It has a population of about two million. It doesnt have

7、 many historic sites, but there are places of interest within an hours travel of the city, such as monasteries, burial sites and places of natural beauty like gorges and mountains. The city itself has a lot of industry, so its not a very clean place to live. The facilities and services there are pre

8、tty good- not as good as in Beijing or Shanghai, but not bad. I think that the most interesting part of the city is the remains of the old city wall. Most of the wall was demolished to make way for new homes and offices, but part was preserved. Most of the year, there are cafes on top of it, so you

9、can sit there and have a drink and a snack whilst enjoying views of the city. I would like to make my city a bit more colourful. At the moment, most of the buildings are grey and I think that they would look much better if they were different colours. I think that the colourful buildings might make

10、people feel better about their city. Holidays I only have the time to go on holiday once a year. I go to visit my grandparents in their village in Yunnan. Its very nice there- peaceful, clean air, relaxing. Both my mothers parents and my fathers parents were born there and have lived there all their

11、 lives. My parents left soon after getting married. I usually go with my parents, but sometimes one of them or both of them have to work. Whilst on holiday, I like to go hiking in the hills or chat with my grandparents or read a book. Well, its a village not far from Kunming. That means that it is p

12、eaceful but quite easy to get to by bus. There are no major tourist attractions in the vicinity- just beautiful scenery. The people there are mostly farmers. I would like to go to Kenya in East Africa on a safari. I love watching TV documentaries about wild animals and would love to see lions, eleph

13、ants, giraffes and other animals in the flesh. Id spend the days diving around in a jeep watching the animals and taking photographs of them. In the evening, Id chat with the locals or read in my tent. Languages I read an article on the Internet that over a hundred million foreign people are learnin

14、g Chinese. I think that Chinese is becoming a very useful language because of the increasing amount of trade between China and the rest of the world. This trade is sure to increase further in the future. Although Chinese companies that do business abroad almost always have people who speak English o

15、r other foreign languages, companies in other countries realise that they also need people who speak Chinese. Many foreigners also come to China to study Chinese. There are several universities here that offer both short and extended courses. Of course, studying in China means that students can use

16、the language outside the classroom, increasing the rate at which they learn. I think Chinese is becoming increasingly important, particularly in Asia. It is not as important as English, but it is certainly as important as Japanese or Korean. Most Asian languages, including Chinese, arc very difficul

17、t to write, so I dont think that any of them will be able to compete with English on a global scale. I have been studying English for 8 years. I began at secondary school and continued at university. Many Chinese children learn English at secondary school and some learn it at primary school, especia

18、lly in the cities. In the countryside, there are fewer English teachers, so not everyone learns it. No. I think that Chinese grammar and pronunciation is easier, but reading and writing in English is easier. Chinese grammar is much simpler than English grammar-there are fewer tenses and structures t

19、o learn. I dont speak any other languages. No other languages were on offer at my secondary school and by the time I got to university, I wasnt really interested in learning any other languages. Only a minority of Chinese students learn a second foreign language. 2 【正确答案】 I would like to be a photog

20、rapher. I would love to be employed by a magazine or newspaper to go around the world capturing images of life in faraway places. I would focus on taking photographs of animals and scenery rather than of people. I think that a lot of people want to have a job like this, so I doubt I will ever get th

21、is kind of job. It requires a good eye for a picture. I mean, nowadays anyone can take a decent picture, but taking a really good one is more difficult. A photographer also needs to be willing and able to travel, often at short notice. They also have to be good at meeting deadlines, especially if th

22、ey work for newspapers. I think that would put a lot of strain on my personal life. I think that there are two ways of getting a job like this. The first is to study photography and get a formal qualification. The second is to take photographs in your free time and send them to various publications

23、in the hope that they think you are talented enough and offer you a job. 3 【正确答案】 Education is becoming a big industry in China, particularly anything to do with languages and technical subjects. As a result, there will be a big demand for teachers. A lot of young people nowadays want to work in fin

24、ance and management. There are plenty of opportunities in these fields, but many of them require a lot of experience, so there arent enough suitably qualified people to fill those positions. I think that another growth area will be in logistics. As the economy develops, trade will grow-not only inte

25、rnational trade, but also internal trade. There will be a need for people who can ensure that goods are transported quickly and efficiently. As demand for such jobs increases, higher salaries should be offered, making them more attractive for people. Sometimes, but not always. Some top businesspeopl

26、e are extremely well paid. This partly reflects the fact that they are responsible for making decisions that affect thousands of people. On the other hand, some people do skilled and important jobs, but are badly paid, such as nurses. In fact, in China many doctors are badly paid too. This can cause

27、 problems if those people decide that they can get better paid jobs abroad. Apart from the importance of the job, there is the education and experience that are needed to do the job well. Thats why people who have been to university can reasonably expect to make more money than those who have not an

28、d why people who have been doing a job for a long time are generally paid more than those who are new to it. Nowadays, an increasing number of people are paid an annual bonus according to their productivity or according to the overall performance of the company they work for. I think that some young

29、 people go for a higher salary, regardless of whether the job is one that they really want to do or not. Making a large salary is a big status symbol in modem China. Other people choose to take a particular career path because it offers greater job security. Thats why many young people are happy to

30、take lower paying jobs in the civil service rather than higher paying jobs in the private sector which are less secure. Other people choose a job because it is connected with an interest that they have. My answer to this question is related to what I said in part two. I would like to run a small bus

31、iness that supplied photographs to newspapers and magazines. The publication would call and say that they needed a particular photo and I would search through my database and provide them with a suitable picture. If my business grew, I would probably need a couple of people to help me. I would choose people who were interested in photography and who knew how to modify photographs using computer programmes.
