Part ⅠWriting 审题概述：这是一篇针对现象说明存在的不同看法的作文，对于此类型的作文通常有两种写作结构：1） 将大众观点分为正反两方面来阐述，最后再对正反两种意见进行总结，提出自己的观点；2） 指出社会上大部分人的观点，最后提出自己的观点（一般为反对意见）并给出相应的例子佐证。我们首先归纳出大众的观点：大部分人持支持态度，认为青少年出国留学既可以培养孩子独立生活的能力，又可以让孩子接受更好的教育。而我的看法则不一样，我认为：1） 极早地让孩子独立生活是否有益，不能一概而论；2） 出国留学不一定能让孩子接受更好的教育。Teenagersue10b Studying AbroadNowadays there are more and more teenagers who choose to go abroad to study in high schools or even elementary schools. Many people, especially the parents, claim that it will certainly do good to their children, for the independent overseas life will teach them confidence and perseverance. Moreover, the quality of overseas education is often higher, thus the child stands a better chance entering a better university and getting a better job in the careful consideration, I think the above view is more than biased. On one hand, early independent life is not necessarily good, if the child canue10bt receive proper guidance and tender care from parents. On the other hand, the educational quality is also doubtful, some foreign schools caring more about money rather than quality. Who can guarantee they can adapt to the fierce domestic competition?In light of the favorable benefits and unavoidable disadvantages, it seems necessary for young students to conduct a thorough investigation before going abroad.

1. W: This is the third time youue10bve been late this week,Mr. Green. Youue10bll have to do better than that,or I might have to let you go.
M: It wonue10bt happen again,I promise.
Q: Who spoke to Mr. Green?
2. W: Is your roommate very generous?
M: Generous?Heue10bll turn his back on you if you want to borrow one dollar from him.
Q: What can we conclude from this conversation?
3. W: I certainly enjoyed meeting your parents. I hope they liked me.
M: My parents would approve of any girl I liked,I assure you.
Q: Whatue10bs the probable relationship between the two speakers?
4. W: I bought 3 shirts for 75 dollars for my son in this shop yesterday.
M: Thatue10bs really very cheap.
Q: How much does each shirt cost?
5. W: Oh,my God! Itue10bs almost half past five and I have not finished typing these business letters.
M: Your watch must be half an hour fast. It is five oue10bclock now,and you still have one good hour to do them.
Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?
6. W: Should we have lunch together tomorrow?Iue10bll be in the downtown.
M: Iue10bm afraid I canue10bt. Iue10bll be really tied up tomorrow.
Q: What does the man mean?
7. W: Why donue10bt you go to bed,Jimmy?You look so tired.
M: I have to finish this assignment first. Itue10bs giving me a hard time.
Q: Why does Jimmy have to stay up late?
8. M: How do Jane and Bill like their new home?
W: Itue10bs really comfortable,but they are tired of having to hear the jets go over their house at all hours.
Q: What is located close to Jane and Billue10bs new home?Now youue10bll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: What do you think the value of work is?
W: Well,I think in our current society,for most people,work has very little value at all. Most of us go out to work for about eight to nine hours of our working day. We do things which are totally useless or have very little justification whatsoever.
M: Then why do most people work?
W: For most of us the only reason for working is that we need to keep ourselves alive,to pay for somewhere to live,to pay to feed our children.
M: Would people know what to do if they didnue10bt have to go to work?
W: Well,again this raises two main aspects of work. Should we think of work only as a sort of breadwinning process,and this is very much the role it has in current society,or should we take a much wider perspective on work and think of all the possible sort of activities that human beings could be doing during the day?
M: What is the distinction currently?Could you illustrate this point?
W: For example,someone who works in a car factory and produces cars which are just adding to pollution,to overue011consumption of vital resources. He is doing something which is very harmful,both to our environment and society. However,a doctor could be justified as doing a very valuable job.
M: What do you do?
W: I am a teacher in the University.
M: Is your job just a breadwinning process or do you get some satisfaction out of doing it?
W: Well,in the job I do find that most of the satisfaction is a mental one; itue10bs coming to grips with the problems of my subject and with the problems of teaching in the University. Clearly this is the type of satisfaction that most people are doing what we call in England “whiteue011collar” jobs.
M: Can all the people doing “whiteue011collar” jobs get mental satisfaction?
W: Well,these “whiteue011collar” jobs now are becoming very mindless such as clerks and bank employees. These people have fairly soulue011destroying jobs which nevertheless donue10bt involve much physical effort.
M: Then how do they get their satisfaction?
W: They tend to come home and do “doue011itue011yourself” activities at home. They make cupboards,paint their houses,and repair their cars,which somehow provide the sort of physical job satisfaction that theyue10bre denied in their working day.

on for most people to work?

11. How does the woman feel about her job?
12. Which of the following can not be counted as the “whiteue011collar” job?Conversation Two
W: Weue10bre having a debate on advertising tomorrow and I have to take part.
M: Thatue10bs interesting. I should like to hear what young people think about advertising.
W: Well,we wouldnue10bt know what there was to buy if we didnue10bt have advertisements.
M: Yes,thatue10bs true—up to a point. Advertisements provide information that we need. If someone has produced a new article,naturally the seller wants to tell us about it.
W: Yes,and advertisements tell us which product is the best.
M: Do they?I donue10bt think so. Every manufacturer says that his product is the best,or at least tries to give that impression. Only one can be the best,so the others are misleading us,arenue10bt they?
W: Well,in a way,I suppose,but we donue10bt have to believe them,do we?
M: Are you saying that advertisements arenue10bt effective?I donue10bt think that intelligent businessmen would spend millions of dollars on advertising if nobody believed the advertisements,do you?
W: Perhaps not,but after all,itue10bs their money that theyue10bre spending.
M: Is it?I think not. The cost of advertising is added to the price of the article. You and I and all the other people who buy the article pay for the advertising!
W: Well,I suppose we get something for our money—some information.
M: Yes,but donue10bt forget itue10bs often misleading information,and sometimes harmful.

Passage OneTime. I think a lot about time and not just because itue10bs the name of the news organization I work for. Like most working people, I find time, or the lack of it, and neverue011ending frustration and an unwinnable battle. My every day is a race against the clock that I never ever seem to win. This is hardly a lonesome complaint. According to the families and work institutes, national study of the changing workforce, 55 percent of employees say they donue10bt have enough time for themselves, 63 percent donue10bt have enough time for their spouses or partners, and 67 percent donue10bt have enough time for their children. Itue10bs also not a new complaint. I bet our ancestors returned home from hunting wild animals and gathering nuts and complained about how little time they had to paint battle scenes on their cave walls. The difference is that the boss of animal hunting and the head of nut gathering probably told them to shut up or no survival for you. Todayue10bs workers are still demanding control over their time. The difference is todayue10bs bosses are listening. Iue10bve been reading a report issued today called when work works produced join
tly by three organizations. They set up to find and warn the employers who employ the most creative and most effective ways to give their workers flexibility. I found this report worth reading and suggest every boss should read it for ideas.

17. What does the speaker say about our ancestors?
18. Why does the speaker suggest all bosses read the report by the three organizations?
Passage Two Loving a child is a circular business. The more you give, the more you get, the more you want to give, Penalaeone said. What she said proves to be true of my blended family. I was born in 1931. As the youngest of six children, I learned to share my parentsue10b love. Raising six children during the difficult times of the Great Depression took its toll on my parentsue10b relationship and resulted in their divorce when I was 18 years old. Daddy never had very close relationships with his children and drifted even farther away from us after the divorce. Several years later, a wonderful woman came into his life and they were married. She had two sons, one of them still at home. Under her influence, we became a blended family and a good relationship developed between the two families. She always treated us as if we were her own children. It was because of our other mother, Daddyue10bs second wife, that he became closer to his own children. They shared over 25 years together before our father passed away. At the time of his death, the question came up of my mother, Daddyue10bs first wife, attending his funeral. I will never forget the unconditional love shown by my step mother. When I asked her if she would object to mother attending Daddyue10bs funeral, without giving it a second thought, she immediately replied. “Of course not, honey. She is the mother of my children.”

Passage Three In February last year, my wife lost her job. Just as suddenly, the owner of the Green House where I worked as manager died of a heart attack. His family announced that they were going to close the business because no one in the family wanted to run it. Things looked pretty gloomy. My wife and I read the want ads each day. Then one morning, as I was hanging a “Going Out of Business” sign at the Green House, the door opened and in walked a customer. She was an office manager whose company had just moved into the new office park on the edge of the town. She was looking for potted plants to place in the reception areas in offices. “I donue10bt know anything about plants”, she said, “I am sure in a few weeks, theyue10bll all be dead.” While I was helping her select her purchases, my mind was racing. Perha
ps as many as a dozen firms that recently opened offices in the new office park and there were several hundred more acres with construction under way. That afternoon, I drove up to the office park. By 6 oue10bclock that evening, I had signed contracts with 7 companies to rent plants from me and pay me a fee to maintain them. Within a week, I had worked down to an agreement to lease the Green House from the ownerue10bs family. Business is now increasing rapidly. And one day we hope to be the proud owners of the Green House.

Section C Anyone who sees a special type of airplane with its (26) turning wings knows it is a helicopter. One of the helicopterue10bs most important (27) qualities is its ability to fly as slowly as it likes. It can do more than that. It can move backwards,(28) forwards and sideue011ways. It can also stay in the air without moving at all. Above all it can (29) move up and down in a completely (30) straight line: the ability to take off and land is the most (31) valuable. For in this way it can (32) deliver goods and passengers to places which could not possibly be reached by (33) ordinary planes. It can land in a very small field. It can land on a road,or on a small ship. Helicopters are often used as flying cranes. They are used for (34) loading ships and for building things of all kinds. The big oil companies use them for sending (35) supplies to men searching for oil under the sea. But helicopters are most in the use when they go to the help of people who are in danger. Every day somewhere in the world lives are saved by helicopters. Helicopters can also be used as taxis or buses. Ordinary airplanes cannot land in the center of cities. Helicopters can. In New York,there is a helicopter service between the three big airports. London,too,has one to connect with London Airport. This could have a very important effect on air travel in Britain.
