12、 Keep Their Own Ones? “Do in Rome as the Romans do“. This saying eloquently advises every tourist to respect the local culture. I could not agree with this advice more and I think that visitors should follow the local customs. First of all, the purpose of traveling is to experience more and know mor
13、e about the world. What is the point of visiting Japan if we expect Japanese sushi tastes like cheese burger in our hometown? Again why do we bother to travel across deserts, if we naively hope to take a shower every day? In order to have a unique travelling experience, we must respect the local cus
14、toms and let them surprise us. Secondly, requiring host countries to accept the cultural diversity of the visitors is an act of cultural imperialism. Imagine how it will be if people in India, a country where eating with fingers is widely accepted, have to offer a number of tools transporting food i
15、nto the mouth: chopsticks, spoons, knife and fork. The Indian characteristic is lost and replaced by the featureless diversity. This is a rather rude imposition and visitors have no right to “invade“ the host culture in this way. In conclusion, visitors should be aware of the importance of following

17、由此带来的无与伦比的体验。 【知识模块】 作文 2 【正确答案】 Should Financial Support Only Be Provided for Scientific Research? It is presumed that science is more valuable in the contribution to economic development and national strength. Arts, however, are usually regarded as a luxury and fancy. Despite this, I think that fi
18、nancial support should also be provided for other fields, not exclusive for scientific research only. First of all, a healthy society needs the contribution of both science and arts. It is true that scientific invention will make our life easier, but the creative works in arts will make our life ric
19、her and fuller. For instance, the invention of computers transforms our way of communication, but a new type of art, by using mouse to draw a picture, also revolutionizes the traditional tools of “pencils and brushes“. The funding for both science and arts thus fuel the twin engines of our life, whi
20、ch is made more convenient and more interesting. Secondly, funding the disciplines other than science will enable us to know more about ourselves and the world. Science is very useful in changing the world. Arts, however, provide insights into our inner self and the relationship between mankind and
21、the world. In other words, scientific research produces more tools, but other research gives meaning and life to these tools and interprets their relationship with us. In conclusion, science and arts both deserve our funding, because they are worthy in their own unique way. 【试题解析】 本题属于 “立场选择型 ”作文，涉及

23、on in 1999, a bachelor degree is not able to secure a job as easily as it did 20 years ago. In this context, many people question the necessity of university education, saying that the input is falling short of the output. Despite this, I think university education is very important. First of all, c
24、ollege education makes us specialized in a certain field. Upon high-school graduation, we only know something of everything. But in university, we are supposed to know everything of something. For instance, I had to learn about chemistry, physics, biology, history, geography, English, Chinese and ma
25、th in senior high school. In university, I majored in English. Therefore, I was turned into a “specialist“ of English after college education. Instead of wasting time and energy in every possible filed, I could devote my heart and soul to one major and excel in it. Secondly, university education mak

Through presentations, interest groups, research groups and other activities, we not only gain valuable knowledge, but also sharpen our skills, such as communication skills, researching skills and team work.

28、的人才。 【知识模块】 作文 4 【正确答案】 Its Harmful to Use Cultural Heritage to Develop Tourism During May Day holiday and National Day holiday in China, millions of visitors swarm in cultural heritage sites, such as Forbidden City and the Great Wall. These visitors, sometimes, bring chaos and garbage to the sites;
29、 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 damaging threats. However, in China, many visitors ar
30、e 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 with cultural heritage is a greedy act which o
31、nly 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 visitors. The once silent and tranquil site is now
32、 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 “用文化遗迹来发展旅游业是有害还是有利 ”提出个人的意见。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：从五一和十

They take several days off and enjoy themselve
34、s on their own terms. I think going on holiday is a good idea, because it will refresh ourselves and broaden our horizons. First of all, going on holiday means you take time off from your busy schedule and immerse yourself in whatever you like. You may read a novel you have been meaning to read; you
35、 may learn to play golf and surprise your friends in the next gathering; or you may just want to stay at home and do some chores with your wife. No matter what it is, you will feel satisfied and relaxed, because you can choose to do things you enjoy. Secondly, for those who spend their holiday on tr
36、aveling, they will be rewarded with a broadened horizon. For instance, they could visit the Summer Palace and the Great Wall in the National Holiday and travel to Yunnan in the May Day holiday. Through these trips, they learn about China in the past and China in the wild. They come back home with an
37、 enlightened mind and more knowledge about the world In conclusion, going on holiday should be encouraged among Chinese people, as it will ease their stress at work and help them learn something new. 【试题解析】 本题属于 “给定观点型 ”作文，涉及的题材是 “健康生活 ”。该题要求考生对 “度假的好处 ”提出个人的意见。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：从中国人休年假入题，指出度假的好处。 主体：阐述原因。 1度假能让我们从繁忙的工作中抽身出来，喜欢干什么就干什么，寻乐其中。 2度假去旅游的人，其视野会得到拓展。举故宫、长城、云南为例。 结尾：重申观点，中国人应该多去度假，这样可以减轻工作的压力，也能学 到新的知识。 【知识模块】 作文
