8、who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking“ reminds us of the importance of thinking while reading. Everyone should form the good habit of thinking while reading. There is no better illustration than the experience of my own as a student. When my math tea
9、cher teaches us a problem-solving strategy, I may still find it difficult to get a similar problem solved if I just apply this strategy without thinking about its principle. Besides, Chinese ancient philosopher and educationist Mencius once declared: It is better not to believe in books at all, rath
10、er than to believe in them implicitly. His statement points to the necessity of independent thinking while reading. Only in this way can you fully enjoy the benefit of reading books. To sum up, if you want to master the essence of what you read, just stop for a while and think it over.2.For this par

12、ords. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 When it comes to abandoning outdated ideas, there is a saying which goes, “The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones.“ I think it is fairly accurate. As far as I am concerned, discarding an old-fashioned idea takes much more
13、time and energy than adopting a new one. Giving up the old idea means dealing with not only the idea itself, but also all the habits associated with the idea. This can be seen in the development process of both individuals and society. Almost all the reforms that later proved to be beneficial to man
14、kind have been achieved through cruel political struggle, heated debate or even wars. On the other hand, developing a new idea might be relatively much easier. What you have to do is to accept it gradually. To conclude, when faced with difficulties in abandoning old ideas and developing new ones, we

16、hould write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 In my opinion, “To choose time is to save time.“ means that if we want to save time, we need to arrange time effectively. As our life is getting busier, a growing number of people have realized the importance of tim
17、e management. Here is an example. As we all know, college students today are very busy. Apart from their heavy academic pressure, they have to handle many other issues, such as joining various school societies, obtaining driver“s license, and even taking etiquette lessons so as to increase their opp
18、ortunity of landing a decent job upon graduation. Without reasonable time arrangement, they probably can“t pay attention to one thing without neglecting the other, which unfortunately is a very common phenomenon on campus. However, arranging time in a perfect order will bring better outcomes and sav
19、e more time. All in all, I strongly agree with the idea that to choose time is to save time. I suggest that everyone should learn how to arrange time effectively.4.For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on being patient to do small things by commenting on the remark: “Only those
20、 who have the patience to do simple things perfectly ever acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.“ You can give examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 The opinions about patience vary from person to person
21、. Some hold that it is the stepping-stone that leads to a successful future. Others just pay little attention to it. From my perspective, I am in favor of the former point of view. As a Chinese saying goes, “How can you sweep the world if you cannot even sweep a room?“ It shows us that one should fi
22、nish the necessary small things with patience before accomplishing big things. The wisdom of this saying has been appreciated by many people for thousands of years. There is such an example around us. At school, students who get higher scores may not be the ones with the highest intelligence quotien
23、t, but the ones with remarkable patience and perseverance. Life is like a marathon as no one knows who the winner will be until the last second. To sum up, patience is indispensable to long-term success. Without the patience to complete basic things, success will be a castle in the air.5.For this pa

Some hold that smartphones make our daily life more enjoyable while others insist that these electronic gadgets bring us a stupid lifestyle. Obviously, our lifest
26、yle have totally changed with smartphones coming into our life. Firstly, we can surf the Internet and get the latest news at any time. Secondly, many smartphones are equipped with large screens to broadcast videos and display pictures, which is irresistible to many people. However, excessive depende
27、nce on smartphones is detrimental to people, too. The apps in smartphones can cope with almost all the daily affairs for us. Consequently, sometimes we feel that without smartphones, we can do nothing. Personally speaking, I think the benefits of smartphones outweigh the drawbacks, and it“s the trend of historical development. We should take full advantage of them while avoiding being controlled by them.
