9、f marks. YES NO English as a global lingua franca facilitates cross-cultural communication. Today, eight in every ten international conferences designate English as their chief working language and ninety-eight percent of leading scientific journals in the world are published in English or at least
10、have an English version. The extensive use of English as a common language has a unifying effect on people who have different mother tongue. Language barriers naturally engender alienation while a shared language arouses a sense of belonging and sympathy. The expansion of English also enables people
11、 whose mother tongue is not English to appreciate the cultures of English- speaking countries more efficiently and more fully. As is known to us all, many cultures of English-speaking countries are among the richest and the most dynamic cultures in the world. The extensive use of English renders a h
12、ost of indigenous languages obsolete. According to a study conducted by UNESCO, over 200 ethnic languages went extinct in 2004, primarily due to the linguistic assimilation of ethnic minorities into the English language. These languages have crystallized and conveyed unique indigenous traditions, ri
13、tes, rituals, and their extinction is an anthropological disaster. The encroachment of English erodes the cultural identity of other races. The prevalence of English has a chilling effect on the purity of other languages and can aggravate the sense of cultural inferiority among the non-native speake

16、ns may result in a loss of marks. YES NO Financial beneficence from the developed countries could help poor countries acceleratedly construct infrastructure and build more houses. When some rich countries donate large sums of money to those needy countries, more job opportunities could be created an
17、d thus living standards of people in those countries could be enhanced. In 1999, only 50 percent of Tanzanias children went to primary school. Now the figure is over 90 percent. There are similar stories in Uganda, Ethiopia, Mozambique, and other African countries. How did this happen? Because the e
18、lected government of Tanzania chose to expand educational opportunities by using the donation from developed countries. Financial aid might make needy countries become over-dependent on the donors because money can only solve temporary problems. International aid might bring about political interfer
19、ence and economic exploitation. If poor countries want to become richer with the help of rich countries, a condition they must accept is to buy goods from the donors. As a matter of fact, the countries that benefit the most are not the poor countries but the rich ones. Concerns about the weaknesses
20、of poor countries government systems for budgeting and accounting have led some donors to resist providing aid to them. （分数：20.00）_4.老人们应该住养老院吗?题目要求 Should the elderly live in nursing house?

When old people, especially those who are suffering from disease, live in nursing house, nurses can look after them carefully and advanced faci
23、lities can also provide good treatment. In nursing house the old people can make friends with people who have similar taste and hobby. Old people living in nursing house can maintain harmonious family atmosphere. It is quite obvious that there is a generation gap between the old and their children.
24、They often have different opinions on many things. These differences might result in disagreement or even discord. While living in nursing house, the elderly may be homesick. They may miss their children, particularly when they have lived in nursing house for a long time. Many nursing houses cannot
25、offer a comfortable environment to the elderly because they do not have adequate advanced facilities. So we cant ensure that the elderly will have a high level of living condition in nursing house. Since nurses in nursing house are aiming to earn money, we should not expect that they will treat the
26、elderly in the same way as we do at home. （分数：20.00）_5.名人效应有用吗?题目要求 Can famous peoples support towards international aid organizations draw public attention to charity?

With the announcement of high-profile figures, such as famous singers, movie stars and star athletes, the activities or campaigns of international organizations can be respon
29、ded immediately. As the attention-getting group, famous people should and could pass on active influence, for the speeches and behavior of those top stars could set a good example for the public. Celebrities, as a respectable group, usually live under spotlight, receive maximum praise and considerab
30、le economic rewards. Hence, they are expected to make their unique contribution to the community as a returned favor. Their selfless donation could fulfill their social responsibilities, embody their kindness, and bring them great sense of satisfaction. A small part of celebrities dont gain much pop
31、ularity and cant bring any convenience to international aid organizations. Although some celebrities give their support to these organizations outwardly, they dont bring any tangible help. Stars assistance is limited and thus less significant in terms of resolving some international problems such as
32、 helping the population of poverty-stricken countries shake off poverty or tackling global environmental contamination. The impact of celebrities might be a double-edged sword. If some stars fail to practice what they preach, then, the public might lose confidence in the organizations they have publ

Some people advocating liberal education hold t
40、he view that the diverse subject system can give students more chances to choose their favorite subjects, cultivate more versatile students and make students understand the world better. However, those proposing specialized education believe that focusing on limited subjects allows students to focus
41、 on what they like, and therefore they are more likely to perform better and get greater achievement. From my point of view, adolescents should be exposed to various disciplines. On the one hand, the diverse areas of knowledge can arouse students curiosity about the world and help them understand th
42、e world systematically because there are direct or indirect interrelations among various subjects. On the other hand, teenagers are too young to decide theft future career. Therefore, liberal education provided by secondary schools can help students identify their tendency in academic and career ter
43、ms. In a word, specialized education does have some good influence on those students who have talents in one field. Nevertheless, we cant say it is the best education method since most average students can benefit a lot from liberal education. 解析 本题讨论中学是否应该提供通识教育，为学生提供更多课程种类。在具体行文方面，考生首先要总结材料，概述正反双方
