In recent year

14、s, it is not rare to hear that some leading universities lower their admission requirements for celebrity students, such as film stars, pop singers and Olympic medal winners. As a result, more and more celebrities are accepted into the universities, many of who even needn t take the College Entrance

15、 Examination. Confronted with the above-mentioned facts, people take diametrically opposite views: some regard it as a win-win situation for both the universities and the celebrities while others think it goes against the principle of fairness. Siding with the former, I maintain that it is a wise mo

16、ve on the part of the universities to lower admission requirements for celebrities. First of all, it is reasonable and understandable to lower admission requirements to enroll celebrities if they have made significant contributions to our society or country. Whether it is breaking a world record in

17、sports or winning an international reward in filming, they deserve respect for their achievement. In this case, when they apply for an opportunity to receive higher education, why should universities shut them out only because they have gained fewer points than the average students in the entrance e

18、xamination? Secondly, celebrity students are positive role models for their fellow students. It goes without saying that successful people are often tough nails with strong determinations. They are often self-assured, hardworking and persevering. Their stories of success can stimulate fellow student

19、s to follow their examples and to get ahead in their own chosen fields. Then, how comes lowering admission requirements for celebrities both violates our societys sense of fair play and hurts the feeling of the hard-working students. Thirdly, universities can also enhance their reputation by enrolli

20、ng celebrities. For one thing, since celebrities are always the targets for various media, their studies and life on campus will easily become the hot topic of journalists, and this will in turn gain publicity for the universities. For another, since celebrity students are always those who rise to f

21、ame for brilliant achievements in a certain field, they can win more honors to their universities by using their advantages in various competitions between schools. Considering the above analyses, bending the rules for celebrity students benefits the favored individuals, the student body, as well as

22、 the universities. Therefore, I agree that universities should lower admission requirements for celebrities. 【试题解析】 第一部分 (第一段 )开门见山地提出自己的观点:学校为名人降低录取门槛是明智之举。第:二部分 (第二至四段 )给出相应的三点理由来支持自己的观点。第三部分即第五段总结全文。 【知识模块】 作文 2 【正确答案】 Evaluating Teachers From primary school to university, at the end of each seme

23、ster, students will get their evaluations from the teachers, informing them of their performance for the period of time. It is almost self-evident that such practice is good for students. Now things are a little bit different. The roles become interactive: this time, at the end of a term or a course

24、, students (usually at university level) are invited to help evaluate their teachers. Is this practice as good for the students? Definitely yes, in my opinion, not only for them, but for the teachers and the university as well. There are many advantages for such a practice. One of them is that the e

25、valuation from students is surly a valuable feedback to the teachers. This first-hand material can be used to improve the course and teachers performance. And the school will have a better idea of what students needs are and design programs to meet them. Teachers, in turn, will improve their course

26、plans or teaching methods if the suggestions are reasonable and practical. Another advantage is that the process of writing evaluations will help students think seriously about the courses, and further, about the education. What does the education they are receiving mean to them? What do they want f

27、rom such an education? How will the education best fulfill their anticipation? A third benefit is that the students will feel that the teachers and schools value their opinions much. In some way, they feel that they have a control over their education. A sense of responsibility is inspired then. Not

28、 only now will they receive education more happily, but also they want to participate in the course. Finally, when students evaluate their teachers, whether positively or negatively, they will realize that there is always room for improvement no matter what one does, and that they should always stri

29、ve to better their performance. Of course, when this new thing begins, it causes worries as other new thing does. Young teachers say that professors are surely more welcome, and the professors say they are too old to be the students friends. In fact, these worries are unnecessary as long as the teac

30、her is a responsible one. University students can be trusted, because they are grown-ups. Though still young, they are honest and responsible. They, as their universities and teachers, want to make contribution to the improvement in education. 【试题解析】 第一段通过回答大学生评价教师是否有利的问题,明确了自己的观点:学生评价教师是有益的。第二段陈述了支

31、持这一观点的四条理由。最后一段得出结论,强调老师们不必担心学生们的评价有失偏颇。 【知识模块】 作文 3 【正确答案】 Will Our Traditional Cultures Evaporate With the Development of Technology? When my father was young, he practiced Chinese calligraphy every day and enjoyed Peking Opera with my grandfather on weekends. Now as his daughter, I type in Englis

32、h when communicating with my friends and enjoy surfing the Internet during holidays. When I enjoy the pleasure and convenience that new technologies have hrought to me, some people cry out that as technology develops, traditional cultures must evaporate. Is it true that we cannot have both? Differen

33、t as my lifestyle is from that of my father, I still believe that the development of technology wont lead to the loss of tradition. To begin with, although entertainments are in abundance nowadays, traditional cultures still continue to dominate. We still regard going to a concert as a luxury; many

34、classic books touch a string from generation to generation in spite of time and space; we are still moved by the inspirational spirits of our great ancestors. Besides, our respect to traditional festivals reveals that traditional cultures will never fade away. Secondly, the development of technology

35、 boosts that of the tradition. On the one hand, new technologies make the research for traditional cultures possible as well as provide advanced techniques of reserving historic masterpieces. Take calligraphy as an example. New ways of illumination, which is the fruit of hi-tech, can prevent the col

36、or of scripts from fading. On the other hand, the rapidly developing media such as the Internet and communication satellite provide traditional cultures with a stage to face the whole world. Thirdly, if we look back at the history, we can find out that it was always in the era when economy developed

37、 greatly that cultures prospered the most. No doubt that the development of technology can guarantee that of economy, which eventually influences the prosperity of culture. Finally, as for some traditional cultures that are on decline, we have taken active measures to conserve them. Experts have com

38、e up with proper advices on protecting such cultures; many volunteers have dedicated themselves to studying them. Whats more,more and more people have discerned the importance of traditional cultures. Therefore, we are sure that our efforts will lead to a brilliant future. In conclusion, traditional

39、 cultures wont be lost because of technology. Though they may be changed a little, may become less popular, yet it will surely be better with the help of new technologies. 【试题解析】 第一部分 (即首段 )开门见山地提出自己的观点:科技的进步不会使传统文化消失。第二部分 (第二到五段 )给出四点理由来支持自己的观点。第三部分即最后一段总结全文。 【知识模块】 作文 4 【正确答案】 On Job-hopping To ho

40、p or not to hop, that is a question. People change jobs much more frequently these days. They believe that job-hopping provides them with a wide exposure to different work environments and increases their experience more rapidly, and in some cases switching jobs have been a faster way of getting a s

41、alary raise or finding their niche in early years. Sometimes this works. But it also happens that workers see that the short-term benefits (for example, a quicker salary jump) will not make up for the negative perception that potential employers would have about their constant job-changing habits. N

42、eedless to say, one of the things the employers look for in a potential employee is reliability, and they sometimes become reluctant to hire someone who has a history of short employment. From their perspective, short employment might be a sign that the employee is incompetent at his work or that he

43、 has difficulty in getting along with his co-workers or that perhaps he quits whenever the going gets tough. So those who are in the habit of job hopping will have to explain how they can be relied on and this can be a liability in job security. In addition, recruiters may not be convinced that empl

44、oyees have gained enough experience and on-the-job skills since they have not stayed in any particular company for very long. Whats worse, recruiters are also worried that frequent job-hoppers may leave shortly after they hire them, forcing them to start the recruiting process all over again. Finall

45、y, job hopping is not an end in itself and if you change your job blindly, you may end up in deviating from your original career plan and becoming restless and even cynical when your new job disillusions you. Considering all the above analyses, a conclusion can be safely drawn that changing jobs fre

46、quently do you more harm than good. It reflects badly on your reliability and loyalty as an employee. So if you have been in more than three jobs over the last five years, you may need to seriously assess your job-hopping habit. Dont always take it for granted that the grass is greener on the other

47、side of the hill, instead, think about the experience that you stand to gain from staying on a job and trust and confidence that comes with years of working with your colleagues before you make a change to your new career. 【试题解析】 第一段通过背景介绍引出自己的观点:跳槽获得的短期好处不能弥补雇主对员工频繁跳槽习惯的负面看法。第二段主要从跳 槽使员工的可靠性和稳定性受到影

48、响这一方面来论证观点。第三段自然得出结论:频繁跳槽弊大于利。 【知识模块】 作文 5 【正确答案】 The Internet Is Making People Closer With the widespread use of computers and the rapid development of the Internet, there has been a growing realization that the invention of the Internet has been a phenomenal achievement. It brings conveniences to

49、all trades and professions and revolutionizes peoples life and work. But not everyone deems the Internet as a blessing. Dissidents decry the Internet as a threat to society, sure to split families, fracture friendships and turn users into computer-crazed geeks. They believe that largely due to the Internet, more and more people would rather confine themselves indoors surfing online and enjoying the virtual life than go outside and communicate with others face-to-face. For my part, far from driving people apart, the Inte
