7、of Colleges Banning Selfies on Formal Occasions Self-portraits have been around since the early days of photography, but it was the growth of cellphone cameras that made them into a pop cultural phenomenon. Some universities have started a mini-trend when they banned selfies at graduation, arguing t
8、hat stopping to snap means dragging out an already hours-long ceremony or sullying its significance. While my opinion on selfies is that it should be promoted rather than prohibited. To begin with, by taking selfies, students can share with their friends and relatives their most important and memora
9、ble moments in their life. In the past we used to keep these memories with the help of other photographers. Although we may have some good photos as memory, that was rather passive and left not any choice for students themselves. So, taking selfies is simply a personal way to show whats happening at
10、 the moment and what they see themselves at the moment. In this way graduates were just exhibiting their excitement and that colleges should embrace it. Whats more, taking selfies can build excitement and add excellence to students study and life. Many universities encourage students to join pages w
11、hich the universities compile in the online publication. Thus the university hands over the control of their social media accounts to students, which is a really great hands-on experience to show their love for the university. In this way the university can put school stuff into social media, and it
12、 can also bring social media into the real campus life. What I have sketched out above can naturally result in the conclusion that for colleges, banning selfies on formal occasions is of no necessity at all. When properly managed, it can not only help students to have a sweet memory of these importa
13、nt moments, but also will serve as a better tool to bring these universities closer to the society. 【试题解析】 本题是一个观点态度型题目，核心问题是如何看待大学禁止在正式场合自 拍，有两个基本观点：同意禁止正式场合自拍，理由是造成的影响不好；反对禁止正式场合自拍，理由是可以留下美好的回忆。考生可以从自身经历出发对此问题进行分析，然后提出自己的观点并展开论证。可以根据以下思路展开写作： 思路 1：同意禁止正式场合自拍。 自拍会破坏正式场合氛围的严肃性，不利于各种正式活动的有序进行。另外，一些场合
14、的自拍会泄露国家机密或个人隐私，因此在这些场合同样也应该禁止自拍。 思路 2：反对禁止正式场合自拍。 自拍可以增进同学之间的感情、反映真实的校园生活并留下很多美好的 回忆，学校应该为学生提供更宽松自由的环境。另外，在校园里合理地运用自拍也可以拉近学校和社会之间的距离，因此没有必要禁止自拍。 范文选取了思路 2，反对禁止正式场合自拍。 【知识模块】 作文 2 【正确答案】 Should Schools Divide Classes by Students Grades? There is always someone blaming our struggle for education refo
15、rm. Sometimes its the “bad teachers“ who get the blame. Other times its standardized testing or insufficient funding. I blame dividing classes by students grades because it lowers self-esteem, discourages creativity and diversity, and reinforces the education inequality. A study conducted at over 20
16、 schools in Shanghai found that 80 percent of students surveyed based their self-worth on academic performance. Therefore, dividing classes based on grades will doubtlessly make those in elementary classes feel inferior. While teenagers with low self-esteem, due to peer pressure, are more likely to
17、have poor mental health, be involved in bad behavior, and be prone to worse grades, dividing classes by students grades creates a vicious self-reinforcing loop which leads to more school dysfunction. Secondly, the fear of making mistakes and being placed in elementary classes will diminish students
18、willingness to make different friends, take on creative and challenging tasks, and participate in interesting extracurricular activities. Besides, class divide violates the principle of education equality, since elite classes are more likely to have access to more qualified teachers, better educatio

Without that dysfunctional ranking we could stimulate a students eagerness to discover, create and share. Its time to admit t
20、hat the system has no place in our future. 【试题解析】 本题是一个观点论证型题目。核心问题是分析按成绩分班的利或弊。有两个基本观点：按成绩分班不好，不利于学生发展，违背了教育平等原则；按成绩分班可取，但要加以引导，不能出现教育资源分配不平等的现象。针对该题目，可根据以下思路展开写作： 思路 1：不应按成绩分班。 首先，学生一般把自我价值建立在成绩上，按成绩分班会伤害差班学生的自尊心，激发他们对学习、生活的负面心理，从而影响成绩，形成恶性循环。其次，因害怕犯错误影响老师评分，所以学生会排斥具有创造性和挑战性的任务，也不愿结 交不同类型的朋友，只会一味循
21、规蹈矩，成为考试机器。另外，尖子班一般会配备更优质的师资，接触到更好的教育项目，所以会强化教育不平等的问题。 思路 2：应按成绩分班，但应遵循一定原则。 首先，每个学生的天赋不同、兴趣不同、接受能力也不同，如果统一授课，不利于因材施教。但是，分班时不能给学生贴上成绩好坏的标签，而应采取鼓励的态度并对他们进行心理辅导。其次，不同类型的班级授课内容、进度和方法可以不同，但在教育资源的配备上应一视同仁。 范文选取了思路 1，认为不应按成绩分班。 【知识模块】 作文 3 【正确答案】 My Idea of Students Loan Defaults The issue of credibility
22、has long been a concern. And in recent years it has been more in the spotlight it has become easier and easier for students to get loans from banks, but the list of students who fail to repay their loans on time has become longer and longer. Students loan defaults will affect the sustainability of t
23、he national student aid system as well as the credibility of college students. According to statistics released by China Daily, nearly 24 million students have benefited from the national students loan system as of this year. It is the government that pays the interest for students borrowing bank lo
24、ans during their school years. So we can imagine how burdensome the load is for the aid system if the number of those in loan defaults keeps surging. For students, although no home is required to secure a student loan, dodging debts temporarily will be at the cost of a bright future in the long run.
25、 Those who have the history of overdue repayment will be put on the national credit blacklist. Their credit rating will be ruined and their chances of getting another bank loan in China will plummet. Car and housing loans will be out of the question. To solve the problem of students loan defaults, s
26、tudents must bear in mind the significance of honesty and integrity; colleges should warn students of the devastating consequences of failing to pay; government might as well design an effective scheme to help college graduates get employed in the competitive job market. 【试题解析】 本题是现象解释和问题解决型题目，不仅要分析
27、拖欠助学贷款这一现象，还要提出这一问题的解决方案。针对该题目，可根据以下思路展开写作： 思路 1：从拖欠助学贷款的危害入手。 一是不利于国家助学制度的稳定性，二是有损学生自己的信誉。接着从学生、学校和政府三方面提出问题解决方案：学生应深刻认识到诚信和正直的重要性；学校应时刻告诫学生拖欠助学贷款的种种危害；政府应制定方案帮助毕业生尽快就业。 思路 2：从拖欠助学贷款的原因入手。 一是诚信教育不到位，导致学生乃至整个 社会诚信缺失；二是就业形势日益严峻，许多毕业生不能顺利就业；三是个人理财观念淡薄， “超前消费 ”的经济观念在学生中普遍存在，而对如何偿还 “明天的钱 ”考虑甚少；最后，再针对原因提
28、出相应的解决方案。 范文选取了思路 1。 【知识模块】 作文 4 【正确答案】 Which Is More Important, Chinese Education or English Learning? As English is currently the most widely used language in the world, it seems clear that one will be better off if he or she has a good command of English. However, the strong focus on the study of
29、 English in China is like “putting a cart before a horse“. I believe Chinese education, including studying Chinese-related subjects, is much more crucial than English learning for the following reasons. First and foremost, more focus should be placed on the study of Chinese in schools as it carries
30、with it not only cultural significance but also a sense of pride and purpose. Chinese plays an irreplaceable part in the thought processes and spirit of Chinese heritage and civilization. Secondly, with the promotion of Chinas international standing, increasingly more foreigners are eager to know mo
31、re about China and its culture. Even if you are a master of English, poor knowledge of your own language, history and culture will impede your communication about Chinese-related topics with foreigners. Last but not least, Chinese culture is really in danger now, and we are losing the cultural ident
32、ity in facing the cultural globalization and the overemphasis of English. For instance, celebrating Chinese traditional festivals is losing popularity in some big cities while foreign festivals are coming in and taking over. In short, it is now becoming urgent to save our language and culture. Chine
33、se should preside over other subjects and the prominence of English study should be reduced significantly. 【试题解析】 本题是对比选择型题目。针对该题目，可根据以下思路展开写作： 思路 1：国学教育比英语学习更为重要。 语言 是文化的载体，也是中华文明和传统不可或缺的一部分，因此必须要学好汉语；随着中国国际地位的提升，越来越多的外国人想要了解中国及其文化，即使英语学得再好，不了解自己国家的文化、历史和传统就无法和外国人对此进行较好的沟通。另外，对英语的过分强调以及全球化的冲击，使得中国文化尤其是传统文化面临危机，如果不强调国学教育就会使越来越多的中国人丧失自己的文化身份。 思路 2：英语学习比国学教育更为重要。 在全球化的背景下，英语不好就意味着信息的闭塞、沟通的不畅和就业机会的减少。而我们时时刻刻都在使用汉语，也 处在汉语的环境中，因而没有必要再浪费过多的精力和资源在国学教育上。 范文选取了思路 1，认为国学教育比英语学习更为重要。 【知识模块】 作文
