7、e routine life in the former position really sucked so I decided to try something new to refresh myself. Still, another crucial factor leading to my quick decision is that my parents moved to Beijing last month, where it is not as frustratingly sticky in summer as in Nanjing. My new responsibility i
8、s to report local cultural news in English for the renowned China Daily, for which I am not required to work on a 9-to-5 routine, but rather on a more flexible basis. In other words, I often roam around the city to pick up some fresh stories instead of fixing my eyes on the screen in the office all
9、day long. It is so fantastic! By the way, I“ve got another piece of big news, that is, my baby girl was born last Sunday. Next time we meet each other, you can expect a lovely niece!

10、at there are more advantages to living in an apartment. Are there more advantages than disadvantages of living in a house compared with living in an apartment? （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 1住房子更好 Nowadays, more than 80% of residents choose to live in various apartments instead of houses in most big cit
11、ies across China. In spite of this, I tend to believe that living in a house brings far more advantages. This is partly because a house provides more space than an apartment in a high building, by which I mean the ceiling height of a normal house is usually between 3 meters to even 4.5 meters whilst
12、 that of a common apartment is somewhere less than 2.5 meters. Consequently, living in a house would be to a larger extent more comfortable. Furthermore, the main concern is that people who live in an independent house tend to have more privacy since houses have a reasonable distance apart. On the c
13、ontrary, if you live in a block of flats, there may be five or eight neighbors totally strange to you on the same floor, which sometimes means you can even overhear some quarrels from them, and vice versa, thus leading to certain unavoidable inconvenience and annoyance. Some opponents may claim that
14、 house dwellers would have less communication with each other and thus a worse neighborhood, for they are not as physically close as those living in the apartments. I can hardly find myself in agreement with this opinion. It is certainly true that apartment residents are not miles away from each oth
15、er but it is also evident that in China house owners are not thousands meters far away from their neighbors, either. What is more, a shorter distance does not necessarily mean a closer neighbourhood or more quality communication. Overall, I firmly believe space and privacy count more when choosing a
16、 residence and a house serves this purpose more than a flat, in spite of the fact that the costs and expenses to live here are usually higher than the alternative choice. 参考范文 2住公寓更好 Nowadays, there are more than 80% of residents living in various apartments instead of houses in most big cities acro
17、ss the country. Personally, I agree that this is a better choice for most people and I think this shared tendency has its deep foundation which will be analyzed in this essay. First of all, the merits of an apartment lie in its low cost for both individuals and the society. It is generally accepted
18、that an apartment is much less expensive than a house. Take Beijing for example, it costs you about 10,000 yuan/m 2 to buy an apartment around the north 5th ring, but a neighboring house will claim more than three times that price. This is also true for the maintenance fees. As a result, living in a
19、n apartment would massively ease one“s financial burden and still allow for a quality life for ordinary white-collars even if they buy one on installment. Moreover, a high apartment building will definitely accommodate more population than even a terraced house, which is ideally economical for a cro
20、wded community or society concerning the finite land resources. It is imaginable that some people would not like to choose an apartment because there are usually several different families sharing the same floor; they claim that they consequently have less privacy and are worried about their neighbo
21、rhoods. This is true. But as far as I am concerned, the same fact gives justification to choosing a flat, for there are probably more opportunities for the dwellers to communicate with each other and enjoy the benefits of a harmonious community, which otherwise may be hampered by a fairly long dista
22、nce. In conclusion, I firmly believe that living in apartments makes a more reasonable choice for most people, with less financial burden but more proximate neighborhood than a house tends to bring. It is also well advised that governments should encourage real estate companies to develop more quali
23、ty apartment buildings rather than costly properties like grand mansions and villas.3.Last month you had a holiday overseas where you stayed with some friends.

25、sive guide that I“ve enjoyed a most wonderful journey, without which, I should say, it would never have been possible. It“s so kind and considerate of you to send me the photos and they will be my sweet memory for ever. I have to say sorry for not writing to you for this long time. Piles of files we
26、re awaiting me when I returned from abroad so I buried myself in dealing with the delayed tasks and even forgot to write to you! What a leaky memory! Yet I remember well that you had ever mentioned a possible journey to China. October is the best season for trips to many places of interest across th
27、is magic land. So write to tell me about your plan or schedule, and let me know if you have any questions or difficulties. I hope we“ll meet soon! Best wishes! Yours, Rex4.Some people feel that entertainers (e.g. film stars, pop musicians or sports stars) are paid too much money. Do you agree or dis
28、agree? Which other types of job should be highly paid? （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 1不同意 Nowadays, it is not surprising to note many entertainment pop stars are paid an incredibly high amount of money and most of them wear luxuries like LV and drive extravagant cars such as Hammer and Porsche. Some peo
29、ple strongly argue that these pop stars are paid too much. They base their argument on the fact that these so-called celebrities do nothing more than offer some form of recreation, whether it is a pop song with some hackneyed lyrics about romantic love or a motion picture, which seems to have, if an
30、y, a minimal contribution to the social development, especially compared with the technical innovation of a scientist or the medical advances made by those extinguished doctors, or the persisting efforts of some respectful political leaders to reform and improve the life of their people. However, I
31、think those opponents to the high income of entertainers fail to realize that their high payment is also the result of the market mechanism. The famous figures in the showbiz win the attention of thousands of people through their hard-working and some successful campaign strategies. It is by this po
32、pularity or attention received that they are valued and paid, rather than the same way of a scientist or economist or politician. What is more, they also sacrifice much of their privacy due to much exposure under the spotlight. Maybe for these losses and pains they are rewarded a seemingly super sal
33、ary, which therefore would be understandable for most people. Reaching the conclusion that the entertainment celebrities can be justified to be highly paid does not mean other professions should be devalued. Instead, some fundamental but crucial occupations should also be given enough attention. For
34、 example, experts in the food engineering industry and some medical scientists contribute greatly to the food safety and well-being of the humanity, so jobs in such fields should be well paid. 参考范文 2同意 In the recent decades, many successful entertainment pop stars, be it popular singers or musicians
35、 or movie actors, are paid an amazingly high salary; the annual income of some can even hit a 9-to-10 digit number, which is somewhat equivalent to the annual revenue of an medium-sized company. Personally, I tend to believe they are paid too much. This argument results from a sharply contrastive fa
36、ct that some experts contributing a lot in the fundamental sciences such as food engineering, medicine or mathematics are normally paid at most tens of thousands yuan a month, far less than that of a famous entertainer whose role is largely limited to entertaining or amusing his/her audience. This c
37、omparison inevitably leads to the conclusion that the super incomes of some figures in the showbiz are neither reasonable nor justifiable. Yet there are some people firmly holding that a 10-digit income of a pop star can be fully justified in that he or she does not gain everything from nothing. In
38、other words, he/she has paid countless and persistent efforts on his/her way to the ultimate success, which would never be easy, nor imaginable for ordinary people. I would not deny the endeavor made by any successful entertainment celebrities. What I want to point out is some professionals and expe
39、rts in other fields have paid no less efforts but never earned as much money as the popular stars have. To conclude, I firmly agree that some entertainers are paid too huge a salary. It is well advised that some professionals which carry the responsibility of promoting the social development technic
40、ally or politically, including medicine scientists, renewable energy researchers, or dedicated politicians, should be highly paid, because their contributions largely sustain our life today and will guarantee a better sustainable future for the human race.5.The pie chart below shows the main reasons
41、 why agricultural land becomes less productive. The table shows how these causes affected three regions of the world during the 1990s. 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 pie chart and table show h
42、ow land around the world was degraded during the 1990s-the former on a worldwide scale and the latter in three different regions. Worldwide, over-grazing was the biggest cause of land degradation (35%), with deforestation causing 30% and over-cultivation causing slightly less (28%). Other factors ca
43、used 7% of land degradation. The table shows that, during the 1990s, 23% of the land in Europe was degraded, more than in Oceania (13%) and far more than in North America (5%). In Oceania, over-grazing was primarily responsible for land degradation, with deforestation accounting for far less and non
44、e caused through over-cultivation. In North America, over-cultivation was the main reason, with about a third of land degradation being caused by over-grazing and very little being caused by deforestation. In Europe, deforestation was responsible for about 40% of the land degradation, over-cultivation about 30% and over-grazing about 20%. To summarise, land degradation was due to three main factors and these factors differed in proportion in different regions.
