一、教育

1. In countries where there is a high rate of unemployment, most pupils should be offered only primary education. There is no point in offering secondary education to those who have no hope of finding a job. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? (08.01.26)

不同意:

中学教育是一个重要的德育阶段,如果在这个时候中断,带来的不仅仅是失业这样的问题,还有青少年犯罪等社会问题vital stage for moral education. If it was interrupted, numerous of social problem/headaches may create as juvenile delinquency. (正如马克吐温说:你每关闭一所学校,你就必须开设一座监狱。Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail )

教育能够帮助培养个人素质;提高劳动力的素质,从而提高生产效率,推动社会发展,从根本上解决失业的问题。do a favor to/be beneficial(advantageous, preferable) to personal quality, enhance/boost/promote the quality of the labor force, thereby increase production efficiency, social development, solve the problem of unemployment

从长远来看,如果受过更高的教育,则有更多的机会找到好的工作。In a long run/term, if pupils could receive better education, they may have far more opportunities to find better jobs.

教育的作用不仅仅应当局限在找工作,而是为了将来更好的发展。The function of education should be not only focused on \limited in job hunting, but also for a better development.

**失业的原因是综合的comprehensive/complicated,例如经济原因:经济衰退或者不景气economy recession/depression,就业岗位剧减,导致市场对于劳动力的需求整体下降 a fall in the overall demand for labor;社会原因,个人原因等

2. Most countries spend much money on education, as they start to realize the importance of education. In your opinion which subject is the most important for young people and which one is the least important?

Subjects: Literature Sports Mathematics Economy Physics History Music Geography (08.03.01)

整个题目可以分为理论科目和实践科目两种:

理论科目的好处:智的角度

实践科目(音乐、体育)的好处:美、体、劳的角度

E.g.: What does sports benefits your academic? Any sport will have a positive effect on academic performance simply because exercise is good for the brain, and teamwork and strategy that are focal to most sports are applicable as well to many academic areas.

理论科目的坏处:枯燥、单调、需要长时间的学习、结合实践时较为困难

体育、音乐的坏处:需要天赋;需要大量时间和金钱的投入;就业范围小,职业生涯短

3. Schoolteachers used to be the source of information, however, some people argue that teachers are not as important as before as the increasing variety of information resources. What is your opinion? (08.0

4.24)

和以前一样重要:(也就是说老师的重要性)

学校教育更加有利于学生的道德培养,尤其对于年龄较小的学生。老师可以帮助学生建立自信心,培养能力,塑造良好的性格最终成为一个有利于社会的人。Teachers could help the students to build up confidence, shape upright character and ultimately grow a full man beneficial to the society.

通过老师的讲解,能够更加容易接受知识。By lectures, students are more easily to receive knowledge.可以根据学生的需要而改变teach students in accordance with their own characteristics and differences

学生在学校里能够参加体育锻炼,有利于身体的健康和成长

学校教育给了学生一个交流、沟通、合作的机会,有利于团队精神team spirit、合作精神cooperation、创新能力innovation的培养foster/cultivation。

其他信息途径的好处(远程教育的好处)

提供了一种更为新颖有效的教育形式an original and effective educational model;增加人们接受教育的机会increase the opportunities of being educated;提高参与者的科技能力develop technology competencies、拓展技术面broaden skill set,从而提高就业机会job opportunity。

为地处偏远和行动不便的人、工作时间不稳定的人提供了受教育的机会those with restricted mobility, such as elderly, disabled, injured, irregular work schedule.

可以同时和全国各地甚至全世界各地的人进行交流和学communicate and interact with students all over the country or even the world

文档和资料容易储存、易提取、打印和阅读documents and materials are easily recorded, retrieved, printed and read

远程教育的缺点:

缺乏和老师面对面的交流lack of in-person contact with faculty members很难及时接受到老师的反馈wait for a long time before receiving feedback about assignments

不能像传统教育那样和同学之间更多地接触,没有机会提高口头交流能力和合作能力等have no chance to enhance oral communication skills and cooperation skills

精力和注意力会被很多东西分散many distractions at home

并不是所有的行业都承认网络教育的学历,缺乏就业认可。not all work industries acknowledge online degrees

4.Schools should teach children some academic subjects, which will be beneficial to their future careers. Therefore, other subjects such as music and sports are not important. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? (08.0

5.22)

同第2题

5.University students always focus on one specialist subject, but some people think universities should encourage their students to study a range of subjects in addition to their own subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? (08.0

6.05)

学习多个科目的好处:

目前很多大学都倾向于专业学习(specialized or vocational education),很多专业都是以就业为本(career-oriented or vocation-oriented)而最近的潮流是重新注重全面教育(general education),注重学生的技能,在不同学科上的应用。

很多学科是交叉的interrelated,学习多种科目有利于了解更多的知识widen scope of knowledge,加深对于专业科目的理解be beneficial/advantageous/preferable to the understanding/comprehension of specialist subjects

毕业之后有更多的工作选择increase employment opportunity,增加竞争力competiveness

当求职市场竞争日趋激烈的时候,在不同专业领域涉猎、对于跨学科学习具备经验的学生有望占据一个主导地位。As the job market is becoming increasingly competitive, students who dabble in different specialized areas and have experience in interdisciplinary study are expected to be in a preponderant position

提高职业竞争力improve competitiveness

6.Some people think that children should obey the rules or do what their parents and teachers want them to do. Other people think that children controlled too much cannot deal with problem alone. Discuss both views and state your own opinion. (08.06.21)

父母的教育方式parenting分为:专断型authoritarian, 管教型authoritative,纵容型permissive和漠不关心型uninvolved。大多数的专家认同和推荐管教型authoritative这一教育模式,即父母会制定基本的规则establish basic guidelines让小孩去遵循,但是同时考虑到小孩的特点和要求,惩罚的时候同时注意开导孩子。

父母和老师制定规则,控制孩子的行为的好处:

孩子缺乏自制力和判断力the children are lack of self-control and judging ability/capability

父母和老师能够根据自己的经验帮助孩子找到正确的发展方向take the right path to success

有助于孩子形成良好的行为习惯form appropriate behavior patterns,改正其不好的行为习惯等stop their misbehaviors

7.Nowadays, more university students choose to study some practical subjects (such as marketing, computer programming, etc.) instead of theoretical subjects (such as economy, math, chemistry). Some people suggest that universities should focus on practical subjects, but not theoretical subjects. What is your opinion?

(08.07.05)

实践科目的好处:

增加学生适应社会的能力:increase the capability of adapting the society

找工作的时候更加有竞争力have more competitiveness in job hunting\seeking

更快的适应新的工作:suit to the new position \career more rapidly

实践性科目往往更加有趣,容易坚持和学习。也可以通过学习增加合作能力和交流能力,some social skills as cooperation ability

培养独立思考能力: self-independent

安静、可以集中精力: quiet, be beneficial to concentration

适合高级阶段的学习suits senior study

9.Once children start school, teachers have more influence than

parents on their intellectual and social development. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (08.09.06)

浅析:教育类的新题。目前题库中没有任何题目与之相近。然而,如果考生聪明一点,完全可以将“老师”引申为“学校”或者“教育”,这样的思路就比较宽。首先看看两个概念。一是什么是intellectual development?Intellectual development refers to the development of one’s ability to think, to understand ideas and to acquire knowledge.

二是什么是social development?Social development refers to the acquisition and improvement of skills that are essential to social life or activities that have relevance to one’s functioning in society.

老师对小孩的学习能力和社会能力的影响:

老师更具有专业性:

老师可以制定教学方法(devise teaching methods),练习(drills),设计功课(design assignments),甚至可以调整课程(revise the curriculum),来提高小孩的学习能力。譬如说,绘画可以提高小孩的想象能力(ability to visualize different subjects),精读(critical reading)可以提高小孩的归纳能力(abilities to summarize key messages of a reading passage) ,实验课(lab experiments)可以提高小孩的观察能力(abilities to observe and detect differences);家长一般是不可能有那么全面的知识,全方面的开发小孩的智力(foster children’s intellectual development in different aspects)

老师可以通过课程和功课的安排,来提高小孩的社会能力。譬如说,体育可以增加小孩的团队精神(inject a strong sense of team spirit),小组作业(group assignments)可以让小孩习惯于相互帮助(join efforts/make joint-effects to deal with problems),参加社区活动(community activities)可以提高小孩对社区的理解(have a strong sense of community)

家长对小孩的学习能力和社会能力的影响:

家长可以指导小孩完成作业(provide instruction),从而确保教育延续到家里(consistency of education between school and home environments);家长可以通过一些课外活动来帮助小孩提高技能,譬如说gardening, 提高小孩的动手能力和解决问题能力(hands-on skills and problem-solving abilities)

家长在小孩的社会生活中起着重要的作用;家长决定了小孩和什么人接触,参加什么社会活动(social activities),决定了社会学习的效果(outcomes of social learning),掌握礼仪(etiquettes)

10.Students from poor background such as rural areas often find it difficult to access to university education, so people think universities should make it especially easy for them to study at. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (08.09.27)

同意:

对个人来讲:农村学生和贫困学生(students from rural or deprived areas)虽然受教育的机会很低,但是不代表着他们没有天赋(aptitudes),知识和态度去适合大学的要求(meet entry requirements),为贫穷学生上大学提供便利可以保证受教育机会的均等,同时,对于贫困生来说,教育意味着改变一生的机会life-changing opportunity大学提供的经济支持和学术支持,可以帮助学生适应城市生活和大学生活adapt to urban life and university life对于贫困地区来说:可以有助于脱贫致富In the long run, only more students attend universities, can this poor area shake off/get rid of poverty. 对于国家和社会来说:仅仅因为经济条件而不能入学,社会就会失去一些优秀的人才(young talent);与此同时,因为受教育机会的不平衡(equal access to education is not guaranteed),贫困学生在就业方面会处于劣势(at a disadvantage),贫富的差距会维持。另外,文化普及率的提升可以提高国民素质,和一个国家的竞争力the improvement of educational level could greatly enhance the quality of the nation basically. Therefore, it may lead to\contribute to the nation's competitiveness in the world.

11.Many people use distance-learning programs (study material post, TV, Internet, etc.) to study at home, but some people think that it cannot bring the benefit as much as attending college or university. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (08.10.23) 12.Memorization of information by frequent repetition (rote learning) plays a role in most education systems. Do the advantages of this method of learning outweigh its disadvantages? (08.12.06)

缺点:

效率低、浪费时间low efficiency

局限创造力limit creativity;枯燥boring

不能灵活应用could not be used vividly

容易遗忘easy to forget,印象不深刻could not leave a deep impression

在较高层次的学习中就不再适用了

13.Some people believe that a country benefits greatly with a high percentage of young people who go to university, while others argue that it only leads to graduate unemployment. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (08.12.13)

Excessive enrollment

导致教育行业的不良竞争lead to/contribute to deteriorate competition

***毕业就失业的原因(同失业的原因):

失业的原因是综合的Comprehensive reasons,例如经济衰退或者不景气recession/depression,就业岗位剧减,导致市场对于劳动力的需求整体下降a fall in the overall demand for labor

还可能社会原因:劳动法制约着雇主labor/job market regulations,使其对员工的招聘特别谨慎;雇主对年轻人抱有偏见和不信任。Prejudice to young inexperienced workers

还可能有个人原因:教育不够inadequate education,没有工作经验,缺乏培训lack of appropriate training缺乏对于劳动力市场的清晰理解a clear understanding of the job market对工资和职业的期望值过高exceedingly high occupational and wage aspirations/expectation,缺乏对于工作的耐性和雇主的忠诚度lack of loyalty to employers 14.Students at schools and universities learn far more from lessons with teachers than from others sources (such as the Internet, television).

比较与第五题的区别:

主体不同: unversity students VS teenagers

18. Some children do not appear to have language talent, so schools should not require then learning a foreign language. What is your opinion? (09.06.20) 浅析:

这是一道教育类的新题. 外语学习的作文题在最近两年有所增加, 是个可以注意的趋势.

支持学校强调外语学习:

全球化让外语学习成为必须完成的学习任务.Language acquisition has evolved from a need to a must in a globalised world.

语言学习已经成为其他科目学习的媒介物和必需品

语言学习涉及到学生未来的交流技能,甚至需要对语言非常熟练achieve superior proficiency.

反对学校强调外语学习:

强制教育可能会导致学生对语言学习的厌恶Demanding language tasks might engender frustration among students, causing their resentment against language acquisition.

语言的学习涉及到文化,过分强调外语学习可能会让学生对于本国文化的学习缺失。

学生应当全面发展,过分强调一科可能会占用学生大部分的精力。很多科目的学习是不需要以外语为基础的,学生未必能够学以致用apply what one has learned to practice

结论:学校应该要求学生学习外语,但是应该给予更多的灵活度.Schools should require students to learn a foreign language, but should be given more flexibility

A concluding remark is that schools should not be held back by some students’ apparent lack of capacity for language learning. Instead, flexibility should be given in learning task design so as to boost students' interest in language acquisition. In a world where nobody is exempt from communication in a second language, learning a foreign language has its justifications.

19. Students are now sent to boarding schools and even other countries (away from home, to study and live on their own). This has become more and more common in many countries. What are the reasons for this? Is it a positive development? (09.07.25)

大意:

学生现在被送到了寄宿学校, 甚至是国外(远离家人, 独力学习和生活). 在很多国家, 这已经变得很普遍. 原因是什么? 是否这代表着一个积极的变化?

在上面留学话题的基础上加入了寄宿学校的内容:

寄宿学校的好处:

因为父母工作的原因,有些家庭总是居无定所have to cope with geographic displacement frequently而寄宿学校可以确保教育的延续性educational continuity

学生的情况可以一直被监督regular supervised study periods成绩会提高更快high achievement standards

集体生活communal life可以培养学生和其他人,比如教职员工和同学的关系the community atmosphere fosters relationship between students and others, as faculty and classmates,增加与人交往的机会培养集体意识

寄宿可以培养学生的独立自主能力和独立生活能力

寄宿学校的坏处:

导致学生和社会隔离to cause to be in a detached or isolated position. 导致孩子和父母的关系疏远alienate children from parents无法满足其情感需要emotional needs从而加大与父母之间的代沟

学生自由掌握的时间减少less free time大部分时候要遵从学校的安排

受同年龄群体的不良影响的机会增加receive negative influence from peer group

Those who study at a boarding school or go overseas for educational purposes have appeared to account for a growing proportion of students in many countries. There are a number of motivators behind parents' decisions to send students to boarding schools or foreign countries. These motivators might be reasonable, but this trend should not be welcomed.

Today, parents are interested in putting their children in an institution remote from the neighborhood, so as to protect their children from the risk of drug use, joining gangs and teen sex. Under the supervision of staff in school, children are required and expected to discipline themselves and concentrate on their schoolwork. In addition, parents are motivated by the idea that their children might improve their abilities to cope with daily problems independently in a boarding school, where they cannot turn to parents for help, even in handling seemingly trivial tasks, such as laundry. Such challenges prepare them well for adulthood, in which they are overwhelmed with various problems.

Parents' initiatives should be appreciated, but it turns out that boarding schools do not offer an answer to their worries. Children might not have those behavior problems commonly found among those from day schools, but the cost of this benefit is children's zero social life. Many students, especially those in early teens, suffer homesickness and depression because of their protracted family detachment. These problems can be even more devastating among those who have to stay overseas all year long. The mundane campus life might nurture the misconception of what the real world is like among students. They might graduate from schools with confusion when they experience problems in making an adjustment from school to society.

Even a shallow review of the problems associated with boarding schools or overseas study can propel us to reassess these two brand-new preferences. Although the boarding school acts as a vacuum and cuts students' potential exposure to social evils, it might meanwhile compromise students' social skills and make them feeble in adults' world.

20.The authorities such as the government decide the subjects and course contents. Some people argue that teachers should make the decision. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (09.08.13)

21. Some people think that students should go to college for further education. However, others state that students should learn the skills of fixing cars or take jobs in industries such as construction, which are more valuable to society. What is your opinion?

22. Caring for children is probably the most important thing to the society. All parents should therefore take the childcare training courses. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement?

(09.09.13)新题

Model Answer:

Children represent both the present and the future. In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in transforming childcare into a formal subject of academic studies. Traditional childcare skills, which are passed on from one generation to another through oral and informal instruction, are not sufficient to guarantee quality care, so parents' participation in care training is advisable.

Many parents might be accustomed to the idea that childcare is all about love, but this notion is misleading. While it is easy to admit that parents are responsible to attend to children's needs, it is also important to note that children are too often insatiable. Unlike adults, they have no idea of what their behaviors lead to. For example, children are candy lovers without knowledge that candy can cause obesity and tooth damage. Parents should not respond to children's needs for candy permanently. Parents who give whatever children want, known as indulgent parents, can be blamed for their children's behavior problems and unhealthy habits. Childcare training teaches parents how to take a holistic approach to care for their children and prevents them from answering children's inappropriate needs.

Another misconceived idea of childcare is that it is a simple process of feeding children and making them to sleep regularly. Contemporary childcare is not limited to this. Equally important for this science are emotional and mental wellbeing. For example, some children's first step comes earlier than other children's not necessarily because these children have intake of more nutrition but simply because they are

more intelligent and curious about the physical environment. Childcare is a complex science that goes beyond nutrition. Whether parents have helped children improve motor skills and cognitive skills accounts for children's overall wellbeing.

The points put forward above, I believe, offer some insights into childcare. Successful childcare does not lie only in love but also in skills. Children's healthy development is measured not only by physical wellbeing but also by growth in other dimensions. With these borne in mind, parents might now be compelled to join childcare training.

23.In some countries, some school leavers choose to work or travel for a period of time between finishing high school and attending university. Discuss advantages and disadvantages of this decision.

二、工作生活与意识形态(共15题,占17.6%)

工作生活与意识形态这一类考题在一些参考数目中也被叫做生活方式和社会观念类考题。一般来说,这一类题目可以从三大角度来考虑:1、外部环境(自然环境、生活环境的变化和影响)2、社会因素(家人的利益、朋友的选择、社会地位)3、个人因素(收入情况、个人爱好、年龄结构、受教育程度的变化)

26.The older generations have very traditional ideas about the correct ways of life, thinking and behavior. However, some people think that these ideas are not helpful for the young generation to prepare for modern life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? (08.01.19)

老年人的思维和生活方式不会制约年轻人:

每个人的观念是不同的,也很难受到他人的影响。尤其对于年轻人来说更是这样,因为他们更为独立。

Different individuals hold different perceptions; it is hard to receive influence from others. Especially for the young people, for they are more independent.

老年人的传统思维和生活方式有助于年轻人形成良好的道德观念和生活习惯。The traditional way of thinking\thoughts and lifestyle are advantageous \beneficial to the young people to form good virtue and habits. As a case in point, the old people tend to do exercise in the morning, which may do a favor to health.

老年人的生活经验能够提高我们对于现代社会的了解、避免走弯路。The experience of the older can provide us a better understanding of modern society. For instance, the rich experience of the old people may pave a way \lay a foundation for the young people, help them avoid\escape from the same mistake, promote\improve\enhance the work efficiency. 27.People living in big cities face many problems today. What are the problems? Should the government encourage people to live in regional towns? (08.02.14)

问题:

Traffic jams

Pollution

Housing shortage (housing price; real estate price)

High pressure

Overpopulation

High consumption(most of income has to spend on daily necessities)

Be occupied everyday (owning to the fast development of science and technology, people have to receive further education and on-the-job training)

乡村生活的好处:

Be in close contact with nature, living in peace and quiet. Go without the trouble of pollution, traffic problems Less pressure, slow pace of life

城市生活的好处:

Medical care

Educational resources

Shopping

Transportation

Job opportunity

迁移可能造成一些社会问题,例如犯罪

28.?Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. ?- US movie actor & director John Wayne. Why is it important for individuals and countries to think about the future rather than focusing on the present? (08.02.16)

这是一道比较新颖的题目,该题的背景介绍为一句名人名言,也是不多见的形式。不过该题并没有给考生的审题带来太大的障碍,因为后面的提问句的表述还是非常简洁清晰的。这道题不像以前的雅思作文题目,非常浪漫的一个考题。给人发挥的空间很大,你可以告别以前所有雅思写作生涩的模板和套句,充满激情地尝试这篇文章。下面我们挑出其中一个新颖,并且对于大多数同学来说比较有难度的题目:

Tomorrow is another day. Although living in the current society keeps us away from the shadows of the past, it is more important for individuals and countries to think about the future than focusing on the present. Three episodes from history serve as compelling examples of this fact.

明天是新的一天,虽然生活在当下世界让我们远离过去的影子,对于个人和国家来说似乎考虑未来比关注现在更加重要。历史上的三

个小片段可以作为这个观点的例证。

Where there is future, there is hope. Even after the Supreme Court struck down segregation in 1954, human-rights offenses were both law and custom in much of America. Before Martin Luther King and his movement, a tired and respectable Negro seamstress like Rosa Parks could be thrown into jail and fined simply because she refused to give up her seat on an Alabama bus so a white man can sit down. A six-year-old black girl like Emmett Till could be hunted down and murdered by a Mississippi gang simply because he wanted to go to the same school as white children. For hundreds of years, African Americans had been tired of the that America claimed to be the leader of the ‘free world' without inviting smirks of segregation upon the land of itself. Martin Luther King, however, had not lost his hope; his belief in nonviolence never swerved. From the time he assumed leadership of the Montgomery bus boycott, he foretold a future America where children would not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Subsequent mass demonstrations culminated in the March on Washington in which he delivered his famous ?I Have a Dream? speech. On that day, he saw tomorrow; upon danger, he saw hope. That is why he succeeded.

有未来的地方就有希望,即使是在1954年最高法院废除种族隔离之后,对于人权在法律和习俗方面的进攻仍然充斥在美国的很多地方。在马丁路德金和他的运动之前,一个勤劳而受人尊敬的女裁缝Rosa Parks被扔进监狱仅仅是因为简单的她没有在阿拉巴马州的一辆公交车上给一个白人让座位;一个6岁的黑人小丫头被一个密西西比流氓枪杀仅仅是因为她想要和白人上同样的学校。几百年来,美国人已经厌倦了这种美国人所宣称的自由世界的伪善。然而马丁路德金却没有丧失他的希望,他坚信非暴力永远不能扭转局势,从他开始宣布蒙哥马利公车联合抵制,他就预言了一个未来的美国,孩子们将不会被根据肤色来决定学校。紧接着,大量的人在3月的华盛顿云集在那里呢,他发表了著名的我有一个梦想的演说,在那一天他看到了明天,在危险之上他看到了希望,这就是他成功之所在.

The fact that the future deserves more attention than the present also stands true for a country. During the Great Depression, ideologues in America believed that the economic downturn had imposed the country a either choice: if you abandon laissez-faire you are condemned to a total betrayal of capitalism and democracy. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, however, stood firmly in America's ability to regain control over its future. His New Deal swiftly introduced measures for social protection, regulation and control. His actions succeeded in protecting the nation from major economic crisis for nearly 80 years.

未来比现在更加重要对于一个国家来说同样是事实。在大萧条时期,美国的理论家认为这种经济的低迷时期给了美国另一种选择: 如果你放弃自由主义,你将会被宣告为一个彻底背叛资本主义和民主主义的人。然而,富兰克林,却坚决的站在这样的立场上—美国有能力重新获得控制未来的能力。他的新政迅速地为社会保护、调整和控制提供了方法,他的行为成功的保护了一个国家在长达80年的时间里免受巨大经济危机的侵袭。

Had the prejudice of hundreds of years disbelieved Martin Luther King of a free world, he would die in vain. Had the failure of capitalism blinded America from looking forward, no changes would be made to better its administration. All in all, the future always weighs heavier than the present. 如果马丁路德金关于自由世界的梦想在几百年来被怀疑,他的死将是没有价值的。如果资本主义的失败蒙住了美国人向前方看去的视野,它的行政将不会有任何的转机。总之,未来永远比现在更加重要。

公民的健康状况直接关系到学习和工作的效率,从而决定整个社会的发展进度The health condition of the citizens has a direct relationship with the learning and working efficiency, thereby decides the progressing rate of the whole society. 良好的社会健康状况可以让政府减少对于公共医疗事业的投资,从而把更多的精力放在一些关键项目上,例如教育和公共交通 A high-quality health condition may decrease the government’s investment on medical care; therefore the government can attract more attention from medical expense to education and public transportation.

认真关注国民的健康状况是政府的一大职责。只有提高公民的整体健康状况才能树立政府的良好形象。Being the critical obligation of the government, only improves the whole healthy condition of the nation can the authorities build up a good image.

30.Some people think it is the responsibility for government to ensure that people have healthy lifestyles. Others think people should be free for their own lifestyles decisions. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. (08.03.29) 31.Many people are busy with work and do not have enough time to spend with families and friends. Why does this happen? What are the effects to the whole family and society?

?许多人忙于工作,没有太多的时间用来陪伴家人和朋友,为什么会产生这样的状况? 这种状况对于家庭生活和整个社会的影响是什么??这道题就很好的体现这类考题的一个考点:人们生活方式的改变对于社会和家人的影响。这种改变不仅体现在工作和生活的调节和冲突上,而且体现在生活的各个方面,衣---人们对现代服饰的要求不仅仅是遮体和保暖,而是更加注重社会因素,比如时尚,

我们的最后一个考题考察的就是这个点。食—随着全球化的进程,快餐的流行已经不再新鲜,各国特色的美食随处可见,进口食品也成为最大的时尚。

原因:

现代生活让人们压力增大,就业的压力、升学的压力、生存的压力等Modern life increases people’s pressure, including employment, attending schools and survival problems.

人们为了适应竞争,需要不断接受教育和培训to adapt to competition, people have to receive education and on-the-job training.

人与人之间的亲情友情感减弱是现代社会的一个趋势the alienation between people is an irreversible trend

现代社会人更加关注自身的发展people tend to pay more attention to their self-development.

影响:

好的影响:提高了生活水平living standard和个人的素质personal quality;促进了社会的发展contribute to the development of the society

坏的影响:人们之间的感情变淡,冷漠indifference,可能会感觉孤独,无助helpless;影响家庭的稳定stability of the family;家庭和个人是社会的细胞the cell of the society,如果出现不稳定,会影响社会的发展

32.Some people believe that the fittest and strongest individuals and teams always success in sports. Others think that success in sports depends on mental attitudes. Discuss both views and give your opinions. (08.05.31)

支持心态(mental attitude)更重要的观点:

好的心态可以让运动员能够接受恶劣的条件(accept the agonizing conditions),坦然面对逆境(stay calm in the face of adversity),克服障碍(overcome obstacles),影响着他们的表现(dictate their performance),让他们在压力下也能保持注意力集中和全力以赴(their persistence and their ability to focus under pressure)

好的心态会让运动员去构想他们成功的表现(visualize their winning performance),激发他们的斗志(stimulate their competitive spirit),运动员自己觉得自己能够赢(Capable to win);反之,如果没有好的心态,运动员对自己的期望就有局限(limit expectations),一个斗志昂扬的运动员(at his/her mental peak)可以发挥到自己的最佳状态(perform at his/her best)

如果两个具备同等天赋的运动员放在一起,意志坚强的总能在大部分时候胜出If two equally talented professional athletes are put together, the mentally stronger of the two will win most of the time.

在专业体育中,大部分的运动员身体状态都是出色的,真正导致不同的是他们的心理忍受能力In professional sports, a majority of athletes are at the same physical excellence, so what separates them from each other is mental capacity. 反对心态(mental attitude)更重要的观点:

过分强调心态让运动员高估自己(overrate his/her own capabilities),只会在失败后更加沮丧(feel a stronger sense of frustration)

体育运动是以身体和团队为基础的,心态只是一个辅助因素

33. In modern society, fashion is becoming more and more popular in people's choice of clothes. Why? Do you think it is a positive development or negative development?

(08.11.08)

人们追求时装的原因:

经济发展的产物:收入增加,让人们可以购买不同的衣服(expand the range of clothes worn)

现在的人们越来越个人化(individualistic),时装是一种表现自我的方式(a form of self-expression),可以展现人的性格、心情和审美观(personality, mood and aesthetic appreciation)。全球化的产物:全球化促进了各种文化的融合(mixture of different cultures),时装设计师可以从不同文化中获得灵感(draw up the inspiration from different costumes),人们接触不同文化的机会增加(exposure to different cultures),因此他们接受时装就更加大胆(become bold fashion wearers)

支持追求潮流的观点:

创造新的经济增长点和就业机会Stimulate consumption. Make contribution to the development of economy

新时代的时尚fashion in the new era不一定意味着高消费,也并非一定穿着某种款式的衣服,充分考虑了消费者的需求consider the consumer demand fully,不象人们想的那样肤浅not as superficial as some people think

时装是自我表达的一种体现 a means of self-expression,表现人的性格和喜好reflect one’s personality or likes让人们在生活中体验不同的角色allow people to try on many roles in life,同时使得世界更加多样化make world diversified

反对追求潮流的观点:

潮流变化太快,盲目追求时尚可能造成过度消费follow fashion blindly/slavishly/Sequaciously may cause excessive consumption,从而导致浪费,成为购物狂shopaholic或者fashion victims,忽略质量neglect the quality等

失去自己的判断和喜好dwell too much on what others think 鼓励人们将衣服和地位、社会阶层还有财富联系在一起associate clothing with status, social class and wealth,造成歧视。

可能导致产业内的恶性竞争 deteriorate competition

34. Some people believe that improve public health should increase the number of sports facilities; others believe that it has little effects and need other measures to improve it. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (09.02.28)

35.Some people think music plays an important role in society. Others think it is simply a form of entertainment. Discuss both sides of this argument and give your own opinion.

(09.03.07)

36.Some people think it is more important to spend public money on promoting healthy lifestyle in order to prevent illness than to spend it on the treatment for people who are already ill. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

(09.03.21)

37.Nowadays,people live in the society where consumer goods are cheaper to buy. Do you think its advantages outweigh disadvantages? (09.04.04)

好处:

为消费者带来了更大的实惠和利益bring more benefits to the consumers, in particular for the low-income groups,尤其对于低消费人群

促进消费promote consumption,尤其in particular/particularly 是在经济低迷的时候economy depression/recession

可能为商家带来更多的利润bring more profits to the sellers 从实质上缩小了贫富差距reduce/narrow the gap between poor and rich essentially

坏处:

低价的原因可能是降低成本或者数量,从而商品的质量得不到保障,或者过时 out of fashion

会影响品牌的市场定位和价值

可能会导致商家的恶性竞争

38.Some people think museums should be enjoyable places to attract and entertain young people. But others think the purpose of museums is to educate, not to entertain. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. (09.04.30)

应该具有娱乐性的原因:

适应社会的发展需要,吸引更多的年轻人be beneficial/advantageous to

喻乐于教,instill enjoyment into education可以激发年轻人的兴趣spark/trigger interests,生动的形式更加有利于年轻人对知识的记忆和理解vivid ways can benefit the comprehension 如果博物馆具有了娱乐性,可以成为年轻人的娱乐放松场所,来释放压力If the museum was enjoyable, it could be a new entertainment to release pressure.

让博物馆更加多样化diversified,适应市场需要

应该具有教育性的原因:

大多数博物馆的气氛都是庄重严肃的,娱乐性可能会破坏原有的文化

年轻人可能会忽略教育和知识本身,只关注娱乐young people could neglect the knowledge and only focus their attention on entertainment.

娱乐性可能让博物馆变得商业化,从而导致恶性的竞争.

39.A hundred years ago, people think that human race is steadily improving in every area of life. Now it seems this is not certain in that situation. In which areas do you think we have made important progress nowadays? In which areas do you think we still need to make progress? (09.05.21)

科技、教育进步很大:

科技:网络、媒体化、数字化、自动化、生产效率提高……

教育:教育方式多样化(远程教育)、教育途径和受教育的机会增加(出国留学,扩招)

仍然需要改进的:

医疗:产生了很多新的流行疾病 epidemic diseases,但却没有良好的对应措施counter measures;对于一些落后地区undeveloped areas,医疗条件很差;医疗设备不够先进 advanced ,医疗资源不充足medical resource is inadequate

环境:新型的污染物、科技发展的同时产生了不可解决的环境问题40.Professional workers (e.g., nurses, doctors and teachers) should be paid more than sports and entertainment personalities. Do you agree or disagree? (09.11.14)

Sports stars, film stars and musicians are widely known as high-income earners in many societies. One issue that has survived in past decades is whether these people deserve what they are earning, compared to those working in other professions, such as nursing, medical care and teaching. There are arguments that make it impossible to give any conclusive remark about this issue.

The fact that entertainment and sports are industries offering better-paid jobs finds its answers in some social trends. These industries are expanding rapidly from an economic perspective, because of their growing importance in people's leisure life. People watch television operas, go to the cinema and have their favorite sports players. The economic value of sportsmen and movie stars is matchless. Their personal charm is a powerful weapon for advertisers to stimulate the sales of given products and services. There is no denying that those in other professions can hardly perform a similar task.

While it is evident that these high-profile figures' salaries are justified, it is also true that their income is too often excessively high. People are guided to think that famous stars make multi-million dollars simply by having a brief appearance on a TV commercial, while nurses and teachers struggle with more satisfactory incomes by devoting much of their daily life to their careers. This can be harmful to the fabric of society. Young people daydream about the day when they rise to prominence overnight, rather than focusing on the development of specializations, such as nursing, which are more realistic objectives.

With all these facts taken into account, we might find it difficult to justify the income of people in one industry by citing standards in other industries. Reputed athletes and distinguished actors and actresses have derived more wealth from their careers than people from industries, a fact

revealing their prominent role in advertising. However, the negative impact of this trend, especially the impact on the younger generation, is worrying.

三、科技(共10题,占11.7%)

科技类考题的考点主要集中在科技发展对生活的影响和人们生活方式的改变上

积极影响:

电脑和自动化automation设备equipment使得生产效率更高the production efficiency is enhanced greatly by the popularity of computerization and automation equipment

促进了经济发展和推动了社会的进步

给人们的日常生活带来极大的便利,提高了人们的生活水平…could bring great convenience to our daily lives and promote the standard of living.

通过网络可以做很多事情,比如购物和处理个人财务,不用浪费时间在交通上People can do numerous of affairs via\by\through network/Internet, as a case in point, shopping and dealing with the financial affairs. Namely, people could spend less time on commuting. 联系方便easy contact

获得信息更加容易the science and technology make it easier to obtain information.

负面效应:

因为竞争激烈,人们需要接受职业培训和教育.随着生活节奏加快,压力增大,和家人朋友相聚的时间减少Because of the fierce competition, people have to receive on-the-job training and further education. Along with the fast pace of modern life and the increase of pressure, it is hard for the mass to take family reunion.

网络交流让人们不愿意外出inactive\immobile lifestyle (在家宅着),和外界的联系减少,性格变得孤僻Internet communication make a large amount\tremendous of people live an inactive life (keep a …lifestyle ). Owning to \By reason of the decrease of outside touch\connection, their personalities may become isolated\solitary

人们在享受着网络娱乐和其他媒体所带来的娱乐时容易忽视和家人的交流Along with the leisure lives have been enriched which brought by the Internet amusement\entertainment and other media, people are tending to neglect\overlook the communications with family members.

生产效率提高,工业化程度的加强,导致劳动力的需求减少,许多

企业不得不裁员Along with the

enhancement\boost\elevation\improvement of efficiency and the reinforcement of industrialization, the requirement of labor force is

decreasing, thereby many corporations have to reduce the staff.

快节奏的生活会引起疾病The fast pace life can increase the possibility of lifestyle diseases, such as obesity, stroke, diabetes, heart disease and so forth.

科技可能会产生新的污染

41.Mobile phones and the Internet are very useful. However, it is rare for old people to use them. What ways could mobile phone and the Internet are useful to old people? How does the old people to be encouraged using this new technology? (08.06.28)

手机的好处:

老年人常有小恙(suffer ill health),如果有突发事件,可以联系急救(make an emergency call in the event of trouble);也方便医务人员(health professionals)和家庭医生(family doctors)联系;

因特网的好处:

因特网有娱乐价值(entertainment value);通过在网络上和人聊天,在留言版(discussion board)上参与讨论,老年人不会感到被社会排挤(a sense of exclusion );

因特网甚至可以让老年人在家里每天花点时间工作,为社区或者企业提供服务,譬如说咨询(provide consultancy);不仅可以补贴养老金(complement pension),对老年人的心理健康也有帮助(contribute to psychological wellbeing)

如何鼓励老年人使用因特网和手机:

减低费用(reduce service fees)免费试用,让老年人感受电脑和手机所带来的好处could send the products to the old people for free. (Tryout for free)

个人化服务(personalised service)可以让电脑和手机的设置更加简单,例如,一些复杂的程序可以删减,例如蓝牙和录像。It is better to make the computer and mobile phone simple- equipped .As a case in point; some complicated\sophisticated programs could be deleted\canceled, just as Bluetooth and video.相关机构可以开发一些特殊的产品来满足老年人的特殊需要。例如可以把屏幕设计的更大、声音更响亮、手写。related organizations could explore special goods \products that may satisfy the needs of the old people. For instance, the screen can be designed to be larger and clearer.

商家和志愿者可以采取一些措施,教给老年人如何使用一些功能,例如拍照built-in cameras、发邮件、语音留言voice calls、下载铃声ring tones、浏览网页Internet browsing 。帮助老年人学会使用,譬如说发一些简明的手册user-friendly pamphlets

42.Some people support the developments in agriculture such as factory farming and creations of new types of fruits and vegetables, while others oppose this view. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (08.07.12)

支持农业技术发展的观点:

农业技术改良农作物的基因(modify the gene of crops),从而提高产量(raise productivity),譬如说减少虫害的影响(pest-resistant or disease-resistant),加速成长(hasten the growth of crops);减少某些地区的饥荒问题(relieve famine)

农业技术可以让农作物大批量生产(achieve economies of scale),把农作物放在温室里培植可以保证种植不受季节影响(reduce the impact of seasonality)

对于某些地区,基因食物的产生可以增加食品的多样性(improve the richness of food varieties),让人们吸收更多的营养(increase the intake of nutrition)

机械化农业可以提高生产效率production efficiency,节约劳动力

save the labor force,增加产量increase output/production

研发新型农作物可以丰富人们的生活enrich our daily life,提高生活质量enhance living quality;创造新的经济增长点create new industries,给农民带来更大的利益

反对农业技术发展的观点:

有一些技术改变了农作物的基因,伤害农作物的营养价值(reduce the nutrition value of crops);很多时候,基因食物对人体的影响还有很多未知因素(the effect of genetically modified foods on human bodies is unknown or untested)

机械化农业可能会导致失业

可能导致浪费、污染

研发新的农作物有一定的市场风险,投资巨大;可能对健康有害

因为工厂种植,很多食物的品种慢慢被我们放弃了(abandon plant varieties),我们的农业种植集中在少数几种农作物,我们的饮食越来越单调(monotonous diet)

43.There are more workers to work from home and more students to study from home. This is because the computer technology is more and more easily accessible and cheaper. Do you think it is a positive or negative development? (08.11.15)

优点:

增加工作和学习的灵活性increase the flexibility dramatically

减少上下班以及上下学的时间reduce interruptions and commuting time从而减少给社会交通带来的压力This lifestyle may reduce interruptions and commuting time, thereby decrease the traffic pressure.

增加学习工作的动力increase motivation减少在学校以及办公室要面临的压力The motivation could be boosted dramatically because of the reduction of pressure\stress, which we have to face in school and office.

节省空间和设备,从而减少费用支出It may save space and other facilities thereby reduce costs.

缺点:

不利于管理学生和员工,缺乏监督By reason of lacking monitor about performance, it is disadvantageous to manage the students and staff.

很难保持团队精神,缺乏交流,同事和同学之间有疏远感It is difficult to keep team spirit and is lack of communication between members, which may produce a sense of isolation.

44.Some people say modern children's games do not develop a wide range of skills, while traditional games can be much better for developing such skills. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

(08.11.29)

现代游戏的好处:

更加丰富和多样化diversity,可以开发孩子的智力develop children’s intelligence

现代游戏是以网络为基础的based on Internet,可以让孩子更加适应现代生活be accustomed to modern life 现代游戏大多是室内的indoor,较为安全

单独的,提高孩子的独处能力

传统游戏的好处:

较为简单,可以激发孩子的创造力和动手能力The traditional games are tend to be simple-eq uipped, which may inspire children’s practical ability\capability and creativity.

户外的,可以让孩子得到很好的锻炼。对身体的伤害更小cause less damage to health.

传统游戏大多需要多人去玩,可以增强孩子交流能力和社交能力等45.Some people believe the range of technology available to individuals today is increasing the gap between poor people and rich people. Others think it is having an opposite effect. Discuss these points of view. What is your opinion? (09.01.10)

科技加深了贫富差距:

富人能够购买科技产品,从而提高生产效率,创造更多的财富,也就是说科技所带来的便利和快捷往往只能由富人享有

核心core, nuclear、尖端的科学技术和科技产品需要巨大的金钱和地位才能获得

穷人往往没有条件和机会接触、学习新的科技,而财富的获得越来越多的需要以获得科技为基础

科技缩小了贫富差距:

网络的发达让穷人可以廉价地获得信息和接受到教育,从而有机会改变贫穷现状

科技的发达让商品更加便宜,尤其是一些科技产品,穷人和富人之间的生活差距会减小

46.Today, people can work and live in anywhere they want, because of the improvement of communication technology and transportation. Do advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages? (09.01.17)

47.It has been believed that people who read for pleasure have developed imagination and good language skills than people who prefer to watch TV. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

(09.05.16)

科技对于阅读方式的影响

看电视:直接、印象深刻、容易理解、相对轻松,同时利用听觉和视觉,效果较好,信息量更大

读书:激发想像spark the imagination,对于文字的记忆更好更直接,对于读写能力的提高更大,方便,更有效率,有效信息较多。而人们如果通过看电视这样的方式,很能收到多种信息的interruption,注意力不集中

48.Many people are optimistic about the 21st century and see it as an opportunity to make positive changes to the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree with their optimism? What changes would you like to be made in the new century? (09.07.23)

People's optimism about the 21st century can be understood by the upsurge in the interest in science and technology around the

world. This upbeat attitude is further supported by the proliferation of novel inventions and state-of-the-art technologies that have emerged in recent years. While the world's continued advance in various domains (e.g science) is noteworthy, this advance does not come without its problems.

Much of the world's achievement in the 21st century or in the 20th century has been made at the cost of environment and the poorest people and countries. The automobile industry has developed rapidly, but the side-effect of this development is the degrading environment, which is characterized by increased greenhouse emissions and abnormal climates. The growing demand for commodities has prompted the world's factories to increase output incessantly, accelerating the consumption of energy and other resources. Leading countries have advocated globalization and promoted this as a way of achieving countries' shared prosperity, but the truth is that the gap between rich and poor countries is widening, rather than narrowing.

In view of the downside of the world's seemingly positive changes, the question remains: what changes can be made in the new century? Without any doubt, how to maintain the current momentum without causing further damage to the environment should be the issue on top agenda. Scientists and inventors should update the environmental impact of their inventions before commercializing them and introducing them to the public. Meanwhile, leading countries for their own benefits should not manipulate globalization. Policies and regulations should be rerated and adjusted to make sure that developing countries can benefit from countries' closer ties in trade, politics and social issues.

Measured against world standards, changes can be a complex topic that encompasses many issues but two urgent issues that require immediate actions are the environment and globalization. A world that fails to address these two issues can by no means be deemed as perfect.

49. The development of technology has changed the way people interact with each other. In which ways has technology changed the relationship between people? Does it have any positive or negative effect? (09.08.08)

四、环境与动物保护(共10题,占11.7% )

关于动物保护:

保护动物的意义:

维护生态系统maintain natural ecosystems,保持生态平衡have profound impacts on the sustainability of an ecosystem and the well being of humanity.食物链的稳定All animals are connected in one way or another in food chains,确保可持续发展consistent with the principle of sustainable development

Animals, as a significant part of an ecosystem, have profound impacts on the sustainability of an ecosystem and the well being of humanity. All animals are connected in one way or another in food chains. For this reason, the demise of a species can lead to overpopulation or under population of another species and then put this species at the verge of extinction. The natural balance will be disrupted and the ecosystem cannot be sustained.

人类可以从动物身上获得灵感draw on animal-based research for inspiration

人类可以探知物种的起源,进行科学研究

动物有生存的权利,应该维护动物的权益animal welfare

关于动物试验:

支持

动物不能够进行道德的判断,也不会尊重其他动物的权利因此动物不能等同于人类

A fact to support animal-based experiment is that animals are not the equivalent\counterpart of humans, and can be used as resources for human purpose. Animals have no capacity to make moral choices and could not recognize the rights of other animals. Nor will they take in consideration the interests of other species. It is possible one of the main reasons why animals feed on each other.

Humans, in comparison, use animal experimentations not only for their own interests but also for the benefits of animals. For instance, some medical discoveries can be used by veterinary surgeons to give medical care and treatment to sick animals.

动物的神经系统不如人类发达,痛苦已经最小化minimize pain,而如果是在人类身上做试验是不人道的vivisection practiced on human beings is inhumane;动物和人相似bear a resemblance to humans对外部的影响和人类反应相似respond similarly to external disturbances,因此最适合做替代品。而且人类目前找不到代替动物的试验品replacement,substitution

人类的利益应该建立在动物的利益之上human interest should be placed above animal welfare,利用动物做实验有利于科技的发展

反对

动物的生存权需要被保护,禁止虐待行为the prohibition of torture 很多时候,动物试验的目的只是为了一些商业用途commercial purposes,这是不道德的,例如化妆品产业the cosmetic industry has been exploiting animal experiment simply for diversifying products and maximizing profits. The fewer cosmetics people use, the fewer animals they have to slaughter.

动物试验的结果是和信息是不可靠的,具有误导性unreliable and misleading毕竟动物和人类有很大的不同

关于动物做食物:

支持

富含蛋白质high in protein和必要的营养物质essential nutrients,没有替代品alternative

动物没有道德能力(同上)

食物链food chain有捕食者hunters也有被捕食者prey,物竞天择,适者生存,这是自然法则

反对

肉类富含动物脂肪和胆固醇high in saturated fat and cholesterol,吃肉过多over consumption有害健康

所有动物都有生命权entitled to possess their own lives

工业化农场经营导致环境污染,一些食物是疾病的来源responsible for the food borne disease,进而影响健康pose health risks

50.Some people think it is acceptable to use animals for the benefit of humans. Other people think it is wrong to exploit animals for human purposes. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

(08.02.02)

同意:

人类开发使用动物,但很多都是在可接受的范围之内的acceptable,例如,我们大多食用一些家禽、牲畜而不是野生动物,对于生态平衡不会产生影响;现在的很多动物试验都是在人道并且不杀死动物的前提下进行的;我们使用的皮毛大多来源于人工饲养的动物,不会对生态平衡造成威胁;我们为了娱乐饲养宠物,而他们也得到了关爱;我们建动物园,在观赏和娱乐的同时,也保护了很多濒危的动物。

不同意:

很多人为了利益,非法猎杀野生动物

现代的医学试验,虽然大多不需要杀死动物,但无可避免给动物带来痛苦

很多动物在动物园里虽然得以生存,但是失去了自由和在野外环境生存的能力

51.One long-distance flight consumes fuel, which a car uses in several years' time, but they cause the same amount of pollution. So some people think that we should discourage non-essential flights, such as tourist travel, rather than to limit the use of cars. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view? (08.04.05)

限制私家车:

操作起来更为简单carry out easily

限制私家车可以在消除污染的同时,减缓交通压力和城市的拥挤状况Meanwhile, the traffic pressure and crowded condition could be released/reduced.

私家车所带来的便利可以用其他公共交通方式来代替could be replaced by other approaches, as bus and tube/subway,例如地铁和巴士;而长途航班用其他方式来代替则会给人们带来极大的麻烦

限制非必要航班:

跟其他交通方式相比,Compared with other transportations, flights consume more fuel and discharge more pollution.从污染量上来看,航班的污染更大,从燃油的消耗量上来看,也是航班更多

非必要的航班是可以取消的,对我们的正常生活没有很大的影响;而私家车已经变成了人们的生活必需品daily necessity ,如果取消cancel会给我们的生活带来极大的不便great inconvenience,从而影响经济和社会的发展

可以通过其他途径来解决we can adopt other approaches.

52.Many people think cheap air travel should be encouraged because it gives ordinary people freedom to travel further. However, others think this leads to environmental problem, so air travel should be more expensive in order to discourage people from having it. Discuss the both sides and give your own opinion. (08.06.14) 机票应当便宜:

飞行旅行对于普通人仍然是奢侈的luxurious,然而机票降价就会让他们享受到旅行的快乐

缩小穷人和富人之间的生活差距,保证secure/guarantee 了社会的平等equality和人权human right

我们可以采用其他的方式来减缓环境的压力,而不能因此拒绝航空旅行给我们带来的便利,毕竟环保不是人类发展的主题we can adopt other approaches to release the environmental pressure rather than decline the convenience that air travel brings us, after all, environmental protection is not the subject of human development与其他交通工具相比,飞机具有不可比拟的优势incomparable advantages,例如舒适、快捷

飞机排放的气体对大气的影响要远远低于工业废气industrial air pollution和汽车尾气car emission

技术的发展已经让飞机更加省油fuel-efficient ,排气量变低,一些减轻影响的措施已经实施mitigation measures have been taken

机票应当更贵:

相较于其他的交通方式,飞机的污染是最大的,如果机票便宜了,可能会让飞机成为一种主要的长途旅行方式,增加环境负担burden。飞机排放出大量破坏环境的气体environmental destructive gases,会破坏臭氧层the ozone layer特别是私人使用的喷气式飞机jet plane

降价decrease the price可能会导致航空公司airlines间的恶性竞争,为了保证成本,undoubtedly无疑要增加航班数量,这时带来的不仅仅是更大的污染量,还可能有浪费

机票涨价之后,旅客能够享受到更加优质的服务high-quality service 增加搭乘飞机的费用会减少短途航班(short-haul flights), 减少二氧化碳的排放(reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide), 促使航空公司购买比较节省油的飞机(fuel-efficient airliners

低的航班费用会导致乘坐固定航班的乘客人数的显著增加。Low-cost airline travel has been responsible for the marked growth in the number of passengers who take trips on scheduled airlines.

53.Some people think international cooperation has brought benefits to world environment protection, while some people think more benefits has been brought to international business. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. (08.07.26)

国际合作给环保带来的好处:

从环境问题本身来讲:很多环境问题在开始的时候可能是地区性的regional,但最后会成为全球性的worldwide,主要原因是人们共享着地球资源share the earth supply,例如,空气污染和水污染会从一个地方扩展到另一个地方transport pollution from one location to another 单方面的努力是不够的unilateral moves are not enough,如果采取多变行动take strong multilateral actions可以互通有无,共享人力、资源、技术International cooperation can cover the shortage of the technique and labor force

共享治理成果,分享经验exchange the experience, shoulder the responsibility and finally bring the environmental problems under control\restriction.

反对国际合作解决环保问题:

如果所有环境问题都由国际合作解决,比较耗费时间time-consuming and inefficient,而且由于很多问题是独立的isolated problems完全可以由当地政府来解决tackled by the local or national government

造成环境问题的原因因地而异causes and solutions differ from one region to another国际经验未必适合于特定的地区international practices might not apply locally.

***国际合作给贸易带来的好处:

形成双赢的局势form a win-win situation,促进全球经济发展

互通有无,共享人力、资源、技术With its collective wealth of experience, knowledge, and resources, international cooperation is in a unique position to bring environmental problems under control.

增强优势企业superior enterprises的国际化和竞争力,淘汰劣势企业inferior enterprises和产品,即优胜劣汰survival of the fittest

国际贸易加强的同时,人们的生活也会得到改善和提高,例如我们可以购买到各国的产品

给了很多人才talented person; talent; qualified personnel; people with special skills; competent people; human talents全球化的就业机会和视野

54.Many people think it is very important to protect environment but they make no effort to do it themselves. Why does it happen? How to solve this problem? (08.09.13)

原因:

很多人将环保的责任归于政府和相关的组织而非个人Majorities of people subscribe the responsibility to the government and related administrations instead of/rather than individuals.譬如说植树造林(afforestation),保护水源等,个人不可能完成。

很多人不清楚自己行为对环境产生的伤害(not aware of the environmental impact of their behaviors),也不知道怎么去保护环境(have little knowledge of how to protect the environment from further damage);譬如说,前几天看BBC的报道,很多专家建议人们减少吃肉,因为肉类产品的生产会消耗大量的农业资源和能源,排放温室气体;这些知识极少人知道

没有经济支持,没有专业性,不知道具体应该怎样去做There really exist a large amount of people who want to do something to this career, however they do not what to do specifically.

即使有些人采取了一些环保的行为,,但因受不到支持和鼓励,没有激情和动力继续下去Because of seldom receiving support and appreciation/encouragement, the one who devoted a great deal to the environmental protection always had no passion and motivation to go on.

很多人觉得自己的努力是微弱的和徒劳的(negligible and futile),不可能明显地改善环境(unlikely to improve the situation significantly)

很多人以环境为代价牟取利益Some shortsighted ones only focus on the short-term profit instead of long-term interest.

措施:加强宣传和教育,让人们意识到加强环保人人有责

指导人们的环保行为,使其有组织并具有科学性

增加相应的投资和鼓励机制

惩罚以环境为代价牟取利益的行为

55.Development in technology causes environmental problems. Some people believe the solution in these problems is everyone accepts a simpler way of life, while others say that technology can solve these problems. Discuss both view and give your own opinion.

(09.02.12)

题目理解:“如今,科技发展引起环境问题。很多人觉得我们的生活方式应该简单点,而其他人相信科学能够解决环境问题。讨论两个观点,给出你自己的看法。”

科技发展和社会发展导致了消费主义(consumerism)的产生。消费主义是指人们经常购买奢侈品或者是多余的商品(luxury or unnecessary goods),一方面是因为他们希望得到消费的快乐(pursuit of happiness brought by consumption),另外一方面也是有社会因素,譬如说展示自己的社会地位(social status)。譬如说很多人喜欢每年都买新的手机、电器,这些就是所谓的消费者生活方式(consumer lifestyle)或者消费文化(consumer culture)。

我们喜欢消费,无形之中会对环境产生伤害。商品的生产需要耗费资源(consume/ extra resources),而最终会产生垃圾(create garbage)。譬如说生产一台手机需要使用各种金属和非金属材料(metallic and non-metallic materials),需要使用水、电和汽油,最后会产生一些很难分解的垃圾(non-biodegradable materials). 如果生活比较简朴(live a simpler life),产生的垃圾自然少一点。

科技是否可以解决环境问题?从一些发达国家的经验来看,确实可以。现在很多产品都使用一些容易降解的材料(bio-degradable materials),很多工厂也变得非常节能(fuel efficient)。在可预见的未来,科技的发展会减少我们生活对环境产生的伤害。我们需要注意的是,科技的发展虽然会减少环境压力,但是却不是一个根本性的方法。

在讨论好这两个观点后,我们不难发现,在解决环境问题上,我们既要控制消费文化,也要提高环保科技(environmentally friendly technology)。

通过接受简单的生活方式来解决环境问题:

在交通上,我们减少使用一些现代的交通工具,可以减少空气污染在通讯工具上,减少使用手机cell/mobile phone,可以减少辐射radiation污染

减少使用塑料plastic、化工产品industrial products可以减少白色污染white pollution、水污染等

通过科技来解决环境问题:

我们可以使用清洁能源clean/alternative energy,改善交通工具,减少对于空气的污染

可以利用生物技术bio-technology,来治理水污染和土壤污染

可以使用高科技环保材料hi-tech environmental friendly materials来代替传统材料,例如使用可降解塑料袋degradable plastic bags 56.Some think that these environmental problems are too big for individuals to be solved, while others think that individuals cannot

solve these environmental problems unless they make some action. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (09.02.21)

环保对于个人来说很难解决:

个人的力量是有限的,不论是从时间、经济还是技术上都是不足的很多环境问题需要人们通力合作甚至是全球合作,例如海洋污染和水污染

很多人认为环保问题并非自己的责任,不会采取什么行动

人们采取行为可以解决环保问题:

大多数的环境问题是由公众制造的,所以每个人都采取措施能够从源头上解决这一问题 a fundamental solution, get to the root of something

政府或者环保组织的行为是宏观的macroscopic readjustment and control,而人们的环保行为是微观的microscopic behavior,可以弥补前者的漏洞to plug/close the loopholes

57.Many countries use fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) as the main source of energy. However, in some countries the uses of the alternative sources of energy (wind energy and solar energy) are encouraged. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this development? (09.5.30)

支持使用可替代资源:

减少环境污染;可更新资源(renewable energy sources)很少排放温室气体,开采过程中也极少对环境产生伤害;

创造新的就业机会和产生新的产业,技术可以出售给其他国家;解决能源危机,地球的化石燃料储备有限(limited reserve for fossil fuels);

长远来说in the long term / in the long run,可以降低能源价格

发展可替代资源的困难有以下一些:

对现有的一些产业产生威胁,譬如说石油开采业(oil drilling);

很多国家目前没有资金开发可替代资源,即便开发了,成本非常高消费不起;发达国家,譬如说德国,一直都用补贴(subsidies)来帮助这些新能源产业发展。

并不是多有地区和国家都有条件利用可再生资源

目前的技术还不够完善,不能达到fossil fuels的所有优点

58.An increase in production of consumer goods results in damage to the natural environment. What are the causes and possible solutions? (09.10.10)

59. The environment problem facing today's world are so great that there is little ordinary people can do to improve the situation.

并不是每个人都会合理合法地利用自己的权利,如果每个人都有自由做自己想做的事情,势必会侵犯别人的权利If each individual had the freedom to do whatever they want, others’ rights will be invaded.

一个法治的社会是建立在合理使用权利,履行义务的基础上的 a legal society is based on every individual use their rights properly and perform their duty/obligation strictly.

社会应该遵循规则和法律(enforce rules and require people to observe them):法律通过惩罚(impose sanctions/punishment such as imprisonment监禁, compensation赔偿)来约束人的行为(control/regulate or shape citizens’ behavior),譬如说,不让人们在公众地方抽烟,不让人们使用毒品(forbid people to use illegal drugs),防止诈骗(prevent any fraudulent activity);因为人们总是有很多欲望和动力(desires and motivations)去做一些伤害自己或者别人的事情。法律也会制止任何抢劫、偷盗、身体侵犯、谋杀等行为(robbery, theft, physical assault and murder),保护合法公民的权益(protect the rights of law-abiding citizens),这样可以防止社会的不稳定(prevent social unrest)。

一些法律,譬如说税法,环境保护,有利于社会的长足发展(sustainable development)和稳定。

游客只是满足于拍照,买纪念品,明信片,只是在乎有没有去过某个地方,而不在乎有没有真正了解当地文化;

Culture and communication barriers

Irritate the local people

Maybe the locals are not so friendly to the visitors

让游客带有偏见的观点:

宣传景点(place of interest)的材料,譬如说小册(pamphlets),电视的宣传(TV broadcasts),导游的介绍(information presented by the tour guide),等等,都会让游客对景点产生一个期待,或者观念;很多时候,这些宣传材料刻意地去剪裁(edited deliberately),来符合观众的偏见(fit people's stereotype);

景点的当地政府让本土人(local people or indigenous people)展示他们的传统和习俗, 来突出其某些特点(highlight some unique qualities);游客往往忽视了当地人文化的改变和进步。

74.Nowadays, more people choose to travel around the world. However visitors find that places they visit are becoming increasingly similar to those in their hometowns. Discuss some possible causes of this similarity. To what extent do you think the advantages of this trend outweigh its disadvantages? (09.08.29) 75.Individuals and countries fail to help every person who needs help in the world, so we should only be concerned about our own communities and countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (09.11.21)

Today, it is not unusual that countries join relief efforts in another country, mostly one plagued by natural disasters. At times, international aid expands to cover a broad range of areas, such as infrastructure and public service of recipient countries. Critics, however, question these practices by arguing that international aid, despite the tremendous effort made by donor countries, is not likely to benefit every individual in the world. In my opinion, this argument is ill conceived. International aid is very often delivered to boost the development of a country in the long run, so whether it yields immediate benefits for every citizen is not a matter of importance. A classic example to illustrate this is the money spent by some international organizations on a country's infrastructure, namely, communications, transport and power supplies. While this kind of investment is not aimed at individual citizens, it is the precondition for a country's long-term prosperity.

Besides, the world is increasingly interconnected, so the plight of one country can evolve and eventually affect the rest of the world. In simple terms, any attempt to contain a problem that spreads in one country is meanwhile an effective self-rescue technique. In 2008, IMF injected enormous liquidity in some Eastern European countries in an effort to prevent their central banks from collapsing. The stability of these countries helped avoid further turmoil of the world's financial industry and led to the world's a faster-than-expected recovery from the economic crisis. In this globalised world, there is no ground for working in isolation and keeping blind to other countries' issues. Helping other countries in troubled times also reveals human kindness. Humans have traditions of helping those vulnerable to natural disasters, epidemics and poverty. This is a universally treasured value. Countries that promise to support less developed members of the global community are sometimes motivated by this moral principle. They would not discontinue this cause simply because there is a long queue for aid while aid is scarce.

Beyond any doubt, any person who has these facts in mind would agree that countries should help each other, not only because this is essential to the advance of the world's well-being but also because it is an expression of humans' philanthropic disposition.

八、经济(共4题,占4.7%)

国际贸易的好处:

形成双赢的局面,促进全球化的进程和经济发展form a win-win situation, promote the process of globalization and economy development

77.Economic progress is one way to measure the success of one country, while some people think there are other factors. What other factors should be considered? Within these factors, do you think anyone is more important than the others? (08.10.25)

居住条件(Living conditions):一些国家经济发展很快,却解决不了城市拥挤(overcrowding)的问题;也有国家经济发展,但是却忽视了环境污染(environmental pollution),譬如说,美国目前的GDP世界第一,但是它却是世界温室气体排放最多的国家。其他的因素有卫生条件(sanitation),基础设施(public facilities)等

人民的生活方式(lifestyles):譬如说日本,虽然经济很好,但是人们压力过大(stressed),缺乏娱乐时间(lack of leisure time);有一些国家经济发展加快的同时,酗酒,吸毒等问题却变得严重(alcoholism and drug use have become epidemics);美国经济强劲,但是国民却有很多的健康问题,譬如说肥胖、心脏病等

人们的生活质量:很多国家的通货膨胀过高(high consumer prices),人民的购买力很低;医疗、教育和住房问题(housing difficulties/problems)没有得到解决;有的国家虽然经济发展很快,但是犯罪率也很高(a high crime rate)

社会文化(cultures)和社会行为(social norms):经济发展可能会让人们忘记一些传统的美德,譬如说诚实和无私(honesty and

altruism);社区的传统(communal traditions)也慢慢消失;人们没有养成很多社会的优良习惯,譬如说相互尊重

这些因素之所以重要,是因为关系到个人的生活满足和幸福(wellbeing of individual citizens),也体现了经济收入是否用于提高人们生活水准(what is created in economic growth can be translated into a higher living standard)

78.As global trade increases, many goods, even some daily goods, are exported to another country, which includes long-distance transport during shipping. Do you think its benefits outweigh its drawbacks? (08.12.04)

公路属于公共设施,国家有责任为公共事业投资roads are public facilities, which deserve the investment by government

国家比起个人和组织,更加有力量投资公共事业compare with corporations and individuals, countries are more powerful invest on public career.

Government could organize 公路系统只能由国家统一支配the road systems uniformly.

使用者支付的原因:

只有使用者为道路建设买单,对于非使用者才是公平的。Only the users pay bill for the roads construction, it would be fair for the non-users.

使用者为道路建设买单可以让他们更加珍惜道路。Users paying for the roads construction fees can make them cherish the roads more.

使用者为道路建设买单,会让政府有更多的精力去投资其他事业,例如医疗和教育。If users pay bill for the roads construction, the government can spare more time on other aspects, such as medical care and education.

81.In some countries, governments are encouraging industries and businesses to move out of large cities and into regional areas.

好处:

经济:有助于落后地区的发展(the development of some disadvantaged or underdeveloped regions),提高那里的生活水平(improve the standard of living)

社会:缓解大城市的交通堵塞(ease traffic congestion),减轻空气污染(reduce air pollution),减轻对各种设施的压力(relieve the pressure on facilities)

个人:居住条件更好(better living conditions)

坏处:

经济:有一些地区比较偏远(remote),商业迁到这些地区会增加交通运输的费用(cost of transportation),更何况很多地区没有相应的基础设施去支持经济发展,譬如说网络(information networks);社会:影响某些地区本身的文化和生活方式(culture and lifestyle)人口流动甚至会导致犯罪率上升(population mobility leads to a higher crime rate)

可能会破坏原有的生态环境may endanger original environment

迁移会造成那个巨大的浪费in the course of transfer great wastes are bond to be caused

雅思大作文写作步骤整理

雅思大作文写作步骤整理 如何合理安排写作时间和写作步骤,今天给大家带来了雅思大作文写作步骤整理,希望能够帮助到大家,下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。 雅思大作文写作步骤整理 写作部分两篇*的字数要求是不一样的。大作文必须完成250字以上写作任务,而小作文150字以上。根据这一指令,从机械地写字速度来看,考生较为合理的时间分配为大作文40分钟,小作文20分钟。另外,大作文占写作总值的60%,小作文为40%,从这分值的权重来看,时间上2:1的分配也是相当合理的。 所以,要想成功完成大作文任务一定要把时间控制在40分钟左右,前后不超出5分钟。 那么如何充分利用这40分钟,完成一篇基本令人满意的*呢? ◆步骤一:审题(3 分钟) 审题是有效完成任务的第一步,也是最关键的一步。从评分标准看,审题的正确与否与"Task Response"有着直接的联系。而在当前模板泛滥,*千篇一律的大环境下,有效审题是突破六分

的一条准绳。不少考生在审题时,要么蜻蜓点水、草草一读,要么只关注题目中词的同义转换。如此读题,都有可能对之后的*撰写方向造成偏差。而有效的读题方法应为: →通读题目,了解大意。 →细读题目,分析句子间的逻辑关系。 →再读题目,辨别关键词,区分主题词和限定词,推测考官的出题意图。 由于大部分考生只作到了读题的第一步,所以出现离题或部分离题的可能性很大。现以20XX年11月15日的考题为例:There are more workers to work from home and more students to study from home. This is because the computer technology is more and more easily accessible and cheaper. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?(题目为考生回忆,与原题可能有少许出入) →通读题目,了解大意。 当前有越来越多的工人在家里工作,有越来越多的学生在家里学习。这是因为电脑技术越来越容易获得,也越来越便宜了。你认为这是个正面的还是负面的发展趋势?

直接名词(或相当于名词的词)。由于这些都是基本常识,这里不再赘述。 为了使连接词多样化,建议考生运用下面的一些短语(或句式)连接论点和论据:…is a case in point; …serve as a typical example;…can be taken as an example; one example is that… another one is that等。 如:Working part time when you are studying in university is beneficial to your life. I myself is a case in point(or ‘my experiences serve as a typical example’). Through those experiences, I have learned to be independent and responsible. 二、内化连接 实际上,大家看原汁原味的文英文文章会发现有些信息的连接不用外显式,而是通过某些特定的词或者特定的方式给读者以清晰的层次感,从而使文章信息传递更通畅。 下面我们来看一下哪些例证可以省去连接词,实现内化连接。

Especially computer has become more and more important in educational field, therefore dozens of people considered teachers could be replaced computers that will go with the current of the times.

Secondly, computer doesn’t have logistic ideation. Computer only can defend on that designer inputted computer’s programs to judge a question’s right or wrong.

雅思大作文开篇如何让人眼前一亮

雅思大作文开篇如何让人眼前一亮 雅思写作除了词汇量要达到以外,还有很多提分点的哦。出guo 为雅思栏目大家带来雅思大作文开篇如何让人眼前一亮,希望对大家备考雅思有所帮助! 正所谓好的开始是成功的一半,雅思大作文的写作也一次次验证了这个道理。很多同学往往不重视雅思大作文开头段的写作,只是简单套用一些现成的模板,殊不知这样已经给考官留下“背诵模板”的印象,这样一来,不仅给后面的主体段带来了巨大压力,而且人的第一印象往往是很难改变的。大作文开头段往往要包含如下几个关键内容,即,介绍背景,引出有争议的话题,阐述对立观点和陈述作者自己的观点。无论使用还是不使用模板,这几个关键信息是一定要包含在开头段落当中的,不然云里雾里,只能是适得其反。 根据这些信息,备战过的考生们一定都熟悉下面这一套开头写作流程,首先It is quite mon these days...介绍背景,或者用The issue of ... is a plex and sensitive one.这样的句型来引出有争议话题,然后千篇一律地分别介绍对立双方观点,如Some individuals believe that..., while others hold the view that...最终用Personally, I agree with...至此,内容上完美无

瑕,但恐怕考官心中已经大大打下“模板”两个字的烙印,这无疑对于想取得6分及以上的同学最不利的事情。 例如,一道雅思写作高频题目,讨论到底大学应该教授实用性课程(如计算机和商科课程)还是传统课程(如历史和地理)。我们依然按照开头段应该包含的关键信息开始写作,但是却可以这样轻松突破:These day there is a growing tendency for college students to have difficulties in finding jobs when they graduate.(介绍背景)A large number of people hold the opinion that lack of practical knowledge, among other things, contributes to this situation. In light of this, they contend that college teachers should lay more stress on practical courses than on traditional ones. (引出有争议的话题,并阐述大多数人的观点)For my part, I am in favour of their viewpoint.(作者观点)这一段写得非常灵巧,第一句结合题目背景,介绍现如今有一种趋势,即大学毕业生很难找到工作,紧接着作者陈述有许多人认为这是由于学生缺少实用性的知识,并因此提出大学应该更多关注于教授实用性的知识,这一句将有争议话题的其中一方观点用因果链条清晰阐述。最后一句表达作者自己的立场,就是支持前面大多数人的想法。总的来看,这一段只提及了对立双方的其中一方观点,然后表达自己支持这一方观点。这就是一种对于开头段模板的超越,简单可行,只对其中一方观点清晰论

To what extent do you agree or disagree? 大学是否应该在教授知识的同时进行行为习惯的教育? 范文: It is often argued that teachers should be accountable for their student’s good and bad conducts as they are responsible for teaching them the morality of their children. Others, on the other hand, opi ne that educators’ role should be limited to imparting academic (educational) curriculum among students. This essay will discuss both points of view and argue that instructors can share the

responsibility for inculcating socially acceptable manners in students along with academic course training, followed by a reasoned conclusion. 人们常说,教师应该对学生的好与坏行为负责,因为他们有责任教导他们的孩子的道德。另一方面,另一些人则认为教育者的角色应该局限于向学生传授学术(教育)课程。这篇*将讨论这两种观点,并认为教师可以分担责任,在进行学术课程培训的同时,向学生灌输社会可接受的礼仪,然后得出一个合理的结论。 Many support the teacher’s role in students’ behaviour modification. Firstly they think that students spend much more time with their educators in school than with their parents. So it is easy for the trainers to develop a good interpersonal relationship with students and, thereby, can have a great influence on their trainees. In addition, they can give moral lessons through moral classes. Moreover, most of the students find their teachers as their role model. So the students accept the instructions of their professors’ than anyone else. 许多人支持教师在学生行为矫正中的作用。首先,他们认为学生在学校花更多的时间和老师在一起,而不是和父母在一起。因此,培训师很容易与学生建立良好的人际关系,从而对他们的学员产生很大的影响。此外,他们可以通过道德课进行道德教育。
