6、d table below give information about water use worldwide and water consumption in two different countries. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 The line chart shows water consumption by sector from 19002
7、000. The table shows the water consumed in Brazil and D.R. Congo in 2000. Water used for agriculture rose slowly from 500km 3 in 1900 to 1000km 3 around 1945. Thereafter, use rose more rapidly, reaching about 3000km 3 in 2000. Industry used less than 100km 3 of water in 1900 and this amount rose slo
8、wly to about 100km 3 in 1950. Thereafter, it rose more quickly to 500km 3 in 1980 and then even faster to reach slightly over 1000km 3 in 2000. Domestic water use was less than 100km 3 until the late 1970s. Thereafter use increased faster, reaching about 400km 3 in 2000. The chart shows Brazil“s pop
9、ulation (176 million) was far higher than D.R. Congo“s (5.2 million). The amount of irrigated land in Brazil (26,500km 2 ) was also far more than that in D.R. Congo (100km 2 ). Also, water consumption per person in Brazil (359m 3 ) was higher than that in D.R. Congo (8m 3 ). To summarise, the amount
10、 of water used for agriculture was always higher than for industrial use and the amount of water used domestically was always the least. Water consumption per person in Brazil is higher than that in D.R. Congo, apparently because more land is irrigated.2.Today, the high sales of popular consumer goo
11、ds reflect the power of advertising and not the real needs of the society in which they are sold. To what extent do you agree or disagree? （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 1同意题目的说法 I tend to agree that high sales of consumer goods reflect the power of advertising rather than the real needs of society and w
12、ill outline my reasons below. Advertising clearly often encourages people to buy more than they need and more often than they need to. In wealthier countries, many families have two or more televisions or even computers. People in wealthier countries also have many clothes, some of which they hardly
13、 ever wear. At the same time, even these wealthier countries have social problems such as poverty and crime. Many communities, again even in the wealthiest countries, suffer from a lack of investment in education and health care. It seems that people have somehow been persuaded to purchase a wide va
14、riety of consumer goods whilst neglecting to spend their money on areas where it could make a substantial qualitative difference to people“s lives. Advertising tends to tell people that they need a certain product because of benefits such as making the purchaser look fashionable, apparently performi
15、ng a task slightly faster or better, or even simply because it is good to have the things that everyone else has. These reasons might have limited benefits for the individual, such as enhanced status, but rarely, if ever, benefit society as a whole. This is obviously because the aim of most producer
16、s is to make ever greater sales, not to function as an organisation working for the public well-being. To conclude, advertising generally aims to encourage the purchase of goods regardless of their value to societies in general. This has resulted in a situation where many people spend their money on
17、 things that they don“t really need, whilst not spending enough on things that they do need. 参考范文 2不同意题目的说法 Many people nowadays suggest that high sales of consumer goods, particularly in more developed societies, is the result of the power of advertising rather than any real need for these products
18、. Generally speaking, I disagree with this notion and will outline my reasons in this essay. At first sight, it might appear that people do not need the latest models of mobile phones or plasma screen TVs. In societies where buying these goods has become commonplace, almost all people already have t
19、heir basic needs, such as food, clothing, health care and shelter taken care of. At the same time, they have greater disposable incomes. This means that the needs of such societies have changed from the provision of basic needs to the provision of luxury goods. There is certainly more advertising in
20、 societies where more is consumed. These societies, as mentioned above, have more people with greater disposable incomes, so producers are bound to concentrate their marketing efforts on such societies rather than those where people have smaller amounts of money to spend on consumer goods. The real
21、needs of societies where people have lower incomes (for example, in many African countries) are clearly still basic things like food, drinking water, clothing and health care. In those societies, advertisers concentrate on those products rather than on selling the latest consumer electronics. To con
22、clude, I believe that high sales of consumer goods (and the great number of advertisements) reflect high disposable incomes rather than the power of advertising. However, this is not to deny that advertising influences which consumer products people decide to buy.3.The table below gives information
23、about changes in modes of travel in England between 1985 and 2000. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Average distance in miles travelled per person per year, by mode of travel 1985 2000 Walking 255 237 Bicycle 51 41 Car 3,199
24、 4,806 Local bus 429 274 Long distance bus 54 124 Train 289 366 Taxi 13 42 Other 450 585 All modes 4,740 6,475 （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 The table indicates the number of miles travelled by the average English person in 1985 and 2000, using various means of transport. The number of miles walked, cyc
25、led and travelled by local bus all decreased. Of these, the number of miles travelled by local bus decreased the most, from 429 miles in 1985 to 274 miles in 2000. The number of miles travelled by car, long distance bus, train and taxi all increased. The number of miles driven by car was 3,199 in 19
26、85 and rose by 50% to 4,806 in 2000. The number of miles travelled by long distance bus more than doubled from 54 miles (1985) to 124 miles (2000). The number of miles driven by taxi trebled from 13 miles (1985) to 42 miles (2000). The use of other, unspecified, forms of transport also increased. Ov
27、erall, the number of miles travelled by the average English person rose from 4,740 miles in 1985 to 6,475 miles in 2000, with the increased use of cars accounting for almost all of that increase.4.Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important profess
28、ions. Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 1这是不公平的 In my opinion, it is not fair that successful sports stars can earn more than people in other professions. In this essay, I would lik
29、e to look at why some people believe that this is acceptable and why others, including myself, do not. Some people think that sports stars should be allowed to earn as much money as they can. This is the approach taken in many professions, such as law, for example. Some lawyers, particularly the bet
30、ter ones, earn more money than other lawyers. If they are more successful in acting for their clients, or are in high demand for any other reason, there should be no concern about this since it is a demonstration of the market forces of supply and demand at work. However, with sports stars, the situ
31、ation is not the same. In my opinion, the reason is that in other professions most of the skills needed to be above average can be developed through study or experience. These should be encouraged. Sports stars may achieve a lot, but their achievements are often a result of natural attributes rather
32、 than those they have developed through hard work. For example, most top basketball players earn a lot of money simply because they are lucky enough to be born tall rather than because they are well educated. I do not believe that this luck should be valued by society more than education and experie
33、nce. In conclusion, sports stars should have their earnings capped. This will send the message to people, particularly young people, that making a fortune is not simply a matter of luck, but should be achieved over a longer period of time after getting a good education and gaining a wealth of experi
34、ence in a field. 参考范文 2这是公平的 Whilst many people believe that top sports stars are often overpaid is unfair, I do not. In this essay, I will give my reasons for believing that they earn what they deserve and look at why some disagree. Successful sports stars, such as Michael Jordan and David Beckham,
35、 earn much more money than most of us can ever hope to earn. This may, at first sight, appear unfair. After all, these top sports stars are not fundamentally better people than the rest of us. However, they have one thing in common that we ordinary people do not share with themthey are able to grab
36、the attention of millions of people with their skills. These skills have taken years of training to develop, with hours of hard practise almost every day. They are skills that people are prepared to pay a lot of money to seeconsider, for example, the cost of a ticket to see the World Cup Final live.
37、 Consequently, they deserve the money they make. Other people disagree and think that successful sports stars make more than is fair. They point out that a successful sports star might have a short career at the top, but that they can find other work, for example, as coaches, after their time at the
38、 top has ended. They also point out that, since top sports stars are idolised by young people, they suggest that money is the most important thing in life, which is something that many people do not wish to encourage in young people. Whilst I can see certain disadvantages in having successful sports
39、 professionals earning vast amounts of money, I think that they deserve what they earn as a result of their skills.5.The diagrams below show the life cycle of the silkworm and the stages in the production of silk cloth. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make
40、 comparisons where relevant. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 The first diagram indicates the life cycle of silkworms whilst the second illustrates how silk is produced. From the first diagram, we can see that silkworm moths lay eggs on mulberry leaves. These eggs take about ten days to hatch into silkworm
41、 larvae and thereafter eat mulberry leaves. After four to six weeks, the silkworm larvae create cocoons of silk thread. This process takes between three and eight days to complete. The larvae then remain inside the cocoons for sixteen days before emerging as fully developed moths. The second diagram
42、 shows us that the first process in making silk cloth is to select the cocoons and boil them in water. Afterwards, the cocoons are taken out of the water and the silk thread is unwound, each cocoon producing 300 to 900 metres of thread. These threads are twisted together and woven together into silk cloth. The threads or the cloth can be dyed various colours as required.
