5、 the elderly proportion of the population is increasing steadily. Does this trend have positive or negative effects on society?（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： In recent decades, people are living much longer than ever before; therefore, the number of the elderly is increasing steadily in many countries. Gener

6、ally, I think it is more a blessing than a curse for modern society. Some people may argue that old people are not physically strong enough, so a larger proportion of old people might lead to a less energetic development of society. However, modern sciences and technologies have enabled the old to m

7、eet the challenges of modem life. For example, in the past, people who were aged over sixty were likely to be rather fragile in physical condition. But today, most senior citizens are in good health, and many of them still engage in many activities in life due to medical innovations and scientific e

8、xercises, thus, nowadays age does not necessarily result in a lack of energy and high spirits. Some others may argue that young people might be deprived of their opportunities to develop their abilities as more old people could mean that they have more chances to occupy essential social positions. B

9、ut they are oversimplifying the situation. For instance, enterprises, as profit-oriented bodies, will always decide the recruiting and promoting of employees according to their strengths and abilities, if the young are not offered the chances, it usually proves that they are not as capable as elder

10、generations. As a matter of fact, there are quite a few jobs that are especially suitable for old peoplejobs that call for more experience than physical power. And more importantly, the information era has attached great importance to experience and intelligence compared to the past. Hence, old peop

11、le are qualified to contribute much more to the society at present time. In summary, I am quite optimistic about the future of the so called “ageing society“, which presents us with at least equal chances as challenges, if not more.)解析：3.The position of women in society has changed markedly in the l

12、ast twenty years. Many of the problems young people now experience, such as juvenile delinquency, arise from the fact that many married women now work and are not at home to care for their children. To what extent do you agree or disagree?（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： It is certainly true that the position

13、of women in society has undergone a dramatic change in the past twenty years but I do not feel that this is a direct cause of the indisputable increase in juvenile-related problems during this period. It is now accepted that young women should find work on leaving school; indeed to rely totally on t

14、heir parents financial support is no longer an option in many families. Likewise, once they get married, the majority of women continue working since the financial pressure of setting up a house and establishing a reasonable standard of living often requires two incomes. Twenty years ago, it was com

15、mon for women to give up work once they had children and devote their time to caring for their children. This is no longer the general rule and the provision of professionally-run child care facilities and day nurseries have removed much of the responsibility for child rearing that used to fall to m

16、others. However, these facilities come at a cost and often require two salaries coming into a family to be afforded. I do not believe that the increase in the number of working mothers has resulted in children being brought up less well than previously. Indeed, it could be argued that by giving moth

17、ers the opportunity to work and earn extra money, children can be better provided for than previously. There is more money for luxuries and holidays and a more secure family life is possible. Of course, there are limits as to the amount of time that ideally should be spent away from home and the ide

18、al scenario would be for one of the parents (often the wife) to have a part-time job and thus be available for their children before and after school. It is important to establish the correct balance between family life and working life.)解析：4.Food can be produced more cheaply nowadays with improved

19、fertilisers and better machinery. However, some methods may be dangerous to human health, and have negative effects on local communities. What is your opinion on the issue?（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： Today, advanced technology is increasingly applied to food production so we can produce food more cheaply

20、in larger quantities and wider ranges than ever before. The number of starving people in the world has been dramatically reduced over recent decades, and a wider variety of food can reach the common household. These obvious benefits cannot be denied. Despite all these merits, it is believed that som

21、e of the methods used in food production are dangerous for consumers health. For instance, the wide use of some chemical fertilisers and pesticides, though increasing productivity, also threatens peoples health because some chemicals will remain in the food and be detrimental to ones fitness. Anothe

22、r disadvantage is the potential impact on local communities. For example, as a result of the wide use of modern machinery and advanced farming techniques requiring less manpower, many people have moved from rural communities to urban areas to find work, destroying rural communities that have existed

23、 for generations. Also, people are worried about the genetically modified foods that are becoming available. Although most scientists agree that they are safe to be part of our diet, the fact is that there might be unknown long term effects of consuming them. To conclude, I think that some methods i

24、nvolving modern technologies are indeed harmful to both human health and local communities. But that is not to say that we should return to a barbarian lifestyle. Rather, practical solutions should be worked out to maximise the benefits of farming technology and to minimise its side effects.)解析：5.In

25、 many less-developed countries, the gap in the standard of living between the city and countryside is very large. What are the reasons? How could the gap be reduced?（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： Many developing countries are experiencing a wide difference in living standards between the cities and the rural

26、 areas. In this essay, I shall look at two reasons why this is happening and how the gap might be made smaller. One reason that cities are much more developed than rural areas in less developed countries is that the governments have focused on making the cities look good for investment. In China, fo

27、r example, the government has clearly focused on making Beijing and Shanghai particularly attractive to outside investment. This strategy has clearly worked, but also results in a great disparity in living standards. Another reason is that the level of education in cities in less developed countries

28、 is generally much higher than that in rural areas. Better teachers usually prefer to be where the living standards are better and this leads to a situation where the schools in the countryside gradually fall further and further behind. In addition, the schools in cities tend to be better equipped a

29、nd the students also have access to more and better information. For example, in China, it is normal for students to have access to computers in cities, but not so common in the countryside. There are several ways in which the gap could be reduced. Some suggest having teachers from the cities go to

30、work in the countryside for a while. However, I think that more investment in rural schools would be more appropriate, as this would allow school and teachers from rural areas to develop more independently. As for the issue of investment, if the government made it more advantageous for companies to

31、locate in rural areas, perhaps through taxation and/or better infrastructure, it would provide more opportunities for those areas to catch up with the cities. To summarise, there are many reasons why the living standards in rural and urban areas differ so much in developing countries and the government has a range of responsibilities for reducing this gap.)解析：
