3、 old women across the street? It is hard to imagine we could actually encounter the situations mentioned without dogs. Personally, I believe dog is loved by almost everyone and considered as one of the most important animals. First of all, dogs are the ideal company for people. Regardless of whether
4、 the person is a young child, a retired person, or a businessman at the peak of his productive prime, dogs will always faithfully follow their owners and give them happiness. In my personal experience I still remember when I was ill for a period in junior high school. I was shut in the house for thr
5、ee months, having no choice but to lay in bed and stare at the ceiling all day. Moreover, there was a very important exam coming, but I had no motivation to study. I was very depressed and downhearted, so my mother bought me two pet Chihuahuas. They were always curious about everything and loved pla
6、ying with each other. Their lightheartedness really helped lift me out of my gloom and inspired me to start preparing for the exam even though I could not go to class.

10、ogs are an indispensable part of our nation. 问题:2. Directions: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A zoo has no useful purpose. Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer.答案:参考范文 The Value of Zoos It has been said that zoos no longer serve a useful purpose. I believe
11、 this statement may be based on the fact that we can now learn about animals in other ways, such as through television documentaries, books, and even travel to the animals natural habitats. Others say that zoos are artificial environments that do the animals more harm than good. In my opinion, these
12、 arguments do have some merit but do not outweigh the advantages of zoos as centers for education and conservation. The primary purpose of a zoo is to educate. It provides people with an opportunity to see live animals at close quarters. Furthermore, these are animals that most people would never se
13、e otherwise. They may be from areas that are far away or inaccessible. Moreover, they may be rare and difficult to see in the wild. While books and videos can provide people with information about such animals, nothing can equal the effect of seeing a live animal. Allowing people to see live animals
14、, especially rare ones, can also help the zoo achieve another important goalto promote conservation. People who feel a connection with animals are more likely to support programs to protect natural habitats and outlaw hunting. In addition, the zoo can take an active role by providing rare animals wi
15、th a protected environment and working to increase their numbers. In conclusion, there is no doubt in my mind that zoos still serve a vital function in todays society. They not only educate and conserve, but also allow people to experience a connection with animals. And it is this connection that ma

18、ut could purify the polluted air, such as cactus; while others provide people with first-class wood for furniture, in the case, sandal could be counted. However, if I list one conspicuous plant in my country, I would choose, with no hesitation, rice. My reasons are as follows. First and foremost, ri
19、ce reflects the specific culture of my country. Thousands of years ago, wheat was regarded as the most important food crop. However, as Chinese people moved into the warmer and wetter climates of the south, they found that wheat was not a suitable crop for those climates. Fortunately our ancestors,
20、renowned for their wisdom, picked rice as a substitute to plant in the southern areas. As time passed, rice proved so adaptable that it was adopted back in the north. It gradually replaced wheat as the staple dietary starch in most of China. China is known around the world for rice, as can be seen b

Nowadays, not only in my area but in every part of the world, people regard rice as popular staple food
22、. My country, as a matter of fact, has become the largest rice exporting country. In rural areas or suburbs, most farmers count on rice for living since it could bring them sufficient income. On the other hand, for city dwellers, they develop diverse dishes or recipes from rice. For instance, the gl

24、acy. All in all, rice is a plant with modest appearance that requires little tendance, but contribute all itself for people. Although nowadays, many other plants could be alternative choices for food, rice will still be an indispensable part of peoples daily lives. Thus, rice, I consider, is the mos
25、t important plant in my country. 问题:4. Directions: In the future, students may have the choice of studying at home by using technology such as computers or televisions or of studying at traditional schools. Which would you prefer? Use specific reasons and details to explain your choice.答案:参考范文 Study
26、ing at Traditional Schools or Studying at Home In the past, Ive heard people say that you can never replace a live teacher with a computer and a television. Well, I think that might have been true ten years ago. However, during the last decade, education software has continued to become better and b
27、etter while the faculty and facilities at many of our traditional public schools have become worse and more expensive. I think its time for a change. First of all, educating students in their homes using computers and televisions allows for much flexibility. Students can adjust their study schedule
28、to match the time of day when they are most alert. They can also progress through the lessons at their own pace. For example, clever children will be able to advance more quickly, and the slower ones can take more time to gain a deeper understanding of the material before moving on to the next lesso
29、n. Secondly, home-based education is safer and it saves precious time and money. Many traditional schools can no longer offer a safe and healthy educational environment. When a child goes to a traditional school, he or she faces the daily dangers of being involved in a traffic accident, kidnapped by
30、 a child abuser, beaten or humiliated by school bullies, influenced by drug peddles and exposed to contagious diseases. Its sad but true. Educating students at home also saves on transportation time, which can be better spent studying. The government will also save a lot of money on teachers salarie
31、s and the cost of school facilities. Last of all, a home-based school system will help our society achieve equality in education. All students, no matter what district they live in, will receive the same quality of instruction. Even disabled children and children in rural areas can attend classes wi
32、th city children, all without having to leave their house or hometown. In summary, I prefer home-based study to the traditional school system. Home-based education is more flexible and safe and it saves precious time and money. It also helps us achieve equality in education. 问题:5. Directions: The tw

Use specific reasons and details to explain your choice.答案:参考范文 What Is the Change that Should Be Remembered About the Twentieth Century? There have been many changes, both te
34、chnological and cultural, in the twentieth century. I believe that one stands out about the rest advances in medical science. The changes in medical science go together with the changes in technological and cultural areas. One can move ahead only with the help of the others. We can see the results o
35、f medical advances in three areas: development of vaccines and antibiotics, expanded access to health care, and improved surgical techniques. When medical researchers learned how to prevent disease and stop it from spreading, the quality of life for many people around the world improved. Today small
36、pox is forgotten disease and vaccinations are no longer required. Polio is under control and the vaccine is widely available. The development of penicillin has helped many people recover from serious illnesses. Although health care is not universal even in developed countries, it is much better than
37、 it used to be. Local clinics, visiting nurses and specialty hospitals have all improved the health care for our communities. If you should be unfortunate and require surgery, you are still lucky to have the surgery today rather than even ten years ago. Now with microscopic and laser surgery, operations are more efficient. You spend less time in the hospital and you recover faster. I cant think of any other change that has affected the lives of so many people. Our health is important to all of us. We all are thankful for advances in the area of medical science. 9 / 9
