13、et smokers everywhere: in the streets, on college campuses and in shops. There are 5.8 billion people in the world, and the smokers are about 1.1 billion, which makes up 20 percent of the world“s total population. No wonder some tobacco companies are boasting that they are making great contribution
14、to the world economy. But smoking is very harmful. First, smoking consumes a great deal of money. As is shown in the graphs, 200 billion dollars is wasted due to tobacco consumption each year. What is more, smoking does harm to the health of smokers, and it is the main cause of lung cancer. About 3
15、million people die because of the relevant diseases derived from smoking every year. From the following figures we can see that the amount of tobacco consumption is on the decrease, a clear evidence that more and more people are aware of the great harm of smoking to humans. The total amount of world
16、 tobacco production added up to 14.364 billion pounds in 1994, but it dropped to 14.2 billion pounds in 1995. Now, many countries call on people to give up smoking. Obviously it is high time that the tobacco manufacturers thought of the health of other people and tried to make their profits in some
17、other areas. 参考范文 2 In wave of economic reform, more and more people have realize the damage of smoking. It is obvious.

According to the figure, we can see the sum production of tobacco very great, 143.64 billion pounds in 1994, 142 billion pounds in 1995. The number of smoking man is
19、20% during world population. Smoking damages not only human“s body but also waste lot of money. For example, there are 200 billion dollar spending in tobacco and 300 million people die in smoking. I think tobacco companies produce more and more tobacco are wrong. I should try my best to depress the
20、damage of smoking.3.China“s policy of developing the west is being carried out. As younger builders, we must have helpful suggestions for better construction of the West Region.

21、on ANSWER SHEET 2. （分数：25.00）_正确答案：()解析：China“s Construction of the West The development of the eastern part and the western part in China is very unbalanced. While most east seashore areas are modernized, the west of China remains backward both culturally and economically. So the Chinese government
22、 has decided to invest more intensely in the west. But how to develop it with efficiency, economy, and sustainability is a critical issue, which might have effect upon the country“ s future. The state should stipulate more favorable and flexible policies to attract investment from other regions and
23、foreign countries. Talented people are another essential factor which holds sway over the region“s progress. On the one hand, we should try to create suitable environment for the talents to bring their strength into full play. Meanwhile, the government should promote the region“s education to produc
24、e more specialists of its own. Furthermore, we should lay stress on hi-tech industry from the very beginning instead of correcting the imbalance later. The most important problem we should pay attention to when we develop the economy is the environment. We have learned enough lessons from developed
25、countries as well as from our own. We cannot afford to gain economic success at the heavy expense of polluting the environment.4.Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition on the topic: Which is Better: Lectures or Discussions.

27、 two classroom teaching approaches. Some people hold that lectures enable students to learn more quickly and effectively. While others prefer discussions thinking they can help students learn more devotedly and creatively. Those who favor the former claim that lectures are more efficient for teacher
28、s to impart their knowledge to students over years of study and research.

But through the interactive activities involved in dis
29、cussions, students will have more opportunities to air their views and foster their abilities to analyze problems independently.
