15、ur team lose in a game? “It wasnt fair, “ says one. “The referee was on their side. “And did you see the way they played? Pitiful! They never should have won, “ adds another. Too often we say so. True, it is not easy for us to take a deep breath and tell the truth, “I think they are really good. I m
16、 not happy we lost, but I think we did our best. They just played better than we did today. “ Sportsmanship is what really counts about sports and what we should cultivate when doing them. Good sportsmanship is a sign of maturity. A humble attitude towards losing helps us learn more than just athlet
17、ic skills. We can also acquire an understanding of what good sportsmanship is all about. Good sportsmanship can be the “golden rule“ of sports in other words, we should treat the people that we play with and against as wed like to be treated ourselves. We demonstrate good sportsmanship when we show
18、respect for ourselves, our teammates, and our opponents. Good sportsmanship takes maturity and courage: when we work really hard, its not easy to admit that we havent played well or that someone is more skillful than we are. People who have learned good sportsmanship usually find that the positive a
19、ttitude they ve learned on the field applies to other aspects of life. At school, for example, theyre able to appreciate the contributions made by their classmates and they know how to work as part of a team to complete a project. They may enjoy more success at work as well, because good sportsmen r
20、espect others, including their coaches and teammates. Win or lose, sportsmanship helps us get through. It can be just as hard to be a good sportsman when we win a game as when we lose one. We ve probably seen athletes who take their own successes too seriously. Good sportsmen, on the other hand, are
21、 gracious and generous winners. They acknowledge their victories without humiliating their opponents. They are proud of their success, letting their victories speak for themselves. Even when they win by a landslide, they still find ways to compliment their opponents. When losing a game, people who a
22、re good sportsmen congratulate the winners promptly and willingly. They accept the outcome without complaint or excuses, even if they suspect that the referees made some questionable calls. They understand that in sports as in life one can not always win but one can learn something from losing. 【试题解

According to statistics from the National Popu
24、lation and Family Planning Commission (NPFPC), the countrys top population policy-maker, citizens who are 65 or older have already accounted for 7.1 per cent of the overall population at the end of 2001. This figure is expected to shoot up dramatically in decades ahead, and some predictions indicate
25、 the proportion of aged people will surge to 24 per cent by 2050. Therefore, it is obvious that we should do something right now to cope with the problem. In my opinion, there are several things we need to do. China must bolster its inadequate social security and healthcare systems, which are poorly
26、 funded at present. Although China began to establish the social security system in 1997, the system is still far from perfection. Without a sufficient pension system, senior citizens will not have the sense of security for the rest of their lives. Life expectancy is expected to rise as medical adva
27、nces continue and living standards improve, the elderly who believe they are obliged to receive support may increase greatly. Without a viable pension system, problems are certain to arise. Besides improving the current frail social security system, other options are also available to tackle looming
28、 problems. As a developing country with low productivity, investment in human resources should be enhanced. In this way the rising productivity could, to some extent, offset the negative impact of the declining labour forces. At the same time, the government should modify the current family planning
29、 policy to change social and economic conditions of the nation. To sum up, in order to deal with these circumstances and create a society in which people can enjoy true happiness throughout their lives, it is necessary to constantly review and revise social systems relating to employment, pensions,
30、medical care, welfare, education, social involvement and living environments so as to adapt them to the society. To achieve this goal, both the national government and local governments, as well as corporations, local communities, households and individuals, must cooperate with one another and work
31、actively to achieve our goal. 【试题解析】 第一部分 (首段 )从中国的人口现状以及未来的预测入手，指出老龄化社会即将到来，表明应该未雨绸缪的观点。第二部分 (二、三段 )重点说明如何解决老龄化问题，现在要做 的事情就是完善社会养老保险制度。第三部分 (第四段 )简单提出一些应该着手解决的问题。 【知识模块】 作文 3 【正确答案】 The Best Way to Reduce Stress In a world characterized by fierce competition, the rhythm of work and life is very fas
32、t. People have to work very hard. Therefore, more and more people suffer from a sense of frustration because they do not have proper ways of releasing the stress from work and life. Some people pick up drinking and smoking for relief; others turn to gambling, few even end up with violence towards ot
33、hers. None of those habits will make people better off. Then what should people do to reduce stress? I think following a satisfying hobby is the right remedy. A hobby is something a person like to do in his spare time. Hobbyists raise flowers, keep pets, or do shopping. They also paint pictures, pla
34、y musical instruments or participate in sports. They collect everything from stamps to stones, from coins to shells. Hobbies help people rest well after a day s exhausting work. Some people tend to bring home their problems from work. That is actually no good for rest. Hobbies can help these people
35、forget what happened at work and bring to their minds, with quiet and peace, the pleasure they can always find in the favorite activities. Hobbies provide a balance between work and play. When people are indulged in work, they easily feel stressed. Hobbies give them the vent to let the stress out. S
36、ome people are likely to take it out on their fellows. They say, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. No wonder that psychological experts have suggested that modern people take a hobby to cure the stress. What s more, hobbies can help people deal with stress from interpersonal relationship w
37、hich is also a big problem for modern people. For one thing, the same hobbies bring people closer, as is well-acknowledged. More friends usually mean more listeners. For another, the pleasure people get from hobbies is helpful to make them ignore the inevitable stress from contacting mean people. Wh
38、en Winston Churchill talked about his hobby, painting, he said, “To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies. “ I am sure his hobby must have helped him through numerous stresses. So as I said, hobbies are the best way of reducing stress. 【试题解析】 第一部分 (首段 )是引入，

In fact, we call say almost everything that
40、makes our life easy and comfortable is brought about by technological advance. However, some new problems come along, among which the most critical ones are environmental and ethical problems. If we do not pay enough attention to them and try to work out some solutions, they can seriously affect the
41、 happy life we are enjoying now. Environmental problem was first noticed after the first great technology breakthrough the Industrial revolution. Ever since, environment gets worse than ever before. Pollution caused by chemicals is very serious because it destroys the ozone layer. Without the ozone
42、layer, not only we ourselves but also all plants and animals are exposed to dangerous rays from the sun. Aerosol can emit chemicals which break down the ozone layer. Refrigeration and air-conditioning systems and cars also contribute to harmful emissions. And perhaps the most serious threat to the p
43、lanet is the warming of the earths atmosphere, which will result in floods, possible starvation and certain diseases. There are other problems caused by pollution. Human health is threatened by the poisonous gases and chemicals discharged by factories. Thus, the quality of our life is lowered. Techn
44、ological advance also arouses ethical problem. We know technology is developing fast, maybe too fast for the not-so-fast-developing ethical and moral levels. To some of the questions raised by technological advance, we have no ready answer. For instance, do we have the rights to clone animals, or ev
45、en human beings? Do we have the rights to use technology to destroy others? Do we have the rights to do whatever we want? The paradoxical fact is that technology can be used for both good and evil. Therefore the ultimate question will be how we should use technology. That is a problem that there is
46、no definite answer yet. Surely we can not stop developing technology because of the problems. We just need to find the solutions from where the problems emerge. We should rely on technology advances to solve the envir-onmental problems and try to make up the damages we have done. We should build up
47、the spirit of altruisms which will eventually guide technological advances in the direction of human welfare. 【试题解析】 首段先扬后抑，先肯定科技带来的进步，转而进入文章正题，即科技同时也引发了很多问题。第二部分 (二、三段 )从两个方面阐述了技术进步带来的问题，一是工业革命之后产生的环境问题；二是技术进步带来的伦理问题。结尾段提出了问题的解决之道。 【知识模块】 作文 5 【正确答案】 Why Not Enjoy Campus Life A new semester always
48、brings new ideas to a campus. A new trend is the eye-catching messages on a bulletin board. “Im a junior. I want to rent an apartment out of campus and am looking for a roommate. Requirements “ This notice is not uncommon. There are similar ones at nearly all universities. It is becoming popular for
49、 students to move out of their dormitories. I understand that convenience, privacy, comfort are the reasons why most students choose not to live in a dormitory. But I think the campus is better to live in. In China, living out of campus can be very expensive. In Shanghai, according to Shanghai Heli Renting House Company, it costs about 3,000 yuan per month to rent an apartment. Rents in other cities can be a little lower, but still it costs a lot of money. Undergraduate students do not have incomes, and the ren
