7、tioned 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 the person is a young child, a retired person, or a businessman at the peak of his productive pri

8、me, 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 three months, having no choice but to lay in bed and stare at the ceiling all day. Moreover, there wa

9、s 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 playing with each other. Their lightheartedness really helped lift me out of my gloom and inspired me

10、 to start preparing for the exam even though I could not go to class. They understood what I was doing and once even brought my notes to my bed when I didn“t want to get up. In the end, I passed all my examinations. I am sure I could not have done it without the emotional support of my puppies. Dogs

11、 are not just emotional companions, though. Dogs can also provide very real services. Many dog breeds are specially designed for certain jobs.

14、wing statement? A zoo has no useful purpose. Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 The Value of ZoosIt has been said that zoos no longer serve a useful purpose. I believe this statement may be based on the fact that we can now learn about animals in othe

15、r 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 arguments do have some merit but do not outweigh the advantages of zoos as centers

16、 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 see otherwise. They may be from areas that are far away or inaccessible. Moreover, th

17、ey 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, especially rare ones, can also help the zoo achieve another important goalto prom

18、ote 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 with a protected environment and working to increase their numbers. In conclusion, th

19、ere is no doubt in my mind that zoos still serve a vital function in today“s society. They not only educate and conserve, but also allow people to experience a connection with animals. And it is this connection that may be the greatest benefit to both people and animals.3.Directions: Plants can prov

21、ld. Most plants are people“s friends in certain ways: some of them have extraordinary appearance or fragrance to enable people to enjoy aesthetic effects, just like tulip or lily; some of them never care for the living environment but could purify the polluted air, such as cactus; while others provi

22、de 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, rice reflects the specific culture of my country. Thousands of years a

23、go, 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, renowned for their wisdom, picked rice as a substitute to plant in t

24、he 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 by the English expression, “not for all the rice in China“. In the se

25、cond place, rice plays significant role in agriculture. It is the most widely grown plant and the most important channel for food. Nowadays, not only in my area but in every part of the world, people regard rice as popular staple food. My country, as a matter of fact, has become the largest rice exp

26、orting 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 glutinous rice dumpling, coupled with annual dragon boat race, as a

27、culture heritage, is made from a kind of sticky rice, and can be filled with meat or egg or even jujube in the middle, then wrapped by a special leaf. Steam rice cake is also tasty, and once be compared with chocolate in term of delicacy. All in all, rice is a plant with modest appearance that requi

28、res 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 people“s daily lives. Thus, rice, I consider, is the most important plant in my country.4.Directions: In the future, stud

29、ents 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. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 Studying at Traditional Schools or Studying at HomeIn th

30、e past, I“ve 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 better while the faculty and facilities at many of o

31、ur traditional public schools have become worse and more expensive. I think it“s 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 to match the time of day when they are most alert.

32、 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 lesson. Secondly, home-based education is safer and it

33、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 a child abuser, beaten or humiliated by school bu

34、llies, influenced by drug peddles and exposed to contagious diseases. It“s 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“ salaries and the cost of school facilities. Last of all

35、, 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 with city children, all without having to leave th

36、eir 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.5.Directions: The twentieth century saw great change. In your opinion, wh

37、at is one change that should be remembered about the twentieth century? Use specific reasons and details to explain your choice. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 What Is the Change that Should Be RememberedAbout the Twentieth Century?There have been many changes, both technological and cultural, in the twe

38、ntieth 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 of medical advances in three areas: d

39、evelopment 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 smallpox is forgotten disease and vaccina

40、tions 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 it used to be. Local clinics, visit

41、ing 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 can“t 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.
