9、is because one needs to make greater efforts than others in order to earn higher grades in the exams. Top performers normally act as a facilitator to encourage other students to work harder and they can create a competitive learning environment at school. Academic study is also a kind of competition
10、 and should abide by the rule of fairness, so the best performers should be rewarded. NO Top performers are very much in the minority in a class. If we only pay attention to those high-level learners and ignore the rest of the students, their enthusiasm for study, to a large degree, might be reduced
11、. It is necessary for teachers to give certain awards to those who put considerable efforts into their study.

As for some not-so-good ones, they will be washed out naturally. Some Internet words have the same form as characters, and the meanings
16、they have are relatively stable. So we should not factitiously ban the new-born words and terms. Internet buzzwords enrich our communication and contribute a lot to entertaining people. Compared with traditional language, Internet hot words are vivid and funny, and many of them are popular among the
17、 young people. Through these buzzwords, people can communicate and interact with each other in a more interesting and effective way. NO Internet buzzwords are formed with the popularity of the Internet, which means that without the Internet those words may make no sense. In real life, not everyone i
18、s familiar with those words. Some people, especially the old, are puzzled by those words. In other words, Internet buzzwords can only make sense in the context of the Internet. They are not supposed to be encouraged. Young people are in the critical period of learning knowledge and forming their val
19、ues. For them, it is very important to use the standard language. In the virtual world, they may use the buzzwords at will. But if such kind of language is used in news and formal documents, it will do harm to the healthy development of language, even to our traditional culture. 4 Nowadays, advertis

YES TV advertisements often contain many illusive descriptions. In order to convince the public to buy the products, exaggera
23、ted expressions are used in advertisements to attract peoples attention. Whats worse, sometimes advertisers even provide false information for consumers, leading them to believe that the products have the claimed effects which they actually do not possess. Many TV commercials may convey wrong messag
24、es or values to the young people or kids. For example, the commercials of some luxury goods are often extremely beautiful and fascinating to watch, but too much exposure to this type of commercials may make people become indulged in the worship of material wealth. NO As an important part of the inno
25、vative industry, TV commercials aim to bring a sense of novelty to the audience and attract their interests. With the help of advanced technology, modern commercials strive to be pioneering, distinctive, and appealing. All the ingenious ideas, beautiful scenes and vivid effects shown in various comm
26、ercials can provide the audience with a fresh experience. Watching commercials is both amusing and relaxing for people.

Nowadays, whether young people should hold important posts in government agencies has become a
28、controversial issue. Many citizens tend to distrust young leaders working ability due to their age and lack of experience. However, some people believe that youngsters are eligible for leadership roles because of their innovation ability and vitality. From my point of view, I am inclined to elect yo
29、ung people as leaders although older leaders might have more credibility and influence. To begin with, young leaders can take more decisive measures to tackle corruption since they have less interpersonal problems to worry about. Moreover, with youngsters undertaking seniors positions, efficiency in
30、 handling affairs will be greatly improved which can keep the government innovative and productive. Finally, young leaders are more open-minded and more likely to accept new things, which can facilitate the enforcement of new policies. To sum up, old leaders have to be continually replaced by new on
31、es, which is an unalterable law of nature, so young people should be given the opportunities to practise leadership. And yet there is no denying that young leaders have a lot to learn from their predecessors, since they are rich in practical experience. 【试题解析】 本题讨论是否应该让年轻人担任政府要职。在具体行文方面，考生 首先要简要概述正反

Rewarding top students is normally considered as an effective approach to recognizing their achievements and inspiring other students. But some people argue that although top studen
33、ts deserve to be rewarded, it is more important to encourage those who show remarkable improvements since they also have made unremitting efforts in their study. My stand is that prizes should also be awarded to students who make conspicuous progress in their academic study. Firstly, education is ba
34、sed on the belief that it will make people more excellent, and encouraging those most improved students will be one of the best ways to fulfill that goal. Moreover, students differ greatly in their talent and living environment. Students from poverty-stricken families may not prevail over the best o
35、nes in study, but that doesnt mean they cant succeed in their future career. Therefore, spiritual or economic encouragement is likely to stimulate them to tackle seemingly impossible tasks. In addition, to reward the most improved students can not only boost their confidence but also raise their com
36、petitive consciousness. In sum, only rendering outstanding students awards may dampen the others enthusiasm, so encouraging both types of students mentioned above will be a feasible way to create an aspiring learning atmosphere. 【试题解析】 本题讨论是否应该只奖励优等生。在具体行文方面，考生首先要总结材料，简要概述正反双方的观点。然后给出自己的观点：不应该只奖励优等生

Many people regard these Internet buzzwords as shining stars, adding creativity and vitality to our language. They belie
38、ve that antiquated expressions will be weeded out and some Internet words are competent enough to take place of them. However, defenders of traditional language hold that Internet buzzwords are likely to get in the way of young peoples learning of standard language. In my opinion, while Internet buz
39、zwords make some difference to our culture, they cannot become the mainstream of our culture. Internet buzzwords do make our communication funnier and more vivid, but they only enjoy a high popularity among students and young people, and cannot be accepted by the majority. Although Internet buzzword
40、s bring a sense of novelty among users, they cannot be fully understood by all people in real life. Some of these words are beyond our acceptability and are confusing to understand. Moreover, such informal language may have an adverse effect on the sound development of our language and culture if us

So we should not widely use the Internet buzzwords without limits. 【试题解析】 本题讨论的是网络流行语是否应该被广泛使用。在具体行文方面，考生先要概述正方观点：应该鼓励使用网络流行语；反方

When we watch the favorite TV program, we are also accompanied by various TV commercials. Most people find advertisements annoying and m
43、isleading, full of flowery phrases and empty promises. But there are some people who find advertisements amusing and interesting. As far as I am concerned, TV commercials should be curbed. Firstly, advertisements often exaggerate reality and may contain false information. In order to attract the aud
44、ience and stimulate them to buy a certain product, advertisers often boast about the effect of the product, and hire pop stars or celebrities to persuade consumers to believe in the advertisements authenticity. For example, a TV commercial of a facial cream claims that a lady will turn ten years you
45、nger as soon as she uses the cream, which is obviously deceptive. Whats worse, advertisers often turn a blind eye to the public influence of commercials. Many TV commercials encourage young people to pursue pure enjoyment and lead a luxurious life. If youngsters watch these advertisements all day lo
46、ng, they may be infused with all kinds of unrealistic ideas, which may gradually influence their outlooks on the world and life and hinder their growth. Therefore, I strongly propose that TV commercials should be placed under strict restrictions in order to create a clean and positive environment for the audience and consumers. 【试题解析】 本题讨论是否应该限制电视广告。在具体行文方面，考生应该首先概述正反方观点，当前电视广告带来的不良影响，以及电视广告的优点。然后给出自己的观点：应该限制电视广告，并给出理由。最后总结全文。 【知识模块】 作文
