1、专业八级分类模拟 333 及答案解析(总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、WRITING(总题数：6，分数：100.00)1.题目要求：Beijing is contemplating charging congestion fees for cars that enter the city center during peak hours in a bid to ease the traffic condition and improve the air quality in the capital. Heated discussions on the effectiveness
2、of congestion fees are aroused among people. The following are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the different opinions; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, c
3、ontent sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. BadBreath (the US): Drastic measures must be taken or imposed in order to deal with the horrendous pollution problems throughout China. They can place enormous tariffs on ca
4、rs to minimize traffic volume and pollution. Then, continue expanding the subway to the best of their ability. Brendan (the UK): The congestion charge was introduced in London in 2003 in a bid to reduce inner-city traffic volume and prevent pollution. The congestion charge of about 11.5 is required
5、to enter the zone. In the 12 years since the congestion fees have been levied, traffic volume and pollution have fallen sharply. The policy can be named as one of the most successful policies. Matt (China): I support the move! I have to endure road congestion every day to and from work; I don“t know
6、 whether this congestion charge will be an effective solution to this problem or not, but I sure hope so! The ways of managing cars that are currently in force are unreasonable since they cost a lot in fees even for people who don“t drive cars. It would be better to change to a situation where those
7、 who drive cars bear high costs, while those who do not drive cars pay no money at all. Britomart (China): There“s another very significant factor, which our city“s officials seem to be ignoring. Congestion fees are no barrier to the very wealthy, to whom fees and regulations are negligible. If anyt
8、hing, higher rates simply serve to show off that they are the elite, to whom money is irrelevant. Stranger123 (the US): Such fees are just more income for the government. People who need to drive will pay the fee. No such fee can ever stop or deter anyone from driving. You know why? Driving is not a
9、 luxury as you imagine. To many people, driving is a necessity. Why don“t you ban cars? This would work greatly. Arun (Singapore): The congestion charge is almost proven not to work all by itself. It has to come backed up with extensive public transport systems. Singapore has a decent public transpo
10、rt system and that is why the congestion charge works. Singapore has a metro stop almost every two blocks (in the central districts) and buses every 5 minutes to feed them. The inherent solution itself comes with the way the city is designed so that people travel less. China could solve part of the
11、problems with ramping up the density of residential areas around their work places. PatrickInBeijing (Germany): Congestion fees might make more sense if they are coupled with other programs. Several people have noted to improve mass transit. How about lower fees for cars with multiple passengers and
12、 higher fees for cars with only one person? Multiple passenger cars could also be given priority at toll booths. Electric cars could get reduced fees, while large cars that produce more pollution would pay more. There are a number of ideas which could help. Keep in mind that it is not just about con
13、gestion, but about pollution and that not all cars pollute equally. （分数：16.50）_2.题目要求：If you saw someone lying on the ground in pain or bleeding, would you stop to help him? Or would you just walk by for fear of being scammed? The following are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpts carefu
14、lly and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the opinions from different sides; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result
15、in a loss of marks. Yes, but with caution Casseopeia (Thailand): I think you should trust your intuition. Different situations will call for different reactions. Maybe if you are afraid of being scammed, you can bring a few witnesses with youget about four or five people together around you and go t
16、o help the person together. DSseeing (the US): If the situation is physically violent or it seems that it might become so, be cautious when you are involved. If you don“t feel safe to lend a hand, even standing nearby and making it clear that you are watching and are a witness to what is happening c
17、an help. If you“re concerned for the victim“s immediate safety, stay back and call 911. Gabrielleleilei (India): Helping others may sometimes bring us trouble or even put us in danger. So when we are helping others, we should also protect ourselves and offer our help in an appropriate way. For examp
18、le, to help someone who was robbed of, calling the police is a much wiser way than chasing after the robber alone. Yes, certainly BlondeAmber (Canada): My instinct is to go and help: I am first aid trained. At home I have done this and there have been no problems. In China I would think twice unless
19、 I was with a friend who filmed everything should I be accused of causing the accident, I would certainly call an ambulance, although I would probably be charged for it. Jarek (Belgium): In Belgium by law you are obliged to help people in distress. The only time you are free from helping is in case
20、you will put your own life at risk by helping someone else, otherwise you can get fined for not helping. Anboyce88 (the UK): I have seen an old fellow fall down in the cold winter in Harbin I couldn“t get him up on my own (he was a big guy) and I screamed at the passers-by who took out their phones
21、to take videos of “a white boy helping an old Chinese man“. First time I swore at the Chinese. After a good bit of abuse from me, I persuaded them into helping me. Afterwards they all started telling me I shouldn“t be helping random strangers as he could be a con artist, then I replied : He could ju
22、st be an old man who fell down in the winter, couldn“t get up on his own and died. I will take the risk. Foreignchinese (Malaysia): It happens but not all the time. I once helped a guy groaning in pain underneath his bike. He crashed under the rear of a taxi. The driver went off and the bike guy was
23、 left alone in the middle of the street. Two weeks“ later, he wanted to thank me for my assistance. I had already gone home. Definitely no MsLong (the US): Why would I do that? How do I know if he is injured because of gang violence or what so ever? If I don“t know him then I don“t care about him. T
24、he most I would do is to call the police for suspicion. He/She got himself/herself injured. Nobody hurts him/her for no reason. （分数：16.50）_3.题目要求：Some experts suggest imposing a tax on pet owners in order to make our cities cleaner but others are against it. Do you think it“s OK to impose annual tax
25、 on pet owners? The following are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the opinions from different sides; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency
26、, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Pet owners Mixamixa (Finland): Although some pet owners cannot take good care of their pets and remove their waste, it is not fair to force all pet owners to pay for some owners who don“t obe
27、y the rules. Sikaote (China): Now many people regard their pets as their family members, especially the seniors who don“t live with their children. For the seniors who are poor, the tax will significantly increase their financial burden and may make their life lonelier because they may lose their on
28、ly friend. Non-pet owners Msrong (the US): Some foreign countries have already levied annual tax on pet owners and I think we can learn from them. One of the most important reasons for doing so is that the previous efforts to get pets registered or the awareness campaigns have not been effective to
29、make pet owners clean their pets“ waste. BlondeAmber (Ireland): Raising pets does bring the pet owners quite a lot benefits. Nevertheless, when it comes to the public interest, we have to say it will lead to more problems. Domestic dogs have posed a threat to morning and evening walkers as most of t
30、he time they are more dangerous than stray dogs and it is reported that about 80,000 people are beaten by dogs or cats in Wuhan each year. Imposing pet tax can curb the increasing number of the cases involving dog attacks and reduce the amount of pets“ waste. Teamkrejados (the US): The money raised
31、by the planned tax would be spent on patrols to ensure that pet owners abide by the legislation and clean up the pets“ waste. It is a good way to make our city much cleaner. Alexzhou (China): I think we should take measures similar to the limitation on buying private cars. They can rule that the tax
32、 will be levied on those pet owners who have more than one or two pets. For those who only have one, they can be exempted from paying the tax. Authorities Chiyomatsu (a Mayor in Japan): What is the most important is that our city will become cleaner. A crackdown is to go into force immediately and o
33、perate in tandem with a campaign to raise the awareness of the importance of owners removing their pets“ waste. If the awareness-raising campaign is not effective, I would like to introduce the tax. BNN News from Italy: According to the bill, the administration of any given city will be authorized t
34、o decide the amount of tax collected from eat and dog owners. According to the authors of this document, this will allow creating funds for the capture and housing of stray animals. Furthermore, it will also provide veterinary aid for stray animals, carrying out their census and cleating cemeteries.
35、 People who take in a eat or a dog from a state nursery will be relieved from paying this tax. According to the authors, city authorities will be able to use tax revenues to provide services for stray cats and dogs. （分数：16.50）_4.题目要求：The World Health Organization (WHO) said that processed meat such
36、as bacon, sausage and ham may be carcinogenic. Do you still dare eat cancer-linked processed meat? The following are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the opinions from different sides; 2.
37、give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Meat lovers Teamkrejados (the US): Is meat really as bad as smoking? I don“t think so. According to the WHO,
38、 34,000 people die worldwide per year because they eat processed meat. In 2012, 8.2 million people died of cancer worldwide. That means if you eat a lot of processed meat you have a chance of being among the 0.41 percent of people dying of cancer because of processed meat. I“ll take the chance. Sely
39、 (Australia): I“d rather live a short, pleasant life than a long, miserable one, denying myself tasty food just because some experts say it“s not healthy. We should all enjoy lifeif I had listened to every piece of health advice I would never go anywhere, eat anything or enjoy life in any way. So, I
40、 won“t change my habit. I am going to have a bacon sandwich, a glass of wine, a burger, or a can of coke, steak whenever I feel like it. Vegetarians Van (China): I“m a strong advocate of a vegan diet. Perhaps this report will prompt people to consider becoming vegans or vegetarians. So for your heal
41、th, the environment and future generations it is not difficult; it just involves a change of mindset. Life is as good, in fact better, and there is a vast variety of other delicious food available to enjoy. Moderate controllers Chert99 (France): Everything must be proper. The problem is not whether
42、we eat processed meat or not. It“s just about how much we eat. I like bacon very much. It“s pretty delicious. But I dislike sausages; it tastes terrible. So I“m going to continue to eat processed meat provided that it is delicious and I don“t eat too much. Because I want to keep fit. Cdogg (Switzerl
43、and): The WHO study is about moderation more than anything else. It doesn“t say that just one bite of meat causes cancer. It is rather saying that people should vary their diets (fish, poultry, etc.) and not overload with processed meat. People who eat more meat often have other unhealthy habits. Th
44、ey usually eat fewer fruits and vegetables and they also often exercise less. Exercise and plant foods can lower the risk of cancer. Bloke (the UK): The issue is not about whether or not to eat processed meat. It“s about how much and which. Bacon is amazingly delicious but those awful street sausage
45、s in China taste like plastic. If you“re going to eat processed meat, at least make sure it tastes good and don“t eat it too often. Jennie Pc Chiang (France): I never pick and choose food, because I had to fight with my brothers and sisters for food when I was little. We can only have meat recipes d
46、uring the holiday season. So, I do not eat too much meat. I cannot even complete half of McDonald“s hamburger. The question is if meat eaters are willing to give up their processed meat or red meat for their own health. （分数：16.50）_5.题目要求：In terms of attitudes to creativity there seems to be a revers
47、al of priorities: young Westerners making their boldest departures first and then gradually mastering the tradition; and young Chinese being almost inseparable from the tradition, but over time, possibly evolving to a point equally original. Which should go first, creativity or tradition? The follow
48、ing are opinions from two sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the opinions from both sides; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Chinese Lily: Solid and basic skills are the base of successful creativity. Only when one masters the basic skills of tradition well, can he go further and learn things
