6、o support your answer. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 What does Success Come From, Taking Risks or Careful Planning?The question about what success comes from has been so much debated in our society. Some may think that careful planning contributes to success. Traditionally, young people turn to the succ
7、essful people for guidance because young people believe that they can make excellent achievements through careful planning. Today, this view might be reversed. More and more people are taking a fresh look at it. Based on hardworking, they prefer taking risks rather than imply careful planning. We of
8、ten hear about surprising success stories, like lottery winners, or a small company making it big overnight, however, we have to realize that for each of those examples, there are tens of thousands of similar examples that failed. We should not get caught up in the hype of risky decisions and invest
9、ments, just because one or two people happened to succeed. On the contrary, to achieve the greatest chances for success, much emphasis should be put on educationeveryone should strive to get as much education as possible. When it comes to financial investments, the benefits of long-term investment i
10、n slowly rising mutual funds or blue chip stocks outweigh those of constantly moving your money around or experimenting with risky day trading. Making conservative investments will pay off in the long run, but you have to be patient to reap the benefits of compound interest. In the game of financial
11、 success, slow and steady wins the race. For instance, if you want to open your own restaurant, it is best to first have a degree in hotel or restaurant management, knowledge of marketing and accounting, and to have experience working in other people“s restaurants. In this way, you will be able to m
12、ake the most informed decisions about your own restaurant. If you want to achieve success in life, first you have to invest in yourself with as much education as possible, in fields related to your career. Moreover, any business or financial decisions should be based on knowledge, research and shoul
13、d err on the side of caution. Third, and most importantly, you must be patient because, as they say, Rome wasn“t built in a day.2.Directions: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

14、pport your answer. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 Is Money the Most Important Aspect of a Job?In my opinion salary matters a lot in one“s job. When I get a job, I want to earn a lot of money. If I earn a lot of money, people will know I am successful, smart, and a good candidate for marriage. Sometimes,
15、money stands for success to some extent. If I earn a lot of money, I can wear nice clothes, get a big car, buy my parents a nice apartment, and spend a lot of money on my friends. Everyone will know I am rich and very successful. Earning a lot of money will show people how smart I am. Everyone knows
16、 you can“t be stupid and earn a lot of money. Who will trust someone stupid to do a job? When I earn a lot of money, my mother will be able to find me a good wife. She will be able to tell everyone what an important job I have. It will make it easy for her to find someone for me since all girls want
17、 to marry a rich man. I don“t care what kind of work I do as long as I earn a lot of money. That“s the most important thing for me. Having a well paying job will show everyone that I am successful, smart, and a good catch!3.Directions: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A person
18、should never make an important decision alone. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 Should People Make Important Decisions Alone?As far as I am concerned, some important decisions which we have considered thoroughly can be made by ourselves, but because
19、 of the limitations of knowledge and experience, we should also sometimes discuss our decisions with other people. We do not always have to make important decisions according to other people“s wishes, especially if those decisions are concerning our own dreams and hopes. There is a precondition, not
20、withstanding, that we must have carefully thought out how to realize these and what the results of those personal decisions might be. Parents often do not believe in their children and try helping them to decide what they should do with their futures. Consequently, children influenced by their paren
21、ts may lose their original dreams of being great scientists or world renowned athletes. Children and adults should all believe that even young people can think through problems carefully and completely. Children should not need to accept the opinions of their parents or someone else when making impo
22、rtant decisions concerning their personal futures. Still, we should concede that personal knowledge and experience are always limited to some extent. People, even experienced adults, could not examine all issues thoroughly and always make the wisest choice. At this time, we need to accept other peop
23、le“s suggestions so as to help us make decisions. For example, one powerful person at a superior position, like a president, seems easily to be arbitrary, listening few advices from his or her underlings. But the person“s activities may concern to a much wider extent, so any of his or her mistaken d
24、ecisions, for example, to start a war between two countries, would bring out a much more influential serious consequence. If so, we suggest these people to become more receptive, especially when they are making vital decisions. Besides, considering the example of children, their experience turns to
25、be inadequate due to immaturity. So when children have impulsion to make some wrong-headed decisions, like spending a considerable bill on useless dolls or delicious food, they should accept their parents“ suggestions. (However, we should concede that personal knowledge and experience are always lim
26、ited to some extent. No one, even experienced adults, can always examine all the issues thoroughly before coming to a decision. Even Presidents of countries have many advisors because, while the ultimate decision lies in their hands, they alone cannot know all the information necessary to make an in
27、formed decision.) In conclusion, when a child makes an important decision, he should listen to his parents more. But when he grows up, he should learn to make a decision alone.4.Directions: Some movies are serious, designed to make the audience think. Other movies are designed primarily to amuse and
28、 entertain. Which type of movie do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 Entertaining MoviesMovies have become more and more popular in our daily life. Many people like to choose to go to theater or watch movies on TV in their spare time. How
29、ever, it seems that different people have different tastes. For example, some people like to see some serious movies; on the contrary, others may enjoy the ones just entertaining themselves. As far as I am concerned, I prefer the latter ones, the kind of movies designed to make us laugh. Firstly I p
30、refer to watch movies designed to entertain is that watching a film is a form of relaxation for me. I work hard at my studies and must face a great deal of pressure every day. In addition, the world is full of bad news and serious problems. When I go to see a movie, I would rather forget my troubles
31、 and be amused than dwell on a serious subject. Another reason for preferring entertaining films is that when I do want to find out about a serious matter, I would rather do so by reading a book or watching news reports. I feel I can get more in-depth information and seek out a variety of sources th
32、at way. In this way, I will get a more balanced view of the issue. To sum up, I prefer entertaining movies because I think entertainment is what movies are best at. When I want to forget the pressure of modern day life for a while, I like to go to an amusing and entertaining movie.5.Directions: Some
33、 people are always in a hurry to go places and get things done. Other people prefer to take their time and live life at a slower pace. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 Live Life in a Hurry or at a Slower Pace?What“s your hurry?
34、Where“s the fire? I don“t see any need to rush to the next experience. There“s still a lot to see and learn from the chores around you. Taking care of your baby brother for instance can be very rewarding. You could simply keep him near you while you watch TV and write a letter and talk on the phone.
35、 Or you could devote your whole attention to him and observe his reactions to his environment. You can observe carefully, if you are trying to do four things at he same time. (Slowing down the pace of life helps us to enjoy life better. Take my trip to Hangzhou as an example. I was given the option
36、to travel by train or travel by plane. A simple cost benefit analysis told me that because the plane took less time, it was worth the extra money to take the plane. Instead I decided to take the train. Along the way I enjoyed the beautiful scenery I could have never seen from the plane. I also got t
37、o talk to some locals who told me about interesting places to go in Hangzhou off the beaten track. Life is like a journey, and sometimes you have to be willing to spend more time to “stop and smell the roses“.) Besides, decelerating the life pace brings us more friends. Rapid life rhythm always caus
38、es less communications among people. Consequently fewer opportunities to make friends today. Also considering the travel example, although taking train to Hangzhou cost a great deal of time, I had enough time to know many new friends who were proved to be much helpful in the future. Can you guess wh
39、at the result would be if I firstly decide to travel by plane? The limited time might not even allow a simple conversation between two people. Eventually slower life pace ensures us better healthy conditions. As it is known to all, rapid life rhythm does harm to health seriously by leading numerous
40、fatigue-caused diseases, such as lunacy, heart disease, and the like. Nobody restrict us to be so hurry when getting things done, especially when such hurry would cause health problems. According to my observation, people who have a slower life pace suffer less disease, maintain less unhappiness, an
41、d live much longer than people whose life is tense, even if the former finish jobs more slowly than the latter. (The fast-paced life can cause many health problems as well. Stress can do much damage to a person“s health. When people are running around all day, they may neglect to eat a healthy diet
42、or exercise. In this way they can do severe damage to their health.) Shortly, even if working rapidly will bring about more material benefits to make our society more advanced, such stress cannot produce enjoyment, friends or health, which seem much more significant than money or other material advantages. Hence, my preference is taking our time and living life at a slower pace.
