4、22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 the New York stock exchange price of a share in an American firm at intervals of six months between January 1999 and July 2005. The price of a share at the start of the period was 10 dollars. It
5、 then rose slightly to 12 dollars in July 1999 before rising quickly to 18 dollars in January 2000. The price of a share then fell back to 10 dollars by January 2001. The share price almost doubled to 19 dollars by July 2001, before falling gradually to 16 dollars in July 2002. Between this date and
6、 January 2005, the share price increased constantly, with the most significant increases being between January 2004 and July 2004 (a rise of 15 dollars) and between July 2004 and January 2005 (an increase of 13 dollars). Thereafter, there was a dramatic fall in the share price from a high point of 6
7、8 dollars to 39 dollars. To summarise, the share price has increased significantly over the period shown in the bar chart, despite the fall in the first half of 2005. 二、 WRITING TASK 2 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. 2 【正确答案】 The question of who should fund national sports teams and
8、individual sports men and women has been brought into focus by the great increase in the cost of financing sports teams and people. Some people argue that finding this funding is the responsibility of the government, but others believe that it should come from non-governmental organisations. Persona
9、lly, I see no reason why sports teams and sports people shouldnt be funded by a combination of sources. People who support government funding say that sports teams and sports people represent their countries and so should be supported by their governments. Successful sports teams and individuals are
10、 like advertisements for a country. Communist governments in particular are famous for their lavish financing of sports teams and individual sports people in an attempt to increase their prestige. People who oppose government funding of sports teams and individuals say that this is precisely why gov
11、ernments shouldnt be responsible for the funding. They say that the political importance of sporting competitions and matches often overshadows what should be a celebration of sporting skill and ability. People who are in favour of government financial support for sports teams and individuals also p
12、oint out that it is often difficult to get financing from other sources. Businesses are usually willing to support only the most successful sports stars and sports teams, leaving many without an alternative source of money. Just because a person or a team is not currently successful, it doesnt mean
13、that they will always be. Governments, rather than businesses, can invest in sports teams and individuals because it is good in general, not just because they expect some profit from it. Opponents point out that sport should be like any other activity and should compete for funds on its merits. My p
14、ersonal opinion is that sports teams and individual sports men and women need a lot of money and that it is unreasonable to expect the government, with its limited budget, to finance it alone. Sports teams and individuals should be encouraged to find money from a variety of sources, rather than just one.
