5、. Others believe that most crimes are caused by people who are bad by nature. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. (2014-11-08)(分数:2.00)_正确答案:(正确答案: What causes people to commit crimes has been debated for years, the social circumstances or the root of evil in human nature? From my point of
6、 view, it depends on both the external and internal factors. However, the vicious characters of some people play a more predominant part in committing criminal offenses in most cases. On the one hand, crimes can be caused by external circumstances, such as poverty and social problems. For example, w
7、hen the society encounters economic crisis, the number of people who commit crimes often rises. This is because the hardship of life causes some people to lose their mind, when they cannot take the suffering of life. A good case in point is when a mans child is seriously ill and the family cannot af
8、ford to pay for the high bills charged by a hospital, it is very likely the man will steal or rob money when nobody gives him a helping hand. To save his child seems a good reason for him to behave illegally, but is this the only option he has? On the other hand, whether to commit a crime or not is
9、largely based on the persons morals in a specific situation. No matter how hard the life is or how bad the social circumstances are, the unlucky person can always make a choice. Those people who commit crimes using the excuse of hard life or the unfairness of the society are actually cowards, becaus
10、e the majority of people tend to choose a more reasonable solution even if they are in more difficult dilemmas. It is disrespectable to hurt innocent people or damage the common interest of the public , just because they cannot bear the sufferings of life or are angry with the society. For example,
11、in the riot in the summer of 2011 in London, many participants took the opportunity to rob shops and steal goods from supermarkets for their greed. They were people who did shameful anti-social behaviour . In conclusion, committing crimes can be the result of many causes. However, a sensible adult s
12、hould be responsible for his behaviour and to commit offenses in the name of social problems is not acceptable.)解析:3.Online shopping is replacing shopping in stores. Is this a positive or negative development? (2014-11-22)(分数:2.00)_正确答案:(正确答案: Since the 1990s the advance of computer technology and t
13、he increasing popularity of the Internet have brought about profound changes to our world, such as online shopping. Online shopping has greatly changed our life style and many people are concerned this is a negative development, because the peace of their life has broken. For instance, many owners o
14、f tangible stores have to find a new job when their business goes bankrupt because of the impact of online shopping. However, I think the benefits of online shopping surely outweigh the drawbacks and it is a positive development. When some people claim that online shopping steals their jobs, they do
15、 not see it also creates new jobs. For example, the number of people who work in logistics keeps rising, so the owners of the stores can work as a courier. Perhaps their income decreases from a businessman to an expressman, but the money should be enough to feed their family if they work hard. Also,
16、 they can move their offline stores to online. Through online business they can actually reach much more customers. Plus through their years of experience running a business, it is possible for them to have better business and make more money than managing a store which covers a comparatively small
17、area. The most benefits are for consumers. First, consumers have more choices when they shop online. For example, when the consumer goes shopping in a hypermarket, the goods a hypermarket can provide is limited, no matter how big the hypermarket is. However, they can visit hundreds of shops which co
18、ver a far wider range of goods with just a click on the mouse. The goods are delivered to their front door often the next day. What is more, the price of goods in the stores is usually higher than online shops and consumers have to travel to the stores. In comparison, the cost of money and time when
19、 shopping online is lower. In conclusion, online shopping not only provides more choices, convenience and lower prices to consumers, but also creates new jobs, so it is a positive development.)解析:4.Some people think that “vertical city“ is the best, where people live and work in tall buildings. Othe
20、rs think that “horizontal city“ is better, where there are few tall buildings. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. (2014-12-06)(分数:2.00)_正确答案:(正确答案: Nowadays, more people live in cities rather than rural areas in many countries. Generally speaking, cities can be categorised into vertical c
21、ities, which usually have larger population, and horizontal cities, which have smaller population. As to what type of city is more suitable for work and life, people hold different opinions and preferences. In my opinion, both of them have advantages and disadvantages. The type of city that should b
22、e built depends on many factors, such as population, land resource and transportation capability. Some cities which have large population but scarce land have to be vertical, such as Hong Kong, because it seems the only way to accommodate so many people within such a small land. Though not many peop
23、le in a vertical city can have a proper garden as good as in a horizontal city, they enjoy the convenience the city provides. When the high-rise towers populate people more densely, more facilities and services are required to meet the need of work and life. For example, a big shopping mall or a wel
24、l-equipped gym can be in walking distance. What type of city should be chosen to live in is totally a personal choice, which varies from person to person . There is no right or wrong answer. It seems that more young people prefer to work and live in vertical cities where there are more job opportuni
25、ties and they can enjoy the diversity the city has to offer. In many young peoples eyes, skyscrapers symbolises modernity. However, many elder people think vertical cities are like concrete jungles. They tend to live in horizontal cities where it is more likely that they have closer contact with nat
26、ure with a garden in the backyard and a park not far away from their house. In conclusion, although not many cities can choose to be vertical or horizontal , most people do have their rights to choose what type of city to work and live in. It more depends on personal preference and what kind of life
27、style they want to have.)解析:5.Shops should not be allowed to sell any food and drinks that have been scientifically proved bad for peoples health. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2014-12-13)(分数:2.00)_正确答案:(正确答案: Some people claim that food and drinks which have been scientifically proved b
28、ad for peoples health should not be allowed to be sold in shops. It seems reasonable at the first glance at this idea. However, in my opinion, it cannot hold water if we take a further consideration. Whether a kind of food is bad or good largely depends on how people have it. For example, fried chic
29、ken, French fries, burgers, which are popularly sold in McDonalds and KFCs, are called junk food, because they contain high calories, fat and sugar, which can lead to a higher rate of obesity and even cancer. However, such fast food docs not cause serious problem, if people consume it properly and p
30、eriodically . More importantly, it meets the demands of the fast pace of life of people as well as satisfying peoples appetite. As for drinks, alcohol serves as a typical example. On the one hand, alcoholic beverages are detrimental to peoples health when people drink excessively. On the other hand,
31、 it does good to peoples health if people drink in moderation. However, some food and drinks which have been proved to damage peoples health seriously should not be allowed to be sold in shops. For example, the food added with Sudan Red and the milk powder added with melamine are definitely dangerou
32、s to peoples health and they should be banned selling as quickly as possible. Furthermore, those people who make such food and drinks for higher profit are actually committing a crime and should be punished seriously . In conclusion, food and drinks cannot be simply categorized into bad and good, so it is too hasty to declare the so-called bad food and drinks should be banned selling . However, people should be guided to have food and drinks properly so as to avoid undesirable results, such as obesity and excessive drinking.)解析:
