Foremost, if the person is a political lead

3、er, the question would undoubtedly relate to political events, especially public policy issues, as an example, if I meet either of the candidates running for president of the USA, there would be no more appropriate question to ask than What would be your top priority in governing the USA if you win

To sum up, it is hard to decide which kind of question should be asked when meeting a famous person unless we take their background into consideration. In other words, I would have to answer this on a case by case basis. 问题:2. Directions: Many students

11、hile live without families, but your roommates. However, to live with other people is neither easy nor difficult. You should learn how to be a good roommate, basically. Foremost, a good roommate should be open and willing to communicate. There are always issues regarding rent, bills, food and househ

12、old duties, guests, privacy, noises, sharing and borrowing, to name a few, and interests and hobbies of roommates are not always the identical. There will always be conflicts among roommates.

Directions: Some people think governments should spend as much money as possible exploring outer

18、 space (for example traveling to the moon and other planets). Other people disagree and think governments should spend this money for our basic needs on Earth. Which of these two opinions do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.答案:参考范文 Spending Money on Earth When

19、we see photographs of starving children, its hard to say that we should spend billions of dollars on space exploration. But thats just what we should do. Children dont need to be starving, but we do need to explore space. Right now, we have enough money to feed every person on earth. Children are st

20、arving because of mismanagement of resources and simple human greed. Those are problems we can solve right here on earth. That shouldnt stop our need to find out whats beyond our own solar system. Firstly, space exploration requires a great deal of money and offers little immediate return. Spending

21、money on immediate human needs, on the other hand, can have a big effect with relatively little investment. In other words, the money will be more useful if spent here on earth. Secondly, spending money at home is that space is not the answer to all our problems. Experiments done in outer space may

22、lead to medical breakthroughs, but if we do not solve basic sanitation and other health problems, disease will continue to threaten human lives. Thirdly, space exploration is a long-term project, but the threat of some problems on Earth is immediate. If we do not solve our environmental and health p

23、roblems soon, we may become extinct long before we find another habitable planet. In short, although space exploration is a valuable endeavor and should be supported, it should not receive all the money available.

Teachers should be paid according to how much their students learn. Give specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.答案:参考范文 Should Teachers

25、Be Paid According to How Much Their Students Learn? Some communities have decided to base evaluations of teachers on students test scores. Its these evaluations that determine how much teachers will be paid. I dont think this is a very good idea for several reasons. Firstly, how can we judge whether

26、 a student learns a little or a lot? Consider the modern evaluation systems, there is no fair and effective way to assess how much a student learns. Some people might be in favor of using examinations to test a student, however, it is already well known that the marks one gets doesnt necessarily equ

27、ate to the knowledge one acquires. Besides, it is inadequate to associate a teachers pay with the performance of their student, since it cannot be quantified. Secondly, even if there did exist some way to evaluate a single students academic performance, it would still be impossible to decide the tea

28、chers salary based on that. As a teacher, they certainly have more than one student, and the students they teach may vary widely in their capacity for learning. History provides us with numerous examples of this Confucius, an ancient Chinese philosopher, taught 3,000 students, only 72 of whom are of

29、 any historical note. Socrates, the famous Ancient Greek philosopher, also had countless students during his life, but only one, Plato, is still widely known today. How, also, do we calculate how much should have been paid to Confucius or Socrates? Neither the prominent students nor the mediocre one

30、s can provide an impartial answer. Besides academic knowledge, teachers also have the indispensable responsibility of teaching moral virtues to students. If we put too much emphasis on knowledge alone, there may arise some unwanted extreme situations. A teacher might be so hungry for a raise that he

31、/she only focuses on academic teaching and neglects to instill moral virtues, which not only would do harm to the individual students, but also put the whole society in danger in the long run, because the development of a society depends on both knowledge and moral values. In conclusion, though nowa

32、days the society might be a little wealth-focused, it still can not link a teachers pay with how much his/her students learn for lacking feasibility and real meaning. If it is inadequate to assess a teacher based on the academic achievements of their students, it is impossible to assess the morality

33、 of their students, as morality cannot be tested in a classroom but can only be tested in real life situations and interactions. Therefore, I believe it is impossible to fairly pay a teacher based on what their students learn. 问题:5. Directions: You have been told that dormitory rooms at your univers
