11、sty). But by 1990, we have 1,100 million people, a figure 55 times as big as that of 2211 years ago. However, the population growth developed unevenly in different periods. For example, from BC221 to AD1834, the population was growing very slowly, whereas, the population increased rapidly since then

12、 Especially after the liberation (1949), the population was growing at the rate of 20 million a year.Why is there the sharp contrast of population growth in different periods? Many reasons contributed to it. In the past, many people were dying of hunger, poverty, or wars. Due to poor living and med

13、ical conditions, many people died at young age and few could reach the age of 80. But now, the number of childbirth is greater and the life expectancy is longer.But this over-rapid population growth poses a threat to our society. It hinders economic and social development. So, since 1980 the governm

14、ent has carried out family planning program. As a result, the population growth in the last decade did not increased as fast as before. And we are looking forward to the further decline of growth rate in the future.)解析：二、Unit 2(总题数：1，分数：25.00)2.Directions: You are allowed 35 minutes to write a compo

16、正确答案：(China is called the kingdom of bicycles, because it has the largest number of bicycle riders with millions of bicycles made every year. Bicycles are the most important and popular transportation tools in China. Wherever you go, you may find many people riding on bicycles to go to work, to do

17、 shopping, to visit friends to go to school and so on. During the rush hour, you can often see a boiling sea of bicycles in all directions.Compared with cars, bicycles have many advantages Firstly, they are not very expensive and almost every family can afford to buy them. Secondly, though they run

18、more slowly than cars, bicycles are very handy and convenient. With a bicycle you can go wherever downtown area or get a garage at home. Thirdly, bicycles dont cause air pollution. On the contrary, they do good to your health.However, bicycles also have some disadvantages. Needless to say the slow s

19、peed, we may suffer a fall from the bicycle. Unlike the cars, bicycles cannot protect us from rain, snow, or cold, so in bad weathers we cant ride bicycles. But despite these disadvantages, bicycles are still widely used by people.)解析：三、Unit 3(总题数：1，分数：25.00)3.Directions: Is it better to enjoy your

Use specific reasons and examples to support your idea. You should write 160200 words.（分数：25.00）_正确答案：(Everyone must

21、work to live, but many people are fortunate enough to make more money than they immediately need. What should they do with this extra income? While it is tempting for people to spend it all on things they desire, I believe it is better to save at least a portion of the extra income for the future.By

22、 saving money, people give themselves more security. They cannot predict the future, perhaps one day they will be jobless. At a time like this their savings can spare them a great deal of suffering and help to see them through the hard time. In addition, saving money allows people to build up a larg

23、er sum. They can then buy something more worthwhile than the small things they can, they cant do this if they spend the money right away. Finally, the practice of saving helps people develop the habit of setting goals and planning for their future. In this way they are bound to lead more meaningful

24、and successful lives.Most people would like to enjoy their money immediately. Nobody likes to wait for the things that he wants. However, if we learn to save our money, we can gain more advantages in the future. We will lead more secure and, thus, happier lives. We will also be able to buy the thing

25、s we truly want but cannot afford right now.)解析：四、Unit 4(总题数：1，分数：25.00)4.Directions: A friend of yours has received some money and plans to use all of it either to go on vacation or to buy a car. Your friend has asked you for advice. Compare your friends two choices and explain which one you think

26、your friend should choose. You should write your essay no less than 160 words.（分数：25.00）_正确答案：(If my friend has to choose between taking a vacation and buying a new car, it would be a difficult decision to make. On the one hand, vacations are important because they help us relax and replenish our en

27、ergy. They can also be good opportunities for learning or personal growth. A car, on the other hand, is a useful tool, which can make our lives more convenient. The choice has following reasons.First of all, the benefit of owning a car will last years rather than weeks. My friend would be able to en

28、joy the car long after any vacation is over. Second, a car is very useful and owning one would make my friends life more convenient. Although the purchase of a new car would not immediately relieve as much stress as a vacation, it could reduce the pressure my friend feels in daily life by saving him

29、 time. Last but not least, it would be possible for him to buy a car and still go on vacation. My friend could plan a cheaper vacation and travel to his destination in his new car.The choice between a vacation and a car is indeed a difficult one. However, I believe that purchasing a car would be the

30、 right choice for my friend to make. It would provide him lasting benefit and make his life easier and less stressful on a daily basis. In the end, a car is more useful than a vacation.)解析：五、Unit 5(总题数：1，分数：25.00)5.Directions: Everyone of us needs to have friends. However, making friends is not easy

31、 The following points will help you make more friends:1Be polite;2Be tolerant;3Be considerate;4Remember names.In your essay, you should use the four pieces of information mentioned above. You should write no less than 160 words.（分数：25.00）_正确答案：(Everyone of us needs to have friends. However, making

32、friends is not easy. If we feel shy, we may hesitate to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have. The following points, in my opinion, seem to be essential to make more and better friends.Firstly, be polite. Always greet people in a friendly and enthusia

33、stic manner. Begin your requests with little phrases like “Would you please“, “Would you mind“, or “Excuse me“. Remember to say “Thank you“ when anyone has done you a favor.Secondly, be tolerant. Listen carefully when others are talking to you, whether it is interesting or not. Dont constantly inter

34、rupt or contradict other people. What is more, never lose your temper, even if you are offended. If you do feel offended, try to talk to your friend frankly and earnestly.Thirdly, be considerate. Be ready to help your classmates, roommates, even strangers you happen to run across, whenever they are

35、in trouble. Making an extra cup of soup for a sick neighbor may see like a little thing to do, but it will make your neighbor feel much better.Lastly, remember name. Concentrate when you are introduced to someone, and try to remember his or her name.If you can follow these suggestions, I am sure you will succeed in making many good friends.)解析：
