15.Describe a place for a trip. (07. 8.11考题)
Sample answer:
I
would go to New Zealand for a trip if I had a chance. It's a lovely
country, made up two islands. It is very lush(青葱的) and green because it
rains a lot there. I would do a lot of different things and one thing I
would definitely do is to swim with the dolphins. One of my friends ever
did it, which she said was very interesting. At first, she was only
brave enough to pat them and then she got braver and held on to one's
fin while it took her for a swim. They moved very quickly and gracefully
through the water and it was fascinating(棒极了). So the place for a trip
would be New Zealand!
四、事件类】about events
16、Describe the most
important decision that you've made in your life. Include reasons and
examples to support your response.(05. 12.2; 07. 10.17考题)
Sample answer:
A particularly significant decision I've made in my life was that I came to work and live in Beijing.
I
had just finished my contract on a very decent job and I suppose I
wanted freedom, or at least a long break. So I decided to come to
Beijing even though I knew it is a challenging and demanding(要求苛刻的)
city. But I still thought life was wonderful and the world was big.
Besides, I was always a bit tempestuous(心潮澎湃的) and I liked to do things on the spur(鞭策) of the moment.
Arriving
in a new city was exhilarating. Just walking out of the station with a
suitcase and two bags and with a dream of doing something for the
Olympic Games, I felt I had arrived and I felt life was mine and I could
make of it what I wanted.
That summer, I realized again and saw
clearer that life never ought to be boring, but on the contrary is full
of adventure and challenge and is exciting, too.
17、Describe a social or political celebration event in your culture. (05. 12.17考题)
Sample answer:
A
type of social event celebrated in my culture is the flag-raising
ceremony on National Day. Oceans of(表示“许多”) people from all across the
country come to Beijing the day before. They are very excited to see the
ceremony with their own eyes instead of on TV. Some even have been
planting this dream in their mind for years. They arrive around 6:00
early in the morning, waiting for the special moment. I guess they are
all overwhelmed(震撼的) and thrilled(激动) by the wonderful scene at the
time. On the other hand, the view of the honor guard parade is
fantastic, the guards all wearing the green military uniform and
marching to Tianmen Square with a high spirit. Each birthday celebration
of the great country always begin with such a solemn(庄严的) flag-raising
ceremony, which strengthens the unity and motivation of its people.
18.Describe an enjoyable event in your childhood. (06. 9.23; 06. 12.1考题)
Sample answer:
An
enjoyable event that took place in my childhood was when I first got my
first dog--- Gus. I was ten and had been pestering(纠缠) my parents for a
dog for years. One day I came home from school, my parents said they
had a surprise for me and it was waiting for me in my room. I ran up to
my room and threw open the door. I found a tiny puppy with a red bow
around his neck at the foot of my bed. He was fast asleep. And for the
rest of his life, he slept on the exact same spot at the end of my bed
every night. That was a great happy event in my childhood.
五、【其 他】others
19. What do you do in your spare time? (05. 12.3; 07. 7.14考题)
Sample answer:
I'm
kind of indoor type, so most often I read. I'm interested in reading
all kinds of books and newspaper or magazine articles, especially those
on current issues. I just want to keep myself informed of what's going
on in the world.
Now I spend most of my spare time reading on the
Internet by browsing the screen. It's fast though it might do harm to my
eyes. It's just fast and I can read fast.
I also watch TV,
especially the NBA game ‘cause I'm a big basketball fan, even though I'm
not very good at playing basketball myself. I love to watch and I will
get excited and overjoyed whenever I see Yaoming do a nice shot.
20. If you unexpectedly received a large amount of money, what would
you do with it? Would you spend it for practical purposes or simply for
Sample answer:
If I got a lot of money, the first thing I would like
to do is to go for overseas study. I have always wanted to finish my
university in a different country. When I was in junior high, one of my
classmates got a chance to go to the USA. At that time there were not
many families who could afford their child to do that. To me, it was
also a dream, and the dream has been planting in my mind until today.
Therefore, I would definitely do this first if I had enough money. Then,
I would give the rest of my money to my parents so that they could live
a better and easier life. These two things above are what I really
would like to do if I had a lot of money.
六、【教育类】about education
……
21.
Do you think the high school should teach music and art as other basic
science? Include details and examples to support your opinion.(05.
12.2考题)
Sample answer:
Music and art should be important
components(成分,科目) of the school curriculum(课程) because they have many
uses besides recreation.
To study music is to study the basics. Through its study, students
come into contact with(接触) other basic areas of the curriculum: math,
science, social studies, languages, and physical education.
Apart from that, music, like reading, writing and speaking,
conveys(传达) thoughts, ideas and feelings. It also provides an avenue
for(提供方法/途径) developing self-expression and creativity.
On the other
hand, art education in itself has tremendous &#118alue(具有巨大价值). Learning
about the history, sharing ideas and knowledge, is always a good thing.
Music and art, therefore, as important parts of our lives, should be
taught in high school.
