You should write at least 150 words, and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:1. 上图所示为某校大学生平均每周使用计算机的时间: 1990年（2 hours）、1995年(4 hours)、2002年(14 hours)，请描述其变化；2. 请说明发生这些变化的原因（可从计算机的用途、价格或社会发展等方面加以说明）；3. 你认为目前大学生在计算机使用中有什么困难或问题。Student Use of Computers 范文：From the chart, we clearly learn that Students tend to use computers more and more nowadays. The average number of hours a student spends on the computer per week has increased sharply. In 1990, it was less than two hours; and in 1995, it increased to almost four hours; while in 2000, the number soared to twenty hours.There are many reasons for this tremendous growth. First of all, computers facilitate peoples life, and Internet provides people an amazing world to explore, which has attracted more students to use the computers. Moreover, the low price of computers allows many students to have one in their domitories. In addition, many net bars provide students convenient access to computers. As a result, it becomes an unavoidable trend for students to spend more and more hours on computers.As far as I am concerned, problems still exist in students use of computers. For one thing, students dont have enough skills to command computers, which limits their full use of computers. For another, students who are short of self disciplines may ignore their main task of study. To conclude, effective measures should be taken for students to guarantee the reasonable use of computers.练习二：Directions : For this part , you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Health Gains in Developing Countries . You must base pour composition on the following instructions (given in Chinese) : 1 . 以附图2为依据描述发展中国家的期望寿命( life expectancy)和婴儿死亡率( infant mortality) 的变化情况. 2. 说明引起变化的各种原因. You composition should be no less than 120 words. Remember to write it neatly. 范文：From the chart, we can learn that life expectancy has increased while the infant mortality has decreased in the developing countries in the period from 1960 to 1990. What impresses us most is the life expectancy was 40 years while it was about 60 in 1990 and the infant mortality was about 200 deaths per 1,000 births in 1960 while it was approximately below 100 in 1990. (In 1960 life expectancy was very low, while infant mortality was very high. However, in 1990 life expectancy increased, whereas infant mortality declined.)There are many reasons for the changes, but in general, they come down to three major ones. First, their living conditions were improved. In the old days people in the developing countries suffered hunger and were exposed to the elements. Nowadays they are well fed and housed. Naturally they live longer than before. Besides, the medical condition was also improved and so the adequate medical treatment ensures the adults health and reduces infant mortality. Most important of all, in the early 60s there were constant wars in some developing countries because of the colonial rule and so a lot of people were killed in wars. Nowadays most developing countries have become independent countries and their people live a peaceful life.In conclusion, the national independence and social stability are responsible for these changes. It can be predicted that people will become healthier and healthier. This in turn will decrease the expense on medical service and reduce the burden of developing countries. To conclude, it is beneficial to both the individual and the society. 练习三：Directions : For this part , you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Smoking Quitting Proves Hard. You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the chart and the outline given below: TypeYearNever SmokedFormer SmokersCurrent Smokers200068.9%9.2%21.9%200562.6%8.6%28.6%Smoking Quitting Proves HardAs can be seen from the table, the proportion of people who smoke is on the increase while that of people who have quitted smoking is very small, which has aroused common concern. As early as the year of 2000, only 21.9% of people smoked, while 9.2% chose to quit smoking. Then 5 years later, the proportion of smokers increased to 28.6%, and only 8.6% gave up smoking.There are many reasons accounting for this phenomenon. First of all, the smokers regard smoking as away to alleviate stress and fresh themselves up, so that, it is less possible for them to quit smoking successfully. Moreover, some young people want to show their personality through smoking, and they just dont have a plan to quit. In addition, there are some smokers who really want to quit smoking, but they generally lack strong will and the ability of selfcontrol. As a result, many people fail to quit smoking.As far as I am concerned, people should try their best to get rid of smoking. For one thing, smoking is harmful not only to the smokers but also to the people around them. For another, most of the fire accidents are caused by smoking. In brief, smokers should try to give up smoking for the health of other people and themselves.练习四：Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition of no less than 100 words on Income Sources between Chinese and American Students. Study the following table carefully and your composition must be based on the information given in the table. Write three paragraphs to:1. Describe the differences of the income sources between Chinese and American students.2. Analyze possible reasons for these differences.3. Predicate future tendency.Source of Income Percentage of Total IncomeParentsPart-time jobFellowship or ScholarshipAmerican Students50%35%15%Chinese Students90%5%5%范文Income Sources Between Chinese Students and American StudentsAs is shown in the table ，income sources of Chinese students are quite different from those of American students. In China, students get 90% of their money from their parents while in America, only 50% of students money is provided by parents. In addition, Chinese students earn only 5% of their money from part-time jobs and 5% from fellowship or scholarship while income from these two resources for American students takes up 35% and 15% respectively of their total income.I think there are probably three reasons for their differences. First, because of the influence of different social and family values, Chinese students have formed the habit of asking for money from their parents while American students have developed more sense of being financially independent. Second, most Chinese parents devote too much care to their children and they would rather save up to afford their childrens education rather than encourage them to take part-time jobs. But in America, many parents pay more attention to developing the students ability of self-reliance, so they encourage their children to find part-time job to earn some money by themselves. Third, since America is more developed than China, it is relatively easy for students to find part-time jobs. In China, such opportunities are rather rare.I believe with the development of China, more and more Chinese students will realize and pay more attention to the necessity of self-dependence. In addition, more and more opportunities will be provided for them to take part-time jobs. So more students will go out of the ivory tower to broaden their knowledge and to become the master of their own lives.练习五：Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition of no less than 120 words on Changes in Peoples Diet. Study the following table carefully and your composition must be based on the information given in the table. Write three paragraphs to:1. state the changes in peoples diet (饮食) in the past five years;2. give possible reasons for the changes;3. draw your own conclusions.You should quote as few figures as possible.Changes in Peoples Diet in China .As is shown in the table, there have been great changes in peoples diet between 1986 and 1990. From the table, we can find that grain, formerly the main food of most Chinese people, is now playing a less important role in peoples diet. And the same goes for fruit and vegetables. On the other hand, the consumption of high-nutrition food such milk and meat has increased rapidly.What has caused these changes? There are mainly three reasons (主题句). (6) First, people are much wealthier than before. (7) With higher income, they can afford to buy nutritious foods. (8) Second, people have realized the importance of a balanced diet to their health. (9) Lack of certain amount of meat or milk, for example, will result in poor health. (10) Finally, owing to the economic reform, meat and milk, which were scarce in the past, are produced in large quantities.(11) Although milk and meat are important to ones health, eating too much rich food may result in obesity and many other diseases. (12)Therefore, people should balance the diet not only eating a lot of milk and meat, but also enough grain, fruit and vegetable for the sake of their health.练习六：Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition based on the graph below.Outline:1.Rise and fall of the rate of car accident as indicated by the graph;2.Possible reason (s) for the decline
