14、试卷 40答案与解析 一、 PART VI WRITING (45 MIN) Directions: Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic. 1 【正确答案】 Should We Return to Complex Chinese Characters? As one famous professor stated, “One can only appreciate the beauty of ancient Chinese literature through the complex Chinese cha
15、racters. “ What the professor wanted to convey is that complex Chinese characters are manifestation of traditional Chinese aesthetics. However, since the foundation of the PRC, China began to adopt simplified Chinese characters, so that illiteracy can be more easily eliminated. Undoubtedly , the int
16、roduction of simplified Chinese characters contributes to Chinas modernization. So when a member of the national committee of CPPCC proposed that we should return to complex Chinese characters, ongoing debates ensued with vehemence. Personally, it is impractical to return to complex Chinese characte
17、rs, but individuals can voluntarily make efforts to know complex Chinese characters. Firstly, since the simplified characters have played an indispensable role in peoples lives, wewill have to pay the price if we return to complex Chinese characters. To be specific,education administration has to be
18、ar the burden of changing textbooks; the corporations have to change their advertisements,contracts and other documents; the government has to change their seals, documents, agreements and treaties with foreign nations. Of course, there are other costs resulting from the return to complex Chinese ch
19、aracters. But the question lies in who are willing to bear the costs. In some impoverished areas, many families can not afford to receive education; when the global economy is reduced to a slow-down,the corporate world is making efforts to cut costs. Therefore, I perceive the policy of returning to
20、complex Chinese characters will trigger oppositions from the public. Secondly, considering the amount of complex Chinese characters, can all the Chinese learn to recognize them overnight? While students have the time to learn complex Chinese characters, what about people in other domains? The corpor
21、ate world can not afford to interrupt their business, government officials and civil servants can not be distracted from running our country, doctors and nurses have to be at work in case that emergency arises,just to list three typical domains that will be affected by the policy. Admittedly, return
22、ing to complex Chinese characters will help preserve traditional Chinese culture. When China becomes more involved in the world, western cultures, especially American culture, have influenced Chinese people at an unprecedented level. Many young people look to learning foreign culture as fashionable.
23、 However,the obvious benefits can not make us embrace the policy with open arms, for we should also bear in mind whether the policy is feasible. 【知识模块】 作文 2 【正确答案】 Does Personal Information Inquiry Intrude Personal Privacy? With the gradual awareness of personal privacy and the consequences resultin
24、g from privacy intrusions, more and more people become cautious about their privacy protection. However, recently,one can have access to anyones detailed information. By inputting a persons name and his or her ID number,we will confirm whether the items match each other. If the two match, we will se
25、e the picture of its owner. We can also bind our mobile phone numbers, e-mail accounts, and other information with the general identity numbers in the system. Under the authorization of us,any person can have access to our detailed information. Although according to the personal information inquiry
26、service provider, it satisfies the current needs of our society, and some people hold the opinion that the service will intrude personal privacy. As for me, I agree with the latter opinion. Firstly,as the service is based on its database connected to the Internet,it is likely that hackers will have
27、an easy access to anyones personal information at will. This concern is not an exaggeration. Even the claimed most secure pentagon website has frequent unwanted visitors,that is, hackers, how can we trust that the service is able to protect our personal information from being exposed to hackers? Bes
28、ides,as our privacies have been converted to a form of commodities, it is likely that motivated by money, employees of the service provider may sell our “privacy products“ for their own benefits. Secondly, while the service provider boosts that it is reliable in that it will not provide personal inf
29、ormation without due authorization of the person, we must bear in our mind that some Chinese people are excellent at making fake certificates and authorization documents. As the required procedure indicates, anyone can manage to know what he desires to know if he can procure his targets authorizatio
30、n and a copy of the targets ID card. As a matter of fact, it is only a technical matter for some malicious guys to obtain a copy of his targets ID card, and make a fake authorization document. In sum, as the real world is teeming with malicious people driven by money, and the Internet smart hackers,
31、our privacies are likely to be put at the mercy of those guys. The service provider seemingly contributes a lot to telling those malicious guys where to find our personal information. Finally,I can not help wondering why the service provider is able to collect our personal information without our au
32、thorization. Have not our privacies been intruded? 【知识模块】 作文 3 【正确答案】 Is It Advisable to Look for Friends Online? With the increasingly fast development of the modern society, the Internet has become an indispensable part of our daily life. One thing we can do with it is to make friends. Though many
33、 may consider it unsafe to look for friends online, I believe its advantages far outweigh its disadvantages. There are two main reasons why it gets my vote. First, net pals can enrich our knowledge and understanding of the world we are living in. In our daily life,the people and things we have the c
34、hance to meet are limited, and our ability to make friends and explore the society is also constrained for one reason or another. Fortunately, by making friends online, we can get to know more people and learn about things that may be impossible for us to meet in real life. Especially for those who
35、have stayed in the ivory tower for years, it is one of the effective ways to get to know the real world in advance,thus making preparations for the moment they have to step into society and begin to meet all kinds of people in their work or life. Second, sometimes it is easier to find friends online
36、 than in the real life. As the social competition is becoming more and more intense, interpersonal relationship is al-so becoming increasingly hard to deal with, to say nothing of the chance of talking heart to heart with people around such as a schoolmate or colleague. In this case, making friends
37、online is not a bad way out. Online friends do not have to talk face to face, so they will not feel embarrassed or uneasy to share with each other sadness as well as happiness; online friends usually do not have conflict of interests, so they feel safe and reassuring to directly pour out problems to
38、 others and receive sincere suggestions from each other. As the old saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Therefore, I dont consider it necessary to define specifically whether the friend is made in the real life or online, as long as we can find a true one. From the above analyses, we c
39、an conclude that the Internet is quite a positive means to find pals if we can keep our head and stay away from its unhealthy effects. In other words, all depends on human efforts. Therefore, it would be a great pity if we rejected the alternative way of making friends because of the possible risks
40、it involves. 【知识模块】 作文 4 【正确答案】 On Team Spirit We are living in a globalized world and the cross-cultural communications are increasing close nowadays. In other words,we have never been so closely connected with each other in the human histories. As a philosopher has pointed out, nobody is an isolat
41、ed island. If we want to have a bright future, we need more cooperation for the development. Therefore, team spirit is very important. It is an ability that people can trust each other and cooperate with each other for the successful completion of some important tasks. We need such kind of ability i
42、n particular during the globalization for several reasons. First of all, team spirit offers us a platform where we can operate our collective talent to work out the best. Only when we work effectively together can we have the best chance to get the success. Taking the 2008 Beijing Olympics for examp
43、le, I think the success of the event first goes to the superb team spirit of the organizers and millions of volunteers. So many people work hard and cooperate well for the single aim and the solitary goal; an exceptional Olympics for the whole world. A lot of student volunteers in Beijing are commit
44、ted and work tirelessly during the hot summer. History has witnessed their brilliant teamwork and valuable contributions. What is more, team spirit is quite useful for personal career. As young students,we must learn the core and sharpen our skills in the team. If you work in a company, most of the
45、time you have to finish or design a huge project with your colleagues. Each person can contribute their wisdom to the completion of the task. You cannot do it so well single-handedly. When we watch the Olympic Games on TV, we are so amazed by the excellent performances of the players. If they want t
46、o win the gold medals, they must compete as one person and exercise their own part well for the whole success. So we say the team spirit is the secret of success. Finally, team spirit is the symbol of national power and strength. As we all know, the Chinese delegation has won the most medals during
47、the 2008 Olympics and all Chinese people are so proud of our country. Another example is the touching power of the team spirit in the Sichuan earthquake. We were moved by the perseverance and persistence of the rescue workers who were eager to help their compatriots. In conclusion, team spirit is an
48、 important ability and skill in the 21 th century because we are all faced with the globalization and the question of how to live better. Therefore,we must learn to work well in the team and let the team spirit guide us to success. 【知识模块】 作文 5 【正确答案】 Should We Follow Fashions? Fashion is often assoc
49、iated with what pop stars or celebrities are wearing, but it actually refers to much more than the exclusive and expensive clothing produced by leading designers. Instead, it means clothing that is in style at a particular time and implies the process of innovation and change in dress. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with following it as long as we do like what is in fashion. First, fashion adds spice to life with its rich color, variety, and beauty. The fashion industry has been experimenting with a wide range
