1、专业英语八级（作文）-试卷98及答案解析 (总分：10.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、WRITING(总题数：5，分数：10.00)1.PART V WRITING（分数：2.00）_2.Affluent Chinese are traveling abroad frantically buying international brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Gucci. Why do you think Chinas rich spend big on luxury goods? The following are opinions from
2、 different consumers. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the different opinions; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow
3、 the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Mrok ( Japan) : I would like to say that it is also a trend of a group of people who become rich from being poor in a short time. So, most of them are eager to show their success in the economic aspect in order to earn respect from others, and l
4、uxury goods seem to be the best symbol of success. Another reason for this is the highly-valued competition in Chinese society, as well as in other East Asian neighbors. That is why those people buy Prada by day but sleep in a 2-star hotel by night (they dont want to be the loser in the competition)
5、. It also happened in Japan 20 years ago. Gaoshuangera (China) : As a student, I dont understand why we need a LV bag, especially if purchasing it with our parents money. Also, I dont like the idea that people look down on me if I dont have a LV bag. If you are really rich and you can afford a LV ba
6、g easily, why not? But if you want it just because of what others say, it is just xurongxin (vanity) as we say in Chinese. Himani (India): I think its true not only of China but also of many other Asian countries like India because these countries have very high import taxes. Also its a matter of st
7、atus symbol when people brag about visiting abroad and going shopping in the US or in the UK. Felix (the US): China has imposed high import tariffs on luxuries, partly for the protectionism of their local productswhich is understandable. When living in Hong Kong and Singapore, I used to wonder why t
8、he mainland Chinese would be so ready to spend big money on luxury goods when traveling. I now understand that their purchasing behavior is partly due to practical considerations (cheaper, more varieties, better service, etc. ) and partly due to pent-up demand. Xilaren (Greece) : I had the chance to
9、 visit luxury shops in Athens, which had at least 15 Chinese women and men buying Gucci handbags. What is surprising to me is that none of them bought luxury shoes or clothes. Wearing a Rolex and carrying a Gucci handbag require matching shoes and clothes. Otherwise the luxury products are a failure
10、. This kind of buying shows me something saddening. Do these people care only about showing off by holding a Gucci handbag and do not care about clothes and shoes simply because nobody can recognize the brand of the shoes? If this is the case, then it is really saddening. JGVk (the UK) : I have met
11、many Chinese visitors in London. One of the main reasons why they buy many luxury items, instead of one or two, is simple. Many of them are first-time overseas tourists. In China and in most of Asia, there is a social obligation to buy presents of equal quality for friends and relatives. Over time,
12、this obligation may disappeartherefore, their shopping habits will change over the next few years.（分数：2.00）_3.A campaign calling for the death penalty for child traffickers has recently gone viral on Chinas online social networks. Do you agree or disagree that child trafficking should be a death pen
13、alty offense? Do you think death penalty deters child traffickers? The following are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the different opinions; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded fo
14、r content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Pnp Child traffickers must be sentenced to death because their greed brings pain and lasting misery to parents whose kids they traffic in! If you know a
15、 bit of the suffering of those parents who lost their kids to traffickers, their sleepless nights, their nightmares thinking of their beloved kids, their lives being turned upside down, and being unable to lead a normal life, you probably wont suggest such a soft approach! The death penalty is a ver
16、y powerful deterrent; traffickers would think twice before they embark on this heinous crime against humanity! To postulate that it will endanger the lives of the kids, and therefore the death penalty should not be applied, is to cave in to the traffickers! I feel sorry for the kids and their parent
17、s.Smuffy Death penalty will not deter the child traffickers, since child trafficking is such a lucrative trade. Instead, it will pose a serious threat to the child victims. China should reform its adoption system, thus forcing some families to resort to legal measures to adopt a child.Seneca I am op
18、posed to any killing of people, legal or otherwise. Death penalty solves no problem and only helps barbarity gain acceptance in the population. It is utterly devastating to lose ones child to a kidnapper who resells him to someone else. But have you ever taken the causes of this crime into considera
19、tion? China has enacted and enforced the one child family policy. This policy is quite reasonable against a background of demographics and economics, but it is unnatural and it also creates untold sufferings. What if a woman miscarries and loses her ability to conceive again? What if a couple have w
20、aited too long for their child to come? They have little option but to visit the grey and black market in search of a child. The question as to how to judicially treat child abductors and traffickers is a different one. Many crimes are committed out of sheer avarice; killing in retaliation does not
21、make people more moral. Just think how lightly some corrupt officials get off the hook and you can understand that the death penalty is no solution. The countries in West Europe that have no death penalty have the lowest crime rates while the countries with death penalty see their crime rates go fro
22、m bad to worse.Becky5512 Every child is the treasure of his parents. If you are in a situation where you are trapped in losing your child and unfortunately getting the news about the slack crackdown on those traffickers, how painful and desperate will you be? Definitely, effective measures should be
23、 taken to block the channel of trafficking children.Seanboyce88 You may think that offenders would think twice but an American research has shown that, the death penalty is an awful deterrent. It is simply an act of vengeance. I believe that the use of punishment is to teach someone right from wrong
24、, and that most actions stem from societal issues. If poor people had better wages, maybe they wouldnt have to be child traffickers to pay the bills. Killing for vengeance just creates a spiral of hate. Nothing is gained from it.（分数：2.00）_4.Recently, one local committee voted (5 - 2) to pass a measu
25、re requiring distributors of bottled or canned sugary drinks to put a warning label on their beverage. Is putting warning labels on sugary drinks a good idea or a bad one? The following are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in whic
26、h you should: 1. summarize briefly the different opinions; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Loveboy56 With the labels, we can know, if we n
27、eed to, the amount that we drink. If we have the labels then doctors can know if the amount that we drink is dangerous; with this we can protect our bodies from sugar defects, brain defects, and blood clots. If you disagree, then think about all the people who die because of sugar. Im not saying tha
28、t sodas and candies are bad; I am saying that having sodas and candies every day can harm you.Krampus People should know what they are drinking when they are drinking sodas! I do not get it! When you purchase a soda, you should know that there is a lot of sugar in it. In the end, I just do not belie
29、ve these warnings are going to stop any one from drinking their favorite soda anyway. We have all been taught that sugar is bad, so to reiterate that is pointless and it is a waste of money for those soda brands. Even a moderately educated blind person should understand that when they purchase soda.
30、 And if you still need to check if there is sugar in Coca Cola, there is something called nutrition facts. Simply turn the can and you will find a white box. Yes, that is it. Congratulations! You did it! Or do we want to put a sugar warning in the front to save people the extra effort to turn a can?
31、Pet 4050 Many people dont know what they are putting in their body, so with the help of the warning labels there can be less people drinking sugary drinks and less deaths every year. It helps people to be more careful with what they eat and drink because you never know what might happen if people ju
32、st keep drinking or eating things with sugar or just junk in general. One day we are all going to die if we dont do something now.Queenk There are already warnings which are nutrition facts. Besides those, it needs nothing else to let consumers know what they are drinking. If we put warnings there,
33、you might as well put warnings on everything.Gahia 786 There should be warning labels on sugary drinks, so that people could know what they are drinking. Nutrition facts are different from warning labels because nutrition facts do not warn us. For example, warning labels warn us if we can get cancer
34、 while nutrition facts do not.2016 hacker No one looks at labels on soda. It is a big waste of time and nobody cares about labels and we all drink what we want to drink. People can ask the company themselves if they want to know what they are drinking. So go have fun drinking something that you dont
35、 even know whats inside. Labels or not, Im drinking my soda.（分数：2.00）_5.Animal research, including medical research, toxicology testing, and psychological research involving animal subjects, has been used for several centuries as part of our efforts to better understand the world around us. Should a
36、nimal testing be banned? The following are opinions from different sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the different opinions; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency,
37、organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Clark： Animals have a right not to be harmed. The differences between us and other vertebrates( 脊椎动物) are a matter of degree rather than kind. If we accept as true for the sake of argument, tha
38、t all humans have a right not to be harmed, simply by virtue of existing as a being of moral worth, then we must ask what makes animals so different. If animals can feel what we feel, and suffer as we suffer, then to discriminate merely on the arbitrary difference of belonging to a different species
39、, is analogous to discriminating on the basis of any other morally arbitrary characteristic, such as race or sex. If sexual and racial moral discrimination is wrong, then so is speciesism. Frey: Animals rights are of less moral worth than human rights. Animal lives and human lives are of unequal val
40、ue. This is due to the fact that no animal possesses all of these characteristics to the same degree as the average human, or even comes particularly close. Thus any rights ascribed to animals should be truncated relative to the rights we ascribe to humans. Therefore animals should not rightly posse
41、ss the same rights to not be experimented upon as humans might. To the extent to which causing some harm to animals brings great benefits to humans, we are morally justified in creating some moral harm, to achieve a far greater moral good. Pete: Research can be done effectively without experimenting
42、 on living creatures. Science and technology has moved faster than research protocols, however, and so there is no longer a need for animals to be experimented on. The previous necessity of the use of animals is no longer a good excuse for continued use of animals for research. We would still retain
43、 all the benefits that previous animal research has brought to us but should not engage in any more. Thus modern research has no excuse for using animals. Tia: Animal research is necessary for the development of truly novel substances. After the effects, side effects and more complex interactions of
44、 a drug have been confirmed using animal and non-animal testing, it will usually pass to what is called a phase I clinical trialtests on human volunteers to confirm how the drug will interact with human physiology and what dosages it should be administered in. The risk of a human volunteer involved
45、in a phase I trial being harmed is extremely small, but only because animal tests, along with non-animal screening methods are a highly effective way of ensuring that dangerous novel drugs are not administered to humans. In the United Kingdom, over the past twenty years or more, there have been no h
46、uman deaths as a result of phase I clinical trial. Beth: It would send a positive social message, increasing animal welfare rights more generally in society. This creates a clear moral tension, as one group within society is able to inflect what to any other group would be illegal suffering and crue
47、lty toward animals. If states are serious about persuading people against cock fighting, dancing bears, and the simple maltreatment of pets and farm animals, then such goals would be enhanced by a more consistent legal position about the treatment of animals by everyone in society.（分数：2.00）_专业英语八级（作文）-试卷98答案解析 (总分：10.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、WRITING(总题数：5，分数：10.00)1.PART V WRITING（分数：2.00）_解析：2.Affluent Chinese are traveling abroad frantically buying international brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Gucci.
