Why?
2.Discussion: the advantages and disadvantages of buying a house and renting a house.3.What's your expectation about the realty market in the coming 10 years?
Millions of Americans have been unable to pay the mortgage on their houses and have had to leave them.Many are now renting, but are finding it difficult financially
Owning your home was once part of the American dream.But that dream has faded because of the economic recession in the United States.Millions of Americans have been unable to pay the mortgage on their houses and have had to leave them.Without a home of their own, many people are now renting, but this also can be difficult financially.Until recently, Brenda Ganaway lived in a home of her own in Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb close to Washington, D.C.But then the economic crisis hit and she was unable to keep paying the mortgage on her house.”We were behind on a few payments and we couldn't get a loan anywhere, so they just immediately foreclosed it and told us we had a certain amount of days to leave,“ she explained.There are millions of people like Brenda Ganaway in America now.Raphael Bostic is the assistant secretary at the U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD.He says the number of Americans who own their homes is steadily dropping.”The homeownership rate in the United States used to be somewhere close to 70 percent.We've fallen off by several million households now,“ he said.”And so the rate is down considerably.And a lot of those have now gone into the rental market.“
Renting does have some advantages over home ownership.If a renter wants to move, for example, he does not have to worry about finding a buyer for the house.Yazgul Odekova manages a rental property in Alexandria.She says the major reason people rent is that it is usually less expensive than owning a home.”People rent for different reasons.Number one is affordability,“ she said.”It is cheaper to rent and it is risk-free.“
Renting is cheaper for many reasons, says Arun Shu.He is an international businessman who rents a home near Washington.He says there are many costs to owning a house besides paying the monthly mortgage.”If you decide to buy a house, a lot of expenses are involved.Not only payment if you take a mortgage, but also you have to pay property tax, maintenance and upkeep of the house,“ he said.”You probably will want to spend some money on renovating the house, remodeling parts of the house if you buy [a] used house.“
But even renting can be difficult in today's market, especially in big cities.Danilo Pelletiere is an official at the National Low Income Housing Coalition.He says there just are not enough homes to rent and poor people are the most affected.”In the United States there has been a focus both at the local level and a national level on home ownership.That affected renters, low-income people and the like and a result you have shortage of three million units of affordable housing for lowest income people,“ he said.Even if a house is available, Mr.Pelletiere says, being able to pay for it is another problem.To afford the rent, he says, many poor people work more than one job.”Today you need multiple minimum wage jobs to be able to afford a two-bedroom apartment,“ he added.”We calculated about $18 an hour.“
Even if a person can afford the rent there are other obstacles.Yazgul Odekova, the property manager in Alexandria, says most people just do not meet the necessary qualifications, such as being able to prove they can afford the rental payments.”Right now from every 10 application we turned down nine.It is not just because people are dishonest.Sometimes people have big medical bills, sometimes people have bankruptcy, because suddenly they became sick and don't have health insurance.Sometimes peoples' income is very low, sometimes it is unstable relationship between people,“ Odekova said.HUD's Raphael Bostic says the U.S.government has programs to help low-income families pay the rent.”We provide direct subsidy where we try to make sure that families are not overly burdened [so we don't wanna go over that 30 percent ratio], but that they can get into some decent high-quality housing," Bostic said.But most analysts agree that until the U.S.economy improves, buying a home or renting one will be especially hard for low-income people.Fast Food
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Fast Food.Your composition should be based on the Outline given below:
1.快餐在中国十分流行
2.快餐受欢迎的原因
3.我对快餐的看法
Fast Food
Fast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers.Today, nothing is more representative of the fast pace of modern society than fast food.There are several reasons for its popularity.First, it is quick and convenient.Go into a fast food restaurant, and your food will be ready in a minute.You can satisfy your hunger instantly.Precious time won't be wasted in waiting-in-line to order or waiting at your table for your food to arrive.Second, its popularity is also attributed to the clean food, the excellent service and the comfortable environment of the fast food restaurant.However, I think that fast food isn't healthy enough because it does not compose a balanced diet and is low in nutrition.Doctors suggest that people should avoid eating too much fast food.Although home cooking is time-consuming and following washing-u p tiresome, it offers healthy and delicious meals your body likes and needs.

预测主题之第十位:友谊
Friendship is a kind of human relations.It is a human instinct to make friends.When in trouble, we need friends to offer us help, support and encouragement.With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys.Friendship is also one of the greatest pleasures that we can enjoy.It implies loyalty, cordiality, sympathy, affection,and readiness to help.No man can make the most of his life without carefully and
conscientiously striving to win the right kind of friends as he goes along.Knowing how valuable friendship is, we should be very careful in making friends.Real friends are those who have good character, superior ability and kindness of heart.Real friends can share all our sorrows and double all our joys.While making friends, we should take care to select those who have such fine qualities.Then we should treat our friends with courtesy, be careful not to interfere unreasonably with them,and not to ridicule their proceedings.We should forgive their failures and do our best to help them.In short, when we have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it by means of words and deeds.Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life.预测主题之第九位:压力
As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night,it is hard to slow down.But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it.In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be.A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life.It is only when the stress gets out of control can it lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual.Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities.Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties.When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically.In fact, we make a choice between “flight or fight”and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death.The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response.It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered.Such serious
conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress.Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.预测主题之第八位:节约
As is vividly revealed in the drawing above, water is being wisely utilized in the daily life of a family.The good conduct is indeed praiseworthy and should be popularized in our society.The implied meaning of the drawing can be stated as follows.To begin with, to practise economy is closely related to our daily life.In terms of our clothing, food, sheltering, and transport, much work can be done to save valuable energy and natural resources such as power, water, coal, gas and so on.We, as university students, should take the wise use of paper and second-hand textbooks into consideration.What’s more, the public participation is the foundation of a society in which to practise economy is advocated and treasured.Since social environment is shaped by the general public, the cultivation of economy-practising society depends on the active involvement of every member of our society, be he old or young.In sum, our daily life should be permeated with the sense of practising economy and public participation should be encouraged.In my view, necessary measures should be taken so as to practise economy.On the one hand, we should launch a public campaign to help people build up the sense of practicing economy in our routine life.On the other hand, education on how to practise economy must be promoted by relevant government departments and professionals at different levels.Only in this way can we create a real economy-practising society.预测主题之第七位:健康
Nowadays more and more people are concerned about their health.But how to keep healthy? Different people may give different answers to this question.In my opinion, it is essential to do the following.First, it is absolutely necessary to take some exercise every day.Research shows that getting plenty of exercise make the heart beat faster and the lungs work harder.This strengthens the heart, reduces the chance of heart attack, and helps lower blood pressure.That“s why more and more people are becoming active in various kinds of sports and exercises.Every morning many people get up early and take much exercise.Some practice shadowboxing and swordplay while others run, jog, walk or dance to music.In the afternoon,there are also many people keen on sports.Some play basketball or volleyball or table tennis, others go in for gymnastics or track events.Through sports and exercise, people become healthier and stronger.Medical researchers have proved that what people eat affects their health.They advise people to eat more fruit and vegetables and less meat such as beef and pork because meat contains more fat than poultry and fish.Fat can build up in the arteries, block the flow of blood, and cause a heart attack or stroke.预测主题之第六位:竞争
Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life.We compete when
we play games and when we try to do better than others in our study.There is constant competition for academic degrees, jobs, customers, money and so forth.In a sense, competition is one of the motive force to the development of society.In fact, the only way our world reward people is to give laurels to the winners, not to the losers.What is more, by attempting to compete at different activities, we learn to win and lose, gain experience and know our strengths and weaknesses.Competition prepares us for the tough things in life.To go ahead, to acquire possession, we should be competitive.To us, industriousness and ambition are positive values.Whether in games, in study or in business alike, the aim is to win the game, the degree, the trophy(战利品), and the contract.Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life.预测主题之第五位:纪律
Some people say that the best way to raise children is to them to be independent thinkers.Other people disagree and say that children need to be taught discipline in order to let them successful.In other word, children should either be granted freedom, or be given more discipline.I tend to agree with a policy of firm discipline.The people whose view places emphasis on encouraging children to think freely hope the child will be able to understand and govern the world.The child is considered as an “equal” to the adult.This view has been popular in the western countries, where corporal punishment of children is now illegal.The concept of “rights” for children is part of a wider political movement that also asserts right for women, animals and environment.Discipline is justified because adults are generally wiser than children.Discipline in childhood fosters(养育)the child for the hardship of his future life.预测主题之第四位:自信
Confidence is power--the power to attract, persuade, influence, and succeed.Imagine what your life would be like if you had an abundance of selfconfidence!Confidence isn”t an inherited trait, it“ s a learned one.This means that you can have an abundance of self-confidence.The very first thing you have to do to create abundant self-confidence is to start thinking with confidence.Pay attention to your internal dialogue, and learn to notice when you allow negativity or doubt to control the course of your thinking.Your environment has a tremendous influence on you.The books you read, the people you spend time with, and the music you listen to all influence the way you think and feel about yourself and the world around you.If you”re in a situation where you"re discouraged, such as an
unhealthy relationship or a miserable job, you have to change that situation if you want your self-confidence level to grow.Create an environment that supports you if your desire to have abundant self-confidence.Spend time with confident people.预测主题之第三位:心理
As is apparently betrayed in the bar chart above, at present
university students suffer from psychological problems of various kinds, among which spiritual depression, miscellaneous problems, and
suicide-committing top the list.What the chart reveals is indeed thought-provoking.The implied meaning of the chart above can be briefly stated as follows.On the one hand, university students are encountering more psychological problems than ever before.The fact can be attributed to many factors.Most university students are overloaded with study and haunted by employment pressure.As young and inexperienced people, they are also facing emotional dilemma and trial of human interrelationship.Besides, some students are in a financial predicament.On the other hand, necessary psychological work for university student is a must for the time being.It is quite shocking that at least forty percent of university students suffer from spiritual depression.The very fact should not be neglected.Effective countermeasures must be taken to reverse the current grim situation.In sum, the psychological problems should be put on our agenda.In my view, great efforts must be made so as to ensure the healthy growth of university students.To begin with, we must have a good understanding the necessity of psychological instruction and guidance among university students.What’s more, government departments at
different levels and related organizations should make joint efforts to

Creating a Conservation-Oriented Campus
In this age of rapid depletion of natural resources, it is of paramount importance to create a conservation-oriented campus.The creation of such an ecologically-friendly campus would significantly contribute to China’s overall efforts to become a leading low-carbon nation in the world.The most compelling reason for such an endeavor is to change a deep-entrenched misconception prevalent among college students.Most universities provide water and electricity for free, misleading students into believing that such resources are limitless and inexhaustible.We should realize that, currently, many parts of our country are suffering from unprecedente drought and power scarcity.We should show due concern for the welfare of people in those places by refusing to be selfish in satisfying our own needs.As responsible citizens of our society, we have the responsibility to recycle whatever we can lay hands or.The small efforts by a single individual may make a huge difference.To be a well-educated college student is to be conservation conscious.College graduates are the future of our country and by enhancing their conservation awareness they would definitely play a leading role in protecting our environment in the future and in making our world a better place to live.【参考译文】
创立环保型的校园
在自然资源急剧消耗的这个时代,创立环保型的校园具有至高无上的意义。创造这样一个生态友好型的校园,将极大地促进中国整体上的能力,成为世界上处于领先地位的低碳大国。
作出如此一番努力,最迫切的一个原因,就是为了改变大学生中间甚为流行的一个根深蒂固的错误观念。大多数学校免费提供水和电,使学生们误以为这类资源取之不尽,用之不竭。我们应该意识到,就在眼下,我国的许多地区正遭受着史无前例的干旱与电荒。我们绝不应该自私地只追求满足我们自己的需求,而应该为那些地区的民众的福祉着想。作为我们社会中有责任心的公民,但凡我们身边的一切,我们皆应不吝举手之劳,悉数予以循环利用。个体的一份小小的努力,却能为世界带来巨大的改变。
要成为富有修养的大学生,就是要有保护自然的意识。大学毕业生是我们国家的未来;通过强化其保护自然的意识,他们注定会在未来的环保事业中发挥主导的作用,使我们这个世界成为更宜居之地。
【结构分析】
本文采用三个段落的写作手法,每个段落都起着不同的作用,但相互呼应,形成一个整体。
文章第一段,开门见山地重申题目中的命题,然后阐述该命题的意义。
文章第二段,阐述了创立环保型校园的原因。首先分析了过去的一个错误的想法,陈述了某些不环保的行为,让人们认识到不环保的坏处。这在写文章中可被看做一个“破”的过程。第二段的后半部分就是由“破”而“立”的部分。首先从“意识”(realize)着手, 然后进入到行动:“We should show due concern for„” 和“we have the responsibility to „”。在这两项行动之后,用“The small efforts by a single individual may make a huge difference.”进行了简短但寓意深刻的概括。这就是“收”。
第三段是结尾,提出了在新时代做一个合格大学生的标准,即必须具有环保意识。文章展望未来,阐述了作为社会精英的大学生,通过在大学期间致力于环保事业,从而在未来担当起引领我国环保事业的责任与义务。
【写作技巧分析】
每篇文章中总有一个核心的概念,像本文中“环保”这个概念就是。作为核心概念,它肯定要被多次提及。如果通篇只用一个概念,就不免会让人读上去觉得单调乏味。反之,如果能对这个核心概念进行表达方式上的多重变化,就能一方面给人以新鲜感,另一方面也让阅卷老师对你丰富的词汇量留下深刻的印象,因为丰富的词汇量必定隐含着平时庞大的阅读量。国外的好文章无不如此。
本文中从标题开始,就出现了“conservation”与“conservation-oriented”这样一些相关的词语,文章中同类词语有:“natural resources”,“ecologically-friendly”,“low-carbon”,“recycle”,“conservation conscious”,“conservation awareness”,“environment”。这些词汇在文章的不同地方出现,使整篇文章得以围绕着一个统一的主题来展开,从而避免了跑题的可能性。
当然,与环保相关的词汇还有很多,如“energy-efficient”, “environmentally friendly”, “green”,“preservation”, “harmonious coexistence of nature and man”„ 所有这些,都需要学生在平时积累,写作时就能灵活自如地用上了。

In recent years, many university students would like to stay at home or dormitory rather than to attend compulsory courses, take exercises or join in social activities.This kind of unhealthy lifestyle will do harm to their physical conditions to some extend, and reduce their scope of knowledge.Unhealthy lifestyles of university students are caused by their reversed biological clock, addiction to computer games, irregular dietary structure, all kinds of competition pressures, and so on.To improve this way of life, joined efforts are needed.As to universities, they should hold the idea “health comes first” and educate students to conscientiously observe the rules of discipline and study hard.Parents should cooperate with universities by creating comfortable atmosphere at home.Most importantly, university students themselves should form good habits and healthy interests, take extracurricular activities positively and do exercises regularly.【点评】

Normally school education aims to cultivate students' abilities to learn and think.But more and more people realize that without the cultivation of moral norms and ethics, we can hardly expect a society to be nice enough for leading a harmonious life.As a result, schools should attach more attention to develop students’ character education, such as qualities of honesty and filial piety.Character education plays an important role in the development of future society.It meets the need of emphasizing and developing the students’ all-round qualities.In the long run, it protects students from being selfish, indifferent, conceited as well as impolite in their daily lives.What's more, it teaches students how to learn efficiently, how to live colourfully, how to do things seriously, for their own future, and also for the future of their motherland.【点评】

Large number of children from poor families once held the belief “Knowledge can change fate” and thought that hardworking could reward them--As one sows, so will one reap.But now the true fact is that not only knowledge can't change fate, but also the chances for poor ones to gain knowledge have decreased.This phenomenon brings more harm than good to society.First, it makes the rich-poor divide ever widening, and sense of injustice ever deepening.Second, it may let many real potential genius go away.Third, it runs against the repeated call for building a people-oriented, harmonious society.Therefore it needs to take urgent measures.On the part of government, it should increase its investments on education and urge all universities and colleges to make preferential policies for enrolling poor students.As to colleges and universities, they should establish completed systems for scholarship and fellowship in order to assist poor students.【点评】
文章由习语“知识改变命运”引出话题,指出当今社会现实---知识无法改变命运。文章第二段分析了该现象的危害:加剧穷富差距和不公平;导致“潜在的”人才流失;不利于建立和谐社会。最后一段分别给政府,学校提出建议,采取措施改变这种状况。
第一段中reward 意为“回报”;As one sows, so will one reap.为习语,意为“ 一分耕耘,一分收获。” 文章第二段中列举该现象的危害,分别用 First,„Second,„Third表示“首先„„其次„„再次”。building a people-oriented, harmonious society意为“创建以人为本的和谐社会”。
第三段中 make preferential policies意为“制订优惠政策”,establish completed systems意为“建立完善的体系”。

(四)Indirect Employment
1. 工作难找,大学生流行“曲线就业”,通过实习或做一些杂活积累社会经验。
2. 你对此有什么看法?
【范文】
Confronting the more and more severe employment situation, university graduates have tried indirect employment for finding ways out.Instead of getting good jobs, they try to gain social experience by doing internships or taking in some social activities.I am completely in favor of taking indirect employment.Firstly, it can not only relieve employment pressure, but also let students gain new knowledge and practical experience which
can't be gotten from books.Secondly, it benefits students a lot since it helps them to realize clearly what their real potentials are, and in which kind of jobs they really show interests.Last but not the least, it improves university students' social skills, qualifications and personal qualities, which are the main factors for their future jobs.【点评】
文章第一段指出大学生就业形势严峻,随之出现“曲线就业”。文章第二段开门见山,说明自己的观点---赞成这种做法,然后一一列出了好处:第一,缓解就业压力,获取新的知识和实践经验;第二,有利于大学生认识自己兴趣所在;第三,锻炼学生的社会技能和个性。
第一段中severe employment situation意为“严峻的就业形势”;finding ways out意为“寻求出路”;第二段中in favor of 意为“支持”;not only„but also意为“不仅„„而且„„”;Last but not the least意为“最后但是最重要的是”。

(五)Who Should Pay the University's Tuition?
1. 大学学费不断上涨,有人认为大学学费应由学生自己赚取,有人认为应由父母供给。
2. 作为大学生,谈谈你自己的观点,并给出理由。
【范文】
University education plays an important role in a person’s career since it offers people more opportunities.With the rising of university's tuition, hot discussions have arisen about who should pay the university's tuition.Some say students should pay fees by themselves as they pay for their own life.Some think that tuition fees should be paid by their parents because that amount of money is beyond students' ability.As far as I am concerned, I think parents should pay part of the fees while university students bear the rest part.It is true that trying to make money will affect university students' studies.But doing part-time jobs will help them gain working experience, learn more of society as well as realize the importance of saving money.Most importantly, it helps to lighten financial burdens of parents.【点评】
文章第一段开门见山,指出关于谁支付大学学费的不同意见。第二段说明自己的观点----希望父母和孩子共同承担学费,这样有助于减轻家庭负担,学生也有机会通过社会实践获取更多社会经验。

(一)New Part-time Jobs
1. 目前有一些新型的兼职工作出现,如网络写手,拍客,纠客等;
2. 你对大学生从事这类职业有什么看法?
【范文】
With the rapid development of information society, a large number of new part-time jobs emerge, such as cyber writers, shooter, rectifiers and so on.Since young people tend to accept new
things, many university students employ these jobs.However, some are afraid that these part-time jobs will distract students' attention from their studies and influence their academic achievements.As far as I am concerned, taking on part-time jobs can partly relieve students' economic burdens, especially to those from poor families.Almost all these new jobs meet the real demands of modern times, they can ensure college students to keep pace with the times and get self-improvements according to the needs of society.What's more, when compared with traditional ones, these new ones show characteristics of novel forms, diversified styles and flexibility.So if college students can balance their learning and part-time jobs well, they are sure to get enough knowledge as well as working experience, so as to get ready for their future success.【点评】
本题谈论的是一种社会现象。第一段首句引入“新型兼职工作出现”这一现象,之后提及人们对大学生从事这些兼职工作的担忧:担心大学生做兼职工作分心而影响学业。第二段说明自己的观点---兼职工作可以减轻学生的经济负担,而且这些新型兼职工作都是应运时代要求而生,可以使学生与时俱进,根据时代需求进行自我调整。第三段分析了新型兼职工作的特征“形式新颖,风格各异,自由灵活”,提倡学生合理安排学业与工作。

(二)Bureaucratic Airs on College Student Cadres
1. 部分高校学生干部沾染“官气”,错把职能当权力;
2. 请对此现象及原因进行分析。
【范文】
College Student Cadres are those ones who usually do excellent jobs in academics and make outstanding performance in activities.Their manners influence the students around them greatly.However, due to the close relationship between college and society, many college student cadres gradually show undesirable tendency towards bureaucracy.They mistakenly regard their duties as authorities.This strange phenomenon not only reveals the immature of young adults, but also discloses that those cadres haven’t realized the nature of Students’ Union.The following factors can account for it.Firstly, self-cultivation of college student cadres is not good enough.Because they lack social experience, they make mistakes easily with the desires for quick returns.Secondly, the check-up systems in colleges overemphasize their performance in Students’ Union, so student cadres only focus on pursuits of outstanding performance.All things considered, universities should reinforce guidance and education for college student cadres and help them build up a stronger sense of services.【点评】
大学生干部曾经是一个时代活力动力、正气朝气、理想希望的象征。但是随着市场大潮的逐步浸染,大学生开始越来越深入地接触社会,并在各类活动中开始受到社会不良风气的诱惑。文章由部分高校学生干部沾染“官气”引出话题,之后在第二段分析了该类现象,指出大学
生干部涉世未深,没有认清学生会的本质所在。之后分析了产生这一现象的原因---自身素质不高并且急功近利;考核制度过分强调业绩。最后一段呼吁学校加强对大学生干部的引导,帮助其树立正确的信念和服务意识。
第一段中do excellent jobs in academics意为“学业优秀”;make outstanding performance in activities意为“表现突出”; undesirable tendency towards bureaucracy意为“官僚化的不良趋势”;第二段第一句中reveal和disclose都表示“揭示”,account for意为“解释,说明”; the desires for quick returns可以解释为“急功近利”;第三段中All things considered意为“总而言之”。

(三)Limited Tour on Famous Universities’ Campuses
1. 名校成旅游景点,不少高校纷纷颁布“限游令”;
2.该不该限游,谈谈你的看法。
【范文】
Along with the phenomenon that famous university campuses have become popular tourist attractions, great concerns have been showed to campus tourism.Since it has been found that the normal teaching has been disturbed, the environment has been polluted and the spiritual atmosphere has been ruined, a large number of universities have carried out rules to limit tourists on campus.As we know, campuses are mainly places for study, and they are holy palaces where students gain profound scholarship of different fields.Being open to tourists may distract students' attentionfrom their studies, as well as make a great deal of hustle and bustle in the initially peaceful campus.Most importantly, it may cause unnecessary troubles for students.As a result, it is beneficial to limit tourists so as to guarantee students' personal interests.Meanwhile, I sincerely hope that universities would take into consideration the positive meanings, and hold regular “open” activities in order to improve their reputations as well as enable middle school students to get more information about them, and then help the students make enough preparation for their future.【点评】
文章首段指出如今“大学校园游”盛行,利用被动语态并列句指出其弊端:大学的正常教学秩序被打扰,环境受到影响,大学的文化氛围遭到破坏,引出话题:不少高校纷纷颁布“限游令”;第二段结合作者自己的观点指出是否支持这种做法。最后一段提出建议,希望大学“限游”的同时,结合考虑其积极因素。
第一段中Along with表示“随着”;disturb 和ruin均表示“破坏”。第二段中holy palaces表示“神圣的殿堂”; hustle and bustle表示“喧闹繁杂”;guarantee students' personal interests表示“保障学生的切身利益”。第三段中take into consideration表示“考虑”。

(四)Job Orientation
1. 大学生是先就业后择业,还是从一开始就要有清晰的职业定位?
2. 请给出自己的分析及观点。
【范文】
In recent years, many college students face a big problem about whether they should gain a job first before choosing the most appropriate one, or they should hold a clear job orientation in their mind from the very beginning ?
As far as I am concerned, each choice has its own advantages.Getting a job without interests
helps college students gain enough time to find a better one while adjusting themselves into the real society.On the contrary, choosing a relevant job can avoid blindness employments and save students’ time for striving for their ideals.I completely agree that college students should make out plans for their career and be down-to–earth in carrying out it.Even confronted with the increasing difficulty of getting a job, they should not merely aim at material gains.【点评】
本题谈论的是一种社会现象。文章第一段指出现象---大学生是应该先就业再择业还是先择业后就业呢?文章第二段作者结合自己的观点分析两种不同抉择的有利之处:先就业可以使学生在现实社会中自我调整,为将来找到更合适的作准备。而先择业可以避免盲目就业,为实现理想节约时间。最后一段指出作者自己的观点--大学生应该制定职业规划。
文章第一段中 from the very beginning表示“从最开始”。第二段中On the contrary表示“相反地”,短语striving for their ideals表示“为理想而奋斗”。第三段中down-to–earth表示“脚踏实地的”,material gains表示“物质利益”。

1. 心理问题成校园暴力主因,为避免极端行为的发生,对有“隐性”心理问题的学生进行前期干预尤为重要;

【范文】
In modern society, students are destined to cope with a lot of pressures, from either outer world or inner will.Reports are often heard that some students made violence, committed suicide or murdered their roommates.Students' psychological problems have become the primary cause of “extreme behaviours”.It is vital to take effective actions against psychological problems, especially to those ones without any apparent symptoms.In the first place, the authorities concerned should let students be aware of the utmost significance of mental fitness.Lectures on psychological health should be frequently given and psychological clinics should be set up to provide troubled students with timely help.In the second place, students should keep optimistic in their daily life and let their channel of communication open to their teachers and parents.Even in case of mental illness, they should not hesitate to go to psychological counselors for help.Only with these measures taken can we expect sound growth of students.【点评】
文章首段指出如今大学生受到各种压力,从而产生了各样的心理问题,同时提出有必要采取措施解决大学生的心理问题;第二段结合作者自己的观点提出如何对大学生进行心理干预:首先相关部门应对大学生心理问题引起重视,采取讲座和心理咨询的方式给学生及时提供帮助;其次,大学生应该保持乐观的态度,如遇心理问题,应毫不犹豫寻求心理咨询师的帮助。
第一段第一句中be destined to 表示“注定”;第二句made violence, committed suicide,murdered their roommates均是由心理问题产生的。第二段中In the first place,In the second place 表示列举,意思分别是“第一”,“第二”。not hesitate to do sth.意为“毫不犹豫做某事”。
