5、ggest higher education should be funded by the government, while others think students should pay the course fees themselves. Discuss both views and give your opinion.（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： Higher education today is the key to an individuals development and a countrys long-term success. However, it i
6、s noticeable that today a large proportion of students find it difficult to afford the increasing tuitions fees for institutions like universities. In the debate over whether governments should pay for higher education, I personally believe they should offer some financial help, such as study loans
7、to economically disadvantaged students at least. Along with a tendency to hold that higher education is not compulsory, many people claim that it should be funded by students themselves instead of the government. This indeed reduces governments financial burdens to a certain extent, since the budget
8、 of the government is not unlimited, especially when considering the fact that in some places people do not even have equal access to primary education. But the limitation of this practice is also obviousthat students from impoverished families might be put at an extreme disadvantage as they cannot
9、be guaranteed an equal chance to pursue further education. As a result, others then suggest that all costs should be borne by the government, thus making higher education available to all its citizens, regardless of their financial situation. But, in contrast, it seems somewhat unfair to those tax p
10、ayers who are not planning to study in a college or university. Moreover, the theory of making governments cover all the costs for higher education for everyone is impractical. If it were otherwise, why are there only a few governments of countries with small populations now applying this policy? Th
11、erefore, I think a good way to tackle this issue is to offer government loans to those who require financial help in finishing their higher education, as it ensures economic status will not be an obstacle for students to apply for colleges or universities studies, and at the same time the government
12、 does not have to shoulder a financial burden beyond its capacities. What is more, students will be highly motivated, for they have to make the most of their time in schools so as to be capable of finding a decent job to pay off the loan in the near future.)解析：3.People today can perform everyday tas
13、ks such as shopping, banking or even business transactions, without meeting others face to face. What are the effects it may have on individuals and society as a whole? Is it a positive or negative development?（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： Thanks to technological advances, especially the development of comm
14、unication technology, today many daily tasks can be accomplished without us meeting each other face to face. Generally, I tend to believe it has more positive influence to our lives. It is evident that fulfilling some tasks over modern technologies such as cell phones, the Internet and other compute
15、r network is highly efficient. In the past, if people had the need to do shopping, we had to go to the shopping mall; but today, all can be done with the click of a mouse and the goods will be delivered home, even at a lower price. And we used to need to go to the bank and wait in a desperately long
16、 line if we wanted to make a transaction from one bank account to another; instead now we may comfortably make use of the self-banking service at home provided access to the Internet. Actually almost all banks and financial organisations are well-connected to the Internet, which promotes the develop
17、ment of international trade and the world economy dramatically. Thus, obviously, the convenience and efficiency of life has been improved significantly due to the technological advances. However, that is not to say that lack of face-to-face communication brings no problems. One of the biggest concer
18、ns is safety. With the increasing virus threats and well-trained hackers, online deals are well exposed to all kinds of risks and losses, for example, the widespread problem of identity theft. Another worry may lie in the fact that people might become somewhat indifferent and feel isolated in the lo
19、ng run without spending enough time with others in person. So when making the most of the good changes brought by technology, we should be aware of its potential downsides and find a way to minimise the negative impacts of them. Overall, there are both favorable and unfavorable effects on individual
20、s and society if everyday tasks are performed without the need of seeing each other. But, personally, I am quite optimistic about its future, and I think people and countries alike will benefit from it on a new level soon.)解析：4.With the increasing use of mobile phones and computers, fewer people ten
21、d to write letters. Some people even think the skill of writing letters will disappear completely. To what extent do you agree or disagree? How important do you think letter writing is?（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： Now people can communicate with anyone in the world with a click of a mouse or a call on a ce
22、ll phone. So someone is worried that letter writing might disappear completely one day. It is undeniable that, in terms of speed, computers and cell phones surely beat the traditional way of communication, such as letter writing. Obviously, the information travels much faster by cell phone conversat
23、ion or email than sitting down, writing the letter, mailing it and waiting on a response. Today people do not always have the time to put pen to paper, and sometimes immediate contact with someone is needed in many cases. Therefore, to many people writing letters is not the first choice of communica
24、tion any more. However, in spite of all this, there are certain occasions when letters are still the number one choice. The wedding invitations always seem more formal and sincere if hand-written; holiday cards with ink will often delight us more; and a carefully written love letter may intrigue or
25、move your beloved one more easily. So letter writing is still necessary even in this Internet era and sometimes unique with its physical being as against other virtual forms of communication. Clearly, there is still a place for the hand-written letter and there is no evidence that this place will be
26、 taken by technology in the future. Overall, I believe different ways of communication suit different situations, and none of them is going to disappear. So the skill of writing letters would exist as long as human civilisation does.)解析：5.Space research is a waste of money. The government should spe
27、nd money on improving conditions of people living on Earth. To what extent do you agree or disagree?（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： The funding of space exploration was, and still is, a source of constant debate. Some people claim that the the huge amount of money spent on space research should have been used
28、 to make lives better on earth. They might be wondering what the point of studying the universe is when there seem to be an endless litany of problems in our daily lives, such as poverty and famine. Although their concerns need to be acknowledged and understood, I think they are perhaps oversimplify
29、ing the situation here; instead, we need to look beyond financial measurements on this issue. One of the keenest arguments for continuing space research is that it has allowed us to make so many technological advances which have shaped everyday life in the modern world. For example,a multitude of ma
30、n-made satellites orbiting the earth have offered us a great range of information and functions that are transcending all previous barriers to communication and limits to knowledge .As a result, now we have accurate real-time weather forecast to suggest how we should dress and what activities to pla
31、n for the next day; television pictures and radio signals can be achieved 24-hours a day in many places; GPS can unerringly guide us to our destinations; cell phones connect us without heed of geographical boundaries. Therefore, as a matter of fact, we owe much that we have taken for granted in our
32、daily lives to space research. More importantly, furthering our understanding of how the universe came into being and ultimately how we ourselves came to exist is another huge endeavour that space research contributes to, because the capability to look back on realitys history means the possibility of looking forward into the future. Obviously, this cannot be measured solely in terms of money. So personally, I firmly believe that the necessity and significance of exploring outer space is and will always be irreplaceable.)解析：
