4、 of the Internet comes the cyber language, which arouses a bitter controversy. Experts denounce that cyber language is diluting the quality of Chinese language.

11、tle for your essay. 专业英语八级(作文)模拟试卷 24答案与解析 一、 PART VI WRITING (45 MIN) Directions: Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic. 1 【正确答案】 Practicality Is Not Universal While it is true we are living in an increasingly materialistic world, it doesnt mean that everything should be mea
12、sured by the standard of practicality. In my opinion, the Ministry of Educations decision on the existence of certain disciplines based on practical concerns is not only lop-sided but also potentially harmful to the society. First of all, enrollment and employment rates do not reflect faithfully the
13、 prospect of a certain discipline. A simple example can be drawn from the rise and fall of the discipline of Information Technology. About a decade ago, with the popularization of personal computers in China, the IT industry suddenly became a heat for students. Thousands of students rushed into IT d
14、epartments in the hope that they would secure a good job. However, the market soon saturated and in a few years time, both the enrollment and the employment rates of IT departments throughout China experienced a slump. Students who entered IT with high expectations were left jobless. Clearly, decidi
15、ng the life or death of a discipline merely by its present enrollment and employment is somewhat arbitrary. Therefore, as experts in education, officials in the Ministry of Education should be more prudent in making a decision. Secondly, abolishing unpopular disciplines such as social science becaus
16、e of the decreasing rates will not be beneficial to social development. The Ministry of Education appears shortsighted when it proposes to cancel disciplines like philosophy. Although science and engineering can produce immediate economic benefits, what matters after all is still the soft power of a
17、 country. The 20th century is called the century of America, not just because it is the richest country in the world, but more significantly because its culture touches every comer of the world. The promotion of American culture is a crucial factor in the rise of the America. If China is to secure i
18、ts position in the international arena, it will have to produce distinct culture and philosophies. The lack of specialists in social science will make China a literal “world factory“ without soul. For the sustainable development of the Chinese society, the Ministry of Education should come up with m
19、easures to thrive social science, rather than abolishing it. To sum up, to decide whether a discipline should continue to exist simply by considering its enrollment and employment numbers is thoughtless and narrow-minded. Students, who major in arts, might be disadvantaged players in the job market,
20、 but they will be the solid foundation and soft power of China as a whole. 【知识模块】 作文 2 【正确答案】 Dont Say “No“ to Cyber Language Do you happen to know the meaning of “3 Q“ (which means“thankyou“)? How about “shen ma“ (literally “god-horse“)? If not, you are considered outdated and outside the communica
21、tion circle. The popularity of cyber language, however, is not welcomed by the linguistic authorities, who vow to protect the purity of Chinese language. In my opinion, cyber language is not destroying the integrity of Chinese language, but spicing up the way people communicate with each other. For
22、one thing, cyber language entails vivid expressions which are more approachable. Young people are usually fed up with the frozen textbook language. It is not attractive or vivid, contributing little to the closer tiers of people in conversation. On the contrary, cyber language opens doors for strang
23、ers and helps its users to establish a bond. It is catchy, trendy and above all lively. Moreover, cyber language has its uniquely a-musing way to release the pent-up emotion in the society. There was a time when commodity price was soaring, thus Internet users coined a satirical expression “suan ni
24、hen“ which means “Fine, you got me! “ In Chinese, “suan“ is also the pronunciation of the word “garlic“, so people subsequently adopt this expression to mock the unaffordable garlic. In this regard, it is fair to say that cyber language is a worthy vehicle, through which public emotion could be shar
