7、Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. （分数：16.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 The line chart illustrates the consumption of energy in the United States from 1980 to present with the forecast up to 2030. All figures are in quadrillion units. Pe

8、trol and oil use fluctuated between 31 and 35 from 1980 to 1995. Then consumption rose rapidly to 41 in 2005, increasing to 49 in 2030. Use of coal was 16 in 1980 and is expected to almost double to 31 in 2030. There was a rise between 1990 and 1995 from 17 to 23. Consumption of natural gas fell fro

9、m 20 in 1980 to 17 in 1985. Following a slight rise, it increased from 18 in 1995 to 24 in 2000. After a slight fall, it is forecast to reach 25 in 2015 and remain there. Use of nuclear energy rose from 4 to 6 between 1980 and 1995, with a further increase from 6 to 8 in 2005. Another rise is expect

10、ed to 9 in 2030. Consumption of solar and wind power fluctuated between 3 and 5 from 1980 to 2010. This level is expected to remain until 2025 with a slight increase to 6 in 2030. Use of hydropower has similarly fluctuated between 3 and 5 between 1980 and 2010 and is projected to stabilise at 3 unti

11、l 2030. Overall, consumption of all kinds of energy has increased and is forecast to increase apart from hydropower which is forecast to remain the same.2.Each year several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the

12、 world. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? （分数：16.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 1语言的消失不是一个问题 In this essay, I shall explain why I agree with the suggestion that languages dying out are not a problem because life will be easier with fewer of them. All over the world, people spend a lot o

13、f time and a lot of money on learning languages. In addition, more money is spent by governments and organisations to prevent languages with relatively few speakers from dying out. This money could be better used on other projects such as health and science education. Alternatively, this money could

14、 still be directed at language learning, but especially at learning the languages that are spoken widely and by a relatively large proportion of the global population, like Arabic, Chinese and Hindi. If the number of languages is smaller, then there is a higher probability that two strangers meeting

15、 are likely to have a common language. Some people claim that the loss of languages means a loss of human culture. I am not sure whether this is true or not, but if people are worried that the loss of their language means the loss of their culture, then they can try to keep it alive by teaching thei

16、r children and other people. I would not deny them this right. However, they should not expect support from others. To summarise, it is clear to me that there is an advantage to having fewer languages. I am not in favour of forcing less commonly used languages to die out, but I do not think it shoul

17、d be a great concern to people who do not use them. 参考范文 2语言的消失不是一个问题 In this essay, I shall explain why I think that it is not a good thing when less commonly used languages die out. Obviously, having a common language that people can use when they meet and do not speak each others“ languages, as E

18、nglish is often used today, is a great idea. People from different countries and regions need to be able to communicate with each other, to do business or when they visit other countries as tourists, for example. Also, different countries and groups of people have different population levels. China

19、and India have massive populations, so it is obvious that there will be more Hindi and Mandarin speakers than those of most other languages. However, this does not mean that we should allow less commonly used languages to die out. Having fewer languages may be easier, but it also means that many gro

20、ups of people may lose most-or all-of their cultural identity. One way that people identify themselves as a group is through their language. We can see this in China, for example, where Chinese language and culture (as with almost all languages) are closely connected. However, it goes further. Withi

21、n China, people from Shanghai, for example, often like to use their own dialect-Shanghainese-which identifies them as a cultural group within China. Some Chinese people learn this dialect to help them do business in Shanghai. To conclude, I think that the loss of languages is a loss for humanity in

22、general, as it leads towards a situation where people have a more unified cultural identity.3.You are working for a company. You need to take some time off work and want to ask your manager about this. Write a letter to your manager. In your letter explain why you want to take time off work give det

23、ails of the amount of time you need suggest how your work could be covered while you are away （分数：16.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 Dear Mike, Yesterday I received an invitation from New Age Management to give a presentation on marketing techniques and I would like to ask you for a day off work to make this pre

24、sentation, which is scheduled for next Friday. Although my presentation would not last all day, I think I should be there for the whole day in order to have the opportunity to meet attendees. I have checked with my team and they are confident that they can cover my work for that day, especially as w

25、e are well ahead with the Ace Corporation project. Maggie can deal with my calls and any urgent emails whilst Barry is totally familiar with the ongoing project work. I am sure you will agree that making a presentation for New Age will raise our profile and is likely to bring us extra work, so I hop

26、e that you will agree to give me the day off. Best regards, David4.Being a celebrity-such as a famous film star or sports personality-brings problems as well as benefits. Do you think that being a celebrity brings more benefits or more problems? （分数：16.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 1很多益处 In this essay, I shall

27、 explain why I think that being a celebrity has more benefits than problems. The benefits of being a celebrity are clear. The most obvious, in my opinion, is that celebrity status usually means that you can make a lot of money. This, in turn, enables you to buy things like a nice home, car, clothes

28、and other items. Of course, these possessions are not everything in life, but they certainly help to make life a little easier. Furthermore, having money means that you can send your children to better schools and provide your family with access to better health care. Having celebrity status is also

29、 beneficial because it allows you to meet people of a higher social status, allowing you to experience more than most people. It is clear that being a celebrity is not always a good thing. I think many people would agree that one big disadvantage is that you lose quite a lot of your privacy by being

30、 well-known to other people. It might not bother you when a few fans ask for a signed photo, but it clearly annoys many celebrities when photographers and journalists follow their every move-and even follow the movements of family members. Recently, in Britain, some celebrities have complained about

31、 having their phone calls and messages hacked by people working for newspapers. To sum up, I can certainly see the disadvantages of being a celebrity, but I think that the benefits outweigh them. You can see this in the way that most celebrities are quite happy to be at public events where they are

32、photographed and interviewed. 参考范文 2很多问题 In this essay, I look at the benefits and problems of being a celebrity and say why I believe that the problems are generally greater than the benefits. Many people desperately want to be celebrities. You can see this in the way that people post various video

33、s of themselves on websites and in the popularity of “talent shows“ . However, once they become celebrities, they often find that life is not what they expected it to be. For one thing, they must constantly compete with others to make sure that they are the celebrity who is making the news headlines

34、 by appearing at the right events or even dating the right person. All of this must be very stressful and there have been many instances of celebrities becoming angry at people (sometimes justified, sometimes not) or of celebrities simply hiding from their celebrity status at a secret location. Of c

35、ourse, there are benefits. Most celebrities are reasonably wealthy. Though only a few are truly rich, most celebrities can afford the better things in life-not only for themselves, but for their families. This is something that most people desire. If you are the kind of person who likes glamour and

36、attending special events with only a selected guest list, being a celebrity is wonderful. Similarly, if you enjoy being the centre of attention, then celebrity status is an obvious thing to aspire to. To conclude, I think that, although there are many benefits to being a celebrity, the problems asso

37、ciated with celebrity status are greater. It“s just that some people don“t realise it until it is too late.5.On a recent holiday you lost a valuable item. Fortunately you have travel insurance to cover the cost of anything lost. Write a letter to the manager of your insurance company. In your letter

38、 describe the item you lost explain how you lost it tell the insurance company what you would like them to do （分数：16.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to you with regard to an insurance claim. My insurance policy reference is XYZ1234. I took out the policy on 16th October 2011. I wa

39、s staying at the Smithers Hotel in London on 25th February of this year when my laptop computer was stolen from my room (Room 501). I am enclosing a copy of the police report of the incident and a letter from the hotel manager, Mrs. Wilkins, in support of my claim. The stolen laptop was a Mini Micro

40、 X (black) and originally cost me $399 when I bought it last year. I am enclosing a receipt for the purchase. Although the thief has been caught and prosecuted by the police, the laptop has not been recovered and the police doubt that it will be. I hope that you will be able to accept my claim under

41、 the terms of the policy and can send me a cheque for the amount claimed. Yours faithfully, David Class6.Some people think that the teenage years are the happiest times of most people“s lives. Others think that adult life brings more happiness, in spite of greater responsibilities. Discuss both thes

42、e views and give your own opinion. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 1青少年时期最快乐 In this essay, I shall explain why I believe that the teenage years of our lives are the happiest ones. Some people think that the adult years of our lives are better than the teenage years, despite the fact that people have more

43、 responsibilities in their adult lives. Some people say this is because adults have more money to do the things that they want to do, whilst most teenagers have little money, unless they can get some from parents and other relatives. In addition, teenagers have some responsibilities. For example, th

44、ey are generally encouraged to do well at school, so they usually spend a lot of time on homework and preparation for exams. This means that many teenagers do not have much time to enjoy their teenage years. However, I disagree with this argument. Adults may have more money to do what they like, but

45、 very often they do not have much time to do these things. Often this is because of work pressure, but it is usually also partly due to the fact that they have families to take care of. Taking care of children is very time-consuming, especially when the children are young. Despite the fact that they

46、 have educational responsibilities, most teenagers are able to find plenty of time for their hobbies and activities that interest them. Most teenagers are able to find things to do that don“t cost them too much money. To sum up, I can see why some people might believe that the adult years of our lives are better than the teenage years, but I disagree. 参考范文 2成年时期最快乐 In this essay, I shall
