You should supply an appropriate title for your essay. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 Kindergartens Need a Touch of MasculinitySpeaking of kindergarten teachers,

11、people commonly think about tender female ones who take care of children like a mother. However, recently male kindergarten teachers are getting increasingly popular in China. As far as I am concerned, the popularity of male kindergarten teachers is a good sign that helps to better the comprehensive

12、 education in kindergartens and that reflects the trend of gender equality. First and foremost, having male teachers in kindergartens is beneficial to the comprehensive education of children. While it is undeniable that females make very good kindergarten teachers since they are patient, loving and

13、good at taking care of children, male teachers add more masculine features to kindergarten education as a whole. For example, male teachers are better at outdoor activities and physical education. Unlike female teachers who are usually better at arts and music, male teachers can teach children baske

14、tball, football and Tai Chi, sports that are apparently helpful to both the physical and psychological development of children. Research has shown that male teachers are much loved by children because of their outgoing and extrovert personality. Furthermore, male teachers can also teach children to

15、be stronger and tougher when faced with problems. In a word, male teachers serve as a very good complementation of female teachers and help to better the education quality of kindergartens in general. Secondly, hiring male teachers in kindergartens also reflects the trend of gender equality. One imp

16、ortant feature of social development is that people are no longer supposed to be confined to particular career choices because of their genders. For instance, women can join the police or become a fire fighter, jobs traditionally taken by men. According to a recent survey, however, the male-female r

17、atio of teachers in kindergartens is still highly imbalanced: in every 100 kindergarten teachers, only 5 are male. Under this circumstance, hiring more male teachers helps to establish a sense of gender equality for children at an early age. By having both male and female teachers, children would re

18、alize that one can take the job he or she loves, regardless of the gender. To conclude, having male teachers in kindergartens is beneficial not only because it helps to build a comprehensive kindergarten education with unique male qualities and personalities, but also because it helps to promote the

19、 concept of gender equality. 本题属于“现象解释型”论说文，涉及的题材是“文化教育”。该题要求考生就“幼儿园是否应聘用男教师”做出阐释。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 主体：分两方面阐述。 1幼儿园聘用男教师有利于对孩子的全面教育。男教师能够为幼儿园教育带来更多的男性特质。他们可以教孩子运动，对孩子的生理和心理成长都有好处。调查也发现孩子们喜欢男教师，因为他们活跃外向。 2聘用男教师还反映了性别平等的趋势。调查显示，幼儿园教师的男女比例依旧非常不平衡。在这种情况下，幼儿园聘用更多的男教师能够帮助孩子们在早期就建立性别平等的意识。 结尾：重申上述两方面的观点。2.C

20、elebrating Western Festivals?是否该庆祝西方节日? Chinese are no longer strangers to Western Festivals. Many Chinese people now celebrate the Valentine“s Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas and even Halloween. Some people think it is absurd for Chinese to observe these Western Festivals. Do you agree that we sho

21、uld discourage Chinese to celebrate Western Festivals? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 On Celebrating Western FestivalsAs our life is increasingly globalized, it is no wonder to see that Chinese celebrate both traditio

22、nal festivals and some of the western ones. Despite the legitimate skepticism of celebrating foreign holidays, we should not discourage Chinese to do so. To begin with, Chinese, by observing western holidays, are looking for more reasons to do something special. For instance, people sending out “tha

23、nk-you“ SMS messages on Thanksgiving Day are trying to express their gratitude to those who have helped them. Those who present a bouquet of red roses to their girl friends on Valentine“s Day are seizing another chance to assert their love and commitment. We should not make a fuss and balloon these

24、behaviors into conspiracy, claiming that western ideas are threatening Chinese ones. I am sure on Qixi Festival, or better known as the Chinese Valentine“s Day, lovers will be no less committed and romantic to their partners. If people are looking for more opportunities to be grateful, happy and lov

25、ed, we certainly should not be the buzz killers. Furthermore, western festivals are another occasion to boost sales and promote consumption. As China is restructuring its economy, domestic consumption is yet to be spurred. In this context, western festivals are a good reason for people to spend. It

26、is a common practice in China that on festivals, Chinese or Western, many department stores and shopping malls will go on sales campaigns, which attract the customer traffic and drive business. If western festivals are discouraged, the consumption industry will lose some of the catalysts to stimulat

27、e people to consume. While I extol the benefits of Observing western festivals, I am not saying that we should do it without knowing the essence of the festivals. Each festival is a cultural and historical lesson for us to learn. That is why mass media should give full play to its function of inform

28、ing the public. For example, on Halloween, mass media could briefly talk about its origin and development. Better still, the comparison between Halloween and Chinese ghost festival could be made in the Internet or newspapers. In this way, Chinese will become truly global citizens, who understand and

29、 respect the diversified cultures in the world. To conclude, we should not discourage Chinese to celebrate Western Festivals. Instead, we should allow people more chances to have a festive mood and to contribute to the domestic consumption. With the help of mass media, observing western festivals co

30、uld be a step forward to a tolerant nation, which embraces cultural diversities. 本题属于“支持与反对型”论说文，涉及的题材是“文化教育”。该题要求考生就“是否应不鼓励国人庆祝西方节日”发表个人的看法。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：按题目要求提出个人观点：不赞成此提议。 主体：分三方面阐述。 1庆祝西方节日只是国人找机会做点特别的事。举感恩节和情人节的例子。中国的节日和西方的节日都各有特色。 2庆祝西方的节日可以促进消费。中国在经济转型，如果人们能有更多机会消费，可以促进我们的内需。3国人庆祝西方节日不能

31、不谙节日的内涵。建议传媒在国人庆祝西方节日的时候做一点常识的普及工作，也可以比较中西节日的异同，使围人能成为真正的世界公民。 结尾：重申观点，我们不应该打消国人过西方的节日的想法。3.How to Save Physical Bookstores?如何拯救实体书店? The popularity of online bookstores is threatening the survival of many privately run bookshops in China. It is a fact beyond disputes that bookstores are losing thei

32、r customers to online ones. As a college student, what measures would you recommend to “save physical bookstores? Write an essay of about 400 words on the following topic: How to Save Physical Bookstores?（分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 How to Save Physical Bookstores?Bookstores are dying: with rapid develop

33、ment of more convenient online bookstores, a lot of physical bookstores are forced to go out of business because less and less people are willing to buy books in physical bookstores. Under such circumstance, people are discussing how to save endangered bookstores. As far as I am concerned, being che

34、aper and being unique are two key points in the revitalization of physical bookstores. First of all, in order to survive in the competition with online bookstores, physical ones have to control their price of books. A very important reason why people choose to buy books online is that they can save

35、a lot of money that way. Typically, online bookstores offer discounts of up to 40%, while physical ones give very few or even no discounts at all. Apparently one would not want to spend more money on the exactly same book. Therefore, in order for physical bookstores to survive, adjusting the pricing

36、 of books should be the first step. Physical bookstores should consider attracting more customers by giving special offers mid membership discounts. They should perhaps also cooperate with publishers to get lower prices for some books. In this way, customers would at least be more willing to step in

37、to a bookstore. Secondly, physical bookstores should also be more unique to lure customers. Online bookstores are usually, very huge, and people have to browse through pages of book descriptions to get what they want. The edge of physical bookstores is that the books they sell are immediately tangib

38、le. People can touch them, hold them and even read them before they decide to buy them. Physical bookstores should take advantage of this. They can have a display of selected books of the same genre for people to read. They can provide reading areas for customers. They can even set up in-store caf.

39、In that way physical bookstores would not only be selling books; they would also be selling a culture of reading, an atmosphere in which people can calm down, sit back and reflect on their own lives. It would be a unique experience which online bookstores cannot offer. To conclude, in order to survi

40、ve, physical bookstores should control the price of books and take advantage of their unique features. Traditional bookstores would definitely be loved if they provide cheaper books and fine reading atmosphere. 本题属于“现象解释型”论说文，涉及的题材是“文化教育”。该题要求考生就如何拯救实体书店做出阐释。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：由实体书店受到网上书店的冲击入题，提出两个

41、策略拯救实体书店：价格及风格。 主体：分两方面阐述。 1实体书店必须控制售价。比较网上书店与实体书店的售价区别；指出实体书店应该与出版商合作搞促销活动，或给自己的会员多打折扣。 2为了吸引顾客，实体书店也可以做得更有特色。实体书店卖的不仅仅是书，更是一种阅读的文化，要营造一种氛围让人们冷静下来反思自己的生活。 结尾：重申在价格和特色这两方面着力，去拯救实体书店。4.Quality-oriented Education or Test-oriented Education?素质教育还是应试教育? There is a growing tendency that most people are i

42、nclined to judge the quality of school education by referring to the students“ test scores and proportion of students entering higher school. As a result, most schools are more willing to lay emphasis on developing students“ test skills, rather than students“ personality and characters. Some people

43、observe that when test-oriented education is in conflicts with quality-oriented education, the latter one will be scarified. What is your opinion? Should schools resort to test-oriented education to improve the promotion rate? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title

44、 for your essay. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 Test-oriented Education: Big NO!Although the concept of “quality-oriented education“ has existed in China for more than a decade, the essence of it never seems to be understood or implemented. The recent incident happened in Yishui County “in Shandong Provinc

45、e, where educators rush back to test-oriented education as soon as promotion rate falls, proves the difficulties quality-oriented education faces. As far as I am concerned, resorting to test-oriented education to improve the promotion rate neglects the essentials of education and would lead to the d

46、ecay of education in China as a whole. First and foremost, test-oriented education counters with the essence of education. It is now universally accepted that the goal of education is cultivating people in order to make them well-informed, critical and rounded. In other words, education should help

47、to foster better persons, not better scores. Test scores, however, only tells how well or badly students do in one single test. Although such scores are necessary for efficient evaluation, it is clear that too much emphasis on this highly partial and unreliable criterion won“t help to achieve the real goal of education. Educators should try to strike a balance between quality-orie
