C.1.
The answer is yes. But the question
is open to discussion. Impulse can not stay
long without careful thinking. Writing is also
an art and art is cultivated
2.
A
writer needs creative power in producing good
stories. He has to
make painstaking efforts
in writing. Creative power needs cultivation and
genius
alone may not work in creating
original stories.
3. In most cases a good
story is rewritten. But there are writers who
think very
carefully about the story to be
written before they start writing. Careful
thinking and
rewriting are of the same nature
here.

C. 1. The author's hypothesis is
based on the following facts: the growth rate of
the world
population is now only one percent a
year; 44 percent of the world's people live in
countries
where fertility has already fallen
below the replacement rate, and fertility is
falling almost
everywhere else. The reason is
that population changes depend on the values
people hold. As
long as the modern value of
saving efforts and money by raising fewer children
remains
widespread, the world population will
not stop declining.
(Of these views, you may
have your own judgment, discuss with your
partners.)
2. The author suggests that human
values is one of the determining factors of
population
fluctuation. Modern way of life has
led to the declination in population in the
modernized
counties, and whether the world
population will grow or dwindle depends on the
values people
hold in the future. You may
agree, partly agree or disagree to the author's
view. Still you may
also put forward new views
regarding the relation between human values and
population.

C． 1. Genetically modified
food is made from crops and vegetables genetically
changed by
scientists. GM food has aroused
great dissentions among governments, scientists,
farmers, and
consumers. On one hand are the
high quality crops due to the gene technique, on
the other
hand are the potential risks.（ While
giving your ideas, consider the interests of
different
peoples.）
3.
From the text
we can see that the food fight between the U.S.
and the E. U. comes as much
from the concern
for their own interests as from safety
considerations. While the E. U. banned the
non-proved GM food from the U.S., France is
still churning out GM crops. Anyway, it shows
that
people are more alert to the potential
dangers of the GM food. （Your comments can be
positive or
negative. Consider that while the
consumers' attitudes determine the popularity of
the GM food,
the government, scientific
research, media propaganda and other factors can
influence the
consumers' decisions.）

C. 1. It doesn't take a
genius to work out why advertisers try hard to
market directly to children.
British children
aged four to fourteen spend an average of ￡2.49
each week. This makes the
pocket money market
worth more than ￡1.5 billion a year, according to
a recent report from
management consultancy
Datamonitor. In the US the pocket money market is
worth a massive
$$64 billion a year. Selling to
children has become big business.
2.
Many
measures have been taken to achieve this purpose.
For example, Winthrop
Publications in London
has just launched the International Journal of
Advertising and
Marketing to Children. One
article reports that 60 per cent of children aged
two to eleven
know by the end of October what
they want for Christmas, and that for girls under
seven
the biggest deciding factor is what they
see on television.
Conferences and
consultancies abound. Pay￡2000 and you can attend
Kid Power 99 at any
one of a
string of European venues. The meetings offer
workshops on
kids and whygroup1 marketingand

3.
From
psychologist's experiments about children's
response to ads, we can learn that
children
are not as gullible as they are thought to be.
They become more cynical and
sophisticated.
Children are literateand they can see through
hyperboleEither children are getting wise to
the advertising game, and at an earlier
age
than in the 1970s and 1980s, or in the past
psychologists underestimated their young
subjects' ability to work out other people's
motivation.
From article reports we know
that 60 per cent of children aged two to eleven
know
by the end of October know what they want
for Christmas, and that for girls under seven
the biggest deciding factor is what they see
on television. Children are notoriously
fickle, and advertisers have a hard job
keeping up with their capricious tastes. Children
are aware of the purpose of ads, those aimed
children are no more sinister than those
aimed
at adults.

C. 1.
Feedback shows that important student needs
are being satisfied by the
Internet. Websites
provide information, support and encouragement
when parents aren't around; students having
difficulties in particular
subjects can choose
their own pace, away from the classroom, to study
examples, tests and explanations on the web;
students who are missing
school through
illness can keep up. Many students say that
websites
provide better resources and support
in the lead-up to exams than their
weaker
teachers.
2.
No. Revision sites can't
totally replace traditional school functions. For
example, schools
do more than just inform and
train. Traditional schools do quite a bit in
shaping the sound
character of the
students. (Open to discussion.)
