13、ART VI WRITING (45 MIN) Directions: Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic. 1 【正确答案】 The Most Important Characteristic of a Co-worker In the workplace, you meet a variety of people with diverse backgrounds and you are required to maintain sound relationships with many of them
14、in order to have a pleasant work environment. And in most instances you have to rely on them. From my point of view, a co-worker needs to have some important characteristics, of which cooperation can be counted as the most important. Although our culture seems to put emphasis on individualism and re
15、ward those who are not good team players but mavericks, there is no denying the fact that employees with a cooperative spirit enjoy great popularity in the corporate environment. Such people know perfectly that they are always part of a larger team, and know better than to put their interests ahead
16、of those of the team. In a word, they can work as part of a team and know how to work well with others to accomplish common goals. Being a team player is very important. A company is like a machine and everyone in it acts as a part. When all parts cooperate, there is a chance to succeed. If someone
17、isn t cooperative, and wants to go his own way, he wont be of much help to the growth of the company. I have met several people who are fired, even if they are over-qualified for their jobs, because they have failed to cooperate with their colleges. Although they did their part wonderfully, but when
18、 discussing with others in a brainstorming session, they seemed reserved and unwilling to express their opinions, and when others ran into difficulties, they just stood by looking at what would happen next. As a result, the project made slow progress. Therefore, I believe that if employees do not co
19、operate with each other, it would be a devastating blow for a company. Also remember that a large part of teamwork is getting along with other people. So a good co-worker can also keep a good relationship with others. He can be trusted as a real friend or even as a family member. And working with hi
20、m can make you feel at ease. It is obvious that we spend most of our days at office working with people with their own characteristics. In my view, it is the cooperative spirit that makes a good co-worker. After all, if a group of people is pulling in different directions, then less is going to be a
21、ccomplished. So if you are an up-and-coming employee, before you reach the top you have to learn to play well with others. If you dont, you will be fired long before you hit a position of power. 【试题解析】 第一部分 (第一段 )：表明观点，同事应该具备的最重要的特质是合作精神。第二部分 (第二至四段 )：采用说理、举例等论证方法证明观点。第三部分(第五段 )：呼应首段，结束全文。 【知识模块】 作文
22、 2 【正确答案】 University Merger A common phenomenon we cannot fail to see in recent years is that an increasing number of universities or colleges are merging into more comprehensive ones. For example, the merger between Beijing Union Medical University and Tsinghua University and the one between Sun Ya
23、t-Sen University of Medical Sciences and Sun Yat-Sen University. Peoples attitudes towards university merger vary greatly. In my opinion, there are at least three advantages of university merger. First of all, through merger the two elite universities can amplify each others strengths and make up fo
24、r their shortcomings, thus cementing their identities. They can share and optimize the resources of higher education and produce well-rounded talents by offering students interdisciplinary programs and courses. Secondly, the merger between a big university and a small one is also a win-win game for
25、both. On the one hand, the merger is expected to lead to an extension of current degrees and graduate courses of the big university, making it better to meet the challenges of the competitive higher education and paving the way for it to become a first-rate university at home and abroad. Many of the
26、 211 program schools today are the result of merger. On the other hand, the small university can rise rapidly in terms of reputation and social status by merging with famous universities. As a result, Student enrolments of the school would be doubled or tripled since nowadays more and more students
27、desire to enter prestigious universities. Finally, the biggest advantage of university merger is cost saving. The executive and financial management of the two universities can be combined and unnecessary expenditure can be averted. Besides, because of the increase in student enrolments, the newly-f
28、ormed university can have large classes, thus greatly reducing the cost of operation. Therefore, there are many advantages in university merger. However, a lot of things should be taken into consideration before a plan of merger is put forward, such as whether the two universities are adjacent or wh
29、ether there are mutual benefits for both schools. Only by considering all those pracfical problems beforehand can a merger plan be carried out well. 【试题解析】 第一部分 (第一段 )：开门见山地提出文章的话题，并提出大学合并至少有三点好处。第二部分 (第二至四段 )：一一列举大学合并的三点好处。第三段： (第五段 )：重申观点，并提出大学合并前要考虑到一些实际问题。 【知识模块】 作文 3 【正确答案】 Should Universities
30、Attach Equal Importance to Sports and Cultural Knowledge? As a senior at college, I have received more than 15 years formal education. During the past 15 years, what impress me most is no other than a variety of exams. As our abilities are mostly measured by exam results in the present education sys
31、tem, physical education in schools is ignored, and thus lies far behind other subjects. However, in recent years, as the reform of education system advances rapidly, students physical education attracts more and more attention. In this case, the physical training in universities, which is the last p
32、rocess in scholastic physical edu-cation, becomes a topic under hot debate. Some people propose that universities should give the same amount of money to sport activities as to their libraries while others hold completely opposite view. Standing by the former, I believe that universities should valu
33、e physical education as much as they value academic study. First of all, the principal function of physical education lies in that it can strengthen students bodies. As we all know, todays university students are mainly those born in the 1990s. They are lack of necessary physical labor and thus badl
34、y in need of physical exercise. However, when they were in primary schools or secondary schools, they had to focus on endless school tasks and exams and seldom had time taking exercise. Now that they are in universities, they have more spare time which can be spend in improving their physical condit
35、ions. Therefore, universities should shoulder their responsibilities of providing convenience for the students. Secondly, physical activities are conducive to eliminating various kinds of undesirable mood and rebuilding healthy individuality. University is different from high school due to its invol
36、vement of other affairs besides study. Thus, college students should learn to deal with different problems by themselves, which subjects them to greater pressure and challenges. Under such circumstances, students are likely to experience feelings of uncertainty, anxiety or depression. Proper physica
37、l exercise helps to get rid of negative emotions and teach students to be stronger, more perseverant and confident. Last but not least, physical education in universities helps to popularize lifetime sports a concept that will eventually become the goal of the human being. In conclusion, universitie
38、s should attaches great importance to physical education, since for all college students, study is just one of the most important components of higher education. 【试题解析】 第一部分 (第一段 )开门见山地提出文章的话题，并指出大学应该像重视文化教育一样重视学生的体育教育。第二部分 (第二到四段 )给出理由来支持自己的观点。第三部分总结全文。 【知识模块】 作文 4 【正确答案】 Honesty in Business “ Hone
39、sty is the best policy“. This is the most important education we have been receiving through our childhood and early adulthood. But since a certain day, maybe one day after you have entered the business world, no one mentions it any more. And we gradullay get used to dishonesty of others, and of our
40、 own. No, it should not be this way. Our society demands honesty. Honesty should still be the best policy in business. Honesty is the essence of our morality. It is the basis of true friendship, happy marriage, and there is no difference in business. If there is the question “When is the right time
41、to be honest and open in the business dealing? The answer is:always. Because dishonesty is but a bad habit. If we cheat a little on one occation, there will be a second time, thus developing into an everyday practice. Business world is risky, but if we hold honesty business ethics, we have a code to
42、 live by. Then why honesty? Honesty repays those who are honest. What is the ultimate goal for a business? To make profits. What are the most important elements in making profits? Loyal employees and reputation. These can not be achieved through deception because deception is short-lived. Remmeber t
43、hat a person can not deceive all the people all the time on all the things? Only when we are honest to our employees, can we develop a workplace culture where people communicate openly and honestly about important issues, creating an environment that values and uses feedback to implement business st
44、rategy to make profits. Only when we are honest to our clients and business partners, can we build good reputation that attracts more people to do business with us. If we are not honest to the employees and the customers, they will leave, with the money they bring to us. We have to admit that we are
45、 born honest and honesty is still alive. It is just oppressed when we enter the dazzling business world, when we get the wrong conception that cheating can help to make big fortune, or when we see how deception work its way up, temporarily. But dont you think when being honest, we can spend every pe

And honesty, in turn, sets us free. 【试题解析】 第一段用对比的方法叙述了一个事实 童年时强调的诚实在人长大、进入商界后被忽略了，从而引出 “商业呼唤诚实回归 ”的主题。后面三段从诚实在生活中的重要意义谈起，阐述诚实在商业中的作用。 【知识模块】 作文 5 【正确答案】 Taking Risks or Carefully Planning Ma
47、gazines and newspapers are never tired of telling stories about people who succeed quickly by taking risks. However, the problem is that, while sometimes one can win a fortune, one can also lose everything. Careful planning helps to reduce the former possibility. Therefore, I strongly adhere to the
48、belief that success in life comes as a result of careful planning with a little risk. Firstly, careful planning is a requisite part of achieving success. As we all know, a detailed and specific plan with clear purpose will conduce to identify our goals and the steps we must take to achieve them. For
49、 example, if we expect to enter a famous university, we should be clear about our aim, such as which university we d like to attend. Then we should search for the information addressed by the university and make a suitable plan which will practically help us meet the demands of that university. Next, we should follow our plan and make achievements step by step. Secondly, taking chances is necessary on the way to success. Primarily speaking, taking risks means that at that time were not sure about the outcome
