6、.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 Parents Should Make Important Decisions forTheir Older Teenage ChildrenNo one knows me as well as my parents. No one wants the best for me like my parents. It is actural that I should allow my parents to make important decisions for me. However, if teenagers are never allowed the
7、 opportunity to make important decisions for themselves, they will never learn the skill of making important decisions for themselves. As far as I am concerned, part of the process of being a teenager is learning good judgment. Teenagers have already separated from their parents to a large degree an
8、d therefore are accustomed to making some decisions independently. If there is a major decision to be made, for example, which university to attend, parents will usually express their preference, based on their own personalities and experience. Nonetheless, I maintain that the final decision should
9、always be made by the individual most affects, in this case the teenager. If it happens that the decision is wrong or not entirely suitable, it is the teenager who must deal with the consequences, not the parents; therefore, the decision-making power should lie with the teenager. If not at eighteen,
10、 at what age will parents finally allow their children decision-making freedom? Parents always have their children“s best interests in mind, but they should realize that they can“t always be there to make all the decisions for their children and that helping them develop decision-making skills is th
11、e best insurance against making mistakes. If young people are directly involved in making decisions about their lives, they will feel more in control and will modify their own behavior to live up to their decision. For instance, if parents choose medicine as their teenager“s major and force them to
12、study, this is not as effective as when the teenager chooses the major himself and is willing to use all his effort to succeed. The mid and late teenage years are a very formative period, as we start to test the waters of adulthood and consolidate the skills needed for the adult world. Good decision
13、-making is a vital part of a successful adult life and therefore the skills should be mastered as early as possible.2.Directions: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Most experiences in our lives that seemed difficult at the time become valuable lessons for the future. Use reasons
14、 and specific examples to support our answer. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 Can Difficult Experiences Become Valuable Lessons?Some people assume that most experiences in our lives that seemed difficult at the time will become valuable lessons for the future. I agree with it. In my opinion, most difficul
15、t experiences we go through now will help develop our personalities, such as persistence, independence and confidence, which are most valuable for our future. Difficulties are beneficial to our personal growth. In the course of our life, we are going to face numerous difficulties and obstacles, and
16、each difficulty will help us grow up, and become a valuable lesson for the future. A toddler fells off the ground for many times before he knows how to walk, and a child learns how to swim after he drinks water in the swimming pool. What is more, only after we experienced failures, we know the value
17、 of success. We will never appreciate anything that comes so easy. Difficulties can make us feel stronger and be more confident for the future obstacles. Besides, difficulties in our work can help us gain more experience and knowledge. Most of the times we can gain knowledge and experiences faster t
18、hrough experiencing difficulties in our life and trying to find a solution to the perplexities that we face. There is a famous saying, no pain, no gain. For example, when we take on a new job that we do not have much experience in, the first few weeks can be extremely painful and we may feel enormou
19、s pressure and difficulties. And we will try our best to adjust, to learn and to think, how to do this job better. The more difficulties we feel, the harder we try to acquire the skills and knowledge to overcome it. Learning in this stage is extremely efficient and our problem-solving skills well in
20、crease. After we overcome more and more problems, we can become an experienced worker in this field and will be able to take on more challenges. We will never fear that we will face the same kind of problem again. This means that we have accumulated valuable experiences for the future. To sum up, a
21、difficult experience is a gift that life gives us. We should appreciate it and take it as a precious opportunity to gain knowledge and experience about our study, work and life.3.Directions: Should a city try to preserve its old, historic buildings or destroy them and replace them with modern buildi
22、ngs? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 Should Historic Buildings Be Preserved or BeReplaced with Modern Buildings?Whether the city should try to preserve its old, historic building or destroy them? I believe that different people will have different
23、 opinions. According to my experiences, I think that we should reserve these old, historic building. I like to use following reasons to explain why I think so. One of the primary reasons that we should protect old buildings is that some of these graceful historic sites have irreplaceable value in th
24、e modern cities they inhabit and sometimes define. Take the Forbidden City in Beijing as an example, for us, not only is it the symbol of the ancient civilization that once ruled this nation, but it also contributes to the design of Beijing to this day. The Forbidden City is still the heart of Beiji
25、ng, forming the central point around which the modern subways and ring roads were built. This compelling mix of modern and ancient architecture is a good reason why some historic buildings should be left in modern cities. It should also be noted that some of those old constructions have unique archi
26、tectural value. The ancient Egyptians built those magnificent Pyramids and the Sphinx thousands of years ago. The fact that these structures still stand is a testament to ancient ingenuity, and a reminder of our own fallibility in an age when structures built mere decades before collapse in disrepai
27、r. What is more, some meaningful old buildings have many stories to tell, and they even can give us more history knowledge. Summer Palace in China, one of the most beautiful relics that I have been to, brought countless legends from over a hundred years ago. There is a long aisle in there. Each part
28、 of this aisle have different painting patterns on the roof showing different figures and stories. These old buildings have left us so much imagination that we have to protect them. Perhaps the most important reason to maintain old buildings is that they form the best living links to our past. For i
29、nstance, the Summer Palace in Beijing is a remarkable structure which allows one to imagine the opulent lifestyle of a long gone imperial China. Few people in China today could imagine what it was like to be the Emperor if these buildings had not been meticulously preserved, and for that we should a
30、ll be thankful. Frankly, there are a lot of old and poor buildings that do not have much historic or architectural value. We can destroy them and replace them with modern and more useful facilities. (So, whether for their compelling contrasts, durability or their ability to teach us about our own pa
31、st, historic buildings are well worth preserving.)4.Directions: If you were an employer, which kind of worker would you prefer to hire: an inexperienced worker at a lower salary or an experienced worker at a higher salary? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析
32、：参考范文 Hire an Inexperienced Worker with Low Salary oran Experienced One with High Salary?When it comes to whether an employer should hire workers with less experiences and lower pay, or to hire experienced workers with a higher salary, since there are always advantages and disadvantages of the two,
33、and there are always different situations, my personal option is to hire a worker inexperience at a lower salary. Foremost, those who can accept the lower salary are those not care too much about money, what they care the most is personal development. The success and failure of a company are correla
34、ted to employees“ attitude, a success company needs some men with the heart that eager to success. Besides, inexperienced men are always modest and friendly, they like to learn and listen to others opinion or suggestion, so they can improve their working skills by accepting some right opinions. Thes
35、e are two important characteristics of a good employee, not only they can bring success business to the company but also can set up a good company impression to the public. Then, those inexperienced employees are mostly just graduated from school. They are active and enthusiastic, to some extent, th
36、ey prefer working together as a team to working alone, teamwork can speed up the working efficiency and also make the company fill with energy. Since there are so many advantages, why not hire inexperienced guys!5.Directions: If you could study a subject that you have never had the opportunity to st
37、udy, what would you choose? Explain your choice, using specific reasons and details. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 Choose a Subject that You Have Never Had the Opportunity to StudyIf I could study a subject that I have never had opportunity to study, I would choose to study how to use the Internet. Ther
38、e are a lot of advantages that the Internet can bring to us. For example, it can get us informed timely, expose us to a lot of chances of knowing other peoples and their cultures, and help us obtain the materials for our studies conveniently. If I know how to use it, I can take the advantages of it.
39、 Being a skilled computer programmer can make our daily life better. With the advent of information technologies, every piece of information is stored in computers which consist of hardware and software. Without software, such as Microsoft Office, Word, Firefox, etc computers are like bodies without
40、 souls and serve no purpose. Software is built with programming languages. By learning computer programming, we gain the ability to develop software which satisfies our special needs. This will definitely make our lives more efficient and convenient. E-mail, instant messenger systems like MSN messen
41、ger and search engines, all these software would be impossible without programming languages. Besides, mastery of computer coding skills will probably help us find a job with a higher salary. According to a recent survey conducted by the Economics Department of Fudan University, the average income o
42、f new graduates from the computer science department is the highest among all graduate students of their University. This is because our country is still suffering from a shortage of computer programmers. As a result, many people have given up on their original interests and changed their careers to
43、 computer programming. At length, computer programming can help the development of new technologies. Using the art of computer coding, scientists, can write programs to monitor their scientific research and experiments, to analyze the experimental data and to make accurate judgments. For instance, a
44、 meteorologist can use a modeling program to simulate the meteorological conditions of a city, and predict their trends in order to make weather forecasts for people. Hardly any scientific progress these days is made without the help of a computer program. To sum up, it is my firm belief that studying computer programming is a wise choice, and therefore if I could study any subject I have not yet had the opportunity to study, it would be computer programming because of its monetary, everyday and scientific benefits.
