These visitors, so
11、metimes, bring chaos and garbage to the sites; some even deface the Great Wall by carving their names into it. Because of this, I think it is harmful to use cultural heritage to develop tourism in China. First of all, cultural heritage is of high historical value and should be protected from damagin
12、g threats. However, in China, many visitors are not well-behaved and do not pay due respect to cultural heritage. They stamp the century-old wooden desk, spit in the Summer Palace and doodle on the artistic murals. The historical value of cultural heritage is thus lost. Secondly, developing tourism
13、with cultural heritage is a greedy act which only aims at making money. Shaolin Temple, for instance, was a sacred and revered site for Chinese people. But now, with the tourism-minded administration, it has been turned into a brand, promoting its products and services and taking in millions of visi
14、tors. The once silent and tranquil site is now a spiritual wasteland, filled with hustle and bustle. In conclusion, we had better not develop tourism industry at the expense of cultural heritage which is worthy of our protection and reservation. 【试题解析】 本题属于 “立场选择型 ”作文,涉及的题材是 “文化教育 ”。该题要求考生对 “用文化遗迹来发

Recently, some municipal governm
16、ents decision to give rewards to those who do a good deed has sparked an extensive debate. Some say that good deeds deserve recognition and praise, while others argue that giving rewards goes against the traditional Chinese virtue that “One should do a good deed with a true and sincere heart without
17、 expectation of reward.“ As far as I am concerned, it is sensible to give rewards to those who do a good deed. Doing good deeds is the manifest of ones kindness. Giving sufficient public praise and offering proper rewards will not contradict with the traditional virtue, but on the contrary serve as
18、a contributing force to promote morality. It encourages good moral climate. By giving proper rewards, the governments send a clear signal that doing a good deed is a noble behavior which is worth encouraging. And more and more people will be willing to and be always ready to give their helping hands
19、 with the incentive of the rewards. Thus the virtue of doing good deeds will be more deeply rooted in peoples minds. As a conclusion, rewarding people for doing a good deed actually acts as an encouragement of such behavior and cultivates a favorable moral climate. I believe it is worthwhile to give

21、ive the relationship between Chinese culture and Western culture. As can be seen, 50.3% of the respondents believe that the two cultures would become more diversified. 35.5% of them think that Chinese culture and Western culture would get more convergent, while 5.1% think the two would get clashed.
22、The remaining 9.1% believe that Confucianism should be revived but not discarding Western culture. The survey results could be interpreted from the following perspectives. First, the world is getting more interdependent, which means no single culture could be dominant over others. To survive and thr
23、ive, each culture needs to draw upon the strength among one another. Second, because of the frequent interaction made possible by technology, people are now able to communicate with each other across time zones and countries. This has led to a tolerant attitude towards different cultures, allowing d
24、ifferent voices to coexist in the global discourse. In short, cultures will become more diversified, which I believe is a good phenomenon. 【试题解析】 该图表显示了受访者对中国文化和西方文化两者关系的看法。从图表可见,过半受访者认为中西文化会走向多元。根据这一思路,并按照题目要求,全文可以安排如下: 第一段:描述图表。 第二段:从两个角度解释过半人认为中西方文化走向多元的原因 文化之间日益依存以及人们交往频繁使得我们对异国文化更为包容。 第三段:总结全文。
25、 【知识模块】 作文 4 【正 确答案】 Set an Example for the Children As can be seen, the picture is divided into two parts. In the first part, a middle-aged man picks up a fish bone to his mother, saying: “Mum, you should take some calcium.“ In the second part, the middle-aged mans son follows suit and offers him a
26、 bone, saying: “Dad, you also need to take some calcium“. The implied message of the picture can actually be summed up by a saying: “Like father, like son.“ To teach our kids to be decent, we should first of all be decent ourselves. I strongly believe that example is better than precept. There are t
27、imes when we hear some parents scolding their kids for laziness, who happen to be so lazy themselves. For me, those parents have no right to tell off their children, since they are equally lazy. Theres no deny that children would imitate adults behavior. They pattern themselves after their parents,
28、internalizing parents words and deeds into their behavior and personality. That is why parents should set a good example for their kids. To conclude, children will become what their parents are. Therefore, parents should pay attention to their words and deeds and form a good example for their childr
29、en. 【试题解析】 这幅图片由两部分组成。在第一部分,一位中年人给他妈妈夹了一条鱼骨,美其名曰让她补钙。在第二部分,中年人的孩子给他夹了一块骨头,也说让他补钙。图片意在提醒成年人要为下一代树立一个好的榜样。根据这一思路,并按照题目要求,全文可以安排如下: 第一段描绘图片,点明 “有其父必有其子 ”的寓意,提醒成年人要为孩子树立好榜样。 第二段提出个人看法:身教胜过言教。以责备孩子 “懒 ”为例,父母自己如果不勤奋,就难以让孩子勤快起来。孩子们的模仿能力极强,成年人要为孩子树立好的榜样。 第三段总结全文:父母要注意自己的言行举止,为孩子们树立一个好榜样。 【知识模块】 作文 5 【正确答案】
30、Expensive Kindergarten Education In the picture, a ¥ -shaped scale is featured. On the left side is kindergarten while the right side is university. The balance is tilted to the left side. This picture illustrates that kindergarten is more costly than college, and asks us to have a rethink of whethe
31、r paying an exorbitant fee for kindergarten is justified. In my view, high-priced kindergarten must be avoided and money should be better spent elsewhere. Despite the famous saying “you get what you pay for“, I rather doubt whether it is true for Chinese kindergartens. Earlier this year, a newspaper
32、 reported that a private kindergarten, with a monthly day-care fee up to 5,800 RMB, served only plain and mediocre food. The so-called nutritious meals were nothing but plain porridge and diluted milk. If parents save the 5,800 RMB, they could buy various kinds of nutritious food for their kids. To
33、sum up, high-cost kindergarten is more like a gimmick and a placebo for parents who care for their kids too much. I believe parents had better allocate their resources for greater benefits. 【试题解析】 这幅图片刻画了幼儿园成本和大学成本的对比。从图中的天秤来看,现在幼儿同的花费比大学的花费更加高昂。根据这一思路,并按照题目要求,文章内容可以安排如下: 第一段简要描绘图片,并指出图片的意图:质疑上 费用昂贵的幼儿园的合理性。 第二段提出个人看法:花一大笔钱上幼儿同是不值得。以幼儿园收取昂贵的费用,但给小孩提供普通食物的新闻报道为例,说明一分钱并不一定有一分货。 第三段总结全文:高昂的幼儿园费用有时候只是父母的安慰剂,父母应将钱用在更有效益的地方。 【知识模块】 作文
