12、nce the girl“s views on materialism became the spotlight on the stage and stirred heated controversy, dating shows have been restricted and cut down for the reason that they promote wrong value beliefs. For me, however, dating shows only reflect a social phenomenon that needs to be addressed. Cuttin
13、g down the dating shows is a reckless action which merely scratches the surface of the problem. In the first place, the restriction policy has ignored the fact that dating shows function only as a medium which allows different opinions to be expressed, instead of a platform which conveys certain kin
14、ds of value. The dating shows cannot control what the guests think or say. When a girl says she worships materialism, she is just expressing her personal viewpoint. The formation of such opinion may have something to do with the girl“s family background or her understanding of the world, but it sure
15、ly has nothing to do with the dating shows themselves. In other words, the assumption that cutting down dating shows would help curb or even eliminate such kind of inappropriate mindsets in the society is naive. It is implemented out of the wrong motive. That“s why it will only treat the symptoms an
16、d can never cure the disease. In addition, the officials have failed to understand that dating shows are actually doing them a favor by bringing the otherwise hidden problems to the surface. TV viewers these days receive more education and can judge what they see critically. As a matter of fact, whe
17、n the female guests“ views, right or not, are put on the Internet, comments by a lot of netizens will soon come after, which shows that most people can distinguish between truth and falsehood by themselves. As time goes by, some unhealthy values such as materialism in this increasingly commercialize
18、d society will obviously come out of viewers“ hot discussions and comments, and then arouse people“s high attention to reevaluate them. This is also a good chance for the government as well as the media to educate people to establish a better sense of value. Therefore, dating shows are not good for
19、nothing. They may cause reflections and bring education, which is beneficial to the society as a whole. In conclusion, cutting down dating shows seems a hasty action based on only one side of the story. Officials can make more sensible decisions if they are able to see the benefits brought by the in
20、cident. 本题属于“表达看法型”论说文，涉及的题材是“社会生活”。该题要求考生就“是否应限制相亲节目”提出个人的看法。按照题目的要求可谋篇布局如下： 开头：明确交代个人观点：限制相亲节目是不经考虑的行为，也必定于事无补。 主体：分两方面阐述原因。 1相亲节目只是一个发表意见的平台，并没有鼓吹某种价值观。限制相亲节目本身并不会限制错误的价值观，因此这种方法治标不治本。 2相亲节目将原本隐藏的问题聚焦到舞台上，在这个平台上所发表的观点是好是坏，观众自有定论。而让观众和社会展开讨论、甄别和批判，实际上是树立良好价值观的时机。 结尾：重申观点。2.Flash Marriage闪婚 Flash m

22、nion? Do you agree with flash marriage or not? 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 Flash MarriageIt is for sure that the pace of life nowadays is increasingly fast, but there are certain things that should not be hurrie
23、d through. Marriage is one of them. In my opinion, the so-called “flash marriage“ contradicts with the nature of marriage itself and is irresponsible and potentially problematic. To begin with, the idea of “flash marriage“ is incompatible with the essence of marriage. A mature marriage should be bui
24、lt on long-lasting love, trust and support, while “flash marriage“ is built on light-headed passion thoughtless in, pulse and mindless curiosity. As a saying goes, marriage is like a long race in which the most important ingredient for success is perseverance. One should not expect continuous excite
25、ment and romance in a marriage. Quite the contrary, he or she should learn to stand a stable and dull life and even tiredness bred from the bottom of heart. This might prove very difficult for the impulse-driven couples who dive into “flash marriage“ without much consideration, and who regard marria
26、ge as a sprint in which you get all the excitement in the world once you rush through the finishing line. Marriage is not simply the “result“ of a relationship; it is a starting point for a much longer journey, loaded with more responsibilities. Unfortunately, many couples who experience “flash marr
27、iage“ seem ignorant of this obvious fact. Secondly, “flash marriage“ is an irresponsible and potentially problematic act. Take the construction of a house for example. We do not just simply get the materials and start building. Instead, we have to make a detailed and thorough plan first. We should a
28、ssess the surrounding environment, check the wiring and plumbing, and before we actually build the house we must make sure that we have a solid foundation and durable materials. The same is true with marriage. Before two people decide that they want to be with each other “till death do them apart“,
29、there are things that have to be worked out. Are they absolutely committed? Would they really get along? What would the life be like after marriage? If these questions are not made clear, the marriage might become vulnerable. And an unhappy marriage usually affects family members as well as friends
30、of the couple involved. To hastily enter a lightening marriage is apparently irresponsible and may cause lots of problems for the flash-married couple. All in all, “flash marriage“ is an irresponsible and problematic behavior which runs counter to the essence of marriage and should therefore be disc
31、ouraged. 本题属于“支持与反对型”论说文，涉及的类型是“社会生活”。该题要求考生就“闪婚”提出个人的看法。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：清楚表达个人观点不支持“闪婚”，认为“闪婚”是不负责任的行为。 主体：分两方面阐述个人观点。 1探讨婚姻的真谛持久的责任感。闪婚显然是冒进的表现。婚姻不只是恋爱的“结果”，它是另一场更长、责任更多的旅程的开端。 2详述闪婚的弊端缺乏感情基础、责任感。匆匆忙忙地开始一段不稳定的婚姻，显然不负责任，会引发许多问题。 结尾：重申观点，婚姻不宜操之过急，闪婚不可提倡。3.Olympic Games奥运会 Olympic Games are the m
32、ost watched sports event in the globe. Yet the staging of the Olympics is notoriously costly. Some people argue that investment in hosting the Olympics is a waste of money, while others say that longer-tern benefits from the Olympics are more substantial than shaft-term reward. What is your opinion?
33、 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 Higher, Swifter and StrongerThe Olympics are a glamorous event, mixed with criticism and skepticism. Those who are not in favor of the Olympics say that it is a lousy expense, with few
34、tangible benefits. Some hosting cities, like Athens, are still paying their debts from staging the Games. Despite these negative outcomes, I believe that the Olympics are worthy of our investment, especially viewed in a long-term perspective. First of all, the infrastructure in the hosting cities wi
35、ll be greatly improved and will bring lasting convenience to their citizens. To stage satisfactory Olympic Games, the city authorities need to optimize its transportation, accommodation, catering and sporting facilities. These infrastructures are all there for the citizens to enjoy, even if the Olym
36、pics are over. Besides, in order to survive the international scrutiny, the standard of these facilities should be frost-rate. That is to say, the citizens will be able to benefit from the high-standard railroads, subway systems, stadiums, hotels, restaurants, to name just a few. Secondly, the Olymp
37、ics will bring far-reaching economic effects. While it is true that no Olympic Games are able to bring an immediate return of the investment, the longer-term economic effects are more substantial. To be specific, the tourism revenue generated from the Olympics is quite impressive. For instance, the
38、Water Cubic and Bird“s Nest, two famous sporting facilities in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, are now two must-see items in Beijing tours, attracting tens of thousands of tourists on a daily basis. Another example is Australia where the government estimates that as much as 20 billion RMB worth of touris
39、t revenue was directly created in the four subsequent years after the 2000 Sydney Olympics. These figures demonstrate that the economic benefits of the Olympics are greater in longer terms. Thirdly, the Olympics are excellent opportunities to show the power of the hosting country. Since athletes fro
40、m all over the world would participate in the games, it is a golden opportunity for the hosting country to send a positive message to the outside world. For instance, the 2008 Beijing Olympics was regarded as a window, through which other countries could witness the great economic achievement and ex
41、perience, the diverse cultures in China. Therefore, it is fair to say that each hosting nation has something to tell and to impress the participants. To conclude, following the Olympic spirit of “higher, swifter and stronger“, the long-term benefits of staging the Games are higher living standard, s
42、wifter economic growth and greater national pride. 本题属于“表达看法型”论说文，涉及的题材是“社会生活”。该题要求考生对举办奥运会的价值提出个人的意见。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：由雅典至今仍旧在为奥运的债务埋单入题，然后提出观点投资奥运的意义在于长期回报。 主体：分三方面阐述原因。 1举办城市的基础设施会得到极大的改善，给当地市民带来持久的便利。列举一些常见的基础建设。 2奥运会能带来深远的经济影响。以北京奥运会和悉尼奥运会的数字为例。 3奥运是一个展现国力的良机。以北京奥运会为例。 结尾：以奥运会精神重申上述三方面的观点。4.

45、iate title for your essay. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 On High-profile CharityPeople in China are now getting accustomed to news snapshots of Chen Guangbiao, a famous Chinese philanthropist, surrounded by a group of disadvantaged people with donated cash in hand. Quite many are disgusted by this kind of
46、 showoff generosity, because it goes against the traditional Chinese virtue of “not seeking recognition from doing good“. Personally, however, I applaud the charity in the spotlight. To start with, this high-profile manner could urge millionaires and lucrative companies to contribute more to the soc
47、iety. Profit-seeking businesses nowadays are too often concerned with material gains, paying little attention to repaying the society. Against this backdrop, if charity is brought to the limelight, greater sense of corporate social responsibility would be called upon among the corporate communities. With the pressure from public exposure, enterprises and rich individuals w
