2、avagant Spending on College CampusAccording to a survey, in recent years the monthly expenditure of a college student has been on the sharp rise. Many college students have no concept of thrift in their mind. They take it for granted that they spend money from their parents before they enter into th

3、e society. This extravagant spending is primarily caused by the following factors.First of all, nowadays most of the students are the only children of their families. They are the apple in their familys eyes and naturally get more care and pocket money. In addition, with the improvement of living st

4、andards, parents can afford higher expenditure of their children. Moreover, some students like to pursue fashion and trends, which tend to need more money.

11、文： The Prevalence of Western HolidaysIt is noticeable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while Chinese traditional holidays are being somewhat neglected. Old people often complain that Chinese New Year has lost its real meaning. To their astonishment, young people in

12、 China who are ignorant about Chinese traditional holidays are crazy about Christmas or Valentines Day.There are several possible reasons for this phenomenon. First, western nations, such as the United States and Britain, are powerful and dominant in every aspect. Everything in these countries is as

13、sumed to be superior and adored by some modern young people. Second, the prevalence of English as a world language and the development of globalization enable western culture to prevail in China. Overwhelmed by such a trend, Chinese unconsciously get involved in western culture. Last but not least,

14、some Chinese people have blind faith in foreign things while miss our own possessions with contempt.I am critical of this trend. China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. In modern times, Chinese tradition should be preserved and promoted. But it seems that young people no longer tre

15、asure the traditions. On the contrary, they turn to pursue enthusiastically a supposedly more modern culture. If this trend is allowed to continue, the priceless heritage of our ancestors will be replaced by western traditions. Nobody expects such a consequence. So lets join hand in hand to protect

Surveys show that the number of students financing his education in this way is increasing. However, some students, although not many, failed to pay back the loans as

19、they had promised in the contract. The banks have a very hard time coping with this problem. And the government can do nothing effective to help the banks. I think there is more than one reason for this. Dishonesty may be one but not the major one. As is known, we are experiencing a particular phase

20、 of economic development where the supply of human resources is much bigger than the demand for it. So many students are not able to find a well-paid job. How can they pay the loans back?

23、ry, always go along with the trend and like changing. While the old, accustomed to everything of the past, are hostile to change. Also with more and more different beliefs and philosophical ideas, it is natural the young hold different opinions from the old.I think in order to narrow the gap, both p

26、students pay attention to their spoken English, which results in a dramatic increase in the number of students who can spell English words but are incapable of speaking them fluently or correctly. This phenomenon has aroused many peoples attention.Why does such a phenomenon emerge? As far as Im conc

27、erned, there are possibly two reasons contributing to this phenomenon. On the one hand, exam-oriented education makes many schools lay emphasis on passing the English exams, which leads to the lack of speaking environment for students to practice their spoken English. On the other hand, students the

28、mselves dont realize the importance of the ability to speak English which has a great influence on their future study and career development.To change this situation, I think, we can take the following measures.

31、education. When you read newspapers, when you watch TV, when you walk on the road, you will inevitably see lots of advertisements about private schools. There are private schools mainly dealing with foreign languages, computers, music and sports.However, is it a good or bad thing to have so many pri

32、vate schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools. On the one hand, private schools can meet the special needs of the society or the particular requirements of people. On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition。When asked to decide w

33、hether we should have a society without private schools or a society with private schools, I will not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. Although attending a training course will result in the extra cost or burden, it is of tremendous merits in preparing my work and cultivating my skills.8. 作文題

34、目：孝敬父母Directions: Write an essay based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should:1) describe the drawing briefly,2) explain its intended meaning, and then3) state your point of view.參考范文：This is quite an extraordinary and meaningful picture. The old grandma, when alive, was fed poorly with

35、 a bowl of rice for every meal. In contrast, after her death, there is a memorial tablet set up for her, in front of which is a table of delicacies as tributes. Apparently, the grandmas children merely want to show off how well they treat their mother while they were actually ingrates.Ridiculous as

36、it is, the phenomenon is not rare in todays society. For one thing, enormous economic development brings not only wealth, but also the public obsession for material possessions, individual gain and loss which undermines the once sacred bond between parents and children. For another, people seem to b

37、e fond of boasting off how they abide by traditions through holding grand funerals for their parents. As a matter of fact, some even compete about the extravagance of the event.I contend that those who practice as the picture reveals miss the essence and deep values of our traditions. Filial piety s

38、hould not be expressed via superficial “performance”, but via childrens genuine care and love for their parents. Thinking about how parents have taken care of us when we were babies in cradles, we should realize that they all need due attention when aging.譯文：這是一幅非常特別而且有意義的圖畫。一位老奶奶在生前吃得非常簡單，每頓飯只有一碗米飯

39、。相反，在她過世后，后人為她立了一個牌位，前面放了一桌的山珍海味作為她的貢品。顯然她的孩子們只是想炫耀他們對待母親有多么好，實際上他們只是忘恩負義之輩。盡管這種現象非常荒唐，但是在我們的社會中卻并不少見。一方面，經濟的巨大發展不僅帶來了更多的財富，而且也使人們熱衷于物質收益和個人得失，這些都破壞了過去那種父母與兒女之間的神圣關系。另一方面，人們似乎非常喜歡通過為父母舉辦豪華的葬禮來顯示他們有多么遵守傳統。實際上，有一些人甚至攀比葬禮的奢華鋪張。不過，我認為圖中揭示的這種做法沒有抓住我們傳統文化的本質和深層價值。孝順不應該通過表面的“表演”來表現，而是應該通過孩子們對父母真正的關愛來表達。想一想

40、當我們還是在搖籃中的嬰兒的時候父母曾給過我們怎樣的關愛，我們應該意識到在他們老了以后也應該得到該得的關心。閃光詞匯及詞組:memorial tablet: 牌位delicacy: n. 山珍海味tribute: n. 貢品undermine: v. 破壞sacredbond: 神圣的關系show off, boast off: 炫耀，自夸abide by: 遵守grand: adj. 盛大的，豪華的extravagance: n. 奢侈，鋪張essence: n. 本質filial piety: n. 孝順，孝道genuine: adj. 真實的，真正的，誠懇的句型:This is quite

On one hand, it is pleasantly acknowledged that smartphones shorten the distance between families and friends. Even pe

44、ople from different sides of the globe can share pictures, feelings and thoughts through various types of apps on the phone, thus building a long-distance connection. On the other hand, as the picture warns us, too much smartphone addiction interferes with people's real-life communication. Stati
