12、Slow City, Simple ReturnThe Slow City Movement, initiated by four small Italian cities, advocates slowing down the rhythm of life and tuning in a green and sustainable lifestyle. It“s a concept that Chinese people are rarely acquainted with. Least known is the fact that Gaochun in Jiangsu Province h
13、as become the first “slow City“ in China. Despite complaint of boredom from young people, I think the Slow City Movement is a hopeful return to self, nature and tradition. In the first place, for residents of a slow city, they are blessed with a calming and healthy way of life. The 135 slow cities i
14、n 24 countries around the world encourage their citizens to take an afternoon nap every day and eat only naturally-grown food, also known as slow food. Apart from better health, peace of mind is easily sought, thanks to an anti-pollution and anti-noise proposition limiting the number of industrial e
15、stablishments and the use of cars. People work about 35 hours per week, with their clock set back 30 minutes. The Slow City Movement has turned down the volume in people“s busy, noisy and complicated modern life. In the second place, slow cities are granted with a green and beautiful environment. Al
16、l slow cities are equipped with a noise control system and an environmental sewage treatment mechanism. Besides, the number of billboards and neon signs is kept to a minimum. Sustainability comes first in filtering potential business investors and eliminating those with environmental hazards and hig
17、h energy consumption. Following a path of ecological conservation and development, the once-barren hillside of Gaochun City was transformed into a green gem. With the interest of future generations in mind, people there strive to strike a balance between nature and economic progress. Last and most i
18、mportantly, the Slow City Movement helps to preserve a unique local culture. Swamped by the tide of globalization, urban cities nowadays are finding it difficult to maintain individuality. People usually feel left behind, if no fast food chains, supermarkets or department stores are introduced to th
19、eir communities. Against this backdrop, the Slow City Movement underlines keeping the cultural and natural personalities of a city, especially saving products or customs signifying a local taste. In Gaochun, for instance, the handicraft industry is rescued from the danger of extinction, saving not o
20、nly the livelihood of local craftsmen but also an invaluable cultural heritage. Nightlife and urban excitement fashion a city coated with sleepless youth and vitality. But what we eventually need is a final home of peace and tranquility, a shelter for our souls, which is what slow city is all about.

In China, people can purchase tickets with pre-printed digits or select number combinations from the lottery Vendors. Some people argue that lotteries are a form of gambling, which should be abo
23、lished. Do you agree or disagree to abolish national lotteries in China? 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 National Lotteries Should Be PreservedRecent years witness some lucky guys who won lotteries and took home the ja
24、ckpots worth of millions of RMB. Of course, these winners belong to a tiny portion of a greater population of lottery-purchasers. For those who did not hit the jackpot, there is no reason to be upset, because they are, indirectly, contributing to charities, sporting industries and government revenue
25、s. In this regard, I do not think we should abolish national lotteries in China. First and foremost, national lotteries provide a chance for average people to wish for a fortune and contribute their bits to charities. People who buy lotteries realize that the chance to get a windfall is slim. Howeve
26、r remote the chance is, they can hope for a better and different life. As Milan Kundera, the author of The Unbearable Lightness of Being, eloquently pronounced, “Life is elsewhere“. Lotteries are the elsewhere-life for those people who dare to dream and hope. Besides, should their dream not come tru
27、e, they won“t be devastated, because their investment of lottery doesn“t go to the dike but to the charity foundations which help out poor children in less developed areas. The hope of the lottery-buyers may vanish, but the investment would become a sparkle igniting the hope of the kids in desperate
28、 needs. There is nothing more satisfying than an investment like lotteries, which are able to transform our life or the life of others. Whilst some people are worried that lotteries might lead people into the abyss of addiction, it is not as monstrous as other forms of gambling. The frequency of nat
29、ional lotteries is usually once a week or even twice a month. What“s more, it is impossible for people to take the risk to win for a streak within a short span of time, which is the root cause for being addicted to casino gambling. Because of the slim chance of winning the top prize, lottery-buyers
30、are usually more rational than those casino frequenters. Up till now, there are very few, if any, reports about people taking out all their savings or even borrowing against their houses to purchase lotteries. The concerns of addiction are hence exaggerated. In conclusion, national lotteries are bot
31、h a hope given to those who want to live otherwise and a significant contribution to the endeavors in charities, sports and other social undertakings. Therefore, it should not be abolished simply because of the underserved concerns of addiction. 本题属于“支持与反对型”论说文，涉及的题材是“社会生活”。题目要求考生就“是否赞成中国取消彩票”发表个人看法
32、。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：按题目要求提出个人观点：不赞成取消彩票。 主体：分两方面阐述原因。 1彩票既能给人带来希望，也能为社会不同的事业作贡献。分两种情况阐述：赢得彩票自己能圆梦，中不了奖则帮别人圆梦。彩票的收入是用于慈善事业、体育事业等，因此不会白买彩票。 2彩票不会引起人们上瘾。上瘾的形成需要在短时间内有连续赢得高额奖金的诱惑，但是彩票开奖周期长，而且赢得高额奖金的机率相对于赌场小。因此，我们至今甚少听到有报道说人们会倾家荡产去买彩票。结尾：重新观点，我们不应该取消彩票。3.A Ban on TV Commercials电视剧中禁止插播广告 China“s top bro
33、adcasting watchdog, State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT), has announced a ban on commercial advertisements inserted in TV dramas, requiring all TV broadcasters to re-arrange their programs and delete commercials that are scheduled to air in the middle of soap operas and other d
34、ramas. People take this regulation with mixed feelings. What is your opinion? Is SARFT“s regulation a wise move? 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 TV Commercials Will Never Walk AwayAre you fed up with those endless low
35、-grade commercial ads popping up right at the key turn of a TV drama? “No worries“, some says. State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) is here to turn the table with a ban on inserted ads. In my opinion, however, this ban is not a wise act. Firstly, advertising revenue is one of t
36、he important sources to keep a TV station in operation. Limiting the amount and time slots of commercial ads is no doubt cutting down their financial resources. It is estimated that cutback on TV commercials may cause a loss of more than 20 billion yuan. With the advertising revenue dwindling, it is
37、 not surprising that we may have to pay for a TV program in the near future. Secondly, as a Chinese saying goes, where there is a policy, there is a countermeasure. In order to stay in the competition, TV broadcasters will figure out their own ways to get around the ban, either by lengthening ads be
38、fore and after an episode, or by tagging sponsors“ logos on the comers and inserting rolling titles at the bottom of the screen during the show. Product placement, i.e. brand goods to be displayed in the program, could be the new trend in the TV industry. So far product placement is not yet subject
39、to any legal restrictions in China. Therefore, TV viewers would fall into victims of rampant product placements in the episodes. Finally, cutting down the excessive commercials is only treating the symptoms. Ever since 2003, SARFT has ordered a number of bans concerning commercial ads, none of which
40、 has proven effective for the ad complaint so far. Is there an ultimate prescription that not only alleviates the symptoms, but serves a permanent cure as well? A quantified solution such as “no more than 12 minutes of commercial ads per hour“ is obviously not the answer. In my opinion, SARFT might
41、as well restructure its regulation measures. For example, instead of pushing forward a restriction-oriented policy, SARFF should turn to an incentive-driven measure, where TV stations with the fewest commercial complaints will be financially rewarded. To guide, but not to restrict, might be a better
42、 option. In a nutshell, this ban is only beating around the bush and it won“t be long before a new one is in need. What the whole TV industry needs is a reform that gets to the core. 本题属于“表达看法型”论说文，涉及的题材是“社会生活”。题目要求考生对“电视剧中禁止插播广告是否是明智之举”提出意见。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：提出观点该限制的措施难以收到应有的效果。 主体：分三方面阐述原因。 1广告是
43、电视台的收入来源之一，削减后电视台的收入来源将减少，也许我们将来必须为电视节目付费。2“上有政策，下有对策”，限制电视广告的播放，很有可能催生另外的歪风，如电视剧广告植入。 3限制的措施不得要领，建议用奖优，而不是惩罚的方式来疏导电视广告。 结尾：重申观点，指出应该直接面对问题的本质，用奖励代替惩罚。4.Resentment Towards the Rich仇富 In China, there is a special social mentality called “resentment toward the rich“, meaning the general public is, to
44、a lesser or greater extent, holding grudge against those rich people. This resentment has been growing for the past years. What do you think are the major causes that lead to this mentality? 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
45、析：范文 On Resentment Towards the RichAccording to a survey, as many as 96% of the public said they felt resentful towards the rich. The recent reports, like some wealthy people flaunting their luxurious possession and lifestyle online, add fuel to the fire. As far as I see it, the resentment towards t
46、he rich results from the widening gap between the rich and the poor and also the impression that “rich guys usually get their way“. First of all, the hatred against the rich is principally caused by the increasingly widening gap between the rich and the poor in China. With the reform and opening-up
47、policy as well as the market-based economy, China has achieved great economic growth. However, while some people have profited from such growth, others are still struggling for basic necessities. The rich and the poor are gradually polarized in Chinese society, which has led to intensifying social conflicts. In fact, nowadays, the mindset of hatred towards the wealthy is frequen
