5、re widely spread nowadays, traditional cultures still continue to dominate. There is no need to worry about whether our traditional culture will be lost. It is all important heritage of the whole human race, which will exist forever. First, traditional festivals remind us of the traditional culture.
6、 Our belief in the traditional culture gets ready to revive at any time. Moreover, we have taken active measures to conserve the traditional cultures on decline. Many volunteers have contributed themselves to studying and spreading them. Besides，more and more people have realized the importance of t
7、he traditional culture, and they begin to voluntarily protect it. Our culture changes itself to cater to people nowadays. We hold some modern activities to meet the society needs. Though the appearance of traditional cultures changes, the essence will never change. The information revolution, the de
8、velopment of mass media and the advanced technology have doubtlessly, influenced the traditional culture. People get so used to such a modern society that many traditional things have been neglected and abandoned. Therefore, I believe that the traditional culture will gradually get lost. First, the
9、traditional culture is hindering the development of new science which is beneficial to the whole society. In addition, the government spent a huge sum of money to rebuild or restore the ancient buildings just for commemoration, taking no account of practicability. Lastly, nowadays people prefer the
10、modern science and the advanced technology with the wholesome education system to the ancient ways, which speeds up the loss of the traditional culture. （分数：17.00）_3.Many people prefer to enjoy their money when they earn it.

13、you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on this issue. 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. Self-employed Working for som
14、eone else Nowadays more and more students choose to be self-employed after graduation. As far as I am concerned, I prefer to be self-employed. I can lead a more free-style life. I can do things on my own will. Moreover, I can decide how to do things; whereas those who are employed by others must do
15、things according to the instructions of their employers. I can allocate my time freely. Hence, if I am tired, I can rest in the daytime; if I am more energetic, I can work late at night, I have more freedom on the choice of work time than those who work for others. Self-employment makes me depend on
16、 myself. I have to push myself to learn more and to work harder. I am the master of myself. Being an employee, I have to be subject to discipline, and do things under the instructions of my boss, but thats just part of life. I would rather work for someone else than be self-employed. I just want to
17、lead a simple and regular life. When you work for yourself, you have to earn more money to end up with the same take-home paycheck youd get as a company employee. Thats much pressure for me. In addition, besides work, I can still have free time to do the things I enjoy doing, and dont need to think
18、about the work all the time. I dont like a complicated life. I havent much ambition either in my life or in my career. I dream of living an easy life, a regular lift with discipline, without much risk. （分数：16.50）_5.Should every student who study foreign language and culture spend a period of time st
19、udying and living in foreign country? This has been intensely discussed for years. The following are the supporters and opponents opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides
20、 and give your view on the issue. 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. YES NO When we study a foreign language, it is very effective for us to go to the country in
21、which the target language is spoken. In foreign country, we are sur- rounded by the language that we are learning, and we are forced to use it whether or not we want, so we can learn more rapidly and easily. In terms of culture, second hand experience is nowhere close to experiencing the culture in
22、the native environment. In foreign countries, we can hear different opinions from what we have heard before and have an opportunity to ask the natives questions that we en- counter in studies. Given that leaming abroad does yield benefits, the question of applicability seems to be neglected. Student
23、s, with diverse academic interests and disci- plines, might not need to get in touch with exotic cultures or acquire foreign languages to the extent of working on them in foreign countries. Most foreign languages and cul- tures coveted by students originate from developed countries where tuition and
24、 life expenses are relatively high, which may add to heavy financial burden on students. Its very common that many students studying abroad never desire to go back to devote their life and energy to their countries because they have been accustomed to the foreign ad- vanced technology and lifestyle.
25、 （分数：20.00）_6.Should the government control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease violent crimes in society? The following are the supporters and opponents opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your opinion in about 200 words, in which you s
26、hould first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on this issue. 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. Yes No Violence on screen does res
27、ult in more crimes in real life. For one thing, teenagers are good at imitating. The example that well illustrates this is the notorious campus gunshot case in the US. The criminal, a university student, who shot several of his teachers and classmates, confessed it was a violent movie that inspired
28、him to commit the crime. As the main mass media, TV and films are crucial to develop value systems and shape behaviors, especially to the young people. Due to the increasing amount of violence in mass media, teenagers personal values and attitudes towards life are affected. Lastly, too much media vi
29、olence makes people immune to the violence. They seem to regard it as a normal way to solve problems. Instead of inducing people to commit a crime, violence on TV helps them release the stress and thus reduces the chance for them to break the law at the same time. For example, an employee who was se
30、verely criticized by his boss at work may feel relieved when he returns home and sees a strong man being punched in his face on TV. Violence can give us an impression that society is not as safe as what we predicted, which makes us aware of the dangers around us and be cautious. For those who want t
31、o conquer others by violence, the violence in mass media can teach them a lesson that violence can bring both physical and mental hurt. （分数：16.50）_7.Read the following text(s) and write an essay to 1. summarize the main points of the text(s); 2. make clear your own viewpoint; 3. justify your stand.

33、nguage quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Everybody wants success. Some people aim for it; others just talk about it. We all know what it looks like when someone else has it. Often it just seems like something too far out of reach. The truth to success i
34、s closer than you think. Its just on the other side. You have to want it enough, and be willing enough to get it. Fear is your biggest obstacle, fear of failure; fear of the judgment of others; fear of actually succeeding. It wilt trip you up every time. It will cause you to make decisions that may
35、seem right at the time, but theyre preventing you from actually getting over that wall. Success has no excuses. You either get it or you dont. The minute you find a reason not to take another step towards success is the moment you stop being successful. In the symphony of success, excuses are just n
36、oise. On the one side of obstacles Everyone faces changes; different ones at different times. We all handle the same challenges differently; we all have different results. Its how you handle each one and what you do with the results that count. An obstacle is something you either find a way around o
37、r allow it to stop you. Remember, youve got to get passed obstacles in order to succeed. On the other side of failures Not everything works; even if it works for other people, the same thing just doesnt work for us. So what? Failure can either become an obstacle and an excuse or it can become your t
38、eacher in what not to do. It takes effort, commitment and follow through They call it a ladder of success for a reason. because you need to climb it in order to get some-where. Its not an escalator. You just dont stand there and let it do the work for you. You have to do the work by yourself. Someti
39、mes it will be easy, other times youll be carrying a heavy load on your shoulders. The ladder remains the same. Success still waits on the other side. Its going to take determination and persistence on your part to get up and get over that wall. （分数：20.00）_8.Read carefully the following excerpt on i

42、ian markets with China remaining Australias biggest market outside of New Zealand, the latest International Visitor Survey (IVS) showed.

43、tralias largest services export. The jobs of over 929,000 Australians are linked to tourism and the Coalition Government is committed to supporting tourism as a key job creation industry, Robb said.

44、 Chinese visitors increasing their expenditure in the Australian economy to 5.1 billion AU dollars (4.73 billion U.S. dollars), while we also remain very competitive in the challenging United States tourism market, he said. However, with the booming of such overseas tourism, visitor behaviours can h
45、ave a detrimental effect on the quality of life of the host community. For example, crowding and congestion, drugs and alcohol problems, prostitution and increased crime levels can occur. Tourism can even infringe on human rights, with locals being displaced from their land to make way for new hotel
