11、案】 I live on an island, so the sea and beaches are everywhere and its also really green. Yes, I think there are. Because its an island, you have to catch a ferry to the city or to get anywhere, and so youre restricted by timetables and sailings. Im always missing the ferry. Ive lived here since I wa

12、s 12, so about five years. We moved because my Dad got a really good job on the island. I would definitely recommend the island in summer, but winters a different story. I have to commute every day to school so I get up in the dark and come home in the dark, so I hate it. But summer is fantastic. Im

13、 studying at the University of Auckland. My major is education so Im studying to become a primary school teacher. I chose education because I love working with children and I want to help kids to learn. Yes, I do. I have to catch the ferry from the island where I live into the city. It takes about 4

14、0 minutes each way. Mostly my mum cooks all the meals, but sometimes I cook dinner or something, just to give her a break. Yes, I think it is pretty important because otherwise one person can get resentful when they always have to do it, and then they dont cook good meals! Theres more variety if dif

15、ferent people cook. Well, yes, sometimes I enjoy cooking, when its not difficult and it doesnt take me very long. Yes, I think so, because Ill probably be living away from home, in a shared fiat or something. So Ill have to cook a lot more. I hear all sorts of sounds, depending on where I am. At uni

16、versity I hear people talking and doing stuff, and at home I hear my family talking, the dog barking, things like that. I love music, because it can really make me feel good and lift my mood. And I also love hearing birds singing because the sound is so beautiful and unlike anything else I have ever

17、 heard. I dont like people screaming or talking really loudly. It really annoys me. I also dont like hearing people talking to other people on the phone, or other peoples conversations, or when someone reads their text messages out loud. I cant really remember any-apart from my parents voices always

18、 telling me what to do and what not to do! I usually send emails or a message on Face book. Yes, I think so. Although I only used emails before I knew about Face book. I like it because I hate talking on the phone, because it can get really awkward making small talk. So if youve got something to say

19、 its just a lot easier to message it rather than talk on the phone. Its faster. It depends, because if someone else is online at the same time, Ill spend a bit of time chatting with them, but otherwise Ill send a message, probably about an hour a day, I think. 2 【正确答案】 Im going to tall about a magaz

20、ine which I read called New Weekly. Its a celebrity gossip magazine so it contains all the latest news and scandal from Hollywood movie stars, actors, singers, everyone whos famous. Its not exactly serious journalism. In fact it probably has more pictures than anything else, you know, pictures of ce

21、lebrities without make-up, or looking terrible in their bikinis while theyre on holiday. But if they cant get pictures then the brief gossip column at the back always has some rumors which I actually think are just made up, but then months later it turns out that theyre true! You know, things like w

22、hos seeing who in the celebrity world. It comes out every week, but I dont actually read it that often as I never actually buy it. I just borrow friends copies once they have finished reading it, or sometimes my mum buys it. I like to read it while Im lying on the sofa eating chocolate, during the c

23、ommercial breaks on television. Or sometimes I read it in waiting rooms where they have lots of magazines. I have to confess that I really do enjoy reading this magazine, because I enjoy the gossip and seeing that famous people are just people like the rest of us. Plus it gives me and my friends som

24、ething to talk about as well. But theres also a part of me which hates the fact that I enjoy reading it as it is so trashy and tabloid and doesnt give the celebrities any privacy. My boyfriend always teases me about how embarrassing it is that I actually read it, but then I catch him reading it when

25、 Ive finished as well! Yes, I suppose so, ifI thought they would enjoy it. No, not as much as I would like because Im busy studying. 3 【正确答案】 Well I think for more and more people, accessing electronic media has become much more convenient and easy over the last decade. Thinking back, I dont think t

26、hat many people even had their own computers ten years ago, and now almost everyone has a laptop or a PDA or something, so they are constantly able to access the internet and online material. The internet and advent of mobile technology has completely changed the way people work, play and study. Thi

27、s is such a big problem, that Im not sure what the solution is. One approach might be to make the price of the movies and DVDs cheaper so that people can access them for less money, then they might be less tempted to purchase illegally copied material. There could also be higher penalties for sellin

28、g pirated goods and the police could be stricter and more focused on apprehending people. Ultimately I think technology has to be utilized to fight the problem, like with an encrypted signature on each song file or video or something. However, I dont think this problem can ever be completely solved.

29、 I think that its such a shame that so many magazines and newspapers have gone under, because they certainly had something to offer. On the other hand, the growth of new online publications has been huge, and because its so cheap to set up, I think there are a lot more specific resources out there f

30、or people. I think there will always be print media though, because people enjoy the tangible nature of paper in hand. I personally feel that the media has a huge responsibility to its public, in particular, the news media. This responsibility includes informing the public about political and other

31、news as well as giving an unbiased view of current affairs. Often the media is what keeps politicians honest and I think this is definitely an important part of their role. Of course it is, I definitely agree. Particularly with the Interact, the way new ideas are quickly distributed around the world

32、 through bogs, emails and social networking sites is amazing. Ideas spread incredibly quickly, especially in the areas of fashion and music. On a political level, I think the media is also influential as certain types of news commentary and opinion are selected for publication whereas others are not

33、 and this reflects a bias which is often then reflected in popular opinion. Ultimately it is up to the individual to ensure they are informed about a particular issue, though. The media of the future in some ways is already here, through bogging and social networking. Everyone and anyone can publish

34、 whatever they like-were all editors and formalists and critics. So the role of traditional media might change to keep pace with this, and maintain an online presence. But overall the role of the media is to provide information and I dont think that this key function will actually change significantly; just the way it is delivered may alter.
