(分数:20.00)_正确答案:()解析:范文 Measures to Curb Tourists Who LitterOn the week-long national holidays in various scenic s
12、pots across China, tickets sales are busy; security guards are preoccupied. Above all, sanitation workers are hectic. Wherever Chinese tourists go, they leave a long trail of garbage behind. That is why the feature story of William Lindesay, a Briton who devoted himself to picking up trash on the Gr
13、eat Wall for 13 years, has paled us by comparison. In my opinion, preventative and penalty measures could be taken to train civic-minded tourists. In the first place, preventative measures could be initiated by governments or administrative authorities in the scenic spots. Stationing garbage bins ev
14、ery few miles and putting up signs to warn against littering are helpful in this regard. Usually, tourists want to keep the environment intact, but they just could not locate a near-by trash bin, so they have to throw away the redundant plastic bags in their hands. Besides, education campaign could
15、be launched to remind people of the harms brought by littering. The beauty of the scenery might be spoiled by the thrown-away bottles. The unattended garbage might attract bugs or flies, which pose a threat to our health. In other words, we should send the message to people that keeping the scenery
16、clean and tidy is the best way to honor the natural or historical scenes, with the help of the trash bins scattering across the scenic spot. In the second place, fines could be imposed upon those who litter. For example, in Hong Kong, those who litter on the street are fined up to HK$ 1,500. Similar
17、 penalty is also enforced in Singapore, where 2nd time offenders are required of court attendance and judges may order “Corrective Work Order“ (CWO). In Chinese mainland, we have litter penalty, but the fine is sometimes too insignificant to be taken seriously. Local governments can drastically incr
18、ease the fine and impose CWO to require offenders to clean up dirty streets or beaches, wearing luminous jackets. This “public humiliation“ will evoke the sense of shame in the offenders and prevent them from repeated offence. Aggressive as these measures may seem, they are immediately effective to
19、rectify the inherent wrong-doings. In short, we can resort to both chronic and acute remedies to cure the age-old problem of throwing away garbage at will. The civility of the tourists can be nurtured with the help of sufficient facilities and enforcement of severe penalty. 本题属于“现象解释型”论说文,涉及的题材是“品德修
20、养”。该题要求考生就“应采取什么样的措施来防止游客在景点里随地扔垃圾”做出阐释。按照题目的要求,可谋篇布局如下: 开头:由黄金周入题,提出观点:我们必须双管齐下,采取预防措施和惩罚措施。 主体:分两方面阐述。 1政府或景点管理部门应采取预防措施。每隔数百米就安置垃圾桶,竖起一些标识提醒游客不要乱扔垃圾。此外,我们应开展教育活动,提醒人们乱扔垃圾的害处。 2乱丢垃圾的人应该受到处罚。举香港及新加坡惩治乱扔垃圾行为的例子。国内大陆应提高乱丢垃圾的罚款以及实施严惩措施。 结尾:重申上述两方面的观点。2.Taking Filial Piety as the Requirement of College

You should supply an appropriate title for your essay. (分数:20.00)_正确答案:()解析:范文 The Importance of Filial PietyWhile
23、 different universities and various experts may hold divergent opinions concerning what admission standards would be like, it cannot be argued that filial piety, as one of the most valued virtues and one of the basic moral qualities in Chinese culture, should be listed in the standards to judge whet
24、her a student can be admitted to a college. Firstly, it should be noted that as a national moral standard, filial piety lies in the heart of the judgment of a person in China. Filial piety is not just some fancy idea from ancient books. In fact, it is so significant for Chinese people that it is not
25、 only frequently mentioned and referred to, but also set as a crucial standard to tell whether a person is virtuous or not. An old Chinese saying goes: “among all the good deeds, filial piety comes first.“ Since childhood, every Chinese person is educated under such notion. We are told that if we wa
26、nt to be a good person, we should always start with treating our parents well. In this cultural context, it is clear that ff one fails to live up to filial piety, he is not qualified as a moral person, let alone a moral student. It is hence not difficult to see that giving emphasis on filial piety i
27、s both sensible and fair. Additionally, filial piety is even more significant for elites-to-be college students. College students nowadays are typically more ambitions than before. They hope to become lawyers, doctors or government officials after they graduate. And these positions require greater,
28、sense of responsibility and moral integrity. As is known, great accomplishments start with tiny things. How can ordinary people be convinced that our nation is in harmony and stability when people with important duties are not even willing to look after their own parents? How can they treat people a
29、round them well without the sense of taking good care of their own parents first? Consequently, filial piety requirement of prospective college students is a reasonable act that is beneficial to the society. From what have been discussed above, it can be concluded that Beijing University“s decision
30、of taking filial piety as the requirement of college admission is a rational and wise one. In a society which regards filial piety as a criterion of deciding whether a person is good enough it is natural that college students with great expectations should live up to this basic standard. 本题属于“表达看法型”
31、论说文,涉及的题材是“品德修养”。题目要求考生对“是否应该把孝道纳入大学入学考核的标准”提出看法。按照题目的要求,可谋篇布局如下: 开头:提出观点孝顺放进招生标准中是正确的。 主体:分两方面阐述原因。 1在中国,孝顺是评判一个人道德水平的核心。如果一个人不孝顺,这个人的道德水平就有问题,难以当一名有道德的学生。 2大学生更需要受孝顺等道德约束。大学生日后会从事的职业需要很强的道德责任感。如果担当重要职责的人连父母都不愿意照顾,社会难以安定和谐。 结尾:重申观点指出北京大学将孝顺列入录取学生标准的决定是明智的。3.The Ungrateful Children不感恩的孩子 The (grand)
32、parent-child relation is no longer as intimate as decades ago. In news report, we are no longer strangers to those headlines such as “Mother Stabbed by Her Own “Son“ and “Grandma Bunged to Death over 10 Yuan“. The cold-blood killers are none other than their own (grand) children. As for a nation whi
33、ch advocates filial piety, what do you think are the causes leading to the ungrateful children? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay. (分数:20.00)_正确答案:()解析:范文 On the Ungrateful ChildrenThe shocking news that a college student stabbed his mother to d
34、eath because of her inability to remit the tuition fee has urged the society to reflect upon the moral decline of some children in China. Sadly, this is not an isolated case, because similar pieces of news are reported now and then in recent years. As I see it, both children and parents are to blame
35、 for the ungratefulness of children. First of all, it“s unfilial for the children to take their parents“ care for granted. In modern China, this is a prevalent phenomenon among many youngsters which results in ungratefulness for their parents. As an old saying goes, “Gratitude and greed go not toget
36、her.“ When children“s gratitude towards their parents is absent, greed will fill the void. Increasingly, children will be asking more from their parents, without being thankful. The more they ask, the less they will be appreciative. The vicious cycle is thus set in motion. Secondly, the lack of comm
37、unication between parents and children is attributed to the problem. Parents would usually spare no effort to love their children, especially the only child in a family. This love, however, has become a one-way street where some children“s love for their parents has weakened due to a lack of communi
38、cation. Kids are more often than not con- fined to themselves, unwilling to reach out for their parents. It is, therefore, necessary for children to take a first step to bridge the generation gap by talking to their parents, instead of simply taking whatever their parents offer. More communication w
39、ill enable kids to understand the efforts parents made to bring them up and the sense of gratitude would be nurtured. Thirdly, excessively permissive parenting also spoils the kids, which results in the absolute dependence on their parents. Since many parents would go to full length to save troubles
40、 from their kids, children usually develop an unhealthy reliance on their moms and dads. The habit of taking, not giving, has been formed and internalized in their mindsets. That is why parents should be a bit strict with their children, for the good of their personality and character-building. To c
41、onclude, parents and children must make concerted efforts to develop a healthy and close relation. As the saying goes, “Gratitude is the least of the virtues; ingratitude the worst of vices.“ Without the least of the virtues, children would be left with the worst of evils. This is what we should avo
42、id in our household. 本题属于“现象解释型”论说文,涉及的题材是“品德修养”。该题要求考生就“造成孩子忘恩负义的原因”做出阐释。按照题目的要求,可谋篇布局如下: 开头:提出观点:孩子忘恩负义是由父母和孩子双方共同造成的。 主体:分三方面阐述原因。 1中国的很多年轻人都理所应当地认为父母有义务照顾他们,因此,他们对父母毫无感激之情。 2孩子与父母之间缺乏沟通交流。 3父母过度纵容的教育方式,孩子过度依赖父母,形成了“只接受、不付出”的心理。 结尾:作小结,指出父母与孩子应共同建立亲密关系。“感恩是小德,忘恩是大恶。”该年轻人学会感恩,那么此次事件完全可以避免。4.Frugal
43、ity节俭 It is our Chinese tradition to be frugal. Since we were a child, we were educated of the virtue of frugality. As a college student, what benefits can you see from being frugal.

44、ts of FrugalityWhen Gary Locke, the new US ambassador, took office in Beijing, many Chinese people were actually taken aback by the ambassador“s frugal actsa plain black suit, a black backpack and a rejected coupon in hand. People had never thought that the government official from the rich country
45、would be so “stingy with money“. In light of this story, it is my belief that Chinese people, though relatively richer than before, should remain frugal, because frugality helps us with budgeting skills and a sense of gratitude. First of all, being thrifty is a way of managing our personal finance.
46、We are all familiar with the “from rags to rich“ stories. Li Kashing is a case in point. When Li was young, he was poor and extremely mindful of his expense, bordering on the verge of stinginess. As a matter of fact, it is because he was so careful with his every penny earned and spent that he devel
47、oped his keen insights into finance. He even urged his sons to practice frugality when they were pursuing studies abroad. He gave them just enough money to cover basic necessities, thus encouraging them to develop a skill of saving money and take good care of their personal finance. It is not an accidental coincidence that now his sons are experts in finance and investment. I
