12、propriate title for your essay. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 Say No to Adaptations of Chinese OperasAs a Chinese learning wave sweeps across the western part of the globe, we see an opportunity to export our native culture, among which are Chinese operas. While many advocate adaptations to cater for unde
13、rstanding of foreigners, I believe it“s a better idea to maintain the original taste and flavor of Chinese operas. To begin with, the combination of traditional Chinese melodies with English words is not pleasing to the ear, artistically or aesthetically. The opera is a performing art comprised of n
14、ot only tunes but the native language in which words are sung. Apart from stage settings, costumes and movements of performers, the musical intonation of words also conveys significant messages. Singing the original Chinese tunes with English lyrics would be an absurd combination, neither fish nor f
15、owl on stage, let alone precise understanding of the messages Chinese operas convey. It therefore can be said that such combination in itself already fails as an artistic form. Another important issue is that local Chinese operas presented with a tint of foreign color are running the risk of losing
16、its local traits. As the saying goes, only when it belongs to the people can it be embraced by the world. When Chinese operas are stripped of certain local traits, what“s left is a distorted version of our culture, which might result in misinterpretations or cultural stereotypes. What, then, is the
17、point of passing on such a cultural product if it does not speak for its land of Origin? Music is a universal language without boundary that delivers an incisive and vivid description of emotions. When Italian operas were first introduced to Chinese audience, no adaptations were made to adjust to a
18、non-Italian-speaking nation. And yet they have succeeded in taking our breath away. If you ask Dai Yuqiang, a renowned Chinese tenor, to give a performance of the famous song Nessun Dorma from the opera Turandot, chances are that he would sing. it in Italian, not Chinese. Translation can somehow hel
19、p viewers understand the meaning of the song, but it is the original language that could best represent its emotion. To conclude, the harder we try to get the world to know more about China, the more confident and assertive we should be about our valuable cultural heritage. Something is bound to be
20、missing in the process of cultural communications, but the least we can do is to make sure that the essence doesn“t get lost in translation. 本题属于“表达看法型”议论文，涉及的题材是“文化教育”。该题要求考生就“中国戏剧是否要做出改变以介绍到外国”提出意见。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：由学习中文热潮入题，提出观点保留中国戏剧的原汁原味。 主体：分三方面阐述原因。 1从艺术角度和审美角度来说，戏剧和英语唱词的结合不悦耳，且四不像。 2浸染了异国
21、色彩的中国戏剧很容易失去本土特色。 3音乐是全人类共通的语言，跨越了国界，准确而生动地描绘了情感的起伏。举意大利歌剧传入中国时未作任何改动及戴玉强不用中文唱意大利歌曲的例子。 结尾：重申观点，指出我们在介绍自己文化的过程中要有自信，不要丧失自己的文化精粹。2.Homeschooling在家教育 Homeschooling is to educate children at home, typically by parents or sometimes by tutors, rather than in other formal settings of public or private sch

23、out 400 words on the following topic: The Advantages/Disadvantages of Homeschooling Pre-school Kids（分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 The Advantages of Homeschooling Pre-school KidsGiven the limited quotas in Chinese first-rate Kindergartens, many parents have to reserve the schooling vacancies two years ahead
24、 and usually pay a significant amount of reservation fee. As a matter of fact, parents can choose to homeschool their kids as an alternative. The advantages of homeschooling are two folds: exploring children“s potential talents and developing their interests at their own pace. First of all one of th
25、e most distinct advantages of homeschooling is to tap into children“s potential to their fullest. Unlike the standardized curriculum in kindergartens, the flexible scheduling of homeschooling provides more opportunities and possibilities for kids to unleash their talents. If your kid is interested i
26、n dinosaurs, iris curiosity about prehistoric animals will not be killed prematurely, simply because dinosaurs are not mentioned in the textbook. Similarly, if your little girl is a natural dancer, she will have all the time she needs to sharpen her dancing skills, without being required to sit tigh
27、t and behave well in a classroom. Homeschooling allows your children the freedom to try whatever activities that might interest them. As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. In this context, you do not have to worry about kids hating learning and acquiring skills, because they are not forc
28、ed to learn, but want to learn. What is more, homeschooled children enjoy the luxury of learning at their most comfortable pace. As is known to all, peer pressure is mounting in the increasingly competitive world. This pressure is now even present in kindergartens. Sometimes, kids compete against ea
29、ch other to be the teacher“s pet students by showing off what they have remembered from the class. This aggressive mentality will do good to nobody, because the one who makes it is already burdened down at the tender age and the one who does not make it will think less of himself. Homeschooling, on
30、the contrary, is able to keep children“s confidence intact. Kids can be taught and trained at a relaxed pace. It is just like cultivating fruits and vegetables in the garden. It is good to let them grow organically, rather than expedite the process by adding chemical fertilizers. Products of natural
31、 growth are truly healthy, so are the kids. To conclude, Confucius“ education concept of “individualized instruction“ is the defining feature of teaching pre-school children at home. Homeschooling gives kids all the individualized attentions they need to exploit their talents, without being overwhel
32、med by the fierce competition. 本题属于“现象解释型”论说文，涉及的题材是“文化教育”。该题要求考生就“学前阶段(不上幼儿园)在家教育”选一个角度来阐释。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：按照题目要求提出学前阶段在家教育的两个好处：充分挖掘孩子的潜能、让孩子能以自己的进度来学习。 主体：阐述两方面的优势。 1学前阶段在家教育能充分挖掘孩子的潜能。在家教育不受课本、课室、教学大纲的规限，家长可根据孩子的实际兴趣爱好挖掘孩子的潜能。“兴趣是最好的老师”，孩子有兴趣就学得更有效。 2学前阶段在家教育能让孩子以自己的进度来学习。“同龄人的压力”在幼儿园也时有出现。无

34、ds in China. What is your opinion? Should parents adopt strict or even violent parenting to nurture their kids? 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 Strict Parents: Dancing with Wolves?Every parent wants to raise his or her
35、 child to be a well-rounded person. However, the means to achieve this end may differ greatly. The recent emergence and promotion of strict and even violent parenting methods, represented typically by Tiger Morn in U.S.A. and Wolf Dad who indeed managed to send three out of four of his children to t
36、he prestigious Beijing University, may seem workable at the first sight. But as far as I can see, such methods are shortsighted and should be avoided since they would only result in loss of childhood happiness as well as future potentials. To start with, the adaptation of inappropriately strict pare
37、nting methods deprives children of their childhood happiness. Childhood is the most beautiful and precious time of one“s life since a child is innocent and free from pressure. Kids should be allowed plenty of opportunities, attempts and even failures because when a child grows up, he/she will not ha
38、ve as much freedom. Enacting strict timetables and course plans and enforcing it with violence, therefore, are simply not the right way to treat children, whose nature is active, carefree and unrestrained. More significantly, as Sigmund Freud has remarked, unhappy and dissatisfying childhood may lea
39、d to serious psychological problems. Tiger Morns and Wolf Dads should probably take this point into account before they decide the way they nurture their children. Moreover, such parenting methods may result in the loss of future potentials. Tiger Morns and Wolf Dads may pride themselves on securing
40、 their children into a top university in China, but they have ignored the fact that under the current exam-oriented education and evaluation system, entering into a good university doesn“t necessarily secure success. Their methods work at the moment because they have successfully trained their child
41、ren into soldiers, if not machines, who are good at listening to and obeying orders. What may be a point of concern is how well can these children cope with different matters when they face a world with no directions, no clear regulations and definitely no orders from their parents. Their innovation
42、 and intuition have been limited or even murdered by their parents. Sadly, these are the two most important qualities in a competitive world. To conclude, nurturing children with extremely strict and even violent methods is certainly not recommended. It is without doubt an unwise way applied at the
43、expense of children“s childhood happiness as well as future potentials. 本题属于“表达看法型”论说文，涉及的题材是“文化教育”。该题要求考生就“应不应该采取严格或暴力的方式教育孩子”提出个人看法。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：从家长热切希望孩子成才入题，指出严格或暴力的教育方式是缺乏远见的，会使小孩丧失童年乐趣并影响其潜能的发展。 主体：分两方面阐述原因。 1严格或暴力的教育方式使孩子没法过上一个快乐的童年。指出孩子的天性是纯真、自由和无忧无虑的。引用弗洛伊德的观点，指出严格或暴力的教育方式会对孩子造成负面的心理
44、影响。 2严格或暴力的教育方式影响孩子发展其潜能。孩子长大进入社会后更多需要的是创造力和思维能力，但严格或暴力的教育方式限制了这两方面的发展。 结尾：重申观点，严格或暴力的教育方式不可取。4.Sanitation Workers“ Overseas Study Tour环卫工人到海外学习 Seventy outstanding sanitation workers from Yibin, Sichuan province, were sent to Singapore on a study tour, which has sparked online controversy.

46、essay. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 A Beneficial MoveEver since a sanitation workers“ study tour to Singapore was initiated in Yibin, Sichuan Province, there have been ongoing disputes over whether it“s justifiable and helpful. From my point of view, it is beneficial and necessary to send sanitation work
47、ers on an oversea study tour. Firstly; this study tour demonstrates the society“s respect for sanitation workers as well as recognition the of their hard work. As beauticians of the city, they wake up before sunrise to sweep off fallen leaves and scattered dust and get off work after sunset, covering usually a 12-hour shift even on holidays. They deal with the dirt and filth of t
