Yet, in my opinion, instead of killing animals, human beings should treat them as their friends.It is an undeniable fact that animals play a vital role in maintaining the s

11、ubtle balance of the earths ecological system. The lack of this essential part will bring about the destruction of the whole world.

23、 behaviour seems to be an increasingly widespread problem and I think that modern lifestyles are probably responsible for this.In many countries, the birth rate is decreasing so that families are smaller with fewer children. These children are often spoilt, not in terms of love and attention because

24、 working parents do not have the time for this, but in more material ways. They are allowed to have whatever they want, regardless of price, and to behave as they please.

Others claim that men are just as good as women at parenting. Write an essay expressing your point of view.Sample Answer:The view tha

34、t women are better parents than men has shown itself to be true throughout history. This is not to say that men are not of importance in child-rearing; indeed, they are most necessary if children are to appreciate fully the roles of both sexes. But women have proven themselves superior parents as a

35、result of their conditioning, their less aggressive nature and their generally better communication skills.From the time they are little girls, females learn about nurturing. First with dolls and later perhaps with younger brothers and sisters, girls are given the role of career. Girls see their mot

36、hers in the same roles and so it is natural that they identify this as a female activity. Boys, in contrast, learn competitive role far removed from what it means to nurture. While boys may dream of adventures, girls conditioning means they tend to see the future in terms of raising families.Girls a

37、lso appear to be less aggressive than boys. In adulthood, it is men, not women, who prove to be the aggressors in crime and in war.

This is shown in intelligence tests, where females, on average, do better in verbal communication than males. Of course, communication is of utmost impor

40、ople think that Others believe that Discuss and give your opinion.题目特点：题目当中包含着针锋相对的两种观点。要求讨论并且提出你自己的观点。平衡式l 交代双方观点l 观点一及其理由l 观点二及其理由l 我的观点（倾向性-一或二或折中）注意：中心思想常在末段首句Some people believe that money spent on space research benefits all of humanity. Others take the opposite view and say that money for thi

41、s type of research is wasted. Discuss these views and give your opinion.Sample Answer：For over fifty years, a number of nations have been involved in the exploration of outer space. This research has been very costly, of course. Has this money been well spent or wasted?Some people believe that all o

42、r most space research should be eliminated because of its incredible expense, not only in terms of money, but also in terms of scientific and human resources. These people point out the fact that it cost billions of dollars to send astronauts to the moon, but all they brought back were some worthles

43、s rocks. These people say that the money and effort now being wasted in outer space could be spent on more important projects right here on earth, such as providing housing for homeless people, improving the education system, saving the environment, and finding cures for diseases.However, other peop

44、le believe that space research has provided many benefits to mankind. They point out that hundreds of useful products, from personal computers to heart pacemakers to freeze-dried foods, are the direct or indirect results of space research. They say that weather and communication satellites, which ar

45、e also products of space programs, have benefited people all over the globe. In addition to these practical benefits, supporters of the space program point to the scientific knowledge that has been acquired about the sun, the moon, the planets, and even our own earth as a result of space research.I

46、agree with those people who support space research and wish to continue. Space research, as shown, has already brought many benefits to humanity. Perhaps it will bring even more benefits in the future, ones that we can not even imagine now. Moreover, just as individual people need challenges to make

47、 their lives more interesting, I believe the human race itself needs a challenge, and I think that the peaceful exploration of outer space provides just such a challenge.Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions. Some people think thi

48、s is fully justified while others think it is unfair.Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.题解：和从事其他重要职业的人士相比，成功的职业运动员能挣多得多的钱。一些人认为这是完全合理的，而其他人认为不公平。讨论这两种观点并提出你的看法。范文：As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those

49、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, especially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists, or even leading politicians who have the respo

50、nsibility of governing the country. However, sports salaries are not determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds. Instead, they reflect the public popularity of sport in general and the level of public support that successful s

51、tars 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 professionals with real talent are very few, and the money is a recognition of the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful. Competition

52、 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 out of the spotlight. So all of these factors may justify the huge earnings. Personally, I think that the amount of money such sports stars

53、 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.译文：由于媒体的不断关注，我所在的国家的职业运动员成了明星和名人，那些顶级的选手得到高额收入。如同电影明星那样，他们过着奢华的生活方式，住豪宅，开名车。许多人觉得职业运动员的报酬不公平，尤其是把他们的高薪和顶级医

54、生或研究性科学家的收入加以对比的时候，或者和拥有治理国家职责的出色政治家比较的时候。但是，运动员的收入不是由他们对社会的贡献所决定，也不和他们承担的职责高低相关。他们的收入反映的是体育总体上的公众流行度和成功的体育明星所获得的公众支持度。因此，公正与否的概念在此不适用。那些觉得体育明星的高收入是合理的人认为拥有真正才干的职业运动员数量稀少，他们挣的钱体现了对于为成功而必须拥有的技能和贡献的认可。在运动员相对短暂的职业生涯里，竞争无处不在，选手每一次的表现都会经受考验。媒体的压力很大，几乎没有什么隐私。所以这些因素可以解释高收入的合理性。我个人认为和影星的巨额收入相比，这些体育明星挣的钱更合理，

55、但与此同时，这个现象表明我们社会重视体育甚于其他更重要的职业。分析：本文为社会类话题，讨论类题材。作为讨论类题材，本文写作方法是在第一段话引出话题，交代问题争论的焦点：体育明星的高收入。第二段话提出反方，也就是认为职业运动员收入过高的人的观点及理由。分析时把运动员的高收入和其他重要行业人士的收入进行了对比。作者在提出反方理由之后进行了相应的反驳，然后在第三段话提出正方，也就是认为职业运动员高收入合理的人的观点。然后进行论证，加以支持。最后在结论段里总结自己的观点，指出体育明星挣钱多的合理之处。大家在研读这篇范文时可以着重学习结构上的平衡性以及论证上通过对比手法紧扣主题。用词多样：“收入高”，题

56、目中用的是earn a great deal of money，文中几处地方分别改写成了are paid huge salaries, super salaries, huge earnings。“认为”，文中分别用了find, feel, 和think等。句型多变：长短句结合：例如第二段和第三段论证用的长句和总结时的短句。分类式 l 交代双方观点并指出其复杂性，进行分类l 情形一及做法l 情形二及做法l 总结The costs of medical health care are increasing all the time.

57、icult to balance the health care budget. Should citizens be totally responsible for their own health costs and take out private health insurance, or is it better to have a comprehensive health care system which provides free health services for all? Discuss.Sample Answer:A much debated issue these days is whether citizens should take out private health insurance or not. The cost of providing free medical care for both the wealthy and the poor is far too great for any government, and most people a
