17、 or not to raise the retirement age, which causes a great controversy. And, until now, no final conclusion has been made to the question. In fact, the reason why disagreements exist lies in the inappropriate retiring system. In my opinion, we should resort to a more flexible retiring system so as to
18、 create a fair and harmonious society and effectively make full use of human resources. And the following are the details to support my point of view. First and for most, people vary greatly from each other in terms of health condition, working sectors and working environment. To be more specific, s
19、ome people, say at the age of 60, may be very weak and fragile while others are strong and energetic; some people undertake heavy work throughout their lives while others may only do trifles all the time; some start their work at 18 while others are still learning at 30. If all people listed above g
20、et their retirement at the same age, it may be both practically impossible and rather unfair to the former group. Therefore, with regards to equality as well as practicality, I hold that it is quite necessary to apply a more flexible retiring system. That is, people in poor health or those undertaki
21、ng physical work can retire at an earlier age, while people who are healthy and sound or engaged in mental work can proportionally postpone their retiring age so as to complete their contribution to the work. Second, the unified retiring standard leads to an unseen waste of talent. As is known to al
22、l, under the present mode of education, it takes a long time and costs a lot to train people with high professional qualifications . And it has been common to see a doctor not go to work until the age of 30. If these people retire as young as people with lower education, it is no less than giving up
23、 a large fortune obtained at great expense. Especially now, when people with high professional qualification are in sever shortage, any waste of talents will intensify the situation. In short, a more flexible retiring system will not only help to realize our goal of equality and humanity but also me
24、et the demand for talents by our economic development. Therefore, we can say that a more flexible retiring system is appropriate for China“s actual conditions now. 解析 本题中的背景介绍中谈到：目前，中国政府正在考虑是否要将退休年龄推后；而关于退休年龄的制定，人们众口不一。作文要求考生发表自己对是否应该将退休年龄推后的看法。2.“Naked wedding“, a popular catch phrase in China coin

27、ion or make a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 My View on “Naked Wedding“In her book Pride and Prejudice , Jane Austin points out that marriage is not
28、 determined by property or family status; it is unwise to marry without money, but it is wrong to marry for money; the marriage settled by love is happy and ideal. This concept about marriage is enlightening for us even in this money-worshipping society. As far as I am concerned, “naked wedding,“ is
29、 acceptable under certain conditions. First of all, let“s look back on the old years when China was so destitute that few people seemed to have a decent house or any intact clothes, let alone a car or a diamond ring. Married or not, they were “naked.“ However, love was still the best ever feeling ch
30、erished by most people in the hard days. Some people married “naked“ and started their lives from scratch . Some were even heavily in debt at their marriage. Despite great hardship, many couples succeeded in making a fortune with their own hands. Isn“t their marriage successful? If houses and cars a
31、re necessary for marriages, how can we explain their happiness? Therefore, I strongly believe that “naked wedding“ is possible. However, by saying that “naked wedding“ is possible, I do not mean that it suits every young couple or that it will not bring about any difficulties. As we all know, as lon
32、g as two people get married, the woman will soon be expecting a child , which means she must stop working for at least a year. Then how can the couple support their children and themselves when they are already devoid of anything at marriage? Considering this, people who plan to have children soon a
33、fter the wedding should avoid being “naked.“ “Naked wedding“ also entails true love between the two. There is no doubt that they will encounter all kinds of obstacles after marriage. They have to pay the rent, work hard, give up the ease of life that they have enjoyed before marriage and shoulder th
34、e painful burden of life. Without a solid love foundation, they will probably end up in divorce, while those who truly love each other can finally struggle out of the difficulties with their joint efforts. Wedding is never an easy task; “naked wedding“ requires more. Only when the husband and wife t
35、ruly love each other and are willing to strive for a better future, can their “naked wedding“ end up fruitfully. Think twice before you choose “naked wedding.“ 解析 “裸婚”是指不买房、不买车、不办婚礼甚至没有婚戒而直接领证结婚的一种简朴的结婚方式，是 2008年兴起的网络新词汇。由于生活压力以及现代人越来越强调婚姻的“自由”和“独立”，“婚礼”在年轻一代的婚姻中被重视的程度日益削弱，因面“裸婚”也就成为“80 后”最新潮的结婚方式。本

39、Children, who are the future of a country, are supposed to be taken good care of by their parents. Most kids in well-off families are the apple of their parents“ eyes . The left-behind children in the rural areas, however, are short of love from their parents. They are a weak and vulnerable group of
40、 people who are faced with tough problems, and in great need of help. As we all know, children are maturing both physically and mentally. For one thing, they need good nutrition for body development. Most left-behind children live either with their grandparents who are unable to take good care of th
41、em, or with relatives who are just too busy with their own business. As a result, these children have to starve now and then, and suffer from malnutrition . For another, children are mentally weak. They need consolation when hurt, guidance when confused and praise when discouraged. Without such ment
42、al support, left-behind children often feel depressed and self-contemptuous, and may even develop mental diseases. What“s more, left-behind children may feel inferior to those who have their parents at home. They may lag behind in their studies or even drop out of school. Considering all the problem
43、s mentioned above, I feel great urge to help those poor kids. It is high time that the society took some measures to solve this problem. The best solution is of course that parents return home to take care of their children. Then how can they support their families without extra income earned by wor
44、king in the cities? Maybe the government should do something. They can build factories or companies in the countryside and improve the employment of the native work-force . Even if parents can not make it home, local governments and schools can help. Schools can open psychological education classes
45、and provide nutritious meals for the left-behind children. Local officials should keep in touch with them and send daily necessities to their home. The public can also do a lot to help. They can donate money to help the left-behind children, and write to them to communicate about their study and fee
46、lings. We college students can even go to those backward places to be volunteer teachers. Our knowl edge and happiness can do a lot of good to the left-behind children there. Poor left-behind children are as promising as flower buds , but they need our care to finally bloom, so let“s help them. 解析 本
47、题讨论的是当前受到广泛关注的一个社会热点话题农村留守儿童问题。留守儿童(the “left-behind“ children)，是指父母双方或一方外出到城市打工，而自己留在农村生活的孩子们。他们一般与自己的父亲或母亲中的一人，或者与上辈亲人，甚至父母亲的其他亲戚、朋友一起生活。这些留守儿童面临着诸多问题，如身心健康和教育问题。解决这些问题，需要社会各方面联合起来，共同努力。4.China is now endeavoring to develop its high-speed railway.
