2、b or to continue studyingRecently, there is going on a hot debate arguing which is better to find a job or to continue studying, which is really not easy to give a prompt answer to.Some believe that stepping off campus and going to work is a better choice because it can greatly assist the student to
3、 experience the real world, acquiring more practical working experiences, and thus becoming mature sooner. While among the discussion, there is also a voice of opposition, which says to seek a higher degree is more important for the young people.As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter. For
4、 one thing, I have always been under the impression that academic study is the most important thing for the young. Life seems long but the time for studying is quite limited and it needs ones active attention, good memory, and even the adequate energy, all of which young ones have the most of. For t
5、he other, a higher degree can be greatly instrumental for a college student to find a job.Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: On the post 80s.

6、inese:1.“80后”指出生在二十世纪八十年代的人。2. 大家印象中的“ 80后” 的特点。3. 你的看法。On the post 80sThe post 80s is a symbol standing for a generation who was born between 1980 and 1989. Now they have been in their 20s, which has formed a specific group in the modern society.The post 80s has long been branded as spoiled, egotis
7、tical, aloof and rebellious. They used to be considered as a troubled generation, brought up in a mixed atmosphere where hot competition for higher grade coexisted with unprecedented physical comforts. Fully exposed to commercialized society, they are so accustomed to junk food, the Internet, and al
8、l kinds of conveniences that they tend to refrain from pursuing all the classics cherished by their forefathers. As the only child in the family, they have been referred to as the “sun” in the family: at the center, well-fed and over-protected. As a member of the post 80s, I think we are always ener
9、getic, open-minded, well-educated, and more acceptable to new ideas, although we lack self-control and self-dependence sometimes. I would try to improve myself to shoulder the responsibility both for myself and the whole society. We are the real “builders” of our own beautiful life and the harmoniou

You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:1. 有人认为现代科技近了人们之间的距离。2. 有人持相反意见。3. 你的观点。Modern technolog
11、y and human intimacyWith the development of technology, many people believe that they have become more intimate. There are several reasons for this phenomenon. The popularity of cell phones and Internet makes it available to contact friends or relatives both at home and abroad. Whats more, it is mor
12、e convenient to visit someone due to the constant improvement of vehicles.However, there are some people with the opposite view. From their viewpoint, modern technology has not narrowed the gap. On the contrary, it helps widen the gap. An important reason is that calls and short messages lack emotio
13、nal cues, and they can never replace face-to-face communication. In my opinion, technology does not play a decisive role. It depends on our attitudes. If we value friends and relatives, we should get close to them in person. Otherwise, they will feel emotionally distant.Part VI Translation (5 minute

I want to say something about the undesirable things that I have found in the university library. You may not realize how muc
16、h our library, the landmark of our university or even of our town, weighs in our minds. It is a place we are most proud of and where we like to spend most of our time. In such an honorable place I have noticed recently some phenomena that bothered me a lot. Firstly, there are not enough seats to fin
17、d while some seats in the reading rooms are vacant but permanently-reserved, that is, some students “occupy” some seats but they never come to use. What a terrible waste of valuable resource! Secondly, some other students are too noisy, talking among themselves, allowing their mobile phone to beep a
18、t anytime. Thirdly, some library staff are rude and not helpful most of the time. Worst of all, there are few new books in our library. We can not find many useful new books. These undesirable things have already done damage to the fame of our university and caused a lot of inconvenience to the user
19、s. At last, I hope that something can be done to change the current situation. Let our cozy, comfortable, quiet and effective library come back. Best wishes!Sincerely yours, Liu JunPart I Writing (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the title “
20、Cell phones have changed peoples lives”. You should write at least 150 words giving specific reasons and examples to support your idea.Cell phones have changed peoples livesAs one of the most important inventions in the 20th century, the cell phone brings a variety of benefits to human beings. With
21、a cell phone at hand, we can call each other anywhere at any time. You dont have to be afraid that you cant get the information even if you are taking a walk outdoors. Now that the cell phone can also be connected to the Internet, you can browse the news without a heavy computer. The cell phone has
22、changed the earth to a “town”. You can talk to a friend directly even when you are at the other side of the earth. But everything has two sides, and so does the cell phone. It makes you accessible to anyone who wants you, so that you cannot enjoy complete privacy as you desire. People sometimes comp
23、lain that they have too many unwelcome or unexpected phone calls and messages.On the whole, like it or not, cell phones have changed peoples lives in many aspects. And we have to learn to live with them.Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a c
24、omposition on the topic Water shortage. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:1. 水的重要性。2. 造成水资源缺乏的因。3. 如何解决缺水问题。Water is playing a very important role in our daily life. Without water, neither human beings nor any other living things could live. Without wat
25、er, neither agriculture nor industry could exist, and without water the development of economy would become an empty talk. Unfortunately, we are facing a serious water shortage. It chiefly results from the terrible waste of water resources and heavy pollution in some rivers and lakes. Because of the
26、 pollution, the water in those rivers and lakes is no longer drinkable or available for any other use. And the uneven distribution of water resources also causes severe water shortage in some areas. Of course, the large population of our nation is another fact that is closely related to water shorta
27、ge. Then how can we solve the water shortage problem? The most effective way, in my opinion, is that we should not waste any water. Everyone should form a habit of saving every drop of water. We must try our best to prevent the rivers and lakes from being polluted when we develop economy. The govern
28、ment should carry out some projects to divert water to the areas where water is seriously in shortage and some projects to desalinate large amounts of sea water to make drinking water. Luckily, some of such projects are under construction. We are convinced that when those projects are completed, the
29、 problem of water shortage in those areas will be eased. Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Chunyun. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:1. 在中国，过春节时人们都想回家团聚，由此引发“春运 ”现象。2.春运
30、期间一票难求，许多人对此表示不满。3.呼吁相关部门采取有效措施，解决春运交通难题。The Spring Festival has boasted the grandest traditional festival in China. Chinese peoples traditional determination to reunite with their family members on this occasion no matter how far they are from home has brought about a unique phenomenonChunyun or tr
31、ansportation during the holiday.Hundreds of millions of Chinese people are on the move by all means of transportation, which is definitely a spectacular scene that is not seen in any other country. Obtaining a ticket on train, bus or plane is the top concern for all those who work or study away from
32、 their hometowns. Workers and students have complained about the difficulties of buying a ticket and going back home. The “precious” ticket has become the pass for those who eagerly expect the reunion with their loved ones.The Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Railway are urged to take vario
33、us measures to improve the transportation for all the Chinese people. They should arrange for more trains, buses, and planes. At the same time, they should open more ticket-selling windows and control the sale of tickets to avoid speculative reselling of tickets. It is advisable that the passengers
34、might go home as early as possible.Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition about the increase in farmers income in China. You should write at least 120 words following the outline and graph given below in Chinese:1. 中国农民的收入有了巨大的增长。2. 分析
35、农民收入增加的因。According to the figures given by the graph, the Chinese farmers average annual income was rather low in 1978. Then it rose steadily. In 1988, it reached 460 yuan. In 1998, it reached 800 yuan. Better yet, there was a swift growth since 1998. In 2008, it reached 1,500 yuan.There were severa
36、l reasons for the increase in the farmers income in China. Firstly, the Chinese government had been carrying out a reform and opening policy. A large number of township enterprises had been set up. Secondly, a significant reform of agricultural policy had been carried out in China. The Partys policy
37、 had brought farmers initiative into full play. Another reason is that, with the application of new technologies in agriculture, the agricultural output rose dramatically. At last, many farmers went to big cities for work after they had finished their agricultural work. In this way, they earned more
38、 money. This is an important reason for the significant increase of farmers income since 1998.I believe that with the rapid development of our country and a series of agricultural policies being carried out, there will be even more rapid development in Chinas agriculture. There is no doubt that the
39、farmers standard of living will be improved to a great extent.Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic of Reducing stress on campus. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:1. 现代大学生所面
40、临的压力。2. 分析压力产生的因。3. 如何减轻压力。Reducing stress on campusUniversity students are faced to various pressures nowadays: the academic pressure to achieve high marks, the employment pressure due to the fierce competition of the tight job market, and the pressure coming from the preparation for postgraduate o
41、r overseas study. The tremendous pressure mainly stems from three aspects. Firstly, in order to become top students and to win a scholarship, many students spend more time on studying but less time on recreation. Secondly, finding that their peers are staying up late, many students will feel guilty
42、and they study even harder. Thirdly, in fear that they wont have a respectable job in the future, the students strongly believe that only by mastering more knowledge at college, could they have a bright future.To relieve the pressure, I think the following measures are feasible and practical. First,
43、 it is advisable to go in for proper outdoor activities. Exercises will help students refresh their mind and thus lessen the burden of study. Second, the over-high expectations leading to the strong strain must be lowered. Third, a chat with close friends is a favorably good way to alleviate enormou
44、s pressure.In brief, I hope these measures can help students lead a life of high quality, especially under the circumstances of economic crisis.Part I Writing (30 minutes) Directions: There is an old saying that “Clothes make the man.” How do you understand the saying? You are allowed 30 minutes to
45、write a short essay on this topic. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese: 1. 你对该谚语的理解。2. 你（不）赞同这种说法以及理由。Clothes do not make the manWe are familiar with an old saying that “Clothes make the man,” which means good-looking outfits may possibly make a person be
46、tter liked. Many people judge others by the way they dress. For these people, what one wears is taken as an essential signal of status and an expression of characteristics. Consequently, clothes do help make a good impression on others. But I have a different view on this issue. I think the good imp
47、ression one leaves on others based on clothes doesnt last long. Clothes just make a man look better, but will in no sense make him a better person. On the contrary, when people who are fascinated by a persons clothes eventually find out that he/she is an undesirable person, they would think he/she i
48、s pretentious and may even treat him/her with contempt. On top of this, people who attach too much importance to clothes would waste their time and money on it. Besides, it adversely affects their effort on the things that really matter.In summary, clothes do help in making an initial image, but do
49、not make the man. Ones internal beauty and knowledge are more decisive of a persons value.Part I Writing (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition titled “Students evaluation of classroom teaching.” You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:1. 现在高校很注重学生对教师的课堂评价。2. 学校的关注产生了一定的影响。3. 你的观点。Students evaluation of classroom teaching More and more colleges and universities pay much attention to the students evaluation of teachers.
