15、rs had been content with what they had, the world would not have developed to such an advanced degree. Ambition can be seen as a dynamical power, so long as it is achieved in a proper way.

The advancement of society depends upon our quest for a better fut
18、ure. Although ambition in its derogatory sense should be abandoned, we are not supposed to give up all ambitions which could be achieved in proper ways. On the whole, ambition is necessary during social and personal development because it is the stimulation and motivation that help people to strive
19、for the goal. All in all, people should not be content with what they have. Instead, it is significant for us to realize our ambitions in fair and equitable ways. People must always remember that ambition is a good thing as long as it does not harm others.4.Directions: In this part, you are required

25、 situations. 2. Possible reasons. 3. What should be done to solve this problem. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 Traffic Problem Should Be SolvedThere“s no denying that almost every big city around the world suffers serious traffic problems. Take Beijing as an example, during rush hours, traffic jam often
26、occurs on highways and ring roads. In fact, the transportation“s problem has become one of the biggest issues and the primary obstacle that hinder the economic development in such big cities as Beijing.

Given all factors above, the following measures could be taken to put the situation on hold. First, limit the number of private cars. Second, more subway lines should be developed as quickly as possible to reduce the jam on roads. These measures taken, I am pretty confident that traffic problems in urban areas will be solved in the near future.
