5、 of sex equality is one that has been debated increasingly over the past few decades. Most countries now offer women the same basic human rights as men and so the debate has moved from that to the representation of women in various areas of employment, particularly those traditionally dominated by m
6、en. Some say that women are inherently unsuited to these jobs. Others, including myself, disagree. People who think that women are unsuited for work as police officers and soldiers usually point out that women are not as physically strong as men. It is true that the body mass of the average woman is
7、 lower than that of the average man, but there are many women who can hold their own in a physical fight with a man. Just as not all men are physically strong, not all women are physically weak. Nowadays, much of the work of police officers and soldiers depends on their intellectual capabilities rat
8、her than their physical ones. In this area, women have consistently shown that they are equal to men. Skills such as leadership, the abilities to search for, find and interpret information are certainly not male preserves. To conclude, the selection of a person for a job should not be based on wheth
9、er that person is male or female. People should be selected according to their personal capabilities. When selecting police officers and soldiers, a persons physical fitness needs to be taken into account and this may result in more men being selected than women. 【知识模块】 写作 2 【正确答案】 Nowadays, it is q
10、uite common to see local residents taking a walk accompanied by their dogs in the community but it is also a prevalent practice to do experiments on animals for the benefit of humans themselves, for example, to test different kinds of cosmetics or the invention of a new medicine. Some people can nev
11、er find themselves in agreement with such practices, especially pet owners or some animal right advocates, for they firmly believe the great pains or deformity undergone by lovely dogs or cats during the experiments are extremely inhumane and unjustifiable, or even immoral because the animals, just
12、like human beings themselves, are created equally by the Creator. Therefore they argue that animals should be treated fairly. I fully understand thier deep concerns, for some animals are seriously wounded or disfigured in the experiments (for example, vivisection) and killed afterwards these imagina
13、ble bloody scenes should indeed intrigue great emotional trauma to those pet owners. But I cannot agree that experimenting on animals is immoral. On the contrary, I think, it can be justified by biological morality. By this I mean it is reasonable that animals are subject to human beings because the
14、 former are inferior to the latter in the food chain, or the biological hierarchy. Of course, reaching the conclusion that animals are inferior to their human counterparts does not necessarily mean they can be used in experiments for any purposes. For example, their use for cosmetic reasons is point
15、less to me. However, other experiments for scientific research, especially those concerning the innovation of medicine, can be highly justified and necessary, for you cannot imagine a human being used such for experimentation initially. So overall, I tend to believe that experimentation on animals i
16、s necessary for some scientific purposes but that we should explore new technologies, such as genetics, to reduce the pain animals suffer. 【知识模块】 写作 3 【正确答案】 In recent decades, science has advanced incredibly, yet many people still hold artists in high regard. In this essay, I will suggest that this
17、 is because artists try to tell us things that scientists seem to find it hard to tell us. First, artists tend to be good at telling us stories whilst scientists tend to tell us bare facts. Artists who are highly regarded are usually those who can produce a picture, sculpture, song, etc., that tells
18、 us a story about life or our belief system. They not only focus on what has actually happened but also on what people feel or felt about what occurred. Scientists tend to be more focused on the facts, which can make them appear detached from everyday life. For example, when painting a picture of a
19、woman, an artist is likely to focus some attention on the qualities that his society feels are valuable in a woman. Second, artists are sometimes better able to tell us the ways in which it is possible to lead our lives in this world full of scientific achievements. Scientists are usually able to te
20、ll us how to use particular scientific achievements, but when it comes to using all of them together, it is often the artist who can provide suggestions. Neither of these points applies exclusively to artists. Indeed, history shows us very clearly that a scientist can also be an artist Da Vinci bein
21、g one of the most obvious examples. However, as a general rule, I think that scientists focus more on factual information and artists focus more on feelings. 【知识模块】 写作 4 【正确答案】 Nowadays, fashion has become a prevalent factor to be considered when we decide to buy something for fear that we may becom
22、e out of fashion or old-fashioned and thus are subject to the mock of others. There are at least two sets of reasons being responsible for this tendency. The first one has something to do with mass media, whether it is print media such as newspapers or magazines or the electronic media including the
23、 Internet or TV, where the readers or audiences are bombarded with all kinds of fashion things, for example, advertisements for certain dresses or suits with a gorgeous model or show biz celebrity, so-called advice on how to look cool and be charming with some dressing techniques and so on. These wo
24、rds or images are bound to have a most decisive influence on how to dress and what clothing to buy. Of course, whether to buy something fashionable is ultimately determined by we individuals, or more exactly, consumers. Therefore, some consideration should be reasonably given to the buyers themselve
25、s. It is often, if not always, believed that wearing clothes in fashion will give you some confidence, or a sense of being in rather than out of the modern life. In some other cases, fashion fans firmly believe that it is an indispensable factor for a decent life. All of these factors can help expla
26、in the feverish trends about “fashion clothing.“ However, it is claimed that too much dependence on fashion would lead to similarity or even uniformity in peoples dressing. I barely have this kind of worry, because I have a strong belief in the extraordinary creativity of the modern fashion designer
27、s, who seems to have a kaleidoscope to display. What I am concerned about most lies in the fact that fashion is by nature ephemeral. That means being fashionable at this moment may well change into being out of fashion at the next. As a result, some clothes may be worn once only, if ever, after the
28、impulsive buying and end up their entire life in the wardrobe, which certainly is a waste of the planets finite resources and energy. So overall, I do not intend to vehemently condemn fashion but would like to remind consumers to be fortunately careful when disposing of the old-fashioned clothes. 【知
29、识模块】 写作 5 【正确答案】 As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at the top are paid huge salaries. Just like movie stars, they live extravagant lifestyles with huge houses and cars. Many people find their rewards unfair, espec
30、ially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists, or even leading politicians who have the responsibility of governing the country. However, sports salaries are not determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of respon
31、sibility he or she holds. Instead, they reflect the public popularity of sport in general and the level of public support that successful stars can generate. So the notion of fairness is not the issue. Those who feel that sports stars salaries are justified might argue that the number of professiona
32、ls with real talent is very few, and the money is a recognition of the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful. Competition is constant and a player is tested every time they perform in their relatively short career. The pressure from the media is intense and there is little privacy ou
33、t of the spotlight. Therefore, all of these factors may justify the huge earnings. Personally, I think that the amount of money such sports stars make is more justified than the huge earnings of movie stars, but at the same time, it indicates that our society places more value on sport than on more essential professions and achievements. 【知识模块】 写作
