5、s which are widely separated from each other. Do you think the advantages of this policy outweigh the disadvantages for city residents?（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： In this essay, I will look at whether situating schools, homes, shops and offices far away from each other in cities is advantageous or not. On
6、e reason that city planners locate these places away from each other is to create zones which are residential, for business and for industry. To a certain extent, I think this is a good idea. For example, most people would prefer not to live near an industrial area. Also, having shops located in a p
7、articular area (e.g. the centre of a town) has the advantage of allowing people to go to several of them at one time. However, there may be situations where this is not such a good idea. For example, most people would probably like to be relatively near to schoolsespecially primary schoolsso that th
8、eir children do not face long journeys. In addition, having shops near ones home is very useful if you suddenly need an item such as bread or milk. Another reason for locating these places far away from each other is so that particular areas (e.g. town centres) do not become overcrowded and have tra
9、ffic jams during rush hours. Solving this problem is not as easy as positioning shops, offices and homes far from each other. People often do not like to travel far to work. Moreover, if big employers are located near to each other, this is likely to result in traffic jams as people go to and from w
10、ork. Overall, I think that such a policys disadvantages outweigh the advantages. If people have most of the facilities they need nearby, it is likely to make an area more desirable to live in and reduce the amount of time people spend travelling.)解析：3.People receive plenty of information from news r
11、eports presented by journalists. However, some people claim that we cannot believe the news that is presented to us. What is your opinion on the issue? What qualities do you think journalists should have?（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： We are living in the age of information where people get the information t
12、hey want by various means, such as radio, TV and of course the Internet. Some people claim that it is necessary to consider the source of the information first when deciding whether to believe the news, because certain news organisations today have reputations for not presenting the news objectively
13、, while some others are under the control of the government or certain organisations that seek to manipulate the media. Some others think that a more important but difficult thing that recipients of information nowadays need to do is to separate facts from opinions, which means the necessity to be c
14、ritical readers or audiences. This is simply because that in an age where various technologies and techniques are available to almost every individual, some news providers might tailor facts with cameras or some computer software to cater for the appetite of more viewers so as to maximise profits, w
15、hich will mislead the publics opinion and mood. Journalists, as the main providers of news and information, should be more reasonably objective, disciplined and determined for the core value of their profession and the trust of the general public. They are expected to make more news reports to refle
16、ct happenings from all walks of life with as many perspectives as possible so as to remind people of what is going on with their lives and of course to push and monitor governments to handle the newly found problems properly and shortly. To sum up, generally, I think people should be more careful an
17、d critical of the news presented by the media, since a large amount of information we receive today is not objective and impartial enough, and journalists should try harder to live up to the hope of the public.)解析：4.Advertising encourages consumers to buy in quantity rather than promoting quality. T
18、o what extent do you agree or disagree?（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： Today, many people are becoming convinced that advertising is more concerned with encouraging bulk purchases than with encouraging the production of quality goods through competition. Advertising can be viewed from two standpoints. One is
19、that it is primarily concerned with getting people to purchase items that they would not otherwise buy. The other is that it continues to inform consumers, thereby promoting competition between producers and service providers. I believe that the truth lies somewhere between the two. Many kinds of ad
20、vertising nowadays clearly encourage large purchases, in particular through offering consumers such deals as “two for the price of one“, offering large containers at a lower cost, or through offering substantial discounts for purchasing several of the same products at once. Such items could include
21、everyday household goods, washing powder for example, or items that are regularly consumed more than one at a time, such as cans of drinks. In fact, many enterprises successfully specialise in supplying goods in bulk to consumers. The idea is that people will consume more quickly if they have many o
22、f the items at home rather than having to go out and buy the items individually every time they need it. On the other hand, some products are naturally not available for bulk purchase. This is especially true of items that are particularly expensive or items that a person is unlikely to change for n
23、ew ones in a relatively short period of time, for example cars and houses. Advertisements for such products are more likely to stress the quality of the product than its price, since most people will not simply go for the cheapest one, but for one that meets their expectations in other ways. To conc
24、lude, I believe that advertisers should take the market for their products into consideration when advertising and decide accordingly whether they wish to focus on selling in bulk or on competing on the basis of the quality of their products.)解析：5.It is generally acknowledged that families now are n
25、ot as close as they used to be. What are some possible reasons for this and what can be done to reverse the trend?（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： With the ever-increasing pace of modern life, the bonds within families have suffered dramatically in recent decades. There are many ways in which this could have o
26、ccured, and it is high time that people should be aware of it and actually do something to minimise the side effects on their own families. The primary factor leading to the significant reduction of family closeness, I believe, is the intrusion of technology into family life. In the past, there were
27、 much fewer technological diversions in daily lives. For example, people did not have computers to play with or cell phones to chat on; instead they communicated with each other in person, and the more they communicated, the closer they might have become. Conversely, parents and children nowadays ar
28、e constantly using different kinds of communication tools, with which they have sacrificed their limited time at home to work on building up relationships with people they barely meet in real life on social networking websites. Although they do spend some time together, they may just rush through th
29、ings so that they can get back to their technological products. Obviously, this will reduce a large amount of quality family time. Additionally, more and more working parents tend to spend the majority of their time in the office or even work overtime at home, as they want to ensure an advantageous
30、position in the face of stiff competition. Consequently, they have little time to be with their children, which may easily result in an increasing sense of alienation in the family. A similar case happens to children who are often sent to boarding schools and return home once a week, or even a month
31、 due to many working parents not having enough time to look after their children after school. To solve this problem, I think, a crucial factor is to ensure families spend sufficient time together and enhance communication between their members. For instance, parents should set a good example by cut
32、ting down the time spent on technological devices at home, such as placing restrictions on internet usage and finding more chances to regularly talk to their children. A very good way for family members to have more quality time together is to find or create an activity or a game that all members wi
33、ll take part in and do that once every week as a family tradition, or parents and children could also choose a special day every month as their family day, so they could secure a moment to visit museums or have a picnic somewhere in the park. More importantly, parents should always remember that the
34、y are working for a better life with their families, not living to work, and as for children, some more traditional values about family closeness should be imparted to them whether at home or school so as to help them shape a correct attitude towards family. Overall, I believe that great efforts from both parents and children are necessary to reverse the trend.)解析：
