4、卷 11答案与解析 一、 WRITING TASK 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. 1 【正确答案】 The bar chart tells us how many winter person-trips were made in the USA for business and for leisure between 1999 and 2003. The number of business person-trips was about 38 million in 1999, falling slightly to 37 m
5、illion in 2000. Then there was a bigger drop to 32 million in 2001 and a further fall to 30 million in 2002, followed by a slight rise to 31 million in 2003. The number of leisure person-trips was far higher than the number of business ones. In 1999 148 million person-trips were made. There was a sm
6、all increase on this figure in 2000, when the number was 150 million. Between 2000 and 2001, there was a much larger increase, with 160 million person-trips being made in 2001. The number of person-trips continued to rise, reaching 162 million in 2002 and then 164 million in 2003. Overall, we see th
7、at the number of person-trips was always much higher for leisure than for business and that the number of business person-trips showed a decline every year except for between 2002 and 2003. On the other hand, the number of person-trips made for leisure showed a constant increase, with the most notab
8、le rise being between 2000 and 2001. 二、 WRITING TASK 2 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. 2 【正确答案】 Whilst I agree that mobile phones have their problems, I still believe that these problems are outweighed by the benefits that mobile phones bring us. In this essay, I will look at the pro
9、blems and the benefits. I think that the social problems presented by the use of mobile phones are quite serious. However, it is not the phones themselves that create this problem it is the way that people use mobile phones. Many people seem to think that it is perfectly acceptable to use mobile dur
10、ing meetings, classes, and even classical music concerts. This is an indication of their lack of respect for other people and their lack of a decent upbringing rather than a demonstration of the problems of mobile phones, since every mobile phone has an off button. There may be medical problems asso
11、ciated with mobile phones, such as interference with brain waves, but these have not yet been proven. Indeed, a recent study by a Spanish researcher demonstrated that there was no danger even when hundreds of people were using mobiles at the same time in a train. Any detrimental medical effects are
12、likely to be minor and unlikely to outweigh the advantages that mobiles bring. The main technical problems associated with mobile phones include the problems that they cannot receive signals everywhere, the system can become overloaded, and battery time may be short. Signals are usually only missing
13、 in remote areas where there are few people. Systems can generally deal with all but the heaviest traffic and in such situations there are alternative forms of communication available. Manufacturers are constantly looking at ways to extend battery life. The benefits of mobiles are that they provide
14、person-to-person communication almost everywhere. People can be contacted at any time, though callers should bear in mind the time of day! Mobile phones have been proven to be particularly useful in poor rural areas of Africa and India, allowing reliable communication with the outside world and, as a result, furthering rural economies. In conclusion, there are certain problems associated with the use of mobiles, but these are easily outweighed by the benefits they bring, in my opinion.
