4、can you suggest? 雅思写作（综合）模拟试卷 1答案与解析 一、 WRITING TASK 2 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. 1 【正确答案】 It is quite common these days for young people in many countries to have a break from studying after graduating from high school. The trend is not restricted to rich students who have the
5、money to travel, but is also evident among poorer students who choose to work and become economically independent for a period of time. The reasons for this trend may involve the recognition that a young adult who passes directly from school to university is rather restricted in terms of general kno
6、wledge and experience of the world. By contrast, those who have spent some time earning a living or travelling to other places, have a broader view of life and better personal resources to draw on. They tend to be more independent, which is a very important factor in academic study and research, as
7、well as giving them an advantage in terms of coping with the challenges of student life. However, there are certainly dangers in taking time off at that important age. Young adults may end up never returning to their studies or finding it difficult to readapt to an academic environment. They may thi
8、nk that it is better to continue in a particular job, or to do something completely different from a university course. But overall, I think this is less likely today, when academic qualifications are essential for getting a reasonable career. My view is that young people should be encouraged to bro
9、aden their horizons. That is the best way for them to get a clear perspective of what they are hoping to do with their lives and why. Students with such a perspective are usually the most effective and motivated ones and taking a year off may be the best way to gain this. 【知识模块】 写作 2 【正确答案】 Today, i
10、t is quite common for many schools to practice an “elite students“ policy, where the intelligent students are selected and given special treatment. Personally, I think this practice generally has more benefits on several different levels. The most obvious advantage lies in the fact that it allows te
11、achers to employ different pedagogic strategies suited to the particular group of pupils. For example, for the more intelligent students who are more likely to have a quicker mind and stronger thirst for knowledge, teachers or tutors can include something more difficult or complex in their syllabus,
12、 catering for the special needs. On the other hand, for some other students who are not that intelligent and may be slow at learning or acquiring new knowledge or skills, a correspondingly suitable teaching strategy then is highly desirable. In this case, the separate teaching scheme is generally go
13、od for both groups of students, since teachers can thereafter design different courses and teaching methods catering for their special needs. Of course, those who are in support of integration teaching may argue that separating one from another is a violation of individual rights and that everyone s
14、hould be treated equally regardless of their intelligence. I think the notion of equality is not the issue. The less intelligent students can be allowed to choose some advanced courses originally designed for those fast learners, and vice versa. Overall, I think it is not bad to separate students an
15、d nurture them individually. The authorities should take into consideration their pupils own preference as to being in or out of one particular group so that the benefits of this system can be maximised. 【知识模块】 写作 3 【正确答案】 Some people claim that scientific and technological subjects should receive m
16、ore emphasis in schools, given the importance of these subjects in the modern world. However, others think that this is not a sufficient reason to neglect education in arts and humanities. Obviously, there is little doubt that science and technology have had a great influence on modern society. The
17、commonly cited examples of the Internet boom and the need to keep pace with a fast-changing global economy show us the importance of familiarising the next generation with science and technology. But does it mean that arts and humanities should take up a smaller proportion of a students curriculum?
18、Arts and humanities, it is argued, help students to gain a better vision of the past and how the world has, and continues to change over time. In other words, arts and humanities help them to think; to understand the mistakes made in the past, but also to reflect upon the great things humanity has a
19、ccomplished. However, with the never-ending demand for new technologies and inventions, society is starting to pay less attention to the importance of arts and humanities. Therefore some people are wondering whether subjects in arts and humanities should give way to courses focusing on science and t
20、echnology. It is imaginable that if this really happened, the younger generations today would lack the skills of critical thinking, knowledge of how the world turns around us, and suffer in their ability to read, reason and communicate. At a time when so much is happening to change the way we work a
21、nd live, the way we relate to one another and the way we relate to the rest of the world, we actually need more knowledge and a better understanding of our shared history, philosophy and literature so that the lessons of the past are not lost. Therefore, I believe arts and humanities should not be g
22、iven less attention in schools today, and the planning of a reasonable curriculum should consider the overall benefits to the students. 【知识模块】 写作 4 【正确答案】 Poor student behavior seems to be an increasingly widespread problem and I think that modern lifestyles are probably responsible for this. In man
23、y countries, the birth rate is decreasing sb that families are smaller with fewer children. These children are-often spoilt, not in terms of love and attention because working parents do not have the time for this, but in more material ways. They are allowed to have whatever they want, regardless of
24、 price, and to behave as they please. This means that the children grow up without consideration for others and without any understanding of where their standard of living comes from. When they get to school age they have not learnt any self control or discipline. They have less respect for their te
25、achers and refuse to obey rules in the way that their parents did. Teachers continually complain about this problem and measures should be taken to combat the situation. But I think the solution to the problem lies with the families, who need to be more aware of the future consequences of spoiling t
26、heir children. If they could raise them to be considerate of others and to be social, responsible individuals, the whole community would benefit. Perhaps parenting classes are needed to help them to do this, and high quality nursery schools could be established that would support families more in terms of raising the next generation. The government should fund this kind of parental support, because this is no longer a problem for individual families, but for society as a whole. 【知识模块】 写作
