11、he Protection of Wild Animals a Waste of Resources? The current global extinction crisis is one of the greatest challenges posed by the rapid expansion of human populations. The protection of endangered species, as far as I can see, should be a top priority for the three main reasons: economic value
12、, scientific value and survival value. To begin with, wild animals provide many valuable substances, such as meat, skins and furs. The financial value of wild species is important to the economy of many nations. In many countries the recreational viewing of animals at zoos is also a source of revenu
13、e. The study of wildlife, on the other hand, provides valuable knowledge about various life processes. Such study has helped scientists understand how the human body functions and why people behave as they do. Scientists have also gained medical knowledge and discovered important medical products by
14、 studying wildlife. In addition, by observing the effect of environmental pollution on wild animals, scientists have learned how pollution affects human life. Furthermore, every species of wildlife plays a role in helping maintain the balanced living systems of the Earth. These systems must continue
15、 to function if life is to survive. Thus, the loss of any species can threaten the survival of all other lives, including human beings. In conclusion, the protection of wild animals in the 21st century is by no means a waste of resources; on the contrary, its importance should ever be more stressed
16、for the valuable resources the wild animals provide and for the sake of human survival. 【知识模块】 COMPOSITION 2 【正确答案】 On the Internship System for College Students Nowadays, it is not uncommon that college students are required to have experience of internship in factories, companies or other places o
17、f work related to their major during their four years of academic study. In my view, I favor this system because it helps in the choice of the students future careers. The internship system will train the students in many ways. It may help students relate the book knowledge they have acquired at sch
18、ool to the social practice the society may need, and thus the students may have a clearer objective to pursue in later study. It also provides an opportunity for students to take a look at the realities and to understand how to choose their jobs most suitable for them in the future. Through the on-t
19、he-spot training, students can learn more about the highly competitive society other than the small classrooms or quiet campus and provide in-depth knowledge on how to get along with other people. By receiving on-the-spot training, their interpersonal skills will be improved and their visions be bro
20、adened. To sum up, the internship system not only helps the students develop their careers, but also helps to enhance their competitiveness and competence in the job market. Meanwhile, students have the opportunity for easier access to the outside world. 【知识模块】 COMPOSITION 3 【正确答案】 Is Plastic Surger
21、y the Right Choice for Job Hunting? Among many reasons for people to undergo plastic surgery, the reason for hunting a good job is perhaps top on the list. In my opinion, its not a wise choice to make for the following reasons. Firstly, plastic surgery itself cannot help much in anything except for
22、peoples appearance. It can never be an overall settlement to any problems. Take job-hunting as an example. Maybe, beauty does feast employers eyes, but what they value most is the candidates ability, and what they need is a person who can do their job right rather than a beauty incapable of their po
23、st. To enhance the chance of being hired, one needs to improve themselves all round their knowledge, communication skills, teamwork spirit, etc, which has nothing to do with appearance or plastic surgery. Secondly, plastic surgery is only a way to evade from the real problem, not the effective solut
24、ion. Becoming beautiful can only solve ones problems temporarily, which, by no means is a once-for-all settlement. Worse still, it might lead to peoples less willingness to make real efforts to solve their problems, which is detrimental to peoples long-term development both in work and in life. More
25、over, given the risks of such operation, what would one do if the surgery fails? Whether or not to take plastic surgery is a very personal matter. However, I strongly go against it for the negative consequences it may bring about. What one needs to do is to improve himself to be well-prepared for th
26、e opportunities. 【知识模块】 COMPOSITION 4 【正确答案】 Can Technology Solve the Problems that It Has Created? Thanks to the fast development of modern science and technology, we now enjoy lots of conveniences. However, it is undeniable that we are also suffering from many problems, such as air pollution and n
27、uclear radiation. From my perspective, even though technology has advanced progressively, few efforts could be done to find a solution to the problem it has produced. The most obvious and significant factor contributing to the point is that technology has been creating new and serious problems than
28、ever. For instance, the invention of nuclear power, though generating for us plenty of electricity, has failed to prove its safety to our environment and humans. Moreover, those terrible leakages of nuclear power plants have shown that radiation from those chemical substances could not die out in ye
29、ars. To make things worse, scientists have not been able to figure out any feasible measure to eliminate this dreadful menace. It seems that technology could do nothing about it. More new problems along with the improvement of technology are another important factor. Despite the fact that technology
30、 has created new products and services and thus brought us convenience and benefits, it has at the same time turned out that new problems, like rare diseases, degraded environments, destroyed atmosphere or even disasters, lie in the current services of technological products. In conclusion, modern science and technology should be held accountable for those problems. It is still a slim hope to rely on technology to find better solutions. 【知识模块】 COMPOSITION
