第二套

Task 1

Describe an important decision that you have made. Include details in your answer.

参考回答：

The most important decision in my life I guess is going to America in the future for further study.

It’s important because this decision actually decides what my future would be. Instead of spending my 4-year college life here in my home country, I will step onto an unfamiliar land and experience different culture. It will be wonderful, as well as challenging.  

Besides, this decision also means I need to work harder, prepare many things, be persevering and have an international view. You know, going abroad is not as easy as finding a work in hometown.

I do not like a boring life, on the contrary I hope my life can be full of challenge and exciting.

Task 2

Do you agree or disagree that high school students should learn music and art.

参考回答：

I agree that high school students should learn music and art at school.

The first reason is that music and art are just as vital to an individual's education and well being as other subjects. Performing and visual arts are put into school to help broaden our beings and show us culture. Dancing, singing, acting and writing, these are all outlets for us to express ourselves and connect with others.

Another thing is have the art class being removed from high school, it will cause the lack of uniqueness and creativity among many students. As a society, we need artists, journalist, actors, actress and musicians. One of the only ways for these people still exit is through what they are exposed to during school.

Task 1

Explain what makes a good teacher. Use details to support your answer.

参考答案：

As far as I am concerned, a good teacher should have the following qualities: confident, kind and patient enough. The teacher should be confident both of himself and his students. Every time he walks in the classroom, he should bring a strong feeling of authority, and makes his students feel a definite sense of trust. And the teachers should be kind to his students. If a teacher is too strict, his students would be afraid to ask questions, and that will decrease the efficiency of their study. In addition, a good teacher should never lose their patience in class when students ask questions repeatedly. Most of all, a good teacher should update his knowledge cuz further learning can make a good teacher re-discover the beauty of the teaching profession.

First, try to learn the language as quick as you can. It’s more than just studying here; we are talking about living in a whole new country and culture. You have to have the language to help make the process go smoothly. Taste and experience what the natives are enjoying, like to try out a few local cuisines.

Another tip I would give out is that never feel shy to ask for help. The Chinese has also been praised for warm-heart and hospitality. So if you are facing difficulties or caught in a bad situation, speak up and ask for a favor, the locals here is more than happy to give you a hand.

第十二套

Task1

What kind of food do you recommend to add to the food menu of the campus cafeteria?

参考回答：

As far as I’m concerned, I would strongly recommend is pizza. There are several reasons to name.
To begin with, I believe that an increasing number of students desire to taste the real pizza. Take me as an example, just the thought of the palatable taste of the hot, creamy cheese brings water to my mouth.
The second reason is that pizza can help students understand the foreign culture. It is known that pizza is one common type of food for Americans, so students especially those who want to study abroad, adding pizza to the food menu can help them get to know American life earlier.

Task 2

Some people like to buy new but expensive books while others prefer to buy old but cheap ones. Which one would you prefer?

参考答案：

As far as I’m concerned, I prefer to buy old but cheap ones.

The most important reason is that we should protect our environment. As we all know that books are made of paper and paper comes from trees. The more paper books we have, the more trees are going to be cut down. Using old books is actually a way to decrease the usage of paper.

The second reason is that I’m really poor. I don’t have enough money to buy new fancy boos. Usually an old book will only cost less than a half of the original price.

第十三套

Task 2

Should government spend money on encouraging citizens to lead a healthy lifestyle?

参考答案：

I definitely think that government should spend this money. Firstly, it’s essential for citizens to have a healthy life style, especially for the old. Now there are more and more old people in the society, so it is a big issue for the government to care for the aging people. But if they keep a healthy life style, the government will save a lot of efforts and money. What’s more, if the citizens have a healthy life style, all the works will be done more efficiently. It shows that 34% people who have a lower efficiency is due to their bad health.

2. a better academic atmosphere for the children grow up.

参考回答：

I prefer to live close to school. It has quite a few advantages to live around the campus. You can go the gym to do different sports, like play basketball, badminton, squash, etc. If you need to check some information or knowledge you want to know, you can always have access to the university library. And to my knowledge, the registration fees for university gym and libraries are very reasonable. Also, a walk in the campus after dinner feels so good and relaxing after a whole day's work and study. For all these benefits, I would like to live around campus.

读短文，然后听听力总结；短文内容是说现在的Modern literature课越来越popular，有些大学就采取了两个方法让更多的同学enroll。方法一：把小教室换成大教室；方法二，把课时加到晚上，让更多的人来听。听力内容是一男一女，男的不同意学校的方法，理由是小教室更方便group discussion，大教室距离远了不好操作；而有的同学晚上有活动，有jobs to do，肯定没有时间来参加晚上的课时。

参考答案

In the reading passage, it says that the course of modern literature is becoming more and more popular, so some universities take two methods to let more students enroll in the courses. One is to change the small classroom into big one. The other is to add courses in the night to make sure more students to come. However, in the conversation, the boy doesn’t agree with it.

First, he thinks that the small classroom is more convenient for group discussion. But the big classroom isn’t very easy to do it because of the long distance.

What’s more, he says that many students are busy at night. They may have other activities or jobs to do, so that they don’t have time to take the classes at night.

【公开信】the university is offering new internship opportunity to journalism student. and

【观点】the woman think it is great.

【理由】First, student will gain professional skills through this experience, and also this experience looks good on resume. Second, final course doesn't have regular schedule for student to attend. 补充:学校有一个通知,提供大四记者专业的学生到真正的报社实习,可以抵一个大四的课程,女生同意,自己也想去,因为可以写文章,和 real editor 一起工作,还可以不用去上课

参考答案

In the reading material, the letter reads that the university is offering the internship opportunity to the senior students majoring in journalism. The students can get the same credits by working in the newspaper office instead of studying in the university for the last whole year.

In the listening material, the woman considers this as a great idea and she wants to get the internship opportunity. The first reason she gives is that it is a good chance to practice their writing skills, and working with the professional editors will enables them to improve their abilities to deal with problems in the real working environment. Another reason is based on the fact that the resume plays a vital role in hunting a job for the senior students, so if such an experience is listed in the resume, it will be very impressive.

Therefore, the woman is in favor of the internship opportunity

阅读: A letter suggests that students should choose their roommates based on two reasons: fewer conflicts and more dorm residence.

听力: the woman disagrees with the suggestion:

(1). There are not many conflicts between roommates; even if there are conflicts, students should learn to overcome them rather than avoid them. Experiencing conflicts and solving them are part of university life.

(2). The reason why students choose to live off-campus is that the price of dorm living is too expensive not that they cannot choose their own roommates. Therefore, allowing to choose roommates does not solve the problem.
