8、20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 I Love Big CitiesI grew up in a small town and now study in a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like to live in a big city, but I was wrong. After two years of living in one, I can“t imagine ever living in a small town ag
9、ain. I love the excitement of big cities. Small towns have a slower pace. In large cities you have to adapt to a variety of situations, like finding a new route to work or trying a new restaurant. I enjoy that challenge very much. Another part of the excitement of city life is the variety of cultura
10、l activities available. There are various kinds of theatres, musicals and dance performances available in big cities. These things are rare in small ones. Of course, security is a concern, and that“s one area where small towns are superior to big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more cautious

There are different views on people“s clothes. The followings are my ideas: Firstly, you shouldn“t put too much emphasis on physical ap
13、pearance. Remember that the most important task for you today is to concentrate on your studies. No matter what you wear, you will really look your best when you come out first in your examinations. Secondly, you should understand that it is a fine virtue to live in frugality. Just as a famous sayin
14、g goes, “Frugality is the mother of virtue.“ Since your family can“t provide you with enough money to buy fashionable clothes, it is all the more necessary for you to try to lighten the financial burden of your family. And you will find the virtue of frugality benefit you a lot in your future life.

16、than 180 words. Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 Food Preparation Methods Improve Our LifeThe twentieth century has brought with it many advances. With those advances, human life has changed dramatically. In some ways
17、life is worse, but mostly it is better. Changes in food preparation methods, for example, have improved our life greatly. The convenience of preparing food today is amazing. Even stoves have gotten too slow for us. Microwave cooking is much easier. We can press a few buttons and a meal is completely
18、 cooked in just a short time. People used to spend hours preparing an oven-cooked meal, and now they can allocate that time to other better things. Plus, there are all kinds of portable, prepackaged foods we can buy. Heat them in the microwave in the office, and lunch at work is quick and easy. Our
19、life pace is fast, but people still like good food. New food preparation technology has given us more choices. Today, we can prepare food that is more convenient and of greater variety than ever before.4.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the following qu

21、 previous work （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 Quality Is the Most ImportantTraining someone to do a job is an important task. It requires a good education, work experience, and skilled job performance. Of these three requirements, I believe it is most important that a potential job trainer be judged by the
22、 quality of his or her previous work. First, a person may be well educated, but not able to do the job proficiently. For example, a doctor may know how to treat children“s diseases, but not be able to train medical students to perform surgeries. Second, a person may have a lot of work experience, bu
23、t not be able to do the job well. A typist may have typed for ten years, but may not type at a speed of over 30 words a minute. A person who does a job well is the one you want to receive training from. I think people all want to learn to fly a plane from a pilot who has faced a lot of mechanical pr
24、oblems in flight but never had an accident.

26、 and stage: United States, 2012 （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 Looking up Health Information on the InternetAs we can see from the chart above, in the United States in 2012, a little less than a half of men looked up health information on the Internet, while more than half of the women did the same, especi
27、ally women aged between 25 and 34. However, a majority of adults over 65 would not like to do so. Two conclusions can be drawn from the survey. One is that adults below 65 years old are more concerned with their health than aged adults. It“s not difficult to speculate the reason: middle aged adults
28、have to stay healthy to support the family, so they care very much about their own health condition. The other conclusion is that women care more about health than men do. The reason might be something like this: women are more sensitive and more vulnerable to diseases. In my opinion, it“s necessary for adults to care about their health condition, but looking up information on the Internet is not a smart choice. It“s better to go to see the doctor when you feel uncomfortable.
