17、ns have different reasons for abstaining from eating meat. Some of them choose to be a vegetarian because of their religious belief, while others may do this to keep fit. In my eyes, being a vegetarian has both advantages and disadvantages. It is better to be a “short-term vegetarian.“ On the one ha
18、nd, being a vegetarian is in many ways good for our health. First of all, it can reduce the risk of hypertension , heart diseases and gastrointestinal diseases. Animal meat is rich in fat and protein and therefore may result in excess nutrients and indigestion . Vegetables, however, are more fiber-r
19、ich and easy to digest. Some people even pointed out that fiber is anticancer . For those who dream to loose weight, staying away from meat is also a good choice. Moreover, vegetables can help them flush out toxins in the body and make their complexion more attractive. In the second place, being a v
20、egetarian is environmentally friendly. As we all know, green plants can take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Animals, on the contrary, consume a large amount of green plants, aggravating the damage they have already done to the environment. By abstaining from eating meat, people are actually h
21、elping to protect the environment. On the other hand, eating no meat at all may result in malnutrition. Some vitamins and elements like calcium can hardly be obtained from vegetarian food. Strict vegetarians even refuse to eat eggs or drink milk, because they are also animal products. These people a
22、re more susceptible to illness because they are too weak to fight against diseases. In addition, some children may have vegetarian diets because of the influence of their parents. This is quite undesirable, for children are undergoing growth and physical development. Vegetarian food can hardly satis
23、fy their need for nutrition. Therefore, being a vegetarian may sometimes be harmful. As far as I am concerned, there is no need to go to extremes. We can reduce the amount or the categories of meat we eat and have more vegetables. For instance, chickens and fish are easier to raise than sheep and ca
24、ttle which feed on green grass and have a gigantic appetite. We can also choose to be a vegetarian on weekdays and eat some meat at the weekends. By being a shot-term vegetarian, we can circumvent the unfavorable factors and maximize the favorable ones of being a strict vegetarian. To conclude, vege
25、tarianism has become a culture and a fad. Everyone should cut the coat according to the cloth and figure out a most suitable diet for himself. 解析 素食主义是一种饮食的文化，素食主义者不食用来自动物身上各部分所制成的食物。吃素，除了能获取天然纯净的均衡营养外，还能额外地体验到摆脱了都市的喧嚣和欲望的愉悦。素食，已经成为一种全新的环保、健康生活方式。当然也有人不赞成素食，认为这样会导致营养缺失，对儿童和病人尤其不利。写作时可以选择其中任意一个角度，言之有
26、理即可。2.Several years ago, the Chinese were crazy about learning English. Nowadays, however, westerners are busy learning Chinese.

29、s may result in a loss of marks. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 Lingua Franca? Perhaps NotUndoubtedly, there is a mania for Chinese language around the world in the past couple of years. It seems that China is dispatching Confucius to various countries as a messenger, declaring to the world that the new ep
30、och of Chinese is beginning. As far as I am concerned, this is merely an illusion . Chinese will by no means replace English as the lingua franca of the world. First and foremost, Chinese characters are too complicated for westerners to learn. Most languages in Europe belong to the Indo-European lan
31、guage family , while Chinese belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language family . There is a huge gap between them. It is hard for a person to switch from the simple and easy alphabetic writing to the complex and difficult ideographic writing, while the reverse is much easier. That“s why many Chinese peopl
32、e can learn to read and write English in less than a year, while the westerners may fail to write Chinese even after five years“ study. A lingua franca is intended to make communication more convenient, but Chinese will only play the opposite role. In the second place, Chinese does not comply with a
33、 fixed set of rules. Learners are totally at a loss when listening to a talk between two Chinese people. For instance, “Dong“ means east in Chinese, while “Xi“ means west. When these two characters are combined, they mean “things.“ However, when Chinese people say “you are not a “Dongxi“,“ they are
34、not stating the fact, but cursing. Examples like this are numerous. An inconspicuous common expression in Chinese may sound to the westerners like an unfathomable allegory. In addition, a country“s national strength is not directly connected to the popularity of its language. Historically, although
35、the Normans once conquered the Britain, French did not replace English as the language of the country. As we all know, French is similar to English in many ways and has organized grammar. Even such a language could not undermine the status of English, let alone Chinese. What“s more, although China“s
36、 economy is developing by leaps and bounds, America and the EU are still the top two powers of the world. There is no reason that China will take place of them as the NO. 1 in the near future, nor will its language become the world“s overlord. For the reasons I have presented above, I do not go in f
37、or the idea that Chinese will replace English as the lingua franca of the world. Otherwise, English majors like us would be fishing in the air. 解析 孔子学院，即孔子学堂(Confucius Institute)，它并非一般意义上的大学，而是推广汉语和传播中国文化与国学的教育和文化交流机构，一般都是下设在国外的大学和研究院之类的教育机构里。 毫无疑问，随着孔子学院的设立，全球范围正掀起一股“汉语热”。然而，这并不代表汉语能够取代英语，成为世界通用语。首
38、先，汉字的书写过于困难。其次，汉语的语法很不规范，没有严格的要求，有的时候让一些学习者摸不着头脑。此外，一个国家经济实力的强大并不代表其语言的流行。3.Nowadays more and more people rely on computers or cell phones to communicate. Therefore, many people find they cannot remember how to write some commonly used characters. When they write, their handwriting is often scratchy
39、 and even ugly. Thus, many hold that more importance should be attached to Chinese handwriting. However, other people think it is quite unnecessary. What“s your opinion? Write an essay of about 400 words. In the first part of your essay you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second
40、part you should support your argument with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.

41、ure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 Time to Save Chinese HandwritingThe development of society is sure to have immeasurable effects on people“s life. As a result, many aspects of our customs and habits are changed accordingly. People joke that
42、with computer software and mobile phones being increasingly intelligent, people are more like idiots. The decline of people“s writing ability is a speaking witness . In my eyes, it is our responsibility to save Chinese handwriting. Above all things, we should understand that Chinese handwriting is a
43、 valuable heritage our ancestors bestowed on us. It is rich in history and sentimental meanings. Chinese characters have experienced thousands of years of development. Every change made to them represents a breakthrough in human history. These characters tell us how people lived in the past and what
44、 their mode of thinking was like. In addition, our ancestors left us countless ancient books written in all kinds of variants of Chinese characters. If we completely abandon Chinese handwriting, how will we be able to recognize the priceless prose, novels, dramas and poems etc.? Giving up Chinese ha
45、ndwriting is equal to saying goodbye to our history. Any nation that forgets about its history is doomed to have no future. Chinese handwriting is also a form of art which is an indispensible part of the Chinese civilization. The complex Chinese characters are the manifestation of traditional Chines
46、e aesthetics. When we look at calligraphy works by renowned calligraphers such as Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan, we cannot help being amazed by the bursting power and beauty in the characters. They can tell the temperament as well as the mood of the calligrapher . For instance, Wang Xizh
47、i“s handwriting is described to be “as ethereal as floating clouds and as vigorous as a disturbed Chinese dragon.“ These works are nothing less than paintings of Van Gogh or Leonardo da Vinci. What“s special about them is that they belong exclusively to the Chinese people. They are part of our national character. Moreover, Chinese characters usually carry with them special feelings, which monotonous standard fonts on computer screens are short of. Imagine how romantic it is
