5、ory books is better for children than watching television or playing computer games. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2015-12-12)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： Reading is a vital skill for children to acquire as all information is available through either the written or spoken word. The ability to r

6、ead quickly and accurately in order to process information is the key to education at a higher level and through that to many jobs. Those who fail to learn to read are barred from most jobs. As a skill it needs constant practice. Stories demonstrate how ideas can progress towards the ending as well

7、as helping children to understand their cultural heritage. Non-fiction is also important, but, more often a reader will dip into a reference book to find what they need, whereas stories can be pure pleasure. It is vital that parents and teachers do everything possible to ensure that children read wi

8、dely and with confidence. Television too has its part to play in educating children. Children need to understand where the “off button is, and to be able to judge what to watch and when to switch off. There are programmes that show the natural worlds, landscapes, other cultures, music, sport, drama,

9、 dance and news from the world, all of which are important. On the other hand, there are programmes for pure fun, and some that are such rubbish one wonders who would watch. Parents have to ensure that children use the television well, in an active not passive way. Computer games cover a wide spectr

10、um. Some are challenging, demanding high levels of thinking and planning skills, whilst others are pure entertainment. The latter have value in that they encourage children to be at ease and proficient with such machines, and again, children have to learn to balance their time and not become addicte

11、d. Reading, television and computers all have an important role to play in modern life. Specifically, reading stories is not vital; reading is. Computer literacy is important, not necessarily playing computer games, and although television has many advantages, it could be argued that reading stories

12、 is the best use of time.)解析：3.Some people think that cultural traditions are destroyed as they are used as money-making attractions aimed at tourists. Other people believe that it is the only way for such traditions to be saved in the world today. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. (2015

13、-12-19)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： Cultural traditions as a term covers a huge range of events that are enjoyed by many people, including tourists. Many local events have their origins in the very distant past. In Derbyshire there is a unique tradition of well dressing, decorating the village wells with p

14、ictures made of leaves and flower petals pushed into clay, and then having the clergy bless the wells. It is thought to date from pre-Christian times. Originally the custom survived in a few villages, but it attracts tourists, and others have taken it up. Proceeds go to local charities. A similar th

15、ing has happened to Morris dancing. No-one knows when it originated and it is thought that some, like the Abbots Bromley horn dance, go back to the Bronze Age, 5000 years ago. In cases like these, local people do it out of interest, and money is raised for local charities. If tourists come and contr

16、ibute, they are welcome, but it is not done for their benefit. Other traditions attract more tourists, probably because they take place in towns and cities where tourists visit more frequently. In London, for example, the Guard is changed several times a day in a ceremonial way, and tourists flock t

17、o see it. There is no charge. Such ceremonies take place at Army bases up and down the country . with no spectators . The Queen opens Parliament, travelling in a golden coach, wearing a crown, in the way that monarchs have opened Parliament for hundreds of years. London has other events like the Tha

18、mes Watermens race and swan-upping when they count the swans, but they all date back hundreds of years. They all form part of the attraction of the city, but they serve a purpose. It could be said that tourism encourages the continuation of such ceremonies. The Guard could be mounted by soldiers wea

19、ring combats. The Queen could open Parliament conveyed in a car, but I think too many people still like things to be done in the traditional way, and whilst tourism is very important, it is not what sustains these traditions. People have pride in traditions and the community spirit they represent; m

20、oney doesnt really come into the argument.)解析：4.Differences between countries are becoming less evident recently. People can see the same films, brands, fashion, advertisements and TV channels. Do the disadvantages of this development outweigh the advantages? (2016-01-09A)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： The w

21、orld today is experiencing globalisation, and more and more interdependence. Technology makes it possible for culture to be shared in a way that could not have been achieved even a few years ago. The advantages of this far outweigh the disadvantages. Much of this sharing of culture depends on the us

22、e of English, which so many people in the world learn as a second language, although the use of subtitles mitigates this. A possible disadvantage is that smaller countries film industries, for example, might find it difficult to compete against the better endowed bigger companies. There is also a di

23、sadvantage that the culture of smaller communities is lost. Making people in disadvantaged parts of the world more aware of the differences between their lifestyle and that of those in richer countries can lead to discontent and economic migration, depriving those countries of the best of their popu

24、lation, as those who are able to move for a better life. However, the advantages of such cultural exchange are considerable. People can understand different customs better, and know what to expect if they travel or meet people from other countries. It is easier to share expertise in all sorts of way

25、s. An excellent example of this is the way that London theatres and the Royal Opera House film and transmit performances live to cinemas all over the world, making top class theatre or opera available, with subtitles in non-English speaking countries. The more people meet, understand each other, and

26、 realise that all human beings are essentially interested in having a comfortable secure life, the less the chance of catastrophic wars. Easier travel and better communications, with the sharing of the things we are all interested in, help to achieve better relations. At the same time, we should cel

27、ebrate and share our differences. Wales is a small country, part of the United Kingdom. It has its own language and a strong tradition of choral singing. Huge efforts have been made to preserve that language, and the male voice choirs delight audiences all over the world. We must embrace technology,

28、 share and celebrate what we have, acknowledging difference and enjoying similarities.)解析：5.Some people think the government should invest more money in teaching science than other subjects for a country to develop and progress. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2016-01-09B)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正

29、确答案： The debate about what to include in the curriculum and how much money should be spent on is non-ending and reaches as far back as history allows. Most educators would argue for a broad and balanced curriculum that includes the native language and at least one other, mathematics, science, the hu

30、manities and the arts as well as physical activity, at least for the duration of compulsory schooling. There is never enough money; there is always something more that could be included and decisions have to be made. Some subjects simply cost more, and science subjects are high on the list. If stude

31、nts are to be able to use laboratories and conduct experiments, the costs are considerable, so more investment is needed at school level. Undergraduate and postgraduate studies cost even more. Much of the progress and development in our world depends on science: health, food supplies, communications

32、, building safety and transport to name a few. On the other hand, science is only useful if applied for the benefit of humankind, and in the thrust for progress it is vital that the role of humanities is acknowledged. Our history and culture makes us what we are. Cultural activities, such as music,

33、art, dance and drama, all enrich our lives, and yet training people and encouraging creativity, which are also important, are also expensive. Musical instruments are expensive and training is time-consuming, for example. Science might need more money than other individual subjects if it is to be tau

34、ght effectively, but a scientifically educated population with no humanity, no knowledge of its history, no moral standards, no culture nor cultural development will be a most unpleasant society. Governments must support a well-rounded, balanced education, encouraging and supporting science but not exclusively to the detriment of the rest of the curriculum.)解析：
