13、ate title for your essay. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 Marriage: Try Before You CommitEver since ancient times, marriage is considered to be a sacred enterprise which is meant for lifetime. However, recent decades have witnessed a soaring number of divorces both in China and abroad. Some people suggest t
14、hat a couple should have a “trial marriage“ in the form of cohabitation before they make the solemn decision. As far as I see it, taking cohabitation as a “trial marriage“ should be encouraged since it gives more chances for the couple to understand each other and leaves space for reconsideration. F
15、irst of all, cohabitation can give the couple more opportunities to know each other. When a boy and a girl are dating, they usually present the best side of themselves to leave good impression. The impression, therefore, is one-sided. Details such as living habits and personal characters are somehow
16、 hidden. By living together, however, both the boy and the girl would completely show themselves to each other, just like the case after they get married. Questions such as who should do the cooking, the washing and the laundry would be put onto the table. The couple would hence be able to see wheth
17、er or not they can get along well. All these would be invisible if the two don“t live together. Furthermore, taking cohabitation as a “trial marriage“ provides the couple with a chance for reconsideration and even backing out. Marriage means the union of two persons. They are not only supposed to be
18、 living with each other for the rest of their lives, but also going to share many things such as their personal properties, their families and perhaps their children. If the decision of a marriage is immature, many problems can arise including emotional and legal ones. Therefore, unless the couple i
19、s 100% sure that they are ready for marriage, they should not irresponsibly rush into it. Serving as a “trial marriage“, cohabitation helps the couple to better realize whether they are entirely committed and ready to face the routine days after getting married. If they are not, at least they still
20、have the chance to reconsider their decision or even back out before any further harm is caused. As a conclusion, cohabitation acts as a good preparation for marriage. It not only gives the couple more chances to know each other, but also offers space for reconsideration before making the big decisi
21、on. 本题属于“支持与反对型”论说文，涉及的题材是“社会生活”。该题要求考生就婚前同居发表个人意见。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：由离婚数字飙升入题，提出观点应该鼓励婚前同居作为试婚。 主体：分两方面阐述原因。 1婚前同居能使对方更好地了解彼此。恋爱的时候，双方都只把自己最佳的一面展示出来，难以透彻地了解对方。同居作为试婚的方式能使一些日常琐碎的细节毫无保留地展露出来。这样，双方容易判断彼此是否合得来。 2婚前同居能给对方一个重新考虑甚至放弃的机会。两个人组成家庭后要面对很多问题，如果结婚的决定不够成熟，许多情感和法律问题都会相继出现。因此，婚前同居能给双方重新考虑或放弃的机会，避
22、免造成更大的伤害。 结尾：重申观点，同居是婚姻一种很好的准备。2.Mandatory Retirement Age?是否该强制设定退休年龄? In China, it is mandatory for men to retire at the age of 60 and women 55.

23、allow people to work as long as they could. What is your opinion? Should we impose a mandatory retirement age? 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 Mandatory Retirement Age Should Be ImposedIn China, we compare people of ab
24、ove 60 years old as those in second golden age. By golden, it means a carefree and lay-back life style and having much more time to spend with their children and grandchildren. Therefore, I think we should impose a mandatory retirement age, the benefits of which are not limited to the senior people
25、themselves, but are shared by the younger generation. First and foremost, mandatory retirement age is not set randomly, but supported by scientific and demographic findings. The retirement age of 60 for men and 55 for women is chosen as an average age, above which Chinese citizens begin to confront
26、themselves with physical and mental illnesses. As their physical and intuitive capacities are declining, it is cruel to ask them to live up to the demanding expectation of the employers. Besides, if senior people struggle to stay in the positions, they may not work as effectively as younger ones and
27、 may be more inclined to make mistakes. Just think about the situation where a 65-year old surgeon who suffers from cataracts is going to operate on a patient. Will the patient or his family feel at ease? The answer is a resounding “NO“. Mandatory retirement age protects the senior people from the s
28、erious mistakes caused by their weakening physiology. Furthermore, mandatory retirement enables young people to climb up the social hierarchy. If a senior manger is in the position forever, young subordinates will have a hard time getting promoted. In China, the promotion mechanism is usually based
29、on both merits and seniority. More often than not, seniority comes first, as we tend to respect workers who spend more years in the institution. For instance, in a university, the professorship is now based on limited quota, which is proportionate to the total number of teachers. If there were no ma
30、ndatory retirement, young teachers with scholarly achievement would be presented with fewer promotion opportunities. This is not fair for the aspiring young talents, which in turn fails to motivate them to strive for academic excellence. In other words, mandatory retirement frees up more vacancies i
31、n the professional hierarchy for younger employees. In conclusion, asking senior workers to retire at a certain age is not belittling their contribution, but a win-win decision for them to take a good rest and for the future generation to take control. When the golden retirement beams at us, we shal
32、l pass the baton to the younger ones and embrace the well-earned leisure. 本题属于“表达看法型”论说文，涉及的题材是“求职就业”。该题要求考生就是否应设立法定退休年龄提出意见。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：由颐养天年入题，提出观点应该设立法定的退休年龄。 主体：分两方面阐述原因。 1法定退休年龄的设定不是随意的，是以科学及人口学的研究支撑的。60 岁以上的男士及 55岁以上的女士会出现身体或精神方面的毛病，不利于工作的开展。举白内障外科医师的例子。 2设定法定退休年龄能把更多的晋升机会留给年轻一辈。中国的文化以
33、重资历为主，如果没有退休年龄，不利于年轻人晋升。举大学正教授配额制的例子。 结尾：重申观点，法定退休年龄对年长人士和年轻人士是双赢。3.Forced Interview“霸王面试” Given the difficulty of landing a job, university graduates are now more proactive.

35、ibly? 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 Forced Interview? Yes!As the number of university students soars in China over the last decade, university graduates are finding it increasingly difficult to find a decent job. For
36、 every job vacancy, there is a fierce competition. Facing such situation, some graduates have chosen to force themselves on HR personnel for an interview. Some experts believe that “forced interview“ is not workable. But as far as I am concerned, “forced interview“ helps graduates to seize more oppo
37、rtunities and enables them to stand out among competitors. To start with, asking for interviews forcibly can bring graduates more opportunities. Nowadays, since there are often too many applicants for a certain job, the initial screening process is fairly brief. I have once helped HR personnel to go
38、 through the resumes, who only spent less than one minute on each one. Apparently the time is too limited for one to read every detail in the resumes. Some applicants may get ignored and lose the chance of interview if their resumes are not attractive enough. In this regard, I believe that by forcin
39、g oneself into an interview, one can at least get more chances to let the HR know more and better about him. And in this highly competitive environment, opportunities are very important. Secondly, “forced interview“ also enables a job-seeker to stand out among his competitors. Typically an HR has to
40、 interview dozens of people every day, so it is vital that an applicant leave a positive impression. Otherwise he would not be considered as a potential employee. This is usually very difficult because interviewees are given fixed time slots and asked the same questions. A “forced interview“, howeve
41、r, may be impressive for the interviewers since it comes as a surprise. Furthermore, it also shows the eagerness of an applicant to get the job. Compared with those who follow routine schedules and give somewhat dull speeches during the interviews, graduates who force an interview may be easier to s
42、ucceed in their job-hunting. To conclude, in the highly competitive job market, “forced interview“ is workable because it not only gives graduates more opportunities to introduce themselves, but also makes it possible for them to distinguish themselves among competitors by leaving an impression on t
43、he interviewer. So I believe that “forced interview“ can be considered as a positive way in finding jobs. 本题属于“表达看法型”论说文，涉及的题材是“求职就业”。该题要求考生就毕业生求职时的“霸王面”发表个人的看法。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：从中国毕业生的就业艰难入题，提出个人观点“霸王面”能帮助学生获得更多的机会，也能使他们从众多竞争者中脱颖而出。 主体：分两方面阐述原因。 1霸王面能带给学生更多机会。举个人的例子，指出现在的竞争激烈，人力资源部门的人不会花太多时间去仔细看
44、简历。“霸王面”能为学生争取机会去表现自我。 2“霸王面”能帮助应聘者脱颖而出。“霸王面”还反映了应聘者渴求工作机会的愿望。与循规蹈矩的人相比，“霸王面”能给人力资源部的人“眼前一亮”的感觉。 结尾：重申观点，“霸王面”是一种积极的求职手段。4.Better English Scores, Better Job Offers?英语高分就能找到更好的工作 A recent report shows that many graduate job-seekers study exceptionally hard to get high grades in various English tests.

Should graduate job-seekers sit in various English tests to fight their way into the job market? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay. （分数：
46、20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 English Scores Do Not Always Open More DoorsThere is no denying that we are living in an increasingly competitive society. Graduate job-seekers, in particular, face tremendous pressure trying to find a good job. In such situation, many graduates sit in a variety of English tests,
47、 hoping that a better certificate in English may secure better job offers. I think such behavior is understandable but by no means recommendable. For me, English scores are not universally useful; and focusing too much on English tests can be a waste of time. To start with, although“ English is an important tool in modern society, English scores are not universally useful. Bet
