Last year, more than 120,000 people in the city chose to spend their vacations outside China.A number of factors account for the change in the chart, but the following are the most critical

17、 words following the outline given below.1. 现在国内有不少人喜欢过西方的某些节日2. 产生这种现象的原因3. 这种现象可能带来的影响The Celebration of Western FestivalsNo one can have failed to notice the fact that an increasing number of Chinese are fond of celebrating some Western festivals today.

18、e give flowers or chocolate to the one they love. Another case in point is Christmas.

21、年 12 月新六级真题)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Importance of Reading Classics. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below.1.阅读经典书籍对人的成长至关重要2.现在愿意阅读经典的人却越来越少，原因是3.我们大学生应该怎么做The Importance of Reading ClassicsReading clas
22、sics plays a vital role in a persons growth. By reading classic works, either Chinese or foreign, one can learn a great deal about history, geography, politics, wars and customs. Besides, as these classics are the outstanding representatives human language, reading them can enormously improve our ab
23、ility to read and write and to inherit cultural traditions.However, a diminishing number of people would like to read classics now. A variety of factors may have contributed to this phenomenon, but the following are the critical one. In the first place, as the pace of life and work quickens, people
24、can find little time to indulge themselves in thick and serious works. They would rather read light and easy magazines or surf the Internet and do online reading. In the second place, most classics depict things far away from our real life, which makes reading them seem irrelevant.As college student
25、s, we should shoulder the burden of inheriting and developing cultural heritage. Therefore, it is essential that we should make plans to read classics regularly. Besides, we should try to influence people around us into reading them.7.Keeping PetsThere is no denying the fact that keeping pets is a h
26、otly debated topic today. Some people think keeping pets is a good thing to do. They believe that pets, like cats and dogs, can help relieve the loneliness suffered by senior citizens and other social members who are confined to their homes for this reason or that. They also argue that keeping pets
27、helps mankind understand animals world and develop positive feelings toward them.Others, however, hold the opposite view. They regard keeping pets as a useless but harmful thing to do. First, pets can transmit diseases. Secondly, the noises and dung of pets are sources of pollution. Last but not lea
28、st, as many rare birds and animals are kept as pets, they will surely be hunted on a large scale, which means a threat to the balance of the ecosystem.Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am inclined to agree with the latter. Anyway, we can lessen our loneliness and express our love towa
29、rd animals in other ways. And it is my belief that only by placing man and other species on an equal basis can we expect to have a lively and colorful world.8. Where There Is a Will, There Is a WayA well-known proverb goes that “where there is a will, there is a way”, which means that one can find a
30、 way to success as long as he or she has a strong will. With a strong will, one can focus all his energy on one point, which makes his success possible. Without a strong will, however, one can be easily distracted from his goal or discouraged by setbacks, which leads to his ultimate failure.History
31、abounds with examples of strong-willed figures winning success. Actually, there is no better illustration of the proverb than the deeds of Gou Jian, king of Yue in ancient China. Defeated by Fu Chai, king of Wu, Gou tried every means possible to steel his will. Eventually, with the help of Fan Li an
32、d Xi Shi, he managed to rebuild his country and his armies and had Fu Chai taste the bitterness of failure.In short, a strong will is essential if we want to make achievements in our studies or work, or indeed in any other aspect of our lives. One should lose no chance to strength his will and remem
33、ber, God helps those who help themselves.9. More Students Pursue Master DegreesIt can be seen from the chart that there have been sharp increases in the number of students attending graduate entrance exams in a college in the past decades. As the chart shows, the year 1996 witnessed only 200 student
34、s taking part in the exams. In 2001, the number nearly doubled. In 2006, far more students prepared themselves for graduate studies.A number of factors could account for the change in the chart, but the following are the most critical ones. First, thanks to the policy of reform and opening-up, the n
35、ations economy has been developing at a considerably high speed in the past decades. Therefore, the people have more extra money for education. Secondly, other relevant state policies and the boom of higher education provide students with more opportunities to pursue higher degrees. Last but not lea
36、st, the increasingly fierce competition forces college students to further their study in order to gain more edge of competition.In a word, this chart is a perfect indicator of Chinas fast expanding higher education. Although many problems have arisen in the process, we have every reason to believe
37、that they can be solved in the near future with effective measures taken.10. Studying Abroad: Hardships and RewardsThe recent years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of Chinese studying abroad. Obviously, studying abroad has its rewards. In the first place, a student can have access to adv
38、anced science and technology as well as desirable working conditions which might not be available at home. In the second place, he can be exposed to entirely new ideas and trends. Last but not least, by living and studying in a foreign country, one can improve his foreign language much faster than a
39、t home.However, just as every coin has two sides, studying abroad may also confront one with a series of hardships. For one thing, learning a foreign language is far from an easy thing at the beginning for most people. For another, a completely new environment with different customs and habits may a
40、lso be a barrier to overseas students, especially to the young. An added difficulty lies with finance: it can cost a lot to study abroad.From my point of view, the advantages of studying abroad outweigh its disadvantages. But it is a big decision to go abroad to study and one should take into consid
41、eration his financial conditions and his ability to adapt to new surrounding. Personally, I choose to go abroad and study if I find it necessary.Directions: Write a composition entitled A Poster Calling for the Design of Environment-friendly Cloth Bag.

47、e English education should be under way.People ask for English education reform mainly because of the Inadequacy of college English education under the current system. On the one hand, many coilege English teachers underestimate the role interest plays in English learning and keep preaching in class
48、. On the other hnd, under the current system, most Chinese students tend to separate vocabulary memorizing, grammar, Hsteniiig, speaking, reading, and writing ftom each other and therefore their English is also “broken” in this way. This has also greatly contributed to the “dumb English” of many Chi
49、nese students.In my view, to reform English education, colleges and universities should encourage students to speak English in class and hold more activities to promote students oral English. Teachers should focus on attracting students with vivid teaching and arouse students* enthusiasm in learning English. With the collaboration, the reform of college BngHsh education will surely yield pleatifu fitiits.减少校园浪费Reduce Waste on CampusAs is known to all, waste on campus has become a more and more serious problem. we can easily see many students dump a lot of food in t
